Climate protester sticks poster over Monet painting at Paris museum
PARIS — Monet’s ‘Poppy Field’ painting became a whole lot less bucolic and rather more apocalyptic at the weekend, when an environmental campaigner stuck a poster – depicting a cataclysmic future vision of the pastoral scene – over the impressionist painter’s work.The activist is part of the Riposte Alimentaire (Food Response) movement, which aims to promote action on climate change and sustainable agriculture. The group were also behind the attack on the Mona Lisain January, which saw protesters throw soup at the iconic artwork in the Louvre.The group said the red-hued poster was meant to show what the field would look like in 2100, “ravaged by flames and drought,” if more action isn’t taken against climate change.In a video of the incident, the activist said: “This...

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden has given permission to Ukraine to strike inside Russian territory with American munitions, though he has restricted their use so Kyiv can only hit targets over the border close to Kharkiv after Russia made significant advances around the city in the northeastern part of the country close to the Russian border, two US officials told CNN.“The president recently directed his team to ensure that Ukraine is able to use US supplied-weapons for counterfire purposes in Kharkiv so Ukraine can hit back at Russian forces hitting them or preparing to hit them,” one of the officials said.The loosening of the restrictions marks a break from long-standing policy and comes amid growing international pressure from close US allies.

AfD fears losing voters over latest Russia and China spy scandals
BERLIN — A series of scandals and spying allegations are jeopardizing the election campaign of Germany's AfD party, despite expectations that it will be crowned as the far right's driving force in the next European Parliament.The AfD's hopes of big gains, driven by its self-projected image of being the only true German patriots, have been all but dashed after the party suffered a series of blows to its legitimacy, including allegations of spying for China.Last month, an assistant to Maximilian Krah, AfD's top candidate in the European elections, was arrested on suspicion of spying for Beijing, and the duo's Parliament offices were searched.The aide, named as Jian G, was an “employee of a Chinese secret service," authorities in Berlin said.

Spain's parliament gives final approval to amnesty law for Catalonia's separatists
MADRID — Spain’s Parliament has voted to give final approval to a controversial amnesty law for hundreds of Catalan separatists involved in the illegal and unsuccessful 2017 secession bid.The legislation was backed by Spain’s left-wing coalition government, two Catalan separatist parties, and other smaller parties. It passed by a vote of 177-172 in the lower house with the conservative Popular Party and far-right Vox opposing it.The amnesty could benefit former Catalan regional president Carles Puigdemont, a fugitive from Spanish law in Belgium after fleeing his country following the failed breakaway bid that he led.It should also help hundreds more people, including former government officials in Barcelona, average citizens who participated in the secession attempt or protests, and...

REYKJAVIK — A volcano in southwestern Iceland erupted Wednesday for the fifth time since December, spewing massive lava flows that threaten to cut off the town of Grindavík and prompting the evacuation of the world-famous Blue Lagoon.Dramatic video and images from the scene showed fountains of red-hot lava shooting into the air along a 3.4-kilometer (two-mile) fissure near Mount Hagafell on the Reykjanes Peninsula.Iceland’s Meteorological Office said in a statement that “the first estimate of scientists is that the start of this eruption is more vigorous than in previous eruptions in the area.”The eruption began around 1 p.m. local time on Wednesday following an earthquake at the Sundhnúks crater, Iceland’s public broadcaster RUV reported.

Satellite to probe mystery of clouds and climate
BRUSSELS — A sophisticated joint European-Japanese satellite has been launched to measure how clouds influence the climate.Some low-level clouds are known to cool the planet, others at high altitude will act as a blanket.The Earthcare mission will use a laser and a radar to probe the atmosphere to see precisely where the balance lies.It's one of the great uncertainties in the computer models used to forecast how the climate will respond to increasing levels of greenhouse gases."Many of our models suggest cloud cover will go down in the future and that means that clouds will reflect less sunlight back to space, more will be absorbed at the surface and that will act as an amplifier to the warming we would get from carbon dioxide," Dr Robin Hogan, from the European Centre for...
