How scientists are fighting climate-fueled disease
LONDON — “They can smell us,” said Dr. Clare Strode.She is carefully carrying a mesh cage of mosquitoes across her lab in Lancashire, north-west England. To be more precise, these are Aedes aegypti, one of two species known to carry and transmit the dengue virus by biting and infecting millions of people around the world.These particular, laboratory-resident mosquitoes are infection-free and they’re trapped in a cage. Almost all of them move to sit against the wall of mesh closest to the scientist. They’re hungry.Clare is studying the insects to understand how dengue spreads around the world — and how climate change is fueling that spread.As leaders gather in Dubai for COP28 — the latest round of the UN’s international climate talks — experts say global warming is already...

Paris Olympics 2024: Locals ask if they’re worth the trouble
PARIS — Are Parisians falling out of love with their own Olympic Games?That conclusion might seem inescapable after a series of bad news stories over the last couple of weeks.First the city’s own Mayor Anne Hidalgo said out of the blue that transport for next summer’s Games would “not be ready in time”.Then it was announced that far from buses and metros being free for competition ticket-holders — as promised in the Paris bid for the Games — fares will actually double for the six weeks of the Olympics and Paralympics.The police chief revealed that his security plan comprises no less than four separate exclusion zones around each Olympic venue — prompting the head of the hoteliers’ union to say it was “so complicated I get a headache just looking at it”.And an Odoxa...

Bologna’s leaning tower sealed off over fears it could collapse
BOLOGNA — A medieval tower in the Italian city of Bologna that leans by as much as its famous counterpart in Pisa has been sealed off over fears it may collapse.Authorities have begun constructing a 5m (16ft) high barrier around the 12th Century Garisenda Tower to contain debris in the event that it falls.The 47m (154ft) tower tilts at a four-degree angle, and monitoring has found shifts in the direction of the tilt.The city council said the situation was “highly critical”.The Garisenda Tower is one of two towers that dominate the skyline of Bologna. The other, the Asinelli Tower, is around twice the height and also leans, though not so dramatically, and is usually open for tourists to climb.The structures were built between 1109 and 1119, though the height of the Garisenda was...
