The terrifying new weapon changing the war in Ukraine
Yogita LimayeRODYNSKE — An acrid smell hangs over the town of Rodynske. A couple of minutes after we drive into the city we see where it's coming from.A 250kg glide bomb has ripped through the town's main administrative building, and taken down three residential blocks. We're visiting a day after the bomb struck, but parts of the wreckage are still smoking. From the edges of the town we hear the sound of artillery fire, and of gunshots – Ukrainian soldiers shooting down drones.Rodynske is about 15km (9 miles) north of the embattled city of Pokrovsk. Russia has been trying to capture it from the south since the autumn of last year, but Ukrainian forces have so far managed to stop Russian soldiers from marching in.So Russia has changed tactics, moving instead to encircle the...

German court rejects Peruvian farmer's landmark climate case
BERLIN — A court in Germany has rejected a lawsuit brought by a Peruvian farmer against German energy giant RWE in a long-awaited decision.Saúl Luciano Lliuya had argued that the firm's global emissions contributed to the melting of glaciers in Peru — threatening his hometown of Huaraz with flooding.He was seeking €17,000 (£14,250) in compensation — money he said he would use to pay for a flood defense project to protect the city.However, the higher regional court in the German city of Hamm on Wednesday blocked the case from proceeding further and ruled out any appeals, putting an end to Lliuya's 10-year legal battle.RWE said it was not active in Peru and questioned why it was singled out.It also pointed to its plans to phase out its coal-fired power plants and become...
