The future of Colombia rests in the hands of men like Juan Felipe Lozano, a 30-year-old law school graduate who is also a coffee maker, an entrepreneur, and a social activist. Lozano is part of the new generation that has emerged from the deal the government signed with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) eight years ago this month.

I have just returned to Rotherham after a two-and-a-half-week stint on the road in the US. That is a long time for me.

He is signing autographs before the round, on the range, even mid-round…

Inspired by her experience, the Iraqi resident developed ‘LittleGard wristband’, a baby monitor devised to send text alerts or emails to parents and, in extreme cases, alert emergency services. Stay up to date with…

Last week, we explored Gen-Z’s views on climate change, from how efforts at mitigation have failed to how we believe the issue should be tackled. The meat of this matter is a two-sided conflict — mitigation, adaptation, and the solution Gen-Z and science prefer: climate restoration. Mitigation Mitigation is the simplest response to climate change, ending or slowing it “by preventing or reducing the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) into the atmosphere,” according to the European Environment Agency (EEA). However, decades of moving the goalposts from how many degrees of warming the earth can withstand to countries that have the…

West Indies captain Rovman Powell said his team should take pride in bringing the buzz back to Caribbean cricket during the Twenty20 World Cup, even though they bowed out of the tournament in the Super Eight stage on Sunday.
