                <media:description>BENGALURU, INDIA - OCTOBER 09: Men walk under electric pylons outside the Pavagada Solar Park on October 9, 2021 in Thirumani village, Karnataka, India. As the countdown to the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) at Glasgow begins, India is in a formidable position to lead climate change conversations as the country is on its way to meet its renewable energy target of 175GW by 2022, with solar power alone contributing to 100GW. In a clutch of villages around the Pavagada solar park in the southern state of Karnataka where nearly 13,000 acres of land has been acquired on lease for 28 years to produce 2050MW of electricity, economic inequity is becoming apparent — while farmers with large land holdings have clearly benefitted, poor farmers with no land have further been pushed to the margins with rising unemployment, lack of basic infrastructure, and a loss of their cultural identity.

                <media:description>SOUDA, GREECE - MARCH 23: The United Stated Navy aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford arrives in Souda Bay on March 23, 2026 in Souda, Greece. The USS Gerald R. Ford is undergoing repairs at Naval Support Activity Souda Bay on the Greek island of Crete, following a fire that reportedly broke out in a laundry room on the aircraft carrier earlier this month, injuring some sailors and causing significant damage. The vessel has also had issues with its toilet system. Since departing Norfolk, Virginia on June 24 last year, the Ford has been deployed to the Mediterranean, Caribbean, and most recently the Red Sea as part of U.S. operations against Iran, and is currently on course to become the longest deployed carrier since the Vietnam War.
