As hurricane Fiona reaches Canada, houses are swept into the water.

 After Storm Fiona Pummelled Canada's shore, power lines were destroyed and homes were washed into the water.


After being swept out to sea in Newfoundland, one woman is missing.


On Friday, Fiona's classification was changed from hurricane to tropical storm. In Canada, such meteorological occurrences are uncommon, and the storm was "like nothing we've ever seen," according to the police.


To aid in the cleanup effort, the military has traveled to Nova Scotia.


Massive flooding and gusts of up to 160 km/h (99 mph) occurred in portions of five provinces, and hundreds of thousands of people lost electricity.


The military will be sent to Nova Scotia, the prime minister declares, and he adds: "If there is anything the federal government can do to aid, we will."

order to deal with the storm's consequences, he declared that he would no longer go to Japan to attend the funeral of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

For the Atlantic provinces of Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland, and New Brunswick as well as for a portion of Quebec, tropical storm warnings have been issued.

According to local writer Rene Roy, some residences and business buildings in Port aux Basques, a town of 4,067 people on the southwest corner of Newfoundland, were washed out to sea as a result of severe floods. A state of emergency is in effect in the area.

Mr. Roy said, "This is without a doubt the most horrific thing I've ever witnessed in my life."

This coalition includes two far-right forces. While the rise of Meloni and the far right may ultimately prove to be a watershed moment in European politics, uniting Italy with Poland and Hungary in an anti-liberal bloc, it is challenging for leaders to maintain control in Rome, where zigzags are common and the average term of office is just 400 days. Given her concern over the rising cost of energy and the tensions within her own coalition, Meloni would face immediate challenges both at home and in Europ...

Australia told to compensate Torres Strait over failure to act on climate crisis, in landmark UN ruling

 The United Nations ruled in a landmark decision that Australia must pay compensation to the islands of the Torres Strait after violating their human rights by not acting swiftly enough to address the climate issue. The claimants claimed that rising sea levels had already harmed food sources and ancestral burial sites, dispersing human remains, and had put dwellings at risk of being submerged in the first-ever climate lawsuit filed by residents of low-lying islands against a nation-state. The Australian government's inability to sufficiently protect the Indigenous islanders from climate breakdown constituted a breach of their rights to family life and culture, the UN's human rights committee found on Friday, three years after the complaint was lodged. The lawsuit – by eight Australian nationals and six of their children inhabiting the islands of Boigu, Poruma, Warraber and Masig – alleged that former premier Scott Morrison’s government had violated their rights by failing to re...
