With less than a week to go before the UK's general election, the opposition Labour Party appears on course for a resounding victory. But unlike with the last election in 2019, one word has been almost absent from the campaign trail: Brexit.

"In the absence of laws, it is up to us to act," said Nascimento, who is trying to regenerate his land by planting mandacaru, an emblematic cactus from the region that grows up to six meters tall. The Caatinga stretches across ten northeastern states, a unique area boasting a tapestry of thorny shrubs, twisty trees and succulents adapted to its semi-arid conditions. Its plight attracts little interest compared to the lush Amazon, but the vegetation of this dry forest plays a key role in absorbing carbon emissions and is rapidly disappearing. Читать дальше...

The four-time Olympic gold medallist thrilled the Target Center crowd with her signature Yurchenko double pike vault, now also known as the Biles II.

That left the 29-year-old from Wolverhampton level with Bhatia, who shot 67 to put him on 131 without a bogey this week. "Felt like I drove it pretty well," Rai said. "Hit a lot of good approach shots. Felt like I hit a lot of greens. I gave myself a lot of looks and nice to finish off that way on 17 and 18." Rai, who had five-foot birdie putts at the third and par-3 11th holes... Читать дальше...

"The team has always proven to be up to the task before when he wasn't there," said Samuel, hinting that veteran Angel Di Maria may start in place of Messi. Читать дальше...
