- Liverpool Lost Its U.N. World Heritage Status. Now It’s Thriving.
In 2021, Liverpool made global headlines when the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) revoked its World Heritage status, citing new development along the waterfront as causing the "serious deterioration and irreversible loss" of the area's historic value. Losing UNESCO's designation, though, only fueled the city's commitment to preserving its heritage while embracing growth. The Royal Albert Dock is one of Liverpool's most iconic landmarks. When it first opened in 1846, it revolutionized global trade with its innovative design. Constructed entirely from cast iron, stone, and brick, the dock became the world's first noncombustible warehouse system. It was equipped with the world's first hydraulic cranes, halving the time to load and unload ships. The dock quickly dominated world trade, handling valuable cargo such as cotton, silk, brandy, and tobacco. But just 50 years later, advances in shipping technology rendered the docks obsolete. After serving as a… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.16 hours ago - Top political gaffes of 2024
The presidential election generated numerous high-profile political gaffes this year, including President Biden’s widely-panned debate performance and him calling Trump supporters "garbage" in the closing days of Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign. Here are six of the biggest political gaffes of 2024: A disastrous performance by President Biden during his debate with former President Trump on June 27 appeared to be the beginning of the end for Biden's 2024 re-election campaign. He struggled with a raspy voice and delivered rambling answers during the debate in Atlanta, sparking doubts about his viability at the top of the Democratic Party’s presidential ticket. KARINE JEAN-PIERRE'S MOST MEMORABLE MOMENTS OF 2024 Biden’s campaign blamed the hoarse voice on a cold and the 81-year-old admitted a week later that he "screwed up" and "had a bad night," yet that didn’t stop a chorus of Democrats from making calls for him to drop out of the race.

- 2024 Set the Stage for Clean Energy on Public Lands
This story was originally published by High Country News and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. In 2021, President Joe Biden signed an executive order on the climate crisis that, among other things, directed the secretary of the Interior to review the potential for clean energy on public lands. Later that year, he set aggressive national targets on green energy: 80% renewable energy generation by 2030 and 100% carbon-free electricity by 2035. Then came the passage of the historic Inflation Reduction Act, which showered the clean energy industry with federal incentives and encouraged private investors to cash in on its explosive growth. Since Biden’s inauguration, his administration has approved a steady stream of solar, geothermal, and transmission projects across the West. In April, the Interior Department announced that it had permitted more than 29 gigawatts of renewable energy on public lands—an amount nearly equivalent to the total capacity of Washington… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.16 hours ago - White House says 9th telecoms company has been hacked as part of Chinese espionage campaignThe White House said Friday that a ninth U.S. telecommunications company has been hacked as part of a Chinese espionage campaign that gave the country's officials access to private texts and phone conversations of Americans.The Biden administration said earlier this month that at least eight telecommunications companies and dozens of nations had been impacted by the Chinese hacking operation known as Salt Typhoon.On Friday, deputy national security adviser Anne Neuberger told reporters that a ninth victim had been identified after the administration released guidance to companies about how to locate Chinese hackers in their networks.The hackers compromised the networks of telecommunications companies to gather customer call records and access the private communications of a limited number of people, officials said.CHINA WARNS US TO STOP ARMING TAIWAN AFTER BIDEN APPROVES $571M IN MILITARY AIDThe FBI has not publicly identified any of the victims, but officials believe senior U.S. government officials and… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.16 hours ago
