Thousands of tourists arrived to see lava in recent weeks, but not all were prepared for treks up the Sicilian volcano
A river of fire from the depths of the Earth carves its way through the black rocks of a mountain blanketed white with snow. Above, the setting sun tints the clouds red. Fountains of lava that explode from a crater soar hundreds of metres into the air and Etna’s roar echoes across the Sicilian sky.
Its recent eruptions were a breathtaking spectacle, drawing thousands of tourists and unwary daytrippers – many there for a selfie. For some, the outcome was catastrophic.
Nothing I have done is more impactful than a day’s work in this battleground in the south, the graveyard of politicians’ abandoned promises
The tentacles of disinformation have already claimed its first young victim. This week, an unvaccinated child in Texas died of measles – an entirely preventable disease. Right now, the state is seeing its largest measles outbreak in more than 30 years. Yet at a White House briefing, secretary of health and human services, Robert F Kennedy Jr, falsely noted “it is not usual”, and did not offer any plans for containment.
I am a pediatrician in Texas, and I can assure you the situation is so abnormal that most younger physicians have never seen a case of measles, thanks to successful vaccination campaigns.
Seema Jilani is a pediatric physician based in Texas, a first-generation American, and a member of the Council of Foreign Relations

Barely known to each other before they were abducted by the brutal al-Shabaab militants, a friendship forged in adversity helped them and their children find safety
Ancha*, who was 20, had been kidnapped and held captive in a house in northern Mozambique for two months when 17-year-old Fatima* was brought there. What their captors did not know – even after the young women’s daring escape together – was that they were cousins.
Both had grown up around Mucojo, a small coastal town 130 miles (210km) south of the Tanzanian border, from where they had been abducted in separate raids in 2020 by Ahlu Sunnah Wa-Jamaa militants, an Islamic State-affiliated group known locally as al-Shabaab (though it has no links with the Islamist militants of the same name in Somalia).
While last year’s Academy Awards progressed with relative predictability, this year pundits are split and the four big categories are too close to call
The red carpet is being vacuumed, the manicurists are working overtime and, across Hollywood, an unprecedented number of acceptance speeches are getting a polish.
The four big categories at this year’s Oscars – best picture, director, actor and actress – are being deemed too close to call as the remarkable drama of this year’s award season reaches a peak.

Having won his third-consecutive majority government on Thursday night, Ontario Premier Doug Ford has successfully positioned himself, as a recent Guardian headline put it, as “Canada’s anti-Trump.” It’s a remarkable transformation considering that a mere seven years ago, the left was trying to brand Ford as a homegrown version of U.S. President Donald Trump.
