Photographers Mathias Braschler and Monika Fischer capture the families, farmers and fishers who have been forced to leave their homes by extreme weather – and the landscapes they left behind. Introduction by Dina Nayeri

In 2009, Swiss photographers Mathias Braschler and Monika Fischer set out to document the people suffering the first shocks of the climate crisis. They had just returned from China, where rapid, unregulated development has ravaged the natural landscapes. Back home, though, the debate still felt strangely theoretical. “In 2009, you still had people who denied climate change,” Braschler recalls. “People said, ‘This is media hype.’” So the couple, working with the Global Humanitarian Forum in Geneva and supported by Kofi Annan, began The Human Face of Climate Change, a portrait series that showed the people on the frontline of a warming world.

Sixteen years later, climate change is no longer up for debate; the urgent discussions now revolve around solutions. Braschler and Fischer, too, have shifted their focus. “This is going to be one of the central issues for humanity,” says Braschler, “and we want to make sure that people know that the major effect of climate change will be displacement.”

Venues promoting destruction as stress relief are appearing around the UK but experts – and our correspondent – are unsure

If you find it hard to count to 10 when anger bubbles up, a new trend offers a more hands-on approach. Rage rooms are cropping up across the UK, allowing punters to smash seven bells out of old TVs, plates and furniture.

Such pay-to-destroy ventures are thought to have originated in Japan in 2008, but have since gone global. In the UK alone venues can be found in locations from Birmingham to Brighton, with many promoting destruction as a stress-relieving experience.

US descendants of Harris Neck’s Gullah Geechee families seek the return of ancestral land seized for a wartime airfield

A once thriving Black community along the Georgia coast called Harris Neck is now covered with greenery. During its heyday in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the area boasted a school house, general store, firehouse and seafood processing plants, and supported 75 Black households on 2,687 acres. The inhabitants were Gullah Geechee people, the descendants of formerly enslaved west Africans, who remained on the Sea Islands along the south-east US where they retained their distinct creole language and culture following the civil war.

In 1942, though, the community was leveled to the ground when the federal government kicked the families off of the land using eminent domain to build an army airfield. For nearly 50 years, the descendants of the Harris Neck community have fought to regain their ancestral land through peaceful protests and lobbying local and federal governments to no avail.

In 2025, cookbooks revelled in the joy of gathering. Of celebrating heritage, togetherness — and vegetables. Some dug deep into single subjects, breaking ground in first-of-their-kind collections and making something new out of something old. Others reminded us not to forget where we came from and who we've lost. Here are 10 of the year's best. Read More

From the Yankees blowing the ALCS, to a Giants boat party and a Jets butt fumble with plenty of Mets in between ... here is our list of the top 25 debacles in New York sports this century.

It’s Big Ten football, and this is “The Game,” which can only mean a trench war where every yard is earned and every mistake is magnified.  No. 1 Ohio State top-ranked defense per SP+ combined with a disciplined offense has made for methodical, mistake-free football that has suffocated opponents in every high-leverage situation.  The defending...

An Illinois man was arrested after he allegedly intentionally set his family's home on fire following a heated argument on Thanksgiving, according to police.

Despite the fervour of social media it is rare to see a federal politician in handcuffs and under arrest, so an old photo of Steven Guilbeault, who until Thursday was a member of cabinet, always piques curiosity, perhaps now even more because the circumstances of his resignation and of his 2001 arrest intertwine.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford is absolutely right in emphasizing the importance for his province and for Canada of the Ring of Fire mining region approximately 500 kilometres northeast of Thunder Bay. It is now generally recognized throughout the western world that we have been imprudent in allowing ourselves to become excessively dependent on China as a source of strategic minerals. This not only creates a vulnerability of supply in the not unlikely case of substantial strategic disagreements with the government of that country, but also in many areas enables China to manipulate the current price of these minerals by increasing or decreasing production in a way that can make private-sector development of alternate sources commercially inadvisable.

Tooth was delighted to capture one of Antony Gormley’s statues on Crosby beach – the dog was an unexpected bonus

Twenty years ago, 100 cast-iron, lifesize sculptures were erected across Liverpool’s Crosby beach. Sculptor Antony Gormley – also the man behind Gateshead’s Angel of the North – had created the figures several years previously, and London-based Roger Tooth had for years wanted to visit the Another Place installation and see them for himself. “I was in Liverpool with my wife and friends for a weekend away, and Sunday was an arty day,” Tooth says. “We began at Walker Art Gallery, and ended with a Guinness in the Philharmonic Dining Rooms. In between we headed the two miles outside the city to the statues. Seeing the rusting figures, all facing the sea amid the moving sands, was stunning.”

This was October 2025 and Storm Amy was in full effect. Tooth notes that it was blowing the sand around, and possibly also this dog. “I was taking a closeup of one of the sculptures when, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a small white dog bounding towards me,” he says. “I was amazed that an iPhone (and I) could freeze the dog in mid-air.”

The conflict is neither a clear-cut defeat nor a feel-good victory, but an in-between outcome that contains profound elements of each

No one should be satisfied with the unjust peace that Ukraine may be forced to accept. The aggressor would be rewarded with territory and other concessions from the victim it has brutalized. Yet the horrified reaction in Washington to recent peace proposals is troubling in its own right.

The Trump administration’s recent 28-point plan, roundly denounced in Congress and the commentariat as a “capitulation” to Moscow, actually offered Kyiv a remarkable strategic outcome. Under its terms, Ukraine would face no meaningful limit on its peacetime military, despite Russian attempts to impose draconian restrictions since 2022. (The only requirement, a cap of 600,000 personnel, probably exceeds the number of active-duty forces Ukraine would maintain anyway.) Moreover, Ukraine would receive a substantial security guarantee from the United States and Europe – the strongest in history, even if short of a Nato-style commitment.

A devious effort is underway in this country to normalize the idea of a “Palestinian state” and delegitimize the State of Israel. In recent weeks, we saw Palestine's terror flag raised outside city halls across Canada, including in Toronto. These moves are deeply troubling as they are eroding our democratic institutions by aligning them with a death-cult ideology inspired by terrorist groups like Hamas. Read More

Biden earmarked billions for former coal communities in Appalachia – and his successor came and took it away

For a moment, Jacob Hannah saw an unprecedented opportunity to make Appalachia great again.

In 2022, the Biden administration earmarked billions of dollars to help revitalize and strengthen former coal communities. The objective was to lay down building blocks for the region to transition from extractive industries like coal and timber to a hub for solar and other advanced energy technologies, with a view to long-term economic, climate and social resilience.

Had the Great Smith-Carney Pipelines and Climate Pact of 2025 emerged say, five years ago, it would have been considered squarely within the realm of Liberal environmentalism. Instead, because former prime minister Justin Trudeau brought in several anti-business policies, the current prime minister is being feted/scorned as being pro-energy industry by disappointed Liberals and relieved conservatives alike. While Mark Carney deserves credit for negotiating this deal with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, and bringing a rival onside, we're skeptical at the chances a pipeline ever gets built. Read More
