When snow covers the frozen ground, and most South Dakota farmers have sold or stored their products for the season, the operators of Cedar Creek Gardens are still able to grow vegetables and harvest a lucrative crop.Located in a remote area southwest of Murdo, about 12 miles south of Interstate 90, the sprawling farm is one of dozens in the state that utilize what are called farm tunnels to extend the planting and growing seasons.The tunnels are fortified above-ground hoop buildings covered in plastic that capture heat from the sun, creating a greenhouse effect. Many of the tunnels at Cedar…
Inter Miami defender Jordi Alba admits he changed his mind after signing a contract extension with the club through the 2027 Major League Soccer season, choosing instead to retire from football at the end of the current campaign.”It’s true that I renewed my contract in May, but the conversations were much earlier, and well, maybe it’s true that the time in May, now October, hasn’t been long, but it’s a decision I’ve been meditating on, that I’ve been making over time, and it’s been a while, well, three or four weeks since I communicated it to the team, to the…
Even though the U.S. has a stark shortage of air traffic controllers, ones who call in sick instead of working without a paycheck during the federal government shutdown risk being fired, the U.S. transportation secretary warned.Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said this week that he understands the controllers’ frustrations and worries. But during an appearance Thursday on Fox Business, he said that by calling in sick they are causing major disruptions to air traffic, and it won’t be tolerated.“If we have some of our staff that aren’t dedicated like we need, we’ll let them go,” Duffy said, noting that more than…
Middle East Eye has obtained a copy of the agreement signed by Israel, Hamas and the mediators in Egypt to end the genocide in Gaza. The document, which includes the signatures of several mediators, including US envoy Steve Witkoff, is titled the “Implementation Steps for President Trump’s proposal for a ‘Comprehensive End of Gaza War’.” It details six stages to the deal, beginning with US President Donald Trump’s announcement that the war in Gaza has ended and that “the parties have agreed to implement the necessary steps to that end.” The second step states that “the war will immediately end…
Last night I dreamed of my mother, Suzan. She was smiling at me and said: “Israel’s war on Gaza will end next week.” Even though the dream was about the waking nightmare of war, her presence in it was enough to bring my soul back to life. I had missed my late mother terribly. For weeks, I longed to see her – even for just a moment in a dream. I opened my eyes smiling, my heart full. I tried to force myself back to sleep, hoping to see her once more, but the deafening Israeli bombardment in my neighbourhood…
Last autumn, Israel launched a brutal and bloody war on Lebanon, with devastating consequences. After fighting broke out on 8 October 2023, and up until a cessation-of-hostilities agreement was signed on 27 November 2024, Israeli attacks killed more than 4,000 people, including more than 300 children, and injured nearly 17,000. Following Israel’s full-scale escalation in September 2024, more than one million people were displaced. Israel’s terror tactics ranged from the indiscriminate detonation of hand-held pagers in public spaces, to aerial carpet bombing of residential neighbourhoods, to wholesale assassinations of Hezbollah’s top political and military brass, to a ground invasion that…

In the two years since 7 October, 2023, the most chilling, most unsettling video I came across was not directly related to the horrors in Gaza; of starving children or severed limbs. It was a Guardian video report by Matthew Cassel shot in Tel Aviv in the summer and published last month. In it, Israelis are seen cavorting the sunny beaches, shopping at bustling markets, and socialising in trendy coffee shops. Cassel stumbles upon an anti-war demonstration only to realise that there’s scant mention of the Palestinians. “Listen, Europeans and Australians are idiots,” an elderly Israeli participant shouts. New MEE…
