A snowy, rainy storm is hitting California. Will it curb the coming fire risk?

Each year, about 400,000 international students are granted study visas to the UK. A significant proportion do so with the help of education agents: middlemen paid by universities to find foreign students. In 2023, UK universities spent a total of £500m on education agents - but there is very little oversight of how these agents operate.

„As the state imposed a sweeping information blackout and advanced claims blaming foreign agents for the violence, this brutality has nonetheless been met with a striking absence of sustained outrage in spaces that otherwise position themselves as opponents of state violence. Among Western progressives, the response has largely been silence.“

Experts warned that even as the heat begins to subside, the stunning pace of melt-off over the past month has left key basins in uncharted territory for the dry seasons ahead.
Though there’s still potential for more snow in the forecast, experts said it wi…
