Kang Heung-soon, secretary general of the Yeosu Federation for Environmental Movements, looks through binoculars near Yeojado Island in Yeosu, South Korea, on May 29, 2026. Yeojado, located at the heart of Yeojaman Bay, is considered a key site in the proposed second-phase expansion of the UNESCO World Heritage property “Getbol, Korean Tidal Flats.” The expansion aims to integrate tidal flats in Yeosu and Goheung with existing World Heritage areas in Boseong and Suncheon, enhancing the ecological completeness of the property and extending its Outstanding Universal Value across the southwestern coast.

13 Apr 2026

Members of the Syndicat de la Magistrature and lawyers from SAF and UJA gather outside the Courthouse of Toulouse, France, on April 13, 2026, as part of a nationwide strike and demonstration. The protest is in response to a proposed law by French Justice Minister Gerald Darmanin, which is being voted on in the French Senate. The law aims to bypass the jury system and introduce a 'plead guilty' option for nearly all crimes, including serious offenses such as rape and murder. This would reduce the role of victims, witnesses, and experts in court proceedings, as hearings would be eliminated unless the accused rejects the prosecutor's proposal. Magistrates and lawyers express concerns over the impact on their roles and the justice system, citing a shortage of court clerks in Toulouse as an example of existing challenges. This marks the first joint strike by the two magistracy unions, SM and USM, in years.

13 Mar 2026

Swayambhunath temple appears faintly in the distance as thick smog blankets the Kathmandu Valley in Kathmandu, Nepal, on March 13, 2026. The capital experiences severe air pollution, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) ranging between 200 and 250, placing it in the ''very unhealthy'' category and ranking Kathmandu among the world's most polluted cities, according to the air quality monitoring platform IQAir's AirVisual. Fine particulate matter (PM2.5), the most dangerous airborne pollutant because it can penetrate deep into the lungs and bloodstream, is recorded at 129.9 micrograms per cubic meter--more than 25 times higher than the World Health Organization's recommended safe limit of 5 ug/m3--while PM10 levels stand at 100.3 ug/m3. Under Nepal's government-approved AQI scale, readings above 200 indicate very unhealthy conditions. The Ministry of Health and Population urges residents to take precautions, warning that prolonged exposure to polluted air can damage the heart, blood vessels, lungs, eyes, and kidneys, and may contribute to illnesses including asthma, chronic bronchitis, cardiovascular disease, stroke, lung cancer, and other respiratory infections. Research shows that sustained exposure to high levels of particulate pollution significantly increases the risk of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, particularly among children, the elderly, and people with pre-existing health conditions.

An enormous Palestinian flag flowering a protest against air strikes in Iran, in Washington, D.C., U.S., on February 28, 2026. Minutes later, a pro-democracy demonstration against U.S. President Donald Trump arrived to double the size of the existing crowd. Demonstrators cited a number of reasons for their opposition to Trump, including his involvement with sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, ICE raids, authoritarian policies, and today's bombing of Iran, among numerous other reasons.

13 Feb 2026

A pro-monarchy supporter holds the national flag of Nepal during a gathering to welcome deposed King Gyanendra Bir Bikram Shah and his entourage to the Southern plains of Nepal on February 13, 2026. Hundreds of pro-monarchists converge into the streets of Kathmandu to welcome former King Gyanendra Shah as a show of power ahead of the parliamentary elections. The former King is welcomed by supporters from the right-wing Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) and pro-monarchy organizations who chant slogans against the existing political system. Former King Gyanendra Bir Bikram Shah returns to Kathmandu from Jhapa in a helicopter. He starts his tour of Madhesh from Janakpur. As the vehicle hosting the former King rolls out of the airport entrance, supporters chant slogans such as ''Raja aau desh bachau'' (Come back King, save the nation) and ''Nepali Janata k bhancha? Rajtantra ley vancha'' (What do the Nepali public say? Reinstate the monarchy). Nepal abolishes the centuries-old constitutional monarchy in 2006 after then King Gyanendra seizes power and imposes an emergency, sending all the leaders under house arrest. The movement, also referred to as ''People's Movement II,'' witnesses bloodshed with dozens killed in a crackdown against protestors by the government. After weeks of violent protest and increasing international pressure, Gyanendra gives up and reinstates the dissolved parliament, marking the dawn of new democracy, highlighted as Loktantra (People's Rule). Nepal's periodic election, which is not due until 2027, is called early after the Gen-Z revolution of 2025 following the dissolution of the parliament. The September 8 and 9 revolt deposes then Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli. A total of 76 people die in the crackdown by the security forces. The two-day protest, commonly referred to as the ''Gen-Z uprising,'' is against corruption and the social media ban and now changes the course of Nepali politics.
