As a woman speaks into a microphone, a man holds a placard reading, ''The LGV doesn't reduce global warming, it puts on fire my rage.'' Several associations, such as 'Amis de la Terre' (i.e., 'Friends of Earth'), Stop-LGV 47, Stop-LGV 33, and LGV-No Thanks, call for a gathering in front of the main railway station of Toulouse, the Matabiau train station, just before a hearing at the Administrative Court of Toulouse to contest the legality of environmental authorizations for the planned high-speed train between Bordeaux and Toulouse. The CNPN (National Council for the Protection of Nature) says the SNCF file to build this high-speed railway is inadequate, false, and incomplete. The Environmental Authority also says there is no research on alternatives for the LGV, which is a legal duty. Moreover, the projected price tag is initially estimated at EUR10bn for 200 km, then EUR14bn (in 20214), and now, the costs are estimated to exceed EUR20bn. The EU will not provide any funding. However, there are already two train lines between Bordeaux and Toulouse. The works and the line will use more than 6,300 ha of good soils, of which 3,000 ha are forests and 370 ha are wetlands. This takes place in Toulouse, France, on December 15, 2025.

A displaced Palestinian woman washes dishes by hand outside a tent sheltering displaced Palestinians following heavy rainfall in Gaza City, Palestine, on December 10, 2025. Hamas says on December 9 that the Gaza ceasefire plan cannot proceed to its second phase as long as Israeli ''violations'' persist and calls on mediators to pressure Israel to respect the agreement. The US-sponsored ceasefire, in effect since October 10, halts the war that begins after Hamas's deadly attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. But it remains fragile as Israel and Hamas accuse each other almost daily of breaches.

A Nepali woman takes a selfie in front of the large-sized Newa: delicacy, Yo: Mari:, being paraded through the city center during the Yomari Punhi: and Jyapu Day celebration parade in Kathmandu, Nepal, on December 4, 2025. The steaming hot delicacy, shaped like a fig and filled with molasses and sesame seeds, is commonly called Yomari in the Newa community. It marks the start of the consumption of fresh-harvest rice from the full moon of Poush, the ninth month of the Nepali lunar calendar. The harvest festival, marked with fanfare by the Newa community of the Kathmandu Valley, gets its name from Yomari, the fresh-harvest rice sweetmeat. According to various beliefs, Suchandra and Krita, a married couple, first experimented with the fresh yield of rice from their field in present-day Panauti City in ancient times. The couple then distributed the new delicacy to the villagers, which was liked by all, and it was named Yomari, which in the Newa: language means ''tasty bread.'' It not only is tasty but also helps one to keep warm in winter and helps to increase blood and sperm.
