Starbucks serves South Koreans coffee and glimpse into the North

November 30, 202481 Views

The world's last Cold War frontier now has a Starbucks cafe in South Korea where customers can get a glimpse through the heavily militarised border into the North, all while sipping a latte. Hundreds showed up on Friday for the opening of the U.S. coffeehouse chain's newest store in an observatory near the city of Gimpo, around 50 km (31 miles) northwest of Seoul and close to the Demilitarized Zone separating the two Koreas.

French President Emmanuel Macron praised on Friday the more than 1,000 craftspeople who helped rebuild Paris' Notre-Dame Cathedral in what he called "the project of the century", five-and-a-half years after fire gutted the Gothic masterpiece. The 12th-century cathedral, one of the French capital's most beloved and visited monuments, will reopen its doors next week to tourists and to the Catholic faithful. "Never before have we seen such a construction site. You all had your share in the project of the century," Macron told a gathering that included carpenters, stonemasons, art restorers, firefighters and donors.

Currywurst, spa culture and biking in Berlin

November 26, 2024112 Views

Since I first moved here, Berlin has evolved from “poor but sexy”, as former Mayor Klaus Wowereit dubbed it in 2003, to an increasingly assertive - and pricey - capital city. It still has the edgy club scene it has long been known for, but slick developments have been built over former squats, and rents have soared as Germany’s capital has attracted investors. That includes both big companies like Tesla - the U.S. electric vehicle maker’s first manufacturing plant in Europe opened here in 2022 - and enough startups for some to refer to it as Europe’s Silicon Valley. As a Brit who studied German at university, I first worked for Reuters in Berlin as an intern in 2005, when Angela Merkel was campaigning to become chancellor. I went on to become an economics reporter during the years o...

Papuan women’s mangrove forest under threat

Shrinking space; traditions and health at risk due to development and pollution On the southeastern coast of the city of Jayapura, Petronela Merauje walked from house to house in her floating village inviting women to join her the next morning in the surrounding mangrove forests. Merauje and the women of her village, Enggros, practice the tradition of Tonotwiyat, which literally means “working in the forest.” For six generations, women from the 700-strong Papuan population there have worked among the mangroves collecting clams, fishing and gathering firewood. “The customs and culture of Papuans, especially those of us in Enggros village, is that women are not given space and place to speak in traditional meetings, so the tribal elders provide the mangrove forest as our land,” Mer...

Pterosaurs were cousins of the dinosaurs Newly identified species is named Skiphosoura bavarica It fills a gap in understanding of pterosaur evolution Aloft over the landscape of Bavaria some 147 million years ago was a pterosaur - an ancient flying reptile - with a wing span of about 7 feet (2 meters), a bony crest on front of its snout and a mouthful of sharp teeth, searching for a lizard or another nice morsel to eat. Scientists have unearthed a well-preserved fossil skeleton of this newly identified species, named Skiphosoura bavarica, in a discovery that fills a major gap in the understanding of the evolution of pterosaurs - creatures that were important components of ecosystems during the age of dinosaurs. Skiphosoura lived toward the end of the Jurassic Period. I...
