BELEM, Brazil — A fire briefly spread through pavilions being used for U.N. climate talks in Brazil and prompted evacuations Thursday on the next-to-last day of the conference, and officials said 13 people were treated for smoke inhalation.

Organizers said the fire was controlled in about six minutes. Fire officials ordered the evacuation of the entire site for the conference, known as COP30, and the venue remained closed for about seven hours following the fire.

Attendees trickled back into the COP30 venue after it reopened. Some posed for pictures in the nighttime glow of the signage at the entrance. Others returned to rooms further from the pavilions to resume negotiations or to retrieve belongings that had been left behind. Security staff were stationed behind metal barricades to keep people out of the pavilions and a curtain veiled off the area that the blaze had destroyed.

NASA warns of a growing South Atlantic Anomaly weakening Earth’s magnetic shield |– timesofindia.indiatimes.com

Earth’s magnetic field acts like a protective cocoon, shielding the planet from harmful charged particles racing in from the Sun and deep space. But over the South Atlantic, that shield has developed an unusually weak patch known as the South Atlantic Anomaly. Recent observations show that this anomaly is not only expanding but also shifting, raising concerns for satellites, spacecraft and scientific instruments that pass through the region. While everyday life on the ground remains unaffected, the anomaly’s rapid evolution is prompting NASA researchers to issue stronger warnings and step up monitoring.

Canada’s spiraling euthanasia system is once again under fire as heartbreaking new accounts reveal that a surging number of patients are being forced into “choosing” the government’s “assisted suicide” death program after being denied actual medical care under the nation’s collapsing socialized healthcare model.

An alarming number of Canadians are reporting that they have no other choice but to agree to be euthanized by the government, despite the supposed availability of treatments for their conditions.

As Slay News has previously reported, the government’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program is now saving tens of millions of dollars a year.

In 2024, the government saved over $136 million by euthanizing patients instead of treating them.

The Trump administration had partnered with Russia to develop a peace proposal to end the war in Ukraine, according to a new report.

The 28-point plan is modeled after the plan developed that brought a ceasefire to Gaza, according to Axios.

Axios reported that a top Russian official who was not named supports the plan, but the reaction of Ukraine and its European allies remains unknown.

The report said the general areas of the plan include security guarantees, the issue of security in Europe, future American-Russian relations, and an end to the fighting in Ukraine.

The United Nations adopted the United States’s proposal on Monday to begin implementing the next phase of President Donald Trump’s peace plan for Gaza.

Trump’s 20-point plan to achieve lasting stability in the region, which had been beset by hostilities between Hamas and Israel, gained international legitimacy after the 15-member council voted 13-0 in favor of a resolution endorsing the plan’s proposal for a temporary new government in Gaza.

Russia and China abstained from the vote, which supported the establishment of the “Board of Peace,” chaired by Trump as a transitional government, and the creation of a temporary “International Stabilization Force” in Gaza.

Zelensky Caught In New ‘Golden Toilet’ Scandal– trendingpoliticsnews.com

Volodymyr Zelensky is facing a political firestorm as calls grow for him to dump his powerful chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, in a corruption scandal that now includes a golden toilet.

Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau says roughly £76 million was siphoned out of the country’s energy sector by business leaders and government officials. Yermak, Zelensky’s closest aide, is accused of choking off anti-corruption probes, though investigators have not accused him of taking a cut of the scheme himself.

Unnamed officials warned local media that Zelensky’s entire government could collapse if he refuses to remove Yermak, saying, “Our enemies smell blood.”

The allegations hit a nerve in a country where families endure constant rolling blackouts because of Russia’s attacks on energy infrastructure.

Hungary will challenge the European Union’s plan to end Russian energy imports and take the case to an EU court, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said Friday.

Speaking on state radio, Orbán accused the bloc of trying to sidestep his veto power over sanctions on Russian energy by instead using trade rules in its plan to phase out all imports of Russian oil and gas by the end of 2027.

“We are turning to the European Court of Justice in this matter,” Orbán said.

“This is a flagrant violation of European law, the rule of law and European cooperation … They will pay a very high price for this.”

US could lose its measles elimination status within months, experts say– www.livescience.com

The United States may lose its measles elimination status as soon as January, marking the sustained resurgence of a disease that had been eliminated from the country 25 years ago.

On Nov. 10, Canada lost its measles elimination status, after the Pan American Health Organization concluded that the country’s recent measles outbreaks were connected and represented ongoing transmission lasting more than 12 months. Measles is considered eliminated in a country or region only when there are no outbreaks lasting longer than a year. Thus, to maintain “elimination status,” any introductions of the disease from travel must be quashed before 12 consecutive months of spread.

A massive volley of Russian missiles and drones killed at least 25 people — including two children — across Ukraine overnight in one of the biggest aerial attacks since Moscow launched its full-scale war in February 2022.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia launched 476 drones and 48 cruise and ballistic missiles at his country. Ukraine’s military said six or seven missiles and nearly three dozen drones made it past Ukraine’s air defenses.

Explosions and fires were reported close to the front lines around the eastern city of Kharkiv, but also far from the front, in the western city of Lviv, which is close to Ukraine’s border with NATO-member Poland.

Most of the deaths were in the western city of Ternopil, where the Interior Ministry said two high-rise apartment blocks and energy facilities were hit. Many of Ukraine’s regions reported some loss of power, as temperatures plunge and the need for heat becomes a matter of life and death.

At 9:00 PM on Wednesday, November 12, legislators in South Australia voted against banning abortion after the child in the womb reaches 22 weeks and six days gestation, the point at which babies can routinely survive outside the womb. The youngest preemie to survive is Nash Keen, who was born at 21 weeks in Iowa on June 4, 2025.

ABC News reported that hundreds of pro-lifers gathered outside Parliament House Wednesday night to support the bill; an opposing rally hosted by abortion activists the previous week had attracted only “dozens of attendees.”

Eleven members voted of the state Parliament’s Upper House voted against the bill, and eight members voted for it. The bill had been put forward by Upper House MLC Sarah Game in September. Game is an independent MP formerly a member of the One Nation party.

“A lot of healthy babies are being denied a choice at life,” Game told the Legislative Council. She also warned her colleagues that late-term abortions were not a “rare event.”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is under heavy domestic and international pressure to fire his right-hand man, head of the Ukrainian president’s office, Andriy Yermak, after a massive corruption scandal.

Zelensky’s government is embroiled in one of its worst domestic crises since the Russian invasion in February 2022, following accusations by Ukraine’s anti-corruption agencies, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office, that Timur Mindich, a close ally of Zelensky, is involved in large-scale corruption. Mindich and his associates were accused of siphoning $100 million in revenue from Energoatom, the state nuclear energy company. The affair, now dubbed “Mindichgate,” is threatening a man so powerful that analysts have drawn historical parallels with Cardinal Richelieu, a figure from the French King Louis XIII’s era.

The term “smart city” fails to fully capture the integrated data system that is the Pudong New Area of Shanghai.  Chinese authorities call it the “city brain,” a centrally controlled A.I. center that surveils and manages the city and its inhabitants.  It offers a disturbing preview of future urban governance, built on a previously unimaginable level of monitoring and control.  Since 2017, this system has linked hundreds of government databases to tens of thousands of sensors, effectively turning an entire urban district into a single, real-time data object.

Officials defend the surveillance for its tangible rewards: cleaner neighborhoods, faster emergency response, smoother traffic, and better protection for isolated seniors.  Those benefits help explain why many citizens accept the system.  But the costs are equally real.  It normalizes penetrating, constant visibility, the steady expansion of behavior-based penalties, and an infrastructure that is also used for political and social control.
