Gore is obviously not without ambition to set things right: he appears to want to save the entire planet single-handedly. “Without realizing it, we have begun to wage war on the earth itself,” he said in his Nobel acceptance speech. “It is time to make peace with the planet.” After receiving his prize, Gore flew onto Bali, where the U.S. government this week succeeded in single-handedly blocking a proposal that called on industrialized nations to cut greenhouse-gas emissions by 25 percent to 40 percent by 2020....

The core premise of Hitman 3’s upcoming Freelance Mode has already been revealed, as the feature is going to present the players with a new, organic way to enjoy the Hitman gameplay loop, but the specifics are rather cloudy still. Curiously, the new leaks posted by leaker scoobywizard may have revealed some exclusive rewards that could be coming with Freelance Mode or, perhaps, as part of the game’s general Year 2 content release schedule....

How dangerous could terrorist UAVs be? Some analysts doubt that the pilotless planes are a real threat. Ephraim Sneh, a retired Israeli general and a Labor Party member of Parliament, says a UAV’s relatively small payload gives only “limited” capacity to inflict damage–although it still packs significantly more explosive power than any of the unguided Katyusha rockets that pounded northern Israel until the fighting stopped. All three UAVs launched by Hizbullah during the 33-day war were shot down by Israeli jets before they could do any harm....

Holder’s side recorded a crushing 10-wicket victory in the second Test to wrap up the series, but the skipper has been punished for a slow over-rate in Antigua. The Windies were two overs short of their target, so Holder will play no part when they attempt to pull off a whitewash in St Lucia and the all-rounder has also been fined 40 per cent of his match fee. Holder’s team-mates were docked 20 per cent of their match fees by the ICC....

The Blues beat Manchester United 1-0 at Wembley in May thanks to an Eden Hazard penalty, in what proved to be Antonio Conte’s last game as head coach.

I remember traveling to Burma in 1992 on a rare journalist’s visa. It was then, as it is now, a tragic place. Burma was once a country so full of resources and promise that in the late 1950s the World Bank concluded that it would outpace Singapore, a mosquito-ridden backwater at the time. Things did not work out that way. In 1962 a junta took over led by the bizarre Ne Win, a half-mad general who governed by numerology; once he wiped out the savings of millions of Burmese when he decreed that the number nine was lucky and redenominated the kyat....
