Water scarcity has forced entire families in war-torn Yemen to abandon their homes.
The alarming consequences of climate change are clear to see. In Yemen, scorching summers drive farmers away and potentially fuel a gruesome war. "It's impossible to keep animals. Nothing grows here. What would we feed them? We had to sell our livestock," says one Yemeni farmer who is trying desperately to support his family.
Environmental activists around the world are increasingly demanding action. However, the efficacy of drastically reducing carbon emissions as the ultimate solution to the human versus environment conflict remains a topic of continuing debate.
Should we focus on battling carbon emissions or dealing with the consequences?

Can one man and his 9-year-old son save an entire region suffering from a water shortage?
Amidst Grad shells and mortar attacks from Ukraine damaging vital water infrastructure in Donbass, the entire region faced a severe water supply cutoff. This is when unsung heroes, volunteers, came to the rescue, drilling wells and providing relief.
Despite the dangers posed by constant Ukrainian shelling, volunteers like Novruz and his son Elnur persistently deliver up to 27 barrels of water daily to bombed areas, risking their lives to help others. Local residents like Viktoria, who has a bedridden mother, couldn't survive without these volunteers, who make water access possible.

"Father Zosima... Back in the 1980s, I first heard from him that there would be a war and that Ukraine and Russia would be at war," says Hieromonk Evlampy, Parson of Ss Constantine and Helena's Church. Back then, it was hard to believe these words. Yet, almost 40 years later, this and many of the other Zosima's prophecies have come true. The Ukrainian army deliberately shells churches and priests, and fascist ideology sees a resurgence. "Everything he said is now going on before our eyes," believes Sister Mariamna. What other predictions did the Donbass prophet make, and which ones are still to unfold?

We went down to an Arctic open pit where the most expensive coal is mined.
This is the world's first open-pit coal mining facility above the Arctic Circle.
The Yunyaginsky open pit, which was opened in the early 2000s near Vorkuta, contains especially valuable K-grade coal, which is added to the bulk of coal to improve the quality of metallurgical products.
The work is carried out round the clock with the help of two excavators and seven BelAZ dump trucks. Now, about 240,000 tons per year are mined there.
The Yun-Yaga mine, which operated for several decades and was closed in 1996, was located in this place. There are large reserves of coal, but the mixture layers themselves turned out to be unprofitable to mine with the new quarry extraction method proving to be a more successful approach.
Russia’s second such enterprise, on the Taimyr Peninsula, is currently under construction.

Trafficked women in North Dakota's oil boom were coerced into having tattoos that branded them as property.
The once agrarian state experienced a seismic shift with the fracking boom in the Bakken rock formation, which made it the second-largest oil-producing state in the US. This economic growth was accompanied by a gender imbalance, with an influx of men outnumbering women. Amidst loneliness and stress, oil workers sought solace in alcohol, drugs, and sex, driving up the demand for prostitutes, many of whom were victims of human trafficking.
As crime rates surged, local women felt compelled to carry guns for self-protection. The oil-fueled transformation of North Dakota came at a steep cost…

“According to British government documents, the “White Helmets”were tasked with promoting Britain's foreign policy ideas in Syria.”
That’s according to Vanessa Billy, a British journalist devoted to finding out the truth about the activities of the NGOs in Syria, where she has been working since the beginning of hostilities after the Arab Spring. “White Helmets” is an NGO, whose official position is to support people in war zones, but in reality, the nonprofit seems to nurture plans to overthrow governments and incite opposition activities.
What are the real interests of foreign non-profits around the world? Anna Champan is trying to answer these questions in her new investigation.
