Tennis legend Martina Navratilova fired back at President Donald Trump after he declared, “You have to respect the president. If you don’t respect the president, you’re going to have a problem.” Navratilova responded with a pointed rebuke, writing simply: “Respect is earned, not given.”

France has reported around 1,000 deaths due to the heatwave.

Spain has reported 327 heat-related deaths.

Italy has reported 5, and Germany has reported 7.

This is no longer just a climate crisis. This is a humanitarian crisis.

Europe is the fastest-warming continent on Earth, heating at twice the global average. Right now 150 million people are living under extreme heat, hundreds have died, schools are shut, grids are buckling.

Driven by climate change and global warming, the phenomenon of the “once-in-a-generation” heatwave is now occurring nearly annual. We were warned.

More than 1300 excess deaths have been recorded since 21 June linked to high temperatures in Europe.

Heat stress is often called the “silent killer” – and European homes, workplaces and schools were not built for these temperatures.

@WHO is working with its Member States and partners to address the health threats posed by extreme heat through focusing on preparedness, prevention and stronger health system responses.

In particular, we are encouraging European countries to implement heat health action plans, as part of the broader agenda to protect health against climate change.

A small Canadian town has officially granted trees the status of living beings with legal rights.

Terrasse-Vaudreuil, located roughly 40 miles (64 km) west of Montreal, unanimously passed a resolution on June 9 declaring that trees possess “the right to life, natural growth, integrity, and regeneration.” The town is among the first in Canada to endorse the Universal Declaration of the Rights of the Tree.

Mayor Michel Bourdeau credited the initiative in part to filmmaker André Desrocher, whose work helped shift local perspectives on trees from mere scenery to vital living entities. “A tree is like a human being,” Bourdeau told CBC. “It breathes, it lives, it takes in water. It protects us from all sorts of things.”

Facing repeated flooding in recent years, the municipality views trees as critical infrastructure. They cool urban areas, sequester carbon, purify air, support biodiversity, mitigate heat islands, and assist with stormwater management.

The resolution calls for a review of local bylaws to strengthen tree protection and ensure proper replacement when removals occur.

This step reflects the expanding global “rights of nature” movement, which seeks legal personhood for ecosystems, much like corporations already enjoy. A notable precedent in Quebec is the 2021 granting of legal personhood to the Magpie River by a regional government and the Innu Council of Ekuanitshit.

Advocates believe such recognition could reshape development decisions, enhance climate resilience, and transform urban planning. In Terrasse-Vaudreuil, the message is clear: trees are not simply property, they are living systems essential to human communities.

Tapper: "I just looked at the State Department's website. They have a Level 4 'Do Not Travel' advisory for Haiti…That doesn't sound safe to me."

Mullin: "That advisory is to American citizens traveling to Haiti, not Haitians going back home."

Tapper: "It doesn't sound safe."

Men have to be able to face what the men around them are doing to women rather than shout “not all men” - because that does nothing to stop “some of the men”.

The 14 men accused of raping one woman at her husband’s invitation. Lots of different kinds of men. Just like the men you will walk past today.
