READ MORE Since the start of the Syrian uprising in 2011, Iran’s military footprint in Syria has gradually increased. In the early days of the war, Tehran’s intervention was limited to sending military advisors to train Syrian forces. Today, it is recruiting and commanding a number of Shia militias which have become the dominant pro-regime forces on the ground. In the spring and summer of 2013, as opposition forces advanced across Syria, it was the Iranian military effort that saved the Assad regime.  The rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant ( ISIL , also known as ISIS) in 2014 allowed Tehran to legitimise its Syria involvement as a “war on terror” and increase its military presence. That year, the conventional military forces, the Artesh, joined the  Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps  (IRGC) and its Afghan and Pakistani Shia militias (the 14,000-strong Fatemiyoun Division and the 5,000-strong Zeynabiyoun Brigade, respectively) and...

READ MORE According to the World Wide Fund for Nature, we are losing 130,000 square km of forest cover every day. Another  study  by the Center for Global Development shows that if the  loss of vegetation continues unabated at this rate, forests covering an area nearly the size of India will be destroyed by 2050.  This rapid loss of natural forest across the world is increasingly concerning. Forest goods and services, once thought to be abundant, are now a scarce resource. This affects not only half the world’s land-based species of plants and animals, but also more than a billion people that are dependent on forests for livelihood. The situation in India is no different.  India has been trying to achieve its target of keeping  33 percent of its geographical area under forest cover for decades, but the 2017 State of Forest  report shows that it is still struggling to get above 22 percent. India has seen rapid deforestation in r...

READ MORE Manifestations pour les uns, projection de film pour les autres, le 1er Mai syndical sera à nouveau organisé en ordre dispersé, avec un risque de débordement par des groupes extrémistes dans le défilé parisien. Traditionnellement, la journée internationale des travailleurs n’est pas l’occasion de faire bloc pour les syndicats, à quelques exceptions près, comme le 1er mai 2002. Ce jour-là, 1,3 million de personnes avaient manifesté (selon le ministère de l’Intérieur) à l’appel de la CGT, de la CFDT, de FO, la FSU et de l’Unsa pour “faire barrage” à Jean-Marie Le Pen. L’an passé, les syndicats n’ont pas réussi à s’entendre sur une position commune face à la présence de Marine Le Pen au second tour de l’élection présidentielle. Cette année ne fait pas exception en terme de division des centrales s...

Weinstein a annihilé ses chances d’apparaître dans la trilogie fantastique de Peter Jackson “Le seigneur des anneaux”, l’une des plus lucratives de l’histoire du cinéma, en affirmant au réalisateur et à sa co-productrice que travailler avec la comédienne était “un cauchemar”. “Avec ces attaques sans fondement, Wei...

READ MORE An Environment Canada analysis says the federal government’s carbon pricing plan could eliminate up to 90 million tonnes of carbon dioxide by 2022. That’s roughly equivalent to taking more than 20 million cars off the road, and accounts for about 12 per cent of the total amount of what Canada emitted in 2016. The report marks the first time Ottawa has provided a specific estimate of the impact of its $50-per-tonne carbon price, despite months of demands from the Conservatives that it show what the measure would do to lower emissions. Using models of what carbon pricing does to human behaviour and economic growth, the analysis also projects economic growth of about two per cent a year, with or without carbon pricing. All provinces but Saskatchewan are signatories to the Pan Canadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change, which requires them to have a minimum $20-per-tonne price on carbon by the start of next year, increasing to $50 by 2022. Canada also plans...

READ MORE With just hours remaining before Canada’s exemption from new U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum was set to expire, the United States postponed its decision on whether to impose the tariffs until June 1. U.S. President Donald Trump ordered sweeping tariffs in March of 25 per cent on steel imports and 10 per cent on aluminum, but granted temporary exemptions to certain countries. In the case of Canada and Mexico, Trump’s administration tied both countries’ tariff exemptions to the successful renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement. Canada’s exemption period was officially set to end at midnight April 30. But late Monday, Trump decided to give Canada, Mexico and the European Union another month to work out a deal with the Americans. The Trump administration issued a statement saying it had come to a final agreement with South Korea on steel imports and had reached agreements in principle on steel and alu...
