NASA calls Africa fire continent, is home to 70 percent of all the world's fires

Image
As the world has watched with fear and fascination the fires burning in Brazil’s Amazon rainforest, satellite images show a far greater number of blazes on the African continent. NASA has called Africa the “fire continent” that’s home to at least 70 percent of the 10,000 fires burning worldwide on an average August day, though the agency says the number of fires is consistent from year to year. While French President Emmanuel Macron has said he is considering launching an international campaign to help sub-Saharan African countries fight fires, experts say the situation there is different and not yet a growing problem — though it could become a threat in future.

Space Laws: What criminal law if any, applies to astronauts in outer space?

Image
NASA is reportedly investigating what could be the first-ever alleged crime in space. Astronaut Anne McClain has been accused of accessing her estranged spouse’s bank account via the internet while onboard the International Space Station (she denies the accusation). This gives rise to the question: what criminal law if any, applies in outer space?

The long answer is more complicated and set to become even more so with the advent of space tourism , space militarisation , and commercial activity . Human activity has increased in space, with at least 50 nations currently engaged in space activities. Space, like the high seas, is considered res communis – it belongs to everyone and to no one, nor can any country lay claim to it. But that doesn’t mean the high seas and outer space are free from national laws. International law allows countries...

Image
We recently heard Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes advocating that the social media giant should break up  after he stated that the company was  becoming "too powerful" . Apparently, he has been lobbying the US government to make it happen. Simultaneously, another tech giant co-founder is in favour of a split up and this time, Apple is the target. Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak recently said in an interview with  B loomberg  that he is in favour of the Cupertino giant's split and he wishes that it happened a long time ago. He said, "I am against monopoly powers being used in unfair, anti-trust matters, not opening up the world to equal competition, and using your power in unfair ways. And I think this has happened a lot in big tech and that they can get away with a lot of bad things". Steve Wozniak. And for that reason, he says, "I am pretty much in favour of looking into splitting up companies... I wish Apple on its own had split up a long time ago, ...
