Comment Since mid-June, torrential rain has transformed Pakistan’s landscape, inundating villages and fields, destroying homes and killing at least 1,000 people. But if the human toll is devastating, the economic cost is almost unimaginable: According to Pakistan’s finance minister, the damage so far is likely to exceed $10 billion, or a whopping 4 percent of the country’s annual gross domestic product. “Pakistan was already facing the devastating effects of climate change,” Sherry Rehman, Pakistan’s climate change minister, told a news conference on Thursday....

The Serbian capital of Belgrade hosts this year’s EuroPride, an annual LGBTQ celebration that culminates with a parade on September 17. But President Aleksandar Vucic surprised the community on Saturday when he announced on television that the parade would either be canceled or postponed, citing political unrest, economic pressure and threats from far-right extremists. “I think it was a big shock for all of us in the LGBT community in Serbia because we never heard that something like this could happen,” Goran Miletic, one of the Serbian organizers of the event, told As It Happens guest Katie Simpson ....

Pools are seen as extra real estate unless they are moveable or – in most cases – under 10 square metres in size. They must be declared within 90 days of construction to the local town hall before construction, leading to a one-off tax.

Auch der FPÖ-Präsidentschaftskandidat Walter Rosenkranz verzeichnete zuletzt deutliche Rückgänge in den Umfragen. Auf die Frage, wie Kickl mit dieser Situation umgehen wolle, antwortete er in der gestrigen ORF-Sommerrede mit frappierender Deutlichkeit: inhaltliche Extrempositionierung, Frontalangriffe aus fast allen Richtungen – und Kritik an den Medien....
