El Salvador was once regarded as one of the most dangerous, and violent countries on the planet, outside of places in actual hot war zones. But President Nayib Bukele has cleaned the place up, making it one of the safest places in south America, and safer than much of Europe.

The sky was still dark, just beginning to give way to soft strokes of gold and rose on the horizon. The birds hadn't quite started their songs yet. There was a holiness in the stillness, a hush that seemed to say: He is...

The air would change as spring approached—flowers blooming, birds singing, and our church bustling with preparations for the most important celebration on the Christian calendar.

In the 1950s, Brazil's attempt to crossbreed domestic bees with aggressive Africanised "killer bees" led to unintended consequences. These swarms escaped, spreading northward and crossing into the U.S. by 1990, defying efforts to stop them. While interbreeding has softened their sting, killer bees still claim lives annually. James Zumwalt draws a p...

China controls roughly ...

Sir Keir Starmer, Britain's Labour Prime Minister, finds himself in a bind. Across the Atlantic, the Trump administration is dangling a tantalising trade deal—one that could shield the UK from crippling tariffs and boost its sluggish economy.

This synthetic opioid is so powerful that just two milligrams—barely th...
