UK sends warship to Guyana amid Venezuela tensions
Sunday, 24 December 2023 Britain will deploy a Royal Navy warship to Guyana in solidarity with the Commonwealth nation - as the South American country argues with Venezuela over jungle territory containing huge amounts of oil and gas.
Guyanese President Irfaan Ali defended his country's approach to climate change amid plans for oil extraction. Ali asserted Guyana's significant forest cover, storing 19.5 gigatonnes of carbon. He challenged Shakur's questioning, accusing developed nations of hypocrisy and emphasizing the importance of preserving Guyana's forests. The exchange escalated, drawing attention to the complexities of climate policy and global responsibility.

According to protest organisers, hundreds of thousands of Argentines flooded the streets to express their outrage over cuts to higher public education under the newly elected President Javier Milei. Students, professors, parents, and alumni from the country's 57 state-run universities rallied together on Tuesday, uniting in defence of free public university education amidst the economic turmoil plaguing South America. Joined by labour unions, opposition parties, and private universities, the demonstrations spread from Buenos Aires to major cities like Cordoba, marking one of the largest protests against the austerity measures implemented since Milei assumed office in December. While police estimated around 100,000 participants in the capital alone, organisers claimed the number soared closer to half-a-million, effectively paralysing the city centre for hours.
