Christopher Stokes, from MSF, said the organization cannot scientifically confirm the use of chemical weapons Medecins Sans Frontieres says hospitals it supports in Syria treated about 3,600 patients with "neurotoxic symptoms", of whom 355 have died. The medical charity said the patients had arrived in three hospitals in the Damascus area on 21 August - when opposition activists say chemical attacks were launched against rebels.

"MSF can neither scientifically confirm the cause of these symptoms nor establish who is responsible for ...

An initiative to bring internet access to the "next five billion" people has been launched by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. The social network has teamed up with Ericsson, MediaTek, Nokia, Opera, Qualcomm and Samsung, among others, to lower the cost of mobile data. The group said it wanted to help those in developing countries to become part of the internet community. But one expert said those nations had "other priorities" to deal with first. Mr. Zuckerberg said the goal was to make "internet access available to those who cannot currently afford it". The group's statement said only 2.7 billion people - just over one-third of the world's population - had access to the internet. Adoption was growing by less than 9% a year, which was not fast enough. Central to the group's plans is to be more "data efficient" by researching ways to use less data to load websites or load apps. The statement said: "Potential projects include deve...

Kenyan Lawyer Takes State of Israel to Hague over Jesus’ Death A Kenyan lawyer, Dola Indidis, has petitioned the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague to hold the State of Israel and Italy responsible for what he terms the unlawful trial and execution of Jesus Indidis, a former spokesperson of the Kenyan judiciary, is attempting to sue Tiberius (emperor of Rome from 42 BC–AD 37), Pontius Pilate, and a selection of Jewish elders. (Jerusalem Post) “Evidence today is on record in the Bible, and you cannot discredit the Bible,” Indidis said. (Kenyan Citizen News) Although he lists charges against individuals who have been dead for over 2,000 years, Indidis reasons that the governments for whom they acted can and should still be held responsible. “I filed the case because it’s my duty to uphold the dignity of Jesus, and I have gone to the ICJ to seek justice for the man from Nazareth,” Indidis said in an interview with the Nairobian.

Findings from what investigators call “the first comprehensive synthesis” of 60 different studies linking violence to climate change suggest that as global temperatures increase, so will wars, rape, and murder. The new study, conducted by researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, Princeton University, and the National Bureau of Economic Research in Cambridge, Mass., is published in the current issue of the journal Science. According to the paper, the three researchers took what they call a “rigorous approach” to their selection of the studies that formed the basis of their work. They reviewed data from 60 primary studies, representing the efforts of over 190 researchers from around the world, that analyzed 45 different occurrences of violent conflict ranging over a period from about 10,000 BCE to the present. Their analysis revealed a strong historical correlation between societal violence and h...
