Boris Johnson, the former British prime minister and foreign secretary, is not known for his sophisticated understanding of the Middle East, or for his dedication to truth and accuracy.

After rejecting the Gospel for many years, members of a Northeastern Brazilian tribe have finally seen spiritual growth. The result of following Jesus is the persecution they now endure.

NASHVILLE (BP) – See Brandon Lake and Phil Wickham together in live performances captured on screen in “For the One,” returning for an extra night in theaters across the U.S. Saturday, Nov. 2, after an original run Oct. 27-29.

Back in the days of Muslim rule in Spain, Valencia was known as Medina Al-Turab, or city of sand. After last week's deluge, it is now more of a city of water and mud. A year's rain in a single day led to the loss of more than 400 lives and enormous damage to one of Spain's finest and most historic cities.

A month ago, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin made clear in a letter to the Israeli authorities that they had 30 days to boost humanitarian aid into Gaza or risk having American military assistance suspended. Many depicted this as the Biden administration getting tough. The deadline is due to pass on Tuesday. Last week, the US State Department confirmed Israel had not met the criteria but it still had time.

MURFREESBORO, Tenn.—An International Mission Board Sending Celebration is a time to support those who are going on the field to share the gospel with a lost world. Such an event

It was only a matter of when. It has always only been a matter of when. For years, Israeli leaders have craved the West Bank. Few hid their desire to annex it either wholly or in large part. Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich last week announced plans to annex the West Bank in 2025. There was little pushback in Israel or internationally. Back in 2019-2020, when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last veered down this dangerous path, it was more of a political gambit. He used it to advance normalization with Arab states.

Some 185 days after they were requested by prosecutor Karim Khan, the International Criminal Court last week issued warrants for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, ex-Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Mohammed Deif, a Hamas commander. Many ask, will this make any difference? Will Israel end its genocide in Gaza? The answer is almost certainly “no.” Netanyahu, now a war crimes suspect at large, is very unlikely to adopt a course correction and neither are his Cabinet colleagues.

Insights from Forecast Demonstration Projects and Research Development Projects, training workshops and symposia, conducted between 2000 and 2024 are summarized. The projects were organized by the Nowcasting and Mesoscale Research Working Group of the World Weather Research Program of the World Meteorological Organization. The objective was to advance, promote and build capacity in nowcasting and very short-range forecasting. The projects were associated with the Olympic Games, emergency management and aviation services. They brought international experts together to work in a collaborative fashion. Extensive interaction with end-users and decision-makers expanded and extended the scope of services from traditional weather hazards (heavy rain, wind, hail, lightning) to include specific user needs (e.g., visibility in complex terrain or airport runways, periods of calm winds or light rain, heat stress). Substantial progress has been made in many areas including: advanced radar nowcasting algorithms, stochastic nowcasts, kilometric and hectometric numerical weather prediction models; blending of observations and models and multi-model systems. Verification was a key and valuable component of the projects quantifying the results. Also, the types of services have expanded to include both summer and winter services, complex terrain and urban environments, air transport, air quality, hydrology and health. Insights are presented in all aspects of nowcasting and very short-range forecasting from end-user decision-making, critical role of the forecaster, forecast systems (models, heuristics, observations), to science and knowledge gaps.
