The Mercator map was designed in 1569 by the Flemish cartographer Gerardus Mercator to help European explorers navigate across the world.The distortion of his map is a result of the fact that it is impossible to accurately represent the surface of a globe on a two-dimensional chart.Whenever a map of the world is drawn, compromises need to be made. The Mercator map shows the curvature of the Earth by making countries near the equator seem smaller than they are, with countries nearer the poles appearing bigger.In an effort to correct this, a team of cartographers in 2018 created an equal…

In his speech, which was light on new policy announcements, Farage said the country needed a government “that actually delivers on its promises” and “we’re the only people capable of doing it”.He argued the Tories “had 14 years in power and failed absolutely miserably”, while Labour’s new Prime Minister Andy Burnham “says he needs 10 years”, a reference to the PM’s promise to set out a 10-year plan for the country later this year.If Reform wins the next general election, Farage pledged to sack ministers who fail to deliver on their promises in their first 100 days in the job…

On the morning of March 25, a flood of posts that struck a remarkably similar tone began popping up on scattered social media sites.Mayor Zohran Mamdani had just decided to cancel a $9 million contract that New York City had with the consulting giant McKinsey, and gushing praise came pouring in from commentators, operatives on the left and even some comedians.Alex Jacquez, who works at a progressive think tank, posted on X: “Really exciting that NYC is generating operational efficiencies by in-sourcing needlessly outsourced public services and functions, building city capacity. More of this!”Akilah Hughes, a comedian with more than…

President Donald Trump’s controversial demands for the Postal Service to overhaul and monitor millions of mail ballots hit another snag on Friday, when North Carolina became the first state in the nation to start sending out ballots for the November election.In March, Trump signed the initial executive order, which aimed to crack down on mail-in voting — which he regularly alleges without evidence is a vector for widespread voter fraud — and assert an unprecedented amount of federal control over the upcoming elections.Under this order and the subsequent rule drafted by the U.S. Postal Service, the USPS would refuse to…

US negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will visit Russia and Ukraine this weekend, reports say, as efforts to end the war appear to be gathering pace.The envoys will meet Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday in Moscow, and then will hold talks with Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday in Kyiv, Axios said, citing US officials.Witkoff and Kushner have led US President Donald Trump’s efforts to broker a peace deal, but a gulf remains between the two warring sides. Earlier on Friday, Zelensky said a Russian drone hit the office of Ukraine’s security chief Oleksandr Poklad in Kyiv. Poklad appears…

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has described secretly-recorded comments by his senior aides about donations as “injudicious” and “loose pub talk”.James Orr, the party’s head of policy, and Dan Jukes, a close aide to Farage, have both stepped down and Reform has launched an internal investigation into the allegations.It comes after Channel 4 News broadcast undercover filming by Verbatim Investigations, in which the two men suggested a way around electoral law to secure foreign party donations for the party, one of which would have totalled £500,000.Farage said his party had “done nothing wrong” and had taken “no illegal money. In…

“All emergency services are on the scene. Everyone affected will receive the necessary assistance,” Zelensky added in a message on Telegram.”I instructed Poklad to deliver an appropriate, tangible response and, where possible, one that mirrors this strike, to the Russians once everything is ready. Our military will support this response.”Images of the office widely shared online showed black smoke pouring from two windows on the front of the building.Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha said the attack was a “major escalation that demands resolute responses”.”Moscow launched this strike during a renewed push for peace – laying bare its true rejection of diplomacy,”…

Attacks on military and defence targets are not new, although previous acts of sabotage linked to Russia include more puzzling targets – such as an Ikea store and a Polish paint store.The novelty now is the concentration of cases.”The intensity of military sites being attacked we’ve seen over the past couple of weeks is unusual,” Daniela Richterova of the Department of War Studies at King’s College says.She links the spike to developments in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.”We’ve basically seen Ukraine take the war to Russia and strike deep inside Russian territory…They [Moscow] are under pressure, they have to do something.”Whilst…
