In a new report, I examine how climate change is increasing organised crime in cities. I cover three areas:
- Human trafficking in rural-to-urban migration;
- Water scarcity and mafias;
- Land grab, illegal construction and corruption

Interesting that in The Atlantic interview Trump says the ‘Donroe’ doctrine - kidnap threat against heads of state that displease him - is not restricted to Western hemisphere.
It applies to any country that he decides it should.

If Trump’s claim that Venezuelan VP has been talking to US about handing in power to a steering group of sorts led by Trump, this would be (I believe) unprecedented in world history: an overnight special ops mission taking over a country without boots on the ground.
English
So that’s interesting. Trump said Rubio had a conversation with Delcy Rodrigues and that she is willing to cooperate with this steering group he’s putting together to govern Venezuela.

@DeliverooHelp @Deliveroo @AmazonUK Thanks. Deliveroo just offered me a credit back on my account. It has been a very stressful experience.

Just ordered £50 of food from @Deliveroo and two hours later asked for a refund as no food. Ordered something else as was starving. Deliveroo refused. Cancelling my @AmazonUK account as free delivery was the only valuable benefit. @DeliverooHelp (order #0484)
