When you think of threats from climate change, you probably envision flooding and wind from supercharged hurricanes, or unprecedented heatwaves. A <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://climatecommunication.yale.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/climate-change-american-mind-beliefs-attitudes-fall-2024.pdf">survey</a> of people in the US from late 2024 found that the majority of people see extreme weather as the greatest climate-related danger. But there are a slew of more persistent ways climate change is disrupting our day-to-day experiences.
“These are the kinds of events that affect people’s lives but don’t necessarily make the news,” says <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://environment.yale.edu/directory/staff/jennifer-carman">Jennifer Carman</a> at Yale University.
While these more mundane impacts of climate change – such as worse allergies or longer commute times – might seem to pale in comparison to climate disasters, they can add up to represent a big shift, says Carman. Knowing about them can also help people prepare for how climate change will affect their lives. After all, about half of Americans now report they have personally experienced climate change, twice as many as a decade ago.
“Extreme events won’t affect everyone,” says Carman. “But people are experiencing everyday effects every day.”
<h2>Climate change is driving up the cost of food – and everything else</h2>

Hotter temperatures due to climate change contribute to price inflation. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.ecb.europa.eu/pub/research/authors/profiles/friderike-kuik.en.html">Friderike Kuik</a> at the European Central Bank and her colleagues analysed links between changing temperatures and thousands of price indices from around the world. Across the board, they found that higher average temperatures – not just extreme events – lead to inflation. This was especially true in regions closer to the equator, where the effect persists year round.
They projected that by 2035, hotter temperatures will drive annual price inflation across a range of goods by 0.5 per cent to 1.2 percent, depending on the amount of greenhouse gases the world emits. The effect is about twice as large for food prices because agriculture is particularly vulnerable to changing weather. “All of this unpredictability makes it harder to grow food,” says Carman.
<h2>Air conditioning is becoming more common – and expensive</h2>
Higher temperatures also increase air conditioning costs. In hot places, those that have air conditioning have to run it longer and more often for the same cooling effect. This can often <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/heat-waves-make-ac-too-expensive-for-many-people/">increase energy bills</a> beyond what people can afford.
People living in places that were once cool enough to get by without air conditioning, such as London or the Pacific Northwest in the US, are now having to install it for the first time. In most of the world, the <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0378778823007776">increased cost of cooling</a> wipes out any reduced heating costs.
<h2>We’re sleeping less because of rising temperatures</h2>
Even when we can crank the air conditioning, hotter temperatures overnight can disrupt our sleep. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=LKlYcKkAAAAJ&hl=en">Renjie Chen</a> at Fudan University in China and his colleagues analysed more than 20 million nights worth of sleep monitoring data from hundreds of thousands of people in China. They found that a 10°C rise in temperature on a given night made it 20 per cent more likely someone wouldn’t get sufficient sleep. With climate change under a worst-case emissions scenario, they estimated higher temperatures could amount to each person in China <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-57781-y">losing about 33 hours of sleep per year</a> by the end of the century.
This is a worldwide issue. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Kelton-Minor">Kelton Minor</a> at Columbia University in New York and his colleagues looked at links between ambient nighttime temperature and sleep data from tens of thousands of people across 68 countries. They found <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.cell.com/one-earth/fulltext/S2590-3322(22)00209-3?_r=">higher nighttime temperatures reduce the amount of sleep people get</a> across the board, mainly by delaying when people fall asleep. However, the effect was most significant for people in poor or hotter countries, as well as for older people and women.
<h2>Climate change is boosting air pollution and making it more harmful</h2>
Air pollution, whether it’s tiny particles of PM2.5 or ozone, is harmful for human health. Recent studies have found that the effects of this ambient pollution can be even worse when combined with higher temperatures, either due to heat changing the mix of pollutants in the air, or people spending more time outside.
Rising temperatures can also <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2095927324003529">boost air pollution</a> by surging demand for electricity to power air conditioning (see above), which can kick on electricity generation at what are called “peaker plants”. These are high-emitting power plants designed to meet peak demand, and are some of the <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.eenews.net/articles/gas-peakers-emit-more-air-pollution-than-baseload-plants-gao/">dirtiest fossil fuel power plants</a>.
Pollution from burning fossil fuels in general has fallen as the power grid has gotten cleaner, which should be a boon for public health. But decades of progress there could be reversed by more frequent exposure to wildfire smoke as climate change fuels more intense and more frequent fires. One study found that increased exposure to this smoke could lead to around 700,000 additional deaths in the US by 2050.
<h2>Allergies are getting worse as the world warms</h2>
Higher concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are also leading to longer warm seasons and more pollen production, which is <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://aafa.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/extreme-allergies-global-warming-report-2010.pdf">boosting allergies</a>. And people are noticing. Carman says this has turned up in the data from their annual <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://climatecommunication.yale.edu/publications/does-climate-change-make-you-sneeze/">survey</a>, with 38 per cent of respondents reporting that allergy season is getting worse.
The data supports what people’s sniffles are telling them. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://profiles.faculty.utah.edu/u6003057">William Anderegg</a> at the University of Utah and his colleagues found that <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2013284118">pollen season in North America has lengthened</a> by an average of 20 days since the 1990s, with a 21 per cent increase in the amount of pollen in the air. They attribute most of this change to human-caused warming.
<h2>Travel is taking longer, whether it’s a long-haul flight or daily commute</h2>
Climate change is increasingly causing weather-related delays on transportation systems, leading to billions of hours of wasted time.
For instance, <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://search.asu.edu/profile/3142923">Valerie Mueller</a> at Arizona State University and her colleagues looked at how regular coastal flooding is affecting commute times in the eastern US. They estimated that the average person driving to work there now sees about 23 minutes of delays per year due to these floods – double the amount two decades ago. In their analysis, they screened out the extreme flooding from storm surge, so this is mainly due to sea level rise.
While a couple dozen extra minutes commuting over a whole year may not seem like all that much, it amounts to billions of hours of lost time on the whole. In the coming decades, further sea level rise could multiply that to hundreds of minutes per year per person, they found.
Weather-related delays are also rising for train systems and at airports. For instance, the International Air Transport Association reports that <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.iata.org/en/iata-repository/publications/economic-reports/weather-related-operational-disruptions-are-rising/">weather-related delays</a> rose from 11 per cent of overall delays in 2012 to 30 per cent of delays in 2023. And even when you are able to board, your flight may be bumpier, with climate change boosting certain forms of turbulence.

Students from the University of Massachusetts Amherst team carry their high-powered rocket toward the launch pad at NASA’s 2025 Student Launch launch day competition in Toney, Alabama, on April 4, 2025. More than 980 middle school, high school, and college students from across the nation launched more than 40 high-powered amateur rockets just north of NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. This year marked the 25th anniversary of the competition.
To compete, students follow the NASA engineering design lifecycle by going through a series of reviews for nine months leading up to launch day. Each year, a payload challenge is issued to the university teams, and this year’s task focused on communication. Teams were required to have “reports” from STEMnauts, non-living objects inside their rocket, that had to relay real-time data to the student team’s mission control. This Artemis Student Challenge took inspiration from the agency’s Artemis missions, where NASA will send astronauts to explore the Moon for scientific discovery, economic benefit, and to build the foundation for the first crewed missions to Mars.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[ 

<div id="article-content">
The Norwegian energy company Equinor said Friday it will be forced to terminate an offshore wind project for New York within days unless President Donald Trump ‘s administration relents on its order that stopped construction.
Work on Empire Wind has been paused since April 16, when Interior Secretary Doug Burgum directed the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management to halt construction. Burgum said it needs further review because it appeared the Biden administration rushed the approval. Equinor went through a seven-year permitting process before starting to build Empire Wind last year, and the project is roughly a third complete.
Trump has been hostile to renewable energy, particularly offshore wind, and has signed a spate of executive orders aimed at boosting oil, gas and coal. His first day in office, Trump signed an executive order temporarily halting offshore wind lease sales in federal waters and pausing the issuance of approvals, permits and loans for all wind projects.
Empire Wind is fully permitted and the developer has already invested more than $2.5 billion so far in the project, said Molly Morris, president of Equinor Renewables Americas, in an interview Friday. 
She said this is an “urgent, unsustainable situation” because each day of uncertainty is extremely expensive: Equinor spends up to $50 million per week on the project and has 11 vessels on standby. The developer has done a significant amount of onshore work already, where the cable from the wind farm will connect to the local grid.
“If no material progress is made toward a resolution within days, Equinor will be forced to terminate the project,” she said. “This is about honoring contracts and financial investments made in the U.S. It could set a dangerous precedent by stopping a project in mid-execution.”
The Interior Department did not immediately respond to emails seeking comment.
Equinor has over $60 billion in investments across the U.S., including substantial oil, gas and renewable projects. RWE, a German energy company, has stopped its offshore wind work in the United States, citing the political environment. French energy giant TotalEnergies paused the development of its offshore wind project in New York after Trump won reelection. 
Equinor is considering legal options, but rather than getting tied up in the courts, Morris said the best way forward is a quicker political resolution. The summer construction window for major offshore work began this month, and missing it would set the project back a year, she said.
Morris and Equinor CEO Anders Opedal met with Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic Council, on Wednesday. She said it was helpful, but they’ve asked to meet with Burgum and haven’t gotten a meeting.
Equinor is building Empire Wind to start providing power in 2026 for more than 500,000 New York homes. Equinor finalized the federal lease for Empire Wind in March 2017, early in Trump’s first term. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management approved the construction and operations plan in February 2024 and construction began that year.
New York is leading a coalition of state attorneys general challenging the wind energy executive order in court. They say in the lawsuit filed Monday that Trump doesn’t have the authority to unilaterally shut down the permitting process, and he’s jeopardizing development of a power source critical to the states’ economic vitality, energy mix, public health and climate goals. 
The White House says Democratic attorneys general are trying to stop the president’s popular energy agenda instead of working with him to restore America’s energy dominance.

TOPEKA, Kan. — A man convicted of killing a Kansas Highway Patrol trooper in 1978 has been granted parole after having past requests rejected, inspiring criticism and prompting the governor on Friday to call for reconsidering the decision.
Jimmie K. Nelms and another man, both from Tulsa, Oklahoma, were sentenced to serve two life sentences for the aggravated kidnapping and murder of <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" class="zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE " data-testid="prism-linkbase" href="https://kansashighwaypatrol.gov/end-of-watch/trooper-conroy-g-obrien/">Trooper Conroy O’Brien</a> following a traffic stop on the Kansas Turnpike about 55 miles (89 kilometers) northeast of Wichita. Nelms’ codefendant, Walter Myrick, died in prison in 2009.
In Kansas, killing a law enforcement officer now can be punished by death, with the only other possible sentence in a capital case being life in prison without parole. But in 1978, Kansas had no death penalty, and Nelms was eligible for parole after 30 years in 2008. He sought parole in 2011 and 2021. 
A date for Nelms’ release hasn’t been set. His release was approved by the Prisoner Review Board, comprised of three veteran state Department of Corrections employees appointed by its top administrator. Department spokesman David Thompson said the decision came several weeks after a March 6 hearing.
“The Kansas Prisoner Review Board believes that Mr. Nelms is able and willing to fulfill the obligations of a law-abiding citizen and is of the opinion that there is reasonable probability that Mr. Nelms can be released without detriment to the community or to himself,” Thompson said in a statement. 
The decision didn’t become public until the Kansas State Troopers Association condemned it as “disgraceful and disgusting” in a statement Thursday. Under Kansas law, it appears unlikely that critics can prevent Nelms’ release. 
“Those who murder law enforcement officers should expect to receive the death penalty, not to be walking free on the streets of KS,” state Attorney General Kris Kobach said in <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" class="zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE " data-testid="prism-linkbase" href="https://x.com/KrisKobach1787/status/1920623287995916337">a post</a> on the social platform X.
The Kansas Legislature’s top leaders, Senate President Ty Masterson and House Speaker Dan Hawkins, called the parole decision “unconscionable” Friday. 
They and Kobach are Republicans; the Department of Corrections is under Gov. Laura Kelly, a Democrat. But Kelly wants the board to consider reversing the decision “if legally possible,” spokesperson Grace Hoge said. 
“The facts of this case demonstrate a brutal and intentional killing of a law enforcement officer,” Hoge said in an email. “There is no justification for this decision.”
According to court records and news reports, O’Brien stopped Nelms’ car for speeding about 2 miles south of a turnpike service area. Myrick was driving. 
As O’Brien wrote a ticket in his patrol car, Nelms approached the driver’s side with a gun, according to authorities. Nelms forced O’Brien to get out of the car and told him to lie down in a ditch. Authorities said Nelms took O’Brien’s gun, struck the trooper with it, and, when O’Brien fell to the ground, shot him twice in the head. 
O’Brien was 26 with a pregnant wife. Nelms was 31 and Myrick, 25. A 21-year-old man was also in the car with Nelms and Myrick, but he pleaded guilty to lesser charges and provided crucial testimony against Nelms.
The men fled in Nelms’ car, left the turnpike, and eventually drove north, where another patrol trooper spotted the car about 20 miles (32 kilometers) northwest of where O’Brien died. Nelms’ car and the trooper’s collided in a pasture, and a gun battle ensued. 
Nelms denied he was the shooter, but jurors convicted him and Myrick of murder, aggravated kidnapping and other charges during a joint trial.
Nelms served most of his sentence in maximum-security prisons but was transferred to a lower-security facility in 2023. Online Department of Corrections records show four disciplinary reports against him from 1996 to 2017, the last for disobeying orders. Thompson said Nelms works in the prison laundry.
When Nelms sought parole in 2011, decisions were made by a three-member parole board appointed by the governor, subject to state Senate confirmation. That same year, Republican Gov. Sam Brownback issued an executive order abolishing the parole board in favor of a panel of Department of Corrections employees.
Brownback said the move would save the state $500,000 a year, and sentencing laws after 1993 limited parole. Critics worried that the department’s board would release inmates just to avoid prison overcrowding, and Kelly, then a state senator, called the change “a really bad idea.” 
Masterson, the current Senate president, backed the change in 2011 but said Friday that it “has not functioned as intended” and that he would work for changes to see that the review board members “rightly answer to the people of Kansas.”
Democratic state Rep. Tom Sawyer, who reviewed Nelms’ case as a parole board member from 2009 through June 2011, said the board sometimes rejected parole when corrections officials recommended. Now, he said, the process is “all in-house.” 
As for Nelms, Sawyer said, “I think it’s highly unlikely the parole board would have let him go, based on my experience.”

<div>
Welcome to The Logoff. Patrick Reis is off today: Rümeysa Öztürk was detained by the Trump administration, seemingly just for writing an op-ed. Now, in a scorching new ruling, a federal judge ordered her freed.
</div>
<div>
What’s the background? Öztürk — a Tufts University PhD student and a Turkish national — was whisked off the streets of Massachusetts by ICE agents in late March. Her arrest was part of the Trump administration effort to revoke visas from students who protested Israel’s war in Gaza.
</div>
<div>
Her detention stood out as particularly shocking because there was no indication she had ever engaged in any disruptive or lawbreaking protests. She had merely co-authored an op-ed in Tufts’ student newspaper last year that criticized the war and urged school administrators to acknowledge students’ concerns about it. 
</div>
<div>
A Trump administration spokesperson anonymously claimed in March that “DHS and ICE investigations found Öztürk engaged in activities in support of Hamas.” But to this day they have conspicuously failed to produce any evidence of that — including, when Öztürk filed suit, before a judge.
</div>
<div>
What did the judge say? Judge William Sessions III ordered Öztürk released “immediately.” Ruling from the bench, he sounded appalled by the Trump administration’s conduct, which he said “chills the speech of the millions and millions of people who are not citizens.”
</div>
<div>
He said Öztürk had made “very substantial claims of First Amendment and due process violations,” and that, furthermore, the government had offered “no evidence” about their motivation for detaining her other than the op-ed.
</div>
<div>
Is this case over, then? No. Öztürk was ordered released from detention. But the question of whether the US government can legally revoke her visa remains unresolved. While Sessions sounds very likely to rule in her favor, it’s unclear if conservatives on the Supreme Court will do the same, should the case reach them. Still, this case has been an embarrassment to the Trump administration, and perhaps there’s a faint glimmer of hope they’ll decide to just drop it. Too optimistic? Probably.
</div>

If you want some good art film recommendations, Jia Zhangke — one of the best directors working today, in my view — visited the Criterion Closet this week and picked some of his favorites. His own films are also streaming on the Criterion Channel — if you’re interested in contemplative movies about the modernization of China that suddenly drop a Village People dance track, check them out!

<div>
President Donald Trump marked the first 100 days of his return to the White House on April 29. Though largely symbolic, this milestone is often a gauge of the incumbent’s governing instincts, priorities, and direction moving forward. Historically, the opening stretch offers a window of political momentum – a chance to push bold initiatives before opposition resistance stiffens.
Trump has wasted no time seizing that opportunity. In just three months, he has launched an arguably aggressive and often polarizing agenda, moving swiftly on border enforcement, sweeping subsidy cuts, protectionist trade measures and a fundamental overhaul of US foreign policy.
His team has racked up early wins on some fronts – but major global flashpoints, from the war in Ukraine to the conflict in Gaza, stubbornly remain in a quagmire. True to form, if Trump finds his efforts further stalling, the president may pivot to another arena where he believes a breakthrough is more within reach. In that case, North Korea, long dormant on Washington’s radar, could find itself back on the agenda.
In an interview for Asia Times, former US National Security Advisor John Bolton discussed Trump’s opening sprint, the grinding stalemate in Ukraine and the evolving geopolitical dynamics in Northeast Asia. A fixture in American diplomacy, Bolton has served in several key roles across Republican administrations, including as ambassador to the UN.
How would you assess Trump’s first 100 days in office?
In the international sphere, it’s been marked with a lot of failures and incompletions. Trump certainly did not achieve a ceasefire in Ukraine in 24 hours, not to mention in 100 days. If anything, it looks like the ceasefire effort is stalled and there’s no prospect of it moving forward. The situation in the Middle East remains unresolved. Negotiations with Iran don’t appear to have much traction, but we don’t know how long Trump will pursue them.
Most importantly, for the wider world, the Trump tariffs in the first 100 days are an economic disaster waiting to happen for the US and particularly its friends and allies. We don’t know whether we will have a trade war with the whole world at once or whether negotiations may solve some of it. But it certainly looks like we’ll have a trade war with China.
<aside>
</aside>
We haven’t done the preparation that should be necessary – to get our friends and allies together because they’re suffering from many of the same unfair practices that China’s played against the US. I’m also worried about the effect it has on American relations with countries all over the world, who wonder what this means in terms of future relations with Washington.
Do you see cease-fire talks over Ukraine producing any meaningful progress?
I don’t see a real chance for progress. The parties have significantly different views on what outcomes they would find acceptable. And they cross each other’s red lines in many areas. Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity are a red line for Ukraine. But, really, the Kremlin’s objective here ultimately is to conquer all of Ukraine.
So I’m not even sure if you could get to a ceasefire, or that it will last for any significant amount of time. When the parties are that far apart, that implies a long-term negotiation to resolve the differences. And, in the meantime, the Russians continue to try and move forward, which they’re doing – but very, very slowly and at a very high cost.
Putin thinks he’s got the momentum. That may be right, although it’s not much momentum. And that’s another incentive for him not to make a deal at this point.
Can you elaborate on your view of Putin’s ultimate motive?
What Putin said beginning in 2005, and many other statements since then, he basically wants to recreate the Russian Empire. And you can’t have a Russian empire in their view without having Ukraine. Putin began military action in 2014 and got maybe nine or ten percent of Ukraine. He’s continued it. The Russians now hold about 20 percent. It’s a slow process and highly costly to Russia in terms of lost lives, wounded and the economic consequences as well.
I think the advantage to Putin of a ceasefire, if you take it, is that it gives him a chance to rebuild the Russian army, which has been very badly damaged in the current war. Once he rebuilds the Russian army and the Black Sea fleet, then I think he’s in a position to try the third invasion.
This is why Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, has stressed the importance of security guarantees. It’s not enough just to get a ceasefire in the current conflict. It’s what you can put in place if you can’t have NATO membership for Ukraine, which Russia rules out and which I don’t think Trump would push. [If so,] then what are the security guarantees that Ukraine can receive that would deter a future Russian invasion?
Reports suggest Trump’s team is exploring a return to talks with Pyongyang. Do you see him re-engaging with Kim Jong Un?
That’s possible. But I worry that that might mean a meeting in Pyongyang, since it’s hard to imagine how you get the headlines of simply another meeting in Singapore or some other Asian city. And that would be very much in North Korea’s interest.
The Trump administration should wait until the political situation in South Korea is clarified one way or the other. Doing anything significant with North Korea on the nuclear front would be a very bad signal that we weren’t willing to wait for South Korea’s politics to clear up. Even if the administration in Washington has indicated interest toward Pyongyang, I think there shouldn’t be any real movement on that until things are clear.
Do you think Trump could come to terms with a nuclear North Korea?
Well, I hope not. I mean, that phrase has been used, but honestly, I don’t think he fully understands what it means. And, certainly, the declared policy of the United States remains the complete, verifiable and irreversible denuclearization of North Korea. That’s what the policy should be. And as I say, now with Marco Rubio, at least for a short period, being both secretary of state and national security advisor, that’s been Rubio’s view for a long time.
Some in Seoul argue that hardliners in Trump’s first administration ultimately <a target="_blank" href="https://keia.org/the-peninsula/john-bolton-on-the-summits-2-hanoi/">scuttled</a> a potential deal at the 2019 Hanoi Summit. What’s your view?
Trump pulled back just in time, not to make concessions to North Korea that would have been fatal. You know, North Korea has run the same playbook for many years. It agrees to denuclearize in exchange for tangible economic benefits, light fuel oil, light reactors, heavy fuel oil and relief from sanctions. And the benefits to North Korea are always front-end loaded.
The responsibilities of North Korea, that is to say, to denuclearize, come later. So North Korea agrees to denuclearize, gets the economic benefits, and then reneges on their part. And going through that again, which is what Kim Jong-un wanted to see in Hanoi, was just unacceptable and should be unacceptable.
<aside>
</aside>
What’s one thing you would advise the Trump team on North Korea?
When the government in South Korea is resolved, I would talk immediately about what to do to face the combined threat – not just of North Korea’s nuclear program, but China’s hegemonic ambitions along its Indo-Pacific periphery. South Korea made a very important decision a year or so ago when it agreed to trilateral military maneuvers with the US and Japan. I think there are things we need to strengthen and advance on that front.
There’s a growing realization in South Korea that an attack on Taiwan by China would be an attack on South Korea as well. So this whole East Asian security question, I think, is getting more complicated and urgent. And South Korea has a critical role to play. So I recommend that South Korea be included in the Quad, joining India, Japan, Australia, and the US, thus forming a five-power operation that allows South Korea to participate with its economic, political, and military significance.
If South Korea’s presidency shifts to the left, how might that alter Seoul’s approach to North Korea?
We’ve seen variations of the Sunshine Policy through several different South Korean presidencies. All aimed at, in their view, getting a satisfactory resolution of a lot of issues, particularly the nuclear issue with North Korea. But they have all failed.
You can try it again, but you’re going to get the same result. So whatever the people of South Korea decide, obviously, that’s their choice to make. And that’s the government the US would work with. But whoever it is, getting a realistic view of what Kim Jong Un wants to achieve is crucial. He wants to reunite the Korean Peninsula under his government, and the nuclear capability provides him with a considerable bit of leverage.

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s new cabinet is expected to be larger than his first, but could include a tiered structure with a secondary ring of ministers.
Rideau Hall announced Friday that Carney and his cabinet will be sworn in Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. in Ottawa by Gov. Gen. Mary Simon.
Three Liberal sources tell CBC News that one of the options Carney’s considering is selecting a core group of senior ministers and a secondary group of ministers of state.
Several past Canadian governments have used ministers of state in different capacities. The model is also used in the United Kingdom, where Carney used to work as the Governor of the Bank of England, and where they’re considered mid-tier ministers.
A senior Liberal source said Carney is weighing using a core group of ministers who will meet more frequently and deal with central government issues. Whereas, ministers of state may not be given full government departments and could meet less often, the source said.
<h2>A way to keep core cabinet small</h2>
Another source said this move is one way Carney could keep his core cabinet smaller than his predecessor Justin Trudeau, who had 40 people around the table last year. Carney cut the number of ministers in his first cabinet to 24.
Two of the sources also suggested Cyrus Reporter and Marc-André Blanchard are being considered or pursued for Carney’s chief of staff.
Asked for comment Friday, Blanchard told CBC News that to his knowledge he’s not being pursued and hasn’t had any discussions about the role. 
Among his roles, Reporter served as Trudeau’s chief of staff while he was the Liberal leader and as a senior adviser to his office. Blanchard served as ambassador and permanent representative of Canada to the United Nations from 2016 to 2020.
Former public safety minister Marco Mendicino has been serving in that role — a choice that both Conservative and NDP leaders criticized.
CBC News agreed not to name the sources because they weren’t authorized to discuss details about the new cabinet.
Carney has said he’s committed to hitting gender parity in his next cabinet. His first cabinet included 13 men, including himself, and 11 women.
That smaller cabinet faced pushback from advocacy groups upset that ministers solely dedicated to their issues were no longer around the table. Missing from those ministers in March were the titles women, gender equality, youth, official languages, diversity, inclusion, persons with disabilities and seniors — all included in Trudeau’s cabinet. 
MPs earn an annual salary of $209,800, but the prime minister earns double that amount.
Carney’s cabinet ministers and ministers of state will see their base salary topped up with an additional $99,900, while secretaries of state in cabinet earn an additional $74,700.
Lawmakers will return to the House of Commons on May 26, just 28 days after Canadians voted in the federal election, the second-shortest time on record after the 21-day wait following the 1988 federal election.
While Carney has been prime minister since March 14, he was only elected to the House of Commons April 28. During the campaign Carney promised take quick action on a number of files that are expected to make this return to Parliament busy from the start. 
Some of those promises include removing federal barriers to interprovincial trade by Canada Day and rolling out a “Canada Strong Pass” that will provide youth 17 and under free access to national galleries and museums along with free seats on Via Rail when travelling with their parents.
Carney has also promised to make access to national parks and historic sites free this summer, along with reduced pricing for camping access.

Arab sources speaking to al-Arabi al-Jadeed have said Washington is likely to consider waiving the demand for Hamas to disarm in order to arrive at a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
Hamas has repeatedly said that laying down its weapons is its red line, until the Israeli occupation ends. 
The Trump administration has been eager to resolve the 19-month-long war on Gaza before the US president heads to some Arab gulf nations next week. 
The sources also told al-Arabi al-Jadeed that Trump’s inner circle is aware that no military option will help save the Israeli captives in Gaza. The view from within is reportedly that the Israelis are being too pushy with the White House and trying to dictate their terms – something this particular president likely does not appreciate.

HERNING, Denmark — The United States blanked Denmark 5-0 on the opening day of the ice hockey world championship on Friday.
Matty Beniers led the Americans with two goals, Cutter Gauthier and Mason Lohrei had a goal and an assist each, and Logan Cooley also scored in a Group B game.
Michael Kesselring had two assists and goaltender Joey Daccord recorded 26 saves in the shutout.
“Any time a goalie gets a shutout is a team result,” Daccord said after his debut at the worlds.

Gauthier opened the scoring from the slot with 2:08 left in the opening period. Cooley doubled the advantage on a power play, Beniers added on a rebound in the middle period and Lohrei made it 4-0 from the point midway through the final period. Beniers one-timed a slap shot for his second with 3:44 remaining.
Sweden delights home crowd
Sweden shut out Slovakia 5-0 to delight the home crowd in Stockholm in Group A.
Mikael Backlund, Leo Carlsson and Jonas Brodin scored 8:37 apart in the second part of the opening period to give Sweden a commanding 3-0 lead.
Elias Lindholm stretched it to 4-0 in the second and Mika Zibanejad finished it off in the final period.
Backlund and Lindholm added an assist each.
Sweden won the championship when it took place in Stockholm last time in 2013.
Czechs prevail in OT
Defending champion Czech Republic earlier prevailed in overtime to beat Switzerland 5-4 in a rematch of last year’s final.
Roman Cervenka scored the winner 2:30 into overtime from the left circle after David Pastrnak fed him with his second assist in Herning.
