A U.S. judge on Tuesday questioned whether allowing Mexico to sue U.S. gun manufacturers for facilitating the trafficking of weapons to drug cartels would open the door to other countries suing them, including Russia over firearms used by Ukrainians in the ongoing war.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is downplaying the deadly Jan. 6, 2021, attack at the U.S. Capitol. In an interview Friday on the podcast of comedian Russell Brand, DeSantis said the riot “was not an insurrection” but a protest that “ended up devolving, you know, in a way that was unfortunate, of course.” He also said the idea that Jan. 6 “was a plan to somehow overthrow the government of the United States is not true.” Ten people have been convicted of seditious conspiracy related to the attack, in which a mob of Donald Trump supporters sought to stop the certification of Joe Biden's election victory.

“Maize is grown by about 50% of farmers in Tanzania. Maize is also a sun loving plant. So the fact that we had an 11% yield increase in maize [under solar panel arrays] is a phenomenal result,” he said.

A farm in Bavaria is covering its hops with solar panels, providing electricity to 250 households and shading the plants from the increasingly scorching summer heat in the process. Solar panels atop crops has been gaining traction in recent years. As incentives and demand for clean energy skyrocket, researchers look into making the best use of the land, and farmers seek ways to shield their crops from blistering heat. The team in Germany says its effort is the first agrivoltaic project that’s solely focused on hops, but projects have sprouted around the world in several countries for a variety of different grains, fruits and vegetables.
