It’s hard to believe the London Borough of Brent was once covered in even more rubbish than it is now. Although the gleaming arch of Wembley Stadium is sometimes just a few steps away, its residential streets are a patchwork of filth. Whether it’s a sea of bottles right by the very sign for the recycling centre, a hollowed-out sofa sagging against a brick wall or a TV just feet from (but not in) the communal dustbin, Brent is covered in, well, crap.”It’s like a dump,” says Robert Hall, who has lived there all the 60-odd years of his life.His neighbourhood…

Inside Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘Lolita Express’. For nearly a decade, the Boeing 727 once owned by Jeffrey Epstein has sat motionless on an outdoor slab in Brunswick, Georgia — its once-polished fuselage streaked with grime, its engines removed, its interior frozen in a kind of disquieting time capsule.Nicknamed the “Lolita Express” by the press, a moniker not used in official aviation records but widely associated with the aircraft in court filings and media coverage, the 133-foot jet was described by federal prosecutors as a vehicle used to shuttle young victims between Epstein’s properties. Flight logs placed an array of high-profile passengers…

Through expressing their hopes for peace in art, poetry and models that they have made from rubble created by the war, thousands of young people across the enclave have taken part in The Gaza We Want initiative. With support from the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the initiative has engaged children aged five to 18 to share their vision for rebuilding the territory that’s been largely destroyed since war erupted between Hamas and Israel in October 2023. The initiative helps “reinforce the importance of meaningful, ongoing child participation in decisions about Gaza’s future,” said Jonathan Crickx, UNICEF’s head of communications in the Palestinian Occupied…

As of the end of November 2025, there were over 140,000 Burundian refugees in neighbouring Tanzania, who have fled over years of civil unrest in Burundi.While thousands continue to be “voluntarily repatriated”, an official with the UN refugee agency (UNHCR) says thousands may still need international protection in Tanzania.Up to 17,000 say they are unable to return over fears for their safety or danger of political persecution. They include members of the political opposition and former military personnel.“There are increasing concerns from refugees on forced returns and coercive measures,” said UNHCR’s Bahia Egeh, who is based in Tanzania. “We also continue…

More than 1.8 million children under five are also at risk of acute malnutrition between now and June, according to latest analysis published on Tuesday by the IPC food security monitoring platform (see our UN News explainer on the platform here). The worrying development comes after the October to December Deyr season rains failed and crop production fell. Those most impacted are poor farmers, pastoralists, and internally displaced people. Drought, displacement, aid shortfalls In Somalia, drought, insecurity and conflict in the centre, south and some parts of the north – driven by insurgency, competition over resources and other factors – have displaced people while also disrupting livelihoods and access to markets.  The situation was further compounded by high local and imported food prices, alongside a reduction in humanitarian assistance. The IPC – a UN-backed initiative – uses a scale from one to five to measure the…

(AP Photo/Angelina Katsanis) After a brief post-pandemic rebound, population growth in the United States has slowed sharply, and nowhere is that stagnation more revealing than in New York. Fresh estimates from the US Census Bureau show that between July 2024 and July 2025, New York State added just 1,008 residents, effectively flatlining after years of volatility driven by Covid, migration surges and interstate departures.At the heart of the slowdown is immigration.
