Angola
Here’s something we’re sadly going to see more of over the next few decades: climate refugees. The UN’s migration specialists estimate that environmental changes may force between 25 million and 1 billion people to move by 2050. Right now, Angolans are fleeing record temperatures in the southwest of the country by trekking to neighboring Namibia. Al Jazeera today carried a moving photo essay on that.

Libya
Libya’s Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah today warned that full-scale war could be triggered if he is pushed from his job. An effort is underway in the House of Representatives to remove him and install a transitional government. It’s hard to imagine things getting worse in Libya. The country has been in a state of disarray and chaos since longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi was captured and killed in 2011.

Israel
Israeli authorities have ordered the demolition of a 95-year-old Palestinian Bedouin woman’s home after her family sought to make it wheelchair accessible. The village in which the family live is not recognised by Israel and the remodelling of her home - a makeshift shack built in the 1990s - was deemed to be a new construction. Bedouins in Israel are often expelled from their land and subject to home demolition orders.
