It is objectionable that Prime Minister Mark Carney will address the European Parliament before he faces the House of Commons over why trade talks broke down with the Trump administration. There is much to discuss and, so far, Carney has been cagey about what transpired, while American officials are challenging his version of events. In particular, Carney needs to explain exactly what he meant when he claimed last Saturday that the Americans wanted to insert language that would restrict Canada's freedom to sign trade agreements with other countries. "One thing we were not going to accept was any restriction on those deals," he said. It is this argument that made it easy for Carney to persuade Canadians across the political spectrum to rally around the flag. However, the specific proposals at play appear to be more complicated than what has been debated in the media. To start with, Carney even suggested in that same Saturday speech that the government was open to aligning trade policy with the U. S. under the right circumstances. "We would be prepared to do that," he said. On Tuesday, the New York Times reported that this idea didn't even come from the Americans, but from Ottawa.

ClimateSome climate scientists are cautious about prematurely attributing human caused-climate change as the sole cause of the disaster that resulted in the violent flooding of Himalayan villages in Nepal this week. But other experts say it was the kind of catastrophe they’ve been warning about for years.

Nearly 600 people were confirmed dead as of Friday after a flash flood caused by a glacier collapse inundated villages in Nepal's Himalayas. Disaster scientists say human-caused climate change made the collapse all the more likely. (Rajesh Kumar Singh/The Associated Press)Geoscientist Jakob Steiner says it looks like "someone took a knife," cut a 1,300-metre-wide chunk from the lower part of a glacier on Nepal's Himalayas and "dropped it off the mountain cliff.

A simple measurement around the waist could reveal important health risks that weight alone may miss, according to new research from Rutgers Health. The study, published in JAMA Network Open, found that measuring waist circumference, either by itself or together with body mass index (BMI), was about as effective as a more complicated new approach that relies on several different body measurements.

Immunotherapies such as CAR T-cell therapy were originally developed mainly to fight cancer. But scientists are now investigating whether these personalized treatments, made from a patient's own immune cells, could also help treat or even potentially cure autoimmune diseases. Researchers at Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin have now tested CAR T-cell therapy in six people with particularly severe rheumatoid arthritis. The world's first clinical trial of its kind, reported in Nature Medicine, produced encouraging early results. Disease activity fell substantially in every participant, and by the end of the observation period, three patients no longer needed rheumatoid arthritis medication.

Representative imageWhat happens when you bury a pair of cotton underpants in the ground and come back two months later? For nearly 1,000 citizen scientists in Switzerland, the answer offered an unusual window into the hidden world beneath their feet. In a large citizen science project, participants buried more than 2,000 pairs of cotton underpants and 12,000 tea bags at sites across Switzerland. The goal was not a prank. Researchers wanted to see whether the speed at which the cotton broke down could reveal how active the soil's living community was. The results, published on August 26 in New Phytologist Foundation, suggest that a simple pair of cotton underpants can provide useful clues about soil decomposition and fertility — while also helping people pay more attention to one of Earth's most important and often overlooked resources. The more the underpants disappeared, the more active the soil wasSoil is filled with bacteria, fungi and other tiny organisms that break down organic matter. The researchers used cotton underpants as a simple way to observe this process. Participants buried two pairs at each site and dug them up after one and two months.
