AJJ searches for hope in a hopeless world - Paste Magazine

Penticton has been ranked the fifth-fastest-rising travel destination searches in the world, according to a new report from travel search platform Skyscanner. The South Okanagan city recorded a 137-per-cent year-over-year increase in travel searches, placing it among 10 trending destinations worldwide. Penticton and Tofino were the only Canadian cities on the list, both located in B. C. Skyscanner cited Penticton’s combination of outdoor recreation, lakeside attractions, wineries and year-round activities as factors contributing to its growing popularity. Visit Penticton executive director Kevin Pearce said the recognition reflects the range of experiences available to visitors. “Within minutes, visitors can be on the water, on a bike, at a winery, enjoying a meal inspired by local ingredients, or taking in a world-class event,” Pearce said. Penticton’s outdoor offerings include hundreds of kilometres of hiking, cycling and trail-running routes, access to nearby downhill ski resorts, Nordic skiing, rock climbing, paddling and other water sports.

Israeli settlers have attacked European diplomats, including a French mayor, near the Palestinian village of Taybeh in the occupied West Bank. The delegation was visiting Palestinian olive harvesters on Saturday when the Israeli attackers confronted the group. The attack comes a day after settlers assaulted a US journalist north of Ramallah. In Saturday’s incident, the settlers targeted Belgium’s consul general, French and Polish diplomats and Catholic representatives, Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot said. “A French mayor was assaulted and a Belgian vehicle damaged,” Prevot said, linking the attack to what he called Israel’s “illegal settlement policy” and pledging to push for further European Union sanctions. French mayor Bernard Baudoux, who was assaulted, told the AFP news agency that the violence suggests that “there is a tolerance on the part of the Israeli government” towards settler violence. Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh, reporting from Ramallah, said the settlers surrounded the diplomats’ vehicles, pelted them with stones and smashed their windows.

Drought conditions could develop or worsen for parts of the northwestern U. S. in the coming months, as meteorologists expect El Niño to help shape the winter season. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issued its winter outlook this week. In it, the agency outlined how the climate pattern could influence temperature and rainfall during winter and said drought conditions are favored to develop or worsen across parts of the northern Rockies. What Is El Niño? El Niño is a naturally recurring climate pattern associated with warmer waters in the Pacific that can influence temperatures and rainfall worldwide. In the U. S., typical El Niño effects can include stormier weather across southern regions, drier conditions in some northern areas and changes in hurricane activity. The Climate Prediction Center said earlier this month that El Niño had continued to strengthen, with chances remaining high for a “strong-to-very strong” event through January to March 2027.
