UK special forces allegedly had a policy of executing "fighting age" males in Afghanistan even if they posed no threat, an independent inquiry probing claims of unlawful killings was told on Monday. The inquiry, which opened in March but has now started substantive hearings at London's Royal Courts of Justice, is investigating accusations about the special forces' conduct in Afghanistan between 2010 and 2013. It is examining so-called deliberate detention operations during that period and how allegations of unlawful killings were investigated by Britain's military police, in particular whether there were any cover-ups.

About 65% of CERN's infrastructure was built before 1970, so the Site and Civil Engineering (SCE) department needs to balance preservation with modernisation. Here's how we define our site consolidation priorities. In the past, there would be campaigns to replace windows, then campaigns to replace doors, and so on. But, back in 2021, our approach changed, helped by an increase in budget.

She says she responds the same way trailblazing writer Octavia Butler did: because you can do anything in science fiction. "If you are trying to reimagine the world, it's a lot easier to do that when you can build the world from scratch," Jemisin said. "There's a misconception that these genres are about the future or the past, but they are about our present world - the fears and anger and responses to the present world of the writer.
