Jordan's tourism industry struggling as Gaza war deters visitors

Sites such as Petra, Wadi Rum and crusader castles have been drawing visitors for decades - more than one million a year before the war, mainly Americans and Europeans.

Greece's mussel harvest wiped out by warming seas
When Anastasios Zakalkas pulled up the ropes of his mussel farm in the Aegean Sea last month, the devastation was clear: the lines were not heaving with molluscs as they should be at harvest time but were instead filled with cracked, empty shells. It is the second time in three years that record sea temperatures have hit the mussel harvest in northern Greece, where farmers said they saw a 90% drop in the 2024 catch. Like other Mediterranean countries, Greece is particularly susceptible to climate change, which this year led to months of above-average temperatures, punishing drought and wildfires.

Why AP called the Nevada Senate race for Jacky Rosen
Democratic incumbent Sen. Jacky Rosen won reelection early Saturday morning after The Associated Press declared she had beat Republican Sam Brown in a race that turned on Rosen's strong performance in the state's two largest counties — Clark and Washoe. With nearly all of the vote counted, the AP called the race for Rosen. At the time the AP called the race at 12:15 a.m. ET on Saturday, there were not enough votes left to count, according to AP's estimates, in the state's rural areas to make up the gap created by Rosen's performance in the counties that are home to Las Vegas and Reno.

Democratic US Sen. Jacky Rosen is reelected in Nevada, securing battleground seat
Nevada Democratic Sen. Jacky Rosen has won reelection, beating Republican Sam Brown in a tight but unusually quiet race for the battleground state. The first-term senator had campaigned on abortion rights and positioned herself as a nonideological politician, a formula that also worked for the state’s senior senator, Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto, in her own reelection bid two years ago. Brown, a retired Army captain who moved to Nevada from Texas in 2018 and has never held elected office, unsuccessfully tried to ride President-elect Donald Trump's strong showing in the working-class state.
