Architect Mina Hasman wants cities to work like forests

Climate advocate and architect Mina Hasman argues that cities of the future should be designed to function like forests, with individual buildings acting like trees. Her vision centres on integrating natural cooling systems and greenery into urban planning to make cities resilient to rising temperatures. The approach responds to growing climate challenges driven by rapid urbanisation.

Should cities be designed like forests to cope with rising heat?

Ryanair: more passengers, cheaper tickets, but profits drop

Ryanair released its Q1 FY2027 results (April–June 2026), showing a bittersweet picture. Passenger numbers rose and seats remained full, but ticket prices fell significantly, dragging profits noticeably lower. Strong demand is not translating into stronger earnings for the Irish carrier.

Are lower Ryanair ticket prices good news for passengers?

Cuba on the brink — Trump may hasten the end of Castro's regime

Cuba is in the grip of a deep humanitarian crisis, and the communist regime inherited from Fidel Castro appears to be nearing its end. Analysts suggest Donald Trump's policy toward Havana could speed up the collapse. It remains unclear whether the regime will fall due to internal crisis or external pressure.

Should the US militarily intervene to topple Cuba's regime?

Lockheed Martin unveils PAC-3 ACE missile at less than half the cost of PAC-3 MSE

Lockheed Martin has unveiled the PAC-3 Adapted Capability Effector (ACE), a new interceptor missile for the Patriot air-defence system. The manufacturer states the ACE will cost less than half the price of the current PAC-3 MSE round. The lower cost is intended to allow operators to stockpile more missiles within existing budgets.

Will the cheaper PAC-3 ACE missile improve security for Patriot system operators?

Bieszczady best spot in Poland for Perseid meteor shower viewing

The Bieszczady mountains in south-east Poland have the darkest skies in the country, making them the top location for viewing the annual Perseid meteor shower. Low population density and the absence of large cities minimise light pollution, allowing meteors to be seen clearly with the naked eye. The Perseids peak each year in mid-August.

Should protecting dark skies from light pollution be a priority in Poland?

Pharmacist: diet cola is not healthier than regular cola

Diet cola has long been considered a healthier alternative to sugar-sweetened soft drinks, but a pharmacist debunks this claim. Replacing sugar with artificial sweeteners does not remove health risks — those sweeteners may negatively affect gut microbiota and metabolism. Neither drink is recommended as a genuinely healthy choice.

Is diet cola a better choice than regular cola?

Gitkiewicz: Authors Treated as Volunteers in the Book Market

Journalist and author Olga Gitkiewicz criticises the Polish publishing market, arguing that creators are expected to generate symbolic rather than material value, which is used to justify low fees. In the collective imagination, writers are placed above the world of money and bills, leaving them financially vulnerable.

Should Polish authors be paid more for their work?

Petrol at 8 Zloty per Litre Possible If Oil Stays Above $90 a Barrel

eToro analyst Paweł Majtkowski told the "Wstajesz i Wiesz" programme that if global oil prices remain above $90 per barrel for an extended period, Polish drivers could pay as much as 8 złoty per litre for both 95-octane petrol and diesel. He identified the potential escalation of the Middle East conflict as the key risk factor, despite ongoing negotiations.

Should the government intervene if petrol reaches 8 zloty per litre?

Extra Virgin Olive Oil: More Nutrients and Better Flavour than Regular Olive Oil

Extra virgin olive oil is far superior to regular olive oil, delivering valuable plant compounds, polyphenols and healthy monounsaturated fats. It is best used raw – in salads, dips and as a finishing drizzle – to preserve its flavour and health benefits. A good extra virgin oil should have a distinctly fruity, slightly bitter and peppery taste.

Is it worth paying more for extra virgin olive oil instead of regular?

Permafrost Over 13,000 Years Old Found 400 m Below Suwałki

Nearly 400 metres below ground near Suwałki, in the area of Udryn and Szypliszki, geologists have found remnants of permafrost dating back over 13,000 years to the last Ice Age. Scientists had known about the unusual nature of this subsoil since the 1970s. The find is unique in Central Europe and provides direct evidence of the glacial conditions that once prevailed in Poland.
