All over the world, from temple ruins overrun with tree roots to former war zones bustling with new ecosystems, there are striking examples of nature proving that once humans move out, wildlife has the opportunity to move in.Ta Prohm, CambodiaOriginally known as Rajavihara (royal temple), Ta Prohm was built in honour of King Jayavarman VII’s family.(Alexander Arndt/Alamy Stock Photo via CNN) Used as a backdrop in Angelina Jolie’s 2001 movie “Lara Croft: To...

Live updates | Both sides say close on deal for cease-fire that would free some hostages

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:04:27 GMT

Senior Hamas officials said Tuesday that an agreement could be reached soon in which the militant group would release hostages and Israel would free Palestinian prisoners.
