Powering Peace: Can Renewable Energy Help End Africa’s Conflicts?
When armed groups began threatening a community in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) that had recently gained access to solar-powered electricity, something unexpected happened. Rather than flee, residents rushed to protect their mini-grid. They put themselves at risk to keep the lights on.
Ireland looks to strengthen rental market with rules reform
The Irish government published its Residential Tenancies (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill this week, which will introduce a national system of rent control for the country in a move to encourage and strengthen the rental market. The new proposals would mean rent increases for new tenancies after 1 March 2026 could not rise higher than inflation as measured by the consumer price index. Rents cannot rise by more than 2% a year even if inflation is higher than that.

Europe’s Long Overdue Identity Crisis Is Upon Us
The intersection of the three-year-old Ukraine conflict and Donald Trump’s return to the White House has forced Europe to face a rapid sequence of reckonings on the nature of the transatlantic relationship and Europe’s sense of responsibility for its own security. To meet both challenges, the action required is the same – Europe must take immediate steps to update its purpose and identity. Who are the Continent’s lasting allies, partners, and adversaries?
Commercial leasing: businesses setting up in Saudi Arabia must be aware of key rules
These mechanisms may work differently than what is usual in a company’s home jurisdiction. Termination and eviction procedures may also differ so understanding what provisions are in place is crucial for ensuring continuity. Under its ‘Vision 2030’ plan, Saudi Arabia has implemented significant reforms and changes which have created a more favourable business environment and opened up new opportunities for both local and international companies.
Getting the Balance Right
TOPLINE The right balance of burden sharing between the United States and Europe for transatlantic security is important to shared interests, but getting it right is neither simple nor straightforward. Clear agreement on what constitutes security amid increased risk – and how the costs can best be divided – are essential to an effective response. The transatlantic security relationship is far from perfect and often lacks balance.

Chapter 1: SOTF & Sustainable Development
The UN’s Summit of the Future (SOTF) and its resulting Pact for the Future (PFF) is a high-profile vessel for a wide range of aspirations for the UN and multilateralism. This is abundantly evident on the question of sustainable development where progress has stalled or even gone into reverse. Expectations for how much the SOTF/PFF can do on mobilizing resources and will to address gaps in human development must be tempered and anchored in a realistic way ahead.

LOGAN — The Aggies began an intense search for Utah State's next men's basketball head coach after losing Ryan Odom to VCU last year. Odom's departure blew open the transfer portal in Logan, as almost every Aggies player put his name into the portal. That came during a period of already immense transition for the Aggies.

Utah State exits NCAA Tournament at hands of top-seeded Purdue

Aggies' Andy Hill making the most of his time back coaching in Beehive State
Estimated read time: 4-5 minutes LOGAN — Andy Hill is no stranger to Utah.

When he ultimately did leave, he didn't know if he would get the opportunity to return to the state by way of his career.

Estimated read time: 2-3 minutes FORT COLLINS, Colo. — Utah State got blown out on the road by the Colorado State Rams, who led wire-to-wire, falling 75-55 Saturday afternoon. It certainly was not a great outing overall for the Aggies. Utah State got dominated in nearly every facet of the game, struggling on offense, stopping next to nothing on defense, fouling too much, and losing the rebound battle by a large margin.

In front of a 10,000-strong sold out crowd, the game had everything you'd expect between the Broncos and the Aggies: some technical and flagrant fouls, a student-section poster tracking Bronco coach Leon Rice's "tantrums," and an energetic, emotionally-charged atmosphere in the Spectrum.

Though Utah State took an early lead and held it through most of the first half, San Diego State powered ahead to take the lead, and then began to take control of the game before the break, leading 42-36. The physical first half resulted in three of the Aggies' big men in early foul trouble: Isaac Johnson, Karson Templin, and Kalifa Sakho.
No. 17 Utah State beats San Jose State 82-61 behind Osobor's 31 points
Estimated read time: 2-3 minutes LOGAN — Utah State defeated San Jose State 82-61 at home Tuesday. The win wasn't all that pretty, though. The Aggies allowed the Spartans to stay relatively close through a handful of erroneous passes and unforced errors without any intense defensive pressure from the opposition.

Utah State beats UNLV on the road in final seconds for 15th straight win
Estimated read time: 2-3 minutes LAS VEGAS — The Aggies led for a total of eight seconds, but it was enough to notch them a critical road win against the UNLV rebels. Utah State, now riding a 15-game win streak, won 87-86. After an ugly first half, in which Utah State trailed by double digits early, the Aggies fought back in the second half and cut the Rebels' lead to just one or two scores. Each time UNLV extended the lead, the Aggies fought back to give themselves a chance.
Aggies keep win streak alive with strong 2nd half against Wyoming
Estimated read time: 1-2 minutes LOGAN — The 20th-ranked Aggies continued their hot streak against Wyoming at home Tuesday, beating the Cowboys 83-59. After a disappointing first half where the Aggies couldn't create significant separation from the Cowboys, Utah State opened the second half on a 11-0 run, forcing the Cowboys to use a timeout just before the 16 minute media timeout. During the run, Darius Brown connected with Great Osobor for a pair of back-to-back fast break dunks.

Aggies line play in Potato Bowl highlighted a bigger, underlying problem for team
Estimated read time: 2-3 minutes BOISE — Perhaps a bit hidden in the shadow of the 45 points and the 643 total yards the Aggies allowed against Georgia State in the Potato Bowl is the Panthers' whopping 386 rushing yards. Utah State had no answer for the run game, despite recording nine tackles for loss throughout the game. But this was not anything new. Prior to the bowl game, Utah State was ranked as the sixth-worst rushing defense in the FBS in rushing yards allowed per game.
Aggies mashed in Idaho Potato Bowl, fall to Georgia State 45-22
Estimated read time: 2-3 minutes BOISE — Utah State couldn't get much of anything going against Georgia State Saturday and lost 45-22 on the blue turf of the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl.

Aggies' 2024 football recruiting class success began within the team
Estimated read time: 3-4 minutes LOGAN â Utah State football has had some victories in the past few weeks. After last season, where the Aggies lost an innumerable amount of players to the transfer portal and to graduation, the coaching staff reinforced the importance of players to stay put this year.
