We created a ranking of 74 countries and territories to assess how appealing they are to these mobile workers. Call it the footloose index. Work

WorkIran should not respond to Israeli strikes, Keir Starmer saysAccording to a statement from the US Department of Defense, Austin reiterated its “ironclad” stance to defend US personnel, Israel and its partners across the Middle East “in the face of threats from Iran and Iran-backed terrorist organisations” and the US’s “determination to prevent any actor from exploiting tensions or expanding the conflict in the region”.

WorkHow Donald Trump Is Making Big Promises to Big BusinessAs he does so, he is sometimes making overt promises about what he will do once he’s in office, a level of explicitness toward individual industries and a handful of billionaires that has rarely been seen in modern presidential politics. WorkWorkFlorida Farmworker Who Suffered Heat Strokes Is Stunned at Ban on Outdoor ProtectionsHe is 75 now and still waking up at 5:30 a.m. six days a week to labor in the fields, putting his wizened body through more and more days of extreme heat.

Over two days in May, the heat index reached 112 degrees Fahrenheit, breaking the previous daily record by 11 degrees.

Lawmaker Voices Support for Giving North Carolina's Electors to TrumpEarly in-person voting in the 13 most-affected counties has fared well so far, despite challenges presented by storm recovery efforts.

WorkWorkWorkHow Jessica Tarlov of 'The Five' Became a Liberal Star on Fox NewsFew, though, have broken out like Ms. Tarlov, a dish-it-out Democratic strategist with a C.V. that reads like a parody of a Manhattan elitist: prep school at Dalton, a degree from Bryn Mawr, a family loft in TriBeCa and a father who produced movies by the liberal provocateur John Waters. (“Right from the heartland,” she jokes.) WorkChina Tightens Its Hold on Minerals Needed to Make Computer ChipsChina is also taking greater corporate ownership over the mining and production of the metals.

Communication with the outside world remains extremely limited. Journalists continue to be killed.” WorkThe Man Who Shaped China's Strongman Rule Has a New Job: Winning TaiwanGiven the opaque nature of Chinese politics, the world often fixates on Mr. Xi, who since taking power in 2012 has centralized control and surrounded himself with loyalists, making it hard to know whose views he most values.
