Across the United States, communities are turning ageing shopping malls, golf courses and vast parking lots into walkable neighbourhoods with homes, shops, parks and public transport. American suburbs were built around the car, with houses far from shops and jobs, so most trips need a vehicle. Transport is the country's biggest source of greenhouse gas emissions, so a place where people can walk, cycle or take a train for daily errands cuts emissions directly. The new designs often add trees, green space and ways to soak up rainwater, which helps residents cope with heat and floods.

Israeli reports also say the cabinet directed the military to prepare for a possible new attack on Iran.

Angkor, near Siem Reap in northern Cambodia, was the capital of the Khmer Empire, which ruled much of mainland Southeast Asia between roughly the 9th and 15th centuries. At its height the city spread across about 3,000 square kilometres, making it the largest pre-industrial city on Earth by area. Its growth depended on water: huge reservoirs called barays, along with canals and embankments, stored monsoon rain and carried it to rice fields. That system let farmers harvest more than once a year and fed a very large population through the dry season. The temple complex of Angkor Wat, built in the early 12th century, is the best-known monument and still stands at the heart of the park.
