Sweden’s plans to mine rare-earth minerals could ruin the lives of Indigenous Sami reindeer herders
SUMMARY: In northern Sweden, Sami reindeer herder Lars-Marcus Kuhmunen faces a threatened future as an expanding iron-ore mine and a planned rare-earth minerals mine at Per Geijer risk fragmenting traditional migration routes vital to Sami culture. The Per Geijer mine could sever migration paths of the Gabna Sami village, endangering their herding way of life, which is central to their identity. Climate change exacerbates challenges by altering ecosystems and food availability for reindeer. While Sweden aims to reduce reliance on China for minerals essential to green technology, Sami communities struggle against powerful mining interests, fearing loss of their heritage and livelihoods.

South Florida faces storms and possible flooding despite quiet peak of hurricane season
SUMMARY: South Florida is experiencing storms and potential flooding despite an unusually quiet peak of hurricane season around September 10th, with little tropical development expected in the Atlantic, Caribbean, or Gulf over the next week. Current showers and storms, fueled by sunshine and moisture, are concentrated inland and along the east coast, with rain chances increasing from Sunday through Monday. Temperatures will rise into the 80s and 90s, triggering afternoon storms. Flooding is a concern due to heavy downpours in the coming days. Water conditions remain good despite a higher-than-normal full moon tide tomorrow, with no marine alerts.
While the tropics remain unusually quiet as the Atlantic hurricane season hits its peak, South Florida is expected to see rounds of showers and thunderstorms through early next week, raising the risk of localized flooding.

President Donald Trump will watch US Open men’s singles final from Rolex suite, AP source says
SUMMARY: President Donald Trump will attend the U.S. Open men’s final at Arthur Ashe Stadium on Sunday, his first appearance since 2015. He will watch from Rolex’s suite, a company that recently faced tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. The U.S. Tennis Association stated that any negative reactions during the match won’t be aired. Trump, who has a history with the tournament, once controlled a suite there but suspended it in 2017. Having a sitting president at the U.S. Open is rare, with Bill Clinton being the last in 2000. Trump’s recent sports event appearances include the Super Bowl and Daytona 500.
