Trump made an appearance yesterday to discuss renewable energy.
OPINION: Renewable energy is the only path to the future
Renewable energy is the only path to the future. This statement might seem to contradict Trump's recent claim: "I don't care about renewable energy". However, most scientists would agree that it would be smart for Mr. Trump to start caring about it. Particularly because renewable energy will decrease unemployment, an issue Trump has been vocal about in the past. Moreover, even though Trump stated that "there's nothing we could do" to stop global warming "even if we reduce carbon emissions to zero", research suggests that the opposite is true. It is not too late for us to save our Earth. If we were to stop our carbon emissions, the Earth's climate would stabilize in the span of a few decades. If we were able to slow down climate change, we could use this time to learn how to adapt to our new environment and develop technology that could help us protect the planet.
OPINION: Children with no childhood
Are we all born with the same rights? In this day and age, most of us would answer with a resounding "yes". However, recent events show that it might be necessary to reevaluate. The mistreatment of infants all across the jail system demonstrates that some of us are stripped of our most basic rights even before being born. In Mexico, for example, the children of female convicts are forced to live in jail until the age of six. It is hard for us to fathom how this will affect these children. Therefore, it is essential to ask: how does spending the first six years of his or her life in prison affect the future of a child? The answer is disheartening. At jail, these children will not be properly fed. They will not receive all of the nutrients they need to develop fully and healthily. This, in turn, will lead to learning disabilities in the future. It is fundamental to understand that living in jail robs children of their childhood. They spend most of their days in nurseries with no toys, and receive no education. Not only this, it also forces them to carry a load they were never supposed to carry. They are harassed into believing that they are guilty of their mother's crimes. We cannot let this situation carry on in this manner. We cannot overlook certain groups of the population and keep on calling ourselves "fair". It is our duty as citizens of the world to fight for equal rights for everyone.

FRANCE: The French nation considers that it is crucial for the Kurdish nation to be globally recognised. Otherwise, they say, they would simply be creating another problem.
UPDATE: Interview of a Mexican teenager who grew up in prison
Interview by Fernanda de Szyszlo, BBC News
What was it like to spend the first six years of your life in prison?
I feel like I was robbed of my innocence. Growing up in prison, I didnât have a normal childhood. Not even close. I felt like I was paying for my motherâs crimes. They made me feel guilty.
They?
Yes. The prison guards. They treated us like criminals and we couldnât understand why. We kept asking ourselves, what is our crime? If we didnât obey their rules, they punished us. We were always terrified. They yelled. They kicked us. They punched us. If they wanted to, they could make us go hungry for days.
Tell us about a normal day in prison.
The guards would wake us up at the same time as the inmates. Sometimes weâd get breakfast. Sometimes⌠we wouldnât. They didnât have food for babies. We just ate whatever they had cooked for our mothers that day. As a result, we got sick frequently. Then, they would just leave us in the nursery. We were barely supervised. No one took care of us. We had nothing to do. We hardly had any toys, and the ones we had were old and broken. We slept in mattresses, together, because there were no cribs.
Did you receive any kind of education?
No. I didnât learn how to read until I got out of prison. I was about seven or eight when I went to school for the first time. On the first day, I was terrified because I was expecting my teachers to be violent, like the prison guards. I thought that violence was normal. I didnât understand why the teacher was being nice to me. I kept waiting for her to start yelling, or to hit us. Thankfully, she never did. I remember feeling like an alien. I realised I didnât know anything. I couldnât relate to any of my classmates. I couldnât count. I didnât know the days of the week. That was when I truly noticed how damaging my childhood had been. I never really recovered from it. I still flinch when someone raises his or her voice.

UPDATE
A video has been leaked from a state prison in California showing a white prison guard beating a black female inmate to death for no apparent reason. In the midst of Trump's tense months in presidency and a rise in hate crimes, this recent case demonstrates the need for a reform on the American justice system. The Black Lives Matter movement is now more relevant than ever. We encourage American authorities to take immediate action to prevent further attacks fueled by racism. In the fight for equal rights, we must not forget those who are not free. They deserve them as much as we do. - Fernanda de Szyszlo BBC News, Claudia Flores CNN
