Researchers discover why some frogs have escaped the current amphibian mass extinction

Amphibians are the most threatened vertebrates on Earth, with 41% of species facing extinction. In the highlands of Central and South America, a killer fungus has wiped out much of the once-abundant amphibian diversity. Yet in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, an isolated mountain range in northern Colombia, amphibians still thrive.

A Billion Dollars To Stop Houthi Attacks? Saudi, Pak, Turkey Turn To Tehran Amid Houthi Bloodbath

Saudi Arabia has American missiles, a military and a defence pact with Pakistan and Turkey. Yet it is reportedly offering $1 billion to the Houthis, through Iran, to stop the attacks. The optics are humiliating for a monarchy with $83 billion in weaponry. According to Israel Hayom, Defence Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman flew to Tehran negotiating a ceasefire, though a Saudi official did not confirm any cash changed hands. The Houthis have targeted Saudi airports, oil facilities and trade routes since September, and an October 10 strike on King Khalid International Airport killed 12 civilians. Riyadh reportedly telephoned Trump twice, but received no help. Allies from the Mecca Pact never materialised. Irans security chief Mohsen Rezaei says regional security must come from regional countries, not foreign powers. Is this Tehrans biggest propaganda victory yet? Watch the complete breakdown to see how failed military responses are pushing Washingtons allies toward Irans door.
