Climate change is hitting mountain regions around the world “more intensely” than lowland areas, putting billions of people at risk.

Australian Senator Pauline Hanson has been barred from Parliament for seven sitting days after entering the Senate wearing a burqa in protest against colleagues who refused to consider her bill to ban the garment nationwide.
