<image:caption>GLACIER RETREAT: The World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) warned in 2021 that the rate of glacier retreat is “accelerating”, and many glaciers suffered from intense mass losses due to exceptionally warm and dry conditions. Ice retreat at Gorner Glacier in Switzerland is significant, as shown in the comparative images in the relatively short period of 2011 to 2021, losing at least 384 metres. The glacier has declined in both “planimetric” extent and height, becoming covered in a layer of debris as a result. Glaciers that once connected further up the valley have declined and become detached from the main ice flow. Historic length change data from the Glacier Monitoring Service Switzerland (GLAMOS) show that since the late 1800s, Gorner glacier has retreated by nearly 3km.</image:caption>

<image:caption>FINALISSIMA: MESSI HAS THE LAST LAUGH: It may be a friendly, but Lionel Messi will certainly be happy for scoring the brownie points in the Fifa World Cup year as he played a key role in Argentina’s 3-0 rout of Italy at Wembley on Wednesday night. Billed as the battle between the Copa America winners and the European champions, the contest saw Messi as an inspiration as Argentina raced into a two-goal lead in the first half with strikes from Lautaro Martinez and Angel Di Maria. Paulo Dybala capped Argentina’s rout as Messi, thrown into the air by his jubilant teammates after the final whistle, said: ‘’Today was a nice test because Italy are a great team. We knew it was going to be a nice game and a nice setting in which to be champions.’’ [COMMENT BY: Gautam Bhattacharyya, Senior Associate Editor]</image:caption>
