What can New York do with its empty office buildings? – BBC News
Building vacancy rates are at a 30-year high in many US cities – including New York, which had a staggering 22.2% of office space sitting empty in the first three months of the year.
So what can be done with all that unused space, as many workers continue to do their jobs remotely?

Poland’s president is among those calling for Ukraine to be granted EU membership, as an estimated 200,000 refugees have crossed into Poland.
One couple at the border, originally from Morocco and living in Ukraine, told the BBC how they have spent over 24 hours on a train followed by a 70km walk to reach the border where refugees were separated into different queues, one for Ukrainians and one for non Ukrainians. The couple have now entered Poland.

Eight people have been killed and hundreds injured in protests in the occupied West Bank.
The number of Palestinians killed in confrontations with Israelis this year, in the area, is already more than 70 – the highest figure in five years.
The worst hotspot for violence has been in the Palestinian village of Beita, where locals began organising the recent protests after hard-line Jewish settlers set up a new outpost on land claimed by Palestinian olive farmers.
The BBC’s Middle East Correspondent, Yolande Knell reports.

At least 734 people have died and more than 2,400 people are missing in Nepal, local officials say, after flash floods on Wednesday, triggered by a glacier collapse.
In Tibet, the official death toll is 16, with 546 reported to be missing, according to Chinese state media.
Nearly 20,000 security forces are deployed in rescue efforts on the Nepal-Tibet border as the UN says rough terrain and rain is making aid delivery “extremely difficult”.

There have been a lot of sanctions programmes against Iran. But this week US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced Operation Economic Outcast, which promises to go further than ever before.
It will punish not just Iran but any country helping Iran – including China. It is the Trump administration’s latest attempt to end the war. Will it work?
We speak to Vali Nasr, professor of international affairs and Middle East studies at Johns Hopkins University, and ask whether in trying to end one war, President Trump risks starting a global trade conflict.

One idea would be to place electric batteries and install solar panels instead of windows and inside also computer servers and and just loaded building with hydroponic systems to grow fresh veggies as well sell energy back sell high end foods and sell rotation. Lots of ideas.

We can make them into tourist attractions. They'll be like our pyramids. Then in a thousand years, people can study them; and talk about how aliens must have built them, because they are also studying old Fox News footage and assume every American was a moron.

Turn those empty buildings to refugee housing. Make an inventory of all vacant buildings nationwide. Spruce them up to become first-class accommodation for refugees for free. The federal government will foot the bill including the lease to the buildings for as long as it takes. Everybody wins. Problem solved.

Yes, I'm sure converting those office buildings into apartments no normal person could afford will definitely help.
I always wanted to live in New York and I finally abandoned it after seven years because the literal cost is just not worth it.
