The force that through the green fuse drives the flower / Drives my green age; that blasts the roots of trees / Is my destroyer. / And I am dumb to tell the crooked rose / My youth is bent by the same wintry fever¡¦.by Dylan Thomas

The SNP's goal is for Scotland to leave the United ´ä·Ê¶±=´ä·ÊÇ° ´ä·Ê¶± Çà»ç¶± ±îÄ¡¶± Kingdom and rejoin the EU as an independent member state. But how could this happen?
Why is Scottish independence back in the spotlight?
Scotland held an independence referendum in À̹ÌÅ×À̼ÇÀÏ´ëÀÏ À̹ÌÅ×À̼ǻçÀÔ À̹ÌÅ×À̼ǵµ¸Å=À̹ÌÅ×À̼ÇÀÏ´ëÀÏ À̹ÌÅ×À̼ǻçÀÔ À̹ÌÅ×À̼ǵµ¸Å September 2014, with the No campaign winning 55% of the votes.
But then, in 2016, Brexit happened. Voters in Scotland backed Remain by 62% - ºÏ¾ÆÇöµ¿Æ÷ÀåÀÌ»ç but those across the UK as a whole voted Leave by 52%.
The SNP saw this as a "material change in À̹ÌÅ×À̼Ƿ¹Çø®Ä« À̹ÌÅ×À̼ǹ̷¯±Þ À̹ÌÅ×À̼Çsa±Þ=À̹ÌÅ×À̼Ƿ¹Çø®Ä« À̹ÌÅ×À̼ǹ̷¯±Þ À̹ÌÅ×À̼Çsa±Þ circumstances" which ³²ÀÚ¸íÇ°·¹Çø®Ä«=³²ÀÚ¸íÇ°·¹Çø®Ä« would justify a second independence ´ä½Ê¸®¿ë´ÞÀÌ»ç ballot, because Scotland faced being taken out of the EU "against its will".
And the party has since performed strongly in elections. It won 48 of the 59 ¼ö¿øÀÌ»ñÁü¼¾ÅÍ seats north of the border in last week's general election, while campaigning to "put Scotland's future in Scotland's hands".
Ms Sturgeon, ´ä·Ê¶±=´ä·ÊÇ° ´ä·Ê¶± Çà»ç¶± ±îÄ¡¶± the SNP leader, says this would ensure the referendum result was seen as being entirely legal and legitimate, particularly by the EU.
What if Boris Johnson says no?
The first minister's position is that Mr Johnson and the °í·Á´ë¿ë´ÞÀÌ»ç Conservatives may "rage against reality" for a while, but will ultimately have to give in to "democracy".
She has warned that "you can't hold Scotland in the ¸¸¾È±¸Æ÷ÀåÀÌ»ç union against its will".
If these political arguments do not budge Mr Johnson, the first À̹ÌÅ×À̼ǵµ¸Å=À̹ÌÅ×À̼ǵµ¸Å minister has not ruled out taking him to court. This route carries risks, as success is not guaranteed and it could take up valuable time, but some in the È«Äása±Þ È«Äá¼îÇÎ À̹ÌÅ×À̼ǼîÇθô=È«Äása±Þ È«Äá¼îÇÎ À̹ÌÅ×À̼ǼîÇθô SNP are keen.
One thing Ms Sturgeon has ruled out is an unauthorised ȼºÆ÷ÀåÀÌ»ç vote. She says the example of Catalonia proves this "does not lead to independence".
What is climate change doing to Australia?
According ÀºÆò±¸Æ÷ÀåÀÌ»ç to Bom, Australia has warmed overall by just over 1C since 1910, with most of the heating occurring since 1950.
Nine of Australia's top 10 hottest ¸íÇ°·¹Çø®Ä«=¸íÇ°·¹Çø®Ä« years on record have all occurred since 2005.
Officials predicts that 2019, on the temperatures ±Ýõ±¸Æ÷ÀåÀÌ»ç recorded so far, will be among the four warmest years on record. Bom says it's expecting national mean °úõ¿ø·ëÀÌ»ç temperatures to be at least 1.3C above the long-term average of 27.5C.
That heat has helped create the ±Ýõ±¸¿ë´ÞÀÌ»ç conditions for natural disasters like bushfires, droughts and floods - which have always happened in Australia - to be Çϳ²Æ÷ÀåÀÌ»ç more frequent and more severe.
Vast areas of the nation are struggling ´ä·Ê¶±=´ä·ÊÇ° ´ä·Ê¶± Çà»ç¶± ±îÄ¡¶± through a second and third year of drought. According to the measurements for 2019 so far, the year has been Australia's driest in over a century.

The difference between the two temperatures ´ä·Ê¶±=´ä·ÊÇ° ´ä·Ê¶± Çà»ç¶± ±îÄ¡¶± is currently the strongest in 60 years. The warmer waters cause higher-than-average rains in the western Indian Ocean region, leading to flooding, and drier conditions across South East Asia and Australia.

The Bureau of ¼öÁö¿ë´ÞÀÌ»ç Meteorology (Bom) said "extensive" heat on Tuesday Àϻ꼱¸Æ÷ÀåÀÌ»ç tipped the mercury past the previous record of 40.3C set on 7 January 2013.
Taking the average of °ºÏÆ÷ÀåÀÌ»ç maximum temperatures across the country is the most accurate measure of a heatwave.
Forecasters had predicted the most ´ä·Ê¶±=´ä·ÊÇ° ´ä·Ê¶± Çà»ç¶± ±îÄ¡¶± intense heat would come later in the week, meaning the record could be broken again.
As hundreds of fires rage, Prime Minister Scott Morrison has been criticised for his response to the natural disasters and his government's climate policies.

What happens on Wednesday?
Mr Trump is facing two ¸íÇ°·¹Çø®Ä«½Å¹ß=¸íÇ°·¹Çø®Ä«½Å¹ß impeachment charges: obstruction of Congress, by refusing to co-operate with the impeachment probe, barring staff from testifying, and holding back documentary evidence; and attempting °³²±¸Æ÷ÀåÀÌ»ç to use his office to pressure Ukraine to investigate his Democratic political rival Joe Biden.
The Senate is controlled by the president's Republican Party. Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell outraged Democrats last week when he said Republican ´ä·Ê¶±=´ä·ÊÇ° ´ä·Ê¶± Çà»ç¶± ±îÄ¡¶± senators would act in "total co-ordination" with the president's team during the trial and vote against the process.

President Donald Trump has lashed out over his impending µ¿´ë¹®±¸Æ÷ÀåÀÌ»ç impeachment in an irate letter to top Democrat Nancy Pelosi, accusing her of declaring "open war on American democracy".
With little hope of changing the outcome of Wednesday's vote in the House, Mr Trump used his six-page letter to angrily rail against the ´ä·Ê¶±=´ä·ÊÇ° ´ä·Ê¶± Çà»ç¶± ±îÄ¡¶± process and denounce Ms Pelosi, the Democratic Speaker of the House.
It was a remarkable intervention by the president, who has fought to stymie the impeachment process by preventing key aides from testifying before the House of Representatives.
