'The water war': how drought threatens survival of Sicily's towns
Amid Italian island's worst drought, towns such as Troina are fighting for survival as supplies run dry and tensions rise.
The residents of the small town of Troina in the heart of Sicily, struck by a long and unprecedented drought. When authorities decreed that the little water left in their dam should be shared with the villages of another province, they took action, and, on 30 November, occupied the distribution centre of the reservoir, blocking access.

Silvio Siciliano, 76, (on the right) at the old Ummuru watering hole on the outskirts of town, filling up some water containers. "We cannot use it for drinking or cooking. That's why sometimes we come here and wait in line for hours to fill up some water containers. If God made it rain more and there was an abundance of water, we would be happy to share it with other towns. But it hasn't rained here for months and it hasn't snowed for two years, which would have helped fill the dam with water."

'Water is more valuable than oil': the corporation cashing in on America's drought
In an unprecedented deal, a private company purchased land in a tiny Arizona town - and sold its water rights to a suburb 200 miles away. Local residents fear the agreement has 'opened Pandora's box'
Tucked into the bends of the lower Colorado River, Cibola, Arizona, is a community of about 200 people.
Nearly a decade ago, Greenstone Resource Partners LLC, a private company backed by global investors, bought almost 500 acres of agricultural land here in Cibola. In a first-of-its-kind deal, the company recently sold the water rights tied to the land to the town of Queen Creek, a suburb of Phoenix, for a $14m gross profit. More than 2,000 acre-feet of water from the Colorado River that was once used to irrigate farmland is now flowing, through a canal system, to the taps of homes more than 200 miles away.

Nail salon visits could become a thing of the past for anyone who invests in a new machine that uses artificial intelligence to perform a manicure.
The device, called Nimble, learns the shape, size and curvature of a user's nails for the benefit of a robot arm that mimics the movement of a human nail technician.
The arm can then precisely apply a base coat, two coats of colour and a top coat said to stay chip-free for up to seven days.
The California-based company behind it, Nimble Beauty, says the 270-degree nail-scanning technology uses more than 20 algorithms to calculate polish application and instruct the robotic arm.
A user inserts the vase coat, nail colour and top coat which come in special capsules, into the machine.
The user puts one hand inside and presses a start button which lets off the device scanning, painting and then drying the nails.
Then it’s time for the other hand to go in.
The company has its own range of pre-loaded colour polishes.
