Guwahati: A court in Imphal on Sunday (December 31) granted bail to senior editor Wangkhemcha Shamjai, who was arrested for publishing an alleged incendiary report recently in his paper Kangleipakki Meira, a vernacular evening daily in Manipur. Imphal police on Friday (December 29) arrested Shamjai, former president of the All Manipur Working Journalists’ Union (AMWJU), an umbrella body of the scribes of the state. On the same day, he was remanded in three-days police custody by the court. Shamjai (67), was produced before the Judicial Magistrate First Class (Imphal West-II) by the Investigating Officer (IO) of the case on Sunday. Considering the submissions made by the prosecution and Shamjai’s counsel, the court maintained that it is in the view that the accused person (Shamjai) being a senior citizen and being deeply rooted in the society, is not flight risk and also has an issue of heart problem, as such there would be no chance of him in hampering or tempering the investigation. Moreover, the accused is willing to cooperate with the investigation and is ready to furnish surety bond, said the court. Upon this, the court granted bail to Shamjai on personal bond of Rs 50,000 with a surety bond of like amount on certain conditions among others that he should not “directly or indirectly, make any inducement, threat or promise to any person/witness of the prosecution.” He should not try to hamper the investigation or temper with the evidence and that he should co-operate with the IO for investigation and should also appear whenever the IO calls for investigation, the court said. Having granted bail, the court asked Shamjai to appear before it on January 15 next year. His arrest refers to a suo-moto case taken up by Imphal police station for a report published by Kangleipakki Meira which the police alleged could spark tension and promote enmity among communities. Under sections 153/153-A/505(1)(b)/505(2) of the Indian Penal Code, the police booked him. Shamjai’s arrest drew criticisms from various sections, mostly from the media orgnisations– AMWJU, Editors’ Guild Manipur (EGM) and Paomi Welfare Foundation (PWF), political leaders and some philanthropic organisations of which he is the president. Shamjai is also the present chairperson of PWF, a trust set up for the welfare of AMWJU members. In different statements, the media bodies as well as Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee President and senior party legislator K Meghachandra categorically condemned Shamjai’s arrest and sought for his conditional release.

Osaka wins her opening match on return to elite tennis at the Brisbane International BRISBANE, Australia (AP) — Naomi Osaka’s first win at the elite level since becoming a mother didn’t come easily. It did come on Day 1 of the year, though. So that was two items Osaka checked off the list Monday for her comeback to professional tennis. The former No. 1-ranked Osaka was broken while serving for the match at 5-3 in the second set and needed three match points before converting in the tiebreaker for a 6-3, 7-6 (9) victory over Tamara Korpatsch in the first round of the Brisbane International. “I was super nervous the whole time,” Osaka, 26, said of her comeback match against the 28-year-old German player. A two-time Australian and U.S. Open champion, Osaka pulled out of last year’s Australian Open in Melbourne before later revealing she was pregnant. The U.S.-based Japanese player and her partner, rapper Cordae, became parents to daughter Shai in Los Angeles in July. Osaka had only played one game since her first-round exit at the 2022 U.S. Open. She was leading Daria Gavrilova 1-0 at the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo in September of that year before the Australian retired from the match with injury. Osaka said she has a renewed focus on living in the moment when it comes to her tennis. “The last couple years that I played before I had my daughter, I didn’t return as much love as I was given,” she told the crowd at Pat Rafter Arena. "So I really feel like that’s what I want to do in this chapter. "I just really appreciate people coming out and people knowing me and cheering for me. Reigning Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka, Elena Rybakina, Jelena Ostapenko, Victoria Azarenka, Sofia Kenin and Sloane Stephens are also in the 64-player women's draw at the Brisbane International, one of the key tune-up events for the Australian Open in Melbourne. ___ AP tennis: https://apnews.com/hub/tennis

AGARTALA: “Mann ki Baat” – the weekly radio show of Prime Minister Narendra Modi is more popular among people of the country than Mahabharat and Ramayan – the mega TV serials of the 1980s. This was claimed by Tripura chief minister Dr Manik Saha on Sunday (December 31). The Tripura chief minister made this statement after listening to the 108th episode of “Mann Ki Baat” at Town Bardowali along with BJP leaders and workers. “We used to see our mothers and sisters rushing towards TV screens to watch episodes of Mahabharat and Ramayan soaps on Doordarshan every Sunday. Nowadays, we see our mothers and sisters rushing to listen to PM’s Mann Ki Baat on the last Sunday of every month. This programme is more popular than the soaps of the 1980s,” he said. “In the 1980s too, people criticised women rushing to watch TV soaps and even now many criticise those who listen to Mann Ki Baat. But it makes no difference as people know what is what,” he added.

New Year's Eve celebrations roll across Asia, but wars cast a shadow on 2024 - Country: - China Revellers across Asia celebrated the countdown to midnight on New Year's Eve with fireworks and brightly lit signs — offering a hopeful start to 2024 for some, even as the globe's ongoing conflicts raised security concerns and let to muted or even cancelled festivities. As the clock struck midnight in Australia, more than 1 million people — a number equivalent to one in five of the city's residents — watched a 12-minute firework display focused on the Sydney Harbor Bridge from the shore and from boats in the harbour. "It's total madness," said German tourist Janna Thomas, who had waited in line since 7.30 am to secure a prime waterfront location in the Sydney Botanic Garden. Organisers worldwide have readied for large-scale celebrations despite the ongoing wars in Gaza and Ukraine. In New York City, where there have been near-daily protests sparked by the Israel-Hamas war, officials and party organizers said they were prepared to ensure the safety of tens of thousands of revelers who will flood Times Square in the heart of midtown Manhattan. ASIAN NATIONS ARE FIRST TO WELCOME THE NEW YEAR Fireworks exploded up and down the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building, as clocks struck midnight in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. China celebrated relatively quietly, with most major cities banning fireworks over safety and pollution concerns. Still, people gathered and performers danced in colourful costumes in Beijing, while a crowd released wish balloons in Chongqing. During his New Year address, Chinese President Xi Jinping said the country would focus on building momentum for economic recovery in 2024 and pledged China would "surely be reunified" with Taiwan. In Taipei, Taiwan's capital, the mood appeared upbeat as revellers gathered for a fireworks show at the bamboo-shaped Taipei 101 skyscraper, as well as at concerts and other events held throughout the city. In India, thousands of revellers from the financial hub of Mumbai flocked to a bustling promenade to watch the sun set over the Arabian Sea. In New Delhi, fireworks raised concerns that the capital — already infamous for its poor air quality — would be blanketed by a toxic haze on the first morning of the new year. Temple bells rang out across Japan as people gathered at shrines and temples. At the Tsukiji Temple in Tokyo, visitors were given free hot milk and corn soup as they stood in line to strike a big bell, and a pipe-organ concert was held before a majestic altar. POPE HIGHLIGHTS THE HUMAN COST OF WAR At the Vatican, Pope Francis recalled 2023 as a year marked by wartime suffering. During his traditional Sunday blessing from a window overlooking St. Peter's Square, he offered prayers for "the tormented Ukrainian people and the Palestinian and Israeli populations, the Sudanese people and many others." "At the end of the year, we will have the courage to ask ourselves how many human lives have been shattered by armed conflict, how many dead and how much destruction, how much suffering, how much poverty," the pontiff said. GAZA AND UKRAINE WARS GRIND ON In Russia, the country's military actions in Ukraine have overshadowed end-of-year celebrations, with the usual fireworks and concert on Moscow's Red Square cancelled, as they were last year. After shelling in the centre of the Russian border city of Belgorod Saturday killed 24 people, some local authorities across Russia also cancelled their usual firework displays, including in Vladivostok. Millions throughout Russia were expected to have tuned into Russian President Vladimir Putin's New Year's prerecorded address, where he asserted there was no force that could divide Russians and stop the country's development. Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip killed at least 35 people Sunday, hospital officials said, as fighting raged across the tiny enclave a day after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the war will continue for "many more months," resisting international calls for a cease-fire. In Muslim-majority Pakistan, the government has banned all New Year's Eve celebrations in solidarity with the Palestinians. In Iraq, a Christmas tree was decorated with Palestinian flags and symbolic bodies in funeral shrouds, placed beside a liberty monument in central Baghdad. Many Christians in Iraq have cancelled this year's festivities in solidarity with Gaza, and have chosen to limit their celebrations to prayers and rituals. "We hope that the new year, 2024 will be a year of goodness, prosperity, and joy," said Ahmed Ali, a Baghdad resident. GLOBAL TENSIONS SPUR SECURITY VIGILANCE New York Mayor Eric Adams said there were "no specific threats" to his city's annual New Year's Eve bash. Police said they would expand the security perimeter around the party, creating a "buffer zone" that would allow them to head off potential demonstrations. During last year's party, a machete-wielding man attacked three police officers a few blocks from Times Square. Security was also heightened across European cities on Sunday. German authorities said they had detained three more people in connection with a reported threat of a New Year's Eve attack by Islamic extremists on the world-famous Cologne Cathedral. In Berlin, some 4,500 police officers are expected to keep order and avoid riots like a year ago. Police in the German capital issued a ban on the traditional use of fire crackers for several streets across the city. They also banned a pro-Palestinian protest in the Neukoelln neighbourhood of the city, which has seen several pro-Palestinian riots. In Paris, over 1.5 million people are expected to attend celebrations on the Champs-Elysees, with around 90,000 law enforcement officers would be deployed nationwide, top officials said. Celebrations in the French capital will center on the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, including DJ sets, fireworks and video projections on the Arc de Triomphe. In a New Year's message, French President Emmanuel Macron predicted that the 2024 European Parliament elections will be crucial to Ukraine's future and the fate of democracy across Europe.

Environment Canada recently designated the 2023 wildfire season as the top weather story in Canada, which saw almost 90,000 hectares burned in the Coastal Fire Centre alone. BC Wildfire Service says that between April 1 and Oct. 31, 2,245 wildfires were ignited and a total of 2,840,545 hectares of forest were burned in the province. That record is double the previous record of 1.35 million set in 2018. Tens of thousands were also forced to evacuate their homes and hundreds of homes and structures were either lost or damaged. In the Coastal Fire Centre, 365 fires burned up 89,750 hectares and five wildfires of note were recorded. That includes the Cameron Lake Bluffs wildfire that shut down Highway 4 between Parksville and Port Alberni, cutting off most access to the west coast. Senior climatologist with Environment and Climate Change Canada David Phillips says the wildfires this year were the most obvious No. 1 weather story. “The area burned, over half the countries in the world would fit in that area and still have scarred, burnt area left over,” said Phillips. “Take all the fires, the woodland burnt in the United States over the last five years and that still wouldn’t equate to what we burnt this year in Canada.” He adds that we will likely expect to have more wildfires in the future, especially with the impacts of climate change. “I think we should expect to see more wildfires, larger and burning more area,” said Phillips. “Lasting not just the hot summer, but a year, possibly.” BC Wildfire Service says looking into 2024, they will continue to work with the province and other partners to create more resiliency and cooperation with communities and their expertise. “Wildfire prevention and risk mitigation will remain a key focus for community protection, including that of critical infrastructure and special values,” said BC Wildfire Service.

Sultanpur, Sep 26 The Uttar Pradesh Police have arrested the father of the accused who beat a government doctor to death over a land dispute. The accused Ajay Narain Singh is absconding and the police have arrested his father Jagdish Narain Singh. The police have also announced a reward of Rs 50,000 on any information leading to the arrest of the accused. Sultanpur Senior Superintendent of Police Somen Barma said that the main accused, who has three criminal cases registered against him, is on the run. The other two accused booked at the Kotwali police station for the doctor’s murder are unidentified persons. “We have arrested Jagdish Narain Singh, father of the main accused,” said the officer. Meanwhile, city kotwali SHO Ramashish Upadhyay has been suspended for negligence. District Magistrate Jasjeet Kaur said the illegal property acquired by the main murder accused and his family members has been vacated. The family of the deceased has been provided security while financial assistance and a job have been offered to them, he added. On Saturday, the doctor, Ghanshyam Tiwari, 53, was allegedly thrashed and sent home in an e-rickshaw after the brutal attack. The doctor fell unconscious a few minutes later and was taken to the Sultanpur district hospital, where he was declared dead. In her complaint, the victim’s wife, Nisha Tiwari, said that the doctor had purchased two biswa of land from the main accused’s father, Jagdish Narain Singh. “Even after paying the full amount of Rs 50 lakh, we were not given possession of the land,” she said. Police from several police stations and PAC personnel, along with the ADM (administration), SDM (Sadar) and the ASP reached Narainpur village with three JCB machines and removed encroachments worth over Rs 4 crore on the side of the Sultanpur-Varanasi highway. The land was illegally occupied by the accused. The administration and revenue officials also removed illegal encroachments on the land owned by the deceased doctor.

By Jack Kim SEOUL, Jan 1 (Reuters) - North Korean leader Kim Jong Un told the country's military commanders the most powerful means must be mobilized to destroy the United States and South Korea if they choose military confrontation, state media reported on Monday. Kim said the danger of an armed confrontation on the Korean peninsula is fast becoming a reality because of hostile maneuvers by the enemies including the United States, requiring the country to "sharpen the treasured sword" to protect itself. "If the enemy opt for military confrontation ... our army should deal a deadly blow to thoroughly annihilate them by mobilizing all the toughest means and potentialities without moment's hesitation," KCNA news agency quoted Kim as saying. Kim made the comments as he hosted senior military leaders on Sunday at the ruling Workers' Party (WPK) headquarters to congratulate them on the accomplishments made in 2023, the state news agency said. North Korea in 2023 tested its largest ballistic missiles and launched its first military reconnaissance satellite, which Kim has called major advances in modernizing the country's military. The call to upgrade the country's military readiness follows the pledge made at the conclusion of a five-day WPK meeting that ended on Saturday to boost its nuclear arsenal, build military drones and launch three new spy satellites in 2024. The escalation of rhetoric from Kim comes as the United States increased drills with South Korea in the past year, deploying more strategic military assets, including a nuclear missile submarine, aircraft carriers and large bombers. It also comes ahead of a year that will see pivotal elections in both South Korea and the United States, which Pyongyang likely sees as an opportunity to increase its leverage by stepping up a campaign of military pressure. On Monday, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol pledged to accelerate work to complete a missile defence system and a system using U.S. extended deterrence to "fundamentally deter any North Korean nuclear and missile threat." Extended deterrence refers to the strategy of using U.S. military assets including nuclear weapons to deter and, in the event of an attack against an ally, respond. In separate reports, KCNA said Kim hosted a reception for senior members of the ruling party and attended a late night "grand art performance" celebrating the new year at the May Day stadium in Pyongyang, where senior party members, soldiers and members of the diplomatic corps were present. The show featured ice skaters, acrobats and choirs, and fireworks lit up the sky at midnight, as the venue filled "with great happiness and boundless excitement of seeing in the New Year with the benevolent father of the great socialist family."

Asian Games: India’s DOTA 2 team aims to replicate Commonwealth Esports Championships success; set to kick off campaign against Kyrgyzstan & Philippines By IANS | Published: September 26, 2023 10:16 AM2023-09-26T10:16:13+5:302023-09-26T10:20:05+5:30 New Delhi, Sep 26 India's premier DOTA 2 team is gearing up to recreate their stunning success at ... New Delhi, Sep 26 India's premier DOTA 2 team is gearing up to recreate their stunning success at the Commonwealth Esports Championships as they take on Kyrgyzstan and the Philippines in their opening group stage games of the Asian Games 2022 at the China Hangzhou Esports Centre on September 29. Led by skipper Darshan Bata (A35), the skilled DOTA 2 unit comprising Krish Gupta (Krish-), Abhishek Yadav (Abhi-), Ketan Goyal (Evil-Ash), and Shubham Goli (Madness) has been drawn into Group A, where they are scheduled to compete against Kyrgyzstan and the Philippines in Best-of-One (BO1) single round-robin format matches. The top-ranked team from this group will advance to face Nepal in the quarter-finals on September 30. All matches in the elimination stage for DOTA 2 will be contested in the head-to-head, Best-of-Three (BO3) single elimination format. There will be a total of 14 notable teams participating in the title. “As the captain of the team, I feel an immense sense of responsibility and pride in leading the country’s first-ever DOTA 2 team at the Asian Games. The entire team has been practicing constantly in the build-up to the tournament as all of us understand the honor of representing India at such a prestigious competition. With the constant support of ESFI throughout our journey, we are ready to give our all and make the country proud by bringing home a medal,” said Darshan Bata, captain of the Indian DOTA 2 team. The squad sealed their qualification for the Asian Games 2022, by prevailing in the finals of the National Esports Championships (NESC) organized by Esports Federation of India (ESFI) last year. The team’s experienced players Ketan, Abhishek, and Shubham were part of the iconic squad that scripted history by clinching the bronze medal at last year’s inaugural Commonwealth Esports Championships in Birmingham. Sharing his thoughts on the talented team participating in the tournament, Lokesh Suji, Director, Esports Federation of India & Vice President of the Asian Esports Federation (AESF) expressed, "At ESFI, we have witnessed the incredible growth of Esports in India and the extraordinary talent that has emerged from our nation. This DOTA 2 team consists of some of the finest players in the country who have already proved their mettle at the Commonwealth Esports Championships last year. We are confident that they will perform at a similar level in Hangzhou and bring laurels for the country." On Sunday, India's Charanjot Singh and Karman Tikka bowed out of the Asian Games 2022 after suffering hard-fought defeats in EA Sports FC Online. Charanjot suffered a 0:2 defeat to China's Liu Jiacheng in his opening game but bounced back strongly with three consecutive wins. He won by 2:0 against Aristorenas Jorrel of Philippines, 2-1 against Alrowaihi RKM of Bahrain, and 2-0 against Yessentayev Olzhas of Kazakhstan in the Losers Bracket Round 1, 2, and 3 respectively. However, his campaign came to an end after enduring another 0-2 defeat against Liu Jiacheng of China in the Losers Bracket Round 4. The 20-year-old finished in the Top 16. On the other hand, Karman Singh went down fighting in a 1-2 loss against Faqeehi Abdulaziz Abdullatif of Bahrain in his tournament opener. Similar to Charanjot, he too made a strong comeback by defeating Kiswani Abdelrahman of Palestine by 2-1 in the Losers Bracket Round 1 before going down by 1-2 against Aldhafiri Meshari of Kuwait in the Losers Bracket Round 2 to exit the competition. On Tuesday, two of the country’s most distinguished Street Fighter V: Champion Edition athletes, Mayank Prajapati (MiKeYROG) and Ayan Biswas (AYAN01) will embark on their pursuit for a medal from the Round of 32 stage. Mayank will go head to head against TF Rajikhan of Saudi Arabia while his teammate, Ayan Biswas, will be up against K.H.C Nguyen of Vietnam. Following the Street Fighter V: Champion Edition fixtures, the nation’s star-studded League of Legends which has been seeded directly to the quarter-finals will begin its campaign on September 27. As a result of dominating the recently held Central and South Asia seeding event and clinching top seed, the team has gained direct entry into the Top-8 of the tournament and will face Vietnam in its tournament opener.

Former Ugandan steeplechase Olympian Benjamin Kiplagat found fatally stabbed in Kenya Police in Kenya are investigating the slaying of three-time Ugandan Olympian Benjamin Kiplagat, whose body was found with stab wounds inside his brothers car on Sunday morning, a local official said. - Country: - Kenya Police in Kenya are investigating the slaying of three-time Ugandan Olympian Benjamin Kiplagat, whose body was found with stab wounds inside his brother's car on Sunday morning, a local official said. Kiplagat had been driving the car before his body was discovered in the vehicle on the outskirts of Eldoret, a town located 312 kilometers (163 miles) west of Kenya's capital, Nairobi, according to Stephen Okal, police commander from the nearby Moiben area. "This was murder, but we do not know the motive for now," Okal said. As a long-distance runner, Kiplagat specialized in the 3,000-meter steeplechase. He represented Uganda in six World Athletics Championships and at the 2008, 2012 and 2016 Summer Olympics. He reached the semi-finals of the 2012 London Olympics. Athletics Kenya official Barnabas Korir mourned the athlete's death. "We urge the police to speed up investigations and ... book his killers," Korir said.

Washington, Sep 26 The Republican National Committee (RNC) has announced that seven candidates, excluding former US President Donald Trump, are set to clash in the second presidential debate on Wednesday night. The debate, at 9 p.m. on Wednesday is taking place at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California, and will be hosted by the Fox Business Network and Univision, CNN quoted the RNC as saying in a statement late Monday night. The participants are Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, Indian-origin entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, former Vice President Mike Pence, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum. Former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson, who appeared in the first Republican presidential primary debate on August 23, did not meet the RNC’s heightened polling and fundraising standards for Wednesday’s debate. Trump, the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican nomination, will be a no-show after he skipped the first debate as well. On Monday, the former President called the Republican primary debates “stupid” and suggested that he couldbypass them all. “Basically, it’s a job interview. You look at the debates, it’s a job interview, and so far, I’m not too interested,” CNN quoted Trump as saying at a campaign field office in Summerville, South Carolina. New polls released over the weekend from NBC News and The Washington Post/ABC News found Trump with a clear nationwide lead in the Republican primary. NBC showed the former president with 59 per cent support, ahead of DeSantis at 16 per cent, Haley at 7 per cent, Pence and Christie at 4 per cent each, Scott at 3 per cent and Ramaswamy at 2 per cent. The Post/ABC poll put Trump’s support at 54 per cent support to DeSantis’ 15 per cent, with Haley receiving 7 per cent, Pence 6 per cent, Scott 4 per cent, and Christie and Ramaswamy at 3 per cent each. To qualify for the second debate, Republican candidates had to register at least 3 per cent in two national polls or one national poll and two polls from separate early voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina or Nevada. Those polls had to be released at least 48 hours prior to the debate and meet the RNC’s standards. Candidates were also required to have a minimum of 50,000 unique donors, with at least 200 donors in 20 states or territories. Debate participants will also need to sign a pledge committing to supporting the eventual Republican nominee.

Colleges should guarantee employment of young people - Zhambyl rgn governor "Last year, the construction of 14 education facilities totaling KZT 4.9 billion was carried out in our region. 9 schools and 66 kindergartens were commissioned before the academic year. KZT 232.4 million was allocated for the maintenance of 221 educational institutions, and these are 149 schools, 59 kindergartens, and 13 out-of-school institutions. This year, another school is being built. This will completely solve the problem of three-shift schools. The construction of four other schools will continue," said Rakhia Turmakhmanbetova, Head of the Zhambyl Regional Education Department. It is expected that in the next three years, 48 new general education institutions will emerge in the region and 85 existing ones will be thoroughly upgraded. The talented children of the region have a promising future. "Last year, for the seventh year in a row, our schoolchildren won national subject olympiads and scientific project competitions. For six years in a row, at the national science competitions, the Zhambyl team has been recognized as the best in the country," the speaker said. According to the head of the education department, 27,396 students have entered Zhambyl region's 48 technical and vocational education colleges, 35 of which have adopted a dual education system. However, the employment of graduates is of concern. Governor of Zhambyl region Askar Myrzakhmetov assigned to monitor the systematic spending of KZT 7 billion allocated for state educational grants. It is possible to save money by training the specialists that are in demand in the society. The heads of districts are to work on the study of their areas so that to request from among college graduates the specialists, which would be necessary for their districts. The head of the region pointed out that colleges should guarantee the employment of its graduates, underlining the importance of training unemployed youth in the professions which are in demand in the society. It should be mentioned that KZT 106.1 billion was allocated to the education sector in 2018.

Transcript [Tsunami siren] Theo Greenly: That’s a tsunami warning – the siren. [Rustling of footsteps] Theo Greenly: We’re in. I’m going try to get to high ground. Theo Greenly: It’s 11 o’clock at night in July, and I’m in Alaska – alone. Scrambling up a hill overlooking the Bering Sea. [Rustling of footsteps] Theo Greenly: Okay, I’m climbing up this hill. Theo Greenly: I just moved to this island a few weeks ago. I was starting my new career as a radio reporter. I had freelanced for the past few years, but this was my first full-time job. So, one night, I’m out fishing for salmon at a beach outside of town when this woman walks up to me and says, “Hey man. Do you know that there’s a tsunami warning right now?” I did not know there was a tsunami warning. She asked me if I had a vehicle and told me I needed to get to high ground. So, I start driving back to town, but then I realized she isn’t behind me. So, I turn my head to look down at the beach to see if I could spot her car. And that’s when I ran my car off the side of the road. [Rustling of footsteps] Theo Greenly: I can’t believe I drove my car off the side of the road. What did you do, Theo? Theo Greenly: I tried to reverse it. I tried to go forward. I pushed and rocked, but the car was stuck. That’s when I saw the woman’s truck. “Saved” I thought…until it turned up the hill in the opposite direction. I climbed onto the roof of my car and tried to flag her down. But her tail lights disappeared over the ridge. I was alone. [Rustling of footsteps] Theo Greenly: I’ve got to get higher. Theo Greenly: So, I’m scrambling to get up this hill to get to high ground. I have a VHF radio. It’s like a walkie talkie, it’s what they use on boats. So, I turn it on and I listen to the boats that are pulling out of the harbor and into the open ocean. [Radio voice] VHF: First wave expected at 23:50. Theo Greenly: Now, I am a news reporter. I’m supposed to be at the radio station warning the community that there’s this wave of destruction coming. But instead, I’m stranded at the beach. Theo Greenly: I’ve never driven my car off the side of the road and I wait until there’s a fucking tsunami to do it. [Rustling of footsteps] Theo Greenly: I start recording on my phone, because, damnit, if I can’t be at the goddamn radio station, I’m going to be in the goddamn field. Theo Greenly: It’s 11:43. Seven minutes to touchdown. Or what is it? Seven minutes to midnight? The doomsday clock. God, first contact at 11:50? Oh my god. What if I’m not high enough? Theo Greenly: Well, we’re going to leave me stuck up on that mountain for a moment, because I think we need some background. [Video music: “In the Aleutians – Isles of Enchantment”] [Video sound: The Aleutians are a string of island bases extending over a thousand miles westward from the Alaskan peninsula. These islands once considered…] Theo Greenly: This is a U.S. military video from the 1940s. See, the Aleutian Islands played a big role in the United States’ military history. The Japanese actually invaded during World War II. Most people don’t really know about the Aleutian Campaign. So it’s often called “The Forgotten War.” But this place is so much more. This land is ‘Unangam Tanangin’ – the land of the Unangax̂ people. This is a world of snow-capped volcanoes rising out of black seas, breaching humpbacks, tufted puffins, bald eagles and red foxes. I had spent the past ten years living in Los Angeles. I had freelanced for a few radio stations and newspapers, and done a couple internships. But mostly, I was a bartender. When I read the job description, I knew this was the adventure I needed. [Quick military video music] Theo Greenly: “Our award-winning newsroom is located in the Aleutian Islands, the ancestral home of the Unangax̂ People, who have lived in this region for more than 9,000 years. This is a news-rich region that’s surrounded by some of the most productive fishing grounds in the country, and in the middle of an international shipping corridor. You will be one of a handful of journalists based in this thousand-mile region.” Well, I got the job. And in June 2021, I moved to the island of Unalaska. [Quick military video music] Theo Greenly: Now, you can’t understand Alaska radio without understanding a little bit about Alaska itself – long story short: Alaska is huge, the population is small. And the people that live here are spread out in tiny towns and villages all around the state. And most communities aren’t connected by roads or, really, any infrastructure to speak of. So what connects them? The answer is: radio. Of course it’s radio – that’s the whole point of this podcast. You know that’s what I was going to say obviously. Okay, yes, radio connects them. Alaska has built up a robust network of public radio stations. They deliver weather, local events, airplane schedules, music, news and birthdays. All the community stations around the state have their own quirks – as different from one another as a sockeye is from a coho. A humpback from a white whale – okay, you get it. So, over in Bethel in western Alaska there’s KYUK on the Yukon-Kuskokwim River Delta. KYUK: Looks like we’ve got a caller. Welcome to Talk Line. Theo Greenly: Now they happen to be the first Native-owned and operated radio station in the United States. Caller: I know everybody is thinking about fish right now, but I wanted to talk about something else I want for people to think about if they’re out this summer. And that’s moose. Theo Greenly: They do a daily newscast in English and one in Yup’ik. Which is the only language many of the elders speak in the region. KYUK: [Host speaking Yu’pik.] Theo Greenly: Rural Alaska radio stations, especially in western Alaska, they are pretty well-known for their birthday lines, where people call in to wish their loved ones a happy birthday. Here’s one from KDLG in Bristol Bay. Caller: Am I on Open Line? KDLG: Yes you are, Jimmy. You’re our first caller. Caller: Okay, happy birthday, Maya Liuk. Have the happiest birthday today. Today is Tuesday, right? KDLG: Yes, Tuesday. April 12. Caller: My birthday is coming up pretty soon. KDLG: Oh boy! That’s exciting. Theo Greenly: Now, if you haven’t spent time in Alaska, it might be easy to dismiss a birthday show like this as quaint or folksy. But it speaks to the vastness of the region and just how important radio is. It’s this community builder and it brings people, families and friends together over these vast landscapes. Many of these radio stations have a news reporter or two. We’re often the only news outlet for hundreds of miles. There are dozens of reporters like me scattered across the state. Up in the Arctic, you have Desiree Hagen who has been up there solo for about a year now. Desiree Hagen: Arriving with his face covered in ice crystals, Homes gave his dogs a snack and briefly posed for photos as spectators braved the -40 degree cold to greet him. Theo Greenly: 12 hundred miles south: Sage Smiley in Wrangell, covering her corner of the inside passage. Sage Smiley: In the darkness, and especially in the driving wind and sleet, it was impossible to see across the strait to Woronkofski Island. The only visible marker of the barrier between land and sky were the three boats – two fishing vessels and a smaller skiff outlined in coloured Christmas lights bobbing in the black water back and forth next to the dock. Theo Greenly: And Wesley Early holding it down in the big city. Wesley Early: Officials are optimistic that Anchorage will see several days in a row of sunshine and warmth starting Thursday. But, they say, the warmth won’t stick around for long. Reporting in Anchorage, I’m Wesley Early. Theo Greenly: All around the state us have us radio reporters – in Fairbanks, in Haines, in Kodiak, in… wait why am I doing this. There’s already a thing. [Alaska Public Media clip] Theo Greenly: We work in newsrooms of one, two or three, and in the rare cases of the big cities, a handful. We report from fishing boats, helicopters, city halls, and dog sleds. And day after day, we do what we can to keep the public informed. [Music: KUCB newscast theme] Hope McKenney: Coming up on KUCB news: Three volcanoes continue to erupt across the Aleutian Chain and support from the National Science Foundation will aid ice melt modeling – stay tuned. Theo Greenly: Now, that frolicking voice is my news director in Unalaska – Hope McKenney. Hope grew up on a sheep farm in Northern California. She’s been in the radio biz since high school and this is her third year in Unalaska. Before coming up here, she did a stint at a big station in San Francisco. It wasn’t for her. She didn’t like that they made her wear shoes. Hope is the latest in a long line of enterprising news directors who’ve come out here. I can’t tell you about all of them. But there’s at least one more you ought to meet. Allow me to introduce you to KUCB’s very first news director – my good pal, Jim Paulin. Jim Paulin: So when I first started in 1998 as the first news director, they didn’t have much of an antenna like they do now. They had a transmitter inside the city powerhouse. And outside they had a system that looked like a clothes line. I thought it was… Theo Greenly: Jim lives in a cabin out on Captain’s Bay. There’s no water or heat, but it’s practically free and it’s right in the commercial fishing hubbub. Jim’s an old stringer – a newspaper man through and through. He did a few years up in Bristol Bay, then he went to the arctic to report from Kotzebue and he believes in the cause. Jim Paulin: It’s really important to have reporters on the ground and, you know, living in these communities because you don’t get the coverage compared to larger places where there are reporters all the time. Theo Greenly: Jim got to Unalaska during the Wild West days. Crab fishing was booming. Jim Paulin: When he was swept overboard off the crab fishing vessel Exito, another monstrous wave struck the Burning Star the same day, last Wednesday, causing substantial damage but only minor injuries. The wave crashed through the rear house window, disabled the vessel’s electronics and actually stripped the sweat shirt off the crew member at the helm according to a skipper [unintelligible]. Theo Greenly: Jim’s semi-retired now, but he still has his ear to the ground the way only a seasoned newspaper man can. And he’s still writing some. Now, Unalaska has cleaned up since Jim got here in the derby days. We have civilized in the past 20 years. We’re not as rag tag. But, we’re still a little rag tag. Case in point, Maggie Nelson – daughter of a coal miner, Master’s degree in English literature. Together, the three of us, Hope, Maggie and I, produce a daily newscast. Sometimes it’s just one of us running the show while the others are out on reporting trips. And sometimes, it’s all hands on deck. That’s especially true when there’s breaking news like, say, a severe weather event – or at least that’s how it’s supposed to be. [Radio clip: Tsunami warning] KUCB: Attention Unalaska: Our community is currently under a tsunami warning… Theo Greenly: Back on tsunami mountain and I’m not contributing much to the news. Theo Greenly: 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27. At least 27 boats – fishing boats. A barge… Theo Greenly: I’ve been on the hill for a couple hours now. It’s dark, and past the projected wave. But we still haven’t received the “All clear”. Then I see a pair of headlights turn on, way across the bay. That car at the top of the hill is finally coming down. Theo Greenly: Okay, that car on the other side of the hill just turned on and I see their headlights driving down the road. So, I’m trying to get down the hill to the road… [Rustling of footsteps] Theo Greenly: So I book it down that hill. And I’m scrambling down the tundra, trying not to break my ankle and make it onto the road. And I stand in the middle of the gravel road waving my arms. The truck stops. Theo Greenly: I’m the guy who you told that there was a tsunami. Was that you? Theo Greenly: I realize it’s not the same woman as before. Theo Greenly: I drove my car off the side…I’m stuck there. Are you going back to town? Woman: Yeah. Theo Greenly: Do you think that I could come with…I know that this is…my name is Theo, I work at KUCB – at the station. I’m stranded. I went up the hill… Theo Greenly: And she is not having it. She just kind of looks at me blankly. I explain who I am, I name some people in town to prove it. And she starts to become amused by how befuddled I am and so she agrees to take me back to town. When I get back to the station, everybody is there. Maggie is writing an update. She’s has been working with statewide breaking news editors at Anchorage. And I can see that I had a lot to learn. [Music: KUCB newscast theme] Hope McKenney: Researchers looking into the decline of stellar sea lions have noticed that the concentration of mercury levels in lion pups was increasing in some parts of the Aleutian Islands. But what’s causing those mercury levels to rise? KUCB’s Theo Greenly reports that a team of scientists from around the country have teamed up to try to solve that mystery. Theo Greenly: Caroline Funk is sorting through about a hundred small plastic bags. They are laid out across a table in the back room of the Museum of the Aleutians in Unalaska. [Rustling] Caroline Funk: A lot of toes and ribs…here’s a bird bone. Theo Greenly: She is looking through bits and pieces of animal bones found in ancient Unanga village sights across the Aleutian Chain. Caroline Funk: Oh, here we go. That’s why this bag is here. This is a scapula. Theo Greenly: I feel like I won the lottery. We get to report the coolest stories. I mean I get to interview scientists that were doing chemical analysis of ancient seal bones. They cut out slices with a saw. [Drilling noise] Caroline Funk: It smells like a dentist’s office. Theo Greenly: Hope and Maggie and I get to report from helicopters and tug boats – or like this story that Maggie did on a fishing boat. [Clip: Raven Bay] [Clip: Navy warship stops in Dutch Harbor on way to Arctic military exercise] [Clip: The niĝilax̂ makes a comeback after 200 years in obscurity] [Music: Distill. Blue Dot Sessions] Theo Greenly: Now, Alaska has the highest Indigenous population in the United States, per capita: about 20%. But that population is not represented in the state’s newsrooms. And lots of the stories we do up here involve Indigenous affairs. So, there’s a big conversation going on about reporting on communities that aren’t your own and representation in newsrooms. And in Alaska, many people are taking great strides to try to change the representation in newsrooms. Now, we don’t have the time today to really do this conversation justice. And I’m not the person who should be leading such a conversation. What I will do though, is make a couple recommendations. I highly recommend anybody check out the Native American Journalists Association, N.A.J.A. or NAJA. And the other recommendation I want to make is a podcast called Coffee and Quaq and that explores contemporary Alaska Native life. [Music ends] Theo Greenly: Living in Alaska can be really fun. I’ve gone snowboarding down a volcano overlooking the Bering Sea. I spent two weeks camping and kayaking down North America’s biggest fjord. We go fishing, pick berries, have dinner parties and saunas and polar plunges. But it’s also a grind. The daily newscast can be a beast, it’s never ending. I began to notice this trend. It seems that every few months, a reporter leaves their radio station. Often they leave the entire network to take a job in another state. And these e-mails can share a similar tone: “Due to my mental health, I’ve decided to take a break from reporting,” or some such sentiment. First, I dismissed these as being spoiled or something. But I can start to feel it. You’re just never caught up. You’re always behind. It can feel like you’re drowning. But it’s also the most exciting and rewarding job that I’ve ever had. So you know, you’ve got to weigh the pros and cons, gotta weigh the pros and cons. [Music] [Airplane ambience] Theo Greenly: I’m on a Saab-2000 twin prop plane, on my way to go report from the Eastern Aleutians for a month. I’ve been in Alaska for a little more than two years. By now, I can easily tell the difference between a seal and a sea lion. I text the mayor directly when I need a comment for a story. And I can write broadcast copy about as quickly as I can speak it. I’m also wearing sweatpants more than I ever have – like, all the time. Well, technically they’re joggers. The radio station intern meets me at the airport. Theo Greenly: Hi, I find ‘ya? Nice to meet you. Malia: You too, I’m Malia. Theo Greenly: I’m Theo. Malia: Nice to meet you. How long are you here for? Theo Greenly: For a month… Theo Greenly: Malia is a local. She just graduated high school. She shows me the radio station. It’s on the ground floor of city hall. Sand Point has about nine hundred people, mostly fishermen. I’ll mainly be working alone. Malia will be in and out. And if I’m lucky, the radio technician will be there in between fishing trips. Virgil Porter: You really don’t have to do much other than is there a problem there? Yeah. Is this, is this, and then…. Theo Greenly: Virgil Porter – radio technician, salmon fisherman, barstool philosopher and general fount of purple swirling energy force fields. He used to be a reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle. But he saw the writing on the wall. Newspapers were going the way of the California sardine fishery – which collapsed. The fishery collapsed if you ain’t up on your fisheries history. So, Virgil moved to the Shumagins 20 years ago and has been fishing ever since. Virgil Porter: And Theo, once again – you are in the Shumagins for…? Theo Greenly: Reporting, I’m doing some reporting here. Virgil Porter: OK. Excellent. Awesome. Glad to see you here. Well, holy heck, holy heck, glad to have you… Theo Greenly: I get settled in. I go hiking where I can look across the strait to the snow-capped mountains of the Alaska Peninsula. I find sand dollars and agates on the beach. Virgil takes me out on a skiff to Unga Island. We see half a dozen humpbacks, hundreds of puffins, and an abandoned village sight. These things are amazing. But most of my time in Sand Point, I’m alone. I start to wonder what I’m doing in this small town so far away from anyone I know and love. I’m 38. And all the people my age in this town seem to be married with kids. I go to the bar and talk about fishing with folks. And then I head back home. I’ve spent the past two years asking people questions about their lives. And I haven’t really thought too much about my own. [Music: Fisheries report theme] Host: The Alaska fisheries Report is brought to you in part by the Alaska Marine Safety Education Association. Theo Greenly: Well, it’s my first Saturday night in Sand Point. I’ve just poured myself a bourbon and I’m settling in on the couch, listening to the radio. Then, all of a sudden, the house begins to sway. First, I think there’s some heavy machinery driving by…but I’ve been through this before. It feels pretty earthquaky. The shaking subsides and I start to get my bearings. This was a big one. For sure going to trigger a tsunami warning. “Oh god,” I think. “I have to go to work.” I get into the truck and turn on the radio. And it’s already playing the Emergency Alert System. Radio: Alaska daylight time on July 15, an earthquake with preliminary magnitude of 7.3… Theo Greenly: I figured they must have a trigger set up with the Emergency Alert System, or maybe Virgil’s already at the station. Radio: …magnitude 55 miles from Sand Point. Estimated arrival times for the first in a series of tsunami waves are as follows… Theo Greenly: Oh man. Why does this happen any time I go to a new island? Theo Greenly: They figure a little more than an hour before the first tsunami wave is expected. That’s plenty of time to check in at the station, make sure the emergency alert’s all set, go down to the harbor, take some photos of boats leaving, maybe get the harbormaster or someone for a quick comment, then get back up to high ground and write the news. Theo Greenly: Of course, I’m driving into town and all these cars are driving in the opposite direction. As I drive down into the thick of it. [Tsunami warning] Theo Greenly: Nobody is at the radio station, but the Emergency Alert is all set. I drive to the docks and take some pictures of the boats leaving the harbor. Back in the truck, I see a girl in her twenties walking along the road. She looks like she just got off a fishing boat. Everyone is leaving the harbor. But she’s just standing on the side of the road picking wildflowers. Theo Greenly: Are you okay? Do you need a ride to high ground? You’re not worried about the… Girl: I don’t know, do you think that there is actually going to be a tsunami though? Theo Greenly: I think there could be. Alright, well, they say…I mean it’s 11:28 right now. They are saying that the first wave would hit at 12:10. So that’s 40 minutes from now to get to high ground. Girl: I’ll make sure to be at the boat by then. Theo Greenly: Well, okay. The boat has to go out. If you’re on land you’ve got to get to high ground. Girl: Yeah… Theo Greenly: Okay, well… Girl: I’ll be good. Thank you, appreciate it. Good night. Theo Greenly: You too. [Car drives away] Theo Greenly: She did not give a fuck. [Tsunami sirens] Theo Greenly: I’m struck that my two tsunami warning situations involve me either trying to convince a strange woman to get into my truck or to let me into hers. No time to unpack that one. I’ve got to get to high ground. I’m almost back at the house when my phone rings. It’s Teigen from Alaskan Public Media – our breaking-news editor in Anchorage. She’s already working on a story with the reporters from Kodiak, which is also in the tsunami zone. And then I get to work. One person is on the line with the earthquake observatory, another is writing up copy. I submit my pictures. I call the chief of police. And the article is ready to go. I love what I do. I love that I get to work with this network of reporters and editors. I love that I have a protocol for when there’s a tsunami warning. I love that I know the difference between Atka and Attu and Adak and Akutan. They’re islands. But I’m also tired. I’m drowning in stories. The second I hit ‘publish,’ I’m already behind on the next one. You know, when I first moved to Unalaska, I met a local guy who said to me: “There have been a lot of reporters who move up here for a few years. They get their stories. They leave.” Hope and Maggie are on their way out. And I have an itch to move closer to my family down south. KUCB just hired two new reporters, in fact. They’re training now. I think they’re going to be good. Anyway, I could talk about radio all day, but we’re going to have to pick it up another time. I’m on deadline. I’ve got to write the news. [Tsunami warning] Warning: A Tsunami Warning has been issued for this area. Tune to your local radio station for details. Theo Greenly: Tune to your local radio station for details. [Music: KUCB newscast, new theme music] Sofia Stuart-Rasi: You’re listening to KUCB 89.7 FM Unalaska. It’s Monday, July 17, 2023. I’m Sofia Stuart-Rasi with some local news. A magnitude 7.2 earthquake triggered a tsunami warning for the Alaska Peninsula and Kodiak Island late Saturday night. The strong earthquake hit about 60 miles southwest of Sand Point, shortly before 11 at night. A siren sounded in local communities including Sand Point and Kodiak, with officials urging residents to seek higher ground. The tsunami warning was later downgraded to an advisory and was canceled altogether by one in the morning on Sunday… [FADE OUT]

There’s perfect storm-watching weather on the West Coast this week, but Environment Canada is warning people to be careful. Christmas afternoon saw surging stormy seas from Ucluelet to Tofino, and they’re expected to continue until December 28. Tides will reach up to 6 metres, accompanied by strong currents and flooding. Environment Canada says during coastal winter storms beaches can go from completely dry to several feet underwater in seconds. Waves are strong enough to roll logs and may even reach parking lots. Visitors should avoid in-water activities and stay well back from the water’s edge, especially along rocky shorelines or islands. Environment Canada is recommending three locations for stormwatchers to consider: - Kwisitis Visitor Centre’s Observation Deck - Forested trail leading to Lismer Beach - Florencia Bay Look-out Pacific Rim National Park Reserve staff will continue to monitor conditions. Depending on the severity of the flooding seas, select beach parking lots and beach areas in Pacific Rim National Park Reserve may be temporarily closed to protect visitor safety. Any updates can be found online and on the LED screens in place at four locations within the national park reserve. CoastSmart.ca is the go-to place to find the Coastal Safety information you need to make smart decisions when going in the water, or even near it. Be CoastSmart and ‘know before you go’ near the water. Visit the site for storm-watching tips.

Yerevan, Sep 26 Amid fears of ethnic cleansing, thousands of ethnic Armenian refugees have fled Nagorno-Karabakh after Azerbaijan's seizure of the disputed region last week. Addressing reporters on Monday, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan warned that ethnic cleansing is "underway" in the region. "That's happening just now, and that is very unfortunate fact because we were trying to urge international community on that," the BBC quoted Pashinyan as saying.More than 6,500 people have so far crossed into Armenia from the enclave, which is home to a majority of some 120,000 ethnic Armenians.

US Navy helicopters fire at Yemen's Houthi rebels and kill several in latest Red Sea shipping attack Were going to act in a self-defence going forward, a White House official said.In a series of statements, the US Central Command said the crew of the USS Gravely destroyer first shot down two anti-ship ballistic missiles fired at the Singapore-flagged Maersk Hangzhou late Saturday, after the vessel reported getting hit by a missile earlier that evening as it sailed through the Southern Red Sea. Four small boats then attacked the same cargo ship with small arms fire early Sunday and rebels tried to board the vessel, the US Navy said. - Country: - Lebanon The US military said Sunday that its forces opened fire on Houthi rebels after they attacked a cargo ship in the Red Sea, killing several of them in an escalation of the maritime conflict linked to the war in Gaza. "We're going to act in a self-defence going forward," a White House official said. In a series of statements, the US Central Command said the crew of the USS Gravely destroyer first shot down two anti-ship ballistic missiles fired at the Singapore-flagged Maersk Hangzhou late Saturday, after the vessel reported getting hit by a missile earlier that evening as it sailed through the Southern Red Sea. Four small boats then attacked the same cargo ship with small arms fire early Sunday and rebels tried to board the vessel, the US Navy said. Next, the USS Gravely and helicopters from the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower aircraft carrier responded to the Maersk Hangzhou's distress call and issued verbal warnings to the attackers, who responded by firing on the helicopters. "The US Navy helicopters returned fire in self-defence," sinking three of the four boats and killing the people on board while the fourth boat fled the area, the US Central Command said. No harm to US personnel or equipment, or casualties from the cargo ship, were reported. The Houthis acknowledged that 10 of their fighters were killed in the confrontation and warned of consequences. In Washington, a spokesman for the White House National Security Council sidestepped a question about the possibility of a preemptive strike against the Houthis to safeguard commercial shipping in the vital waterway. "I won't say what's on or off the table right now," John Kirby told ABC's "Good Morning America," adding, "We're going to do what we have to do to protect shipping." He said the United States has "significant national security interests in the region" and "we're going to put the kind of forces we need in the region to protect those interests and we're going to act in self-defence going forward." He said the US has made it clear to the Houthis that ''we take these threats seriously and we're going to make the right decisions going forward''. The events surrounding the Maersk Hangzhou represented the 23rd illegal attack by the Houthis on international shipping since November 19, the Central Command said. It was the first time the US Navy said its personnel had killed Houthi fighters since the Red Sea attacks started. For over a month, Iran-backed Houthis have claimed attacks on ships in the Red Sea that they say are either linked to Israel or heading to Israeli ports. They say their attacks aim to end the Israeli air-and-ground offensive in the Gaza Strip that was triggered by the Palestinian militant group Hamas' October 7 attack in southern Israel. However, the links to the ships targeted in the rebel assaults have grown more tenuous as the attacks continue. The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee called on President Joe Biden "to look at what actions need to be taken in Yemen to be able to prevent the Houthis to continue to put commercial and military vessels at risk." Noting Iran's support for Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis, Rep. Mike Turner, R-Ohio, told ABC's 'This Week' that the Biden administration should be more aggressive ''in responding to escalation by Iran''. The Denmark-based shipping giant Maersk, owner of Maersk Hangzhou, said Sunday it would suspend shipping through the Red Sea again after the two attacks on its freighter. "In light of the (most recent) incident — and to give time to investigate the details of the incident and assess the security situation further — it has been decided that all transits through the area will be postponed for the next 48 hours," Maersk was quoted as saying by the Danish public broadcaster DR. On Saturday, the top commander of US naval forces in the Middle East said Houthi rebels have shown no signs of ending their "reckless" attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea even as more nations join the international maritime mission to protect vessels in the vital waterway and trade traffic begins to pick up. Earlier this month, Washington announced the establishment of a new international coalition to protect vessels travelling through the waterway. The United Kingdom, Bahrain, Canada, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Seychelles and Spain are also part of the new maritime security mission. Since the Pentagon announced Operation Prosperity Guardian to counter the attacks just over 10 days ago, 1,200 merchant ships have travelled through the Red Sea region, and none had been hit by drone or missile strikes, Vice Adm. Brad Cooper told The Associated Press in an interview on Saturday. (This story has not been edited by Devdiscourse staff and is auto-generated from a syndicated feed.)

San Francisco, Sep 26 X Corp is planning to soon roll out audio and video calls to premium, subscription-only users, as X CEO Linda Yaccarino confirmed last month that video calls will arrive on the platform as part of its transition into an “everything app.” Tech veteran-turned-investor Chris Messina revealed the new code in X app which supports audio and video calls from other Verified users from people they follow, or from people in their address book. “As hinted in Linda's sizzle reel, X will be adding audio and video calls shortly,” Messina posted on X rival Threads. “You will, of course, have to pay for that feature, because Skype is dead,” he added. According to the feature’s description, “Take messaging to the next level with audio and video calls”. “Turn the feature on and then select who you’re comfortable using it with”. Last month, Yaccarino said that the company is at the verge of breaking even, after it went through a massive churn in the last few months including huge layoffs and platform changes. In her first TV interview since she took over as X Corp CEO, Yaccarino said that video calls are arriving soon on the platform, as it aims to become an “everything app” like China’s WeChat. “I’ve been at the company for eight weeks. The operational run rate right now… we’re pretty close to break even,” she was quoted as saying. The X CEO informed that soon, “you’ll be able to make video chat calls without having to give your phone number to anyone on the platform”. She also spoke about other features like long-form videos and creator subscriptions, along with future plans around digital payments.

“Yama said: The good is one thing and the pleasant another. These two, having different ends, bind a man. It is well with him who chooses the good. He who chooses the pleasant misses the true end. The good and the pleasant approach man; the wise examines both and discriminates between them; the wise prefers the good to the pleasant, but the foolish man chooses the pleasant through love of bodily pleasure.” – Katha Upanishad The context for Death’s routine – Yama is death – is the following: Nachiketas is the son of Wajashrawas, a man who had reached that point in his life when becoming a sage took priority over all else. So he gave away his property. Nachiketas, like the young man in Lewis Carroll’s Father William ("You are old, Father William," the young man said,/"And your hair has become very white;/And yet you incessantly stand on your head--/Do you think, at your age, it is right?"), decided to bother the old man and asked “Father, have you given me to someone?” After being asked three times, Wajashrawas said yes, I’ve given you to Yama – death. Recall that Father William also became impatient with his young man after three questions ("I have answered three questions, and that is enough,"/ Said his father; "don't give yourself airs! /Do you think I can listen all day to such stuff?/ Be off, or I'll kick you down-stairs!"). Nachiketas then proceeded to go to Yama’s house, and spent three days there without eating and drinking. Threes, by the way, haunt this story, as they haunt all stories involving wishes. Sure enough, Yama, impressed by Nachiketas’ ascetic regime, grants him three wishes. Nachiketas’ first wish is to be reconciled with his father. His second wish is for Fire. But Yama balks at his third wish, for Nachiketas wants to know if there is something after death. To know what comes after death puzzles even the gods. But Nachiketas insists. Thus begins the second chapter of the Katha Upanishad, with the verses I quoted above, with death making a primary distinction between the wise, who chose the path of the good, and the foolish, who chose pleasure. In the translation made by Shree Porohit Swami and Englished by Yeats, the verse goes; “Who follows the good, attains sanctity; who follows the pleasant, drops out of the race.” I take this to be teasing us with a sense of paths, tracks, traces – something that lets us follow. But I also like the translation I am quoting: “These two, having different ends, bind a man.” In Calasso’s “The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony”, there is a nice passage about Ananke’s net – Ananke being necessity: “According to Parmenides, being itself is trapped by the “bonds of powerful Ananke’s net.” And in the Platonic vision of things, we find an immense light, “bound in the sky and embracing its whole circumference, the way hempen ropes are gound around the hulls of galleys.” In each case, knots and bonds are essential. Necessity is a bond that curses back on itself, a knotted rope (peirar0 that holds everything within its limits (peras). Dei, a key work, meaning ‘it is necessary’, appears for the first time in the Iliad: “why is it necessary (dei) for the Argives to make war on the Trojans?” That verb form, governed by an impersonal subject, the es of everything that escapes an agent’s will, is traced back by Onians to deo, ‘to bind’, and not to dea, ‘to lack’ as other philologists would have it. It is the same image, observes Onians, “that, without being aware of its meaning in the dark history of the race, we find in a common expression of our own language: ‘it is bound to happen.’ Tracks do form nets. Reading this, I thought surely Callaso would then reference Vernant and Detienne’s wonderfully mysterious book on Cunning among the Greeks, which teases out a variety of binding, rope twisting and corded words to fill in the semantic field of the ruse – of metis. But he doesn’t. Myself, I am reminded of the fact that civilization has long been identified with metalwork – the bronze age, the iron age – rather than work with fabric. When the Spaniards conquered the Incas, they conquered a culture that had inherited another set of assumptions entirely, deriving from knots and nets. Charles Mann makes this point in 1491, going over recent discoveries in Peruvian archaeology that point to the privileged place of netmaking and weaving from the earliest times. And, of course, there are the khipu, the Incan knot language that was assumed, until recently, to be a form of accounting. Gary Urton, a Harvard archaelogist, is the most prominent recent figure to say, not so – there’s words encoded in those knots and filaments. But such a base for civilization, such soft technology, blindsided the Europeans, who couldn’t even see that it was a technology. Even though, of course, knots, strings, fabrics, weaving do have a lively underlife from the Greeks through the Renaissance witches, and of course every marriage is a knot tied. (Although there is a counterknot to prevent marriage – the noueurs d’aiguillettes were persecuted by Parliamentary decree in France). Everything here is so old that it happened in your dreams last night, from the three wishes to the division between the wise and the foolish, the path of the good and the path of pleasure, and the bewilderment that came over you as you went down the path until a wolf appeared… que voy a hacer - je suis perdu…

WRAPUP 7-Israeli jets pound central Gaza as Netanyahu indicates longer war Netanyahu's comments signal no let-up in a campaign that has killed many thousands and levelled much of Gaza, while his vow to restore Israeli control over the enclave's border with Egypt raises new questions over an eventual two-state solution. The Israeli military will release some reservists who were called up to fight Hamas in Gaza, a move it said on Sunday would help the economy as the country prepares for a prolonged war. Israeli jets intensified attacks on central Gaza on Sunday, residents and medics said, as battles raged through the rubble of towns and refugee camps in a war Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said would take "many more months" to end. Netanyahu's comments signal no let-up in a campaign that has killed many thousands and levelled much of Gaza, while his vow to restore Israeli control over the enclave's border with Egypt raises new questions over an eventual two-state solution. The Israeli military will release some reservists who were called up to fight Hamas in Gaza, a move it said on Sunday would help the economy as the country prepares for a prolonged war. Air strikes pounded al-Maghazi and al-Bureij in the centre of Gaza, killing 10 people in one house and driving more to flee to Rafah on the border with Egypt from front lines where Israeli tanks are battling Hamas fighters. An Israeli strike on a house in Khan Younis killed a Palestinian and wounded others, health officials said. A Red Crescent video published on Sunday showed rescuers working in the dark to carry an injured child from smoking rubble in central Gaza. Six people died in a strike on the village of al-Mughraqa outside Gaza City, health officials said. As 2023 drew to a close, Palestinians in Gaza prayed for a ceasefire but had little hope the new year would be better. "Tonight the sky in world countries will be lit by firecrackers, and joyful laughs will fill the air. In Gaza our skies are now filled with Israeli missiles and tank shells that land on innocent, homeless civilians," said Zainab Khalil, 57, a resident from northern Gaza now in Rafah. The stated goal of Israel's military is to eliminate Hamas, the Palestinian militant group that launched a surprise cross-border assault on Israeli towns on Oct. 7, killing 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and grabbing 240 hostages. Israel's air and artillery bombardment has killed more than 21,800 people according to health authorities in Hamas-run Gaza, with many more feared dead in the rubble, and pushed nearly all of its 2.3 million people from their homes. Palestinian health ministry casualty figures do not differentiate between fighters and civilians but the ministry has said that 70% of Gaza's dead are women and people under 18. Israel disputes Palestinian casualty figures and says it has killed 8,000 fighters. Israel blockaded most food, fuel and medicine after the Oct. 7 attack. It said on Sunday that it was ready to let ships from some Western countries deliver aid directly to Gaza's shores after security checks in Cyprus. Gemma Connell, an official with the U.N. humanitarian agency OCHA, said that many of the tens of thousands of people fleeing to Rafah had no possessions and nowhere to sleep. "I just am so fearful that the amount of deaths that we've been seeing is going to increase exponentially both because of this renewed offensive but also because of these conditions which are literally unbelievable," she said. 'WHERE WILL PEOPLE GO?' The United States, Israel's main ally, has urged it to scale down the war and European states have signalled alarm at the extent of Palestinian civilian suffering. However Netanyahu's comments on Saturday, when he said he would not resign despite opinion polls showing his government is broadly unpopular and defended his security record despite the Oct. 7 attack, indicate that there will be no easing anytime soon. Netanyahu said the "the war is at its height" and Israel would have to retake control of Gaza's border with Egypt, an area now crammed with civilians who have fled the carnage across the rest of the enclave. Retaking the border could also constitute a de facto reversal of Israel's 2005 withdrawal from Gaza, raising new questions over the future of the enclave and prospects for a Palestinian state. Washington said Israel should allow a Palestinian government to control Gaza when the conflict is over. "We just take a fundamentally different view here in terms of what post-conflict Gaza needs to look like," White House national security spokesperson John Kirby said on ABC television. Israel's hard-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich fuelled concerns about the offensive's aims on Sunday by calling for Palestinians to leave Gaza and make way for Israelis who could "make the desert bloom." That clashed with the official Israeli government position that Gazans will be able to return to their homes. Smotrich and other hardline coalition ministers have been excluded from the core war cabinet but have pushed to take part in decisions about the conflict. In his last comments as Israeli foreign minister before switching to the energy portfolio on Sunday, Eli Cohen said the border was the likely source of weaponry Hamas had obtained over recent years. Senior Palestinian Authority official Hussein al-Sheikh in the Israeli-occupied West Bank said via social media that Israel taking over the border was evidence of a decision "to completely return the occupation." "We moved here from Khan Younis on the basis that Rafah was a safe place. There is no space in Rafah as it is overcrowded with displaced," said Umm Mohammed, 45, a displaced Palestinian woman sheltering by the border. "If they control the border, where will people go?" she asked, saying that would be "a disaster." MAERSK CARGO SHIP ATTACKED The war risks morphing into a wider regional conflict involving Hamas ally Iran and groups Tehran supports across the Middle East. Israel and Lebanon's Iran-backed Hezbollah have exchanged regular cross-border fire, with the Israeli military saying it struck targets in Lebanon on Sunday. Israel has hit Iran-linked targets in Syria. And Iran-backed groups have attacked U.S. targets in Iraq. Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi group, which has been attacking shipping in the Red Sea for weeks in what it calls a response to Israel's war in Gaza, attacked a Maersk cargo ship, the U.S. military said. U.S. naval helicopters sank three of the four small boats the Houthis had used in Sunday's attack and drove the fourth back to shore, the military said. Israel says 174 of its military personnel have been killed in the Gaza fighting but that its operations are making progress, including by destroying some Hamas tunnels under the enclave. Hamas and Islamic Jihad - both sworn to Israel's destruction - have said that they continue to target Israeli forces operating in the enclave.

By Lidia Kelly Jan 1 (Reuters) - Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy honoured his people's resilience in times of bloodshed in a long and lyrical New Year speech, while Russian leader Vladimir Putin stressed his country's unity in a short and stern message that made only passing reference to the war. The speeches - traditional Dec. 31 messages in both Russia and Ukraine - came as both countries marked the end of the year with increased air attacks on each other's territories. But neither side can point to any major frontline achievements in 2023. "The major result of the year, its main achievement: Ukraine has become stronger," Zelenskiy said in a televised address interspersed with footage of cities under attack and meetings with leaders of Ukraine's Western allies. Mentioning "war" 14 times in his 20-minute message, Zelenskiy also vowed, just like a year ago, that a free Ukraine would prevail. "No matter how many rockets the enemy launches, no matter how many shellings and attacks - vile, merciless, massive - the enemy carries out in an attempt to break Ukrainians, intimidate, knock Ukraine down, drive it underground, we will still rise," he said, dressed in his trademark khaki outfit. Comments by Putin, who faces an election in March, provided a sharp contrast to those of Zelenskiy and also to his own speech last year, when he cast the war as a near-existential fight. This year, he called Russia's soldiers "our heroes," but did not mention Ukraine by name and did not refer to the "special military operation" - his term for the war his invasion unleashed in February 2022. "We have proven more than once that we can solve the most difficult problems and will never retreat, because there is no force that can divide us," Putin said in a four-minute speech, dressed in a suit and a red tie against a backdrop of the Kremlin walls. "We are one country, one big family." The war - the deadliest conflict in Europe since World War II - is nearing its second anniversary, with no end in sight. Thousands have been killed, millions of Ukrainians displaced and countless cities turned to rubble. Neither Putin nor Zelenskiy referred to the 1,000-km (600-mile) front line where Kyiv's counteroffensive had little success and where Moscow has been pushing on with its most recent but slow offensive along the eastern flank aiming to take control of more Ukrainian territory. And while Zelenskiy spoke of 6,000 or so air raid alerts in Ukraine in the past year, Putin made no mention of any attacks - not even an attack Russia says Ukraine carried out on Belgorod in recent days killing at least 24 civilians. Both spoke of the strength of their countries and their people, with Putin saying the future common effort will make Russia and its people stronger and Zelenskiy saying the war had already showed the strength of Ukrainians. "And just like last December 31, today, we say: 'We don't know for sure what the New Year will bring us'," Zelenskiy said. "But this year we can add: 'No matter what it brought, we will be stronger'."

Monarch butterflies are now endangered in Canada. At the beginning of the month, the federal government updated its Species at Risk Act, changing the classification for Monarch butterflies to endangered. The iconic black, orange and white butterflies declined by 50% from 2006 to 2016, mostly because of a decline in milkweed. The butterflies breed in BC, and migrate south to Mexico for winter. Two species of Western bumble bees have also had their status upgraded. One subspecies in particular is threatened by agriculture, residential development, pesticide use, habitat change, and disease transmission from exotic bumble bee species. The occidentalis subspecies has declined by 30% and is now considered threatened. Risks are determined by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada, which also suggests actions to preserve endangered and threatened species. The classifications trigger management changes for the species on federal lands, and requires the federal government to create recovery plans for threatened and endangered species.

Death toll from Brazil dam disaster reaches 99 The dam ruptured on Friday, sending a wave of iron ore waste and mud down the hill, destroying everything in its path, including residential areas, at least two small hotels and a large administrative area of mining giant Vale, owner of the mining complex where the dam was located. No survivors were found on Wednesday, but rescue workers were able to retrieve the bodies of several victims who were at the Vale refectory below the dam when it collapsed. The refectory area was reportedly full of employees at that time, so more bodies of victims are expected to be found here. Out of the 99 bodies retrieved, 57 have already been identified. Another 259 people are still missing, and though rescue teams have not called off searches for survivors, the possibility of finding people alive is widely regarded as very remote. No survivors have been found since Saturday. So far, the muddy waste has traveled almost 100 km down the Paraopeba River. Vale started on Wednesday to install equipment in the river, trying to contain the material and prevent it from reaching the Sao Francisco River, where the Paraopeba disembogues into. The Sao Francisco River is the longest river that runs in entire Brazil, flowing through five states. According to Vale's Chief Executive Fabio Schvartsman, the company would spend 5 billion reals (about 1.36 billion U.S. dollars) in the coming years decommissioning similar dams and cut 10 percent of its output. The company has also promised to pay 100,000 reals (about 27,000 U.S. dollars) as compensation to each victim's family.

Milwaukee New Year's Eve vigil; praying for justice in new year MILWAUKEE - Heads were bowed inside the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist in Milwaukee as dozens closed out the year with a special prayer vigil on Sunday, Dec. 31. The Cathedral Prayer Vigil for Justice provided a space to close out the year by leaning on faith. Some prayers were light-hearted, while others were heavy, carrying the weight of the year. SIGN UP TODAY: Get daily headlines, breaking news emails from FOX6 News "So much anger and war in the country and in the world," said Catherine LaFleur, who attended the vigil. "And people that we have lost, or are afraid we are going to lose, so we are hoping that our prayers make a difference." A difference some are hoping will also help with sadness that comes with grief. "Those people I have lost in the last calendar year, I miss great folks that can’t be replaced and the world is not better off without them here," said Joseph Gartner. Father Tim Kitzke said the church is open to anyone looking to meditate with quiet prayer. "A chance for people to come and ask for the same [...] strength that we need to face the world, especially as we approach New Years," he said. Kitzke believes the sanctuary of peace will serve as a catalyst for change in the new year. FREE DOWNLOAD: Get breaking news alerts in the FOX6 News app for iOS or Android.

Ninety-six years after their first big-screen appearance, two of the most iconic and recognizable characters in the world are sailing straight into the public domain. It marks the first time the characters of Mickey and Minnie Mouse can freely be used by artists, writers, and filmmakers in their artwork, books, or films without the fear of legal action from The Walt Disney Company. "This is the juggernaut. This is it. This is Mickey Mouse," said Duke University School of Law Professor Jennifer Jenkins. But just to be clear, it's not the modern Mickey we know today with his bright red pants and cartoonish voice—it's the mischievous, voiceless, and black-and-white boat captain from "Steamboat Willie." The short film debuted in 1928 as a technical marvel—the first cartoon to feature synchronized sound. But today, the eight-minute animation is remembered more as the work that catapulted the career of Walt Disney, introduced the world to Disney's longest-running mascots, and helped change copyright law as we know it. "I kind of feel like the pipe on the steamboat, like expelling smoke," said Jenkins. "It's so exciting that it's finally here. I mean, when I started my job, as a joke, I had a 'Free the Mouse' bumper sticker." "Steamboat Willie" was originally supposed to enter the public domain in 1984, when the film turned 56, and again in 2004, when the film turned 75. But as Disney became the entertainment powerhouse it still is today, the company lobbied the U.S. government to pass two copyright protection acts to extend its exclusive ownership over the character. Critics referred to this as the "Mickey Mouse Protection Act," but that comes to an end this year. "It's exhilarating. But I've been feeling this exhilarating feeling since 2019, because that's the first time after a 20-year drought that any published work at all entered the public domain in the United States," said Jenkins. The extended copyright terms didn't just stop Mickey and Minnie Mouse from entering the public domain. It also stopped any work of fiction from losing its copyright from 1999 to 2019. That included books like "The Great Gatsby," which entered the public domain in 2021, and A.A. Milne's original "Winnie-the-Pooh," which joined the public the next year. The characters have since been adapted into graphic novels, video games, a Broadway musical, and a horror movie. All of that could likely soon happen to "Steamboat Willie," but that doesn't mean there's no legal risk at all, as Disney can still claim copyright over later iterations of its characters, including the iconic Sorcerer Mickey from the 1940 film "Fantasia." A spokesperson from The Walt Disney Company noted: "More modern versions of Mickey will remain unaffected by the expiration of the Steamboat Willie copyright, and Mickey will continue to play a leading role as a global ambassador for the Walt Disney Company in our storytelling, theme park attractions, and merchandise." Beyond copyright, the House of Mouse also holds a trademark on its famous character, meaning only The Walt Disney Company can use Mickey as its logo and corporate mascot. That means you can't pretend to be The Walt Disney Company by using the Mickey Mouse branding. But if you want to write your own version of "Steamboat Willie," feel free to go full steam ahead.

Amid political turmoil, Bihar assembly speaker reaches Lalu Yadav's residence Amid the political turmoil in Bihar post the resignation of Rajiv Ranjan Singh as JD (U) chief, state assembly Speaker Awadh Bihari Choudhary reached Rashtriya Janta Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Yadav's residence on Sunday. - Country: - India Amid the political turmoil in Bihar post the resignation of Rajiv Ranjan Singh as JD (U) chief, state assembly Speaker Awadh Bihari Choudhary reached Rashtriya Janta Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Yadav's residence on Sunday. The Vidhan Sabha Speaker was accompanied by Environment Minister Tej Pratap. After Singh's resignation as party chief and Nitish Kumar taking over the helm of the party. Meanwhile, the state's political circles are abuzz over Nitish's possible move. The JD(U) on Friday saw a change at its helm as Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar was unanimously re-elected as president of the party at a meeting of the party's national executive in Delhi. This came after Rajiv Ranjan Singh, popularly known as Lalan Singh, resigned from the post. It is not the first time Nitish Kumar has taken over as president of the party. In 2016, he became party president after replacing Sharad Yadav. In 2013, he broke ranks with the NDA after a 17-year alliance following the announcement of Narendra Modi as BJP's prime ministerial candidate. Kumar, who harboured prime ministerial ambitions himself, took offence with BJP nominating Modi for the top post. In 2017, Kumar forged a grand alliance with RJD and Congress and returned as chief minister in 2015. He walked out of the grand alliance in 2017, accusing the RJD of corruption and choking governance in the state. In 2022, Nitish Kumar snapped ties with the BJP once again, alleging the BJP was conspiring against him and trying to influence JD-U MLAs to rebel against him. Earlier, Janata Dal (United) leader Rajiv Ranjan Singh (Lalan Singh), who on Friday resigned as party chief, has termed "untrue and misleading" reports in a section of media about his having to leave the post due to an alleged effort to make RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav Chief Minister of Bihar and said he had voluntarily stepped down due to busyness related to work concerning his constituency. "The news was published prominently in a leading newspaper and some news channels showed that I had to resign in an attempt to make Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav the Chief Minister. A news item has also been published that on December 20, a meeting of a dozen MLAs was held in the office of a minister in which I was also present. The report has talked about a rift in JD-U. This news is completely misleading, and untrue and tarnishes my image," the statement said. "I was in Delhi with the Chief Minister on December 20 and took part in a meeting with all the MPs at the CM's Delhi residence in the evening," it added. The MP alleged that the news was published to "tarnish image" and raised questions about his "37-year-old ties with Nitish Kumarji." Speaking to ANI on Saturday, Sushil Modi claimed that the big churn in the JD (U) has set off a power 'game' in Bihar's primary ruling party and a lot more would happen in the coming days. "We said earlier that only Lalan Singh would be removed as he engineered the exit of 12-13 sitting JD(U) MLAs from the party and even made attempts to install (deputy CM) Tejashwi Yadav as CM by joining hands with Lalu Yadav. However, Nitish Kumar got a whiff of what was about to happen and pre-empted the move. The stepping down of Lalan Singh came as a timely move. It is just the start of a game and a lot is left to happen," he said. However, he ruled out Nitish's return to the NDA, saying there was no way back for him into the saffron fold.

Death toll from Brazilian dam collapse hits 142, with 194 missing Out of the 142 bodies retrieved, 122 have been identified. A total of 194 people, among whom are residents of the destroyed neighborhoods and employees of Vale, the dam's owner, remain missing, Xinhua reports. Rescue teams are working in several areas to find and retrieve more bodies. Some 400 workers are involved in the rescue efforts: half are Minas Gerais state firefighters, while the other half comprised National Public Security Force officers, firefighters from other states and volunteers. Earlier in the day, five engineers and managers who had been arrested for being responsible for the dam collapse were granted habeas corpus by Brazil's Superior Court of Justice and were released. The five professionals, three of them Vale workers and two outsourced workers, either attested to the safety of the dam or were responsible for obtaining permits. The mining waste which escaped from the dam continues to flow down the Paraopeba River, and experts said the river is virtually dead, much like what happened to the Doce River when a similar incident happened in Mariana, also in Minas Gerais state, in late 2015. Several towns located by the river are facing difficulties given the impossibility of using the river as their source of water, and some have declared a state of emergency or calamity. In addition, a study published Tuesday by the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation, a Brazilian public security and epidemiology think tank, estimated that the towns in the vicinity of the Paraopeba River will most likely face outbreaks of mosquito-transmitted diseases such as yellow fever or dengue. A similar situation occurred in the Mariana incident.

A Class B girls basketball team that’s been on the rise in recent years is TGU, and the Titans look to reach new heights this season. Sitting at 9th in the latest media poll, TGU is 8-2 with both losses coming by single digits to Class A schools. The team hopes more postseason success lies ahead for a co-op that has four players back that scored in double figures last season, despite being a team that’s never been to a state tournament in their history. “We’ve always been the underdogs and we’ve liked being the underdogs. I think we’re finally getting the recognition that we have deserved, and it’s taken a lot of drive at practice, drive during games like, we have to know what our goal is. Our end goal is to go to state basketball, and make our mark,” Senior Guard Sophie Bachmeier said. “We’ve been playing together for so long, like three years, and I feel like we have learned to play as a team and once we do that, it’s so fun because we have like four or five people in double digits, because we just know how each other play and it’s fun to get each other involved,” Sophomore Guard Bostyn Bailey said.

SpaceX wrapped up a busy 2023 with a blast of all 33 Raptor engines on its Super Heavy rocket — the most powerful in the world. Footage of the static fire test shows the Super Heavy booster blasting out millions of pounds of thrust as the Raptor engines are put through their paces ahead of the rocket’s next test flight. Static fire of Super Heavy’s 33 Raptor engines ahead of Flight 3 pic.twitter.com/rJqNToMCnU — SpaceX (@SpaceX) December 29, 2023 The Elon Musk-led spaceflight company conducted the engine test at its Starbase facility in Boca Chica, Texas, on Saturday. It’s the same place from where SpaceX will launch the Starship — comprising the first-stage Super Heavy booster and second-stage Starship spacecraft — on its third test flight once it gets permission from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The first two test flights of the Starship, which took place in April and November 2023, ended suddenly when the rockets exploded in midair. However, unlike the maiden flight, the second test achieved stage separation. But SpaceX has yet to achieve an orbital flight with the spacecraft, something it hopes to accomplish during its third test. The FAA is currently conducting an investigation into the second test flight of the Starship. That’s expected to be completed in the coming weeks, paving the way for SpaceX to send the Starship skyward again. Once the rocket is shown to be reliable in flight — and that could took a while yet — SpaceX wants to use it to send the first humans to Mars. Before then, it will be deployed for crew and cargo missions to the lunar surface as part of NASA’s Artemis program. NASA is aiming to land the first woman and first person of color on the moon in 2025 using a modified version of the Starship spacecraft. In that mission, NASA will use its SLS rocket and Orion spacecraft to send the astronauts to lunar orbit, after which they’ll transfer to the Starship HLS lander for the final leg of the journey to the lunar surface. SpaceX has had its busiest year ever in terms of launches, achieving nearly 100 liftoffs with its workhorse Falcon 9 rocket and more powerful Falcon Heavy vehicle. Most missions deployed satellites for various companies and organizations — including for SpaceX’s own internet-from-space Starlink program — while the Falcon 9 was also involved in several crewed missions to and from the International Space Station.

North Korea to launch new satellites, build drones, calling war inevitable Kim lashed out at Washington in lengthy remarks wrapping up five days of ruling party meetings that set economic, military and foreign policy goals for the coming year. "Because of reckless moves by the enemies to invade us, it is a fait accompli that a war can break out at any time on the Korean peninsula," he said, according to state news agency KCNA. North Korea vowed to launch three new spy satellites, build military drones, and boost its nuclear arsenal in 2024 as leader Kim Jong Un said U.S. policy is making war inevitable, state media reported on Sunday. Kim lashed out at Washington in lengthy remarks wrapping up five days of ruling party meetings that set economic, military and foreign policy goals for the coming year. "Because of reckless moves by the enemies to invade us, it is a fait accompli that a war can break out at any time on the Korean peninsula," he said, according to state news agency KCNA. He ordered the military to prepare to "pacify the entire territory of South Korea," including with nuclear bombs if necessary, in response to any attack. Kim's speech comes ahead of a year that will see pivotal elections in both South Korea and the United States. Experts predict North Korea will maintain a campaign of military pressure for leverage around the U.S. presidential elections in November, which could see the return of former President Donald Trump, who traded in both threats and historic diplomacy with Kim. "Pyongyang might be waiting out the U.S. presidential election to see what its provocations can buy it with the next administration," said Leif-Eric Easley, professor of international studies at Ewha Womans University in Seoul. President Joe Biden's administration says it is open to talks, but it imposed new sanctions as North Korea pushed ahead with more missile tests banned under United Nations' sanctions. South Korea's defence ministry condemned Pyongyang's plans to press ahead with its nuclear ambitions. "If North Korea attempts to use nuclear weapons against us, we will retaliate overwhelmingly by utilizing the dramatically strengthened extended deterrence of the ROK-U.S. alliance and the three-axis system, and the Kim Jong-Un regime will face its end," the defense ministry said in a statement. Seoul's Unification Ministry said in a statement analyzing the KCNA report that "further provocation is always possible to highlight North Korea's presence ahead of the U.S. presidential election". "(North Korea) could maintain its hard line stance against the U.S. and anti-American, anti-imperialist solidarity, and also seek opportunities to turn the situation around at the same time." WAR A 'REALISTIC REALITY' The U.S. has also increased drills and deployed more military assets, including nuclear-armed submarines and large aircraft carriers, near the Korean peninsula. Kim said the return of such weapons had completely transformed South Korea into a "forward military base and nuclear arsenal" of the United States. "If we look closely at the confrontational military actions by the enemy forces... the word 'war' has become a realistic reality and not an abstract concept," Kim said. Kim said he has no choice but to press forward with his nuclear ambitions and forge deeper relations with other countries that oppose the United States. North Korea has deep ties with both China and Russia. "North Korea is preparing for further escalation of tension with Washington and Seoul, for at least a year or more, and its hard line policies are likely to be accompanied by efforts for dialogue as well ahead of the U.S. election," Yang Uk, an analyst at the Asan Institute for Policy Studies, said. "Kim is building on his success of the spy satellite to do three more because he knows satellite capabilities are powerful targeting tool for better nuclear command and control." South Korea holds a parliamentary election in April that could impact the domestic and foreign agenda for conservative President Yoon Suk Yeol, who has maintained a hawkish stance toward Pyongyang. Pyongyang has now ruled out the possibility of unifying with South Korea, and the country must fundamentally change its principle and direction toward South Korea, Kim said. "North-South relations are no longer a kinship or homogeneous relationship but have completely become a relationship between two hostile countries, two belligerents at war," he said, calling the South a colonised state completely dependent on the United States for national defence and security. Both Yoon's ruling party and the opposition democratic party slammed the Sunday report and urged North Korea to return to dialogue for peace talks. "If North Korea repeats hostile acts, we will respond strongly using all means and methods ... If the Kim Jong-un regime misjudges the situation and makes a wrong decision, the Republic of Korea will definitely correct it based on its overwhelming power," the ruling People Power Party said in a commentary. Kim also promised to develop the economy, including the metals, chemicals, power, machinery and railway sectors, while modernising wheat facilities to boost production. One key policy goal is to invest in science and technological research at schools, he said. (This story has not been edited by Devdiscourse staff and is auto-generated from a syndicated feed.)

He claimed that the Chief Minister is targeting him to pave the way for his son to win the Lok Sabha elections next year. Siddaramaiah dismissed the allegations, saying that only those who violate rules are arrested and not the innocent. Pratap Simha was reacting to his brother Vikram Simha's arrest in connection with the felling of a large number of trees in a farm in Hassan to grow ginger. Vikram was arrested on Saturday evening and taken to the hospital for a medical check-up today. ''My brother's name was not there in the FIR earlier. He wasn't even absconding. Yet, he was arrested,'' the Mysuru-Kodagu BJP MP told reporters here. Simha further claimed that the CM will not stop with the arrest. ''For your (Siddaramaiah) son's political future, you will make all the efforts to trample Pratap Simha. You will defame me and drag my family into this. You are trying to frame my brother,'' the MP alleged. Simha charged that the Chief Minister is trying to rehabilitate his son Yathindra, who gave up the Varuna seat to enable his father contest the Assembly elections from the constituency in May this year. ''For his son's future, Siddaramaiah is out to finish my family. Please arrest my elderly mother and sister also but I want to tell you that the people of Mysuru-Kodagu are with me,'' the MP said. Speaking to reporters here, the Chief Minister rejected the charges. ''Whoever violates rules will be arrested. Why will someone be arrested without any reason,'' Siddaramaiah sought to know. He said no innocent person will be harmed in his tenure. Rejecting Simha's allegations, Karnataka Forest Minister Eshwar Khandre said action would follow when trees worth crores of rupees are felled illegally. State Home Minister Dr G Parameshwara too denied Simha's charges, saying those who violated law have to face the consequences.
