A suspected Russian diplomat is occupying a proposed embassy site vetoed by Australia

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:49:44 GMT

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — A suspected Russian diplomat is apparently squatting on the site of Moscow’s proposed new embassy in Canberra after the Australian government vetoed the plan on security grounds and passed legislation that Russia will try to overturn in Australia’s highest court. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese dismissed the Russian act of defiance in occupying the site, saying on Friday that a “bloke standing in the cold on a bit of grass in Canberra is not a threat to our national security.”Albanese also said he was confident that the eviction would stand up to any Russian legal challenge.Parliament passed emergency legislation last week blocking on security grounds Russia’s lease on the largely empty block because the new embassy would have been too close to Parliament House.A man has been living on the site in a portable building since Sunday, when passersby first saw Australian Federal Police outside the fenced block in Canberra’s Yarralumla diplomat...

Japanese fisheries head opposes a plan to pump treated radioactive water from Fukushima into the sea

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:49:44 GMT

TOKYO (AP) — The head of Japan’s national fisheries cooperatives has reiterated his group’s opposition to the planned discharge of treated radioactive water into the sea from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear power plant, demanding the government take full responsibility for any negative impact on the industry.“We cannot support the government’s stance that an ocean release is the only solution,” said Masanobu Sakamoto, president of JF Zengyoren, or the National Federation of Fisheries Cooperatives.A release is expected to begin this summer, though the exact date has not been set. Sakamoto met Economy and Trade Minister Yasutoshi Nishimura on Thursday and handed him a statement of objection to the treated wastewater release plan. “Whether to release the water into the sea or not is a government decision, and in that case we want the government to fully take responsibility,” he told reporters after meeting with Nishimura. Japan’s government announced plans in April 2021 to graduall...

El desastre del Titanic condujo a un replanteamiento de las regulaciones internacionales. El caso del Titán puede tener un legado similar

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:49:44 GMT

(CNN) — Después de que el RMS Titanic se hundiera en su viaje inaugural a través del Atlántico en 1912, los gobiernos de ambos lados del océano analizaron detenidamente si se podría haber hecho más para proteger a las aproximadamente 2.200 personas a bordo, incluidas las más de 1.500 que murieron ese trágico día.El resultado fue la Convención para la Seguridad de la Vida Humana en el Mar (SOLAS). Su marco, aprobado en 1914, se mantiene hasta el día de hoy, con muchas de sus reglas que evolucionan directamente de la tragedia del Titanic.Con la implosión del submarino Titán cuando avanzaba hacia los restos del Titanic esta semana, los expertos dicen que puede haber un impulso para las reglas que rigen el nuevo turismo de alto nivel y altos precios del tipo que hace OceanGate Expeditions, la compañía que manejaba el Titán.El Titanic zarpa de Southampton, Gran Bretaña, 1912.
