Why are dead whales mysteriously washing ashore along the East Coast?

Published

Dead whales have been mysteriously washing ashore along the East Coast for months and activists are questioning if new offshore wind development is to blame.

 
Mayors and numerous environmental protection groups have pointed to the construction of offshore windmill projects for possibly playing a role in the death of several whales that have washed ashore.

The Department of Environmental Protection says there is no reason to blame offshore windmill projects.

But, after a second humpback whale washed up dead on the Atlantic City beach, activists are demanding answers, saying there is no record over the past 40-years of a half a dozen whales washing ashore in New York and New Jersey region.

The environmentalists sent a letter to President Joe Biden asking for an investigation into the whale deaths, and questioning if the development of offshore wind is harming the whales.

A helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and his foreign minister crashed on Sunday as it was crossing mountain terrain in heavy fog.

The official said the lives of Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian were “at risk following the helicopter crash”, which happened on the way back from a visit to the border with Azerbaijan in Iran’s northwest.

“We are still hopeful but information coming from the crash site is very concerning,” the official told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity.

State TV quoted an official as saying at least one passenger and one crew member had been in contact with rescuers. It also said the helicopter had been found, though Iran’s Red Crescent denied this report.

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who holds ultimate power with a final say on foreign policy and Iran’s nuclear programme, sought to reassure Iranians, saying there would be no disruption to state affairs. #iran #trending

Why Australia is becoming the new home of the Hollywood blockbuster

Published

on

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured
