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.

Albanese distances from Chalmers’ tax proposal on superannuation, amid rising concerns over voter sentiment and retirement savings.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has moved to distance himself from Treasurer Jim Chalmers’ proposal to increase taxes on high-balance superannuation accounts, signalling internal caution as cost-of-living pressures remain front of mind for voters.

The rejection highlights growing sensitivity around retirement savings, with critics warning that changes to super could undermine confidence in the system and spark broader political fallout ahead of future budget negotiations.

As debate continues inside government, questions remain over how Australia balances revenue needs without alienating voters or destabilising long-term savings policy.

U.S. vows to defend Ukraine, seeks Senate approval; Berlin talks advance peace while weighing sovereignty against conflict resolution.

The United States has pledged to protect Ukraine from future Russian attacks, signaling strong support for European security. Washington will also seek Senate approval for its proposed role in the region, highlighting its commitment to defending allies and deterring further aggression.

In Berlin, talks between U.S., Ukrainian, and European leaders have reportedly made significant progress, with discussions focusing on security guarantees and potential frameworks for a peace deal with Russia. Territorial concessions remain a major sticking point, with negotiators carefully weighing Ukraine’s sovereignty against the urgency of ending the conflict.

U.S. officials emphasize that while they hope for a resolution by year-end, they are not applying undue pressure on Ukraine. Proposed security guarantees could include weapons provisions and monitoring mechanisms, echoing NATO’s collective defense commitments, in an effort to strengthen Ukraine’s negotiating position.
