(CNN) — Investigadores del Acuario de Nueva Inglaterra observaron algo inusual este domingo por la tarde durante un reconocimiento aéreo: un grupo de cuatro orcas nadando a sólo 64 kilómetros al sur de Nantucket, Massachusetts.Según la Administración Nacional Oceánica y Atmosférica, las orcas son más comunes en las zonas que rodean el Ártico y el Caribe. El último avistamiento de una orca en aguas de Massachusetts fue en mayo de 2022.Katherine McKenna, investigadora científica adjunta del Acuario de Nueva Inglaterra, en Boston, fue la primera en avistar el grupo.“Al principio sólo pude ver dos salpicaduras delante del avión”, dijo McKenna en un comunicado de prensa. “Mientras rodeábamos la zona, dos ballenas salieron a la superficie demasiado rápido para saber de qué se trataba. En la tercera salida a la superficie, pudimos echar un buen vistazo y ver la coloración reveladora antes de que las grandes aletas dorsales rompieran la superficie”.Katherine Mc...

German government to present 1st national security strategy to address growing threats

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 19:10:26 GMT

BERLIN (AP) — Germany is unveiling its first comprehensive national security strategy Wednesday in Berlin as part of an effort to address what it views as growing military, economic and social threats to the country.Chancellor Olaf Scholz and four of his top ministers are due to present the new strategy, which has been months in the making. It is seen as a centerpiece of his three-party governing coalition.Russia’s attack on Ukraine has heightened anxiety in Germany about the preparedness of its own armed forces, prompting Scholz to announce a “turning point” on military spending.Resilience against cyberattacks and the dangers posed by climate change will also be part of the new security strategy. Plans to create a national security council, akin to those found in the United States and Britain, have been shelved, however.The Associated Press
