Russian ‘Shadow Fleet’ Tanker Returns to Channel: Forwarder Sails Anew

A teenage tourist touring New York was fatally injured when he fell from a horse‑drawn carriage in Central Park. The driver, attempting to photograph the riders, let the horse loose, which then bolted and collided with another carriage before toppling over. The incident follows the death of a carriage horse and has reignited debate over animal welfare and public safety. City officials, animal rights groups and council members have urged the city to enact legislation that would phase out horse‑drawn carriage rides within two years.

Apple will raise prices on its next devices as the cost of memory chips skyrockets, driven by the AI boom and geopolitical supply disruptions. Cook called the price hike "unavoidable" due to unsustainable chip conditions. The increase may affect the upcoming iPhone 18 and other Apple products, with rivals like Samsung, Sony, and Nintendo also raising prices. Analysts expect a 20% global smartphone price spike by 2026.

Scientists using drone surveys and on‑site sampling have recorded that more than 13,000 baby southern elephant seals—over three‑quarters of a 17,000‑strong population—died from the H5N1 strain on Heard Island. The outbreak also harmed penguins and revealed a broader pattern of disease moving eastward through sub‑Antarctic islands. Australian authorities warn that the virus could reach the mainland, and the Australian Antarctic Programme will monitor the territory for further cases while engaging citizen science to aid surveillance.
