Tasmanian salmon farms blocked from using antibiotic florfenicol after detection in wild fish 10km away

Regulator suspends permit due to ‘unacceptable risk’ antibiotic poses to other species in move welcomed by environmental campaigners

Australia’s veterinary medicines regulator has suspended the use of florfenicol in salmon in Tasmania because of the “unacceptable risk” the antibiotic poses to other species.

The Bob Brown Foundation said the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority’s (APVMA) decision was an “indictment of the industrial fish farm companies and their complete disregard for the marine environment”.

US may not have capacity to take down full barrage of Iranian drones, officials warn

Chair of joint chiefs of staff and others in classified meeting said Iran is trying to get US to spend its munitions

Top military officials told lawmakers in a closed door briefing on Tuesday that they may not be able to shoot down every Iranian drone being launched against US military installations and assets in retaliatory attacks, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The officials, led by the chair of the joint chiefs of staff, Gen Dan Caine, said Iran has been deploying thousands of one-way attack drones and while they have capacity to take down the vast majority but not all of the barrage.

‘Only one team tried to play’: Hürzeler hits out at Arsenal after win at Brighton

  • ‘They are doing their own rules, no matter how they play’

  • Arsenal moved seven points clear at top with 1-0 victory

Fabian Hürzeler accused Arsenal of playing by their own rules in a void left by weak Premier League refereeing in a furious broadside at their approach. The Brighton manager boiled over after his team lost 1-0 at home to them on Wednesday night, Bukayo Saka’s early goal moving Arsenal seven points clear at the top of the table.

Hürzeler had called out Mikel Arteta for Arsenal’s time-wasting beforehand and he did not hold back after witnessing a game in which he said there was “only one team who tried to play football”. He raged about how the Arsenal goalkeeper, David Raya, went down injured three times and insisted the authorities had to have stronger rules to help referees or the future of the game would be undermined.

Canadian PM Mark Carney offers to team up with Australia as ‘strategic cousins’ to push back against dominant superpowers

Visiting PM tells Australia’s parliament ‘middle power’ countries must work together on defence, trade and AI

Canada and Australia will be stronger negotiating together with superpowers including Donald Trump’s America, acting as “strategic cousins” rather than competitors, Mark Carney has told the Australian federal parliament.

In a major address in Canberra on the last full day of his visit to Australia, the Canadian prime minister called for enhanced cooperation on critical minerals, defence and trade and announced Australia would join the G7 critical minerals alliance, the largest grouping of democratic countries with major reserves in the world.

Microplastics and Nanoplastics In Urban Air Originate Mainly From Tire Abrasion, Research Reveals

Dustin Destree shares a report from Phys.org: Although plastic particles in the air are increasingly coming into focus, knowledge about their distribution and effects is still limited. Chemical analyses from Leipzig now provide details from Germany for the first time: Around 4% of the particulate matter consists of plastic. Around two-thirds of this comes from tire abrasion. Extrapolated, this means that people in a city like Leipzig inhale approximately 2.1 micrograms of plastic per day through the air, which increases the risk of death from cardiovascular disease by 9% and from lung cancer by 13%. These findings underscore the need to take global action against plastic pollution and to examine air quality and health at the regional level, write researchers from the Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research (TROPOS) and Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg in the journal Communications Earth & Environment. "With around two-thirds of microplastics coming from tire abrasion, this shows that action is needed and that the fine dust problem cannot be solved by switching to electric mobility alone. To protect health, it would be important to also take tire abrasion into account when regulating air quality and to set limits for microplastics in the air," demands Prof. Hartmut Herrmann from TROPOS, who led the study.

The study has been published in the journal Communications Earth & Environment.

Sony Pulls Back From PlayStation Games on PC

Sony is reportedly abandoning its recent push to bring major PlayStation games to PC and will instead keep most single-player titles exclusive to the PlayStation 5. According to Bloomberg, the shift back toward console exclusivity may be driven by weaker PC sales and concerns about diluting the PlayStation brand. From the report: Online games such as Marathon and Marvel Tokon will still be released across multiple platforms, but single-player titles such as last year's samurai hit Ghost of Yotei and the upcoming action game Saros will remain exclusive to PlayStation 5, said the people, who asked not to be identified because they weren't authorized to talk publicly about the company's strategy.

The people cautioned that things could change in the future due to the unpredictable nature of the video-game industry and that Sony's plans are constantly shifting. But in recent weeks PlayStation scrapped plans to bring Ghost of Yotei and other internally developed games to PC. Two games made by external developers but published by PlayStation, Death Stranding 2 and the upcoming Kena: Scars of Kosmora, are still planned for release on PC this year.

Senaat VS stemt tegen resolutie inperken macht Trump

WASHINGTON (ANP) - Een resolutie die de macht van president Donald Trump om aanvallen uit te voeren in Iran zou hebben ingeperkt, is gestrand in de Senaat. Zoals verwacht stemde een meerderheid tegen het voorstel, dat was ingediend door Democraat Tim Kaine en Republikein Rand Paul.

De initiatiefnemers wilden met de resolutie afdwingen dat president Trump parlementaire toestemming moet vragen om verdere aanvallen uit te voeren. Tegenstanders stellen dat het optreden van Trump wettig is en binnen zijn bevoegdheden als opperbevelhebber valt.

Paul was de enige Republikein die voor het aannemen van de resolutie stemde. De Democratische senator John Fetterman stemde tegen.


Honkballers winnen laatste oefenduel voor World Baseball Classic

PORT CHARLOTTE (ANP) - De Nederlandse honkballers hebben twee dagen voor de start van de World Baseball Classic (WBC) het laatste oefenduel met Tampa Bay Rays gewonnen. Het Koninkrijksteam was in Port Charlotte, in Florida, met 11-8 te sterk voor het team uit de Amerikaanse Major League.

Bondscoach Andruw Jones werd deze week geconfronteerd met een positieve dopingtest van international Jurickson Profar, die inmiddels voor een jaar is geschorst. Jones riep woensdag Jakey Josepha op als vervanger voor Profar.

Oranje begint vrijdag aan de WBC, het officieuze WK, met een wedstrijd tegen Venezuela. De ploeg speelt in de groepsfase ook nog tegen Nicaragua, de Dominicaanse Republiek en Israël.
