An Italian diver and spearfishing champion on a routine foray in the waters off Sicily recently happened upon the remains of an ancient shipwreck, which Italy’s Ministry of Culture has said is “one of the most important underwater archaeological discoveries of recent years.”The diver, Giacomo de Mola, was exploring about three miles off the coast of Mazara del Vallo in southwestern Sicily with an assistant when sonar revealed an underwater structure that he initially thought was a rock. Visibility was low, but he pushed on, coming upon what he called in a video on social media “the most incredible discovery…

Montana’s Democratic Senate nominee on Monday refused to drop her campaign to clear the way for an independent candidate, setting up a crowded race that is likely to help Republicans win in November. Alani Bankhead made certain with hours to go before Monday’s deadline that she would not step aside to give independent Seth Bodnar — who is backed by former Sen. John Tester (D-Mont.) — a clearer run at Republican Kurt Alme. “I’ll never bow down,” Bankhead said during a press conference ahead of the 7 p.m. Eastern Time deadline to drop out. “I am in this race to…

Hundreds gathered outside the Moscow courthouse, chanting “Russia” and “Yabloko” – the Russian word for “apple” – as the eight-hour hearing dragged on. Many carried apples as a sign of support.Since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, any remaining opposition to the Kremlin has been crushed.Public shows of dissent have been suppressed by wartime censorship laws and can trigger hefty fines or long prison sentences. Because protests are no longer permitted, the Yabloko hearing offered a rare chance for likeminded Russians opposing the war to gather publicly. “For Yabloko. For freedom” was scribbled in chalk…

The comments have been widely criticised by survivors groups and political opponents who said they downplayed the seriousness and lasting trauma of rape.The SCRA, which comprises support groups in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Ayrshire and the Western Isles, said the impacts of rape can last a lifetime, and the crime should never be reduced to a theoretical debate. In an open letter the alliance said: “We are not demonising rape. We are naming it.”The authors strongly opposed the idea of rape existing on a “spectrum”, insisting “there is no hierarchy of rape” and that no survivor should feel compelled to ask whether…

A total solar eclipse, the first that mainland Europe has seen in nearly 30 years, is happening on Wednesday. The moon will swallow the sun whole, casting a shadow hundreds of thousands of miles long onto Earth and plunging part of our world into ephemeral darkness.The main event will begin at about 12:08 p.m. Eastern time in the northernmost part of Russia, and then loop around to pass over Greenland, Iceland and the Atlantic Ocean. It will cut across northern Spain and a tiny corner of Portugal before ending in the Mediterranean Sea. Elsewhere in Europe, northwestern Africa and parts…
