April 19, 2024 - Iran targeted in aerial attack

Israel carried out a military strike on Iran early Friday, a US official told CNN, in a potentially dangerous escalation of a fast-widening Middle East conflict that Iranian officials have so far sought to play down.

Iran calls Israeli strike 'infiltration' as it downplays attack on Supreme Leader's birthday

US secretary of state Antony Blinken repeatedly refuses to be drawn on the incident, but insists America was not involved "in any offensive operations" and stresses the focus is on de-escalation and avoiding a wider Middle East conflict.

A powerful volcano is erupting. Here’s what that could mean for weather and climate​

April 23, 2024​

In comparison, satellite instruments have estimated Mount Ruang has released an around 300,000 tons of sulfur dioxide so far, though it’s unclear how much of that plume made it into the stratosphere. While that amount is quite massive in its own right, it falls well short of the most extreme case, according to Huey.

An eruption as large as Mount Pinatubo in 1991 could certainly cool the planet for a few years, though it wouldn’t be able to erase the Earth’s current climate woes caused by planet-warming pollution, and it would come at the cost of tremendous damage to life and property.

Like most of these Island "nations" they tend to move with the tides and wind, and who is offering the most to line the hip pocket nerve.

Bodies of murdered Australian, US surfers identified in Mexico

The three men were killed during a camping and surfing trip along Mexico’s Pacific coast.
www.aljazeera.com www.aljazeera.com
The bodies of Australian brothers Callum and Jake Robinson as well as their friend, United States citizen Carter Rhoad, were found at the bottom of a well in the state of Baja California after a days-long search.
Another corpse found at the site had been there longer and was unconnected to the others, officials said.
Baja California, one of Mexico’s most violent states because of organised crime gangs, is also known for its inviting beaches and the Ensenada area is considered among its safer parts.
Many marched with their boards scrawled with messages, including “beaches, security, freedom, peace”, “no more deaths” and “Australia, we are with you”.

I don't know the guts of the story, but if you give open slather on any information, why bother having confidential military info?
Just have the military put it on facebook, or X, or if you wanted to keep it from popular media just put it on the ABC website. Lol
Otherwise, if you want to keep sensitive military info secret, there has to be a penalty.

Yeah I do not know the details of the story either but it's kind of a subjective thing. There are secrets which should be public, and there are things that should be public which are secrets.

Why shouldn't the same apply to the journalists who published it I wonder?
 
Was it McBride that raised the killing of civilians by the SAS
