NEW DELHI (AP) — Indian police raided the offices of a news website that’s under investigation for allegedly receiving funds from China, as well as the homes of several of its journalists, in what critics described as an attack on one of India’s few remaining independent news outlets.The raids came months after Indian authorities searched the BBC’s New Delhi and Mumbai offices over accusations of tax evasion in February.NewsClick, founded in 2009, is known as one of only a few news outlets in India that is willing to criticize Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his government.

Delta landfill in British Columbia would turn into a spot for eagle watching in fall

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 18:41:44 GMT

Fall and winter are some of the busiest months for a raptor rescue operation in Delta, B.C., as it prepares for the annual migration of eagles scavenging at the Metro Vancouver landfill. Martina Versteeg, the raptor care supervisor with Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre, also known as OWL, said it’s a great spot for bird watching as hundreds of eagles converge to gorge at the dump. “It’s quite a sight. There is one on every fence post. It’s quite a remarkable thing,” said Versteeg. But it’s also dangerous for the birds and about 200 eagles are brought into their rescue operation every year with everything from broken wings to infections, lead poisoning and even electrocutions from the nearby power lines. Versteeg said the birds are often hit by vehicles as they try to lift their food and fly into the path of a truck“If they’ve eaten too much food, especially, then they can’t get lift as quick,” she added. Versteeg said they see a lot of eagl...

An additional 25% were employed, while 3% were available for employment and actively seeking employment (unemployed) while in formal education.The dynamics of young people's transition from formal education to the labour market varies significantly among EU countries.
