    NEWS - Italien: Beerdigung von 26 jungen Flüchtlingen in Salerno
    The Monumental Cemetery of Salerno was celebrated at the funeral of the twenty-six young migrants recovered from the Cantabrian Spanish ship that was sailed in the city last November 5. All the scars were subjected to autopsy examination, with 26 bodies being able to formally recognize only two corpses by other assisted migrants. For the occasion, he was proclaimed a citizen mourning and the Artist Lights will be turned off, symbolically, for half an hour.

  • REPORTAGE - Was tun mit einem verendeten gestrandeten Wal
    DUK10048742_033
    REPORTAGE - Was tun mit einem verendeten gestrandeten Wal
    WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT. Rob Deaville, Project Manager UK Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme with his team at Holkham Beach, Norfolk, where a fin whale had stranded.
    Whenever a whale or dolphin is found dead on the shores of England or Wales, Deaville gets the call. Working for the UK Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme (CSIP), funded by DEFRA, he has done more postmortems on marine animals than he can count. Each year, about 600 whales, dolphins and porpoises wash up on British shores. About 50 of those are whales, and this is the fourth fin whale stranding this year. Most often it’s a single animal, sometimes two or three. There are myriad reasons why a whale might strand: it may be weakened by infection or starvation, or have been hit by a ship. Some mass strandings have been traced back to naval activity. Sonar seems to lead whales to rise too quickly from deep dives, causing decompression sickness. Pollution takes a toll, too.

    REPORTAGE - Was tun mit einem verendeten gestrandeten Wal
    WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT. Rob Deaville, Project Manager UK Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme with his team at Holkham Beach, Norfolk, where a fin whale had stranded.
    Whenever a whale or dolphin is found dead on the shores of England or Wales, Deaville gets the call. Working for the UK Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme (CSIP), funded by DEFRA, he has done more postmortems on marine animals than he can count. Each year, about 600 whales, dolphins and porpoises wash up on British shores. About 50 of those are whales, and this is the fourth fin whale stranding this year. Most often it’s a single animal, sometimes two or three. There are myriad reasons why a whale might strand: it may be weakened by infection or starvation, or have been hit by a ship. Some mass strandings have been traced back to naval activity. Sonar seems to lead whales to rise too quickly from deep dives, causing decompression sickness. Pollution takes a toll, too.
