The Philippine Coastguard said on Thursday that operations to drain 1.4 million litres of industrial fuel oil from a tanker that sank during a typhoon have been postponed for two weeks to ensure that the procedure would be safe. The coastguard said the delay was needed to allow the salvage company to fabricate metal caps that will be used to reinforce the sealing of the valves of the oil containers of the MT Terranova that have initially been sealed using canvas bags. The salvage company told the coastguard that the canvass bags will be replaced with metal caps "for durability during siphoning...

By Becca MILFELD Washington (AFP) - Si les triathlètes des JO-2024 ont finalement été autorisés à nager dans la Seine mercredi à Paris, les nageurs d'un cours d'eau d'une autre capitale attendent toujours: l'Anacostia, qui traverse Washington, attend encore d'être autorisé à la baignade. Connu jusqu'à récemment comme un torrent de détritus aux rives constellées de pneus abandonnés, l'Anacostia a bénéficié d'un grand plan pour la rendre plus propre, comme la Seine en France. Interdite de baignade depuis 1971, la qualité de son eau était suffisamment prometteuse pour que des locaux organisent un...

Washington (AFP) - Pollution may have forced an Olympic triathlon postponement in the Seine, but on the banks of the Anacostia River in Washington, Dennis Chestnut is also canceling his swimming plans, thwarted by similar contamination.

A person has died and some 200,000 households have been left without electricity in Lithuania and neighbouring Latvia as strong storm winds and heavy rain pounded the Baltic nations overnight. A 50-year-old woman was killed in the Lithuanian capital, Vilnius, by a falling tree on Monday, local authorities said. Fire and rescue officials in both countries have received hundreds of emergency calls for fallen trees, damaged cars and flooded roads and fields.
