Her calf is dead but an orca mother has been spotted in a heartbreaking exhibition of maternal care - or grief - gently trying to keep her offspring afloat. As the carcase sinks in the water she has been gently using her forehead to prop it out of the water and nudge it onwards in choppy seas for the past two days, according to researchers who say the population of whales along the British Columbia coastline is struggling to reproduce. Ken Balcomb of the Centre for Whale Research, said food shortages - including the endangered Chinook salmon - meant females were unable to deliver healthy offspring. The calf only survived for about 45 minutes and was the first born to the pod off the West Coast in the past three years, he told ABC News.   “They should be having nine babies a year -- anywhere from six to nine babies a year,” he said.

A further 378 children had already been released under other "appropriate circumstances," the filing said, but more than 700 children remain in custody. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2K1BIRe via Latest News

More than 700 sub-Saharan migrants on Thursday stormed the border fence surrounding the Spanish enclave of Ceuta in Morocco, with dozens injured in an incursion of “unprecedented violence”. Sixteen migrants and ten officers from Spain’s Guardia Civil received hospital treatment following Thursday morning’s incident, during which the group bombarded agents with quicklime, sticks, stones and bags of excrement as well as aerosols used as flame throwers, the force said in a statement. The incursion, which comes days after Spain officially overtook Italy in migrant arrivals by sea, occurred at around 6.30 am when the men used angle grinders and shears to cut through the outer and inner layers of the border fence.  The group also bore defensive equipment such as home-made shields and body armour, the Guardia Civil said, and once through the fence continued to attack agents and security vehicles. The force later recovered “Molotov cocktails and bags of hashish”, it added.  The group scrambled
