Rare encounter with ‘very large sharks’ captured off Ireland

When wildlife photographer Florian Walsh noticed "activity" in the waters off Ventry Bay Beach, near Dingle in Ireland, he raced back home knowing he and his friends were witnessing something rare. Walsh picked up his drone, drove back to the grey glass harbour and launched the device, in the hopes of recording the rare shiver of "very large sharks". He told 9news.com.au the scenes he captured on April 29 - are ones he "will never forget". Walsh said the harbour was "full" of basking sharks. (Florian Walsh Photography) "As soon as I got the drone up my jaw dropped," he said. "It was just absolutely mind-blowing to see so many in one place. The harbor was full of them, I would say that there was about 40-plus sharks. "I noticed a few kayakers which wa...

‘Beautiful and gentle soul’ who fell off cruise ship identified as search to find him suspended

The Australian man who went overboard from a cruise ship earlier this week has been remembered as a 'kind and beautiful' soul after the search to find him was suspended. Brisbane man Warwick Tollemache, 35, went overboard on the Quantum of The Seas at about 11pm (early Wednesday evening AEST), about 1400 kilometres south of the Hawaiian islands. An immediate search by the ship's crew was conducted and the US Coast Guard was called in to assist. "Our family is heartbroken at the loss of our beloved Warwick," his family said in a statement.

White woman whose claim caused Emmett Till murder has died

The white woman who accused Black teenager Emmett Till of whistling at and accosting her in Mississippi in 1955 — causing his lynching, which galvanised a generation of activists to rise up in the Civil Rights Movement — has died at 88. Carolyn Bryant Donham died in hospice care on Tuesday night in Westlake, Louisiana, according to a death report filed on Thursday in the Calcasieu Parish Coroner’s Office. After being accused of wolf-whistling at a white woman in Mississippi, 14-year-old African-American boy Emmett Till was kidnapped, murdered and mutilated on August 28, 1955. (AP) Her death marks the last chance for anyone to be held accountable for the kidnapping and murder that shocked the world. Till's mother, Mamie Till Mobley, insisted on an open-casket funeral in ...

Proud Boys viewed as ‘Donald Trump’s army’: prosecutor

After months of legal battles, infighting between defence lawyers and dozens of rejected mistrial motions, the federal criminal trial against five Proud Boys accused of plotting to attack the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, moved to its final stage. One prosecutor and two defence lawyers gave their closing arguments to the Washington, DC, jury tasked with deciding whether Enrique Tarrio, Dominic Pezzola, Zachary Rehl, Joseph Biggs and Ethan Nordean are guilty of several federal crimes, including seditious conspiracy. The Justice Department's Conor Mulroe argued that the defendants stirred fellow members of the far-right Proud Boys toward violence in the lead up to January 6 and directed them that day to attack the iconic building.

Girl, six, and parents shot, wounded over stray ball in US, neighbours say

A North Carolina man shot and wounded a six-year-old girl and her parents after children went to retrieve a basketball that had rolled into his yard, according to neighbours and the girl's family — another in a string of recent shootings sparked by seemingly trivial circumstances. Gaston County Police Chief Stephen Zill said at a news conference Wednesday that his department and the US Marshals Service's Regional Fugitive Task Force were conducting a broad search for 24-year-old Robert Louis Singletary, who fled after the Tuesday night shootings near Gastonia, a city of roughly 80,000 people west of Charlotte. Singletary, who has been out on bond in a December attack in which authorities say he assaulted a woman with a hammer, is wanted in Tuesday's shootings on four counts of ...
