In an unprecedented incident, Russia used weapons against the Ukranian ships which it claims illegally entered its waters before boarding and searching them, the country's FSB security service confirmed. The crisis unfolded on Sunday as two Ukrainian small warships and a tugboat were heading through the Kerch Strait, a narrow waterway that gives access to the Sea of Azov that is used by Ukraine and Russia.

| 'Heartbreaking' stranding on remote New Zealand beach leaves 145 whales dead Posted: 25 Nov 2018 10:00 PM PST  Up to 145 pilot whales have died in a mass stranding on a remote part of a small New Zealand island, authorities said on Monday. The stranding was discovered by a hiker late on Saturday on Stewart Island, 19 miles off the southern coast of the South Island. Half of the whales were already dead and due to the condition of the remaining whales and the remote, difficult to access location, the decision was made to euthanise the remainder. "Sadly, the likelihood of being able to successfully re-float the remaining whales was extremely low," said Ren Leppens, the Department of Conservation's operations manager on Stewart Island. "The remote location, lack of nearby personnel and the whales' deteriorating condition meant the most humane thing to do was to euthanise. "However, it's always a heart-breaking decision to make." It was one of four strandings discovered on New Zealand shores over the weekend. Whale strandings are relatively common on New Zealand shores, with the conservation department responding to an average 85 incidents a year, mostly of single animals. Around 145 pilot whales died in a mass stranding on a beach on Stewart Island Credit: Reuters On Sunday, 10 pygmy killer whales stranded at 90 Mile Beach at the top of the North Island. Two have since died and attempts will be made Tuesday to re-float the survivors. A sperm whale which beached on nearby Doubtless Bay died overnight on Saturday, while the body of a dead female pygmy sperm whale was found at Ohiwa on the west coast of the North Island. Exactly why whales and dolphins strand is not fully known but factors can include sickness, navigational error, geographical features, a rapidly falling tide, being chased by a predator, or extreme weather.

| Mars InSight mission: What Nasa's trip to Red Planet aims to discover Posted: 26 Nov 2018 12:48 PM PST  Nasa has touched down on Mars for the first time in six years in a mission designed to mine more information about the Red Planet. The US space agency's latest probe, InSight, landed on the planet at 7.55pm (UK time), having travelled for six months and 300 million miles. In an extremely tricky landing, the lander slowed down from 12,300mph to 5mph, the equivalent of human jogging speed, in just seven minutes after hitting Mars's atmosphere. The mission follows in the footsteps of the Curiosity rover, which landed there in 2012, but the $1bn joint US-European mission will break new ground - literally and metaphorically. Here's what you need to know about the landmark mission. What will InSight do? Curiosity has been moving around Mars, scouring different areas. InSight, however, will be staying in one place for its two-year mission. InSight is short for Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport. As its lengthy name suggests, its objective is to dig into the planet's interior. On the surface of Mars, its 6-foot (1.8-meter) arm will remove the two main science experiments from the lander's deck and place them directly on the Martian surface. This is already uncharted territory in space exploration. In this May 4, 2018 photo, the mobile service tower is rolled back to reveal the United Launch Alliance Atlas-V rocket with NASA's InSight spacecraft onboard at Vandenberg Air Force Base Credit: AP One experiment is intended to take Mars' temperature by drilling down 16 feet (5 meters) into the planet, using a self-hammering nail. That would be a new record for such an experiment, breaking the one set nearly a half-century ago by Apollo moonwalkers, who drilled down 8 feet (2 ½meters). And just as those astronauts left behind instruments to measure moonquakes, InSight is bringing the first seismometers to monitor for marsquakes - if they exist. Yet another experiment will calculate Mars' wobble, providing information about the core of the planet as the sun and its moons pull on Mars. This illustration made available by NASA in 2018 shows the InSight lander drilling into the surface of Mars Credit: AP "It's got its own brain," said lead scientist Bruce Banerdt of Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. "It's got an arm that can manipulate things around. It can listen with its seismometer. It can feel things with the pressure sensors and the temperature sensors. It pulls its own power out of the sun." With no life detectors on board, its primary objective is not to look for signs of life, past or present. But that's not to say it won't be able to provide such clues. "When InSight drills down into the Martian soil, we'll learn more about how Mars and Earth formed. We'll know more about where we all came from, and why these two rocky worlds are so similar yet so different," Bill Nye, CEO of the nonprofit Planetary Society, said in a statement. "We may learn more about what kinds of planets can harbour life. InSight is more than a Mars mission -- it's a solar system mission." Mars Curiosity Rover | Top six discoveries Mars is much less geologically active than Earth, and so its interior is closer to being in its original state - a tantalizing time capsule. InSight stands to "revolutionise the way we think about the inside of the planet," said Nasa's science mission chief, Thomas Zurbuchen. The landing site InSight landed on a spot called Elysium Planitia, an area that astronomers have described as "the biggest parking lot on Mars". A sizable equatorial plain, Tom Hoffman, InSight's project manager, hoped it would be "like a Walmart parking lot in Kansas." Nasa aimed for as flat an area as possible so the lander does not tip over and thereby kill the mission, and so the robotic arm can set the science instruments down. "If Elysium Planitia were a salad, it would consist of romaine lettuce and kale - no dressing," Bruce Banerdt, InSight principal investigator of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, said. "If it were an ice cream, it would be vanilla." In numbers | Mars The lander will stand close to the ground, its top deck barely a metre above the surface. Once its twin circular solar panels are open, it will take up the space of a large car. Mr Hoffman said selecting a suitable good landing site was "a lot like picking a good home". "It's all about location, location, location," he said. "And for the first time ever, the evaluation for a Mars landing site had to consider what lay below the surface of Mars. We needed not just a safe place to land, but also a workspace that's penetrable by our 16-foot-long (5-meter) heat-flow probe." This NASA illustration shows a simulated view of the InSight lander firing retrorockets to slow down as it descends toward the surface of Mars Credit: AFP Communication from the Red Planet Joining InSight for its extra-terrestrial mission are a pair of briefcase-size satellites, called MarCO. These experimental CubeSats, dubbed WALL-E and EVE from the 2008 animated movie, provided near-live updates during the lander's descent. The CubeSats will remain in perpetual orbit around the sun, their technology demonstration complete. Back on earth, people will have to be patient for results from InSight. While the first pictures of the landing site arrived shortly after touchdown, it will be at least 10 weeks before the science instruments are deployed. Then it will be another several weeks for Martian thermometer to dig into Mars. In total, the mission is intended to last two years - or one full Martian year.

| Leading medical supply maker reportedly linked to many breaches Posted: 25 Nov 2018 02:50 PM PST  A world leader in medical technology, the American firm Medtronic, may be linked to as many as 9,300 deaths and 292,000 injuries in the US alone, according to an analysis published Sunday by an international journalists' group. Reports submitted to US regulators last year indicate that one in five medical implants using Medtronic products proved problematic, twice the rate of any competing firm, according to a wide-reaching analysis by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ). The ICIJ inquiry, titled "Implant Files" and drawing on contributions from reporters in 36 countries, found that authorities in Japan, Norway and Australia had also identified Medtronic products as the source of the largest numbers of complaints over the past five years.

| Inside North Korea: How Kim Jong-un is carefully crafting a personality cult to keep grip on power Posted: 24 Nov 2018 10:00 PM PST  The tiny five-year-olds, dressed in pink tutus and bright, sequined shirts, were angelic as they sang in perfect chorus at the end of a half hour performance at the Changgwang kindergarten in downtown Pyongyang. Singing in harmony and clapping in unison, the smiling infants performed their catchy melody: "Our father is General Kim Il Sung…our home is our party…We envy nothing in the world." Visitors to the modern and well-equipped boarding school leave with an image of idyllic childhood after seeing pupils light up at the chance to show the few foreigners allowed to enter the country their high-tech game machines, sports classes, ballet performances, and immaculate artwork. But the demonstrations also offer an insight into one of the more chilling aspects of North Korean life: a conditioning from infancy to express fawning devotion to the ruling Kim family. Three generations of the dynasty, from current leader Kim Jong-un, to his father Kim Jong-il, and war hero grandfather, Kim Il Sung, are venerated as deities and their personality cults permeate daily life with a suffocating effect. Kim Jong-il greets residents at one of Pyonyang's subway entrances Credit: Eddie Mulholland But while the two elder Kims are omnipresent - their portraits adorning the walls of every household, factory, school, even metro carriages - the young, current leader has so far resisted self-aggrandising monuments. However, in a move seen as an attempt to cement the 35-year-old as life-long ruler and to head off any possible leadership challenge, he is rapidly creating his own generational chapter of family mythology through tales of his own benevolence, superhuman talents and exemplary feats. According to some of the most outlandish claims, he learned to drive at age three and became a competitive sailor at nine. Last year, state-run media reported his ability to change the weather as he ascended the country's sacred Mount Paektu through snow in black, leather shoes. Wedding groups gather at the Korean Revolution Museum to lay flowers at the statues of Kim Il-Sung and Kim Jong-Il Credit: Eddie Mulholland In drip feed of carefully controlled state-published images of the leader, Kim is frequently photographed imparting his wisdom to officials scribbling in notebooks or to emotionally-overcome workers. On visits around Pyongyang last week the Telegraph learned of his "expert instructions" on the design of the natural history museum and on how to improve football boots. At the maternity hospital, Mun Chang-un, a guide, attributed the introduction of the epidural injection to the leader's sage advice. Portraits of North Korea's former leaders even make their way into the subway carriages Credit: Eddie Mulholland The sculpting of future generations to ensure their unwavering faith in the wisdom of the country's past and current "great leaders" is a top priority for the regime to keep its grip on power. In Changgwang, some 800 children living apart from their working parents, sing of their wish for Kim Jong-un to visit. In a history class, one boy sprang from his seat. "I will uphold highly the great, respected Kim Jong-un," he said to joyful clapping from his classmates. At the school's entrance, a floor to ceiling painting in soft pastels of Kim Il Sung surrounded by children, some sitting on his lap, frames him as a modern-day Jesus. "Let the little children come to me..the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these," says Jesus in the Gospel of St Matthew. "Young people are the successors to the revolution, a shock brigade in building a thriving nation and masters who will shoulder the future of Kim Il Sung's nation," states the red book of Kim Jong Un Aphorisms, volume 1, page 52. North Korea claims to be a non-religious state, but it has simply replaced religion with Kim family worship. Citizens bow deeply to imposing wax sculptures of "Eternal President" Kim Il Sung, while the party faithful proudly wear a red lapel pin depicting him and his son. The absence of Kim Jong-un billboards and portraits is noticeable and unexplained, although he is still officially idolised. Kim Jong-il and Kim Il-sung look down upon the population across the capital Credit: Eddie Mulholland He could be taking things slowly while moulding his own cult-like image around that of his grandfather, the most popular of the Kims, suggested Robert Kelly, a political science professor at South Korea's Busan university. "He is famously styling himself after Kim Il Sung, with the hair and the weight." He added: "It seems like the propaganda apparatus didn't really miss a beat. Kim Jong-un has been given all the relevant titles, he's been given the same majesty and superstitious exaggeration." Objects Kim once touched are revered – a hospital bed he sat on, a chair he used when addressing textile workers, now encased in a plastic box. Every factory has its own story of his concern to improve workers' lives. At the model Jangchon vegetable farm on the city's periphery, deputy manager Kim Yong-ho, 53, spoke of his joy when the "great Marshall" visited. "I felt really proud to have met such a great man as the leader of our country! He is like the sun to us," he said. Such is the depth of mass indoctrination that even the most innocuous everyday occurrences prompt spontaneous gratitude to the leader. Student Kim Song-gwang won an orange balloon after kissing a dolphin during a Sunday afternoon performance at the aquarium. "I am really impressed by the love and care of our great Marshall Kim Jong-un that we are enjoying ourselves in this wonderful location," he said, when asked about the event. Portraits sit above the sofa at the home of Kim Chun-Son. All portraits must be sanctioned by the state before being hung Credit: Eddie Mulholland But unlike his father and grandfather, Kim faces the challenge of keeping his people isolated from the global internet age to sustain his legendary status. As a result, the flow of outside information is still deeply curtailed. Most citizens may only access the state intranet and its heavily censored content, while calls or emails to foreigners must be officially registered. Foreign news is highly restricted. One educated Pyongyang resident recounted the details of the June Singapore summit between Kim and Donald Trump, the US president, but had not heard of the Thai cave rescue which gripped the world for two weeks. Pornography and Bibles are considered to be "evil methods of infiltration", used to "destabilise society." Individualism is discouraged, dissent is punished. In one of the more bizarre restrictions, men and women may not dye their hair, and should choose from approved styles, including the "butterfly", "seagull" and "coiled bundle." Korea experts question how long Kim can maintain such draconian control? Although popular for improving the economy and securing the North's nuclear weapons, Kim still faced future challenges to his power, said Andrei Lankov, a professor at Seoul's Kookmin university. "In order to keep the country stable they have to keep it isolated. If they open it, it will be suicidal for the elite and even for many common people because if you have revolution in North Korea it's going to be very messy and bloody," he said. Visitors to the Changgwang Kindergarten are presented with an idyllic image of childhood in North Korea Credit: Eddie Mulholland "Basically, you cannot maintain such a level of ideological mobilisation forever. Information is getting in. Kim Jong-un is now taking it very seriously, he is doing what he can to prevent people from learning too much about the outside world. But he cannot fully stop it." In a sign that the secluded society is slowly opening up, Oh Song Chong, 25, the soldier who was shot while made a daring defection across the border last year, told Japan's Sankei Shimbun paper this week that "probably 80% of my generation is indifferent and has no loyalty," to Kim. "I actually think that most North Koreans think the ideology is kind of bunk," said Robert Kelly. "My sense is that it serves two purposes. Firstly, it's a mobilisation tool and the second is that without the Kim cult then North Korea just becomes a poorer version of South Korea." For now, the regime's imperative remains shaping the minds of schoolchildren. At the Mangyongdae schoolchildren's palace, a surreal after-school club that hosts regular performances for tourists, students sang and executed flawless dance routines in praise of the nation's achievements. Ri Jin-hyang, a 12-year-old guide, wearing the red scarf of the Children's Union, a political organisation linked to the ruling Workers' Party, was unsure what to reply when asked what she knew about the UK. But her response on America was immediate and scripted to perfection. "The US is the country that invaded us," she said.

| EU agrees 'best possible' Brexit deal, urges Britons to back May Posted: 25 Nov 2018 08:08 AM PST  "Those who think that, by rejecting the deal, they would get a better deal, will be disappointed," European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker told reporters after the 27 other EU leaders formally endorsed a treaty setting terms for British withdrawal in March and an outline of a future EU-UK trade pact. Asked whether there was any chance Brussels would reopen the pact if an alliance of pro- and anti-Brexit forces votes it down in the British parliament, Juncker said "this is the best deal possible", although summit chair Donald Tusk sounded more guarded, saying he did not want to consider hypotheticals. May used a post-summit news conference to make a sales pitch for her plan, telling television viewers at home that it was the "only possible deal", offering control of UK borders and budgets while maintaining close alignment with EU regulations that was good for business and the security of Britain and Europe.
