Earlier today, the Naval vessel U-S-S John McCain was involved in a crash with a Liberian vessel off the coast of Singapore. The collision left five sailors dead and ten others missing at sea. In response, the Navy is putting its fleet on “operational pause,” and an investigation is now under way. This is the fourth crash involving a U-S ship this year, and the second in the past two months.
An online auction of rhino horns was to take place earlier today in Johannesburg, South Africa, following a court ruling in Pretoria that took the side of rhino farmers. Several South African groups were attempting to ban the event, fearing it would undermine the worldwide ban on the rhino trade and encourage poaching.
