PARIS, Nov 27 (Reuters) – After eight weeks in court, the trial surrounding the 2009 crash of an Air France jet that claimed the lives of all 228 on board entered its final phase on Thursday, with Air France and Airbus defending themselves against charges of involuntary manslaughter.

Jean Vigo’s 1934 film L’Atalante is a dreamlike and lyrical love story set aboard a canal barge, known for its emotional resonance and sensual imagery. The film stars Dita Parlo and Jean Dasté as a young couple navigating the early days of marriage in tight quarters. While their relationship forms the core of the film, it is Michel Simon’s portrayal of Père Jules, the boisterous and eccentric barge-mate, that truly captivates. Père Jules, a seafarer covered in tattoos and surrounded by

Visiting the Dolomites in winter for walking adventures means immersing yourself in the dramatic beauty of snowy peaks unlike any other in the Alps.

New images from NASA have captured the breathtaking moment an interstellar comet soared through space, offering a rare opportunity to study this celestial phenomenon and gain new insights into its makeup. Named 3I/ATLAS, the comet was first spotted by astronomers on July 1. It marks only the third known interstellar object—originating from outside our solar system—to pass through our cosmic neighborhood. As the comet passed near Mars in October, several NASA missions temporarily paused their

Just eight decades ago, a trip from London or New York to Sydney or Melbourne required more than a week of travel. Today, a new aircraft that can make the journey without any stopovers is nearing completion. On Friday, Qantas shared the first images of the plane during its assembly process. Equipped with a specially designed 20,000-liter fuel tank in the rear center section, the Airbus A350-1000ULR will be capable of flying nonstop for up to 22 hours.

WASHINGTON (AP) — For many years, U.S. officials have cautioned against relying on loans from China’s state-run banks, which have played a central role in Beijing’s transformation into a global power. Yet a recent study has surfaced a surprising reality: the United States has received more funding from these institutions than any other nation. The full impact of this financial relationship on security and technology still remains unclear. According to AidData, a research center at the College

New Tree Toad Species Discovered Researchers have recently identified three unique species of tree toads that bypass the typical egg and tadpole stages. Instead, the females give birth on land to tiny, fully-formed toadlets, each only a few millimeters in length. This type of live birth is extremely rare among amphibians. Of the nearly 8,000 known species of frogs and toads, fewer than 1% give birth to live young. Scientists believe this unusual reproductive method may have evolved in response

Just over a year ago, Ryan Sprankle welcomed President Donald Trump to one of the three family-owned grocery stores near Pittsburgh. At the time, Trump was campaigning and spoke with Sprankle about the rising costs of groceries, even picking up a bag of popcorn during the visit. Today, Sprankle’s message is quite different. If Trump or other lawmakers were to visit now, he’d express concern over the delayed distribution of SNAP benefits during the government shutdown, which has negatively

Nuremberg Film Overview During the Nuremberg trials held in 1945 and 1946, top Nazi leaders were prosecuted, including Hermann Göring, who was second only to Hitler. While Göring's role is widely known, less attention has been given to American psychiatrist Douglas Kelley.

As chronicled in Jack El-Hai’s book The Nazi and the Psychiatrist, Kelley was simultaneously captivated and disturbed by

NEW YORK (AP) — Air travelers across the United States are bracing for worsening delays and cancellations this week unless lawmakers can come to an agreement to end the ongoing federal government shutdown. On Saturday, U.S. airlines were forced to cut over 1,500 flights, and more than 2,900 were scrapped on Sunday after the Federal Aviation Administration instructed carriers to reduce traffic due to staffing shortages. The shortage is mainly a result of unpaid air traffic controllers calling

Using eDNA to Find the Missing Beneath the waters of Saipan's harbor, an upside-down warplane, its metal exterior now adorned with coral growth, sits quietly as vibrant tropical fish dart through its fuselage and engine. Slowly blending into the surrounding reef, this aircraft still tells a story decades after it fell into the sea. The aircraft, known as a Grumman TBF Avenger, carried three crew members when it likely crashed during or after the 1944 Battle of Saipan — a crucial World War
