Bay Area technology Saildrone provides seagoing security across oceans: Here's how it works
ALAMEDA, Calif. (KGO) -- A Bay Area technology being tested off the coast of Northern Europe has goals that include patrolling and protecting shipping lanes that have been the site of suspected sabotage. We checked in on its progress. Outside a sprawling assembly space in Alameda, an autonomous, ocean-going drone is getting its sail -- the key component that will help drive it through even the roughest seas, nearly anywhere in the world.
The Norwegian royals that make Britain’s look mundane
It’s not hard to see why the ninety-three-year-old, wheelchair-bound Princess Astrid of Norway might feel that now is the moment to remind Norwegians “I can still be useful for something,” as she did in a rare interview last month. The princess, who is the sister of eighty-eight-year-old King Harald, was awarded an honorary pension by the government two decades ago; last year, her official diary shrank to twenty engagements. But 2024 was not kind to the Norwegian ruling house.
The West needs to be honest about Britain's rape gangs
The rape gang scandal that has afflicted Britain compels us to review the assumptions that underlie multiculturalism. It’s time for us in the free world to look at human beings and their various cultures as they truly are, and not as the bien pensants wish and then so dangerously insist they must be.
In the footsteps of Cecil Rhodes
In a scrubby paddock on the edge of Bulawayo, I walked up to a half-broken leatherwood tree growing in a tangle of old barbed wire. It looked no different to a million tough trees across Zimbabwe, the still-beautiful, still-friendly country which remains the most wonderful place in Africa. But this tree is exceptional: it is listed as a national monument.

19th century maritime law could affect payout for Baltimore bridge disaster, expert says
SAN FRANCISCO -- Attorney John Hillsman has spent a legal lifetime learning about ships, boats, and nearly anything that floats. And he's seen his share of disasters, including representing Bay Area fisherman in the 2007 Cosco Busan oil spill on San Francisco Bay. But he says charting a legal course often begins with untangling an obscure maritime law that stretches back more than a century.
Giles Milton - Buxton International Festival
The Stalin Affair: The Allies’ Secret Mission to Wartime Moscow In the wake of the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941, a select team of British and Americans were given two vital goals: to befriend Stalin and to keep the Red Army fighting on the Eastern Front. A multi-millionaire railroad magnate, Averell Harriman and his fashionable and brilliant daughter, Kathy, were initially sent to London with orders to build a close working relationship with Winston Churchill.

How to save the National Trust from stifling conformity
Clumber Park may be the ideal National Trust house—because it doesn’t exist. In 1938, a declining ducal family knocked down its pile and later sold its wooded estate to the Trust, which keeps it like an enchanted bit of Germany’s Black Forest, but in north Nottinghamshire. The result is a happy place to walk—think families with dogs, enjoying stalls selling herby toasted cheese sandwiches—without the awkwardness of having to work out what to do with a huge old building.

Our America: 3 out of 5 registered nurse who died from COVID-19 in California were Filipino American
The nation's frontline health care workers have made unknowable sacrifices -- none in greater focus than the 3,233 U.S. health care workers who have died from COVID or complications from the disease, according to numbers provided by National Nurses United as of Feb. 11, 2021. SAN FRANCISCO -- With more than a third of U.S. adults fully vaccinated and outdoor mask mandates lifted, it's easy to forget all that was lost to COVID-19 in the last year.

Kamala Harris: Vice President-elect breaking barriers to be 1st Black, Asian woman to win VP office
SAN FRANCISCO -- From San Francisco district attorney to California attorney general, U.S. senator, and now the first Black and Asian woman elected vice president of the United States, Kamala Harris has a history of breaking barriers. Long before entering politics, Harris' early childhood in Berkeley gave her an opportunity to be an agent of change when she was bused across town to be part of the second class to integrate her public school, Thousand Oaks Elementary School.
British complacency is behind pandemic failings - and we’re all involved
Getty Images In 1788 one of my ancestors ended up on the first convict fleet to Botany Bay after a misunderstanding at the Old Bailey about the theft of an iron bar. Two centuries on, that is why I am Australian as well as British. I have always been proud to hold an Australian passport, even if I don’t have the accent, but I have never been prouder of it than now. Australia has got through coronavirus brilliantly.
Book review: Native by Patrick Laurie
When John Buchan’s hero Richard Hannay needed to hide in The 39 Steps, he “fixed on Galloway as the best place to go”. “It was the nearest wild part of Scotland, so far as I could figure it out, and from the look of the map was not over thick with population.” As Patrick Laurie states simply near the start of this brilliant and beautiful story of scratching a living from the rough land of south-west Scotland, “Galloway is unheard of”.
Look to the Lake District for a lesson in how to improve the way we eat

This week he’s been watching three white egrets which have flown in for the first time to explore a stream that he’s restored to the slow-flowing state it had before modern farming said the land should be drained and wilderness tamed.

Coronavirus in California: Superintendent Tony Thurmond suggests staggered reopening of schools
SAN FRANCISCO -- Tony Thurmond, superintendent of California public schools, is suggested that the state stagger the reopening of schools amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Don’t know where, don’t know when, but I know we’ll fly again some day
Getty Images A friend emailed me a YouTube link this week, to a film which seems a trance-like dream, but it’s real. It was made by someone flying home from Europe to Australia a few days ago in a world in which there are no passengers and hardly any planes. His is the lone bag that comes off the luggage belt. Terminals are ghostly, lights burning but shops shut.
Coronavirus crisis: Son of early Bay Area COVID-19 victim shares story of loss, how website gave him hope
On March 9 Ahrabi became the person who at the time was believed to be the first to die of COVID-19 in the Bay Area. SANTA CLARA COUNTY, Calif. -- Before the novel coronavirus was classified as a pandemic and before Californians were sheltering in place, what was viewed as a killer abroad paid a very personal visit to 68-year-old Santa Clara resident Azar Ahrabi. Autopsies in Santa Clara County would later show deaths several weeks earlier in February were products of COVID-19.
Let’s turn the shock of this crisis into big ideas for a better country
Derwentwater in the Lake District National Park: PA This sounds like the start of a spy story, but it’s true. One day in 1942 the Home Guard stopped a man driving in Cornwall. They found that he was carrying a notebook and a camera. It looked suspicious. He’d been scribbling things down. Was he helping the enemy? It took hours for them to believe his strange excuse. John Dower was in Cornwall on government business but it had nothing to do with the war.
Coronavirus California: COVID-19 may have been spreading in Bay Area since late 2019, according to report
Santa Clara County's Chief Executive Dr. Jeff Smith suggests that COVID-19 could have been in the Bay Area and circulating, since late 2019 in December, according to the article in the LA Times. Health officials are working to figure out exactly how long COVID-19 has been in the Bay Area. A new report suggests it could have been long before they started looking for it.

Brexit: One week to go until we're out
European Commission/PA Wire Just before Brexit became law in Parliament this week an exhausted minister added up the numbers and said he deserved a medal. He had spent 230 hours debating it in the House of Lords. There have been 179 select committee reports and 859 ministerial statements. MPs and peers have stood up to ask about Brexit 6,241 times and have sent an extra 15,366 questions in on paper.
The new court of King Boris: The Downing Street power posse intent on remaking the state
Boris Johnson waves as he arrives at Downing Street: REUTERS If you work in Number 10 you’ll get a pass that opens the security gate. You type in a code on a digital pad and walk up the street, trying to remember to hide any bits of paper from the cameramen outside, since “Draft of PM’s Brexit Speech” or “Alternatives to new Heathrow runway” look embarrassing on the front of the Evening Standard. The black door will open. Inside, it’s not grand.
From Brexit to the NHS: Boris Johnson's 2020 brief after his landslide election win
This is a year-zero moment in politics. Everything’s been reset. Boris Johnson was just a backbencher at the start of the summer and now he’s in absolute control of his world. There’s no opposition in the House of Commons. Labour is eating itself alive on Twitter and will be doing so for years. There’s no opposition in his party. Britain has tuned into the Johnson show and it can’t change channel. He’s the sole star and the only scriptwriter. He can take the plot in any direction.
How Boris Johnson's landslide election victory will affect Brexit, house prices and the UK economy
New world: Boris Johnson and Carrie Symonds: PA Our experts tell you what you can expect under Johnson’s new government (and yes, Brexit really does mean Brexit) Are we getting Brexit done? The new Tory majority means we are leaving the EU: the plan is for a Commons vote next week, and exit on January 31. A Eurostar hop across the Channel won’t feel different right away, as there’s a transition on current terms (so no need to stockpile the French wine until the summer).

Anxious about climate change? And what about the state of the Union? Here's how the Conservative Party's stunning election victory will affect them... Will the Union hold? Scotland has just voted SNP but Johnson will say no to a second independence referendum north of the border. Expect a scrappy, noisy row but no vote soon. Meanwhile, Northern Ireland could be scary. At best, a Brexit free-trade deal could lead to a customs border in the Irish Sea.

Fighting her third election in Tooting, in the borough of Wandsworth, in not much more than three years — after a 2016 by-election and the 2017 general election — Rosena Allin-Khan is knocking on doors for Labour with a practised energy that could power half the capital.
General Election 2019: As national campaign rages, centre-ground Tories canvass on their terms
Nickie Aiken, left, with Tory minister Kit Malthouse First it was weeks, now it is days, soon it will be hours. Conservative candidates are counting down to 10pm on Thursday, December 12, the moment when polls close and most still think, privately, that the general election will be won. Between now and then they are fighting to protect what they think they already have — which is enough support to keep Boris Johnson in Downing Street. But this is the moment it could all go wrong for them.

General election 2019: The battle for your newsfeed
If you are man and under 35, the Conservatives have an Eighties vibe for you. A party Facebook ad with a slogan in a neon scrawl and a soundtrack like a bad T’Pau B-side has been seen around half a million times. If you are in your 60s, you get cheesy piano electronica and a fizzy picture of the Prime Minister wearing a lopsided blue tie. Welcome to the general election, 2019-style, on a digital device near you.
Labour conference 2019: Will Jeremy Corbyn get the heave-ho?
There’s a tug of war going on in the Labour Party but the rules aren’t normal. The rope’s in a tangle, the teams are strangling themselves in knots and no one is winning. Spectators are watching in horror. The aim of political writing is usually to join things up and explain the theme but that’s impossible with Labour at the moment. There is no single logical explanation for what is happening at the party conference in Brighton.
