Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:50:29 GMT

(CNN) — The mysterious 1912 sinking of the luxury passenger liner, the Titanic, has long served as a source of fascination for many.Historians now believe that a new underwater scanning project may provide answers to some of the unanswered questions regarding the tragedy that killed more than 1,500 people.A team of scientists have used deep sea mapping to create “an exact ‘Digital Twin’ of the Titanic wreck for the first time,” according to a press release Wednesday from deep sea investigators Magellan and filmmakers Atlantic Productions.By carrying out the “largest underwater scanning project in history,” scientists have managed to “reveal details of the tragedy and uncover fascinating information about what really happened to the crew and passengers on that fateful night” of April 14, 1912, the press release said.Scans of the wreck were carried out in the summer of 2022 by a specialist ship stationed 700 km (435 miles) off the coast of Canada, according to the release.

Galtier snubbed by peers despite PSG closing in on 11th French league title

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:50:29 GMT

PARIS (AP) — With Paris Saint-Germain close to clinching an 11th French league title, coach Christophe Galtier might have been expected to collect some laurels.Instead, he is not sure he’ll be in charge next season, and even his peers are snubbing him.Galtier was omitted this week from a coach-of-the-season shortlist that includes second-place Lens coach Franck Haise, Marseille’s Igor Tudor, Clermont’s Pascal Gastien, Lille’s Paulo Fonseca and Toulouse’s Philippe Montanier.Every coach in the top division was asked to nominate colleagues, and Galtier did not secure enough votes. The same happened to predecessor Mauricio Pochettino, who led PSG to its record-equaling 10th league title last season but did not make the cut and was later fired.Given the high expectations created by the armada of stars playing for PSG, winning a French league title is clearly not enough to make a season a successful one.Even if the challenges posed by Lens and Marseille this season have been c...

Boris said Macron was ‘Putin’s lickspittle’ and a ‘c**t,’ ex-aide claims

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:50:29 GMT

LONDON — A furious Boris Johnson once privately described Emmanuel Macron as “Putin’s lickspittle” and promised to “punch his lights out,” a key aide to the former U.K. prime minister claimed.Detailing his experience of Johnson’s chaotic premiership in a new podcast, former Downing Street director of communications Guto Harri said Johnson launched into a tirade about Macron in the months following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine — and after the French president criticized the U.K.’s response to the Ukrainian refugee crisis.“At our morning meeting, I think with a small gang of us, he just launched into a violent attack on Emmanuel Macron,” Harri said. “Basically, saying ‘He’s a four-letter word that begins with C, he’s a weirdo, he’s Putin’s lickspittle.’”According to Harri, Johnson apparently then referenced a desire to damage Macron — and deployed an anti-French slur while he was at it.Johnson, Harri sa...

How Ukraine could become the next South Korea

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:50:29 GMT

U.S. officials are planning for the growing possibility that the Russia-Ukraine war will turn into a frozen conflict that lasts many years — perhaps decades — and joins the ranks of similar lengthy face-offs in the Korean peninsula, South Asia and beyond.The options discussed within the Biden administration for a long-term “freeze” include where to set potential lines that Ukraine and Russia would agree not to cross, but which would not have to be official borders. The discussions — while provisional — have taken place across various U.S. agencies and in the White House.It’s a scenario that may prove the most realistic long-term outcome given that neither Kyiv nor Moscow appear inclined to ever admit defeat. It’s also becoming increasingly likely amid the growing sense within the administration that an upcoming Ukrainian counteroffensive won’t deal a mortal blow to Russia.A frozen conflict — in which fighting pauses but neither side is declared the victor nor do they agree that the ...
