Scientists were amused when they captured footage of a Maori octopus hitchhiking on a shortfin mako shark, one of the fastest shark species, in the Hauraki Gulf off New Zealand's North Island. The video, recorded in December 2023 and released recently, shows the orange-hued octopus clinging to the shark's back, prompting marine ecologist Rochelle Constantin to initially question whether it was entangled in fishing gear. After deploying a drone for a closer look, researchers observed the unusual interaction, noting that octopuses typically reside on the seabed, where mako sharks rarely venture. Social media users reacted with astonishment, calling the octopus "a genius" for its clever mode of transport. While it remains uncertain what happened after the 10-minute observation, the encounter highlights the ocean's wonders and the importance of conservation efforts to preserve such extraordinary moments.

Mar 22 2025, 12 pmeznews.inAs ceasefire talks regarding the ongoing Ukraine war are set for Monday, significant developments have unfolded since Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20, 2025. Trump urged Russian President Vladimir Putin to negotiate with Ukraine, threatening sanctions if he failed to act.

However, by March 11, Ukraine agreed to a 30-day ceasefire plan with the US, which included lifting military aid restrictions. As negotiations progress, Putin has set conditions, demanding an end to Western support for Ukraine, while both sides brace for challenging discussions ahead.

Mar 24 2025, 10 ameznews.inIn a sweeping crackdown on undocumented migrants, the Trump administration's immigration policies have drawn criticism for targeting individuals who do not fit the government's narrative of criminality. Notable cases include Franco Caraballo, a Venezuelan barber detained during an ICE appointment, and a Mexican couple apprehended while seeking medical care for their daughter. Rights groups report that many deportees, including those like Caraballo, face removal based on superficial associations, such as tattoos, rather than actual criminal behavior. Camila Munoz, a Peruvian stopped upon returning from her honeymoon, and Shirly Guardado, a Honduran mother detained at work, further exemplify the administration's aggressive stance. Immigration attorney David Rozas calls the current situation alarming, warning of potential labor shortages as migrants, who he describes as the backbone of the economy, face increasing threats of deportation. The emotional toll on families is profound, with many fearing prolonged separations.

Mar 24 2025, 10 ameznews.inIn a sharp response to US allegations of testing 'dogfighting' satellites, China has dismissed the claims as a "budget-driven" tactic aimed at stifling its space advancements. A report from the state-run Global Times asserted that Beijing's space programme is focused on peaceful purposes, countering assertions made by General Michael Guetlein of the US Space Force, who described observing five Chinese satellites performing synchronized maneuvers in low Earth orbit. Guetlein characterized these actions as "dogfighting" in space, suggesting they reflect a strategic military capability. Beijing accused the US of using such narratives to justify increased military spending and promote a "China, Russia threat theory," particularly in light of budget cuts proposed under the new administration following President Trump's return to office. The ongoing tension highlights a growing competition in space capabilities, with Western officials expressing concerns over China's satellite operations since the launch of the Shiyan satellites in 2022.
