Interpol is seeking public's help in European cold case murders
LYON — Interpol has launched “Operation Identify Me” to identify the remains of 22 women found in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany.Their remains were discovered in the three participating countries over a number of years. Who they are, where they are from and why their remains were found in different locations is not known.Partly because the deceased women were likely from countries other than where they were found, it has not yet been possible to establish their identities. It is possible that their bodies were left where they were found to make the criminal investigation more difficult. The victims were buried in makeshift graves.Some of the women are thought to have come from specific regions in Eastern Europe, but in other cases, all options remain open.Establishing the...

MOSCOW — Vladimir Putin has said Russia’s future “rests on” the soldiers fighting in Ukraine, during his annual speech to mark Victory Day in Moscow.“There is nothing more important now than your combat effort,” he said.The military parade, which commemorates the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany, was scaled back this year for security.Putin also used his speech to justify his invasion of Ukraine, while accusing “Western globalist elites” of provoking conflicts.Civilization is again “at a decisive turning point”, he said in Moscow’s Red Square to a crowd composed of just officials and veterans, as the event was not open to the public.Addressing the troops fighting in Ukraine — some of whom were present — Putin said a “real war” had been “unleashed” against...

Turkey elections: Aftershocks of anger and grief in quake-hit nation
ANTAKYA — There is no election fever in the ancient city of Antakya in southern Turkey — just rubble and torment.“What I want from the ballot box is his dead body and nothing else,” said Fethiye Keklik. “Our souls have been ripped away. He’s no use to us.”The 68-year-old grandmother is referring to Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Insulting the president can get you jailed here, but she won’t be silenced.“He just brings harm. I’m thinking of burning my ballot paper — in front of the police and the soldiers.”Turkey’s leader is looking vulnerable as never before in upcoming elections for parliament and the presidency on May 14.The end of the Erdogan era — if it comes — should mean a freer, more democratic Turkey. Jails may be less crowded and relations...

GENEVA — The ocean can provide vast opportunities for developing countries to build more innovative and resilient economies, but climate change, pollution and overfishing threaten the livelihoods of some three billion people who rely on it for food and income.That’s according to the UN Trade and Development body UNCTAD’s Trade and Environment Review 2023, published on Monday, which analyses the world’s $3-6 billion ocean economy, and assesses how human activity and multiple global crises have significantly impacted sectors like fishing, seafood, shipping and coastal tourism.The report, presented at the 3rd UN Trade Forum in Geneva, calls for a global trade and investment “Blue Deal” to sustainably use the ocean — home to 80 percent of all life.“The ocean economy offers many...
