During one of its naval exercises near Kaliningrad on March 19, Russia accidentally tanked its own ship, the trawler Captain Lobanov, with a missile, an independent television channel TV Rain reported.

During one of its naval exercises near Kaliningrad on March 19, Russia accidentally tanked its own ship, the trawler Captain Lobanov, with a missile, an independent television channel TV Rain reported. This incident claimed the lives of three crew members and left four others injured. According to reports from Russian media channels, a missile mistakenly struck the trawler during the drill of the Baltic Fleet exercise on March 19, resulting in a fire that engulfed the ship, destroying the captain's cabin. A video shared on social media captured the chaos as flames consumed the vessel. Official reports vs. reality Initially, authorities reported a mere "fire" onboard, concealing the severity of the situation. However, a relative of a crew member revealed that the missile directly hit the ship's captain's cabin, causing extensive damage. "A relative of a squad member of the trawler ‘Captain Lobanov’ confirmed…that the ship was mistakenly hit by a navy missile. As a result of a missile hitting the fishing trawler Kapitan Lobanov on March 19, three crew members were killed and four more were injured…The missile that hit the trawler was fired during a Baltic Fleet exercise…Before the incident, the trawler’s crew members were about to go to bed when a rocket fell on the captain’s cabin," TV Rain report read. "When they were taking away the survivors, everyone knew perfectly well that three people had been killed. And everyone knew perfectly well that a missile had hit. But they decided to write that there was a 'fire.' I wonder what kind of fire it was if the captain's cabin was completely gone, it was simply blown away," the source told TV Rain. Following the incident, surviving crew members were taken to a hospital for treatment where they were interrogated by Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) and instructed "not to talk about the incident." Anton Gerashchenko, a former adviser to Ukraine's minister of internal affairs tweeted on X, "It looks like Russians drowned their own ship during an exercise. Way to go!" The family of survivors expressed frustration over the discrepancy between official statements and the actual events. They raised concerns about the accuracy of reports, given the destruction of the captain's cabin.

Russia accidentally tanks its own ship during naval exercise, 3 crew members dead

In response to mounting concerns about potential destabilisation of the European market, the European Union (EU) is preparing to implement tariffs of up to 50 per cent&nbsp;on grain imports from Russia.

This move, spearheaded by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, seeks to counter fears that Russia might flood the market with cheap wheat, thereby disrupting the stability of European grain prices.

The decision comes on the heels of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's plea to EU leaders to take action against the "stolen" grain from occupied territories. Von der Leyen stressed on the necessity of these tariffs to mitigate risks to European markets and farmers, as Russia's actions could potentially benefit its war efforts.

“We propose the imposition of tariffs on these Russian imports to mitigate the growing risk to our markets and our farmers. They will reduce Russia’s capacity to exploit the EU for the benefit of its war machine,” she said.

<h2>Preventing market manipulation</h2>

The primary agenda&nbsp;of the proposed tariffs is to prevent the illegal dumping of grain by Russia, which could be used as a tool to exacerbate tensions with Ukraine.

European officials highlighted concerns about the potential redirection of Russian grain, potentially facilitated by Belarus, into the EU market, posing a threat to market stability.

Under the proposed measures, Russian grain, which currently enters the EU with minimal or no customs duties, would face a tariff of €95 ($102) per tonne. This tariff structure aims to regulate the influx of Russian grain into the European market, safeguarding against potential disruptions and maintaining fair competition for European farmers.

Zelensky's address to EU leaders also shed light on&nbsp;the challenges faced by Ukraine, including the theft of Ukrainian grain and obstacles encountered by Ukrainian farmers in exporting their produce. He urged EU leaders to address these disparities to ensure fair treatment for Ukrainian agricultural products.

EU officials highlighted the significant increase in Russian grain exports to the EU, coupled with a surge in Russian grain production. From 2022 to 2023, Russian grain exports to the EU rose from 960,000 tonnes to 1.5 million tonnes, while production increased from 35 million tonnes to 50 million tonnes during the same period.

The proposal by the European Commission awaits final approval by the European Council, which could be expedited through a qualified majority vote. Von der Leyen justified the proposal, citing its role in preventing market destabilisation and halting Russia's exploitation of export revenues.

A massive cloud of toxic gas,&nbsp;released from Iceland's ongoing volcanic eruption, is moving across northern Europe.&nbsp;The scientists, who have been tracking the cloud, said that it is not likely to cause any serious health issues but warned that it may affect the ozone hole above the Arctic.

<h2>How did the volcano release sulfur dioxide?</h2>

An underground volcano erupted for the fourth time in Icealnd's Reykjanes Peninsula on March 16 opening up the largest fissure of the current eruption cycle and releasing a massive lava flow which narrowly stopped from flowing into the evacuated town of Grindavík.

Initially, the researchers feared that the lava could reach the sea and release a plume of hydrochloric acid which can be "life-threatening" to anyone who is living close to the coastline. However, the lava did not reach the shore.

But sulfur dioxide, which is a toxic and colourless gas and can be very dangerous if present in high concentrations, was released in the eruption.

The volcano spitted 110 pounds of sulfur dioxide every second on March 17, as per a statement from the Icelandic Met Office.&nbsp;

According to Iceland's Civil Protection, the workers in the Svartsengi power plant had to be evacuated because of high levels of the gas and locals were asked to remain inside.

Eventually, sulfur dioxide emissions decreased significantly, however, Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) data showed that the initial release of gas created a 3-mile-tall (5 kilometres) concentrated column which is moving towards other nations in northern Europe.

The world's first lung cancer vaccine is being developed by British scientists. The DNA strand that will be used to teach the immune system to look for and eliminate red flag proteins—proteins that show up on lung cancer cells and may contain mutations that could lead to cancer—will be the means by which it functions.

Scientists from the University of Oxford, the Francis Crick Institute, and University College London (UCL) are working on developing the vaccine, according to Sky News. According to the outlet, the vaccine known as LungVax will resemble the Oxford-AstraZeneca Covid vaccination.

The group plans to produce three thousand doses of the vaccine, which recognises and eliminates the red flag proteins, also referred to as neoantigens.

Approximately 50,000 cases and 35,000 deaths of lung cancer occur in Britain each year, making it the most deadly common cancer.

Smoking is a factor in seven out of ten cases. Individuals between the ages of 55 and 74 who smoke or have smoked in the past are considered high-risk.

‘Less than 10 per cent of lung cancer patients live with their illness for ten years or more. That needs to change’, according to Professor Mariam Jamal-Hanjani of UCL and the Francis Crick Institute, who will oversee the LungVax clinical trial.

"This research complements existing efforts through lung health checks to detect lung cancer earlier in people who are at greatest risk," she stated.

The researcher added that it has the potential to cover 90 per cent of lung cancers.

"LungVax will not replace stopping smoking as the best way to reduce your risk of lung cancer," said Professor Mariam.

The American Cancer Society states that lung cancer develops when lung cells proliferate uncontrollably. These are two sponge-like organs in your chest that are separated into sections called lobes.

Among the top causes of death globally is lung cancer.

A rare and unheard disorder has been detected in a man in the United States in which the faces of other people appear&nbsp;distorted and demonic&nbsp;to him even though he has always had a sharp vision.

This rare disease was detected in the man one fine day in November 2020 when&nbsp;he noticed, out of the blue, that the faces of people started appearing demonic to him.

The nose, ears and mouth in everyone's face appeared stretched back and deep grooves appeared on the chins, cheeks and foreheads.

“My first thought was I woke up in a demon world. You can’t imagine how scary it was,” said 59-year-old Sharrah, of Clarksville, Tennessee, as reported by NBC News.

Sharrah's one acquaintance, who taught visually impaired people, said to him that he is likely to have been suffering from prosopometamorphopsia, or PMO.&nbsp;

Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/science/intermittent-fasting-linked-with-high-chances-of-death-due-to-heart-attack-stroke-701715">Are you into intermittent fasting? It's linked to chances of death due to heart attack, stroke, says study</a>

The man felt that his symptoms matched the disease and was formally diagnosed last year.

<h2>What is PMO?&nbsp;</h2>

PMO is an extremely rare neurological disorder in which a person suffers in his/her perception that makes other people's faces appear distorted in size, shape, size, colour or texture.

The distortions are only seen when the person, suffering from the ailment, sees the other person in real and not in photographs or on computer screens.

The case gave scientists a chance to visualise how the warped faces appeared for someone with PMO. Dartmouth College's researchers created a digital representation of what Sharrah has been seeing. The digital representation was published in The Lancet on Thursday (Mar 21).&nbsp;

For creating the visual images, Sharrah was asked by the researchers to describe how the photograph of people appeared different from their real-life faces.

Then, image-editing software was used by the researchers to modify the pictures and match them with the description given by Sharrah.

In some cases, the PMO symptoms get resolved after a few weeks or days and in others, it can linger for years. Sharrah added that he continues to see demonic faces.

Till now, there are less than 100 published case reports of people suffering from PMO. According to the researchers, the dysfunction in the brain network which manages facial processing leads to the disease.&nbsp;

In some cases, it has also been linked to migraines, epilepsy, head trauma and stroke but others have been found to suffer PMO without any structural changes in their brains.

The study’s lead author and PhD&nbsp;student Antonio Mello, who works in the Social Perception Lab, at Dartmouth, said that others have also approached their lab and informed about the PMO symptoms which differ significantly from Sharrah's symptoms.&nbsp;

Some people "have seen face distortions since they remember, since they were a child,” said Mello. "For them at least, it’s impossible to find a single event that was responsible," he added.&nbsp;

Europe looks to Japan for defence pact amid regional dynamics

Former US president Donald Trump has again asked his loyalists for donations to help him meet staggering amounts of legal fees as the New York attorney general on Thursday (Mar 21) took preliminary steps to seize his key assets in Westchester County.

Trump is due to cough up a whopping $454 million before the Monday deadline (Mar 25) in a civil judgment case against him for overstating his net worth and the value of his real estate properties. If Trump fails to post it, Attorney General Letitia James could start&nbsp;seizing his assets.

“Insane radical Democrat AG Letitia James wants to SEIZE my properties in New York. This includes the iconic Trump Tower,” Trump reportedly wrote in a fundraising email sent to supporters. “But worst of all? They think that YOU will abandon me, and that you will GIVE UP on our country. Here’s one thing they don’t know: WE WILL NEVER SURRENDER,” he further wrote.

Trump maintains that efforts are being made to stifle his campaign and intimidate him ahead of the presidential elections in November.

<h2>Properties that could be seized by Letitia James</h2>

On Thursday, James’s office took preliminary steps in Westchester County that indicated that a Trump-owned golf course and estate north of Manhattan could be in line to be seized. Similar steps have been taken in New York City. Here are details of major&nbsp;properties:

Nestled amidst the captivating&nbsp;scenery of Westchester County, lies the grand Trump Seven Springs estate, an expansive 230-acre sanctuary spanning three towns: Bedford, Armonk, and Chappaqua.

Originally constructed in 1919 by Eugene Meyer, former publisher of the Washington Post and chairman of the Federal Reserve, this splendid mansion was acquired by the Trump Organization in 1996, marking a new chapter in its illustrious history.

Over in Briarcliff Manor, the esteemed Trump National Golf Club Westchester sits proudly as a premier private golf destination, encompassing 140 acres of verdant landscape. Its 18-hole course is complemented by a vast 75,000-square-foot clubhouse.

Established in 1922 as Briarcliff Country Club, the venue underwent various transformations, later known as Briar Hills Country Club and Briar Hall Golf and Country Club.

On his Truth Social platform, Trump said that putting up the money is “VERY EXPENSIVE” and said it was “not possible for bonding companies to do in such a high amount.” In this case, Trump has the only option to get an appeals court to allow him to post a smaller amount now and defer the rest before Monday's deadline.

<h2>How James will seize Trump’s assets?</h2>

Former US president Donald Trump has again asked his loyalists for donations to help him meet staggering amounts of legal fees as the New York attorney general on Thursday (Mar 21) took preliminary steps to seize his key assets in Westchester County.

Former US president Donald Trump has again asked his loyalists for donations to help him meet staggering amounts of legal fees as the New York attorney general on Thursday (Mar 21) took preliminary steps to seize his key assets in Westchester County. Trump is due to cough up a whopping $454 million before the Monday deadline (Mar 25) in a civil judgment case against him for overstating his net worth and the value of his real estate properties. If Trump fails to post it, Attorney General Letitia James could start seizing his assets. “Insane radical Democrat AG Letitia James wants to SEIZE my properties in New York. This includes the iconic Trump Tower,” Trump reportedly wrote in a fundraising email sent to supporters. “But worst of all? They think that YOU will abandon me, and that you will GIVE UP on our country. Here’s one thing they don’t know: WE WILL NEVER SURRENDER,” he further wrote. Trump maintains that efforts are being made to stifle his campaign and intimidate him ahead of the presidential elections in November. Properties that could be seized by Letitia James On Thursday, James’s office took preliminary steps in Westchester County that indicated that a Trump-owned golf course and estate north of Manhattan could be in line to be seized. Similar steps have been taken in New York City. Here are details of major properties: Nestled amidst the captivating scenery of Westchester County, lies the grand Trump Seven Springs estate, an expansive 230-acre sanctuary spanning three towns: Bedford, Armonk, and Chappaqua. Originally constructed in 1919 by Eugene Meyer, former publisher of the Washington Post and chairman of the Federal Reserve, this splendid mansion was acquired by the Trump Organization in 1996, marking a new chapter in its illustrious history. Over in Briarcliff Manor, the esteemed Trump National Golf Club Westchester sits proudly as a premier private golf destination, encompassing 140 acres of verdant landscape. Its 18-hole course is complemented by a vast 75,000-square-foot clubhouse. Established in 1922 as Briarcliff Country Club, the venue underwent various transformations, later known as Briar Hills Country Club and Briar Hall Golf and Country Club. Watch: US: Donald Trump hurtles towards deadline × On his Truth Social platform, Trump said that putting up the money is “VERY EXPENSIVE” and said it was “not possible for bonding companies to do in such a high amount.” In this case, Trump has the only option to get an appeals court to allow him to post a smaller amount now and defer the rest before Monday's deadline.

US: Time is ticking for Donald Trump

In the Georgia election subversion case, Judge Scott McAfee has granted Donald Trump and his co-defendants the opportunity to appeal his decision regarding the prosecutor Fani Willis. The judge ruled that Willis could continue as long as a co-prosecutor she had a romantic relationship with resigned from the case.

The case against Trump and others, who are charged with plotting to overturn the 2020 US presidential election in which Joe Biden was elected, will proceed while the appeal is underway.

<h2>What is the case about?</h2>

The co-defendant in the Georgia election subversion case&nbsp;Michael Roman alleged that Willis, the Fulton County District Attorney, was improperly benefiting from a romantic relationship with lead prosecutor Nathan Wade. After this, several co-defendants, including Donald Trump sought&nbsp;Willis's disqualification and the dismissal of election subversion charges.

Willis later admitted to the relationship with Wade but denied any financial benefit.

Judge McAfee's ruling denounced Willis for a "serious lapse in judgment" and added that the relationship tainted the case's integrity with the "appearance of impropriety."

The judge presented the prosecution with an ultimatum: either Wade resigns, or Willis and her office are removed from the case. Wade promptly resigned following the decision.

<h2>What next?</h2>

On Wednesday (March 20), the court approved the defence's motion to appeal and added the allegations against Willis as crucial to the case's integrity. The court would continue proceedings in the election subversion case while Trump and his co-defendants pursue their appeal.
