The Latest: Death toll in migrant boat sinking rises to 25
Turkey's state-run news agency says the coast guard has recovered the bodies of seven more migrants off Turkey's Aegean coast, raising the death toll in the migrant tragedy to 25. The Greek coast guard says that a total of 406 migrants have been rescued at sea off three Aegean Sea islands in six separate operations. NATO has announced that the alliance is expanding its mission in the Aegean to shut down the smuggling of migrants to Greece and into Europe, and said it included greater cooperation with European Union border agency. The stretch of Mediterranean between NATO allies Greece and Turkey is a key area where smugglers have been bringing tens of thousands of migrants into the European Union. Tsipras said that in facing a potential flow of millions of migrants, the EU is feeling the consequences of "unreasonable ... imperialistic interventions" in the Middle East that have destroyed organized states, an apparent reference to Iraq and Syria. Turkey's state-run news agency says 18 migrants have drowned off the Turkish coast while trying to reach Greece. Anadolu Agency says the coast guard rescued 15 other migrants off the Aegean Sea resort of Didim. Greek police officials say Macedonian authorities have imposed further restrictions on refugees trying to cross the border, saying only those from cities they consider to be at war can enter.

At least 10 shot and killed by men dressed in police uniforms in Honduras
[Honduras violence]REUTERS/Jorge Cabrera TEGUCIGALPA (Reuters) - At least 10 people were shot dead by men dressed in police uniforms in an attack in the Honduran capital of Tegucigalpa on Saturday, security and hospital forces said. Five men arrived in a vehicle at a billiards hall in the violent northeastern December 1 neighborhood and opened fire with AK-47 assault rifles. The men wore police clothing when they attacked, killing eight people and injuring others, said a security ministry source who asked not to be named. Two other people later died at the Hospital Escuela Universitario, hospital spokesman Miguel Osorio said. There are 16 homicides on average in Honduras every day, mostly due to drug cartels and territorial disputes by violent gangs dedicated to extortion.

10 incredible facts about the deep ocean
[ocean water]Reuters/Dan Kitwood The ocean is deep. In fact, most of it is deep. Officially anything deeper than just 200 meters is considered the “deep sea”, but the average depth of the entire ocean is about 3.5km and the deepest point – the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench, in the western Pacific – is a little short of 11km down. That means that most of the living space on Earth is in the deep sea. We scientists like to categorize things and the ocean depths are no exception. Depths from the surface to 0.2km is known as the “littoral zone”, from 0.2km to 3km, the “bathyal zone”, and from 3km to 6km, the “abyssal zone”. Anything deeper than that is the “hadal zone”. The hadal zone is largely comprised of deep trenches caused by tectonic plate subduction that drive the vast abyssal plains steeply down to depths of 11,000 meters in places. But even here, animals thrive, blissfully unaware of how little attention they receive. Here’s an insight into their incredible world. 1. THE KINGDOM OF HADES The term “hadal” comes from “Hades,” which refers both to the Greek kingdom of the Underworld and the god of the Underworld himself, Hades (brother of Zeus and Poseidon). The term can also mean the “abode of the dead”. In modern times, Hades is seen as evil, but in mythology he was often portrayed as unreasonably “stringent” rather than actively malicious. Interestingly, he strictly prohibited the inhabitants of his dominion to leave, which is a rather apt analogy for hadal fauna, as these species are often confined to trenches and are rarely capable of going elsewhere. [image 20160229 4080 1n5ald3.JPG]Reuters/Dan Kitwood 2. EXACTLY HOW DEEP IS THE OCEAN? The extreme depths of the hadal trenches were discovered using “bomb sounding”, whereby someone threw a half-pound block of TNT off a ship and the echo was recorded on board the ship. This method was used to sound the depths of many trenches, but the exact depth of the deepest point, currently in the Mariana Trench, is still difficult to compute. Four other trenches, all in the Western Pacific, also exceed 10km: the Tonga, Kuril-Kamchatka, Philippine, and Kermadec trenches. 3. WHO HAS EXPLORED IT? The HMS Challenger expedition (1873 to 1876) was the first to sample hadal depths – having collected sediment from about 8km – although it could not confirm whether or not the sediment was merely the remnants of shallower animals. The 1901 Princess Alice expedition successfully trawled specimens from over 6km. However, it was a 1948 Swedish expedition, which successfully trawled a variety of species from 7km to 8km in the Puerto Rico Trench, that finally proved that life existed at depths greater than 6km. In 1956, the first photographs of the hadal zone were taken by none other than Jacques Cousteau in the Romanche Trough in the Atlantic. 4. HOW BIG IS THE HADAL ZONE? [ocean_layers]Reuters/Dan KitwoodThe hadal zone comprises a series of disjointed trenches and other deep spots. There are 33 trenches and 13 troughs around the world – 46 individual hadal habitats in total. The mean depth of the trenches is 8.216km. The total area of the hadal zone is less than 0.2% of the entire seafloor but accounts for 45% of the total depth range. It is therefore surprising that the deepest 45% of the sea is rarely mentioned in deep sea literature. Of the 33 hadal trenches, 26 (84%) are located in the Pacific, three are found in the Atlantic (8%), two (4%) in the Indian Ocean, and two (4%) in the Southern Ocean. The majority run up the western Pacific. Most of the hadal trenches in their modern form are believed to have formed 65.5m years ago during the Cenozoic period. 5. THE SECRET BEHIND OUR EXISTENCE Earth appears to be the only terrestrial planet with subduction zones and plate tectonics. Both Mercury and the Earth’s moon are tectonically dead. Mars appears to have tectonically ceased, and Venus is dominated by thick lithosphere with mantle plumes. On Earth, subduction zones produce continental crust, which can protrude from the ocean (the continents). It has been speculated that without subduction, the land would still be underwater and terrestrial life, including humans, would never have evolved. 6. WHAT’S IT LIKE DOWN THERE? Bottom water temperatures are cold and vary between 1°C and 4°C. However, hydrostatic pressure increases linearly by 1 atmosphere (atm) for every ten meters of depth. The pressure at hadal depths therefore ranges from 600 to 1,100 atmospheres. The pressure at the deepest point is, therefore, equal to a one tonne weight being placed on the end of your finger. [image 20160229 4080 15cdkcf.JPG]Reuters/Dan Kitwood 7. WHAT LIVES THERE? Many marine organisms are found at hadal depths and the most common groups are the polychaetes, bivalves, gastropods, amphipods and holothurians. All of these groups are found at full-ocean depth and often in large aggregations. Contrary to popular media, the hadal zone is not a mysterious realm inhabited by aliens or “monsters of the deep". Instead, it is a poorly understood region largely inhabited by hoppers, snails, worms, and sea cucumbers. In fact, the upper trenches are inhabited by little pink fish and bright red prawns. 8. BUT THERE ARE SOME HORRORS … In the 1970s, the Puerto Rico Trench was a pharmaceutical waste disposal site. The figures are astonishing: in just five years, more than 387,000 tons of waste material was discarded in the trench, an amount equivalent to 880 Boeing 747s. In addition, the ill-fated Apollo 13 mission to the moon in 1970 carried a radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG) that was supposed to remain on the moon with the lunar lander. The RTG contained 3.9kg of plutonium-238, and in the end was jettisoned over the south-west Pacific, where it reportedly survived re-entry and settled in the Tonga Trench at a depth of 6km to 9km where it should now remain radioactive for several thousand years. 9. TIME-SHIFTING EARTHQUAKES The 2011 magnitude 9.0 Tōhoku-Oki earthquake off Japan was caused by a fault rupture in the Japan Trench. The event and subsequent tsunami left about 20,000 dead or missing and affected more than 35 coastal cities. The quake was followed by 666 aftershocks that exceeded magnitude 5.0. The energy involved in high-magnitude earthquakes originating in trenches is immense. The 2004 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake in the Java Trench caused a sufficiently massive release of energy to alter the Earth’s rotation, shortening the day by 2.68 microseconds. Similarly, the Tōhoku-Oki earthquake shifted the Earth’s axis by between 10cm and 25cm, shortening the day by another 1.8 microseconds. 10. HOW DEEP IS DEEP? One of the most common analogies used in trench science is “Mount Everest would fit into the Mariana Trench with a mile or so to spare”. This is true, and from an evolution and physiology perspective it is immense. Likewise, exploring these extreme depths is highly problematic. [mount everest plane crash]Reuters/Dan Kitwood But how far is 11km really? The Mississippi River is 11km at its widest point, Manhattan Island is twice as long as the Mariana Trench is deep, and assuming the average running speed of Mo Farah at the 2012 Olympics, he could run 11km in 30 minutes. Given how easily we can affect our planet over far larger distances, our effective proximity to these “extreme” locations means even the deepest places on Earth are no longer pristine – and remain hugely vulnerable. _Alan Jamieson, Senior Lecturer, Oceanlab, University of Aberdeen.

EU acting like ‘human trafficker’ of refugees, says Austrian minister

That is simply unacceptable in the long run. The European Union cannot act like a human trafficker.” Restoring the Dublin and Schengen agreements, he said, had to be a priority at the meeting between the EU leaders and Turkey.
