Man Dies in Shark Attack Off Cape Cod, Police Report A man was bitten by a shark Saturday in the water off a Cape Cod beach and died later at a hospital, becoming the state's first shark attack fatality in more than 80 years. The 26-year-old man from Revere succumbed to his injuries following the attack off Newcomb Hollow Beach in Wellfleet at around noon, Wellfleet Police Lt. Michael Hurley said. Joe Booth, a local fisherman and surfer, said he was on shore when he saw the man and his friend boogie-boarding when the attack happened. He said he saw the man aggressively kick something behind him and a flicker of a tail from the water. He realized what was happening when the friend came ashore dragging his injured friend. "I was that guy on the beach screaming, 'Shark, shark!' '' Booth said. "It was like right out of that movie Jaws. This has turned into Amity Island real quick out here.'' Booth said others on the beach tried to make a tourniquet for the injured man's wounds, while others frantically called 911. Stunned onlooker Hayley Williamson, a Cape Cod resident and former lifeguard who was on the beach at the time, was in disbelief after the man was rushed into an ambulance. "We've been surfing all morning right here and they were just further down,'' she said of the two boogie-boarders. "Right spot, wrong time, I guess.'' Lifesaving measures were attempted on the beach before the man was taken to Cape Cod Hospital in Hyannis, where he was pronounced dead, State Police spokesman David Procopio said. The beach has been closed to swimming. The family of the victim was notified of the death but his name was not released, Procopio said. It was the first fatal shark attack in Massachusetts since 1936, and the second shark attack this season. A 61-year-old New York man was severely injured Aug. 15 after fighting off a shark off Truro, about four miles north of Saturday's attack. He's recovering in a Boston hospital. "Today is just keeping everyone out of water,'' Hurley said. "There'll be a determination later about what the town wants to do with the beaches going forward.'' Busy day Beachgoers said the Wellfleet beach is popular with surfers, and with sunny skies and warm temperatures Saturday it was busy, even though the summer season was over and lifeguards were no longer on watch. There have been frequent shark sightings this summer along the outer cape, often leading to beach closings. The National Park Service, which manages many of the picturesque beaches where white sharks tend to congregate, said it closed beaches for at least an hour about 25 times this year — more than double the annual average. A Cape Cod politician said officials who did not take more aggressive action against sharks bore some responsibility for the fatal attack. Barnstable County Commissioner Ron Beaty said he had warned something like this could happen and urged measures to reduce the number of white sharks. The state's last shark attack fatality was on July 25, 1936, when Joseph Troy Jr., 16, was bitten in waters off Mattapoisett. Troy, of Boston's Dorchester neighborhood, was visiting an uncle and was swimming about 50 feet offshore when the shark attacked.

Rwandan Opposition Leader, 2,100 Others Walk Free from Prison One of Rwanda's most prominent opposition leaders walked free Saturday after the government approved the early release of more than 2,100 prisoners with little explanation. Supporters of Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza and the state-run The New Times newspaper posted photos of the opposition leader walking out of Nyarugenge prison hours after the justice ministry's announcement. Also approved for early release was musician Kizito Mihigo, who along with Ingabire received a presidential commutation. The ministry statement said both had made their most recent requests for clemency in June. Ingabire, head of the FDU-Inkingi opposition party, was arrested in 2010 and found guilty of conspiracy to undermine the government and denying Rwanda's 1994 genocide, charges that she denied. She was sentenced to 15 years. Human Rights Watch has called the charges politically motivated and linked to her criticism of the government ahead of the 2010 presidential election. Mihigo had been convicted on charges of conspiring against the government. Rwanda's government has long been accused by rights groups of suppressing the opposition and having a justice system that lacks independence, which the government has denied. Human Rights Watch has expressed concern that the government uses accusations of "genocide ideology" as a way to silence critics. Still detained in Rwanda is Diane Rwigara, who tried to challenge longtime President Paul Kagame in last year's election but was disqualified from running over allegations that she forged some of the signatures on her nomination papers. She denied it. Rwigara later was charged with inciting insurrection against the state.

Florence, Mangkhut and Climate Change: Yes, No and Maybe The seas are angry this month. While the remnants of Hurricane Florence soak the Carolinas and Typhoon Mangkhut pounds the Philippines, three more tropical cyclones are spinning in the Western Hemisphere, and one is petering out over Southeast Asia. Experts say some of this extreme tropical weather is consistent with climate change. But some isn't. And some is unclear. It's unusual to have so many storms happening at once. But not unheard of. "While it is very busy, this has happened a number of times in the past," said meteorologist Joel Cline at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Mid-September is the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season. If there are going to be storms in both hemispheres, Cline said, now is the most likely time. Stronger storms, and a grain of salt Scientists are not necessarily expecting more hurricanes with climate change, however. "A lot of studies actually (show) fewer storms overall," said NOAA climate scientist Tom Knutson. "But one thing they also tend to simulate is slightly stronger storms" and a larger proportion of Category 4 or 5 hurricanes, Knutson said. Florence made landfall as a Category 1 storm but started the week as a Category 4. Knutson and other experts caution that any conclusions linking climate and hurricanes need to be taken with a grain of salt. "Our period of record is too short to be very confident in these sorts of things," said University of Miami atmospheric scientist Brian McNoldy. While reliable temperature records go back more than a century in much of the world, comprehensive data on hurricanes only starts with satellites in the 1980s. Extreme rainfall Scientists are fairly sure that climate change is making extreme rainfall more common. Global warming has raised ocean temperatures, leading to more water evaporating into the atmosphere, and warmer air holds more water. Florence is expected to dump up to 101 centimeters (40 inches) of rain in some spots, leading to what the National Weather Service calls life-threatening flooding. One group of researchers has estimated that half of the rain falling in the hurricane's wettest areas is because of human-caused climate change. Knutson agrees in principle but can't vouch for the magnitude. "We do not yet claim that we have detected this increase in hurricane rainfall rate," he said. He points to earlier studies that blamed climate change for 15 to 20 percent of the devastating rainfall Hurricane Harvey poured on Texas last year. However, these studies looked at all kinds of rainfall, not just hurricanes, Knutson notes. "We think that hurricanes are probably behaving like the other types of processes, but we have the best data for extreme precipitation in general," he explained. The latest United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report has "medium confidence" in the link between climate change and rainfall extremes. As Florence trudges across the Carolinas, one recent study suggests that hurricanes are moving slower, giving them more time to do their damage. But that may be natural variation more than climate change. "I think we're still early in the game on that one," Knutson said. Rising sea levels The area where scientists are most confident is sea level rise. Climate change is responsible for three-quarters of the increase in ocean levels, according to the IPCC report. "Once you have human-caused sea level rise, then all other things being equal, whatever storms you have will create that much higher storm surge," Knutson said. That means more erosion and more damage farther on shore. Whether this hurricane season as a whole will be one for the record books remains to be seen. While the seas are angry at the moment, that may soon change. An El Niño warming pattern appears to be developing in the Pacific. That tends to squash hurricane activity in the Atlantic. "It appears that perhaps next week will be much more quiet in both basins," said NOAA's Joel Cline. "So it does ebb and flow."

Rwandan President Pardons Jailed Opposition Leader Rwandan President Paul Kagame has pardoned jailed opposition leader Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza. A cabinet statement issued Friday evening announced the pardon, part of an early release for 1,140 convicts. Another person who received a pardon by the president was popular musician Kizito Mihigo. The cabinet statement said the "sentences were commuted by presidential prerogative" following the convicts' most recent applications for clemency in June. It noted that Rwanda's constitution gives the president "authority to exercise the prerogative of mercy in accordance with the procedures provided for by law and after consultation with the Supreme Court." Ingabire, who was sentenced in 2013, was serving 15 years on charges of terrorism. Human Rights Watch said the charges against Ingabire, who was trying to challenge Kagame in the 2010 elections, were politically motivated. Ingabire was accused of collaborating with the mainly Hutu Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR) rebel group operating in neighboring Democratic Republic of the Congo. Kagame's government has often accused the FDLR of playing a part in the country's 1994 genocide in which hundreds of thousands of Rwandans were killed in a 100-day massacre. Ingabire had always denied the charges against her. Mihigo was sentenced to 10 years in 2015 for conspiring against the government. Mihigo, a Tutsi survivor of Rwanda's 1994 genocide, was well-known for singing the national anthem at official ceremonies. The year of his arrest, he released a song called Meaning of Death that was banned by the authorities, apparently for touching on sensitive issues about the genocide.

Governor: California to Launch Climate Satellite California Gov. Jerry Brown said Friday that the state plans to launch its "own damn satellite" into orbit to battle climate change. The man the late Chicago columnist Mike Royko famously dubbed "Gov. Moonbeam" made the announcement at the conclusion of a two-day climate summit he organized in San Francisco. Brown said state officials will work with the San Francisco-based company Planet Labs to develop a satellite to track climate-change causing pollutants. Brown said the earth-imaging company has launched 150 satellites. "With science still under attack and the climate threat growing, we're launching our own damn satellite," he said. The Democrat, who is leaving office at the end of the year, didn't announce a launch date or divulge a cost estimate. Brown's office said government scientists and staff will work on the project, but that no state money will be spent directly developing the satellite. Private donations are being made by San Francisco investment banker Richard Lawrence and his wife, Dee Lawrence, along with the Jeremy and Hannelore Grantham Environmental Trust. Idea from 2016 Brown foreshadowed the announcement in a December 2016 speech to the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco a month after Trump's election. The then-president elect had threatened to scrap NASA's climate change funding. "If Trump turns off the satellites, California will launch its own damn satellite," Brown said at the time to cheers and applause from the geophysicists. "We're going to collect that data." He also reminded them that he had floated a similar proposal during his first term as governor in the 1970s. The Chicago Sun-Times columnist gave Brown the Moonbeam moniker in 1976. Royko said that Brown appeared to be attracting "the moonbeam vote." The name stuck for decades, even after Royko, who died in 1997, apologized and tried to retract it. Brown used to dislike the name but more recently has embraced it. Paris climate accord Before Brown's announcement, two prominent Democrats and a Republican mayor criticized Trump for his decision to withdraw the United States from the landmark Paris climate accord. "While Donald Trump may have pulled out of the climate agreement, the American people have not," former Secretary of State John Kerry said opening the second day of the Global Climate Action Summit. Kerry, also a Democrat, called Trump's decision "the single greatest act of irresponsibility of any president of the United States at any time." Trump announced in June 2017 the United States' intention to pull out of the international agreement, which Kerry signed while serving as President Barack Obama's secretary of state. The 195 countries that signed the treaty agreed to commit resources to combat climate change Trump said the agreement was unfair to the United States and would hurt the economy. Former Vice President Al Gore followed Kerry to the stage and got a rousing ovation when he said a new president can rejoin the Paris Agreement. Gore, a Democrat, also criticized Trump's recent denial that 3,000 people died in Puerto Rico in 2017 because of Hurricane Maria. Gore said it's difficult to deny that climate change is causing more severe weather but that "It's a little harder to deny the 3,000 deaths from the hurricane in Puerto Rico." Republican accomplishments James Brainard, Republican mayor of Carmel, Indiana, listed a number of Republican presidents and their environmental accomplishments, including President Nixon's creation of the Environmental Protection Agency. He said he was disappointed Trump pulled out of the Paris Agreement. "The president likes to talk about what a great country we are," Brainard said. "Great countries honor their international agreements. Great countries show leadership to the rest of the world on critical issues. Great countries listen to their scientists and great countries strive to leave the world better than they found it."

In Mozambique, Conservationists Try to Curb Child Marriage Girls take turns to read aloud under a tree in rural Mozambique, part of a project by Gorongosa National Park to educate them and keep them out of child marriage. The club meetings operate in 50 schools on the edge of the park, whose managers believe helping communities is key to conservation. Many girls in the southern African nation are particularly vulnerable, marrying and giving birth in their teens. "We try to make a safe place for them to be able to speak up," said Larissa Sousa, manager of the program for girls who also learn about health and family planning and take trips to see Gorongosa's wildlife. About 2,000 girls are participating. It could take a generation to persuade communities to let girls stay longer in school rather than drop out, marry and give birth in line with old customs, Sousa said. The girls' clubs, which started two years ago, are gaining some acceptance after talks with local leaders and others, she said. The emphasis on girls is part of a wider campaign to restore Gorongosa, led by a joint venture between a non-profit group founded by American philanthropist Greg Carr and the Mozambican government. Much of Gorongosa's wildlife was wiped out during the nearly two-decade civil war that ended in 1992. The park is in an opposition area in central Mozambique, where political tensions led to sporadic clashes in the last few years. Child marriage around the world has declined in past decades but progress has been slow, according to the U.N. children's agency. Mozambique has one of the highest rates of child marriage in the world, UNICEF says. Mozambican parents who give girls away in marriage benefit from a payment made by the bridegroom's family, and it also "removes a mouth to feed — an important consideration for families living below or only slightly above the poverty line," UNICEF said. One aim of the Gorongosa clubs is to help the girls understand that, once armed with an education, they can seek the same kinds of opportunities as the boys. Some boys have been allowed to join in the club's activities. The legal age of marriage in the southern African country is 18, though it can be 16 if parents give consent. Girls and young women are vulnerable to HIV infection, and many women are illiterate. "Children shouldn't be having children. It's dangerous," Carr said. "When women are educated, all of society benefits."

WFP Food Stocks Under Attack in Yemen's Port City of Hodeidah The World Food Program (WFP) said humanitarian workers, warehouses and food stocks in Yemen's port city of Hodeidah have come under attack in recent days, jeopardizing vital assistance programs. The WFP warns the rapidly deteriorating security situation in Hodeidah is threatening its life-saving operations for hundreds of thousands of people. Last month, the WFP provided emergency food rations to around 700,000 out of 900,000 people at extreme risk. The WFP reports several serious security incidents have occurred since Wednesday. It said the Red Sea Mill Silos, which mill a quarter of the WFP's monthly wheat requirements, came under attack. A mortar shell launched by an unidentified armed group also hit a WFP warehouse holding enough food for 19,200 people. The agency said a guard was injured. WFP spokesman Herve Verhoosel told VOA none of the food was stolen, but, for security reasons, he said WFP has not been able to use its trucks to transport and deliver the food to the hungry. "It is very important that … every party respect the work of the humanitarian — that WFP or other agencies are not used politically or militarily for any reason," he said. "We are there as a neutral party to help the population in need in the country. And, hunger is, of course, one of the most important problems for the moment. We need to find a way to deliver the food to the people in need." Verhoosel said 46,000 tons of wheat are expected to arrive in Hodeidah within the next week-and-a-half. But he fears ongoing clashes could jeopardize the shipment. WFP reports more than 8 million people in Yemen are facing starvation and warns any disruption to the food supply could push many over the brink. U.S.-backed Yemeni government forces have been fighting al-Qaida-linked militants in the country for years. The port of Hodeida is held by Houthi rebels. Crucial humanitarian aid goes through the port, although the Yemeni government accuses the Houthis of using the port to smuggle weapons.

EU Pleads for Cooperation to Avoid Clock-Change Chaos The European Union on Friday urged member countries to work together to avoid turning Europe into a confusing patchwork of different time zones, after announcing plans to abolish seasonal clock changes. The European Commission wants to end the longstanding practice of putting clocks forward an hour in the spring and back an hour in the autumn, arguing that it causes unjustified disruption. Each EU country is being asked to decide whether it wants to stay permanently on what is now their summer or their winter time. This will end the twice-yearly ritual of time changes, but raises the possibility that neighboring countries such as Belgium and the Netherlands could end up an hour apart. To avoid a mishmash of time zones in neighboring countries, the bloc's Transport Commissioner Violeta Bulc, who is leading the initiative, urged governments to cooperate as they make their choice. "Member states now have to decide — either they want to stick with summer or winter time," Bulc told reporters. "In order to maintain a harmonized approach, we are encouraging consultations at national levels to ensure a coordinated approach of all member states." Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker announced the plan unexpectedly last month after an online consultation which generated some 4.6 million responses from EU citizens — mostly from Germany, where the clock change is a major issue. Brexit issue The proposal also raises a fresh Brexit conundrum: If it goes ahead, EU member Ireland will stop changing the clocks, but British-ruled Northern Ireland will continue the practice. The British government said it has "no plans to change daylight saving time," meaning that for six months of every year, Ireland and Northern Ireland would be an hour apart. Bulc did not give a clear response when asked about this issue but pointed to the fact the EU manages to "coexist" with three time zones at present. Ireland's Minister for Justice and Equality Charlie Flanagan said he had taken note of the commission proposal. "There are certain aspects and consequences for us in Ireland that will require careful and detailed consideration and, therefore, I will be listening carefully to the concerns of agencies and stakeholders," Flanagan added. The plan still needs approval by the European Parliament and the 28 member countries but the commission, the bloc's executive arm, hopes to bring in the change as early as next year. Wartime energy Many European countries began changing the clock seasonally in World War I to save energy, with the practice reinforced during World War II and during the energy crisis in the 1970s. The practice has since been harmonized across Europe, with all Europeans advancing their clock by an hour on the last Sunday of March and putting it back an hour on the last Sunday of October. Bulc said the energy-saving justification no longer applied, while commission Vice-President Maros Sefcovic insisted: "Brussels isn't micromanaging people's lives for the sake of it."

DRC Tries to Contain Ebola with New Medical Tools Amid Conflict The Democratic Republic of Congo has yet another Ebola outbreak, its 10th since the virus was first identified in 1976. This latest outbreak started in early August in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the fatality rate is 70 percent. But this outbreak is far different from the one that devastated West Africa a few years ago. Experimental treatments Dr. Anthony Fauci at the National Institutes of Health points to experimental treatments for those who have Ebola, one thing that didn't exist during the outbreak in West Africa. "We have five therapeutics that are available, three of which were being used actively," he said. Cells in our blood, called B cells, fight off infections. Two of the experimental treatments involved copies of antibodies of the B cells that could fight off the Ebola virus. "A person was infected in the 1995 Kikwit outbreak in the DRC," Fauci said. "The person recovered from Ebola, and we brought the person here to the United States at the NIH. We drew their blood. We cloned B cells and then we made the antibody." The treatment is called monoclonal antibody 114. Fauci says it's being given to Ebola patients in the DRC. "So far it's been given to at least 13 people, and 11 of them have been discharged from the hospital," he said, "which is pretty good odds." Many more people need to receive this treatment — and the two others — before we know if any of them actually work. "We're proposing a trial to compare one treatment to another treatment to another treatment," Fauci said. Another tool that doctors have this time is a vaccine that protects people from getting Ebola. The vaccine wasn't available during the height of the outbreak in West Africa. WATCH: DRC Tries to Contain Ebola With New Medical Tools Amid Conflict Frustrating factors But, there are other factors in this outbreak that frustrate the efforts to control the Ebola virus: The outbreak is in a conflict zone, so health workers can't get to everyone who needs treatment or a vaccine. A few people in the city of Butembo, with a population of more than 1 million, have contracted the Ebola virus. The outbreak is near Rwanda and Uganda, and people travel back and forth between the countries to sell and trade goods, so they could also spread Ebola. Despite medical advances, cases keep rising, although not as fast as they did in West Africa. Still, this has Fauci and others very concerned.

'A Star Is Born' Mania Sweeps Over Toronto Film Festival The response to Bradley Cooper's romantic saga "A Star Is Born" has been intense. Critics have boasted of crying uncontrollably. Fans outside theaters have swooned for its star, Lady Gaga. Words like "glorious," "rapturous" and, of course, "gaga" are running rampant. "Having been on the other side of it, when you do something that doesn't do well, people tend to avoid you," Cooper said in an interview alongside his co-star. "I don't see people, like, going the other way as I'm walking down the street." Quite the contrary. Since making landfall at the Toronto International Film Festival, "A Star Is Born" has provoked the kind of mania rarely seen in even the feverish realm of a film festival. It's been hailed as "a transcendent Hollywood movie" (per Variety) and "damned near perfect" (per Rolling Stone). And it has predictably flown to the top of Oscar prediction lists in just about every category, including its original songs. It's a breakthrough for Cooper, directing for the first time, and Gaga, who's leading a movie for the first time. "I have been trying not to read any reviews. But every once in a while, my friends will read over and go (shoving phone in face): 'You have to see this!'" says Gaga. "But I have to say truly, I feel like an audience member now. Watching the film back, it really impacts me on a deep emotional level." And it seems to be impacting those in the audience similarly. Even its trailer, watched by millions on YouTube, has sparked a rare eagerness. Anthony Ramos, who plays a friend of Gaga's character in the film, said he's been constantly harangued about details making the film. "It's lighting in a bottle, man," said Ramos. "From the moment I stepped on set, the way Bradley works and the way Stefani works, I was like, 'This could be crazy.' And sure enough, here we are and people are buggin' out." Acclaim hasn't been universal for "A Star Is Born," which stars Cooper as the seasoned rock star Jackson Maine and Gaga as a struggling artist he falls in love with. Its sheer popularity is certain to engender the kinds of waves of backlash that are typical of any big cultural force parading through Oscar season. Warner Bros. will release the film Oct. 5 and is planning a sizable awards campaign. It's the third remake of the original 1937 film, following the 1954 version with Judy Garland and James Mason, and the more rocking 1976 version, with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson. This remake was initially developed with Clint Eastwood directing and Beyonce potentially starring. Cooper first discussed the role with Eastwood, his "American Sniper" director, before ultimately taking the directing reins himself. In a gesture of encouragement, Eastwood visited the set the first day of shooting. For Lady Gaga, the experience was transformational. She dyed her hair her natural color. She and Cooper performed songs live. "There can be a 100 people in the room and 99 don't believe in you, and just one does. And it can change everything," Gaga said at the press conference. "I wouldn't be here if Bradley didn't believe me. My dad, and also Bradley." "I wanted to give everything that I had, every last drop of blood, all my fear, all my shame, all my love, all my kindness," she added. "I wanted to give it to him."

Guatemalans Protest Against Pressure on Anti-graft Body Hundreds of peasant farmers and indigenous Maya blocked a major highway in Guatemala's western highlands on Monday, demanding that President Jimmy Morales reverse a policy aimed at forcing a U.N.-backed anti-graft unit to leave the country. Groups representing the protesters said in a statement they planned more rallies over the next two days, including in capital Guatemala City, after Morales announced at the end of August that he would not renew the mandate of the International Commission Against Impunity in Guatemala (CICIG). Although CICIG can operate in Guatemala until the end of next year, Morales' government applied further pressure last week by prohibiting Ivan Velasquez, the head of the investigative unit, from returning to Guatemala, for reasons of "public security." Morales' predecessor is in prison and standing trial for running a customs racket uncovered by CICIG. Last year, the commission started investigating the current president's family for alleged corruption and supported an impeachment of Morales. Morales, a former comedian elected in 2015, denies any wrongdoing and says the CICIG has overstepped its remit. Protesters in the western highlands town of Solola brandished placards demanding Morales resign, broadcast images showed. "We believe the leadership of commissioner Velasquez is important for the fight against corruption," said protester Josue Chavajay by phone. "Guatemala has changed, it is not the same as it was three years ago (when Morales was elected)," said Chavajay. The CICIG was formed in 2006 to help Guatemalan prosecutors break a cycle of impunity that helped organized crime penetrate government in the Central American country, and it is credited with improving the justice system. Morales' decision to end the body's charter in Guatemala was heavily criticized by the United Nations and European countries. The U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations also questioned the move in a letter to U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Friday, pointing out that U.S.-donated military vehicles had appeared near the CICIG headquarters and the U.S. embassy on the day of the announcement by Morales, who spoke while flanked by soldiers. The deployment of the vehicles "appeared intended to send a political message," said the letter, calling the move "unacceptable." Guatemala had a series of military governments in the 1970s and 1980s, and the military remains influential in politics. The U.S. State Department, which has backed the CICIG in the past, has been more ambiguous in its comments. Pompeo called Morales last week and expressed "continued support for a reformed CICIG," spokeswoman Heather Nauert said on Thursday. U.S. funding is important for the CICIG. Morales has been one of the few world leaders to back U.S. President Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital by shifting the Guatemalan embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. On Monday, the head of the U.N. human rights office, former Chilean President Michelle Bachelet, said the decisions to end the CICIG mandate and block Velasquez were "deplorable." Last week, the Guatemalan government asked U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres not to interfere in the country's affairs after he expressed concern about the decisions.

Japan's Bid to End Whaling Ban is Top Issue at Conference Japan will once again try to get the international ban on whale hunting overturned at the global conference of the International Whaling Commission (IWC), which opened in Brazil on Monday. The proposal presented by Japan says, "Science is clear: there are certain species of whales whose population is healthy enough to be harvested sustainably.'' While the Japanese proposal is supported by other traditional whaling countries, such as Iceland and Norway, it faces fierce opposition from countries such as Australia and Brazil, and the European Union, as well as from numerous environmental groups. Japan, which has pushed for an amendment to the ban for years, accuses the IWC of siding with anti-whaling nations rather than trying to reach a compromise between conservationists and whalers. Whale meat has been a a traditional part of the Japanese diet for centuries. After the IWC adopted a ban on commercial whaling in 1982, Japan, Norway and Iceland continued to hunt whales. Tokyo justified the practice as a part of scientific research, which was allowed by the moratorium. But in 2014, the International Court of Justice ruled that Japan's whaling practice had no scientific basis, but instead it was a way to keep the industry alive. This year, Japan wants to establish a Sustainable Whaling Committee to oversee the hunting of healthy whale populations for commercial purposes. But environmentalists say allowing even limited hunting of the mammoth mammals will only again push the species to the brink of extinction. Brazil introduced proposal Monday that says hunting whales is "no longer a necessary economic activity." Australia has vowed to lead the charge against reinstatement of commercial whaling and it has the strong backing of New Zealand, the European Union and the United States. Japan's proposal will likely be put to a vote sometime before the conference ends on Sept. 14.
