Cruise ship believed to be the world’s most expensive coming to Southern California

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:23:45 GMT

When the supposed most expensive luxury cruise ship ever built sails into Los Angeles Harbor early next year, she will have onboard a prized art collection with the first Fabergé egg permanently on display at sea along with something else that California probably hasn’t seen — or sniffed — in the 31-year history of Regent Seven Seas: a vessel barely out of the shipyard.That rare new-ship smell awaits cruisers boarding the Seven Seas Grandeur on Jan. 8 from San Pedro’s World Cruise Center. When the future fleet flagship welcomes her first embarking passengers out of L.A., the $545-million vessel will have only completed four itineraries. For the fifth, this one starting in the shadow of a just-turned 60-year-old Vincent Thomas Bridge, Grandeur will go back to Miami the same way she came: a 16-night sail through the Panama Canal.The Italian-built, 746-passenger ship is a sister to Seven Seas Splendor, which debuted in 2020, and the 2016-christened Seven Seas Explorer. And what a lovel...

Aggressive turkeys have reportedly been “following” and “intimidating” residents in Dedham, south of Boston, according to police who posted safety tips as turkey breeding season ramps up this spring.Breeding season is from March to May, leading to a jump in turkey activity around the region and incidents involving humans.“Animal Control has received a few reports of turkeys, ‘following’ and ‘intimidating’ residents — as well as a USPS letter carrier,” Dedham Police wrote on Facebook on Tuesday.“The increase in activity is due to male turkeys establishing dominance amongst their (male) peers; the increase in intimidation and aggression towards humans is due to turkeys having become habituated around humans — because humans are feeding them — whether intentionally or unintentionally,” police added.Related ArticlesLocal News | The pets she lost in the fire: Caterina Scorsone fans mourn her cats and dog Local News | Alex the Great (Rabbit) takes his furry bows...

(KRON) -- California's reservoirs had incredible transformations this winter as atmospheric rivers soaked the state with rainwater. Impressive new data released by the California Department of Water Resources on Wednesday shows the state's second-biggest reservoir, Lake Oroville, is currently at 83% capacity, with 2.9 million acre-feet of water. The largest reservoir in the state, Lake Shasta, is at 85% capacity. San Luis Reservoir near Gilroy is up to the brim, at 99% capacity, while Cachuma Reservoir in Santa Barbara County is at 98% capacity. reservoirs-april-2023DownloadThe Department of Water Resources wrote Tuesday, "Storms California has experienced this year have led to one of the largest snowpacks on record. While these winter storms have helped the snowpack and reservoirs, we’re preparing with local agencies for the upcoming Spring snowmelt season."Reservoirs look dramatically different this April compared to the past three years, when a severe drought left the state parch...

Mexico’s president calls charges against Trump political

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:23:45 GMT

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico’s president said Wednesday he opposes the criminal charges filed against former U.S. President Donald Trump, suggesting they were brought for political reasons during an electoral campaign. President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said the charges filed in New York against Trump, who is campaigning to regain the presidency in the 2024 election, represented “the degradation of due respect for the law.”“I don’t agree with what they are doing to former President Trump,” López Obrador said at his morning news briefing. “I do not know if crimes were committed, it’s not my place.” “Supposedly legal, judicial issues should not be used for political, electoral purposes,” he said. “Don’t make up crimes to affect adversaries.”López Obrador had a strangely warm relationship with Trump in 2019 and 2020, despite the former U.S. president’s frequent criticisms of Mexico and migrants, and his plans to build a wall between the two countries.In fact, López Ob...

UK to house 500 asylum seekers on barge docked off Dorset

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:23:45 GMT

LONDON (AP) — Some 500 asylum-seekers in the U.K. will be housed on a barge docked off the south coast of England, the British government said Wednesday of its latest measure aimed at discouraging migrants from crossing the English Channel in small unseaworthy boats. The housing plan is part of a broader effort by the Conservative government to curb migration and cut hotel bills that cost taxpayers 2.3 billion-pounds ($2.9 billion) a year amid a backlog of hundreds of thousands of asylum cases. It could take months before the barge, currently in Italy, is anchored at Portland, off the Dorset coast. The government’s plan could face legal challenges along with other forms of opposition. Human rights groups said the barge would be a cruel place to house vulnerable people fleeing war and the idea should be scrapped along with a plan to move thousands of migrants to barracks at unused military bases.“Confining hundreds of people in isolation on a barge is just more of the political...
