☆ Plague linked to mysterious disappearance of Europe’s first farmers
  + stars: | 2024-07-10 | by ( Katie Hunt | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +7 min
CNN —The oldest known plague victims date back to around 5,000 years ago in Europe. Genetic time travelGenetic information about pathogens can be preserved in human DNA, allowing scientists to time travel to find out about ancient diseases and how they evolved. (It’s also not possible to know for sure whether the people studied died of the plague — only that they were infected.) Karl-Göran SjögrenNonetheless, the study authors said their findings did not necessarily suggest a swift and deadly plague epidemic. Instead, the team found evidence of three distinct infection events, plus different variants of the bacterium that causes plague.

The U.S. Navy's Bahrain-based 5th Fleet published photos and details of its investigation into the attack on the Liberian-flagged Pacific Zircon tanker, including debris from the Shahed-136 drone itself. In a statement, the Navy said the drone ripped a 30-inch-wide (76 cm) hole into the back of the ship, and the explosive impact damaged a shipboard boiler, potable water tank and life raft. Gulf waters have in recent years seen attacks on tankers that have come at times of heightened regional tensions with Iran. In July 2021, a suspected drone attack hit a petroleum product tanker managed by an Israeli firm off Oman's coast.

☆ US Navy finds the same kind of Iranian suicide drone Russia has been using against Ukraine was used to attack a tanker

The US Navy identified the drone as a Shahed-136, which Russia has been using to attack Ukrainian cities. The tanker, Pacific Zircon, came under attack in the evening on November 15. The next day, US Navy explosive ordnance technicians boarded the wounded tanker to collect debris and inspect the damage. The one-way UAV attack tore a 30-inch-wide hole in the outer hull on the starboard side of the ship’s stern, just below the main deck. Meanwhile, last week's Shahed-136 attack is the second time this month that US Navy forces have reported Iranian influence in waters near the Middle East.
☆ Bahrain energy strategy expected in six months, nogaholding CEO says

ABU DHABI, Nov 1 (Reuters) - Bahrain's energy strategy and its state oil holding firm's operation plan are likely to be decided in six months with implementation to begin a year later, the firm's CEO Mark Thomas said on Tuesday. "Junk"-rated Bahrain, a small non-OPEC oil producer, is one of the most indebted countries in the region, and seeks to capitalise on high energy prices. He said international oil firms and regional oil giants Saudi Aramco and ADNOC were being looked at as examples. Nogaholding hired banks to set up an environmental, social and governance (ESG) framework earlier this year, Thomas said, declining to name the banks. That framework is expected to be completed in a few months and will allow the company to issue green bonds if it decides to do so, he added.
