    Anti-Whaling Campaigner Paul Watson Arrested In Greenland

    Hand out screen grab shows Paul Watson being arrested in greenland and being escorted off boat. Head down and handcuffed, NGO Sea Shepherd founder Paul Watson, 73, followed Danish police officers to their vehicle in Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, an autonomous territory under Danish rule. On Sunday, July 21, 2024, law enforcement officers boarded the vessel John Paul DeJoria, on which the American-Canadian activist was sailing. The reason: an Interpol Red Notice, an international arrest warrant issued at Japan's request 12 years ago for anti-whaling activities in the Antarctic that allegedly caused damage and injury in 2010. The activist's stopover in Nuuk was to refuel before continuing on to the North Pacific, as part of a mission targeting the Kangei Maru, Japan's new whaling factory ship. Currently in pre-trial detention, the activist faces extradition to Japan and a potentially harsh sentence there. Photo by Sea Sheperd France via ABACAPRESS.COM

An oilfield was discovered in the South China Sea, and it has proven oil and gas reserves reaching 102 million tonnes of oil equivalent, according to the China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) on Friday. The Kaiping South oilfield, featuring light crude oil, is located in the eastern part of the South China Sea, approximately 300 km from Shenzhen, Guangdong Province. The average depth of the ocean at the oilfield is about 500 meters and the deepest hole drilled is 4,831 meters deep. Zhou Xinhuai, chief executive officer of the CNOOC, said exploring deep water and drilling deep holes will lead to an increase in oil and gas reserves and output. (Xinhua)
