Trillion-tonne iceberg breaks off Antarctica
A Delaware-sized iceberg, one of the largest ever seen, was set adrift after snapping from a West Antarctic ice shelf that will be closely watched for signs of collapse, scientists said Wednesday. A crack in the Larsen C ice shelf, a drifting extension of the land-based ice sheet, finally broke through after inching its way across the frozen formation for years. It created an iceberg of about 5,800 square kilometres (2,200 square miles), with a volume twice that of Lake Erie, one of the North American Great Lakes.
Russia magnate calls Trump Jr emails 'fiction'
A Russian billionaire on Wednesday blasted claims in emails released by Donald Trump Jr that he was a potential middleman for alleged incriminating Kremlin material on Hillary Clinton, as Moscow again denied any role in the scandal. The emails have thrust US leader Donald Trump's eldest son into the centre of a growing firestorm over whether the president's allies colluded with Moscow in its alleged efforts to tilt last year's election in the Republican's favour. A June 2016 email from British music promoter Rob Goldstone to Trump Jr released on Tuesday claims an offer was allegedly made by Russia's general prosecutor to provide the Trump campaign with "official documents" on Clinton during a meeting with real estate mogul Aras Agalarov.
