COPENHAGEN — Today, 25 years ago, one of the worst accidents in rock history occurred at the Roskilde Festival in Denmark: nine young men lost their lives in the chaos that unfolded during a Pearl Jam concert.Rasmus Thirup Beck, a journalist who attended the Pearl Jam concert in 2000 shared his memories with Danish TV on the anniversary:"At some point, we see on the big screen that a completely lifeless body is lifted up over the barrier, and another one a little later and so on. We were completely shaken, and people began to cry around us and so on. We did not know what had happened. We only knew that something really bad had happened."During the show, frontman Eddie Vedder tried to get the thousands of fans to stop pushing forward, but it was too late. The US rock band have...

Syrian charged over plot to attack Taylor Swift Vienna concert

VIENNA — A young Syrian national has been charged with supporting a foreign terror group over a foiled plot to attack a Taylor Swift concert in Vienna last August.Mohamed A, who is described by German authorities as a juvenile and not in custody, is accused of following the ideology of jihadist group Islamic State (IS) and helping another suspect to prepare the attack.Concert organisers called off Taylor Swift's three sold-out gigs on the eve of the first show at Vienna's Ernst Happel Stadium last year, disappointing tens of thousands of fans during her Eras Tour.Authorities arrested several suspects at the time saying they appeared to have been inspired by IS and al-Qaeda."Mohammad A has adhered since April 2024 at the latest to the ideology of the terrorist organisation...

Brad Pitt's Los Angeles home 'ransacked', police say

Work begins to create artificial human DNA from scratch

LONDON — Work has begun on a controversial project to create the building blocks of human life from scratch, in what is believed to be a world first.The research has been taboo until now because of concerns it could lead to designer babies or unforeseen changes for future generations.But now the world's largest medical charity, the Wellcome Trust, has given an initial £10m to start the project and says it has the potential to do more good than harm by accelerating treatments for many incurable diseases.Dr Julian Sale, of the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, who is part of the project, told BBC News the research was the next giant leap in biology."The sky is the limit. We are looking at therapies that will improve people's lives as they age, that will lead...

The boomerang was found near stones, animal and human bones

World's oldest boomerang doesn't actually come back

WARSAW — The world's oldest boomerang is older than previously thought, casting new light on the ingenuity of humans living at the time.The tool, which was found in a cave in Poland in 1985, is now thought to be 40,000 years old.Archaeologists say it was fashioned from a mammoth's tusk with an astonishing level of skill.Researchers worked out from its shape that it would have flown when thrown, but would not have come back to the thrower.It was probably used in hunting, though it might have had cultural or artistic value, perhaps being used in some kind of ritual.The mammoth ivory boomerang was unearthed in Oblazowa Cave in southern Poland.It was originally thought to be about 30,000 years old. But new, more reliable radiocarbon dating of human and animal bones found at the site...

Millions of children at risk as vaccine uptake stalls

LONDON — Progress in vaccinating children against a variety of life-threatening diseases has stalled in the past two decades — and even gone backwards in some countries — a new global study suggests.The situation has been made worse by the Covid pandemic, leaving millions of children unprotected from diseases such as measles, tuberculosis and polio.The researchers are calling for a concerted effort to provide better and more equal access to vaccines.Child health experts warn that cuts to international aid budgets that fund vaccination programs, combined with vaccine scepticism, are creating a "perfect storm".The global childhood vaccination program has been a huge success.Since 1974, more than four billion children have been vaccinated, preventing an estimated 150 million...

Two European satellites mimic total solar eclipse as scientists aim to study corona

PARIS — A pair of European satellites have created the first artificial solar eclipse by flying in precise formation, providing hours of on-demand totality for scientists.The European Space Agency released the eclipse pictures at the Paris Air Show on Monday.Launched late last year, the orbiting duo have churned out simulated solar eclipses since March while zooming tens of thousands of kilometers above Earth.Flying 150 meters apart, one satellite blocks the sun like the moon does during a natural total solar eclipse as the other aims its telescope at the corona, the sun's outer atmosphere that forms a crown or halo of light.It's an intricate, prolonged dance requiring extreme precision by the cube-shaped spacecraft, less than 1.5 meters in size.Their flying accuracy needs to be...
