A UAE navy ship patrols the Strait of Hormuz as seen from Mina Al Fajer, United Arab Emirates, Wednesday, March 11, 2026. (AP Photo/Altaf Qadri)2026-03-11T12:38:42Z PARIS (AP) Gasoline prices are rising largely because of the Iran wars impact on the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial passageway for oil and gas from the Persian Gulf. The waterway off Irans coast, now effectively closed, is so vital for the global economy that governments are working on blueprints to speedily reopen it to shipping when the shooting stops.In Europe, French President Emmanuel Macron is leading an international effort to unblock the energy choke point, so that oil, gas and goods could flow freely again when circumstances permit. He envisions countries using warships to escort tankers and container vessels through the strait when fighting is less intense, whenever that may be. Former naval officers who have served in the Hormuz passage say vessels would be sitting ducks, with little room for maneuver in the straits narrow shipping lanes, if foreign naval forces attempted to reopen the waterway before a cessation of hostilities. In todays context, sending warships or civilian vessels into the Strait of Hormuz would be suicidal, French navy retired Vice Adm. Pascal Ausseur said in an interview with The Associated Press. A ceasefire agreement with Iran would make the situation shift from suicidal to dangerous. At that point, military ships could be deployed. And then escort operations could begin, he said.Heres a look at how Hormuz might be made navigable again: Battle-hardened in the Red SeaFrench, American, British and other naval crews already have valuable experience of fighting off missiles and drones in the region. They have escorted and defended cargo vessels through attacks in the Red Sea carried out by Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen.French frigates used machine guns, cannons and sophisticated air-defense missiles to fend off Houthi strikes. French frigate Alsace downed three ballistic missiles in the Red Sea in 2024 as it was escorting a container ship. The ships commander at the time, Capt. Jrme Henry, told the AP that being on the receiving end of the potentially deadly strikes was unnerving and exhausting. The sea battles also took a toll on U.S. Navy ships and personnel. There were repeated attacks, either by drones or missiles, Henry said in an interview. The crew didnt get much sleep.French retired Vice Adm. Michel Olhagaray, a former head of Frances center for higher military studies, says that all navies learned a great deal about working together and escorting ships from their Red Sea missions and have also drawn on Ukraines experiences against Russian barrages of missiles and drones during Moscows war.It would allow us to deploy to that region with fairly refined know-how and a high level of cooperation and that is extremely important, said Olhagaray, who commanded a French frigate that patrolled the Strait of Hormuz during the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s. Higher risksIran is militarily far better equipped than its Houthi proxies in Yemen, which caused considerable damage and disruption in the Red Sea between November 2023 and January 2025. Armed by Iran, the rebels targeted more than 100 merchant vessels with missiles and drones, sinking two and killing four sailors, and greatly reduced trade flows.Iran can reach all of the Strait of Hormuz and its approaches with anti-ship cruise missiles that it developed off Chinese-made weapons, according to mapping by the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency. It can also target vessels with longer-range missiles, drones, fast attack craft and naval mines, which it used during the Iran-Iraq war. U.S. strikes on mine-laying Iranian vessels in this latest conflict underscore the gravity of that danger.With war raging, the Hormuz passage is very, very dangerous and the risks for shipping are much greater than in the Red Sea against the Houthis, Olhagaray said.The means to counter this threat must be far more substantial and far more effective, he said. Before the heat can decrease ... most of the offensive installations on land in Iran would have to be eliminated. There would need to be constant monitoring, patrols, extremely close surveillance, and a very high level of intelligence to be able to say that it would be possible to allow tankers to transit, even with military escorts.That will not happen at all not at all in the near future. Reassuring insurers Experts say another challenge will be reassuring shipping insurers and companies that navigating in Hormuz waters is feasible again. Insurance premiums for shipping in the strait have soared to levels that Frances transport minister described as insane, causing a big problem for shippers.Maritime traffic is a business. That business has to make money. If insurance costs are so high that you cant make a profit by sailing through a given area, then you dont sail through that area, said Ausseur, now a director of the Mediterranean Foundation for Strategic Studies, a think tank.Insurance rates for oil tankers that want to transit through Hormuz are many times higher than they were before the war and are approaching levels that have been charged for ships carrying grain from Ukraine during the ongoing war with Russia, said Marcus Baker, global head of marine, cargo and logistics for insurance broker and risk adviser Marsh Risk. Potential naval escorts for commercial ships would be helpful, Baker said.Thats been done before in conflicts past, so thats not something unusual and that will obviously give a degree of confidence to the insurers that the vessels are going to have a greater degree of safety, he said.___Mae Anderson in New York, and Sylvie Corbet in Paris, contributed to this report.

In this photo provided by Gal Bardon, part of the king penguin colony is visible at La Baie du Marin, Possession Island, Crozet Archipelago, Jan. 16, 2026. (Gal Bardon/CSM/CNRS/IPEV via AP)2026-03-11T18:02:44Z WASHINGTON (AP) The warming world has disrupted the timing for plant and animal reproduction, and its usually bad news for species that depend on each other like flowers blooming too early and pollinating bees arriving too late. But researchers have found the rare critter thats getting a boost from the change: King penguins.A new study of 19,000 king penguins in a sub-Antarctic island chain found their breeding is starting 19 days earlier than it did in 2000. Mating earlier has increased the breeding success rate by 40%, according to a study in Wednesdays journal Science Advances.The study of timing in nature is called phenology. Its been a major concern for biologists because predators and prey and pollinators and plants are mostly adapting to warmer climates at different rates. And that means crucial mismatches in timing. Its especially common in birds and pollinating species such as bees. Most birds, especially in North America, arent keeping pace with changes in phenology, according to Clemson University biological sciences professor Casey Youngflesh, who wasnt part of the study.

Share Share Facebook Copy Link copied Print Email X LinkedIn Bluesky Flipboard Pinterest Reddit Read More Having a species like the king penguin adapt so well to seasonal shifts and timing changes is unprecedented, said study co-author Celine Le Bohec, a seabird ecologist at the French science agency CNRS. Its quite striking. Unlike other penguins which are threatened with dwindling numbers because of earlier breeding the king penguin has the ability to breed from late October to March. And they are taking advantage of that flexibility, Le Bohec said. They are succeeding even though the water is warming and the food web that they rely on is changing with it, said Le Bohec and study lead author Gal Bardon, a seabird ecologist at the Scientific Centre of Monaco. They can adjust really well their foraging behavior, Bardon said. We know that some birds are going directly to the south, to the polar front. Some are going to the north. Some are staying around the colony and so they can adjust their behavior and thats what makes king penguins cope really well with such changes for the moment. Le Bohec added that it may only be a temporary adjustment to an environment that is changing quickly. So thats why for the moment the species is able to cope with this change, but till when? This, we dont know, because its going very, very fast.Other penguins that have limited diets are more threatened by changes coming from a warming ocean and the makeup of the food chain. But king penguins which are so abundant they are considered a species of least concern can eat other prey besides the lanternfish that makes up their primary diet, researchers said.The king penguin may have a bit of flexibility as a trick up its sleeve, and may be in a good position to adapt as their environment changes, said Michelle LaRue, a professor of Antarctic marine science at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand who was not part of the study. But she said she wonders what happens after breeding because king penguins live 20 or more years in the wild and this study looks at only a small part of their lifespan. Outside scientists are just as cautious as Le Bohec and Bardon over whether to declare the king penguins a rare good-news climate change story.Winning for this species might mean losing for another species if they are competing for resources, Clemsons Youngflesh said.Ignacio Juarez Martinez, a biologist at Oxford University in the United Kingdom, who conducted a study of different penguins with earlier breeding, said: This study shows that king penguins might be a winner for now, which is excellent news, but climate change is ongoing and future changes to currents, precipitation or temperatures can undo these gains.___The Associated Press climate and environmental coverage receives financial support from multiple private foundations.

Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson (91) looks on during an NFL football game against the Detroit Lions Sunday, Oct. 5, 2025, in Cincinnati. (AP Photo/Jeff Dean, File)2026-03-11T18:12:30Z The Baltimore Ravens landed their star pass rusher in Trey Hendrickson, Maxx Crosby is back in Las Vegas for now and Daniel Jones is staying in Indianapolis as part of a busy start to the new league year.The biggest move Wednesday came when the Ravens agreed to a four-year, $112 million contract with four-time Pro Bowl defensive end Trey Hendrickson a day after backing out of a deal with the Raiders for Crosby over a failed physical, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press.Hendrickson was an All-Pro for Cincinnati in 2024 when he led the NFL with 17 1/2 sacks. He played in only seven games because of injuries last season and had four sacks but has reached double digits in sacks four times in the previous five seasons.It was a quick pivot for the Ravens after the surprising development Tuesday night when Baltimore pulled out of the trade that was supposed to send two first-round picks to Las Vegas. A person with knowledge of Baltimores decision told the AP that Crosby failed his physical. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because those results are private. Crosby had surgery in January to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee. He missed the final two games of the season because of the injury despite wanting to play through it at the time.The Raiders, who have been among the biggest spenders in the opening days of free agency, now must figure out what to do with Crosby. Las Vegas still has plenty of cap room to keep the five-time Pro Bowler on the roster with his $30 million salary if the team cant find another trade. Crosby was back in the team facility in Nevada on Wednesday, a person with knowledge said on condition of anonymity. Jones and the Colts agreed on a two-year contract that is worth up to $100 million, a person with knowledge of the contract told the AP. The person requested anonymity because the deal had not yet been announced. Jones will receive $88 million over the next two seasons with $50 million guaranteed instead of playing on the $37.8 million transition tag. He can make an additional $12 million through incentives.Jones led the Colts offense to a productive 10-game start. But following the bye week, Jones played through a hairline fracture in his left leg and then wound up suffering a season-ending torn right Achilles tendon in early December.Jones set career highs in passer rating (100.2) and completion rate (68%) as Indianapolis ranked fifth in the NFL in scoring at 28.9 points per game before he went down for the season.All the people are speaking to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because teams havent announced the moves or other developments.Washington agreed to terms with edge rusher KLavon Chaisson on a one-year contract worth $12 million with $10.3 million guaranteed, according to Athletes First, the agency that represents him. Coming off ranking last in the NFL on defense, the Commanders also reached deals with linebacker Leo Chenal and cornerback Amik Robertson, after losing out to Baltimore on Hendrickson. In other news, the Ravens and Bills both restructured the contracts of star quarterbacks Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen to create more room under the salary cap to start the league year. Baltimore had been hoping to sign Jackson to an extension before the start of the new league year Wednesday. But that hasnt happened. Instead the Ravens have restructured Jacksons deal to create cap space, according to a person with knowledge of the deal, speaking on condition of anonymity because the contract hadnt been finalized.Jackson has two years remaining on the five-year, $260 million contract the Ravens gave him in 2023.Buffalos move with Allen frees up approximately $12 million in much-needed salary cap space for the team entering the NFLs new year, a person familiar with the discussions told the AP.___AP Pro Football Writer Rob Maaddi and AP Sports Writers Stephen Whyno and John Wawrow contributed to this report___AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl JOSH DUBOW Dubow is an NFL writer for The Associated Press who covers the San Francisco 49ers and provides weekly analysis of NFL statistics. twitter mailto

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones looks for a receiver during the first half of an NFL football game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Dec. 7, 2025, in Jacksonville, Fla. (AP Photo/John Raoux, File)2026-03-11T17:31:18Z INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Quarterback Daniel Jones plans to stay with the Indianapolis Colts for at least two more years.The two sides agreed to a new contract, a deal that will pay Jones up to $100 million, a person with knowledge of the contract told The Associated Press on Wednesday. The person requested anonymity because the deal had not yet been announced.Jones will receive $88 million over the next two seasons with $50 million guaranteed. He can make an additional $12 million through incentives.Jones led the Colts offense to a productive 10-game start. But following the bye week, Jones played through a hairline fracture in his left leg and then wound up suffering a season-ending torn right Achilles tendon in early December.Its unclear whether he will be ready to play when the season opens in September, though general manager Chris Ballard and coach Shane Steichen have said they remain hopeful Jones will be able to participate in training camp. Injuries also limited Jones, the No. 6 overall draft pick in 2019, to just six games in 2023 and he started 10 games for the New York Giants in 2024 before he was benched, leading to his release. But Jones found a perfect home in Indy. He completed 68 percent of his throws last season for 3,101 yards his highest total since leading the New York Giants to the playoffs in 2022. He also threw 19 touchdown passes, his highest total since 2019, and had eight interceptions. Ballard made it clear in January that his top offseason priorities were re-signing Jones and receiver Alec Pierce, who led all NFL qualifiers in yards per reception in 2024 and 2025. Indy placed the transition tag on Jones last week as team officials and Jones agents continued working on an extension, and the Colts agreed to a four-year deal worth $116 million with Pierce on Monday.Jones and Pierce developed a close rapport both on and off the field last season, and the Colts were so committed to keeping them together that Ballard also traded longtime No. 1 receiver Michael Pittman Jr. to the Pittsburgh Steelers for a late-round draft pick Monday. Indy could still be in the market for a backup quarterback, too, after giving Anthony Richardson permission to seek a trade. Richardson, the No. 4 overall draft pick in 2023, lost the starting job to Jones in training camp last season and then suffered an eye injury during a freak pregame accident in October, another injury that forced him to miss the rest of the season.___AP Pro Football Writer Rob Maaddi also contributed to this report.___AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl

Decades after patients first warned Columbia University that one of its doctors sexually abused them, some university administrators have finally faced consequences.On Tuesday, Columbia released a long-awaited report that details a culture of silence that allowed OB-GYN Robert Hadden to abuse more than 1,000 patients during his nearly 25-year career at Columbia.In unveiling the report, the university also announced that two long-time administrators are leaving their positions.Dr. Mary DAlton, chair of the OB-GYN department and Haddens former boss, has stepped down. DAlton will maintain her clinical practice.Dr. Lee Goldman, the former dean of the medical school, will retire. The two were administrators above Hadden. They were also among those ccd on a 2012 letter that let Hadden continue seeing patients even after he was arrested when one woman reported hed assaulted her.Yesterdays report was prompted by a ProPublica investigation that revealed how Columbia had dismissed women and ultimately protected a predator. Amid outrage in the wake of the 2023 story, Columbia announced it would set up a $100 million fund for survivors and initiate an independent review.More than two years after the review was announced, the 156-page report was published days after the New York attorney general said it was investigating Columbias response to the Hadden case.The report outlines how more than a dozen patients complaints had gone nowhere, in part because of the lack of clear reporting procedures. The report also found a hierarchal institutional culture in which physicians occupied an exalted or god-like status that made it difficult for staff to report concerns.One patient, Eva Santos Veloz, was 18 years old when she saw Hadden for an emergency delivery in 2008. At the time, she and her mother reported that Hadden had touched her in ways that made her uncomfortable, sometimes without gloves. Nothing happened after she filed the complaint. At the time, she said, she came to believe she was making the whole thing up because no one seemed to believe her.Santos said that while the report confirms that she was right all along, it doesnt tell her anything new. The only peace it gives me is that they are publicly saying, We knew about this and we did nothing, she said.The report also lists five different complaints that were reported to leadership but resulted in no action against Hadden. Investigators note that the universitys record-keeping practices were insufficient and that higher-ups failed to conduct a full investigation into his misconduct.Andrew Toth/Getty ImagesPatrick McMullan/Getty ImagesAs a result of the report, both Dr. Mary DAlton, first image, chair of the OB-GYN department, and Dr. Lee Goldman, former dean of the medical school, are leaving their administrative positions at the school.In an internal email sent Tuesday to the OB-GYN department and obtained by ProPublica, DAlton announced that she will remain on the faculty to continue our departments work of advancing womens health.I cannot adequately express the sorrow that I feel for the suffering Robert Hadden inflicted on his patients, DAlton wrote in the email. That these acts were committed by a doctor in our department, including while I was chair, pains me deeply and always will.A similar statement posted to the Columbia website does not note her continued employment.DAlton did not respond to a request for comment.In a statement, Goldman said his heart breaks for the victims of Robert Hadden.He continued: Throughout my tenure we focused on prioritizing a culture of ethics and patient safety at the medical school, and to reassess and enhance its policies and procedures on an ongoing basis.The report also confirms that executives at the top of the organizations including former Columbia President Lee Bollinger, as well as one of the trustees at both Columbia and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, the Columbia-affiliated system where Hadden was an attending physician had been alerted to Haddens arrest the evening it occurred.Bollinger, who retired from his post in the summer of 2023, did not respond to a request for comment.A letter accompanying the reports release said, The University remains steadfast in our commitment to our ongoing responsibilities. We must continue to operate with transparency and confront systemic failures when they occur. Columbia did not provide an additional comment.In a statement, a group of survivors, including Marissa Hoechstetter and Evelyn Yang, criticized the report for failing to examine what happened in the years after Hadden left Columbia including the universitys documented efforts to destroy evidence, fight former patients in court and discredit those survivors.The statement also points out that Claire Shipman, the current acting president of the university and who signed Tuesdays announcement, has been on the board of trustees since 2013, amid the fallout from the Hadden case. She did not respond to a request for comment.What Columbia has released today offers the bare minimum accountability for failures thatshould have been addressed years ago, the survivors statement said. It confirms the systemic breakdown that allowed Hadden to operate. But it stops short of examining the cover-up culture that survivors experienced firsthand once the abuse came to light.The deadline to submit a claim for compensation to Columbias survivor fund, which was established for former patients who do not want to file a lawsuit, was extended to June 15.The post Report Confirms Columbia Ignored Decades of Doctors Sexual Abuse appeared first on ProPublica.

Richard Khan, Jeffrey Epstein's accountant and co-executor of his estate, arrives for his deposition before the House Oversight Committee on Capitol Hill, Wednesday, March 11, 2026, in Washington. (AP Photo/Jose Luis Magana)2026-03-11T19:57:21Z WASHINGTON (AP) House lawmakers were digging into Jeffrey Epsteins sprawling financial portfolio on Wednesday as a committee deposed his former accountant and tried to understand his connections to some of the worlds wealthiest men.Richard Kahn, who worked closely with Epstein for years and now serves as an executor of his estate, appeared for the closed-door deposition on Capitol Hill. He told lawmakers that he had not personally seen evidence of Epsteins sexual abuse, but provided a fuller picture of how Epstein acquired his wealth. The wealthy financier made hundreds of millions of dollars over two decades, during which he struck up friendships with some of the worlds most powerful men.Kahn was under the impression that Epstein made his money as a tax advisor and a financial planner, said Rep. James Comer, the Republican chair of the House Oversight Committee. Lawmakers argued that a fuller picture of Epsteins finances could help the public understand how, for years, he was able to get away with trafficking and sexually abusing underage girls. Jeffrey Epsteins sex trafficking ring would not have been possible without Richard Kahn, who managed Epsteins money for years, authorized payments, including payments to victims and survivors, said Rep. James Walkinshaw, D-Va., who added that Kahn told them he was unable to recall details of some of the transactions and communications that he was asked about. Kahn has said that he was unaware of Epsteins sexual abuse and had not seen any of his victims. Comer, R-Ky., also said that lawmakers confirmed during the deposition that Epstein received significant amounts of money from former retail shopping chain executive Les Wexner, hedge fund manager Glenn Dubin, tech entrepreneur Steven Sinofsky, investor Leon Black and the Rothschilds, a wealthy banking family. None of those people have been accused of wrongdoing in their relationships with Epstein, but Democrats on the committee argued that anyone with ties to the wealthy financier should be scrutinized. Wexner was deposed by the committee last month, and Comer has also called on Black, among several others, to appear for transcribed interviews. Kahn also told lawmakers that Epstein had financial ties to Ehud Barak, who was the prime minister of Israel from 1999 to 2001, according to Democratic Rep. Suhas Subramanyam. Barak has not been accused of wrongdoing and has said he regrets his friendship with Epstein.Comer also said Wednesday that the committee has reviewed over 40,000 documents that it subpoenaed from JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank. Epstein was connected to at least 64 business entities, according to Comer.Republican President Donald Trump has strongly denied any wrongdoing in his own ties to Epstein, and Comer said that Kahn had never seen any financial transactions between Epstein and Trump. Comer said that Kahn is the latest witness to testify that they had never seen Trump doing anything wrong with Epstein.The investigations about getting the truth to the American people, trying to figure out how the government failed, answer questions we all have, Comer said.
