Miami Yacht Owner Denied Insurance Payout for Fire Loss

By Olivia Alafriz

The owner of a yacht that burned in a fire will have to eat the loss because his insurance policy was based on an inaccurate valuation of the boat and thus void, a federal judge ruled.

Diego LePage owned the boat via Musashi AZ LLC, of which he was the sole member, and the boat was the sole asset. Accelerant Specialty Insurance Co. issued a marine insurance policy to LePage based on information provided by the previous insurer, which described the purchasing price as $2 million.

LePage actually bought the yacht for $1,575,000, making it overinsured without Accelerant’s knowledge and ...

Orcas sink sailing yacht in Strait of Gibraltar

An unknown number of orcas have sunk a sailing yacht after ramming it in Moroccan waters in the Strait of Gibraltar, Spain’s maritime rescue service said on Monday, a new attack in what has become a trend in the past four years.

The vessel Alboran Cognac, which measured 15 metres (49 feet) in length and carried two people, encountered the highly social apex predators, also known as killer whales, at 9 a.m. local time (0700 GMT) on Sunday, the service said.

The passengers reported feeling sudden blows to the hull and rudder before water started seeping into the ship. After alerting the rescue services, a nearby oil tanker took them onboard and transported them to Gibraltar.

The yacht was left adrift and eventually sank.

The incident is the latest example of  recurring orca rammings  around the Gibraltar Strait that separates Europe from Africa and off the Atlantic coast of Portugal and northwestern Spain.

Experts believe them to involve a subpopulation of about 15 individuals given the designation “Gladis.”

According to the research group GTOA, which tracks populations of the Iberian orca sub-species, there have been nearly 700 interactions since orca attacks on ships in the region were first reported in May 2020.

Researchers are unsure about the causes for the behaviour, with leading theories including it being a playful manifestation of the mammals’ curiosity, a social fad or the intentional targeting of what they perceive as competitors for their favourite prey, the local bluefin tuna.

Although known as killer whales, endangered orcas are part of the dolphin family. They can measure up to eight metres and weigh up to six tonnes as adults.

New Mexico's nuclear downwinders have a week to convince Congress on reparations

A nuclear bomb test described in the Oscar-winning film Oppenheimer last year exposed southern New Mexicans to radiation that lingered for generations leading to cancers and other health problems.

The blast, set off in 1945 in a then-reported unpopulated desert region, affected those living in rural communities like Carrizozo and Tularosa, and decades later the descendants of the victims of the Trinity Site lobbied to see the federal government provide reparations.

Reparation would come in payments to offset medical bills for conditions tied to the test under the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) passed in 1990. The RECA program offers single payments to nuclear workers in northern New Mexico affected by uranium mining and residents near the Nevada Test Site known as “downwinders” in several states.

But New Mexico has downwinders of its own, and advocates argued the RECA program should be expanded to include more states. A bill was passed by the Senate March 7 , sponsored by Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) to do so, offering payments to an expanded list of states including New Mexico, and increasing the amount available per person from $50,000 to $100,000.

Amid consideration of Hawley’s bill, Republicans in the U.S. House signaled they would propose an alternative bill to extend RECA by another two years , past its present sunset on June 7, 2024, without adding any additional eligible states or downwinders. The measure was initially supported by Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-La.), but drew outcry from various organizations and other Republican members.

On May 29, Rep. Ann Wagner (R-Mo.) confirmed via X that GOP leadership was pulling its proposal from a scheduled floor vote.

“It’s great news for MO that House leadership listened to my concerns & those of my constituents & pulled the Floor vote on this misguided proposal. We’re going to keep fighting for expansion of RECA so Missourians impacted by radiation get the support & compensation they deserve,” Wagner tweeted.

Extending the program without expanding eligibility was “not a solution,” said Tina Cordova of the Tularosa Basin Downwinders Consortium, as she argued more Americans deserved compensation for injuries Cordova said were caused by federal nuclear programs.

“A two-year extension of the current RECA program is not a solution for all those American citizens that were unwittingly harmed by the U.S government's development and testing of nuclear devices,” Cordova said. “The people of New Mexico and everyone else that have been horribly harmed by our government deserve better.”

She said her group and downwinders from other states not included in the program would continue lobbying to see RECA expanded.

“We will not give up this fight. We will not go away quietly,” Cordova said. “Eventually the members of the U.S. House who currently treat us like nothing more than collateral damage will have to come to terms with us.”

Lilly Adams, senior outreach coordinator for the Global Security Program at the Union of Concerned Scientists said the current version of RECA, which was last extended in 2022, was “flawed” in that it excluded thousands of Americans from coverage Adams said they were due.

“Radiation is not a natural disaster, but a man made one, by our own government. It would be heartless for Speaker Johnson to turn his back on these communities,” Adams said in a statement. “It would confirm that the government is letting people die before taking responsibility for its recklessness.”

Pulling the bill from a vote was supported by U.S. Teresa Leger Fernandez (D-NM) was said via X that it was the “right decision” by Johnson. Leger Fernandez herself introduced past bills to include New Mexico downwinders in the RECA program, increase payments to $150,000 and expand the list of eligible cancers that would incur payments under the program. Leger Fernandez, along with Sen. Ben Ray Lujan (D-NM) introduced that bill in 2021 and reintroduced it in July 2023.

In her May 29 tweet, Leger Fernandez called on the House to hold a vote on Hawley’s bill which she said would provide adequate coverage to those impacted by the Trinity Site and nuclear activities throughout history.

“Speaker Johnson did the right thing pulling this vote on a RECA extension bill that left out so many. Let’s vote on the bipartisan expansion bill that gives all victims of radiation exposure compensation before any more die,” read the tweet.

Barcelona confirm Hansi Flick as new head coach

Barcelona have confirmed the appointment of Hansi Flick as their new head coach.

The 59-year-old German succeeds Xavi after the decision was made to part ways with the former club captain following the end of the season .

Flick, who won the treble with Bayern Munich in 2019-20, has been out of work since being sacked by Germany in September, with this role a first outside of his home country in his career. He has signed a two-year deal with Barcelona.

Sporting director Deco met Flick last week and was left impressed by the German’s clear vision of what he thinks about the squad and how he wants his team to behave on and off the pitch.

Barcelona appoint Hansi Flick - key questions answered on Xavi's replacement

Appointing Flick represents the completion of a wish from Joan Laporta’s 2021 presidential campaign where he said he was an admirer of the new wave of German managers including Julian Nagelsmann, Thomas Tuchel and Flick. His planning for the summer will commence shortly, alongside Deco.

Flick was appointed Germany head coach in August 2021 after replacing Joachim Low following the 2021 European Championship, where they were knocked out by England in the quarter-finals. His exit last September came after a run of just four wins in 16, including a group-stage exit from the Qatar World Cup.

Flick was replaced by Julian Nagelsmann, who will lead Germany at this summer’s Euro on home soil.

Barca's €130m hole in their accounts - and why a June 30 deadline is key

In April, it was announced that Xavi would remain as Barca’s head coach following discussions with Deco , who later accompanied the 44-year-old in an emergency meeting with Joan Laporta at the club president’s personal residence. That represented a U-turn from Xavi’s announcement in January that he would leave the club at the end of the season .

As revealed by The Athletic , Xavi has written off his salary of around €11m for next season but will be reimbursed the €2.5m he paid to leave his contract with Qatari side Al Shabab early to join Barcelona in 2021. Another €4m will be paid to Xavi’s outgoing backroom staff.

Barcelona finished second in La Liga this season, 10 points behind champions Real Madrid .

Boeing firefighters ratify a contract with big raises, which they say will end a three-week lockout

Boeing’s private force of firefighters have approved a tentative new contract, and their union says they’re going back to work

Boeing firefighters ratified a new contract with major pay increases and expect to return to work this weekend after a lockout that has lasted more than three weeks, their union said Thursday.

The deal covers about 125 fire and emergency-service workers in the Seattle area, who were locked out by Boeing when their previous contract expired May 4.

The vote was 86-24 to ratify a tentative agreement, according to Local I-66 of the International Association of Fire Fighters union.

The union said the agreement will guarantee four hours of overtime pay for each 24-hour shift, boosting pay on average by about $21,000 per year. Employees will get annual raises of 2% to 3% through 2027. They will reach the top pay scale in 10 years instead of the current 14 years or the 19 years that Boeing proposed, the union said.

“This is a win for us,” said Casey Yeager, president of the union local.

Boeing, which is based in Arlington, Virginia, did not immediately comment.

A few days into the lockout, President Joe Biden posted on X that both sides should reach “a deal that benefits Boeing and gets these firefighters the pay and benefits they deserve.”
