Coast Guard, Navy rescue 3 stranded men after spotting 'HELP' sign made with palm leaves

United States Coast Guard and U.S Navy teams teamed up this week and rescued three men found on remote island in the Pacific Ocean lost at sea for more than a week, federal officials said.

The fishermen, all in their 40s, had been stranded on Pikelot Atoll, an uninhabited coral island about 415 miles southeast of Guam.

The rescue marks the second time in less than four years crews rescued castaways found on the tiny island. 

The men spelled “HELP” using palm fronds laid on a white-sand beach before being rescued Tuesday, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.

The men, three relatives who had not been publicly identified as of Thursday, were found in good condition and expected to survive.

Skier killed: Colorado skier dies attempting to jump highway in 'high risk' stunt, authorities say

How did the people lost at sea get stranded on the island?

Coast Guard officials said the fishermen departed on Easter from Polowat Atoll, part of Micronesia, in a small 20-foot open skiff bound for waters around the island where crews eventually rescued them.

According to a news release, the men had experience in navigating the waters around the island, but at some point, the boat's outboard motor was caught by swells and its engine was damaged.

The trio made it ashore on the uninhabited island, but officials said their radio battery ran out of power before they could call for help.

Niece reported her three uncles missing

On April 6, the U.S. Coast Guard in Guam received a distress call from a woman who reported her three uncles had not returned from a fishing trip.

Crews soon teamed up with the Navy for the rescue mission which officials said spanned over 78,000 square nautical miles. 

On Monday, crews in a U.S. Coast Guard HC-130J Hercules aircraft from Air Station Barbers Point in Hawaii searching for the missing boaters, flew over the island and spotted a sign in its white sand.

"In a remarkable testament to their will to be found, the mariners spelled out "HELP" on the beach using palm leaves, a crucial factor in their discovery," U.S. Coast Guard Lt. Chelsea Garcia, said. "This act of ingenuity was pivotal in guiding rescue efforts directly to their location."

Crew on board the aircraft dropped survival packages to the mariners until further assistance could arrive, officials wrote in the release.

On Tuesday morning, crews aboard the U.S. Coast Guard cutter Oliver Henry rescued the mariners and returned them and their outboard boat to Polowat Atoll, about 100 nautical miles from the island.

Previous castaways spelled SOS on beach on same island in 2020

Nearly four years ago, three other boaters in a 23-foot boat who departed from Polowat Atoll on July 30, 2020, also washed onto the same island after their boat ran out of gas.

The crew spelled out a giant “SOS” sign on the beach which was spotted by the crew of a US Air Force tanker operating out of Andersen Air Force Base on Guam.

The men were missing for three days before U.S. Coast Guard and Australian naval units rescued them.

As a safety precaution, the U.S. Coast Guard "strongly recommends all boaters equip" their vessels with an Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon.

Tuesday briefing: How much of a difference will the new childcare provision for two-year-olds make?

In today’s newsletter: Government-funded care was extended to younger children this month, but a study that looked at international examples says the system needs a wholesale overhaul

Sign up here for our daily newsletter, First Edition

Good morning. If you want to make a toddler’s parents furious – and they’re always on a pretty short fuse, let’s be honest – ask them how much of their salary they’re spending on childcare. The cost and quality of provision is one of the most persistent questions of our time: it matters for working parents trying to make ends meet, but it is also important for society generally because a child’s early years have an impact on them for the rest of their lives.

While the government has recently increased the provision of free hours for working parents, there are huge concerns that, because those places are not fully funded, the move could result in a shortage of places and a spike in fees for the hours people have to pay for themselves.

But that is not all there is to the childcare debate – and a new report from the Fawcett Society aims to take a much wider look at what a good system would look like, by drawing on the evidence of a group of other countries that recently underwent major reform.

Today’s newsletter, with Alesha De-Freitas, head of policy at the Fawcett Society and one of the report’s authors, is about what it would take to make childcare affordable – but also to make it better. That’s right after the headlines.

Five big stories

Middle East | Israel’s top general has said it will respond to Iran’s missile and drone attack , but it remains unclear what form that response will take and whether it will be so forceful it could tip a worsening spiral of violence into a full-scale regional war. US officials said some form of counter to Iran’s attack was almost inevitable, but they were still hoping it would be a limited counterstrike and not aimed at Iranian territory. Rishi Sunak has urged Israel to show restraint. In the occupied West Bank , Israeli settlers have killed two Palestinians, according to Palestinian officials.

Home Office | Dozens of Home Office staff are under criminal investigation over allegations including immigration crime, fraud and drug offences, the Guardian has learned.

Education | Multi-academy trusts (Mats) in England have significantly higher annual turnover of classroom teachers at secondary level than schools maintained by local authorities. Research has found that turnover at Mats stands at 19.5% on average compared with 14.4% at the median local authority.

Immigration and asylum | MPs have voted through plans to forcibly send asylum seekers to Rwanda if they arrive in the UK via small boats. Rishi Sunak’s flagship deportation bill is expected to pass into law at some point this week after further criticism and amendment in the Lords.

Environment | The UK government has been accused of double counting £500m of overseas aid as climate finance in an attempt to meet its commitments under the Paris agreement. Money for humanitarian work in Afghanistan, Yemen and Somalia is being classified as climate finance, according to Carbon Brief .

In depth: ‘You need to say to people that the system will be there for you long-term’

From this month, working parents of two-year-olds in England are entitled to 15 hours of government-funded childcare each week in term time. That will be extended to working parents of all children older than nine months in September. A year after that, the entitlement for those families will increase to 30 hours a week. The government estimates that these plans will mean a doubling in childcare spending over the next few years, from £4bn to £8bn a year.

“That would definitely be a positive thing if the sector was in a position to deliver it,” Alesha De-Freitas said. Instead, the picture is “patchy, chaotic, and unpredictable”. The problem is that expanding free hours has not been matched by a commitment to funding them in full, De-Freitas said. “And outside of the free hours, the cost of childcare is likely to go up to help pay for it.”

As things stand today, in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development index of 38 countries, the UK has the highest cost of childcare for parents as a proportion of women’s median full-time earnings – a key reason for the persistence of the gender pay gap.

That is one reason the Fawcett Society looked closely at Australia, Estonia, France, Ireland and Canada – all countries that have recently transformed their systems. “There’s never going to be a place that is a perfect match that you can just copy,” De-Freitas said. “But we wanted to see what we could use to get from where we are to a better system.”

Here’s some of what they learned.

Make a long-term plan

Instead of the incremental changes that are typical of the development of childcare in England, the most successful systems consult lots of experts, set out a clear long-term plan, and commit to implementing it. “You have to have transparency,” De-Freitas said. “You need to say clearly to people, if you decide to have kids the system will be there for you in a long-term way.”

In Ireland, an independent expert body was assembled with the resources to commission research. And because the government had already committed the money, they knew they were likely to be taken seriously. There and in Australia, draft findings were published along the way. “That is not what the UK is doing,” De-Freitas said.

In Estonia, all children between 18 months and seven years old are entitled to childcare. Because of this, De-Freitas said, “You hear people talk about things like the difficulty of getting speech and language experts into nurseries. We never talk about things like that, and it’s not because we need them less – it’s always just about, what is childcare for, and what does it cost?”

End ‘activity tests’ to reach the worst off

The Institute for Fiscal Studies estimates the poorest third of families will see almost no benefit from the government’s plan to expand childcare, because the offer is contingent on being in paid work.

In Australia, these “activity tests” were not found to have increased women’s workforce participation – while two-thirds of poorer families were being charged for some childcare. An expert commission has now recommended they be dropped. Canada is planning to offer $10 (£5.80) a day childcare by 2026. In Quebec, where a similar policy has been in place since 1997, women’s employment rose from 63% to 75% in 15 years.

There are also significant disadvantages for children from minority groups, who are much less likely to take up free entitlements than their white peers. “That is about making sure that childcare is culturally inclusive and welcoming – there is a wealth of evidence, for instance from how New Zealand focused on integrating Māori children , of how powerful that can be.”

Meanwhile, in the UK a 2005 study found that just 16% of mothers with disabled children worked, compared with 61% of all mothers. At the moment, many children with disabilities and special educational needs are being turned away because nurseries don’t have the expertise or capacity to care for them.

Fund nurseries instead of children

Childcare is funded in two ways: on the supply side, through funds directly to institutions; and on the demand side, through direct subsidies to parents or money to institutions linked to a particular child. “Internationally, there is a huge move towards the supply side,” De-Freitas said. “That’s because if it’s the child who attracts the funding, you’re always going to be targeting parents who can pay already or get free hours.”

Estonia, Ireland and Australia all use supply side funding as a way to achieve policy goals. But in the UK, only maintained nursery schools – 21% of the total – get supply side funding. That has led to a classic market failure of “childcare deserts”, with 44% of children in areas where there are more than three children per place – usually the most deprived communities. Why open a nursery in a poor neighbourhood if parents are less likely to have the money for childcare and are less likely to qualify for the new provision for working parents?

“There needs to be more money direct to nurseries,” said De-Freitas. “But it needs to be conditional, based on making sure the quality of provision is high, and that some of it goes through to workers.”

Value childcare workers more highly

The central problem with the government’s new approach is that it appears to have ignored the fact that the people looking after the children need to be paid. “It’s women who do that work, and historically it’s assumed to be low-skilled,” De-Freitas said. “Childcare is essentially viewed as babysitting.” See the debate in recent years about staff ratios for evidence of this.

In fact, the international evidence consistently shows that a highly qualified workforce with a meaningful career ladder produces the best outcomes for children and makes it easier to retain workers. “Parents know that having staff who know their children is one of the most important things,” De-Freitas said. “But if you get a qualification, the difference in what you can earn is very small.” That’s why funding training and increasing pay are key recommendations of the report.

Think about more than affordability

after newsletter promotion

“Affordability is clearly essential,” De-Freitas said. “But we’ve got stuck on it. When you look at other countries, you find a richness to the conversations about what is genuinely best for children that is so different to the UK.” The Fawcett Society report warns that “designing a system which is focused narrowly on [affordability] without strengthening and resourcing the system … may ultimately be counterproductive and unable to meet the demands it has set up”.

There is ample international evidence that higher quality childcare has huge long-term economic and social benefits. “The early years of a child’s life are so important – the evidence for that is growing all the time. It really impacts on children’s long-term outcomes and access to education,” De-Freitas said. “We should be aiming for so much better than just having somewhere for parents to park their children while they’re at work.”

A bit of good news to remind you that the world’s not all bad

Ane Freed-Kernis spent much of her adult life developing her career as a social worker and raising her son in England. After her father died, though, Freed-Kernis turned her attention to stone carving, a hobby that connects her to her Danish childhood. She signed up for a week-long stone carving course and learned how to turn formless rocks into magnificent pieces of art. After her 60th birthday, Freed-Kernis knew this hobby had become an all-consuming passion that she needed to invest in. She built a workshop in her garden where she could sculpt whenever she pleased. Now, she has shown her work at an art festival and has a thriving small business with 12 to 15 commissions a year.

“As long as I can physically sculpt, I will,” she says. “Plus, it’s great if you’re in a bad mood, since nothing makes you feel better than hitting a piece of stone really hard, repeatedly – I recommend everyone try it!”

Fishermen spot boat with 20 corpses floating off the coast of northeastern Brazil, reports say

A small boat full of decomposing corpses was spotted by fishermen off Brazil’s northeastern coast on Saturday, according to local news reports.

Brazil’s Attorney General’s office said in a statement that it has dispatched a forensics team to the area to determine where the bodies and the boat came from.

“Some reports say there could be up to 20 corpses” in the boat, the Attorney General’s office said in a statement. The office announced it is opening a criminal and a civil investigation into the incident.

The boat was floating off the coast of the state of Para in a remote location about 300 kilometers (185 miles) from the state capital Belem.

It wasn’t the first time that vessels carrying dead bodies were spotted by fishermen in the western side of the Atlantic Ocean. In 2021, at l east seven boats full of corpses washed up in Brazil and the Eastern Caribbean.

Investigations by The Associated Press and local authorities determined that some of these boats carried the corpses of African migrants who were trying to make it to the Canary Islands, but had missed their target and had drifted for weeks in the Atlantic Ocean.
