IMBERSAGO, Italy (AP) — The ferry glides from one bank of northern Italy’s Adda River to the other, guided by a cable and pulled by currents, offering harried commuters five minutes of serenity and an alternate route now that a bridge closure has backed up traffic. Called “Leonardo’s Ferry,’’ the mechanism of the so-called reaction ferry was designed five centuries ago and immortalized by the Renaissance genius himself in a […]

GUANGOPOLO, Ecuador (AP) — In her modest home in Guangopolo, east of Ecuador’s capital, Ligia Ipiales carefully separates strands from a horse’s tail, weaving a mesh as fine as gauze for a “cedazo,” a traditional sieve clinging to survival.

The step came in response to a sharp decline in global humanitarian funding, in part as U.S. President Donald Trump slashed foreign aid and Thailand battled growing […]

TAIPEI, June 9 (Reuters) – Chinese coast guard ships operating around Taiwan in recent days have been “harassing” commercial shipping by asking them information about their point of origin and destination and claiming jurisdiction, Taiwan’s coast guard said on Tuesday. China, which views democratically governed Taiwan as its own territory, was angered after Japan and the Philippines said last month they would begin formal talks on their maritime boundaries, viewing […]
