The global race to build icebreakers
Update: 2025-07-10
Description
The EU has awarded Finland around $105 million to help purchase a new icebreaker ship. It's part of a global race to expand fleets with the capacity to safely move through the Arctic as climate change opens up new pathways through the ice. Also, Houthi rebels strike two ships in the Red Sea. And, Palestinian Christians in the Israeli-occupied West Bank say they’re facing “systematic attacks.” Plus, the Olavide Museum in Spain, which was founded in the late 19th century and contains hundreds of life-sized models of people infected with cutaneous diseases, is set to close its doors.
