Rare wildlife spotting caught on camera in Poland
Two unusual black wolves that are believed to be siblings, were caught on camera crossing a stream in a forest in Poland, according to a conservation organization.
The rare sighting, which was captured on video last year, has prompted the SAVE Wildlife Conservation Fund Poland to retrieve scat droppings in the forest that the wolves were observed in, so scientists can learn more about the genetics of the black wolves.
The Associated Press reported that the video camera was set up by Joanna Toczydlowska, a project coordinator with the wildlife organization, to study beavers.
But she was surprised when she reviewed the recorded footage and saw wolves instead. She decided to leave the camera in place to learn more about the rare animals.

«It’s something new and unusual,» Toczydlowska told the wire service.
In one of the clips captured, a gray wolf and black wolf crossed a stream in the forest, though slowly as the water was nearly up to their bellies. Once near the other side, the two wolves jumped onto the bank before walking away.
In another clip recorded in the fall, two black wolves and a gray wolf were seen crossing the same stream.
The researchers would not disclose the location of the sightings, in order to protect the rare wolves.

In Poland, the majority of the nearly 3,000 wolves are gray with red or black accents.
The black fur is likely from a genetic mutation that occurred with domesticated dogs thousands of years ago.
In Europe, dark fur is rare, though in Yellowstone National Park in the United States, at least half of the wolf population has black fur.

Toczydlowska said the two black wolves were likely siblings and about a year old, which she hypothesized on the basis that wolves travel in families and the two were about 66 pounds. She also said at least one of the black wolves spotted was a male.
Wolves were nearly extinct in Poland by the 1950s, though the population has rebounded in recent years, particularly in the central part of the country.
Toczydlowska and her colleagues help educate the public on how to safely live in areas inhabited by packs of wolves.

«For people, it’s a new phenomenon,» Roman Gula, head of the organization’s wolf monitoring project, told the AP. «Education is one of our major, major goals.»

Perú: en huelga de hambre, el ex presidente Pedro Castillo fue internado por una descompensación
El ex presidente peruano Pedro Castillo fue trasladado el jueves desde la cárcel donde permanece prisión preventiva hasta un hospital de Lima por presentar una descompensación en su salud, tras iniciar el lunes una huelga de hambre en protesta por el juicio por rebelión en su contra.
El tribunal de la Corte Suprema que lo juzga informó al inicio de la sesión del jueves que Castillo, de 55 años, fue enviado a un hospital por presentar una “descompensación” y para descartar un “trastorno hidroelectrolítico y una deshidratación leve”.
Castillo inició el lunes una huelga de hambre en protesta. La fiscalía ha pedido 34 años de cárcel por el presunto delito de rebelión, abierto en su contra por su intento de disolver el Congreso en diciembre de 2021 para evitar una votación de destitución y gobernar por decreto.
El ex presidente está en prisión preventiva desde el 7 de diciembre de 2022, el día en que leyó un discurso ante las cámaras de la televisión pública para gobernar por decreto y en el que no fue respaldado por las fuerzas de seguridad. Fue detenido a la salida y la justicia ordenó tres años de prisión preventiva en su contra mientras es procesado por rebelión.
El Congreso lo destituyó ese día y su entonces vicepresidenta Dina Boluarte asumió el poder. Hubo tres meses de protestas en los Andes que dejaron 50 civiles fallecidos.
El ex presidente ha calificado el juicio de “pantomima” y ha cuestionado a Norma Carbajal, una jueza del tribunal que lo juzga, por haber adelantado su opinión. Solicitó que sea reemplazada.
Castillo se ha negado a tener una defensa legal en el juicio y su primer abogado gratuito renunció. Ahora tiene a otros dos abogados gratuitos a quienes también ha rechazado. El martes otro informe de la agencia que administra las cárceles peruanas indicó que los médicos de la fiscalía habían diagnosticado a Castillo con “una ligera deshidratación” en el segundo día de su huelga de hambre.
El profesor rural que llegó al poder en 2021 también enfrenta otra investigación en la fiscalía por actos de presunta corrupción durante su gobierno, que incluyen ascensos irregulares dentro del escalafón militar y la designación de un consorcio para construir un puente sin respetar supuestamente las bases de un concurso.
In an address full of nuance, Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday thanked President Donald Trump for his efforts to end the hostilities in Ukraine, but said he wanted lasting peace over a 30-day ceasefire.
«The idea itself is correct, and we certainly support it,» Putin said in a carefully worded message during a news conference in Moscow. «But there are issues that we need to discuss, and I think that we need to discuss it with our American colleagues and partners.»
«We agree with the proposals to halt the fighting, but we proceed from the assumption that the ceasefire should lead to lasting peace and remove the root causes of the crisis,» Putin added.

RUSSIAN BORDER STATES EYE EXIT OF LANDMINE TREATY TO FORTIFY DEFENSES AND DETER PUTIN
Putin was careful not to directly say no to the 30-day ceasefire deal Ukraine agreed with earlier this week, but he also suggested there were too many variables to be discussed, like what happens to the Ukrainian troops in Russia’s Kursk region, which he said will be fully surrounded in the coming days.
The Kremlin chief also claimed a ceasefire would only benefit Ukraine as it would allow Kyiv to mobilize and rearm.
«In these conditions, I believe it would be good for the Ukrainian side to secure a ceasefire for at least 30 days,» Putin said.
The Russian president’s comments echoed ones issued by his top aide earlier in the day when Yuri Ushakov told a Russian reporter, «Our position about this is that it’s nothing other than a temporary breathing space for Ukrainian forces and nothing else.»
«We believe that our goal is a long-term peaceful normalization – we are striving for this,» he added. «Our concerns are known. No one needs steps that imitate peaceful actions in this situation.»
Ushakov, who met with national security advisor Mike Waltz and Secretary of State Marco Rubio last month in Saudi Arabia, said ultimately Putin would address Moscow’s position on the ceasefire during a press conference later on Thursday.
The comments came after Ushakov said he spoke with Waltz and as special envoy Steve Witkoff landed in Moscow to further discuss the agreement.

Reports on Thursday suggested Russia has put forward its own wishlist items to achieve an end to the fighting, but those demands remain unconfirmed. Previous demands included barring Ukraine from joining NATO and control over the five Ukrainian regions it has illegally seized – only one of which Russia fully occupies.
Ukraine on Tuesday agreed to the 30-day ceasefire following an hours-long meeting with Waltz and Rubio in Saudi Arabia, contingent on the Kremlin’s acceptance of the terms.
The ceasefire was an attempt to get both sides to lay down their arms so that further negotiations on issues like territory, occupation status, the return of prisoners and the return of abducted Ukrainian children could then be hashed out.
The State Department did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s questions.

RUSSIA PRESENTS US WITH DEMANDS THAT NEED TO BE MET BEFORE ENDING UKRAINE WAR: REPORT
Russia ramped up its barrage of missile and drone attacks after the U.S. paused military aid and intelligence sharing after Trump suggested he didn’t believe Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was «serious» about peace.
The comments came following an Oval Office blow-up when Zelenskyy refused to sign a mineral deal without security guarantees from the U.S.
Vice President JD Vance accused the Ukrainian president of being «disrespectful.»
But following the successful talks with Ukraine in Jeddah this week, the U.S. immediately lifted its aid and intelligence pause.
«Ukraine is committed to moving quickly toward peace, and we are prepared to do our part in creating all of the conditions for a reliable, durable, and decent peace,» Zelenskyy said in a post on X Thursday. «I thank our teams for the fact that military aid and intelligence sharing resumed.
«Ukraine was ready for an air and sea ceasefire, but the U.S. proposed extending it to land. Ukraine welcomes this proposal,» he added.

Zelenskyy said Putin’s thus far silence on the ceasefire proposal «once again demonstrates that Russia seeks to prolong the war and postpone peace for as long as possible.»
«We hope that U.S. pressure will be sufficient to compel Russia to end the war,» he added.
