Olympic torch begins its voyage to France

Agence france-presse.

The Olympic flame on Saturday began its journey to France on board the Belem leaving the Greek port of Piraeus after spending the night at the French embassy in Athens.

"The feelings are so exceptional. It's such an emotion for me", Tony Estanguet, Paris Olympics chief organiser, told reporters before the departure of the ship.

He hailed the "great coincidence" how the Belem was launched just weeks after the first modern Olympic Games were held in Athens in 1896.

The 19th-century three-masted boat was accompanied off the port of Piraeus by the trireme Olympias of the Greek Navy and 25 sailing boats while dozens of people watched behind railings for security reasons.

"We came here so that the children understand that the Olympic ideal was born in Greece. I'm really moved," Giorgos Kontopoulos, who watched the ship starting its voyage with his two children, told AFP.

On Sunday, the ship will pass from the Corinth Canal -- a feat of 19th century engineering constructed with the contribution of French banks and engineers.

The Belem is set to reach Marseille -- where a Greek colony was founded in around 600 BCE -- on May 8.

Greece on Friday had handed over the Olympic flame of the 2024 Games, at a ceremony, to Estanguet.

Hellenic Olympic Committee chairman Spyros Capralos handed the torch to Estanguet at the Panathenaic Stadium, where the Olympics were held in 1896.

Estanguet said the goal for Paris was to organise "spectacular but also more responsible Games, which will contribute towards a more inclusive society."

Organisers want to ensure "the biggest event in the world plays an accelerating role in addressing the crucial questions of our time," said Estanguet, a member of France's Athens 2004 Olympics team who won gold in the slalom canoe event.

A duo of French champions, Beijing 2022 ice dance gold medallist Gabriella Papadakis and former swimmer Beatrice Hess, one of the most successful Paralympians in history, carried the flame during the final relay leg into the Panathenaic Stadium.

Nana Mouskouri, the 89-year-old Greek singer with a worldwide following, sang the French and Greek anthems at the ceremony.

Stories Chosen For You

Should trump be allowed to run for office, cicada-palooza billions of bugs to blanket america.

They're loud. They're sexually aroused. And for one special, cacophonous month up to a trillion of them will engulf suburbs and woodlands across America.

Two cicada "broods" are set for a rare double emergence that last occurred in 1803, when Thomas Jefferson was president and the United States purchased Louisiana from France.

The prospect of another natural wonder just weeks after a total solar eclipse across much of the country has gripped scientists and the public alike.

- 'Insects of history' -

Cicadas comprise a diverse family of over 3,000 insect species found globally, with the majority of their lives spent underground in a larval state.

They emerge as adults to transform and mate, with some species appearing annually and others, known as periodical cicadas, synchronizing their emergence every 13 or 17 years. Mathematicians have long been intrigued by the question of why periodical cicadas follow prime number cycles, despite the lack of a clear evolutionary explanation.

This year's event involves the 13-year Brood XIX, currently emerging in the Carolinas, followed by the 17-year Brood XIII in the Midwest. There could be a small area of overlap in central Illinois.

"When they do come out, they come out in big numbers, parents get excited, the kids get excited," said entomologist Gene Kritsky of Mount St. Joseph University, who developed the Cicada Safari app for citizen-scientists to gather data, explaining the appeal of the harmless red-eyed bugs.

They're also "creatures of history": People vividly recall where they were when the cicadas last appeared in their area, and these personal stories become embedded in family lore, passed down to the next generation.

Just like witnessing a rare eclipse, Kritsky notes that there's a unique value in seeing scientific predictions come to life. "That's what science does: you come up with hypotheses that lead to predictions, the predictions are verified...and there's something valuable about this in a time when some people have thought to disregard science."

- Scientific marvel -

Relatively defenseless, periodical cicadas' strength lies in their sheer numbers that satiates the appetites of the birds, foxes, racoons, turtles and other predators, John Lill, a professor of biology at the George Washington University told AFP.

In a recent paper published in Science, Lill and colleagues revealed a number of broader impacts on the wider ecosystem. They found the 2021 emergence of Brood X in the capital Washington proved a windfall for insectivorous birds, leading to a surge in caterpillar populations as the birds focused on feasting on the cicadas.

This reprieve allowed caterpillars to thrive, resulting in increased consumption of oak saplings.

Other new research showed that "mast years" -- when oak trees produce an abundance of acorns -- follow like clockwork two years after cicada emergence. More acorns support larger populations of the mammals that feed on them, ultimately leading to more Lyme disease risk for humans.

"The fact that the cicadas determine when the masting event occurs, which then determine when the Lyme disease occurs, just sort of highlights that there are these potentially longer term ecological impacts that reverberate for years after the cicada emergence events," said Lill.

Then of course there's the males' distinctive -- and deafening -- mating chorus.

"We have had several calls about a noise in the air that sounds like a siren, or a whine, or a roar," Newberry Sheriff's Office in South Carolina posted this week on Facebook.

- Human impacts -

Chris Simon of the University of Connecticut, who studies the chemical changes in cicada DNA that track their life cycle, warns that climate change is disrupting their internal clocks. As the US warms up, a longer plant growing season provides more food, accelerating cicada growth.

"I predict that more 17 year cicadas will turn into permanent 13 year cicadas," she says, "and eventually that trait will be genetically assimilated."

What that means for the species in the long run is hard to know. It's also unclear whether drastic land transformation since the colonial period has been a net positive or negative for cicadas, said Lill.

On the one hand, many historic broods have been lost to rampant deforestation. But the remaining broods are flourishing in suburban environments where well-lit trees provide ideal conditions for females to lay their eggs.

Then the adults die, the newly hatched cicada nymphs fall off the trees and burrow underground, and the cycle begins anew.

'Blockbuster' Trump trial witness blew up his key defense: ex-prosecutor

The name Stormy Daniels has been an albatross for Donald Trump ever since won the presidency in 2016.

And given that the former president at one point pleaded ignorance to having ever meeting the adult film star, former federal prosecutor Gene Rossi believes it could "hurt" his defense now that his executive assistant of three decades, Rhona Graff, testified remembering she was in Trump Tower and being considered for a spot on his television show "Celebrity Apprentice".

"In any trial, you should under-promise and over-perform," he said during an appearance on CNN to discuss the ongoing hush money trial . "In your opening — under promise. And one of the Achilles heels of the defense is basically saying these relationships did not happen."

ALSO READ: 16 worthless things Trump will give you for your money

For Rossi, Graff is a critical witness, calling her testimony a "bombshell" because "Trump has said 'I don't even know Stormy Daniels, let alone having a relationship.' And that is going to hurt them in front of the jury because they over-promised."

The former president back in 2018, posted on Twitter a response to a Washington Post story claiming he kissed Rachel Crooks on the mouth in 2006.

He claimed then that Daniels was a stranger bringing some frivolous claims.

It reads: "A woman I don’t know and, to the best of my knowledge, never met, is on the FRONT PAGE of the Fake News Washington Post saying I kissed her (for two minutes yet) in the lobby of Trump Tower 12 years ago. Never happened!”

Graff's tenure as Trump's gatekeeper started in 1987 and ended in 2021.

On Friday, she testified that she had added the contacts for Daniels and ex-Playboy playmate Karen McDougal to the Trump Organization’s computer system.

Graff also recalled a critical nugget: overhearing Trump mention he had been considering casting Daniels on a celebrity version of his hit reality TV show "The Apprentice" to be called "Celebrity Apprentice".

Both Daniels and McDougal are being cited by Manhattan prosecutors for receiving six-figure sums to keep their alleged sexual affairs with Trump under wraps weeks ahead of the 2016 election. It's alleged Trump, with the help of his former fixer and attorney Michael Cohen, cooked up a scheme to hide the payments to ultimately manipulate the outcome of the election results.

Trump has been charged with 34 felony counts in the hush money trial involving falsifying business records.

‘Clear indication’: Dems accuse GOP congressional candidate of illegal super PAC ties

Michigan’s state Democratic committee has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, accusing a Republican congressional candidate of illegally coordinating with a super PAC funded by his brother, Raw Story has learned.

The letter , from Michigan Democratic Party Chairwoman Lavora Barnes, questions the circumstances surrounding what initially appeared to be a $1 million contribution by Paul Hudson, a Republican candidate for Congress in Michigan’s 3rd Congressional District, to the West Michigan for Change super PAC, which is supporting his candidacy.

Because Paul Hudson is wealthy, the complaint says, the contribution itself “while unusual … was plausible.” A reporter for the Detroit News spotted the donation, listed on a public FEC filing, and reached out to Hudson’s campaign to ask about it.

But within 30 minutes of receiving the Detroit News inquiry, Barnes’ complaint alleges, West Michigan for Change amended its FEC filing to say the $1 million did not come Paul Hudson but from his brother, Ryan Hudson.

Paul Hudson’s campaign did not respond to Raw Story’s request for comment. Ryan Hudson couldn’t be reached.

The FEC does not generally confirm the existence of legal complaints or investigations until it formally concludes an investigation . An FEC spokeswoman said she could not confirm whether or not the FEC received the letter.

It’s illegal for federal political campaigns to directly coordinate with a super PAC, which can raise and spend unlimited amounts of money. Super PACs can’t give directly to a federal campaign but can indirectly support candidates through their own advertising and advocacy.

Barnes’ letter called the Michigan case a “clear indication of coordination.”

“Notably, the correction in the reported donor was made within 30 minutes after the campaign was contacted by the media for comments, but before any contact was made with the Super PAC by the media,” the letter said. “This suggests that the campaign was aware of the filing details of the Super PAC, an action that may indicate coordination, which is prohibited.”

Barnes is asking the FEC to investigate the Hudson transaction and “any financial transactions or shared strategy discussions that might further demonstrate coordination beyond what is permissible under current campaign finance laws.”

The FEC is a bipartisan regulatory agency that can issue civil fines and other non-criminal penalties for federal campaign finance violations.

But the FEC’s six-member commission — no more than three members may be from one political party — often disagree along ideological lines and deadlock on high-profile matters.

The investigation and disposition of a single complaint will often take the FEC months, and sometimes years, to complete.

Michigan's congressional primary is Aug. 6. Hudson is running in a Republican primary against three other candidates, according to election tracker Ballotpedia , with the winner poised to face the winner of the Democratic primary, which will likely be Rep. Hillary Scholten, a freshman member of the U.S. House.

The nonpartisan Cook Political Report rates the race as "competitive," but barely, predicting a "likely Democrat" winner.
