Пресс-секретарь Белого дома Каролин Ливит прокомментировала состоявшийся разговор Владимира Путина и Дональда Трампа.
«Что касается войны между Россией и Украиной, которую президент по-прежнему решительно намерен завершить, — это был очень хороший и продуктивный разговор между двумя президентами. Они обсудили множество вопросов. Президент Путин поздравил его с достижением мира на Ближнем Востоке. Также, разумеется, обсуждалась война между Россией и Украиной. Стороны договорились созвать на следующей неделе встречу своих представителей высокого уровня, чтобы продолжить эти крайне важные переговоры. Возможно, за ней последует ещё одна личная встреча между президентом Трампом и президентом Путиным. И, конечно, завтра мы снова примем президента Зеленского в Белом доме, чтобы президент мог продолжить обсуждение с украинской стороной этого конфликта».

North Atlantic alert as orcas begin targeting commercial ships in what experts describe as coordinated attacks
What began as rare encounters off the Iberian coast now shows up in captain’s logs from Galicia to the Strait of Gibraltar, and in wary chatter on VHF. Experts say it looks learned, even coordinated. Insurers are watching. Mariners are changing habits mid-season.
It started like a shiver through the deck plates. A coastal freighter off Cape Finisterre rolled on a glassy swell, the night bridge lit soft blue, an ordinary watch with the engine ticking steady, when the helm shuddered as if from a hidden hand. The bow kept true, but the autopilot clicked off and the rudder felt heavy, like someone leaning against it from below. A deckhand ran aft and froze. Black-and-white shapes ghosted the wake, three, then five, their dorsal fins cutting the oil-slick moonlight. The ship wasn’t alone out there. Then the rudder stopped answering.
Orcas, ships, and a new pattern in the North Atlantic
Maritime authorities on both sides of the Iberian Peninsula have watched a precise pattern emerge: orcas approaching from astern, focusing on rudders, and working in small groups as if on a shared task. Scientists prefer careful words, yet even the cautious are using phrases like social learning and coordinated behavior. The animals linger for minutes, touch, push, and sometimes disable steering by bending or breaking blades. It doesn’t look random. It looks practiced. The North Atlantic feels newly intimate.
Since 2020, the Iberian orca subpopulation has been linked to more than 700 documented interactions, according to community reporting collated by the GTOA (Grupo de Trabajo Orca Atlántica). Most events involve sailing yachts under 15 meters, yet commercial skippers—coasters, trawlers, whale-watch operators—now report close approaches, stern-circling, and hard bumps that rattle crockery. In May 2024, a sailing vessel sank near the Strait of Gibraltar after repeated rudder strikes, and smaller working boats off Galicia have had gear fouled after sudden turns to protect props. The animals seem to know where control lives.
Why the rudders? The leading theories point to a mix of curiosity, sensation-seeking, and fast cultural transmission within a small, tight-knit group. Rudders thrum, vibrate, and leave a turbulent wake—catnip for tactile, echolocating hunters. Some biologists wonder if the behavior began as a playful “fad,” was reinforced by the drama of a boat stopping, and then spread like a trend at sea. Others see ecological stress in the background, with changing prey patterns nudging orcas toward bolder experimentation. Attack may be the wrong word. Intent is the right question.
How crews are adapting at sea
Captains in the known hotspots are evolving a playbook built on three words: slow, quiet, predictable. When orcas approach, many reduce speed and lock the helm to reduce the rudder’s tempting flutter. Some take the engine out of gear to calm the stern flow, then wait—eyes on the wake, radio on Channel 16. The goal is to remove the “game.” Boredom is a life raft.
Common mistakes come from adrenaline. Crews try to outrun the animals, thrash the rudder to “shake them off,” or bang on the hull in hopes of scaring them away. That mostly escalates things. **Calm beats noise.** Bring people off the stern, log the time and position, and prepare for a loss of steerage with pre-briefed roles. Let’s be honest: nobody really does that every day. Practice once, though, and the body knows what to do.
Guides in Spain and Portugal now urge a short checklist and a mindset shift: treat the encounter as weather, not war.
“Rudder-first behavior is striking because it’s smart,” says marine ecologist Marta Guerra. “They’ve learned where to press to get a reaction. Our job is to remove that reaction.”
What this moment says about us and the oceans
We’ve all had that moment when a familiar place surprises us, and the world we thought we knew shifts by a degree. The orcas are teaching that lesson to a busy sea, turning the invisible into the unignorable. Ships run on routine. The animals run on attention. There’s friction where those meet, and it’s rewriting habits.
Some headlines love the word attack, and the images are undeniably dramatic, yet the day-to-day reality is stranger and subtler. Most interactions end without damage. Large cargo ships are rarely affected, simply because their rudders sit deep and their prop wash is vast. Fishing vessels and yachts live closer to the skin of the sea, which makes them more interesting to a curious mind. *The ocean felt crowded in a way it never used to.*
Mariners are a pragmatic tribe, and their stories carry the smell of diesel and coffee. One Galician skipper told me he cut speed, shifted to neutral, and watched two juveniles trace the rudder while a larger female hung back like a teacher. After six minutes, they lost interest. He lit a cigarette with hands that were not quite steady and set a slow course for port. **No bravado. Just relief.**
In ports from Vigo to Cascais, you hear different theories traded over net mending and fresh bread. Some argue the animals are frustrated by dwindling bluefin tuna; others think a few individuals stumbled on a high-sensation behavior and taught the rest. The truth may live across all those points. Social mammals get bored, learn fast, and respond to feedback. A spinning wheel and a surging wake offer both. **Coordinated doesn’t have to mean hostile.**
There’s also policy moving in the background. Spain and Portugal have issued temporary advisories and mapped “interaction zones,” asking smaller boats to alter routes or seasons when pods are present. Insurers are quietly revising risk models for specific corridors, while shipowners update standing orders on watch routines and emergency drills. Soyons honnêtes? That’s not a sentence you overhear on a bridge. Yet the subtext is everywhere: stay nimble.
On deck, the human part of this story is simple: fear, then adaptation, then a working truce with a living ocean. The smartest response has been to dial down drama, gather data, and let the fad burn out. That takes patience and a little humility. It also takes luck. Mariners know both run out sometimes.
It’s hard to shake the image of those fins in the wake, a moving geometry with purpose. Scary, yes. Also a reminder that we’re not alone out there, not even close. The North Atlantic is busy with ships and histories and lives, but it’s also busy with eyes looking back. What we do next will travel through that water as a story of its own. Shareable, memorizable, teachable. The sea keeps the receipts.

'Pretty obvious' Putin doesn't want peace in Ukraine, European ministers warn
Back to Brussels, the foreign ministers from European Nato countries showed little patience with Moscow this morning.
“What we see is that Putin has not changed any course. He’s pushing more aggressively on the battlefield,” Estonian foreign minister Margus Tsahkna said in comments reported by AP. “It’s pretty obvious that he doesn’t want to have any kind of peace.”
Finland’s foreign minister Elina Valtonen struck the same note.
“So far we haven’t seen any concessions from the side of the aggressor, which is Russia, and I think the best confidence-building measure would be to start with a full ceasefire,”
she told reporters.

‘Everyone will miss the socialising – but it’s also a relief’: five young teens on Australia’s social media ban.
As the under-16s social media ban looms, Guardian Australia speaks to five 13 to 15-year-olds about what they will miss, and what government should be doing instead.
Australia’s world-first social media ban for under-16s will begin in just a few days. Malaysia, Denmark and Norway are to follow suit and the European Union last week passed a resolution to adopt similar restrictions. As the world watches on, millions of Australian adolescents and their parents are wondering just what will actually change come 10 December.
Concerns around the negative impact social media use can have on the wellbeing of young people have been around since the quaint days of Myspace – long before those to be affected by the ban were even born.
Supporters of the social media “delay” policy believe that restricting under-16s access will reduce mental health risks, exposure to harmful content and the social malaise associated with being chronically online. Those opposed worry that the legislation is ill-conceived, will push children into murkier corners of the web, impinge on their human rights, exacerbate some mental health conditions or simply prove futile.
As the world waits to see just how this grand experiment will play out, the Guardian spoke to teenagers about their feelings as the ban approaches. All five are on the youth advisory board of the Australian Theatre for Young People, which will next month host a production of The Censor, which canvasses issues of teen social media use, literacy and adult censorship of their lives.
From indifference to frustration or simply being confounded by the choices being made by the adults in the room, the perennial teen question remains: “What’s the big deal?”
‘It feels deeply unfair the government is punishing an entire age group ’
Sarai Ades, 14
I’ve been using Snapchat, Facebook Messenger as well as Instagram and TikTok since I got a phone in 2023.
I find the “delay” very frustrating because it targets young people instead of addressing the issues at the root of online harms; things like algorithmic amplification of bigotry, the spread of misinformation and the lack of accountability for the companies and creators who profit from harmful or discriminatory content.
Teens are not the primary drivers of harmful content. Much of it comes from high-influence adult creators, political commentators and extremist groups, and it feels deeply unfair that the government is punishing an entire age group by removing access rather than regulating platforms.
I think media literacy is very important, especially for our generation. We need to be taught the right methods to deal with the online world in ways that don’t become harmful – and that includes the bigotry that is often disguised as “opinions” on social media. Eliminating [access] without doing anything about building our media literacy is the equivalent of the government banning books until we are 16 and expecting us to magically start reading critically.
Right now, media literacy doesn’t figure highly in our syllabus, but it should. It’s taught in a very boring way and it isn’t up to date; we might learn about cyberbullying but not echo chambers, for example. And with the rise of AI, there is a whole new world to understand that could harm us, but we aren’t taught anything about that. I think the government could definitely be focusing its efforts there and on specific aspects of social media, rather than just establishing a whole ban.
Having less exposure to this kind of harmful content might be good for our mental health in some ways, but I think the negatives outweigh the positives.
I grew up on another continent and social media is a primary way that I feel connected with these childhood friends. Australia promotes itself as a multicultural, globally connected country, but this ban will cut teens off from their cultural communities and international friendships. And for multicultural teens that loss is significant, especially living in an Anglo-dominant country like Australia.
My generation uses social media as a tool for identity formation; we explore other cultures, our creative expression, neurodivergence, gender identity, political beliefs. Removing social media removes a major avenue for self-discovery and belonging.
My daily screen time average on socials is about two hours, shared between Pinterest, Instagram and TikTok equally. Developing a healthy relationship with your screen time has become quite trendy. Me and most of my friends already use apps that help us manage our time online, we all use “do not disturb” and only check our phones when we have time.
Whatever time I do gain will be used to invest in my goals, but the irony is that I probably wouldn’t have half those goals without social media. The ban doesn’t just take away an app, it takes away inspiration and opportunities. For kids like myself in the performing arts, taking away our ability to share our skills online also limits our exposure and could put us behind on the world stage.
Even if they aren’t trying to develop a presence though, the ban will drive teens to less savoury corners of the internet – shady apps, private browsers or unsafe websites, instead of regulated platforms. Cutting off access to socials won’t eliminate the need for online connection, it will just drive it underground.
‘I don’t think I’ll be affected that much’
Pia Monte, 13
I only have accounts on WhatsApp and Pinterest so I won’t be directly affected by the social media ban, but I still don’t like it. I know people whose main support networks are on social media, so if that’s being taken away they will be left with nothing. I’ve had a really positive experience on the social media I use, so I don’t see why it should be banned for everyone.
I don’t keep my phone in my room overnight, I just check it quickly in the morning for notifications, but I don’t really use it before school. I use it mostly to take a break from study, my daily screentime average this week was 49 minutes.
I mostly use social media to look at cooking videos on YouTube or Pinterest; I can still use YouTube for that without an account and Pinterest isn’t being banned. Neither is WhatsApp and that’s what I use mostly to keep up with friends – I don’t know that many people my age who spend lots of time on the apps that are being banned anyway – so I don’t think I’ll be affected that much. I might get accounts for things like Instagram when I’m older, but there’s no rush.
‘I don’t think two years is a long time to wait to use it again’
Grace Guo, 14
I’m quite indifferent to the ban, it won’t affect me that much because I mostly use messages and WhatsApp to chat with friends. I do post on YouTube sometimes, but I won’t care if I can’t. Sometimes the comments aren’t very nice so I won’t miss those. And anyway, you can still access the content without an account. When I’m using YouTube to research new skills or school work, sometimes irrelevant or inappropriate things come up, but that doesn’t change if you have an account or not.
I’ve only been using Instagram since the start of this year, it’s just another way to communicate with friends and I don’t think two years is a long time to wait to use it again. It’s not a big deal to me, I’ll just use other messaging apps more.
I only looked at my phone to check the time this morning. I first checked it for messages after school on my way home on the train. My screen time average is about an hour or two a day; most of that is chatting with friends across all the apps. I feel like our generation is quite dependent on it and I have friends who use their phones lots more than me.
Overall, for kids my age, I think things will be pretty much the same – they will get around it if they want, use the banned apps without accounts or just wait. Maybe for younger kids the ban will delay some harmful experiences. But also it might be a lot to deal with at 16 if you haven’t been exposed before.
‘Adults are viewing social media as something that hijacks our whole life’
Ewan Buchanan-Constable, 15
I’m a bit disappointed with the ban because I was introduced to a lot of my current creative interests through YouTube. At the moment I only use YouTube and Discord. I have a couple of videos up, but it’s not a regular thing. I use Discord to talk to friends and to engage with communities, mostly about movies and video games. Most of my friends use the apps that are being banned but I don’t feel excluded because the content that’s on there doesn’t really interest me.
I use my phone as an alarm but I don’t start using it in bed. Once I’ve eaten and showered I might put something on YouTube in the background while I get ready, but it’s not my main focus. My daily average is about two hours a day. On the weekends though, my screen time goes up to more like five hours because I often have podcasts, music or videos playing on YouTube while I study or do chores.
Adults are viewing social media as something that hijacks our whole life, but really it’s just something we use in downtime and it doesn’t stop us from reaching out to each other and arranging to leave the house and hang out or anything like that. I also read, write and draw a lot. I play Dungeons and Dragons and video games.
The way I look at it is that the goals the government has about mental health and limiting the harm of inappropriate content could be achieved through regulation and education rather than a ban.
Making that education start earlier would be important, being able to navigate online spaces safely is something kids need to know about much younger now. And I think it might be dangerous to forget that and just let them loose at 16. They’re going to encounter lots of weird stuff online before then anyway, so they should be taught about it earlier.
I’m not sure if I will ever start using social media, unless it’s for my career. I want to be an actor so for me it would be a professional tool rather than a source of entertainment.
‘No one is going to miss scrolling’
Emma Williamson, 15
I turn 16 in February, so it will just be the holidays without Instagram for me really. I opened my account a couple of years ago and then I changed schools so it has been a good way to stay in touch with those people I don’t see every day any more.
I think everyone will miss the socialising part. But it’s also a relief to not have to do that on a platform designed to lure you in and waste your time, no one is going to miss scrolling. I get bored of watching reels quickly anyway, and AI slop is the worst, it takes so long to keep blocking that content and more keeps coming. I only want to see real content about my interests, like old audition videos of actors.
My daily average for Instagram is about half an hour. I use an app called Fitlock that gives me access to certain apps I choose based on how many steps I do. It’s easy to turn off, but I try to stick to what I’ve earned. And funnily enough, most of what I’ve learned about how and why to keep social media use down has been from the apps themselves. There’s lots of content from people a bit older than me encouraging people to get off their phones and go and live their lives in the real world.
My friends and I have group chats on Instagram but also on WhatsApp, so we will just spend more time there. Saying that, I find that Instagram content can be a fun conversation starter, so maybe we won’t chat as much without that to share.
At school they teach about cyberbullying and harmful content but never about how to use the apps in healthy ways. I think the government could spend their money better on educating rather than restricting. Right now though what they teach us is really boring, they’d need to work on that.

Will other countries follow Australia’s social media ban for under-16s?
Several European nations are already planning similar moves while Britain has said ‘nothing is off the table’.
Australia is taking on powerful tech companies with its under-16 social media ban, but will the rest of the world follow? The country’s enactment of the policy is being watched closely by politicians, safety campaigners and parents. A number of other countries are not far behind, with Europe in particular hoping to replicate Australia, while the UK is keeping more of a watchful interest.
Europe.
Denmark
has said it will ban social media for under-15s, with the prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, saying mobile phones and social media are “stealing our children’s childhood”. The policy could become law next year.
Norway
bringing in a minimum age limit of 15. The prime minister, Jonas Gahr Støre, has said the country must protect children from the “power of the algorithms”.
Ireland
is introducing a digital wallet to verify the age and identity of social media users. The media minister, Patrick O’Donovan, said this month an Australia-style ban was “one of the things that we are holding in reserve”.
In
Spain
, the prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, has called on parliament to pass a bill raising the minimum age for using social media to 16.
In
France
, the president, Emmanuel Macron, has threatened to ban social media for under-15s and a parliamentary commission has also recommended such a move, including an overnight “digital curfew” for 15- to 18-year-olds.
The government in
the Netherlands
, meanwhile, has advised parents to block their children from social media until they are 15.
In
the EU
European parliament has passed a non-binding resolution, demanding under-16s be banned from using social media unless their parents decide otherwise. The resolution warned of the “addictive” nature of social media but is non-binding, meaning it will not become law. The EU already has legislation that enshrines digital safety in the form of the Digital Services Act, but an appetite remains to take oversight further.
The Danish MEP behind the resolution, Christel Schaldemose, said she would continue to push for continent-wide regulation, although that ultimately requires a three-way cooperation between member states, the EU parliament and the European Commission, the EU’s executive arm.
The MEP said she was “not giving up” until tougher regulations were in place. “A strong age limit is a good starting point,” she said.
Ursula von der Leyen, the commission’s president, has promised to establish a panel of experts who will advise on the best approach for protecting children. Announcing the panel in September, she said parents were drowning in the “tsunami of big tech flooding their family homes”.
UK
In
the UK
the Labour government has not ruled out a ban, saying “nothing is off the table” but any ban must be “based on robust evidence”.
Last year momentum gathered behind a private member’s bill (legislation proposed by an individual lawmaker, not the government), imposing restrictions on under-16s using social media. But the bill was ultimately watered down, albeit with a government commitment to research the issue further.
The Molly Rose Foundation, a charity established by the family of Molly Russell, a teenager who killed herself after viewing harmful online content, is concerned that an age ban would do nothing to make social networks safer. It said this week that teenagers living under an under-16 ban could face a “cliff edge” of harm on unregulated platforms when they turn 16.
Beeban Kidron, the crossbench peer and influential online safety campaigner, said a ban was not a “magic bullet” but could spur tech companies to do more to protect children.
“The Australian ban is a response to the failure of the tech sector to design products and services that are safe and age appropriate for children. It represents a profound challenge to Silicon Valley – by insisting that they design their products for keeping our kids safe – or leave them the heck alone,” she said.
Meanwhile, the UK government will monitor whether its new set of digital guardrails, under the Online Safety Act, have the desired impact on child safety.
US
In
the US
, social media restrictions are being brought in at state level.
Utah
has introduced legislation requiring under-18s to have parental consent to use social media, while also restricting social media use at night without similar permission.
The
Florida
governor, Ron DeSantis, has signed a bill banning under-14s from joining social media, although the legislation – as with other similar state laws around the US – is subject to legal wrangling over whether it breaches the first amendment right to free speech.
Virginia
, meanwhile, has passed a law limiting under-16s to one hour of social media access per day, with any further access requiring parental permission.
Georgia, Tennessee
and
Louisiana
have also passed bills requiring parental consent for under-16s to open social media accounts.
Rahm Emanuel, the former White House chief of staff under Barack Obama, is considering a presidential run and has said the US should follow Australia’s lead. Right now, a US-wide ban seems unlikely amid a Washington gridlock. Ted Cruz, the Republican senator, has teamed up with Democrat peers in Washington to introduce a bill formally banning under-13s from social media and barring feeding “algorithmically targeted content” to under-17s. The bill has not become law.
Arturo Béjar, a former senior engineer and consultant at Meta, who blew the whistle on online safety at the Facebook and Instagram owner, told the Guardian that nationwide legislation was still some way off.
He said: “It is not clear how legislation is going to move forward here. The US has many bereaved parents, and bipartisan support, but turning that into legislation is taking a long time.”
Elsewhere.
Malaysia
plans to ban social media for under-16s starting from next year and
Brazil
has raised the minimum age for Instagram to the same level.
At the
United Nations
, the attitude is more cautious. Unicef, the UN agency for children, has warned that social media bans carry risks and “may even backfire”. It said internet platforms can be a lifeline for isolated or marginalised children and that regulation should not be a substitute for tech companies investing in safety.
But as the actions of Australia and other governments show, states around the world are no longer willing to wait.
