- Groups of people gathered on the windswept Nitzanim beach to view the giant carcass of a dead baby whale on Friday. The fin whale calf washed up on the beach a day earlier and was reportedly first spotted by a group of surfers. Elimor Frid, from the the Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel, said: “we suspect that this whale died from the pollution in the sea, pollution we are seeing in recent days on the beaches in Israel.” However she stressed that scientific confirmation was awaited. "Despite the circumstances, we were lucky to see a whale for the first time in our lives, not in a good condition, but still a whale,” she said. The Israel Nature and Parks Authority is investigating the cause of death and says that fin whales are not common on the eastern side of the Mediterranean.

This unique ride is unlike any other. People love to conquer the bike by riding down trails and ramps, as seen on Monday.

The protesters demand the government to fully implement the terms of the agreement which stipulates that up to 250 locals must be employed in the oil companies operating in the Kamor region.

- Defence lawyer Michael Van Der Veen called the impeachment an 'act of political vengeance,' during the for the fourth day of the second impeachment trial of former US president Donald Trump, in Washington DC on Friday. ''Like every other politically motivated witch hunt the left has engaged in over the past four years, this impeachment is completely divorced from the facts, the evidence and interests of the American people. The Senate should promptly and decisively vote to reject it," said Van Der Veen. Trump's attorney David Schoen also advocated that the evidence offered by house managers was not investigated and scrutinised enough by his team before the impeachment trial. ''Here President Trump and his council were given no opportunity to review evidence or question its propriety. The rush to judgement for a snap impeachment, in this case, was just one example of the denial of due process,'' said Schoen.
