Sick sea lions attacking beachgoers in California
LOS ANGELES — For 20 years, Rj LaMendola found peace while paddling in the water on his surfboard.But last month off the coast of Southern California, the ocean turned hostile after a sea lion lunged at him, bit him and dragged him off his board."It looked possessed," LaMendola wrote in a Facebook post, saying the animal involved in the encounter just north of Los Angeles was "feral, almost demonic".The surfer later learned the animal was suffering from domoic acid toxicosis — a neurological condition caused by a harmful algal bloom. It's one of dozens of sickened animals that have been spotted across California beaches recently — many suffering from symptoms like seizures or intense lethargy.

Beijing vows to 'fight to the end' as Trump threatens 50% more tariffs
BEIJING — China declared it would “fight to the end” after US President Donald Trump threatened to impose an additional 50% in tariffs on all Chinese imports. The trade war between the world’s two largest economies intensified, with both sides showing little inclination to negotiate.Trump had already announced new tariffs last Wednesday, including 34% import levies on Chinese goods.
