New species of orchid discovered in Japan, petals look glass-spun

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:41:49 GMT

(CNN) — Sometimes newfound flower species are lurking where scientists least expect to see them — in parks, gardens and even in planters on balconies.That’s where researchers in Japan recently identified a new species of orchid, its pink-and-white blooms so delicate and fragile they look like they were spun from glass.The newly described flower is a neighbor to populations of a related orchid species common in Japan that it closely resembles. Its discovery is an important reminder that unknown species are often living right under our noses, scientists reported Friday in the Journal of Plant Research.“The incredible diversity of the orchid family, Orchidaceae, is truly astonishing, and new discoveries like this Spiranthes reinforce the urgency to study and protect these botanical gems,” Justin Kondrat, lead horticulturist for the Smithsonian Gardens Orchid Collection, told CNN in an email.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:41:49 GMT

Brisk breeze out of the Northwest and clearing skies have helped temperatures drop into the upper 50’s to low 60’s to start. Drier air is filtering in and by the afternoon, North-Northeast winds take over with milder temperatures in the upper 70’s. Steady warming expected as the week progress with high pressure sliding into the Western Atlantic Ocean and winds turning off the ocean.

Conditions forecast to remain quiet with bright sunshine and dry air around the remainder of the week. Heading into the weekend, winds shift out of the South-Southwest to draw up the heat and humidity ahead of another front. Therefore, a chance of spotty showers returns Sunday.

Tory Euroskeptics pan Rishi Sunak’s Brexit deal, don’t say if they’ll vote against

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:41:49 GMT

LONDON — Euroskeptic Conservatives will hold an 11th-hour meeting on Wednesday after failing to decide whether to back Rishi Sunak’s new Brexit deal.After three weeks of deliberations, a ‘Star Chamber’ of lawyers convened by the European Research Group today gave a withering verdict on the Windsor Framework, arguing it will keep EU law supreme in Northern Ireland.ERG chairman Mark Francois said a green lane for goods to avoid checks was “not really a green lane at all,” and that the Stormont Brake — meant to allow the Northern Ireland devolved assembly the power to challenge EU laws applying to Northern Ireland — is “practically useless.”“The framework itself has no exit, other than through a highly complex legal process,” he added. Asked if the ERG had been “misled” about its contents, Francois said: “I am going to leave that to others to judge.”But despite issuing a 52-page assessment, the ERG did not co...

Boris Johnson says no evidence he ‘intentionally or recklessly’ misled MPs over Partygate

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:41:49 GMT

LONDON — Boris Johnson accepted that he misled the House of Commons over the Partygate scandal — but denied doing so “intentionally or recklessly,” as he hit out at his aide-turned-nemesis Dominic Cummings.Johnson will face the cross-party privileges committee of MPs Wednesday over the accusation he lied to parliament about the Partygate row, which saw a host of rule-breaching parties held in government offices in 2020 and 2021 despite strict lockdown restrictions. Johnson was among those later fined by police for breaches.In a 52-page dossier setting out his defense ahead of a marathon committee grilling Wednesday, the former prime minister said the only evidence supporting claims he intentionally misled parliament came from his former top adviser, Cummings, who he said could not be “treated as a credible witness” given the “animus” he bears towards Johnson.The inquiry is centered around statements Johnson made in the House of Commons in December...

Stop overthinking it: An indictment would be bad for Trump

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:41:49 GMT

Alexander Burns is an associate editor for global politics at POLITICO. His Tomorrow column explores the future of politics and policy debates that cross national lines.The widely expected indictment of Donald Trump in Manhattan has all the makings of a political disaster for him. It should be the climactic event in a yearslong saga involving marital infidelity, sleazy financial dealings and now the first-ever criminal charge against a former American president.Naturally, the question arises: Could this actually be good for Trump?That thought generates itself by reflex in America’s political brain. It is a habit forged in 2016, when Trump defied countless terminal prognoses to defeat Hillary Clinton.It is not irrational speculation. Americans have a history of sticking with flamboyant politicians with more than a passing relationship with the criminal justice system, from Marion Barry in Washington, D.C., to Edwin Edwards in Louisiana. Trump is a character from a similar mold, with ...
