Leap Of Faith: Emperor Penguin Chick Takes The…
An emperor penguin chick was photographed for the first time jumping off an ice shelf about 15 meters high. This film will be featured in the series “Secrets of the Penguins” which will be broadcast by National Geographic and Disney Plus on Earth Day in April 2025. (Video by Bertie Gregory)
Like teenagers on a cliff, waiting for the first person brave enough to jump into a lake, hundreds of month-old emperor penguins are hidden on a 50-foot-high Antarctic ice shelf.
Hungry chicks are peering over the edge of the cliff, as if wondering if it is safe to jump from this height into Antarctic waters.
Then a chick flew in.
Some of the chicks watching from the side crane their necks to watch as the chick falls into the icy sea below, making a splash. After a few seconds, the chicks surfaced and swam away in search of fresh fish, krill, and squid. The other chicks gradually start to follow, and they fly one after the other, flapping their wings to move underwater instead of in the air.

Dissidents Refuse To Continue With Dialogues Without Ceasefire
The Central General Staff (EMC), the main dissident of the FARC, assured this Monday, through one of its war fronts, that if the Colombian Government does not reestablish the bilateral ceasefire, the dialogues will not continue.
“We believe that the only possibility of moving forward is to declare a bilateral ceasefire at the national level and to look for mechanisms to establish a negotiating table that represents the entire Farian unity,” said a dissident from the Eastern Joint Command, which operates in the east of the country.
The Colombian government suspended the bilateral ceasefire in the departments of Nariño, Cauca and Valle del Cauca last month in response to attacks against an indigenous community that left one leader murdered and two injured.
The Government assured that this measure did not affect the dialogues, which began last year with this dissident group led by ‘Iván Mordisco’, a former FARC leader who did not sign the peace agreement.
However, the EMC has asked the Government on several occasions to reestablish this measure and even threatened to attack military and police positions.
Now, in this new announcement, the dissidents allege: “due to the Government’s non-compliance,

Authorities have labeled the recent attack on a bishop at a church in Sydney as an act of terrorism, urging the public to remain calm in the aftermath of the disturbing event.
During a service at the Christ The Good Shepherd Church in Wakeley, Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel and at least four others were injured in the attack.
