Las autoridades mantienen bajo reserva los detalles sobre la persona de interés detenida tras el tiroteo ocurrido el sábado en la Universidad Brown, en Providence, Rhode Island, al señalar que revelar información podría entorpecer la investigación.

Mientras tanto, la comunidad estudiantil y residentes de Providence se reunieron en una vigilia para honrar a las víctimas del ataque. Testigos relataron momentos de pánico cuando estudiantes y personal huyeron del edificio de ingeniería, donde un pistolero abrió fuego alrededor de las 4 de la tarde.

Durante varias horas, la universidad y vecindarios cercanos al centro de Providence permanecieron bajo cierre preventivo, mientras más de 400 oficiales participaron en el operativo para identificar y detener al sospechoso.

Autoridades confirmaron que una persona de interés está bajo custodia y que continúan recopilando evidencia para presentar cargos ante la corte. Los dos fallecidos aún no han sido identificados. De los nueve estudiantes heridos, uno permanece en condición crítica, siete están estables y uno fue dado de alta.

El jefe de la policía de Providence pidió la colaboración del público y confirmó que el FBI participa en la investigación. Expertos señalan que ahora se analizan dispositivos electrónicos, posibles vínculos y si hubo más personas involucradas.

La Universidad Brown anunció la suspensión de operaciones por el resto del semestre, a pesar de que aún quedaban algunos días de exámenes finales.

(CNN) — A pod of Pacific white-sided dolphins off the coast of British Columbia have been observed cooperating with orcas, a traditional enemy that’s better known for taking out great white sharks than friendly interaction.

Scientists say they have documented the dolphins and a local population of killer whales known as Northern Resident orcas teaming up to hunt the orcas’ staple food: salmon. Though other groups of orcas feast on dolphins, Northern Residents do not. Still, it is the first time this type of cooperative behavior has been documented between the two marine mammals, researchers reported.

“Seeing them dive and hunt in sync with dolphins completely changes our understanding of what those encounters mean,” said Sarah Fortune, Canadian Wildlife Federation chair in large whale conservation and an assistant professor in Dalhousie University’s oceanography department. Fortune was the lead author of the study, which published Thursday in the journal Scientific Reports.

To witness the dolphins and orcas interacting, the researchers captured drone footage as well as underwater video by attaching suction tags to the orcas that were equipped with cameras and hydrophones.

Their footage showed that the killer whales traveled toward the dolphins and followed them at the surface level. The underwater footage revealed that the killer whales were also following dolphins on their dives of up to 60 meters (197 feet), where the orcas were able to prey on Chinook salmon.

Though light levels are low at those depths, Fortune said cameras picked up the killer whales catching salmon, with clouds of blood billowing from their mouths, and hydrophones picked up the crunch of a kill.

To understand better what was happening, the researchers also eavesdropped on the echolocation clicks made by dolphins and orcas, which allow animals to navigate and sense their environment by listening to the returned echoes of the noises they make. “We can look at the characteristics of these clicks to infer whether a whale is actively chasing a prey for a fish and also whether it may have caught the fish,” Fortune said.

The researchers recorded 258 instances of dolphins and orcas interacting between August 15 and 30, 2020.

They found that all the whales that interacted with dolphins also engaged in killing, eating and searching for salmon.

Put together, the data Fortune and her colleagues collected suggested that the killer whales, fearsome predators able to take on great whites and whale sharks several times their size, were essentially using the dolphins as scouts.

“By hunting with other echolocating animals like the dolphins, they might be increasing their acoustic field of view, providing greater opportunity to detect where the salmon are. That’s sort of the prevailing thought here,” she explained. Using dolphins in this way would also allow the orcas to conserve energy, with salmon often hiding at depths to try and avoid predators such as orcas.

But what do dolphins get out of the interactions?

The video Fortune and her colleagues collected showed that once the orcas caught their prey and shared it with the pod, the dolphins were quick to

(CNN) — The new head of Britain’s foreign intelligence service MI6 has warned the nation in her first public speech that the UK is “now operating in a space between peace and war” and “the front line is everywhere,” amid growing tensions with Russia.

Blaise Metreweli became the first female chief of the Secret Intelligence Service’s 116-year history when she took up her post this fall. Commonly referred to as “C,” the chief is the only publicly named member of the famously secretive organization.

In a speech at MI6 HQ in London on Monday, Metreweli highlighted the acute threat posed by Russia, and called out Moscow’s attempts to “bully, fearmonger and manipulate.”

“We all continue to face the menace of an aggressive, expansionist and revisionist Russia, seeking to subjugate Ukraine and harass NATO … (Putin) is dragging out negotiations and shifting the cost of war onto his own population,” she said.

Emphasizing the need to master new technology, Metreweli said recent advances in artificial intelligence, biotechnology and quantum computing could converge to create “science-fiction-like tools” which could be used as perilous weapons.

The chief previously led the service’s technology and innovation teams, a position made famous as “Q” in the James Bond movies.

From AI-powered robots that could have devastating impacts on the battlefield, to algorithims that could “become as powerful as states,” the new spy chief warned of the need to harness “every byte of data” for the UK’s strategic advantage.

She also highlighted the increasingly complex landscape of threats facing the UK, which is being contested “from sea to space … battlefield to the boardroom. And even our brains, as disinformation manipulates our understanding of each other and ourselves.”

Security experts say Russia has been waging a hybrid war on Western allies of Ukraine, following Moscow’s full-scale invasion of its neighbor. In the UK, Russian-backed operatives have set fire to Ukrainian-linked factories, police said.

Elsewhere in Europe, drones spotted near airports have halted flights, NATO airspace has been violated in Poland and Romania, and underwater cables have been disrupted in the Baltic Sea, sparking fears of sabotage. Russia has not claimed responsibility for any involvement in these incidents.

The MI6 boss also underlined the power of human agency in tackling threats to UK security.

“The defining challenge of the 21st century is not simply who wields the most powerful technologies, but who guides them with the greatest wisdom. Our security, our prosperity and
