Morning Midas cargo ship: EVs behind fire sinking of 3000 vehicles off Alaska - Here's latest
The Morning Midas, a 600-foot Liberian-flagged cargo ship carrying 3,048 vehicles, including 70 fully electric vehicles (EVs) and 681 hybrids, sank in the Pacific Ocean, southwest of Adak, Alaska, after a fire broke out this week. Managed by Zodiac Maritime, the ship was en route from Yantai, China, to Lázaro Cárdenas, Mexico, when the blaze led to the sinking. Smoke rises from a fire aboard the cargo vessel Morning Midas, carrying around 3,000 vehicles, including 800 electric vehicles(via REUTERS) 'There is no visible pollution,' Petty Officer Cameron Snell, an Alaska-based US Coast Guard spokesperson said, as per the Associated Press. "Right now we also have vessels on scene to respond to any pollution.' The fire originated on a deck carrying EVs, with smoke first spotted around midnight UTC. Zodiac Maritime confirmed the blaze began in the EV section, suggesting lithium-ion battery ignition as a likely trigger, though the exact cause remains under investigation. Read More: Las Vegas plane crash reports: What exactly caused fire at Harry Reid International Airport Lithium-ion batteries, used in EVs, can overheat or short-circuit if damaged, producing intense fires that are difficult to extinguish. The ship's CO2 fire suppression system failed after exhausting its supply, as lithium-ion fires require vast amounts of water—up to 10,000 gallons per vehicle. Sean DeCrane of the International Association of Fire Fighters noted the fire's behavior as 'consistent with known EV ignition patterns,' particularly with ineffective CO2 systems. No specific brand has been linked to the ignition, and Great Wall confirmed its 140 vehicles were not EVs and were on a different deck. Sinking of the Morning Midas The fire burned for weeks, spreading across multiple decks, as seen in US Coast Guard photos. This week, the combination of fire damage and severe weather caused the ship to sink in 5,000-meter-deep waters, according to reports. The vessel carried 350 metric tons of gas fuel and 1,530 metric tons of very low-sulfur fuel oil. The Morning Midas carried 3,048 vehicles, with 70 EVs and 681 hybrids, likely including models from Chinese manufacturers like Chery and SAIC. There were about 22 crew members on board. No reports of injuries have emerged so far.

Trump signals US may ease Iran oil sanction enforcement to help rebuild country
Jun 26, 2025 03:28 AM IST President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that the US has not given up its maximum pressure on Iran - including restrictions on sales of Iranian oil - but signaled a potential easing in enforcement to help the country rebuild. US President Donald Trump reacts during a press conference at a NATO summit in The Hague, Netherlands, June 25, 2025.(Reuters) "They're going to need money to put that country back into shape. We want to see that happen," Trump said at a news conference at the NATO Summit when asked if he was easing oil sanctions on Iran. Trump said a day earlier that China can continue to purchase Iranian oil after Israel and Iran agreed to a ceasefire, but the White House later clarified that his comments did not indicate a relaxation of US sanctions. Trump imposed waves of Iran-related sanctions on several of China's independent "teapot" refineries and port terminal operators for purchases of Iranian oil. Steve Witkoff, Trump's Middle East envoy, told CNBC that Trump's comment on China's ability to buy Iranian oil "was a signal to the Chinese that we want to work with you, that we're not interested in hurting your economy." China is the top buyer of Iranian crude and has long opposed Trump's sanctions on the oil. "We're interested in working together with you in unison, and hopefully that becomes a signal to the Iranians," Witkoff said.

Must draw a hard line: US lawmakers want AI systems from these countries to be ‘banned' from government agencies
Representative Image A bipartisan group of US lawmakers have proposed a bill to ban AI systems from China, Russia, Iran and North Korea from federal executive agencies, a report claims. According to a report by the news agency Reuters, the legislation wants to create a permanent framework to prohibit the use of these foreign-developed AI models by US government agencies. The recently introduced bill by Representative John Moolenaar (Republican-Michigan) and Representative Raja Krishnamoorthi (Democrat-Illinois) would require the Federal Acquisition Security Council to establish and regularly update a list of AI models developed in these countries. What US lawmakers said about this bill In a statement to Reuters, Moolenaar said: 'The US must draw a hard line: hostile AI systems have no business operating inside our government. This legislation creates a permanent firewall to keep adversary AI out of our most sensitive networks, where the cost of compromise is simply too high.' Under the proposed law, federal agencies would be barred from purchasing or using these AI technologies unless granted a specific exemption, such as for research purposes, from the US Congress or the Office of Management and Budget, Reuters reported. The bill also includes a provision allowing technologies to be removed from the banned list if proof is provided that they are not controlled or influenced by a foreign adversary. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo This comes after a previous Reuters report cited a senior US official who claimed that DeepSeek is helping China's military and intelligence operations, and the Chinese AI company has had access to "large volumes" of Nvidia's chips. In January, DeepSeek came into the spotlight by announcing it had developed an AI model similar in capability to OpenAI's ChatGPT but at a lower cost. Since then, several US companies and government agencies have restricted its use due to data security concerns, and the Trump administration is reportedly considering a ban on its use on federal devices. The bill was co-sponsored by US Representative Ritchie Torres (Democrat-New York) and Representative Darin LaHood (Republican-Illinois). In the US Senate, it is being led by Senators Rick Scott (Republican-Florida) and Gary Peters (Democrat-Michigan), the Reuters report added. Redmi Pad 2: Know these Things Before Buying!
