China’s biggest shipping and logistics company Cosco says it is planning to implement a ban on the transport of shark fins. The new policy was announced in a letter to the Hong Kong branch of the U.S. wildlife conservation group WildAid according to the local South China Morning Post. However, Cosco have yet to give an indication as to when the ban would be implemented. Cosco is the world’s fourth largest container operator and joins a host of shipping companies that have said no to transporting shark fin, although some like France’s CMA CGM and Taiwan’s Evergreen Line still carry fins from sharks that are not endangered. The change of heart comes after the discovery earlier this month of 880kg (nearly 2,000 pounds) of endangered hammerhead shark fins, protected under Hong Kong law, on board a Cocso vessel from Panama.

    Politico carries water for Trump by making it sound like Omarosa made the whole thing up: The recording appears to show Manigault Newman, along with Trump campaign aides Katrina Pierson and Lynne Patton, discussing during the 2016 campaign how to respond to something inappropriate candidate Donald Trump said, although they do not specify on the tape what word or words he used.

    The news that Trump was convicted on all 34 counts in New York went over about the way we expected it would on Fox "news." Shannon Bream asked Judge Box-O-Wine to weigh in shortly after the verdicts were read, and Pirro made it clear she was none too happy with the jurors, the judge, and DA and our entire judicial system during her unhinged rant about the United States going "over a cliff."
