North Korea satellite 'tumbling in orbit,' U.S. official says.

South Korea has recovered about 270 pieces of debris, believed to have come from the rocket launch, from the ocean Sunday and is working to analyze the objects, a South Korean Defense Ministry official told CNN.

South Korea fired warning shots Monday morning after a North Korean patrol boat crossed the maritime border between the Koreas, the South Korean Defense Ministry said.

A state TV newsreader said that the launch had been personally ordered and directed by North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, who was pictured smiling in official photographs as he oversaw the launch, and that more satellite launches were planned.

Germany train crash: Several killed near Bavarian town of Bad Aibling.

The trains' operator said both trains had partially derailed and were wedged into each other.

The drivers of both trains and two train guards were among those killed, regional broadcaster Bayerischer Rundfunk said, quoting police.

He added: "The site is on a bend so we have to surmise that both train drivers had no visual contact before the crash and therefore crashed into each other largely without braking."

Australia Cuts 110 Climate Scientist Jobs.

"I'm saddened for climate science itself, for services to Australia, and particularly for the younger scientists who are just starting to make their mark in this important area," said John Church, an oceanographer at CSIRO and a world-renowned expert on sea-level rise.

CSIRO's scientists began building theirs in 1981 and have honed it to represent the Southern Hemisphere and Australia's climate at particularly high resolution.

"Australia is ground zero for climate change," a CSIRO scientist said.

Climate scientists rebuked Marshall's understanding of climate change science and its importance.

But since CSIRO is a government-funded agency, the events may affect how Australia is perceived globally, said Erwin Jackson, deputy CEO of the Climate Institute. Source
