Business
— Oct 7, 2026
Record U.S. crude production has not eased diesel shortages and high prices because refining capacity and distillate inventories remain constrained, while recovering oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz have yet to fully relieve market pressure.

Diesel Price Surge Raises Costs Beyond Fuel
Finance
— 5d
Rising diesel prices, driven by supply disruptions and constrained refining capacity, are increasing costs for transport, food and other essentials—from highly diesel-dependent Pacific islands to households in South Africa and the United States. Tax relief may ease some U.S. pump costs, but experts warn that supply pressures and the pass-through of fuel costs could keep affecting consumers even as governments and island nations pursue longer-term energy changes.

Scientists investigate rising whale calf deaths in Argentina

— Oct 2, 2026
An unusually high number of southern right whale calves have died along Argentina’s Patagonian coast, prompting an investigation by researchers who say the event is unprecedented in 23 years of monitoring. The leading hypothesis is that kelp gull wounds expose calves to marine bacteria, but scientists are testing samples and have not confirmed the cause.
