TARGETING SENIORS - Cyber con artists using artificial intelligence, apps and social engineering are targeting parents and grandparents who are being scammed out of what now totals $10 billion dollars a year in America.

THE SPERM WHALES OF DOMINICA - The sperm whale, one of the largest animals in the sea, is at risk because of noise pollution, ship strikes and plastic trash.
