Tijuana (Mexico) (AFP) - Three bodies recovered from a cliff-top shaft in Mexico's crime-hit Baja California state are very likely those of two Australian brothers and an American who disappeared on a surfing trip, local investigators said Saturday. The bodies were in an "advanced state of decomposition" when they were hoisted out of a shaft a few steps from the edge of the Pacific Ocean cliff, said state prosecutor Maria Elena Andrade. But "given their clothing and certain characteristics such as long hair and specific physical descriptions, we have high probability," that the bodies are in f...

Mexico City (AFP) - Mexico is the "champion" of production of synthetic drugs including fentanyl, the head of the country's criminal investigation agency acknowledged Tuesday, at international talks aimed at fighting the problem. The blunt admission came as visiting US officials called for a "more agile" joint approach to combating drug trafficking by powerful Mexican cartels. "Mexico has been the champion of the production of methamphetamine, and now fentanyl," Felipe de Jesus Gallo said. That had been "the source of the greatest wealth and power" for Mexican criminal organizations, he added....

Palominas (United States) (AFP) - John Ladd, who says he could ride a horse before he could walk, is a fourth-generation rancher from a family that arrived in Arizona when the border between Mexico and the United States was just a line on the map. Now he views that frontier -- and the thousands of people who spill across it every day -- as a threat to his whole way of life. "It rules how we run the ranch now, and that isn't the most effective way," he told AFP. Ladd's sprawling cattle farm runs right up against the wall that -- at least in this stretch -- separates Mexico from the United State...

A chilly, midday darkness fell across North America on Monday as a total solar eclipse raced across the continent, thrilling those lucky enough to behold the spectacle through clear skies. Eclipse mania gripped all of Mexico, the US and Canada, as the moon swept in front of the sun, blotting out daylight. Almost everyone in North America was guaranteed at least a partial eclipse, weather permitting. It was the continent’s biggest eclipse audience ever, with a couple hundred million people living in or near the shadow’s path, plus scores of out-of-towners flocking in. Just east of Dallas, Texas...

Sealevel rise and increasingly ferocious storms - both driven by climate change - are eroding thousands of miles of Mexico's coastline facing the Gulf and the Pacific Ocean. Around this country of nearly 130 million people, drought is draining reservoirs dry and creating severe water shortages. Deadly heat is straining people and crops and aging infrastructure is struggling to keep up. But the leading presidential candidate, Claudia Sheinbaum, an environmental scientist and a co-author of the 2007 Nobel Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report, is not making climate a cen...
