A "faceless" deep-sea fish not seen for more than a century has been rediscovered by scientists trawling the depths of a massive abyss off Australia's east coast, along with "amazing" quantities of rubbish.

The 40cm fish was rediscovered 4km below sea level in waters south of Sydney by scientists from Museums Victoria and the Australian government's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) on the weekend.

Dr Tim O'Hara, the chief scientist and expedition leader, who is a senior curator of marine invertebrates at Museums Victoria, said it was the first time the fish had been seen in waters off Australia since 1873, when one was dredged up by a British ship near Papua New Guinea.

A major search and rescue mission is underway for 81 people still missing from a devastating cyclone that killed at least seven people.

Cyclone Mora, which ravaged the north east with 85mph winds, also injured 50 and left thousands of people destitute and homeless in Bangladesh and northeast India.

Among them are 81 fishermen from Cox's Bazar, a sliver of land in southeast Bangladesh bordering Myanmar.

The men have not been seen since the cyclone first ravaged the area on Tuesday.

'Still 81 fishermen are missing out of 144 fishermen,' Mostaque Ahmed, head of the Cox's Bazar Mechanised Fishing Boat Owners Association, said.

'The Bangladesh Naval Force has rescued 33, and the Indian Naval Force has rescued 30.'

One graph proves why the 'Paris Agreement' is useless

Global Warming Hoax Climate Change
Activists think the world will be uninhabitable for our children if the U.S. pulls out of the Paris Climate Accord. For example, via Vox
Quitting the Paris climate agreement would be a moral disgrace

President Trump is selling out our kids to give false hope to coal workers. [...]

There is no employment upside to an "America First" retreat from global leadership on one of the few issues that can accurately be described as a potentially existential threat to humankind.

There is only the profound immorality of abdication — of gleefully passing a mounting problem on to our children, and on to the poor.

The Aboriginal cultural beliefs including all Polynesian and specifically the Maori, state that when the red southern auroras reach their lands death follows blood and fire. This last week not only were the auroras red, but intensely charged blue. The solar storm that engulfed the planet lit up both poles with a KP Index of 7 near the current top of 9. Looking at the 6 Maori wooden deity, the 16 comets of the Mawangdui silk and paintings of arrows in the skies of the 1300's, they all have one thing on common: Omens in the heavens when red auroras and comets appear in our skies. This video is a comparison of all three, draw your own conclusion if you see the similarity that I see.

Officials with Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks are investigating reports that a man was attacked by a mountain lion near Libby.

Wardens received a report on Saturday, May 27 that a man sustained minor injuries from an encounter with a mountain lion near Boundary Mountain North of Libby on Friday morning.

The man, whose name has not been released, told investigators he was trying to drag out a log he had cut for firewood when he was hit by the mountain lion and knocked into a tree.

His report goes on to say that he swung back at the animal and hit it before running to his truck.

He told FWP wardens that he scared the lion off with his truck after the animal approached him a second time.

Wardens say the man received superficial scratches to the side of his face and stomach. He reportedly did not seek medical attention.

Foreign aid arrives as Sri Lanka flood toll exceeds 200

Foreign aid arrives as Sri Lanka flood toll exceeds 200
Tens of thousands of Sri Lankans remained away from their homes on Wednesday, as the death toll from devastating floods and mudslides climbed past 200, officials said.

Foreign Minister Ravi Karunanayake said 16 countries had rushed relief supplies and medicine to assist more than 600,000 people who were driven away from their homes following Friday's monsoon deluge.

"We also have a lot of enquiries from other countries and organisations wanting to know our immediate needs. We are moved by the spontaneous response," Karunanayake told reporters in the capital, Colombo.

India and Pakistan have also deployed medical teams on the ground in some of the worst-affected areas, he said.

The Disaster Management Centre (DMC) confirmed the death toll rose to 202 after the discovery of more landslide victims beneath tonnes of mud in Sri Lanka's hard-hit southwest.
