> The US Supreme Court has begun hearing a challenge over whether the air force may keep detonating unexploded munitions at Tarague Beach in Guam. Conservation group Prutehi Guahan says the activity could harm ecosystems, cultural sites and water resources, and argues the military failed to complete the required environmental review. The case also raises questions about representation for US territory residents.
