Hostile Situation in Gaza Makes Evacuating Indonesians Difficult

Newsworthy event :

The government's plan to evacuate 10 Indonesians from the Gaza Strip is faced with obstacles because conditions in the area have not yet subsided. This was revealed by Fikri Rafi'ul Haq, an Indonesian student volunteering at the Medical and Humanitarian Institute (MER-C).

Background event :

Indonesians trapped in the Gaza Strip have received news from the Indonesian Embassy in Amman, the Indonesian Embassy in Cairo, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, all advising them to evacuate. But this is difficult following the closure of Rafah, which is the border between Gaza and Egypt and the only entrance that is not controlled by Israel following its air strikes.

"Yesterday we took part in a Zoom [meeting], and we were told that there are many obstacles that make it difficult to evacuate because the current conditions are not yet conducive," Fikri told Tempo by phone on Wednesday, October 11.

Fikri and two other Indonesian MER-C volunteers, Reza Aldilla Kurniawan and Farid Zanzabil Al-Ayubi have received news from the MER-C center to remain in the Gaza Strip. However, there were other volunteers who returned home because they prioritized safety.

"If the situation becomes too serious, we will hopefully be evacuated," he said.

The three volunteers are now stationed at the Indonesian Hospital (RSI) in Bayt Lahiya, north of Gaza. Since the fights between Israel and Palestine broke out on October 7, many residents took refuge in RSI, some having to sleep on the floor amid the cold autumn air.

"They are looking for safe places. Perhaps because the school run by the United Nations, which is also one of the places to evacuate, is full," he said.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) announced that on Tuesday, 10 October 2023, more than 187,000 people in the Gaza Strip had been displaced from their homes due to the war that had been going on for five days.

Breakthrough in Understanding Hidden Consciousness in Brain-Injured Patients, Columbia Researchers Find

Greetings:
Good evening, I'm Haneef Harland Said, and here's the latest medical breakthrough.

Newsworthy Event:
Researchers at Columbia University have made a significant discovery regarding brain injuries that could shed light on the perplexing phenomenon of hidden consciousness in brain-injured patients. Hidden consciousness, also known as cognitive motor dissociation (CMD), is a condition in which patients appear unconscious but may retain some level of awareness. This discovery could revolutionize the way we identify and treat such patients.

Background:
In a recent study led by Dr. Jan Claassen, MD, associate professor of neurology at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, researchers investigated the underlying causes of hidden consciousness. They found that while these patients can hear and comprehend verbal commands, they are unable to carry them out due to injuries in specific brain circuits responsible for relaying instructions from the brain to the muscles.

Hidden consciousness affects approximately 15% to 25% of patients with brain injuries resulting from head trauma, brain hemorrhage, or cardiac arrest. Previous research had identified subtle brainwaves detectable with EEG as strong predictors of hidden consciousness and eventual recovery in unresponsive brain-injured patients.

In this new study, EEG was used to examine 107 brain injury patients. The analysis detected CMD in 21 of these patients. Structural MRI scans were then analyzed to identify shared patterns of brain injury among CMD patients.

The key discovery was that CMD patients had intact brain structures related to arousal and command comprehension, indicating that they could hear and understand commands. However, they had deficits in brain regions responsible for integrating comprehended motor commands with motor output, preventing them from acting on verbal instructions.

Source:
This groundbreaking research was conducted by Columbia University and led by Dr. Jan Claassen, MD, chief of critical care and hospitalist neurology at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center. The study's co-lead author, Qi Shen, PhD, an expert in signal processing, machine learning, and biostatistics, played a pivotal role in this discovery.

While further research is needed before these findings can be applied in clinical practice, this development holds promise for the early identification and treatment of hidden consciousness in brain-injured patients. It may simplify the screening process and improve outcomes for those in need of rehabilitation and care.

That's all for this groundbreaking medical discovery. Stay tuned for more updates in the world of healthcare and research.

Columbia researchers have identified brain injuries that may underlie hidden consciousness, a puzzling phenomenon in which brain-injured patients are unable to respond to simple commands, making them appear unconscious despite having some level of awareness.

"Our study suggests that patients with hidden consciousness can hear and comprehend verbal commands, but they cannot carry out those commands because of injuries in brain circuits that relay instructions from the brain to the muscles," says study leader Jan Claassen, MD, associate professor of neurology at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons and chief of critical care and hospitalist neurology at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center.

The findings could help physicians more quickly identify brain-injured patients who might have hidden consciousness and better predict which patients are likely to recover with rehabilitation.
Brain circuits disrupted in patients with hidden consciousness
Hidden consciousness, also known as cognitive motor dissociation (CMD), occurs in about 15% to 25% of patients with brain injuries stemming from head trauma, brain hemorrhage, or cardiac arrest.

In previous research, Claassen and colleagues found that subtle brainwaves detectable with EEG are the strongest predictor of hidden consciousness and eventual recovery for unresponsive brain-injured patients.

But the precise pathways in the brain that become disrupted in this condition were unknown.

In the new study, the researchers used EEG to examine 107 brain injury patients. The technique can determine when patients are trying, though unable, to respond to a command such as "keep opening and closing your right hand."

The analysis detected CMD in 21 of the patients.

The researchers then analyzed structural MRI scans from all of the patients.

"Using a technique we developed called bi-clustering analysis, we were able to identify patterns of brain injury that are shared among patients with CMD and contrast to those without CMD," says co-lead author Qi Shen, PhD, associate research scientist in the Claassen lab and an expert in signal processing, machine learning, and biostatistics.

The researchers found that all of the CMD patients had intact brain structures related to arousal and command comprehension, supporting the notion that these patients were hearing and understanding the commands but were unable to carry them out.

"We saw that all of the CMD patients had deficits in brain regions responsible for integrating comprehended motor commands with motor output, preventing CMD patients from acting on verbal commands," says Claassen.

The findings may allow researchers to better understand which brain injury patients have CMD, which will be useful for clinical trials that support recovery of consciousness.

More research is required before these approaches can be applied to clinical practice. "However, our study shows that it may be possible to screen for hidden consciousness using widely available structural brain imaging, moving the detection of CMD one step closer to general clinical use," Claassen says.

"Not every critical care unit may have resources and staff that is trained in using EEG to detect hidden consciousness, so MRI may offer a simple way to identify patients who require further screening and diagnosis."

White House downplays CNN poll showing majority of Americans oppose more US aid for Ukraine

~ Newsworthy event
The White House on Wednesday downplayed CNN polling showing most Americans oppose Congress providing additional funding to support Ukraine in its war with Russia ahead of a reported administration request for more aid.

~ Background event
Last week, a CNN poll showed that overall, 55% say Congress should not authorize additional funding to support Ukraine vs. 45% who say Congress should authorize such funding. And 51% say that the US has already done enough to help Ukraine while 48% say it should do more. A poll conducted in the early days of the Russian invasion in late February 2022 found 62% who felt the US should have been doing more.

“We have seen throughout this war solid support from the American people, solid support from the Congress in a bipartisan and bicameral way for continuing to support Ukraine and we’re going to stay focused on that,” National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby told CNN on a call with reporters Wednesday.

“We have seen throughout this war solid support from the American people, solid support from the Congress in a bipartisan and bicameral way for continuing to support Ukraine and we’re going to stay focused on that,” National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby told CNN on a call with reporters Wednesday.

“It’s not just important to the people of Ukraine, but it’s important to our European allies and partners, particularly our NATO allies, given that this fighting is on the on the doorstep of many of those NATO allies.”

"People think, increasingly it appears, that we shouldn’t be doing this. Well, let me start by saying we haven’t lost a single American in this war,” McConnell said. “Most of the money that we spend related to Ukraine is actually spent in the US, replenishing weapons, more modern weapons. So it’s actually employing people here and improving our own military for what may lie ahead.”

“Occasionally, you’ve probably heard, ‘Well, isn’t China a bigger problem?’ But it’s all interrelated because what you’ve got here is the democratic world unified against this aggression,” McConnell said. “There’s a great concern in Asia. The prime minister of Japan, I think, said it best when he said, ‘if you want to send President Xi a message, beat the Russians in Ukraine.’”

“But I think we’ll have a very strong case, and hopefully garner congressional support for continued funding – in particular for munitions production increases and munitions buys to support Ukraine,”

Hi everyone, my name is..... Welcome to CNN News.

The White House on Wednesday downplayed CNN polling showing most Americans oppose Congress providing additional funding to support Ukraine in its war with Russia ahead of a reported administration request for more aid.

there were differences of opinion among the American public about helping Ukraine.

CNN poll results last week showed that overall 55% said they would not allow for additional Ukraine funding and 45% supported the funding.
and 51% said America has done enough to help Ukraine while 48% said America should do more.
in contrast to the results in the early days of the Russian invasion in late February 2022 62% of voters felt America should do more.
but the White House on Wednesday downplayed the poll results.

whereas the split in participants has widened since the poll, with most Democrats and Republicans now taking sides on different questions about America's role in Ukraine.

The comments come as the Biden administration is working on an additional funding request for Ukraine that is likely to be ready for congressional consideration this fall.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Wednesday called for continued support for Ukraine at an event in Louisville, Kentucky.

he specifically rejected arguments such as those advanced by senator Jose Hawley who said the US should stay focused on countering China and let European countries support Ukraine.

McConnell argued that the Biden administration lacked sufficient urgency in terms of supplying Ukrainian troops with arms and resources.

"One of my complaints about the Biden administration is the president has typically not done things soon enough,” he said. “The weapons get there later than they should, been a little too tentative in my view. He’s generally going in the right direction, but not fast enough or most effective enough.”

To sum it up, opinions on providing more funding for Ukraine are divided among American people. The White House downplayed recent poll results, and the split is now along party lines. As the Biden administration readies an aid request, there's a call for ongoing support, stressing the need for quicker and more effective actions, as highlighted by Senator McConnell.

And that’s all for today’s time-sizzling news. My name is.... From CNN News. Thank you & Have a great day.

Good morning everyone, we are a group 11 today and we will provide the latest news about ChatGPT or Ai which is currently being discussed

OpenAI's ChatGPT became the fastest-growing app in history after its launch in November 2022. Since its launch, it created both excitement and alarm to replace human in jobs.

OpenAI's ChatGPT might likely go bankrupt by the end of 2024 , Report says decline in users for a reason of people abandoning and stop using the technology

As per the report, when OpenAI applied for a trademark on GPT, it was seen as the downfall for the company and was also predicted that many users would eventually stop using the technology.

The report also showed data where ChatGPT website witnessed a user decline in the month of June and July as compared to May. On 3 August, SimilarWeb said that the ChatGPT traffic dipped for the second month in a row. A 9.6 percent drop was seen in the month of July while June recorded 9.7 percent decline. Speaking of users, July saw a 12 percent decline with 1.5 billion users as compared to June's 1.7 billion users.

Media reports have also stated that the OpenAI spends roughly $700,000 per day to run ChatGPT. As per Analytics India Magazine, Microsoft and other recent investors are covering these costs out of their own pockets, which could eventually drain them if it does not see profits soon.

Earlier in May, the company's losses doubled to $540 million since it started developing the Ai chatbot. Moreover, for 2023, the company has projected an annual revenue of $200 million and expects to reach $1 billion in 2024. This looks blur as the losses are only mounting, the report said.

Given these facts, OpenAI might find itself in a situation where declaring bankruptcy by the end of 2024 becomes necessary unless it quickly finds more funds, the report said.

Speaking of users, July saw a 12 percent decline with 1.5 billion users as compared to June's 1.7 billion users.

The report also cited a user on X which said a major reason for this decline could be API cannibalisation wherein most companies have been prohibiting their employees from using it for work. However, are free to use the API to integrate the large language model (LLM) into other workflows.

Another reason as stated by Analytics India Magazine could be Mark Zuckerberg's Meta which recently unveiled its Llama 2 chatbot. Microsoft appointed as Meta's preferred partner on Llama 2, will be available through the Windows operating system. Meta's Llama 2 has made its product open source which means that the original code is freely available, allowing it to be researched and modified.

Another reason could be persistent Graphics processing unit (GPU) shortage. Altman had pointed out that the lack of GPUs on the market affected the company's capacity to improve and develop new models. Earlier on 3 August, media reports had also stated that the company had filed for trademark application for 'GPT-5' which further indicates that the company wants to keep on training models.

Given these facts, OpenAI might find itself in a situation where declaring bankruptcy by the end of 2024 becomes necessary unless it quickly finds more funds, the report said.

Earlier on 19 July, Bloomberg had reported that Apple is working on its own artificial intelligence powered chatbot that could challenge those of OpenAI and others, however, the company has yet to devise a clear strategy for releasing the technology to consumers. Elon Musk too, had claims claims his new AI company xAI is better than Google and OpenAI in understanding the universe. He had criticized OpenAI for being controlled by Microsoft. Musk is training xAI to be 'maximally curious' and align with human values. Musk has been critical of OpenAI, a company he helped co-found in 2015. The billionaire claimed that OpenAI is "training AI to be woke" and that the company was "effectively controlled by Microsoft."

Meanwhile, in June, Chief Executive Sam Altman had said that the Microsoft-backed OpenAI has no plans to go public any time soon. "When we develop super intelligence, we are likely to make some decisions that most investors would look at very strangely," Altman said as reported by Reuters. "I don't want to be sued by ... public market, Wall Street etc, so no, not that interested," he said in response to a question on whether he will take OpenAI public. The company has so far raised $10 billion from Microsoft at a valuation of almost $30 billion as it invests more on building computing capacity. The company started off as a non-profit organisation but later created a hybrid "capped-profit" company, that allowed it to raise external funds with a promise that the original non-profit operation still benefits.

G3 NEWS | Bringing You the Latest News That Matters

Good day, viewers! Welcome to G3 NEWS, your trusted source for the latest newsworthy events from around the world. Today, we're diving deep into the realm of artificial intelligence (AI) and what it brings for our society and businesses. Here, we bring you expert insights, concerns, and a balanced perspective on this crucial matter. Stay tuned as we break down the facts and implications surrounding the big question "Will AI – Artificial Intelligence Take Over The World?".

The fear of an AI takeover is rooted in the idea of machines surpassing human intelligence and acting autonomously. This worry stems from the potential for AI systems to make decisions without human input, which could lead to catastrophic consequences. The integration of AI into technologies like self-driving cars and smart homes has amplified these concerns, raising questions about transparency and accountability in AI development.

We've all seen AI in movies like Terminator 2, but could it really happen? Let's find out what experts say. In a recent statement that challenges popular sci-fi narratives, Senior Lecturer in Computer Science Mauro Vallati states, "There is no risk of AI taking over the world because physical laws of the universe pose some very constraining hard limits." While the concept of AI takeover has become a significant concern, experts assert that it remains grounded in fiction rather than reality.

As AI continues to advance, experts emphasize the importance of addressing potential risks associated with the technology. Concerns include the development of AI with its own agenda, divergent from human values, potentially leading to global catastrophe. While these risks may seem distant, they underscore the need for careful measures to ensure AI is developed responsibly. Experts advocate for transparency, accountability, and regulation in AI development to align machines with human ethics and values. The strides made by AI are remarkable, yet the key traits of creativity, emotional intelligence, and problem-solving unique to humans remain beyond the grasp of machines, limiting their autonomy.

Turning our attention to the business realm, AI's potential to revolutionize growth and performance is a subject of constant discussion. As we continue to witness technological advancements, private sector companies are gearing up to invest in AI systems, with a notable focus on customer satisfaction and future implementations.

The landscape of AI is exciting, but vigilance is crucial. As we embrace the possibilities, it's essential to remain aware of potential risks. Join us as we explore the detailed and complex landscape of AI's influence on our lives, both present and future.

Thank you for joining us on G3 NEWS, where we bring you newsworthy events that shape our world. Stay tuned for more insightful updates!

Good morning everyone, this is the Hexa Journal reporting for duty. And now for your weekly news, we got Taylor Swift's Eras Tour Sets Music Industry Ablaze: From $100,000 Bonuses to Surprise Guests, Swifties Flock to Spectacle.

As Taylor Swift rolled into Los Angeles this week, the frenzy surrounding her record-breaking Eras Tour was already in high gear. Headlines gushed that she had given $100,000 bonuses to her crew. Politicians asked her to postpone her concerts in solidarity with striking hotel workers. Scalped tickets were going for $3,000 and up. And there were way, way too many friendship bracelets to count. These days, the center of an otherwise splintered music world can only be Taylor Swift.

The pop superstar’s tour, which is now finishing its initial North American leg with six nights at SoFi Stadium outside Los Angeles, has been both a business and a cultural juggernaut. Swift’s catalog of generation-defining hits and canny marketing sense have helped her achieve a level of white-hot demand and media saturation not seen since the 1980s heyday of Michael Jackson and Madonna — a dominance that the entertainment business had largely accepted as impossible to replicate in the fragmented 21st century.

Swifties have chronicled the stream of celebrity fans who have turned up each night: Julia Roberts, the New York Jets’ new quarterback Aaron Rodgers, even Flavor Flav of Public Enemy. But Swift has also made each show a news event by adding two “surprise songs,” often with headline-grabbing guests. On the July day that she put out a music video featuring Taylor Lautner, an ex-boyfriend, the actor backflipped across the stage in Kansas City, Mo., and paid Swift effusive tribute — “not just for the singer you are,” Lautner said, “but for the human you are.” The crowd registered its approval with an earsplitting roar.

The Taylorpalooza extends to every level of the news media, which began the coverage cycle by chronicling Swift’s ticketing fiasco last November, when fans — and scalpers’ bots — crushed Ticketmaster’s systems, leading to a heated Senate Judiciary hearing. Since then, seemingly no nugget of Swift news has escaped coverage, from the stars in the stands to oddities like a Seattle concert that, according to one researcher, shook the ground with an intensity equivalent to a 2.3-magnitude earthquake.

That's all the news today. If you want to get more information you may visit our website on hexajournal.com. Thank you for watching and have a great day.

NASA and NOAA stated that The Earth just had its hottest July ‘by a long shot’
News Casting - News Script | Group 7
By: Nara, Kiano, Jo, Deo, Kendra, and Kimiko

Greetings: Good Morning Everyone! And welcome back with us I’m …… (the anchor) and I'm .... (the reporter) We’re here reporting from The Hot7 News Channel and we're about to inform you of the latest, hot, and trending news from this year. Now let's take a glance at our headlines first….

NASA and NOAA stated that The Earth just had its hottest July ‘by a long shot’

Anchor: The month of July will go down in history as the warmest July ever observed and probably the warmest month in the 174-year history of temperature monitoring. This newly published ground-breaking data from National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), caught our attention.

Reporter: This shocking information was earlier today revealed by scientists from NASA and NOAA. The results show that with an increase of more than one-third of a degree Fahrenheit last month, the previous July temperature record had been significantly surpassed. Although it might seem like a small rise, in the context of the world records, it is a remarkable increase.

Reporter: This news milestone comes after a hot June that became known as the hottest June ever. And it’s not a singular occurrence. A number of extreme weather occurrences, including record-warmth across the world’s ocean., have occurred in recents months.

Expert Voice (Sarah Kapnick, NOAA’s Chief Scientist)
The Temperature last month was unusually high. Sarah Kapnick, the head scientist at NOAA, claims that July is normally the warmest month of the year. However, July this year has gone against all predictions. "Last month was way, way warmer than anything we've ever seen," Sarah stated in the news briefing.

Expert Voice (Carlos Del Castillo, Director of NASA’s Ocean Ecology Laboratory)
Based on what Carlos, the director of Nasa’s Ocean Ecology Laboratory expert opinions. The effects of this increase are serious, particularly for our oceans. According to what he said, the last ten years have been the oceans warmest since the 1880s. The consequences of this warming trend are death.

Reporter: Wide-ranging effects of rising ocean temperatures include the expansion of water as it heats and melting of land-based ice, both of which cause sea levels to rise. Communities near beaches could be put in danger due to this situation’s potential to cause coastal floods and erosion. Changes in the water temperature may also affect marine life and ecosystem, disturbing the natural balance of our oceans.

Reporter: Long-term human-caused global warming had an impact on the July records, but there was also another factor on this issue. El Niño, an ongoing phenomenon in the climate, has offered assistance. This phenomena has a history of raising global temperature and affecting global weather patterns. It is a characterized by warm ocean surface temperatures specific regions of the Pacific Ocean.

Russia’s new schoolbook aims to justify war on Ukraine

2. Newsworthy Event
Authorities in Moscow have unveiled a new schoolbook which aims to justify the war on Ukraine and accuses the West of trying to destroy Russia.

3. Background
The textbook, called "Russian History, 1945 - early 21st century", was co-authored by presidential adviser Vladimir Medinsky, formerly Russian culture minister. This is the first officially approved history book to be used in Russian schools which mentions events as recent as the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which started in February 2022. From September, it will be studied in the last year of secondary education in Russia - the 11th year - which is attended by pupils aged 17-18.

4. Source
- "Western social networks and media all too enthusiastically spread fake information," the textbook says in a chapter about the "special military operation".
- The textbook claims that "the West is fixated on destabilising the situation within Russia" and to achieve this aim, Western powers spread "undisguised Russophobia".
- According to the book, Ukraine is little more than a Western invention created to spite Russia, and even Ukraine's blue-and-yellow flag was supposedly invented by the Austrians keen to convince Ukrainians that they are different from Russians.
- The textbook also falsely claims that before Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014, Ukraine had plans to turn Sevastopol - the seat of Russia's Black Sea Fleet - into a Nato base and that later Kyiv said it wanted to acquire nuclear weapon

Authorities in Moscow have unveiled a new schoolbook which aims to justify the war on Ukraine and accuses the West of trying to destroy Russia.

According to excerpts published by Russian media, schoolchildren will now be taught that human civilisation could have come to an end had Vladimir Putin not started his "special military operation" against Ukraine.

The textbook, called "Russian History, 1945 - early 21st century", was co-authored by presidential adviser Vladimir Medinsky, formerly Russian culture minister.

This is the first officially approved history book to be used in Russian schools which mentions events as recent as the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which started in February 2022.

From September, it will be studied in the last year of secondary education in Russia - the 11th year - which is attended by pupils aged 17-18.

The textbook claims that "the West is fixated on destabilising the situation within Russia" and to achieve this aim, Western powers spread "undisguised Russophobia".

Then, it goes on, they started "dragging" Russia into various conflicts. The West's ultimate objective is to destroy Russia and take control of its mineral wealth, the schoolbook says.

It repeats numerous clichés from Kremlin propaganda, portraying Ukraine as an aggressive state run by nationalist extremists and manipulated by the West, which allegedly uses the country as a "battering ram" against Russia.

According to the book, Ukraine is little more than a Western invention created to spite Russia, and even Ukraine's blue-and-yellow flag was supposedly invented by the Austrians keen to convince Ukrainians that they are different from Russians.

The textbook is also rife with distortion and manipulation.

For example, it describes Russia's initial attack on Ukraine in 2014 as a popular uprising of eastern Donbas residents who "wanted to stay Russian" and who were joined by "volunteers" from Russia. It makes no mention of the military hardware and personnel Russia sent to Donbas at the time or over the next eight years.

It argues that one key reason for the full-scale invasion in 2022 was the possibility of Ukraine joining Nato.

If Ukraine had joined the alliance and then "provoked a conflict in Crimea or Donbas", the textbook says, Russia would have been forced to wage war against the whole of the Nato alliance.

"This would have possibly been the end of civilisation. This could not be allowed to happen," the schoolbook says.

However, Ukraine's accession to Nato was, back then - and remains now - a distant prospect.

The textbook also falsely claims that before Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014, Ukraine had plans to turn Sevastopol - the seat of Russia's Black Sea Fleet - into a Nato base and that later Kyiv said it wanted to acquire nuclear weapons.

Another false assertion in the textbook is that until 2014, 80% of Ukraine's population considered Russian as their mother tongue. According to a poll published by the reputable Razumkov Centre in 2006, only 30% of residents of Ukraine named Russian as their mother tongue, while 52% said Ukrainian was their native language.

In an apparent reference to the abundance of online material implicating Russian forces in atrocities committed in Ukraine, the textbook warns schoolchildren to be mindful of "a global industry manufacturing staged clips and fake photos and videos".

"Western social networks and media all too enthusiastically spread fake information," the textbook says in a chapter about the "special military operation".

Authorities in Russia have previously jailed activists who have accused Russian troops of targeting civilians in Ukraine. For example, Kremlin critic Ilya Yashin was jailed for eight-and-a-half years in December 2022 after discussing suspected Russian war crimes in the Ukrainian town of Bucha in an online live stream.

The textbook is critical of Western sanctions imposed on Russia in the wake of its invasion of Ukraine and presents them as an attempt to "destroy Russia's economy". It also wrongly argues that these sanctions "violate all the norms of international law which the West is so fond of quoting".

At the same time, the exodus of Western businesses from Russia in the wake of the full-scale invasion is presented as a "fantastic opportunity" for Russian businesspeople.

Good morning to you amazing people, this is Channel 8 News, where we give you the latest news that you won't find anywhere else.

On August 9 2023, an Ecuadorian presidential candidate known for speaking up against cartels and corruption was shot and killed Wednesday at a political rally in the capital, amid a startling wave of gang-driven violence in the South American country.

President Guillermo Lasso confirmed the assassination of Fernando Villavicencio and suggested organized crime was behind his slaying, less than two weeks before the Aug. 20 presidential election.

“I assure you that this crime will not go unpunished,” Lasso said in a statement. “Organized crime has gone too far, but they will feel the full weight of the law.”

Videos of the rally on social media appear to show Villavicencio walking out of the event surrounded by guards. The video then shows the candidate getting into a white pickup truck before gunshots are heard, followed by screams and commotion around the truck. This sequence of events was confirmed to The Associated Press by Patricio Zuquilanda, Villavicencio’s campaign adviser.

It was reported that prior to the shooting, Villavicencio had received multiple death threats, including from affiliates of Mexico’s Sinaloa Cartel, one of a slew of international organized crime groups that now operate in Ecuador.

Villavicencio was one of eight candidates, though not the front-runner. The politician, 59, was the candidate for the Build Ecuador Movement.

Supporter Ida Paez said that Villavicencio’s campaign had given her hope that the country could overcome the gangs. At the rally, she said, “We were happy. Fernando even danced. His last words were, if someone messes with the people, he is messing with my family.”

Patricio Zuquilanda, Villavicencio’s campaign adviser said that “The Ecuadorian people are crying and Ecuador is mortally wounded. Politics cannot lead to the death of any member of society.”

Villavicencio was one of the country’s most critical voices against corruption, especially during the 2007-2017 government of President Rafael Correa.

He was also an independent journalist who investigated corruption in previous governments, later entering politics as an anti-graft campaigner.

In Fernando Villavicencio's final speech, he promised that he would root out corruption and lock up the "thieves".

Authorities said that at least nine others were injured in the Wednesday shooting, including officers and a congressional candidate, in what they described as a “terrorist act.”

The killing was met with an outcry by other candidates who demanded action, with presidential front-runner Luisa González of the Citizen Revolution party saying “when they touch one of us, they touch all of us.”

Villavicencio was married and is survived by five children.

And that’s all from Channel 8 News, we hope that you enjoy the rest of day.

Prior to the shooting, Villavicencio said he had received multiple death threats, including from affiliates of Mexico's Sinaloa Cartel, one of a slew of international organized crime groups that now operate in Ecuador. He said his campaign represented a threat to such groups.

"Here I am showing my face. I'm not scared of them," Villavicencio said in a statement, naming detained crime boss José Adolfo Macías by his alias "Fito."

Villavicencio was one of eight candidates, though not the front-runner. The politician, 59, was the candidate for the Build Ecuador Movement.

Supporter Ida Paez said that Villavicencio's campaign had given her hope that the country could overcome the gangs. At the rally, she said, "We were happy. Fernando even danced. His last words were, if someone messes with the people, he is messing with my family."

As drug traffickers have begun to use the country's coastal ports, Ecuadorians have reeled from violence not seen for decades. The sounds of gunfire ring in many major cities as rival gangs battle for control, and gangs have recruited children. Just last month, the mayor of the port city of Manta was shot and killed. On July 26, Lasso declared a state of emergency covering two provinces and the country's prison system in an effort to stem the violence.

Former vice president and candidate Otto Sonnenholzner said in a news conference following Wednesday's killing, "We are dying, drowning in a sea of tears and we do not deserve to live like this. We demand that you do something."

Good Evening everyone, welcome to Funtastic six news and this is the late-night edition, i'm your host Cherrysa, and i'm here to bring you the latest updates on 1975 controversy that are leading to legal charges.

Matty Healy, the singer of a well known band called 1975 has earned all the attention of the public after their performance in Malaysia, what happened was during the band's headline performance, Healy addressed the audience in a profanity-laden speech before kissing a fellow band member.

The event in Kuala Lumpur was cancelled the next day after a directive from Malaysia's communications ministry as part of its "unwavering stance against any parties that challenge, ridicule or contravene Malaysian laws".

Homosexual acts are illegal in Malaysia and punishable by 20 years in prison - Healy's performance was also criticised by members of the country's LGBT community as an act of "performative activism" that would make their lives harder.

On Monday, the company behind the Good Vibes Festival sent the band a warning letter demanding compensation.

The event was cancelled after the band's singer Matty Healy attacked the country's anti-LGBT laws.

Representatives for the band refused to comment when contacted by the BBC.

Event organisers Future Sound Asia said in a statement that it had issued the band with a Letter of Claim - essentially a final warning - demanding they acknowledge their liability and compensate the organisers for damages incurred.

They said the band's failure to do so would result in legal proceedings being pursued in English courts.

FSA said it strongly disapproved of the band's conduct, in particular Healy's "use of abusive language, equipment damage, and indecent stage behaviour".

It said the band had "intentionally contravened" the agreement it had with organisers, leading to the festival's cancellation and resulting in "significant financial losses" for FSA, as well as negatively impacting local artists and businesses reliant on the festival.

In footage shared online, Healy could be seen telling the crowd that the band's decision to appear in Malaysia had been a "mistake".

The band later cancelled performances in Indonesia and Taiwan.

In the end after all the provocative actions during a concert led to its cancellation due to anti-LGBT laws and then finally the Organizers sought compensation for the incident, Matty Healy has admitted the mistake, resulting in show cancellations in other countries, that is all from us, we are hoping everyone is in good condition and also hoping you have a great day ahead.

Good morning folks, today at Andromeda News. Bringing your space news.

A Tiny rock has hit one of the James Webb Telescope main mirrors.

James Webb presumably launched in December 2021. On July 12th 2022 astronomers will due its first view release of the cosmos. The incident appears to have occurred sometime between 23 and 25 May of 2022.

The damage inflicted by the dust-sized micrometeoroid is producing a noticeable effect in the observatory's data but is not expected to limit the mission's overall performance. James Webb was launched in December to succeed the revolutionary - but now ageing - Hubble Space Telescope. Analysis indicates the mirror segment known as C3 - one of the 18 beryllium-gold tiles that make up Webb's 6.5m-wide primary reflector - was struck. The contact left a "dimple" in the segment, Nasa told the Reuters news agency.

And that’s all for today’s Andromeda News. Once again I am Olliecia Radhikananda  thank you for watching and see you soon at Andromeda News

Headline:

The launch of a revolutionary satellite that will reveal celestial objects in a new light and the “Moon Sniper” lunar lander has been postponed.

Newsworthy event:

The XRISM satellite (pronounced “crism”), also called the X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission, is a joint mission between JAXA and NASA, along with participation from the European Space Agency and Canadian Space Agency. The satellite and its two instruments will observe the universe’s hottest regions, largest structures and objects with the strongest gravity, according to NASA. XRISM will detect X-ray light, a wavelength invisible to humans.

Background event:

Liftoff was expected at at 8:26 p.m. ET Sunday, or 9:26 a.m. Japan Standard Time on Monday, but inclement weather — and specifically high upper winds above the launch site — led to the postponement less than 30 minutes prior, according to the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. While the agency has not announced a new launch date, the launchpad at the Tanegashima Space Center is reserved through September 15. The launch had already been rescheduled twice due to bad weather.

Some of the things we hope to study with XRISM include the aftermath of stellar explosions and near-light-speed particle jets launched by supermassive black holes in the centers of galaxies,” said Richard Kelley, XRISM principal investigator at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, in a statement.

“XRISM’s Resolve instrument will let us peer into the make-up of cosmic X-ray sources to a degree that hasn’t been possible before,” Kelley said. “We anticipate many new insights about the hottest objects in the universe, which include exploding stars, black holes and galaxies powered by them, and clusters of galaxies.”

“The spectra XRISM collects will be the most detailed we’ve ever seen for some of the phenomena we’ll observe,” said Brian Williams, NASA’s XRISM project scientist at Goddard, in a statement.

indirect speech:

JAXA contends, it will transform missions from landing where we can to landing where we want.

One mission, one community, one assailant. Good morning everyone, we hope you are having a great day today, This is Deadline avoider bringing you the top stories that are sure with no bias. For the details of our news.

The national hurricane center has just reported a breaking news. Tropical strorm Hillary made landfall on the Baja California peninsula in northwester Mexico, with "catastrophic and life threatening flooding."

Hilary, which was downgraded from a hurricane to a tropical storm Sunday morning, is forecast to produce 3 to 6 inches of rain in many areas, with some predicting up to 10 inches in parts of northern Baja California. the storm is expected to hit southern California on sunday afternoon, becoming the first tropical stormn to hit the region after 84 years.

Forecasters warned that the strom could produce life-thereating flash flooding, mudslides, dangerous surf conditions and even tornadoes.

Rainfall could fall at a rate of 3 inches per hour at the storm's peak, particularly in the mountainous parts of the state, according to local forecasts. Meterologists have said that Hillary could produce more than a year's worth of rain in some of the driest part of the southwest, increasing the risks of dangerous flooding and landslides.

Nearly 1,000 flights within, into or out of the United States were canceled Sunday, as the storm barreled up the coast. The storm has already caused extensive flooding in parts of Baja California. One person drowned on Saturday in the town of Santa Rosalia after the stream overflowed.

And that’s all for today’s time-sizzling news. Once again this is deadline avoider delivering news from worldwide towards one united direction, Thank you for being with us for a moment. Have a great day.

Tropical Storm Hilary made landfall Sunday on the Baja California peninsula in northwestern Mexico, with "catastrophic and life-threatening flooding" expected in the region, including across portions of the southwestern United States, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Hilary, which was downgraded from a hurricane to a tropical storm Sunday morning, is forecast to produce 3 to 6 inches of rain in many areas, with some predicting up to 10 inches in parts of northern Baja California.

"Flash and urban flooding, locally catastrophic, is expected," the hurricane center said in its latest update.

The storm was the latest threat to hit North America, which has been beleaguered by extreme events in recent weeks. Much of the U.S. has been gripped by punishing heat this summer, and a heat dome is expected to bake the central and southern parts of the country in the coming days. Earlier this month, wildfires tore through Maui, killing at least 114 people in what has become the deadliest wildfires in modern U.S. history. Dangerous wildfires are also raging in Washington State and across the border in western Canada.

The storm is expected to reach Southern California on Sunday afternoon, becoming the first tropical storm to hit the region in 84 years.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Saturday declared a state of emergency, while forecasters warned that the storm could produce life-threatening flash flooding, mudslides, dangerous surf conditions and even tornadoes.

Rainfall could fall at a rate of 3 inches per hour at the storm's peak, particularly in the mountainous parts of the state, according to local forecasts. Heavy rain, along with the threat of flash flooding, will persist through Monday morning, according to the National Hurricane Center.

A state of emergency was similarly declared in Clark County, Nevada. Meteorologists have said that Hilary could produce more than a year's worth of rain in some of the driest parts of the Southwest, increasing the risk of dangerous flooding and landslides.

Nearly 1,000 flights within, into or out of the United States were canceled Sunday, as the storm barreled up the coast.

The storm has already caused extensive flooding in parts of Baja California. One person drowned Saturday in the town of Santa Rosalia after a stream overflowed, reported T he Associated Press.

Hilary developed in the eastern Pacific Ocean and reached Category 4 strength as a hurricane but was downgraded to a tropical storm before it made landfall.

1. Headline:
Earth just had its hottest July ‘by a long shot,’ NASA and NOAA say

2. Newsworthy Event:
The planet had its warmest July on record “by a long shot” — and very likely also had its warmest-ever month in 174 years of record-keeping — according to NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

The striking data, presented Monday by scientists from both agencies, indicate that last month smashed Earth’s previous July record by more than one-third of a degree Fahrenheit — a figure that may seem small but represents a staggering leap in the context of global records.

The new milestone follows what was the hottest June in recorded history, and is just the latest in a series of worrying climate extremes in recent months, including record-warmth across the world’s oceans.

“Last month was way, way warmer than anything we’ve ever seen,” Sarah Kapnick, NOAA’s chief scientist, said Monday in a news briefing, adding that July is typically the planet’s warmest month of the year. Given that, “it’s very likely that July 2023 was hotter than any month in any year since at least 1850,” she said.

3. Background Event:
NASA and NOAA together found that last month’s average global surface temperature was 2.02 degrees Fahrenheit above the 20th-century average. This was the first time an average July temperature recorded 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit, or 1 degree Celsius, above the long-term average, according to NOAA.

Last month was also the fourth consecutive month that global ocean surface temperatures hit a record high, the scientists said. NOAA said July 2023 had the highest monthly sea surface temperature anomaly, which is a measure of how much warmer or cooler temperatures are from the long-term average, at 1.78 degrees Fahrenheit.

Carlos Del Castillo, chief of the Ocean Ecology Laboratory at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, said the past 10 years have been the warmest decade for the world’s oceans since the 1880s. This trend in ocean warming carries far-reaching consequences, he said.

“As the oceans heat, the water expands, and when you combine that with the melting of ice over land, that contributes to increases in sea-level rise,” Del Castillo said, adding that rising seas can trigger coastal flooding and coastal erosion. Changes in ocean temperatures can also have enormous impacts on marine species and their broader ecosystems, he said.

The new July records were driven by long-term, human-caused global warming but were also amplified by a naturally occurring climate pattern called El Niño. This phenomenon is characterized by warm ocean surface temperatures in parts of the Pacific Ocean and tends to boost global temperatures and influence weather conditions around the world.

As per the report, when OpenAI applied for a trademark on GPT, it was seen as the downfall for the company and was also predicted that many users would eventually stop using the technology.

The report also showed data where ChatGPT website witnessed a user decline in the month of June and July as compared to May. On 3 August, SimilarWeb said that the ChatGPT traffic dipped for the second month in a row. A 9.6 percent drop was seen in the month of July while June recorded 9.7 percent decline. Speaking of users, July saw a 12 percent decline with 1.5 billion users as compared to June's 1.7 billion users.

The report also cited a user on X which said a major reason for this decline could be API cannibalisation wherein most companies have been prohibiting their employees from using it for work. However, are free to use the API to integrate the large language model (LLM) into other workflows.

Another reason as stated by Analytics India Magazine could be Mark Zuckerberg's Meta which recently unveiled its Llama 2 chatbot. Microsoft appointed as Meta's preferred partner on Llama 2, will be available through the Windows operating system. Meta's Llama 2 has made its product open source which means that the original code is freely available, allowing it to be researched and modified.

Media reports have also stated that the OpenAI spends roughly $700,000 per day to run ChatGPT. As per Analytics India Magazine, Microsoft and other recent investors are covering these costs out of their own pockets, which could eventually drain them if it does not see profits soon.

Earlier in May, the company's losses doubled to $540 million since it started developing the Ai chatbot. Moreover, for 2023, the company has projected an annual revenue of $200 million and expects to reach $1 billion in 2024. This looks blur as the losses are only mounting, the report said.

Another reason could be persistent Graphics processing unit (GPU) shortage. Altman had pointed out that the lack of GPUs on the market affected the company's capacity to improve and develop new models. Earlier on 3 August, media reports had also stated that the company had filed for trademark application for 'GPT-5' which further indicates that the company wants to keep on training models.

Given these facts, OpenAI might find itself in a situation where declaring bankruptcy by the end of 2024 becomes necessary unless it quickly finds more funds, the report said.

Earlier on 19 July, Bloomberg had reported that Apple is working on its own artificial intelligence powered chatbot that could challenge those of OpenAI and others, however, the company has yet to devise a clear strategy for releasing the technology to consumers. Elon Musk too, had claims claims his new AI company xAI is better than Google and OpenAI in understanding the universe. He had criticized OpenAI for being controlled by Microsoft. Musk is training xAI to be 'maximally curious' and align with human values. Musk has been critical of OpenAI, a company he helped co-found in 2015. The billionaire claimed that OpenAI is "training AI to be woke" and that the company was "effectively controlled by Microsoft."

Meanwhile, in June, Chief Executive Sam Altman had said that the Microsoft-backed OpenAI has no plans to go public any time soon. "When we develop super intelligence, we are likely to make some decisions that most investors would look at very strangely," Altman said as reported by Reuters. "I don't want to be sued by ... public market, Wall Street etc, so no, not that interested," he said in response to a question on whether he will take OpenAI public. The company has so far raised $10 billion from Microsoft at a valuation of almost $30 billion as it invests more on building computing capacity. The company started off as a non-profit organisation but later created a hybrid "capped-profit" company, that allowed it to raise external funds with a promise that the original non-profit operation still benefits.

- Headline : Presidential candidate assassinated at campaign rally in Ecuador

- Newsworthy Event : Fernando Villavicencio, known for speaking up against cartels and corruption, was killed amid a startling wave of gang-driven violence in the South American country.

- Backround Event :
An Ecuadorian presidential candidate known for speaking up against cartels and corruption was shot and killed Wednesday at a political rally in the capital, amid a startling wave of gang-driven violence in the South American country.

President Guillermo Lasso confirmed the assassination of Fernando Villavicencio and suggested organized crime was behind his slaying, less than two weeks before the Aug. 20 presidential election.

- Source :
“I assure you that this crime will not go unpunished,” Lasso said in a statement. “Organized crime has gone too far, but they will feel the full weight of the law.”

Ecuador’s attorney general’s office said that one suspect died in custody from wounds sustained in a firefight after the killing, and police detained six suspects following raids in Quito.

In his final speech before he was killed, Villavicencio promised a roaring crowd that he would root out corruption and lock up the country’s “thieves.”

Indirect Speech:
Ecuador’s attorney general’s office said that one suspect died in custody from wounds sustained in a firefight after the killing, and police detained six suspects following raids in Quito.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Prior to the shooting, Villavicencio said he had received multiple death threats, including from affiliates of Mexico's Sinaloa Cartel, one of a slew of international organized crime groups that now operate in Ecuador. He said his campaign represented a threat to such groups.

"Here I am showing my face. I'm not scared of them," Villavicencio said in a statement, naming detained crime boss José Adolfo Macías by his alias "Fito."

Villavicencio was one of eight candidates, though not the front-runner. The politician, 59, was the candidate for the Build Ecuador Movement.

Supporter Ida Paez said that Villavicencio's campaign had given her hope that the country could overcome the gangs. At the rally, she said, "We were happy. Fernando even danced. His last words were, if someone messes with the people, he is messing with my family."

As drug traffickers have begun to use the country's coastal ports, Ecuadorians have reeled from violence not seen for decades. The sounds of gunfire ring in many major cities as rival gangs battle for control, and gangs have recruited children. Just last month, the mayor of the port city of Manta was shot and killed. On July 26, Lasso declared a state of emergency covering two provinces and the country's prison system in an effort to stem the violence.

Former vice president and candidate Otto Sonnenholzner said in a news conference following Wednesday's killing, "We are dying, drowning in a sea of tears and we do not deserve to live like this. We demand that you do something."

-Headlines:
Bayern Munich have agreed a deal worth close to £100m to sign England captain Harry Kane from Tottenham

-Newsworthy event:
"Bayern Munich have agreed a deal worth close to £100m to sign England captain Harry Kane from Tottenham."

Background event:
After failing with three bids for the England captain, Bayern Munich have finally convinced Daniel Levy to cave, with David Ornstein reporting that the Bavarians have reached an agreement with Tottenham to sign their star man for a fee of over €100m (£86m/$110m).

So now it's over to Kane. Reports suggested that the 30-year-old had made up his mind that this summer would be the right time to leave Spurs, where he's worshipped by the club's supporters having become their record goalscorer. A move to the Bundesliga champions looks an appealing one, although it's not yet clear if Tottenham's talisman, who had reportedly agreed terms with Bayern earlier in the transfer window, will ultimately complete the switch.

Source:
Bayern Munich have reached an agreement with Tottenham Hotspur to sign Harry Kane, sources in Germany indicate.

A proposal from the Bundesliga side, believed to be worth more than €100million (£86.4m, $110m), was accepted by their Premier League counterparts on Wednesday.

Indirect Speech:
"Kane wants his future resolved before Tottenham's season-opening Premier League game at Brentford on Sunday August 13, live on Sky Sports."

Direct Speech:
"Kane now has a decision to make, with the forward understood to be leaning towards staying with Tottenham."

Greetings folks, We have news that Tottenham Hotspurs stiker Hary kane, is planned to join German champions Bayern Munich or "The Bavarians" as the fans calls them.

Bayern Munich have agreed a deal in principle with Tottenham Hotspur to sign Harry Kane, believed to be worth more than €100m (£86m).
The agreement leaves it up to the 30-year-old England captain whether he wishes to stay at Spurs or join the German champions.

Tottenham's forward and all-time top scorer Hary kane, is now 30 and has one year left on his contract with Spurs and must now make a decision about whether or not to leave.
Kane was contacted by Manchester United earlier this summer before Bayern Munich made kane their main target. The striker's future in London has been uncertain for several seasons,
while a number of Bayern bids were rejected earlier this summer. Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has repelled interest in Kane numerous times over the years,
including in 2021 when Premier League champions Manchester City tried to sign the striker. New Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou on the other hand,
had promised to sell Kane his "vision" for the club
following his appointment this summer,saying he wanted the striker to stay in north London.

Kane has won the Premier League Golden Boot three times - in 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2020-21 - since making his debut for the club in 2012.

With 213 goals from 320 Premier League games, Kane needs just 48 more to break Alan Shearer's scoring record.

Yet England's all-time leading scorer - with 58 international goals - has never won a major trophy with club or country.

Bayern, on the other hand, are regular silverware winners in Germany.

Harry Kane, arrived at a Munich hospital on Friday evening for medical tests as fans gathered outside the club's headquarters. Sources told ESPN.

Headline: Warning signs for West Nile virus are starting to flash on the West Coast, experts say

Background: A historically wet winter and, now, hotter summer are leading to “pretty big” warning signs for West Nile virus in the Western US, public health and mosquito control experts say, suggesting that residents should take care to avoid bites.

Source: “The number of mosquitoes that have hatched off after the spring snowmelt is pretty tremendous in many of the states, whether it be Colorado or Utah or California,” said Daniel Markowski, technical adviser for the American Mosquito Control Association.

Saying Verbs: say, suggesting, said

Direct Speech:
- “The number of mosquitoes that have hatched off after the spring snowmelt is pretty tremendous in many of the states, whether it be Colorado or Utah or California,” said Daniel Markowski
- “Mosquitoes develop in standing water, so the more standing water you have, the more habitat there is for mosquitoes, particularly this year early in the season due to the snowmelt and rainfall,” she said
-  “you’re at the right temperature, the right mosquito population and the right time of year for localized outbreaks to occur.”
- Mosquitoes, Kramer says, “are the most dangerous animal in the world, after all.”
- “tend to like the dusk and dawn period,” she said
- “Once you start seeing increases of West Nile virus in those mosquitoes, that does raise the alarm that people need to be taking measures to prevent being bitten by mosquitoes,” Staples said.

- West Nile virus is the most common cause of mosquito-borne disease in the continental US, with thousands of cases reported to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention every year, said Dr. Erin Staples, the medical epidemiologist in charge of the agency’s arboviral diseases branch.
- The virus doesn’t cause symptoms in about 80% of people who contract it, but 1 in 5 can have fever with muscle aches, headache and rash, Staples said.
- A smaller proportion of people – about 1%, according to Dr. Vicki Kramer, chief of the California Department of Public Health’s Vector-Borne Disease Section – develop severe disease, an infection involving the central nervous system that can cause paralysis or death.

Good Morning Everyone, it's Maverick reporting now. The latest news trend at the end of this week is Japan to start releasing Fukushima wastewater as soon as Thursday.

Japan will begin releasing treated radioactive water from Fukushima into the ocean as early as Thursday. Officials announced on Tuesday, following months of heightened public anxiety and pushback from many neighbouring countries. Japan’s devastating 2011 earthquake and tsunami caused water within the Fukushima nuclear plant to be contaminated with highly radioactive material. Since then, new water has been pumped in to cool fuel debris in the reactors, while ground and rainwater have leaked in, creating more radioactive wastewater. All this wastewater has so far been treated and stored in massive tanks. But space is running out, and authorities say they need to get rid of the water to safely decommission the plant, that’s why Japan needs to do the ocean release plan.

In July, the United Nations’ International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) concluded that Japan’s plan aligns with international safety standards and would have a “negligible radiological impact to people and the environment”. Which it reiterated on Tuesday after the government’s announcement, saying the plan had undergone two years of “detailed review.”

South Korea's Official said there’s no technical or scientific problem that might happen. But still, it doesn’t mean that the government agrees about the plan. South Korea’s Main party also criticised the government, because the release might cause “unimaginable damage” for all the countries around Japan.

Fishing communities in Japan and Korea also worry about the damages that might happen to them. In fact, some countries already banned Japan’s and its nearby seafood. There were some demonstrators that gathered, they were protesting the release on tuesday after the announcement.

Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) that the majority of the dangerous elements can be moved by some various treatment processes. The issue is that the radioactive tritium can’t be removed, because there is no technology that can do so. But, TEPCO, IAEA, and Japan's government said that tritium occurs naturally in the environment. So the release should be safe. Even so, some scientists said that a small amount of tritium won't be too bad, but could be extremely dangerous if consumed in large amounts. The scientists worried that it could harm marine life.

That’s all for today’s news. This is maverick, News reported.

"I think we are happier, we are feeling fast again," he added. "The strategy was perfect, the start was good, pit stops good as well, and the pace of the car back in the mix with the top teams.

"I think we can go into the summer break a little bit more optimistic, but with the feet on the ground, knowing that we still lost a little bit of competitiveness since the beginning of the year, so more to come from Aston Martin hopefully after the summer."

On the other side of the garage, Lance Stroll made it a double points finish with a run to ninth, having beaten AlphaTauri rival Yuki Tsunoda to the chequered flag by just under a second.

"It was good to pick up a couple of points, especially at a circuit where we haven't been particularly strong this weekend," the Canadian commented.

"We made the decision to go for a long first stint on the medium tyres because we could see some rain coming on the radar. The rain did come in some areas of the track, but it was drivable without needing intermediates, so we boxed for the soft tyre.

"It was a bit of a gamble - if the rain had been heavy enough, we could have saved ourselves the extra stop - but in hindsight two stops was probably the better strategy. The last stages of the race became about managing the soft tyre, so I didn't really have the grip to defend when Esteban [Ocon] was closing in.

"We've had a mixed start to the season and I think we know there's some work to do as we head into the second half. That being said, it's been a huge step up from last year and I know the team is motivated to keep pushing for more."

Ecuadorians vote to ban oil drilling in the Amazon in ‘historic’ referendum

-Newsworthy event:
Ecuadorians have voted to ban oil drilling in one of the most biodiverse places on the planet, the Yasuní National Park, situated in the Amazon rainforest.

-Background event:

The referendum comes as the impacts of human-caused climate change accelerate, as the world continues to burn fossil fuels. Last month was the planet’s hottest June on record, and some scientists warn that the Amazon is heading towards a dangerous tipping point.

-Source:
With more than 92% of the votes counted, nearly 59% of voters rejected the oil drilling while 41% voted in favor, according to the National Electoral Council of Ecuador (CNE) on Monday morning.

~Language Features:

Action Verb:

-Direct Speech:
1.“This referendum presents a huge opportunity for us to create change in a tangible way,” Helena Gualinga, an Indigenous rights advocate from a remote village in the Ecuadorian Amazon, told CNN.

2. Mitch Anderson, executive director of the non-profit Amazon Frontlines, said in a statement: “In one fell swoop, the Ecuadorian people struck a mighty blow to the oil industry, protected one of the most biodiverse forests in the Amazon, and showed the world what grassroots climate action really looks like.”

3. But Fernando L. Benalcazar, a senior consultant at APD Proyectos, which works with the extractive industry, said that Ecuadorians had voted to ban drilling “without understanding the implications for the economic and social development of Ecuador.”

-Indirect Speech:
But environmental and Indigenous groups argued that Ecuador needs to move away from fossil fuels and protect the Amazon, saying that other economic activities such as eco-tourism could help fill the gap.

"Columbia Researchers Unveil Brain Injury Link to Hidden Consciousness Phenomenon"

Newsworthy Event:

In a groundbreaking stride, researchers hailing from Columbia University have succeeded in unravelling the enigmatic connection between brain injuries and the perplexing realm of hidden consciousness. This extraordinary phenomenon, where brain-injured patients present an unresponsive facade to basic commands while preserving an underlying cognitive awareness, has long baffled the medical community and stirred profound questions about the interplay between the human brain and consciousness itself.

Background Event:

The phenomenon, baptized as cognitive motor dissociation (CMD), casts its shadow upon an estimated 15% to 25% of individuals grappling with brain injuries, emanating from incidents such as traumatic head trauma, cerebral hemorrhage, or even cardiac arrest. Dr. Jan Claassen's prior pioneering efforts paved the way by spotlighting the significance of subtle brainwaves that manifest through EEG, emerging as formidable predictors heralding hidden consciousness and the eventual recovery of patients who linger in an unresponsive state. However, a pivotal juncture remained—the intricate neural pathways orchestrating this paradox had yet to be unveiled.

Dr. Jan Claassen, an associate professor of neurology at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, alongside his role as chief of critical care and hospitalist neurology at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center, spearheaded the research study that yielded these groundbreaking insights.

Language Features:

Action Verbs:

The study's narrative is enriched with an array of dynamic action verbs. "Identified" and "comprehend" signify the intellectual feats achieved by the researchers. "Execute" emphasizes the patients' struggle to carry out tasks, while "recover" denotes the prospect of returning functionality. "Employ" and "scrutinize" highlight the meticulous approach taken by the scientists. "Ascertain" and "discern" underscore the painstaking nature of uncovering hidden consciousness. "Support" reflects the foundation upon which conclusions rest. Lastly, "capture" and "unveil" evoke the revealing of an intriguing puzzle piece.

Saying Verbs:

Direct quotations are unveiled with "elucidates" and are attributed using "says" as the narrative seamlessly weaves in expert commentary.

Direct Speech:

According to Dr. Jan Claassen, the lead researcher, the study's findings offer a compelling insight into the experience of patients with hidden consciousness. "Our study suggests that patients with hidden consciousness can hear and comprehend verbal commands, but they cannot carry out those commands because of injuries in brain circuits that relay instructions from the brain to the muscles." Claassen's statement not only encapsulates the essence of the research but also sheds light on the underlying mechanisms behind hidden consciousness.

Indirect Speech:

Previous investigations orchestrated by Claassen and his colleagues had already illuminated the potent role of EEG-detected subtle brainwaves, serving as robust harbingers indicative of hidden consciousness and the subsequent resurgence of responsiveness among brain-injured patients. The statement portrays Claassen's past research endeavors and underscores how the research community's efforts have paved the way for this recent breakthrough in understanding hidden consciousness.

Columbia researchers have identified brain injuries that may underlie hidden consciousness, a puzzling phenomenon in which brain-injured patients are unable to respond to simple commands, making them appear unconscious despite having some level of awareness.

"Our study suggests that patients with hidden consciousness can hear and comprehend verbal commands, but they cannot carry out those commands because of injuries in brain circuits that relay instructions from the brain to the muscles," says study leader Jan Claassen, MD, associate professor of neurology at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons and chief of critical care and hospitalist neurology at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center.

The findings could help physicians more quickly identify brain-injured patients who might have hidden consciousness and better predict which patients are likely to recover with rehabilitation.
Brain circuits disrupted in patients with hidden consciousness
Hidden consciousness, also known as cognitive motor dissociation (CMD), occurs in about 15% to 25% of patients with brain injuries stemming from head trauma, brain hemorrhage, or cardiac arrest.

In previous research, Claassen and colleagues found that subtle brainwaves detectable with EEG are the strongest predictor of hidden consciousness and eventual recovery for unresponsive brain-injured patients.

But the precise pathways in the brain that become disrupted in this condition were unknown.

In the new study, the researchers used EEG to examine 107 brain injury patients. The technique can determine when patients are trying, though unable, to respond to a command such as "keep opening and closing your right hand."

The analysis detected CMD in 21 of the patients.

The researchers then analyzed structural MRI scans from all of the patients.

"Using a technique we developed called bi-clustering analysis, we were able to identify patterns of brain injury that are shared among patients with CMD and contrast to those without CMD," says co-lead author Qi Shen, PhD, associate research scientist in the Claassen lab and an expert in signal processing, machine learning, and biostatistics.

The researchers found that all of the CMD patients had intact brain structures related to arousal and command comprehension, supporting the notion that these patients were hearing and understanding the commands but were unable to carry them out.

"We saw that all of the CMD patients had deficits in brain regions responsible for integrating comprehended motor commands with motor output, preventing CMD patients from acting on verbal commands," says Claassen.

The findings may allow researchers to better understand which brain injury patients have CMD, which will be useful for clinical trials that support recovery of consciousness.

More research is required before these approaches can be applied to clinical practice. "However, our study shows that it may be possible to screen for hidden consciousness using widely available structural brain imaging, moving the detection of CMD one step closer to general clinical use," Claassen says.

"Not every critical care unit may have resources and staff that is trained in using EEG to detect hidden consciousness, so MRI may offer a simple way to identify patients who require further screening and diagnosis."

One in six young people eat fast food twice a day, according to a survey of the nation's eating habits.

The BBC Good Food Nation Survey found that most people ate fast food on average two days per week.

But in the 16 to 20-year-old category, one in six ate fast food at least twice a day, with one in eight among 21 to 34-year-olds eating as frequently.

The study of more than 5,000 people found that half of them thought "a meal isn't a meal without meat".

However, the same proportion were unaware of how much meat is a recommended daily amount.

The Department of Health advises an average of no more than 70g per day, which is the equivalent of two-and-a-half rashers of bacon.

But nearly one in four people thought the recommended amount of meat was at least double that.

The survey found that a fifth of men (21%), and 32% of 16 to 21-year-old men and women, ate meat at least three times a day.

The typical adult now eats meat at least twice a day and has only six meat-free days a month.

Christine Hayes, brand editorial director of BBC Good Food, said it showed it was "easy to be confused about the amount of meat one can enjoy while still eating a healthy, balanced diet".

She added: "Those who do eat meat can still cook a Sunday roast and eat the occasional steak when balanced with some meat-free dishes."

The survey found that two in five people aged 21 to 34-year-olds had posted a photo of a meal they had cooked, on social networking sites such as Instagram.

A third had posted a photo of a meal they had eaten in a restaurant.

And almost one in three have been inspired to cook a meal after seeing a photo on social media.

Also, 43% in that age group used the internet on their mobile phones to find a recipe while 26% will follow a video recipe on their phone.

The same proportion of people were influenced by YouTube when purchasing food.

Skipping meals

Among the other findings of the survey, more than a quarter of adults always or almost always skipped eating breakfast.

When it came to the 21 to 34-year-old age group, one in four said they missed breakfast most of the time.

This age group was also the one most likely to skip eating lunch.

However they were the generation most likely to exercise regularly, with 86% claiming they did so.

The 21 to 34-year-olds were also the age group most likely to be vegetarian (15%) or vegan (7%).

And they were also the age group least likely to be concerned about fat content when buying food (18%), while only half considered the issue of quality when choosing food.

The survey found only 6% of young people were satisfied with their current eating habits.

What foods do our bodies need to stay healthy?

The foods we need to eat can be divided into five separate groups.

The average household spent £54.65 a week on food, about £20 on eating out, and £10 on takeaways, the survey found.

That was a fall from £57.30 a week spent on food shopping in 2015 - a difference of £137.80 annually.

The results of the survey also revealed that 49% of respondents ate fresh food less than once a day in an average week, with nearly one in 10 eating fresh food no more than once a week.

Sarah Toule, head of health information at World Cancer Research Fund, said the survey results were worrying.

"It's frightening that people, especially younger generations, are eating so much junk food loaded with fat, sugar and salt, but offers little nutritional value."

"Especially high in calories, junk food leads to unhealthy weight gain - which in turn increases the risk of 11 cancers later in life.

"It's also worrying that people don't know they're eating a dangerous amount of red meat," she added.

She called on the government to include stronger policies in its childhood obesity plan to improve things.

"Having junk food splashed across our television screens before the 9pm watershed only helps feed the unhealthy food environment we live in - especially in the eyes of children", she said

Favourite meals

The poll found that classic British dishes such as fish and chips and a full English breakfast had dropped out of the nation's top five favourite meals.

The top five meals in 2016, according to the survey, were:

1. Sunday roast

2. Curry

3. Pizza

4. Pasta

5. Steak and chips

However among the 16 to 20-year-olds the top five meals were:

1. Pizza

2. Curry

3. Pasta

4. Burger

5. Steak and chips

Hello everyone 👋🏻 so today we will be discussing about news structure and language features, the news we choose for this assignment is the "incident of Matty Healy from the band 1975 in Malaysia"
News Source ~ https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-66429339

☆ Structure

⇒ Headlines
Matty Healy: The 1975 threatened with legal action after Malaysia festival cancellation

⇒ Newsworthy event
The organisers of a festival in Malaysia cancelled last month after a controversial performance by the British band The 1975 have threatened the group with legal action.

⇒ Background event
During the band's headline performance, Healy addressed the audience in a profanity-laden speech before kissing a fellow band member.
The event in Kuala Lumpur was cancelled the next day after a directive from Malaysia's communications ministry as part of its "unwavering stance against any parties that challenge, ridicule or contravene Malaysian laws".
Homosexuality is illegal in Malaysia and punishable by 20 years in prison - Healy's performance was also criticised by members of the country's LGBT community as an act of "performative activism" that would make their lives harder.

⇒ Source
Event organisers Future Sound Asia said in a statement that it had issued the band with a Letter of Claim - essentially a final warning - demanding they acknowledge their liability and compensate the organisers for damages incurred.

☆ Language features

♪ Action Verb
⇒ cancelled, threatened, demanding, refused, kissing, disapproved, addressed

♪ Saying verb
⇒ said, telling the audience

♪ Direct Speech
⇒ FSA said it strongly disapproved of the band's conduct, in particular Healy's "use of abusive language, equipment damage, and indecent stage behaviour".

⇒ "When we were booking shows, I wasn't looking into it," he said. "I don't see the [expletive] point, right, I do not see the point of inviting The 1975 to a country and then telling us who we can have sex with.

"Unfortunately you don't get a set of loads of uplifting songs because I'm [expletive] furious," the frontman continued. "And that's not fair on you, because you're not representative of your government. Because you're young people, and I'm sure a lot of you are gay and progressive and cool."

⇒ Soon after - just 30 minutes into the set - Healy and the band walked off stage, with the singer telling the audience: "Alright, we just got banned from Kuala Lumpur, see you later."

♪  Indirect speech
⇒ Event organisers Future Sound Asia said in a statement that it had issued the band with a Letter of Claim - essentially a final warning - demanding they acknowledge their liability and compensate the organisers for damages incurred.

⇒ They said the band's failure to do so would result in legal proceedings being pursued in English courts.

⇒ Healy's performance was also criticised by members of the country's LGBT community as an act of "performative activism" that would make their lives harder.

Tropical Storm Hilary made landfall Sunday on the Baja California peninsula in northwestern Mexico, with "catastrophic and life-threatening flooding" expected in the region, including across portions of the southwestern United States, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Hilary, which was downgraded from a hurricane to a tropical storm Sunday morning, is forecast to produce 3 to 6 inches of rain in many areas, with some predicting up to 10 inches in parts of northern Baja California.

"Flash and urban flooding, locally catastrophic, is expected," the hurricane center said in its latest update.

The storm was the latest threat to hit North America, which has been beleaguered by extreme events in recent weeks. Much of the U.S. has been gripped by punishing heat this summer, and a heat dome is expected to bake the central and southern parts of the country in the coming days. Earlier this month, wildfires tore through Maui, killing at least 114 people in what has become the deadliest wildfires in modern U.S. history. Dangerous wildfires are also raging in Washington State and across the border in western Canada.

The storm is expected to reach Southern California on Sunday afternoon, becoming the first tropical storm to hit the region in 84 years.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Saturday declared a state of emergency, while forecasters warned that the storm could produce life-threatening flash flooding, mudslides, dangerous surf conditions and even tornadoes.

Rainfall could fall at a rate of 3 inches per hour at the storm's peak, particularly in the mountainous parts of the state, according to local forecasts. Heavy rain, along with the threat of flash flooding, will persist through Monday morning, according to the National Hurricane Center.

A state of emergency was similarly declared in Clark County, Nevada. Meteorologists have said that Hilary could produce more than a year's worth of rain in some of the driest parts of the Southwest, increasing the risk of dangerous flooding and landslides.

Nearly 1,000 flights within, into or out of the United States were canceled Sunday, as the storm barreled up the coast.

The storm has already caused extensive flooding in parts of Baja California. One person drowned Saturday in the town of Santa Rosalia after a stream overflowed, reported T he Associated Press.

Hilary developed in the eastern Pacific Ocean and reached Category 4 strength as a hurricane but was downgraded to a tropical storm before it made landfall.

headlines —
An electric cruise ship with gigantic solar sails is set to launch in 2030

newsworthy event —
Adventure cruise company Hurtigruten Norway today revealed plans for a zero-emissions electric cruise ship with retractable sails covered in solar panels, which is due to set sail in 2030.

background event —
The company currently has a fleet of eight ships, each with a capacity of 500 passengers, that travel along the Norwegian coast from Oslo to the Arctic Circle. Although a relatively small firm, CEO Hedda Felin hopes that this innovation “can inspire the entire maritime industry.”

The project, named “Sea Zero,” was initially announced in March 2022 and since then, Hurtigruten Norway, along with 12 maritime partners and Norway-based research institute SINTEF, has been exploring technological solutions that could help to achieve emission-free marine travel.

source of information —
Gerry Larsson-Fedde, SVP of marine operations for Hurtigruten Norway, who came up with the idea of a zero-emission ship, estimates that the batteries will have a range of 300 to 350 nautical miles, meaning that during an 11-day round trip, one liner would have to charge around seven or eight times.

direct speech —
“In Norway, although it can be dark sometimes in winter, we still have sun in the south. And we have sun 24 hours a day in the summer. We will be super-powered by the midnight sun on top of everything else,” he says.

“We want to make them more aware of how much energy they use by spending 10 minutes more in the shower or having air conditioning going full,” says Larsson-Fedde.

“We are dependent on the ocean and the environment. That’s our product: clean oceans, clean harbors, local suppliers,” says Felin. “We want to push and be the leader in sustainability, as we believe that our industry is far too slow and not ambitious enough.”

indirect speech —
To reduce reliance on the battery, when it’s windy, three retractable sails – or wings – will rise out of the deck, reaching a maximum height of 50 meters. They can adjust independently, shrinking to pass under bridges or changing their angle to catch the most wind, explains Larsson-Fedde. He adds that the sails will be covered in a total of 1,500 square meters of solar panels that will generate energy to top up the batteries while sailing – and the battery levels will be displayed on the ship’s side.

(Headline) James Webb Space Telescope hit by tiny meteoroid

(Newsworthy event) A tiny rock fragment has hit the new James Webb Space Telescope's main mirror.

(Background event) The damage inflicted by the dust-sized micrometeoroid is producing a noticeable effect in the observatory's data but is not expected to limit the mission's overall performance. Analysis indicates the mirror segment known as C3 - one of the 18 beryllium-gold tiles that make up Webb's 6.5m-wide primary reflector - was struck. The contact left a "dimple" in the segment

(Source) The US space agency Nasa said these images would be no less stunning because of what's just happened.

B.) Saying verbs : said, told

C.) Direct Speech :

"We always knew that Webb would have to weather the space environment, which includes harsh ultraviolet light and charged particles from the Sun, cosmic rays from exotic sources in the galaxy, and occasional strikes by micrometeoroids within our Solar System," said Paul Geithner,

"We designed and built Webb with performance margin - optical, thermal, electrical, mechanical - to ensure it can perform its ambitious science mission even after many years in space."

Structure :
1. Main event/newsworthy event
' Western nations worry about the bond between Russia and China. But perhaps they should consider the possible consequences if this friendship breaks down. '

2. Elaboration/background
' In the mid-20th century, a skirmish on a small island in a river in a remote area of Asia that forms the border between Russia and China nearly escalated to nuclear war.

The Soviet Union had just invaded Czechoslovakia. Fearing future Soviet aggression, China’s leader, Mao Zedong, ordered a surprise attack on what’s known as Damansky Island in Russia and Zhenbao Island in China in 1969 to display China’s military resolve. In response, Moscow strengthened its border defenses and issued nuclear threats to deter Beijing and intimidate it into negotiating.

Although the conflict was short lived, the nuclear crisis lasted for months. At one point, due to fears of a Soviet strike, Mao and other party leaders fled Beijing and placed its nuclear forces on full alert. It was only under the shroud of the Soviet’s “nuclear blackmail” that the Chinese negotiated a settlement.

Since this low point, relations have significantly improved.

After Mao’s death, Beijing and Moscow expanded trade ties and gradually settled all border disputes. Their current leaders, Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin, now declare the two nations maintain a “friendship without limits.” '

3. Source of information
' “In the Russian Far East and Siberia, Russia has a small population, and right across the border, there’s a huge Chinese population,” Carlson said. “So, there’s concerns that China could covet that territory eventually. So far, China has been very careful to respect Russia’s interest there, so it hasn’t been a big source of conflict. But, over time, as Russia becomes weaker, and China becomes stronger, that can become more of an issue.” '

Language features :
A. Action verbs : forms, featuring, lasted, escalated, fled, etc
B. Saying verbs : said
C. Direct speech : “When China and Russia talk about multipolarity, they want themselves to have sovereignty, but they don’t necessarily grant that to smaller countries,” Carlson said.
D. Indirect speech : He said that the U.S. would be unprepared for a two-front war waged simultaneously in Europe and Asia by China and Russia. He noted the defense relationship between the two countries has expanded.
