During president @ZelenskyyUa‘s recent visit to London, I discussed this issue with the IMO leadership and called for the deployment of an international monitoring mission to Ukraine’s ports. We expect this mission to begin its work as planned in the fall and help document every act of Russia’s maritime terror, paving the way for accountability.” Continue reading...

Follow live Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast More on that response from China to Penny Wong’s comments at Asean: They came in a press conference held by foreign ministry spokesperson Lin Jian. According to the official translated transcript, he was asked about Wong’s comments that China’s missile test in the Pacific was destabilising, and her concern about “some of the aggression” it is seeing in the South China Sea, in particular a recent confrontation between China and the Philippines. The root cause of the tension at sea lies with the deliberate infringement activities and provocation of the Philippines. Relevant countries are not parties in the South China Sea, and are in no position to interfere in the maritime issues between countries concerned. Apparently, whenever something happens at sea, the same few countries immediately point their fingers at China regardless of who exactly is at fault. Are they trying to keep the South China Sea peaceful and stable, or simply to destabilize? I think the answer is quite clear. We urge relevant countries to stop hyping up tensions and sowing confrontation. Continue reading...

11-year-old dog bite victim dies, a day after man’s death at Karachi's JPMC

KARACHI: Two patients, including a boy from Sanghar, died of rabies in as many days at the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC) while a woman from Hyderabad affected by the deadly infectious disease is currently under palliative care at the Indus Hospital, it emerged on Friday. With the latest cases, sources said, the death toll from the infectious disease has risen to 25. Thirteen deaths were reported at Indus Hospital — 12 at its Korangi facility and one at its Badin campus. The JPMC has recorded eight deaths this year so far. Four rabies cases, sources said, were reported in the interior parts of the province and consulted with experts at the Indus Hospital over the past two months. Experts raise alarm over need for proper treatment, controlling dog population to save lives The sources said that the latest cases at the JPMC involved an 11-year-old boy, who was bitten by a dog in Sanghar four months ago and reported at the facility on Wednesday, and a 24-year-old man from Qayyumabad, Karachi, who passed away within a few hours of his arrival at the hospital on Thursday. “Both patients were brought to us with symptoms, strongly suggestive of rabies encephalitis [a serious medical condition defined by inflammation of the brain tissue]. “The boy’s family told us that he had received vaccination for the dog bite prior to reporting at the hospital,” said Dr Irfan Siddiqui heading the JPMC’s emergency centre, adding that the patient from Qayyumabad didn’t seek any treatment at all following a dog bite two months ago in the city. According to him, all eight cases of rabies, either resulted in fatal outcomes or had been discharged against medical advice. “Once clinical symptoms appear, the viral infection is almost 100 per cent fatal,” he said. The JPMC data show that the hospital has seen 8,856 new dog bite cases this year so far from Jan to Aug 20 with administration of 14,704 follow-up doses. Sources at the JPMC shared six of the eight cases involved Karachi’s residents. They were brought from Gulshan-i-Maymar, Lyari, SITE, Ali Muhammad Goth (Taiser Town), Ajmer Nagri and Korangi — indicating an acute lack of public awareness about the high mortality risk a dog bite posed. “It’s important that people know that they immediately seek medical attention and get appropriate post-exposure prophylaxis following a bite or even slight scratching by a dog or any potentially rabid animal,” Dr Siddiqui said. Officials at the Indus Hospital — currently serving as the Provincial Training Centre for the management of dog bite and rabies cases — shared that doctors provided consultation for the four cases reported at hospitals in Tando Allah Yar (one case), Shahdadpur (two cases,) and Hala (one case). Of these four cases, one was an adult male and three were children. On Thursday, a 30-year-old woman from Hyderabad reported at Indus Hospital with full-blown rabies. She is currently being provided with palliative care. Over 13,000 dog bite cases have been managed at the Indus Hospital this year so far. According to experts, making the right treatment available at hospitals and controlling the dog population humanely are critical steps to save lives. While dog bites account for the majority of rabies cases, bites from potentially rabid wild animals can also transmit the virus. Early wound cleansing, timely rabies vaccination and administration of rabies immunoglobulin, if needed, can effectively prevent the disease. Published in Dawn, August 22nd, 2026

Swiss ski resort bar fire victim tells harrowing tale

(ANSA) - ROME, AUG 25 - A 16-year-old boy who suffered serious burns in the New Year's Eve bar fire at the Swiss ski resort of Crans-Montana that killed 41 people including six Italian teens told his harrowing tale to ANSA Tuesday after being discharged from hospital after six and a half months. The boy, Leonardo Bove, said he had felt his life slipping away and did not want to lose it again. He said the French couple that owned the bar, Jacques and Jessica Moretti, should have to face up to their responsibilities for a tragedy that might have been averted if the bar's exits had not been locked and if better safety measures had been in place. "I don't think anything about the Morettis, they don't interest me, I'm only interested in my life. I saw it slip away one night and I don't want to lose it again," said Bove after being released from Milan's Niguarda Hospital. "I'm just saying they should take responsibility. They're a grown man and woman: they took responsibility for opening a club, they must also take responsibility for what happened," he explained. He said he would never return to Crans-Montana. "I don't want to go back, I want to erase it from my life." (ANSA). Read article...
