BEIJING, Aug 26 — A mudslide originating in Nepal caused “major casualties” and left people missing today at a trade hub in Tibet near the countries’ shared Himalayan border, Chinese state media reported.

State broadcaster CCTV said the disaster struck Gyirong Port on the Chinese side of the border, but did not disclose the number of people killed, injured or missing.

Chinese President Xi Jinping ordered an “all-out” rescue operation, according to state news agency Xinhua.

“The most urgent task is doing everything possible to search for and rescue the missing people... quickly treat injured people and minimise casualties to the greatest extent possible,” CCTV quoted Xi as saying.

Sergey Lavrov personally greets Vatican Foreign Minister Paul Gallagher at the entrance of the Russian Foreign Ministry building

Vatican FM grabs his confidential file from his assistant and enters a private, closed-door meeting with Sergey Lavrov

The meeting between Archbishop Paul Gallagher (Vatican Secretary for Relations with States) and Sergey Lavrov took place today, August 25, 2026, in Moscow. It was followed by a joint press conference.

Gallagher called for an urgent end to the Ukraine war, noting each day creates more victims and hinders reconciliation, and that military means cannot resolve it. The Vatican offered space for dialogue and support. They agreed on humanitarian cooperation, including for children. Lavrov thanked the Vatican for its balanced stance, outlined Russia’s root-cause approach, and affirmed relations remain trusting, friendly and pragmatic.

Bill Gates warns AI doomsday scenario is coming, with bioterror pandemics and huge job losses but tech bosses are keeping quiet about it

Bill Gates has issued a stark warning about the global terror that artificial intelligence could soon unleash.

The billionaire Microsoft co-founder warned on Wednesday that AI could cost millions their jobs and help create a devastating 'bioterrorism weapon' capable of threatening humanity.

It is a scenario bosses of tech companies are intentionally hiding from the public, Mr Gates claimed.

In an essay, the former tech boss argued we have surpassed the warning signs, as AI continues to develop at an 'uncontrolled' rate.

'AI will either be the greatest equaliser ever invented, or the worst source of injustice,' Mr Gates said. 'Even under the best circumstances, the transition to this new AI era will be one of the most turbulent times in human history.'
One of the threats Mr Gates highlighted is the risk to global security. He said AI can already gather information needed to create bombs, bioweapons and computer viruses, and is increasingly capable of acting on that information itself.

Netanyahu Declares West Bank “Our Land”

The Israeli prime minister has vowed to annex more territory for Jewish immigrants

Israel will continue building illegal settlements in the West Bank in preparation for a “major” wave of Jewish immigration, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said. Israel’s most recent settlement expansion triggered rebukes from its Arab neighbors and Western partners.

“Today, many of our brothers and sisters around the world understand: This is our land and it will remain ours,” Netanyahu said in Jerusalem on Tuesday. “And when I say our land, every Jewish man and every Jewish woman, the door is open. We are waiting for you. We are preparing the door for major Aliyah (Jewish immigration to Israel).” 

Last week, Israel opened bidding for the construction of more than 1,200 homes in the E1 settlement project, located east of Jerusalem. Named after its designation on Israeli planning maps, the project will comprise more than 3,400 homes, and was green-lit by Netanyahu’s government last year.

The E1 plan will establish a land corridor between East Jerusalem and the existing settlement of Ma’ale Adumim, both of which are built on Palestinian land. It will also sever road links between the Palestinian cities of Ramallah and Bethlehem, located to the north and south of Jerusalem, respectively. 

Eight Arab and Muslim states, including Mecca Pact members Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Türkiye, “categorically” rejected the plan, describing it as “a dangerous escalation.”

The UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, European Commission, and 15 European states also condemned the project.

The E1 settlement will undermine the prospect of the two-state solution by driving a wedge through the West Bank,” they said in a statement last Thursday. “At a time of grave instability in the West Bank with unprecedented levels of violence by settlers against civilians, and serious restrictions on the Palestinian economy, this decision is even more concerning.”

Bryan Kohberger is granted NEW hearing in battle to withdraw guilty plea for murdering 4 Idaho students

Bryan Kohberger has been granted a new hearing date as he battles to withdraw his guilty plea for murdering four University of Idaho students.

The convicted killer, 31, will enter a courtroom again next June after he filed for post-conviction relief in Ada County District Court last month, claiming that he only accepted his plea deal because he was 'advised to lie' by his legal counsel.

He has been appointed a new defense attorney, Gregory Richard Rauch, and will have a status conference and evidentiary hearing next year, Judge Steven Hippler said.

If successful, the petition could allow him to withdraw his guilty plea and send the case back to trial, potentially putting the death penalty back on the table. 

His latest move came just days before a new three-part Netflix documentary series, The Idaho Murders: College Nightmare.

Here's how much you need to earn to afford a home in Salt Lake County

  • Homebuyers in Salt Lake County need $187,000 annual income for median-priced homes.
  • New home sales fell 10.5% from June to July due to affordability issues.
  • Experts urge policymakers to address high housing costs by building affordable starter units.

The study comes just weeks after new data showed the median sales price for a single-family home in Utah's most populous county hit a record-high $645,000 during the second quarter of 2026.

"What that translates to in income necessary is roughly $187,000 a year," Clewett said, "and that's county-wide."

When wildfire smoke and rain collide, it may fall as fertilizer, U. study finds

  • A University of Utah study finds wildfire smoke can fertilize ecosystems when mixed with rain.
  • The study shows smoke-rain events deliver significant nitrogen phosphorus and potassium to ecosystems.
  • Researchers emphasize understanding smoke's impact on ecosystems amid increasing wildfire frequency and intensity.

But what exactly is in the rain when it collides with wildfire smoke?

These types of events can cause "large bursts" of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium to tumble to the ground with the rain, potentially fertilizing land and water ecosystems, according to a new study led by the University of Utah.

Migrant boat smashes into girl, 17, leaving her for dead

Migrant boat smashes into girl, 17, leaving her with multiple fractures - then continues to Italian beach after men on board decide not to help her

A 17-year-old tourist has been left seriously injured after a speeding migrant boat ploughed into her while she was swimming off Sardinia's coast.

The small boat was carrying 14 migrants when it struck the girl around 200m off Su Giudeu Beach in Sardinia, Italy, on August 16.

The vessel appears to continue towards the coast after crashing into the teenager rather than stopping to help her. 

The teenager, who was on holiday on the island and has not been named, suffered several fractures in the horrific collision, which was captured on video. She also lost consciousness, leaving her at risk of drowning in the water.

Beachgoers rushed to her aid before she was airlifted to a hospital in nearby Cagliari, where she was admitted to intensive care in a serious condition.

The 'invincible' Burevestnik missile - with a nickname inspired by the nuclear catastrophe that could be inflicted, much like the Chernobyl power plant explosion in 1986 - carries a nuclear warhead with an 'unlimited range' and is designed to fly for days at a time before striking the West, according to the Russians.

KSL Comments - There's an argument to be made the Ring cameras are way worse and you don't see people ripping those down.

16 Facts About The Shocking Decline Of Public Education In The U.S. That Every American Should Know

Virtually everyone agrees that our public schools are in a state of decline. Needless to say, it isn’t because we aren’t spending enough money. The federal government, our state governments and our local governments are collectively spending nearly a trillion dollars a year on public education. That is a colossal pile of money. Since 1960, spending per student has increased by 350 percent. That is even after adjusting for inflation. At this stage, we spend more money per student than any other nation on the entire planet other than Luxembourg. Anyone that believes that we can solve our education crisis by spending even more money is simply being delusional.

For nearly a trillion dollars a year, we should be getting a world class education system.

But we aren’t.

In fact, students in the U.S. just keep dropping down the global rankings.

Has World War III Already Started?

Shortly after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, I wrote a column under the headline “This Is How World War III Begins.” More than four years on, I wonder how much I got right.
