The University of Connecticut Huskies overpowered the San Diego State Aztecs 76-59 to win the men's US NCAA collegiate basketball crown for the fifth time on Monday.

Sanogo was named the tournament's outstanding player after the win. Jubilant Huskies head coach Dan Hurley said his team had played with a point to prove after starting the college season without a ranking.

MANILA -Fitch Ratings has revised the outlook on the Philippine national government's credit rating as a borrower in foreign currencies to 'stable' from 'negative,' and kept it the investment-grade level of 'BBB.' The global credit watchdog said the revision of the outlook to stable reflected its improved confidence that the Philippines is returning to strong medium-term growth after the Covid-19 pandemic, supporting sustained reductions in the ratio of the government debt-to-gross domestic product which has risen substantially in the past few years.

TOKYO: Japan began releasing a second batch of treated wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear plant on Thursday, its operator said. The water discharge began at 10:18 am (0118 GMT), a TEPCO spokesman told AFP. It follows the first discharge on August 24, when Japan began releasing some of the 1.34 million tonnes of wastewater built up since a tsunami struck the facility in 2011. While Japan has insisted the treated water poses no health risks - a view backed by the UN's nuclear watchdog - China has repeatedly criticised the release and banned all Japanese seafood imports.
