(Reuters) – Record flooding struck Alaska's capital city on Saturday after a glacial dam outburst, destroying at least one structure and prompting city officials to issue evacuation orders for residents on one street. The National Weather Service (NWS) received reports of large trees collapsing into the Mendenhall River near Juneau on Saturday night as water levels rose, eroding the banks. Glacial outburst flooding happens when trapped water escapes through cracks in thinning ice dams, a phenomenon that has increased around the world as a result of climate change.

Cristiano Ronaldo's first season in Saudi Arabia ended with a whimper, but with hundreds of millions in wages and unprecedented attention on Saudi football he may not be the last megastar to grace the oil-rich kingdom. The fireworks and euphoria that greeted Ronaldo's gala unveiling in January were in sharp contrast to the close of Al Nassr's season, when the Portuguese sat out a 3-0 win against Al Fateh late on Wednesday. Despite signing the five-time Ballon d'Or-winner in a two-and-a-half-year deal said to total 400 million euros ($428 million), Al Nassr finished second in the Saudi Pro League without any silverware, although they qualified for the Asian Champions League as a consolation.

CEBU City, Philippines— Women, who were born male but identify as female, have been breaking barriers and challenging traditional beauty standards today. As they have often been excluded from mainstream beauty pageants and other similar competitions, a shift towards greater inclusivity and acceptance of diversity is now a growing trend. In 2012, the Miss Universe Organization made a groundbreaking announcement that it would allow transgender women to compete in its pageants. The decision to open its doors to all women, regardless of their gender identity, marked a significant moment in the pageant's history, and sparked a conversation about inclusivity and representation in the beauty industry.
