Evidence suggests this month's destruction of the huge Kakhovka dam in a Russian-controlled area of Ukraine resulted from an inside explosion set off by Russia, the New York Times said. Citing engineers and explosive experts, the newspaper said on Friday that its investigation found evidence suggesting an explosive charge in a passageway running through the dam's concrete base detonated, destroying the structure on June 6. 'The evidence clearly suggests the dam was crippled by an explosion set off by the side that controls it: Russia,' the Times said.

The Health Protection Notification Regulations 2010 (HPNR) help us respond promptly to suspected cases of infectious disease that could have an impact on public health. The Covid pandemic shone a light on the fundamental role of surveillance in supporting an effective public health response. Schedule 1 of the HPNR lists "notifiable diseases", with organisms that could lead to the development of a specific infectious disease - known as "causative agents" - listed under schedule 2. Registered medical practitioners in England are required to notify the relevant local authority or local health protection team if they treat a patient they know or suspect to have a notifiable disease.

Space company Rocket Lab will launch Nasa's cyclone-tracking TROPICS satellite constellation from Mahia next month. The TROPICS constellation (Time-Resolved Observations of Precipitation Structure and Storm Intensity with a Constellation of Small Sats) will monitor the formation and evolution of tropical cyclones, including hurricanes, and will provide rapidly updating observations of storm intensity. The data will help scientists better understand the processes that effect these high-impact storms, ultimately leading to improved modelling and prediction.

Vice President Sara Duterte—NIÑO JESUS ORBETA MANILA, Philippines — The House appropriations committee cut short an attempt by opposition lawmakers to question the Office of the Vice President (OVP) on how it spent P125 million of its confidential funds in 2022 as the panel swiftly closed Wednesday's budget briefing in deference to Vice President Sara Duterte. Ilocos Norte Rep. Ferdinand Alexander Marcos, son of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and nephew of Speaker Martin Romualdez, invoked the 'long-standing tradition of giving the OVP parliamentary courtesy' in calling for the conclusion of the hearing, preventing the Makabayan bloc from confronting Duterte on the OVP's secret expenses.
