Ukraine's Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) has completed drilling of ten groundwater wells, bringing the plant close to having a longer-term solution for the provision of cooling water to the shutdown reactors after the destruction of the Kakhovka dam in June, Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said today. Over 200 cubic meters of water can now be supplied to the sprinkler ponds that cool the ZNPP's six reactors and spent fuel. The IAEA has been informed that the site intends to drill an additional well bringing the total to 11 wells which is hoped to provide the approximately 250 cubic metres of water per hour to maintain the cooling of the reactors and spent fuel pools in the current shutdown state.

MANILA, Philippines–Fran Yu is hoping that his stint with NorthPort in the PBA On Tour would provide valuable experience before throwing his name in the big league's Rookie Draft in September. The former Letran star was one of a few non-PBA players who were signed to take part in the two-exhibition series which would give Fran an early look of what's in store moving forward. 'That's why I wanted to play [in the PBA On Tour] because of the chance to make myself ready once I enter the PBA,' Yu said in Filipino after NorthPort's 97-89 loss to Meralco on Wednesday at Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig City.

I have witnessed the dead alive and well through a glimpse of the past. About a month ago, my mother told me about her plans to restore her and my father's wedding video, encased in a dusty VHS tape case that was unearthed by one of her recent, impulsive cleaning sessions at the house. When I first heard about it, I shrugged it off as one of those classic Estrella quips of planning to do something but never actually doing it—an out-of-the-country trip, a solo room, a restored VHS video—I don't think I'll hear about it again.

ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — If you listen to the African leaders addressing the U.N. General Assembly this year, the message is emphatic and unanimous: The continent is done being a victim of a post-World War II order. It is a global power in itself and must be partnered with — not sidelined. Most of Africa has logged a lifetime of independence — roughly 60 years — and the continent of more than 1.3 billion people is more conscious of the challenges stifling its development. There's also a new boldness that comes with the African Union's G20 seat.

The US State Department warned Thursday, May 25, that China was capable of launching cyber attacks against critical infrastructure, including oil and gas pipelines and rail systems, after researchers discovered a Chinese hacking group had been spying on such networks. A multi-nation alert issued Wednesday revealed the Chinese cyber-espionage campaign had been aimed at military and government targets in the United States. The Chinese government has rejected assertions that its spies are going after Western targets, calling the joint warning issued by the United States and its allies a 'collective disinformation campaign.

Barcelona, Spain: If doctors in hospital emergency departments are trained to carry out ultrasound on patients with suspected deep vein thrombosis (DVT), they can nearly halve the time the patients spend in these departments. Dr Ossi Hannula, an emergency medicine specialist at the Wellbeing Services County of Central Finland, Jyväskylä, Finland, who presented the findings at the European Emergency Medicine Congress today (Monday), said his findings could help to reduce overcrowding in emergency departments and improve death rates by enabling patients at greatest risk of dying, usually from non-DVT-related problems, to be treated more quickly by emergency staff.
