There is vigorous pushback against Chinese ambassador Huang Xilian's crude remarks that officials, experts, and the public perceived to be veiled threats against overseas Filipino workers in Taiwan. Sen. Risa Hontiveros calls for the recall of Huang. These remarks follow the granting of four more bases for use by American forces in Cagayan and Palawan and coincidentally the holding of the biggest 'Balikatan' exercise, in Northern Luzon, as if the anticipated danger scenario emanates from the north.

Scientists have found a counterintuitive wrinkle in the way bacteria spread antibiotic-resistant genes through small circular pieces of DNA called plasmids . Plasmids, found in bacteria and some other microorganisms, are physically separate from chromosomal DNA and can replicate on their own. Bacteria can acquire plasmids from other bacterial cells or from viruses, and as plasmids build up, they give bacteria antibiotic resistance. But some plasmids are easier for bacteria to acquire than others.

Patients who quit smoking after undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for narrowed arteries have similar outcomes as non-smokers during four years of follow-up after the procedure, according to a large study published in the European Heart Journal [1] today (Wednesday). However, if they had been heavy, long-term smokers, no improvement was seen. The study of 74,471 patients who had a PCI between 2009 and 2016 is the first, large population-based study to examine the impact of smoking on cardiovascular outcomes, such as death, heart attacks, and strokes, since drug-eluting stents (DES) were first approved for use in PCIs in Europe in 2002 and in the USA in 2003.

Meg Lanning's Delhi Capitals team came up just short in an exciting final of the inaugural Women's Premier League with the Mumbai Indians claiming the crown on home turf. Despite Australia skipper Lanning again top-scoring for her team with 35, they stuttered to just 9-131 on Sunday, before Mumbai battled past the target on 3-134 for a hard-earned seven-wicket win with just three balls remaining. In front of Mumbai's blue-clad army of fans in their home Brabourne Stadium, it was an emotional evening for India captain Harmanpreet Kaur, as she led her side to victory over her old Aussie rival to cap an enthralling first edition of the game-changing women's league.

BANGKOK : Emerging Asian currencies fell on Monday, with the Indonesian rupiah declining the most, amid concerns about China's faltering economic growth ahead of key data, which could bolster hopes for more direct policy stimulus from Beijing. The rupiah, the best performing Asian currency so far this year, weakened as much as 0.8% against the greenback to hit its lowest level since March. Indonesia's central bank intervened in the spot foreign exchange and domestic non-deliverable forward markets to prevent high currency volatility, according to an official.
