MANILA — At least 69 people have been killed and dozens injured after a powerful 6.9 magnitude earthquake struck the central Philippines late on Tuesday.The province of Cebu, which suffered the brunt of the damage, declared a state of calamity early on Wednesday, after thousands spent the night on the streets amid repeated aftershocks.One Cebu resident told the BBC he was among them, adding that power and water supplies were cut off.

6.9 magnitude earthquake kills dozens in central Philippines
MANILA — A powerful 6.9 magnitude earthquake struck the central Philippines late Tuesday, killing more than 60 people and raising fears of considerable destruction.The shallow earthquake struck around 10 p.m. local time, according to the US Geological Survey (USGS), just west of Palompon and close to the city of Bogo in Cebu province.A quake of this strength in the region could cause casualties and damage to poorly built structures, early survey models suggest.Cebu Governor Pam Baricuatro said in a post on Facebook that “a total of 27 individuals were reported dead and 143 others sustained various injuries” after the quake.Richard Gordon, chairman of the Philippine Red Cross, said in a telephone interview that at least 13 people, including three members of the Philippine Coast Guard...

Australia sunscreen scandal grows as more products pulled off shelves
SYDNEY — A sunscreen scandal in Australia is continuing to grow, with 18 products now pulled from shelves in the skin cancer hotspot over safety concerns.Analysis by a consumer advocacy group in June found several popular and expensive sunscreens did not provide the protection claimed by their makers.One product, Ultra Violette's Lean Screen Skinscreen, is supposed to offer a skin protection factor (SPF) of 50+ but instead returned a result of SPF 4 and was voluntarily recalled in August.An investigation by the medicines regulator has now warned about 20 more sunscreens from other brands, which share the same base formula, and raised "significant concerns" about a testing laboratory."The preliminary testing indicates that this base formulation is unlikely to have an...

An illegible prescription by an Indian doctor in Madhya Pradesh state last year went viral
Indian court tells doctors to fix their handwriting
DELHI — At a time when most people use keyboards to write, does handwriting really matter?Yes, say Indian courts, if the writer is a doctor.Jokes around the notoriously bad handwriting of many doctors that can only be deciphered by pharmacists are common in India, as around the world. But the latest order emphasising the importance of clear handwriting came recently from the Punjab and Haryana High Court which said that "legible medical prescription is a fundamental right" as it can make a difference between life and death.The court order came in a case that had nothing to do with the written word. It involved allegations of rape, cheating and forgery by a woman and Justice Jasgurpreet Singh Puri was hearing the man's petition for bail.The woman had alleged that the man had...

Afghanistan's main airport has come to a standstill
Flights in Afghanistan grounded after internet shutdown
KABUL — Afghanistan's main airport is at a standstill as the country grapples with the fallout of a nationwide internet shutdown imposed by the Taliban government.The Taliban has yet to give an official reason for the decision, which took effect on Monday, but did say it would last until further notice.Communication within Afghanistan, and out to the wider world, has been severely impacted, as have essential services — including banking and payments — and access to online education, a lifeline for many women and girls.The airport in the capital Kabul, meanwhile, was "nearly deserted", according to one resident, with no evidence of planes arriving or departing.Flight tracking service Flightradar24 showed that a handful of incoming and outgoing flights on Tuesday had been...

School collapses in Indonesia, killing at least three and burying dozens of students
JAKARTA — A building under construction at a school in Indonesia collapsed on Monday, killing at least three, injuring 101, some who are in critical condition, and burying dozens in the rubble.A rescue team worked through the night to rescue additional students feared to be trapped after the collapse at Al Khoziny Islamic Boarding School in the East Java town of Sidoarjo.

Mumbai's new airport faces traffic woes as it takes on Singapore and Dubai
MUMBAI — For a first-time visitor, landing in India's financial capital Mumbai can be quite an experience.At approach, as the flight cuts across the Arabian Sea and flies past the mangrove marshes, the great metropolis emerges — swarming with railway tracks, towering skyscrapers and the dense habitation of Asia's largest shantytown pressed tightly against the airport's periphery wall.For years, aviation experts have flagged the dangers and inefficiencies of operating an overworked airport right in the middle of such an urban setting, with buildings obstructing the flight path and safety and operational constraints preventing pilots from using the intersecting runways at once.But a long overdue alternative is finally on the horizon.After numerous delays and impediments, the...

Total internet blackout in Afghanistan as Taliban enforces morality measures
KABUL — Afghanistan has plunged into a nationwide internet blackout, with the Taliban cutting off more than 43 million citizens from global communications as part of what it has described as “morality measures.”Internet watchdog Netblocks said Monday in a post on X that multiple networks had been disconnected through the morning and that telephone services had also been impacted, resulting in what it said was a “total internet blackout.”The blackout marks one of the most extensive and coordinated telecom shutdowns in Afghanistan since the Taliban returned to power in 2021, raising fears of further isolation of the Afghan people from the outside world.The governor of northern Balkh province, Haji Zaid, said earlier this month that the Taliban’s supreme leader Mawlawi Haibatullah...
