Quakes strike two hours apart early Saturday, both measuring magnitude 6.3. Two earthquakes of magnitude 6.3 hit southern Iran in the early hours of Saturday, with tremors felt from both in the UAE. The initial quake struck at 1.32am near Bandar Khamir at a depth of 10km, according to the UAE National Centre of Meteorology. The second earthquake hit at 3.24am.

Tremors were also felt in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, Pakistan and Afghanistan, according to social media users.

The main artery that cuts through Italy's heartland, where 30% of its food is produced, is the 650-kilometer-long (400-mile-long) River Po, which winds its way from the Alps to the Adriatic Sea on Italy's northeast coast. But a dry winter and spring mean this year it's in trouble. But in 2022, things are very different. An unusually dry winter meant snow melt was scarce and spring rains only sporadic, which has led to the worst drought in the northern regions of Italy in more than 70 years, a regional agency for the River Po confirmed. And that is a big problem for the millions of people who rely on the Po for their livelihoods. Salination from the Adriatic Sea has started turning its fresh water into unusable poison for crops. Recent samples show salt water more than 20 kilometers (12 miles) inland, and as the river drops lower, the sea will continue to fill the void. Massimiliano Fazzini, head of the Climate Risk Department of the Italian Society of Environmen...

Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab has admitted it will be a "challenge" for British nationals left in Afghanistan to now find a route to the UK. Speaking to Sky News, Mr Raab said the number of British nationals who had not been taken as part of the now-ended UK evacuation effort was in the "low hundreds".Acknowledging it was "unclear" when the airport in  Afghanistan 's capital Kabul would again be operating - following  this weekend's pullout of US and UK troops  - Mr Raab advised those still seeking to leave the country they could find a route to the UK via neighbouring countries.The foreign secretary said, since April, more than 17,000 British nationals, Afghans who worked with the UK, and other vulnerable people had been evacuated from the country.

The Uk has sanctioned Teodoro Obiang Mangue, the son of Equatorial Guinea's president for misappropriating millions of dollars spent on luxury mansions, private jets and a $275,000 glove worn by Michael Jackson. UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said Teodoro Obiang Mangue, who is also vice president of Equatorial Guinea, had participated in "corrupt contracting arrangements and soliciting bribes, to fund a lavish lifestyle inconsistent with his official salary as a government minister." In an unusual move, the UK said Obiang had bought a $100 million mansion in Paris, a $38 million private jet, a luxury yacht, and dozens of luxury vehicles including Ferraris, Bentleys and Aston Martins. and he also bought "a collection of Michael Jackson memorabilia including a $275,000 crystal-covered glove that the musician wore during his time. The UK said its sanctions against Obiang include freezing of assets and a travel ban.    Obiang's father President Teodoro...

For the first time researchers have used brain waves of a paralysed man who is unable to speak and have turned them into sentences on a computer screen. The study, which will require more years of research, marks a monumental step in allowing more natural communication for people who can't talk due to illness or injury. Dr Edward Chang, a neurosurgeon at University of California who led the work, said: “Most of us take for granted how easily we communicate through speech. "It’s exciting to think we’re at the very beginning of a new chapter, a new field” to ease the devastation of patients who lost that ability." Those who cannot speak or write due to paralysis currently have limited ways of communicating. The man in the experiment, who has not been identified for privacy reasons, usually uses a pointer attached to a hat that lets him move his head to touch words or letters on a screen. Other devices can pick up eye movements, but it can be a frustrating and slow substitut...

Italy have beaten England on penalties to win the European Championships in a nail-biting final at Wembley, after the game finished 1-1 following extra time. The Three Lions managed to score the fastest ever Euros final goal after Luke Shaw fired home off the back of a Kieran Trippier cross just before the second minute, beating Spain's sixth minute goal against the USSR in 1964.

Recovery workers battled poor weather Saturday as they continued to search for the victims of the Florida building collapse. The death toll rose to 86, Miami Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said at a press conference, announcing that six more bodies were found in the rubble overnight. So far, 62 victims have been identified, and 43 people are still missing. Poor weather was expected to continue Saturday as storms hovered off South Florida’s coast. The recovery effort was paused early Saturday, but resumed after gusty winds died down. Surfside Mayor Charles Burkett said the progress on the pile was “intense,” and the site may be cleared sooner than expected, though he didn’t have a projection for when the work would be finished. “Much of the original pile is now at ground level or below,” Burkett said.

A magnitude 6.2 earthquake struck central California on Thursday, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) said, adding the quake had a depth of 10 kilometres. More details soon.

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has urged President Muhamadu Buhari administration to make a conscientious effort to arrest bandits and Miyetti Allah militias terrorising the country, with the same vigour it went after separatist leader Nnamdi Kanu. Mr Wike noted that despite the differences Rivers government had with Mr Kanu, the rule of law and due process must be followed in his arrest and prosecution. The governor further urged the federal government to ensure all terrorists on its watchlist regardless of their ethnicity or religion are arrested and made to face the wrath of the law. “We must not make hullabaloo about the prosecution of Nnamdi Kanu. I don’t agree with his principle. I have come out and said you cannot annex my state to be your own. But that does not mean that you will not allow the law to take its course,” Mr Wike said while speaking during a live television interview. The Rivers State governor added, “You cannot say because Nnamdi Kanu is from a par...

Gunmen suspected to be bandits attacked the convoy of Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State on Tuesday night. At least three policemen sustained injuries in the attack which happened after the convoy was making its way to Kano from Zamfara State, where a mass All Progressives Congress (APC) rally held on Tuesday. Ganduje was among the governors, who visited Gusau, Zamfara capital, to welcome Governor Bello Matawalle and key Zamfara politicians who defected into the ruling party. Government House sources confirmed the attack but said Ganduje was not in the convoy when they encountered the gunmen. It was gathered that Ganduje joined the convoy of his Jigawa State Counterpart, Abubakar Badaru, after the mega rally in Gusau. “You know because the place was rowdy after the event which had many state governors in attendance, His Excellency, Gov Ganduje, joined his friend, Governor Badaru, and they both arrived in Kano hours before the Kano convoy arrived,” a government house official, who...

Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra ( IPOB ) has been arrested. He has been extradited to Nigeria to face trial. Abubakar Malami, attorney-general and minister of justice, confirmed the development at a press briefing on Tuesday. He said Kanu was “intercepted” on Sunday, but he did not disclose the location. Kanu is facing charges bordering on treasonable felony instituted against him at the federal high court in Abuja in response to years of campaign for the independent Republic of Biafra through IPOB. He was granted bail in April 2017 for health reasons but skipped bail after flouting some of the conditions given to him by the court.

MADRID, June 29 – The Spanish government on Tuesday approved the draft of a bill to allow anyone over the age of 14 to change gender legally without a medical diagnosis or  hormone therapy , the Equality Ministry said. The draft bill, which will go to a public hearing before another reading in the cabinet and a vote in the lower house of parliament, removes the requirement for two years of hormone therapy and a psychological assessment to switch gender in official records. “This is an historic day after more than 15 years without any legislative progress,” Equality Minister Irene Montero told a news conference. “We send a strong message for the protection of LGBTI people,” she said, referring to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex community.The “self-ID” draft bill sets age limits, with 14- to 16-year-olds needing parental approval, after parliament’s rejection in May of a proposal from a group of political parties to give children total freedom to lega...

Russia has downplayed claims from the Dutch authorities that there was "no justification whatsoever" for the "aggressive act". Dutch authorities say Russian fighter jets armed with air-to-surface missiles threatened one of their navy ships in the Black Sea. The Dutch Defence Ministry said  Russian  fighter jets repeatedly flew low over the ship and carried out "mock attacks" off the coast of Crimea last week. The Dutch ship Evertsen had been patrolling the area alongside HMS Defender. Russia said the British ship was  forced to flee  the area last week after their warships fired warning shots and a warplane dropped bombs. Britain has denied that account and insisted the ship wasn't fired upon. Dutch defence minister Ank Bijleveld-Schouten called the Russian actions against the Evertsen "irresponsible." "Evertsen has every right to sail there," she said. "There is no justification whatsoever for this kind of aggressi...

Britain's financial regulator has said Binance, one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges, cannot conduct any regulated activity and issued a warning to consumers about the platform, which is coming under growing scrutiny globally. In a notice dated June 25, the  Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) said Binance Markets Ltd, Binance's only regulated UK entity, "must not, without the prior written consent of the FCA, carry out any regulated activities... with immediate effect". It also issued a warning to consumers about Binance Markets and the wider Binance group. Binance said in a statement that Binance Markets, which it acquired in 2020, was not yet using its regulatory permissions, and that the FCA's move would not impact services offered on its Binance.com website. "We take a collaborative approach in working with regulators and we take our compliance obligations very seriously. We are actively keeping abreast of changing policies, rules and la...

In a letter to  Prime Minister Boris Johnson  he says the government "owe it to people who have sacrificed so much in this pandemic to be honest when we have let them down as I have done by breaching the guidance." In his letter of resignation, Mr Hancock said: “The last thing I would want is for my private life to distract attention from the single-minded focus that is leading us out of this crisis. “I want to reiterate my apology for breaking the guidance, and apologise to my family and loved ones for putting them through this. I also need (to) be with my children at this time.” Former Chancellor and Home Secretary Sajid Javid will replace Mr Hancock as Health Secretary, Downing Street has announced. In a tweet, Mr Javid said he is "honoured to have been asked to serve as Secretary of State for Health and Social Care at this critical time" and added he looks forward to "serving my country from the Cabinet once again."
