Air Quality Of Kathmandu Dips Further As Toxic Smog Shrouds Atmosphere
A thick layer of polluted smog covers the atmosphere of Kathmandu, Nepal, on April 4, 2025, with a drop in AQI of the bowl-shaped valley. Nepal's Ministry of Health and Population urges people to take precautions as air pollution levels remain unhealthy throughout the week. The health ministry issues a statement stating that Nepal is recently listed among the most polluted countries according to the Air Quality Index (AQI). With Kathmandu's AQI level reaching 348, categorized as 'hazardous,' the MoHP advises children, the elderly, pregnant women, and those with chronic illnesses to be especially cautious. The MoHP recommends staying indoors unless necessary, wearing masks during travel, and avoiding highly polluted areas. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto) -

Will Salter is a surfer in his 50s who had an incredible great white shark encounter in 2010. Will is part of a feature about people who've had a scare doing something they love, and how they've overcome this moment to "get back on the horse" in some way. Flinders, Victoria, Australia.

Un robot à roues équipé d'une intelligence artificielle prêt à accomplir des tâches dangereuses
Picture MUST credit: RoboForce A heavy duty AI-equipped robot designed to fill labour shortages and work in harsh outdoor conditions and hazardous tasks is set to be deployed this year. The heavy, all-terrain wheeled RF-04 has been created by US startup RoboForce which recently got $10 million funding. The US company says the robot, equipped with two manipulating arms, is capable of 1 mm-level accuracy in performing fine motor skills like picking, placing, pressing, twisting, and connecting. It is also said to offer all-terrain mobility, learning, communication, and safety compliance capabilities. The bot is able communicate, follow safety rules, and learn with its self-evolving spatial artificial intelligence copilot system, The company said it aims to begin deploying its system this year with early customers. Californian RoboForce’s target industries include solar power installations, space, manufacturing, and mining. These are sectors the U.S. Bureau of Labor said are among the most impacted by injuries and loss of labor partly because of high summer temperatures and “other work-related hazards.” Picture supplied by JLPPA

Icelandic surfers fear port development will ruin 'perfect point break'
Volcanoes, northern lights and midnight sun are all on offer at this haven, which locals want to preserve.
Despite air and water temperatures in the single digits, two surfers and a couple of seals delight in the conditions at Þorlákshöfn in south-west Iceland.
This spot, where surfers can enjoy either the midnight sun or the northern lights depending on the time of year, has in recent years become the heart of Iceland's rapidly growing surfing community.
As well as being one of Iceland's only accessible point breaks (when wave swell strikes a point of land), it boasts unique scenery - the backdrop features several volcanoes - and consistently good waves. With its close proximity to Reykjavík, it has become a destination for locals, professionals and tourists alike.

Icelandic surfers fear port development will ruin 'perfect point break'
Volcanoes, northern lights and midnight sun are all on offer at this haven, which locals want to preserve.
Despite air and water temperatures in the single digits, two surfers and a couple of seals delight in the conditions at Þorlákshöfn in south-west Iceland.
This spot, where surfers can enjoy either the midnight sun or the northern lights depending on the time of year, has in recent years become the heart of Iceland's rapidly growing surfing community.
As well as being one of Iceland's only accessible point breaks (when wave swell strikes a point of land), it boasts unique scenery - the backdrop features several volcanoes - and consistently good waves. With its close proximity to Reykjavík, it has become a destination for locals, professionals and tourists alike.

'Who'd have thought it?': north Devon named UK's first world surfing reserve
Eighteen miles of coastline win formal protection, joining 11 sites globally including Malibu and Santa Cruz.
Life could get even busier at Croyde and neighbouring beaches after next weekend, when 18 miles of the coastline are formally designated a world surfing reserve, joining 11 other stretches of coast, including Malibu and Santa Cruz in California, Punta de Lobos in Chile and Noosa in Australia.
It is the first place in the UK to achieve the designation, and champions of the project hope it will help protect the waves for future generations.
There is much more to do. Claire Moodie, the head of Plastic Free North Devon, which has a place on the reserve's local stewardship council, said beaches here, as in many parts of the UK, were blighted by sewage and microplastics. "Having that international designation proves how important this place is," she said. "It gives us more weight."

At the Museum of British Surfing in Braunton, Kevin "Cookie" Cook, the chair of the trustees, said north Devon should be proud to be taking its place on the world stage. "We stand alongside anywhere in the world - Malibu, Noosa, wherever. North Devon is our own little piece of heaven and we have to do our damndest to ensure what we've been so fortunate to enjoy is there for future generations - waves for all, for ever."
