A statement on Saturday by the Ukrainian nuclear agency Energoatom said Russia has detained the chief of the nuclear power facility in Zaporizhzhia, which is in control of Moscow since it captured the region.&nbsp;

Europe's largest nuclear power station, Zaporizhzhia, has been the focal point of tensions in recent weeks as Moscow and Kyiv accused each other of conducting strikes on or around the plant, sparking worries of a nuclear catastrophe.

In a statement posted on social media, Energoatom CEO Petro Kotin said, Ihor Murashov was stopped by a "Russian patrol" on Friday at around 16:00 local time (1300 GMT) as he travelled from the facility to the Moscow-controlled city of Energodar.

He said that once Murashov's automobile was halted, he was dragged out and "with his eyes blindfolded, he was driven in an unknown direction."&nbsp;

At the Zaporizhzhia facility, Murashov "bears the main and exclusive responsibility for the nuclear and radiation safety," Kotin continued.&nbsp;

The nuclear facility is situated in the Zaporizhzhia region of Ukraine, which Russia annexed on Friday along with Ukrainian regions of Donetsk, Lugansk, and Kherson.

Shelling near the facility has prompted demands for demilitarising the region around nuclear facilities in Ukraine from Kyiv and its Western supporters.&nbsp;

Early in September, a monitoring team from the IAEA went to Zaporizhzhia.

Chief of Ukraine's Moscow-held nuclear power plant detained by Russia: Report

According to the International Olympic Committee (IOC)&nbsp;President Thomas Bach on Friday, IOC&nbsp;is thinking about allowing Russian athletes who oppose their nation's invasion of Ukraine to compete again.&nbsp;

In February, the IOC instructed sports governing organisations to exclude Russian and Belarusian competitors from competing. Russia's invasion, which Moscow refers to as a "special military operation," was staged in Belarus.&nbsp;

"It is not about necessarily having Russia back. It's about having athletes with a Russian passport who do not support the war back in competition," Bach told Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera.

"Here comes our dilemma – this war has not been started by the Russian athletes. But we saw that some governments did not want to respect anymore the autonomy of international sports... This is why we've had to take these protective measures to be at least still a little bit in the driving seat and not lose all autonomy. And this is why, on the other hand, we also have to see, and to study, to monitor, how and when we can come back to accomplish our mission to have everybody back again, under which format whatsoever," he added.

The German emphasised that the existing advice for Russian athletes remained valid, but he also said that the IOC needed to consider the future. Olympic qualifying competitions for the 2024 Summer Games in Paris have already begun.&nbsp;

"There is no change in the recommendations... We are very grateful to the International Federations that they are following them," Bach added.

"The Olympic Movement has as a mission to contribute to peace, so we have to see how we can contribute to peace.&nbsp;I think our major contribution is to have the Olympic Games and to have a sport in general, as something that still unifies people and humanity," he continued.

Russian athletes not supporting Ukraine invasion could return to competing: IOC President

Following a suicide bombing that left several dead, largely young Hazara women, in Kabul on Friday, dozens of women from the minority ethnic group protested in the Afghan capital on Saturday.&nbsp;

In the Dasht-e-Barchi neighbourhood of Kabul, a bomber detonated himself on Friday during a test-taking session for students preparing for university entrance examinations.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, the United Nations increased the death toll to 35 on Saturday.

"The latest casualty figures from the attack number at least 35 fatalities, with an additional 82 wounded," the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) said in a statement.

The minority Hazara population lives in the western neighbourhood, a largely Shiite Muslim enclave, and is a historically persecuted group that has recently been the subject of some of Afghanistan's most violent atrocities.

About 50 women marched past&nbsp;a hospital in Dasht-e-Barchi on Saturday while chanting, "Stop Hazara genocide, it's not a crime to be a Shiite." Several assault victims were being treated there.&nbsp;

An AFP journalist stated that angry protesters carrying "Stop killing Hazaras" placards were dressed in black hijabs and headscarves.&nbsp;

According to eyewitnesses, the suicide attacker triggered the blast in the women's area of the gender-segregated auditorium.

Later, a crowd of protesters assembled in front of the hospital and screamed slogans under the watchful eye of dozens of Taliban who were highly armed and some of them had rocket-propelled grenade launchers.

Women's protests have become dangerous since the hardline Taliban seized control again in August of last year, with many protesters being jailed and gatherings being dispersed by Taliban soldiers firing rounds in the air.&nbsp;

The incident at the Kaaj Higher Educational Centre on Friday has not yet been linked to any particular organisation.

Hazara women protest against 'genocide' after Kabul suicide bombing toll rises to 35

A United States navy sailor accused of deliberately starting a fire that destroyed a billion-dollar vessel and wounded several crew members was cleared by a military court judge on Friday.&nbsp;

Military prosecutors said during a nine-day trial at Naval Base San Diego in California that Ryan Mays, then 21 years old, deliberately set the USS Bonhomme Richard on fire in the summer of 2020 because he was angry over quitting his Navy Seal training.&nbsp;

The prosecution's case was based on an eyewitness whose account changed numerous times and who admitted to feeling "pressured" by authorities when he named Mays as the primary suspect, the defence team countered. According to the San Diego television news station KFMB, there was no physical evidence connecting Mays to the fire.

The accusations of arson and wilful hazarding of a vessel that the prosecution had brought against Mays were not sufficiently supported by hard evidence, according to military judge Derek Butler, who agreed with the defence.&nbsp;

If found guilty, Mays faced a potential sentence of life in prison.&nbsp;

The lower vehicle deck of the amphibious assault ship Bonhomme Richard caught fire on July 12, 2020, in San Diego Bay. Within two hours, the fire had grown out of control. More than 60 sailors and civilians suffered from heat exhaustion, smoke inhalation, and other minor ailments while it burned for over five days.

The Bonhomme Richard, a $1.2 billion ship, suffered substantial structural, electrical, and mechanical damage as a result of the fire, making it the worst non-combat US Navy warship fire that many people could recall.&nbsp;

On the morning of the fire, the suspect was allegedly observed "sprinting" from the lower car level. But when the second sailor was released from the navy, the inquiry into him came to an end because the military branch no longer had authority over him and he was disqualified as a suspect, according to KFMB.

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, said on Friday that the much-awaited humanoid robot 'Optimus' will cost around $20,000 but cautioned that it was still far from being completely functioning.&nbsp;

At Tesla's "AI Day" event, which was hosted at a Tesla headquarters in Palo Alto, California, Musk said that Optimus still needs a lot of work to be refined and proven.&nbsp;

Existing humanoid robots, according to Musk, are "missing a brain" and the capacity to come up with solutions on their own. In contrast, he asserted, Tesla will aspire to build millions of Optimus, a "extremely capable robot." He stated that he thought it would only cost around $20,000.

In February, Tesla claimed to have created a robot prototype. On Friday, that first prototype emerged to greet the gathering, and Tesla played a video of it performing easy jobs like watering plants, moving boxes, and lifting metal bars at a production station at the company's California facility.&nbsp;

Musk and Tesla officials agreed that there was still a lot of work to be done in order to build a low-cost, mass-produced robot that could take the place of people in the workplace.&nbsp;

Other automakers have created humanoid robot prototypes that are capable of complex tasks like shooting a basketball, including Toyota Motor and Honda Motor. Production robots from ABB and other manufacturers are a staple of the car industry.

Earthquake of magnitude 5.8 strikes Indonesia's Sumatra, one killed

A&nbsp;woman was detained by Iranian security officials after a picture of her and another woman eating at a restaurant in Tehran without wearing headscarves went viral online, as per her family. The image, which surfaced on Wednesday, depicts the two ladies enjoying breakfast at a café that, like the majority of coffee shops in Iran, is typically frequented by men.&nbsp;

Donya Rad, one of the ladies in the picture, was taken into custody not long after it was posted online. According to her sister, who spoke with CNN, security services called Donya and asked her to appear in person to defend her acts.

According to her sister,&nbsp;"After visiting the designated place, she was arrested, after a few hours of no news, Donya told me in a short call that she was transferred to Ward 209 of Evin Prison." The dictatorship imprisons political dissidents in Tehran's infamously harsh Evin Prison, which is only intended for inmates under the control of Iran's intelligence ministry.&nbsp;

Security authorities are said to have recently imprisoned numerous prominent Iranians, including Faezeh Rafsanjani, the daughter of former Iranian President Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, writer&nbsp;and poet&nbsp;Mona Borzouei and Hossein Mahini, who plays football for Iran.

Ali Karimi, a former football player, was shown with well-known Iranian artists and actresses who have been outspoken in their support for the demonstrations on the front cover of the state-aligned newspaper Hamshahri daily on Thursday. The title read, "Celebrities of Disturbance." They are cited in the article as "one of the main reasons for recent popular protest."&nbsp;

After nearly two weeks of protests, the government crackdown has persisted, resulting in confrontations between security forces in which many have died. According to an estimate by Iran Human Rights, protests that followed Mahsa Amini's custodial death resulted in at least 83 deaths, including children.

According to state news agency IRNA, more than a thousand persons involved in the protests have been arrested as of last weekend. The Committee to Protect Journalists estimates that as of Thursday, at least 28 journalists have been detained.&nbsp;

In a statement released on Thursday, Amnesty International stated that they are "investigating the authorities' mass arrests of protesters and bystanders, as well as journalists, political activists, lawyers, and human rights defenders, including women's rights activists and those belonging to oppressed ethnic minority groups."

A fresh cache of texts between Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal has recently been made public.

In the texts, Musk told Agrawal that he does not want to be a boss, to which Agrawal responded by saying, "Treat me like an engineer instead of a CEO."&nbsp;

The conversation, as reported by Tech Crunch revealed Musk telling Agrawal, "Frankly, I hate doing mgmt stuff. I kinda don't think I should be the boss of anyone. But I love helping solve technical/product design problems."&nbsp;

Agrawal replied by saying that he does not want to be treated like a CEO either.

Musk said that while he has many ideas, "I just want Twitter to be maximum amazing".

"I would like to understand the technical details of the Twitter codebase. This will help me calibrate the dumbness of my suggestions," he wrote to Agrawal.

"I used to be CTO and have been in our codebase for a long time. So I can answer many, many of your questions," Agrawal replied.

Agrawal took a dig at Musk by saying that he is free to tweet "Is Twitter dying?" or anything else about Twitter, and continued by saying, "but it's my responsibility to tell you that it's not helping me make Twitter better in the current context".

"Next time we speak, I'd like to provide you with a perspective on the level of internal distraction right now and how it is hurting our ability to do work. I would like the company to get to a place where we are more resilient and don't get distracted, but we aren't there right now," a defiant Agrawal told the Tesla CEO.

Musk and Agarwal's conversation with Jack Dorsey, the co-founder and former CEO of Twitter, is also out in the public domain.

On April 26, Dorsey, Musk, and Agrawal participated in a Google Hangout to talk about the acquisition, and their disagreements could be seen in the talks.&nbsp;

"At least it became clear that you can't work together. That was clarifying," Dorsey apparently said.

The conversations were disclosed at a time when Musk and Twitter are involved in a contentious legal dispute that will start on October 17 in the Delaware Court of Chancery in the United States.

On Friday, Russian President Vladimir Putin charged the West with orchestrating explosions that caused several gas leaks in the Nord Stream gas pipelines connecting Russia to Europe.&nbsp;

"Sanctions are not enough for the West, they have switched to sabotage. Unbelievable, but it is a fact!," Putin stated during a live speech at a Kremlin ceremony to annex four areas of Ukraine that are now under Russian control.

"By organising explosions on the Nord Stream international gas pipelines that run along the bottom of the Baltic Sea they actually started destroying European energy infrastructure," Putin said.

"It is clear to everyone who benefits from this," Putin added, without providing further details.

On the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines on Monday, two explosions were followed by unexplained gas leaks.&nbsp;

According to a Danish-Swedish investigation released on Friday, the four breaches impacting the Nord Stream gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea were brought on by underwater explosions equivalent to hundreds of kilogrammes of explosives.&nbsp;

The two nations stated in a joint report to the UN Security Council that "the size of the explosions was measured at 2.3 and 2.1 on the Richter Scale, respectively, possibly equal to an explosive load of several hundred kilogrammes."&nbsp;

Later on Friday, the Security Council is scheduled to convene an emergency session to discuss the leaks at Russia's request.

Despite Moscow and Washington's denials of guilt, the origin of the explosions remains a mystery.&nbsp;

According to the Scandinavian nations, "The possible impact on maritime life in the Baltic Sea is of concern, and the climate effect would likely be very substantial."

All of the leaks, which were found on Monday, are near the Danish island of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea.

Putin blames West for Nord Stream blasts measuring 2.3 and 2.1 on Richter scale

An attempt by New Zealand to stop the spread of hepatitis C has run into trouble because one of their commercials, which showed individuals giving the middle finger, was considered to be too inflammatory.&nbsp;

Ayesha Verrall, the assistant health minister, launched the "Stick it to Hep C" campaign in July to increase public awareness of the infection, which claims the lives of about 200 New Zealanders annually.&nbsp;

The advertising campaign included performers giving the other person the middle finger while grinning in films, outdoor posters, and web content. The advertisement next shows an actor having a blood test done on his middle finger to see if he has the blood-borne virus.

But despite a complaint that the advertisement picture was "deeply offensive," the Advertising Standards Authority supported the claim.&nbsp;

“The gesture is long established as ‘sign language’ for a series of very rude words, in short, “F*%$ You!”,” the complainant said. “It has no place on a billboard nor where it can be seen by children.”

While the complaints board acknowledged that viewers of the advertisement were likely to comprehend that there is "an easy finger prick test to determine if you have been exposed to hepatitis C and a new effective treatment, meaning you can say 'Fuck you' to hep C," most viewers were "likely to only focus on the hand gesture," so the context would be lost for them.

The gesture was “one of the most offensive gestures you can give to another person and always has negative connotations”, the board said, disagreeing with the advertiser that the smiling faces of the characters mitigated any aggressive intent.

It concurred that the advertising violated standards and made an inappropriate and insulting hand motion.&nbsp;

Nick Chamberlain, the national head of the Public Health Service, told the NZ Herald that the choice was "regrettable."

“We had no intention of causing serious or widespread offence with our choice of campaign imagery and it is regrettable that the ASA considers we didn’t get the balance right on this occasion.”

The middle finger graphic has been swapped out with a double thumbs up in the primary campaign image, although the YouTube clip and the website for the ad still use the middle finger image.
