International Atomic Energy Agency chief Rafael Grossi announced on Monday that he will be visiting the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant “later this week” in order to examine the damages sustained due to the ongoing conflict. “The day has come, IAEA’s Support and Assistance Mission to Zaporizhzhia is now on its way,” Grossi tweeted, saying that he will be accompanied by his team.

The conflict between Russian and Ukrainian forces near the nuclear plant has given rise to fears of a potential radiation leak. In the last few days, both sides have accused each other of shelling in the nearby areas and the IAEA also expressed their concern about the impacts of the continued fighting.

The United Nations and the IAEA both urged the parties to not engage in shelling near the plant due to safety reasons but Ukrainian foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba denied any change in stance from Russia. "Russian military must get out of the plant," he said on Twitter.

The situation at the power plant is a complex one at present as although it is operated by a Ukrainian crew, the control remains with Russian military who took over the facility in March.

Musk himself has said a number of times that doesn't "even own a home" and when the situation arises, he stays "at friend's places". He is also known to spend a number of nights in the office during launches and in 2020, he even said that he will end up selling all his properties around the world.

'Can't have a fancy house...': Why Elon Musk makes his mother sleep in garage when she visits him

Venezuela and Colombia restored full diplomatic relations Sunday after a three-year break, as a new leftist government in Bogota takes shape.

A new Colombian ambassador, Armando Benedetti, arrived in Caracas and said on Twitter: "Relations with Venezuela should never have been severed. We are brothers and an imaginary line cannot separate us."

He was welcomed by deputy foreign minister Rander Pena Ramirez, who tweeted that "our historical ties summon us to work together for the happiness of our peoples."

Colombia's new leftist president, Gustavo Petro, and Venezuela's socialist president Nicolas Maduro announced on August 11 that they planned to restore diplomatic relations that were severed in 2019.

That rupture was the culmination of years of tension between leftist Venezuela and Colombia under successive conservative presidents, starting with Alvaro Uribe.

Embassies and consulates in both countries were closed, and flights between the neighbors grounded.

Even the 2,000-kilometer (1,200-mile) land border between the two countries was closed between 2019 and October 2021, when it was opened to pedestrians only.

Petro is Colombia's first leftist president.

The last president in Colombia, Ivan Duque, did not recognize Maduro as president -- but rather opposition leader Juan Guaido.

Colombia was one of around 60 countries to do so, having rejected Venezuela's 2018 presidential election, which was boycotted by the opposition.

In addition to exchanging ambassadors, the normalization process will include the full reopening of the border, which has remained largely closed to vehicles.

The porous frontier has been the scene of clashes between armed groups.

Caracas and Bogota have also announced intentions to restore military relations.

Benedetti said more than eight million Colombians make a living from trade with Venezuela, which is why one of the objectives is to re-establish trade relations between the two countries.

A similar expectation exists on the Venezuelan side, where industrialists want to normalize the trade that reached $7.2 billion in 2008 but collapsed with the border closure.

Pakistan has been experiencing one of the worst floods in recent history and according to The News International, it has affected more than 5.7 million people in the country. The unprecedented levels of rainfall in the country have left a number of provinces submerged and in the last few days, the floods have caused massive damage to both lives and infrastructure all around Pakistan.

&nbsp;The death toll has already crossed 1000, according to the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), and around 1500 people were injured since July 14. Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit Baltistan and Sindh were the worst affected provinces with the highest number of deaths.

The News International further said that the floods have also killed around 719,558 livestock and has destroyed 949,858 homes in the past few days leaving millions of people without any shelter.

The NDMA has attributed this disaster to record amounts of rainfall that the country received this year – an increase of almost 190 per cent in comparison to the average. The situation even forced the government to declare it a “national emergency” and the army was deployed in affected areas.

The army has been leading rescue operations around Pakistan with many areas still under water and the authorities have even asked for donations from around the world to improve the situation.

While the rains did stop for a bit, the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) Flood Forecasting Division (FFD) has once again issued a warning for Nowshera and other nearby areas. They said that the river Kabul is expected to overflow causing more damage in the area.

Indonesia’s Sumatra Island experienced an earthquake of 6.1 magnitude on Monday – the third tremor that affected the area since morning, according to the meteorology and geophysics agency.

According to the official statement released by the agency, there was no tsunami warning issued by the authorities but they said that the tremors affected Mentawai islands, off Sumatra's west coast.

Although they first recorded the magnitude to be 6.4, it was later corrected to 6.1.

This was the strongest among the three earthquakes that rocked in the area with the previous ones recording 5.2 and 5.4 magnitudes on the Richter Scale. According to Reuters, it did not cause much damage to the infrastructure in the region but the vibrations were felt by the people living “in the Mentawai islands, in the provincial capital of Padang, and in the surrounding area of Bukitinggi”.

There were some reports of damages in Siberut island and in Novriadi, there were reports of evacuation. A local official told Reuters that they held evacuation drives in a number of islands in the area but that is mainly due to precaution and past experiences in the region.

The region is part of the “Pacific Ring of Fire” which is prone to devastating earthquakes and natural disasters due to the collision of various tectonic plates. Over the years, Indonesia has seen a number of big natural disasters and in 2009, Padang experienced an earthquake of 7.6 magnitude.

It was one of the worst earthquakes to hit the region and it ended up claiming over 1100 lives.

An unidentified indigenous man, who was thought to be the last member of his tribe in the Amazon, passed away and his death has resulted in a lot of discussion among activists. A number of people who work towards the conservation of arts and languages lamented the loss of an entire line of Brazilian Amazon tribes and contemplated the impact that this loss will have on overall culture.

According to The Guardian, the indigenous man was known as Índio do Buraco, or the “Indigenous man of the hole”. He did not have any contact with the outside world and any attempt to establish contact was met with traps and arrows from the holes that he made near his residence.

“Having endured atrocious massacres and land invasions, rejecting contact with outsiders was his best chance of survival,” said Sarah Shenker, a campaigner at Survival International, said.

An unidentified indigenous man, who was thought to be the last member of his tribe in the Amazon, passed away and his death has resulted in a lot of discussion among activists. A number of people who work towards the conservation of arts and languages lamented the loss of an entire line of Brazilian Amazon tribes and contemplated the impact that this loss will have on overall culture. According to The Guardian, the indigenous man was known as Índio do Buraco, or the “Indigenous man of the hole”. He did not have any contact with the outside world and any attempt to establish contact was met with traps and arrows from the holes that he made near his residence.

‘Man of the hole’: Last member of indigenous tribe dies in Brazil's Amazon rainforest

The Supertech twin towers in Noida, Uttar Pradesh will be demolished on Sunday, marking the end of a nine-year legal battle. The demolitions are set to take place at 2:30 pm with the authorities rigging the structure with around 3,700 kg of explosives. With 20,000 circuits set for the demolition, the project engineer said that the entire process should take nine seconds to complete. The authorities have also evacuated the nearby areas so that they are not affected by the explosion and rubble.

In 2012, the residents of the Supertech Emerald Court society had filed a legal complaint when the towers were first approved. The residents complained that there were irregularities when it comes to the construction and the Allahabad High Court agreed with them in 2014. The demolition was ordered that year and in 2021, the court once again asked the authorities to carry out the order.

According to the engineer, the dust resulting from the explosion should take around 12 minutes to settle down, but the authorities have taken steps to improve the time. A special dust machine has been installed at the demolition site to monitor pollution levels after the demolition.

The resultant rubble can also become a problem for the residents of the area but the “waterfall method” will make sure that the rubble does not scatter in a big&nbsp;radius. According to estimates, it will take three months to clear it and transport it to the designated spots.

Mumbai-based company Edifice Engineering is in charge of the demolition and along with Central Building Research Institute and the Noida authorities, they have come up with a concrete plan to carry out the orders in a smooth way and order&nbsp;– ranging from damage control to evacuation procedures.

The nearby buildings have been covered by a special kind of material to stop the dust from entering and most residents have been evacuated. According to PTI, 7000 people were asked to move out and they will be allowed back into their residences by 5:30 pm on Sunday.

The traffic will also stay suspended in the area between 2:15 and 2:45 pm.

Noida twin towers demolition: From timing to evacuation plan - Everything you need to know

The violent clashes between two rival militia groups ended up claiming 23 lives and injuring 140 others in the Libyan capital of Tripoli, according to the country’s Ministry of Health. The Libyan government said on its official Facebook page that the conflicts between the two groups "were triggered by a military group firing randomly at a convoy passing in the Zawia Street area, while armed groups were gathering at the 27th gate west of Tripoli and the Jebs Gate south of Tripoli."

Libya has been a hotbed for conflict since the uprising against dictator Moammar Gadhafi back in 2011 and although the Government of National Unity is formed in 2021 to improve the situation, conflicts continue in different parts of the country among army groups with different ideologies.

The main reason behind the conflicts has been the power struggle between armed groups as the country remains split. While the head of GNU – Prime Minister Abdulhamid Dbeibeh – is backed by the United Nations, a rival government is headed by Fathi Bashagha in the eastern side of Libya.

According to CNN, the clashes in Tripoli caused severe damage to property as well and videos circulating on social media showed two sides use heavy artillery including rocket launchers.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres requested for "immediate cessation to the violence”.

"(The secretary-general) urges the Libyan parties to engage in a genuine dialogue to address the ongoing political impasse and not to use force to resolve their differences. He further calls on the parties to protect civilians and refrain from taking any actions that could escalate tensions and deepen divisions," Stéphane Dujarric, spokesman for the secretary-general told AFP.

At least 23 dead, 140 injured as rival armed groups clash in Libya

The documents recovered by the FBI during their raid on former United States president Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida on August 8 will be assessed by the country’s intelligence community in order to understand the potential risk to national security, according to Reuters.

In a letter obtained by the news agency, the National Intelligence Director (DNI) Avril Haines told House Intelligence Committee chair Adam Schiff and Oversight Committee chair Carolyn Maloney that the two agencies "are working together to facilitate a classification review" of materials.

Earlier, the US Justice Department released a highly redacted affidavit stating the nature of the documents found in the raid and the circumstances and proof leading up to the FBI operation.

According to The Washington Post, the affidavit also said that 184 documents found in the boxes had “classification markings”. Among the documents mentioned in the affidavit, 67 of them were marked “CONFIDENTIAL,” 92 marked “SECRET,” and remaining 25 were marked as “TOP SECRET”.

In a joint statement, Schiff and Maloney made it clear that the two agencies will be trying to understand the complete content of the recovered documents and their potential impact.

They cited the affidavit released the Justice Department and said that it "affirms our grave concern that among the documents stored at Mar-a-Lago were those that could endanger human sources. It is critical that the IC move swiftly to assess and, if necessary, to mitigate the damage done."

Despite the constant criticism, Trump continued to defend his position and his lawyers said on Saturday that the authorities are trying to malign his name ahead of the 2024 Presidential run.

US intelligence to carry out risk assessment of documents from Mar-a-Lago raid

The farmers in Castilla-La Mancha in central Spain are known to farm olives and vines but they are slowly moving towards a cash crop for quick profits. The last few months have seen them replanting their fields with pistachios – a crop that is worth ten times the value of olives in the market.

“I used to farm cereals, olives and vines but I’ve abandoned them all in order to grow pistachios,” says Gustavo Adolfo Galvez, who has a pistachio plantation near Toledo, told The Guardian. “[They are] a lot more profitable and cheaper to produce, and it’s meant a lot more farmers can survive.”

Galvez also explained that while olives go for 65-85 cents per kg, pistachios fetch around €6-8. 
 
Pistachios can withstand drought – an important factor in La Mancha – but need plentiful water during the nut-forming stage.

The idea of farming pistachio actually came from the regional institute for agricultural research and development which was set up by the regional government way back in 1986. They looked for alternative crop options for the farmers and decided that pistachios were their best option.

“We spent the next 10 years researching alternative crops to the three or four that are already grown here,” José Francisco Couceiro López of the regional institute told The Guardian.

&nbsp;“Once we moved from theory to practice, we discarded practically all the options aside from pistachio. The pistachio almost magically suits the climate in Castilla-La Mancha. It can withstand the heat and the cold, and it can thrive in poor, shallow soil,” he explained.

Pistachios are not native to Spain and as a result, the seeds are mainly imported from the Middle East.
