Ukraine's Maryna Viazovska becomes the only second woman to be awarded the prestigious Fields medal. Including Viazovska, a total of four mathematicians shared the prestigious Fields medals on Tuesday (July 5) the International Mathematical Union jury said.

Ukraine's Maryna Viazovska becomes the only second woman to be awarded the prestigious Fields medal. Including Viazovska, a total of four mathematicians shared the prestigious Fields medals on Tuesday (July 5) the International Mathematical Union jury said. The Fields medal is dubbed the Nobel prize for mathematics. Apart from Viazovska, the other medal winners are France's Hugo Duminil-Copin, US-based June Huh and Britain's James Maynard. The award-giving ceremony was held in Finland's Helsinki as the initially chosen venue, Saint Petersburg, was replaced after Russia invaded Ukraine in late February. Who is Maryna Viazovska? Viazovska was born in 1984 in Ukraine, then it was still a part of the Soviet Union. In the history of over 80 years, Viazovska is only the second woman to win the prize for proving the best way to pack spheres in eight dimensions to take up the least space. It was a centuries-old mathematical problem. She proved the densest packing of identical spheres in eight dimensions. The "sphere packing problem" dates back to the 16th century when the question of how cannonballs should be stacked to achieve the densest possible solution was poised. She said her life "changed forever" when Russia invaded her home country. Her parents and sisters were living in Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, when the war began. While receiving the prize, she said at a ceremony in Helsinki: "I could not think of anything else, including mathematics." As reported by AFP, she has been a professor at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne in Switzerland since 2017. Maryam Mirzakhani was the first woman to win the prize in 2014. She was an Iranian-born mathematician who died three years later in 2017 after a battle with cancer. WATCH WION LIVE HERE You can now write for wionews.com and be a part of the community.

While WION takes utmost care to accurately report this developing news story, we cannot independently verify the authenticity of all statements, photos and videos. Amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, Moscow on Tuesday (July 5) claimed that some of the West-supplied weapons are spreading across the Middle East and ending up on the black market. During televised remarks, Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said that Ukraine had received more than 28,000 tonnes of military cargo so far, and some of the Western weapons were appearing in the Middle East. Shoigu said: "In the hope of prolonging the conflict in Ukraine, the collective West is continuing large-scale arms supplies to the Kyiv regime." "According to information at our disposal, some of the foreign weapons supplied by the West to Ukraine are spreading across the Middle Eastern region and are also ending up on the black market," he added. Although, he didn't provide any evidence to support his claims. He neither provided any other details. ALSO READ | Russian shelling continues in Kharkiv, Putin declares victory in Luhansk × Russia announced the invasion of its neighbouring country Ukraine on February 24 this year. But Moscow calls it a "special military operation." The invasion has damaged Ukrainian cities as bombings destroyed infrastructure and killed people, causing millions to flee homes. To counter Russia's invasion, the US and other Western countries have provided Ukraine with advanced and high-precision weapons. If we talk just about the US, including the latest package, around $6.9 billion has been provided so far by Washington to Ukraine since Russia invaded the country. In the latest development, Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday ordered Russian troops to press their offensive deeper into the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine after Moscow's forces seized the strategic city of Lysychansk. Shoigu told Putin on Monday that Moscow's forces were now in full control of the Lugansk region. On Tuesday, Shoigu said that Russia would continue what the Kremlin has termed a "special military operation" until the end.

Highland Park: Six killed, several injured in shooting during US July 4 parade

Copenhagen shooting: Suspect held in psych ward, authorities rule out terrorism

At a time when United Kingdom shoppers are facing higher bills, the country's Prime Minister Boris Johnson is accused of using a government-private jet to fly home from a weekend with his family in Cornwall. The reported incident triggered questions about the use of taxpayer-funded resources.&nbsp;

UK-based media outlet Mirror reported that the British PM has been accused of using official planes as his "personal taxi service".&nbsp;

The trip was scheduled on a weekend before defeat in the Tiverton by-election. During the weekend, Johnson was photographed enjoying a day on the beach with his wife, Carrie Johnson.&nbsp;

A report by Sunday Mirror noted that an official plane was apparently taken off from London to Royal Naval Air Station Culdrose early on the morning of June 13.&nbsp;

It reportedly returned to London shortly after 10:00am (local time). The report claimed that the plane had complete United Kingdom livery and the tail number G-GBNI.&nbsp;

Emily Thornberry, who is Labour's shadow Attorney General, said as quoted by the report: "While the rest of Britain is struggling to pay the bills, Boris Johnson keeps living the high life at public expense. Once again, he's been caught treating the government's official plane as his personal taxi service, regardless of what it costs the environment or the taxpayer. It's the act of a man drunk on power, who needs to be told he’s had enough."&nbsp;

As quoted by the news website, a Number 10 Spokesperson said: "All travel decisions are made with consideration for security and time restraints. The PM is accompanied on government business by a delegation of staff, which is taken into consideration as part of ensuring taxpayer value for money."&nbsp;

"This was the sole reason for the plane being used to transport the PM and his staff back from this particular visit," the spokesperson added.&nbsp;

At least six people have been killed and several were injured after parts of a mountain glacier collapsed in the northern Italian Alps on Sunday (July 3), news agency Reuters reported citing local authorities. Several media reports mentioned that two people are suffering serious injuries.&nbsp;

As per reports, the avalanche took place on the Marmolada. It is at more than 3,300 metres is the highest mountain in the Dolomites, a range in the eastern Italian Alps.&nbsp;

As quoted by Reuters, the Trento provincial government said rescue operations were in progress after a large "ice avalanche" involving hikers. The official further added that there was likely to be a "heavy toll".&nbsp;

Luca Zaia, who is the president of Veneto, said that the injured people were taken to hospitals in the nearby towns of Belluno, Treviso, Trento and Bolzano.&nbsp;

A spokesperson said:&nbsp;"Fortunately the weather conditions are good but the danger is that there could further collapse."&nbsp;

In the aftermath, helicopters and dogs were used in search of survivors. Zaia said that an early summer heatwave in Italy saw temperatures on the Marmolada touch 10 degrees Celsius on Saturday.&nbsp;

A two-year-old toddler, Isla McNabb, from Kentucky, United States became the youngest ever member of Mensa, which is the largest and oldest high IQ society in the world. Mensa International is a non-profit organisation open to people who score at the 98th percentile or higher on a standardised, supervised IQ or other approved intelligence test. A report said that McNabb tested in the 99th percentile for the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales.&nbsp;

Young McNabb is now in the top one per cent of smartest people in the world. People can only guess what this genius child will do in future.&nbsp;

As per a report by the Washington Post, McNabb's parents Jason and Amanda decided to get their daughter's IQ tested. The report mentioned that McNabb started naming objects around the house with toy letters.&nbsp;

Jason and Amanda said that their daughter was absolutely accurate while naming household items, such as chairs, the sofa and the TV. She apparently spelt out C-A-T next to the family cat.&nbsp;

They tested her further trying out words, colours, etc. They also taught her how to say and pronounce each letter and then have her words. As per the report, the two-year-old baby sailed through every test.&nbsp;

As quoted by the website Courier Journal, Dr Ed Amend, the Lexington psychologist who performed Isla's test, spoke about his experience. Dr Amend said it is rare for children under four to be tested, but that it is important to foster the abilities of gifted youth.&nbsp;

He said, "A lot of parents underestimate how bright their kid is. They acquaint the word giftedness with genius. They think because their kid isn't doing calculus, they must not be gifted."&nbsp;

Disclaimer: A number of claims and counterclaims are being made on the Ukraine-Russia conflict on the ground and online. While WION takes utmost care to accurately report this developing news story, we cannot independently verify the authenticity of all statements, photos and videos. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Monday (July 4) that rebuilding war-torn Ukraine is the "common task of the whole democratic world". Zelensky insisted that the recovery of the country would serve world peace. On the same day, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said that reconstructing the war-ravaged country is expected to cost $750 billion. He further insisted that seized Russian assets should be used to pay for the recovery of his country. While speaking to the Ukraine Recovery Conference in southern Switzerland, Shmyhal said that Ukraine's recovery "is already estimated at $750 billion. We believe that the key source of recovery should be the confiscated assets of Russia and Russian oligarchs." ALSO READ | Fight on, Vladimir Putin tells Russian troops after capture of Luhansk During his address via video link to the conference in Switzerland, the Ukrainian President said, "Reconstruction of Ukraine is the biggest contribution to the support of global peace." Russia announced the invasion of its neighbouring country Ukraine on February 24 this year. But Moscow calls it a "special military operation." The invasion has damaged Ukrainian cities as bombings destroyed infrastructure and killed people. The two-day conference was held under tight security in the southern Swiss city of Lugano. It was planned well before the invasion and the original agenda was to discuss reforms in Ukraine, however, it was later repurposed to focus on reconstruction.

Ukraine's recovery cost $750 billion? Zelensky says reconstruction a common task for democratic world

United States scientists have developed a new test to identify all current variants of coronavirus (COVID-19) quickly and accurately. The test, named CoVarScan, can detect all current variants of SARS-CoV-2 within hours by finding the signatures of eight hotspots on the deadly virus.&nbsp;

The researchers at the University of Texas (UT) Southwestern Medical Center in the US published the findings after testing samples collected from more than 4,000 patients.&nbsp;

The results of CoVarScan tests were published recently in the Clinical Chemistry journal. As per the findings, the test is as accurate as other methods used to diagnose Covid. The researchers also noted that the test successfully differentiate between all current variants of SARS-CoV-2.&nbsp;

Jeffrey SoRelle, who is an assistant professor at UT Southwestern, and senior author of the study, said "Using this test, we can determine very quickly what variants are in the community and if a new variant is emerging. It also has implications for individual patients when we are dealing with variants that respond differently to treatments.&nbsp;

In most cases, scientists use genome sequencing to determine which variant of COVID-19 a patient has. The process is time-consuming and expensive too. To analyse the RNA sequence contained in the viruses, the tests also rely on sophisticated equipment.&nbsp;

How does CoVarScan work?&nbsp;

During the research, the CoVarScan had 96 per cent sensitivity and 99 per cent specificity as compared to whole genome sequencing.&nbsp;

Researchers noted that the CoVarScan test detects eight regions of SARS-CoV-2 that commonly differ between viral variants. It detects small mutations to measure the length of repetitive genetic regions that tend to grow and shrink as the virus evolves.&nbsp;

The method relies on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to copy and measure the RNA at these eight sites of interest.&nbsp;
