Recently, 44 pilot whales discovered to be alive have been successfully pulled back into the water after being stranded on Tasmania's west coast.

Last Wednesday, over 230 pilot whales were reported to be stranded on the beach, but by the time rescuers arrived, over 170 had already perished. By Sunday, the death toll of stranded whales had reached nearly 200. They were chained together and towed out into the ocean, expected to float ashore.

Locals tried to save whales by covering them in wet clothes, but that didn't help much.

However, amongst 44 alive whales, two of them were discovered to be giant oceanic dolphins. The mammals were saved by towing them one-by-one into whalers off the coast with the help of state government employees, veterinarians, locals, and volunteers from the nearby area.

Nic Deka, the incident's controller for rescue, expressed her gratitude for volunteering to save the aquatic animals. Authorities in the region have issued a warning that carcasses might wash up in the following weeks and announced that surveillance planes would be flying over the area to keep an eye on them, The Guardian reported.&nbsp;

The authorities have further requested people who see any whales stranded&nbsp;in the area contact them immediately.

Similar instance of mass stranding happened exactly two years ago. At that time, Ocean Beach had approximately 470 whales.&nbsp;

As per experts, the reason for this mass stranding might never be discovered. But due to the heavy mass standing there, it is known as a "whale trap."

As per tracking satellite data, two of the saved whales are predicted to be swimming nearby.

Individuals and companies that suffer harm from drones, robots and other products or services equipped with artificial intelligence software will find it easier to sue for compensation under EU draft rules seen by Reuters.

The AI Liability Directive, which the European Commission will announce on Wednesday, aims to address the increasing proliferation of AI-enabled products and services and the patchwork of national rules across the 27-country European Union.

Victims can sue for compensation for harm to their life, property, health and privacy due to the fault or omission of a provider, developer or user of AI technology or was discriminated in a recruitment process using AI, the draft rules said.

The rules seek to lighten the burden of proof on victims by introducing a "presumption of causality", which means victims only need to show that a manufacturer or user's failure to comply with certain requirements caused the harm and then link this to the AI technology in their lawsuit.

Under a "right of access to evidence", victims can ask a court to order companies and suppliers to provide information about high-risk AI systems so that they can identify the liable person and find out what went wrong.

The EU executive will on Wednesday also update the Product Liability Directive which sets out the scope of manufacturers' liability for defective products ranging from smart technology to machinery and to pharmaceuticals.

The proposed changes will allow users to sue for compensation when software updates render their smart-home products unsafe or when manufacturers fail to fix cybersecurity gaps.

Users with unsafe non-EU products will be able to sue the manufacturer's EU representative for compensation.

The AI Liability Directive will need the green light from EU countries and EU lawmakers before it can become law.

European Union draft rules to make it easier to sue drone makers, AI systems

In an extraordinary rehearsal for the day when a rock threatens Earth, a NASA spacecraft successfully crashed into an asteroid at breakneck speed on Monday (Sept 27).

The spacecraft, named DART, slammed into an innocuous asteroid at 22,500 kph, causing a gigantic slam to occur at 9.6 million kilometres away. The DART stands for Double Asteroid Redirection Test.&nbsp;

The spectacle was observed through telescopes from Earth and space pointed towards the same location in the sky. The primary goal of the collision was to change the asteroid's orbit. The scientists, however, anticipate that this crash will also create a crater and launch streams of boulders and dirt into space, AP reported.

The $325 million mission was the first attempt to move any natural object in space.&nbsp;

Dimorphos, the name of the 160-metre asteroid, means "twin" in Greek. It is actually a moonlet of Didymos, a rapidly spinning and five times larger asteroid.&nbsp;

The DART spacecraft, which was launched last November and developed by the Applied Physics Laboratory at Johns Hopkins University, was the size of a vending machine. Engineers for the mission yelled with excitement when DART hit the asteroid.&nbsp;

A little satellite trailed a few minutes later to capture images of the collision. The Italian Cubesat was launched from DART two weeks ago.

As per NASA, much fewer than half of the projected 25,000 near-Earth objects in the lethal 140-metre&nbsp;range were found.&nbsp;

NASA's DART spacecraft strikes asteroid in key planetary defence test

An open letter from climate activist groups on Tuesday (Sept 27) warned governments worldwide that they must step up climate action or face legal actions.

With numerous legal disputes going on to reduce carbon emissions and protect the environment, experts state that more cases are being brought to attention urging governments to reduce fossil fuel pollution and to court actions over companies' false claims about their products.

The letter read, "Governments of the world: your delay is costing lives. Strong action is needed now to protect people and the planet. If you continue to fail us, we will continue to turn to the courts to demand accountability," AFP reported.

It further warned that the planet is on the verge of its most significant intergenerational violation of human rights in its history, with the filing of over 80 legal actions against governments from the Netherlands to Brazil.

A survey of climate legal claims stated that since 1986, nearly a quarter of 2,000 climate claims have been filed. It was further discovered that since 2005, nearly 80 such actions were taken, with 30 new cases in the year 2021.&nbsp;

However, one successful instance of this was Urgenda's 2019 victory in Dutch courts that forced the government to reduce green gas emissions by 25 per cent by the year 2020.&nbsp;

The US Supreme Court in June of this year declared that the main environmental agency of the government cannot set broad limitations on greenhouse gases.&nbsp;

Campaigners claim that as governments hasten the transition away from fossil fuels, energy companies are now turning to international arbitration to recover their investments.&nbsp;

Climate activists warn governments worldwide to boost climate actions or face 'legal' actions

The National Electoral Council of Cuba declared same-sex marriages as legal after citizens approved a new family law that boosts the rights of minorities. As per the electoral, 74.1 per cent of people turned out to vote in Sunday's referendum.

On Monday, 94 per cent of the votes were tallied in which over three million people voted in favour, with disapproval standing at a little over a million votes.

The family code, provides great security for women, children, and elderly people, while also permitting marriage and adoption for LGBTQ couples.&nbsp;

People in Cuba, the communist-run island, experienced discrimination for many years. One such instance that counts is after Fidel Castro came to power in the early 1960s, during which many LGBTQ people were sent to government camps along with political dissidents. However, Castro's daughter, Mariela, has publicly advocated for the rights of gays, lesbians, and others, CNN reported.

Despite the fact that homosexuality was made legal in Cuba in 1979, many gay men and women claimed that they were several times subjected to outright discrimination.

Outside and within the Cuban government, the community for their rights faced stiff opposition. Due to concerns that homophobic backlash might reduce voter turnout for the referendum, Cuban legislators in 2018 abandoned provisions that would have legalised same-sex marriages.

Cuba's expanding population has actively been arguing against implementing the family code. The Cuban government, however, made a full court ouch in support of this new family code, arguing that the new code is an example to show the island's revolution and its ability to adapt with time.

Days after following the announcement of Russian President Vladimir Putin's order to mobilise thousands of Russians for the conflict in Ukraine, Russian men are now finding their way to Georgia to avoid being called up for a fight they do not support. However, there are no clear calculations to define how many Russians have left the country.&nbsp;

As per Russian media and local officials, the projected wait time to enter Georgia at one point on Sunday is 48 hours, and now over 3,000 vehicles are lined up to cross the border. The official statistics stated that till now, Tbilisi, Georgia's capital, has witnessed an influx of approximately 40,000 Russians.

<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/what-is-partial-military-mobilisation-exactly-518528">Also read |&nbsp;What is partial military mobilisation exactly?</a>

In conversation with Reuters, Dmitry Kuriliyunok, an army reservist, said that as soon as they found out about mobilisation, they left everything behind and rushed to the car, driving from Krasnodar to Mineralnye Vody, where they, along with his wife and daughter, arrived in Tbilisi a day later.

He said, "We are completely against this war. For us, like for others, it's scary. To die and to kill others, and for what? We don't understand. Therefore, we decided to flee," Reuters reported.

Not just now, a few Russians flew to neighbouring countries months or days before the announcement of mobilisation came due to their dismay over Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.

However, the influx of newcomers to Tbilisi poses a risk of reigniting simmering anti-Russian sentiment among Georgia's locals.&nbsp;

In Tbilisi, several shops, museums, and other infrastructural properties were plastered with Ukrainian flags. Locals demanded Russians go back home as they believed everything was normal for them, but now as they are being forced to get involved in the war, they are now protesting.

Border crossings with Kazakhstan, Finland, and Mongolia have also reported similar migrations to those at the Russia-Georgia border.&nbsp;

Currently, there are either no seats available on flights leaving from Moscow, or if there are, the tickets are at extremely expensive prices.

The Australian Greens, or the left-wing party, secured constitutional advice that soon the federal parliament might overrule state prohibitions and legalise recreational marijuana use.

With the help of constitutional lawyer Patrick Keyzer, the Green Party is working hard to legalise recreational marijuana in the country, which could pave the way for federal legislation.

As per Keyzer's advice, there are three ways Commonwealth heads can use their authority to legalise and control the use of marijuana with Section 51's provisions. Keyzer, citing section 51(xviii), which allows the Commonwealth Head to access plant variety rights, "could regulate cannabis strains as plant varieties and cause them to be listed in a schedule in respect of which the Commonwealth has exclusive regulatory control," The Guardian reported,&nbsp;

The Green&nbsp;party claims that giving the federal government the authority to control cannabis cultivation and sales would supersede state and local marijuana prohibition laws.

Green's justice spokesperson David Shoebridge said that this is the first move to legalise marijuana through federal parliament, making Australia join several nations such as Germany, 19 states in the US, and Uruguay in decriminalising the drug. Shoebrdige plans to draught a bill for this later this year, with a proper account of people who can legally cultivate it, penalties for illegal sales to minors, and several taxation policies.

In a statement, he said, "We’ve been told to wait for the cannabis law reform for too long, even when it’s obvious that the majority of harm caused is by policing and the war on drugs, not the plant," The Guardian reported.

Furthermore, Shoebridge stated that approximately 40 per cent&nbsp;of Australians have consumed cannabis, and thus a prohibition law criminalises at least half of the population.&nbsp;

Australia's left-wing party campaigns to legalise recreational use of marijuana by federal parliament

Exit polls on Sunday revealed that the&nbsp;right-wing coalition led by Girogia Meloni's Brothers of Italy party appeared poised to win a comfortable win in the upcoming parliamentary elections.

As per the RAI exit poll, the coalition of conservative parties secured between 41 per cent and 45 per cent which is sufficient to endure control in both houses of parliament. The RAI's poll further added that the right-wing would secure nearly 111-131 Senate seats and nearly 227 to 257 seats in the lower house.

<a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/what-will-be-the-next-steps-after-italy-elections-519486">Also read |&nbsp;What will be the next steps after Italy elections</a>

If the polls are accurate, Italy would have had its most right-wing government since World War Two, and Meloni would be the first female prime minister of the country.

Meloni downplayed the post-fascist origins of her party and vowed to back Western policies toward Ukraine. However, given the desire to maintain unity in relations with Russia and worries over Italy's increasing debt, the decision is expected to raise alarm bells in Europe's financial markets.&nbsp;

Although Meloni is the leader of the largest coalition in Italy and an obvious choice for victory, it may take a bit longer for the new administration to swear in due to the delayed nature of power transfers.&nbsp;

The arduous work of European scientists to develop a genetically modified purple tomato that is rich in antioxidants and has anti-cancer qualities has now been approved by US regulators.

Published in Nature Biotechnology, the development of this functional food can aid in the prevention of some major illnesses.

In its statement, the USDA claimed that there is a very small chance that this plant will endanger the US from plant pests, indicating that it can be used and grown in the country without any risk. The European researchers are thrilled with the news of tomatoes' getting a go-ahead from the USDA.&nbsp;

The year 2008 marked the successful development of purple tomatoes by researchers who extracted anthocyanins from Snapdragon flowers and then transformed them into red tomatoes to further produce purple-pigmented tomatoes.&nbsp;

The purple tomato contains a higher concentration of anthocyanins, which helps to protect the skin and internal organs from toxic toxins. The purple tomato's anti-inflammatory and antioxidant characteristics can also help stop age-related degenerative diseases, the Financial Express reported.

Additionally, studies imply that these substances might cause a threat to health problems like obesity. The researchers further claimed that the pigment does not impart any unique flavour or smell to the fruit, but gives&nbsp;a slightly&nbsp;acidic taste.

The researchers examined the research on the mice's diet in order to discover how long the developed tomato would last for a caner-prone mouse. They further discovered that feeding such tomatoes to animals increased their lives.

By 2023, it is anticipated that it will be available for sale in the United States.&nbsp;
