VIGAN CITY - Tatlong araw nang umuulan ng grabeng yelo at umabot na rin sa -4 degrees celcius ang temperatura sa Toronto, Canada.

Ayon kay Marc Pinol na tubo ng Vigan City at nakatira na ngayon sa Toronto, nahihirapan sila sa paglabas dahil sa sobrang kapal ng yelong nakatambak sa kanilang paligid na umabot na ng mahigit 20 pulgada ang taas.

Aniya, dahil sa kapal ng yelo sa mga daan, naghulog na naman ang mga otoridad ng truckload na asin upang matunaw ito at hindi maging sagabal sa mga kalsada.

Pati sila ay tatlong araw na ring obligadong magpala ng yelo sa paligid at harapan ng kani-kanilang mga tahanan dahil pati ang kanilang mga nakaparadang sasakyan ay natambakan na rin ng yelo.

Idinagdag pa niya na mas lalong nahihirapan ang mga pumapasok ng eskuwelahan at sa trabaho dahil may mga daanan na madulas na sanhi ng mga aksidente maliban pa sa dinadanas na sobrang lamig.

Sa ngayon ay wala pang forecast sa kanila kung kailan titigil ang pag- ulan ng yelo sa nasabing lugar.

Vietnam condemns China's 'brutal behavior' in fisher attack ---- Agence France-Presse

HANOI, Vietnam — Vietnam's foreign ministry condemned on Wednesday China's "brutal behavior" during a violent attack on Vietnamese fishers in the disputed South China Sea. The 10 fishermen were reportedly beaten with iron bars and robbed of thousands of dollars' worth of fish and equipment on Sunday off the Paracel Islands -- an archipelago in the resource-rich waterway claimed by China, Vietnam, the Philippines, Taiwan, Malaysia and Brunei. Vietnam "resolutely protests the brutal behavior of Chinese law enforcement forces against Vietnamese fishermen and fishing vessels operating in the Hoang Sa archipelago of Vietnam", foreign ministry spokesperson Vietnam Pham Thu Hang said in a statement, using the Vietnamese term for the Paracel Islands. "The above actions of Chinese law enforcement forces seriously violated Vietnam's sovereignty" over the archipelago, the statement said. Four of the Vietnamese crew were taken to hospital on Monday

Africa roads are world’s deadliest despite few cars ---- AFP

ADDIS ABABA: Africa has the fewest roads and cars of any region, and yet the largest ratio of vehicle deaths, caused by the usual suspects — unsafe habits, speeding and drinking — but also poor infrastructure, scant rescuers and old cars. As everywhere, speed, alcohol and not wearing a seat belt or helmet are among the main causes of death and injury, say experts. But in Africa, where there are 620 traffic deaths every day, these problems are compounded by bad roads, outdated vehicles, minimal prosecutions and a shortage of emergency services. A recent World Health Organization report found that Africa surpassed the rest of the world, including Southeast Asia — which recorded the most road deaths — with a record ratio of 19.5 people killed per 100,000 inhabitants in 2021. Home to only around four percent of the world’s automobiles, Africa accounted for 19 percent of road deaths last year. “What is worrying is the upward trend in Africa,” said Jean Todt, a former head of the Internati

Russia captures town after 2 years of Ukrainian resistance --- Reuters

Russian forces now control 98.5% of Luhansk, 60% of Donetsk MOSCOW: Russian troops on Wednesday took charge of the eastern Ukrainian town of Vuhledar, a bastion that had resisted intense attacks since Russia launched its full-scale assault in 2022. The advance of Moscow's forces, which control just under a fifth of Ukraine, has underlined Russia's vast superiority in men and materiel as Ukraine pleads for more weapons from the Western allies that have been supporting it. Ukraine's eastern military command said it had ordered a pullback from the hilltop coal mining town to avoid encirclement by Russian troops and "preserve personnel and military equipment". The Russian defense ministry did not mention Vuhledar in its daily battlefield report. Russian Telegram channels, however, published video of troops waving the Russian tricolor flag over shattered buildings. The town, which had a population of over 14,000 before the war, has been devastated, with Soviet-era
