Investigators had earlier last week said they had found evidence of a bird strike on the Boeing 737-800 plane
South Korea orders airports to install bird detection cameras
SEOUL — All South Korean airports will need to install bird detection cameras and thermal imaging radars, after an air crash in December last year killed 179 people.The rollout is set to happen in 2026.Investigators said last week that they had found evidence of a bird strike on the Boeing 737-800 plane — with feathers and blood stains found on both the plane's engines.An investigation into the crash, the deadliest on South Korean soil, is still ongoing but will focus on the role of the bird strike as well as a concrete structure at the end of the runway, which the plane slammed into after making an emergency landing."Bird detection radars will be installed at all airports to enhance early detection of distant birds and improve response capabilities for aircraft," said...

Scientists produce first kangaroo embryo using IVF
SYDNEY — Australian scientists have produced the world's first kangaroo embryo through in vitro fertilisation (IVF), a breakthrough they say could help save other species from extinction.Using specimens from eastern grey kangaroos, the researchers successfully injected a single sperm cell into an egg, but said achieving a live birth would require more work and "technical advancements".The feat provides important insights into marsupial breeding and could aid efforts to improve the genetic diversity of endangered species such as the koala, Tasmanian devil, northern hairy-nosed wombat and Leadbeater's possum, lead researcher Andres Gambini said.Australia houses the largest variety of marsupial mammals, but it also has the highest rate of mammal extinctions.The University...

The late Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Bangladesh's founding president, was widely viewed as a hero, but has become a target for critics of his daughter Sheikh Hasina
Protesters set fire to ex-Bangladesh PM's family home
DHAKA — Protesters in Bangladesh have vandalized and set fire to the former family home of deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina, as well as those of other members of her party.The unrest was sparked by news that Hasina would address the country via social media from India, where she has been in exile since a student-led revolt ousted her last year.The 77-year-old Hasina, who was in charge of Bangladesh for 20 years, was seen as an autocrat whose government ruthlessly clamped down on dissent.On Wednesday evening, an excavator smashed down the house of Hasina's late father, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, who is also Bangladesh's founding president. The structure had been repurposed into a museum.Hasina's father is widely viewed as an independence hero, but anger at his daughter has...

China challenges Trump tariffs as 'discriminatory'
BEIJING — China has accused the US of making "unfounded and false allegations" about its role in the fentanyl trade to justify tariffs on Chinese products.The complaint was lodged with the World Trade Organization (WTO) one day after US President Donald Trump raised border taxes on Chinese goods by 10%, a measure he said was intended to address an influx of illegal drugs.In the filing, China said the measures were "discriminatory and protectionist" and violated trade rules.But experts have warned that China is unlikely to secure a ruling in its favour as the panel that settles trade disputes remains unable to function. One former WTO official told the BBC it has "no possibility of succeeding".The dispute comes as Trump's plans for tariffs — a tax he...
