Published on 16/06/2026 – 6:54 GMT+2 A 6.7 magnitude earthquake shook part of Indonesia on Tuesday and was followed by strong aftershocks. The initial temblor caused strong shaking lasting more than a minute in Palu, a city of about 400,000 people and the capital of Central Sulawesi province.

The initial quake was centred 46 kilometres east-southeast of Palu, and the US Geological Survey said it was about 10 kilometres deep. The strongest subsequent quakes measured 5.2, 5.0 and 4.9 magnitude. Indonesia is crossed…

There are always infectious disease threats that are associated with them,” Katz told Euronews Health. Its core functions…

Uniquely human capabilities such as judgment, creativity and leadership are becoming more valuable as artificial intelligence fundamentally reshapes the workforce, according to PwC’s 2026 Global AI Jobs Barometer, released on Monday.

By extracting core samples deep underground, researchers hope to understand how the impact altered the surrounding rock and how the crater gradually filled over time. Scientists are particularly searching for signs of “shocked quartz”, a mineral deformation produced by the…

But there’s little indication that the United States, which has eased energy sanctions against Russia amid a spike in global prices, wants to follow suit or indeed stump up any additional cash to back Kyiv’s war effort. The other hot-button issue is who should lead any future talks and what approach they should take.

European and Ukrainian officials said ahead of the G7 that they want to get the U.S. onside with a…
