In this file photo, US President Trump and China's President Xi Jinping shake hands. ( Source: Reuters) US President Donald Trump sounded upbeat on Wednesday ahead of a crucial meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping , saying he expected a “great meeting” that could finally ease trade tensions between the world’s two biggest economies. Trump, who also revealed that a deal with South Korea was “pretty much” done, is hoping to wrap up his Asia tour with a bang. If he and Xi strike a truce in their long-running trade war during Thursday’s talks in Busan , it would mark a dramatic finale to a trip full of praise, luxury, and symbolic gifts. However, a possible meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un looks unlikely, with Trump saying the “timing” didn’t work out.

Image Of Storm By (The Boston Globe) On Tuesday, October 28, 2025, the Caribbean island of Jamaica is facing one of the most dangerous storms in its history. Hurricane Melissa is forecast to make landfall within the next few hours. Forecasters say the storm may be the strongest ever to hit the nation. Storm intensity & arrival At present, Hurricane Melissa is a Category 5 hurricane. Winds are extremely powerful — sustained winds around 175 mph (about 280 km/h) have been reported. The storm is very slow moving, only a few miles per hour, which means it will linger over Jamaica longer than many storms do. Forecasters expect the landfall to occur on Jamaica’s southern or western coast later today. Why Jamaica is especially at risk Jamaica’s geography adds to its vulnerability. The island has steep terrain, heavy rainfall will cause runoff and landslides, and many communities lie near the coast and low ground. The storm surge and high winds will hit hard. Officials warn that thi...

Image From Instagram  In a landmark move for neuroscience and assistive technology, Neuralink has successfully implanted its brain-device in a UK patient. The surgery was done at University College London Hospitals (UCLH) as part of the UK-based trial known as the GB‑PRIME Study. The recipient, a patient named Paul who lives with motor neuron disease, is now the first in the UK to receive the company’s “N1” implant. Early results are promising. Just hours after the procedure earlier this month, Paul was able to control a computer cursor by thought alone, showing that the implant works almost immediately. Neuralink now plans to work with Paul to expand the system so that it can be used for playing video games and performing everyday tasks. The UK trial builds on successful earlier trials in the United States where the device was implanted without major adverse events. What happened Paul, who is paralysed by motor neuron disease, underwent surgery to receive the N1 implant. This...
