A green pit viper coiled around a drainpipe, three blue-banded bees sleeping on a grass blade, and a gecko climbing a tree against the backdrop of a bustling city. They’re all part of Hong Kong-British wildlife photographer Lawrence Hylton’s extensive portfolio. Despite being one of the most densely populated places in the world, Hong Kong is a diverse home to over 1,000 animal species, and boasts one third of all bird species in China. Many of these creatures only emerge at night, but that doesn’t stop 30-year-old Hylton from seeking them out. Embarking on nocturnal safaris multiple times a week, Hylton says…

Rescuers on Tuesday successfully drilled through to 41 men trapped inside a collapsed Himalayan tunnel, as a weekslong evacuation effort fraught with uncertainty enters its final stretch. The men have been trapped since November 12 when the part of tunnel they were helping to construct in India’s northern Uttarakhand state gave way, blocking their only exit with more than 60 meters (200 feet) of broken rock, concrete and twisted metal. The breakthrough follows a series of agonizing setbacks, during which rescue efforts were halted when the heavy machinery used to drill through the debris broke down, forcing workers to partially dig by hand…

Indian actress Rashmika Mandanna, who was recently targeted with a deepfake video, has urged people to not share such material. She particularly urged young women to speak up if somebody bullied them with such material. Ms Mandanna shared the message weeks after a deepfake video about her went viral on social media.

On Monday, the actress, 27, said the support from her film industry colleagues made her realise that sharing of such videos shouldn’t be normalised. “It…

Fragments from the asteroid US space agency Nasa has described as the most dangerous rock in the Solar System have arrived in the UK for study. The tiny pieces of rock and dust from the object known as Bennu will be subjected to a battery of tests at the Natural History Museum, and the Open, Manchester and Oxford universities. It is a small donation but ample, says the NHM’s Prof Sara Russell. “One hundred milligrams of beautiful” was how she described it to BBC News. The sample was scooped up from the surface of 500m-wide asteroid Bennu in 2020 by…

Coup leaders in Niger have overturned an eight-year-old law criminalising migrant smuggling in the country. The legislation allowed authorities to take action against smugglers who transported migrants through Niger’s vast desert on to Libya and Europe.

Gen Abdourahmane Tchiani has since declared himself the new head of state. His ruling junta announced the repeal in a statement, saying the law “did not take into account the interests of Niger and its citizens”.…
