Tre personer reddet fra tunneler i et vandkraftværk i Nepal
Ti dage efter de ødelæggende pludselige oversvømmelser, der ramte Himalaya og ramte den nepalesiske og kinesiske side, er en anden person blevet reddet levende fra en tunnel i et vandkraftværk. Han er blevet identificeret af den nepalesiske hær som Lu Haitao, en kinesisk statsborger. Han viste ingen synlige skader og havde stabile vitale tegn, men var udmattet og desorienteret, ifølge Reuters.
Hans redning fandt sted en dag efter, at to personer blev reddet fra en anden tunnel ved et andet vandkraftværk ved samme flod. Ifølge myndighederne mener de, at 900 mennesker stadig kan være fanget i disse tunneler siden august 2026.
Jordskreddet af vand, mudder, is og sten, der skete efter et gletsjerkollaps, har dræbt mindst 1.344 mennesker i Nepal og 31 i Tibet, Kina; over 5.000 mennesker er stadig savnede i begge lande.
Nepals udenrigsminister, Shishir Khanal, sagde, at de vil rejse spørgsmålet på den internationale scene og kræve retfærdighed, fordi dette var et resultat af klimaforandringer, og Nepals rolle i klimaforandringer er minimal sammenlignet med andre lande, men de betalte "en høj pris".
Tadej Pogacars skader værre end forventet og udelukket fra resten af året
En uge efter Tadej Pogacars fald i La Vuelta, som tvang ham til at trække sig tilbage med blå mærker og sår og et brækket kraveben, kender vi alvoren af hans skader. Mens sloveneren fra Team UAE Emirates forventede at vende tilbage i tide til UCI World Championship senere på måneden eller, hvis det ikke er muligt, til Giro di Lombardia, er rehabiliteringsperioden efter operationen vigtigere, og han vender først tilbage i 2027.
Nyheden er blevet annonceret af hans team i en erklæring, hvor de også bekræfter en kontraktforlængelse til 2032. "Fra starten har dette hold føltes som hjem for mig. Vi er vokset sammen gennem årene og har delt nogle utrolige øjeblikke, så jeg er meget glad for at forlænge min kontrakt til 2032", sagde Pogacar i erklæringen.
"Der er stadig meget, jeg gerne vil opnå i denne sport, og jeg mener, at dette er det rette sted at gøre det. Jeg er meget taknemmelig for den tillid, holdet har vist mig, og spændt på, hvad vi kan fortsætte med at bygge sammen. "
Desværre er hans sæson sluttet for tidligt, fordi "lige nu er det vigtigste at komme sig ordentligt og give min krop den tid, den har brug for". Det betyder, at vi må sige farvel til UCI landevejsverdensmesterskaberne fra 20.-27. september i Quebec, Canada, og Giro di Lombardia.
Uden 'Pogi' åbner der sig en ny horisont for resten af cyklisterne. Med lidt over en uge i La Vuelta kan Enric Mas, med en føring på 1:45 over Primoz Roglic og 2:06 over Felix Gall, blive den første spanier til at vinde La Vuelta siden Alberto Contador i 2014, mens 'Monumentet' i Lombardiet vil kende en ny mester efter fem sejre i træk for Pogacar.
Don't sleep on The Mandalorian Lego special – it might not be canon, but this is a must-watch for Star Wars fans
Don't miss out on The Mandalorian Lego special. The delightful animated short has arrived on Disney Plus (alongside its live-action big sibling, The Mandalorian and Grogu), and, while it might not be canon, it is a laugh-out-loud, joyful 45 minutes every Star Wars fan needs to tune in for. librea.one
The special has an adorable premise: Din Djarin's pals have thrown him a party – and it's not even his birthday! – which he begrudgingly attends with baby Grogu. While the duo are there in their party hats, a gang of their closest friends retell their story so far, all the way up to the events of the new movie.
The result is an irreverent, self-referential blast – exactly what you'd expect from a Lego special – that's also pretty much a perfect way to recap the Disney Plus show. What more could you ask for?
Getting the band back together
Probably the biggest selling point of any Lego special is just how damn hilarious they are, and The Mandalorian's is no different. The 45-minute runtime is packed with jokes that poke gentle fun at The Mandalorian and Star Wars as a whole, including Mando and Grogu's reunion taking place in a different series, IG-11's tendency to go straight for self-destruct mode, and Luke Skywalker having no luck with his Jedi students. I got to watch the special at this year's D23 in a crowd of Star Wars fans that laughed at every gag, and it only enhanced the experience.
The wacky premise doesn't just allow for laughs, too: it also gets the whole Mando gang back together again. There are cameos aplenty in the special, which means original actors return to their roles. Listen out for Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka Tano, Temuera Morrison as Boba Fett, Giancarlo Esposito as Moff Gideon, Amy Sedaris as Peli Motto, Katee Sackhoff as Bo-Katan Kryze, Timothy Olyphant as Cobb Vanth, and even Bill Burr as Migs Mayfeld (he's on hand to recount the events of season 2, which, he points out, he witnessed a whole 20% of).
Of course, any Mandalorian project – Lego or not – needs to include its fair share of heartwarming Clan of Two moments. The special doesn't just recreate the tearjerking scenes you know and love from the show (the special's version of Mando and Grogu's goodbye in the season 2 finale did indeed remind me of how many tears I shed back in December 2020), but it also includes a few new moments of its own. Highlights include Mando urging Grogu to make his signature cooing sound more intimidating if he's going to be a bounty hunter, Grogu using the Force to levitate a party hat onto Mando's beskar helmeted head, and Grogu having his own miniature steering wheel in the Razor Crest. If you've been missing Din Djarin and Din Grogu since their big-screen outing earlier this year, then you can't go wrong with the Lego special.
Assembled with love
The special is also set after The Mandalorian and Grogu on the Star Wars timeline, as revealed by the Razor Crest's distinctive yellow paint – and an appearance from Zeb Orrelios to tell this part of the story, before he's interrupted. Of course, Lego releases aren't Star Wars canon, so nothing that happens in this special is actually part of the saga's ongoing story. But, it does give a nice window into the kind of life you'd like to imagine Mando and Grogu living in between missions for the New Republic. What better way to spend their downtime than a party with friends?
And, while it might not be canon, and the premise is indeed silly fun, every second of the special makes it obvious that it was made with clear, reverent love for The Mandalorian and Star Wars as a whole. The story goes beyond just a party, encompassing Mando's growth across his tale so far as he comes to accept he's no longer a loner. Yes, this Lego special gets pretty deep, in between all the fun.
At the moment, it's unclear when we'll see Din Djarin and Din Grogu again, as nothing has been confirmed about their future (either in The Mandalorian season 4 or another movie). So, while we wait to be reunited with the Clan of Two, there's no better way to pass the time than with Lego Star Wars: The Mandalorian.
