Sheyla Hernández won the first world title for #Cuba in women’s judo at the IBSA (International Blind Sports Federation) in Tbilisi (Georgia) 2026, defeating Italian Carolina Costa in the +70 kg (J2) final.
A victory with a special flavour: silver in 2022, bronze in 2025, and now, finally, a world champion! A reward for perseverance, sacrifice, and dedication.
Congratulations also to Ariagna Hechavarría for her bronze medal in the 70 kg category (J1).
Beyond strengthening existing programmes, new services, including care programmes for children with autism and assessments of family guardianship arrangements, will be established with stepped-up efforts, Hu said.
He also highlighted the primary-level role in child protection. China currently has about 42,000 “child supervisors” at the township and subdistrict levels and 550,000 “child directors” and workers at the village and community levels.
Hu described them as “strong guardians” of children in difficult circumstances and said their training would be expanded to include mental health screening, safety risk assessments, mandatory reporting and home visits as required components, strengthening their ability to identify and respond to risks facing children.
After surveying and identifying the bombs, UXO Lao teams coordinated with local authorities and informed nearby residents about the planned destruction process.
Following safety assessments, the bombs were moved approximately 1,500 metres away from the community to a secure demolition site.
Authorities said the explosives were destroyed using low-order demolition techniques in accordance with technical safety standards.
The operation was conducted to ensure the safety of local residents and prevent potential risks from unexploded ordnance remaining from US aggression in Laos.
Furthermore, I cannot find any pictures online. I think most people are unaware that a) this object exists, or b) the general public are permitted into this “entrance” area of a private members club – providing they do not attempt to pass through the barriers. Either way, there used to be five psychiatric hospitals in the Epsom area (known as the “Cluster”) – which suggests that many more maladies were once considered “mental illness” – even women demanding to vote or have a say. Working-class people “getting ill” so that their labour can no longer be exploited was also considered “psychotic” between earlier and middle part of its history (it existed between 1902-1997). One such unfortunate was a former wrestler who drive an ambulance during the Nazi German bombing of London. He was wounded by shrapnel in the neck – and he was placed in the psychiatric hospital – where he wasted away. He was a British Jewish person surnamed “Solomon” – who is buried in Horton Cemetery.
Four very different but equally important community groups have been recognised with a nomination for the BBC Radio Cornwall Make a Difference Awards.
The shortlist is made up of groups that focus on LGBT history, on campaigning for the rights of people with disabilities, on memory loss and on cancer support.
The topics might be serious but the staff, volunteers and clients of these Cornish collectives wanted to talk about the fun, companionship, togetherness and love they felt in each and every session.
The winner of the Community Group category will be revealed at a ceremony in Truro in September.
Wang, 33, had opened the breakfast shop less than a month earlier. He said he wanted to help after thinking about the financial and emotional pressure on families caring for children undergoing chemotherapy. The cash gift was roughly equal to the profit from 25 of his low-priced egg pancakes.
After the story spread online, Wang’s revenue doubled the next day and customer traffic nearly tripled. Some patrons asked that meals be given to delivery riders or sanitation workers instead. Wang later shut down some delivery channels to manage demand, refused donations and pledged to return anonymous transfers, saying he would use part of his profits to support workers in his community.
