As the world moves at a fast pace, it is hard to keep up with the world and its news. Here is news about the world in brief!

Chile:

A fire that ripped off through part of Easter Island this week has caused permanent damage to about 100 of its iconic carved stone figures known as Moai. The high temperature of the forest fire accelerated the process through which the stone cravings will eventually turn into sand, the mayor of the island, locally known as Rapa Nui, said. The damage is “irreparable and immeasurable as well”, Mayor Pedro Edmunds Paoa said.

Six Countries:

Proposed new legislation to override sections of the Northern Ireland Protocol poses a “significant threat” to human rights protections. Joint research by academics at Queen’s University Belfast and the University of Michigan released today warns that despite assurances, Britain’s proposed Northern Ireland Protocol Bill. This bill “empowers ministers to undermine hard-won human rights protections contained in the Belfast Good Friday Agreement and protected in the Northern Ireland Protocol negotiated with the European Union”.

Sea of Japan:

North Korea has blasted two more short-range ballistic missiles into its easter waters. Japan’s Vice Defence Minister Toshiro Ino confirmed the launches, and said Pyongyang’s testing activities were “absolutely unacceptable”. North Korea’s Defence Ministry warned that the redeployment of a US aircraft carrier was causing a “considerably huge negative splash” in regional security. The launch, the North’s seventh round of weapons tests in two weeks came after the US and South Korea closed two days of the naval drill.

Nicaragua:

Hurricane Julia slammed the country’s Caribbean coast yesterday after lashing Colombia’s San Andres island. Julia hit as a Category 1 hurricane early with maximum sustained wind up to 85 kmph. The US National Hurricane Centre said Julia was centred about 65 miles east-northeast of Managua. It said life-threatening flash floods and mudslides were possible across Central America and southern Mexico. The storm is expected to bring as much as 15 inches of rain in isolated areas.
