    Argentina notches biggest win over Wales

    In a historic rugby showdown at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium, Argentina delivered a commanding performance, defeating Wales 52-28 on Sunday. This victory marked Argentina’s highest score and largest margin against Wales in their rugby history. The Pumas showcased their prowess with seven tries, including two from rookie flyhalf Gerónimo Prisciantelli, who was named man of the match. Santiago Carreras also impressed, converting all eight of his kicks. Wales, despite ending an 18-test losing streak in July, struggled to maintain momentum. Captain Jac Morgan suffered a suspected dislocated shoulder while scoring a try, adding to Wales’ woes. The team conceded soft tries, missed 30 tackles, and received two yellow cards, allowing Argentina to capitalize with 17 points during their absence. Argentina’s dominance was evident from the start, with early tries from Pedro Delgado and Prisciantelli. Wales briefly rallied, but indiscipline and defensive lapses cost them dearly. Argentina’s Simón Benítez Cruz and Mateo Carreras scored spectacular 80-meter tries within two minutes, further extending their lead. Bautista Delguy added another try, while Prisciantelli and Santiago Grondona sealed the victory with late scores. Argentina now looks ahead to their next match against Scotland, while Wales faces a challenging autumn series against Japan, New Zealand, and South Africa.

    Japan issues tsunami advisory following 6.7 magnitude quake

    Japan has issued a tsunami advisory following a 6.7 magnitude earthquake that struck the northern Pacific region on Sunday. The quake, which occurred at approximately 5:03 PM local time (0803 GMT) off the coast of Iwate, prompted the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) to warn of potential tsunami waves up to one meter (three feet) high. The US Geological Survey recorded the earthquake at a slightly higher magnitude of 6.8. The JMA has urged residents to stay away from coastal areas, as offshore tsunami waves have already been observed. National broadcaster NHK echoed this warning, emphasizing the immediate danger. Live television feeds, however, showed calm seas in the region. The area is still haunted by the memory of the devastating 2011 earthquake and tsunami, which claimed approximately 18,500 lives and triggered a nuclear disaster at the Fukushima plant. Japan, located on the Pacific ‘Ring of Fire,’ is one of the most seismically active countries in the world, experiencing around 1,500 tremors annually. While most are mild, the potential for significant damage remains, depending on the quake’s location and depth.

    TCM’s role in addressing global health challenges highlighted at Thai forum

    The pivotal role of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in addressing global health challenges was underscored at the ‘We Are The World’ Bangkok 2025 Summit, which convened from November 9 to 11. The event, organized by the nonprofit global health platform We Are The World, brought together international experts to explore the fusion of TCM with cutting-edge technologies like biotechnology, regenerative medicine, and artificial intelligence (AI).

    Adrian Cheng Chi-kong, a Hong Kong entrepreneur and co-founder of We Are The World, emphasized the growing global recognition of TCM’s millennia-old wisdom in the face of rapid technological advancements. He highlighted the urgent need to integrate TCM with modern technologies to combat pressing health issues such as cancer and noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), which claimed millions of lives globally in recent years.

    Phinij Jarusombat, former Thai Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Public Health, stressed the importance of collaboration in bridging the gap between advanced medical technologies and patients suffering from chronic and neurodegenerative diseases. He advocated for a ‘Health Silk Road’ to facilitate the free flow of medical knowledge and innovation, building on Thailand’s existing cooperation with China in digital health and medical training.

    Yan Lijin, Chairman of the China Silk Road Group, announced a collaboration between the Traditional Chinese Medicine Culture Congress and We Are The World, emphasizing the potential of TCM’s integration with biotechnology, regenerative medicine, and AI to address health challenges across the human life cycle. He noted TCM’s accessibility and affordability make it a valuable supplement to healthcare systems in less developed regions, while offering personalized solutions in chronic disease management in developed areas.

    Personal testimonies, such as that of Michael Chin, co-founder of We Are The World, highlighted the practical benefits of combining TCM with modern treatments. Sranyoo Chanate, CEO of Kluaynamthai Hospital, and Sorapoj Techakraisri, founder of Pace Development Corp, echoed the sentiment, envisioning a future where the integration of traditional and modern medicine revolutionizes healthcare.

    India: Earthquake of magnitude 6.07 strikes Andaman Islands, GFZ says

    A significant earthquake with a magnitude of 6.07 struck the Andaman Islands, India, on Sunday, as reported by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ). The seismic event occurred at a depth of 10 kilometers (6 miles). While the GFZ provided this magnitude, the Indian National Centre for Seismology recorded a slightly lower magnitude of 5.4. Despite the discrepancy in measurements, both agencies confirmed the occurrence of the quake. Fortunately, initial reports indicate no loss of life or property damage. The Andaman Islands, located in the Bay of Bengal, are no strangers to seismic activity due to their proximity to tectonic plate boundaries. This event serves as a reminder of the region’s vulnerability to earthquakes. Authorities continue to monitor the situation closely, and residents have been advised to remain vigilant. The incident underscores the importance of robust disaster preparedness in earthquake-prone areas.

    Premier League: Chelsea win eases pressure on coach Maresca

    Chelsea delivered a resounding 3-0 victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday, a performance that not only lifted them to second place in the Premier League but also alleviated mounting pressure on manager Enzo Maresca. The win, marked by Malo Gusto’s first professional goal, Joao Pedro’s clinical finish, and Pedro Neto’s late strike, came after a week of scrutiny over Maresca’s rotation policy. Critics, including former Manchester United star Wayne Rooney, had questioned Maresca’s decision to make seven changes in Chelsea’s midweek Champions League draw against Qarabag. However, Maresca defended his approach, citing the physical demands on players, and made eight changes for the Wolves clash. The strategy paid off as Chelsea dominated the second half, showcasing their depth and resilience. Despite a sluggish first half, Chelsea found their rhythm after the break, with Gusto breaking the deadlock in the 51st minute. Emerging talent Estevao Willian, introduced in the second half, made an immediate impact by assisting Pedro’s goal in the 65th minute. Neto sealed the victory in the 73rd minute, capping off a strong team performance. Maresca expressed confidence in his methods, stating, ‘Inside, we are convinced we are going in the right direction.’ Meanwhile, Wolves, now led by academy coaches James Collins and Richard Walker following Vitor Pereira’s dismissal, remain rooted to the bottom of the table, eight points from safety. The win positions Chelsea within six points of league leaders Arsenal, providing a morale boost ahead of the international break.
