Buildings in the capital, Taipei, have been shook by a magnitude 6 earthquake that struck off the northeast coast of Taiwan.
According to officials, the earthquake’s epicentre was located 20 kilometers (12 miles) offshore from Yilan County, at a depth of 112 kilometers (72 miles).
Taiwan’s fire department added that it had not received any reports of damage, and that monitoring was ongoing.
Taiwan frequently experiences earthquakes because it is located on the eastern boundary of two tectonic plates.
At least 19 people died and hundreds of buildings were damaged in a magnitude 7.4 earthquake in Hualien in April 2024. The strongest earthquake in 25 years was felt.
In the 2016 quake in southern Taiwan, more than 100 people were killed.

Liberty Poole has admitted taking time out for herself after her shock break-up from Joshua Raybould, despite thinking he was “The One”. The former Love Island star confirmed earlier this month that she had split from the aspiring DJ after a “breakdown in communication”, and now tells Mirror she’s off travelling to look for her husband.
You’ve seen me go through it on national TV, I’ve been through a lot of breakups, I mean, I mean! So I’ll be fine, then. However, I did believe he was “The One,” Liberty says at Shoreditch Superdrug Presents. At the end of the day, Liberty, who has just launched her own swimwear line for bigger busts, Uplifted the Label, continues, “I just have to focus on myself, my work, and my new business.”
Last August, Liberty, 25, and Joshua, 28, who had been a long-time friend, went public with him and made an appearance that he was in love with. After a failed romance with Jake Cornish on the 2021 series of Love Island, where Liberty left her co-star and the villa, the episode ended.

She has since appeared on Love Island spin-offs All Stars and The Games, but she has had a difficult time connecting with them. I’ve previously been alone, but I’ve never been able to handle it properly. I’m really trying to deal with it the right way and properly this time. I believe that when you experience a breakup, you learn a lot about yourself, who you are as a person, and what you want in the future, says Liberty.
And Liberty claims to be having a great time this summer when it comes to avenge a bad breakup. She continues, “I’m ready to travel, you’ll see me as an international girl,” and adds that she’s looking for Mr. Right as she travels.
She continues, “I feel like I’ve been in Birmingham long enough to realize that my husband won’t be there, I’m not going to find him there!” Next, we’re looking for a global baddie.

“I’d really like a businessman, so I’m looking for someone who is older and mature. I think starting my own business would work really well.”
Liberty is single just in time for a new season of Love Island: All Stars, but she says it’s unlikely we’ll see her on the show once more. I’ve done it three more times, and I believe my time at Love Island is over. And since I prefer people who aren’t typically in public, I’m looking for more. Someone who will back me, and I can back them.
Liberty confirmed her split from boyfriend of one year Joshua in an Instagram statement earlier this month, writing at the time: “: “Hi guys, just wanted to address this one time only. Josh and I are no longer together. I know I shared a lot of my relationship and happiness online I did that because I honestly believed this would be my happy ending and was it for me as far as dating went.”
Sadly, life isn’t a fairy tale. My first experience with much was this. First genuine love, first serious relationship, first first time having a partner, first time having a family member. No relationship is completely perfect without the addition of many unanticipated challenges.
There was no significant scandal or cheating, she continued. Just an unrecoverable communication deterioration. Josh and I have a mutually supportive relationship, and Josh and I both have fond memories of our union. I wish him the very best of luck in the future and sincerely hope he finds happiness, love, and peace.

“I’m going to keep focusing on my healing,” I said. Yes, I was simultaneously launching my business and going through a breakup. My love story is just a chapter away from being written.

I also wanted to say thank you to any strangers who stopped by and expressed condolences this past month. When a girl was down, you raised her. I sincerely hope you will continue to support me during the growth era of my boss. “Lover girl out for now. “
England’s fast bowler Mark Wood says he wants to play for Durham in the coming months as he prepares to start training for the Ashes series in Australia.
Wood, 35, has had knee surgery on a knee injury at the Champions Trophy in Pakistan and has missed since February, which is crucial to England’s chances of winning in Australia.
Prior to a setback, he had hoped to play his fifth Test against India earlier this month. Due to England’s prioritization of the winter, he was also omitted from the squad for the next two white-ball games against South Africa and Ireland in March.
Wood stated on the podcast titled “The injury is all right.”
Wood’s significance for England’s first Ashes victory since 2015 cannot be overstated.
They want a group of bowlers with the ability to create high pace in Australia, and Wood, who has had a number of injury issues throughout his career, is the quickest. They also have Jofra Archer, Josh Tongue, Brydon Carse, and Gus Atkinson as their options.
Wood may also be the only front-line bowler to have ever played a Test in Australia if Chris Woakes is unable to recover from a shoulder injury or is omitted. On the 2021-22 tour, he took 17 wickets, including nine in Hobart’s fifth test.
Durham has three County Championship games left this season: Essex starts on September 8, Worcestershire starts on September 15, and Yorkshire travels on September 24.
Wood said, “I’ll try to play one or two of those.”
“I’ve been very cautious and well looked after.”
They have this final destination where they want me to travel to Australia, so I value it.
However, I told England coach Brendon McCullum, Baz McCullum, that I couldn’t just bowl to the net for four months and would go crazy.
I’ll travel to Perth early with a few bowlers after going to a bowling camp in Loughborough in a tent and getting accustomed there.
We’ll arrive a week early to get ready and adjust, according to the schedule.
On his former channel, the former Sky News host urged men to “demand” a prostate cancer test.
Former Sky News presenter Dermot Murnaghan has admitted his diagnosis was “a bolt from the blue” as he found out he had stage four prostate cancer on holiday.
On his former television show, the TV host and journalist called on men to “demand” a prostate cancer test and for the government to launch screenings in full.
After receiving chemotherapy, 67-year-old Murnaghan said he is “feeling pretty good” in a statement to Anna Jones on Sky News.
However, he acknowledged that he didn’t experience the typical symptoms of prostate cancer, such as frequent or urgent urinations or the presence of blood, but that he “fell very ill on a foreign holiday,” which led to the discovery of the cancer.
According to Murnaghan, men “actually have to ask for it rather than be offered it as it frequently happens with other cancers because there is no formal screening program” for prostate cancer.”
He claimed that he would advise men of a certain age to “go and demand it” if there was no screening program.
Murnaghan remarked on how he deterred screening, “In my own case, I slipped through those gaps.

I foolishly spent many years speaking to people in your [presenter Anna Jones] position about this issue and asking men, especially those over 50, men in high risk groups who may have a family history of it to go to this screening…
And I kept thinking, “I’ll do that once I reach that age,” I kept thinking.
Life intervenes, jobs, children, holidays, etc., and I never did…
What transpired was that I fell extremely ill on a foreign holiday and promptly returned to this country to get treated by a wonderful health service, which gave me a real bolt from the blue.”
After being treated by the NHS and going for tests he was diagnosed with stage-four cancer.
He claimed that prostate-specific antigen (PSA) tests should be offered in the same way that cancer screenings are becoming more accurate and that they should be.
He said, “Think about the money you save, even though they might cost a little bit more.”

He continued, “Once you cross that milestone, go and demand it, your GP will eventually give you one,” while also urging men to get tested. Get prostate cancer if your family has it if it has a history.
He claimed that he had finished his own chemotherapy over the summer.
I finished my chemotherapy in the beginning of July, and I’ve since recovered. Just how it turns out, we’re anticipating it. But he continued, “I’m feeling pretty good.”
What do I do now that it has stopped, and you feel like you are actively doing something in the hands of wonderful medical professionals who know what they’re doing?
They can see how much it’s been accomplished, but I’m in the waiting and seeing phase.

It comes as a coalition of more than 60 cancer charities, known as One Cancer Voice, is warning the government must take urgent steps to tackle cancer care in England – including faster diagnosis targets and better prevention policies.
According to Cancer Research UK, there is no reliable test to identify cancer that needs treatment early because the UK does not have a national screening program for prostate cancer.

Jamie Oliver admits he has been battling a “really dangerous” health issue. The television chef rose to prominence in the 2000s when he launched The Naked Chef on BBC Two.
But his career took off 20 years ago with Jamie’s School Dinners, a television show that illuminated the state of school meals. Since then, he has hosted a number of cooking shows on television and become the second-best-selling author in the country, trailing only J. K. Rowling.
Now having turned 50, Jamie has decided to write a healthy cookbook. It comes as he started noticing the “cliche aches and pains” that come with ageing.
It implies that he has seen his body “as an engine” as opposed to something that “works for you without conditions.” The chef acknowledges that sleep and conflict have also gotten in the way.
Speaking to The Times, he said: “I have had the worst relationship with sleep. I am at the end of a decade of only three or four hours of sleep a night and it’s really dangerous.

This year, I’ll fix it, but I wake up at 4:30 am and don’t get home until 9 p.m. three times per week. It’s too much, “
Jamie claims he has a slipped disc in his back in addition to sleeping problems. He refers to the issue as “old-people stuff,” along with his pains and aches.
He acknowledges that being greedy has always been his unhealthy eating practice despite his reputation for tackling the country’s unhealthy eating habits. Jamie acknowledges that being greedy has always been his biggest issue despite claiming to have always had a “diversified diet.”
What is the sleep-related consensus in the NHS?
According to the NHS , sleep problems can be a common issue. There can be a wide range of causes behind sleep struggles, including work, illness, or even having a newborn baby.
While a few nights of bad sleep are considered okay, the NHS says it can become an issue if sleep problems affect your day-to-day life. The health service says long-term sleep issues can negatively impact both your physical and mental wellbeing.

According to the NHS, a healthy adult needs between seven and nine hours of sleep. Although individual needs may vary depending on individual circumstances and age, the exact amount of sleep is needed.
According to the NHS, “some people sleep lighter or take longer than others because they are anxious or worried about stressful situations or other life challenges.”
The only Welshman to ride a Derby winner, jockey legend Geoff Lewis, has passed away at the age of 89.
Lewis rode Mill Reef to victory at Epsom in 1971, cementing his place as one of Wales’ sporting greats.
Lewis, who was a prominent jockey on the flat from Talgarth, near Brecon, won five Classics and the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe in 1971, also on Mill Reef.
One of the best seasons in saddle riding has ever been crowned with winning the Derby in 1971.
With Mill Reef, he won the Derby, the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot, and the Paris Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, victories that are still etched in the sport’s history.
He also won the Lockinge, Coronation, the Oaks, and the Coronation Cup, effectively putting him on the verge of a lifetime.
Although Lewis’ family moved to London when he was a boy, his relationship with Wales endured forever.
Before jump jockey Tim Molony saw his build and suggested he try racing, he began his racing career at the Waldorf Hotel where he worked as a page boy.
He quickly rose up the ranks and rode his first winner at Epsom in 1953 as a trainee to Ron Smyth.
He had won big-race victories for Sir Winston Churchill and Queen Elizabeth II by the time he was first jockey at Kingsclere in 1957.
Mill Reef, the young colt who propelled a Welshman to racing immortality, was Mill Reef’s persona.
Lewis then won 880 victories in Britain, twice as a jockey as well as five Classic victories, and then partner one more.
After retiring as a jockey, Lewis turned his attention to reining and achieving success once more.
His stable, which was based in Epsom, included world champion sprinter Lake Coniston, who won the 1995 July Cup.
Lewis received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Welsh Horseback riding Awards in Cardiff in November 2024 as a celebration of his lifelong contribution to Welsh sport.
His daughter Mary, his grandchildren Lucie, and Alex collected the award on his behalf because he was too ill to show up in person.
