A Chinese acrobat has died after falling to her death during a performance.

The woman fell during a flying-trapeze performance, on to a hard stage, after a routine went wrong.

She was taken to hospital, but died from her injuries.

Abbas seeks peace for Gaza with global leaders; Hamas rejects disarmament, emphasizing self-governance amid ongoing tensions.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has pledged to work with U.S. President Donald Trump, Saudi Arabia, France, and the United Nations on a new peace plan for Gaza. He says Gaza is an essential part of Palestine and called on Hamas to hand over control and disarm.

The UN General Assembly recently backed a declaration supporting a two-state solution and an end to the Gaza war. Abbas argued that this plan represents the only way forward to achieve peace and stability in the region.

Hamas, however, dismissed his remarks, vowing to maintain their weapons and self-governance until the occupation ends. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar also criticised Abbas, claiming he has failed to deal with terrorism effectively.

Shared responsibility is crucial for online safety, mirroring the layered approach of road safety systems

In Short:
– Online safety requires shared responsibility from parents, schools, governments, and tech companies.
– A cohesive approach is needed to enhance digital literacy and user security.

On this episode of Ticker Clicks, host Jacqueline Jayne asks the big questions: who is responsible for online safety?

As technology becomes integral to our lives, the question of shared responsibility grows more pressing. Everyone, from parents to tech companies, plays a role in online safety, yet clear structures are lacking.

To understand this, consider road safety: Parents educate children, schools reinforce lessons, and governments implement regulations.

In contrast, online safety lacks such a cohesive system.Parents often struggle to guide children on digital behaviour, while schools provide inconsistent lessons. Governments continue to lag in setting comprehensive protections, and tech companies frequently favour convenience over user safety.
