Two British tourists, aged 27 and 29, drowned after jumping into a hotel pool in Albufeira, Portugal, in the early hours of Tuesday. Their bodies were found at the bottom of the swimming pool at the Duas Palmeiras hotel by a friend, who then called authorities. Emergency responders arrived around 4 a.m. and tried to resuscitate them, but both were pronounced dead at the scene.

Portuguese police said there were no signs of foul play. Investigators suspect the pair had been drinking and were unable to swim. They were reportedly on holiday with a group of friends.

Actor Jacky Heung, son of Hong Kong entertainment mogul Charles Heung, is being sued by MGM China Holdings for an unpaid gambling debt of HK$1.4 million (US$178,375). Court filings show Jacky borrowed HK$2 million from an MGM‑operated Macau casino in 2024 to exchange for chips but failed to repay as agreed. Under the loan terms, MGM China can charge 18% annual interest until full repayment and is seeking both principal and interest through a Hong Kong court.

The news shocked many online, as Jacky's father, Charles Heung, is a billionaire who built Win's Entertainment and China Star Entertainment, helping launch stars like Jet Li and Chow Yun Fat. Jacky, 41, has acted alongside top names in films such as From Vegas to Macau 3 and The Warlords but has struggled to gain critical acclaim. Despite his wealthy background, Jacky has admitted financial dependence on his wife, actress Bea Hayden, saying in 2020 that his own account held only HK$20,000.

Australian golf legend Greg Norman has been reappointed as Vietnam's tourism ambassador for 2025–2030, announced by Deputy Minister Ho An Phong on July 18. Norman, who previously held the role from 2018 to 2021, said he is proud to continue promoting Vietnam as a destination rich in culture, heritage, nature, and hospitality, alongside its growing reputation for golf tourism.

With over 175,000 followers on his media platforms, he plans to use his influence to highlight Vietnam's golf courses and support international tournaments, aiming to bring a world-class event to the country.

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism views his appointment as part of its “golf diplomacy” strategy, leveraging his global profile to connect Vietnam with international tourism and business communities. Known as “The Great White Shark,” Norman has over 90 titles and a net worth of about US$350 million. Active in Vietnam since 2006, he has designed three golf courses in the country.

A Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health study has revealed a significant cancer risk linked to childhood radiation exposure near Coldwater Creek, a Missouri tributary contaminated by nuclear waste from early atomic bomb development. Using data from 4,209 participants in the St. Louis Baby Tooth–Later Life Health Study, researchers found a clear dose‑response effect: 30% of those living within 0.6 miles of the creek reported cancer compared to 24% living over 12.4 miles away.

Solid cancer risk rose 52% for those closest, while radiosensitive cancers like thyroid, breast, leukemia, and basal cell rose 85%. The findings validate decades of local concerns and coincide with Congress expanding the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act in the Trump tax bill, granting residents near Coldwater Creek eligibility for medical compensation.

The research highlights health impacts from low‑level radiation—an area less studied than high‑dose exposures—and underscores the long‑term risks of nuclear waste as nations consider expanding nuclear energy and weapons programs.

Coconut water can be a helpful addition to a gout management plan when taken in moderation. Gout occurs when excess uric acid forms crystals in the joints, leading to pain and inflammation. According to Dr. Nguyen Anh Duy Tung of Nutrihome Nutrition Clinic, alongside medical treatment and a healthy lifestyle, drinking coconut water offers several supportive benefits. Its mild diuretic effect helps the body flush out uric acid, lowering the risk of crystal buildup.

Rich in potassium, magnesium, vitamin C, and bicarbonate, it replenishes electrolytes, helps maintain a slightly alkaline pH, and prevents hypokalemia in patients taking diuretics. Its antioxidants and enzymes provide mild anti-inflammatory effects, easing joint discomfort. Replacing sugary drinks or alcohol with coconut water also helps limit triggers that raise uric acid levels.

Additionally, staying well‑hydrated supports kidney function, which is important since gout can strain the kidneys. Dr. Tung advises limiting intake to one small coconut a day, ideally in the morning or afternoon, and consulting a doctor first if patients have diabetes, kidney issues, or electrolyte disorders. A balanced diet low in purine-rich foods, regular exercise, weight control, and ongoing medical check‑ups remain essential for effective gout management. Supplements like collagen peptides, chondroitin, and turmeric may further support joint health.
