A 20-year-old man named Garrett Michael Highlander was arrested in Virginia, USA, on charges of being part of child pornography sharing networks on Discord. He used the pseudonym "MrChildPorn" and attempted to use artificial intelligence tools to locate explicit images of minors. The arrest occurred on Saturday (8/21) during the execution of a search warrant in Morgantown. The case began after NCMEC forwarded 48 reports about the suspect's conduct, who publicly bragged about possessing a vast collection of illegal materials. The investigations revealed that Highlander was responsible for sending the criminal files directly through messages on the platform.

Dramatic images captured the moment a flash flood dragged a massive boulder at the border between Nepal and China. The flooding was caused by a glacier collapse and caused devastation in communities and infrastructure in the region.
Scientists identified that the collapse of a glacier was one of the main causes of the catastrophic flood that hit Nepal and Tibet. In addition to glacial melting, researchers also point to the significant contribution of an intense and persistent rainfall that fell in the region before the disaster, worsening the situation and contributing to the magnitude of the flood.
