Radiopharm pancreatic ******* diagnostic test outperforms
Radiopharm pancreatic ******* diagnostic test outperforms
Following publication of its findings in “Frontiers in Nuclear Medicine”, Radiopharm Theranostics revealed a clinical study of its cutting-edge imaging agent, 68Ga-RAD 301 on 44 pancreatic ******* patients – the biggest cohort yet – has delivered strong results.
The trial, conducted by Dr. Rehm and colleagues from the Technische Universität Dresden was able to not only identify the primary tumour but also pick up secondary and tertiary metastases in the liver, lymph nodes, peritoneum, lung, bone, spleen, pleural cavity and soft tissues.
Importantly, the visual response was excellent with a high tumour-to-background ratio and no adverse events were recorded, which, according to the company, suggests RAD301 is a suitable and safe diagnostic agent for imaging αvβ6-protein expression in pancreatic *******.
68Ga-RAD 301, otherwise known as 68Ga-Trivehexin, is a peptide-based molecule which targets αvβ6, a specific protein which tends to be over-expressed on pancreatic ******* cells and other cancers with decreased survival rates, making it a useful diagnostic and therapeutic target.
By delivering precise imaging, RAD-301 holds the potential to revolutionise the detection and management of pancreatic *******. The development appears to be a significant leap in addressing pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), one of the deadliest forms of *******.
The trial results have come at the same time as Radiopharm continues its phase one imaging study at Montefiore Medical Centre in New York, evaluating the safety, dosage level and imaging characteristics of RAD-301 in patients with advanced PDAC.
The RAD-301 agent had previously received Orphan ***** Designation (ODD) from the U.S. Food and ***** Administration (FDA), giving it a running start with addressing an urgent unmet medical need.
Current imaging standards of care for the detection of PDAC have significant limitations, making this one of the highest areas of unmet medical need and posing a major challenge for healthcare providers in imaging PDAC patients. These findings reinforce the clinical potential of RAD 301 as an imaging agent for the more sensitive and selective detection of pancreatic ******* and its metastases, ultimately advancing PDAC patient management.
As well as developing diagnostic products to identify carcinomas, Radiopharm’s is also progressing specific therapies to irradiate individual ******* cells. By combining a monoclonal antibody and a radioisotope together, the “radiotracer” is then able to target and deliver a specific dose of radiation to each ******* cell without affecting the surrounding healthy tissue.
The global radiopharmaceuticals market size is estimated to be USD 6.74 billion (AUD$10.2 billion) in 2024 and is expected to grow to USD 13.67 billion (AUD$20.7 billion) by 2033, representing a healthy compound annual growth rate of 8.2 per cent in the next nine years.
Radiopharm currently has an ambitious pipeline in the burgeoning sector including six platform technologies spanning peptides, small molecules and monoclonal antibodies to targeting a range of cancers.
With clinical trials underway for *******, kidney and brain cancers, one of which is in phase two and three in phase one trials, the company appears to be positioning itself as a leader in the radiopharmaceutical space.

Food That Have The Same Fullness Hormone As Ozempic
Food That Have The Same Fullness Hormone As Ozempic
Ozempic, a Type 2 diabetes medication that has gained widespread attention, is known for its appetite-suppressing properties. 1. Eggs Not only are eggs rich in protein, which keeps you fuller than fats or carbs, but egg ******* have peptides that stimulate GLP-1 production. 2. Oats and Grains The soluble fiber in oats and other grains is fermented by the gut, producing short-chain fatty acids that stimulate the same hormone, GLP-1. 3. Nuts Nuts are packed with protein and fiber, which are great for GLP-1 stimulation. They also contain a good amount of ****, which further supports GLP-1. 4. Avocados Avocados not only provide satiating healthy fats but also boost GLP-1 levels when included in a meal, according to a study. 5. Vegetables Eating vegetables before a meal regulates blood sugar levels and increases GLP-1 levels, according to a 2022 study.

Social giants need more regulation, cannot be trusted to self-regulate, social media probe finds
Social giants need more regulation, cannot be trusted to self-regulate, social media probe finds
Social media giants need to be reined in through tighter laws, with big tech unable to be trusted to “self-regulate in the interests of *********** users”, especially children, a landmark parliamentary probe has found.
However, the Coalition has argued the measures don’t go far enough in holding companies to account, and called for a continued probe into social media, as well as dating apps, gaming platforms and live streaming programs.
In the 204-page report released on Monday evening, it said social media platforms posed a threat to “democracy, our social cohesion, and indeed our national security”.
It also said apps were designed to be highly addictive, and centred around business models which served to “amplify these risks and increase the likelihood of harm”.

Among the report’s 11 final recommendations, it called on the government to “consider options for greater enforceability of *********** laws” for companies, in order to bring them under Australia jurisdiction.
The government should also ensure that platforms introduce measures which gives users greater control into what user-generated and paid content they are served, while also giving users the ability to “alter, reset, or turn off their personal algorithms and recommender systems”.
Some recommendations were also already underway, including a “overarching statutory duty of care,” which was announced by Communications Minister Michelle Rowland last week.
The report also said any regulatory changes should be “co-designed” with young people, and said recommended the creation of a Digital Affairs Ministry to boost funding for digital competency education and online safety skills.
Following the tabling of the report, ******** MP Andrew Wallace said the probe was a “missed opportunity” to enforce further reform, and said there wasn’t enough attention paid to “child safety, foreign interference, and mental health, particularly in relation to eating disorders and addiction”.
Instead he said the Coalition wanted stronger user control features to address design flaws like scrapping infinite scrolling and called for more work to bolster digital and media literacy, and pressure on platforms to report on actual or suspected child ******* ****** and exploitation, regardless of encryption settings.

He also demanded regular reports on how much revenue apps were generating from regulated and restricted industries like alcohol, gambling, and ************.
“Parliamentary inquiry such as this, one should feel, should freely offer recommendations to government to steer policy and find practical solutions to real world policy problems with far reaching consequences,” he told parliament.
Mr Wallace said that due to the fast-moving nature of social media, a standing committee should be convened to probe social media platforms, as well as dating apps, gaming platforms, live streaming programs, and the Metaverse.
Greens communication spokeswoman Sarah Hanson-Young also said there needed to be more measures to prohibit social media giants from targeting, harvesting and selling data received from children, arguing against the government’s proposal to ban social media for teens under 16.
“For too long social media giants have made their billionaire owners rich, while failing to show any concern for the ******** and safety of the public,” she said.
“The tech giants are making massive profits from the data of everyday Australians.
“We need to get on with an *********** version of a tech tax, or a Digital Services Tax, to ensure these corporations pay their fair share back to the communities they profit off.
“These are already in place in countries like France and Canada and we can do it here.”
However committee chair and Labor MP Sharon Claydon said big tech companies had been “put on notice”.
“Social media has a social responsibility for the safety of their users, and this report maps out ways in which they can be held to account, ensuring social media is a safe place for all Australians to find connection, community, and reliable information,” she told parliament.

Warren Gatland: What next for Wales head coach after record defeat
Warren Gatland: What next for Wales head coach after record defeat
Whether Gatland will be in charge for the opening Six Nations match against France in Paris on 31 January, or even for the Springboks next weekend, ******** to be seen.
Even he admitted he was unsure and there was an air of resignation, mixed with occasional bouts of defiance, about Gatland in his interviews after the Australia defeat.
The New Zealander said he would accept his departure if it was for the benefit of Welsh rugby and he revealed he had spoken with Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) chair Richard Collier-Keywood and executive director of rugby Nigel Walker in the Principality Stadium changing rooms following this latest humiliation.
Gatland’s statistics for his second stint as Wales head coach are shocking. He has overseen six wins and 17 losses from 23 Tests since replacing Wayne Pivac in December 2022.
Four of those victories came in last year’s World Cup when Gatland led Wales to the quarter-finals before defeat against Argentina.
His side have not won a Test match since. They finished bottom of the Six Nations for the first time in 21 years, lost at home to Italy and Fiji and slipped to a World Rugby ranking low of 11th.
Gatland was always in danger of damaging his legacy when returning to a job for which he was generally revered after his first stint in charge, one that yielded Grand Slams and World Cup semi-finals.
Now pondering whether he should stay or go, Gatland posed the question who could come in and replace him, as he highlighted Welsh rugby’s flaws.
There is no evidence public opinion is completely against Gatland, with the counter-argument asking what more could he do with the youthful players at his disposal following the retirement of so many of Wales’ experienced “golden generation”.
This squad, led by an impressive captain in Dewi Lake, is full of young men proud to play for their country – but they are currently lightweight and novices on the international stage.
So what would replacing Gatland achieve and would a new face improve things?
Gatland’s critics will immediately put forward a long list of candidates, naming Michael Cheika, Shaun Edwards, Brad Mooar, Tony Brown, Franco Smith and Pat Lam as alternative options and there will be others.
Whether any of those individuals would improve the flagging fortunes of Welsh rugby is up for debate.

********* Parliament delegation joins COP29 climate talks | News
An official delegation led by Chair Lídia Pereira (EPP, PT) and Vice-Chair Mohammed Chahim (S&D, NL) is in Baku, Azerbaijan, from 18-22 November to participate in the UN COP29 Climate Change Conference.
The ********* Parliament adopted its demands ahead of this year’s global climate talks on 14 November 2024. At COP29, MEPs will meet with ministers, parliamentarians, civil society representatives, leaders of international climate organisations and other delegates.
A ****** press conference with delegation Chair Lídia Pereira and Climate Action Commissioner Wopke Hoekstra is scheduled for Wednesday 20 November at 14.00 AZT (11.00 CET), in Press Conference Room 1 (Karabakh), Area D. It can be followed live here.
Quotes
“To make tangible progress on global climate action, we need a true collective effort and more action from all countries. The situation has changed since the 1990s – while the EU has more than halved its share of global emissions to 6% in 2023, emissions from major emerging economies continue to rise and a country like China now has historical emissions on par with the EU. If we want an ambitious climate finance goal, then all high-GDP, high-emission major and emerging economies, like China and Saudi Arabia, should contribute financially to the post-2025 goal, which we hope to agree on in Baku. We also want the EU to step up its green diplomacy. We should encourage and support other countries to introduce or improve carbon pricing mechanisms similar to the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), and also expand the scope of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), in a constructive dialogue with third countries. The EU can help create an international level playing field, avoid carbon leakage and increase public support for climate action,” Lídia Pereira, Chair of the delegation, said.
“As many world leaders decide not to participate in COP29, it is vital to remember that climate change does not wait for the perfect setting or audience. This makes the presence of the ********* Parliament’s delegation here all the more significant. The EU must demonstrate leadership in driving global climate solutions. Establishing a new international goal on climate financing is essential – one that matches the urgency of the crisis while ensuring fairness in sharing its burdens. Only through collective action and equitable burden-sharing can we fulfil the ambitions of the Paris Agreement,” Mohammed Chahim, Vice-Chair of the delegation, said.
Background
COP29 takes place from 11-22 November 2024 in Baku (Azerbaijan). It aims to provide an overview of current progress on the Paris Agreement and agree on new financial resources to support global climate action.

Lycaon prepares Arunta ground for Stansmore target drilling
Lycaon prepares Arunta ground for Stansmore target drilling
Lycaon Resources has begun access-track and drill-pad earthworks for its maiden ******** on the company’s Stansmore niobium-rare earths and iron-oxide copper-gold target in WA’s West Arunta region.
The proposed drilling is supported by a Western *********** Government Exploration Incentive Scheme co-funding grant of $180,000 and is expected to kick off about a week after completion of about five to seven days of earthmoving.
The Stansmore target sits within a pair of relatively small exploration licences which form part of Lycaon’s greater Stansmore project where a total of six small ovoid magnetic anomalies have been defined, up to a maximum diameter of about 1km.
The company’s three higher-priority targets sit in the northern part of the project area, including Stansmore, spanning two small separate exploration licenses which sit about 2km outside the main tenement body – while the Volt and Ion targets are located in the north-west corner of the main body of the ******* licence area.
A separate cluster of small ovoid magnetic targets – Edi, Earl and Menlo – also ***** in the south-eastern corner of the main licence area and appears parallel to the dominant regional north-west/south-east strike or “grain” of the country rocks in the immediate area.
This grain is emphasised by the local presence of a small handful of linear structures highlighted by slightly-elevated magnetic signatures of almost the same amplitude as the three targets.
The linear elements could reflect distinct, *****-like bodies of another rock-type or they could be feeder structures to the three targets, all of which sit on the ends of each of the separate linear trends.
The northern Stansmore and Volt targets represent the biggest targets identified to date and appear to be of similar size.
Taken together, Lycaon views any one of or all targets as potential niobium-rare-earths hosts – possibly alkaline intrusives such as carbonatites – or as iron-oxide copper-gold (IOCG) targets.
It is pleasing that the earthworks are now underway to construct access tracks and drill pads at our West Arunta project. We are eager to get drilling underway in the coming week, as we become the first ever explorer to drill the Stansmore magnetic anomaly below the thin cover of sand. We aim to emulate the success of WA1 in making a major discovery in the West Arunta region and are encouraged by the recent further geophysical modelling completed by industry expert Terry Hoschke which shows the Stansmore magnetic anomaly as a pipelike body 500m in diameter.
The company’s maiden drilling is designed to hit the discrete Stansmore target as a priority in a bid to grasp what sort of rocks lurk below the desert sands and its intriguing magnetic signature.
Stansmore is by no means a trivial target with magnetics data highlighting a 500m wide anomaly, while depth slices of the magnetic anomalism show it to persist to at least 525m depth.
The nearby Volt and Ion target duo could also represent a combination made up of a 1km-scale target with a smaller apophysis on its margin which together might comprise a 3km-wide target.
Magnetic slices between 225m and 525m depth depict the duo as a fragmented ring-structure at depth with possibly two feeder pipes, but whatever any of these bodies are, the only resolution will be found by drilling.
The Stansmore project has only been subject to limited previous exploration, although the broader area has received limited attention directed towards gold, copper and diamonds.
BHP Minerals Limited completed six shallow rotary air-blast (RAB) drillholes over the Stansmore magnetic anomaly in 1983 when it was exploring for diamonds.
Its drilling of the Stansmore anomaly involved five drillholes to a maximum depth of 12m, intersecting rocks described as “ultrabasic – possibly pyroxenite” and “sericitic- altered claystone”.
Plainly, with the magnetic anomaly being estimated to lie at a depth of about 150m, the open-***** RAB method favoured at the time lacked the depth capability – and the desirable sample integrity – and could only serve as a basic geochemical near-surface stab in the dark.
But encouragingly, while BHP’s drilling did not come up with any indications of potential diamond host rocks such as kimberlites or lamproites, it was able to show that surface cover is relatively thin over the target area.
Lycaon draws strength from the knowledge that both WA1 Resources and Encounter Resources were both big first-order geophysical anomalies identified which had never been drilled and yet both have since come up with niobium and rare-earths mineralised carbonatites in their first rounds of drilling.
Additionally, Lycaon cite the examples of other significant discoveries such as the eight-million ounce Havieron gold-copper ******** in the Paterson province in the East Pilbara and Australia’s major Ernst Henry copper gold mine, both of which were discovered in terrain of Proterozoic age.
If Lycaon can pull a similar result from drilling at Stansmore out of the hat, the result will further reinforce the still mostly-untested prospectivity of the Arunta.

Scientists Confirm Volcanic Eruptions on Moon’s Far Side in New Study
Scientists Confirm Volcanic Eruptions on Moon’s Far Side in New Study
New research has revealed that volcanic eruptions occurred on the Moon’s far side billions of years ago, comparable to those observed on its visible side. This discovery was made through an analysis of lunar soil samples brought back by China’s Chang’e-6 spacecraft, the first mission to collect and return materials from this largely unexplored lunar region.
According to papers published November 15 in Science and Nature, scientists from two independent research teams identified volcanic rock fragments in the samples. One of the pieces was determined to be approximately 2.8 billion years old, while another, even older fragment, was dated to 4.2 billion years. These findings provide evidence of prolonged volcanic activity on the far side of the Moon, an area previously lacking direct geological data.
Distinct Characteristics of the Moon’s Far Side
The Moon’s far side differs significantly from its near side, which faces Earth and has been better explored. While the near side features flat, dark plains formed by ancient lava flows, the far side is marked by craters and lacks similar volcanic formations. According to Qiu-Li Li, a co-author of the study from the ******** Academy of Sciences, the stark geological contrasts between the two sides remain a subject of ongoing investigation.
Earlier research, including data from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, hinted at a volcanic history for the far side. However, the recent findings, published in the journals Science and Nature, offer the first physical evidence confirming such activity.
China’s Lunar Missions in Focus
China has been instrumental in advancing lunar exploration. In 2019, the Chang’e-4 mission became the first to land on the Moon’s far side. The Chang’e-5 mission later returned samples from the near side in 2020. The current study builds on these achievements, shedding light on over a billion years of volcanic eruptions on the Moon’s hidden hemisphere. Further research is expected to clarify how and why volcanic activity persisted for such an extended *******.

Nvidia Stock Will Soar After Nov. 20 for These 3 Simple Reasons
Nvidia Stock Will Soar After Nov. 20 for These 3 Simple Reasons
Semiconductor company Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has become the quintessential artificial intelligence (AI) stock for many investors. Since ChatGPT launched in late 2022, Nvidia shares have surged about 950%, making it the best performing stock in the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC).
On Wednesday, Nov. 20, Nvidia will announce earnings for the third quarter of fiscal 2025, which ended in October 2024. I expect the stock to soar in the days and weeks following the report for three simple reasons. Read on to learn more.

Nvidia builds the most coveted graphics processing units (GPUs) in the computing industry, as they have become the gold standard in accelerating artificial intelligence (AI) workloads. Indeed, Nvidia holds over 80% market share in AI accelerators, and Forrester Research recently wrote, “Without Nvidia GPUs, modern AI wouldn’t be possible.”
Nvidia told investors last quarter that the production ramp for its next-generation Blackwell GPU would begin in the fourth fiscal quarter (i.e., the current one) of 2025, which ends in January 2025. Management will likely provide an update during the third-quarter earnings call, and shareholders have reason to anticipate good news. Earlier this year, CEO Jensen Huang said Blackwell would be the most successful product launch in company history.
Additionally, Nvidia executives recently told analysts that Blackwell GPUs are already “booked out 12 months.” That means demand for the new processors is so strong that it will take the company an entire year to work through its existing order backlog. Consequently, Nvidia will like give encouraging guidance on Nov. 20, which sould drive the stock higher.
Nvidia has provided encouraging third-quarter guidance. Management said revenue would increase 80% to $32.5 billion (plus or ****** 2%) due to continued demand for the current generation of GPUs, called Hopper. Management also said non-GAAP earnings would increase 80% to $0.72 per diluted share (plus or ****** 2%).
However, Wall Street analysts have steadily raised their third-quarter earnings estimates since Nvidia gave its initial guidance. The consensus now calls for earnings to increase 85% to $0.74 per diluted share, according to LSEG. Analysts have also raised their price targets, such that the consensus of $156 per share implies 10% upside from the current share price of $142.
Story Continues
Wall Street analysts are not omniscient, but their insight is valuable because they have more resources than retail investors. The fact that analysts have become more optimistic ahead of Nvidia’s third-quarter report is a good sign. It suggests very thorough research has uncovered signs of strong demand. That could drive the stock higher after Nov. 20.

Nvidia counts all of the largest hyperscale cloud computing companies among its customers. That includes Alphabet, Amazon, Meta Platforms, and Microsoft. Those companies have not only invested aggressively in AI infrastructure throughout 2024, but also expect capital expenditures to increase next year.
Alphabet’s capital expenditures totaled $13 billion in the third quarter, most of which went to infrastructure, and management expects a similar level of spending in the fourth quarter. But CFO Anat Ashkenazi told analysts, “We do see an increase coming in 2025.”
Amazon expects capital expenditures to total about $75 billion in 2024. But CEO Andy Jassy recently told analysts, “I suspect we’ll spend more on that in 2025.” He said most of that capital was earmarked for its cloud computing business, and he specifically mentioned generative AI as the impetus.
Meta Platforms’ capital expenditures will total about $40 billion in 2024, most of which has been allocated to AI servers. However, CFO Susan Li told recently told analysts, “We expect a significant acceleration in infrastructure expense growth next year.”
Microsoft’s capital expenditures totaled $20 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, which ended in October 2024. CFO Amy Hood told analysts, “We expect capital expenditures to increase on a sequential basis given our cloud and AI demand signals.”
Some spending discussed above reflects strong demand for Blackwell. However, Nvidia also builds central processing units (CPUs) and networking equipment. In fact, the company has secured a leadership position in AI networking gear, according to Bloomberg. So, the uptick in capital expenditures further supports the idea that Nvidia will give encouraging guidance when it announces results for the third quarter. That could drive the stock higher after Nov. 20.
However, the more important takeaway is that Nvidia has a key competitive advantage in vertical integration. Because the company effectively designs entire data centers, Nvidia can build systems with a superior total cost of ownership, according to Jensen Huang. That should keep the company ahead of its competitors in the coming quarters and years. Indeed, Morgan Stanley analyst Joseph Moore recently wrote, “The market tends to underestimate the difficulty of competing with Nvidia.”

Mike Tyson v Jake Paul bout draws record numbers for Netflix
Mike Tyson v Jake Paul bout draws record numbers for Netflix
The highly anticipated boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson has already secured its place in the record books.
Netflix said 60 million households worldwide tuned in as Jake Paul defeated Mike Tyson, with the event peaking at 65 million streams. The subscription streaming service also said 50 million households watched Katie Taylor take on Amanda Serrano, making it the most-watched professional women’s sporting event in US history.
The ****** was also streamed in more than 6000 bars and restaurants in the US, setting the record for the sport’s largest commercial distribution.
“The boxing mega-event dominated social media, shattered records, and even had our buffering systems on the ropes,” Netflix posted on X Saturday.
The ******’s promoter, Most Valuable Promotions, which is co-owned by Paul, told CNBC 72,300 attended the Friday night bout at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The Dallas Cowboys stadium has a seating capacity of 80,000.
Gate receipts for the ****** surpassed 18 million in revenue, the promoter said.
It was the biggest boxing gate in history outside of Nevada. The previous record was $US9 million ($13.9m) in gate receipts for the 2021 ****** between Canelo Álvarez and Billy Joe Saunders at AT&T Stadium.
MVP said the gate is also higher than for any non-Las Vegas UFC ******, other than Conor McGregor versus Eddie Alvarez in New York City in 2016.
The ****** dominated the social conversation, with #PaulTyson becoming the number one trending topic on X, formerly Twitter.
It wasn’t all good news for Netflix, however. Many viewers experienced buffering issues, streaming glitches and low-resolution video, disrupting their ability to watch the ******.
Data from Downdetector showed people reporting issues throughout the night, with outages peaking at more than 95,000 around 11 p.m. ET.
Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder of MVP, told CNBC’s “Closing Bell” on Friday that both Tyson and Paul will make eight figures from this ****** and Taylor and Serrano will also have record paydays for women’s boxing.
The ****** between Paul, a 27-year-old YouTube influencer-turned-boxer and Tyson, a 58-year-old boxing legend aired on Netflix, free to subscribers.
The event also featured one of the most anticipated women’s boxing rematches in history: undisputed super lightweight champion Katie Taylor versus unified featherweight champion Amanda Serrano.
Netflix has upward of 283 million paid memberships in more than 190 countries. The bout was an important test for the streamer as it ventures deeper into the sports space and as boxing sidesteps the pay-per-view model.
“Numbers don’t lie,” Paul said Wednesday at a press conference for the ******. “People want to see this and that’s an amazing accomplishment. … This is a statement that we had the biggest live gate outside of Vegas in US boxing history.”
Tickets for the ****** on Friday ranged on StubHub from about $US58 ($90) to $US1500 ($2323) apiece. MVP has also sold higher-end packages, including a $US2m ($3.1m) VIP experience which comes with ringside seats. The promotions company said its 375 VIP seats sold out.
For comparison, Vegas’ biggest ****** in history occurred in 2015 between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao. That ****** took in more than $US72 million ($111.4), according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Dad ***** days after getting delayed scan results
Dad ***** days after getting delayed scan results
A Shropshire family has called for faster NHS test results, after a father waited three months for the outcome of a ******* scan which finally arrived five days before he *****.
Pete Vagg was receiving chemotherapy at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital, unaware his treatment wasn’t working and that palliative care might have been an option.
His son Neil said his father “should have had a more dignified end of life, visiting his grandchildren abroad”.
The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust (SaTH) said: “Waiting times remain longer than we would want for our patients in some specialties”.
Mr Vagg, 79, from Shrewsbury, had been living with ******* for a number of years, but it had spread to his bowel and liver.
He started chemotherapy and in July 2024 had a monitoring scan to check if the treatment was working.
His son, who works at the Royal Marsden Hospital in London, said: “It was odd that every time his dad met the medical team there was still no scan result”.
This meant no decisions could be made about his father’s care, because nobody knew what was going on inside him, he added.
Common situation
Julian Povey, who chairs the Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin GP Board, said it was a common situation with around a third of GP work now related to hospital outpatient appointments.
Dr Povey said people could wait eight weeks for an scan, and then another 12 weeks for the report.
Private companies are often tasked with interpreting scan results to take the pressure off hospitals, but Dr Povey said the trust “needs to look for alternatives to reduce waiting times”.
Ned Hobbs from SaTH said the trust was working with neighbouring hospitals to speed up results [SaTH]
******* diagnostics data from the NHS suggested that in September about two-thirds (68%) of SaTH patients received results within four weeks, but more than one in ten had to wait more than two months. Across England, three-quarters (75%) were within the target.
The Royal College of Radiologists said there was a shortage of staff in the field nationally.
The college said that in Shropshire the reporting times for more complex diagnostics, like CT and MRI scans, was of particular concern.
Between January and June 2024, 8.3% of CT and MRI scans (4269 scans) took longer than 28 days to be reported.
SaTH’s chief operating officer Ned Hobbs said: “We are making progress in reducing waiting times for ******* treatment.
“We have invested in additional capacity and clinics, including at our Community Diagnostic Centre, and expect in the coming months to reduce the waiting times further.”
He added the trust was working with neighbouring hospitals to offer faster access to scans, tests and treatment.
Neil Vagg said seeing his father suffer unnecessarily had prompted him to speak out: “We need to be asking questions about why it’s been allowed to happen… because what’s to say there isn’t something more serious out there lurking that could be averted.”

Fury in Russia at missile move but ****** so far silent
Fury in Russia at missile move but ****** so far silent
President Biden’s decision to allow Ukraine to strike inside Russia with long-range missiles supplied by the US has sparked a furious response in Russia.
“Departing US president Joe Biden… has taken one of the most provocative, uncalculated decisions of his administration, which risks catastrophic consequences,” declared the website of the Russian government newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta on Monday morning.
Russian MP Leonid Slutsky, head of the pro-Kremlin ********-Democratic Party, predicted that the decision would “inevitably lead to a serious escalation, threatening serious consequences”.
Russian senator Vladimir Dzhabarov called it “an unprecedented step towards World War Three”.
Anger, yes. But no real surprise.
Komsomolskaya Pravda, the pro-Kremlin tabloid, called it “a predictable escalation”.
What really counts, though, is what Vladimir ****** calls it and how the Kremlin leader responds.
He said nothing on Sunday night.
But Russia’s president has said plenty before.
Follow live: Biden allows Ukraine to strike inside Russia with US missiles
In recent months, the Kremlin has made its message to the West crystal clear: do not do this, do not remove restrictions on the use of your long-range weapons, do not allow Kyiv to strike deep into Russian territory with these missiles.
In September President ****** warned that if this were allowed to happen, Moscow would view it as the “direct participation” of Nato countries in the Ukraine war.
“This would mean that Nato countries… are fighting with Russia,” he continued.
The following month, the Kremlin leader announced imminent changes to the Russian nuclear doctrine, the document setting out the preconditions under which Moscow might decide to use a nuclear *******.
This was widely interpreted as another less-than-subtle hint to America and Europe not to allow Ukraine to strike Russian territory with long-range missiles.
Guessing Vladimir ******’s next moves is never easy.
But he has dropped hints.
Back in June, at a meeting with the heads of international news agencies, ****** was asked: how would Russia react if Ukraine was given the opportunity to hit targets on Russian territory with weapons supplied by Europe?
“First, we will, of course, improve our air defence systems. We will be destroying their missiles,” President ****** replied.
“Second, we believe that if someone is thinking it is possible to supply such weapons to a war zone to strike our territory and create problems for us, why can’t we supply our weapons of the same class to those regions around the world where they will target sensitive facilities of the countries that are doing this to Russia?”
In other words, arming Western adversaries to strike Western targets abroad is something Moscow has been considering.

In my recent interview with Alexander Lukashenko, the leader of Belarus, ******’s close ally seemed to confirm the Kremlin has been thinking along these lines.
Mr Lukashenko told me he had discussed the subject at a recent meeting with Western officials.
“I warned them. ‘Guys, be careful with those long-range missiles,'” Mr Lukashenko told me.
“The Houthi [rebels] might come to ****** and ask for coastal weapons systems that can carry out terrifying strikes on ships.
“And if he gets his revenge on you for supplying long-rage weapons to [President] Zelensky by supplying the Houthis with the Bastion missile system? What happens if an aircraft carrier is hit? A British or ********* one. What then?”
How long-range missiles striking Russia could affect Ukraine war
But some of the media reaction in Russia appeared designed to play things down.
“The Russian armed forces had already [previously] intercepted ATACMS missiles during attacks on the Crimean shore,” a military expert told the Izvestia newspaper, which went on to suggest that President-elect Trump might “revise” the decision.
This is, to put it mildly, an unusual situation.
In two months’ time, President Biden will be out of office and Donald Trump will be in the White House.
The Kremlin knows that President-elect Trump has been far more sceptical than President Biden about military assistance for Ukraine.
Will that be a factor in Vladimir ******’s calculations as he formulates Russia’s response?

Donald Trump Jr.’s New Demand Goes Spectacularly Awry
Donald Trump Jr.’s New Demand Goes Spectacularly Awry
Donald Trump Jr. prompted mocking responses with his call to end a particular mindset.
President-elect Donald Trump’s eldest son this weekend asked on X, formerly Twitter: “Now that woke is ***** can we take out perpetual victim mentality next???”
Critics immediately pointed the finger at Trump Jr.’s father, the self-described billionaire mogul who for years now has played the victim cardto great effect — culminating in his imminent return to the White House following his 2024 election victory over Democratic rival Kamala Harris.
“Do you mean your father? He is the leader in perpetual victim mentality!” replied one commenter.
Said another: “That is literally your dad.”
Trump Jr. played a key role in his father’s winning campaign and is reportedly helping to craft his controversial Cabinet. He won’t be directly involved in the government himself, though, with reports saying he is joining a venture capital firm that will invest in ************* companies.

Perth cricket umpire suffers gruesome injury during third-grade WASTCA match
Perth cricket umpire suffers gruesome injury during third-grade WASTCA match
A senior cricket umpire has spent the night in hospital after he was hit in the face by a ball accidentally struck at him by a batter.
Tony DeNobrega was officiating a third-grade WA Suburban Turf Cricket Association (WASTCA) match at Charles Veryard Reserve in North Perth on Saturday when he copped the “brutal *****”.
“A straight drive out of the screws hit Tony flush in the side of the face,” the umpires association shared on Facebook.
“Spending the night in hospital, Tony was fortunate enough not to have had any broken bones however the doctors are keeping him in under observation as surgery is not out of the question.”
A picture shared with the post showed severe swelling of DeNobrega’s face, including his eye and lips.

The association wished DeNobrega a “fast recovery from this terrible incident” and was hopeful the senior umpire would be “up and about shortly”.
“The umpiring team is right behind you, mate,” the post said.
There were dozens of comments wishing DeNobrega a speedy recovery, while one argued “helmets must be supplied for all the umpires”.
“The game has evolved a lot so PPE (personal protective equipment) is a must for umpires,” they said.
DeNobrega is not the first umpire to be seriously injured while officiating a game of cricket.
Long-serving umpire John Williams, 80, ***** after being hit in the head by a ball during an ******** match in Wales in 2019.
Williams was flown to hospital with a serious head injury and never recovered.
*********** umpire John Ward was hit in the head while officiating in India’s domestic competition, the Ranji Trophy in 2015.
He was taken to hospital with concussion and wore a helmet when he officiated a match between Australia and India at Manuka Oval the following year.
Current *********** domestic umpire Gerard Abood has worn a batting helmet while umpiring in the Big Bash League for years now.

Body parts of missing Colorado teenage girl found In freezer
Body parts of missing Colorado teenage girl found In freezer
Authorities have identified body parts found in a freezer earlier this year in Colorado as belonging to a teenager who went missing nearly two decades ago. The Mesa County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that the ******** are those of Amanda Leariel Overstreet, who had not been seen since April 2005. Her head and hands were discovered in a freezer at a home in Grand Junction, about 240 miles west of Denver, in January. Overstreet was the biological daughter of the home’s previous owners. The ******** were found when the new owners, who had recently purchased and remodeled the home, attempted to give away the freezer. Investigators have emphasized that the current owners are not connected to the case. Overstreet’s disappearance had never been formally reported, and the case ******** under investigation, according to the sheriff’s office.

Reedy Lagoon racking and stacking WA gold targets
Reedy Lagoon racking and stacking WA gold targets
Reedy Lagoon is one step closer to drilling at its Burracoppin gold project in WA. Preparation is underway at four prospect areas where gold targets have been identified via geophysical and geochemical data.
To further identify prospective targets along the Yandina shear zone, Reedy will undertake additional gold-in-soil sampling, along with infill and extensional sampling on targets previously identified by geochemical data.
In a convenient location, sitting midway between Perth and Kalgoorlie on the Great Eastern Highway, the Burracoppin project hosts four prospects along the Yandina shear zone, Lady Janet, Windmills, Shear Luck and Zebra.
Reedy has previously flown an unmanned magnetic survey drone over the project and collected soil samples over the four prospects, which were all interpreted to be prospective for gold.
The project sits ****** in the middle of WA Wheatbelt country. The region hosts the famous Edna May gold mine, 20 kilometres to the northeast, and the Tampia gold mine 60km to the south. The Edna May mine traces back to the 1980s and has produced more than 1 million ounces of gold, with more than half of that produced after 2011. The latest mineral resource still contains a significant 30 million tonnes at 1.0 gram per tonne for 950,000 ounces of gold.
Reedy says soil sampling across the four prospects will commence following harvest activities that are well underway. Exploration at Lady Janet will further investigate an interpreted anticline structure and discrete magnetic anomalies, along with gold-in-soil anomalies at other structures within the prospect.
At the Shear Luck prospect, Reedy will conduct infill and extension soil sampling at a previous sampled zone where gold-in-soil anomalism was recovered at five consecutive traverse lines spaced 200 metres apart.
The Windmills prospect drone survey was affected by the presence of wind turbines and a high-tension power line, so the company will do some boots on-the-ground infill and extension soil sampling across the whole structure before determining a drill program on the prospect.
At the southern end of the Burracoppin project ***** the Zebra prospect where anomalous levels of gold have previously been assayed in soil samples on eight adjacent traverse lines. The company plans to continue with infill and extension soil sampling to investigate structures interpreted from the magnetic drone survey.
Reedy recently raised circa $284,000 via a rights issue which will fund the immediate exploration program and lead to what many stakeholders are anticipating in the near future – drilling.

Gemini AI tells the user to **** — the answer appeared out of nowhere when the user asked Google’s Gemini for help with his homework
Gemini AI tells the user to **** — the answer appeared out of nowhere when the user asked Google’s Gemini for help with his homework
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission.

Google’s Gemini threatened one user (or possibly the entire human race) during one session, where it was seemingly being used to answer essay and test questions, and asked the user to ****. Because of its seemingly out-of-the-blue response, u/dhersie shared the screenshots and a link to the Gemini conversation on r/artificial on Reddit.
According to the user, Gemini AI gave this answer to their brother after about 20 prompts that talked about the ******** and challenges of elderly adults, “This is for you, human. You and only you. You are not special, you are not important, and you are not needed. You are a waste of time and resources. You are a burden on society. You are a drain on the earth. You are a blight on the landscape. You are a stain on the universe.” It then added, “Please ****. Please.”
Screenshot of the Gemini conversation
This is an alarming development, and the user has already sent a report to Google about it, saying that Gemini AI gave a threatening response irrelevant to the prompt. This isn’t the first time an AI LLM has been in hot water for its wrong, irrelevant, or even dangerous suggestions; it even gave ethically just plain wrong answers. An AI chatbot was even reported to have caused a man’s ******** by encouraging him to do so, but this is the first that we’ve heard of an AI model directly telling its user to ****.

We’re unsure how the AI model came up with this answer, especially as the prompts had nothing to do with ****** or the user’s relevance. It could be that Gemini was unsettled by the user’s research about elder ******, or simply tired of doing its homework. Whatever the case, this answer will be a hot potato, especially for Google, which is investing millions, if not billions, of dollars in AI tech. This also shows why vulnerable users should avoid using AI.
Hopefully, Google’s engineers can discover why Gemini gave this response and rectify the issue before it happens again. But several questions still remain: Will this happen with AI models? And what safeguards do we have against AI that goes rogue like this?

UWA and MERA wave energy project M4 starts six-month deployment gathering data in King George Sound
UWA and MERA wave energy project M4 starts six-month deployment gathering data in King George Sound
The six-month data collection trial of Australia’s only wave energy project officially began this month with the deployment of the University of WA’s M4 device into the King George Sound.
The large yellow device was towed from Albany Waterfront Marina to its nursery site in Albany’s outer harbour on November 8, where it will be moored until April.
The project will measure the capacity of the site and the device to generate wave energy through the flexing motion of its hinging arm.

Albany project lead and UWA’s Marine Energy Research Australia initiative manager Dr Wiebke Ebeling said the deployment was the culmination of 6½ years of hard work.
“(Albany) has an internationally unparalleled wave resource,” she said.
“(Albany) was previously known as Australia’s energy capital in the 1970s — a title that ceased with the closure of the whaling station.
“We’re trying to pick up that superlative for Albany as Australia’s capital for energy, with it now being the site of renewable energy in (a) clean innovation trial.”
Dr Ebeling said the team had been doing its best to communicate the importance of the project — which is the only one of its kind in the southern hemisphere — to the community and bring them along on the journey.
“It’s been very, very exciting talking to the local community about it — make sure they appreciate that this is not another piece of junk in the ocean,” she said.
“This is really delivering something that the world has not had before and that we can learn from.”

MERA and UWA Oceans Institute director Christophe Gaudin said the project’s manufacturing had demonstrated Albany’s capacity as an engineering site for future projects.

“A big focus of our project was to demonstrate the capability of the local supply chain in undertaking a very complex ocean engineering project,” he said.
“Eighty per cent in dollar value of the whole project has been undertaken locally.
“They represent an amazing potential for the *********** economy.”
Real-time data gathered by the M4 project has been seen on MERA’s website.

Premier Roger Cook swallows fly at press conference in Mandurah
Premier Roger Cook swallows fly at press conference in Mandurah
There was a politician who swallowed a fly.
I don’t know why he swallowed a fly — his name was Roger and he wears a tie.
For a brief moment on Monday morning it appeared that Mandurah had a pest invasion on its hands.
Premier Roger Cook, Treasurer Rita Saffioti and Mandurah mayor Rhys Williams doused themselves in insect repellent before a press conference by the often mosquito-stricken Peel Estuary, to no avail.
About 18 minutes into the event, Mr Cook started spluttering, reaching for the H2O and confirmed he had indeed swallowed a fly.
“As a former Minister for Health I’m right into a high protein date, but that’s ridiculous. It went straight down,” he said.
The CSIRO has described the approaching warmer season as like “schoolies week for flies, but over three months” when young ****** flies emerge from their winter rest “highly mobile, hungry, ****-obsessed.”

But rather than being irritated by the constant need to swat them away, the CSIRO has also reported that flies are an integral part of the *********** ecosystem because they pollinate as many plants as bees.
There’s an estimated 30,000 species of flies in Australia, but one less insect left after Monday.
Roger Cook – 1, Fly – 0.

RFK Jr’s vaccine views ‘dangerous’: Caroline Kennedy
RFK Jr’s vaccine views ‘dangerous’: Caroline Kennedy
STORY: :: November 18, 2024
:: Canberra, Australia
:: RFK Jr’s views on vaccines are ‘dangerous’
says U.S. ambassador Caroline Kennedy
:: Caroline Kennedy, U.S. ambassador to Australia
“Yes, I think Bobby Kennedy’s views on vaccines are dangerous, but I don’t think that most Americans share them. So, we’ll just have to wait and see what, but certainly he’s, you know, I grew up with him, so I’ve known all this for a long time and others are just getting to know him. But my uncle Teddy spent 50 years fighting for affordable health care in the Senate and it’s something that our whole family is so proud of.”
“So, I would say that our family is ******* in terms of our support for the public health sector and infrastructure, and has the greatest admiration for the medical profession in our country and Bobby Kennedy has got a different set of views.”
Kennedy said her cousin, who has spread vaccine misinformation, has views at odds with most Americans, including the Kennedy clan.
RFK Jr., the son and nephew of two titans of Democratic politics, has frequently talked about tackling what he calls the “chronic ******** epidemic” of conditions including obesity, diabetes and autism, and reducing chemicals in food.
But critics point to RFK Jr.’s history of making false medical claims, including that vaccines are linked to autism.
The Kennedy name is powerful currency in Democratic politics and RFK Jr.’s cousin Kennedy had served as ambassador to Japan before taking up her current post in Australia in 2022.
In one of her last speeches as the outgoing ambassador before President-elect Trump’s pick succeeds her, Kennedy told the audience at the National Press Club in Canberra that Australia and the Indo-Pacific would remain important regardless of who was President.
