French far right scores big win in first round of election, polls show

Related media - News 24 hours Early projections indicate that the Rassemblement National party has won a landslide victory in the first round of elections for the French National Assembly, bringing the nationalist, anti-immigration party to power for the first time.

Iran votes in presidential elections despite low turnout

More news - Recent news Friday's Iranian presidential election saw a particularly low turnout, with early estimates indicating that only around 25% of eligible voters participated. This is a significant drop from the 70% turnout seen in previous elections and falls short of the 50% target set by ruling clerics, who see voter participation as a measure of their legitimacy. Years of economic hardship and severe social restrictions have left many Iranians disillusioned with politicians’ broken promises. For some, abstaining from voting is a way of expressing their rejection of the government. Reports from Tehran showed empty polling stations, with…

Fire at a lithium battery factory in South Korea: at least 22 dead

Related media - Latest news According to Kim, workers who fled the fire said the fire started when a single battery cell caught fire, triggering a series of explosions among some of the 35,000 lithium battery cells stored on the second floor of the factory. Lithium batteries can cause fires when the internal layers are compressed, causing a short circuit. The layers can be compressed by a sudden impact, such as during a vehicle collision, or by the gradual swelling of the batteries due to regular use.

However, their effectiveness wanes over a few months as immunity wanes and the virus continues to mutate. Data presented at a recent…
