Wasps Meet Fallout: Highly Radioactive Nest Found at U.S. Nuclear Facility On 3 July, workers at the Savannah River Site stumbled upon a wasp nest with dangerously high radiation — over ten times the legal threshold. The nest was near storage tanks that still hold millions of gallons of liquid nuclear waste from the site’s Cold War weapons production. The Department of Energy reported no evidence of a leak. The contamination is believed to be from historical radioactive residue. The nest was neutralized and removed without harming people or the environment. Still, environmental groups are not convinced. "I’m as mad as a hornet," said watchdog Tom Clements, demanding clearer answers on where the radiation came from. Nairaland Pulse News | Subscribe

Jury Holds Tesla Liable in Fatal Crash, Autopilot Under Fire Again Tesla has been ordered to pay up to $243 million after a jury determined its Autopilot system contributed to a deadly 2019 crash in Florida. The lawsuit stemmed from an incident in which a Model S struck two pedestrians, killing one and injuring the other. The court ruled Tesla was responsible for failing to properly limit or warn against using Autopilot outside controlled-access highways. Testimony also highlighted CEO Elon Musk’s public claims that Autopilot was safer than human drivers, which attorneys argued misled consumers. While Tesla claims the driver was speeding and looking for his dropped phone during the crash, the jury still found the company partially at fault. Tesla called the verdict “wrong” and plans to appeal, warning that it may hinder automotive innovation and the development of autonomous technologies. Nairaland Pulse News | Subscribe

Strings vs. Steel: Jakarta’s Kite Flyers Tangle with Airport Officials Children near Soekarno-Hatta International Airport continue to fly kites despite repeated safety warnings from aviation authorities. The activity, deeply embedded in Indonesian tradition, has been linked to numerous flight disruptions and even a helicopter crash in Bali. Officials have confiscated kites, burned them, and tried to redirect youth to other sports like football and badminton. But with limited green space left in Jakarta, young kite-makers like 17-year-old Rasha say there’s nowhere else to go. As kites tangle with both planes and policies, the tug of war between culture and safety continues in Indonesia’s skies. Nairaland Pulse News | Subscribe

Trump Responds to Medvedev Threat with Submarine Maneuver In response to recent threats from Dmitry Medvedev, US President Donald Trump has deployed two nuclear submarines to undisclosed areas. Medvedev had lashed out against Trump’s new ceasefire ultimatum for Moscow, warning of retaliation. Trump, citing safety concerns and the seriousness of such remarks, emphasized the importance of words and their consequences. The White House did not confirm if the submarines are armed. The Kremlin has yet to respond publicly, but Trump warned Medvedev is “entering dangerous territory.” The tension escalates as Trump continues to pressure Russia to end the war in Ukraine by August 8, under threat of sanctions.

No Ceasefire, No Regret: Putin Shrugs Off Trump Pressure Vladimir Putin has rejected growing US pressure to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine, saying Russian forces are advancing and will not stop due to "inflated expectations". The Russian president made the comments on Friday, a day after a major airstrike on Kyiv killed 31 people, including children. Speaking from a monastery in northwest Russia, Putin said he welcomes continued talks with Ukraine but insisted his conditions — Ukrainian neutrality and recognition of Russian-occupied areas — remain unchanged. Putin addressed former US President Donald Trump’s warnings about sanctions and his expressed "disappointment" over the war’s continuation, saying: “All disappointments arise from inflated expectations.” The Kremlin leader implied Western hopes of halting Russia’s offensive are unrealistic. Zelensky said Ukraine is open to talks but doubts Russia’s sincerity, questioning if Moscow is just buying time to avoid sanctions. Trump's latest deadline for a ceasefire — 8 August — is fast approaching. If unmet, new sanctions on Russia and its oil buyers are expected. But Moscow appears unconcerned, with Putin and Belarusian leader Lukashenko ridiculing the ultimatum. Nairaland Pulse News | Subscribe

Trump’s Submarine Move Met With Kremlin Caution, Not Alarm Russia has responded coolly to Donald Trump’s announcement that two US submarines were moved to “appropriate regions” near its borders. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov dismissed the maneuver as routine and cautioned against inflammatory nuclear rhetoric. Meanwhile, the White House is sending special envoy Steve Witkoff to Moscow for high-level talks, as a looming US deadline for a Ukraine ceasefire approaches. Nairaland Pulse News | Subscribe

To Fend Off AI Rivals, Tesla Awards Musk $29B in Shares Amid what it calls a “war for AI talent,” Tesla has granted CEO Elon Musk $29 billion worth of shares, hoping to secure his focus as the company moves beyond electric vehicles into AI and robotics. The decision follows the nullification of Musk’s previous $50 billion compensation plan by a US court. Tesla's board said the new award should help boost Musk’s influence within the firm and keep him from diverting attention to his other ventures like xAI, Neuralink, and The Boring Company.
