Bali tourist boat capsizes near Nusa Lembongan, all passengers rescued after dramatic scenes, footage emerges
There were dramatic scenes off the southeast coast of Bali on Wednesday when a tourist boat carrying dozens of passengers capsized near Nusa Lembongan. The vessel, known as The Tanis, had just left Lembongan Village with 89 people on board, 77 foreigners and 12 Indonesian nationals, when it was struck by a wave from behind around 4.30pm local time and began taking on water. Witnesses rushed to help as the boat tilted and passengers slid into the water. Rescue efforts ensured that all passengers were safely evacuated by 6.30pm, with no deaths or serious injuries reported. Divers have since searched the sunken boat and seabed as a precaution to confirm no one was left behind. @ posted the footage to their page.

Electric BMW M3 reveals its pumped up wheel arches
The first-ever BMW M3 EV has been spied on the street with more of its production body on show. It's been clear for a while now the electric 3 Series — possibly badged i3 — and the M3 spin-off will have styling based closely on the 2023 Vision Neue Klasse concept . Like the concept, the production i3/M3 has long, flat bonnet and boot lid, as well as low belt line. Up front there's a wide double kidney grille that blends seamlessly into the headlights. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now . At the back a strip of tail-lights lives high up near the boot lid. Unfortunately this car still isn't wearing production-ready lighting units. In the translation to production, the side windows have grown a little deeper and gained frames. Unlike the prototype spied at the beginning of the year , which had a circular disguise pattern on the fenders, we can now properly see bulging wheel arches that will be exclusive to the M3. Naturally the fatter fenders house the car's chunkier rubber and wider track. Our spy photography says this prototype was wearing 20-inch alloy wheels with 275/35 Michelin tyres at the front, and 295/35 rubber at the rear. The agency was also able to zoom in a bit to the interior, where we can see the dashboard features a large central touchscreen, but intriguingly no instrumentation panel directly ahead of the driver. That's because the production i3/M3 will use the new Panoramic iDrive system , which features a pillar-to-pillar digital display at the base of the windscreen for the instruments, compass, media, climate control, and other items. It's understood the M3 will have an electric motor for each wheel, and generate around 746kW in total or 1000hp in the old money. In order to entice performance heads over to the M3 EV, it will likely be quicker to 100km/h than today's 3.0-litre twin-turbo straight-six-powered M3 CS , which requires 3.4 seconds to bring up the century. Under the skin, the new i3/M3 will use BMW's Neue Klasse EV architecture. The first car based on the platform will be the next-generation iX3 SUV , which is expected to debut some time this year. This will be followed by the i3 in 2026, and the M3 should follow in either 2027 or 2028. MORE: Everything BMW M3

Hong Kong must reform its degree offerings to attract West's brightest
For decades, the flow of academic and scientific talent has been largely one way: East to West. China's brightest minds packed their bags for the universities of Harvard, Stanford, Oxford and Cambridge in pursuit of better teachers, better laboratories and a better future. This has changed. US and British universities are still magnets of global talent but are no longer unmatched. Chinese universities, once dismissed as rigid and third-tier, are now engines of scientific and technological advances . Western students who want to stay on the cutting edge ought to consider a move previously unthinkable: studying in China. After the second world war, the United States and Britain dominated higher education. They hosted Nobel laureates and pumped funding into research that pushed the frontiers of knowledge. Groundbreaking studies on DNA in Britain gave birth to the biotech industry. America's invention of the semiconductor chip and internet led to the electronics industry and digital revolution. English became the global academic language. Talent went West. The fundamental difference is that in the West, each university chases its own academic excellence and pursues independent research aspirations. In China, universities operate like a national team. Each institution plays a strategic role in a coordinated research jigsaw puzzle, collectively delivering tech breakthroughs.
