Sahara desert sands swallow ancient town and its trove of medieval manuscripts
From his roof, Sidi Mohamed Lemine Sidiya scans the medieval town of Oualata, a treasure that is disappearing under the sands of the Sahara desert. 'It's a magnificent, extraordinary town,' said Sidiya, who is battling to preserve the place known as the 'Shore of Eternity'. Oualata is one of a Unesco-listed quartet of ancient, fortified towns, or ksour, which in their heyday were trading and religious centres and now hold jewels dating back to the Middle Ages. Doors crafted from acacia wood and adorned with traditional motifs painted by local women still dot the town. Oualata's imam and caretaker of its library of medieval manuscripts, Mohamed Ben Baty, enters his traditionally decorated home in the Mauritanian town. Photo: AFP Centuries-old manuscripts, a rich source of cultural and literary heritage handed down through the generations, are also held in family libraries. But the town in the southeast of Mauritania near the border with Mali in northwest Africa is vulnerable to the ravages of the Sahara's extreme conditions.

Three people were killed and several others injured when they were struck by lightning while visiting Cambodia 's famous Angkor Wat temple complex. They had been seeking shelter around the main temple of the Unesco site when the lightning struck late on Friday afternoon. Videos posted on social media showed two ambulances arriving in the aftermath and onlookers and site officials carrying out some injured people and helping others out on foot. Other images showed multiple people being treated in hospital. The day after the incident, Cambodia's Minister of Tourism Hout Hak issued a statement telling people to take down online posts about it, saying the spreading of 'negative information' could harm the country's tourism sector. Authorities have released no information about the incident, but an official on Monday, speaking on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the issue, confirmed that three people – all Cambodian – were killed in the lightning strike. The Cambodian Red Cross also posted an update saying it had delivered care packages to the families of two of the victims, a 34-year-old man and a 52-year-old woman. The Red Cross refused to comment further by phone.

Actress Song Ji-hyo says ‘My mental strength broke down' making free diver documentary
Actress Song Ji-hyo takes on the challenge of becoming a haenyeo, a woman free diver who harvests seafood, on South Korea's Jeju Island in the JTBC-BBC joint documentary series Deep Dive Korea: Song Ji-hyo's Haenyeo Adventure. Advertisement In the three-part documentary, Song – best known for her appearance in Korea's longest-running variety show, Running Man – free dives alongside the veteran female divers with whom she shares a unique bond. Jeju's haenyeo culture, with a history dating back at least 400 years , was recognised for its unique cultural value and was listed as part of Unesco's Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2016. They are women who, even into their eighties, dive as deep as 20 metres (66 feet) without oxygen masks or modern equipment to collect shellfish to support both their families and their way of life. Recently, the Netflix series When Life Gives You Tangerines featured the story of the haenyeo, drawing significant public interest. The actress, whose aunt was a haenyeo, recalled the moment she received the project proposal. 'I immediately felt like it was meant for me. I wanted to do it so much that I hoped no one else would take it if I couldn't,' she said this week. Advertisement 'Even though I've been on Running Man for over 10 years, I wasn't finding much joy in the set, in acting or in my own life. I started to question whether I should keep acting in the same routine.
