Let’s take a look at the latest news in ‘The World Now’.
The search resumed in Indonesia on Tuesday for 35 people still missing after landslides at an illegal gold mine on the island of Sulawesi which killed at least 23.
Authorities said that they deployed a helicopter and hundreds of rescuers after torrential rain on Sunday triggered landslides that engulfed miners and residents in Gorontalo province, over 2,000 km east of the country’s capital, Jakarta.
The military and police were also involved in Tuesday’s rescue effort, among 400 personnel involved.
Authorities said that 66 survivors have been pulled out of the debris, but thick mud has been hindering rescue efforts.
Indonesia’s disaster agency also warned of potential risks from further rain.
One of Hollywood’s most iconic companies, Paramount Global, has agreed to merge with independent film studio Skydance Media. Paramount’s controlling shareholder, Shari Redstone, agreed to sell her stake to David Ellison’s Skydance for 8 billion U.S. dollars.
Under the agreement, Skydance will invest back some 8 billion dollars in merging their TV and movie production studio with Paramount, while additionally acquiring the Redstone family’s National Amusements which holds 77 percent of Paramount’s voting shares for 2-point-4 billion dollars.
While Paramount’s shares have fallen by more than 75 percent in the last five years, the studio created many hit films, such as the Godfather series, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Stark Trek, and the Mission: Impossible franchise.
The European Space Agency’s Ariane 6 rocket launched successfully on Tuesday on its maiden flight after a delay of four years.
Coming a year after the retirement of the predecessor Ariane 5, Europe’s newest unmanned rocket weighing 540 tonnes, and standing 56 meters tall, blasted off from the launchpad in Kourou, French Guiana.
Ariane 6, which cost some 4.3 billion U.S. dollars, began development in 2014 by the ArianeGroup, a joint venture between Airbus, and Safran after the European Space Agency nations agreed on the need to respond to growing competition in the commercial launch market.
