AU launches ‘Beat the Heat with AU' initiative
KUWAIT: In line with its commitment to corporate social responsibility and environmental responsibility, the Australian University (AU) launched its 'Beat the Heat with AU' initiative which aimed to support underprivileged gas station attendants. As part of the campaign, AU students and staff members visited numerous fuel stations across Kuwait to personally distribute durable and reusable water bottles to attendants, offering both immediate relief from the heat and a sustainable solution for hydration throughout the summer.
The initiative witnessed active participation from AU's students and staff, who came together to show appreciation for those who endure high heat during Kuwait's intense summer. The campaign not only provided practical support but also encouraged environmental awareness by replacing single-use plastics with durable, eco-friendly alternatives. Commenting on the initiative, May Al Musallam, Senior Manager of Public Relations and Marketing at AU, said: 'This campaign was more than just distributing water bottles; it was a humanitarian message that expressed compassion and empathy, and encouraged genuine giving. We are proud of our students who embodied the spirit of generosity and responsibility.'

Trump plays golf in Scotland while hundreds of protesters gather at U.S. Consulate
President Donald Trump played golf Saturday at his course on Scotland's coast while protesters around the country took to the streets to decry his visit and accuse United Kingdom leaders of pandering to the American. Trump and his son Eric played with the U.S. ambassador to Britain, Warren Stephens, near Turnberry, a historic course that the Trump family's company took over in 2008. Hundreds of protesters gathered on the cobblestone and tree-lined street in front of the U.S. Consulate about 100 miles (160 kilometres) away in Edinburgh, Scotland's capital. Speakers on a makeshift stage told the crowd that Trump was not welcome and they criticized British Prime Minister Keir Starmer for striking a recent trade deal to avoid stiff U.S. tariffs on goods imported from the U.K. Canada, U.K. commit to trade talks after Carney and Starmer meet Protests were planned in other cities as environmental activists, opponents of Israel's war with Hamas in Gaza and pro-Ukraine groups loosely formed a 'Stop Trump Coalition.' 'I think there are far too many countries that are feeling the pressure of Trump and that they feel that they have to accept him and we should not accept him here,' said June Osbourne, 52, a photographer and photo historian from Edinburgh who protested wearing a red cloak and white hood, recalling 'The Handmaid's Tale.' Osbourne held up picture of Trump with 'Resist' stamped over his face. The dual-U.S.-British citizen said the Republican president was 'the worst thing that has happened to the world, the U.S., in decades.' Saturday's protests were not nearly as large as the throngs that came out across Scotland when Trump played at the resort during his first term in 2018. But bagpipes played, people chanted 'Trump Out!' and raised homemade signs that said 'No red carpet for dictators,' 'We don't want you here' and 'Stop Trump. Migrants welcome.' One dog had a sign that said 'No treats for tyrants.' No, politics haven't become polarized. Only one side has moved to the extremes Some on the far right took to social media to call for gatherings supporting Trump in places such as Glasgow. Upon arriving in Scotland on Friday night, Trump admonished European leaders for not cracking down on immigration. 'This immigration is killing Europe,' he said. 'You better get your act together,' Trump said. 'You're not going to have Europe anymore.' While in Scotland, Trump is set to talk trade with Starmer and Ursula von der Leyen, the European Commission president. But golf is a major focus. The Trumps will also visit another Trump course, in the Aberdeen area in northeastern Scotland. They plan to cut a ribbon on Tuesday, opening the second Trump course. The president has long lobbied for Turnberry to host the British Open, which it has not done since he took over ownership. 'There's no place like it,' he said Friday night.

‘Goosebumps' and euphoria after workers trapped in B.C. mine were freed
It was a 'euphoric' moment as three drilling company workers were brought to safety after spending more than 60 hours trapped underground in a mine in a remote area of northwestern British Columbia, their employer said Friday. The workers who had been sheltering in a steel refuge 284 metres below ground emerged after a complex, high-stakes rescue mission involving drones, a remote-controlled scoop machine and a special protected rescue vehicle. Hy-Tech Drilling's president Dwayne Ross thanked everyone involved in the rescue effort at the Red Chris mine, where the workers surfaced at around 10:40 p.m. Thursday. He told a news briefing that the men — Kevin Coumbs, Darien Maduke and Jesse Chubaty — would soon be back in Smithers, B.C., where Hy-Tech is based. Bernard Wessels, the global safety chief for the mine's operator, Newmont Corp., said there were 'goosebumps and happiness' when the contractors escaped the gold and copper mine, about 500 kilometres northwest of Terrace, B.C. Story continues below advertisement The men 'held hope and strength through their every moment,' he told the briefing. The men were to be reunited with their families on Friday, Wessels said. A statement from Newmont said the workers were in 'good physical and mental condition' when they were found. 'As a precaution, they were taken for medical evaluations and offered access to counselling,' it said, adding that reuniting the workers with their families was the immediate focus. Hy-Tech issued a statement Friday including a photo of the three men standing with Ross and a company director in front of the helicopter taking them home. 'Bringing our team safely back to surface was a moment of immense relief,' Ross said in the statement. The trio had been trapped by two 'falls of ground' that blocked an access tunnel. Wessels described the remote-controlled machine used in the operation as 'big, big pieces of equipment,' with the scoop clearing a path to allow the rescue vehicle to pass through a blockage about 20 metres long.

Story continues below advertisement 'Upon reaching the refuge chamber, the team found Kevin, Darien, and Jesse in stable condition. Together with the emergency response team, they returned to (the) surface using the same protective equipment.' He said the men walked on their own to the rescue vehicle and they were taken out one by one. Wessels said the response showed that 'safety protocols work,' adding the men did 'exactly what they were trained to do.' The first fall of ground had occurred at 7:47 a.m. Tuesday, prompting the men to retreat to the refuge equipped with air, food and water, before the second, bigger fall around 10:30 a.m. Wessels said the refuge was about 700 metres from where both falls occurred. He said the men were found in 'healthy spirits,' telling rescuers they had managed to catch up on their sleep. Newmont, based in Denver, Colo., said in a statement that the outcome was a 'result of tireless collaboration, technical expertise, and above all, safety and care.' 'We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the rescue teams and all those involved.' No prior fall-of-ground events had occurred in the tunnel where the men became trapped, the company said, adding it had been subjected to routine inspections. Story continues below advertisement 'This incident was highly localized and unexpected' the statement said. 'A full investigation will be conducted to determine the root cause and share learnings with the broader industry.' Wessels told Friday's briefing that the mine doesn't have a history of geotechnical instability and the fall-of-ground incidents occurred in a 'very localized area.' 'This one caught us by surprise and we need to go and understand that,' he said. The mine is subject to daily and monthly inspections, as well as 'second line of defence' inspections by external observers, Wessels said. 'We will do an extensive inspection and investigation into this incident, and ultimately we will share the results of this incident so that we can learn from that. But it's not a common thing, and it's not a common thing for this operation,' he said. Still, he said falls of ground are a risk across the mining industry. 'That's why we've got standards and protocols that we put in place.' B.C. Premier David Eby hailed the outcome and the 'heroic work of the rescue team.' 'The three drillers demonstrated remarkable courage over the 60-plus hours of being trapped underground,' he said. A statement from Mines Minister Jagrup Brar later Friday said it was a 'proud day' for the province. Story continues below advertisement 'We breathe a collective sigh of relief and express our profound thanks in celebration of the rescue and safe return of the three workers,' he said. 'As we move forward, we reflect on the impact of this incident and the lessons we can glean from it.' Brar said the ministry's chief inspector had begun an investigation into the incident, the results of which would be made public. The three workers had been identified on Thursday by Hy-Tech, saying Coumbs was from Ontario, Maduke was from B.C. and Chubaty was from Manitoba. It described Coumbs and Chubaty as drillers and Maduke as a driller's helper. A Facebook page belonging to Chubaty issued a post Friday saying it had been a 'wild week' and he thanked people for reaching out. 'Glad to be outta there!' the post read. 'To all my mining brothers stay safe down there and to everyone else as well!' Newmont said open-pit operations had resumed at the Red Chris. Those operations are separate from the underground project, it said. 'The underground area where the incident occurred remains secured. No work will resume there until a full investigation is completed and safety is reassessed.' Story continues below advertisement Michael Goehring, president of the Mining Association of B.C., issued a statement Friday thanking rescuers and commending the successful effort. 'Newmont's rescue operation is a testament to the commitment, skill, and readiness of mine rescue teams across British Columbia who, at a moment's notice, willingly place themselves in harm's way to keep others safe,' he said. The effort involved mine rescue professionals from both Red Chris and the Brucejack mine in the same region, he noted. — With files from Ashley Joannou in Vancouver

Most Canadians think the country is making progress on reconciliation: poll
Most Canadians believe the country is making good progress on reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples, a new poll from Leger suggests. 'The extent to which people feel progress on reconciliation is being made or not has an important bearing on how they feel about the country,' said Jack Jedwab, president and CEO of the Association for Canadian Studies, which commissioned the poll. The survey of 1,580 respondents was conducted between June 20 and 22. A margin of error cannot be associated to the survey because online polls are not considered to be truly random samples. Forty-seven of the respondents self-identified as Indigenous. Jedwab said that small number and the lack of regional breakdowns of the numbers means the poll should be interpreted with caution. But the poll still shows where Canadians are 10 years after the final report from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission was released, he said. Story continues below advertisement 'There's several attempts to measure progress on reconciliation by virtue of the extent to which we, collectively, have met the conditions of the various calls to action in the Truth and Reconciliation (Commission's) report,' Jedwab said. 'But we're not really taking, up to now, the pulse of Canadians in terms of whether or not they feel progress is being made.

Sign up for breaking National newsletter Sign Up By providing your email address, you have read and agree to Global News' Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy 'It's sort of a proxy for helping us understand how Canadians feel about their relationships.' Fifty-five per cent of poll respondents said they believe Canada is making good progress on reconciliation, but their answers vary widely between age groups — 40 per cent of respondents aged 18 to 24 said Canada was making progress, while 67 per cent of respondents 65 and older said the same. Jedwab said he was surprised to see such a large number of respondents reporting progress, given the many issues in the Crown-Indigenous relationship still unresolved. 'The survey suggests there's something to build on with respect to the relationship, with respect to reconciliation and with respect to how people feel about the country,' he said. The survey also asked whether Canadians trust other Canadians — the vast majority of respondents said they do. But respondents aged 18 to 24 reported being the most trusting of others, at 77 per cent, while those aged 35 to 44 were the least trusting at 52 per cent. Story continues below advertisement Roughly six in ten non-Indigenous respondents said they trusted Indigenous people. Reported trust in Indigenous people is highest in Nova Scotia (71 per cent) and Ontario (64.3 per cent) and lowest in Saskatchewan (38.3 per cent), P.E.I. (43.8 per cent) and Manitoba (44.8 per cent). The survey also suggests respondents who said they are proud of Canada's history are more likely to report Canada is making good progress on reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples, at 68 per cent. Of those who reported they're not proud of Canada's history, just 39.3 per cent said they believe Canada is making good progress. Pride in Canada's history seems to be strongly correlated with the age of respondents. Just 36 per cent of respondents aged 18 to 24 reported feeling proud of that history, while 78 per cent of those 65 and older said the same. Francophone youth reported being more proud of Canada's history (59 per cent) than anglophones (35 per cent) — a finding Jedwab said he was surprised by, given the persistence of the province's separatist movement. Jedwab said while the poll found most Indigenous respondents reported feeling pride in Canadian history, it can't be taken at face value because the sample size was so small. 'There's a need to actually pursue further research in this area to get a better idea of how Indigenous Peoples feel,' he said. Story continues below advertisement 'We need to be more attentive to that diversity in terms of drawing conclusions about the views of Indigenous Peoples … We do need to better understand what the nature of the relationship is right now, how people feel about whether progress is being achieved or not and how we go forward together.' The polling industry's professional body, the Canadian Research Insights Council, says online surveys cannot be assigned a margin of error because they do not randomly sample the population.
