Veronika was sent plunging over 100ft to the ground but managed to cheat death by landing on her cushioned bed.
She was left with a broken leg and lost a tooth.

The emotional toll has weighed far greater on her with her parents yet to be found among the rubble.
Speaking on the horrific wake-up, Veronika said: "I fell from the ninth floor. I just had a broken leg and a tooth was knocked out.
"I was conscious, I was just sleepy and didn't understand what was happening.
"I heard an explosion and a second later I was on the ground. I don't know how it happened.

Russia threatens Trump with 'devastating' strikes after US president cut Putin's ceasefire deadline
Thirty of the wounded are still receiving treatment in hospital - including five children.
Many, including Veronika's parents, remain missing.
Vlad reportedly sent eight Iskander-K cruise missiles and 309 Shahed drones, according to Ukraine's armed forces.
Five buildings were directly hit, they added.
He said: "Kyiv. Missile strike. Directly into a residential building. People under the rubble. All services are on site. Russian terrorists."
Kyiv mayor Vitaly Klitschko paid tribute to those who were killed as he described the attack on the capital as the heaviest night of horror for children since the start of the war.
Telegram channel Pravda Gerashchenko added: "While rescuers are clearing debris and searching for survivors, people are at the scene of the tragedy waiting for
news
about their loved ones.
"These scenes break the heart. Show them to those who think the maniac Putin can be appeased."

He has made getting peace in
Ukraine
a priority and has talked to Putin directly as he has tried to get him to cut a deal.
But the tyrant has not moved away from his maximalist demands and will only sign a deal that leaves Ukraine defenceless.
Vlad has spent months talking up the prospect of peace, but appears to have alienated Trump after launching huge barrages at Ukrainian civilians.
The deadly blitzes are intended to sap morale and hammer civilian infrastructure, experts say.

John Whelan: Every penny of available Apple cash needed to back Irish AI development
China's big AI Summit, launched last week in Shanghai by Premier Li Qiang, kicked off just days after US president Donald Trump pledged that that the US will 'do whatever it takes to lead the world in artificial intelligence'. After unveiling a so-called AI Action Plan, he went on to declare that America is the country that started the AI race, and 'is going to win it'. In stark contrast, Premier Li Qiang headlined his AI Summit opening night by announcing that China will organize the launch of an international body to jointly develop the technology, with the goal of preventing it from becoming 'an exclusive game for a small number of countries and enterprises'. Fianna Fáil TD for Kildare North, Naoise Ó Cearúil, last month introduced the National Artificial Intelligence Bill 2026, which will establish a state body to oversee, enforce, and support the ethical, transparent, and innovative use of artificial intelligence in Ireland. Speaking at Leinster House, Deputy Ó Cearúil stated: 'This is the first time in our history that Ireland has a real chance to lead during a global technological revolution. While countries like the US, UK, and China are investing billions into AI, Ireland must act quickly to secure its own advantage. Not just as adopters, but as global contributors and leaders." The Bill dovetails much more with the China Summit theme 'Global solidarity in the AI era' than with Mr Trump's AI action plan to dominate and control the AI global growth. Beijing, by comparison, likes to say their approach democratises access to AI by offering the world the ability to freely build atop its tools, and it gives local developers an edge. The Chinese approach is much more likely to suit Ireland's entrepreneurs as they try to develop their own range of AI products for the market, obviously to markets outside the US. Trump's AI Action Plan begins, correctly, with the observation, 'Whoever has the largest AI ecosystem will set global AI standards and reap broad economic and military benefits.' The Plan has three core components: (1) addressing regulatory barriers, (2) building AI infrastructure, and (3) leading in AI diplomacy and security. Tracing through the US Action Plan is the core issue of deregulation, which sits well with the mantra of the Big Tech US firms Meta, Alphabet, Microsoft, and Amazon, who are currently dominating the international market for AI products. Altogether, the four companies are expected to spend more than $344bn (€296bn) for the year, with much of it going to the data centres necessary to run AI models. North American tech companies led the global AI market in 2024, capturing over 37% of the total market share. But the Asia Pacific AI market is projected to grow at the fastest growth of 20% between 2025 and 2034. The conundrum facing Ireland and its attempts to help entrepreneurs to maximise their position in the global marketplace, is the recognition that they cannot wean themselves entirely from the US but they need to focus on strategic growth areas in Europe and Asia where they can build a comparative advantage. The all-or-nothing sales pitch from Mr Trump will make it hard to find this balance and heighten concerns about our dependence on U.S. technology. And there are other issues facing Irish AI entrepreneurs, particularly costs of data to train their AI models and the associated data centres. Big Tech in owning data centres clearly have an advantage, particularly as they are funding these out of current revenue cash flow. But there are other costs, which put Irish AI companies at a disadvantage. Electricity costs are the second highest in Europe, adding high energy prices on to the required large scale computing costs. Finally, AI is trained on data, and public data resources, such as media archives and healthcare data, are incredibly valuable assets that are crucial to building a resilient, sovereign AI ecosystem. Ireland can further AI innovation by identifying and responsibly making available to AI entrepreneurs key public data resources, while preserving privacy. Every penny of the €2bn Apple money available from the EU sanctions will be needed if Ireland's entrepreneurs are to produce AI products capable of competing in international markets, with the Big Tech behemoths.

Ukraine officials arrested over large-scale corruption scheme involving drone procurement
UKRAINIAN AUTHORITIES HAVE said they arrested several politicians in connection with a 'large-scale corruption scheme' in the defence sector, shortly after an uproar over the independence of anti-graft bodies. A law passed at the end of July stripped the National Anti-Corruption Agency (NABU) and the Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAP) of their independence and placed them under the supervision of the Prosecutor General, himself appointed by the head of state. President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday backtracked and restored the bodies' independence following an outcry from the country's allies and the first anti-government street demonstrations since the Russian invasion in 2022. The NABU said on Saturday that it and the SAP had exposed 'a scheme for the systematic misappropriation of budget funds allocated by local authorities for the needs of the defence forces, as well as the receipt and provision of unlawful benefits on an especially large scale'. It said the scheme involved inflating prices for electronic warfare and drone equipment, and then funnelling off 30% of the contract amounts. The suspects include a member of parliament, heads of district and city administrations, members of the National Guard, and executives at defence companies. Advertisement The NABU said it has made four arrests so far but did not identify those detained. The interior ministry said it had suspended the suspected members of the National Guard. NABU Director Semen Kryvonos and Head of the SAPO Oleksandr Klymenko delivered a report. A Ukrainian MP, along with heads of district and city administrations and several National Guard servicemembers, were exposed for bribery. I am grateful to the anti-corruption agencies for… — Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський (@ZelenskyyUa) August 2, 2025 Zelensky said in a statement: 'I am grateful to the anti-corruption agencies for their work. 'It is important that anti-corruption institutions operate independently, and the law passed on Thursday guarantees them all the tools necessary for a real fight against corruption.' The president initially said he needed to bring the NABU and the SAP under his control because they were inefficient and under 'Russian influence'. But he did an about-face when confronted with the outcry – first serious political crisis since he took office six years ago. Several cases of corruption – an endemic problem in the country – have been exposed within the armed forces and the defence ministry during the war with Russia.

Sitdown Sunday: Scanning the heavens with the Pope's astronomer at the Vatican Observatory
IT'S A DAY of rest, and you may be in the mood for a quiet corner and a comfy chair. We've hand-picked some of the week's best reads for you to savour. 1. The Pope's astronomer The Vatican Observatory of Castel Gandolfo. Alamy Stock Photo Alamy Stock Photo You might be surprised to learn that the Vatican has its own observatory. Rebecca Mead went to see how the research institution operated by the Holy See works, and met the Michigan-born Jesuit who runs it. ( The New Yorker , approx 25 mins reading time) Guy Consolmagno believes in the big bang, at least as a provisional explanation of the universe's origins, and also in a creator God who exists before and beyond the big bang. In his understanding, the spheres of science and religion do not entirely overlap. Rather, they 'live together—the one doesn't replace the other,' he told me. 'Using science to prove religion would make science greater than religion. It would make your version of God subservient to your understanding of the universe. And not only does that make for a pretty weak God, but it is also crazy, because in a thousand years' time the scientific questions that people ask are going to be very different. Science goes obsolete—it doesn't progress otherwise.' 2. Ukraine's stolen children Over 19,500 children taken to Russia following the invasion of Ukraine have yet to be returned. Simon Shuster reports on the fight to get them back. ( TIME , approx 14 mins reading time) Of all the children on the list Putin saw, perhaps the best-documented case is that of Margarita Prokopenko, who was only a few months old when the Russian invasion began. Abandoned at birth by her mother, Margarita was the youngest of several dozen children living in a home for orphans and kids with disabilities in the city of Kherson. In early March 2022, Russian troops overran that city and installed a puppet government to run it. Many of those who showed open resistance to the occupation were arrested or killed. A member of the Russian parliament, Igor Kastyukevich, soon arrived from Moscow to help cement the Kremlin's control, and he began making frequent visits to the orphanage that spring. Kastyukevich, who represents Putin's political party, would often arrive in the company of armed men, dressed in camouflage, and bring food and other supplies for the children, according to videos he posted online to document the visits. Early that fall, Kastyukevich and other Russian officials began taking the children away, they said, to ensure their safety. Margarita, the youngest, was among the first. 3. The Badwater 135 Advertisement A lone runner in Death Valley during the ultramarathon in 2016. Alamy Stock Photo Alamy Stock Photo Billed as the toughest footrace on Earth, the ultramarathon takes place over 135 miles in the scorching heat of Death Valley in California. Devin Kelly speaks to those who make up the support crew to help the runners along the way. ( Outside , approx 18 mins reading time) As the race director, Chris Kostman, announced at the athlete briefing, 'Seven times more people have summited Mount Everest than have completed this race.' The race begins at the lowest point in North America, the Badwater Basin, which sinks 282 feet below sea level, and where temperatures routinely top out above 120 degrees. (This year, with reported temperatures ranging from 116 to 118 degrees, was labeled a 'cool year' by seasoned racers.) From there, the race summits two mountain passes before climbing to the top of Whitney Portal Road, where it finishes above 8,000 feet, right at the base of the hiking trail that climbs to the top of the continental United States's highest peak. The race begins at nightfall. Runners emerge into morning light somewhere near the mile 42 checkpoint at the small waypoint of Stovepipe Wells, where, in 1926, the first hotel was built in Death Valley, just a few miles from a stovepipe that a thoughtful, considerate prospector shoved into a much-needed well so that travelers could find water that once was perpetually hidden under the valley's sandy dunes. From there, racers begin a day of running that offers no shade and no respite from the sun. They suffer along a long and lonely road that warps with twirling mirages of heat, where even the wind feels less like a breeze and more like swallowing the inner workings of an oven that has been burning for centuries. 4. TikTok detectives Amid a boom in online shaming, private investigator influencers are tracking down cheaters and posting all about it on social media – and their followers are eating it up. ( Wired , approx 12 mins reading time) All of the PIs interviewed for this piece have completed the relevant training in their local jurisdiction, but certification requirements differ across states and countries—some, like Idaho, don't require any. And while PIs like Stephanie and Allen-Stell don't market themselves as influencers, they do utilize popular TikTok formats in their posts. Stephanie often posts rundowns of her meals when she's tailing suspects in restaurants or does her skin care routine in her car, noting, 'Everyone seems to love it.' In her recent videos, Allen-Stell demonstrates how to sweep a hotel room for hidden cameras and talks about the HydroJug cup she's 'obsessed' with, taking it on stakeouts and flights. Taken as a whole, their channels offer a mix of authority and accessibility—a marked shift from the PIs of old, or at least our collective perception of a PI. Philip Marlowe and Jake Gittes never broadcast from the front seat of their car wearing a Yankee's hat and under-eye masks, but for Stephanie, it's her preferred stakeout attire. 5. Hyperemesis gravidarum Alamy Stock Photo Alamy Stock Photo Abi Stephenson shares her own experience of the debilitating condition that is known as a severe form of morning sickness, which can last for the duration of a pregnancy, the medicalised misogyny she encountered and the drug that could offer a solution. ( The Guardian , approx 18 mins reading time) If one hasn't experienced it, it is hard to imagine the physical and psychological impacts of starvation and relentless vomiting – up to 50 times a day, for nine months. So studies fill in the gaps: bedsores, atrophied muscles, torn oesophagi, fractured ribs, detached retinas, intracranial haemorrhage, Wernicke's encephalopathy, broken teeth, collapsed lungs, liver dysfunction, lost jobs and relationships, sterilisations to avoid future pregnancies, long-term PTSD and depression. And death. In 2022, Jessica Cronshaw, a 26-year-old primary school teacher from Lancashire, took her own life when 28 weeks pregnant. Her much-wanted daughter was delivered via C-section and died four days later. In the inquest report, the assistant coroner said the case 'should serve as a reminder to healthcare professionals about the critical importance of addressing the wide-ranging impacts of hyperemesis gravidarum, including its mental health aspects.' According to a recent study, as many as 4.9% of women with HG have terminated a wanted pregnancy and more than a quarter have considered suicide as their only option to obtain relief. That's a staggering number of women, year on year.

Fooling the Frick Matthew Christopher Pietras donated millions of dollars to New York's museums like the Met and the Frick, earning him a reputation as a wealthy philanthropist. Then he was found dead in his apartment, and it turned out the money was stolen. ( Intelligencer , approx 23 mins reading time) Andrew decided to give him another chance. In March 2020, after seeing a variety show at 54 Below, Pietras called an Uber and abruptly invited Andrew over to his place. But instead of heading north toward the Pierre, the car pulled up to an unremarkable brick building on 39th Street. Pietras took Andrew up an elevator and showed him into a small studio apartment. Since they began dating, Andrew had found Pietras to be almost obsessively neat. On a trip they took to London a few weeks earlier, Pietras instructed the bellman to store his empty luggage lest it clutter the closet. But inside Pietras's apartment, every inch was given over to designer items. Suits, jackets, and coats hung from rows of racks. The floor, counters, and tables were covered with boxes of bags, shoes, and cosmetics. 'He was hoarding luxury goods. There's no other way to describe it,' Andrew says. Pietras's explanation for living in the studio did nothing to help Andrew better understand the situation. 'He told me the rent was reasonable,' Andrew says. 'I watched you order a $6,000 bottle of wine, and you like the reasonable rent. What?' …AND A CLASSIC FROM THE ARCHIVES… Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein. Alamy Stock Photo Alamy Stock Photo Ghislaine Maxwell was back in the news this week amid the furore over Donald Trump and the Epstein Files. Here's a 2020 longread about her year on the run before she was convicted of child sex trafficking. ( Vanity Fair , approx 37 mins reading time) By the time the friend ran into her on the plane, Maxwell and one of Epstein's victims, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, had settled a lawsuit in which Giuffre accused Maxwell of recruiting her as a 'sex slave' for Epstein and Prince Andrew, among others, when she was only 17. Now Maxwell was in the process of quietly withdrawing from the life she had made for herself. She shuttered the ocean-protection charity she had founded, the TerraMar Project, which left her with debts of $549,093. She even gave up her name, sometimes introducing herself to new acquaintances only as 'G.' Yet here she was, on a commercial flight from Miami to New York. For a moment, as the two friends chatted, the old Maxwell burst through: the Oxford-educated, knows-everybody-and-everything Maxwell, the woman who wanted to save the oceans but couldn't seem to save herself from the men in her life. 'Where are you living, Ghislaine?' the friend asked. 'I lost touch with you.' Maxwell suddenly went blank. 'Oh,' she replied, 'a little bit everywhere.' 'But where?' her friend pressed. Maxwell wouldn't answer. 'Looking back,' the friend says now, 'I personally think she knew that the shit was really about to go down.'
