13-year-old girl turns surgeon in Austria, successfully performs skull surgery!
This troubling incident began when the doctor gave in to her daughter’s request to be involved in the procedure. The patient, a 39-year-old man, had suffered critical head injuries after a tree fell on him, fracturing his skull. Rushed to LKH Hospital in January, he required urgent surgery to save his life. During the operation, the girl drilled a hole in his skull under her mother’s supervision. While the surgery was ultimately successful, the truth of the daughter’s involvement came to light months later in April, triggering public outrage and immediate consequences.

Russia cuts gas to Austria in payment dispute, keeps EU flows
Russia, which before the Ukraine war was the biggest single supplier of natural gas to Europe, has lost almost all of its European customers as the EU tries to reduce its dependence and after the Nord Stream pipeline to Germany was blown up in 2022. Now one of the last main Russian gas routes to Europe — the Soviet-era Urengoy-Pomary-Uzhgorod pipeline via Ukraine — is due to shut at the end of this year, as Kyiv does not want to extend a five-year transit agreement which brings northern Siberian gas to Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Austria.

Book review: Shomie Das's counterintuitive view on education
Subscribe to enjoy similar stories. Shomie Das, who was successively principal of three well-known boarding schools, Mayo College, Lawrence School, Sanawar, and The Doon School from 1969-95, had radically unconventional ideas about education, gleaned from German and Austrian educationists and the product of his own innate liberalism and innovativeness. His ideas about education have a relevance well beyond the three posh schools he headed because they were contrary to the priorities of Indian education, then and now.

For F1 teams, the Mexican GP is all about altitude
Formula One (F1) cars racing in Mexico City, the normal rules don’t apply. When speeding down a straight that is almost 1 mile (1.6 km) long, teams would usually need to race a car with as sleek a body shape as possible to cut through the air and hit top speeds quickly. But at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, where this weekend’s Mexico City Grand Prix (GP) will be held, it’s the opposite. Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez first held a F1 world championship race in 1963. For the drivers, the track will feel more akin to racing on a slippery street course like the one in Monaco, where regular automobiles that use the streets when F1 is not in town wear away the traction provided by the sticky tire rubber laid down by race cars.

More rain and strong winds are forecast until at least Monday. Some parts of the Czech Republic and Poland faced the worst flooding in almost three decades, as towns evacuated thousands of residents. A quarter of a million Czech homes were without power.
