At least 21 people were killed and dozens more were injured after a high-speed train derailed and struck another train in southern Spain on Sunday evening, according to reports.

The crash happened at around 6:40 p.m. local time near the town of Adamuz in Córdoba province, when the initial derailment forced a second train off the tracks. Roughly 100 people were injured, including 25 with serious injuries, Reuters reported, citing police sources and local media.

One of the train drivers was among those killed, according to Reuters.

Spain’s rail infrastructure operator, Adif, said the Iryo 6189 Malaga-to-Madrid train derailed and crashed onto an adjacent track, causing a second train traveling from Madrid to Huelva to also derail.

The crash happened about 10 minutes after the Iryo train departed Córdoba. 

The Iryo train was identified as a Freccia 1000 train carrying more than 300 passengers, while the other train was operated by Renfe and had approximately 100 people on board, Reuters reported.

One woman, who said she was a passenger on the Iryo train, described chaotic scenes during the derailment.

“Ten minutes after departing, the train started to shake a lot, and it derailed from coach 6 behind us. The lights went out,” she wrote on X.

Videos posted on social media showed emergency responders assisting people as they climbed out through train windows.

Rail services between Madrid and Andalusia were subsequently suspended, according to Reuters.

Quick-thinking tennis star Zeynep Sonmez offers to meet up with ill Australian Open ball girl

0

The Turkish tennis player who helped a stricken Australian Open ball girl says she would “love” to meet up with the youngster following the scary incident on Sunday.

World No.11 Ekaterina Alexandrova was serving late in the second set when Zeynep Sonmez noticed the girl was not well.

The girl crashed to the floor before quickly standing up again as the world No.112 instantly rushed to help carry her off the court and into the shade.

But concerns mounted as the youngster fainted in the arms of Sonmez, who luckily saved her from falling for a second time.

The girl was able to regain her composure after receiving treatment and walked herself off the court alongside medical staff.

Sonmez put the situation to one side when the match resumed, though for a time it looked like she would be on her way out of the tournament.

Then everything changed as the 23-year-old pulled off a stunning comeback — even after dropping serve herself in the third set — to win 7-5 4-6 6-4.

Sonmez was handed a Turkish flag from the stands as she celebrated the emotional win, but her thoughts remained with the ball girl.

“She was really struggling. She said she was fine but it was really obvious she was not fine,” Sonmez told the BBC.

“So I went to grab her and said ‘sit down and drink something, you’re not fine’.

“As we were walking she fainted so luckily I grabbed her. She was really shaking.”

Sonmez played down her swift actions as nothing out of the ordinary.

“I always say it is more important to be a good human being than a good tennis player,” she said.

“It was just my instinct to help her and I think everyone would do the same. I’m happy I got to help.”

It is unclear if or when the girl will return to her role but Sonmez, guaranteed to be hanging around for at least a few more days after her career-best win, is hopeful of a catch-up.

“If I see the ball girl tomorrow or later in the tournament I’d love to speak to her,” she said.

Sonmez will face American wildcard Elizabeth Mandlik or Hungary’s Anna Bondar in the second round.

A surprise run to the fourth round is on offer in that section of the draw, after Alexandrova’s shock defeat came as 20th seed Marta Kostyuk was knocked out by an ankle injury and France’s Elsa Jacquemot.

Kostyuk, a quarter-finalist in 2024, rolled her ankle late in the third set and remarkably played through what was later revealed to be a torn ligament.

“I won’t be able to continue at the Australian Open in doubles with my amazing partner Gabriela Ruse,” Kostyuk announced overnight.

“The Australian Open has always been one of my favorite tournaments, so this isn’t how I imagined my run ending. But that’s part of the sport.

“Despite the setback, Brisbane was a great way to start the year, and I’m thankful for that momentum.

“Now it’s time to focus on recovery, and I’m excited to be back on court as soon as possible.

“Wishing everyone a great Australian Open!”

Jacquemot will face former top-20 star Yulia Putintseva, with the winner of that match to face Sonmez, Bondar or Mandlik in the third round.

But No.7 seed Jasmine Paolini looms large as a possible fourth-round opponent, after last year’s French Open champion cruised in a 6-1 6-2 first-round win over Aliaksandra Sasnovich.

Surfer says shark attack felt ‘like being hit by a car’ as board bitten in half: reports

0

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

A surfer was bitten by a shark that broke his board in Northern California this week, in the state’s first shark incident of the year.

“It was like being hit by a car,” Tommy Civik told Bay City News, according to SFGate of the incident in Mendocino County, north of San Francisco. “All of a sudden, I was shot out of the water.”

South Coast Fire Protection District Chief Jason Warner told SFGate that his team responded to a beach in Gualala, California, before 9 a.m. on Tuesday, and bystanders told him that a “big” shark “hit the surfer and the surfboard, threw the surfer up in the air a bit, and broke the board in half.”

He said it “latched on to half of the board and [was] kind of thrashing it around.”

Civik told the Los Angeles Times that he never saw the shark.

“My board snapped in half on impact,” he said. “My friend watching said that I flew in the air. I’m still piecing together what happened. …The whole thing was so jarring, I was just trying to get away.”

Peter Tira with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife told SFGate that Civik needed stitches and DNA from his wound will be used to identify what type of shark attacked him.

“I was unbelievably lucky,” Civik told The Times. “My board took all the impact, and the teeth just grazed me,” Civik said. “I had quite a bit of adrenaline, and since I could walk, I drove myself to the hospital.”

His friend Marco Guerrero told the Times he saw the shark attacking what he at first thought was a seal.

 “I just remember Tommy saying, ‘I’ll meet you out there,’ and suiting up. I was looking out at the waves when I saw the thrashing,” he explained. “I said, ‘Oh that’s a shark attack,’ thinking it was attacking a seal. I didn’t realize it was Tommy.”

After the attack, Civik said he “just put [his] head down and swam, fast.”

“I didn’t know where the shark was, so I just focused on getting away,” he told The Times. “After a minute, I realized that if the shark [had] wanted to bite me again, it would’ve. It all happened so fast.”

Civik’s attack comes less than a month after an open ocean swimmer was killed by a shark in Santa Cruz County, and following a record year for shark incidents in 2025.

“However, there were only 3 incidents with injuries last year, far below the highest year, which was 1974 with 7 injuries confirmed,” Tira told SFGate.

Aussie cricket great Damien Martyn reveals he had a ‘50-50 chance’ of survival during health battle

0

Australian cricket great Damien Martyn has revealed he was given a 50-50 chance of survival when he was placed in an induced coma amid a bout of meningitis.

The former Australian right-hand batter was rushed to hospital in late December before being diagnosed with meningitis, an infection and swelling of fluid and membranes around the brain and spinal cord.

The 54-year-old had been placed in an induced coma and was fighting for life in a Gold Coast intensive care unit, but awoke and was eventually discharged.

Know the news with the 7NEWS app: Download today Arrow

His recovery was described as a miracle by friends and family.

But, speaking publicly for the first time since the incident, Martyn has revealed just how serious the situation was.

“On the 27th of December 2025 my life was taken out of my hands…when meningitis took over my brain, & unbeknownst to me I was placed into a paralysed coma for eight days to help me fight this awful disease,” he posted on social media.

“And that I did! Fight that is! After being given a 50-50 chance of surviving, I came out of the induced coma eight days later … not able to walk or talk.

“And yet four days after that, with the doctors in disbelief, I walked, I talked and proved to them all why I should be released from hospital to start my recovery.

“So happy to be home, to be able to put my feet in the sand on the beach and to start thanking all those people that reached out to me and my family in their unwavering support.”

Martyn, who began the message with a massive thank you to his family, friends and others who reached out to him, went on to thank all the medical staff who cared for him.

“This experience has reminded me of how fragile life is, how quickly everything can change & how precious time is,” he said.

“There are so many wonderful people in this world … from paramedics (at Mermaid Waters Ambulance), doctors & nurses (at Gold Coast University Hospital) … to family, friends and people I didn’t even know.

“I feel like I met all these fantastic people in the past three weeks, or they reached out to me through messages of love and support.

“I am so grateful to you all. Thank you! Bring on 2026 …I’m back!”

Darwin-born Martyn earned a Test debut at 21 replacing Dean Jones in the 1992-93 home series against West Indies, and was Western Australia’s captain at 23.

He was player of the series the last time Australia won a series in India, topscoring in four of Australia’s eight innings at the crease in the 2004 battle for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

His Test high score of 165 came against New Zealand in 2005, one of 13 centuries Martyn made in the baggy green. He averaged 46.37.

Martyn was among a handful of star Australian players to retire in the 2006-07 Ashes series, playing his final match at the Adelaide Oval that summer.

He also played 208 ODIs, averaging 40.8 and scoring an unbeaten 88 runs as Australia defeated India in the final of the 2003 World Cup.

Michael Zerafa drops retirement bombshell in backstage interview after controversial Nikita Tszyu bout

0

Michael Zerafa has hinted he may retire from boxing in an expletive-laden rant after his hostile bout against Nikita Tszyu ended in controversy.

Furious fans hurled beer cans and water bottles into the ring after the referee stopped the fight before the start of the third round and declared a “no decision” when Zerafa repeatedly told the ringside doctor “I can’t see”.

Officials announced the reason for the fight being stopped was an “accidental head butt” near the finish of round two following a series of head clashes during a frenetic opening between the fierce rivals.

“I can’t see. I can’t see,” Zerafa told the ringside doctor before changing his story during his post-fight in-the-ring interview.

“I don’t know why everyone’s booing me. I didn’t stop it, the doctor stopped it. It’s not my fault.”

Asked what he told the doctor, Zerafa said: “I said it’s blurry, but all good. Let’s go.”

Grilled again on whether or not he said ‘I can’t see’ – which TV captured – Zerafa insisted, “No, I’m ready to go” before calling for a rematch.

Michael Zerafa found himself under fire after the farcical 'no contest' ending to his grudge fight.

“This is boxing, man. Like, let’s do it again. No disrespect to anybody, I don’t know what everyone’s booing for.

“I want to apologise to everybody but I don’t know why you are booing. I really don’t understand.

“You guys should be getting behind us athletes, whether you love or hate me.

“This is the sport, guys.”

But things took a turn backstage when Zerafa spoke to host Ben Damon.

“The doctor came, asked me, covered my eye and said, ‘Can you see?’ I said it’s blurry. He never gave me the opportunity to continue. Nothing, just waved it off. The referee waved it off,” Zerafa said.

“The doctor asked me questions, I answered the questions. He told me to cover my eye and said, ‘Can you see?’ I said it’s blurry, there’s blood in my eye, it’s a natural cut.

“(There was no) Do you wanna continue? Do you wanna still fight? Nothing … I’m just as confused and angry as everyone else.

“It was a tough fight … I don’t know, I’m over this s**t, man.”

When pressed on how over it he is, Zerafa said he may never return to the ring.

“I don’t know if they are going to see me back in the ring again. I’m f***ing done. I’ve bled for this sport, I’ve done everything for this sport. I never get the credit I deserve. This is f***ing bullshit.

“I feel sorry for Nikita and the fight fans. Myself. Everybody…

“First it was the bulls**t that I didn’t rock up, wave it off, New South Wales doctor. I don’t know. I’m not saying anyone is behind it.”

Zerafa also released a statement on Instagram, saying he wanted to continue the fight.

First U.S. Patient Dosed in BiPASS: Phase 3 Prostate Cancer Diagnosis Study

0

MELBOURNE, Australia and INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited (ASX: TLX, NASDAQ: TLX, “Telix”) today announces that the first patient in the United States (U.S.) has been dosed in BiPASS™ (Biopsy of the Prostate Avoidance Stratification Study), a Phase 3 trial to  evaluate the use of Telix’s commercial PSMA-PET[1] imaging agents, Illuccix® (kit for the preparation of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide injection) and Gozellix® (kit for the preparation of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide injection) in the initial prostate cancer diagnosis setting. The dose was administered under the supervision of Dr. Brian Mazzarella at Urology Austin and supplied by RLS Radiopharmacies.

BiPASS™ is the first study designed to gain marketing authorization for 68Ga-PSMA-PET[2] imaging in the pre-biopsy setting. The prospective, open-label Phase 3 trial will enroll 250 patients across sites in the U.S. and Australia. The study aims to determine whether combining MRI[3] with Illuccix/Gozellix 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET can improve diagnostic accuracy and reduce unnecessary biopsies compared to current standard practice. Men with elevated PSA[4] often proceed from an inconclusive MRI to template prostate biopsy. This procedure is stressful and unpleasant, can lead to complications[5] and frequently proves to be of no benefit to the patient[6].

In the U.S., more than one million prostate biopsies are performed annually, yet up to 75% are negative[6], and one in four patients declines the physician recommendation of receiving a biopsy[7]. The objective of BiPASS™ is to demonstrate improved lesion detection and patient stratification by integrating non-invasive molecular Illuccix/Gozellix 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET imaging early in the diagnostic pathway, to enable biopsy de-escalation or, alternatively, greater biopsy precision when administered.

If the BiPASS™ study achieves its primary objectives, it could lead to a reduction in unnecessary biopsies, improved patient experience, and a significant expansion of access to precision imaging for patients with suspected prostate cancer, potentially increasing the use of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET in a large new patient population.

Dr. Mazzarella, Vice President of Research for Urology America, said, “We’re excited to participate in the BiPASS trial at Urology Austin, which brings together promising technologies and emerging trends in patient care.  If BiPASS is successful in meeting its primary endpoint, it could eliminate the need for biopsy—reducing risks, side effects, and costs—and improve decision-making for providers and patients.”

Kevin Richardson, Chief Executive Officer, Telix Precision Medicine, added, “Illuccix and Gozellix are already transforming how clinicians treat and manage prostate cancer. By initiating this trial, we are reinforcing Telix’s commitment to patient centricity, clinical innovation, and industry leadership—with the goal of eliminating invasive biopsy.”

About BiPASS™

BiPASS™ (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07052214) leverages promising clinical findings from the PRIMARY[8] and PRIMARY2[9] studies, which demonstrated that MRI combined with 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET can better define or rule out prostate cancer and guide active surveillance before invasive biopsy. Professor Louise Emmett, Principal Investigator for PRIMARY, serves on the BiPASS™ Steering Committee and as an Investigator on the study.

About Illuccix® (kit for the preparation of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide injection)

Illuccix, after radiolabeling with 68Ga, is indicated for PET scanning of PSMA positive lesions in men with prostate cancer who have suspected metastasis and are candidates for initial definitive therapy, those with suspected recurrence based on elevated serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level, and for selection of patients who are indicated for PSMA-directed therapy as described in the prescribing information of the therapeutic products.

About Gozellix® (kit for the preparation of gallium Ga 68 gozetotide injection)

Gozellix, after radiolabeling with 68Ga, is indicated for PET scanning of PSMA positive lesions in men with prostate cancer who have suspected metastasis and are candidates for initial definitive therapy, and those with suspected recurrence based on elevated serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level.

The National University Centre for Digestive Health heralds a new era of care through quicker cross-referrals to surgical specialties, strengthened community partnerships and patient-friendly treatment delivery

SINGAPORE, Jan. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Digestive health is central to overall well-being, influencing nutrition, immunity, and quality of life. Yet common conditions, such as ulcers, liver disease, and colorectal disorders, often go undetected until they lead to serious complications. To address this, the National University Hospital (NUH) has officially opened the National University Centre for Digestive Health (NUCD), a facility dedicated to early detection, advanced treatment, and seamless patient care for digestive diseases.

Since its concept launch in 2024, NUCD has focused on consolidating NUH’s digestive health services under one roof to provide greater convenience for patients. Its reach extends beyond NUH, serving as a referral hub for complex cases from other hospitals within the National University Health System, including Ng Teng Fong General Hospital and Alexandra Hospital, ensuring patients receive specialised care when needed.

With its official opening, the Centre is strengthening the entire care pathway by accelerating access from initial digestive consultation to surgical expertise in Upper Gastrointestinal, Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic, and Colorectal, so patients can see the right specialists on the same day. This streamlined approach reduces waiting times, minimises repeated visits, and enables faster treatment decisions for better outcomes.

Strengthening prevention: From community collaborations to clinical excellence

NUCD has contributed significantly to the clinical validation and implementation of the Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) score and fibroscan to screen for liver fibrosis, or scarring of the liver, in high-risk patients with fatty liver and other chronic liver diseases[1]. Since September 2022, a chronic liver disease screening programme for high-risk individuals has been launched in partnership with National University Polyclinics and General Practitioners (GP) clinics. Through consultations and routine health assessments done at these clinics, asymptomatic individuals identified as potentially high-risk are referred to NUCD for comprehensive screening. To date, the Centre has screened more than 12,000 high-risk patients, facilitating earlier detection and interventions. With continuing medical education and engagement, NUCD continues to expand this network to enhance preventive care for liver health.

Another key focus of the Centre is improving the detection of colorectal cancer, often called a ‘silent killer’ because symptoms usually appear only in later stages. According to the Singapore Cancer Registry Annual Report 2022[2], colorectal cancer is the second most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths locally. To tackle this, the Centre is improving colonoscopy quality by increasing the Adenoma Detection Rate (ADR), a measure of how often doctors detect and remove precancerous polyps during the procedure.

Studies[3] show that every 1 per cent increase in ADR lowers colorectal cancer risk by 3 per cent, making these improvements a vital step in prevention. Put simply, a higher ADR means that more polyps are removed early, reducing cancer risk. New initiatives such as AI-enabled and image-enhanced colonoscopy, an automated ADR calculation system, and a dashboard displaying critical quality indicators for endoscopists have helped boost ADR at NUCD from 33.5 per cent in 2022 to 42.4 per cent in 2025, well above the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy guideline of at least 25 per cent[4].

Making IBD care more convenient and precise

Established in 2016, the Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Centre of Excellence is now a cornerstone of NUCD, delivering advanced care across all ages – from paediatric to adult patients. Among its key innovations is the home administration of intravenous biologics, reducing the need for frequent hospital visits and improving convenience.

Others include point-of-care intestinal ultrasound, which enables real-time, non-invasive assessment during clinic consultations, and a translational precision medicine programme that personalises treatment and provides access to clinical trials and novel therapies, such as faecal microbiota transplantation. The IBD Centre of Excellence also aims to play a leading role in regional education, having hosted IBD training programmes for over 100 healthcare professionals from ASEAN countries in the past five years.

“The launch of NUCD marks a significant step forward in how we care for patients with digestive conditions,” said Adj A/Prof Lee Guan Huei, Centre Director, National University Centre for Digestive Health. “By bringing together advanced diagnostics, specialist expertise, and cutting-edge technology, we aim to deliver care that is faster, more precise, and patient-focused. At the same time, we are driving research into new detection methods and innovative therapies, such as blood-based diagnostic tools that reduce the need for invasive procedures while maintaining accuracy. Our goal is simple – to detect problems early, treat them well, and help our patients live healthier lives.” Adj A/Prof Lee is also Head and Senior Consultant, Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Department of Medicine, NUH.
