Fans of the BBC series Casualty were on tenterhooks tonight as two new characters made their debut on the beloved show. This evening's episode was packed with tension as viewers were treated to a fresh instalment. The storyline centred on Dylan (portrayed by Will Beck) and Jodie (played by Anna Chell), where Jodie discovered that Dylan had agreed to mentor her only because her father had requested it. The drama escalated when their dinner discussion was abruptly cut short by a vehicle ploughing into the eatery. The driver, in a desperate bid to get his pregnant wife to the hospital, could only watch as Dylan was compelled to conduct an emergency C-section right there in the restaurant. Although the child survived, the mother was not as fortunate; after being whisked away to the hospital, she suffered two heart attacks and sadly passed away, leaving Dylan in shock. Adding to the night's upheaval were two new paramedics whose attitudes didn't go down well with viewers, sparking speculation that they might lead to the departure of another beloved character, reports the Mirror . Viewers took to social media to express their opinions, with one commenting: "Don't like these new paramedics, but I didn't like the nurses when they first started so #Casualty." Another fan expressed their annoyance: "Nah those 2 paramedics already doing my head in #Casualty." Athird viewer remarked: "These two paramedics need to grow up! #casualty." "The show's been crying out for some more paramedics and we get these two? Really #Casualty," a fourth viewer expressed, with another adding: "Hope two new paramedics starting doesn't mean one of the regulars is leaving #Casualty." Discussing the new series, Will Beck - who portrays Dylan - described it as a "real rollercoaster ride". He commented: "The first thing that comes to mind is chaos, it's a real roller coaster ride. I think particularly for Jodie, it's a real opportunity for people to get to know her." "I think the thing that this box set does, is it goes to an emotional depth. Dylan strangely enough gets caught up in it because of the correlation between the situation that Jodie finds herself in." *Casualty airs on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.

KUWAIT: Minister of Commerce and Industry Khalifa Al-Ajeel and his Omani counterpart, Qais Al-Yousef, emphasized the importance of strengthening economic and trade relations between the two countries, particularly in areas that promote sustainable development. In his speech at the launch of the Kuwaiti-Omani Economic Forum and Exhibition in Kuwait on Monday, Minister Al-Ajeel stated: “We are keen to ensure that the efforts of the ministry and government entities align with the noble desire to enhance cooperation and trade exchange within the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).” Following the opening of the forum, an agreement was signed between Omani company “Mawane” and Kuwait’s “Public Services Company” to enhance cooperation in several fields, strengthening economic ties and expanding the scope of collaboration between the private sectors of both nations. During the forum, the ministers also inaugurated an accompanying exhibition featuring 70 small and medium-sized enterprises, with 50 Omani companies showcasing sectors such as food, handicrafts, and technology. The forum includes three main discussion sessions focusing on topics such as manufacturing industries, supply chain integration, real estate development, luxury hotels, and food security. Additionally, bilateral meetings between businesspeople and companies from both countries are being organized to establish strategic partnerships and achieve integration in line with the goals of Oman Vision 2040 and Kuwait Vision 2035. Al-Ajeel highlighted the directives from the leadership to unify policies, facilitate trade and investment flows, support local industries, and promote innovation and entrepreneurship across GCC countries. He further remarked that the forum was a manifestation of these directives, aiming to achieve prosperity and advancement for the Gulf region. He also reflected on the long-standing and rooted relations between Kuwait and Oman, particularly during the prosperous maritime trade period. “Oman has been a key stop for Kuwaiti ships heading to the Indian subcontinent and beyond, marking the beginning of a historical trade relationship that continues today,” he said. The minister recalled the strong ties between the two nations, especially during the 1990 Gulf War, when Oman opened its doors and hearts to Kuwaitis, providing refuge and solidarity. Al-Ajeel also noted that with the establishment of the GCC in 1981 and the signing of the unified economic agreement, the economic ties between Kuwait and Oman have been formalized and continue to grow. In his address, Oman’s Minister of Commerce and Industry referred to Kuwait as a “strategic partner” and expressed the commitment to further strengthen economic relations under the guidance of both countries’ leadership. He emphasized the importance of cooperation in priority sectors that will create job opportunities and enhance sustainable development for both nations. Al-Yousef also highlighted the forum’s focus on boosting trade and investment, exploring opportunities in the industrial, tourism, logistics, and food security sectors. “We aim to foster business partnerships and increase trade exchange between our countries, aligning with Oman’s Vision 2040 and Kuwait’s Vision 2035,” he said. The minister also mentioned the development of joint investment projects, including the Duqm refinery and petrochemical industries, which represent the largest shared investment project between Oman and Kuwait. He expressed hope for expanding collaboration in line with the leadership’s aspirations. — KUNAMOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday apologized to his Azerbaijani counterpart for what he called a "tragic incident" following the crash of an Azerbaijani airliner in Kazakhstan that killed 38 people, but stopped short of acknowledging that Moscow was responsible. Putin's apology came as allegations mounted that Russian air defenses shot down the plane while attempting to deflect a Ukrainian drone strike near Grozny, the regional capital of the Russian republic of Chechnya. Russian President Vladimir Putin chairs a Security Council meeting via videoconference Saturday at the Kremlin in Moscow, Russia. An official Kremlin statement issued Saturday said that air defense systems were firing near Grozny airport as the airliner "repeatedly" attempted to land there on Wednesday. It did not explicitly say one of these hit the plane. The statement said Putin apologized to Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev "for the fact that the tragic incident occurred in Russian airspace." The readout said Russia has launched a criminal probe into the incident, and Azerbaijani state prosecutors have arrived in Grozny to participate. The Kremlin also said that "relevant services" from Russia, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan are jointly investigating the crash site near the city of Aktau in Kazakhstan. The plane was flying from Azerbaijan's capital, Baku, to Grozny when it turned toward Kazakhstan, hundreds of miles across the Caspian Sea from its intended destination, and crashed while attempting to land. There were 29 survivors. According to a readout of the call provided by Aliyev's press office, the Azerbaijani president told Putin that the plane was subject to "external physical and technical interference," though he also stopped short of blaming Russian air defenses. Part of an Azerbaijan Airlines plane lies on the ground Thursday near the airport of Aktau, Kazakhstan. Aliyev noted the plane had holes in its fuselage and the occupants sustained injuries "due to foreign particles penetrating the cabin mid-flight." He said that a team of international experts began a probe of the incident at Azerbaijan's initiative, but provided no details. Earlier this week, the Azerbaijani Prosecutor General's office confirmed that investigators from Azerbaijan are working in Grozny. On Friday, a U.S. official and an Azerbaijani minister made separate statements blaming the crash on an external weapon, echoing those made by aviation experts who blamed the crash on Russian air defense systems responding to a Ukrainian attack. U.S. President Joe Biden, responding Saturday to a reporter asking whether he thought Putin should take responsibility for the crash, said: "Apparently he did but I haven't spoken to him." Biden made the comment after leaving church in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. Passengers and crew members who survived the crash told Azerbaijani media they heard loud noises on the aircraft as it circled over Grozny. Dmitry Yadrov, head of Russia's civil aviation authority Rosaviatsia, said Friday that as the plane was preparing to land in Grozny in deep fog, Ukrainian drones were targeting the city, prompting authorities to close the area to air traffic. Yadrov said after the captain made two unsuccessful attempts to land, he was offered other airports but decided to fly to Aktau. People attend a funeral Saturday for Mahammadali Eganov, who died in the Azerbaijan Airlines Embraer 190 crash near the Kazakhstan's airport of Aktau at the age of 13, in Baku, Azerbaijan. Earlier this past week, Rosaviatsia cited unspecified early evidence as showing that a bird strike led to an emergency on board. In the days following the crash, Azerbaijan Airlines blamed "physical and technical interference" and announced the suspension of flights to several Russian airports. It didn't say where the interference came from or provide any further details. If proven that the plane crashed after being hit by Russian fire, it would be the second deadly civil aviation accident linked to fighting in Ukraine. Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was downed with a Russian surface-to-air missile, killing all 298 people aboard, as it flew over the area in eastern Ukraine controlled by Moscow-backed separatists in 2014. Russia denied responsibility but a Dutch court in 2022 convicted two Russians and a pro-Russia Ukrainian man for their role in downing the plane with an air defense system brought into Ukraine from a Russian military base. The grave of Mahammadali Eganov, 13, who died in the Azerbaijan Airlines Embraer 190 crash near the Kazakhstan's Aktau airport, is seen Saturday in Baku, Azerbaijan. Following Wednesday's suspension of flights from Baku to Grozny and nearby Makhachkala, Azerbaijan Airlines announced Friday that it would also halt service to eight more Russian cities. Several other airlines made similar announcements since the crash. Kazakhstan's Qazaq Air on Friday said it would stop flying from Astana to the Russian city of Yekaterinburg in the Ural Mountains for a month. Turkmenistan Airlines, the Central Asian country's flagship carrier, on Saturday halted flights to Moscow for at least a month, citing safety concerns. Earlier this past week, Israel's El Al carrier suspended service from Tel Aviv to the Russian capital, citing "developments in Russia's airspace."

"We are highly encouraged by the robust efficacy signal and favorable safety profile observed with onvansertib plus standard-of-care from the first 30 evaluable patients in our randomized first-line RAS-mutated mCRC CRDF-004 trial," said Fairooz Kabbinavar, MD, FACP, Chief Medical Officer of Cardiff Oncology . "Our data shows an objective response rate of 64% in patients receiving the 30 mg dose of onvansertib in combination with standard of care, significantly higher than the 33% objective response rate observed in the control arms of standard of care alone. In addition, as can be seen in the spider plots, we are observing deeper tumor response in patients receiving the 30mg dose of onvansertib compared to those receiving the 20mg dose with similar safety profiles for both doses." Personalis, Inc. (NASDAQ: PSNL), a developer of advanced cancer genomic tests and analytics, and Tempus AI, Inc. (NASDAQ: TEM), an AI-powered healthcare technology company, recently announced they've expanded their commercial relationship. Both companies agreed in November 2023 to collaborate and bring ultra-sensitive MRD testing to market and launched their efforts at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting. Tempus is serving as the exclusive commercial diagnostic partner for Personalis' ultra-sensitive tumor-informed MRD product, NeXT Personal® Dx, for broad patient adoption in breast and lung cancers, and for immunotherapy monitoring across all solid tumors. "While we already offer NeXT Personal through our own biopharma channel, we are pleased to leverage Tempus' integrated platform as well for these biopharma customers who desire to combine NeXT Personal with other Tempus products," said Chris Hall , CEO of Personalis . "We believe the expansion of the relationship with Tempus will accelerate market penetration of our leading ultra-sensitive MRD platform and allow us to better capitalize on the opportunity." Under this expanded relationship, Tempus will be enabled to offer Personalis' NeXT Personal MRD product to pharmaceutical and biotech customers who wish to bundle MRD testing with other Tempus offerings in a given study. Checkpoint Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: CKPT), a commercial-stage immunotherapy and targeted oncology company focused on novel treatments for patients with solid tumor cancers, recently announced that the FDA approved its UNLOXCYTTM (cosibelimab-ipdl) for the treatment of adults with metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) or locally advanced cSCC who are not candidates for curative surgery or curative radiation. UNLOXCYT is the first and only programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) blocking antibody to receive FDA marketing approval for this indication. "[This] FDA approval of UNLOXCYT – the first marketing approval for our company – is a significant milestone both for Checkpoint and for patients with advanced cSCC," said James Oliviero , President and CEO of Checkpoin t. "This approval marks Checkpoint's transformation to a commercial-stage company, with the opportunity to compete in a U.S. market estimated to exceed $1 billion annually, where we believe UNLOXCYT offers a differentiated treatment option versus available therapies by binding to PD-L1, rather than programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1), to release the inhibitory effects of PD-L1 on the anti-tumor immune response. Additionally, UNLOXCYT has demonstrated the ability to induce antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), another potential differentiating feature of the drug compared to existing marketed therapies for patients with cSCC."
