There’s value in that trash, so don’t go throwing it away just yet. And nope, we’re not talking about some Discovery Channel or History Channel junk-picking reality show but a vibrant, wild and bold new anime series, Gachiakuta.

Based on the manga by Kei Urana and produced by Bones Studio (Fullmetal Alchemist, My Hero Academia), Gachiakuta is set in a (presumably) post-apocalyptic world where a vast city (the Sphere) floats above a sprawling trash pile, the Ground (though the Sphereites refer to it as “the Pit”).

The Sphere consists of a pristine, elite centre surrounded by settlements of its exiles or “tribesfolk”, descendants of criminals banished from the city.

The story revolves around Rudo, a tribal lad who sifts through Sphereites’ trash for salvageable items because he believes everything has value and purpose, and nothing should be discarded before achieving its “destiny”, so to speak.

Falsely accused of murdering his kind foster father Regto, Rudo is summarily pronounced guilty and thrown into the Pit.

Italian model Pamela Genini is dead after authorities say her partner, over 20 years her senior, stabbed the young woman two dozen times on Tuesday (Oct 14).

Milan prosecutor Alessia Menegazzo has charged entrepreneur Gianluca Soncin, 52, with aggravated murder after he allegedly stabbed the 29-year-old 24 times “in the neck, back, chest, upper limbs and hands,” on the third floor terrace of her home, according to a translation of Italian newspaper Il Fatto Quotidiano.

Soncin, who had allegedly abused and stalked the victim, is currently hospitalised in serious condition after twice stabbing himself in the throat, though he’s expected to survive.

Genini was reportedly on the phone with her ex-boyfriend when Soncin – who she’d only been dating a matter of months – entered her Gorla district residence, having pretended to be a delivery man. He’s also believed to have used a copy of her keys, made without Genini’s knowledge.

Police were alerted to the assault at around 10pm local time, thanks to neighbours who heard Genini crying for help.

Exercise snacks – intentional short bursts of physical activity – may be an effective way of boosting the cardiorespiratory fitness of physically inactive adults.

This is according to a review of the available research, published online Oct 7 (2025) in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.

Adherence to exercise snacking throughout the day was high, the findings indicate.

Therefore, this approach could help counter the perceived lack of time and low motivation – frequently-cited barriers to fulfilling the recommended weekly quota of physical activity for health – say the researchers.

Globally, around a third of adults and 80% of teens fail to meet the recommended physical activity levels of 300 minutes per week of moderate-intensity physical activity, or 75-150 ­minutes per week of vigorous-intensity physical activity, they note.

Hong Kong actress Carina Lau has earned praise from netizens for her poised response after Chinese actress He Saifei urged her to have children.

In a recent episode of the Chinese variety show The Blooming Journey, He, 62, and Lau, 59, engaged in an open discussion on various topics.

When the subject of childbirth came up, Lau – who’s been married to superstar Tony Leung Chiu-wai since 2008 – said: “I’m someone who simply doesn’t want to have children.”

He then questioned how life could continue without children, adding: “We need to carry on the family line!”

In response, Lau told her friend not to say such things, saying she disagreed with that viewpoint.

Despite being pressed on the matter, Lau maintained that having children is a personal decision that shouldn’t be subject to outside judgment.

PARIS (Reuters) -Reclusive former French movie star Brigitte Bardot, 91, has been hospitalized for the past three weeks in Toulon, near her home in Saint-Tropez, local newspaper Var-Matin reported on its website on Thursday.

She underwent surgery related to a “serious illness”, the newspaper said, citing unidentified sources. Her condition is “worrying”, it added.

Bardot became world famous in the fifties and sixties for her free-spirited performances and sexual magnetism in a series of movies. As a singer, she also released several records during that time.

She stopped acting in the seventies, permanently moved to the French Riviera town of Saint-Tropez, and dedicated herself to the animal welfare cause through a foundation in her name.

The Brigitte Bardot Foundation did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The click of a computer, or the press of a TV remote, is all it takes for a global audience to watch Chinese dramas – and for China to tap into a gushing revenue stream.

During the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-25), the country has seen television and radio programmes and related services surge by 40%, said Dong Xin, deputy director of the National Radio and Television Administration, at a press conference held by the State Council Information Office on Sept 25.

With the Internet versions of Chinese audiovisual platforms reaching more than 200 countries and regions, the country has generated over US$63bil (RM266bil) in revenue overseas.

Besides, more than 300 apps for micro-dramas have been available for download on overseas platforms, added Dong.

Some of the most popular programmes include Welcome To Milele, inspired by the true stories of Chinese medical aid teams in Africa; Minning Town, a heartfelt story of a Ningxia village’s fight against poverty since the 1990s; and To The Wonder, a poetic portrayal of a young woman’s life and romance in Xinjiang’s Altay region.

Further exemplifying Chinese content’s popularity, when Welcome To Milele was broadcast in Kenya, the audience for Citizen TV – one of Kenya’s most-watched channels – surged by over 135%, or 2.35 times its previous viewership.

THE Kuala Lumpur Design Festival (KLDF) is hosting its fourth edition this weekend, framing Kuala Lumpur as a city of infinite hues and pigments with its theme CMYK*L – a nod to the CMYK colour model for printing that combines cyan, magenta, yellow and black.

Opening today at Damansara City (DC) Mall, the Kuala Lumpur Design Festival (KLDF) asks a vivid question: “What colours define Kuala Lumpur?”

Design students from across Malaysia were invited to answer through the CMYK*L Design Exhibition, featuring selected works on Level 2 of DC Mall – from illustrations and motifs to fashion, projection mapping and furniture.

“As a thriving metropolis, Kuala Lumpur is a blend of not just people and culture, but also colour. Like sound, taste and smell, colour transmutes from one location to the next, like food and fruits to signages and buildings. But it becomes part of the background. That’s why we’re using design this year to highlight the role of colour and explore what is Kuala Lumpur through this lens,” says Nizar Musa, creative director of KLDF.

I flew into Singapore from Kuala Lumpur for a string of business meetings – the kind of trip where you pack a suit but hope to return with something more: A story, a taste, a reminder of why this city still matters.

Everywhere I turned in the weeks leading up to it, the chatter was the same: Restaurants are closing, the dining scene is struggling, the fire’s going out. Maybe. But step into the right rooms, pull up a chair at the right tables, and you’ll see what I saw. The embers haven’t died, they’ve been forged into something sharper.

Singapore isn’t fading, it’s still leading the region when it comes to fine dining. And it’s doing so with unapologetic, world-class confidence.

My base for the trip was the Raffles Hotel Singapore, a place so steeped in history it feels like you’ve stumbled into a sepia-toned photograph. Walk through its white colonnades and it’s 1900 again.
