Nobel Peace laureate Navi Pillay urged the United States to defend human rights and return to what she called its traditional role as a global leader.

Pillay made her comments in The Hague, where she is a judge at the International Court of Justice.

The United States announced sanctions targeting the International Criminal Court hours after Pillay was named the Peace Prize winner.

She said the timing was troubling and showed that efforts to target international criminal justice had been developing for some time.

The Swiss municipality of Domleschg plans to truck water to Feldis and Scheid after drought reduced their water supplies.

The two communities rely on springs, and falling spring flows could leave Scheid short of water from mid-December and Feldis from early November.

The municipality will rent a truck and two tanks to carry water from springs elsewhere in the area.

Each trip can carry about 25,000 litres, and six to eight trips could support the water networks in an emergency.

Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin agreed that Russia would supply diesel to the United States and global markets.

The US Treasury temporarily authorized sales of Russian diesel despite existing sanctions, through April 7, 2027.

Trump announced an initial 300,000 tonnes, followed by 500,000 tonnes in November and more later, with the total amount depending partly on Russian refinery capacity.

He said the deal would help lower fuel prices, which have risen sharply during the war involving Iran.

Researchers say muscle and liver cells can retain signs of past exercise even after someone stops training.

In studies using mice, animals that exercised, took a break and trained again grew larger muscles than mice with no training history.

Their muscle cells also matched energy production to demand more effectively, and this ability remained during inactivity.

The researchers say liver cells also store exercise memories and release enzymes that help supply fuel to working muscles.
