The 15 high-rise buildings that had been sitting unfinished for eight years as part of the Liyang Star City Phase II project were demolished with blasts which lasted 45 seconds. The project, which started to be built in 2011 in Kunming city of the Yunan province of China, was transferred to a different company in 2012 due to lack of fund. However, no progress could be made as the buildings have become irreparable due to the accumulation of water on their foundations.
Columbia University has agreed to pay $221 million in settlements following a federal investigation into allegations of failing to protect Jewish students. Under the agreement, the university will pay $200 million over the next three years. Interim President Claire Shipman called the settlement a significant step after a period of federal scrutiny.
U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon praised Columbia’s reforms as a model for other universities, while President Trump expressed satisfaction with the historic settlement. The university also announced disciplinary actions against over 70 students involved in pro-Palestinian protests, including suspensions and expulsions.
