China: Pet Fish Tucks Itself Into Favorite Leaf Bed in Hebei

This is the adorable moment that a pet fish in China insisted on swimming onto a leaf before going to sleep, leaving viewers amused by its bedtime routine. On May 6, 2026, in Hebei, China, the video captured a small fish carefully swimming around its tank before finally settling itself onto a leaf floating in the water. Instead of resting freely in the tank, the fish appeared determined to find its favorite “bed” before falling asleep. The footage showed the tiny creature slowly approaching the leaf and adjusting its body position several times as if trying to get comfortable. After finding the right spot, the fish remained motionless on top of the leaf, looking as though it had peacefully drifted off to sleep. The video ended with the fish quietly resting on the leaf while the water around it remained still.

China: Man Hurls Burning Gas Cylinder Out of Home, Bystander Shuts Valve by Hand

This is the heart-stopping moment that a Chinese resident hurled a burning liquefied gas cylinder out of his home as flames burst from the valve, triggering a chaotic scramble before another man intervened. On December 29, 2025, in Shandong, China, a household gas tank suddenly caught fire inside a room. As thick flames shot upward, a man rushed toward the cylinder, grabbed it with both hands and threw it out through the doorway to keep the blaze away from the house. He then snatched up a basin of water and prepared to douse the fire. Moments later, a second man approached calmly, stepped close to the still burning tank and quickly shut the valve by hand, stopping the fuel flow. The video ended with the flames fully extinguished and both men standing safely outside.

Visit to the works of the Galindo Storm Tank - Barakaldo

Several people work during a visit to the construction site of the Galindo Storm Tank, December 5, 2025, in Barakaldo, Biscay, Basque Country, Spain. The subway hydraulic infrastructure is designed to store excess rainwater to prevent untreated wastewater from reaching rivers, reducing flooding and improving water quality. The project has an investment of more than 46 million euros and is scheduled for completion by the end of 2027. Photo by H.Bilbao / Europa Press/ABACAPRESS.COM

Hebron Area Village Faces Demolition

Women stand near a water tank in the village of Umm al-Khair in the Masafer Yatta area, south of Hebron in the occupied West Bank, on October 29, 2025. Israeli occupation authorities have issued demolition orders targeting 13 homes, the community center and a health clinic in the village. According to village representative Khalil al-Hathalin, carrying out the orders would destroy about half of the village’s housing and displace roughly 150 residents from a population of 300. The demolitions would also leave approximately 65 children without recreational space or access to health services. Photo by Mosab Shawer/Middle East Images/ABACAPRESS.COM

World's Largest Neutrino Observatory - China

A staff member works beside the water tank of the central detector of the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) in Jiangmen, south China's Guangdong Province, Oct. 9, 2024. China has constructed the world's largest transparent spherical detector 700 meters underground to capture elusive neutrinos, often dubbed "ghost particles," to unravel the secrets of the infinitesimally small and the infinitely vast in the universe. The 12-story-tall acrylic sphere with a diameter of 35.4 meters, buried deep in a granite layer of a hill in Kaiping, Jiangmen City in south China's Guangdong Province, is the core part of JUNO, a gigantic and complex scientific facility. The construction of the challenging project, launched by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and the Guangdong government in 2015, has entered the final stage. Installation of the entire device is expected to be completed by the end of November, and the full operation of the facility is scheduled for August 2025, according to the Institute of Hig
