A
powerful magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck off the coast of Indonesia
early Saturday, damaging buildings and homes, and triggering a tsunami
warning. Authorities urged people on affected coastlines to move to
higher ground.The U.S Geological Survey said the quake hit Indonesia's
Flores region with a depth of 10 kilometers at 5:58 a.m. Indonesia time.
Its epicentre was 68 kilometres north-northwest of the city of Ende in
East Nusa Tenggara province.The initial quake was followed by several
aftershocks. There were no immediate reports of casualties.Indonesia's
Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency issued a tsunami warning
for part of East Nusa Tenggara, West Nusa Tenggara, South Sulawesi and
Southeast Sulawesi provinces, and urged residents to stay away from
beaches and riverbanks.The agency located the shallow undersea quake
near Flores island.Residents along affected coastlines were advised to
move to higher ground as officials are closely monitoring coastal tide
gauges for any changes.The quake was felt across much of Flores island.
Initial reports indicated there was damage to homes and public
facilities, though officials had not yet released estimates of the
number of damaged buildings or any casualties.Yohanna Embu, a resident
of Sikka, a regency within East Nusa Tenggara province, said a number of
buildings were damaged by the strong shaking and panicked people ran to
higher ground."Many buildings here were damaged ... I saw that the
waiting room at the port terminal in Maumere had collapsed," she
said.Students at St. Peter Major Seminary in Sikka who were attending
morning Mass fled in panic when the roof of an assembly hall collapsed,
said the Rev. Guidelbertus Tanga, rector of the seminary, which is known
locally as Ritapiret Seminary on the predominantly Catholic island of
Flores."Our students and nuns ran out in panic beneath a collapsing
roof," Tanga said, "At least one priest suffered a broken leg after
jumping from the second floor of a building during the quake."Indonesia,
a vast archipelago of more than 17,000 islands, is prone to earthquakes
and volcanic activity because of its location on the "Ring of Fire," an
arc of volcanoes and fault lines in the Pacific Basin.In December of

Magnitude 7.7 Quake Strikes Off
Indonesia's Coast, Toppling Buildings and Killing at Least 20-Asharq Al
Awsat-08:07-15 August 2026 AD ـ 02 Rabi’ Al-Awwal 1448 AH
A
powerful magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck off the coast of Indonesia
early Saturday, killing at least 20 people, collapsing buildings and
homes as well as causing panic in a region prone to deadly quakes.
Authorities said six people were injured, and two others were missing
after a landslide triggered by the quake.Authorities issued a tsunami
warning and urged coastal residents to move to higher ground, but later
lifted the warning when Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology and
Geophysics Agency said monitoring showed no significant sea-level
changes that would pose a threat to coastal communities.The US
Geological Survey said the quake hit Indonesia's Flores region with a
depth of 10 kilometers at 5:58 a.m. local time. Its epicenter was 68 km
(42 miles) north-northwest of the city of Ende in East Nusa Tenggara
province. The initial quake was followed by several aftershocks.The head
of the Maumere Search and Rescue Agency, Fathur Rahman, said rescuers
have recovered at least 20 bodies in the three devastated regencies of
Sikka, West Manggarai, and East Manggarai, including eight bodies that
were pulled from a landslide in the village of Reok in Manggarai. Six
people were rushed to nearby hospitals with severe injuries.He said
rescuers were still searching for two villagers believed to be buried
under tons of mud that tumbled down from the surrounding hills in a
landslide triggered by the quake, The Associated Press reported.East
Nusa Tenggara Police Chief Rudi Darmoko said the earthquake caused
severe damage and collapsed buildings. He said power outages in cities
and villages have hampered the flow of information and complicated
search and rescue efforts.“We are continuing to collect reports of
damage and casualties, but there are communication disruptions,” Darmoko
said. He said that landslides in Ende regency triggered by the
earthquake also cut off the Trans-Flores highway, a roughly
700-kilometer (435-mile) paved mountain road spanning Flores Island,
from Labuan Bajo to Larantuka.Footage on local television showed
patients at several hospitals being evacuated from buildings as a
precaution following the quake. Hospital staff moved equipment outdoors,
including beds, IV stands and oxygen cylinders, and set up temporary
treatment areas to adapt to emergency conditions.The National Disaster
Management Agency deployed a helicopter to assist with logistics and
support emergency response operations, including possible evacuations if
needed, the agency said in a statement.The air support is considered
crucial given East Nusa Tenggara’s geography, which consists of numerous
islands and presents significant transportation and access
challenges.It said about 2,000 villagers in Nagekeo regency fled their
homes to temporary shelters.The quake was felt across much of Flores
island with initial reports indicating heavy damage.Yohanna Embu, a
resident of Sikka regency, said a number of buildings were damaged by
the strong shaking and panicked people ran to higher ground.“Many
buildings here were damaged ... I saw that the waiting room at the port
terminal in Maumere had collapsed,” she said.The quake also reportedly
caused panic in Labuan Bajo, a gateway town to eastern Indonesia’s
Komodo National Park, one of the country’s best-known attractions.Damage
was also reported in Bima, a city in neighboring West Nusa Tenggara
province, and in some parts of southern Sulawesi island.Indonesian
authorities initially issued a tsunami warning for parts of East Nusa
Tenggara, West Nusa Tenggara, South Sulawesi and Southeast Sulawesi
provinces, and urged residents to stay away from beaches and riverbanks.
The agency located the shallow undersea quake near Flores
island.Indonesia prone to earthquakes Indonesia, a vast archipelago of

More than 160 people killed in
Colombia’s strongest earthquake in years-The 7.4-magnitude earthquake,
which hit about 250 miles west of Bogotá, caused serious damage to
infrastructure and left people trapped in collapsed buildings.Aug. 10,
2026, 9:32 AM EDT / Updated Aug. 11, 2026, 10:47 AM EDT-By Nicole
Acevedo, Maya Rosenberg, George Solis and Dennis Romero
At least
169 people were killed Monday in a 7.4-magnitude earthquake that shook
western Colombia, collapsing hospitals, schools and other buildings and
leaving people trapped under the rubble.The worst-hit cities include
Pereira, Cali, Quibdó, Manizales and Armenia, all of which remain under
“red alert,” the nation’s highest-level disaster threat level, according
to Colombia’s nonprofit Association of Capital Cities, which provided
the death toll.Seven airports have suspended operations, and hospitals,
roads, transportation, aqueducts, energy and telecommunications have
been disrupted in the areas hardest hit, it said.Colombia’s newly
inaugurated president, Abelardo De La Espriella, said in a national
briefing that 700 people were injured in the temblor and an estimated
5,000 homes were damaged or destroyed.Earlier in the day, he declared a
national disaster to allow for the mobilization and coordination of
emergency efforts.Speaking from the Unified Command Center he had
ordered into existence earlier in the day, De La Espriella said 188
people were missing, three hospitals had collapsed, and 18 other
hospitals had been affected. Thirty-nine schools were also affected, he
said.Elected officials have reported people trapped inside collapsed
buildings and serious structural damage throughout the quake-hit
region.The quake’s epicenter was reported in the municipality of San
José del Palmar in the department of Chocó. Colombia’s Geological
Service said it was the country’s strongest earthquake this century,
Reuters reported.In Valle del Cauca, about 254 miles south of Chocó,
Gov. Dilian Francisca Toro said “the situation is serious.”She reported
the deaths of 27 people across Valle del Cauca, including three
children. Speaking from the University Hospital of the Valley, Toro said
the facility suffered “structural collapses” and that rescue and
evacuation operations were completed Monday.Video from the location
verified by NBC News shows medical staff in white tending to infants in
hospital bassinets outdoors. At least one medical professional was shown
holding a baby in her arms.In Chocó, Gov. Nubia Carolina Córdoba-Curi
said on social media that injuries and serious damage to buildings had
been reported in the capital city of Quibdó, about 188 miles northwest
of the reported epicenter.“We are already conducting a damage assessment
to issue the first official report,” Córdoba-Curi wrote on X in
Spanish.As of Monday night, Córdoba-Curi reported 13 deaths in Chocó.
Earlier, she said 84 people had been injured.In Pereira, a city in
Colombia’s coffee-growing region, Mayor Mauricio Salazar said 18 people
had died. In nearby Manizales, Mayor Jorge Eduardo Rojas said two
people were killed.Alejandro Eder, the mayor of Cali, said that at least
20 buildings had collapsed in the city and some had “people trapped
inside.” Emergency response teams have set up tents in the area to
coordinate rescue efforts, Eder added.Sunday was the beginning of a
weeklong festival celebrating the region’s Afro-Pacific culture, which
brings hundreds of thousands of tourists to Cali, Colombia’s
third-largest city.Cali resident Luis Angel Sarria told NBC News he
strongly felt the earthquake there.“There are many damaged buildings,
collapsed buildings, people trapped and fatalities; the quake felt here
was very severe,” Sarria, a taxi driver, said in Spanish. “What has
happened here in my country has been very hard and very sad.”While
Sarria and his immediate family are safe, he said, “We are saddened by
the loss of life.”In Cali, rescue teams and volunteers began clearing
rubble as they searched for survivors trapped beneath some of the
collapsed buildings.In Jamundí, about 15 miles south of Cali, Maria
Alejandra Soto Zea was inside her apartment with her 2-year-old son when
she felt the earthquake. Its intensity grew quickly, she said, leaving
her unable to quickly evacuate her home.As she sought the exit, Soto Zea
said, the shaking was so intense that she made it only to the kitchen.
There, she held on to the kitchen counter with all her strength while
also carrying her toddler, she told NBC News in Spanish.“Right now, I
have back pain from the stress of the moment, from shouting, from
gripping the counter so tightly and from the anguish of thinking I
wouldn’t be able to get out of here with my son,” Soto Zea said.When the
trembling subsided, the 27-year-old mother took the stairs seven
stories down with her young child in her arms and evacuated the
building. Worried about aftershocks, she began packing a few bags on
Monday afternoon to stay with relatives elsewhere.The Trump
administration is committing $15.5 million to Colombia for emergency
shelter, food, protection and other needs, the State Department said
Monday on X.It said the U.S. is ready to support De La Espriella and his
government as they assess the country’s needs. “We are united in prayer
with the Colombian people,” the State Department said.The International
Rescue Committee, a global nonprofit group focused on providing aid
during humanitarian crises, said in a statement that its staff near
Chocó was reporting damage to hospitals and clinics.“Local communities
were already facing armed conflict and high levels of poverty long
before the ground began to shake. Chocó, at the epicenter of the quake,
is the poorest region in the country,” said Nicole Kast, the
organization’s director for Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador. “We are
deeply concerned that today’s natural disaster will make the needs on
the ground even steeper as people lose access to health care and other
essential services.”According to Colombia’s civil aviation authority,
airports in Cali, Pereira, Manizales, Quibdó, Armenia, Cartago and
Buenaventura were affected in some way by the temblor, including by
electricity outages. Flights at these airports have been suspended
“pending an assessment of structural damage to the facilities,” it
said.Later, it said Alfonso Bonilla Aragón International Airport between
Palmira and Cali was operational following restoration of
electricity.José Gallegos was inside the airport in Pereira when the
earthquake hit. In videos posted to his Instagram account, Gallegos can
be seen hiding underneath a table as plumes of dust burst in the air and
parts of the ceiling crashed into the ground.“Everything fell apart in a
second,” Gallegos, an influencer, told Noticias Telemundo Ahora in
Spanish. He was recording a live video when disaster struck.Gallegos
described seeing walls collapsing, trapping people underneath. “At that
moment, I thought I was going to die,” he said.Halley Sherwood, who
lives in the city of Armenia along with her husband, said in a phone
interview that some buildings collapsed and many more appear to have
intense damage.Water and Wi-Fi were cut off before returning within a
few hours, she said.“As of right now everyone is outside their homes
waiting,” Sherwood said. “We were told there could be aftershocks.”The
damage in Armenia, part of the country’s coffee-growing region, has
brought back painful memories for residents of a 6.1-magnitude
earthquake that rocked the area in 1999, causing nearly 1,200 deaths and
leaving an estimated 250,000 homeless, according to the U.S. Geological
Survey.“My husband and his family are all shook up, because last time
it was really bad,” Sherwood said.Less than an hour after the initial
earthquake, an aftershock measured at magnitude 5.0 struck about 10
miles west of San José del Palmar, according to the USGS. It was not
immediately clear whether it caused damage or hampered rescue
efforts.The earthquake follows two back-to-back 7.2- and 7.5-magnitude
earthquakes in Venezuela in late June that killed more than 6,000
people.Soto Zea said that surviving Monday’s earthquake in Colombia
after witnessing the devastation left behind in nearby Venezuela has
left her feeling very nervous.“It’s very overwhelming,” she said. “This
shakes up your life because it leaves you thinking about how fragile
life is.”

Spain removes remains of 11th century kings from
monastery as Europe’s wildfires spread-Weeks without rain revealed the
remains of an ancient bridge in Rome’s Tiber River, as multiple European
countries battle to contain spreading fires in hot and dry
conditions.Aug. 14, 2026, 9:08 AM EDT / Source: Reuters-By Reuters and
The Associated Press
Spanish authorities on Thursday removed the
remains of three kings who ruled the Aragón region in the 11th century
from a monastery threatened by a wildfire.Their remains were taken to
the provincial museum of Huesca, located 50 miles south of the
monastery, for their protection until conditions improve, said the
northeastern region’s vice-president Mar Vaquero.After the wildfire
that had been raging since Monday began moving toward the 10th century
San Juan de la Peña monastery late on Thursday, concern that it could
be engulfed by flames prompted authorities to launch a rescue
operation, Vaquero told reporters.An emergency military unit team
managed to enter the monastery, located in a mountain range, and take
ceremonial clothing belonging to an 18th-century count buried there,
before the proximity of the flames forced them to flee.The team
returned a second time, accompanied by police officers and heritage
officials, and removed the remains of the first three kings of Aragón —
who ruled between 1035 and 1104 — from a pantheon within the monastery,
as well as some historical paintings.The wildfire had intensified
earlier on Thursday, fuelled by higher temperatures and strong winds.
It has burned more than 3.5 square miles and forced the evacuation of
16 towns, although the monastery remained unharmed on Friday
morning.Evacuations as wildfires spread-As large parts of Europe battle
fires after a long stretch of hot and dry conditions, a raging wildfire
in the province of Huelva, southern Spain, triggered an operation to
evacuate around 700 people on Thursday.More than 2,000 people evacuated
the village of Gey in western Germany on Friday after a wildfire near
the Belgian border, while France evacuated 525 people from the village
of Luglon in its southwestern Landes region.Meanwhile, Croatia and
Greece both evacuated tourists from resorts as fires spread. Flames
enveloped settlements and trees around Omis, a scenic town on Croatia’s
prized Dalmatian coast surrounded by trees and rocky hills, officials
said, injuring 40 and forcing 1,200 to evacuate.More than 300 people
were evacuated by boat from Siviri in northern Greece, south of the
country’s second city, Thessaloniki.People wearing face masks, some
clutching children or pets, boarded dinghies and boats in the seaside
town as a wildfire ate through the nearby forest and columns of smoke
turned the cloudless sky a dark grey.Nero’s Bridge emerges-The remains
of an ancient bridge have emerged in Rome’s Tiber River, near St.
Peter’s Basilica, after weeks with virtually no rain caused water levels
to plunge.The bridge — known as Nero’s Bridge, named for the former
Roman emperor — once connected Rome’s city center with the Tiber’s right
bank.“Nero is the most famous person linked to this area, because
precisely in Nero’s circus, where the Vatican is now located, the
Apostle Peter was martyred,” said Antonella Bonini, an archaeologist at
Rome’s cultural heritage superintendency.“However, scholars consider the
bridge to be older (than Nero’s era) — built by Caligula, Nero’s
uncle,” she said, adding that it existed as early as 39 AD.The Tiber’s
flow has fallen below 80 cubic meters (2,825 cubic feet) per second,
about half the historic average for the month of July, according to
Giovanni Giganti, coordinator of the Rome civil protection service’s
center for water management.“We are facing a major water crisis. And it
is a crisis that is also due to the fact that this winter we did have
quite abundant rainfall, but then the dry periods ... were quite long,”
Giganti said.
Smoke description-NOAA provides narrative
description of smoke and dust, reported here as it appears on its
website.SMOKE:Canada - Wildfires in the Northwest Territories continued
to burn this evening, producing a regional layer of moderate-to-heavy
density smoke. The smoke drifted east across much of Canada before
turning northeast through Quebec and eventually moving off the coast of
Newfoundland and Labrador. Wildfires in southern British Columbia
produced moderate-to-heavy density smoke plumes that joined with the
fires in the Pacific Northwest of CONUS. A layer of light-density smoke
extended across much of Canada, drifting east from the Northwest
Territories before moving south into eastern CONUS and eastward over the
Atlantic Ocean. Additional light-density smoke originating from the
Pacific Northwest and British Columbia also contributed to the overall
light smoke coverage.CONUS/Atlantic Ocean - Wildfires across the Pacific
Northwest continued to produce moderate density smoke across the region
this evening. The smoke drifted southward into northern California and
north into British Columbia. A fire in Throckmorton County, Texas began
burning this evening, producing moderate-to-heavy smoke that drifted
north into southern Oklahoma. Light smoke over the fires in the
southeast merged with the smoke from Canada that moved eastward into the
Atlantic Ocean.Mexico/Gulf of America/Pacific Ocean - Light-density
smoke was observed over along the Mexican Gulf Coast, Central Mexico,
and the Gulf of America, some of which drifted southwestward across
southern Mexico into the Pacific Ocean. A region layer of
moderate-density smoke was also observed in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec
before extending southwestward into the Pacific Ocean.Source: NOAA
European
countries battle multiple wildfires as record heat grips the
continent-By ANGELA CHARLTON and SYLVIA HUI-Updated 9:47 AM EDT, August
14, 2026
PARIS (AP) — Firefighters across Europe struggled
against multiple fires Friday as a new wave of record-breaking heat
baked a swath of the continent, their task further complicated by
exceptionally parched landscapes.The historic temperatures are linked to
human-caused climate change, and are hitting countries more used to
long cold seasons and ill-equipped for this sort of heat, with limited
air conditioning.With France experiencing its driest year ever, a new
fire raced through woodlands overnight in the Landes region on the
southwest coast. The blaze forced more than 500 people to evacuate their
homes in the town of Luglon as hundreds of firefighters deployed to the
area, the regional administration said Friday.It’s one of several fires
scorching forests around France this week, including in normally cooler
and wetter regions in the north and Brittany. A historic fire devoured
forests near Bordeaux last month and pushed a quarter of a million
people from their homes.France also has shut down six nuclear reactors
in recent days because of extreme heat and drought — and because a mass
of jellyfish washed up outside one power plant on the English Channel
coast, utility company EDF said. Large numbers of jellyfish are
appearing on many French beaches in connection with unusually warm sea
temperatures.In a statement, the company said the shutdowns had minimal
impact on France’s electricity production. It said extreme weather poses
no safety risks to the reactors themselves.UK wildfires come as London
records its hottest day of the year-In the central English town of
Stourbridge, where a huge blaze started Thursday, TV footage showed the
fires consuming houses, with many left without roofs as flames burned
inside the charred walls. About 20 to 30 homes were completely
destroyed, Stourbridge lawmaker Cat Eccles told the BBC.A woman who was
evacuated from her Stourbridge home said police knocked on her door and
urged her to leave immediately.“They thought the fire was changing
directions, and they didn’t know which direction it was going in,” Jane
Baxter told BBC Radio. “So, it was literally ‘grab what you need and get
out.’”Simon Tuhill, chief fire officer of West Midlands Fire Service,
said an investigation will be launched but the fire was believed to have
started in the grassland before spreading to homes nearby.Nineteen
people and six firefighters were hospitalized for smoke inhalation and
other injuries from multiple wildfires in the West Midlands region. In
nearby Stoke-on-Trent, a 23-year-old man and a 24-year-old woman were
arrested Friday on suspicion of arson over a large grass fire that
spread quickly.The Met Office, the official weather agency, said 38.1C
(100.6 F) was recorded in west London on Thursday, marking the hottest
day of the year. While temperatures cooled slightly on Friday, many
parts of the country have seen little to no rain for weeks. This July
has been the driest in England and Wales since records began in
1836.Spanish authorities on Thursday night transferred the remains of
three 11th Century kings from a monastery in the northeastern Aragón
region near an active wildfire.The remains were taken to a museum about
80 kilometers (50 miles) south of the 10th-century San Juan de la Peña
monastery, which remained unharmed Friday, according to regional
authorities.Paintings, liturgical objects and the clothes of a notable
18th-century Spanish count were among the other items removed from the
monastery.The wildfire was not yet contained midday Friday with some 800
residents evacuated. Temperatures were expected to cool slightly
Saturday.A separate, much larger wildfire in southern Spain has burned
more than 300 square kilometers (120 square miles) in the province of
Huelva, also forcing evacuations.Firefighters battle forest fire in
Germany-All 1,800 residents of the village of Gey in western Germany
were evacuated after a wildfire with shifting winds in the nearby
Hürtgen forest threatened to reach their homes. Nearly 300 hectares
(1.16 square miles) of forest were ablaze on Friday morning, local
authorities said.Unexploded ordnance from World War II in the forest
hampered firefighting efforts, German news agency dpa reported.The fire
advanced to within 300 meters (1,000 feet) of Gey, which sits on the
edge of the forest near the Belgian border. The cause of the blaze
remains unknown.Germany has set a new record for heat-related deaths so
far this year, surpassing the 2018 level for the entire year, the Robert
Koch Institute said Thursday. An estimated 12,500 people died from
heat-related causes between Jan. 1 and Aug. 2.Fire in Croatia leaves 1
dead, 14 hospitalized-In Croatia, one person was killed and 14 people
were hospitalized, of whom seven remained in life-threatening condition
early Friday, from a fire that raged overnight by the coastal town of
Omis and forced more than 1,000 people to evacuate their homes. The
person’s body was found as police combed through the burned-out area.The
fire erupted late Thursday in an Omis suburb and quickly spread because
of strong wind. The regional maritime authorities said 194 people,
including children, were plucked from the sea and from various boats as
they tried to flee the fire.Firefighters put out the blaze by Friday
morning as other crews in planes headed further south toward the
Peljesac peninsula, where another wildfire broke out
overnight.Firefighters keep Albania’s largest wildfire from spreading to
homesAlbania has been battling dozens of wildfires in recent weeks,
with 11 active fires reported across the country Friday.The largest fire
is in the Gure-Lure area, where the perimeter near residential homes
has been brought under control.Three people have been prosecuted over

Canadian wildfire that forced 20,000 to flee may signal ‘new normal’Updated 2:46 AM EDT, August 13, 2026
PENTICTON,
British Columbia (AP) — A wildfire that forced more than 20,000 people
from their homes in western Canada moved so quickly that crews had to
abandon firefighting to help residents escape, a pace British Columbia’s
premier said Wednesday may represent a “new normal.”The Bald Range
wildfire erupted Friday near Summerland, a community of about 12,000 in
British Columbia’s Okanagan region. By Wednesday, it had grown to about
184 square kilometers (71 square miles) after destroying homes and
killing an 80-year-old woman.“There’s an important set of lessons for us
to take about how quickly this moved and that this may be our new
normal for fire speed,” Premier David Eby said. He said the blaze
outpaced wildfire modeling and left some residents with little time to
evacuate.Officials have begun damage assessments, but the area remained
unsafe Wednesday and there was no timeline for residents to return.Crews
were clearing vegetation to help slow the fire’s spread as officials
warned that thunderstorms could bring erratic winds and increase fire
activity. Highway 97, a major route through the area, remained
closed.Eby visited an evacuation reception center in Penticton, where he
said he met people devastated by the loss of their homes.“A lot of
emotions in there, obviously,” he told reporters, calling the woman’s
death a “tragic loss.”Summerland pharmacist Jonathan Kiesman said he was
worried about displaced patients getting their medications and said
seeing the fire approach the community “almost brought tears to my
eyes.”Officials said they were withholding broader details on property
losses until residents could be notified directly.“The last thing that I
would want is somebody to have the shock of finding out on social media
or on television about their home being lost,” British Columbia
Emergency Management Minister Kelly Greene said.Eby said the province
would review the response, including whether changes are needed to
wildfire planning, building standards and vegetation management near
communities.Given the drought and summer heat, he warned, “this is very
unlikely to be the last significant fire we see this summer.”Summerland
Mayor Doug Holmes warned that recovery would be long and
difficult.Canada has endured a series of severe wildfire seasons in
recent years, with smoke repeatedly drifting into the United States. In
record-setting 2023, fires burned more than 14.6 million hectares (36
million acres), an area roughly the size of Illinois.Canada has warmed
faster than the global average in recent decades, while the amount of
land burned by wildfires has increased substantially. Much of the
country’s forest is remote and dominated by spruce and pine, conditions
that can make fires difficult to contain once they become established.
A
Canadian payment giant is being sold to U.S. private equity. Is your
digital privacy at risk? Moneris handles roughly 1 in 3 payment
transactions across Canada-Brock Wilson · CBC News · Posted: Aug 14,
2026 4:00 AM EDT | Last Updated: August 14
A payment processing
company responsible for approximately one in three payment transactions
across Canada will soon be owned by an American private equity firm.The
Royal Bank of Canada and Bank of Montreal announced earlier this week
they would be selling jointly owned Moneris, one of Canada's largest
commerce solutions providers, to Francisco Partners for $2 billion.So
far, it's been positive for both RBC and BMO, with the companies' shares
jumping after the deal's announcement. RBC expects to gain about $475
million from the sale after tax, and BMO $600 million.However, some
industry analysts are raising concerns the move could have negative
repercussions for Canada's digital sovereignty amid the country's
ongoing trade war with the U.S.Wide-reaching implications-Broadly
speaking, digital sovereignty refers to the power of a country, or
individual, to retain control over its own digital assets.In September,
AI Minister Evan Solomon said that Canada needs to create a sovereign
digital economy that is "free from coercion."Artificial Intelligence
Minister Evan Solomon says the Protecting Privacy and Consumer Data Act
will help keep Canadians safe in the digital age. 'I think it's a
common-sense approach to what Canadians and what average folks want from
their digital media,' Solomon said on Monday about the new bill. 'They
want some control over their personal information.'That same month,
dozens of experts and academics penned an open letter urging Prime
Minister Mark Carney to swiftly "defend Canada's digital sovereignty"
and protect the country from the whims of the Trump administration. It's
a sentiment Sharon Polsky, president of the Privacy and Access Council
of Canada, shares."Canadians should be concerned because this is their
information," she said."We're now going to have what has been a Canadian
data-processing company that has access to everybody's purchasing
habits ... available to other governments."Thousands of businesses in
Canada use Moneris. The processor services more than 325,000 points of
commerce and processes more than five billion transactions every year,
according to a press release from the company.Polsky said the deal means
Canadians' data could be available, not only to foreign governments,
but foreign law enforcement agencies.She gave an example of U.S. border
agents potentially checking an individual's transaction history before
allowing them to enter the country."Will you be stopped at the border
because your purchase records indicate that you bought something with
THC?" she said, referring to a chemical compound found in cannabis,
which remains illegal in the U.S. under federal jurisdiction."It's
possible these days, much more possible than ever before."Transaction
data as leverage? That the deal is happening as the countries grapple
with a trade war only heightens Polsky's concerns."It's easy to foresee
that the rich data that comes from millions of Canadians' purchases
could easily be leveraged to inform trade negotiations," said Polsky,
who has advised corporations and governments for more than 30 years on
privacy and access matters.Colin Deacon, an Independent Canadian
senator, is also concerned about how the U.S. government could use
Canadians' data."[Data] under force and under request from the U.S.
government could be then shared on an individual basis," said Deacon
during an interview with CBC's Power and Politics.Nova Scotia Sen. Colin
Deacon is warning against further financial integration with the United
States after one of Canada's biggest payment processing platforms was
bought by an American bidder. Deacon joins Power & Politics to
discuss why he is so concerned about this acquisition."There's a number
of ways in which [U.S. President Donald Trump] has absolute control over
services that Canadians rely on every day."Both BMO and RBC pointed to
press releases announcing the deal, refusing to provide further comment
when contacted by CBC News."As ownership transitions to FP, Moneris's
commitment to serving Canadian businesses will remain unchanged," read a
separate press release from Moneris.Privacy legislation in the
works-Canada's legislation meant to protect digital privacy isn't where
it needs to be, according to Polsky, who said this comes at Canadians'
"collective peril.""Canada isn't ready," she said.Polsky argues there's a
clear outcome if a company based in Canada is compelled by the U.S. to
supply data as a result of this deal."If the choice is either to comply
with the American law or go to jail, or comply with Canadian legislation
that really is nowhere near as stringent … it's a no-brainer. They will
comply with the American legislation."The Canadian government has taken
steps to address digital sovereignty. In June, the government
introduced Bill C-36, the Protecting Privacy and Consumer Data Act.It
proposes a major overhaul of Canada's private sector privacy framework,
updating language to establish privacy as a "fundamental right" and
replace parts of the Personal Information Protection and Electronic
Documents Act (PIPEDA), which sets out rules for how businesses,
including tech, airlines and banks, collect and use customers' data.The
bill also requires companies to conduct a "privacy impact assessment"
before transferring personal data outside of Canada.At the time,
government officials said the legislation would cover any company that
has a "substantial connection" to Canada.But Polsky said C-36, and the
Liberals' other attempts to update Canada's digital privacy laws, only
"dance around the issues.""They don't really speak to data being
retained in Canada as a matter of national security or as a matter of
data sovereignty," she said.Bill C-36 represents the Liberal
government's third attempt to update privacy regulations, following
failed attempts in 2020 and 2023. It underwent its first reading in
June, but has a number of steps to go before becoming law.Meanwhile, the
sale of Moneris still requires regulatory approvals, including
clearance under the Competition Act, and is expected to close by the end
of the banks' fiscal first quarter in 2027.Where does that leave
Canada? "Behind the eight ball," said Polsky."[Canada is] trying to look
tough, but we have a ways to go."Clarifications-An earlier version of
this story said Moneris processes more than $5 billion in transactions
every year. In fact, Moneris processes more than 5 billion transactions
every year. Aug 14, 2026 10:41 AM EDT

Subdermal
microchip implants are tiny electronic devices, usually the size of a
grain of rice, injected under the skin (most often in the hand between
the thumb and index finger). They use Near Field Communication (NFC) or
Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID), require no battery, and function
as digital keys, transit passes, or payment wallets.How the Technology
WorksNo Battery Needed: The chips stay dormant and only wake up when a
scanning device or reader is placed close to them.Simple Injection: A
practitioner uses a preloaded syringe to place the biocompatible glass
capsule just beneath the top layer of skin.Immediate Use: The passive
transponder works instantly once implanted to transmit a unique
identification number or encrypted data string.Common UsesAccess
Control: Unlocking office doors, home smart locks, and gym
memberships.Contactless Payments: Swiping a hand over a terminal to buy
items through platforms like Walletmor.Identification and Data: Storing
digital business cards, emergency medical details, or transit
tickets.Risks and ConcernsPrivacy Issues: Critics worry about tracking
data, corporate overreach, or third parties accessing sensitive personal
profiles.Security Limits: While current chips only hold short ID
strings rather than massive tracking data, legacy standards or cloned
signals pose theoretical vulnerabilities.Health and Removal: Rejection
or minor tissue irritation can happen, though removal usually requires a
simple medical incision if a user wants it extracted.If you're

Everything You Need To Know Before Getting An RFID Implant-Dr. Bertalan Mesko, PhD-8 min | 3 March 2025
Theoretically,
RFID implants offer practical benefits as contactless payments,
unlocking doors, and accessing medical data, with just a wave of your
hand.However, the implants still face challenges such as safety
concerns, potential infections, and limited data capacity.Ethical
considerations surrounding privacy, surveillance, and potential
discrimination must also be addressed – nevertheless, the idea offers a
glimpse into a future where technology seamlessly integrates with our
bodies.What if you could open your front door or unlock your car just by
raising your hand? Never having to trouble yourself with your medical
documents? Or remembering where you’ve put your wallet. What about
sending your LinkedIn profile or a dancing monkey GIF to a phone just by
holding it? And what about turning on a coffee machine by pointing to
it? This is not the future anymore. Wannabe cyborgs with little RFID
chips under their skin are living with us: some fifty-thousand people
have implanted the tiny devices already under their skin to be able to
have simpler access to buildings or (other people’s) phones. Do you want
to join the cyborg community? Here’s what you should know about RFID
chips before you implant them into your body.Captain Cyborg and the RFID
implant-The radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology has been
around for decades. It uses radio waves to exchange data between a tag
(embedded with an antenna and integrated circuit) and a reader. RFID
tags come in various types – passive, active, and semi-passive – and
operate on different frequency bands, each with its own strengths and
limitations.RFID has a wide range of applications, from tracking luggage
and identifying pets to managing inventory in retail stores and even
monitoring medical equipment in hospitals. It’s also becoming
increasingly prevalent in the Internet of Things (IoT), enabling
everyday objects to communicate with each other. You probably already
have a personal RFID chip in your credit card, and they are increasingly
used for access control, contactless payments, and even social
interactions.The first-ever human to receive an RFID microchip implant
was British scientist Kevin Warwick (known by the moniker “Captain
Cyborg”) in 1998. This experiment allowed a computer to monitor Warwick
as he moved through halls and offices of the Department of Cybernetics
at the University of Reading, using a unique identifying signal emitted
by the implanted chip. He could operate doors, lights, heaters and other
computers without lifting a finger. Approximately two decades later,
the technology has been made commercially available, and tens of
thousands of people decided to implant an RFID chip. For example, groups
of people have been meeting at “implant parties,” often organized by
larger companies, to hook up. It’s especially popular in Sweden, where
more than 4,000 individuals can take pride in opening doors by only
lifting their hands. So, why is the rush? And why should you consider
implanting one? TMF Cyborg man RFID impant-Congratulations, you’ve been
RFID-chipped! In the future, an RFID chip implanted into your hand,
between your thumb and your index finger on the back of your hand, could
contain a lot of useful information – that you usually carry around in
your wallet or purse. It could transmit your identity information as you
walk through a security checkpoint, enable you to use public transport,
and make long lines at the supermarket checkout a thing of the past.
You wouldn’t have to worry about losing your most important documents or
your wallet ever again – and ‘within hand’s reach’ will most certainly
have a second layer of meaning. Moreover, imagine that in a medical
emergency situation, the first responders only have to scan your hand to
get to know every valuable bit of medical data about you.We are
obviously not there yet. Although the technology has ripened
significantly in recent years, even the most advanced chips still have
limitations. Modern RFID chips typically store more data than earlier
versions, though the increase in capacity has been gradual. However,
according to user reviews, they can serve multiple functions. “I use my
microchip to store my medical records and work portfolio, as well as to
use it as a crypto wallet and to unlock doors” – says Brandon Dalaly
about his implant in this article.In theory, you could connect it to
your bank account, your transit card for use in the subway, or to pay at
the grocery store. The challenge remains that many systems are not yet
designed to integrate seamlessly with such implants. However, upgrades
to these systems are expected in the near future to support RFID chip
functionality. In any case, if you find using entrance cards to access
your office outdated, you might convince your boss to order RFID chips
from Dangerous Things, an online store that sells various implantable
transponders, and the place where most people buy their
implants.Dangerous? Hackable? Limiting? – The hazards of RFID
chips-Before you hit the order button on Dangerous Things website to
order some implants, there are several things to think through as an
RFID implant isn’t a temporary tattoo, which can be removed by taking
ten showers. That’s actually one of the most problematic parts of these
chips: who is going to implant it, how safe it is for your health, and
how do you remove it? Medical Concerns-A recent study sheds light on the
increasing prevalence and potential complications of RFID implants in
humans. It highlights that while these implants are becoming popular for
tasks like contactless payments, opening doors, and storing personal
information, there are significant safety concerns. The study points out
that most implants are currently performed by non-medical
professionals, raising the risk of infections and adverse tissue
reactions. It calls for more involvement from medical professionals,
particularly hand surgeons, to develop standardized techniques for
implanting these devices safely and effectively. The study underscores
the need for further research to better understand the long-term
implications of RFID implants in human health.Dangerous Things
recommends their professional body piercing or body modification
partners to complete the installation of this product, but definitely
someone with experience performing aseptic procedures. Thus, you should
NOT experiment with implanting it yourself, and rather turn to a medical
professional who conducts the procedure in a clean area with sterilized
instruments to avoid the risk of infection. The company says that the
pain level of the implantation of the chip is that of a bee sting or
giving blood. The same is promised to be true for removing the RFID
transponder. Dangerous Things says that the removal or replacement
procedure is easy, you don’t have any interference issues with MRI, or
get caught at the airport security gates, metal detectors or airport
scanners due to your chip. In addition, the implants are pretty durable –
you can easily fight supervillains all day long, the RFID chip will
most probably not break.Privacy and surveillance worries-Although RFID
chips are not powerful enough to be tracked – just as dogs cannot be
tracked when they wander off – or to connect to any satellite, some have
fears that such chips give corporations the possibility to have control
over them. What if they could track users in the future? Would you want
a chip in your hand if it could tell for how long it took you to have a
shower or to go to work? Since most chips are offered through big
companies, it’s just a matter of time until this happens.Are the chip
implants hackable? Some biohackers say that it’s very easy to hack an
implant, so you’d rather not hide your life secrets in the implant’s
memory, but so far, we haven’t heard of major RFID chip hacks. On the
other hand, we know of at least one individual who used the chip
embedded into his hand to hack into other people’s phones, so that might
be a bigger concern. However, another idea that already surfaced among
concerned potential users, namely that your hands might be cut off if
someone wants to break into your house or office seems to be rather
Black Mirror-ish than something to be worried about.TMF cyborg hand RFID
implant-Am I really becoming a cyborg? On the other hand, implanted
RFID chips, just as digital tattoos or chest patches already represent
the second stage of cyborgization, and that’s because no matter what
Dangerous Things say, they cannot be removed as easily as your Flash
T-shirt at the end of the day. Remember the bug in Neo’s stomach in the
Matrix? He couldn’t have taken it out without help – but after some
time, no lasting marks remained.In the second stage of augmentation,
technology interacts with the human body in a way that it already has a
lasting, but not irreversible impact. Although their removal might be
problematic, implants, patches, and tattoos could be cut out and
discarded. Some extreme examples, where removal might be more difficult
than the user believes, already exist: Jerry Javala let doctors embed a
USB port into his finger prosthesis, but at the time being, RFID chips
seem to be on the easier end of the spectrum.So, if you decide to get an
RFID implant, you’ll still be very far from real-life cyborgs, such as
Neil Harbisson, an artist born with achromatopsia or extreme
colorblindness meaning he could only see in black-and-white. At first,
he received his specialised electronic eye, his “eyeborg” to be able to
render perceived colors as sounds on the musical scale. He is capable of
experiencing colors beyond the scope of normal human perception: Amy
Winehouse is red and pink, while ringtones are green.RFID implant
chip-All in all, the technology is very promising, although many might
find the abilities that an RFID chip can do at the moment rather as
geeky party tricks than useful everyday accessories making life easier.
