Australian doctor reveals how Wild Boars were sedated

11 Sept 20:14 Key points summarised by AI

Dr. Richard Harris, an Australian doctor involved in the Tham Luang cave rescue, disclosed he trained divers to re-administer anaesthetic drugs to the Wild Boar team during their extraction.
The anaesthetic's limited one-hour effectiveness required repeated sedation for each of the 13 individuals during the three-hour rescue journey out of the cave.
Harris lauded the extraordinary courage of the divers for administering potentially 'life-threatening' drugs to the children in perilous conditions to ensure their safe removal.
He and dive partner Craig Challen were awarded Australia's second-highest bravery decoration for their 'conspicuous courage' during the operation.

Suchada: Meet the reluctant star of Thailand’s cryptic crypto drama

Today 15:38 Key points summarised by AI

Thai MP Suchada Zhang Thaensap faces intense scrutiny over her husband’s substantial 1.84 billion baht wealth, with opposition lawmakers alleging connections to international scam networks.
A significant portion of her husband, Taiyang Zhang's, declared assets includes a 1.44 billion baht loan to the now-bankrupt cryptocurrency hedge fund Three Arrows Capital, which still owes him 1.34 billion baht.
Opposition MP Rangsiman Rome accused Suchada's husband of links to online scam networks and gambling sites, prompting Suchada to vehemently deny the claims, demand evidence, and file a defamation complaint.
Taiyang Zhang's background includes co-founding Ren Protocol, later sold to Alameda Research (linked to the FTX collapse), and some of his former associates have been convicted in crypto company failures.
Suchada, a former actress and first-time MP, maintains her husband's innocence, while her party leaders have distanced themselves from the allegations, deeming it a private matter.
