    Gordonstoun Pupils Discover 1,000-Year-Old Viking Church on Uninhabited Island

    Pupils from Gordonstoun School, previously attended by King Charles, discovered a 1,000-year-old Viking church on the uninhabited Orkney island of Swona. The students, working with archaeologists from the Orkney Research Centre for Archaeology, found the remains of the medieval building during a six-day field trip. The discovery was made while staying in an old cottage with no electricity or running water. Experts believe the church is Viking due to its similarities to other churches from the 10th and 11th centuries, and radiocarbon dating may provide more information about its origins.

    Hong Kong Observatory Issues Signal One Due to Typhoon Shadler

    The Hong Kong Observatory has issued a Signal One due to the influence of Typhoon Shadler and the northeast monsoon. The signal is expected to remain in effect until at least 6 pm today. The typhoon is currently located about 520 kilometers west-southwest of Hong Kong and is moving east or east-northeast at a speed of about 22 kilometers per hour. Shadler is expected to pass about 200 kilometers east-southeast of Hong Kong this afternoon and then gradually strengthen and approach the eastern coast of Guangdong tonight and tomorrow, causing wind strength in Hong Kong to gradually increase. The Observatory will assess whether to issue a Strong Wind Signal based on Shadler's strength, the distance of its strong wind area from the Pearl River Estuary, and local wind changes.
