A | (ECNS) -- Torrential rain continued to batter parts of south China's Guangdong Province from Tuesday to Wednesday morning, with more than 100 towns and subdistricts recording rainstorms. The province's maximum rainfall reached 168.2 mm. According to the Guangdong Meteorological Bureau, frequent thunderstorms will continue to affect western Guangdong from Wednesday to Thursday, with some areas expected to experience torrential rainfall. From Thursday to Saturday, high temperatures are forecast to become more widespread across the province, although scattered thunderstorms are still expected in some cities and counties. Meteorological experts warned that the recent spell of persistent heavy rainfall has heightened the risk of secondary disasters, including landslides, mudslides and urban flooding. With soils already saturated from previous downpours, authorities also cautioned against delayed geological hazards. As hot weather returns, residents are advised to take precautions against heat-related illnesses and avoid prolonged outdoor work and activities. (By Gong Weiwei) 。 Kiev, Oct 14 (UNI) Ukrainian lawmaker Oleksiy Goncharenko put on a brave front on Friday after SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said his company could no longer afford to pay for Ukraine's access to the Starlink internet service.
SpaceX reportedly wrote a letter to the Pentagon asking the US government to foot the bill that Musk estimated at $20 million a month.
"This is normal practice. Musk’s company made good PR helping Ukraine and then sent a letter asking the Pentagon to pay for the use of Starlink. Nothing tragic, nothing scandalous here. It's business and profits are on everyone's mind," Goncharenko said on social media.
"Ukraine is grateful to Musk for Starlink and we will now be grateful to the Pentagon and the people of the United States for paying for the terminals. Hold the line and don’t panic," he added.
Musk said on social media on Friday that the cut in funding was his response to former Ukrainian envoy to Germany Andrij Melnyk who told the billionaire to "f*ck off" after Musk proposed a solution to the Ukrainian conflict.
