A military diver has died in the #Maldives while searching for four Italian nationals believed to be inside a maze-like underwater cave. - 🤿 British cave rescue expert John Volanthen says the recovery mission is challenging due to extreme depth, tight cave spaces, and low visibility - ⚠️ Deeper dives increase danger, including nitrogen narcosis -- a condition that can impair judgment and trigger panic underwater - 🌀 Silt, narrow passages, and complex cave layouts make navigation especially difficult for divers Volanthen stresses most diving incidents come from a "chain of small decisions," highlighting the importance of careful planning and staying within experience limits. I deeply appreciate John's expertise and his sympathy for the families of the victims. May they rest in peace. 🙏🏽

🌏🛢️ The rise in energy costs due to the US-Israeli war with Iran is hitting Asian economies especially hard. The Philippines has declared a state of national energy emergency -- the first country in the world to do so -- as the distant war in the Middle East triggers fuel shortages across Asia. While Manila's jeepney drivers struggle to stay on the road, Seoul is calling on people across South Korea to take shorter showers and avoid charging phones at night. Flagship airlines in the region are planning route cuts, factories are closing, and long gas lines are forming across the subcontinent. From Sri Lanka declaring all Wednesdays off to Thailand ordering government workers to lower the aircon, the region is embracing a variety of austerity measures to save energy. Here's our story.

Woah, I've been at CNN for 25 years.😳 In January 2001, I started with the network as one of its first multi-platform reporters when I wrote for and contributed to eBiz Asia and Tech Watch. I introduced global audiences to WiFi, cloud computing, and camera phones. (Again, this was a **quarter century** ago.) For 25 years, I've served as a Hong Kong-based anchor and correspondent for the network covering the territory, China, and Asia on TV, digital and mobile platforms reaching more than 475 million households around the world. I've clocked tens of thousands of hours of live video journalism, having anchored over a dozen different programs from NewsBiz Today and Eye on China to News Stream and CNN New Year's Eve Live Asia. So why have I been here so long? It all comes down to the team. CNN's Asia-Pacific headquarters has a culture of sharing and openness. Multi-tasking is embraced. And there's an eagerness to experiment and do more. As a child of Silicon Valley who experimented with early digital filmmaking and Web design in the 90s, I knew I found my creative and intellectual home here. Friends and fans know how much I enjoy covering innovation as well as thinking about how to innovate as a storyteller. From day one, I've been in hot pursuit of the creative rather than conventional, staying curious and never closed-minded. And I want to thank many of you for your sincere interest in my work. Your DM news tips, interviews, and even the fan selfies in the field have sustained me. After 25 years at CNN, I'm still trying new things. Let's keep creating as we craft the next era of news together.✌🏽
