SYDNEY Derek Barnett Jersey , Aug. 3 (Xinhua) -- An Australian professional surfer who fought off a great white shark while competing in South Africa last month has donated his television appearance fee to a fellow great white shark attack survivor.
The three-time world champion Mick Fanning from Queensland reportedly donated his 75,000-Australian dollar (54,752 U.S. dollar) television appearance fee to fellow surfer Mathew Lee who was mauled by a great white shark on the northern New South Wales coast last month after recording an exclusive interview for local broadcaster Channel Nine.
Lee remains at the Gold Coast University Hospital after undergoing surgery on both legs after being mauled by a shark up to four meters long - according to eyewitness accounts - while body-boarding on the notorious coastal stretch Jay Ajayi Jersey , local media reported on Monday.
Fanning captivated global audiences after fighting off a suspected four-to-five meter great white shark during the final round of the Jeffreys Bay professional surfing event in South Africa last month, miraculously walking away unscathed. Fanning's ordeal was broadcast live at the time.
Channel Nine boss David Gyngell has also pledged a further 25, 000 Australian dollars (18.246 U.S. dollars) to Lee for ongoing treatment and rehabilitation Fletcher Cox Jersey , local media reported.
Fanning was hoping to visit Lee at his hospital bed for the program, however the meeting did not materialize as Lee underwent further surgery.
Craig Ison, another surfer who was attacked by a shark in the same area as Lee on Friday remains in an induced coma at the Gold Coast University Hospital following complications during his initial surgery.
During the exclusive interview Zach Ertz Jersey , broadcast on Sunday night, Fanning revealed he is seeking professional help to overcome the traumatic event in South Africa.
"I guess when something like this happens, you're in your own mind Nick Foles Jersey , and your mind can play tricks on you," Fanning said. "Your mind can ... turn shadows into demons, or stuff like that.
"And then you sort of have Dallas Goedert Jersey , like, different self-doubts, and like Carson Wentz Jersey , why did I get away with that?
"I'm going to seek help, for sure. I think it's the only way to deal with it."
During his first surf back in the water, filmed for the exclusive television interview Wholesale Eagles Hats , the 34-year-old claimed he had another close call, spotting a fin while in the water off the New South Wales coast.
"We were sitting on there and then we sort of looked and we just saw a tiny little fin," Fanning said back on the beach.
"You wouldn't believe it yeah Wholesale Eagles Hoodies , I swear to God ... it was a full shark, hey."
DAMASCUS， Jan. 3 (Xinhua) -- Several rebel groups announced on Monday that they were freezing talks on planned negotiations with the Syrian government， casting a shadow over the struggling peace process of the war-torn Middle Eastern country.
FREEZING TALKS
In a joint statement issued on Monday evening， the rebels said they were freezing talks on the peace negotiations in response to what it called "major violations" by the government forces in a four-day long ceasefire.
"Due to the worsening situation and the continuation of the breaches， the (rebel) factions declare freezing any talks related to the Astana negotiations...until the full implementation of the ceasefire deal，" said the statement.
The truce was brokered by Russia and Turkey and agreed upon by the Syrian government and major opposition and rebel groups， while terrorist organizations such as the al-Qaida-linked Nusra Front and the Islamic State (IS)， were excluded.
The ceasefire went into force at midnight Friday， with opposition activists saying it was still holding on Monday， despite the "breaches."
The talks between the government and rebels are due to take place in the Kazakh capital of Astana in late January before the rebels' latest statement.
The rebels claimed that the government forces repeatedly breached the truce， including the escalation of military offensives on the rebel-held town of Wadi Barada in northwestern Damascus， and Rastan area in the central province of Homs.
However， for the government forces， Wadi Barada is controlled by the Jabhat Fateh al-Sham， previously known as the al-Qaida-linked Nusra Front.
The government refused to acknowledge its attacks as breaches to the ceasefire， saying it's fighting the Nusra Front and the Islamic State (IS) group， which were excluded from the ceasefire and have both been declared as terrorist organizations by the United Nations (UN).
PEOPLE WITHOUT WATER
Moreover， the rebels in Wadi Barada have cut off the main water supply line to Damascus since Dec. 22， leaving the government with few options to restore the water source in that area， which feeds the capital's over 5 million inhabitants.
The UN said at least 4 million people in Damascus have been without water since then.
A report said around 1，000 women and children fled the area over the weekend.
The recent ceasefire is the third in Syria after two previous failing ones. The first was reached last February， which lasted for three months before collapsing， and the second one was established in September， which was observed for only a week.
The ceasefire deal， and the plan for peace talks， received the unanimous backing of the UN Security Council on Saturday.
Wu Haitao， China's deputy permanent representative to the UN， said the unanimous adoption of the resolution reflects the support of the UN and the international community for a comprehensive ceasefire in Syria and a political settlement of the Syrian issue.
