Pakistan's&nbsp;radio broadcaster, Radio Pakistan,&nbsp;put out a tweet on Sunday with maximum and minimum temperatures in Ladakh. However, contrary to its expectation, it was trolled by Twitteratis as the weather forecast was broadcasted with a major error.

The tweet from the Pakistani Twitter handle read:&nbsp;"In Ladakh, maximum temperature is -4 degree centigrade and minimum temperature is -1 degree centigrade."

However, Twitter observed the mistake in the tweet and quickly pointed out that&nbsp;-4 degree centigrade was lower than -1 degree centigrade, and therefore cannot be the maximum temperature.

This error led to Pakistan being subjected to yet another thread of jokes and memes.

"Wrong… max should be -1 and minimum should be -4," wrote a user.

"Ye tweet padh ke Pakistan ki maximum aukat aur minimum IQ pata chal gayi..(After reading the tweet one gets to know Pakistan's maximum status and minimum IQ)," joked&nbsp;another twitterati.

"RIP common sense!!! -4 max and - 1 min??? Kon se gole se science padhe ho (where have you studied science from)???" another user tweeted.

The tweet, that led to trolling, came days&nbsp;after India started the coverage of weather of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

India started broadcasting weather reports of PoK towns of Mirpur, Muzaffarabad and Gilgit-Baltistan after Amit Khare, the Secretary of Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, on Friday, issued order to&nbsp;All India Radio and DD News.

A lot of countries are now moving towards easing of lockdown, whether the coronavirus cases have decreased or not.

As on Sunday night, the total number of coronavirus positive cases has crossed 4.32 million mark globally, out of which nearly 1,516,060 people have recovered, and almost&nbsp;285,454 have lost their lives to the deadly coronavirus.

United States of America is one of the worst hit countries in the world. The death toll of the country, today, crossed 80,000. The country has more than 1.3 million cases now. However, New York, which was the epicentre, is now planning to end its partial lockdown, despite an increase in the cases.

United Kingdom, recently adopted the message of 'stay alert' instead of 'stay home', to urge people to stay alert even when they step out. UK reported almost 3,900 new cases which has increased the confirmed cases to nearly 223,000, including 32,000 deaths.

Russia, too, has announced that it will be easing its lockdown to revive its economy. However, the country reported 11,656 new coronavirus cases in the past 24 hours. Russia's death toll has crossed the 2,000 mark., and the total cases have reached near to 221,344.

France reported nearly 200 fresh cases, taking the toll to 139,000, including 26,380 deaths and 56,217 recovered patients. Spain has allowed people to step out, except for Madrid, as the cases decreased. The total toll stands near 227,000 cases out of which more than 137,000 people have recovered. The death toll in the past 24 hours was 123, which was 20 less than yesterday.

Gulf Arab countries saw a significant increase in&nbsp;the number of positive cases, as the six Gulf Arab states surpassed 100,000 on Monday. Saudi Arabia, which is the largest Arab Gulf state, has a total 41,014 cases, including 225 deaths.

Singapore reported 486 new cases, taking its tally to 28,822. However, 33 false positive cases were also identified. This is Singapore's lowest number in the last week.

On the other hand, Shanghai's Disneyland opened to public today, and saw a huge crowd excited to get back to the land of fantasies. New Zealand, too, has decided to move to phase 2 of easing lockdown. This will allow citizens to move around the country, go for recreational activities and resume businesses.

COVID-19: US death toll crosses the 80,000 mark; New Zealand to lift lockdown

As the country stepped into the last week of lockdown 3.0 National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) claimed that FASTag will be a very beneficial tool post-lockdown.

FASTag&nbsp;is a technical tool that helps in collection of toll money on highways without human contact.

FASTag employs Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology for making toll payments on national highways directly from the prepaid or savings account linked to it. A prepaid tag, fixed on vehicles' windscreen, allows automated deduction of toll charges, and lets any vehicle pass through a toll plaza with zero human contact.

The tool will help post-lockdown as it will limit the human contact, making sure the deadly coronavirus does not spread through toll booths.

"FASTag nullifies the chances of contracting Corona virus as there is no human contact between drivers and the toll booth workers unlike during cash transactions," NHAI said.

A total of 1.68 crore FASTags have been issued across the country till the beginning of May 2020.

FASTag to help decrease human contact post-lockdown

Cyber attacks has become a new flashpoint between the US&nbsp;and China.

Top US&nbsp;agencies are preparing to issue a stern warning urging China to stop stealing research on COVID-19 vaccine.

Everybody involved in finding a cure for the deadly virus will be alerted, including hospital labs.

What are China’s most skilled hackers doing during the lockdown? They are mounting cyber-attacks on America to steal research on coronavirus vaccine.

<a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/now-chinese-websites-claim-kyrgyzstan-kazakhstan-part-of-china-draws-ire-of-central-asia-298057">Also read:&nbsp;Now, Chinese websites claim Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan part of China; draws ire of Central Asia</a>

That’s what the US&nbsp;claims. The FBI and Homeland Security are now preparing to sound the bugle.

From premier medical research centres to university departments, even hospitals, everyone involved in finding a cure to the deadly virus will be alerted.

The US&nbsp;fears many of China’s research thieves are already at work, operating in close proximity to the database on American soil.

The draft warning letter says: China is seeking “valuable intellectual property and public health data through illicit means related to vaccines, treatments and testing.”

How is China doing this? 

Through “non-traditional actors".&nbsp;Chinese theft of the US&nbsp;trade secrets costs America $300 to 600 billion each year, according to national counter-intelligence and security center. Can this be considered China’s proxy war?

This is not the first time China has been accused of stealing information. Since April, America has been saying China is spying on US&nbsp;labs.

America also considered cracking down on China’s student programs after reports of information theft at universities.

A senate committee was set up to investigate the claims. Their report declared China is “systematically stealing U.S. Research”. China has been accused of trying to steal military technology too.

Pentagon reports, senate reports, news reports, all claimed China wants to steal military technology to end America’s dominance.

Two years ago, special powers were granted to&nbsp;US&nbsp;President Donald Trump to stop these cyber attacks.

On the other side of the Atlantic, the U.K. is accusing Russia and Iran of hacking British universities with the very same purpose: steal vaccine research data. If the trend continues, then verbal attacks on virus labs could turn into a cyber war.

When Beijing was asked about the charges, it chose to play the victim card.

Two global powers engaged in disrupting each other’s research projects, while the world waits for a cure for the deadly pandemic.

Top US agencies to warn China to stop 'stealing' research on COVID-19 vaccine

How far will you go to save your country? Back in 1916, workers left their factories to head to battlefields. During the second world war, germans raced against the british to build jet engines.

Now,&nbsp;80 years later, the french are eating cheese. That's how the brave people of France are saving their country, by stuffing their faces with cheese.

At least that's what the cheese makers want. You see, the french dairy industry is in utter distress. Cheese sales have dropped by 60%.

<a href="https://www.wionews.com/videos/frances-cheese-market-takes-a-major-hit-due-to-covid-19-outbreak-297989">Also watch: France's cheese market takes a major hit due to COVID-19 outbreak</a>

The pandemic had put a lock on french restaurants and markets. People stopped buying cheese over health fears. As a result, thousands of tonnes of cheese is just lying on shelves; maggots have been eyeing them.

But the french dairy industry won't let the pests win the war. So, it has issued an SOS call.

The people of France were schooled on their national duty. Eat more cheese, they were told. 'It is your patriotic duty'.

The dairy industry even launched a campaign. Meaning, let's act for cheese.

How could the people of France say no?

The summer clothes could wait another year, but the humble cheese may not make it. If the Belgians can eat more fries, the French can sure make their food more cheesy.

We cannot tell you what's next, whether &nbsp;trump will ask Americans to eat more hamburger, or Britons will be told to eat more cumberland sausages. Anything can happen in extraordinary times.

For example,&nbsp;empty tulip fields. There are no visitors in the tulip fields of Netherlands. These colourful fields are extremely popular across the world. Last year, the Keukenhof Garden alone attracted 1.5 million visitors. The Netherlands exports 2 billion tulips every year. This year, the country's tulip industry stands to lose around 215 million euros. The tulip farmers have had to shut their farms.

It is the same story in India. The tulip fields of Kashmir and Uttarakhand are in full bloom, but there are no visitors. The pandemic, however, has not stopped people from admiring the flowers virtually.

Eat more cheese, it is your patriotic duty: French dairy industry

What else has the Chinese regime stolen?&nbsp;Did it rob the world of time&nbsp;needed to prepare for this pandemic? This is a question that has been debated for months, but there has been no conclusive outcome.

A media report in Germany has now reignited this debate. Some very pertinent questions are being asked.&nbsp;Questions like is there an active hotline between the presidential office in Beijing and the W.H.O headquarters in Geneva? Did XI Jinping dial Dr. Tedros to delay a global warning on the coronavirus outbreak?&nbsp;Did the Chinese President personally urge the W.H.O Chief to hold back information about human to human transmission?&nbsp;

Der Spiegel,&nbsp;a German news outlet says he did.

The allegations were released in a bombshell report this weekend. This report cites intelligence from germany's federal intelligence service. From a body which goes by the name of 'bun-des-nach-rich-ten-dienst' (bundes-nakh-rikh-tienst). So let's go by what its popularly known as: BND.

A body which is said to secretly operate in more than 100 countries, including China.

So, according to the BND,&nbsp;the Chinese President made a phone call to Dr. Tedros&nbsp;on the 21st of January.

The purpose was to make the W.H.O Chief hold back information about the coronavirus and delay a pandemic warning. The BND estimates that China's quote unquote 'information policy' lost the world some crucial weeks it needed to fight this virus.

These are some serious charges, and China has responded seriously,&nbsp;launched another offensive, duly supported by the WHO, which was quick to defend China.

The W.H.O has called these allegations unfounded, false and untrue. It says not only did President XI and Dr. Tedros not speak on the 21st of January, but they have never spoken by telephone.

The W.H.O statement self-righteously reads,&nbsp;"such innacurate reports distract and detract from the who's and the world's efforts to end the covid-19 pandemic."

It also carries a note saying&nbsp;that China confirmed human-to-human transmission of the coronavirus on the 20th of January. China agrees to this.

Guess who they deputed to issue a clarification?

Their most famous conspiracy theorist, the one who said the virus had come from the U.S and then made a u-turn,&nbsp;Zhao Lijian. He rebuked the organization behind these claims and shared some words of wisdom on ethical journalism.

"The chinese leader did not speak with the who director-general on january 21, and who has made detailed clarifications on it. We hope that the relevant media will strictly abide by the professional ethics of journalism and not disseminate false information," he said.

Do not disseminate false information' he says.&nbsp;Charity begins at home, we say. Start with disseminating true information. Where again did the coronavirus originate? This question still awaits an official answer from China.

Pray, shed some light.
