Creating record of sorts, a pig painter&nbsp;called as Pigcasso, has created an artwork, which has been sold for a whopping £20,000. &nbsp;

The animal painter, who was saved from going under the knife as a piglet at the 11th hour by owner Joanne Lefson, has become a world-renowned artist. &nbsp;&nbsp;

The sale has broken the earlier record of £14,000 for an artwork by an animal. It was set in 2005 by a chimp named Congo. &nbsp;

On Monday, the painting, which is called ‘Wild and Free’, was bought by a German national, Peter Esser. &nbsp;

At a time when Iran and major world powers are looking to revive 2015 nuclear deal, the sounds of anti-aircraft fire were heard on Monday near Bushehr nuclear power plant in the country, said a report citing an official. &nbsp;

An official has told semi-official Fars news agency of Iran that it was the result of an air defence exercise, which was held to hike the abilities of defence system. &nbsp;

Mohammadtaqi Irani, the official, said, "This exercise took place at 5 am local time (130 GMT) with full preparation and coordination with the armed forces." &nbsp;&nbsp;

Meanwhile, the talks being held for reviving nuclear deal have again hit the pause button as the crucial meeting had to be adjourned recently. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;

After a round, which witnessed a hike in tensions as Iran raised new demands, the negotiator from Tehran returned home for consultations. The talks look to salvage deal with world powers. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

According to European diplomats, it was ‘a disappointing pause'. The negotiators in Vienna seem to be 'rapidly reaching the end of the road’. But do point to have 'some technical progress’ so far. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;

Expressing frustration, a senior US Official involved in the talks, on condition of anonymity, said, “It was better than it might have been, it was worse than it should have been, which leaves us in an uncertain position as to whether we can get to where we need to go in the short time that we have left to get there." &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

In what can be called a treasure trove for archaeologists and palaeontologists, fossils of five&nbsp;ice age mammoths have been unearthed in Cotswolds, the UK in an extraordinary state of preservation. &nbsp;

"When I bought Tesla, the first 1,500 km were nice. It was an excellent car. Then, the error codes hit. So, I ordered the tow truck to take my car to the service station. For almost a month, the car was at the dealer's workshop and I finally got a call that they cannot do anything for my car. The only option is to change the whole battery cell," the owner said with his white Tesla car in the background. &nbsp;

"It would cost me at least 20,000 Euros. So, I told them I am coming to pick up my car. And now, I am going to explode the whole car away because apparently there was no guarantee or anything," he added. &nbsp;

Giving a reply in the debate over paying more taxes, Tesla Inc's Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk has announced on Sunday on Twitter that he will pay over $11 billion in taxes this year. &nbsp;

On Twitter, Democratic US Senator Elizabeth Warren had earlier said that Musk should pay taxes and stop "freeloading off everyone else". The remark had come after Time magazine named him its "Person of the Year". &nbsp;

In the reply, Musk had said that he "will pay more taxes than any American in history this year". &nbsp;

Earlier, Time magazine’s choice for 'Person of the Year' 2021 had not gone down well with several critics, who slammed the publication. It was being called ‘worst choice ever’ as billionaire Elon Musk was criticised for opposition to unions, attitude towards tax and playing down Covid dangers. &nbsp; &nbsp;

Time had described Musk as a “clown, genius, edgelord, visionary, industrialist, showman” while talking about his achievements. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

It was the “worst choice ever”, said Kurt Eichenwald, an author. &nbsp; &nbsp;

Musk had been opposing a “billionaires tax” floated by some lawmakers in US. He and some other super-wealthy people in the country paid tax at a very small rate in comparison to their significant rise in wealth from 2014 to 2018, said a probe by Propublica this year. Musk allegedly paid only a “real” rate of 3.27%. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;

A hulking barge, which has got stuck on a beach after breaking free from its tethers during fierce rains in southwestern British Columbia state of Canada, seems to have become an unlikely celebrity. &nbsp;&nbsp;

The residents of Vancouver had also witnessed the barge get perilously close to a bridge. But thankfully, winds pushed it away towards a beach. &nbsp;
