<p>The craze for cricket in India runs very deep, and&nbsp;bizarre stories are coming to light&nbsp;since the India-Australia clash in the World Cup cricket final on Sunday (Nov 19). In one such incident, a man strangulated his son in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh for turning&nbsp;off the television set while the high-voltage Sunday match was going on.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This incident came after another harrowing incident when a 23-year-old man allegedly committed suicide in West Bengal's Bankura district. He took the drastic step as he was devastated by the loss of India in the ICC men's Cricket World Cup final.</p>

<p>The accused in the latest incident is identified as Ganesh Prasad and the incident took place at his Kanpur house.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Things got heated up when Prasad's son Deepak asked his father to stop watching the match and instead cook dinner. When his father ignored his request, the outraged Deepak switched off the TV.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to police, Ganesh got hold of the mobile charger and strangled his son. Once he realised that he had killed his son, he fled from the spot. Subsequently, Kanpur police nabbed him on Monday (Nov 20).</p>

Social media abuzz with rumours India, which currently holds the G20 Presidency until November 30, 2023, announced on Saturday (Nov 18) that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will chair the virtual summit. The summit, as per an official statement, is aimed at building upon the key outcomes and action points from the New Delhi summit held in September. Notably, the International Criminal Court (ICC) on March 17 issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin, citing allegations of committing war crimes related to the unlawful deportation and transfer of children from occupied regions of Ukraine to Russia. Since then, Putin's international travel has been limited. The G20 leaders reached a consensus during the New Delhi Summit on the language used for the Russia-Ukraine war in the New Delhi Leaders' Declaration, while also emphasising the principles of international law, territorial integrity, sovereignty, and the peaceful resolution of conflicts. The virtual G20 Leaders' Summit will involve leaders from all G20 member countries, the Chair of the African Union, nine guest countries, and the heads of 11 international organisations. The discussions will also encompass the 2nd Voice of Global South Summit held on November 17, 2023.

Five Ways Climate Crisis Imperils Human Security Globally 

Extreme weather events such as hurricanes, floods, wildfires, and droughts can displace communities, destroy infrastructure, and disrupt access to basic resources. 

Changes in climate patterns can lead to altered precipitation, affecting agriculture and water availability. Crop failures and water scarcity can result in food shortages. 

As global temperatures rise, polar ice caps and glaciers melt, causing sea levels to rise. This poses a direct threat to low-lying coastal areas. 

Climate-induced environmental changes can force communities to migrate in search of better living conditions. This mass movement of people can strain resources in receiving areas. 

The climate crisis exacerbates competition for scarce resources such as water, arable land, and energy. This competition can trigger conflicts between communities or even nations.
