<p>British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Monday (Ma 20) offered an unequivocal apology to thousands of citizens who were at one time infected by contaminated blood in a decades-long scandal which was covered up.</p>

<p>More than 30,000 people in the United Kingdom were infected with viruses like hepatitis&nbsp;and HIV after they were transfused the tainted&nbsp;blood between the 1970s and early 1990s, as per the Infected Blood Inquiry.</p>

<p>The people who became victims of the blood scandal were those who needed blood transfusions in surgeries or after accidents, as well as those who suffered from blood disorders like haemophilia and were&nbsp;being treated&nbsp;with donated blood plasma products.</p>

<p>A glistening triple-star system was captured by NASA's&nbsp;Hubble Space Telescope in space, in what can be termed a rare discovery.</p>

<p>In the image, the triple-star system - consisting of HP Tau, HP Tau G2, and HP Tau G3 - can be seen shining in the dark space.</p>

<p>The stars present in the system are young. HP Tau is so young that it has not begun to fuse hydrogen and is only 10 million years old.</p>

<p>The system was captured by the Hubble Space Telescope&nbsp;in 1990 and since then, the scientists' understanding of the Universe has been revolutionised.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The nebula has a characteristic blue hue because of the dust's reflective properties. In the image, one can see how the young stars have carved out a cavity&nbsp;in the nebula.</p>

<h2><strong>All about the triple-star&nbsp;system</strong></h2>

<p>At the centre of this triple-star&nbsp;system were HP Tau, HP Tau G2 and HP Tau G3, which were young hot stars.&nbsp;</p>

<p>HP Tau is a variable star, which is called a T Tau star. These types of stars are less than 10 million years old and have been named after the first kind of such star discovered in Taurus.</p>

<p>The stars are usually identified by studying their optical variability and strong lines in their spectra from the chromosphere. Generally, these stars are found surrounded by a cloud of gas and dust, out of which they are formed.&nbsp;</p>

<p>HP Tau emits different amounts of light at various time stamps, however, this star generally faces regular and random fluctuations.</p>

<p>Scientists are still trying to understand random variations but&nbsp;it is possible that the stars are&nbsp;young which may be triggering slightly chaotic processes.</p>

<p>BJP leader&nbsp;Sambit Patra, in an apparent slip of tongue, said the revered Hindu god Jagannath is the "bhakt" (devotee) of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While interacting with media personnel after the roadshow of Prime Minister Modi in Odisha's Puri on Monday (May 21), Patra made the gaffe which triggered a fierce backlash from the opposition, especially Odisha Chief Minister&nbsp;Naveen Patnaik's Biju Janata Dal (BJD).</p>

<p>"Lakhs of people have gathered here to see PM Modi. Jagannath is Modi's bhakt and we are all PM Modi's family. I cannot control my emotions and I think today is a momentous day for all Odias," Patra, who is BJP's candidate in Puri, said in haste, causing a political storm.</p>

<h2><strong>Opposition launches attack on Patra's comment</strong></h2>

<p>The comment was immediately condemned by Odisha Chief Minister&nbsp;Naveen Patnaik who is planning a sixth consecutive term in the Indian state.</p>

<p>Taking to X, Patnaik&nbsp;wrote, "Mahaprabhu Shree Jagannatha is the Lord of Universe. Calling Mahaprabhu a bhakt of another human being is an insult to the Lord. This has hurt the sentiments and demeaned the faith of crores of Jagannatha bhaktas and Odias across the world."</p>

<p>Kejriwal said that the statement of Patra is an "insult to God". Congress further demanded an apology from the prime minister himself.&nbsp;</p>

BJP leader Sambit Patra, in an apparent slip of tongue, said the revered Hindu god Jagannath is the "bhakt" (devotee) of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

I cannot control my emotions and I think today is a momentous day for all Odias," Patra, who is BJP's candidate in Puri, said in haste, causing a political storm. Opposition launches attack on Patra's comment The comment was immediately condemned by Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik who is planning a sixth consecutive term in the Indian state. Taking to X, Patnaik wrote, "Mahaprabhu Shree Jagannatha is the Lord of Universe. Calling Mahaprabhu a bhakt of another human being is an insult to the Lord.

<p>South Korea banned a viral&nbsp;propaganda&nbsp;song from North Korea, which gained popularity in&nbsp;TikTok,&nbsp;because it idolised Pyongyang's leader Kim Jong Un as a "friendly father" and "great leader".</p>

<p>The media regulator of South Korea said that the music video, which gained massive popularity on TikTok after it was released in April, violated the National Security Act of the country.</p>

<p>"[The song] idolises Kim Jong Un and praises and glorifies him," said Seoul's Korea Communications Standards Commission, in a statement on Monday (May 20).</p>

<p>Access to the government websites and&nbsp;media of North Korea has been blocked under the Security Act which penalises behaviours and speeches that are in favour of Kim Jong Un's regime.</p>

<p>The Friendly Father music video's 29 versions will be blocked, said the commission, however, it did not say how it will be done.</p>

<p>The decision to block the song was taken after a request by South Korea's National Intelligence Service, it said.</p>

<p>“The video is typical content linked to psychological warfare against South Korea, as&nbsp;it was posted&nbsp;on a channel operated to connect with the outside world and&nbsp;is mainly focused&nbsp;on unilaterally idolising and glorifying Kim,” said the regulator.</p>

6 Reasons Why One Must Eat One Soaked Anjeer Everyday 

The first Indian electric train ran on February 3, 1925, from Bombay Victoria Terminus to Kurla Harbour.

Soaked anjeer is filled with dietary fibre which improves digestive health and supports bowel movement. 

 Anjeer contains antioxidants like flavonoids and polyphenols which protect the body from inflammation and oxidative stress.

 Anjeer is rich in potassium which maintains heart health and regulates blood pressure.

Anjeer’s soluble fibre slows down the absorption of sugar in the bloodstream and prevents an increase in blood sugar levels. 

Anjeer is filled with magnesium, phosphorus and calcium which are important for strong and healthy bones. 

Anjeer reduces appetite, promotes satiety and helps in weight management.


6 Reasons Why One Must Eat One Soaked Anjeer Everyday

Iron is an important mineral which is important for producing haemoglobin - a protein which carries oxygen in the body. Here are seven seeds which increase iron and help produce haemoglobin:


Pumpkin seeds can be considered as a powerhouse of iron. They are also filled with magnesium, zinc and healthy fats. 

Sesame seeds are also a good source of iron which can provide 1.3 milligrammes of iron per tablespoon.


Sunflower seeds provide a good quantity of iron and are also rich in selenium, magnesium and vitamin E. 

Flaxseeds are loaded with high omega-3 fatty acids and can also be considered a good source of iron.  

 Chia seeds can be called a nutritional powerhouse as they are a great source of iron, fibre, protein and omega-3 fatty acids.

 Hemp seeds are rich in iron and are a good source of plant-based protein, magnesium and healthy fats. 

Quinoa has high protein content and its intake also boosts iron in the blood.
