<p>Scientists from the University of Maryland have stumbled upon the evidence of an ancient seafloor which is believed to have sunk deep into the Earth when dinosaurs existed and is now affecting the interior structure of Earth.</p>

<p>In a shocking revelation, Princess Diana's former butler Paul Burrell claimed that sexual predator Mohamed Al-Fayed&nbsp;once made a "disgusting proposal" to her which left the royal princess sickened.</p>

<p>Speaking to The Sun, Burrell&nbsp;said that Diana, who died with the son of the tycoon in a car crash in Paris in August 1997, was shocked after this encounter with Fayed and called him a "creep".</p>

<p>Burrell said&nbsp;Fayed, who allegedly assaulted hundreds of women, said to Diana, “I want you to marry my son because in Egyptian tradition, the father goes first. I’m going to sleep with you.”</p>

<p>Burrell claimed that the princess called the former Harrods tycoon as "Yoda", which was inspired by the wrinkly green Star Wars character. She found him “creepy” and “slimy” and always complained, “He’s always putting his hands on me.”</p>

<p>“I was in the car when she came running out from his office shaking and told me, and these are her exact words, that he said, ‘I want you to marry my son because in Egyptian tradition, the father goes first’. He said, ‘I’m going to sleep with you’. She then said in shock, ‘Can you imagine making love to Yoda?’. That’s what she called him. I was disgusted by his behaviour," said Burrell.</p>

<p>“Diana was repulsed by the thought of having to surrender to him. By making that comment, he was setting the stage for that encounter and he was serious," he added.</p>

<p>“He thought that was his right and that it would actually happen — that he would actually sleep with the Princess of Wales. And that was always in her mind all through her romance with Dodi (Al Fayed's son)," the former butler explained.</p>

<p>A stunning drone show under the theme "City of Sky, Maybe Shenzhen" was held above Shenzhen Bay Park in China on September 26.</p>

<p>A total of 10,197 drones were used for the show and two Guinness World Records – &nbsp;"The most multirotor/drones airborne simultaneously from a single computer (outdoors)" and "The largest aerial image formed by multirotors/drones" – were made.</p>

<p>In a miraculous medical success, a woman, who had two uteruses, managed to give birth to twins from both wombs in September in China.</p>

<p>The woman, who is from northwest China, had the rare medical condition of two uteruses since birth.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This condition is very rare and has been till now found only in 0.3 per cent of women worldwide.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As per the China National Radio, both the uteruses of the woman were fully formed and had oviducts and ovaries.</p>

<p>Even though the double ovary condition is very rare, it is even more uncommon for a woman to manage to successfully give birth from both.</p>

<p>In early September, the woman in Shaanxi province gave birth to a boy and a girl. She delivered the babies when she was eight and a half months pregnant, the South China Morning Post reported.</p>

Odisha’s Additional Director General, Law and Order, Sanjay Kumar, while speaking to The Indian Express, confirmed that they had found a suicide note in which the suspect had purportedly admitted to the crime. “The Odisha Police have already registered an unnatural death case. Based on the suicide note, the Bengaluru police have confirmed he is the accused in the gruesome murder case,” Kumar told The Indian Express.

We extended all necessary assistance to them,” Bhadrak SP Varun Guntupalli said while speaking to The Times Of India. The family members of Ray reached Bhadrak on September 24 and identified the body. In the tragic case, the 29-year-old woman was brutally killed and her body was found chopped into more than 50 pieces inside a fridge in an apartment in the Vyalikaval locality of Bengaluru on September 21, in a case which had stark similarity to Shraddha Walker's killing.

Dubai man buys $50 million island to give wife private space for wearing bikini

<p>An innovative way has been adopted by Tesco to stop supermarket thefts and catch thieves.&nbsp;</p>

<p>'Ominous' security robots, which are Dalek-like machines, now stand outside the stores to catch hold of the thieves with the help of 360-degree cameras.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The bots are placed near the entrance of Tesco stores and using an "angry Northern Irish accent", they shout at any intruders they detect while sending alerts to the authorities.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Even though this robot is proving efficient, it is not very cheap and one needs to pay £100,000 ($1,33,757) per month to hire it.</p>

<p>Speaking about it, Tesco said that they have been using security robots outside the stores at night when they are closed.</p>

<p>"This photo shows a security device which is used in some stores outside of opening hours, when needed, such as to prevent burglary or following damage to our property," said a Tesco spokesman.</p>

<p>The device has yellow and blue chequered markings, similar to the UK Police, and is a PID360 security robot which has been created by Shropshire-based firm Deter Tech.</p>

<p>As per reports, the PID360 has been used around "at-risk" locations in Manchester, Bristol and Newcastle.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As per&nbsp;Deter Tech, the robot is able to deter more than "80 per cent of intrusions" and&nbsp;it can be stationed in remote locations without any power.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"With its striking design, audio alerts, and LED illuminators, the PID360 serves as a powerful deterrent against intruders on your site," stated Deter Tech.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It captures every activation with precision, and our dedicated team promptly reviews the footage and escalates any unauthorised presence detected," it added.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Tesco staff has been mocking the device, with some even calling it "rather ominous", as reported by the Daily Star.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"My favourite thing about these is that they have northern Irish accents. I never thought of our accent to be unsettling but I guess they can be to some people lol," an employee was quoted as saying.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I'm from NI and never seen one of these things, but I'm not surprised they'd get a guy from here to do the voice, supposed to be one of the most aggressive accents in the English-speaking world," said another.</p>

An innovative way has been adopted by Tesco to stop supermarket thefts and catch thieves. 'Ominous' security robots, which are Dalek-like machines, now stand outside the stores to catch hold of the thieves with the help of 360-degree cameras.

An innovative way has been adopted by Tesco to stop supermarket thefts and catch thieves. 'Ominous' security robots, which are Dalek-like machines, now stand outside the stores to catch hold of the thieves with the help of 360-degree cameras. The bots are placed near the entrance of Tesco stores and using an "angry Northern Irish accent", they shout at any intruders they detect while sending alerts to the authorities. Even though this robot is proving efficient, it is not very cheap and one needs to pay £100,000 ($1,33,757) per month to hire it. Speaking about it, Tesco said that they have been using security robots outside the stores at night when they are closed. "This photo shows a security device which is used in some stores outside of opening hours, when needed, such as to prevent burglary or following damage to our property," said a Tesco spokesman.
