Chinese Defense&nbsp;Minister Gen. Li Shangfu will visit Russia next week along with the Chinese State Councilor on an official four-day visit to the country. Gen. Li will be meeting his Russian counterpart Sergei Shoigu and other military officials, China’s Defense Ministry said Friday.&nbsp;

Senior Col. Tan Kefei, the spokesman for China's Defense Ministry, told a press briefing in Beijing that during his trip, Li will meet and hold talks with Russian military leaders, and visit military academies.

Li’s visit to Russia lays emphasis on China’s bolstering relations with Russia, which is largely aligned with their foreign policy towards reshaping the world order to diminish the US influence. China’s support of Russia is clear from its refusal to criticise Russia over its military operation in Ukraine. It has instead blamed the US and NATA for provoking Moscow.&nbsp;

During a 2022 visit to Beijing, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping issued a joint statement declaring a “no limits” relationship between the two nations.&nbsp;

The trip follows Xi's official visit to Moscow last month, during which he emphasised how China is gradually becoming the relationship's senior partner, providing Russia with diplomatic cover and an economic lifeline during its war in Ukraine.

Officially, however, China remains neutral in the conflict and has yet to offer a full-throated endorsement of Russia’s actions.

While Moscow and Beijing have indicated they will strengthen military contacts and hold more combined sea and air patrols and drills, China's foreign minister said Friday that China will not assist Russia with weapons, as feared by the US and other Western allies.&nbsp;

“Sino-Russian military relations have continued to operate at a high level, and new progress has been made,” Tan was quoted as saying in a ministry news release announcing Li’s visit.

The “China-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination in the new era” has been enriched by “strategic communication, joint exercises and practical cooperation” at the military level, Tan said.

Military power in China is concentrated in the ruling Communist Party’s Military Affairs Commission led by Xi and two vice-chairs.

Li, a trained aerospace engineer, is subject to US penalties as a result of Chinese purchases of Russian fighter jets and air defence weapons. At the annual gathering of China's ceremonial legislature in March, he was appointed minister.

China’s new defence minister to meet Russian counterpart for first time since war in Ukraine

Iranian President, Ebrahim Raisi delivered a novel speech to an annual pro-Palestine rally in the Gaza Strip. This was one-of-its-kind recognition from Iran of the importance of the Hamas militant group that controls the territory. Raisi delivered the speech virtually to a gathering of hundreds of supporters of Hamas and the smaller Islamic Jihad group gathered at a soccer field in Gaza City.&nbsp;

Raisi’s speech appeared to mend a rift between Hamas and its long-time patron, Iran, over the devastating civil war in Syria. For years, Iran has been following the path of quiet diplomacy in Palestine’s internal politics, but on Friday the Iranian President praised the “Palestinian fighters”.&nbsp;

Raisi dismissed Hamas’ domestic political rival, the West Bank-based Palestinian Authority, which has long sought to win Palestine statehood through negotiations with Israel. The Palestinian Authority administers autonomous enclaves in West Bank.&nbsp;

In his speech on “Jerusalem Day” or al-Quds Day, Raisi struck a hard line against the Palestinian Authority’s recent regional meetings with Israel in Aqaba, Jordan, and Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt.

A spike in violence in Israel and the West Bank, part of it in response to an Israeli police raid on the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem last week, has undermined the summits, which aimed to de-escalate mounting Israeli-Palestinian tensions.

Violence in Jerusalem last week

The Al-Aqsa Mosque is the third holiest site in Islam, which is located in Jerusalem. The mosque is built on top of a walled esplanade, which was the site of biblical Jewish temples and is considered the holiest site in Judaism.

The complex has been a hotspot in the long-running Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Last week, Israeli police evicted Palestinian worshippers who had locked themselves inside the mosque with stones and firecrackers in order to seek the right to pray there overnight.

<a class="close-mark close-div" href="#" id="jqclosemark">×</a></div>

Following the raid, in which hundreds of Palestinians were detained and many were injured, Palestinian militants fired rockets towards Israel from Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria.

The Hamas leader in Gaza, Yehiyeh Sinwar, praised the rocket fire during Friday’s rally. “The response came like a simple electric shock,” Sinwar said.

Al-Quds Day marches have been drawing thousands to the streets of the Middle East for the past four decades. The event is most noteworthy in Iran, where crowds burn Israeli flags and chant “Death to Israel and America”.&nbsp;

What Raisi said in his address&nbsp;

“The initiative to self-determination is today in the hands of the Palestinian fighters,” Raisi said, dismissing the PA that nominally rules parts of the West Bank.

“Let everyone know that we have no hesitation in supporting the resistance,” he added.

Despite being a Sunni Muslim organisation, Hamas has a terrorist component that has long maintained close links with Iran, a source of finance and a Shiite powerhouse. The shared hatred of Israel binds Hamas and Iran together. While Iran has not revealed the specifics of its assistance, Hamas has publicly hailed the Islamic Republic.

Experts claim Iran's assistance is both financial and political, with the terrorist organisation now receiving blueprint technology, engineering know-how, and training to enable it to build its own handmade arsenal of powerful rockets capable of striking all of Israel's land.

KKR vs SRH Head to Head- IPL 2023: The Kolkata Knight Riders will take on Sunrisers Hyderabad in match no. 19 of the IPL 2023 season on Friday, April 14. The clash will take place at the home ground of Kolkata in Eden Gardens. Though SRH won the IPL trophy in 2016 and were runners-up in IPL 2018, their performance this season has not been really impressive. In fact, they were the first team to get knocked out of the playoff race.&nbsp;

KKR, on the other hand, won the tournament in 2012 and 2015, but could not repeat their success in the following years. However, they did reach the finals of IPL 2022 where they got defeated by CSK. IPL 2023, both teams face each other on April 14 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata and on May 4 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.&nbsp;

Ahead of today’s match, here is a look at the two teams’ head-to-head record:

<h2>KKR vs SRH- IPL 2023: Head-to-head record in IPL</h2>

KKR and SRH’s head-to-head record stand at 15-8, clearly, Kolkata has the upper hand when it comes to the previous record between the two teams. They have met in 23 IPL matches of which 15 were won by KKR, while SRH won the remaining 8.&nbsp;

The last match between the two teams was held in the 61st match of IPL 2022 in Pune. KKR batted first Sam Billings, and Andre Russell helped them post 177/6 in 20 overs. On the other hand, Abhishek Sharma and Aiden Marakram were not sufficient to chase the target of 177 and SRH eventually lost the match by 54 runs.&nbsp;

Matches played: 23

Matches won by Kolkata Knight Riders: 15

Matches won by Sunrisers Hyderabad: 8

<h2>KKR vs SRH- IPL 2023: Pitch report</h2>

It will be the second home game for the Knight Riders this season. In the first game against the Royal Challengers Bangalore, KKR posted a total of 204 runs and then delivered a sensational bowling performance. The pitch will likely provide a lot of support to the batters in this game. The team winning the toss will prefer to bowl.

<h2>KKR vs SRH- IPL 2023: Weather forecast</h2>

Kolkata weather is expected to be mostly sunny on Friday. It is highly unlikely that rain will play spoilsport during the Kolkata vs Hyderabad game. The wind speed is expected to be around 10-25 km/h on matchday while the temperature could hover around 29 degrees Celsius to 41 degrees Celsius. The humidity could go as high as 64 per cent.

<h2>KKR vs SRH- IPL 2023: Probable playing XI</h2>

Kolkata Knight Riders: Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Venkatesh Iyer, Nitish Rana (c), N Jagadeesan, Andre Russell, Rinku Singh, Sunil Narine, Shardul Thakur, Lockie Ferguson, Umesh Yadav, Varun Chakravarthy

Sunrisers Hyderabad: Mayank Agarwal, Harry Brook, Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram (c), Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Washington Sundar, Marco Jansen, Mayank Markande, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, T Natarajan, Umran Malik

<h2>KKR vs SRH- IPL 2023: Prediction</h2>

China has been engulfed in severe yellow dust for more than a month now. This yellow-coloured sandstorm now spreads to China’s neighbours South Korea and Japan. People in these countries took refuge in face masks and hooded jackets as they ride out of their houses on another dust-laden day.&nbsp;

The phenomenon of yellow dust, also known as Asian dust, occurs every year during the spring months. The yearly ordeal for millions in North Asia originates from the Gobi desert that borders China and Mongolia. These springtime winds then reach the Korean peninsula every year, but it is the first time that they have reached farther east Japan.&nbsp;

Apart from poor visibility and aggravated air pollution, these winds come with a greater risk of respiratory problems. When the dust arrives, it brings along industrial pollutants, viruses, fungi, bacteria, and even heavy metals, none of which are good for respiratory health. This contamination is not just limited to humans, the dust loaded with heavy metals and industrial pollutants also damages crops and soil.&nbsp;

According to AirKorea, which is managed by the country’s environment ministry, these fine dust particles could reach “very unhealthy” levels in Seoul this week.&nbsp;

The dust has already enveloped 18 provinces of China, not just with poor air quality but also with gloominess and the same is happening in Seoul.&nbsp;

"You don't feel happy. It's like a very bad weather day. You naturally want to be outside on a sunny day. But when the weather is very dirty, you feel depressed and want to stay inside," said the 34-year-old Thompson, who moved from the US to South Korea in 2011 for work.

Eom Hyeojung said there appears to be "no realistic way to avoid yellow dust", so she sent her daughter to school anyway despite the health risks.

Sandstorms in the region have been increasing in frequency since the 1960s due to rising temperatures and lower precipitation in the Gobi wilderness, Chinese authorities said.&nbsp;

This year, sandstorms started bearing down on parts of China in March, causing the skies to turn yellow. In the first two weeks of April alone, there have been four sandstorms and the most recent one left cars, bikes and houses coated in dust.

At the height of the most recent sandstorm, the concentration of fine dust or PM10 in the Chinese capital was 46.2 times the World Health Organization's guideline value.

In Seoul, PM10 levels were double the government threshold to qualify as very bad for health. In the city of Ulsan, southeast of the capital, it was even higher. The health risk from PM10 particles is immediate as they are easily inhaled. One particle is smaller in diameter than a human hair.

China has been engulfed in severe yellow dust for more than a month now. This yellow-coloured sandstorm now spreads to China’s neighbours South Korea and Japan. People in these countries took refuge in face masks and hooded jackets as they ride out of their houses on another dust-laden day.

China has been engulfed in severe yellow dust for more than a month now. This yellow-coloured sandstorm now spreads to China’s neighbours South Korea and Japan. People in these countries took refuge in face masks and hooded jackets as they ride out of their houses on another dust-laden day. The phenomenon of yellow dust, also known as Asian dust, occurs every year during the spring months. The yearly ordeal for millions in North Asia originates from the Gobi desert that borders China and Mongolia. These springtime winds then reach the Korean peninsula every year, but it is the first time that they have reached farther east Japan. Apart from poor visibility and aggravated air pollution, these winds come with a greater risk of respiratory problems. When the dust arrives, it brings along industrial pollutants, viruses, fungi, bacteria, and even heavy metals, none of which are good for respiratory health. This contamination is not just limited to humans, the dust loaded with heavy metals and industrial pollutants also damages crops and soil.

The dust has already enveloped 18 provinces of China, not just with poor air quality but also with gloominess and the same is happening in Seoul. "You don't feel happy. It's like a very bad weather day. You naturally want to be outside on a sunny day. But when the weather is very dirty, you feel depressed and want to stay inside," said the 34-year-old Thompson, who moved from the US to South Korea in 2011 for work. Eom Hyeojung said there appears to be "no realistic way to avoid yellow dust", so she sent her daughter to school anyway despite the health risks.

Yellow dust engulfs South Korea in distress after shrouding China

PSG vs Lens prediction 2023: The Ligue 1 returns to action this weekend, with Christophe Galtier's star-studded PSG facing an outstanding Lens team in a key match at the Parc des Princes on Saturday, April 15. Both sides can deliver a punch on their day and will need to step up this weekend.

PSG has a slight advantage over Lens, having won 11 of the last 29 meetings between the two teams, compared to Lens' nine triumphs over this time period.

San Francisco police have arrested a 38-year-old tech executive in the fatal stabbing of CashApp founder, Bob Lee. The suspect in the case, Nima Momeni is the founder of the software company Expand IT and was arrested on Thursday in the case of a San Francisco stabbing last week.&nbsp;

San Francisco Police Chief, William Scott told a news conference that Momeni and Lee knew each other but declined to discuss anything further or why the two men were together on the night in question.&nbsp;

Lee’s stabbing startled California’s startup community and run shockwaves down the city of San Francisco. The case reignited debate about public safety in the city, with Elon Musk decrying the violent crime situation in the city as “horrific”.

San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins on Thursday hit back at Musk, accusing him of making reckless statements that assume “incorrect circumstances about Mr Lee’s death, serve to mislead the world in their perceptions of San Francisco and also negatively impact the pursuit of justice for victims of crime.”

Lee, a father of two, was stabbed brutally on the streets of San Francisco just after 2:30 am on April 4. Since then, the culprit of the murder was unidentified.&nbsp;

His two young girls, dialled 911 himself, saying he'd been stabbed and needed assistance. He was unresponsive when cops came and eventually died at the hospital from his slicing injuries.&nbsp;

The 43-year-old started his career in 1997 as a web developer for Redrock Communications. He worked with several big names over the following years, like Capgemini, OCI and AT&amp;T. Between 2004 to 2010, he was a staff software engineer at Google, a position he left to join Square Cash as its CTO.&nbsp;

Momeni is scheduled to appear in court Friday for an arraignment and faces a maximum sentence of 26 years to life in prison if he’s convicted on all of the charges, prosecutors said.&nbsp;

<h2>Nima Momeni, fellow tech exec and suspect in Bob Lee's murder case</h2>

Momeni's&nbsp;LinkedIn profile describes himself as an IT consultant and entrepreneur. He also mentions UC Berkeley and Laney College in Oakland, California as his alma mater. A UC Berkeley representative told The San Francisco Chronicle that the university has no record of Momeni.

According to the Chronicle, he founded his own IT consulting firm, Expand IT, in 2010. As per the company's website, it works with non-profits, government organisations, healthcare clients, and other entrepreneurs.

He had also worked at several other startups in the Bay Area, reported the Chronicle.

Momeni and Lee were driving together through downtown San Francisco in the early morning hours of April 4, in a car registered to Momeni's name, according to Mission Local.

Lee’s estranged wife, Krista, spoke publicly for the first time since his death, telling Oakland station KTVU Fox2 she was perplexed as to why Momeni would kill her husband.

“This is the first step toward justice,” Krista Lee, 38, added to the station.

Scientists are aware of how cats purr but they still can't find the answer to why cats purr. One of the more surprising explanations is that cats don’t just purr when they are happy and relaxed, they also purr when they are in pain. But this is not proven to date.

Scientists are not sure why we yawn and that too daily. The scientific community has moved toward the idea that yawning is a thermoregulatory behaviour that cools down the brain, but its true biological function is still unclear.

How does a tomato has more genes than a human?

Yes, tomatoes have more genes than humans. Tomato may not look as complex as a human but it takes around 7000 more genes to make one than it does a human being. It has some explanations but none of them are proven yet.

There is no cure for Alzheimer’s, a disease that causes dementia. For years, the prevailing theory has been that Alzheimer’s is caused by pile-ups of proteins which effectively create plaques in the brain. 

Many species of birds migrate over incredibly long distances in order to lay their eggs or escape harsh winters. Scientific theories that birds use the stars or Earth’s magnetic field to navigate, fail to cover how it is possible for birds to locate the exact coordinates of an area, without ever having visited them before.

The brain is an incredibly powerful thing, and scientists are only beginning to touch the tip of the iceberg. One of the things they can’t explain is this placebo effect, which not only works for pills but also, incredibly, for surgery.

It’s widely accepted that the reason ice is so slippery is due to a thin film of liquid on its surface. The mystery is why this layer forms at all. Recent studies suggest that surface ice does not fully transform into liquid water, but instead ends up in a mixed state between ice and water.

7 Things Science Still can't Explain 

A new Covid subvariant is under the radar of the World Health Organization (WHO) and is also causing concern in India. This Omicron subvariant, XBB.1.16, dubbed as Arcturus has caused a surge in new cases in India in the last few weeks. Indian central government has asked people not to panic as they have made all the preparations and conducted mock drills in hospitals as a refresher course for doctors to help Covid patients. Cases linked to this variant are also rising in Singapore, the US and Australia among others.&nbsp;

Arcturus has been reported in several states in the US, including California, Washington, New Jersey, New York, Virginia and Texas, a tracker run by Rajendram Rajnarayanan, MSc, PhD, of the New York Institute of Technology shows.

Actrurus subvariant may be 1.2 times more infectious than the Kraken strain&nbsp;

The XBB.1.16 subvariant is a combination of two subvariants of the Omicron variant. A University of Tokyo preprint study also suggested the subvariant spreads around 1.17 to 1.27 times more efficiently than the XBB.1 and XBB.1.5 or Kraken subvariants. "We first show that XBB.1.16 had an effective reproductive number (Re) that was 1.27- and 1.17-fold higher than the parental XBB.1 and XBB.1.5, respectively, suggesting that XBB.1.16 will spread worldwide in the near future," the preprint study read.&nbsp;

The name Arcturus has been popularised by the former Indian Academy of Paediatrics Committee on Immunisation convenor Vipin M Vashishtha. He used it as a hashtag in a tweet in March to warn about the rising COVID-19 cases.&nbsp;

He said in a tweet, “All eyes should be on India! If XBB.1.16 aka Arcturus could succeed to wade through the ‘sturdy’ population immunity of Indians that successfully resisted the onslaught of variants like BA.285, BA.5, BQs, XBB.1.5, then the whole world must be seriously worried!”

<h2>Symptoms of COVID-19 subvariant Arcturus</h2>

Symptoms of this subvariant in children are:

1. High fever

2. Cough

3. Itchy conjunctivitis or pink eye without pus but with sticky eyes

4. Nasal discharge

Pediatrician Dr Rahul Nagpal told India Today that doctors have seen rising COVID-19 cases in children with conjunctivitis. He added, "Usually, these children come with simple respiratory infections of cough, cold, and fever, and when tested they turn out to be positive."

Arcturus has been reported in several states in the US, including California, Washington, New Jersey, New York, Virginia and Texas, a tracker run by Rajendram Rajnarayanan, MSc, PhD, of the New York Institute of Technology shows. Actrurus subvariant may be 1.2 times more infectious than the Kraken strain The XBB.1.16 subvariant is a combination of two subvariants of the Omicron variant. A University of Tokyo preprint study also suggested the subvariant spreads around 1.17 to 1.27 times more efficiently than the XBB.1 and XBB.1.5 or Kraken subvariants. "We first show that XBB.1.16 had an effective reproductive number (Re) that was 1.27- and 1.17-fold higher than the parental XBB.1 and XBB.1.5, respectively, suggesting that XBB.1.16 will spread worldwide in the near future," the preprint study read. The name Arcturus has been popularised by the former Indian Academy of Paediatrics Committee on Immunisation convenor Vipin M Vashishtha. He used it as a hashtag in a tweet in March to warn about the rising COVID-19 cases. He said in a tweet, “All eyes should be on India! If XBB.1.16 aka Arcturus could succeed to wade through the ‘sturdy’ population immunity of Indians that successfully resisted the onslaught of variants like BA.285, BA.5, BQs, XBB.1.5, then the whole world must be seriously worried!” Symptoms of COVID-19 subvariant Arcturus Symptoms of this subvariant in children are: 1. High fever 2. Cough 3. Itchy conjunctivitis or pink eye without pus but with sticky eyes 4. Nasal discharge Pediatrician Dr Rahul Nagpal told India Today that doctors have seen rising COVID-19 cases in children with conjunctivitis. He added, "Usually, these children come with simple respiratory infections of cough, cold, and fever, and when tested they turn out to be positive."
