A United Nations report published on Monday projected India to surpass China as the most populous nation in the world by next year. The report - The World Population Prospects 2022 by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division – also said that the world population will be reaching eight million by November 2022.

The growth is expected to remain constant as the projections show that world population will reach 8.5 billion in 2030 and 9.7 billion in 2050. The report went on to say that the population of the world will most probably hit its peak in the 2080s at around 10.4 billion before plateauing and staying at the same level till the end of 2100.

“This year's World Population Day (July 11) falls during a milestone year, when we anticipate the birth of the Earth's eight billionth inhabitant.

China and India remain the two most populous countries in the world while most than half of the total population growth will be concentrated in just eight countries - Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines and Tanzania.

While China is ahead of India when it comes to total population at this point, projections showed that by 2050, the situation can be completely reversed.

India projected to surpass China as world's most populous country in 2023, says UN report

Twitter has said that they will be suing Tesla CEO Elon Musk after he pulled out of the $44 billion agreement to buy the company. &nbsp;“The Twitter Board is committed to closing the transaction on the price and terms agreed upon with Mr. Musk and plans to pursue legal action to enforce the merger agreement,” tweeted Twitter’s chairman, Bret Taylor, just after the official announcement.

&nbsp;“We are confident we will prevail in the Delaware Court of Chancery.”

In the latest Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing, Musk’s lawyers said that the billionaire will not be going forward with the takeover due to concerns over fake users. While Twitter puts the number below five per cent, Musk was of the opinion that it was around 20 per cent of total users.

In the initial deal, both parties agreed on a termination fee in case the deal does not go through and as a result, Musk is currently in breach of the terms, and he will have to play $1 billion to Twitter.

While nothing was clearly stated by Musk and his team, Twitter believes that he is trying to avoid paying the amount as it was not mentioned anywhere in the SEC filing on Friday. As a result, a legal battle is expected between the two parties at the end of a long-drawn takeover battle.

Earlier, an internal memo sent by Twitter general counsel - Sean Edgett - told staffers to “refrain from Tweeting, Slacking, or sharing any commentary about the merger,” and that management would be “very limited on what we can share”, according to several media outlets.

Twitter threatens to sue after Elon Musk pulls out of $44 billion deal

Formula One leader Max Verstappen handed his Red Bull team a home pole position for Saturday’s sprint race at the Austrian Grand Prix after Mercedes rivals Lewis Hamilton and George Russell crashed in qualifying.

The 24-year-old Dutch driver produced a best lap of one minute 04.984 seconds at the end of a nail-biting, two-minute shootout as the red-flagged session resumed at Spielberg`s scenic Red Bull Ring.

Hamilton and then Russell had both spun off into the tyre barriers, halting the decisive final phase of qualifying while pushing hard.

Already on provisional pole, Verstappen then fended off Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc by just 0.029 seconds. 
Spaniard Carlos Sainz, who took his first Formula One win less than a week ago at Silverstone, put his

Ferrari third with the top three separated by just 0.082.

"It was a very long wait between the two runs," said Verstappen after taking the 16th pole of his career and third this season.

"That`s never great once you are in a rhythm, it’s nice to just keep on going. In the end it was a very tight qualifying."

Verstappen leads the overall standings by 34 points from team mate Sergio Perez, who qualified fourth but was demoted to 13th after his final lap times were deleted for exceeding track limits in the second phase.

Had the violation been punished at the time, Perez would not have made it through to the final phase at the expense of AlphaTauri`s Pierre Gasly, who now moves up to 10th.

"It is disappointing to lose fourth place, the track limits are very tight here this season," said the Mexican.

Leclerc is third, 43 points off the lead. The Monegasque, an early championship leader, has taken six poles this year but has not won since the Australian Grand Prix in April.

"In the last lap I struggled a little bit bringing the tyres back after such a long time in the pits but Max was just a little bit quicker," said Leclerc.

Mercedes, who showed a strong turn of speed with an upgraded car in Silverstone, were again looking good but their hopes of pole were dashed as Hamilton’s car snapped out of control and into the barriers at turn seven.

Russell spun out at the turn nine-10 sequence shortly after, halting proceedings. Stewards later handed the Briton a warning for crossing the track on foot and without permission from marshals.

"So sorry guys," said Hamilton, who will start ninth with Russell fourth.

Esteban Ocon moved up to fifth for Alpine ahead of Kevin Magnussen and Mick Schumacher who made sure both Haas cars were in the top-10. Fernando Alonso in the other Alpine will start eighth.

McLaren had a session to forget with Australian Daniel Ricciardo knocked out in the opening phase. His teammate Lando Norris, lacking confidence on the brakes, was knocked out in the second part of the hour-long session.

The Briton will start 15th with Ricciardo 16th.

Aston Martin endured another nightmare qualifying with neither Sebastian Vettel nor Lance Stroll making it past the first phase for the third weekend in a row.

Four times champion Vettel had a lap time deleted for exceeding track limits and will line up last. 
The Austrian weekend is being run to the sprint format which means Verstappen`s pole will go down in the record books regardless of where he starts on Sunday.

The results of Saturday’s 24-lap race decide the grid for Sunday.

There will also be a maximum 34 drivers` points on offer from the weekend, compared to the usual 26, with the winner of the sprint scoring eight.

Mas Verstappen on pole in Austrian Grand Prix as Mercedes crash

The United States will be sending around $400 million worth of new weapons to Ukraine as support in the ongoing crisis against Russia. President Joe Biden signed a new package on Friday which will include four additional high mobility artillery rocket systems (HIMARS) and higher number of advanced ammunitions. As the battle rages on in a number of parts across Ukraine, the new package will be a massive help for Ukraine.

This announcement comes days after more funding was promised by both the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom. According to Reuters, a senior US defense official said that US has sent 12 HIMARS to Ukraine since the start of the conflict.

"Ukraine has now been successfully striking Russian locations in Ukraine, deeper behind the front lines and disrupting Russia's ability to conduct that artillery operation," the official told Reuters on the condition of anonymity.

Earlier, Russia claimed that they destroyed two HIMARS systems and some additional ammunition during an attack in eastern Ukraine. However, the official denied any such report and said that all the HIMARS provided by the US to Ukraine are currently accounted for by the authorities.

The new package order includes more precise ammunition for howitzer artillery systems – a system unique to the US military, according to Reuters. With the passage of time, Ukraine have received more advanced weaponry from the US and according to official data, the United States has now committed approximately $7.3 billion to the war efforts since the invasion started back in February.

US pledges to send $400 million in weapons to Ukraine, including more HIMARS systems

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has officially terminated his $44 billion takeover deal for social networking site Twitter over concerns about the number of fake users. Musk said on Friday that the decision was taken after Twitter failed to provide necessary information about the fake accounts. The takeover was dragging on for quite some time and after Musk expressed his concerns, the share prices went down almost 7 per cent in the past few weeks. According to the SEC filing, lawyers said that Twitter did not provide Musk with the necessary information despite multiple requests from their end.

"Twitter is in material breach of multiple provisions of that Agreement, appears to have made false and misleading representations upon which Mr. Musk relied when entering into the Merger Agreement," the filing said according to Reuters.

According to experts, this can result into a long-drawn legal battle between Musk and Twitter as the terms of the deal stipulated a $1 billion break-up fee if he does not complete the transaction.

Earlier, Musk maintained that the deal is being delayed by concerns about the fake users. During his speech at the Qatar Economic Forum last month, he said that his team is working towards the deal.

"So, we are still awaiting resolution on that matter and that is a very significant matter," he said.

However, the number of fake users ended up being the main point of concern between the two parties as Musk estimated the number to be around 20 per cent. Although Twitter said that it is not more than 5 per cent, the two parties were unable to find a middle ground.

Elon Musk withdraws $44 billion bid to buy Twitter over ‘misleading representations’

In pics - More than 1000 firefighters battle 'mega fire' in southern France

Russia decided to veto a United Nations (UN) Security Council resolution to extend aid to northern Syria without the backing of Damascus. The aid is crucial for roughly 2.4 million people who live in the Idlib region of Syria under rebel control and the permission for aid supply across the Syria-Turkey border at Bab al-Hawa is set to expire on Sunday. While thirteen out of the 15 members voted in favour of the resolution, Russia suggested a six-month extension with the option of adding another six months. China did not express their stance and decided to abstain from the voting on Friday.

While the deadline is almost coming to an end, experts believe that the nations can still find a middle ground. One option for the other countries is to agree with Russia’s proposal but most of them believe that it can create major organisational challenges for NGOs on the front line.

“We need to reach a solution in the immediate term, a solution which renews the mandate for cross-border aid. There is simply no time to waste. The Syrian people are counting on us,” Ireland’s UN representative Geraldine Byrne Nason said after the vote according to CNN.

“It is unfathomable that one security council member, Russia, put their own political interests above the humanitarian needs of the Syrian people,” she said.

Russia has been an ally to the Syrian government and the decision is being considered to be an attempt to bring the aids under the overview of Damascus.

Russia vetoes United Nations resolution extending cross-border aid to Syria

The ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine has created a massive crisis when it comes to both global peace and economy. The people of Ukraine have faced a lot of trouble in the recent past and fighting is still going on in different parts of the country. While the situation in Ukraine has not improved much, Russia have found a new way to troll the US and UK for their continued support to Ukraine. In Moscow, the authorities have renamed the streets in front of both of their embassies to two separatist regions of Ukraine. Donetsk and Luhansk are considered to be “people’s republics” by Russia after they gained a lot of ground in the regions but both UK and US have not accepted it.

At present, the street in front of the British Embassy was renamed to the Luhansk People’s Republic Square, according to Associated Press. A similar incident happened when it comes to the US Embassy in Moscow which is located on the newly named Donetsk People’s Republic Square.

This is not something new as the United States also employed the same tactics during the Cold War. In the 1980s, the street outside the Russian Embassy was renamed Andrei Sakharov Plaza – a reference to the Soviet nuclear physicist and a major human rights activist in Soviet Russia.

Later, in 2018, the road in front of the new Russian Embassy was named after Boris Nemtsov, a politician from Russia who was killed in 2015 after leading protests against Vladimir Putin.

The ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine has created a massive crisis when it comes to both global peace and economy. The people of Ukraine have faced a lot of trouble in the recent past and fighting is still going on in different parts of the country. While the situation in Ukraine has not improved much, Russia have found a new way to troll the US and UK for their continued support to Ukraine. In Moscow, the authorities have renamed the streets in front of both of their embassies to two separatist regions of Ukraine. Donetsk and Luhansk are considered to be “people’s republics” by Russia after they gained a lot of ground in the regions but both UK and US have not accepted it.

A similar incident happened when it comes to the US Embassy in Moscow which is located on the newly named Donetsk People’s Republic Square. This is not something new as the United States also employed the same tactics during the Cold War. In the 1980s, the street outside the Russian Embassy was renamed Andrei Sakharov Plaza – a reference to the Soviet nuclear physicist and a major human rights activist in Soviet Russia.

US and UK embassies in Moscow get new addresses named after Ukraine separatists

The United States police said on Thursday that the father of the suspect detained in the Highland Park shooting will be criminally investigated in the connection to the attack. The decision was taken after they found a signed affidavit supporting his son’s application for a gun license. Robert Crimo III was detained by the Chicago Police after seven people were killed in a mass shooting during the June 4 parade. The police also found evidence that his father - Robert Crimo Jr - sponsored his son’s firearm owner application in 2019. However, he denied all allegations brought against him.

&nbsp;“I had no – not an inkling, warning – that this was going to happen,” Crimo told ABC News.

According to the law in Illinois, any individual needs to be at least 21 years old to buy any firearm with the help of a Firearm Owners Identification (FOID). However, they can obtain one if they have a written consent form from any of their parent or a legal guardian who is already a FOID member.

Under the clauses provided in the written affidavit, the guardian who decides to sign on behalf of a minor will be liable for “any damages resulting from the minor applicant’s use of firearms or firearm ammunition”. As a result, the police have decided to investigate further into Robert Crimo Jr.

According to a CNN report, the police found a number of weapons including 16 knives, a dagger and a sword from the suspect’s house but Crimo Jr claimed they were his, not his son’s.

Highland Park suspect’s father to be investigated for signing gun application

The aftermath of the United States Supreme Court overturning Roe v Wade has been quite contradicting when it comes to the various states. While a huge number of states wasted no time in passing “trigger laws” making abortion even more difficult, there have been some states who are trying to find ways in order to preserve the reproductive rights. The Democratic governor of Colorado has joined the fight and he mandated that the state will not be conducting investigations into abortions. Jared Polis signed an executive order that clearly stated that the state will not be taking part in filing criminal or civil investigations against people involved in the abortion process.

“We are taking needed action to protect and defend individual freedom and protect the privacy of Coloradans,” said Polis in a statement obtained by the Colorado Sun.

“This important step will ensure that Colorado’s thriving economy and workforce are not impacted based on personal health decisions that are wrongly being criminalized in other states,” he added.

The governor of North Carolina – Roy Copper – also signed an executive order that aimed at protecting abortion rights. According to the order, people who receive an abortion or medical providers who perform them will not be penalised in any way, according to ABC News.

Judges in Mississippi and Florida were able to put a temporary ban of the trigger bans, but successful appeals mean that it will become for difficult for people to get the procedure done in those states. In Ohio, a six-week abortion ban was announced by the authorities, reported the Cincinnati Enquirer.
