Elon Musk’s proposed $44 billion takeover of social networking site Twitter is in danger, according to a Washington Post report, and it has resulted in a dip in share prices of the company. The deal was on the verge of completion, but it has hit a wall since the Tesla CEO expressed his concern about the percentage of fake users on Twitter. Although the company has denied it, the Washington Post report said that Musk is still unable to determine the percentage despite access to internal data of the company. While there has not been any official statement from Musk, the report quoted an anonymous source who said that his team is currently preparing for a "change in direction."

The share prices of Twitter have dropped almost four per cent since the report came out and experts believe that the takeover may be headed towards a “finale” in the coming days.

"The Twitter soap opera is clearly coming to some sort of finale over the coming months as Musk makes the decision to stay (with a lower price) or go," Wedbush analyst Dan Ives said in a note to investors according to Forbes. "The Twitter deal has clearly caused chaos at Twitter."

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.

Elon Musk's proposed Twitter acquisition in 'serious jeopardy' over fake users: Report

Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer who was convicted of the murder of George Floyd, was sentenced to more than 20 years in prison for denying civil rights to his victim. Senior US District Court Judge Paul Magnuson originally sentenced Chauvin to 252 months in prison but later reduced it by seven months due to time served. This sentence was added on top of the 22-and-a-half-year sentence that Chauvin is already serving for murder. The former police officer pleaded guilty of murder last year after the death of Floyd sparked protests all around the United States.

"This sentence should send a strong message that the Justice Department stands ready to prosecute law enforcement officers who use deadly force without basis," Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke said according to CNN.

"While no amount of prison time can reverse the tragic consequences of Derek Chauvin's violent actions, we hope that this sentence provides some small measure of justice for the families and communities impacted," he added.

These two prison sentences will be running simultaneously but Chauvin will be allowed to serve his term in a federal prison rather than in a Minnesota state penitentiary, where he has been held in solitary confinement, according to CNN.

"I really don't know why you did what you did," US District Court Judge Paul Magnuson said during delivering the sentence on Thursday.

"But to put your knee on another person's neck until they're deceased is wrong," he said. "You must be substantially punished," he added.

An inspired all-round show from Hardik Pandya fired India to an emphatic 50-run win over England in the first Twenty20 of their three-match series at the Ageas Bowl on Thursday.

India made a flying start after opting to bat, with Deepak Hooda (33) and Suryakumar Yadav (39) taking a liking to the English attack before Pandya (51) chipped in with his maiden fifty in the shortest format and guided India to 198-8.

Things had looked even worse for the hosts with Pandya in full flow but fine death bowling from Tymal Mills (1-35) and Chris Jordan (2-23) dragged them back into the game and kept India under 200.

In reply, the touring side got an early boost when Bhuvneshwar Kumar (1-10) removed new captain Jos Buttler for nought and Pandya (4-33) got rid of Liam Livingstone (0) and Jason Roy (4) in quick succession to leave England reeling at 33-4.

Harry Brook (28) and Moeen Ali (36) tried to revive England in the middle overs, but both fell to the leg-spin of Yuzvendra Chahal (2-32) as the loss of regular wickets meant the home side were bowled out for 148 in 19.3 overs.

The teams head to Edgbaston for the second match of the series on Saturday.

Space junk has been a major problem when it comes to space travel in the recent past and it has been the main reason behind spacecrafts sustaining considerable damage. According to an estimate, around 9000 satellites have been launched in the orbit till now with 5000 among them not functional anymore. As a result, they have been stranded in the orbit where they have become a problem for the operational ones. However, the Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology seems to have found a solution to the problem that they announced was successful in removing space junk.

The Chinese scientists said that they have successfully used a ‘drag sail’ to push a recently launched Long March 2 rocket out of the orbit. This was the first time that they tried this technique and they said that the kite-like structure was effective in completing the mission of removing space junk.

This will be a low-cost solution when it comes to space junks as the technology can be easily created and it will be effective on almost all kinds of satellites. As the material used is lightweight and flexible, it can also be placed inside a spacecraft easily for future use during the space travel.

A similar incident happened with the International Space Station, but It was able to avoid any collision.
