<p>UEFA's statement read: "In the lead-up to the game, the turnstiles at the Liverpool end became blocked by thousands of fans who had purchased fake tickets which did not work in the turnstiles.

<p>Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said the families of his squad and staff were caught up in the chaotic scenes outside the Stade de France.

Real Madrid vs Liverpool pre-match chaos: Fans pepper-sprayed, tear-gassed; kick-off was delayed - Watch

<p>Real&nbsp;Madrid&nbsp;secured a record-extending 14th European Cup when they beat Liverpool 1-0 in a Champions League final delayed for more than half an hour after police tried to stop people trying to force their way into the Stade de France on Saturday.</p>

<p>Vinicius Junior scored just before the hour with&nbsp;Real's first attempt on goal and their goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois made several fine saves to deny Liverpool, who end the season with two domestic cups having also failed to win the Premier League.</p>

<p>In a battle of European heavyweights, Juergen Klopp's side had more chances but lacked sharpness when it mattered as Carlo Ancelotti became the first coach to enjoy four European Cup triumphs having won the trophy with AC Milan and&nbsp;Real&nbsp;twice, leapfrogging Liverpool's Bob Paisley and&nbsp;Real's Zinedine Zidane.</p>

<p>"I am a record man. I had luck to come here last year and have a fantastic season. A fantastic club, a&nbsp;really good squad with a lot of quality and mental character," said Ancelotti of a team who came from behind against Paris St Germain, Chelsea and Manchester City to reach the final.</p>

<p>It was LaLiga titleholders&nbsp;Real's fourth Champions League crown in seven years as they improved their impressive record in the competition with their eighth victory in as many finals.</p>

<p>Liverpool were looking for their seventh European Cup triumph but despite their best efforts they were left in awe of Courtois's sublime performance.</p>

<p>"In the dressing room nobody feels it was a great season at this moment," said Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp, whose team beat Chelsea on penalties in the FA Cup and League Cup.</p>

<p>"We played a good game, not a perfect game, but I don't think a perfect game would have been possible the way the opponent was set up with a deep formation.</p>

<p>"We had a lot of shots but not the clearest and Thibaut Courtois made two top saves."</p>

<p>The final was to be played in St Petersburg but European soccer governing body UEFA relocated it to Paris after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which Moscow calls a 'special operation'.</p>

<p>The game started after a 35-minute delay following incidents outside the stadium when fans were tear-gassed by riot police as people without tickets tried to force their way in. [L1N2XK09D]</p>

<p>Liverpool had won the previous European Cup final both teams had played in Paris, winning 1-0 at the Parc des Princes in 1981, which was&nbsp;Real's last defeat in a final.</p>

<p>Liverpool were the slight favourites on Saturday but&nbsp;Real&nbsp;beat the Merseyside club for the second time in a row after their 3-1 victory in 2018.</p>

Real Madrid beat Liverpool 1-0 in Champions League final

<p>Chicken, which is said to be the world's most consumed meat, is becoming expensive. A Bloomberg report mentioned that chicken prices have been surging in recent months. From the United States to Singapore, consumers are witnessing an increase in prices. But why is it happening?&nbsp;</p>

<p>The report stated three main reasons behind the price rise, which are the Russia-Ukraine war, detection of bird flu cases and global inflation.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The ongoing Russia-Ukraine war has disrupted the global supply chain. In the aftermath of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, multiple economic sanctions were imposed on Moscow by the US and Western allies, causing strained relations between them.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Gas and wheat are one of the most impacted commodities amid the Ukraine war. However, the rise in chicken prices is also connected to the war.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Bloomberg report explained how the prices are affected. Ukraine is a major producer of corn and wheat - components of chicken feed. Now, because of the war, global supply has been cut off.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Such disruptions are leading to significant pain for poultry farmers. As per the report, prices of a bird jumped about 8 per cent from the end of last year in the UK.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Avian flu emerged as another jolt to the poultry farmers, who struggled to stop the spread and were forced to implement mass culls.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Bloomberg report noted that in the US, more than 38 million chickens and turkeys have been killed since the start of February in a massive outbreak. The UK faced its largest-ever outbreak of bird flu last October. One in 20 birds has been culled, the report mentioned.&nbsp;</p>

From Manhattan to Malaysia, why chickens are becoming expensive?

<p>The Intrepid - the world's largest bottle of Scotch whisky, which is 5ft 11 inches tall and filled with 311 litres, has sold for about $1.4 million, according to the auction house Lyon and Turnbull. The bidding took place both live online on Wednesday (May 25) and was eventually sold to an international unknown collector. The auction house stated that The Intrepid is a fine 32-year-old single-malt distilled at the prestigious The Macallan in Speyside in 1989. The whisky entered the Guinness World Record in September 2021 when it was filled last year. The bottle contains the equivalent of 444 standard bottles.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It is created by Fah Mai Holdings Group Inc. &amp; Rosewin Holdings PLC and presented at Duncan Taylor Scotch Whisky in Huntly, Scotland, UK. The Intrepid project was created by Daniel Monk, of Fah Mai and Rosewin Holdings, in memory of his father Captain Stanley Monk.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The auction house Lyon and Turnbull noted that it is pale gold and has a sweet taste with notes of apple.&nbsp;</p>

The Intrepid - the world's largest bottle of Scotch whisky, which is 5ft 11 inches tall and filled with 311 litres, has sold for about $1.4 million, according to the auction house Lyon and Turnbull. The bidding took place both live online on Wednesday (May 25) and was eventually sold to an international unknown collector. The auction house stated that The Intrepid is a fine 32-year-old single-malt distilled at the prestigious The Macallan in Speyside in 1989. The whisky entered the Guinness World Record in September 2021 when it was filled last year. The bottle contains the equivalent of 444 standard bottles. It is created by Fah Mai Holdings Group Inc. & Rosewin Holdings PLC and presented at Duncan Taylor Scotch Whisky in Huntly, Scotland, UK. The Intrepid project was created by Daniel Monk, of Fah Mai and Rosewin Holdings, in memory of his father Captain Stanley Monk. The auction house Lyon and Turnbull noted that it is pale gold and has a sweet taste with notes of apple.

The Intrepid: World's largest bottle of whisky, filled with 311 litres, sells for a whopping price

<p>State-run&nbsp;Coal&nbsp;India, the world's largest&nbsp;coal&nbsp;miner, will import the fuel for use by utilities, a power ministry letter seen by Reuters showed on Saturday, as shortages raise concerns about renewed power outages.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It would be the first time since 2015 that&nbsp;Coal&nbsp;India&nbsp;has imported the fuel, highlighting efforts by state and federal officials to stock up to avoid a repeat of April, when&nbsp;India&nbsp;faced its worst power cuts in more than six years.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Coal&nbsp;India&nbsp;would import&nbsp;coal&nbsp;for blending on government-to-government (G2G) basis and supply ... to thermal power plants of state generators and independent power producers (IPPs)," the federal Power Ministry said in the letter dated May 28.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The letter was sent to all utilities, top federal and state energy officials including the federal&nbsp;coal&nbsp;secretary and the chairman of&nbsp;Coal&nbsp;India.&nbsp;</p>

<p>India&nbsp;is expected to face a wider&nbsp;coal&nbsp;shortage during the third quarter of 2022 due to expectations of higher electricity demand, stoking fears of widespread power outages.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The power ministry said in the letter the decision was taken after nearly all states suggested that multiple&nbsp;coal&nbsp;import tenders by states would lead to a confusion and sought centralised procurement through&nbsp;Coal&nbsp;India.&nbsp;</p>

<p>India&nbsp;stepped up pressure on utilities to increase imports to blend with local&nbsp;coal&nbsp;in recent days, warning of cuts to the supply of domestically mined&nbsp;coal&nbsp;if power plants did not build up&nbsp;coal&nbsp;inventories through imports.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But the power ministry on Saturday asked states to suspend tenders that are "under process".&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The tenders under process by state generators and IPPs for importing&nbsp;coal&nbsp;for blending may be kept in abeyance to await the price discovery by&nbsp;Coal&nbsp;India&nbsp;through G2G route, so as to procure&nbsp;coal&nbsp;at least possible rates," the ministry said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Coal&nbsp;inventories at power plants have declined by about 13% since April to the lowest pre-summer levels in years.&nbsp;</p>

Coal India to import for first time in years as power shortages loom

<p>The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), the civil aviation watchdog in India, imposed a fine of Rs 5 lakh on IndiGo on Saturday (May 28). The action was taken against the airline for denying boarding to a specially-abled child at Ranchi airport earlier month.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On May 7, reports emerged that the Hyderabad-bound IndiGo flight left behind the child and their parents at the Ranchi airport. In the aftermath, a DGCA panel decided to issue a show-cause notice to the airline. The authorities cited the event as "inappropriate handling" of passengers.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Now, the fine has been imposed. The regulator slammed the incident. DGCA said the behaviour of the IndiGo ground staff and the handling of the child was "deficient" and it "exacerbated the situation".&nbsp;</p>

<p>It noted, "A more compassionate handling would have smoothened nerves, and calmed the child. It would have obviated the need for the extreme step resulting in denied boarding to the passengers."&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Special situations deserve extraordinary response but the airline staff failed to rise up to the occasion and in the process committed lapses," it added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Congress spokesperson Jaiveer Shergill hailed the decision. He praised BJP leader Jyotiraditya Scindia, his former colleague in the party and now Union Minister of civil aviation, for imposing the fine.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He tweeted, "Good decision by @DGCAIndia @JM_Scindia for imposing fine of Rs 5 Lac on Indigo for not letting a child with special needs board the aircraft - Concept of "no frills" airline does not &amp; cannot mean insensitive "customer service" !"&nbsp;</p>

<p>A team of engineers at Northwestern University has developed a tiny robotic crab prototype, and it looks absolutely adorable. The robot crab is tinier than a flea but it can apparently walk, bend, twist, turn and jump and perform several other functions. It is now claimed to be the smallest-ever remote-controlled walking robot - just a half-millimetre wide. The researchers have also developed millimetre-sized robots resembling inchworms, crickets and beetles. With their speed and accuracy, robots are helping humans in space exploration, medical sciences, other basic work, etc. while recognising objects, mapping new environments, performing operations, imitating human motions, acquiring new knowledge, etc.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The research published in&nbsp;<strong>Science Robotics</strong>&nbsp;stated that robots with sub-millimetre dimensions can be used for applications that range from "tools for minimally invasive surgical procedures in clinical medicine to vehicles for manipulating cells/tissues in biology research".&nbsp;</p>

<p>As per the study, limited classes of structures and materials can be used in such robots. However, it has also been understood that it can create challenges in achieving desired performance parameters and modes of operation.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Scientists have introduced approaches in manufacturing and actuation that address these constraints to enable "untethered, terrestrial robots with complex, three-dimensional (3D) geometries and heterogeneous material construction".&nbsp;</p>

<p>John A. Rogers, who is a professor of materials science and engineering at Northwestern University, said: "You might imagine micro-robots as agents to repair or assemble small structures or machines in industry or as surgical assistants to clear clogged arteries, to stop internal bleeding or to eliminate cancerous tumors -- all in minimally invasive procedures."&nbsp;</p>

UK: Massive fire breaks out at multi-million-dollar luxury superyacht, video goes viral

Monkeypox outbreaks: A list of countries that recorded cases recently. Will it be like COVID-19 pandemic?

<p>North Korea fired three missiles on Wednesday (May 25). The tests allegedly included one of its largest intercontinental ballistic missiles. In the aftermath, the United States intelligence is assessing&nbsp;whether North Korea tested a ballistic missile with properties that the US has not seen before earlier this week, CNN reported citing three US officials. The US and South Korea have said that North Korea tested three rockets, including an intercontinental ballistic missile. The report suggested that North Korea could be preparing for its first nuclear test since 2017. The US also forced a vote at the Security Council on toughening sanctions on North Korea.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As per the CNN report, out of the three missiles that were allegedly fired, one flew an unusual trajectory. The officials noted that the missile's flight path had a "double arc" with the missile ascending and then descending twice, the media outlet stated.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to two of the officials, as quoted by CNN, such an unusual trajectory suggests that North Korea might have been testing the ability to fire a missile and then make it re-enter the Earth's atmosphere to reach a target.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A joint statement from US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, South Korean Foreign Minister Park Jin and Japanese Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi on Friday noted: "The United States, the ROK, and Japan express deep concern about the May 25 DPRK launches of an intercontinental ballistic missile and shorter-range ballistic missiles."&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The DPRK has significantly increased the pace and scale of its ballistic missile launches since September 2021. Each of these launches violated multiple UNSC resolutions and posed a grave threat to the region and the international community," it added.&nbsp;</p>
