India@75: Eight great inventions the world can thank India for

Record-breaking British athlete Roger Bannister, the first man to run a mile in under four minutes, has died aged 88, his family announced on Sunday.

&quot;Sir Roger Bannister, died peacefully in Oxford on 3rd March 2018, aged 88, surrounded by his family who was as loved by him, as he was loved by them,&quot; his family said.

&quot;He banked his treasure in the hearts of his friends,&quot; they added, in a statement published by the Press Association news agency.

Bannister gained global sporting glory on May 6, 1954, when he ran a mile (1.6 kilometres) in three minutes 59.4 seconds at the Iffley Road track in Oxford.

Seb Coe, president of the International Association of Athletics Federations, said Bannister`s death marked &quot;a day of intense sadness both for our nation and for all of us in athletics&quot;.

&quot;There is not a single athlete of my generation who was not inspired by Roger and his achievements both on and off the track,&quot; tweeted Coe, who won two Olympic gold medals in the 1980s.

Half a century later after Bannister`s record, the Royal Mint celebrated the occasion by issuing a 50 pence coin showing an athlete`s running legs against a stopwatch.

British Prime Minister Theresa May described Bannister as &quot;a great British sporting icon whose achievements were an inspiration to us all&quot;.

&quot;He will be greatly missed,&quot; she wrote on Twitter.

Despite being famed for breaking the four-minute barrier, Bannister said he felt a greater sense of achievement winning gold at the 1954 Commonwealth Games in Vancouver, beating his great rival Australian John Landy in a race later dubbed the &quot;Miracle Mile&quot;.

&quot;I think that racing in the Olympics and Commonwealths is more important than breaking records,&quot; Bannister said in 2014.

&quot;Vancouver was the pinnacle of my athletics career. It is very difficult to break records during the Olympic competition, but winning races was better than holding world records.&quot;

The current one-mile record has since 1999 been held by Morocco`s Hicham El Guerrouj with a time of 3:43.13 secs.

But Bannister`s achievement has continued to inspire athletics enthusiasts, with the shoes he wore to break the four-minute barrier selling for a record.

The black-leather pair of shoes sold for &pound;266,500 in September 2015 -- about $409,000 at the exchange rate at the time.

By then Bannister was having trouble walking, let alone running, after revealing he was suffering from Parkinson`s disease.

The condition progressively damages part of the brain over time and is one Bannister was familiar with, even before he was first diagnosed a few years ago, from his lengthy career as the neurologist.

&quot;I am being well looked after and I don`t intend to let it interfere -- as much as I can,&quot; he told the BBC in 2014.

&quot;Just consider the alternatives -- that is the way I look at it,&quot; he added. &quot;Intellectually I am not (degenerating) and what is walking anyway!&quot;

Roger Bannister, the first person to run a mile in under four minutes, dies at 88

Dallas churchgoers prayed and reflected on the dark and deadly events of the past few days during services on Sunday. 
 
On Thursday five Dallas police officers were killed in a sniper ambush attack. Seven other police officers and two civilians were wounded in the shooting at the end of a protest over the recent police killings of Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Philando Castile a suburb of St Paul, Minnesota. The Dallas shooter was a US Army reservist who served in Afghanistan. 
 
During Sunday service at Joy Tabernacle AME church in Dallas, the small congregation of mostly African-Americans expressed their support for the police and their service to the community, while insisting that changes be made to the way communities of colour are policed. 
 
&quot;Time and time again, particularly this past week with Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, we see that there are times when those interactions have proven deadly and they&#39;ve not had to,&quot; said Rev Dr Michael W Waters, founder and senior pastor of Joy Tabernacle AME Church. 
 
Dr. Waters said he and several of his congregants were among the protesters in downtown Dallas on Thursday and he led a prayer before the shooting began. 
 
Two law enforcement officers joined the congregation and discussed how to overcome the misunderstandings between the police and the black community. 
 
Law enforcement officer Chelsea Whitaker said she was one of the responding officers during Thursday&#39;s shooting and helped search rooftops for the shooter.&nbsp;Despite anger with the police, she urged compliance with law enforcement. 
 
&quot;I&#39;ve also had to talk to our brothers to try to get them to understand what compliance means. I also have to explain to them that you don&#39;t get an explanation for why I&#39;m here before you comply. I teach classes to help our young people understand what they are supposed to do when they are pulled over in traffic. I understand it. I get. And both sides are very important and you can&#39;t speak about the one without talking about the other.&quot; 
 
Dallas Police Department officer Margarita Argumedo called for unity. 
 
&quot;Seeing everybody just coming up, lining up to give us hugs, to bring food, to bring water, to just say that they are with us and that they are fighting the fight with us, even though...Some of them say, &#39;I don`t even like police, but I want to be here to say I&#39;m sorry for what happened. That&#39;s not the way it needs to be done.&#39; And we need to find a way to fight together to solve the issue,&quot; she said. 
 
Dr. Waters added, &quot;My hope is that we will work together and we would take the opportunity afforded by this great tragedy to build together a better Dallas. I&#39;m committed to doing my part to work towards that end and I believe many are also committed towards the same.&quot; 
 
Also on Sunday, US President Barack Obama said there was legitimate criticism to be made of the criminal justice system and that citizens should continue to protest against it.&nbsp;
