Iranian state television has aired a disturbing video appearing to threaten President Donald Trump's youngest son, Barron Trump. The nearly three-minute broadcast, reportedly aired by Iran's state broadcaster IRIB, was titled “Where to kill Barron Trump?” and showed purported locations linked to the 20-year-old. The video also suggested a $10 million reward, though the bounty claim has not been independently verified. The U.S. Secret Service confirmed it is aware of the footage and said it investigates anything perceived as a threat to its protectees. Separately, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has claimed Iran attempted to assassinate one of his sons, without providing details.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is one of the strongest political leaders in the world. However, his personal life has remained shrouded in mystery and not much is known about his family.

A Russian investigative journalism website's report has now made some startling claims, that Putin has two secret sons who are spending their luxurious life in a heavily guarded mansion, but in isolation.&nbsp;

The Dossier Centre claimed that the two sons - Ovan Putin and Vladimir Putin Jr. - have been living in their father’s vast mansion which is close to Lake Valdai.

The mother of the two boys is former Olympic rhythmic gymnast Alina Kabaeva whose relationship with Putin has been known in Russia, claimed the Dossier Centre.

As per the report, the two boys have governesses, nannies, teachers and officers from the Kremlin Federal Guard and they love playing with a huge Lego set. The boys also have an iPad each.

“They have to play mostly alone or with adults. They only see their parents late at night," said the report.

In the mansion, there are two ponies, rabbits, and a St Bernard dog which is looked after by Kremlin guards but stays with the family. The report also stated that the two children use Disney&nbsp;cartoon impressions to annoy Putin.

<h2>Putin's sons have no mention in government databases</h2>

As per the report, Ivan was born at the Sant’Anna maternity clinic in the spring of 2015 in the Swiss city of Lugano and Vladimir Jr. was born in the spring of 2019 in Moscow.

Putin has never spoken directly about the boys. However, while addressing school children in Siberia, this week he said, “Members of my family, the little ones, speak Chinese.” It has also been reported that the kids are learning English and German.

However, there is no mention of Putin's sons in any government databases.&nbsp;

Putin has two secret sons with his gymnast lover Kabaeva: Report

In a study carried out on killer whales, also known as orcas, in the North Pacific, scientists found that&nbsp;mothers made a "lifelong sacrifice" for their sons.&nbsp;The chances of reproducing are significantly reduced in a female killer whale once she rears a son.&nbsp;As per the study, the amount of energy these whales spend to feed their sons compromises their health, and reduces their ability to reproduce and raise other children.&nbsp;

The University of Exeter's Prof Darren Croft said, "Mothers sacrifice their own food and their own energy."&nbsp;

Throughout their lives, orcas are believed to be closely bonded with their families. The female offsprings of killer whales become independent after they grow, however, the males remain dependent on their mothers and even share the food caught by their matriarchs.&nbsp;

Prof Croft called it a "new insight into the complex social lives and family lives of these amazing animals". The study, which was published in the journal Current Biology, falls under an ongoing project aimed at understanding the family life of killer whales.

University of Exeter and Centre for Whale Research's Dr Michael Weiss said, "Our previous research has shown that sons have a higher chance of survival if their mother is around. We wanted to find out if this help comes at a price and the answer is yes. Killer whale mothers pay a high cost in terms of their future reproduction to keep their sons alive."&nbsp;

The scientists, in their earlier studies, had already discovered that killer whale mothers and sons "hung out" together even after the male offspring entered adulthood.

"They'll even feed their sons salmon they catch," said Prof Croft, adding that adult female offsprings hunt independently.

"If a mother can get her son to become that big male in the population, then he's the one that will sire (much of the next generation)," Prof Croft explained.&nbsp;
