<p>Kanye West, the famous US rapper hints that he'll be running for the presidential elections in 2024 and wants former US President Donald Trump to be his running mate.</p>

<p>Trump, however, dismissed a recent meeting with the West as of no significance. He last week said that he will run for the upcoming election after he was defeated by Joe Biden in 2020, AFP reported.&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/kanye-west-wants-to-contest-for-2024-us-presidential-elections-wants-donal-trump-as-running-mate-536831"><strong>Also read |&nbsp;Kanye West may contest for 2024 US Presidential elections, wants Donald Trump as 'running mate'</strong></a></p>

<p>RapTV on Thursday uploaded a swirling symbol with the letter 'Ye' and the number '24' seemingly representing 2024, the year of the following US presidential election.</p>

<p>The rapper then shared a video of himself talking about seeing the former president this week in Florida. In the video, he said, "I think the thing that Trump was most perturbed about (was) me asking him to be my vice president." He continued that Trump began yelling at him at the table telling him that he will not win. "I'm like, hold on Trump, you're talking to Ye," he said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ye after his dinner on the same day asked users, "What you guys think his response was when I asked him to be my running mate in 2024?"</p>

<p>The former president however stated the dinner at his residence Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday was&nbsp;"quick and uneventful." He said that Ye called him to arrange a dinner and he later unexpectedly showed up with his three friends. They ate dinner and left for the airport.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Trump also wrote about his meeting with West on his Truth Social platform, claiming that they discussed politics "to a lesser extent" and business and that West had asked for Trump's advice concerning some of his difficulties. On his account, he said, "the two&nbsp;got along great." Further continuing he said "he should definitely not run for President" because "'any voters you may have should vote for TRUMP.'"</p>

<p>It's unclear if the rapper is serious about his objectives or whether he was just looking for attention following a string of PR stunts that damaged his reputation. The famous US rapper ran for president in 2020 but received less than 70,000 votes, landing in eighth place.&nbsp;<br />

Kanye West, the famous US rapper hints that he'll be running for the presidential elections in 2024 and wants former US President Donald Trump to be his running mate.

Kanye West, the famous US rapper hints that he'll be running for the presidential elections in 2024 and wants former US President Donald Trump to be his running mate. Trump, however, dismissed a recent meeting with the West as of no significance. He last week said that he will run for the upcoming election after he was defeated by Joe Biden in 2020, AFP reported.

In the video, he said, "I think the thing that Trump was most perturbed about (was) me asking him to be my vice president." He continued that Trump began yelling at him at the table telling him that he will not win. "I'm like, hold on Trump, you're talking to Ye," he said. Ye after his dinner on the same day asked users, "What you guys think his response was when I asked him to be my running mate in 2024?" The former president however stated the dinner at his residence Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday was "quick and uneventful." He said that Ye called him to arrange a dinner and he later unexpectedly showed up with his three friends. They ate dinner and left for the airport.

On his account, he said, "the two got along great." Further continuing he said "he should definitely not run for President" because "'any voters you may have should vote for TRUMP.'" It's unclear if the rapper is serious about his objectives or whether he was just looking for attention following a string of PR stunts that damaged his reputation. The famous US rapper ran for president in 2020 but received less than 70,000 votes, landing in eighth place. Trump, meanwhile, distanced himself from a pre-Thanksgiving dinner at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida with Kanye West, and white supremacist Nick Fuentes, claiming he didn’t know the identity of the far-right activist who was unexpectedly brought along with the rapper. “This past week, Kanye West called me to have dinner at Mar-a-Lago.

<p>Some 40 little school kids in New Zealand have managed to catch and kill over 600 rats within 100 days, in an effort to preserve the birdlife on the country's Stewart island. The kids were happy to capture and focused on getting rid of rats and caught them.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Officials of Yale's and Harvard's law school have announced that they will no&nbsp;longer be participating in US News and World Report's annual rankings of the top law schools in the world, saying its ‘methodologies are profoundly flawed’.&nbsp;</p>

<p>CBS News quoted an&nbsp;official from the Yale, Dean Heather K Gerken, saying in a blog post that the methodology adopted for&nbsp;the ranking&nbsp;list is "profoundly flawed". She said, "We have reached a point where the rankings process is undermining the core commitments of the legal profession," noting that the school&nbsp;"has taken the top spot every year" since the rankings began. "As a result, we will no longer participate."</p>

<p>Gerken&nbsp;said that the list discourages low-income students or public service aspiring students to pursue courses as it excludes loan-forgiveness programmes in student debts. The Public Service Programmes Loan Forgiveness&nbsp;was introduced in 2007 for forgiving loans for American students who wish to work in public service jobs.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The officials further said that the rankings list discourages universities from admitting low-income background students. For example, one such measure is "reputation" or how the college deals with rival colleges. The critics argued that this has little to do with the college's ability to educate its students. Another instance critics found was that it&nbsp;reinforces&nbsp;income inequality, hence reducing&nbsp;diversity among students.&nbsp;</p>

Canada: Turban-wearing Sikh woman to be the new city councillor of Brampton

<p>Have you seen a snake in real life? Most would say yes. Well, have you seen or heard of a snake on the aeroplane? Well, this happened just before the aircraft landed at Newark Liberty International Airport.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The plot sounds familiar to the movie 'Snakes on a Plane', right? But this time, authorities didn't seek help from actor Samuel L Jackson to deal with the snake. However, unlike the movie, the instance didn't impact the activities at the airport.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The snake was found on Monday (October 19) by a passenger on the plane as it was taxiing at the airport. This created chaos among the passengers.</p>

<p>It was a garden snake which was later removed by the police and operation employees at the gate.</p>

<p>Another shocking pregnancy story grabs attention. A couple in the US witnessed the most shocking news of their lives. The couple found out that they were pregnant and then the baby was delivered after 48 hours. Can you believe that?</p>

<p>A pregnancy generally is for nine months, but in the case of Peyton Stover, a 23-year-old first-year teacher in Omaha it was something different and unusual to witness.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After ignoring her symptoms of fatigue which she thought was because of job stress, she finally visited the doctor. Stover in conversation with KETV said, "I just thought it was normal to be tired all the time."</p>

<p>Over 9,000 Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) delegates will cast their votes to choose the new Congress president on Monday in a historic decision. In its 137-year history, the party has chosen a new leader through elections six times.&nbsp;Senior party figures Mallikarjun Kharge and Shashi Tharoor are involved in the contest. While Tharoor has positioned himself as a candidate of change, senior leader Kharge is regarded as the "unofficial official candidate" of the Gandhi family.</p>

<p>A non-Gandhi will assume the role of party leader for the first time in 24 years. Almost 65 additional polling places spread across different states as well as the AICC headquarters in Delhi will all use secret voting systems to conduct the election.</p>

<p>The voters are required to check the box next to the name of the candidate they intend to support. The vote would be void if any other symbol or number were written, according to&nbsp;party Central Election Authority chairman Madhusudan Mistry.&nbsp;</p>

Sonia Gandhi has worked for 20 years in the organisation...Rahul Gandhi was also president...they have struggled for the party and put their strength for its growth."</p>

<p>Parliamentarian Shashi Tharoor, 66, claimed that amid the transformation he foresees, the party's "values and loyalty" will remain the same, with the means of achieving the objectives changing. In addition, he made a subtle jab at certain top figures who were endorsing Kharge, claiming that some of them were "indulging in 'netagiri' and informing party people" who Sonia Gandhi wanted to be elected.</p>

Congress presidential elections: Stage set for Tharoor, Kharge face-off

<p>The government-appointed committee investigating claims that four cough syrups made in India may have led&nbsp;to the deaths of 66 children in The Gambia has found that the clinical data provided by the WHO so far is insufficient to identify the aetiology.</p>

<p>Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) V G Somani said that the WHO has been informed about this on Saturday.</p>

<p>On October 13, the WHO's Rutendo Kuwana wrote to the DCGI to inquire about the status of the inquiry into Maiden Pharmaceuticals, the Sonipat-based maker of the four cough syrups.</p>

<p>In response to an email, Dr&nbsp;Somani said on Saturday that the Union ministry of health has established a committee of technical specialists to review and analyse the specifics of the adverse event reports and any relevant information supplied or to be shared by WHO, and to recommend subsequent action.</p>

<p>In its first meeting, the four-member committee, which is led by Dr Y. K. Gupta, Vice Chairperson of the Standing National Committee on Medicines, reviewed the reports and communications that have been so far received from the WHO. The committee also made a number of observations.</p>

<p>Mentioning the observations, Dr Somani said, "The clinical features and the treatment received by the children as shared by <a href="https://www.wionews.com/science/signs-of-dementia-can-be-detected-at-least-nine-years-prior-to-official-diagnosis-says-study-525111">WHO</a> so far are inadequate to determine the aetiology."</p>

<p>Dr Somani added that if a verbal autopsy was performed, the WHO might share a complete report.</p>

<p>Dr&nbsp;Somani has also enquired about the quantity of biological samples taken from children who had clinical symptoms similar to acute renal injury as well as the quantity of stool samples taken and analysed.</p>

<p>He also wanted information on the circumstances in which these items were used, as well as information on the product samples that were tested and found to be free of EG and DEG (as well as their composition).&nbsp;</p>

<p>"You are therefore requested to share the report on causal relations along with above details, as observed by the said Technical Committee at the earliest for further examination and follow up action at our level," he wrote.</p>

<p>"The manufacturing site has been inspected, test reports of sampled products from the laboratory are awaited and all the manufacturing activities of the manufacturer in question have been stopped," he said.</p>

<p>The four-person expert panel was set up by the Union health ministry on Wednesday to look into the specifics and adverse event reports regarding the deaths of 66 children in Gambia that may have been connected to four cough syrups produced by Maiden Pharmaceuticals' Sonipat facility. These reports were received from the WHO.</p>

<p>After reviewing and analysing the reports of adverse events, the causal relationship, and all relevant information that has already been shared by or will be shared by the World Health Organization, the committee will recommend a further course of action to the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI).</p>

<p>WHO has not yet disclosed the connection between the deaths. To date, the WHO has provided CDSCO with the certificates of analysis, images, and summaries of each product sampled.</p>

<p>According to official sources, the WHO has announced that it is doing more inquiry.</p>

<p>While the Haryana State Drug Controller on October 7 issued Maiden Pharmaceuticals a show cause notice requesting an explanation of the "many contraventions" found during a recent inspection within a week or risk licence suspension or cancellation, the Haryana government on October 11 issued an order to cease all manufacturing operations of the company with immediate effect.</p>

<p>According to recent internal correspondence, Warner Bros. Television CEO Channing Dungey claimed that the planned merger might have more effects than initially thought.</p>

<p>Cartoon Network is more than just a kids' cartoon channel from the 1990s. It enriched the childhoods of several kids. From Scooby Doo to Tom &amp; Jerry, these characters became an essential part of many childhoods.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to media reports, Warner Bros. announced on Tuesday that they were officially eliminating 125 jobs, or 26 per cent of their workforce, across scripted, non-scripted, and ongoing programmes. However, as per some officials in Cartoon Network, these are all just rumours.</p>

<p>After the news broke, netizens flocked together on Twitter to pay homage to the original Cartoon Network. They trended #RIPCartoonNetwork.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This was a way to show their appreciation and love for the fantastic 30 years. Take a look!</p>

#RIPCartoonNetwork: Warner Bros declares official merge, netizens pay tribute to fantastic 30 years

<p>Technology is taking over human work day by day, even in cooking food now. As per recent news, a company in south California has developed a high-tech robotic arm that makes better French fries and onion rings than humans.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Miso, the company that developed the robotic arm, which will be directed by cameras and artificial intelligence that will take the frozen fries out of the freezer, fry them and pour them into a tray with sauce. Amazing, isn't it?</p>

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/asteroid-that-wiped-out-dinosaurs-also-triggered-global-tsunami-waves-says-study-522647"><strong>Also read |&nbsp;Asteroid that wiped out dinosaurs also triggered global tsunami waves, says study</strong></a></p>

<p>In an interview with Reuters, Mike Bell, Miso's Chief Executive Chief, said, "When an order comes in through the restaurant system, it automatically spits out the instructions to Floppy." He further said, "... It does it faster, more accurately, more reliably, and happier than most humans do it."</p>

'More accurate, reliable, and happier': Robo arm makes better french fries, onion rings than humans

<p>Hollywood A-lister Tom Hardy, who has been in movies including Inception, Dunkirk, and Venom as well as the hit Netflix series Peaky Blinders, competed in and won a martial arts match. The actor, 45, took part in the Milton Keynes-based Ultimate Martial Arts Championships' 2022 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Open Championship, according to an article in The Guardian published on Tuesday.</p>

<p>Hardy, who sported a blue gi took down all his opponents and left the spectators entertained, as reported by the CNN.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“Everyone recognised him but he was very humble and was happy to take time out for people to take photographs with him,” a spokesperson for the championships was quoted as saying in the report. “It was a real pleasure to have him compete at our event,” he added.</p>

Tom Hardy secretly enters martial arts tournament, wins all matches

<p>An auto-rickshaw driver, who was planning to go to Malaysia to work as a chef,&nbsp;won the ₹ 25 crore Onam bumper lottery in Kerala on Sunday,&nbsp;just a day after his application for a loan of ₹ 3 lakh was approved.</p>

<p>Even more interesting is that Anoop, hailing from Sreevaraham, bought the winning ticket by breaking his son's piggy bank just hours before the draw.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He claimed that he did not like the first ticket he picked, so he went with another one that ended up winning.</p>

<p>Anoop, who was overjoyed about the money and his trip to <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/malaysias-former-pm-najib-razaks-daughter-requests-for-his-proper-medical-care-515615">Malaysia</a>, said: "I told the bank when they contacted today about the loan that I no longer needed it. I also won't be travelling to Malaysia." He has been purchasing lottery tickets for the past 22 years and, according to Anoop, has previously won sums ranging from a few hundred to as much as 5,000.</p>

<p>"I was not expecting to win and therefore, I was not watching the lottery results on TV. However, when I checked my phone, I saw that I had won. I could not believe it and showed it to my wife. She confirmed that it was the winning number," he said.</p>

<p>"But I was still tensed, so I called a lady I know who sells lottery tickets and sent her a picture of my ticket. She confirmed that it was the winning number," Anoop said.</p>

Here's the answer: a 26-year-old Triparna Chakraborty from Kolkata found her way to her desirable dream job and won a staggering Rs 5 lakh ($6,273) for her exceptional sleeping abilities.</p>

<p>Chakraborty submitted an application for a Wakefit.co internship programme. Wakefit.co is a D2C sleep solution firm.</p>

<p>Triparna, a Howrah resident, won the competition. She slept for nine hours nonstop for 100 straight days, defeating four of her fellow contestants to win the sleep-off. She gave a brief explanation of her pre-sleep routine to her followers, outlining some simple habits they may adopt to get a restful night's sleep.</p>

Watch: Kolkata girl wins over $6,000 for her exceptional sleeping abilities

<p>This woman's conception is one in a million. A 19-year-old woman gave birth to twins, but their biological fathers are different. Although this event is astounding, it is quite possible.</p>

<p>This is known as heteropaternal superfecundation, which occurs when a second ova released during the menstrual cycle is fertilised by the sperm cells of a different man in separate sexual intercourse, according to the journal Biomedica.</p>

<p>Nine months after engaging in sexual activity with two men on the same day, the woman gave birth to twins. She decided to take a paternity test to validate her suspicions as their first birthday approached since she started to question their father. The woman considered one man&nbsp;to be the father, so she gathered his DNA. However, only one child's DNA was matched.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The mother, in conversation with Globo, said, "I remembered that I had sex with another man and called him to take the test, which was positive." She further added, "I was surprised by the results. I didn’t know this could happen. They are very similar."</p>

'One in a million': 19-year-old woman gives birth to twins with different biological dads

<p>Most 90-year-old&nbsp;individuals will like to ring in their birthday by sitting in a cosy home, surrounded by their loved ones, enjoying food and drinks and later getting to their bed&nbsp;early. However, for a&nbsp;Minnesota nonagenarian, celebrating her 91st birthday in such a manner was a strict no-no.</p>

<p>Ida Shannon, who turns 91 years old&nbsp;later this month, ditched the ordinary and went skydiving last Sunday to celebrate her life milestone.</p>

<p>"Life would be pretty dull if you didn't embrace adventures.&nbsp;I like taking risks. I think I was born that way," she said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ida, who had celebrated her 80th birthday&nbsp;by going zip-lining, had always dreamt of going skydiving as her next adventure.</p>

<p>"Someone asked me what I was going to do next, and without even thinking about it, I said, 'Oh, I'll just go skydiving,'" said Ida in an interview to CBS.&nbsp;</p>

<p>To make Shannon's dream come true, the members of her church stepped up and started to make the arrangement.</p>

<p>The church members collected money amongst themselves and managed to send Shannon aboard a plane so that she could jump thousands of feet down and make her dream a reality.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ahead of the jump, Ida noted that it was going to be scary initially but she wanted to enjoy the experience.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The first minute or two is going to be kind of scary because you have to wait for the parachute to open. But after that, I exepcted to be able to leap down on god's earth and enjoy what god has created," added Ida.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Daisy May, one of Ida's friends and a member of the church referred to her as real-life wonder woman.&nbsp;"She's like the real Wonder Woman. She's strong and loves people. We are family. She is like the grandmother I wish I had."&nbsp;</p>
