A political expert in California has warned of political polarisation in the United States, stating that the second Civil War could break out in the next 10 years. Daily Mail quoted Professor Benjamin Cohen from the University of California-Santa Barbara as saying that California could secede from the US, and this would trigger a civil war. Cohen noted in a university release that California could declare its independence from the US in 2035 because of the growing friction with the federal government. He says that it all comes down to identity which will motivate people to separate from the US. Cohen added that although this scenario looks impossible right now, things can change because in the so-called 'dream states', there is a movement to rally behind specific causes towards which people have a sense of attachment. So they would not want to remain part of the greater US family.

"It's difficult for me to imagine how things would divide up if there were a civil war. But the probability of such a war is substantially greater than zero," he wrote. Cohen said that the thought that states would secede from the US was an "underappreciated phenomenon." In this case, those states would form a new independent nation.

Chinese examinations can get really tough and competitive. This prompted one of the female students to get a man to impersonate her and take an exam on her behalf.

A popular TV host in China is facing backlash for openly favouring boys over girls. Zhu Dan, known for &nbsp;TV programmes like Do You Remember and The X Factor, admitted on camera during a show that “boys need more nutrition to grow" than girls. While cooking chicken soup on the variety show Wonderland, the 44-year-old categorically stated that the drumsticks should be given to the two boys, and the chicken wing should be served to the girl. Zhu is married to actor Zhou Yiwei and has a son and a daughter. Her statement on television has infuriated people across China where chicken drumsticks are considered a desirable cut of meat and are often only presented to someone one is leaning towards.

People on social media slammed Zhu for saying such things. A user wrote, “The most ridiculous thing is that she doesn’t even realise it’s inappropriate to say such things on a show. As a host who literally works with her mouth, shouldn’t she at least know what’s appropriate to say? I honestly don’t understand how she became a nationally famous host." Another said, "So she thinks that girls don’t need nutrition to grow up?" Zhu has responded to the criticism and issued a public apology on June 18. She said "had seen all criticisms and suggestions,” and thanked people for the feedback. She said she will try to "correct and grow". Zhu was earlier in the eye of a storm when she confused the names of several celebrities at a fashion show.

Chinese TV host slammed for giving chicken drumsticks to boys. Here's why it is a problem

It began with a simple and a random tweet. A simple, heartfelt plea from Ranjith Ravichandran, ana vid sports fan from Coimbatore: If anyone sponsor me 2000 rupees, I can go to watch this from Coimbatore.” He was talking about the Neeraj Chopra Classic 2025 — India’s first global javelin competition, a dream that finally found shape in 2025.&nbsp;He didn’t expect a reply. Let alone from the man himself. But hours later, his phone buzzed with a flurry of notifications. Neeraj Chopra, two-time Olympic medalist and reigning world champion, had quote-tweeted him. Not just acknowledged him — invited him. He had posted saying, “Hi, Ranjith. You've got a full VVIP experience waiting for you in Bengaluru because your trip to the @nc_classic is on me! And thanks to @RadissonHotels, you'll be staying about 90 metres away from me. See you soon!”&nbsp;In that moment, Ranjith wasn’t just a fan. He was seen. “I thought it was fake,” he laughed while talking to WION exclusively. “I had to check twice if it was the real account.” The disbelief lingered even when someone from JSW Sports called to coordinate logistics. “Until that call, I thought this couldn’t be happening.” But it was.<h2>See the viral tweet below</h2>

What makes this story more than a feel-good viral moment is the depth of Ranjith’s fandom. His journey as a sports lover goes back over 18 years — tracking Olympic disciplines, following Indian athletes, and even competing himself during his college days.&nbsp;He ran the 1500m when he was in college. He also played hockey. He was in the NCC. His life wasn’t defined by headlines, but by consistent, quiet dedication to Indian sport. And then came 2016 — the year a teenager from India shattered the junior javelin world record.&nbsp;“I still remember seeing the name Neeraj Chopra on the World Athletics website. An Indian holding a world record — that gave me goosebumps,” Ranjith said.&nbsp;That record still stands. So does Ranjith’s awe. “I’ve followed him ever since. Every tournament. From Commonwealth Games and Asian Games to the Diamond League and Tokyo Olympics and Paris Olympics. Whatever the time zone — even 2:30 am — I stay up.”&nbsp;When Neeraj made history at the Tokyo Olympics, Ranjith was on a post-COVID trip with friends. But even there, sport came first. “I dragged everyone to watch the final. We were watching casually at first, but once the final three throws started, nobody moved. I explained the rules to them — who throws first, what matters — everything. When he won, we were all screaming. I’ll never forget that moment.”&nbsp;Now, he’s about to make another unforgettable memory — seeing Neeraj Chopra in person.&nbsp;There are sporting legends. And then there are icons who make you feel seen. Neeraj Chopra didn’t just achieve greatness. He carried his fans along for the journey. And this response to Ranjith’s tweet wasn’t a PR stunt. It was a reflection of how deeply he values his supporters.&nbsp;“Not everyone replies to a random fan. But he did,” Ranjith says. “It means the world.” For a man who’s followed Neeraj across time zones, from juniors to Olympic gold, this isn’t just about meeting a celebrity. It’s about finally closing the circle — from being a fan behind the screen to standing beside the man who lit the spark.&nbsp;The Neeraj Chopra Classic 2025 is more than an athletics meet. It’s a symbol. For the first time, India is hosting a global javelin event named after one of its own. And it’s being broadcast live, in the Indian time zone. For fans like Ranjith, that matters.&nbsp;“You don’t have to wait till midnight anymore. You can go to the stadium. You can feel it. For the next Neeraj, this is huge,” he says. “I hope some boy in Bangalore sees it and says — I want to be that.”&nbsp;When asked if meeting Neeraj Chopra will be his top memory, Ranjith doesn’t hesitate. “No doubt. I’ve had many moments. But this? This will stay with me forever.”&nbsp;From quietly following middle-distance races in college to jumping with joy in a hotel room during Tokyo, to now getting a personal invitation from India’s greatest-ever athlete — this is the kind of fan story that reminds you why sport matters. Because sometimes, one tweet, one throw, one reply — can change a life.

Scientists say that the length of your fingers can indicate your sex drive, sexual behaviour and preferences. A study noted that how a person behaves sexually is shaped while he is still a foetus in the womb. The manner in which the brain responds to hormones like androgens (male sex hormones), decides how one would turn out sexually. However, there is no method available to measure this impact. Researchers from Okayama University in Japan turned to rats to decode the mystery. They concluded that the length of rats' fingers can indicate their sexual drive and behaviour. The study was led by Professor Hirotaka Sakamoto and Dr. Himeka Hayashi and published in Experimental Animals on May 14, 2025.&nbsp;The team found that the ratio of the second digit to the fourth digit, known as 2D:4D, can predict sexual behaviour and preference in rats. Scientists have been studying the digit ratio for years, and have concluded that this ratio is lower in men than women. In simple terms, this means that their index fingers are shorter relative to their ring fingers. The study noted that a lower 2D:4D ratio, that is a smaller index finger, indicated a stronger sex drive. “We found that the 2D:4D ratio serves as a reliable biological marker for predicting sexual activity in rats,” said Sakamoto. “Rats with shorter second digits were not only more sexually active but also showed a clear preference for female scent.” Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/jaipur-5-star-hotel-room-couple-sex-no-curtains-traffic-jam-1750399471057">Couple forgets to draw curtains of 5-star Jaipur hotel room while getting intimate, triggers traffic jam</a>&nbsp;<h2>Rats with shorter fingers had higher sex drive</h2>To confirm the hypothesis, the rats were subjected to situations where they could mate. The male rats with shorter second digits ejaculated during their first encounter than those who didn't. These rats also had a higher sexual drive and had stronger erectile function. The team also tried to understand their sexual preferences. They put the male rats in a cage with two beddings - one scented by females and the other by males. Initially, most of them explored the male bedding. But soon some of them remained stuck to the female bedding, exploring and sniffing around. This was noted only in rats with shorter second digits.&nbsp;<h2>Brain is wired towards sexual behaviour before birth</h2>The other thing the study explored was how early the brain gets wired sexually. They found that this starts in the womb when hormone exposure affects the brain, which is later reflected in the 2D:4D ratio. It shapes a person's sexual orientation, sex drive and emotional attachment. “Our results suggest a profound link between the body and mind, with significant scientific and clinical implications,” said Sakamoto. “Simply examining our fingers could one day help identify aspects of our behavioural tendencies.” The results are only one-sided for now since only male rats were studied in this experiment.&nbsp; &nbsp;

The length of a mans finger can tell about his sex drive. A study has found that how men act sexually, their sexual preferences and their erectile function can all be revealed by one little test.

The team found that the ratio of the second digit to the fourth digit, known as 2D:4D, can predict sexual behaviour and preference in rats. Scientists have been studying the digit ratio for years, and have concluded that this ratio is lower in men than women. In simple terms, this means that their index fingers are shorter relative to their ring fingers. The study noted that a lower 2D:4D ratio, that is a smaller index finger, indicated a stronger sex drive. “We found that the 2D:4D ratio serves as a reliable biological marker for predicting sexual activity in rats,” said Sakamoto. “Rats with shorter second digits were not only more sexually active but also showed a clear preference for female scent.” Also Read: Couple forgets to draw curtains of 5-star Jaipur hotel room while getting intimate, triggers traffic jam Rats with shorter fingers had higher sex drive To confirm the hypothesis, the rats were subjected to situations where they could mate. The male rats with shorter second digits ejaculated during their first encounter than those who didn't. These rats also had a higher sexual drive and had stronger erectile function. The team also tried to understand their sexual preferences. They put the male rats in a cage with two beddings - one scented by females and the other by males. Initially, most of them explored the male bedding. But soon some of them remained stuck to the female bedding, exploring and sniffing around. This was noted only in rats with shorter second digits. Brain is wired towards sexual behaviour before birth The other thing the study explored was how early the brain gets wired sexually. They found that this starts in the womb when hormone exposure affects the brain, which is later reflected in the 2D:4D ratio. It shapes a person's sexual orientation, sex drive and emotional attachment. “Our results suggest a profound link between the body and mind, with significant scientific and clinical implications,” said Sakamoto. “Simply examining our fingers could one day help identify aspects of our behavioural tendencies.” The results are only one-sided for now since only male rats were studied in this experiment.

The length of a man's finger can tell about his sex drive. A study has found that how men act sexually, their sexual preferences and their erectile function can all be revealed by one little test.&nbsp;

An American Airlines plane returned to its origin airport after a person snooping in on a fellow passenger's phone was alarmed by a text message that read RIP. The person who had received the message was flying to Dallas following a relative's passing away. The message was sent in response to the death of the person, as RIP is an acronym for Rest In Peace. However, the person next to this passenger read it and alerted the crew about it. They interpreted the message to mean a bomb threat, Puerto Rico's Office of Explosives and Public Safety noted.

Bomb threat? RIP text triggers panic, forces American Airlines plane to turn around

The Japan earthquake prediction for July 5 has caused panic and a scare, especially since one region has been shaken by over 1,000 quakes since 21 June. But evidence suggests that there is no scientific backing to say that a megaquake and tsunami will hit the region anytime soon. 

Ryo Tatsuki prophecy: Clues that prove Japan megaquake won't happen. But, next 30 years remain a risk

Japan’s remote Tokara Islands has been rattle by several (hundreds) earthquakes in the last few days, instilling fear among people of a major catastrophe. Now a quake with a magnitude of 5.3 shook islands in southwestern Japan on Saturday (July 5).&nbsp;&nbsp;According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, the quake struck off the Tokara island chain at 6:29 a.m. at a depth of about 20 kilometers, reported the local media. No tsunami warning was issued.&nbsp;This comes amid predictions made by a manga artist Ryo Tatsuki, a self-proclaimed clairvoyant who had foretold a 2011 disaster and speculated a major calamity striking Japan in early July.&nbsp;In her comic book The Future I Saw, Tatsuki claims that Japan will witness a massive disaster on July 5, 2025.

Pakistan People's Party (PPP) leader Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that his country &nbsp;has now idea where the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) Masood Azhar is. In an interview with Al Jazeera, Bhutto said that Islamabad has no knowledge of the whereabouts of the terrorist, who as mainly involved in the April 22 terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir that killed 26 people. Bhutto said that if India provides any evidence of Azhar's presence in Pakistan, Islamabad would arret the terrorist.&nbsp;Bhutto said, “If and when the Indian government shares information with us that he is on Pakistani soil, we would be more than happy to arrest him.” He claimed that so far, India has not given any information. Moreover, Bhutto also suggest that Pakistan believes Azhar could be in Afghanistan, citing his involvement in the Afghan jihad.“It’s not possible for Pakistan to do what NATO couldn’t do in Afghanistan. There is no reason for us to want anyone of concern to be active,” he told the Qatar news agency.&nbsp;Who is Masood Azhar? Masood Azhar is the most wanted by India for his role in several terror attacks, including the IC814 hijack in 1999, and the Parliament attack in 2001. He was listed as a designated terrorist by the UNSC in 2019.The terror mastermind survived the precision strike and later released a statement saying at least 10 of his family members and four close associates were killed in Operation Sindoor.&nbsp;Among those killed in the air strike on the Markaz Subhan Allah complex were Masood Azhar’s elder sister, her husband, his nephew, and his niece. The 18-acre facility that functioned as a JeM hub was reduced to rubble, but Masood Azhar survived and is believed to be hiding somewhere with the help of the Pakistani establishment.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Viral Manga quake prediction fails, but Japanese scientists warn of this...

Robert F. Kennedy Jr, the Secretary of Health and Human Services in the United States, made a weird suggestion back in March that bird flu should be allowed to run rampant in chickens and the infected birds should not be culled. However, this strange idea can trigger another pandemic, a study has warned. Kennedy and Brooke Rollins, Secretary of Agriculture, proposed that letting bird flu "rip" through poultry would help "identify the birds, and preserve the birds, that are immune to it." The H5N1 virus is highly pathogenic and doing so can prove highly dangerous. The research was published in the journal Science on July 3. Kennedy made the spooky suggestion on March 11 while talking to Fox News.<h2>Disease X: Can bird flu trigger the next pandemic?</h2>The paper has been compiled by a group of virologists, veterinarians and health security experts. The team argues that what Kennedy wants to do could trigger another pandemic in the coming years. They state that if the virus is allowed to run unabated, it could mutate, become stronger and even spill over to humans. This would be the perfect recipe for the next pandemic. Scientists have long raised concerns about Disease X, another pandemic that could take over the world. While there has not been clarity on what it would be, experts argue that bird flu has the makings of a pandemic if it continues to spread and grow.

She added that in the worst-case scenario, "the virus adapts and expands its host range to become transmissible in humans … Now we have a pandemic." According to current regulations on bird flu, farmers need to cull the infected birds to contain the spread of the disease, for which the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) compensates them.

The HHS secretary and Dr. Mehmet Oz, the administrator for the US Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, had also asked the owners of a Canadian ostrich farm where bird flu was detected to observe them to gather "significant scientific knowledge" about the birds. Notably, H5N1 bird flu was detected in 398 ostriches of the farm in December 2024 and January this year. In a letter written to the head of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, and posted on X by Kennedy, he wrote that the ostriches may have already acquired some "downstream immunity" to the virus. Oz even offered to relocate the birds to his Florida ranch.&nbsp;Sorrell does not agree with this method, and said, "Poultry infected with H5 shed a tremendous amount of virus. If effective controls designed to mitigate the quantity of viral shedding and known transmission pathways are removed, the exposure risk for other animals and humans on site and on neighbouring farms will increase, and the opportunity for H5 to evolve to be a more effective poultry pathogen increases."

Bird flu should be allowed to run through chicken and other poultry, Robert F. Kennedy Jr, the US  Secretary of Health and Human Services, said. But this weird method can cause another pandemic, experts have warned.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr, the Secretary of Health and Human Services in the United States, made a weird suggestion back in March that bird flu should be allowed to run rampant in chickens and the infected birds should not be culled. However, this strange idea can trigger another pandemic, a study has warned. Kennedy and Brooke Rollins, Secretary of Agriculture, proposed that letting bird flu "rip" through poultry would help "identify the birds, and preserve the birds, that are immune to it." The H5N1 virus is highly pathogenic and doing so can prove highly dangerous. The research was published in the journal Science on July 3. Kennedy made the spooky suggestion on March 11 while talking to Fox News. Disease X: Can bird flu trigger the next pandemic? The paper has been compiled by a group of virologists, veterinarians and health security experts. The team argues that what Kennedy wants to do could trigger another pandemic in the coming years. They state that if the virus is allowed to run unabated, it could mutate, become stronger and even spill over to humans. This would be the perfect recipe for the next pandemic. Scientists have long raised concerns about Disease X, another pandemic that could take over the world. While there has not been clarity on what it would be, experts argue that bird flu has the makings of a pandemic if it continues to spread and grow.

Live Science quoted first-author Erin Sorrell, a virologist at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, as saying, "Essentially, the longer you allow a virus that has shown to be effective in infecting multiple hosts survive in an environment, the greater the chance you give it to spread, to mutate, and to try its luck at adaptation." She added that in the worst-case scenario, "the virus adapts and expands its host range to become transmissible in humans … Now we have a pandemic."

The Japanese government has announced that it would improve preparedness measures for a future Nankai Trough "megaquake" that could kill up to 300,000 people. Earlier in January 2025, an assessment had raised the chances of a megaquake, an earthquake of magnitude 8, hitting the region within the next 30 years to 75–82 per cent. Then in March, the new national impact estimate noted that such an event, accompanied by a tsunami, could cause widespread devastation, and result in 298,000 deaths and damages worth $2 trillion. The Nankai Trough is a roughly &nbsp;800 km undersea trench and a subduction zone where the Philippine Sea Plate is being pushed beneath Japan. It has been making headlines after Ryo Tatsuki, Japan's Baba Vanga, issued an ominous warning for the region in a 1999 manga comic.

In a shocking incident, a doctor at a private hospital in Assam’s Cachar district allegedly removed the genitals of a 28-year-old man, who had come for treatment of infection, while carrying out his biopsy, without the patient’s consent. The patient had come to the hospital initially with complaints of genital infection, reported NDTV. The man, identified as Atikur Rahman, a resident of Manipur’s Jiribam district, had visited a private hospital in Silchar for treatment of an infection but found after the biopsy that his genitals had been removed without his consent, said the NDTV report. Rahman lodged a police complaint, accusing the doctor of the private hospital of performing unauthorised surgery to remove his genitals during a routine biopsy procedure.&nbsp;<h2>Lodges police complaint against doctor</h2>&nbsp;In the police complaint, he has alleged that a doctor at the private hospital surgically removed his genitals during what was supposed to be a routine biopsy without his consent.The authorities of the hospital were not available for any reaction to the incident, and the doctor who performed the surgery is also missing and not responding to calls or messages, the NDTV report added.&nbsp;In his complaint, Atikur Rahman alleged, “On June 19, I went to a private hospital in Silchar after an infection in my genitals. The doctor advised me to go for a biopsy test. During my biopsy test, they surgically removed my genitals without my consent. When I woke up after the surgery, I found my genitals had been removed. When I asked the doctor, he didn’t give a satisfactory answer.”&nbsp;<h2>Appeals to CM Himanta Biswa Sarma</h2>&nbsp;Rahman has appealed to Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma to intervene promptly and ensure accountability in the alleged unauthorised removal of his genitals.“Now, I am helpless and don’t know what to do.

A warning has been issued that an undersea volcano might erupt in the coming days in the Andaman Sea. Renowned marine ecologist Thon Thamrongnawasawat elaborated in a Facebook post on Thursday about the frequent seismic activity in the region. Concerns have been growing that this could be a sign that a volcano under the ocean is getting ready to explode. There have been earthquakes in Myanmar in recent days. Thon explained that tremors here are unlikely to generate a tsunami, which is caused by undersea earthquakes or volcanic explosions. “Tsunamis in the Gulf of Thailand are highly unlikely, and even if they occur, they would be small and detected well in advance due to the distance from major seismic and volcanic zones like Indonesia and the Philippines,” he wrote.

A volcanic belt lies under the ocean in Andaman and "the only volcanic island in this area is Barren Island, which remains active." He added that "recent tremors have not originated from there, but from further south along the same volcanic belt – one that lies entirely underwater." The tremors have originated from further south. Thon said that it is possible that an underwater volcano in this region might erupt. However, there is no way to tell when that can happen.

NASA astronaut Nichole Ayers captured a sprite from the space station while orbiting above Mexico and the United States. Sprites are a rare atmospheric phenomenon that occurs because of intense electrical activity in the storm clouds. Ayers shared the photo on X, and wrote alongside, “Just. Wow.

&nbsp;<h2>Red sprites and green ghost captured over Himalayas</h2>In 2022, red sprites were captured over the Himalayas. But at that time, no one knew what they were. The red lights were photographed from near a lake site in the southern Tibetan plateau. A study published in the journal Advances in Atmospheric Sciences found that the red wonder that was seen in the Himalayas was linked to thunderstorms. Two astrophotographers near the Pumoyongcuo Lake in Tibet saw the "dancing red sprites" above the Himalayas. They clicked pictures while being scared at the same time as they looked like dancing jellyfish. It won the Skyscapes category of the 2023 Astronomy Photographer of the Year competition.&nbsp;There were not only red sprites but 16 rare secondary jets. A green airglow called "ghosts" at the base of the ionosphere was recorded for the first time in Asia. “Nearly half of these events involved dancing sprites, with an additional 16 uncommon secondary jets and at least four extremely rare green emissions called ‘ghosts’ observed following the associated sprites,” study authors wrote. They found that the sprites were triggered by a "high-peak current" positive cloud-to-ground lightning strikes within a massive convective system that spanned a cloud area of over 200,000sqkm.

NASA astronaut Nichole Ayers captured a sprite from the space station while orbiting above Mexico and the United States. Sprites are a rare atmospheric phenomenon that occurs because of intense electrical activity in the storm clouds. Ayers shared the photo on X, and wrote alongside, “Just. Wow.

Wang Ning, the founder of Pop Mart International Group, has become one of the wealthiest people in China after he sold the Labubu dolls, which created a frenzy in the pop culture. The quirky, scary-looking dolls have made the 38-year-old the 10th richest person in the country, and the youngest on the list. According to the Forbes Real-Time Billionaires List, his net worth has quadrupled from $7.59 billion to $22.7 billion in a year.&nbsp;The Labubu dolls have gained global fame as they became popular across Asia, Europe, and the US, with people spending millions on a single piece. The “ugly-cute” dolls, which were brought to life by Wang Ning’s Pop Mart, a Chinese toy company he founded in 2010, were first created by Hong Kong-based artist Kasing Lung in 2015 in his illustrated book series ‘The Monsters’. The characters with a toothy grin and pointy ears were inspired by Nordic fairy tales.&nbsp;In 2023, the wide-eyed dolls were introduced to the market by Pop Mart and came into the company’s popular “blind box” collections. The format was popular among Gen Z and millennial buyers, who did not know which figure they would get in the box until they opened it.&nbsp;In 2024, the toy gained global popularity with celebrities, including BLACKPINK’s Lisa, Kim Kardashian, Dua Lipa, Rihanna, and Bollywood actor Ananya Panday, being spotted with the doll.&nbsp;Soon, the Labubu dolls evolved and became a major source of revenue for Wang Ning. They are now available in hundreds of designs and colours, ranging in sizes from small keychains to life-sized plush toys.&nbsp;On June 10, a human-sized Labubu figure was sold for 1.08 million yuan ($150,275.51) at a Beijing auction house, setting a new record for the “blind box” toy as it moves from craze to collectable. The event marked the first-ever auction held dedicated to Labubu.

Artificial Intelligence has helped a couple welcome a baby after 18 years of trying to conceive naturally and through IVF. They visited several IVF clinics and underwent treatment, but nothing helped. Artificial fertilisation involves extracting the egg from the woman and sperm from the man and combining the two in the lab. However, in this case, the man was suffering from a condition that did not let his wife get pregnant. Azoospermia happens when there is no measurable sperm present in semen. It is found in about 1 per cent of infertile men. A typical semen sample contains several million sperm. But, in this man's case, doctors could not find even a single sperm. This became a problem in IVF as there was no semen to mix with the egg. After waiting for 18 years, they decided to give a shot to a new method of fertilisation.

Shubhanshu Shukla on Thursday (Jul 3) interacted with students from Lucknow and Kerala via a video conference from the International Space Station. Shukla is India’s first astronaut to reach space in 40 years and the first Indian to pilot a private mission to the orbital lab. The student interaction comes a week after the Axiom-4 Mission reached the ISS on June 26. Shukla appeared live on the screen as he answered questions from the excited student.&nbsp;Students bombarded Group Captain Shukla with several questions about life in space: from what astronauts eat and sleep to what happens if someone falls sick in space, and how their bodies adjust. Shukla enthusiastically answered all questions in detail and also shared the benefits of space missions. On fitness, he said, “We stay fit with yoga and regular exercise.” When asked by a student about the view of Earth from space, he responded by saying, “Seeing India from space was an emotional moment.”&nbsp;The interactive session was held in Shukla’s hometown, Lucknow, at the CMS Auditorium and at the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre in Kerala’s Thiruvananthapuram. Hundreds of students participated in the video conferencing. Shukla, who is part of the Axiom Mission 4, described the launch from the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida as “amazing” and “dynamic”.&nbsp;Describing sleeping arrangements in space, Shukla said, “It is fun actually because in space there is no floor and no ceiling. So if you were to come and visit the station (ISS), you would find someone sleeping on the walls, someone on the ceiling.” He added, “It is so easy to float up and tie yourself to the ceiling. The challenge is to be found at the same place where you slept at night and to ensure that we tie our sleeping bags to ensure we don’t float away to some other place.”&nbsp;Last week, Prime Minister Narendra Modi also interacted with Shubhanshu Shukla via video conferencing. On Wednesday, he completed a week aboard the ISS. He is expected to remain in space for up to 14 days in total and conduct experiments in microgravity.

The British F-35 fighter jet that made an emergency landing at the Thiruvananthapuram airport in Kerala on June 14 has been grounded since then. Several attempts by the engineers of the aircraft to repair the hydraulic problem due to which the jet is stranded has failed. And now, the jet is to be partially dismantled and airlifted back to the United Kingdom in a military cargo aircraft. But how will the dismantling happen? Here are a few steps that are likely to be undertaken. The jet is likely to be dismantled in a way that it fits into the C-17 Globemaster, a large military transport aircraft developed for the United States Air Force. Highly trained engineers by aerospace and defence firm Lockheed Martin can do it. Notably, F-35B is a short take-off and vertical landing (STOVL) variant of the Lockheed Martin-built fifth-generation aircraft. While all this happens the British military will be on the spot monitoring the development. The F-35 is about 14 metres long, with a wingspan of around 11 metres, therefore there could be the requirement of dismantling the wings as the width of the Globemaster is just 4 metres, while the length is adequate - 26 metres - reported India Today. But this is not as easy as it sounds. Detaching the wings of this advanced jet could be complex and may require a couple of days. While all the dismantling happens, every move has to be logged and verified to minimise the risk of data breach. The Globemaster has a carrying capacity of around 77 tonnes. Two F-35s can be carried after dismantling them. How did the jet get stranded Operating from the United Kingdom’s aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales on June 14, the fighter jet was conducting a routine flying outside India’s Air Defence Identification Zone (ADIZ) when it was diverted to Thiruvananthapuram, the designated emergency recovery airfield for the aircraft. Initially, the fighter jet was facing a problem of low fuel and the Indian Air Force provided all necessary help. But after it was readying for departure that the jet experienced problem with its hydraulics and therefore could not take off, said air force officials. This is the first time that the US-made fighter jet is stranded in a foreign country due to technical issues.

Burger King Japan has unleashed its new 1,876-calorie ‘Baby Body’ burger. &nbsp;Burger King Japan, in collaboration with the Japan Sumo Association, has launched this monster burger. Burger King Japan have positioned the product among ‘Yokozuna-class,’ which is the highest ranking in Sumo wrestling.This beefy behemoth is set to hit the Burger King outlets across Japan on July 11. With 5 flame-grilled beef patties, 4 slices of cheddar cheese, 4 smoky bacon strips, fresh lettuce, tomato, pickles and sauced up with aurora sauce, mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard, it's worthy of a simile to the dohyo (sumo ring).

The 14th Dalai Lama was only 23 years old when he fled Tibet and sought refuge in India. This happened in the face of the Tibetan uprising in 1959, which was followed by the Chinese invasion of Lhasa, the Tibetan capital. Born Tenzin Gyatso, the Dalai Lama has led the Tibetan government in exile ever since fleeing to India. At one point, he was confused about whether to stay and negotiate with China or flee. A prophecy by an Oracle ultimately led him to decide to flee his country, as he feared detention and death. After Chinese soldiers surrounded Lhasa, he made a daring escape, walking through the Himalayas with family members and ministers of the government. They reached India on March 31, 1959, and soon after, he was granted political asylum by Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.&nbsp;<h2>What is the problem between the Dalai Lama and China?</h2>&nbsp;China claims sovereignty over Tibet, asserting that its ties date back centuries.

Japan's meteorological agency on Thursday put the rumours of an earthquake to rest by saying that it was all unscientific and a "hoax".Japan Meteorological Agency's Earthquake and Tsunami Observations Division said that it is impossible to predict the exact time, location or magnitude of an earthquake. Notably, the prediction of Ryo Tatsuki's Manga comic that “a crack will open up under the seabed between Japan and the Philippines” was gaining absurd mileage. It became more significant following scientists' predictions of tremors near the Tokoro Islands between Japan and the Philippines."Such spreading rumour is a hoax," said Ayataka Ebita Director of Earthquake and Tsunami Division of Japan Meteorological Agency. However, more than 900 earthquakes have shaken a remote island chain in southern Japan in the past two weeks. Though no major damage has been reported.“Seismic activity has been very active in the seas around the Tokara island chain since June 21,” said Ebita.&nbsp;The rumours in Hong Kong and other Asian cities of a major earthquake and a Tsunami in July have led to flight cancellations and reductions in service, affecting tourism.The rumours originated from Ryo Tatsuki's Japanese comic book “The future I saw.” It depicts a dream featuring a Tsunami. The rumours engulfed Hong Kong quickly. In June, Ryoichi Nomura Director General of Japan Meteorological Agency held a press conference to deny the rumour himself. He said that it is "unfortunate" that many people are affected by the disinformation, though he sympathised with the sense of unease that the people tend to develop toward something invisible. &nbsp;&nbsp;

The Meteorological Agency of Japan dismissed viral earthquake and tsunami predictions from a manga comic as a hoax, urging the public to ignore unscientific rumours. The speculation, fueled by seismic activity near the Tokara Islands, has caused tourism disruption across Japan.
