Greta Thunberg Gaza aid ship arrest Swedish activist controversies all you need to know Israel Hamas Freedom Flotilla

Greta Thunberg was detained on Monday (June 9) by Israeli authorities while on her way to deliver aid to Gaza on a ship. The Swedish activist claimed she was kidnapped, while reports said the flotilla was towed towards Israel. The ship sailed towards Gaza to protest Israel’s blockade of Gaza. Israeli authorities called her and her supporters 'Hamas propaganda spokespeople.' Thunberg, who became famous for her Friday school-bunking protests to drive awareness on the climate crisis, is controversy's child. She has hogged the limelight over various protests, mainly on climate, but has been a polarising figure, drawing equal amounts of admiration and scorn. She was at the centre of controversy in India for sharing a 'tool kit' on disruptive activism. Here is a look at the most controversial moments in the life of Greta Thunberg. School strike for climate justice Grata was aged 15 when she started skipping school to protest outside the Swedish parliament in 2018. In her one-person protest for several days, she held a placard 'School Strike for Climate', leading to a global youth movement called 'Fridays for Future'. As many of these protests involved students bunking classes to hold climate justice protests, many criticised it as an excuse to skip classes. Global Climate Strikes and famous UN Climate Summit speech : 'How dare you' In subsequent years, Greta led climate justice protests in more than 160 countries. In 2019, she arrived at the UN Climate Action Summit in New York in a yacht to avoid flying, and made a speech. Her speech at the summit became famous for the 'how dare you' remark. “You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words… How dare you!,” she asked global leaders who she accused of failing to act on climate crisis. Blah blah blah speech At a protest during climate summit of COP26 in Glasgow in 2021, Thunberg made another speech slamming world leaders. Her famous words were: “Build back better. Blah, blah, blah. Green economy. Blah, blah, blah. Net zero by 2050. Blah, blah, blah.” ‘Against the Wall’ remark Thunberg said in 2019 that world leaders should be put "against the wall," which was seen as an incitement to violence. She later apologised and said it was from a Swedish expression, asking for holding leaders accountable. India toolkit controversy In 2021, Greta shared an activist ‘toolkit’ to support the then ongoing farmers' protest against the Indian governemnt's agri reform laws. She later deleted the post, which caused a political furore in India over alleged foreign interference in its internal affairs, and related conspiracy theories. Deutsche Bahn train Incident Greta shared a picture of herself on the floor, appearing to show how trains are overcrowded in Germany. But rail authorities said she had been offered a first-class seat. Greta later said she got the seat after a four-hour wait. 'Staged arrest' in German coal mine protest Greta was held in Lützerath, Germany, while protesting against a coal mine expansion in 2023. She was accused of staging her arrest and being a crisis actor, though it was later confirmed that the arrest was indeed real. Pro-Palestinian activism In 2024, German authorities blocked Greta from addressing a pro-Palestinian student rally, calling her 'prone to violence', citing that her supporters attacked officers. When she invited Afghan and Palestinian women to speak at a climate protest in 2023 in Amsterdam, a man interrupted her, asking her not to bring political issues into a climate justice protest. She said, 'no climate justice on occupied land'. Named the youngest Time Person of the Year in 2019 at the age of 16, Greta is no friend of US President Donald Trump, who once tweeted that the activist should work on her "Anger Management problem." She has been nominated for Nobel Peace Prize several times.

If you are a resident of the United States and thinking about what to name your baby, you might have to limit your options. There are a few names you can't use for your child, as they are banned in America. However, these restrictions can vary from state to state. In California, names listed on birth certificates can only contain the 26 letters in the English alphabet, leaving out letters with accents (è, á), tildes (ñ, ã) and umlauts (ö, ü). According to US Birth Certificates, there are a few other names that certain jurisdictions around the US that it considers illegal to use on birth certificates. The US Birth Certificates is a privately owned website, with an aim to obtain birth certificates for applicants.

Ayahuasca, a drug widely taken by the Amazonian tribes in South America, is being marketed to tourists. An American recently died after taking it as a herbal tea. 

An American man died in Peru after consuming a hallucinogenic herbal tea as part of a shamanic ritual. Aaron Wayne Castranova participated in a spiritual retreat in the Amazon and took a brew known as ayahuasca, after which he suffered from a multi-organ reaction in his body, and passed away in Loreto, a region on the border with Brazil. Ayahuasca is the same drug that Prince Harry once admitted to having used to cope with the loss of his mother, Princess Diana, according to Mail Online. It is a widely popular drug in the region, and tourists routinely seek it to treat depression and other mental troubles. The indigenous community of Santa Maria de Ojeda is said to have been involved with the retreat that took place at a hostel called La Casa de Guillermo ICONA. The hostel's managers stressed that Castranova did not tell the organisers that he was on antibiotics.

Ayahuasca is used for spiritual and medicinal purposes in the Amazon Ayahuasca is commonly used by Indigenous cultures in the Amazon. Also known as yage, it is used for spiritual and medicinal purposes among the Amazonian tribes in South America. The concoction is made and offered in spiritual and healing rituals. It has become a major drawing point in the Peruvian Amazon for tourists looking to heal their mental health. It is made from the bark of a vine and the leaves of a bush found in the Amazon that contains a hallucinogenic called N-N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT).

It is done under the supervision of a guide or shaman. Prince Harry stated that the drug "brought me a sense of relaxation, release, comfort, a lightness that I managed to hold on to for a period of time". Ayahuasca can affect heart and breathing However, Lopez warns that the drug can lead to death, and in some cases, "permanent, irreversible damage." It can also damage the heart. Data suggests that severe mental health problems among tourists lead them to take the psychedelic drug. Since the drug is easily available in the region and used by the Amazonian tribes in South America, tourists have easy access to it. But the US Embassy in Peru warns Americans against using any kind of hallucinogenics. The website says that locals market these "dangerous substances" to travellers in Peru as "ceremonial or spiritual cleansers." "Ayahuasca is a psychoactive substance containing dimethyltryptamine (DMT), a strong hallucinogen that is illegal in the United States and many other countries." Last year, a British mother of three also died after consuming an ayahuasca concoction at a Bolivian "wellness and detox" retreat. She reportedly collapsed ten minutes after drinking the ayahuasca as her breathing and heart rate dropped.

<p>In the video, Harry can be seen pressing play on the baby mama hit by Starrkeisha, dancing to the song. Meanwhile, Meghan starts to twerk before the couple moves into a rhythm together and gyrate around the room.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>‘AI Video’ claims the Internet</h2><p>Several critics on X claimed that Meghan’s video could not be from her time in the labour room. Some said her bump was too high and wrongly shaped to be real.<br>&nbsp;</p><p>Other people alleged Meghan's ability to dance at more than 40 weeks pregnant meant she was a "superhuman" or her pregnancy was a sham.<br>&nbsp;</p><p>“This is crazy. I do not for one second believe this video is real. Who the heck dances like that when readying to labour? No one," one pointed out.<br>&nbsp;</p><p>"The bump is mishapen and she still doesn't look pregnant. Overloading lies. AI video."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Another person questioned why Meghan was not linked to an IV drip to receive medication nor wearing a hospital gown.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"She's not in a hospital gown, not hooked up to a baby monitor," they said.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"They wouldn't have started an IV on her when she was still in her street clothes and wouldn't have unhooked it so she could dance."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A person who claimed to be a nurse echoed the sentiment and said Prince Harry's wife would have had a cannula in her hand in labour.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Meghan shares unseen photos of Lilibet</h2><p>Meghan shared a few previously unseen photos of Lilibet to mark the special day. Lilibet is seventh in line to the British throne.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In one photo, Harry held baby Lilibet wrapped in a blanket, while a second photo showed the barefoot father and daughter duo holding hands.<br>&nbsp;</p><p>In the caption, Meghan said her husband and daughter have the "sweetest bond to watch unfold."<br>&nbsp;</p><p>"Daddy’s little girl and favourite adventurer, Happy birthday, Lili!" she said.</p>

Gateway to Hell: Darvaza gas crater, burning since 1970s, is partially contained now. Know about its story

Some time in the 1970s Russian scientists ignited an underground pocket of natural gas in Turkmenistan. It burned on ever since, becoming known as Gateway to Hell or Door to Hell, and becoming a tourist attraction in the reclusive central asian nation. On Thursday (Jun 5), the government said that the fire in the Darvaza gas crater has been partially contained. The fire that burned for half a century in the Karakum desert since 1971 and has been emitting methane gas in large quantities ever since, is now reduced three-fold, according to a government official. "Whereas before a huge glow from the blaze was visible from several kilometres away, hence the name 'Gateway to Hell', today only a faint source of combustion remains," AFP news agency quoted Irina Luryeva, a director at state-owned energy company Turkmengaz, as saying. As methane emissions add to climate crisis, several wells were drilled around the crater to capture methane. Turkmenistan, home to the world's fourth-largest gas reserves, is also its biggest emitter of methane through gas leaks, though the government denies this claim. The story of Darvaza gas crater The Darvaza gas crater is one of a few natural gas reserves that continue to burn after being ignited, the other famous one being Baba Gurgur in Iraq. In official parlance, it is called 'the Shining of Karakum'. The floor of the crater is lit by hundreds of natural gas fires. The crater is 260 kilometres from the Turkmen capital of Ashgabat, located in the village of Darvaza in the middle of the Karakum Desert. The crater, having a diameter of 60–70 metres and a depth of about 30 metres, emits a foul smell. Its history is mired in dispute and controversy, with some claiming that it collapsed in the 1960s. Some accounts claim that the gas fire was a result of an accident in 1971, when Soviet engineers drilled the site which then collapsed. They ignited the crater to prevent the emission of poisonous gases. Gateway to Hell, the tourist attraction In spite of the bad odour, the crater remains a tourist attraction, particularly famed for the night trips to see the fire burn in all its glory. Since being declared as a natural reserve in 2013, thousands of tourists have flocked to the area. George Kourounis, who entered the bottom of the crater to collect soil samples in the first such effort, called it 'a coliseum of fire.' "Just everywhere you look it's thousands of these small fires. The sound was like that of a jet engine, this roaring, high-pressure, gas-burning sound. And there was no smoke. It burns very cleanly, so there's nothing to obscure your view. You can just see every little lick of flame," he told National Georgraphic Channel, which sponsored the feat. The crater was also the spot where President Berdimuhamedow famously appeared in order to dispel speculations about his death. Captured on state TV, he did doughnut stunts in the area. Efforts to contain the fire at Darvaza For decades, the Turkmen government has been trying to contain the fire. In 2022, President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow announced plans to extinguish the crater as it was causing health issues for locals and causing environmental damage. The drilling of wells around the capture has been happening for years, with the aim to capture methane.

Shortwave can go where satellites can’t, and it’s immune to hacking.”</p><p>said Professor of Electronics and Radio Systems Dr. David Stupples, City University London. During the Cold War, Soviet Spies were instructed via short-wave radio. They were "Numbers stations” that were transmitting encrypted numbers to the spies across the globe.</p><p>To ordinary people, these are meaningless noise to the ear, because they have no clear public meaning. The exact purpose of the broadcast remains classified. Started operating in 1997 during the fall of Soviet Russia, for three and a half decades, the monotonous buzz of UBV-76 had been around regularly and irregularly. Occasionally unavailable for longer periods. Because of its transmission, which is broken, humming, followed by unintelligible words and bursts of cryptic numbers, it has come to be known as the infamous ‘Buzzer’.</p><p>“It may be part of a strategic communications grid, like a heartbeat signal. If it stops or changes, it could trigger military protocols,” said Pavel Podvig, a researcher at the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research on nuclear forces.&nbsp;</p><p>There are online communities, Discord servers, Reddit threads, and YouTube live streams dedicated to tracking transmission from the Buzzer. A group of collective shortwave listeners at Priyam.org detected the 2025 transmission quickly.&nbsp;</p><p>According to the Russian Journal of Earth Sciences, an observatory is measuring changes in the ionosphere, which is operating at the frequency of 4625 kHz.&nbsp;</p><p>There is another theory that posits these transmissions are military communications.&nbsp;</p><p>According to a report by the BBC, it is headquartered near St Petersburg, 876H+F53 Kerro, Leningrad Oblast, Russia, in the station "MDZhB”, which no one has claimed ownership of. The report from the BBC speculates that it is connected to a Perimeter automatic nuclear retaliatory "dead man's switch" system, ensuring a retaliatory response in case of a decapitation strike.</p><p>"There’s absolutely no information in the signal," said David Stupples, Professor of Electronics and Radio Systems, City University London.</p><p>However, some people claim that it is another psyops mission by Russia's deep state, following the setback faced by the Ukrainian drone strike.
