But are laying emphasis on the repetition, which could possibly be Trump’s favourite figure of speech. He uses repetitive phrases in his comments, which could be for better poetic effect. And that brings us to how many time he has mentioned the the cross-border fighting between India and Pakistan. Yes, the same 4-day conflict that Trump claims to have stopped, it has gone past 90 times, and still counting.

He won a bronze medal on Tuesday in the men's 20km Individual race in the Winter Olympics in Milan Cortina. Now the girl has responded to his declaration, and she isn't happy. After coming third in the event, Lægreid told Norwegian state broadcaster NRK that he cheated on his girlfriend of six months three months ago. "Three months ago, I made my biggest mistake and cheated on her. I told her about it a week ago. It's ‌been the worst week of my life." Laegreid added that "he had a gold medal" up until last week, but lost it by being unfaithful. The girl in question has now spoken to Norwegian newspaper VG, and said, "Even after a declaration of love in front of the whole world, it's hard to forgive. I did not choose to be put in this position, and it hurts to have to be in it. We have had contact, and he is aware of my opinions on this."&nbsp;The girl thanked her family and friends for standing with her and supporting her during this time. "Also to everyone else who has thought of me and sympathised, without knowing who I am," she added. The outlet contacted Lægreid about her comments. He did not want to respond initially, but later apologised for using a joyous occasion for something thins personal. "I deeply regret that I brought up this personal story on what was a joyous day for Norwegian biathlon. I am not quite myself today, and I am not thinking clearly," he said. During the interview, Lægreid said, "I had a gold medal in my life... I only have eyes for her. I don't know what I want to achieve by saying this... I wish I could share it with her."&nbsp;&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/winter-olympics-norwegian-athlete-sturla-holm-laegreid-confesses-cheating-girlfriend-internet-reacts-1770789230487">Romantic or weird?

I hope I don’t make it worse for her." He went on to say, "She's probably still processing last week's message, but I hope there's light at the end of the tunnel for both of us. And that she can still love me." The athlete refused to reveal the identity of the girl.&nbsp;Meanwhile, his confession on such a platform amused netizens, who could not believe what he was saying. Several people stated that he should not have said it at the Olympics, and that it was "embarrassing."

In a bizarre twist of events, a woman from the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh went missing from her home in Auraiya. This case took a surreal turn when her family found a snake skin on her bed, along with her clothes. Connecting the dots, the family prematurely concluded it to be a case of metamorphosis. Indian soaps with ‘naagins’ (cobra) as the lead character could have possibly been the source of this imaginative plot. Human-to-serpent transformations are not a rarity on these shows.&nbsp;&nbsp;But as the matter was brought to the police, an investigation was ordered. During the probe, authorities found that 24-year-old Reena had eloped with her lover, who is a resident of the same village. The couple reportedly eloped on the intervening night of Sunday and Monday, while the planning had been on for much longer.&nbsp;&nbsp;The case seemed twisted at first as Reena left behind a misleading trail of planted evidence, which led her family to believe she had transformed. Reports suggest she had been planning this for about three months and had been making claims that she saw snakes in her dreams. This may have tricked her family and neighbours into believing the story she loosely sketched.&nbsp;<h2>Investigation and big revelations</h2>&nbsp;The police traced the 24-year-old from her mobile, which led to her lover, who had also gone missing the same night. Reena is the youngest among six siblings and was to be married soon, as her family had looked for a match. Unwilling to go ahead with her family’s choice, she may have considered this her safest alibi.&nbsp;Along with the snake skin, Reena had also kept bangles and rings, and was carrying an idol of the serpent god she had recently brought from the Sheshnag temple in Mainpuri.

A 24-year-old woman named Reena from Auraiya, Uttar Pradesh, staged a bizarre 'Naagin' transformation, leaving a 5-foot snake skin on her bed, to elope with her lover and avoid an arranged marriage.

The North Anatolian Fault (NAF) beneath the Marmara Sea near Istanbul, Turkey, hasn't had a major quake in more than 250 years. Stress is building right underneath it, while surrounding sections have ruptured towards the west, triggering devastating earthquakes. Researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo used electromagnetic "x-rays" and were able to map the "invisible" structure of this fault. The 3D model reveals high-stress zones where tectonic plates are physically jammed together. The study was published in the journal Geology. Many scientists believe this section under the Marmara Sea is most likely the site of the next major earthquake. Istanbul is merely miles away, and sits in the eye of the storm. This map is a race against time to predict exactly where the crust will finally snap. For years, scientists have tried to create a detailed structure of the fault below the Marmara Sea. In the absence of a clear picture, the ability to accurately identify where future earthquakes might begin has remained limited.<h2>3D map of the North Anatolian Fault’s resistivity</h2>Dr. Yasuo Ogawa, Professor Emeritus and Research Fellow at the Multidisciplinary Resilience Research Center, Institute of Integrated Research and Dr. Tülay Kaya-Eken, Assistant Professor at Boğaziçi University, Türkiye, investigated the section under the Marmara Sea to remove the gap in knowledge. Together they were able to create the first full three-dimensional (3D) model of this crucial subsurface area. Using magnetotellurics—a technique that measures subtle changes in Earth’s electric and magnetic fields—they built the first 3D map of the North Anatolian Fault’s "resistivity." They identified areas where the rock is rigid (high resistivity) and where it is weakened by fluids (low resistivity). This helped them locate "locked" zones where immense stress has built up. These boundaries are likely where the next major rupture will begin, providing a new blueprint for disaster mitigation in Turkey.Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/major-catastrophe-unfolding-in-antarctica-as-hundreds-of-earthquakes-slam-doomsday-glacier-1767680441864">Major catastrophe unfolding in Antarctica as hundreds of earthquakes slam Doomsday Glacier</a>Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/120km-wide-tsunami-wave-triggered-by-kamchatka-earthquake-captured-by-nasa-from-space-1766638468766">NASA captures 120km-wide tsunami wave triggered by Kamchatka earthquake from space</a><h2>Identifying location of future megathrust earthquakes</h2>“We believe the resistive anomalies observed signify regions of stress accumulation, shedding light on the ongoing processes of fault mechanics at play in this critical region,” Ogawa said.

Ogama added, "Our results can be used to estimate the location and potential magnitude of future megathrust earthquakes, with significant implications for disaster prevention and mitigation."

Turkey could be on the verge of a devastating earthquake triggered by a fault line that remained invisible for the longest time. A study has found that this region has been building stress for centuries, and when it is released, Turkey might bear the brunt.

Bangladesh elections 2026: As Bangladesh heads toward parliamentary elections on February 12, an unusual candidacy has begun drawing attention across the country. Krishna Nandi, a veteran Hindu businessman from Khulna, is contesting from the Khulna-1 constituency on a Jamaat-e-Islami ticket, a political pairing that has sparked debate in a deeply polarised electoral season.

Instagram chief Adam Mosseri is to be called to testify Wednesday in a Los Angeles courtroom by lawyers out to prove social media is dangerously addictive by design to young, vulnerable minds.YouTube and Meta -- the parent company of Instagram and Facebook -- are defendants in a blockbuster trial that could set a legal precedent regarding whether social media giants deliberately designed their platforms to be addictive to children.Rival lawyers made opening remarks to jurors this week, with an attorney for YouTube insisting that the Google-owned video platform was neither intentionally addictive nor technically social media."It's not social media addiction when it's not social media, and it's not addiction," YouTube lawyer Luis Li told the 12 jurors during his opening remarks.The civil trial in California state court centres on allegations that a 20-year-old woman, identified as Kaley G.M., suffered severe mental harm after becoming addicted to social media as a child.She started using YouTube at six and joined Instagram at 11, before moving on to Snapchat and TikTok two or three years later.The plaintiff "is not addicted to YouTube. You can listen to her own words -- she said so, her doctor said so, her father said so," Li said, citing evidence he said would be detailed at trial.Li's opening arguments followed remarks on Monday from lawyers for the plaintiffs and co-defendant Meta.On Monday, the plaintiffs' attorney Mark Lanier told the jury that YouTube and Meta both engineer addiction in young people's brains to gain users and profits."This case is about two of the richest corporations in history who have engineered addiction in children's brains," Lanier said."They don't only build apps; they build traps."But Li told the six men and six women on the jury that he did not recognise the description of YouTube put forth by the other side and tried to draw a clear line between YouTube's widely popular video app and social media platforms like Instagram or TikTok.YouTube is selling "the ability to watch something essentially for free on your computer, on your phone, on your iPad," Li insisted, comparing the service to Netflix or traditional TV.Li said it was the quality of content that kept users coming back, citing internal company emails that he said showed executives rejecting a pursuit of internet virality in favour of educational and more socially useful content.<h2>‘Gateway drug’</h2>Stanford University School of Medicine professor Anna Lembke, the first witness called by the plaintiffs, testified that she views social media, broadly speaking, as a drug.The part of the brain that acts as a brake when it comes to having another hit is not typically developed before a person is 25 years old, Lembke, the author of the book "Dopamine Nation," told jurors."Which is why teenagers will often take risks that they shouldn't and not appreciate future consequences," Lembke testified."And typically, the gateway drug is the most easily accessible drug," she said, describing Kaley's first use of YouTube at the age of six.The case is being treated as a bellwether proceeding whose outcome could set the tone for a wave of similar litigation across the United States.Social media firms face hundreds of lawsuits accusing them of leading young users to become addicted to content and suffer from depression, eating disorders, psychiatric hospitalisation, and even suicide.Lawyers for the plaintiffs are borrowing strategies used in the 1990s and 2000s against the tobacco industry, which faced a similar onslaught of lawsuits arguing that companies knowingly sold a harmful product.Disclaimer: This story has been published from a news agency feed with minimal edits to adhere to WION's style guide.

The case is being treated as a bellwether proceeding whose outcome could set the tone for a wave of similar litigation across the United States. Social media firms face hundreds of lawsuits accusing them of leading young users to become addicted to content and suffer from depression, eating disorders, psychiatric hospitalisation, and even suicide. Lawyers for the plaintiffs are borrowing strategies used in the 1990s and 2000s against the tobacco industry, which faced a similar onslaught of lawsuits arguing that companies knowingly sold a harmful product.

Radioactive domestic pigs and wild boar are interbreeding near the Fukushima nuclear plant disaster, creating nuclear hogs. They are not glowing monsters; they are biological time machines. Scientists have found that after the 2011 tsunami triggered an evacuation around the plant, domestic pigs started mating with the Japanese wild boar, and the resulting hybrids are "fast-forwarding" evolution. In 2011, a magnitude earthquake shook the Fukushima region in Japan. The massive temblor and the tsunami damaged the nuclear power plant, triggering an immediate evacuation. Nearly 164,000 residents were forced to leave their homes within hours. They left behind domesticated animals like pigs who started mating with feral boars. The hybrid offspring are roaming the area today and are “ghost hogs” who are living proof of how a world left behind by humans led to evolution happening in “fast-forward”, a living simulation of how life reclaims a post-human world at five times the normal speed. Their findings were published in the Journal of Forest Research.&nbsp;Shingo Kaneko of Fukushima University partnered with Hirosaki University geneticist Donovan Anderson to understand how domestic pig genetics have influenced the successive generations of hybrid boars. They tracked the "Nuclear Hogs" of Fukushima and found something amazing happening with them. The interbreeding formed a temporal shortcut. While a wild boar breeds once a year, the domestic pig is "polyestrous," meaning they can breed all year round. When the two combined, the "maternal clock" of the domestic pig took over. Because the hybrid offspring inherited the domestic mother’s ability to breed year-round, the population accelerated at an unprecedented speed. In the time it would take a normal boar population to go through three generations, the Fukushima hybrids have gone through nearly ten.Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/no-superpowers-yet-something-is-thriving-in-fukushima-s-radioactive-water-how-1770122053685">No superpowers, yet something is thriving in Fukushima's radioactive water.

People across India are likely to experience widespread disruption in multiple services on February 12, 2026, as central trade unions and farmers’ organisations have called for a nationwide strike, known as Bharat Bandh. On this day, public sector banks, government offices, markets and transport services in several states are likely to be affected. In addition, some schools and colleges in protest-hit areas may also remain closed depending on local conditions.<h3>Why has Bharat Bandh been called?</h3>A coalition of 10 central trade unions, including INTUC, AITUC, HMS, CITU, AIUTUC, TUCC, SEWA, AICCTU, LPF and UTUC, has called for the strike. The unions are protesting the four labour codes that replaced 29 existing labour laws last year, arguing that the new framework undermines workers’ rights, weakens job security, and gives employers greater freedom to hire and dismiss employees. They have also flagged concerns related to privatisation, wages, and inadequate social security provisions.<h3>What services will be affected during Bharat Bandh?</h3>Public sector bank branches are expected to be disrupted, as bank employees and officers have announced their participation in the strike. Major unions, including the All India Bank Employees Association (AIBEA), AIBOA and BEFI, have appealed to their members to join the protest. The State Bank of India confirmed on Tuesday that a nationwide bank strike has been scheduled for February 12, 2026, cautioning customers that banking services may be partially affected.&nbsp;Public transport in some areas could also face disruptions due to demonstrations and possible road blockades or “chakka jam.” Markets and shops in protest-hit regions may remain shut, while government offices in several states could witness reduced attendance or temporary closures, depending on the level of staff participation.<h3>What will remain open during Bharat Bandh?</h3>On February 12, 2026, emergency services such as hospitals and ambulances are likely to remain active normally. Additionally, airports and other essential utilities are also expected to be operational; however, travellers are expected to leave their places early to travel in case of traffic disruptions.&nbsp;There has also been no announcement of a nationwide shutdown of schools and colleges.

Norwegian Olympian Sturla Holm Laegreid confessed to cheating on his girlfriend on live tv at the Winter Olympics. Laegreid won a bronze medal after coming in third place in the biathlon, a sport which combines cross-country skiing and rifle shooting. While giving an interview, Laegreid broke down in tears as he made the admission. Reportedly, Laegreid had decided to come clean if he won a medal. After he won the bronze, he did it on live television. Speaking to Norwegian state broadcaster NRK, the athlete said in his native language, "There's someone I wanted to share it with who might not be watching today. Six months ago, I met the ​love of my life - the most beautiful and kindest ​person in the world." He added, "Three months ago, I made my biggest mistake and cheated on her. I told her about it a week ago. It's ‌been the worst week of my life." Laegreid went on to say that "he had a gold medal" up until last week, but lost it by being unfaithful. &nbsp;<h2>Video of athlete confessing to cheating</h2>

Jeffrey Epstein hooked up Kimbal Musk, Elon Musk's brother, with a woman, who reportedly "dated" for six months, according to the latest documents released by the Department of Justice. Kimbal is on the board of directors at Tesla. He was involved with the woman for around six months between 2012 and 2013. Epstein arranged the woman together with his longtime associate Boris Nikolic. They set up their meeting, getting the woman to a birthday party Musk was throwing. Emails show that Nikolic told Epstein, "please prepare [the woman] —;)". After Musk got together with the woman, he sent a thank-you email to Epstein and Nikolic. “Jeffrey and Boris, many thanks for connecting me with [the woman]. “I believe you both played a role. :)" Just before sending the email, he is believed to have had lunch at Epstein’s Manhattan apartment. While she was with Kimbal, the woman also sought help from Epstein on pursuing her relationship with the junior Musk. However, the documents do not show whether Kimbal knew about their backend interaction.<h2>Kimbal Musk posts message on his relation with Epstein</h2>Kimbal released a detailed message about the woman and their relationship on X, saying Epstein did not introduce them. He wrote, "This post is related to the Epstein Files and why my name is in them. In 2012, I started dating a woman who was 30 years old. I met her through a friend. Epstein did not introduce us." He added, "My only meeting with that demon was in his New York office during the day. I never met with him again, and I never went to his island." Referring to the many emails from him mentioned in papers, Kimbal wrote, “The reason he has so many emails from me is that he was subscribed to a newsletter I sent out to thousands of people every few weeks. My heart goes out to the many victims of Jeffrey Epstein, as it does for all who have suffered any kind of sexual abuse or harassment." However, the files show that Kimbal Musk exchanged numerous emails with Epstein and Nikolic in late 2012 and early 2013. He invited the paedophile to his birthday party and a SpaceX launch. There is also a mention of coordinating Halloween costumes.Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/redacted-epstein-files-show-his-youngest-victim-was-just-9-names-senior-foreign-official-1770692812933">Redacted Epstein Files show his youngest victim was just 9, names a ‘senior foreign official’</a><h2>Woman's full name present in the Epstein Files</h2>The woman in the said relationship with Kimbal has accused Epstein in recent years of "trapping, coercing and abusing" her. &nbsp;She has neither shared her story nor spoken about her relationship with Musk.

He wrote, "This post is related to the Epstein Files and why my name is in them. In 2012, I started dating a woman who was 30 years old. I met her through a friend. Epstein did not introduce us." He added, "My only meeting with that demon was in his New York office during the day. I never met with him again, and I never went to his island." Referring to the many emails from him mentioned in papers, Kimbal wrote, “The reason he has so many emails from me is that he was subscribed to a newsletter I sent out to thousands of people every few weeks. My heart goes out to the many victims of Jeffrey Epstein, as it does for all who have suffered any kind of sexual abuse or harassment." However, the files show that Kimbal Musk exchanged numerous emails with Epstein and Nikolic in late 2012 and early 2013. He invited the paedophile to his birthday party and a SpaceX launch. There is also a mention of coordinating Halloween costumes.

She has neither shared her story nor spoken about her relationship with Musk. The files carry her full name, which matches mentions in other emails. An itinerary of her travels with Musk that Epstein retained is also part of the files. Meanwhile, Nikolic, named as a backup executor of Epstein’s estate, has not been accused of any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein.

Jeffrey Epstein and Elon Musk's brother, Kimbal Musk, exchanged many emails, one of which was about a woman. According to the emails, Epstein set up Kimbal with a 30-year-old woman, for which he thanked him as well.

Instead, he said, it was “a feature of religion and totalitarianism.”Kennedy, long known for his scepticism toward vaccines, has continued pushing controversial changes since taking charge of the Department of Health and Human Services. Those moves include withdrawing federal recommendations on COVID-19 vaccinations for pregnant women and healthy children, and reshaping advisory bodies at the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention.He also intensified criticism of ultra-processed foods, calling the issue "spiritual warfare" and warning that "we're going to lose our country” if the issue wasn't addressed.

On Sunday (Feb 8), a video of Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA) workers vandalising builder Sushil Raheja’s office in Mumbai’s Chembur was circulating online. The video went viral as the builder allegedly assaulted an employee working with his firm over a trivial matter, reported news outlet Prabuddh Bharat, but what caught netizens' attention was the sturdy glass door, which withstood multiple blows by a woman trying to smash it with what looked like a hockey stick. The sports equipment was used at the wrong place for sure; it did not do as much damage. Now, the curiosity is about the marker on the glass. No crack, no damage; with the intensity of the blow, anybody would have expected it to come crashing down.<h2>&nbsp;Who manufactured the glass door?</h2>&nbsp;The visual distracted the people from the vandalism, and the discussion drifted from there to the quality of the glass. People are enquiring which company has made this glass. Social media users are speculating that Saint-Gobain could have manufactured the toughened glass, but no official confirmation has been provided by Raheja's office on this as yet.&nbsp;<h3>WATCH VIDEO HERE:&nbsp;</h3>

The case has been registered at Mumbai’s Govandi Police Station under the Atrocities Act. The builder allegedly hurled abuses and made casteist slurs at Rahul Jadhav, a follower of Buddhism. The youth was allegedly beaten up in front of the entire office.&nbsp;Upon learning about the incident, VBA workers rushed to Raheja’s office, but he had fled the spot by then. An issue with documents not being stapled properly went on to Raheja, saying, “Tum Ghati, Jai Bhim wale log kabhi sudhrega nahi”, which translates to ‘You Ghat dwellers and ‘Jai Bhim’ followers will never improve. ‘Jai Bhim’ is a strong slogan in praise of Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, the man who became the voice of the oppressed and marginalised in India during the freedom struggle and after.&nbsp;

Following Mumbai builder Sushil Raheja's casteist remarks for an employee, Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA) workers vandalised his Chembur office. The ‘unbreakable’ glass door distracts netizens. 

On Sunday (Feb 8), a video of Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA) workers vandalising builder Sushil Raheja’s office in Mumbai’s Chembur was circulating online. The video went viral as the builder allegedly assaulted an employee working with his firm over a trivial matter, reported news outlet Prabuddh Bharat, but what caught netizens' attention was the sturdy glass door, which withstood multiple blows by a woman trying to smash it with what looked like a hockey stick. The sports equipment was used at the wrong place for sure; it did not do as much damage. Now, the curiosity is about the marker on the glass. No crack, no damage; with the intensity of the blow, anybody would have expected it to come crashing down. Who manufactured the glass door? The visual distracted the people from the vandalism, and the discussion drifted from there to the quality of the glass. People are enquiring which company has made this glass. Social media users are speculating that Saint-Gobain could have manufactured the toughened glass, but no official confirmation has been provided by Raheja's office on this as yet. WATCH VIDEO HERE:

Mumbai builder faces outrage over casteist abuse, but his toughened glass door is winning internet

Everyone complaining that they are tired all the time, step aside. Only people currently in one particular decade of their life have the right to say, according to science. Researchers have found that the most exhausting period of our lives arrives after we turn 40. By this age, even though the body isn't as young as it was in your 20s, life's demands are still sky high. You still have kids to raise and work to do. So you have to do it all, but not be at your best. According to Professor Michelle Spear, an anatomist from the University of Bristol, it is not just about getting older, but is linked to several small biological changes happening together. She told Daily Mail that this "midlife fatigue" is a result of "mismatch between biology and demand".&nbsp;She says that even though our bodies are still producing energy at this age, it does not happen in the same way as in our 20s. It occurs "under different conditions than in earlier adulthood, while the demands placed on that energy often peak." However, she states that these biological imbalances, which drain our energy, are only temporary. But they are enough to leave us feeling tired and fatigued, more than at any other times of our lives. Spear added that in our 40s, we undergo a cellular change. In our 20s, mitochondria, the parts of our cells responsible for making energy, do so in a way that less of it is wasted and inflammatory by-products are not as much. So even if you do not exercise as much or sleep late, the body is not affected as much. However, the same activities in your 40s will have a detrimental effect because of the subtle physical changes that begin to occur.Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/lifestyle/hot-flushes-anxiety-brain-fog-during-menopause-doctors-break-down-what-women-should-know-1769865297063">Menopause isn’t just hot flushes: Doctors break down what women should know</a><h2>More exercise, poor sleep quality, perimenopause — Endless list of problems</h2>So despite continuous energy production, we feel sapped because our body is using more of it. Strength training is one effective way to prevent muscle loss and mitigate the impact of this condition. Another aspect is the difference between how stress and less sleep impact us in our 40s as compared to 20s or 30s. Adding to the problem is the fact that getting a good night's sleep becomes difficult with age. So you need to sleep well to feel energetic, and yet sleep eludes you, making it a tough problem to navigate. Professor Spear says, "Hormonal changes, particularly fluctuating oestrogen and progesterone for women during perimenopause, directly affect the brain regions that regulate sleep depth and body temperature."&nbsp;Our body's stress response becomes more active with age, which leads to cortisol rising at night instead of falling, making us feel less rested. Along with all this, people in their 40s face a huge amount of cognitive and emotional load because of all the responsibilities. So you are physically and mentally drained because of all the work and your body is not supporting you. Spear added, "Midlife fatigue, in particular, often reflects cumulative load rather than ageing itself." &nbsp;

Scientists say the most tiring times in our lives arrive when we turn 40. This decade throws everything off balance. There are physical changes, stress, hormonal issues, poor sleep, low muscle strength, and yet the workload keeps increasing.
