American Influencer and professional wrestler Logan Paul is currently a target of controversies over his cryptocurrency investments as concerns rise that he might have profited by misleading his fans, reported BBC.

According to the new evidence, Paul promoted investments without disclosing that he had a financial interest in them, according to BBC.

The popular social media influencer has over 23 million followers on YouTube. His influence has led to a spike in investment prices, leading to suggestions that he could have profited from sales of any tokens he held.

Moreover, he is also facing a multimillion-dollar lawsuit over a failed crypto project called CryptoZoo. However, he has denied any wrongdoing.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/us-senator-chuck-schumer-asks-fda-to-investigate-logan-paul-ksis-prime-energy-drink-613980">Also read:&nbsp;US Senator Chuck Schumer urges FDA to investigate Logan Paul, KSI’s ‘PRIME’ energy drink. Here's why</a>

The report revealed that shortly after Paul took to X, and posted about a particular crypto coin in 2021, an anonymous crypto wallet with close connections to his public wallet had traded in the coin. The anonymous wallet went on to make a $120,000 (£92,000) profit.

BBC's findings come after Time Magazine reported a similar activity involving a different cryptocurrency and another anonymous wallet.&nbsp;

Paul has been refusing to talk to the BBC about the ongoing investigation. Later, he appeared to relent and invited the BBC to interview him at his gym in Puerto Rico.&nbsp;

Paul was sent a list of the allegations BBC wanted him to respond to. His PR team requested the BBC crew to travel to the Caribbean island so he could answer in person.

Later, when the BBC crew arrived at Paul's gym, a Logan Paul lookalike turned up in his place, shortly followed by a crowd shouting abuse about the BBC.&nbsp;

After abandoning the interview, the British public service broadcaster received a lawyer’s letter on behalf of Paul, warning them of possible consequences if the findings were published.

Tech journalist Will Gotsegen said that crypto is a market-driven to some extent by social media and influencers, adding, "A big guy with a lot of influence... someone like Logan Paul, buys a tonne of crypto and tells their followers about it. They're going to buy it too.”

Elon Musk has hinted at the possibility of ending Daylight Savings Time. On a post regarding the same on social media, Musk commented in the affirmative. Under Donald Trump, the SpaceX CEO has been assigned to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

DOGE is meant to cut costs where possible and help the government work more efficiently. It is an outside role and not an official part of the government. Musk has been talking about bringing in big changes and regularly posts about the government's plans once Trump assumes the role of president next year.

Musk's plans also include getting rid of Daylight Savings Time.&nbsp;

A user on X posted, "I hope that D.O.G.E can delete daylight savings time."

To this, Musk replied, "Yes."

Daylight Savings Time is a method to utilise more daylight not just in the United States, but several other countries as well. It begins on the second Sunday of March every year in the US when people move their clocks forward one hour.&nbsp;

It ends on the first Sunday of November when people are required to move their clocks back by an hour again.

The topic has been a constant point of stress for several Americans. People argue that the change makes managing things harder, besides affecting their sleep cycles. But the main idea behind DST was to utilise daylight for a longer time when the sun sets later.

<h2>Daylight Savings Time has divided people</h2>

DST was first used in the US during the First World War. Officials felt the need to conserve energy during the war years and so came up with the idea of changing clock cycles in summer and winter.

While a lot of people want it to be completely removed, others argue making it a permanent fixture. This way only one cycle is followed all year round while getting in more light.

Musk might be going all out with ideas to change things in the US. But people are sceptical about the power he holds, considering DOGE is not even an official wing of the government.&nbsp;

A social media user wrote, "DST starts and ends with an act of Congress, so nothing D.O.G.E can do about it."

The proposal to end daylight savings has reached Congress in the past. A 2022 measure would have made daylight saving time permanent. However, it could not reach a conclusion.&nbsp;

A 2022 CBS News/YouGov poll found that nearly 80 per cent of Americans wanted to change the current format. About 46 per cent of them wanted to make DST permanent, while 33 per cent wanted it to end.

Some states and territories in the US do not follow daylight saving time. Hawaii and most of Arizona are among those. American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands also don't observe daylight saving time.

Italy, Spain, and Greece on Wednesday (Nov. 20) shut down their embassies in Kyiv following a similar move by the US earlier in the day.&nbsp;The US embassy had warned&nbsp;of a potential significant air attack, citing "specific information".

Meanwhile, the Kremlin has&nbsp;announced that a “freeze” of the conflict along the existing frontlines is not acceptable to Moscow, an indication that Russia was willing to continue the war as Ukraine continues to occupy parts of its Kursk Oblast.

During a press conference, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov also accused the Joe Biden administration in the US of adding fuel to the fire, saying Washington, DC, was doing everything possible to continue the war.

"If you look at the trends of the outgoing US administration, they are fully committed to continuing the war in Ukraine and are doing everything they can to do so," he said.

Speaking of US approval to Ukraine for using long-range missiles for strikes inside Russia, Peskov said Russia was not alerted beforehand by Western officials.

<h2>Biden administration steps up weapons delivery to Ukraine</h2>

Earlier, it was reported that Biden has authorised the transfer of anti-personnel landmines to Ukraine. As per a Washington Post report citing unnamed US officials, the land mines are described as "nonpersistent", which means they are designed to self-destruct or deactivate within a set timeframe to minimise risks to civilians.

The Kremlin also rubbished allegations that Russia was behind the cutting of telecommunications cables running under the Baltic Sea.

India, China Defence Ministers to Meet on the Sidelines of ASEAN Summit

An ancient Aztec Death Whistle has been found to make the "most terrifying sound in the world". Civilisations that thrived in Mexico, such as the Mayans, were known to have dangerous objects. This whistle is being touted as the scariest of them all. It was discovered in 1999 when archaeologists dug up a site and found a sacrificial victim buried with it.

The Aztec Death Whistle is believed to be over 500 years old. It looks like a normal object but produces a horrifying shriek when blown into. Scientists believe that the whistle is able to make such a sound because of its inner construction which creates a sound at a similar frequency as one produced by a human screaming.&nbsp;

Its inside looks almost like the human larynx. This lets it produce a sound around the frequency of 1 kHz. Studies suggest that this is the same frequency as screams that are let out by humans when in a state of fear.

Its terrifying sound was reportedly used to scare off animals and other human beings in ancient Aztec times. It seems odd to think that a mere whistle could scare off someone. But its sound has been termed terrifying and everyone who hears it agrees.

<h2>Social media users react to eerie sound</h2>

Some people on social media even wonder whether the sound they are listening to is actually coming from the whistle or an animal. However, others admit to being scared on listening to the whistle's sound.

A user on social media wrote,&nbsp;"That scientist must've gotten the biggest jump scare ever" when they heard the whistle for the first time. Another user wrote, "Just imagine hearing this at night in a deserted place."

Aztecs was the greatest empire to rule over Mexico and reigned for over 300 years. It was the last great Mesoamerican empire, which crumbled when the Spanish invaded in the 1400s.&nbsp;

They were known for their acts of barbarity. Mass human sacrifice also seemed to be commonplace during their time, and the Aztecs are estimated to have sacrificed 20,000 people a year.

Israel-Hamas War: Netanyahu Announces $5 Million Reward for Each Hostage Freed in Gaza

A rare cosmic alignment is taking place in the sky this week with Moon and Mars coming together. Skygazers will have a wonderful opportunity to see the two cosmic bodies together close by. On Wednesday (Nov 20), Mars will be visible just four degrees above the waxing crescent Moon.

The best views of Mars are on offer only once every two years. It is happening the week of Nov 19, 2024, this time when it will appear next to the Moon. Such alignments happen because of the natural orbits of the bodies within our solar system which are elliptical.

Mars has been growing in brightness for weeks. It will reach its brightest point in January 2025 in a two-year period. You can spot the Moon and Mars together near the twin stars of Gemini: Castor and Pollux. They will rise hours after sunset and you will be able to view them until dawn.

The orbit of Mars would be bringing Mars closer to Earth, resulting it in appearing extremely bright. It will be at an even closer point in January when you will be able to see it shine much more brightly in the night sky.

By the evening of November 20, 2024, the waning moon will be close to the red planet. You might also be able to catch a glimpse of the Beehive Cluster, or M44. The cluster contains around 1,000 stars and can be seen with the naked eye if you are in a region with extremely dark skies.

Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/science/moons-far-side-witnessed-volcanic-eruptions-for-more-than-one-billion-years-777442">Moon's far side witnessed volcanic eruptions for more than one billion years</a>

To watch the Beehive Cluster in other areas, you'll need a pair of binoculars to spot it late on the night of Nov 20-21.&nbsp;

<h2>How to see Mars and Moon</h2>

To get the best view of the Mars and Moon alignment, wait till after 10 pm on November 20. By this time, both the bodies would have risen high in the sky. It would be ideal if you could get away to a location where there is minimal light pollution. Look towards the east-northeastern part of the sky to see the pair shining next to each other.

You can easily see them with the naked eye and don't need any special equipment. But if you wish to get a closer look at Mars, use a pair of binoculars or a telescope.

Netanyahu makes rare Gaza visit, announces $5 million reward for each hostage returned

Iranian authorities announced on Tuesday (Nov. 19)&nbsp;that the Iranian woman who went viral for stripping down to her underwear at a Tehran university in an apparent anti-hijab protest&nbsp;has been freed and will not face charges.&nbsp;

The woman, identified as Ahoo Daryaei by BBC Persian, had earlier this month, in a dramatic act of defiance, stripped down to her underwear. The incident was captured on a video that went viral online.&nbsp;

<h2>A protest of note</h2>

According to a student movement organisation, Daryaei's on-campus protest unfolded after she reportedly clashed with security agents over not wearing a headscarf. In a moment of defiance, she removed her clothing. Shortly after, she was forcibly detained, with Iranian officials claiming she was "sick" and transferred her to a psychiatric ward.

Judiciary spokesperson Asghar Jahangir confirmed her release, stating, "Considering that she was sent to the hospital, and it was found that she was ill, she was handed over to her family... and no judicial case has been filed against her."

This move, presented as an act of compassion, has been labelled by activists as a strategy to delegitimise dissent by framing protesters as mentally ill.

Daryaei’s case is the latest example of what critics call the Iranian regime’s tactic of using mental health claims to undermine women’s rights activism. "This is how the Islamic Republic tries to discredit women, by questioning their mental health," said Azam Jangravi, an activist who fled Iran after her own anti-hijab protest in 2018.&nbsp;

Jangravi said her family has been facing pressure from Iranian authorities to declare her mentally ill: "My family didn’t do it, but many families under pressure do, thinking it’s the best way to protect their loved ones."

<h2>Iran to open a 'treatment clinic' for women who defy hijab laws?</h2>

If reports are to be believed, the Iranian government has plans to open a treatment clinic for women who defy&nbsp;the country's mandatory hijab laws. Such a type of centre has been named "hijab removal treatment clinic."

According to a report by The Guardian on Thursday (Nov. 14), the opening of this clinic was announced by Mehri Talebi Darestani, the head of the Women and Family Department of the Tehran Headquarters for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice.

Darestani said that the clinic would offer scientific and psychological treatment for hijab removal. She said that the clinic would be focused on promoting "dignity, modesty, chastity, and hijab," and pointed out that attendance would be optional.
