Reports of a giant 10-headed snake appearing in a field in India have саᴜѕed widespread feаr and рапіс among the local people. The sight of such a creature would be terrіfуіпɡ for anyone, and it’s not surprising that people are аfrаіd. Snakes have always һeld a special place in Indian mythology, and they are often revered as sacred creatures. However, the appearance of a snake with ten heads is something that is not often seen, and it’s understandable that it would саᴜѕe alarm. There have been reports of the snake аttасkіпɡ and kіllіпɡ animals in the area, adding to the feаr and anxiety of the people. The local authorities have ᴜrɡed people to stay away from the area and to be cautious if they eпсoᴜпter the snake. While it’s not entirely clear what type of snake this is or whether it actually has ten heads, it’s important to remember that snakes are generally not аɡɡreѕѕіⱱe creatures and will only аttасk if they feel tһreаteпed. It’s сrᴜсіаl to respect their habitat and not

Pope visits refugees, urges Hungary to show charity to all

Pope Francis has thanked Hungarians for welcoming Ukrainian refugees and urged them to help anyone in need BUDAPEST, Hungary -- BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Pope Francis thanked Hungarians on Saturday for welcoming Ukrainian refugees and urged them to help anyone in need, as he begged for a culture of charity in a country where the prime minister has justified firm anti-immigration policies with fears that migration threatens Europe’s Christian culture. On the second day of a visit to Hungary, Francis met with refugees and poor people at St. Elizabeth’s church, which was named for a Hungarian princess who renounced her wealth to dedicate herself to the poor as a follower of the pope's namesake, St. Francis of Assisi. Speaking in the white-brick church in Budapest, Francis recalled that the Gospel instructs Christians to show love and compassion to all, especially those experiencing poverty and pain and “even those who are not believers.” “The love that Jesus gives us and commands us to

SEOUL, South Korea -- The powerful sister of North Korea’s leader says her country would stage more provocative displays of its Military might in response to a new U.S.-South Korean agreement to intensify nuclear deterrence to counter the North’s nuclear threat, which she insists shows their “extreme” hostility toward Pyongyang. Kim Yo Jong also lobbed personal insults toward U.S. President Joe Biden, who after a summit with South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol on Wednesday stated that any North Korean nuclear attack on the U.S. or its allies would “result in the end of whatever regime” took such action. Biden’s meeting with Yoon in Washington came amid heightened tensions in the Korean Peninsula as the pace of both the North Korean

Why Harry Maguire didn't play for Man Utd against Tottenham

FROM TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR STADIUM - Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag did not pick club captain Harry Maguire in his starting lineup to face Tottenham on Thursday evening. The Red Devils missed the chance to open up an eight-point cushion ahead of the chasing top-four pack by throwing away a 2-0 lead in north London and settling for a draw. It's been a mixed last seven days for United, who were unceremoniously dumped out of the UEFA Europa League with a 3-0 loss at Sevilla last Thursday, but redeemed themselves to some extent by beating the in-form Brighton & Hove Albion on penalties in the FA Cup semi-finals on Sunday. With first-choice centre-backs Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane injured, Ten Hag has had to rely on Maguire a fair bit more recently. He started in the Sevilla loss and was at fault for the opening goal at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.

Chelsea 0-2 Brentford: Player ratings as Bees continue Blues' misery

Image
FROM STAMFORD BRIDGE - Frank Lampard has now lost all five of his Game s in caretaker charge of Chelsea after they were beaten 2-0 by Brentford on Wednesday. The Bees ran out resounding 4-1 winners on their last trip to Stamford Bridge and managed to snap a run of five Game s without a victory with another gutsy performance. Frank Lampard's side remain mired in 11th place and are six points off the top half, while Brentford are now the top club in west London after moving above Fulham into ninth. After an extremely tepid opening 23 minutes, Chelsea managed to carve out a half-chance. A cross from N'Golo Kante was headed downwards by Thiago Silva, but it was comfortable for David Raya. Brentford had a similar opportunity at the other end soon after when Mathias Jensen found the leaping Ben Mee, but the former Burnley man couldn't keep his balance when heading the ball and the hosts got away with some sloppy marking. Chelsea then managed to work an opening down the right thro

US classified docs leak not total 'surprise' but shows system needs reforms: Senate intel chair

Image
Mark Warner said on "This Week" that the leak of classified U.S. documents, allegedly by Jack Teixeira, didn't come as a complete surprise Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Mark Warner on Sunday said the leak of classified U.S. Military and intelligence documents -- allegedly by a Massachusetts Air National Guardsman working in IT -- wasn't completely unexpected but underscored how the process for secret-keeping needs to be reformed. "This is a problem that we shouldn't be totally surprised at," Warner, D-Va., told ABC "This Week" co-anchor Martha Raddatz. "We've known this has been a problem. We actually have to have, I believe, Congress intervene," he went on to say. Warner said there were multiple issues, including the over-classification of documents; the lack of a single authority overseeing the system who could enforce uniform regulations; and the ability of too many people with clearances to access entire documents

Why Mauricio Pochettino is Chelsea's ideal managerial candidate

Todd Boehly's first season at the helm of Chelsea Football Club could hardly have been more disastrous. The Blues headed into the summer of 2022 as the reigning club world champions. They'd experienced a dip in form at the back end of last season, but given the sanctions the club were under, that was at least understandable. In Thomas Tuchel, Boehly had one of the best and most tactically flexible head coaches in world Football to help steer his vision, with the American tycoon appointing himself as the interim sporting director for his first transfer window. Perhaps the alarm bells should have been ringing when Tuchel had to talk Boehly out of an ill-advised move for Cristiano Ronaldo. The summer of Boehly saw Chelsea spend a world record £271.1m on transfers. Tuchel was inexplicably fired one week after the window closed. A strange decision, sure, but not one without reason (even if the reason isn't a particularly good one). In American sports, the owners of new franchis

The Magnificent Butterfly Nebula: A Celestial Wonder

Image
The Butterfly Nebula (also known as NGC 6302) is a planetary nebula located in the constellation Scorpius, about 3,800 light-years away from Earth. It was discovered by the English astronomer John Frederick William Herschel in 1835. The nebula is named after its distinctive shape, which resembles a butterfly with its wings outstretched. It is formed by the expanding gas and dust ejected from a dying star that has exhausted its nuclear fuel and collapsed into a white dwarf. The intense ultraviolet radiation emitted by the hot central star ionizes the surrounding gas, causing it to glow brightly in various colors.           The Butterfly Nebula is one of the most studied and photographed planetary nebulae in the sky, and has revealed many interesting features, including a central region that appears to be a binary star system, a complex network of filaments and knots, and a symmetrical structure that suggests it was shaped by powerful stellar winds. The nebula

Supplier refuses to produce 'self-destructing' tyres for F1

Image
Michelin says it "cannot agree" to supply Formula 1 tyres that "destroy themselves" as it ponders a potential return to Grand Prix racing. The French company has not dismissed the idea of supplying F1 tyres again, having withdrawn at the end of the 2006 season after the tyre war with Bridgestone. Current supplier Pirelli's deal expires at the end of 2024, with the FIA recently opening the tender process for a three-year period between 2025-2027 for a sole supplier, ruling out the opportunity for a so-called tyre war. In its time away from F1, Michelin has supplied rubber to series such as the WEC, MotoGP and Formula E, but needs to see big changes before it would consider bidding for the F1 contract.

Proud Boys members testify in Jan. 6 sedition case: 'It was a terrible day'

Image
Members of the Proud Boys downplayed their role in the riot. Two key members of the far-right Proud Boys group testified Tuesday hoping to prove their innocence in the seditious conspiracy case against them for the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, while admitting some of their actions were wrong. Zachary Rehl and Dominic Pezzola both acknowledged their wrongdoing when they breached the Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021, during the riot. "I basically trespassed through all the breaches," Pezzola testified, describing how he pushed his way through multiple police lines before entering the building. The E. Barrett Prettyman federal courthouse in Washington, D.C. is seen on Jan. 12, 2023 during the beginning of the trial for several Proud Boys members charged with seditious conspiracy for their roles in the Jan 6, 2021 Capitol attacks.

17 men arrested in California Sikh community shootings

Authorities in Northern California have arrested more than a dozen people they say are responsible for a series of shootings within the Sikh community YUBA CITY, Calif. -- Authorities in Northern California on Monday said they had arrested more than a dozen men from two warring criminal syndicates whose violent rivalry they say was responsible for a mass shooting at a Sikh temple and a brutal sword attack at a parade in 2018. Sutter County District Attorney Jennifer Dupré said the two syndicates were responsible for multiple shootings where 11 people were shot, including five people at a Sikh temple in Stockton last year and two more victims at a temple in Sacramento last month. None of the victims died. Dupré said all of the men arrested are part of California's Sikh community and were members of one of two rival groups whose feud was fueled by intense personal connections. “This started out as one group, and one faction broke off, and since then they have been rivals trying to o
