In a bizarre medical case, an Irish man suffered short-term memory loss after seuxal intercourse with his wife. The condition was diagnosed as Transient Global Amnesia, or TGA, in the Irish Medical Journal.
The patient in question suffered short-term amnesia just 10 minutes after sexual intercourse with his wife, according to analysis of the case in the medical journal. The amnesia came to light when the man checked his phone, saw the date, and became distressed that he had forgotten his wedding anniversary the day before. In fact, the man had celebrated the anniversary the previous evening.
The man had a similar episode in 2015, that too after sexual intercourse. The article in the medical journal said, "The precipitation of TGA has been linked with several activities including physical activity, immersion in cold or hot water, emotional stress, pain and sexual intercourse."
It is a rare condition which usually affects people between ages of 50 and 70. Affected people usually regain their memories within a few hours. The patient in this case also regained his memories after some time.

On the 94th day of the Russia-Ukraine war, Moscow announced the successful testing of the Zircon hypersonic cruise missile. The missile successfully hit its target which was placed 1,000 km away, according to the Russian government.
The missile was fired from Admiral Gorshkov frigate stationed in the Barents Sea, and the target was in the White Sea in the Arctic. The missile can fly at up to ten times the speed of sound, and has a maximum range of 1,000 km.
The Zircon was first tested in October 2020, and it was called a "great event" by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
In March, Russia used another hypersonic missile, called the Kinzhal, against Ukraine. Moscow claimed that it was the first time that the Kinzhal had been deployed in combat.
Putin has reportedly called the missiles a family of new "invincible" weapons in Russia's arsenal.

With the Russia-Ukraine war nearing the 100th-day grim milestone, Russia's second-richest man and his ultra-luxurious superyacht are in the news. The Pacific, a $150 million superyacht, is owned by Leonid Mikhelson, and it disappeared from the radar for almost two weeks, before reappearing on May 20, as per a Bloomberg report.
Mikhelson, who is founder and chairman of natural gas producer Novatek, is one of the many Russian billionaires sanctioned by USA and its allies after Moscow attacked Ukraine.
The Pacific superyacht had signalled that it was on its way to the Bahamas before it turned its transponder off, which was then turned on near the Canary Islands on May 20. Experts believe that the yacht may eventually sail to Maldives or Turkey, as these are seen as Russia's friendly nations, and the vessel may not be seized there under sanctions.
What sets the Pacific apart from many other superyachts is its metallic finish, which appears to change colour in sunlight. The Pacific has 6 cabins to host guests, and features a movie theatre, swimming pool, jacuzzi, and two massive helipads.
Russian billionaires are in a hurry to secure their luxury superyachts as their villas, luxury cars and bank accounts in Europe are seized as punishment for the war. Over a dozen yachts, worth over $2.25 billion have been confiscated so far, as per reports.

A military drone, capable of firing weapons and targeting enemies using artificial intelligence, and without specific commands, is in high demand. This is what the general manager of Turkish defence equipment company STM claimed recently.
STM's Ozgur Guleruz claimed that at least 20 countries are interested in buying the KARGU Rotary Wing Strike UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). The KARGU drones have reportedly been in service with the Turkish military since 2018, but gained fame in defence circles after an incident in 2020.
The drone had been deployed in Libya in 2020, when it reportedly attacked a soldier without any command from its operator. The KARGU drone attacked the soldier from Khalifa Haftar's forces without any command as it was in a "highly efficient autonomous mode" which implies artificial intelligence, as per a bulgarianmilitary.com report, quoting a UN document.
This was widely described as the first case of a drone attacking a human fully autonomously.
The KARGU drone is a small, portable, rotary-wing kamikaze drone, with two control modes: autonomous and manual. It is programmed with artificial intelligence with integrated machine learning algorithm.
The drone has a 5 km operational range, and can be used for both day and night operations, for tracking moving targets, and navigation, among others. The KARGU offers different ammunition options, in-flight mission abortion, and also emergency self-destruction, as per bulgarianmilitary.com.

India hit back at a group of Islamic nations after it criticised the court judgment against Kashmiri terrorist Yasin Malik. The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, or OIC, called the conviction and life imprisonment of Malik "illegal", and the charges "concocted".
This, despite the fact that Malik pleaded guilty to the charges during the trial in an NIA court. The Indian government called the OIC's Human Rights Commission's comments "unacceptable".
The Indian foreign ministry said, "India finds unacceptable the comments made by OIC-IPHRC today criticising India for the judgement in the case of Yasin Malik. Through these comments, OIC-IPHRC has implicitly expressed support for the terrorist activities of Yasin Malik, which were documented and presented in the Court. The world seeks zero tolerance of terrorism and we urge OIC not to justify it any manner."
On May 25, Yasin Malik was sentenced to life in prison in a terror funding case.The National Investigation Agency, which probed the case, had sought the death sentence.

The Russian military on Friday claimed that it completed clearing mines and removing sunken ships in the Azov Sea so that the port in Mariupol could resume operation.
"At the moment, access to the waters of the western harbour is free and clean. The specialists of the Black Sea Fleet completed the task on time and unblocked the port of Mariupol so that it could function," an officer of the Russian Black Sea fleet said.
Separatist authorities said the Mariupol port would be ready to receive ships by the end of May. Six foreign cargo ships still remain in the harbour waiting to be taken to their home ports.
The Russian Defense Ministry proposed corridors to allow foreign ships to leave ports along the Black Sea, as well as Mariupol on the Sea of Azov.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said his country was ready to agree on safe corridors in principle, but it was not sure it could trust Russia to allow safe passage.

Demonstrators took to the streets of Sao Paulo in Brazil Friday to protest after a video released on social media showed the asphyxiation death of a Black man being held by two officers of Federal Highway Police inside an SUV's smoke-filled trunk.
Images of the police stop Tuesday in Umbauba, in the northeastern state of Sergipe, appear to show the officers forcibly keeping Genivaldo de Jesus Santos, 38, in the back of their police vehicle as a dense cloud of white smoke, which appears to be tear gas, emerges from the SUV.
The man can be heard screaming and his legs, which stick out of the SUV, kick for a time, until they eventually stop moving. The officers seem undisturbed by onlookers surrounding them.
Social media erupted over the images, and dozens of people gathered to protest in Umbauba, where they blocked a road and burned tires.
In Sao Paulo demonstrators gathered in front of the Federal Highway Police headquarters to protest on Friday.
Douglas Belchior, activist from the Black movement, compared the Federal Highway Police to the Nazi SS paramilitary force.
"This is just a continuation of a police practice that we know very well how it works. They enter in communities, favelas and Black territories, killing people," said the Black movement activist Douglas Belchior.
In a statement, the Federal Highway Police said the man had displayed aggressive behavior and was "actively resisting" the officers who pulled him over.
The statement said the agents immobilized him and then used "instruments of lesser offensive potential" to contain him.
The statement says Santos fell ill as he was being transported to a police precinct and was taken to a hospital, where his death was confirmed.
A preliminary autopsy from the state's forensic institute concluded the man died of respiratory failure due to "mechanical asphyxia."
A statement from the Independent Brazilian Public Security Forum said the incident showed "lack of preparedness" from the police on "basic procedures."
President Jair Bolsonaro said he would find out from the Federal Highway Police what happened. He also mentioned a separate incident two weeks ago when a man shot two on-duty highway officers.
The Federal Police opened an investigation. The forensic institute must submit its final, more in-depth report to the Federal Police within 10 days.
The incident comes just days after officers of the highway police participated in an operation in Rio de Janeiro that left more than 20 people dead.
Police have said they had no choice but to use lethal force, but accounts from residents published in local media have raised doubts on that claim.

Japan announced that it has decided to defy the 1986 global ban on whaling and exit the International Whaling Commission. The island nation said that it would resume whaling from July next year for the first time in 30 years and would officially announce its decision by the end of the year. Drawing flak from all quarters, Japan insisted that it would confine its hunting in the territorial waters and in the exclusive economic zone.

Amid tension between India and China over Beijing's military aggression in Ladakh, America seems to gaining. The United States overtook China to become India's top trade partner in 2021-22.
In FY22, India and USA's bilateral trade stood at $119.42 billion compared to $115.42 billion between India and China.
India's exports to US rose to $76.11 billion in 2021-22 from $51.62 billion in 2020-21. At the same time, imports from US to India rose to $43.31 billion from $29 billion in 2020-21.
India's exports to China increased to $21.25 billion in 2021-22 from $21.18 billion in 2020-21. Imports from China to India rose to $94.16 billion from $65.21 billion in 2020-21.
The sharp rise in imports from China continues despite India's perceived push to move away following the Ladakh tension.
India has a trade surplus with the US, but a trade deficit with China. This means that India exports more to the US than it imports, but vice versa with China.

Fear of the Russian invasion separated them. Now some couples and families in Kharkiv are finally reuniting as people begin to return to Ukraine's second-largest city.
At Kharkiv train station, husbands and fathers anxiously wait for the first sight of their loved ones as the train approaches. The first sight in weeks, for many a moment they've been dreaming of for three months.
As Russian forces tried to capture the northeastern city at the beginning of the invasion, Sasha and his wife endured the danger of shelling for almost a month. Then, his wife left for western Ukraine with one of her closest friends while Sasha stayed behind to keep his job at an internet company.
Emotions run high as they finally reunite.
Ukrainian forces managed to push back Russian troops from around Kharkiv more than two weeks ago.
Now that it feels safer, more and more people have been returning, but the occasional shelling can still be deadly.
On Thursday, Russian artillery fire killed at least seven civilians, and injured 17 including a 9-year-old child, the regional governor said.
It was a reminder that war is not yet over.
The Kharkiv region's governor Oleh Synyehubov appealed to his fellow citizens not to be tricked into feeling safe. Russian troops might try again to attack the city.
"It is still dangerous but I wanted to come home," said 50-year-old Tatyana who was welcome by her husband Andriy.
Tatyana left Ukraine and went to Slovakia on March 5.
"Slovakians welcomed and treated us very well, but it is not the same as to be home," she said.

Iraq has reported an outbreak of a fever that causes people to bleed to death. 
The Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever or CCHF is caused by blood-sucking ticks and is transmitted from animals to humans. 
The virus is reportedly as deadly as Covid-19 and is currently witnessing a surge in Iraq. No vaccine to prevent its spread is available yet. 
Iraq has reported 111 CCHF cases and 19 resulting deaths this year, according to WHO.
The onset of the virus is reportedly swift and causes severe internal and external bleeding, especially from the nose, hence earning the name 'nose-bleed fever'. It also causes intense fever and vomiting.
The number of cases recorded this year exceeds reported cases in the last 43 years when the virus was first recorded in Iraq in 1979.
As per WHO, the disease is endemic in Africa, Asia, the Middle East and the Balkans and the fatality rate is between 10 and 40 per cent.
The possible reason for the spread could be the absence of livestock spraying campaigns during Covid in 2020 and 2020.
