A wild party by a group of men in the UK turned into a nightmare for the locals. The group had hired 3 barges for the weekend, and ended up crashing one of them, and sinking another, as per a Daily Mail report.
The incident occurred in Worcestershire between May 20 and 22. The accidents led to the flooding of a nearby road, and closure of a waterway.
The drunk group allegedly crashed one of the barges into another boat on May 20 evening. The sailor of the other boat, Amanda Huxtable said that she was frightened, and called the police. The group allegedly hit multiple boats on the same night.
Meanwhile, a barge sank while passing through a lock on the Droitwich canal in Worcestershire. It took rescue teams most of May 21 to unblock the canal, even as water levels rose and flooded nearby roads.
The Canal and Rivers Trust is reportedly investigating the incident.

A leading adviser to the World Health Organization has described the unprecedented outbreak of monkeypox in developed countries as “a random event” that might be explained by risky sexual behavior at two recent mass events in Europe. Dr. David Heymann, who formerly headed WHO’s emergencies department, said the leading theory to explain the spread of the disease was sexual transmission among gay and bisexual men at two raves held in Spain and Belgium.   Monkeypox has not previously triggered widespread outbreaks beyond Africa, where it is endemic in animals. Heymann said monkeypox can spread when there is close contact with the lesions of someone who is infected, and it looks like sexual contact has now amplified that transmission.   Heymann, who is also a professor of infectious diseases at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said the monkeypox outbreak was likely a random event that might be traceable to a single infection. To date, WHO has recorded more than 90 cases of monkeypox in a dozen countries including Britain, Spain, Israel, France, Switzerland, the U.S. and Australia. That marks a significant departure from the disease’s typical pattern of spread in central and western Africa, where people are mainly infected by animals like wild rodents and primates and outbreaks have not spread across borders.

Days after a report placed the Indian Air Force above its Chinese counterpart, the Chinese propaganda machine has gone into overdrive. Recently, the World Directory of Modern Military Aircraft released Global Air Power Rankings 2022.
In the Top 10 list, the Indian Air Force was placed above China, Japan, Israel, and France. The only two air forces above India were USA and Russia.
The WDMMA calculates a TvR, or True Value Rating score to compare combat strength of various forces with aerial warfare capabilities. In the TvR score, the number of aircraft, quality of equipment, and diversity of the fleet, among other factors, are taken into account.
China's loss to India in the rankings did not go down well with Chinese netizens. The excuses to discredit the rankings ranged from WDMMA having inadequate information about China, to citing India's dependence on foreign imports, as per a report in the EurAsian Times.
Chinese articles slamming the rankings also attacked the Tejas, the light combat aircraft manufactured by Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd, or HAL.

Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelenskyy has scoffed at a claim made by Russia. The invading country's promise of using nuclear-powered laser weaponry to shoot down drones in Ukraine was called a nonexistent 'wonder weapon' by Zelenskyy. 
'Wonder weapon' is a reference to a propaganda invention of the Nazis who claimed to be in possession of the weapon that would change things for the Axis power. 
But such a weapon didn't exist and Zelenskyy claims the same is true of Russia's promised laser weapon. 
Yuri Borisov, Russia's deputy Prime Minister, told the media recently that the new 'Zadira' weapon could destroy targets up to 5 km away and incinerate drones in 5 seconds during a test.
Reports say that such weapons are indeed being developed. They are, however, either just in development stage or exist as prototypes, not yet cleared for use. 
Israel last month had said that they successfully tested such a weapon. Israeli PM said that it may sound like science fiction but it is real. 
Analysts say for the weapons developed by Russia to become truly effective, it would need to step up production of the weapon. With the current numbers, the weapon won't make much difference. 
Another has highlighted the threat it would pose if it indeed is nuclear-powered, as rumoured. If Ukraine targets the installations, it could lead to a small nuclear disaster.

In a concerning incident, two Rafale fighter jets were involved in a mid-air collision, as per news reports. The incident occurred on May 22 during an airshow at the 709 base in Cognac-Chateaubernard in France.
The Rafale aircraft belonged to the 30th Fighter Squadron of the French Air Force. The tailfin of one of the jets was damaged and some debris fell and damaged a house in Gensac-la-Pallue, according to a report in the EurAsian Times.
However, the two aircraft were able to land without difficulty, and no injuries were reported.
One of the Rafale involved in the crash had recently participated in the NATO Tiger Meet military exercise amid the Russia-Ukraine war. The Rafale GA-30 had been painted in special colours for the NATO exercise.
The jets involved in the incident were Rafale C single-seat aircraft from the Vautour Bravo tactical demonstration team which showcases the aircraft's operational capabilities. The French Air Force has launched an investigation into the incident.
In February 2022, another Rafale jet had suffered a technical malfunction. The Rafale's Marine variant had to be redirected to Malta after the nozzle of the refuelling probe fell off and the jet could not be refuelled for a return journey to the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle.
The most serious Rafale accident occurred in 2009 when 2 Rafale Marine jets fell in the Mediterranean sea during a test flight. One pilot went missing, while the other was injured.
India has bought 36 Rafale jets from Dassault Aviation for its Air Force.

President Joe Biden said Monday that the US would intervene militarily if China were to invade Taiwan, saying the burden to protect Taiwan is "even stronger' after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. It was one of the most forceful presidential statements in support of self-governing in decades.
Biden, at a news conference in Tokyo, said “yes” when asked if he was willing to get involved militarily to defend Taiwan if China invaded. “That's the commitment we made,” he added.
The US traditionally has avoided making such an explicit security guarantee to Taiwan, with which it no longer has a mutual defense treaty. The 1979 Taiwan Relations Act, which has governed US relations with the island, does not require the US to step in militarily to defend Taiwan if China invades, but makes it American policy to ensure Taiwan has the resources to defend itself and to prevent any unilateral change of status in Taiwan by Beijing.
Biden's comments were likely to draw a sharp response from the mainland, which has claimed Taiwan to be a rogue province.
A White House official said Biden's comments did not reflect a policy shift.
Speaking alongside Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, Biden said any effort by China to use force against Taiwan would “just not be appropriate,” adding that it “will dislocate the entire region and be another action similar to what happened in Ukraine.” China has stepped up its military provocations against democratic Taiwan in recent years aimed at intimidating it into accepting Beijing's demands to unify with the communist mainland.
“They're already flirting with danger right now by flying so close and all the maneuvers that are undertaken,” Biden said of China.
Under the “one China” policy, the US recognises Beijing as the government of China and doesn't have diplomatic relations with Taiwan. However, the US maintains unofficial contacts including a de facto embassy in Taipei, the capital, and supplies military equipment for the island's defence.
Biden said it is his “expectation” that China would not try to seize Taiwan by force, but he said that assessment “depends upon just how strong the world makes clear that that kind of action is going to result in long-term disapprobation by the rest of the community." He added that deterring China from attacking Taiwan was one reason why it's important that Russian President Vladimir Putin "pay a dear price for his barbarism in Ukraine," lest China and other nations get the idea that such action is acceptable.
Fearing escalation with nuclear-armed Russia, Biden quickly ruled out putting US forces into direct conflict with Russia, but he has shipped billions of dollars in US military assistance that has helped Ukraine put up a stiffer-than-expected resistance to Russia's onslaught.
Biden's comments came just before he formally launched a long-anticipated Indo-Pacific trade pact that excludes Taiwan.
White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan confirmed Sunday that Taiwan isn't among the governments signed up for the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework, which is meant to allow the US to work more closely with key Asian economies on issues like supply chains, digital trade, clean energy and anti-corruption.
Inclusion of Taiwan would have irked China.
Sullivan said the US wants to deepen its economic partnership with Taiwan on a one-to-one basis.

Biden says will use military to defend Taiwan if China invades: is it a major US policy shift?

Under the “one China” policy, the US recognises Beijing as the government of China and doesn't have diplomatic relations with Taiwan.

Beijing said it was ready to defend its national interests over Taiwan, in a rebuke to US President.

Rock icon Kurt Cobain's electric guitar, which he played in his band Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit” music video, was auctioned for nearly $5 million.
According to Variety, the Fender Mustang electric guitar was sold to the Jim Irsay Collection of Indianapolis at Julien’s Auctions on May 22.
The guitar was auctioned for approximately $4.5 million, surpassing its original estimate of $600,000.
In his final interview with Guitar World, Cobain had said that the 1969 left-handed guitar was one of his favourites.
“I’m left-handed, and it’s not very easy to find reasonably priced, high-quality left-handed guitars. But out of all the guitars in the whole world, the Fender Mustang is my favorite. I’ve only owned two of them," he said.
Apart from playing the guitar at various live concerts, the late singer-songwriter also used it for studio recording sessions of “Nevermind” and “In Utero".
The guitar was previously displayed at Seattle’s Experience Music Project, now known as MoPOP Museum of Pop Culture.
Cobain family will be donating a portion of the proceeds from the auction to Kicking The Stigma — the Irsays’ initiative to raise awareness about mental health disorders and remove the stigma associated with these illnesses.

In China’s Guangxi region, explorers have unearthed a forest hiding, prospering, and growing at the bottom of a sinkhole with trees ranging up to 130 meters tall.   The ancient forest that could throw light on some new species of flora and fauna has been found in a massive sinkhole in that extends up to 630 feet deep and spans more than 176 million cubic feet.  The Guangxi site is famous for sinkholes in Southern China and among the 30, it is the largest. The site reportedly had three caves in its walls and a well-preserved primitive forest at the bottom. Chen Lixin, who led the expedition team said he wouldn’t be surprised to know that there are species found in these caves that have never been reported or described by science until now.  The expedition used the single rope technique for caves to rappel along with the caves and discovered dense plants and trees as they descended vertically for 100 meters. The team reached the bottom of the pit which was characterised by tropical rainforest with the trees stretching upward desperately, growing tall and thin, showing a "slim" appearance.  According to a report in the Guangxi Daily newspaper, the sinkhole is dangerous, strange, steep, and beautiful.

The United States and Taliban have reportedly reached a 'draft framework for a peace deal' in Afghanistan, a breakthrough that could end a 17-year conflict in the war-torn country. According to reports, the United States is considering a full withdrawal of its troops, in exchange for ceasefire and a commitment by the Taliban to not use Afghanistan as a base for terror groups. According to the New York Times, the deal is still in a preliminary stage, and 'still has to be fleshed out before it becomes an agreement.'

This sign near the London Gatwick airport in the UK is scaring fliers. The large "Welcome To Luton" sign put up on the side of the road is meant to scare arriving passengers into thinking that they have reached the wrong airport.
This was claimed in a widely shared Twitter post. The sign is clearly visible from a plane about to land at the Gatwick airport. The sign makes people think that they are about to land at the London Luton airport which is northwest of London, even though they were slated to land at Gatwick which is in the south.
The prank is similar to the one seen in Australia in June 2021. A sign saying "Welcome to Perth" had been painted in large letters on the roof of a building in Sydney. The sign was meant as a prank to make passengers think they arrived in the wrong Australian city.

This sign near the London Gatwick airport in the UK is scaring fliers. The large "Welcome To Luton" sign put up on the side of the road is meant to scare arriving passengers into thinking that they have reached the wrong airport.
This was claimed in a widely shared Twitter post. The sign is clearly visible from a plane about to land at the Gatwick airport. The sign makes people think that they are about to land at the London Luton airport which is northwest of London, even though they were slated to land at Gatwick which is in the south.
The prank is similar to the one seen in Australia in June 2021. A sign saying "Welcome to Perth" had been painted in large letters on the roof of a building in Sydney. The sign was meant as a prank to make passengers think they arrived in the wrong Australian city.

A diplomatic row has broken out between the UK and Indonesia over a flag hoisted at the British embassy in Jakarta.
On May 17, a rainbow LGBT flag was hoisted alongside the national flag at the British embassy in the Muslim-majority nation. It was to mark the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia.
Posting the flag's photos on social media, the embassy had written, "Sometimes it is important to take a stand for what you think is right, even if disagreement between friends can be uncomfortable."
But the move did not go down well with the host country. The Indonesian government summoned the British envoy as Islamic conservatives in the country cried foul. Britain was asked by Indonesia to be respectful of local "sensitivities on matters relevant to culture, religion, and belief".
Homosexuality is legal in Indonesia except in the sharia-ruled province of Aceh. However, growing influence of Islamic conservatives in the world's largest Muslim-majority country is reinforcing the social taboo surrounding homosexuality.
