An ancient Greenland shark, thought to be at least 150 years old, has been found on an Irish beach in what experts call a "very rare" event. The nearly 9.5-foot carcass was found in Finisklin, County Sligo, by two locals named Hammad Chaudhry and James Winters O'Donnell, who were out for a stroll along the beach. Initially believed to be a basking shark, the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group (IWDG) confirmed the rare find, noting it is the first recorded stranding of its kind in the Emerald Isle. "On the evening of Saturday, April 11th, the IWDG Live Stranding hotline received a report of a two-metre dead basking shark. Photos confirmed however, that this was not a basking shark and indeed a very rare and interesting stranding," read the statement by IWDG. The Greenland shark can have a lifespan of more than 500 years, the longest of any known vertebrate. They typically reach a length of four to six metres. "Little is known about the elusive Greenland Shark ...

Days after the US-Iranian talks in Pakistan failed, US President Donald Trump said that negotiations could resume "over the next two days." Speaking to the New York Post on Tuesday, Trump confirmed that the venue is going to stay the same -- Pakistan. "...It's more likely that we go back there," he said, adding, "Why should we go to some country that has nothing to do with it?" Trump said that Pakistan's Army Chief Field Marshal, Asim Munir, was "fantastic" and "doing a great job", which is why the US and Iran would go back to the talks in Islamabad. Earlier, Trump had told the Post that the US would not be returning to Pakistan for any future talks with Iran but later called them back with the update. The Republican leader had hinted at a European country as a mediating country previously. When asked if it was Turkey that the US was considering as the next location for talks, Trump said, "No, somebody more central. Euro...

A man accused of sexually exploiting at least 180 minor girls and recording over 350 obscene videos has been arrested in Maharashtra's Amravati, in a prompt action by the police following a complaint by a BJP MP. Mohammad Ayaz, alias Tanveer, a resident of Paratwada city, allegedly lured the girls into a "love trap," took them to Mumbai and Pune, and filmed obscene videos of them. These videos were allegedly used to blackmail the girls and force them into prostitution. Some were widely shared online too. The minors were systematically targeted through WhatsApp and Snapchat groups, according to a memorandum submitted by Rajya Sabha MP Anil Bonde to Superintendent of Police (Rural) Vishal Anand. Bonde also warned of staging protests in front of the SP's office on Wednesday morning if a Special Investigation Team (SIT) is not constituted. Even some members of the Muslim community visited the police station to demand strict action against the accused, stressing the n...

As tensions escalate around the Strait of Hormuz, where the US is intensifying pressure on Iranian-linked maritime activity, a parallel development in Southeast Asia is drawing attention. A fresh defence arrangement between the United States and Indonesia has triggered speculation that the US' focus may be widening toward the Strait of Malacca, which is another critical artery of global trade. The agreement, finalised earlier this week, gives US military aircraft expanded operational access to Indonesia's airspace. Although it is officially framed as a step toward deeper defence cooperation, it could also enhance Washington's surveillance and operational reach over the Malacca Strait, which links the Indian Ocean with East Asia. Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore collectively manage this passage, which facilitates a significant portion of global trade transit. However, the timing of the deal has raised questions about whether the US is recalibrating its Indo-Pacific strat...

Two very large crude carriers loaded with Iranian oil have reached Indian ports, ship tracking data from LSEG shows, as local refiners utilise a temporary waiver granted by the United States last month to resume purchases from Tehran for the first time in seven years. The current waiver is due to expire on April 19. The Iran-flagged Felicity has reached Sikka Port in western India, while the Curacao-flagged Jaya is at the eastern port of Odisha, the data shows. A VLCC carries 2 million barrels of oil. India, the world's third-biggest oil importer and consumer, has not received a cargo from Iran since May 2019 after coming under U.S. pressure not to buy the country's crude. Indian Oil Corp, the country's top refiner, has bought Iranian oil loaded on the Jaya, a vessel under U.S. sanctions, Reuters reported last week. India has also allowed Reliance Industries Ltd, the operator of the world's biggest refining complex, to buy Iranian oil loaded on the Comoros-flagged...

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has initiated a formal investigation into Rajasthan Royals (RR) team manager Romi Bhinder, who was spotted using a mobile phone in the dugout during the side's IPL 2026 match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in Guwahati. The incident, captured live by TV cameras at the ACA Stadium, showed Bhinder using a device while seated next to teenage left-handed opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi , who was looking at the screen. The footage has since gone viral and raised questions regarding a breach of the league's strict anti-corruption protocols. According to the IPL's Players and Match Officials Area (PMOA) regulations, a team manager may use a phone in the dressing room area but 'NOT' in the dugout. Saikia confirmed to IANS on Sunday that the BCCI Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) is currently verifying the details of the incident and has begun its probing exercise. "As per the PMOA regulations, certain individuals like t...

While Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar: The Revenge continues to wreak havoc at the box office-a spy thriller centred around Indian intelligence operations against terrorism in Pakistan-the film has been tagged as propaganda by many. However, the internet continues to be divided. Amid the rampage, an old video from IIFA's red carpet has resurfaced where a reporter asked several celebrities, "Have you ever thought about hosting IIFA in Pakistan?" From Anil Kapoor to Anupam Kher, several answered, but the reason the video is going viral after Dhurandhar 2 success, is R. Madhavan's and Arjun Rampal's quotes. They played Ajay Sanyal, the Director of the Intelligence Bureau (IB), and Major Iqbal, a ruthless ISI operative, respectively. What Did They Say? R. Madhavan's answer to the question was, "Yes, I would be the first to go. I just want to say to my Pakistani brothers and sisters, your love always reaches me through Twitter and Facebook. It makes me very ...

Over the past two weeks, two Bollywood films have dominated the conversation across print, video, and social media.  The spy thriller Dhurandhar 2 (still raking in the crores), and Ranbir Kapoor's Ramayana , whose polarising teaser sparked both massive buzz and intense trolling. This brings us to a filmmaker who mastered these two very different genres: the gritty spy thriller and the timeless sacred epic.  He was the man who gave India its first genuine, big-budget spy blockbuster and its most beloved on-screen Ramayan . His name was Chandramouli Chopra. Never heard of him? Don't worry. He changed his name, and the world came to know him as Ramanand Sagar. Yes, the same Ramanand Sagar who created the 1980s TV phenomenon Ramayan . A show that an entire generation claimed as their own, and one that, even today, is regarded as the gold standard of mythological storytelling. But long before he brought the gods to the small screen, he was busy defining the grammar of the In...

There is a certain image that every celebrity has to maintain when it comes to the glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry. Sameera Reddy recently got candid about splurging money on expensive items in the 2000s and how she stopped it. What's Happening In a candid conversation with Hauterfly, Sameera Reddy displayed some of her most luxe items worth lakhs. She has a horde of luxury bags, some even ranging between Rs 3 lakh-4 lakh-frivolous spending at its peak to gel with the image of showing one's success. Sameera Reddy said, "Back then I was a shopaholic." Recalling one of her luxury bag purchases, she said, "This is Dior Gaucho bag. This is from 2005. When I just started films, I felt like I needed all the latest bags. I remember this was one of the first bags I got. I bought these bags because I felt the pressure to fit in. People usually say how they love bags, but I really bought these things so that people will think I had arrived. Now when I...

Rajasthan Royals young sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi continued his golden run of form as the 15-year-old slammed a half-century off just 15 deliveries during the IPL 2026 match in Guwahati against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Friday. The knock consisted of seven fours and four sixes as the left-handed opener took the likes of Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar to the cleaners. Sooryavanshi started proceedings with two fours off Bhuvneshwar in the first over, and although Yashasvi Jaiswal was dismissed in the second over, the youngster continued his onslaught as he slammed three fours and one six in four consecutive deliveries against Hazlewood. This was the second time Sooryavanshi scored a 15-ball fifty after achieving the same against Chennai Super Kings earlier in IPL 2026 at the Barsapara Stadium. Fastest fifty by an Indian in IPL (by balls) 13 - Yashasvi Jaiswal (RR) vs KKR, Kolkata, 2023 14 - KL Rahul (PBKS) vs DC, Mohali, 2018 15 - Yusuf Pathan (KKR) vs SRH, Kolkata...

Pop culture and Bollywood often extend their influence beyond entertainment, shaping trends and reviving forgotten favourites. Following the success of Dhurandhar - Part One and Part Two, a classic desi beverage has found renewed popularity among audiences. If you have watched the film, you already know what we are referring to: doodh soda. What Is Doodh Soda? Made by mixing chilled milk with carbonated soda, doodh soda is typically sweetened with sugar and ice, and sometimes flavoured with rose syrup or other essences. Light, fizzy and refreshing, it is a drink closely associated with summer, especially in North India. In the film, Gaurav Gera's character Mohammad Aalam runs a juice shop in Lyari, Pakistan. His line, "Darling, darling, dil kyun toda. Peelo peelo, Aalam soda," served not only as a coded message within the story for Ranveer Singh's character Hamza , but also reignited curiosity and nostalgia for doodh soda among viewers. In Delhi, two modest shop...
