(Representative Image) At a tourist attraction in China, a star goose with thousands of online admirers was killed by being kicked to death because it "scared" someone's child, according to the South China Morning Post. The shocking case of animal cruelty has incited a surge of rage among social media users, particularly Chinese users. The SCMP further stated that the wild goose named Da Bao was an online celebrity and a popular attraction at a tourist spot in Shijiazhuang, in Hebei province, in northern China.

However, the owner of the social media account recently announced that the gentle Da Bao had died after being kicked by a visitor who claimed the goose had frightened their child.

The chief executive of Call of Duty maker Activision Blizzard, Bobby Kotick, went before a federal judge on Wednesday to urge her to allow his company to be bought by Microsoft for $69 billion (nearly Rs. 5,66,300 crore). Kotick said that any effort to make Call of Duty exclusive to one platform, as Microsoft critics have said might happen, would alienate some 100 million people who play the game each month. "You would have a revolt if you were to remove the game from one platform," said Kotick. He said that removing Call of Duty from PlayStation, which is made by Sony Group, would be "very detrimental" to Activision's business. The Federal Trade Commission has asked a judge to stop the Microsoft acquisition temporarily in order to allow the agency's in-house judge to decide the case. In the past, the side that lost in federal court often conceded and the in-house process was scrapped. Much of the testimony in the trial has focused on Activision's

Carlos Alcaraz remains in the hunt for his first grass court title after the world number two beat former champion Grigor Dimitrov 6-4, 6-4 to reach the semi-finals at Queen's Club on Friday. Alcaraz admitted earlier in the week to watching videos of Roger Federer and Andy Murray to learn how to move on the grass and appears to be finding his feet on the surface ahead of Wimbledon next month. Since surviving a marathon first round encounter with French lucky loser Arthur Rinderknech, Alcaraz has not dropped a set to reach the last four in London. A break in the first game was enough to win the Spaniard the first set as Dimitrov missed three chances to break back in the sixth game. The Bulgarian, who won the Queen's title in 2014, got off to a flier in the second set as he led 3-0. Alcaraz battled back to lead 4-3, only to give the break back for 4-4. However, the US Open champion was gifted the chance to serve for the match when an error-strewn game from Dimitrov threw awa

The agency said that they had not found evidence of a specific incident that could have caused outbreak. Washington: U.S. intelligence agencies found no direct evidence that the COVID-19 pandemic stemmed from an incident at China's Wuhan Institute of Virology, a report declassified on Friday said. The four-page report said the intelligence agencies still could not rule out the possibility that the virus came from a laboratory, however, and had not been able to discover the origins of the pandemic. "The Central Intelligence Agency and another agency remain unable to determine the precise origin of the COVID-19 pandemic, as both (natural and lab) hypotheses rely on significant assumptions or face challenges with conflicting reporting," the report said. The agencies said that while "extensive work" had been conducted on coronaviruses at the Wuhan institute (WIV), they had not found evidence of a specific incident that could have caused the outbreak.

Chakra Project has taught yoga to over 65,000 people so far. New Delhi: Fifteen years ago, when Santhanam Sridharan, 37, quit the corporate world to learn the art of yoga, the world was still far less exposed to screen time and the pressures of multi-tasking and fighting lifestyle disorders were only building up. "Even then, I saw what was wrong with it. I didn't want that life. The toxic productivity, the focus seemed to be driven towards making a lot of money now so that you can spend on doctors later. That is not how anybody's life should be," he said, explaining why his views on getting a work-life balance became stronger. He is the founder of a yoga centre now that goes beyond just a yoga class, focussing on building a community of people who help each other in their pursuit of a deep sense of all-around well-being.

Usman Khawaja ended his decade-long wait for a maiden Test hundred in England as he led an Australia recovery in the Ashes opener at Edgbaston on Saturday. Australia were struggling at 67-3 after Stuart Broad struck twice in two balls to remove David Warner and Marnus Labuschagne before England captain Ben Stokes captured the prize wicket of star batsman Steve Smith. But they had recovered to 311-5 at stumps on the second day of this five-match series, with opening batsman Khawaja 126 not out and wicketkeeper Alex Carey unbeaten on 52 in an unbroken stand of 91. That still left Australia 82 runs behind England's first-innings 393-8 declared built on Joe Root's 118 not out.

The rare Bronze Age sword was unearthed from a burial site. A sword from a Bronze Age burial was found by archaeologists in Germany, and unexpectedly, it is still gleaming due to its excellent preservation. According to a statement issued on June 14 by the Bavarian State Office for Monument Protection, the 3,000-year-old sword was found in the graves of a man, woman, and child in the Bavarian town of Nordlingen. Although it appears that the trio were buried quickly after one another, it is unknown if they were linked. The sword has been preserved so exceptionally well that it practically still shines. A translation of the statement reveals that it is a representative of the bronze full-hilt swords (octagonal sword type), whose octagonal hilt is entirely made of bronze. According to a LiveScience report, archaeologists dated the sword to the end of the 14th century B.C. Sword discoveries from this time and region are rare, as many middle Bronze Age graves were looted over the mi

The drivers said the Delhi government was adamant on banning their services. New Delhi: A section of bike taxi drivers has sought Delhi LG V K Saxena's intervention in helping them stave off a Delhi government ban which proscribed them from plying on city roads in absence of a policy. The Delhi government had earlier in the week banned app-based taxi services such as Rapido and Uber in view of absence of a policy for plying of bike taxis on city roads. In a memorandum they handed over to LG's office, the drivers said the Delhi government was adamant on banning their services. "We will face difficulties in meeting household expenses, getting our children educated and getting our parents treated," read the memorandum. The Supreme Court had on Monday stayed a Delhi High Court order that essentially allowed Rapido and Uber to operate in the national capital by asking the Delhi government not to take any coercive action against them till a new policy was formulate

The US Federal Reserve voted Wednesday to pause its aggressive campaign of interest rate hikes. Washington: The US Federal Reserve voted Wednesday to pause its aggressive campaign of interest rate hikes despite "elevated" inflation, while indicating that another sharp increase could be needed before year-end. After 10 straight increases since March 2022, the Fed's rate-setting committee voted to hold its benchmark lending rate between 5.0 percent and 5.25 percent, the central bank said in a statement. Despite the Fed's aggressive campaign of monetary tightening, annual inflation remains stubbornly above its long-term target of two percent, while unemployment is close to record lows. Holding interest rates steady gives policymakers on the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) time "to assess additional information and its implications for monetary policy," the Fed said. The move was broadly in line with analysts' expectations. However, FOMC membe

Arvind Kejriwal said that government is taking radical steps to tackle the water problem in Delhi. New Delhi: Delhi's water crisis will be resolved within the next two-three years as the government is taking radical steps to tackle the problem, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Tuesday. In 2015, Delhi's water production stood at 850 million gallons per day (MGD). It has now increased to 1,000 MGD, he said at a press conference at the Delhi Secretariat.
