Lionel Messi could make his first start for Inter Miami following his dramatic winning-goal debut when his new team face Atlanta United in the Leagues Cup on Tuesday, coach Gerard Martino said.

But we all know that when Leo starts, that amount of time we would be talking about is 90 minutes," said the former Barcelona and Argentina coach.

Erratic behavior observed in some sharks. For so many years, US-bound drug smugglers have routinely trafficked massive amounts of cocaine from South and Central America and dumped it in the ocean, harming marine life there. The drugs get dumped there both to give them to smugglers and to evade law enforcement, not because currents and tides push them to shore. The thousands of sharks off Florida were ingesting the dumped narcotics. In "Cocaine Sharks," which is part of Discovery's Shark Week, Hird and University of Florida environmental scientist Tracy Fanara carry out a series of experiments to find out.  "The deeper story here is the way that chemicals, pharmaceuticals and illicit drugs are entering our waterways - entering our oceans - and what effect that they then could go on to have on these delicate ocean ecosystems," Hird told Live Science. According to The New York Post , Hird and Fantana dove underwater and noticed some sharks acting strangely

The West has completely emasculated and perverted this essence, Russsian President Putin said. Moscow:  President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday accused Western countries of perverting the expired Black Sea grain deal for their own ends, but said Russia would immediately return to the agreement if all its conditions were met.

UCC: Every religion in India follows its own personal law for property devolution New Delhi: For about three weeks now, the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) has ignited a debate around the diversity of the country that exists not just among its people but also in its laws.

So far, the commission has received over 27 lakh replies through emails, and the commission is likely to begin nation-wide public consultations and share a detailed questionnaire with citizens on the issue, sources told NDTV.

They have not opposed reforms in personal laws such as equality of inheritance, but held that a UCC can be an assault on the cultural identity of Muslims and diversity in traditions.
