Asian Games organisers offered "deepest apologies" on Saturday for playing the North Korean national anthem for the South Korean men's hockey team. South Korean officials were left angered by the latest mishap to hit the Nagoya-Aichi Games, which officially opened after a troubled build-up. At their Friday contest against Bangladesh, South Korea's players lined up for the traditional playing of the anthems, only to look bemused as North Korea's song rang out. Organisers then played Bangladesh's anthem and later the South Korean one, the South's Yonhap news agency said. South Korea went on to win 5-0. "During the men's hockey match between (South) Korea and Bangladesh on September 18, an incorrect national anthem was mistakenly played before the match," the Asian Games organising committee told AFP on Saturday. The statement said that, on Friday, "officials responsible for (National Olympic Committee) relations visited the delegation ...
Hollywood actor Jeremy Renner, who survived after being crushed under a snowplough on New Year' Day, has shared update on his ongoing recovery. The 52-year-old added a photo and video to his Instagram Story that showed tubes in his nose while he used a hyperbaric oxygen chamber and the actor working out his legs, which are filled with "titanium". Mr Renner broke more than 30 bones in January when he was crushed by a seven-tonne snowplough. He spent a few weeks in hospital and since then, has been recovering at home.
The latest Instagram photo was captioned "Sending love from O2 chamber". The video he shared carried the caption, "Knees/ankles recalibrating. Strengthening around the titanium to set up for later rounds in life."
He also shared the same video on Twitter.

Mr Renner had revealed earlier this month that he is using a hyperbaric oxygen chamber twice a day. These chambers create an environment in which users can breathe 100 per cent oxygen as opposed to the 21 per cent found in air.
They help in speeding up the healing process by allowing the lungs to absorb more oxygen and pass it into the bloodstream.
The actor told The New York Times in April that he'd "lost a lot of flesh and bone" but "has been refilled with love and titanium".
Mr Renner suffered blunt chest trauma after a snowplough ran over him at his property outside Reno, Nevada, when he was trying to save his nephew.
The actor had to be flown to the hospital in an air ambulance and underwent treatment in intensive care.
In April, he paid a visit to the hospital staff who saved his life following the accident. He also made his red carpet return in Los Angeles for the premiere of his Disney+ show Rennervations.
