"Condemning Terrorism Should Be Our Principle, Not Convenience": PM Modi At BRICS Summit

Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a scathing attack on Pakistan for supporting terrorism and thanked nations that stood with India in condemning the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam. PM Modi's criticism of Pakistan came during his address at the BRICS Summit in Brazil. The Pakistan-linked terror attack in Pahalgam had killed 26 tourists, following which India launched Operation Sindoor and smashed terror infrastructure in Pakistan, along with military targets like airbases and anti-aircraft missile systems. PM Modi told world leaders at the BRICS Summit that India is a victim of terror while Pakistan is a supporter, and so victims and supporters cannot be weighed on the same scale. He also alluded to those who say or do nothing against the spread of terror for the sake of personal or political gain, and pointed out that giving silent consent to terrorists should not be acceptable. India has for the umpteenth time shown with clear evidence how Pakistan has ...

''House Of Horrors'': Woman Slept Next To Her Brother's Corpse For 5 Years

An elderly Australian woman spent up to five years sleeping next to her brother's rotting dead body in a rat-infested house in Victoria, Metro reported. The woman, aged in her 70s, lived with the corpse in her public housing unit on Russell Street at Newtown in Geelong, which is considered an affluent suburb.

Police made the horrifying discovery after arresting the woman on December 29, 2022, on an unrelated matter. Forensic officers, clad in biohazard suits, had to navigate through heaps of rubbish, rats, deceased possums, and human waste to reach the remains, which had turned into a skeleton.

The woman is understood to have slept next to the corpse anywhere between two and five years. Notably, the man was last seen alive in 2018 by some of the residents living along the street.  

However, the woman was released without charges in connection to the case and his cause of death is still being investigated. The house has been vacant for over a year.

"It was a bloody skeleton they removed, not a body. How can someone be living with a dead body next door for five years and not a single person knows about it? They've tried to sweep this under the rug. We have been living next to a house of horrors,'' neighbour Nicole Stratton told the Geelong Advertiser. 

The woman was a Department of Families, Fairness and Housing tenant, prompting questions about how the body could lie undiscovered for so long. Locals said they had tried to make complaints about the smell to several government bodies for years, however, they did not pay heed.

The neighbours believe the "utter filth" inside the home helped hide the smell of the dead body.

"There was always a smell but we just thought it was the piles of rubbish. The blinds were always down and you could see the mould on the back of them,'' Ms Stratton added. 

“Several welfare checks had been conducted at the property since 2021 due to growing concerns regarding lack of contact, lack of access and the poor state of the property,” a spokesperson of the Australian Department of Families, Fairness and Housing (DFFH) said.

They added, ''This is a tragic incident. We send our sincerest condolences to the man's family and friends.''

"Khala Ka Ghar Nahi...": Akhtar On India Having It Easy In Asia Cup Final

Sri Lanka defeated tournament favourties Pakistan to reach the final, and Akhtar feels that winning the final won't be a cakewalk for India. "We were not expecting that India would lose to a team like Bangladesh but they did. It was an embarrassing defeat. Pakistan lost to Sri Lanka. They are out of the Asia Cup, which is an even bigger embarrassment. India are still in the final. All is not lost for them. It was a great wakeup call for them to come back harder and make sure they secure victory in the finals but that will only happen if they play really well.

Why Trump's Claims About Americans Splitting The Atom Angers New Zealanders

Imagine a newly-elected president of a country claiming the legacy of someone as foundational as Thomas Edison. That's the kind of appropriation New Zealanders are witnessing. The recent inaugural address of President Donald Trump has sparked a heated debate over the origins of a groundbreaking scientific achievement: splitting the atom. Trump's claim that American experts were responsible for this feat has been met with swift correction from New Zealanders, who proudly assert that their native son, Sir Ernest Rutherford, was the true pioneer behind this discovery. Rutherford's achievement in 1917 at Victoria University of Manchester in England marked a pivotal moment in the history of nuclear physics. His work not only earned him a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1908 but also led to the discovery of radioactive half-life and the understanding that radioactivity involves the transmutation of one chemical element to another. Nick Smith, the mayor of Nelson, near Rutherford...
