Lufthansa said its ability to serve India is being “unnecessarily restricted”. Deutsche Lufthansa AG’s decision to scrap flights to India following a clash over coronavirus-related travel curbs illustrates just how difficult bringing back inter-continental flights is proving. Europe’s biggest airline said Tuesday it was pulling 23 weekly flights for the next three weeks after India’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation declined to sign off on the schedule. It complained that Germany had imposed stricter entry restrictions leading to an “inequitable distribution of traffic.” The falling-out, which shatters an accord in place for several months, shows how attempts to reopen international routes are being frustrated by parallel efforts to halt the virus’s spread. Germany has one of the lowest death-rates from Covid-19 in Europe, while India has the highest infection total after the U.S. “Air bubbles only work when implemented between countries with similar infection levels,” sai...

Image copyright Getty Images Image caption Takahiro Shiraishi after his arrest in 2017 A Japanese man has pleaded guilty to murdering nine people after contacting them on Twitter, in a high-profile case that has shocked the country. Dubbed the “Twitter killer”, Takahiro Shiraishi was arrested in 2017 after body parts were found in his flat. He told a court in Tokyo on Wednesday that the allegations against him “are all correct”. But his lawyers argue that his charges should be reduced because his victims apparently gave consent to be killed. If convicted of murder, Mr Shiraishi faces the death penalty, which is carried out by hanging in Japan. The court case has attracted wide interest, with more than 600 people lining up for 13 public gallery seats to watch the first hearing on Wednesday, reported public broadcaster NHK. What happened?

When Part 1 of this season’s Tell All began, Karine and Paul were conspicuously absent. There was no explanation from the show’s host. So what gives? On Sunday, September 27, Tell All host Shaun Robinson offered the briefest of throwaway lines to explain why Season 5’s end run was missing a couple. “Unfortunately, Paul and Karine are not able to join us,” she said briefly. “But,” Shaun continued, “we do wish them the best and hope they’re doing well.” That was not even close to an explanation of why they weren’t at the Tell All. It’s not like it was a physical place this year. Everybody participated via Zoom. So being in another country or unable to make the flight was not going to hold back anyone. Michael’s livestream was, notably, from Nigeria. Paul and Karine’s issues had nothing to do with video conferencing or scheduling. Instead, they had everything to do with the current controversy surrounding the couple and the accusations that the estranged coupl...

Genetic factors can also play a role in coronavirus, as the new findings make it clear. (File) Paris: Covid-19 patients with a snippet of Neanderthal DNA that crossed into the human genome some 60,000 years ago run a higher risk of severe complications from the disease, researchers have reported. People infected with the new coronavirus, for example, who carry the genetic coding bequeathed by our early human cousins are three times more likely to need mechanical ventilation, according to a study published Wednesday in Nature. There are many reasons why some people with Covid-19 wind up in intensive care and other have only light symptoms, or none at all. Advanced age, being a man, and pre-existing medical problems can all increase the odds of a serious outcome. But genetic factors can also play a role, as the new findings make it clear. “It is striking that the genetic heritage from Neanderthals has such tragic consequences during the current pandemic,” said co-author Svante...

Things don’t seem to go right for Chennai Super Kings in the IPL 2020 from the very beginning as 13 members of the group including 2 cricketers were found COVID-19 positive because of which they served the longest quarantine. Their troubles increased further when their star players Suresh Raina and Harbhajan Singh decided to pull out of the tournament due to personal reasons. They started the tournament on a winning note by defeating Mumbai Indians in the league opener but after that, they have lost 2 matches consecutively and now they are at the bottom of the points table. It may sound a little difficult to believe as Dhoni led CSK has never seen such bad days, however this is the real picture as of now. What made matters worse was that Ambati Rayudu also got injured and their batting seems to struggle at the moment. In fact, MS Dhoni is also getting criticised because he didn’t bat up in the order when his team needed him to score runs at a fast pace. Though CSK is not the only te...

The petition sought to “reclaim” Krishna Janmabhoomi (Representational) New Delhi: After the Ayodhya Ram temple case, a petition asking for the removal of a mosque near Krishna Janmabhoomi or what is said to be the birthplace of Lord Krishna in Uttar Pradesh’s Mathura was dismissed by a court today. A petition filed in a civil court in Mathura last week sought to “reclaim” Krishna Janmabhoomi, claiming that Mughal emperor Aurangzeb had destroyed a part of a temple at the site believed to be the birthplace of Lord Krishna. It called for a mosque next to the temple to be removed. The court refused to admit the suit citing a law that bars litigation that alters status quo of 1947 at any religious place; the law, the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act, 1991, had exempted the Ayodhya ownership dispute. “Every inch of the land… is sacred for the devotees of Lord Shri Krishna and the Hindu community,” lawyer Vishnu Jain had said in his suit asking for 13.37 acres of the site, ...

The IPL match which was played between Kings XI Punjab and Rajasthan Royals on September 27 will certainly go down in the history of IPL as one of the most entertaining and memorable matches of the tournament. Rahul Tewatia has become a household name after this match as he has made everyone learn an important lesson that you should never give up and should also not write-off anyone. When Tewatia came to bat, RR needed to score runs at a good run rate but he made things worse because he was not able to connect with the ball and was also having problems in rotating the strike. There came a moment when everyone was sure that Punjab would win the match as Tewatia was playing in the test match mode. In the first 19 balls that he played, he scored only 8 runs while the team required scoring at the run rate of 17. Nevertheless, Rahul Tewatia changed the whole scenario in the 18 th over when the West Indian pacer Sheldon Cottrell came to bowl. Tewatia slashed 5 sixes in that over, adding ...

It is absolutely true that if you want to be successful in life, you should either choose that work as your job or profession which you love to do the most or you should fall in love with whatever job you have. However, it is a sad reality that majority of people don’t like their job and keep on cribbing for some or other reason. There is no denying the fact that finding a good job is really a difficult task but what if we tell you that there is a job in which you have to literally watch TV shows sitting at home on the couch in the pyjamas and you will be paid a handsome amount of £300 which comes to approx. Rs. 28,500 in the Indian currency.
