Michel Nkuka Mboladinga, known as Lumumba Vea, gained fame during the Africa Cup of Nations for posing as a statue of Congo’s assassinated independence leader Patrice Lumumba for the entirety of games

Lumumba was an activist who helped to end Belgium’s colonial rule over Congo in 1960. He became the newly independent country’s first prime minister and was seen as one of Africa’s most promising leaders, but he was assassinated within a year during a struggle against a Belgian-backed secessionist movement in the mineral-rich Katanga region.

A Belgian court in March ordered a 93-year-old former diplomat to stand trial for the slaying. Etienne Davignon, who previously denied wrongdoing, is the last living among 10 Belgians suspected of involvement in the killing and has been charged with “participation in war crimes” for his role in the “unlawful detention and transfer” of Lumumba.

In a stunning convergence of science and nature, our satellite-tagged turtles are helping decode an ancient oceanic map ! As the Southwest Monsoon sets in, several Olive Ridleys have moved towards the southern Bay of Bengal and the waters around Sri Lanka, to seasonal hotspots where warm Bay waters meet cooler Indian Ocean currents. This oceanic mixing fuels a burst of marine productivity, creating rich feeding grounds that turtles have navigated to for millions of years. Long before satellites, they knew exactly where to go. Today, Tamil Nadu Forest Department’s pioneering satellite-tagging project is helping us understand how these remarkable navigators read the ocean and connect distant marine ecosystems Credits- TN Turtle Telemetry Project in partnership with Dr @sureshwii , @wii_india @Aiwcrteofficial & @tnforestdept #TNForest

Absolutely incredible scenes in Ahmedabad. india just hammered Bahrain in three straight sets in the Asian Volleyball Confederation Championships, their 4th win in a row.
Bahrain are the defending champions, and India go top of the group while clinching their semi- final berth

Ex cricketers who never played/benefitted from the IPL, using quite damning language on current players who are playing the IPL, simply have no idea.
Zero clue whatsoever!
But, let them be.....
I SUPPORT THE PLAYERS! 🙏🏻

What will hurt GT more than anything else is that all the top order batters got starts. None of them got out in single digits, and yet, other than Sundar, nobody finished with an innings of substance.
Great bowling, spot on execution, but also timid batting.

#Diversity is the insurance for the future.

Seeds of different species often fall beneath trees where hornbills nest. This is how these magnificent birds help regenerate forests; and why they are rightly called the “farmers of the forest.” Today is #BiodiversityDay.

But how do they do it?

India is home to 9 species of hornbills. During the nesting season, the female seals herself inside the nest cavity to incubate and raise the chick. For nearly 3–4 months, the male takes complete responsibility for feeding the family.

During this period, the male continuously collects fruits and figs from across the forest and brings them to the nest. Hornbills swallow fruits whole, with the seeds remaining intact.

The transfer, however, is not always smooth. Many seeds fall during flight, feeding, or transportation. As a result, seeds get dispersed far and wide across the forest, helping new plants and trees grow in different areas.

Protecting biodiversity therefore also means protecting these incredible species that silently work every day to keep forests alive.

Primeminister of India, Narendra Modi, would not take my question, I was not expecting him to.

Norway has the number one spot on the World Press Freedom Index, India is at 157th, competing with Palestine, Emirates & Cuba.

It is our job to question the powers we cooperate with.

[Kapil @kapsology]

A note to journalists around the world:

If the PM of India visits your country, please ask him questions, because in India he has not faced a press conference for the last 12 years.

For the sake of the journalistic community, please do us this favor.

RT for good karma.

[Helle Lyng @HelleLyngSvends]

Journalism is sometimes confrontational. We seek answers. If any interview subject, especially with power, do not answer what I asked, I will try to interrupt and get a more focused response. That is my job & duty. I want answers and not just talking points.

I know a lot of fans would be gutted, but the way CSK have turned this around with a young squad is commendable.

The change of approach hasn’t given a play off birth but “FLEMING AND RUTU” have flicked the switch on.

Patience and perseverance with these boys and this could be a lethal team.🤝

[Robert Lewandowski @lewy_official]

After four years full of challenges and hard work, it's time to move on.

I leave with the feeling that the mission is complete. 4 seasons, 3 championships.

I will never forget the love I received from the fans from my very first days.
Catalonia is my place on earth.

Thank you to everyone I met along the way during these beautiful four years.
A special thank you to President Laporta for giving me the chance to live the most incredible chapter of my career.

Barça is back where it belongs.
Visca el Barça. Visca Catalunya 💙❤️
