Salman Objected To Malaika's Outfit In Munni Badnaam Hui, Reveals Director

As Dabangg gears up to mark its 15th anniversary, director Abhinav Kashyap has opened up about some behind-the-scenes stories from the blockbuster. One of the highlights of the film was the chartbuster item number Munni Badnaam Hui, featuring Malaika Arora. However, the director revealed that convincing Salman Khan and Arbaaz Khan to let Malaika be a part of the track wasn't easy. What's Happening Speaking to SCREEN , Abhinav Kashyap said that both Salman and Arbaaz initially had reservations about Malaika doing the number. According to him, Arbaaz wasn't comfortable with his then-wife being labelled an "item girl," while Salman raised objections over Malaika's outfits in the song. "Arbaaz and Salman, no matter whatever they say, are actually very conservative Muslims. Malaika also had her own differences with Salman over her outfits. They want their women covered up. So, they didn't want her to do the item song," the director shared. Abhi...

Ballon d'Or Criteria Explained: Did Rodri Deserve The Win Over Vinicius?

Manchester City and Spain midfielder Rodri bagged the Ballon d'Or 2024 title, beating Real Madrid duo Vinicius Jr. and Jude Bellingham to the top podium spot. The name of the winner was leaked on social media hours before the official announcement was made in a glittering ceremony in France, prompting an intense debate on social media. After Real Madrid decided not to travel to Paris, making their stance clear to boycott the event, it became clear that the leaks were, in fact, correct.

As Rodri was officially named the winner of the men's Ballon d'Or 2024, a section of fans expressed their disappointment, suggesting the Brazilian Vinicius should've bagged the prized individual honour. But, was Vinicius truly robbed of the award?

How is the Ballon d'Or winner decided?

According to UEFA, the Ballon d'Or honour is awarded every year by an international jury of specialised journalists, with one representative per country, from the top 100 in the latest FIFA rankings (before the lists are published) for men and the top 50 for women.

Each juror selects ten players in descending order of merit from a list of 30 established by the editorial staff of France Football, members of the editorial staff of L'Equipe, the best juror from the previous edition - Costa Rica for the men's Ballon d'Or, South Africa for the women's Ballon d'Or - and UEFA ambassadors Luis Figo for the men's trophy and Nadine Kessler for the women's trophy.

The ten selected players are awarded 15, 12, 10, 8, 7, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 point respectively. The Ballon d'Or is awarded to the player with the highest number of points.

On what basis do journalists vote?

While casting votes, a player's individual performances take first priority. The player's decisive contributions and character in top games take precedent while team performances, achievements, class and fairplay come next into consideration.

1) Individual performances, decisive and impressive character

2) Team performances and achievements

3) Class and fair play

Was Rodri the deserved Ballon d'Or winner?

Rodri was arguably Manchester City's most important player in the 2023-24 season, helping the team win its 4th consecutive league title. He was also named UEFA Euro 2024 Player of the Tournament as Spain clinched the title by beating England in the final.

The Spaniard is widely considered as the best No. 6 (defensive midfielder) in the game at present, with Manchester City barely losing a game when was in the team's starting XI. Rodri was also a pivotal player for Spain in their Euro 2024 campaign, providing the required balance between attack and defence that made La Roja worthy champions.

As for Vinicius, while his contributions for Real Madrid in the Champions League and Spanish La Liga, he wasn't as influential for Brazil. Controversies and chatter around his character and conduct didn't do his image a favour. Hence, it was Rodri who emerged triumphant in the Ballon d'Or race.

US Reopens Lake Michigan Airspace After Closure Over "National Defense"

US officials restricted the airspace over Lake Michigan on Sunday citing a potential new threat to national security but soon reopened the skies, as the United States and Canada respond to multiple air intrusions. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced "temporary flight restrictions" over one of the Great Lakes along the US-Canada border, designating it as "national defense airspace," one day after a similar closure over Montana led to the scrambling of US fighter jets. The Montana closure was ordered over a "radar anomaly," but no object was discovered. Similarly, the Lake Michigan restrictions were lifted shortly after they were announced, apparently with no threat detected. "The FAA briefly closed some airspace over Lake Michigan to support Department of Defense activities. The airspace has been reopened," the agency said in a statement to AFP. Sunday's action over Lake Michigan marked the latest move to address a series ...

US In Touch With China Over 'Spy Balloon', Says Pentagon Official

The United States has communicated with Beijing on the alleged Chinese surveillance balloon shot down on February 4, after Pentagon overtures were rebuffed for days, a defence official said Sunday. "There have been contacts made with the PRC on the high altitude balloon," Assistant Secretary of Defense Melissa Dalton told reporters, referring to the People's Republic of China. US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin asked to speak with Chinese counterparts shortly after an Air Force fighter shot down the Chinese balloon off the US east coast after it had traversed the entire country for days. But he got no response, even though the incident prompted Secretary of State Antony Blinken to cancel a long-planned diplomatic mission to Beijing. China said Thursday it refused the offer of a call with the US defence chief because of Washington's "irresponsible" decision to shoot down the balloon. "This irresponsible and seriously mistaken approach by the US did n...
