'Disappointing' As South Korea Flag Mishap Sees Asian Games End On Sour Note

South Korea's Asian Games football captain called it "disappointing" after the country's flag appeared to get stuck during the victory ceremony following their win over hosts Japan. Eom Ji-sung scored the only goal as South Korea won a fourth straight title with a 1-0 victory over Japan in the final at Toyota Stadium near Nagoya on Saturday evening. However, footage of the victory ceremony afterwards showed ceremonial officials struggling to raise South Korea's flag on the flagpole, sparking boos from Korean fans. "I believe an awards ceremony should be an occasion for celebration," said captain Lee Gi-hyuk, according to Yonhap News Agency. "We worked so hard to get here, so it was disappointing that they couldn't even properly unfurl the flag. "I imagine the players, as well as the fans who came all this way to support us, must have been unhappy about it too." According to South Korean media, the flag was eventually raised pro...

'KCR Is God, Surrounded By Some Devils': K Kavitha On Letter Leak

The internal differences within the Bharat Rashtra Samithi came to the fore on Friday with party MLC K Kavitha taking exception to the letter she wrote to her father and party president K Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) getting leaked.

She also said some conspiracies are being hatched in the party. KCR is like a god, but is surrounded by some devils, she claimed.

Speaking to reporters at the RGI airport here on Friday evening, after returning from the US, she wondered how an internal letter became public.

"Two weeks ago, I had written a letter to KCR ji. I had expressed my opinions to him earlier through letters. I had recently said that conspiracies are being hatched. The letter written by me internally to KCR ji became public. All of us in the party and the people of Telangana have to think about what is happening," she said.

She further said she had only expressed in her letter, after touring half of Telangana, what people are thinking and that she does not have any personal agenda.

Asked who is behind the conspiracy that she talked about, Ms Kavitha said: "KCR ji is a god. But, there are some devils around him. A lot of damage is being caused because of them. I am KCR's daughter. If the letter written by me internally became public, there should be a debate about the fate of others in the party," she said.

She regularly gives such feedback to the party supremo, Ms Kavitha added.

Referring to Congress and BJP leaders' comments on the BRS after the letter was leaked, Ms Kavitha asserted that Mr Rao is her leader and the party would flourish for long if the "small defects" are corrected and the leaders who covertly help other parties are removed, she said.

Alleging that both Congress and BJP have failed Telangana, she said KCR's leadership is the alternative.

The handwritten "feedback" letter written by Kavitha to her father KCR, highlighting both the negative and positive aspects of the party's recent public meeting at Warangal, has sparked discussions in Telangana's political circles.

"As you ( KCR) spoke for just two minutes, some people began speculating that there will be a tie-up with the BJP in future. I even felt that you should have spoken strongly (against the BJP). It might be because I suffered (because of the BJP). But you should have targeted the BJP some more, daddy," Kavitha said in the letter, written in Telugu and English.

The BRS celebrated its silver jubilee in Warangal on April 27.

Ms Kavitha cited Mr Rao's silence in the meeting on key issues such as 42 per cent reservation for backward classes, Scheduled Caste categorisation, Waqf Amendment Act, and omission of Urdu from his address as reasons for the negative feedback.

She said the Congress government has lost its support at the grassroots level, and some BRS cadres now view the BJP as a viable alternative.

She added that a strong signal was sent to party workers when the BRS chose not to contest the recent MLC elections, suggesting it might align with the BJP.

Harvard Astrophysicist Says He Found Alien Tech From A Meteor: Report

A Harvard University astrophysicist claims to have made a significant advancement in the quest for extraterrestrial life. Professor Avi Loeb thinks he may have discovered pieces of alien technology from a meteor that crashed in 2014 off the coast of Papua New Guinea. According to CBS News , Loeb and his team just brought the materials back to Harvard for analysis. The U.S. Space Command can confirm with almost near certainty, 99.999%, that it came from another solar system. The government gave Loeb a 10-kilometre (6.2-mile) radius of where it may have landed. "That is where the fireball took place, and the government detected it from the Department of Defence. It's a very big area, the size of Boston, so we wanted to pin it down," said Loeb. "We figured the distance of the fireball based on the time delay between the arrival of the blast wave, the boom of the explosion, and the light that arrived quickly." According to USA Today, the fragments the team uncov...
