'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...

"Don't Want To Speak Bad Of...": Maxwell Floats Epstein-Diana Date Setup

Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted associate of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has suggested that he may have been arranged for a date with the late Princess Diana, according to tapes released by the Department of Justice on Friday. 

Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking young girls to be abused by Epstein, and is currently seeking a pardon from US President Donald Trump.

While being interviewed by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche last month, Maxwell told him that before she met Epstein, he lived in London and "met and knew some truly fancy people", which included Diana's best friend. "Her name was Rosa Monckton. And Rosa's husband, Dominic Lawson, who's a famous journalist," she said. 

Maxwell added that Epstein had attended a big event in London without her, organised by Rosa. "I don't know if he sat with Diana or he met with Diana and he'd already met her. I don't know, but this, I believe was organized by Rosa," she said, adding, "I don't know if she was being set up as a date for him, maybe because she-I don't want to speak bad of Diana, but-I'm not going to do that."

Although Maxwell says that she believes the events where Epstein and Diana could have possibly met took place in the early 2000s, Diana died in a car crash in Paris on August 31, 1997.

She denied that she introduced Epstein to the royals, saying, "That is a flat untruth," per The Daily Beast. 

Author and journalist Michael Wolff also wrote in his book that Trump and Epstein competed over who would sleep with Diana first, "There was one point in which they had a competition about who would be the first one to sleep with Princess Diana. Now, I don't think that ever happened".

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...
