'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.

"I believe an awards ceremony should be an occasion for celebration," said captain Lee Gi-hyuk, according to Yonhap News Agency.

UP Man's Wife Dies, He Marries Sister. Then Climbs Tower To Marry 3rd Sister

In a "high-voltage" drama in Uttar Pradesh's Kannauj, a married man climbed an electricity tower allegedly demanding that he be married to his sister-in-law.

Raj Saxena first got married to a woman in 2021. She, however, died due to a disease a year later, following which he married her sister.

After over two years, he then fell in love with her second sister and demanded that he get married to her.

On Thursday morning, he told his wife that he wanted to marry her sister. When she said no to his proposal, Saxena reprised a scene from the Bollywood film "Sholay" and climbed an electricity tower and started shouting about marrying his sister-in-law.

It took the police officers and his family members about seven hours to persuade him to come down, assuring him that he would be married to his sister-in-law.

Speaking to reporters later, Saxena said his sister-in-law also loves him.

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.
