Brazilian influencer flees after sentencing fatal road accident An international alert has been issued due to this matter
According to reports, on May 4, a Manaus court sentenced Dantas to three years in prison for negligent homicide. The judge also ordered sanctions including a driving ban and a fine. The accident occurred on August 31, 2023, when Dantas was driving an SUV and collided with a motorcycle at a junction. The victim, da Silva, fell from his bike, hit a metal pole, and later died in hospital after cardiac arrest.Officials said the sentence was to be served under a semi-open regime, meaning he would be allowed to work or study during the day but would be required to return to a controlled facility at night. However, before reporting to serve his sentence, he reportedly left the country.Police have now confirmed that he is being treated as a fugitive. His name has been added to Brazil’s National Register of Arrest Warrants, and Interpol has also been notified for help in locating his location. Authorities are working with international agencies as the search continues.Dantas had over 50,000 followers online and was known for posting content about her daily life and pets, including exotic animals. After the accident, she publicly stated that she had helped at the scene and called it a tragedy, but witnesses and footage reportedly cast doubt on her actions.This case is continuously attracting people’s attention as the authorities are trying to trace him and complete the legal process.
India expresses concern over Hormuz, Gaza Straits at BRICS summit
BRIC Nations must find “practical ways” to deal with geopolitical turmoil and “unilateral coercive” sanctions.Addressing the opening day of the two-day BRICS summit, Jaishankar said respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity must remain at the center of international relations, stressing that “dialogue and diplomacy” provide the only lasting path to conflict resolution.Jaishankar said, “The conflict in West Asia needs special attention. Continued tensions, risks to maritime traffic and disruptions to energy infrastructure highlight the fragility of the situation.”They stressed that safe and unimpeded maritime flows through international waterways, including the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea, are vital for global economic well-being.The Minister also expressed concern over the humanitarian situation in Gaza and reiterated India’s support for a peaceful resolution of the conflict.“The wider region also gives rise to grave concerns. The conflict in Gaza has serious humanitarian implications.“A sustainable ceasefire, humanitarian access and a credible pathway to a durable and peaceful solution are essential. As far as the Palestine issue is concerned, India supports a two-state solution,” he said.Jaishankar also referred to the situations in Sudan, Yemen and Libya, as well as the challenges facing Lebanon and Syria, and called for continued international involvement and coordinated diplomatic efforts.“Taken together, they underline a clear reality: stability cannot be selective, and peace cannot happen in pieces. It is essential to uphold international law, protect civilians, and avoid targeting public infrastructure,” he said.He said India stands ready to contribute constructively to efforts to reduce tensions and support initiatives aimed at restoring stability.Without naming any country, Jaishankar also underlined the need to address what he described as “increasing resort to unilateral coercive measures and sanctions inconsistent with international law and the UN Charter”.“Such measures disproportionately impact developing countries,” he said. “These unfair measures cannot replace dialogue, nor can pressure replace diplomacy.”The minister described terrorism as a “constant threat” and said terrorism cannot be justified in any form.“Cross-border terrorism violates the basic principles of international relations. Zero tolerance must remain an uncompromising and universal norm,” he said.Jaishankar also highlighted concerns over trust, transparency and equitable access in the face of rapid technological advancements and stressed the need to bridge the digital divide.On climate change, he said climate action must go hand in hand with climate justice, supported by credible commitments, adequate financing and accessible support.The External Affairs Minister also stressed on reforms in the United Nations Security Council.He said, “Despite mounting challenges, the multilateral system is unfortunately weakening. The state of the United Nations, which lies at its core, is particularly worrying. With each passing day, the case for reformed multilateralism is becoming stronger.”“This includes reform of the UN Security Council in both the permanent and non-permanent categories. Continued delays come at a high cost,” he said.“The message of our times is clear: cooperation is essential, dialogue is essential, and reform is overdue. Jaishankar said, we must work together to shape a more stable, equitable and inclusive international order.The meeting hosted by India assumes significance as the BRICS grouping is grappling with the economic consequences of the West Asia crisis, particularly disruption in energy supplies, as well as Washington’s policy on trade and tariffs.Leaders attending the conference include Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Brazil’s Mauro Vieira, Indonesian Foreign Minister Sugiono and South Africa’s International Relations Minister Ronald Lamola.India, which currently chairs BRICS, is hosting the foreign ministers’ conference ahead of the group’s annual summit in September.

A shocking new study reveals that farming 370 billion crickets each year may actually feel painful.
Proceedings of the Royal Society B This calls into question the long-held belief that crickets are simple creatures that respond to stimuli like robots. Scientists noticed something interesting: Crickets seem to take care of themselves by only caring for injured body parts and ignoring those that are fine. This suggests that they may feel pain in more complex ways than we previously thought. As a result, there is now a conversation about whether these insects have any kind of consciousness, leading us to consider how ethical it is to continue an industry without proper legal guidelines for their welfare.
Research shows that 370 billion are cultivated acheta domesticus may feel pain
Researchers found that house crickets (Acheta domesticus) don’t just respond immediately to heat or injury; They display ‘flexible self-protection’. After an injury, crickets were observed repeatedly grooming and protecting a specific site of injury, a study reported in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B. This behavior indicates that the insect’s nervous system is processing the injury as a permanent, negative state rather than a transient response. This difference is important in animal sensation research, as it suggests the presence of a felt experience of pain.
Why does cricket behavior suggest true emotion?
Nociception simply involves the detection of noxious stimuli. Pain, on the other hand, is how we emotionally experience that loss. Research shows that crickets do more than sense danger; Their protective actions vary depending on the situation. When scientists applied varying degrees of heat or mechanical stress, the crickets showed a preference for protecting injured organs. This behavior indicates a brain response similar to that of vertebrates. It seems that crickets can process sensory details into a complex internal state similar to pain, a study reported in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
370 billion reasons to rethink animal welfare
Every year, 370 billion crickets are raised in farms, potentially causing enormous amounts of suffering, according to the Journal of Insects as Food and Feed. Currently many farmers kill these insects by cutting them into pieces, boiling them or freezing them slowly because they believe that crickets do not feel pain. Should crickets have the ability to experience pain, these methods could represent a significant animal welfare issue. Therefore, the research points to the urgent need for the industry to create humane ways to kill crickets and provide better living conditions. This approach should mirror the standards applied to farm animals such as cows and pigs to reduce the crisis on a larger scale.
Why were invertebrates left behind?
The discovery of insect pain creates a significant regulatory void. Most animal welfare laws around the world explicitly exclude invertebrates, leaving billions of sentient creatures without legal protection. Ethicists are now calling for a precautionary principle approach: if there is a reasonable possibility that an animal may suffer, we should act as if it does. This could lead to new international standards for the housing, transportation and killing of insects, which would fundamentally change the economics and operations of the global alternative protein market.
NEET UG exam 2026 rescheduled to June 21 after paper leak controversy
New Delhi: National Testing Agency announced re-examination on Friday NEET (UG) 2026 will be held on Sunday, June 21.The decision comes days after the agency canceled NEET-UG The exam was held on May 3 following allegations of irregularities, impacting lakhs of medical aspirants across the country.Earlier, the government had also ordered a comprehensive Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into alleged irregularities in the examination.By canceling the exam before NTA Said that the decision was taken “in the interest of students” and to protect public confidence in the national examination system.“Based on the information examined by NTA in coordination with central agencies and investigation findings shared by law enforcement agencies, with the approval of the Government of India, the National Testing Agency has decided to cancel the NEET (UG) 2026 examination held on 3 May 2026 and re-conduct the examination on dates to be notified separately,” the agency posted on Twitter.It said, “The inputs received by the NTA, coupled with the findings shared by the law enforcement agencies, have established that the current examination process cannot be allowed to persist.

Why was NEET-UG 2026 cancelled?
The move comes days after investigators uncovered evidence that a question set described by officials as a “guess paper” was circulated among candidates weeks before the exam and reportedly contained a large number of questions that closely resembled the actual NEET paper.According to investigators, a document containing approximately 410 questions was circulating among students between 15 days to a month before the exam. Officials said around 120 questions from the Chemistry section reportedly exactly matched the actual exam paper.Officials also claimed that the material was shared through WhatsApp groups around 42 hours before the exam. The Special Operations Group (SOG) of Rajasthan Police, which is leading the preliminary investigation, began the probe after reports emerged that the material circulated showed “striking similarities” with the questions asked in the exam.SOG additional director general Vishal Bansal said investigators were probing whether the material was merely a test series or part of a larger organized fraud racket. “Our investigation is currently focused on determining whether any fraudulent or criminal activity has taken place based on this estimate letter,” Bansal said, as reported by ANI.“We are actively investigating this matter and are currently engaged in the investigative process. No, as of now, we have not made any arrests of any kind.”Bansal said investigators found a set of more than 400 questions circulated a few days before the exam, in which more than 100 biology and chemistry questions showed “striking similarities” with questions asked in NEET.Bansal described it as a “guess paper” or test series, but sources said a deep nexus has not been ruled out, citing searches and interrogations in several cities of Rajasthan and Dehradun.Similar videos and copies of test-series question papers were also shared on social media from a coaching academy in Latur, Maharashtra.

Donald Trump on US-China talks
us President donald trump Chinese President said Xi Jinping Wants the Strait of Hormuz to be reopened, as the two leaders discussed the ongoing Iran conflict and global energy disruptions during high-level talks in Beijing.Speaking to Fox News after his meeting with Xi, Trump said the two leaders agreed that the strategically important shipping route, closed since the Iran war began in late February, should be reopened to stabilize global energy supplies.“He would like to see the Strait of Hormuz open,” Trump said of Xi. “He said if I can help in any way, I’d like to help.”About 20 percent of the world’s oil passed through the Strait of Hormuz before the conflict began, with the prolonged disruption causing global crude prices to rise sharply and raising fears of a broader economic recession.Trump said Xi opposed any proposal to impose tolls on ships transiting the strait and expressed interest in China potentially buying more US oil in the future to reduce its dependence on Gulf energy supplies.
Iran, economy dominate Trump-Xi talks
The Iran conflict emerged as a major focus during the two-hour meeting between the leaders at the Great Hall of the People, although Trump had downplayed the issue before visiting Beijing.US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said before the summit that Washington would urge Beijing to pressure Tehran to end the conflict.“Economies are melting down because of this crisis,” Rubio said, as quoted by the AP, warning that prolonged instability would ultimately hurt Chinese exports as well.China has publicly criticized US and Israeli attacks on Iran, but analysts say Beijing enjoys considerable leverage as Iran’s largest trading partner.
Despite tensions, Trump praised relations with Xi
Concluding his visit, Trump stressed that relations between Washington and Beijing were improving despite disagreements over Iran, Taiwan and trade.In the Truth Social post, Trump claimed Xi had congratulated him on his administration’s “tremendous successes” and said the Chinese leader’s comments about America being a “declining nation” were directed at former President Joe Biden rather than the current administration.“Two years ago, we were truly a nation in decline,” Trump wrote. “But now, the United States is the hottest nation in the world.”Xi also hosted Trump at Zhongnanhai, a Chinese leadership compound usually reserved for special diplomatic engagements, which observers saw as a personal gesture toward the US president.
Taiwan remains a major flashpoint
Despite the cordial public tone, Taiwan remained a sensitive issue during the summit.According to news agency AP, Xi privately warned Trump that mishandling the Taiwan issue could push the two countries toward “conflict and even conflict.”Rubio later said that US policy on Taiwan would remain “unchanged” and warned that it would be “a terrible mistake” for China to attempt to take over the self-ruled island by force.Trump and Xi also discussed potential trade deals, including increasing Chinese purchases of American agricultural products and Boeing aircraft, as both sides sought to ease economic tensions amid broader geopolitical uncertainty.
CBI searched 7 places in 3 cities
New Delhi: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Thursday conducted searches at seven locations in Mumbai, Gurugram and Bengaluru in connection with a case. Reliance Communications Ltd. (RCom), one of the companies under the Anil Ambani-led Reliance ADA Group.The searches were conducted at the residential premises of the then Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and directors of the company who served during the period 2015-2017.

France World Cup 2026 squad: Eduardo Camavinga left out as Kylian Mbappe leads strong side
France unveiled a talent-packed squad for the upcoming World Cup on Thursday, although there was one key name missing from Didier Deschamps’ final selection – Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga. Ranked No. 1 in the latest FIFA Men’s World Rankings, France enter the tournament as one of the strongest contenders.
Captain Kylian Mbappe headlines the team alongside attacking stars Ousmane Dembele and Michael Olise. The midfield will feature Aurelien Tchoumeni and the experienced N’Golo Kante, while the defense consists of William Saliba, Jules Kounde and Theo Hernandez. Mike Maignan will serve as the team’s first-choice goalkeeper.
Despite being part of France’s runner-up squad at the 2022 World Cup and featuring in March international fixtures, Camavinga failed to make the final 26-man list. At club level, he has recently fallen behind Thiago Pitarch in Real Madrid’s midfield pecking order.
“He had a difficult season where he played less. He also had injuries,” Deschamps was quoted as saying by Reuters. “It is true that he is a player who came to us very early. He is still a young player.
“Because I also have options to build the team structure, there should be equality between defenders, midfielders and forwards. But I understand and I imagine their huge disappointment this evening.”
Deschamps chose Brice Samba and Robin Risser as Maignan’s students, the latter gaining recognition after an impressive Ligue 1 campaign. His inclusion meant there was no room for Lucas Chevalier, who lost his starting role at Paris Saint-Germain to Matvei Safonov earlier this year.
Before heading to their World Cup training base in Boston, France are scheduled to play warm-up matches against Ivory Coast and Northern Ireland. Their Group I campaign begins against Senegal on June 16, followed by matches against Iraq on June 22 and Norway on June 26.
Other high-profile omissions include Tottenham forward Randal Kolo Muani and Rennes striker Esteban Lepaul, who finished as Ligue 1’s top scorer this season. Meanwhile, Jean-Philippe Mateta was recalled despite missing the March friendlies while recovering from a knee injury. He is expected to help cover for the absence of Hugo Ekitike, who has been ruled out with a ruptured Achilles tendon.
The tournament is also expected to mark Deschamps’ final World Cup in charge of France. The manager led Les Bleus to World Cup glory in 2018 and is widely tipped to hand over the reins to French icon Zinedine Zidane after the competition. France had previously won the trophy on home soil in 1998.

The Baltimore Ravens and Los Angeles Chargers have emerged as potential suits for the All-Pro wide receiver
NFL Trade Rumors: The Baltimore Ravens and Los Angeles Chargers have emerged as potential suits for the All-Pro wide receiver (Getty).
The future of Tyreek Hill has quietly become one of the biggest stories surrounding the current NFL trade rumors. The veteran wide receiver is still unsigned after battling a serious knee injury last season, and many teams around the league continue to debate whether he can still change the game at age 32.Despite the uncertainty, contenders continue to watch closely. That’s why the Baltimore Ravens and Los Angeles Chargers have now emerged as two realistic landing spots for Hill before training camp begins. Both teams want to compete for the playoffs immediately, and both offenses still need another proven playmaker.
NFL trade rumors: Ravens and Chargers linked to Tyreek Hill as free agency questions continue
On May 14, LWOS analyst Anthony Palacios named the Baltimore Ravens and Los Angeles Chargers as teams that could still make sense for Tyreek Hill. The discussion gained momentum after NFL insider Jason La Canfora shared an anonymous general manager’s candid assessment during a SportsBoom interview discussing Hill’s market.“If he can’t get on top of the defense now, why are you bringing him in?” The GM told La Canfora. “I think he’ll have to wait a long time. That’s not an option for us.”That quote spread quickly because it highlighted the biggest concern surrounding Hill. Teams are unsure whether the explosiveness that made him dangerous in Kansas City and Miami is still there after the injury.Still, the Baltimore Ravens seem to be a natural fit. Baltimore has repeatedly targeted veteran receivers in recent years while building around Lamar Jackson. The front office previously added names like Odell Beckham Jr., DeSean Jackson and DeAndre Hopkins in hopes of strengthening the passing attack.The Ravens already have Jay Flowers and Rashod Bateman, but Hill could still add another layer to the offense. Baltimore no longer needs him to dominate in goal. The team just needs him to create matchup problems at critical moments during playoff games.Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Chargers are also standing out for an important reason. Offensive coordinator Mike McDaniels already knows Hill well from their time together in Miami. That familiarity could make Los Angeles more comfortable taking a short-term gamble on the veteran receiver.The Chargers also haven’t added any other key veteran players this offseason. Right now, the offense is still relying heavily on Ladd McConkey to carry the receiving unit.Nothing seems imminent yet, but once training camp injuries start popping up around the league, Tyreek Hill trade rumors could become serious again.
