SUDAN World's last male white rhino dies The world's last male white rhino has died leaving only two females left to save the species from extinction. The 45-year-old rhino named Sudan had been in poor health in recent days and was being treated for age-related issues and multiple infections. A veterinary team made the decision to euthanize Sudan after his condition deteriorated significantly, the conservation group WildAid announced Tuesday. Sudan lived in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya, surrounded by armed guards in the days leading up to his death. "We can only hope that the world learns from the sad loss of Sudan and takes every measure to end all trade in rhino horn. While prices of rhino horn are falling in China and Vietnam, poaching for horn still threatens all rhino species," said WildAid CEO Peter Knights.

Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao made a strong pitch for forging a non-Congress and non-BJP alternative at the Central level Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao made a strong pitch for forging a non-Congress and non-BJP alternative at the Central level as according to him governments headed by the two parties have failed to live up to expectations. “Over 70 years after Independence, the country is still faced with rampant unemployment and farmers’ suicides as the coalitions headed by the two principal parties utterly failed in keeping their assurances. Rather than ensuring a united country moving towards progress, we have seen divisions being created between the people for political gains,” he said. Mr. Rao was addressing a gathering at Pragati Bhavan, his camp office, on Sunday. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamta Banerjee, Jharkhand former Chief Minister Hemant Soren and a few MPs from Maharashtra called the Chief Minister over telephone an...

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based monitoring group, says fighting on the ground intensified there on Saturday. Rebels responded by shelling nearby Damascus. Some 393,000 people are trapped in the Eastern Ghouta, which has been besieged by the government since 2013. Food and medical stocks are dwindling, and aid trucks are unable to get in.

Three 10-year-old girls and an 11-year-old boy were among the youngest to wed, under legal loopholes which allow minors to marry in certain circumstances. The minimum age for marriage across most of the US is 18, but every state has exemptions – such as parental consent or pregnancy – which allow younger children to tie the knot At least 207,468 minors married in the US between 2000 and 2015, according to data compiled by Unchained At Last, a group campaigning to abolish child marriage, and investigative documentary series Frontline. The true figure is likely to be much higher because 10 states provided no or incomplete statistics. Fraidy Reiss, the founder of Unchained at Last, said she was "literally shaking" when she first obtained data for New Jersey, where her group is based. Nearly 3,500 ...

Putin boasts about Russia's unstoppable nuclear weapons Russia has tested an array of new strategic nuclear weapons that can't be intercepted, President Vladimir Putin has announced. The proclamation marks a technological breakthrough that could dramatically increase Russia's military capability, boost the Kremlin's global position and also raise Western concerns about a potential renewed arms race in the 21st century. Speaking in a state-of-the-nation speech, Mr Putin said the weapons include a nuclear-powered cruise missile, a nuclear-powered underwater drone and new hypersonic missile that have no equivalent elsewhere in the world. He said the creation of the new weapons has made NATO's US-led missile defence "useless," and means an effective end to what he described as Western efforts to stymie Russia's development. "I want to tell all those who have fuelled the arms race over the last 15 years, sought to win unilateral ad...

Astronomers detect signal from the dawn of the universe, using simple antenna in WA outback Ground-based radio antenna in western Australia that resembles a dining room table has detected evidence of the earliest-known stars that illuminated an infant universe shrouded in darkness following its formation in the Big Bang. Scientists said on Wednesday faint signals of hydrogen gas spotted by the instrument indicated the presence of stars some 180 million years after the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago, when the universe was less than 2 percent of its current age. Hydrogen was the universe's most common element then, as it still is now. While these early stars were not directly observed, ultraviolet radiation they emitted altered the properties of the surrounding hydrogen gas, causing the hydrogen to absorb background radio waves from the Big Bang's afterglow and enable detection. Arizona State University cosmologist Judd Bowman said the observations confirm ...
