The visit is part of Operational Deployment of the Indian Navy’s Eastern Fleet to the South China Sea. This visit is poised to further strengthen the friendship and cooperation between the two maritime nations, the Ministry of Defence informed a press release.

    The visit by Indian Naval Ship Kiltan is focused on professional interactions, sports fixtures, social exchanges and community outreach reflecting the shared values ​​of both nations and navies. The visit will conclude with a Maritime Partnership Exercise at sea between the Indian Navy and Royal Brunei Navy. The two navies will undertake tactical evolutions which will bolster interoperability and exchange of best practices.

    INS Kiltan is the third of four P28 Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Corvettes indigenously designed and built by Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers (GRSE), Kolkata, the Ministry of Defence also said. Earlier on May 20, INS Delhi, INS Shakti and INS Kiltan arrived in Manila, Philippines, to further strengthen the longstanding friendship and maritime cooperation between the two countries. Moreover, the visit was part of the Operational Deployment of the Indian Navy’s Eastern Fleet to the South China Sea.

    During the visit, personnel from both navies engaged in a wide range of professional interactions, including Subject Matter Expert Exchange (SMEE), sports fixtures, cross-deck visits, cultural visits, and collaborative community outreach programmes. Tensions between China and the Philippines have escalated over the Scarborough Shoal as Manila has taken a more assertive approach in disputed areas.

    Approximately 220 kilometres off the coast of the Philippines and within its exclusive economic zone (EEZ), the shoal is a traditional fishing ground used by multiple nations and located close to important shipping channels. Under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), an EEZ extends about 370 km from a country’s coast.

    China has claimed almost the entire South China Sea rejecting claims from other nations, including the Philippines, and an international ruling that states that these claims have no legal basis, according to an Al Jazeera report.

    Brunei, Malaysia, and Vietnam also claim the parts of the sea. India and the Philippines formally established diplomatic relations in November 1949, shortly after both countries gained independence.

    The relations between the two countries have been cordial and muted. Indian Navy and Coast Guard ships regularly visit the Philippines. The participation of officers of the armed forces of both countries in various specialized training courses in each other’s countries has intensified as have visits by National Defence College delegations.

  • Shocking Study Reveals Presence Of Microplastics In Testicles, Is It Affecting Your Sperm Count? ,

    From polluting the Mount Everest to the deepest of oceans, microplastics have already polluted the entire planet. Now, their presence has been found in the innermost parts of the human body which is quite alarming. A recent study has revealed that microplastics have infiltrated human testicles, potentially contributing to declining sperm counts in men.

    What Are The Key Findings?

    Human testicles exhibited nearly three times higher plastic concentration than dog testicles: 330 micrograms per gram of tissue compared to 123 micrograms.

    How was the study conducted?

    Researchers tested 23 human testicles and 47 testicles from pet dogs. Microplastic pollution was found in every single sample.

    How did the scientists obtain tests?

    The human testes analyzed were obtained from postmortems conducted in 2016, with men aged between 16 and 88 at the time of their deaths.

    What Kind of Plastic Was Found?

    The most prevalent microplastic found was polyethylene, which is widely used in plastic bottles and bags, followed by PVC. PVC is known to release chemicals that disrupt spermatogenesis and upset the endocrine system, which is crucial for maintaining hormone balance. Researchers are quite concerned about how the growing amount of plastic waste may affect future generations.

    Will it affect the sperm count?

    While preserved human testicles couldn’t have their sperm counts measured, dog testes (obtained from veterinary neutering operations) showed lower sperm counts with higher PVC contamination. This suggests that there might be a serious connection between microplastics and dwindling sperm counts, but more investigation is required to get conclusive results.

    What Health Effects Does Microplastic Have in the Human Body?

    Microplastics have also been found in human blood, placentas, and breast milk, indicating widespread contamination of human bodies. The impact of microplastics on human health is currently unknown. However, laboratory research has shown that they can damage human cells. It’s critical to conduct further research in this field to completely understand the impacts of microplastic exposure on reproductive health.

    In addition, these particles may become embedded in tissues and result in inflammation; Additionally, the chemicals present in plastics may pose a risk.

    Way Forward

    The challenge now is to contain this damage and prevent it from worsening, which is easier said than done given the pervasive role of plastic in the modern way of life.

  • Ibrahim Raisi Death: Authorities Are Shocked! Why Raisi’s body didn’t burn when chopper had caught fire |

    New Delhi: Eight passengers and crew including Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian were killed in a tragic accident when the the helicopter crashed in mountainous terrain near the Azerbaijan border on May 19, 2024.

    President Ebrahim Raisi was buried in the Iranian holy city of Mashhad on Thursday as many thousands of mourners packed its streets for his funeral, four days after he died in a helicopter crash, footage broadcast by Iranian media showed.

    Raisi’s helicopter crashed into the mountains when he along with other passengers was flying to the city of Tabriz to inaugurate an oil refinery after inaugurating a hydro project in East Azerbaijan.

    According to a BBC report, Interior Minister Ahmad Vahidi later confirmed that the president’s delegation was travelling in a convoy of three helicopters when bad weather and fog forced their aircraft to make a hard landing.

    He stated that multiple rescue teams were en route to the area, but fog, snow, rain, and difficult terrain were hindering the search operation. Regarding the other two helicopters flying alongside the president’s, they initiated a search for 15 to 20 minutes after losing communication. However, they were eventually forced to make emergency landings, an official told state TV as the operation continued into the night.

    As per the report, officials were able to contact two people on the president’s helicopter – a flight crew member and one other individual. This suggests that the severity of the incident was not extreme, as two individuals inside the helicopter were able to communicate with our team multiple times. Therefore, it is possible that the bodies did not burn and that the passengers succumbed to fatal injuries due to the crash’s impact.

    Raisi, 63, was widely seen as a candidate to succeed 85-year-old Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who wields ultimate power in Iran. Mohammad Mokhber, who had been first vice president, is serving as interim president until a June election.

  • Will Kejriwal resign from the post of Delhi CM?

    Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, in an interview to a TV channel, expressed his views frankly on various issues and targeted the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He claimed that if he resigns from the post of Chief Minister, the next target will be West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.

    This question was asked on the post of Prime Minister

    Kejriwal was asked why he said that now Amit Shah will become the Prime Minister? On this he said that Amit Shah had said in 2019 that all people above 75 years of age will be retired. This rule was made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself in 2014, under which Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi, and Yashwant Sinha were retired. Kejriwal said that due to this rule, a fierce succession war is going on within the BJP, and Modi ji has gradually removed many senior leaders from the post so that the path of Amit Shah can be cleared.

    Kejriwal said – there is tension within BJP

    The Delhi CM claims that there is tension within the BJP because PM Modi wants Amit Shah to be the next PM, but the rest of the party members do not agree with this. Kejriwal says that this discussion is going on across the country, and he has put it forward openly.

    The question of resignation

    When Kejriwal was asked why he is not resigning from the post of CM, he said that Modi wants him to resign because it is difficult to defeat him in Delhi. After his resignation, the next target will be Mamata Banerjee and Pinarayi Vijayan. Kejriwal said that if he resigns, the democracy of the country will be in danger.

    loyalty to the post

    Kejriwal said that he is not greedy for power. Earlier also he had left his job as Income Tax Commissioner and worked in slums and resigned from the post of Chief Minister within 49 days. But today this is a part of his struggle, and hence he will not leave this chair. The Supreme Court has also rejected the petition to remove him from the post. Kejriwal believes that wherever Modiji loses, the CM will be arrested.

    Said this on Sisodia’s resignation

    Kejriwal said that the government will not fall because of Manish Sisodia’s resignation, but his resignation will definitely bring down the government. The court is repeatedly asking where the money is, but the BJP is unable to prove it. The Supreme Court has also given them a clean chit. A scam of Rs 100 crore has been alleged, but not a single penny has been recovered till now.
