A viral video showing a Harris’ hawk terrorising an English village has led to its capture after it was blamed for over 50 dive-bombing attacks on unsuspecting locals. The aggressive bird had become a nuisance , drawing blood in some cases and even causing disruptions to Royal Mail services. Steve Harris, a local resident, was the one who eventually trapped the hawk, after the bird had chased him during his daily runs. The dramatic moment, captured in another viral video, shows Harris successfully trapping the hawk in a cage after it landed on his shed. The capture brought relief to the village, where children had been kept indoors due to the bird’s aggressive behaviour. Falconer Alan Greenhalgh, who assisted in taming the viral hawk, suggested the bird’s aggression could be linked to hormonal changes. Villagers had attempted to feed the bird in hopes of capturing it, and as a result, the hawk was found to be unusually plump. Read More: 9-Foot alligator intrudes on Louisiana co...

Hamas released a video on Saturday showing two Israeli hostages alive in Gaza, speaking to the camera and describing how they had survived an alleged Israeli strike. The Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades released the more than two-minute clip, in which one of the two men appears with his right cheek and right hand bandaged.

Fifty-eight hostages remain in captivity, including 34 whom the Israeli military says are dead. During a recent ceasefire that ended on March 18 when Israel resumed air strikes on Gaza, Hamas released 33 hostages,...

SEOUL: South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol was ousted by the Constitutional Court on Friday, which upheld parliament’s impeachment motion over his imposition of martial law last year that sparked the country’s worst political crisis in decades. The ruling caps months of political turmoil that have overshadowed efforts to deal with the new administration of U.S. President Donald Trump at a time of slowing growth in Asia’s fourth-largest economy. With Yoon’s ouster, a presidential election is required to take place within 60 days, according to the country’s constitution. Prime Minister Han Duck-soo will continue to serve as acting president until the new president is inaugurated. “The Constitutional Court’s unanimous ruling has removed a major source of uncertainty,” Professor Leif-Eric Easley of Ewha University in Seoul. “And not a moment too soon, given how the next administration in Seoul must navigate North Korea’s military threats, China’s diplomatic pressure, and Trump’s trad...

April 3 (Reuters) – The euro and the Japanese yen soared against the dollar on Thursday, as investors grappled with how U.S. President Donald Trump’s far-reaching  tariffs  will impact global trade and economic growth. Investors continue to flock to safe-haven units such as the yen and Swiss franc as the dollar weakened to six-month lows against both those currencies. “The takeaway there is that the U.S. doesn’t care about growth, at least short-term growth, in the way that it always has,” said Adam Button, chief currency analyst, Forex Live. “The market wants to invest in the fastest growing places, and the U.S. administration is showing that it is not trying to maximize growth, or they have a different idea about how to get there. And I think that’s rattled the market.” The highly anticipated  tariff  announcement  sent shockwaves  through markets, sinking global stocks and sending investors into the safety of bonds as well as gold, fearing that a fu...
