A disturbing video has emerged showing the final moments of a man’s life before he was mauled to death by lions.

The 44-year-old zookeeper, F. Iriskulov, was working the night shift at a private zoo in Parkent, Uzbekistan, when he entered the lion enclosure to record a video to impress his girlfriend. Tragically, his stunt ended in his death.

The footage shows Iriskulov approaching the lions’ den at 5 am, initially appearing calm as he opened the padlock and approached the lions.

At first, the big cats sat quietly, but soon one of them moved toward him. Iriskulov, who called the lion "Simba" and tried to calm it, stroked the animal’s mane.

As he flipped the camera to show his face, the situation turned horrifying as the lion attacked. His final moments were captured on camera as he repeatedly shouted, "Be quiet, be quiet."

Indian skipper Rohit Sharma revealed that he voluntarily stepped down from the playing XI for the fifth Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test in Sydney due to poor form.

Speaking to Star Sports during the Lunch break on day two, he shared that the decision was made in the team's best interest as India trailed 1-2 in the series.

“I told the coach and selectors that I’m not scoring runs, and we need players who are performing. They supported my decision, which was necessary for the team,” Rohit explained.

Struggling with just 31 runs in five innings, Rohit admitted the idea of stepping aside had been on his mind since the Melbourne Test. He returned for the Adelaide Test after missing Perth for personal reasons but couldn’t regain form.

Praising Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul for their key performances, Rohit dismissed retirement rumors, clarifying his absence was solely due to form.

“This is not retirement. I believe I can come back, but I must be realistic. For now, I’m focusing on the immediate future,” he said.

On Day 1 of the 5th Test between Australia and India, Sam Konstas, Australia's young opening batter, stirred a confrontation with Jasprit Bumrah in the final over before stumps, despite the matter not involving him.

When Usman Khawaja took extra time to prepare at the striker’s end, Bumrah's rhythm was disrupted, prompting Konstas to speak out and rile up the pacer.

Bumrah responded by dismissing Khawaja on the next delivery, with KL Rahul taking a brilliant catch at slips.

After the wicket, Bumrah charged at Konstas in celebration, and Virat Kohli quickly joined him, showing their frustration.

Earlier, India struggled with the bat, posting only 185 runs. Rishabh Pant was the top scorer with 40 runs, while Bumrah contributed 22.

Rohit Sharma was benched due to poor form, and his replacement, Shubman Gill, scored just 20 runs before being dismissed by Nathan Lyon.

India will look to capitalize on Bumrah’s key wicket and aim for quick wickets on Day 2 to shift the momentum in their favor.

A thick layer of fog has blanketed north India, reducing visibility to zero in many areas and plunging temperatures to record lows in Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and Delhi.

Train operations have been disrupted, with passengers at New Delhi Railway Station facing delays.

Delhi airport advised travelers to check flight statuses as only CAT-III compliant aircraft can land safely. Roads in Agra, Mathura, and other towns in Uttar Pradesh witnessed slow traffic, with the Taj Mahal barely visible through the haze.

In Rajasthan, dense fog led to a collision near Dausa, injuring 24 people, some critically. The bus carrying pilgrims from Ujjain to Delhi collided with a truck on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway.

The IMD predicts minimum temperatures around 10°C and highs near 19°C in Agra, with similar conditions in Jaipur and Amritsar.

India’s railways are speeding into the future!

The Vande Bharat Sleeper train recently reached 180 kmph during its trial run on the Kota-Nagda section, marking a big step toward high-speed rail travel.

In the next 4-5 years, Indian Railways plans to operate trains at speeds of 200 to 220 kmph, becoming synonymous with
high-speed travel.
However, experts point out that the current tracks might not be fully ready for these speeds.

While some can handle up to 130 kmph, trains like Vande Bharat and Tejas need upgraded infrastructure for safety and efficiency.

The debate continues—focus on faster trains or upgrading tracks?

Rohit Sharma is thinking about retiring from Test cricket after the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

India's chances of qualifying for the WTC final now depend on winning the Sydney Test and hoping Australia loses in Sri Lanka.

If not, Rohit may call it a day in his Test career.

The Taliban's leader has banned windows in new homes that offer views into areas where Afghan women work, like kitchens, courtyards, and wells.

They claim that seeing women doing everyday tasks could lead to "obscene acts."

Authorities will monitor construction to make sure no windows overlook these areas.

Since taking power in 2021, the Taliban has restricted women’s rights, banning girls' education, limiting their work opportunities, and blocking access to public spaces.

They also imposed a law preventing women from singing or reciting poetry in public, while claiming their actions are based on Islamic law to "protect" both men and women’s rights.
