Footage shared by the Talib Times on Sunday, a Twitter account purporting to be an official news source for the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, shows a man hanging from what is believed to be a UH-60 Black Hawk chopper. “Our Air Force! At this time, the Islamic Emirate’s air force helicopters are flying over Kandahar city and patrolling the city,” the caption read. The video, which has not been independently-verified, has been shared by multiple other social media users....

The three-minute clip has racked up more than 12 million views after being posted on TikTok by Luke Falzon. In the footage, an intrepid woman armed with a giant knife can be seen arriving in a clearing of an unspecified area of jungle. The video then follows her as she begins developing the foundations of her temporary new home, using her handy blade to cut away any excess shrubbery before chopping and digging at the dry earth until a living space begins to form....

On Thursday, TikTok user @kathrynverb shared a video responding to a question posed by user @kekeyee: “What is the worst way you’ve ever been ghosted?” The prompt is one of the latest TikTok trends and has sparked a movement of people on the platform recounting their ghosting anecdotes. In sharing her story, @kathrynverb claimed that a previous boyfriend “lied to me for two years about his real identity” and then “ghosted me” by “faking his own death....

The park announced the cubs will have regular outdoor access starting today, following their first health check and vaccinations from the staff last week. Up until now, the cubs have spent most of their time in a cubbing den with their mother. In a statement to Newsweek, Keith Gilchrist, animal collection manager at Highland Wildlife Park shared the cubs won’t be spending too much time outdoors just yet. “Given how young they are, they won’t be allowed outside for the whole day and will likely only be out for short bursts, followed by long naps indoors,” he said....

The baby bear was initially injured in the Cameron Peak Fire, Colorado’s largest wildfire in its history, which started in August of last year and was ablaze until December, burning 208,913 acres in Larimer County. On May 5, CPW was finally able to release the bear back into the rocky mountains of its home after rehabilitation. In December of last year, landowners on Buckhorn Road northwest of Masonville called CPW to report an injured bear cub spotted on a porch....

Videos circulating on Weibo and Red—popular social media apps in China—appeared to show visitors sprinting toward the exits at Shanghai Disneyland, only to find them locked. Newsweek wasn’t able to independently verify the footage. In a notice just before noon local time on Monday, the resort said it would shut down Disneyland and its surrounding areas to comply with COVID-19 regulations. The Shanghai government said there would be no entry to the resort, while only those who returned negative test results could leave....

The incident has led to NASA criticizing Beijing for not sharing information about the rocket’s descent. U.S. Space Command confirmed the Long March 5B rocket “re-entered over the Indian Ocean” at approximately 10:45 p.m. MDT (12:45 p.m. EDT) on Saturday, but referred questions about “re-entry’s technical aspects” such as potential debris dispersal and impact location to China. Most of the debris burned up on re-entry over the Sulu Sea, a body of water between the island of Borneo and the Philippines, the Chinese Manned Space Agency said in a post on Chinese social media platform Weibo....

The videos—which were published in the past two days by the Canary Islands Volcanology Institute (Involcan)—emerged as the eruption entered its 72nd day, with no signs of it abating. The volcano has been erupting since September 19, with lava flows causing widespread destruction on La Palma—located in the Canary Islands archipelago off the coast of northwest Africa. In fact, experts told Spanish media outlet El País on Monday that the eruption will likely become the longest recorded on the island in 500 years soon....

Tamil Nadu made 184 for 7 in 20 overs and restricted Kerala 149 for 7 to emerge victor. It is the team’s second consecutive win after beating Andhra yesterday. Sent in to bat by Kerala captain Sachin Baby, Tamil Nadu lost K Bharath Shankar (7) in the third over, caught and bowled by Sandeep Warrier. Dinesh Karthik, who hammered a quickfire half-century against Andhra Pradesh yesterday, continued his good form and played numerous attractive strokes....

After an “incredible” experience of shooting the film, he says he has emerged as a more confident actor. From boxing to Bollywood, the Olympics bronze medallist spoke about his journey in an interview. Excerpts: Q. Would your boxing fans be happy with your move into movies? A. Why not? I am trying something new. It’s not as if I am moving into something dubious or wrong. I am doing a film....

Minnesota mounted a rally late in the fourth quarter, scoring a touchdown with seconds remaining in regulation to make the score 17-15, Dallas. All the Vikings needed was a 2-point conversion to tie the game and send it to overtime. Then, this happened. The game essentially ended on a bad overthrow from Sam Bradford — except, the game shouldn’t have been essentially over at that point. Cowboys defensive tackle Cedric Thornton hit Bradford in the head, which should have given the Vikings another chance at the tie from the 3-yard line....

The Vikings had stopped Colts receiver Michael Pittman several yards behind the line to gain in the second quarter, and appeared to strip the ball from him and return it back for a fumble recovery touchdown. That would have made the score 23-6. But just as Pittman lost possession, the whistle was blown, stopping the play for forward progress. Needless to say, the Viking crowd was less than pleased:...

MORE NFL FANTASY: Top pickups | Injury updates This doesn’t create any sort of ripple effect for fantasy owners as they have been without Peterson for the vast majority of the season. Instead, it’s the “at least” in his suspension that requires pause. One can only hope that Peterson’s status for 2015 will be cleared up before fantasy drafts start kicking off next summer, but there is no guarantee. In the meantime, Jerick McKinnon will continue to get the bulk of the snaps at running back for the Vikings with Matt Asiata mixing in on short-yardage and goal-line situations....

For the longest time, Murdoch has been known for his aggressive stance toward taxes. His deftness at minimizing them is legendary. So when the scandal broke last week in Israel, his rivals understandably might have gloated that the magnate was about to get his comeuppance. For now, though, that apparently is not to be. Rather than discovering him to be a fraud, Israeli authorities may actually find him to be a victim of a conspiracy....

Instead, Villanova made the call a non-issue by beating the Golden Eagles 94-85 in overtime. MORE: Midseason All-Americans | Field of 68 The play in question came in the final moments of regulation, when Tony Chennault’s layup with 1 second left was waved off by the officials after the Golden Eagles’ Steve Taylor Jr. drew the charge. Replay showed that Taylor still appeared to be getting set when Chennault started his upward motion, which should be whistled as a block....

The much discussed India-Pakistan series may or may not take place, but the Pakistan Super League will take place in February next year, and Shahid Afridi will be participating in the event in Peshawar colours. Yuvraj Singh, while holding forth on Afridi’s human nature in a very special video message, claimed that Afridi’s team would win the event. On Afridi’s character, Yuvraj said, “Do not be angry with Afridi’s words....

Orcas were dubbed killer whales (or, in Spanish, asesina ballenas) after ancient sightings of the animals ganging up on, and killing, other (frequently larger) whale species. Their scientific name “Orcinus” literally translates to “belonging to Orcus,” Orcus being a Roman god of the underworld. More recently, orcas have also been known to attack and kill great white sharks. New footage captured at Seal Island in Mossel Bay, South Africa, on November 7, 2019, shows a group of orcas hounding a great white....

On Reddit, a video showing the royal brothers separately completing different obstacle courses is amassing thousands of views and has racked up 101,000 likes at the time of writing. Titled “Prince Harry vs Prince William” the video shows Harry completing an impressive rope climb as the song “September” by Earth, Wind and Fire jubilantly plays in the background. The footage then shifts to show William taking part in an obstacle course and being assisted as he walks across a wooden beam while the music changes to a crude whistled version of the song....

RELATED: Games That Let You Play As The Bad Guy The likes of Sonic, Mario, and Zelda have built most of their success around one great villain, though not every video game franchise has opted for this approach. Rather than a single bad guy, they’ve instead introduced multiple primary antagonists and have mastered the art of doing so in the process. Not all of them are quite as memorable as Robotnik, Bowser, and Ganon, but, collectively, the bad guys in these iconic franchises are not too far away....
