US Navy Begins High-Risk Recovery Of Crashed Jet And Helicopter In South China Sea Amid China Concerns

Washington [US], November 21 (ANI): The US Navy has launched a major recovery operation to lift two crashed aircraft from the floor of the South China Sea, amid concerns that the debris could offer China access to sensitive military technology, CNN reported. According to CNN, an F/A-18 Super Hornet and an MH-60 helicopter went down within half an hour of each other in late October during routine operations involving the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz. While the cause of the incidents has not been formally identified, US President Donald Trump told reporters shortly afterward that contaminated fuel "may be to blame." All personnel aboard the aircraft were safely rescued. A Navy spokesperson confirmed to CNN that a salvage vessel is currently conducting recovery work but did not disclose the exact crash site or the ship's position. "USNS SALVOR (T-ARS 52), a Safeguard-class salvage ship operated by Military Sealift Command, is on-scene conducting operations in support of the recovery efforts," Cmdr. Matthew Comer of the US 7th Fleet said. Documents cited by CNN show that the Salvor can lift up to 300 tons from the seabed. The newest F/A-18 variants aboard the Nimitz weigh roughly 33 tons at maximum takeoff, while the MH-60 helicopter weighs about 11 tons. Military analysts told CNN that despite not being the Navy's most advanced platforms, the aircraft could provide valuable intelligence if retrieved by an adversary. Carl Schuster, former director of operations at the US Pacific Command's Joint Intelligence Center, said acquiring the wreckage of an American jet would "provide valuable insights into its technological strengths and how to defeat it tactically." Schuster noted that no F/A-18 has ever landed in Chinese possession, adding that such access could help Beijing enhance its carrier-based J-15T aircraft, which are not considered as advanced as the American fighters. He also pointed out that the MH-60 is equipped with anti-submarine warfare systems that remain ahead of China's own capabilities. "China is now prioritizing the upgrading of its anti-submarine warfare systems. So, recovering that helicopter should enjoy a high priority," he said. CNN reported that it has not been able to verify whether China is attempting to reach the crash sites. Beijing maintains sweeping claims over the South China Sea, disregarding an international tribunal ruling that rejected those assertions. The current US operation mirrors a 2022 recovery effort, when an F-35 fighter was successfully lifted from a depth of 12,400 feet after crashing while trying to land aboard the USS Carl Vinson, CNN recalled. China's Foreign Ministry reacted to the latest crashes by saying it could extend humanitarian assistance if needed. At the same time, spokesperson Guo Jiakun criticised US activity in the region, stating that the accidents took place during what he called "US military exercises." He said, "The US has been flexing muscles by frequently sending military vessels and aircraft to the South China Sea. This is the root cause of security issues at sea and disruption to regional peace and stability." Schuster warned that China's proximity to the crash zone could give it a "homefield advantage," telling CNN that Beijing could move to impede US recovery efforts "if possible." The US continues to maintain a strong military presence in the region, saying China's expansive territorial claims and growing military infrastructure threaten freedom of navigation through one of the world's busiest maritime routes, CNN added.    (This report has been published as part of the auto-generated syndicate wire feed.

Fatima Bosch Takes Miss Universe Crown Following Chaos And Host’s ‘Insult’ Incident

Miss Mexico, Fátima Bosch, clinched the Miss Universe 2025 crown in Thailand on Friday (November 21, 2025), emerging victorious despite a storm of controversies, on-stage mishaps, and intense scrutiny in the weeks leading up to the finale. Her win came after she stood firm during a public confrontation with a pageant organiser — a moment that became the defining flashpoint of the competition. Fatima Bosch Wins Miss Universe 2025 After Dramatic Pageant Turmoil Bosch dominated global headlines earlier this month when she walked out of a meeting after Thai organiser Nawat Itsaragrisil publicly chastised her, allegedly calling her “dumb.” A livestream showed Nawat singling her out over her supposed failure to post promotional content, even calling for security to intervene. Unfazed, Bosch left the room in an evening gown and heels, accompanied by Miss Iraq. Her powerful response soon became symbolic of the chaos surrounding the pageant. “What your director did is not respectful: he called me dumb,” Bosch told reporters. “The world needs to see this because we are empowered women and this is a platform for our voice.” The incident sparked international debate, prompting even Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum to praise Bosch as an example of how women should stand up to aggression. Nawat later issued an apology.             View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by Miss Universe (@missuniverse) Finalists From Ivory Coast, Thailand, Philippines, and Venezuela Bosch triumphed over contestants from Ivory Coast, the Philippines, Thailand, and Venezuela, who all reached the final round. More than 120 women participated in the globally recognised beauty event — one of the “big four” international pageants. Judges Quit as Claims of Rigging Surface The road to the finale was riddled with further turbulence. Two judges withdrew this week, adding fuel to the controversy. French composer Omar Harfouch alleged that a “secret and illegitimate vote” had been conducted without the official jury’s involvement, calling the process compromised. The Miss Universe Organization firmly denied the allegations, insisting no unauthorised jury ever existed. Former footballer Claude Makelele also stepped down, citing “unforeseen personal reasons.” On-Stage Mishaps Add to the Chaos The competition week brought even more drama. During the National Costume round, Miss Britain Danielle Latimer tripped and fell flat on the stage while wearing an Eliza Doolittle-inspired look. In another incident, Miss Jamaica Gabrielle Henry fell off the main stage during the evening gown showcase and was hospitalised. Pageant officials confirmed she was under medical observation and did not suffer serious injuries. A Crown Won Through Grace Under Fire Despite the turbulence, Bosch powered through with determination, poise, and resilience — qualities that ultimately defined her Miss Universe journey and secured her the crown. Her victory marks a triumphant moment not only for Mexico but also for empowered women worldwide who saw strength in her stand.

IPL 2026 Auction: 3 Released KKR Players That Could Start A Bidding War

The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) had a very disappointing run as defending champions in the 2025 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Their star players from the previous season didn't perform as the management would have hoped for, and they were even without their mentor, Gautam Gambhir. The result, an 8th spot finish at the end of the season, which resulted in some big names being let go ahead of the IPL 2026 auction. However, some of them could still attract major bids from other franchises. These KKR Released Players Could Be Top IPL Auction Buys 1) Andre Russell Andre Russell and KKR have parted ways after several seasons. Once almost an unstoppable force, the West Indian could only show glimpses of his potential in IPL 2025. Now that he has been released from the squad, other franchises on the lookout for an experienced and explosive batsman down the order could have a go at each other for Russell's acquisiton in the IPL 2026 auction. 2) Quinton De Kock South Africa's Quinton De Kock is an experienced batsman, both on the international stage, and in the IPL.  He might not have been at his best last year, scoring just 152 runs in 8 matches for KKR, but has the potential to be a top signing, especially for any team that wants a proven opener in their lineup. 3) Venkatesh Iyer Venkatesh Iyer became one of the most expensive IPL auction signings ever when Kolkata bought him for a whopping Rs 23.75 crore in last year's Mega Auction. He was pretty impressive in their title-winning season, scoring 370 runs at a strike rate of 139.22. In 2023, he scored 404 runs (which included a century) for the franchise, hence the backing, but failed to deliver in 2025.  Nevertheless, he, like others mentioned on this list, has lots of potential, is a proven player in the IPL, and it goes without saying that a player like Iyer could boost any franchise's lineup.

Cryptocurrency Price Today (November 21): Bitcoin Dips Below $86,000 As Top Coins See Bloodbath. Find Out Why

Bitcoin (BTC), the world’s oldest and most valued crypto, continued on a downward spiral and dipped below the $86,000 mark early Friday. The latest dip, according to experts, is primarily driven by a higher-than-expected unemployment rate seen in the US September jobs data, as well as other macroeconomic uncertainty plaguing the market. Other popular altcoins — including the likes of Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Ripple (XRP), and Litecoin (LTC) — landed in the red across the board, as the overall Market Fear & Greed Index stood at 11 (Extreme Fear) out of 100, as per CoinMarketCap data. The AB token became the biggest gainer of the lot, with a 24-hour jump of nearly 1 percent. Telcoin (TEL) became the biggest loser, with a 24-hour dip of over 18 percent. The global crypto market cap stood at $2.94 trillion at the time of writing, registering a 24-hour loss of 6.50 percent. Bitcoin (BTC) Price Today Bitcoin price stood at $85,523.03, registering a 24-hour dip of 7.44 percent, as per CoinMarketCap. According to Indian exchanges, BTC price stood at Rs 80.44 lakh. Ethereum (ETH) Price Today ETH price stood at $2,787.58, marking a 24-hour loss of 7.89 percent at the time of writing. Ethereum price in India stood at Rs 3.71 lakh. Dogecoin (DOGE) Price Today DOGE registered a 24-hour dip of 7.58 percent, as per CoinMarketCap data, currently priced at $0.1462. Dogecoin price in India stood at Rs 18.25. Litecoin (LTC) Price Today Litecoin saw a 24-hour loss of 6.68 percent. At the time of writing, it was trading at $86.80. LTC price in India stood at Rs 8,844.67. Ripple (XRP) Price Today XRP price stood at $1.96, seeing a 24-hour dip of 8.05 percent. Ripple price in India stood at Rs 232.74. Solana (SOL) Price Today Solana price stood at $130.90, marking a 24-hour loss of 8.76 percent. SOL price in India stood at Rs 17,927.38. Top Crypto Gainers Today (November 21) As per CoinMarketCap data, here are the top five crypto gainers over the past 24 hours: AB (AB) Price: $0.00650924-hour gain: 0.15 percent AB (AB) Price: $0.00770724-hour gain: 14.09 percent MYX Finance (MYX) Price: $2.8624-hour gain: 12.28 percent SPX6900 (SPX) Price: $0.536524-hour gain: 11.58 percent Story (IP) Price: $3.0224-hour gain: 8.94 percent Top Crypto Losers Today (November 21) As per CoinMarketCap data, here are the top five crypto losers over the past 24 hours: Telcoin (TEL) Price: $0.00519324-hour loss: 18.14 percent Canton (CC) Price: $0.0825524-hour loss: 16.77 percent Dash (DASH) Price: $68.8124-hour loss: 16.18 percent NEAR Protocol (NEAR) Price: $2.0324-hour loss: 14.71 percent Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL) Price: $0.972824-hour loss: 14.49 percent What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario Edul Patel, CEO and co-founder, Mudrex, told ABP Live, “The crypto market is consolidating with Bitcoin trading near $86,500 as macroeconomic uncertainty increases in the US. The September jobs data showed a higher-than-expected unemployment rate at 4.4%, influencing the rate cut decision. At the same time, the absence of October data has created an information gap, prompting traders to turn cautious. Additionally, a Bitcoin whale selling 11,000 Bitcoins has also impacted the sentiment, further contributing to the downward momentum. Buyers now need to defend the $84,500 support to prevent a deeper move toward $80,000, while $91,000 remains the key resistance.” Ashish Singhal, Co-founder, CoinSwitch, noted, “Bitcoin retreated to the $85,000 level after briefly climbing to $92,000 following Nvidia’s earnings results. This pullback has largely been driven by growing macroeconomic uncertainty in the US. September’s jobs data revealed higher-than-expected unemployment, raising concerns over the strength of the broader economy and potentially influencing the Federal Reserve’s stance on future rate cuts. Investors are advised to exercise caution and avoid making aggressive, emotion-driven decisions. A measured approach, focused on risk management and long-term strategy, remains critical as markets react to ongoing economic signals. The key psychological level to watch is $80,000. Historically, strong support zones tend to attract buying interest.” Vikram Subburaj, CEO, Giottus, said, “Bitcoin extended its decline to new cycle lows near $86,000. This marks the most bearish setup of the 2023-25 run as institutional participation wanes and key technical signals turn negative. CryptoQuant’s bull-score index has dropped to 20/100 while spot prices trade well below the 365-day moving average (~$102K), a zone that historically marked bear-market entries. ETF flows remain negative for a fifth straight week (-$3.3B month-to-date), and even corporate buyers such as MicroStrategy and Metaplanet have slowed accumulation.” Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder & CEO, Pi42, said, “The recent sell off of some 11,000 BTC, roughly 1.3 billion dollars, by an OG whale signals a meaningful shift in sentiment within the Bitcoin ecosystem. Large scale liquidations do not decide the long term trajectory on their own, but they do raise a yellow flag. A holder with more than a decade of accumulation choosing to exit now increases market pressure and draws attention to potential liquidity stress.”  Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin, currently around $85,700, is consolidating after a sharp drop from its $93,000 intraday high. Macro trends—post-halving supply tightening, steady ETF inflows, and improving global liquidity—support long-term strength. Micro trends show rising long-term holder accumulation, declining exchange reserves, and stable network activity. Price action sits near key support; holding above $85K–$86K could spark a rebound toward $90K+. Losing this zone may trigger a slide toward $82K–$84K. Overall structure remains bullish, but short-term movements depend on liquidity and derivatives positioning.” Subscribe And Follow ABP Live On Telegram: t.me/officialabplive Disclaimer: Crypto products and NFTs are unregulated and can be highly risky.

Your Smartphone Can Warn You During An Earthquake, But Only If This Alert Is Turned On

A strong earthquake shook many parts of Kolkata and nearby areas today. People in several districts felt the ground shake, and many said their buildings moved for a few seconds. The quake came from Bangladesh, close to the town of Tungi, around 10:38 am. Some places even reported small aftershocks.  Due to this, many people started checking their phones to see if they got earthquake alerts. These alerts are very helpful because they warn users a few seconds before strong shaking, so they can stay safe. How Earthquake Smartphone Alerts Work Smartphones today come with tiny motion sensors inside them. These sensors can feel sudden movements, like the vibrations caused by an earthquake.  When many phones in one area detect the same shaking, the information is sent to a central server. This server quickly checks the data and sends an alert to users nearby. This alert gives people a short warning, which can help them move to a safer place. Even a few seconds can save lives. How To Turn On Earthquake Alerts On Android: Open Settings Go to Safety & Emergency Turn on Earthquake Alerts How To Turn On Earthquake Alerts On iPhone: Open Settings Tap Notifications Scroll and enable Emergency Alerts Extra Alerts With MyShake App: Free on both Android and iPhone Follow the setup steps Allow location access Sends alerts for quakes of magnitude 4.5 and above Google also sends two types of alerts: Be Aware Alerts: For small shaking Take Action Alerts: For strong shaking, tell people to protect themselves Why These Earthquake Alert Update Features Matter The Kolkata earthquake reminded many people how important phone alerts are. These alerts cannot predict earthquakes, but they warn people quickly when shaking begins somewhere nearby. This gives everyone a chance to react, like moving away from windows, hiding under a table, or stepping outside safely. As more people keep these alerts turned on, communities become safer. Phone-based earthquake systems are simple, automatic, and work even when people are busy, making them one of the easiest ways to stay prepared.
