Mass Evacuation At COP30 As Massive Fire Erupts In Brazil’s Blue Zone, No Casualties Reported

Panic and chaos swept through Brazil’s COP30 United Nations Climate Summit after a massive fire broke out at the main venue, known as the Blue Zone. The blaze spread rapidly, forcing thousands of delegates, officials, and staff members to flee for safety. Eyewitness visuals showed clouds of thick smoke, frantic evacuation, and delegates running in all directions to escape the sudden inferno. Fortunately, despite the intensity of the flames, no casualties or injuries were reported, as authorities managed to evacuate everyone in time. Fire extinguishers installed across the venue were immediately used by on-site teams, but the flames had already grown too fierce for handheld equipment to control effectively. Emergency alerts were activated within seconds, prompting a swift and coordinated evacuation of the entire complex. The section affected by the fire was the area where several high-level climate meetings were underway, raising concerns about the cause and the speed at which the fire escalated. After the fire was brought under control, visuals from both inside and outside the venue revealed significant damage—charred structures, smoke-filled halls, and debris scattered across the Blue Zone. Officials are now investigating how the blaze ignited and why it spread so quickly. Despite the material losses, the relief remains that no lives were harmed at the global summit.

Bengaluru Airport’s New Sleeping Pods Go Viral: Travellers Debate Comfort, Cost & Claustrophobia

A viral Instagram reel has turned Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport into the latest talking point among frequent flyers, thanks to its newly installed sleeping pods inside the 080 Lounge at Terminal 1. The video, posted by vlogger Shiva Rai, offers a close-up look at the compact capsules designed to give passengers a quiet escape during long layovers or before early-morning departures. A Close-Up Look Inside Capsule Pods In Bengaluru Airport Rai’s reel opens with him stepping into one of the “mini capsules” as the door glides open automatically. Once inside, he walks viewers through the surprisingly feature-packed control panel. Travellers can adjust lighting, operate fans, recline their seats, switch on heating, play music, and even try a massage function. The pod also includes a “zero-gravity” setting, marketed as a weightless relaxation mode, along with an emergency button for added safety. Rai called the pods “super comfy for quick naps,” noting that users must take off their shoes before entering. However, he also cautioned that the tiny dimensions may feel overwhelming for anyone prone to claustrophobia. A two-hour session costs around Rs 1,300, a detail that quickly caught viewers’ attention.           View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by Shiva Rai (@_mr.swashbuckler_) In the caption accompanying his reel, Rai described the pods as a “solid hack” for travellers looking for rest between flights. He applauded the comfort and privacy but also mentioned the need for consistent cleaning, pointing out that hygiene depends heavily on maintenance. Is It A Game-Changer Or Just A Novelty? The comments section shows the internet is split. Some users were wowed, calling the pods “cool” and wishing workplaces adopted similar relaxation spaces. Others compared the capsule-like design to lying inside an MRI machine, saying the confined layout made them uneasy or breathless. Several viewers joked that even with such amenities, they would end up spending the entire rental period doom-scrolling or stressing about missing their boarding call. The price tag also triggered debate: some labelled the fee excessive for just two hours, while others argued that airport lounges charge more for less privacy, making the pods a fair value.

‘Time To Act Together’: Piyush Goyal Urges India–Israel Front Against Terrorism

Tel Aviv [Israel], November 21: Union Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal on Thursday said India and Israel must work together to eliminate terrorism and join hands to ensure peace and security, as both nations formally signed the Terms of Reference to begin negotiations on a long-pending Free Trade Agreement (FTA). Speaking at the India-Israel Business Summit in Tel Aviv, Goyal also addressed the recent challenges faced by Israelis, referring to the October 7 Hamas attack and hostilities that followed it. "The last two years have been difficult for our brothers and sisters in Israel. You all have shown tremendous resilience in the face of adversity, and I commend you for that. I truly admire your ability to withstand difficulties," he said. Drawing parallels with the heinous terror attacks on India alone this year, Goyal said, "We in India also have suffered terrorism for several decades now. In Pahalgam, Kashmir, terrorists identified people by religion and killed them in front of their wives and children. A few days ago, we had a blast in New Delhi, right in the heart of the capital city," he said, adding that both countries "have to work together to eliminate the problem of terrorism." The minister said emotional ties between the two countries had grown deeper over the years. "We may be geographically very far apart, but emotionally, the people of Israel and India are very close," he added. Goyal, who is leading a 60-member business delegation to Israel, said the upcoming FTA talks mark a new phase in bilateral trade relations. "India-Israel FTA will be a stepping stone to our shared prosperity. India's skills can be leveraged by Israel for its metro project in Tel Aviv," he said. He also held a bilateral meeting with Israel's Minister of Economy and Industry Nir Barkat earlier in the day. Both leaders jointly addressed the business summit, where Goyal highlighted "unlimited possibilities and potential" in areas such as fintech, agritech, machine learning, quantum computing, pharmaceuticals, space and defence. The minister will travel to Jerusalem on Friday as part of his visit to deepen economic cooperation and boost trade and investment ties.

Why is it called the Ashes? History behind the Australia–England Test series

For both nations, the Ashes series carries immense prestige, often regarded as being on par with the honour of winning a World Cup. Its name has a unique and storied origin rooted in cricket history. The term originated on August 29, 1882, when English journalist Reginald Shirley Brooks published a tongue-in-cheek obituary in the Sporting Times following England’s defeat at The Oval.

Mexico’s Fátima Bosch has been crowned Miss Universe 2025, triumphing over more than 100 contestants to win the 74th edition of the global pageant. Thailand’s Praveenar Singh was declared first runner-up, while outgoing queen Victoria Kjær Theilvig of Denmark crowned Bosch at the grand finale. With this victory, Bosch brings the Miss Universe title back to Mexico after five years, following Andrea Meza’s win in 2020. Who Is Fátima Bosch? Fátima Bosch Fernández hails from Villahermosa, Tabasco, Mexico, and has long been known for her compassion toward animals. Diagnosed with dyslexia, ADHD, and hyperactivity, Bosch learned to turn her challenges into strengths. She pursued Fashion and Apparel Design at Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico City and later continued her studies at NABA – Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti in Milan, Italy. Deeply invested in sustainable fashion, she now creates pieces using discarded materials, merging creativity with environmental responsibility.             View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by Miss Universe (@missuniverse) Controversy Ahead of the Finale Before the pageant reached its final stage, Miss Universe director Nawat Itsaragrisil was seen yelling at Bosch in a viral video. The organisation quickly intervened and restricted Nawat’s participation in the event. Her Answers That Won the Crown During the Judges’ Questions round, Bosch was asked about the challenges women face in 2025 and how she would use the Miss Universe platform to create safe spaces for women worldwide. She responded: “We are here to speak up and make a change. We are women and brave ones that stand up, the ones that will make history.” For the final question—how she would empower young girls—Bosch said: “As Miss Universe, I will say to them, believe in the power of your authenticity. Believe in yourself, your dreams matter and your heart matters. Never let anyone make you doubt your worth, because you are worth everything.” India Misses Out on the Crown India’s representative, Manika Vishwakarma, exited the competition at the Top 12 stage after the swimsuit round.

Honda Prelude First Look: Slick Sports Coupe Returns With 18kmpl Mileage For India? All You Need To Know

Honda Prelude First Look: Slick Sports Coupe Returns With 18kmpl Mileage For India? All You Need To Know

Honda Prelude First Look: Honda is planning to bring back some premium cars, as till now the carmaker has its mass market cars only when it stopped the sale of its Civic as well as the CR-V. Now, Honda could bring back its Prelude in India. The Prelude is a sports coupe which has been brought back in a new avatar. It looks sleek and attractive with a proper coupe design, while the wide stance further adds to the look. There is plenty of presence, and that is the key factor. Honda Prelude: Design & Cabin Experience The inside is typical high-quality Honda, but also shared with other global cars, so the quality is good, along with plenty of physical buttons. The fixed sport leather seats, though, are the best part, and they are comfortable too. That said, the space at the back isn't great, and it could be a problem for children. The boot is big, though. Honda Prelude: Performance, Pricing & Verdict The Prelude gets a modest 2.0L hybrid powertrain, which develops 182bhp, along with being the first Honda with the S+ shift feature, which brings in aggressive shifts which you need in a sports car, plus a simulated exhaust note. That said, the power output is less than other performance cars right now. The other question is the price, which, if brought in via the import route, would be Rs 70 lakh plus, which means it would be expensive, plus there are more powerful cars available for a much lower price. However, the Prelude is about bringing back the Honda name as a maker of premium cars, and it does well with its sleek styling, high-quality interiors, and it is quite fuel efficient for a sports car at an incredible 18kmpl plus mileage. On first impressions, the styling has the wow factor and the cabin feels expensive, but the power could have been more, but it is good that Honda is bringing its first two-door to India.
