A fan spotted the two and clicked their pictures which have been going viral on social media. If reports are to be believed, the mystery man is none other than Kabir Bahia, a UK-based entrepreneur.
The viral picture is taken from back where Kriti can be seen holding the hand of Kabir as they take a walk. Sharing the picture, the fan wrote, “Saw Kriti Sanon in London holding hands with a guy.”

As expected, the photo has been garnering mixed reviews from social media users.
“Man I have been following Kriti since her heropanti days it feels so weird to know that she is dating now cuz she was single for ages (except for ssr ofc) 🥺🥺🥹,” commented a fan.
Another fan wrote, “She has that perfect sweet-yet fun girl wala vibe. I like her off-screen persona. Whoever is gonna date or marry her is one lucky dude.”
“And he's taller, finally she found a good match. Maximum in Bollywood actors are shorter or equal to her height,” commented another third user.
On the work front, Kriti Sanon was last seen in Shahid Kapoor’s film ‘Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya’. She is now gearing up for the release of her upcoming movie ‘Crew’ which also stars Tabu and Kareena Kapoor in pivotal roles.
However, her date went wrong and she decided to only ‘stay friends’ with him as she realised that her date wasn’t for her.
Kayleigh Castle, 35, shared her story on TikTok that has caught the attention of social media with the video going viral. Although, the woman flew halfway around the world for the man who had approached her while she was vacationing in Mexico, things did not go as per plan.
Sharing her story on TikTok, the woman said, “He booked my flights, took me for wine tasting, nice coastal drive. He took me on road trip visiting several places, including the very famous Yosemite National Park.”
It was during their road trip she realised that the date wasn’t working for her. She shared that instead of focusing on her, the man was more into his phone most of the time. While she wanted a romantic walk in the park, he was more interested in his phone and going to bar, the woman revealed.
“We have decided just to stay friends, dating is evaluating, it is over time you get to know everyone. We’re still in touch, and we had a lot of fun, but we have decided to be friends,” she added.
Since being posted on Instagram, the video has gone crazy viral with over 278K likes and thousands of adorable comments.
The video begins with the model dressed in the lehenga as a bride takes a ride on the London tube. All the eyes are on her, and the foreigners go crazy as they seem to be fascinated with her outfit. All the foreigners can be seen looking at her in amazement.
The same thing happens when she takes a stroll on the streets. Everyone just cannot take their eyes off her. Some are seen quickly taking out their phones and clicking pictures and taking videos of her, while others look at her curiously.

Another user wrote, “Indian girl rocks 🔥🔥....London Wale socks 😂😂”

Taking to her Instagram handle, the actress dropped a series of pictures from her London holidays. The stunning diva who called in her New Year in London seems to be still in her holiday mood and has been sharing a series of pictures.
Going by the pictures, she seems to have had a hell out of a time in London. She also sent New Year wishes to her fans and wrote, “Entering 2024 with a heart full of love, soul full of gratitude and head full of dreams!💗✨”
In the pictures, Priya exudes an angelic charm and looks straight out of heaven. Without any makeup, Priya looks to be in her natural self and enjoying the vibes of London.
On the work front, the social media star who catapulted to fame with her debut film has appeared in a couple of films. She has been making waving in the south film industry and is also a fashion icon.
After her iconic wink from the film ‘Oru Adaar Love’ went viral, Priya has since graced numerous Telugu and Hindi films, establishing herself as a versatile talent.
The vibes of Christmas and New Year holidays have already gripped London and Shubman seemed to have a gala time with his friends. Fans spotted him taking a stroll on the streets of London. Dressed in all black dress, he suited it up with a long jacket to beat the London cold.
He looked dashing as always in the jacket. Several videos of him taking a stroll on the streets of London have been going viral on social media.
Watch the video here:
Earlier, there were reports that Shubman was holidaying with his rumoured girlfriend Sara Tendulkar. However, there seems to be no truth in the report as Sara has not been spotted with Shubman.
His last on-field appearance was in the World Cup 2023 Final when India lost to Australia. Fans had huge expectations from him as he is among the few players who are very good against Australia.
However, Gill failed to recreate his magic and was out easily. However, during about the whole tournament, Gill made a strong impact, featuring in nine matches and scoring 354 runs which included four half-centuries.
Virat Kohli also missed the T20I series against Australia. He was recently spotted holidaying in London with his lovely wife and actress Anushka Sharma who is his support system.
The couple has been accompanied by their lovely daughter Vamika. Eagle-eyed fans spotted Kohli on the streets of London. In the recent video that is going viral on social media, Kohli and Anushka can be seen at the Winter Wonderland in London with daughter Vamika.

The two even happily obliged for selfies and pictures for their fans. A fan page posted the video on X where both Virat and Anushka are seen dressed in winter clothes as they have a good time in Winter Wonderland, Hyde Park, London.
It was a much-needed break for Kohli and other members of the Team. According to sources, Virat has also opted out of the T20I and ODI series against South Africa that is beginning on December 10. King Kohli is expected to join the team for the Test series.
On the other hand, India captain Rohit Sharma has also intended to stay away from the game for some time after the world Cup. He may also stay absent during the T20I and ODI against South Africa. However, the opener and star batsman of India is yet to confirm whether he is part of the ODI against South Africa.
British-Indians Moksha Roy and Aleesha Gadhia, aged seven and eight respectively, are among the youngest climate campaigners who have been raising their voices against microplastic pollution, deforestation and ecosystem degradation.
Aleesha has written hundreds of letters and emails to some of the UK’s largest companies and most influential people -- The Queen, Labour leader Keir Starmer, environmental royalty Sir David Attenborough -- to encourage them to take climate action.
She has also raised funds for non-profit organisations that work alongside rainforest communities to halt deforestation and climate change, in addition to setting up a climate change club at school.
Moksha has been advocating for the UN Sustainable Development Goals to be integrated into school curricula and even communicated with leaders worldwide, urging them to consider these critical objectives.
Her journey to fight for a healthy Earth began at the age of three when she volunteered for a United Nations’ initiative against microplastic pollution.
According to the UN, two-thirds of the 430 million tonnes of plastic produced annually soon becomes waste, filling the ocean and, often, working its way into the human food chain.
Reshma Kosaraju from Saratoga, California, has developed an Artificial Intelligence (AI) model that proactively predicts forest fires using meteorological data and other parameters.
In addition, the model also takes into account both the weather in the region as well as other temporal factors to account for human behaviour.
Recently, a few prominent leaders hailing from India were named in the 'Time 100 Climate' list of the world's most influential leaders driving business to real climate action.
Among them was World Bank Group president Ajay Banga who is ushering in a new mission for the institution -- eradicating poverty while fighting climate change.
Banga is calling for more money to “widen the aperture” of the Bank to structure incentives and loans for projects that lower emissions and advance sustainable development.
He is also pushing to reduce how long it takes to approve projects, so that billions of dollars can quickly reach the countries that need it, according to Time magazine.
Geeta Aiyer's Boston Common Asset Management firm prioritises investment in climate change mitigation, and uses shareholder engagement to push portfolio companies toward more sustainable business practices.
Rajiv J Shah's Rockefeller Foundation partnered this year with the Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet to launch the Coal to Clean Credit Initiative. The aim is to develop a new carbon finance standard to spur a just transition away from coal-fired power plants to renewable energy in emerging economies.
Chitra Gomanee, a banking professional from Mauritius, was named by the World Economic Forum as one of the young leaders driving action on nature and climate. Gomanee has been working on projects including waste clean-ups in Mauritius, which is experiencing considerable economic loss, humanitarian stresses and environmental degradation from climate change impacts.
Led by Indian-American Aadith Moorthy, Boomitra is working with farmers and ranchers to accelerate carbon removal on a gigaton-scale, while helping them produce more with less. It helps farmers and ranchers adopt agricultural practices that increase carbon sequestration -- a process by which carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere and held in solid or liquid form.
Boomitra then quantifies the additional carbon captured and works with international standards bodies to generate Verified Emission Removals, commonly referred to as carbon credits.
Former UK Minister Alok Sharma was knighted for his contribution to combating climate change through his leadership at the COP26 summit by King Charles III in his 2022 New Year Honours list.

However, the cost of living in London can be way higher for a normal Indian. One can survive with Rs 10,000 monthly salary in India, but the average cost of living in London is way more. So, it is very important to save money while in London.
Now, a video of two Indians going to work on a cycle has gone viral. The viral video shows an Indian man riding a cycle while his friend is riding a pillion. The sight of a cycle that too in London has started a debate online.
While many social media users are of the opinion that one should sacrifice something to achieve something bigger in life, many others highlighted how Indians are ditching their comfortable life in India and struggling and working in extreme conditions in foreign countries only for money.
“You watch, these boys will be driving big Ranges in 5 years.in 2006 I was one of them.it makes me proud of their hard work,” commented a user.
Another user wrote, “Heard of…nothing comes easy? …No matter where you are! We are all work in progress. Some day they will have their cars too…so don't judge 👩⚖️”
“Paise kamane gaye hai udhar, aise hi hoti hai savings ✌️” commented another user.
The video shows Anushka and Virat strolling on the streets of London. The video starts with Anushka sipping coffee as she walks on the streets of London and takes a ride in the metro. She also can be seen making faces for the camera.
For the day, the ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ actress wore a white T-shirt, denim jacket and pants as she opted for funky sunglasses and carried a big handbag.
In the video, fans also get a glimpse of Virat Kohli who is seen with Vamika’s baby stroller. He is looking dashing in a black jacket, beige pants and a cap.
Sharing the video, Anushka wrote, “Major missing – London city & coffee walks. PS – that coffee lasted me a while.” She added the song ‘Walking on a Dream by Empire of the Sun’ as the background music.

While the victim is yet to be formally identified by police in the UK, reports from India indicated it was Kontham Tejaswini – a young professional from Hyderabad.
Tejaswini, who was studying MS in the UK, was allegedly stabbed to death at her accommodation in London, the UK Metropolitan Police said.
The 27 year-old woman was killed in London, even as the family received information that she was "attacked" in the flat she was residing at, a shared accommodation.
The Met police said two men have been arrested in connection with the murder that took place at a residential property in Neeld Crescent, Wembley in London on Tuesday.
"We came to know about the incident today morning. We don't know when it happened. We got the information that she is serious and in hospital," Tejaswini's father told a news channel. She had gone to London three years ago and had completed her MS course there, he said.
She came to Hyderabad in August last year and returned to London the next month. She was supposed to fly down here in May this year, he said.
"We were planning to conduct her marriage. She said she will return after the alliance is finalised. She had resigned from her temporary job and said she will come back after working for another month," he said.
The Metropolitan Police in London had earlier released an image of Brazilian national Keven Antonio Lourenco De Morais to seek the public's help in tracing the suspect behind the attack. The 23-year-old man has now been arrested from Harrow, near the crime scene of Neeld Crescent in Wembley.
"Officers attended along with the London Ambulance Service and two women were treated for stab injuries. Despite the efforts of emergency services, a 27-year-old woman sadly died at the scene. Her next of kin are yet to be informed," the Met Police said.
Besides Tejaswini, another woman, aged 28, was also attacked and taken to hospital with stab injuries that were later assessed as not life-threatening, the Met Police added.
The victim's uncle requested the government to make necessary arrangements to bring her body from the UK to Hyderabad.
Described as "one of the world's rare artefacts", the sword's sale was conducted by Bonhams -- a privately owned international auction house in London -- on Tuesday, achieving 14,080,900 pounds against an estimate of 1.5 million to 2 million pounds.
The auction house said the sword was found in Tipu Sultan's private quarters of his palace after he was killed by British forces on May 4, 1799.
Following his death, the sword was presented to British Major General David Baird as a token of his courage, according to Bonhams.
The auction house said that the sword's "extremely rare calligraphic hilt is a masterpiece of late-18th century Indian manufacture, intricately inlaid in gold with fine calligraphic invocations to God".
"The English inscription to the blade, presumably added by Baird or a descendant, explains how it was found in Tipu Sultan's bedchamber following the fall of Seringapatam (now Srirangapatna) and presented to the General as a trophy of his victory."
On the spine of the blade, a gold inlaid inscription reads 'Shamshir-e Malik' or 'The Sword of the King'.
"The sword has an extraordinary history, an astonishing provenance and unrivalled craftsmanship," CNN quoted Nima Sagharchi, group head of Islamic and Indian Art at Bonhams, as saying in the statement.
"It was no surprise it was so hotly contested between two phone bidders and a bidder in the room. We are delighted with the result," he added.
According to Bonhams CEO Bruno Vinciguerra, the "spectacular sword is the greatest of all the weapons linked to Tipu Sultan still in private hands".
"Its close personal association with the Sultan, its impeccable provenance traceable to the very day it was captured, and the outstanding craftsmanship that went into its manufacture make it unique and highly desirable," he added.
The London-bound Indian team is to leave in batches and the congregation of the full squad for the WTC final will happen only by May 30, after the final of the IPL 2023 on May 28.
With their teams out of reckoning for the IPL play-offs, players like Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur are part of the first batch. Seniors Virat Kohli and R Ashwin, whose teams Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals are also out of the IPL, will be leaving later, most probably on May 24.
Umesh Yadav, whose team Kolkata Knight Riders is also out of the IPL, may also reach England later.
"Outbound", wrote Shardul on his insta story along with his picture.
According to a Cricbuzz report, the original plan was to send the first batch immediately after the IPL league stage, which concluded on Sunday. However, some players have requested the BCCI to be allowed to leave at a later date.
"There may be departures everyday till May 30. Logistics arrangements are being made for almost every day, said a BCCI official.
Meanwhile, Jaydev Unadkat, who has been undergoing rehab at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru for a shoulder injury, is expected to be fit for the WTC final and he may leave after May 27.
Of the three standbys, pacer Mukesh Kumar will be part of the first batch and the other two, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Suryakumar Yadav, will travel after their IPL sides, Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians, finish their engagements.
The report also mentioned that the team may not get a warm-up match and the plan is to play a game among the touring members after everyone arrives in London.
The mail sent by her boss Alexander Goulandris read, “Can you please complete the following: The solution us currently used by xx Agris companies and yy Barge lines in corn cargoes in south-north flows in the ???? waterways. Also can you remind me of what the balance of the rollout will be and the approx timing. Thanks.”
In her complaint, Karina stated that the xx stood for kisses, yy for sexual conduct and ???? was a veiled question requesting when she would be ready to do sexual acts.
She further added that her boss wanted a sexual relationship with her and she had rejected his advances. However, after hearing the entire case and reviewing the evidence, the employment tribunal at London Central Court determined that Karina’s perception of the events was ‘skewed’.
“She demonstrated a tendency to make extraordinary allegations without evidence, and she contradicted herself in a way that could not be attributed to a fallible memory,” said Employment Judge Emma Burns as per a report in The Independent.
Later, the Tribunal ordered Karina to pay essDOCS a substantial sum of 5,000 pounds (Rs 513012).

However, a section of social media users weren’t too happy with the dance in the middle of the street and slammed the girl.
“Crowd is just making fun of you, girl! Feel for the tiktok generation. At least do some good informative travel reels in London rather than doing such things which are already loaded on internet,” commented a user.
Another user wrote, “I feel so embarrassed for her. The fact you have to lower your standards in the society to try and please the society. Lost cause.”
The couple got a bit romantic and turned up the heat in London with their cosy pictures. Sharing a video of themselves on his Instagram, Nick Jonas wrote, “Red Dress” and added the song ‘Burnin’ Up’ in the background.

Videos on social media showed a crowd waving yellow "Khalistan" banners and a man detach the Indian flag from the first-floor balcony of the building, the BBC reported.
Two security guards were injured in the violent protest and an investigation has been launched.
PA news agency said that crowd members were believed to be supporters of a Sikh separatist movement.
Officers were called to the Indian High Commission at about 13:50 GMT on Sunday.
Upon arrival "the majority of those present had dispersed prior to the arrival of police", Metropolitan Police (Met) was quoted by the British broadcaster as saying.
The force's spokesperson said "windows were broken" and two members of security staff sustained minor injuries which did not require hospital treatment.
Responding to the incident, London's mayor Sadiq Khan said in a tweet: "I condemn the violent disorder and vandalism that took place at the Indian High Commission today (Sunday). There is no place in our city for this kind of behaviour."
An investigation has been launched by the Met, he added.
The British High Commissioner to India Alex Ellis described the incident as "disgraceful" and "totally unacceptable".

The passenger has been identified as one Ratnakar Trivedi, 37, a US NRI and the shocking incident happened on the AI flight which landed here Saturday morning.
As his behaviour seemed to go out of control, the AI flight crew managed to pin him down, dumped him on his seat and tied up his hands and legs for the remainder of his journey.
The AI crew told the police that the passenger behaved in a wild and uncontrolled manner aboard the flight, he was detected smoking in the toilet as the smoke-alarm went off, though smoking is banned on Indian flights.
When the crew accosted him and threw away the cigarette, he started screaming and abusing at the flight crew and at one point, Trivedi tried to open the door of the aircraft mid-air, scaring other fliers.
Later, as a precaution, the crew members managed to pin him down and tied him up on his seat where he remained till the flight landed here.
One of the co-passengers, who was a medico, came and examined him to ascertain whether he was misbehaving in a drunken state or had some mental condition, while the police have sent his samples to the lab and the test reports are awaited.
Meanwhile, the Sahar Police, which detained Trivedi, has lodged a case against him invoking various sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Aircraft Act.

Lapierre, who was conferred India's third-highest civilian award Padma Bhushan in the 2008, founded a humanitarian association with his wife entitled the City of Joy Foundation rescuing children suffering from leprosy from the slums of Kolkata. Dating back to 1981, it was supported by the royalties from his many literary successes.
"At 91, he died of old age," the author's wife Dominique Conchon-Lapierre was quoted as saying by the French newspaper Var-Matin' on Sunday.
The couple's foundation from the 1980s is believed to have rescued 9,000 children suffering from leprosy and other diseases due to malnutrition and poverty in India. The charity website notes that it has also helped fight back tuberculosis in 1,200 villages, dug 541 tube wells for drinking water, provided medical assistance to over 5 million patients over the years.
While completing military service in 1954, Lapierre met an American soldier named Larry Collins.
An everlasting friendship and a valuable partnership sprang from this meeting and the duo went on to collaborate on some of the most memorable books including Is Paris Burning?' - made into a major motion picture - and others such as O Jerusalem', Freedom at Midnight', 'Is New York Burning?' and The Fifth Horseman', books read by millions of readers in more than 30 languages.
Born on July 30, 1931 in Chatelaillon, the author was known for his passion for travel. While researching in Kolkata, Calcutta at the time, he became a close associate of Mother Teresa who gave him the authorisation to write a film on her life and the work of her sisters, the Missionaries of Charity.
With Geraldine Chaplin playing the role of Mother Teresa, the film Mother Teresa: In the Name of God's Poor' was aired on the Family Channel in the US and several European channels. Lapierre's script was also nominated by the prestigious Humanitas Prize for communicating the best values.
According to the Speaker Booking Agency, Lapierre's first taste of fame came when as a 17-year-old he left Paris with USD 30 and worked aboard a ship. Disembarking in the US, he managed a 30,000-mile jaunt around North America.
This adventure led to Lapierre's first bestselling book, A Dollar for a Thousand Miles' and since then, he continuously searched for new messages and stories in different parts of the world.
In 1991, Lapierre published Beyond Love', the epic story of the discovery of the AIDS virus. Among his later works, A Thousand Suns' chronicles the heroes and events that have shaped the life of the author-philanthropist and India mon amour' his memoir reflecting his love for India.
It is similar to the one organised by the British Hindus against The Guardian newspaper in September, where the community said the newspaper's coverage of Leicester was based on "biased and fake news."
The protesters will also hand over a memorandum to the BBC Director-General Tim Davie. They allege that the BBC has an inherent anti-Hindu bias in its coverage which has become worse over the last 18 years.
In an extraordinarily strong condemnation of the BBC, a statement by the organisers said: "The BBC's coverage of the violent attacks on Leicester Hindus by Islamists was the worst reporting seen so far and has contributed to the concealment of an attempt to ethnically cleanse Leicester of Hindus."
The groups say they are determined to protest till "the BBC cease its unrelenting vilification and dehumanisation of Hindus globally and of "licence-fee paying" British Hindus especially."
Some of the organisers of the "BBC Protest" include well-known people like Dr Vivek Kaul, Dr Sneh S. Kathuria, Pt Satish K. Sharma, Nitin Mehta MBE and Darshan Singh Nagi.
Citing biased coverage by the BBC, the organisers point out Alasdair Pinkerton's research for the 2008 edition of the peer-reviewed Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television, saying, Alasdair Pinkerton "analysed the coverage of India by the BBC from India's 1947 independence from British rule to 2008. Pinkerton observed a tumultuous history involving allegations of anti-India bias in the BBC's reportage, particularly during the Cold War, and concluded that the BBC's coverage of South Asian geopolitics and economics showed a pervasive and hostile anti-India bias because of the BBC's alleged imperialist and neo-colonialist stance."
Mentioning an article, 'Beaten and humiliated by Hindu mobs for being a Muslim in India', The organisers said the headline is designed to create conflict and disorder. "It is irresponsible identitarian "divide and run" cheap, gutter journalism. It is self-evident that reports of this nature cause further inter-communal tension and stigmatise Hindus."
The organisers said the BBC is routinely producing hateful content, adding, "When a lie is repeated again and again, it gains credibility. A country which has given shelter to persecuted Parsis, Jews, Tibetans, Bahais and many more has been stigmatised as intolerant!"
Pointing out to the BBC's limited vocabulary used to describes Hindus, they said that its reporting only contains the terms, "Fear, Hate, Violence, Hindu Muslim, Kashmir, Cow, Mob and Protest" to describe India.
The organisers also claimed that increasing numbers of licence fee-paying British citizens and even the British Government feel the BBC is habitually peddling fake narratives on India and Hindus. "Your biased reporting on the world's largest democracy and one of the biggest economies of the world is clearly against the national interests of India & the United Kingdom..."
Anger against British media houses was ignited by the sporadic but continuing violence from August till September which targeted Hindus shops, homes, temples and cars. Fake information from social media was published by The Guardian's and the BBC's reporters without cross-verifying turning the Hindus into aggressors.
In a big shock for the British government, the violence in Leicester also injured dozens of police officers, making Home Secretary Suella Braverman rush to the city. Even the newly-anointed King Charles III inquired about the serious unrest in the city.
Investigations found that Muslim youth were found to be terrorising Hindu families into leaving Leicester in a replay of the ethnic cleansing of the Hindus and Sikhs in Kashmir. The Muslim youth reportedly carried out "Muslim Patrols" in front of Hindu homes and posted such photographs on social media.
The under-pressure police later debunked most of the fake messages posted by Muslims groups against Leicester's Hindus. It also found that Muslim youth came from outside Leicester to fan the violence.
The 41-year-old cricketer is in England since before his birthday on July 7. He celebrated his birthday with his wife, friends and a few Indian cricketers as well.
Apart from that, Dhoni has been to watch India's matches in the ongoing tour and even met a few of his former teammates in the dressing room after the 2nd T20I and Lord's ODI.
On Saturday, a fan-video of the CSK skipper went viral where he could be seen walking on the streets of London. A large number of Indian fans were seen chasing him, some were even seen clicking running selfies while the others kept pace with the security personnel surrounding him to get a glimpse of their idol.
The former India captain finally escaped after getting into his car. The video of the whole incident has now gone viral on social media, which shows that Dhoni's popularity knows no bounds and he has fans across the globe.
Dhoni retired from international cricket in 2020 and only plays IPL now but he still remains one of the most loved cricketers, not just in India, but across the whole world. Apart from MS, a number of former Indian cricketers including batting legend Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Suresh Raina, Harbhajan Singh among others are currently in England.
And even, the fans are leaving no stone unturned to click selfies with current Indian players during the ongoing tour. Pictures of Indian cricketers with their fans have been floating on social media right since Team India has landed in England.
Around 3.8 million people live within the zone which extends to the north and south circular roads around the British capital, reports Xinhua news agnecy.
London City Hall expects around 110,000 vehicles are likely to pay a 12.50 pounds ($17.22) charge for driving within the new zone.
Drivers who don't pay face a penalty charge of 160 pounds, reduced to half if paid within 14 days.
The enlarged zone is an extension of what was the world's first Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) covering mainly central London.
A City Hall spokesperson said: "The new zone covers one quarter of London and is the largest zone of its kind in Europe. It will bring the health benefits of cleaner air to millions more Londoners. The scheme will operate 24 hours a day, every day of the year except Christmas Day."
The ULEZ is also a crucial step towards London's ambitions to tackle the climate emergency and put the city on the path to be a net zero carbon city by 2030.
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said: "This is a landmark day for our city. Expanding the Ultra Low Emission Zone today will clean up London's toxic air pollution and help tackle the global climate emergency by reducing emissions.
"In central London, the ULEZ has already helped cut toxic roadside nitrogen dioxide pollution by nearly half and led to reductions that are five times greater than the national average. But pollution isn't just a central London problem, which is why expanding the ULEZ today will benefit Londoners across the whole of the city and is a crucial step in London's green recovery from this pandemic."
According to Khan, pollution leads to 4,000 London residents dying early each year and children in the capital growing up with stunted lungs.
Khan has provided 61 million pounds in funding for grants for small businesses, charities operating minibuses, and low-income and disabled Londoners to scrap older, more polluting vehicles.
Sarah Woolnough, CEO of the charities Asthma UK and the British Lung Foundation welcomed the move.
"Whilst this is a huge step in the right direction, we mustn't be complacent against this invisible threat. The fact of the matter remains that the majority of people living in London, are still living in areas where pollution levels are dangerously high."
I am really excited for this and waiting for people’s expression like ‘Wow, Beautiful!’ when they see my collections on the ramp. I am going to display the collections of “Pattachitra” styled dresses with Peacock’s feather designs. I have been working on this Pattachitra work for the last six years.
If people use this Pattachitra art in their dresses and give this art more importance and use it in their festivals then the artists in Raghurajpur and some in Bhubaneswar will get a good source of income.
I think Odisha’s craft will gain popularity if Pattachitra styled dresses will be displayed abroad. I remember one incident in Mumbai wherewhen it was announced that I am from Bhubaneswar, Odisha, people were shocked. Although few people know about Pattachitra in the world of fashion, still it hasn’t got that popularity as compared to other folk styles like Kutchi Bharat styled dresses from Gujarat which is now an expensive item. People outside India are also using this in Navratri and other festivals. In Bollywood movies also Kutchi Bharat work is used. I want the same importance for Pattachitra as well.
I started this fashion studio in BBSR in 2007. My father also had cloth business in Kolkata. We used to give importance to fashion since childhood. This studio completed 10 years on Vishwakarma Puja.
There was a Bhubaneswar Style Week where I got very good response. Last year I went to Jaipur for Beti Bachao show. This is the first time I am going out of India. But before that I have done a lot of fashion shows in India.

After the extradition order, a CBI spokesperson said, "We hope to bring him soon and conclude the case. CBI has its own inherent strengths. We worked hard on this case. We are strong on Law and facts and we were confident while pursuing extradition process," reported ANI.
A defiant Mallya, wanted in India on alleged fraud and money laundering charges amounting to an estimated Rs 9,000 crores, Monday had sought to disprove the narrative that he has "stolen" money and said his offer to repay the principal amount to the Indian banks was "not bogus".
Mallya made the remarks while talking to reporters outside the Westminster Magistrates' Court which delivered its verdict on his extradition after a year-long trial. The 62-year-old former Kingfisher Airlines boss has been on bail since his arrest on an extradition warrant in April last year.
The embattled liquor tycoon said that the value of his assets is more than enough to pay everybody and that is exactly what he was focusing on.
Mallya had contested his extradition on the grounds that the case against him is "politically motivated" and the loans he has been accused of defrauding on were sought to keep his now-defunct airline afloat.
"I did not borrow a single rupee. The borrower was Kingfisher Airlines. Money was lost due to a genuine and sad business failure. Being held as guarantor is not fraud," he said in his most recent Twitter post on the issue.
"I have offered to repay 100 per cent of the principal amount to them. Please take it," he had tweeted earlier.

She clocked a timing of 12.07 seconds and finished sixth in the event. Unfortunately, Dutee couldn’t make the cut to 100-metre semis.
During the Indian Grand Prix in New Delhi on May 15, Dutee had clocked a timing of 11.30 seconds giving her a global ranking of 100.
In the Asian Athletics Championships in Bhubaneswar in July, Dutee claimed a bronze clocking 11.52 seconds.
The chief minister also congratulated the athletes and wished them all success in the world championship
The 100 meters and 200 meters world record holder Bolt said in a press conference that he will only run in the 100 and 4×100 relay in his last world championship appearance, before he hangs up his running shoes, Efe news agency quoted the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) as saying on their social media account.
"My aim is to win in London. I want to retire on a winning note," Bolt said in a press conference prior to the Monaco Diamond League Meeting.
"I feel good now. I had a major setback at the beginning of the year with the death of my good friend," he added.
Asked about his decision to retire this year, he said: "I decided it's time to retire because I've accomplished all my goals."
With his impressive skill, drum player Abhisek has made it to the show ‘Britain's Got Talent'. With this, Abhisek has become the first Odia to achieve such a feat at a tender age. He plays the instrument in five different languages.
Abhisek has showcased his impressive skill in more than 80 stage shows so far. Legendary Indian drummer Sivamani is idol of the child artiste.
Abhisek’s father has requested all Odias to support Abhisek in the show. He was awarded at a function of the Odisha State commission for Protection of Child Rights (OSPCR).
Studying mice and people, researchers at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, found that sleep deprivation increases levels of the key Alzheimer's protein, tau.
And, in follow-up studies on mice, the team has shown that sleeplessness accelerates the spread of toxic clumps of tau, a harbinger of brain damage and decisive step along the path to dementia through the brain.
These study indicated that lack of sleep alone helps drive the disease.
Tau is normally found in the brain -- even in healthy people -- but under certain conditions it can clump together into tangles that injure nearby tissue and presage cognitive decline.
"The interesting thing about this study is that it suggests that real-life factors such as sleep might affect how fast the disease spreads through the brain," said the researchers, including David Holtzman, MD from the varsity.
This study shows that sleep disruption causes the damaging protein tau to increase rapidly and to spread over time, Holtzman added.
To find out whether lack of sleep was directly forcing tau levels upward, the team measured tau levels in mice and people with normal and disrupted sleep.
Findings, published in the journal Science, showed that tau levels in the fluid surrounding brain cells were about twice as high at night, when the animals were more awake and active, than during the day, when the mice dozed more frequently.
Similarly, disturbing the mice's rest during the day caused daytime tau levels to double.
Much the same effect was seen in people indicating that a sleepless night caused tau levels to rise by about 50 per cent, the researchers discovered.
Furthermore, staying up all night enables people sleep more the next chance they get in addition to being stressed and cranky.
The mice too, rebounded from a sleepless day by sleeping more later.
Hence, staying awake for prolonged periods causes tau levels to rise. Altogether, tau is routinely released during waking hours by the normal business of thinking and doing, and then this release is decreased during sleep allowing tau to be cleared away, the findings suggested.
Part of the Google News Initiative (GNI), the "Journalism AI" project will focus on research and training for newsrooms on the intersection of AI and journalism.
"As part of 'Journalism AI', next year, we'll publish a global survey about how the media is currently using -- and could further benefit from -- this technology," Google said in a statement on Friday as it organised GNI Innovation Forum here.
"We'll also collaborate with newsrooms and academic institutions to create a best practices handbook and produce free online training on how to use AI in the newsroom for journalists worldwide," informed Matt Cooke, Head of Partnerships and Training, Google News Lab.
After testing with partners over the last two years, Google also introduced a new tool called Google Earth Studio which is an animation tool for Google Earth's satellite and 3D imagery.
The tool empowers graphics specialists with new ways to leverage Google Earth imagery for storytelling.
"We're inviting newsrooms around the world to start using the product for the first time," said Google.
According to the company, it has provided free training to journalists on a range of tools reaching more than 140,000 people in-person.
"Our training on Google tools for journalists are now available in 16 languages -- including Indonesian Bahasa, Thai and Turkish," said Cooke.
Google News in November launched a new innovation challenge to help scribes and publishers in the Asia-Pacific region produce quality journalism in the digital age.
The Asia-Pacific Google News Initiative (GNI) Innovation Challenge will fund selected projects up to $300,000 and finance up to 70 per cent of the total project cost, that inject new ideas into the news industry.
According to Google, in Asia-Pacific, journalists and publishers are increasingly grappling with questions over how quality journalism can thrive in the digital age.
"From Yangon to Manila, Sydney to New Delhi, they are experimenting with fresh approaches to reporting and new business models," said the company.
The potentially life-supporting Europa has been studied by NASA, whose work has become more difficult due to the ice towers, Xinhua news agency reported.
"Clearly, the paper suggests very strongly that the tropics of Europa are going to be spiky, and it would be unwise to plan to land there without a specially adapted lander," said Dan Hobley, lead author of the study and a lecturer in the School of Earth and Ocean Sciences at Cardiff University.
Jagged ice towers could also be found on Earth, especially in high, dry and cold tropical regions like the Chilean Andes. These ice towers are named "penitentes", Spanish for "penitent", because they often look like people kneeling in penance.
Scientists found that penitentes on Europa could be up to 15 meters tall, spaced about seven meters apart, while on Earth their height usually ranges from one to five meters.
"The Europa penitentes grow much slower than the Earth examples, but on Earth they might be restricted to a season or maybe two until they melt in summer or get covered in more snow, but on Europa, they are sat out in the sun growing for 50 million years," Hobley explained.
NASA plans to launch a mission called Europa Clipper in the 2020s.
At a cost of $2 billion, the mission will "perform repeated close flybys of the icy moon from a long, looping orbit around Jupiter", assess the possible landing site on Europa and try to seek out signs of life on the moon.
The pact involves Dialog giving Apple license to certain of its power management integrated circuits (PMICs), transferring certain of its assets and over 300 employees to Apple to support chip research and development.
Apple will pay $300 million in cash for the transaction and prepay $300 million products to be delivered over the next three years, Dialog Semiconductor said in a statement on Thursday.
"We believe that this transaction is in the best interests of our employees and shareholders who will benefit from a business with enhanced focus, strong growth prospects and additional financial flexibility to invest in strategic growth initiatives," Jalal Bagherli, CEO of Dialog, said in a statement.
While Dialog is describing this as an asset transfer and licensing deal, it will be Apple's biggest acquisition by far in terms of people, TechCrunch reported.
With this deal, Apple will assume certain Dialog facilities in Livorno (Italy), Swindon (UK), Nabern and Neuaubing (Germany).
"Dialog has deep expertise in chip development, and we are thrilled to have this talented group of engineers who've long supported our products now working directly for Apple," said Johny Srouji, Apple's Senior Vice President of Hardware Technologies.
"Our relationship with Dialog goes all the way back to the early iPhones, and we look forward to continuing this long-standing relationship with them," Srouji said.
Dialog also announced that it has been awarded a broad range of new contracts from Apple for the development and supply of power management, audio subsystem, charging and other mixed-signal integrated circuits.
Revenue from the new contracts is expected to be realised starting in 2019 and accelerating in 2020 and 2021.
Dialog said it would continue to deliver PMICs to other customers globally.
The findings showed that tumours in mice treated with the drug Pimozide were 65 per cent smaller than in untreated mice and the number of tumours reduced by up to 61 per cent.
The drug also helped to prevent the cancer from spreading: treated mice had up to 94 per cent fewer metastases in the lung than mice who didn't receive Pimozide.
"Triple-negative breast cancer has lower survival rates and increased risk of recurrence. It is the only type of breast cancer for which only limited targeted treatments are available," said lead researcher Mohamed El-Tanani, Professor at the University of Bradford in the UK.
"Our research has shown that Pimozide could potentially fill this gap. And because this drug is already in clinical use, it could move quickly into clinical trials," El-Tanani added.
Triple-negative breast cancer is able to grow and spread more quickly than other forms of breast cancer.
Also, because its cancer cells lack hormone receptors, doctors cannot treat them with hormone therapy. The only treatment for these types of cancer is chemotherapy.
For the study, published in Oncotarget, the team tested Pimozide in the laboratory on triple-negative breast cancer cells, non-small cell lung cancer cells and normal breast cells.
They found that at the highest dosage used, up to 90 per cent of the cancer cells died following treatment with the drug, compared with only five per cent of the normal cells.
The study also showed that Pimozide drug has the potential to treat the most common type of lung cancer.
Anti-psychotic drugs are known to have anti-cancer properties, with some, albeit inconclusive, studies showing a reduced incidence of cancer among people with schizophrenia.
One of the world's most prestigious film festivals will open with Oscar-winning director Steve McQueen's thriller "Widows".
Indian films are a growing feature at international film events and the London festival is no exception. Although Das's biopic on the famous writer Manto, has already been premiered in India and elsewhere, the Nawazuddin Siddiqui starrer is still a prominent entry.
Three other Indian films which are eagerly awaited at the festival are Leena Yadav's "Rajma Chawal", Rahi Anil Barve's "Tumbbad" and Dar Gai's "Namdev Bhau in Search of Silence".
In "Rajma Chawal" Rishi Kapoor gives a charming performance as a newly-widowed father who's struggling to cope with the unfolding situation. "Tumbbad" is about the cursed family of a now deserted village while Dar Gai's film is about a 65-year-old man who cannot take the noisy Mumbai city anymore.
Another Indian film being shown at the festival is Ivan Ayr's debut "Soni". The film is about a policewoman in Delhi which has already had its premiere in July at the Venice International Film Festival.
The 12-day London Film Festival will close on October 21 with the world premiere of Jon S. Baird's "Stan & Ollie". This funny film starring Steve Coogan and John C, Reilly features a double act of Laurel and Hardy.
Some other prominent films at the 2018 festival are "The Old Man and the Gun" which features Robert Redford as an aging bank robber; Alfonso Cuaron's "Roma" -- a black and white film which is a tribute to the women of his boyhood.
Besides, Yorgos Lanthimos's delirious period drama "The Favourite", Mike Leigh's historic epic "Peterloo", the Cohen brothers' dazzling new film "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs" and Luca Guadagnino's art horror "Suspiria".
Another film worth mentioning is "Lords of Chaos" by the Swedish director Jonas Akerlund. It is a darkly comic drama that tells the true story of how the rise of the Satanic musical subculture of Norwegian black metal in the 1980s, spun from an angst-inspired need to revolt into a fable of gross cult crimes.
The London Film Festival has featured some of the world's best movie makers. The first film ever to be shown at the festival was Akira Kurosawa's "Throne of Blood"" in 1957.
In that year alone, it showed Bergman's "The Seventh Seal", Fellini's "Nights of Cabiria" and Elia Kazan's "A Face in the Crowd" -- all classics of world cinema.
India's Satyajit Ray won the best film director award in 1959 at the London festival for his "Apur Sansar". He was only the second director in the history of the festival to be awarded for his work.
In its early years, almost all films shown and awarded here were by international directors rather than British.
Migraines occur as part of a chain reaction during which the veins in the brain contract and the blood cannot therefore supply the brain with sufficient oxygen, the researchers said.
In the study, the team from the Aarhus University in Denmark examined a small group of patients who suffer from migraine with aura, which is where they experience either sensory or visual disturbances before the painful headaches begin.
The novel inhaler slightly changes the body's own molecules.
It utilises carbon dioxide and oxygen, which are the body's natural molecules for mobilising its own defence against migraine attacks.
"The inhaler expands the blood vessels that supply the brain with oxygen by up to seventy per cent and thereby stops the destructive chain reaction," said Troels Johansen, from the varsity.
Johansen added that the effect of the treatment starts after a few seconds.
The results, published in the journal Cephalalgia, showed that the effect of the pain relief increased significantly with each use of the inhaler.
While 45 per cent people experienced an effect the first time, and that number rose to 78 per cent the second time.
"The study shows some very significant physiological effects in the body," Johansen said, adding that the team is now planning to conduct a large clinical trial that will also include migraine without aura and chronic migraine.
In a review of 15 studies, published in the International Journal of Cancer, processed meat consumption was associated with a nine per cent higher breast cancer risk.
However, the researchers did not observe a significant association between red (unprocessed) meat intake and risk of breast cancer.
"Previous works linked increased risk of some types of cancer to higher processed meat intake, and this recent meta-analysis suggests that processed meat consumption may also increase breast cancer risk," said lead author Maryam Farvid, from the Harvard University's T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
"Therefore, cutting down on processed meat seems beneficial for the prevention of breast cancer," Farvid added.
The study backs up previous findings of the World Health Organization (WHO), which says processed meats can cause cancer.
Processed meat refers to meat that has been transformed through salting, curing, fermentation, smoking, or other processes to enhance flavour or improve preservation.
It is the chemicals involved in the processing which could be increasing the risk of cancer. High temperature cooking, such as on a barbecue, can also create carcinogenic chemicals.
Although red meats were "probably carcinogenic," there was limited evidence, the WHO noted.
Processed and red meat are also linked to increased risks of death from heart disease, diabetes, and other illnesses.
But, the researchers recommend cutting down on the meat rather than eliminating it, as it is also known to have health benefits.
Currently, the National Health Service recommends eating no more than 70g of red and processed meat a day.
The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) late Wednesday said that hackers from the GRU or Russian intelligence, operating under a dozen different names, including Fancy Bear, targeted the systems database of the Montreal-based World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada), using phishing to gain passwords. A group accessed athletes' data, which was later published, the BBC reported.
They also hacked the Democratic National Committee in 2016, when emails and chats were obtained and subsequently published online. The US authorities have already linked this to Russia.
The hackers then targeted Ukraine's Kyiv metro and Odessa airport, Russia's central bank, and two privately-owned Russian media outlets - Fontanka.ru and news agency Interfax - in October 2017. They used ransomware to encrypt the contents of a computer and demand payment
Another target was an unnamed small UK-based TV station between July and August 2015, when multiple email accounts were accessed and content stolen
The NCSC said it has assessed "with high confidence" that GRU was "almost certainly responsible" for the attacks.
Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said the GRU had waged a campaign of "indiscriminate and reckless" cyber strikes that served "no legitimate national security interest".
"The GRU's actions are reckless and indiscriminate: they try to undermine and interfere in elections in other countries; they are even prepared to damage Russian companies and Russian citizens," the BBC quoted Hunt as saying.
"Our message is clear: together with our allies, we will expose and respond to the GRU's attempts to undermine international stability."
A senior ED official said the agency had been working in close coordination with other foreign agencies in order to identify and attach foreign properties of Nirav Modi in various locations.
The attached properties were in the form of jewellery, bank accounts and immovable properties. Among them are two apartments worth Rs 216 crore in New York's popular Central Park, which are registered in the name of Nirav Modi, he said.
According to the agency officials, they were purchased in the name of The Ithaca Trust. One of the properties in central park south, New York, was in the name of Central Park Real Estate LLC, a group company of Firestar Group. In 2018, it was transferred to the Trust.
The beneficiary of the Ithaca Trust allegedly is Nirav Modi's wife, Ami Modi, a US national, and her children and the settler of the said trust was Nirav Modi's sister Purvi Modi, a Belgian national.
"The other property was also purchased in the name of The Ithaca Trust in 2017. And before paying the consideration for the property, the stolen fund was layered extensively involving multiple jurisdictions like Dubai, Bahamas, USA, Singapore etc.," the official said.
"The consideration was paid from a fiduciary account of Commonwealth Trust Company, Singapore and the deal was carried out by a lawyer firm based in US," the official said.
Meanwhile, a flat worth Rs 56.97 crore on Marylebone road in London has also been attached, of which the beneficial owner is Nirav Modi's sister Purvi.
According to the ED official, the property was bought in the name of the Belvedere Holdings Group Limited which was managed by Trident Trust in Singapore, and established by Monte Cristo Trust. "The said trust is having Purvi Modi as settler and beneficiary," he said.
The agency also attached five bank accounts containing over Rs 278 crore, belonging to Nirav Modi, Purvi and others in the case.
The official said that it had brought diamond jewellery worth Rs 22.69 crore back to India from Hong Kong.
According to the ED, a stock of jewellery was exported to Hong Kong after a case was registered against Nirav Modi by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in January. This was kept in a vault of a private company in Hong Kong on behalf of Nirav Modi.
"The agency contacted the company and its London headquarters and after much persuasion and follow up, it successfully brought back the jewellery to India," the official said.
He also said that the stock value of the jewellery was around Rs 85 crore and the jewellery was sent to Hong Kong by Firestar Group of Companies. On independent valuation, the value of jewellery came to Rs 22.69 crore.
The ED has also attached a flat in south Mumbai worth Rs 19.5 crore which was in sister Purvi's name.
The official said the flat was purchased by Purvi in 2017 and the deed was signed by Nirav Nodi's brother Neeshal, who is also a Belgian national and who held a power of attorney.
"But the consideration of the flat was paid by Purvi through her Barclays Bank account maintained in Singapore," the official said.
Interpol has issued a Red Corner Notice against Nirav Modi, Neeshal, Purvi and his executive Subhash Parab.
On Monday, Interpol, at the request of the CBI and ED, issued a Red Corner Notice against Nirav Modi's trusted official, Aditya Nanavati.
Nanavati used to head the operations of Firestar Diamond's business in Hong Kong. It is learnt that he is also in Belgium.
The official also said that Letters of Rogatory (LR) have also been sent to the authorities of foreign jurisdictions to enforce the said provisional attachment orders.
Nirav Modi and his uncle Mehul Choksi of Gitanjali Group are under probe by both the CBI and ED. The ED had on May 24 and 26 filed charge-sheets against both. Non-bailable warrants have been issued against them.
Nirav Modi left India before the scam was reported to the CBI.
The study, published in the journal The BMJ, showed that this positive effect strengthened with longer periods of use and persisted for several years after stopping.
"The reduced risk seems to persist after stopping use, although the duration of benefit is uncertain," the study said.
At least 100 million women worldwide use hormonal contraception every day.
For the study, the researchers from University of Aberdeen in Scotland and the University of Copenhagen in Denmark analysed data for nearly 1.9 million Danish women aged 15-49 years between 1995 and 2014.
Women were categorised as never users (no record of being dispensed hormonal contraception), current or recent users (up to one year after stopping use), or former users (more than one year after stopping use) of different hormonal contraceptives.
Most (86 per cent) of the hormonal contraceptive use related to combined oral products.
The researchers found that the number of cases of ovarian cancer were highest in women who had never used hormonal contraception (7.5 per 100,000 person years), whereas among women who had ever used hormonal contraception, the number of cases of ovarian cancer were 3.2 per 100,000 person years.
The reduced risk for combined products was seen with nearly all types of ovarian cancer, and there was little evidence of important differences between products containing different types of progestogens.
"Based on our results, contemporary combined hormonal contraceptives are still associated with a reduced risk of ovarian cancer in women of reproductive age, with patterns similar to those seen with older combined oral products," the study authors said.
Previous research had shown that the older products, containing higher levels of oestrogen and older progesterone, were tied to reduced ovarian cancer risk.
But it was not known whether the newer contraceptives carried the same benefit.
Hours after Facebook revealed the breach on Friday, some YouTube videos, which were seen several thousand times, described a method similar to the one used by the hackers to get access to the millions of Facebook accounts, The Telegraph reported on Saturday.
In the fresh Facebook data breach case, hackers stole "access tokens" or digital keys that keep people logged in to Facebook so they do not need to re-enter their password every time they use the app.
Nathaniel Gleicher, Facebook's Head of Cyber Security Policy, told the Telegraph that he was "aware of certain videos describing different elements of the attack" and that the company was "looking into these to make sure people's accounts are protected".
A Google spokesperson was quoted as saying that the company carries out a careful review of flagged content, and will remove videos that encourage illegal activities of the hacking of accounts or sites with "malicious intentions".
Guy Rosen, Facebook's Vice President of Product Management, on Friday said the social networking giant had reset the access tokens of the almost 50 million accounts it know were affected to protect their security.
Rosen added that another 40 million users might have got exposed to similar attacks.
According to the researchers, from Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin, modifications in the structure of a specific gene have a negative impact on individual's test performance.
"In this study, we were able to observe how individual differences in IQ test results are linked to both epigenetic changes and differences in brain activity which are underly environmental influences," said co-author Jakob Kaminski, Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy of the varsity.
For the study, published in the journal Translational Psychiatry, the research team compared the IQ test results of nearly 1,500 adolescents with epigenetic modifications.
The researhers focused on testing genes that are important in dopamine-based signal transmission, which plays an important role in the brain's reward system and is crucial in modulating a person's drive and motivation.
The team found a link between the epigenetic regulation of dopamine neurotransmission and an individual's IQ test performance.
Epigenetic modification resulted in the dopamine receptor gene being silenced: neurons carried fewer dopamine receptors, and signal transmission was reduced. In this current study, silencing of the gene was associated with lower IQ test results.
The team is hoping to conduct more in-depth studies to determine the extent of environmentally-induced neurobiological modifications, as well as the degree to which these modifications affect IQ test performance.
The Real Madrid midfielder, 33, beat former team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo, now with Juventus, and Liverpool's Mohamed Salah to the award, BBC reported on Monday.

Peru's supporters won the Fifa Fan Award after many thousands of them flew to Russia in support of their nation -- playing at the finals for the first time since 1982. This accolade was voted for solely by supporters.
The findings, based on the analysis of the impact of the 2015 tobacco display ban in England, revealed that the percentage of children who smoked regularly fell to 40 per cent by 2016, from 57 per cent before.
"The research shows that removing displays made tobacco less visible to children, and that fewer of them bought cigarettes there. This research provides evidence that the introduction of display bans will be an effective measure against children smoking -- and could help save them from starting a deadly habit," said Anthony Laverty, lead author of the research from the School of Public Health at Imperial.
The study published in the journal Tobacco Control, assessed survey responses from 18,000 11-15 year olds from across England between 2010 and 2016.
Among the children who smoked, the most common source of cigarettes was from friends, followed by shops. This remain unchanged between 2010-2016.
Interestingly, there was no increase in children reporting they had purchased cigarettes from illegal sources. The proportion of children who said they had bought cigarettes from street markets remained steady at under 10 per cent between 2010 and 2016.
Other reasons that may have helped reduce smoking rates, could be such as the ban on cigarette vending machines and higher taxes, Laverty said.
However, the researchers found that more than two in three child smokers had not been refused cigarettes when they last attempted to buy them -- a figure that remained unchanged between 2010-2016.
Furthermore, the majority of child smokers said it was easy to buy cigarettes in shops. This rose slightly from 61 per cent in 2010 to 65 per cent in 2016.
While the results are encouraging, more work is needed to ensure effective tobacco control, the researchers said adding that it is still too easy for children to purchase cigarettes in shops.
Besides enforcement, government cuts as well as a licensing system for tobacco retailers -- similar to that seen for alcohol -- needs to be introduced, the researchers suggested.
Mayour Karlekar, 43, said his wife and two kids suffered a "near death experience" when they woke up to a fire roaring outside the front door of their house in southeast London's Borkwood Park area of Orpington during the weekend, News Shopper daily reported.
Karlekar said they were woken up by the neighbours who spotted the flames outside their home early on Sunday, the report said.
"I heard some noise under my bedroom window but ignored it. I thought... some folks must be having drinks and partying. But 20 minutes later I heard bells ringing and people were hammering my door to wake us up. I looked at the porch and saw our hedges on fire," he told News Shopper.
He said the next few minutes were the scariest he had ever experienced as the hedge fire spread perilously close to his son's window.
CCTV footage of the area later showed four youths, dressed in hoodies, setting fire on the hedges outside the Karlekars' home.
"The Metropolitan Police is investigating this as a hate crime. It is being dealt with as a case of arson and criminal damage. No arrests have been made," a spokesperson said.
Recalling the incident, Karlekar said: "Those three or four minutes of getting my family out, we were in complete shock. I didn't even know what to do."
Karlekar, who been a UK resident for 20 years, said he had never endured such an attack. "I go out of my way to help people. I have no idea why they would target us. It is impossible for me to believe in this nice area."
Two cars and parts of the house were damaged by the fire. He said those responsible didn't care about his family and described it as a "malicious and intent attack".
No arrests have been made.
Such resistance training, which allows muscles to contract and enables muscles and bones to strengthen, helps reduce children's body fat percentage, lowers their body mass index (BMI) as well as boosts metabolism, said researchers who examined 18 studies across eight countries including the US, Australia and Japan to reach this conclusion.
The study, published in the journal Sports Medicine, examined the effects of resistance training on body weight for the 9-18 age group.
"The results showed positive effect resistance training can have on maintaining a healthy weight and reducing body fat for young people," said Helen Collins, doctoral student at Britain's University of Edinburgh.
While resistance training decreased body fat, it had no overall effect on other measures, including lean muscle mass, body mass index and waist circumference.
"Treatment, and more importantly, prevention, of child obesity is a growing concern," Collins said. "Our findings highlight the need for more robust research into the role strength-based exercises can play in helping everyone make healthy life choices and be more physically active".

An increase in muscle mass -- gained from strength-based exercises -- could also help boost children's metabolism and energy levels, the researchers added.
The effects were small but meaningful, prompting calls for further research to investigate how resistance training could treat and prevent the growing issue of child obesity.
