The centre will be fully funded, built, equipped, and operated by WVS at no cost to govt, with a minimum operational commitment of 20 years.“We are the first state to be rabies controlled, and need to move ahead in this direction,” minister for animal husbandry and veterinary services Nilkanth Harlankar said.The proposed infrastructure will include a surgical complex enabling large-scale ABC and rabies control operations.

Storms claim another life in UK
AI imageLONDON: UK police said a falling tree killed a man in England after record winds brought by Storm Goretti, and nearly 40,000 homes in France were still without power Saturday.Some 15 people have died in weather-related accidents this week across Europe as gale-force winds and storms caused travel mayhem, shut schools, and cut power to hundreds of thousands in freezing temperatures.The storm barrelled through southwestern Cornwall and parts of Wales overnight Thursday to Friday. Gusts of up to 160 kilometres per hour (100 miles per hour) felled trees and left tens of thousands of homes without power.A man was found dead in the town of Helston in Cornwall on Friday after a tree fell onto a caravan, Devon and Cornwall police said in a statement.Most of the UK remains under a weather warning for snow and ice on Saturday, the Met Office national weather agency said. It warned that black ice could cause "disruption" in Scotland and northern England.Heavy snowfall followed by the storm meant that some 250 schools in Scotland were closed for much of the first week back after the Christmas break.Around 28,000 homes were still without power at the start of the weekend in southwestern England and the Midlands, according to the network operator National Grid.Storm Goretti also ploughed through other parts of northern Europe, with at its peak some 380,000 homes in France without power.But by 6:00 pm local time (1700 GMT), the number of households in the dark was just under 40,000, according to the country's grid operator.In northern Germany, long-distance rail traffic slowly resumed on Saturday, having been completely suspended on Friday due to another storm named Elli, Deutsche Bahn said.In the far north of the country, the port city of Hamburg, where large amounts of snow fell, remained particularly disrupted, it added.A number of rail services will still not be restored on Saturday, notably those linking Hamburg to Copenhagen, Amsterdam and Hanover.Services from Hamburg to the western Ruhr region or to Berlin are expected to be restored over the course of Saturday, it said.

How I helped my 12-year-old son to read books again
Or at least he begged to be read to every night and was willing to do his part. He and his friends became insatiable consumers of manga, the graphic novels from Japan, and he stopped reading what you might call chapter books. Over the years, Teddy has absorbed the idea that books mean work, and work keeps me from being with him. It’s fine to leave your favourite books around for them to discover (please like The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy!) Perhaps my son never stopped being a reader; I just didn’t recognise graphic books as novels.

Nicola Sturgeon is only former First Minister 'not to contribute' to politics or public life after stepping down
Nicola Sturgeon is only former First Minister 'not to contribute' to politics or public life after stepping downThe ex-SNP leader has barely contributed at Holyrood since stepping down but has found time to travel the UK to promote her autobiography, Frankly, at book festivals. View 2 Images Nicola Sturgeon during the Books & Banter show with Val McDermid during Glasgow International Comedy Festival at King's Theatre, Glasgow (Image: )Nicola Sturgeon has been blasted for failing to "contribute significantly" to public life or politics since quitting her role - becoming the only former First Minister to do so. She is a regular on the book festival circuit and makes other public appearances while barely speaking at Holyrood. Ms Sturgeon's lack of public life contributions has been questioned by expert Professor James Mitchell, who highlighted that all the other former First Ministers have taken it upon themselves to continue to contribute when out of office. All senior politicians love the limelight of course but usually do try to align personal interests with personal political commitments.

UAE cuts funding for UK students over radicalization fears
For the first time, the 2026 academic-year list does not include any UK universities. This was not the case in previous years when hundreds of study visas were granted to UAE students to study in the UK each year. Officials told The Times that the funding was being limited due to concerns over the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood. The UK has not moved to proscribe the Muslim Brotherhood, despite consistent lobbying by the UAE and other parties. In the UK: University of Birmingham; University of Manchester; SOAS University of London; University of Bradford; Queen Mary University of London; University of Leeds, and Newcastle University.

UK man rides Rs 80 swing at a local Indian fair without safety harness, shares his hilarious, but terrifying experience, 'I’ve never been through that much stress....'
The video shows him seated on a traditional swing ship ride, which operates as a large pendulum that rises into the air while swinging from side to side. The ride operates at Indian fairs, melas and small amusement parks, but Amani experiences it as if he were on a dangerous roller coaster. Riders must hold the ride firmly while staying seated in their position during the entire ride experience. However, the situation appears completely insane to anyone who is not from this country.The video Amani shows demonstrates how people fail to meet their expected standards.
