Recent flooding event leaves almost a dozen dead in India


A recent spate of floods and mudslides in India’s northeast has left 11 people dead and thousands displaced.

Several railway stations in the remote area have been closed, further isolating the region. 

Nearly 200,000 people in the district have been cut off from the rest of the state, with roads and bridges either blocked by landslides or washed away.

Weather authorities say very heavy to extremely heavy rain will continue throughout the region for the next four days.

While landslides and floods are common in the north of India, scientists believe they are becoming more frequent in the wake of global warming.

New Twitter boss Elon Musk did not receive the warmest welcome at Dave Chappelle’s recent comedy show

Elon Musk appeared embarrassed at Dave Chappelle’s recent San Francisco comedy show, when the audience began booing him.

A mixed reaction from audience members at the show. Some cheered as Chappelle welcome Musk onto the stage, but it was impossible to notice many booing him.
