STOCKHOLM: At least 10 people were arrested, and several police officers injured, in violence which broke out in southern Sweden after an anti-Muslim Danish politician was blocked from attending an extremely offensive rally, police said on Saturday.

Protesters threw stones at police and burned tyres on the streets of Malmo late on Friday, with the violence escalating as the evening wore on, according to police and local media.

The demonstration of about 300 people was connected to an incident earlier in the day in which protesters burned a copy of the Islamic holy book, police spokesman Rickard Lundqvist told Swedish tabloid Expressen.

Between 10 and 20 protesters were arrested late on Friday and “have all been released”, police spokesman Patric Fors said.

Several police were slightly injured, he added. The violence had subsided by Saturday morning.

“Those who act like this have nothing to do with Islam,” Samir Muric, an imam, said on Facebook.

“It’s not right,” Malmo resident Shahed told the SVT public broadcaster. “But it wouldn’t have happened if they hadn’t burnt the (Holy) Quran,” he added.

Rasmus Paludan, who leads the far-right Danish anti-immigration party Hard Line, was due to travel to Malmo to speak at Friday’s event, which was being held on the same day as main weekly prayers for Muslims.

But authorities pre-empted Paludan’s arrival by announcing he had been banned from entering Sweden for two years. He was later arrested near Malmo.

“We suspect that he was going to break the law in Sweden,” Calle Persson, spokesman for the police in Malmo said.

“There was also a risk that his behaviour... would pose a threat to society.”

But his supporters went ahead with the rally, during which six people were arrested for inciting racial hatred.

“It hurts,” Salim Mohammed Ali, a Muslim resident of Malmo for over 20 years, told SVT on Saturday.

“People get angry and I understand that, but there are other ways of doing things,” he added.

Paludan later put up a scathing message on Facebook. “Sent back and banned from Sweden for two years. However, rapists and murderers are always welcome!” he wrote. Malmo is an industrial city of 320,000 inhabitants, Over 40 per cent of its residents have foreign roots.

PARIS: Scientists have successfully revived microbes

PARIS: Scientists have successfully revived microbes that had lain dormant at the bottom of the sea since the age of the dinosaurs, allowing the organisms to eat and even multiply after eons in the deep. Their research sheds light on the remarkable survival power of some of Earth’s most primitive species, which can exist for tens of millions of years with barely any oxygen or food before springing back to life in the lab. A team led by the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology analysed ancient sediment samples deposited more than 100 million years ago on the seabed of the South Pacific. The region is renowned for having far fewer nutrients in its sediment than normal, making it a far-from-ideal site to maintain life over millennia. The team incubated the samples to help coax the microbes out of their epoch-spanning slumber. Astonishingly, they were able to revive nearly all of the microorganisms. “When I found them, I was first sceptical whether the findings ar

HOUSTON:  Authorities in the US  on Wednesday have started imposing  strict measures, that include quarantines and stay-at-home advice, as a spike in daily coronavirus cases hit record levels after surging across the nation's South and West. Nearly four months after reporting its first death from COVID-19, the United States faces a deepening health crisis as a wave of infections hits young Americans and experts issue new acute warnings. More than 35,900 cases were recorded in the past 24 hours, according to a tally by Johns Hopkins University, with heavily populated states including Florida, Texas and California all reporting daily record cases. The world's largest economy is already the country hardest hit by the pandemic, with a mounting death toll of almost 122,000. Some officials — including the Texas governor — who loosened restrictions on business, dining, public gatherings and tourism, are now urging residents to again stay home.

It is difficult for every individual to select future goals but through proper guidance and experience you will become a successful person. But its depend upon from person to person and human psycho also involve here. But as per my suggestion and lot of business teachers shared that for that there are two different ways for successful life. 1.       EDUCATION 2.       BUSSINESS 1.EDUCATION:- Education is necessary for every individual for successful life and more earning through education you can earn more than uneducated or low education person. For example if you get high education like MBA, PHD you can earn huge salaries rather that graduated persons. If you have just matriculation you can earn average salary and helper type of post. “It is clear that high education mean high salary and low education mean low salary”   2.BUSSINESS: Bussiness is the easiest way to get more income its doesn’t
