Sri Lanka cricket has been hurt by the miserable way, the execution of recent results, administrative problems, and if that was not enough, fitness concerns too. Chamara Kapugedara became the most recent player to retire from the series against India, which visitors lead 3-0, with a back injury. Lasith Malinga will take her place for the fourth ODI to be played on Thursday. But Upul Tharanga will return to lead the team in the fifth ODI. Malinga's appointment is the fifth captaincy change to the Sri Lankan national team in the last seven matches of the competition. Tharanga had been banned by two parties for a slow speed, which meant that he was excluded from the third and fourth ODI.

North Korea has carried out a flurry of missile tests recently in the midst of growing international discomfort. This is the first time he shoots what is believed to be a ballistic weapon over Japan. On the previous two occasions their rockets crossed Japan - in 1998 and 2009 - North Korea said they were for satellite launch vehicles, and therefore not guns. Rupert Wingfield-Hayes, of the BBC in Tokyo, says that this latest launch seems to be the first of a missile powerful enough to carry a nuclear warhead. The South Korean military said the missile was fired eastward just before 0600 local time (2100 GMT) from near the northern capital, Pyongyang, which is rare. Early analysis of the launch suggests the missile:      It flew a distance of more than 2,700 kilometers (1,678 miles)      It was likely

Duncan Dollimore, a spokesman for the UK, had no idea what he was doing when he appeared on the ITV program after the arrest of Charlie Alliston, who killed a mother of two while recklessly riding his bike. While many questions surround the horrific tragedy, Madeley and her Good Morning Britain co-host Kate Garraway needed to know why cyclists have not become more responsible. "One of the problems with this discussion is that it makes it a cycling and driver theme," Dollimore explained. "The reality is that there are irresponsible people on the road." Garraway nodded, "I made that point.I'm sorry, if you let me interrupt, but I did and I do not want this to be a motorist versus rider problem because many of us, like me, do both.

Image
Facebook seems to have given up on Hello, a Truecaller-like social identification application that began testing publicly in select markets two years ago, as Android and iOS introduce similar built-in features for their customers.

In addition, the application, which also served as the default call application on Android, could also be used to block users. At the time of the initial release, Hola was only available in three markets: the United States, Nigeria and Brazil. The company had noted that it intends to bring the social identification application to more places.
