Image
Police in Vietnam have seized 324,000 used condoms which were being recycled to be sold again. Paid workers were tasked with cleaning the rubber contraceptives before reshaping them with wooden dildos. The condoms were then repackaged before being resold to the public and thousands had already been sent out to the unsuspecting public. The operation was being run from a warehouse in the province of Binh Duong in the south of Vietnam. Police raided the warehouse on Saturday and seized the used prophylactics.

5 MOST DANGEROUS RUNWAYS IN THE WORLD

Image
Most people who have travelled via plane know the importance of runways. If runways are safe then it becomes easier for the pilot to land and the passengers to walk away safely. There are many runways all around the world but here are 5 of the most interesting yet also dangerous runways in the world. 5. ICE RUNWAY, ANTARCTICA Many people love snow but the moment you see this runway, you’d be forgiven for having second thoughts. The Ice runway is the biggest runway in Antarctica but the elevation is only 1 foott above sea level which is very low. At the same time the length of the runway is 10,000 ft  but what makes this even more dangerous is that there are no lines drawn on the runway as it is completely white, making it harder for pilots to land. Even though it is made completely of ice, it’s actually capable of handling the heaviest aircrafts in the US Air force. 5.JUANCHO E.

Dawid Malan  is the new man at the top of the ICC rankings for T20I batsmen, his 129 runs in the three-match series against Australia, which England won 2-1, pushing Pakistan's  Babar Azam   down to No. 2  in the latest update. Malan, who has a remarkable T20I record - 682 runs from 16 matches, with an average of 48.71 and a strike rate of 146.66, and one century to go with seven half-centuries - was at his best in  the first T20I against Australia , his 43-ball 66 earning him the Player-of-the-Match award following a two-run win. By the end of the series, he had moved up four spots to the top, his career-best placing after having reached No. 2 in November last year. His efforts have earned him a call-up as a reserve for England's 50-over squad to face Australia this week, with Joe Denly released to rejoin Kent. "His form in T20 as it stands is phenomenal really," said Chris Silverwood, England's head coach. "It seems to keep getting better the mo

Overview England v Australia, 3rd T20I The Ageas Bowl, Southampton Tuesday, 8 September, 18:00 local time, 17:00 GMT Jos Buttler lit up the second T20I with an unbeaten 77*, but England will have to manage without him in the final game of the series.
