India's Chandrayaan-3 successfully landed on the South Pole of the Moon for the first time in its history on August 23 evening. But, the Chinese scientist Wang Xiaoyuan made an explosive comment on such information. He claimed that India's Chandrayaan-3 did not land on the moon. His comments caused uproar. Criticism and controversy have started.

The country's scientist Wang Xiaoyuan gave this information in an interview with the Chinese language newspaper Science Times. The Indian magazine Business Today gave such news citing Science Times.

Wang Xiaoyuan said the place where the rover landed was at 69 degrees south latitude, not near the South Pole. The South Pole is defined between 88.5 degrees and 90 degrees.

In that interview, he also said that the landing site of Chandrayaan-3 is not at the south pole of the moon and it is not near the south pole of the moon. The information about Moon landing at the South Pole is incorrect, as the distance from the Chandrayaan-3 landing site to the Moon's South Pole region is 619 km.

Xiaoyuan is not the first Chinese scientist to question Chandrayaan-3's achievements.

Earlier, Beijing-based space expert Pang Zhihao told state media Global Times that China is far more advanced in many fields. Since the launch of Chang-2 in 2010, China has been able to send orbiters and landers directly into Earth-Moon transition orbits.

Pang Zhihao also said that the engine used by China is also very advanced. India's lander Pragyan has a lifespan of one lunar day and cannot withstand lunar nights, but China's nuclear-powered UTU-2 rover holds the record for longest operation on the lunar surface.

Denmark's parliament has passed a law banning the burning of the Holy Quran.

The law was passed by the country's parliament on Thursday (December 7) local time amid outrage from Muslim countries.

Qatar-based media Al Jazeera reported that after the law is passed, it will be considered a crime if someone burns the Holy Quran. And the offender must serve a maximum sentence of two years. In addition, a fine must be paid.

Last January, the Holy Quran was burned in front of a mosque in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, and in front of the Turkish embassy. A person named Rasmus Paludan was associated with this incident. He is the leader of Hard Line, a hard-right political party in Denmark.

Muslim countries expressed great anger in that incident. In such a context, the country decided to stop burning the Holy Quran.

The law was voted on in Denmark's parliament before it was passed. In this vote of 179 MPs, 94 MPs voted in favor of the law, while 77 voted against it.

In an immediate reaction after the law was passed, former minister Inger Stoiberg said the law would take away freedom of expression. But Danish Prime Minister Mite Frederiksen said the law would not criminalize criticism of religion.

The US Senate has blocked a billion-dollar security assistance bill for Ukraine and Israel.

Republican senators on Wednesday (Dec. 6) blocked the bill to push for tougher measures to stop migrants from crossing the border with Mexico. British news agency Reuters reported this information.

President Joe Biden's proposed 110.5 billion funding bill was 49 in favor, 51 against, according to the report. This means the bill did not get the support of 60 required for debate in the 100-member Senate.

Joe Biden's reasoning for approving the proposal for new funds for Ukraine and Israel was that not allocating this money would be a "gift" from the United States to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Also, if Ukraine freezes in the current winter season, the people there will be in great trouble due to lack of money. Of the proposed money, Biden wanted 61 billion for aid to Ukraine. The rest of the money goes to Israel and Palestinian aid to Gaza.

But independent Senator Bernie Sanders, who usually votes for Democrats, made an exception this time. He voted against the bill, expressing concern over Israel's inhumane military tactics against Palestinians.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer voted no. So that he can bring the proposal to reconsider the bill again.

Republicans said the move was necessary to tighten immigration policies and controls at the southern border.

The British Home Secretary signed an agreement with Foreign Minister Vincent Bairuta on Tuesday (December 5).

Later, the current government led by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's, after providing assurance on this matter, the Supreme Court removed the objection, paving the way for an agreement with Rwanda.
