It is not the record that Chelsea's owners dreamt of when they bought the club four years ago - Monday's 3-1 home defeat by Nottingham Forest means the Londoners have now lost six league games in a row for the first time since 1993, Reuters reported. 

It could have been worse - until Joao Pedro's spectacular overhead strike in the 93rd minute, they were on course to suffer six consecutive league defeats without scoring in any of those matches for the first time in their 121-year history.

With the former European champions plummeting down the league table, the sole comfort for their fans is likely to be that there are only three more league games until the end of the season and the club cannot be relegated.

Manchester City’s Premier ​League title hopes were dealt a crushing blow on Monday as they dropped precious points at Everton, relying on Jeremy Doku’s strike deep in injury time to salvage a 3-3 draw, Reuters reported. 

City, with 71 points from 34 games, trail leaders Arsenal by five points but with a game in hand after a chaotic contest that saw Everton fight back after punishing a costly defensive error from ​City's Marc  Guehi.

City now need Arsenal -- who have 76 points after 35 games -- to stumble in one of ​their final three games to keep their chances of lifting the trophy alive.

In a bid to provide convenient communications for the visitors at Pathivara Temple in Taplejung, a 4G service has been launched. 

Pathivara Temple, located in the eastern hill of Nepal, is a famous pilgrim site. 

At the initiative of the Pathivara Area Development Committee, the Nepal Telecommunications Company launched the service. 

A contract was made with Telecommunication Office, Ilam three years back for the project. A BTS Tower was set up for it.

The construction of the tower not only facilitated pilgrims but also the people from Phaktanglung Rural Municipality. 

Moreover, even the management of monetary offer (bheti) would be made transparent with an online system in place, according to Committee Executive Director, Prajin Hangbang.

The Pathivara Temple is located at an altitude of 3,794 meters.

The security forces rescued passengers trapped in the Roshi River flood along the BP Highway last night.

Five microbuses were trapped after the river flooded all of a sudden, turning the way into an island between Laskot and Ghumaune of Roshi Rural Municipality-7 along the BP Highway. They were evacuated to safety overnight.

Eighty-nine passengers were rescued on time, according to Chief of Kavre Police Office, Komal Shah.

 A joint team of the Nepal Army, the Nepal Police and the Armed Police Force conducted a rescue operation with utmost coordination. 

Chief District Officer in Kavre, Gopal Adhikari, was also in the field to ensure prompt rescue works. 

The vehicles heading to Kathmandu from various Tarai and hilly districts were trapped in the flooded Roshi River in the wake of sudden rainfall. Successful rescue of the stranded passengers was possible due to security forces' high alertness and hard work. 

For over two years, the Roshi River has been a menace for the vehicles as the BP Highway on the river bank was damaged by the massive flood. Temporary diversion is created to ensure travel, but a permanent solution in the 18-km stretch is awaited.  

Following the highway blockage, vehicles heading to the east were stopped at Dhulikhel and Kavrebhanjyang, while those heading to Kathmandu at Mangaltar, Sindhuli, according to the District Traffic Office, Banepa.

The Nepal Police and the Traffic Police had repeatedly urged the drivers to avoid the route considering adverse weather, triggering floods at any time along the road. Even the general public is asked to maintain alertness while travelling through this route.

The drivers' ignoring suggestion and timely alertness have been taken under control by the District Police Office, Dhulikhel.

Generally cloudy weather is predicted in the hilly and mountainous regions while partly cloudy in Tarai region across the country today.

The Weather Forecasting Division has forecasted rainfall with thunder and lightning in some places in Koshi and Gandaki Provinces and few places in other provinces later today.

Similarly, it will be generally cloudy in Koshi, Madhes, Bagmati and Gandaki Provinces while partly cloudy in the rest of the places at night. 

Few places in Koshi, Madhes and Bagmati Provinces are expected to have moderate rainfall with thunder later tonight, the weather service added.

Russia and Ukraine have declared competing unilateral ceasefires in their four-year war, Aljazeera reported. 

Russia announced on Monday that its ceasefire would be between May 8-9, when it traditionally marks Victory Day in the Great Patriotic War (as it calls World War II) with a major military parade in Moscow. Kyiv said later that it was calling its own ceasefire for May 5-6.

“In accordance with a decision of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Armed Forces, Vladimir Putin, a ceasefire has been declared from May 8–9, 2026,” the Russian Ministry of Defence said in a post on the state-backed messaging app MAX. “We hope that the Ukrainian side will follow suit.”

US intelligence assessments indicate that the time Iran would need to build a nuclear weapon has not changed since last summer, when analysts estimated that a US-Israeli attack had pushed back the timeline to up to a year, according to three sources familiar with the matter, Reuters reported. 

The assessments of Tehran’s nuclear programme remain broadly unchanged even after two months of a war that US President Donald Trump launched in part to stop the Islamic Republic from developing a nuclear bomb.

The latest US and Israeli attacks that began on Feb 28 have focused on conventional military targets, but Israel has hit a number of significant nuclear facilities.
