Telegram founder Pavel Durov on why he fathered over 100 kids: ‘They are all…'
Pavel Durov, founder and CEO of instant messaging app Telegram, said he will leave his estimated $13.9 billion fortune for more than 100 children he has fathered. File photo of Pavel Durov(AFP) In an interview with French political magazine Le Point, the 40-year-old revealed that he is the 'official father' of six children with three different partners, while the scores of others came through sperm donation. The Russia-born tech tycoon, who recently wrote his will, said he does not differentiate between his legal children and those who were conceived with the sperm he donated. 'They are all my children and will all have the same rights! I don't want them to tear each other apart after my death,' CNN quoted Durov as saying. The businessman stated that he 'started donating sperm 15 years ago' at a clinic to help his friend. Later on, he was informed that 'more than 100 babies had been conceived this way in 12 countries.' This isn't the first time Durov has addressed this matter. Last year, he shared on Telegram that a doctor told him that it was his 'civic duty' to donate his 'high quality donor material'. However, Durov told the magazine that none of his children will be granted access to their inheritance for 30 years. Why so? Durov, currently in Dubai, wants them to live like 'normal people, to build themselves up alone, to learn to trust themselves, to be able to create, not to be dependent on a bank account.' Asked why he wrote his will at the age of 40, Durov said his job involves risk as defending freedoms earns you many enemies, including within powerful states. Durov asserted that he wants to protect his children as well as Telegram, which looks forward to remaining 'faithful to the values I defend.' He even spoke about the criminal charges he faces in France, where he was arrested last year on charges relating to a host of crimes. These included allegations that Telegram was complicit in aiding drug traffickers as well as people spreading child pornography, according to CNN. Durov has called these charges 'absurd.' FAQs: 1. What is Pavel Durov's net worth? According to Bloomberg, he has an estimated net worth of $13.9 billion. 2. Where is Pavel Durov now? Durov is currently in Dubai, where his company is based. He holds dual citizenship of France and the UAE. 3. When was Telegram launched? Durov founded Telegram in 2013. The social media app remains highly popular in Russia.

Trump gives Iran a 2-week window to open negotiations before considering US military action
Washington, June 20 (UNI) Mulling over US options, President Donald Trump has said that it will give Iran a two-week window to open negotiations before considering direct US military intervention in the conflict, reports CNN. White House officials have expressed hope that Trump's hardline stance, coupled with Israel's relentless strikes against Iranian missile infrastructure – which Tel Aviv says has decimated two-thirds of Tehran's missile launching capabilities – will open windows for negotiations, and allow both countries to come to a deal. For its part, Iran has refused to budge an inch, with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khomeini warning of serious repercussions for the US, if it intervenes militarily. In a statement read out by the White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said that there was a "substantial chance of negotiations" with Iran, though did not confirm anything. Meanwhile, CBS News has reported that while Trump has approved plans to attack Iran, and has been diverting military supplies to American bases in the Middle East, he has still not decided whether or not to go through with military attacks. He is reportedly weighing an attack on Iran's underground uranium enrichment facility at Fordo, and is one of the most difficult areas to strike. The Fordo complex is built deep within northern Iran's rugged, remote mountains and is designed to withstand air strikes, with its underground location shielding it from conventional bombs. Despite the Israeli military's capabilities, the Fordo complex presents a very unique challenge for the IDF, because of the sheer depth of its underground facilities. To cause any meaningful damage to the site it would need to be targeted by a 'bunker buster' munition that is able to penetrate deep below the surface. While Israel possesses the resources to destroy underground bunkers, it does not have the bombing capabilities required to destroy a complex like the Ford plant. However, the US is believed to have a bomb which might do the trick – the GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) – which can strike 61m deep. But even that may prove insufficient to destroy the Ford, as the tunnels go 80-90m below the surface. UNI ANV GNK

Why are people protesting against Jeff Bezos' wedding in Venice?
Amazon's founder Jeff Bezos is all set to marry journalist Lauren Sánchez next week in a extravagant ceremony in the Italian city of Venice. Over the next week, 'The Floating City', that Venice is often referred to as, will hence see an influx of hundreds of high-profile guests for the event which will reportedly spread over the whole island of San Giorgio. However, not everyone in the city is happy about it. The news of the world's richest person choosing their city as for his 'destination wedding' has sparked protests among a section of people — the resistance being a part of a larger anti-tourism protests across southern Europe. The 61-year-old Bezos, with a net worth of $220.9 billion, will tie the knot with his fiancée Sánchez in a multi-million event with nuptials scheduled from June 23 till June 28. According to Italian media, most of the luxury hotels and water taxis have been booked out for the celebrated guests attending the ceremony that can shut parts of the city in the coming week. And, a section of Venetians are opposing this 'mass tourism' or 'overtourism' that such lavish weddings induce. While tourism is key to the city's economy, many residents rue that the rising number of tourists has ousted the locals and significantly harmed the city's historic landmarks. They accuse the local authorities of favouring billionaires over residents and turning Venice into a place that puts tourists, and not its residents, at the centre of its politics. 'Venice is being treated like a showcase, a stage… And this wedding is the symbol of the exploitation of the city by outsiders… Venice is now just an asset,' the BBC quoted Federica Toninelli, a 33-year-old Venetian activist, as saying. The protesters have been demonstrating against the extremely hyped event since last week as as they gathered with signs that read 'No space for Bezos', put up banners against the billionaire from the bell tower of the San Giorgio Maggiore basilica and the Rialto Bridge. In social media posts, they have urged people to join the protests and accused conservative Venice Mayor Luigi Brugnaro of treating city dwellers 'like a nuisance… because for him the only valid use of Venice is as a backdrop for events that make the rich richer.' Next week, they plan to disrupt the wedding festivities by jumping into the canals to obstruct the water taxis and blocking Venice's narrow streets, to prevent the wedding guests from reaching the venue. Meanwhile, Brugnaro is hoping that the stir do not dissuade Bezos and Sanchez from sticking to their plans. 'We will have to apologise to Bezos. I am ashamed of those who behave like this. I hope that Bezos comes anyway. Not all Venetians think like these protesters,' CNN has quoted Brugnaro as saying. Luca Zaia, the head of the surrounding Veneto region, has termed the protests a disgrace. 'I want Jeff Bezos to be welcomed with open arms in Venice. Protesting against those who bring visibility and wealth to our territory is, in my opinion, a disgrace,' CNN has quoted him as saying. Overtourism has been Venice's long-standing problem with the Unesco World Heritage city recording an average of 30 million footfalls each year, majority of them day-trippers, The Guardian reported. However, a new record was set last year with over 3.9 million visitors staying overnight in the city's historic centre. The day-trippers are the tourists who visit the city for the day without staying overnight. They form a significant factor in the overtourism problem, as they contribute to the crowds and strain on resources, without contributing to overnight tourist taxes. An experimental project to combat overtourism was launched last year by introducing a day-tripper fee of €5. This was extended this year too, while doubling the fee for the last-minute day-trippers — those booking their trip in the last three days before their journey. With this initiative aimed at deterring day visitors during busy periods, Venice became the world's first major tourist city to charge people for justing entering. Efforts to combat overtourism have resulted in a 10-euro daytripper entrance fee on weekends and peak periods while more residents are pushed out every year due to a dwindling lack of services like schools, hospitals and affordable housing. Even as the fee did little in terms of reducing the number of Venice's visitors, it did collected €2.4million for the city's coffers. Not losing hope, Venice authorities believe it would eventually help in reducing the number of tourist footfalls.
