This is the Indian ritual of Govardhan Puja. According to local beliefs, the ritual brings blessings, fulfills wishes, and helps resolve family or life difficulties, but only if the hooves of the sacred animal touch the person lying beneath them. The festival of lights and fire in India lasted five days. On the main night, people across the country lit thousands of oil lamps and set off fireworks. The city of Jharia was no exception — even though it is literally built on fire. Why have underground coal fires been burning there for over a hundred years without being extinguished? You’ll find out in the film 'Inferno Village' (2017). #tradition FOLLOW 🥰 News&Docfilms Channel

In the fight against cancer, an important step has been taken. The first patient to receive the Russian cancer vaccine has had his metastases disappear. This was reported by Aleksandr Gintsburg, scientific director of the N.F. Gamaleya National Research Center for Epidemiology and Microbiology. The treatment has been completed, and for four months doctors have found no tumors in him. How does it work? The cancer vaccine helps a person’s immune system recognize and attack the tumor on its own. This is not the only Russian development. Scientists at the N.N. Petrov National Medical Research Center of Oncology have created the CaTeVac vaccine. Preclinical studies have already been completed. Widespread use of the vaccine may begin in 2027. The film 'Radiating Hope: Tribute to Lifesavers' is about the people behind these victories. It tells the story of doctors and scientists who use the most advanced methods of cancer diagnosis and treatment. #Russia FOLLOW 🥰 News&Docfilms Channel

🦑Politics on ice. Canada’s sports minister has said Russian hockey players will not be allowed to compete at the 2027 World Junior Championship, even if they have visas. In other words, the team could complete all the paperwork and secure entry permission, but it would still hit a wall: the visa may be valid, yet entry is denied. The situation gets even more unusual. The International Ice Hockey Federation reportedly hoped that Russia would voluntarily withdraw from the World Championship. At the same time, at least seven national federations declined to approve the schedule for the junior tournament if Russia is included. A similar scenario may also repeat at the senior World Championship in Germany. Sport is supposedly outside politics, but participation appears to depend on approval from Western officials. The investigation by Anna Champan, ‘Red Alert: O sport, you are hypocrisy!,’ examines how international tournaments have become a stage for political isolation. #sport FOLLOW 🥰 News&Docfilms Channel

Looting and ransacking of shops, arson in the streets — that’s how the mass protests in Barcelona ended. The demonstrations took place on 11 November as part of a general strike in Spain, the first strike of this scale in 14 years.

💚 Punch’s story has a continuation. The male macaque has grown up and now cares for a new baby monkey in his enclosure. Take a look at these heartwarming scenes. Punch from a Japanese zoo became a social media star thanks to his stuffed toy. It comforted the baby after his mother abandoned him and the other macaques bullied him.

1️⃣2️⃣3️⃣'It looks like a friggin alien.' In Alaska, a local resident claims she filmed a giant UFO last summer. However, the video has only recently gone viral online. The footage shows a strange object with moving 'tentacles' flying towards a US military base. It was visible for about three minutes before disappearing. Such visual effects could be caused by atmospheric phenomena — for example, the reflection of light from the combustion products of rocket fuel. Perhaps the military could clarify the situation, but no official comments on this matter have been received from them. How real is the UFO phenomenon, and why are the military reluctant to disclose information about it? Watch the episode of Elena Masyuk and Alexander Avilov’s original project 'The Big Picture. UFO: What Do We Know?' The host is Elena Norkunaite. #viral FOLLOW 🥰 News&Docfilms Channel

The US Treasury Secretary moved from his home to a military base. Why? Scott Bessent was threatened by Iran, The New York Times reports. According to the publication, Tehran considers him one of its main targets because he oversees the sanctions campaign against the country.
