Somali pirates have hijacked an oil tanker off the coast of Yemen, according to multiple Somali security officials, BBC reported. 

The Yemeni coastguard earlier said the tanker MT Eureka had been hijacked and was headed towards Somalia. Sources said it was overrun by pirates in the Gulf of Aden, near the port of Qana.

The pirates departed a remote coastal area near the seaside town of Qandala, which sits on the Gulf of Aden, according to three separate security officials from the semi-autonomous Puntland region, according to BBC. 

United States President Donald Trump has said he is reviewing Iran’s 14-point proposal to end his war on the country, while warning that Washington could restart air strikes if Tehran “misbehaves," Aljazeera reported. 

Speaking to reporters in Florida before boarding Air Force One on Saturday, Trump confirmed that he had been briefed on the “concept of the deal”.

Despite the diplomatic opening, the US president struck a characteristically blunt tone regarding the possibility of renewed hostilities, which have been paused since the announcement of a ceasefire between the sides on April 7.

Daniel Ballard became the second defender to be sent off for pulling the hair of Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Tolu Arokodare in the Premier League this season, as Sunderland squandered a lead in a 1-1 draw on May 2, Reuters reported. 

Everton's Michael Keane received a straight red for the same offence in January, and was a given three-match suspension for violent conduct.

Ballard was holding and pulling a handful of Arokodare's hair as they moved backwards to receive a high ball, until the Nigerian went down, grabbing his head. Referee Paul Tierney sent off Ballard after reviewing the incident on the pitchside monitor.

The Ministry of Land Management, Cooperatives and Poverty Alleviation has started land screening for the squatters. The process is assisted by the Soil-Archiving Management System (SAMS).

It aims to find out whether the people claiming to be landless actually have their own land somewhere else in the country.

Ministry Joint-Secretary and Spokesperson Ganesh Prasad Bhatta said the examination is based on various policies, rules and procedures and the government is committed to making it transparent and effective. 

Now, the Ministry is collecting the names of squatters in the Kathmandu Valley and it is in the process of identifying the genuine landless squatters. 

The identification would pave the way to sustainable management of landless squatters, it is said. 

A total of 110 land revenue, 21 land reform and revenue offices function under the Ministry.
