CANADA Asked about his idea that Canada should be a U.S. state, Trump said: “You get rid of that artificially drawn line, and you take a look at what that looks like, and it would also be much better for national security. Don’t forget, we basically protect Canada. But here’s the problem with Canada. So many friends up there, I love the Canadian people. They’re great, but we’re spending hundreds of billions a year to protect it. We’re spending hundreds of billions a year to take care of Canada. We lose in trade deficits.” ISRAELI HOSTAGES IN GAZA “All hell will break out. If they’re not back by the …

After Kalinga Lancers and Tamil Nadu Dragons played out a thrilling 2-2 on Friday, which ended with the latter earning the bonus point after a sudden death, each team has played two matches in the men’s Hockey India League in Rourkela. UP Rudras and Shrachi Rarh Bengal Tigers are the only two teams to have won both their matches outright to set the early pace with six points. Here’s a look at some of the early trends emerging from the tournament. Drag flickers not having it easy It is generally considered that a conversion rate of 1 in 3 is par for the course from penalty corner situations in the men’s game. But coming into the match on Friday there were 12 PC goals from just over 60 PCs taken, putting the rate at around 19%. The likes of Harmanpreet Singh, and Gonzalo Peillat have been thwarted by some fine goalkeeping and the improvement in PC defence is also largely down to the first-rushers. In Match No.8, however, a couple of star drag flickers did …

President-elect Donald Trump addressed reporters in a wide-ranging news conference on Monday, in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, covering topics from vaccine access to pharmaceutical prices, the potential TikTok ban, and his evolving political relationships. The event marked Trump’s first public Q&A since his election victory. The lengthy press conference was a stark contrast to President Joe Biden’s more reserved public presence. Access to polio vaccine amid vaccine skepticism Trump sought to ease concerns over vaccine policy by affirming that the polio vaccine will remain accessible, despite his appointment of prominent vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as health secretary. “You’re not going to lose the polio vaccine,” Trump said, addressing fears following reports of a petition filed by one of Kennedy’s advisers to revoke its approval. Trump highlighted the high costs of pharmaceuticals, blaming ‘middlemen’ for inflating prices. (AP photo) Trump acknowledged concerns about rising autism diagnoses, reiterating his belief that there might be an undiscovered cause. “[Kennedy] is going to be much less radical than you would think,” Trump said, defending his pick while expressing a …

Who moved the J&K Assembly resolution, to what it says, and doesn’t: Key takeaways from special status move | Political Pulse News

Published by Parlour News

On Wednesday, the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly passed a resolution on special status, seeking a “dialogue” with the Union Territory’s elected representatives for restoration of the same as well as constitutional guarantees, “and to work out constitutional mechanisms for restoring these provisions”. The resolution, brought by the Omar Abdullah government in the first Session of the newly elected House, was carefully worded – while it fulfilled one of the key promises made by the National Conference in its election manifesto, it was careful not to ruffle feathers in the BJP-led Centre, especially when the latter seems inclined to fulfill the other big J&K demand, of return of statehood. There were other messages too in the resolution, which marked the first formal rejection in J&K of decisions taken by the Centre on August 5, 2019, scrapping the special status of the erstwhile state via abrogation of Article 370, and its downgrade to two UTs. The key takeaways: The face to move the resolution While the NC won a simple majority on its own in the Assembly …

Anees Bazmee’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 hit the screens this weekend. The Kartik Aaryan-starrer is going strong at the box office, minting over ₹150 crore despite the mixed critical response. Clearly, the audiences are liking the film. But what makes it watchable (or skippable)? Here’s a lowdown on the key takeaways from the horror comedy. But be careful; spoilers ahead! Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 marks the return of Kartik Aaryan and Vidya Balan, along with and Madhuri Dixit. Kartik Aaryan can act The first two hours of the film see Kartik Aaryan channelling his inner Akshay Kumar, which is ironic given he is the one who launched the Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise 17 years ago. Everything from Kartik’s mannerisms to his delivery is reminiscent of the senior star. But in the climax, the tables are turned as Kartik is finally allowed to perform. His emotional turn in the heart-tugging climax takes you back to Chandu Champion and Freddy, his two finest performances, reminding you that yes, Kartik can act. Vidya Balan owns Bhool Bhulaiyaa Another throwback to part …
