Congress has been the pre-eminent political party in India for decades–and it has long relied on the mystique of the Nehru-Gandhi family for its electoral success. Rahul’s great grandfather, Jawaharlal Nehru, was independent India’s first prime minister; his grandmother, Indira Gandhi, and father, the late Rajiv Gandhi, were both prime ministers. Rahul’s mother, Italian-born Sonia Gandhi, is the chief of Congress and wields immense power both in the party and the government....

Chief royal correspondent Jack Royston and royal commentator Kristen Meinzer discussed the possibility of Charles removing the titles which, according to a convention started in 1917 by King George V, they are now entitled to use after the enquiries at Buckingham Palace about the subject have been deferred. “There’s been no official update on this, and all indications so far are that the palace does not see this as a burning or pressing question that needs to have an immediate answer,” Royston told Meinzer after media speculation that Harry and Meghan’s children would not be made prince and princess began to grow following the death of Queen Elizabeth II on September 8....

The AB de Villiers-led batting brigade is the strongest of the tournament on paper; but when it comes to choking, no other team could match their skills. De Villiers and Peterson looked in good nick in the last game and so did Hashim Amla, before Umesh Yadav‘s pace set him up to edge one behind to the ‘keeper. Faf du Plessis and JP Duminy did well in the warm-up games but failed to capitalize on the brisk start against India, and the duo would be eager to get going against the mighty Pakistan pace attack today....

Speaking in an interview with Hollywood Reporter, Theron seems understanding but simultaneously disappointed at the decision. The Mad Max prequel will detail much of Furiosa’s backstory, which means heading into the past. While George Miller initially looked into the idea of using de-aging technology to keep using the same actress, the results weren’t up to par and the idea was ultimately shot down.
