 Donald Trump today became the first felon in the White House after a US court upheld his conviction in a hush money case. He has been sentenced to an 'unconditional discharge' for covering up unaccounted payments to porn star Stormy Daniels. This means that the President-elect has been found guilty of his charges, but will not face any jail time or penalty because he has been elected President of the United States and will take oath to the country's highest office on January 20 - a post that brings with itself an impunity of being above the law while in office and beyond. And so, though the 34 counts of Donald Trump falsifying business records on which he was convicted in May 2024 carried potential jail time, the judge could do little about it, ending up having to spare the President-elect. Should he not have been the president, Donald Trump would have been jailed for a term of four years. Instead he will now return to the White House as President for another four. ALSO RE...

 Prime Minister Narendra Modi made his podcast debut on Nikhil Kamath’s “People” podcast on January 10, engaging in a lively and candid conversation. The discussion touched on various aspects of the PM’s life, including his eating habits and his early days in public service. Towards the end of the chat, Kamath brought up a light-hearted topic about the viral “Melodi memes” featuring Modi and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. With a playful tone, Kamath remarked, “Mera favourite food, agar aap poochein, toh pizza hai aur pizza Italy se hai aur log kehte hain ki aapko Internet pe Italy ke baare mei bohot kuch milta hai, aap iske baare mei kuch kehna chahe ge” (If you ask me, my favorite food is pizza, and pizza is from Italy.

 Chaos engulfed Los Angeles on Wednesday as fierce Santa Ana winds fuelled wildfires that tore through the region. Pacific Palisades, known for its luxurious homes, suffered severe devastation, with flames consuming residences and landmarks, including Temescal Canyon and sections of Palisades Charter High School. Towering plumes of smoke, visible from miles away, shrouded the city in darkness. Inland foothills faced a similar plight as fires near a nature reserve prompted emergency evacuations of senior citizens, many in wheelchairs, who were temporarily stranded in parking lots. In Pacific Palisades, roadblocks and abandoned vehicles hampered evacuations, requiring bulldozers to clear paths for emergency responders. Firefighters battled relentless winds, some reaching up to 100 mph, and dry conditions that accelerated the fires’ spread. With over 30,000 residents displaced and power outages affecting 200,000 people, resources were stretched thin, prompting calls for off-duty firef...
