King Charles III's younger son and other high-profile figures allege that MGN engaged in unlawful activities, including phone hacking, at its titles and are seeking damages.

Prince Harry to make history with UK court testimony in case against British tabloid

Prince Harry will become the first senior British royal to give evidence in court for more than a century on Tuesday when he testifies against Mirror Group Newspapers in a snooping case. 

King Charles III's younger son and other high-profile figures allege that MGN engaged in unlawful activities, including phone hacking, at its titles and are seeking damages.

Prince Harry was the target of illegal information-gathering even as a young schoolboy, his lawyer told a London court Monday in his case against a tabloid newspaper publisher.
The 38-year-old prince will become the first senior British royal to give evidence in court for more than a century on Tuesday when he testifies against Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN).
King Charles III's younger son and other high-profile figures allege that MGN engaged in unlawful activities, including phone hacking, at its titles and are seeking damages.
Banks of photographers and camera crews gathered outside London's High Court in anticipation of Harry's arrival for opening speeches in the case.
But his lawyer, David Sherborne, said Harry will not take the stand until Tuesday, as he had been celebrating his daughter Princess Lilibet's second birthday and only flew to the UK late Sunday.
That earned him a rebuke from the judge Timothy Fancourt, who said he was "a little surprised" that the prince was not in court on Monday.
Sherborne said stories about Harry were clearly a money spinner for tabloids and started when he was aged 11.
The pursuit of stories by illegal methods even continued after "the tragic death of his mother" Princess Diana in a Paris car crash in 1997 while she was being pursued by photographers.
"No aspect of the young prince's life was safe" from press intrusion and Harry's phone "would have been hacked on multiple occasions", he submitted.
MGN's lawyer Andrew Green said there was "no evidence" the prince's phone was hacked "let alone on a habitual basis" and that payment records used in the claim "do not demonstrate" unlawful information-gathering.

Pence has filed his nomination papers with the Federal Election Commission

Ex-US Vice-President Mike Pence to run for President in direct challenge to former boss Trump

Republican former vice president Mike Pence launched Monday his hotly-anticipated challenge to one-time boss Donald Trump for the party's 2024 White House nomination

Pence has filed his nomination papers with the Federal Election Commission

Republican former vice president Mike Pence launched Monday his hotly-anticipated challenge to one-time boss Donald Trump for the party's 2024 White House nomination, setting up the unusual scenario of two running mates becoming rivals.
Pence, a 63-year-old evangelical Christian, filed his nomination papers with the Federal Election Commission ahead of an official declaration to be made by video Wednesday in the early voting state of Iowa -- joining an already crowded primary field.
He spent his 2017-21 tenure as vice president honing his reputation as a loyal deputy who brought the religious right into the tent and who was willing to defend the president against any accusation.
But he became a pariah in Trumpworld after rejecting the Republican leader's demands that he overturn the 2020 election in his role as president of the Senate.
Berated constantly by Trump after Joe Biden's victory -- and even heckled at a conservative conference with chants of "traitor!" -- Pence continued to praise the tycoon in public.
That eventually changed as Trump's torrent of false claims of election fraud led to a mob chanting for Pence to be hanged at the US Capitol.
Since the riot, Pence has called out Trump for endangering his family and has emphasized his differences with the former president on issues ranging from the handling of Russian leader Vladimir Putin to abortion rights.

Odisha train accident: King Charles sends condolence message, recalls his 1980 visit to state

Britain’s King Charles III on Monday sent a condolence message to President Droupadi Murmu, expressing his profound shock and sadness over the deadly train accident in Balasore.

The 74-year-old monarch also reflected upon his fond memories of a visit to Odisha 43 years ago.

Britain&rsquo;s King Charles III on Monday sent a condolence message to President Droupadi Murmu, expressing his profound shock and sadness over the deadly train accident in Balasore, recalling his fond memories of a visit to Odisha 43 years ago.
The accident, involving three trains, is one of the worst in the country and took place in Odisha's Balasore district on Friday night which has claimed an estimated 275 lives and left over 1,200 people injured.
&ldquo;Both my wife [Queen Camilla] and I have been most profoundly shocked and saddened by the news of such a dreadful accident outside Balasore. I would like to express our deepest possible condolences to the families of all those who have so tragically lost their lives,&rdquo; Charles was quoted as saying in a statement issued by Buckingham Palace.
In the statement that was also posted across the royal social media channels, the 74-year-old monarch speaks of the special place in his heart for India and reflects upon his fond memories of a visit to Odisha 43 years ago.
&ldquo;I do hope you know what a special place India and the people of India have in our hearts. I have particularly fond memories of visiting Odisha in 1980 and meeting some of its people on that occasion," it said.
"I pray, therefore, that you may be able to convey our most heartfelt prayers and sympathy to all those who have been affected by this appalling tragedy, together with our special thoughts for the people of Odisha,&rdquo; the King concludes.
The message follows several condolence messages from the UK government, including from Prime Minister Rishi Sunak who extended his &ldquo;heartfelt support and admiration to the survivors and those working tirelessly to respond&rdquo; to the accident.
On Sunday, British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly also expressed condolences to the families of the victims of the Odisha train tragedy.

Every year Tengger tribe members from surrounding highlands gather at the top of the volcano in hope of pleasing their gods

Watch: cattle, food and other offerings tossed into Indonesia's active volcano

Thousands of worshippers scaled an active Indonesian volcano on Monday to toss livestock, food and other offerings into its smoking crater in a centuries-old religious ceremony.

Every year Tengger tribe members from surrounding highlands gather at the top of the volcano in hope of pleasing their gods

Thousands of worshippers scaled an active Indonesian volcano on Monday to toss livestock, food and other offerings into its smoking crater in a centuries-old religious ceremony.
Swarming the thin rim around the basin of Mount Bromo, devotees heaved goats, chickens and vegetables slung across their backs up to the dusty peak as part of the Yadnya Kasada festival.
Every year Tengger tribe members from surrounding highlands gather at the top of the volcano -- famed for its stunning sunrise views -- in hope of pleasing their gods and bringing luck to the Tenggerese, an Indigenous group in eastern Java.
Slamet, a 40-year-old farmer who like many Indonesians goes by only one name, brought a baby cow as an offering.
"We have a lot of cows back home and this one can be considered excess, so we are bringing it here... to return it back to God," he told AFP.
"This is also an act of gratitude to God for giving us prosperity... We return it back to God so we can come back here next year."
The calf had a lucky escape as it was handed to a villager after Slamet's prayers instead of being sacrificed to the volcanic cauldron.
Some villagers who do not belong to the Tengger tribe took to the crater's steep slopes equipped with nets in an attempt to intercept offerings thrown into the abyss and avoid them going to waste.
Farmer Joko Priyanto brought some of his own produce in the form of cabbages and carrots to lob down into the smoky void.
"I hope I will receive a reward from the almighty God," the 36-year-old said.
&nbsp;
- 'Better income' - &nbsp;
Monday's ritual was the first time since the Covid-19 pandemic that authorities had allowed tourists to the site after the festival was limited to worshippers last year.
The event has its roots in 15th-century folklore from the Majapahit kingdom, a Javanese Hindu-Buddhist empire that stretched across Southeast Asia.
Legend has it that Princess Roro Anteng and her husband, unable to bear children after years of marriage, begged the gods for help.
Their prayers were answered when they were promised 25 children, as long as they agreed to sacrifice their youngest child by throwing him into Mount Bromo.
Their son is said to have willingly jumped into the volcano to guarantee the prosperity of the Tengger people.
For shopkeeper Rohim, who travelled from a nearby Javan city on Monday to launch potatoes, leeks and cash into the lava, it was a chance to pray for good luck. He said his fortunes had improved following previous visits.
"Business has been better than before, hence my coming here," the 32-year-old said.
"I'm hoping my business can improve so next year I can come back."

Odisha train crash: Rahul Gandhi in USA says BJP will blame what Congress did '50 yrs ago'

Gandhi and members of the Indian diaspora observed a 60-second silence in memory of those who died in the Odisha triple train crash tragedy.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi spoke about the recent Odisha train crash at an event in the United States of America.
At the event in New York on June 4, 2023, Gandhi and members of the Indian diaspora observed a 60-second silence in memory of those who died in the tragedy.
Gandhi said, "I remember a train accident when the Congress party was in power. Congress did not get up and say it is the fault of the British that the train crashed. The Congress minister said it is my responsibility that the train crashed, I'm resigning."
"If you ask them why the train accident occurred, they'll say that 50 years ago, Congress did something," the Congress leader added.
He further said, " That is the phenomenon of Narendra Modi. He is trying to drive the Indian car, and he only looks in the rearview mirror. And then he does not understand why this car is crashing, not moving forward."

Sydney's Harris Park renamed as 'Little India' | PM Modi in Australia

The announcement to declare Harris Park as 'Little India' was made by Australian Prime Minister Albanese as he welcomed Modi at the community event at the Qudos Bank Arena.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Australian counterpart on Tuesday jointly laid the foundation stone of 'Little India' gateway to be built in Harris Park as a symbol of the friendship between the two nations and to recognise the diaspora&rsquo;s immense contribution.
Harris Park is a hub in Western Sydney where the Indian community celebrates festivals and events such as Diwali and Australia Day.
The announcement to declare Harris Park as 'Little India' was made by Australian Prime Minister Albanese as he welcomed Modi at the community event at the Qudos Bank Arena.

Ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the US, a top American official said that India is a vibrant democracy, and anybody can visit Delhi to see it for themselves.
John Kirby, Coordinator for Strategic Communications at the National Security Council in the White House, made the comments on June 5, 2023. He said that the strength and health of democratic institutions will be part of the discussions between Modi and US President Joe Biden.
"Look, we never shy away. And you can do that with friends. You're supposed to do that with friends. You never shy away from expressing concerns that we might have with anyone around the world. But this (State) visit is really about advancing what is now and what we hope will be a deeper, stronger partnership and friendship going forward," Kirby said in response to a question.
"There are innumerable reasons why India certainly matters, not just bilaterally between the two of our nations, but multilaterally on very many levels. And the president is looking forward very much to having Prime Minister Modi here to talk about all those issues and to advance and deepen that partnership and that friendship," Kirby said.
