"Watch Out, China": Union Minister To NDTV On Apple's Bullish India Plans

India will gallop in electronics manufacturing and pull a major chunk of the sector away from China, Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar told NDTV in an interview, two days after Apple CEO Tim Cook personally opened the company's first retail store in India. The minister said China will have to "watch out" as India is on the path to becoming a giant in manufacturing. Tim Cook's move underscored the US tech titan's increasing focus on India as a key sales market and alternative manufacturing hub to China. "One of the great things about being in this job is to enjoy the feedback from people like Tim Cook and Pat Gelsinger (Intel CEO) and all the big leaders of the technology world come to India and honestly say, 'We are so impressed with what India is doing'," Mr Chandrasekhar, the Union Minister of State for Electronics and Technology, told NDTV. Apple is betting big on India - home to the second-highest number of smartphone users in the world,...

More Than 80 Killed, Over 100 Injured In Stampede In Yemen's Sanaa: Report

More than 80 people were killed and hundreds of others injured in a deadly stampede that broke out in Yemen's capital during a charity distribution, Huthi officials told AFP on Thursday. The latest tragedy to strike the Arabian Peninsula's poorest country came days ahead of the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr which marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan. At least "85 were killed and more than 322 were injured" after the stampede in the Bab al-Yemen district of Sanaa, a Huthi security official said. "Women and children were among the dead," he told AFP on the condition of anonymity because he is not authorised to speak to the press. A second health official confirmed the toll. An AFP correspondent in the Huthi-controlled capital said the incident took place inside a school where aid was being distributed. Security forces deployed heavily around the area as people flocked to the scene hoping to locate relatives but they were barred from accessing the s...

Will Rahul Gandhi Be Reinstated As MP? Verdict Likely Today

A sessions court in Gujarat's Surat is likely to pronounce its order on Thursday on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's plea for a stay on his conviction in a criminal defamation case over his "Modi surname" remark. A stay order could pave the way for Rahul Gandhi's reinstatement as a Member of Parliament. The court of Additional Sessions Judge RP Mogera had last Thursday reserved its verdict for April 20 on Mr Gandhi's application for a stay on conviction pending his appeal against a lower court's order sentencing him to two years in jail in the case. Mr Gandhi had earlier submitted that the trial court treated him harshly after being overwhelmingly influenced by his status as an MP. The 52-year-old politician was elected to the Lok Sabha from Wayanad in Kerala in 2019 but was disqualified a day after a metropolitan magistrate court in Surat on March 23 sentenced him to two years in jail in a case filed by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA Purnesh Modi under...

A Guide To Dating For Over 40s In The New Era Of Divorce, STDs And Tinder

When her 20-year marriage ended in 2018, Kathryn Dunn discovered that dating was not as she remembered it. Technology and a shifting culture had upended the standards of etiquette she had been familiar with. Once upon a time, the 57-year-old civil servant met potential partners through friends, at parties or while out on the town - a world where flirting was mostly done politely. By comparison, online dating felt like the Wild West. Sites displayed hundreds, even thousands, of potential matches. But Dunn found it was rare for any of the matches she made this way to evolve into relationships: Out of the 1,500 men she's chatted with online, she'd been on a first date with only between 20 and 30, and a second with just five or six. And while the number of men who didn't reply felt a little frustrating, there were some responses Dunn wished she'd never received. "You get guys who will also just send you naked pictures," she said. "Things have moved on a l...
