In a post on Truth Social, Trump asserted that the US don't need people to join wars after it has already won them. That's OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don't need them any longer -- But we will remember. That is the special relationship in action. That is the special relationship in action. That is the special relationship in action.

The recently showcased Louis Vuitton Spring-Summer 2026 Men’s Collection illuminated the influence of modern Indian sartorialism on the global contemporary wardrobe and reflected it in the dandyism at the core of the Studio Homme. Framed by a scenographic dialogue with Studio Mumbai—the architectural visionaries fusing Indian tradition and modernity—the proposal was infused with the sensory environments of India. The impressions inspired Men’s Creative Director Pharrell Williams to reflect on the multi-faceted sensibilities of present-day Indian sartorialism:clothes, cuts, colours and craftsmanship conditioned by a connection to city, nature and the vitality of the sun. Here are our five picks embodying the house’s signature savoir-faire that celebrate the spirit of travel.

A raging war in West Asia and a World Cup final at home have sent airfares soaring. Travel agents said that even expensive fares between Calcutta and Newark normally range between ₹75,000 and ₹80,000 one way. He paid ₹2.2 lakh for an economy ticket on a Japan Airlines flight from Delhi to Tokyo and then onwards to Chicago. World Cup impactFares from Calcutta to Ahmedabad spiked on Saturday because of the T20 World Cup final. IndiGo has three flights from Calcutta to Ahmedabad, with one-way fares for Sunday exceeding ₹20,000, compared with the usual ₹10,000.

Emirates’ first flight to Calcutta since February 28 departed from Dubai on Saturday evening, after several hours of delay due to a drone attack near Dubai International Airport. The flight left Dubai around 7.45pm IST, marking Emirates’ first service to Calcutta since the outbreak of the war in West Asia, airport officials and tour operators said. The last Emirates flight before the suspension had departed Dubai at 9.35am on February 28, prior to the airspace closures. Earlier on Saturday, a flydubai flight carrying 163 stranded passengers from Dubai arrived in Calcutta at 12.53am. A Qatar Airways cargo flight from Hong Kong to Doha was diverted to Calcutta dueto sudden airspace restrictions on Saturday, Calcutta airport officials said.

What is clear is that the Ayatollah, who ruled Iran with diabolical despotism for nearly four decades, is dead. When news came of the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, my first reaction was to celebrate. In private conversations and on social media, I have spent most of last week discussing the dead despot with various people. This could well be true, and if things go wrong from here onwards, then the United States will be held accountable. If we are, then it is my fervent hope that we pick the team that is led by the United States and Israel, because this is the team with democracies in it.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday raised the possibility of the war against Iran ending only once that country no longer has a functioning military or any remaining leadership in power. Late into the night, Iran's Revolutionary Guards said they had targeted an Israeli refinery, according to state media. Tehran has responded to the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran by hitting Israel and Gulf Arab states hosting U.S. military installations. Trump reiterated his demand for a say in selecting Iran's new supreme leader, a notion rejected by Iravani. Hardline clerics have called for the swift selection of a new supreme leader, Iranian media reported on Saturday, with meetings occurring as soon as Sunday.

Mamata Banerjee on Saturday threatened to topple the Narendra Modi government, citing its dependence on allies like the Telugu Desam, and announced she would travel nationwide after the Bengal elections to expose the Centre’s misdeeds. The BJP leadership mocked Mamata for claiming she could topple the Modi government. Now she is claiming she will topple the Modi government,” state BJP president Samik Bhattacharya said. Union minister of state Sukanta Majumdar advised Mamata to save her chair in Bengal first before dreaming about venturing to Delhi. Mamata urged the “judicial system” to ensure the people of Bengal get justice during the SIR.

More than 150 Iranian nationals including diplomats and their families left Lebanon on Saturday, a senior Lebanese security source told Reuters, after the Israeli military threatened Iran's representatives in Lebanon and conducted strikes near the embassy. Hezbollah official Mahmoud Qmati earlier this week denied that any Iranian military forces were in the country. On Friday, Israeli air strikes hit an area near Iran's embassy in Lebanon, two security sources told Reuters. The Iranian embassy source told Reuters that the strikes had driven the decision for Iranian diplomats to leave. Reuters could not determine whether the diplomats who had left so far were ousted or left for security reasons.

Katyusha rockets targeted the U.S. embassy in Baghdad on Saturday and sirens sounded, security sources and witnesses said, though it was not immediately clear whether the rockets caused any damage or casualties. The attack was the first time the embassy had been fired on in more than two years. ADVERTISEMENTExplosions were heard near the embassy in central Baghdad around 9 p.m. (1800 GMT), and sirens warning people to take cover sounded, witnesses said. A senior Iraqi security official told Reuters the C-RAM defence system brought down one of the rockets and that none landed inside the embassy. The attack indicates that Iran-aligned Iraqi militias — who have vowed to retaliate for the killing of Iran’s supreme leader — have widened their targets beyond U.S. military bases in Iraqi Kurdistan and U.S. energy interests to now include the U.S. Embassy.

Mitchell Santner seemed to echo Pat Cummins's famous words two years ago ahead of Sunday's final. "I wouldn't mind breaking a few hearts to lift the trophy for once," the New Zealand captain said. "I wouldn't mind winning a trophy. Also Read Suryakumar Yadav future in focus ahead of T20 World Cup final showdown"It's been no different this time. But yeah, I wouldn't mind breaking a few hearts to lift the trophy for once."

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli had decided to retire from T20 cricket after the World Cup victory at Bridgetown two years ago. ADVERTISEMENTThere has been no discussion officially, but it is unlikely that Surya, 35, will be allowed to continue when the next T20 World Cup takes place in 2028, in Australia and New Zealand. Even if Surya doesn’t make an announcement after Sunday’s final, he is expected to make an announcement before India’s next series. We’ll get to play a final at the Narendra Modi Stadium. As we were at the Wankhede, we wanted to be very relaxed, be in the present and not think about what will happen in the final.”

More than 20% of the world’s total oil and gas shipments, and nearly 40% of India’s, pass through the strait. Since February 28, when the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran, and Iran retaliated, ship traffic across the strait has reduced by some 95%. Iran hopes that closing the strait will force world opinion to bear upon Israel and the U.S. to end the conflict. The strait is a leverage that Iran has historically exercised, such as during the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s. Why the closure of Strait of Hormuz is causing fears about elevating crude oil pricesHow does the situation affect India’s economy and oil prices?

Arshdeep Singh’s wide yorkers seem to have become the butt of all jokes even among his teammates. The left-arm seamer’s ploy of trying to restrict the marauding batters with wide yorkers hasn’t always delivered the results. With Varun Chakravarthy too struggling, it has been left to Jasprit Bumrah to weather the storm on most occasions. While Varun is nowhere near his menacing self, Arshdeep too has failed to maintain his consistency. Varun has been the most expensive in the tournament with 8.85, followed by Arshdeep at 8.53.
