Addison Pierre Maalouf, also known as YourFellowArab or Arab on YouTube, might have been taken by force in Haiti. He's well-known for visiting risky places that most people avoid. Maalouf hasn't posted anything on his Instagram since July last year. Some rumors say he went to Port-au-Prince in Haiti to interview Jimmy "Barbecue" Cherizier, a notorious figure, before he disappeared. According to Haiti24, the people who kidnapped Maalouf are following orders from a powerful gang leader called "Lanmò 100 jou," who is part of the "Viv Ansanm" group. They asked for a huge amount of money, $600,000, to let Maalouf go. Even after paying $40,000 as the first part of the ransom, the kidnappers still wanted more money for his full release.

Nitish Kumar will be sworn in as Chief Minister of Bihar for a seventh time on Sunday with support from the Bharatiya Janata Party, his on-again-off-again ally, sources told NDTV Friday, as the churn in the state's political landscape spins to a conclusion. For its backing, the BJP will get two Deputy Chief Minister berths, which mirrors the deal after the 2020 election. The Assembly won't be dissolved, and a poll won't be held, at this time, sources also said. Bihar will vote next year anyway, so it is understandable neither party is in a rush. The immediate focus will be on the Lok Sabha election. Both the BJP and the JDU have summoned their respective MPs and MLAs to close the deal. Sources said the Janata Dal (United) boss has cancelled all his engagements for January 28, including addressing a public meeting, sparking buzz he is set to reclaim his 'paltu Kumar' nickname by reversing his 2022 jump from Prime Minister Narendra Modi's BJP to Lalu Yadav's Rashtriya Janata Dal, which itself was a reprisal of his 2017 shuffle of loyalties. NDTV has been told Nitish Kumar's return to the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance will follow a detailed game-plan that will begin with the nomination of an Assembly Speaker and include re-shuffling of the cabinet - one ministerial berth for every four MLAs - to accommodate BJP leaders. Crucially, the terms of Nitish's ghar wapsi are said to include a reduction in Lok Sabha seats offered to the JDU. In 2019 the party contested 17 and won 16 seats, but will have to settle for 12-15 seats now, given its weakened position - coming off this switch - and the need to accommodate other NDA partners. inside Story Of Nitish's Stunning U-Turn-Again - Just Before Polls Nitish's BJP re-alignment, though not yet confirmed, gained currency after his former deputy (and close aide), Sushil Kumar Modi's "in politics, doors are not permanently closed" comment. "Politics is a game of possibilities, anything can happen," Mr Modi, replaced by Tarkishore Yadav and Renu Devi after the 2020 poll, said. Now a Rajya Sabha MP, he has been a frequent critic of Nitish Kumar since an apparent breakdown in ties, making his 'open doors' remark significant. The BJP ghar wapsi has triggered mixed reactions from Bihar's political players and, according to a second set of sources, a divide within Nitish Kumar's party. Lalan Singh, deposed as the JDU boss by Nitish last month, is understood to be against dropping the RJD, while a group led by Sanjay Jha and Ashok Choudhary is pushing for a tie-up with the BJP. Former Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi and his Hindustan Awam Morcha - for now a JDU ally and part of the state government - are also being courted, with junior Union Home Minister Nityanand Rai tasked with getting that deal done. Mr Manjhi has been cryptic so far, only saying he had predicted Nitish's jump. "Therefore, after breaking alliance, he may contest Lok Sabha elections independently or join other alliance..." he said. The INDIA bloc has not lost hope, at least not publicly. A Bihar Congress leader, Prem Chandra Mishra, told ANI, "I can say with confidence Nitish Kumar will remain with the alliance... (he) has resolved to throw BJP out and we trust him." The RJD is also (publicly) optimistic; party spokesperson Shakti Yadav said the tie-up talk reflected a "scared" BJP and Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav today spoke about the state government fulfilling its promises on employment. Nitish set the cat among the pigeons Thursday - first snubbing an invitation to join Rahul Gandhi's 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra', and then leaving the Congress-led INDIA bloc on edge by reaching out to the BJP. By the day's end, he - credited with coaxing the opposition into the unlikely alliance - was closer to re-aligning with the BJP than being able to oust Mr Modi. Should, as is now most likely, Nitish Kumar re-align with the BJP, there were several factors that would have led to his political fifth flip-flop in 11 years - one that could reshape the state's political landscape in the BJP's favour. Among these are friction with the RJD, amplified by the (now deleted) social media posts by Lalu Yadav's daughter, Rohini Acharya, and discord within INDIA, where Nitish's name had been snubbed as both PM candidate and Convenor.

Despite growing up in a country of princely batters and wily spinners, it was only ever fast bowling that interested Jasprit Bumrah. And not just any kind of fast bowling. Bumrah, a telly addict as a kid, said before this series that he was fascinated by the quicks who could send stumps cartwheeling out of the ground with the yorker. One suspects a good few others may have been converted watching a compelling second day of this second Test in Visakhapatnam when, at 1.45pm local time, Bumrah took to Ollie Pope’s stumps like a lumberjack. Middle stump jagged left, leg stump flew right, leaving off stump standing there all alone. Pope’s feet were briefly in a different postcode, his bat on the floor, as Bumrah raced past him in sheer delight. It was the zing bail-exploding highlight of a day when Bumrah reverse-swung the force firmly in India’s favour and made 1-1 the likeliest outcome heading into next week’s first break. he hosts were batting again by the close, a first-innings lead of 143 having swollen by 28 runs without loss. Bumrah was feet-up in the dressing room during a late flurry of boundaries, that smile still beaming about the figures of six for 45 from 15.5 overs that had sent England careening to 253 all out. Kuldeep Yadav would probably like a word here, the left-arm wrist spinner with the Harry Houdini haircut having picked the lock of England’s bright start – Ben Duckett caught off the shoulder of the blade at silly point – and finished with three for 71. Playing in the absence of Ravindra Jadeja, Yadav’s array of low-slung gyroscopic fizzers from that rarely seen angle was certainly a point of difference during this cascading collapse. But there was no usurping India’s headline unorthodox act, Bumrah’s whip-crack action sending the ball snaking this way and that either side of tea and lacking any known anti-venom. This was the 30-year-old’s second five-wicket haul in what is remarkably just his sixth Test at home, the best of which – though less jaw-dropping than Pope’s demise for 23 – being the working over of Joe Root that ended with an outfoxed nibble to slip on five. England had been feeling pretty chipper before all this. Jimmy Anderson crisply helped as the visitors nipped out the last four India wickets before lunch, some early grumpiness at Ravichandran Ashwin for his position at the non-striker’s end eased by figures of three for 47. Though Yashasvi Jaiswal turned his sparkling overnight 179 into 209 – a maiden double for this elegant young left-hander, celebrated like Jude Bellingham – India, 396 all out after resuming on 336 for six, had many wondering if they were still light. Such thoughts only continued when the tourists raced to 110 for one in 22 overs by the afternoon drinks, Zak Crawley having purred his way to 76 in a bevy of punched straight drives and two slog-swept sixes. But once he skewed Axar Patel’s third delivery after the restart high to backward point, the emergence of Root, with the ball having already started to move late for the seamer Mukesh Kumar, led Rohit Sharma to whistle for Bumrah. First went Root, his front pad probed à la Hyderabad before the one that moved away. Then came the most alarming demise of a Pope since John VIII was poisoned and strangled by his clerics back in the ninth century. This was the yorker Bumrah honed as a child while aiming for the skirting boards at home and trying not to wake his sleeping mother, not that anyone could have dozed through the noise that met this one. Having just about dug out a repeat, Jonny Bairstow looked relatively assured en route to 25 as he and Ben Stokes took England to 155 for four at tea. But once Bumrah returned refreshed he soon teased another edge to slip from a Yorkshireman, once again underlining the secondary threat that thoughts of his trademark ball can induce. As the crowd erupted once more, Stokes could be seen grimacing at the other end, the crows feet soon deepening further as Yadav fiddled out two more. Ben Foakes played around one to be bowled for six and Rehan Ahmed tamely toe-ended to midwicket for the same score. Yadav’s threat looks likely to increase once India have set the fourth innings equation, with inconsistent bounce this pitch’s likeliest threat. It was what did for Stokes, Bumrah’s fourth and final burst terminating a defiant 47. For the second time this series, leaving the England captain visibly asking: “What could I do?”, a low one pegged back off stump. It was a question his lower-order colleagues were never going to be able to answer sufficiently, Tom Hartley’s punchy 21 another to be ended at slip and Anderson pinned in front lbw by the inswinger. All that was left was for Sharma and Jaiswal to compound the situation, Anderson once again strapping on the bowling boots with little respite to speak of. England wriggled free from a greater first-innings deficit in the first Test and Crawley was speaking this language after stumps. Deciphering the way Bumrah gets a reverse-swinging cricket ball to talk remains a significant issue, however.

AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday attributed BJP candidate Manoj Sonkar's win in the Chandigarh mayoral elections to "cheating in broad daylight". In his first reaction to the development, he said if the BJP could "stoop so low" in mayoral elections, it could go to any extent to win the Lok Sabha elections. "How cheating has been done in broad daylight in the Chandigarh Mayor elections, is extremely worrying. If these people can stoop so low in a mayor's election, then they can go to any extent in the country's elections. This is very worrying," Kejriwal wrote on X in Hindi. BJP's Manoj Sonkar on Tuesday defeated AAP's Kuldeep Kumar in the mayoral elections in Chandigarh. The AAP had contested the election in alliance with the Congress. Together, the AAP-Congress alliance had more votes in the 35-strong assembly than the BJP. The Chandigarh mayoral elections were originally scheduled for January 18. However, they were indefinitely postponed due to the illness of the presiding officer. The Punjab and Haryana High Court ordered that the election must be held on January 30. BJP chief JP Nadda lauded the Punjab unit of the party for the victory. "Congratulations to BJP Chandigarh Unit for winning the Mayor election. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, UTs have witnessed record development. That the INDI Alliance fought their first electoral battle and still lost to BJP shows that neither their arithmetic is working nor their chemistry," he wrote on X. What happened in Chandigarh mayoral elections? Manoj Sonkar polled 16 votes while Kumar secured 12. Eight votes were declared invalid. The councillors of INDIA bloc parties AAP and Congress launched a protest as soon as the results were declared. Now the newly elected mayor will hold the elections for the posts of senior deputy mayor and deputy mayor. The Congress has fielded its candidates for these two posts. The BJP has 14 councillors in the 35-member Chandigarh Municipal Corporation. The AAP has 13 councillors and the Congress seven. The Shiromani Akali Dal has one councillor.

Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren declared "missing" by the BJP after Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials failed to locate him for over 24 hours, surfaced in Ranchi today. Mr Soren, who was last seen in Delhi on Sunday night, left his home in Ranchi today for a meeting with MLAs from the ruling coalition in Jharkhand. Mr Soren, responding to questions from the media after meeting MLAs, said, "I will tell you everything soon." The reappearance of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) leader comes amid frenetic political developments in Ranchi and Delhi. ED officials had reached his Delhi address yesterday to question him in a money laundering case, but could not locate him. The agency seized ₹ 36 lakh in cash and a BMW car, but Mr Soren was not found at his Delhi home or at Jharkhand Bhavan in Delhi. Amid the development, the BJP started claiming that the Chief Minister was "on the run". State BJP chief Babulal Marandi also put out an advertisement, seeking information about Mr Soren and announcing a cash prize of ₹ 11,000 for credible information. The JMM, however, had maintained that they are in touch with the Chief Minister. JMM ally Congress alleged that the BJP's "missing" claim is a conspiracy to create a situation to impose the President's rule in the state. Governor CP Radhakrishnan had said that he is keeping a close watch on the situation. "It is the job of the Governor, I am doing it. We will cross the bridge when it comes," he told reporters, adding that "no one is above the law". \ Meanwhile, all MLAs of the ruling alliance - comprising JMM, Congress, and RJD - have been asked to stay in Ranchi, sparking speculation over what comes next. BJP MP and Jharkhand leader Dr Nishikant Dubey has alleged that a plan to name Mr Soren's wife Kalpana as Chief Minister is underway. "Hemant Soren ji has called his own, JMM, Congress, and allied MLAs to reach Ranchi with their luggage and bags. According to the information, there is a proposal to make Kalpana Soren ji (Hemant Soren's wife) Chief Minister," he claimed in a post on X. Mr Soren is being investigated in connection with an alleged racket of illegal change of land ownership by the mafia in Jharkhand. The ED has arrested 14 people in the case so far. Accusing the BJP-led Centre of using probe agencies for political goals, the JMM has questioned why a fresh summons was issued days after Mr Soren was questioned on January 20. They also hit out at ED for reaching the Chief Minister's Delhi residence with armed personnel yesterday, even after he had told them that he would be available for questioning on Wednesday.

Image was shared on X. (courtesy: Real_Box_0ffice) Deepika Padukone and Hrithik Roshan's film Fighter continues to impress movie buffs. The action-packed movie is making the right kind of noise at the box office. On day 3, the film, inspired by India's airstrike after the Pulwama terrorist attack, collected ₹28 crore, as per a Sacnilk report. So far, the Siddharth Anand directorial has minted ₹90 crore. Released on January 25, Fighter features Hrithik Roshan as Squadron Leader Shamsher Pathania aka Patty and Deepika Padukone as Squadron Leader Minal Rathore aka Mini. It also stars Anil Kapoor as Group Captain Rakesh Jai Singh, Karan Singh Grover as Sartaj Gill, and Akshay Oberoi as Basheer Khan. On Saturday, Bollywood trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared insights about the day 2 collection of Fighter on his X (formerly known as Twitter) handle. In his post, Taran wrote, “#Fighter sets #BO on (fire emojis), is EXTRAORDINARY on Day 2, benefits largely due to two factors: [i] Excellent feedback from audience and [ii] #RepublicDay holiday… Mass pockets - which underperformed on Day 1 - witness massive growth on Day 2, thus contributing to the impressive total.” “The tremendous growth on Day 2 gives the film a solid chance to march forward… If Sat and Sun maintain the speed, a massive total is certainly on the cards… Frankly, it's too early to guesstimate a figure for the 4-day extended weekend, since mass belt and spot bookings can elevate the situation on Sat and Sun multifold… So let's wait and watch. #Fighter Thu 24.60 cr, Fri 41.20 cr. Total: ₹ 65.80 cr. #India biz. #Boxoffice,” Taran Adarsh added. In other news, Hrithik Roshan and his Fighter squad went out for a movie night in Mumbai on Saturday. Of course, they gathered to watch their own film on the big screen. In a picture shared collectively by Hrithik Roshan and director Siddharth Anand, we could spot the duo posing with Anil Kapoor, Karan Singh Grover, and Akshay Oberoi. Sharing fun moments from the movie night, Hrithik Roshan wrote in his caption, "Fighters Day at the movies. #Fighter." The film's female lead, Deepika Padukone, was missing from the snap.

Fighter box office collection day 2: The film earned ₹39 crore nett in India on Friday. It features Hrithik Roshan as Squadron Leader Shamsher Pathania. Fighter Box Office Collection Day 2: Helmed by Siddharth Anand, the film was released in theatres on Thursday. As per Sacnilk.com, the film has minted over ₹60 crore within two days of its release. Fighter stars Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone in lead roles. Fighter India box office collection The film opened at ₹22.5 crore in India on day one. As per the report, it has earned ₹39 crore nett in India on day two. So far, the film has garnered ₹61.5 crore at the domestic box office. Fighter received amazing reviews and positive word of mouth from the audience. It is produced by Viacom18 Studios in collaboration with Marflix Pictures. Fighter marks Hrithik and Deepika's first-ever on-screen collaboration. The fighter also stars Anil Kapoor, Karan Singh Grover and Akshay Oberoi in pivotal roles. The film features Hrithik as Squadron Leader Shamsher Pathania aka Patty, Deepika Padukone as Squadron Leader Minal Rathore aka Minni, and Anil as Group Captain Rakesh Jai Singh aka Rocky, fighting for the country. It is billed as a tribute to the valour, sacrifice and patriotism of the Indian armed forces.

The least one would expect from the first film of an intended franchise is freshness, if not exceptional originality. Let alone soaring to great heights, Fighter, an aerial action thriller directed and co-produced by Siddharth Anand (War, Pathaan), struggles to shake off its flat trajectory. For the audience, if you aren't a Hrithik Roshan fan or an inveterate admirer of Bollywood's notion of a war film, the challenge is to fight off the overwhelming ennui that quickly sets in and takes the film down with it. But if the presence of Hrithik is enough inducement, Fighter might pass muster. But that is about it. Twenty years ago, Hrithik Roshan was Captain Karan Shergill, a drifter who found his purpose in life by joining the Indian Army. Five years ago, he donned the garb of Major Kabir Dhaliwal, a secret agent gone rogue. Now, he is Squadron Leader Shamsher Pathania, a man quick to dive into tricky situations. All of the aforementioned three are men of immense courage and confidence when the need to take the fight into the enemy camp arises. So, if you've seen one of them, the pilot that the lead actor plays in Fighter is just an addition to a tribe trapped in a rut. The actor's Army/Intelligence/Air Force persona is beset with a degree of monotony that stems from the names and the characteristics that he assumes. He can perform feats that are out of the ordinary. Although parts of Fighter unfold in a realistic vein, the male protagonist's heroism is defined by his all-round abilities. He is a cocky fighter pilot who flies into danger without batting an eyelid. He is a charmer who can talk two ladies into parting with their plates of biryani. He can dance like a dream after a mission has been accomplished and a peppy celebratory number is in order. And, when things heat up, he can jump into a close-quarters combat with the villain. The rank, the outfit and the mode of operation may change but the approach does not. But that, needless to say, is how Bollywood stardom works. As Squadron Leader Shamsher Pathania, a crack fighter pilot who believes he is a fighter first and a pilot only next, Roshan powers Siddharth Anand's first entry in what is proposed to be a series of Air Force action films. While it is no Top Gun, Fighter is a competently mounted, shot and edited film. It will probably find the fans that it is looking for. However, despite Deepika Padukone adding to the star power quotient, the film feels vacuous and vapid. The problem lies in its storyline - it is a compilation of cliches. The biggest one rests on the shrill bluster that offence is always the best form of defence, and the best response to deceit is instant revenge. That locates Fighter firmly in the narrow construct that Bollywood war films operate within. The human pieces in here are familiar. An air warrior grappling with personal reverses. A senior Air Force pro focused on teamwork struggles to keep the younger man of action on a leash. A female fighter pilot up against gender discrimination from her father is out to prove him and the rest of the world wrong. A terror kingpin determined to strike at India's defence establishment. Along the way, Pulwama, Balakot, Uri and stone-pelting are referenced. The outcome on all counts - and fronts - is predictable. Shamsher earns his redemption and a second shot at inner peace but not before he has encountered a series of setbacks. Squadron Leader Minal Rathore (Deepika Padukone) finds the love of her life even as she soars into the sky against all odds. Group Captain Rakesh Jaisingh (Anil Kapoor) is a stickler for protocol who repeatedly shows why he is such a good leader. And the evil, big-talking terrorist, Azhar Akhtar (Rishabh Sawhney) spews venom without let and paves the way for a final extraction from across the border. Fighter is entirely about how these four characters get to where they eventually do. The 166-minute film, especially its first half, abounds in dogfights and daring air sorties designed to demonstrate the courage of the fighter pilots. Some of the action is pretty impressive but none of it is likely to have you jump out of your seats in delight. There is little in the film that justifies its 3D format. Scripted by Ramon Chibb with Siddharth Anand, Fighter works best when it decides to slow down a tad in the second half. Its emotional high point occurs when Samsher meets Minal's father (Ashutosh Rana) and mother (Geeta Agrawal) by accident and proceeds to impress upon them the enormity of their daughter's achievements. Among the pilots in the Air Dragons team formed after the early 2019 terrorist attack on a CRPF convoy in Pulwama is Basheer Khan (Akshay Oberoi). He gets to spout what are by far the most patriotic lines in the film - a repeat of a poignant and patriotically pointed couplet that Shamsher recites early in the film. Fighter is also a story of enduring camaraderie between Shamsher and his Air Force Academy batchmate Sartaj Gill (Karan Singh Grover). The relationship between the two fighter pilots and between Shamsher and Sartaj's wife Saanchi (Sanjeeda Sheikh) lays the foundation for the climax of the film. However, the bromance is a largely one-man affair. Fighter is Hrithik Roshan's film and the screenplay never lets him out of sight. The muted romance that blossoms between the hero and Minal is set against the background of a tragedy. It provides Fighter a few of its more convincing moments because the exchanges between the two are allowed some breathing spaces. Hrithik Roshan does his best to lift the film as high as he can. Deepika Padukone is solid and completely at home in a predominantly man's world. Anil Kapoor's restraint adds a degree of gravitas to the film. But Fighter could have done with a more fearsome villain. Karan Singh Grover and Akshay Oberoi make the most of roles that do not exactly place them at the centre of the film. Ashutosh Rana and Geeta Agrawal have precisely two scenes in Fighter and that is all they need. They make an instant impression. Fighter is fairly watchable. But with a little more imagination and a little less jingoism, it could have been scintillating.

he judge rejects former Trump aide Peter Navarro's claims of political persecution and highlights his failure to acknowledge civic obligations. A federal judge sentenced Peter Navarro, a former adviser of Donald Trump, to four months in jail on Thursday for his refusal to cooperate with a congressional investigation into the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

The most one would anticipate from the principal film of a planned establishment is newness, on the off chance that not outstanding inventiveness. Not to mention taking off to extraordinary levels, Warrior, a flying activity spine chiller coordinated and co-delivered by Siddharth Anand (War, Pathaan), battles to shake off its level direction. For the crowd, on the off chance that you're not a Hrithik Roshan fan or a deep rooted admirer of Bollywood's idea of a conflict film, the test is to ward off the mind-boggling boredom that rapidly sets in and brings the film down with it. Be that as it may, assuming the presence of Hrithik is sufficient instigation, the Contender could get by. In any case, that is about it. A long time back, Hrithik Roshan was Skipper Karan Shergill, a vagabond who tracked down his motivation in life by enlisting in the Indian Armed force. Quite a while back, he wore the clothing of Major Kabir Dhaliwal, a spy denounced any and all authority. Presently, he is Group Pioneer Shamsher Pathania, a man fast to jump into interesting circumstances. All of the previously mentioned three are men of enormous fortitude and certainty when the need to bring the battle into the foe camp emerges. Thus, assuming you've seen one of them, the pilot that the lead entertainer plays in Warrior is only an expansion to a clan caught stuck. The entertainer's Military/Knowledge/Flying corps persona is plagued with a level of tedium that stems from the names and the qualities that he expects. He can perform accomplishments that are strange. Despite the fact that pieces of Contender unfurl in a reasonable vein, the male hero's chivalry is characterized by his overall capacities. He is a presumptuous military pilot who flies into potential harm without fluttering an eyelid. He is a charmer who can convince two women to leave behind their plates of biryani. He can move like a fantasy after a mission has been achieved and a lively celebratory number is all together. What's more, when things heat up, he can bounce into a tight situation battle with the miscreant. The position, the outfit and the method of activity might change however the methodology doesn't. Yet, that, obviously, is the way Bollywood fame works. As Group Pioneer Shamsher Pathania, a break military pilot who accepts he is a warrior first and a pilot just straightaway, Roshan powers Siddharth Anand's most memorable passage in what is proposed to be a progression of Flying corps activity films. While it is no Top Firearm, Warrior is a capability mounted, shot and altered film. It will most likely find the fans that it is searching for. In any case, in spite of Deepika Padukone adding to the star power remainder, the film feels vacuous and characterless. The issue lies in its storyline - it is a gathering of banalities. The greatest one lays on the high pitched rave that offense is consistently the best type of guard, and the best reaction to misdirection is moment retribution. That finds Contender immovably in the limited develop that Bollywood war films work inside. The human pieces in here are natural. An air champion wrestling with individual switches. A senior Flying corps master zeroed in on collaboration battles to keep the more youthful man of activity on a rope.
