TVK Election Result | TVK Sweeps Key Bypolls; Vijay Hails 'Victory For People And Democracy'
The ruling Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) has won both assembly seats that went to by-elections in Tamil Nadu - Madurantakam and Dharapuram - strengthening Chief Minister Vijays position while dealing a fresh blow to the AIADMK. The seats fell vacant after sitting AIADMK MLAs Maragatham Kumaravel and Sathyabhama resigned within weeks of the Assembly elections and joined the ruling TVK, amid allegations of horsetrading that the party has denied. TVK fielded both leaders again, turning the by-polls into a test of whether they could retain their constituencies under their new political banner. In Dharapuram, Sathyabhama secured 66,841 votes, defeating the DMK candidate by a margin of 9,471 votes. In Madurantakam, Maragatham Kumaravel won with 74,048 votes, defeating the DMKs Paranthaman by 20,040 votes. Both constituencies witnessed five-cornered contests. Despite Vijays star power and the support of former allies of the DMK now backing his government, the margins were not overwhelming, particularly in Dharapuram. However, the victories provide the ruling party with a boost as it seeks to expand its strength in the Assembly.

Economy stabilisation measures bring no joy for ordinary people in Pakistan: Report
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 9 (IANS) The Pakistan government has, over the last four years, highlighted stabilisation of the economy but the word largely meant the economy has stopped falling but incomes, jobs or public services have not seen any improvement for ordinary people, a new report has said. The report from Colombo-based publication Asian News Post said the government of Shehbaz Sharif has emphasised avoiding default through IMFbacked programmes, but that policy focus has prioritised shortterm fiscal order over longterm investment and growth. The majority of public expenditure was used for maintaining the existing system rather than building future economic capacity. The report argued that Pakistans successive stabilisation programs were designed to keep the economy afloat rather than delivering prosperity. It pointed out the distinction saying that many Pakistanis mistook the word stability to mean that economic conditions have improved. Most spending was consumed by routine operations, debt obligations, transfers, and subsidies, while very little was invested in infrastructure, human capital, or long-term development, the report noted. Total public expenditure over last four years totalled Rs 90 trillion, with roughly 33 per cent going to debt servicing, 28.2 per cent transferred to provinces under the NFC award, 9.1 per cent to defence, 7.4 per cent to pensions, 10 per cent covering stateowned enterprise losses, 3.4 per cent to energy subsidies and 2.9 per cent to the Benazir Income Support Programme. Only around 4.6 per cent was allocated through the Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP), the governments primary development spending mechanism, the publication said. Despite Pakistan having a growing population that requires new schools, hospitals, roads, water systems, public transportation, and energy infrastructure only a small fraction of total spending is directed to these purposes. While government borrowing skyrockets, interest payments also rise, consuming larger portions of government revenue, leaving fewer resources available for development. Government debt rose from roughly Rs 47 trillion in 2022 to approximately Rs 83 trillion by 2026, the report noted. State-owned enterprises running on huge losses, along with faulty taxation policy compounds the problem, it noted.

Russian strike on buses kills 30 people in frontline Ukrainian city
Police said the buses were hit with a glide bomb (Handout) Ukraine on Thursday accused Russia of deliberately targeting civilians after 30 people were killed when two buses were blown up in the frontline city of Kramatorsk, in one of the deadliest single attacks for weeks. Photos posted by local authorities showed the burnt-out metal shell of the vehicles, with the blurred-out images of bodies and debris strewn across the road. Police said the buses were hit with a glide bomb. The strikes come just a day after five children were among 22 killed when a Russian missile struck a five-storey apartment block in Pryluky, in the northern Chernigiv region. The Russians are deliberately targeting civilians, Donetsk Governor Vadym Filashkin said, accusing Moscow of flouting every conceivable rule of warfare and norm of international humanitarian law. Kramatorsk City Council called it yet another horrific crime committed by the Russian army against the civilian population. Once again, the Russians have struck a location where there are absolutely no military targets, it added. There has been mounting concern about the increase in civilian casualties in the conflict, as both sides step up long-range attacks beyond their borders. Since Russia first invaded in 2022, Ukraine has accused its forces of deliberately attacking and killing civilians. The United Nations has verified more than 17,000 civilian deaths throughout the war, but says the real number is considerably higher. Last week, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky said his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin had sanctioned massive attacks on civilian areas. The Kremlin has denied the claim. - Security worsened - Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, has come under increasing attack, including on Wednesday when Russia launched a barrage of powerful ballistic and cruise missiles, and fast-moving, jet-powered drones. The city's mayor, Vitali Klitschko, said two people were found dead on Thursday after a fire at a four-storey building that was hit by a drone in the densely populated Solomyansky district. Klitschko has said the attacks, which have hit key transport bridges in the city, as well as the rail network and energy grid, were tearing Kyiv apart. For the first few years of the war, Kyiv had been relatively spared from the devastation wrought on the frontline but should now be on a war footing, he argued. Kramatorsk, which was home to some 150,000 people before the war, is one of the key cities that Russia has not yet captured in the eastern Donetsk region, which Moscow claims as its own. It has been a logistics and supply hub for the Ukrainian military for much of the war and is part of the so-called fortress belt which troops are fighting to keep hold of. Russian forces have edged close to the city's eastern fringes, which has prompted calls for the civilians who remain to relocate to safer regions of Ukraine. Filashkin said Thursday's strike, which happened at 10:00 am (0700 GMT), represented a sharp deterioration in security and ordered the suspension of public transport in Kramatorsk and neighbouring Sloviansk. Under these circumstances, we cannot risk the lives of passengers and drivers, he said. The safety of the residents of Kramatorsk and Sloviansk is now our top priority. Ukraine last month launched a counter-offensive against Russian troops around Lyman -- to the north of Kramatorsk and Sloviansk -- claiming some success in regaining pockets of territory. bur-phz/jc/jxb This article originally appeared on AFP at https://www.yahoo.com/news/world/articles/russian-strike-buses-kills-30-104611850.html
Prince Williams foundation funds Cornwall homes for 16 people facing homelessness
Celebrity photographer Atul Kasbekar has recalled an unusual memory of late actor Nana Patekar, revealing that the veteran actor had kept a stack of firewood ready for his own funeral years before his death. Patekar reportedly wanted the wood to remain dry, joking that wet wood would create smoke and make people cry at his cremation. Kasbekar also remembered Patekars generosity, sharp wit and warm nature.
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 8 (IANS) Celebrity photographer Atul Kasbekar remembered veteran actor Nana Patekar following his demise on October 8, recalling their warm relationship and sharing a deeply personal anecdote from one of their meetings. Atul Kasbekar revealed that Nana Patekar had once shown him a stack of firewood he had prepared for his own funeral, adding that the actor had joked about not wanting people to cry at his funeral merely because smoke from wet wood had got into their eyes. Sharing a series of memories, Kasbekar wrote on his social media account, Nana Saheb. What a man. What a loss. I shared a wonderfully warm relationship with Nana Patekar. We didnt meet often, but whenever we did, it felt like wed met yesterday. He was particularly proud that a fellow Maharashtrian had made a name in photography. Always a warm word, invariably laced with his trademark acidic wit. He added, Unpredictable. Intense. Fiercely individualistic. Nana Saheb didnt enter a room. He took possession of it. One of my most cherished memories is photographing him for my exhibition HONEST: Portraits of Character, possibly among his last formal portrait sessions. He insisted I come to his farm near Pune. He further wrote, His first question was how many people were coming. Not out of concern for the crew size, but because everyone would be served lunch..And what a feast! Every assistant, spot boy and driver was seated in his main dining area, with Nana Saheb personally walking around serving extra rotis and helpings of his famous mutton. He added, No hierarchy. No fuss. Just extraordinary generosity from a man who could intimidate an entire film set with one raised eyebrow. He then proudly showed me around his property, including his gym, where he casually knocked off a dozen tricep dips. Stone cold. No warm-up. Show-off! And then, in a moment of spectacularly morbid humour, showed me a stack of firewood hed prepared for his own funeral. He further revealed, Hed kept it dry, he explained, because wet wood smokes, and he didnt want people crying at his funeral merely because the smoke got into their eyes! Only Nana Saheb could turn his own cremation into a comedy routine. A phenomenal actor. The voice of a generation. A formidable presence. And beneath that intimidating exterior, a deeply generous, solid human being. His loss feels personal. Like a punch in the guts. Im honoured to have made those portraits but infinitely more grateful for the time, conversations and laughter we shared. He concluded, My heartfelt condolences to Malhar, Neelu ji and all his loved ones. Rest easy, Nana Saheb. There will never be another quite like you. Earlier, Atul Kasbekar had also shared a video of Patekar working out in April 2026, which later resurfaced following his death. In the clip, Patekar could be seen in a white vest and shorts with a gamcha around his neck, effortlessly performing tricep dips in a gym. He completed several repetitions before smiling at the camera, with Kasbekar praising his fitness and describing him as a legend. For the uninitiated, Atul Kasbekars recollection comes after Nana Patekars death on October 8, 2026, at the age of 75. The actor died after suffering a cardiac arrest at his residence in Dona Paula, Goa. He was taken to Manipal Hospital, where doctors attempted to revive him for around 45 minutes before he was declared dead at approximately 5:20 AM.

'This team can still surprise people: Chahal backs Man Utd to turn season around
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 8 (IANS) India cricketer and lifelong Manchester United supporter Yuzvendra Chahal has backed the English giants to mount a strong challenge for a better position in the Premier League after the international break, drawing confidence from the teams fighting spirit and unpredictability following his recent experience of watching the Manchester Derby live at Old Trafford. Chahal, who travelled to the iconic stadium to watch Manchester United take on neighbours Manchester City, said his attachment to the club goes back to his childhood and remains an important part of his sporting life away from cricket. What I really like about this United team is the fight and the unpredictability. Matheus Cunha is someone I really admire, the way he plays with such energy, takes on defenders and keeps pushing the players around him. I genuinely believe this team can still surprise people. As a United fan since childhood, Ill always believe in the team and keep backing them. Thats what being a football fan is all about, Chahal told JioStar. For Chahal, supporting United is not simply about following results. The cricketer said the club has been part of his life since he was young, with watching important matches alongside friends becoming one of the pleasures of following the Premier League. Manchester United has been a childhood love for me, so the Premier League is something I genuinely enjoy following whenever I get the time. One of my favourite things is getting my friends together, sitting with them and watching a big United game, there is always so much emotion and banter! That passion took on a different dimension when Chahal experienced the Manchester Derby from inside Old Trafford. The occasion offered him the chance to follow one of English footballs biggest fixtures not from a television screen, but from the stands. The contest also produced the kind of twists that made the experience particularly memorable for the United supporter. Chahal felt the balance could shift in his sides favour after City were reduced to 10 men, only for the match to deliver further frustration. I watched the Manchester Derby recently. When City went down to ten men, I really felt United would find a way to get the result, and there were moments when it looked like we could take the game. To then see Haaland score and the goal go through that whole VAR drama was painful as a United fan! But thats football, sometimes you get the result you want and sometimes you dont, he added. With the Premier League set to resume after the international break, Chahal expects United to have another opportunity to alter the narrative around their campaign.

Russia hits Ukraine with drones and missiles, killing at least 15 people
By Olena Harmash and Vladyslav Smilianets KYIV, Oct 7 (Reuters) - Russia pounded Ukraine with waves of missiles and drones on Wednesday, killing at least 15 people and hitting residential buildings, industrial facilities and infrastructure, Ukrainian officials said. One Russian missile slammed into an apartment block in the northern city of Pryluky, killing at least nine people including three children, regional governor Vyacheslav Chaus said. Dozens of rescuers picked through the rubble at the site where several sections of the five-story building collapsed, Reuters video showed. Emergency workers used ladders to get to the upper floors of what remained of the building. Around 40 people were wounded, the governor said. BIG JUMP IN REPORTED DRONE INTERCEPTIONS President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said six other people were killed in Kyiv, Oleksandria and Kremenchuk during the heavy overnight attack. This was one of the most vile strikes: 70 missiles in total, many of them ballistic, Zelenskiy said on the Telegram app. One of the key targets was our energy infrastructure. The Russians wanted to strike painfully and demonstratively. Russia's defence ministry said its forces had carried out a massive strike on military-industrial facilities in Kyiv and other Ukrainian regions, using high-precision land-, sea- and air-launched weapons, as well as drones. Ukraine's air force said it had downed just over 80% of the 46 jet-powered drones launched by Russia a sharp increase from recent weeks when, on average, air defences took down 50% to 60%. Since the summer, Russia has used increasing numbers of the new high-velocity drones in round-the-clock attacks on Kyiv and other cities, stretching Ukraine's air defences which have struggled to cope with their speed. The air force did not explain the jump in the interception rate and did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Zelenskiy said that the Russian ballistic missiles remained the major challenge for Ukraine, adding that he and his team were every day looking for Patriot (missile interception) systems that can and must protect people's lives. The US-made Patriot system is the only weapon in Ukraine's arsenal capable of stopping high-velocity ballistic missiles but tight global supplies have been drained by the Iran war this year as well as the Ukraine conflict. Ukraine's energy ministry said that it had started to roll out partial emergency power cuts in five Ukrainian regions due to the attacks. Russia's defence ministry said its targets included sites where Ukrainian defence company Fire Point manufactures and stores its Flamingo cruise missiles and medium- and long-range drones in Kyiv as well as regions of Kyiv, Chernihiv, Kirovohrad, Dnipropetrovsk, Poltava and Kharkiv. Last week, Zelenskiy said Ukraine had fired its first domestically made ballistic missile in combat, produced by Fire Point. In an interview with Reuters last week, Zelenskiy said he expected the company to have a longer-range FP-9 missile ready by the autumn. The company has said that weapon will be able to reach Moscow. PEOPLE SHELTER OVERNIGHT IN KYIV METRO Zelenskiy said Ukrainian troops hit four targets in Russia over the past 24 hours, including two Russian oil facilities and a training ground in the Perm, Samara, and Astrakhan regions. In the Reuters interview, Zelenskiy said Ukraine would hit Russia's energy assets in response to Moscow's escalating strikes on civilian infrastructure. Many Kyiv residents took shelter in the city's deep underground metro stations as warnings of the upcoming attacks were shared by Ukrainian officials and military intelligence. Several loud explosions reverberated through the capital during the night, Reuters witnesses said. The metro is better, because we live on the 9th floor of a high-rise, and it's really scary when you're on the 9th floor and missiles are flying at you, Lesia, a 49-year-old Kyiv resident, told Reuters. Ukrainian officials said Russian ballistic missiles targeted Kyiv in addition to the drones. Overnight air strikes on the southeastern city of Dnipro damaged an industrial facility, transport infrastructure in Zaporizhzhia and apartment buildings in Kremenchuk, regional officials said on the Telegram messaging app. (Reporting by Olena Harmash, additional reporting by Jekaterna Golubkova in Tokyo; Editing by Daniel Flynn and Andrew Heavens) This article originally appeared on Reuters at https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/russia-strikes-ukraines-kyiv-fresh-014448221.html
