Vance In India LIVE | US Vice President JD Vance Arrives At AFS Palam | Usha Vance | Delhi | Modi
U.S. Vice President JD Vance has arrived in New Delhi this morning for a four-day official visit to India, marking his first trip to the country since assuming office. Accompanied by his wife, Usha Vance, and their children, the visit blends diplomatic engagements with personal significance, given Usha’s Indian heritage.
A central focus of Vice President Vance’s visit is the ongoing negotiations for a bilateral trade agreement between the United States and India. The discussions come in the context of President Donald Trump’s recent imposition of a 26% tariff on Indian goods, which has been temporarily paused for 90 days. India has expressed openness to reducing tariffs on over half of American imports, aiming to alleviate trade tensions and finalize the agreement.

Closing arguments set for Lori Vallow Daybell’s trial on charge she conspired to kill husband
PHOENIX: Closing arguments are scheduled Monday afternoon at the Arizona trial for Lori Vallow Daybell, the Idaho woman with doomsday religious beliefs who’s charged with conspiring to murder her estranged husband in suburban Phoenix. Vallow Daybell, who isn’t a lawyer but has chosen to defend herself, told the judge late last week that she plans to rest her case without calling witnesses or putting on evidence. If she follows through on those plans, closing arguments will be held Monday in the Phoenix courtroom where jurors heard testimony from prosecution witnesses for seven days. Prosecutors say she conspired with her brother, Alex Cox, to kill Charles Vallow at her home in Chandler in July 2019 so she could collect money from his life insurance policy and marry her then-boyfriend Chad Daybell, an Idaho author who wrote several religious novels about prophecies and the end of the world.
Cox, who claimed he acted in self-defense when he fatally shot Vallow, died five months later from what medical examiners said was a blood clot in his lungs. Cox’s account was later called into question. Vallow Daybell has pleaded not guilty. If convicted, she would face a life sentence without the possibility of release until serving at least 25 years. In opening statements, Vallow Daybell said during the encounter inside the house, Vallow chased her with a bat, and Alex shot Vallow in self-defense after she left the house. She has already been convicted in Idaho of killing her two youngest children and conspiring to murder a romantic rival, for which she was sentenced to life in prison.
Last week at the Arizona trial, Adam Cox, another brother of Vallow Daybell, testified on behalf of the prosecution, telling jurors that he had no doubt that Vallow Daybell and his brother Alex were behind Vallow’s death.
Adam Cox said Vallow’s killing occurred just before he and Vallow were planning an intervention to bring Vallow Daybell back into the mainstream of their shared faith in the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He testified that before Vallow’s death, his sister had told people her husband was no longer living and that a zombie was living inside his body. Four months before he died, Charles Vallow filed for divorce from Vallow Daybell, saying she had become infatuated with near-death experiences and had claimed to have lived numerous lives on other planets. He alleged she threatened to ruin him financially and kill him. He sought a voluntary mental health evaluation of his wife.
The trial over Vallow’s death will mark the first of two criminal trials in Arizona for Vallow Daybell. She’s scheduled to go on trial again in early June on a charge of conspiring to murder Brandon Boudreaux, the ex-husband of Vallow Daybell’s niece, Melani Pawlowski.Adblock test (Why?)

Watch: Mystery chainsaw vandal chops down rows of trees across downtown LA
Rows of trees were found chopped down across the streets of downtown Los Angeles on Sunday. Social media users shared photos of trees slashed with a chainsaw on South Grand Avenue and nearby areas, just before Earth Day.
The Los Angeles Times reported that the police department has no details about the incident. According to ABC 7, security guards at two different buildings in the area said surveillance footage showed an unidentified person on a bicycle carrying a chainsaw.
Images by users showed clean cuts at the base or midway up tree trunks, with some trees barely hanging by threads of bark. A Reddit user claimed that every tree between 1st Street and Wilshire Boulevard was affected. Photos show fallen trees at intersections including Olympic Boulevard and Hope Street, and Broadway and Cesar Chavez Avenue.
Many of the targeted trees reportedly appear to be Indian laurel figs (Ficus microcarpa), known for their drought resistance and environmental benefits. Urban trees play a critical role in controlling stormwater runoff, improving air quality, cooling overheated areas, and supporting public health. A UCLA Luskin Center study found that shaded areas can reduce bodily heat stress by up to 30%.
City Council member Ysabel Jurado’s office told CBS News: “Our office is aware of the illegal tree cutting in DTLA and in close communication with LAPD as they investigate. Thank you to the community for bringing this to our awareness, this is exactly what co-governance in action looks like.”Adblock test (Why?)

Chinese cruise ship sails within two nautical miles of Tawain’s Hengchun Peninsula
TAIPEI: A Chinese cruise ship sailed within just two nautical miles (3.7km) of Taiwan’s Hengchun Peninsula this week, prompting concern from observers and authorities about a possible “gray zone” tactic by Beijing, Taipei Times reported.
The incident was reported by Taiwan ADIZ, a civilian Facebook group that monitors Chinese military activity near Taiwan, which posted footage showing the vessel clearly visible from the shoreline in Pingtung County.
The ship was identified as the Gulangyu, a Bermuda-registered cruise vessel with a capacity of up to 1,800 passengers. Taiwan ADIZ noted that if fully occupied, the number of people on board would be roughly equivalent to a battalion-sized military unit.
“If such events become routine, they could pose a serious threat to Taiwan’s security,” the group wrote, pointing to the potential for such vessels to be repurposed in conflict scenarios.
Footage allegedly filmed by a passenger on board was later posted to Chinese social media, showing views of the Hengchun Peninsula overlaid with the message in simplified Chinese: “Taiwan is China,” reported Taipei Times.
Ocean Affairs Council Minister Kuan Bi-ling responded to the incident on Friday, saying the public should stay alert, calling it part of China’s broader “gray zone” strategy–coercive actions that stop short of armed conflict. She added that the government has launched a cross-agency mechanism to monitor maritime activity and would enhance coordination with the Maritime and Port Bureau and national security agencies.
Kuan said that after entering Taiwan’s territorial waters around 2pm on Wednesday, the Gulangyu was tracked by the Coast Guard Administration and later exited toward the northeast without altering its speed or course. The incident was believed to be a “united front” effort by Beijing, she added.
The government is developing a dedicated intelligence and tracking database for vessels operating in sensitive areas, including undersea cable zones, particularly those with Chinese capital or operating under flags of convenience, Taipei Times reported.
The coast guard is charged with monitoring such ships, while the Maritime and Port Bureau enforces the Regulations on the Administration of Innocent Passage of Foreign Vessels.Adblock test (Why?)

‘Team Huddle’: Was Yemen war plan discussed with family by US defense secretary?
US defence secretary Pete Hegseth has once again found himself in the eye of a political storm following revelations that he shared sensitive military details about a March airstrike on Yemen’s Houthi militants in a private Signal chat with his wife, brother, and personal lawyer.
The group, dubbed “Defense | Team Huddle,” comprised 13 individuals, including Hegseth’s wife Jennifer, a former Fox News producer, and his brother Phil, a Department of Homeland Security liaison at the Pentagon, New York Times reported. The chat reportedly contained specific information such as warplane launch times and strike packages, raising serious concerns about the handling of classified materials.This disclosure follows an earlier incident where Hegseth shared similar sensitive information in another Signal chat that included top Trump administration officials and, mistakenly, a journalist. The Atlantic published the contents of that chat, revealing detailed operational plans for the Yemen strike, which experts assert would typically be classified at the highest levels. Hegseth had denied any wrongdoing, saying, “Nobody was texting war plans,” and attributing the reports to media bias.
10 things to know about Hegseth’s Signal chat leaks:
- The chat group, named “Defense | Team Huddle,” included 13 participants: Hegseth, his wife Jennifer, his brother Phil, and his personal lawyer.
- Sensitive information shared in the chat included warplane launch times and strike packages related to the March airstrike on Yemen’s Houthi militants.
- The chat was conducted on Hegseth’s personal device, not a government-issued one, raising further security concerns.
- The earlier incident prompted internal upheaval within the Pentagon, with several top officials resigning or being placed on leave amid the ongoing probe.
- The use of Signal for discussing sensitive military operations contravenes Pentagon regulations, which prohibit the transmission of non-public Department of Defense information via unauthorized apps.
- The earlier Signal chat that which was revealed by the Atlantic’s Jeffery Goldberg, was titled “Houthi PC small group,” included top officials like Vice President JD Vance.
- The leaks included military plans involving the Panama Canal, Red Sea deployments, and suspended intelligence-sharing with Ukraine.
- Journalist Jeffrey Goldberg was mistakenly added to the encrypted Signal chat, giving him direct access to classified discussions.
- Dan Caldwell was removed from the Pentagon after being suspended over leaks of sensitive defence information.
- Darin Selnick, another senior Trump official, was also placed on administrative leave and escorted out.
What Trump, White House had said earlier
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt had described the Signal messaging thread as “a policy discussion, a sensitive policy discussion among high level cabinet officials and senior staff.” Defending the Secretary of Defense, she asked, “Do you trust the secretary of defense who was nominated for this role, voted by the United States Senate into this role, who has served in combat, honourably served our nation in uniform or do you trust Jeffrey Goldberg?”
When questioned about the thread, Trump distanced himself, saying he’s “not sure” whether the information shared was classified: “Well, that’s what I’ve heard. I don’t know. I’m not sure, you have to ask the various people involved.” Trump added that Waltz had taken responsibility for the error, but dismissed Hegseth’s involvement: “How do you bring Hegseth into it? He had nothing to do with it.”
The White House stated Trump had seen Hegseth’s texts. “It’s all a witch-hunt,” Trump said. While the National Security Council confirmed the thread’s authenticity, Leavitt posted: “The Atlantic has conceded: these were NOT ‘war plans.’”Adblock test (Why?)

Who was Om Prakash? Top cop found dead under mysterious circumstances
NEW DELHI: Om Prakash, former Director General and Inspector General of Police (DG & IGP) of Karnataka, was found dead under mysterious circumstances at his residence in Bengaluru’s upscale HSR Layout on Sunday. He was 68.
His body, lying in a pool of blood on the ground floor of his three-storied house, bore multiple injuries, raising suspicions of foul play. A weapon is believed to have been used in the assault. The police were alerted to the incident by his wife, Pallavi, and reached the scene around 4:30 pm.
Career of a veteran officer
Om Prakash was a 1981-batch Indian Police Service (IPS) officer and a native of Champaran in Bihar. Holding a Master’s degree in Geology, he began his career as an additional superintendent of police in Harapanahalli, Ballari district.
Over the decades, he served in several key roles including SP of Shivamogga, Uttara Kannada, and Chikkamagaluru districts.
He held various postings in the state’s Lokayukta, the Criminal Investigation Department, and also served as DIG of Fire and Emergency Services.
He was appointed Karnataka’s DG & IGP on March 1, 2015, and served until his retirement on March 31, 2017.
Circumstances of death
Additional Commissioner of Police Vikash Kumar Vikash confirmed that a case is being registered based on a complaint filed by Prakash’s son. “There is physical assault. A weapon has been used. There is blood loss. We will get the details after further investigation,” he said.
While no arrests have been made so far, the officer added that the police have secured the building and are questioning family members, including Prakash’s wife and daughter.
When asked about the possible involvement of family members, the officer said, “These things will be known after the investigation. At this stage, not even the FIR has been registered. Once it is, we will be able to explain the whole incident.”
Motive and ongoing investigation
According to sources, the former top cop had reportedly expressed concerns to close associates about threats to his life. Police are also probing possible motives linked to property disputes within the family.
The body has been sent for autopsy, and forensic teams are assisting with evidence collection. Investigations are ongoing.Adblock test (Why?)

Baraat on foot: Jammu-Srinagar Highway blocked, groom, kin trek to wedding
JAMMU: Mashkoor, a groom in Jammu and Kashmir, walked to his wedding venue on Monday along with his procession after landslides triggered by heavy rainfall shut down the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway (NH 44).
The groom explained that they were forced to walk because of the heavy rainfall the previous day, which led to the road closure.
According to the groom, the group began their journey at 6 am, having parked their cars behind, and decided to continue the rest of the way on foot.
“It is my wedding day… This is the situation because of the heavy rainfall yesterday. We have to go on foot. We started travelling at 6 am. We parked our cars behind and now we will walk the rest of the way. We still have around 7-8 km more to walk. We would bring the bride the same way, as the roads are not cleared. We request the government to clear NH 44 as soon as possible…,” says Mashkoor, the groom who is on his way to his wedding on foot as the roads are blocked after landslides.
Mashkoor further mentioned that they plan to bring the bride back by the same route, as the roads remain uncleared.
The groom urged the government to clear NH 44 at the earliest possible opportunity.
Flash floods trigger highway closure
Road clearing activities are in progress on National Highway 44 in Ramban district of Jammu and Kashmir.
In the early hours of Sunday, intense rainfall caused by cloudbursts led to flash floods and landslides in Jammu and Kashmir’s Ramban district.
The vital 250-kilometre Jammu-Srinagar National Highway, which serves as the sole all-weather connection between Kashmir and the rest of India, was rendered impassable. Numerous vehicles were stranded as debris from mountainsides blocked approximately twelve locations along the route between Nashri and Banihal.
Severe weather prompts school closures
Due to persistent severe weather conditions and predictions, Kashmir valley schools will suspend all classwork on Monday, April 21, announced Sakina Itoo, the education minister of Jammu and Kashmir (J-K).
The announcement follows ongoing heavy rainfall, cloudbursts and landslides affecting various regions of Jammu and Kashmir, particularly in mountainous areas.
The Srinagar Meteorological Centre has issued a yellow alert or ‘watch’ for the majority of districts, with the exception of Jammu, Poonch, Kathua, Muzzafarabad and Mirpur.Adblock test (Why?)

Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth Shared Yemen War Plans With Family Too: Report
Hegseth’s wife, Jennifer, a former Fox News producer, has also reportedly attended sensitive meetings
Washington:Before the US launched military strikes on Yemen on March 15, US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth shared critical information about the planned attacks to a private Signal group chat that included his wife, brother and personal lawyer, the New York Times reported on Sunday, raising more questions about the Trump official’s reliance on an unclassified messaging system to share highly sensitive security details.
The existence of the Signal group chat created by US national security adviser Mike Waltz, in which Hegseth divulged critical details of the attack plans to other Trump administration officials, was made public last month by Jeffrey Goldberg of the Atlantic, who had been accidentally added to the group involving all of President Donald Trump’s most senior national security officials.
The new report said Hegseth allegedly shared the same details of the attack that were revealed last month by The Atlantic magazine. The NYT, citing four sources familiar with the message group, said that the second chat included details of the flight schedules for the F/A-18 Hornets that would strike Houthi rebel targets in Yemen.
Unlike the group in which The Atlantic was mistakenly included by Waltz, the other chat was created by Hegseth himself in January, and it reportedly included his wife and about a dozen other people from his personal and professional inner circle. The group was named “Defense | Team Huddle,” and was operated through his private phone, rather than his government one, the NYT report said.
Hegseth’s wife, Jennifer, a former Fox News producer, has also reportedly attended sensitive meetings with foreign military counterparts, the Wall Street Journal has separately reported.
The previously unreported existence of a second Signal chat in which Hegseth shared highly sensitive military information adds to the series of developments that have put his management and judgment under scrutiny. The fact that the Trump team member shared the top secret plans more than once is likely to add to growing criticism of the former Fox weekend anchor’s ability to manage the Pentagon, a massive organisation which operates in matters of life and death around the globe.
The report said that Hegseth reportedly shared the secret plans on both chats at around the same time.
Revelations of another use of Signal for classified information come as one of Hegseth’s leading advisers, Dan Caldwell, was escorted from the Pentagon last week after being identified during an investigation into leaks at the Department of Defence, a US official told Reuters.
Following Caldwell’s departure, less senior officials Darin Selnick, who recently became Hegseth’s deputy chief of staff, and Colin Carroll, who was chief of staff to Deputy Defence Secretary Steve Feinberg, were put on administrative leave, officials said.
The Senate’s top Democrat demanded that the defence secretary be dismissed over the blunders.
“We keep learning how Pete Hegseth put lives at risk,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said in a post to X.
“But Trump is still too weak to fire him. Pete Hegseth must be fired.”
The Trump administration has aggressively pursued leaks, an effort that has been enthusiastically embraced by Hegseth at the Pentagon.
The Pentagon was not immediately available for comment. The White House did not immediately return a message.

LIVE | ‘Europe Wants To Revive Nazism…’ Lavrov Loses Cool, Issues MEGA WARNING To EU | Russia | US
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has slammed the European Union’s decision to boycott Victory Day celebrations in Moscow, accusing Europe of trying to “openly revive the ideology of Nazism.” Lavrov labelled the move as a direct insult to the memory of those who fought and died defeating fascism in World War II. He warned that the West is engaging in dangerous historical revisionism — erasing Soviet sacrifices while backing a regime he claims echoes Nazi ideals.

Concern over Bangladesh embankment along river on Tripura border
GUWAHATI A high-level delegation on Sunday (April 20, 2025) visited southern Tripura to assess the flood protection measures after a massive embankment being constructed by the Bangladesh government along a border river triggered flood worries in the State.
The flood-prone Muhuri River runs along much of the stretch of the India-Bangladesh border in the South Tripura district. Residents of the district headquarters, Belonia and other border villages close to the river raised an alarm a few days ago after the Bangladesh authorities started constructing an embankment on the opposite bank.
The catastrophic flood and landslides of August 2024, which damaged many river embankments along the India-Bangladesh border, worked on the minds of the border residents.
“We have identified 43 such locations in different districts, including South Tripura, where repair work has begun or will start soon. All the repairing and related works will be completed by June,” the State’s Public Works Department Secretary Kiran Gitte told journalists after meeting with the residents and public representatives.
“The work will be done around the clock. Five additional engineers will be posted in South Tripura, as the volume of work in the district is huge,” he said.
The Border Security Force’s Tripura Frontier Inspector General, Ashwani Kumar Sharma, accompanied Mr Gitte for the on-the-spot survey of the situation arising out of the embankment work on the Bangladesh side of the riverine border. Other officials included the district’s administrative and police chiefs, and senior officials of various departments concerned.
Centre’s attention sought
On Saturday (April 19, 2025), local CPI (M) legislator Dipankar Sen requested the South Tripura District Magistrate and senior officials of the BSF to draw the Centre’s attention to the flood threat posed by the embankment work in Bangladesh, so that the issue could be taken up with Dhaka.
Congress leaders in northern Tripura’s Unakoti district also sought the Centre’s intervention in a similar embankment constructed by Bangladesh, threatening district headquarters Kailashahar and several border villages. The party organised a series of agitations to underscore the gravity of the issue.
“Bangladesh is constructing these embankments unilaterally,” senior party leader and former minister Birajit Sinha said.
Earlier, Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha apprised Home Minister Amit Shah of the embankment issue.
“The Chief Minister highlighted the potential impact of the Bangladeshi embankment in the Unakoti district and possible floods on the Indian side. He urged the Home Minister to take up the matter with Dhaka,” an official at the Chief Minister’s Office said.
The two countries agreed to construct mutually beneficial embankments along the Muhuri within their borders to stabilise the river prone to changing its course, after former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh visited Bangladesh in 2011.
