Where is Lalu Yadav's eldest daughter Misa Bharti amid Rohini Acharya family feud?

The ongoing turmoil within Lalu Yadav's household — one of Bihar’s most influential political dynasties — has taken a new turn, bringing Misa Bharti, the eldest daughter, into the spotlight. As her younger sister Rohini Acharya publicly accused her brother Tejashwi Yadav of mistreatment and disowned her family, Misa’s home in Delhi became an unexpected refuge amid the spiralling family rift. A day after Rohini shocked the political world by declaring on social media that she had “disowned” her family, she was seen leaving Misa Bharti’s residence—visibly emotional, her voice strained and her eyes teary. Reporters who gathered outside the house asked her whether she stood by her allegations. Rohini, who donated a kidney to their father in 2022, firmly stated, “Rohini always tells the truth.” She added that she had not abandoned her family as a whole but had severed ties only with her brother Tejashwi, whom she accused of humiliation and abuse. With the controversy intensifying, Rohini urged the media to direct questions toward those she believes are responsible for the fallout—naming Tejashwi, his political advisor Sanjay Yadav, his wife Rachel Yadav aka Rajshree Yadav and an associate named Rameez. Meanwhile, Misa Bharti has maintained silence, balancing her role as the elder sibling and political leader while attempting to shield the family from further public embarrassment. Who is Misa Bharti? Misa Bharti is a Rajya Sabha MP and one of the first among her siblings to formally enter politics. Misa holds an MBBS degree from Patna Medical College. She married Shailesh Kumar, a computer engineer, in 1999. The couple has three children, two daughters and one son. Misa carries both the weight of her father’s legacy and the expectations of the RJD’s loyal support base. Known for her calm demeanour, she often finds herself playing the role of mediator during internal family tensions.

Dear Abby: My son’s wife is an alcoholic

DEAR ABBY: My oldest son, “Adam,” turned 50 last month. He and his wife, “Lindy,” live four hours away. They invited me and my husband to a birthday party she was having for him. Adam’s daughter from a previous marriage couldn’t make it for whatever reason. Lindy tends to drink too much. At one point, she went around screaming about how Adam’s “stupid daughter” didn’t bother to make it to his birthday party. To say the least, I was furious. I didn’t speak up because my son’s friends had traveled to be there and I didn’t want to ruin the celebration, and she was obviously very intoxicated. My granddaughter doesn’t have a good relationship with them. Adam adopted the youngest of Lindy’s three daughters because the two older ones were married. I no longer want to have anything to do with Lindy. Adam and his father don’t know about what happened that night. We haven’t had a good relationship since Adam left his first family for Lindy. Any advice? — HOLDING MY TONGUE IN TEXAS DEAR HOLDING: Adam knows his wife is a drinker who sometimes becomes out of control. You didn’t mention whether he has maintained contact with his ex-wife or his daughter. That she avoided his birthday party may not have been unexpected. My advice is to keep your lip zipped and resist the urge to further rock the boat. DEAR ABBY: A friend I’ve known since our school days works in the same organization I do. We’re in different departments, but we had similar jobs when I started six years ago. During that time, I’ve had two big promotions, and she has stayed where she is. Her work is well received, and she always gets positive reviews, so she’s frustrated she hasn’t been promoted. She asked me to help her figure out what is going on. (When asked, her supervisor didn’t give a straight answer, which is typical here.) I think the problem may be how she presents herself. It’s an old-school setting, and she has a modern attitude toward work-life balance. She dresses within the letter of the dress code but more casual than those around her. She takes personal calls within earshot of others and will pop in and out of the office to run errands or pick up her kids up from somewhere, and then work from home to make up the time. While technically it is allowed, others don’t do this. Only 10% of our job is client-facing, but looking and acting the part is noticed. It would be great if the rules outlined what the managers actually want, but I think reading the room is necessary too. Maintaining our friendship is more important to me than helping her at the office. How much of this, if any, do I share with her? — FAITHFUL FRIEND IN OHIO DEAR FRIEND: You should share all of your thoughts with your friend, because they are pertinent and honest. After that, she should speak privately with her boss and ask why she hasn’t been able to advance in the company. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O.

Financial supports are ‘not about pitting the tillage farmer against the beef farmer’ – Heydon

Financial supports are ‘not about pitting the tillage farmer against the beef farmer’ – Heydon

Financial supports for tillage farmers need to be "targeted at the cereal grower who needs it the most" according to the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine. Minister Martin Heydon also believes that supports for tillage farmers "need to be much more nuanced". In addition to this he is of the firm opinion that any finanical support package should be on a "medium to long term" basis in order to provide a level confidence to tillage farmers. During the Fine Gael Agriculture and Rural Development Conference, which took place in Co. Kildare (Saturday, November 15), Minister Heydon reaffirmed that tillage sector in 2026 will be supported with funding of at least €50 million through the Protein Aid Scheme, the Straw Incorporation Measure and a Tillage Support Scheme. However he has warned that the additional support payment under the Tillage and Horticulture Support scheme which resulted in €32.4 million of payments last February "was a one off". "I don't intend the tillage incentive supports to be the same as the last time - that was a very blanket measure for what it was, it was a flat rate payment per hectare," the minister said. Tillage farmers However one tillage farmer directly voiced his frustration to the minister during the conference about the increased budget allocation of €85 million for TB in 2026 compared to the funding available for the tillage sector. "Too much for TB, not enough for grain," he said. He told Minister Heydon that small tillage farmers are "under pressure" and the supports allocated did not match up to what they wanted to see, particularly against the backdrop of the fact that they are growing "enviromentally friendly crops". However Minister Heydon defended the multi-million euro allocation in Budget 2026 to the new TB Action Plan. "I have to manage priorities and it is not about setting one sector against another. "This is a one off intevention to address TB once and for all - to get those costs down. We have to do that, it is not about pitting the tillage farmer against the beef farmer in anyway. What I fight for at budget time is overall funding streams for each sector in my negotiations with the Department of Finance and the Department of Public Expenditure. I don't focus on negotiating a per acre price or a per head of livestock price. "The lump of money that I secured for tillage, I would have liked it to be more but obviously I had to manage priorities in that space," the minister added. According to Minister Heydon he now intends to sit down with key stakeholders and farming organisations to discuss the best "design and operation" of finacial supports for tillage farmers.

Jane Seymour declares ‘70 is the new 50’ after finding love again following four marriages

Jane Seymour believes age is just a number when it comes to her love life. During an interview with Hello! Magazine, Seymour opened up about finding love again in her 70s after being married four times. Two years ago, she met emergency room doctor and musician John Zambetti, whom she called “amazingly brilliant.” Seymour admitted to the outlet that she didn’t think a healthy, loving relationship was possible at this stage of her life. “I honestly never thought I would find a really committed, healthy, lovely, loving relationship at this time of my life, but I’m incredibly blessed that I have,” Seymour told the outlet. “70 is the new 50,” the actress noted. The “Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman” star feels lucky to have met Zambetti after already being able to live her life. “You’ve had a life. Many lives. And children, and grandchildren, and careers, and ups and downs. You know what you want. I consider both of us so fortunate to have found each other at the time we have, because it wouldn’t have ever worked earlier,” she said. Seymour added, “He had a different life – his world was medicine and touring, and mine was running around the world making movies. I think we met each other at exactly the right time.” When asked if they met through online dating, Seymour shut down the idea by saying it’s “too complicated – I can kill a computer just by looking at it!” Seymour and Zambetti actually met through their children. Seymour has six children, including stepchildren, and Zambetti has two from his previous marriage, which lasted 43 years, according to Hello! Magazine. “Our kids pretty much put us together. They’re the ones that heard that he’d seen me and asked whether I was single or not,” Seymour said. Zambetti and Seymour’s love story began at a Shwayze concert, whom the British actress calls their “mutual best friend.” “Shwayze knew I would go and watch him because I’ve always supported him,” she said, explaining that she’s known the musician since he was 7. “I’m like his surrogate mother. And it turns out John’s always been his surrogate father.” When they first met, Seymour told Hello! Magazine that Zambetti had no idea about her illustrious acting career. “He’d never seen my work. One of the first things he did is say, ‘I want to see what you do’. It’s funny because I haven’t seen half of what I’ve done – I haven’t seen most of ‘Dr Quinn,’ because I was too busy making it,” she said. Seymour shared intimate details about her relationship with the outlet. She made it clear that sex is still a very important part of her life. “In my parents’ generation, and I think a lot of people, they reach a certain age and they go, ‘That’s not part of our life any more, and it’s not necessary’. I just think, with maturity, you understand your body, you understand what feels good and you have knowledge, so put it down to that,” Seymour said.

Assam Sahitya Sabha to install Zubeen Garg statue as centenary celebrations peak

Majuli, Nov 16: The Assam Sahitya Sabha marked a major moment in its centenary celebrations with the grand “Suag Tola” programme in Majuli, where Sabha president Dr Basanta Kumar Goswami announced that a statue of the late cultural icon Zubeen Garg will be installed at the Sabha premises in December.The event, organised by the Assam Sahitya Sabha with support from the Majuli District Sahitya Sabha on Sunday, featured a vibrant cultural procession. Local residents, along with all branch Sahitya Sabhas in Majuli, joined the celebration commemorating 100 years of the Sabha’s central office, Chandrakanta Handique Bhawan, the historic headquarters built with a donation from philanthropist Radhakanta Sandikoi in memory of his son. Speaking to the press, Dr Goswami praised the scale and energy of the festivities. “I have never seen such a procession before as today’s xobha jatra. It is a rare sight in the history of the Assam Sahitya Sabha,” he said. He added that the hospitality and participation of Majuli’s residents had “turned a long-held dream into reality on the occasion of the Chandrakanta Handique Bhawan centenary”. Dr Goswami further announced that the Sabha will hold its main centenary celebration in Jorhat on December 2 and 3 at the central office. Reflecting on the legacy of Zubeen Garg, he emphasised the importance of honouring artists and cultural icons. “A nation that does not respect its artists and writers can never be called civilised,” he said. He added that Garg’s birth anniversary on November 18 would be observed “with grandeur” and urged people to honour the day through kindness, compassion and service to the needy; values the late icon embodied. “Garg left by establishing himself as someone who cared, loved and worshipped nature. On his birth anniversary, we should do something that keeps him alive forever among us,” he said. Dr Goswami also revealed that land has already been earmarked within the Sabha premises for Garg’s statue, which will be installed in December and designed to allow visitors to pause and pay tribute. “Not only must the fan clubs but everyone in Assam ensure we never lose him. The Assam Sahitya Sabha will always extend support to this cause,” he said. He also praised Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma’s initiative to bring the Vrindabani Bastra, the revered textile artwork associated with Mahapurush Srimanta Sankardev, back from the British Museum in London for an exhibition in Assam in 2027. “Sankardev united the Assamese people with a thread of harmony and taught humanity beyond caste or religion. In this context, we express gratitude to the Chief Minister for taking responsibility to bring back the Vrindabani cloth, a remarkable symbol of our ancient art and culture,” he said.

It is a positive development for a National U squad that lost three-time UAAP Most Valuable Player Bella Belen, Alyssa Solomon, Sheena Toring and Erin Pangilinan to graduation after winning back-to-back UAAP crowns earlier this year. "From the start, I told them na- because marami 'yung nawala, we have to do this together. We have to work as a team now, because significant 'yung mga nawala. We have to fill in those shoes, but to get there, we have to grow together ng sabay-sabay. We have to be a team," said head coach Regine Diego, who won her first crown as NU's mentor after replacing Sherwin Meneses in September. "Kasi last time, individually, malalakas talaga. This time, we can do this as a team, sabi ko, and that will help us defend the title." Overall, NU went 13-0 this season, including its three-game domination of the National Invitationals, where prized rookie Sam Cantada emerged as the Best Player, introducing herself as the team's newest weapon. Cantada teamed up with Alinsug, Kaye Bombita and Maaya on offense in the championship series clincher, finishing with 24 points as NU replicated a come-from-behind Game 1 win that also went the full five sets.

CM Sarma reviews London waterfront for ideas to upgrade Guwahati riverfront

Guwahati, Nov 17: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, currently on a two-day visit to London, visited the city’s waterfront to study global best practices that could help enhance Guwahati’s riverfront infrastructure and beautification efforts.The visit comes shortly after the inauguration of the Brahmaputra Riverfront–Sati Radhika Shaanti Udyan, on November 7 by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. “On my first day in London I visited the city’s waterfront. We are transforming Guwahati’s riverfront and are in the process of borrowing some of the global best practices. In between, I also met our hardworking diaspora and interacted with them,” Sarma wrote on his social media handle. Guwahati currently has three major riverfront parks — the Brahmaputra River Heritage Centre, the Brahmaputra Riverfront, and the newly inaugurated Sati Radhika Shaanti Udyan. Developed at Uzanbazar at a cost of Rs 327 crore, the Brahmaputra Riverfront–Sati Radhika Shaanti Udyan re-imagines the riverfront experience over a 1.2 km stretch from the New DC Bungalow to Kachari Ghat. The urban park features a 15-metre-wide boulevard, landscaped walkways, cycling tracks, open gyms, children’s play areas and Assamese-themed gateways, blending leisure, culture and environmental sustainability. Sarma’s London visit also comes close on the heels of the announcement to bring back the Vrindavani Vastra to Assam for six months. “Tomorrow is a big day for Assam & Bharat. We are signing a MoU with the British Museum so that the sacred Vrindavani Vastra can be brought back home under a loaning arrangement. Vikas and Virasat continue to be pillars of our governance agenda,” he wrote. The Chief Minister began his trip on Saturday, with the primary objective of facilitating the temporary return of the 16th-century Vrindavani Vastra, a priceless silk textile created under the guidance of the revered saint Srimanta Sankardeva. A dedicated museum is being planned in Khanapara, which is expected to serve as a secure, climate-controlled facility for the display and preservation of the centuries-old textile.On my first day in London I visited the city’s waterfront.

Today in Spain: A roundup of the latest news on Monday

Ukraine President Zelensky to visit Madrid Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will visit Madrid on Tuesday to meet with MPs, Spain's Congress of Deputies has announced. The visit will come a day after a trip to Paris and Zelensky will meet deputies from both chambers. He will be received in the Lower House by its Speaker, Francina Armengol, and by the President of the Senate, Pedro Rollán. He will also meet Prime Minister Pedro Sànchez and visit Picasso's Guernica in the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, government sources have confirmed to Spanish news agency EFE. Health Ministry to take Madrid President to court over abortion objector register Spain's Ministry of Health is reportedly weighing up whether to begin administrative proceedings to file an appeal against Isabel Díaz Ayuso, the Madrid regional President, for her refusal to implement a register of 'conscientious objector' doctors in the region, something required by Spanish law to guarantee the right to abortion. In Spain, doctors can choose to legally opt out of performing abortions. This was announced over the weekend by Health Minister, Mónica García, who said on Saturday that the Madrid president "will have to answer to the courts" for what she termed a "rebellion" against Spanish law, framing Ayuso's as an attack on the rights of Spanish women. "I don't know what Mrs Ayuso has against women, I don't know what this crusade she has waged against the women of Madrid is," García said. Mazón faces Spanish Congress grilling over Valencia floods The disgraced former President of the Valencia region, Carlos Mazón, will on Monday face questions from Deputies in the Spanish Congress about his role in the deadly floods in the region that left 229 dead. This comes a week after his appearance at a commission in the regional Les Corts, and two weeks after resigning as President of the Generalitat after a year of political pressure and protests calling for his resignation. In his appearance in the Valencian Corts, Mazón took no responsibility for his role on the day of the floods and shifted blame, accusing government bodies such as the Júcar Hydrographic Confederation and the state meteorological agency, Aemet. Septuagenarian arrested in Valencia for selling cocaine from his car Spanish police have arrested a 77-year-old man in the Valencian neighbourhood of Malilla who allegedly sold cocaine from his car. Media reports suggest police also seized a total of €84,900 in cash. According to a Valencia police statement, the investigation began at the beginning of October when the agents became aware that an elderly man was selling drugs in the area. After setting up a surveillance operation, police found that the suspect was travelling around in a private car and stopping at specific points where different people came to make quick exchanges through the window.

Final consultation opens on next rural development policy

Members of the public are being offered a final chance to share their views on Ireland's next rural development policy. Minister for Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht, Dara Calleary, has today (Monday, November 17) launched the final public consultation on the updated version of 'Our Rural Future'. The new policy will set out "a renewed vision" and new actions to respond to the opportunities and challenges facing rural communities. Since its launch in 2021, the minister said Our Rural Future has "delivered vital investment and supports, strengthened local economies, and improved quality of life across rural Ireland". He said the next iteration of the policy is now being developed to respond to the evolving needs of rural economies and communities. Rural development Over recent months, the Department of Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht has engaged with stakeholders and communities across the country to gather views on what matters most for rural Ireland and its people. 1,300 people completed an online survey, while around 500 attended consultation events during the summer. Following this, a consultation document has been published on the department's website which proposes key themes and priorities, along with a series of questions. To date, the feedback has highlighted the central role of the agriculture, food, marine and forestry sectors in sustaining rural economies. Among the key challenges identified were farm viability and generational renewal; the need to adapt to evolving environmental and climate requirements; and pressures on land use, water quality and biodiversity. Consultation Minister Calleary TD, said the launch of this final phase of consultation "marks an important milestone in developing the next Our Rural Future policy". “I want to hear your views on how government can continue to support rural areas and how we can ensure that national policy responds to the emerging opportunities and challenges faced by rural communities," he said. Minister of State with responsibility for Community Development and Charities, Jerry Buttimer, encouraged "everyone with an interest in their local community to take part". “I have seen first-hand the passion and commitment of people during our consultation events, and we now have another valuable opportunity to ensure that voices from every community are heard," he said. The consultation will remain open until December 12, 2025.

Zaldy Co’s allegations not admissible without oath – IBP | ABS-CBN News

“The essence of why a person’s statement should be under oath is sakali mang nagsisinungaling siya, pwede siyang kasuhan ng perjury. Kung totoo ang sinasabi niya, it has an evidential weight, lalo na kung yung statements are corroborated by pieces of evidence,” Panolong explained. The lawyer stressed that due process requires giving accused parties the opportunity to respond. “It should be under oath because it will offer also, give an opportunity to the other party being accused to have their own day in court also,” he said. “Unang-una po, dapat magpakita po siya para masuportahan niya ang kanyang mga sinasabi. Hindi po pwede kasing ang isang tao ay susulpot, biglang may ikukwento at wala man lang oportunidad doon sa kabilang party. 'Yan ang essence ng due process — kailangang may right to confront also the person who is actually accusing. It is very necessary that when someone is exposing something, dapat magpakita siya because it will be a sign of sincerity and good faith on his part,” he continued. Panolong also said that not all material shown online are automatically admissible.
