G7 seeks unity as Trump's tariffs, Ukraine stance weighs on ties
G7 nations were set to negotiate late into the night over a joint statement to show a united front in Canada on Thursday after weeks of tension between U.S. allies and President Donald Trump over his upending of Western trade and security policy. The Group of Seven ministers from Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States, along with the European Union, convened in the remote tourist town of La Malbaie, nestled in the Quebec hills, for meetings on Thursday and Friday that in the past have been broadly consensual. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio briefed his colleagues on talks on Tuesday with Ukraine in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where Kyiv said it was ready to support a 30-day ceasefire deal. But officials said ambiguous comments by Russian President Vladimir Putin left delegates unclear where things stood. In the run-up to the first G7 meeting of Canada's presidency, the crafting of an agreed all-encompassing final statement had been tough, but diplomats said the atmosphere since had been positive and candid.

Natasa Stankovic sings 'I will survive' amid rumours of ex-husband Hardik Pandya's romance with Jasmin Walia
Natasa Stankovic recently turned to Instagram to upload a lively and heartwarming clip featuring a delightful dance session with her young son, Agastya. The affectionate mother-son pair swayed to the rhythm of a vibrant melody inside what appeared to be Agastya’s personal space. Dressed in an elegant black coordinated outfit, Natasa showcased her enthusiasm as she grooved to the beat with infectious energy. She selected the classic anthem ‘I Will Survive’ by Gloria Gaynor as their soundtrack, passionately singing along at moments, particularly emphasizing the lyrics, “I've got my life to live.” During the powerful chorus, where the words “I will survive” played, she reinforced the message of resilience through her expressive movements. Agastya, brimming with excitement, eagerly followed his mother’s lead, hopping and twirling beside her with joy. Accompanying the post, Natasa penned a meaningful caption: «Teach your kids to dance through life #bepresentinthemoment.» This heartening video surfaced amidst growing speculation surrounding cricketer Hardik Pandya and British singer as well as television personality Jasmin Walia. Rumors of their alleged romance gained momentum after Jasmin was sighted at the Champions Trophy 2025 final held at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Her presence at the high-profile match further intensified whispers of a possible relationship, especially since she and Hardik had shared strikingly similar vacation snapshots from Mykonos, Greece, during the same period.

Russia-Ukraine ceasefire deal: Trump warns Putin of 'doing things' that would be 'very bad'
Donald Trump has warned his Russian counterpart of «doing things» if the nation refuses for a ceasefire deal with Ukraine. He suggested that financial measures could be used to pressure Moscow but emphasised his priority was achieving peace. While responding to the question about pressuring Russia, Trump said, «I can do things financially, that would be very bad for Russia. I don't want to do that because I want to get peace.» He has said that a ceasefire in Ukraine would benefit Russia but warned of potential downsides, without providing further details. According to Reuters, Trump confirmed that US officials were set to visit Russia to discuss a proposed 30-day halt in hostilities and the possibility of peace talks. After extensive discussions in Saudi Arabia, Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire, leaving the next move to Russia. «Hopefully we can get a ceasefire from Russia,» Trump told reporters in the Oval Office, adding that he had received positive signals but remained cautious about the situation. The Kremlin, meanwhile, stated that it was awaiting details from Washington before responding to the proposal.

UK care firms should hire foreign workers already in country, says govt
social care providers will have to prioritise hiring foreign care workers already in the country before recruiting from overseas, the government said on Wednesday, as it cracks down on worker abuse in a sector heavily reliant on immigration.

'Vedanta promoters to maintain 50% stake in each of demerged entities': Anil Agarwal
Vedanta Ltd's promoters will maintain over 50% stake in each of its demerged entities, as the focus remains on creating pure-play companies which will be better placed to capitalise opportunities, the group's chairman said. The mining conglomerate is looking to demerge its businesses — aluminium, oil & gas, power and steel- as separate entities. At present, these businesses are subsumed within Vedanta Ltd, the Indian subsidiary of UK-based Vedanta Resources. «We realised that most of our businesses are sitting under a large banyan tree structure, that is Vedanta. It is better to take them out and allow them to grow in the sun,» Vedanta Resources chairman Anil Agarwal told ET during an interaction. There is no need for a stake sale for cutting debt at the holding company level, he said. «We are very comfortable with our shareholding levels and have no plans to pare down our promoter stake in any way. Equally, we have no plans to increase our stake in any of the companies that will be demerged,» he said, explaining that the company is sufficiently funded to manage affairs through internal accruals. But it is open to selling the steel business if a «right price» is offered.
