JD Vance made a controversial comparison between Kamala Harris and Jeffrey Epstein, in a recent Fox News Sunday interview. Vance criticized Harris' campaign and suggested that internal polling from the Donald Trump campaign indicated Harris was not making significant progress with voters. He argued that voters did not believe Harris could effectively address inflation issues in the U.S. This led him to make a provocative statement: he compared the idea of giving Harris control over inflation policy to giving Jeffrey Epstein control over human trafficking policy. Vance claimed that the American people were too smart to support Harris as a fresh start, as per the reports of Yahoo news. During the interview with Shannon Bream, who maintained a neutral demeanor, Vance also expressed skepticism about the impact of recent polling data. He seemed particularly frustrated by a new ABC/Washington Post/Ipsos poll, which showed Harris leading Trump both nationally and in key swing states. According to the poll, Harris was ahead of Trump by 4 points nationally and by 6 points among likely voters. This was the first poll in this election cycle indicating Harris' lead over Trump beyond the margin of error. Also Read: Where is Melania Trump?

Japan sent out its first-ever megaquake warning following an earthquake of 7.1 magnitude on the Richter scale that occurred on the southern island of Kyushu. It wasn't the main concern, even though the shaking didn't produce much ramifications but the largest tsunami wave it produced would have reached one’s knee. Instead, seismologists were worried that the earthquake would cause tension that might set off a bomb that was ticking away offshore in Japan, near the Nankai trough, which is probably the most dangerous fault in the nation. The Japanese government estimates that the subduction zone has the capacity to produce tsunami waves up to 100 feet tall and kill almost a third of a million people. As quoted in a report by NBC News, Harold Tobin, Washington state’s seismologist, stated, «We don't have such a protocol» in the United States. However, the Cascadia subduction zone has equally dangerous faults. The Cascadia fault's 9.0 magnitude earthquake and the fatal tsunami, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, would kill 14,000 people in Oregon and Washington. Tobin has been considering this scenario for years: What justifies raising the alarm if he discovers evidence, even if it's slight, that a catastrophic earthquake is more likely to occur? Part of Tobin's dilemma stems from this peculiar period in his field: In the world's most seismically hazardous areas, researchers believe they are narrowing in on the causes or precursors of earthquakes, but the science is far from conclusive.

Ukraine, the External Affairs Ministry said today. It will be Modi's first trip to the war-torn country since its conflict with Russia and about a month after he met President Vladimir Putin in Moscow. Details of the trip will be shared later in the day, Reuters reported quoting the foreign ministry. Modi is expected to visit Ukraine between August 21 and 23, ET had reported earlier. It comes just over a month after Modi visited Russia and Austria. Western capitals have imposed sanctions on Moscow following its invasion of Ukraine in 2022, but friendly nations such as India and China have continued to trade with it.

economy, there are cheerleaders, there are doomsayers and there are those who hold up the mirror. Nouriel Roubini, the New York University professor, belongs to the last category as he passionately propagates his theories based on data. Roubini, the Turkish-born economist may have earned the moniker of Dr Doom for predicting the US subprime housing implosion that triggered the global financial crisis, but he's more often misunderstood by the markets whenever it is on steroids, as it is now. The economist, who will be wearing the hat of a fund manager with an exchange-traded fund soon, is set to reveal his view of the world at ET's World Leaders' Forum this month in New Delhi.

Max, Peacock, and Hulu. We have a list of movies with their release dates on OTT streaming platforms. After a bumpy run in theaters, Kevin Costner's Western “Horizon: An American Saga” is landing Friday, August 23, on Max. Costner's three-hour epic, the first of what Costner had hoped would be a four-film series, didn't win over a lot of critics and didn't light up the box office ($29 million domestically) despite Costner's passionate belief in the project. (He put up millions of his own money for its $100 million-plus budget.) A release date for the already-completed part two was also postponed. An ensemble cast is led by Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Jena Malone and Costner. George Miller’s “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga,” streaming now on Max, may have struggled to match the dizzying heights of 2015’s “Fury Road.” But the film, a prequel to “Fury Road,” features some extraordinary action sequences, a grand fleet of dystopian vehicles and one of the best performances of Chris Hemsworth’s career. Anya Taylor-Joy stars as young Furiosa, taking over the role played earlier by Charlize Theron.
