      Trump tumult: One judge hears case on $130,000 hush-money payment to adult entertainer; another judge asks her to pay him $121,000 in legal fees

      In a vivid illustration of how broken and partisan American politics and judiciary has become, an appeals court in California ordered adult entertainer Stormy Daniels to pay more than $121,000 in legal fees reimbursement to former President Donald Trump in a 2018 defamation suit she lost. The ruling came hours after prosecutors in New York charged Trump with a 34-count felony accusing him falsifying business records while allegedly paying her $130,000 in hush-money to buy her silence for a one-night stand. The California court award, obtained by Indian-American attorney Harmeet Dhillon, whose law firm represented Trump in the case, is unrelated to the merit or otherwise of the New York case, but it prompted Trump and his followers to claim the criminal indictment was…

      ‘Battle of Waterlooville’ blow for Suella Braverman in Tory contest for new seat

      ATory councillor in Suella Braverman’s new constituency would “struggle” to campaign for the home secretary if she wins the nomination. Caroline Brook said she “disagrees fundamentally” with Ms Braverman and would find it difficult to knock on doors to get her re-elected. Ms Braverman is facing fellow Tory Flick Drummond in a party vote to become the party’s candidate for a proposed new constituency, Fareham and Waterlooville. Constituency boundary changes will see the two Hampshire MPs go head to head in what has been dubbed the Battle of Waterlooville.

      Twenty-one people have now been convicted after the biggest investigation by West Midlands Police into child sexual abuse in the force’s history.

      Indian opposition decries new schoolbook’s omission of Hindu rage at Mahatma Gandhi

      Indian opposition parties on Wednesday condemned the removal from some schoolbooks of references to how independence hero Mahatma Gandhi’s pursuit of Hindu-Muslim unity angered some Hindu extremists and led to his assassination. The new edition of a political science book for 17-18 year olds, published by the autonomous National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), also removed a reference to a year-long ban on the Hindu group Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) after Gandhi was assassinated in 1948 by a Hindu hardliner, Nathuram Godse. The RSS is the ideological parent of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). NCERT’s director told Reuters the changes had been recommended by an expert committee. “The committee noted that when schools reopened after…

      ‘US going to hell’: Donald Trump attacks hush money case in grievance-filled Mar-a-Lago speech

      Simmering with anger and defiance, Donald Trump returned to the safe space of Mar-a-Lago and his loyal supporters on Tuesday night, seeking to turn his status as an accused criminal into a political war cry. The former president ignored a plea from the judge in the case to refrain from inflammatory rhetoric, even launching a broadside at the judge’s daughter over her political connections. Trump flew back to Florida from New York, where prosecutors had accused him of orchestrating hush-money payments to cover up claims of affairs before the 2016 election. Sitting in a Manhattan court, Trump pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. But on the evening of a sombre day for America and its judicial system,…
