Last night, Rishi Sunak was confronted with questions about his wife's fortune after accounts revealed that she earned millions of pounds in dividends from a company that is still active in Russia. Akshata Murthy owns a substantial share in Infosys, the IT and consulting firm founded by her rich father. Following the invasion of Ukraine, major consulting firms PwC, KPMG, and Accenture all left Russia, citing a desire to protest the Kremlin's war. Infosys, on the other hand, continues to operate in Moscow. According to a Daily Mail investigation, Infosys paid two dividends in the last year that would have garnered Ms Murthy roughly £11.7 million through her 0.93 percent stake in the company. The dividend is derived using Infosys' most recent financial figures, which were released in the United States. It includes a payment of 15 Indian rupees per share, or 15p, announced in April of last year, as well as a second payment of 15 rupees announced in October. A few months later,

President Joe Biden visited southern Poland on Friday, where he spoke with US troops and charity workers supporting refugees in a country at the center of Ukraine's humanitarian and military conflict. "What you're working on is far more than determining whether or not you can help the people of Ukraine reduce their agony and suffering. "We're entering a new period, your generation, and we're at a crossroads," Biden addressed the troops. Biden spoke with US troops stationed in Rzeszow, who began arriving at the military installation there last month as part of the US deterrent operation against Russia. The president struck up a conversation with a group of service men, referring to them as the "finest fighting force in the history of the planet," and then sat down to share a slice of pizza with them in the mess hall. Biden stated, "You are the organizing principle around which the rest of the world, the free world, is going." "We&#

Bella-Rae Birch was "deeply missed but never forgotten," according to her family. Police have confirmed that a toddler was mauled to death in her own home by an American Bully XL dog. Bella-Rae Birch, who was 17 months old at the time of the attack in St Helens, died in hospital around 15:50 GMT on Monday. The toddler was attacked only a week after her family purchased the dog, according to Merseyside Police. The dog was verified to be a legitimate breed and not prohibited under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991, according to the force. Pitbull Terrier, Japanese Tosa, Dogo Argentino, and Fila Brasileiro are the four dog breeds now prohibited in the United Kingdom. The attack took place at the family's home on Bidston Avenue in St Helens' Blackbrook neighborhood. One of the child's neighbors described the parents as "hysterical." "As we were driving home from school, we heard shouting." "I just hurried over to offer assistance and began CPR until

The US has officially charged Russian forces of war crimes in Ukraine, pledging to pursue justice "with every instrument at our disposal." Joe Biden made the announcement as he was leaving for a trip to Europe to reinforce Western unity in the face of a growing invasion. Antony Blinken, the US secretary of state, stated that the US reached its decision based on both public and intelligence sources. "Today, I can say that the US administration believes that members of Russia's military have committed war crimes in Ukraine, based on information now available," Blinken stated. "A court of law with jurisdiction over the crime is ultimately responsible for assessing criminal guilt in specific situations," he stated, adding that the US will continue to gather information and share it with international organizations. Blinken stated, "We are dedicated to pursuing responsibility using every instrument available, including criminal proceedings." The n

This afternoon, the Prime Minister spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. President Zelenskyy was briefed on the latest developments on the ground, and Prime Minister Zelenskyy expressed his respect for the Ukrainian military forces' valor and success in repelling Russia's onslaught. The bombardment of civilian places, particularly the siege of Mariupol, he warned, is unjustifiable and requires an international response. The Prime Minister stated his desire to utilize tomorrow's G7 and NATO summits to intensify pressure on Vladimir Putin's administration and to work with partners to increase defensive lethal aid to Ukraine significantly. Leaders would try to meet Ukraine's demands and put President Zelenskyy in the best possible position in the upcoming peace talks. President Zelenskyy and Prime Minister Netanyahu agreed to keep in touch in the coming days.

Following a collision with a van in east London, a teenage girl riding an e-scooter died. On Green Street in Upton Park, the cyclist, who police say was 14 years old, collided with the vehicle. Paramedics treated her, however she died at the scene about 13:30 GMT. The van's driver was with police, according to detectives, but he had not been detained. The girl's family has been notified, according to the Met. Following the incident, police have sealed off a half-mile stretch of the B167 in Newham. Traffic is being diverted at both ends of the cordon, which runs from Selsdon Road to Barking Road. Privately owned e-scooters are prohibited on public roads in the United Kingdom, while a rental scheme was launched in some sections of London in June 2021 as part of government-backed trials across the country. More than half of the 931 e-scooter crashes in the UK last year occurred in London, according to official data from January to June 2021. During the year 2021, the Met Police se

A 17-month-old child died at home after being bitten by a dog. Merseyside Police said Bella-Rae Birch died in hospital after the incident in St Helens at around 15:50 GMT on Monday. Her "extremely distraught" family had only purchased the dog a week before, according to officers.

The attack took place at the family's home on Bidston Avenue in St Helens' Blackbrook neighborhood.

I simply hurried over to assist and began CPR till the paramedics arrived "she stated. "I didn't notice the dog since I was focused on the baby." Another neighbor who assisted with CPR noted, "The parents lavished atte

On Monday, Ukraine rejected Russian demands that it surrender Mariupol, the besieged port city at the center of a violent stalemate that is fuelling a horrific humanitarian crisis. After Moscow promised to allow civilians trapped amid the bombardment without water, heat, or medicine to flee if the city's defenders laid down their arms, Kyiv rejected the demand to surrender the city by 5 a.m. local time (11 p.m. ET). With their progress seemingly coming to a standstill elsewhere and their campaign moving to escalating aerial bombardment of Ukrainian cities, capturing control of the vital city would be a big and unusual triumph for Russian forces. At least eight people were killed and a retail mall was destroyed in a new attack on Kyiv on Sunday night, according to Ukrainian officials. An official death toll has yet to be established. President Joe Biden will go to Europe this week as the US and its allies seek to strengthen Ukraine while punishing Russia for its incursion. The trip

During Saturday morning prayers, worshippers at a mosque in Canada stopped and held a guy who was allegedly carrying an axe and attacking them with bear spray, according to police. According to local media, one worshipper knocked the axe from the man's hands and held him down until police came. A 24-year-old male was apprehended at the site in the Mississauga area, and he was later charged. The bear spray caused minor injuries to some worshipers, according to the mosque's imam. One of the worshippers described the incident as "terrifying," describing hearing a scream before turning around to see a man wielding an axe and spraying three people with bear spray, which is comparable to pepper spray. "By the time he started spraying, the people in the front row had realized something was wrong, and one of the young men came around and knocked the axe away before he could use it," Noorani Sairally told The Globe and Mail in Canada. According to the witness, the yo
