Telegram CEO Says He'll Leave Fortune To 100 Kids Born Via Sperm Donation

Telegram founder Pavel Durov has revealed plans to divide his nearly $20 billion fortune among 100 children he fathered through sperm donations. According to Durov, this arrangement is detailed in his will, which also includes provisions for his six children with three partners.

"Congress Leak": Pralhad Joshi's Claim After Raids Against Karnataka Minister

Union minister Pralhad Joshi has weighed in on the huge row over Enforcement Directorate's allegations linking gold smuggling accused Ranya Rao and the Karnataka home minister G Parameshwara, claiming that it is the fallout of a factional fight within the state Congress.

"The Congress's own complained to the Enforcement Directorate," the minster claimed.  

"Who is writing letters to the Enforcement Directorate to take action?" Mr Joshi said.  

"A faction within the Congress is sending information against Parameshwar and now doing drama. Let me say this clearly, we respect Parameshwara. He is a decent politician. But there are people within the Congress who are sending complaints. Siddaramaiah knows. The intelligece is under him. Ask him. Now he is doing drama,' he added. 

The ED, he said, will act when they get information, "Not because he is a home minister or a Congress leader.

The political row in Karnataka snowballed after the Enforcement Directorate raided educational institutions linked to the Karnataka Home Minister in connection with the gold smuggling case.

The central agency, which is investigating the money laundering angle in the smuggling case, claimed they have found that an education trust had diverted funds and made a payment of Rs 40 lakh towards the credit card bill of Ranya Rao, allegedly on the instructions of an influential individual. 

Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, who met the home minister today, explained the payment was a wedding gift to Ranya Rao.

"I just spoke to Parameshwara, there was a marriage (ceremony), we are in public life, we run institutions. As a gesture to people we know, we give lots of gifts, we give Re 1, Rs 10, Rs 10 lakh, Rs 5 lakh. I think he might have also given a gift. It was a marriage, nothing wrong in it," he said. 

Asked about Mr Shivakumar's remark, Mr Parameshwara said, "You ask DK Shivakumar." Asked if he would cooperate with the investigation, he replied, "Of course."

The Congress has claimed that the state's opposition BJP is politicizing the gold smuggling case to target the ruling party.

Biden Orders US Military To Shoot Down Iranian Missiles Targeting Israel

President Joe Biden has ordered the US military to "aid Israel's defense" and shoot down any and all Iranian missiles targeting Israel, the White House said. President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee in next month's US presidential election, are both monitoring Iran's attack on Israel from the White House situation room, it said. "President Biden directed the US military to aid Israel's defense against Iranian attacks and shoot down missiles that are targeting Israel," the White House said in a statement. A call that Joe Biden had scheduled with rabbis today ahead of the Jewish high holiday season - which begins later this week with Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year - had been postponed to another day, a White House official said.

US Reopens Lake Michigan Airspace After Closure Over "National Defense"

US officials restricted the airspace over Lake Michigan on Sunday citing a potential new threat to national security but soon reopened the skies, as the United States and Canada respond to multiple air intrusions. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced "temporary flight restrictions" over one of the Great Lakes along the US-Canada border, designating it as "national defense airspace," one day after a similar closure over Montana led to the scrambling of US fighter jets. The Montana closure was ordered over a "radar anomaly," but no object was discovered. Similarly, the Lake Michigan restrictions were lifted shortly after they were announced, apparently with no threat detected. "The FAA briefly closed some airspace over Lake Michigan to support Department of Defense activities. The airspace has been reopened," the agency said in a statement to AFP. Sunday's action over Lake Michigan marked the latest move to address a series ...
