WASHINGTON: House Democrats have announced two articles of impeachment charging President Donald Trump with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The charges unveiled Tuesday stem from Trump's pressure on Ukraine to announce investigations of his political rivals as he withheld aid to the country. Earlier Tuesday, Trump tweeted he did ``NOTHING`` wrong and that impeaching a president with his record would be ``sheer Political Madness!'' Speaker Nancy Pelosi said ahead of the morning announcement that Trump tried to ``corrupt our upcoming elections'' and remains a ``threat to our democracy and national security.''

Aamir Khan steps into Tom Hanks's shoes. Think it's a good fit? Tom Hanks may be the only actor who could have played the role, wrote the late legendary film critic Roger Ebert after watching Forest Gump in 1994. 25 years late, it's still hard to imagine any other actor balancing the character's child-like worldview and heartrending sentimentality like Hanks did. Bollywood doesn't think so. Ready or not, Aamir Khan is all set to star in its official remake called Lal Singh Chaddha. Winner of six Academy Awards in the Year of Pulp Fiction and The Shawshank Redemption, the original directed by Robert Zemeckis chronicles the sometimes maudlin, sometimes fanciful journey of its 75 IQed titular protagonist from boy to man. After playing a thug, a wrestler, an alien and Ranveer Singh's pug-faced pet, Bollywood's resident perfectionist is ready to invite comparisons with one of the most adored actors in the world: Tom Hanks.Often called India's own Tom Hanks (there's even a Facebook page of … [Read more...] about Meet Bollywood’s Forrest Gump

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump would attend the annual World Economic Forum meeting in Davos in January, the White House has said. For the second consecutive year, Trump would attend the global meet. "As you know, the World Economic Forum will take place in Davos, Switzerland from January 22 through 25. The President will attend, as he did last year," White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said. Notably, Trump had declined India's invitation to attend the annual Republic Day Parade in New Delhi on January 26. The White House had cited scheduling conflicts as one of the reasons. Sanders said Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin will lead the delegation, and that will also include Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross, and Secretary of Labour Alex Acosta. Other members of the delegation include Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao, Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen, US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, Small Business … [Read more...] about Donald Trump to attend Davos World Economic Forum
