Gaurav Gogoi questions Speaker, Amit Shah defends Speaker’s powers during no-confidence debate
However, opposition lawmakers objected to Pal presiding over the House and said the government had not appointed a deputy speaker in the past few years, creating a constitutional vacuum.Congress MP KC Venugopal questioned Jagdambika Pal’s authority, saying, “You were appointed by the Speaker of the Lok Sabha.” He added that the House should elect a person to preside over proceedings during the debate on the resolution.The finance minister refuted the claims, citing constitutional provisions, laws and House rules. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said the opposition’s claims were irrelevant as Pal was capable of presiding over the Lok Sabha when the resolution was passed.Rijiju said a member of the chairman’s panel could preside over the Lok Sabha meeting when a resolution to remove the Speaker is being considered.“Presidential panel member Jagdambika Pal can preside over the Lok Sabha session after considering the resolution to remove the Speaker,” Rijiju said.“Kiren Rijiju is the parliamentary affairs minister who interrupts the opposition most often”Responding to this, Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi said, “When the parliamentary records are studied in the future, statistics will show that Kiren Rijiju is the parliamentary affairs minister who interrupted the opposition the most.”Union Home Minister Amit Shah also intervened and said: “I agree with you that Kiren Rijiju, as parliamentary affairs minister, interrupted the most. But we have also never seen such irresponsible opposition. “Gogoi reiterated his previous view that it was because of the authority of the Speaker that he selected the chairperson from the panel to chair such debates.He argued that allowing panel members appointed by the Speaker to preside over debates against the Speaker’s motion amounted to a “violation of the constitution”.A total of 118 opposition MPs signed the motion, accusing the Speaker of “partisan” behavior after opposition leader Rahul Gandhi was allegedly not allowed to speak in the House. In reading out the resolution, MP Javid also mentioned that the Speaker falsely accused opposition female MPs of planning a personal attack on the Prime Minister.According to sources, Federal Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Kiren Rijiju will initiate discussions on the resolution.

“The jammer makes no sense, but did the person responsible for Nancy’s kidnapping tamper with a nearby electrical box?” Retired FBI agent Jennifer Coffendaver “This makes sense and the FBI is investigating,” X read.
She added, “Obviously, LE also implies the concept of more than 1 perpetrator. That makes sense too.”
Investigators previously asked residents in Nancy’s neighborhood if they noticed any interruptions in their internet connection the night she disappeared. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department and FBI reportedly went door-to-door asking residents if they noticed their internet connections.
Sheriff Chris Nanos thinks Nancy Guthrie is being held ‘locally’
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos He had previously said he believed Nancy was being held there. “I don’t know why. I don’t have any proof of it, but I just believe she’s out there somewhere,” Nanos told the BBC on February 18.
Nanos also said the investigation is “constantly expanding.” “As far as leads, jobs and getting out there, I would say, yes, it’s growing,” the chief said.
Nanos previously said the Guthrie family “has been nothing but cooperative and gracious and they are the victims in this case,” adding, “To suggest otherwise is not only wrong, it is cruel. The Guthrie family are victims, plain and simple.”

Was Erika Kirk raised by a single mother? Candace Owens offers a new account (Reuters/Rebecca Cook, mrserikakirk/X)
“I’ll tell you my personal opinion and experience with her. What shocks me about Erica is not the fact that she lied, which we will prove to you over and over again, but more importantly I don’t know if she realizes she’s lying,” Owens said in a Feb. 25 post titled “a wrinkle in time‘.
Owens accused Erica of misrepresenting her identity to the public by lying about being raised by a single mother.

Owens went on to mention Erica’s September 2025 New York Times profile, in which she said that for her and Charlie’s two children, becoming a single mother was actually the “least traumatic” aspect of her new life, since she herself was raised by a singer mother after her parents divorced. She describes her mother as her “blueprint.”
Owens later said Erica’s image was created by “feeding the public the idea that you can raise kids, you can be a single mom, you can be a CEO and a boss, baby.”
“The only problem is that’s not true. Erica was not raised by a single mother at all,” Owens claimed, adding that Kent has been in Erica’s life “forever.”
“To the point where she was actually a stay-at-home dad throughout Kent’s entire childhood. So, at one point, it was almost the exact opposite,” Owens added.
While talking to Charlie on an episode of The Charlie Kirk Show podcast, Owens played a video of Erica defending stay-at-home dads, noting that her dad had been a stay-at-home dad for several years.
“I have to say it was really sweet. And really special. I was four years old,” Erica said in the video.
Owens noted that Erica was only 10 years old when her parents divorced in 1998, “so her father was a big part of her early childhood and he didn’t stop being involved in her teenage years.” Owens cited conversations she had with Erica’s classmates and ex-boyfriends.
Owens went on to mention that Erica has a stepfather, Larry Quinta, who has been a “fixed member” of her life “since before her parents’ divorce was finalized.”

After Erica was crowned Miss Arizona USA in 2012, she told Arizona Foothills that she was drawn to pageants as a way to serve others, a value her mother instilled in her.
“My mom used to take us to soup kitchens and kept saying we needed to share our blessings with others,” she told the publication. “When I learned that by competing I could reach more people and further my career, I knew this was an opportunity to make an even greater impact.”
AZCentral.com reports that Erika is Catholic and graduated from a private Catholic high school in 2007. Erika posted a Instagram Photo of her worshiping with her mother in August 2021, thanking her for teaching her the importance of faith.

The Iran-US-Israel war has left thousands of passengers stranded across the UAE due to airspace closures, flight cancellations and air diversions. While UAE authorities have been praised for providing assistance to tourists, providing hotel and food vouchers and transport services, many are still scrambling to catch the next flight home. While geopolitical tensions continue to escalate, a limited number of flights have resumed to help safely transport stranded passengers home. Many airlines in the Gulf region and those connected to the region through their air networks have started to gradually arrange flights. Etihad Airways, one of the Gulf region’s leading airlines, has released its latest limited flight schedule to key destinations from Abu Dhabi. The airline has listed flights for March 10, 11 and 12 so that passengers with existing bookings can be accommodated as quickly as possible.
The airline advises travelers not to travel to the airport unless they have a confirmed booking or Etihad has contacted them directly. All flights will only operate after procedural safety and security checks. While passengers with existing bookings will be given priority, other passengers can purchase tickets on etihad.com, the airline’s website said. Here are some things to note:
Please visit etihad.com to check your flight status before traveling.
Make sure the contact details on your booking are up to date.
Tickets issued on or before February 28, 2026, with travel dates before March 21, can be rebooked for free on Etihad-operated flights until May 15, 2026.
Refunds for flights before March 21 can be requested at etihad.com/en/help/refund-form or through your travel agent.
From March 6 to 19, the airline will arrange flights to Ahmedabad, Amsterdam, Athens, Bangkok, Beijing, Bangalore, Boston, Cairo, Delhi, Dubai, Jeddah, Karachi, London (Heathrow), Manila, Melbourne, Mumbai, New York (JFK), Paris, Riyadh, Sydney, Tokyo and other destinations.

Things to consider before buying a Chromebook
1. Processor and performance: Check the processor before choosing a Chromebook. Entry-level models use Intel Celeron or MediaTek chips for browsing, document editing, and video streaming. If you work with multiple tabs or web applications, consider models with Intel Core processors and higher RAM.
2. Memory and storage: Chromebooks mainly rely on Google Drive for cloud storage. Most devices offer 4GB or 8GB RAM and eMMC storage. If you have many browser tabs open or run Android apps, choose a model with 8GB of RAM and at least 128GB of storage.
3. Display size and resolution: Display size affects portability and comfort. Compact models around 11-12 inches are suitable for travel and students. Larger screens like 14-inch or 15.6-inch displays are better for document work, video streaming, and multitasking. Full HD resolution delivers clearer text and video.
4.Battery life: Battery performance is important for users who work outside the home or office. Many Chromebooks last between 10 and 13 hours. Check the battery capacity and manufacturer claims to make sure the laptop can last a full day of work or study.
5. Build and Portability: If you carry your laptop around frequently, weight and build quality are important. Lightweight models around 1.2kg to 1.5kg are more suitable for travel, classes or meetings. Some Chromebooks also include durability certification for daily use.
6. Convertible or standard design: Some Chromebooks feature a 360-degree hinge that allows the screen to rotate into tablet or tent mode. These models facilitate reading, presentation, and media streaming. Standard laptop designs focus primarily on keyboard-based work.
7. Connections and ports: Look for Wi-Fi standard, USB-C port, USB-A port, HDMI or microSD card slot. These options help connect external monitors, storage drives or accessories without the need for additional adapters.
8. Software and Updates: Chromebooks run ChromeOS, which receives regular updates from Google. Check your device’s Automatic Update Expiration (AUE) period to find out when your laptop will receive software and security updates.

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Tuesday directed the Center to formulate a no-fault compensation policy for people suffering serious adverse effects due to COVID-19 vaccines.A bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta said the existing mechanism for monitoring adverse events after immunization should continue.The Supreme Court ordered: “The Union of India will formulate a no-fault compensation policy for serious adverse events after COVID-19 vaccination. The existing monitoring mechanism for adverse events after vaccination should be continued and relevant data can be made public on a regular basis.”“Given the existing mechanisms for the scientific assessment of adverse events following immunization, there is no need for a separate court-appointed expert body,” it added.However, the Supreme Court said the introduction of such a compensation scheme should not be seen as an admission of any wrongdoing by the government.The Supreme Court ruled on the plea, one of which alleged that two women died after taking the first dose of the Covishield vaccine in 2021. The petition further claimed that both of them suffered severe adverse effects after the immunization.In early 2022, the Kerala High Court directed the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) to “expeditiously” formulate a policy to identify people who died due to sequelae of Covid-19 immunization and compensate their families.Justice V G Arun directed the NDMA to take necessary action “as soon as possible” but within three months of issuing the order on September 1.The direction came after Justice Arun said he had personally come across three such cases in the current jurisdiction where it was alleged that a person who had been immunized against Covid-19 died due to sequelae of vaccination.
