McLaren secured their second consecutive constructors' championship at the Singapore Grand Prix on Sunday, but the celebration turned bitter after a first-lap collision between teammates Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris sparked fierce internal conflict.

Stewards cleared Norris of wrongdoing, but Piastri remained upset and criticized his teammate's driving as inadequate collision avoidance. The tension escalated when Norris ignored team strategy by extending his stint on medium tires and...

Kenya's Pharmacy and Poisons Board denied social media reports on Sunday claiming it would block more than 21,000 medical products from entering the country.

Igembe Central MP Dan Kiili accidentally combined the names of former political leaders Raila Odinga and Uhuru Kenyatta before correcting himself on Sunday at St. Mary's AIPCA Church in Kathelwa, Meru.

President Ruto announced plans at the same church service to elevate Meru to city status and build a State Lodge in the region by December to facilitate government consultations for Meru, Tharaka...
Approximately 1,200 descendants of former Awadh kingdom rulers collect royal pensions in Uttar Pradesh on Sunday after their ancestors loaned money to the British East India Company during the 1800s. The payments originate from interest earned on 2.6 million rupees deposited in a Lucknow bank, but individual amounts have diminished across generations to as little as 9.70 rupees monthly for some recipients.
The pension system began in 1817 after Bahu Begum provided 40 million rupees to the Company under terms requiring monthly payments to relatives. Recipients argue the 4 percent interest rate established centuries ago should increase to match modern banking standards, while critics consider the payments outdated feudal privileges. The...
