Romania's far-right candidate Calin Georgescu on Saturday urged voters to go to polling stations despite the country's top court having scrapped the presidential elections over alleged irregularities amid claims of Russian interference. The court's shock ruling, coming just before the presidential run-off which had been due Sunday, opens the way for a new electoral process starting from scratch in the EU and NATO member state bordering war-torn Ukraine. The annulment follows a spate of intelligence documents declassified by the presidency this week detailing allegations against Georgescu and Russia, including claims of "massive" social media promotion and cyberattacks. Georgescu -- who unexpectedly topped last month's first round of voting -- called for voters on Sunday "to wait to be welcomed, to wait for democracy to win through their power", said a statement from his team. "Mr. Calin Georgescu believes that voting is an earned right," said the statement. "That is why he believes that Romanians have the right to be in front of the polling stations tomorrow." Georgescu himself would go to a polling station near Bucharest at 0600 GMT, said his team. Earlier Saturday, police raided three houses in Brasov city in central Romania as part of the investigation "in connection with crimes of voter corruption, money laundering, computer forgery". Among the houses searched was that of businessman Bogdan Peschir, a TikTok user who according to the declassified documents allegedly paid $381,000 to those involved in the promotion of Georgescu, Romanian media reported. Peschir has compared his support for Georgescu to the world's richest man Elon Musk's backing of US president-elect Donald Trump. Little-known outsider Georgescu, a 62-year-old former senior civil servant, was favourite to win the second round on Sunday against centrist pro-EU mayor Elena Lasconi, 52, according to several polls. But the constitutional court on Friday unanimously decided to annul the entire electoral process as it was "marred... by multiple irregularities and violations of electoral legislation". President Klaus Iohannis said on Saturday that he had discussed with European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen, and they agreed on the "need to strengthen the security of social media". The European Commission announced earlier this week that it had stepped up monitoring TikTok after Romania's authorities alleged "preferential treatment" of Georgescu on the platform -- a claim the company has denied. More from this section Following the court's decision, the United States said it had faith in Romania's institutions and called for a "peaceful democratic process". Trump's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., on X branded the vote's cancellation an "attempt at rigging the outcome" and "denying the will of the people". Georgescu called it "a formalised coup d'etat" and said democracy was "under attack". His team on Saturday declined to comment on the raids, saying they "will not comment or provide answers until we have exact data". Georgescu and another far-right party, the AUR, have said they plan to appeal the decision to stop the voting to the High Court of Cassation and Justice. A past admirer of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Georgescu, an EU and NATO sceptic, in recent days had reframed himself as "ultra pro-Trump," vowing to put Romania "on the world map" and cut aid for neighbouring Ukraine. In an interview with US broadcaster Sky News on Saturday, Georgescu said there were no links between him and Russia. Political scientist Costin Ciobanu told AFP that the annulment has "further polarised Romanian society". With trust in institutions and the ruling class already low, the vote's cancellation poses a "major danger that Romanians will think that it doesn't matter how they vote", Ciobanu added. Elsewhere in the EU, Austria annulled presidential elections in 2016 because of procedural irregularities. In Romania, a new government is expected to set another date for the presidential vote. In last weekend's legislative elections, the ruling Social Democrats came top. But far-right parties made big gains, securing an unprecedented third of the ballots on mounting anger over soaring inflation and fears over Russia's war in Ukraine. In a joint appeal on Wednesday, the Social Democrats and three other pro-EU parties -- together making up an absolute majority in parliament -- signed an agreement to form a coalition, promising "stability". bur-jza/jjRebels’ offense goes cold in road loss to CreightonIn the present times, a lot is desirably being talked about mental health and (much-needed) awareness is being created to destigmatise seeking professional therapy/counselling. Plus, it is reinstated repeatedly that it’s okay if you are not okay. What exactly does it mean that it’s okay if you are not okay? For one, it encourages self-acceptance. For two, it means that it’s absolutely normal to opt for help when feeling blue. For three, it builds compassion for others, as well. Let us look at all these aspects one by one. Self-acceptance means, firstly, knowing one’s weaknesses and strengths. And, therapy can help in that. In any case, once this awareness is optimal, the ups and downs of life lose their power because the person feels confident enough with his/her strengths and is fuelled by a need to rise above the weaknesses. Self-acceptance also means being kind, patient and forgiving to oneself, before extending these virtues to the outer world. The second aspect is about realising and meeting the requirement of getting professional, or any sort of, help. A sincere friend recently shared with me a line picked over the social media, “A lot of times people don’t need advice. They just need a friend to sit with them.” It immediately struck home. I even feel that when we are entrusted with someone’s pain and difficulties by them, it’s actually worthwhile to ask whether the person wants comfort, or advice, or both. Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, is kind-heartedness and empathy for others. The world will reflect back whatever we dole out to it. Sooner or later, this is bound to come to fruition. In fact, being humane and helpful should be the only way of one’s life – we never know the silent struggles people are battling - the least we can do is being benevolent. Also, there is a common spirit pervading among all beings, an “all-supreme spirit” – it should be honoured and celebrated. On a different dimension, there is a well-known quote, “every cloud has a silver lining”. It’s another way of saying that let the flowers remind us why rains are there. Whatever struggles and challenges one might be facing at the moment, brighter days are bound to come. Also, I recently read that once our brain has experienced something profound, it doesn’t (can’t) go back to being exactly the same as before again. Happiness inducing experiences won’t pose a problem here, but sadness will, unless dealt with, effectively. So, a few pointers might assist once we acknowledge the difficulty/ sadness as it arrives. Self-confidence: Have trust in your abilities, and recount the times you already arose stronger from adversities and soon you’ll feel equipped and able to cope again. It is said that millions of people can believe in you and yet none of it matters if you don’t believe in yourself. Confide: Suffering in loneliness and keeping thoughts-cum-emotions bottled up inside is a downward spiral. Share, lighten the heart, and let the light of others enlighten you till you can find your own spark again. Go slow: Be easy on yourself and deliberately be slow. It tricks our mind into feeling in control, thus giving a much-needed boost. It helps savour the present moment, too. Take breaks, take one day at a time, and if not huge strides, then do take baby steps. reemaban@gmail.com (The author is an assistant professor of psychology at Rajiv Gandhi Government College, Saha)

Alongside the caption, Savannah shared an image of three napkins with handwriting on top. One napkin read “Menu,” and had several dishes penned underneath, including lasagna, spicy vodka pasta and salad. The napkin that lay next to it featured a long list of items to include in the meal, including chicken stock, pumpkin and pecans. Julie and her husband, Todd Chrisley , were indicted on tax evasion charges in 2019. The pair, who tied the knot in 1996, were subsequently found guilty in June 2022 of tax evasion, bank and wire fraud and conspiracy. Todd and Julie were initially ordered to serve 12 and seven years in prison, respectively. Us Weekly previously confirmed that Todd’s sentence was reduced to 10 years, while a judge recently decided to uphold Julie’s original prison sentence of 84 months. Amid her parent’s legal woes, Savannah took over custody of brother Grayson, 18, and niece Chloe, 12. (Todd, who also shares Chase, 28, with Julie, is dad to Lindsie, 35, and Kyle, 33, from a previous marriage. Kyle is Chloe’s biological father but was adopted by Todd and Julie in 2016.) After a judge decided to uphold Julie’s original prison sentence, Savannah penned an emotional letter while reflecting on how her parents’ imprisonment has impacted both Grayson and Chloe. “Chloe is struggling in school, despite the resources I’ve tried to provide. Both she and Grayson wrestle with anxiety and depression that sometimes leaves them debilitated,” Savannah read during an October episode of her “Unlocked” podcast. “I’m fighting with every ounce of my being to keep them from becoming another statistic. Children of incarcerated parents who lose their way.” She continued, “They are brilliant, beautiful souls with the potential to change the world and I don’t want this world to break them. But I can’t do it alone. I need my mother. We need her.” You have successfully subscribed.

All moments when children need their parents most.”

Deadlock over next year’s Champions Trophy continued as Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi said on Saturday that an International Cricket Council (ICC) meeting to discuss the issue was delayed. The tournament, scheduled to take place in Pakistan from February 19 to March 9, has become embroiled in a dispute, with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) refusing to send its team to Pakistan, citing political and security concerns, despite assurances from all member boards regarding the security arrangements and the tentative match schedule. BCCI representatives on Thursday turned down the PCB’s proposal of adopting a “partnership formula” for the next three years as part of efforts to break the ongoing deadlock between the two parties. Addressing the continuing deadlock while speaking to the media in Lahore today, Naqvi said: “We had a meeting [with the ICC] today, it’s been postponed. Once the details have been finalised we’ll update you.” Naqvi refused to answer or comment on any alleged developments with the ICC or the BCCI regarding the Champions Trophy, only saying that “we will not disappoint the nation”. “Talks are still ongoing but I do not want to say anything that is premature. We are aiming to achieve the best for Pakistani and international cricket,” he said. Responding to another question, he refused to comment, stating that he did not want to “hurt negotiations”. Naqvi said Pakistan was playing a “positive role” in the talks. Answering a question about newly appointed ICC chief Jay Shah, Naqvi did not comment, only replying: “If the ICC progresses, cricket will progress. If there is a dent in the ICC it will be felt across the world.” With the BCCI having unofficially communicated to the tournament organisers last month about the Indian government’s refusal to allow the country’s cricket team to visit host Pakistan, a hybrid model was reported to have been agreed upon earlier this week. The model, in its originality would have seen India play their Champions Trophy matches at a neutral venue, while the rest of the tournament is held in Pakistan. The PCB, however, had added a tit-for-tat condition to it; Pakistan would also play their matches at neutral venues when India host an ICC tournament in the future – it being dubbed as the “partnership formula”. The PCB initially wanted the condition to be applied until the end of the current Future Tours Programme cycle of the ICC, which culminates with the 2031 Cricket World Cup. With the BCCI disagreeing to it, its Pakistan counterpart proposed the same for the next three years. Amid political tensions between the two neighbours, the BCCI has stood firm by the Indian government’s policy of not engaging with Pakistan in terms of bilateral cricket over the years. However, after having played the last bilateral series against each other in 2012, Pakistan and India have competed in ICC tournaments and the Asia Cup. Pakistan, in fact, visited India to feature in the ICC World Cup last year. The visit, if anything, heightened expectations of India returning the favour by touring Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. But with that not being a realistic possibility and the hybrid model established as the only way out, the PCB wants things to be done on “equal terms” as Naqvi said last week. The Champions Trophy issue has coincided with BCCI secretary Jay Shah taking charge as the ICC president on Dec 1. It is understood that Jay, son of Indian Home Minister Amit Shah – a key leader of the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party, the country’s ruling party – tried his best to delay his arrival to office until the deadlock between the Pakistan and India’s cricket representatives was broken. The issue, however, continued. Sources said the PCB has come to realise its role in the ICC’s politics and is playing all its cards to “bring India to the breaking point”. Meanwhile, however, broadcasters are pressurising the ICC to release the Champions Trophy schedule, with the tournament less than three months away.
