    TEHRAN: Iranian student Reza Parastesh looks so much like his sporting hero Lionel Messi that it almost landed him in jail for disrupting public order this week.
    So many people came out to take selfies with Parastesh in the western city of Hamedan over the weekend that police rushed him into a station and impounded his car to stop the chaos and clear traffic.

    The resemblance is so uncanny that Eurosport UK reportedly used his photo by accident on Twitter recently when talking about the real Messi.
    The furore began a few months ago when Parastesh's football-mad father pressured the 25-year-old into posing in a number 10 Barcelona jersey and sending the pictures to a sports website.

    "I sent them one night and by the morning they had called me and said I should come in quickly for an interview," he told AFP.
    Despite his early reluctance, Parastesh soon grew into his new role, cutting his hair like Messi and often donning the Barca jersey when he goes out.

    It has paid off -- he is fully booked with media interviews and has even landed modelling contracts.
    "Now people really see me as the Iranian Messi and want me to mimic everything he does. When I show up somewhere, people are really shocked," he said.
    Iranians are obsessed with football, and Parastesh finds himself constantly besieged by fans looking for a selfie.
    "I am really happy that seeing me makes them happy and this happiness gives me a lot of energy," he added.

    Parastesh loves football but has never played professionally, though he is working on some tricks so he can better play the role.
    He remembers very well the last game between Iran and Argentina during World Cup 2014, when Messi's 91st-minute goal robbed the Islamic republic of a place in the last 16.
    Reza's dad was furious.
    "After the game, my dad called me and said don't come back home tonight... why did you score a goal against Iran? I said: But that wasn't me!" Parastesh said, laughing.
    His goal now is to meet his hero in Barcelona, and maybe even land a job as his understudy.
    "Being the best player in football’s history, he definitely has more work than he can handle. I could be his representative when he is too busy," he said.

    ISLAMABAD: Strong growth performance, fiscal deficit reduction, and improved inflation dynamics underpin the Government of Pakistan's B3 rating with a stable outlook, says Moody's Investors Service.
    In a statement issued on Monday, the credit rating agency maintained that the government's very narrow revenue base weighs on debt affordability. Meanwhile, it further claimed that exports and remittance inflows have slowed and capital goods imports have risen, resulting in renewed pressure on the external account.
    Moody's conclusions are contained in its annual credit analysis of Pakistan, "Government of Pakistan -- B3 Stable".
    The analytical factors used in its Sovereign Bond Rating Methodology include economic strength, which is assessed as "moderate", institutional strength 'very low (+)', etc".
    Moody's noted that prospects for growth have improved following Pakistan's successful completion of its three-year Extended Fund Facility (EFF) programme with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in September 2016 and the launch of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project in 2015. It noted that the latter's implementation has the potential to transform the country's economy by relieving infrastructure bottlenecks and stimulating both foreign and domestic investment.
    "Since 2013, implementation of economic reforms and increased foreign investment flows have contributed to macroeconomic stabilityand higher GDP growth.
    However, government debt remains elevated and pressure on the external account continues," said William Foster, a Vice President and Senior Credit Officer at Moody's.
    The stable outlook represents balanced upside and downside risks to the sovereign credit profile. Support from multilateral and bilateral lenders has bolstered Pakistan's foreign currency reserves and fostered progress on economic reforms.
    Upward triggers to the rating would stem from sustained progress in structural reforms that would significantly reduce infrastructure impediments and supply-side bottlenecks. This would improve Pakistan's investment environment and eventually aid a shift to a sustained higher growth trajectory.
    A fundamental strengthening in the external liquidity position and meaningful reduction in the government deficit and debt burden would also be credit positive.

    MUMBAI: An epic battle movie from one of India´s lesser-known film industries has trumped Bollywood by becoming the country´s highest-grossing film to date, an industry analyst said on Monday.
    "Baahubali 2: The Conclusion", the final instalment of a two-part fantasy-adventure, has made more than 10 billion rupees ($156 million) worldwide since hitting screens on April 28, according to experts.
    The south Indian movie, which is laden with special effects, has surpassed 2014 Bollywood blockbuster "PK", which made around $120 million, as India´s biggest-grossing movie yet.

    "Baahubali 2 has crossed 1,000 crore (ten billion) rupees in worldwide gross collections, outdoing Aamir Khan´s ´PK´ which was previously the number one Indian film worldwide," Indian film trade analyst Ramesh Bala told AFP.
    Bollywoodhungama.com, which tracks India´s movie industry, also reported that "Baahubali 2" had become the highest grossing Indian film worldwide in history.

    "Baahubali", meaning "The One With Strong Arms", tells the story of two warring brothers battling for control of a fictional Indian kingdom and its elaborate scenes has seen it compared to hit American movie "300".
    The SS Rajamouli-directed film features elaborate fight sequences and computer graphics including rampaging elephants and a bull stampede.
    It was shot in the Telugu and Tamil languages of southern India -- whose film industries, known as "Tollywood" and "Kollywood" respectively -- are often overshadowed by Hindi-speaking Bollywood.

    The movie was dubbed into Hindi and other regional Indian languages and has sparked a wave of "Baahubali" mania across the country as fans flock to cinemas to find out how the series ends after the first film finished in a cliffhanger.
    "Baahubali: The Beginning" made around $100m in worldwide ticket sales when it was released in 2015, according to industry estimates.
    The combined cost of making the two movies was about $70 million, according to estimates, well below the budgets for major Hollywood films.

    QUERÉTARO: Comic book legend Stan Lee is 94 years old but still working on new characters -- telling fans they can expect a Latin superhero by the end of the year.
    The creator of Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four and X-Men made the announcement in front of almost 20,000 fans at La Conque, the largest comic convention in Latin America, after being asked Sunday what kind of hero Mexico would need to address its social problems.
    "I wanted this to be a surprise, but I´m personally working on a Latin hero that you´ll be seeing at the end of the year. I want to make him as good as I can, as different as I can," Lee said.
    He took part in three days of activities at the convention in central Mexico, signing autographs and taking photos with fans who had come from Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Venezuela and even as far away as Belgium.
    "This city, in this country, has the greatest fans in the whole world! You people are spectacular. This convention is wonderful," he said.

    NEW YORK: Comcast Corp launched a new cloud-based service on Monday that allows users to control and monitor their WiFi usage as the largest cable provider in the US looks for ways to boost consumer loyalty in its broadband business.
    The service, called XFi, allows users to set up their home WiFi, shut off children's devices at bedtime, and troubleshoot problems from an application on their mobile phones, website or television. It is now available for free to 10 million of Comcast's Xfinity Internet customers with compatible WiFi devices.
    Comcast is trying to improve the home WiFi experience at a time when its customers are connecting a growing number of devices. The Philadelphia-based company says that by 2020, Americans will have an average of 50 connected devices in their homes.
    Its efforts come at a time when broadband subscribers are outnumbering video customers as more consumers drop their cable packages or never subscribe in the first place. In 2016, Comcast had 24.7 million high-speed Internet customers and 22.5 million video customers, according to a filing.
    On the company's post-earnings conference call, Chief Executive Brian Roberts said last month that "we have more broadband customers than we do video, and the rate of that growth is pretty exciting in broadband". Comcast's broadband business grew 10.1 percent in the first quarter ended March 31.
    In creating XFi, the company hopes to reduce churn or customer defections. Chris Satchell, chief product officer, said in an interview that half of the customer complaints Comcast receives about Internet service are actually about WiFi.
    "We want the connectivity in the home to be as good as connectivity to the home," Satchell said.

    LONDON: Facebook has launched a British newspaper advertising campaign to warn users of the dangers of fake news, in the latest drive by the social media giant to tackle malicious information ahead of a national election.
    Facebook has come under intense pressure to tackle the spread of false stories, which came to prominence during the US presidential election last year when many inaccurate posts were widely shared on it and other social media services.
    Ahead of the June 8 parliamentary election in Britain, it urged its users in the country to be sceptical of headlines that look unbelievable and to check other sources before sharing news that may not be credible.
    It said it would also delete bogus profiles and stop promoting posts that show signs of being implausible.
    "We have developed new ways to identify and remove fake accounts that might be spreading false news so that we get to the root of the problem," said Simon Milner, Facebook´s director of policy for the UK.
    The effort builds on the company´s recently expanded campaigns to identify fake news and crack down on automated profile pages that post commercial or political spam.
    Facebook suspended 30,000 accounts in France ahead of the first round of its presidential election last month and uses outside fact-checkers in the country.
    It has also previously taken out full-page ads in German newspapers to educate readers on how to spot fake news.
    With the headline "Tips for spotting false news", the adverts in Britain listed 10 ways to identify whether a story was genuine or not, including looking closely at a URL, investigating the source, looking for unusual formatting and considering the authenticity of the photo.
    Facebook said it had taken action against tens of thousands of fake accounts in Britain after identifying patterns of activity such as whether the same content is being repeatedly posted.
    "With these changes, we expect we will also reduce the spread of material generated through inauthentic activity, including spam, misinformation, or other deceptive content that is often shared by creators of fake accounts," Facebook said.
    Social media sites including Twitter and YouTube are also facing pressure in Europe where governments are threatening new laws and fines unless the companies move more quickly to remove extremist content.
    Facebook has hired more staff to speed up the removal of videos showing murder, suicide and other violent acts.

    The head of the Iranian armed forces warned Islamabad on Monday that Tehran would hit bases inside Pakistan if the government does not confront Sunni militants who carry out cross-border attacks.
    Ten Iranian border guards were killed by militants last month. Iran claimed militant group Jaish al Adl, had shot the guards with long-range guns, fired from inside Pakistan.
    The border area has long been plagued by unrest from both drug smuggling gangs and separatist militants.
    "We cannot accept the continuation of this situation," Major General Mohammad Baqeri, the head of the Iranian armed forces was quoted as saying by state news agency IRNA.

    "We expect the Pakistani officials to control the borders, arrest the terrorists and shut down their bases."
    "If the terrorist attacks continue, we will hit their safe havens and cells, wherever they are," he said.
    Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif visited Pakistan last week and asked Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to improve the border security. Pakistan assured Iran it would deploy additional troops along its border.

    In 2014 Iran warned it would send troops to Pakistan to retrieve five Iranian border guards kidnapped by Jaish al Adl. Pakistan said at the time that such action would be a violation of the international law and warned Iranian forces not to cross the border.
    Iran refrained from sending the troops when a local Sunni cleric stepped in and resolved the situation.

    Four of the guards were released a few months later, but one was killed by the militants.
    Jaish al Adl is a militant group that has carried out several attacks against Iranian security forces. The group claimed responsibility for attacks that killed eight border guards in April 2015 and 14 border guards in October 2013.

    Far-right National Front candidate Marine Le Pen, whom he defeated after an acrimonious runoff campaign, scornfully dubbed him a "smirking banker" in a rancorous TV debate, painting him as the candidate of "globalisation and Uberisation gone wild". In a final put-down, when Le Pen attempted to interrupt his summing-up, Macron told her, "You stay on TV. I want to be president of the country."

    After pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud, Umair Hamid, a vice president of Axact, faces between 63 and 78 months in US prison, along with a fine of more than $11 million.
    A study of court documents by Dawn reveals details of the sting operation that led to the arrest of Hamid and confirmed his ties to Axact and its owner Shoaib Sheikh in connection with an international "diploma mill" scheme.
    Hamid, 31, was arrested by FBI agents outside a house in the town of Independence, Kentucky, on December 19, 2016. On his way to the Campbell County Jail, a little more than 10 miles to the north, the questions by the FBI agents began to take a more serious turn.
    The agents named specific persons and asked Hamid whether he knew them, and if so, in what capacity. They started with Brett Loebel, who had been dodging allegations of selling diplomas and degrees from fake universities since the late 1990s at least.
    Loebel and Axact had been competitors in the mid-2000s, but eventually learned to work together, Hamid told the FBI.
    Asked if he knew Uzma Shaheen and Zubair Syed, Hamid said he did, adding that they were relatives of Shoaib Sheikh who had been using them “since the beginning to open bank accounts”.
    The indictment against Hamid was filed on January 18 and aimed at a network of individuals beyond Hamid.
    “From at least in or about 2006,” the indictment opened, “up to and including in or about December 2016, Umair Hamid…the defendant, and others known and unknown, operated a massive education ‘diploma mill’ through a Pakistani company, Axact, that has held itself out as one of the world’s leading information technology providers.”
    Wherever Hamid’s name is mentioned, the indictment also goes on to refer to other “co-conspirators, known and unknown”, stressing the point that Hamid did not act alone.
    Hamid is scheduled to be sentenced on July 21, 2017.
    Read the full press release by the US Department of Justice
    Hamid’s Role in the scheme
    Hamid served as Axact’s “Assistant Vice President of International Relations.” Among other things, Hamid made various false and fraudulent representations to consumers in order to sell fake diplomas.
    Hamid controlled websites of purported “schools” that (1) falsely represented that consumers who “enrolled” with the schools by paying tuition fees would receive online instruction and coursework, (2) sold bogus academic “accreditations” in exchange for additional fees, (3) falsely represented that the schools had been certified or accredited by various educational organizations, and (4) falsely represented that the schools’ degrees were valid and accepted by employers, including in the United States.
    As a further part of the scheme, Hamid and a co-conspirator (1) opened bank accounts in the United States in the names of shell entities, effectively controlled by Hamid, that received funds transferred by consumers in exchange for fake diplomas, (2) transferred funds from those bank accounts to bank accounts associated with other entities located elsewhere in the United States and abroad, at the direction of Hamid, and (3) opened and operated an account to collect and distribute consumer funds obtained in connection with their fraudulent scheme.
    In May 2015, Axact was shut down by Pakistani law enforcement, and certain individuals associated with Axact were prosecuted in Pakistan.  Nevertheless, after May 2015, Hamid resumed his fraudulent business of selling fake diplomas to consumers in the United States for upfront fees based upon false and fraudulent representations. Most recently, Hamid travelled to the United States in 2016 in order to open a bank account used to collect money from defrauded consumers.
    The Axact scheme
    Hamid, using the aliases “Shah Khan” and the “Shah,” and others made misrepresentations to individuals across the world, including throughout the United States and in the Southern District of New York, in order to dupe these individuals into enrolling in supposed high schools, colleges, and other educational institutions. Consumers paid upfront fees to Hamid and his co-conspirators, believing that in return they would be enrolled in real educational courses and, eventually, receive legitimate degrees.  Instead, after paying the upfront fees, consumers did not receive any legitimate instruction and were provided fake and worthless diplomas.
    Axact promoted and claimed to have an affiliation with approximately 350 fictitious high schools and universities, which Axact advertised online to consumers as genuine schools. During certain time periods since 2014, Axact received approximately 5,000 phone calls per day from individuals seeking to purchase Axact products or enroll in educational institutions supposedly affiliated with Axact.
    Axact, through Hamid and his co-conspirators, falsely “accredited” purported colleges and other educational institutions by arranging to have diplomas from these phony educational institutions affixed with fake stamps supposedly bearing the seal and signature of the US Secretary of State, as well as various state agencies and federal and state officials.

    PARIS: It has taken only three years for Emmanuel Macron to rise from being an unknown government adviser to be elected France's youngest head of state since Napoleon.
    Elected on Sunday several months before his 40th birthday, the centrist has turned a stale establishment upside down while eschewing the wave of economic and political nationalism that helped Britain to vote for "Brexit" and Donald Trump to be elected US president.
    His election represents a long-awaited generational change in French politics where the same faces have dominated for years.
    He will be the youngest leader in the current Group of Seven (G7) major nations and has elicited comparisons with youthful leaders past and present, from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to British ex-premier Tony Blair and even President John F. Kennedy in the United States.
    Many attribute Macron's stunning rise to a deep yearning for a fresh face, coupled with a rare message of optimism in a country that has long been obsessed with national decline.
    "His campaign has been like group therapy - to convert the French to optimism," said writer Michel Houellebecq.
    The unexpected collapse of many mainstream opponents certainly played a part, but Macron had the tactical nous to seize his chance.
    He seemed destined for a steady climb up the ranks of the French establishment when he decided to apply his skills as a deal-making investment banker to the world of politics.
    But since striking out on his own in August 2016 after only two years as a minister, he has tapped into widespread disenchantment to broadcast a strong anti-establishment message.
    Despite having attended France's most prestigious schools, making a killing by brokering a $10 billion corporate acquisition, and serving in a Socialist government under President Francois Hollande, Macron has vowed to shake up the system that he comes from.
    "France is blocked by the self-serving tendencies of its elite," he told supporters at a rally in the southern town of Pau. "And I'll tell you a little secret," he added, lowering his voice: "I know it, I was part of it."
    "ALWAYS DOING SO MANY THINGS"
    Born in Amiens, in the northern rustbelt, to a family of doctors, he describes in his campaign book "Revolution" an idyllic childhood spent "in books, a little removed from the world".
    There, at age 15, he met his future wife Brigitte, who was his drama teacher - 24 years his senior and married with children. Their unusual relationship has fueled intense coverage by the glossy boulevard magazines.

    Macron with wife Brigitte
    After school, he moved to Paris and attended the Sciences-Po and the Ecole Nationale d'Administration (ENA) academies, the traditional training ground of the French elite. In parallel, he worked as a research assistant to the philosopher Paul Ricoeur.
    "He was always doing so many things at the same time," his Sciences-Po classmate Marc Ferracci told Reuters.
    After finishing near the top of his class, he joined the civil service, before a four-year stint working in mergers and acquisitions for the investment bank Rothschild.
    Helping to broker Nestle's acquisition of Pfizer's baby food division earned him a small fortune.
    After Rothschild, he joined Hollande's staff in the Elysee in 2012 and it was not long before he became economy minister.
    "He always wanted to be in politics, be elected. He talked about it all the time," said his ENA classmate Gaspard Gantzer, now Hollande's spin doctor.
    In government, Macron set about attacking some of the sacred cows of the French "social model" such as the 35-hour working week, iron-clad job protection, and the civil service's culture of jobs-for-life.
    These are messages that have earned him surprising popularity for an ex-banker in a country where many disdain the world of high finance - but also the contempt of many on the traditional left, as well as the nationalist right.
    "You are already hated before you have even set foot in the Elysee," left-wing film director Francois Ruffin wrote in an open letter to Macron published last week.
    "UBER OF FRENCH POLITICS"
    Macron, who sleeps little and can often be seen online on the Telegram messaging service at 2 a.m., says his ambition is to bridge the left-right divide that has long dominated French politics.
    Yet when he quit the government last August to build up the political movement he had founded only four months earlier, many saw him as a shooting star - at best.
    "He won't last five minutes with the bad guys in the campaign," one of his predecessors at the finance and economy ministry scoffed privately last November.

    But with the ruling Socialists in disarray and the center-right's candidate, Francois Fillon, mired in a financial scandal, Macron emerged in pole position.
    "He did to French politics what Uber did to taxis," said Laurent Bigorgne, a friend of Macron's and head of the Institut Montaigne think-tank.
    "It was clear from the start that Uber would make taxis obsolete; only the taxis didn't see it coming."
    Macron has continued to confound opponents and pundits by building up huge grassroots support and winning endorsements from defecting center-left and center-right politicians.
    Far-right National Front candidate Marine Le Pen, whom he defeated after an acrimonious runoff campaign, scornfully dubbed him a "smirking banker" in a rancorous TV debate, painting him as the candidate of "globalization and Uberisation gone wild".
    In a final put-down, when Le Pen attempted to interrupt his summing-up, Macron told her: "You stay on TV. I want to be president of the country."

    Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan's marriage with Jemima Khan ended over a decade ago, longer than the marriage lasted, but seeing an exchange shared by the former Mrs Khan shows the two are still good friends. 
    The two still share a bond that many married couples would envy. Over the weekend Jemima shared a screenshot of her exchange with Imran over Whatsapp regarding their younger son Kasim.  #BoredonaSaturdaynight on Instagram.
    The post on Instagram with the hashtag #BoredonaSaturdaynight, showed Jemima sending faceapped photos of Kasim as a girl. 
    Jemima captioned the picture “unfun” most likely because Imran Khan’s response was not how she expected the conversation to go.

    ISLAMABAD: Chief Election Commissioner Sardar Muhammad Raza Khan in a hearing on Monday ruled the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has the jurisdiction to continue with the PTI-foreign funding case and rejected the party’s petition challenging its authority.
    ECP has, therefore, adjourned the hearing – that includes the matter of contempt of court as well – till May 17, adding that this is Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) last chance.
    Talking to media afterwards, former PTI spokesman Akbar S Babar said the party could not present any evidence pertaining to foreign funding. He added that chairman Imran Khan should present himself for accountability.
    Babar went on to say that Naeemul Haq’s statements are baseless. “He was kicked out from the United Nations (UN) and is now being fed by PML-N,” he stated.
    On the other hand, Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) member Daniyal Aziz in his media address today says PTI introduced foreign funding in the politic scene. He explained how the party has been receiving foreign aid since Zardari administration in order to overthrow the then-government.
    “PTI has no money trail of the funding,” he said.
    “Anarchy in Pakistan is the aim of foreign funding,” Aziz commented, before adding that Khan failed to reveal any details related to party funding or money trail in the elections.
    The PML-N leader explained how the nation’s constitution states any political party associated with foreign funding will lose its political standing. “This [foreign funding] was carried out via not one, but two companies,” he said.
    Referring to how PTI’s lawyer has once again asked for additional time today, Aziz commented, “Imran Khan, your money trail is absent,” and that there’s some ulterior motive behind this.
    “PTI,” Aziz continued, “has admitted to receiving funding from people with dual nationalities.”
    Towards the end, Aziz attempted to debase the chant originated by Khan’s party: Go Nawaz Go. “This [slogan] comprises the words 'G' and 'O', which translate to ‘long live Nawaz, long live’,” he said. The leader reasoned how 'G' and 'O', when combined together, rhyme with the Urdu word ‘geo’, which means ‘may you live long’.

    Title defenders India finally named their 15-member squad for next month's Champions Trophy in England and Wales after initially delaying the announcement amid a revenue sharing disagreement with the International Cricket Council (ICC).
    Unhappy with the new revenue model, which considerably slashes their share from global events in the 2015-23 cycle, India failed to submit a squad by an April 25 deadline, triggering panic among advertisers.
    Several members of the Indian cricket board (BCCI) were in favour of pulling out of the tournament but court-appointed administrators, who are currently supervising BCCI operations, were against such drastic moves.
    The top eight sides in the world rankings compete in the Champions Trophy with India winning the last edition in 2013.
    India, who begin their Group B campaign against arch-rivals Pakistan at Birmingham on June 4, named the following squad on Monday.
    Squad:
    Virat Kohli (captain), Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane, MS Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh, Kedar Jadhav, Hardik Pandya, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammad Shami, Umesh Yadav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah, Manish Pandey

    A lady has the Internet cheering for her when she hit right back at a pervert who harassed her.
    As revealed by Chinese media outlet People’s Daily via a CCTV footage, a man on Friday stepped onto an escalator at a subway station in Nanning, south China, carrying a trolley bag, right behind an unnamed woman who was probably busy on her phone.
    Midway through, however, he looked left and right and proceeded to touch her posterior, upon which the girl immediately turned around and slapped him right across the face.
    “I felt someone suddenly grab my [back] on the elevator. I turned around and slapped him on face,” she said, adding that she was furious with him. “I […] asked him, ‘Are you crazy?’”
    The lady then yanked her harasser by his shirt and dragged him off to the security authorities.
    “The woman stood in front of me and I just touched her [back]. She said that is sexual harassment and called the police,” explained the man.
    The video clip immediately garnered widespread attention on Weibo – a Chinese version of Facebook of sorts – and many commented that “she could have hit him a little harder”, Shanghaiist reported.
    Watch the video here and see the woman’s commendable response!

    The latest milestone for Dangal – Aamir Khan’s latest, super-hit flick – comes from none other than China, a country with which India’s strategic relations are not quite well at present.
     
     
    The biographical drama film debuted in China on May 5, at the second position just behind Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and churned in a total of $11.30 million (or INR 728.80 million) over the weekend.
    Dangal approximately played “some 30,000 screenings per day and achieved a per screen average very similar to Guardians”, Variety reported.
     
     
    Its success seems to stem from various factors, including a delay in the release – it hit global screens back in December 2016 – and Mr Perfectionist’s appearance at the Beijing film festival. Notably, Dangal now stands at INR 8.24 billion in overall revenue – inclusive of international box-office figures – and beat PK, which is currently at INR 7.92 billion.
    However, Wanda – a Chinese cinema operating company – does not have warm feelings towards the sports drama flick. "Wanda believes Dangal will hurt the interests of the local movies. Wanda cinemas have a near monopoly in the smaller cities and towns of China. Wanda says it will cut down Dangal screenings to less than 50 in the interior China," Khaleej Times mentioned.
    “It's a game changer in the long run,” movie analyst Ramesh Bela told Forbes, adding that India “will see lot of Indian movies trying to reach far and wide in the next few years”.
     
     
    Having bagged so many positives already, the movie has managed to enter the INR 8-billion club of crazily successful movies.
    Let’s see what the Ghajini star comes up with this year.

    WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump congratulated Emmanuel Macron on his victory in France´s presidential election on Sunday.
    Trump had backed neither Macron nor his far-right rival Marine Le Pen ahead of the vote´s second round.
    "Congratulations to Emmanuel Macron on his big win today as the next President of France," he tweeted. "I look very much forward to working with him!"
    However, Trump had earlier hinted that Le Pen should benefit from security fears in France.
    Before the first round of the election last month, he said a deadly attack against a police officer in Paris would have a "big effect" on the vote and he praised Le Pen on immigration, calling her "the strongest on what´s been going on in France."
    The White House on Sunday also issued a formal statement congratulating "Macron and the people of France on their successful presidential election."
    "We look forward to working with the new president and continuing our close cooperation with the French government," White House spokesman Sean Spicer said in the statement.
    The prospect of a Le Pen victory had prompted serious concerns about a global right-wing, nationalist resurgence that brought Trump to power and saw Britain vote to leave the European Union last year.
    Trump´s predecessor Barack Obama released a video statement last week backing Macron, a centrist who he said "appeals to people´s hopes and not their fears."
    Others weighed in on Macron´s victory on Sunday as well.
    "Congratulations to Emmanuel Macron," the Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan tweeted. "We look forward to working with him to build on the strong relationship between the US and France.
    Hillary Clinton, who lost last year´s election to Trump, tweeted, "Victory for Macron, for France, the EU, & the world."
    "Defeat to those interfering w/democracy. (But the media says I can´t talk about that)," she added, alluding to criticism of her view that Russian meddling in the election helped Trump win.
    Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders -- who challenged Clinton´s wife Hillary for the Democratic nomination last year -- tweeted "Congratulations to the people of France who today, by an overwhelming vote, rejected racism and xenophobia."

    The head of Daesh in Afghanistan, Abdul Hasib, was killed in an operation on April 27 conducted jointly by Afghan and US Special Forces in the eastern province of Nangarhar, US and Afghan officials said on Sunday.
    Hasib, appointed last year after his predecessor Hafiz Saeed Khan died in a US drone strike, is believed to have ordered a series of high-profile attacks including one in March 8 on the main military hospital in Kabul, a statement said.
    Last month, a Pentagon spokesman said Hasib had probably been killed during the raid by US and Afghan special forces in Nangarhar during which two US army Rangers were killed, but prior to Sunday's announcement there had been no confirmation.
    "This successful joint operation is another important step in our relentless campaign to defeat Daesh-K in 2017," the top US commander in Afghanistan, Gen. John Nicholson said in a statement from US military headquarters in Kabul.

    The statement, following an earlier announcement by Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, said Hasib directed the March 8 attack on the main Kabul military hospital by a group of militants disguised as doctors. Dozens of medical staff and patients were killed in the attack.
    It said he also ordered fighters to behead local elders in front of their families and kidnap women and girls to force them to marry Daesh fighters.
    The local affiliate of Daesh, sometimes known as Daesh Khorasan (Daesh-K), after an old name for the region that includes Afghanistan, has been active since 2015, fighting both the Taliban as well as Afghan and US forces.
    It is believed to maintain links with the main Daesh movement in Iraq and Syria but has considerable operational independence.

    US and Afghan special forces, backed by drone strikes and other air support, have waged a series of operations against Daesh-K since March, killing dozens of their fighters, mainly in Nangarhar, on the border with Pakistan.
    Defeating the group remains one of the top US priorities in Afghanistan and last month the United States dropped its largest non-nuclear device on a network of caves and tunnels used by Daesh in Nangarhar, killing 94 fighters, including four commanders.
    The US military statement said 35 Daesh fighters and several high-ranking commanders were killed in the April 27 raid.
    Hundreds of fighters had been killed or captured this year and the offensive was continuing, with over half the districts controlled by Daesh-K retaken, allowing residents in some places to return for the first time in two years.

    PARIS: When they first met, he was 15, she was a married 40-year old teacher coaching him in a school play. Set to enter the Elysee presidential palace as First Lady, Brigitte Macron will keep coaching her husband, but on a bigger stage now.
    Newly-elected French President Emmanuel Macron's wife, now 64, has been constantly by his side during his campaign, managing his agenda, editing his speeches and advising him on his stage presence.
    For his victory speech after winning the first round of the election two weeks ago, Macron brought his wife onto the podium and thanked her, to long applause.
    "Brigitte, always present, and even more now, without whom I would not be me," an emotional Macron said as hundreds of his supporters shouted her name.
    Both complete unknowns when Macron was appointed economy minister in Socialist President Francois Hollande's government in August 2014, Brigitte Macron, born Trogneux, resigned from her teaching job a year later to help her ambitious young husband.
    At the economy ministry, she was a discreet presence during meetings with officials in the modernist Bercy building by the Seine in eastern Paris.
    "She spends a lot of time here because her view matters to me, because she brings a different atmosphere, that is important. My life is here, you cannot work well if you are not happy," Macron said in his last staff meeting after he resigned from the Hollande government in August 2016.
    He would not declare his presidential bid until three months later, on Nov. 16, 2016, but by then he had already started making the relationship with Trogneux - nearly 25 years his senior - an integral part of his public persona.
    In the months leading up to his official candidacy, the French public discovered Trogneux in a series of cover stories in the popular society magazine Paris Match, including, in August 2016, one of the couple on the beach, the petite blonde looking svelte and tanned in a one-piece bathing suit.
    "Lovers' holiday before the offensive," read the headline.
    In a November 2016 TV documentary on France 3, just days after Macron declared his bid, the couple shared video footage of the youthful Macron in the school play at which they met, and footage of their 2007 wedding ceremony.
    "Thanks for accepting us, a not quite normal couple," Macron is heard saying in a video of the ceremony, attended by Trogneux' then adult children. He was nearly 30, she 54.
    French cartoonists and satirical radio and TV programs regularly mock the couple's age difference, portraying Macron as a schoolboy taking instructions from his teacher.
    Macron supporters say these jokes are misogynist, saying that nobody would bat an eyelid if the age difference - the same as between U.S. President Donald Trump and his wife Melania - had been the other way around.
    Trogneux, takes the mockery in her stride and has joked that if he wanted to run for president, he better do it soon, while she still looked presentable.
    "He needs to go for it in 2017 because by 2022, his problem will be my face," she was quoted as telling a friend in Nico­las Pris­sette's book "Emma­nuel Macron en marche vers l’Élysée"
    Born Brigitte Trogneux April 13, 1953, the youngest of six children in a family of wealthy chocolate makers in the northern town of Amiens, she married a banker with whom she had three children.
    In 1993, in the Providence Jesuit college where she taught French and drama, the young Macron acted in a play under her supervision. The next year, the two rewrote a play together, adapting it to include more roles.
    "Little by little, I came totally under the spell of the intelligence of this young boy," Trogneux told France 3 TV.
    As rumors started to fly about the relationship, Macron left Amiens to complete his last year of high school at the prestigious Lycee Henri IV in Paris, a traditional breeding ground for the French elite.
    "You cannot get rid of me. I will come back and I will marry you," Macron told Trogneux according to his biographers.
    Asked about what role Trogneux would play at the Elysee if he were elected, Macron has said that he will propose that within the first weeks of his presidency a formal, albeit unremunerated, role is established for the French First Lady and that she will have her say in how that role is defined.
    "She will have an existence, she will have a voice there, a view on things. She will be at my side, as she has always been, but she will also have a public role," he said.

    China will begin construction of a permanent manned space station in 2019 after carrying out a successful in-orbit refuelling from its Tianzhou-1 cargo spacecraft, officials leading the project said on Friday.
    The Tianzhou-1, China's first cargo spacecraft, launched on April 20 and completed the first of three planned docking attempts with the orbiting Tiangong-2 spacelab two days later, state media reported.
    The successful five-day refuelling, directed from technicians on Earth and completed on Thursday, is a key milestone towards China's plans to begin sending crews to a permanent space station by 2022.
    "This again announces the ambition and aspiration of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese people, and our resolute confidence in becoming a major space power," the space station project's supervisor Wang Zhaoyao told a news briefing in Beijing.
    "After completing experimental stage spaceflight missions, we will enter the development and construction phase. According to our plans we will carry out the assembly and construction of China's manned space station between 2019 and 2022."
    President Xi Jinping has prioritised advancing China's space programme to strengthen national security. The Central Military Commission, chaired by Xi, sent a letter congratulating staff of the Tianzhou-1 mission for "realising our unremitting space dream", according to the official Xinhua news agency.
    The US Defense Department has highlighted China's increasing space capabilities, saying it was pursuing activities aimed at preventing other nations from using space-based assets in a crisis.
    China insists it has only peaceful ambitions in space, but has tested anti-satellite missiles.

    LONDON: Britain's super-rich "kept calm and carried on making billions" despite worries about Brexit, according to The Sunday Times newspaper's Rich List for 2017, with more billionaires living in the country than ever before.
    In the past 12 months, the total wealth of Britain's richest 1,000 individuals and families surged 14 percent to £658 billion ($854 billion, 777 billion euros), the paper said.
    It said that there are now more UK-based billionaires than ever before, at 134.
    Industrialist brothers Sri and Gopi Hinduja topped the list with a combined wealth of £16.2 billion, up £3.2 billion over the previous year.
    "While many of us worried about the outcome of the EU referendum, many of Britain's richest people just kept calm and carried on making billions," said the list compiler, Robert Watts.
    "We expected to see a chilling effect in the run-up to the EU referendum, but that simply did not materialise."
    Britain voted in June 2016 to leave the EU after more than four decades of membership in a referendum that sent shockwaves across Europe.
    Despite gloomy forecasts ahead of the referendum, the UK economy proved resilient in the last six months of 2016 with a weaker pound and record low interest rates helping to boost exports and investor confidence.
    "A buoyant stock market usually drives the wealth of Rich Listers higher, and since last June equities have soared," Watts said.
    London remains the city with the most billionaires at 86, up nine over the previous year.
    Adele joins list
    Overall, 19 people increased their wealth by £1 billion or more in a year.
    Publicity-shy brothers David and Simon Reuben, who topped the year last year, fell down two places despite adding £900 million to their £14 billion fortune.
    Among the 58 newcomers -- a minimum of £110 million is now required to make the list compared to just £15 million in 1997 -- are famous names including chart topper Adele.
    The singer, who released her third studio album "25" and went on a world tour in 2016, is now worth £125 million, making her the sixth richest person under 30.
    Football player Zlatan Ibrahimovic and "Fifty Shades of Grey" author EL James also made the cut for the first time.
    Other well-known names include Paul McCartney (£780 million), Elton John (£290 million), Lewis Hamilton (£131 million), and David and Victoria Beckham who have a combined wealth of £300 million.
    "Harry Potter" creator J.K. Rowling continued to work her magic, adding £50 million to bring her estimated fortune to £650 million.
    Queen Elizabeth II, who turned 91 in April, slipped 10 places to become the 329th richest person in her kingdom, with a wealth of £360 million.
    The list does not count the totality of the income and assets from the Crown Estate -- the collection of lands and holdings belonging to the monarch but controlled by an independent board -- whose property portfolio alone is now worth £12 billion.
    Her fortune is therefore easily dwarfed by the Duke of Westminster's.
    At just 26 the Duke, one of Prince George's godfathers once dubbed "the world's most eligible bachelor is at the head of a £9.5 billion empire.
