Keir Starmer: "Boring" Labour Leader Becomes UK's new Prime Minister | Vantage with Palki Sharma
At the age 61, Keir Starmer is the oldest person to become UK's new Prime Minister in almost half a century, but was only elected to parliament nine years ago. The married father-of-two is unlike most modern politicians: he had a long and distinguished career before becoming an MP and his views are rooted in pragmatism rather than ideology. Starmer heralded an era of change, moving the Labour party back to the more electable centre ground and leading it to its win in the elections. Palki Sharma tells you more about UK's new Prime Minister.

After her sweeping victory in France's Presidential elections Marine Le Pen went to meet with Lebanon's Grandi Mufti to discuss French Muslim relations. As a woman he demanded she wear a headscarf/hijab. She refused & canceled the meeting “I will not wear a veil/hijab, you can pass on my message to Grand Mufti.” said Marine Le Pen. The world is going thru a turmoil and lot of patience is required. The Nationalist are emerging everywhere and now putting their foot down against the politics of appeasement
