Prime Minister Narendra Modi received a grand welcome in Rome as Italian PM Giorgia Meloni greeted him warmly during the final leg of his Europe tour. The viral “Melodi” buzz returned after Modi and Meloni shared iconic moments near the Colosseum, sending social media into a frenzy once again. The high-profile visit is expected to strengthen India-Italy strategic ties with discussions focused on trade, geopolitics, defence cooperation, the IMEC corridor, and India-Europe connectivity initiatives. PM Modi is also scheduled to hold key talks with Italian President Sergio Mattarella and visit the headquarters of the Food and Agriculture Organization.

A political disagreement between Donald Trump and Candace Owens has escalated into a high-profile public confrontation, extending far beyond social media exchanges. The flashpoint came from a strongly worded Truth Social post by Trump, which included a mock cover targeting Owens. Rather than issuing a formal denial, Owens leaned into a tone of disbelief and sarcasm, opening with “What did I miss?” before addressing the claims directly. WATCH
