By Staff The Canadian Press Posted October 21, 2025 3:34 pm 1 min read Descrease article font size Increase article font size The lawyer for a Quebec Liberal MP who won her riding in the April federal election by a single vote says it would be unreasonable to cancel the result over one uncounted ballot. Tatiana Auguste’s lawyer told a hearing in St-Jérôme, Que. that ordering a new election would effectively deny the right to vote to the more than 60,000 people who cast ballots in the Terrebonne riding.

Senate Republicans head to the White House in a show of unity as the shutdown enters its fourth week – National

WASHINGTON (AP) — As the government shutdown enters its fourth week, Senate Republicans are headed to the White House on Tuesday — not for urgent talks on how to end it but for a display of unity with President Donald Trump as they refuse to negotiate on any Democratic demands. Senate Democrats, too, are confident in their strategy to keep voting against a House-passed bill that would reopen the government until Republicans, including Trump, engage them on extending health care subsidies that expire at the end of the year.With both sides showing no signs of movement, it’s unclear how long the stalemate will last — even as hundreds of thousands of federal workers will miss another paycheck in the coming days and states are sounding warnings that key federal programs will soon lapse complete...

US researchers develop new antibody that shows promise against malaria infection

A novel monoclonal antibody, developed by US researchers, has shown promise against malaria infection in an early clinical trial.  Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine`s Center for Vaccine Development and Global Health (CVD) found that the antibody -- MAM01 -- provided dose-dependent full protection against the malaria parasite with minimal side effects. "This new monoclonal antibody could transform how we prevent malaria in young children and pregnant women," said lead author Kirsten E. Lyke, Professor of Medicine at the varsity’s School of Medicine. "Unlike vaccines that may require multiple doses or boosters, a single injection of a long-acting antibody could provide immediate, months-long protection. It`s a fundamentally different way to stop infection before...

Mohit Malik opens up about his role in Mirzapur The film

He is a rare find. Why? Because Mohit Malik is one of those actors who knows only one way to perform — by immersing himself completely in his characters, often blurring the lines between reel and real. We’ve seen it in Doli Armaanon Ki (2013) and Kullfi Kumarr Bajewala (2018), among others. Now, playing Lord Shiva — father to Ganesh and Kartikey — Malik reveals that it was a role he had once manifested but initially refused when the offer came his way. “It was destiny,” he says. It was also destiny that led him to Mirzapur: The Film, where he plays a pivotal role among actors “so secure in their craft”. In conversation with mid-day, Malik talks about his hesitation before taking up Gatha Shiv Parivaar Ki – Ganesh Kartikey, his move towards films, and working on the set of Mirzapur: The Fil...
