‘I thought she was smarter’: Purav Jha on Elnaaz Norouzi | Exclusive

Purav Jha might not have won The Traitors, but he definitely won hearts with his gameplay and ‘acting’, something that everyone has been praising him for. Despite being the traitor since day one, he managed to put up a show and convince everyone otherwise by playing the underdog. When mid-day got a chance to sit with him for a brief chat, he explained his entire strategy in one simple sentence: “Action as soon as you get up and cut just before going to sleep.” He also spilt the beans on what went on inside the secret tower when the traitors met and more. Here’s an excerpt from the interview. Purav Jha exposes Elnaaz Norouzi’s claims When asked about eliminating his fellow traitor, Elnaaz Norouzi, Purav admits feeling genuinely sorry at first for taking her name in the circle of shaq.

Study decodes how cancer treatments may trigger serious side-effects

While cancer has seen some significant advancements in treatments that have shown promise and increased lifespan, these may also cause serious side effects, which can affect quality of life. A new study by researchers from Australia is shedding new light on the reasons behind these side effects, Xinhua news agency reported. The team from Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research (WEHI) in Melbourne discovered that the protein MCL-1 -- a key target in cancer drug development -- plays not only a role in preventing cell death in cancer cells but also supplying energy to normal cells. As a result, drugs that inhibit MCL-1 can inadvertently damage healthy tissues that rely on this protein for energy, especially in organs with high energy demand like the heart and liver, leading to ...

Canada following ‘very closely’ as Trump vows copper, pharma tariffs: Joly – National

Descrease article font size Increase article font size The Canadian government hasn’t yet seen an executive order on the tariffs U.S. President Donald Trump vowed against copper and pharmaceutical imports, Industry Minister Melanie Joly says. But Canadian officials in Washington, D.C., and Ottawa are following the vows “very closely,” she said, staying tight-lipped on any details of ongoing trade talks.“Every single journalist in the country wants to have more information about the negotiations, and my answer is always the same. We will let the prime minister do the negotiation, supported of course by our negotiator-in-chief back in Washington, Kirsten Holman, and we will not negotiate in public.” Get breaking Na...

Mumbai hospital gives new lease of life to a child with rare condition

A Mumbai hospital has successfully performed a rare and intricate heart surgery on an 18-month-old child diagnosed with a large ventricular septal defect (VSD) along with an exceptionally uncommon coronary artery anomaly. The child was brought to Dr Supratim Sen, senior consultant paediatric cardiologist at Narayana Health SRCC Children`s Hospital, Mumbai - OPD, with symptoms including poor weight gain, frequent respiratory infections, and delayed developmental milestones. A detailed cardiac evaluation revealed not only a significant VSD—an abnormal opening in the heart’s ventricular septum—but also raised suspicions of a rare condition involving the coronary arteries. Normally, the coronary arteries originate from the aorta and supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart. In this case, howeve...

Half of provinces won’t hit 2026 $10-a-day child care target, report says – National

Ottawa is expected to miss its 2026 deadline to implement $10-a-day child care services across the country, the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives said in a new report published on Wednesday. The analysis concluded that just six provinces and territories are meeting that fee target now.David Macdonald, an economist with the centre, said even though fees have dropped significantly everywhere, the federal government is unlikely to meet its self-imposed deadline.“It’s almost certain that even after the 2026 deadline passes, many parents in five provinces will be paying more than $10 a day for child care,” Macdonald said.“That being said, the fee drops for parents so far have been staggering in Ontario, Alberta and Nunavut, as these jurisdictions had let fees get far too high before the f...

Finland Digital Care Moves First

Bureaucracy vs Biology: The Two Speeds of European Healthcare Finland is demonstrating a different approach to modern healthcare—one that prioritizes accessibility, respect, and efficiency. In contrast to the often complex and delayed systems in many parts of Europe, Finnish providers are enabling patients to access treatment for sensitive issues like erectile dysfunction and obesity through secure, digital means.
