Vice President Kamala Harris is set to release her medical records on Saturday, aiming to turn the spotlight on former President Donald Trump's health and age. Trump, 78, has kept his medical records private, while Harris, 59, wants to show her physical and mental resilience. The move is a stark contrast to how Trump's campaign targeted President Biden's age during the 2020 election. Harris' campaign has been using social media to highlight Trump's age, pointing out moments where he slurs his words or meanders.

Manmohan Singh, India's former prime minister, passed away at the age of 92. Widely regarded as the architect of India's economic reform program and a landmark nuclear deal with the United States, Singh was a mild-mannered technocrat who became one of India's longest-serving prime ministers for 10 years. He was chosen to fill the role by Sonia Gandhi, the widow of assassinated Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.

After relinquishing the post of prime minister, Singh adopted a low profile.

Despite their political differences, Farage believes he could be a useful asset for fostering good US-UK relations. He is particularly willing to assist with talks on trade, tariffs, intelligence-sharing, and countering terrorism, as many members of the president's cabinet are his friends.

Mandelson has been warned that he will need a thick skin to weather regular attacks from Trump's allies, but with his experience in the hard world of diplomacy, he is expected to succeed as ambassador to Washington.

After Biden commuted most federal death row sentences, Trump has vowed to "vigorously pursue" capital punishment for violent criminals. Biden's decision to change 37 of the 40 condemned people's sentences to life in prison without parole was criticized by Trump as senseless and insulting to the families of the victims. Trump highlighted two cases of men who were on federal death row for slaying a woman and a girl, and promised to direct the Justice Department to pursue the death penalty after his inauguration. Most Americans have historically supported the death penalty for people convicted of murder, but support has declined over the past few decades.
