A scion of India’s Nehru-Gandhi dynasty is due to make her electoral debut, potentially strengthening the opposition’s challenge to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in parliament after he was humbled in a recent election, politicians and analysts said.

That’s where these refurbished iPads come into play since they tend to be significantly cheaper and, most of the time, just have cosmetic issues rather than anything that has to do with the tablet. Not only…

An ambitious overhaul of the Italian constitution to allow for the direct election of a prime minister won the Senate’s approval on Tuesday, the start of what is likely to be an uncertain path to the statute books. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has pushed hard for the change, calling it “the mother of all reforms”, but it faces determined resistance from opposition parties and will almost assuredly need to be put to a referendum. Under the proposal, the prime minister would be elected for five years and the coalition supporting the winning candidate will be given at least 55% of…

US factory output beat expectations and rose sharply in May, according to Federal Reserve data released Tuesday, as utilities production posted a big increase. The data suggest the manufacturing sector staged something of a rebound last month, despite the Fed’s decision to hold interest rates at a 23-year high to tackle inflation, which has taken a toll on the manufacturing sector. The US central bank recently dialed back the number of rate cuts it has penciled in this year from three to one, as progress against inflation stalled in the first quarter. Industrial production rose by 0.9 per cent in…
