Sri Lanka allows entry for controversial Chinese ship

August 13, 2022 by admin Leave a Comment

Sri Lanka’s government granted permission on Saturday for a controversial Chinese research vessel to visit the island despite neighbouring India’s concerns that it could spy on New Delhi’s military installations, officials said.

The Yuan Wang 5 is described as a research and survey vessel by international shipping and analytics sites, but according to Indian media it is a dual-use spy ship.

New Delhi is suspicious of Beijing’s increasing presence in the Indian Ocean and influence in Sri Lanka, seeing both as being firmly within its sphere of influence.

The Yuan Wang 5 was originally due to call at Sri Lanka’s Chinese-run Hambantota port on 11 August, only for Colombo to ask Beijing to indefinitely defer the visit following India’s objections.

But Sri Lanka’s harbour master, Nirmal P Silva, said he had received foreign ministry clearance for the ship to call at Hambantota from 16 to 22 August.

“The diplomatic clearance was received by me today. We will work with the local agent appointed by the vessel to ensure logistics at the port,” Silva told AFP.

Foreign ministry sources confirmed that Colombo had renewed permission for the visit, which had initially been granted on 12 July, a day before former president Gotabaya Rajapaksa fled following months of protests over the country’s worst-ever economic crisis.

Rajapaksa — whose brother Mahinda borrowed heavily from China while president from 2005 to 2015 — resigned after escaping to Singapore.

Tens of thousands of protesters overran his palace and home in Colombo after accusing him of mismanagement in an economic crisis that has led to acute shortages of food, fuel and medicines.

Port officials said the Chinese vessel was about 1,000 kilometres (620 miles) south-east of Sri Lanka on Friday night and was heading slowly towards the Hambantota deep sea port.

Sri Lanka leased the port to China for 99 years for $1.12 billion, less than the $1.4 billion Sri Lanka paid a Chinese company to build it.

According to Indian reports, the Yuan Wang 5 could be employed for space and satellite tracking, and has specific uses in intercontinental ballistic missile launches.

The Indian government has expressed concern that the ship could spy on its activities, and had lodged a complaint with Colombo.

New Delhi’s foreign ministry has said it will closely monitor “any bearing on India’s security and economic interests and takes all necessary measures to safeguard them”.

Adele says she wants ‘a couple more kids’

July 6, 2022 by admin Leave a Comment

  • Adele hopes her future holds more babies.
  • The singer shares 9-year-old son Angelo with ex-husband Simon Konecki.
  • She is currently dating Rich Paul, who hasn’t ruled out more kids in the future either.

Adele hopes her future holds more babies.

The Someone Like You singer – who shares 9-year-old son Angelo with ex-husband Simon Konecki – revealed she hopes to expand her family one day.

While on the latest instalment of BBC’s Desert Island Discs, the Grammy winner told host Lauren Laverne, “I definitely would like a couple more kids. It would be wonderful. If not, I’ve got Angelo.”

Of her co-parenting relationship with Konecki, Adele said, “Over my dead body is my kid having a messy divorce in his life.”

“It was never really tricky because we’re such good friends,” she explained. “There are no issues, and there were no issues, so I guess it was easier to make sure that didn’t happen, but I was blessed with them, and him, he’s just the best, you know. And I definitely approached it all with grace, and that really paid off.”

The Easy On Me singer is currently dating American sports agent Rich Paul. The couple recently celebrated their first anniversary and have reportedly moved in together.

Paul recently opened up to E! News about being a father to his three children and the prospects of having more in the future.

“As a young dad, growing a business, it was pretty tough,” he told the publication. “If I was to have more kids, I’m looking forward to being a different dad, a more patient dad.”

Some of the most iconic battles included Ashanti vs Keyshia Cole, Teddy Riley vs Babyface, Erykah Badu vs Jill Scott, Brandy vs Monica, Chaka Khan vs Stephanie Mills, Patti LaBelle vs Gladys Knight, SWV vs XSCAPE, the late DMX vs Snoop Dogg, Gucci Mane vs Jeezy, Bow Wow vs Soulja Boy, just to name a few.

Alan Titchmarsh, Hugs, air kisses and selfies on board a celebrity bus

June 5, 2022 by admin Leave a Comment

Alan Titchmarsh, the celebrity gardener, veteran broadcaster and now officially a national treasure, summed it up perfectly.

“It’s all a bit surreal,” he said.

I could see why. We were sitting in an open top double decker – one of seven buses that where taking part in the Platinum Jubilee Pageant. Each bus represented a decade during the Queen’s reign, from the 50s through to the noughties.

We were on the 60s bus and the seats on the top deck were occupied by some of the best-known and most loved British celebrities.

At the front of the bus I saw Valerie Singleton – former presenter of the iconic children’s programme Blue Peter – taking a selfie with Basil Brush.

On the 50s bus parked next to us, pop legend Sir Cliff Richard was miming along to one of his hits, blaring out from a loudspeaker. Standing next to him was the former boxer, Chris Eubank. And not far from them both, dancer Wayne Sleep blew kisses at the stars on my vehicle.

Best moments from the Jubilee weekend

That is what Alan Titchmarsh meant by “surreal”.

It seemed that anyone who has ever been anyone on stage, screen, in a stadium or a recording studio was there.

TV presenter Chris Tarrant, on the 70s bus just behind us, winked at me and asked if I was OK.

Would he take “yes” as my final answer or could I phone a friend?

Celebrities really like other celebrities, it seems. They can’t possibly all know each other. But that is exactly how they were greeting one another. Lots of hugs, air kisses and selfies. LOTS of selfies.

Many of my Sky colleagues would be able to name most if not all of the stars on the buses, but this was a real test of my A, B, and C-list knowledge.

It was not a problem for the adoring crowds lining the streets below, however.

As the celebrities let their hair and their guards down the cheering throng went into a frenzy.

It is not every day that you see the actor Rudolph Walker and broadcasters Kate Garraway and Anthea Turner dancing like nobody was watching. But they were.

The veteran broadcaster and DJ Tony Blackburn could not stop smiling. I asked him who would be on a playlist for the Queen. “Diana Ross and lots of Motown,” he said without hesitating.

The concert at the gates of the palace on Saturday night brought together some of the biggest names in the world of music. I heard a commentator say that only the Queen could have drawn them to the same place at the same time.

The same is true of the People’s Pageant. The former decathlete Daley Thompson next to singer Tony Hadley? Pure gold.

And each one of these celebrities enjoying every second, too.

They knew this was a once in a lifetime opportunity to enjoy a celebration like no other – almost all of them describing themselves as “privileged” to be able to ride on these buses on this very special day.

It was a random, eclectic, crazy mix. Eccentric in a uniquely British way. An experience nobody will forget.

Shakira and Longtime Partner Gerard Pique Split After 12 Years Together

June 5, 2022 by admin Leave a Comment

Shakira and her longtime partner, Gerard Piqué, have split after 12 years together.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Shakira Celebrity Splits of 2022: Stars Who Broke Up This Year

“We regret to confirm that we are separating,” Shakira, 45, and Piqué, 35, wrote in a joint statement to Reuters on Saturday, June 4. “For the wellbeing of our children, who are our highest priority, we ask that you respect their privacy.”

The twosome, who began dating in 2011, made headlines earlier this month after reports surfaced that Shakira caught the professional athlete having an affair. They did not address the claims at the time.

Before calling it quits, the Dancing With Myself judge and Piqué welcomed sons Milan, now 9, and Sasha, now 7. Though they were together for over a decade, the pair never tied the knot.

“[Gerard is] with me because he wants to be with Shakira the person, not the celebrity,” Shakira told Latina magazine in 2014. “There’s real love, there’s no ulterior motives. And I’m with him because he’s the most amazing man I’ve ever met. We want the same things, we like the same things, we hate the same things. I have never been with someone so passionate in my life.”

Shakira’s Family Album: See the Singer’s Sweetest Pics With Her and Gerard Pique’s 2 Kids

The former Voice coach added: “If it weren’t because of my music projects, I would be pregnant already [with a second child] I would love to have eight or nine kids with Gerard — my own futbol team. … When you have a baby, when you feel his love, you feel so at peace with the world. You just want to share the good news and share how happy you feel.”

Shakira — who dated lawyer Antonio de la Rúa between 2000 and 2010 — and Piqué previously weathered breakup speculation in October 2017, though a source told Us at the time that the rumors were false.

“Anyone around them could see that the split rumors from last year were pure BS,” a second insider told Us in January 2018 after the pair were spotted on a family trip to New York City with their sons. “They literally looked like they were on their honeymoon! They were absolutely inseparable and squeezed in a hug or kiss whenever or wherever they could. It was adorable. The kids are so well-behaved and polite, too.”

While the then-couple kept their relationship relatively private, they couldn’t resist sharing a few cute snaps together via social media.

Celebrity Couples Who Never Got Married

“Holiday vibes.. #nofilter,” the FC Barcelona athlete captioned a July 2021 Instagram post with the “Hips Don’t Lie” songstress during a summer getaway.

Earlier this year, Shakira opened up about how the pair managed disagreements — due in part to their different upbringings.

“My poor husband, slash boyfriend, slash baby daddy, whatever you want to call him, he has to wait up for me so long. He’s tired of waiting up,” the Colombia native jokingly said during a February appearance on the “Planet Weirdo with Holly H” podcast. “[Because] Colombian time is not the same as Catalonian time, Spanish time. His mind is structured like that and mine. … I’ve become a lot more punctual since I met him. [But] the times that we actually fight is because I’m late and he’s waiting up.”
