Raees, manager of Sushant Singh Rajput's Lonavala farmhouse is now alleging that he once saw the actor's friend Samuel Hoakip and Rhea Chakraborty's brother Showik Chakraborty with rolling papers in the house. He said this and more in an interview with Times Now. While adding that SSR's squad never directly asked him to get 'drugs' for them, he was often asked to buy smoking papers. Elaborating further, he narrated an incident where he once walked into the farmhouse and saw Samuel Haokip with some green stuff in a plastic cover on the table and some raw tobacco placed on the table. He also added that there was also a rolling paper along with a glass of drink.

BRUSSELS: European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Wednesday that the bloc must rise above its fragmented approach on dealing with the coronavirus by centralizing more decision-making on health issues.
She also told EU legislators that Italy will host a global health summit next year, during its G20 presidency.
Von der Leyen fully acknowledged the fragile state that the pandemic has left EU in, with the death toll closing in on 150,000 and the economy facing the worst slump in the bloc’s history.
To counter this, von der Leyen said she wants more money poured into research and development and more powers going to EU-wide institutions like the European Medicines Agency.
So for me, it is crystal clear we need to build a stronger European health union. It is time to do that,” she said.
During the early part of the pandemic, EU member states took independent measures, sometimes at the cost of one another, to contain the virus. Borders were closed, creating massive traffic jams and stranding citizens in other EU nations and beyond.
Quickly, she said, the EU forced through measures to ease the burden.
When its closed borders, we created green lines for goods. When more than 600,000 European citizens were stranded all over the world, the EU brought them back home, she said.
In the wake of the 1.8-trillion-euro ($2.1 trillion) recovery fund and long-term budget agreed by EU member states over the summer, there was criticism that not enough of the money was going to health issues.
I had proposed to increase funding. And Im grateful that this parliament is ready to fight for more funding and remedy the cuts made by the European” summit of government leaders.
Italy was the early hotspot in Europe as the virus spread from China, and Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte welcomed the summit, saying: We stand united to protect our health and to build a better future for the next generation .
No precise date was announced.

The Redmi 7 is a fairly good all-rounder that excels in the display and camera departments. Where it falls short, sadly, is in the overall build quality. It’s a great buy nonetheless.
If it rained in New Delhi as often as Xiaomi launched a new smartphone model, the capital city would be a whole lot cooler, don’t you think? Only last month, the Chinese electronics giant launched two new budget models under the Redmi brand name (Redmi Y3 and Redmi 7) with one more to follow (Redmi 7A). A little before that, it launched the Redmi Go, Xiaomi’s cheapest smartphone as of today, with Android Go running the show. While the Redmi Y3 was picked up for a review by my esteemed colleague Subhrojit, the Redmi 7 found its way to me. Having bid goodbye to the rather likeable Nokia 4.2, I picked it up to give it a proper go.
Redmi 7 in Lunar Red
Labelling it “the ultimate all-rounder”, Xiaomi has blessed the Redmi 7 with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 632 chipset, up to 3GB of RAM, and 32GB of internal storage space as standard. The screen measures 6.26 inches diagonally and sports a “dot notch” at the top for the selfie camera. Starting at a price of Rs 7,999 at the time of writing this review, the Redmi 7 comes in three colour options: Eclipse Black, Comet Blue, and Lunar Red. The latter two come with a gradient finish on the back. Read on to see how our Lunar Red review unit fared.
The Redmi 7’s front face gets Corning Gorilla Glass 5 to protect the display against minor scratches, while the back panel gets what appears to be a regular glossy plastic panel (Xiaomi hasn’t disclosed any specifics). A black plastic beading keeps the two panels together and houses all the ports and buttons. According to Xiaomi, the Redmi 7’s body comes with a P2i nano-coating that makes it splash-resistant but not waterproof, so it goes without saying that it does not get an IP rating. What this means for you is that you can call your Ola driver under a light spell of rain but not expose the Redmi 7 to a swimming pool.
Back panel is a fingerprint magnet
Though the review unit appeared to be built fairly well, there was one critical detail that occurred to me the minute I held it up in my hand: the rear panel didn’t fit the plastic frame very well, leaving just a bit of its sharp edge exposed on one side. It wasn’t sharp enough to cut a finger running over it but the poor fit made me wonder if the panel would ever come off in the future or weaken the phone’s structure greatly. In terms of build alone, the Redmi 7 could do better.
Back panel on left edge was too sharp
A fair number of budget smartphones come with a gradient finish on the back panel these days and the Redmi 7 is no different. It gives the phone a bit of much-needed class. Sadly, the glossy front and back panels of the Redmi 7 act as a powerful magnet for fingerprints and smudges. The top side of the phone is home to a 3.5mm audio jack, a secondary microphone, and an IR blaster. The left side houses just the SIM/microSD card tray.

The bottom side reveals a microUSB port (for charging and data transfer) and loudspeaker grilles on either side of the port. Predictably, sound emanates from only one of those two grilles. The right side gets the power button and a volume rocker, both of which are sturdy and tactile. On the back, we see a dual camera setup with a visible camera bump and a fingerprint scanner, which, although positioned way too high up, works well for screen unlocks.
No USB-C here
Buttons feel good to press
The IPS LCD screen on the Redmi 7 measures 6.26 inches diagonally. It has an aspect ratio of 19:9 and a resolution of 1520 x 720 pixels. According to Xiaomi, it has a contrast ratio of 1500:1 and a screen-to-body ratio of nearly 87 percent. The pixel density sits at a decent 269 pixels per inch. According to our test kit, the review unit’s screen brightness went all the way up to 353 LUX, which is the going figure for phones of its segment. In comparison, the recently launched Nokia 4.2's display brightness maxed out at 333 LUX. Colours on the screen appeared vivid but seemed to have a light cool tinge about them. Maximum horizontal viewing angle sat somewhere close to a respectable 170 degrees. Surprisingly, there was almost no indication of light bleed from the LCD panel's backlight. All in all, the Redmi 7's display is well worth its salt.
Sound from the single down-firing loudspeaker is both loud and clear. Songs like The Weeknd’s Starboy played with a surprising amount of clarity across all three frequencies on the review unit. Low frequency sounds too were reproduced in the form of mild artificial thumps. Understandably, none of the low frequency sounds were felt from the tiny driver. In summary, the loudspeaker on the Redmi 7 does the job if you’re with your friends and want to show them a new song you’ve recently discovered. The earpiece, on the other hand, could do with a bit more volume for calls.
The Redmi 7 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 632 chipset. First announced in June last year, the chip has a 14-nanometre octa-core processor, which consists of four Kryo 250 Gold processor cores and four Kryo 250 Silver processor cores, all clocking at 1.8GHz. The budget Xiaomi phone is offered in two variants: one with 2GB of RAM (at Rs 7,999) and another with 3GB of RAM (at Rs 8,999). Our review unit was the latter. Internal storage on both variants is a standard 32GB. External storage in the form of a microSD card goes all the way up to 512GB.
In our benchmark tests, the Redmi 7 review unit fared pretty well. On AnTuTu 7.0, it scored 104809. In comparison, the costlier Nokia 4.2 (with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 439 chipset and 3GB of RAM) scored 62985 in the same test. On Geekbench Single-Core and Multi-Core tests, the Redmi 7 bagged 1240 and 4370 respectively. In comparison, the Nokia 4.2 managed 894 and 3338 in the same two tests respectively.
In everyday use scenarios, the Redmi 7 review unit performed satisfactorily. Launching, minimising, closing, and switching between apps was a trouble-free experience. There was no visible sign of lag or delay while jumping between numerous tabs in Chrome or while multitasking in general. I was able to browse and play videos online even comfortably even where there was some background activity going on, like app installations and game updates. If anything, there was that occasional stutter in animation while minimising and jumping between apps. But these hiccups didn’t necessarily slow the phone down; they only exposed the GPU’s limitation.
The Redmi 7 review unit scored 916 in 3DMark’s Sling Shot GPU benchmark test. In comparison, the Nokia 4.2 scored 821. During our gaming sessions, Asphalt 9 ran at a median frame rate of 29 frames per second on the Redmi 7. PUBG Mobile, on the other hand, ran on forced Low graphics settings at a median frame rate of 26 frames per second. During actual gameplay, some elements in Asphalt 9 (like the car’s spoiler) were slightly pixelated but the animation seemed mostly consistent and stutter-free. The metrics for Asphalt 9 and PUBG Mobile were recorded using GameBench. To sum it up, the Redmi 7 is not for serious gamers but isn't a terrible choice if you're looking to play popular titles like PUBG Mobile on a budget.
The Redmi 7 comes with a dual camera setup on the back and a single selfie shooter in the front. The rear cameras consist of a 12-megapixel 1.25μm primary sensor with an aperture of f/2.2 and a 2-megapixel depth sensor for portrait shots. They’re accompanied by a single LED flash. The selfie shooter is an 8-megapixel 1.12μm sensor with an aperture of f/2.0. According to Xiaomi, the shooters on the back feature “AI” for scene detection, portrait mode, and a function called Beautify 4.0.
Photos taken through the Redmi 7’s primary rear camera in daylight appear to be rich in colour even if the colours are a tad bit on the warmer side. Photos taken through Portrait mode in daylight are rendered quite well without any glaring errors in blurring the foreground subject. Selfies come out bright in daylight but suffer from a fair amount of noise when taken indoors. The camera app is eager to “beautify” faces but the beauty level can be turned down or even switched off altogether. Lowlight photos shot through the primary camera are bright but appear distorted around sources of light. Lowlight selfies, on the other hand, suffer from a good amount of noise.
The default camera app is both easy to use and quick to react. Unlike the Nokia 4.2, whose default camera app is unbearably slow and ungainly, the Redmi 7 doesn’t suffer from unexpected stalls and hiccups while running the camera app. It even has options to take square photos (so they’re Instagram-ready) and a Pro mode (which allows digital tweaking of ISO speed, aperture, shutter speed, and white balance). To sum it up, the Redmi 7 churns out surprisingly respectable photos, given the phone’s modest price tag.

Like its brethren, the Redmi 7 comes with MIUI 10.2, the latest version of Xiaomi’s proprietary smartphone firmware that’s slapped on top of Android 9 Pie. The UI is fairly intuitive and easy to use for new and seasoned smartphone users alike. Like the previous iterations of the UI, MIUI 10 doesn’t have a definite app drawer; all the apps can be launched straight from the home screen. As an optional feature, MIUI comes with the latest form of gestures for navigation, which is identical to the one seen on iPhones and to the one Android Q is supposed to feature. It also comes with numerous theme and wallpaper options. Despite that and the many features MIUI brings (its own set of everyday tools, like a calendar, calculator, etc.), I am personally not a fan of MIUI for one big reason: it comes filled with a tonne of ads and bloatware.
The Redmi 7 sports a 4,000mAh non-removable battery. On our standard battery benchmark test, the review unit lasted 545 minutes, which exceeds the Nokia 4.2’s score by only 15 minutes on the same test. For your reference, the Nokia 4.2 sports a much smaller 3,000mAh battery. In everyday use scenarios, the Redmi 7 review unit lasted somewhere close to two full days on a single charge.
During the tests, the phone was put through many sessions of web browsing, gaming, online video playback, and simultaneous app installs and downloads. Even after a day of medium-to-heavy use, the battery only fell from 100 to 60 percent. Leaving the phone unattended for nearly an entire day didn’t seem to have too big an impact on the battery (less than a 5-percent drop), which means standby battery consumption on the Redmi 7 is fairly meagre. The Redmi 7 should last you up to one and a half days even with fairly heavy use.
The Redmi 7 offers a good load of value for its price. The budget Xiaomi phone does surprisingly well on the display and camera fronts. Its performance too is up to the mark. PUBG Mobile players on a budget should be quite happy with its ability to push pixels. All things considered, the Redmi 7 really is a fairly good all-rounder. What’s its Achilles heel then? Build quality, easily, especially on the back. I wish the edge of the rear panel didn’t threaten to scratch my finger every time I lifted the phone up.

US President Donald Trump speaks prior to signing the Abraham Accords
The United Arab Emirates and Bahrain signed agreements on Tuesday to establish formal ties with Israel, becoming the first Arab states in a quarter century to break a longstanding taboo, in a strategic realignment of Middle East countries against Iran.
US President Donald Trump hosted the White House ceremony, capping a dramatic month when first the UAE and then Bahrain agreed to reverse decades of ill will without a resolution of Israel's dispute with the Palestinians.
In front of a crowd of several hundred people on the White House lawn, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signed accords with Emirati Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed al-Nahyan and Bahrain's Foreign Minister Abdullatif Al Zayani.
The deals, denounced by the Palestinians, make them the third and fourth Arab states to take such steps toward normalizing relations since Israel signed peace treaties with Egypt in 1979 and Jordan in 1994.
Meeting Netanyahu earlier in the Oval Office, Trump said, "We'll have at least five or six countries coming along very quickly" to forge their own accords with Israel.
Later Trump told reporters a third Gulf Arab state, Saudi Arabia, would strike an agreement with Israel "at the right time." The Saudi cabinet stressed in a statement the need for a "just and comprehensive solution" to the Palestinian issue.
Saudi Arabia is the biggest Gulf Arab power. Its king is custodian of Islam's holiest sites and rules the world's largest oil exporter. Despite its own reluctance, the kingdom's quiet acquiescence to the agreements was seen as crucial.
"Change The Course Of History"
The ceremony provided Trump with valuable imagery as he tries to hold on to power in a November 3 presidential election. Flags of the United States, Israel, the UAE and Bahrain were in abundance.
"We're here this afternoon to change the course of history," Trump said from the White House balcony.
Trump called the deals "a major stride in which people of all faiths and backgrounds live together in peace and prosperity" and declared that the three Middle East countries "are going to work together, they are friends."
The back-to-back agreements mark an improbable diplomatic victory for Trump. He has spent his presidency forecasting deals on such intractable problems as North Korea's nuclear program only to find achievements elusive.
Bringing Israel, the UAE and Bahrain together reflects their shared concern about Iran's rising influence in the region and development of ballistic missiles. Iran criticized both deals.
All three of the Middle East leaders hailed the agreements and Trump's role in glowing terms, with Netanyahu saying it gave hope to "all the people of Abraham."
But the UAE and Bahraini officials both sought to reassure the Palestinians that their countries were not abandoning them or their quest for statehood in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, despite the Palestinian leadership having decried the deals as a betrayal of their cause.
In a sign that regional strife is sure to continue while the Israeli-Palestinian conflict remains unresolved, Palestinian militants fired rockets from Gaza into Israel during the ceremony, the Israeli military said.
Israel's Magen David Adom ambulance service said paramedics treated two men for light injuries from flying glass in Ashdod, and four others suffered shock.
"This is not peace, this is surrender in return for the continuation of the aggression," read a tweet posted on the Twitter account of the Palestine Liberation Organization.
Trump's Evangelical Support
With Trump seeking four more years, the accords could help shore up support among pro-Israel Christian evangelical voters, an important part of his political base.
Another target of the White House plans, in addition to Saudi Arabia, is Oman, whose leader spoke with Trump last week. Oman sent its ambassador to Tuesday's ceremony, a senior US official said. No Saudi representative attended.
Meeting the Emirati foreign minister before the ceremony, Trump thanked the UAE for being first in the Gulf to agree on normalizing ties with Israel and left little doubt the Iran issue was overhanging the event.
Trump predicted that Iran, under heavy US sanctions, would want to reach a deal with Washington, which has been trying to get it to renegotiate an international nuclear accord. Tehran shows no sign of budging.
Israel's pact with the UAE, titled "Treaty of Peace, Diplomatic Relations, and Full Normalization," was more detailed and went further than the Bahraini document, declaring peace between countries that never fought a war against each other.
Israel's agreement with Bahrain called for "full diplomatic relations" but avoided the term normalization.
Both documents cited the need to justly resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict but neither specifically mentioned a two-state solution.
In a nod to the coronavirus, the White House encouraged but did not require participants to wear masks. It was left to the leaders whether to shake hands, and they did not do so in public. Most people in the crowd did not wear masks.
Some differences remain despite warming ties. Trump said on Tuesday he would have no problem selling advanced stealth F-35 fighter jets to the UAE, which for years has sought to obtain them. Israel, which has the F-35, objects to such a sale.
Frustrated by the Palestinians' refusal to take part in Trump's Middle East peace initiative, the White House has sought to bypass them in hopes they will see the deals with the UAE and Bahrain as incentives, even leverage, for peace talks.
Speaking to Fox News hours before the ceremony, Trump predicted the Palestinians would eventually forge peace with Israel or else be "left out in the cold."
The Palestinian leadership has long accused Trump of pro-Israel bias and denounced the Arab rapprochement with Israel, even though Netanyahu agreed, in return for normalization with the UAE, to suspend a plan to annex parts of the occupied West Bank.
Although Israeli-Palestinian negotiations broke down in 2014, some Gulf Arab states and several other Arab countries have long had quiet, informal contacts with Israel.

Realme new phone series is tipped to come with 125W fast charging support
Realme may be working on a new smartphone powered by the Snapdragon 875 SoC. Xu Qi Chase, President of Global Marketing and Vice President at Realme, teased the arrival of a new series. He didn't offer any timeline for launch, but noted that the upcoming phone will be powered by a 5nm flagship chipset, which sounds likely to be the upcoming Snapdragon 875 SoC. The current Snapdragon 865 SoC range is based on the 7nm FinFET process.
Chase took to Weibo to share a new poster that details main series announced by Realme including the Q series, V series, and X series. The poster hints at a new smartphone range in the offing, and Chase writes that the new smartphone will incorporate a 5nm flagship processor. He is likely talking about the unannounced Snapdragon 875 SoC, which should be based on 5nm process, given that the Snapdragon 865 SoC is based on 7nm process. However, at this stage it is just an educated guess as the company has not given more details.
This same poster was leaked in the past with the claim that Oppo is discontinuing its Ace series after launching just two phones in it. In turn, Realme will look to introduce similar Ace-like high-performing phones in a new smartphone series. The branding of this series is not known yet, neither is there any information on the launch timeline.
Previous report also suggests that the phone in this series will have 125W fast charging support that was introduced by Oppo recently. The company claims that this fast charging tech is able to charge a 4,000mAh battery up to 41 percent in just five minutes and fully charge it in 20 minutes.
Is Realme TV the best TV under Rs. 15,000 in India? We discussed this on Orbital, our weekly technology podcast, which you can subscribe to via Apple Podcasts or RSS, download the episode, or just hit the play button below.
