Modi set for 5-nation Africa & Latin America visit in July; will be 1st PM to visit Ghana since Rao
The five-nation visit coincides with the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) summit, which is being hosted in Rio de Janeiro on 6-7 July. Modi is likely to travel to Brasília, the Brazilian capital city, for a bilateral meeting with President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. A source familiar with the matter said that the Prime Minister's visit is set to begin with a visit to Ghana, followed by the visit to three countries in South America and the Caribbean, before ending in Namibia. New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set for a five-nation visit likely beginning 2 July, which will include Ghana, Trinidad and Tobago, Argentina, Brazil and Namibia, ThePrint has learnt. 'The focus of the visit is strengthening India's ties with Africa, as well as with the largest economies in South America. There is a strong Indian diaspora connection with Trinidad and Tobago,' the source said with regards to the visit. The source added that with Ghana, there are long-standing ties, and a key area for talks will be the development partnership. Argentina and Brazil are two of the largest economies in South America. Modi met with Presidents Lula and Javier Milei of Argentina on the margins of the G20 leaders' summit last year hosted by Brazil. Cooperation between India and Namibia has grown in recent years, especially with the Cheetah reintroduction project. In 2022, Prime Minister Modi personally released cheetahs translocated from Namibia at Kuno in Madhya Pradesh—the first-of-its-kind intercontinental translocation of the carnivore species globally. Ties between India and Trinidad and Tobago goes back almost two centuries, when the first ship carrying Indian indentured labourers landed on the shores of Trinidad on 30 May, 1845. Today the Indian community, specifically persons of Indian origin, make up roughly 40 percent of the total population of the Caribbean country today.

The last Indian Prime Minister to visit Accra was Narasimha Rao in November 1995. President Pranab Mukherjee did a state visit to Namibia in 2016, however, no Indian Prime Minister has visited the African nation yet. India had been one of the earliest nations to raise the question over the independence of Namibia at the United Nations in 1946. The Southwest Africa's People Organisation (SWAPO), which led Namibia's independence movement, opened its first foreign mission in India in 1986. After Windhoek won its independence in 1990, India upgraded its mission in Namibia to that of a High Commission. The last visit to Port of Spain by an Indian PM was by Manmohan Singh in 2009. The President of Trinidad and Tobago Christine Carla Kangaloo virtually addressed India's Pravasi Bharatiya Diwas earlier this year. Kangaloo was slated to travel to Bhubaneshwar, but was unable to do so. With Brazil and Argentina, India maintains a strategic partnership. Brazil and India are founding members of BRICS and have maintained a strong partnership across a number of areas, including supporting their respective bids for permanent membership to the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). Modi last visited Argentina in 2018 for the G20 leaders' summit in November 2018. Milei, the ultraconservative President, assumed power in 2023 and has attempted to resuscitate its economy and rein in its inflation, pushing for closer trade with the US. While Modi's attendance at the BRICS summit will see a number of bilateral meetings with various leaders, the one meeting which is not expected is with President Xi Jinping of China. The Chinese President is unlikely to attend the summit, according to reports. (Edited by Tony Rai) Also Read: Carney is repairing what Trudeau left damaged.

Tyreek Hill brutally mocks Noah Lyles after Olympic champion cancelled race over mysterious 'personal reasons'
Miami Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill has gone on the offensive since American sprinter Noah Lyles dropped out of their proposed 100-meter foot race due to 'personal reasons.' Lyles, who won gold in the 100-meter dash at the 2024 Paris Olympics, has long been taunted by Hill, an NFL speedster who refers to himself as 'Cheetah.' The 27-year-old track-and-field star ultimately agreed to race the 31-year-old Hill, but has since reneged on that promise, as he explained at the Stagwell's Sport Beach at Cannes Lions on Monday. 'We were very deep into creating the event. In fact, it was supposed to happen this weekend,' Lyles said. 'Unfortunately there were some things, complications, personal reasons that it just didn't come to pass, but we were full on. 'We were gonna have a big event, we were going to shut down New York Times Square and everything, we were gonna have all the billboards for the event, it was going to be a lot of fun.' Hill, who recently posted a 10.15-second 100-meter performance at the Last Chance Sprint Series, has now responded on social media. First, the former Super Bowl champion posted the Homer Simpson meme, showing the beloved Simpsons character disappearing into some bushes alongside the caption: '[Lyles] after seeing me race last weekend.' Hill also posted pictures of himself on a track with a sign reading: 'Noah Could Never.' He included another comment in a caption: 'I was right.' As impressive as Hill's second-place finish was at the Last Chance Sprint Series, his time of 10.15 may not be good enough to beat Lyles, who has a personal best in the event of 9.79 seconds. Hill has undergone multiple surgeries this offseason to correct a wrist injury. His future with the Dolphins remains uncertain after he appeared to take himself out of a game at the end of the 2024 campaign. However, Hill was among the attendees this week as the Dolphins went through OTAs in Miami. He's also faced his share of legal problems this offseason. View this post on Instagram A post shared by NFL (@nfl) Hill still faces a lawsuit from a model and influencer, who claims broke her leg during a football lesson at his house in 2023. More recently, wife Keeta Vaccaro, 33, filed for divorce from Hill a day after cops responded to reports of an 'assault in progress' at the couple's luxury Miami condo on April 7. He allegedly hurled a laptop onto the floor and was 'aggressive and impulsive' according to Vaccaro's mother Alesia - but police determined that 'no crime was committed'. In another court filing, Vaccaro said the Dolphins wideout disappeared for several days before returning to their Miami apartment on April 17 to 'unilaterally remove' their four-month-old daughter, Capri. 'The Husband returned to the home and announced that he was taking the baby, over the objections of the Wife who had invited him to spend time with the baby,' says the 'emergency' motion, filed within hours of the latest spat. 'When the police arrived, the police told the Wife that she had no choice except to let the Husband take the baby, and so she did.' Hill is reported to be the father of as many as a dozen children, including five in the last year alone.

Noah Lyles says his race against Tyreek Hill has been canceled due to 'complications'
Miami Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill, left, and U.S. sprinter Noah Lyles had announced a race against each other earlier this year but Lyles said this week that those plans have been scrapped. (Associated Press) U.S. sprinter Noah Lyles thinks he's the fastest man in the world. Tyreek Hill, the Miami Dolphins receiver with the nickname "Cheetah," thinks he could beat Lyles in a race. The two men announced earlier this year that they would settle this most pressing of matters on the track, without offering many other details. Advertisement Now, however, it seems the world may never know which of them is truly its fastest runner. Speaking to reporters on Monday at the Stagwell Global Sport Beach event in Cannes, France, the 27-year-old Lyles revealed that his race against Hill, 31, actually had been slated to take place "this weekend" in Times Square but had been called off at some point because of unspecified "complications" and "personal reasons." 'We were very deep into creating the event. In fact, it was supposed to happen this weekend," Lyles said. "Unfortunately there were some things — complications, personal reasons — [and] it just didn't come to pass.

We were going to shut down New York Times Square and everything. We were gonna have all the billboards for the event. It was going to be a lot of fun." Lyles was the world champion in the 200 meters in 2019, 2022 and 2023 and in the 100 in 2023. At last year's Paris Olympics, he won gold in the 100 and bronze in the 200, later saying he had Covid-19 during those Games. Following his 2023 world title, Lyles drew attention by telling reporters that teams that win the championship of a league based primarily or entirely in the United Statesare not technically world champions, despite what those athletes might claim. "World champion of what?" Lyles asked . "The United States?" Advertisement During 2024 training camp, podcast host Kay Adams mentioned Lyles' comments to Hill and asked the speedy receiver if he'd like to race Lyles. 'I would beat Noah Lyles,' replied Hill, a former high school track star who won the 100 and 200 at the 2012 Georgia 5A state meet and ran the 40-yard dash in 4.29 at his 2015 pro day. "I'm not going to beat him by a lot, but I would beat Noah Lyles.' Read more: High school sprinter stripped of state title after fire extinguisher celebration Lyles' personal bests are 9.79 seconds in the 100 and 19.31 seconds in the 200. He told Bleacher Report in May that he thought his time in the 40 would be "somewhere between a 4.1 and a 4.2." Advertisement In February, immediately after winning the 60 at the Indoor Grand Prix, Lyles held a scrap of paper in front of his face that read, 'Tyreek Could Never.' Last week, after running a personal-best time of 10.15 in a 100-meter preliminary at a Last Chance Sprint Series event at Sherman Oaks Notre Dame, Hill held up a sign that read "Noah Could Never." While the two men apparently had been slated to settle their feud on the track, now it looks like that's not going to happen. Hill took to X on Tuesday to post a version of a popular meme featuring Homer Simpson fading into the bushes, with Lyles' face super-imposed over that of the cartoon character. "@LylesNoah after seeing me run the 100m last weekend," Hill wrote.
