The "Thalapathy" era has officially begun in Tamil Nadu politics. Vijay, flanked by key aides including KA Sengottaiyan and Aadhav Arjuna, has formally met Governor Rajendra Arlekar to stake his claim. The breakthrough comes via a dramatic realignment: the Congress has dumped the DMK to support TVK, citing a mission to keep "communal forces" out.

In a statement from the White House, President Donald Trump has declared a total military victory in the 40-day conflict with Iran. Speaking to reporters on May 6, 2026, Trump asserted that the Iranian Navy, once 159 ships strong, has been "blown to pieces" and now lies at the bottom of the sea. The President provided a grim assessment of Tehran’s remaining capabilities, claiming their Air Force is non-existent, their radar systems are destroyed, and nearly 80% of their missile arsenal has been decimated. Most significantly, Trump claimed that the Iranian leadership has been wiped out, leaving the nation in a state of total collapse. Despite the heavy rhetoric, Trump revealed a major diplomatic pivot, reporting "very good talks" with Tehran over the last 24 hours. Is a historic peace deal on the horizon, or is this the final ultimatum before a "big step further"?

Thalapathy Vijay’s political debut has been a "blockbuster," yet the path to the Chief Minister's chair remains blocked by a hung assembly. With 112 seats in hand, Vijay is scrambling to reach the magic number of 118. While the Congress has pledged its 5 MLAs to ensure a "secular" government, Governor Rajendra Arlekar has sought legal counsel before inviting the TVK chief. All eyes are now on the VCK, Left parties, and AMMK to see if they will tilt the scales. Despite the uncertainty, Chennai’s Nehru Indoor Stadium is already being prepped for a historic oath-taking ceremony.
Uber shares surged over 8% after the company projected second-quarter bookings of nearly $58 billion, beating Wall Street expectations. The strong forecast comes despite geopolitical headwinds from the Iran conflict, which impacted growth in the Middle East. Uber continues to see solid demand for its ride-hailing and delivery services, with analysts highlighting resilience in U.S. suburban markets and international regions. The company is also expanding aggressively in countries like Australia and newer markets such as Denmark. A key growth driver is Uber’s strategy to integrate robotaxis through partnerships with over 20 companies, rather than building autonomous technology in-house. Additionally, the adoption of artificial intelligence tools is improving operational efficiency and slowing hiring needs. Watch to understand what’s driving Uber’s growth and what it means for investors.
