By Nidhi Jacob An old video alleging that the total votes counted by Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) in the Varanasi constituency during the 2019 Lok Sabha elections exceeded the total votes polled is being misrepresented on social media platforms as footage from the recent 2024 elections.

We also found that the video went viral just before the 2024 Lok Sabha elections in April, and the Election Commission of India had refuted the claim on April 7, 2024. The video claims that in the Varanasi constituency where Prime Minister Narendra Modi was running, 11 l...

But those laws remain a hurdle and straightforward access to abortions has yet to resume, said Bethany Lewis, executive director of the Preterm abortion clinic in Cleveland. “Legally, what actually happened in practice was not much,” she said.

With 500 million citizens starting to vote in the European elections tomorrow (Thursday, 6 June), Radio Schuman sat down with Fabrice Leggeri, the former Executive Director of the EU border agency Frontex.

He had just left a pub in the eastern seaside town of Clacton-on-Sea where he had been speaking to the media, when a bystander threw the drink over him. Police say they have arrested a 25-year-old woman from Clacton on suspicion of assault. The populist politician and former European Member of Parliament is making his eighth attempt at winning a seat in the House of Commons. After initially saying he would not stand in the elec...
