Nobel Peace laureate Navi Pillay urged the United States to defend human rights and return to what she called its traditional role as a global leader.

Kerala’s High Court has kept an FIR order in force in a case involving former chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan, his daughter Veena and son-in-law P.A. Mohammed Riyas.

The accused say they were not heard before a single judge directed the state’s Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau to register a case.

The dispute concerns payments from Kochi-based minerals company CMRL to Veena’s now-defunct firm Exalogic, which an income-tax panel said totalled ₹1.72 crore over three years despite no services being provided.

Aaron Sorkin’s ‘The Social Reckoning’ opened to $5.5 million in US ticket sales over the weekend, far below expectations.

The film follows the 2010 hit ‘The Social Network,’ which opened with $22 million, and focuses on whistleblower Frances Haugen’s leaks about Facebook.

The new film received mixed-to-negative reviews, with a 55% Rotten Tomatoes rating and a B- CinemaScore from opening-weekend audiences.
