Diosdado Cabello, the head of  Venezuela ‘s pro-government constituent assembly, has called on supporters of President Nicolas Maduro to rally at the presidential palace after opposition leader Juan Guaido said troops had joined him to oust Maduro. Guaido, speaking earlier on Tuesday near the La Carlota air force base in Caracas surrounded by a group of men in military uniform, said the “final phase” to end Maduro’s presidency had begun. Guaido, in a video posted on his Twitter account, was speaking in the company of men in military uniform and opposition politician Leopoldo Lopez, who had been under house arrest after he was found guilty of inciting violence during anti-government protests in 2014. He said he was at the  La Carlota  airbase in Caracas.  “The national armed forces have taken the correct decision, and they are counting on the support of the  Venezuela n people,” Guaido said. He also called on people to go out to the streets and asked them to...

Erik Prince – the founder of the controversial private security firm Blackwater and a prominent supporter of US President Donald Trump – has been pushing a plan to deploy a private army to help topple Venezuela ‘s socialist president, Nicholas Maduro , four sources with knowledge of the effort told Reuters. Over the last several months, the sources said, Prince has sought investment and political support for such an operation from influential Trump supporters and wealthy Venezuelan exiles. In private meetings in the United States and Europe , Prince sketched out a plan to field up to 5,000 soldiers-for-hire on behalf of Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido , according to two sources with direct knowledge of Prince’s pitch. One source said Prince has conducted meetings about the issue as recently as mid-April. White House National Security Council Spokesman Garrett Marquis declined to comment when asked whether Prince had proposed his plan to the government and whether it wou...

New Delhi, India – India ‘s general election, the world’s largest democratic exercise, is past its halfway mark. The country’s election commission says nearly 900 million voters are eligible to vote in the seven-phase voting , which started on April 11 and will go on till May 19 for 543 parliamentary constituencies. But nationwide reports of voters finding they were unable to vote after being deleted from or deemed ineligible for being included in the electoral rolls has raised concerns. Voter turnout this year has been high, particularly in the state of Assam which recorded an impressive 80 percent polling. But those left out of the voting process in India’s northeastern state have not been able to join in the enthusiasm. “I feel neglected. It’s very painful and I can’t explain it,” says Saleha Begum, a 60-year-old resident of Assam’s Baksa district. Saleha is one of around 125,000 ‘D’ or ‘Doubtful’ voters in Assam deemed ineligible to vote by the authorities, who say they wer...

Ron Turenne/Getty Images And  that is why the Philadelphia 76ers traded for Jimmy Butler . It wasn’t just because they could, or because the Markelle Fultz experiment went belly up before it ever started, or because Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons aren’t enough on their own. It was all those things and more, and then even more than that. After dealing for Butler in November, acquiring Tobias Harris in February and once again leaning on late-season additions to flesh out a rotation begging for substance beyond the starting five, the Sixers are as close as it gets to an NBA contender assembled on the fly.  They are shallow yet teeming with star power, terrifyingly talented yet unavoidably unfamiliar. That top-heavy slapdashery doesn’t always work, but it can work. It has worked—often just barely, though it’s worked all the same. Butler is the primary reason why. He gives the Sixers a line to potential dominance. He also affords them a margin for error. They can fall beh...

Vaughn Ridley/Getty Images Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid is taking drastic measures to ensure he’s healthy enough to play against the Toronto Raptors in the 2019 NBA playoffs. Embiid told ESPN’s Jackie MacMullan he was going through six separate treatment sessions daily on his left knee. The two-time All-Star added he sets his alarm for 5 a.m. ET to begin the regimen. “ Normally, sleep helps me a lot,” he said. “B ut right now sleep is secondary. I’ve got to take care of my body. I’ll sleep later.” Embiid missed Philadelphia’s Game 3 win over the Brooklyn Nets in the first round. In his four appearances during the series, he averaged 24.3 minutes per game in the series, a noticeable drop from his usage in the regular season (33.4 minutes). Prior to the start of the second round, Embiid indicated he wanted to see the floor a little more. “ But, we did a good job managing it,” he   told reporters . “ Obviously I only averaged about 24 minutes last series, so ...
