Video: Millionaire Accuses Partner Of Cheating During Engagement Party

An Italian millionaire banker's speech has gone viral after he accused his fiance of cheating on him during a lavish party to celebrate their engagement.

Massimo Segre, a 64-year-old banker and a board member of the Domani newspaper stood up to give a toast at the banquet held at his Turin mansion, last week. The event had 150 high-society guests to celebrate his engagement to entrepreneur Cristina Seymandi, 47.

"I want to give Cristina the freedom to love," Mr Segre said in his speech, which he had written in the form of a letter, according to a translation from The Sunday Times."Specifically, to love another person; a notable lawyer, who she clearly cares about more than me."

"Dear Cristina, I know how much you are in love with him mentally and sexually," he added, according to The Sunday Times. "And I know that before him you had a relationship with an industrialist acquaintance."

"And I know that before him, you were in a relationship with a well-known industrialist. Do not think that I am pleased to look like a cuckold in front of all of you," he continued.

He also accused Ms Seymandi of lying and turning him against his children from another marriage.

"She is so good at telling her truths, that I could not let her be the only one to explain why I am ending our relationship tonight," he said.

"Dear Cristina, go to Mykonos with your lawyer. Be happy with him, it's all paid for, just like the trip to Vietnam."

The shaky video of the speech has gone viral on the internet. The video shows Ms Seymandi in shock as her fiance delivered the speech before walking off.

According to the Independent, the couple had been engaged for three years.

Ms Seymandi told Italian newspaper Il Corriere della Sera, "When he started talking, I thought it was a joke. Then I was petrified. It was an act of abhorrent violence."

"Not to mention the comments on social networks with obscene words and phrases. If the same thing had happened but with the roles reversed, the reactions would have been very different. But I am a woman, and in this world, that makes a big difference."

An advisor for Seymandi has now said that legal action could take place, the Times reported.

"Very probably Seymandi will be taking legal action for reputational damage," Luca Poma told The Times. "She has suffered very serious attacks on social media and threats from Italian citizens. It has been traumatic."

Why KCR Announced Candidates In Telangana Before Poll Dates

Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao's move to announce a majority of his party candidates for the state elections that are yet to be announced, is a mark of confidence, leaders of his party said. Its full measure is repeating all the sitting members barring seven, they said.  

The ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi has announced candidates for 115 of the 119 seats in the state assembly.  So far, only seven sitting MLAs appears to have been dropped.  

"Our estimate is we will win 95-105 seats. Not just MLA, even MP seats. We want to win 17 (Lok Sabha) seats. We and MIM are friendly parties," Mr Rao told reporters today.  

His party leaders say this will also bring in the first mover advantage -- which the party accrued in 2018 when it won its second term in power. "Even if there is some anti-incumbency against any individual MLA, people will vote for KCR and the BRS template of development and welfare," said senior party leader B Vinod.

The party claims its development template has led to a per capita income rise. Its welfare schemes cover every critical sector -- Rythu Bandhu and Rythu Bima for farmers, Dalit Bandhu for Scheduled Castes, BC Bandhu for Backward Classes and pensions for the elderly, widows, disabled and other disadvantaged sections.

The Chief Minister has brushed off the possibility of any real competition, not just from the BJP, but also the ascendant Congress which won a massive mandate in neighbouring Karnataka.  

Telangana is not Karnataka, Mr Rao has said, and suggested that Siddaramaiah government is already floundering. The Congress, he said, has been unable to fulfill its pre-poll promises in Karnataka.

The statements of the Chief Minister and his party leaders, though, are at variance with Mr Rao's move to contest elections from two seats -- Kamareddy in addition to his Gajwel assembly seat. In ordinary circumstances, it indicates a nervousness. The party leaders, though, laughed off the possibility.

London's Iconic 'India Club' Loses Demolition Battle, To Shut Down On...

The India Club in London, with its early roots in the Indian independence movement as a hub for nationalists, is to shut down next month after losing a protracted battle against closure, it emerged on Monday.

The historic meeting venue and eatery, which had won its battle to prevent the building in the heart of London's Strand from demolition a few years ago, was served a notice by the landlords to make way for a more modernised hotel.

Proprietors Yadgar Marker and his daughter Phiroza launched a "Save India Club" appeal as they fought to keep it going but have now announced its impending closure.

"It is with a very heavy heart that we announce the closure of the India Club, with our last day open to the public on September 17," they said.

The India Club has its roots in the India League, which campaigned for Indian independence in Britain, with its founding members including Krishna Menon - who went on to become the first Indian High Commissioner to the UK.

As well as housing one of the UK's early Indian restaurants, the Club quickly transformed into a hub for a rapidly growing British South Asian community in the aftermath of Indian independence and Partition.

"Since its opening over 70 years ago, the India Club has been a home-away-from-home for 1st generation immigrants from the Indian subcontinent, as well as a community space for Indo-British groups," said Phiroza, who has been helping out her father at the Club since childhood.

"Menon intended the India Club to be a place where young Indian professionals living on a shoestring could afford to eat, discuss politics, and plan their futures," noted Parvathi Raman, Founding Chair of the Centre for Migration and Diaspora Studies at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), when she worked on the exhibition 'A Home Away from Away: The India Club' in 2019, curated by the UK's conservation charity National Trust.

The Club, which has functioned as an Indian restaurant on the Strand near the Indian High Commission since 1946, is located on the first floor of the 26-room Strand Continental Hotel.

The freeholder of the building, Marston Properties, had earlier put in an application with Westminster City Council for a "partial demolition" to create a new hotel. The application was unanimously turned down by the Council in August 2018, noting the venue's importance as a cultural institution in the heart of London.

Senior Congress MP Shashi Tharoor took to social media to lament the closure announcement, given his journalist father Chandran Tharoor's connection with the historic venue.

I am sorry to hear that the India Club, London, is to close permanently in September. As the son of one of its founders, I lament the passing of an institution that served so many Indians (and not only Indians) for nearly three-quarters of a century. For many students,… pic.twitter.com/bwyOB1zqIu

"As the son of one of its founders, I lament the passing of an institution that served so many Indians (and not only Indians) for nearly three-quarters of a century.

"For many students, journalists and travellers, it was a home away from home, offering simple and good quality Indian food at affordable prices as well as a convivial atmosphere to meet and maintain friendships," he posted on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.

It triggered a flood of responses from people expressing their sadness at the loss of a slice of British Indian history in London.

7 Dead As Bus Carrying Football Fans Crashes On Brazil Highway

Seven people died in a bus crash on a highway in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais in the early hours of Sunday, said the state's military fire brigade.

The bus was carrying fans of football team Corinthians, after they attended a match against Cruzeiro in the Minas Gerais capital, Belo Horizonte.

Passengers said that 43 people were in the vehicle, which lost its brakes at around 2:50 am, hit a ravine and flipped over, according to firefighters.

The fire department said 36 people were injured, 27 of them were taken to hospitals and one was in a serious but non-life-threatening condition.

Corinthians regretted the accident and expressed its solidarity with the families of the victims. Several other Brazilian football clubs also expressed their condolences.

President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who is a Corinthians fan, offered his condolences to the family and friends of the victims.

"I hope for the recovery of the injured and an investigation into the causes of the accident. We need peace and vehicles in good conditions on the roads, because there is no way to recover lives lost," Mr Lula said in a social media post.
