"The Night Manager" is the only entry from India across 14 categories at the nominations that were announced on Thursday in New York by the International Academy of Television Arts &amp; Sciences (IATAS). The series, directed by <keyword id="23240351" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Sandeep-Modi" source="keywords">Sandeep Modi</keyword> and <keyword id="23246289" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Priyanka-Ghose" source="keywords">Priyanka Ghose</keyword>, is adapted from both -- the John le Carre's novel and the British show, starring Tom Hiddleston, Hugh Laurie and Olivia Colman. "The Night Manager" will compete with French show "Les Gouttes de Dieu" (Drops of God), "The Newsreader - Season 2" from Australia and "Iosi, El Espia Arrepentido" season two from Argentina in the category. Kapur, who essayed the titular Night Manager, said he is happy that his series debut received an International Emmy nod and it is a "big moment" for the entire team. "An Emmy Nomination for my first series.. wow! From day one, we knew that we were creating something special with The Night Manager but for it to receive so much love and recognition across the country, and the world was not something any of us had imagined. This is such a big moment for us all!" he said. In the Indian take, Kapur played Shaan Sengupta, a hotel night manager, who goes undercover to bring down the empire of arms dealer Shaildendra 'Shelly' Rungta (played by Anil Kapoor). Kapoor said he is "ecstatic" over the nomination, which is a "worthy reminder" that hard work always pays off. "It's just been brought to my attention that our Indian adaptation of 'The Night Manager' has been nominated for an International Emmy. I remember when the offer came in, I was conflicted. It offered me the opportunity to play a character so complex, but also, on the other hand, the huge responsibility of trying to add newness and authenticity to a part that had been played so masterfully by Hugh Laurie. "This validation from the Emmys, in addition to the tremendous love that we have received from fans worldwide, is a worthy reminder that hard work always pays.. I am ecstatic and hungrier than ever before for what's to come," the actor said. Also starring Tillotama Shome, Saswata Chatterjee and Ravi Behl, "The Night Manager" is produced by The Ink Factory and Banijay Asia for Disney+ Hotstar. Dhulipala, who played Kaveri, said the news of the show's nomination is "motivating and moving". "This is such fantastic news! I'm so happy for the directors Sandeep Modi and Priyanka Ghose as well as our phenomenal technical crew. Big shout out to Anil Sir, Aditya, Tillotama and the rest of the cast for this exciting moment and shared joy!" she added. Modi said he is beyond happy that "The Night Manager" is the only Indian nomination at the 2024 <keyword id="23246288" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="International-Emmys" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="International Emmys" meta.hostid="83" meta.entityid="International Emmys">International Emmys</keyword>. "With The Night Manager, the most challenging thing was to tell the story again in a way that it would appeal to the audiences. Each character has been crafted meticulously, in a way that they connect with the Indian audiences and the ethos," he added. The International Emmys, to be held in New York on November 25, will be hosted by Indian comedian Vir Das, who won an award last year for his stand-up special "Landing". Nominees for International Emmys come from different countries such as Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, India, Chile, Colombia, France, Japan, Germany and many others. "Every year the international television community competes to be recognized on the International Emmys' much coveted global stage," said International Academy President &amp; CEO Bruce L Paisner. "We congratulate the Nominees for their outstanding programs and performances, they are once again a testament to the universal appeal of great storytelling across all genres, countries and cultures," Paisner added. The other nominee categories are for best performance by an actor, actress, comedy, documentary, non-scripted entertainment, short-form series, sports documentary, telenovela, TV movie / mini-series, kids: animation, kids: factual, kids: live-action.

Roy expressed her delight at being named this year's winner amid an "incomprehensible turn" the world is taking. "I am delighted to accept the PEN Pinter prize. I wish Harold Pinter were with us today to write about the almost incomprehensible turn the world is taking. Since he isn't, some of us must do our utmost to try to fill his shoes," said 62-year-old Roy. The renowned author, who won the <keyword id="20316916" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Booker-Prize" source="keywords">Booker Prize</keyword> for her debut novel 'The God of Small Things', was chosen by this year's judges - Chair of English PEN Ruth Borthwick; actor and activist Khalid Abdalla; and writer and musician Roger Robinson. She will receive the award at a ceremony co-hosted by the British Library on October 10, where she will also deliver an address. "Roy tells urgent stories of injustice with wit and beauty. While India remains an important focus, she is truly an internationalist thinker, and her powerful voice is not to be silenced," said Borthwick. "Arundhati Roy is a luminous voice of freedom and justice whose words have come with fierce clarity and determination for almost 30 years now," said Abdalla. "This year, as the world faces the deep histories that have created this moment in Gaza, our need for writers who are 'unflinching and unswerving' has been immense. In honoring Arundhati Roy this year, we are celebrating both the dignity of her body of work and the timeliness of her words, that arrive with the depth of her craft exactly when we need them most," he said. "Arundhati Roy was the unanimous choice for this prestigious award, a testament to her unparalleled contribution to literature. Her vast body of work, encompassing both fiction and non-fiction, has not only captivated readers worldwide but also consistently focused on themes of <keyword id="19934927" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="social-justice" source="keywords">social justice</keyword>, " added Robinson. The judges noted Roy's incisive commentary on issues ranging from environmental degradation to human rights abuses demonstrates her commitment to advocating for the marginalized and challenging the status quo. "Her unique voice and unwavering dedication to these causes make her a deserving recipient of this honour," they said. The prize will be shared with a "Writer of Courage" - one who is active in defence of freedom of expression, often at great risk to their own safety and liberty. The co-winner will be selected and announced by Arundhati Roy from a shortlist of cases supported by English PEN. The prize is awarded annually to a writer of outstanding literary merit resident in the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland or the Commonwealth who, in the words of Harold Pinter's Nobel Prize in Literature speech, casts an "unflinching, unswerving" gaze upon the world and shows a "fierce intellectual determination... to define the real truth of our lives and our societies".

Business Insider spoke with Wood about it at the Writers Guild Awards in New York on Sunday, where he was <a target="_blank" href="https://awards.wga.org/awards/nominees-winners">nominated</a> for the Steven Soderbergh-directed miniseries "Command Z." The comedian and writer told BI that the moment came from his pride for the show's crew, who kept it running in Noah's absence after the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trevor-noah-exiting-daily-show-after-7-years-2022-9">former host left in December 2022</a>."The Emmy that 'The Daily Show' won, for about half of that year, there was no host," Wood told BI. "To be able to go and put together a show without a regular host is not easy. If they can do this without a host, imagine what they could do with one."<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/emmys-nominees-winners-list-2022-7">"The Daily Show" showrunner Jennifer Flanz,</a> who was also at the WGAs where she was nominated alongside "The Daily Show" crew for outstanding comedy/variety talk series, separately told BI on the red carpet that she was proud the show had been nominated for work during its hostless year."Our writers and our producers and directors, our whole staff really stepped up," Flanz told BI. "The idea of turning over 'The Daily Show' every week to a new voice was like, unheard of. It's such a challenge."Wood left the show in October 2023, during the interim period when the show had yet to fill its Noah-sized hole. Following Noah's absence, the show switched between celebrity guest hosts like John Leguizamo and Leslie Jones, in addition to putting <a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kTVLMDIwqY">correspondents like Wood</a> in the chair. In January, Comedy Central made the surprise announcement that <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/jon-stewart-returning-daily-show-host-2024-1">Stewart would return to the show</a>, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/jon-stewart-marvels-how-trump-bored-at-his-own-trial-2024-4">hosting on Monday nights</a> while the show's correspondents fill out the rest of each week.Wood was a possible contender for the top job, but he <a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yog04zYYD3s">said</a> on "Sherri" after his departure that he wanted the chance to pursue other opportunities during the time that Comedy Central was taking to find a host in case he didn't end up in the chair.The comedian told BI that, for the most part, people took his statement at the Emmys lightly, though he did touch base with some of his former colleagues afterward."I bounced around the after parties and I threw out a few apologies to coworkers, some of whom are here tonight, and we're still friends," Wood said.While "The Daily Show" didn't win a WGA award on Sunday, Wood wished the show's crew well on the red carpet — and he's pursuing his own endeavors, including a book and two shows of his own."It is odd being here and seeing them as former colleagues instead of current colleagues, like that part is different," he said. "It's like seeing your ex out with somebody new, but you broke up on good terms."

The Enforcement Directorate has issued fresh summons to American millionaire <keyword id="271260" type="General" weightage="90" keywordseo="neville-roy-singham" source="Orion">Neville Roy Singham</keyword> for questioning in connection with a <keyword id="6355008" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="money-laundering" source="Orion">money laundering</keyword> investigation linked to online news portal <keyword id="10731773" type="General" weightage="70" keywordseo="newsclick" source="Orion">NewsClick</keyword>, official sources said Thursday. The businessman, who is accused of spreading Chinese propaganda in India, is stated to be currently based in Shanghai, China. The <keyword id="12163" type="General" weightage="30" keywordseo="ed" source="Orion">ED</keyword> has issued fresh summons to <keyword id="213658" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="singham" source="Orion">Singham</keyword> under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). This is a fresh notice issued to him after the agency got issued Letters Rogatory (LR) from a local court seeking to record his statement, the sources said. The summons have been sent to Singham on his email id and through the Chinese government channels, after the ED routed them through the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA). This is understood to be second summons issued to Singham by the ED after one was issued last year after the investigation was launched in 2021. Singham's name hit the headlines again few months back in a New York Times article. The Delhi Police, following this news piece and some "evidence" shared by ED, had also filed a FIR against him and the founders of NewsClick after this news report came to light. In a statement issued to The Hindu newspaper in October, Singham had said that the language used in the FIR filed by the Special Cell of Delhi Police "strongly suggests" that the claims were "influenced by misinformation from an article published by The New York Times." "The NYT intentionally chose not to publish all the factual rebuttals that I provided to them on July 22, 2023, prior to their publication date," Singham had charged. He also rejected the allegation of fraudulent infusion of funds through a "complex web of several entities" as mentioned in the FIR and in the NYT article. The New York Times report claimed that NewsClick was part of a global network that received funding from Singham, who allegedly works closely with the Chinese government media machine. The Enforcement Directorate had first raided the premises of NewsClick in Saidulajab area of the national capital in September, 2021 on charges of money laundering. The agency has recorded the statements of more than 25 people in this case, including that of NewsClick founder and Editor-in-chief Prabir Purkayastha. It last year attached a flat in south Delhi's Saket worth Rs 4.52 crore, which is linked to Purkayastha apart from fixed deposits worth Rs 41 lakh as part of this investigation. NewsClick had said the allegations being made against it "by certain political actors and sections of the media are unfounded and without basis in fact or law".

Overall results are not so bad but discounted in prices. FY24 guidance - revised downwards would put pressure on prices to sustain while it has maintained margins." He added that technically the last minute fall in prices shows that results were not in favour of bulls and hence a gap down opening between ₹1,400-1,420 could be seen in the opening trade.

Its large orders’ total contract value (TCV) of large deals at $7.7 billion. “We had our highest large deals value at $7.7 billion in Q2 spread across all verticals and geographies.

Markets regulator <keyword id="35210" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Sebi" source="Orion">SEBI</keyword> on Tuesday said it has recovered pending dues worth Rs 6.57 crore from Sahara India Real Estate Corporation, its chief <keyword id="31933" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="subrata-roy" source="Orion">Subrata Roy</keyword>, and others in the case pertaining to flouting norms in issuance of optionally fully convertible debentures. "In view of the payment of the amount of Rs 6.57 crore due under the certificate, the said certificate is hereby completed," the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) said in its recovery order. The amount included interest and other charges. The regulator in December ordered the attachment of bank and demat accounts of Sahara India Real Estate Corporation (now known as Sahara Commodity Services Corporation), Subrata Roy, <keyword id="1595961" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="ashok-roy-choudhary" source="Orion">Ashok Roy Choudhary</keyword>, Ravi Shanker Dubey and <keyword id="15891249" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="vandana-bharrgava" source="Orion">Vandana Bharrgava</keyword> to recover Rs 6.42 crore for violating regulatory norms in the issuance of OFCDs (Optionally Fully Convertible Debentures). This amount included interest, all costs, charges and expenses. The recovery proceedings were initiated against these entities after they failed to pay Rs 6 crore fine imposed on them by SEBI in June 2022. The case relates to the issuance of OFCDs by Sahara India Real Estate Corporation and Sahara Housing Investment Corporation during 2008-09. The companies raised money through the public issue of securities by issuing OFCDs without following the various procedures intended to protect the interest of the investors, in respect of public issues, prescribed under the norms. According to SEBI, the subscription towards the OFCDs was solicited by the two companies from the general public throughout the country, without adequately informing them about the risks involved in the instruments. The issuance was allegedly done in contravention of the provisions of the SEBI's ICDR (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations and PFUTP (Prohibition of Fraudulent and Unfair Trade Practices).

She's also the least reprehensible of the main contenders and has the fewest skeletons in her closet. Kendall, played by Jeremy Strong, is a tortured soul whose sobriety <a href="https://www.insider.com/dark-personality-traits-in-succession-characters-explained-by-psychologists-therapists-2023-4">and sanity remains an open question</a>. He's an egomaniac with daddy issues so deep they rival Hamlet's. He also <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2018/08/succession-hbo-season-finale-car-accident" target="_blank" rel="noopener">left a man for dead in season one</a>. Roman, played by Kieran Culkin, is sniveling, reckless, and impulsively creepy. He also sent pictures of his genitalia to a senior colleague. Not a good look <a href="https://www.insider.com/anthony-weiner-released-from-prison-after-nearly-15-months-2019-2">for anyone in power</a>.<div type="image" title="Sarah Snook in the fourth season of HBO's &quot;Succession.&quot;" height="1277" width="1702" msid="100569181" hostid="261" sizebytes="135240"></div>Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.insider.com/alan-ruck-career-second-wind-married-mireille-eno-2023-3">Connor, played by Alan Ruck, was never in the running</a>. His focus is on the White House, or, erm, an ambassadorship to Slovenia.Shiv, on the other hand, is tough, intelligent, and brass-knuckled. "She is seen as less authentic, and that is actually a strength," <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/key-attributes-inclusive-leader-professor-business-psychology">Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic</a>, a professor of business psychology at University College London and at Columbia University, told Insider in an email. "Authenticity, in the sense of acting without filter or restraint, can be a liability in business," he said. "So the fact that she is seen as someone who fakes authenticity in order to be strategic is actually a power move." Shiv being a woman in a <a href="https://www.insider.com/women-sexism-experiences-hollywood-misogyny-entertainment-industry">sexist and male-dominated industry</a> is no doubt a challenge, but some real-world research suggests it could be a benefit. <a href="https://hbr.org/2023/03/what-hbos-succession-can-teach-us-about-negotiating" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Francesca Gino</a>, a professor at Harvard Business School — <a href="https://hbr.org/2023/04/what-succession-can-teach-us-about-regret" target="_blank" rel="noopener">and avid "Succession" watcher</a> — has conducted <a href="https://www.hks.harvard.edu/publications/conversational-receptiveness-improving-engagement-opposing-views" target="_blank" rel="noopener">research that shows how women leaders have superior relational skills</a>. They tend to be better at nurturing trust and highlighting commonalities between stakeholders, which results in them resolving conflicts more quickly. "Shiv seems to be a person who gets relationships," Gino told Insider. "She's savvy. She has strong emotions but she's also reasonable. She seems a little more thoughtful compared to her brothers."True, Shiv has spent the least amount of time at Waystar, but that, too, could be an advantage, Kevin Groves, professor at Pepperdine's Graziadio Business School, told Insider. "She is someone that has a deep understanding of the company culture but also brings somewhat of an outsider's perspective," he said. "She's someone who could contribute new ideas and is not so set in the old ways of how the company operated under Logan."Of course, with all the attention we pay to the backbiting Roy family, there are perhaps even more titillating nepotistic dramas playing out in real life. Take, for example, the kids of <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-bernard-arnault-lvmh-legacy-resembles-succession-2023-5">Bernard Arnault, the world's richest person</a> and the head of the luxury behemoth LVMH, who is auditioning his progeny <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/bernard-arnault-worlds-richest-children-lvmh-ceo-f7a67a03" target="_blank" rel="noopener">over their roles in the company</a> whose brands include Louis Vuitton, Fendi, and Tiffany &amp; Co., to name a few.The media baron and inspiration for Logan Roy, Rupert Murdoch, the head of News Corp, also has stirred speculation over <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2023/04/rupert-murdoch-cover-story" target="_blank" rel="noopener">which of his children might succeed him</a> at the top of the home of Fox News.In the meantime, we're rooting for Shiv, with full knowledge that twisty turns are likely. Chamorro-Premuzic, the author of "<a href="https://affiliate.insider.com?h=212ccfd1fe3d097125c885df1391a0692cf664f9a3f620bcf82cb275e8726f30&amp;postID=6470d72475c45f4a9b71406c&amp;site=bi&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Faffiliate.insider.com%2F%3FamazonTrackingID%3Dbiauto-41553-20%26h%3De3acb033f19aaf3288f5bc37c772940c56472adf5546f790d9c22a23b280af76%26postID%3D5e20953062fa8116bf032e2d%26site%3Dbi%26u%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.amazon.com%252FWhy-Many-Incompetent-Become-Leaders%252Fdp%252F1633696324%252F%26platform%3Dbrowser%26sc%3Dfalse%26disabled%3Dfalse%26tag%3Dbisafetynet2-20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Why Do So Many Incompetent Men Become Leaders?

"Greg represents the hyperrealistic case study of the mediocre man failing upwards," he said.

None of the Roy children deserve to succeed Logan but I'm hoping it's Shiv

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Elon Musk announced Saturday that Twitter would be rebranding to X.</li><li>And CEO Linda Yaccarino shared a lengthy announcement pitching a wide-ranging vision.</li></ul>Elon Musk announced Saturday that <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-boot-twitter-brand-bid-adieu-all-the-birds-2023-7">Twitter would be rebranding to X</a>, replacing its bird logo and doing away with identifiable phrases like "tweet."Many Twitter users aren't totally on board with the move, resulting in CEO Linda Yaccarino's verbose statement being compared with a cringeworthy business pitch featured in <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/what-succession-gets-right-about-real-life-billionaires-2023-5">"Succession."</a>"X is the future state of unlimited interactivity – centered in audio, video, messaging, payments/banking – creating a global marketplace for ideas, goods, services, and opportunities," she <a href="https://twitter.com/lindayacc/status/1683213895463215104" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted</a> Sunday. "Powered by AI, X will connect us all in ways we're just beginning to imagine."That wide-ranging vision is tied to Musk's frequent reference to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-teases-twitter-everything-app-ambitions-with-x-tweet-2023-4">making X an "everything app"</a> — seemingly <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-x-everything-app-twitter-details-2022-10">inspired by China's WeChat</a>. It's also similar to a confused, unfocused idea from Season 4 of "Succession," the hit comedy-drama that follows the owners of a media conglomerate.Seeking to escape their father's shadow, three of the Roy siblings come up with their own idea for a company called "The Hundred."Kendall Roy, played by Jeremy Strong, describes it as "Substack meets Masterclass meets The Economist meets The New Yorker." Now, social-media users are joking that Yaccarino's tweet was just as convoluted, if not more so, than the Roy siblings' venture — which never came to fruition. Noah Shachtman, the editor-in-chief of Rolling Stone, <a href="https://twitter.com/NoahShachtman/status/1683226914956140544" target="_blank" rel="noopener">quipped</a>: "[Kendall Roy voice] It's, y'know, Venmo meets Clubhouse meets Ebay meets ChatGPT.""Enjoyable to imagine Kendall Roy saying this to investors," said another <a href="https://twitter.com/minakimes/status/1683218666488492032" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweet</a>, which has been seen 2 million times.Bailey Carlin, a social-media consultant, <a href="https://twitter.com/BaileyCarlin/status/1683219330471800832" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shared</a> a screenshot of a scene where Kendall stood up to his father, pitching a company as "a portfolio of online brands and digital content" rather than a website. Twitter's bosses might have grand, utopian ideas for the future of X, but to many users, their pitch sounds like nothing more than jargon-filled business talk designed to be mocked.Insider reached out to Twitter for comment but didn't immediately hear back.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Trump wants Rep. Chip Roy to face a GOP primary challenger.</li><li>But there's one major problem: The deadline to launch a campaign was over a week ago.</li></ul>Former President Donald Trump wants Republican Rep. Chip Roy out of Congress. But he's a little late to the punch.In a Truth Social post on Monday night, Trump <a target="_blank" href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/111605092319569772">asked</a> whether any "smart and energetic Republican" might be interested in launching a primary challenge against the Texas congressman, who Trump dubbed a "RINO" — a "Republican In Name Only.""For the right person, he is very beatable," wrote Trump. "If interested, let me know!!!"The problem: The <a target="_blank" href="https://www.sos.state.tx.us/elections/voter/important-election-dates.shtml">filing deadline</a> for primary candidates in Texas was over a week ago, on December 11. Roy is set to run unopposed in the March 5 primary election, and given the conservative bent of his district, he's all but certain to be reelected next year.While Trump didn't give a reason for his desire to see Roy go, the subtext is unmistakeable: Roy is one of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/who-has-endorsed-ron-desantis-president-2024-republicans-florida-2023-5">just a handful</a> of Republicans in Congress who are backing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in the 2024 GOP presidential primary.Roy also happens to be campaigning for DeSantis in Iowa this week.At least one GOP colleague is already coming to Roy's defense — Rep. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/thomas-massie-oppose-israel-aid-hamas-attack-2023-10">Thomas Massie</a> of Kentucky, another DeSantis backer."This shortsighted effort to intimidate Chip will not work," Massie wrote on X.The Texas congressman is no moderate — he's a prominent member of the hardline House Freedom Caucus, and a frequent thorn in House GOP leadership's side.But the DeSantis endorsement isn't the only way that Roy's broken with Trump.Even after <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/chip-roy-trump-meadows-stake-heart-federal-republic-conspiracy-frenzy-2022-4">searching for examples of fraud</a> in the 2020 election, Roy ultimately voted to certify the results of that election, breaking with the majority of his colleagues.It's also not the first time Trump has suggested Roy should face a primary challenger.When Roy was mulling a bid for a House GOP leadership position in 2021, Trump <a target="_blank" href="https://www.texastribune.org/2021/05/13/chip-roy-leadership-donald-trump/">said</a> that the Texas congressman "has not done a great job, and will probably be successfully primaried in his own district."While Trump has largely avoided seeking to launch primary challengers to incumbent Republicans this year, he demonstrated his continued clout within the party during the 2022 midterms, when he backed successful challengers to several Republicans who voted to impeach him in the wake of the January 6 insurrection.A spokesman for Roy declined to comment.
