Hillary Clinton fell in a bathtub while visiting India for a book tour and fractured her wrist, according to a story from DNA India. 
Clinton was staying at the Umaid Bhawan Palace when she fell, the story said. The Umaid Bhawan Palace was the one-time home of the former royal family of Jodhpur.
News of the fall comes days after a video was widely circulated showing Clinton twice slipping down stairs at the Jahaz Mahal, an ancient retreat built as an inn to accommodate pilgrims who came to Delhi to visit Muslim shrines there.


Clinton is in India on a book tour for her memoir, “What Happened.” She drew criticism this week when she said in a speech in New Delhi, that President Donald Trump has “quite an affinity for dictators” and that he “really likes their authoritarian posturing and behavior.”

Clinton went on to say Democrats “do not do well with white men, and we don’t do well with married, white women. And part of that is an identification with the Republican Party and a sort of ongoing pressure to vote the way that your husband, your boss, your son, whoever, believes you should.”
According to several sources, Clinton was taken to a private hospital, Goyal Hospital, around 5 a.m. (local time) Wednesday. According to Suresh Goyal, the CEO of the hospital, Clinton “was here for about 15-20 minutes.”
Clinton has had a history of suffering falls in recent years. Five months ago, she had to wear a surgical boot after breaking her toe. She said she fell as she ran down stairs carrying a cup of coffee. 

In 2016, she collapsed as she left a memorial service in New York City for the victims of the 9/11 attacks. Later that day she said she had been suffering from pneumonia and had become dehydrated at the service. Clinton suffered a concussion and a blood clot near her brain after a fall in her home in 2013.
Trump attacked Clinton’s health during the campaign, saying the former secretary of state was not well enough to serve as president.

Lisa Bonet Praises Husband Jason Momoa for His 'Rare Form of Masculinity' Getty Images Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet secretly tied the knot last month after 12 years together, but it turns out the Justice League star, 38, has been pining for his bride for much longer than that. “I was 8-years-old and I saw her on the TV and I was like, ‘Mommy, I want that one,’” he quipped to James Corden on Thursday night’s The Late Late Show . “I was like, ‘I’m going to stalk you for the rest of my life, and I’m going to get you.’ I’m a full-fledged stalker.” He noted the Bonet, 49, is aware of his obsession now, but added, “I didn’t tell her that until we had two babies otherwise it would have been creepy and weird. I’ve always wanted to meet her. She was the queen always.” He recalled the first time he met his wife at a jazz club through mutual friends.  WATCH: Jason Momoa Dishes on His Secret Wedding to Lisa Bonet: 'Some A**hole Leaked It' ...

Buhari orders forensic audit of NDDC activities President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday ordered a forensic audit of the operations of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) from 2001 to 2019. The President was worried by the persistent criticisms of the operations of the NDDC. Buhari gave the directive while receiving governors of the states that make up the Commission led by Governor Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa State. In a statement by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Chief Femi Adesina, Buhari said what is on the ground in the South south region does not justify the huge resources that have been made available to the organisation. “I try to follow the Act setting up these institutions especially the NDDC. With the amount of money that the Federal Government has religiously allocated to the NDDC, we will like to see the results on the ground; those that are responsible for that have to explain certain issues. “The projects said to have been done must be...

These officials flouted lockdown rules in Myanmar, Malaysia, and the Philippines

These officials flouted lockdown rules in Myanmar, Malaysia, and the Philippines Lockdown restrictions were enforced by many countries across the world to contain the spread of COVID-19, and Southeast Asia has hosted some of the harshest. Most quarantine protocols require residents to stay at home, while mass gatherings are typically prohibited. In Malaysia and the Philippines a particularly strict enforcement of these measures saw thousands of arrests and heavy penalties for violations from March onwards. But a number of government officials were caught violating the very quarantine protocols they were supposed to oversee. Global Voices looked into some of these cases, and their outcomes, which highlight how rules apply to ordinary citizens more than to powerful politicians. We also considered a case in Myanmar that showed how religious discrimination can have a bearing on the application of the law. Malaysia: ‘Disparity in sentencing’ Malaysia has...
