Bollywood actor Rishi Kapoor, famed for his romantic roles, has died of cancer aged 67.

He was part of the Kapoor acting dynasty which has long dominated Bollywood, the Hindi film industry.

The actor made a huge splash in 1973 with his first lead role in Bobby - a teenage love story.

He played the romantic lead in dozens of films for over two decades, after which he made a successful transition to character roles.

Rishi Kapoor debuted as a child actor in 1970 in his father Raj Kapoor's film, Mera Naam Joker.

Several of his films in the 1980s and 90s - Khel Khel Mein, Karz and Chandni - became massive box office hits.

He was a skilful dancer and some of his films had songs that are massively popular even today.

Kapoor made a successful on-screen pair with actress Neetu Singh. In one of Bollywood's most enduring love stories, they took that romance off-screen as well when they got married in 1980.

Their son, Ranbir Kapoor, is a successful Bollywood star in his own right.

While the nation remains at home - Google Doodle is one way to play a range of games online to help pass the time.

Today’s game (April 28) allows players to take part in cricket.

The game – which first appeared in 2017 – is basic stuff; you essentially click your mouse to take a swing of your bat, while the rest of the team does everything else for you.

But Google has given us some genuinely entertaining ‘games’ in the past. Sure, they might not match up to the blockbuster scale you might see on consoles, but they’re great at whiling away a few minutes of boredom.

Heck, older playable Doodles are even making a comeback in the midst of coronavirus. 

Google’s own archive allows you to go back and relive any Doodle from history, and as people’s tedium reaches new levels, they’re digging out the ‘classics’.

The winners of the BBC's Race Across the World have pledged £10,000 to help the street children they came across as they travelled through South America.

On Sunday, viewers saw uncle and nephew Emon and Jamiul Choudhury win the 54-day race by just 20 seconds.

They pipped husband and wife Rob and Jen in a nailbiting finish.

Emon and Jamiul immediately promised half of the £20,000 prize to charities after seeing children sleeping rough in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

They have since also reportedly decided to give £5,000 to Emon's family orphanage in Bangladesh.

"We decided at Sao Paulo that if we were to win, we'd donate at least half of the money to help the kids of Sao Paulo and of Brazil," Emon told BBC Breakfast on Monday.

Some of the millions of British workers furloughed during the coronavirus lockdown will be encouraged to take a second job picking fruit and vegetables, the government has said.

Giving the daily COVID-19 briefing, Environment Secretary George Eustice said only a third of the migrant labour needed to help carry out such tasks was in the country.

Although the international food chain was continuing to "work well", Mr Eustice said he expected there would be a need to recruit staff in the UK to harvest crops in the coming weeks.

"We're also acutely aware that we're about to start the British season in fresh produce, in soft fruits and salads.

"We estimate that probably only about a third of the migrant labour that would normally come to the UK is here, and was probably here before lockdown.

"We are working with industry to identify an approach that will encourage those millions of furloughed workers in some cases to consider taking a second job, helping get the harvest in June."

The Prince of Wales has released a photograph of him hugging Prince Louis as he marked his grandson's second birthday.

The black and white image, taken by the child's mother the Duchess of Cambridge, was posted on Prince Charles' official Twitter account with the message: "A very Happy Birthday to Prince Louis, who turns two today."

"The young Prince enjoys a hug from his Grandfather, The Prince of Wales."

It is not known when and where the picture was taken.

Charles has been staying at his Scottish home of Birkhall for much of the coronavirus lockdown, where he has recovered from COVID-19.

And the framed image was among several photos that could be seen behind him when earlier this month he opened London's NHS Nightingale Hospital via video link.

A series of pictures have also been released by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to mark their son's birthday, showing the young prince making a rainbow tribute poster and the couple joking about "Instagram v Reality".

A man who scooped a £58m lottery win celebrated by having a beer with his brothers - at a 2m (6ft 6in) distance.

Ryan Hoyle, 38, said he was "shaking" when he got an email informing him he had become a multi-millionaire in Friday's EuroMillions draw.

He drove to his parents' house, passing his phone through the window for them to "double-check" his numbers.

After confirming the eight-figure bonanza, he enjoyed a drink in the sunshine with his siblings.

Mr Hoyle, of Rochdale, Greater Manchester, said he first thought he had won £2.30 when he saw an email from the National Lottery on Saturday.

'It was real'

When he read the message, he said it "looked like a lot of numbers... I couldn't believe what my eyes were seeing".

He said he was "shaking and really needed a second opinion so... drove round to mum and dad's house".

"I kept a safe distance outside and passed the phone through the window for them to double-check for me."

"It was real - I had won £58m."

US Monitoring Intelligence That North Korean Leader is in Grave Danger After Surgery

The US is monitoring intelligence that suggests North Korea's leader, Kim Jong Un, is in grave danger after undergoing a previous surgery, according to a US official with direct knowledge.

A second source familiar with the intelligence told CNN that the US has been closely monitoring reports on Kim's health.

Kim recently missed the celebration of his grandfather's birthday on April 15, which raised speculation about his well-being. He had been seen four days before that at a government meeting.

Another US official told CNN Monday that the concerns about Kim's health are credible but the severity is hard to assess.

National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien said the US is "keeping a close eye" on reports about Kim's health.

"We're monitoring these reports very closely," O'Brien said during an interview with Fox News Tuesday. "As you know, North Korea is a very closed society," he said.
