David Cameron prepares to hand over to Theresa May


Bogra Sangbad Desk : David Cameron will leave Downing Street for the final time as PM later, with Theresa May waiting to replace him.

Mr Cameron will face his last Prime Minister's Questions in the Commons, before heading to Buckingham Palace to tender his resignation to the Queen.

After taking office, Mrs May will set about naming her own frontbench team.

India ad sparks debate on recognising sportswomen

Bogra Sangbad Desk : The online video made by Nike features 10 Indian sportswomen, as well as actress Deepika Padukone, who has spoken out against gender inequality.

In a widely shared Facebook post, she spoke of how sport helped in her struggle with depression.

Women's sport draws few Indian crowds or sponsors and gets little coverage.

Some of the Indian sportswomen featured in the ad include hockey player Rani Rampal, cricketers Harmanpreet Kaur, Smriti Mandana and Shubhlakshi Sharma, and footballer Jyoti Ann Burrett.

But many people felt they were unable to name many of the sportswomen featured.
