'Brand Modi' gets thumbs up as PM's party sweeps India polls
Rebounding from a self-inflicted banknote crisis to deliver his party a stunning victory in state polls, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's dominance mirrors that of India's early independence leaders and bodes well for his re-election in 2019, analysts say.

Putin aide: Russia impatient for improved dialogue with US
A Russian government spokesman expressed impatience on Sunday that bilateral relations with the United States have not improved more quickly since US President Donald Trump took office. Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov said his country's government is eager for improved US-Russian relations, calling it "unpardonable not to be in dialogue," as Moscow presses the new US leader to make good on vows to improve ties. "We certainly would expect our contacts to be more frequent, more in-depth, in order to sit and then talk to each other... because we had quite a significant pause in our bilateral relations," Peskov said in an interview that aired Sunday on CNN's "GPS" program.
