Donald Trump Jr's wife files for divorce
New York: Vanessa Trump, the wife of President Donald Trump's older son -- Donald Trump Jr -- has filed for divorce in a New York court after 12 years of marriage.
The couple has five children and has been struggling with domestic problems, apparently because of the prolonged absences of Trump Jr, from home.
The New York Post quoted the couple's friends, who said they had been expecting it for a long time. Now that the step has been taken, they expected it to conclude quickly, Efe news reported.
Vanessa Trump on Thursday went to the Manhattan Supreme Court to file necessary documents to divorce her 40-year-old husband, who heads his father's businesses after Trump de-linked himself from the organisation before the 2016 election.
Vanessa Trump, a 40-year-old former model, reportedly does not expect there to be a legal battle for custody of the couple's five children or over dividing up their assets.

K'taka govt. to take over 108 ambulance service from private control, announces Min. Dinesh Gundurao
Bengaluru: Karnataka’s Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao announced on Wednesday that the state government will take over the management of 108 ambulance services, taking them out of the hands of private agencies.
Until now, the 108 ambulance services were operated by private agencies despite being owned and funded by the government. "There were several operational problems under private management. Ambulance staff often faced delays in salary payments, and the government had to step in repeatedly to resolve such issues," Rao said.
He emphasized that the government had been bearing the entire cost of the service from fuel expenses to employee wages while the operations were outsourced to a private entity. The arrangement included a single command center for the entire state, which Rao said was inadequate for managing such a critical health service.
Highlighting the importance of the 108 service in saving lives during medical emergencies, Rao revealed that a pilot project to directly manage ambulances was successfully implemented in Chamarajanagar district. Encouraged by its success, the government is now ready to expand the model statewide.
Beginning next month, all government ambulances will be brought under the direct supervision of the health department. Within three months, the department also plans to take control of the command and control functions currently handled by private agencies. A central command center will be established in Bengaluru, along with district-level centers to ensure better coordination and faster response times.
Minister Rao also added that this transition will not only streamline operations and enhance service quality but also result in significant savings running into hundreds of crores for the state exchequer.
