Priyanka Chopra sizzles in an array of bikinis as she celebrates her 43rd birthday in the Bahamas with husband Nick Jonas and daughter Malti, three
The actress has been joined by her husband Nick Jonas and their daughter Malti, three, in the idyllic location.
She showed off her incredible figure in a blue and white striped number for one snap as she strolled into the ocean.
In another she wore a flattering yellow two piece while posing on an ocean swing as Nick and Malti stood nearby.
She also looked stunning in a floaty bright red dress as she showed off an elegant evening look.
The brunette beauty penned in the caption of her post: 'Winning at life. Grateful. Thank you all for the birthday wishes, messages and calls. My heart is full.'
She was enjoying the well-deserved break after a busy few months promoting her recent action-comedy Heads Of State.
Last month she joined her costars John Cena and Idris Elba at the US premiere, which was held in Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center in New York City.
John stars in the Amazon Prime Video film as a blockbuster action star who later becomes the President of the United States.
Idris plays a former commando who rises to become Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, but despite his country's longstanding 'special relationship' with the US, the two world leaders have an ongoing rivalry.
Their differences don't last long though when both become the targets of a global conspiracy, and Priyanka joins the fray as an MI6 agent who is ordered to keep the two leaders out of harm's way.
Filming began in 2023 in London before moving to Liverpool, France and then on to Serbia.
Paddy Considine, Stephen Root, Carla Gugino, Jack Quaid, Sarah Niles and Richard Coyle also star.
The film was produced by Safran Company's Peter Safran and John Rickard. Elba and Cena are both also executive producers, along with Marcus Viscidi.
The script was written by Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec, from draft by Harrison Query.
Miley Cyrus recently gushed about Priyanka and her husband Nick Jonas - who Miley dated as a teenager.
The Flowers singer, 32, reminisced on the time she dated the Jonas Brothers member, also 32, when they were both Disney stars and opened up about their current relationship.
During an appearance on the Every Single Album podcast, Cyrus said that there's no bad blood between them despite their bad breakup, which she went on to describe in detail.
'I like Nick, I'm into him. He's married with children. We're all moving on. Everything is good in the world,' she said on the podcast.
Then, she jokingly added, 'Niley for life,' as she referenced their past couple name.
Nearly two decades ago, Cyrus and Jonas dated from 2006 to 2007 before briefly reconnecting in 2009.
The Hannah Montana alum's songs, 7 Things and Before the Storm, are rumored to be about her relationship with him.
During her podcast appearance, she opened up about their breakup after they dated on-and-off nearly two decades ago.
She admitted that their first split left her 'distraught' and 'sobbing' before explaining why they mutually decided to break up.
She said that 'part of the reason we broke up' was because he was going on tour with his band instead of opening for her.
'He was, like, separating himself from the Disney thing, and I wanted him to take me on the tour,' she recalled. 'Like, 'Why don't we do it together? I don't understand why you're leaving me.''

Becky Hill flaunts her jaw-dropping figure in a black bikini as she larks about with pals while celebrating her hen do in Lake Como ahead of tying the knot with fiancé Charlie Gardner
Becky Hill looked sensational as she slipped into a tiny black bikini while celebrating her hen do at the swanky Filario Hotel in sun-soaked Lake Como on Monday. The songstress, 31, who announced her engagement to fiancé Charlie Gardner in January 2022, flaunted her jaw-dropping figure in the tiny two piece as she larked about with her huge bridal party. The group enjoyed a spot of swimming and beaming Becky floated in a huge rubber ring before cheekily posing with an inflatable on her head. Back on shore the bride-to-be was showered with gifts including a heartfelt memory book full of photos and personal messages. The False Alarm hitmaker showcased her gym toned physique before later changing into a chic plaid maxi dress and trendy white trainers. Becky, who shot to fame on The Voice Uk in 2012, revealed she was engaged after Charlie popped the question while on a romantic holiday in the Maldives. She made the happy announcement with a slew of snaps of the happy couple posted to Instagram and wrote: 'turns out he actually does like me' followed by a diamond ring emoji. She then revealed that she wanted to have a 'sick' music festival-style wedding when the pair tie the knot. Becky told The Sun in 2022: 'We are having a festival of course! We are going to have a sick festival with an acoustic tent, a dance tent, a pop tent.' Asked if big names such as David Guetta and Little Mix would perform at the festival, Becky said: 'I'd like to think so. As long as they don't all need paying, yes. I'll be like, 'I'll give you cake'. Just let me get album two out of the way.' Commenting on Charlie's marriage proposal, she added: I was like, 'Shut the f*** up!' It was mad. He drew a heart in the sand on a desert island. The engagement came after Becky spoke to Daily Mail and admitted finding going abroad 'especially difficult' due to archaic attitudes towards her 'queerness '. A reclaimed slur, the umbrella term is used by anybody who does not identify as heterosexual or the gender binary. Becky declared herself a member of the LGBTQ+ community, however was left feeling perplexed following an interview in Poland. The group enjoyed a spot of swimming and beaming Becky floated in a huge rubber ring before cheekily posing with an inflatable on her head The kooky star appeared to having a wonderful time as she celebrated with her friend She then revealed that she wanted to have a 'sick' music festival-style wedding when the pair tie the knot The False Alarm hitmaker showcased her gym toned physique before later changing into a chic plaid maxi dress and trendy white trainers She exclusively told Daily Mail: 'One of the things that I found especially difficult is talking about my queerness in different countries. 'I recently went to Poland and I was asked about being queer in an interview and what it meant considering I had a boyfriend who was in a heterosexual relationship.' The Wish You Well songstress continued: 'I answered it very honestly - as I would always answer any question I get asked. 'But it's difficult when attitudes in certain areas of the world haven't been brought up to the same date as us. 'Everybody's got to come into the 21st century, everybody's got to get used to the idea that queer people are here and not going anywhere.' 'Hopefully people will start to love the queer community as much as I do.' She previously told Attitude: 'I felt a bit like an imposter because I've had a boyfriend for five and a half years… I feel much better now I am under the queer umbrella. 'I also think it's important for women to own their queerness, instead of over-sexualising their desire for other women for the sake of straight men. 'I know I enjoy sleeping with women, to what degree of that I don't know, but I'd rather call myself queer and name it for what it is, than have men fantasise over the idea that I might be bi-curious or like a cheeky threesome here and there.' She announcemed her engagement with a slew of snaps of the happy couple posted to Instagram and wrote: 'turns out he actually does like me' followed by a diamond ring emoji. Last year Becky astonishing net worth has been revealed - 12 years after losing out in the final of The Voice UK. After soaring to fame following her stint on the show, the music career has gone from strength to strength and so too has her bank balance, with it being said she's amassed a whopping fortune of £6.6 million. Becky's multi-millionaire status is owed largely to her jam-packed schedule of live shows, including a very lucrative residency in Ibiza, with The Sun reporting that Becky's earnings hit an eye-watering £313,000 per month. Records filed at Companies House reportedly show that the Lose Control hitmaker's primary business, EKO Music disclosed profits of £4.1 million, with the sum boosted by an additional £437,224 from Becky's newest venture, EKO Entertainment LLP. Collectively, Becky's companies have gained a steady income of £1,915 in daily profits over the past year.

Britain's new role as a bastion of black culture
One of the great works of journalism to have come out of the Jamaican-British encounter is Journey to an Illusion by the late Donald Hinds. Published in London in 1966, the book is made up of a series of interviews with Commonwealth citizens who had settled hopefully on these shores after the war. Hinds, who was born in Jamaica in 1934 and worked in London as a bus conductor, was disappointed to find that the British were not only unmindful of the Commonwealth, but disinclined to help African-Caribbean immigrants. (Gallingly for him, Italians in the Soho confectionary business were extended a warmer welcome, even though they had fought on Hitler's side.) Inevitably as a 'clippie' on double-deckers, Hinds was exposed to racism. African-Caribbean folk were not that numerous in 1950s London and an entire week could go by without Hinds seeing another black face. Yet London Transport played its role, he believed, in breaking down race prejudice as buses allowed the public to encounter people from the Caribbean for the first time and even (heavens!) talk to them. But the sense of camaraderie did not last. The UK was convulsed by race 'disturbances' in 1958, when tensions erupted first in Nottingham, then, more grievously, in London. White youths ('Teddy Boys' to the press) set out to assault the black and Asian colonial inhabitants of Shepherd's Bush and the area then known as Notting Dale, between the factories of Wood Lane and the now middle-class streets of Notting Hill. Oswald Mosley's neo-fascist Union Movement rallied Britons to go out 'nigger-hunting'. So began four days of some of the worst civil unrest the UK was to see until the Brixton riots three decades later. In her exhaustive history of the Anglophone Caribbean, Imaobong Umoren relates that any slender confidence British Caribbean migrants might have felt as citizens of the country of 'Missus Queen' was undermined by the riots. Overnight they found themselves denigrated as unwanted 'coloured' room-seekers. (Back in the Caribbean, the term 'coloured' applied to people of mixed race, but in the UK it was one of the basic words of ghastly genteel boarding-house culture.) Mosleyite calls for racial purity puzzled Hinds and other newcomers from the West Indies, as racial mixing was not new to them: Chinese and Indian indentured labourers had long married into the local African slave-descended populations. Hinds (who died in Brixton in 2023 at the age of 89) was one of the first to champion the English-speaking Caribbean as a multi-shaded community of nations, at once parochial and international in its collision of African and European cultures. Jamaica's own intermingling of Asian, white and African bloods in some ways made it a more 'modern' society than postwar Britain. Hinds, ahead of his time, could see that the UK, too, was going to be racially mixed one day. Umoren, a professor at the LSE, argues that the problem of the colour-line continues to haunt British-Caribbean relations. An insidious 'shadism' has ensured that a minority of white or near white (what Jamaicans call 'local white') inhabitants still control the plantations and other industries. Planter snobberies were shaped and defined by colour (or, more properly, ethnicity). In order to bolster their social status, slave-owners evolved an elaborate ranking of skin, beginning with their eminences at the top and descending to the 'salt-water Negro' at the bottom. Between black and white were mustees, mustaphinos, quarteroons, octoroons and Sambos –a derogatory term for the children of 'mulatto' and African mix. Aspects of this racialised system have survived, says Umoren. She deploys an armoury of off-putting campus-brand jargon ('hereditary racial slavery', 'male heteropatriarchy', 'racial-caste hierarchy') to make her point. The so-called 'white élites' of Georgian England could do no good at all. Even the abolitionists under William Wilberforce were 'middle class religious zealots' who culpably derided African culture. The only hope of salvation for the formerly enslaved lay in their move white-ward into Christianity. Yet, as Umoren acknowledges, many African Caribbeans today hold romantic opinions of the British Empire, or at least display a pious Anglo-patriotism (call them 'Afro-Saxons'). For them, Britannia was not all 'white supremacist ideology' and 'racial capitalism'. An example? Though the death penalty still exists in Jamaica, most capital punishments are overturned in London by the Privy Council, Jamaica's court of Final Appeal. Thus an ancient British institution comprised of mostly 'élite' white Law Lords becomes an unlikely defender of human rights in Jamaica. Such paradoxes are part of the Caribbean confusion: Victorian moralities that have long disappeared in the UK linger on in its former dependencies. Lanre Bakare's We Were There, a bracingly readable social history, celebrates the UK as a bastion of black culture, black music and food. Most white-owned grocery stores in the UK now stock tins of Caribbean ackee, bottles of pepper sauce and carrot juice. The 'Jamaicanisation' of London's old Caribbean quarter – its boundaries roughly at Marble Arch, Bayswater, Notting Hill and Ladbroke Grove – quickened apace after Jamaica's independence in 1962, when more of its inhabitants left for the UK. Britain's indigenous culture is now so deeply influenced by the island that a Jamaican inflection is hip among white British teenagers. (Dizzee Rascal, whose scratchy beats appeal to both white and black audiences, has 'Londonised' a Caribbean tradition of storytelling that was previously found in reggae, calypso and ska's shuffle beat.) For good or ill, Jamaican culture is youth culture in British cities. Bakare, who was born in West Yorkshire to a Nigerian father and a mother from Leeds, is well placed to write about Lagosian high-life guitar, ragga, reggae, jazz funk and hip-hop. He conjures the black music and racism that was occasionally rife in the Liverpool and Cardiff docks, as well as in Manchester and Edinburgh during the 11-year Thatcher premiership. While punk took hold in London in the late 1970s, a black American dance music craze exploded in Wigan and other inner city areas in the north where African Caribbean migration was at its most dense. Tony Palmer's astonishing Wigan Casino documentary, shot in the Greater Manchester dancehall during the winter of 1977, inspired Bakare, he says, to write this book. It shows a Northern Soul all-nighter in full, amphetamine-amped swing. The dancers are manifestly almost all white, but, as Bakare points out, Northern Soul song lyrics often communicated aspects of the black consciousness movement espoused by Stokely Carmichael and other African-American civil rights activists. (The video for Pulp's current Motown-like single 'Got to Have Love', appropriately, uses footage from the documentary.) In vivid, well-written pages, Bakare considers the British countryside as a last enclave of whiteness, though things are changing. Black nature lovers are now represented by such groups as the London Caribbean Trekkers, Bristol Steppin Sistas and Peaks of Colour. In 1989, the Daily Telegraph's former editor Bill Deedes (who championed the use of the countryside by all) suggested that the rural Black Environmentalist Network come out in favour of field sports: 'Blacks for Foxhunting' was the slogan he suggested, not entirely in jest. Bakare's excellent book captures the life and glory of a culture that changed the face of Britain for good.

Puerto Rico declares emergency and activates National Guard over water outages
Puerto Rico's governor declared a state of emergency on Wednesday and activated the National Guard after thousands of homes were left without water. Nearly 180,000 customers were affected at the peak of the outage late last week. As of Wednesday, nearly 3,000 customers were still without water, including nearly a dozen hotels, according to Gov. Jenniffer González. The problem has angered many on the island of 3.2 million people, especially because the state water and sewer authority has declined to name the company responsible for damaging a main water line while repairing a road last week. Municipal officials have set up water distribution points and have gone home-to-home to distribute drinking water, with the National Guard now expected to help with those duties. 'As long as I have 11 hotels without water and residents without service, of course we have an emergency,' González said. The governor also named a special coordinator charged with stabilizing the water system, investigating the water and sewer authority and determining how the incident occurred. He is expected to issue a report in the next 10 days. González said that the water and sewer authority's executive director, who has come under fire, would remain in that position. Before the widespread incident occurred, dozens of communities across Puerto Rico had long experienced issues with water supply. ____
