US actor Ron Ely, best known for playing the role of Tarzan in the 1960s television show of the same name, has died aged 86.

"The world has lost one of the greatest men it has ever known - and I have lost my dad," the actor's daughter, Kirsten Casale Ely, said in an Instagram post.

Tarzan originally aired on NBC television network from 1966 to 1968, during which time the actor broke a number of bones and was reported to have been attacked by animals while performing his own stunts.

After retiring from acting in 2001, Ely became an author and published two mystery novels.

Ely made a brief return to acting for one television film, Expecting Amish, in 2014, where he played an Amish elder.

In the 1980s, he appeared in other hit television programmes including cruise ship-based comedy The Love Boat, as well as Wonder Woman with star Lynda Carter.

Born in Texas in 1938, Ely went on to marry his high school sweetheart in 1959, before divorcing two years later.

He was also known for hosting the Miss America pageant in the early 1980s, where he met his second wife Valerie Lundeen. The couple went on to have three children.

Lundeen was stabbed to death aged 62 by their son, Cameron, at their California home in 2019. He was then shot dead by police after being deemed a threat by attending officers.

Ron Ely filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the force, though the judge ruled the officers had acted in self-defence.

The Tarzan star died at his home in Los Alamos in Santa Barbara, California on 29 September.

Announcing the death in an Instagram post on Wednesday, the actor's daughter said: "My father was someone that people called a hero. He was an actor, writer, coach, mentor, family man and leader."

She added: "I knew him as my dad - and what a heaven sent honour that has been. To me, he hung the moon."

Justin Trudeau in trouble, gets ultimatum: Why Liberal MPs demanded Canadian PM's resignation

Justin Trudeau gets October 28 deadline: 

Pressure mounts for Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as demands for his resignation grew stronger on Wednesday. The Liberal Party Members of Parliament (MPs) gathered on Canadian Parliament Hill for a closed-door meeting with Justin Trudeau.

According to CBC News, during a closed-door meeting, dissatisfied Canadian parliamentarians expressed their concerns directly to Prime Minister Trudeau showcasing the rising discontent within the party.

The meeting was held as part of the weekly caucus meetings as the House of Commons is in session amid the growing discontent with Trudeau and his administration, the publication reported.

Justin Trudeau was given an ultimatum to decide his future by October 28.

During the caucus meeting, a document outlining the case for Trudeau's resignation was presented, although it did not specify any consequences if he failed to meet the deadline.

According to sources from Radio-Canada, 24 MPs signed an agreement calling for Trudeau to step down as the leader of the Liberal Party, as reported by CBC News.

Why are Canadian MPs seeking Justin Trudeau's resignation?

At least 24 of the 153 Liberal MPs have been holding meetings to secretly oust Justin Trudeau. The MPs have been seeking Trudeau's resignation in a bid to save their party from a potential poll debacle.

The public opinion surveys have suggested that under Trudeau's leadership, the Liberals are likely to face a political fiasco after Trudeau's Party was defeated in two safest constituencies in special polls held in June and September.

The MPs are also not happy with the preparations for the upcoming elections, which must be held before October 2025.

Another reason behind growing discontent among Liberal Party MPs is the declining trends in Justin Trudeau's popularity, which has sunk to an all-time low with rival Conservatives leading over Liberals by 19 points.

Fearing a massive defeat in the upcoming elections, some 24 MPs presented a document seeking Trudeau's resignation.

India evacuating more than a million people as Cyclone Dana nears

Authorities in India are evacuating nearly 1.5 million people from the path of an approaching cyclone in the eastern states of Odisha (formerly Orissa) and West Bengal.

Thousands of relief workers have been deployed to minimise damage from Cyclone Dana, which is expected to make landfall in the next 24 hours.

The storm is expected to hit the coastal areas with wind speeds of 100-120 km/h (62-74 mph).

On Wednesday, Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi said arrangements were in place to ensure the safety of residents in districts along the cyclone’s path.

State officials said they had prepared temporary relief camps with food, water and health facilities.

"We are fully prepared to deal with the storm. Don't panic, be safe and be careful," Majhi told the media.

Odisha is evacuating more than a million people from 14 districts, while West Bengal is evacuating over 300,000 people from coastal areas.

Officials from the two states and rescue teams are on alert. Schools in the coastal regions have been shut.

Flight operations from Bhubaneswar and Kolkata city airports have been suspended from Thursday evening to Friday morning and more than 200 trains have been cancelled as authorities brace for the storm.

Fishermen have been warned against venturing into the sea and contingency plans have been made for Paradip port in Odisha to ensure safety of the staff and people living nearby.

The weather department has said “heavy to very heavy” rainfall is expected along the coast for the next 24 hours.

Odisha and West Bengal experience severe storms and cyclones every year.

In 1999, more than 10,000 people were killed in a cyclone in Odisha.

Last year, at least 16 people lost their lives when a cyclone lashed India and Bangladesh.

Transportation services have already been affected, with scores of trains and flights cancelled.

India's weather department has said a depression over the Bay of Bengal is expected to turn into a severe cyclonic storm by Thursday evening.

Latest updates: 

Cyclone Dana has already started landfall and will continue till morning (25th October 2024)
