Court quashes Comey and Letitia James cases: Trump’s interim attorney pick ruled invalid

A federal judge has dismissed indictments against James Comey and Letitia James, ruling President Trump's appointment of interim US attorney Lindsey Halligan invalid. The judge cited Halligan's "defective appointment" as unlawful, impacting all actions taken under her tenure. While charges can be refiled, Comey's may be time-barred. The Justice Department plans an appeal.

These abandoned orcas in a French marine park are running out of time and every option looks grim

Two orcas remain trapped in algae-tainted tanks at the closed Marineland Antibes, with France’s legal deadline for relocation set for 2026, a timeline activists say the whales’ health cannot endure. Drone footage by Seph Lawless exposed the conditions and prompted urgent debate, yet every relocation option is stalled, rejected, unbuilt or bleak, leaving Wikie and Keijo running out of time.

IBSA a catalyst for global transformation: South African President Cyril Ramaphosa

Johannesburg, Nov 25 (PTI): The IBSA (India, Brazil, South Africa) bloc is a catalyst for global transformation, and embodies hopes of the global south, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has said. South Africa has assumed the chair of IBSA. "Together, we represent not only the aspirations of our own citizens, but the hopes of a Global South that seeks dignity, respect and partnership in shaping the future," Ramaphosa said at the IBSA Leaders' Dialogue on the sidelines of the G20 Leaders' Summit that ended in Johannesburg on Sunday. Ramaphosa was meeting Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi when he made the remarks. "The world in which we live is changing rapidly and dramatically," the president said, adding, the IBSA nations are ready to be part of global change, better future, and to shape the global agenda. "IBSA stands out as a testament to the durability of principled and constructive cooperation. Our grouping affirms that diversity is not a fault line but a source of strength. It reminds us that collaboration among equals is indispensable to global peace, prosperity and stability," Ramaphosa said. "Our cooperation is grounded in the daily realities of our people," he added, as he urged the partner nations to champion reform of the global governance institutions. The South African leader also called for reinvigorating commitments to climate action, deepening cooperation on just energy transitions, safeguarding food and health security, and ensuring an equitable distribution of benefits of technological progress. "We must position ourselves as co-architects of a more representative and responsive multilateral system. The structural fault in the global economy – the growing gap between the rich and the poor and deepening poverty and underdevelopment – can only effectively be addressed through a new paradigm of inclusive economic growth," Ramaphosa said. The themes he touched upon were reflected in a declaration adopted unanimously by G20 members, except the US, which did not participate after President Donald Trump's refusal. According to an analyst, Trump got a "slap in the face" after South Africa also refused to hand over the gavel for the next year's G20 Presidency to junior US officials, which the Trump administration had requested at the last minute. Meanwhile, Ramaphosa said, "Through initiatives like the IBSA Fund, we continue to demonstrate the practical value of our association, particularly in the assistance provided for those most in need." His comments came on the signing of a collaboration agreement on foundational learning as a follow up of the agreement that had been signed by the three IBSA Education Ministers. The president expressed hope that there would be an IBSA Leaders' Summit soon on a mutually-agreed date, as he called the grouping a "more than a forum for dialogue."

Islamist attacks on mystic singers spark sharp reaction in Bangladesh

Dhaka, Nov 25 (PTI): Several eminent Bangladeshi civil society figures on Monday denounced the arrest of a 'baul' singer on charges of "hurting" the public's sentiments and subsequent Islamists attack on fellow mystic minstrels in the past few days. They claimed that religious strife had increased since the ouster of the Sheikh Hasina government. "In the period following the July mass uprising (that toppled prime minister Sheikh Hasina's Awami League regime in 2024), religious extremism has surged," read a statement signed by 250 distinguished citizens. It said a particular group has emerged as a 'sole agent' of Islam, embarking on a purge across the country. The "weapon of choice" has consistently been the ruse of blow to the public sentiment and thus creating a "suffocating situation," it read. "Demolishing more than 200 shrines, declaring countless individuals murtad-kafir-shatim, exhuming and burning body, forcibly cutting the hair of bauls and fakirs on the street, harassing women over movement and attire, and disrupting programmes involving dance, music, theatre, and even sports and fairs -- eradication of people of different opinions and practices appears to be their objective," the noted members of the public said. The statement, signed mostly by academics who were opposed to the past regime, including economist Professor Anu Mohammad and Prof Salimullah Khan, said it was evident that those entrusted with maintaining law and order were not taking any effective steps to stop "mob terror or vigilantism." "Rather, from the outset they have encouraged it (mob violence) by maintaining silence -- trying to downplay incidents by calling them 'pressure groups', and even detaining victims or attacking survivors in fabricated cases," the statement read. Rights group Ain o Salish Kendra (ASK) in its statement expressed "deep concerns" over the attack on Sarkar's followers and admirers following his arrest. In another statement, the Bangladesh chapter of Berlin-based watchdog Transparency International said, the developments reflect a worrying rise in hostility toward religious harmony. Poet and activist Farhad Mazhar, warned that a new form of "religious fascism" was emerging in Bangladesh, as he joined a protest rally in the capital. "Arresting him (Sarkar) means arresting me. I will not accept this," said Mazhar, a staunch critic of the past Awami League regime. The poet happens to be the husband of one of advisory council members of interim government chief, Professor Muhammad Yunus. The detective branch of the police arrested popular 'baul' singer Abul Sarkar from a music show in western Madaripur on charges of "deliberately" provoking riots or violence and hurting religious sentiment. Sarkar was produced before a court in suburban Manikganj and jailed the same day. Two days later, Islamists under the banner of Tawhidi Janata, meaning 'people following monotheism', attacked fellow singers, leaving four of them seriously wounded on the northern outskirts of the capital Dhaka, during a street rally for Sarkar's release. According to academics and connoisseurs of culture, 'bauls', like Lalan Shah, with their syncretic, liberal worldview existed in what is now Bangladesh far longer than modern votaries of "puritan movements" which the Tawhidi Janata represents. Left-leaning student groups and cultural activists held separate torch marches in Dhaka and suburban Jahangirnagar University on Sunday evening to denounce attacks on singers. A group of baul singers and artistes on Sunday also staged a demonstration in front of National Press Club in Dhaka, protesting the arrest of Sarkar, fondly called "Moharaj" by admirers. Since last year, mobs under the banner of Tawhidi Janata have disrupted cultural gatherings and demolished multiple shrines of Muslim Sufi saints, who preached moderate Islam in the region, alongside carrying out attacks on minority and particularly Hindu communities. "I think the government's position here is problematic. They should be taking action against groups that resort to violence against others. And there is also a question of why such cases are being accepted so easily," lawyer Sara Hossain told The Business Standard (TBS) newspaper. She said over the past year "so much" was spoken about freedom of expression and questioned "what it means, how it was suppressed, and how it was enforced." Cultural affairs adviser of the interim government, Mostofa Sarwar Farooki, effectively a minister, in a Facebook post, said the "Ministry of Home Affairs is trying to handle this 'extremely delicate and sensitive matter' with the utmost responsibility." He, however, added that the repression of 'bauls' was not new and it happened under multiple governments, including the ousted Awami League era. "You will find numerous instances where Bauls were attacked — their hair cut off, their instruments destroyed." Yunus's press secretary Shafiqul Alam called the attack "deplorable," adding, the administration was actively working to identify those involved in the attack. The TBS newspaper, however, commented "condemnation without action rings hollow — especially when attackers operate publicly and with apparent impunity." The newspaper particularly called Farooki's statement a "rather poor defence for a government, which came on the promises of undoing all ills of Awami League."

How One Bold Career Move TRIPLED This Redditor’s Salary-From Rs 11 LPA To Rs 33 LPA!

A Reddit post charting an extraordinary rise from an annual package of Rs 11 lakh to Rs 33 lakh in just eight months has drawn wide attention online, resonating strongly with professionals navigating a difficult job market. A Stalled Career and a Tough Start to 2025 In his post titled “My job journey: 11LPA to 33LPA in 8 months”, the user recounted how the year began on a demoralising note. He said he had spent three years in the same role without a promotion and was ultimately placed on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP). “It was very demotivating,” he wrote. By March 2025, he had begun looking for new opportunities, only to be met with repeated rejections. Over nearly two months, he said he received “barely any decent interviews”, with most offers being either poorly paid or misaligned with his experience. Despite sending more than 1,000 applications, cold-emailing over 300 recruiters and refining his CV multiple times, he said employers were unconvinced by the brand name of his previous organisation. “I was constantly getting low-ball offers from other companies,” he said. A Portfolio Website That Changed Everything After months of stalled responses, the Redditor decided to try a different tactic. He created a “simple portfolio website” showcasing his skills, project links, achievements and a brief write-up of his work experience. “It wasn’t fancy — I coded it in a few hours because I’m a developer — but it was clean and personal,” he said. According to the post, this one shift altered the trajectory of his job search. After sharing the portfolio on LinkedIn, he said engagement spiked overnight. Recruiters reached out, network contacts messaged him directly and interview requests began arriving from major tech companies and well-funded start-ups that had previously overlooked his profile. Landing a Breakthrough Offer By July, the user said he had secured an offer with a two-fold salary increase from one of the top three global investment banks, and he joined the role last month. “It still feels unreal,” he wrote. My job journey: 11LPA to 33LPA in 8 monthsbyu/Who-let-the inIndiajobs The experience prompted him to begin developing a tool that converts any CV into a portfolio landing page, aimed at job-seekers who lack the time or coding skills to create one themselves. He said he posted his story in the hope that “maybe someone out there is stuck exactly where I was a few months ago”. Social Media Reactions The post quickly gained traction, with many users sharing their own frustrations with stagnant career growth. “Going through the same phase, there's been no appraisal bonus. It's been 3 years in the same company. Chasing LinkedIn and naukri for new jobs, and there is no end,” one user commented. Another wrote, “I think I have similar condition like you,” while a third added, “Great and congratulations bro! I'm starting my journey to become a Full Stack developer. Maybe this will help me a year down the line when my website will be full of projects! Thanks!”
