Trump Cautions Against Claims Of ‘Big Progress’ In Ukraine Talks: ‘See It Before You Believe It’

A day after US and Ukrainian officials met to discuss Washington’s proposal to end the war in Ukraine, US President Donald Trump on Monday suggested that “something good” might be unfolding, while simultaneously warning against assuming “big progress” in the talks. His comments come ahead of his 27 November deadline for Ukraine to accept the proposed settlement. Geneva Meeting Reviews 28-Point Draft Plan Senior US and Ukrainian officials met in Geneva to revise the 28-point draft peace plan, with Kyiv noting that the latest version includes some of its own proposals. Top Ukrainian representatives also met US Secretary of State Marco Rubio to assess whether Trump’s proposal could be viable. Trump’s Message On Truth Social In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote: “Is it really possible that big progress is being made in Peace Talks between Russia and Ukraine???” He added, “Don’t believe it until you see it, but something good just may be happening. GOD BLESS AMERICA!” His remarks followed a sharp criticism of Ukrainian leadership a day earlier for showing “zero gratitude” for his efforts. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky later responded, posting: “Ukraine is grateful to the United States, to every American heart, and personally to President Trump for the assistance that - starting with the Javelins - has been saving Ukrainian lives”. Zelensky, EU Leaders, Merz Comment On Progress In a joint statement, US and Ukrainian officials said they had prepared a “refined peace framework” following their discussions in Geneva. “The talks were constructive, focused, and respectful, underscoring the shared commitment to achieving a just and lasting peace,” the statement read. Speaking at a conference in Sweden on Monday, Zelensky welcomed “important steps” but stressed the need for further work. “In the steps we have coordinated with the side of the US, we've managed to keep extremely sensitive points,” he said. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said there was progress towards an agreement but noted that some issues remain unresolved. “While work remains to be done, there is now a solid basis for moving forward,” she said. European Council President António Costa echoed this, saying, “There is a new momentum in peace negotiations.” German Chancellor Friedrich Merz added that European approval of any settlement was essential. “It is important to us that there can be no peace plan for Ukraine if we do not give our consent to issues that affect European interests and European sovereignty,” he said. What The Peace Proposals Contain The initial 28-point plan presented by the United States last week called for Ukraine to give up territory, reduce its military strength, and commit to staying out of NATO. According to Bloomberg, Kyiv and its European partners countered that talks with Russia on any territorial exchange can begin only after the war halts along the current line of contact. Rubio also said the 28-point proposal had been drafted with input from Russia and included earlier contributions from Ukraine.

Tata Sierra Launch Tomorrow, What Would Be The Starting Price?

Tata Motors will launch the Sierra tomorrow and will also reveal the price as well as the powertrain details.  The new Sierra was revealed recently but many of the details were not revealed as tomorrow we will get the answers.  The new Sierra will be launched tomorrow first as an ICE SUV only which means with a combustion engine only. The EV version will come in later.  Tata Sierra Features The new Sierra will be coming with a new set of powertrains too and that includes a 1.5l turbo petrol and possibly a 1.5 NA petrol.  The turbo petrol variant is expected to produce 170bhp while gearbox options could include a DCT automatic.  The Sierra will be the first Tata to have the new 1.5l turbo petrol and later this powertrain will find its way into the Safari as the Harrier.  The other question is the price. The price is set to be between the Curvv and the Harrier while it could be in the same ballpark as the Creta.  The majority of the SUVs in this segment cost between Rs 11-24 lakh and we may expect Tata to price the Sierra within the same ballpark.  The features including three screens along with one screen for the passenger will also be revealed.  The new Sierra will also get a sound bar, new premium audio system, panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats, powered driver seat, ADAS, powered tailgate plus more.  Stay tuned for our report and pricing details from the launch as one of the most awaited new launches happens tomorrow.

Peshawar Suicide Attack: CCTV Captures Moments Of Deadly Blast Outside Paramilitary Headquarters

A video has surfaced capturing the moment a deadly explosion occurred outside Pakistan’s paramilitary force headquarters in Peshawar, an attack that left at least three security personnel dead on Monday. The blast took place at around 8AM on one of the city’s busy roads, after three suicide bombers attempted to storm the Federal Constabulary (FC) headquarters. According to officials, one attacker detonated himself at the main entrance while two others managed to infiltrate the premises before being killed in retaliatory fire. The newly emerged CCTV footage shows the sheer force of the explosion as panic spread across the area. UPDATE: At least 3 militants and 3 members of Pakistani security forces killed during suicide bombing and gunfight at Peshawar base. - factal pic.twitter.com/SGaH4xTZ1p — AZ Intel (@AZ_Intel_) November 24, 2025 CCTV Footage Captures Moment Of Deadly Blast The 45-second CCTV clip shows a guard seated beside a gate inside the paramilitary headquarters when a massive blast erupts just outside. The footage captures the immediate impact, with an injured man seen stumbling through the gate in the chaos that follows. Seconds later, several vehicles can be seen speeding away in an attempt to escape the blast zone. ABP News has been unable to independently verify the authenticity of the video. According to Dawn News, the attacker, wrapped in a shawl, approached the gate before detonating himself, while his two armed accomplices attempted to enter the compound. “Initially, three militants tried to attack the headquarters. One terrorist blew himself up at the gate, while two others tried to enter the premises but were gunned down by FC personnel,” City Police Chief Mian Saeed said, as quoted by PTI. Authorities Confirm Second Explosion Inside FC Compound The explosion was so intense that residents across several neighbourhoods reported hearing a loud, blast-like noise on social media. Pakistani authorities later confirmed that two explosions had been reported inside the FC headquarters, both of which were heard from a significant distance. "Two suicide explosions took place inside the FC headquarters, one at the main gate and the other near the motorcycle stand located within the premises," Inspector General of Police Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Zulfiqar Hameed told AFP. The timing of the attack coincided with an assembly at the compound, held for the first working day of the week. Hospital authorities stated that five people, including three civilians, sustained injuries in the incident, triggering widespread fear across nearby residential and commercial areas.

Serum-Skin Makeup: The Winter Beauty Trend That Gives You A Natural, Lit-From-Within Glow

(By Mr. Pravin Bera) Winter’s dropping temperatures can affect how smoothly makeup sits on the skin. Even the best foundation can look patchy or dull in dry air or low humidity. With serum-skin makeup emerging as a new beauty trend, a perfect winter base is no longer a struggle. It combines makeup and skin care to give you a natural, glowing finish that looks and feels great. ALSO READ: Menstrual Hygiene And Beyond: Building Lifelong Habits For Reproductive Health What Serum-Skin Makeup Really Means Serum-skin makeup focuses on giving priority to healthy skin. Instead of using thick primers and heavy foundations, the skin is prepared with hydrating serums that act as the base. This approach enhances texture, adds brightness, and helps makeup stay smooth throughout the day. It reflects a growing preference for products that offer both cosmetic and skincare benefits. The Power Ingredients Behind The Trend Most routines begin with a serum that hydrates and brightens the skin, often containing Vitamin C or a ceramide complex. These ingredients strengthen the skin barrier and add a natural glow. During winter, a ceramide or rice water serum helps retain moisture and prevents makeup from clinging to dry areas. Applying it before makeup keeps the skin smooth, fresh, and healthy. Building The Perfect Winter Base Next are lightweight moisturizers and day creams powered with SPF 30 protection. They help prevent sun damage and keep your skin feeling smooth. Once the skin is properly prepped, tinted moisturizers or BB creams mix in perfectly, giving the skin a sheer coverage that makes it look healthier. The goal is to embrace your real skin. How Korean Beauty Set The Tone Korean beauty brands have been leading the way in this movement by making products that multitask. Their gel creams, hydrating serums, and jelly sheet masks work together to help your skin glow beautifully, reducing the need for heavy makeup. The results are simply flawless and radiant with a touch of creamy blush, a hint of gloss, softly defined brows Serum-rich skin trend perfectly blends hydration, comfort and that soft radiance without piling on a lot of products. It embraces a consistent skin-care routine in this harsh weather. With this , the trend has become a celebration of glow, softness and confidence, where skincare and winter glam work in harmony.

IPL 2026 Auction: Three Big Names At Risk Of Going Unsold In IPL 2026

The excitement around Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 mini-auction is building fast. Teams have begun fine-tuning their strategies, and fans are eager to see where the big names will land. However, not every established player is expected to find a buyer this season. Here are three cricketers who could go unsold, which may signal the end of their IPL journeys. 1. Deepak Hooda The first name on the list is Deepak Hooda, a right-handed middle-order batsman who has been part of the IPL since 2015. Despite the experience, his performances have dipped significantly. In his debut season with Chennai Super Kings, Hooda managed only 31 runs in seven matches, striking at just 75.61, which led to his release. Even during his stint with Lucknow in 2024, he produced only one half-century. Experts believe Hooda still plays with an ODI-like approach in T20 cricket - a mindset that doesn’t match the modern IPL pace. As a result, he may go unsold this time around. 2. Moeen Ali Next is former England all-rounder Moeen Ali, who has already been released by Kolkata Knight Riders. The introduction of the Impact Player rule has further reduced his utility in the league. In the 2025 season, Moeen scored just 5 runs and picked up only 6 wickets in six matches for KKR. Before that, he represented Chennai Super Kings, but even CSK may hesitate to bring him back given his recent dip in consistency. 3. Rahul Tripathi The third player is Rahul Tripathi, who has also represented India internationally. After a strong start to his IPL career, his form has visibly declined over the last couple of seasons. With Chennai Super Kings in 2025, Tripathi got five opportunities but managed only 55 runs at a strike rate of below 100. In 2024 with Sunrisers Hyderabad, he recorded just one half-century. His absence from domestic cricket further weakens his case, making it unlikely that franchises will take a chance on him.

Auto Industry Shifts Focus To Premium EVs With 3 New Models Coming

The Auto Industry has now shifted focus to premium EVs and that is where the market lies with customers being more open to spend here. The premium EV segment above 20 lakh means that carmakers can experiment more with man launches. That is where Maruti Suzuki is also testing waters with its first EV which is due to be launched on December 2nd. To be made in India, the eVitara is a born EV and will come with two battery packs with the range being in excess of 500km. The eVitara also gets distinctive styling plus a new interior which differentiates the car from the other Maruti Suzuki offerings. New Premium EVs From Major Carmakers The next EV launch is also a premium big 7-seater which is the XEV 9S from Mahindra. This is the bigger brother to the XEV 9e and is the three row version. This is the more practical EV and the first three row all electric SUV which is also based on the bespoke EV platform not being derived from ICE cars. The XEV 9S will get a more spacious rear seat with more features like an electric boss mode and a more comfort oriented layout with a focus on space. The battery pack will be shared with the XEV 9e. Then you have the Sierra EV from Tata Motors also coming in. The Sierra has been one of the most awaited new cars and the Sierra EV will be based on a different platform than the Sierra ICE. The EV will also get different styling and a slightly different interior along with two battery packs. However, it could also be getting the dual motor layout from the bigger Harrier EV which means AWD. Hence, the market for EVs is now more active towards the premium space.

New 2025 Kia Carens Clavis Petrol Automatic Review: More Premium Now

The Carens always has been a big seller but Kia just made it more premium with the Carens Clavis so we thought we would spend a week driving this car to tell you if it is worth the money or not. This is a heavy facelift but actually looks like an all new car thanks to the new ice cube like headlamps plus the sort of EV like grille. Add the bigger 17-inch wheels and it has a better stance and it looks more purposeful for sure. The bigger change is on the inside though with a larger touchscreen, a new steering wheel, a new digital cluster and more features. Premium Features And Space This ramps up the premium quotient and we liked the panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats, powered driver seat, dashcam, ADAS Level 2 and the new 360 degree camera which again makes life easier. That said, we miss wireless Android Auto and CarPlay. The second row offers excellent headroom and good legroom too with amenities like a tray, sunblinds and the ability to slide the seats along with a Boss mode to move the front passenger seat too (no rear ventilated seats like on the Syros here). The inclusion of an air purifier was welcome in the times we live in today in Delhi! Compared to the other three row cars, the third row is actually accommodating too. Driving Experience And Practicality That said, with three rows up, the boot space is compromised but if not in use, the storage capacity goes up. On the move, the switchable controls on the dash take some getting used to but the smooth DCT automatic plus the petrol don't as it is easy to drive with a linear power delivery as you want in a family car. It is quiet and easy to drive in the city with a flat power delivery but the 1.5L turbo offers enough punch for comfortable highway cruising. The petrol will give you 12/13 kmpl in the city which is decent. The larger wheels help in the handling and the Clavis feels more direct even if the ride now has a slightly sharper edge at low speeds. With five passengers and luggage, the car was stable and comfortable too while it handled a hilly section quite well. The top-end at Rs 20 lakh plus is a well packaged family car which now offers better value with the interiors, more SUV like looks and the same practicality. No wonder it is now amongst the best selling Kia cars as for value for money, it is a better option than other three row cars.

'Arunachal Is Part Of China’: Indian Woman Harassed At Shanghai Airport Over ‘Invalid’ Passport

An Indian-origin UK resident has alleged that Chinese immigration officials detained and harassed her for hours at Shanghai Pudong Airport after refusing to acknowledge her Indian passport because it listed Arunachal Pradesh as her birthplace. Pema Wangjom Thongdok was flying from London to Japan on 21 November, with a scheduled three-hour layover in Shanghai. According to her, the ordeal began when immigration officials declared that her passport was “invalid”, insisting that “Arunachal Pradesh is part of China.” ‘India, India’: Passenger Says She Was Pulled Out of Line Recalling the incident, Pema told India Today that she had cleared immigration and was waiting at security when an officer approached her. “An official came and started screaming ‘India, India’, calling out my name,” she said. “She took me back to the immigration desk and said, ‘Arunachal, not valid passport.’” When Pema asked why her valid Indian passport was being rejected, the officer allegedly repeated, “Arunachal is a part of China. Your passport is invalid.” Confusion and Humiliation During an 18-Hour Airport Ordeal Pema said the explanation left her stunned. She noted that she had transited through Shanghai without any issues just last year and had even checked with the Chinese Embassy in London beforehand, which assured her that Indian travellers would face no problems. However, she alleged that several immigration staff members and China Eastern Airlines personnel mocked her, laughed at her, and even suggested that she “apply for a Chinese passport”. What should have been a short layover spiralled into an 18-hour ordeal. During this time, she claimed she was denied clear information, proper food, or access to airport facilities. She further alleged that her passport was withheld and that she was blocked from boarding her onward flight to Japan despite holding a valid visa. Unable to Move, Eat, or Book New Tickets Confined to the transit area, Pema said she was not permitted to rebook flights, buy meals, or move between terminals. She alleged that officials pressured her to purchase a new ticket specifically on China Eastern and hinted that her passport would only be returned after doing so. The situation, she said, caused financial losses due to missed flights and hotel reservations. Indian Consulate Steps In Eventually, Pema managed to alert the Indian Consulate in Shanghai through a friend in the UK. Indian officials later intervened and escorted her to a late-night departure from the city. Appeal to Indian Government for Action In a letter addressed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and senior officials, Pema described the incident as a “direct insult to India’s sovereignty and to the citizens of Arunachal Pradesh.” She has urged the Indian government to raise the issue with Beijing, seek accountability and disciplinary action against the immigration and airline staff involved, and push for compensation. She has also requested assurances that Indians from Arunachal Pradesh will not face similar hurdles during international travel in the future.

Menstrual Hygiene And Beyond: Building Lifelong Habits For Reproductive Health

(By Dr. Bani Kumar Mitra) Menstrual hygiene is not merely a matter of monthly management which forms the cornerstone of a woman’s lifelong reproductive health. From adolescence to menopause, how a woman cares for herself during her menstrual years influences not only comfort and confidence but also fertility, hormonal balance and gynaecological well-being. Young women frequently present with concerns such as irregular cycles, infections, or painful periods, many of which trace back to years of inadequate menstrual hygiene or limited awareness. Menstrual health goes far beyond the use of sanitary products; it encompasses nutrition, lifestyle, emotional wellness and regular medical guidance. Building healthy habits early creates a strong foundation for future reproductive wellness. ALSO READ: When To See An Orthopaedic Specialist: Early Warning Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore Understanding Menstrual Health And Its Long-Term Impact Menstruation reflects a woman’s internal hormonal rhythm. Irregular, painful or excessively heavy periods can often signal underlying conditions such as PCOS, thyroid disorders, fibroids or endometriosis. Ignoring these signs can lead to chronic hormonal imbalance or even fertility complications later in life.Maintaining proper menstrual hygiene helps prevent infections such as bacterial vaginosis or urinary tract infections, which can ascend to the reproductive organs if untreated. Such infections, though seemingly minor, may cause scarring or inflammation that interferes with conception in the future. Thus, menstrual hygiene is not just about managing bleeding it is about protecting one’s reproductive organs, maintaining hormonal health and ensuring long-term fertility. Healthy Menstrual Habits Every Woman Should Adopt Simple, consistent habits practiced during menstruation can have lifelong benefits for reproductive health. Use safe and suitable menstrual products: Choose between sanitary pads, tampons or menstrual cups depending on comfort and flow. Change them every 4–6 hours to prevent bacterial growth. Maintain genital hygiene: Wash with clean water and mild, pH-balanced cleansers. Avoid harsh soaps or perfumed products that can disturb natural flora. Eat nutrient-rich foods: Iron, folate and vitamin B12 help replenish blood loss. Include leafy greens, beetroot, dates, nuts and seeds in the diet. Stay hydrated and physically active: Adequate water intake and light exercise reduce bloating, cramps and fatigue. Monitor your cycle: Tracking helps detect irregularities early and enables timely medical advice. Prioritise rest and stress control: Chronic stress affects hormonal balance and menstrual regularity. Practices like meditation, deep breathing or yoga can help maintain emotional well-being. Breaking Myths And Encouraging Awareness Despite progress in education and healthcare, menstrual stigma continues to affect women across age groups. Myths such as avoiding bathing or certain foods during periods still persist in many communities. These misconceptions often prevent girls from maintaining hygiene and lead to health problems. Creating open, factual discussions around menstruation in schools, families and workplaces is vital. Awareness empowers girls to understand their bodies, seek medical help when needed and embrace menstruation as a natural, healthy process rather than a source of shame or restriction. Medical Guidance And Preventive Care Routine gynaecological check-ups are essential, even for young women. Menstrual irregularities, excessive pain or changes in bleeding pattern should not be ignored. Early diagnosis of hormonal disorders or infections helps prevent long-term complications like infertility or anaemia. For women with underlying conditions such as PCOS, thyroid dysfunction or obesity, menstrual management requires a personalised plan that includes dietary regulation, exercise and medical supervision. Vaccinations like HPV and supplements such as iron and folic acid further strengthen reproductive health.

World’s most dangerous material can ‘kill you in 2 days’ simply by looking at it for a few minutes

The Elephant’s Foot, a solidified mass formed beneath Chernobyl’s Reactor Four in 1986, once emitted nearly 10,000 roentgens an hour, enough to kill within minutes. Created from molten fuel and debris, it weighs about two tonnes and remains dangerously radioactive. Even decades later, it stands as one of the most lethal legacies of the disaster and a lasting reminder of the risks of nuclear failure.
