&lt;p&gt;The US health department said a second American national on the repatriation flight had also shown mild symptoms, adding that both passengers had travelled back in &quot;biocontainment units out of an abundance of caution&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;French Health Minister St&amp;eacute;phanie Rist said a woman was isolating in Paris and her health was deteriorating, with 22 contact cases traced.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;More than 90 passengers of the MV Hondius ship, currently docked in Spain&#039;s Canary Islands, are being repatriated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Three passengers - a Dutch couple and a German woman - have died after travelling on the vessel. Two of them are confirmed to have had the virus.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hantaviruses are usually carried by rodents, but human transmission of the Andes strain - which the World Health Organization (WHO) believes was contracted by some of the Dutch ship&#039;s passengers while in South America - is possible.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The atmosphere in the arena as the results came in was easily the most tense I&#039;ve experienced in my years of reporting on the song contest. People were praying. Some were crying. There were chants of &quot;Austria, Austria&quot; as the audience awaited the final scores.&lt;/p&gt;

Yuval Raphael, who received middling points from the competition&#039;s judges, outperformed every other participant when it came to the public vote.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A number of broadcasters subsequently queried Israel finishing so highly. They pointed to the fact that official social media accounts linked to Israel&#039;s government, including that of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, had been asking people to vote for its representative 20 times, the maximum the contest allowed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Their implication was that the public vote result was less a reflection of widespread public support for Raphael, and more the product of some people voting for Israel as many times as they could.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Portrait of a Young Girl, by Dutch artist Toon Kelder, is believed to have hung for decades in the home of Hendrik Seyffardt&#039;s family, Arthur Brand said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It had belonged to Jewish art dealer Jacques Goudstikker, who died while fleeing the Nazi invasion of the Netherlands in 1940, leaving behind a collection of more than 1,000 paintings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The case was brought to Brand&#039;s attention by a man who told him he was a descendant of Seyffardt and that he was &quot;disgusted&quot; to learn his family had kept the artwork for years.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Seyffardt was a Dutch general who commanded a Waffen-SS unit of volunteers on the eastern front before he was assassinated by resistance fighters in 1943.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Shortly after learning he was related to Nazi collaborator, the man approached his grandmother to ask about the painting&#039;s history.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She is said to have told him it had been purchased during World War Two and that it was &quot;Jewish looted art, stolen from Goudstikker. It is unsellable. Don&#039;t tell anyone.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The family, which changed their name at the end of the war, have admitted being in possession of the painting but denied knowing its true origin, according to a statement to Dutch media.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Painting looted by Nazis has vanished again, say Argentine police&lt;br /&gt;After learning of the painting&#039;s history, the family member contacted Brand through an intermediary, believing the only way for it to be returned was for the story to be made public.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The family member told Dutch outlet De Telegraaf: &quot;I feel ashamed. The painting should be returned to the heirs of Goudstikker.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In a statement to the same newspaper, his grandmother said: &quot;I received it from my mother.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But in recent days it has been grappling with a different kind of fame, one that has cast a shadow over local businesses and officials: the suggestion it could be ground zero for the hantavirus outbreak on the Dutch vessel MV Hondius.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The cruise ship&amp;nbsp;is&amp;nbsp;now anchored in Tenerife in Spain&#039;s Canary Islands&amp;nbsp;where passengers are being evacuated and flown home. It began its journey on 1 April, more than 6,000 miles away in Ushuaia in the province of Tierra del Fuego.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On board were 114 passengers and 61 crew members from 22 countries. While the virus is believed to have come aboard there, its precise origin - and the identity of those carrying it - remains unclear. That uncertainty has fuelled intense speculation in parts of the media.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One theory suggests a passenger may have been infected at a landfill site on the outskirts of Ushuaia, where tourists often visit to watch birds and where waste attracts rats and mice. Argentinian officials who spoke anonymously to some news outlets have said that is their leading hypothesis.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That suggestion, however, has not been well received locally.&lt;/p&gt;

            <link><![CDATA[https://rennews.hasibulhuq.com/article/new-test-news]]></link>
            <description><![CDATA[
                                    <img height="300" width="500" src="https://rennews.hasibulhuq.com/&lt;p&gt;Angel Delgadillo still welcomes travellers to Seligman, Arizona &amp;ndash; the town he fought to save when the &quot;Mother Road&quot; was forgotten.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On a dusty stretch of northern Arizona, about an hour west of Flagstaff, the neon glow of&amp;nbsp;Angel and Vilma Delgadillo&#039;s&amp;nbsp;Original Route 66 Gift Shop&amp;nbsp;still flickers to life each morning.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Inside, 98-year-old Angel Delgadillo greets the stream of visitors pouring in from tour buses with a handshake and a grin bright enough to power its own neon sign. Its barely 09:00 but the shop is already buzzing with people from around the world searching for a tangible piece of nostalgia: Route 66-themed T-shirts, mugs, water bottles, key chains and other tchotchkes filling the store floor.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Delgadillo&#039;s tiny barbershop sits at the front of the shop, anchored by a single vintage barber chair that once sat in his father&#039;s own barber shop. The mirrored walls are covered with the business cards from the men who Delgadillo gave haircuts and shaves to for 75 years.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Before Delgadillo, Route 66 was fading into history. But thanks to him, today it&#039;s the US&#039;s most mythologised highway. In 2026, the &quot;Mother Road&quot; will celebrate its 100th anniversary, but without the spark Delgadillo kindled, a centennial celebration wouldn&#039;t have happened at all.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The man who wouldn&#039;t let the road die&lt;br /&gt;Born in 1927, Delgadillo grew up in Seligman when its economy was centred around the Santa Fe Railroad. His parents had immigrated from Mexico a decade earlier, opening a pool hall and barber shop in 1922. The family was large; Delgadillo had three older brothers, three older sisters and two younger sisters.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;We had to make our own fun,&quot; he recalls. &quot;Travellers would come into town in Model A&#039;s and Model T&#039;s. My father&#039;s house was painted white, and we would all run to the side of the house to make shadows in the headlights and play, watching our shadows move as the car moved. I grew up at a time when America had a much simpler way of life.&quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;The glory days of Route 66&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dubbed the &quot;Mother Road&quot;, Route 66 was established in 1926 as part of the US&#039;s first federal highway system, connecting Chicago to Los Angeles. Stretching more than 3,940km (2,448 miles) and passing through Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California, it carried more than 250,000 people west during the Dust Bowl and became a defining American road trip. Today, it is a pilgrimage for domestic and international travellers who come to celebrate the freedom of the open road and classic Americana.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Back then, Route 66 was a two-lane highway running through the centre of town. &quot;The people travelling in the 1930s and early &#039;40s were breaking down all along the way because they were so poor. As soon as you helped them get back on the road, another one was coming,&quot; Delgadillo says. &quot;When people would come through on Route 66, they would stop and spend the night or stop and eat, and that was what travelling Route 66 was like back in those days. You&#039;re not trying to get anywhere fast, you&#039;re stopping in every town and enjoying it.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;By the time Delgadillo returned from barber college to take over his father&#039;s shop, Route 66 was thriving, with around 9,000 cars coming through town each day. His brother Juan opened the now-iconic&amp;nbsp;Delgadillo&#039;s Snow Cap, a drive-thru burger joint next door, while another brother, Joe, ran the garage and petrol station across the street.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Death of the Mother Road&lt;br /&gt;In the late 1950s, high-speed four-lane highways began replacing sections of Route 66 as part of the expanding Interstate Highway System. By the 1970s, much of Route 66 had been superseded, causing towns all along the original road to wither.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Our government finished building 100 miles (161km) of freeway from Kingman, Arizona, to Ash Fork, Arizona, on 22 September 1978,&quot; explains Delgadillo. &quot;At about 14:30 in the afternoon, traffic in Seligman stopped. They opened up the highway and the travelling public took to it like ducks take to water.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Almost overnight, the entire community of Seligman was forgotten. The town&#039;s economy relied on passing traffic, and when Interstate 40 opened just two miles south of Seligman, its businesses suffered. Making matters worse, there was only one sign mentioning Seligman on the new 75-mile (121km) stretch to Flagstaff, appearing after the city of Ash Fork, where drivers would have already stopped to refuel. Angel and his brother Juan petitioned local officials for more signage, but even with the addition of four more, Seligman and its residents still suffered.&amp;nbsp;Angel, Vilma and their four children couldn&#039;t afford to leave and start over somewhere else, even as business dried up and the family struggled to make ends meet.&lt;/p&gt;" alt="Meet the 98-year-old &#039;Angel of Route 66&#039;">

                                    <img height="300" width="500" src="https://rennews.hasibulhuq.com/&lt;p&gt;The two 18-year-olds were the focus of attention in the build-up to the game at Stamford Bridge, with Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca urging his player to ignore the comparisons.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Estevao&#039;s moment of magic came 10 minutes after half time when he received the ball on the right before beating two defenders and lashing it into the roof of Joan Garcia&#039;s net.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It was the 10th goal of the season for club and country for the winger, in his first season at Chelsea.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Estevao&#039;s goal gave Barcelona, already trailing 1-0 and down to 10 men, a mountain to climb and substitute Liam Delap put the game to bed in the 73rd minute, sidefooting home from close range.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Delap&#039;s goal was initially ruled out for offside but VAR overruled the on-field officials.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The lopsided scoreline was just reward for two-time European champions Chelsea, who were superior from the first whistle against a pallid Barcelona team.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The game had started at a frantic pace.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Enzo Fernandez bundled the ball into the net in the fourth minute only for the goal to be ruled out due a handball by Wesley Fofana.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Two minutes later Ferran Torres seemed certain to score at the other other end when clean through with only Robert Sanchez to beat but he skewed wide.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The game then drifted before Chelsea again upped the tempo.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fernandez again had the ball in the net but this time it was disallowed for an offside and moments later Pedro Neto blazed over the bar.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But the home side&#039;s pressure finally paid off in the 27th minute following a short-corner routine.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The ball was eventually whipped into the box and Barcelona tied themselves in knots, Jules Kounde poking the ball home for an own goal.&lt;/p&gt;

                                    <img height="300" width="500" src="https://rennews.hasibulhuq.com/&lt;p&gt;Bellingham netted Madrid&#039;s second goal in their 2-1 La Liga win over Barcelona and set up the first for Kylian Mbappe, after scoring the winner as Los Blancos beat Juventus 1-0 on Wednesday in the Champions League.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The midfielder missed several weeks at the start of the season after having the surgery to resolve a long-standing shoulder problem, and was not called up for England duty by coach Thomas Tuchel for matches earlier in October.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;We saw it against Juventus, and today, and against Getafe (last weekend), in the last week he&#039;s had three very good games,&quot; Alonso told reporters.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;At first you need a bit of time, some minutes to get in gear, and it&#039;s gone even better than we expected after the last international break, when he was here and not with the national team.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;Jude is a player who is about feelings, on communicating and connecting, and that&#039;s why he has played some very good matches.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bellingham&#039;s goal against Juventus was his first at the Santiago Bernabeu since April.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Madrid stretched their lead on champions Barcelona to five points at the top of the table thanks to Bellingham&#039;s winner, after Mbappe opened the scoring and Fermin Lopez equalised for the visitors.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Talk before the game was dominated by comments made by Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal suggesting Madrid &quot;steal&quot; and &quot;complain&quot;, but Alonso said his team did not need the extra incentive to beat Barca, after four Clasico defeats last season.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;The team was very motivated, we had been talking about how important the game was beforehand, not just for the three points,&quot; explained Alonso.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;(But instead) for where (we) came from, for having a good game, deserving to win, and I am very happy for the boys above all because they needed this feeling of being able to win a big game, like Clasicos are.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Madrid had three goals disallowed for offside and outplayed the Catalans in Alonso&#039;s first Clasico.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Winger Vinicius Junior impressed for Madrid but raised eyebrows when he complained vociferously when he was substituted.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;I don&#039;t want to lose focus on what is really important here... Vini brought a lot, like the other players,&quot; added Alonso.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;It&#039;s an important win and it could even have been bigger.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;" alt="Philippines urges Myanmar to grant ASEAN envoy access to Aung San Suu Kyi">

                                    <img height="300" width="500" src="https://rennews.hasibulhuq.com/&lt;p&gt;For 15 years, Mamata Banerjee and her regional Trinamool Congress (TMC) party seemed to embody a political law of India&#039;s West Bengal state: they always found a way to survive.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On Monday, that ended.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The firebrand populist&#039;s&amp;nbsp;defeat to the Bharatiya Janata Party&amp;nbsp;(BJP) ended her bid for a fourth consecutive term as chief minister - a feat that would have placed her alongside long-serving regional titans such as Jyoti Basu and Naveen Patnaik.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Banerjee&#039;s loss brings one of the most remarkable political careers in contemporary India to a moment of profound uncertainty - one that began with street protests and now culminates in the weakening of the political fortress she herself built.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dimunitive and draped in a plain cotton sari and rubber sandals, Banerjee hardly looked like a politician who would topple one of the world&#039;s longest-running elected Communist governments.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Modi&#039;s BJP conquers Bengal, one of India&#039;s toughest political frontiers&lt;br /&gt;The &#039;daughter of Bengal&#039; taking on Modi&lt;br /&gt;Yet in 2011 she defeated the Communist Party of India (Marxist) after 34 uninterrupted years in power, overturning a political order that had come to define West Bengal itself. The state, once India&#039;s intellectual and commercial capital, had drifted through decades of industrial decline and political fatigue.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At the time, The New York Times memorably called her&amp;nbsp;&quot;the blunt instrument knocking down their own Berlin Wall&quot;.&amp;nbsp;And&amp;nbsp;Time magazine&amp;nbsp;named her among the world&#039;s 100 most influential people.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Banerjee&#039;s rise was forged in Bengal&#039;s combative political culture, where elections often resemble prolonged street wars - her supporters called her the &quot;fire goddess&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Born to a lower middle class family in Kolkata, Banerjee entered politics through the student wing of the Congress party. By the 1980s she had become one of the state&#039;s most visible anti-communist faces, eventually breaking away from Congress to form the TMC.&lt;/p&gt;" alt="India&#039;s fiercest female politician faces a fight for survival">

            <pubDate>Mon, 20 Oct 2025 06:38:59 +0600</pubDate>
            <link><![CDATA[https://rennews.hasibulhuq.com/article/two-week-film-festival-to-celebrate-shah-rukh-khans-60th-birthday]]></link>
            <description><![CDATA[
                                    <img height="300" width="500" src="https://rennews.hasibulhuq.com/&lt;p&gt;New artificial intelligence (AI) tools and capabilities from Google, Microsoft and xAI will now be tested by the US Department of Commerce before they are released to the public.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The tech firms have agreed to voluntarily submit their models for testing through Commerce&#039;s Center for AI Standards and Innovation (CAISI).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The new pacts are an expansion on agreements by AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic that were reached during the Biden Administration, and will see AI models from all of the companies evaluated for their capabilities and security.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;These expanded industry collaborations help us scale our work in the public interest at a critical moment,&quot; CAISI&#039;s director Chris Fall said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Overall, the evaluations of the AI tools will cover &quot;testing, collaborative research and best practice development related to commercial AI systems.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Google&#039;s best known AI tool, through its DeepMind subsidiary, is Gemini, a chatbot that is widely available on Google products but is now also&amp;nbsp;being used in US defence and military agencies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Microsoft&#039;s best known AI tool is CoPilot, while xAI&#039;s only AI product in Grok, a chatbot that has come under widespread public scrutiny for&amp;nbsp;issues were it undressed people in images.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On Tuesday, CASI said it has conducted 40 previous evaluations of AI tools, including evaluation and testing of certain &quot;state-of-the-art models that remain unreleased.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;The centre did not specify which models have been stopped from being released to the public.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In a corporate blog post published after the CAISI announcement, Microsoft said it already tests its AI models, but that &quot;testing for national security and large-scale public safety risks necessarily must be a collaborative endeavour with governments.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A spokeswoman for Google&#039;s DeepMind declined to comment. A representative of SpaceX, the Elon Musk company that now controls xAI, did not respond to a request for comment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bringing in more companies for research and safety testing of commercial AI tools marks a departure for the Trump White House, which has taken a&amp;nbsp;largely hands off approach&amp;nbsp;to oversight or regulation of AI and technology companies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Last year, US President Donald Trump signed a string of executive orders that formed the basis of his administration&#039;s &quot;AI Action Plan&quot;, which he said would &quot;remove red tape and onerous regulation&quot; around AI development and ensure that the US will &quot;win&quot; through advancements and control of the technology.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But with the US military expanding its use of AI, and recent claims by Anthropic that it developed a model Called Mythos that is&amp;nbsp;too powerful for release&amp;nbsp;to the public, the White House seems to be shifting its outlook.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Senior members of Trump&#039;s staff&amp;nbsp;met last month&amp;nbsp;with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, as the BBC previously reported, even as the company is&amp;nbsp;mired in a lawsuit&amp;nbsp;with the US Department of Defense over Anthropic&#039;s refusal to drop safety guardrails for government use of its models.&lt;br /&gt;White House&lt;br /&gt;SpaceX&lt;br /&gt;Google&lt;br /&gt;Artificial intelligence&lt;br /&gt;Donald Trump&lt;/p&gt;

            <pubDate>Mon, 20 Oct 2025 06:32:57 +0600</pubDate>

            <description><![CDATA[
                                    <img height="300" width="500" src="https://rennews.hasibulhuq.com/&lt;p&gt;Oil prices edged lower in Wednesday trade in Asia after US President Donald Trump raised hopes for an agreement with Iran to end the war.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Trump said&amp;nbsp;the US would pause its operation&amp;nbsp;to guide ships through the key Strait of Hormuz trade route - a move that triggered an escalation in attacks in the region - to see if a deal could be made.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Brent, the global benchmark for crude, fell by 1.7% to $108 (&amp;pound;79.56) a barrel, while US-traded oil fell by 1.6% to $100.60.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The price of oil jumped by more than 6% earlier in the week as attacks across the Middle East intensified, but has since gradually eased.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Global energy prices have surged since Tehran threatened to attack ships trying cross the Strait of Hormuz, in retaliation against US-Israeli strikes since 28 February.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;About a fifth of global oil and gas shipments cross the strait.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oil prices overall have been higher since the US-Iran conditional ceasefire, which was announced on 8 April and later extended.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Trump said on social media on Tuesday that Project Freedom, the name of&amp;nbsp;the US-led effort to move ships through the channel, would be &quot;paused for a short period of time to see whether or not the Agreement can be finalized and signed&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;He added that &quot;Great Progress has been made toward a Complete and Final Agreement with Representatives of Iran&quot;. Trump said the US would continue to&amp;nbsp;block ships transiting to and from Iranian ports&amp;nbsp;- a move designed to put pressure on Iran&#039;s economy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To traders, pausing Project Freedom is &quot;a sign that Washington is willing to give diplomacy another chance,&quot; said Charu Chanana from investment firm Saxo.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She added, however, that it is not a turning point.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;The key question for oil traders is whether this leads to real progress in reopening trade through the Strait of Hormuz,&quot; said Chanana, an investment strategist. &quot;For now, there is little evidence of that.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;US Secretary of State Marco Rubio also told reporters that the initial US-Israeli offensive in Iran was over, as&amp;nbsp;Washington&#039;s objectives had been met.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;We would prefer the path of peace. What the president would prefer is a deal,&quot; Rubio said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Iran has not responded to Rubio&#039;s remarks. The country&#039;s parliamentary speaker Mohammad Ghalibaf said earlier: &quot;We know well that the continuation of the status quo is intolerable for America, while we are just getting started.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Project Freedom, which Trump said was meant to ease the flow of energy through the channel, had tested the ceasefire between the sides.&lt;br /&gt;The US said it struck several Iranian &quot;fast boats&quot; in the channel, while the United Arab Emirates also accused Iran of launching strikes on one of its oil ports - a claim Tehran has denied.&lt;/p&gt;" alt="Oil prices ease as US pauses Project Freedom to seek deal with Iran">

                                    <img height="300" width="500" src="https://rennews.hasibulhuq.com/&lt;p&gt;Car manufacturer Nissan has announced it will stop using one of its UK production lines and will be cutting 900 jobs in Europe.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The company confirmed it would be merging two of the lines producing the Leaf, Juke and Qashqai models at its Sunderland plant, but said no jobs would be lost through the change.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, the Japanese-owned car maker said it was in talks to cut about 10% of its European workforce, which included plans to close part of its warehouse in Barcelona and import cars to Nordic countries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A Nissan spokesperson said the changes were being made under its RE:Nissan recovery plan and were designed to create a &quot;leaner, more resilient business that adapts quickly to market changes&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The company said it had started discussions with its European employees with a view to simplifying structures and &quot;ensuring we operate in a sustainable and profitable way&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A spokesperson said: &quot;We have also announced that we will consolidate production from two lines to one at our Sunderland plant as we assess future opportunities to secure full plant utilisation.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Talks with Chery&lt;br /&gt;Nissan said no jobs would be lost because of the line merger but confirmed the 900 being cut across Europe included a small number of UK-based office roles.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Consolidation of work on a single production line leaves the second available for another manufacturer to come in and build their own cars, helping to absorb surplus capacity at the factory.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Although the Sunderland site is used to build three models, it currently operates well below its potential and has been holding talks with other firms.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is understood to have spoken to several companies including Chinese giant Chery, owner of the Jaecoo and Omoda brands.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The firm has been present in the UK since late 2024, and its sales in the country have grown rapidly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is already preparing to assemble cars at a former Nissan plant in Barcelona.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Chery was unavailable for comment but its UK head, Victor Zhang, previously told the BBC it was evaluating whether to set up a manufacturing base in the UK.&lt;/p&gt;

                                    <img height="300" width="500" src="https://rennews.hasibulhuq.com/&lt;p&gt;Apple has agreed to pay some iPhone buyers a collective $250m (&amp;pound;184m) to end a lawsuit accusing the company of misleading people about new artificial intelligence (AI) features and capabilities.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In a settlement filed Tuesday in California federal court, Apple did not admit any wrongdoing, but agreed to a deal that will resolve claims in a large consolidated class action lawsuit filed last year.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It accused Apple of false advertising around its AI features on the iPhone, which the company called Apple Intelligence, including an enhancement of its Siri voice assistant.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Apple will pay between $25 and $95 to people in the US who bought an iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 between June 2024 and March 2025.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An Apple spokeswoman said the lawsuit was focused on &quot;the availability of two additional features&quot; in a lineup of many released as part of its Apple Intelligence rollout.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;We resolved this matter to stay focused on doing what we do best, delivering the most innovative products and services to our users&quot;, she said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In a revised complaint filed last week for the consolidated class of iPhone buyers, lawyers said that Apple&#039;s marketing around new AI features amounted to false advertising.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;Apple promoted AI capabilities that did not exist at the time, do not exist now, and will not exist for two or more years, if ever, all while marketing them as the breakthrough innovation,&quot; lawyers wrote.&lt;br /&gt;They added that Apple undertook this campaign around AI specifically in an effort to&amp;nbsp;catch up&amp;nbsp;in a Big Tech race for new technology being driven by new companies like OpenAI and Anthropic.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Outgoing&amp;nbsp;chief executive Tim Cook has been criticised over the years for not being innovative enough with Apple&#039;s products.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But its marketing of Apple Intelligence as being able to deliver to iPhone customers a new, better version of Siri that would transform it from a &quot;limited voice interface into a full-fledged personal AI assistant&quot; was allegedly false.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;The iPhone 16 was delivered to consumers without &quot;Apple Intelligence,&quot; and Enhanced Siri never came,&quot; the lawyers wrote.&lt;/p&gt;" alt="Apple to pay $250m to US iPhone buyers over AI features lawsuit">

&lt;p&gt;With increasing urgency to shake up a long-unsettled contest, many of the people on stage declared themselves the &amp;ldquo;only candidate&amp;rdquo; to carry certain distinctions. They picked fresh fights with each other &amp;ndash; and in particular, former Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra &amp;ndash; after prior debates that were more civil.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;I can&amp;rsquo;t believe that on a stage with 30 minutes of interrupting and bickering and name-calling and shouting and disrespect &amp;hellip; that anyone wants to talk about my temperament,&amp;rdquo; said Democratic former Rep. Katie Porter at one point, alluding to the scrutiny she has faced&amp;nbsp;over videos of her berating staff&amp;nbsp;and a journalist.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The debate featured two Republicans &amp;mdash; Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco and Trump-backed conservative commentator Steve Hilton &amp;mdash; and five Democrats: Porter, Becerra, billionaire investor Tom Steyer, San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan and former Los Angeles mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Democrats are dominant in California, but the top two vote-getters regardless of party will advance in the June 2 nonpartisan primary. That&amp;rsquo;s forced Democrats to mix it up not just with each other, but also with the Republicans as they try to stand out and make the November ballot.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Trump had said the initiative - Project Freedom - was a humanitarian gesture &quot;meant to free up people, companies, and Countries that have done absolutely nothing wrong&quot;. Iran has said vessels can only cross the pivotal waterway with its authorisation.&lt;/p&gt;

                                    <img height="300" width="500" src="https://rennews.hasibulhuq.com/&lt;p&gt;Pope Leo has responded to attacks by US President Donald Trump, saying he hoped to be able to preach the Gospel and about peace, but anyone was free to criticise him.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In his latest remarks about the pontiff, Trump suggested that he believed that it was okay for Iran to have a nuclear weapon.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Pope has said no such thing, but he has opposed the US and Israel&#039;s war on Iran. His stance has angered Trump, prompting the US president to lash out repeatedly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The latest exchange comes as US Secretary of State Marco Rubio heads to the Vatican for a two-day visit this week.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The State Department said Rubio would work to &quot;advance bilateral relations&quot; with Italy and the Vatican and discuss &quot;the situation in the Middle East and mutual interests in the Western Hemisphere&quot;, including during meetings with other Italian counterparts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On Tuesday ahead of his visit, Rubio denied that he was going to Italy to smooth over tensions between Trump and the Vatican.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;It&#039;s a trip we have planned from before, and obviously we had some stuff that happened,&quot; he said, adding there was &quot;a lot to talk about with the Vatican&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Earlier on Tuesday,&amp;nbsp;Pope Leo said he would continue to call for peace despite criticisms.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;The mission of the Church is to preach the Gospel, to preach peace,&quot; he said, according to Reuters. &quot;If someone wants to criticise me for preaching the Gospel... I hope simply to be listened to because of the value of God&#039;s words.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Most recently, this week, Trump told conservative radio talkshow host Hugh Hewitt that the Pope was &quot;endangering a lot of Catholics and a lot of people&quot; because he &quot;thinks it&#039;s fine for Iran to have a nuclear weapon&quot;. The Pope has not said he supports Iran having a nuclear weapon.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But Brian Burch, the US ambassador to the Holy See, told reporters this week that despite the recent tensions there was no &quot;deep rift&quot; between the US and the Vatican.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;Nations have disagreements, and I think one of the ways that you work through those is... through fraternity and authentic dialogue,&quot; Burch told journalists.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;I don&#039;t accept the idea that somehow there&#039;s some deep rift,&quot; he said, adding that Rubio&#039;s meetings in Italy could allow the two sides to &quot;talk through&quot; any differences.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The disagreement also led to tensions between Trump and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni &amp;ndash; a former Trump ally &amp;ndash; as she also criticised the war in the Middle East and came to the defence of the Pope.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Asked by reporters whether she would meet Rubio this week, Meloni said: &quot;I think so.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;" alt="Mission is to preach peace, says Pope in response to Trump attacks">

                                    <img height="300" width="500" src="https://rennews.hasibulhuq.com/&lt;p&gt;OpenAI president Greg Brockman has described a heated 2017 meeting with Elon Musk over the billionaire&#039;s early attempt to control the artificial intelligence (AI) company.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Brockman, a co-founder of OpenAI and a defendant in&amp;nbsp;Musk&#039;s lawsuit&amp;nbsp;attempting to undo its transition to a for-profit business, told a jury in Oakland federal court that when he rejected a proposal for Musk to have more say in the company, Musk&#039;s mood abruptly changed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;I actually thought he was going to hit me,&quot; Brockman said, referring to Musk.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The meeting ended shortly thereafter, Brockman said, with Musk announcing that he would start withholding funding from OpenAI, which he had been backing since its start in 2015.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Brockman&#039;s testimony comes during the second week of a month-long trial between Musk and OpenAI&#039;s key founder and chief executive Sam Altman.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is part of a bitter feud that has grown over the years since Musk left OpenAI, where he was among the initial co-founders, and has watched as the AI company became one of the most valuable tech enterprises in the world after its launch of ChatGPT.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Before Musk decided to exit OpenAI, Brockman described his attempts to gain more control over the company, an effort that included &quot;buttering up&quot; Brockman and another co-founder, Ilya Sutskever.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lawyers for OpenAI showed text messages from August 2017 between Sutskever and Brockman that said: &quot;Will a model 3 make you be willing to accept massively unfavourable terms?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;The crux of Brockman&#039;s testimony so far has been that Musk was aware of plans to shift OpenAI to be more of a traditional for-profit business. When the company started, it was a non-profit, then it added a for-profit arm in order to raise billions of dollars in funding for investors, before deciding last year to make the for-profit part of the company the focus.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Brockman&#039;s appearance in court is expected to be followed by former OpenAI board member Shivon Zilis, who is the mother of four of Musk&#039;s children.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Brockman testified that Zilis informed him she had had twins, but that he only found out later from public reports that Musk was the father.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Brockman said when he spoke with Zilis after learning Musk had fathered her twins, &quot;she said that it was via IVF and that it was entirely platonic with Elon.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When asked about Zilis&#039; involvement with OpenAI for years after Musk had left the company, Brockman said: &quot;We trusted her to keep the Elon conflict under control.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Zilis left the board in March 2023 as Musk was launching xAI, an AI company developing a chatbot that is a direct competitor to OpenAI&#039;s ChatGPT.&lt;/p&gt;" alt="&#039;I thought he was going to hit me&#039; OpenAI co-founder says of Musk">

            <pubDate>Sun, 19 Oct 2025 08:42:15 +0600</pubDate>
            <link><![CDATA[https://rennews.hasibulhuq.com/article/microsoft-launches-its-first-in-house-ai-image-generator]]></link>
            <description><![CDATA[
                                    <img height="300" width="500" src="https://rennews.hasibulhuq.com/&lt;p&gt;Amsterdam has become the world&#039;s first capital city to ban public advertisements for both meat and fossil fuel products. Since 1 May, adverts for burgers, petrol cars and airlines have been stripped from billboards, tram shelters, and metro stations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At one of the city&#039;s busiest tram stops, adjacent to a grassy roundabout bursting with vibrant yellow daffodils and orange tulips, the poster advertising landscape has changed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They now promote the Rijksmuseum, the national museum of the Netherlands, and a piano concert. Until last week it was chicken nuggets, SUVs and low-budget holidays.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Politicians in the city say the move is about bringing Amsterdam&#039;s streetscape into line with the local government&#039;s own environmental targets.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These aim for the Dutch capital to become carbon neutral by 2050, and for local people to halve their meat consumption over the same period.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;The climate crisis is very urgent,&quot; says Anneke Veenhoff from the GreenLeft Party. &quot;I mean, if you want to be leading in climate policies and you rent out your walls to exactly the opposite, then what are you doing?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;Most people don&#039;t understand why the municipality should make money out of renting our public space with something that we are actively having policies against.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;BBC Business Daily: Amsterdam&#039;s ban on meat adverts&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;This view is echoed by Anke Bakker, who is Amsterdam group leader for a Dutch political party that focuses on animal rights &amp;ndash; Party for the Animals.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She instigated the new restrictions, and rejects accusations of them being nanny state.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;Everybody can just make their own decisions, but actually we are trying to get the big companies not to tell us all the time what we need to eat and buy,&quot; says Bakker.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;In a way, we&#039;re giving people more freedom because they can make their own choice, right?&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Removing that constant visual nudge, she says, both reduces impulse buying, and signals that cheap meat and fossil heavy travel are no longer aspirational lifestyle choices.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Meat was a relatively small slice of Amsterdam&#039;s outdoor advertising market &amp;ndash; accounting for an estimated 0.1% of ad spend, compared with roughly 4% for fossil related products.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The advertising was instead dominated by the likes of clothing brands, movie posters, and mobile phones.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But politically the ban sends a message. Grouping meat with flights, cruises and petrol and diesel cars reframes it from a purely private dietary choice to a climate issue.&lt;/p&gt;" alt="Amsterdam bans public adverts for meat and fossil fuels">

            <title><![CDATA[The Other Bennet Sister: Mary Bennet is the Austen heroine for the 21st Century - here&#039;s why]]></title>
            <pubDate>Sun, 19 Oct 2025 08:39:06 +0600</pubDate>
            <link><![CDATA[https://rennews.hasibulhuq.com/article/disappointed-haaland-didnt-score-four-or-five-guardiola]]></link>
            <description><![CDATA[
                                    <img height="300" width="500" src="https://rennews.hasibulhuq.com/&lt;p&gt;Based on the acclaimed novel The Other Bennet Sister, a new TV imagining of the life of Pride and Prejudice character Mary Bennet has won the hearts of British viewers. Here&#039;s why this Austen character is so relatable today&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;Her mother was right, she neither glowed nor bloomed,&quot; writes Janice Hadlow in her 2020 novel The Other Bennet Sister, a reimagining of the life of Mary Bennet. Mary is one of the five Bennet sisters in Jane Austen&#039;s Pride and Prejudice &amp;ndash; the one who is most often dismissed and forgotten. Despite early-19th Century conventions, she has no interest in marriage, or societal occasions: she&#039;d rather have her head in a geology book. Oh, and to her family&#039;s dismay, she wears spectacles. But how else is she meant to read?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;Austenmania&quot; is ever-growing, and 2026 alone will see three new major Austen adaptations across film and TV. From zombie comedies to murder mysteries, servant perspectives and Bollywood musicals, there have been endless spin-offs of Austen&#039;s beloved stories and characters. Even Mary, who is a minor character in Pride and Prejudice, has not been ignored in modern literature. There are a host of books about what she might have got up to when Elizabeth Bennet wasn&#039;t around &amp;ndash; including a historical spy trilogy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now The Other Bennet Sister has been adapted for the small screen by Sarah Quintrell and Maddy Dai. Telling Mary&#039;s story through her own eyes, the show has been&amp;nbsp;a huge hit with British audiences: 7.3 million viewers watched the first episode, and there have been swarms of Gen-Z TikTok fan edits. Why has this interpretation of the &quot;plain&quot; middle child sparked such devotion in viewers, particularly younger ones?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Mary shows the different ways girls can be &amp;ndash; not all girls are beautiful and perfect &amp;ndash; Professor Sandie Byrne&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;One way to answer that question is to go back to Austen&#039;s novel. Sandwiched between the two attractive, sensible elder sisters, Jane and Elizabeth, and the immature, younger sisters, Kitty and Lydia, Mary is an outlier. She is neither beautiful, nor silly. So, where does that leave her, and what did Austen intend to do with this character?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mary Bennet (Ella Bruccoleri), centre, with her four sisters in TV series The Other Bennet Sister (Credit: BBC)&lt;br /&gt;Mary&#039;s function in Pride and Prejudice is showing &quot;the different ways girls can be,&quot; says Sandie Byrne, professor of English at the University of Oxford, UK. &quot;Not all girls about whom you might write are beautiful and perfect. Austen is always mocking the sentimental novel and the gothic novel, in which the heroines are beautiful and talented... She&#039;s saying, some girls are like Mary.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Austen also demonstrates one of the truths of motherhood, Byrne says: &quot;Children aren&#039;t always loved, and children aren&#039;t always loved equally.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A relatable heroine&lt;br /&gt;When we meet Mary (played by Ella Bruccoleri) in the BBC TV series, she is clumsy, awkward and finds conversation a struggle, spouting random bits of knowledge to carry her through. There are hints such as these throughout that &amp;ndash; in the modern day &amp;ndash; she might be considered neurodivergent. Mary reminds us that children can be raised in the same household, but have very different perspectives and experiences of life &amp;ndash; a familiar feeling for many.&lt;br /&gt;And even if viewers don&#039;t relate directly to her, they will at least root for her. &quot;[People say,] I want to see her do well, because we recognise a woman who&#039;s been held up to standards in society that she can&#039;t reach, that she&#039;s having a value system placed on her,&quot; the show&#039;s writer Quintrell tells the BBC.&lt;/p&gt;" alt="The Other Bennet Sister: Mary Bennet is the Austen heroine for the 21st Century - here&#039;s why">

            <pubDate>Sun, 19 Oct 2025 08:37:43 +0600</pubDate>

            <description><![CDATA[
                                    <img height="300" width="500" src="https://rennews.hasibulhuq.com/&lt;p&gt;A new full-length trailer has been released for The Odyssey, the first film from director Sir Christopher Nolan since the Oscar-winning Oppenheimer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The big screen adaptation of Homer&#039;s ancient Greek epic poem stars Matt Damon, as the hero Odysseus, King of Ithaca, who is heading home from the Trojan War to rescue his wife and son.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The film also stars Anne Hathaway as Odysseus&#039;s wife Penelope, the Queen of Ithaca, and Tom Holland as his son, Prince Telemachus.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Robert Pattinson portrays the cruel and arrogant antagonist Antinous, who has own eyes fixed firmly on the queen while her husband is still away.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The latest trailer,&amp;nbsp;shared by Universal Studios, has stoked excitement and given fans a closer look at the Greek hero and his perilous and, at times, fantastical journey.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Universal Studios&lt;br /&gt;Anne Hathaway plays Odysseus&#039;s wife Penelope, Queen of Ithaca, with Tom Holland as their son Prince Telemachus&lt;br /&gt;Viewers are also introduced to the seductive nymph Calypso (Charlize Theron), as well as Odysseus&#039;s servant Eumaeus (John Leguizamo) and Jon Bernthal as Menelaus, the King of Sparta and brother of Agamemnon, played by Benny Safdie.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, there is a first look at the man-eating cyclops, Polyphemus, the son of Poseidon. (You are going to want to keep an eye on him as the story progresses.)&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Sir Christopher is one of Hollywood&#039;s most acclaimed directors, with credits including Inception (2010), Interstellar (2014), The Dark Knight Trilogy, and Dunkirk (2017).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oppenheimer, his last big effort, won a bagful of Oscars in 2024 - including best picture and best director.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His latest, shot entirely on Imax cameras, had a reported $250m (&amp;pound;185m) budget, which would be his biggest yet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Universal Studios&lt;br /&gt;Robert Pattinson portrays the villainous Antinous&lt;br /&gt;In the trailer we see glimpses of Odysseus and his army battling enemies and the elements, over land and sea, on his treacherous journey home.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We also see flashbacks to the war - the events of which were originally depicted in the Iliad, the book before the Odyssey.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;Help me go home,&quot; viewers hear Odysseus plead, after having first found the King of Ithaca washed up on a far away sea shore.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Penelope is later seen declaring that &quot;Ithaca&#039;s king is coming back&quot;, but her main suitor Antinous refuses to believe it.&lt;br /&gt;&quot;My dad is coming home,&quot; insists a hopeful Telemachus, with his father&#039;s house having seemingly fallen into disrepute, chaos and ruin during his 20-year absence.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Holland&#039;s partner in real life, Zendaya, plays the goddess Athena in the mythological movie, which also features Himesh Patel as Eurylochus, Mia Goth as Melantho and Jimmy Gonzales as Cepheus.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The cast also includes Lupita Nyong&#039;o and Will Yun Lee.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The big question is, will Odysseus make it back before it&#039;s too late? He seems to think so.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;No-one can stand between me and home,&quot; he states in the trailer. &quot;Not even the Gods.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Many fans have commented - on YouTube and Reddit - on how all of the characters appear to have American accents - including those voiced by Brits like Holland and Pattinson.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This &quot;choice&quot;,&amp;nbsp;according to the Hollywood Reporter, marks a &quot;striking departure from the unwritten Hollywood rule of characters in historical epics employing British accents&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Universal Pictures&lt;br /&gt;Odysseus and his army are seen battling enemies and the elements in the new clip&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;In a new interview with Stephen Colbert&#039;s The Late Show, Sir Christopher noted that the Homeric epics inspired many modern blockbusters.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;Even comic-book culture, whether you&#039;re talking about Marvel or DC or the rest, a lot of it comes pretty directly from the Homeric epics,&quot; the filmmaker said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;The thing about Homer is it&#039;s the Marvel of its day, I mean, that&#039;s the thing, and so I think there&#039;s very directly this desire for us to feel or believe that Gods can walk amongst us, and I think the modern comic book is kind of our expression of that.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The director said he first encountered The Odyssey story during a school play when he was &quot;four or five&quot;, adding &quot;it&#039;s a story that we all kind of know a bit about&quot; but he had adapted it so fans could &quot;come to it really fresh&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Just as Oppenheimer famously shared a release date with another blockbuster, Barbie, in 2023, The Odyssey will be released on the same day (17 July) as Spider-Man: Brand New Day.&lt;/p&gt;" alt="Matt Damon seen in new trailer for Christopher Nolan&#039;s The Odyssey">

&lt;p&gt;Silvey, 43, was arrested in January during a police raid at his Perth home in Western Australia where several electronic devices were seized.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In court on Tuesday, the Jasper Jones and Runt author admitted to two charges relating to child exploitation material produced in January. Police dropped two extra charges, one over material allegedly produced in 2022.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The father-of-three&#039;s bail was continued and he is due back in court in July. Since his arrest, publishers, shops and schools have pulled his books from shelves.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Outside court, Silvey did not make any comments to the media.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His 2009 novel Jasper Jones - a coming-of-age story featuring a 13-year-old boy as its protagonist - garnered several awards in Australia and was shortlisted for the International Dublin Literary Awards.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In 2017, it was made into a feature film, starring Toni Collette and Hugo Weaving.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another of his acclaimed works is 2022&#039;s Runt, about the adventures of an 11-year-old girl and her stray dog and set in the Australia outback. It was also adapted for film in 2024, featuring Celeste Barber.&lt;br /&gt;Since his&amp;nbsp;arrest in January, several of Silvey&#039;s works - Jasper Jones, Runt and Rhubarb - have been removed from teaching lists in schools in Western Australia and Victoria.&lt;/p&gt;" alt="Popular Australian author pleads guilty over child exploitation material">

&lt;p&gt;Beginning at Maypole Primary School in Dartford, the 50-year-old&#039;s promotional book tour of When Brian Met Terry is to branch out across the UK.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kane performed a children&#039;s comedy show at the school about animals, including bringing his own pets, and toured the school&#039;s farm with the pupils.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Olivia, a student at the school said: &quot;I like writing stories too and this will inspire me to write more.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The book centres around a true story about the introduction of Kane&#039;s pet chihuahua to his Burmese cat but is also a metaphor for change and children&#039;s big emotions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The story also draws on family dynamics like new siblings and is inspired by the fact Kane&#039;s parents only had one more child after him as he reacted so badly to his new brother.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The bookselling is being provided by Kent&#039;s multi-award-winning Sevenoaks Bookshop.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kane began writing his own books from the age of eight and handed them out to his family in an attempt to make them laugh.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Since then, he has published a novel, The Humorist, a memoir about his dad titled Son of a Silverback and his debut children&#039;s book, Pet Selector, in September 2024.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another student, Charlie, said: &quot;Reading is really important as it increases your vocabulary and makes you more intelligent.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;Russell is also very funny and made us all laugh last time he visited.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;" alt="Russell Kane releases debut children&#039;s picture book">

            <pubDate>Sun, 19 Oct 2025 04:28:18 +0600</pubDate>

                                    <img height="300" width="500" src="https://rennews.hasibulhuq.com/&lt;p&gt;Motorists in the UK have faced higher fuel costs since the US-Israel war with Iran began.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fuel prices surged when the conflict began on 28 February, with the production and transportation of energy across the Middle East slowing or stopping entirely due to missile strikes and drone attacks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Motoring group RAC has said prices at the pump could keep rising if there is no resolution to the conflict.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What we know about the two-week ceasefire between the US and Iran&lt;br /&gt;How do wholesale oil prices affect the cost of petrol and diesel at the pump?&lt;br /&gt;Crude oil is a key ingredient in petrol and diesel, meaning higher wholesale costs make filling up a car more expensive.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Analysts say every $10 (&amp;pound;7.53) increase in the oil price pushes up pump prices by roughly 7p a litre.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since the war began, the price of a barrel of Brent crude &amp;ndash; the global benchmark for wholesale oil prices &amp;ndash; has been very volatile, jumping from $73 to as high as&amp;nbsp;$126 a barrel at one point, the highest since Russia&#039;s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;The cost of filling a typical family car with petrol went up by around &amp;pound;14. A tank of diesel became &amp;pound;27 more expensive.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The price of petrol peaked at 158.3p a litre and diesel reached 191.5p a litre, the RAC said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Figures from the motoring group show average petrol and diesel prices started to ease slightly on 16 April, falling after 46 days of increases &amp;ndash; the longest run of consecutive rises on record.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But petrol has started to rise again, and diesel may do the same if the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz continues.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On 5 May, petrol was 157.2p a litre, and diesel 188.3p.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;RAC head of policy Simon Williams said the outlook for the coming weeks was &quot;ominous&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;Wholesale petrol and diesel prices jumped by around 5p a litre last week, and are now at their highest since the war began,&quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;&quot;If oil prices, and in turn wholesale fuel prices, remain at elevated levels over the coming weeks then future price rises at forecourts are all but inevitable.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Prices remain below the levels reached in summer 2022 following Russia&#039;s invasion of Ukraine, when petrol reached 191.5p and diesel hit 199p a litre.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Because transporting oil is a slow process, price movements in the wholesale markets take about a fortnight to show at the pump.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fuel retailers have denied accusations of price gouging during the conflict. The official markets regulator&amp;nbsp;investigated these claims&amp;nbsp;and said that profit margins were &quot;broadly unchanged&quot; between February and March.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A new government scheme lets drivers&amp;nbsp;compare the cost of fuel&amp;nbsp;offered by petrol stations across the UK.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What is a naval blockade and how would it work in Strait of Hormuz?&lt;br /&gt;Will oil prices keep going up?&lt;br /&gt;For the wholesale markets, the most critical issue remains the status of the Strait of Hormuz.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Usually about 20% of the world&#039;s oil and liquefied natural gas passes through the waterway, but it has been effectively closed since the war began.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Analysis by BBC Verify shows that only a handful of ships have passed through the Strait since a temporary ceasefire was announced &amp;ndash; under normal circumstances, around 138 vessels make the crossing every day.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oil prices fell following the ceasefire, but have risen sharply in the weeks since as the strait remained closed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;US President Donald Trump has announced that&amp;nbsp;the US military would &quot;guide&quot; cargo ships through the strait&amp;nbsp;under &quot;Project Freedom&quot;, but Iran has said vessels can only cross it with its authorisation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The continued uncertainty around the Strait means that oil prices are likely to remain above pre-war levels.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Additionally, oil and gas facilities have been damaged across the Gulf, badly disrupting refining capacity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The UAE has accused Iran of&amp;nbsp;striking its Fujairah oil industry zone&amp;nbsp;- one of the largest oil storage facilities in the Middle East.&lt;/p&gt;" alt="What&#039;s happening to UK petrol and diesel prices?">

                                    <img height="300" width="500" src="https://rennews.hasibulhuq.com/&lt;p&gt;It&#039;s described as the biggest night in fashion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Celebrities arrived at the 2026 Met Gala with their take on this year&#039;s theme - costume art - where organisers asked attendees to experiment with the lavish and whimsical dress code.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The annual event is a fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art&#039;s Costume Institute, and serves as chance for celebrities and design houses to go all-out on spectacle.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Full coverage: Met Gala 2026 red carpet&lt;br /&gt;The golden-voiced Broadway star Joshua Henry, took the drama up a notch by opening the carpet with a rendition of I Wanna Dance With Somebody with a band and dancers on the Met&#039;s iconic steps, which were outfitted to look like mossy bricks in a lush garden.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The guest list was especially starry this year, with the event&#039;s co-chairs including singer Beyonc&amp;eacute;, actress Nicole Kidman, tennis star Venus Williams, and global editorial director of Vogue Anna Wintour.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A parade of celebrities, including Madonna, Sabrina Carpenter, Naomi Osaka and Angela Bassett posed for the cameras.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Some famous faces - Bad Bunny, Heidi Klum, and Katy Perry - were nearly unrecognisable thanks to their commitment to the theme, with several stars directly referencing famous artists or artworks with their outfits.&lt;br /&gt;Here&#039;s a look at some of the highlights and most talked-about looks, with additional reporting by Nada Tawfik on the red carpet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Beyonc&amp;eacute; takes over the carpet with her famous family&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue&lt;br /&gt;Beyonc&amp;eacute; made her first Met Gala appearance in 10 years, and to make up for lost time she sported a monumental look.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The creation, by French designer Olivier Rousteing, took on the Gala&#039;s theme with a gown with an embellished skeleton design, and added a giant feathered cape.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;The BBC caught up with Beyonce on the carpet. Asked how it felt to be back, the star said, &quot;It feels great to be here with my daughter and husband&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The star took to the carpet with husband, rapper Jay-Z, and her daughter, Blue Ivy, who at 14 years old was one of the youngest guests. The Gala typically only allows guests who are 18 or older.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Getty Images&lt;br /&gt;Rihanna arrives fashionably late, A$AP Rocky in tow&lt;br /&gt; AFP via Getty Images&lt;br /&gt; Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue&lt;br /&gt;As has become almost tradition, the musical and fashionable power couple closed down the Met Gala carpet, arriving virtually after everyone.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rihanna donned a custom Maison Margiela by Glenn Martens gown encrusted with thousands of jewels and beads. A$AP Rocky, who co-chaired last year&#039;s Gala, arrived in custom Chanel. He donned a pink coat with black satin lapels.&lt;/p&gt;" alt="The most talked-about looks at this year&#039;s Met Gala">

&lt;p&gt;Fashion is Art was the theme for this year&#039;s Met Gala, which falls annually on the first Monday of May. The event marks the opening of the latest exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art&#039;s Costume Institute &amp;ndash; and is a chance for celebrities on the Anna Wintour-approved guestlist to scale the Met steps in the most glamorous, fantastical, exuberant, fun, daft and occasionally highbrow outfits that they and their styling teams can get their hands on.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This year&#039;s theme came with the memo that it was a moment for attendees to &quot;express their own relationship to fashion as an embodied art form and celebrate the countless depictions of the dressed body throughout art history&quot;. Here are eight of the outfits that were inspired by works of art.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The singer Ros&amp;eacute;,&amp;nbsp;the New Zealand-born member of the South Korean pop group&amp;nbsp;Blackpink,&amp;nbsp;wore a largely unassuming black, strapless dress &amp;ndash; the work of Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello &amp;ndash; but it was inspiration from the art world that made it soar. Riffing on the depictions of birds in the work of&amp;nbsp;French 20th-Century painter&amp;nbsp;Georges Braque, the look featured a brick-sized bird brooch.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Ros&amp;eacute; had worked with her&amp;nbsp;stylist, or &quot;image architect&quot; as he likes to be known, Law Roach, on the look that was also inspired by the Saint Laurent collections of spring 1998 and spring 2002 couture.&amp;nbsp;As she told Vogue: &quot;We landed on this very classic Saint Laurent look, and as we were studying, I learned that YSL has repeatedly used this bird design.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Girls creator, who recently debuted her memoir, Famesick, was back on the Met Gala red carpet for the first time since 2019, wearing a dramatic all-red Valentino look by Alessandro Michele.&amp;nbsp;The asymmetrical red silk, sequinned dress bedecked with crow&#039;s feathers&amp;nbsp;had been inspired by one specific aspect of&amp;nbsp;the painting Judith Slaying Holofernes: the blood.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Speaking to Vogue, Dunham explains that she shared the idea to use that painting as inspiration with Alessandro, &quot;but because his brain works in the most magical ways, rather than leaning into the Renaissance garments or the swords or any of it, he was attracted to a particular blood spatter on the neck of Holofernes.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;Painted circa 1620 by the Italian Baroque painter Artemisia Gentileschi,&amp;nbsp;who became&amp;nbsp; the first woman to enter the Academy of Art and Design in Florence, it now hangs in Florence&#039;s Uffizi gallery.&lt;/p&gt;" alt="The artworks that inspired eight of the most stunning Met Gala looks">

                                    <img height="300" width="500" src="https://rennews.hasibulhuq.com/&lt;p&gt;According to this ranking, Bangladeshis now hold the 7th weakest passport globally.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Earlier rankings placed Bangladesh 100th in January 2025, 97th in 2024, and 101st in 2023.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to the latest Henley Passport Index, a&amp;nbsp;Bangladeshi passport&amp;nbsp;allows visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 38 destinations, placing the country alongside North Korea in the ranking.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In South Asia, Maldives holds the highest position, ranking 56th with visa-free access to 94 destinations. It is followed by India, which ranks 85th with access to 57 countries, Bhutan at 92nd with 50 destinations, and Sri Lanka at 98th with 41. Nepal and Pakistan are placed below Bangladesh, at 101st and 103rd, with visa-free access to 36 and 31 countries respectively.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At the top of the global list, Singapore retains its lead, granting visa-free access to 193 destinations, followed by South Korea with 190. At the other end, Afghanistan remains the lowest-ranked passport at 106th, with visa-free access to only 24 destinations, while Syria (105th) and Iraq (104th) sit just above it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For the first time in the 20-year history of the Henley Passport Index, the United States has dropped out of the world&#039;s top 10 most powerful passports. Once ranked No. 1 in 2014, the US passport has now fallen to 12th place -- sharing the spot with Malaysia -- and offers visa-free access to just 180 of 227 global destinations. The United Kingdom has also seen a decline, slipping to its lowest-ever ranking. Once the world leader in 2015, the UK passport has fallen from sixth to eighth place since July.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Brazil and Argentina jointly hold the 19th spot with 169, while Israel ranks 20th with 165. Myanmar and Lebanon are placed at 96th, each offering visa-free access to 44 destinations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Henley Passport Index compares 199 passports across 227 travel destinations, assigning one point for each destination that can be entered without a visa, or with visa-on-arrival, a visitor&#039;s permit, or an electronic travel authority (ETA). Where a visa or pre-departure government approval is required, a score of zero is assigned. A passport&#039;s total score represents the number of destinations accessible without prior visa requirements.&lt;/p&gt;" alt="Bangladesh holds 100th spot in 2025 Passport Index, 7th weakest globally">

The Inter Miami forward &amp;mdash; a teammate of Lionel Messi &amp;mdash; coolly guided Gianluca Prestianni&#039;s clever pass past Colombian goalkeeper Jordan Garcia with the outside of his boot.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In a tense opening half, Colombia&#039;s Juan Arizala came closest to breaking the deadlock, flashing a shot narrowly wide in the 42nd minute. The second half, however, turned into an end-to-end battle, with both sides creating chances. Argentina goalkeeper Santino Barbi was in inspired form, denying Arizala&#039;s header with a fingertip save before defender Tobias Ramirez made a vital intervention to stop Emilio Aristizabal from scoring.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Colombia&#039;s hopes faded when Jhon Renteria was sent off for a second booking after bringing down Dylan Gorosito. Argentina held firm to seal their eighth appearance in the final, having previously won the competition a record six times.&lt;/p&gt;" alt="Argentina set up Morocco showdown in historic U-20 World Cup final">

This Hoichoi original, adapted from Kingkor Ahsan&#039;s book, also marked her debut on OTT platforms.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While receiving the award, the actress shared her experience of portraying the role, saying, &quot;I have received many awards in my life, and perhaps I will receive more in the future, but this one will always remain special to me. It is different because this award came for playing the role of a mother, something I was personally going through at that time. It allowed me to relive the journey of my own motherhood.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;" alt="This award is truly exceptional for me: Pori Moni">

                                    <img height="300" width="500" src="https://rennews.hasibulhuq.com/&lt;p&gt;In a social media post, US President Donald Trump said -- without directly naming the social media giant -- that a deal was reached with a &quot;certain company that young people in our Country very much wanted to save. They will be very happy!&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Trump added on his Truth Social network that he would speak to Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced the agreement after a second day of talks with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng in Madrid, which also includes discussions about the wider&amp;nbsp;US-China trade dispute.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;We have a framework for a TikTok deal,&quot; Bessent told reporters, adding that Trump and Xi will speak on Friday to &quot;complete&quot; the agreement.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;TikTok is owned by China-based internet company ByteDance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A federal law requiring TikTok&#039;s sale or ban on national security grounds was due to take effect the day before US President Donald Trump&#039;s inauguration on January 20.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But the Republican, whose 2024 election campaign relied heavily on social media and who has said he is fond of TikTok, put the ban on pause.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In mid-June Trump extended a deadline for the popular video-sharing app by another 90 days to find a non-Chinese buyer or be banned in the United States. That extension is due to expire on Wednesday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While Trump had long supported a ban or divestment, he reversed his position and vowed to defend the platform -- which boasts almost two billion global users -- after coming to believe it helped him win young voters&#039; support in the November election.&lt;/p&gt;" alt="US announces &#039;framework&#039; TikTok deal with China">

                                    <img height="300" width="500" src="https://rennews.hasibulhuq.com/&lt;p&gt;Timothy Weah opened the scoring for the French visitors before Mbappe levelled from the spot and Madrid defender Dani Carvajal was sent off for headbutting Marseille goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Roberto De Zerbi&#039;s enterprising Marseille were well place to push for a win until Facundo Medina was harshly penalised for a handball and Mbappe converted his second penalty.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Madrid coach Xabi Alonso was dealt an early blow on his first European game at the helm of the Spanish giants when Trent Alexander-Arnold limped off with a thigh injury.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alonso benched Vinicius Junior among several changes to the side which beat Real Sociedad in La Liga on Saturday to continue Madrid&#039;s 100 percent start in La Liga.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They had a short pre-season following the Club World Cup, giving Alonso more incentive to shuffle his pack, while the coach has also insisted he will keep as many players involved as possible.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jude Bellingham was named on the bench for the first time after undergoing shoulder surgery in July, but neither he nor the returning Eduardo Camavinga made it on to the pitch.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mbappe, who watched former side Paris Saint-Germain win the Champions League last season after he left for Madrid, almost opened the scoring with a spectacular overhead effort which dropped just wide.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alexander-Arnold limped off after just three minutes, to be replaced by veteran Carvajal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Franco Mastantuono, Real Madrid&#039;s youngest Champions League starter at 18 years and 33 days, hit the inside of the near post as both teams sought to break the deadlock.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rulli made a fine save from a fierce Mbappe strike before Weah opened the scoring. Mason Greenwood picked Arda Guler&#039;s pocket and fed the US international, who slammed past Thibaut Courtois at the near post for his first Marseille goal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Belgian goalkeeper denied Weah from distance as the Juventus winger, on loan in France, impressed. Real Madrid equalised when Geoffrey Kondogbia clumsily bundled over Rodrygo Goes in the box.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mbappe, in fine form at the start of the season, dispatched the penalty past Rulli&#039;s outstretched arm.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang drilled just wide and then tested Courtois in the second half as Marseille continued to give as good as they got.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Madrid finished the second game running with 10 men after Carvajal squared off with Rulli and then pushed his head into the goalkeeper&#039;s.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, just as they did against Real Sociedad after Dean Huijsen&#039;s red card, they finished with three points.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Medina slid in to challenge Vinicius and the ball hit his arm, with the referee awarding a penalty, which Mbappe gratefully dispatched to claim victory for Los Blancos.&lt;/p&gt;" alt="Mbappe brace helps 10-man Real Madrid to winning Champions League start">

                                    <img height="300" width="500" src="https://rennews.hasibulhuq.com/&lt;p&gt;French President Emmanuel Macron is spearheading the drive on recognising a Palestinian state as international condemnation grows of Israel over its nearly two-year offensive in Gaza.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Speaking to journalists late Monday, Luxembourg&#039;s Prime Minister Luc Frieden said that &quot;the situation on the ground has deteriorated considerably in recent months&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;A movement is now emerging in Europe and around the world to demonstrate that the two-state solution is still relevant,&quot; Frieden said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;That is why the Luxembourg government intends to join those who recognise the State of Palestine at next week&#039;s conference on the two-state solution.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Countries including Britain, Australia, Canada and Belgium have said they plan to recognise a Palestinian state at the meeting at the UN General Assembly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Israel and its ally the United States have blasted the push, with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio saying Monday the move &quot;emboldened&quot; Hamas.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The war in Gaza was sparked by Hamas&#039; October 2023 attack on Israel that resulted in the deaths of 1,219 people, most of them civilians, according to an AFP tally of official figures.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Israel&#039;s retaliatory campaign in Gaza has killed at least 64,905 people, also mostly civilians, according to figures from the territory&#039;s health ministry that the United Nations considers reliable.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;UN investigators on Tuesday accused Israel of committing &quot;genocide&quot; in Gaza in a bid to &quot;destroy the Palestinians&quot;, blaming Israel&#039;s prime minister and other top officials for incitement.&lt;/p&gt;" alt="Luxembourg says will recognise Palestinian State">

&lt;p&gt;Liberatore brings significant experience from his previous roles at xAI and Airbnb. During his brief tenure at Musk&#039;s startup, he played a key role in securing a $5 billion debt raise and a separate $5 billion equity investment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The hiring highlights the intense competition for top AI talent among leading tech firms. It also adds a new layer to the ongoing rivalry between OpenAI and xAI. Musk, a co-founder of OpenAI, sued the company last year, alleging it had strayed from its original mission. OpenAI later countersued, accusing Musk of harassment.&lt;/p&gt;

            <link><![CDATA[https://rennews.hasibulhuq.com/article/madrid-aim-for-consistency-as-champions-league-returns]]></link>
            <description><![CDATA[
                                    <img height="300" width="500" src="https://rennews.hasibulhuq.com/&lt;p&gt;After Paris Saint-Germain&#039;s historic 5-0 demolition of Inter Milan in May, the tournament that introduced a radical new format last season is set for its second run.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;UEFA&#039;s revamped 36-team league phase, replacing the traditional eight groups, injected unpredictability into the competition. Gone were the days when Europe&#039;s elite could coast through early rounds; instead, last season giants like Real Madrid and Manchester City found themselves fighting for survival until the final fixtures.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Even so, PSG&#039;s eventual triumph showed that powerhouses still hold the edge -- though the shake-up gave mid-tier clubs a better shot at progressing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now the chase begins again, and attention quickly turns to whether anyone can stop PSG from defending their crown. No team has retained the trophy since Real Madrid, who famously won three straight titles between 2016 and 2018.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Madrid themselves enter this season with renewed ambition. The 15-time European champions open their campaign at home to Marseille on Tuesday (Wednesday, 1:00 am, Bangladesh time), hoping that former midfield maestro Xabi Alonso can guide them back to continental dominance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Last season was a sobering one for Los Blancos. Carlo Ancelotti&#039;s side were thrashed 5-1 on aggregate by Arsenal in the quarterfinals, exposing flaws in both tactics and squad balance. Despite boasting a &quot;fantastic four&quot; attack of Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo and Jude Bellingham, Madrid&#039;s defence too often crumbled. Six defeats in the competition left them empty-handed while Barcelona celebrated a domestic treble.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alonso has quickly imposed order since his arrival in the summer, alongside &amp;euro;170 million worth of new signings. Madrid have started La Liga with four wins from four, keeping two clean sheets and showing resilience, notably in Saturday&#039;s 2-1 victory over Real Sociedad when they played more than an hour with 10 men.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;The players made a huge effort and dug deep for the benefit of the team,&quot; Alonso said after that win, stressing the collective focus that seemed absent last year.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Basque coach has already shown a willingness to rotate and adapt, benching Vinicius in one game and substituting him early in another. With eight matches in the Champions League league phase, rotation will be key.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For Madrid, consistency is the target, with Mbappe&#039;s sharp form -- four goals in four La Liga games -- offering encouragement. If Alonso&#039;s pragmatic edge matches his squad&#039;s attacking brilliance, Europe&#039;s most decorated club could once again set its sights on the throne.&lt;/p&gt;" alt="Madrid aim for consistency as Champions League returns">

                                    <img height="300" width="500" src="https://rennews.hasibulhuq.com/&lt;p&gt;The initiative marks an increase of close to 70% from the $209 million paid out after the 2022 tournament in Qatar.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For the first time, clubs that release players for World Cup qualifiers -- not just the finals -- will be compensated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The initiative is part of a renewed memorandum of understanding between FIFA and the European Club Association (ECA) signed in March 2023, aimed at creating a more inclusive and equitable system for global club football.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;The enhanced edition of the FIFA Club Benefits Programme for the FIFA World Cup 2026 is going a step further by recognising financially the huge contribution that so many clubs and their players around the world make to the staging of both the qualifiers and the final tournament,&quot; FIFA President Gianni Infantino said in a statement.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The CBP was first introduced for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. In 2022, 440 clubs from 51 FIFA member associations received payments under the programme.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With the 2026 edition set to include compensation for qualifiers, the number of benefiting clubs is expected to rise significantly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ECA Chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi called the programme &quot;innovative.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;Clubs play a pivotal role in the success of national team football,&quot; he said. &quot;This initiative recognises every element of it, from early development through to release for the most important games.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The 2026 World Cup runs from June 11 to July 19 in the U.S., Mexico and Canada.&lt;/p&gt;" alt="FIFA to distribute record $355 million to clubs for 2026 World Cup">

                                    <img height="300" width="500" src="https://rennews.hasibulhuq.com/&lt;p&gt;They said while such children are vulnerable to various forms of physical violence, they are also highly at risk online due to lack of knowledge, especially during the daytime in the absence of their parents.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Terre des Hommes Netherlands, with support from Breaking the Silence (BTS) and Village Education Resource Centre, organised the discussion at The Daily Star Centre in the capital.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At the event, Terre des Hommes Country Manager in Bangladesh Nazrul Islam said although the government has enacted several laws and undertaken various policies, child protection is still &quot;largely neglected&quot; in the country.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He stressed that stakeholders must come forward and demonstrate responsibility to improve the situation, since legislation alone is not sufficient.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Zahidul Islam, director (programme and planning) at Breaking the Silence, said many RMG factories have daycare facilities but those are inadequate compared to the number of working parents.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;This inadequacy could harm the parents&#039; dedication in providing quality service and subsequently impact the sector negatively,&quot; said Zahidul, who moderated the discussion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;INCIDIN Bangladesh Executive Director AKM Masud Ali said there are parents who leave their children back home in rural areas for months while they seek fortune in cities like Dhaka. Strengthening protection mechanisms for such left-behind children is also crucial, he said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A tripartite initiative involving government infrastructures, the economic strength of the industry sector, and civic platforms could provide sustainability to child protection mechanisms in Bangladesh, he added, emphasising the need to involve trade union groups in the process.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;SM Taifur Rahman, deputy director at Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission, said just like the physical world, children should also be made aware of keeping distance from unknown individuals in cyberspace.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;Virtual harm could be as severe as physical harm,&quot; he said, stressing the need for generating awareness among parents about online safety and ensuring counselling and motivation for victims.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Roisul Islam, project manager at the Multisectoral Programme of the Women and Children Affairs Ministry, said they receive about 6,000 phone calls on average per day on the &quot;109&quot; helpline service, mostly concerning domestic violence, sexual harassment, and violence against children.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He said officials document the complaints and take action based on the merit of the problems by involving local administration until those are resolved.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Abdul Hamid Mia, director (administration and finance) at the Department of Social Services, and Roksana Sultana, general secretary of Breaking the Silence, also spoke at the discussion.&lt;/p&gt;" alt="Children left alone at home vulnerable offline, online">

                                    <img height="300" width="500" src="https://rennews.hasibulhuq.com/&lt;p&gt;Over 250,000 reportedly fled the Gaza City&lt;br /&gt;30 buildings destroyed&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Qatar PM urges world to &#039;stop using double standards&#039;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Netanyahu hosts Rubio at Western Wall ahead of talks&lt;br /&gt;Israeli forces destroyed at least 30 residential buildings in Gaza City and forced thousands of people from their homes to move south, Palestinian officials said, as US Secretary of State Marco Rubio arrived yesterday to discuss the future of the conflict.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to an army post on X, more than 250,000 people have reportedly fled the city. The military is urging remaining residents to travel via al-Rashid Street towards al-Mawasi or camps in central Gaza.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, a journalist said, &quot;Despite intense bombardment in Gaza City, many residents have stayed put -- or returned after seeking shelter elsewhere -- because many of Israel&#039;s designated evacuation zones are desperately overcrowded and under-resourced, including lacking proper water access.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The United Nations estimates from late August indicated approximately one million Palestinians were living in and around Gaza&#039;s largest urban centre, where famine conditions are taking hold after months of deteriorating circumstances, reports Al Jazeera online.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The UN and the international community have called on Israel to abandon its plans to capture the city, warning that such an assault could worsen the humanitarian crisis.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani yesterday urged the international community to &quot;stop using double standards&quot; and punish Israel for what he described as its &quot;crimes&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He was speaking at a preparatory meeting on the eve of an emergency summit of Arab and Islamic leaders organised by Qatar after Israel carried out an unprecedented air strike on Hamas leaders in Doha.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;The time has come for the international community to stop using double standards and to punish Israel for all the crimes it has committed, and Israel needs to know that the ongoing war of extermination that our brotherly Palestinian people is being subjected to, and whose aim is to expel them from their land, will not work,&quot; the prime minister said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said yesterday that the alliance with the United States has never been stronger as he joined Rubio in praying at one of Judaism&#039;s holiest sites.&lt;/p&gt;

                                    <img height="300" width="500" src="https://rennews.hasibulhuq.com/&lt;p&gt;Federal Reserve officials, already expected to cut interest rates next week, may also be closer to settling a months-long debate over the risks of stagflation after recent data showed longstanding weakness in hiring and easing inflation concerns.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The shift in tone began this summer, led by dissents in July from two Fed governors who wanted to cut rates at that time based on risks to the job market, and continuing as other officials began downplaying inflation and focusing more on an economy that was slowing and at risk of shedding jobs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As the US central bank&#039;s September 16-17 meeting nears, the latest batch of data shows the unemployment rate rose in August to 4.3 percent and the economy actually lost jobs in June following a revision. Had that data been available in the initial June estimates, it could have influenced the Fed&#039;s decision on July 30 to hold its benchmark interest rate steady in the 4.25 percent-4.50 percent range, where it has been since December.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition, a benchmark revision of employment this week indicated nearly a million fewer jobs were added in the year through March than originally reported.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Consumer prices in August did rise faster than in the prior month, but initial jobless benefits claims jumped in the latest week, in another sign of labor market cooling.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The situation resembles last summer when slowed hiring and downward revisions to prior estimates prompted a half-percentage-point rate cut at the Fed&#039;s meeting that September. While market analysts, including 105 of 107 economists in a recent Reuters poll, expect only a quarter-percentage-point cut next week, the latest data could lead officials to project a quicker and steadier drop in rates as they move from guarding against inflation to defending the job market.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;" alt="Fed’s fear meter may be pointing to stagnation, rather than stagflation">

                                    <img height="300" width="500" src="https://rennews.hasibulhuq.com/&lt;p&gt;The suspension began on August 28, the final day of the exemption granted by US authorities to small packages under the &quot;de minimis&quot; rule, introduced in 1938.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From August 29, imports worth $800 or less have been subject to tariffs, with tighter customs checks in place.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The change has left thousands of small businesses and families struggling to send packages to America, as costs have become prohibitive, according to reports by global media outlets, including AFP and the BBC.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In Bangladesh, online sellers and small entrepreneurs who depend on the postal system to reach diaspora markets, especially Bangladeshi communities in the US, have been hardest hit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;Since the first of this month, every parcel I tried to send was rejected. They keep telling me parcels to the US are not being accepted anymore. Now I cannot face my regular customers,&quot; said Da Ching, owner of Finery, an online craft house in Mirpur area of Dhaka.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She regularly shipped handmade items to clients in the US.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bangladesh is not alone. Global postal parcel traffic to the US plummeted by 81 percent on August 29 compared with a week earlier, following the end of the exemption, the Universal Postal Union (UPU) said recently, reports AFP.&lt;/p&gt;

            <link><![CDATA[https://rennews.hasibulhuq.com/article/barcelona-demolish-valencia-6-0-in-front-of-small-crowd]]></link>
            <description><![CDATA[
                                    <img height="300" width="500" src="https://rennews.hasibulhuq.com/&lt;p&gt;Victory propelled the Catalans to second in LaLiga on 10 points, two points behind leaders Real Madrid, who have a perfect start with four wins from four matches.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fermin Lopez, Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski all notched doubles.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Used to playing at their 100,000-capacity Camp Nou home then at their temporary base of the 56,000-capacity Lluis Companys Olympic Stadium, Barcelona kicked off their home LaLiga campaign at tiny Estadi Johan Cruyff at their Sant Joan Despi training.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Camp Nou renovations&amp;nbsp;have fallen nine months behind schedule and a Post Malone concert left the Lluis Companys pitch in poor condition, forcing them to find a stop-gap solution for their fourth game of the season.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The cramped Johan Cruyff stadium required LaLiga to grant Barca a special exemption from competition rules requiring first-division clubs to have a minimum capacity of 15,000 seats.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BARCELONA FLYING&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Despite coach Hansi Flick making sweeping changes to his starting eleven after the international break - and with one eye on Thursday&#039;s Champions League debut at Newcastle - Barcelona flew out of the blocks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lopez opened the scoring in the 29th minute with a strike from inside the box assisted by Ferran Torres but it was after the break that Barca unleashed their fury.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Raphinha made an immediate impact off the bench in the 58th minute, launching himself to convert a cross from Marcus Rashford with a right-footed volley while Lopez doubled his tally three minutes later with a strike from long-range, before Raphinha completed his double in the 66th minute.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lewandowski, introduced in the 68th minute, wasted little time adding his name to the scoresheet, wrapping up the rout with two close-range strikes to complete a perfect afternoon for the Catalan giants.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;From the outset, we demonstrated what we wanted to achieve, and that is what we have witnessed,&quot; Flick told a press conference.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;Not only Fermin Lopez who had a great game, but everyone has fought hard and enjoyed themselves on the pitch. The team has been outstanding in every position. The three points are perfect, and for me, it is wonderful to have to choose between so many great players.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Valencia slumped to 15th position with just four points.&lt;/p&gt;" alt="Barcelona demolish Valencia 6-0 in front of small crowd">

                                    <img height="300" width="500" src="https://rennews.hasibulhuq.com/&lt;p&gt;Modric, who celebrated his birthday on Tuesday, netted the winning goal at the end of a flowing move he started in midfield before meeting Alexis Saelemaekers&#039;s low cross with a perfect first-time finish.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;I hope next time someone won&#039;t remind me of my age anymore!&quot; joked Modric to DAZN.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;It was great play, Ale gave me a great ball and it was easy to score. It was more the pass than my goal.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Modric praised his team&#039;s fighting spirit and added: &quot;Game by game we will gain more confidence and I&#039;m sure we will get even better.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The six-time Champions League winner, who arrived at Milan as a free agent after 13 years at Real Madrid, wheeled away in delight at the decisive strike in a match which ended with coach Massimiliano Allegri sent off for his furious reaction at the hosts not being given a late penalty.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;New signing Christopher Nkunku looked set to have a chance at scoring his first Milan goal from the penalty spot seconds after replacing Santiago Gimenez when he went down under challenges from Jhon Lucumi and then Remo Freuler.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But after looking at the pitch-side monitor, referee Matteo Marcenaro overruled his own decision to give the spot-kick for the Freuler foul, which sent Allegri into a rage on the touchline, his rant to officials earning him a red card.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sunday&#039;s win was also a successful start for new arrival Adrien Rabiot, who produced an impressive performance alongside Modric in midfield for Milan, who also struck the woodwork three times.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, his fellow France international Mike Maignan was forced to limp off with what Milan have confirmed is a problem with his right calf.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Allegri said after the match that Maignan would miss next Saturday&#039;s clash at Udinese.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Milan&#039;s first home win of the season moved them up to fifth, level on six points with Cremonese and Roma, who fell to a shock 1-0 home defeat to Torino earlier on Sunday.&lt;/p&gt;" alt="Timeless Modric opens Milan account with Bologna winner">

                                    <img height="300" width="500" src="https://rennews.hasibulhuq.com/&lt;p&gt;&quot;The targeted operation in Qatar proved beyond any doubt that there is one obstacle to returning the... hostages and ending the war: Prime Minister Netanyahu,&quot; the Hostages and Missing Families Forum said in a statement, referring to Israel&#039;s recent strike on a meeting of Hamas members in the Gulf state.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;Every time a deal approaches, Netanyahu sabotages it,&quot; they added.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Earlier in the evening, the premier had said eliminating Hamas&#039;s leaders in Qatar would bring an end to the war, accusing the group of derailing past efforts to secure a ceasefire.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;The Hamas terrorists chiefs living in Qatar don&#039;t care about the people in Gaza. They blocked all ceasefire attempts in order to endlessly drag out the war,&quot; he said on X.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;Getting rid of them would rid the main obstacle to releasing all our hostages and ending the war.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The forum, however, characterised the accusation as Netanyahu&#039;s latest &quot;excuse&quot; for failing to bring home the captives.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;The time has come to end the excuses designed to buy time so he can cling to power,&quot; the forum said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;This stalling... threatens the lives of additional hostages who are barely surviving after nearly two years in captivity, as well as the recovery of those who have died.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Palestinian militants led by Hamas abducted 251 people during their October 7, 2023 attack on Israel. Forty-seven of the captives are still held in Gaza, including 25 the military says are dead.&lt;/p&gt;" alt="Israeli hostages forum says Netanyahu &#039;obstacle&#039; to ending Gaza war">

&lt;p&gt;The Metropolitan Police -- which estimated 110,000 to 150,000 people turned out, &quot;significantly exceeding&quot; organisers&#039; estimates -- said the clashes broke out after some attendees tried to enter so-called &quot;sterile areas&quot; near counter-protesters.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Around 5,000 people had attended a Stand Up to Racism march which began around a mile to the north. About 1,000 police were deployed to keep the rival groups apart.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;There is no doubt that many came to exercise their lawful right to protest, but there were many who came intent on violence,&quot; Assistant Commissioner Matt Twist said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;They confronted officers, engaging in physical and verbal abuse and making a determined effort to breach cordons in place to keep everyone safe.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He added arrests were made for violent disorder, assault and other offences, while officers&#039; injuries included broken teeth, a possible broken nose, a concussion, and a prolapsed disc.&lt;/p&gt;" alt="Clashes with police after up to 150,000 gather at far-right UK rally">

&lt;p&gt;Seoul and Washington, which stations around 28,500 troops in South Korea, will also stage a tabletop military exercise, aimed at integrating their military assets.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kim Yo Jong slammed the drills as a &quot;dangerous idea&quot;, in a statement carried by state news outlet KCNA.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;The reckless show of strength made by them (the allies) in real action in the vicinity of the DPRK, which is the wrong place, will inevitably bring bad results to themselves,&quot; she said, using the acronym for North Korea.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pyongyang has long baulked at such joint military drills involving the allies, calling them rehearsals for an invasion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The North perceives the trilateral drills as &quot;scenarios for limited or full-scale nuclear strikes and attempts to neutralise its launch platforms&quot;, Hong Min, a senior analyst at the Korea Institute for National Unification, told AFP.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;The North is likely using the allied exercises as a pretext to push ahead with nuclear modernisation and conventional upgrades,&quot; he added.&lt;/p&gt;" alt="North Korea condemns &#039;reckless&#039; US, Japan, South Korea drills">

&lt;p&gt;&quot;With the right policy support, we can eliminate the need for imports in this sector entirely,&quot; he added.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Prior to Meghna, the heavy-duty tyre segment used to be dominated by Gazi Auto Tyres before its closure in August 2024 following a devastating fire and vandalism at its Rupganj plant after the mass uprising. Owned by ex-Awami League lawmaker Golam Dastagir Gazi, the company captured 15 to 20 percent of the market for bus and truck tyres, and 65 percent in the minibus segment before it went out of commission.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Overall, Gazi Tyres met 70 percent of the country&#039;s demand for tyres used by rickshaws, three-wheelers, and small commercial vehicles. The destruction at the Rupganj factory caused an estimated loss of Tk 1,000 crore and left around 2,650 workers unemployed.&lt;/p&gt;" alt="Meghna enters heavy vehicle tyre production after Gazi falls">

                                    <img height="300" width="500" src="https://rennews.hasibulhuq.com/&lt;p&gt;Countries across the Western world are over-indebted. In theory, they could grow their way out of the debt or rein in their fiscal deficits. But the richer countries have a miserable recent growth record. And as the fall of French Prime Minister Fran&amp;ccedil;ois Bayrou this week shows, there&#039;s no public appetite for austerity. The siren of inflation calls. Whether countries succumb depends on how tightly they have lashed themselves to the mast.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anti-inflation commitments vary in strength, from weak to strong. The weakest is central bank independence. Central bankers do not usually face the sack for missing their inflation target. Keeping monetary policy tight presents a bigger career risk, as Federal Reserve Chair Jay Powell has learned. Although the US central bank is notionally independent of the executive, President Donald Trump wants easy money and has taken to publicly berating Powell&#039;s decisions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Trump is following a well-trodden path. Presidents Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon both pressured their top central bankers to ease policy. At one fractious meeting, LBJ is said to have pushed Fed Chair William McChesney Martin against a wall. Martin&#039;s successor, Arthur Burns, failed to stand up to Nixon and unwittingly unleashed the Great Inflation of the 1970s.&lt;/p&gt;" alt="Inflation defences are no match for debt burden">

&lt;p&gt;What would hurt the eight-time Ballon d&#039;Or winner even more is that Miami conceded just two minutes after his miss, with Idan Toklomati scoring his first goal of the game in the 34th minute. The 21-year-old Israeli striker struck again in the 47th minute and then converted from the penalty spot in the 84th, as Charlotte extended their MLS win streak to a record-tying nine games.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Toklomati, who now has 11 goals this season, starred while Miami went down to 10 men after Argentine defender Tomas Aviles was shown a red card in the 79th minute.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It was Inter Miami&#039;s first match without suspended striker Luis Suarez, who is serving a three-match ban from MLS for spitting on a Seattle Sounders staff member after Inter&#039;s loss in last month&#039;s Leagues Cup final.&lt;/p&gt;" alt="Messi misses Panenka penalty, Miami lose 3-0">

&lt;p&gt;&quot;When the streets are flooded and people have to walk through them,&quot; says Dr Saba, &quot;this prolonged exposure to dirty water causes fungal infections like athlete&#039;s foot. When your skin remains damp and soft for too long, its natural barrier weakens. This makes it easier for fungi and bacteria to enter and grow.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;" alt="Strong sunscreen in monsoon?
