The army raids the separatist group's hideout in a remote area of Bandarban’s Ruma UpazilaThe Bangladesh Army has recovered a large cache of firearms and ammunition after busting a hideout of the separatist group Kuki-Chin National Front (KNF), also known as the Bawm party, in the Chattogram Hill Tracts.

Ever since seeing this Full Belly Deli menu item on Guy Fieri’s “Diners, Drive-Ins and Drives,” it’s been on a bucket list of things to try. Starting with the buttermilk biscuits, they are baked from scratch before torn apart and nestled atop a warm tortilla. Full Belly Deli’s Biscuits and Gravy Burrito. The biscuits were light and flaky, the hashbrowns crunchy and salty, the egg and cheese ooey gooey, and the gravy – oh, that delectable gravy – was the star of the show. Not sure why it took me so long to try, but it definitely won’t be long before my next one.

PARIS, Nov 14, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - US president-elect Donald Trump's expected climate rollbacks will likely have a "small" impact on global warming, as long as other countries resist the temptation to slacken their own carbon-cutting efforts, new research found Thursday. In a new analysis of countries' climate plans, the Climate Action Tracker (CAT) project said Trump's potential retreat from the green transition could increase global temperatures by around 0.04C by the end of the century. "The damage it would do emission-wise to global climate action, if just confined to the United States and over four to five years, is probably recoverable," he said. Hare said that a "fundamental" question will be the reaction of China, the biggest greenhouse gas emitter. In a separate report released Thursday, CAT looked at the plans of the biggest greenhouse gas polluters.
