India replaces colonial-era criminal laws to provide 'justice'
REUTERS/Adnan AbidiIndia replaced colonial-era criminal laws with new legislation on Monday, which Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government said would make the country more just, but the opposition said risked throwing the criminal justice system into disarray. The new laws were approved by parliament in December in Modi's previous term with the government saying they aim to "give justice, not punishment". It says they were needed as colonial laws had been at the core of the criminal justice system for more than a century. Opposition Congress party lawmaker P. Chidambaram said the previous parliament session did not hold any "worthwhile debate" before passing the laws. "The initial impact will be to throw the administration of criminal justice into disarray," he posted on X.

Asked media to be accurate not silent: Additional IGP Monirul
Following backlash, Bangladesh Police Service Association President Monirul Islam says that the organisation had asked media outlets to verify their reports on graft allegations against police personnel before publishing them and had not ordered them to stop reporting on such incidents, reports bdnews24.com. Asked about the BPSA’s statement amid the discussion of alleged corruption in the police force, Monirul said that the police and the government have repeatedly stated that agencies will not bear the responsibility of individual wrongdoing. “Sometimes [these reports] included a lot of exaggerations or information that lacked context. That is why, in addition to our protest, we made a request in that statement,” he said. “We did not give you any orders or even instructions in any way.

'Brats' on Hulu inspires nostalgia, memories of growing up in the 80s
As I sit in my apartment streaming the documentary, “Brat,” by Andrew McCarthy, I think this setup is all wrong. That’s because if you grew up in the ’80s, this group, their coming of age in cinema, is likely an inextricable part of your zeitgeist. As a memoirist, I often write about nostalgia, the careful dance of looking back on your life and trying to document it without an inherent bias. Don’t get me wrong, I loved watching movies from the ’80s. But in the end, this ’80s teen watched some great movies, developed some interesting crushes, and made my way in the world.
