Jatiya Party's Chunnu dismisses Raushan Ershad's leadership claim
Jatiya Party General Secretary Mujibul Haque Chunnu has paid short shrift to Raushan Ershad's claim to party leadership, which has once again brought a longstanding internal rift to the fore. On Sunday, Raushan, the Jatiya Party's chief patron, declared herself as party chief, 'terminating' the positions of Chairman GM Quader and General Secretary Chunnu. At an emergency media briefing afterwards, Chunnu referred to Raushan's previous attempts to assume leadership of the party, noting that this was her third such declaration. Chunnu said Raushan's latest announcement holds no basis or authority under the party's constitution. He added that Raushan's move to oust Quader and himself from leadership positions is not recognised under the party's constitutional framework.

Putin repeats Ukraine Nazi claims at Leningrad siege memorial
The Russian leader has repeatedly invoked the Soviet Union's victory over Nazi Germany in the Second World War to justify his current offensive against Ukraine. Ukraine, the West and independent scholars have repeatedly rejected Putin's attempt to cast Kyiv as Nazi sympathisers. More than 800,000 people died from starvation, disease and bombardment during the 872-day encirclement by German forces in the Second World War. Although he was born after the war, Putin's elder brother died of starvation during the siege. The Kremlin has been accused of manipulating its Second World War history to justify the offensive against Ukraine and a repressive turn at home.

N. Korea fires several cruise missiles: Seoul military
SEOUL, Jan 28, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - North Korea fired several cruise missiles on Sunday, Seoul's military said, the latest in a series of tension-raising moves by the nuclear-armed state. The launch comes just days after Pyongyang fired multiple cruise missiles toward the Yellow Sea, which it said was a first test of a new generation of strategic cruise missiles. "Our military detected several unidentified cruise missiles fired near waters around North Korea's Sinpo area at 8:00 am (2300 GMT) today," the Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement. Unlike their ballistic counterparts, the testing of cruise missiles is not banned under current UN sanctions against Pyongyang. Cruise missiles tend to be jet-propelled and fly at a lower altitude than more sophisticated ballistic missiles, making them harder to detect and intercept.

Once touted as a game-changer, Nagar Paribahan makes no difference to Dhaka's public transport chaos
SERVICES SHUTTING DOWNDhaka Transport Coordination Authority said it would begin the Nagar Paribahan services with 30 BRTC and 20 Transilva buses on route No. Transilva shut down their services under Nagar Paribahan in April-May last year. The money we earned operating under Nagar Paribahan was not enough to pay these expenses,” he said. BRTC, which was leading the Nagar Paribahan services, was full of mismanagement that caused the losses, Khokan alleged. However, there are complaints that the number of buses running on these routes are much less and BRTC buses were running on daily contracts.
