बांग्लादेश में हिंसक प्रदर्शनों के बीच 1000 भारतीय छात्र स्वदेश लौटे, अब भी फंसे हैं हजारों स्टूडेंट्स
भारतीय उच्चायोग (Indian High Commission) भारतीय छात्रों को भारत-बांग्लादेश अंतरराष्ट्रीय सीमा को पार करने के लिए सुरक्षित यात्रा की सुविधा प्रदान कर रहा है. भारतीय उच्चायोग बांग्लादेश की विभिन्न यूनिवर्सिटी में अभी भी करीब चार हजार छात्रों के साथ लगातार संपर्क में है. अनुरोध पर नेपाल और भूटान के छात्रों को भी भारत में प्रवेश करने में सहायता दी गई है. पाकिस्तान के खिलाफ बांग्लादेश के 1971 के स्वतंत्रता संग्राम में लड़ने वाले दिग्गजों के परिवार के सदस्यों के लिए सरकारी नौकरियों में 30 प्रतिशत तक आरक्षण है. प्रदर्शनकारियों का तर्क है कि यह प्रणाली भेदभावपूर्ण है और प्रधानमंत्री शेख हसीना की अवामी लीग पार्टी के समर्थकों को भेदभावपूर्ण और असंगत रूप से लाभ पहुंचाती है.

Porsche replaces China boss amid sales slump
German luxury sportscar maker Porsche AG will replace the chief executive of its China business, it said on Saturday, a move that follows a major drop sales in the world's largest automotive market. Alexander Pollich will become Porsche China CEO on Sept. 1, 2024, at the earliest, the company said, replacing Michael Kirsch, who will move to another unspecified role within the company. With 57-year old Pollich, Porsche's China business will be led by an "internationally experienced sales expert" who has been with the company for more than 23 years, most recently as chairman of the executive board of Porsche Deutschland GmbH, the carmaker said. Porsche, which is majority-owned by Volkswagen, suffered a 33 per cent drop in China sales during the first half, it said earlier this month. China accounted for nearly 20 per cent of Porsche's global deliveries, and the group's shares have been under pressure as investors are concerned about growing trade tensions with China, a market where Porsche solely relies on imports.

Editorial on the Republican National Convention: Trump season
It would also appear that Republican strategists have deepened their appreciation of optics as far as Mr. Trump’s appeal among the electorate goes. Mr. Trump’s wife Melania made a rare appearance at the event, as did his 17-year-old granddaughter Kai, his daughter-in-law and co-chair of the Republican National Committee, Lara, Arkansas Governor Sarah Sanders, Mr. Trump’s former Press Secretary, and Indian American Usha Chilukuri Vance, who is the wife of Mr. Trump’s running mate, J.D. There is much to analyse in Mr. Trump picking the 39-year-old Mr. Vance for Vice Presidential candidate in the upcoming race. Mr. Trump is evidently keen to win over younger demographic cohorts in this election; he is also aligned to white, male America, and what it stands for in the country’s fraught politics today. While there is no denying Mr. Trump’s overall strong position and lead in swing states according to several national polls, three months is a long time in politics, and that certainly applies to the U.S.

US President Joe Biden vows to fight on amid calls to end campaign, fundraising woes
US President Joe Biden vows to fight on amid calls to end campaign, fundraising woesMore than one in 10 congressional Democrats have now publicly called on Joe Biden -- who is isolating at his Delaware home with a case of COVID -- to drop out following a disastrous June debate against Republican Donald Trump. US President Joe Biden vowed on Friday to continue his reelection campaign even as more fellow Democrats in Congress urged him to end his floundering campaign, fearing that it could cost the party dearly in the November 5 election. Several of US President Joe Biden's reelection campaign fundraisers are on hold, multiple Democratic sources involved in the events told Reuters on Friday, even as the Democratic Party planned to accelerate his nomination and he vowed to continue in the 2024 race. Biden had planned to raise money in Austin, Denver, and California next week, but these plans have been shelved, at least for now, the sources said. The president tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday but said Friday he would return to the campaign trail next week.
