DHAKA: Amid an ongoing diplomatic row over the arrest of a Hindu priest, Bangladesh on Saturday said India needs to address Dhaka's longstanding concerns to improve bilateral ties but remained optimistic about good relations with bilateral interests protected. Bangladesh's Foreign Affairs Adviser Touhid Hossain also acknowledged that there is a “change in the relations” between the two neighbours after August 5 and said it is a “reality.” India needs to address Bangladesh's longstanding concerns to improve bilateral ties between Dhaka and New Delhi, Hossain said adding: “Bangladesh's previous (ousted) government addressed the concerns of India, but India did not address Bangladesh's concerns.” Deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina fled to India on August 5 following widespread protests against her Awami League-led government over a controversial job quota system. Three days later, Muhammad Yunus, a Nobel laureate, took over as the Chief Adviser of the interim government. The diplomatic row erupted between India and Bangladesh after Hindu priest Chinmoy Krishna Das, a former member of International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), was arrested from Dhaka’s Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport on Monday. Das, the spokesperson for the Bangladesh Sammilita Sanatani Jagran Jote, was denied bail and sent to jail by the Chattogram’s Sixth Metropolitan Magistrate court in a sedition case on Tuesday. It triggered clashes between his supporters and the security personnel that led to the killing of a lawyer. Hossain was speaking at a roundtable titled 'Bangladesh-India Relations: Expectations, Barriers and Future' organised by the South Asian Institute of Policy and Governance (SIPG) and the Department of Political Science & Sociology (PSS), North South University here, state-run news agency Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha (BSS) said. The Foreign Affairs Adviser acknowledged that “there is a change in the relations after August 5,” and said, “This is reality” but remained optimistic about bilateral relationship despite current diplomatic challenges. “Dhaka wants to remain optimistic that we would be able to establish a good relation with India making sure that bilateral interests are protected,” BSS said quoting Hossain. He emphasised the importance of a national consensus on foreign policy, saying Bangladesh could not fully capitalise its potentials due to political divisions. Following this week's anti-Hindu incidents -- including Das' arrest and attacks on Hindu temples and community members -- India on Friday said the interim government in Bangladesh must live up to its responsibility of protecting all minorities as it expressed serious concern over the “surge” of extremist rhetoric and increasing incidents of violence against Hindus as well as attacks on temples. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar told Parliament that India has taken serious note of incidents of violence against minorities in Bangladesh and that it is the primary responsibility of Dhaka to protect the life and liberty of all the citizens, including minorities. On the other hand, Bangladesh on Friday expressed deep concern over the violent protest at the Deputy High Commission in Kolkata and urged New Delhi to ensure the safety of all its diplomatic missions in India. Among other issues, Hossain also pointed out that there has been no progress on crucial issues between Bangladesh and India such as the Teesta water sharing agreement or the troubling problem of border killings, the BSS added.

McGregor must pay $250K to woman who says he raped her, civil jury rulesA major health insurance provider is backtracking on plans to cap anesthesia coverage for patients in at least one state. Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield announced last month that starting in 2025 it would stop covering anesthesia during patient surgeries in Connecticut, Missouri and New York if the procedure exceeds a certain time limit. The change was slated to take effect starting Feb. 1, 2025. RELATED STORY | Doctors perform kidney transplant on awake patient, who is out of hospital in 1 day However, Connecticut Comptroller Sean Scanlon said Thursday that Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield is scrapping the proposal in his state following widespread backlash over the policy change. "After hearing from the people across the state about this concerning policy, my office reached out to Anthem, and I'm pleased to share this policy will no longer be going into effect here in Connecticut," Scanlon said in a statement. While the health insurance provider announced the policy change in November, it gained renewed attention following the death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, who was fatally shot Wednesday in what is being described as a targeted attack outside a New York City hotel. The incident sparked widespread criticism of the U.S. health care system. RELATED STORY | Manhunt intensifies following 'targeted' killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Anthem said people under the age of 22 and those who are receiving maternity-related care are exempt from the change in anesthesia coverage. The company also said people who disagree with claim reimbursement decisions can dispute claim denials. "If you disagree with a claim reimbursement decision, please follow the claim dispute process as outlined in the provider manual," Anthem said in the announcement. "Documentation to support your request will be required." While Anthem has already reversed plans to limit anesthesia coverage for patients in Connecticut, it remains unclear whether the company will do the same for patients in Missouri and New York.
Maryland is suing the company that produces the waterproof material Gore-Tex often used for raincoats and other outdoor gear, alleging its leaders kept using “forever chemicals” long after learning about serious health risks associated with them. The complaint, which was filed last week in federal court, focuses on a cluster of 13 facilities in northeastern Maryland operated by Delaware-based W.L. Gore & Associates. It alleges the company polluted the air and water around its facilities with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances , jeopardizing the health of surrounding communities while raking in profits. The lawsuit adds to other claims filed in recent years, including a class action on behalf of Cecil County residents in 2023 demanding Gore foot the bill for water filtration systems, medical bills and other damages associated with decades of harmful pollution in the largely rural community. “PFAS are linked to cancer, weakened immune systems, and can even harm the ability to bear children,” Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown said in a statement. “It is unacceptable for any company to knowingly contaminate our drinking water with these toxins, putting Marylanders at risk of severe health conditions.” Gore spokesperson Donna Leinwand Leger said the company is “surprised by the Maryland Attorney General’s decision to initiate legal action, particularly in light of our proactive and intensive engagement with state regulators over the past two years.” “We have been working with Maryland, employing the most current, reliable science and technology to assess the potential impact of our operations and guide our ongoing, collaborative efforts to protect the environment,” the company said in a statement, noting a Dec. 18 report that contains nearly two years of groundwater testing results. But attorney Philip Federico, who represents plaintiffs in the class action and other lawsuits against Gore, called the company’s efforts “too little, much too late.” In the meantime, he said, residents are continuing to suffer — one of his clients was recently diagnosed with kidney cancer. “It’s typical corporate environmental contamination,” he said. “They’re in no hurry to fix the problem.” The synthetic chemicals are especially harmful because they’re nearly indestructible and can build up in various environments, including the human body. In addition to cancers and immune system problems, exposure to certain levels of PFAS has been linked to increased cholesterol levels, reproductive health issues and developmental delays in children, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Gore leaders failed to warn people living near its Maryland facilities about the potential impacts, hoping to protect their corporate image and avoid liability, according to the state’s lawsuit. The result has been “a toxic legacy for generations to come,” the lawsuit alleges. Since the chemicals are already in the local environment, protecting residents now often means installing complex and expensive water filtration systems. People with private wells have found highly elevated levels of dangerous chemicals in their water, according to the class action lawsuit. The Maryland facilities are located in a rural area just across the border from Delaware, where Gore has become a longtime fixture in the community. The company, which today employs more than 13,000 people, was founded in 1958 after Wilbert Gore left the chemical giant DuPont to start his own business. Its profile rose with the development of Gore-Tex , a lightweight waterproof material created by stretching polytetrafluoroethylene, which is better known by the brand name Teflon that’s used to coat nonstick pans. The membrane within Gore-Tex fabric has billions of pores that are smaller than water droplets, making it especially effective for outdoor gear. The state’s complaint traces Gore’s longstanding relationship with DuPont , arguing that information about the chemicals' dangers was long known within both companies as they sought to keep things quiet and boost profits. It alleges that as early as 1961, DuPont scientists knew the chemical caused adverse liver reactions in rats and dogs. DuPont has faced widespread litigation in recent years. Along with two spinoff companies, it announced a $1.18 billion deal last year to resolve complaints of polluting many U.S. drinking water systems with forever chemicals. The Maryland lawsuit seeks to hold Gore responsible for costs associated with the state’s ongoing investigations and cleanup efforts, among other damages. State oversight has ramped up following litigation from residents alleging their drinking water was contaminated. Until then, the company operated in Cecil County with little scrutiny. Gore announced in 2014 that it had eliminated perfluorooctanoic acid from the raw materials used to create Gore-Tex. But it’s still causing long-term impacts because it persists for so long in the environment, attorneys say. Over the past two years, Gore has hired an environmental consulting firm to conduct testing in the area and provided bottled water and water filtration systems to residents near certain Maryland facilities, according to a webpage describing its efforts. Recent testing of drinking water at residences near certain Gore sites revealed perfluorooctanoic acid levels well above what the EPA considers safe, according to state officials. Attorneys for the state acknowledged Gore’s ongoing efforts to investigate and address the problem but said the company needs to step up and be a better neighbor. “While we appreciate Gore’s limited investigation to ascertain the extent of PFAS contamination around its facilities, much more needs to be done to protect the community and the health of residents,” Maryland Department of the Environment Secretary Serena McIlwain said in a statement. “We must remove these forever chemicals from our natural resources urgently, and we expect responsible parties to pay for this remediation.”Letter: Do the Ducey deux
Patriots' coaches enter bye week confident Drake Maye can be a franchise quarterbackVICTORIA — British Columbia Premier David Eby says his fellow premiers and the federal government have hatched a game plan to fight U.S. tariffs, with conservative premiers lobbying Republican counterparts, left-leaning provincial leaders courting the Democrats, and Ottawa focusing on president-elect Donald Trump. The premiers and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau talked about using their political diversity and connections to thwart the prospect of Trump’s proposed 25 per cent tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, Eby said Thursday in a year-end interview. He said it was discussed that conservative premiers Danielle Smith in Alberta, Doug Ford in Ontario and Nova Scotia’s Tim Houston are well-placed to lobby Republican governors and business leaders. Eby said as a New Democrat he will likely have more in common with Democrat governors and business leaders from the West Coast states. “I can easily have conversations with governors and businesses down the West Coast of the U.S., where we have close relationships and our politics are very similar,” he said. “Premier Smith can have conversations with Republican governors. That would be more challenging for me, and (she) would have more connections potentially with the Trump administration than an NDP administration in B.C. would.” He said a meeting last week between the premiers and Trudeau discussed Canada’s diversity of representation, and how it could bring leverage and advantages in tariff talks. “It’s interesting, there was a lot of talk about what unity means in terms of Canada’s response to the tariffs,” he said. “There’s obviously a diversity of views around the Council of the Federation table of all the premiers. Certainly, mine is not the same as Premier Smith’s or Premier Ford’s or Premier Houston’s, and that diversity of views is actually potentially a significant strength for us as we enter into these discussions.” Eby also said he was prepared to appear on American’s right-leaning Fox News TV network, as did premiers Ford and Smith. “Anything that I can do to support the national effort to protect the families in Canada from the impact of tariffs and also families in the U.S. from those unjustified tariffs,” he said. “Absolutely, if I thought it was helpful.” This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 5, 2024.

KSE-100 recovers 928 points amid strong earnings outlook
NHL-worst Blackhawks fire coach Luke RichardsonWhenever the average golfer approaches a hole that is near a house, fear of shattering a window or hitting a car sets in. Former PGA star and current captain of LIV Golf League's Crushers Golf Club, Bryson Bryson DeChambeau, is far from average. He clearly also has no fear of shattering windows on his Texas mansion as fans have learned. Considering he's a professional, this makes sense, but DeChambeau has been tempting fate for over two weeks with a new TikTok challenge. The 31-year-old, who won the U.S. Open back in June, has been uploading videos of him attempting to sink a hole-in-one. However, as if it wasn't hard enough to accomplish the rare feat that every golfer yearns for, DeChambeau's challenge features him hitting shots over his house onto an artificial green in his backyard. On top of that, the number of attempts he gave himself was based on what day it was. On Wednesday, which was day 16, the challenge came to an end after shot No. 14. What a journey pic.twitter.com/iEQhu1KdwH According to Dallas ABC affiliate WFAA , the 31-year-old California native now resides in a Grapevine, Texas mansion that WFAA revealed he had been building over the past few years. A move that came after he listed his Dallas mansion for $3.2 million back in April, according to Realtor.com . As the millions of fans who watched him try this have learned over the past few weeks, during DeChambeau's pursuit of social media glory, he clearly had no issues avoiding breaking one of the many windows on his home. A sentiment that cannot be shared by various social media users who also attempted the challenge, but broke a window on their house or car . Raymond Carlin III-Imagn Images DeChambeau is now one of the biggest golf content creators in the game aside from being one of the best professionals in the world, tallying over 1.6 million YouTube subscribers and over one million TikTok followers. Now that he has nailed this challenge, his next social media endeavor is to break 50 with celebrity guests. He has already tried with notable names like Tony Romo, Phil Mickelson, John Daly and most recently, Tom Brady. The next LIV Golf event will take place at the Riyadh Golf Club∙in Saudi Arabia from Feb. 6-8. Related: Tiger Woods Makes Announcement That Sparks the Same Reaction From Fans
Hyderabad: The caste census initiated by the Congress government in Telangana on November 6 concluded today, November 30. However, several areas, particularly in Old City Hyderabad and other urban regions, remain partially or completely unsurveyed. This raises the question of whether the government will extend the survey deadline to cover the remaining households. Also Read: HYDRA Shocking Report: Majority of Hyderabad’s Lakes Have Vanished Reports indicate that in many places, citizens have refrained from sharing complete details with survey teams. In several cases, only partial information was provided, which was subsequently uploaded online, putting the effectiveness of the survey into question. In rural areas, the survey and data upload progressed relatively smoothly, whereas urban areas showed significant delays. Limited public awareness and engagement further hampered progress. In some areas, the survey process didn’t even begin, while in others, incomplete data was collected. According to survey staff, most individuals provided only basic details such as land ownership, loans, caste, and family information. However, details like income, livestock, and political affiliations were often withheld. “We are trying to convince people but are not insisting on all the details. We are recording whatever information they are willing to share. Many forms with incomplete data are being uploaded online,” said an official. In urban areas, reluctance was even more pronounced. While residents shared basic details like Aadhaar numbers and family information, crucial details like caste and income were often left out. Teachers deployed as enumerators also faced significant challenges. Residents in both rural and urban areas frequently questioned them about the implementation of “six guarantees” and the status of “Praja Palana” applications collected last December, adding to the enumerators’ difficulties. As of Thursday, data from 39,51,469 households had been uploaded online, leaving 6,59,839 households still to be surveyed. Among the districts, Mulugu led with 82.5% data uploaded, followed by Yadadri Bhongir at 74.2%, and Siddipet at 64.5%. In the GHMC limits , 81.5% of the survey had been completed, but data from 4,54,240 households was yet to be collected. Meanwhile, speculations suggest that the notification for Gram Panchayat elections may be issued around Sankranti, with elections likely to be conducted in February. Reports indicate that ballot voting might be adopted for the polls, which are expected to be held in three phases. Additionally, it is being considered to allow individuals with more than two children to contest the elections, deviating from the existing regulation. Proposals to establish five Gram Panchayats under each Mandal are also under review and may be discussed during the upcoming Assembly session, starting December 9. The caste survey aimed to collect comprehensive socio-economic data across Telangana. However, public reluctance, inadequate planning, and time constraints have posed challenges to its success. Whether the government will extend the survey deadline remains to be seen in the coming days.
