https://ift.tt/imWkTFE Hospitals in Beirut and across Lebanon are struggling to cope with hundreds of casualties after the Israeli military launched more than 100 air strikes within a 10-minute window. According to civil defence, at least 254 people have been killed and more than 1,100 injured, with the death count expected to rise as many remain in a critical condition. Rescuers are still working to reach those reported missing or trapped under the rubble of destroyed buildings.

Iran on Wednesday closed the Strait of Hormuz in response to Israeli attacks on Lebanon, the Associated Press reported. One of the first major strikes hit a cafe in Saida, killing eight...

Centre Says Time To Remove PIL As Concept; Supreme Court Says "We're Cautious"

Image
https://ift.tt/kQfUsmA The central government during a Supreme Court hearing on the Sabarimala issue on Wednesday questioned the relevance of public interest litigations (PILs) and asserted that it's time to remove them. In response, the Supreme Court indicated to the Centre that there was no need to go down that path as the courts are already cautious while receiving PILs. The Centre raised the matter after Supreme Court judge Justice BV Nagarathana asked why petitions filed by non-devotees have been admitted in the Sabarimala issue. The case is over a constitutional challenge - on the balance between women's rights and religious freedom - to the temple's ban on girls and women aged 10-50. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Centre, while arguing in reference to the Sabarimala case review petitions, urged the Supreme Court's nine-judge constitutional bench to go through his written submissions on the relevance of PILs.

https://ift.tt/LJkhlOY After a long wait, the teaser of Ramayana , starring Ranbir Kapoor as Rama, was released last week.

This is a story etched in the souls of ...

'Nothing Implies This, Buffoons': US Says Not Considering Nukes Against Iran

https://ift.tt/uxMtkhv US Vice President JD Vance warned Iran on Tuesday, hours before President Donald Trump's deadline ended at 8 pm EST (5.30 am IST), that America has "tools in our toolkit that we so far haven't decided to use". He expressed "hope", however, that negotiations would prevent their deployment. The reference to tools heightened fears that the US, which seems to be unsure about an end goal for the war, would use a nuclear weapon against Iran. An account associated with former vice president Kamala Harris also said Vance's remarks implied Trump "might use nuclear weapons". The White House took to X to quash the speculation and, in the same breath, insult those who thought it was a possibility. "Literally nothing @VP said here 'implies' this, you absolute buffoons," the White House's handle posted. Trump's Big Warning To Iran Earlier in the day, Trump had issued a big warning to Iran and said that the...

The first game was disappointing, but our batting was much better in the second game. Everyone is f...
