https://ift.tt/2hO4506 The India-US trade deal has sparked huge concern among the country's farmers, who feel that cheaper American products coming into the country will add to the challenges they face. The dairy sector, however, feels that those concerns might be misplaced.  In an exclusive interview with NDTV, Amul's Managing Director  Jayan Mehta said the agreement strongly protects the farmers and the agriculture sector and give them invaluable access to the US market.  "Market access is a very important part and a trade negotiation is always a two-way thing," he told NDTV.  "The negotiations were necessary to get larger market access and that was done with this deal. More importantly, the tariffs also coming down from 50 to 18 per cent, will bring in the Indian products, getting better access to those markets and paving a way for the brighter future for all those associated with this sector," he added.  "One of the key important aspects of the ...

Imran Khan Says SRK, Salman And Aamir Should Take Up 'Age-Appropriate' Roles

https://ift.tt/m9OFdQs For more than 30 years, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan have dominated Hindi cinema, maintaining a level of stardom rarely seen in the industry.  What's Happening While their names once guaranteed box-office success, audience expectations have shifted in recent years, with viewers becoming more selective about the content they consume. Actor Imran Khan believes this shift calls for introspection from senior stars. In a recent conversation with News18 , he spoke about how leading men inevitably age out of certain roles and need to adapt accordingly. "You cannot be playing the lead after a certain age," he said. Elaborating on his perspective, Imran explained, "As a leading man, actors also start to age out. There are certain years where you can work as a leading man, and then there comes an age where you are not able to play those roles. All three Khans are well into their 60s now. They have had 30 years of stardom, the likes of...

https://ift.tt/LgwotOb A mild reprimand for arriving late for a Class 12 preliminary test triggered an outburst of anger in a student who allegedly slapped the woman invigilator, for "daring" to question his behaviour in Panchmahal district.

In Wargame Simulation, Russia Invades A European Country. Then This Happens

https://ift.tt/BcE92bJ European governments are stepping up military planning amid rising fears that Russia may move against NATO or European Union countries sooner than expected. Europe may not be fully prepared to respond to such a threat, a recent wargame has revealed. The Baltic states, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, are considered key risk areas.  The wargame, held in December by Germany's Die Welt newspaper and the German Wargaming Center at Helmut Schmidt University, simulated a Russian incursion into Lithuania in October 2026. It involved former senior German and NATO officials, lawmakers, and security experts. Wargames are designed to identify gaps, risks, and possible outcomes without real fighting. In the simulation, Russia used a claimed humanitarian crisis in its Kaliningrad exclave to justify taking over the Lithuanian city of Marijampole, a transport hub near the borders of Poland and Belarus. The narrative created enough uncertainty for the United States to av...
