„Following large-scale anti-Israel protests across Bangladesh, at least 72 individuals were arrested for vandalism and looting. Demonstrations, condemning Israel's actions in Gaza, turned violent in cities like Bogra and Sylhet, resulting in attacks on businesses perceived to have Israeli ties.“

Trump’s tariffs may be perilous for small, heavily indebted countries in global south. “Garment workers in countries such as Cambodia among those who fear they will lose pay cheques if companies move production elsewhere… One of the most wilfully destructive aspects of Donald #Trump’s shock & awe #trade policy is the imposition of punitive #tariffs on developing countries across Asia, including rates of 49% for #Cambodia, 37% for #Bangladesh, 48% for #Laos. | The Guardian theguardian.com/business/2025/

Walking through an #OldNavy store (budget clothing in USA) & noting that everything I'm checking is made in #Vietnam or #Bangladesh. I don't remember what the #tariff on Bangladesh was but 96% rings a bell for Vietnam. Old Navy, like most retailers in their space, has something like 7-10% margin. Prices here will effectively double leaving #lowincome & #middleincome folks in a pinch and Old Navy and similar companies in trouble. Everyone is in trouble.

"National Citizen Party (NCP) Member Secretary Akhtar Hossain said they will never accept the rehabilitation of the Awami League, accusing the ousted party of committing genocide and crimes against humanity in Bangladesh.

'If anyone from the Awami League dares to join any programme of NCP in any way, we will resist and hand them over to the law. We believe that those who established fascism in Bangladesh have no moral right to do politics in the country,' he said.

Akhtar said this while talking to local journalists after attending a discussion held with NCP organizers at the Rangpur Chamber Building Auditorium on Friday night.

In response to a question, he said, 'In the current situation in Bangladesh, it is crucial to bring to justice those who committed genocide during the 2024 mass uprising.'

'This trial should not only focus on individuals, but also address the crimes against humanity that the Awami League, as a party, has inflicted on Bangladesh,' he added."

"Attorney General Md Asaduzzaman on Wednesday said that no matter how much conspiracies they are hatching from Delhi, the government will hold the trials of killers of the fascist regime.

'Ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is involved in an anti-state conspiracy sitting in Delhi. No matter how much conspiracies she hatches, we will bring the fascist murderers to justice,' he said.

The attorney general categorically said no conspiracy could turn the country’s people back from holding that trial."

"National Citizen Party (NCP) Member-Secretary Akhtar Hossain has said that democracy would mark victorious in the country if fascist forces can’t contest the upcoming polls.

'NCP has been demanding trial of Awami League as a party and cancellation of its registration so that no one in Bangladesh can do politics with its name and symbol,' he told reporters before starting a rickshaw van procession at Mahiganj Glass Factory ground in Rangpur city on Thursday noon.

Akhtar said that people of the country expect and want to build the future Bangladesh with the help of those youths who played a crucial role to oust the fascist regime and after that the country has got the opportunity to be emerged in a democratic environment."

"Cold hydraulic testing has been completed for Unit 1 of the Rooppur nuclear power station under construction in Bangladesh, Russian state nuclear corporation Rosatom said.

Russia is building two VVER-1200 pressurised water reactor units at the Rooppur site, about 150 km west of the capital Dhaka, under a general contract signed in 2015. The plants will be the first commercial nuclear units in Bangladesh.

Cold hydraulic testing verifies that welds, joints, pipes and components in the primary circuit are able to withstand pressures higher than those during normal operation.

In October 2024, workers completed assembling the reactor at Rooppur-1, including the reactor internals and head, and have loaded dummy fuel assemblies in the reactor core.

Initial concrete pouring for Rooppur-1 took place in November 2017, followed by Rooppur-2 in July 2018.

While earlier reports projected Rooppur-1 to start up in 2024, its launch is now likely expected to be delayed until at least late 2025.

The next stage of commissioning will include hot functional testing, which is to check performance of reactor systems under operational conditions, but without nuclear fuel."
