Bangladesh will take 'necessary steps' to secure the extradition of former prime minister Sheikh Hasina from India to try her on charges of mass killings, the newly appointed&nbsp;chief prosecutor of the country's&nbsp;International Crimes Tribunal (ICT), Mohammad Taijul, said on Sunday (Sep 8).&nbsp;

Hasina has sought refuge in the northern Indian city of Ghaziabad ever since fleeing Bangladesh as the demonstrators&nbsp;took over her official residence in the wake of the students' protest last month.&nbsp;&nbsp;

“Necessary steps will be taken to bring former prime minister Hasina back under the extradition treaty with India to try her on charges of mass killings during the student-led protests in July and August,”&nbsp;Taijul was quoted as saying by The Daily Star newspaper.

"We will file an application with the International Crimes Tribunal, when it resumes functions, to issue arrest warrants against all the accused, including Sheikh Hasina, in connection with the cases filed for mass killing and crimes against humanity," he added.&nbsp;

Last month,&nbsp;Bangladesh's ICT launched an investigation against Hasina and nine others on charges of genocide and crimes against humanity that took place between July and August during the peak of the students' protest against the 'unjust' quota system.&nbsp;

Taijul added that information, documents and evidence against the accused persons will be collected from across the country and compiled, examined and placed properly before the tribunal.&nbsp;

<h2>Yunus' hint</h2>

Taijul's statement comes a couple of days after&nbsp;Muhammad Yunus, the head of Bangladesh’s interim government, hinted at the extradition. Yunus said Hasina "should keep quiet"&nbsp;and asked New Delhi to move beyond the “narrative” that every political party other than Hasina’s Awami League is “Islamist”.

“We want to extradite killers and bring back the money embezzled by corrupt individuals, politicians and bureaucrats during the autocratic regime," said Yunus.&nbsp;

“If India wants to keep her until the time Bangladesh wants her back, the condition would be that she has to keep quiet.&nbsp;Sitting in India, she is speaking and giving instructions. No one likes it. It’s not good for us or for India," he added.&nbsp;

Notably, Hasina has alleged that the United States engineered her ouster from power and appointed Yunus as a pawn after she&nbsp;refused to cede sovereignty of St. Martin Island, which would have given Washington control over the Bay of Bengal.

"I resigned so that I did not have to see the procession of dead bodies. They wanted to come to power over the dead bodies of students, but I did not allow it. I resigned from premiership," Hasina said.&nbsp;

"I could have remained in power if I had surrendered the sovereignty of Saint Martin Island and allowed America to hold sway over the Bay of Bengal. I beseech to the people of my land, please do not be manipulated by radicals," she added.&nbsp;

Washington and Dhaka had been at loggerheads for some time when Hasina was in power. The friction was evident when Hasina won a fourth straight term in January but the US State Department did not accept the results saying the polls were not free and fair.

A 20-year-old Pakistani citizen, residing in Canada and arrested for planning a terror attack in New York, was aiming for it to be the 'largest attack on the US soil' - analysis of his social media footprint has revealed.&nbsp;

Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, also known as Shazeb Jadoon, was arrested in Canada on Wednesday (Sep 4) and charged with&nbsp;attempting to provide material support and resources to a designated foreign terrorist organisation (FTO), the Islamic State (IS).&nbsp;

Khan was planning a terrorist attack in the Big Apple around October 7 - the first anniversary of Hamas' terrorist attack on Israel, according to US Attorney General Merrick B. Garland.

Khan started posting about his support for the IS in or about November last year on social media and other encrypted messaging apps.&nbsp;

"If we succeed with our plan, this would be the largest attack on US soil since 9/11," he said in one of the messages.

A Philippine pastor wanted in the United States for child sex trafficking has been arrested, officials said Sunday (Sep 8), two weeks into a massive police manhunt.

"Apollo Quiboloy has been arrested," interior secretary Benjamin Abalos said on his official Facebook page without providing further details.&nbsp;

The politically connected pastor has also been charged with human trafficking in a Philippine court.

A self-proclaimed "Son of God" and ally of former president Rodrigo Duterte, Quiboloy is the founder of the Philippines-based Kingdom of Jesus Christ church that claims millions of members.

United States President Joe Biden's vacations have left Americans astonished, as the leader was seen on beaches almost as many days as he was in the office.

The 81-year-old commander-in-chief has taken 532 vacation days in a span of less than four years, which is almost 40 per cent of the 1,326 days he has remained in office.

An average American gets 11 days of vacation in a year, which means they will need to work approximately 48 years to accumulate 532 vacation days, according to data&nbsp;compiled by the Republican National Committee.

“The image of Biden fast asleep and lying flat on his back in his chair at the beach while America and the world are on fire will define the Biden presidency,” said Mark Paoletta, who was White House budget office's general counsel under former president Donald Trump.

“Inflation has been out of control; prices still way too high; our border overrun with millions of illegal aliens committing violent crimes on our citizens; the world in a perilous state; and all Biden wants to do is go on vacation and check out — for more than 530 days,” he added.

The RNC stated that Biden was having fun in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware last Saturday which was his “16th straight day on vacation.”

According to media reports, Biden has been maintaining a lower public profile since late July after withdrawing his candidacy from the presidential elections.&nbsp;

<h2>Biden breaks vacation records of all previous US presidents</h2>

Biden was on personal overnight trips away for all or part of 382 days of his first 957 days of presidency, which made him the most idle commander-in-chief of the United States, reported The New York Post.

Biden’s 40% out-of-office ratio has surpassed the record of former president Donald Trump, who used 26% of his presidency for going on personal trips.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama were on vacation for just 11% of their two-term presidencies and Jimmy Carter took off on&nbsp;79 days, which was 5% of his single term in office.

Rep. Nicole Malliotakis said that Biden should do a favour to Americans by taking more time off.

“We probably would have been better off if he did even less and went on vacation more,” Malliotakis said.

“Sadly, he repealed president Trump’s border policies, lifted sanctions on Iran that enriched them, and implemented anti-energy policies that drove up the cost gas, food and utility bills. If he just left things alone, things would be better," she added.

Meanwhile, White House spokesman Andrew Bates said, “It’s not a surprise that the same geniuses who attack President Biden for petting hero dogs and liking ice cream can’t count, but he has taken fewer vacation days than the modern average for presidents and works hard every day, wherever he is.”

Biden's vacay mode astonishes Americans as prez takes 532 leaves during 1,326 days in office

Britain's former RAF engineer and his wife have become the first couple in the country to have signed up using a double suicide pod to die together.

The couple, Peter and Christine Scott, have been married for 46 years and took the decision to die in a suicide pod after 80-year-old Christine, who was earlier a nurse, was diagnosed with early-stage vascular dementia weeks ago.

The British couple has decided they will travel to Switzerland where they will end their lives in each other's arms by using the death capsule Sarco.

The couple informed their family members about their tragic decision after suffering in a failing&nbsp;NHS and losing their life savings and home in the process to pay burdening care costs. The couple's son and daughter have reluctantly agreed to their decision.&nbsp;

The couple have six grandchildren and they are now making their registrations with Swiss-based organisation The Last Resort which offers the service of assisted dying in Sarco. This novel death capsule was unveiled in July.

Inside the pod, once the process of dying is activated, air - which is filled with 21 per cent oxygen and 79 per cent nitrogen - gets replaced with 100 per cent nitrogen.&nbsp;

In the process, the occupant slowly becomes unconscious and eventually dies in less than 10 minutes.

It was created by Australian-born Philip Nitschke, who has been nicknamed Doctor Death. He&nbsp;said that the first suicide will happen soon.&nbsp;

<h2>Here's why the couple chose assisted dying</h2>

The Scotts have decided to wait till the machine's new twin model gets launched later this year.

In an interview from their home in the Suffolk village of Mellis, the couple spoke about their plans and hoped that it would build more pressure on campaigns calling for allowance of assisted dying in the United Kingdom.

"We have had long, happy, healthy, fulfilled lives but here we are in old age and it does not do nice things to you," Peter said.

"The idea of watching the slow degradation of Chris's mental abilities in parallel to my own physical decline is horrific to me. Obviously, I would care for her to the point I could not, but she has nursed enough people with dementia during her career to be adamant she wants to remain in control of herself and her life. Assisted dying gives her that opportunity and I would not want to go on living without her," he added.

"We understand other people may not share our feelings and we respect their position. What we want is the right to choose. I find it deeply depressing we can't do that here in the UK," the former RAF engineer said.

"Yet look at the alternative. The chances of getting prompt NHS treatment for the ailments of old age seem pretty remote so you end up trapped by infirmity and pain. I don't want to go into care, to be lying in bed dribbling and incontinent – I don't call that a life. Finally, the Government swoops in to take your savings and your house to pay for it all," he added.

Peter said that he is going through all the paperwork currently which is required for the application. However, he is worried about Christine's application because it is difficult to get permission for assisted suicide for dementia.

While speaking to The Daily Mail, Dr Nitschke said that the couple's suicide pod is ready for launch. "The capsule for two people works exactly the same as the single Sarco but there is only one button so they will decide between them who will push it. Then they'll be able to hold each other and one of them will push the button," he said.

Inside the pod, a camera has been installed which will record their final moments before death.

Britain's former RAF engineer and his wife have become the first couple in the country to have signed up using a double suicide pod to die together. The couple, Peter and Christine Scott, have been married for 46 years and took the decision to die in a suicide pod after 80-year-old Christine, who was earlier a nurse, was diagnosed with early-stage vascular dementia weeks ago.

Britain's former RAF engineer and his wife have become the first couple in the country to have signed up using a double suicide pod to die together. The couple, Peter and Christine Scott, have been married for 46 years and took the decision to die in a suicide pod after 80-year-old Christine, who was earlier a nurse, was diagnosed with early-stage vascular dementia weeks ago. The British couple has decided they will travel to Switzerland where they will end their lives in each other's arms by using the death capsule Sarco. The couple informed their family members about their tragic decision after suffering in a failing NHS and losing their life savings and home in the process to pay burdening care costs. The couple's son and daughter have reluctantly agreed to their decision. Also Read: More students are committing suicides in India than population growth rate: Report The couple have six grandchildren and they are now making their registrations with Swiss-based organisation The Last Resort which offers the service of assisted dying in Sarco. This novel death capsule was unveiled in July. Inside the pod, once the process of dying is activated, air - which is filled with 21 per cent oxygen and 79 per cent nitrogen - gets replaced with 100 per cent nitrogen. In the process, the occupant slowly becomes unconscious and eventually dies in less than 10 minutes. It was created by Australian-born Philip Nitschke, who has been nicknamed Doctor Death. He said that the first suicide will happen soon. Here's why the couple chose assisted dying The Scotts have decided to wait till the machine's new twin model gets launched later this year. In an interview from their home in the Suffolk village of Mellis, the couple spoke about their plans and hoped that it would build more pressure on campaigns calling for allowance of assisted dying in the United Kingdom. "We have had long, happy, healthy, fulfilled lives but here we are in old age and it does not do nice things to you," Peter said. "The idea of watching the slow degradation of Chris's mental abilities in parallel to my own physical decline is horrific to me. Obviously, I would care for her to the point I could not, but she has nursed enough people with dementia during her career to be adamant she wants to remain in control of herself and her life. Assisted dying gives her that opportunity and I would not want to go on living without her," he added.

I find it deeply depressing we can't do that here in the UK," the former RAF engineer said. "Yet look at the alternative. The chances of getting prompt NHS treatment for the ailments of old age seem pretty remote so you end up trapped by infirmity and pain. I don't want to go into care, to be lying in bed dribbling and incontinent – I don't call that a life. Finally, the Government swoops in to take your savings and your house to pay for it all," he added. Peter said that he is going through all the paperwork currently which is required for the application. However, he is worried about Christine's application because it is difficult to get permission for assisted suicide for dementia. While speaking to The Daily Mail, Dr Nitschke said that the couple's suicide pod is ready for launch. "The capsule for two people works exactly the same as the single Sarco but there is only one button so they will decide between them who will push it. Then they'll be able to hold each other and one of them will push the button," he said. Inside the pod, a camera has been installed which will record their final moments before death.

Democrat vice president candidate Tim Walz has slammed his Republican rival JD Vance for commenting that school shootings were "a fact of life". Vance made the statement in the aftermath of the devastating Georgia school shooting where four people were killed.&nbsp;

Addressing an LGBTQ+ advocacy group on Saturday (Sep 7), Walz went all out against Trump's VP pick, adding that such events were "not a fact of life".

“It’s a fact of life some people are gay. But you know what’s not a fact of life? That our children need to be shot dead in schools,” Walz said.&nbsp;

“That’s not a fact of life. Folks are banning books, but they’re okay with weapons of war being in our schools," he added.&nbsp;

The Minnesota governor continued attacks on Vance, stating that he wouldn't let Republicans lecture him on "family values".&nbsp;

“He’s got a plan on childcare costs that no one in the world understood a damn word about. We organize, we donate, we volunteer,” said Walz, referring to the Senate's vote on the Child Tax Credit that Vance missed.&nbsp;

Previously, Kamala Harris's campaign spokesperson had also called out Vance and Donald Trump for aligning with the interests of the gun lobby.&nbsp;

“Vice President Harris and Governor Walz know we can take action to keep our children safe and keep guns out of the hands of criminals,” Harris spokesperson Ammar Moussa said.&nbsp;

“Donald Trump and JD Vance will always choose the NRA and gun lobby over our children. That is the choice in this election," he added.

Tim Walz slams JD Vance for terming Georgia school shooting ‘fact of life’

Pope Francis flew deep into the jungle of the Southwestern Pacific island nation of Papua New Guinea on Sunday to visit Catholics living in one of the most remote areas of the world and deliver medical supplies and other aid.

Travelling 1,000 km (620 miles) in a C-130 cargo aircraft provided by the Royal Australian Air Force, Francis arrived with a small entourage in Vanimo, a township of some 12,000 people in the northwestern corner of PNG's main island, with no running water and scarce electricity.

The 87-year-old pope brought hundreds of kilogrammes of items to help support the local population, said Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni. They included various medicines and clothing, as well as toys and musical instruments for schoolchildren, Bruni said.

The pope is visiting the nation of 600 islands as part of his ambitious 12-day, four-country tour of Southeast Asia and Oceania, the longest of his 11-year-old papacy.

He came to Vanimo at the invitation of local missionaries with the Catholic Institute of the Incarnate Word. They, like Francis, the first pope from the Americas, are from Argentina.

"You are doing something beautiful, and it is important that you are not left alone," Francis told the crowd, which the Vatican estimated at 20,000, of missionaries and Catholic faithful from Vanimo in a meeting outside the town's one-storey, wood-panelled cathedral parish.

"You live in a magnificent land, enriched by a great variety of plants and birds," said the pope. "The beauty of the landscape is matched by the beauty of a community where people love one another."

The Rev. Tomas Ravaioli, one of the missionaries, said he could not believe the pope had actually come to Vanimo. "He is keeping his promise to come," said the priest. "We cannot believe it. At his age he is making an enormous effort."

A sprawling country of mountains, jungle, and rivers, PNG is home to more than 800 languages and hundreds of tribes, including dozens of uncontacted peoples.

As with other events throughout his stay in the country, Francis was greeted in a field outside the cathedral with a traditional dance from a group wearing feathered headdresses and straw skirts. Some of the men wore koteka, a traditional gourd covering over the penis.

The pope also heard four testimonies from local Catholics. Steven Abala, a lay teacher, described how some rural communities, cut off from roads, must wait weeks or months between visits by priests.

Abala presented Francis with a headdress with yellow and brown feathers, which the pope tried on.

The Vatican says there are around 2.5 million Catholics in PNG, which has a population estimated at anywhere from 9 million to 17 million.

The country has become a major target of international companies for its gas, gold, and other reserves. In a speech to its political authorities on Saturday, Francis called for better treatment of its workers and appealed for an end to a spate of ethnic violence that has killed dozens in recent months.

In Vanimo, the pope asked local Catholics to work "to put an end to destructive behaviours such as violence, infidelity, exploitation, alcohol and drug abuse, evils that imprison and take away the happiness of so many of our brothers and sisters".

Before heading to Vanimo, Francis celebrated a Mass on Sunday with about 35,000 people at a sports venue in Port Moresby, the nation's capital. He told the local populace that while they may think they live in "a faraway and distant land", God is near to them.

The pope will return to Port Moresby on Sunday evening after spending about two and a half hours in Vanimo. Round trip, the pontiff will fly some 2,000 km (1,200 miles) over about four hours.

Francis is visiting PNG until Monday as part of a tour that first included a stop in Indonesia. He travels next to East Timor, then Singapore before heading back to Rome on Sept. 13.

Australia has taken a step towards inclusion. The Land Down Under will now include questions on sexual orientation and gender identity in its census. This is the first time this information will be recorded.&nbsp;

It comes after more than a week of controversy about Australia's centre-left government's earlier decision to exclude them.

<h2>Australian census and inclusivity</h2>

As per a Reuters report, Australian Treasurer Jim Chalmers said on Sunday (Sep 8) that the upcoming 2026 census would include questions on sexual orientation and gender.

However, he did not specify what the questions would be and said that the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) would design them later.

The questions, as per the report, would be optional and will only be asked to those over the age of 16 years.

<h2>'You matter'</h2>

Jim Chalmers said that the government has listened to the LGBTQIA+ community.

"We have listened to the LGBTIQ+ community to make sure that we can work with the ABS to deliver this really important change when it comes to the 2026 census," he said.

"We say to Australians from the LGBTIQ+ community: you matter, you've been heard, you will be counted."

"The message that we want to ensure that Australians hear from us today is that we understand the feedback that we got," he said, adding, "We said that we would find the best way to do this, and I believe that we have, and we will."

<h2>Why were the questions excluded earlier?</h2>

In August, the nation had decided to exclude questions about LGBTIQ+ identity.

At the time, Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles said this was done to avoid "divisive" community debates.

"We are doing that because we do not want to open up divisive debates in the community," he said.

Marles had denied any political motives behind the decision, as media reports speculated that the government was apprehensive about sparking a culture-war-like campaign ahead of the upcoming elections. In Australia, the elections are likely to be called within nine months.

A gunman killed three Israeli civilians in an attack near the Allenby Bridge border crossing with Jordan before security forces shot him dead on Sunday (Sept 8), the news agency Reuters reported, citing Israeli authorities.

A gunman killed three Israeli civilians in an attack near the Allenby Bridge border crossing with Jordan before security forces shot him dead on Sunday (Sept 8), the news agency Reuters reported, citing Israeli authorities. "A terrorist approached the area of the Allenby Bridge from Jordan in a truck, exited the truck, and opened fire at the Israeli security forces operating at the bridge," the Israeli military said. The military added that the terrorist was eliminated. Jordan closes border crossing with West Bank The Allenby Bridge border crossing is also known as the King Hussein Bridge. It lies about midway between Amman and Jerusalem, north of the Dead Sea. Following the incident, Jordan closed the King Hussein Bridge crossing with the occupied West Bank as it launched an investigation.

Private security guards operate the crossing alongside Israeli security forces stationed there. Violence in the West Bank has soared since the war in Gaza broke out after the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel. Since the Gaza war began, Israeli troops or settlers have killed at least 662 Palestinians in the West Bank, according to the claims of the Palestinian health ministry. US-Turkish woman shot dead at West Bank protest This incident near the Jordan border comes after an American-Turkish woman was shot dead while demonstrating against Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank town of Beita. Turkey identified the woman as Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, and condemned her death, while the United States called it a "tragic" event and pressed Israel to investigate. The UN rights office said Israeli forces killed Eygi with a "shot in the head." According to the UN, Eygi, 26, was participating in a "peaceful anti-settlement protest" in Beita, the scene of weekly demonstrations. (With inputs from agencies)

Trump targets Kamala Harris’ height in bizarre post ahead of debate

The mother of Colt Gray who shot dead four people at the Apalachee High School in Georgia said that she called school before the killings, warning staff of an “extreme emergency” involving her son, American media reported on Sunday (Sep 8).

The mother of Colt Gray who shot dead four people at the Apalachee High School in Georgia said that she called school before the killings, warning staff of an “extreme emergency” involving her son, American media reported on Sunday (Sep 8). Citing a relative of the Grays, a report by The Washington Post said that Colt's mother texted her saying she spoke with a school counsellor and urged them to “immediately” find her son to check on him. The relative, identified as Annie Brown, shared screenshots of the text exchange. The Washington Post report said that a call log from the family’s shared phone plan showed a call was made to the school about 30 minutes before the shootout happened. Colt Gray charged with murder Colt, 14, was charged with murder over the killing of two students and two teachers at Apalachee High School in Barrow County, outside Atlanta, on Wednesday. His father Colin was accused of second-degree murder for providing his son with a semiautomatic AR 15-style rifle. Both father and son made their first court appearance on Friday and their lawyers declined to immediately seek bail.

I’m going to be mad as hell if he did, and then all the guns will go away,” Colin told Jackson County sheriff’s investigator Daniel Miller. Middle school had also been rough for Colt, his father pointed out. The boy had just a few friends and frequently got picked on. Some students “just ridiculed him day after day after day,” his father said. (With inputs from agencies)

Trump, who in December of last year had promised if elected he'll only be a dictator for one day, unleashed a tirade of insults and dark imagery against Harris.
