Donald Trump's impeachments have been deleted from the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. As per reports, the 47th President of the United States, who happens to be the only POTUS to be impeached twice, has been removed from the "impeachment" exhibit, part of the wider exhibit called "The American Presidency". The display, which until July 2025 included references to both of Trump's impeachments, now states, "Only three presidents have seriously faced removal".<h2>Trump's impeachment display</h2>As per the Washington Post, the exhibit featuring Trump's impeachments has been up since September 2021. However, it has now been taken down, supposedly as part of a content review that the Smithsonian has "agreed to undertake following pressure from the White House to remove an art museum director".While, according to the report, the Smithsonian has said that "a future and updated exhibit will include all impeachments", all except a brief mention of the impeachments is made by the online companion. However, it doesn't provide much information about the cases.

<h2>United States' impeached presidents</h2>In the US, four presidents have been impeached:<ul><li>Andrew Johnson in 1868 for violating the Tenure of Office Act—was acquitted by the Senate later.</li><li>Richard Nixon, in 1974, faced impeachment proceedings for his role in the Watergate scandal. However, he resigned before the House could vote on the impeachment motion.</li><li>Bill Clinton in 1998 for the perjury and obstruction of justice related to his affair with Monica Lewinsky — was acquitted by the Senate later.</li><li>Donald Trump, as mentioned, has been impeached twice. In 2019, he was impeached for abuse of power and for alleged unlawful solicitation from Ukraine. In 2021, he was impeached over the Jan 6 US Capitol insurrection. Both times, he was acquitted by the Senate.</li></ul><h2>Trump rewriting history?</h2>Since his return to the White House, Donald Trump has made multiple attempts to exert influence over American cultural institutions. Since January of this year, he has taken over the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, has made drastic changes at the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities and has imposed budget cuts on the National Park Service.In March, in an apparent bid to exert influence on the Smithsonian, he signed an executive order to eliminate what he called "anti-American ideology" across the Smithsonian museums and "restore the Smithsonian Institution to its rightful place as a symbol of inspiration and American greatness." He later, without any authority, tried to fire Kim Sajet, the director of the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery, accusing her of being "a highly partisan" person. To back his attempts, his White House later published a list of 17 instances, including the caption for the museum's presidential portrait for Trump, which mentioned the two impeachments and "incitement of insurrection" for Jan 6.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The exhibit featuring Trump's impeachments has been up since September 2021. However, it has now been taken down, supposedly as part of a content review that the Smithsonian has "agreed to undertake following pressure from the White House to remove an art museum director".

Trump rewriting history? Smithsonian removes reference to his two impeachments from presidency exhibit

Erica Kahn was not ready for what happened to her at the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area in Arizona. The Massachusetts woman soaking in the view when a bat flew into her mouth. The incident cost her medical bills worth $21,000, none of which she could pay through her medical insurance. The strange story was first reported by KFF News on Thursday. It was night time when she was sightseeing at the canyon, admiring the night sky, when suddenly a bat flew towards her. It got caught between her mouth and the camera. A part of the creature entered her mouth. "It got kind of tangled between my face and the camera", she said, adding while it was only for a few seconds, it felt a lot longer. This caused a health scare as bats are know to carry several viruses. Her father, who was travelling with her, suggested she takes preventive measures and not wait for any symptoms to show up. "It was kind of dark out and we were out on a cliff, so I was looking down and at my camera, I didn't really see it coming," she told NBC News on Friday. The problem was that she didn't have any health insurance since the 33-year-old had left her job as a biomedical engineer.&nbsp;Kahn had declined to continue with her former employer’s insurance which required her to pay $650 a month through COBRA, the federal continuation of health coverage law. She figured she was young and healthy, so she took her chances. When her father pushed her to get care for rabies, she bought a new insurance online before going to the doctor. She then got her rabies vaccinations and treatment in Arizona, Colorado and Massachusetts. Kahn assumed her insurance paid for it. However, this was not the case since her coverage did not start immediately. She started getting bills worth a total of $20,749. The 30-day waiting period meant she could not use it for the rabies shots. Medical insurance with most companies almost never starts immediately. Kahn is frustrated about this, just like others. "It should be a human right to have lifesaving care covered," she said. She cited the example of Europe presumably people can get rabies vaccines for free.&nbsp;She now regrets not opting for the continuation of her health plan, or purchasing private insurance after she left. "I should have done COBRA, even though it was very expensive," Kahn said. "But yeah, hindsight is 20/20." Kahn has almost $21,000 in bills to pay and hopes others will learn from her case.

A Florida jury on Friday ordered Tesla to pay hundreds of millions of dollars to plaintiffs who blamed a deadly 2019 crash on the company's "Autopilot" driver assistance technology.The jury found Tesla's system partly responsible for a crash in Key Largo that killed Naibel Benavides Leon and injured her boyfriend, Dillon Angulo, according to attorney Darren Jeffrey Rousso, a partner at the law firm that represented Angulo and Leon's family.The plaintiffs had alleged that Autopilot was to blame when driver George McGee's Tesla careened into a Chevrolet sport utility vehicle, killing Leon and injuring Angulo.The jury awarded $200 million in punitive damages, plus $59 million in compensatory damages to Leon's family and $70 million in damages to Angulo, according to court records.Since the jury assigned one-third of the blame to Tesla, the compensatory damages will be reduced, Rousso said, with the total impact of the jury award totalling $242 million after these reductions."Justice was done," Rousso said. "The jury heard all the evidence and came up with a fair and just verdict on behalf of our clients."Tesla will appeal the decision, according to its defense attorneys."Today's verdict is wrong and only works to set back automotive safety and jeopardise Tesla's and the entire industry's efforts to develop and implement life-saving technology," Tesla said through its legal team."The evidence has always shown that this driver was solely at fault because he was speeding, with his foot on the accelerator -– which overrode Autopilot –- as he rummaged for his dropped phone without his eyes on the road," Tesla said."To be clear, no car in 2019, and none today, would have prevented this crash. This was never about Autopilot."Disclaimer: This story has been published from a news agency feed with minimal edits to adhere to WION's style guide.

Despite US President Donald Trump's newly imposed penalties on top of a 25 per cent tariff for its trade relations with Russia, Indian oil refiners, as per reports, continue to source oil from Russian suppliers, suggest reports. The Indian oil refiners' decision is reportedly based on the price, grade of crude, inventories, logistics, and other economic factors and has nothing to do with the prevailing political atmosphere. Previously, on Friday (Aug 1), speaking on similar lines, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal, while speaking about media reports that some Indian oil firms had paused Russian imports, said he was not aware of any such developments. He noted that India's broad approach to energy sourcing requirements depends on "what is available in the market and the prevailing global situation."<h2>Why is Russian oil in the headlines, and what does India have to do with it?</h2>On Thursday (Jul 31), Trump signed an executive order imposing new tariffs on dozens of its trade partners. This included a 25 per cent tariff rate and a penalty on India. The tariffs come amid growing criticism from Washington over India's continued imports of discounted Russian oil, despite Western sanctions related to the Ukraine war.However, as per an ANI report citing sources, despite US' pressure, India continues to source oil from Russian suppliers. As per the report, this is because Moscow is the world's second-largest crude oil producer with an output of around 9.5 mb/d (nearly 10 per cent of global demand). It is also the second-largest exporter, shipping about 4.5 mb/d of crude and 2.3 mb/d of refined products. In March 2022, amid fears of Russian oil getting pushed out of the market, Brent crude prices soared to US $137 per barrel."In this challenging environment, India, as the world’s third-largest energy consumer with 85% crude oil import dependence, strategically adapted its sourcing to secure affordable energy while fully adhering to international norms," said the news agency's unnamed sources. They added that Russian oil has never been sanctioned. Instead, the nation was subjected to a G7/EU price cap mechanism that is designed to limit revenue while making sure global supplies flowed uninterrupted. Calling India's purchases legitimate and in line with international norms, they added that "Had India not absorbed discounted Russian crude combined with OPEC+ production cuts of 5.86 mb/d, global oil prices could have surged well beyond the March 2022 peak of US$137/bbl, intensifying inflationary pressures worldwide".This, they said, means that India's energy decisions, while being guided by the nation's interests, also contributed positively to global energy stability and kept oil flowing, prices stable, and markets balanced, while fully respecting international frameworks.

Dangerous sea creatures that can leave your skin burning for hours are washing ashore on US beaches. People are being warned not to touch them if they wish to avoid the sting of hundreds of bristles filled with a poisonous substance. Experts say it is a toxic species of marine fireworm, known as Amphinome rostrata, which has been spotted on the shores of Corpus Christi in Texas. They are bright in colour, but under no circumstances should one approach them. They are aptly named fireworms because of the sting they deliver. Jace Tunnell, director of community engagement at the Harte Research Institute, was the first to encounter them and immediately alerted the rest. Warning about the creepy creatures, Tunnell said that a single contact "feels like fire for about three hours." The marine fireworms are around 7.5 inches long and packed with hundreds of sharp spikes, which are not clearly visible to the human eye.

Upon contact, the bristle breaks off and embeds itself into the skin of the victim. Even one tiny needle-like bristle can deliver a powerful dose of neurotoxins, giving the sensation that the skin is on fire. The burning sensation leads to hours-long pain, and also causes dizziness, nausea, and skin irritation. Experts say this happens because the toxins released by the needle into the human body interfere with the nervous system. Killing them is also not foolproof. If a fireworm is slashed into two, it can regrow its body. Tunnell says that he has personally experienced the feeling of being on fire as several of these have embedded into his skin in the past. However, some people might feel only a mild sensation, but that might not be true for the majority.

Russia's lawmaker, Viktor Vodolatsky said that the number of Russian nuclear submarines in the world's oceans is significantly higher than the American ones. His remark comes after US President Donald Trump ordered two nuclear submarines to be positioned in the "appropriate regions" near Russia after being triggered by the choice of words used by former president Dimtry Medvedev. &nbsp;“The number of Russian nuclear submarines in the world's oceans is significantly higher than the American ones, and the subs that US President Donald Trump ordered to be redirected to the appropriate regions have long been under their control. So no response from the Russian Federation to the American leader's statement about the submarines is required,” Vodolatsky, was quoted as saying by TASS. "Let the two US subs sail, they have been in the crosshairs for a long time now. A fundamental agreement that must be concluded between Russia and America so that the whole world calms down and stops talking about the beginning of World War III," he added. Meanwhile, editor-in-chief of Russia in Global Affairs magazine, Fyodor Lukyanov, said that Trump's nuclear submarine statement should not be taken seriously for now.<h2>What did Dmitry Medvedev's say that triggered Trump?</h2>In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote, “Tell Medvedev, the failed former President of Russia, who thinks he’s still President, to watch his words. He’s entering very dangerous territory!” This comes after Medvedev said that Russia is not Iran or Israel, and mocked Trump's ‘10-day ultimatum’ to Russia for ending the Ukraine war. He added that Trump's ultimatum might actually be “a step towards war.” “Each new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war. Not between Russia and Ukraine, but with his own country,” he wrote on X. In another post on X, Medvedev criticised Trump's action on BRICS, stating that the group is gaining prominence an doing everything right. Earlier this month, after US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, the former Russian president had said that Trump's action only emboldened the Iranian leadership and exposed Israel and America's weaknesses in front of the world.&nbsp;What seems to have angered Trump the most was Medvedev's stark reminder to US about Russia's devastating nuclear strike capabilities, including its so-called ‘Doomsday’ systems. Medvedev reminded Trump about his favourite film, ‘Walking Dead’, recalling the Soviet era, how dangerous the fabled 'Dead Hand' can be. Dead Hand, also known as the Perimeter, is a Cold War-era semi-automated nuclear retaliation system. It is termed as Russia's ‘Doomsday Device’, it is for a post-apocalyptic scenario. The terrifying purpose of this device is to launch a retaliatory nuclear strike even if the Russian leadership is completely wiped out.

'Number of subs in oceans...': Trump's nuclear submarines threat 'not taken seriously' in Russia - What Russian lawmaker said

United States President Donald Trump said Friday (Aug 1) he's ordering the repositioning of two nuclear submarines "to appropriate regions" &nbsp;in response to "highly provocative" comments by former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. Trump, for the last few days has been locked in a war of words with Medvedev, who is now deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council. Medvedev recently threatened the US in response to Trump's warning to Moscow to halt the war with Ukraine and agree to a ceasefire.&nbsp;“Based on the highly provocative statements of the Former President of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, who is now the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, I have ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.&nbsp;“Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances. Thank you for your attention to this matter!,” Trump added.&nbsp;Soon after the remarks were made by Trump, Viktor Vodolatsky, a senior Russian lawmaker replied by saying, "The number of Russian nuclear submarines in the world's oceans is significantly higher than the American ones, and the subs that US President Donald Trump ordered to be redirected to the appropriate regions have long been under their control. So no response from the Russian Federation to the American leader's statement about the submarines is required."&nbsp;Russia, US nuclear power and warheads&nbsp;The situation raises fears of clashes between two of the most high profile nuclear armed countries. According to Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), United States and Russia account for around 90 percent of the world's stockpile.&nbsp;Together they poses roughly 12,331 nuclear warheads, with over 9,600 in active military stockpiles, according to the Federation of Atomic Scientists' 2025 Status of the Worlds Nuclear Forces.&nbsp;And among both the countries, Russia has over 5,500 nuclear warheads, most confirmed nuclear weapons. While US is second in the list with 5,044 nuclear weapons. Notably, some of the nuclear warheads of the US are positioned in 5 other nations: Turkey, Italy, Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands.&nbsp;In total there are nine countries; China, France, United Kingdom, India, Pakistan, North Korea and Israel that poses nuclear weapons. However, the total number of warheads for North Korea and Israel is unconfirmed.&nbsp;Since the end of the Cold War, nuclear capable countries like the US, Russia and France have taken measures to dismantle old warheads, resulting in a decrease in the overall number.&nbsp;During the Cold War, both US and Russia had approximately 70,000 warheads which has now declined to 12,331 nuclear arsenals. &nbsp;

Trump's submarine threat: Russia, US possess most nuclear arms in the world. Who has what at a glance

US President Donald Trump on Friday (Aug 1) claimed to have heard that India may stop buying oil from Russia, calling it "a good step" if true. His statement comes just days after he imposed a 25 per cent tariff on India, saying the US has a massive trade deficit with the country. He also said that India will be paying additional penalties due to its trade relations with Russia. However, in New Delhi, the government pushed back, saying it was its sovereign right to take energy decisions based on national interest and market dynamics.<h2>What did Trump say about India?</h2>The US president, when asked if he planned to speak with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and if he had a penalty figure in mind, said, "I understand that India is no longer going to be buying oil from Russia. That's what I heard; I don't know if that's right or not. That is a good step. We will see what happens..."When asked if he was open to negotiating with India, Trump said, "We're talking to them now. We'll see what happens. Again, India was the highest or just about the highest tariff nation in the world, one of the highest, 100 points, 150 points or percentages. So India was one of the highest in the world. They had 175 per cent and higher than that."However, he emphasised US-India ties and his friendship with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi whom he referred to as a "good friend". "As you know, Prime Minister Modi is a friend of mine, but they don't do very much business in terms of business with us. They sell a lot to us, but we don't buy from them. You know why? Because the tariff is so high. They have one of the highest tariffs in the world. Now they're willing to cut it very substantially. But we'll see what happens. We're talking to India now," he said.<h2>What is India's stand on the US tariff matter?</h2>Earlier on Friday, the Ministry of External Affairs addressed media reports that some Indian oil firms had paused Russian imports. MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said he was not aware of any such developments. "You are aware of our broad approach to energy sourcing requirements, that we look at what is available in the market and the prevailing global situation. We are not aware of any specifics," Jaiswal said. The comments come amid growing criticism from Washington over India's continued imports of discounted Russian oil, despite Western sanctions related to the Ukraine war. Both Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have publicly voiced concern in recent weeks.

Trump calls reports of India halting Russian oil purchase 'good step' calls PM Modi a 'good friend'

United States President Donald Trump on Thursday (July 31) came down heavily on former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, warning him to ‘watch his words' because he is entering a dangerous territory. Trump's sudden outburst on Medvedev came as he criticised India and Russia as ‘dead economies’ and reiterated that New Delhi charges very high tariffs. He also seemed miffed by India's stance to buy Russian oil and weapons, and even announced additional ‘penalty’ on the country. However, he brushed aside his grievances and pressed that he does not care about trade between India and Russia.&nbsp;<h2>What triggered Trump to go behind Medvedev?</h2>In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote, “Tell Medvedev, the failed former President of Russia, who thinks he’s still President, to watch his words. He’s entering very dangerous territory!” This comes after Medvedev said that Russia is not Iran or Israel, and Trump's ultimatum to end the Ukraine war and his deadline mean nothing to the Russians. He added that Trump's ultimatum might actually be “a step towards war.” “Each new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war. Not between Russia and Ukraine, but with his own country,” he wrote on X. He also warned the US president not to take the route taken by his predecessor Joe Biden, whom Trump calls ‘seepy Joe’.

And about the ‘dead economy’ of India and Russia and ‘entering dangerous territory’ – well, let him recall his favourite films about "walking dead," as well as how dangerous a non-existent in nature ‘dead hand’ can be."

Montana bar shooting leaves 4 dead, manhunt launched for armed suspect - Here's what we know

A facility that once produced parts for US nuclear weapons was found to be housing a radioactive wasp nest with extremely high radiation levels. The revelation was made in the US Department of Energy report released last week. The site near Aiken in South Carolina was harbouring a wasp nest with radioactive levels ten times what is permitted. The report stated that there were no wasps in the nest, although it was sprayed to kill any. The nest was then "bagged as radiological waste." The shocking discovery raised fears that the site could have had a nuclear leak. However, the investigators did not find any signs of a leak, BBC reported. They also inspected the nearby area and noted that there was neither any environmental damage nor impact on the public. The Savannah River Site (SRS) is routinely inspected for nuclear radiation. The nest was discovered by workers on 3 July on a post near the tanks that store millions of gallons of liquid nuclear waste.

According to investigators, it had occurred due to "onsite legacy radioactive contamination". The plant was once actively producing parts for nuclear bombs during the Cold War. In the 1950s, plutonium was produced here to build the core of nuclear bombs. Residual radioactivity remains at the site from that time, which was carried to the nest. Environmental activists have slammed the government after the discovery of the wasp nest. The insects could have carried radioactive material with them. However, the energy department wrote in its report that the wasps that lived in the nest would have significantly lower radiation levels than the nest. It also doesn't think that the wasps who built the nest would have gone too far. The report mentioned that wasps travel only a few hundred feet from their nest. Since the nest was found in the middle of the Savannah River Site, it is highly unlikely that the wasps went out of the facility. "No contamination was found in the area," the report notes. "There were no impacts to workers, the environment or the public," the report stated.

Several more in Ring of Fire will explode, experts warn</a>&nbsp;<h2>Watchdog slams probe into Savannah River Site</h2>However, experts monitoring the Savannah site are not convinced by the answers. Savannah River Site Watch, a watchdog group, states that those concerned need to come up with a better explanation for the radioactive waste that seeped into the wasp nest. Spokesman Tom Clements told the Associated Press, "I'm as mad as a hornet that SRS didn't explain where the radioactive waste came from or if there is some kind of leak from the waste tanks that the public should be aware of." The site is still active, but only produces material for nuclear power. Reportedly, 43 of the underground tanks are still in use, while only eight have been shut down. &nbsp;

The discovery of a highly radioactive wasp nest at the Savannah River Site in South Carolina has raised fears of a nuclear leak. Experts think that the contaminated wasps could also have carried the radiation with them. A probe tried to soothe concerns, but a lot of people are pretty angry.

At least 30 people were injured, three of them critically, after several coaches of a train derailed near Lahore, officials said on Saturday (Aug 2). According to Pakistan Railways, the Islamabad Express derailed near Sheikhupura on Friday (Aug 1) evening.&nbsp;The train had just left Lahore and was en route to Rawalpindi when it went off the tracks near a chemical plant in Kala Shah Kaku, about 50 kilometres from Lahore. In a statement late Friday, Pakistan Railways confirmed that 10 coaches derailed, adding that no fatalities had been reported so far.<h2>What happened?&nbsp;</h2>The derailment occurred roughly 30 minutes after the train departed Lahore station. The cause of the accident is yet to be determined. "At least 10 coaches of the train have been derailed in Sheikhupura, leaving about 30 passengers injured. Three of them are critical," Pakistan Railways said.&nbsp;Rescue teams quickly reached the site and began pulling injured passengers from the wreckage. As per a Dawn report citing Punjab Rescue 1122, around 22 people were administered first aid at the scene of the accident. Several others were taken to nearby hospitals for treatment, while efforts continued late into the night to free those still trapped inside the derailed coaches.In a statement, the rescue service said, "Two people were trapped in the bogies, but they have been rescued and moved to the hospital...One of them sustained hip injuries." It added that "the initial rescue operation has been completed and there is no information about anyone being killed in the accident yet".Meanwhile, Pakistani Railways Minister Muhammad Hanif Abbasi has reportedly ordered an investigation into the incident. He has asked the Railways CEO and divisional superintendent to visit the site and oversee relief operations. He also directed that a detailed report on the train derailment be submitted within seven days. &nbsp;

The deadly midair collision between a US Army helicopter and a commercial passenger jet that killed 67 people in January may have been caused by faulty altitude readings aboard the military aircraft. This was revealed at an investigative hearing into the crash. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the US agency tasked with looking into the fatal aircraft crash, held hearings this week, from Wednesday to Friday. It revealed that the Sikorsky Black Hawk helicopter involved in the crash may have been flying lower than its instruments showed at the time of impact—potentially contributing to the tragedy.<h2>‘Concerning’ faulty altimeter readings the cause?</h2>The crash occurred on January 29 just outside Washington, DC, as a Bombardier CRJ700 passenger jet was making its final approach to Reagan National Airport. The jet, operated by a regional subsidiary of American Airlines, had departed from Wichita, Kansas. The Black Hawk, meanwhile, was on a training flight. All 67 people aboard both aircraft were killed. There were no survivors.The NTSB's investigative hearing, held over three days this week, brought together experts, air traffic controllers, and federal regulators for intense questioning. One shocking detail that emerged from the hearings: a mismatch between two of the helicopter's key instruments—the radar altimeter and the barometric altimeter.Under the investigation, tests were conducted on three similar Black Hawk Lima models from the same Army battalion. The findings revealed this week showed a significant difference between the altitude indicated by the radar altimeter and the barometric altimeter on the aircraft.Marie Moler, a lead investigator, explained that tests "showed an 80- to 130-foot (24- to 40-meter) difference in flight". In test environments without full rotor lift, the margin narrowed to 20 to 55 feet."Once the helicopter rotors were turning and producing lift and thrust, the altimeter readings lowered significantly and stayed lower throughout the flights," Moler said.NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy said the finding is troubling. "A 100-foot difference is significant,” she noted, especially in the airspace where the crash occurred—just over the Potomac River, where helicopters are required to fly below 200 feet (60.96 metres)."I am concerned. There is a possibility that what the crew saw was very different than what the true altitude was," Homendy added.The NTSB first flagged the issue in a preliminary report back in February, but the latest findings suggest the altimeter discrepancy wasn't a one-off error. It could be systemic.Despite no current evidence linking staffing decisions to the crash, President Donald Trump had sought to blame diversity hiring policies in aviation for the tragic midair collision.

President Donald Trump on Friday ordered the firing of the head of the Bureau of Labour Statistics, hours after a shocking government report showed that hiring had slowed down significantly over the past three months. Trump took to Truth Social and attacked Erika McEntarfer, the commissioner of the BLS. He claimed that the country’s jobs reports “are being produced by a Biden appointee” and ordered his administration to terminate her.“We need accurate Jobs Numbers,” Trump wrote. “She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified. Important numbers like this must be fair and accurate, they can’t be manipulated for political purposes.”&nbsp;An official in the Trump administration confirmed to NBC News that McEntarfer had indeed been fired shortly after the post.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The BLS on Friday morning reported that the US economy added just 73,000 jobs in July, well below estimates. It also said it had revised the May and June numbers lower by more than 200,000 jobs combined. President Joe Biden had nominated McEntarfer in July 2023 and she was confirmed by the Senate in an 86-to-8 vote (with six members not voting) in January 2024 in an overwhelming bipartisan support.In the last 20 years, McEntarfer has worked in the Census Bureau, Treasury Department and on the White House’s Council of Economic Advisers. The BLS revises economic data such as the jobs report, GDP figures and inflation data as a routine since there can often be lags in data collection due to the scale of the US economy and response rates to surveys. These lags do not imply any manipulation or wrongdoing. Typically, the politicisation of economic data and potential interference with it by political appointees is seen in non-democratic countries like Russia or China.The economic data of the United States has always been considered the gold standard due to the independence typically given to agencies collecting it.

In the post, President Trump implied that the BLS commissioner, longtime federal employee Erika McEntarfer, manipulated the data “for political purposes” and claimed that the country’s jobs reports “are being produced by a Biden appointee”.

A growing number of teenagers in the United States (US) are using caffeine pouches to get a quick energy boost and some experts are worried about this trend as this trend could soon spread to the United Kingdom (UK). These small pouches, which look like tiny teabags are placed between the lip and gum and they release caffeine directly into the bloodstream of the body for fast effect. Some influencers on social media are openly promoting these pouches, saying they can help at the gym or during exams.&nbsp;&nbsp;A doctor from George Washington University, Dr. Rob van Dam, says that many of these caffeine products (pouches) are openly sold on TikTok Shops and come in different sweet flavours that can easily attract young people.&nbsp;Each pouch can contain enough caffeine to make two cups of coffee, which means it can easily lead to unpleasant or even dangerous side effects.&nbsp;In the United Kingdom, there is already a big concern about the teens using nicotine pouches or snus (a smokeless, powdered form of tobacco) and the rising trend of caffeine pouches might also become the next big concern for the parents.&nbsp;One of the biggest issues with these caffeine pouches is that they are easy to hide, and it's very difficult to guess that someone has one in their mouth. Some users on social media also mentioned using the two pouches at once for a stronger buzz.&nbsp;By using the two pouches at once, the caffeine will work fast, and the effects can kick in within minutes and last for hours. If too much caffeine is taken, then it can also lead to serious health problems.<h2>What can too much caffeine do?</h2>Caffeine is a stimulant (a drug or medicine that makes you feel more active). It can help people to feel more awake and focused by affecting their brain and nervous system. But caffeine also affects the heart and other parts of the human body.&nbsp;&nbsp;High doses of caffeine can cause a fast heartbeat in the human body, and in some rare cases, people have also died from caffeine overdoses. While there are some people who are more sensitive than others. Even a small amount of caffeine dosage can cause them anxiety, nausea, and headaches in their body. &nbsp;<h2>How to overcome caffeine addiction?</h2>The NHS and British Dietetic Association recommend that young people should limit the use of caffeine products. For children, the safe limit for caffeine is about 3 mg per kilogramme of body weight. So, if a child weighs 30 kg, then the child should not have more than 90 mg of caffeine in a day.&nbsp;Some experts also suggest that instead of relying on caffeine, people can have regular and balanced meals. They also mentioned that people should consume more water to stay hydrated. Foods rich in iron, protein, and slow-burning carbs (foods that release energy into the bloodstream) can help to maintain the energy levels in the body throughout the day.

In the United States (US) and the United Kingdom(UK), there is already a big concern about the teens using nicotine pouches. Now, the growing use of caffeine pouches could become the next major concern for parents.

US President Donald Trump said on Friday that he has ordered the deployment of two nuclear submarines to “appropriate regions” in response to Russia’s nuclear threats. Trump had been trading barbs with former president Dmitry Medvedev, who is now deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, over the last few days.&nbsp;“Based on the highly provocative statements of the Former President of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, who is now the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, I have ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.“Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances. Thank you for your attention to this matter!,” Trump added in the post.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Donald Trump’s post on Truth Social

The development comes after some exchange escalated on social media between Trump and Medvedev hours earlier. Trump had said Medvedev should “watch his words” in a midnight post, and Medvedev reminded him of Russia’s nuclear capabilities left over from its Soviet days. Medvedev accused Trump of engaging in a “game of ultimatums”.&nbsp;Moscow, which has set out its own terms for peace in Ukraine, has shown no sign that it will comply with Trump’s new deadline of 10 days.&nbsp;Medvedev has emerged as one of the Kremlin’s most outspoken anti-Western hawks since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022.&nbsp;After Trump set a new deadline for a ceasefire with Russia, Medvedev responded by warning him that it was a step towards war and added, “Don’t go down the Sleepy Joe road!”In response, Trump called Medvedev a “failed former President” and warned him to “watch his words” as he’s entering a “dangerous territory”.Medvedev also fired back on Friday and alluded to Russia’s “Dead Hand” automated strike system—which purportedly could unleash a full-scale nuclear response in the event Russia was struck first.Medvedev also mocked Trump, saying, “If a few words from the former President of Russia can provoke such a jittery reaction from the mighty President of the United States, then Russia must be completely in the right.”

It is the first military step taken by Trump to deter Russia since returning to the White House and comes a week before his deadline for President Vladimir Putin to agree to a ceasefire or face sanctions.

<h2>Who is Audrey Crews?</h2>Audrey Crews is known as "P9" in Neuralink’s trial and she recently became the first woman to receive a brain chip from Neuralink. Crews has been paralysed for last 20 years. She explained on her 'X' post that the chip, known as a brain-computer interface (BCI) allows her to control her computer just by thinking and in the future, she hopes to use it to control more devices.&nbsp;Sharing her story on X, she said, “I had surgery last week and everything is going amazing. It was brain surgery, they drilled a hole in my skull and placed 128 threads into my motor cortex. The chip is about the size of a quarter.”&nbsp;“The BCI lets me control my computer using my mind. I'll be able to control more electronic devices in the near future. I also want to clarify this implant will not allow me to walk again or regain movement. Its strictly for telepathy only. We are still in Miami but I'll be home soon and we'll post more vids explaining the proses in more detail. I am the first women in the world to do this." she added.

<h2>How does the Neuralink implant work?</h2>Neuralink, started in 2016 is a developing implantable brain–computer interfaces called BCIs. The main device, known as “The Link” or “N1 Implant" is placed inside the human skull. From there, &nbsp;these soft threads go into specific parts of the brain and mainly the motor cortex and it helps to control movement.&nbsp;These threads have electrodes that pick up brain signals and when someone thinks about doing something like moving a cursor, their brain makes special electrical patterns. The implant catches these signals and sends them wirelessly to an outside device, just like a computer.&nbsp;Then the computer uses special software to understand the brain signals and then turn them into actions. In Audrey’s case, her thoughts become movements on the screen. She can move the cursor, type words or draw things, all just by thinking.

Audrey Crews, who has been paralysed for 20 years has become the first women to control the computer with her mind. She used only her thoughts to move a computer cursor and write her name, all with the help of Neuralink’s brain chip.

The batch of around 10 civil servants, from India’s key administrative services such as the IAS, IRS, IRSE, and ITS, was given a send-off at the Japanese embassy earlier today. From August, they will begin their two-year master’s programs at leading Japanese universities, including the University of Tokyo, Waseda University, Hitotsubashi University, and Kobe University.&nbsp;The Japanese ambassador to India, Ono Keiichi, speaking to WION, said, "They will become a bridge between Japan and India. This is good for the Indian govt, Japanese government".&nbsp;&nbsp;The JDS program, launched in 1999 by Japan government, aims to accept young government officials and others who are expected to play leading roles in policy planning and administrative processes in their home countries. While funded by the Japanese&nbsp;govt, it is executed by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).&nbsp;Through graduate/master's studies in Japan, they are expected to acquire specialized knowledge and contribute to the development of their own countries upon return. Emphasising close ties between India, &amp; Japan, Ambassador Keiichi&nbsp;said,"&nbsp;India needs Japan. Japan needs India. We, in the past many years, many, many years, we have helped each other...". He pointed out that, as Japan is an aging society, "we need more Indian people to come to Japan to support industries so we could help each other".&nbsp;In 2021, India &amp; Japan signed a Memorandum of Cooperation (MoC) on Specified Skilled Workers (SSW), a mobility pact to facilitate the movement of skilled Indian workers to Japan. The Indian workers, through this institutional framework, can go to Japan, but need to have skills, including Japanese language skills. The pact is to get Indian workers in 14 sectors, including aviation, agriculture, fisheries, etc. Approximately 51,000 Indian nationals live in Japan, making them the third-largest South Asian group after Nepalis and Burmese.

Jeffrey Epstein's key associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, has reportedly been moved from her Florida prison to another institution in Texas quietly, according to a CNN report. This comes amid speculation over whether US President Donald Trump could grant her a pardon or not.Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence for her role in helping Epstein. She used to help the convicted sex offender Epstein in recruiting, grooming and abusing young girls.She was held at a federal prison in Tallahassee. But now, as per reports, she has been moved to the Federal Prison Camp Bryon in southeast Texas, according to a source familiar and records from the Bureau of Prisons.“We can confirm, Ghislaine Maxwell is in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) at the Federal Prison Camp (FPC) Bryan in Bryan, Texas,” BOP spokesperson Donald Murphy said in a statement to CNN.Before moving her to Texas, Maxwell was temporarily placed at a federal prison in Oakdale, Louisiana. "Officials from Texas were expected to take custody of her shortly after the handoff," sources told the outlet.Reportedly, the prison is dubbed "Club Fed" and houses non-violent female offenders convicted of white-collar crimes. Moreover, "Club Fed" is the lowest level federal security prison in the US, and has no perimeter fencing, according to the Federal Prison Camp Bryan's website.The Trump administration has been under immense pressure for the US president's relationship with Epstein. Last week, US House Speaker Mike Johnson said Jeffrey Epstein's key associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, should be awarded life imprisonment in place of the 20-year jail sentence she is already serving for abetting sexual crimes against minors.When the president was asked about Maxwell and whether she would be pardoned, he said he hadn’t considered a pardon or commutation, although he didn’t rule it out. “It’s something I haven’t thought about. I’m allowed to do it, but I haven’t thought about it.” Pressed again, he declined to comment further, saying, “I don’t want to talk about that.”Epstein was charged with sexually trafficking minors, and it was during detention in 2019 that he died by suicide. While. Maxwell, who has been party to the crime, has been accused of recruiting minors for the criminal act.&nbsp;

Ghislaine Maxwell quietly moved to minimum security Texas prison as lawyers seek Trump pardon - Here's what we know

India on Friday rejected the allegations made by the UK parliamentary committee, terming its report that claimed New Delhi’s involvement in transnational repression as “baseless.” The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said that these claims stem from “unverified and dubious sources”, predominantly connected to proscribed entities and individuals with a “clear, documented history of anti-India hostility.”&nbsp;The Joint Committee on Human Rights, in its report released on July 30, said that it has received evidence alleging that Bahrain, China, Egypt, Eritrea, India, Iran, Pakistan, Russia, Rwanda, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have conducted acts of transnational repression on UK soil.&nbsp;Reacting to queries regarding references to India in the UK Parliamentary Committee report, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal stated, “We have seen the references to India in the report and categorically reject these baseless allegations. These claims stem from unverified and dubious sources, predominantly linked to proscribed entities and individuals with a clear, documented history of anti-India hostility. The deliberate reliance on discredited sources calls into question the credibility of the report itself.”&nbsp;In the report, the Joint Committee on Human Rights called for stronger action to stop the growth of transnational repression (TNR). The committee warned that foreign governments are being increasingly bold in attempts to silence and intimidate individuals and communities in the UK and urged the British government to make more efforts to protect and support victims.&nbsp;During his recent visit to the UK, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had thanked his UK counterpart, Keir Starmer, for condemning the April 22 Pahalgam terrorist attack and said that forces with extremist ideology cannot be allowed to misuse democratic freedom.While making a press statement alongside Starmer on July 24, PM Modi said, “We thank Prime Minister Starmer and his government for strongly condemning the Pahalgam terror attack. We are united in the belief that there is no place for double standards in the fight against terrorism. We also agree that the forces with extremist ideology cannot be allowed to misuse democratic freedom. Those who misuse democratic freedoms to undermine democracy itself must be held to account.”&nbsp;PM Modi’s statement came amid growing concerns over the presence of Khalistani extremists in the United Kingdom, who have in the past also targetted the Indian High Commission in London.&nbsp;Earlier this year, Khalistani goons created a ruckus outside the Chatham House in London, where External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar was attending an event. A video from the event, showing a protester running towards the EAM’s vehicle as he was leaving the venue, also went viral on social media, highlighting the security breach.&nbsp;This was not the first time that anti-India, radical elements had organised demonstrations and attacks, as well as arson, in London. In March 2023, New Delhi had lodged a strong protest with the UK government after Khalistani extremists vandalised the Indian High Commission in London. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) had demanded an explanation from the British authorities for the complete absence of the British security that allowed the Khalistani goons to enter the High Commission premises.&nbsp;

MEA cites dubious sources, rejects ‘baseless claims’ in UK parliamentary report

After Federal Bureau of Investigation director Kash Patel and the US Justice Department issued a memo on the Epstein case, Patel's girlfriend Alexis Wilkins has been involved in several conspiracy theories, one of which accused her of being Israel's Mossad agent, sent to manipulate the FBI director. Wilkins has now been pushing back the theories and rumours, describing it as "incredibly disheartening." The 26-year-old singer has been slammed on the internet, as some called her "honeypotting" Kash Patel on behalf of another nation, according to a New York Post report. Alexis, while speaking on the "Megyn Kelly Show", said that the critics twisted her background, adding that, "I think people see certain pieces and I get it." “They want to connect things, they want to justify, some of the pain that they’ve been through watching the last four years, and there are pieces of this that, you know, I can understand,” she said. She added, "I think that they’ve taken just these pieces of evidence that you laid out and tied them together in all of the wrong ways.” All this comes after the US Justice Department closed the Epstein case and concluded that there was no foul play in Epstein's death. Since many people believe Epstein was a Mossad agent, they assumed that there is Israeli pressure on the US cover-up of Epstein files and Wilkins is the "honeypot". "The fact that it's accusing me of manipulating the person I love is a horrible accusation," Alexis said on Megyn Kelly's show. Some of the theories were based on Wilkin's past, as she was connected with PragerU, a conservative media nonprofit. Its CEO, Marissa Streit, once served in the Israeli army. But, Kash Patel's girlfriend has no ties with Israel and is Armenian and Christian. When Megyn Kelly asked her directly if she was a spy, Wilkins firmly responded, “Definitely not, that is a firm no on that front.” Earlier last month, Wilkins took to X, and while expressing frustration, called the accusations "insanely ridiculous"."It’s disappointing to see people with no real contribution to political discourse spin ridiculous conspiracy theories out of thin air,” she wrote. “These accusations are obviously insanely ridiculous.”<h2>FBI director frustrated</h2>When Megyn Kelly asked Wilkins about the FBI director's reaction to the online criticism, she said that Patel is fine with people coming after him, but he got frustrated when it came to her. She added that Patel is not allowed to speak about his work with her and she knows nothing more than what the public gets to know. "He was very unhappy to say the least," Wilkins said. Addressing why there's very little information about her personal life, she said that he wanted that "childhood" side to be protected, not because she is a "spy" for any government.&nbsp;
