India, China hold diplomatic talks, agree to maintain peace at LAC

The Working Mechanism for Consultation and Coordination on Border Issues between India and China met for the 16th time since the standoff at the LAC began in May 2020 in New Delhi.

India and China on Wednesday agreed to maintain peace and tranquility at the Line of Actual Control (LAC) during separate diplomatic talks despite no signs of a breakthrough towards disengagement at friction points in the Ladakh region.

The Working Mechanism for Consultation and Coordination on India-China border issues (WMCC) met for the 16th time in New Delhi since the standoff at the LAC began in May 2020. The panel last met in Beijing on March 28 and Wednesday's meeting followed two meetings this month between External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi.

After the talks, the two sides agreed to "jointly maintain peace and tranquility in the border areas in accordance with relevant bilateral agreements, protocols and understandings between the two governments", a foreign ministry statement said.

Following discussions between the two foreign ministers at recent meetings in Astana and Vientiane, the two sides reviewed the current status on the LAC "with a view to early resolution of outstanding issues". The statement further mentioned India's position that overall relations with China cannot be normalised without addressing the disputed border situation and said, "Restoration of peace and tranquility and respect for the LAC are essential foundations for the restoration of normalcy in bilateral relations."

The statement said the discussions were "in-depth, constructive and forward-looking" but did not provide details. The two sides also agreed to maintain momentum through established diplomatic and military channels.

This was also the 30th meeting of the WMCC since its inception in 2012. The Indian delegation was led by Goorangalal Das, Additional Secretary (East Asia) in the Ministry of External Affairs, while the Chinese side was headed by Hong Liang, Secretary-General. The meeting was led by the Border and Oceanic Affairs Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China.

Wayanad landslide 276 dead and over 200 still missing

Wayanad Landslide: Central government issued advance warning but Kerala government did not heed, says Amit Shah

While drawing attention to the situation arising out of the devastating landslide in Wayanad district, Shah said the Kerala government was not even warned due to the arrival of the 9th Battalion of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF).

As Wayanad was devastated by landslides, resulting in the loss of several lives, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday accused the Kerala government in Parliament of ignoring his July 23 warning of a possible natural disaster in the region and ignoring excess rains.

He, however, said the Union government would work resolutely with the Kerala government in dealing with the aftermath of the Wayanad landslide. Talking about the situation following the devastating landslides in Wayanad Shah, he said the Kerala government was not alerted by the arrival of nine battalions of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) either, adding that several lives could have been saved had they come and acted in a timely manner.

Hamas Chief Ismail Haniyeh Killed In Iran's Capital, Hamas confirms

The Palestinian group said in a statement today that Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and one of his bodyguards were killed in an attack on their residence in Iran.

Hamas said Ismail Haniyeh was killed Tuesday morning in a "traitorous Zionist attack on his residence in Tehran." The group said an investigation was underway to determine the details of the attack.

Haniyeh had been in the Iranian capital to attend the swearing-in ceremony of Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian.

"Our brother and mentor, Mujahid Ismail Haniyeh, leader of the movement, was killed in a Zionist attack on our headquarters in Tehran after attending the inauguration of the new (Iranian) president," the statement said.

"Our brother and mentor, the leader of our movement, Mujahid Ismail Haniya, was killed in a Zionist attack on our headquarters in Tehran after attending the inauguration of the new (Iranian) president," the statement said.

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard also confirmed Haniya's death, saying his residence in Tehran was "attacked" and that he was killed along with his bodyguard.

Hamas called Haniya's killing a "serious escalation" and blamed Israel.

"This assassination of the Haniya brothers by Israeli occupation forces is a serious escalation aimed at breaking Hamas' will," said Sami Abu Zuhri, a senior Hamas official.

The Israeli military did not immediately respond to Haniya's killing.

Israel had vowed to kill Ismail Haniyeh and destroy the Hamas organization after an attack on October 7 killed 1,195 people, mostly civilians.

According to the Ministry of Health, Israeli retaliatory operations in the Gaza Strip have killed at least 39,400 people in Hamas-controlled areas.

Haniyeh was elected head of Hamas' political office in 2017, replacing Khalid Meshaal. Considered a pragmatist, Haniyeh lived in exile, dividing his time between Turkey and Qatar.

During the war, he visited Iran and Turkey on diplomatic missions and met the presidents of Turkey and Iran.

Haniyeh is said to maintain good relations with leaders of various Palestinian factions, including Hamas' rivals.

He joined Hamas in 1987 when the militant group was founded during the outbreak of the first Palestinian intifada (uprising) against Israeli occupation, which lasted until 1993.

Israel claims Hezbollah military commander, killed in Beirut strike

Israel claims Hezbollah military commander, killed in Beirut strike

An Israeli airstrike hit Hezbollah's stronghold south of Beirut

Israel claims Hezbollah military commander, accused of 1983 US marine bombing, killed in Beirut strike

Israel in a targeted airstrike on Beirut, claims to have killed a Hezbollah military leader, accused by the USA for the 1983 bombing of US marines

The Hezbollah commander who the Israeli military says it killed in an airstrike Tuesday had been blamed by Israel for a deadly weekend rocket attack and was accused by the US of orchestrating the 1983 bombing in Beirut that killed 241 American servicemen.

A statement from Israeli military spokesperson Daniel Hagari said the target of the strike, Fouad Shukur, was behind the Saturday rocket attack on the town of Majdal Shams that killed 12 young people in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights of Syria. Hezbollah, which denied it was behind the Majdal Shams attack, didn't confirm that Shukur was the target of Tuesday's airstrike or that he was killed. If Israel's claim proves true, Shukur would be the most senior Hezbollah commander to be killed since 2016, when Mustafa Badreddine, the group's military commander in Syria, died in an explosion in the Syrian capital of Damascus.

The Israeli military said that Shukur had directed Hezbollah's attacks on Israel since October 8, after the Israel-Hamas war erupted, and that he was also involved in “the killing of numerous Israelis and foreign nationals over the years.”

It said Shukur was responsible for the majority of Hezbollah's most advanced weaponry, including guided missiles, cruise missiles, anti-ship missiles, long-range rockets and UAVs.

The 62-year-old, secretive Shukur was in charge of Hezbollah's forces in southern Lebanon along the border with Israel as well as being a top official in the group's missile program.

He was a close aide to Hezbollah's top military commander, Imad Mughniyeh, who was assassinated in a car bomb attack in Damascus in 2008. Shukr has since become a close military adviser to Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.

Melania thought the worst had happened’: Donald Trump on Pennsylvania shooting

Melania thought the worst had happened’: Donald Trump on Pennsylvania shooting; vows to hold more outdoor rallies

Donald Trump, the Republican Presidential candidate, said Melania was “watching live” coverage when multiple shots were fired at his election rally in Pennsylvania earlier this month.

Donald Trump, the Republican Presidential candidate and former US President, on Monday revealed that his wife, Melania, was “watching live” coverage when multiple shots were fired at his election rally in Pennsylvania earlier this month.

Melania was watching the rally on television and thought, “the worst had happened,” Donald Trump said in an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham aired on Monday night.

“She was watching live,” he added. Donald Trump said that his wife "can’t really even talk about it, which is OK,” and “that means she likes me.” Donald Trump highlighted his wife’s immediate reaction, “When I went down, she thought the worst had happened,” suggesting his hand covered in blood as the reason for her reaction.

"Yes, I will hold rallies (outdoors)," Donald Trump said. Despite surviving an assassination attempt, the former US president insists he will continue to hold outdoor campaign rallies in the future.

The Secret Service was criticized for failing to secure the roof of the factory where gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks targeted the US presidential candidate. The gunman positioned himself on the roof of a building more than 400 feet away and fired shots, one of which grazed Donald Trump's right ear.

Days after the assassination attempt on Donald Trump, Director of Secret Service Kimberly Cheatle submitted her resignation.

Anurag Thakur confronts Rahul Gandhi over caste numbers in Parliament

"Exposing the dirty politics...": PM Modi speaks out after Anurag Thakur confronts Rahul Gandhi over caste numbers in Parliament

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has termed Anurag Thakur's speech as "a perfect combination of facts and humour exposing the dirty politics of the Indian Union".

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday praised Bharatiya Janata Party leader Anurag Thakur's speech in Parliament, where the former Union Minister delivered a political rebuttal to Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi's speech. PM Modi termed Thakur's speech as "a must listen".

Post excerpts of Anurag Thakur's speech on a microblogging site A perfect combination of facts and humour exposing the dirty politics of the INDI Union.

This speech by my young and dynamic colleague Shri @ianuragthakur is a must listen. A perfect combination of facts and humour exposing the dirty politics of the INDI alliance. https://t.co/4utsqNeJqp — Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) July 30, 2024

Anurag Thakur launched a scathing attack on Rahul Gandhi over his pursuit of "chakravyuh" against the Bharatiya Janata Party-led government the previous day, alleging that the Congress leader had misinterpreted his position as LoP as a "propaganda leader".

Thakur also asserted that the Congress' definition of OBC is "legal commission only" and not "other backward classes". He also referred to former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi's opposition to reservation for OBCs.

Without naming names, Thakur said some people are "accidental Hindus" and their knowledge of the Mahabharata is also accidental.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has accused Bharatiya Janata Party MP Anurag Thakur of "insulting and abusing" him. The controversy erupted after Thakur retorted that "people whose caste is unknown are talking about the census".
