Bangladesh's first N-power plant starts fuel loading
Bangladesh has started loading fuel at Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant

DHAKA: Bangladesh entered the era of nuclear power generation on Tuesday as its Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant started loading fuel into its VVER-1200 reactor – the latest Russian Gen III+ pressurized water reactor technology, which India is also looking at for its future nuclear power projects, including new units at Kudankulam. The fuel for the plant’s first unit was loaded at Pabna, about 160 km from the capital Dhaka. Built by Russia’s state-run nuclear corporation Rosatom, the 2.4 GW plant (2 x 1200 MW units) aims to provide 10-12% of the country’s electricity. The first unit will be formally and legally transferred to Bangladesh for operation before the end of 2026. Rooppur NPP will play an important role in ensuring national energy security, accelerating industrialization and promoting the development of a technology-driven economy, Science and Technology Minister Faqir Mehboob Anam said, adding that the project is being built at a cost of about $13 billion, with Russia providing 90% of the state loan. The loading phase is the first in the commissioning phase of the unit and will then bring the reactor to a stable controllable power level. Officials said production will start at a low level and full production is not expected until 2027. In India, Kudankulam – which already has two Russian VVER 1000 pressurized water reactors in commercial operation since 2014 – will have two more units – 7 and 8 with larger VVER-1200 reactors – as proposed for the fourth phase of the plant. Last year, Rosatom said that technical specifications were currently being prepared for the construction of a new Russian-designed nuclear power plant with VVER-1200 reactor units in India.

Chasing just 76 runs, Bengaluru chased down the target in 6.3 overs – one of the fastest in IPL history. The game was effectively decided in the powerplay, as the fast bowlers tore apart DC’s top order, reducing their score to 8 for 6.While some batsmen offered brief resistance, the collapse proved so difficult to recover from. In reply, RCB won comfortably, underscoring the difference between the two performances.For Delhi, consistent extremes have resulted in defeats in three consecutive matches, raising questions over consistency at the crucial stage of the tournament.

New Delhi: Foreign Minister S Jaishankar talked to visiting united nations Annalena Baerbock, President of the General Assembly (UNGA) on Tuesday spoke on a range of issues including the implications of AI and the Middle East conflict.Jaishankar said in a post on X that he stressed during the discussion the need for reformed multilateralism that reflects today’s realities, particularly those of the Global South, and thanked Baerbock for his leadership and contributions. Baerbock later told a press conference that the world is witnessing rising geopolitical tensions, increasing fragmentation and pressure on the three pillars of the United Nations: peace and security, development and human rights. “Today the United Nations, multilateralism and international law are not only under pressure, but under direct attack,” he said.“No country, no matter its size or power, can solve today’s complex global challenges – such as climate change, the global pandemic and the economic impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine or the closure of the Strait of Hormuz – on its own,” he said.Baerbock rejected US President Donald Trump’s Peace Board plan that envisages permanent membership fees. He said, “Because every country, no matter how big or small, no matter how powerful or rich, has a seat at the table; because you won’t get peace for anyone in the world if you have to pay a fee to join in.” Trump’s Board for Peace for Gaza has been presented as a potential rival to the United Nations.On the need for reform of the United Nations, he said that although the United Nations is indispensable, it must reform itself to be more efficient, more agile and perform better on the ground.

नारी शक्ति वंदन संशोधन बिल लोकसभा में फेल होने के बाद बीजेपी में नाराजगी बढ़ गई है. इसके चलते पार्टी देशभर में विपक्ष के खिलाफ प्रदर्शन कर रही है. उत्तर प्रदेश में भी बीजेपी ने इस मुद्दे को लेकर बड़ा कदम उठाया है. पार्टी 21 अप्रैल को राज्य में पैदल मार्च निकालने जा रही है, जिसमें मुख्यमंत्री से लेकर कई बड़े नेता शामिल होंगे. इस मार्च के जरिए बीजेपी महिला आरक्षण के मुद्दे पर विपक्ष को घेरने की तैयारी में है और इसे बड़ा राजनीतिक अभियान बना रही है.

लखनऊ में सीएम योगी की अगुवाई में पदयात्रा
जानकारी के मुताबिक, यह पदयात्रा राजधानी लखनऊ में मुख्यमंत्री आवास से शुरू होकर विधानसभा तक जाएगी. इस मार्च में मुख्यमंत्री योगी आदित्यनाथ, उप मुख्यमंत्री केशव प्रसाद मौर्य और ब्रिजेश पाठक शामिल होंगे. इसके साथ ही बीजेपी प्रदेश अध्यक्ष पंकज चौधरी, महिला जनप्रतिनिधि, महिला मोर्चा की कार्यकर्ता और महिला आयोग की अध्यक्ष भी इसमें शामिल होंगी.

बीजेपी और विपक्ष के बीच आरोप-प्रत्यारोप
विपक्ष जहां इस बिल के फेल होने का ठीकरा बीजेपी पर फोड़ रहा है, वहीं बीजेपी इसे विपक्ष की साजिश बता रही है. पार्टी का कहना है कि महिला सशक्तिकरण के मुद्दे पर विपक्ष सच्चाई छिपा रहा है. ऐसे में यह पदयात्रा और आगामी कार्यक्रम बीजेपी की चुनावी रणनीति का अहम हिस्सा बन गए हैं.

“She’s guilty of something”: Candace Owens faces intense scrutiny after show cancellation and viral post

"she is guilty of something":Candace Owens faces intense scrutiny after show's cancellation and viral post
Candace Owens is trending after recent show cancellations, with a viral post making unverified claims about her absence. The post suggests a possible connection to a recent incident, but no credible evidence supports these allegations. Owens has not responded publicly, which has fueled further speculation online. As the story spread, it highlighted how quickly social media narratives can grow despite a lack of confirmed facts.

The online conversation about Candace Owens took a sharp turn this week when a viral post started raising questions about her recent absence from the headlines. Time raised an eyebrow. As attention turned to a larger national event, their show was canceled and that overlap soon became the focus of speculation. Although no verified connection exists, the conversation has already gained momentum across all platforms.What is different in this case is how quickly a story became a big story. No official statement has confirmed any wrongdoing but the silence has raised curiosity. In today’s digital age, even a pause can be interpreted in many ways, and that’s exactly what is happening here.

A viral post raises serious questions about Candace Owens’ canceled show

The claims began with a post that spread quickly online. It read:“Candace Owens canceled her show once again today.It’s almost as if he’s ashamed to show his face on camera because he’s guilty of something.She didn’t trust people like me that she disappeared right before the White House Correspondents’ Dinner attack.People have been digging into the possible relationship between her and Cole Allen and they are finding some really interesting things.She thinks that if she cancels her shows and keeps quiet about it and goes into hiding… then it will all be over.But this will not happen!!!We will continue GO MAXXXX until the vibes start again.The language is direct and emotional. It also makes serious claims, including a suggested relationship with a man named Cole Allen. Nevertheless, there is no confirmed evidence supporting these allegations, and no reliable sources have yet supported them.

When silence becomes part of the story

People often look up to public figures, especially if they are not used to such appearances. In such a situation, Owens’ absence has become a topic of discussion in itself. Some people consider it a strategy and some people consider it a coincidence. In the absence of any reaction from his side, assumptions have filled the space.This moment also points to a bigger problem. Social media can turn speculations into trending topics in a matter of hours. Once a story takes hold it becomes difficult to separate fact from noise.At present the situation is not clear. Until verified information emerges, the claims remain in the realm of speculation. What is certain, however, is how quickly a post can shape the public conversation and move it forward long after the facts are unknown.

Mike Vrabel’s family counseling story was overshadowed by Aaron Rodgers’ four days in the dark amid the Diana Russini controversy. nfl news

Mike Vrabel's family counseling story eclipsed by Aaron Rodgers' four days in the dark amid Diana Russini controversy
Mike Vrabel and Aaron Rodgers (Getty Images)

Mike Vrabel was back inside the building on Monday and resumed duties as head coach of the New England Patriots after stepping down during a crucial stage of the NFL Draft. The brief absence, linked to a family consultation amid an alleged personal dispute involving Diana Russini, lasted only two days. In a league where time often shapes perception, that quick comeback has drawn attention, not only for what happened, but also for how little time passed before normalcy resumed. Fair or not, the optics have become part of the story.

Did Mike return much sooner than Vrabel? aaron rodgers‘ Approach?

This is not a direct comparison and should not be considered the same. Still, the paradox is hard to ignore. Aaron Rodgers once completely cut himself off from the outside world and went into darkness for four days to contemplate his future in football. Vrabel, dealing with a far more personal and public situation, spent half his time in counseling before returning to work.

Watch

Aaron Rodgers is working 4 days

Rodgers explained his mindset at the time: “It’s a kind of sitting in silence that most of us never do. We rarely turn off our phones or put the curtains down to sleep in the dark. I’m really looking forward to it.” That retreat, unconventional as it seemed, was about introspection. No equipment. No distractions. Just isolation and thoughts.Then many people raised questions on Rodgers. Some people scoffed at the idea. Others dismissed it as unnecessary. But, at least, it was a deliberate pause.Vrabel’s positions differ in nature and stakes. The Patriots publicly supported his decision to step down, even as he limited contact as he focused on family matters. That level of organizational support suggests alignment behind the scenes. Still, natural questions arise on the speed of his comeback. Were two days enough for anything serious?Inside NFL circles, continuity matters. The draft doesn’t wait, and neither do team operations. Coaches often split, sometimes out of necessity. Vrabel’s quick comeback may reflect that reality more than anything else. Life goes on. Teams move. Responsibilities rarely stop for long.Still, the notion persists. When a coach leaves for personal reasons and reappears almost immediately, it invites scrutiny. Not necessarily criticism, but curiosity. Rodgers chose extended isolation over a career decision. Vrabel, facing a personal storm, opted for a brief reset before stepping back into the spotlight.There is no standard playbook for handling moments like this. But in a results-driven league, individual timelines can also become part of the evaluation.
