Felt like dream: Children who performed for PM Modi in Maldives share unforgettable moment
Male: Prime Minister Narendra Modi received a heartwarming welcome from children of the Indian diaspora in the Maldives, who performed a traditional classical dance upon his arrival at the Kurumba Village Resort on Friday. The performance was part of a vibrant cultural reception during PM Modi's two-day state visit to the island nation. The children, dressed in traditional attire, had prepared for weeks to greet the Prime Minister through dance, showcasing India's cultural heritage and the emotional bond shared by the diaspora with their homeland. One of the young performers described the experience as surreal: 'It felt like a dream. After our performance, he asked the security to remove the barricade and came close to us, applauding each one of us. It was such a special moment, once in a lifetime,' she said, beaming with pride. Another student shared, 'We had practised so hard for this day. I never thought I'd get to see the Prime Minister this close, let alone perform for him. He smiled and waved at us, I'll never forget it.' Parents of the children, who were also present, were deeply moved by the interaction. A member of the Indian diaspora said, 'The feeling can't be expressed. I feel so blessed and privileged that I got the opportunity to meet him. He even played with my child. His aura is so powerful and kind; he truly loves children.' Another woman said, 'We had sleepless nights preparing for this day. His energy and presence are so inspiring. It felt like a dream come true for all of us.' PM Modi arrived at Velana International Airport earlier in the day and was received by Maldivian President Dr Mohamed Muizzu with ceremonial honours, traditional music, and chants of 'Vande Mataram'. The Prime Minister is in the Maldives as the Guest of Honour at the country's 60th Independence Day celebrations, marking his third visit to the island nation and the first by any head of state or government during President Muizzu's tenure. His visit reflects India's deepening cultural and strategic ties with the Maldives under the 'Neighbourhood First' policy.

India achieves 20% ethanol blending target 5 years ahead of schedule: ISMA
India has achieved its target of 20 per cent ethanol blending with petrol five years ahead of schedule, the Indian Sugar & Bio-energy Manufacturers Association (ISMA) said on Friday. The achievement represents dramatic growth from the modest 1.5 per cent blending rate when the program began in 2014 under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's administration, ISMA said in a statement. The ethanol blending program has delivered substantial economic and environmental benefits, according to ISMA data. Ethanol production surged from 38 crore litres in 2014 to 661 crore litres blended as of June 2025, while generating 698 lakh tonnes in carbon dioxide emission reductions. The program has provided significant financial benefits to India's agricultural sector, with farmers receiving Rs 1.18 lakh crore and distilleries earning Rs 1.96 lakh crore over the period. The initiative has also helped India save Rs 1.36 lakh crore in foreign exchange costs. "This achievement is a monumental leap for India's energy independence and rural prosperity," said Deepak Ballani, Director General of ISMA. "The government's unwavering policy direction and visionary leadership have not only made this national success possible five years ahead of schedule but have also set a powerful precedent for our collective future in green energy." The sugar industry has played a central role in India's ethanol economy, supplying biofuel derived from sugarcane juice, B-heavy molasses and other agricultural by-products, ISMA said. The early achievement of the 20 per cent blending target, originally set for 2030, demonstrates India's commitment to reducing dependence on fossil fuel imports while supporting rural economic development, the industry association added.>

Nuclear negotiations with Iran: What can we expect?
AI- Representation Image There is much at stake when representatives from Germany, France and the United Kingdom meet their counterparts from Iran in Istanbul on Friday to negotiate the future of Iran's nuclear program. If the talks fail, Iran risks a new wave of sanctions. Questions remain about the technical status of Iran's nuclear program after the attacks by Israel and the US on Iranian nuclear facilities in June. Or whether Iran can continue its program at all. The limited information available does not appear to support claims by US President Donald Trump that Iran's nuclear facilities and nuclear program have been "totally obliterated," said Hamidreza Azizi, an Iran expert at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs. In his view, Iran would likely be able to resume its enrichment program to a certain extent in the short to medium term. Azizi estimates that the country still has much of the highly enriched uranium it stockpiled over the past few years. Uncertainty about the status of enrichment technology "Iran has not been deprived of its ability to enrich uranium," Azizi told DW. "So far, there has been no indication that Iran has actively taken steps to restart its program, but such a move would be more a matter of political decision-making, as well as military and security considerations, rather than technical capability." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Libas Purple Days Sale Libas Undo Michael Brzoska, a political scientist at the Institute for Peace Research and Security Policy at the University of Hamburg, took a slightly different stance. He said it's likely to have become technically much more difficult for Iran to continue enriching the uranium that is still available to a level suitable to make nuclear weapons. The centrifuges required for enrichment have probably been damaged to such an extent that they can no longer be used, Brzoska said. "Although it cannot be ruled out that there could be hidden centrifuges in other locations, there is currently no information on this," he added. What messages are coming out of Tehran? In order to exert pressure on Iran, Germany, France and the UK agreed with the US in mid-July to set Iran a deadline for reaching a nuclear agreement. This expires at the end of August. If no agreement is reached by then, the European partners plan to automatically reinstate previous UN sanctions against Tehran. It's entirely possible that the Iranian leadership is reconsidering its current strategy, Brzoska believes. Iran has repeatedly denied that it wants to use its nuclear program for military purposes. "But its behavior, especially the high-level enrichment of uranium, has brought it ever closer to this possibility," he pointed out. "And it has thus sparked fear among other states." Iran is currently sending out "mixed signals," Azizi told DW, explaining that Iranian officials, including the president and foreign minister, continue to insist that Iran remains open to diplomatic engagement. At the same time, he sees no indication that Iran is willing to soften its positions on other contentious issues, such as domestic uranium enrichment or its support for non-state actors in the region. "The leadership seems to be trying to buy time and avoid a renewed escalation until they determine how to address the various problems at hand," Azizi said. US goes it alone with own sanctions However, Iran's time is limited due to the end-of-August deadline. After this date, the UN sanctions, which were lifted in 2016 as part of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), better known as the nuclear agreement, could once again be imposed. The agreement contains a mechanism known as the "snapback," which entitles each of the signatories — the US, the UK, France, China, Russia, Germany and the EU — to launch a procedure that would automatically lead to the reintroduction of all UN sanctions against Iran after 30 days. The US withdrew from the agreement in 2018, under Trump's first administration, so it cannot initiate this mechanism. However, talks in mid-July show that the three European states have been coordinating closely with Washington. The US, meanwhile, has imposed its own sanctions against Iran. These target specific sectors of the economy, such as oil exports and banking transactions, and also include sanctions against third countries and companies that do business with Iran. Is there shared interest in reaching an agreement? In this respect, the outcome of the upcoming talks is highly important for Iran, said Brzoska. "Sanctions imposed by the US will ultimately be more important from an Iranian perspective. However, the snapback mechanism is likely to prompt a whole series of states to impose economic restrictions on Iran," he said. These restrictions would affect oil exports, for example, as well as the transfer of so-called dual-use technologies, that is, technology that can also be used for military purposes. "Iran is therefore likely to work towards ensuring that the Europeans do not reapply this mechanism," said Brzoska. Beyond the possibility of not activating the snapback agreement, however, the three European states have no other incentives, or carrots, to offer Iran, said Azizi. This could make reaching an agreement more difficult, he believes. "The best we can realistically expect from the upcoming talks is that both sides might agree to extend the deadline for triggering the snapback mechanism, allowing more time for diplomacy and a potential diplomatic resolution," he said.
