UK govt climbs down on welfare cuts in latest U-turn
The climbdown is the third U-turn that Starmer has been forced into in less than a month, leading to questions about his political acumen and direction of the ruling Labour party. Only days after Starmer insisted he would plough ahead with the reforms, the government confirmed concessions had been made to 126 rebel MPs who had threatened to scupper the proposed changes. Tue turnaround comes just before Starmer marks the first anniversary of what has been a rocky return to power for Labour after 14 years in opposition to the Conservatives. A spokesperson for Number 10 said the government had "listened to MPs who support the principle of reform but are worried about the pace of change for those already supported by the system". It said a revised package of measures would preserve the welfare system for those "who need it, by putting it on a sustainable footing". The backtrack means the Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment (Pip) Bill, which contains the welfare reforms, will likely make it through a parliamentary vote due on Tuesday. "It's always best to concede and then get it through in some way, shape or form. This is sort of damage limitation," political scientist Steven Fielding told AFP. The concessions, due to be set out in parliament later on Friday, include a "staggered approach" to the reforms, care minister Stephen Kinnock said. This means that the narrower eligibility criteria proposed will only apply to new claimants, not those already receiving the benefit payments. Starmer's government had hoped to make savings of £5.0 billion ($6.9 billion) as a result of the changes that have now been partly abandoned, meaning finance minister Rachel Reeves will need to find them elsewhere. 'Unforced errors' It has been a bumpy 12 months in office for Starmer during which Reeves has struggled to generate growth from a sluggish UK economy. On June 9, the government declared it had reversed a policy to scrap a winter heating benefit for millions of pensioners, following widespread criticism, including from its own MPs. Less than a week later Starmer announced a national enquiry focused on a UK child sex exploitation scandal that had attracted the attention of US billionaire Elon Musk. Starmer had previously resisted calls for an enquiry into the so-called "grooming gangs" -- that saw girls as young as 10 raped by groups of men mostly of South Asian origin -- in favour of a series of local probes. The prime minister has a massive majority of 165 MPs, meaning he should be able to force whatever legislation he wants through parliament. But many of his own MPs complain of a disconnect between Starmer's leadership, which is focused on combatting the rise of the far-right Reform UK party, and Labour's traditional centre-left principles. "Labour is meant to stand for fairness, and those two flagship mistakes are all about being unfair," Fielding said of winter fuel and the disability cuts. The furores are also overshadowing Labour's tightening of employment rights, and investment in housing and green industries, he added. A YouGov poll of more than 10,000 Britons released this week found that while Labour is losing voters to Reform, it is also forfeiting supporters to the Liberal Democrats and the Greens on the left.

Bangladesh pushes solar to tackle energy woes
The South Asian nation of 170 million people has set itself a target of generating 20 percent of its power from renewable energy by 2030 -- a four-fold increase -- and rising to 30 percent by 2040, the government said in a statement. "Bangladesh is lagging far behind its neighbouring countries", the statement issued by the office of interim leader Muhammad Yunus read. "Only 5.6 percent of our total requirement is currently met from renewable sources," it added, noting that in neighbouring India, it is 24 percent and in Sri Lanka, nearly 40 percent. The government's rooftop solar programme will see all government offices, schools, colleges and hospitals installed with panels immediately, the statement issued late Thursday said. The micro-finance pioneer said the panels would be installed and operated by private sector companies, unlike the largely failed push by since-ousted former prime minister Sheikh Hasina to install panels by using government power agencies. "The private sector will handle overall maintenance and keep the systems operational for their own business interests", the statement said. "The government will only provide them with rooftop access". The government has also initiated tender processes for 55 solar power plants with a total 5,238 megawatts capacity. Bangladesh relies heavily on importing cross-border power from neighbouring India, as well from Nepal, especially when demand soars during the blistering heat when consumers rely on energy-hungry air conditioners to keep cool. Dhaka also began construction of the Russia-backed nuclear plant at Rooppur in 2017. The much-delayed 2,400-megawatt project will be Bangladesh's largest power station by generating capacity once fully operational.

GJEPC also hosted two curated experiences alongside the Pavilion: the India Design Gallery, which celebrates modern Indian design, and the India Experience Lounge, offering a cultural and business engagement space. The presence of senior diplomats and industry leaders reinforced India's ambitions to expand its global market share and provides a timely boost to Indian exporters participating in the show. JCK Las Vegas is one of North America's leading jewellery trade events, according to its website.
