Trump says US will send Ukraine Patriot air defense systems
UNITED STATES: President Donald Trump on Sunday said Washington would send Patriot air defense systems to Kyiv and hinted at new sanctions on Russia, once again voicing displeasure with Russian leader Vladimir Putin over Moscow's war in Ukraine. The US president's announcement of the much-needed weapons for Ukraine came after he earlier said he would make a "major statement... on Russia" on Monday. The announcement could come amid a diplomatic flurry set for Monday, with the US special envoy starting his latest trip to Ukraine and Trump set to meet with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in Washington. Moscow's offensive on Ukraine has lasted for more than three years, with attacks intensifying this summer and US-led negotiations so far yielding no results to end the fighting. "We will send them Patriots, which they desperately need," Trump said Sunday, without specifying how many weapons he would send to Ukraine. "I haven't agreed on the number yet, but they're going to have some because they do need protection," he told reporters at Joint Base Andrews, as he returned from watching the FIFA Club World Cup final in New Jersey. The White House has U-turned from an announcement earlier this month that it would pause some arms deliveries to Kyiv, instead announcing a new deal which would involve NATO paying the United States for some of the weapons it sends to Ukraine. "We basically are going to send them various pieces of very sophisticated military and they're going to pay us 100 percent for them," Trump said. "It'll be business for us," he added.

Nehru-Gandhi family bowing before America: Nishikant Dubey questions missing CIA device near Nanda Devi
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Nishikant Dubey on Monday slammed the Congress party and questioned the role of a missing American nuclear device near the Nanda Devi mountain in the Himalayas, linking it to recent natural disasters in India. In a post on X, Dubey attached a copy of a 1978 letter from members of the US Congress addressed to the US President. The letter expressed concern about the CIA's secret operation and the potential radioactive leak from the lost plutonium-powered device in the Himalayas. अमेरिका के आगे नतमस्तक नेहरु गॉंधी परिवार राहुल गांधी जी कांग्रेस पार्टी और भारत के आस्था के साथ किसानों की तबाही 1. क्या केदारनाथ का हादसा अमेरिका के न्यूक्लियर वस्तु के कारण हुआ जो नंदा देवी पर्वत शिखर के उपर से 1960 में ग़ायब हो गया? 2. क्या तीस्ता नदी के बाढ़ का भी वही कारण... - Dr Nishikant Dubey (@nishikant_dubey) July 14, 2025 by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Play War Thunder now for free War Thunder Play Now Undo The lawmakers had urged the US government to investigate the matter and take responsibility if the claims were true. He referred to a past CIA operation in the 1960s, which allegedly involved placing nuclear-powered surveillance equipment on the Nanda Devi peak to monitor Chinese activities. One such device reportedly went missing after being buried by an avalanche, raising concerns that it may have leaked radioactive material. Live Events Dubey asked whether the Kedarnath disaster , the Teesta River flooding , melting glaciers in Gangotri and Yamunotri, and even the decreasing water level of the Ganga River could be linked to this incident. He also alleged that the Nehru-Gandhi family, including Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, had surrendered to foreign interests, harming India's environment and its farmers. "The Nehru-Gandhi family bowing before America Rahul Gandhi ji, the Congress Party, and the destruction of farmers with India's faith. Did the Kedarnath disaster happen due to America's nuclear material that disappeared from above the Nanda Devi mountain peak in the 1960s? Is the same reason behind the flooding of the Teesta River? Are the melting glaciers of Gangotri-Yamunotri and the continuous decrease in the Ganga's water, responsible for the farmers' destruction, due to Nehru ji's surrender by the Congress Party?" the post read. In the 1960s, Indian and American intelligence agencies reportedly carried out a joint mission to place a nuclear-powered monitoring station near the summit. After one device was lost during the operation, a search mission failed to recover it, sparking fears of long-term environmental damage.

Panel orders action against IIT-Bombay under SC/ST Act for denying tribals water
MUMBAI: The National Commission for Scheduled Tribes has directed the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IIT-B) not to evict the tribals of Bhangshila Pada without following the legal process. In its order dated May 26, 2025, it further directed that action be taken under various sections of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act against those blocking the supply of water and electricity and the access road of the tribals. The fight for ownership of the land between the institution and the tribals dates back to 2007. In Jan this year, IIT-B, referring to a Bombay High Court order of Jan 2, 2025, stated the tribals were in unauthorised and illegal occupation of land (Survey No. 22 and CTS No. 67) and asserted IIT-B was the landowner. The notice warned the tribals of forcible eviction as per law for failure to vacate.

Two years ago, the village Sarpanch, Meena Raote, filed a complaint with the Commission that in 2007, following a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between IIT-B and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), the tribals were declared as encroachers and were being forcibly evicted. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Resmed AirSense 11 with flat 20% off ResMed Buy Now Undo Raote said the property card bears her grandfather's name, but there are no basic facilities. She further said that based on a 2013 biometric survey, the tribal families are being declared encroachers. The Commission in 2023 directed the Mumbai suburban collector to submit a report. In its report, the collector pointed out that 10,000 square metres of IIT-B land were acquired for the widening of the Jogeshwari-Vikhroli Link Road. A 2010 survey by NGO SPARC recorded 137 slum dwellers, of which 97 accepted rehabilitation while others, including certain tribal families, refused. The Commission held a hearing in May this year and ordered a stay on the eviction of the tribals. In another development, the Kurla Tehsildar directed the BMC not to block the access road to Bhangshila Pada."The human habitation at Bhangshila Tribal Pada is an old one, and for their basic needs, access to an ambulance, gas cylinder for domestic use, and transport of other daily essentials is necessary. Hence, it is not proper to block their access. Therefore, they be granted permission to go to and fro by your security," reads the letter. The panel has asked IIT-B to submit docucments showing its land ownership.
