ईर्षुःपरवित्तेषु रुपे वीर्ये कुलान्वये,

सुख सौभाग्य सत्कारे तस्य व्याधिरनन्तकः

Meaning:- "The person who is jealous and hates the wealth, beauty, valor, family, happiness, good fortune and honour of others is incurably ill. And there is no cure for his disease."

INDIA: (GOI, SWARAJYA, VISHWAMITRA, HINDU POST, INDIA TODAY).

Prime Minister Narendra Modi calls for Climate Justice at the session on Environment and COP 30 during BRICS Summit at Rio de Janeiro; Says it is no alternative but a moral duty for India.

Union Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan stressed on considering scientific technologies and tools to decide whether the fertilizers used by the farmers’ are genuine or spurious. Addressing the 96th Annual General Meeting of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) at the Pusa Campus in New Delhi, Mr. Chouhan was engaged in in-depth discussions on various topics related to innovation, sustainable development, and farmer welfare in the agricultural sector.

From RG Kar to Kolkata Law College, student politics under Trinamool’s shadow has turned campuses into dens of fear, crime, and unchecked power.

West Bengal’s educational campuses, once symbols of intellectual ferment and progressive politics, are now fast becoming crime scenes, a theatre where criminal impunity, enabled by political patronage, flourishes unchecked. From the horrific rape and murder of a young doctor at RG Kar Medical College to the recent gang rape at Kolkata Law College, a terrifying pattern is becoming undeniable. The nexus of crime and politics, particularly through student wings of the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC), is poisoning the very idea of higher education in the state.

The distance between Mizoram's Aizawl and West Bengal's Kolkata will be shortened by 700 km by 2027, as India with the help of Myanmar will be able to operationalise the Kaladan Multi Modal Transit Transport Project (KMMTTP) by then, Shipping Minister Sarbananda Sonowal said on Monday

Legislation newly signed by U.S. President Donald Trump overhauls U.S. policy on alternative energy and vastly expands resources for immigration enforcement.

Many tax credits were slashed for wind, solar, and other renewable energy projects as well as for electric cars. They were maintained for nuclear, hydropower, and geothermal projects that begin construction by 2033. Reduced subsidies could lead more U.S. solar companies to buy cheaper components from China, an industry association director said, though manufacturers of any kind will be eligible for new tax credits for building facilities in the United States. 

The legislation doubles down on a restrictive approach to immigration that has been a hallmark of Trump’s foreign policy, from bilateral relations to tariffs. It allocates more than $100 billion by September 2029 to border enforcement and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), tripling federal funding for immigrant detention centers. 

Tariffs on goods from countries that do not reach new bilateral trade deals in the coming weeks will jump on August 1 to levels originally announced on April 2, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said yesterday. Trump said he would begin notifying countries today of their new tariff rates via letters.

BRICS summit: Trump threatened an additional 10 percent tariff on countries aligned with BRICS policies as leaders from the group met in Rio de Janeiro. Hours earlier, a joint statement from the summit had condemned recent bombings of Iran and called for a more open global trade regime. It also announced plans to issue loan guarantees via its development bank that would aim to speed investment in member countries. 

The United Kingdom (UK) restored full diplomatic ties with Syria during a visit to Damascus by UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy over the weekend.

Suriname’s parliament elected Jennifer Geerlings-Simons as Suriname’s first female president yesterday. Her party had narrowly won the most seats in a May parliamentary election and then made a coalition with smaller parties to elect her.

A multilateral climate fund backed by the United Nations approved its largest-ever financing package in a single board meeting despite the U.S. withdrawal of a $4 billion pledge. The fund endorsed more than $1.2 billion for new projects across small island developing states and African countries, among others. 

China will bar companies based in the European Union (EU) from bidding on government contracts for some medical devices, Beijing announced yesterday. The EU issued a similar ban for Chinese firms last month.

The alliance of oil-producing countries announced plans to increase their global production in August by 548,000 barrels a day, a greater spike in output than in the past three months combined.
