Who is Ivan Vladimirovich Putin? Leaked photo reveals alleged son of Vladimir Putin
The first-ever photos of Russian President Vladimir Putin's alleged 10-year-old son, Ivan Vladimirovich Putin, have reportedly been leaked by VChK-OGPU, an anti-Kremlin Telegram channel with links to Russian law enforcement and intelligence circles.Believed to be the son of Russian President Putin and Olympic gymnast Alina Kabaeva, 41, Ivan has lived a life shrouded in secrecy, as reported by The Sun. advertisementThe newly released high-resolution images, one showing Ivan in a traditional Russian outfit and another with his mother, are the first public glimpse of the boy, who has allegedly been hidden from view since birth.
According to the Telegram channel, Ivan lives under constant security, with limited contact with other children, and his time is strictly managed by tutors, governesses, and guards. VChK-OGPU described him as 'probably the loneliest boy in Russia,' and noted his strong resemblance to a young Soviet-era Putin.Ivan was reportedly born in 2015 at a clinic in Lugano, Switzerland and he is reportedly fond of Disney cartoons and ice hockey, though Putin is said to disapprove of the cartoons. He also has a younger brother, Vladimir Jr, born in 2019. Both children are believed to live in a heavily guarded residence near Moscow with round-the-clock staff and private educators.advertisementAlina Kabaeva, long rumored to be in a relationship with Putin, has never confirmed the claims and maintains a private life. At the onset of Russia's war in Ukraine, reports claimed that Putin had relocated his family, including the children he shares with Kabaeva, to a secure residence in neutral Switzerland.Despite years of speculation, the leaked images mark the first time any visual evidence of Putin's rumored youngest son has reached the public.

Bangladesh: Political parties reject Muhammad Yunus's extended time frame, demand election by December
DHAKA: At least 20 political parties, including former PM Khaleda Zia's BNP, Monday rejected Bangladesh chief adviser Muhammad Yunus 's extended time frame for conducting national election, demanding it be held by Dec. Sources, however, said three political parties, including the radical Jamaat-e-Islami and NCP launched by Nahid Islam who led the anti-Sheikh Hasina movement last year, are reportedly supporting Yunus's time frame of holding the poll between Dec 2025 and June 2026. "There is not a single valid reason to push the national election after Dec and BNP expects a 'neutral role' from Muhammad Yunus in taking a final decision," BNP member Salahuddin Ahmed said after the National Consensus Commission dialogue with Yunus. This was the second round of talks between political parties and the Yunus-headed interim govt on the election - pending since last year following the fall of the Hasina-led govt. In Monday's meeting, all but three political parties have demanded elections by Dec, Gono Odhikar Parishad chief Nurul Haque Nur said. Yunus expressed optimism about finalising a broadly accepted 'July Charter' - an agreement built through collective understanding among parties after the ouster of the Hasina govt. Salahuddin hoped Yunus will consider Dec for conducting the election. He also argued the commission has already taken significant time and election before year-end remains feasible. "Full consensus may not be support reforms that benefit the nation and ensure inclusion of all," he added.

Dutch Far-Right Leader Threatens To Quit Ruling Coalition Over Migration Plan
Amsterdam: Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders threatened on Monday to topple the Netherlands' already fragile right-wing government, which he said did not back his ideas for stricter asylum policies. Anti-Muslim populist Wilders, who won the most recent election in the Netherlands, last week demanded immediate support for his proposals to completely halt asylum migration, send Syrian refugees back to their home country and to close asylum shelters. Coalition partners have not embraced his ideas, and have pointed out that it is up to the migration minister from Wilders' own party to work on specific proposals. After meeting government party leaders on Monday evening, Wilders said this was not enough to secure his continued support for the coalition. "We have a serious problem," he told reporters. "We will take it up again tomorrow morning, but it does not look good." The coalition led by Wilders' PVV party has struggled to reach any consensus since its installation in July last year, and needs to tackle tough decisions in the coming months, including a possible historic increase in military spending to meet new NATO targets. Recent polls have shown Wilders has lost support since joining government, putting his party roughly at par with the Labour/Green combination that is currently the second-largest in parliament.
