US-Russian talks to take place in Moscow, Russian envoy says
Talks between the United States and Russia on resolving issues in their bilateral relations will move to Moscow from Istanbul, Russia's new ambassador to Washington told the state TASS news agency.
"The recovery of Russian-American relations is still a long way off,"
Ambassador Alexander Darchiev
told TASS, adding that the rapprochement with Moscow was being slowed by the so-called U.S. "deep state" and anti-Russian "hawks" in Congress.
"I can confirm that the next negotiations of the delegations will take place in the very near future in Moscow," Darchiev was quoted as saying.

Former Bangladesh PM urges party members to unite people against Yunus' ‘illegal' government
Dhaka, June 12 (UNI) Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has urged party leaders and activists to stand by the people, unite them, and launch a robust movement to oust the 'illegal' interim government led by 'conspirator and mob king', Chief Advisor Mohammed Yunus. In her latest audio message, the 77-year-old Awami League president called Yunus, his aides, and student coordinators criminals, accusing them of plundering public funds, killing Awami League members, and looting their homes and businesses. She alleged that the leaders of the so-called Anti-Discrimination Movement are now ironically fostering discrimination across the country, promoting the rampant rise of Islamic extremism and eroding its political fabric, reports the party's media agency Daily Republic. Sheikh Hasina noted that the anti-quota movement remained peaceful until July 15, but thereafter, protesters began attacking police, torching government buildings, and blocking roads. Accusing the SAD members of targeting police and military personnel, she highlighted her administration's work in domestic security, stating that it necessary actions to protect lives and property. 'We did nothing wrong.' She also slammed her rival party - the Bangladesh Nationalist Party led by ex-PM Khaleda Zia - for engaging in looting and terrorism and condemning the Jamaat-e-Islami for murders and cutting tendons. Sheikh Hasina firmly stated that she never agreed to 'sell out the country to foreigners.' Stating that she never once agreed to sell out the country's Saint Martin Island or allow a military base in the Bay of Bengal, she said 'I could have come to power in 2001 if I had agreed to sell gas. I gave shelter to 10 lakh Rohingyas on humanitarian grounds. 'I did not want conflict with the Myanmar government and did not allow insurgency and militancy using our land. Is this my crime?' She further alleged that Yunus, his advisers, and coordinators would eventually flee the country, but those responsible for looting and killing would face justice. She criticised Yunus for failing to hold accountable those who killed police and Awami League members, instead granting them indemnity. UNI ANV SSP

'Usha: hysterical laughter': JD Vance's Les Miserables joke called 'cringe'
JD Vance attended the show of Les Miserables with Usha Vance. Before joining President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump for a performance of 'Les Misetrables' at the Kennedy Center Wednesday evening, Vice President JD Vance could not stop cracking a theater joke which, according to social media users, did not land, and only sounded cringeworthy. "About to see Les Misérables with POTUS at the Kennedy Center. Me to Usha: so what's this about? A barber who kills people? Usha; (hysterical laughter) That's apparently a different thing called Sweeney Todd" This was the post that JD Vance made and social media users asked whether it was ironic that he pretended that he had no idea about Les Miserables, which is a story of social injustice and rebellion -- at a time when Los Angeles is witnessing riots. "Jesus Christ this is so cringe," one user posted. MAGA supporters did not like that the VP's joke did not land and they defended JD Vance's sense of humor emphasizing that there is nothing to understand, it's only to laugh. "It's called a sense of humor. Very difficult for the left to achieve with all that anger exhibited," one wrote. "We finally have a VP with a sense of humor and they (pres and vp) have been dragged there by their wives," another wrote. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo "Usha was laughing AT you. Not with you," one wrote. Les Misérables cast members were offered the option to sit out the show on the night of Trump's attendance and many did that. "I couldn't care less," Donald Trump said reacting to the rebuff of the cast members. "All I do is run the country well." 'There's no inflation. People are happy. People are wealthy. The country is getting back to strength again,' said Trump, who was accompanied on the red carpet by Melania. 'That's what I care about.' Loud boos could be heard from the audience as Trump waved from the presidential box, there were also cheers and a chant of 'USA! USA!' There was applause earlier for several drag queens as they arrived at the event. A group of drag performers attended in protest after some attendees gave up their tickets following Trump's shakeup.

Only Cong can ensure protection, justice for minorities: TPCC Office Bearers
Hyderabad, June 12 (UNI) Senior Muslim leaders of the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) on Thursday asserted that only their party had the vision, commitment, and track record to ensure justice, protection, and genuine empowerment of minorities in the state. Addressing a media interaction at Gandhi Bhavan here, the newly appointed TPCC Vice Presidents and General Secretaries praised the Congress government for its inclusive governance and historic welfare initiatives aimed at the socio-economic upliftment of minorities. The interaction was hosted by TPCC Official Spokesperson Syed Nizamuddin, who facilitated a dialogue between the media and the newly appointed Muslim office bearers. Prominent among those who participated were TPCC Vice Presidents Nawab Mujahed Alam Khan and Afser Yousuf Zai, along with General Secretaries Mohammed Abdul Faheem, Mohammed Asaduddin, Rahmath Hussain, and Mohammed Sabir Ali. Speaking on the occasion, Syed Nizamuddin said that the Congress party has a legacy of safeguarding minority rights and promoting inclusive development. He said the newly appointed Muslim leaders in the TPCC bring with them years of grassroots experience and social commitment, and their elevation reflects the Congress party's dedication to ensuring political representation for every section of society. 'Congress is the only party that not only talks about minority welfare but actually delivers it through policy, budget, and political empowerment,' he stated. Nizamuddin also said that the Congress government, under the leadership of Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, has been proactive in reviving public confidence among minorities, especially the youth, who had lost faith during the previous regime. He emphasised that the allocation of Rs 840 crore for minority self-employment schemes was a transformative step that could redefine the economic future of thousands of underprivileged families. He strongly condemned the propaganda being spread by opposition parties and said such efforts were aimed at creating confusion among minorities. 'No amount of misinformation can hide the fact that Telangana is witnessing a renewed focus on secular, inclusive governance. The Congress government is committed to maintaining communal harmony and will not tolerate any attempt to polarise society,' he added. The Chief Minister has shown a genuine commitment to the welfare of minorities, translating promises into concrete actions, they pointed out that the Congress government had increased the budget for Minority Welfare to a record Rs 3,591 crore for the financial year 2025-26 - a significant leap from previous allocations. 'This is not just a symbolic gesture but a clear sign of political will to address the long-standing neglect of the Muslim community,' said Mujahed Alam Khan. The leaders further elaborated on the series of welfare measures that have directly benefited the minority communities. Responding to criticisms by opposition parties, the newly appointed office bearers condemned what they described as a malicious campaign to defame the Congress government. 'The opposition is rattled by the popularity of Congress-led welfare initiatives and is resorting to baseless allegations. The truth is, Congress is delivering on its promises with honesty and transparency,' said Mohammed Asaduddin. In conclusion, the TPCC Muslim leaders reaffirmed their faith in the Congress party's leadership and its ability to bring lasting change to Telangana's minority communities. They called upon the community to remain united and support the government's initiatives aimed at justice, empowerment, and equal opportunity. 'The time for tokenism is over. Under Congress rule, minorities are not just being heard - they are being empowered,' said Mohammed Sabir Ali. UNI KNR SSP
