‘Probably will know in an hour…': Donald Trump and EU chief begin trade deal talks in Scotland; seen as make-or-break
Donald Trump trade deals (AI image) US-EU trade deal: US President Donald Trump has begun trade deal talks with European Union chief Ursula von der Leyen in Scotland. Ahead of the talks, Trump spoke of the likelihood of a trade deal saying, '. .probably will know in an hour.' Trump and Ursula von der Leyen are looking to resolve a prolonged transatlantic trade dispute as the deadline approaches. Earlier Trump indicated a 50 percent probability of reaching an agreement with the European Union, which faces a reciprocal tariff of 30% unless a trade agreement is secured by August 1, with US officials confirming on Sunday that "no extensions" would be granted. Von der Leyen's European Commission, representing EU member states, is actively pursuing an agreement to protect trade relations valued at $1.9 trillion annually in goods and services. An EU diplomatic source told AFP that a framework for agreement emerged following late-night discussions on Saturday, several crucial matters remained unresolved. The ultimate decision remains with Trump. A diplomatic source was quoted as saying that while a political agreement exists, it awaits Trump's approval, who is maintaining negotiations until the final moment. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If you have a mouse, play this game for 1 minute Navy Quest Undo The suggested arrangement includes a standard 15% tariff on European Union exports to the US, matching Japan's agreement, with exemptions for crucial industries such as aircraft and spirits, excluding wine. EU member states must ratify any agreement. Their ambassadors, whilst in Greenland, received updates from the commission and planned subsequent meetings following potential agreement confirmation. The EU representative indicated that the 27 nations broadly supported the proposed arrangement, whilst maintaining their established negotiating positions. The summit between Trump and von der Leyen is taking place at Turnberry along Scotland's southwestern shoreline, at the president's golf establishment, where he spent considerable time playing over the weekend. Trump, aged 79, expressed on Friday his aspiration to achieve a significant agreement with the EU.

SIR: EC gets 7.24cr responses, faces flak over 57L likely deletions
Patna: The Election Commission (EC) on Sunday said it received enumeration forms from over 91.69% of the Bihar's 7.89 crore electors even as its special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in the state has come under intense criticism from political leaders, academics and civil society members. The controversy arose from the EC's revelation that around 57 lakh electors have been marked as either "untraceable" or "dead" during the drive, raising serious concerns over the methodology and execution of the exercise. While the EC hailed the participation as significant, highlighting that 7.24 crore forms were collected, including 29 lakh submitted online, critics argued that the exclusion of such a large number of electors indicates potential systemic flaws in voter roll maintenance. "The untraceable section of 35 lakh electors are none other than our own migrant workers who have struggled for existence for years," said DM Diwakar, former director of A N Sinha Institute of Social Studies. "These people could not return home to submit documents manually or online. This is a denial of their constitutional right," he added. The EC, on the other hand, claimed that booth level officers (BLOs) visited every household thrice and held special camps in 5,683 wards across 261 urban local bodies to ensure no elector was left out. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Brain tumor has left my son feeling miserable; please help!

"As per Para 5(b) of SIR guidelines, no name can be deleted without notice and a speaking order of the ERO/AERO," the EC said, adding that any elector aggrieved by a decision may appeal to the district magistrate and subsequently to the chief electoral officer. Despite these assurances, scepticism abounds. "While the EC claims to increase voter participation, it is ruthlessly deleting names without giving people time or opportunity," said Diwakar. "No one can be deprived of voting rights due to lack of documents," he added. CPI-ML state secretary Kunal accused the EC of carrying out a "deletion campaign" rather than a revision. "SIR kuchh aur nahin, balki chhatni abhiyan hai," he said, citing the example of Khopira village in Bhojpur district where the number of registered voters dropped from 1,200 to 911 after the revision. "Three hundred villagers had only temporarily migrated for work, but they were wrongly marked as permanently gone," he alleged. RJD spokesperson Chitranjan Gagan questioned the EC's count of 22 lakh deceased voters. "How can 22 lakh people die within six months of the last summary revision in January?" he asked, pointing out that only 12.43 lakh deaths were recorded in Bihar between 2022 and 2024, according to official state data. "Where has this inflated death toll come from?" Gagan also expressed concern over the fate of nearly 45% of Bihar's electorate who reportedly lack any of the 11 identity documents required by the EC. "Deletion of their names looks inevitable," he said. The EC defended its outreach, saying that it issued full-page advertisements in 246 newspapers across India and instructed state CEOs to reach out to temporarily migrated Bihar workers. "Meetings were also held with political parties and BLOs engaged with booth level agents to facilitate form submissions. Each BLA was permitted to file up to 50 enumeration forms daily to ensure full party involvement," the EC said on Sunday. The commission added the scrutiny of received forms would continue till Aug 1 and the claims and objections period would run from Aug 1 to Sept 1. Volunteers are being trained to assist in filing appeals and a standardised format for this will be widely circulated.

Man Ki Baat: PM Modi praises astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla; says new wave of curiosity for space among kids
File photo (Picture credit: PTI) NEW DELHI: Ahead of the National Space Day, PM Narendra Modi on Sunday highlighted India's growing capabilities in space sector, mentioning the achievement of IAF Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla's recent journey to International Space Station, talked about a new wave of curiosity about space among children and pointed out that today more than 200 startups have come up in the space sector alone. Talking about Shubhanshu Shukla, who was one of the four crew members of the Axiom-4 mission to ISS, PM Modi, in his 124th 'Mann Ki Baat' episode, said, 'We shall touch upon the successes of the country; the achievements of the countrymen.' He said when Shukla landed back on Earth, a 'wave of happiness rippled through every heart' and added that the 'whole country was filled with pride.' PM Modi also highlighted how the success of Isro's Chandrayaan-3 mission created an atmosphere of curiosity in the country for space endeavours. 'I remember, when Chandrayaan-3 successfully landed in August 2023, a new ambience was created in the country. A new curiosity also arose among children about science, about space. Little children now say, we will also go to space; we will also land on the Moon — we will become space scientists," PM Modi said. PM Modi specifically mentioned the 'INSPIRE-MANAK Abhiyan,' which promotes innovation among children by providing them with a platform to develop innovative ideas rooted in science. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo 'In this, five children are selected from each school. Each child brings up a new idea. So far, lakhs of children have joined this, and after Chandrayaan-3, their number has doubled,' he said. PM noted a rise in India's space startups, pointing out that the number has almost quadrupled in the last five years. 'Five years ago, there were fewer than 50 start-ups. Today, there are more than 200," he said. Further noting the upcoming National Space Day on August 23, PM Modi said, "How will you celebrate it..., do you have any new ideas? Do send me a message on the NaMo App'. PM Modi also mentioned the recent achievements of students in the science and mathematics fields, giving a shout-out to the brightest minds. 'In 21st-century India, science is progressing with renewed energy. A few days ago, our students won medals in the International Chemistry Olympiad. India has also strengthened its image in the world of mathematics. In the International Mathematical Olympiad held in Australia, our students won 3 Gold, 2 Silver and 1 Bronze medal," PM Modi said. He also announced that an Astronomy and Astrophysics Olympiad is going to be held in Mumbai next month. This will be the biggest Olympiad to date, he noted. The PM also hailed the development of Unesco recognising 12 Maratha forts as World Heritage Sites. 'Eleven forts in Maharashtra; one in Tamil Nadu. Each fort has a chapter of history attached to it. Every stone is a testimony to a historical event... Salher Fort, where the Mughals were defeated, Shivneri, where Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was born. A fort that is unbreachable for the enemy. Khanderi Fort is an amazing fort built in the middle of the sea,' he said. 'The enemy wanted to stop him, but Shivaji Maharaj made the impossible possible. Pratapgarh Fort, where Afzal Khan was defeated, the echo of that saga still remains entrenched in the walls of the fort. Vijaydurg, which had secret tunnels, is proof of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's farsightedness. I visited Raigad a few years ago... bowed in front of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's statue. This experience will stay with me all my life,' Modi said. He said sometimes a task comes across as impossible to some people, but when the country comes together on one thought, even the impossible becomes possible. '' Swachh Bharat Mission ' is the biggest example of this. Soon, this mission will complete 11 years. But its strength and its need are still the same,' he said. In these 11 years, 'Swachh Bharat Mission' has become a mass movement, and people consider it their duty, and this is real public participation, Modi said. 'The Swachh Survey conducted every year has lifted this feeling further. This year, more than 4500 cities and towns of the country joined it. More than 15 crore people participated in it. This is not an ordinary number. This is the voice of Swachh Bharat,' he said.
