Back in Oval Office, Zelenskyy wears blazer and Trump doesnt shout
Agency: PTI Last Updated: Washington, Aug 19 (AP) It was only a few months ago that US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy last met in the Oval Office, but Monday's face-to-face between the two leaders looked markedly different. For much of their February exchange, during which Trump and Vice President JD Vance blasted Zelenskyy as 'disrespectful" and warned about future American support for his country, Zelenskyy crossed his arms and looked askance at the US leaders. The presidents often spoke over each other, also gesturing disagreement. A conservative reporter, Brian Glenn, even asked Zelenskyy why he wasn't wearing a suit. Monday's meeting was rounded out with more smiles and pleasantries between Trump and Zelenskyy, as well as agreement on some points regarding Russia's ongoing war against Ukraine. Both men largely sat with their hands clasped in their laps, affably fielding questions from reporters. And Glenn, when called upon by the Republican US president to speak, complimented Zelensky, saying, 'You look fabulous in that suit." Trump chimed in right after: 'I said the same thing!"

Trinamool Leader Anubrata Mondal Gets Bail In Police Officer Abuse Case
Bolpur: A court in West Bengal's Birbhum district on Monday granted bail to TMC leader Anubrata Mondal after he surrendered in the court and moved an anticipatory relief petition in connection with the case of alleged use of abusive and derogatory language during a telephonic conversation with a police officer. Mondal's plea on health grounds was accepted by Judicial Magistrate Banikbrata Dutta of Bolpur Subdivision Court on a surety of Rs 1,000 and on condition that he will continue to cooperate with the probe and meet the investigating officer (IO) when summoned, court officials said. In a leaked four-minute telephonic conversation between Mondal and Bolpur police station inspector-in-charge Litan Halder on May 29 this year, the authenticity of which PTI couldn't independently verify, the Birbhum Trinamool Congress leader was heard hurling invectives at the police officer and threatening his wife and mother. Left red-faced by the audio-clip, the party issued him a four-hour apology deadline and a suo motu FIR was lodged against him by the police. Mondal was issued police summons and his security details withdrawn. Faced with party annoyance, Mondal tendered written apologies to both the police officer and the TMC state president Subrata Bakshi but avoided responding to the initial summons from Bolpur Police. On June 6, seven days after the purported audio clip surfaced, Mondal appeared before the Bolpur SDPO where his cell phone was reportedly inspected. Mondal arrived at the Bolpur Subdivision Court around 10.40 am on Monday for his voluntary surrender and his bail hearing was taken up post 2 pm. "The court granted him bail considering his age and the physical ailments he suffers from. There are no pre-conditions to his bail," said Nupur Dutta Banerjee, Mondal's counsel. "I had submitted before the court that the IO in this case did not duly comply with the notice served to Mondal under Section 35(3) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, which outlines the procedure for police to issue a notice to individuals in cognisable offenses where arrest isn't immediately necessary," said Phiroj Pal, government lawyer, confirming that he opposed the bail prayer. "Secondly, we are still not privy to the police's case diary (CD) and have no idea how far the investigations in this case have so far progressed. We wanted the court to wait till we had the CD in our hand," he added. Pal said that the court was prima facie satisfied with the petitioner's submission that Mondal has cooperated with the police and that there has been no progress in the probe for a formidable period. In September 2024, Mondal was granted bail in the multi-crore cattle smuggling case when he stepped out of the Tihar Jail after remaining imprisoned for over two years.

HC grants bail to Kakani in illegal quartz mining case
Vijayawada: The high court on Monday granted bail to former minister Kakani Govardan Reddy in an alleged illegal quartz mining case. The court directed Govardan Reddy to surrender his passport and to appear before the investigation officer every Sunday. The High Court also refrained him from making any kind of public statement about the case. Police registered a case against Govardan Reddy based on a complaint given by Balaji Naik, Nellore district deputy director for mining, over alleged illegal quartz mining done by encroaching govt land in Varadapuram under Podalakuru mandal. Police arrested Govardan Reddy, and the trial court sent him to judicial remand. He moved the High Court after his bail application was rejected by the trial court. Govardan Reddy, who is facing criminal charges in seven cases, obtained bail in all other cases, except in the illegal mining case. He was in judicial remand for the last 75 days. While granting bail in the illegal mining case, the High Court imposed several conditions. Govardan Reddy was directed not to enter Nellore district until the police file a charge sheet in the case. He should not leave Andhra Pradesh and Telangana without prior permission. He should not influence the witnesses in any manner, and his passport should be surrendered until the completion of the trial. Two sureties of Rs 2 lakh each should be furnished, and any violation of bail terms will be considered as deemed cancellation of bail.
