Man Utd want to host 2035 Women's World Cup final
The £2bn stadium project, announced in March, aims to be completed within 5–6 years near the current Old Trafford site. Club co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe is spearheading the regeneration effort, with Lord Sebastian Coe recently named Chair-Designate of the Mayoral Development Corporation overseeing the Old Trafford redevelopment.
While the timeline is ambitious and subject to potential delays, United sources remain confident that the stadium will be ready well ahead of 2035. The UK—comprising all four home nations—is currently the sole bidder for the tournament, with the Football Association expected to submit its proposal to FIFA by year's end.
United CEO Omar Berrada praised Lord Coe's leadership, noting his legacy in overseeing the 2012 London Olympics and highlighting the positive momentum toward making the 'new Old Trafford' a global football landmark.

Tariff talks between Bangladesh and US end without conclusion
Dhaka: The three-day second-round tariff talks between Bangladesh and the United States have ended without conclusion. "The two countries have agreed on some more issues on the third and final day of the second round of trade talks. However, some issues still remain unresolved. Both sides have decided that inter-ministerial talks will continue between them. Then representatives of the two countries will sit down for talks again," Bangladesh Chief Adviser's Press Wing said in a statement on Saturday. "The discussion can be held both virtually and face-to-face. It is expected that the time and date will be fixed very soon. The Trade Advisor, Secretary and Additional Secretary will return to the country tomorrow. If necessary, they will go again," it added. "Following three days of talks, Commerce Adviser Sheikh Bashir Uddin and Security Adviser Khalilur Rahman are optimistic that a positive position can be reached within the stipulated time," the statement said. Commerce Adviser Sheikh Bashir Uddin leads the Bangladeshi side. National Security Advisor Dr Khalilur Rahman and Special Assistant to the Principal Advisor Faiz Tayyab participated virtually from Dhaka. High-ranking government officials and experts were also present virtually. Earlier, two days ahead of the July 9 deadline, US President Donald Trump issued a letter to Bangladesh, imposing a 35 per cent tariff. According to the letter, the tariff will take effect on August 1. "We have had years to discuss our Trading Relationship with Bangladesh and have concluded that we must move away from these long-term and very persistent Trade Deficits engendered by Bangladesh's Tariff and Non-Tariff Policies and Trade Barriers. Our relationship has been, unfortunately, far from Reciprocal. Starting on August 1, 2025, we will charge Bangladesh a Tariff of only 35 per cent on any and all Bangladeshi products sent into the United States, separate from all Sectoral Tariffs. Goods trans-shipped to evade a higher Tariff will be subject to that higher Tariff," the letter read. "Please understand that the 35% number is far less than what is needed to eliminate the Trade Deficit disparity we have with your for any reason you decide to raise your Tariffs, then, whatever the number you choose to raise them by, will be added onto the 35% that we charge," it added.

Indian trade delegation to visit Washington as India-US trade talks enter final stage: Govt sources
New Delhi: India and the United States have stepped up their trade talks, with both sides actively engaging in virtual discussions. The government sources told ANI that an Indian trade delegation will revisit Washington DC soon for in-person negotiations aimed at finalising a trade deal. Sources familiar with the matter also said that besides in person meetings, Indian officials have also been engaged in several virtual meetings with their US counterparts in recent weeks. These meetings have helped set the stage for more detailed and comprehensive face-to-face talks. The upcoming visit by the Indian delegation is seen as a major step forward in advancing discussions on a possible trade agreement. The talks are focusing on both a broad-based trade agreement as well as targeted trade arrangements that could help resolve key issues between the two countries. The ongoing dialogue reflects a serious effort by both sides to deepen trade ties and reduce friction on trade-related matters. The discussions gained momentum after US President Donald Trump, who returned to office earlier this year, announced a tariff policy targeting countries with trade surpluses against the United States. India was among the countries likely to be affected by the proposed tariffs on exports to the US. However, the tariff implementation, initially planned for April, was paused for 90 days and later extended until August 1. This extension has provided both countries extra time to negotiate and try to reach on a mutually beneficial agreement. Officials said that the current round of discussions is critical, and the Indian delegation's visit could play a key role in finalising the deal before the extended deadline. Meanwhile the Donald Trump continues with his tariff policy as a tool to pressurize countries as on Wednesday, he announced a new list of tariffs targeting 14 countries. Products from Algeria, Libya, Iraq, and Sri Lanka will face a 30 per cent tariff, while Brunei and Moldova will see a 25 per cent tariff. Goods from the Philippines will attract a 20 per cent tariff. Brazil has been hit the hardest, with a steep 50 per cent punitive tariff, especially on copper. On July 8, Trump shared letters sent to Japan's Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba and South Korea's President Lee Jae-myung, stating that both countries would face a 25 per cent tariff from August 1. He later confirmed that similar letters had been sent to Malaysia and Kazakhstan, which will also face 25 per cent tariffs. According to the letters, Myanmar and Laos will face a 40 per cent tariff, while Indonesia will be subject to a 32 per cent tariff. Imports from Thailand and Cambodia will be taxed at 36 per cent, and from Bangladesh and Serbia at 35 per cent. South Africa and Bosnia and Herzegovina will see 30 per cent tariffs, and Tunisia will face a 25 per cent rate.
