Domicile policy for recruitment of Bihar teachers
PATNA; In yet another populist move in the run-up to the Bihar Assembly elections slated to be held later this year, Chief Minister and JD(U) leader Nitish Kumar on Monday announced a 'domicile policy' in the recruitment of government teachers. The move is aimed at giving priority to state residents in the recruitment process. The CM, however, did not specify what percentage of recruitments was to be reserved for those born and raised in the state. Under the policy, only residents of Bihar will be eligible to apply for the fourth phase of the teachers' recruitment examination (TRE-4), which will be conducted this year by the Bihar Public Service Commission.

Global markets today: Nikkei 225, Kospi rises after Trump increases tariffs on Indian exports
Global markets today: Asian markets moved higher after U.S. President Donald Trump revealed intentions to sharply increase tariffs on Indian exports to the U.S. Trump announced on Monday that he plans to significantly increase tariffs on Indian goods in response to India's imports of Russian oil. In turn, New Delhi described the U.S. president's move as 'unjustified' and stated it would take steps to protect its interests. 'India is not only buying massive amounts of Russian Oil, they are then, for much of the Oil purchased, selling it on the Open Market for big profits,' Trump wrote on the social media platform Truth Social. Japan's Nikkei 225 advanced by 0.54 per cent, and the Topix edged up 0.45 per cent. South Korea's Kospi climbed 1.77 per cent, while the Kosdaq, focused on small-cap stocks, rose 1.83 per cent. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 also registered a gain of 0.84 per cent. On Monday, all three major U.S. stock indexes posted their biggest single-day percentage gains since May 27, as investors looked for buying opportunities following the previous session's selloff and increased expectations of a September interest rate cut due to weaker-than-anticipated jobs data released on Friday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by 585.06 points, or 1.34 per cent, to close at 44,173.64. The S&P 500 advanced 91.93 points, or 1.47 per cent, to 6,329.94, while the Nasdaq Composite surged 403.45 points, or 1.95 per cent, finishing at 21,053.58. The second-quarter U.S. earnings season is nearing its end, but investors are still anticipating key reports this week from companies such as Walt Disney, opens new tab. Tesla shares climbed 2.2 per cent after the electric car company awarded CEO Elon Musk 96 million shares, valued at approximately $29 billion.

U.S. could require up to $15,000 bonds for some tourist visas under pilot program
The U.S. State Department is proposing requiring applicants for business and tourist visas to post a bond of up to $15,000 to enter the United States, a move that may make the process unaffordable for many. In a notice to be published in the Federal Register on Tuesday (August 5, 2025), the Department said it would start a 12-month pilot program under which people from countries deemed to have high overstay rates and deficient internal document security controls could be required to post bonds of $5,000, $10,000 or $15,000 when they apply for a visa. The proposal comes as the Trump administration is tightening requirements for visa applicants. Last week, the U.S. State Department announced that many visa renewal applicants would have to submit to an additional in-person interview, something that was not required in the past. In addition, the department is proposing that applicants for the Visa Diversity Lottery program have valid passports from their country of citizenship. A preview of the bond notice, which was posted on the Federal Register website on Monday (August 4, 2025), said the pilot program would take effect within 15 days of its formal publication and is necessary to ensure that the U.S. Government is not financially liable if a visitor does not comply with the terms of his or her visa. 'Aliens applying for visas as temporary visitors for business or pleasure and who are nationals of countries identified by the department as having high visa overstay rates, where screening and vetting information is deemed deficient, or offering citizenship by investment, if the alien obtained citizenship with no residency requirement, may be subject to the pilot program,' the notice said. The countries affected will be listed once the program takes effect, it said. The bond could be waived depending on an applicant's individual circumstances. The bond would not apply to citizens of countries enrolled in the Visa Waiver Program, which enables travel for business or tourism for up to 90 days. The majority of the 42 countries enrolled in the program are in Europe, with others in Asia, the Middle East and elsewhere. Visa bonds have been proposed in the past but have not been implemented. The State Department has traditionally discouraged the requirement because of the cumbersome process of posting and discharging a bond and because of a possible misperceptions by the public. However, the Department said that previous view 'is not supported by any recent examples or evidence, as visa bonds have not generally been required in any recent period.'
