ANI reported. "Since we have waited for two years, we can wait for a few more days. If we do not get an appropriate response by October 31, Trinamool Congress will organise a larger movement from November 1.

Joe Biden said on Friday that both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Hamas wanted to completely «annihilate» their neighbouring democracies. «We've not forgotten the mass graves, the bodies found bearing signs of torture, rape used as a weapon by the Russians, and thousands and thousands of Ukrainian children forcibly taken into Russia, stolen from their parents. It's sick.

ban on assault weapons did it again on Thursday, ruling that the state's attempts to prohibit sales of semiautomatic guns violates the constitutional right to bear arms. U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez of San Diego conceded that powerful weapons like AR-15 rifles are commonly used by criminals, but said the guns are importantly also owned by people who obey the law and feel they need firearms to protect themselves. «The State of California posits that its 'assault weapon' ban, the law challenged here, promotes an important public interest of disarming some mass shooters even though it makes criminals of law-abiding residents who insist on acquiring these firearms for self-defense,» Benitez wrote.

Biden on Thursday asked Americans to spend billions more dollars to help Israel fight Hamas while Israel's defence chief told his troops to be ready to go into the Gaza Strip to destroy the Palestinian militant group. In a televised White House speech late on Thursday that also addressed Ukraine's effort to repel Russia's invasion, Biden said Hamas sought to «annihilate» Israel's democracy. The president, who made an eight-hour visit to Israel on Wednesday, also stressed the urgency of getting relief to Palestinian civilians in Gaza who lack food, water and medicine. «We can't ignore the humanity of innocent Palestinians who only want to live in peace and have opportunity,» he said. Biden said he would ask Congress on Friday to approve extra funding for Israel.

US Navy ship in the Red Sea on Thursday shot down missiles and drones that had been fired by Iran-backed Huthi rebels in Yemen, possibly at Israel, the Pentagon said.

Biden on Thursday said Hamas and Russia are both out to «annihilate» democracies in an impassioned speech to the nation from the Oval Office, where he made the case for US assistance to Ukraine and Israel. Hamas and Russian President Vladimir Putin «represent different threats but they share this in common: they both want to completely annihilate a neighboring democracy,» Biden said in the prime-time speech. Fresh from a whirlwind trip to Israel, the 80-year-old Democrat delivered just the second speech of his presidency from behind the historic Resolute Desk in a bid to win over war-weary voters and hardline Republicans. Biden, seeking reelection in 2024, is preparing to push Congress for a massive, $100 billion package that includes funding for Israel in its war with Hamas and for Ukraine's battle against Russia's invasion. Tying together two conflicts an ocean away from the United States is a bid by Biden to frame them as part of a bigger struggle to shape the world order and protect Americans at home. Biden had earlier said on X, formerly Twitter that «we are at a global inflection point that is bigger than party or politics.» Presidents traditionally reserve speeches from the solemn setting of the Oval Office for moments of key national significance. Biden's only previous address from there was in June when he hailed a deal with Congress to avert what would have been a catastrophic US debt default. But Congress has now been paralyzed for more than two weeks as divided Republicans, who control the majority in the House, fail repeatedly to agree on electing a House speaker. Hard-right Republicans, and a growing number of voters, are also strongly opposed to adding to the $43.9 billion in security assistance

Currently, a mere 10% of India’s total buildings are certified green.
