Trump said on Saturday that efforts to stop further escalation of the Russia-Ukraine war are «somewhat under control.» «Rational discussions» and having good relationships with presidents Vladimir Putin of Russia and Volodymyr Zelenskiy of Ukraine are key to negotiating an end to the war, Trump told Clay Travis, the founder of sports website Outkick, during an interview on Air Force One. Trump had separate discussions with Putin and Zelenskiy last week aimed at ending the war that began when Putin ordered the full-scale invasion of Russia's smaller neighbor in 2022. The talks, which fell short of Trump's aim to secure a full 30-day ceasefire, resulted in Putin agreeing to stop Russian attacks on energy infrastructure for 30 days and Zelenskiy saying he would also accept such a pause.

Donald Trump has denied signing the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan migrants. “I don’t know when it was signed, because I didn’t sign it,” Trump told reporters. Trump, however, defended his administration saying, “We want to get criminals out of our country, number one, and I don’t know when it was signed, because I didn’t sign it...Other people handled it, but (Secretary of State) Marco Rubio has done a great job and he wanted them out and we go along with that. We want to get criminals out of our country.” His comments came after Judge James Boasberg claimed that the proclamation was “signed in the dark” of night and that migrants were hurried onto planes, CNN reported. The judge had issued a two-week temporary block on Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport 238 alleged members of Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan gang. The judge said in court that any flights already en route should return to the US. His written order following the hearing appeared in the court's online docket, the justice department said in a court filing.

Also, surrendered Naxalites will receive rehabilitation and legal support to start a new life, the official said on Saturday. The primary objective of the new policy is to support those affected by Naxal violence and reintegrate surrendered Naxalites into the society. The government believes a balance between strict action and rehabilitation is essential to eliminate Naxalism, the official added. Compensation given in the case of death of 'gopniya sainik' (informers) specially assisting police in anti-Naxalite operations has been increased from Rs 5 lakh to Rs 10 lakh (over and above the compensation payable under central schemes). Similarly, compensation given in the case of permanent disability to such a person has been hiked to Rs 5 lakh from Rs 3 lakh, the official said, citing the draft of the new policy.

In a memorandum to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi late on Friday, Trump said lawyers were helping to fuel «rampant fraud and meritless claims» in the immigration system, and directed the Justice Department to seek sanctions against attorneys for professional misconduct. The order also took aim at law firms that sue the administration in what Trump, a Republican, called «baseless partisan» lawsuits. He asked Bondi to refer such firms to the White House to be stripped of security clearances, and for federal contracts they worked on to be terminated. Ben Wizner, a senior lawyer at the American Civil Liberties Union, said the new directive sought to «chill and intimidate» lawyers who challenge the president's agenda. Trump has separately mounted attacks on law firms over their internal diversity policies and their ties to his political adversaries. «Courts have been the only institution so far that have stood up to Trump's onslaught,» Wizner said. «Courts can't play that role without lawyers bringing cases in front of them.» The ACLU is involved in litigation against the administration over immigrant deportations, including the expulsion of alleged Venezuelan gang members.

Beyond fossil fuels, it extends to developing and deploying renewables on a large scale as well as exploring the potential of small modular reactors, he said. «The fifth biggest economy of the world must necessarily develop a broad and diverse set of energy relationships,» Jaishankar said.

Donald Trump deported 37,660 people during his first month in office, previously unpublished U.S. Department of Homeland Security data show, far less than the monthly average of 57,000 removals and returns in the last full year of Joe Biden's administration. A senior Trump administration official and experts said deportations were poised to rise in coming months as Trump opens up new avenues to ramp up arrests and removals. DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said Biden-era deportation numbers appeared «artificially high» because of higher levels of illegal immigration.

Shark Tank, where fortunes are made and dreams are crushed in mere minutes, one missed opportunity still haunts the show's history. It was a moment of rejection that later turned into a billion-dollar regret. Back in 2013, a passionate entrepreneur walked into the Shark Tank, seeking funding for his innovative startup. His pitch lasted just nine minutes, and when he walked away empty-handed, it seemed like another routine dismissal. But what the Sharks didn’t realize at that moment was that they had just let go of a company that would soon become a household name—one that Amazon would later acquire for a staggering $1 billion.
