Today 15th of August: Missing day the Father of Nation

    People from all walks of life are observing the National Mourning Day today with due respect and solemnity, marking the 41st death anniversary of the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Every year, the country observes the National Mourning Day on August 15 which is also declared a public holiday. On this day in 1975, the Father of the Nation along with most of his family members, was assassinated by a section of disgruntled and ambitious army personnel. His two daughters - Sheikh Hasina, now prime minister, and Sheikh Rehana - escaped the bloodbath as they were abroad. The national flags are lowered to half-mast at all government, semi-government and autonomous bodies, educational institutions, private buildings and Bangladesh missions abroad, UNB repo...

Donald Trump blamed for stoking Islamophobia after imam and assistant shot dead at New York mosque

    The men were shot in the back of the head as they walked home from Saturday afternoon prayers in Islamic dress, according to police. No motive for the killings has yet been established by investigators, but worshippers and community members in Queens said the killings were hate crimes. “That’s not what America is about,” Khairul Islam, 33, told New York Daily News. “We blame Donald Trump for this... Trump and his drama has created Islamophobia." More than 100 people joined a protest on Saturday night outside the mosque where they chanted: “We want Justice.” Mosque leader, Malama Akonjee, 55, a married father of seven from Bangladesh, was pronounced dead at the scene, one block away from the mosque. Thura Uddin, 65, also from Bangaldesh, was rushed to Jamaica Hospital but l...

Brexit could be delayed until late 2019

    The Government has perviously said it would not trigger Article 50 before the end of the year Ministers are reportedly in discussions over a delay in triggering Article 50, the formal process of leaving the European Union, which could see Britain remain a member of the bloc until late 2019. Theresa May, who is expected by many to trigger the two-year process of leaving the EU in early 2017, could push back the timetable because her new Brexit and international trade departments will not be ready, sources in the City of London have told The Sunday Times. Elections on the continent, including those in France and Germany, could also delay Article 50 of the Libson Treaty being triggered. “Ministers are now thinking the trigger could be delayed to autumn 2017,” a source who has...

Liam Fox and Boris Johnson locked in feud over who controls Britain’s foreign policy

    Liam Fox and Boris Johnson are locked in a bitter Whitehall feud over who controls key parts of Britain's foreign policy, a leaked letter seen by The Telegraph reveals. Just weeks after the two men joined the Government, Dr Fox sent Mr Johnson the terse letter, which he copied to Theresa May, effectively demanding that the Foreign Office be broken up. Dr Fox, suggested that British trade with other countries would not "flourish" if responsibility for future policy remained with the Foreign Office. He also listed a series of economic statistics which called into question the Foreign Office's ability to boost Britain's economic ties with other countries and suggested that Mr Johnson focused instead on "diplomacy and security" including overseeing MI6 and GCHQ. The Foreign Se...

Milwaukee riots: Violent protests break out after police officer shoots man dead

    At least two efforts to push protesters back from the main intersection in the north of the city where the majority of the unrest occurred. The violence came after an unnamed 23-year-old man was shot dead while trying to flee from police at a traffic stop. Police said the man – who had a criminal record – had a stolen handgun but it was not clear whether he was brandishing it when he was shot. Neither his race nor that of the officer who fired the fatal shot have been identified. Mr Barrett told a news conference that the shooting was being investigated and the officer was wearing a body camera. The unnamed 24-year-old officer has been put on administrative duty. He has been at the Milwaukee police department for six years. Milwaukee has become the latest US city to be hit...

Americans shun Trump and campaign to install Britain’s QUEEN as head of state

    Tens of thousands have shared an online letter calling for Britain – which lost America in the Revolutionary War of 1765 – to step in and save the nation if Trump and the Republicans win the election on November 8. Many historians have argued that the former British Colony was never formally rescinded at the end of the war in 1783 and that George Washington and Benjamin Franklin merely signed a document removing the United States as a liability and obligation of King George. Now they want to act on that anomaly and, in a play on Donald Trump’s repeated incantation to 'Make America Great Again', a growing number of US citizens are making a call to 'Make America Great Britain Again'.

Government agency tasked with protecting vulnerable workers has had half its funding cut, says Labour

    The government agency responsible for protecting workers from being exploited by their employers has had more than half its funding cut since the Conservatives came to power, according to a new study. Now Labour is demanding that Theresa May put her call for responsible capitalism into practice by restoring the Employment Agency Standards Inspectorate (EAS) to its former size. According to the government’s website the EAS works with agencies, employers and workers to make sure that employment rights are complied with, particularly for vulnerable workers. But according to the Labour Party, its budget has been cut by 53 per cent in six years, bringing it down to £500,000 a year, and it now has the equivalent of nine full time staff, a cut of 70 per cent over the same per...

Jihadi terrorists could be hiding in Calais refugee camp ready to enter and attack Britain

    French police fear growing numbers of jihadi terrorists could be hiding among the thousands of British-bound refugees in Calais. Islamic extremists lurking among 7,000 migrants in the northern French port could be making daily attempts to sneak into the UK, officials said. The squalid camp near the ferry port known as the Jungle had now become an ‘unpoliceable black whole’ where it was not safe for officers to venture, it was warned. A senior police source told Le Figaro newspaper: “What is going on in the camp is truly worrying. Our officers rarely penetrate into the heart of the camp. “It is impossible to know if a jihadi from say Belgium, for example, is hiding there. The area is not policeable and has become a national security black hole.” Calais police union spokesma...
