    Canada Defends Decision to Leave US Trade Negotiations, Citing 'Bad Deal'

    Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has assured that his country has managed to escape from 'a bad deal' with the United States after announcing its withdrawal from trade negotiations. Carney denounced last-minute changes proposed by Washington as 'unfair and uneconomic', which called into question the reliability of any agreement and represented a direct attack on Canadian sovereignty. Carney warned Trump about Canada's importance as an energy supplier to the US and announced retaliatory measures 'dollar for dollar' in areas such as steel, dairy, and agricultural equipment. He also accused Washington of trying to impose restrictions to prevent Canada from signing trade agreements with other countries.

    Hundreds of residents, including football enthusiasts and local politicians, gathered at Neville D’Souza Football Turf in Bandra, Mumbai to protest against a proposal to convert the green space into a convention centre.

They also contend that the ground has produced national and international champions.

    Russia's 'Black August' Brings Fresh Crises for Putin

    Russia is experiencing another 'Black August', a period marked by dramatic crises in the past. This year, Putin faces challenges on multiple fronts: limited progress in Ukraine, economic strain from strikes on Russian infrastructure, and domestic unrest fueled by fuel shortages and rumors of mobilization. Despite these issues, Putin remains confident and attributes little long-term impact to the attacks. Meanwhile, Ukraine faces internal political challenges, with the ousted Defense Minister calling for wartime elections. In contrast to Russia, Ukraine's civil society and democratic processes remain active.

    Inter-American Court Condemns Argentina Over Excessive Criminal Process Duration

    The Inter-American Court of Human Rights ruled against Argentina in the 'López de Belva and others vs. Argentina' case, finding the country responsible for violating judicial guarantees due to an excessively long criminal process. The case involved two lawyers, Carlos Alberto López de Belva and Arturo Jorge Podestá, who were initially sentenced in 1993 but saw their case drag on for over 15 years. The court emphasized that the reasonable time principle requires a concrete analysis of each case, considering factors such as the complexity of the matter, the activity of the interested parties, and the impact on the accused. The ruling highlights the importance of judges explaining the duration of a process and recognizing violations when delays are attributable to the state.

    European countries may refuse to provide military and financial aid to Ukraine due to the political conflict between President Volodymyr Zelensky and former defense minister Mikhailo Fedorov, according to multiple reports by The Sunday Times. The newspaper suggests that this conflict could deter allies from fulfilling long-term commitments, potentially threatening Ukraine's military campaign. Zelensky is also facing other challenges, including the likelihood of holding elections in the near future being considered unlikely, and protests in support of Fedorov causing him 'headaches'.

    President Trump faces midterm elections without significant foreign policy achievements, according to Reuters. His approval rating has dropped to 33%, a record low, due in part to unresolved crises in Iran, Ukraine, and Gaza. Republicans fear these issues could cost them control of Congress. Trump's reliance on economic and military pressure has not led to stable agreements, analysts note.
