<p>United States President Donald Trump has extended the suspension of tariffs imposed on China for another 90 days. The tariff suspension was initially set to expire on 12 August, but Trump has now decided to extend it. He has signed an order to this effect. This means the tariffs imposed on China will remain suspended until 10 November.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why the US President Softened His Stance Towards the ‘Dragon’?</h2>



<p>At one point, Trump was adamant about increasing tariffs against China to as much as 245%. Now, why has he softened his stance against the ‘Dragon’? Let&#8217;s consider the possible reasons.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">◙ China’s Tit-for-Tat Approach</h2>



<p>Whenever Trump threatened China with tariffs, China responded in kind. Trump’s tariff threats were met with China’s own threat of 125% tariffs on American goods. This response from China may have been unexpected by Trump.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">◙ Boosting Negotiations</h2>



<p>This decision by Trump is also being attributed to the aim of promoting trade talks between the two countries. Trump wants a trade deal between the US and China that benefits America.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">◙ Economic Impact</h2>



<p>High tariffs on Chinese goods during the Christmas and holiday season in the US could lead to increased prices, impacting consumers and small businesses. This could be politically damaging for the Trump administration.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">◙ Strategic Move</h2>



<p>Some experts believe this decision is a result of pressure from China and America’s economic constraints. Chinese goods are cheap and popular in the American market.</p>

<p><strong>Trump-Zelensky Meeting:</strong> US President Donald Trump stated that Ukraine should abandon its aspirations of joining NATO. Before meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, he asserted that if Kyiv desires to end the war with Russia, it must relinquish its NATO ambitions – a long-standing demand of Moscow. Putin also intends for Ukraine to remain outside of NATO.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pressure for a Peace Deal on Ukraine</h2>



<p>He also pressured Ukraine to accept a peace agreement, suggesting that with some concessions, the war, ongoing for over three years, could be swiftly concluded. Trump cited Russia&#8217;s annexation of Crimea during former US President Barack Obama&#8217;s 2014 tenure on Truth Social. Trump stated that Zelensky could choose to end the war with Russia immediately or continue a protracted conflict, but should remember how it began.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Leading European Figures in Attendance</h2>



<p>Today, alongside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, prominent European leaders, along with NATO and EU heads, will meet with US President Donald Trump in Washington. It&#8217;s anticipated that during the meeting with Zelensky, Trump might pressure the Ukrainian president to cede the Donbas region as part of a peace agreement with Russia. In response, European leaders, who have stood by Ukraine for over three and a half years, are arriving in Washington to present a united front in support of Zelensky.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trump Spoke with Zelensky After the Summit</h2>



<p>It&#8217;s noteworthy that following the Alaska summit, US President Donald Trump held talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. During this conversation, Trump briefed Zelensky on the US-Russia summit. The discussion also included Ukraine potentially relinquishing certain territories. Zelensky responded that Ukraine cannot cede land without constitutional changes. He highlighted that key cities in Donetsk, such as Sloviansk and Kramatorsk, are strategically sensitive and prevent further Russian advances.</p>



<p>He also emphasised Ukraine&#8217;s need for security guarantees to prevent future Russian aggression. Zelensky stated that they seek lasting peace for Ukraine, not another ceasefire amidst Russian attacks. Meanwhile, in media interactions, Trump had stated that Ukraine should agree to a peace deal with Russia, asserting that Russia is a major military power and Ukraine is no match for it.</p>

<p><strong>Team India Update for Asia Cup 2025:</strong> With less than three weeks remaining before the start of the Asia Cup 2025, the announcement of the Indian team is scheduled for 19 August. The tournament begins on 9 September. Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson have been performing exceptionally well as opening batsmen in T20 Internationals recently. There seems to be no reason to exclude either of them. </p>



<p>Speculation was rife that the selection committee, headed by Ajit Agarkar, wanted to include Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal in the T20 squad. There were also reports that Gill could be made the vice-captain of the T20 team to eventually become captain across all formats. </p>



<p>However, recent reports suggest that neither will feature in the Asia Cup 2025.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Gill and Jaiswal Might Be Omitted</h2>



<p>According to a report by Sportstar, the selectors are reportedly making a significant decision to leave Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal out of the Asia Cup 2025 squad. Chief selector Ajit Agarkar is planning to retain the core group that performed exceptionally well in recent T20 International matches under the coaching of Gautam Gambhir.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Potential Return for Two Players</h2>



<p>The report also suggests that the selectors want to include Shreyas Iyer and Jitesh Sharma in the Asia Cup team. Jitesh Sharma had a stellar performance for RCB in IPL 2025, impressing everyone with his big shots and contributing significantly to the team&#8217;s first title win. Meanwhile, Shreyas Iyer played a crucial role in leading Punjab Kings to the final.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Shreyas and Jitesh Missed Out Under Gambhir&#8217;s Coaching</h2>



<p>It&#8217;s worth noting that since Gautam Gambhir became coach, neither Shreyas Iyer nor Jitesh Sharma has played a single T20 International match. Shreyas Iyer last played a T20 International in December 2023, while Jitesh Sharma&#8217;s last match was in January 2024.</p>

<p>Rajasthan Roadways has increased bus fares by up to 20 per cent from August 6th. This decision has made travelling by roadways buses more expensive.</p>



<p>Passengers have criticised the fare hike, deeming it inappropriate during the current inflationary period. Notably, the increase was implemented without any prior announcement, leading to daily arguments and disputes between passengers and conductors regarding fares.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What do Roadways Officials Say?</h2>



<p>According to Roadways officials, the fare increase is as follows: 95 paise per kilometre for ordinary buses, ₹1 per kilometre for express and mail buses, ₹1.10 for semi-deluxe buses, ₹1.70 for deluxe buses, and ₹2.50 per kilometre for AC and super luxury buses. This increase has been implemented by updating the computer systems and ticket machines.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">No Change in Extra Charges</h2>



<p>Under the new orders, a minimum fare of ₹5 has been fixed for adult passengers and ₹2.50 for children for a minimum distance of 5 kilometres. However, officials have clarified that there has been no change in the rates of extra charges.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Increased Burden on the Common Man</h2>



<p>This decision has most significantly impacted daily commuters, whose expenses will now increase considerably. Many passengers feel that instead of providing relief during this inflationary period, the government is adding to the burden on the common man.</p>



<p>Roadways officials, however, argue that the increase was necessary due to the rising cost of diesel and maintenance. Overall, this move by Roadways has caused inconvenience to passengers. Dissatisfaction over the fare hike is evident, and its impact on the number of Roadways passengers may be seen in the coming days.</p>

<p>Have you ever wondered what makes the human brain so unique compared to all other living beings? Scientists have been researching this enigma for a long time, and now they have made a new discovery. Scientists at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine in the USA have made a new breakthrough in this field. They have discovered a small but powerful segment of DNA, named HAR123.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">This DNA Switch Makes the Human Brain Unique</h2>



<p>Scientists believe that a DNA switch called Human Accelerated Regions (HAR) makes the human brain unique and distinct from other organisms. Among these, the special HAR123 acts like a volume control. Its function is to determine which gene will be active, when, and to what extent. It can be understood as a TV remote that controls everything.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Determines the Balance of Our Brain</h2>



<p>HAR123 has a deep relationship with the brain. It affects neural progenitor cells. These cells produce the two most important cells of the brain, neurons and glia. HAR123 not only increases their number but also determines their ratio. This balance is what makes the human brain unique.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Works Differently in Humans Compared to Chimpanzees</h2>



<p>The research found that human HAR123 and chimpanzee HAR123 function differently. The HARs of DNA are the segments that have undergone significantly more changes during human evolution compared to other organisms. This helps humans adopt new information. Scientists say that further research could help in treating autism and neurological problems.</p>


<p>Scientists have discovered the DNA switch that makes the human brain unique. Let&#8217;s learn about this DNA switch.</p>

<p>Over the past decade, Rajasthan&#8217;s government and private medical colleges have produced 15,000 new doctors. The number of medical colleges in the state has reached 42, with 5,668 MBBS seats. This means that in the next ten years, the state will produce 56,668 new doctors. However, the pace of government recruitment is so slow that annual recruitment targets are still not being met. According to the CAG report 2025, approximately 10,000 doctors were recruited in the eight years from 2016-17 to 2024-25. Meanwhile, more than 15,000 MBBS graduates passed out between 2022-25. In short, new doctors are being trained, but there aren&#8217;t enough positions for them in hospitals. </p>



<p>The situation for specialist doctors is no different. While there has been an increase in PG seats, appointments are primarily limited to medical colleges. Hospitals in rural and tribal areas continue to struggle with a shortage of specialist doctors. Experts suggest that instead of focusing on existing sanctioned posts, a cadre review should be conducted to sanction posts based on the needs of the hospitals.</p>



<p>Here&#8217;s the data in tabular form:</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Doctor Shortage: Up to 35%</h2>



<p>According to the CAG and HDI reports, the shortage of doctors in primary and secondary level institutions is 35.51%, and for specialist doctors, it&#8217;s 38.55%. Tertiary institutions also have 21.45% vacant doctor posts and 24.89% vacant specialist posts. The number of colleges and seats has also increased. As of 31 March 2016, there were eight government medical colleges in seven districts of the state. According to the NEET-UG 2025 seat matrix, Rajasthan now has 42 medical colleges – 30 government and 12 private – with 5,668 approved MBBS seats (3,618 government and 2,050 private). Between 2022 and 2025, a mere three years, 1,231 seats were added, with 841 of these in government colleges. This means hundreds of new doctors are being trained every year.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Annual Recruitment Efforts Ongoing – Minister of Medical and Health</h2>



<p>The Minister of Medical and Health, Gajendra Singh Khimsar, stated that with the increase in the number of medical colleges, the number of new doctors has also increased rapidly. Recently, 1,700 new doctors were appointed. Efforts are underway to increase the number of new recruitment posts and to make recruitment an annual process.</p>

<p><strong>Alaska Summit:</strong> On 15 August, Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump met in Alaska. Their conversation lasted approximately 2.5 hours. According to a Reuters report, following the summit, Putin proposed to the US that if Ukraine ceded complete control of Donetsk to Russia, he could restrain his forces from advancing on other fronts. However, this demand was flatly rejected by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trump&#8217;s Post-Summit Discussion with Zelenskyy</h2>



<p>Following the Alaska summit, US President Donald Trump spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, detailing his conversation with Putin. Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine cannot cede its land without constitutional changes. He highlighted that key cities in Donetsk, such as Sloviansk and Kramatorsk, are strategically sensitive and prevent further Russian advances. He also emphasised the need for security guarantees for Ukraine to prevent future Russian aggression. Zelenskyy asserted that Ukraine seeks lasting peace, not another ceasefire amidst Russian invasion. Meanwhile, during media interactions, Trump stated that Ukraine should agree to a peace deal with Russia, asserting that Russia is a major military power and Ukraine is no match for it.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Russia&#8217;s Occupation of the Donetsk Region</h2>



<p>The Donetsk region has been largely under Russian control since 2014. Following the war that began in 2022, Russia occupies approximately 20% of Ukraine. Russia has complete control over the Donetsk province. It is believed that this area of Ukraine has a predominantly Russian-speaking population. Trump stated that he and Putin agreed that any peace deal should proceed without a prior ceasefire, a long-standing demand of Ukraine and its European allies. Trump wrote on Truth Social that all agreed that the best way to end the horrific war between Russia and Ukraine is a peace deal, not just a ceasefire, which often doesn&#8217;t last.</p>



<p>It is reported that Zelenskyy may arrive in Washington on Monday, 18 August. For this meeting, US President Donald Trump has also invited other European leaders. European leaders have expressed support for the upcoming talks but reiterated their support for Ukraine. They also hinted at plans to further tighten sanctions on Russia.</p>

Breaking: Haryana Sold for ₹120,000, Forced Marriage Orchestrated by Mastermind


<p><strong>Katni.</strong> A sensational case of human trafficking and rape involving a 15-year-old girl has come to light in the Rangnath Nagar police station area. The girl was sold for ₹120,000 in Haryana by her friend&#8217;s mother, who then forced her into marriage. In this heinous crime, the accused woman posed as the girl&#8217;s mother and another individual as her maternal uncle to facilitate the deal. After the girl failed to return home for 15 days, her family filed a complaint, prompting a police investigation that uncovered this serious case of human trafficking.</p>



<p>Upon receiving information about the disappearance of the 15-year-old girl residing in the Rangnath Nagar police station area, her parents contacted the local police. The family stated that the girl frequently visited her friend&#8217;s house. When she did not return home for 15 days, the family appealed to CSP Neha Pacchisya. Considering the seriousness of the matter, the CSP immediately launched an investigation. On 5 August, a case of the girl&#8217;s abduction was registered at the Rangnath Nagar police station, and a search was initiated.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Unveiling the Secret</h2>



<p>The police questioned the girl&#8217;s friend&#8217;s mother, Sapna Gurjar (35), a resident of Bandhwa Tola, originally from Rajasthan. Initially evasive, Sapna confessed her crime under intense questioning. She revealed that she had conspired with a young man from Haryana to sell the girl for ₹120,000 and force her into marriage.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Girl Found in Haryana; Forced Marriage Revealed</h2>



<p>Acting swiftly, the police raided Hooda district, Palwal in Haryana, where the girl was found in the custody of Robbie Jat (25). During questioning, Robbie admitted to paying Sapna Gurjar and the alleged maternal uncle ₹120,000 to marry the girl. The girl had been trying to escape for the past eight days, but Robbie had prevented her from doing so. The police rescued the girl, arrested Robbie, and brought him to Katni.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Human Trafficking Ring; Search for Two Others</h2>



<p>The police investigation revealed that Sapna Gurjar was running a gang that trafficked girls and forced them into marriage. Two other individuals from Jhansi and Haryana are also involved in this case, and the police are searching for them. A case has been registered against Sapna Gurjar and Robbie Jat under the Human Trafficking Act, Rape Act, Kidnapping Act, POCSO Act, and SC/ST Act. Sapna Gurjar was presented before the court on 12 August and sent to jail. Similarly, Robbie Jat was produced in court on 14 August and also sent to jail. The girl has been safely reunited with her parents.</p>



<p><strong>Statement</strong><br>A woman, along with a young man, sold a girl in Haryana and forced her into marriage. This human trafficking racket was exposed following a complaint from the family. The woman who sold the girl and the man who married her have been sent to jail. The search for other members of this gang is ongoing.<br><strong>Neha Pacchisya, CSP.</strong></p>

<p><strong>India-US Trade Deal:</strong> The United States has dealt a significant blow to India. The Trump Administration has postponed the sixth round of negotiations for the proposed bilateral trade agreement, which was scheduled to take place in New Delhi from 25 to 29 August. A US official stated that a potential reschedule of the visit will be released soon. Simultaneously, an additional 25% tariff will be imposed on India starting 27 August. The Trump administration announced this additional tariff in response to India&#8217;s purchase of Russian oil, bringing the total tariff to 50%.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trump&#8217;s Stance on the Trade Deal</h2>



<p>A few days ago, in response to a question, US President Donald Trump stated that negotiations on a trade deal with India would not proceed until the tariff issue is resolved. ANI asked President Trump about the 50% tariff imposed on India, inquiring if he expected trade talks to accelerate. He responded negatively, stating that talks would not resume until the issue is resolved.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">US Objectives</h2>



<p>The US aims to persuade India to open its agricultural and dairy sectors. However, the Modi government has made it clear that it will not compromise on the interests of its farmers. The influx of US agricultural and dairy products would negatively impact the income of Indian farmers.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">India Prepared to Pay the Price for Farmers&#8217; Interests</h2>



<p>PM Modi stated that India is prepared to go to any lengths to protect the interests of its farmers. India will not compromise on farmers&#8217; welfare, which is the country&#8217;s top priority. He affirmed that India will not compromise the interests of farmers, fishermen, and livestock farmers. Modi added that he is prepared to pay the price to protect the interests of the farmers.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">India-US Trade Volume</h2>



<p>According to the Ministry of Commerce, between April and July 2025, India&#8217;s exports to the US increased by 21.64% to $33.53 billion, while imports rose by 12.33% to $17.41 billion. India and the US aim to increase bilateral trade to $500 billion by 2030. Currently, bilateral trade between the two countries stands at $191 billion.</p>
