Loni Anderson, the beloved American actress best known for her role as the glamorous receptionist Jennifer Marlowe on the classic sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati, passed away on Sunday at the age of 79. The news was confirmed by the Associated Press, with her publicist, Cheryl J. Kagan, stating that Anderson died in a Los Angeles hospital following a prolonged illness. In a heartfelt statement, her family expressed their sorrow: “We are heartbroken to announce the passing of our dear wife, mother and grandmother.” Anderson’s life, both on and off the screen, captivated fans for decades. Her personal journey included four marriages, each marking significant chapters in her life. Her first marriage to Bruce Hasselberg lasted from 1964 to 1966, followed by a union with actor Ross Bickell from 1974 to 1981. However, it was her third marriage, to Hollywood star Burt Reynolds, that attracted the most public attention. Married from 1988 to 1994, their relationship ended on a sour note, with Anderson alleging domestic abuse and inconsistent child support payments. In 2008, Anderson found lasting companionship with Bob Flick, a founding member of the folk music group The Brothers Four. The couple remained together until her passing.

Bangladesh Tribunal Opens Crimes Against Humanity Trial Against Ousted PM Hasina | N18G

Bangladesh’s International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) has begun the in absentia trial of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina for crimes against humanity linked to the violent suppression of 2024’s student-led protests. Prosecutors labelled Hasina the “nucleus of all crimes” and indicted her alongside former home minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal and ex-IGP Chowdhury Abdullah Al Mamun. The charges centre on state-sanctioned killings and torture during the Students Against Discrimination (SAD) movement that ousted Hasina on August 5, 2024. Hasina fled to India, which has yet to respond to an extradition request. A UN report cited 1,400 protest-related deaths during the crackdown.

How Trump’s Expanding Tariffs Are Beginning to Hit Americans’ Wallets?

U.S. businesses that initially absorbed tariff costs during Trump’s trade war can no longer shield consumers, leading to rising prices on everyday goods. Companies like Procter & Gamble and Mohawk Industries are hiking prices, citing tariffs as the key reason. Early stockpiling and profit margin cuts had delayed the impact, but inflationary pressures are mounting. Small businesses are also raising prices, especially with steeper Brazil tariffs. Economists warn consumers will ultimately bear the brunt if tariffs persist, with inflation risks growing.

The fragile ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia is hanging by a thread. Despite a Malaysia-brokered deal backed by the U.S. and China, tensions remain high.

Equities retreat as Powell dampens Fed Sept cut hopes | N18G

U.S. stocks closed well off earlier highs after a choppy session on Wednesday (July 30), as Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell chilled expectations the central bank might be poised to cut rates at its September meeting. In keeping rates unchanged, as was widely expected, the central bank said "the unemployment rate remains low, and labor market conditions remain solid. Inflation remains somewhat elevated," in a split decision that saw two governors dissent. Stocks were modestly higher before the Fed statement as investors assessed the first reading of second-quarter economic growth, which was stronger than expected, but underlying details indicated an economy that was likely losing strength.

Trump Pushes 10-Day Deadline on Russia, Oil Sanctions May Hit India and China | N18G

U.S. President Donald Trump has shortened Moscow's timeline from 50 days to just 10 to show progress on ending the war in Ukraine. If Russia fails to comply, Washington will impose fresh tariffs and sanctions. This sharp ultimatum is sending ripples across global energy markets. Russia exports over 7 million barrels of crude and refined fuels daily. Any curbs could trigger price surges, affect supply chains, and escalate global tensions. India and China, major buyers of Russian oil, are now in Washington’s crosshairs as the U.S. warns of secondary sanctions. Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev slammed Trump's approach, calling it reckless. Meanwhile, OPEC+ producers might step in, but analysts warn even their spare capacity may not be enough to cushion the blow. Watch Shivani Singh's report for a full breakdown of what Trump’s 10-day deadline could mean for markets, diplomacy, and global energy flows.

Trump says he 'never had the privilege' of visiting Jeffrey Epstein's island | N18G

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday (July 28) he "never had the privilege" of visiting Jeffrey Epstein's island, saying he turned down an invitation from the convicted sex offender in what the president called a moment of good judgment. Trump's remarks were his latest effort to distance himself from the political furor over his administration's handling of files related to Epstein's case and renewed questions over his past relationship with the disgraced financier, who died by suicide in a New York jail in 2019. Epstein owned a private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands where he entertained prominent people from politics, business and entertainment. Prosecutors have alleged he used the compound to conceal the sex trafficking and abuse of under-age victims. Trump, who socialized with Epstein in the 1990s and early 2000s, also offered new insight into why their relationship ended. The president said he cut ties after Epstein attempted to recruit staff who worked for Trump. Last week, White House communications director Steven Cheung said Trump had cut ties with Epstein because he regarded him as a "creep."

Jeju Air Crash: Update Reveals One Engine Was Still Working | Investigators Raise Fresh Questions

An investigation update into the Jeju Air crash that killed 179 people reveals the right engine was still producing enough thrust after a bird strike—raising questions about why the less-damaged left engine was shut down instead. The Boeing 737-800 belly-landed at Muan Airport in December without landing gear and exploded into flames. South Korean investigators say both engines suffered bird damage but confirm the right engine remained operational. Families are questioning the decision-making and infrastructure, including a concrete embankment that worsened the death toll. The final report is due next June.

A Year After Hasina’s Fall, Bangladesh Grapples With Chaos and Delay

One year after Sheikh Hasina’s ouster in a student-led uprising, Bangladesh remains politically unstable under interim leader Muhammad Yunus. Promising reforms and democratic revival, Yunus has delayed elections, citing the need for constitutional and institutional changes. The return of Jamaat-e-Islami and rise of Islamist factions have deepened political fragmentation and religious polarisation. Minority groups, especially Hindus, report rising attacks, while opposition parties accuse the government of repression. Yunus has shifted foreign policy towards China, though Western support remains. However, U.S. aid was suspended under President Donald Trump, complicating recovery efforts. The path to democracy remains uncertain amid growing unrest and division.

Despite their disagreement, Powell assured there were no further expected overruns and said the Fed had reserves if needed. When asked what he would do in such a situation, Trump said he would usually fire the project manager.

Typhoon Wipha Hits Hong Kong, South China; Rain, Wind And Chaos All Over | N18G

On July 20, Typhoon Wipha brought heavy rain and strong winds to Hong Kong before making landfall in Taishan, Guangdong province, China. The storm caused fallen trees, damaged scaffolding, and forced over 200 people to seek refuge in temporary shelters.

Trump Claims U.S. Airstrikes Crippled Iran’s Nuclear Sites Amid Conflicting Intelligence Reports

U.S. President Donald Trump claimed that American airstrikes in June completely destroyed three of Iran’s key nuclear facilities—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. While the Pentagon backed this assertion, intelligence leaks suggest only Fordow was heavily damaged, with Natanz and Isfahan largely intact. The Defence Intelligence Agency expressed low confidence in the long-term impact, saying the strikes may have delayed Iran’s programme by a few months. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian reaffirmed Tehran’s right to peaceful nuclear development. Amid regional tensions and stalled U.S.–Iran diplomacy, Iran suspended cooperation with the IAEA, raising concerns over transparency and the fate of future negotiations.

Syria: Forces Surround Sweida, Stop Bedouin Tribesmen From Entering Al-Mazra'a | N18G

Calm returned to the Syrian city of Sweida on Sunday after days of violent clashes between Druze and Bedouin fighters. Internal security forces blocked armed Bedouins from entering Al-Mazra'a village, as a tribesman demanded Druze fighters surrender arms and hand over casualties by 1 p.m. The fighting began last week, prompting Damascus to deploy troops, who were later accused of abuses against Druze communities and targeted by Israeli strikes. A Wednesday truce led to their withdrawal. However, a new ceasefire announced Saturday by the Syrian presidency collapsed quickly, exposing the difficulties interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa faces in stabilising the nation.

‘I’m afraid of losing the baby’ - Pregnant Gaza mother battles war and hunger | N18G

Amid the ongoing war in Gaza, 34-year-old Fatima Arfa, who is six months pregnant and anaemic due to severe malnutrition, fears for her unborn child’s life. Forced to flee her home in northern Gaza, she now lives in a makeshift tent with her husband and five children, facing harsh heat and limited access to healthcare. Doctors say she urgently needs a blood transfusion to survive the pregnancy. According to the UN, 55,000 pregnant women in Gaza are now at risk of miscarriage, stillbirth, and undernourished newborns due to extreme food shortages. Malnutrition is widespread, with nearly 17,000 pregnant and breastfeeding women expected to require urgent care. Israel lifted an 11-week aid blockade in May 2025, but supplies remain scarce, further straining humanitarian efforts. The Gaza conflict, now nearing its second year, has displaced nearly the entire population and left millions facing hunger and fear.

Tariffs, Ties and Tensions: Can India Navigate the US-Russia Power Play?

India cannot ignore the U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat of secondary tariffs over its oil trade with Russia, but experts argue it may be more political posturing than serious policy. Trump’s record of shifting positions and his ongoing trade talks with China suggest limited room for drastic moves. For India, caving to U.S. pressure could hurt its energy security, raise oil prices, and strain strategic ties with Russia. Experts warn such pressure undermines trust and risks damaging broader trade talks. Ultimately, it could backfire, pushing BRICS nations closer together and weakening Western influence, as India balances autonomy with global geopolitical realities.

Trump Calls Epstein Case Pretty Boring' As MAGA Base Erupts Over Memo

President Donald Trump dismissed renewed interest in the Jeffrey Epstein case as “pretty boring stuff,” expressing confusion over why his supporters remain focused on it. Speaking in Pennsylvania, Trump referenced a recent DOJ and FBI memo confirming Epstein died by suicide and that no client list exists. Despite this, many in the MAGA movement remain skeptical, fueling conspiracy theories and demanding transparency. Anger has also been directed at Attorney General Pam Bondi, who previously suggested a client list was under review but later clarified her remarks. Trump defended Bondi but said she should release credible information. Tensions rose further after Elon Musk alleged Trump’s name appeared in unreleased Epstein files—an accusation he later deleted. Epstein, who had ties to powerful elites including Trump, Clinton, and Prince Andrew, was accused of trafficking underage girls. His death in 2019 continues to spark speculation, with many believing he was silenced to protect influential figures.

Speaking alongside NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte at the White House, Trump expressed frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin, claiming he had nearly secured a deal multiple times. He confirmed a massive U.S. arms package for Ukraine, including Patriot systems, worth billions. Rutte said Ukraine would receive large quantities of air defence weapons and ammunition.

Russian government spokesman Dmitry Peskov accused the U.S. of continuously fueling the conflict and warned that the ongoing delivery of arms risks further destabilising the region. Peskov emphasized that U.S. weapons have been flowing into Ukraine since the beginning of the war and are continuing now. Russia also reiterated that it is ready for another round of peace talks with Ukraine but claimed that Kyiv has yet to propose a date. Peskov said, “It is obvious that Kyiv is in no hurry.”
