Sharif Osman Hadi is still alive despite rumors circulating online. His organization, Inqilab Moncho, released a statement clarifying that their spokesperson remains in critical condition but has not died. They called the reports of his death false.
The update notes he is undergoing treatment at Singapore General Hospital. His family has asked the public to pray for his full recovery and a return to health. This official word followed a similar post from another verified source earlier the same evening.
The Bangladeshi Armed Forces just set a global record. They coordinated a mass parachute jump with fifty-four skydivers, each carrying a national flag to mark fifty-four years of independence. The event happened at the parade ground near the old Tejgaon Airport in Dhaka.
Chief Adviser Professor Dr Muhammad Yunus was there to see it. The display also included a joint flypast with Army, Navy, and Air Force aircraft performing maneuvers overhead.
A huge crowd gathered at the old airport to watch the Victory Day air show, forming long lines at the Agargaon entrance gates for security screening. Members of the Army, Air Force, and Border Guard Bangladesh were on site to manage security for the event.
President Lula of Brazil issued an ultimatum over the long-stalled trade deal between the EU and the Mercosur bloc. He stated flatly that if the pact is not signed on Saturday in Foz de Iguacu, it will not happen during his presidency.
Lula pointed the finger at Italy and France, blaming internal political issues in those countries for holding up an agreement twenty-six years in the making. He argued Brazil and its partners had already conceded everything reasonable and called the deal more beneficial for Europe. His warning came during a cabinet meeting, where he stressed they had worked to finalize terms and counter global trends against multilateral trade.
He plans to attend the meeting, hoping for a positive outcome, but promised...
Oporajeyo put up a decent score against Adommo in that Victory Day match at Mirpur. They got asked to bat first and managed to put up a total of 166 for 9.
Their start was rough, with opener Parvez Emon getting bounced out for a duck by Shoriful Islam. Jishan turned things around with a quick 44 off just 22 balls. Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto chipped in with a steady 30, and Jaker Ali added a late burst of 23 runs to get them to that total.
The Adommo bowlers had mixed results. Shoriful Islam was the standout, taking three wickets for 28 runs. Mohammad Saifuddin also grabbed three, but he got hit around for 41 runs in his four overs.
The Bangladesh Jewellers' Association, known as BAJUS, has a new leadership structure. Sayem Sobhan Anvir, the outgoing president, has been appointed as the group's Chief Adviser. Enamul Haque Khan Dolon, who owns Diamond and Divas, was elected president again for another term.
This all happened at the BAJUS office in Eskaton, Dhaka. After the new board was sworn in, they held their first meeting and decided to appoint Anvir. They also decided to put all other former presidents into an Advisory Council.
Senior Vice President Ranjit Ghosh and other vice presidents, like Iqbal Hossain Chowdhury Jewel, Azad Ahmed, and Avi Roy, all spoke at the meeting following the transition of power.
Apple just dropped another AI flex. Their researchers built a model named SHARP that can spin a single 2D photo into a full 3D scene in under a second. This thing runs on a standard GPU, spitting out a photorealistic result from one picture by guessing what the nearby viewpoints would look like.
The model uses a technique called 3D Gaussian Splatting, which normally needs a bunch of images from different angles to build a scene from millions of tiny colored blobs. SHARP bypasses that need, predicting depth and color from a solitary image to create a navigable, metric scale environment you can render in real time.
It is another sign of Apple pouring gas on its AI development, pushing speed and practicality. The whole point is making...
A federal judge just told T-Mobile to cut it out with the data scraping. Judge Karen Gren Scholer issued a restraining order against them for lifting customer info from behind AT&T’s login screens. T-Mobile was using that stolen data to run its “Easy Switch” comparison tool. AT&T sued last month, arguing T-Mobile used sketchy methods to bypass security and grab private customer details from password-protected pages.
The judge agreed AT&T would likely suffer harm without the order, noting T-Mobile would probably keep doing it. That comparison tool asks AT&T customers for their login info, then uses a bot to quietly pull their data for a T-Mobile plan comparison. The whole thing is a wild corporate heist attempt, born from the brutal...
Playground Games and Turn10 basically put Forza Motorsport on life support. They announced Forza Horizon 6, set in Japan, coming to Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC in 2026. This move kills any new content for the other title, Motorsport.
The studios buried this in a long website post, saying their team needs to focus on Horizon 6. That means no more new cars, tracks, or feature updates for Motorsport. The servers and online events will keep running, and they will recycle old tours and reward cars for players who missed them.
This leaves the simulation-focused Motorsport crowd hanging while everyone waits for the arcade-style Horizon 6. A rumor suggests a launch in the first half of 2026, so the studios have all that time to hopefully not...
United States video game spending hit a historic low for November despite the Black Friday period. Total consumer spending across hardware, content, and accessories fell four percent year over year to 5.9 billion dollars. Hardware sales were particularly dismal, dropping twenty-seven percent to their second-lowest November total in two decades.
Console unit sales collapsed to 1.6 million, a figure not seen since 1995. The Xbox Series X/S fell seventy percent, PlayStation five dropped forty percent, and even the new Nintendo Switch 2 could not prevent a ten percent decline for that platform. Accessories and physical game sales also posted double-digit decreases.
Analysts point to soaring prices for both essentials and gaming gear as...
