Donald Trump falsely claimed Sunday that he did not call for former election rival Hillary Clinton to be jailed, telling Fox News: "I didn`t say `lock her up`." Trump, who is facing sentencing -- and possible prison time -- after becoming the first US president to be convicted of a felony, repeatedly demanded Clinton be put behind bars during their 2016 election battle. The "lock her up" chant was notorious at his rallies during the campaign and for years after, and he stated that he agreed with it or called for her jailing on multiple occasions.

The budget for the fiscal year 2024-25 will be presented in parliament on June 6, and politicians in their pre-budget remarks say the funds of at least six budgets during the ruling party’s tenure in the last 15 years have been laundered abroad. They also claim that all those involved in the laundering operations are pro-government and pro-ruling party, adding the dependence on debt has blighted the economy. The low-income groups with a monthly salary of Tk 10,000 are spending Tk 30,000 due to the increase in the price of commodities.

The National Board of Revenue (NBR) will have to collect much more revenue than the current fiscal year to meet the revenue collection target that the government is going to fix in the next fiscal year`s budget.

In such a situation, economists fear it is not possible to achieve the target.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused China on Sunday (2 June) of helping Russia to disrupt an upcoming Swiss-organized peace conference on the war in Ukraine. Speaking at Asia’s premier security conference, Zelenskyy said that China is pressuring other countries and their leaders not to attend the upcoming talks. He did not say which ones. “Russia, using Chinese influence in the region, using Chinese diplomats also, does everything to disrupt the peace summit,” he said at a news conference at the Shangri-La defense forum. “Regrettably this is unfortunate that such a big independent powerful country as China is an instrument in the hands of (Russian leader Vladimir) Putin.”

Throughout its grinding seven-month war against Hamas, Israel has pledged to investigate a series of deadly events in which its military forces are suspected of wrongdoing. The commitment comes in the face of mounting claims from human rights groups and the International Criminal Court `s chief prosecutor that the country`s leaders are committing war crimes in Hamas-ruled Gaza. In one of the highest-profile cases, an attack on a World Central Kitchen convoy that killed five foreign aid workers, the Israeli army promptly published its findings, acknowledged misconduct by its forces and dismissed two soldiers.

Thousands of miles away, Russian President Vladimir Putin was probably "rubbing his hands with glee," said Fiona Hill, a former senior White House national security adviser to three U.S. presidents, including Trump.
