World leaders caught discussing Trump
Trump spoke to reporters for more than two hours in total on Tuesday, which appeared to astonish Trudeau."He was late because he takes a 40-minute press conference at the top," Trudeau says to a small group that includes Macron and the British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, among others. Trudeau does not mention Trump by name during the exchange, at which he appears to be discussing the day's bilateral meetings."You just watch his team's jaws drop to the floor," Trudeau says at another point. Macron is also seen participating animatedly in the conversation, but his comments cannot be heard. Johnson is seen smiling. None of the world leaders seem to realise the conversation is being recorded.Reacting to the video on Wednesday, Trump called Trudeau "two-faced". "Well, he's two-faced," the President said when asked about the video. After a long pause, he added, "He's a nice guy. I find him to be a very nice guy."Trump, who was taking questions from reporters ahead of a meeting with Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany, attributed Trudeau's frustration to the American leader's pressure campaign to increase Canada's military spending to 2 per cent of its economic output."He should be paying more than he's paying," Trump said. "I called him out on that, and I'm sure he wasn't happy about it, but that's the way it is."Trump was put on the defensive on Tuesday by Macron, who during a tense 45-minute appearance aggressively challenged the American President's vision for Nato and his handling of a military conflict involving Turkey. Trudeau participated in a more genial meeting with Trump later on Tuesday.Trump has long bridled at the idea of other world leaders poking fun at the US. "The world is laughing at us," he said frequently during his 2016 presidential campaign, criticising the leadership of President Barack Obama.In June 2017, when he announced that the US would withdraw from the Paris climate agreement, Trump said that "we don't want other leaders and other countries laughing at us any more. And they won't be. They won't be".In 2018, after laughter broke out at the UN General Assembly when Trump claimed his administration had "accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country", the President insisted that he was not the target.

Juanan fires Bengaluru FC to the top of ISL
The teams missed chances to score as Jerry Mawihmingthanga shot wide from a corner and Sunil Chhetri failed to hit the target from an Udanta Singh cross. With the contest heating up, centre-back Juanan showcased his centre-forward skills to give Bengaluru the lead. Nishu Kumar's lob into the box was flicked into the defender's path by Erik Paartalu before the Spaniard outfoxed Carlos Delgado to send a scuffed shot that went in off the post. The Blues had the chance to double their lead just before the break when Chhetri took advantage of a misplaced pass and charged at the Odisha defence. He spotted Udanta's run to his right and set him up for a shot, but the winger tried to return the favour and failed to find his teammate. Odisha stepped up their efforts and chased an equaliser after the break. In the 55th minute, Marcos Tebar's header forced a fantastic reflex save off Gurpreet. The ball fell at Diagne's feet, but the Bengaluru custodian pulled off another good save to deny the defender from close-range. Minutes later, Udanta found Chhetri in the centre whose shot was blocked by Delgado. The rebound was hit well by Dimas but Arshdeep Singh got his body behind the shot to save. The goalkeepers had a busy night in between the sticks. Gurpreet was vigilant in goal and kept out strikes from Marcos Tebar and Xisco to keep his team in the lead as the clock ticked towards the final whistle. At the other end, Bengaluru threatened through set-pieces and crosses from wide areas. Arshdeep did well to push behind Paartalu's powerful volley off Dimas' delivery from a corner-kick. Bengaluru, who were denied a second goal by the post from a good Dimas free-kick, looked to be the fitter team in the final minutes as they stood firm and defended well to prevent a late show.

'Reviving two-nation theory': Asaduddin Owaisi on Citizenship Bill
Opposition parties, including Congress among others, have opposed the Bill arguing that the Constitution does not permit granting of citizenship on the basis of religion. 'This law also violates Article 14 and 21 because you are giving citizenship on the basis of religion which contravenes both the Articles. If we pass this law then it will be a disrespect towards Mahatma Gandhi and Ambedkar, the architect of the Constitution,' the Hyderabad MP said. The Bill is aimed at providing citizenship to six communities— Hindus, Christians, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists and Parsis. Notably, the Muslims find themselves excluded from the list. States in the northeast where the Inner-line-Permit (ILP) is applicable — Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram and Nagaland and regions under the Sixth Schedules — will be kept out of the CAB. Reacting to this exception, Owaisi said: 'If media reports are correct that Northeast states will be exempted from proposed Citizenship (Amendment) Bill (CAB) law then it in itself is a great violation of Article 14 which is a fundamental right. You can't have 2 laws on citizenship in the country.' On Tuesday, defence minister Rajnath Singh, in an address to BJP parliamentarians, had said the bill will be placed before the House soon. The minister dismissed the Opposition's objections over the bill and said the BJP had always worked to unite the country. 'If religious minorities are being persecuted in those countries, it is our duty to deliver justice to them. It is not linked to any religion,' Singh said.

Pillars depicting ancient history erected at IIT Ropar
It was executed in-house by the Stone Oasis team with the assistance of several Jaipur-based craftsmen and artisans and architects and art historians. The construction took over a year to complete. It is one of the largest works employing bas relief carvings other than temples. It is spread over 1,600 metres and consists of four 12 metre (41 feet) high pillars with 16 facades in total. Each facade carries bas relief carvings depicting a unique story built around central figures unearthed from the Indus Valley Civilisation such as the figure of the iconic dancing girl, Pashupati, likely the earliest depiction of Hindu god Shiva. These pillars have metallic molecular structure on top of them, highlighting the fusion of contemporary and ancient knowledge. 'Our initial plan for the pillars was mosaic work with motifs from the Indus Valley Civilisation. However, there was a proposal to explore stone as an alternative by the Stone Oasis Company. We decided that stone carving was more apt for the location as it reflects the timelessness of the craft of the people from the earliest civilisation known to man. I think the juxtaposition of the carved pillar with the molecular forms on top gives an impression that we are building modern science on the base of a great civilisation. This could possibly be the largest work of art undertaken in a university campus,' said IIT Ropar director, Sarit Kumar Das.

Court peon's daughter set to be judge in Bihar
Then only I promised myself that one day I would be the judge.' Though it was not easy to continue the studies after the death of my father, but my mother refused to give in to the circumstances and stood like a pillar with me.

She, later joined her school as a computer teacher. When the marriage followed, Archana felt that she would not be able to realise her dream of becoming a judge.

Yes, I had to struggle a lot, she said. 'My husband knew of my dream and he encouraged me to strive for it,' she said. The support from her in-laws rekindled her hopes and she decided to strive to achieve her goal. The circumstances brought her to Pune and she grabbed it with both of her hands and completed LLB. On return to Patna, Archana did LLM from the BMT Law College, Purnia, in 2014. Later, she came to Delhi to attend coaching classes. 'Pursuing the study was never an easy decision, particularly after marriage and bearing a child. But my husband and in-laws always supported me,' said Archana.
