Barcelona, already Copa del Rey champions, have the chance to complete a domestic double with the league title. A win in El Clásico would stretch their lead to seven points, a gap that would be nearly impossible to close in the final three games. On the other hand, if Real Madrid win, the gap would narrow to a single point—setting up a nail-biting finish to the season.
The Olympic Games are a magical spectacle of five interlocked rings—an enchanting four-letter word that draws humanity like a magnet. The Olympics are a celebration of life itself, one of the greatest legacies of Greek civilization. They represent the harmony of tradition and modernity. From its inception, the modern Olympic movement declared that it would embrace beauty without discrimination—rejecting inequality, gender bias, and racial division. The philosophy of the Olympics champions human dignity and the triumph of humanity.

Florence Nightingale, the pioneer of modern nursing, was born on May 12, 1820. In her honor, International Nurses Day has been observed since 1965. This year’s theme was: “Our Nurses Our Future: The Economic Power of Care.” On this occasion, various programmes were organised by public and private hospitals and nursing associations. However, it is deeply unfortunate that the day also revealed a troubling reality: 96 percent of nurses in Bangladesh are working for low wages.
The biggest concern about the war that has been going on between Pakistan and India since May 7 is that there is no strong mediation or de-escalation initiative from the international level so far. China, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Iran have offered to mediate. Iranian Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi has already visited the two countries. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is also in telephone contact with both countries. Still, the initiative to calm the situation through mediation between the two nuclear-armed countries does not seem to be enough.
The Awami League, the party that led Bangladesh’s Liberation War, has been ousted from power 53 years after independence through a mass uprising—an event with at least twenty contributing factors. While conspiracy theories and accusations of foreign interference continue to circulate, there is no denying that in recent years the Awami League became increasingly disconnected from the people due to rampant corruption, partisan favoritism, and nepotism.
Dr. Muhammad Yunus, the Chief Adviser of the caretaker government, has placed excessive emphasis on reform. He clearly stated, “Not flimsy reform, not superficial reform, but fundamental reform. We will do it in such a way that no one will be able to undo it.” He also remarked, “My only concern is reform. Debate all you want about what the reforms will be, but let’s not hold an election without reform… Don't miss this opportunity.” His words are commendable; however, they are not grounded in the realities of the situation. He dreams, but in trying to realize those dreams, he faces disillusionment. His claim that he will make reform irreversible is rooted more in emotion than in practical reality.
In the history of every nation, there comes a time when certain events outshine all others—moments shaped by personalities who alter the course of destiny, inject momentum into national progress, offer new directions, and inspire deep introspection. One such figure in Bangladesh's political landscape is Begum Khaleda Zia, the uncompromising leader and Chairperson of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), who has long been a symbol of the country’s sovereignty and independence.
If it has taken 54 years for a nation to descend into decay, how can we expect it to be transformed in just one year? If the people of Bangladesh truly wish to become free from corruption, honest, educated, just, and creative, can that really happen within a single year? The truth is—one cannot extinguish the fire of 54 years of corruption in a single year and expect good outcomes.
Under the leadership of Dr. Muhammad Yunus, the primary task of the interim government is to steer the country back to a truly democratic system through proper democratic procedures. The expectation and aspiration of the people is to be able to elect a government of their choice through the exercise of their voting rights. There is no room for deception in this process. The recent mass movement began over the demand for reforming the quota system in government jobs, but it eventually evolved into a movement for toppling the government. At the heart of the movement lies one core demand: democracy, democracy, and democracy.
The first District Commissioners (DC) conference of the interim government holds significant importance in the current administrative context. This conference will involve discussions between the DCs and various ministries, where important directions will be given. In light of the changed political scenario, special policy decisions and administrative directions are expected to emerge from this conference.

The budget is approaching. For planning the income, expenditure, and overall economic direction of the upcoming fiscal year, sectors like banking, investment, capital markets, and revenue are crucial. How supportive are the current economic indicators for the upcoming budget? What role do international trade policies play? And how can tax policy help attract investment? These topics were discussed by Dr M Masrur Reaz, chairman of the research organisation Policy Exchange Bangladesh, in an interview with Views Bangladesh special correspondent Saleya Sultana.

The advancement of AI technology has revolutionized every aspect of our lives. However, alongside this progress, an invisible crisis is also unfolding—the line between truth and falsehood is becoming increasingly blurred. We now live in a reality where what we see, hear, or even receive from trusted sources can no longer be taken at face value. AI has made it possible to present lies as truth, and even distort the truth so convincingly that it creates dangerous confusion.

The Milky Way is one of the hundreds of thousands of galaxies in the Laniakea Supercluster. A poet of the earth, the third planet orbiting a small star of the Milky way, the sun, gazes at the clear night sky and silently wonders:
On 15 August 1947, two nations were born—Hindu-majority India and Muslim-majority Pakistan. The goal was to establish peace and harmony in both regions. However, the partition of the subcontinent resulted in unprecedented bloodshed, claiming over a million lives and displacing around 15 million people. Instead of peace, both nations witnessed escalating unrest—communal riots, religious fanaticism, and extremism reached horrifying new levels. This legacy of discord continues today, most recently seen in ongoing conflicts between the two countries over Kashmir.
