How Bangladesh's next pesident will be elected

The resignation of President Mohammad Shahabuddin on July 24 due to health reasons has triggered a significant constitutional process in Bangladesh. Under Article 50(3) of the Constitution, the President submitted his resignation to the Speaker of the Jatiya Sangsad (Parliament).

Supreme Court cases to be settled outside court as legal aid ready

In Bangladesh, justice often means years of waiting. The same reality exists even at the country’s highest court. The long corridors of the Supreme Court have witnessed countless sighs of litigants, repeated hearing dates, legal fees, and the exhausting journeys of people travelling from districts to the capital. For many, pursuing a case eventually costs more than the amount of money involved in the dispute itself.

Stopping Spain easy in theory; But in reality, it's like a maze

The World Cup final is not just a battle between two teams, but also a clash of two football philosophies. On the one hand, European strategy, on the other hand, Latin American creativity. However, even between these two trends, Spain and Argentina have one big similarity—both teams love to control the ball and set the rhythm of the match. Therefore, there is a lot of discussion about the tactical battle surrounding the final to be held in New Jersey on July 20 (1 am Bangladesh time).

Can the Albiceleste outlast the Spanish Armada?

The sky over world football has room for only one more storm. On one side stands defending champion Argentina, built on nerve, improvisation and the genius of Lionel Messi. On the other stands European champion Spain, an assembly line of possession football that has barely allowed opponents to breathe. Sunday's final at New York New Jersey Stadium is no ordinary title match — it is a collision of two footballing philosophies chasing the same trophy.

Yet one of the greatest challenges facing Bangladesh's judiciary for many years has been the ever-growing backlog of pending cases. While new cases are being filed at a rapid pace, the rate of disposal has failed to keep up in many instances. As a result, the number of pending cases has now reached nearly 4.64 million, affecting not only justice seekers but also the overall efficiency of the country's judicial system.

Did England down on luck by being overly defensive after the goal?

Sometimes in football, a single decision can change the entire history. England's story against Argentina in the 2026 World Cup semi-final is similar. After Anthony Gordon's goal in the 55th minute, it seemed that the English dream of reaching the World Cup final for the second time after 1966 was going to come true. But in the end, that dream was shattered by the strategy they had chosen. The decision to cling to over-defense instead of attack seemed to be England's biggest enemy.
