Bangladesh's interim government chief, Professor Muhammad Yunus, is contemplating resignation due to the inability of political parties to find common ground, according to Nhid Islam, leader of the student-led National Citizen Party (NCP). Islam reported that Yunus expressed concerns about his capacity to govern effectively under the current political climate, stating, "I won't be able to work unless the political parties can reach a common ground." Despite urging Yunus to remain steadfast for the nation's future, Islam acknowledged that there would be little point in his continued leadership if he could not fulfill his role. Yunus's government has faced significant challenges, particularly related to the military's involvement in the political upheaval that led to his appointment following the ousting of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's regime. The military's role has been pivotal in shaping the current political landscape, including facilitating Hasina's exit. 
Published: May 23 2025, 6 ameznews.inWilliam Buckley, a decorated CIA officer, endured 444 days of captivity, torture, and isolation at the hands of Hezbollah during Lebanon's civil war in 1984. A Vietnam War veteran with over 30 years of experience, Buckley was tasked with rebuilding the CIA's network in Beirut following a deadly embassy bombing. On March 16, 1984, he was kidnapped by militants while heading to work, despite warnings to travel with protection. His brutal captivity included beatings, drug-induced interrogations, and extreme isolation, with no humanitarian oversight.

After Hezbollah announced his death, they released a photo of his body along with sensitive CIA documents. Buckley’s legacy influenced CIA operations in hostile environments and contributed to the Iran-Contra affair.
Published: May 23 2025, 1 pmeznews.inThe United States has faced a significant downgrade in its credit rating, losing its 'AAA' status due to persistent governance issues and rising debt levels. The first strike came in August 2011 when S&P Global downgraded the US to 'AA+' after citing weakened policymaking. Fitch followed suit in August 2023, lowering the rating to 'AA' amid concerns over fiscal governance. The final blow occurred in May 2025 when Moody's, which had maintained the 'AAA' rating since 1917, downgraded the US to 'AA1' due to an escalating federal deficit projected to reach 9% of GDP by 2035. The US debt now stands at a staggering $36 trillion, with annual borrowings exacerbated by a budget deficit. While the White House criticized the downgrades as politically motivated, experts warn that without significant revenue increases or spending cuts, the risk of default remains a looming threat for the world's largest economy.
