Trump signs Russia sanctions law, waives 100% duties on oil buyers — India breathes easy

President Donald Trump has signed the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026 into law, giving Washington sweeping new powers including tariffs of up to 100% on the biggest buyers of Russian oil and gas. In the executive order implementing it, however, he immediately waived those duties, sparing India and China — the top two importers of Russian crude — an immediate tariff hit. New Delhi said it remains in touch with Washington and will act to protect its trade and energy interests. Source: The Times of India (via NewsPoint)

A shadier Hyderabad is a cooler Hyderabad

Every summer the city feels a little hotter, and every summer we are surprised by it. The old neighbourhoods knew the answer: a neem outside every gate, a peepal at every corner, shade you could walk under from one street to the next.

Trees are the cheapest air-conditioners a city can buy, and they ask for nothing but water and time. Before the next heatwave arrives, the kindest civic act is also the simplest — plant one, and make sure it lives.
