India's Adani Group has reduced power supply to Bangladesh due to non-payment of outstanding bills. Adani has reduced power supply by another 200 megawatts from Friday night due to non-payment of more than 800 million dollars in arrears from Bangladesh.

This information was published in a report by the news agency Reuters on Friday (November 8).

The report said that India's Adani Group is trying to collect 800 million dollars or Tk. 10,000 crore owed by Bangladesh. Due to this, power supply has been reduced by another 200 megawatts since last Friday night. Adani reduced power supply to Bangladesh by 50 percent at the end of last month. Now they have reduced it by another 10 percent.

Earlier, in early August, the supply to Dhaka from the 1,600 megawatt Godda plant in the eastern Indian state of Jharkhand was reduced from 1,400 to 1,500 megawatts to 700 to 750 megawatts. According to an official of the Power Grid Company of Bangladesh and the Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB), the supply was further reduced to about 520 megawatts on Thursday.

Last week, the Power Development Board (PDB) paid them one crore dollars. Even then, Adani officials told BPDB that power generation had decreased due to the coal shortage in Jharkhand.

The BPDB said that Adani had reduced power supply even though the issue of payment of dues was resolved by November 7.

Meanwhile, Bangladesh's power and energy adviser Muhammad Fauzul Kabir Khan told Reuters, "We are paying the dues gradually. If someone stops the supply, we will take alternative measures. We will not let any power supplier hold us hostage."

Republican candidate Donald Trump has been re-elected as president of the United States after defeating Kamala Harris in the 47th presidential election.

Former President Joe Biden has already called on Trump to take power.

However, there is a lot of talk about whether Trump will keep the same people in his administration or reshuffle them. However, it is said that this administration will be a combination of old and new. Where Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Suzie Wiles, Elon Musk, Mike Pompeo, Richard Grenell, Caroline Levitt, Tom Homan can be seen.

London-based news agency BBC reported this information in a report on Friday (November 8).

The report said that many of those who served under him in his first term are not planning to return. However, there are rumors that a handful of Mr. Trump's loyalists will return during his second term.

Meanwhile, it is speculated that many of the new people who have surrounded Donald Trump in recent times may be in his cabinet. They can be seen as White House staff and also playing roles in various important government positions.

However, after being elected as President, Donald Trump has already announced the name of Susan Summer Wiles as the White House Chief of Staff. She is the first woman to serve as the White House Chief of Staff.

In addition, among others, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is the nephew of former US President John F. Kennedy. He initially ran for the Democratic nomination but later supported Trump.

Elon Musk, the head of Tesla and SpaceX and owner of social media platform X (formerly Twitter), officially registered as a Republican ahead of the 2022 midterm elections. Since then, he has been seen speaking out on multiple issues, including illegal immigration and transgender rights. He is also seen in the Trump administration.

Mike Pompeo, a former Kansas congressman who served as the director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and later as Donald Trump's first US secretary of state, is also among the old-timers.

Among the other three, Carolyn Levitt has been seen as an assistant press secretary in the White House press office before serving as national press secretary for Trump's 2024 campaign. Levitt is rumored to be the White House press secretary.

Tom Homan served as acting director of US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during the first Trump administration.

Richard Grenell has served as the Trump administration's ambassador to Germany, special envoy to the Balkans and acting director of national intelligence. Mr. Grenell was also closely involved in the efforts to overturn Donald Trump's defeat in the 2020 election in the swing state of Nevada.

The Lebanese Ministry of Public Health said that 53 people have been killed and 161 injured in Israeli attacks across the country in the past 24 hours.

Meanwhile, Netanyahu's forces have continued to attack various important installations across Lebanon. In addition to important installations and mosques, they are also carrying out one after another attack on historical sites.

On Wednesday local time, Israel attacked a historical site from the Roman Empire in Baalbek, known as the archaeological city of Lebanon. The entire area was severely damaged. One historical site was destroyed.

A video released on Thursday showed the historic Al-Manshia building being demolished. Authorities said the damaged building belonged to the Ottoman Empire. They said that while the damage to the exterior was known, the extent of the damage inside the building would be known after an investigation.

The Israeli army has been targeting this historic city for the past few weeks. More than 3,000 Lebanese citizens have now lost their lives in the Lebanon-Israel war that has been going on for more than a year.

Republican candidate Donald Trump has been elected the 47th president of the United States. Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated Trump a day after the official results were announced.

According to Reuters, Putin spoke publicly about Trump after his victory at an event in the Russian city of Sochi on Thursday (November 7) local time. He even said he was ready to sit with Trump.

Putin said, "In my opinion, he (Trump) behaved in a very correct way, with courage, like a real man. I take this opportunity to congratulate him on winning the election."

The Russian president said that Trump's comments on Ukraine during the US presidential election campaign and his statements about restoring relations with Russia are important.

Earlier during the election campaign, Trump said that if he was elected president, he would restore peace to Ukraine within 24 hours. However, he did not give any details on how he would end Europe's longest war since World War II.

Meanwhile, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday that Russia is carefully monitoring the US presidential election data. There is no possibility of making a formal assessment until we see concrete statements and initiatives. Putin congratulated Trump just a day later.
