BOSTON (AP) — Two men, including a dual Iranian American citizen, have been arrested on charges that they exported sensitive technology to Iran that was used in a drone attack in Jordan that killed three American troops early this year and injured dozens of other service members, the Justice Department said Monday. The pair were arrested after FBI specialists who analyzed the drone traced the navigation system to an Iranian company operated by one of the defendants, who relied on technology funneled from the U.S. by his alleged co-conspirator, officials said.

Dhaka, November 30: Bangladesh Foreign Affairs Advisor Mohammed Touhid Hossain on Saturday said that the country's relation with India has changed since Former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was forced out of power on August 5 of this year. "After August 5, relations with India have been changed and this is the reality," said Md. Touhid Hossain, Foreign Affairs Advisor (Minister) to the Bangladesh interim government in a seminar at North South University, a private university in Dhaka. Hossain emphasized that Bangladesh have to build a relationship with India "in view of this reality." "It is in view of this reality that we have to build and continue our relationship with India. I believe India will understand how to take forward relations with Bangladesh under the changed circumstances," Hossain said. Bangladeshi Students Step on Indian Flag Painted at Noakhali Science and Technology University Gate, Video Goes Viral . A student-led movement ousted Bangladesh's then Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina, after weeks of protests and clashes that killed over 600 people. Hasina, 76, fled to India on August 5 and an interim government led by Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus was formed. "The previous government (of Bangladesh) tried its best to remove India's concerns. We also had some concerns. Problems are happening because our problems are not being addressed," Touhid said, without elaborating. He further remained optimistic to establish good relationship with India and said that Bangladesh "will not cause harm to anyone." "We would like to be optimistic that we can establish a good relationship so that the interests of both parties are protected. We will not be a cause harm to anyone. We want no one to be cause us harm", Bangladesh Adviser said. The Foreign Affairs Adviser blamed India media for exaggerating and urged Bangladesh media to be objective in providing news on the relations with India. On Friday, India expressed concern over the rise of "extremist rhetoric, increasing incidents of violence and provocation" in Bangladesh. Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said that India has consistently and strongly raised the issue of targeted attacks on Hindus and other minorities with Bangladesh government. While addressing a weekly media briefing, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal urged Bangladesh's interim government to take steps for protection of minorities. ‘Bangladesh Must Protect All Minorities’: India Says Interim Government Must Live up to Its Responsibility of Protecting Hindus and Other Minorities Amid Increasing Violence . On situation of minorities in Bangladesh, Jaiswal said, "India has consistently and strongly raised with the Bangladesh government the threats and targeted attacks on Hindus and other minorities. We made our position very clear as far as the situation of Hindus and minorities in Bangladesh is concerned. The interim government must live up to its responsibility of protecting all minorities. We are concerned about the surge of extremist rhetoric, increasing incidents of violence and provocation. These developments cannot be dismissed only as media exaggerations. We once again call upon Bangladesh to take all steps for the protection of minorities and safeguarding their interests." The situation has been tense in Bangladesh since spiritual preacher Chinmoy Krishna Das was charged with sedition for allegedly hoisting a saffron flag above Bangladesh's national flag in Chittagong on October 25. Following Das arrest, a lawyer was killed during clashes between police and alleged followers of the spiritual guru in the Chattogram Court Building area on November 27.

E very time I put on a skirt, I’m suddenly eight years old again. I’m watching the Nutcracker , my parents having clothed me and my sisters in itchy, matching outfits. Immediately, I’m confronted by a visceral desire to wear trousers. This feeling is not just a shift in personal style, but something more pertinent to the current political climate – so why is it that Gen Z/millennials like me (and the fashion world as a whole) has swayed towards genderless or gender neutral clothing? I don’t feel the need to dress in alignment with men’s expectations of women anymore. I’ve even recently thrown out all of my makeup! But why am I doing it? What does it all mean? I could, in part, chalk this up to my newfound comfort in pursuing more queer versions of expression – that’s certainly one reason for it. But, overwhelmingly, I’ve realised this knee-jerk reaction to skirts and dresses is because they subject me to the male gaze – and I’m just not comfortable with that anymore. Unsurprisingly, it’s worked: the more I’ve strayed from feminine presentation, the less men try to talk to me. Except on Halloween: on that night, I was dressed as Lucky Blue Smith and some guy at the bar still tried his luck – even after I pointed to myself and said, “Me?! Have you seen what I look like?” Some men, it seems, simply don’t take a hint. It’s felt strangely bold – transgressive, even – to dress in “boy clothes ” and embrace alternative haircuts. The upside is: after a lifetime of being chatted up at parties or in bars, I don’t miss it. Since I’ve been dressing for myself – and less for the beauty ideals put on women – I’ve grown used to a lack of male attention. And I like it. It helps that dressing androgynously and embracing a non-binary aesthetic has not only become more accessible, it’s more socially appreciated – even trendy. What originally skated on the edge of the mainstream in the 2010s has now become a widespread form of gender expression. And to me, as a writer who attended fashion weeks at New York, Milan and Paris this yea r , it is clear this is the direction fashion is headed, too. The Berliner noted in a recent Market Research Intellect report there’s to be a projected increase of 10.82 per cent in the unisex fashion market by 2031. People are after a more genderless or unisex appearance via what they wear. It’s not just a phase – it’s a movement. And many big brands are leading the way into more unisex, genderless fashion lines and styling choices. I experienced this first hand while attending the Le Damier de Louis Vuitton Fine Jewellry event at Paris Fashion Week. I chatted briefly with one of the brand representatives and learned that the masion has intentionally gone a unisex route with their latest collection. They’ve catered to more gender-inclusive shapes and designs, in line with fashion’s shifting trajectory. Why, though? Social media trends must play a role – as we see more and more people from a range of gender identities dressing in clothing regardless of who it’s been marketed to. The fast-paced world of Instagram and TikTok creates a consistent reimagination of the ways that certain clothing items are meant to be worn (for example: the influx of people integrating dresses and skirts over trousers or shorts). I witnessed this at NYFW when I attended the Sam Finger show and saw a variety of styling choices and unexpected ways of showcasing the garments via presentation format, as opposed to a runway event. It’s worth considering all of this in relation to the hemline index – which is a theory that suggests skirt length rises and falls with stock values (though there is not much proof of this theory actually bearing much weight on modern society). Could it be that we’re in clothing gender “crisis” because of the cost of living? I’d argue no – because while there is no doubt that we’re in a time of austerity, this doesn’t accurately account for the way that clothing has become more androgynous over time. What is really going on for my generation is a widespread social shift away from the notion that women’s appearance exists exclusively in tandem with male attention – as per the 4B movement; or protests against the “your body, my choice” brigade in light of the recent US election. Fashion is just one of the ways young women like me are actively decentering men from our lives. This is why I’ve take a personal step away from more classically-feminine clothing – and would urge you to try it, too. I just don’t feel at home in these garments anymore – or comfortable with what they represent.Tayshawn Comer scores 18 to lead Evansville past Campbell 66-53

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks are rising toward records Tuesday after Donald Trump’s latest talk about tariffs created only some ripples on Wall Street, even if they could roil the global economy were they to take effect. The S&P 500 climbed 0.5% and was on track to top its all-time high set a couple weeks ago. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 81 points, or 0.2%, to its own record set the day before, while the Nasdaq composite was 0.5% higher, with less than an hour remaining in trading. Stock markets abroad were down, but mostly only modestly, after President-elect Trump said he plans to impose sweeping new tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China as soon as he takes office. Stock indexes were down 0.1% in Shanghai and nearly flat in Hong Kong, while Canada's main index edged down by just 0.1%. Trump has often praised the use of tariffs , but investors are weighing whether his latest threat will actually become policy or is just an opening point for negotiations. For now, the market seems to be taking it more as the latter. Unless the United States can prepare alternatives for the autos, energy products and other goods that come from Mexico, Canada and China, such tariffs would raise the price of imported items all at once and make households poorer, according to Carl Weinberg and Rubeela Farooqi, economists at High Frequency Economics. They would also hurt profit margins for U.S. companies, while raising the threat of retaliatory tariffs by other countries. General Motors sank 8.2%, and Ford Motor fell 2.6% because both import automobiles from Mexico. Constellation Brands, which sells Modelo and other Mexican beer brands in the United States, dropped 3.9%. Beyond the pain such tariffs would cause U.S. households and businesses, they could also push the Federal Reserve to slow or even halt its cuts to interest rates. The Fed had just begun easing its main interest rate from a two-decade high a couple months ago to offer support to the job market . While lower interest rates can boost the overall economy and prices for investments, they can also offer more fuel for inflation. “Many” officials at the Fed's last meeting earlier this month said they should lower rates gradually, according to minutes of the meeting released Tuesday afternoon. Unlike tariffs in Trump's first term, his proposal from Monday night would affect products across the board. Trump’s tariff talk came almost immediately after U.S. stocks rose Monday amid excitement about his pick for Treasury secretary, Scott Bessent. The hope was the hedge-fund manager could steer Trump away from policies that balloon the U.S. government deficit, which is how much more it spends than it takes in through taxes and other revenue. The talk about tariffs overshadowed another set of mixed profit reports from U.S. retailers that answered few questions about how much more shoppers can keep spending. They’ll need to stay resilient after helping the economy avoid a recession, despite the high interest rates instituted by the Fed to get inflation under control. Kohl’s tumbled 17.6% after its results for the latest quarter fell short of analysts’ expectations. CEO Tom Kingsbury said sales remain soft for apparel and footwear. A day earlier, Kingsbury said he plans to step down as CEO in January. Ashley Buchanan, CEO of Michaels and a retail veteran, will replace him. Best Buy fell 4.7% after likewise falling short of analysts’ expectations. Dick’s Sporting Goods topped forecasts for the latest quarter thanks to a strong back-to-school season, but its stock lost an early gain to fall 1.4%. A report on Tuesday from the Conference Board said confidence among U.S. consumers improved in November, but not by as much as economists expected. J.M. Smucker jumped 5.4% for one of the biggest gains in the S&P 500 after topping analysts' expectations for the latest quarter. CEO Mark Smucker credited strength for its Uncrustables, Meow Mix, Café Bustelo and Jif brands. Big Tech stocks also helped prop up U.S. indexes. Gains of 2.8% for Amazon and 2% for Microsoft were the two strongest forces lifting the S&P 500. In the bond market, Treasury yields rose following their big drop from a day before driven by relief following Trump’s pick for Treasury secretary. The yield on the 10-year Treasury climbed to 4.30% from 4.28% late Monday, but it’s still well below the 4.41% level where it ended last week. In the crypto market, bitcoin continued to pull back after topping $99,000 for the first time late last week. It's since dipped back toward $91,600, according to CoinDesk. It’s a sharp turnaround from the bonanza that initially took over the crypto market following Trump’s election. That boom had also appeared to have spilled into some corners of the stock market. Strategists at Barclays Capital pointed to stocks of unprofitable companies, along with other areas that can be caught up in bursts of optimism by smaller-pocketed “retail” investors.
