It is the darkest day in American history when the superpower is ahead of all other nations in terms of rights! The country's Supreme Court has struck down a five-decade-old legal abortion right for women. It struck down a 50-year-old ruling that gave all women across the country that right. Six of the nine judges (five of them men) ruled against the right to abortion, while three Liberal justices (two of them women) ruled in favor. With this ruling, all the states where the Republicans are in power are likely to deal harshly with abortion. Abortion rights activists have expressed concern that the ruling will turn American women into second-class citizens. They estimate that nearly half of all women of childbearing age in the country are in Republican-dominated states. Responding to the ruling, US President Biden said it was a sad day for the United States and the courts. He also said that the court has done something it has never done before. It has taken away the fundamental co...

It will become an uphill task for newly appointed Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe to handle the situation. The country is depending on bridge finance from World Financial Institutions for providing necessities to the people.

Last month, World Bank offers a $160 million short-term loan to Sri Lanka with a condition of repayment within 30 days. Now, 30 days gra...

Following the acquisition of microblogging company Twitter by global tycoon Elon Musk, radical changes are taking place in the app & web application. Twitter which was a ‘public’ company is being transformed into a private company. As the head of Tesla and SpaceX companies, Musk, the world's giant, has now added a new dimension to Twitter, with the potential to turn it into a brand image. Elon Musk has already announced on Twitter that he will fight for freedom of speech. Microbloggers' opinion was gathered on Twitter and put to a vote. The lion's share of netizens voted in favor of Musk's ambition. Freedom of speech on Twitter is information that will bring about huge changes in the way limited letters are used in each tweet. When the reign of Twitter began 16 years ago, only 71-100 characters were allowed in a single tweet. After that, it was increased to 208 characters. This year it has reached 280 characters. However, those who make big posts are doing two or th...

For a few days, Elon Musk and Twitter names echoed on social media. Finally, the board of Twitter has agreed to a $44bn (£34.5bn) takeover offer from the billionaire Elon Musk. Twitter Chief Executive Officer Parag Agrawal says that the process would take another 6 months to change the Twitter management. But buying Twitter showed a negative impact on Elon Musk’s Tesla share. The shares of Tesla plunged 12 percent on U.S. exchanges immediately after buying Twitter. Musk, who has been trying to buy Twitter for a long time, is believed to have plunged into Tesla's shares following the publicity surrounding the sale of his stake in Tesla to raise funds. In the wake of the Twitter purchase, shareholders sold their shares as a precautionary measure as the campaign to sell Tesla if necessary also intensified. Tesla has been in a bit of a predicament since Musk announced on Twitter that he had bought shares. Until then, the market value had plummeted to $ 275 billion. As Tesla's share...
