- Bangladesh's future hinges on overcoming Hasina's legacy, managing international relations, conducting new elections, and implementing political reforms. The interim government faces intricate tasks to build a fairer and more democratic Bangladesh.

Quick Glance: Philippine Court's Ruling on Rappler's License Restoration
- A court in the Philippines has mandated that the country's corporate regulatory body restore the license of Rappler, a media company led by Nobel laureate Maria Ressa.

- Rappler had previously contended that the Omidyar Network, the philanthropic arm of eBay founder Pierre Omidyar, was a silent investor. Omidyar severed ties by donating the Depository Receipts to Rappler's staff.
