Bangladesh Ends Visa-On-Arrival Ahead of National Elections
Bangladesh Ends Visa-On-Arrival Ahead of National Elections
Politics
What’s Happening?
The government of Bangladesh has announced a change to its visa rules just weeks before the country’s national elections. Under the new procedure, many visitors will no longer be granted a visa on arrival when they reach Bangladesh. Instead, people wishing to visit the country will need to apply for their visa in advance through a Bangladesh embassy or online before they travel.
Bangladesh leaders say this change is meant to better manage security and travel procedures as the country prepares for a major democratic event. The move affects travellers from a long list of countries who previously could get a visa when they landed at the airport or border crossing. Officials emphasize that the new rule is temporary and linked to the election period, which involves large gatherings, political rallies, and heightened attention inside and outside the country.
Why is it Important?
This matters because visa policies countries use to decide who can enter and on what terms are a key part of how nations balance openness and security. Changing how visas are issued can affect tourism, business travel, family visits, and diplomatic relations. This can take extra time and planning, especially for small tour groups, students, or families visiting relatives.
For students learning about governments and elections, this situation shows how countries sometimes adjust rules ahead of big events to address concerns about safety, crowd management, or political tensions. It also highlights how laws that affect everyday people like how to get into a country can change quickly depending on what’s happening in the world.

India vs New Zealand: NZ Chase Down 285 for Seven-Wicket Victory
India vs New Zealand: NZ Chase Down 285 for Seven-Wicket Victory
Sports
What’s Happening?
In the second One Day International (ODI) between India and New Zealand at Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot, New Zealand chased down India’s total and won by seven wickets to level the three-match series 1-1.
India batted first and put up 284 runs for the loss of 7 wickets in 50 overs. KL Rahul played a powerful innings, scoring 112 not out, and Shubman Gill added a solid 56 runs to boost the total. India posted a challenging target thanks to these key partnerships.
New Zealand’s reply got off to a shaky start, but a huge partnership changed the game. Daryl Mitchell scored an unbeaten 131 and was supported by Will Young’s 87, helping New Zealand bring the total to 286 for 3 in just 47.3 overs, winning the match with 15 balls to spare. This marked one of New Zealand’s biggest successful chases in India.
Why is it Important?
This win was important for New Zealand because it evened the ODI series, giving both teams a shot at the third and deciding match. Chasing 285 successfully showed great patience and strategy from New Zealand’s batters, especially after early setbacks.
For young cricket fans, this game highlights how a big partnership can change the momentum of a match. India’s bowlers made early breakthroughs, but New Zealand’s middle-overs stand proved decisive. Smart batting, focus under pressure, and teamwork helped them turn the match around. Matches like this show that cricket isn’t just about big scores, it’s about how players adapt, support each other, and chase big targets together.

Wikipedia Strikes New Agreements to Help Power AI With Structured Content
Wikipedia Strikes New Agreements to Help Power AI With Structured Content
Tech
What’s Happening?
Wikipedia’s operator, the Wikimedia Foundation, has struck new agreements with big tech companies including Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, and AI startups to let them pay for access to Wikipedia’s content for training their AI systems. These deals build on a previous arrangement with Google and are part of a fresh effort to help Wikipedia cover rising costs as companies increasingly rely on its huge database of articles to teach language models how to understand language and answer questions.
Wikipedia is one of the largest collections of human knowledge on the internet, with millions of articles in hundreds of languages. Tech companies use this information to help their artificial intelligence systems learn about topics ranging from world history to science and pop culture. The new deals aim to make AI training more sustainable for Wikipedia, which is mostly funded by donations from people around the world.
Why is it Important?
This matters because it shows how huge sources of online knowledge like Wikipedia are becoming important partners in building AI. Instead of relying solely on scraping free webpages, AI companies are now paying for structured, high-quality data. That helps ensure that Wikipedia gets support from the tech industry it helps power.
This story highlights how the internet and AI are connected. A site many people use for homework and research is now also part of what teaches AI how to answer your questions. It also shows how nonprofits can work with businesses to create systems that are fairer and more sustainable, especially as technology grows.

Voyager 1’s Incredible Journey Brings It One Light-Day From Earth
Voyager 1’s Incredible Journey Brings It One Light-Day From Earth
Science
What’s Happening?
NASA’s legendary spacecraft Voyager 1 is about to achieve an historic first for humanity. Launched all the way back in 1977, Voyager 1 has now travelled farther from Earth than any other human-made object. By November 2026, it is expected to become the first spacecraft ever to reach a distance of one light-day from Earth, about 16 billion miles away. That means if NASA sends a command to Voyager 1, it will take a full 24 hours for the message to reach it, and another 24 hours for the reply to get back.
Voyager 1 is already sailing through interstellar space, the region beyond the Sun’s influence. After flying past Jupiter and Saturn, it kept going outward, powered by its own momentum and a tiny nuclear battery that’s lasted for nearly five decades. On the way, NASA has gradually turned off instruments to save power so the spacecraft can keep sending back science data from deep space.
Why is it Important?
Reaching one light-day distance is a cool way to picture how vast space really is. Light travels incredibly fast about 300,000 kilometres every second yet it will still take an entire day for light to make the journey to Voyager 1 at that milestone. That’s far beyond the planets we usually see in the sky. For comparison, Mars is only a few light-minutes away at closest approach, and even Pluto is only about 6-7 light-hours from Earth.
This milestone isn’t just about distance. It shows how durable and well-built Voyager 1 has been, outlasting its original mission by decades and still teaching us about the environment beyond our solar system.
