Biden defends departure from 'forever war'

A defensive US President Joe Biden called the US airlift to extract more than 120,000 Afghans, Americans and other allies to end a 20-year war an “extraordinary success,” though more than 100 Americans and thousands of Afghans remain behind. Biden vigorously defended his decision to end America's longest war and withdraw all US troops ahead of an August 31 deadline. “I was not going to extend this forever war,” Biden declared from the White House. "And I was not going to extend a forever exit.”

Touching kid’s cheeks not sexual assault: HC

Observing that touching cheeks without a sexual intent would not attract the offence of “sexual assault” under the Pocso Act, the Bombay high court on Friday granted bail to a 46-year-old chicken seller who spent 13 months in jail. The court said primary evaluation of the material on record does not suggest the accused touched the minor’s cheeks with a sexual intent. “In consideration of these facts, in my view, a case is made out for releasing the applicant on bail,” the court said.
