William Byron Wins the 2024 Daytona 500 by Outlasting The Finish Line Action (NASCAR)

 DADENA BEACH, Florida: For Hendrick Motorsports' 40th anniversary, team owner Rick Hendrick had even more reason to rejoice thanks to William Byron. Lap 197 of the Daytona 500 saw a chaotic restart, and just minutes before Ross Chastain spun crazily through the infield grass off Austin Cindric's Ford's bumper, NASCAR called the fifth caution of the race. Byron arrived at the start/finish line and took the white flag. In the period of caution, Alex Bowman finished just behind his teammate, giving Hendrick a 1-2 finish and the organization's first win in the "Great American Race" since Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s victory in 2014. In the "Great American Race," it was the first Hendrick 1-2 since Jimmie Johnson defeated Earnhardt to the finish line in 2013. With this victory, Hendrick tied Petty Enterprises for the most in the history of the most prestigious race in the NASCAR Cup Series. It was also Hendrick's eighth Daytona 500 triumph. The weekend...

Myanmar should take them back its citizens

Describing Rohingyas as a big burden for Bangladesh, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday said Myanmar should take back its citizens. She said this when two delegations of the UK All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Population, Development and Reproductive Health and UK Conservative Friends of Bangladesh (CFoB) jointly called on her at the Gono Bhaban. The PM said Bangladesh sheltered the Rohingyas on humanitarian grounds as it had a similar experience during the Liberation War in 1971 when an estimated 10 million Bangladeshis took shelter in India as refugees. “Now the Rohingyas have emerged as a big burden for us and the local people have to face immense suffering for them,” Hasina said.
Briefing reporters after the meeting, PM’s Press Secretary Ihsanul Karim said the premier extended sincere thanks to the local people for accepting the suffering on humanitarian grounds.
The delegations, led by UK APPG Chair Anne Main, handed over a report to Hasina on their visit to the Rohingya camps in Cox’s Bazar.
They appreciated the PM for her humanitarian gesture in sheltering the forcibly displaced Rohingyas and said they would continue their support over the Rohingya issue.
Regarding Bangladesh-UK relations, the PM said Britain has continuously been giving assistance to Bangladesh for its development.
The team of UK APPG praised Bangladesh’s family planning policy, adopted by Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman after the 1971 Liberation War. The delegation members also said the name of Bangladesh was mentioned in many UK reports for its success on family planning issues. They lauded Bangladesh’s socio-economic development.
Hasina said her government was working tirelessly for the country’s development. “My main task is to improve the condition of the rural areas and the rural masses.”
PM’s Political Affairs Adviser HT Imam, Principal Secretary Md Nojibur Rahman and British High Commissioner in Dhaka Robert Chatterton Dickson were present on the occasion.
