一 | Teens in the city of Prayagraj in India's Uttar Pradesh are making headlines for manufacturing crude bombs from easily available explosive materials for just INR 60 to 80 ($1.01), and hurling them at educational institutions and shops.,As many as 35 students, including 27 minors, have recently been arrested in Prayagraj after learning how to make bombs by watching viral videos on social media and putting their newly-acquired skills to practice. The adult students have been sent to jail, according to the police.,Shocked by the details that emerged during the interrogation of the students, Shailesh Kumar Pandey, Superintendent of Police in Prayagraj city, told Indian news agency IANS that the minors between 14 and 17 years of age have become experts in making a low-intensity crude bomb within minutes.,"They would take electrical tape from their houses, and purchase two low or high-intensity firecrackers from the market. Then they collect its explosive material on a piece of paper, add pieces of glass bottle and stones, and wrap it with electrical tapes," Pandey added.,During the interrogation, the cyber unit of the Prayagraj District Police found that students would coordinate the production of bombs through social media groups and share videos on how to make them at home via these groups.,Several such groups are now under scrutiny, with the authorities asking the parents of the adult students sent to jail to talk to their children.,At least 10 such groups, as well as student profiles on social media, are now being monitored by police.。
The first Republican presidential debate is quickly approaching, and with it, an early test of the candidates’ viability.
To qualify for the Aug. 23 debate in Milwaukee, a candidate must poll at least 1% in three national polls, or a mix of two national polls and two polls from early-primary states, according to rules set by the Republican National Committee. Candidates must also receive donations from 40,000 donors, including 200 unique donors in 20 states or more.
In addition to the polling and fundraising requirements, the candidates must also take a loyalty pledge in order to participate in the debate. With that pledge, which has been controversial among the candidates, GOP presidential hopefuls must sign a statement that they will support the eventual Republican nominee.
Though the barriers for entry aren’t especially high, some candidates have raised concerns that the addition of a fundraising requirement is too burdensome. All the while, the importance of the event has been called into question as former President Donald Trump, the GOP front-runner, has opted not to attend.
Here’s where the candidates stand:
