The interim government's advisory council yesterday passed a draft of the Cyber Surokkha Adhyadesh 2024 to ensure the security of vulnerable people in cyberspace. The new cyber security law "will protect media freedom", said Shafiqul Alam, the chief adviser's press secretary, at a briefing. All controversial sections of the previous law that were used by the last government to muzzle the press and dissent voices have been dropped in the new draft of the cyber security law, he said. "The new law will in no way curtail the freedom of the press. You can be sure of this -- we want to make cyberspace safe for all vulnerable people in the country. There are incidents of many people being cheated -- many women and children are being bullied," he added. Earlier on November 7, the advisory council decided in principle to repeal the Cyber Security Act which has been used to curb press freedom and suppress political dissent. In September 2023, the Awami League government passed the CSA in parliament, replacing the Digital Security Act (DSA) 2018. Rights defenders and journalists pointed out at the time that the provisions used to repress dissent were carried over from the DSA to the CSA. The advisory council also decided to implement the recommendation "Promotion Committee for Retired Officers Deprived of Promotion", Alam said. Earlier this month, the committee in its report recommended the promotion of 764 retired officials to various ranks, including deputy secretary, joint secretary, additional secretary and secretary with retrospective effect. The officials, who retired between 2009 and August 4 this year, believe that they had been deprived by the AL regime. The government started the legal process to extradite the fallen autocrat Shiekh Hasina from India, Alam said. "But it is a long process -- we hopeful that her extradition will take place soon and Sheikh Hasina will face trial." Hasina's crimes in the last 15 years were "horrible". "About 3,500 people faced enforced disappearance. Thousands of people have been extrajudicially killed. About 1,500 people died during the July and August uprising," Alam added. Chief Adviser's Deputy Press Secretary Apurba Jahangir said Asked about Adviser Mahfuj Alam's controversial Victory Day Facebook post, Apurba Jahangir, deputy press secretary to the chief adviser, said the post was deleted within hours of posting and "was entirely his personal opinion and it was not government's opinion". Mahfuj later shared another post from his Facebook account where he made things clear, Jahangir said. Also at the press conference, Alam said Bangladesh has launched a negotiation with South Korea on an Economic Partnership Agreement in an effort to open a broader window for economic cooperation between the two countries. "Bangladesh is looking for a bigger market going beyond the European and American markets."

Rodgers acknowledged he has “a little MCL” issue in a knee, but added: “I've had a lot worse. I lucked out. I avoided major stretchage of the MCL.” Rodgers was hurt in the Jets’ 19-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams last Sunday but remained in the game. “I’m gonna play,” Rodgers said of the game against the Bills. “It feels pretty good.” Rookie left tackle Olu Fashanu’s promising first season is over, though, as the first-round pick was placed on injured reserve with an injury to the plantar fascia in his left foot. Interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said earlier Tuesday that it was “just too early to tell” what Rodgers' availability might be, but he was optimistic about the 41-year-old quarterback's chances. “If I’m a betting man," Ulbrich said, “I’m betting on Aaron Rodgers to play.” Rodgers said he didn't need an MRI on the knee, the latest ailment in what has been an injury-filled season. He earlier dealt with knee, hamstring and ankle issues that hindered his play at times. One of the four-time MVP's goals entering the season was playing in all 17 games after being limited to four snaps in his debut last year because of a torn Achilles tendon. “I definitely felt like at midseason that was going to be difficult,” Rodgers said of playing in every game. “But right now, it looks like, for sure, 16. And hopefully get through this one and get to 17.” The Jets held a walkthrough Tuesday and their next full practice is Thursday, giving Rodgers some extra time to recover. Rodgers has 24 touchdown passes and eight interceptions this season, and he's one TD throw from becoming the fifth player in NFL history with 500 for his career in the regular season. While his plans for the final two games appear clear, his playing future beyond this season is uncertain. Rodgers has another year left on his deal with the Jets, but the team is looking for a new general manager and head coach. Whether the quarterback will be part of the new regime's plans will be a major storyline this offseason. During an appearance Monday on “The Pat McAfee Show,” Rodgers suggested he could be released the day after the regular season ends. He said there's also a chance he could be retained but acknowledged he's going to take some time to decide if he even wants to play in a 21st NFL season. “I think anything is truly possible,” Rodgers said Tuesday of potentially being released. "Whether it happens or not, I’m sure that there will be decisions that, I don’t think there will be surprises where there’s like, ‘Oh, I don’t know what we want to do with certain people.’ I think there’s going to be some decisions that want to be made the day after the season or a couple days after the season, so I don’t know. I’m just not naive. “There’s not zero percent in my mind. I don’t think it’s a high percentage. I think there’s probably a conversation to be had, but I’m just not naive to that being a zero percent chance. I think it’s more than a zero percent chance and less than a certainty, so somewhere in the middle.” Rodgers said he hasn't spoken recently to owner Woody Johnson and doesn't necessarily think the lack of any indication of whether he's wanted back means he won't be. “I would be surprised if there was a conversation now because there’s so many uncertainties,” he said. “There’s a GM that has to get hired, I would assume first, and then he’s going to be part of hiring the head coach, so I have to be in the plans of multiple people, starting with the ownership and then the GM and then the head coach." Rodgers added that if he's told the Jets want him back, it would mean they see him as an important part of trying to change the culture of a team that hasn't made the postseason in 14 years. “That’d be special to hear that,” he said, “but if they don’t, again, no offense at all will be taken.” Fashanu had a solid first NFL season after being the 11th overall draft pick in April out of Penn State. He began the year as veteran Tyron Smith's backup before filling in at right tackle for two games when Morgan Moses was injured. Fashanu, who played only left tackle in college, also stepped in at right guard for an injured Alijah Vera-Tucker against Houston. When Smith was lost for the season with a neck injury last month, Fashanu took over as the starter and excelled in five starts. He was hurt midway through the fourth quarter against the Rams and was seen on crutches in the locker room after the game. Ulbrich said he believed Fashanu would need surgery, but the team later clarified that a procedure won't be required. “It's unfortunate,” Ulbrich said. “He's having a great rookie season. But at the same time, these injuries sometimes give you an opportunity to step back and really start absorbing some of the information as you were kind of thrown into the fire. He'll use it as an opportunity to grow, I know that.” The Jets signed veteran kicker Greg Joseph to the practice squad and he'll compete with Anders Carlson for the job this week. Ulbrich said Greg Zuerlein, on IR since late October with a knee injury, also could be in the mix. Carlson, the fourth kicker used by the Jets this season, missed an extra point and a 49-yard field goal try late in the fourth quarter against the Rams. He is 8 of 10 on field goal tries and 9 for 11 on extra points in five games with New York. “We'll see how it goes and we'll put the best guy out there,” Ulbrich said.

Judges at the Supreme Court have been asked by feminist campaign group For Women Scotland to rule, definitively, on the definition of ‘woman’ in the context of the law. Should, the organisation wants to know, a male-bodied trans woman be allowed access to single-sex spaces and services if they are in possession of a gender recognition certificate? The judges’ ruling – regardless of their view – will have huge repercussions for Mr Swinney. Yet we’ve heard not a peep from him on the matter. How times have changed in the SNP . It was former leader Nicola Sturgeon who led the capture by trans activists of her party’s policy machine. Under Ms Sturgeon, the SNP made reform of the Gender Recognition Act its political priority. But despite cross-party support for allowing trans people to self-identify into the legally-recognised sex of their preference, a change in the law was blocked last year by then Scottish Secretary Alister Jack on the grounds that it was incompatible with the UK-wide Equality Act. Of course, there was much outrage from Nationalist Towers about a Conservative minister intervening in a matter of Scottish democracy but, privately, many senior SNP figures were rather relieved. Harry Potter author JK Rowling has been vocal on the court case and its implications Women's Rights supporters protest outside the hearing at the Supreme Court in London First Minister John Swinney has been quiet on the court case in London, writes Euan McColm Ms Sturgeon’s obsession with gender ideology had set the Scottish Government at odds with the majority of Scots who, while very much believing in the principle of live-and-let-live, did not share her laissez faire attitude to the prospect of male-bodied people being allowed entry into domestic violence shelters and rape crisis centres. In private, some senior Nationalists said Mr Jack had helped them ‘dodge a bullet’. The judges’ ruling on the question of what is a woman stands – at the very least – to impact on the delivery of services across the public sector. There is every reason for the First Minister to be explaining his government’s position to us all. Despite this, Mr Swinney has decided on a ‘nothing to see here’ approach. The problem for the First Minister is that voters, quite understandably, think there is quite a lot to see. Not for the first time in his career, Mr Swinney is playing the role of a hapless cop failing to wave onlookers away from a burning fireworks factory. From the intolerably reckless stupidity of housing male-bodied sex offenders in women’s prisons to the scandal of rape crisis centres refusing to guarantee female-only counselling services, a number of high-profile cases have made Ms Sturgeon’s wild-eyed adherence to incoherent gender ideology all the more foolish. Read More Sex is an 'immutable biological state', Supreme Court hears as women's rights campaign group challenges Scottish government over the definition of a woman The former First Minister, gripped by the moral certainty of the zealot, saw to it that the activist mantra ‘trans women are women’ became SNP dogma. Almost two years after Ms Sturgeon resigned as First Minister, the gender question continues to be a problem for the SNP. Mr Swinney may, as some party sources tell me, not share Ms Sturgeon’s fashionable views about the existence of multiple, ever-shifting genders, but he’s timid indeed about raising his voice on the subject. The First Minister considers himself a man of the centre-Left (though those of us who’ve followed Mr Swinney’s career for decades might argue the soubriquet ‘Tartan Tory’ was made for him) and, like others of his ilk, he finds himself confronted with an ideology that – for no reason other than the say-so of activists – is seen as being avowedly of the Left. It’s no surprise this version of the ‘truth’ has caught on. It nestles perfectly in the current political landscape where no party is more fully captured by gender gibberish than the far-Left Greens while, at both Holyrood and Westminster, it’s the Conservative Party that’s spoken out most loudly against allowing the frequently contradictory tenets of gender ideology to impact on policy-making. Perhaps the most effective achievement of the trans activist movement has been not only to have made the world believe their cause is inherently Left-wing but to have convinced a substantial part of it that disagreement with their objectives is a ‘hard-Right’ position. This is hysterical rhetoric not only on social media but within the political bubble. A generation of senior politicians such as Mr Swinney is paralysed with fear when it comes to discussing gender ideology because they know that to dissent from the position that someone is whatever sex they say they are is to risk the wrath of their own activists. The effect of this is that politicians of the Left such as Mr Swinney, Scottish Labour’s Anas Sarwar, and Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Alex Cole-Hamilton are currently failing to address – or even consider – the perfectly moderate, and widely held, view that biology matters when it comes to providing single sex spaces and services. Click here to visit the Scotland home page for the latest news and sport Advertisement One only has to look at some of those accused of being ‘far-Right’ for refusing to accept the demands of trans activists to see how laughable a charge it is. Are we really to accept that the feminist writer and activist Julie Bindel, who has campaigned for four decades against male violence against women, is a Right-winger? Are we truly supposed to entertain the notion that novelist JK Rowling has abandoned decades of Left-wing principles because she thinks rape victims shouldn’t have to share safe spaces with those born male? There is, of course, nothing Right (or, for that matter, Left) wing about having concerns over the implications of gender ideology. It is not Right-wing to think that there are very good reasons for the exclusion of anybody born male – no matter how they may identify – from places such as women’s refuges, nor is it Right-wing to be concerned about the impact of powerful puberty-blocking drugs on confused young children. Until politicians who lead for the Left begin to accept these facts, they risk losing voters. Why would a lifelong feminist of the Left stand by Labour if the party decides her years of activism and her principles mean nothing? Why should a committed Nationalist give their vote to the SNP if they’re told their concerns about rapists in female prisons make them a Nazi? The First Minister, in common with Mr Sarwar, seems to think that if he ignores the impact of gender ideology, it will cease to be important. If this truly is what both men believe, then they are sorely mistaken. The question of whether male-bodied people should be allowed into single-sex spaces such as rape crisis centres is not some fringe issue. If it were, then the Scottish Government would not have devoted so much time to trying to introduce self-ID, would it? Regardless of how the Supreme Court ultimately rules on the question of what a woman is, trans rights activists will continue to insist that their critics are Right-wingers. No matter how much John Swinney might wish it would, this issue is not going to go away. Most people don’t think it Right-wing to exclude male-bodied people from female spaces. They just think it’s right. London SNP John Swinney Share or comment on this article: EUAN MCCOLM: Most Scots don't think it's Right-wing to ban male-bodied people from women's spaces.
