Karnataka: Eleven medical students suspended for creating offensive reels
Hubballi: A group of eleven medical students in Karnataka have been suspended by the Karnataka Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS) in Hubballi after they created offensive reels that demeaned nurses and shared them on social media platforms. The incident has stirred controversy and raised concerns about the treatment of healthcare professionals.
The offensive reels, which portrayed nurses in a derogatory and humiliating manner, were produced without obtaining consent from the nurses depicted. These videos featured the students mimicking a popular Kannada movie song titled ‘Nambeda Nambeda Nursegalanna Nambeda’, which translates to "Do not believe nurses," accompanied by music.
In response to the outcry, KIMS Principal Dr. Eshwar Hosamni promptly took action by suspending the students for a week. The move aims to address the issue and send a message against such behavior.

As the video rapidly gained traction online, nurses from KIMS voiced their outrage and demanded swift action against the students involved. Under pressure from the nursing community, the suspended students released a subsequent video in which they apologized to the nurses, stating that their intention was solely for entertainment purposes.
Nevertheless, the incident has ignited strong reactions among nurses across the state. Nurses at the Kolar district hospital staged a protest against the offensive content, while the state Association for Nurses submitted a letter to the director of KIMS, condemning the behavior of the medical students and urging appropriate actions to be taken against them.

US VP JD Vance says Lebanon not part of ceasefire, calls it ‘misunderstanding’
Budapest/Washington: US Vice President J D Vance has said that Lebanon was never included in the ceasefire understanding with Iran, describing the confusion as a “legitimate misunderstanding”.
Speaking to reporters before departing from Hungary, Vance said, “I think the Iranians thought that the ceasefire included Lebanon and it just didn’t. We never made that promise.”
He stressed that the United States had not included Lebanon in the scope of the ceasefire at any stage.
His remarks come amid continued Israeli strikes in Lebanon, where more than 200 people were reported killed, even as ceasefire talks between Iran and the US move forward.
Vance said Israel had “offered … to check themselves a little bit in Lebanon because they want to make sure that our negotiation is successful”.
He warned that if Iran allows the situation in Lebanon to affect the negotiations, it could derail the talks.
“If Iran wants to let this negotiation fall apart in a conflict where they were getting hammered over Lebanon, which has nothing to do with them and which the United States never once said was part of the ceasefire, that’s ultimately their choice,” he said.
