Trump is reportedly set to relax U.S. ban on land mines
President Trump will announce as early as Friday that he will undo restrictions on using or acquiring land mines enacted by former President Barack Obama in 2014, two U.S. officials tell Reuters. Obama had moved to stop all U.S. production and acquisition of anti-personnel mines, including to replace degraded stockpiles. The U.S. is not among the more than 160 signatories to the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty, but it adheres to many of its provisions and prohibits the use of anti-personnel mines outside of the Korean peninsula, Reuters says. "The resumption of the use of anti-personnel land mines and continued stockpiling and production of these indiscriminate weapons is militarily unnecessary and dangerous," said Daryl Kimball at the Arms Control Association. The U.S. hasn't used land mines since a single anti-personnel mine in Afghanistan in 2002, Kimball's group says, and the last time the U.S. military used mines in any significant way was in the 1991 Gulf War.

Ranbir Kapoor is one of the biggest stars of B-town. The actor has delivered several impressive performances back-to-back. This year too, he’s set to star in several awaited projects including Brahmastra and Shamshera. Ranbir is known to dive deep into his characters. The actor has been prepping for his next with Luv Ranjan, which also stars Shraddha Kapoor. The film, yet untitled, is surely creating a buzz among the audience.

Phony Ppl – “Fkn Around” (Feat. Megan Thee Stallion)
Megan Thee Stallion played a Tiny Desk Concert backed by the Brooklyn neo-soul band Phony Ppl last month. During the performance, they debuted a brand new collaboration called "Fkn Around." Today, they're finally sharing the studio version of the song, and as you might be able to guess from the title, "Fkn Around" is a smoothly funky jam about fucking around: "You got a man, but you're fuckin' around/ Riskin' it all, baby, just to get down." "We have some overlapping people on our teams," Phony Ppl singer Elbee Thrie tells NPR, explaining how the collab came to be. "One of them brought the song to her with a disclaimer, 'I know you don't usually do this.' But she gave it an organic listen and was feelin' it. And with the topic being what it was, having a woman on the song who could pen a great verse was what we wanted. And that's exactly what she did." Listen to "Fkn Around" below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STpRa2JPFA0
