What recent decision did the Bangladesh Supreme Court make regarding the caretaker government system?
Restored the caretaker government system but excluded its application in the February 2026 electionsThe Bangladesh Supreme Court, in a landmark verdict by a seven-member bench led by Chief Justice Syed Refaat Ahmed, revived the 1996 constitutional provision for a non-partisan caretaker government during elections. However, the ruling specified that this system would not apply to the upcoming February 2026 elections, which will be overseen by the current interim government led by Muhammad Yunus. The caretaker system had been abolished in 2011 by the then-ruling Awami League. The court declared the 2011 judgment invalid due to apparent legal errors. Future elections after 2026 will be conducted under the revived caretaker framework.

What did the IAEA Board of Governors urge Iran to do in November 2025?
Extend full and prompt cooperation and provide precise information on its uranium stockpileThe International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governors passed a resolution urging Iran to resume full cooperation following the June 2025 Israel–Iran war that damaged nuclear sites. Iran has not allowed IAEA inspectors regular access since the conflict, leaving 440.9 kg of 60% enriched uranium unverified—just a technical step from weapons-grade (90%). The resolution, backed by 19 countries including the US, UK, France, and Germany, was opposed by Russia, China, and Niger. Director General Rafael Grossi warned this stockpile could theoretically produce up to 10 nuclear weapons if weaponized. Iran remains legally bound by the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty to cooperate with the IAEA.

Which stadium is hosting its first-ever Test match between India and South Africa starting November 22, 2025?
Barsapara StadiumThe Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati is hosting a Test match for the very first time, marking a historic occasion for cricket in Northeast India. Both teams are unfamiliar with the pitch conditions, which are reported to be batting-friendly initially before spin might come into play later. South Africa’s bowling coach Piet Botha noted the presence of grass on the surface and speculated whether curators would shave it off. The stadium’s location also necessitated a unique schedule change, with tea taken before lunch due to early sunset. This reflects the BCCI’s effort to optimize daylight usage in the region.
