Arvind Kejriwal will remain in Tihar Jail for the time being

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will remain in Tihar Jail for the time being. The High Court on Tuesday refused to grant bail in the money laundering case related to the Delhi liquor scam. The High Court held that the arguments were not properly presented, and therefore set aside the decision of the Rouse Avenue court. In a strong comment, the high court said that looking at the trial court's decision, it appears that judgment was not exercised while granting bail to Kejriwal, the court should have given the ED adequate opportunity to argue.

Canada's population forecast to reach 63 million, as people over 85 set to triple

New projections by Statistics Canada suggest the nation's population could reach 63 million by 2073, with the number of people aged 85 or older set to triple. The agency says migration will be the key driver of population increase under all scenarios, while natural growth only plays a "marginal role" as the population ages and fertility rates remain low. It says the population will rise from about 40 million in 2023 to a range of 47 million to 87 million over the next half a century, with 63 million being the medium-growth forecast. The population of people aged 85 and over would increase from
