Trump says progress made in Ukraine talks but 'thorny issues' remain

 Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky said progress had been made to end the Ukraine war during Florida talks but the US leader added "one or two very thorny issues" remained.

While both the US and Ukrainian presidents described the talks as "great", Trump reiterated that a key sticking point was the question of territory. Russia has previously demanded that Ukraine hand over more land.

Addressing reporters at Mar-a-Lago, Zelensky said they had come to an agreement on "90%" of a 20-point peace plan, while Trump said a security guarantee for Ukraine was "close to 95%" done.

Zelensky later said US and Ukrainian teams would meet next week for further talks on issues aimed at ending Russia's nearly four-year war in Ukraine.

Assessment of ground water using water quality index through GiS in Bahawalpur city

 Abstract  This study assessed groundwater quality in Bahawalpur, Pakistan, using the CCME-WQI method. Geographic Information System (GIS) tools were utilised to facilitate a safe drinking water evaluation. The groundwater in the city was sampled and analysed for ten physicochemical properties, including pH, total hardness (TH), total dissolved solids (TDS), electrical conductivity (EC), turbidity (NTU), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), potassium (K), sodium (Na) and Lead (Pb). Seventeen groundwater samples were collected from various locations throughout the city. Analysis showed that groundwater pH levels were within permissible drinking limits, although slightly elevated. However, most samples exceeded acceptable hardness and TDS levels, requiring treatment before use. According to the findings of the CCME-WQI, only 6% of the evaluated regions had exceptional or high water quality, while 82% of the sites had poor water quality. Hamaitian Basti recorded the poorest groundwater ...
