After nearly eight decades of on-again-off-again conflict, India and Pakistan neared the brink of all-out war last spring. The intense, four-day conflict was an unsettling reminder of the dangers of military escalation between two nuclear-armed adversaries. Though the ceasefire was reached and both sides claimed victory, Delhi and Islamabad are still on edge and tensions remain high. On the GZERO World Podcast, former Pakistani Foreign Minister Hina Khar joins Ian Bremmer to discuss Pakistan's response to India's strikes, which she believes were unjustified, and why Pakistan needs to defend itself from further aggression.One fifth of the world's population lives on the Indian subcontinent, and Khar says putting them at stake because of a political conflict is dangerous because “you do not know how quickly you can go up the escalation ladder.” Bremmer and Khar also discuss the US role in mediating the conflict with India, Pakistan's domestic and economic challenges, its strategic partnership with China, and the dangers for global security if the world abandons a rules-based international order.“As someone who was representing this country as foreign minister, I used to wonder, why were we reduced to eating grass to become a nuclear power?” Khar says, “And now, that is the only thing providing deterrence and security against a country which feels it can attack us anytime, any day.”Host: Ian BremmerGuest: Hina Khar Subscribe to the GZERO World with Ian Bremmer Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred podcast platform, to receive new episodes as soon as they're published.

Much of the discussion following President Trump's meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska has centred around the nature of any security guarantee for Kyiv. Reports are also beginning to emerge about what the two leaders talked about. In other news, weather conditions are hampering efforts to find survivors of flash floods that have killed more than three hundred people across Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir. And Police Scotland has begun an investigation after pupils at a primary school in Midlothian were added to a WhatsApp group in which they were told to send explicit photographs.

So schön die Region am Fuß des Himalayas ist, so konfliktbeladen ist sie seit Jahrzehnten. Im August 1965 beginnt der zweite Kaschmir-Krieg zwischen Indien und Pakistan. Von Thomas Pfaff.

All of the active India-Pakistan wars and conflicts have been short, 22 days in 1965 being the longest. Op Sindoor was just over three days. Whenever a conclusive outcome like a capitulation and mass surrender is missing, there's scope for both sides to claim victory. Now that both the Indian Air Force and Pakistan Air Force have made formal claims of the other's aircraft they shot down in the 87-hour predominantly aerial conflagration in May, we can explore some deeper issues. Do these numbers really matter? What do these count for? – Watch this week's #NationalInterest with @ShekharGupta

The death toll from heavy monsoon floods and landslides in Pakistan continues to rise rapidly, as rescuers pull dozens more bodies overnight from flattened homes.

C'est à la Une de nombreux sites d'information maliens ce matin. Onze photographies un peu floues, dont celle d'un homme blanc, photos dont on peut penser qu'elles ont été prises après l'arrestation de ce petit groupe accusé de conspiration. « Tentative de déstabilisation : des noms révélés à la télévision nationale », titre Sahel Tribune, qui ajoute : « Bamako brise le silence : des officiers, des civils et un ressortissant français sont arrêtés pour tentative de fragilisation de la Transition. Un coup de filet qui en dit autant sur la fermeté du pouvoir que sur le climat de défiance ambiant ». « Parmi les personnes arrêtées », précise Bamada.net, figure « un ressortissant français présenté comme agissant pour le compte d'un service de renseignement français. Il est accusé d'avoir mobilisé des responsables politiques, des acteurs de la société civile et des militaires, dont les généraux de brigade Abass Dembélé et Nema Sagara ». Notons d'ailleurs que Nema Sagara est la seule femme figurant sur les photographies publiées hier. Quant au gouvernement, précise le Journal du Mali, « il affirme que la situation est maîtrisée et que l'enquête se poursuit pour identifier d'éventuels complices ». Animaux brûlés vifs Dans l'actualité africaine également : des incendies monstres dans le nord du Maroc. « Un vaste incendie ravage actuellement la forêt d'Amelay, située dans la province de Chefchaouen », annonce Africanews. « De puissantes colonnes de fumée s'élèvent au-dessus de la région, tandis que les flammes dévorent des hectares de végétation, attisées par des vents violents et des températures caniculaires (…) les autorités ont ordonné l'évacuation des habitations les plus proches, par mesure de sécurité. Les habitants ont décrit des scènes de panique et des flammes d'une intensité sans précédent ». Des habitants dont l'hebdomadaire marocain Tel Quel publie des témoignages. Mohamed Darraz, un agriculteur de 32 ans raconte : « Notre vie a basculé. Le feu a tout emporté (…) Certains animaux ont été brûlés vifs dans leurs enclos. Nous avons essayé de nous entraider, mais face à un tel incendie et au vent, c'était presqu'impossible ». Hier soir, le feu était circonscrit selon les autorités marocaines. Mais la prudence reste de mise. Tel Quel rappelle que « le Maroc est frappé par une sécheresse persistante depuis 2018, et subit actuellement une intense vague de chaleur accompagnée par le chergui, vent chaud et sec venu du Sahara, qui complique les opérations de secours ».  Nous nous sommes retrouvés à l'eau À la Une également, un nouveau naufrage de migrants au large de l'île de Lampedusa, en Italie. « 27 morts, des dizaines de disparus » titre Africanews qui raconte : « Le bateau, parti de Libye, a chaviré à environ 20 kilomètres, au sud-ouest de l'île sicilienne. Parmi les soixante survivants, figurent des mineurs originaires du Pakistan, d'Egypte, de Somalie et du Soudan ». « Les recherches se poursuivaient hier » ajoute Média 24. Le journal marocain cite le témoignage d'une Somalienne, « qui a perdu son fils et son mari ». Elle a expliqué au journal italien Il Corriere della Sera « qu'elle avait son fils dans ses bras et son mari à ses côtés. Je ne sais pas comment, nous nous sommes retrouvés à l'eau. Les vagues les ont emportés tous les deux ».   Selon l'OIM, l'Organisation Internationale pour les Migrations, ce sont au total deux bateaux qui étaient parti de Tripoli, à l'aube, avec environ 95 personnes répartie sur deux embarcations. « Mais après que l'un des deux bateaux a pris l'eau, les passagers ont grimpé sur l'autre, qui a chaviré sous la surcharge », explique l'OIM. Selon le HCR, le Haut-commissariat des Nations unies pour les réfugiés, « plus de 700 personnes ont déjà perdu la vie cette année »,  en tentant de traverser la Méditerranée. 

Pakistan's army chief Asim Munir recently made wild headlines in the US, casually threatening nuclear apocalypse at a private dinner. He claimed that if India ever attacked, Pakistan would "take half the world down" with it. Yes, really. In this episode, defence journalist Sandeep Unnithan joins host Dev Goswami to unpack what's behind this latest nuclear sabre-rattling. Why would Pakistan's top general say something so reckless -- and why now, and in Florida of all places? We also dive into: -The factors behind the US's new-found but old love for the Pakistan military -The "Mercedes vs dump truck" analogy -The US designation of Baloch Liberation Army as a terror group, timed right after Munir's visit -How Pakistan developed nukes so fast after India's 1998 Pokhran -The legend of US control over Pakistan's nuclear button -How worried should India be about Asim Munir's Produced by Garvit Srivastava Sound mixed by Rohan Bharti

The Trump administration has hit India with 50% tariffs. And just after a short military conflict between India and Pakistan, President Trump played host to Pakistan's army chief of staff at the White House. Gideon discusses what this means for India and for the region with Tanvi Madan, author of a noted history of the US-India relationship. Clip: WION.

US President Donald Trump's sharply contrasting tariff policies toward India and Pakistan have sparked widespread debate. India, long seen by Washington as a key strategic partner, faces tough tariffs, while Pakistan is swiftly emerging as America's preferred partner in the Indian subcontinent. As one Weibo post put it, “Trump's policy disguised favouritism towards Pakistan at India's expense.” Chinese views on this complex issue vary — from interpreting US moves as a classic divide-and-rule tactic exploiting China-Pakistan ties to seeing it as a humiliation for India. Yet many agree in China that this moment offers an opening for normalising ties between China and India.

ChatGPT has been invading all walks of life in recent months, and that even includes the justice system. In late March 2023, a Pakistani judge consulted the chatbot before granting bail to a 13 year old boy who stood accused of kidnapping and attempting to rape a 9 year old. According to Pakistan Observer, the judge asked ChatGPT the following initial question: ““Can a juvenile suspect in Pakistan, who is 13 years old, be granted bail after arrest?” The chatbot responded: “Under the Juvenile Justice System Act 2018, according to section 12, the court can grant bail on certain conditions.” A discussion then ensued on how this option could be interpreted when taking into account certain other laws. The judge included ChatGPT's responses in his judgement and stated how impressed he was. The cases have led to hope that AI could help make legal systems around the world more efficient, but there's been a lot of criticism and skepticism too. Are there any other examples aside from ChatGPT ? What are the possible risks then?

In this episode, I speak with Gul Rukh Rahman, a woman whose life and work cross continents, cultures, and the fault lines of global politics.Born in Pakistan and raised in countries including Libya and Saudi Arabia, Gul moved to the US for university before settling in Europe 15 years ago. She grew up in conservative Peshawar in the protective bubble of a military family, yet in a region marked by instability and violence, including bomb blasts during Eid celebrations. Family expectations came with tightly controlled choices for education and relationships, leading Gul to go on a hunger strike to avoid dentistry school.Culturally hard to categorise and politically impossible to intimidate, Gul reflects on identity as a woman and a Muslim in the aftermath of 9/11, her decision to wear the hijab as a political statement, and the circumstances that prompted her to take it off. She chose activism over the safety of a corporate career, driven by a commitment to speak uncomfortable truths.Now teaching at the University of Geneva, Gul works far beyond the classroom, advising philanthropists and nonprofits, investigating where the money really goes, and exposing the darker side of “doing good.” We dive into silent philanthropy, the geopolitics shaping global giving, and how vast wealth from the Global South still flows into bank accounts in Switzerland and Dubai while the South continues to “beg” the North.This conversation blends biography, political critique, and a fearless look at philanthropy's contradictions. Gul doesn't pull her punches: and that's exactly why you should listen.Connect with Gul on LinkedIn at linkedin.com/in/gul-rukh-rahman-1b74604.Instagram: @at.the.coalfaceAnd don't forget to subscribe to At the Coalface for new episodes every two weeks.Help us produce more episodes by becoming a supporter.

Autumn shares how to run a strategy meeting that doesn't feel like a slow march through an agenda. Drawing from her experience leading both high-pressure editorial rooms and creative retreats around the world, she explains how to create conditions where people feel safe enough to speak up and bold enough to think differently.

From her balcony in Pakistan, Nikki Kingsley imagined ending it all. Trapped in an arranged marriage, confined to her home, and living in a culture where she could not leave the house without permission, she felt utterly hopeless. Something had to change.After a daring escape to America, Nikki turned to Allah for comfort and spiritual strength. But her journey took an unexpected turn when she began receiving locutions from Jesus and Mary, messages that revealed the faith she had been raised in did not fully reflect the depth and reality of God's love.In this powerful testimony, you will hear the extraordinary story of a woman who risked everything to follow Christ. Her testimony offers both a powerful witness to the truth present in the Christian faith and a sobering look at the unseen challenges faced by many Muslim women around the world.Nikki's book: https://www.amazon.com/Thirst-Truth-Mohammad-Nikki-Kingsley-ebook/dp/B09KZB89KB/ref=sr_1_1?crid=29ZPPGEATAQ0K&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.QWGrWhGVCJrmExndV3oKiTPoqoXP8cIMCr0WXRZUxBV4He_pHmgHHBDJyLsLWPfVRmxNQXQ_dZ3H8hppnC-iztmyWkpLrDWU2HmKNkX0bJ8.SgHO2EGEtG7fvc4ZtulFZll1vnEYHrTO3MGNiizIMfA&dib_tag=se&keywords=nikki+kingsley&qid=1754961277&sprefix=nikki+kingsl%2Caps%2C366&sr=8-1NEW: Join our exclusive Rose Report community! https://lilaroseshow.supercast.com - We'll have BTS footage, ad-free episodes, monthly AMA, and early access to our upcoming guests.A big thanks to our partner, EWTN, the world's leading Catholic network!

It's Tuesday, August 12th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson 4 of 5 most populated countries hostile to Christianity International Christian Concern reports that now “four of the five most populous countries in the world share a disturbing reality: Christians are systematically and harshly persecuted within their borders.” And we would add that these four nations have stepped up persecution against Christians over the last ten years. The four countries are China with a population of 1.41 billion people, India with a population of 1.46 billion people, Indonesia with a population of 285 million people, and Pakistan with a population of 255 million people. By contrast, the United States, with a population of 347 million people, is the other top 5 most populated country which actually allows for religious freedoms. Russia won't comply with 1987 moratorium on nuclear missiles Last week, Russia announced it will no longer comply with the 1987 moratorium on deployment of nuclear-capable intermediate range missiles. These missiles are designed to bring total annihilation to European cities. This opens the way for nuclear-capable launch vehicles to be deployed proximate to theaters of military operation. China doubled nuclear warheads China began its nuclear buildup in 2018—increasing its nuclear firepower from 280 to 600 warheads, and adding 350 new Intercontinental ballistic missile silos this year. This buildup took place at the same time France and the United Kingdom reduced their nuclear arsenals. 80th anniversary since U.S. dropped atomic bombs in Japan This month marks the 80th anniversary since the US dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. The city of Hiroshima marked the anniversary with a memorial event. The city's mayor, Shiro Suzuki, addressed the gathering, as one whose parents survived the 1945 attack. Suzuki said, ”Conflicts around the world are intensifying in a vicious cycle of confrontation and fragmentation . . . and if we continue on this trajectory, we will end up thrusting ourselves into a nuclear war. This existential crisis of humanity has become imminent to each and every one of us living on Earth." Youth unemployment up worldwide The BBC reports some Chinese college graduates are actually paying for a pretend job. The outlet mentions a business called “Pretend to Work Company."   With real jobs increasingly hard to come by, some young adults would rather pay to go into an office rather than to be stuck at home. This year, China's youth unemployment rate has scraped 17 percent. Canada has seen a sharp increase of youth unemployment—now at 14.2 percent. Italy's rate is upwards of 22 percent, and the United Kingdom has seen more increases of youth unemployment what they call “youth economic inactivity” in recent years—now at 13.4 percent. But youth unemployment in South Africa is the highest at 61 percent. The Apostle Paul exhorts the youth and all of us that "If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat. For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are busybodies. Now those who are such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ that they work in quietness and eat their own bread." (2 Thessalonians 3:10-12) World Vision justified in denying employment to a lesbian The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled  that the Christian ministry, World Vision, was well within the law when they denied employment to a lesbian named Aubry McMahon who was in a sinful relationship with a woman she called her “wife.” The court held that the ministry had not violated federal or Washington state non-discrimination laws because it was covered under the “ministerial exception.”  Abortion Kill Pill has enabled abortion rate to increase despite Dobbs Americans are killing significantly more babies following the U.S. Supreme Court reversal of Roe v. Wade through the Dobbs decision on June 24, 2022. Official records put the annual number at 1.1 million, up from 880,000 in 2020. That's a 25 percent increase. The difference appears to be made up by the abortion kill pill by mail program. About 63 percent of the murder of babies is executed by the abortion pill now, and 25 percent of all abortions come by “Telehealth” or by mail. Twenty-two leading Southern Baptist pastors have issued a letter to President Donald Trump, requesting that the administration “stop the mail-order distribution of the abortion drug mifepristone.” To this point, the Trump administration has been reticent to limit access to the abortion kill pill. In May, the U.S. Justice Department recommended tossing out a lawsuit that would have restricted a reduction of access to Telehealth abortions. In an interview with interview with Time Magazine in December, the president reiterated five times, that it was "highly unlikely” the Food and Drug Administration would do anything to restrict access to the Abortion Kill Pill.  However, God is in control. Jeremiah 51:19, 20, and 24 reminds us "He is the Maker of all things;  and Israel is the tribe of His inheritance. The Lord of hosts is His name. You are My battle-ax and weapons of war: For with you, I will break the nation in pieces, says the Lord." California fire has burned 120,000 acres The State of California is dealing with more out-of-control fires. The Gifford Fire started up last Wednesday, and has already consumed some 120,000 acres. It's now threatening the towns of Arroyo Grande and Santa Maria. Sadly, it's only 30 percent contained.  Grand Canyon fire has burned 144,000 acres The Dragon Bravo fire in Arizona has shut down the Grand Canyon North Rim for the season.   This fire has burned up 144,000 acres. In God's all powerful workings, this fire began by lightning strike on Independence Day, July 4th. Despite tariff revenues, 2025 U.S. deficit is $109 million higher than 2024 And finally, despite the Department of Government Efficiency, the tariff hullabaloo, and the influx of import taxes to the federal government coffers, this year's deficit, through July, is a whopping $109 billion more than it was last year. The deficit totaled $1.6 trillion over the first 10 months of fiscal year 2025—heading towards a $1.9 trillion deficit for the year. That's about eight times the average deficit incurred under the George W. Bush administration.

Last week, U.S. President Donald Trump issued an executive order slapping India with a 25 percent special tariff due to its purchases of Russian oil. This surprise measure raised the total tariff on Indian exports to the United States to 50 percent—among the highest rates imposed by the United States on any country in the world.But India is not just “any country.” Over the last quarter-century, it has emerged as one of America's most valuable strategic partners. Trump's tariff move has plunged the bilateral relationship into crisis, raising difficult questions about the future of both U.S. and Indian foreign policy.Grand Tamasha emerged from its summer hiatus for an emergency episode to make sense of these developments and their global ramifications. For this special episode, Milan is joined by Grand Tamasha regulars, Sadanand Dhume of the American Enterprise Institute and the Wall Street Journal and Tanvi Madan of the Brookings Institution.The trio discuss the drivers behind Trump's decision, India's response to the crisis, and the future of India's policy of “multi-alignment.” Plus, the two discuss the U.S. government's 180-degree turn on Pakistan and the prospects for an amicable resolution of the U.S.-India trade spat by summer's end.Episode notes:1.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, NY AG Letitia James has been subpoenaed by the Justice Department as part of a grand jury investigation by the Albany US Attorney's Office, focusing on her $454 million civil fraud case against former President Donald Trump. This is fantastic; she's been politicizing her office for a long time. Jack Smith, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton along with Smith are all being looked at. This is equal justice, not retribution. Also, historian Andrew Roberts discusses how Winston Churchill, long criticized by the left, is now also a target of disdain from the far-right podcasters, ‘influencers' and their guests, challenging the established narrative that the U.S. and U.K. were morally justified in defeating the Third Reich. Later, Trump brokered a historic peace deal between Azerbaijan and Armenia, who have been at war for 35 years. The President also facilitated ceasefires between Congo and Rwanda, Cambodia and Thailand, and India and Pakistan. Efforts are underway to negotiate a Russia-Ukraine deal, with a meeting planned, though concerns remain about Putin's reliability, given his history of breaking agreements. Afterward, On Power explains that John Adams warned that democracies can become tyrannical without just laws, representation, divided powers, private property rights, and a virtuous populace. Liberty, as outlined in the Declaration of Independence, includes unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Thomas Jefferson defined liberty as unobstructed action within the bounds of others' equal rights, emphasizing just laws to maintain order, though noting governments naturally encroach on liberty over time. Influenced by Locke, Jefferson saw law as a tool to promote freedom. Finally, Rep Bryon Donalds calls in to explains that he reintroduced the DC CRIMES Act to assert congressional control over Washington, D.C.'s sentencing policies, prohibiting local officials from altering sentencing laws and limiting leniency for young offenders.  Law and order needs to be restored. He also explains that if NYC elects Zohran Mamdani if would be worse than Bill de Blasio. Mamdani is good on TikTok but he's an economic illiterate. Learn more about your ad choices.
