On April 22, 2025, gunmen in the town of Pahalgam, located in the disputed region of Kashmir, killed 26 people—mostly Indian tourists. A four-day military clash between India and Pakistan ensued, bringing both countries to the brink of a full-blown war, before a ceasefire was reached on May 10, 2025. During the India-Pakistan clashes, Beijing urged both sides to deescalate and called for a “political settlement through peaceful means.” But China did not play a neutral role in the conflict. Consistent with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi's purported statement to his Pakistani counterpart that “China fully understands Pakistan's legitimate security concerns and supports Pakistan in safeguarding its sovereignty and security interests,” China reportedly provided intelligence, satellite equipment, and other forms of support to Pakistan before and during the clashes.To analyze China's role in the conflict, host Bonnie Glaser is joined by Andrew Small. Andrew is a senior transatlantic fellow with GMF's Indo-Pacific program, and author of two books on China, including “The China-Pakistan Axis: Asia's New Geopolitics,” which is now ten years old, but remains an insightful and relevant study. Timestamps[00:00] Start[01:46] China's Diplomatic Response to the India-Pakistan Clashes[05:58] Beijing's Offer of Playing a “Constructive Role”[10:56] A Testing Ground for Chinese Weaponry and Equipment[14:03] China's Cautious Approach to Sino-Indian Relations[18:10] Military Support and the Sino-Pakistan Relationship[23:44] Implications for Chinese Arms Exports[26:27] Indian and Pakistani Assessments of Chinese Involvement[30:06] Influence of US-China Rivalry on India-Pakistan Relations

Hej!W związku z napiętą sytuacją na granicy indyjsko-pakistańskiej, postanowiłem przygotować odcinek o konflikcie zbrojnym, do którego doszło między tymi państwami w 1965 roku. W najnowszym filmie wyjaśniam przyczyny sporu, sięgające głęboko w historię subkontynentu indyjskiego.Podobnie jak dziś, tak i wtedy w konflikt zaangażowane były siły z całego świata. Po stronie Pakistanu – tak jak obecnie – stanęły Chiny. Pakistańskie dowództwo wierzyło, że przy wsparciu ludności Kaszmiru zdoła przechylić szalę zwycięstwa na swoją stronę. Indyjska armia była wtedy silniejsza, ale jej przewaga nie była jeszcze miażdżąca. Islamabad zdawał sobie jednak sprawę, że z każdym rokiem ten dystans będzie się powiększał – na niekorzyść Pakistanu.Dlatego w nocy z 5 na 6 sierpnia 1965 roku setki pakistańskich komandosów, przebranych za cywilów, rozpoczęły infiltrację Doliny Kaszmirskiej. Nie zdobyli jednak poparcia lokalnej ludności. W odpowiedzi indyjska armia przystąpiła do działań odwetowych w rejonie Dżammu. Walki szybko przeniosły się w góry, gdzie doszło do intensywnych starć z użyciem artylerii i czołgów.Jeśli chcecie dowiedzieć się, jak potoczyły się dalsze losy wojny i jak doszło do największej bitwy pancernej w historii Azji Południowej – zapraszam na odcinek!

Despite opposition from clerics in Pakistan, a bill banning child marriage in Pakistan's capital city, Islamabad, has recently been passed by the National Assembly and awaits the signature of the President. Azadeh Moshiri, BBC Pakistan correspondent and Senator Sherry Rehman, who has spent more than 7 years campaigning to get it through, join Kylie Pentelow. The American folk trio I'm With Her have routinely taken time out from their individual careers to dream up songs together. On their long-awaited second album Wild and Clear and Blue, they sing about reaching into the past, navigating a chaotic present, and bravely moving forward into the unknown. They join Kylie in the studio.From displays to collections, the lack of female specimens at natural history museums shows a clear gender bias -- that's according to Assistant Director of the Museum of Zoology at the University of Cambridge Jack Ashby. Jack has written about this as part of his new book, and he joins Kylie to tell us more. Metro journalist Alice Giddings has been spat on, not once, but twice, as she was out jogging on the streets of west London. Keen to find out other women's experiences, she began an investigation, in partnership with the organisation Women's Running, to discover other women's experiences. She joins Kylie. Madeline Potter grew up in a Roma family in post-communist Romania. She's traced the history and stories of her community, as well as her own experiences and treatment across continental Europe and the UK in her book, The Roma: A Travelling History.

NEWS WEAKLY 159 – EDITORIAL EDITIONA podcast where we punch the news in the headlines… weakly.Title: The Hypernormalisation of Journalistic Jingoism Summary:A few weeks ago, India and Pakistan were one bad decision away from nuclear war. But you wouldn't know that from the news coverage. You'd think Karachi had been flattened, Pakistani generals were surrendering en masse, and Indian fighter jets had laser-blasted their way to the gates of Islamabad—if you watched Indian TV news, that is. Spoiler: none of it happened. What did happen was a masterclass in disinformation, state propaganda, media jingoism, and the dangerous, ridiculous, terrifying theatre of war-as-content.In this special editorial edition, Sami Shah takes a blowtorch to the concept of hypernormalisation—where fake news becomes realer than truth, and everyone knows it's bullshit but plays along anyway. From the USS Maine to Vietnam, from Colin Powell's slideshow to Karachi's imaginary destruction to from Pakistan's own delusions—we trace the long, painful, deeply stupid history of war narratives shaped not by fact, but by flag-waving fantasy.And we end where it matters most: here in Australia. With one last bastion against this wave of reality-denial. A flawed, bald-headed, beige-toned but vital institution: the ABC. Why public broadcasting matters more than ever. And why we lose it at our peril.Quote of the Week:“I don't know why but there needs to be a study into whether approving another season of Hard Quiz results in male pattern baldness or being bald predisposes one to approving another season of Spicks and Specks.”Support the ShowLike your news satire free-range, cruelty-free, and ad-free?Join the News Weakly Patreon at patreon.com/samishah for scripts, exclusives, and bonus content.CreditsSami Shah is a multi-award-winning comedian, writer, journalist, and broadcaster.For more: http://thesamishah.comTheme music “Historic Anticipation” by Paul MottramThis podcast is written, hosted, and produced by Sami Shah.

La voix de l'Amérique va-t-elle être réduite au silence ou instrumentalisée par des médias complotistes proches de la sphère Trump ? La diffusion de la radio VOA a été suspendue par les autorités, le 15 mars 2025, et les contrats de certains collaborateurs pourraient prendre fin dans quelques jours. L'inquiétude est palpable, chez les 1 400 employés et contractuels de Voice of America. Le démantèlement de VOA constituerait un recul important de la liberté de la presse dans le monde.  Les ultra-conservateurs américains sont-ils en train de transformer les médias publics en instrument de propagande à leur profit ? Il s'agit d'une dérive autoritaire au détriment de la liberté d'informer, estime Maud Quessard, directrice du domaine « Europe, espace transatlantique, Russie » à l'Institut de recherche stratégique de l'École militaire (Irsem) :« L'objectif premier de VOA était de lutter contre l'appareil de propagande de l'Allemagne Nazie, en 1942, par la suite, la radio va connaitre un regain d'intérêt au moment de la guerre froide, en devenant la voix du monde libre, au-delà du rideau de fer », explique-t-elle. Ces dernières années, ces médias ont notamment été employés pour documenter la guerre en Ukraine après l'invasion de la Russie. « Les premières images du conflit en Ukraine sont tournées par des équipes de Radio Free Europe et Radio Liberty », rappelle cette spécialiste de la diplomatie publique des États-Unis.Ces chaînes font partie d'un large consortium qui regroupe les médias publics américains sous la désignation U.S Agency for Global Media (USAGM). Maud Quessard souligne que « ces médias peuvent aussi financer des journalistes locaux, qui sont souvent des journalistes qui travaillent pour maintenir un certain pluralisme et donc lutter contre la parole officielle dans des régimes autocratiques ».« L'enjeu ici est celui de la liberté de la presse aux États-Unis »Par le passé, les républicains ne se sont jamais attaqués aux médias publics à destination de l'étranger lorsque le pays a connu des alternances politiques. On est de ce fait entré dans une nouvelle dimension avec la politique conduite par l'équipe Trump. Cela étant, il y a des gardes fous. « Ces médias publics à destination de l'étranger sont financés par le congrès, et leur ligne éditoriale doit être autonome, donc l'enjeu ici est celui de la liberté de la presse aux États-Unis, nous sommes face à une politisation de l'appareil d'État, mais il ne parait pas faisable que le congrès laisse confisquer par l'exécutif un média public comme Voice of America. On serait alors confronté à une dérive très importante du pouvoir de Donald Trump », conclut-elle. La désinformation au cœur des tensions entre l'Inde et le PakistanAprès une escalade militaire ayant provoqué la mort de plus de 70 personnes, l'Inde et le Pakistan ont convenu d'un accord de cessez-le-feu le samedi 10 mai 2025. Si les armes se sont tues, la guerre de l'information, elle, se poursuit entre New Delhi et Islamabad. D'un côté comme de l'autre, des comptes de propagande continuent de diffuser massivement des fausses informations afin de présenter leur pays comme le vainqueur de cette confrontation. Dans sa chronique, Grégory Genevrier s'est penché sur la « guerre des deepfakes » entre l'Inde et le Pakistan.

The confrontation between the two south Asian neighbours this month seems to have been resolved into a ceasefire. It is almost certainly only a pause of conflict, in a toxic relationship that has lasted since 1947. And the stakes have risen - both nations now have their finger on the nuclear trigger. That's why the world shudders when New Delhi and Islamabad launch a new session of vituperation or actual violence. So can the nations find a way to live together harmoniously? Phil and Roger ask Kate Sullivan de Estrada, Associate Professor in the International Relations of South Asia at Oxford University. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Trump was first to announce India-Pakistan ceasefire, even before the two neighbours. Push by Islamabad comes as Washington, in recent years, has pivoted strongly towards India.

* Pakistan launches retaliatory military operation against India Pakistan has launched 'Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos' in retaliation against India, targeting military sites in Beas and destroying an S-400 missile defence system, according to state broadcaster PTV. The strikes come after India allegedly attacked Pakistani territory, prompting Islamabad to respond with what it calls a “solid structure” of defence. India condemned the strikes, labelling them as a "blatant violation of sovereignty" and vowed to counter any further aggression. * UN: 70% of Gaza under Israeli military orders or militarised zones The UN says 70% of Gaza is now either under Israeli military control or displacement orders, severely hampering humanitarian efforts. UN spokesperson Farhan Haq criticised Israeli authorities for blocking repairs to a damaged fibre optic cable vital for communication in the region. Despite recent attempts to access fuel supplies in Rafah, the UN reports continued challenges in securing critical resources for humanitarian work. * Turkish FM Fidan: 'I was poisoned in assassination attempt' Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has revealed he was targeted in an assassination attempt involving arsenic and mercury poisoning five years ago. Speaking on 24 TV, Fidan said he was exposed to high levels of the toxic metals in a plot he linked to terrorist groups. The former intelligence chief also accused opposition parties of using information from criminal networks to undermine him, calling it a "dangerous path". * 80% tariff on Chinese goods 'seems right': Trump US President Trump has endorsed an 80% tariff on Chinese goods ahead of key trade talks in Switzerland, saying it "seems right" in a Truth Social post. Trump has already raised tariffs to 145% on Chinese imports, escalating tensions with Beijing, which has retaliated with its own levies on US goods. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is set to meet China's economic chief He Lifeng, as both sides attempt to resolve the trade standoff. *Turkish student Rumeysa Ozturk released on bail in US A US federal judge has ordered the release of Turkish PhD student Rumeysa Ozturk, who was detained for co-authoring an op-ed on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the school's student newspaper. The judge ruled Ozturk posed no flight risk and lifted travel restrictions, allowing her to return to Massachusetts. Ozturk, a doctoral student at Tufts University, had been held by immigration authorities for over six weeks.

Jusqu'où les deux pays sont-ils prêts à aller dans l'escalade ? - réalisation : Vivian Lecuivre - invités : Isabelle Saint-Mézard Professeur des universités à l'Institut français de géopolitique à Paris 8 et chercheuse associée à l'Ifri; Laurent Gayer Chercheur au Centre d'études et de recherches internationales (CERI/Sciences Po, Paris)

India has conducted what it has described as “precision strikes” in neighbouring Pakistan and Pakistani-controlled Kashmir, days after it blamed Islamabad for a deadly attack on the Indian side of the contested region that killed 26 people.At least 26 civilians were killed and 46 injured by the Indian strikes, according to Pakistani officials.The Indian government claimed that nine non-military targets had been hit, in what it called “Operation Sindoor”.The military operation by India represents yet another bloody chapter in the decades-long simmering conflict over Kashmir, often called the Switzerland of India because of its lakes, forests and snow-capped mountains.The contested nature of the territory means that Kashmir is one of the most militarised zones in the world.To understand what happened this week – and why – it's necessary to look back to 1947 when Pakistan and India became independent from Britain and when both claimed Kashmir.Shashank Joshi, defence Eeditor with The Economist magazine, explains the background and explores the fears of further hostilities in one of the world's most dangerous flashpoints.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

C dans l'air du 7 mai 2025 - Inde / Pakistan : le risque d'une guerre totale ?La crainte de l'embrasement. Suite aux échanges de tirs entre l'Inde et le Pakistan, la communauté internationale exhorte les deux puissances nucléaires à la « retenue ». Les frappes survenues la nuit dernière ont fait au moins vingt-six morts côté pakistanais, et douze côté indien. L'Inde a justifié ses frappes comme des représailles à l'attentat de Pahalgram du 22 avril dernier. Vingt-six morts avaient été dénombrés dans le Cachemire indien, région au coeur de tensions depuis 1947.Suite au 22 avril, New Delhi avait accusé Islamabad, qui avait dément formellement. Hier, l'Inde a donc « frappé des infrastructures terroristes au Pakistan ». Mais la riposte immédiate du Pakistan fait craindre une escalade vers le pire. Islamabad assure se « réserver le droit absolu de répondre de façon décisive à cette attaque indienne non provoquée ».Pendant ce temps, des images montrent que l'armée chinoise possède des barges d'invasion qui pourraient permettre à ses troupes de débarquer à Taïwan. Celles-ci ont été repérées, fin mars, dans le sud de la Chine. L'offensive de l'Empire du Milieu continue donc, et la crainte d'une invasion de Taïwan est à son maximum. Les habitants de l'île s'y préparent.Enfin, du côté de Moscou, les commémorations du 9 mai auront lieu sous les yeux de Xi Jinping, l'invité de marque de Poutine. C'est une démonstration de force militaire et diplomatique qui se préparent donc sur la place rouge. Mais Volodymyr Zelensky a affirmé qu'il ne pouvait garantir la sécurité du lieu, une menace voilée qui laisse supposer de possibles attaques de drones ukrainiens. Alors, est-on à l'aube d'une guerre de grande ampleur entre l'Inde et la Pakistan ? L'invasion de Taïwan par la Chine est-elle inéluctable ?

Casualties as India attacks Pakistan and Islamabad 'downs Indian jets' in retaliation Pakistan says India has launched strikes at six different sites, killing at least 26 people and injuring 46 more. In response, Islamabad claims its Air Force has shot down five Indian warplanes and some drones, calling the Indian attack ""cowardly and shameful" At a pre-dawn news conference in Rawalpindi, Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said India used a variety of weapons to hit six targets, resulting in 24 impact sites. He added that the strikes hit locations inside Pakistan and in Pakistan-administered Kashmir—including a mosque. It's a shame, Trump says as India launches attack on Pakistan Over in Washington, US President Donald Trump reacted to the India-Pakistan escalation by calling it ""a shame"", and said he hoped the situation would cool off quickly. Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump said they'd just gotten word of the strikes as they were walking into the Oval Office. He noted that many people expected something like this might happen, given the long and tense history between the two countries. Israeli strikes on school shelter kill 31 Palestinians In Gaza, another tragedy: Israeli strikes on a school being used as a shelter for displaced families have killed at least 31 people and wounded dozens more. According to Palestinian civil defence, the air strikes hit a school in the Bureij refugee camp, located in central Gaza. A spokesperson said it was sheltering many who had already been forced to flee their homes due to ongoing Israeli war. Germany's Merz elected chancellor in second round Friedrich Merz has been elected Germany's new chancellor after a dramatic second round of voting in parliament. The 69-year-old leader of the conservative CDU/CSU alliance secured three hundred and twenty five votes, just enough for an absolute majority, after falling short in the first round. He now heads a coalition government alongside the centre-left Social Democrats, taking over from outgoing chancellor Olaf Scholz. Turkish intelligence foils another pager bomb plot in Lebanon Turkish intelligence has reportedly foiled yet another plot involving explosive devices disguised as everyday items—this time, pagers and chargers. According to details shared by the *Sabah* newspaper, Türkiye's National Intelligence Organization, or MIT, uncovered the plot at Istanbul Airport in 2024, though the news has only just come to light. The intercepted shipment had come from Hong Kong and was headed to Lebanon. Inside were 1,300 pagers and over 700 chargers, all cleverly hidden in boxes labelled as food choppers.

India has launched missile strikes on Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir in retaliation for a terror attack last month that India accused its neighbour of backing - which Islamabad denies. But the friction between the nuclear-armed countries isn't new.     On this episode of the Sky News Daily, host Niall Paterson dissects how the world might respond to yet more tension in the region and asks why the conflict is centred around Kashmir with our defence and security analyst Professor Michael Clarke.    Producers: Soila Apparicio, Emily Hulme Editor: Philly Beaumont 

The UN Security Council held a closed-door consultation Monday to discuss rising India-Pakistan tensions after a terror attack in Pahalgam killed 26 people. The meeting, initiated by Greece and requested by Pakistan, saw calls for de-escalation and “tough questions” reportedly posed to Islamabad. Though no official statement was issued, Pakistan claimed its goals were “largely served.” UN official Khaled Khiari briefed members on the volatile situation and emphasized dialogue and peaceful resolution. The UNSC's 15 members discussed the issue amid growing concern over regional stability following the deadly attack.The Indian Army on Tuesday apprehended a Pakistani national near the Line of Control (LoC) in Poonch's Chakkan Da Bagh area, amid surging India-Pakistan tensions. Army officials said the man is under interrogation. His capture follows the recent terror attack in Pahalgam that killed 25 tourists and a local, triggering frequent ceasefire violations by Pakistan across the LoC. The Indian Army has responded with retaliatory fire as border hostilities intensify. Military officials say heightened vigilance continues along the volatile frontier, which has seen firing in multiple sectors over the past few days.Amid fears of an Indian military response to the Pahalgam terror attack, the Centre on Monday instructed northern and western states and Union Territories to test civil defence readiness. The Ministry of Home Affairs directed mock drills for May 7 across J&K, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Haryana. States were asked to activate air raid sirens, implement blackout protocols, train civilians in safety drills, and practice evacuation plans. The alert comes as cross-border tensions spike and India braces for possible retaliation, with the Line of Control witnessing daily ceasefire violations since the attack.The Supreme Court warned Indraprastha Apollo Hospital on March 25 that AIIMS may take over its management if it continues to violate land lease terms requiring free treatment for poor patients. Over 12 years, Apollo reportedly allocated only 17% of its mandated Economically Weaker Section (EWS) beds, with some years as low as 12%. The court's rebuke follows a review of internal records revealing chronic underperformance. The hospital was granted land at concessional rates with the condition of providing EWS care, a commitment it now risks losing if non-compliance continues.The Trump administration has introduced a controversial new policy encouraging undocumented immigrants to leave the U.S. voluntarily. According to The New York Times, migrants will be offered $1,000 and a plane ticket home if they choose to self-deport. Payment is issued after departure is verified through the CBP Home app. Officials claim the policy will reduce deportation costs, which typically involve locating, detaining, and flying individuals out via government resources. The policy is being framed as a cost-saving measure amid ongoing debates over immigration enforcement and border control.

UN calls on Israel to lift 'brutal blockade' of humanitarian aid to Gaza The UN has called on Israel to lift its blockade of humanitarian aid delivery into Gaza, saying blocking the desperately needed aid inflicts a "cruel collective punishment". Tom Fletcher, the UN relief chief, said that: "International law is unequivocal: As the occupying power, Israel must allow humanitarian support in. Aid, and the civilian lives it saves, should never be a bargaining chip." Fletcher also said: "The humanitarian movement is independent, impartial and neutral. We believe that all civilians are equally worthy of protection," underlining that they remain ready to save as many lives as they can, despite the risks." US urges India to avoid broader conflict after Kashmir attack US Vice President JD Vance has said that Washington hopes that India's response to the recent attack in India-administered Kashmir does not lead to a broader regional conflict. Vance said that Washington hoped Pakistan would cooperate with India to hunt down those responsible for the attack. He said that: "Pakistan, to the extent that they're responsible, cooperates with India to make sure that the terrorists sometimes operating in their territory are hunted down and dealt with. That's how we hope this unfolds. We're obviously in close contact. We'll see what happens." Deadly drone attack in Kherson, Moscow blames Kiev A Ukrainian drone strike on a market area in the Russian-controlled part of Ukraine's Kherson region killed at least seven people and wounded over 20 others, the Moscow-installed governor said. Vladimir Saldo, the region's Russian-backed governor, accused Ukrainian forces of carrying out the strike in a crowded market district in the city of Oleshky. Russia's Foreign Ministry issued a statement calling the incident a “terrorist” act and accused Ukraine of escalating the war while sabotaging diplomatic efforts. Pakistan ups diplomacy amid tensions with India Pakistani leaders doubled diplomatic efforts amid tensions with India following a deadly attack in India-administered Kashmir, according to a statement from the prime minister's office in Islamabad. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif told Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani that Pakistan condemned terrorism in all forms and manifestations, reiterating his offer for a credible, transparent and neutral international investigation into the Pahalgam attack. Sharif also met with Chinese Ambassador Jiang Zaidong in Islamabad, where the two discussed the situation in the region, thanking to China for its strong and steadfast support to Pakistan in the prevailing situation in South Asia. High technology, AI key to new world, says TEKNOFEST head The head of Türkiye's premier technology event, TEKNOFEST, highlighted that high technology and artificial intelligence (AI) are the keys to the new world, stressing that AI, when combined with the right purpose and ethical values, can provide humanity with a much better future. Selcuk Bayraktar, speaking at the opening ceremony of TEKNOFEST, emphasised that AI can enable groundbreaking innovations in health, equal educational opportunity, and countless opportunities that will make life easier. He also underscored that the country should be a global centre of attraction for technology and science in the heart of the Mediterranean.

Tension is high in Indian administered Kashmir following the killing on 22nd April of 26 civilians almost all of whom were Hindu tourists. They were visiting Pahalgam - an area often described as the “Switzerland of India”. Militants opened fire on them and in the days since relations between India and Pakistan, which both claim Kashmir in full but only administer it in part, have deteriorated. India accuses Pakistan of supporting the militants and Islamabad rejects the allegations. This is the latest attack in a decades-long dispute over the region. David Aaronovitch and guests ask what happens next and what sort of a response we are likely to see from India and also Pakistan?

It's a 48-year-old argument that's once again got nuclear-armed neighbours in a showdown and locals on both sides of the border fearing the worst. India blames Pakistan for Kashmir's worst terror attack in years: the killing of 26 tourists, with non-Muslims singled out and murdered in front of loved ones. Islamabad denies involvement. It blames New Delhi for the March terror attack on a train in Baluchistan. There, too, 26 people were killed, with the matching tolls fuelling speculation and conspiracy theories. So what did happen? Why now? And how to break the cycle of repeated tensions over Kashmir, a region carved up at independence from Britain in 1947 and whose borders remain disputed to this day?How far could it go this time? India has suspended a vital 1960 treaty that manages water use between the two neighbours, a treaty that had held through three subsequent wars. Why is this time different?Then there's Kashmir itself, which on the Indian side lost its partial autonomy back in 2019. What's changed inside the Muslim-majority region since? And what's changed on the Pakistani side after what had been a period of relative détente? Is this really a fight orchestrated by respective capitals?Produced by François Picard, Rebecca Gnignati, Juliette Laffont, Ilayda Habip.

Amnesty International accuses Israel of 'live-streamed genocide' in Gaza Amnesty International, in a report, accuses Israel of perpetrating a “live-streamed genocide” in Gaza, underlining systematic mass slaughter, starvation and ruthless displacement of Palestinians. "States watched on as if powerless, as Israel killed thousands upon thousands of Palestinians, wiping out entire multigenerational families, destroying homes, livelihoods, hospitals, and schools,""Amnesty's Secretary General Agnes Callamard said. With 1.9 million Palestinians driven from their homes, Amnesty described Israel's invasion as an “engineered humanitarian apocalypse.” Amnesty also highlights escalating violence and apartheid in the occupied West Bank. UNHCR slams UN Security Council for 'chronic failure' to stop wars The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees chief Filippo Grandi criticised the UN Security Council for its chronic failure to prevent global violence, accusing the body of neglecting its responsibility to uphold peace. "This is a season of war. This is a time of crisis. From Sudan to Ukraine, from the Sahel to Myanmar, from the Democratic Republic of Congo to Haiti, violence has become the defining currency of our age," Grandi said, pointing to escalating crises across the world. He warned that cuts to humanitarian aid are already costing lives and jeopardising millions. Grandi demanded urgent action, urging the Council to stop hiding behind diplomatic failures and take real risks to end conflict and protect civilians. Pakistan warns of imminent Indian incursion after Kashmir attack Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif warns of an imminent military incursion by New Delhi following last week's deadly attack on tourists in India-administered Kashmir. Tensions between the two neighbours have escalated, with Asif citing India's growing aggressive rhetoric. The attack, which killed 26 people, triggered calls for action against Pakistan, despite a lack of proof of involvement, while Islamabad called for a neutral investigation. While Pakistan remains on high alert, Asif stressed that nuclear weapons would only be used in self-defence. International calls for de-escalation continue, including from Türkiye and China. Liberal Party secures victory in Canada's election: projections Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberal Party has won Canada's election, according to projections from CBC and CTV News. While it remains unclear whether the party will secure a majority, Carney's team is expected to form the next government. The election saw US President Donald Trump's comments, including a suggestion of Canada joining the US, influence the race. Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre criticised Trump's interference, reaffirming Canada's sovereignty. Carney, who recently replaced Justin Trudeau, has emphasised the need for stability and calm leadership. Iberian Peninsula in chaos as power outage hits Spain, Portugal A colossal power outage plunged Spain, Portugal, and Andorra into chaos on Monday, disrupting daily life across the Iberian Peninsula. By Tuesday, Spain had managed to restore power to half the country, with a full recovery imminent. Portugal's Prime Minister Luis Montenegro hinted that the catastrophe likely stemmed from Spain, though the cause remains shrouded in mystery. European Council President Antonio Costa dismissed any cyberattack claims, but the hunt for answers continues. The unprecedented blackout also sent shockwaves through parts of France, leaving authorities scrambling for answers.

This is the Catch Up on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I am Ichha SHarmaToday is the 25 th of April and here are the headlinesAt least 25 tourists and a Valley resident were shot dead on Tuesday at a meadow near Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir in the deadliest terror attack on civilians in the country since the Mumbai 26/11 shootings. On Wednesday, India put on hold the Indus Waters Treaty, downgraded diplomatic relations with Pakistan, expelled diplomats and top defence officials from the Pakistan High Commission in Delhi, cancelled all visas granted to Pakistan nationals and directed them to leave the country in 48 hours, and shut the Attari-Wagah border after Resistance Front (TRF) is an offshoot of the Pakistan-based terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). Meanwhile, yesterday Islamabad said it “shall exercise the right to hold all bilateral agreements with India, including but not limited to the Simla Agreement, in abeyance.” The reaction from Pakistan came after the country's Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif chaired a meeting of the National Security Committee. In the first high-level visit from the White House since the inauguration of President Donald Trump in January, US Vice-President J D Vance met Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday and both sides “welcomed the significant progress” in negotiations towards a India-US bilateral trade pact, framing it as a “new and modern trade agreement.” Vance on Tuesday praised India's heritage and strategic partnership with the US, saying, “I believe there is much that the US and India can accomplish together.” Speaking in Jaipur, he noted that both nations are working toward a bilateral trade agreement based on shared priorities. Referring to past policies, Vance said, “We are not here to preach,” and highlighted President Trump's vision to “rebalance global trade” and “build a bright new world” with partners like India.Pope Francis passed away after prolonged illness in Rome today, the Vatican confirmed in a video statement.

This is the Catch Up on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I am Ichha SHarmaToday is the 24 th of APril and here are the headlinesA day after India took several diplomatic measures against Pakistan over the Pahalgam terror attack, Islamabad said today it “shall exercise the right to hold all bilateral agreements with India, including but not limited to the Simla Agreement, in abeyance.” On Wednesday, India put on hold the Indus Waters Treaty, downgraded diplomatic relations with Pakistan, expelled diplomats and top defence officials from the Pakistan High Commission in Delhi, cancelled all visas granted to Pakistan nationals and directed them to leave the country in 48 hours, and shut the Attari-Wagah border.

The PM's switch to English in a speech largely focused on the state was meant to address the world, promising that the government would “identify, trace and punish every terrorist and their backers”, and thanking all nations who stood with India at this time of grief. Modi also made a pitch for national integration beyond linguistic boundaries — the linguistic divide has been in the news for some time now — underlining that those who lost their lives spoke different Indian languages and belonged to different states and that the nation stood firm with all of them.Following a threat video by the Hindu Raksha Dal demanding that Kashmiri Muslims leave Uttarakhand on Wednesday, Dehradun police say they have amped up security and taken down 25 “inciting posts” from social media.

Trump wrote in a social media post quote “I am not happy with the Russian strikes on KYIV. Not necessary, and very bad timing,” unquote,  a day after expressing frustration that it was Ukraine's leader who was hampering peace talks on ending Russia's war in Ukraine.
