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.

Si les armes se sont tues, la guerre de l'information, elle, se poursuit entre New Delhi et Islamabad.

Après 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. À l'instant où le cessez-le-feu aérien, terrestre et maritime a été annoncé, la bataille numérique entre l'Inde et le Pakistan n'a pas baissé en intensité. Au contraire, les comptes de propagande ont rapidement réorienté leurs narratifs autour de deux axes : la glorification de l'action de leur armée et l'humiliation de l'adversaire. Pour y parvenir, différents modes opératoires sont employés, du simple montage photo au deepfake sophistiqué.La guerre des deepfakesÀ ce jour, de nombreux politiques indiens et pakistanais en ont fait les frais, à commencer par le Premier ministre indien, Narendra Modi. Dans une vidéo d'une minute et treize secondes, on pense l'entendre présenter ses excuses, en hindi, au peuple indien : « Le Pakistan nous a complètement détruits. Notre économie s'effondre. Aucun investissement n'est à venir. Les marchés sont déserts. (...) Nous avons essayé de faire la guerre. Mais maintenant, nous réalisons que nous avons commis une grave erreur. Je présente mes excuses ». En réalité, Narendra Modi n'a jamais tenu ces propos.Cette vidéo a été générée via l'intelligence artificielle. L'analyse visuelle du mouvement de ses lèvres, ainsi que les détecteurs d'IA que nous avons utilisés, le confirment. C'est un deepfake, un hypertrucage audio et visuel. La voix du Premier ministre indien a été fabriquée de toutes pièces. À noter que le ministre des Affaires étrangères et le ministre de l'Intérieur indien ont également été ciblés par ce type de deepfake.Côté Pakistanais, c'est le porte-parole de l'armée qui en a été victime. En effet, une vidéo artificielle du général Ahmed Chaudhry a semé le trouble sur les réseaux sociaux. Durant une minute et trente-et-une secondes, on croit l'entendre reconnaître la perte de « deux avions Chengdu JF-17 ». Sauf qu'une nouvelle fois, il s'agit d'un deepfake. Ahmed Chaudhry n'a jamais prononcé un tel discours.L'extrait provient d'une conférence de presse de l'armée pakistanaise tenue le 27 décembre 2024, soit bien avant l'escalade militaire avec l'Inde. Quelqu'un a fourni ces images à une IA pour manipuler le discours du porte-parole de l'armée.La bataille des chiffresCette infox ciblant le porte-parole de l'armée pakistanaise est le symbole de la guerre des chiffres qui se joue actuellement entre les deux pays. Chaque camp publie quotidiennement des bilans concernant les supposées destructions matérielles et humaines infligées à l'adversaire.Ces données sont impossibles à vérifier de façon indépendante à ce stade. Mais pour donner de la crédibilité à ces chiffres, la propagande pro-pakistanaise a détourné l'identité de plusieurs médias occidentaux. Une infographie avec le logo de CNN affirme par exemple que l'Inde aurait notamment perdu 6 avions de combats, 553 drones et un système de défense antiaérien S400. Sauf qu'en réalité, le média américain n'a jamais publié ce tableau comparatif.Contacté par le média de vérification, Logically Facts, un porte-parole de CNN, a confirmé que « cette image est fabriquée. CNN n'a jamais relayé cette information ».Dans la même veine, un article à la gloire de l'armée de l'air pakistanaise et attribué au Daily Telegraph circule ces derniers jours sur la toile. Mais là encore, c'est une fausse information. Le Daily Telegraph n'a jamais publié une telle information.

On today's First Up pod with Melissa Chan-Green: One week til Budget Day - we put the Greens alternative budget to Labour's finance spokesperson Barbara Edmonds and ask what the party be willing to work with; we cross to Islamabad for the latest on the fragile ceasefire between India and Pakistan and in Northland, reporter Peter De Graaf tells us about an MMA champion's homecoming in Kaikohe. First Up - Voice of the Nathan!

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.

Following a deadly attack on tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir on April 22, India launched retaliatory strikes on Pakistan-held parts of the territory. New Delhi has accused Islamabad of sheltering a militant group that allegedly carried out the attack. But, after four days of intense fighting, a ceasefire deal was reached on May 10. But how long will it last, as tensions between the two neighbours continue to simmer? Will the India-Pakistan truce hold?

Après l'attentat du 22 avril dernier dans le Cachemire Indien, la réponse de New Delhi est intervenue cette semaine avec un raid de représailles mené dans la nuit du 6 au 7 mai par l'Indian Air Force. Le Pakistan affirme avoir abattu cinq avions de combat indiens, puis peut-être un Rafale de fabrication française. Si le sort des appareils indiens est incertain, Pékin observe de très près ces tensions, malgré l'annonce d'un cessez-le-feu : l'industrie chinoise fournie les forces pakistanaises. C'est un test grandeur nature pour l'industrie de défense chinoise, à même de fournir de précieux retours d'expériences. Car le Pakistan, étroitement lié à Pékin, est équipé à plus de 80 % d'équipements militaires chinois, et achète de tout : missiles, avions, drones.Islamabad affirme avoir abattu trois Rafale, un Sukhoi 30 et un Mig 29. L'utilisation possible de missiles air-air chinois PL 15 embarqués sous les ailes d'avion chinois J10C est évoquée. Un Rafale aurait possiblement été détruit, disent les experts sans certitude, mais ce serait la première fois que l'avion français est perdu en situation de combat.C'est donc l'occasion de jauger les systèmes d'armes, mais aussi la préparation opérationnelle des pilotes. Et dans le cadre de l'opération aérienne sindoor (« vermillon », en français), l'Armée de l'air indienne semble avoir été un peu légère pointe l'expert aéronautique Xavier Tytelman : « Les Indiens l'ont très clairement dit, on n'a pas attaqué et on ne s'en est pas pris aux infrastructures militaires pakistanaises. Cela veut dire que, s'il y avait par exemple de la défense sol-air pakistanaise, ils ne l'ont pas détruite. Alors que normalement; c'est un préalable quand on entre dans une situation de guerre et de bombardements. Et à partir du moment où vous êtes dans une zone dans laquelle vous êtes à portée de missile, logiquement, malgré des très bons systèmes d'auto protection, vous n'êtes pas infaillible. » À lire aussiL'Inde et le Pakistan s'accusent mutuellement de violer le cessez-le-feu conclu plus tôt dans la journéeLes faiblesses de l'Indian Air ForceL'Indian Air Force, forte sur le papier de 1 500 appareils, reste essentiellement dotée d'avions russes vieillissants, elle a aussi probablement péché par excès de confiance et manque de maitrise des nouveaux appareils Rafale acquis récemment par New Delhi.L'armée indienne ne semble pas au niveau, souligne Olivier da Lage chercheur associé à l'Iris : « Alors, la réponse officielle des Indiens, c'est "nous ne voulions pas entrer dans une logique d'escalade et donc nous n'avons pas visé les installations militaires pakistanaises". N'empêche que cela révèle aussi une sous-estimation des capacités militaires pakistanaises, qui est préoccupante. Mais clairement, l'armée de l'air indienne n'est pas capable de faire face à un conflit de très grande ampleur, ce qui n'est pourtant pas le cas aujourd'hui, et à fortiori si la Chine devait mobiliser sur sa frontière en immobilisant une partie des armes indiennes, que ce soit l'armée de terre bien entendu, mais aussi l'armée de l'air. »Deux puissances nucléairesDepuis 1947, l'Inde et le Pakistan se disputent la région du Cachemire, les escalades sont fréquentes et toujours potentiellement dangereuses.Ce sont deux puissances dotées de l'arme nucléaire. Le Pakistan est doté de près de 170 armes sol-air, ainsi que d'une composante aérienne, notamment. Les risques sont donc d'autant plus élevés qu'entre les deux nations, les doctrines divergent, rappelle Olivier Da Lage : « L'Inde s'est ralliée à la doctrine quasiment universelle de l'engagement de ne pas utiliser en premier l'arme nucléaire. Ce n'est pas le cas du Pakistan, qui considère qu'une menace conventionnelle d'ampleur de la part d'un ennemi, en l'occurrence l'Inde, qui menacerait l'intégrité du pays et ses institutions, pourrait justifier le recours à la force nucléaire. » Mais le pire n'est jamais certain, d'autant que le troisième acteur régional, la Chine, n'a aucun intérêt à un affrontement à ses frontières. « Géopolitiquement, la Chine est derrière le Pakistan et elle ne peut pas laisser un affaiblissement du Pakistan se produire au-delà d'un certain niveau, indique Olivier Da Lage. Par ailleurs, la Chine a aussi des intérêts en Inde, il y a des intérêts économiques énormes. Et enfin la frontière entre la Chine et l'Inde et instable y a eu des affrontements ces dernières années. Mais depuis à peu près un an, il y a un processus de rapprochement qui est très significatif, que la Chine ne peut pas négliger au moment où se prépare une grande confrontation, peut-être avec les États-Unis. La Chine a beaucoup à perdre dans une conflagration dans son voisinage. »Attaques et ripostes, les opérations militaires se sont intensifiées jusqu'au samedi 10 mai et l'intervention ferme de la Chine. Les deux frères ennemis ont alors accepté un cessez-le-feu avec effet immédiat.

President Trump says India and Pakistan have agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire -- after four days of cross border attacks. He said the agreement had been reached after a long night of talks mediated by the United States. Mr Trump congratulated both sides on "using common sense and great intelligence." Pakistan's foreign minister Ishaq Dar confirmed the agreement, saying Islamabad had always strived for peace and security, without compromising on its sovereignty and territorial integrity. There's been no word yet from India.Also in the programme: The Syrian Jews visiting Damascus; and the Soviet spacecraft that's fallen back to Earth.(Photo: Police officers inspect metal debris, amid hostilities between India and Pakistan, in a field on the outskirts of Jalandhar, India, May 10, 2025.

* 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.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 13-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 20,559 on turnover of 1.8-billion N-T. The market closed slightly higher on Wednesday despite market sentiment turning cautious ahead of the outcome of the U-S Federal Reserve's two-day policymaking meeting. Market watchers say many investors preferred (寧可) to stay on the sidelines waiting for the results of the Fed's meeting, but Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing attracted last ditch buying to recoup its earlier losses. Ministry halts plan to open 6 jobs categories to foreign students The Ministry of Labor has paused a plan to revise regulations that would have allowed foreign students who have graduated from Taiwan universities to work in six types of intermediate-skilled jobs. The pause comes after the ministry in March first introduced the plan to tackle (處理) labor shortages. The plan covered amendments to regulation allowing such foreign students to take employment as assistant nurses, intercity and city bus drivers and safety management system personnel, inventory clerks, cargo vehicle drivers and cargo vehicle driving assistants. The amended regulations do not include those provisions. Government says data shows pedestrian traffic accident-related fatalities dropping The Ministry of Transport says Taiwan's roads are becoming significantly safer for pedestrians - as it recorded the lowest traffic fatality rate in over six years between January and February. According to the ministry, there 469 fatalities in the first two months of this year, representing the lowest 30-day death toll since 2019. Of that number, there were 62 pedestrian-related deaths - and that's a record low since the government began tracking that specific category of traffic fatalities (死亡) in 2008. Government data terms of counties and cities, shows that Tainan saw the greatest increase in traffic-related deaths compared with last year, while Yunlin County recorded the highest increase in the number of pedestrian deaths. India-Pakistan on edge as their militaries exchange gunfire Indian army says at least one soldiers has died as gunfire and bombing continue on India Pakistan border. The region remains tense (繃緊的) a day after India fired missiles into Pakistani territory - aimed it says at terrorist infrastructure. Islamabad has now asked its army to carry out corresponding action. Ishan Garg tells us more. Venezuela Acknowledges Opposition Leaving Argentine Diplomatic Compound Venezuela's government has acknowledged for the first time that members of the country's opposition left the Argentine diplomatic compound where they had sheltered for over a year. But it has denied that their arrival to the United States occurred under an international rescue operation as characterized by the political faction and the U.S. State Department. Venezuelan Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello on Wednesday said the group's movements were negotiated with the government and further alleged that one of the six people who entered the Argentine ambassador's residence in March left the compound in August, contradicting (（與…）相矛盾) earlier statements from the opposition.

Bongani Bingwa speaks with author and journalist David Devadas, based in Kashmir, as tensions between India and Pakistan escalate once again in the disputed region. Deadly airstrikes by India on Pakistan-administered Kashmir have drawn sharp condemnation from Islamabad, which called the attack “a blatant act of war.” New Delhi insists the strikes were in retaliation for a recent gun attack that killed several Indian tourists in Indian-controlled Kashmir. In the aftermath, cross-border shelling has intensified, fueling fears of a broader conflict between the two nuclear-armed nations. David Devadas unpacks the historical context, the rising geopolitical risks, and the growing international calls for restraint. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

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 ?

As leaders across the globe call for restraint following India’s strikes on Pakistan, we speak to journalists in New Delhi and Islamabad about the mood on the ground. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Schools in Pakistan's capital Islamabad and in Punjab province have been shut, as the country says it is preparing to respond to the Indian strikes. Guardian journalist, Shah Meer Baloch reports.

AP correspondent Haya Panjwani reports on the conflict between India and Pakistan

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.

Indija je sinoči izvedla več zračnih napadov na cilje v Pakistanu. Kot so navedli v New Delhiju, gre za odgovor na aprilski smrtonosni napad na indijski del Kašmirja.

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

Cope. Estar informado. Buenas noches. Al menos ocho personas han muerto y 35 han resultado heridas esta noche en un ataque de India sobre la Cachemira de Pakistán. Según fuentes del ejército pakistaní, se habrían lanzado 24 ataques en seis localidades distintas. Por su parte, India asegura que este ataque es una respuesta al atentado terrorista sobre la Cachemira india del pasado 22 de abril, en la que murieron 26 personas y que, solo, aseguran también que se han atacado bases terroristas y ninguna del ejército pakistaní. Desde Nueva Delhi acusan a Islamabad de haber violado el alto al fuego ...

El ataque aéreo fue lanzado en la mañana de este miércoles contra puntos de "infraestructura terrorista". Pakistán niega cualquier relación con los ataques de hace dos semanas.

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.

C'est une nouvelle guerre qui menace d'éclater. Un nouvel affrontement entre l'Inde et le Pakistan, deux ennemis jurés qui s'opposent, depuis presque 80 ans, sur le contrôle de la région du Cachemire. Dans la partie indienne, des hommes armés ont tué 26 touristes, mardi 22 avril. New Delhi accuse Islamabad d'être derrière cette attaque. Un énième incident dans l'histoire des deux pays, qui a rapidement fait monter les tensions et qui fait craindre le pire entre ces deux puissances nucléaires, dans un contexte régional et mondial déjà très compliqué. Comment expliquer une situation aussi inflammable ? Jusqu'où cette nouvelle escalade va-t-elle aller ? Quel rôle peut jouer la communauté internationale ? Avec notre invité Gilles Boquérat, chercheur associé à la Fondation pour la recherche stratégique (FRS).

Po državi na predvečer mednarodnega praznika dela potekajo še zadnje priprave na večerne proslave in kresovanja. Pred praznikom se po tradiciji vrstijo opozorila glede delavskih pravic. Sindikati poudarjajo, da te niso samoumevne, ampak se je treba za njih nenehno boriti. Pomembno je tudi, da se delavci zavedajo svojih pravic. V sindikatu Mladi plus ocenjujejo, da se mladi delavci danes zavedajo svojih pravic, in to veliko bolj kot generacije pred njimi.

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.

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.

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. Cardinal Kevin Ferrell, the Vatican camerlengo announced, quote  “At 7:35 this morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the home of the Father. His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and of his Church,” unquote.  Pope Francis was hospitalised on 14th February, following complications from bronchitis and was diagnosed with bilateral pneumonia four days later.

Now, a district-wise list of “untainted” teachers of Classes IX-X and XI-XII has reached the offices of District Inspectors (DIs) of schools. A verification process has begun. The SC had found that the 2016 recruitment process by the SSC was “tainted”. School headmasters have been asked to submit a list of their teachers' names, designations, subjects they teach, transfer histories, and confirmations that the names are in the “untainted” list.A wildfire in New Jersey has forced residents to evacuate the area and shut down a stretch of a major highway on Tuesday as the wildfire grew to more than 3,200 acres, officials said.

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.

PM Modi lays a geopolitical trap that stuns both Pakistan and Bangladesh. As Dhaka demands reparations for 1971, Islamabad reels under global pressure. Meanwhile, Trump tightens the screws on China—ushering in a new global trade alignment with India at the center.
