Before becoming a No. 1 New York Times bestselling author, and one of the most widely read poets on Instagram, Nikita worked as a cleaner and carer while sharing her poetry online. She moved from New Delhi to Britain in her early twenties to study for a master's degree at the University for the Creative Arts, and felt she ‘disappointed' her parents and faced repeated rejection and misogyny in the process. In this episode, she tells Elizabeth about her unusual childhood at sea, growing up in places marked by contested borders, where bomb scares at school felt routine, and the many obstacles she faced throughout her career. She also reflects on the power of poetry to connect us, why myths still resonate today and how writing became both a form of resistance and survival.

Narendra Modi's 12 year rule of India has never looked so fragile.Weeks of protests have engulfed the country following the leak of a medical entrance exam paper, which forced nearly two million students to resit the test. Protestors hailed victory from the resignation of the education minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Saturday.On today's podcast, Hugh asks our contributor in New Delhi, Rahul Bedi, to explain the significance of the movement.What had fanned the flames, he said, was the description of unemployed young people as “cockroaches” by one senior government minister.Then, out of the ootheca hatched the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), a satirical movement that has channelled the frustrations of millions of young Indians who, in the words of Bedi, believe the country is increasingly dominated by corruption, privilege and vested interests.They're not alone.Farmers have again been protesting at the state of the rural economy. And another campaign has emerged against the government's ethanol-blended fuel policy, with some motorists arguing that petrol containing 20% ethanol reduces fuel efficiency and may damage engines.Bedi explains what these large movements mean for the strength and future of the Narendra Modi administration.

Iran warns sustained naval pressure risks wider war as Oman advances strait plan伊朗警告：持续海上施压或将引发更大规模战争，阿曼推进海峡管控方案US President Donald Trump said on Monday that "very friendly negotiations" with Iran were underway and touted the US Navy's "good blockade", even as Tehran warned that a continuous naval blockade would amount to an expansion of the war.美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周一称，美国正与伊朗进行“十分友好的谈判”，并夸赞美国海军实施的封锁举措成效良好；与此同时，德黑兰方面警告，持续海上封锁行为等同于扩大战事。Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters accused the US on Monday of threatening Iranian vessels, commercial ships and tankers in Iran's coastal and territorial waters over the past three days as part of an "illegal naval blockade".伊朗哈塔姆安比亚中央总部周一指责美国近三日在伊朗沿岸及领海水域，威胁伊朗船只、民用商船与油轮，实施非法海上封锁。"We warn that this American action is considered an expansion of war in the region," it said in a statement, adding that Iran's armed forces would respond to any threat posed by the US military.该机构在声明中表示：“我们警告，美方此举属于在中东地区扩大战争范畴”，并补充称伊朗武装部队将对美军带来的任何威胁予以回击。Trump also told US news outlet Axios that Washington was engaged in "very deep talks" with Tehran, but warned, "If they don't work out, we will go back to very strong military action."特朗普还向美国新闻网阿克西奥斯透露，华盛顿正与德黑兰展开深度磋商，但同时发出警告：“倘若谈判无果，美国将重启高强度军事行动。”Control of the Strait of Hormuz has remained a major point of contention since Iran and the US reached an interim memorandum of understanding last month, with tensions over the strategic waterway repeatedly fueling regional instability.自上月美伊达成临时谅解备忘录以来，霍尔木兹海峡的管控权一直是双方主要争端焦点，这条战略水道周边的紧张局势不断加剧，持续破坏地区稳定。Oman has proposed a joint regional mechanism for managing the strait with voluntary fees, Reuters reported on Tuesday, citing a Gulf source.路透社周二援引海湾地区消息人士消息称，阿曼提议建立区域性联合海峡管控机制，并推行自愿缴费制度。The proposal, which reportedly has regional backing, would prevent Iran from exercising sole control over the waterway. It is modeled on the Strait of Malacca, where users voluntarily contribute to navigation, environmental protection and search-and-rescue efforts.据悉该提案已获得多国支持，旨在杜绝伊朗独自掌控这条航道。方案参照马六甲海峡管理模式设计：航道使用方自愿出资，用于航道通航维护、生态保护以及海上搜救工作。Omani Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi held phone talks with his counterparts in Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Iran to discuss ways to advance "practical, fair and sustainable understandings" on navigation and supply chain flows through the strait, Oman's Foreign Ministry said on Monday.阿曼外交部周一发布消息，阿曼外交大臣巴德尔同卡塔尔、科威特、沙特阿拉伯、埃及以及伊朗外长通电话，商议如何围绕海峡通航、供应链运输达成务实、公平且具备长效性的共识。The developments follow weekend talks between Iranian and Omani officials on navigation security, transit arrangements and sovereign rights, according to Tehran.伊朗方面表示，上述外交互动的背景是：上周末伊阿两国官员已就通航安全、过境安排以及国家主权事宜举行会谈。Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is visiting Washington for his eighth meeting with Trump since the US president began his second term, which is "more than any other international leader", according to Netanyahu's office.另一边，以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡正在出访华盛顿，这是特朗普开启第二任期以来二人第八次会面；以色列总理办公室称，会面频次远超其他各国领导人。"We will discuss all the issues on the agenda, first and foremost, Iran," Netanyahu said before leaving for the US on Monday. "Naturally, our goal is to safeguard our security and also to expand the circle of peace around us."内塔尼亚胡周一启程赴美前表态：“我们将商讨所有议程议题，伊朗问题位列首位。我们的核心目标是保障以色列自身安全，同时不断扩大周边和平伙伴圈层。”Sujata Ashwarya, a professor at the Centre for West Asian Studies at Jamia Millia Islamia University in New Delhi, told China Daily that Netanyahu has little influence over when Washington launches attacks and is unlikely to use the meeting to press for it.新德里的贾米亚·米利亚伊斯兰教大学西亚研究中心教授苏雅塔·阿什瓦里亚接受《中国日报》采访时表示，内塔尼亚胡无法左右美国发动军事打击的时机，也难以借此次会晤敦促美方开战。"His purpose is to shape the terms of whatever settlement follows, which is where Israeli absence from the negotiations has cost most," Ashwarya said.阿什瓦里亚称：“内塔尼亚胡此行意在敲定后续任何和平协议的条款内容；以色列此前始终未能参与谈判，已经为此蒙受了诸多损失。”She explained that the interim US-Iran deal lacked any agreement on Israel's main sticking points: limits on Iran's ballistic missile program, preventing the rebuilding of its network of regional allies, and International Atomic Energy Agency inspections of nuclear sites.她解释道，美伊临时协议并未敲定以色列最为关切的几大分歧事项：限制伊朗弹道导弹研发计划、阻止伊朗重建地区盟友网络、允许国际原子能机构核查伊朗核设施。Ashwarya added that Netanyahu's departing remarks were "revealing".阿什瓦里亚补充说道，内塔尼亚胡临行前的一番话颇具深意，暴露了其真实诉求。A prime minister who measures a relationship in meetings cannot yet measure it in outcomes, she said.她表示：一位只能依靠会面次数来衡量双边关系的总理，尚且无法用实际成果印证两国情谊。"His stated goal also carries a second clause, expanding the circle of peace, and with Saudi normalization now attached to Washington's nuclear offer to Riyadh, that is where Israeli leverage actually sits," she said.“他宣称的目标包含两层含义，扩大和平圈层便是其二；当下沙特关系正常化事宜与美国向沙特提供核合作提议深度绑定，这恰恰是以色列手中最关键的筹码。”The two leaders want different things from the same war, she added. "Trump wants closure he can present as an achievement; Netanyahu wants Iranian recovery prevented, which is served by keeping options open."她最后指出，两位领导人对于这场冲突抱有截然不同的诉求：特朗普希望结束争端，并将停战包装成自身执政政绩；内塔尼亚胡则意图遏制伊朗国力复苏，而保留一切军事选项最有利于实现这一目的。tout /taʊt/大肆宣扬；吹捧；标榜contention /kənˈtenʃn/争端；争执；争论焦点interim /ˈɪntərɪm/临时的；过渡性的memorandum /ˌmeməˈrændəm/备忘录ballistic /bəˈlɪstɪk/弹道的leverage /ˈliːvərɪdʒ/影响力；筹码；优势

VOV1 - Nepal vừa có hai động thái mới, nhằm tạo thuận lợi hơn cho các hoạt động giao thương và đi lại với Ấn Độ.Theo quy định mới của Ngân hàng Trung ương Nepal (NRB), công dân nước này và Ấn Độ được phép mang theo các tờ tiền giấy mệnh giá 200 rupee và 500 rupee của Ấn Độ (INR), được phát hành từ ngày 9/11/2016, với tổng giá trị không quá 25.000 rupee/người khi nhập cảnh hoặc xuất cảnh Nepal.Theo giới chức Nepal, việc điều chỉnh quy định sẽ giúp tạo thuận lợi hơn cho hoạt động thương mại, du lịch và đi lại giữa hai nước. Nepal và Ấn Độ có đường biên giới mở dài hơn 1.850 km, với lượng lớn người dân qua lại mỗi ngày để lao động, học tập, kinh doanh và thăm thân. Việc cho phép mang theo các tờ tiền rupee của Ấn Độ với 2 mệnh lớn nhất, được kỳ vọng sẽ giảm bớt những bất tiện trong các giao dịch xuyên biên giới.Bởi trước đó, Nepal chỉ cho phép mang theo các tờ tiền Ấn Độ có mệnh giá tối đa 100 INR, tức khoảng 30.000 đồng của Việt Nam; trong khi các tờ 500 rupee và 1.000 rupee của Ấn Độ bị cấm sau khi New Delhi thực hiện chương trình thu hồi tiền giấy vào năm 2016. Quy định mới được ban hành sau khi Ngân hàng Dự trữ Ấn Độ (RBI) xác nhận các tờ tiền 200 rupee và 500 rupee phát hành sau đợt cải cách tiền tệ vẫn là tiền hợp pháp.Cũng nhằm mục đích tạo thuận lợi hơn cho hoạt động thương mại, du lịch và đi lại giữa hai nước, chính phủ Nepal đã đề nghị Ấn Độ công nhận Thẻ Căn cước Quốc gia (National Identity Card - NID) có tích hợp dữ liệu sinh trắc học là giấy tờ hợp lệ để công dân Nepal nhập cảnh vào Ấn Độ.Hiện nay, công dân Nepal có thể nhập cảnh vào Ấn Độ bằng hộ chiếu hoặc một số giấy tờ tùy thân được hai nước công nhận. Nếu được phía Ấn Độ chấp thuận, Thẻ Căn cước Quốc gia sẽ trở thành một lựa chọn bổ sung, góp phần đơn giản hóa thủ tục đối với người dân thường xuyên qua lại giữa hai nước.Đề xuất hiện đã được Nepal chuyển tới Ấn Độ thông qua các kênh ngoại giao và đang chờ phía Ấn Độ xem xét. Thẻ Căn cước Quốc gia của Nepal được triển khai từ năm 2018, sử dụng dữ liệu sinh trắc học và hiện được áp dụng trong nhiều dịch vụ hành chính và tài chính tại nước này.Hai động thái mới phản ánh nỗ lực của Nepal trong việc từng bước tạo thuận lợi hơn cho dòng người và các hoạt động kinh tế qua biên giới với Ấn Độ - quốc gia láng giềng có quan hệ kinh tế, thương mại và giao lưu nhân dân gắn bó lâu đời với Nepal./.Đình Nam/VOV New DelhiTiền rupee Ấn Độ, mệnh giá lớn được phép sử dụng tại Nepal.

Tens of thousands of young people in India are on the streets protesting as part of the country's “cockroach” movement. They're calling for education reform, and a bigger system change after recent university entrance exam leaks forced millions of students into rewrites — and led to several suicides. We talk to Shourya Kumar, who's been at the protests every day this week in Delhi, and Amrit Dhillon, a freelance journalist based in New Delhi, explains what this moment means for the country.

In den Strassen von Delhi protestieren zehntausende meist junge Menschen, manche in skurrilen Kostümen als Küchenschaben. Was satirisch begann, hat sich zu einer ernsthaften politischen Bewegung der Generation Z entwickelt. Auslandredaktor Daniel Rickenbacher berichtet aus Indien über die Hintergründe der Proteste, die mit den verkrusteten System, allen voran der Wirtschaft und dem Bildungssystem verwurzelt sind. Der Auslöser für den geballten Frust sind massive Skandale rund um geleakte Aufnahmeprüfungen an Universitäten und Suizide von Studenten. In dieser Folge geht es auch darum, welche Rolle Social Media und Influencer bei der Mobilisierung spielen und warum dieser Aufstand die Regierung unter Narendra Modi zunehmend unter Zugzwang setzt.

Good afternoon, I'm _ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opens lower The Taiwan Stock Exchange opened 81 points lower this morning. Opening turnover reached 6.77 billion N-T dollars. Taiwan shares followed other Asian markets lower as oil prices rose above 100 U-S dollars a barrel amid growing conflict (衝突) in the Gulf. U-S stocks also fell overnight as higher oil prices worried investors. The S&P 500 lost 1.2 percent, the Dow fell 1 percent, and the Nasdaq dropped 2.2 percent. Traffic controls possible as Noul approaches The Directorate General of Highways says traffic controls (交通管制) may be introduced on five highway sections. These include the Southern Cross-Island Highway and the East Coast Highway. The announcement comes after the Central Weather Administration issued a sea warning for Tropical Storm Noul. Noul is the 12th tropical storm of this year's season. The highways agency also activated its emergency response team (緊急應變小組) at 7 this morning. Officials said mountain roads could become blocked (受阻的、無法通行的) or damaged during the storm. Traffic controls will be changed based on the latest weather reports and road conditions. MAC to cancel citizenship of China-born organizer The Mainland Affairs Council says it will cancel the Taiwan citizenship (公民身分、國籍) of a China-born woman convicted (被判有罪的) of working for Beijing in Taiwan. Zhou Man-zhi became a Taiwan citizen through marriage in 2004. Earlier this week, the Supreme Court confirmed her eight-year prison sentence (監禁刑期) for breaking the National Security Act. The court found that Zhou tried to develop two groups for marriage immigrants in Taiwan. It said she acted for China-based organizations controlled by the Chinese Communist Party. Trump links Saudi nuclear deal to Israel ties U-S President Donald Trump says a civilian nuclear cooperation agreement (合作協議) with Saudi Arabia can only move forward if the kingdom establishes relations (建立關係) with Israel. Saudi Arabia has long refused to join the agreements without a clear path toward an independent (獨立) Palestinian state. Sagher Meghani reports. Human Rights Watch criticizes Indian police Human Rights Watch is calling on India's government to investigate police actions against student protesters in New Delhi. The group says security forces used unnecessary and excessive force (過度武力), including tear gas (催淚瓦斯) and batons, against mostly peaceful protesters. The criticism comes as Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government has offered to hold talks with protest leaders. The protesters are demanding that the country's education minister resign (辭職). India is now ranked as the country with the highest risk of civil unrest (社會動盪) on a major international index. The number of people joining protests has more than doubled over the past year. Neha Poonia reports from New Delhi. Diplomats consider removing ICC prosecutor Diplomats are preparing to vote on whether to remove the chief prosecutor (首席檢察官) of the International Criminal Court. The vote follows findings of sexual misconduct (性行為不當). The prosecutor is also banned from entering the U-S and is under U-S sanctions. The sanctions (制裁) are linked to the court's investigation of Israeli officials over the conflict in Gaza. Molly Quell has the latest. That was the I.C.R.T.

Hier mercredi encore, un rassemblement a eu lieu dans la capitale indienne New Delhi. Elle a été dispersée à coups de grenades lacrymogènes par les forces de l'ordre. « Il s'agit là du troisième jour consécutif d'affrontements entre manifestants et forces de l'ordre », écrit India Today. Le mouvement de protestation a débuté le 20 juin dernier, rappelle le média, à cause de l'annulation de l'examen passé par plus de deux millions d'étudiants qui souhaitaient faire des études de médecine. L'examen a été entaché de fraude. Les aspirants médecins ont dû le repasser, de quoi susciter la colère de la jeunesse indienne qui appelle à la démission du ministre de l'Éducation Dharmendra Pradhan. Le mouvement a pris une telle ampleur que Narendra Modi est sorti de son silence. Ce jeudi matin, le Premier ministre indien a annoncé « la création de tribunaux aux procédures accélérées pour garantir des sanctions "rapides" et "strictes" pour les personnes impliquées dans les fuites de sujets d'examen », rapporte toujours India Today. Le « parti des cafards » Ce mouvement de contestation porte un nom, le « parti des cafards ». Il est né en réaction à un commentaire du chef de la Cour suprême indienne qui « a comparé les jeunes chômeurs indiens à des "cafards" et à des "parasites" », explique le Time. Malgré la répression policière des rassemblements, le mouvement, loin de faiblir, « pourrait s'intensifier », estime le Times of India qui s'interroge : « Le gouvernement a-t-il mal évalué son impact ? » Ces manifestations « ne concernent pas un seul examen mais la lente accumulation de déception au sein de la jeunesse indienne », poursuit le quotidien. « Environ la moitié des habitants de l'Inde ont moins de 30 ans, indique El Pais. Pour eux, "l'éducation est sacrée" car l'accès aux meilleures écoles ou universités est le seul moyen "d'échapper à la classe sociale défavorisée dans laquelle ils sont nés" », précise une chercheuse interrogée par le journal. De quoi déclencher l'une des plus graves crises auxquelles Narendra Modi, au pouvoir depuis 2014, ait été confronté. Vague de chaleur à Gaza Dans la presse également, Gaza où les habitants souffrent de la chaleur. Pour le troisième été consécutif, les Gazaouis subissent un « enfer », « des conditions de vie caniculaires dans les camps de tentes », écrit le journal israélien Haaretz. La chaleur aggrave la crise humanitaire qui sévit dans l'enclave depuis trois ans. « Près d'un million de personnes vivent sous des tentes » à Gaza, soit la moitié de la population de l'enclave palestinienne. Et la situation devrait encore s'aggraver avec « des températures estivales records », 35 degrés en moyenne. « Les bâches en plastique utilisées pour construire de nombreuses tentes emprisonnent la chaleur et laissent peu de place à l'aération pendant la journée, et il n'y a aucun répit après le coucher du soleil. Les familles endurent sans électricité, ventilateurs ou approvisionnement en eau fiable. » Le site Middle East Online a recueilli le témoignage d'Ibtisam qui raconte son combat quotidien pour trouver de l'eau. Elle vit « sous une tente sur le front de mer avec sa famille » mais « doit traverser la ville de Gaza » pour trouver de l'eau potable. « Les familles font la queue pendant des heures à côté de camions-citernes délabrés pour recevoir quelques litres d'eau, avant de retourner dans des camps de tentes surpeuplés et ravagés par les maladies. » Avant la guerre, la consommation moyenne d'eau était d'environ 85 litres d'eau par personne par jour, contre à peine 4,3 litres aujourd'hui, selon l'ONG Médecins sans frontières. Au Japon, sommeil et polémique Au Japon, le rythme de sommeil de la Première ministre fait polémique. Sanae Takaichi ne dort que trois heures au maximum par nuit, parfois pas du tout, ce qui suscite un débat sur l'équilibre entre vie professionnelle et vie privée. Une polémique qui fait suite à une publication sur les réseaux sociaux à l'issue d'un week-end de trois jours, lundi était férié au Japon. Publication sur X dans laquelle la Première ministre écrit avoir passé tout son week-end à travailler, rapporte le quotidien japonais Mainichi. Mais avoir quand même réussi « à dormir cinq heures d'affilée, ce qui ne lui était pas arrivé depuis longtemps ». Un message qui a suscité des critiques tant dans la majorité que dans l'opposition car cela va à « l'encontre des efforts de réforme des modes de travail », précise le Japan Times, dans un pays où la surcharge de travail est chronique.

Reprenant une insulte d'un juge de la Cour suprême, des étudiants indiens ont lancé fin mai le « parti des cafards ». Désormais, des manifestations se déroulent tous les jours pour réclamer la démission du ministre de l'Éducation suite à des fuites massives lors d'un examen de médecine. Le mouvement, qui prend de l'ampleur de jour en jour, a notamment reçu le soutien du chef de l'opposition Rahul Gandhi. Le Premier ministre indien, Narendra Modi, s'est quant à lui prononcé pour la première fois aujourd'hui sur ce sujet. Entretien avec Sylvia Malinbaum, chercheuse, responsable de la recherche sur l'Inde et l'Asie du Sud à l'Institut français des relations internationales (Ifri).   RFI : Narendra Modi a donc fini par réagir, promettant que les responsables de ces fuites aux examens seront jugés. Le Premier ministre était-il obligé de sortir du silence ?  Sylvia Malinbaum : Alors, je dirais qu'il y a eu un tournant dans ce mouvement, puisque le mouvement ne date pas de la mi-mai. Initialement, c'était un mouvement viral sur les réseaux sociaux. Et puis, progressivement, il s'est aussi transformé en un mouvement de manifestation physique avec plusieurs milliers d'étudiants qui occupaient certains lieux à Delhi, notamment la place Jantar Mantar, et dans d'autres villes d'Inde. Et en début de semaine, on a assisté à des images choquantes de violences policières avec des policiers qui ont cherché à faire sortir les manifestants de cette place. Et ça s'est accompagné notamment de violences avec l'usage de gaz lacrymogènes, l'usage aussi de matraques, et ces images-là ont suscité une vague d'indignation importante en Inde, avec derrière un certain nombre de ralliements, dont des personnalités influentes, que ce soit des stars de Bollywood, des personnalités sportives qui ont affiché leur soutien au mouvement. Et puis également des personnalités de l'opposition, notamment Rahul Gandhi qui est venu soutenir le mouvement, qui s'est lui-même déplacé. Donc ça devenait effectivement difficile de garder le silence sur ce mouvement qui aujourd'hui rassemble près d'une centaine de milliers d'étudiants. Donc, le Premier ministre a effectivement tweeté en disant qu'il allait mettre en place des tribunaux accélérés pour garantir des sanctions rapides et sévères contre les personnes qui étaient impliquées dans la fuite des sujets d'examen, qui est quand même la revendication phare du mouvement. Mais enfin, ça reste une réponse, comme je le disais, assez tardive et quand même assez modeste face à l'ampleur du mouvement. Et le « parti des cafards » réclame aussi autre chose, il a fait du départ du ministre de l'Éducation sa priorité. Et même plus largement, il demande aussi des réformes, notamment dans le secteur de l'éducation et pour l'emploi des jeunes. Exactement. Alors le détonateur du mouvement, ce sont effectivement les propos du président de la Cour suprême de l'Inde, la plus haute instance juridique du pays, qui avait comparé les jeunes Indiens au chômage à des cafards. Mais sur le fond, ce qui a vraiment nourri cette colère des étudiants, ce sont effectivement des scandales répétés de fuites des sujets d'examens. Dans les grands concours publics nationaux et notamment en mai, il y a eu un grand concours de médecine qui a rassemblé près de 2 millions d'étudiants, qui a dû être annulé et reporté parce qu'on savait que les sujets avaient fuité. Et ça, c'est un sujet difficile. Il y a eu beaucoup d'étudiants en détresse, notamment une vague de suicides suite à cette annonce, puisqu'il faut savoir quand même que, en Inde, on a aujourd'hui assez peu d'opportunités économiques, notamment pour les emplois de qualité. Et donc les concours publics sont quand même une des voies, je dirais, honnêtes d'accès à ces emplois dans un contexte où quand même 40 % des jeunes diplômés sont au chômage. Donc, il y a une vraie crise de confiance dans le système éducatif dans son ensemble, qui est perçu comme corrompu. Et effectivement, la première revendication de ce mouvement des « cafards » aujourd'hui, c'est la démission du ministre de l'Éducation. Mais aujourd'hui, c'est une option qui n'a pas été mise sur la table par le gouvernement de Narendra Modi. D'ailleurs, le Premier ministre, qui est au pouvoir depuis 2014, est-ce qu'il a déjà eu à gérer une contestation de ce type et de cette ampleur par le passé ? Alors, il y a déjà eu par le passé certaines manifestations, notamment des manifestations contre la corruption, des manifestations aussi des agriculteurs. Mais là je dirais quand même qu'on est sur un format de manifestation assez inédit. D'abord parce que ça touche des étudiants, qui ont aussi une forme de soutien populaire dans la population indienne, parce qu'on touche à un sujet extrêmement sensible, c'est quand même l'intégrité du processus de sélection dans les concours nationaux. Donc, il y a beaucoup de familles qui sont touchées par le sujet. Et puis aussi parce que, derrière ce sujet de l'éducation, en réalité, il y a une crise de confiance qui est quand même beaucoup plus large. Ce « parti des cafards » a notamment publié un manifeste en ligne qui est en plusieurs points, et il critique un certain nombre de dysfonctionnements, notamment du système judiciaire, qui a aussi été entaché par des soupçons de corruption, avec des tribunaux qui sont quand même très engorgés. Crise de confiance aussi dans le processus électoral, il dénonce aussi l'indépendance des médias avec une concentration croissante des médias aux mains de grands conglomérats proches du pouvoir. Donc, en fait, on a une remise en cause du système politique dans son ensemble. Le « parti des cafards », ce n'est pas vraiment un parti politique en tant que tel. Est-ce que pour autant vous pensez que ça peut le devenir ? Est-ce que ces revendications peuvent aller au-delà des contestations dans la rue et sur les réseaux sociaux ? Alors pour l'instant, on parle plutôt d'un mouvement de contestation que d'un parti politique qui effectivement est structuré en bonne et due forme. Il y a aujourd'hui une volonté en interne. Il n'y a pas de leader du mouvement, ce qui rend difficile aussi une structuration. Il y a des porte-parole, il y a un fondateur. Et puis il y a une volonté aussi de rester apolitique, c'est-à-dire que c'est un mouvement qui ne se dit pas anti ou pro congrès. Il y a une action aujourd'hui non-violente, on le voit dans la rue, notamment par ces manifestations pour arriver à faire porter ces revendications. Mais on n'est pas encore réellement sur la structuration d'un parti politique. Alors, ce qui est intéressant maintenant, c'est effectivement le soutien qu'ont apporté au mouvement certains membres de l'opposition, et notamment certains parlementaires du Parti du Congrès, qui sont descendus dans la rue, qui ont manifesté, y compris devant la résidence personnelle de Narendra Modi. Certains se sont d'ailleurs fait emmener par la police. Rahul Gandhi et sa sœur, du Parti du Congrès, qui sont un peu les chefs de file de l'opposition.   À lire aussiInde: le «parti des cafards» maintient la pression sur le gouvernement en occupant le centre de New Delhi

Tens of thousands of young protesters poured on to the streets of India's capital, New Delhi, this week amid an explosion of anger over the country's education system and youth unemployment. The protesters are supporters of the Cockroach Janta party, which started as an online joke but has quickly become an unexpected challenge to the powerful rightwing government of Narendra Modi. Nour Haydar speaks to the Guardian's south Asia correspondent, Hannah Ellis-Petersen, about what's behind India's growing protests

Men än så länge tycks det vara lång väg kvar innan man kan nå fram till kliniska studier på människor.Vid Amity Institute of Phytochemistry and Phytomedicine,AIP&P, i Noida utanför New Delhi i Indien, har man stora framtidsvisioner för vad växtbaserade medel kan leda till. Där räknar man med att Kina och Indien tillsammans kommer att stå för en mångmiljard omsättning för alternativa mediciner.På WHO:s nybildade centrum, Global Traditional Medicine Center, GTMC i Jamnagar i Gujarat i Indien, arbetar man samtidigt för att skapa regler och standarder som gör att traditionell medicin ska kunna integreras i konventionell vård.Utmaningarna är många, från finansiering av studier till att bygga broar mellan konventionell medicin och traditionell medicin.Reporter: Annika Östmanannika.ostman@sr.seProducent: Lars Broströmlars.brostrom@sr.se

A mass gathering at Jantar Mantar and a march towards Parliament in New Delhi saw protesters demand Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation over the NEET paper leak controversy. The removal and transfer of activist Sonam Wangchuk from the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protest site to hospital has further fuelled debate. As social media remains sharply divided, SBS Hindi spoke with academics, members of the Indian diaspora in Australia, students at the protest, and a journalist reporting from the ground to explore what demonstrators are calling for and how the events unfolded.

The government is considering allowing Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) and Overseas Citizens of India (OCIs) to subscribe to the National Pension System (NPS), as part of a broader push to attract foreign capital into India. The move follows a series of recent measures by the Government and the Reserve Bank of India aimed at improving dollar inflows and strengthening the rupee. The policy push comes amid headwinds from rising crude oil prices and foreign portfolio investor outflows linked to geopolitical tensions in West Asia. As of June 2026, assets under management under the NPS stood at ₹17.27 lakh crore, with state government employees accounting for the largest share, followed by central government employees, the corporate sector and individual subscribers. Maruti Suzuki to hike prices by up to ₹30,000 across models from August India's largest carmaker, Maruti Suzuki, has announced a price increase of up to ₹30,000 across its vehicle portfolio beginning August 2026. The company said the decision has been driven by the continued rise in input costs. According to a regulatory filing, the extent of the price hike will vary across models. The increase is intended to partially offset higher production expenses, reflecting the pressure automakers continue to face from escalating material and manufacturing costs. WTO urges India to deepen trade reforms as New Delhi flags global trade barriers The World Trade Organization has called on India to accelerate reforms aimed at reducing trade costs, simplifying regulations and strengthening integration with global markets. The recommendation was made during India's eighth Trade Policy Review at the WTO. While acknowledging India's strong economic growth trajectory, the WTO Secretariat said achieving the country's Viksit Bharat 2047 vision would require addressing structural challenges such as regulatory complexity, infrastructure gaps and high trade costs. India, meanwhile, highlighted growing geopolitical tensions and rising non-tariff barriers as key obstacles affecting its export potential.

VOV1 - Chính quyền Tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump đã phát tín hiệu ủng hộ dự luật trừng phạt Nga mới, có thể mở đường cho việc áp thuế quan lên tới 500% đối với hàng hóa từ các quốc gia tiếp tục mua năng lượng của Nga, trong đó có Ấn Độ.Trả lời phỏng vấn hãng tin ANI của Ấn Độ, một quan chức Nhà Trắng cho biết, Tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump ủng hộ Dự luật do Thượng nghị sĩ đảng Cộng hòa Lindsey Graham và Thượng nghị sĩ đảng Dân chủ Richard Blumenthal đồng bảo trợ, trao cho Tổng thống Mỹ quyền áp đặt các mức thuế quan thứ cấp rất cao đối với các nước giao dịch với ngành năng lượng Nga nếu Moskva không đạt được thỏa thuận chấm dứt xung đột tại Ukraine.Theo nội dung dự luật, Tổng thống Mỹ có thể áp thuế lên tới 500% đối với hàng nhập khẩu từ các quốc gia tiếp tục mua dầu, khí đốt hoặc uranium của Nga. Nếu được Quốc hội thông qua, đây sẽ là thẩm quyền áp thuế thứ cấp rộng nhất mà Quốc hội Mỹ từng trao cho một Tổng thống nhằm tác động đến hoạt động thương mại của các nước thứ ba.Thượng nghị sĩ Lindsey Graham trước khi qua đời vào ngày 11/7 từng nhiều lần nhấn mạnh mục tiêu chính của dự luật là gây sức ép lên các khách hàng lớn nhất của Nga, đặc biệt là Ấn Độ và Trung Quốc. Theo ông, hai nước chiếm khoảng 70% lượng dầu, khí đốt và các sản phẩm dầu mỏ xuất khẩu của Nga, và việc cắt giảm nguồn thu này sẽ làm gia tăng áp lực kinh tế đối với Moskva.Kể từ sau xung đột Ukraine năm 2022, Nga trở thành nhà cung cấp dầu thô lớn nhất cho Ấn Độ nhờ mức giá chiết khấu sâu. Tuy nhiên, trong bối cảnh New Delhi đàm phán thỏa thuận thương mại với Washington và Mỹ gia tăng các biện pháp trừng phạt nhằm vào ngành năng lượng Nga, các nhà máy lọc dầu Ấn Độ đã giảm đáng kể lượng dầu nhập khẩu từ Nga. Theo dữ liệu của Kpler, lượng dầu thô Nga nhập khẩu vào Ấn Độ đã giảm từ khoảng 1,84 triệu thùng/ngày vào tháng 11/2025 xuống còn khoảng 1,04 triệu thùng/ngày vào tháng 2/2026.Áp lực đối với Ấn Độ càng gia tăng sau khi giấy miễn trừ tạm thời của Bộ Tài chính Mỹ cho phép mua dầu Nga mà không bị áp dụng một số biện pháp trừng phạt hết hiệu lực từ ngày 17/6/2026, khiến các giao dịch hiện nay rơi vào vùng pháp lý chưa rõ ràng.Một số chuyên gia kinh tế nhận định, nếu kịch bản áp thuế 500% trở thành hiện thực, tăng trưởng GDP của Ấn Độ có thể giảm khoảng 0,5 điểm phần trăm, trong khi các ngành xuất khẩu chủ lực sang Mỹ như dược phẩm, dệt may và dịch vụ công nghệ thông tin sẽ chịu tác động lớn nhất.Đến nay, Chính phủ Ấn Độ chưa đưa ra phản ứng chính thức. New Delhi nhiều lần khẳng định việc mua dầu của Nga nhằm bảo đảm an ninh năng lượng và lợi ích kinh tế quốc gia. Trong khi đó, ngay tại Quốc hội Mỹ, dự luật cũng gây tranh cãi. Thượng nghị sĩ Cộng hòa Rand Paul cho rằng việc trừng phạt Ấn Độ và Trung Quốc vì mua dầu Nga có thể làm xáo trộn thương mại toàn cầu và gây thêm rủi ro cho kinh tế thế giới./.Đình Nam/VOV-New DelhiHình ảnh một tàu chở dầu của Nga.

Since October 7, West Asia has witnessed a cascade of crises, from the war in Gaza, attacks on Red Sea shipping, to the fall of the Assad regime in Syria, and direct military confrontation between Israel and Iran. Together, these events have reshaped the region's geopolitical landscape. For India, the stakes are particularly high. New Delhi has spent years cultivating close ties with Israel, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and other Gulf states while pursuing a policy of strategic autonomy and multi-alignment. But as rivalries sharpen and instability becomes more persistent, can India continue to balance relationships with competing powers? Or does this new regional reality demand a rethink of its long-term strategy?

After losing Amazon accounts, brands, and $700K in inventory, one seller reveals how he rebuilt to 7 figures, and the costly mistake other sellers should avoid.   ► Watch The Podcasts On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Helium10SeriousSellersPodcast?sub_confirmation=1 ► Instagram: instagram.com/serioussellerspodcast ► Free Amazon Seller Chrome Extension: https://h10.me/extension ► Sign Up For Helium 10: https://h10.me/signup  (Use SSP10 To Save 10% For Life) ► Learn How To Sell on Amazon: https://h10.me/ft   What happens when an Amazon seller goes from nearly hitting $10 million in annual sales to almost starting from zero? In this episode of the Serious Sellers Podcast, Bradley Sutton welcomes back Swapneel Jain, an e-commerce entrepreneur from India who built a multimillion-dollar Amazon business, lost access to key accounts and brands, and then found a way to rebuild back to seven figures. Swapneel's journey started long before his Amazon success. While studying law in New Delhi, he was already selling online on eBay and other Indian marketplaces, sourcing products such as memory cards and pen drives from suppliers in China. What began as a small arbitrage side hustle eventually grew into a serious business, helping him pay for school and fund his lifestyle. Later, he expanded into Amazon private label, took some painful early losses, and eventually launched products during COVID that helped him scale into the millions. But the real turning point came when a brand registry issue spiraled into a major Amazon nightmare. After trying to help a friend with a listing issue, Swapneel's accounts were flagged for brand abuse, resulting in him losing access to multiple brands. Then, a separate inauthentic complaint tied to reselling Logitech products led to more suspensions across connected accounts. By early 2025, he had lost aged Amazon accounts, major sales momentum, and nearly $700,000 in inventory he could not remove. Instead of letting that be the end of his story, Swapneel started again. He rebuilt with greater diversification, less risk tied to a single person or structure, and a sharper focus on inventory management, supplier relationships, and products with longer life cycles. His message to sellers is simple but powerful: setbacks are not the end unless you stop moving. The faster you decide to restart, the faster you give yourself a chance to win again.

Bill Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft and a leading global philanthropist, withdrew from delivering his scheduled keynote address at the India AI Impact Summit in New Delhi just hours before he was set to speak. The Gates Foundation issued a statement saying the decision was made “to ensure the focus remains on the AI Summit's key priorities,” and Ankur Vora, president of the foundation's Africa and India offices, delivered the address in his place. Gates had been initially confirmed and was in India ahead of the event, which was designed to position India as a hub for artificial intelligence development and governance.The sudden cancellation came amid heightened scrutiny over Gates's past interactions with the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein after recently released U.S. Justice Department documents included emails involving Gates Foundation staff and Epstein. Although Gates denies any impropriety and says he regretted associating with Epstein, the controversy drew significant attention in Indian media and public debate in the lead-up to the summit. Some commentators linked the timing of his withdrawal to that controversy, even as summit organizers and Indian officials did not directly tie the decision to the Epstein files.to c ontact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Bill Gates cancels AI summit keynote address amid scrutiny over Epstein links | CNNBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

A new youth protest movement in India that started as online satire is now staging an ongoing sit-in in New Delhi calling for the resignation of India's education minister.The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) was launched in late May by Abhijeet Dipke, a graduate of Boston University, in response to alleged comments by India's chief justice, Surya Kant, comparing unemployed young Indians to cockroaches. Dipke launched a parody political party, calling on all cockroaches to unite, which led to street protests in cities including Delhi, Pune, Jaipur and Bengaluru.The CJP latched onto mounting anger in India at a series of issues affecting exams, including the secondary school leaving exam, which has affected thousands of people and been linked to suicides. But the movement has also tapped into the anger of a generation of graduates who've done everything right but still can't find work that matches their aspirations.In this episode economist Rosa Abraham at Azim Premji University, explains how India's jobs crisis is fuelling this new youth protest movement.

In Part 3 of her Satsang, Prof. Madhu Kapani recalls very telling and insightful interactions with Bhagawan in the early years of the B. Ed Program, in the 1970s, wherein Swami personally instructed her how to integrate human values into her teaching methodology and also how to make it a part of the life and character of every student of His university. Later on, she also goes on to recount moving anecdotes of how Swami assured her parents that she was His responsibility and the multiple instances of how the sweet Lord continues to protect her and steer her through every challenge, small and big, of her life. Prof. Madhu Kapani is the former Director of Anantapur Campus of the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning and former Dean of its Faculty of Economics and Humanities.

Protestors in New Delhi, India are demanding the resignation of India's education minister.

Washington is engaging plenty with its Indo-Pacific allies these days … just not always on the things they want, and too often on things they don't. So how do savvy allies steer that relationship when the world's most powerful partner feels less predictable than ever?To find out, Ray Powell and Jim Carouso sit down with Marise Payne, Australia's former Defence Minister and Foreign Minister. Marise helped launch AUKUS and grow the Quad, and navigated the first Trump administration from both chairs. Now a distinguished visiting fellow at Stanford's Hoover Institution, Payne brings rare insider perspective on how middle powers keep America engaged and what they must build for themselves when it drifts.In a wide-ranging conversation, Payne unpacks:Why "fewer Shangri-Las, more submarines" sets up a false choice, and why showing up still mattersThe AUKUS reality check: what the shift from the "optimal pathway" means, and the social license challenge facing CanberraWhether Pillar One is now on a "suboptimal pathway," and the case for driving Pillar Two harderHow the Quad found its feet again after COVID, and why the New Delhi foreign ministers' meeting mattersReassuring a skeptical ASEAN on nuclear submarines, and the relationship-first diplomacy that made it workChina's "do as I say, not as I do" stance on Japan's remilitarizationThe contrast between leading Defence and Foreign Affairs: "straight lines" versus "grasping at wisps of smoke"It's a practitioner's masterclass in alliance management for an era of strategic uncertainty.

If you wish to support our podcast, please follow this link. Thank you! Welcome to a new episode of The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living, a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and for creating more happiness and joy in our lives. This episode was recorded live onstage in New Delhi, India, in February 2026, at the end of the pilgrimage In the Footsteps of the Buddha. Leadership coach Jo Confino was joined by Zen Buddhist nun Sister Tam Muoi and Dharma teacher Shantum Seth to discuss what it means to renew Buddhism, and Thich Nhat Hanh’s vision for doing so – including his emphasis on simplicity, equality, and making the teachings accessible and relevant to the contemporary world. They also reflect on their 14-day pilgrimage in India, and how it deepened their understanding of and connection to the Buddha’s teachings. This includes Sister Tam Muoi's insights about the strong sangha formed among the diverse group of 60 pilgrims from 16 different countries. She also reflects on her personal connection to India and her healing journey of reconnecting with the Buddha’s teachings in their land of origin. Shantum Seth, who has been leading pilgrimages in India for over 30 years, explains the transformative power of these journeys in allowing people to connect with the Buddha as a human being and experience his teachings' relevance to their own lives. He also shares plans for the Ahimsa Trust to establish a Plum Village center in India, to continue Thich Nhat Hanh’s legacy and bring the Dharma to a wider audience, especially a young one. Shantum Seth, an ordained Dharmacharya (Dharma teacher) in the Buddhist Mindfulness lineage of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, teaches in India and across the world. A co-founder of Ahimsa Trust, he has been a student of Thich Nhat Hanh's teachings for the past 35 years, and, since 1988, has led pilgrimages and other multi-faith, educational, cultural, spiritual, and transformative journeys across diverse regions of India and Asia. He is actively involved in educational, social, and ecological programmes, including work on cultivating mindfulness in society, including with educators, the Indian Central Reserve Police Force, and the corporate sector. Across various Indian sanghas, Dharmacharya Shantum is the primary teacher of different practices of mindfulness from Thich Nhat Hanh's tradition. Sister Tam Muoi (Sister Samadhi) is from the UK and was ordained in 2012 and became a Dharma teacher in 2022. Having encountered the practice whilst living in France, she became engaged in the French lay sangha and was ordained into the Order of Interbeing in 2004. She is actively supporting the recently created Being Peace Practice Centre in the UK and is deeply committed to the work of healing ancestral harm, and to participation in trainings and retreats exploring White Awareness.

I find that difficult – but I love the sitting.' And Thay would say, ‘Well, then sit. Do the practice that you enjoy.' It’s so important to touch joy in whatever practice we do. It shouldn’t be hard work and creating more battles on your cushion.” “Suffering is where we start. It’s your own suffering you have to handle. But also look at the suffering in the world. It’s not separate: other people’s suffering is your suffering; other people’s happiness is your happiness. That’s where we start. And then, know that all these things are interconnected. Nothing exists independently.” “India is a great teacher because she’s confronting you all the time. That’s why we call her Mother India, I guess. She also challenges every preconception, and so, ‘Everything you say about India, the exact opposite is also true.'” “It’s dangerous coming to India because you’re going to go back different.” “Don’t believe something just because a teacher says it, or because it’s written in scripture, or has come from centuries-old tradition. Try it. And see how you feel.” “Thay was a very revolutionary teacher because of his aspiration to make Buddhism relevant. He had seen the damage done by dogmatism, by fossilization. And so he was always thinking of new ways that we could make Buddhism appropriate.” “Our precepts – the behavioral code for all the monastics and also for the lay friends – are rewritten every five or 10 years to update them. It's quite extraordinary that Thay had the courage to do that; he faced criticism from many very traditional countries.” “Something important about the Buddha Dharma is that it is very much about what we experience in this world. We’re not talking about something which is going to happen after some sort of transcendence. And that’s why I think the Buddha Dharma is relevant to our Earth: we have to care for this little planet of ours, we have to care for our rivers, we have to care for our climate, to care for each other. And it’s not about an outcome in some past or future life; the karma happens right here and now. Every action has a result and that result can be seen in this life and in this community.” “You sit, you enjoy your breath, you get a little sense of being a Buddha for a moment. Maybe you can become a part-time Buddha, maybe a full-time Buddha. ‘Buddha' just means ‘to be awake' – and with mindfulness practice, being mindful is a type of awakening.”

The Global AI Summit just happened in New Delhi, and the message from India was clear: this country is no longer just writing code for the rest of the world. It's becoming an architect of the global AI order. Ivana Bartoletti, Chief Privacy and AI Governance Officer at Wipro and Council of Europe advisor, joins Craig Smith to unpack what that shift actually means. Her frame is the sharpest line of the episode: Europe writes the rules, the US writes the checks, and India is writing the code, in 22 languages. But she's careful to add that the AI race isn't just a technical one. It's about institutional capacity, the ability to absorb AI capability and drive it into real applications that serve real people at scale. The conversation ranges across the full landscape of AI's global moment: why companies that announced 100% AI replacement in customer service quietly had to rehire the humans they let go; why the popular narrative of "Europe regulates, America innovates" is a myth that doesn't survive contact with California's actual AI rules; and why India's strategic choice may prove to be the most durable positioning in a field where trust is becoming the scarcest resource. Bartoletti speaks from a genuinely rare vantage point: a European executive, sitting in Germany, working for an Indian company, advising the Council of Europe, watching the geopolitical AI order reorganize itself in real time.

This week on The Funny Thing About Yoga, we sit down with Chhavi Sahal, a yoga teacher, strength coach, and sleep consultant based in New Delhi, India, to explore a side of yoga that often gets overlooked.Chhavi shares how she discovered yoga at a young age through school competitions, how her teaching unexpectedly grew within her gym community, and why so many older adults began seeking out her classes. We talk about the increasing need for strength as we age, what Hatha yoga really is (beyond the stereotypes), and some of the key differences between yoga culture in India and the United States.The conversation also dives into the contrast between yoga's flashy, attention-grabbing side and the quieter, less visible practices that can be just as transformative. Along the way, we discuss keeping an open mind, challenging assumptions, and what it means to build a sustainable practice that serves you for life.A thoughtful conversation about strength, tradition, aging, and the deeper layers of yoga that don't always make it onto social media.Find Chhavi Sahal Online:Instagram @movewithchhaviWebsite https://chhavisahal.org/ Want to support our podcast?

Meet Our Guests: H. E. Serkong Tsenshap Rinpoche H. E. Serkong Tsenshap Rinpoche was born in the Spiti valley, in India, in 1984. At the age of two, Tsenshap Serkong Rinpoche II (1984 – present) pointed to the photo of the recently deceased Assistant Tutor of the 14th Dalai Lama and said, “That's me!” When he was about three years old he was recognized by His Holiness the Dalai Lama as the incarnation of Kyabje Tsenshap Serkong Tugse Rinpoche (1914-1983), who was one of the seven master debate partners to His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Rinpoche began his Buddhist studies and training at Ganden Jangtse Monastery in South India. After deciding to continue his work for the Dharma as a lay person, he completed his education at the Institute of Buddhist Dialectics in Dharamsala. On the advice of the Dalai Lama, Rinpoche completed three years of intensive study of English in Canada. Rinpoche teaches at Dharma Centers around the world, combining his experience of the study and practice of Buddhism with his acquaintance with the Western world. His fascinating teachings are full of wisdom, grace, and humor. Rinpoche feels privileged to continue the responsibilities of Tsenshap Serkong Tugse Rinpoche to teach and benefit people as much as he can. Atisha Mathur, Ph.D. Dr. Atisha Mathur was born and brought up in New Delhi, India. He pursued his undergraduate studies in Language and Literature of South Asia, with a focus on Tibetan studies, at the esteemed Orientale in Naples, Italy.

On a remote ridge in Washington sits a nine-foot pit that has no measurable bottom, swallows everything thrown into it without ever filling, plays decades-old music through any radio brought near it, and—according to those who've used it to dispose of their dead—occasionally gives the dead back, alive and walking out of the forest still wearing the collars they were buried in.
