Three news stories summarized & contextualized by analytic journalist Colin Wright.South and Southeast Asian countries cope with a weekslong heat waveSummary: Portions of Southeast and Southern Asia have been enshrouded in a heat wave for weeks, charting record-high temperatures and disrupting everyday life throughout the region.Context: Cambodia saw the hottest temperatures in 170 years, clocking 43 degrees Celsius, which is about 109 degrees Fahrenheit, Myanmar hit 48.2 C (118.8 F), and Thailand reached 40 C (104 F)—though the heat index in these countries were all higher, taking into account heavy humidity levels, so in that latter case, the Thai capital Bangkok actually surpassed 50 C (122 F); some of this heat wave is being attributed to the waning effects of El Niño on normal seasonal temperature changes, while the rest is being attributed to human-amplified climate change.—The Associated PressOne Sentence News is a reader-supported publication.

Nijjar murder arrests, UCLA student journalist, Coronation scroll, Foreign interference report, Kenya flooding, Feature: Family Tree, and more.
RCMP have arrested members of an alleged hit squad for the murder of Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Police say the accused are members of an Indian gang and could be connected to three other murders in Canada. Last fall, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused the Indian government of ordering Nijjar's killing. Also: A public inquiry report says there was foreign interference in the last two federal elections, though not enough to affect who won. But the report warns: things are going to get worse. Plus: Lost and abandoned fishing gear is a huge environmental problem. Groups doing the cleanups say they will have to stop unless they get more money from Ottawa.

In this short, but highly personal episode, lawyer Sonia Nijjar tells us how she spends her time when she's not working, the challenge of Toronto winters, her life as a curious, independent child, her favorite foods, her all time favorite show, her greatest joy (her son!) and so much more. Learn what this intelligent, articulate lawyer would love to do if she weren't lawyering. Her strategy for happiness? The balance of “not letting any part of me become all of me.” This is a great episode. Don't miss it!
This month, on Inside Medical Malpractice, part three of a 4-part series on Trauma Informed Lawyering. Listen in as lawyer Sonia Nijjar, associate lawyer and director of business development and knowledge management at Neinstein Personal Injury Law Firm in Toronto tells us how dealing with medical malpractice clients at a very difficult time in their lives affect her. Knowing how very wrong things can go in healthcare led to a hypervigilance during her own pregnancy and opened her eyes to significant challenges her clients experience when interacting with the healthcare system. There's insight on how healthcare access is affected by diversity, equality and inclusion highlighting the need for cultural competence in the presence of power and privilege. Sonia shares how learning about trauma informed lawyering broadened her perspective and changed her practice, now giving credence to the experiences and trauma experienced by her clients. Sonia also shares some of the greatest insights of the trauma informed workshop, one of them being that every lawyer, at times, has felt ill equipped to deal with trauma. Additional insights? Learning to meet clients ‘where they're at' and offering a safe place to tell their story. My favorite quote; “We've got to name what we're looking at. We're looking at trauma.” This is another great episode in a fabulous series. Listen to it, talk about it, and share it!

A massive diplomatic uproar erupted in 2018 when Canada detained Huawei's chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou, who is also the daughter of the Chinese tech giant's founder, over an American warrant alleging fraud. The crisis intensified further as China, within days, arrested two Canadians — Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig — on spying charges. The Western world rallied behind Canada as it alleged the arrests of the two Michaels were nothing but Chinese retaliation. However, a report in Canada's ‘Globe and Mail' has now quoted two sources to claim Spavor is seeking a multi-million dollar settlement from Ottawa over allegations he was “unwittingly” made an espionage agent.

It's been six weeks since Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took to the floor of Parliament to announce that Canadian security agencies had evidence of credible allegations that Indian authorities had a hand in the killing of a Canadian citizen, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, on Canadian soil in June 2023. Nijjar was a well-known activist in Sikh diaspora circles but someone Indian authorities branded a terrorist.Trudeau's allegations led to a rapid downward spiral in bilateral relations between India and Canada, a spiral that shows no immediate sign of ending. To discuss these recent events—and the larger question of bilateral relations between Canada and India—Milan is joined on the show this week by Sanjay Ruparelia. Sanjay is Associate Professor in the Department of Politics and Public Administration at Toronto Metropolitan University, where he holds the Jarislowsky Democracy Chair. He is the host of the podcast, “On the Frontlines of Democracy,” and the author of Divided We Govern: Coalition Politics in Modern India.Milan and Sanjay discuss how India fits into the Canadian government's Indo-Pacific strategy, the two countries' longstanding bilateral struggles over trade and investment, and the explosive growth of the Indian diaspora in Canada. Plus, the two discuss the allegations surrounding the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, the Indian government's response, and the precarious position the Biden administration finds itself in.Episode notes:Sanjay Ruparelia, “The opportunities and challenges of courting India,” in Maxwell A.

The GZERO World Podcast takes a look at an international murder mystery that dominated headlines in September: Canada's allegation that India was involved in the assassination of Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in British Columbia in June. New Delhi has dismissed the accusation as “absurd” and demanded any evidence be released publicly, which Canada has yet to do. But the diplomatic fallout has been swift: Canada expelled the head of India's security service in Canada, and New Delhi demanded dozens of Canadian diplomats leave India. Ian Bremmer speaks with Samir Saran, President of the Observer Research Foundation, a top Indian think tank, to unpack the fallout from the shocking allegations, the history of the Khalistan separatist movement within Canada, and where the two countries go from here, given their strong diasporic and economic links. Saran also discusses the paradoxical nature of India's relationship with China and tensions on the Himalayan border, India's role in the BRICS partnership as a leader of the Global South, and the feasibility of India's ambitious goal to get 50% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030.

This week, A'ndre chats with Michael Kugelman, the Director of the South Asia Institute at the Wilson Center, on the recent diplomatic tensions between India and Canada over the assassination (on Canadian soil) of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Sikh separatist leader. We dive into Canada's allegations against India, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has accused the Indian Government of being involved in the assassination -- which the Indian Government has since denied. India has in turn accused Canada of harboring extremists supporting Khalistan separatist movement, dedicated to the creation of a separate Sikh homeland in Punjab, which turned violent in the 1970s and 1980s before being quelled by the Indian Government. Michael and A'ndre take a deep dive on that separatist movement, and why Canada has been accused of being a "safe haven for terrorists" by India. We then take a step back to assess India-Canada relations under Narendra Modi and Justin Trudeau, in addition to evaluating whether the diplomatic row will hamper U.S.-India relations -- particularly in light of reports that the United States may have provided Canada with valuable intelligence on India's alleged involvement in the Nijjar assassination.
In this episode of #GlobalPrint, ThePrint's Senior Consulting Editor Jyoti Malhotra explains why both India and Canada want to move on from the accusations and counter-accusations levelled against each other over the killing of pro-Khalistani Sikh leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
This week we discuss the alleged assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar and the Fox News Tycoon Rupert Murdoch. follow Cultre Clash: https://www.instagram.com/cultureclashcomedypod/ Join our Patreon for more exclusive content: https://www.patreon.com/cultureclashcomedy

India has stopped issuing visas to Canadian citizens amid an escalating row over the killing of Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian soil. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has called on India to cooperate with the investigation on the circumstances of Nijjar's death.
Hardeep Singh Nijjar was shot and killed outside his gurdwara in Surrey in June just after evening prayers. While the Sikh community has been urging investigators to get the bottom of what happened, it's been quiet until a bombshell announcement from Prime Minister Trudeau on Monday: Canada believes there are “credible allegations” the Indian government was behind it. Since then it's been a diplomatic firestorm. Diplomats are being pulled from both Canada and India and Canada's allies are weighing next moves. But who was Hardeep Singh Nijjar and why do some, particularly members of the Sikh community, believe the Indian government wanted him dead? Jaskaran Sandhu from Baaz News and the World Sikh Organization takes us through who Nijjar was, the reasons he feared for his life and the long-standing tensions between India and the Sikh community.

Nijjar's killing could be a provocation for someone, somewhere. But Canada's role in outing Pavan Kumar Rai is an abhorrent step.
This week, India-Canada relations hit a new low, as experts have noted. The tension escalated when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused 'agents of the Indian government' of being involved in the killing of Khalistani leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Nijjar, a designated terrorist, was fatally shot outside a Gurdwara in June of this year.The souring of relations can be traced back to Trudeau's visit to New Delhi during India's G20 presidency when, according to Trudeau, he raised Nijjar's killing with PM Modi and he said that any Indian government involvement would be unacceptable and that he sought India's support in the investigation. Trudeau told this later country's House of Commons. Subsequently, both India and Canada engaged in a diplomatic tit-for-tat, expelling each other's diplomats.In this episode, our host Dev Goswami and "Def Savvy" Abhishek Bhalla discuss the potential impact of this tension on India's relationship with Canada. They explore whether Trudeau's reaction was fair, or was it just one-upmanship.They also delve into the motives behind Trudeau's comments in the Canadian parliament. Additionally, they examine what recent figures like Deep Sidhu reveal about the state of the Khalistani movement. Despite the movement appearing dormant in India, they ponder why this incident is still causing diplomatic turmoil.The question raised at the end prompts further discussion: How far do we want to extend the ramifications of this situation?This, and much more on this episode of In Our Defence.Tune in!Produced by Anna PriyadarshiniSound Mix by Sachin Dwivedi

Baku blamed Armenian separatists for the death of the four Azerbaijani police officers and two civilians. The ex-Soviet neighbours have been locked in a decades-long dispute over the mountainous region, going to war twice in the 1990s and in 2020. *) Erdogan: Security Council no longer guarantor of international security Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said the UN Security Council no longer works to ensure global security but instead is an arena for its five permanent member states to engage in strategic confrontations. “We must build a global governance architecture that is capable of representing all origins, beliefs and cultures in the world,” he added. The effectiveness of the Security Council has been questioned in the face of recent crises, especially after Russia launched an offensive against Ukraine nearly 19 months ago. *) Canada Sikh, Muslim groups demand India cooperate with Nijjar murder probe World Sikh and other organisations have called for action after recent allegations over India's complicity in the murder of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada. Nijjar, a Sikh leader in the western Canadian province of British Columbia, was shot dead on June 18 in front of a Sikh temple in Surrey. Earlier, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau urged India to take the allegations seriously, a concern that Washington later echoed. *) Muslim leaders bash West at UNGA over Quran desecrations Muslim leaders addressing the United Nations have berated the West over burnings of the Quran, denouncing the acts protected as free speech as discriminatory. Quran desecration in Sweden sparked debate on religious tolerance and freedom of expression, with calls for deeper understanding of religious sensitivities and a rebalanced relationship between free speech and religious respect. "It has reached intolerable levels. Unfortunately, populist politicians in many countries continue to play with fire by encouraging such dangerous trends," Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said. *) Dinosaur 'Barry' up for auction in Paris An unusually well-preserved dinosaur skeleton, a Camptosaurus known as 'Barry' that dates from the late Jurassic period some 150 million years ago, will go under the hammer in Paris next month. The dinosaur, which was first discovered in the 1990s in the US state of Wyoming, was initially restored in 2000 by palaeontologist Barry James, from whom it got its name. Italian laboratory Zoic, which acquired Barry last year, has done further restoration work on the skeleton, which is 2.10 metres (6.9 feet) tall and 5 metres (16.4 ft ) long.
How a killing in Canada has caused a geopolitical crisis that is sending shock waves through India, the United States and beyond. Read more:On Monday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau alleged in a speech to Parliament that agents of the Indian government killed a Canadian citizen, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, on Canadian soil. Nijjar, a Sikh separatist leader, was killed in June in British Columbia..Trudeau's announcement led to the Canadian government expelling an Indian diplomat. India denied the allegations and expelled a Canadian diplomat in return. Canada has called upon its allies to publicly condemn the killing, just as countries including the United States are hoping to bolster their relationship with India in hopes of fending off China. The Post's South Asia correspondent Karishma Mehrotra walks us through how we got to this geopolitical crisis and what it means for India's global relationships.

This afternoon, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told the House of Commons, and all of Canada, that this country has credible evidence that India was behind the killing of a high profile Sikh leader in BC in June. This evening we're re-sharing with you an episode we published in June, a few days after the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a well-known community leader and pro-Khalistan activist who the Indian government had previously accused of terror offences. There were questions when it happened about if the Indian government could have been involved in his death. Canada now says it has answers. This episode explores his murder, his life, and his potential targeting by the Indian government.-----------------------------ORIGINAL SHOW NOTES:Nine days ago, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, was killed in a targeted daylight shooting in a crowded area outside of a Sikh temple in Surrey, BC. Nijjar was a well-known community leader and pro-Khalistan activist who the Indian government has previously accused of terror offences— allegations he vehemently denied.His activism and controversial past have spawned many theories about who may have done this and why, but more than a week after his death, the public has seen little evidence to substantiate those rumours. Meanwhile, a community is in mourning, and they took to the streets on Sunday to demand answers.So what, if anything, can we say for certain at this point? And could this horrific crime spark further violence?GUEST: Sonia Aslam, reporter, CityNews Vancouver
Killings of Khalistanis in recent weeks raise the obvious questions about possible Indian state involvement.
Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Gurduwara leader and Khalistani separatist advocate, was gunned down in his car just outside his temple last week after evening prayers. Now, as investigators search for two suspects and a possible motive, some in the Sikh community are saying they think the Indian government could have been behind it. The killing comes after similar murders of Sikh leaders over the past year in Canada and abroad. Independent journalist Gurpreet Singh joins us to talk about who Nijjar was, why he was afraid for his life and how this incident could impact the separatist movement and the greater Sikh community.
