When India and Pakistan gained their independence from Britain, a border was drawn between the two new countries. The split started a chain reaction of violence that led to one of the largest forced migrations in human history. More than 1 million people died in the tragedy. Both countries are now approaching 75 years of independence, and the people who were there to remember it are reaching their twilight years. This may be our last chance to hear directly from the eyewitnesses who lived through the victory of independence and the subsequent tragedy of partition. National Geographic Explorer Sparsh Ahuja has been documenting the stories of people who were forced from their homes during partition and is bringing them back to their ancestral home—if not in person then through virtual reality.  For more information on this episode, visit natgeo.com/overheard. Want more? To learn more about Sparsh Ahuja's work and to hear more interviews with survivors of partition, take a look at the website for Project Dastaan. The end of British colonial rule birthed two sovereign nations—but hastily drawn borders caused simmering tensions to boil over. Read about how 75 years later, memories of partition still haunt survivors, and see on a map where those borders were drawn. Also explore: India struggled under British rule for more than 200 years, not always peacefully. Read about India's first war of independence and the Indian rani (queen) at the center of it all. You've probably heard of Mahatma Gandhi, the nonviolent leader of the Indian independence movement, but how much do you know about him? We've put together an explainer about his life and ideas.

According to the United Nations, at the end of 2021, 89.4 million people around the world had been forced to flee their homes as a result of persecution, conflict, human rights violations or other events. Among them are nearly 27.1 million refugees. Kim Chakanetsa talks to two women from Afghanistan and Zimbabwe about having to leave their country. Hajira Zaman is 29 years old and left Afghanistan in November 2021. She'd been working in a dentist's clinic when the Taliban entered the clinic and told her she couldn't work with a male doctor – unless she took her husband, brother or father with her. After threats from the Taliban she, her husband and young son fled the country. Hajira was nine months pregnant and had her baby shortly after arriving in Pakistan. Nyasha Masi is a refugee from Zimbabwe living in Cape Town. She was abused by her family for being gay and forced into marriage. She made the devastating decision to leave without her three year old daughter and escaped to South Africa. She now works with the charity Safe Place International and has set up her own group for LGBTI+ refugees called Pachedu. Her daughter (now a teenager) has joined her.

Gold and copper mining company Barrick has taken the lead in integrating the various aspects of environmental, social and governance (ESG) to ensure holistic and objective measurement, Barrick CE Dr Mark Bristow stated on Monday, when the New York- and Toronto-listed company reported strong second-quarter operating performance that generated $169-million free cash. Barrick has launched a sustainability-linked credit facility, progressed its Scope 3 emissions reduction roadmap, received an award for the best community health outreach programme at North Mara mine in Tanzania, completed public hearings for Pueblo Viejo's new tailings storage facility, and improved year-on-year water reuse and recycling Bristow highlighted critical ESG scrutiny and sustainability disclosures as intensifying in a climate of scepticism about ‘greenwashing'. Reviewing the quarter, which supported an unchanged dividend payout of $0.20 a share, Bristow said that Barrick's annual industry-first sustainability scorecard continued to report the group's performance transparently against a wide range of standard metrics, enabling the company to take the ESG lead. “There are challenging times ahead, but Barrick faces them with strong and agile leadership, a robust balance sheet, solid life-of-mine plans, reliable cash flow and a strategy focused on sustainability and value creation,” added Bristow in a release to Mining Weekly. A stronger second-quarter performance across the portfolio has kept Barrick on course to achieve its yearly gold and copper production guidance while continuing to progress its key growth projects. Better-than-first-quarter gold production of 1.04-million ounces – driven by Carlin and Turquoise Ridge in the US, Veladero in Argentina, and Bulyanhulu and North Mara in Tanzania – is expected to grow further in the second half of the year. Copper production came in at 120-million pounds and the copper portfolio is delivering with growing prospectivity. During the quarter, $182-million in shares were repurchased and remaining Kibali gold mine surplus cash repatriated from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Gold and copper production guidance remains and growth projects progressed, including the Pueblo Viejo expansion project in the Dominican Republic, which has the potential to extend mine life beyond 2040, with an average production of 800 000 oz/y. In Nevada, the Goldrush production timetable is expected to be confirmed in the first half of 2023, while in Pakistan, finalisation of the Reko Diq project agreements are under way on what is one of the world's largest undeveloped copper/gold deposits, with first production expected in 2027/28. “On the back of our strong operating performance, we are once again able to provide a leading dividend yield to our shareholders, whilst still maintaining a strong balance sheet,” said CFO Graham Shuttleworth. “We believe this continues to show the benefit of the dividend policy that we announced in February 2022, including the guidance it provides to our shareholders on future dividend streams,” added Shuttleworth. EXPLORATION STRENGTHENED Barrick is continuing to expand its global exploration footprint with a strengthened team. In North America, the search has extended from Nevada to Canada. The intensified exploration drive in Latin America has led to an entry into the Guiana Shield. In Africa and the Middle East, new projects have been initiated in Zambia, Tanzania and Egypt and the new Asia Pacific exploration team is making progress in Japan. “Our geological teams now have strength in depth and we're building a pipeline of high-potential managers and technical specialists. The highly experienced new appointees are already driving significant change and this renewed energy and focus is already delivering robust results,” said Bristow. The Tanzanian government has recognised Barrick as its largest 2021 revenue contributor. Since taking control of North Mara and Bulyanhulu in September 2019, in-cou...

Afghanistan exploded with violence over the weekend as several different bombings ripped through the country, including the capital of Kabul. The targets for these attacks were once again the minority Shia's who are gearing up for one of the holiest times for their religion. Meanwhile, members of the TTP (Pakistani Taliban) were killed in a roadside attack that took the life of three top members of the group.

Much of our conversation with Dr. Paul D. Miller is about his recent book THE RELIGION OF AMERICAN GREATNESS: WHAT'S WRONG WITH CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM. Over the course of our talk, we do a deep dive into the very definition of Nationalism and Christian Nationalism; the difference between tribal evangelicalism and biblical Christianity; how jazz was used as an example by Rich Lowry of National Review to make an argument FOR Nationalism that Dr. Miller then uses to make quite a thorough argument AGAINST Nationalism; the particular chauvinism of Christian Nationalists; the blasphemy of the insurrectionists who invoked God's name in the midst of a terrorist attack on January 6th; and, yes, we did talk about what Professor Miller meant when he said he would not want to live in a country where drag queens were barred by law from going to the library or hosting an event.  Dr. Miller is a political theorist and political scientist focusing on international affairs, the American experiment, and America's role in the world. Previously, he spent a decade in public service as Director for Afghanistan and Pakistan on the National Security Council staff under both President George W. Bush and President Barack Obama. He was also an intelligence analyst for the CIA and a military intelligence officer in the U.S. Army. He is currently a Professor of the Practice of International Affairs at Georgetown University. He is also a research fellow with the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission and a visiting professor with the American Enterprise Institute's Initiative on Faith and Public Life. Dr. Miller writes widely on international affairs, political theory, religion and public life, and film and culture. In addition to his most recent book, The Religion of American Greatness, he is also the author of Just War and Ordered Liberty; American Power and Liberal Order; and Armed State Building. More of his writing has appeared in the Washington Post, The New Republic, Mere Orthodoxy, The American Interest, The World Affairs Journal and quite a few other publications. Dr. Miller holds a PhD in international relations and a BA in government from Georgetown, and a master in public policy from Harvard University. https://www.pauldavidmiller.com/ https://www.amazon.com/Religion-American-Greatness-Christian-Nationalism-ebook/dp/B09MSNPQZ4/

In this role, he supports evidence-based urban economic policy reforms across Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia, mainly on public finance and governance. These have included collaborations with policymakers in Afghanistan, Uganda, Pakistan, and Zambia on a range of policy questions — such as on property tax design in Punjab and informal settlements in Lusaka. Shahrukh has also co-authored a variety of policy-focused papers, including on urban governance, transport, public-private partnerships, and taxation in developing countries. He also advises public policy projects such as the UK Government's Global Future Cities Programme.

On this week's Stumped with Isabelle Westbury, Jim Maxwell and Charu Sharma, how did Pakistan's women go from having never played an international match to the Commonwealth Games in the space of 25 years? We'll find out the answer from journalist and author, Aayush Puthran, who has written a book on the subject. We'll also discuss whether the world's best cricketers could soon be contracted all year round by Indian Premier League franchises and what the impact of that would be on the international game. Plus we reflect on the career of West Indies star Deandra Dottin after she announced her international retirement.

Welcome back to the Wednesday News Show this week we discuss the latest comp news from Arco, Alex Megos is putting up new first ascents in Céüse and we bring you all the details from the latest ascents in Pakistan…

On Saturday, US President Joe Biden announced that the United States had killed Ayman al-Zawahiri, current emir of al-Qaeda and longtime deputy to Osama bin Laden, in Kabul (Afghanistan). Zawahiri's death raises questions about the succession and the relevance of al-Qaeda in the current terrorist threat landscape, as well as Afghanistan's role following last year's rushed exit by Western forces. In this episode, Lucinda speaks with Hans-Jakob Schindler, the Senior Director at the Counter Terrorism Project. From 2001 until 2005, Hans headed the federal government of Germany's team investigating al-Qaida in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Central Asia. Between 2005 and 2011, Hans held the position of First Secretary Political Affairs and Liaison to the Security Forces at the German Embassy in Tehran. Acting as a special advisor to the ambassador, he led the embassy's crisis management team during the 2006 and 2009/10 disturbances in Iran.

The targeted killing of al-Qaeda chief, Ayman al-Zawahiri, by an American missile in Kabul on July 31 has raised many questions about the possible impact of this assassination. It comes nearly 11 years after the U.S. took out al-Zawahiri's boss, Osama bin Laden, in a ground operation in Abbottabad, Pakistan. A point of interest in both killings is that bin Laden and al-Zawahiri were hiding in plain sight in cities – one Pakistani and the other Afghan. Will this lead to a weakened al-Qaeda, unable to engage in terrorist actions abroad? Will the killing give a boost to al-Qaeda offshoots like the Islamic State? Was the Taliban giving shelter to al-Zawahiri in Kabul or did they tip the Americans off about his presence? Will the Taliban now get further isolated? Guest: R. Kumar, who retired as Special Secretary from India's external intelligence agency, the Research & Analysis Wing (R&AW), and spent long years working on counter-terrorism and Pakistan-related issues. Host: Amit Baruah, Senior Associate Editor, The Hindu. Edited by Ranjani Srinivasan

When the US-Taliban accord was signed that led to the abrupt pullout of the US from Afghanistan, there were 4 annexes that were signed but were not released.

Quelles peuvent être les conséquences de la mort d'Ayman al-Zawahiri au Sahel ? Le chef de l'organisation terroriste al-Qaïda a été tué le week-end dernier dans une frappe américaine. Si Aqmi n'est plus aussi forte que par le passé, elle s'est en revanche très fortement implantée au Sahel au cours des dernières années. Éléments de réponse de Guillaume Soto-Mayor, chercheur associé au centre africain d'études pour la paix Timbuktu Institute, et spécialiste des groupes jihadistes et du crime organisé au Sahel. Ayman al-Zawahiri était l'un des principaux architectes de la stratégie d'al-Qaïda au Sahel : quelles sont les principales lignes qu'il avait édictées ? Guillaume Soto-Mayor : Ayman al-Zawahiri a donné effectivement une ligne claire de l'action d'al-Qaïda en Afrique de l'Ouest et en Afrique en général, et ses principes d'action étaient respectés à la lettre. Dès qu'il y a eu un élément qui a dévié de cette ligne directrice, il a été sévèrement rappelé à l'ordre. Pour rappeler très rapidement ces différents principes clés de la stratégie al-Qaïda dans la zone : c'est une implantation qui est respectueuse des traditions à la fois religieuses et tribales, c'est-à-dire que c'est un respect également des structures de pouvoir local. On est dans une logique de jihad défensif dans lequel on vient répondre à l'appel des communautés musulmanes qui font face à une oppression d'un État ou d'un envahisseur extérieur. Le deuxième, c'est un principe de réalité, important chez al-Qaïda partout dans le monde : prendre en considération les capacités réelles des katibas, des différents bataillons d'al-Qaïda, c'est-à-dire qu'on adapte la stratégie à la force de l'ennemi en face. L'autre élément, c'est qu'on concentre les efforts contre les croisés, contre les potentats locaux qui sont perçus comme étant oppressifs, corrompus et soutenus par des puissances étrangères. Donc c'est, encore une fois, une concentration de l'action contre un ennemi que sont les représentants d'États occidentaux et le représentant d'un État qui est vu comme illégitime. Enfin, un point fondamental qu'a prôné Ayman al-Zawahiri dans l'expansion d'al-Qaïda à travers l'Afrique, c'est d'encourager autant que possible une unification des moudjahidines sur le continent. Ce respect des pratiques islamiques locales, au moins dans un premier temps, pour pénétrer les territoires et s'allier les populations, est une spécificité d'al-Qaïda. Est-ce que c'est ça la principale différence avec la stratégie du groupe État islamique, au Sahel ? Vous avez tout à fait raison. C'est une des différences majeures, cette relation aux populations civiles et à l'utilisation de certaines jauges de violence. Il y a une forme d'indiscrimination dans l'utilisation de la violence côté État islamique, sur laquelle al-Qaïda est capable d'avoir plus de nuances avec cette logique de pénétration des territoires, avec des populations avec lesquelles elle tente de s'allier sur le long terme. Est-ce que la mort d'Ayman al-Zawahiri affaiblit Aqmi, la branche sahélienne d'al-Qaïda ? En réalité, al-Qaïda au Maghreb islamique a été créé par Ayman al-Zawahiri, avec le soutien de quelques autres grands leaders d'al-Qaïda central qui ont contribué, aux côtés d'Abdelmalek Droukdel au début des années 2000, à ériger un premier bataillon d'al-Qaïda en Algérie, puis un deuxième qui, dès le départ, était réfléchi comme devant étendre l'action d'al-Qaïda vers le Sahel. Et ce bataillon, à l'époque, était dirigé notamment par Mokhtar Belmokhtar. Mokhtar Belmokhtar avait connu sur une brève période de temps Ayman al-Zawahiri au Pakistan. Et cette connaissance personnelle du leader d'al-Qaïda central conférait un statut à Mokhtar Belmokhtar, une indépendance, une autonomie, y compris vis-à-vis du leadership d'Aqmi et auprès également de Droukdel, qui le jalousait d'ailleurs sur cette connaissance personnelle du leader d'al-Qaïda central. C'est là où on voit vraiment l'importance de cette validation par le leadership d'al-Qaïda central de l'action conduite par Aqmi à travers toute l'Afrique de l'Ouest. Al-Qaïda est une structure verticale, dans laquelle il existe une choura centrale, une choura ensuite au niveau d'al-Qaïda au Maghreb islamique en Algérie, puis ensuite différentes chouras également au niveau du Jnim (Groupe de soutien à l'Islam et aux musulmans, ndlr), au niveau sahélien. Et ce sont donc ces différentes chouras qui garantissent la continuité de l'action d'al-Qaïda. Donc, je ne pense pas, en résumé, que ça va provoquer une quelconque déstabilisation significative de l'action d'al-Qaïda au Maghreb islamique. Vous avez parlé d'Abdelmalek Droukdel, ancien chef d'Aqmi tué au Mali par l'armée française il y a deux ans. Depuis c'est un autre Algérien, Obeida Youssef al-Annabi qui a pris la tête d'Aqmi. Il était proche d'al-Zawahiri ? Vous avez aussi parlé du Groupe de soutien à l'Islam et aux musulmans (Jnim), dirigé par le Touareg malien Iyad Ag Ghaly. On sait quelles étaient ses relations avec lui ? La connexion existait effectivement, je vous l'ai dit, entre Ayman al- Zawahiri et Abdelmalek Droukdel. Elle est beaucoup plus difficile à définir sur son successeur. Al-Annabi est un vétéran du jihad algérien, il a donc vraisemblablement eu des formes de communication avec Ayman al-Zawahiri, notamment au moment de sa nomination. Pour autant je ne peux dire, et je serai très prudent sur le fait d'affirmer qu'il avait une quelconque forme de connexion personnelle avec le leader d'al-Qaïda central. Pour ce qui est d'Iyad Ag Ghaly, c'est nettement plus improbable qu'il ait connu Ayman al-Zawahiri : les communications sont hiérarchisées, et donc la connexion d'Ayman al-Zawahiri avec un niveau comme celui d'Iyad Ag Ghaly passait davantage par le biais de leaders d'Aqmi côté algérien, qui supervise l'action d'al-Qaïda à travers l'Afrique de l'Ouest.   Sur le dialogue, sur les négociations entre les groupes jihadistes et les gouvernements locaux, on pense notamment au Mali. C'est une question qui revient régulièrement, est-ce qu'al-Zawahiri s'était prononcé sur le sujet ? Ayman al-Zawahiri a toujours eu la même position vis-à-vis des négociations à travers le monde. Ces négociations doivent toujours permettre d'avancer le projet d'al-Qaïda, le projet d'accession au pouvoir sur un territoire d'Islam. Il n'est pas question de faire des compromis sur le plan idéologique, par exemple sur l'implantation de la charia et de la Sunna, sur lesquelles aucun compromis ne peut être fait. Il peut y avoir en revanche des compromis locaux, en fonction des réalités du conflit et de l'évolution des rapports de force à un niveau local. Guillaume Soto-Mayor est aussi l'auteur de l'article Jihadistes en Afrique : des hors-la-loi sans religion ?, publié par la revue Le Grand Continent en mai 2022.

Australian cinematographer Jules O'Loughlin's path to movie making was a long journey. After graduating from the prestigious AFTRS- Australian Film Television and Radio School- he worked steadily and shot a wide range of films and TV shows including the action movie The Hitman's Bodyguard, the series Black Sails, the horror movie Krampus and the children's film Come Away. His recent work on two series, The Old Man and Ms. Marvel, show off his ability to visually transport audiences to other worlds. The FX action spy series The Old Man began shooting in the fall of 2019. Jeff Bridges plays Dan Chase, a retired CIA agent whose old enemies are still hunting him. The series is very well acted, with great dialog scenes between Bridges and John Lithgow. Jules believes that as a cinematographer, it's important to tread softly, be respectful and give the actors space to work without technical distractions. Jules shot two episodes of the series, with a planned location shoot in Morocco which was standing in for Afghanistan. But in March of 2020 the entire production shut down because of the pandemic. After a few months, production resumed and the desert around Santa Clarita, CA became the Afghanistan location. Unfortunately, shortly after that, Jeff Bridges, who actually did a lot of the fight scenes himself, was diagnosed with lymphoma. Bridges' stunt double stepped in and the VFX team used some digital face replacement for certain parts while he was undergoing treatment. Despite all the setbacks, The Old Man has been a hit and is coming back for a second season. The Disney+ series Ms. Marvel is about young Pakistani-American teen Kamala Khan, who discovers she has super powers after putting on a magic bracelet. The show is energetic, vibrant and colorful, reflecting Kamala's personality and South Asian culture. Jules and director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy knew they could create a slightly different look for episodes four and five, since they take place in the Pakistan city of Karachi. Obaid-Chinoy is an Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker, and she and Jules chose to use more handheld cameras to explore the story's historic narrative as Kamala travels through time to learn more about her family's past. Ms. Marvel has brought an enthusiastic younger audience who are responding to Kamala's cultural identity. In Pakistan. Ms. Marvel is showing in movie theaters, since Disney+ is not available. Jules is currently working on Percy Jackson and the Olympians for Disney+, which involves some new challenges using LED screens on the soundstage. Find Jules O'Loughlin: https://www.julesoloughlin.com/ Instagram: @jules.oloughlin The Old Man is on Hulu and Ms. Marvel is available on Disney+. Both shows are currently streaming all episodes.

As the British Raj crumbles, old animosities begin to stir in the subcontinent's communities. Mohandas Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru face a formidable new adversary in the form of Muhammed Ali Jinnah, who calls for the creation of a separate Muslim nation - Pakistan. Hindu-Muslim tensions, fueled by political polarization and corrosive rhetoric, explode into sectarian violence during the Great Calcutta Killing of August 1946.  Sources: Akbar, M.J.

Major Gaurav Arya talks to Sanjay Dixit about the dual rule in Pakistan and West Punjab after PTI's Pervaiz Elahi becomes Punjab CM, and Economy, Army, and Afghanistan playing truant.

A deeply compelling and funny coming-of-age novel about a teenaged girl's life-changing journey from Pakistan to America, and the challenges of a debilitating illness. On a year-long exchange programme in rural Oregon, sixteen-year-old Hira must swap Kashmiri chai for volleyball practice and understand why everyone around her seems to dislike Obama. An unforgettably witty narrator, Hira finds herself stuck between worlds. The experience is memorable for reasons both good and bad; a first kiss, new friends, racism, Islamophobia, homesickness. Along the way Hira starts to feel increasingly unwell until she begins coughing up blood, and receives a diagnosis of tuberculosis, pushing her into quarantine and turning her newly established world upside down.
