First, we speak to The Indian Express' Arun Janardhanan about how the upcoming Tamil Nadu Assembly Election is shaping up differently this time, with a fragmented, multi-cornered contest replacing the traditional DMK vs AIADMK binary. Next, we turn to the ongoing crisis in West Asia, where Pakistan has emerged as a key intermediary between the US and Iran. The Indian Express' Diplomatic Affairs Editor Shubhajit Roy explains how this mediation role evolved, what it signals for regional diplomacy, and how it affects India's strategic interests. (16:15)And in the end, we look at a rare conservation breakthrough, as a Great Indian Bustard chick is born in Gujarat for the first time in a decade, offering hope for the revival of one of India's most endangered species.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 102-points this morning from Friday's close, at 33,009 on turnover of 8.4-billion N-T. The market slumped on Friday, closing down 225-points, or 0.68-per cent, after Wall Street had its worst day since the start of Donald Trump's Iran war over growing doubts about a de-escalation and oil prices have gained more than 1-per cent Cancer treatment cost NHI record NT$156 billion in 2025 The National Health Insurance Administration says National Health Insurance spending on cancer treatment rose to a record 156.7-billion N-T last year. That was an increase of 26.5-billion N-T from 2020. According to the administration, the number of patients seeking cancer treatment increased to 970,104 in 2025, reflecting an average annual increase of 5-per cent over the past five years. Data shows breast cancer accounted for the largest number of cases. The administration says the rising costs are mainly driven by Taiwan's aging population and expanded cancer screening programs, reflecting increased health investment and improved access (通路) to care. CWA warns of aftershocks from Pingtung earthquake The Central Weather Administration's Seismological Center is warning of possible aftershocks over the coming week following Sunday's magnitude 4.7 earthquake the rattled (使慌亂，使緊張) the south Sunday morning. That quake was centered some 29-kilometers south-southeast of Pingtung County Hall at a depth of 23-kilometers and was felt across parts of Pingtung, Taitung, Kaohsiung, Tainan and Chiayi. According to the Seismological Center, the quake could result in aftershocks of between magnitudes 4 and 5 on the weather administration's intensity scale. The center says the quake was caused by the Eurasian Plate subducting beneath the Philippine Sea Plate along Taiwan's Chaozhou Fault zone. Trump Fine with Russia Delivering Oil to Cuba US President Donald Trump says he has “no problem” with a Russian oil tanker off the coast of Cuba delivering relief to the island, which has been brought to its knees (使陷入困境，打敗) by a U.S. oil blockade. Trump told reporters as he flew back to Washington, that "they have to survive". Tracking data shows the oil tanker carrying approximately 730-thousand barrels of oil, was just off the eastern tip of the island on Sunday night and slated to land in the city of Matanzas by Tuesday. Trump has effectively cut Cuba off from key oil shipments in an effort to force regime change. Island-wide blackouts have roiled Cubans already grappling with years of crisis, and lack of gasoline and basic resources has crippled hospital and slashed public transport. Iran warns the US against a ground invasion as regional powers meet in Pakistan Iran threatens the US as Pakistan says it will host talks between the countries in a bid to broker an end to the war. AP correspondent Julie Walker reports Egypt Imposes Early Closing to Cut Energy Costs Egypt is imposing early closing times for shops, cafes and restaurants to cut oil use as energy prices surge (猛漲的) during the war. The rules were enacted nationwide Saturday and are forcing most businesses to shut by 9 p.m. for a month. The government is also dimming (使變暗) streetlights and advertising. Offices in the capital close by 6 p.m. Some civil servants work from home one day a week. Prime Minister Mustafa Madbouly says Egypt faces soaring import costs for fuel. Tourist areas are exempt. That was the I.C.R.T.

From its birth in seventh-century Arabia, Islam has been a faith on the move. In Worlds of Islam: A Global History (Basic Books, 2026), James McDougall explores its origins and transformations from Late Antiquity to the digital age. Over the span of a thousand years, armies, missionaries, and merchants carried it to the edges of Europe, the coasts of Southeast Asia, and the remote interior of China. By the nineteenth century, Islam encompassed a world of great diversity, from Muslim-ruled empires to nations where Muslims lived out their faith among many others. In the twentieth century, while monarchs in the Gulf asserted dynastic privilege and fundamentalists in Egypt and Pakistan preached social morality, revolutionaries from Algeria to Indonesia fought for national self-determination, and activists in North America and Europe campaigned for civil liberties and social justice. As empires fell and new superpowers rose, Muslims proved to be as adaptable and dynamic as modernity itself. Sweeping and authoritative, Worlds of Islam narrates the epic story of how Muslims emerged as a community, built empires, traversed the globe, came to number in the billions, and became modern. James McDougall is a Professor of Modern and Contemporary History and a Fellow of Trinity College, University of Oxford. He previously taught at Princeton and at SOAS, London.

Today, Les, Jess, Amy, and Jamie unpack Pakistan's reemergence on the global stage as a potential intermediary in the U.S.–Iran conflict. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has taken an active role in negotiations, with President Trump appearing open to Islamabad playing a larger diplomatic role. The outreach includes high-level engagement between U.S. officials and Pakistan's military leadership, signaling a possible reset after years in which U.S. ties with India sidelined the relationship. Pakistan has also joined the Board of Peace initiative and is leaning into a dealmaking approach that aligns with the administration's style, even as it maintains strong economic ties with China and a history of balancing between competing powers.Is Pakistan a credible broker in the Iran conflict, or simply playing both sides as it has in the past? What does this renewed engagement mean for U.S. relationships with traditional partners like India? Why is Washington turning to nontraditional partners at this stage of the conflict? And should Congress demand greater clarity on what, exactly, the administration is offering Islamabad in return for its role?Check out the answers to these questions and more in this episode of Fault Lines.@nottvjessjones@lestermunson@amykmitchell@msjamiejacksonLike what we're doing here?

We used to be shocked by this. Hundreds of thousands displaced, millions affected, whole communities washed out. But somewhere along the way, extreme weather events have become background noise.This week, Christiana Figueres, Tom Rivett-Carnac and Paul Dickinson explore what it means to live in a world where extreme rainfall, displacement and repeated flood damage are no longer rare shocks but part of a rapidly changing climate reality. Last year alone, Southern Africa, Pakistan, Brazil, South Sudan, and many other countries were devastated by catastrophic flooding. We reflect on the scale of the global crisis, the lives upended, and the huge economic losses that too often go uninsured.Then Paul speaks with Louis Ramez, co-founder of Flooded People UK, about what happens when flooding stops being just a weather event and becomes a political force. They discuss the growing toll of flooding in the UK, from mental health impacts to rising insurance costs and falling property values, and ask what collective action looks like when communities are forced to confront climate damage on their own doorsteps.As the front lines of climate change move ever deeper into the Global North, will governments finally respond with the urgency this crisis demands? And can the devastation that flows from climate impacts help rally a social movement for change?Learn More:About flooding in the UK…

In this March 26 episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Alpha Warrior focus heavily on Ukraine-related funding, alleged financial pipelines, and how that ties into U.S. politics. The show opens with discussion around intercepted communications involving Ukrainian officials, reportedly referencing a plan to route money toward Joe Biden's reelection efforts, with involvement tied to agencies like USAID. The hosts question the depth of that operation and whether it reflects a broader system rather than an isolated incident. They expand into the Ukraine funding pipeline overall, connecting it to entities like Burisma, NGO networks, and what they describe as “smurfing” operations through groups like ActBlue. The conversation centers on how U.S. taxpayer money sent abroad may be cycled back through NGOs and international programs, including references to funding initiatives in places like Pakistan. The discussion also touches on Zelensky's role, the timing of political developments surrounding Donald Trump, and how legal and political actors, such as Mark Elias and Perkins Coie, fit into the broader ecosystem being described. There are also brief mentions of global connections involving countries like China and Iran within these financial and legal networks. Throughout the episode, CannCon and Alpha Warrior frame the conversation around whether these overlapping elements point to a coordinated system of influence involving foreign aid, political campaigns, and institutional actors.

El presidente Donald Trump, durante una reunión con sus ministros, ha dicho que EEUU se convertirá en la peor pesadilla de la república islámica si las autoridades iraníes no aceptan el plan de paz de 15 puntos que les han enviado a través de la mediación de Pakistan. Sobre lo que contiene el plan en sí no hemos conocido más detalles, aunque el negociador principal de Trump, Steve Witkoff, ha confirmado su existencia y que se ha hecho llegar a Teheran.El secretario general de la OTAN, Mark Rutte, ha ofrecido algunos datos sobre el gasto en defensa de los países miembros de la Alianza Atlántica. Enseguida se lo vamos a contar.También lo ocurrido en la segunda audiencia del juicio al expresidente venezolano Nicolás Maduro, la sentencia histórica que ha conseguido una joven en Estados Unidos que pone de manifiesto los peligros de las redes y la reforma a la política migratoria de la Unión Europea.Estaremos en Alemania porque el gobierno se está viendo presionado para endurecer la legislación contra la violencia digital y en Francia que despide a su ex primer ministro Lionel Jospin que murió el pasado lunes a los 88 años.

This week on Hacking News, we're covering five stories that all share one theme: the things we trust most are the things being targeted. Cisco disclosed two CVSS 10.0 vulnerabilities in their Secure Firewall Management Center — the centralized brain that manages entire firewall fleets — giving unauthenticated attackers root access. Pakistan-linked APT36 has turned AI coding tools into a malware assembly line, flooding Indian government networks with disposable "vibeware" variants in a strategy Bitdefender calls "Distributed Denial of Detection." Google dropped the largest Android security update in almost eight years — 129 vulnerabilities — including a Qualcomm zero-day already under targeted exploitation across 234 chipsets. A China-linked threat cluster called UAT-9244 is burrowing into South American telecom infrastructure with three brand-new malware families spanning Windows, Linux, and edge devices. And LexisNexis confirmed a cloud breach after a threat actor exploited an unpatched React app and found the database password was...

In this episode of Holy Disruption, host Heather Schott and co-host Jasmine Weiler sit down with Pastor Chris Donald — evangelist, Mercy Culture pastor, co-founder of 33rd Company, and director of Mercy Culture Spiritual Leadership School — to talk about what God is doing in the nations right now, and what the American church needs to wake up to. Chris shares his radical conversion story, his heart for local and global missions, and why evangelism and discipleship were never meant to be separated. From baptizing thousands in Fort Worth to sharing the gospel with ISIS, to a Muslim family in Pakistan encountering Jesus — this conversation will wreck you in the best way.

Fatima Bhutto is an acclaimed journalist and novelist. She is the author of the novels The Runaways and The Shadow of the Crescent Moon. Her nonfiction works include New Kings of the World and Songs of Blood and Sword. Fatima Bhutto's new book is The Hour of the Wolf: A Memoir. Her essays and other work have been featured in New Statesman, The Daily Beast, The Guardian, and The Nation. Fatima's life has been shaped by political violence. She is the granddaughter of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, the Pakistani prime minister arrested and executed in the 1970s. She is the niece of Benazir Bhutto, twice prime minister of Pakistan before being assassinated in 2007. Her father, Murtaza Bhutto, was killed when Fatima was just 14 years old. Fatima counsels that yes, this dystopic world is profoundly broken — but we need to find solace, community and strength from one another to make it a better place. She warns that ignoring injustice and evil only provides the illusion of temporary safety and that we must confront such dark forces even if it is terrifying and comes at a great cost. Fatima reflects on the ethics of bringing new life into such a broken world and the importance of healthy relationships, love, and community. Chauncey does some public thinking about why everything feels so much harder right now. The Age of Trump. The war and destruction in the Middle East. The Orwellian assault on reality and truth. And why we have no choice but to endure and soldier on. He ponders whether we are lost and spinning in the Twilight Zone and draws on Rod Serling's wisdom to find his way out. And he shares Fintan O'Toole's essential new essay on Donald Trump as the Mad King and his war against Iran. WHERE CAN YOU FIND ME?

The Asian Development Bank's Chief Economist Albert Park tells us that the conflict in the Middle East could prove 'traumatic', knocking as much as 1.3% of Asian GDP growth, depending on how long it goes on for. He believes that the countries most vulnerable include Sri Lanka, Maldives, Laos, Bangladesh and Pakistan. Meanwhile the price of jet fuel has more than doubled since the start of the war with Iran, with numerous major airlines raising their prices. Jetstar New Zealand cancelled some domestic services and flights between Australia and New Zealand. Vietnam Airlines also scrapped almost a two dozen domestic flights a week. And why shares in the Chinese toy-maker Pop Mart – who make Labubu Dolls – have tumbled more than twenty percent…their biggest drop in nearly a year.

In this episode, host Michael Brown discusses the latest developments in the Middle East, specifically the ongoing conflict between the US and Iran. He breaks down the Trump administration's 15-point cease-fire plan and its implications, as well as the deployment of US troops to the region. Michael also shares his thoughts on the Iranian leadership's response, including their skepticism of the US and their own military capabilities. He also touches on the economic and diplomatic aspects of the situation, including the impact on global oil prices and the role of Pakistan as an intermediary.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Final Prayer | Sri Isopanisad 15 - 18 | ISKCON Pakistan | Svayam Bhagavan Keshava Maharaja by Wisdom That Breathes by Keshava Maharaja

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) Iran kept up missiles and drone attacks on Arab Gulf states and Israel overnight, after the US floated a proposal to end a war that’s wreaked havoc across the Middle East and in global markets. Saudi Arabia intercepted a drone in the east of the country, while a strike targeting Kuwait set ablaze a fuel tank at its main airport. Iranian media said more missiles were fired at Israel. There were no reports of casualties in any of the incidents. The US sent Iran a 15-point plan, which Pakistan delivered, according to people familiar with the matter, highlighting the urgency within the Trump administration to resolve the conflict it started as the economic toll mounts. The details remain unclear, though President Trump has publicly signaled that any peace agreement would have to include a prohibition on Iran ever obtaining a nuclear weapon or enriching radioactive material for civilian purposes. Iran has yet to comment on the proposal. Trump, when he first announced talks with the Islamic Republic on Monday, implied he hoped to get an agreement by Friday. That may be difficult given the wide gaps that remain between the sides, with several Iranian officials saying the country isn’t ready to negotiate and that Trump is merely trying to calm markets and push down oil prices.2) A system designed to help air-traffic controllers monitor vehicles and airplanes on the ground failed to alert personnel at LaGuardia Airport before an Air Canada Express jet collided with a fire truck late Sunday evening, killing the two pilots. An analysis found the system, known as ASDE-X, issued no alert to the two controllers in the tower due to “the close proximity of vehicles merging and unmerging near the runway,” US National Transportation Safety Board Chair Jennifer Homendy said during a press conference on Tuesday. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey fire truck involved in the crash also wasn’t equipped with a transponder that would have helped pinpoint its location, Homendy said. The Federal Aviation Administration last year encouraged airports with ASDE-X to voluntarily equip their vehicles with special transmitters to “improve airfield safety.”3) Senate Democrats have rejected the latest offer from President Trump and Republicans to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security and end a lengthy shutdown that has snarled airport security checkpoints and threatened to ripple through an economy already roiled by the Iran war. The Republican plan does not include any of the policy proposals Democrats have insisted on in their fight to overhaul Immigration and Customs Enforcement tactics following the killings of two protesters in Minneapolis by agents earlier this year. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer told reporters his party would send a counter-offer to Republicans, which would include changes to immigration enforcement.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 2022, Thomas Bukowski took a risk that felt personal and professional by applying to The North Face athlete development program and pitching himself as a climber worth betting on. As a queer athlete from Hong Kong who found climbing later than most, he has long carried the feeling of being an outsider, then watched that narrative shift when he earned a place on The North Face climbing team. Since then, he has chased fear into major climbs in Argentina, Alaska, and Pakistan, and in 2024 he pushed into trail running by running the 211 mile John Muir Trail in four days.

The democrats have talking points. Senators and congresspeople spread those talking points, some better than others. Chuck Schumer lays a giant egg on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" and even co-host Mike Brzinski can't save him. A deal to end the war with Iran sounds close as peace talks are set for later this week in Pakistan. And a fascinating first-person take on why the madness at JFK over the weekend reflected a level of dysfunction that looked a lot like the government when democrats are in charge.

Sources tell the FT that Pakistan is positioning itself as the lead mediator trying to broker an end to the US's and Israel's war against Iran, and the US ambassador to the EU says the bloc must implement its trade deal with the US or risk losing its “favourable” access to liquefied natural gas shipments from American exporters. Plus, carmakers are panic buying aluminium because of the Middle East conflict, and some Israeli opposition parties are being surprisingly hawkish on Iran.Mentioned in this podcast:Pakistan steps up as go-between in Trump's Iran crisisUS warns EU to pass trade deal or risk losing ‘favourable' access to LNGCarmakers rush to secure aluminium as Middle East war hits supplyBenjamin Netanyahu's rivals compete to outdo him over IranNote: The FT does not use generative AI to voice its podcasts Today's FT News Briefing was hosted and edited by Marc Filippino, and produced by Victoria Craig and Sonja Hutson.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. US bureau chief Jacob Magid joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. Following the bombshell announcement from US President Donald Trump that the US is engaged in talks with Iran on terms for ending the war, Magid discusses the potential for a deal and Trump's five-day postponement of threatened US strikes on Iranian energy sites. Magid reports on the various mediators, including Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt... and Vice President JC Vance, seen as a key US administration figure who wants this war to come to a swift end. The Gulf states, by contrast, are not necessarily interested in a rapid conclusion that leaves the regime in power, notes Magid, as diplomats from several Gulf countries have indicated that they seek generational damage as opposed to de-escalation. The IDF's former top Iran researcher, Danny Citrinowicz, told Magid last week that Iran isn't about to give up its ostensible right to enrich uranium, and that diplomacy would be needed in addition to the military campaign. Is he being vindicated? Finally, Magid discusses the wait for a Hamas response to a new disarmament proposal for Gaza. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Naz Shah has been the MP for Bradford West since 2015, after a battle with George Galloway's Respect Party, but her personal journey into politics is remarkable. Naz was born in Bradford but sent to Pakistan at the age of 12, to escape the attentions of her mother's abuser. Then when she was 20 her mother was convicted of his murder. For years Naz looked after her younger siblings, while campaigning alongside Southall Black Sisters for her mother's release and was instrumental in achieving a reduction in her mother's jail term. She joins presenter Kylie Pentelow to discuss her story as she publishes her memoir Honoured: Survival, Strength and My Path to Politics.Have you heard about the ‘alpine divorce' trend? Women on social media are describing it as an extreme style of breakup in which a man leaves his partner stranded during a hike or outdoor adventure. Jo Hemmings, a Behavioural Psychologist and Relationship Counsellor, and broadcaster and author Mary-Ann Ochota discuss this troubling new relationship trend and how women can feel safe while navigating the outdoors.The Anti-discimination charity Kick it Out has received 131 reports of sexist incidents at football matches from the start of the men's season until the end of February this year. That's more than double than for the same period last season, with comments to female fans including, 'What do you know about football? You should be in the kitchen getting your husband's tea." We discuss why this sexism is increasing and what can be done about it with BBC Sport senior journalist Sally Freedman, who's written a book about her expereinces, and Sarah Collins, head of Safeguarding at Stockport County Football Club.
