In this episode, Asim, Amrita, and Sujoy revisit the cult chaos that is Jaani Dushman: Ek Anokhi Kahani (2002) — the film that somehow managed to combine Terminator, The Matrix, Nagina, and 2000s melodrama into one glorious fever dream. From Armaan Kohli's muscle suit to Raj Babbar's “religious Voltron” pendant, no absurdity goes unexamined. The team breaks down how this film became a cornerstone of “so bad it's good” Bollywood, complete with CGI skeletons, ghost revenge plots, and a cast that includes everyone from Sunny Deol and Akshay Kumar to Sonu Nigam and Rambha. Expect unfiltered laughter, film trivia, and several “why did we watch this?” moments.

Mahmud Durrani, a long retired Pakistani Major General, was taken away at 84 last week by the heart condition he had dealt with for more than four decades.  As Pakistan's NSA, barely five weeks after 26/11, he emphatically told the media that Kasab was indeed a Pakistani and it made no sense to hide that truth. Durrani was made to resign immediately.    In this edition of #FirstPersonSecondDraft, ThePrint Editor-In-Chief Shekhar Gupta recalls his conversation with Mahmud Durrani & how he pursued his peacemaking.    https://theprint.in/opinion/first-person-second-draft/mahmud-durrani-general-shanti/2775854/

Pakistan's Military Calculus: Jailing Imran Khan to Disintegrate His Party Hussein Khan (Ambassador Husain Haqqani) Ambassador Husain Haqqani explains the Pakistani military's rationale for keeping Imran Khan imprisoned despite his status as a former Prime Minister. Khan faces various lawfare charges brought by the government, but the underlying strategy is political rather than judicial. The military's calculus is that Khan's party lacks alternate leadership or a succession plan, unlike Pakistan's traditional dynastic parties. Since Khan serves as the sole rallying point and the party stands primarily for good governance under his leadership, the military believes that prolonged imprisonment will cause the party to fade or that Khan will become too old to lead effectively when released.

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with author and host of Maiden Mother Matriarch podcast, Louise Perry. We delve into confronting some of the most pressing cultural and political divides in the West today, particularly in Britain.We unpack the rise of gender polarisation, exploring why young women are shifting sharply leftwards while young men drift right. Louise explains how class, marriage, and maternal instincts shape political identity, and why progressive ideologies around immigration, transgenderism, and abortion have often harmed the very women they claim to protect.From the Pakistani grooming gangs scandal and elites' betrayal of Britain, Louise exposes uncomfortable truths about class contempt, cultural fear, and why working-class women are bearing the brunt of progressive experiments.We also discuss the legacy of the post-war consensus, fears of fascism, and how politics has taken on a new quasi-religious dimension for younger generations.This fearless conversation explores women, class, progressivism, immigration, and the dangerous myths shaping our future.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Watch the extended conversation here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/p/louise-perry-civil-war-elite-betrayal?r=18lfab-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters0:00 Introduction 1:12 Impact of Progressive Policies on Women8:46 Class and Gender Polarisation9:57 Religious and Compassionate Instincts in Progressive Politics30:33 Class and Political Polarisation44:45 The Role of Media and Social Media in Political Polarisation45:49 The Future of British Politics and Society 1:13:46 The Challenge of Assimilation and Integration1:19:00 Welfare State and Its Implications 1:20:59 Final Thoughts Hosted on Acast.

Pakistan and Taliban-led Afghanistan have agreed to a ceasefire after some of the worst cross-border violence in years. Relations have soured over Islamabad's accusation that Kabul is aiding the Pakistan Taliban in attacks against the Pakistani military - a claim Kabul denies. With deep mistrust and armed groups still active, can the fragile peace between the two countries really hold?

"In The Garden" The New York-born saxophonist/composer Alison Shearer's new album In The Garden is one of the most dynamic, stirring and altogether thrilling albums of the year. The follow up to her View From Above album, which was a moving tribute to her father John Shearer, the legendary civil rights-era photojournalist, In The Garden is a delicious blend of inventive time meters whose inspirations range from philosophy to children running through a Pakistani marketplace. Played with elegance and grace the compositions on In The Garden are a seamless collision of formalism and modernism and it's just exquisite work. Not only has Alison toured all over the U.S., Canada and South Asia, she's a touring member of Red Baraat and Sunny Jain's Wild Wild East, and she's on the faculty of Jazz at Lincoln Center's High School Jazz Academy. She's busy! But what's cool about Alison being busy is she's busy in her discipline and she's living the life of an artist with authenticity and joy. www.alisonshearer.bandcamp.com www.alisonshearermusic.com www.bombshellradio.com (http://www.bombshellradio.com) www.stereoembersmagazine.com (http://www.stereoembersmagazine.com) www.alexgreenbooks.com (http://www.alexgreenbooks.com) IG + BLUESKY: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

It's Tuesday, October 21st, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson                    Xi Jinping fired 9 Chinese military commanders China's communist system is in turmoil, as the defense ministry announces the removal of nine very senior military commanders from duty, including a number two general, He Weidong. Since 2023, the communist leader, Xi Jinping, has administered the removal of dozens of senior officers. These moves signal a factionalism from within the party and the Chinese military. Experts question whether Jinping will survive in his position. This week, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China is holding its Fourth Plenary Session where leaders will work out a Five-Year Plan. The outcome of this meeting will reveal Jinping's standing in party politics. Keep in mind: God is in control. Haggai 2:22 says, “The word of the Lord came unto Haggai … I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms. … I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, everyone by the sword of his brother.” Pakistani pastor survives murder plot A Pakistani pastor survived a murder attempt in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, on the morning of Sunday, September 21, reports Barnabas Aid. Pastor Kamran Naz had been traveling by bus, accompanied by his mother, from his home in Gujranwala to lead a church service in Islamabad when he was attacked by two unidentified gunmen. One bullet wounded the pastor in the right leg. A second bullet narrowly missed his head. The attackers then fled on a motorcycle as some church members who were present swiftly came to the pastor's aid and contacted emergency services. Pastor Kamran had previously notified the police of numerous death threats. He was warned to stop ministering at the church or face the consequences.  Pastor Imran Amanat, leader of the Christian advocacy group LEAD Ministries Pakistan, said, “We will not be intimidated or silenced. We demand that the authorities immediately ensure the protection of Christian leaders and hold the criminals accountable. If the government continues to ignore these threats, it becomes complicit in the persecution.” According to Open Doors, Pakistan is the eighth most dangerous country worldwide for Christians. Swedish parents lost custody over kids' required church attendance Certain European nations have now been recognized for their systemic violation of parental rights, especially if the parents happen to be Christian.  Alliance Defending Freedom International is working on a case in Sweden, where parents have lost custody of their children under charges of “religious extremism.” The parents had simply restricted the phone use of their teen children and required attendance at church meetings. After three years of attempts to regain custody, Daniel and Bianca Samson are appealing their case to the European Court of Human Rights. Recently, the High Court has already condemned countries like Spain, Portugal, Italy, Croatia, and Romania for systemic violations in family separation and child welfare cases. Iran threatens Israel Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei took to social media (X) yesterday, effectively taunting the American government, threatening Israel, and asserting independence for the nation's nuclear program. He asked, “What authority do you, Americans, have to dictate what a country should or shouldn't do if it possesses nuclear industry? What position do you hold in the world? How is it any of America's business whether Iran has nuclear capabilities and nuclear industry or not? .. . The U.S. President boasts that they've bombed and destroyed Iran's nuclear industry. Very well, in your dreams!” Trump urges Putin and Zelenskyy to end the war President Donald Trump is urging Ukraine's leader, Volodymyr Zelenskyy to end the war on Russia's terms.  He warned Zelenskyy of Russian President Vladimir Putin's threat to “destroy” Ukraine it there is no agreement.  The Financial Times described the meeting as a “shouting match”, with Trump throwing maps in the room, and “cursing all the time.” Japan greenlights Morning After Pill Japan has just approved the abortifacient drug known as the over-the-counter “morning after” pill. Japan also approved the RU-486 abortion kill pill back in April 2023. Japan recorded 686,000 births in 2024. That's down from 762,000 in 2023, and down from 2,000,000 in 1975. Jeremiah 32:35 speaks of this child sacrifice.  “They built the high places of Baal in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to offer up their sons and daughters to Molech, though I did not command them, nor did it enter into my mind, that they should do this abomination.” Day 21 of U.S. government shutdown The U.S. government shutdown is rounding its 21st day. With 900,000 employees furloughed, the shutdown represents the most severe in American history.  Indeed, 7,850 flights were delayed due to air traffic control staffing shortages on Sunday.  According to TheHill.com, 13,000 air traffic controllers and 50,000 TSA agents are presently working without pay. Housing bubble has burst The housing bubble has burst in multiple cities across the United States. The median house values in Oakland, California and Austin, Texas have dropped by 24% since the peak in 2022. Significant declines have also been reported in New Orleans, San Francisco, Fort Myers, Florida, and Denver, Colorado, reports WolfStreet.com. Gold and silver hit new record highs Metals continued their journey upwards and onwards in Monday's market activity. Gold hit $4,350 per ounce and silver hit $52 and change per ounce, reports Reuters. Trump's Education Dept. funds conservative ideology at colleges The Trump Education Department is offering preferential funding for those universities willing to bend more conservative. Only Vanderbilt, the University of Arizona, and the University of Texas at Austin have embraced to the idea out of the nine universities approached with the proposal, reports Breitbart.  MIT, Brown University, the University of Pennsylvania, and the University of Southern California have all rejected the Trump administration's encouragement to abolish their departments opposed to conservative ideas.  Major jewel heist at Louvre in Paris, France And finally, a team of four thieves broke into the Louvre Museum in Paris over the weekend. They stole priceless jewels dating back to the 19th Century, reports Reuters. Among the stolen items were a tiara and brooch belonging to Empress Eugénie, wife of Napoleon III, an emerald necklace and a pair of emerald earrings from Empress Marie Louise, Napolean's second wife, and a tiara, a necklace, and single earring from the sapphire set that belonged to Queen Marie-Amelie and Queen Hortense. (Also a brooch known as the "reliquary brooch” was taken).

Afghanistan and Pakistan are in Qatar's capital Doha for peace negotiations. Pakistani jets conducted a series of airstrikes on Afghanistan's border province of Paktika on Friday, ending a brief lull in the intense fighting that broke out last week. Pakistan has accused Afghanistan of harbouring militants, which Kabul has denied.Also in the programme: a new study shows how a blood test for more than 50 types of cancer could help speed up diagnosis; and thousands of people have attended a final public send-off for Kenya's former prime minister Raila Odinga who died earlier this week.(File Picture: Vehicles loaded with the belongings of Afghan citizens at the border crossing in Chaman, Balochistan Province on October 16, 2025.

In this episode of Hold Your Fire!, Richard speaks with Crisis Group's Afghanistan expert Ibraheem Bahiss and South Asia director Samina Ahmed about clashes this week between Afghan and Pakistani forces. Richard first speaks with Ibraheem about what triggered the latest confrontation, including reported Pakistani strikes on Pakistani militants, the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), in Kabul and in border regions. They trace the strained relations between Kabul and Islamabad and why the Taliban authorities struggle to address Pakistan's concerns – with Islamabad accusing the Kabul authorities of sheltering the TTP and allowing cross-border attacks – even as they have reined in other foreign militants. Richard then turns to Samina to discuss the spike in militant violence in Pakistan's western regions, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, how Islamabad views possible rapprochement between the Taliban and India, Islamabad's broader foreign relations – including a defence pact with Saudi Arabia and warmer ties to Washington – and the risk of further clashes.Click here to listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

//The Wire//2300Z October 13, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: PRESIDENT TRUMP AND OTHER HEADS OF STATE ARRIVE IN EGYPT FOR SIGNING OF PEACE AGREEMENT. COUP IN MADAGASCAR RESULTS IN PRESIDENT FLEEING COUNTRY. AFGHAN/PAKISTAN BORDER CLASHES FLARE UP BRIEFLY. NETHERLANDS ENACTS WARTIME POLICY TO CONTROL CHINESE TECH COMPANY.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Europe: Yesterday evening the Dutch government announced that they have taken more direct control of the Nexperia corporation, which was carried out under a rarely-used wartime law. Nexperia is a Chinese-owned semiconductor chip manufacturer, which mostly provides computer chips for consumer-grade electronics. The Dutch government enacted the Availability of Goods Act, which enables the Netherlands to halt actions by the company that are deemed to be against the national defense interests of the nation.Analyst Comment: This is a big deal as it's yet another indicator of wartime preparations continuing. While most may think that a war with China will just involve the US, and be confined to the Far East, this move highlights the global nature of a potential conflict involving China. This move is not a straight-up seizure of all assets, the company is continuing to produce products as before. This decision is simply to take administrative control of the company, should the board of executives make decisions that are counter to the national security needs of the Netherlands.Western Asia: A brief war erupted and was concluded between Pakistan and Afghanistan over the weekend. Afghan forces conducted multiple small arms attacks on Pakistani border positions. Pakistan responded in kind by shelling random locations inside Afghanistan. After a few hours, Taliban forces withdrew and Pakistani forces stopped shelling.Middle East: President Trump arrived in Egypt for the various diplomatic events pertaining to the Gaza peace deal being signed. Various other heads of state from around the region (and Europe) also gathered for the celebratory peace summit.Analyst Comment: So far only one international incident has been the result of proceedings, with Turkey's Erdogan refusing to take part if Netanyahu was planning to show up as well. Allegedly, a mid-flight phone call was placed by Erdogan's team to pressure Netanyahu to not take part in the event, otherwise Erdogan's plane would turn around and return to Turkey. Netanyahu agreed to this request and has not flown to Egypt to take part in the events. Other than that brief squabble, nothing of note has taken place yet regarding the signing of the peace accord, and the various diplomatic speeches and events have carried on without much conflict.Africa: The government of Madagascar has collapsed as a general state of unrest reached it's peak over the weekend. President Andry Rajoelina was evacuated from the country by French military forces as rioters compromised the security situation around the Presidential residence.Analyst Comment: This is the latest nation to fall to the "Zoomer Uprising", a global trend of youth movements rising up to overthrow their respective third-world governments. One of the first to display this trend was the coup in Nepal a few weeks ago, which was carried out largely by the younger elements of the population. In Madagascar, the situation is very similar, with grievances being centered around electricity and water shortages which have gotten worse over the past few years.-HomeFront-Oregon: Over the weekend counter-ICE protests and demonstrations continued, with a few old tactics being implemented. Namely, nudity. A city-wide naked bike ride and "die in" protest was arranged yesterday, which disrupted traffic for a few hours on major roads, as well as outside the ICE facility.California: Concerns of election fraud have come to light following the receipt of mail-in ballots rega

PREVIEW: Deadly Clashes Between Pakistan Army and Taliban Along the Unrecognized Durand Line GUEST NAME: Bill Roggio (Foundation for Defense of Democracies, The Long War Journal) 100-WORD SUMMARY: John Batchelor asks Bill Roggio to describe the challenging terrain where reports indicate hundreds have died in clashes between the Pakistani army and the Taliban's army along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. The area, which includes both mountainous and desert country, spans hundreds of miles. A major cause of tension is that the Afghan and Pakistani Taliban do not recognize the Durand Line, which serves as the official border. Both sides have set up border outposts, and the location of these outposts sometimes shifts depending on local circumstances.

'While Jammu and Kashmir is witnessing high growth and a thriving economy driven by the Indian government's policies, not very far away, Pakistan-occupied Kashmir is burning with anger. The contrast between Kashmir and PoK is impossible to ignore. One side protests for food and electricity, while the other talks about growth and education'- Watch this week's column for ThePrint by Amana Begam Ansari. ----more----Read full article here: https://theprint.in/opinion/pok-protest-pakistani-state-kashmir-obsessed-western-media/2761090/

//The Wire//2300Z October 10, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: EARTHQUAKES STRIKE PHILIPPINES. INDIA WELCOMES TALIBAN DELEGATION, RE-ESTABLISHES RELATIONS WITH AFGHANISTAN. WHITE HOUSE ANNOUNCES NEW BLANKET TARIFF OF 100% ON CHINESE GOODS.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Philippines: Yesterday evening an earthquake with an estimated magnitude of 7.4 struck just off the coast of the southern province of Davao Oriental. Shortly after the first, a second 6.9 magnitude earthquake was reported in the same area, along with several aftershocks from both quakes. Damage surveys are still ongoing, and so far 6x fatalities have been reported as a result of these earthquakes.Southern Asia: Following the Pakistani airstrikes in the city of Kabul yesterday, Taliban leadership has signaled a desire to increase their relations with India. The Taliban's Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi arrived in India this morning for a pre-arranged diplomatic visit. India's Foreign Minister received the Taliban, and stated that India will be re-opening their embassy in Afghanistan to establish relations with the new Taliban government.Analyst Comment: Interesting relationships are forming on the subcontinent. India will ally with anyone who hates Pakistan, so cozying up to the Taliban makes sense from their perspective, especially since India does not share a land border with Afghanistan. However this may be an ill advised move in the long run, considering that the United States is not yet interested in restoring relations with the Taliban, and some of India's other trade partners might have a bone to pick with the Afghan government.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - This afternoon the White House announced a new tariff on most goods from China. Starting November 1st, a 100% tax will be applied on top of all other tariffs (which vary by type of goods).Analyst Comment: Since the election, the roller coaster of tit-for-tat tariffs between the United States and China has been, in a word, insanity. Overall, it's challenging to judge who has come out on top, economically speaking. The White House came out swinging with the tariffs right after the election, while China has (in typical fashion) taken a more coy approach that has been slow to build. This latest conflagration is likely the result of China introducing export controls for precious metals and rare-earth materials such as lithium. President Trump has fired back by instituting this 100% tariff, and also introducing export controls on "critical software".As a reminder, the White House still hasn't really clarified their position on the "600,000 Chinese student" scandal from last month, so if the United States remains committed to importing hundreds of thousands of Chinese citizens into the exact career fields that are writing the software in the first place, it's extremely unlikely that export limitations on software will matter at all. Nevertheless, the trade war has kicked back up again so more economic turmoil will probably be the result in the short term.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In the Middle East, the peace agreement seems to be holding as much as can be expected so far. Yesterday the White House confirmed that American troops will be deployed to Israel to oversee the peace agreement. Officials have stated that no American troops will be deployed to Gaza, however troops will be directly involved in mitigating conflicts between Palestinian authorities and Israeli troops. Per the deal, roughly half of Gaza will remain in a state of "buffer zone" more or less under Israeli control and the IDF pulled back across the line of control yesterday afternoon. Various other Middle Eastern nations also have pledged to invest troops in the management of the peace agreement, most notably Egypt, Qatar, and the UAE, and various third-party nations (such as Turkey) have allowed a

This conversation may get British comedian and political commentator Katie Hopkins arrested when she returns home. She doesn't care. In a podcast episode that's both hilariously irreverent and deeply vulnerable, Katie chronicles her extraordinary life — from surviving a terrorist plot to behead her to sending a photo of her butt to Australia's deputy prime minister after her deportation for criticizing COVID lockdowns. Her exposés on the treatment of white farmers in South Africa led to her detention and her comedy nearly landed her in jail, but Katie remains unbowed, insisting that in an “age of madness,” we need those who are “unafraid.” For the first time, Katie reveals her response to threats of arrest for the “crime of telling jokes online,” stating, “If I'm arrested, I choose it.” She dives into her experience at the Unite the Kingdom rally, shedding light on the growing unrest in Britain, including what she describes as an Islamic “takeover” of the nation and the chilling reality of Pakistani “r*pe gangs.” Katie also gives her opinion on Tommy Robinson, praises Marco Rubio for “growing a significant pair,” and shares her admiration for the U.S. Second Amendment, including her desire to become a “buckle bunny” for a U.S. sheriff. The podcast takes a serious turn in the discussion of the U.K.'s response to Charlie Kirk's assassination, the survival of the monarchy, and Katie's perseverance when faced with the threat of losing her children and the award-winning musical that threatened her life. “I have sparkles on,” she says, gesturing to her glittering red pantsuit. “All is well.”      GLENN'S SPONSORS  Preborn:      Together, we can end the tragedy of abortion, one mother and baby at a time.  To donate securely, dial #250 and say the keyword “baby,” or visit https://preborn.com/glenn.       Relief Factor:  Tired of pain controlling your life?
