Pavel Zarubin has access to President Putin that other journalists can only dream of. He interviews him regularly, and travels around the world covering huge geopolitical meetings, even posting to his vast social media audience from Putin's meetings with Donald Trump, Xi Jinping, and even from under the table of Putin's meeting with Kim Jong Un. BBC Russian's Elizaveta Fokht traces his career from truth seeking young reporter, to being the President's favoured journalist. Sana Mir is one of Pakistan's most famous cricket players. She played for her country in 226 matches, captaining the team in 137 of them. Being a woman in cricket in Pakistan was not always easy for her, but she has been very outspoken about the sexism and body shaming she faced as a professional athlete. She recently was the first Pakistani woman to be inducted into the International Cricket Council's hall of fame, and Nazish Fiaz of BBC Urdu went to interview her. This episode of The Documentary comes to you from The Fifth Floor, the show at the heart of global storytelling, with BBC journalists from all around the world.

Send us a text! We'd love to hear your thoughts on the show.Welcome back to another episode of The Resilient Writers Radio Show!This week, I'm thrilled to introduce you to Aamir Hussain, whose debut novel Under the Full and Crescent Moon is officially out in the world. This is no ordinary debut. It's a speculative historical novel that asks a bold and fascinating question: Could there be a Muslim matriarchy—and what would that world look like?The story follows Khadija, a young woman growing up in the imagined city of Madid al-Agham, where faith, politics, and the law intertwine. Over the course of 11 transformative months, Khadija becomes a mufti—a scholar and writer of fatwas. She's pulled into debates, courtroom-style conflicts, and life-changing choices, all while negotiating family ties, mentorship, and an intellectual rival who challenges her beliefs and authority.Aamir shares with us how this novel took root. Raised in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and later the Greater Toronto Area, he experienced different expressions of Islam firsthand. After 9/11, he saw the faith misrepresented online—flattened into stereotypes. That disconnect led him to years of research into Islamic history and law, and eventually into the story that became Under the Full and Crescent Moon.We talk about: ✨ The long road to this debut—from early prologue drafts in 2015 to a finished manuscript in 2022. ✨ Writing on Toronto's TTC and GO Train during his daily commute. ✨ Balancing heavy research with a compelling narrative (and how his editor, Julia Kim, helped cut 40,000 words!). ✨ The challenge of writing a female protagonist with honesty and respect—and how early readers gave him confidence in Khadija's voice. ✨ What it means to show, not tell, when weaving faith, politics, and history into fiction.What struck me most in this conversation is Aamir's hope for readers. For Muslim readers, he hopes Khadija's world reflects the richness and diversity within their own communities. For non-Muslim readers, he hopes the book challenges stereotypes and sparks curiosity about the depth of Islamic history and interpretation. More than anything, he wants readers to see that communities, like individuals, are varied, nuanced, and deeply human.On publication day, Aamir admits to feeling a little overwhelmed—but grateful. He didn't originally set out to be a writer, but the story insisted on being written. Now, he's embracing the identity of “novelist” and looking ahead with humility. Will there be another book? Inshallah—God willing.If you love novels that mix immersive worldbuilding with thought-provoking questions, you're going to love this conversation—and you're going to love Khadija.Grab your copy of Under the Full and Crescent Moon and join us for a behind-the-scenes look at how it came to be.

One of the most surprising developments in Washington, if you're a South Asia-watcher, is the surprising turn in U.S.-Pakistan relations. Having largely sidelined Pakistan over the past decade or more, the current U.S. administration has courted Pakistan with an enthusiasm that has caught many analysts off-guard.In June, Trump hosted Pakistan's army chief, Asim Munir, in the White House. A few weeks later, the White House struck a trade deal with Pakistan that kept the tariff rate at 19 percent, lower even than the 25 percent rate slapped on India. Finally, officials from both sides have been discussing joint ventures in cryptocurrency and critical minerals.To talk more about the sudden thaw in U.S.-Pakistan ties, Milan is joined on the show this week by Uzair Younus. Uzair is Chief Product Officer at TAG AI, the artificial intelligence-enabled platform developed by The Asia Group.Prior to joining The Asia Group, Uzair served as Director of the Pakistan Initiative at the Atlantic Council. He's the host of the podcast, Pakistonomy, a show which gives listeners an accessible way of understanding developments related to the politics, economics, and foreign policy of Pakistan. Uzair is also the author of a new book, Future Ready: Innovation, Abundance And The Global South. On this week's show, the two discuss Washington's quiet reassessment of Pakistan, the Trump administration's interest in Pakistan's critical minerals, and the military lessons of Operation Sindoor. Plus, the two discuss the prospects for India-Pakistan rapprochement and the Trump administration's interest in mediation. To watch this episode, click here.Episode notes:1.

Little Leaders: Big Faith From a Small-Town DreamerBrad Silvius, a 1992 graduate of Cedarville University, was shaped by a foundation of faith built in the Village of Cedarville — a faith that continues to guide his life and ministry today. That deep-rooted love for Jesus has laid the groundwork for Little Leaders — a vibrant multimedia platform that helps children grow in biblical truth while building motor skills, learning language, and mastering early education basics.Little Leaders is more than a show — it's a hands-on, faith-filled learning experience. The platform blends colorful animation, music, movement, storytelling, and language lessons. Each piece works together to fully engage kids — mind, body, and spirit. It's fun, interactive, and rooted in Scripture.Brad shared the heart behind the project on the Cedarville Stories podcast. “We just have to be willing and faithful,” he said. “Then we let God grow what He wants to grow.”His whole family is behind the mission. Brad's wife, who has Brazilian roots, brings her business and finance experience from the University of Michigan into the work. Together, they've built Little Leaders not just as a platform — but as a calling.Living in Ann Arbor, Michigan — a hub of global culture — has expanded their vision. The Silvius family has formed close friendships with people from India, Pakistan, and South America. That diversity has shaped the content and widened its reach across cultures and continents.Little Leaders helps children grow through structured play, engaging visuals, and Christ-centered messages. Every video and activity is carefully crafted to raise up the next generation of confident, faith-filled young leaders.Want to see it in action?

Gaza : Tony Blair à la tête du gouvernement provisoire ? Le plan de paix de Donald Trump pour la bande de Gaza prévoit la création d'une autorité internationale de transition dans l'enclave palestinienne, composée de plusieurs membres dont Tony Blair. Pourquoi l'ancien Premier ministre britannique est-il sollicité ? Quel sera son rôle ? Cette autorité ne serait-elle pas une nouvelle forme de contrôle étranger sur Gaza ? Gaza : le projet de « Riviera du Moyen-Orient » est-il abandonné ? Donald Trump a présenté un plan en vingt points censé mettre fin au conflit à Gaza. Le projet « Riviera » imaginé, il y a quelques mois, par le président américain pour faire de Gaza « une station touristique de luxe » est-il, par conséquent, définitivement abandonné ? Gaza : quelle sera la réponse du Hamas ? Huit pays arabes et musulmans, dont l'Égypte, l'Arabie saoudite, la Turquie et le Pakistan ont salué les « efforts sincères » de Donald Trump pour « mettre fin à la guerre ».

Donald Trump is eyeing off a Nobel Peace Prize, after scoring nominations from countries including Israel and Pakistan - a surprising nod for a president more often associated with confrontation than conciliation. Trump would join the likes of former Presidents' Barack Obama and Teddy Roosevelt, but was quick to brush off his nomination saying, 'I don’t seek attention. I just want to save lives.' In this episode of The Briefing, Helen Smith is joined by Allan Behm, a special advisor at the Australia Institute, to unpack what a Trump win would mean for the award’s credibility, and whether he could be ruled out of the race altogether. Afternoon headlines: US government shutdown begins after funding deadlock, Australian government expresses safety concerns for Aussies on flotilla to Gaza and AFL scraps centre bounce for men's game.

The Asia Cup has never been straightforward. Scheduled every two years, it often slips away — undone by border tensions and government quarrels. This year, despite tensions between India and Pakistan, the tournament managed to be held.The young Indian team, missing the usual veterans, went unbeaten. Pakistan made the final a nail-biting contest: a reminder of why this rivalry endures and is eagerly awaited by people of two countries that were once one.Sadly, the clashes between these famed rivals were overshadowed by fighter-plane gestures and snubbed handshakes. India lifted nothing but an imaginary trophy. They had won every match but refused the silverware from the Pakistani head of the Asian Cricket Council. Why do the shadows of politics so often creep onto a field made for sport? To make sense of this, we turn to KC Vijaya Kumar, Sports Editor of The Hindu, who has spent decades tracing this much-cherished rivalry on the pitch and behind the scenes.

The Asia Cup turned out to be an ugly affair. Dominated by off-field drama, the continental tournament made headlines for the wrong reasons more often than not. India and Pakistan met three times, including a historic first in the final. Yet, their battles will be remembered more for the tensions on the field than for any memorable cricketing moments. From the handshake snub to provocative gestures by Pakistan players, the India-Pakistan clashes were a disappointment for purists of the sport. India, however, simply took a stand they believed in. Pakistan, on the other hand, opted for the ugly route, focusing on theatrics rather than cricket. The drama reached its peak on the final day when Pakistan Cricket Board chief Mohsin Naqvi walked away with the trophy after India refused to accept it from him. In the latest episode of the Sledging Room podcast, Akshay Ramesh, Alan John, and Kingshuk Kusari reflect on what was arguably one of the most controversial cricket tournaments in history. Tune In!

We then discussed the Class of 2027 admissions profile from Wharton, within the context of class profiles from Anderson and Johnson. For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected three ApplyWire entries. This week's first MBA admissions candidate has a strong international focus and can speak several languages. They have a super GRE score of 331. This week's second MBA candidate is a West Point graduate with a 2.76 GPA. We discussed potentials for mitigation, which might include retaking the GRE. They currently have a 321 GRE score. The final MBA candidate is from Pakistan and has a terrific GRE score of 335. They are working in energy sector consulting and looking to switch to a more health-care focused career.

Many have been trying to get to Canada.Molly's series was called Dear Taliban and one of her stories featured a young woman who called herself Haya.Haya and her family fled from Kabul to Pakistan where they found themselves stranded and that's where her story ended for us.

President Trump has expressed renewed optimism about reaching a deal to end the war in Gaza, ahead of talks on Monday with the Israeli Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In a social media post, Mr Trump said there was a 'real chance for greatness in the Middle East'. He's subsequently said that he's received what he called a 'very good response' from Israel and Arab leaders to a new US proposal that he says is aimed not just at Gaza but at reaching a broader peace in the region.Also in the programme: Misinformation has disrupted a vaccination programme in Pakistan against cervical cancer; we take a look at today's elections in Moldova; and we hear from a very bad tempered Ryder Cup!

Moldova's pro-EU president, Maia Sandu, has cast her ballot in the country's parliamentary election, urging voters to join her because the country's future is "in danger". Ms Sandu, police, and prosecutors say vote buying and disinformation are unprecedented in scale and linked directly to Russia. Moscow denies accusations of interference. Pro-Kremlin opposition parties have also dismissed talk of Russian meddling; they claim the government is making the case in advance for annulling the vote, should the liberal governing party (the PAS) lose its majority.Also in the programme: With drones increasingly used in offensive military operations, how can you defend against them? Also today, the cricket clash between India and Pakistan; and why Elvis Presley is big in South Wales.(Photo: Moldovan President Maia Sandu votes at a polling station during the country's parliamentary election in Chisinau, Moldova, September 28, 2025.

After dozens of churches and Christians' homes in Jaranwala, Pakistan, were attacked, looted and burned by a mob, Christians gathered in and around the ruins of their former church buildings to sing and worship the Lord. The words they sang were directly from Scripture: Psalms of lament; reminders that even in times of suffering we can come to the Lord and trust in His sovereignty. Dr. Yousaf Sadiq, professor at Wheaton College and co-leader of the Lausanne Persecuted Church Initiative, is back on VOM Radio, sharing the story of the Punjabi Psalter: what it is and how it has impacted the church in Pakistan and parts of India for generations. “I want the world to know this fascinating story and what it means for the church in Pakistan.” Yousaf says, “It's such a precious heritage.” Dr. Yousaf will also share about his work to support and include the ministry of persecuted Christians into the work of the Lausanne Movement. The VOM App for your smartphone or tablet will help you pray daily for persecuted Christians throughout the year, as well as provide free access to e-books, audiobooks, video content and feature films.
