India Hosts Taliban Delegation in Historic Diplomatic Reset

More than four years after the Taliban’s return to power in August 2021, which forced India to shut down its embassy in Kabul and evacuate diplomats amid the collapse of the Western-backed Afghan government, New Delhi has now extended a red-carpet welcome to the group’s leadership. A delegation led by Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi has arrived in the Indian capital for a weeklong official visit, marking the first-ever visit by a Taliban leader to India. Muttaqi, who remains on a United Nations sanctions list, received a temporary travel exemption from the UN to attend the meetings. The visit represents a striking shift in India’s foreign policy. Analysts describe it as a strategic move of pragmatism — aimed at countering Pakistani influence in Afghanistan, as ties between Kabul and Islamabad have recently soured over cross-border tensions. Indian officials, while […]

Trump Says He’s ‘Not Sure I’ll Make Heaven’ While Reflecting on Peace Efforts

United States President Donald Trump has expressed uncertainty about making heaven, even as he continues to receive international praise for brokering the ceasefire that ended the two-year war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. Speaking with reporters aboard Air Force One on Monday while en route to Israel, Trump joked about his faith and legacy, saying, “I’m being a little cute, I don’t think there’s anything going to get me in heaven. I think I’m maybe not heaven-bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly in Air Force One. I’m not sure I’m going to be able to make heaven, but I’ve made life a lot better for a lot of people.” His comment came in response to a reporter who reminded him of his earlier remarks suggesting that achieving peace between Russia and Ukraine could help […]

US Mayor Questions Nigeria’s Anti-Terrorism Strategy During Fact-Finding Visit

Mike Arnold, the Republican Mayor of Blanco, Texas, has criticised Nigeria’s approach to combating terrorism, questioning why the country seeks financial assistance from the United States while rejecting foreign input on security issues. Speaking on Arise Television’s Prime Time on Monday, Arnold said he found Nigeria’s stance contradictory. “I don’t understand why a nation that is mineral-rich as Nigeria has to go and beg for help to save her own people,” he said. “Nigeria has plenty of resources to help her people get at least something where they can help get stability. Displaced people are denied stability, their homes are bulldozed with no warning. It is horrific. You don’t want America to come here and speak on terrorism, but you want their money — that does not make sense to me whatsoever.” Arnold’s comments came during a fact-finding mission organised […]

Russia Attacks UN Aid Convoy in Ukraine’s Kherson Region

Russian forces have struck a United Nations aid convoy in Ukraine’s southern Kherson region, according to Ukrainian officials. The attack, which took place near the frontline town of Bilozerka, caused significant damage but no casualties. Oleksandr Prokudin, head of the regional military administration, said the Russian strike involved both drones and artillery.“The occupiers deliberately targeted UN OCHA trucks with drones and artillery,” Prokudin stated on social media. He added that the convoy consisted of four vehicles—one was completely destroyed by fire, another severely damaged, while the remaining two escaped harm. Ukraine’s Foreign Minister, Andriy Sybiga, condemned the attack, describing it as “another brutal violation of international law, proving Russia’s utter disregard for civilian lives and its international obligations.” A photo shared by Prokudin showed a white truck bearing the World Food Programme emblem engulfed in flames, with thick black smoke […]

UK Unemployment Rises to Highest in Over Four Years

The United Kingdom’s unemployment rate has climbed to its highest level in more than four years, adding pressure to the economy ahead of the government’s upcoming budget announcement. According to figures released on Tuesday by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the unemployment rate rose to 4.8 percent in the three months to the end of August — the highest since early 2021. This marks a slight increase from 4.7 percent recorded in the previous three-month period ending in July. The rise in unemployment comes as Britain faces sluggish economic growth and persistently high inflation, roughly six weeks before the Labour government unveils its next tax and spending plans. Richard Carter, an analyst at investment manager Quilter Cheviot, said the latest figures highlight growing weakness in the job market.“The latest statistics show some significant cracks are forming in the UK […]

Hamas has handed over a second group of 13 hostages to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Gaza.

In return, Israel is set to release approximately 2,000 Palestinian detainees and prisoners. A separate handover of the bodies of deceased hostages is also expected to take place.

Trump Urges Pardon for Netanyahu in Corruption Trial

US President Donald Trump has publicly called for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to be pardoned from his ongoing corruption trials. Speaking before the Israeli parliament, Trump dismissed the charges, which allege Netanyahu accepted over $260,000 in luxury gifts like cigars and champagne in exchange for political favors. "Cigars and champagne, who the hell cares about that?" Trump joked, before directly suggesting the Israeli president grant a pardon. Netanyahu has denied all wrongdoing, and his supporters claim the trials are politically motivated. The Israeli president had previously hinted he might consider a pardon, stating the case "weighs heavily on Israeli society." Trump, who has faced his own legal challenges, has frequently defended Netanyahu, previously calling the investigations a "political witch hunt" similar to his own.

Hamas Hands Over 7 Israeli Hostages to Red Cross as Trump Heads to Gaza Peace Summit

Hamas has handed over seven surviving Israeli hostages to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), marking the first stage of a major hostage-prisoner exchange under a newly brokered Gaza ceasefire deal. The Israeli military confirmed that a Red Cross convoy had entered northern Gaza on Monday to collect the hostages, in line with the terms of the agreement.

UK Steel Industry Faces Deep Crisis as EU Raises Tariffs

The United Kingdom’s steel industry is bracing for one of its worst crises in decades following the European Union’s decision to raise import tariffs and reduce tariff-free steel quotas. The EU announced plans to cut tariff-free quotas for imported steel by 47% compared to 2024 levels, while doubling tariffs from 25% to 50% on imports that exceed those limits. According to the European Commission, the new measures are designed to protect the EU steel sector, safeguard jobs, and support ongoing decarbonisation efforts. The proposal will replace the current steel safeguard measure, which expires in June 2026. The move has sparked strong reactions in the UK, where the steel sector has already been hit by plant closures, job losses, and existing U.S. tariffs of 25% on steel exports. “This is perhaps the biggest crisis the U.K. steel industry has ever faced,” […]
