[00:00:00] attacks, as well as the political conflict escalating over the demand for Imran Khan's release in Pakistan.
[00:00:03] We will discuss these important topics in detail with a special guest.
[00:00:07] So let's start and first take a look at the headlines.
[00:00:11] नजर डालते हैं हेडलाइंस
[00:00:12] After the deadly Houthi attacks
[00:00:15] on Saudi Arabia, Iran became active, offering to resolve the dispute through dialogue
[00:00:19] between both sides. It said that Israel would benefit from the
[00:00:22] expansion of the conflict. Flights at Riyadh airport were suspended
[00:00:26] after the Houthi attack. The final battle for control of
[00:00:33] Yemen's Taiz city. The tight siege of the city by the Houthis
[00:00:36] has deepened the humanitarian crisis. Medical equipment and fuel are
[00:00:40] on the verge of running out. The ground forces claimed to have killed about
[00:00:44] 60 fighters.
[00:00:46] Ukrainian President Zelenskyy claimed
[00:00:50] that Russia bombed energy targets immediately after Trump's announcement
[00:00:54] of an energy ceasefire. Trump claimed both sides
[00:00:57] had agreed. The Kremlin has not yet
[00:01:01] confirmed this.
[00:01:03] North Korea's missiles
[00:01:07] have once again raised concerns about regional security. At least
[00:01:11] two ballistic missiles were fired into the sea from the east coast.
[00:01:14] One traveled more than 900 kilometers. South Korea
[00:01:18] and Japan strongly protested.
[00:01:21] विरोध
[00:01:25] Emergency declared in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. PTI leaders
[00:01:28] continue to be arrested. Chief Minister Sohail Afridi and
[00:01:31] many other senior leaders arrested. Army called in
[00:01:35] to help the administration. PTI said it would not
[00:01:38] back down.
[00:01:54] And now, let's begin. Amid tensions in West Asia, attacks on Saudi Arabia
[00:01:58] have increased security concerns.
[00:02:00] Flights at Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport have also been affected
[00:02:04] after the attacks and loss of life. Continuous attacks are raising questions
[00:02:08] about Saudi Arabia's security system, and tensions are deepening
[00:02:12] throughout the region. What are the conditions, and what form is
[00:02:15] this great war taking? Let's
[00:02:16] find out.
[00:02:26] Missiles create panic in the skies of Saudi Arabia. A rain of gunpowder
[00:02:30] in Yemen, and a crisis in oil supplies in the sea.
[00:02:34] The Houthis have surrounded Saudi Arabia on fronts where even
[00:02:37] one mistake can be costly. Saudi Arabia is seeking help
[00:02:41] from its allies through the Makkah Agreement with America, but
[00:02:44] so far, there has been no assurance, and the rain of Houthi missiles
[00:02:47] is increasing. Earlier, on October 10, the Houthis attacked Riyadh's King
[00:02:51] Khalid Airport, killing 12 people
[00:02:54] and injuring 309. One Indian citizen was also
[00:02:57] among the dead. The next day, the same airport
[00:03:01] was again targeted by the Houthis,
[00:03:04] Sindh and the area of and one person died, while 11 were injured. In these
[00:03:07] two attacks, a total of
[00:03:10] borders Afghanistan and Iran, 13 people were killed and 320 people were injured. Currently, airport operations have
[00:03:14] been suspended, and security arrangements have been tightened. Besides Riyadh,
[00:03:17] news of attacks on other targets and airports in Saudi Arabia
[00:03:21] has also emerged. The Houthis have issued a warning of new
[00:03:25] attacks in Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump
[00:03:29] called the attack very serious. He said that America
[00:03:32] is assessing whether it should participate in Saudi Arabia's military
[00:03:36] action against the Houthis or
[00:03:39] will also increase, and terrorist not. This means there is a possibility of American intervention,
[00:03:43] Woodford have been announced but the final decision to directly join the war has not been announced.
[00:03:45] Saudi Arabia is responding to the Houthi attacks with
[00:03:48] airstrikes in Yemen. The Saudi-backed coalition has targeted Houthi strongholds.
[00:03:52] According to the Yemeni government army, attacks were carried out in
[00:03:56] Al Arsum, Al Maraj positions in Taiz province, around
[00:03:59] 60th Street, and several mountain positions. The battle
[00:04:02] for control of Taiz city
[00:04:06] let me tell you. And since has become very important. The Houthis are trying to get closer
[00:04:08] to the city. The heights of Mount Sabir are strategically important
[00:04:12] because a large part of Taiz city can be monitored from here.
[00:04:16] If the Houthis strengthen their hold on these heights and surrounding
[00:04:19] areas,
[00:04:22] activities in the province. The it could put significant pressure on the security of Taiz city. This would be a serious challenge
[00:04:26] for the internationally recognized Yemeni government. But the other
[00:04:30] front of the Yemeni war has also opened near the Bab
[00:04:33] al-Mandeb Strait. This sea route connects the Red Sea
[00:04:37] a half years. However, PTI to the Gulf of Aden and is very important for global trade.
[00:04:40] The Houthis are claiming advances in the areas of Bab
[00:04:43] al-Mandeb, although the Yemeni
[00:04:46] path, schools are necessary. government is also claiming to have recaptured several areas in this region. Iran also appears to
[00:04:50] be becoming active. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi spoke to
[00:04:54] his Saudi counterpart and offered to help de-escalate tensions
[00:04:57] between the Saudi coalition and the Houthis. However, there's a catch
[00:05:01] here. The Houthis are close allies of Iran. But the biggest
[00:05:04] question is whether Iran can really persuade the Houthis to
[00:05:08] stop their attacks. And let's discuss this with Dr.
[00:05:17] Rajan Kumar, who is joining us from the School of International
[00:05:21] Studies, JNU. Welcome, Dr. Rajan, and my first question is, what
[00:05:24] is the current situation as you see it, because with the
[00:05:28] continuous attacks by the Houthis on Saudi Arabia, what will be
[00:05:32] Saudi Arabia's next move, and for how long will West Asia
[00:05:36] have to face this? Does this seem like the precursor to
[00:05:40] a major war? Yes, Gaurav, thank you for inviting
[00:05:43] me. It is very important that the current situation there
[00:05:46] seems likely to escalate a lot, because from neither side,
[00:05:49] at least for the next one or two months, does it seem
[00:05:53] that there will be any possibility of a ceasefire. In fact,
[00:05:57] you have seen that the attacks are happening at such a level
[00:06:01] that now the Riyadh airport is being directly attacked. You saw
[00:06:05] that one Indian also lost his life, as shown in your program.
[00:06:09] 300 people were injured, many of whom are critical. 12 to
[00:06:12] 13 people have died. And despite the fact that Saudi Arabia's
[00:06:16] protection includes many American missile systems, etc., providing
[00:06:20] protection, and there is an American military presence there,
[00:06:24] even then, civilian targets like the airport are being attacked.
[00:06:27] So this means that the situation is quite delicate, and assume
[00:06:31] that Iran will not tell the Houthis to stop the
[00:06:35] war completely, because right now, among the proxies that Iran
[00:06:38] has, the Houthis are the most important, and the Houthis can
[00:06:42] influence Bab al-Mandeb, and Iran is doing it at Hormuz.
[00:06:46] So, through this pressure, Iran can also put pressure
[00:06:49] on America. That's why I think the current war is likely
[00:06:53] to escalate, and you know that through the Makkah Agreement,
[00:06:56] Saudi Arabia's allied countries, Pakistan and Turkey, now
[00:07:00] Pakistan's army is also getting involved. So, in such a situation,
[00:07:04] speculations are being made that this war is likely to
[00:07:08] escalate significantly, and there is no immediate solution to this.
[00:07:12] In such a situation, Dr. Rajan, another question arises: the Makkah
[00:07:15] Pact was strongly emphasized, so where do you think that
[00:07:19] voice is now? Has it been drowned out amidst all this noise?
[00:07:23] No, the Makkah Pact, you know, is a formal agreement.
[00:07:26] Pakistan has also accepted that it is sending its army
[00:07:30] there, and in every way, it has stated that it is
[00:07:34] a defense army, meaning they will not attack in Yemen, but
[00:07:37] if Saudi Arabia is attacked, then Turkey and Pakistan will
[00:07:41] both protect it. And according to reports there,
[00:07:44] the Pakistani army is also providing protection. Now, the problem is
[00:07:48] that Pakistan was initially talking about mediation there, and now
[00:07:52] it is indirectly participating in that war.
[00:07:55] So, in such a situation, it is very difficult to say
[00:07:59] what kind of situation will emerge there. America is also
[00:08:03] trying to put pressure on Yemen, but the Houthis are such
[00:08:07] forces that if anyone has control, it is Iran.
[00:08:10] Besides that, no other power can put pressure on the
[00:08:14] Houthis, and as you showed in your program, their
[00:08:18] influence is increasing in areas like Taiz, and their influence
[00:08:21] is also increasing in Bab al-Mandeb. If it is completely
[00:08:25] stopped, then your shipments that used to go through
[00:08:29] the Suez Canal will be completely blocked there. This
[00:08:32] will likely lead to a significant increase in oil prices. So
[00:08:35] these are all speculations, and there is a strong possibility that
[00:08:39] until a ceasefire-like condition is established between the Houthis
[00:08:43] and Saudi Arabia, I think the difficulties will
[00:08:47] increase in that entire region. So what do you think
[00:08:50] the future holds? Because we are constantly seeing attacks,
[00:08:54] and besides that, the unrest in other Arab countries is
[00:08:58] also intensifying. So the West Asia war started somewhere
[00:09:02] and is going somewhere else, and in such a situation, the
[00:09:06] whole world is clearly affected. So what do you think
[00:09:09] the future holds? This crisis will deepen even more. Look,
[00:09:13] the crisis there is a battle for regional dominance,
[00:09:18] Saudi Arabia faces an existential threat, meaning that the existence
[00:09:21] of the entire nation is threatened, because if they cannot stop
[00:09:25] the Houthi aggression, their difficulties will increase significantly, and
[00:09:29] the entire regional balance, especially America's influence, which you
[00:09:32] still see through these small Saudi Arabias, through Jordan,
[00:09:36] Egypt, etc., through Qatar, if America does not intervene
[00:09:40] there, then Iran's influence will increase significantly, and neither
[00:09:44] Turkey nor Pakistan nor Israel wants that. So
[00:09:47] in such a situation, its possibility is increasing significantly,
[00:09:51] because the Houthis are attacking civilian airports directly. You
[00:09:55] saw that in the Russia-Ukraine war, there was no direct targeting
[00:09:59] of airports, but in this war, what is happening is
[00:10:03] that in the first stage itself, civilian targets are being hit,
[00:10:07] and the Houthis' influence is increasing, and American forces
[00:10:10] are not ready to send troops there. So, in such
[00:10:14] a situation, I think it is quite delicate, and if
[00:10:18] there is no ceasefire, there is a high possibility of it
[00:10:22] escalating and Iran's influence also increasing significantly. So,
[00:10:25] will we see in the coming days that the Houthis will continue
[00:10:29] to get out of control and these attacks will further
[00:10:32] intensify? Because, look, the medium through which Iran
[00:10:36] is now trying to put pressure on America, Israel,
[00:10:40] or the entire region, Iran has three kinds of weapons.
[00:10:44] One is their ongoing nuclear inducement program, etc. And
[00:10:48] second is that they have controlled Hormuz, so they have
[00:10:51] become quite capable of stopping any trade from Hormuz. Some
[00:10:55] ships are able to pass, but most ships are not.
[00:10:59] So through Hormuz, they have completely controlled the international
[00:11:03] energy crisis. And third, among their proxies,
[00:11:06] Hamas has become quite weak. Hezbollah is also not
[00:11:10] strong in that way. So in such a situation, they
[00:11:14] have the Houthis as a means through which they can
[00:11:17] stop all the shipments in that region that go from
[00:11:21] Bab al-Mandeb to the Suez Canal, and they can also
[00:11:47] why it is becoming so serious, why the battle for its occupation is escalating so much, and what is so special about it, or why is it being given
[00:11:50] so much importance? Look, it is a very
[00:11:54] important region, and they believe that if
[00:11:58] the Yemeni forces, that is, the former Yemeni forces
[00:12:01] supported by Saudi Arabia, and their control, you know,
[00:12:05] has been removed from there, then they believe that if
[00:12:09] they gain control over it, they can stop the Yemenis
[00:12:12] from advancing, keep an eye on them, and also gain
[00:12:16] control over the Bab al-Mandeb area. So, Taiz is
[00:12:20] seen as a very strategic point, and in this
[00:12:24] war, you have seen
[00:12:55] that for now, it's time for a short break. When we
[00:12:59] return after the break, we will bring you the next news. So
[00:13:02] stay with us. We are taking
[00:13:07] a short break. Take a gold loan from India's

[00:13:36] Steel.
[00:13:40] Welcome back after the break. In Pakistan, the demand for
[00:13:44] Imran Khan's release has further escalated the political conflict.
[00:13:48] The decision to impose an emergency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa amidst
[00:13:51] PTI's movement has further deepened the crisis. The central
[00:13:55] government is calling it a step to combat terrorism, while
[00:13:59] PTI is calling it an attack on its power. What is
[00:14:02] happening there? Let's find
[00:14:08] out. When Imran Khan's party, PTI, came out to get its
[00:14:12] leader released from jail, political chaos erupted
[00:14:16] in Pakistan. Frightened by the crowd of protesters,
[00:14:19] Army Chief Asim Munir deployed the army on the streets.
[00:14:23] But when Munir's tactics also failed, the government
[00:14:27] imposed an emergency in the only province it controls, Khyber
[00:14:30] Pakhtunkhwa, giving more powers to the army and launching
[00:14:34] a new move to curb Imran's supporters. The Shahbaz
[00:14:37] government's argument behind imposing the emergency is that the
[00:14:41] PTI government has completely failed to control terrorist
[00:14:47] central government alleges that the provincial government is not cooperating
[00:14:51] with the federal government. The federal government claims a 196%
[00:14:54] increase in incidents of terrorism and extremism in the province
[00:14:58] in the last two and
[00:15:02] refutes these allegations. The party claims that adequate funds
[00:15:05] and resources were not provided to the province to fight
[00:15:09] terrorism. PTI has called this an attempt to put pressure
[00:15:13] on its leaders and said that such actions will not
[00:15:17] stop its struggle. The powers of the provincial government have
[00:15:20] been abolished, and the administration has been handed over to the
[00:15:25] governor. The army has been called into the province, and
[00:15:28] former leaders are being detained en masse. Even the former
[00:15:32] chief minister of the province, Ali Amin Gandapur, has
[00:15:36] been placed under house arrest. It is claimed that the
[00:15:39] PTI government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was challenging the influence
[00:15:43] of Army Chief Asim Munir. Due to this, there are
[00:15:47] reports of increasing tension between the provincial government and the
[00:15:50] military leadership. According to sources, a major reason for
[00:15:54] the dispute is also the control over mines and mineral
[00:15:58] resources in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. It is being said that
[00:16:01] the Pakistan Army wants more powers in matters related to
[00:16:05] mineral resources in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Meanwhile, Chief Minister Sohail
[00:16:09] Afridi and the PTI government were reportedly opposing the
[00:16:13] army's direct interference in matters related to mines and
[00:16:16] minerals. Sources say that after the imposition of emergency
[00:16:20] and governor's rule, the army's influence in the province's affairs
[00:16:24] may increase. Under Article 232 of Pakistan's constitution,
[00:16:28] an emergency can be imposed in situations of war,
[00:16:32] attacks by other countries, or deteriorated conditions within the
[00:16:35] country, which the provincial government is unable to handle.
[00:16:39] However, the decision to impose an emergency needs parliamentary
[00:16:43] approval. Meanwhile, PTI started a march on October 4
[00:16:47] to secure the release of its jailed leader, Imran Khan.
[00:16:50] Imran's supporters are trying to advance towards Islamabad,
[00:16:54] but the government has converted
[00:16:55] the entire city into a
[00:17:00] container fortress to stop them. But by imposing an
[00:17:04] emergency in KP, the government has tried to push Imran's
[00:17:08] issue back. Now, it remains to be seen whether Parliament
[00:17:11] approves this decision, whether it is challenged in court,
[00:17:15] and in which direction PTI's movement progresses. And
[00:17:19] let's discuss this with Dr. Rajan Kumar, who is constantly
[00:17:22] joining us. Dr. Rajan, Imran Khan started from there
[00:17:25] to get out of jail. The protests escalated in demand
[00:17:28] for his release, which we have seen continuously in recent
[00:17:32] days. And now, the crisis in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is continuously
[00:17:35] increasing. So, in such a situation,
[00:17:38] what do you think will make it more difficult for whom
[00:17:42] in the coming future, Sharif or Imran Khan?
[00:17:45] Look, this somehow shows how much
[00:17:49] internal politics of Pakistan is in crisis. There was
[00:17:53] only one province, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where Imran Khan's government
[00:17:56] was in power, and Afridi Sahib was its governor. But
[00:18:00] even there, they could not tolerate it. You have already
[00:18:04] put Imran Khan in jail, but despite this, they were
[00:18:07] afraid that their current Chief Minister, who has now been
[00:18:11] dismissed, was leading the protests there, and they had
[00:18:15] given a call for a protest, which was to protest towards
[00:18:18] Islamabad. Its date was October 4th or later. So,
[00:18:22] after that, the date was extended, so the Pakistan
[00:18:26] government was quite scared of that possibility, and they felt
[00:18:29] that if such a protest happened, there would be a
[00:18:33] lot of violence. And second, the other charge against them
[00:18:36] is that they said that the action that the federal
[00:18:40] government wanted them to take against the other terrorist organizations
[00:18:43] there, they were not taking that kind of action there.
[00:18:47] So, because of this, they dismissed their government
[00:18:51] there through their article 232, which is illegal. There was
[00:18:54] only a two-year government there. It was the only province
[00:18:58] where Imran Khan's government was in power. Even though
[00:19:02] there was a majority in other places, they were not
[00:19:05] allowing Imran Khan to come there. So, in such a
[00:19:09] situation, there is complete governor's rule there for six
[00:19:13] months, although they have taken it, they can extend it
[00:19:16] further. So, there is an attempt to bring military
[00:19:20] control and federal control there, and in a way,
[00:19:24] Imran Khan's supporters have also been arrested.
[00:19:27] It is also being said that Afridi, who was dismissed
[00:19:31] as Chief Minister, has also been detained, and you said
[00:19:34] that his former Chief Minister has also been taken into
[00:19:38] custody. So, in such a situation, there is a possibility
[00:19:42] that the protests will intensify significantly, and this
[00:19:45] is not just about Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Pakistan, as you know,
[00:19:49] is experiencing daily attacks in Balochistan on the government,
[00:19:53] and on the army. So they are in a bad state
[00:19:56] there. Of their four provinces, Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan,
[00:20:00] and KP, that is Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the situation in
[00:20:03] two provinces is very delicate and very bad,
[00:20:07] and the government there also has a problem because the
[00:20:11] area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan borders Afghanistan.
[00:20:15] So they also wanted that Imran Khan's regime
[00:20:18] there, the PTI government, should make an agreement
[00:20:22] with the Afghan forces, the Taliban in Afghanistan, for
[00:20:25] which the Sharif government was absolutely not ready,
[00:20:28] and these were all issues because of which they were
[00:20:32] dismissed. But the reason is political, because they did
[00:20:36] not want any protest from Imran Khan's side
[00:20:40] there, any encirclement or anything that was happening
[00:20:43] in Islamabad. This has happened before, let me tell you,
[00:20:46] and it was stopped. And now, in a way,
[00:20:50] there is an attempt to completely remove the PTI there,
[00:20:53] to completely destroy their regime there, their control,
[00:20:57] their support system. This is what is happening there,
[00:21:00] and you can see that in the dismissal of the
[00:21:04] government, because it is completely illegal. In their
[00:21:07] law, there is also a question that arises: how
[00:21:11] much pressure is there on the government during these protests?
[00:21:15] And as we are seeing these protests intensifying,
[00:21:19] do you think the Pakistani
[00:21:22] of pressure? Yes, it is under a lot of pressure,
[00:21:26] no doubt about it. From both sides, because of the
[00:21:30] protests of the other Balochi forces in Balochistan, and
[00:21:34] because of the way the military is being attacked.
[00:21:37] And if you dismiss a democratically elected government
[00:21:41] without any valid reason, what reason was given there?
[00:21:44] The reason given is that the attacks have increased there,
[00:21:48] whereas the figures from Dawn and other newspapers
[00:21:52] there are reporting that the criminal activity in Khyber
[00:21:56] Pakhtunkhwa has decreased by 16%. So the logic
[00:22:00] being given is completely wrong, and it cannot be
[00:22:03] supported by data at all. So, in a way, it
[00:22:07] is an attempt to establish political control. Asif Munir
[00:22:10] wants to bring all the provinces under his complete
[00:22:14] control. This is the attempt. And in such a
[00:22:18] situation, you can expect that protests will increase
[00:22:22] significantly there, and the terrorist attacks by Afghan-supported
[00:22:26] or other terrorist organizations will also increase. Because
[00:22:29] if you dismiss a democratically representative government there
[00:22:33] without any valid reason, people will protest, won't
[00:22:37] they? There is no other option left. In such
[00:22:41] a situation, is the government's focus only on Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,
[00:22:44] or is it also focusing on such situations throughout Pakistan?
[00:22:48] Because when you have a government with you, there is
[00:22:51] a kind of legal protection for protesters, and since
[00:22:55] there are fundings in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, there are sources
[00:22:59] of funding if you have a government, and you mentioned
[00:23:02] in your program how that area is very rich in minerals,
[00:23:06] etc. So, in such a situation, if there is an
[00:23:10] attempt to remove the government, it is a way to weaken
[00:23:13] their organizational structure when you arrest all the important
[00:23:17] leaders, their financial sources for protests, etc. So, this
[00:23:21] is an attempt to cut off those financial sources so
[00:23:25] that you can completely control them. But let me tell
[00:23:29] you, they will not be able to control it, because
[00:23:32] of the way all the protests you saw a few
[00:23:36] days ago in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, in the Gilgit-Baltistan
[00:23:40] area, you saw how many killings happened in those
[00:23:43] protests, 40 to 50 people died. You saw
[00:23:47] how the situation is in Balochistan. So, their entire
[00:23:51] area, one part of it is
[00:23:54] Sindh, the area of Punjab, but the other area that
[00:24:00] that entire area of Pakistan is also disturbed, and Pakistan's
[00:24:04] economy, as you know,
[00:24:10] is in a very bad state. So, in such a
[00:24:14] situation, Pakistan's situation is very delicate, difficulties are
[00:24:18] increasing, and the attempt
[00:24:20] is to completely destroy Imran Khan's party, to completely
[00:24:24] destroy it. This attempt is happening there, so protests
[00:24:29] attacks, etc., will also increase. This is what you can
[00:24:33] expect. Okay, it remains to be seen in the
[00:24:37] coming time how violent these protests become and what action
[00:24:39] the government there, that is,
[00:24:41] the Sharif government, takes. Thank you very much, Dr.
[00:24:45] Rajan, for joining us and for this detailed discussion
[00:24:49] with us. So, for now, that's all in World News,
[00:24:52] but as we leave, we leave you with some other
[00:24:56] international news. So, watch these news stories. Give the entire team permission.
[00:25:00] and warned German voters that Moscow could try
[00:25:03] to influence their politics, although he did not present
[00:25:07] any evidence to support Russian interference. Meanwhile,
[00:25:10] Russia has previously denied allegations of interfering in the Brexit
[00:25:14] referendum.
[00:25:16] China
[00:25:18] has imposed sanctions on Paraguay's Minister of Communications and Belize's
[00:25:22] Foreign Minister over their relations with Taiwan. China's Foreign
[00:25:26] Ministry announced this decision on Monday.
[00:25:29] The ministry said that this step has been taken to protect China's national sovereignty
[00:25:33] and oppose Taiwan's separatist activities. Under the sanctions,
[00:25:36] the assets of both ministers in China will be frozen, and they
[00:25:40] will not be given entry visas to Hong Kong and Macau.
[00:25:43] Beijing has accused both ministers of harming China's interests.
[00:25:47] China considers Taiwan its own territory, while the Taiwanese
[00:25:51] government rejects this claim. North
[00:25:54] Korea on
[00:25:57] Monday fired at least two ballistic missiles into the sea off its eastern
[00:26:01] coast. According to South Korea, one of these missiles traveled
[00:26:04] more than 900 kilometers. Meanwhile, Japan condemned the missile tests
[00:26:08] and lodged a strong protest with North Korea. Japan's
[00:26:12] Minister of State for Defense, Takashi Koyama, said that both
[00:26:16] missiles fell into the sea outside Japan's exclusive economic
[00:26:19] zone. He said that no damage to any aircraft or ship has
[00:26:23] been confirmed. Meanwhile, the South Korean presidential office
[00:26:26] called for an immediate halt to these tests, calling them
[00:26:30] a violation of United Nations Security Council resolutions.
[00:26:33] According to
[00:26:37] the UN's international migration agency IOM, at least
[00:26:41] 139 people died after a boat carrying migrants from
[00:26:44] Djibouti to Yemen capsized, while about 84 people are missing.
[00:26:47] Among the dead are at least 15 children. The boat was carrying
[00:26:51] 305 people and capsized near Guheray, north of Djibouti's
[00:26:55] Obog port, on the night of October 8-9. According to IOM,
[00:26:59] in the accident, BJP
[00:27:35] MP Anurag Thakur held a press conference and launched a scathing
[00:27:39] attack on Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi. Anurag Thakur said that Rahul
[00:27:42] Gandhi is the Leader of Opposition in name only, but he is a leader
[00:27:46] who knows neither rules and regulations nor facts. He said that Rahul
[00:27:50] Gandhi, who talks about vote theft, is actually brazenly going against
[00:27:53] the mandate. The BJP accused Rahul Gandhi of trying to intimidate
[00:27:57] the country's judiciary. The
[00:27:59] Chief Justice
[00:28:04] of the Supreme Court, Suryakant, has refused to meet with Congress
[00:28:07] President Mallikarjun Kharge and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha,
[00:28:11] Rahul Gandhi. The Chief Justice wrote to both leaders and also
[00:28:15] clarified the reason for not being able to meet. He said that the issues
[00:28:19] on which the opposition leaders want to meet him are already pending
[00:28:22] before the Supreme Court. In such a situation, meeting to discuss pending
[00:28:26] matters would not be in accordance with established ethical standards
[00:28:29] and judicial propriety.
[00:28:32] The designated protest sites in Delhi have
[00:28:36] been changed. Delhi Police has included Ramlila Maidan,
[00:28:39] Burari Maidan, and CBD Ground in East Delhi as newly designated
[00:28:43] sites for protests and demonstrations. Jantar Mantar has been removed
[00:28:47] from the list of protest sites. In this regard, Delhi
[00:28:51] Police Commissioner Anurag Kumar has issued a standing order.
[00:28:55] The Delhi Police order also clarified that detailed and revised
[00:28:58] standard operating procedures (SOPs) will be issued separately
[00:29:02] for organizing protests and demonstrations at these three new sites.
[00:29:06] NIA
[00:29:10] has seized property in Srinagar used to shelter Pakistani terrorists.
[00:29:13] This property belongs to the accused Ghulam Mohammad Mir alias
[00:29:17] Mama Gas, who is accused of harboring Pakistani terrorists
[00:29:21] of Lashkar-e-Taiba. The investigation has also revealed a nexus between
[00:29:24] Pakistan-based Lashkar handlers and local facilitators. Currently,
[00:29:28] the agency is engaged in identifying other people associated with this
[00:29:32] terrorist network, including those who helped and those connected
[00:29:36] to handlers based in Pakistan.

[00:29:42] E. Hall and Michael
[00:29:45] as the recipients of the 2026 Nobel Prize in Economics.
[00:29:49] The research of both economists has made a significant contribution
[00:29:52] to improving policies for dealing with economic crises and controlling
[00:29:56] inflation. In fact, their research led to the development of New
[00:30:00] Keynesian models. These models help to understand what impact
[00:30:03] the decisions of the government and central bank have on the country's
[00:30:06] economy.
[00:30:13] News from Ground
[00:30:16] Zero is undergoing a period of change. Every village that used
[00:30:19] to be a Naxalite area of Bengal is now Naxal-free.
[00:30:23] A large number of people have surrendered.
[00:30:27] This is a new picture.
[00:30:29] Where there
[00:30:32] was once an atmosphere of fear, and the sound of bombs
[00:30:35] and guns echoed.
[00:30:37] Those
[00:30:40] who once held guns are now holding tools
[00:30:43] and are becoming skilled. For the future to go on the right
[00:30:49] The empire of red terror has now become a bygone
[00:30:53] history. Now, national anthems are sung
[00:30:57] in schools.
