Actor Shefali Jariwala's sudden death at the age of 42 due to cardiac arrest has reignited widespread fears about COVID-19 vaccine safety. Amid a surge of speculation, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has broken its silence — citing ICMR and AIIMS studies that debunk any link between COVID-19 vaccines and sudden heart attacks. In this video, we break down the government's official findings, what experts say about cardiac risks post-COVID, and why misinformation can be more dangerous than the virus itself. #ShefaliJariwala #COVID19Vaccine #HeartAttack #VaccineMyths #ICMR #AIIMS #PublicHealth #VaccineFacts #COVIDTruth #HealthMinistry #CardiacArrest #COVIDSideEffects #FactCheck #MedicalScience #IndiaNews #OneindiaNews ~HT.410~PR.274~ED.102~

Covid-19 HORROR: India Cross 7,000 Cases | New Variant FOUND | WHO Warns Of Global Rise

India has crossed 7,000 active COVID-19 cases, with Kerala reporting the highest spike and three new deaths. The XFG variant, a sub-lineage of Omicron with strong immune evasion, has been detected across the country, raising global alarm. Originating in Canada, the variant carries four spike protein mutations. Globally, SARS-CoV-2 activity is rising, especially in South-East Asia and Eastern Mediterranean regions, with test positivity rates matching last year’s peak. WHO continues to monitor the spread amid poor ICU and hospitalization data from heavily affected regions. #COVID19India #KeralaCovidSpike #XFGVariant #OmicronSubVariant #CovidCases2025 #CovidDeaths #WHOAlert #IndiaCovidUpdate #CovidInfections #SARSCoV2 #GlobalHealthAlert #CovidNewVariant #Covid19Spike #CovidNews #KeralaHealthUpdate #GujaratCovidCases #DelhiCovidUpdate #WestBengalCovid #HealthMinistryIndia #PublicHealthIndia ~ED.103~HT.408~GR.124~

America’s Silent COVID Crisis: 350 Deaths a Week, Vaccine Rates Plummet, Elderly at Highest Risk

Despite the pandemic no longer dominating headlines, COVID-19 continues to claim hundreds of American lives every week. New CDC data reveals that over 350 people are still dying each week, with the majority of deaths occurring among older adults.

The Stray Dog Menace in India| India Vs World: A Crisis Needing Urgency

The Dog Menace Crisis in India has reached alarming levels, with over 2 million dog bite cases and dozens of rabies-related deaths reported annually. The Dog Menace Crisis is not limited to urban slums but affects rural and semi-urban regions alike. The Kerala government has permitted local bodies to conduct euthanasia of diseased stray dogs under the provisions of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Animal Husbandry Practices and Procedures) Rules, 2023. From policy failures to poor waste management, a systemic overhaul is needed to tackle this growing public health emergency. #DogMenaceCrisis #StrayDogIndia #RabiesAwareness #PublicHealthEmergency #ProtectOurChildren #DogMenace ~HT.410~ED.420~GR.124~PR.282~

India-China Ties At Tipping Point: Jaishankar Begins High-Stakes Beijing Mission | SCO Talks Begin

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar arrives in Beijing for critical talks with Chinese counterpart Wang Yi—the first visit since the 2020 Ladakh military clash that brought ties to their lowest in six decades. The agenda: defusing tensions, troop withdrawal along the Line of Actual Control, and rebuilding trade and cultural links. Afterwards, Jaishankar heads to Tianjin for the SCO foreign ministers meeting (July 14–15), where a joint communique is uncertain after India blocked defence ministers’ support over Pakistan's Pahalgam reference. Ahead of Beijing, he also met Singapore’s leaders to boost investment, semiconductors, infrastructure, and Indo‑Pacific cooperation. This mission aims to reset Indo‑China relations, counter global uncertainty, and reaffirm India’s strategic weight in multilateral diplomacy. #Jaishankar #BeijingVisit #IndiaChinaTies #LadakhStandoff #WangYi #SCO2025 #TianjinMeeting #TroopWithdrawal #TradeTalks #PeopleToPeople #Diplomacy #IndiaForeignPolicy #SingaporeMeeting #IndoPacific #StrategicDialogue #ChinaIndia #GlobalDiplomacy #RegionalStability #SCO #HighStakesTalks

South China Sea BREAKING:Japan Sends Warships To Philippines To ‘Counter’ China’s Growing Aggression

Japan is set to export six Abukuma-class destroyer escorts to the Philippines in a landmark move aimed at countering China’s growing aggression in the South China Sea. The aging destroyers, in service for over 30 years, will significantly boost the Philippines’ naval capabilities, which currently lack such firepower. Defense ministers from both nations agreed to the deal in Singapore last month. Tokyo will frame the upgrades as a joint development project to bypass Japan’s pacifist export rules. The Philippines will inspect the ships this summer. This strategic partnership comes amid intensifying maritime tensions, as both Tokyo and Manila face growing challenges from Beijing’s territorial claims. The deal marks a new chapter in Asia-Pacific military realignment and is expected to draw a sharp response from China. #JapanPhilippines #SouthChinaSea #ChinaTensions #AbukumaDestroyers #NavalDeal #GeopoliticsAsia #USAllies #JapanDefense #PhilippinesNavy #TokyoManila #MilitaryExports #AntiChinaStrategy #MaritimeSecurity #AsiaSecurity #BeijingAggression #SeaPower #JapanNews #PhilippinesNews #WarshipsTransfer #ChinaExpansion ~ED.102~HT.408~GR.125~

Taiwan is conducting its largest-ever 10-day Han Kuang military drills amid escalating threats from China.

Taiwan Declares War Against China? |Unleashes US-Made Abrams Tanks In War Drills Amid China Threat

In a bold display of military preparedness, Taiwan has launched large-scale live-fire drills under its annual "Han Kuang" military exercise. These drills, the biggest in the island's history, include the debut of U.S.-made M1A2T Abrams tanks and a record mobilisation of reservists. President Lai Ching-te personally oversaw the training, asserting Taiwan’s readiness to defend against any Chinese aggression. Drones, tanks, and innovative new combat tactics were put to the test over the 10-day drill. With tensions escalating in the Taiwan Strait, this unprecedented military build-up sends a sharp message to Beijing. While China continues to ramp up pressure, Taiwan's latest exercises showcase not only resolve but modernization in warfare. The Han Kuang drills aren't just defensive—they're a signal that Taiwan is preparing for the unthinkable and doing so with Western-backed firepower. #TaiwanChinaTensions #TaiwanMilitaryDrills #HanKuangExercise #AbramsTanksTaiwan #ChinaThreat #TaiwanDefense #LiveFireDrills #TaiwanArmy #M1A2TAbrams #LaiChingTe #TaiwanWarPrep #USArmsTaiwan #IndoPacificSecurity #TaiwanStraitCrisis #ChinaInvasionFear #TaiwanDrones #ReservistMobilisation #TaiwanWarGames #TaiwanUSAlliance #DefendingTaiwan ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.125~

"WILL BOMB MOSCOW TO HELL": Leaked Trump-Putin Explosive Audio Reveals US Wanted World War 3

In a stunning revelation, a leaked audio clip from a private fundraiser has exposed the aggressive foreign policy approach of Donald Trump. The audio, first reported by CNN, allegedly captures Trump recounting a conversation with Vladimir Putin where he made a direct threat to bomb Moscow if Russia were to invade Ukraine. Trump claims that while Putin may not have fully believed him, the threat was credible enough ("he believed me 10%"). This gives a rare insight into the high-stakes conversations that happened behind closed doors during his presidency. The source of this explosive leak is reportedly a new book titled “2024,” written by journalists Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager, and Isaac Arnsdorf. The authors claim to have obtained the audio from the fundraiser, where Trump was speaking candidly to wealthy donors. This 'unleashed' side of Trump was not limited to Russia. The same leaked audio reveals Trump made a similar threat to Chinese President Xi Jinping, warning he would bomb Beijing if China launched an invasion of Taiwan. "He thought I was crazy," Trump is heard saying on the tape. These revelations come as Trump campaigns for the 2024 presidential election. He uses these anecdotes to argue that his aggressive and unpredictable negotiating style is what successfully prevented major global conflicts, specifically citing the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, which he claims would not have happened under his watch. The audio provides a stark look at the kind of "strongman" diplomacy Trump advocates for, a strategy he believes is necessary to prevent world powers from undermining the United States. #DonaldTrump #USPolitics #WorldNews #BreakingNews #Trump #Putin #LeakedAudio #OneindiaNews #USElection2024 #XiJinping #AudioLeaked #CNNAudioLeaked #TrumpAudioLeaked Also Read Trump Condemns Brazilian Authorities for Alleged Witch Hunt Against Bolsonaro :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-criticises-brazilian-authorities-witch-hunt-bolsonaro-011-7794385.html?ref=DMDesc US President Donald Trump Announces 25% Tariffs On Japan, South Korea :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-donald-trump-announces-25-tariffs-on-japan-south-korea-7794333.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Calls Musk’s America Party Plan ‘Ridiculous’ And ‘Unworkable’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-calls-musk-s-america-party-plan-ridiculous-and-unworkable-7793443.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~GR.122~ED.346~
