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.

The Russia-Ukraine war has entered a brutal new phase. In July 2025, Russia unleashed its largest-ever aerial assault on Kyiv, a sign of its growing dominance on the battlefield. But how did we get here? This in-depth report from Oneindia News examines the seismic shifts that have given Vladimir Putin the upper hand after years of stalemate.
The primary catalyst was the 2024 U.S. election and the return of Donald Trump. We analyze how Trump's "America First" policy led to a complete halt in military aid to Ukraine, a stark contrast to the billions pumped in under the Joe Biden administration. From Trump's vow to end the war in "24 hours" to backchannel talks with Moscow, his actions effectively isolated Kyiv and gave Russia a green light to escalate its offensive.
Beyond the White House, Russia itself has adapted. Learning from early failures, Moscow embraced a brutal war of attrition, bolstered by massive support from allies like North Korea and Iran, and an economic lifeline from China. With 450,000 new recruits in 2024, Russia’s overwhelming manpower is crushing Ukrainian defenses. Meanwhile, Ukraine is facing a catastrophic crisis of its own. With its military stretched thin, a severe shortage of soldiers and ammunition, and war fatigue setting in, the nation's survival hangs in the balance. Despite innovative tactics like the "Operation Spider's Web" drone strikes, can President Zelenskyy's forces survive without robust Western support?
This video explains the intricate web of geopolitics, military strategy, and leadership changes that define the current state of the war. As Russia pushes forward, we ask the critical question: Is Ukraine's defeat now inevitable?

North Korea is reportedly preparing to deploy up to 30,000 troops to support Russia’s war in Ukraine, marking one of the most significant foreign reinforcements since the conflict began. Intelligence sources say Pyongyang has already lost at least 4,000 soldiers fighting alongside Russian forces.

U.S. President Donald Trump has reignited speculation about a possible diplomatic breakthrough with North Korea, stating he will "get the conflict solved" while referencing his previous “great relationship” with Kim Jong Un. At a White House event, Trump sidestepped questions about a recent letter allegedly sent to the North Korean leader.
However, NK News reports that Pyongyang’s UN delegation refused to accept any such letter, suggesting a strained atmosphere. Trump and Kim had met thrice during Trump’s first term, but nuclear talks ultimately collapsed over disarmament disagreements.
Trump now hints at reviving that momentum, framing his personal diplomacy as a unique path to resolution. The situation remains murky amid the absence of official confirmation from either side. Still, Trump’s remarks have sparked new questions about a potential U.S.-North Korea thaw—especially as global tensions remain high and his foreign policy narrative pivots back toward high-stakes summits and unconventional outreach.

In a high-stakes meeting amid growing trade hostilities, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio met Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Kuala Lumpur during the East Asia Summit. This marked Rubio's first Asia visit since taking office, aiming to reaffirm U.S. presence in the Indo-Pacific. However, Trump's sudden tariff offensive—slapping 25-40% duties on major Asian economies—has intensified regional friction. China condemned the U.S. move as "bullying behavior," warning nations against cutting Beijing from global supply chains.
Rubio also discussed security and tech cooperation with Japanese, South Korean, and Southeast Asian leaders. While Rubio remained tight-lipped during the talks, Wang launched a blistering critique of U.S. policies. Meanwhile, ASEAN ministers voiced alarm over trade disruptions, signaling a tilt toward diversification. With deadlines looming and diplomacy on edge, the clash of giants over Asia’s future has just begun.

U.S Escalates Global Trade War: U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a sweeping 35% tariff on Canadian imports starting August 1st — warning that the rate will increase if Canada retaliates. In a fiery letter sent to Canadian PM Mark Carney via social media, Trump doubled down on his protectionist policies, also targeting U.S. allies like Japan and South Korea with blanket tariffs ranging from 15% to 20%. Copper imports have been hit with a staggering 50% duty.
Global markets are rattled. Allies are on edge. Is this the return of full-blown tariff wars? Or a strategic push to revive American manufacturing?
Canadian officials have vowed to protect workers. But will this trigger a broader trade showdown?

President Trump has issued new tariff letters to six more countries—Philippines, Brunei, Moldova, Algeria, Iraq, and Libya—via Truth Social, with 20–30% duties set to begin August 1. This follows his April plan to reset global trade, which was paused for 90 days. Trump warns rates may shift depending on diplomatic ties. With only two deals struck so far, the unilateral tariff campaign risks global retaliation and further disruption to supply chains amid rising trade tensions.

Giant billboards of Donald Trump and Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa have appeared in Damascus, thanking Trump for lifting U.S. sanctions on Syria. The hoardings read “Strong Leaders Make Peace” and “Syrian People Thank You.” This follows Trump’s June 30 executive order ending broad sanctions to support Syria’s post-Assad regime. Al-Sharaa, a controversial former Al-Nusra figure, has pledged inclusive governance. Trump met him in May, calling him “tough” and “attractive,” marking the first U.S.-Syria leader meeting in 20+ years.

The United States has confirmed it is sending another Patriot air defense system to Ukraine to help the war-torn nation counter Russia's escalating aerial assaults. This decision comes as former President Donald Trump issued a strong statement, bashing Russian President Vladimir Putin for his aggressive military strategy. For months, Ukraine has pleaded for more advanced air defense, as the previous freeze in U.S. military aid allowed Russian warplanes to dominate the skies and launch devastating strikes with ballistic missiles like the Iskander and the hypersonic Kinzhal.
The Patriot system is considered Ukraine's only reliable and effective shield against these specific high-speed threats. Its advanced radar and PAC-3 MSE interceptors are critical for protecting high-value targets, including the capital city of Kyiv, and vital energy infrastructure that Russia has systematically targeted. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that Ukraine needs more of these systems, as the current six to eight units leave vast areas of the country exposed to Russian attacks.
However, the deployment is not without risks. Each Patriot missile costs between $2-4 million, and Russia actively targets these valuable systems on the battlefield. The U.S. itself has a limited global inventory of Patriot units, balancing urgent requests from Ukraine with strategic commitments to allies in the Middle East and the South China Sea. This deployment signals a critical phase in the Russia-Ukraine war, testing both Ukrainian resilience and American strategic resolve.
