Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi has launched a sharp attack on PM Modi for avoiding a direct denial of Donald Trump's repeated claims that the U.S. mediated a ceasefire between India and Pakistan. Gandhi questioned why Modi refuses to name Trump in Parliament, hinting that silence could be tied to upcoming trade deals. Congress alleges that Trump’s claim has gone unchallenged 30 times. As tensions rise, Modi's restraint is fueling political backlash, with the Opposition claiming a cover-up and calling the PM’s silence a national concern.

A violent confrontation broke out in Kiev as Ukrainian conscription officers attempted to forcefully recruit a young man on the street. Video shared by RT shows the man escaping a draft van, prompting his family and locals to attack the officers. The brawl escalated into torn uniforms and chaotic resistance. Under martial law, men aged 18–60 are subject to conscription, and Ukraine has recently lowered the draft age amid military shortages. The incident highlights growing public anger over forced recruitment as the war with Russia drags on.

As Russia unveils its hypersonic “Oreshnik” missile capable of Mach 10 speeds, former President Trump doubles down on his vision of a $25B “impenetrable missile defense dome.” Marketed as America’s answer to global threats, the so-called "Golden Dome" faces serious skepticism. Experts warn the U.S. remains vulnerable, with no existing defense proven to stop missiles like Oreshnik. While Trump promises next-gen protection, Russia’s battlefield display in Ukraine sends a chilling message: the future of warfare is already here—and America might be a step behind.

Russia has ramped up its assault on Ukraine after former President Trump issued a final nuclear warning. In a fiery response, President Putin confirmed the deployment of Oreshnik ballistic missiles capable of reaching U.S. cities. The Russia-Ukraine conflict has now escalated into a dangerous Trump vs Putin showdown, with nuclear threats, drone attacks in Crimea, and soaring casualties in Kyiv. As fears of a NATO-Russia confrontation grow, the global community watches nervously. Trump, meanwhile, has commissioned new nuclear submarines—signaling a chilling new phase of geopolitical warfare.

More than 580 Palestinians have been killed and over 4,200 injured while standing in line for humanitarian aid in Gaza, according to the latest data from the Gaza Media Office. Eyewitness reports and Israeli media reveal shocking claims that IDF soldiers were ordered to fire on unarmed, starving civilians—men, women, and children—desperate for food.
The UN has condemned the US-Israel airdrop system as a “death trap”, calling it a catastrophic failure of humanitarian response. A new study, led by the University of London and Palestinian scholars, reveals that nearly 100,000 people have died since the start of Israel’s war on Gaza—most from airstrikes, many from starvation and disease.
This video unpacks the systematic targeting of civilians, the crumbling infrastructure, and the global silence in the face of a growing humanitarian catastrophe. Rights groups are calling this a modern genocide. Will the world act before it's too late?
