В ночь на 16 ноября Самарскую область России атаковали беспилотники: в областном центре и Новокуйбышевске прогремела серия взрывов, в сети пишут о поражении нескольких целей.

Российско-украинская война оказалась в худшей точке, и ни одна из сторон не может откровенно высказываться о желании мирных переговоров, ведь "не хочет казаться слабой". В то же время в Турции есть предложение по российско-украинским переговорам.

Mother Mary Comes to Me By Arundhati Roy Scribner Books ISBN: 978-1668094716 352pp. Our relationship with our mother is complicated; I dare say more than it is with our father. That is because, all over the world, the mother’s role is venerated as the provider of nurture and unconditional love. Anything that veers from that is vilified — think Mommie Dearest, the memoir, then movie, about Joan Crawford’s alleged abuse of her adopted daughter. That phrase conjures up the worst images about motherhood. This notion of mothers and motherhood being perfect also explains why there is still a lot of taboo around postpartum depression. To admit you’re feeling anything other than perfect following childbirth brings about feelings of shame because society places a lot of unrealistic pressures on women. Sure, things are changing and there are so many resources to help women with pregnancy, postpartum and parenting, but it takes a rare kind of no-holds-barred honesty to describe motherhood and/or mothers as complex, not ...

ISLAMABAD: Chagai and Quetta in Balochistan and Attock in Punjab were the top three districts across the country where most of Afghan Citizen Card (ACC) holders or undocumented Afghan nationals were arrested or detained in over 10 months this year, says a UN refugee agency report. The highest number of arrests or detentions were made in 2025, the report says, adding that a total of 100,971 Afghans were arrested from Jan 1 to Nov 8, 2025, whereas 9,006 Afghans were detained in 2024. In 2023, 26,299 Afghans were arrested. The UNHCR report, which was released on Friday, says that prior to 2023, there was no data collected on the arrest and detention of Afghan Citizen Card (ACC) holders or undocumented Afghan nationals. Since January 2023, International Organisation for Migration (IOM) has started to collect this data. From Nov 2 to 8, a total of 13,380 Afghan nationals were arrested and detained, marking a 72 per cent increase compared to the previous week. Out of all arrests and detentions during Nov 2 to 8, th...

UNITED NATIONS: Senior UN diplomats are cautiously optimistic that China and Russia may abstain rather than veto a US-sponsored Security Council resolution to authorise an international stabilisation force (ISF) in Gaza — a key test of the UN’s ability to back a postceasefire vision for the enclave, according to diplomatic sources. The draft resolution is expected to come up for vote in the UN Security Council on Monday, and would take effect if it secures at least nine affirmative votes and avoids a veto from any of the five permanent members (the US, China, Russia, Britain and France). “China will not veto the resolution, but Russia’s position is uncertain, and key as well,” said one senior diplomat. Another added, “both China and Russia may abstain, but they will not use their veto.” The draft resolution, formally circulated by the US, would authorise a two-year mandate for a transitional body called the Board of Peace, chaired by President Donald Trump, as proposed in his 20-point Gaza plan. It would also...

Враг может прибегать к "простейшей" диверсии, превращая обычные бытовые приборы, к которым подается питание, во взрывоопасные. Поэтому все "незнакомое", которое требует подключения к розетке, может представлять угрозу для жизни.

WisdomTree’s Will Peck said that crypto index ETFs will solve the need for those who don’t want to take on “idiosyncratic risk.” WisdomTree’s head of digital assets, Will Peck, anticipates that exchange-traded funds (ETF) that hold diversified baskets of cryptocurrencies will fill a significant gap in the market in the coming years. “It does seem like that’s going to be one of the next waves of adoption,” Peck told Cointelegraph at The Bridge conference in New York City on Wednesday. “It solves a need, I think,” he added. Peck explained that although many new investors now understand the concept of Bitcoin (BTC), they often struggle to judge the “next 20 range of assets.” He said a multi-asset crypto basket provides them with exposure to the sector while mitigating the “idiosyncratic risk” of investing in individual tokens.

Over the last 50-plus years, I have sat through numerous presentations on government, NGO, masters and PhD students’ development projects, in various countries, both in what is now known as the global North and global South. In addition, international financial institutions (IFIs), such as the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank, have also sought my assistance. I have also been a member of various United Nations committees on physical and social development, and a consultant to them. As the chief adviser and the chairperson of the Orangi Pilot Project (OPP) and the Urban Resource Centre (URC), I have challenged the structure of thinking of many such projects and documented my concerns regularly. The most important thing I have learned in the process is that most of these projects have a very strong anti-poor bias and are primarily concerned with brick and mortar aspects of problems. ANTI-POOR BIAS As far as academia is concerned, almost all teachers and supervisors bring their class prejudices with them...

An 1895 photograph in Las Bela, in the south-west of modern-day Balochistan, by Col Patrick Alexander Weir, a British medical officer serving in British India, shows a small mausoleum. On it, a cross stands on top of a dome and another large cross is placed on the tomb itself. Today, both crosses are gone and the site is fast approaching dereliction. Nearby at Bara Bagh, the necropolis of Las Bela’s ruling Jams fares little better. The subject of Weir’s photograph is the tomb of Robert Groves Sandeman, the British Raj army officer who laid down and executed the colonial blueprint in securitising modern-day Balochistan, playing on the suspicions of different Baloch groups with one another. Sandeman died in January 1892, days before turning 58. After months of ill-health and a summer in Scotland, he returned to the Subcontinent in November 1891, spending Christmas in Quetta before travelling to Las Bela — his final resting place. PART OF THE GREAT GAME Las Bela had become an important port of call for Sandeman,...

DIVERSITY is central to the human spirit. The International Day for Tolerance, which is being observed today, is a reminder that acceptance and appreciation bind us, and that the divergence of opinions, cultures, behaviour, heritage and beliefs close the loopholes in our social fabric. Ancient societies were rife with intolerance. Sadly, despite education and scientific advancements, we are witnessing a global regression towards earlier patterns due to misplaced superiority. Power, in all its manifestations, seeks to control the vulnerable. In Pakistan’s turbulent societal setting, governments weaponise fear, which creates insularity and animosity. We need a greater sense of security for more harmony among our people. Some have different faiths, others different politics, ethnicity, aspirations and practices. All these should translate into collective growth. The path to prosperity lies in valuing differences. A firm stand against intolerance of any kind hinges on how committed the state, citizens and the cle...
