The United Kingdom is sending its military personnel and equipment to Belgium to help it bolster its defences following a series of sightings of “rogue” drones, suspected to be Russian.

Super Typhoon Fung-wong made landfall on the Philippines' eastern seaboard on Sunday, the national weather service confirmed. Before Typhoon's landfall on the east coast of the country, over a million people had been evacuated, and at least two deaths were reported.&nbsp;According to AFP, the state weather agency reported that the massive storm, whose radius covers nearly the entire Philippines, made landfall in Aurora province on Luzon island at 9:10 pm (1310 GMT). Fung-wong is forecast to unleash strong winds and torrential rain across much of the country, which is still reeling from Typhoon Kalmaegi that claimed over 220 lives last week.<h3>The Philippines confirmed two deaths due to Typhoon</h3>On Sunday, one of the already devastated central provinces in the central Philippines marked the first known death from Fung-wong. Meanwhile, Rescuer Juniel Tagarino in Catbalogan City stated that the body of a 64-year-old woman attempting to evacuate was recovered from under debris and fallen trees.&nbsp;"Last night, the wind was so strong and the rain was heavy... According to her family members, she might have forgotten something and went back inside her house," Tagarino said, AFP reported. He also added that her relatives were just 50 metres (55 yards) away when they figured out she was missing.&nbsp;Shortly after, the civil defence office confirmed a second death, a person who drowned in a flash flood on Catanduanes Island. In Aurora province, where the storm’s eye is predicted to make landfall, local government employee Aries Ora was seen reinforcing his home in Dipaculao town with steel sheets and wooden planks.&nbsp;“What really scares us is that the expected landfall is at night. Unlike previous typhoons, we won't be able to clearly see the movement of the wind and what's happening around us,” the 34-year-old told AFP.

Defending his tariff policy on Sunday, US President Donald Trump attacked his opponents in a post on Truth Social and called them “fools” while claiming that the levies were helping make America the richest nation. Trump also promised a $2,000 dividend per person as the US takes in “trillions of dollars” from tariffs. Trump defended his tariff policy and asserted that tariffs have made America stronger and wealthier. “People that are against Tariffs are FOOLS!” Trump wrote on Truth Social, claiming that under his leadership, the United States has become “the richest, most respected country in the world, with almost no inflation, and a record stock market price.”&nbsp;He further said that “401k’s are highest ever” and that the country is “taking in trillions of dollars” from tariffs, which he suggested would help the US “soon begin paying down our enormous debt, $37 trillion.”He was referring to 401(k), which is an employer-sponsored retirement savings plan in the US that allows employees to contribute a part of their salary toward their retirement, often with tax benefits.&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/liquor-snacks-and-phones-bengaluru-central-jail-inmates-party-and-dance-live-life-king-size-1762691248364">Liquor, snacks, and phones: Bengaluru Central Jail inmates party and dance, live life king size</a>&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;Trump further claimed that record investments were flowing into the US, with “plants and factories going up all over the place.” He added that a “dividend of at least $2,000 a person (not including high-income people!) will be paid to everyone,” though he did not share any further details about the proposed payout.&nbsp;Trump’s defence of his tariff policy becomes crucial as it follows the victory of Democrats in the recent elections.

‘People against tariffs are fools’: Trump says each American will be paid $2000 dividend

The Israeli military confirmed on Sunday that the Red Cross had received the remains of a hostage, whom Hamas claimed to be officer Hadar Goldin, killed in the Gaza war of 2014. Once the remains are brought into Israel, the country's forensic experts will determine the identity.&nbsp;"According to information provided by the Red Cross, a coffin of a deceased hostage has been transferred into its custody and is on the way to IDF troops in the Gaza Strip," the military said, news agency AFP reported.&nbsp;Earlier today, Hamas' armed wing group said in a statement on its Telegram channel, “The (Ezzedine) Al-Qassam Brigades will deliver the body of officer Hadar Goldin, which was found yesterday in a tunnel in the city of Rafah, at 2:00 pm (1200 GMT) Gaza time.”&nbsp;If the remains of the officer are confirmed, he would be the 24th deceased hostage whose body was returned by Hamas since the start of the current ceasefire on October 10. The body of Goldin has been in captivity in Gaza since he died in 2014. Until now, Hamas had never admitted his death or possession of his remains.&nbsp;Another Israeli soldier, identified as Oron Shaul, was also killed in the war in 2014. His body was recovered earlier this year amid the latest war that took place after Hamas's October 7, 2023, attack on Israel.&nbsp;The 23-year-old Goldin was part of an Israeli unit employed to locate and destroy Hamas tunnels when he was killed on August 1, 2014, just hours after a 72-hour humanitarian ceasefire took effect.&nbsp;The Israeli military stated that Goldin was killed when militants ambushed his unit and took his body. He is listed among the fallen hostages whose remains Israel aims to recover under the ongoing US-brokered ceasefire meant to end the latest Gaza conflict.<h3>Four bodies still held in Gaza</h3>At the beginning of the truce, Hamas was believed to be holding 20 living captives and the bodies of 28 others. Since then, it has freed all surviving hostages and handed over the remains of 23 deceased individuals, as stipulated in the ceasefire agreement.&nbsp;In return, Israel has released nearly 2,000 Palestinian detainees and repatriated the bodies of hundreds of Palestinians. Four bodies, three Israeli and one Thai, are still held in Gaza, all taken during the October 2023 assault.

A nationwide protest has been announced by the opposition in Pakistan on Sunday in light of the government's decision to pass the 27th Constitutional Amendment, which proposes changes in Article 243 and modifies the command hierarchy of the military.&nbsp;One of the key proposals in the amendment seeks to abolish the position of the Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee (CJCSC) and introduce a new role, the Chief of Defence Forces (CDF). This change could make the current army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, the first CDF of Pakistan.&nbsp;The proposal for the elevation of Munir comes in the wake of India’s Operation Sindoor, which targeted terror infrastructure in Pakistan-controlled areas as retaliation for the April Pahalgam attack. Other provisions include the establishment of a Federal Constitutional Court (FCC) and changes to appointment processes for the judges of the high court. It also proposes to reduce the powers of the Pakistan Supreme Court.<h3>The opposition alliance declared a nationwide protest</h3>In response, the Tehreek-e-Tahafuz Ayeen-e-Pakistan (TTAP), an alliance of opposition parties led by jailed former prime minister Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has announced a nationwide demonstration against the 27th Constitutional Amendment, according to the news agency PTI report.&nbsp;The TTAP slammed the government, stating that the amendment would shake the foundations of the Constitution. The chief of the TTAP member Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen (MWM), Allama Raja Nasir Abbas, said in a statement, "Democratic institutions have been paralysed within Pakistan... the nation must step up against the (proposed) 27th Amendment."&nbsp;Meanwhile, the Pashtunkhwa Milli Awami Party's (PkMAP) chief Mahmood Khan Achakzai, stated that the slogan of the protests would be "Long live democracy, down with dictatorship."&nbsp;He stated that the protests would demand the release of political detainees, adding that the opposition alliance was left with no option but to take to the streets in response to the government’s attempt to push the amendment through.

China halted a ban on approving exports of “dual-use items” related to gallium, germanium, antimony and super-hard materials to the US, Beijing’s Commerce Ministry announced on Sunday (Nov 9). Earlier imposed in December 2024, the suspension will remain in effect until November 27, 2026, the statement added. The restrictions banned the export of materials that have both civilian and military use.The announcement comes amid the trade talks between the two countries, after the ties between the US and China soured following President Donald Trump’s imposition of sweeping tariffs on its trade ally. Trump met with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, on October 30 in South Korea, where the two leaders agreed to de-escalate some punitive measures imposed during their tit-for-tat tariff war.China has sought to maintain its leverage over the critical minerals underpinning everything from smartphones to advanced military technology. Although Gallium, germanium and antimony are not classed as rare earth elements, they are vital for entire sectors of the economy.The country accounts for 94 per cent of the total gallium production in the world, according to a report by the European Union published in 2024. The material is used in integrated circuits, LEDs and photovoltaic panels. While for germanium, which is essential for fibre optics and infrared, China makes up 83 per cent of world production. Meanwhile, Antimony is used in battery technology and to reinforce armour plating and ammunition in the arms industryIn the statement, the ministry also announced lifting restrictions on exports of graphite-related products, which had been banned under the controls on dual-use goods.The move marks a step toward de-escalation taken by Beijing since the meeting between Trump and Xi.Earlier on Wednesday, China said that it would extend the suspension of additional tariffs on US imports for one year. It added that it would stop applying tariffs imposed since March on soybeans and several other agricultural goods from the US.

Typhoon Fung-wong reached super typhoon status on Sunday (Nov 9). The storm is expected to make landfall late at night and has a radius spanning nearly the entirety of the Philippines. Nearly a million people have been evacuated as the country braces for the second storm within days. The typhoon will hit the country just days after another one wreaked havoc with winds of 185 kilometres (115 miles) per hour near the centre and gusts of up to 230 kph, killing at least 204.The country has already recorded its first death as the storm nears. The body of a 64-year-old woman, who was killed while attempting to evacuate from her home in the central Philippines, was pulled from under debris and uprooted trees. Nearly 1,200,000 people have been preemptively evacuated ahead of the approaching typhoon, according to the government’s civil defence department.As of 11 am (0300 GMT), the typhoon was moving westward toward the main island of Luzon, with wind speeds of 140 kilometres per hour and gusts of 170 kph.Fung-wong is expected to bring strong winds and heavy rain to swathes of the archipelago nation. Schools and government offices were ordered to stay closed on Monday across the main island of Luzon, including the capital Manila. Nearly 300 flights have also been cancelled due to the approaching storm.Catanduanes, a small island that is expected to take a “direct hit”, was lashed by winds and rain early Sunday, with waves hurtling over streets along the coast and floodwaters increasing in some areas.“As we speak, they are feeling the impact of the typhoon, especially in Catanduanes, because the storm's eye is closest there,” civil defence deputy administrator Rafaelito Alejandro said at a press briefing.&nbsp;Typhoon Kalmaegi, which struck the country earlier this week, killed more than 200 people, with over 100 still missing. The storm also claimed at least 5 lives in Vietnam. It was one of the deadliest storms in the world this year.

As of 11 am (0300 GMT), the typhoon was moving westward toward the main island of Luzon, with wind speeds of 140 kilometres per hour and gusts of 170 kph. Fung-wong is expected to bring strong winds and heavy rain to swathes of the archipelago nation. Schools and government offices were ordered to stay closed on Monday across the main island of Luzon, including the capital Manila. Nearly 300 flights have also been cancelled due to the approaching storm. Catanduanes, a small island that is expected to take a “direct hit”, was lashed by winds and rain early Sunday, with waves hurtling over streets along the coast and floodwaters increasing in some areas. “As we speak, they are feeling the impact of the typhoon, especially in Catanduanes, because the storm's eye is closest there,” civil defence deputy administrator Rafaelito Alejandro said at a press briefing. Typhoon Kalmaegi, which struck the country earlier this week, killed more than 200 people, with over 100 still missing. The storm also claimed at least 5 lives in Vietnam. It was one of the deadliest storms in the world this year.

The typhoon will hit the country just days after another one wreaked havoc with winds of 185 kilometres (115 miles) per hour near the centre and gusts of up to 230 kph, killing at least 204.

A Chinese firm has sealed a deal with Nepal government to design its currency notes. Under the contract, the company will print 430 million pieces of Nepal's Rs 1,000 denomination banknotes, said officials. A letter of intent was given to the China Banknote Printing and Minting Corporation on Friday by Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) to design, print and supply the currency notes.&nbsp;According to the Currency Management Department of the bank, the cost of the total project stand at a whopping $16.985 million, reported news agency PTI.&nbsp;The contract was given to the Chinese company on the basis of the lowest evaluated bid.Notably the China Banknote Printing and Minting Corporation has previously printed Nepalese banknotes of Rs 5, Rs 10, Rs 100, and Rs 500 denominations.&nbsp;In the recent years China has been pressing hard to extend its political and economic engagement with Nepal.

Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli stepped down. Several ministers were assaulted, chased, and their homes were set afire by angry protesters. Rajyalaxmi Chitrakar, wife of former PM Jhalanath Khanal, died after her home was torched. Protesters also stormed and set fire to key government buildings, including Parliament, the PM’s residence, and the President’s house.&nbsp;While the trigger was a sweeping government move on September 4, when 26 social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Whatsapp and X were blocked, protesters, mostly youngsters, also came to the streets over rising corruption, a lack of accountability and inequality from the top echelons of the nation.

A tsunami warning was issued in Japan after a massive earthquake of magnitude 6.7 hit the northern Pacific region on Sunday (Nov 9). The tremors struck around 5:03 pm in the waters off Iwate. The Japan Meteorological Agency said that a tsunami was possible in the region with waves of up to one metre (three feet) high. Shortly after the advisory was issued, the agency said that small tsunami waves were observed.&nbsp;“A tsunami advisory has been issued,” the JMA said in a bulletin. It further warned that waves could strike the Iwate coast at any moment following the massive quake. Meanwhile, the US Geological Survey reported that the earthquake was of magnitude 6.8.&nbsp;National broadcaster NHK reported that offshore tsunami waves were observed and urged residents to stay away from coastal regions.&nbsp;According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, the first tsunami hit Miyako, Iwate, at 5:37 pm, but it was so small that the agency said it could not measure its size. Two minutes later, a 10-centimetre (less than four inches) wave reached Ofunato, it said.&nbsp;Japan is one of the world’s most seismically active countries. The island nation lies on top of four major tectonic plates along the western edge of the Pacific “Ring of Fire”. With a population of about 125 million people, Japan experiences about 1,500 earthquakes every year and accounts for about 18 per cent of the earthquakes in the world.&nbsp;Meanwhile, an earthquake of magnitude 5.4 struck India’s Andaman Islands at 12:06 pm (local time) on Sunday (Nov 9). The quake was recorded at a depth of 90 kilometres in the Andaman Sea, 126 kilometres southeast of Diglipur, according to the National Centre for Seismology. No loss of life or damage was immediately reported. Following the earthquake, Malaysia said that there was no tsunami threat in the region.

While the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) stated the earthquake’s magnitude as 6.07.&nbsp;Following the earthquake, Malaysia said that there was no tsunami threat in the region. Shallow earthquakes result in more damage than those which are deep. This is because shallow quakes have a shorter distance to travel to the surface, which results in stronger tremors on the ground and causes more damage to structures with a higher risk of casualties.&nbsp;The Andaman and Nicobar Islands are located at the top of one of the world’s most seismically active belts, which is categorised as Zone V seismic zone.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Saturday hinted at Moscow resuming nuclear tests on the orders of &nbsp;President Vladimir Putin's.

Trump has also cancelled a planned summit with Putin.<h2>What did Trump say on nuke tests, raising concerns in Moscow?</h2>&nbsp;On Nov 2, Trump claimed that other nations like &nbsp;Pakistan, North Korea, China, and Russia were conducting secret underground nuclear tests and that there was a need for US to do the same.“No, we’re going to test because they test and others test. And certainly North Korea’s been testing. Pakistan’s been testing," Trump said.&nbsp;“You don’t necessarily know where they’re testing. They test way underground where people don’t know exactly what’s happening with the test," he added.&nbsp;The comments came days after Trump ordered the US military to prepare for new nuclear weapons tests, the first since 1992. He argued that the move was necessary to ensure America’s arsenal remains reliable and to match what he described as covert testing by rival powers.<h2>The last time US tested nuclear weapons</h2>&nbsp;The last American nuclear test took place in September 1992 under Operation Julin, a series of seven underground explosions conducted before Washington signed the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT). The treaty, which bans all nuclear explosions for both civilian and military purposes, has been signed by 187 countries and ratified by 178. However, the United States — while a signatory — never ratified the CTBT, leaving room for future administrations to legally resume testing.

Tesla CEO, Elon Musk, is all set to become the world's first trillionaire as the company has approved a pay package of $1 trillion. As the news buzzes on the internet, many said the amount could end world hunger and even let Musk buy the top three US oil companies. But the real question is, what does Musk plan to do with this money? Well, it does not seem he has many plans, as the billionaire claimed multiple times previously that he likes to live a simple life.&nbsp;In multiple interviews, Musk said that he &nbsp;"prefers a simple lifestyle with few belongings". He said he refrains from spending on luxuries. In 2021, Musk had an interview with TED's Chris Anderson. He revealed there that he doesn't own a house and sleeps in a friend's spare bedroom.&nbsp;Meanwhile, in 2022, Musk's former partner Grimes, who shares two children with Musk, said, "Bro does not live like a billionaire. Bro lives at times below the poverty line." She said this in an interview with Vanity Fair. Grimes said Musk once refused to buy a new mattress despite it having a hole in it.&nbsp;Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/zohran-mamdani-to-be-removed-as-new-york-mayor-possible-if-this-trump-ally-wins-the-governor-s-race-1762606463923">Zohran Mamdani to be removed as New York mayor?

Turkey announced on Friday that it has issued an arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other senior officials for 'genocide' and 'crime against humanity' in Gaza. Israel rejected these allegations, calling them the ‘latest PR stunt’ by the tyrannical Erdogan. Istanbul's chief public prosecutor's office said that a total of 37 warrants were issued under ‘Article 13 of Turkey’s penal code’, which allows Turkey to prosecute personnel for crimes committed outside the country.&nbsp;“The October 17, 2023, attack on the al-Ahli Baptist Hospital claimed 500 lives; on February 29, 2024, Israeli soldiers deliberately destroyed medical equipment; … Gaza was placed under blockade, and victims were denied access to humanitarian aid,” it said. The statement also refers to the Turkish-Palestinian friendship hospital that was bombed by Israel in March 2025.Hamas welcomed the announcement, calling it a ‘commendable’ measure. It appreciated the sincerity of the leader and people of Turkey and their "values of justice, humanity and fraternity that bind them to our oppressed Palestinian people".Turkey, on November 3, 2025, hosted a string of top diplomats from the Islamic world to bring their influence to bear on the future of Gaza, as fears grow for the increasingly fragile truce.

However, the Israeli Prime Minister visited Hungary, which is a signatory to the Rome Statute, in April this year. Hungary refused to comply with the ICC arrest warrant and signalled to withdraw from the ICC in relation to this matter. Netanyahu has also visited the United States for the sessions of the United Nations General Assembly after the warrant, but he and his delegation used special flying routes to avoid countries that might work on the arrest warrant.

Zohran Mamdani, New York City's newly elected mayor, has one strong critic - US President Donald Trump. The American president, even hours before the polls, urged New Yorkers not to vote for the Indian-origin Muslim candidate, who became the youngest mayor of America's largest city after a century. But the intense poll campaign of the socialist and the massive fanbase he created online, especially among youngsters, still voted for him. The 34-year-old was announced the winner of the election on November 4. He is expected to take office on January 1, 2026.&nbsp;Amid all this, a speculation has arisen - can Mamdani be removed from the position or ousted? This came after Trump's ally, Elise Stefanik, formally announced her entry in the gubernatorial race for New York. She is running against New York Governor Kathy Hochul for the 2026 elections.&nbsp;Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/elon-musk-to-get-1000-000-000-000-but-where-will-he-spend-it-as-he-doesn-t-live-like-a-billionaire-1762621794454">Elon Musk to get $1000, 000, 000, 000 BUT where will he spend it as he ‘doesn't live like a billionaire'?</a>&nbsp;Hochul was the person who endorsed Mamdani for the mayoral role of the city.

And chances are, he could even have been ousted from his role.&nbsp;How can Stefanik remove Mamdani (If she wins)?&nbsp;If Stefanik wins the 2026 elections, she can use a rare gubernatorial power to remove Mamdani. As per the New York state constitution, the governor has the power to remove the mayor and other local officials from office.&nbsp;“The mayor may be removed from office by the governor upon charges and after service upon him of a copy of the charges and an opportunity to be heard in his defence. Pending the preparation and disposition of charges, the governor may suspend the mayor for a period not exceeding thirty days," as per the New York City Charter.&nbsp;Will that be an easy process?&nbsp;The process to remove the mayor from their position by the governor has formal legal steps. Charges must be lodged against the sitting mayor. The charges then get cross-examined, the mayor gets questioned, and then the removal could be done.

How can Stefanik remove Mamdani (If she wins)? If Stefanik wins the 2026 elections, she can use a rare gubernatorial power to remove Mamdani. As per the New York state constitution, the governor has the power to remove the mayor and other local officials from office. “The mayor may be removed from office by the governor upon charges and after service upon him of a copy of the charges and an opportunity to be heard in his defence. Pending the preparation and disposition of charges, the governor may suspend the mayor for a period not exceeding thirty days," as per the New York City Charter. Will that be an easy process? The process to remove the mayor from their position by the governor has formal legal steps. Charges must be lodged against the sitting mayor. The charges then get cross-examined, the mayor gets questioned, and then the removal could be done.

If Stefanik wins the 2026 elections, she can use a rare gubernatorial power to remove Mamdani. As per the New York state constitution, the governor has the power to remove the mayor and other local officials from office.

Zohran Mamdani to be removed as New York mayor? Possible if this Trump ally wins the governor's race

Pakistan is planning to establish a new top military position—the Commander of Defence Forces (CDF)—as part of key defence reforms aimed at improving coordination and establishing a unified command among the Army, Navy, and Air Force after the military conflict with India in May, said a report in Pakistan-based The News on Friday. The report further states that the proposal for creating the post of CDF is being considered through an amendment to Article 243 of Pakistan’s constitution. The step is said to have been influenced by the lessons learned from the heavy damage inflicted by India during the four-day conflict in May, as well as the growing need for integrated responses in modern warfare.&nbsp;On May 7, in retaliation to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, India launched precision strikes under Operation Sindoor and successfully targeted terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan-controlled areas. The operation led to four days of intense cross-border clashes, which concluded on May 10 after both sides agreed to halt hostilities.&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/pakistan-afghan-peace-talks-collapsed-says-khawaja-asif-no-surety-on-truce-1762546640330">Pakistan-Afghan peace talks have collapsed, says Khawaja Asif; no surety on truce</a>&nbsp;Last month, Indian Air Chief Marshal AP Singh stated that at least a dozen Pakistani aircraft, including U.S.-made F-16s, were destroyed or damaged in Indian strikes.

Former CIA officer Richard Barlow revealed in an interview with ANI that former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi did not approve pre-emptive strikes on Pakistan’s Kahuta nuclear facility, which he claims would have "solved a lot of problems" and stopped the nuclear ambitions of Pakistan. He also said that the US presidents until 1989 deliberately hid the fact of Pakistan's nuclear capability. Richard Barlow was a CIA counterproliferation officer during the 1980s secret nuclear activity in Pakistan.

<h2>Revelations from a former CIA officer, Richard Barlow</h2>“I can tell you that most of us at the CIA were not comfortable with this. Eventhough we are not elected officials, we can provide senior policymakers with the best available intelligence, which is accurate.” &nbsp;Said Barlow. He said that it was even mentioned in Seymour Hersh's 1993 article in The New Yorker. In the articles, Hersh mentions Pakistan had developed nuclear weapons with explicit consent from Bush and Regan, using restricted, high-tech materials purchased in the US."I was out of government from 1982 until 1985. And I think that may have occurred while I was out of government. I heard about it at some point. But I didn't get my teeth into it because it never happened," &nbsp;said Burlow. India and Israel were planning for preemptive strikes at nuclear sites in Kahuta. It's a plan which was not approved by Indira Gandhi, and also would not have been approved by the then US President Ronald Regan. He called it a ‘shame’. The US also did not want Israel to get involved, as it would have jeopardised the US's covert war in Afghanistan against the Soviet Union.Pakistan officials like Munir Ahmad Khan, former head of the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC), also used this as leverage that any stop in the aid would see the cessation of cooperation in Afghanistan. &nbsp;"I think Reagan would have cut Menachem Begin's ba**s off if he did anything like that. Because it would have interfered with the Afghan problem," said Burlow.

Former CIA officer Richard Barlow has claimed that India and Israel once planned a secret strike on Pakistan’s Kahuta nuclear facility, but then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi refused to approve it. The alleged covert operation aimed to halt Pakistan’s nuclear program in the 1980s.

For a long time, US President Donald Trump kept calling Zohran Mamdani, now mayor-elect of New York City, as “communist lunatic” who has a “grating voice and looks terrible.” Now he might have softened his stance as he hinted at helping Mamdani for the betterment of New York. However, he also said that Mamdani is off to a “bad start” as he delivered a very “angry speech” after his victory. Trump also said that the NYC-mayor elect should be very good to him as he will approve “a lot of things he needs.”

Zohran Mamdani’s old rap songs have resurfaced after his historic New York mayoral win. Music outlet Stereogum revealed a 2017 email where Mamdani, then a struggling rapper, promoted his song “Salaam.” Performing as Mr. Cardamom, he gained viral fame for tracks like “Nani” and “Kanda"

In the mail, Mamdani has requested Stereogum to share his new song titled "Salaam". Mamdani wrote that the song is about how a Muslim man feels in America and what fears he/she has to encounter and why. He also shafted link of his song cloud. Responding to the mail dated March 2017, Stereogum spologised and said they had missed the mail. A similar screenshot of the same mail sent to Passion of the Weiss founder Jeff Weiss was also shared on social media. Mamdani's rap songs have gone viral after his victory. Earlier during the campaign another song titled "Nani" went viral. Mamdani, as rapper released songs under the moniker of Mr. Cardamom. He even showed his love for Bollywood music during his victory speech as 'Dhoom Machale' played while he was on the stage. In teh 2017 song Salaam, Mamdani praises the 'Holy Land Five' — five men convicted in 2008 of donating over $12 million to Palestinian terror outfit Hamas. Among other rap songs of Mamdani that have found an audience is also his first single released in 2015, 'Kanda (Chap Chap)', where pays homage to roti or chapati.
