US President Donald Trump’s new Middle East requires ‘Bibisitters’

A controversy has broken out after Bangladesh Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus held a high level meeting with Pakistani General Sahir Shamshad Mirza recently. Bangladesh's interim leader shared pictures of him gifting a book to Mirza. However, it raised eyebrows in India as some reports claimed that the book depicted parts of northeast India as part of Bangladesh. The map was printed on the cover of a book that was presented to Mirza on at the state guest house Jamuna on Saturday (Oct 25). The book was titled Art of Triumph.&nbsp;In a statement, the Bangladesh government called the report “completely false and fabricated." “The collection is a pictorial documentation of the mass uprising, capturing the historic struggle and sacrifice of students and citizens. The publication was released by the July Memorial Foundation," it added.&nbsp;The Indian government has yet not responded to the development. After the meeting, Yunus’s office stated that discussions focused on strengthening bilateral trade, investment, and defence ties. General Mirza’s visit followed that of Pakistan’s Foreign Minister and Deputy PM Ishaq Dar in August, who urged Bangladesh to “move forward” from the 1971 war’s painful legacy.&nbsp;“Emphasising the shared historical, cultural and people-to-people ties between the two countries, General Mirza expressed Pakistan’s desire to strengthen cooperation in multiple sectors. He noted the vast potential for expanding trade, connectivity, and investment between Bangladesh and Pakistan,” said the Chief Adviser’s office in a press note.&nbsp;Earlier in August, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar &nbsp;had said that India is closely monitoring developments that have national security implications, including those about the anti-India map being diplayed in Bangladesh. On behalf of the government, Jaishankar said that his ministry has taken note of an Islamic group in Dhaka named ‘Saltanat-e-Bangla’, which is backed by a Turkish NGO called the 'Turkish Youth Federation', that has put out a map of the so-called ‘Greater Bangladesh’ that includes parts of India. A Turkish NGO-backed Islamist group in Dhaka allegedly displayed maps of ‘Greater Bangladesh’ — which comprised several Indian states of the Eastern and Northeast regions. According to a report published by the Economic Times, a group ‘Saltanat-e-Bangla’ allegedly put out the controversial map of "Greater Bangladesh". The map marked Myanmar's Arakan State, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, and the entire Northeast region of India as part of ‘Greater Bangladesh’.&nbsp;

Despite US President Donald Trump's ire, Ontario declined to apologise for sponsoring an anti-tariff television advertisement that resulted in end of Canada's trade talks with America. Trump had on Saturday (Oct 25) tincreased tariffs on Canada by an additional 10 per cent "above what they're paying now."&nbsp;&nbsp;In a post on Truth Social, Trump said that he had taken the decision over a tariff-related ad by Canada's Ontario province, featuring a video of former US President Ronald Reagan. Trump said that the ad was misleading as Reagan was quoted saying in the ad that tariffs cause trade wars and economic disaster. Trump's reaction came a day after it was aired during the World Series broadcast. On Thursday, Trump reacted to the ad for the first time and ended trade talks with Canada.&nbsp;Ontario Premier Doug Ford told reporters at the province’s legislature in Toronto, “We have achieved our goal, to make sure that conversation starts with the American people, and with their elected officials, and my goodness, it’s started all right. The best ad that ever ran, I’ll tell you,” he said.&nbsp;Ontario’s advertisement features Ronald Reagan’s voice criticising tariffs on imports, warning they lead to job losses and trade conflicts. It pieces together five full sentences from one of his weekly speeches, rearranged out of order. The ad omits that Reagan’s remarks were made while justifying limited tariffs on Japan as an unfortunate but necessary exception to his strong support for free trade. It cited the Republican icon as saying "high tariffs inevitably lead to retaliation by foreign countries and the triggering of fierce trade wars", a quote that matches a transcript of his speech on the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library's website.&nbsp;&nbsp;“Their Advertisement was to be taken down, IMMEDIATELY, but they let it run last night during the World Series, knowing that it was a FRAUD,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, angrily. However, on Oct 27, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Monday he was ready to talk with Trump.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Monday he was ready to talk with US President Donald Trump after Washington hiked tariffs on Canadian goods by an additional 10 percent. "We stand ready to sit down with the United States, myself with the president, my colleagues with their colleagues, when the US is ready to sit down," Carney told reporters, after Trump said he had terminated all trade talks with Canada over what he called a "fake" advertisement campaign.&nbsp;Carney was speaking on the sidelines of a regional summit in Malaysia, which Trump attended, before leaving on Monday for Japan.

Russia's foreign ministry has alerted its citizens regarding travel to the US. The advisory has advised them of potential risks and they have been asked to evaluate the potential risks. This travel advisory comes to light after recent incidents where Russian nationals have been detained by law enforcement agencies in the US. This has been done under questionable charges, which include the alleged kidnapping of their own children when attempting to leave the country.&nbsp;The ministry highlighted that there have been troubling regressions into "vicious practices" of US law enforcement. Specifically, Russian citizens – primarily women – have been detained on what the ministry considers baseless accusations of kidnapping minors born from marriages with Americans.&nbsp;In its statement, the ministry strongly recommends that Russian travelers carefully consider all possible dangers before visiting the United States and, if possible, avoid such travel altogether.&nbsp;Numerous examples underscore these concerns. Although the ministry refrained from disclosing personal details, it shared a notable case to illustrate the issue. Last spring, a Russian woman was detained upon arrival at a New York airport after her ex-husband accused her of unlawfully taking their daughter from their home. US authorities dismissed crucial context, such as the child's birth certificate, which indicated the absence of the father's name, and relied solely on DNA test results provided by the ex-husband. Compounding the issue, her second child, whom she had traveled to the US to retrieve, was with her ex-husband at the time of her detention.&nbsp;The Foreign Ministry characterised this incident as a form of hostage-taking aimed at returning the child to the United States.&nbsp;The Russian embassy in Washington is actively involved, providing consular and legal assistance to the detained woman. The ministry has assured that they will demand her release and her reunification with her children, asserting that the resolution of this situation should follow legal and civilized procedures. Meanwhile, the daughter is currently residing in Russia with her grandmother, who is receiving support through the Russian Presidential Commissioner for Children's Rights to obtain guardianship.&nbsp;&nbsp;(With agency inputs)

US President Donald Trump on Monday (Oct 27) said that he had undergone an MRI examination. The statement come amid reignited concerns regarding the 79-year-old president’s health after his visibly swollen ankles were spotted during a summit in Kuala Lumpur on Sunday. Trump attended the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Summit then travelled to Japan on Monday. He will also be travelling to South Korea as part of his six day Asia tour.“It was perfect,” he told reporters of the MRI test on board Air Force One en route to Tokyo, without providing details on why he underwent the medical examination.A magnetic resonance imaging scan, which uses magnets and radio waves, can create detailed images of the inside of the body that can be used for monitor a range of conditions.Trump is the second oldest person to serve as US president and the oldest to be inaugurated as US president after he retook the White House in January to serve his second term.Earlier this month, Trump’s doctor said that he was in “exceptional health” following a medical evaluation. Following concerns about the president’s health, White House in July admitted that Trump was experiencing swelling in his lower legs and bruising on his right hand due to “chronic venous insufficiency,” a benign and common condition, especially in people over 70 years old. Trump’s health fears had surfaced pictures showed his swollen ankles and makeup covering the afflicted part of his hand.Trump’s physician, Sean Barbabella, said that the bruising on his hand was consistent with minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking and aspirin use, which Trump takes as part of a “standard cardiovascular prevention regimen.” Since then, White House has down played concerns regarding Trump’s health, without providing details on how the leg issue is being treated.

US President Donald Trump signed a flurry of trade deals and framework agreements with Southeast Asian governments on Sunday as his sweep through the region began at a summit in Malaysia. Trump's first visit to Asia since his return to the White House in January appeared to alleviate some fears in a region already bruised by the trade war sparked by his sweeping tariffs. He also secured promises of greater cooperation on the key issue of rare earths as Washington scrambles to break China's stranglehold on materials that enable a wide array of modern technology.&nbsp;<h2>Rare mineral</h2>&nbsp;The US president inked two memoranda of understanding with Malaysia and Thailand, both seeking to "strengthen cooperation" on critical minerals.&nbsp;The deals, which lack specifics, come as the United States grapples with restrictions on rare earths exports imposed by China -- the world's top producer of the minerals crucial to the auto, electronics and defence industries.A separate trade deal signed with the Malaysian government says Kuala Lumpur had agreed to increase US access to rare minerals in the country, and to the "expedient development" of the industry "in partnership with US companies".Another agreement with Cambodia offers the United States access to the kingdom's rare earths industry.&nbsp;Lynn Kuok, a Southeast Asia expert at Brookings Institution, said that Trump's visit to the region "could help place the relationship on a more positive course, for example, by giving momentum to working-level cooperation on mutually beneficial projects such as critical minerals".&nbsp;But for the governments that also rely on ties to Beijing, "what is at stake is preserving room to manoeuvre and strategic autonomy," she said.&nbsp;<h2>Malaysia</h2>&nbsp;The agreement Trump signed with Malaysia's Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim keeps Washington's 19 percent tariffs in place but grants several exemptions, most notably for agricultural goods.Malaysia, in return, will "provide significant preferential market access for US industrial goods", including cars and agricultural exports.&nbsp;Anwar's government has also promised to order 30 aircraft from US maker Boeing -- plus "a purchase option" of 30 more -- and to buy semiconductors, aerospace components and data centre equipment at a cost of $150 billion.It will also invest $70 billion in the United States over the next decade, and buy more American gas, according to the agreement.&nbsp;The issue of semiconductor exports remains unresolved, for now, with Trump looking to impose more tariffs on imported chips.&nbsp;This could have a major effect on Malaysia, the world's sixth-largest producer of semiconductors, which account for about 40 percent of its exports.&nbsp;Analyst Michael Wan of financial group MUFG said that "Malaysia's trade deal does not include any agreement on semiconductor and electronics tariffs" -- a key question that "will continue to cloud the picture for Asia's exports".&nbsp;<h2>Cambodia</h2>&nbsp;An agreement with Cambodia, much like the one signed with Malaysia, maintains US tariffs at 19 percent but offers exemptions. Cambodia, under the agreement, will maintain zero tariffs on US exports and "allow and facilitate US investment" to explore, extract and process critical minerals and energy resources.&nbsp;<h2>Vietnam</h2>&nbsp;Vietnam agreed with Washington in July to reduce US tariffs on its exports to 20 percent, averting a 46 percent rate.A framework agreement signed on Sunday maintains the 20 percent rate but offers zero tariffs on some goods, which have yet to be decided.&nbsp;Vietnam has agreed to "provide preferential market access" for US exports and ease regulatory barriers. Flag carrier Vietnam Airlines will purchase 50 Boeing aircraft, at an estimated cost of $8 billion. Other companies have agreed to buy "US agricultural commodities, with a total estimated value of over $2.9 billion", according to a joint statement. The details will be finalised "in the coming weeks", it said.&nbsp;A key unresolved issue has to do with US tariffs on goods manufactured in one country but exported to the United States from elsewhere -- a policy largely aimed at China.&nbsp;Under the July agreement, goods deemed to be "transshipped" face an additional 40 percent duty. But many Vietnamese industries use components imported from China, and have no clear definition for what Washington considers "transhipped" goods or what percentage of its parts must be locally produced to avoid higher taxes. Tariffs on furniture -- 10 percent of Vietnam's exports to the United States -- also hang in the balance, after Trump introduced extra industry-specific duties.&nbsp;<h2>Thailand&nbsp;</h2>&nbsp;Trump signed a framework trade agreement with Thailand, to be finalised "in the coming weeks", according to a joint statement. The deal offers exemptions from the 19 percent tariff rate on Thai goods, in exchange for eliminating nearly all duties on US goods sent to Thailand. The agreement also includes the purchase of 80 US aircraft valued at $18.8 billion, and more agriculture and energy deals.

He also secured promises of greater cooperation on the key issue of rare earths as Washington scrambles to break China's stranglehold on materials that enable a wide array of modern technology. Rare mineral The US president inked two memoranda of understanding with Malaysia and Thailand, both seeking to "strengthen cooperation" on critical minerals. The deals, which lack specifics, come as the United States grapples with restrictions on rare earths exports imposed by China -- the world's top producer of the minerals crucial to the auto, electronics and defence industries. A separate trade deal signed with the Malaysian government says Kuala Lumpur had agreed to increase US access to rare minerals in the country, and to the "expedient development" of the industry "in partnership with US companies". Another agreement with Cambodia offers the United States access to the kingdom's rare earths industry. Lynn Kuok, a Southeast Asia expert at Brookings Institution, said that Trump's visit to the region "could help place the relationship on a more positive course, for example, by giving momentum to working-level cooperation on mutually beneficial projects such as critical minerals". But for the governments that also rely on ties to Beijing, "what is at stake is preserving room to manoeuvre and strategic autonomy," she said. Malaysia The agreement Trump signed with Malaysia's Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim keeps Washington's 19 percent tariffs in place but grants several exemptions, most notably for agricultural goods. Malaysia, in return, will "provide significant preferential market access for US industrial goods", including cars and agricultural exports. Anwar's government has also promised to order 30 aircraft from US maker Boeing -- plus "a purchase option" of 30 more -- and to buy semiconductors, aerospace components and data centre equipment at a cost of $150 billion. It will also invest $70 billion in the United States over the next decade, and buy more American gas, according to the agreement. The issue of semiconductor exports remains unresolved, for now, with Trump looking to impose more tariffs on imported chips. This could have a major effect on Malaysia, the world's sixth-largest producer of semiconductors, which account for about 40 percent of its exports. Analyst Michael Wan of financial group MUFG said that "Malaysia's trade deal does not include any agreement on semiconductor and electronics tariffs" -- a key question that "will continue to cloud the picture for Asia's exports". Cambodia An agreement with Cambodia, much like the one signed with Malaysia, maintains US tariffs at 19 percent but offers exemptions. Cambodia, under the agreement, will maintain zero tariffs on US exports and "allow and facilitate US investment" to explore, extract and process critical minerals and energy resources.

US President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform to post about Tylenol and vaccines on Sunday (Oct 27). However, he was trolled on social media, including by California Gov. Gavin Newsom, for misspelling hepatitis as “hepatitas”. The governor slammed the US president, saying that he would not take medical advice from someone who can’t spell hepatitis.“Pregnant Women, DON’T USE TYLENOL UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, DON’T GIVE TYLENOL TO YOUR YOUNG CHILD FOR VIRTUALLY ANY REASON, BREAK UP THE MMR SHOT INTO THREE TOTALLY SEPARATE SHOTS (NOT MIXED!), TAKE CHICKEN P SHOT SEPARATELY, TAKE HEPATITAS B SHOT AT 12 YEARS OLD, OR OLDER, AND, IMPORTANTLY, TAKE VACCINE IN 5 SEPARATE MEDICAL VISITS! President DJT,” Trump wrote.In response, Newsom wrote, “Won’t be taking medical advice from someone who can’t spell hepatitis and looks like this.”

Several other social media users mocked Trump over his recent medical advice.“Trump’s ‘medical advice’ is as reliable as his business advice, bankrupt, delusional, and a threat to everyone who trusts it,” a user wrote. Another wrote, “Grossly ignorant &amp; irresponsible post from Trump. No individual measles, mumps, or rubella vaccines even exist. Will take years to create. Hopefully Americans are not stupid enough to take medical advice from sociopathic failed condo salesman who cosplays at being president.”“I take medical advice exclusively from spelling bee champions,” one joked. A user said, “I’d advise him to try a stair machine but he’d probably break it and blame the left.”One said, “Hepatitas, brother of Syphilis, God of Dementia!” Another said, “It’s wild how people with no medical background suddenly become experts online. I’ll take real science and verified doctors over political rants any day.”

US President Donald Trump on Monday (Oct 27) said that Argentina’s President Javier Milei has a “lot of help” from the United States in his party’s landslide victory in the midterm elections. Trump’s remarks come after Milei’s La Libertad Avanza (LLA) party secured a win in Sunday’s polls, rebounding from a series of setbacks with 40.7 per cent of the votes. The Trump administration had earlier offered a bailout potentially worth $40 billion to the country but warned it could reconsider support if Milei did not perform well.Speaking on a trip to Asia, Trump hailed Milei’s win, calling it an unexpectedly “big win” and saying that it was “a great thing.”“He had a lot of help from us. He had a lot of help. I gave him an endorsement, a very strong endorsement,” Trump said aboard Air Force One. He also praised his top officials, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who was overseeing the financial assistance to Argentina.“We are sticking with a lot of the countries in South America. We focus very much on South America,” Trump said. Ahead of the voting in Argentina, Trump signed $20 billion currency swap to support Milei. He also proposed a $20 billion debt investment facility.“We’ve made a lot of money based on that election, because the bonds have gone up. Their whole debt rating has gone up,” Trump said, but added that the US was “not in that for the money, per se.” Speaking to reporters, Bessent described the assistance as a “bridge” to help Milei’s economic project.“He’s working against 100 years of bad policies,” he said. “He’s gonna break them thanks to support from the United States.”

New York mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani, in an interview, said that he would take US President Donald Trump’s administration to court once he becomes the mayor. Mamdani, who until a few months ago was an unknown local lawmaker, has in recent days burst onto the New York political scene and is closing in on becoming the first Muslim mayor of America's most populous city. Speaking to CNN, the NYC mayoral hopeful was asked about Trump’s latest pronouncements, sending troops to different US cities and if he could “really stop armoured vehicles from rolling down Canal Street with lawyers”. Here’s what he said.Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/trump-scared-of-putin-s-new-nuclear-powered-missile-all-about-russia-s-flying-chernobyl-1761552724460">Trump scared of Putin’s new nuclear-powered missile? All about Russia’s ‘Flying Chernobyl’</a><h2>Mamdani to sue Trump?</h2>New York mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani has vowed to take Trump’s administration to court if elected, saying the city must stand up to Washington instead of collaborating with it. Speaking in the interview, the Democratic Socialist and state assemblyman from Queens acknowledged that many cities were “treating Trump’s pronouncements as law” but promised to resist.“What we would do in running this city is first to actually take this administration to court and to do so immediately, as opposed to being pressured into it,” Mamdani said.He cited Boston Mayor Michelle Wu’s defiance after Trump threatened to strip the city of its World Cup hosting rights. “When the president said that he was going to take away World Cup hosting responsibilities from Boston, she responded to it as it should be responded to, which is that this is ridiculous. This is a violation of agreements that have already been signed,” Mamdani said, promising to bring the same approach to New York.“It's important for New Yorkers to know that they have someone who's actually standing up for them,” he noted.Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/trump-provoking-a-war-in-caribbean-venezuela-slams-us-exercises-in-trinidad-claims-arrest-of-cia-backed-mercenaries-1761545584808">Trump 'provoking a war in Caribbean'?

Both left-wing figures joined Mamdani at a massive rally in Queens on Sunday, a day after early voting began.“We will send a loud message to President Donald Trump that his authoritarianism is no good here,” AOC told cheering crowds, who responded with chants of “AOC.”Sanders said the world was watching New York’s election closely. “These are not normal times,” he said. “This election takes place at a time when we have a president who has given a trillion dollars in tax breaks to the top one per cent.”

NYC mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani says he’ll take Trump’s administration to court if elected, vowing to “stand up to Washington.” Backed by Bernie Sanders and AOC, Mamdani says cities shouldn’t treat Trump’s orders as law — “New York must fight back.”

Speaking in the interview, the Democratic Socialist and state assemblyman from Queens acknowledged that many cities were “treating Trump’s pronouncements as law” but promised to resist. “What we would do in running this city is first to actually take this administration to court and to do so immediately, as opposed to being pressured into it,” Mamdani said. He cited Boston Mayor Michelle Wu’s defiance after Trump threatened to strip the city of its World Cup hosting rights. “When the president said that he was going to take away World Cup hosting responsibilities from Boston, she responded to it as it should be responded to, which is that this is ridiculous. This is a violation of agreements that have already been signed,” Mamdani said, promising to bring the same approach to New York. “It's important for New Yorkers to know that they have someone who's actually standing up for them,” he noted.

Both left-wing figures joined Mamdani at a massive rally in Queens on Sunday, a day after early voting began. “We will send a loud message to President Donald Trump that his authoritarianism is no good here,” AOC told cheering crowds, who responded with chants of “AOC.” Sanders said the world was watching New York’s election closely. “These are not normal times,” he said. “This election takes place at a time when we have a president who has given a trillion dollars in tax breaks to the top one per cent.”

NYC mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani says he’ll take Trump’s administration to court if elected, vowing to “stand up to Washington.” Backed by Bernie Sanders and AOC, Mamdani says cities shouldn’t treat Trump’s orders as law — “New York must fight back.”

Russians in Moscow witnessed a green glowing ball streaking through the skies early Monday morning. There is no confirmation on what it was, although, going by its colour, it is likely to be a meteor. RT reported that it left people wondering what it could have been, "a meteor, satellite, or something more sinister." Officials haven't commented on it yet, but since this is the time of the Orionid meteor shower and the Taurid meteor shower, the green fireball in Moscow was likely a remnant of one of these showers. When meteors enter the Earth's atmosphere, they start breaking apart, leaving behind a trail just like the one seen in the video. Some Russian media reports suggest that the fireball was space debris. There are no reports of a sonic boom or fallen debris yet.&nbsp;&nbsp;The green object remains extremely bright for a long time and seems to undergo some kind of explosion at one point. This activity hints that it is possible that it was some kind of space debris that burned up upon reentry. A meteor would have been moving at a much faster pace, experts say. Besides, the green colour indicates the presence of nickel, normally used to make spacecraft. Official confirmation on what it could have been is awaited.Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/watch-did-china-shoot-down-a-meteor-with-a-missile-scientists-doubt-friday-s-fireball-came-from-space-1758011374415">Watch: Did China shoot down a meteor with a missile?

Right from the beginning, it looks like someone yelled ACTION then the ball started moving. Look at how the initial trail stays where it began." Others used it as an opportunity to mock Russia amid the ongoing war with Ukraine. "Thor landed in Russia..." one wrote, with another saying, "Ghost of Kiev".&nbsp;<h2>Meteor showers in October-November</h2>Orionids are an annual occurrence and happen when Earth passes through the debris trail left by Halley’s Comet. They become active in October, and this year started around October 2 and is expected to last till November 7. The Orionids peaked on October 20-21. Meanwhile, the Southern Taurids remain active roughly from late summer/early autumn until late November. This year, they started on September 20 and are expected to remain active till November 20.&nbsp;

A fireball was seen streaking through the skies of Moscow early Monday morning, with no confirmation yet on what it was. The most likely explanation is a meteor since two meteor showers are currently on. It could also be some kind of space debris, or maybe an unmanned vehicle.

US President Donald Trump on Monday (Oct 27) slammed Russian President Vladimir Putin’s announcement of a new nuclear-powered cruise missile as inappropriate. Slamming Putin, the US president said that “He ought to get the (Ukraine) war ended.” This comes as Putin, on Sunday (Oct 26) announced the successful final test of Burevestnik missile, aka the “Flying Chernobyl”, which he said had “unlimited range”. Trump, who had promised to quickly end the war in Ukraine upon becoming president, told reporters aboard Air Force One that “a war that should have taken one week is now soon in its fourth year.

<h2>But what is so unique about the missile?</h2>According to AFP, citing Russia's military chief of staff Valery Gerasimov, during its last test on October 21, the missile flew for 15 hours straight. However, this impressive flight is not the upper limit for the weapon, insisted Gerasimov. It is propelled by a nuclear-powered engine, which theoretically grants the missile unlimited range. The missile can be used at any distance, that too with guaranteed precision, he revealed. “The technical characteristics of the Burevestnik allow it to be used with guaranteed precision against highly protected sites located at any distance,” said Russia's military chief of staff.Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/-world-changing-threat-thousands-mysterious-underwater-ufos-spotted-near-us-shores-ex-navy-admiral-warns-1761547551599">'World-changing' threat?

The UAE Minister of State at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Noura Al Kaabi, stunned the crowd at Zabeel Park when she opened her remarks in Hindi while addressing the Emirates Loves India mega community event. While taking the stage before thousands of cheering residents, she greeted the audience, saying, “Namaste! Aaj aapke saath yahan hona mere liye bahut sammaan ki baat hai,” (It is an honour to be in front of you now).&nbsp;Speaking to Gulf News after her speech, Al Kaabi shared the story behind her Hindi moment. Smiling, she said it happened because she kept practising that beautiful line with her colleagues over the phone. She told me to speak: ‘Tum kaise ho? Hum tumse pyaar karte hain!’ meaning ‘We love you’.”&nbsp;Al Kaabi added that her connection with Indian culture dates back to her childhood. “I grew up watching Bollywood movies,” she said. “It’s easy for me to repeat the words and pronounce them. You're talking about growing up and watching movies and listening to songs and eating Indian food and being connected with such a rich community.”&nbsp;However, she confessed to one regret, saying, “I think it’s a shame that I don’t speak it (Hindi) fluently." Her brief Hindi greeting went on to become one of the evening’s most memorable moments, embodying the spirit of India-UAE friendship celebrated at the event.

A surge of unexplained sightings off US coastlines has caught the attention of scientists and military observers alike. A popular UFO-tracking app has logged thousands of reports of Unidentified Submersible Objects (USOs), strange alien craft said to dive into or emerge from the sea without a trace.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Monday (Oct 27) praised Zohran Mamdani, the frontrunner in New York City's mayoral polls, calling him the "future" of the Democratic Party in the US. It is pertinent to note that Mamdani is a critic of US President Donald Trump and Musk was a staunch Trump ally, who has recently parted ways from the US president. Trump had earlier called Mamdani a "100 per cent communist lunatic." Trump has also claimed in the past that Mamdani “looks TERRIBLE, his voice is grating, he's not very smart.”&nbsp;&nbsp;Taking to X, Musk shared a clip of New York Governor Kathy Hochul endorsing Mamdani's candidacy and wrote, "Zohran is the future of the Democratic Party". However, this may not be Musk's endorsement of Mamdani, as he is a Republican. Musk, who is known for his humour seemed to be sarcastic, as he shared another post stating that Mamdani has supported policies such as higher taxes on wealthier white neighborhoods, defunding the police, limiting police response to domestic violence, cutting gifted education programs, and closing Rikers Island prison.&nbsp;&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://cdn1.wionews.com/prod/wion/images/2025/20251027/image-1761545365628.png"></figure>

Apart from Kathy Hochul, Mamdani received the backing from US Senator Bernie Sanders, House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries, US Representative Jerrold Nadler, who represents Manhattan’s Upper West Side, and former Vice President Kamala Harris.&nbsp;In-person voting begun on Saturday and is continuing for one of the most closely followed US elections this year — the New York City mayoral race. New Yorkers started casting their votes for Democrat Zohran Mamdani, Republican Curtis Sliwa, and former Governor Andrew Cuomo, running as an independent.&nbsp;Meanwhile, ahead of the voting, in an emotional speech Mamdani slammed his opponents for “racist" attacks and defended his Muslim faith. Pledging to further embrace his Muslim identity, Mamdani spoke about the “indignities” long faced by the city’s Muslim population. He was encircled by faith leaders outside a Bronx mosque where he mentioned that he was advised to keep his faith to himself when he entered politics. Holding back his tears and in a choking voice, Mamdani shared about his aunt “who stopped taking the subway after September 11th because she did not feel safe in her hijab.” He was targeted for his remarks by many in Republican Party including Vice President JD Vance.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://cdn1.wionews.com/prod/wion/images/2025/20251027/image-1761543302647.png"></figure> &nbsp;

Musk, who is known for his humour seemed to be sarcastic, as he shared another post stating that Mamdani has supported policies such as higher taxes on wealthier white neighborhoods, defunding the police, limiting police response to domestic violence, cutting gifted education programs, and closing Rikers Island prison.

Elon Musk called Zohran Mamdani the “future of the Democratic Party” on X, seemingly mocking the NYC mayoral frontrunner. A former Trump ally, Musk shared Mamdani’s controversial policies sarcastically. Trump earlier branded Mamdani a “communist lunatic”&nbsp;

Argentine President Argentina's President Javier Milei (C) celebrates in front of supporters outside La Libertad Avanza headquartersMilei hailed his party's runaway victory in Sunday's midterm elections as a ‘turning point’ for the country and vowed to charge ahead with his agenda of shrinking the state and deregulating the economy. Milei's small La Libertad Avanza (LLA) party rebounded from a series of setbacks to win 40.84 per cent of the votes cast for members of Congress, far outpacing the opposition in an election closely watched by jittery investors. “Today we reached a turning point, today begins the construction of a great Argentina,” the 55-year-old president told supporters at a victory party in Buenos Aires.&nbsp;He promised to continue on the reform path with what he predicted would be “the most reformist Congress in Argentina's history”. US President Donald Trump, a close ally, congratulated Milei and said his Argentine counterpart was doing a “wonderful job!” Half of the seats in the Chamber of Deputies and one-third of the Senate seats were up for grabs on Sunday. Milei said LLA had more than tripled its seat count, winning 101 seats in the lower house Chamber of Deputies, up from 37, and 20 seats in the Senate, up from six.<h2>‘Forward, not backwards'</h2>The center-left Peronist movement, in power for much of Argentina's post-war history, trailed in second place with 31.64 percent. "Far more Argentines want to move forward than go backwards," Milei said on the demise of the opposition.The elections were the first national test of Milei's support since he won office two years ago on a promise to revive the long-ailing Argentine economy through a series of painful reforms.&nbsp;The run-up to the vote was marked by a run on the national currency, the peso, that forced Milei to seek a bailout from Trump. Washington promised an unprecedented $40 billion package of aid, but the assistance came with a warning from Trump to Argentines that he would not "be generous" if the election did not go Milei's way. "Our confidence in him was justified by the People of Argentina," the US president said Monday.&nbsp;At the LLA election party, hundreds of Milei's supporters celebrated the results with cheers, hugs, chants and even tears. "I'm very happy and excited; I didn't expect such a large number," Facundo Campos, a 38-year-old marketing consultant, told AFP, comparing the joy to the “last goal of the last World Cup won by Argentina!” Maria Jesus Galan, a 45-year-old health official, said while there "some room for improvement" in Milei's government, "it has a great future."<h2>Turnout at four-decade low</h2>Ahead of the election, several Milei voters had spoken to AFP about their disappointment with his leadership, particularly the corruption scandals involving members of his inner circle. But they remained viscerally opposed to the Peronist movement, whose figurehead, former president Cristina Kirchner, is under house arrest after being convicted of corruption.&nbsp;At 67.9 percent, turnout was the lowest in a national election in four decades, reflecting disillusionment with the entire political class. The most surprising results were in Buenos Aires province, a Peronist stronghold, where LLA clawed its way back from a defeat by the Peronists in last month's local elections to a toss-up. Adriana Cotoneo, a 69-year-old pensioner voting in Buenos Aires, told AFP she backed Milei's party "not because I believe it's the best option, but because I'm clear about who I want to be gone."&nbsp;Former TV pundit Milei has cut tens of thousands of public sector jobs, frozen public works, cut spending on health, education and pensions, and led a major deregulation drive since taking office in December 2023.

The UK Police on Sunday (Oct 26) said that a 20-year-old woman, believed to be of Indian heritage, faced &nbsp;"racially aggravated" rape in northern England. In a statement, the West Midlands Police said that it was called to the Park Hall area of Walsall as concerns were raised about welfare of a woman in distress in the street. The police then issued an appeal to locate the white male suspect and released CCTV camera footage. They also confirmed that they are treating the crime “as a racially aggravated attack”.&nbsp;Detective Superintendent (DS) Ronan Tyrer, who is overseeing the investigation for the West Midlands Police, said on Sunday (Oct 26) that the attack on the young woman was horrific and that officers were doing everything possible to catch the perpetrator. He explained that teams were collecting evidence and profiling the suspect, urging anyone with information, CCTV, or dashcam footage of suspicious activity in the area to come forward, as it could provide a crucial lead in the investigation. Labour MP Preet Kaur Gill expressed deep shock over the incident.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://cdn1.wionews.com/prod/wion/images/2025/20251027/image-1761535532068.png"></figure>&nbsp;“This was an absolutely appalling attack on a young woman, and we are doing absolutely everything we can to arrest the person responsible,” Indian news agency PTI reported. “We have teams of officers recovering evidence and building a profile of the attacker so that he can be brought into custody as soon as possible. While we are following multiple lines of enquiry right now, it's vital that we get to hear from anyone who saw a man acting suspiciously in the area at the time,” Tyrer added. “It may be that you were driving through the area and have dashcam footage, or you have CCTV that we have not yet recovered. Your information could be the vital breakthrough that we need,” he also said. Meanwhile, Tyrer also said that the assault recalls a similar case from September where a British Sikh woman was raped, police are not currently connecting it to other crimes.&nbsp;&nbsp;Providing information about the woman, Sikh Federation UK quoted local sources and said that the woman is a Punjabi woman. “The attacker apparently broke down the door of the house where she was living… West Midlands Police have now had two racially aggravated rapes of young women in their 20s in the last two months and urgently need to find those responsible,” the organisation said.&nbsp;&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://cdn1.wionews.com/prod/wion/images/2025/20251027/image-1761535404419.png"></figure>

<h2>India’s perspective on trade talks</h2>Last week, India’s Union Minister for Commerce and Industry, Piyush Goyal, reaffirmed that India will not rush into trade agreements or accept any terms from partner countries that restrict its trade flexibility. He emphasised that trade negotiations go beyond just market access or tariffs and should focus on building long-term, sustainable partnerships and global business cooperation.&nbsp;Goyal highlighted that India’s approach to these talks is not driven by short-term objectives but aims for a broader vision. "It's not just about immediate deals like steel exports to the US but about fostering long-term trust and cooperation," he was quoted as saying.<h2>Progress in India-US trade talks</h2>India's Commerce Secretary, Rajesh Agrawal, expressed optimism regarding the trade discussions with the US, noting that the two sides are aligning on many issues. He suggested that a mutually beneficial agreement is close to being finalised. Agrawal said, “I believe we are very close,” referring to the Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA) proposed earlier this year during a meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump. A joint statement from February had indicated that the first part of the BTA would likely be concluded by the fall, spanning from September to November.
