China Presses Panic Button As Japan's F-2 Fighters Head To India; Lectures India While Arming Pak?
Japan is reportedly preparing to send Mitsubishi F-2 fighter jets to India for joint training for the first timeand China is already warning New Delhi not to become a tool of Tokyos militarism revival. But the real story goes far beyond four aircraft. India and Japan are deepening defence ties through exercises, logistics agreements and technology cooperation, including the UNICORN stealth communications mast being co-developed for Indian Navy warships. At the same time, China remains Pakistans dominant arms supplier, providing 80% of Islamabads major weapons imports between 2021 and 2025. In this video, we examine why Beijing is reacting so sharply, what Japans changing defence policy means for India, and why Chinas criticism of India-Japan ties sits awkwardly beside its own massive military support to Pakistan.

Gold rises for fourth day to Rs 1.54 lakh/10g in Delhi; silver remains flat
Gold prices rose by Rs 200 to Rs 1.54 lakh per 10 grams in the national capital on Friday, tracking a sharp rally in overseas markets as a weaker US dollar and softer crude oil prices lifted bullion demand.New Delhi, Aug 7: Gold prices rose by Rs 200 to Rs 1.54 lakh per 10 grams in the national capital on Friday, tracking a sharp rally in overseas markets as a weaker US dollar and softer crude oil prices lifted bullion demand. Rising for the fourth consecutive session, the yellow metal of 99.9 per cent purity increased by Rs 200 to Rs 1,54,000 per 10 grams (inclusive of all taxes) from Thursday's closing level of Rs 1,53,800 per 10 grams, according to local traders. However, silver remained unchanged at Rs 2,34,800 per kilogram (inclusive of all taxes) after witnessing a sharp rise in the previous session, according to local traders. Gold extended its gains for the fourth consecutive session, with the precious metal heading for its strongest weekly performance since January, said Gaurav Garg, Head of Research, Lemonn Markets Desk. He attributed the rally to a weak dollar, easing inflation expectations and continued demand for bullion ahead of the US non-farm payrolls report, which could influence the Federal Reserve's next policy decision. Garg said silver prices also advanced on the back of improving sentiment among investors. In the international markets, spot gold rose USD 84.74, or 2 per cent, to USD 4,325.43 per ounce, while silver gained strength by advancing more than 4 per cent to USD 64.17 per ounce. Spot gold edged higher in the overseas markets to near USD 4,350 per ounce on Friday, while silver climbed over 4 per cent to around USD 64 an ounce, Kaynat Chainwala, AVP Commodity Research, Kotak Securities, said. She said both metals were on course for their strongest weekly performance since January, supported by softer crude oil prices and a weak US dollar as hopes of a shipping arrangement through the Strait of Hormuz eased concerns over supply disruptions. Chainwala further said renewed institutional demand remained supportive, with global gold exchange-traded funds recording inflows of 23.5 tonnes in July after two consecutive months of outflows. Market participants are awaiting the US non-farm payrolls report later in the day, which is expected to provide fresh cues on the Federal Reserve's interest rate outlook, she added.
No reason why India cannot become global mediation centre: CJI Surya Kant
New Delhi, Aug 7: Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant on Friday said there was no reason why India cannot become a global centre of mediation. The CJI said that the Mediation Act, 2023 provided a standalone statutory architecture for this mode of alternative dispute resolution for the first time, and institutions were becoming capable of handling complex, cross-border mediations with the same confidence that international parties employ in commercial dispute resolution worldwide. The top judge added that the feat became possible due to the sustained and thoughtful support of the Indian judiciary, court-annexed mediation centres and the like. CJI Kant was speaking at the inaugural ceremony of the International ADR Conference, 2026, here organised by Maadhyam International Council for Conflict Resolution. There is no reason why India cannot establish herself as a genuine centre of mediation for the global community. Considering the momentum at which our economy is expanding, it is not enough to merely have adequate dispute resolution infrastructure; rather, it is essential that we develop it into a state-of-the-art framework that keeps pace with our astronomical growth, CJI said. It is, therefore, heartening that the institutions in India capable of realising this ambition are already beginning to take shape, and there is every reason to believe they can facilitate complex, cross-border mediations with the same confidence that international parties employ in commercial dispute resolution worldwide, he added. In his address, the CJI said he ruly hoped that the legal fraternity would strengthen the existing alternative dispute resolution framework and help India take her place among the true frontrunners of this field, worldwide. The CJI asserted that the sine qua non of mediation was deeply psychological and data showed that voluntary compliance by parties with mediated settlements was as high as 90 per cent, which was well above results achieved through adjudication. Unlike litigation and arbitration, mediation asks what the parties can themselves live with, and what they can build upon, he said. The CJI further said that mediation has certainly undergone a substantial and challenging evolution over the past years, as earlier it was associated with stuffy rooms, worn-out furniture and mediators who would seemingly coerce the parties towards reluctant compromises. Step into a mediation today, and you are likely to find a young professional trained under a rigorous certification framework, drawing on techniques refined across commercial, corporate and family disputes alike. Institutional mediation centres now run with case managers, encrypted digital files and settlement agreements authenticated within hours rather than weeks, he said. The CJI also acknowledged that online dispute resolution platforms allow parties on different continents to mediate.

Turkiye, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan set to sign joint defence pact: Report
Riyadh , August 7 : Speculation over the emergence of deeper military cooperation among key Muslim-majority countries has intensified as Turkiye, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan are set to sign a joint defence agreement in Saudi Arabia on Friday, Reuters reported, citing two regional sources with direct knowledge of the development. The reported agreement has fuelled speculation in strategic circles about the emergence of an Islamic NATO--an informal geopolitical concept widely used to describe a proposed military and defence alliance among major Muslim-majority nations. Pakistan Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has previously indicated that the existing defence and economic cooperation framework between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia could expand to include countries such as Qatar and Turkiye, potentially creating a broader regional security arrangement. During an interview with Pakistani media outlet Hum News in May, Asif had said discussions on the arrangement were at various stages of completion and could include these countries in the future. Pakistan, last year, had already signed a Strategic Mutual Defence Agreement with Saudi Arabia, pledging that any aggression against either nation would be treated as an attack on both. The arrangement that has been finalised, or has been partially finalised, or is being finalised, is in process. This is an arrangement for the future, which obviously includes the present as well, Asif said. And if this already existing pact between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, if Qatar and Turkiye also join it, then it will be welcoming that such an economic and defence arrangement among countries comes to our region here so that dependence on outside the region is minimised, he added. The Pakistani Defence Minister had also emphasised that the proposed arrangement is not directed against any country but is aimed at enhancing regional stability and reducing external dependence. Dependence will remain in the world; there is a community, an international community in which all countries are linked economically and otherwise, but for peace in one's own region, I think this pact is not against anyone, but it is very important to protect peace within our region, he added. Last year, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia inked the defence pact during the state visit of Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to Riyadh at the invitation of Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud. According to the joint statement issued following the visit, uilding on the historic partnership extending for nearly eight decades between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, and based on the bonds of brotherhood and Islamic solidarity, as well as shared strategic interests and close defence cooperation between the two countries, HRH the Crown Prince and the Pakistani prime minister signed a Strategic Mutual Defence Agreement. Following the agreement, India issued a response in the wake of the Strategic Mutual Defence Agreement, stating it will closely study the pact's implications for India's national security and regional and global stability. In a statement issued by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), MEA Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal stated that New Delhi acknowledges the formalisation of what it described as a long-standing arrangement between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, while noting that it would closely examine its potential ramifications. Jaiswal further emphasised that India's national security remains paramount in light of this development. We have seen reports of the signing of a strategic mutual defence pact between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. The Government was aware that this development, which formalises a long-standing arrangement between the two countries, had been under consideration. We will study the implications of this development for our national security as well as for regional and global stability. The Government remains committed to protecting India's national interests and ensuring comprehensive national security in all domains, the statement from the MEA read. (ANI)
