'Wrath Of Iran': Pak Trembles Over Munir's Risky Saudi Gamble; Houthis Drop Dire Islamabad Warning
Pakistan is stepping into Yemen through the Mecca Pact, and the decision is already facing anger at home. In 2015, Pakistans Parliament refused to send troops, warplanes or warships into the Yemen conflict. It promised to defend Saudi territory and the holy sites, but chose neutrality in the war against the Iran-backed Houthis. That position is now under pressure. Pakistans latest military commitment could pull its soldiers into a widening regional conflict. Houthi leader Mohammed al-Bukhaiti has warned Islamabad and Ankara against intervention, threatening a decisive and painful response. The risks are clear: missile attacks, drone strikes, pressure from Iran and a long war far from Pakistans borders. This video explains the Mecca Pact, the backlash inside Pakistan, the Houthi warning and the strategic cost for General Asim Munir. From Saudi money to Iranian anger, Pakistan may have opened a dangerous new front. India is watching every move closely today.
Modi's 3-Point Black Sea Peace Gambit: India Sends Russia, Ukraine Plan To Protect Energy, Sailors
India has moved from calling for dialogue to putting a truce proposal forward. New Delhis three-part plan asks Russia and Ukraine to stop attacks on energy and critical infrastructure, keep grain and energy moving through Black Sea ports, and protect commercial shipping. The proposal comes as the war reaches Indian interests directly. A tanker off Russias Black Sea coast caught fire after an attack reported by Russian authorities, but all 23 Indian crew members were rescued. Earlier attacks killed seafarers. India depends on stable energy supplies and safe trade routes. That makes this peace push strategic, not symbolic. Russias Vladimir Putin has praised Prime Minister Narendra Modis ideas. Ukraine has called the Indian initiative the most comprehensive among four proposals. But neither side has accepted it. This video explains the plan, the Black Sea danger, the oil connection and why India is now pushing for peace with citizens at risk.

Christa Pike's condition 'bodes well for a good recovery.' What happens to her next?
Christa Pike is conscious and speaking in the hospital after surviving Tennessee's attempt to execute her last week , an outcome her legal team described as unprecedented, and one that has raised questions about what happens next in her case. Pike, 50, was sentenced to death in 1996 for the murder of her classmate, Colleen Slemmer, and spent 30 years on death row. Her execution was scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 30, but two doses of the lethal injection drug pentobarbital failed to kill her. She was taken to the hospital, where she received lifesaving care. Pike's survival has brought intense scrutiny to Tennessee's execution procedures. Gov. Bill Lee suspended the one remaining execution scheduled for this year, and the state's top prison official, Correction Commissioner Frank Strada, is stepping down at the end of October. Pike's lawyers said the resignation was justified, but it does nothing to help Christa now. What happened to her Wednesday reflects a systemic failure that goes far beyond any one person, they said in a statement issued Sunday, according to ABC News . Slemmer's mother, May Martinez , described the situation as a mess and said she was left without justice. What is Christa Pike's condition? When Pike arrived at the hospital, her arms were swollen, burned and blistered, her lawyers wrote in a legal filing Friday. Her lawyers believe the IV lines were placed incorrectly or her veins burst, so that some or all of the drug went into the tissue of her arms instead of her bloodstream. Against all odds, Christa Pike is conscious, speaking, and continues to receive critical medical care, her legal team wrote in a statement issued Tuesday. Her recovery is medically unprecedented. Her prognosis remains unclear but, at a minimum, we expect a long recovery. Dr. Joel Zivot, a medical expert who has consulted with Pike's legal team, told the Associated Press that the latest update bodes well for a good recovery, but said that the full picture of her long-term health will not be clear for some time. She has recovered to a certain degree that she's able to be off a ventilator and able to speak, but in no way would I announce her free of further serious risk, he said. There's still a lot of bad things that can happen here. Pike, pictured in 2007, is conscious and speaking in the hospital, according to her legal team. via REUTERS / REUTERS Deborah Denno, a criminologist and professor at Fordham Law School, told the BBC that she was absolutely astonished that Pike was conscious and speaking. They did everything they were supposed to do as part of the execution process, and it simply didn't work, she said. This has never happened before. Dr. Zivot told the BBC that her survival was unusual, adding, Most people who get lethal injection die from it. In fact, pretty well everyone, except Christa. Seattle University Law Professor Michael Russo told the Associated Press, There's nobody else in the history of the death penalty in this country who has gone through what she's been through. The incident with Pike comes a handful of months after the botched attempt to execute Tony Carruthers . In May, Tennessee stopped the execution of Carruthers after staff placed an IV into his right arm, but were unable to insert a secondary IV line. What happens next? Tennessee officials have not said whether they will try to execute Pike again or explained what went wrong. Her condition could complicate any future attempt. Under Supreme Court precedent, a person can't be executed unless they have a rational understanding of why they are being put to death, the New York Times reported . Pike's lawyers have called for her sentence to be commuted. Gov. Lee had denied her clemency before the execution attempt. I think at the very least the governor should commute Ms. Pike's death sentence to a life sentence, attorney Stephen Ferrell told CNN's State of the Union on Sunday. We don't know what her physical state will be, but it is clear that she has endured a torturous attempt at executing her. Dr. Zivot said it remains unclear how much pentobarbital entered Pike's system, how much remained in her blood after the injection and what effects she could still experience as she recovers. I would not, in any way, say at this point that all the big risks are behind her, he said. Professor Russo doubted whether the Supreme Court would stop the state from trying again on double jeopardy grounds the constitutional protection against being tried or punished twice for the same offense should it decide to do so. He said, I think what this Supreme Court would say is, her sentence was to die to be executed not to suffer an attempt at execution. We're in uncharted territory, Robin Maher, executive director of the nonprofit Death Penalty Information Center, told USA Today . The U.S. Supreme Court has not decided whether a second execution attempt would violate the Constitution since 1947. These are questions that have never needed to be asked before, and no one knows the answers.

By Utkarsh Rathour Former Indian cricketer Mohit Sharma took a hilarious dig at critics doubting the place of ODI-exclusive stalwarts Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in the ODI set-up ahead of the 2027 Cricket World Cup, saying that there is no point in talking about the issue. Mohit was speaking to ANI on the sidelines of the World Championship of Legends (WCL) season 3, where he is playing for the India Champions side. Questioned about constant chatter around Rohit and Virat's spots in the ODI set-up that rises with every series due to lack of ODIs being played, he replied while referencing to a dialogue by actor Arshad Warsi in movie Jolly LLB, which has turned into a meme. I remember a meme, 'Kaun hai log, kahan se aate hai yeah log'. There is no point in talking about this, said Mohit, shutting down the noise from his side with a brutal one-liner. This year in nine ODIs, Virat has scored 552 runs in nine innings at an average of 69.00 and a strike rate of 117.94, with two centuries...

'80 pc to NDA, 20 pc to PDA': CM Yogi Adityanath's swipe at SP ahead of 2027 UP polls
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 7 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday took a jibe at the Samajwadi Party (SP), saying that the Rajya Sabha polls in the state have depicted that the results of the upcoming Assembly elections will come down to 80 per cent for the NDA and 20 per cent for the PDA. This comes a day after the Samajwadi Party chose to field two candidates for the Rajya Sabha polls, paving the way for its two candidates and the BJP's eight candidates to win unopposed. Addressing a gathering in Lucknow, CM Adityanath said: The Rajya Sabha elections in Uttar Pradesh have depicted what the results of the Assembly polls are going to be. The fight has again come to 80-20. 80 per cent (of seats) to the NDA and 20 per cent to PDA, the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister remarked. You are about to witness what is going to be the condition of the PDA, he said, while taking a jibe at the Samajwadi Party's acronym PDA. SP Chief Akhilesh Yadav had coined the term 'PDA', which, according to the party, stands for 'Pichhda' (Backward classes), 'Dalit', and 'Alpsankhyak' (Minorities). On Tuesday, Akhilesh Yadav, in a post on social media platform X, said: Now our eyes are not on three, but on 403. His remark is being viewed in reference to the SP choosing not to field a third candidate for elections to the Upper House of the Parliament, despite intending to do so earlier. Meanwhile, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath made the remarks while addressing the 'Seva Jyoti Yatra - Vikasit Bharat Sankalp Sabha' at Patel Park in Lucknow's Hazratganj. Speaking at the occasion, the Chief Minister hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 25 years of public service, describing it as a historic journey from a small village in Gujarat to the global stage, saying the milestone was a matter of pride for every Indian. Today is a day of pride for every Indian, as Prime Minister Narendra Modi is completing 25 years of dedicated public service. On this occasion, on behalf of the people of Uttar Pradesh, I extend my heartfelt congratulations and greetings to the Prime Minister. I also extend my heartfelt congratulations to all the people of the state and every party (BJP) worker on this momentous occasion, CM Adityanath said. He mentioned that Prime Minister Modi had completed 25 years of continuous service, first as the Chief Minister of Gujarat and subsequently as the Prime Minister of India.

Digital Desk | Varanasi, Oct 7 (IANS) Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Nitin Nabin on Wednesday launched a sharp attack on the Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition (LoP) Rahul Gandhi, accusing him and other opposition leaders of attempting to spread anarchy in Delhi. The BJP Chief's remarks were in reference to the INDIA bloc's protest, demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar over alleged irregularities in the conduct of Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Addressing a gathering in Varanasi, Nabin said: Given the way the opposition leaders in this country are functioning todayaligning with certain anti-social elements amid an atmosphere of anarchyI want to state clearly, the people of India will never allow your objectives and intentions to succeed, because you have only cared about those who have been usurping the rights of the people here. Targeting Rahul Gandhi, the BJP Chief said: The way you are attempting to spread anarchy in Delhi by leveraging certain anti-social elements, I want to tell the Leader of the Opposition (Rahul Gandhi) that the people of India will never allow those infiltrators, whose rights you advocate for, to secure any rights here. Nabin questioned the LoP, saying: Who are you concerned about? Whose battle are you fighting? If the names of the infiltrators are removed through the SIR, and for that you question the country's democracy, then, in reality, the biggest question mark is raised against 'you', the BJP Chief said while directly addressing the Opposition. He asserted, saying: I can say with confidence that the people of India will deliver a fitting reply to this anarchic mindset and thinking. Nabin made the remarks while addressing a felicitation ceremony for participants of the Seva Sankalp Yatra at Sampurnanand Sanskrit Vishwavidyalaya in Varanasi. Meanwhile, several INDIA bloc leaders, including Rahul Gandhi and Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra were detained by the police earlier on Wednesday, while attempting to head to the national capital's Jantar Mantar to continue their agitation against the CEC for the second consecutive day. On Tuesday, the INDIA bloc MPs tried to push open the gates of the Akashvani Bhawan, after being stopped by security personnel while marching towards the Election Commission of India (ECI).

Victim's initial statement, romantic relationship mitigating factors in POCSO bail plea: Delhi HC
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 7 (IANS) The Delhi High Court has granted bail to a 20-year-old man accused under the POCSO Act, observing that the romantic relationship between him and the 14-year-old victim, coupled with her initial statement that she had left home on her own and had no complaint against anyone, were mitigating factors that tilted the balance in favour of bail. A single-judge bench of Justice Mini Pushkarna said that the documents on record showed an intimate and romantic relationship between the applicant and the victim, who had posted photographs of the two on Instagram expressing her love for him. The Court cannot ignore the young age of both the applicant as well as the victim. The documents on record show the intimate and romantic relationship between the applicant and the victim. Further, in her initial statement, the victim stated in categorical terms that she had left the house of her own accord and that she did not want to make any complaint against anyone. These facts cannot be disregarded and serve as mitigating factors which tilt the balance towards grant of bail to the applicant, the bench said. Justice Pushkarna was dealing with the third regular bail application filed by Vicky, who has been in judicial custody for more than three years in connection with an FIR registered at Aman Vihar Police Station in July 2023. The FIR was initially registered on a missing complaint lodged by the victim's father after his minor daughter did not return home after leaving for school on July 28, 2023. She was traced on July 30 and brought to the police station. In its order, the High Court recorded that during counselling at the police station, the victim stated that she had left home in anger after being scolded by her mother and had gone to her maternal aunt's house. She also stated that she had no complaint against anyone and that no one had done anything wrong to her. The victim subsequently gave another statement alleging that the applicant had kept her against her will and sexually assaulted her, following which provisions relating to sexual assault and the POCSO Act were added to the FIR. The High Court noted that the victim was 14 years and eight months old at the time of the incident, while the applicant was 20 years and four months old. It further noted that the applicant and the victim had been in a relationship for several months before the incident and that the victim had posted various photographs of the applicant on Instagram, including photographs of the two in intimate positions. The High Court also took note of the fact that the victim had made different statements on different dates. During the hearing, the applicant's counsel had submitted that the two were in a love relationship for around eight to nine months before the incident and that their relationship was public and known to others. Counsel also argued that the applicant had already spent more than three years in custody, had no criminal antecedents, was a permanent resident of Delhi, and did not possess a passport. Opposing the bail plea, the prosecution submitted that the allegations were of an extremely grave nature involving a minor and that consent was irrelevant in proceedings under the POCSO Act. The complainant's counsel also opposed the plea, submitting that the victim had subsequently made categorical allegations of sexual assault and that the prosecution witnesses had corroborated each other. However, the High Court said that the applicant had already undergone more than three years of judicial custody and that the trial was likely to take time. There are 19 prosecution witnesses in the case, of whom only the victim and her father had been examined so far, it added. The High Court also took note of the forensic evidence. As per the FSL report, the DNA profiles of the applicant and the victim were accounted for in a mixed DNA profile obtained from the blanket recovered from the alleged place of incident. However, no male DNA could be generated from the cervical swabs and smears of the victim. Justice Pushkarna referred to an earlier judgment, in which the High Court had considered factors such as the age of the accused and the victim, their relationship, discrepancies in their statements and other real-life circumstances while considering bail in a POCSO case. In the facts and circumstances of the present case, the High Court said, it was inclined to grant bail to the applicant. Justice Pushkarna directed the applicant to appear before the trial court on every date of hearing and provide his permanent and current residential addresses to the investigating officer. He was also directed to keep his mobile number operational and report to the jurisdictional police station every Monday at 9 a.m. The High Court also directed that he should not directly or indirectly induce, threaten or promise any person acquainted with the facts of the case or tamper with evidence. It clarified that its observations were made only for deciding the bail application and would neither influence the trial proceedings nor be construed as an opinion on the merits of the case.
From 'vote chori' to 'chita andolan': Street protests return with a new playbook
From 'vote chori' protests and womens safety marches to 'Chita Andolan', the streets are getting politically crowded again. But the old politics of protest now comes with a new playbook.

Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday (October 7) said that the Opposition's protest will not stop until Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar resigns, asserting that this is a fight to protect the most sacred thing in the country.
