US President Donald Trump said he has an “obligation” to sue the BBC over an edited clip of his January 6, 2021 speech shown in a Panorama documentary. Speaking to Fox News, Trump claimed the BBC “butchered” his words and “defrauded” viewers. His lawyers have demanded a retraction, apology, and $1 billion in damages by Friday. The BBC earlier apologised for an “error of judgement” in the edit, which suggested Trump urged violence. The controversy has led to the resignations of BBC Director General Tim Davie and Head of News Deborah Turness. The BBC says it will respond soon. (PC: BBC)

A suicide bomber struck the District Judicial Complex in Islamabad on 11 November, killing at least 12 people and wounding over 30. Shehbaz Sharif accused Afghanistan-based militants acting on behalf of India for orchestrating the attack via its proxies, amid heightened tensions following a car-bombing in Delhi. Authorities noted the blast took place amid an ongoing operation to rescue cadets in South Waziristan, amplifying concerns of widening cross-border violence. 

Billionaire investor Barry Sternlicht warned NYC will "turn into Mumbai" under Mayor Zohran Mamdani's rent freeze plan, calling the socialist agenda economically destructive. The Starwood Capital Group CEO told CNBC that freezing rents amid stagnant tenant incomes will trigger nonpayment chains, eroding property ownership confidence. Sternlicht blamed NYC's construction challenges on trade unions and high regulatory costs, noting projects exceeding $100 million must use expensive union labor. He warned Mamdani's policies are combined with tight margins which will discourage developers from building new housing. The Democratic Socialist defeated Andrew Cuomo promising rent caps for millions of units with expanded tenant protections. Real estate industry fears frozen rents will hinder building maintenance, renovation, and sector investment. (PC: India Today)

India categorically rejected Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's allegations that New Delhi orchestrated the Islamabad suicide bombing killing twelve people. MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal dismissed claims as "baseless and unfounded," calling Pakistani leadership "obviously delirious" and employing "predictable tactics." Despite Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan claiming responsibility for Tuesday's attack, Sharif accused "Indian-sponsored terrorist proxies" of executing the strike from Afghanistan with Indian backing. Without presenting evidence, Pakistan's premier linked the bombing to Monday's Cadet College attack in Wana, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, which killed three. Sharif made these assertions at Islamabad's Inter-Parliamentary Speakers' Conference, claiming both incidents originated from Afghan territory under Indian patronage.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s November 11–12, 2025, visit to Bhutan carried heightened significance as it followed a deadly blast near Delhi’s Red Fort that killed at least ten and injured many. Despite the tragedy, Modi upheld his foreign policy commitments, underscoring credibility through consistent action under pressure. His decision reflected India’s “Neighbourhood First” and “Himalayan Security” priorities, showing that crisis management and international outreach can coexist. While critics questioned the timing, the move highlighted a cautious, statesmanlike balance between domestic security response and long-term strategic objectives. Modi’s continuation of the Bhutan trip reinforced India’s resolve to maintain diplomatic consistency even amid national crises.

India on Tuesday strongly rejected Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s claim that New Delhi was behind the recent suicide bombing in Islamabad. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal called the allegations “baseless and unfounded,” saying they were “desperate diversionary ploys” by Pakistan’s leadership. Sharif had alleged that “Indian-sponsored terrorist proxies” carried out the blast that killed 12 people outside Islamabad’s district court. He also linked India to another attack in Wana, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. India pointed out that the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) had already claimed responsibility for the bombings. (PC: AFP)

India has strongly rejected Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s accusations linking New Delhi to recent terror attacks in Islamabad and Wana. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal dismissed the claims as “baseless” and accused Pakistan of fabricating narratives to divert attention from its internal military-driven constitutional power grab. Sharif alleged “Indian-sponsored terrorist proxies” were behind a suicide blast outside Islamabad High Court that killed 12, and another attack on a cadet college near Afghanistan’s border. India countered that the international community recognizes Pakistan’s diversionary tactics. Meanwhile, New Delhi itself faced a deadly Red Fort car blast, allegedly carried out by Jaish-e-Mohammed.

Pakistan’s Senate has passed the 27th Constitutional Amendment Bill, granting sweeping powers to Army Chief Asim Munir, who will now serve as Chief of Defence Forces. The amendment alters Article 243, shifting supreme command of the armed forces from the president and cabinet to Munir. It also establishes a Federal Constitutional Court, replacing the Supreme Court in constitutional matters, with judges appointed by the government. Critics argue the move centralizes military authority, undermines civilian oversight, and grants immunity to top generals. Concerns include nuclear command risks and erosion of institutional checks. The government insists evolving defence needs justify the changes, while opposition warns of curtailed rights and concentrated power. (PC: NDTV)

Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif blamed India for the suicide blast outside an Islamabad court that killed 12 people, without providing any evidence. He also alleged New Delhi's involvement in Monday's attack on a Wana cadet college near the Afghanistan border, claiming "Indian-sponsored terrorist proxies" aimed at destabilizing Pakistan. Sharif accused the Afghan Taliban of acting as "India's proxy," linking TTP attacks to India. Pakistan Defence Minister Khawaja Asif declared the country "in a state of war," calling the Islamabad bombing a "wake-up call" and directly blaming Kabul's Taliban rulers. The allegations came within hours of the blast, as Pakistan continues its pattern of blaming India for domestic terrorism. (PC: X & News18)
