Thirteen nights of bombing. Then... nothing. Two nights and counting.

The US hasn't struck Iran since Thursday. Iran hasn't hit back either. First real pause this war has had since it started five months ago.

Trump's own UN ambassador confirmed it Sunday: they're giving talks "some space." Behind the scenes, Iran and Oman spent the weekend in Tehran negotiating who actually controls the Strait of Hormuz — 20% of the world's oil passes through it, and that's the whole reason this latest round of fighting even started.

Don't get comfortable though. Trump still says he can "take them apart piece by piece" if talks don't work out. One former Bush-era Middle East official isn't convinced yet this is real diplomacy and not just a tactical lull.

War turns 5 months old Tuesday. Netanyahu lands in Washington this week too. Does the quiet hold, or is this just Trump reloading?

How many more kids have to die like this before these open pits get covered in Noida, India?

6 year old boy.

Son of Siwan Yadav, Vice Principal of Kendriya Vidyalaya.

On 25 July evening, playing with friends near Kaladham Society, Knowledge Park.

Fell into a 15-foot deep pit dug by Greater Noida Authority for boring work.

Pit filled with rainwater. No barricades. No warning signs.

Locals pulled him out and rushed to hospital. Doctors declared him dead on arrival.

Father says the pit was so deep even a car could plunge in. Contractor arrested after complaints.

2 million students forced to retake a leaked exam. One judge's insult to their generation. Today, it cost India's Education Minister his job.

Dharmendra Pradhan resigned Saturday, weeks after a youth movement called the Cockroach Janta Party turned a Supreme Court judge's remark comparing unemployed youth to "cockroaches" into a nationwide protest movement, one that's since built a bigger social media following than India's ruling party itself. Weeks of mass demonstrations followed, including clashes with police that left dozens injured.

Activist Sonam Wangchuk, who joined the protests with a hunger strike, called the resignation "a victory of democracy... straight from the streets."

The government is now drafting new anti-paper-leak legislation. Organizers say they're not finished, several more demands remain on their list.

A meme-turned-movement just took down a Cabinet minister.

How far does this go next? 🔴

1-0. 106th minute. Substitute Ferran Torres may have just closed the book on the Messi era.

Torres came off the bench and buried the extra-time winner past a 10-man Argentina, handing Spain its second World Cup title. Messi, 39, was in tears at the medal ceremony: "They were better, to be honest."

The numbers behind it: Spain conceded one goal in the whole tournament a record for a champion and are unbeaten in 38 straight matches, the longest streak by any European team ever. With the women's team's 2023 title still standing, Spain is now the first nation to hold both World Cups at once.

Back home, more than a million fans packed Madrid on Monday for the trophy parade, where King Felipe VI called the squad "legendary and historic."

Second star for Spain — does Messi have one more World Cup left in him, or was Sunday the end? 🌍

17 U.S. troops dead. 9 straight days of strikes. No ceasefire in sight.

The U.S. and Iran traded fire again Monday. The ninth consecutive night of bombing since their truce over the Strait of Hormuz collapsed. Three American service members died this weekend alone: two in an Iranian missile strike on a base in Jordan, one in a drone-disposal accident in Iraq. Trump called the strikes "in honor" of them.

Iran hit back at U.S. allies too, power and desalination plants in Kuwait, targets in Bahrain, home of the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet and says it disabled two tankers trying to cross the Strait of Hormuz. Iran says thousands of its people, most of them civilians, have died since the war began in February.

Crude oil topped $90 a barrel Monday as markets price in a war that keeps re-igniting every time it looks close to ending.

Nine days of bombing since talks collapsed — where does this go from here? 🌍

59 charges. 7 victims. One sealed warrant — that's what put Andrew Tate in handcuffs Saturday.

US Marshals arrested him and brother Tristan, 38, in Miami on the extradition warrant. Hours earlier, Britain's Crown Prosecution Service had filed 38 new charges, rape, trafficking, and offences involving indecent images of a child, spanning 2010 to 2017 — pushing the brothers' combined total to 59. Andrew, 39, faces 42 of them. Tristan faces 17.

The irony: he was cuffed right outside Miami's James L. Knight Center, where he'd been booked to appear at a bare-knuckle boxing event — the same "untouchable" brand he's sold to millions of young men.

Both deny every charge. Their lawyer calls it a "political hit" and says they'll "walk free."

Miami federal court this week. The UK extradition fight starts right after.

New charges filed, then an arrest, within hours — does that timeline read as coincidence to you? 🌍

This situation in California, USA is really scary and still unfolding right now.

In Garden Grove, Orange County, a massive chemical tank at GKN Aerospace is overheating badly and at risk of exploding. It’s holding thousands of gallons of highly flammable and toxic chemicals. Over 50,000 people have been forced to evacuate their homes. Families, kids, elderly, many spending Memorial Day weekend in shelters that are already filling up fast.

Officials just found a crack in the tank, which they’re calling a possible positive sign because it might release some pressure and stop a full disaster. Firefighters are working non-stop spraying water to cool it down, but the tension is still high.

Imagine you can’t even go back to your own house because of an industrial accident like this. This is exactly the kind of thing that makes you question safety standards and how these big companies and authorities prepare.

Praying this gets resolved safely without any explosion or major toxic leak. Our thoughts with everyone displaced — stay strong.

India is literally burning right now.

Large parts of North and Central India are under a severe heatwave with temperatures touching 45-48°C in many cities. Delhi just recorded its hottest May night in 14 years. Power demand has shot up to record levels causing frequent long power cuts. Construction workers, street vendors and daily wage earners are the worst hit – hospitals are seeing more and more heatstroke cases every day.

This kind of extreme heat every summer is becoming normal and it's dangerous. The common man is paying the price with his health and daily struggle while the system seems unprepared year after year.

Please take care of yourself and your loved ones. Drink lots of water, avoid direct sun between 12 to 4, and check on elderly people around you.

Hoping for some rain soon to bring relief.

Guys, this case is breaking hearts and making everyone furious across India right now.

In Bhopal, 33-year-old ex-model and actress Twisha Sharma was found dead just five months after her marriage. Her family is screaming that she was tortured for dowry by her husband and mother-in-law who is a retired judge. The allegations are so serious that the Supreme Court has taken suo motu notice. Today they did a second autopsy by the AIIMS Delhi team and she was cremated amid massive tension and protests.

The family says she was mentally and physically harassed for money even though the in-laws are well-off. Videos of the family crying and narrating the horror are all over social media. This is the same story we keep hearing — dowry demands destroying young lives, and it doesn’t stop even in so-called “respectable” families.When will this end?

When will our daughters be safe after marriage? The system has to wake up fast. Justice must be swift and seen by everyone.

Praying for Twisha’s soul and strength for her family. This pain is unbearable.

Stay alert, speak up if you see any signs of harassment around you. Dowry is a curse on our society.
