Russian President Vladimir Putin said Russia had been hit by more than 30,000 sanctions, twice as many as those imposed on all other countries combined,  as he accused states of turning economic competition into coercive geopolitical pressure.
“More than 30,000 sanctions have been slapped on Russia which is twice as much as the number of all sanctions against all other countries of the world combined,” Putin said at the Leaders’ Session of the BRICS Business Forum in New Delhi.
Putin said the pressure on Russia was part of a broader pattern in which competition was increasingly taking “some ugly forms”, including at the state level. @NewIndianXpress

Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal pitched for a unified interlinked digital payment mechanism among BRICS nations settled to minimise trade friction, open up critical supply chains, and enable seamless movement of skilled professionals. 'I would urge the international trustees and partner countries to link our payment systems, trade in each other's local currencies, make digital trade global, and build together for the future emerging technologies,' said Goyal.

Speaking at opening ceremony of BRICS Business Forum 2026, Goyal said, "We bring strong capabilities across many sectors, including agriculture, pharmaceuticals, engineering, electronics, automobiles and auto components, services, and should also link our start-up ecosystem. These strengths offer significant scope, as was earlier mentioned, for joint innovation, technology partnerships, and resilient global value chains."

At Leaders' Session of BRICS Business Forum, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian says, "One of the most important steps is to expand the use of national currencies in trade among the members. This step must be accompanied by the establishment of the necessary instruments for managing currency risks and reciprocal settlements. Since the current financial system is vulnerable to political shocks due to its concentration on a limited number of currencies, in order to transform trade cooperation into real investment, the New Development Bank must become the principal engine for financing infrastructure and energy in member countries through dedicated credit lines, financing in local currencies and guarantee instruments for attracting prive capital."

A TGSRTC bus crashed into a petrol station at Batasingaram near Hyderabad. The driver reportedly lost control while trying to avoid an auto-rickshaw, local reports said.

CCTV footage shows the bus swerving off the road and crashing into the petrol station. The impact damaged vehicles and diesel dispensing equipment at the station.

The crash triggered panic as petrol station staff and customers rushed away from the area. No casualties or fuel leakage were reported, narrowly averting a major disaster.

Police from Abdullapurmet are investigating the crash and the circumstances leading to it.
