Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw and Parliamentary Committee head Nishikant Dubey demanded clarification and an apology, emphasizing the positive governance record of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has vowed to block the EU’s new budget plan, refusing to support additional funding for Ukraine’s war effort. Orbán slammed the proposal as a “budget of hopelessness,” arguing it would harm European farmers, blackmail Hungary, and waste resources on a conflict Ukraine cannot win. He warned that 20–25% of the EU’s upcoming budget would directly go to Ukraine, leaving Europe weaker and divided. As Brussels pushes for unity, Orbán insists Ukraine should remain a partner, not a full EU member.

Senators Cory Booker and Ted Cruz engaged in a fiery exchange during a Senate Judiciary Subcommittee hearing on threats to federal judges. As Cruz accused Democrats of remaining silent during threats against conservative justices, Booker pushed back, calling the remarks “dangerous” and a “patent lie.” The tense back-and-forth highlighted rising political divisions over judicial safety, enforcement of protest laws, and the legacy of Trump-era rhetoric. The hearing, titled "The Supposedly Least Dangerous Branch," underscored growing concerns about the politicization of the judiciary and partisan responses to violence and intimidation.

Actor Shefali Jariwala's sudden death at the age of 42 due to cardiac arrest has reignited widespread fears about COVID-19 vaccine safety. Amid a surge of speculation, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has broken its silence — citing ICMR and AIIMS studies that debunk any link between COVID-19 vaccines and sudden heart attacks.
In this video, we break down the government's official findings, what experts say about cardiac risks post-COVID, and why misinformation can be more dangerous than the virus itself.

India has crossed 7,000 active COVID-19 cases, with Kerala reporting the highest spike and three new deaths. The XFG variant, a sub-lineage of Omicron with strong immune evasion, has been detected across the country, raising global alarm. Originating in Canada, the variant carries four spike protein mutations. Globally, SARS-CoV-2 activity is rising, especially in South-East Asia and Eastern Mediterranean regions, with test positivity rates matching last year’s peak. WHO continues to monitor the spread amid poor ICU and hospitalization data from heavily affected regions.

U.S. President Donald Trump has hinted at a possible trade deal with India but warned of steep tariffs if no agreement is reached by August 1. Calling PM Modi a "friend," Trump criticized India’s high tariffs on U.S. goods, threatening 20–25% duties if talks stall. The U.S. had earlier imposed a 26% tariff, now suspended during negotiations. With the fifth round of trade talks just concluded, officials say discussions continue as the deadline nears, with another round slated for August 25.
