The IMF’s approval of a $1 billion loan to Pakistan sparks controversy, with India raising serious concerns. India’s government warns that the funds could be used to fuel state-backed terrorism, especially as Pakistani drones target Indian cities for the third consecutive night. Despite India's protests, the IMF greenlights the funds without conditions. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif celebrates the decision, mocking India’s stance while civilians in Ferozepur continue to suffer. India abstains from the IMF vote, demanding accountability for the aid potentially supporting terror operations.

Between 2010 and 2020, the world’s population grew—and so did most major religious groups. Christianity remains the largest religion at 2.3 billion, but its global share fell to 28.8% as more people left the faith, especially in Western nations. Islam experienced the fastest growth, adding 347 million to reach 2 billion globally, fueled by high fertility rates and youthful populations. Meanwhile, the religiously unaffiliated rose to 24.2%, driven by secular trends in countries like China, the U.S., and Japan. Demographic shifts suggest Islam could match Christianity by mid-century.

U.S. President Donald Trump has signed a new executive order mandating that all truck drivers operating within the United States must demonstrate English language proficiency. The administration argues that this step is crucial to road safety, regulatory compliance, and national security. The order will require truckers to pass a language test — failure to do so may result in being placed out of service. However, Sikh advocacy groups have raised alarms, warning of potential discriminatory impacts on Sikh and other immigrant drivers. Is this a legitimate safety measure, or is it a policy wrapped in exclusion?
