Drowning Prevention Awareness Campaign: A Mission to Save Lives Across India| Oneindia

The Drowning Prevention Awareness campaign, launched on World Drowning Prevention Day (25 July), is a heartfelt initiative by the Hemant Bala Advaitha (HBA) Foundation. Sparked by the tragic loss of 18-year-old music prodigy Advaitha Verma—who drowned in Pawna Lake in India's Pune, in June 2024—his parents Sudesh Verma and Renu Kaul Verma turned their grief into purpose. This Drowning Prevention Awareness campaign aims to educate, inform and prevent such avoidable tragedies nationwide. Backed by the WHO and inspired by the UN resolution of 2021, the Drowning Prevention Awareness movement highlights the urgent need for safety, education and community action.

Thailand-Cambodia War: 100,000 Thais Flee As Cambodian Rockets Rain On Border Cities | UN Silent

The Thailand–Cambodia border conflict has entered its second day, forcing over 100,000 Thai civilians into shelters across Surin, Sisaket, Ubon Ratchathani, and Buriram. Reports confirm at least 14 civilian deaths in Thailand and one in Cambodia amid artillery fire and airstrikes. Cambodia accuses Thailand of using banned cluster bombs, vowing to take the matter to the UN, while Thailand blames Cambodia for targeting schools and hospitals with Russian-made BM-21 rockets. The U.S. and China have offered mediation, but Thailand’s PM rejects outside intervention for now. #ThailandCambodiaConflict #ThaiCambodiaBorder #PrayForThailand #PrayForCambodia #ASEAN #BorderClash #SoutheastAsia #PreahVihear #TaMuenThom #StandWithThailand #StandWithCambodia #HumanRights #DisplacedCivilians #ThailandNews #CambodiaNews #WorldNews #Geopolitics #InternationalRelations #MilitaryConflict#ViralVideo ~HT.410~ED.194~GR.124~

Macron Recognizes Palestinian State, Enrages US, Israel |France Accused of Backing Hamas 'Terrorism' [Video]

Macron Recognizes Palestinian State, Enrages US, Israel |France Accused of Backing Hamas 'Terrorism'

French President Emmanuel Macron has announced that France will officially recognize the State of Palestine in September, sparking fierce backlash from both Israel and the United States. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio condemned the move as “reckless,” while Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu called it “shameful” and accused France of rewarding terrorism. As Macron defends the decision as a step toward peace and an end to the Gaza war, critics argue it signals growing Western support for Palestine and Hamas. Is France challenging U.S.-Israeli dominance in Middle East policy? And will this shift trigger more European nations to follow? The announcement comes amid international outrage over Israel's military campaign in Gaza and a growing death toll. With nearly three-quarters of UN members now backing Palestinian statehood, global pressure on Israel continues to mount. #Macron #FrancePalestine #IsraelPalestine #GazaWar #Hamas #MiddleEastConflict #UNRecognition #TwoStateSolution #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #Netanyahu #USIsrael #PalestineStatehood #EmmanuelMacron ~HT.318~PR.274~ED.346~GR.125~

Gaza Ceasefire Talk FAILS: President Donald Trump said Hamas refused a Gaza ceasefire deal after Israel and the U.S. walked away from indirect negotiations with the militant group. “It’s too bad. Hamas didn’t really want to make a deal. I think they want to die,” Trump stated. He suggested Hamas was unwilling to negotiate over the final hostages, knowing what would follow.

U.S. President Donald Trump has lashed out at French President Emmanuel Macron over his announcement to recognize Palestine this September.

Israel, Ukraine Launch Joint Talks To CRUSH Iranian Threat Amid Rising WW3 And Nuclear Fears

In a dramatic shift on the global chessboard, Israel and Ukraine have agreed to initiate a joint dialogue aimed at neutralizing the growing threat posed by Iran. Both nations—haunted by Iran’s military exports and nuclear ambitions—announced the new cooperation in Kyiv during Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar’s visit. Ukraine accuses Iran of fuelling Russia’s war machine with kamikaze drones, while Israel views Iran’s nuclear program as an existential threat. Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga of Ukraine declared Iran a “global security menace,” and thanked Israel for its surprise strike on Iranian military targets last month. The move marks a pivotal tightening of Israel–Ukraine ties, despite past tensions over Israel’s neutrality in the Russia-Ukraine war. Both countries have now drawn a clear red line around Tehran’s expanding influence—and plan to counter it. The anti-Iran dialogue could reshape the Middle East–Eastern Europe dynamic in the months ahead. #IsraelUkraine #IranThreat #DroneWarfare #NuclearIran #MiddleEastTensions #UkraineWar #GideonSaar #AndriySybiga #TehranWarning #RussiaUkraine #IranianDrones #Geopolitics #AlliesAgainstIran #NuclearDealCollapse #AxisOfResistance #KyivDiplomacy #IsraelStrikesIran #MilitaryTechWar #GlobalSecurityCrisis #AntiIranAlliance ~HT.410~GR.124~ED.420~

'South China Sea is Ours': China-US 'Dirty' Face-off at UNSC Moments After Trump Announces BIG Deal

Tensions flared at the United Nations Security Council as China’s Permanent Representative, Fu Cong, fired back at the United States over its accusations regarding the South China Sea. In a fiery exchange during the UNSC debate on multilateralism and peaceful dispute resolution, Fu accused Washington of hypocrisy, interference, and fueling instability in the region. While the U.S. criticized China’s actions, Beijing firmly defended its territorial sovereignty and maritime claims, calling the American narrative misleading and dangerous. With both sides trading barbs in front of global representatives, the showdown raises fresh questions about who is truly threatening peace in the Indo-Pacific. #China #SouthChinaSea #UNSC #FuCong #UnitedNations #USChinaTensions #Geopolitics #IndoPacific #TerritorialDispute #GlobalDiplomacy #InternationalRelations #BreakingNews #UNDebate #ChinaVsUS #WorldNews Also Read China's Sonar Shocker: The 20km Sub-Spotter That Could Sink Naval Strategies :: https://www.oneindia.com/feature/chinas-sonar-shocker-the-20km-sub-spotter-that-could-sink-naval-strategies-3940843.html?ref=DMDesc China’s PLA Warns: 'We’ll Crush Foreign Encroachment' In South China Sea :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/china-s-pla-warns-we-ll-crush-foreign-encroachment-in-south-china-sea-011-3932325.html?ref=DMDesc WATCH Video | Standoff At South China Sea: Chinese Coast Guard Attacks Philippine Navy Boats :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/watch-video-standoff-at-south-china-sea-chinese-coast-guard-attacks-philippine-navy-boats-3857477.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~PR.274~ED.103~GR.125~
