Rotherham, a UK town infamous for the grooming gang scandal involving predominantly British-Pakistani men, has appointed Rukhsana Ismail—a British-Pakistani woman—as mayor.
Though chosen by council members, not public vote, the move sparked backlash online.
Critics argue it's insensitive to victims, calling it a "cruel twist" and accusing the UK of cultural erasure.
Others defend Ismail’s appointment as merit-based and unrelated to past crimes.
The controversy reignites debates around identity, justice, and Islamophobia in a deeply fractured political climate.

In a significant diplomatic development, India's External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing on July 15th, on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit. This high-stakes meeting marked Jaishankar's first visit to China since the deadly 2020 Galwan Valley border clash, signalling a cautious step toward the normalization of ties between the two Asian giants. During his visit, Jaishankar also held talks with Chinese Vice President Han Zheng and Foreign Minister Wang Yi, advocating for a "far-seeing" and strategic approach to the bilateral relationship.
The core of the discussions revolved around the protracted border standoff in Eastern Ladakh. Jaishankar firmly reiterated India's position, stressing that complete troop disengagement in the remaining friction points of Depsang and Demchok is a prerequisite for restoring normalcy and rebuilding trust. He emphasized that peace and tranquility along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) are fundamental to the overall development of India-China relations.
A key highlight of the meeting was Jaishankar's subtle but sharp criticism of China's recent export curbs on rare earth minerals, a move that directly threatens India's critical manufacturing and high-tech sectors. With China controlling over 90% of the global rare earth output, Beijing wields significant economic leverage, a point not lost on the Indian delegation.
Despite the diplomatic optics of cooperation within the SCO framework, deep-seated strategic mistrust remains a major obstacle. The talks were overshadowed by recent revelations from Lt Gen Rahul Singh that China had provided live intelligence, weapons, and drones to Pakistan during a previous conflict. This underscores the challenge India faces, dealing with China's "sweet diplomacy" on one hand and its "cunning moves" on the other, proving that a real thaw in relations will require more than just high-level meetings.

German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius has issued a stark warning to Moscow, declaring German troops are “ready to Kill Russian soldiers” if Russia attacks any NATO member. Speaking in Lithuania, Pistorius emphasized Germany’s duty to defend NATO’s eastern flank and said the Bundeswehr is shifting from deterrence to combat readiness. Citing Russia as an existential threat, he called for increased NATO presence in Eastern Europe. Berlin’s new strategic posture reflects a major departure from post-WWII restraint amid fears of a full-scale NATO-Russia conflict.

Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders has long been one of Europe’s most polarizing figures. From calling Moroccans “scum” to demanding a ban on mosques and the Quran, Wilders has built his political career on fierce anti-Islam rhetoric. But who is the man behind the controversies? Why does he command such influence — and fear — in the Netherlands and beyond? This video unpacks Wilders’ rise, his inflammatory speeches, the fallout from his policies, and how he just triggered a political earthquake in Dutch politics.

UK Far-Right Leader Tommy Robinson has been released four months early after the UK High Court ruled on his contempt of court sentence. Jailed for violating an injunction linked to a libel case involving Syrian refugee Jamal Hijazi, Robinson faced penalties for promoting a banned film repeating defamatory claims. Despite promising future compliance, Robinson criticized the government in a viral post and thanked Elon Musk for support. The case has reignited debate on censorship, defamation, and freedom of expression in Britain.
