Explained: Canada Approves Major Citizenship Law Overhaul: Relief for Indian-Origin Families


The Indian Express has the story.

Canada is changing its citizenship rules to remove decades-old restrictions that created thousands of “lost Canadians” — including many Indians who settled overseas. With the passing of Bill C-3, Canadians born abroad will now be able to pass citizenship to children also born outside Canada, provided they can show a substantial connection to the country. The reforms follow a court ruling that earlier laws were unconstitutional and unfair. Canada says the move makes its Citizenship Act more inclusive and aligned with how modern global families live. But when will the changes take effect? Who benefits? And what does this mean for Indian-origin families worldwide? Watch this complete explainer from The Indian Express to understand the new rules, legal implications, timelines, and expected surge in citizenship requests.

Air India Crash - Boeing Fuel Control Switch Error Explained


AiTelly on Youtube has the story.

Three Seconds to Disaster”:

The Story Behind Air India Flight AI 117Tragic Dual Engine Failure

On what began as an ordinary day, Air India Flight AI117 prepared for takeoff from Ahmedabad Airport.

The skies were clear, the aircraft—well-maintained and staffed by experienced pilots—was ready for its scheduled journey. Everything appeared routine. But within seconds of liftoff, something unthinkable happened.

A Smooth Takeoff Turns Sudden
At 08:08 G M T, the aircraft began its takeoff roll down the runway, accelerating steadily.

As the nose lifted and the wheels left the ground, the plane climbed with expected power. 

By the third second after liftoff, it had reached a speed of around 180 knots—typical and well within safe parameters.

But right at that moment—just three seconds into the flight—the normalcy ended.
A Critical, Sudden Action

In the cockpit, both pilots were carrying out post-takeoff procedures when, inexplicably, a critical error occurred.

The fuel control switches for Engine 1 and Engine 2—the controls that allow fuel to flow to the engines—were moved from RUN to CUTOFF, almost simultaneously.
Within about one second, both switches had been thrown, one after the other. This action abruptly severed the fuel supply to both engines.
It wasn’t a mechanical fault. It wasn’t turbulence. It wasn’t a system glitch. Something, or someone, had physically moved both switches.


"Why Did You Cut Off?"

In those next few moments, the cockpit voice recorder captured a tense and confused exchange between the pilots.

“Why did you cut off?” one asked, alarm in his voice.

“I didn’t,” came the immediate reply.

This short but chilling dialogue reveals a moment of sheer disbelief. Neither pilot appeared to understand what had just occurred.

Neither had knowingly taken the action that caused both engines to shut down in mid-air—just seconds into the flight.

The Engines Wind Down

With no fuel flowing, the aircraft’s engines began winding down rapidly. The engine speeds—monitored as N1 and N2—dropped sharply.

The aircraft, now without thrust, was essentially gliding. But it wasn’t designed to glide, especially not this soon after takeoff, and especially not at low altitude.

Almost immediately, the aircraft’s emergency backup system kicked in.

The Ram Air Turbine a small wind-powered device used to generate emergency hydraulic and electrical power—deployed automatically.

This helped maintain minimal control and instrumentation, but couldn’t restart the engines or stop the descent.

Khamenei warns US will pay "heavy price" if it attacks Iran again


Global News has the story.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Thursday his country had delivered a “slap to America’s face” with its strike on an American base in Qatar, and warned against any further U.S. attacks in his first public comments since a ceasefire was declared with Israel after 12 days of war.

He also downplayed Sunday’s U.S. strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites using bunker-buster bombs and cruise missiles, saying that U.S. President Donald Trump — who said the attack “completely and fully obliterated Iran’s nuclear program — had “exaggerated” its impact.

Canada's new house speaker elected, asks for "a little grace period"


Global News has the story.

Canadian members of Parliament elected Liberal MP Francis Scarpaleggia as the House of Commons Speaker as their first order of business following the return of Parliament Monday.
 
Scarpaleggia was dragged to the front of the House of Commons by Prime Minister Mark Carney and interim Opposition Leader Andrew Scheer as part of the tradition when a new Speaker is named.
 
Scarpaleggia was up against five other Liberal colleagues, after Conservative MPs John Nater and Chris d’Entremont, the latter who served as former deputy Speaker in the last Parliament, withdrew their names from consideration.
 
“I would remind members that we are at the beginning of a mandate in the selfish hope that you will afford me a little grace period,” Scarpaleggia, an MP from the Montreal area, said. “I have few words because well, we all have things we want to accomplish and we’ve been away.”

Trump meets with Syrian president, marking 1st for US in 25 years


Global News has the story.

U.S. President Donald Trump met with Syria’s interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa on Wednesday morning in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the first meeting between the two nations’ leaders in 25 years.

The meeting took place Wednesday on the sidelines of Trump’s gathering with the leaders of the Gulf Cooperation Council. It is a major boost for war-torn Syria, which has been subject to crippling sanctions since 2004. Trump announced Tuesday he would lift sanctions on Syria, later calling it a "fresh start" for the country.

The meeting between Trump and al-Sharaa is also remarkable given the latter’s ties to al-Qaeda and early involvement with insurgents battling U.S. forces in Iraq.

Trump said al-Sharaa agreed to join the Abraham Accords and eventually recognize Israel, but that has not been confirmed by Syria.

South Korea: Busan: Is South Korea's Second-Largest City Facing Extinction?


CNA Insider on Youtube has the story.

Mediacorp is a Singaporean public broadcast service.

Busan is South Korea’s second biggest city, with more than 3 million inhabitants. Rising to prominence as an industrial powerhouse, it is now a popular tourist destination. But there are signs the port city could cease to exist, with South Korea’s economy largely centred around the capital Seoul.

Busan has lost about 600,000 people over the past three decades. Its youth are leaving for Seoul, as traditional sectors such as shipbuilding decline. The rise of Incheon in the Seoul Metropolitan Area is further intensifying Busan’s challenge to attract young workers.

As Busan falters, some Koreans are taking it upon themselves to revitalise their hometown. Authorities are pumping in funds - trying to create jobs, support startups and attract businesses. 
The worsening economic climate is also prompting a slow reversal, with some Busan natives moving back from Seoul, citing lower costs and a better quality of life.

Is there a chance for Busan to turn the tide, or will its lights go out for good?
