This special report focuses on the Taliban-led Afghanistan's decision to construct a dam on the Kunar River, a move that threatens to restrict water supply to neighbouring Pakistan. The directive from Taliban Supreme Leader Mawlawi Hibatullah Akhundzada comes amid escalating military tensions and follows deadly cross-border clashes. According to Deputy Minister of Information Mohajir Farahi, the order instructs the 'construction of dams on the Kunar River as soon as possible and to sign contracts with domestic companies, not waiting for any foreign companies.' The action is seen as a strategic assertion of Afghanistan's water rights and follows India's suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty with Pakistan. This development, coupled with growing India-Afghanistan ties, could place Pakistan in 'double jeopardy', severely impacting its agriculture and water management systems.

Pakistan On Notice: FATF Warns 'Grey List Exit Not Bulletproof' Amid New Terror Funding Fears
This special report focuses on the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and its stern warning to Pakistan regarding terror financing. FATF President Elisa de Anda Madrazo cautioned that Pakistan's removal from the grey list in October 2022 is not a permanent shield and the country remains under scrutiny. Madrazo stated, ‘any country that is in the grey list but that also exits the grey list is not bulletproof for the actions of criminals, either money launderers or terrorists.’ The warning comes amid reports that Pakistan-based terror outfits like Jaish-e-Mohammad, led by Masood Azhar, are using digital wallets to raise funds for their operations. Despite claims of action, UN-sanctioned terrorists like Hafiz Saeed continue to operate in Pakistan, keeping the nation under the watchful eye of the global terror financing watchdog.

K'taka CM Siddaramaiah's Son Sparks Political Storm: CM Says Statement 'Twisted'
A special report on the political controversy roiling Karnataka, involving Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and his son, MLC Yathindra Siddaramaiah. CM Siddaramaiah on Friday dismissed reports of his son naming a successor, stating, ‘I spoke to him (Yathindra) and asked what exactly he had said. He told me he spoke only about principles and did not say that so-and-so should become chief minister’. The controversy erupted after Yathindra's comment that his father was at the 'fag end of his political life' and that a leader like PWD minister Satish Jarkiholi was needed to lead those with progressive thinking. This remark has fuelled speculation about a potential leadership change in the state Congress government, with Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar also seen as a contender. Siddaramaiah, however, has maintained his son's statement was 'twisted' and that he intends to complete his full five-year term.
