Wall Street Vs Trump Stocks are off to their worst start to a year since 2022

Because of the uncertainty surrounding Trump's tariff measures, Wall Street has been racked by volatility this year. It is the worst start since 2022 and the worst quarter since September 2022 for the benchmark S&P 500 index, which is down 4.6% for the year.

Exclusive: Beijing pushes to join security efforts for citizens in Pakistan, sources say

According to insiders, Beijing is urging Pakistan to allow its own security personnel to protect thousands of Chinese residents working in the South Asian country following a vehicle bombing in Karachi that was deemed a serious security breach. Last month's airport explosion in the southern port city, which killed two Chinese engineers returning to work on a project after a vacation in Thailand, was the latest in a series of strikes against Beijing's interests in Pakistan. The assaults, and Islamabad's failure to dissuade them, have infuriated China, prompting Pakistan to initiate official discussions for a cooperative security control system.

Rivers: A’Court sets up special panel, commences hearing Thursday

The Court of Appeal in Abuja has set up a special three-member bench to examine political issues from Rivers State, with sittings set to commence on Thursday, November 14. This action comes after mounting legal battles between Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his predecessor, the current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike. The disagreement has resulted in a rush of legal lawsuits from the state, causing splits among political players and resulting in contradicting decisions from courts with comparable power – a problem that has sparked condemnation from both judiciary stakeholders and the general public.

Why it costs India so little to reach the Moon and Mars

India recently launched a number of ambitious space projects and allocated 227 billion rupees ($2.7 billion; £2.1 billion) to them. The ambitions include the next stage of India's historic trip to the Moon, sending an orbiter to Venus, constructing the first phase of the country's first space station, and developing a new reusable heavy-lifting rocket to launch satellites. It is the single greatest commitment of monies ever made for space programs in India, but given the scope and complexity of the projects, it is far from luxurious and has once again highlighted the cost-effectiveness of India's space program.
