New York City lit up with chants and cheers as Zohran Mamdani’s historic victory sank in, a win that carried the pride of countless firsts, and the feeling that something profoundly hopeful had finally arrived.

Zohran Mamdani is a Ugandan-born Indian-American politician and member of the Democratic Socialists of America. Raised in New York City, he represents a new wave of progressive leadership focused on housing justice, healthcare access, and equality for marginalized communities.

Before becoming New York City’s first Muslim and South Asian mayor, Mamdani served as a state assemblyman from Queens, where he championed tenants’ rights and police reform. Known for his outspoken advocacy and grassroots approach, Mamdani’s rise reflects the growing influence of young, diverse voices reshaping American politics.

A UPS cargo plane, Flight 2976, crashed shortly after taking off from Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport on November 4, 2025, en route to Honolulu. The McDonnell Douglas MD-11F, carrying a substantial fuel load destined for the long haul flight, erupted into a massive fireball upon impact, triggering multiple explosions and sending plumes of smoke dozens of miles across the sky.

The crash caused at least seven fatalities (including some on the ground) and injured 11 others. Emergency crews responded to a wide-area blaze; a shelter-in-place order was issued for locations within a five-mile radius of the airport. The aircraft reportedly carried tens of thousands of gallons of jet fuel and careened into nearby industrial buildings, highlighting the severity of the blast and the risk to surrounding communities.

The streets of Astoria, Queens, erupted in celebration as Zohran Mamdani’s supporters poured out to mark his landmark victory in New York City’s mayoral election. The 34-year-old democratic socialist, who once served as a state assembly member for Queens, made history as the city’s first Muslim and South Asian mayor.

For many New Yorkers, especially from immigrant and working-class backgrounds, the win feels deeply personal, proof that the city’s leadership can finally reflect its vibrant diversity.

34-year-old Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist and state assembly member, has been elected mayor of New York City, becoming the city’s first Muslim mayor, first South Asian mayor, and youngest mayor in over a century. He defeated former Governor Andrew Cuomo, who ran as an independent after losing the Democratic nomination.

Mamdani’s campaign surged with support from progressive voters, promising major reforms including free public transit, childcare, rent freezes, and taxing the wealthy to fund social programs. He now takes office with national implications for the Democratic Party, as his win signals a shift toward younger leadership and progressive policies in America’s largest city.

Coca-Cola’s latest Christmas advert is fully AI-generated, and it shows. The company proudly says they used even fewer people this year, adding, “We need to keep moving forward and pushing the envelope… The genie is out of the bottle, and you’re not going to put it back in.” The result is stiff, lifeless animation that completely lacks the warmth and emotion that real human animators bring. For a multi-billion-dollar brand, relying on algorithms instead of paying artists who craft every frame is shameful.

Holiday adverts are meant to touch hearts and create magic, but this one does neither. AI can never replicate the nuance, soul, and subtlety that human hands bring to storytelling. Instead of celebrating the season, the ad leaves viewers cold, a hollow shadow of what Christmas campaigns used to be. Real artistry has been replaced by lifeless code, and audiences can feel it.

The United States has formally requested the United Nations Security Council to approve the creation of an International Security Force (ISF) in Gaza, proposed to stay for at least two years. According to Axios, the US sent a draft resolution outlining the force’s powers, responsibilities, and deployment details. The plan envisions the ISF overseeing Gaza’s border security, protecting civilians and humanitarian corridors, training Palestinian police, and ensuring the area remains demilitarized. The Gaza Board of Peace, chaired by US President Donald Trump, is set to advise on the formation of this force.

The draft emphasizes that the ISF will operate as an enforcement mission, not a peacekeeping one, to provide interim security while Israel gradually withdraws and the Palestinian Authority implements reforms. Gaza’s civilian administration would be managed by a non-political technocrat committee, while humanitarian aid would be coordinated through the UN, Red Cross, and Red Crescent. The resolution stresses that the force will act in accordance with international law to fulfill its mandate.

The sudden repatriation of Afghan refugees has left 291 teachers jobless, a move that educators say has devastated entire families. Speaking at the Peshawar Press Club, Farhana Gul, Vice President of the Teachers Association, urged the government to show compassion and absorb the displaced teachers into various departments instead of “rewarding 45 years of service with unemployment.”

“These teachers, including 200 women, have dedicated their lives to educating children in refugee camps. Now, they have nowhere to go,” said Syed Muhammad Shah, the provincial president of the Afghan Camp School Teachers Association. PPP’s Mehr Sultana announced that her party would raise the issue in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly, calling on all political forces to unite in defense of the teachers who “served this nation’s humanitarian cause for over four decades.”

According to initial reports, maintenance work was underway on the AC system when the explosion took place. All four injured individuals have been shifted to the hospital, while authorities have launched an investigation into the cause of the incident. The blast has raised serious concerns about safety and maintenance protocols within one of the country’s most secure institutions.

This Halloween, one young boy stole the show with an uncanny impersonation of Donald Trump, complete with a sharp suit, red tie, distinct hairstyle, and trademark gestures. The viral clip shows him adopting Trump’s voice and mannerisms with such precision that viewers applauded both his confidence and comedic timing.

Islamabad’s NUML University has banned students from wearing Peshawari chappals, while Air University has gone a step further by prohibiting shalwar kameez altogether under their new dress codes. Both institutions, based in the capital of Pakistan, seem to have forgotten that these are not just clothes, but a part of our national and cultural identity.

This policing of tradition in our own country is disgraceful. What message are we sending to students? That looking “Western” is the only form of respectability? Universities should be centres of pride, not shame. It’s high time NUML and Air University rethink these shallow, colonial-minded policies and remember that shalwar kameez and Peshawari chappal are symbols of who we are, not something to hide.

Even if a rule was violated, nothing, absolutely nothing, justifies a man laying his hands on a woman, let alone dragging her across the marble floors of the Holy Kaaba. The video from Makkah showing a Saudi police officer violently pushing and pulling a woman performing Umrah has left Muslims around the world horrified. His aggression, his complete lack of restraint, and the audacity to behave this way in front of the Kaaba, the most sacred place on Earth, is beyond comprehension.

That moment shattered the sanctity of the holy site more than any minor infraction ever could. The Kaaba is where humility and mercy should reign, not ego and brutality. No uniform, no authority, and no regulation can excuse what the world saw, a blatant act of humiliation against a pilgrim who came to worship. Respect for the sanctity of the Haram begins with those entrusted to protect it.

In a city built on history, Rome just lost another piece of its soul. A medieval tower, one that had weathered invasions, wars, and centuries of time, partially collapsed during renovation work, undone not by barbarians but by bureaucracy and careless urban planning.

Residents watched in disbelief as the ancient structure gave way under the weight of modernization.

It’s more than just stone that fell, it’s how easily heritage can crumble when profit and haste outweigh care and respect. Rome’s skyline, already burdened by cranes and construction, now bears another scar carved by human negligence.
