Fresh controversy has erupted over the fatal Air India crash in Gujaratās Ahmedabad last month. A Wall Street Journal report claims a cockpit recording reveals the captain cut off the aircraftās fuel midair, moments after takeoff. The first officer, reportedly panicked, questioned the captainās move, as per the leaked cockpit transcript. Both pilots, Captain Sumeet Sabharwal and First Officer Clive Kunder, were killed along with 240 others onboard and 19 on the groundāonly one person survived. While the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau's (AIIB) preliminary report confirms both fuel switches were turned off within a second, it doesnāt state whether the action was accidental or deliberate. Indiaās Civil Aviation Minister urged restraint, saying no conclusions should be drawn yet. The Federation of Indian Pilots (FIP) has strongly condemned the US media report, calling it speculative and harmful. Meanwhile, Air India completed checks on the Fuel Control Switches in all Boeing 787s with no issues found.

Russia has revealed that Washington has āpostponedā a crucial third round of consultations aimed at resolving bilateral irritants, according to Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova. The talks, initially expected to build on earlier rounds held in Istanbul in February and April, are seen as essential for easing growing U.S.āRussia tensions. While the U.S. hasn't formally canceled the negotiations, the delay has sparked speculation over Washingtonās intent and diplomatic posture. Zakharova emphasized that contacts remain active behind the scenes and that Moscow still perceives interest from the U.S. in improving ties. The āirritant removalā dialogue, seen as a rare platform amid escalating rhetoric, now faces renewed uncertainty. Is Washington backing away or recalibrating its approach?

In a dramatic escalation of Turkeyās political crackdown, three more opposition mayors ā Abdurrahman Tutdere of Adiyaman, Zeydan Karalar of Adana, and Muhittin Bocek of Antalya ā have been arrested in sweeping early-morning raids. All are members of the main opposition party, CHP, which has faced a wave of detentions following Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamogluās imprisonment in March. The mayors are accused of bribery, bid-rigging, and organized crime, though exact charges remain undisclosed. The arrests come amid mounting criticism of President Erdoganās government, with critics claiming the detentions are politically motivated attempts to weaken the CHP ahead of future elections. Imamoglu, now jailed, has since been nominated as the CHPās presidential candidate, and his arrest sparked Turkeyās largest protests in a decade. Observers warn of further instability if the crackdown continues.

Turkey is battling deadly wildfires across multiple provinces, with two fatalities confirmed and over 200 homes destroyed. The blazes, burning for seven straight days, have taken a sinister turn after a group calling itself āChildren of Fireā claimed responsibility for coordinated arson attacks in six cities. The group, allegedly linked to the banned Kurdish militant organization PKK, says it started the fires as part of a political campaign.
The PKK has not commented on the claim. Firefighting operations continue near major cities like Izmir, Antalya, and Istanbul, with support from helicopters and aircraft. Roads near popular resort town ĆeÅme have been closed, and hundreds have been evacuated. As emergency services struggle to contain the flames, Turkey now faces a national security scare amid environmental devastation. The interior ministry has launched investigations into the arson claims while warning that further attacks may be imminent as the dry summer season continues.
