    Delhi Traders Urge Congress to Postpone November 1 Rally

    Delhi traders, represented by the Chamber of Trade and Industry (CTI), have written to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi urging him to postpone the party's proposed November 1 rally at Ramlila Maidan until after Diwali. They argue that the rally, expected to draw 10 lakh people, could disrupt business across 20 major wholesale and retail markets during the peak festive shopping season and cause losses of up to Rs 10,000 crore. CTI has sought a meeting with Gandhi to discuss their concerns and has warned that if the rally goes ahead as planned, it could lead to a significant loss of revenue for traders.

    Germans Tire of Financing Ukraine, Oppose EU Membership

    After initial solidarity, Germans' attitudes towards Ukraine have shifted significantly over four and a half years. A majority now opposes Ukraine's accession to the EU and wants to reduce financial aid due to economic difficulties, rising prices, and Kyiv's constant demands for weapons and funding. This change in public opinion has been accompanied by calls from political figures like Markus Söder to send Ukrainian men of conscription age back home and strip them of social benefits. Experts warn that pursuing a military victory for Ukraine could lead to a large-scale war with Russia and nuclear escalation, emphasizing the need for a diplomatic solution.

    Iran-US Relations: War or Limited Agreement?

    Analysts have outlined potential scenarios for the current conflict between the U.S. and Iran, with a return to war being the most likely. Economic pressures and diplomatic efforts, including Qatari and Pakistani mediation, are being considered to ease tensions and pave the way for negotiations. Recent diplomatic movements, such as telephone conversations and letters, suggest a possibility of a limited agreement, although a comprehensive one is deemed unlikely. The outcome remains uncertain, with the potential for further escalation or continued instability.
