Aaryan Bora, Political Reporter Canada is cultivating its image as a very peaceful nation, positioned as a middle power, and  diplomatically active and economically prosperous. The defense spending of Canada is very poor and it’s lagged NATO. The  critics too cruised the armed forces as hollowed and unplanned. But suddenly Canada’s armed  forces are recruiting at a very large scale driven by combination of rising tensions in the global  order and economic certainty. We can analyse that Canada is planning something big as a  few years back their military machinery was very poor and suddenly, they became powerful.  There could be a huge reason behind it. Ottawa could be thinking that the protection which they  used to get from the US military could end very soon so they need to be prepared to face any  circumstances. The change of building military very strong was in the minds of the people in Canada long time  back when Russia invaded Ukraine ...

Zuzana Moscakova, Chief Reporter During the UK's already difficult political period. Nigel Farage, the leader of Reform UK, has proposed constructing immigration detention facilities in constituencies that vote for the Green Party. This could at first seem like just another strict immigration policy, however, it feels personal to a lot of individuals. The concept focuses on particular groups within the UK in addition to immigration. The idea is part of a larger strategy to boost deportations. Reform UK has discussed detaining significant numbers of migrants before releasing them off the nation. The idea that these centers would be situated in regions that may have a Green MP after the next general election has sparked controversy. These locations are frequently seen to be most against Reform UK's immigration policies, therefore, it has been seen by many as an almost 'threat' to residents considering voting for the Green Party. Critics believe that this goes too far. The...

Chief Reporter, Zuzana Moscakova One year into his term as prime minister, Mark Carney faces increasing domestic pressure  even though he remains relatively popular. Economic difficulties, increased tensions with the  US and mounting expectations of change all conspired to put him under scrutiny. Carney entered federal politics and became prime minister of Canada, replacing Justin Trudeau, in 2025, never having run for election before. A year later, he leads the country during a troubled period of both domestic pressure and strained relations with the United States. Prior to his political career, Carney worked as a central banker and economist. He previously  occupied positions in both the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England in senior roles.  While many doubted he could successfully adjust to political life his calm manner and  international experience won over voters. Carney has spent a lot of time on the road over his first year in office. He...

Zuzana Moscakova, Chief Reporter             Vanesa Zackova, Political Editor The US Senate has approved a $70 billion funding plan for immigration enforcement  agencies. This is meant to end a partial government shutdown and start up the debate over  border security policy again. On Thursday, April 23, 2026, lawmakers in Washington, DC, voted 50 to 48 to move the plan  forward. It would pay for Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).  The Department of Homeland Security has been partially shut down since mid-February,  after Democrats demanded policy changes following the fatal shootings of two protesters,  Renee Good and Alex Pretti, by federal agents in Minneapolis in January. This incident made  Democrats even more vocal in their calls for reforms and limits on enforcement powers.  Republicans, on the other hand, kept pushing for stronger border security measures. ICE, the federal agency ...

 Aaryan Bora, Political Reporter             Vanesa Zackova, Political Editor The peace talks between the United States and Iran have begun in Islamabad. Security has been tightened, and preparations are ongoing as cautious optimism spreads through diplomatic circles. With Pakistan stepping into the role of mediator and hosting these crucial discussions, expectations are high. However, a complex diplomatic choreography threatens to derail negotiations before they have fully begun. The American delegation, led by Vice President JD Vance, has indicated a willingness to engage in dialogue while warning against what Washington sees as possible diplomatic manoeuvring by Tehran. This measured tone reflects a broader reality: although both sides appear open to talks, neither seems ready to compromise on core issues. Further complicating matters is the volatile regional landscape. Israel’s ongoing confrontation with Hezbollah in Lebanon has intensified te...

Aaryan Bora, Political Reporter               Vanesa Zackova, Political Editor Over the past five years, Myanmar has been under military rule. After seizing power in a coup, the military leadership has now formally steered the country back toward civilian governance. However, this transition feels less like a genuine democratic revival and more like a carefully staged consolidation of power. When Min Aung Hlaing ousted the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi in February 2021, he promised elections within a year. That promise, however, was only partially fulfilled and only after half a decade. The newly elected parliament has now appointed him as president, following his resignation as armed forces commander, a constitutional step required before assuming civilian office. The new parliament is largely dominated by elites, with the military-backed Union Solidarity and Development Party securing nearly 80% of contested seats, alongside a quarter o...
