All 24 Indian Seafarers Safe After Tanker Fire Off Oman, Triggered by US Strike

The All India Trinamool Congress, built largely on Mamata Banerjee’s personal magnetism and state patronage, is fracturing after the BJP’s sweep in 2026. Within weeks of the election, most of the TMC’s legislators rebelled, seized the legislative wing, and began signing to the ruling coalition. Political scientists warn that the party’s lack of a resilient ideological core and overreliance on Banerjee’s brand leave it vulnerable when power drains. Banerjee remains defiant, calling the BJP victory illegal, yet critics argue that a revival will require deep institutional renewal. The outcome of the split could reshape not only West Bengal’s politics but also regional parties across India.

Sam Bankman‑Fried, founder of the collapsed crypto exchange FTX, has applied for a presidential pardon after being sentenced to 25 years for fraud and related charges. He has yet to request a commutation, only hoping for forgiveness once his jail term ends. The appeal of his sentence continues, but the pardon request coincides with over 20,000 other petitions to the Justice Department. President Trump has granted pardons to a wide range of figures—including some involved in the January 6 Capitol attack—but he previously denied Bankman‑Fried a pardon. The outcome will determine whether the former crypto king will be legally absolved of his convictions.

Armenia’s general election on 4 June gave Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s Civil Contract Party a decisive 49.8% of the vote, granting the country a stronger mandate to pursue Western‑aligned policies. The result comes just weeks after a crushing defeat by Azerbaijan, placing regional security and future economic ties at a crossroads. Russia’s foreign ministry accused the contest of “unprecedented pressure” on opposition parties and threatened a new embargo, but Armenia maintained its independence in a European‑context. In the capital, ordinary voters moved through the day in calm normalcy –  Justice and hope for national prosperity and peace – while paying attention to the new trajectory ahead.
