IMF urges Reeves to temper debt levels to avoid triggering 'adverse market reaction'
Risks surrounding debt projections are «elevated and highly tilted to the upside» in advanced economies such as the UK, the IMF said in a pre-released chapter of its forthcoming Fiscal Monitor report. The United Nations' financial agency also identified the UK and the US as two major economies with «debt growing at a faster pace than in the pre-pandemic years» and urged both countries to act immediately.

Tired of Trudeau: Why Canadians are not willing to trust their PM
Justin Trudeau is finding it hard to convince Canadians about India's alleged link to the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Canadian citizen, in Canada last year. His latest move to brand Indian High Commissioner to Canada as a «person of interest» in the Nijjar probe comes with the same vague allegations he made against India last year. "...we started to understand through intelligence agencies that India was possibly if not probably, behind Nijjar's killing...," Trudeau said on Monday, while accusing the Indian government of supporting criminal activities in Canada. «Possibly if not probably» is same as the claim of «credible allegations» Trudeau made last year. Besides his vague allegations against India as he tries to pander to his Khalistani Sikh votes before an impending election, Trudeau has another problem: in the nine years as the Canadian PM, he has lost credibility and is widely expected to lose the next election. His desperation to throw India-Canada ties under the bus to retain support of his Khalistani vote bank seems all the more clumsy when he has landed in a political quicksand and thinks he can distract Canadians' attention from his own multi-crisis which include a coup brewing in his own caucus and corruption allegations.

Is King Charles’ power in the royal family slowly slipping? Here are early signs
King Charles' authority within the royal family is gradually diminishing. For the majority of this year, King Charles has been driven out of Clarence House every week in a car, usually, the State Bentley, to undergo cancer treatment in public, something no British monarch has ever done before, as quoted in a report by The New York Post. It has only now, eight months after this scene has unfolded, been made public that Charles has made the startling choice to cease his treatment. That is, temporarily, as he and Queen Camilla are scheduled to travel to our southern woods this week for an 11-day tour.

New allegations, old wounds: India rejects Canada’s accusations as diplomatic crisis worsens
covert operations on Canadian soil. The accusations center on the alleged involvement of Indian agents in the killing of Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, who was shot dead in British Columbia in June last year. Canadian authorities have now claimed that Indian agents are working in collaboration with criminal gangs, including the Bishnoi gang, to carry out covert operations targeting South Asian Canadians. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reiterated his government’s stance at a press conference, saying, “Canada will never tolerate the involvement of a foreign government in threatening and killing Canadian citizens on Canadian soil.” He emphasized that the findings of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) provided “clear and compelling evidence” that agents of the Indian government are engaged in activities that pose a significant threat to public safety. Trudeau detailed the evidence, stating, “This includes clandestine information gathering techniques, coercive behavior targeting South Asian Canadians, and involvement in over a dozen threatening and violent acts, including murder. This is unacceptable.”
