Welcome to WION— here are the latest major developments from around the world.
Qatar is facing mounting economic pressure from the ongoing West Asia war, with the gas-rich nation reportedly announcing 30% budget cuts for government departments and an 85% reduction in overseas aid after disruptions to its LNG production.
Meanwhile, tensions between Israel and the United States have emerged over Israeli strikes on Syrian military targets. After a US assessment described the strikes as an unnecessary escalation, Israel has pushed back, reportedly calling the assessment inaccurate.
In Iran, Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf claims several neighbouring countries have reached out to Tehran to discuss a potential new regional security order, arguing that the US has put its allies at risk.
In Europe, French President Emmanuel Macron has announced plans to provide Ukraine with additional interceptor missiles as Kyiv continues to seek stronger air-defence capabilities.
In India, NITI Aayog has raised alarm over 8.7 crore young people who are neither studying, working nor receiving training, calling for urgent subsidised training programmes and greater opportunities for self-employment.
Bangladesh faces another economic setback as the IMF reportedly stalls funding amid concerns over delays in implementing reforms in the financial sector and climate resilience, including changes involving fuel and electricity subsidies.
And in Beijing, the World Humanoid Robot Games are underway from August 22 to 26, featuring more than 30 competitions, including tug-of-war and weightlifting.
