Pakistani Foreign Minister engages in discussions with Bangladeshi officials during significant visit | Politics News

Pakistan and Bangladesh are expected to sign several agreements, including on trade as the two nations move closer.

Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar has held talks with top Bangladeshi officials and politicians, including the foreign affairs adviser, Touhid Hossain, as the two South Asian nations aim to reset relations amid Dhaka’s fraying ties with India.

Dar flew to Bangladesh on Saturday, the most senior Pakistani official to visit Dhaka since 2012, with Islamabad calling it “historic” and a “significant milestone in Pakistan-Bangladesh relations”.

Relations between Dhaka and Islamabad have been easing since a mass uprising in Bangladesh ousted Sheikh Hasina as prime minister last August, prompting her to flee to New Delhi. Hasina was considered more pro-India.

Dar’s visit comes days after the two nations reportedly eased visa restrictions for travel between them.

Pakistan and Bangladesh are expected to sign several agreements, including on trade, on Sunday. The two countries began sea trade last year, expanding government-to-government commerce in February.

“The two sides discussed ways to promote economic and commercial cooperation, with a special focus on enhancing trade and promoting connectivity,” Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on X after Dar and Commerce Minister Jam Kamal Khan met Bangladesh’s commerce adviser, Sheikh Bashiruddin, on Sunday morning.

There are also plans to begin direct Dhaka-Karachi flights, with local carriers seeking approvals, Bangladeshi newspaper The Daily Star reported.

Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry said Dar will also meet Bangladesh’s interim leader, Muhammad Yunus.

Addressing a news conference at the Pakistani High Commission in Dhaka on Saturday, Dar underscored his country’s “strong desire to forge a cooperative and forward-looking relationship with Bangladesh”.

‘Active and stronger’

The top Pakistani diplomat also met Bangladeshi political delegates, including those from the Jamaat-e-Islami party, which opposed the breakup of Pakistan to establish Bangladesh in 1971.

“We discussed how to further enhance relations with the brotherly Muslim state [Pakistan] in the coming days and how to make the regional alliance [South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation] more active and stronger,” Jamaat-e-Islami’s deputy leader Syed Abdullah Muhammad Taher, told reporters after the meeting.

Dar also met leaders of the newly formed National Citizen Party (NCP), which led last year’s uprising, as well as the leadership of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP).

On Friday, top military commanders from both countries met in Pakistan.

A day earlier, Pakistani Minister Khan held talks in Dhaka, where he agreed to set up joint commissions to boost trade and investment.

Pakistan’s military was accused of widespread atrocities during the 1971 war, when East Pakistan broke away to form Bangladesh. Hundreds of thousands were killed – Bangladeshi estimates say millions – and many in Dhaka still demand Islamabad apologise for the killings.

After 1971, Bangladesh leaned heavily on India, which almost encircles the country of 170 million people.

However, Yunus has demanded that India hand back Hasina, who continues to refuse to attend her trial on charges amounting to crimes against humanity.

Dhaka accused India this month of backing Hasina’s now-outlawed Awami League party, charges that New Delhi rejected, saying it “does not allow political activities against other countries to be carried out” from its soil.

Preventing Inbreeding in Male Animal Populations

A male killer whale at a closed marine zoo is being sexually stimulated by his trainers to stop him inbreeding with his mother.

Marineland Antibes shut in January but managers, the French government and animal rights activists have not agreed on where or how the orcas should be rehomed.

The closure comes ahead of a French law taking effect in December, which bans the use of whales in marine zoo shows.

The impasse means the pair – Wikie, 24, and her 11-year-old son Keijo – are still being kept in their pools and being cared for by their trainers at the facility in southern France.

Last week the activist group TideBreakers obtained overhead footage showing two trainers standing at the edge of a pool next to Keijo as he lies upside down.

One trainer holds on to a flipper as the other stimulates the whale, who can be seen writhing about in the water.

Wikie can be seen in an adjacent pool facing towards where her son is being held. Keeping them in separate pools permanently is considered harmful to their wellbeing as orcas are sociable animals.

The footage was taken on 12 August and managers at Marineland tell BBC News the action was necessary as Keijo is reaching adolescence and has increasingly strong sexual urges.

Marineland trainers stimulate male orca Keijo as his mother Wikie is kept in an adjacent pool

“In order to avoid inbreeding with his mother, but also to prevent them from fighting and injuring each other, Marineland decided to sexually stimulate Keijo [to relieve him of his] tensions.”

Managers add: “Although spectacular, this is natural and totally painless for the animals.”

The French ecology ministry, which must approve where the orcas are rehomed, say they were informed by Marineland that Keijo is being stimulated once a month and that a veterinary expert has been consulted about the process.

Valerie Greene, a member of TideBreakers who worked at SeaWorld Orlando for a decade, tells us the stimulation of Keijo for sexual relief is unusual.

“As a former killer whale trainer, I’ve never seen this behaviour performed for anything other than attempting semen collection for use in artificial insemination.”

Female orcas kept captive in marine zoos can be artificially inseminated to breed more calves, which can later be used to attract more visitors and perform in shows.

This was quite common until the last decade when laws were passed in countries, including France and the US, banning several breeding practices.

However, breeding laws in Japan are less strict and activists believe marine zoo managers there may be interested in purchasing orca semen after the country’s only male orca, Earth, died on 3 August.

‘Perverse new low’

Just over a week after his death, Marineland’s trainers were seen stimulating Keijo.

Greene adds: “Keijo is inbred, so it’s even more concerning that his semen might be used for breeding of captive orcas.” Keijo’s mother and father are half-siblings.

Managers at Marineland deny this was why Keijo was stimulated. They add the sale of semen is prohibited and any export would need authorisation from the French government.

The French ecology ministry say Marineland have also told them there is no intention to collect and export orca semen for breeding purposes.

“Regardless of the reasoning, it’s sad that this is a priority when Keijo desperately needs to be rescued because his environment is unsafe,” says Greene.

“The notion that trainers are providing sexual relief to an orca… is a perverse new low in the captivity industry’s morally bankrupt practices.”

How did we get here?

  • November 2024: Ecology minister Agnès Pannier-Runacher rejects an application from Marineland to move the orcas to a marine zoo in Japan.
  • January 2025: Marineland Antibes holds its last show before closing down. Activist groups call for the orcas to be moved to a proposed whale sanctuary in Canada, but this is rejected by the ecology ministry.

Marineland has been shut since January ahead of a law banning the use of orcas in marine zoo shows

Since then there have been no significant developments as to where the pair might end up and no European sanctuary site has been developed for them.

There have also been mounting concerns about the conditions at Marineland and whether it is safe for Wikie and Keijo to remain there.

Two weeks ago Pannier-Runacher released another Instagram video in which she tried to allay fears about the orcas’ welfare and said regular inspections of the pools were taking place.

Katheryn Wise, wildlife campaign manager at the charity World Animal Protection, who has been monitoring the situation, tells us: “It is fair to say that the passivity of the French government when it comes to enabling alternatives for these animals, and communicating with organisations involved in developing professional sanctuary alternatives, is insufficient and is leading to unnecessary delays [in rehoming them].”

Rehoming animals after the closure of a zoo is often difficult, particularly for larger animals which require bigger facilities and higher levels of care.

When Living Coasts, a marine zoo in Devon, announced its closure in 2020, managers warned they might have to euthanise animals for whom they could not find new homes. Eventually places were found for all of them.

After Orsa Predator Park in Sweden shut in 2022, some of their polar bears did not find new homes until the following year. Two of the bears were transported to Suffolk but one died shortly after arriving.

Following a request by a French court, an expert assessment is being carried out of Marineland’s facilities and whether the orcas, and a dozen dolphins also still housed there, should be moved.

The French ecology ministry told us: “A task force set up by the ministry is working, under the aegis of the environment ambassador Barbara Pompili, to define a coordinated strategy at the European level for the care of orcas and dolphins, particularly those at Marineland.”

For Marketa Schusterova, a videographer who co-founded TideBreakers, the situation for Wikie and Keijo is bleak.

She says: “We have been advocating for a temporary tank to be built and expedited until a sanctuary is ready, but we’re worried that we are past that point. Time is running out.”

Russia-Ukraine conflict: Recap of major events on day 1,277 | Latest updates on Russia-Ukraine war

Here are the key events on day 1,277 of Russia’s war on Ukraine.

Here is how things stand on Sunday, August 24:

Fighting

  • Russian forces launched a drone attack on a minibus in Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk region, killing a 59-year-old man and wounding five others, according to a Ukrainian official.
  • A wave of Russian attacks on Ukraine’s Kherson also killed a 69-year-old man, wounded 17 people, and damaged a school and an administrative building in one district, local officials said.
  • Russian forces launched 448 attacks on 17 settlements in Ukraine’s Zaporizhia region in a single day, according to Ivan Fedorov, the head of the Zaporizhia Regional Military Administration.
  • Russia’s Ministry of Defence claimed its troops have taken control of two more settlements – Seredne and Kleban-Byk – along the 1,000km (620-mile) front line in the Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine, while the Ukrainian military said its forces had recaptured a settlement further west, on the edge of the Dnipropetrovsk region.
  • In Russia, a Ukrainian drone attack sparked a fire at the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant, damaged an auxiliary transformer and led to reduction in the operating capacity at one of the plant’s units, officials said early on Sunday.
  • Earlier, one person was killed and another injured when they drove over an explosive device dropped by a Ukrainian drone in the village of Kirillovka in the Bryansk region, the local governor said.
  • Another Russian civilian was killed in a targeted Ukrainian drone attack in the Krasnoyarsk district of Russia’s Belgorod region, an official said.
  • Russian forces also shot down a drone flying towards the Russian capital, Moscow, and intercepted 160 drones and four guided aerial bombs in a 24-hour period, the TASS news agency reported, citing officials.
  • The drone barrage forced several airports in central Russia to suspend operations because of concerns over safe airspace, Russia’s air transport agency Rosaviatsia said. 

Politics and diplomacy

  • Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on countries in the Global South to support diplomatic efforts to push Russia to agree to end its war with Ukraine, following talks with his South African counterpart, Cyril Ramaphosa.
  • Zelenskyy announced new Ukrainian sanctions against 139 individuals and legal entities working for Russia’s war, as well as “28 citizens of different countries, who are equally helping the Russians in maintaining the occupation regime on our land and effectively sponsoring the Russian state”.
  • The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported that the Pentagon has been quietly blocking Ukraine from launching long-range missile attacks on Russia, as the White House tries to get Moscow to agree to peace talks. Al Jazeera could not independently verify the WSJ report, which cited unnamed US officials.

Banks should use AI to expand services to all customers and create a more inclusive financial system

Banks should use AI to expand services to all customers and create a more inclusive financial system

Artificial intelligence is no longer just a buzzword thrown around in the boardroom. This technology now powers modern finance, shaping how money moves and how decisions are made. Through rapid trading, personalized wealth management, algorithmic credit scoring, and automated back-office functions, AI is helping financial institutions reduce costs and deliver greater value to their clients.

Yet these benefits will primarily help those that already have access to a bank—and not the more than one billion that still lack access to formal financial systems. A staggering $5.2 trillion credit gap prevents small businesses in emerging markets from growing. Financial inclusion is stubbornly out of reach for these business and individuals.

AI, combined with Web 3.0 technologies, could expand access to unbanked and underbanked populations, but only if it’s not treated as an afterthought. Financial institutions must harness AI, develop advanced methods to determine consumers’ intent to repay loans, and use alternative datasets to unlock collateral-free credit for those most in need. Collaboration, not disruption, is the way forward.

In Kenya, Indonesia, and Brazil, startups are utilizing alternative datasets, such as mobile usage and merchant transactions, to deliver microloans and insurance to last-mile customers overlooked by traditional banks. In India, multilingual AI chatbots are already breaking down language barriers. In Latin America, fintech platforms have leveraged AI to reach millions of customers, making financial services accessible at scale.

But financial exclusion won’t be eliminated by just another app. Instead, policymakers need to create inclusion frameworks that embed equity and access directly into the financial system.

This requires building global infrastructure where inclusion is the norm, not the exception. For example, the UPI-PayNow bridge between India and Singapore is a real-time payments corridor allowing instant transfers with just a mobile number. But this bridge wasn’t built overnight; it’s the result of years of policy coordination, regulatory alignment, and public-private trust.

Furthermore, in banking, collateral remains the cornerstone of traditional lending: If you want a loan, you must pledge an asset. This approach excludes low-income individuals—millions without property or savings—from accessing formal credit.

While banks use AI mainly for efficiency today, the real potential lies elsewhere. Banks could develop strong behavioral data models using AI, serving as proxies for collateral and indicators of creditworthiness, thereby opening access for those left behind.

Lasting change in any sector requires sustained collective action, not just individual brilliance. Disruptive breakthroughs spark innovation, but when multiple stakeholders work together toward common goals, they can overcome resistance, manage complexities, ensure everyone’s input, and keep up momentum to make progress resilient and deeply rooted.

In finance, AI can have unintended consequences due to opaque algorithms, biases that reinforce risks, and systems that are hard to understand. For AI to promote inclusion, it must be transparent and understandable to regulators. Institutions that use such AI need to be accountable. This involves rigorous bias testing, built-in human oversight, and clear channels for appealing major decisions. Trust is essential: Without it, liquidity dries up, credit markets freeze, and economic growth slows.

As the world enters a new technological age, AI, digital token networks, and quantum information systems are poised to transform global financial inclusion. AI will redefine financial services. Digital token networks will enable borderless, low-cost transactions through asset tokenization, eliminating the need for traditional infrastructure. And quantum information systems will enhance cybersecurity and streamline digital identification, payments, and smart contracts.

Together, these technologies will build a trustworthy financial infrastructure, providing everyone, regardless of location, literacy, or economic status, with safe and affordable access to the global economy.

By embedding inclusion into our financial infrastructure, we’ll have another opportunity to create a system that meets the needs of the world’s eight billion people.

State media reports North Korean leader supervises latest missile test

State media reports North Korean leader supervises latest missile test

North Korean state media has said two new air defence missiles have been fired in a test overseen by the country’s leader Kim Jong Un.

The weapons had “superior combat capability” and used a “unique technology”, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said, without adding details.

The launches, carried out on Saturday, “proved that the technological features of two types of projectiles are very suitable for destroying various aerial targets” including drones and cruise missiles, KCNA said.

The test comes hours after South Korea confirmed it fired warning shots on Tuesday at North Korean soldiers who briefly crossed the Demilitarised Zone (DMZ) separating the countries.

United Nations Command said about 30 North Korean troops crossed the heavily-fortified border between the north and south, Yonhap News Agency said.

Pyongyang responded by accusing Seoul of a “deliberate provocation”.

South Korea and the United States have been conducting large-scale joint military exercises in the region since Monday.

US President Donald Trump is due to meet South Korea’s President Lee Jae Myung at a summit on Monday in Washington.

The newly-elected South Korean president had campaigned on improving inter-Korean ties.

However, Kim’s sister has since rebuffed efforts towards reconciliation made by Lee’s government.

Kim also earlier this month condemned the US and South Korea’s joint military drills, describing them as “most hostile and confrontational”.

The North Korean leader vowed to speed up his aim to increase the country’s stash of nuclear weapons.

In January, North Korea claimed to fire a new intermediate-range ballistic missile tipped with a hypersonic warhead, which it said “will reliably contain any rivals in the Pacific region”.

Senior South Korean officials have raised concerns about North Korea receiving Russian missile technology in exchange for sending troops to back the Russian aggression against Ukraine.

Shin Wonsik, national security adviser for former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, said last year that Seoul had found Moscow provided missiles and other equipment to help reinforce the air defense network for Pyongyang, the capital.

Whether the latest missiles fired by North Korea involved any Russian technology was unclear.

North Korea is one of the world’s most repressive totalitarian states, with Kim and his family ruling the hermit nation for decades.

South and North Korea have been divided since the Korean War ended in 1953.

They did not sign a peace treaty and therefore have remained technically still at war ever since, although it has been years since either side shelled the other.

Government minister says Spotify will open Istanbul office by 2026 after reversing decision to exit Turkey

Government minister says Spotify will open Istanbul office by 2026 after reversing decision to exit Turkey

Spotify will remain in Turkey and establish an Istanbul office by 2026, ending weeks of speculation about a potential exit from the market amid government pressure.

The resolution, announced by Turkey’s Culture and Tourism Minister Mehmet Nuri Ersoy via social media on Tuesday (August 19), emerged from meetings between Spotify executives and Turkish officials.

“In our meeting with Spotify, a pioneer in the global music industry, we made decisions on important steps. We will make concrete progress quickly to ensure our country’s music ecosystem receives the support it deserves from Spotify,” the minister’s translated post stated.

The minister added: “A Spotify Turkey office, a key area of ​​need, is opening. Spotify, which will open an office in Istanbul in 2026, will further deepen its collaborations in this area.”

Ersoy added that the company will work with the government in supporting Turkey’s music ecosystem and launching a music summit in September. The minister noted that Turkish artists reached 2.8 billion new listeners in 2024.

“A Spotify Turkey office, a key area of ​​need, is opening. Spotify, which will open an office in Istanbul in 2026, will further deepen its collaborations in this area.”

Mehmet Nuri Ersoy, Turkish Minister

The announcement follows weeks of escalating tensions that began when Turkey’s competition authority launched an investigation into Spotify’s business practices on July 4.

The probe is looking into whether Spotify violated Turkish law through practices that “complicate the operations of its rivals” and affect royalty distribution for artists and creators.

Turkish officials also accused Spotify of hosting content that insults religious and national values.

Deputy Culture and Tourism Minister Batuhan Mumcu  criticized playlist titles referencing President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan‘s wife, Emine Erdoğan, including “Emine Erdogan hotgirl playlist” and references to luxury fixtures in the presidential palace.

Other controversial playlists included “Songs Prophet Muhammad listened to in the cave,” which drew particular criticism from government officials. Mumcu also criticized Spotify for allegedly promoting content with violence and substance use while failing to support Turkish folk and Arabesque music genres.

The dispute escalated last month when The Times (UK) reported that Spotify was considering withdrawing from Turkey entirely. The newspaper cited sources as saying that the company was considering all options, including “pausing its operations in the market or exiting Turkey altogether.”

Such a move would affect both Spotify and Turkish music industry.

As MBW previously reported, data from Spotify suggests that the share of its streams by local artists in Turkey rose from 11% in 2013 to 65% in 2025, while the number of Turkish artists in Spotify’s yearly top 100 grew from 11 in 2013 to 93 in 2024,

Minister Ersoy said: “We will continue to work closely with the Spotify team on [the music summit] and similar initiatives that will showcase Turkey’s rich musical heritage and culture to the world.”

The latest development comes as Spotify recently announced price hikes in numerous markets outside the US including South Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Latin America and the Asia-Pacific region.

Nigeria claims to have eliminated 35 fighters in airstrikes close to the Cameroon border | Conflict Updates

Strikes are latest by the Nigerian military as it battles resurgence of attacks by armed groups in country’s northeast.

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) says it has killed at least 35 armed fighters in air strikes near the country’s border with Cameroon, following intelligence that an attack on ground troops was being planned.

The strikes were launched on Saturday on four targets in the Kumshe area in Borno State, near the Nigeria-Cameroon border, said NAF spokesperson Ehimen Ejodame.

“Following the operation, communication was re-established with ground troops, who confirmed that the situation around their location had been stabilised,” he said.

The strikes are the latest by the Nigerian military as it battles a resurgence of attacks in the country’s embattled northeast.

The region faces frequent attacks from Boko Haram and its rival splinter group, ISIL (ISIS) West Africa Province (ISWAP).

Both ISWAP and Boko Haram have recently ramped up their assaults on the military in northeastern Nigeria, which, in addition to Cameroon, also borders Chad and Niger. Armed fighters have overrun military bases, killing soldiers and seizing weapons.

While Nigeria’s 16-year-old armed conflict has slowed since violence peaked around 2015, attacks have picked up since the beginning of the year.

According to the United Nations, the conflict has killed more than 35,000 civilians and forced more than 2 million people to flee their homes.

Last week, the US State Department approved the sale of $346m in weapons, including bombs, rockets and munitions, to Nigeria, subject to approval by Congress.

The weapons would “improve Nigeria’s capability to meet current and future threats through operations against terrorist organizations”, the department said.

Australia Secures First Medal at World Juniors to Enter Medal Standings on Day 5

By Charlotte Wells on SwimSwam

2025 World Junior Swimming Championships

After being notably absent from the medal table for the first four days of the 2025 World Junior Championships, Australia made its first appearance on the podium with a gold medal-winning performance on day 5.

Bringing home the first piece of hardware for her country was Ainsley Trotter, who won the girls’ 50 back. The Australian swimmer was the only one in the field to break 28 seconds, blasting into the wall just ahead of Korea’s Kim Seungwon, who broke the Championship Record earlier in the meet.

Turning in another notable performance for his country was Abdul Jabar Adama of Nigeria, who took home silver in the boys’ 50 fly. The 17-year-old made history on Saturday night, as he became the first swimmer, male or female, from his nation to win a medal at a World Aquatics meet.

Japan bumped itself back up to 5th on the medal table thanks to a 1-2 performance in the boys’ 400 IM. Raito Numata and Yumeki Kojima claimed gold and silver, respectively, marking their nation’s second gold medal of the meet and bringing its total tally to 14 medals.

Familiar names continued to make headlines and bring home the medals for their countries. China’s Yang Peiqi won her third individual gold of the meet, giving her nation four total gold medals through day 5.

Team USA only picked up one medal during the fifth finals session, but they did it in record-breaking fashion. The Americans crushed the World Junior Record in the girls’ 4×100 free relay, thanks to the team of Rylee Erisman, Liberty Clark, Julie Mishler and Lily King, bringing the nation’s gold medal count up to eight.
