As Saudi Arabia stands as the sole contender to host the 2034 FIFA World Cup, a fresh report by Amnesty International reveals that hosting the event may pose severe human rights risks. Citing the Sport and Rights Alliance (SRA), Amnesty International evaluated the impacts of the World Cup and warned of grave risks regarding the exploitation of migrant workers.
Amnesty International’s Steve Cockburn commented that “Awarding the World Cup to Saudi Arabia without firm commitments to reform poses a predictable human cost.” The report drew attention to whether Saudi Arabia would meet FIFA’s human rights standards and urged the organization to secure protections for labor and migrant rights.

As the green light of the historic Disney Star and Reliance Industries merger, a website designated as Jiostar.com has come on live, and speculation is building that this could perhaps be a new OTT platform in the works.

The deal is expected to close in Q3 FY 2024-25, giving Reliance the 60% majority, and Disney will hold 37%.

A Pakistani TikToker, Imsha Rehman, has taken the extreme step of deactivating all her social media accounts following the leakage of sex scandal videos which circulated her on social media with explicit videos of Rehman apparently getting filmed when she is apparently caught at some private moment.
This incident, again, raises the crisis of privacy breach of digital content creators, and Rehman seems to express her dissatisfaction at the massive backlash towards her. While people ask for empathy, screenshots of the leaked footage keep coming up, concerning yet more about digital privacy and online bullying. It is not too long ago that another TikTok celebrity was embroiled in a similar controversy when Minahil Malik was caught in a whirlwind of criticism.
Indian-origin politician Vivek Ramaswamy has recently opened up about his family’s immigration history and talked about his father who owns an Indian passport though he has stayed in the U.S. for nearly four decades.

During the campaign, Ramaswamy emphasized the importance of understanding American civics. He suggested that high school students take the same citizenship test required of immigrants.

Pranav stays devoted to acting but choosier about roles and looks forward to taking up projects which deeply resonate with him.
