Rishi Sunak becomes the first Indian-origin PM of the United Kingdom

Rishi Sunak wins the Conservative Party leadership race and is set to become the next UK PM. The development follows weeks of turmoil; Sunak will be the third British premier in two months after Boris Johnson and Liz Truss resigned.

Rishi Sunak was the only person formally nominated to become the Conservative leader, meaning the planned week-long contest no longer needed to continue. Instead, Sunak will spend Monday preparing to take over at Downing Street. That will happen after outgoing Prime Minister Liz Truss visits King Charles III to formally resign. Charles will accept her resignation, and then welcome Sunak for a meeting and ask him to form a government.

Truss, who replaced Boris Johnson, lasted 44 days in the job to Sunak: ‘You have my full support’, said in her tweet.

“Congratulations @RishiSunak on being appointed as Leader of the Conservative Party and our next Prime Minister,” Truss said on Twitter. “You have my full support.”

Labour MP says in a tweet that Sunak has ‘no mandate, no answers and no ideas’

Opposition Labour Party MP Angela Rayner has questioned Sunak’s appointment as the Conservative Party’s new leader, saying he has “no mandate, no answers, and no ideas”, and called for the public to have their say at a general election.

“The Tories have crowned Rishi Sunak without him saying a word about what he would do as PM,” Rayner, Labour’s deputy leader, tweeted.

“He has no mandate, no answers and no ideas. Nobody voted for this. The public deserve their say on Britain’s future through a General Election. It’s time for a fresh start with Labour.”

Rishi Sunak becoming the PM of the United Kingdom is quite big news all over the world. From experienced politicians to the general public, everyone has different perspectives.

Pakistan’s election commission has debarred ex-PM Imran Khan from holding public office.


In a unanimous decision, Pakistan’s election commission (ECP) has found former Prime Minister Imran Khan accused of “corrupt practices” and proved him ineligible to be a member of parliament.


Ex-PM Pakistan Mr. Imran Khan had been suspected of incorrectly declaring particulars of presents from foreign dignitaries and takings from their alleged sale. The gifts comprised Rolex watches, a ring, and a pair of cuff links. His lawyers stated they would encounter the commission’s decision in the high court.

Imran Khan called on his followers to protest against the Friday decision, saying that vital rights and democracy had been suppressed in Pakistan. Videos on social media displayed police firing tear gas to scatter his supporters holding a dissent outside the capital Islamabad. Security in the city has been trodden up. Hours later, He asked people to close their protest.

As a result of the disqualification, he “ceases to be a member of the National Assembly of Pakistan, and his seat has become vacant accordingly,” the ruling adds. Mr. Khan has been disqualified till the end of the current National Assembly term, which started in 2018.

Despite being disqualified, Imran Khan remains hugely popular among the nation. Currently, Pakistanis are questioning these decisions aggressively and might also take action. The unanimous conclusion by a five-member panel of the election commission is a huge hindrance to the whole judiciary system of Pakistan.

Mr. Khan confessed last month to have sold at least four gifts he had received in his tenure as prime minister and that they had been counted in his income tax returns. Government officials must declare all contributions but are permissible to keep those below a specific value.

The former Prime Minister of Pakistan has ultimately denied the charges in contrast to him. Formerly, he had not publicly displayed some gifts on national security grounds. Still, in a written suggestion, he admitted buying items valued at nearly $100,000 (£90,000) and selling them for more than double that amount.

Scientists urge to raise awareness against plastic consumption after observation of microplastics in mothers’ milk

mother and infant health

In a recent study, Scientists find microplastics in 75% of 34 samples from new mothers. The presence of plastic in the environment remains a significant health concern. The health departments of the world need to focus on raising awareness about plastic use.


The Guardian reported that microplastic particles had been found in mother’s milk for the first time in history, leaving researchers and scientists concerned about the potential impact on the babies’ health.
The shocking discovery was made when human milk samples —collected from 34 healthy mothers within a week after childbirth in Rome, Italy — underwent a scan. Microplastics were detected in 75% of the pieces.

The presence of plastic in the environment remains a significant concern due to the harmful effects of the chemicals it contains, as the habitants of the ecosystem continue to bear the consequences of environmental pollution.

Previous research has shown the toxic effects of microplastics in human cell lines, lab animals, and marine wildlife, but the impact on living humans is still undiscovered.

As per the publication, the researchers considered the mothers’ consumption of food and drink packed in plastic and the use of personal hygiene products containing plastic but found no correlation with microplastics in breast milk.

The research suggested that microplastics are omnipresent in the environment, which “makes human exposure inevitable.”

“It will be crucial to assess ways to reduce exposure to these contaminants during pregnancy and lactation,” said Dr. Valentina Notarstefano. She led the study at the Universita Politecnica Delle Marche in Italy.

However, scientists stress the need to dig deeper into the reasons behind the presence of microplastics, as breastfeeding is by far the most healthy form of infant nutrition.

Study Shows Rich People Live a Longer Life Than Poor People

A new revolutionary study might have finally answered the question of whether money can buy happiness or not.

Study Shows Rich People Live a Longer Life Than Poor People

A team of researchers from the National Centre of Epidemiology of the ISCIII, the Biosanitary Research Institute of Granada, the University of Granada, and the Andalusian School of Public Health conducted an extensive study and found that richer people lived longer than poorer ones.

Scientists from several groups within the Epidemiology and Public Health Area (CIBERESP) of the Networking Biomedical Research Centre (CIBER-ISCIII) reported that results showed people from lower socioeconomic backgrounds lived three to four years less than wealthier people.

The authors studied “life tables” and believe the findings can guide many other research studies. For example, people studying terminal illnesses like cancer can benefit from this data.

The team who published their work in Scientific Reports found a significant relationship between financial levels and the life expectancy of people living in Spain.

Individuals who lived in the poorest areas lived less than individuals who lived in well-off and rich areas of the country.

Researchers also found that women live longer than men in Spain.

“Understanding the association between life expectancy and socioeconomic status could help in developing appropriate public health programs,” said researcher Daniel Redondo.

A study reveals that India uploads more than 55% of Islamophobic content on Twitter

Islamic Council of Victoria (ICV) initiated a study on Islamophobia, showing that the most anti-Muslim content on Twitter is from India. Although the country has the most Muslim population, it contributes more than 55% of Islamophobic content on social media platforms. It can be said how miserable Muslims have been living there. The biggest example of this is brutality happening to Kashmiris.


The ICV is a Muslim organization founded in Australia representing 270,000 community members, which discovered that Indian Twitter generates 55.12% of Islamophobic content. The other 45% comes from USA and UK. All this content is not only creating false assumptions about Islam in front of the world But also scaring them from communicating with Muslims, ultimately making the lives of Muslims miserable in non-Muslim countries.

The study found that politicians’ comments can have a “considerable impact on the prevalence of Islamophobia”. Three countries seemed to post 86% of the anti-Muslim notes on microblogging mediums.

While the UN cautioned last year that Islamophobia has stretched “epidemic proportions” and invigorated the international communalist to fight the anti-Muslim hatred. Social media platforms have policies that don’t support hateful comments. That’s why mediums like Twitter have been taking down most of the ant Islam content for years. But as this process is done through automatic programming, the content is still available.

The ICV found nearly four million anti-Muslim posts made throughout this period, and only 14.83% of the hate content vanished. The study presented that content came largely from the UK, the US, and India, all from 2017-2019.

India-based social media users held responsible Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for the blowout and augmentation of discrimination and hatred, according to TRT World.
The study also records that former US president Donald Trump showed up in anti-Muslim posts rather frequently (third-most). The UK’s Islamophobia is also not restricted to social media with unintended remarks from previous Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who associated niqab-wearing Muslim women with “letter boxes” being common.

Social media platforms are the public’s voice. Using them against a sect of the world is highly unethical, hurting the sentiments of people around the globe. All these platforms must furnish strict policies and tactics to handle this event. A reported 55% of users must get suspended from Twitter to create a healthy environment for everyone on this platform.
