Fear of virus, devastation of earthquake and change of power in Canada… The first week of the new year was stormy

New Delhi: Carrying old wars and old enmities, the world welcomed 2025 with the hope that the new year will bring peace. Now that a week of the new year has passed. In such a situation, a lot of upheaval was seen all over the world in this past week. The year started with an attack in America. Amidst pressure, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau resigned from the post. Fear of HPMV virus was also seen in China and India, tension reached its peak due to the conflict between Afghanistan and Pakistan, many people lost their lives in the strong earthquake on the Nepal and Tibet border.

The new year started with a terrorist attack in America. People celebrating New Year in New Orleans were crushed by a high-speed pickup van. More than 15 people died in this incident. After crushing the crowd, the attacker also fired bullets but he was killed in retaliatory action by the police. The attacker was identified as Shamsuddin Jabbar of Texas, who was influenced by the terrorist organization ISIS and had carried out this incident after careful consideration. Within a few hours of this attack, there was a blast in Tesla’s cyber truck outside Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, in which seven people including the driver died. Billionaire businessman Elon Musk, who holds an important responsibility in Trump’s upcoming team, had suspected a deep conspiracy in this incident due to the connection between Trump’s hotel and Tesla’s cyber truck. This past week, Canada and Justin Trudeau were in the news the most.

On the one hand, Donald Trump kept making continuous statements about Canada. He is claiming to make Canada the 51st state of America. For this, sometimes he targeted Trudeau and sometimes made such statements which increased the political temperature. Amidst all this, Trudeau, who was facing pressure on the domestic front, resigned from the post of Prime Minister, but he will remain on this post as the acting PM until he is elected as the leader of the Liberal Party. After Canada, the biggest global headline-grabber last week was the conflict between Afghanistan and Pakistan. The Afghan Taliban has become a thorn in the flesh for the Pakistani army. The fire that has been raging between Pakistan and Afghanistan for some time now has taken a monstrous form. The tension that began with the airstrike by Pakistan on Afghanistan is now increasing. Afghan Taliban fighters crossed the Durand Line and targeted Pakistani army posts. Shells were fired on the posts.

After bearing the brunt of the Corona virus, the HPMV virus is currently a challenge for China and India. The reports coming from China show that the situation there does not seem normal at all. Hospitals are filled with patients. At the same time, seven cases of HPMV have been reported in India so far. The first case of this virus in the country was reported in Bengaluru. After Bengaluru, the virus was confirmed in newborn babies in Gujarat and Maharashtra as well. The central government issued a statement saying that this virus is not new. This is a common virus, so there is no need to panic about it. However, the government has issued necessary guidelines regarding this.

At the end of the first week of the new year, many countries were shaken by earthquakes. Earthquake tremors were felt in Nepal, Tibet and India as well as some parts of Bhutan. According to the latest data, the most devastation due to the earthquake has occurred in Tibet. So far more than 120 people have died due to the earthquake while many people are injured. Many buildings have also been damaged.
