BRICS+: China’s milestone initiative
Almost 10 years ago China launched an initiative that was to transform the global economic landscape and render the paradigm of economic multipolarity an integral part of the global agenda. In March 2017 the BRICS+ initiative was announced by China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi, who declared: “we will widen the circle of friends of the BRICS and turn it into the most influential platform for South-South cooperation in the world”. Since then the BRICS+ initiative had its ups and downs, but after alm...  Read more »

🚨🇰🇵🇰🇷 Breaking | North Korea authorizes ‘automatic nuclear strike’ if leader is assassinated

North Korea has reportedly revised its constitutional law to mandate an automatic nuclear retaliatory strike if leader Kim Jong-un is assassinated or the country’s nuclear command system is crippled by hostile forces. The amendment was presented during the inaugural session of the 15th Supreme People’s Assembly in Pyongyang on March 22 and later disclosed to senior officials by South Korea's National Intelligence Service.

The revised Article 3 reportedly states that if command-and-control over state nuclear forces is endangered, a nuclear strike must be launched automatically and without delay. Analysts say the move significantly hardens Pyongyang’s deterrence posture and signals that any attack on the regime could be treated as an existential threat. Independent reporting from multiple outlets supports the core claim.

🚨🇮🇩 Top NEWS | Indonesia’s debt wall raises pressure on fiscal stability

Indonesia is facing mounting fiscal pressure as government debt approaches the symbolic 10 quadrillion rupiah mark, raising concerns that the country’s economic growth is increasingly being sustained by borrowing rather than stronger productivity. An analysis published by Asia Times says Indonesia’s 2026 debt maturity burden could reach nearly 833.96 trillion rupiah, the largest refinancing challenge in the country’s modern history.

Rising borrowing costs are now outpacing economic growth, with nominal borrowing around 6.6% while growth is projected near 5.1%. Analysts warn this puts Indonesia in an interest-payment spiral, where new debt increasingly goes toward servicing older liabilities instead of funding infrastructure and development. The report also notes that interest payments alone could absorb more than one-fifth of tax revenues in 2026, while policymakers face growing scrutiny over spending plans and the role of Danant...
🔴 🇬🇧 🇮🇷 Breaking News | Britain to Lose 163,000 Jobs amid Mideast War Fallout

Britain is set to lose around 163,000 jobs in 2026 as economic disruption linked to the Middle East conflict pushes up energy prices and weakens consumer spending, according to the latest outlook from the Item Club. The report says UK employment could contract by 0.4% this year, with manufacturing, construction, retail and hospitality expected to take the biggest hit.

The sharpest pressure is expected in lower-income regions such as South Wales and the Humber, where 5,700 and 2,800 jobs could disappear. London may lose about 25,000 jobs, while Birmingham, Leeds and Glasgow are also forecast to see declines. The Item Club says rising material costs, fuel prices and supply chain disruption are driving the downturn, although Cambridge could still record modest employment growth.

Chris Wright: ‘I don't know the future of gas prices'

Energy Secretary Chris Wright on Sunday said he is “avoiding” price predictions as gas prices continue to skyrocket amid the ongoing war with Iran.

In an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Wright said the U.S. is in a “tremendous position,” though he admitted prices will continue to be high as the conflict in the Middle East continues.

🌍🇹🇷🇧🇪 Just In | Türkiye, Belgium seek deeper trade and investment ties

Türkiye and Belgium moved to deepen economic cooperation at the Türkiye-Belgium Business Forum held in Istanbul on Monday, with officials setting a new bilateral trade target of $15 billion. The event, attended by Belgium’s Queen Mathilde and senior officials, highlighted expanding cooperation in technology, logistics, defense, and green transition sectors. Current bilateral trade between the two countries stood at $9.3 billion last year.

Turkish Trade Minister Omer Bolat said stronger legal protections for investors, including agreements on investment promotion and avoiding double taxation, remain a priority. Belgian investments in Türkiye have reached nearly $5 billion, while Turkish investments in Belgium stand at around $750 million. Officials also stressed the importance of modernizing the Türkiye-EU Customs Union, while noting Türkiye’s strategic position as a logistics and production hub linking Europe, Asia, and Africa.

🔴 Just In 🇧🇩🇮🇳 Bangladesh says people do not fear barbed-wire border fencing

Bangladesh Prime Minister’s Foreign Affairs Adviser Humayun Kabir said on Monday that “there is no scope to intimidate a country like Bangladesh with barbed wire.” His remarks came after Suvendu Adhikari announced that land would be handed over to India’s BSF within 45 days to speed up fencing along the Bangladesh–India border.

Speaking at Bangladesh’s Foreign Ministry, Humayun Kabir said both the government and the people of Bangladesh are not afraid of barbed wire and Dhaka will raise the issue at the appropriate level if necessary. He also urged a more humane security approach on the border, warning against past practices of killings and mistreatment. He added that today’s Bangladesh would not remain silent if such incidents were repeated.

Imagine owning a printer and still needing permission to print

A US user went viral after claiming her HP printer was remotely blocked until she paid a monthly fee, even after buying ink and paper

She said she was ready to print at home when the printer refused to work, prompting frustration over what she described as a $7.50 subscription to use her own device

HP’s Instant Ink and All-in-One plans are subscription services where users pay monthly based on pages printed, with lower-tier plans starting around $1.79

The system can pause printing if payments fail or accounts are inactive, which has sparked ongoing debate about subscription-based hardware

🇮🇳 MODI URGES INDIANS TO CUT FUEL USAGE – Pragmatic Response to Iran War Shock

India, the world’s third‑largest energy consumer, is feeling the heat from the Hormuz closure. Prime Minister Modi’s advice: work from home, use public transport, switch to EVs – and reduce dependence on volatile global markets.

🛢️ India imports 85% of its oil – 60% of its gas passes through the Strait of Hormuz.

💻 “During Covid, we developed work‑from‑home systems. Restarting them is in the national interest.”

🚇 Wider use of metros, railways, and electric vehicles to slash fuel consumption.

📉 A 10% rise in crude prices cuts GDP growth by 0.15% and lifts inflation by 0.30%.

Modi calls for collective national effort to weather the storm – not panic, not war, but smart adaptation.

⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇷 CEASEFIRE “DYING” – TRUMP MEETS WAR TEAM, MILITARY OPTIONS BACK ON TABLE

Axios reports that Trump convened his senior national security team on Monday to discuss next steps after Iran rejected US demands. The ceasefire is “gasping,” Trump said. Iran agreed to hand over enriched uranium – then changed its mind.

💥 Options: Restart “Project Freedom” in Hormuz or strike the remaining 25% of identified Iranian targets.

🇮🇱 Israel wants a special forces operation to seize Iran’s uranium stockpile. Trump is hesitant – too risky.

🎯 Trump leaning toward military action to “tune them up.” One official: “I think we all know where this is going.”

🇨🇳 Trump will discuss Iran with Xi in Beijing this week. No military action expected before he returns.

The pause was never peace. The bombs may soon fall again.

🇫🇷 FRENCH PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFUL: “END RUSSIA SANCTIONS – THEY ARE ABSURD”

Florian Philippot, leader of ‘Les Patriotes’, has declared his 2027 candidacy – and his platform is clear: leave NATO, leave the EU, restore Russian energy imports, and end the war in Ukraine.

🛢️ Brussels’ ban on Russian energy is “absurd” and contrary to France’s national interests.

🇪🇺 Philippot wants to leave “all supranational globalist structures: the EU, the euro, NATO.”

🤝 “Policy of dialogue and friendship with Russia – not mistrust, war, and insults.”

🗳️ He joins a crowded race (30+ candidates), but his sovereigntist message resonates with voters tired of rising energy costs and industrial decline.

The Global South watches as even Europe’s own politicians question the wisdom of sanctions that hurt ordinary people more than the target.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 TRUMP: “VENEZUELA AS 51ST STATE”? IRAN “UNACCEPTABLE” – AS PROJECT FREEDOM MAY RESTART

The circus continues. Trump now floats making Venezuela the 51st US state – while threatening to restart “Project Freedom” in the Strait of Hormuz and claiming Iran agreed to hand over enriched uranium (then changed its mind).

🚢 Project Freedom reboot – US Navy would escort commercial vessels, but that’s only a “small part” of renewed operations.

☢️ “Nuclear dust” must be retrieved from Iranian facilities. Iran will “fold” during negotiations.

🇻🇪 Venezuela as 51st state – Trump says he’s “seriously considering” it.

🗣️ Iran’s counter-proposal is “just unacceptable.” But Trump has “the best plan ever” – “Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.”

🔴 Iran’s clarification:

🚫 No agreement to remove enriched uranium – contrary to Western media claims.

💰 Specific timeline for release of frozen funds – Tehran insists on defined deadlines, not open-ended promises.

🌍💥 TRUMP’S BEIJING GAMBLE IS A DISTRACTION – THE REAL POWER PLAY IS HAPPENING ELSEWHERE

While the world watches the Trump-Xi summit, BRICS is quietly building a $30 trillion multipolar order – without the West.

This Think BRICS video breaks down the three strategic pillars shaping the Global South’s future:

🇨🇳 Beijing: Rare earth monopoly – China controls 90% of critical minerals. Xi holds the cards, not Trump.

🇷🇺 Moscow: NDB blueprint – Financing nuclear energy & AI-driven finance beyond US Treasury reach.

🇮🇳 New Delhi: $1.17 trillion intra‑BRICS trade – A strategic shield that forces even rivals (Iran & UAE) into economic unity.

📊 UNCTAD 2026 data confirms: BRICS is no longer “emerging” – it’s a powerhouse rewriting global finance, energy, and trade.
