China is prepared to increase cooperation with Mongolia and Russia.

Reuters, Beijing, October 16 At a meeting with his neighbors on the sidelines of a Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit on Wednesday, China's Premier Li Qiang suggested further three-way relations with Russia and Mongolia, according to official media.In recent years, the three have become closer. This year, China and Mongolia both threw open their arms to Russian President Vladimir Putin, just as Moscow did for China's Xi Jinping in 2023, and Beijing did the same for Mongolia's president.According to the official news agency Xinhua, Li, China's second-ranking official, stated that "China is ready to work with Russia and Mongolia to further enhance mutual trust, strengthen coordination and promote deeper... trilateral co-operation."He was addressing L. Oyun-Erdene, the prime minister of Mongolia, and Mikhail Mishustin, the prime minister of Russia.Since 2004, Mongolia has opted to remain an observer state and is not a member of the SCO, a China-led Eurasian security bloc. Nevertheless, China is still gently pressuring its smaller neighbor to join the ten-nation bloc. Officials from the United States are also pursuing the resource-rich, landlocked nation, which has pledged to invest in its heavy industry and mining. However, Washington criticized Ulaanbaatar for hosting Putin in September despite the International Criminal Court in The Hague issuing an arrest order for him. If the Russian president enters any of the 124 nations that make up the court's membership, including Mongolia, he is often required by such a warrant to be arrested and taken to the Hague for trial.A large pipeline that Russia intends to construct to transport 50 billion cubic meters of natural gas annually from the Yamal area to China passes through Mongolia. Li told Mishustin in a separate meeting that China was open to deepening its energy and commerce relations with Russia, according to Chinese state media.

As geopolitical ties worsen, the role of nuclear weapons increases the new SIPRI Yearbook is now available.

Global nuclear arsenals are getting stronger The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea), the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, France, China, India, Pakistan, and Israel are the nine nuclear-armed states. All nine of these states have been updating their nuclear arsenals, and several of them will be deploying new nuclear-armed or nuclear-capable weapon systems in 2023.About 9585 of the estimated 12,121 warheads in the world's inventory as of January 2024 were held in military stocks for possible deployment (see the table below). Sixty-nine of those warheads were in central storage, leaving an estimated 3904 warheads that were used with missiles and aircraft in January 2023. On ballistic missiles, about 2100 of the deployed warheads were maintained in a high operational alert status. These warheads belonged to the USA or Russia almost entirely, although China is thought to have several on high operational alert for the first time."Unfortunately, we continue to see year-on-year increases in the number of operational nuclear warheads, even as the global total of nuclear warheads continues to fall as cold war-era weapons are gradually dismantled," SIPRI Director Dan Smith said. "This trend is very concerning as it seems likely to continue and probably accelerate in the coming years."The ability to mount multiple warheads on ballistic missiles, which is already possessed by Russia, France, the UK, the USA, and—more recently—China, is something that India, Pakistan, and North Korea are all vying for. This would make it possible for the number of warheads in use to rise quickly and for nations with nuclear weapons to threaten the destruction of a great deal more targets.Together, the United States and Russia are in possession of about 90% of all nuclear weapons. Although Russia is reported to have deployed about 36 more warheads with operational troops than in January 2023, the sizes of their respective military stockpiles (i.e., serviceable warheads) appear to have remained largely steady in 2023. Following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, both countries have seen a fall in nuclear force transparency, while discussions surrounding nuclear-sharing agreements have gained more importance.  

Modi courted female votes in India Was the election strategy successful?

Prior to the nation's historic national election, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave an address at a rally in the eastern state of West Bengal to an exclusively female audience on International Women's Day.Modi claimed that his defense against criticism of his government's ten-year rule came from women voters. His remarks aligned with the focused outreach that Prime Minister Modi and his administration have made to women, who make up 49% of the nation's population.The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has positioned itself under Modi as a champion of Indian women's issues, from the provision of cooking gas connections to assurances of increased safety for women. However, several of the party's programs have come under fire for being more hype than substance.Additionally, a number of polls conducted prior to the Indian election revealed that, in contrast to the opposition, the BJP had more support from women than from men. However, a complicated image of how women actually voted in 2024 is starting to emerge, a week after the results of the Indian elections became evident. The BJP needed the support of coalition partners to create the government that was sworn in on Sunday after failing to secure a majority. Additionally, the findings deviate with the recent trend of an increase in the number of elected women lawmakers.Al Jazeera analyzes the BJP's tactics, the performance of its female candidates, the voting patterns of women, and the status of representation in the upcoming Indian parliament.

Is Baar Abki Take our poll on the Lok Sabha elections to learn more about the sentiment of the country.

With every stage of the big Indian democracy festival coming to an end and the finish line nearly in sight, the nation's most crucial question is becoming more and more relevant with each day: What will happen on June 4?The India poll storyline is dominated by a number of related talking topics and problems in addition to the fundamental question of who will win the big race. Is 400-paar merely electioneering speak, or is India really prepared to grant an outright majority to a single regime? Or, as some pollsters have predicted, will the Indian voter want a mandate change this time and try out a new political system?If the INDIA group is victorious and provides the nation with a credible long-term political option, will it be able to maintain its unity or will it crumble at the first sign of a coalition challenge due to conflicting interests and ideologies?Not to mention, would PM Modi be able to keep all of his much-vaunted promises in the event that the BJP wins? What matters more is who will be his deserving successor. The 2024 election will be one of the most closely followed in history, both domestically and internationally, because of some of these issues. The ET Online Elections Survey aims to address some of these important concerns and assess popular sentiment. However, the survey is only research-related and does not reflect a viewpoint.
