United Nations needs reforms: PM Modi in UNGA address | Watch full speech

In a major disclosure, Semaphore reveals that The Washington Post and The New York Times withheld information about a secret US raid to capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. The report contrasts this silence with the criticism Indian media faced during 'Operation Zindur'. Following Maduro's capture, US President Donald Trump declared that 'very large United States oil companies' will 'spend billions of dollars' to fix Venezuela's infrastructure. As Delcy Rodriguez takes charge amidst chaos, the report by Rohit Sharma and Pranay Upadhyay explores the geopolitical battle for Venezuela's oil.

In a dramatic start to 2026, a US strike on Venezuela has toppled a 'strongman', triggering global reactions. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer clarified Britain's stance, stating, 'I can be absolutely clear that we were not involved in that,' while emphasizing the need to 'uphold international law.' The operation, described as a 'Trump attack', also drew a sharp response from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who suggested Washington now 'knows what to do next' regarding dictators. The report details the geopolitical shockwaves as Latin American nations warn of escalation.

In a historic escalation, United States President Donald Trump has announced the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro during a daring overnight raid in Caracas dubbed 'Operation Absolute Resolve'. Speaking on the operation, Trump stated, 'At my direction, the United States Armed Forces conducted an extraordinary military operation in the capital of Venezuela.' Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were transported to New York to face federal charges including narco-terrorism and cocaine trafficking. While Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez condemned the act as a 'kidnapping' and vowed to defend national resources, opposition leader Maria Corina Machado hailed the move as Venezuela's 'hour of freedom'.

On this Special Report, citizens gather at Delhi's Jantar Mantar to protest a recent Supreme Court order mandating the removal of stray dogs from transport hubs, schools, and hospitals. One protester, an employee at IIT, argues that dogs in educational institutions are well-cared for and crucial for students' mental health. The demonstrators term the order 'inhuman' and 'unscientific,' citing Article 51A of the Constitution which mandates compassion for every living creature. They assert that the removal of shelters is not sustainable and that the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has failed to follow existing Animal Birth Control (ABC) rules. The group demands strict implementation of sterilization and vaccination programs as the only scientifically proven solution to manage the stray dog population and prevent aggression.
