Delhi Brics Summit Faces Unity Test Amid US Policy Pressures

A BRICS summit in Delhi will test the bloc’s unity as it expands to 11 members and grapples with US policy pressures—tariffs and de-dollarisation—without a confrontational anti-Washington stance. India, hosting, aims to elevate its Global South leadership while balancing concerns from China and other members. Expect discussions to focus on financial cooperation, local-currency payments, and IMF/World Bank reforms, with a cautious joint statement likely rather than a sharp stance against the US; Xi–Modi and Modi–Putin bilateral talks are among the highlight meetings.

Surviving Delhi’s Swelter: a homeless family’s daily fight under a flyover

During Delhi’s brutal heatwave, with daytime readings near 43C and nighttime around 32C, a homeless family under a flyover endures scarce water, meals, and shelter, while a nine‑month‑old baby remains at risk; repeated shelter demolitions and a roughly 75% shelter-capacity deficit leave them with little relief, and women bear the heaviest caregiving and sleep deprivation.
