At present there is war going on in different parts of the world. fresh fight middle east In America-Israel Is continuing from Iran. This war started on February 28 last month, when America and Israel directly attacked Iran. In retaliation, Iran also started rapid attacks. However, during this period, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had died. Apart from this, many other leaders were killed in the American-Israeli attack. At present the situation in the Middle East remains serious. Attacks are continuing from both sides. Due to this, Iran has also closed the Strait of Hormuz, due to which an oil crisis has arisen across the world. This is a very important route, with the help of which 20 percent of the world’s oil is imported.
Apart from the Middle East, the long-running tension between India’s neighboring countries Afghanistan and Pakistan has taken the shape of war. According to TOI report, in recent times the Pakistani Air Force has carried out several air strikes in the border areas of Afghanistan as well as in Kabul and Kandahar. Civilian targets and Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) bases were targeted in these attacks. Pakistan has long been alleging that TTP fighters hide inside the Afghan border and plan attacks. After these attacks, the Afghan Taliban also retaliated. Taliban says that they carried out drone attacks in many cities of Pakistan. These included areas like Kohat, Karachi and Islamabad. Apart from this, many military bases were also captured. So far, more than 300 people have died, which includes Pakistani soldiers as well as civilians. Afghanistan also captured many Pakistani soldiers. According to the United Nations (UNAMA) report, 56 Afghan civilians have died in Pakistani military actions between 26 February and 5 March 2026, including 24 children.

russia and ukraine war
The war between Russia and Ukraine is one of the biggest international incidents in the world. This conflict started in February 2022, when Russia launched a military attack on Ukraine. Since then there is continuous fighting between the two countries. The impact of this war is not limited only to these two countries, but has had an impact on the politics, economy and security of the entire world. President of Russia on 24 February 2022 Vladimir Putin Announced the start of military operations in Ukraine. After this, the Russian army entered Ukraine from many directions. Russia said that this action was necessary for its security, but Ukraine and Western countries called it a direct attack and a violation of international law.
Russia-Ukraine missile attack
Russia has used Oreshnik hypersonic ballistic missile on Ukraine during the war. It is considered to be a very sharp and deadly weapon. This missile was used to target energy infrastructure in Lviv and other areas. Missiles and drone attacks launched by Russia have damaged many power plants and power grids of Ukraine. Russia has also attacked many cities of Ukraine with ballistic missiles. On the other hand, Ukraine has also retaliated against Russia. The Ukrainian army has targeted military bases, oil rigs and missile production plants located inside Russia. Ukraine has carried out several attacks in the Bryansk Oblast region using drones and missiles received from Western countries.
Situation of war between Japan and North Korea
There has been tension between Japan and North Korea for many years. The main reason for this tension is North Korea’s missile and nuclear tests. Whenever North Korea conducts missile tests, the concern of Japan and its allied countries increases. On Saturday (March 13, 2026), Japan informed on X (formerly Twitter) that North Korea has launched a suspected ballistic missile. Further investigation is ongoing in this regard. Let us tell you that this increasing tension in the Korean Peninsula is not limited only to these two countries, but it also affects the security of the entire East Asia and the world. North Korea tests long-range missiles from time to time. Many times these missiles pass over Japan or fall near its maritime zone.
Owners of some Nissan Leaf electric vehicles are angry after the carmaker announced it would shut down an app that lets them remotely control battery charging and other functions.
Drivers of Leaf cars made before May 2019 and the e-NV200 van (produced until 2022) have been told that the NissanConnect EV app linked to their vehicles will “cease operation” from 30 March. This means they will lose remote services, including turning on the heating, and some map features.
Experts said they expected other drivers to experience similar problems in future as “connected cars” – vehicles that can connect to the internet – get older.
One driver and Guardian Money reader, Alan Clucas, said he was upset by the switch-off, adding that some of the affected vehicles were less than four years old. “I think Nissan should do better,” he said.
Talking about his seven-year-old Leaf, Clucas said the “most annoying thing will be not being able to smart-charge the car or remotely warm it up on frosty mornings”. He added: “We could previously check the charge levels from a mobile phone.”

Other affected motorists have been discussing the matter online. “Looks like going forward, only paid-for remote connectivity will be supported,” said one, adding that it was “amazing” that Nissan “only supported a core EV feature for seven years. Considering [an] average car can last for 12-plus years, that is shockingly bad.”
Another driver added: “My car is almost 10 years old now, but those with an early 2020 model won’t be too happy that their not-even seven-year-old car is having remote access removed with a month’s notice.”
Nissan faced criticism in 2024 when it dropped the first generation of Leaf cars after the switch-off of the UK’s 2G network. The carmaker said the latest move was because the app could not be “upgraded to support future enhancements”.
In-car services such as climate control and charging timers would still be available through the infotainment system, Nissan said, but remote services and some map-related features would not.
Steve Walker from the motoring magazine Auto Express said the situation was a preview of what would happen when “today’s cars” get old.
“As modern cars that are even more reliant on connected services and updates than the Leaf age, it is likely that manufacturer support for their systems will drop away, too,” he said.
This could mean other features including navigation systems, touchscreen controls and even subscriptions for features such as heated seats, autonomous driving aids or extra engine power could stop working or be turned off further down the line, he said.

“Nobody wants to see cars rendered obsolete before their time,” Walker said. “The best way to minimise the environmental impact of cars is to build them to last. Software and digital systems need to be as durable and reliable as mechanical components.”
Benjamin Gorman, a senior lecturer at Bournemouth University, said the tech world was shifting towards software-as-a service (Saas) models.
“A good example is software like Adobe Photoshop – historically, you could buy it once and use it for as long as you liked, whereas now it typically requires an ongoing subscription,” said Gorman.
This worked well for things such as games and entertainment platforms, where people are used to subscriptions and shorter upgrade cycles, he said. However, it is more problematic when applied to expensive physical products such as cars, which people expect to keep working for a decade or more.
“I suspect we will see this issue more often in the coming years as vehicles become increasingly software-driven,” said Gorman. “We are seeing more manufacturers experiment with subscription fees for connected features … but it raises important questions about what consumers feel they should permanently own versus what they are effectively renting through software services.”

An explosion damaged a Jewish school in Amsterdam early on Saturday, in what the city’s mayor described as “a deliberate attack against the Jewish community”.
The explosion at the school in an upmarket residential neighbourhood on the south side of Amsterdam only caused limited damage, the mayor, Femke Halsema, said in a press release, as police and firefighters arrived at the scene quickly.
No injuries were reported.
Security at synagogues and Jewish institutions in the Dutch capital had already been heightened after an overnight arson attack at a synagogue in the centre of Rotterdam on Friday.
In neighbouring Belgium, an explosion caused a fire at a synagogue in Liege on Monday.
“This is a cowardly act of aggression against the Jewish community,” Halsema said.
“Jewish people in Amsterdam are increasingly confronted with antisemitism. This is unacceptable.”
Concerns about possible attacks against Jewish communities around the world have risen following US and Israeli attacks on Iran and a subsequent response from Tehran.

The impact of shortage of LPG cylinders in the capital Delhi is no longer limited to just homes, but has also reached community kitchens, temples and small food shops running outside hospitals. Its impact is clearly visible on the free food provided to poor patients and their families.
Food carts reduced outside hospitals
Outside Delhi’s AIIMS and Safdarjung Hospital, many social organizations and NGOs provide free food to the families of patients every day. But due to shortage of cylinders, these services have started decreasing.
According to the servants, earlier about 15 to 17 carts used to bring food here every day, but now this number has reduced to 7 to 8 carts. This is directly impacting those poor families who stay outside the hospital for several days to get their patients treated and depend on these services.
A serviceman said that due to non-availability of gas cylinders, cooking has become difficult at many places, hence many vehicles have now stopped.
Support of wood stove in ISKCON kitchen
The kitchen of ISKCON temple, famous for its food service in Delhi, is also not untouched by this problem. People associated with the temple say that gas cylinder is not available for the last four days, due to which they are forced to cook food on wood stove.
Although the temple is making arrangements to provide food to the people, the work has become very difficult due to shortage of gas.
Temples and shops were also affected
The impact of the cylinder crisis is also being seen on the food shops outside many temples in Delhi. Shopkeepers say that at present they are making do with the leftover stock.
Things like shortbread and vegetables are the most sold, but due to unavailability of gas, many shopkeepers are serving the vegetables cold instead of heating them.
Its impact is visible not only on namkeen or food shops, but also on shops making sweets and prasad. Due to shortage of gas cylinders, production has had to be reduced at many places, due to which shopkeepers are also facing losses.
Overall, the effect of cylinder shortage in the capital is now gradually becoming visible at many places. If the situation does not improve soon, it may impact the poor and the families of the patients the most.
