Canada recalls 41 diplomats from India amidst escalating tensions

Canada has withdrawn 41 diplomats from India in response to New Delhi's demand to reduce its diplomatic presence following Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's claim of a potential link between Indian agents and the murder of a Sikh separatist leader in Canada. Canada's Foreign Minister Melanie Joly called India's threat to revoke the diplomats' official status unreasonable and a violation of the Vienna convention on diplomatic relations. Canada will not take retaliatory steps and now has 21 diplomats remaining in India. India has dismissed Trudeau's suspicions as absurd, and the departure of diplomats will result in a reduction in embassy staff dealing with immigration.

WSJ Reporter Evan Gershkovich Imprisoned in Russia for Doing His Job

Evan Gershkovich, an American journalist, has been wrongfully detained by the Russian government on "trumped up" charges, according to U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Senator Bob Menendez. Evan's case is fundamentally different from other Americans detained in Russia, as he was abducted for simply doing his job. His arrest is a signal of the new reality in which Russia is operating, where all the old rules and norms no longer apply. Evan's arrest could be a signal that Russia is looking for another prisoner exchange.
