India's proposed amendments to the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA) have triggered a political debate that has now drawn international attention. US Congressman Riley Moore has criticised the proposed changes, claiming they could affect churches and religious charities and calling the issue a concern for US-India relations. The remarks have sparked sharp political reactions in India. The Congress has strongly opposed the proposed amendments in Parliament, while the CPI has rejected any foreign intervention, saying the matter should be decided by India's Parliament. The VHP has also challenged the US lawmaker's claims.

Spain has deployed military units to Ceuta after thousands of migrants crossed into the Spanish enclave from neighbouring Morocco by sea and land, overwhelming local security forces. Spanish authorities say at least nine people died during the chaotic crossings as large crowds breached border barriers and swam around coastal breakwaters. The Armed Forces have been sent to assist the Civil Guard in restoring order, while Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska are visiting Ceuta to assess the crisis. Spain says Morocco is cooperating to stop further crossings and facilitate the return of those who entered illegally.
