Missing Indian woman returns home after 22 years

Hamida Banu says she was trafficked to Pakistan.

An Indian woman who says she was trafficked to Pakistan more than two decades ago has finally returned home - 18 months after her grandson spotted her in a YouTube video. Our colleague in Delhi who wrote up the story for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ News website explains.

After the UN also warned that Syria is not stable enough for the large-scale return of refugees, we bring together Syrian students abroad to discuss whether they are hoping to go back.

A high-ranking general in the Russian armed forces and his assistant have been killed in Moscow by Ukraine's security service, a Ukrainian source has told the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ. We speak to our colleague from Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Ukraine.

The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ has seen evidence that the multinational corporation that owns Jaguar Land Rover arranged for a whistleblower to be sacked for raising concerns about the safety of electric cars it had designed. We speak to our financial correspondent and bring together two whistleblowers to share their experiences.
