Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's olive branch to the young people behind India's biggest student-led protests in years has done little to stem the abuse and police action many participants say they continue to face. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/08/07/asia-pacific/india-student-online-harassment-protests/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #india #asia #southasia

Muslim mayors in major #US and #European cities being visibly pro #trans and #LGBTQ rights is quite a contrast from what you see from #Muslim politicians and leaders in #SouthAsia and #SoutheastAsia.

Il Tempo: Cina, l'aviazione civile registra una crescita costante nel primo semestre PECHINO (CINA) (XINHUA/ITALPRESS) – Il settore dell'aviazione civile cinese ha mantenuto una crescita costante nel primo semestre di quest'anno (H1), con un aumento del 6,4% su base annua del volume complessivo dei trasporti, salito a 83,37 miliardi di tonnellate-chilometro. Lo riportano i dati ufficiali diffusi ieri. Nel periodo gennaio-giugno, il settore ha gestito 380 milioni di passeggeri, in aumento dell'1% su base annua. Il volume del trasporto di merci e posta è cresciuto del 6%, raggiungendo i 5,073 milioni di tonnellate, secondo l'Amministrazione dell'aviazione civile cinese (CAAC). La forte espansione dei trasporti internazionali è emersa come uno dei principali elementi della performance del settore nel primo semestre. Durante questo periodo, la Cina ha aggiunto sette destinazioni internazionali per il trasporto passeggeri e 19 destinazioni internazionali per il trasporto merci. I volumi di passeggeri e merci gestiti dalle compagnie aeree cinesi nel mercato Asia-Europa sono entrambi aumentati di oltre il 20% su base annua. In particolare, il traffico passeggeri verso l'Asia centrale, l'Asia meridionale e l'America Latina è cresciuto rispettivamente del 79,8%, del 42,3% e del 78,5%. Anche l'efficienza operativa del settore ha registrato un continuo miglioramento. Nel primo semestre, il tasso di regolarità dei voli ha raggiunto il 93,5%. Con l'arrivo del picco estivo dei viaggi, il numero medio giornaliero di voli in Cina è recentemente risalito a 18.000, mentre il traffico giornaliero di passeggeri si è stabilizzato sopra la soglia dei 2 milioni.(ITALPRESS).– Foto Xinhua – China’s civil aviation registers a constant growth in the first half of the year.

#SouthAsia Climate change puts Coppersmith Barbets’ food, nests and breeding under pressure Although still common across its range, the Coppersmith Barbet’s reliance on fruiting trees and tree cavities makes it vulnerable to climate-linked heat, rainfall shifts and storm damage Rising temperatures, erratic rainfall and increasingly severe storms could disrupt the fruit supply, nesting sites & breeding cycle of one of South Asia’s most recognisable birds https://theclimatewatch.com/climate-change-puts-coppersmith-barbets-food-nests-and-breeding-under-pressure/ #ClimateChange

Sicilianews24.it: Cambiamenti climatici triplicano il rischio di ondate di calore mortali in Sud Asia nel 2026. Ondate di Calore Estremo in India e Pakistan Tra metà aprile e maggio 2026, India e Pakistan sono stati colpiti da un’ondata di calore che ha fatto registrare temperature massime giornaliere superiori ai 46 °C (114,8 °F) in molte città. Questo periodo di intenso caldo ha causato almeno 10 vittime a Karachi, Pakistan, e 6 morti per colpi di calore in India, con dati aggiornati a partire dal 27 aprile. Uno studio “super-rapido” pubblicato da scienziati dell’Organizzazione Mondiale per la Meteorologia ha rivelato che tali condizioni di temperature elevate in aprile stanno diventando sempre più comuni, avvenendo ora una volta ogni cinque anni nella regione. Secondo i ricercatori, i cambiamenti climatici indotti dall’uomo hanno reso questo periodo di ondata di calore di 15 giorni, dal 15 al 29 aprile, circa tre volte più probabile rispetto a quanto sarebbe stato in un clima pre-industriale. L’evento di calore nello stesso periodo sarebbe stato inferiore di circa 1 °C (1,8 °F) in un clima pre-industriale. L'articolo Cambiamenti climatici triplicano il rischio di ondate di calore mortali in Sud Asia nel 2026. sembra essere il primo su Sicilianews24.it. Climate change triples the risk of deadly heatwaves in South Asia by 2026. Extreme Heat Waves in India and Pakistan Between mid-April and May 2026, India and Pakistan were hit by a heatwave that recorded daily maximum temperatures above 46°C (114.8°F) in many cities. This period of intense heat caused at least 10 deaths in Karachi, Pakistan, and 6 deaths from heatstroke in India, as of April 27th. A “rapid” study published by scientists at the World Meteorological Organization revealed that such high-temperature conditions in April are becoming increasingly common, now occurring once every five years in the region. According to researchers, human-induced climate change has made this 15-day heatwave period, from April 15th to 29th, approximately three times more likely than it would have been in a pre-industrial climate. The heat event during the same period would have been about 1°C (1.8°F) cooler in a pre-industrial climate. The article “Climate Change Triples Risk of Deadly Heatwaves in South Asia in 2026” appears to be the first on Sicilianews24.it. #SouthAsia #India #Pakistan #1148°F #Karachi #first https://www.sicilianews24.it/cambiamenti-climatici-triplicano-il-rischio-di-ondate-di-calore-mortali-in-sud-asia-nel-2026-829692.html

A somewhat dry #Heatwave claims its first casualties of 2026 in #Karachi, #Pakistan Records broken detailed in the news article below, but temps blew past 44C (111F) during the day. This is NOT USUAL for the city, contrary to whatever news agencies will spin it as. https://tribune.com.pk/story/2606322/eight-found-dead-in-karachi-due-to-intense-heat I shudder to think what if it was humid and that was a wet bulb temperature.... #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange #SouthAsia #ClimateEmergency

@fediverse @rimu@mastodon.nzoss.nz @Snoopy@piefed.social @Jerry@hear-me.social #piefed is fairly new as a social media platform. There was no piefed instance before COVID if I'm not mistaken. There ought to be more #instances of #piefed in order to reach newer users. And you might be aware that #piefed would find huge number of users in geographical areas like #china and #southAsia . What are your thoughts on this ?? Moreover, the #fediverse has its own neat rules when it comes to federating servers. Please share your thoughts on this each of you. @praveen@social.masto.host @ml@social.mitexleo.one
