A huge Palestinian flag hangs as women watch from the top of a building destroyed during the Gaza War, during the mass wedding of 54 couples dubbed ''The Dress of Joy,'' organized by the Al-Fares Al-Shahm Foundation, in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza Strip, on December 2, 2025. ''The Dress of Joy'' is a project helping 54 grooms in the Gaza Strip to get married, an initiative that coincides with the United Arab Emirates' (UAE) 54th National Day. The war is sparked by Hamas's October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, which results in the deaths of 1,221 people. Israel's retaliatory assault on Gaza kills over 70,000 people, according to figures from the health ministry that the UN considers reliable.

A man smokes a cigarette along a street in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on December 2, 2025. Smoking in public places in India is banned on October 2, 2008, under the Prohibition of Smoking in Public Places Rules, 2008, and the Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products Act (COTPA). India is the world's second-largest producer and consumer of tobacco behind China. Meanwhile, India unveils two new tax bills in parliament on Monday, aiming to overhaul levies on ''sin goods'' such as tobacco, a spice mix known as pan masala, and other items, ahead of next year's phase-out of a Goods and Services Tax (GST) compensation cess.

Former Nepali House Speaker Krishna Bahadur Mahara is escorted in a police van from the central jail in Kathmandu, Nepal, to the district court following a court order to release him on bail in a gold smuggling case on November 27, 2025. Former Speaker and CPN (Maoist Centre) Vice-chair Krishna Bahadur Mahara is arrested by the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) in connection with a gold smuggling case. The Patan High Court orders his release on a bail amount of NRs 2 million. Mahara is arrested on October 12, 2025, following fresh instructions from the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA), which conducts an inquiry into his alleged involvement in smuggling gold concealed inside electronic cigarettes (vapes) in collaboration with a Chinese organized group. According to police, the CIAA seeks his detention to move forward with a renewed probe into his role in facilitating the entry of smuggled gold through the vape-import channel. Mahara is questioned by the CIAA only days earlier, on October 9, 2025. Although his name surfaces in the gold smuggling case three years ago, both the District Government Attorney's Office and Nepal Police previously free him during earlier rounds of investigation. Authorities now allege that Mahara uses his political influence to help a smuggling racket bring gold into Nepal in 2022, an operation that also leads to the arrest of his son, Rahul Mahara, on suspicion of involvement. In March 2024, Mahara is arrested from Kapilvastu and brought to Kathmandu for questioning related to the case. The Kathmandu District Court later remands him to custody, but he is allowed to stay at Norvic Hospital citing health complications. A high-level government commission led by former High Court Chief Judge Dilli Raj Acharya earlier criticizes the CIB for ''intentionally avoiding'' a full investigation into Mahara and other senior officials allegedly linked to large-scale gold smuggling.
