As global power dynamics evolve amid growing divisions within BRICS, questions are emerging over how Pakistan is positioning itself in the changing geopolitical landscape.

In this episode of The Blue Newsroom with Amber Rahim Shamsi, the discussion examines tensions at the latest BRICS summit, including reported efforts by India to dilute language on Israel and Palestine, as well as widening differences between Iran and the UAE that could shape the bloc’s cohesion.

The program also explores Pakistan’s evolving foreign policy approach, as Islamabad deepens strategic engagement with Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, and China, and considers whether this signals a more defined long-term diplomatic direction.

The episode further highlights Pakistan’s widening artificial intelligence gap, following a Gallup Pakistan survey showing that 85% of citizens have never used AI, raising questions about digital readiness and future competitiveness. It also touches on global entertainment headlines, including renewed attention on the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic and debates over how his legacy is being portrayed.
