Hundreds of Anti-Government Protesters Clash with Police in Peru | Vantage with Palki Sharma | N18G

Hundreds of "Generation Z" demonstrators clashed with police in Lima on Sunday, fuelled by public anger against organised crime, corruption in public office, and a recent pension reform, which requires young adults to join a private pension fund. The clashes broke out as demonstrators tried to approach executive and congressional buildings in Lima. Protesters threw stones and Molotov cocktails at the police, who responded with tear gas. This comes as approval ratings for President Dina Boluarte, whose term ends next year, plummet amid rising extortion and organised crime cases.

- In France, towns are flying the Palestinian flag despite government orders ahead of state recognition.
- In Europe, torrential rains are wreaking havoc across Spain, France, and Italy.
- On this day in 1965, the Second Indo-Pak War came to an end after more than three weeks of conflict, which had broken out when the Pakistani army attempted to take Kashmir by force. The war's conclusion was widely seen as a strategic and political defeat for Pakistan.
