Former Australian prime minister Tony Abbott with PM Modi | File Image Former Australian prime minister Tony Abbott dismissed claims that India has become an authoritarian state under the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), calling the argument “total bullsh*t”. Abbott made the remarks while reflecting on his experience at the Raisina Dialogue, India’s flagship global conference on geopolitics and geoeconomics, held annually in New Delhi. The forum, he said, stands out among international gatherings for encouraging open debate rather than serving as an exercise in deference to the host government. “And as for this notion that India, under the BJP, has somehow become an authoritarian state, that’s total BS. No country with free and fair elections, a riotously free media, and a robustly independent judiciary is in serious danger of dictatorship,” he said. “And no dictatorship would host a global conference where nothing is …

(Image: X) French President Emmanuel Macron said the free speech defence put forward by major social media platforms is “pure bullshit,” pushing back against a key foreign policy stance of US President Donald Trump. Speaking in New Delhi on Wednesday, Macron questioned the transparency of social media algorithms and their democratic impact. “Having no clue about how their algorithm is made, how it’s tested, trained and where it will guide you — the democratic consequences of this bias could be huge,” he said, according to Bloomberg. Macron added that claims of defending free speech ring hollow without algorithmic transparency. “Some of them claim to be in favour of free speech. Ok, we are in favour of free algorithms, but if they are totally transparent,” Macron said. “Free speech is pure bullshit if nobody knows how you are guided to this so-called free speech, especially when it is guided from one hate …

Alcaraz was struggling to move at 4-4 in the third set and was allowed treatment on his right thigh at the change of ends, which did not sit well with Zverev who was even saying “bulls**t” during the incident. “Yeah, I mean, he was cramping, so normally you can’t take a medical time-out for cramping. What can I do? It’s not my decision. ‌I didn’t like it, but it’s not my decision. I just said it was bulls**t, basically,” Zverev said in the post-match press conference. “He took like an hour and a half off where he wasn’t moving almost at all. So again, maybe I should have used that better in a way. Maybe I should have won the games and won the sets a bit quicker. Then moving into the fifth, maybe he wouldn’t have ‌had …
