Who gets to stay without a choice after Dr Robby (Noah Wyle) decides to leave? There’s all the staff members who are deciding things for themselves (or not) and seeing what can happen when the ER and this work can become their identity.

The world is indeed becoming “more multi-polar”, which makes a compelling case for “deeper multilateralism”, and collectively, prosperity can only come through mutual respect and understanding, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Sunday (December 7, 2025). In his address at the opening ceremony of a key UNESCO meeting on Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) at the Red Fort complex, he also told delegates from various countries that in the “shared quest for progress and prosperity”, it is essential to nurture inheritance, build on it and pass it on to the future generations. The 20th session of the Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage will take place at the Red Fort from December 8 to 13. This is the first time that India is hosting a session of the UNESCO panel. Mr. Jaishankar underlined that India, besides being home to many UNESCO World Heritage Sites, has itself undertaken many preservation and conservation projects across the world.
