Nepal army chief likely to meet Gen-Z protesters
There is a comparative calm in Nepal after the army stepped in to restore order after two days of violent protests. Nepal’s former chief justice Sushila Karki has emerged as a probable candidate to lead an interim government.
A meeting between Nepal army chief Ashok Sigdel and the Gen-Z protesters is scheduled for today.
Gen-Z movement leaders on Wednesday held a virtual meeting, where they discussed sending 15 representatives to Kathmandu Mayor Balen Shah and former Chief Justice Sushila Karki.

Israeli president in London
Israeli President Isaac Herzog is beginning a three-day visit to the United Kingdom, where he will meet ministers, even as some Labour MPs have urged the government not to engage with him.
The visit comes ahead of the UK government’s likely recognition of a Palestinian state. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has said this will go ahead unless Israel agrees to a ceasefire and restarts talks on a two-state solution.
Herzog is expected to meet Starmer at Downing Street today.
Meanwhile, pro-Palestinian protesters have called for an arrest warrant against Herzog over alleged war crimes before his arrival in the UK.
Trump to attend 9/11 remembrance ceremony
US President Donald Trump will observe a remembrance ceremony at the Pentagon memorial, marking 24 years since the September 11 attacks.
Vice President JD Vance will be at Ground Zero in New York City to mark the day, joined by Second Lady Usha Vance.
On September 11, 2001, nearly 3,000 people lost their lives when 19 al-Qaeda hijackers seized four passenger planes in the United States.
Three were flown into buildings: two struck the World Trade Center in New York, causing the twin towers to collapse, while another hit the Pentagon near Washington, DC.
Trump to attend Yankees game in New York
After the remembrance events, Donald Trump will head to a New York Yankees game against the Detroit Tigers.
It is not yet clear whether the match will feature a formal tribute to the victims of the attacks or whether Trump will play a role in any ceremony.
The Yankees and the Tigers currently lead the American League.
