With World Radio News, I'm Kent Covington. The House of Representatives is expected to vote this week on a bill that would implement new rules that Republicans say are designed to safeguard elections. They call it the Save America Act. It would require voters to show a valid form of identification when casting a ballot in a national election. Democratic leaders oppose the measure calling it voter suppression, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. The Save Act would introduce the 21st century equivalent of a democracy that tolerates literally. literacy texts. Schumer even compared the measure to Jim Crow laws, but House Speaker Mike Johnson counters. Americans need an ID to drive, to open a bank account, to buy cold medicine, I mean, to file

government assistance, as is noted by the leader, you even need an ID to attend events of most Democrat politicians and even the Democrat National Convention. So, why would voting be any different? The House passed a similar measure last year, which Democrats blocked in the Senate. British Prime Minister Kier Starmor's job appears to be safe for the moment. He has secured a temporary respite after the fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein files threatened his leadership. Some rivals within his Labor Party have been hesitant about the possible consequences of a political coup. Energy Secretary Ed Miliband said Tuesday that labor lawmakers have decided to unite behind Starmar. That came as the Prime Minister renewed his vow to remain on the job.

I will never walk away from the mandate. given to change this country from the people that I'm charged with fighting for. The crisis stems from Starmor's decision to appoint Epstein friend Peter Mandelson as U.K. ambassador to Washington. Starmer has apologized and said that Mandelson had lied about his ties to Epstein. Pakistan's president is warning that the Taliban's government in Afghanistan is once again fostering terrorism as it did before the 9-11 attacks. World's Mary Muncie reports. President Azif Ali Zardari's warning comes after a shite mosque bombing in Islamabad that killed 31 people. ISIS claimed responsibility for the bombing and investigations are ongoing.

In a statement, Zardari said the Taliban regime has created conditions similar to or worse than pre-9-11, when terror organizations posed threats to global peace. He added that Pakistan had long maintained. terrorism cannot be confronted by any single country in isolation. Any thank to the international community for condemning the mosque attack. Zardari also suggested that India is assisting the Taliban regime, which India denies. For World, I'm Mary Muncie. And I'm Kent Covington.
