The city of Karachi wakes up to heartbreak as the 36-hour battle against the Gul Plaza inferno ends, leaving more than at least 15 dead and a trail of multi-billion rupee destruction.

In this episode of The Blue Newsroom, we investigate why the 2023 fire safety audits were overlooked and why Karachi's shopping hubs continue to be considered "death traps."

We also shift the spotlight to Washington: Donald Trump has invited Pakistan to join a high-stakes "Board of Peace" for Gaza. With Jared Kushner at the helm, is this a path to peace or a strategic trap for the Muslim world?

Finally, we dive into the trending storm surrounding Junaid Safdar’s wedding and the viral letter from Donald Trump that has Norway and the Nobel Committee reeling.
