In today's episode, we examine Pakistan's evolving cross-border security challenges amid growing concerns over terrorism and their potential implications for Karachi's security. Amber Rahim Shamsi discusses this critical situation with Senior Journalist Iftikhar Firdous and Defense Analyst Major general (retd) Zahid Mehmood.

We also take a closer look at Pakistan's new auto budget and the government's decision to reduce import duties on vehicles. Will the policy bring relief to consumers through greater competition and lower prices, or will it increase pressure on the country's local auto industry? Amber Rahim Shamsi is joined by H. M. Shahzad, Chairman of the Pakistan Motor Dealers Association, to unpack the implications of the new policy for buyers, dealers, and manufacturers.
