In tonight’s episode of The Blue Newsroom, Amber Rahim Shamsi breaks down a triple crisis hitting Pakistan.

The Trump Threat: With a 25% tariff ultimatum on anyone trading with Iran, Pakistan is stuck between a $5 Billion export loss or a total energy blackout in Balochistan. Is this the start of a new Imperial era?

The Business Flight: Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb finally admits that taxes and energy costs are driving MNCs away, but is his "Asset Transfer" strategy enough to save a broken system?

We look at the real numbers: 64% tax vs the world. Environmental Massacre: 30,000 trees axed in Islamabad.

We ask the uncomfortable question: Why do we only care about the environment when it hits the "Burger" sectors? Plus, a heartfelt tribute to the legendary Ishrat Fatima as she signs off after 45 years.

Watch the full insight in 10 minutes.
