00:00It's extremely significant because as many world leaders have been reaching out, urging restraint, calling both countries to de-escalate the conflict, it didn't seem to be happening.
00:15India and Pakistan didn't seem to be communicating. Yesterday at an army press conference, a spokesman said that neither of the country's national security advisers were in touch, even though that line of communication is crucial when these countries are going through tensions.
00:32They've used that line in the past during previous conflicts. And so now, after what seemed like a never-ending cycle of escalation, the two countries exchanging drone and artillery attacks, claims and counterclaims, it seems that diplomacy might be holding.
00:53Now, again, we haven't seen a statement from India, and I think that's really important to say. But very soon after Donald Trump, the president of the United States, announced on X that there had been a ceasefire that had been agreed with immediate effect, Pakistan's foreign ministry and its foreign minister made a very similar announcement.
01:16Now, we don't know the terms of that ceasefire. We don't know how India views this. But either way, it's a huge breakthrough after a night where people in Pakistan in the early morning were waking up to news that their military had launched an operation against India.
01:34And India was claiming that it was also facing an unacceptable incursion. So when it came to finding an off-ramp to this conflict, it was very hard to see one.
