Syrian govt wants all women to wear burkinis on the beach: What are these bikini alternatives?
Syria's interim government issued a decree mandating that women must wear burkinis or other 'decent' clothing on beaches and public pools, as reported by Syrian state news. A Burkini is a swimsuit which covers the entire body except the face. Exemptions apply to private beaches, clubs, and high-end hotels. This directive has sparked debate, with some supporting its modesty focus and others criticising government control over personal attire choices. This article explores the burkini's origin, design, and global impact, and meaning of Syria's new rule. This decree has opened up broader discussions about modesty, personal freedom, and cultural sensitivities in swimwear regulations. Design and features of burkini A burkini typically consists of a long-sleeved tunic and straight-legged pants with an attached hood or swim cap to cover the hair and neck. This design conceals the hair, neck, and entire body, leaving only the face exposed. Generally made from lightweight, SPF50+ polyester or polyester-spandex blends. It resembles a wetsuit which allows ease of movement in water. Origin of the burkini The burkini is a portmanteau of "burqa" and "bikini". by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Düsseldorf: GEERS sucht 700 Testhörer für Hörgeräte ohne Zuzahlung GEERS Undo It was designed in 2004 by Aheda Zanetti, a Muslim Australian. Her goal was to provide a culturally appropriate swimwear for Muslim women observing hijab. Inspired by her niece's discomfort playing sports in traditional clothing and the 2005 Cronulla riots, Zanetti created a swimsuit enabling Muslim women to swim comfortably while adhering to modesty standards. Her company, Ahiida, owns the trademarks for "burkini" and "burqini," though the terms are now widely used generically. Users and countries that adopts burkini The burkini is primarily worn by Muslim women who seek to maintain modesty and religious principles while enjoying swimming or beach activities. It has majorly been used in countries with significant Muslim populations, such as the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Western countries like the UK, France, Australia, and Canada have also seen growing adoption of Burkinis particularly among Muslim communities. Some women also choose burkinis for sun protection, body confidence, or personal comfort while swimming. Controversies and bans around the world The burkini has faced bans in several countries. The bans have sparked debates over freedom, religion, and gender. In 2016, French municipality Cannes banned burkinis, citing secularism and security concerns which led to fines and public confrontations. Critics, including Human Rights Watch, called these bans discriminatory. Similar restrictions emerged in Morocco, Germany, and Switzerland, though some were overturned for violating equality principles. These controversies highlight the debate around religion, secularism, personal choice and freedom of clothing. Syria's new directive regarding swimwear on beaches Syria's 2025 decree reflects a shift toward stricter modesty regulations under its interim government, led by Ahmed al-Sharaa. The rule mandates burkinis or modest swimwear in public spaces with cover-ups required outside swimming areas. Men must also wear shirts when not swimming. The directive's lack of clear enforcement mechanisms has raised concerns about monitoring and penalties, with mixed reactions from Syrian women. Social and cultural implications The burkini symbolises diverse narratives: empowerment for women seeking modesty, oppression for those who view it as enforced control. In Syria, the decree has divided opinions. Some see it as morally respectful, while others fear it restricts personal freedom. Globally, Burkini has sparked discussions on feminism and secularism as well as cultural identity.

'The team had the adrenaline of the players who had won the Scudetto and the Coppa Italia.' 'Now, the coach and the players have to digest the title that slipped from their fingers narrowly.'

Advertisement 'The guys are motivated,' said the Vice-President. 'Unfortunately, everything happened right at the end of the season.'

'We hope for a happy ending,' Zanetti added. 'We can only praise this group that's reach two Champions League finals in three years.'

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is going to launch in India soon: Specs, features, price and other details tipped
It is no secret that Samsung is working to bring a new entry to the Galaxy S25 line-up. During the Unpacked 2025 event, the company launched the S25, S25+ and S25 Ultra, and it also teased the S25 Edge. While the launch only shared a glimpse of the upcoming phone, Samsung unveiled the Edge's design in full glory during the MWC 2025. It showcased a slim profile, shiny rear panel and a dual-camera panel. advertisementAnd now, it looks like the official announcement poster has been tipped. The leaked teaser is aligned with the previous rumours that the Galaxy S25 Edge will debut on May 13. But is the launch date the same for India? Here is what rumours say. Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge launch in IndiaThe latest promotional poster leak has further emphasised that the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge will launch on May 13. But when will it arrive in India? The answer is still divided. While a few previous reports claimed that the company is only targeting a few regions with limited production of the S25 Edge. That said, the phone has been spotted on the BIS certification site, which indicates an imminent India launch. However, Samsung might take a little extra time to release the Galaxy S25 Edge in Since the company has not revealed the official launch date, we can only anticipate. Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge: Key specs and featuresAt just 5.84mm thick, the Samsung S25 Edge is poised to become the slimmest smartphone the company has ever produced. Although it may be ever so slightly bulkier than the rumoured iPhone 17 Air, early impressions suggest it maintains the cutting-edge performance expected from a premium flagship. To complement its sleek aesthetic, Samsung is believed to be using a titanium frame — renowned for being lightweight, highly durable, and scratch-resistant.A leaked hands-on video has already revealed the handset in three refined colourways: Titanium Icy Blue, Titanium Jet Black, and Titanium Silver, each lending the device a touch of understated the hood, the S25 Edge is expected to be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset — the same high-performance processor used throughout the S25 series — paired with 12GB of RAM. This hardware combination should deliver effortless multitasking and fluid performance, whether you're engaging in mobile gaming or running resource-intensive only area that might raise eyebrows is the battery. With a 4,000mAh capacity, it doesn't quite rival the power packs of larger handsets, yet squeezing such a cell into a device this slim is arguably a remarkable engineering achievement. In terms of photography, the S25 Edge is likely to feature a dual-camera setup, led by a 200-megapixel primary sensor, while a 12-megapixel front-facing camera is expected to handle selfie Galaxy S25 Edge: Expected priceadvertisementLeaked pricing information from Italian retailer Zanetti suggests that the Galaxy S25 Edge will rank as the second-priciest model in Samsung's upcoming S25 range. According to online listings, the 256GB version is expected to retail at 1,362 Euro (approximately Rs 1,28,300), with the 512GB model coming in at 1,488 Euro (around Rs 1,40,200). These figures exceed earlier European pricing forecasts and place the S25 Edge roughly 100 Euro above the Galaxy S25+.As anticipated, the Galaxy S25 Ultra retains its position as the flagship's most expensive offering. Interestingly, similar pricing structures appear to be mirrored in South Korea, where the S25 Edge also falls squarely between the Plus and Ultra models. Unlike the Ultra, however, the S25 Edge is not expected to come with a 1TB storage Watch
