'Whatever Russia is testing, it's sophisticated': 2 Russian satellites get within 10 feet of each other in orbit

United Launch Alliance (ULA) will launch another batch of Amazon's internet satellites to orbit early Thursday morning (July 2), and you can watch it live.An Atlas V rocket carrying 29 Amazon Leo spacecraft is scheduled to lift off from Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Thursday, during a 29-minute window that opens at 12:24 a.m. EDT (0424 GMT).You can watch it live here at Space.com courtesy of ULA, or directly via the company. Coverage will begin at around midnight EDT (0400 GMT). A United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket lifts off from Florida’s Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on May 29, 2026 carrying 29 satellites for the Amazon Leo broadband constellation. (Image credit: United Launch Alliance)Amazon Leo is the company's broadband megaconstellation in low Earth orbit (hence the name), which will eventually consist of about 3,200 satellites. It will compete with SpaceX's Starlink network, which has nearly 11,000 satellites at present and is growing all the time.About 370 Amazon Leo craft have reached orbit on a total of 14 missions to date, atop three different rockets — the Atlas V, SpaceX's Falcon 9 and Arianespace's Ariane 6.The Atlas V has been the most active of this trio, conducting 8 of the liftoffs for the megaconstellation, which was originally known as Project Kuiper. (The first of those Atlas V launches lofted two prototype satellites, not operational craft, which explains why Thursday's mission is called Amazon Leo 8 rather than Amazon Leo 9.)The Atlas V flying on Amazon Leo 8 is the 551, the most powerful variant of the rocket. The numbers mean that it sports five solid rocket boosters, a 5-meter-wide (16.5 feet) payload fairing and a Centaur upper stage with a single engine.The 29 Amazon Leo satellites going up on Thursday weigh a total of about 18 tons, tying the record for the heaviest load ever launched by an Atlas V. That mark was set on the Amazon Leo 5 mission in early April and has been equaled multiple times since.

What is Israel's C-MUSIC air defence system? Technology protecting Qatar's royal aircraft

Israel has sold air defense systems and computerized battle helmets for F-15 jets, have been sold to Qatar and Saudi Arabia, according to international reports. Notably, both these Gulf states maintain no diplomatic ties with Tel Aviv. The air defense system from Israel, known as C-MUSIC, have also been used for the jets of the Royals of Qatar.Qatari royal jets fitted with Israeli laser defence systemAccording to a report published by the Haaretz news site on Sunday, three aircraft belonging to Qatar's royal family, out of a fleet of 11, have been fitted with Elbit Systems' C-MUSIC air defence technology.The installations reportedly took place between 2020 and 2022 while the planes underwent maintenance work in Basel, Switzerland. The findings were based on an analysis of publicly available photographs of the aircraft.Notably, the report highlighted that when Qatar's Emir, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, travelled to Tehran last year, his aircraft was reportedly equipped with the Israeli-made defence system at the time, despite Iran's status as one of Israel's principal regional adversaries.How does the C-MUSIC system workC-MUSIC operates using a sophisticated radar mechanism designed to detect and track incoming man-portable air-defence systems, commonly known as MANPADs, which are shoulder-fired surface-to-air missiles.Once a threat is identified, the system deploys a high-powered laser beam to deflect the incoming projectile away from the aircraft.The technology is reportedly straightforward to operate, requiring no specialised training for crew, and can be installed in multiple locations across an aircraft's frame.Beyond its reported use on Qatari royal jets, the same system is also deployed on Wings of Zion, the official aircraft used by Israel's prime minister, as well as on the French presidential plane, among other government aircraft worldwide.JHMCS helmets and night vision gear supplied to Qatar and Saudi ArabiaThe Haaretz investigation also examined contractual documentation tied to a 2017 agreement between the United States and Qatar for the sale of F-15QA Ababil fighter jets. According to the report, Israeli defence firms secured subcontracts worth an estimated $150 to $250 million to supply advanced components and systems for the warplanes.Among the items reportedly supplied were 160 Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System, or JHMCS, units, each valued at approximately $200,000, alongside AN/AVS-9 night vision goggles.The JHMCS helmets are a piece of advanced headgear that projects flight data directly onto the pilot's visor, enabling them to track and engage targets with greater precision and speed.A similar pattern was reportedly identified in Saudi Arabia's defence procurement. Citing a 2010 statement from the US Department of Defense connected to a Boeing contract for the sale of F-15SA jets, the report noted that Riyadh received 462 JHMCS helmets and an equal number of night vision goggles, matching the models supplied to Qatar.Online footage reviewed as part of the investigation reportedly shows the helmets being actively used by Saudi pilots, according to Times of Israel.Israel's complicated relationship with Gulf defence tiesBoth Saudi Arabia and Qatar maintain no formal diplomatic relations or openly acknowledged defence cooperation with Israel. Nevertheless, in the period preceding the Hamas-led attack on 7 October 2023, there had been considerable speculation that Riyadh was weighing the possibility of normalising ties with Israel, potentially following the framework established by the US-brokered Abraham Accords with other Arab nations.Qatar, by contrast, is generally viewed with greater suspicion within Israel. Doha's longstanding support for Hamas, which has included years of monthly cash transfers officially designated for fuel purchases intended to ease economic strain within the Gaza Strip, has become a contentious issue domestically, particularly as critics scrutinised Qatar's role throughout the war in Ga

SC disposes of plea after CBSE frames new policy for Class XII students in West Asia

The current batches of classes 7, 8, and 9 who have already taken two foreign languages would continue with the same with one additional native Indian Language (Bhartiya Bhasha), revised guidelines issued by Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) said.In a circular issued in May, CBSE had stated that students in Class 9 too will have to adopt three language policy where two of three languages they learn should be native to India. Following this, parents of students who were learning foreign languages like French, German, Japanese, Spanish and so on and were asked to switch mid session had protested at the abrupt switch.Union Minister of Education Dharmendra Pradhan had stated last week that students in Class 7, 8, 9 who have taken foreign languages could continue their studies in their respective selected options.The current batch of class ten will not have to follow the new language policy, the education board stated.The current batches studying in class 7, 8, 9 would not be required to give board examination in third language when they progress to Class 10, the statement further added.The grade appropriate resource material would be made available in a time bound manner.The National Education Policy 2020 recommends learning three languages, with at least two o fthe three languages being native to India.“While CBSE aims to equip learners with competence in multiple Bhartiya Bhashas (native Indian languages) and promote the vibrancy of language learning, it is equally committed to ensuring that the process of learning and growth remains balanced,” CBSE said in its press statement on Monday (June 29, 2026).Further, the introduction of the third language (R3) in Secondary Stage (Class 9 and Class 10, is an extension of language learning from the Middle Stage (Classes 6 to 8).In pursuance of the above objectives, it is considered necessary to issue guidelines regarding the implementation of the Language Policy in CBSE-affiliated schools with effect from the Academic Session 2026–27.CBSE has reiterated that there will be no change for students who are in Class X during 2026–27, and they will continue with the old system of two languages. No third language is required to be taken by this batch.Every student in Class 9 would study three languages. Out of these three languages, at least two would be Bhartiya Bhashas. Examples of Bhartiya Bhashas: Hindi, Sanskrit, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Bengali, Punjabi, Gujarati, Odia, Assamese, etc.Examples of non-native languages are English, French, German, Arabic, Spanish, etc. The following situations will help clarify the doubts, if any, in the minds of students in Class IX, CBSE has stated.Situation 1: You already study two Bhartiya Bhashas. Example: Hindi + TamilYou can choose as your third language:Another Bhartiya BhashaORA non-native language such as English or French.Situation 2: You study one Bhartiya Bhasha and one non-native languageExample: Tamil + EnglishYou can choose any Bhartiya Bhasha as third language (R3).Situation 3: You study two non-native languagesExample: English + FrenchAs a special one-time relaxation for students who are already in Class IX during 2026-27, you may continue with those two non-native languages and need to add one Bhartiya Bhasha as your third language (R3).For Class nine, the third language (R3) will be assessed by your school through an internal school-based assessment only. There will be no CBSE Board examination for this third language when this batch progresses to Class X 2027-28, CBSE has stated.CBSE and NCERT will provide grade-appropriate learning resources to help students learn the third language, the press release states.“For students who are in Class VII or VIII in 2026-27, when you reach Class IX and X, you will continue studying three languages, with two of them being Bhartiya Bhashas.There is relaxation for the current batch of Class 7 (2026-27) and Class 8 (2026-27), the students who have already selected and start

TikTok now wants to be the place you book the trip you just saw on TikTok

Although TikTok is widely described as a social media giant, it’s been gradually moving beyond that category. Over time, the video app added TikTok Shop, a map for local discovery, robust search, games, and so much more. Recently, it’s added hotel booking capabilities and is pursuing a fintech license. It appears that TikTok is taking steps to evolve into a “super app,” a single platform where users can do much more than just watch and share videos and that can actually handle a wide range of needs in one destination. The super app model is big in China with apps like WeChat, which is kind of like Facebook, WhatsApp, Apple Pay, and an app store all rolled into a single platform. Of course, there’s the question of whether a super app model would work outside of China, but that doesn’t mean TikTok won’t try. Instead of switching between apps, TikTok is working to become the app that people use for most of their digital activities. After taking its biggest leap with TikTok Shop, the company — which, notably, transitioned to new, primarily U.S. ownership back in January — has applied the same playbook to recent developments. Sports Image Credits:TechCrunch/Screenshot Over the years, TikTok has steadily been looking to become a place where users can come to for sports highlights and content. In early June, the company launched a dedicated hub for the FIFA World Cup where users can see scores, match schedules, standings, trending videos, highlights, videos from players, and more. If people are already watching videos on TikTok but want to keep up with the score, they can do so without leaving the app or opening a dedicated sports news app or Google. The World Cup hub was made possible through TikTok’s Sports-focused product called “TikTok GamePlan,” which is designed to allow sports teams, leagues, and broadcasters to drive discovery and engagement on the platform. The social media giant also has partnerships with Major League Soccer (MLS) and Major League Baseball (MLB) for behind-the-scenes and exclusive content. Hotel and attraction booking Image Credits:TikTok In May, TikTok launched TikTok GO, a way for users to discover and book hotels, attractions, and experiences directly within its app in the United States. TikTok GO surfaces lodging and things to do through videos, search, and location pages. When users find something they’re interested in, they can view details, check availability, and complete a booking. Instead of directing users to third-party websites after they find a destination or recommendation in a video, TikTok has started positioning itself as a one-stop platform where viral travel content can drive bookings and revenue. While people have already been using TikTok as a search engine and replacement for Google, this latest step puts TikTok in more direct competition with Google’s core businesses, Search and Google Maps, because it’s working to not only be the app where you discover places, but also the platform where you purchase that trip. Payments Image Credits:Just_Super / Getty Images In March, Reuters reported that TikTok had applied to Brazil’s central bank for approval to operate as a financial technology company offering lending and payment services. The company is seeking two licenses. The first would allow it to provide prepaid accounts so users can store funds, receive money, and make payments. The second license would authorize it to operate as a direct credit provider, allowing it to lend its own capital or function as a platform that connects borrowers and lenders. The move marks a significant way that TikTok is branching out beyond a social media platform and into a digital ecosystem. By aiming to bring financial services into its app, TikTok is looking to increase user engagement, open new revenue streams, and position itself to compete with fintech startups and e-commerce platforms. TikTok Shop Image Credits:TikTok It’s widely known that one of TikTok’s biggest leaps beyond

Croatia’s talismanic captain Luka Modric dangled out a leg and caught Noni Madueke in the box.Kane saw his unconvincing penalty saved by Dominik Livakovic, only for French referee Clement Turpin to order a retake after video replays deemed the stopper had come off his line.Turpin once sent off Tuchel in the Champions League and the referee taking charge of the game had been highlighted by English media this week.Bayern Munich predator Kane held his nerve second time around, again going to Livakovic’s left but this time in more ruthless fashion to give England the lead after 12 minutes.Now it was all England, and Real Madrid midfielder Bellingham – preferred to Morgan Rogers in the number 10 role – surged upfield, forcing Livakovic to smother.Jude Bellingham of England, centre, celebrates after scoring his team’s third goal with Harry Kane, left, and Noni Madueke, right, during the Croatia match [Marvin Ibo Guengoer/Getty Images]Loud boos rang out for the drinks break, given the match was under a roof and not the unforgiving Texas sun.On the half-hour England should have gone 2-0 up, Bellingham narrowly failing to make contact with Madueke’s delicious low cross.On 36 minutes Croatia drew level.England squandered the ball in midfield, then Petar Sucic left John Stones on the floor with some neat footwork to set up Baturina.The 23-year-old met the ball first time and whipped it past Jordan Pickford, who got a hand to the ball.Zlatko Dalic’s side were level for just six minutes as a Declan Rice corner found Kane unmarked and the captain nodded home.It took skipper Kane to 10 World Cup goals, the most of any England player along with Gary Lineker.Tuchel, who has made it clear that winning the World Cup is his aim, barely smiled.Putting the seal on a frenetic first half, Musa took advantage of more poor England defending in the fifth minute of injury time to stroke the ball in from close range for 2-2.The second half started just as the first ended — with a goal — as Bellingham galloped down the right unchallenged and rolled the ball into the corner.Kane and Nico O’Reilly twice each, and Bellingham, had good chances for a 4-2 lead as England pummelled the Croatia goal.With 15 minutes left and England retreating, Croatia had several opportunities, before Rashford mad

Centre suspends Cell Broadcasting Services

Supreme Court of India. File | Photo Credit: S. Subramanium The Supreme Court on Monday (June 15, 2026) sought responses from the Centre and the Punjab government on a plea alleging failure to implement the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009 (2009 Act) in Punjab, particularly the mandate under Section 12(1)(c) requiring private unaided schools to reserve 25% of entry-level seats for children from weaker sections and disadvantaged groups.Also read | The RTE Act and the idea of social inclusionAt the outset of the hearing, a Bench of Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and Justice V. Mohana asked the petitioner, who runs an NGO and appeared at the court in person, whether he had conducted any survey to substantiate the allegations.“Have you been able to identify some schools which are not implementing the Act?” the Bench asked.K.S. Raju, the petitioner, submitted that the law remained unimplemented in Punjab for the past 15 years. He further contended that the State’s inaction was in clear breach of the Supreme Court’s 2012 judgment in ‘Society for Unaided Private Schools of Rajasthan v. Union of India’, which upheld the constitutional validity of the 2009 Act.“A minimum of 50,000 students have to be admitted [under the RTE Act]. As per government statistics, nearly two lakh students are admitted every year at the entry level... This is a continuing grievance being agitated,” he said.However, the Bench referred to an affidavit previously filed by the State government, which stated that over 476 students belonging to economically weaker sections had been admitted to private schools. The Chief Justice accordingly asked Mr. Raju to conduct a survey in at least one district to ascertain the number of private schools and how many of them had not complied with the provisions of the Act.“...Conduct at least a one-district survey. Do it for some comparatively backward area. Find out how many private schools there are and how many have refused to implement the Act,” the Bench said.When Mr. Raju submitted that he had filed an RTI application on the issue last year, the Bench remarked that the limitation with RTI responses was that authorities would answer only in accordance with the nature of the questions posed to them.Accordingly, the Bench issued notice on the plea but asked the petitioner to undertake the survey in the meantime and place additional material before the court.The petition seeks directions to the Centre to put in place a transparent mechanism for monitoring compliance with the Section 12 mandate in Punjab, including publicly accessible dashboards to track implementation.Section 12(1)(c) requires private unaided schools to reserve at least 25% of entry-level seats for children belonging to weaker sections and disadvantaged groups and to provide them free and compulsory elementary education until its completion.The plea also seeks directions for putting in place an implementation mechanism in Punjab to give effect to the provision. It calls for the publication of available seats, a notified admission schedule, a reimbursement framework for schools, and action against institutions that fail to comply with the law.

NEET Leak Not Through National Testing Agency System, Its Chief Tells MPs

4 min readMay 22, 2026 11:25 AM IST System movie review: The courtroom thriller directed by Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, released on Amazon Prime Video.System movie review: System is a legal drama bookended by two women, separated by class, but united in their zeal for justice. Neha Rajvansh (Sonakshi Sinha) may be a struggling public prosecutor (sarkaari vakil) but she comes from privilege. Her wealthy father (Ashutosh Gowariker) is a top defence lawyer, and her brother (Adinath Kothare) is following in his footsteps. Dad wants his rebellious beti back where she belongs, but she has to prove her mettle. If she wins ten cases in a row, he declares, she will get entry into his hallowed chambers. At the opposite end of the spectrum is the much-lower-on-pecking-order Sarika Rawat (Jyotika), a court reporter who has learnt enough law to be able to give tips to Neha, especially when she sees the latter fumble. Sarika has a husband who is a wheel-chair user, and a school-going daughter, and she could do with a bit extra on the side, and so the women come to an understanding. It’s pragmatic: Neha needs the help, and Sarika needs the money, so why should anyone have any objections? The fact that it’s not exactly kosher is brushed under the carpet. The strength of Iyer’s film is just this, showing the two women bent upon earning their living their way, and making their choices, right or wrong. The fact that they are sexually independent is also a plus: when Neha tells her lover that he makes her very happy, you are startled, because this is not a statement one comes across in too many mainstream Hindi films. That Sarika has her own little physical fiddle on the side is also a surprise, especially because she handles the trysts in the most matter-of-fact of manner. But the good things don’t last. Confusion arises soon enough when Neha, who seems perfectly happy trying her hand at defending people who do need help, as opposed to the wealthy who hide under the convenient loophole — it’s not just enough to be guilty, but proven to be guilty beyond reasonable doubt — suddenly seems to want be part of daddy’s camp. Whatever happened to the vaunted independence? The cases also seem to be summarily fought and disposed off, from a fire in a restaurant which claims an innocent life, to the murder of a famous influencer: it’s almost as if Neha is ticking off the numbers of cases just to be able to cross over to the other side, with a sidekick (Aatam Prakash Mishra, who had a lot to do in ‘Criminal Justice’ series) and is here reduced to delivering pointedly funny lines which call attention to themselves. And then, of course, when daddy’s rich builder pal (Vijayant Kohli) is in the dock, Neha goes off sleuthing – why do feisty female lawyers in Hindi movies wade into unknown territory without batting an eyelid? Not only do they jump into these spaces, they also come up triumphantly with answers. Old Delhi seems to be the only address for those who are struggling financially, in Bollywood’s imagination; rickshaws miraculously appear late in the night; and my pet peeve, homes invariably look like decorated sets. The contrivances do not end here: the climactic confrontation, in which the killer is revealed, is nothing but an eye roll.Story continues below this ad System movie cast: Sonakshi Sinha, Jyotika, Ashutosh Gowariker, Adinath Kothare, Vijayant Kohli , Aatam Prakash Mishra System movie director: Ashwini Iyer Tiwari System movie rating: 2.5 stars

NITI Aayog releases Policy Report on School Education System in India

3 min readNew DelhiUpdated: May 9, 2026 07:56 AM IST During investigation, police said the accused was identified by the child and arrested on the same day. (File Photo)A three-year old student has been allegedly raped by the caretaker of a school in West Delhi. After the arrest of the accused, he was granted bail by a court on May 7, said police. An FIR was lodged into the incident on May 1, when the girl’s mother filed a police complaint, alleging that her daughter was sexually assaulted during school hours by an unknown male staff member of the school.The accused was booked under Section 64 (1) of the BNS, which pertains to punishing rape with rigorous imprisonment not less than 10 years as well as Section 6 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, which covers aggravated penetrative sexual assault. During investigation, police said the accused was identified by the child and arrested on the same day. “The accused was promptly arrested and subsequently remanded to judicial custody. However, the accused was granted bail on Tuesday… despite strong opposition from the prosecution,” DCP (West) Darade Sharad Bhaskar said. Additional Sessions Judge (ASJ) Rohit Gulia of Dwarka Court, in his order dated May 7, said, “…it has been shown that the applicant/accused had left the junior wing of the school at around 8.37 am and had not returned back thereafter and moreover, the applicant/accused had joined the investigation when he was called by the police authorities…” “…there is nothing on record which could suggest that the applicant accused had ever tried to flee or interfere in the investigation of the case in any manner whatsoever. Further, the Investigating Officer admitted that the alleged crime scene had been investigated by the crime team and relevant articles seized, including the DVRs of the CCTV cameras… moreover, teachers of the junior wing of the school have been examined,” he added.Story continues below this ad The ASJ said that it was clear that there was no “requirement of keeping the accused behind bars for long”. “…without commenting upon the merits or demerits of the case, the applicant/accused… is admitted to bail,” he added. The defense counsel had argued that the accused was not present at the junior wing of the school when the crime allegedly took place. The DCP said the police are examining the court order and taking legal opinion to decide further course of action. According to the police, the victim’s statement was recorded before the court under Section 183 of the BNSS, and crucial evidence, including CCTV and DVR footage, was seized.
