The All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi, is taking a landmark step toward introducing face transplantation, a highly advanced and complex reconstructive procedure.

President Donald Trump has said that a change in power in Iran "would be the best thing that could happen" as the US administration weighs whether to take military action against Tehran.

"In case we don't make a deal, we'll need it," Trump told reporters about the second carrier. Having two carriers will double the number of aircraft and munitions that are available to military planners and Trump. The USS Ford, meanwhile, first set sail in late June 2025, which means the crew will soon have been deployed for eight months.

So that’s why he wanted to go in for a Panchsheel Agreement, probably,” Chauhan said. The international boundary in the Northeast was drawn at the tripartite Simla Convention of 1913-1914 by British India, Tibet and China. Independent India, the CDS said, was keen to build a good relationship with China and Beijing also wanted stability in the area after its “so-called” liberation of Tibet. “In 1954, India recognised Tibet as part of China; both countries signed the Panchsheel Agreement. According to him, after China occupied Tibet and India supported China’s permanent membership of the United Nations, the “Himalayan buffer” between India and Tibet “evaporated” and converted into a border.

ADVERTISEMENTWith Zimbabwe stunning Australia in Colombo on Friday, England have all the more reasons to be wary of Scotland when they take the field here on Saturday.

Calcutta is not new to the countries’ sporting rivalry, having hosted a few of their rugby matches in the 1870s. It meant being really, really smart.

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Friday that reforms, whether implemented through the annual budget or outside it, are gaining momentum, positioning India to drive global growth and emerge as the world’s new economic engine. Speaking at the ET Now Global Business Summit 2026, Modi said the FY27 budget, with its emphasis on capital expenditure and technology, has further accelerated the “reform express”. The prime minister noted that the government has made the budget both outlay- and outcome-centric, while reforms continue outside the budget. Today’s India is prepared to compete globally…India, today, is capable and empowered, and that is why the world trusts us. He added that if freedom fighters had adopted a similar mindset, India would never have gained independence.

For decades, several key government offices and ministries functioned from fragmented and ageing infrastructure spread across multiple locations in the Central Vista area. This dispersion led to operational inefficiencies, coordination challenges, escalating maintenance costs and sub-optimal working environments. The new building complexes address these issues by consolidating administrative functions within modern, future-ready facilities.

Titled "India AI Impact Summit 2026: AI Governance at the Edge of Democratic Backsliding", the report highlights how generative AI has become a tool of the BJP to "demonise" minorities and the use of AI for "indiscriminate mass surveillance" in India.

"Just a week before the India AI Impact Summit, BJP’s Assam unit uploaded an AI-generated video on its official X account, depicting the chief minister of Assam, Himanta Biswa Sarma, shooting at two visibly Muslim men with the title 'No Mercy'.
