I’ve seen them play before.’…”As the two continue to make headlines for their date nights in New York City, billions of fans are waiting to see their wedding photos as the two have stepped up their security measures for the same.

MUMBAI: Caught between a slowing economy and the threat of fresh price hikes due to conflict in West Asia, the RBI on Friday left the repo rate unchanged at 5.25%, cut its growth forecast for fiscal 2027 and raised inflation estimates, while signaling that inflation risks could spread beyond fuel and commodities to the entire economy if supply-side pressures persist.Governor Sanjay Malhotra refrained from tightening policy but left no doubt that the central bank is wary of “normalizing” inflation. While high oil prices and disrupted supply chains have already begun to drive up costs, the Monetary Policy Committee preferred to wait for more clarity on the duration and intensity of the conflict before taking action.“Although the impact of cost pressures is beginning to be visible, further disruptions are likely to weigh on economic activity, including increases in energy and other input prices,” the governor said.The MPC voted unanimously to keep the policy repo rate unchanged at 5.25% and maintain the neutral stance. The decision reflects an effort by the central bank to balance inflation risks against emerging signs of a slowdown in economic activity. Citing the deteriorating global environment, the RBI has reduced its growth forecast for fiscal year 2027 to 6.6% from the earlier estimated 6.9%. Quarterly growth is now estimated at 6.6% in Q1, 6.3% in Q2, 6.5% in Q3 and 6.8% in Q4. The downgrade marks the RBI’s acknowledgment that the economic fallout from the conflict is no longer limited to energy markets. “Disruptions in global supply chains, volatility in global financial markets and weather-related shocks are posing downside risks to the domestic growth outlook,” Governor Malhotra said.The inflation outlook has deteriorated further. The RBI raised its FY27 CPI inflation forecast to 5.1% from 4.6%, a 50-basis-point revision that largely reflects the rise in crude oil prices. The Indian basket has averaged around $110 a barrel over the past two months, much higher than the $85 assumption used in the April policy review. Malhotra hinted at policy action if prices remain stable. Food inflation is further threatened by a weak monsoon-El Nino combination. RBI now sees inflation at 4.2% in Q1, 5.1% in Q2, 5.9% in Q3 and 5.4% in Q4, with core inflation at 4.7%. At present, Mint Road is on fire. But if input-cost inflation spreads and expectations tighten, growth support could be helpful in fighting inflation. The RBI argued that India is entering this turmoil with stronger fundamentals than previous oil shocks and is ready to readjust policy as the situation evolves.

JD Vance’s sharp comment on Britain in the case of stabbing of Vikram Digva has created controversy.

vice president JD Vance Expressed concern over the stabbing of British student Henry Novak by Sikh man Vikram Digva and blamed mass migration for it. Holding the police and the government responsible for the stabbing, after which the victim was handcuffed by police because DeGwa lied that Novak had racially attacked him, Vance said he feared Novak would not be the last. Vance’s social media post comes a day after the US State Department said two-tier policing is a clear symptom of civilizational decline. “Ideological conditioning and two-tier policing are clear symptoms of civilizational decline,” it posted on the department’s official account on Thursday. “They should be rejected throughout the West.”“Henry Novak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared about him, and accused him of hate crimes he did not commit. His murder is as sad as it is infuriating. JD Vance posted, “He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood up against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of immigrants, many of whom hate the West and the people who love it.”“Henry was far from the first to lose his life unnecessarily, and I fear he will not be the last. Every time a life like his is lost, the appropriate response – the only response – is righteous anger. One of the most important things the Trump administration has proven to the world is that stemming the flow of mass migration and protecting national sovereignty is a matter of political will and leadership. Anything more than that is an excuse,” the vice president wrote.“It’s because we love the West that we want to preserve it. We love our civilization. We love our country. We love our children. And no one – no one – should have to die the way Henry Novak died. May God console those who loved him and may his soul rest in peace.”“Two-tier policing” is a political term used primarily by critics in the UK, who argue that police enforce the law differently depending on a person’s political views, ethnicity, religion or social group.As Elon Musk continues to post about the Ax stabbing case, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer accused Musk of interfering in UK politics.

Mumbai: a 60 year old man welfare The resident’s routine cataract surgery turned into a race to save his eyesight after doctors revealed he had an unusual form of an autoimmune disease called rheumatoid arthritis (RA).RA is a condition in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the lining of the joints. But in the case of Subhash Pardikar, a former Kalyan Municipal Corporation employee, there were no joint-related symptoms.Pardikar underwent cataract surgery in both eyes at a local eye hospital in February. One eye healed normally, while the other continued to have redness, pain, and swelling. After treatment with antibiotics for a month, his ophthalmologist referred him to a senior doctor in Dadar. “The doctor in Dadar took a look at my right eye and asked me to consult a rheumatologist,” Pardikar said.Tests revealed that Pardikar’s RA markers were highly positive. Dr Snehal Patil, a rheumatologist at Fortis Hospital in Kalyan, who treated him, said, “His rheumatoid factor was elevated and RA-related antibody (anti-CCP) was more than 500. Yet he had none of the classic RA symptoms like swollen joints, prolonged morning stiffness or limited movement.”Pardikar said that four-five years ago he suffered from intermittent joint pain. “But the symptoms disappeared after a few months of Ayurvedic treatment,” he said.Dr. Patil diagnosed him with RA-associated autoimmune peripheral ulcerative keratitis, a rare but potentially blinding inflammatory eye condition. “Autoimmune diseases don’t always exist in textbook form. In some patients, rheumatological conditions can affect organs such as the eyes before other symptoms appear,” the doctor said.Dr. Sumeet Lahane of Raghunath Nethralaya and MGM College, Navi Mumbai said autoimmune peripheral ulcerative keratitis remains a rare but serious condition. “It is associated with thinning of the cornea and loss of vision. In the early stages, it can be difficult to diagnose,” he said.Dr. Lahane, who sees five to six such patients annually, said that once the diagnosis is made, treatment is easy. “In advanced cases, a patient may require a corneal graft,” he said.Pardikar also had a severely melted cornea, with his eye doctors using “tissue glue” to save his cornea. Dr. Patil started him on intravenous steroids, followed by oral steroids and an immunosuppressant drug called cyclophosphamide. Over the next few weeks, the swelling went down, the corneal damage stabilized and healing gradually began.

Ujjain: mortal remains of Manzoor AhmedThe 50-year-old Indian, who does tailoring for a living in the Gulf, arrived at his Raj Royal Enclave residence in Ujjain late on Thursday night, a day after he was killed in a suspected Iranian missile attack at Kuwait International Airport.Resting in a coffin, his remains were flown by a passenger flight from Kuwait to Ahmedabad airport, before being taken by road in an ambulance to his hometown, said his brother-in-law, who had gone to collect his body at the airport.The coffin was opened briefly before being shouldered to his residence. His widow Farida, sitting among the mourners at home, cried after taking one last look at her husband, who was about to return under much happier circumstances for a family wedding.After his tearful return home, his family calmed him down and prepared to give him the last rites.A funeral procession was taken out in the presence of a large number of community members before he was buried at the Begambagh cemetery.According to family members, Manzoor’s brother-in-law… Mohammad IsmailAlong with two other persons, he reached Ahmedabad airport in an ambulance to collect his body. “We had to wait for some time after the final remains arrived as some formalities had to be taken care of before handing over,” his brother-in-law told TOI.After this, on Friday afternoon, the body was taken to Raj Royal Enclave of Ujjain via Nagda.Firoz Pathan, a family member, alleged that no official from the local administration came to express condolences to the bereaved family, adding, “We raised Rs 27,000 to arrange for an ambulance to bring them home.” Congress leader of opposition in Ujjain Municipal Corporation Ravi Ray spoke to the collector, who assured help. No government official has yet come forward to assure financial help to the family. The government should show more sensitivity and stand with the grieving family.A crowd of mourners, including his widowed mother Shamim Bano, daughters Saba Parveen and Sana Parveen, son Mohammad Anas and other relatives, were waiting for his coffin. Within minutes of his coffin reaching home, the family members got busy in the last rites process.His cousin Munnawar Hussain Rahmani told TOI that Javed, an acquaintance who runs Malang Al Zaid, a tailoring shop in Kuwait where Manzoor worked, provided monetary assistance in bringing his last remains back to India.His friend from Kuwait, Mohammad Hanif Qureshi, a native of Hammal Wadi, Ujjain, also attended his funeral. Hanif, who runs a perfume business in Kuwait, said, “We used to meet almost every day in Kuwait. Since I am also from Ujjain, he had special affection for me. Since I was preparing to return to Ujjain in April, amidst the worsening (West Asian) conflict, I asked him to accompany me. However, he decided not to do so, citing the increased costs of flying at the time.““I was shocked to learn of his death in a tragic incident,” he said.Not only family members and relatives, but also residents of the neighborhood turned out in large numbers to attend his last rites, each in turn shouldering the bier for some time for a distance of about 100 metres. Subsequently, his remains were placed in a vehicle and taken to the cemetery, about 4 km away.

Hyderabad: Former Irrigation Minister T Harish Rao criticized the Chief Minister Revanth Reddy On his remarks on Krishna water usage, he alleged that the Chief Minister lacked even basic awareness about his government’s performance in security. TelanganaWater rights.Harish Rao said it was unfortunate not only for Palamuru but for the entire state that the CM was unaware of the actual utilization of Krishna water during his tenure.“A chief minister who lacks such basic understanding is a serious threat to the water rights of Telangana,” he said.Harish Rao, who wrote a letter to CM Revanth Reddy on Krishna water, questioned the Irrigation Minister. Uttam Kumar Reddy Also, were both the leaders unaware of the contents of the official communication issued by their respective governments?Harish Rao informed that on May 2, 2026, Telangana Engineer-in-Chief (General) had officially written to the Krishna River Management Board. According to the letter, Andhra Pradesh 74.23 per cent of the available Krishna water was utilized, while Telangana utilized only 25.77 per cent.He alleged that despite portraying himself as the son of Palamuru, Revanth Reddy has done virtually nothing for the undivided Mahabubnagar district during the last two and a half years.“The CM is only spreading lies and half-truths to divert attention from the failures of his government,” the former irrigation minister said.He accused the Congress government of betraying Palamuru by failing to complete the Palamuru-Rangareddy Lift Irrigation Scheme, which is designed to irrigate 12.30 lakh acres and provide drinking water to 1,226 villages.Harish Rao reminded that Revanth Reddy and the Congress party had opposed the project from the beginning and had filed cases which had delayed its progress.Despite these obstacles, he said, the BRS government successfully defended the project and expedited its execution. He said despite repeated attempts to create hurdles and instigate farmers against the project, the BRS government had acquired 27,191 acres of land for the Palamuru-Rangareddy project.He challenged the Congress government to tell how much land it had acquired for the project in the last two and a half years.“Wasting 30 months and then waking up after the government is halfway through its tenure to talk about land acquisition proposals is nothing short of shameful,” he said.End/

Trial of world’s first AI-designed vaccine begins in Oxford

A vaccine designed with the help of artificial intelligence has entered human trials in what scientists are calling a world first for medical research and drug development.The vaccine, developed by researchers at the University of Oxford in partnership with biotechnology company Basecamp Research, is being tested against a disease called Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF), a potentially deadly virus that is primarily spread by tick bites. Researchers believe this project could demonstrate how AI can dramatically speed up the process of creating vaccines and treatments for emerging infectious diseases.The trial is an important step forward for a technology that many experts believe could reshape the future of medicine, reducing years of laboratory research to months, while helping scientists respond more quickly to global health threats.The vaccine has been developed to protect against Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, a disease that causes severe bleeding, organ failure and, in some cases, death.The virus is found in parts of Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe and is considered one of the priority pathogens with pandemic potential by the World Health Organization. Mortality rates can reach 40% in severe outbreaks, and there is currently no widely approved vaccine available for human use.The researchers chose CCHF because it represents exactly the type of emerging infectious threat that may be difficult to deal with using traditional vaccine development methods. The virus also evolves and varies in different regions, making it a challenging target for scientists.The Oxford-led team hopes the new vaccine can provide broad protection against multiple strains of the virus, improving preparedness for future outbreaks.Unlike traditional vaccine development, which often relies on years of laboratory experimentation, the new approach used artificial intelligence to analyze large amounts of genetic and biological data.Basecamp Research, which specializes in using AI to study biological information, supplied one of the world’s largest databases of genetic sequences collected from ecosystems around the world. The machine-learning system then examined these datasets to identify the parts of the virus that are most likely to trigger a strong immune response.Scientists used that information to design vaccine components capable of targeting multiple versions of the virus simultaneously.The researchers say the AI ​​was not responsible for creating or testing the vaccine, but played a key role in identifying promising targets far more quickly than traditional methods.The project demonstrates how artificial intelligence can act as a powerful research tool, helping scientists discover hidden patterns within huge datasets that would be difficult for humans alone to analyze.The first phase of clinical trials is currently underway oxford vaccine Group, part of the University of Oxford.The study will primarily investigate whether the vaccine is safe and whether it produces the desired immune response in healthy volunteers. Early-stage trials are designed to assess safety before researchers move on to larger studies testing effectiveness.Professor Dame Sarah Gilbert, whose work on the Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine brought her international prominence during the pandemic, has highlighted the potential of AI-assisted vaccine development to speed up the response to future disease outbreaks.Researchers involved in the project say the trial represents the first known example of a vaccine reaching human testing through this type of AI-driven biological discovery process.Scientists believe that the importance of this project goes beyond that of a disease.Traditional vaccine development can take years of laboratory work, data collection and testing before a candidate reaches human testing. By identifying promising biological targets much earlier, AI can help reduce both costs and development timelines.Researchers say this technology could prove particularly valuable in tackling emerging diseases, pandemic threats and viruses that currently receive limited scientific attention due to funding or logistical challenges.The experience of the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated the importance of rapid vaccine development. Many experts now see artificial intelligence as one of the most promising tools to prepare the world for future health emergencies.While the Oxford trial is in its early stages and many hurdles remain before any vaccine can reach approval, the project has already achieved something important. For the first time, a vaccine designed with the help of artificial intelligence has gone from computer models and biological databases into the arms of human volunteers.If successful, it could mark the beginning of a new chapter in medicine, where algorithms help scientists design vaccines that protect future generations.
