Iran claims to have shot down two US MQ-9 drones – shared video

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed its air defense systems shot down a US-made MQ-9 Reaper unmanned aerial vehicle over the central city of Isfahan on Tuesday.In a statement, the IRGC said the long-range drone was “intercepted and destroyed” by an advanced system that forms part of Iran’s integrated air defense network. Iranian local media shared a video claiming the attack, saying, “The moment of impact and explosion of two MQ-9 drones in the airspace of Isfahan last night.”Amid rising tensions in the Middle East, Iran also claimed earlier this week that it had destroyed a US E-3 Sentry surveillance aircraft during a missile and drone attack on Prince Sultan Air Base near Riyadh on March 27. The base, a major hub for US military operations, reportedly suffered significant damage, with at least 12 US service members injured. Images circulated on social media reportedly showed the plane burned, although the claim has not been independently confirmed.Reports identified the aircraft as serial number 81-0005, which was parked on a taxiway at the time of the attack. While it is unclear whether it was directly attacked, according to military website War Zone, defense experts say it could also have been destroyed by a nearby explosion due to shrapnel impact and high risk of fire.

आईएएस रिंकू सिंह राही ने दिया इस्तीफा, सरकार पर लगाए गंभीर आरोप

उत्तर प्रदेश समाचार: रिंकू सिंह राही ने मंगलवार को अपने पद से इस्तीफा दे दिया है. उन्होंने उत्तर प्रदेश सरकार पर गंभीर आरोप लगाते हुए कहा कि उन्हें लंबे समय से कोई पोस्टिंग नहीं दी गई और न ही कोई काम सौंपा गया. अपने इस्तीफे में उन्होंने बताया कि उन्हें लगातार नजरअंदाज किया जा रहा था, जिसके चलते उन्होंने यह कदम उठाया.

राही एसडीएम रहते हुए विवादों में आए थे।
रिंकू सिंह राही वर्ष 2022 बैच के आईएएस अधिकारी हैं। वह शाहजहाँपुर में एसडीएम के पद पर तैनात थे, जहाँ एक घटना के दौरान वह वकीलों के सामने उठक-बैठक करने को लेकर चर्चा में आये थे। इस घटना के बाद राज्य सरकार ने उन्हें राजस्व परिषद से संबद्ध कर दिया. राही का आरोप है कि इस कार्रवाई के बाद उन्हें किनारे कर दिया गया और कोई नई जिम्मेदारी नहीं दी गई.

पीसीएस से बने आईएएस पहले भी सुर्खियों में रहे हैं
आईएएस बनने से पहले रिंकू सिंह राही ने उत्तर प्रदेश लोक सेवा आयोग की परीक्षा उत्तीर्ण कर पीसीएस अधिकारी के रूप में अपनी सेवा शुरू की थी। वह समाज कल्याण अधिकारी के पद पर भी तैनात रहे और अपने काम को लेकर कई बार चर्चा में आये.

घोटाला उजागर हुआ, जानलेवा हमला भी झेलना पड़ा
2009 में मुजफ्फरनगर में तैनाती के दौरान राही ने एक बड़े घोटाले का पर्दाफाश किया था. इसके बाद उन पर जानलेवा हमला हुआ, जिसमें उन्हें सात गोलियां लगीं. गंभीर रूप से घायल होने के बावजूद उन्होंने हार नहीं मानी और अपनी लड़ाई जारी रखी.

अब आगे क्या होगा इस पर नजर रखिए
रिंकू सिंह राही का इस्तीफा प्रशासनिक हलकों में चर्चा का विषय बना हुआ है. उनके आरोपों ने सिस्टम पर सवाल खड़े कर दिए हैं. फिलहाल इस मामले पर सरकार की ओर से कोई आधिकारिक प्रतिक्रिया नहीं आई है. आने वाले समय में देखना होगा कि इस पूरे मामले में क्या नया मोड़ आता है.

“Non-existent evidence…”: Candace Owens questions Charlie Kirk murder investigation amid twist in new court filing

Candace Owens has reignited the debate over the murder of Charlie Kirk after reports claimed the bullet recovered from his body did not match the one from Tyler Robinson’s rifle. He criticized those supporting the case against Robinson, calling the evidence “non-existent”. While investigators cite the alleged confessions, new forensic details have raised new questions and intensified public scrutiny around the trial.

Candace Owens has injected new fuel into an already volatile case by using a new development to call into question the storyline surrounding Tyler Robinson. His reaction didn’t just spark debate. This made it faster. Public attention has once again turned to the murder of charlie kirkOwens decided to confront his critics head on, reviving doubts that many believed had been resolved.What makes this moment different is time. A technical detail of the investigation has reopened a door that seemed almost closed. And now, voices outside the courtroom are shaping how people interpret what is still, at its core, an ongoing legal battle.

Candace Owens hits back at critics after shocking update charlie kirk case

Responding to reports that the bullet recovered from Charlie Kirk’s body could not be matched to the rifle belonging to Tyler Robinson, Candace Owens minced no words. He wrote, “Where are all my neocons who are “overwhelmed” by the non-existent evidence against Tyler Robinson? You should all be ashamed of yourselves. Hope the money was worth your soul.”The post spread quickly, not only because of its tone, but because it highlighted a growing sense of uncertainty around the case. For Owens, the reported mismatch is no minor inconsistency. In his view, this is a sign that the official version of events deserves closer scrutiny.On the other hand, the law is still not very clear. Investigators have already pointed to Robinson’s alleged statements, which were made in online chats and early court hearings. The prosecution’s case still relies heavily on those claims, even as the defense tries to cast doubt on the physical evidence.This is where the tension lies. On one hand, there is forensic detail which forces people to think. On the other hand, there are confessions that prosecutors say can’t be ignored. Public figures, commentators and increasingly divided audiences are now filling the space between those two points.Owens has used that difference to make the case seem bigger than just a trial. It is a different story whether his claims will hold up in court or not. But outside the courtroom, her words are already changing the conversation, turning a legal battle into a larger battle about belief, evidence, and storytelling.

Oracle layoffs: Employees receive email from ‘Oracle leadership’ at 6 a.m. stating: “We have decided to eliminate your role…”

Oracle Layoffs: Employees receive email from 'Oracle Leadership' at 6 am, stating: "We have decided to end your role…"
Oracle has begun laying off employees across its global offices, with employees receiving termination emails from “Oracle Leadership” at 6 a.m. informing them that their roles had been eliminated. Teams like RHS, SVOS, and NetSuite IDC were among the first hit. The job cuts could affect 20,000 to 30,000 people — about 18% of Oracle’s workforce — as the company looks to free up cash for its AI data center push.

Oracle has begun laying off employees across its global offices, with employees in the US, India and other regions reporting termination emails arriving in their inboxes at 6 a.m. EST on Tuesday. The email sent from “Oracle leadership” informed employees that their roles had been eliminated as part of a broader organizational change – and that the day they received the email was their last working day.There was no prior notice, no call from HR, no manager loop-in. Just an email.Within hours of the layoffs going live, there was a flood of posts on Reddit’s r/employeesOfOracle subreddit and Blind. Affected employees said teams like RHS (Revenue and Health Sciences) and SVOS (SaaS and Virtual Operations Services) saw at least a 30% reduction in force, with 16 or more engineers from individual business units being let go in a single sweep. At least one manager was also part of the cuts. NetSuite’s India Development Center (IDC) was also affected, with PM, IC and manager roles being cut at multiple levels.

Severance offered in layoff email, but only after signing termination paperwork

The termination email told employees they would be eligible for a severance package, but only after signing severance documents sent through DocuSign. Employees were also asked to update their personal email address to receive follow-up information, including FAQs and separation details. For India, the severance structure is expected to follow the standard N+2 formula, where N is the number of years worked, paid in months. However, any unvested RSUs are gone.According to the post on the subreddit, affected employees will retain access to their vested stock through Fidelity, but access to the production system was revoked almost immediately. Some employees reported that April 3 was their official last working day, followed by a one-month garden leave period with limited access.The post on Blind also claims that Oracle recently installed a tracking utility on all Mac laptops issued to employees, allegedly logging all activity on the device. The post warned affected employees not to copy any code or data before returning their machines.

This is what Oracle’s layoff email said

The email, sent from “Oracle leadership” and screenshotted by affected employees, read:“We are sharing some difficult news regarding your position. After careful consideration of Oracle’s current business needs, we have decided to eliminate your role as part of a broader organizational change. As a result, today is your last working day. We are grateful for your dedication, hard work, and the impact you have made during your time with us. After signing your termination paperwork, you will be eligible to receive a severance package subject to the terms and conditions of the severance plan. You will receive an email from DocuSign to your Oracle email address with details of your severance and termination date.”

Oracle is cutting jobs to boost its massive AI infrastructure

The layoffs could be part of Oracle’s largest-ever restructuring. TD Cowen estimates the cuts could affect 20,000 to 30,000 employees – about 18% of Oracle’s 162,000-strong global workforce – which would free up $8-10 billion of cash flow. The money is needed to finance an aggressive, debt-heavy expansion into AI data centers that has put the company under severe financial stress.Oracle has taken on $58 billion of new debt in just two months, the value of its stock has fallen by more than half since peaking in September 2025, and several US banks have quietly pulled out of financing its data center projects. The company, which reported a 95% surge in net income last quarter to $6.13 billion, is betting big on AI infrastructure — but the bill is coming up fast.

'Big opportunity to serve the youth': From tennis court to politics, Leander Paes joins BJP

New Delhi: Indian tennis is great leander paes joined on tuesday Bharatiya Janata PartyStepping into public life ahead of major elections, he described it as “a great opportunity to serve the youth”. The 51-year-old, who is one of India’s most celebrated athletes, was inducted into the party in the presence of Union ministers including Kiren Rijiju.Marking the transition from sports to politics, Paes described the move as a moment of responsibility rather than symbolism. Thanking Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah for the opportunity, he said, “This party membership slip is not just a slip, but a responsibility to serve the country.” India’s youth population presents a crucial moment for the expansion of sports education and infrastructure, he said, adding that he looks forward to making meaningful contributions in that area.Rijiju welcomed the tennis icon’s entry, saying he hoped Paes would “play a big innings” in politics and promote initiatives like the Khelo India programme. BJP leader Sukanta Majumdar also supported the move, saying that Paes’ appeal among the youth could strengthen the party’s reach, especially in West Bengal where elections are approaching.Paes’ political journey is complete after a brief stint with the Trinamool Congress, which he joined in 2021 and campaigned during the Goa elections. His move to BJP now places him in the growing list of high-profile players entering politics.On the court, Paes had a career spanning over three decades, winning 18 Grand Slam titles in men’s and mixed doubles and a historic bronze medal at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. His partnership with Mahesh Bhupathi – dubbed the “Indian Express” – brought global recognition to Indian tennis, while his Davis Cup performances made him a national celebrity.Reflecting on her journey, Paes said she “played for the country for 40 years” and now wants to focus on empowering youth through sport, including promoting equal opportunity scholarships for women. His entry into politics signals an attempt to transform his sporting legacy into public service, as he prepares for a new and more complex arena beyond the baseline.
