India is preparing to send skilled workers to Russia as part of efforts to strengthen economic ties, according to a senior official from Telangana.
Dana Kishore, principal secretary of Telangana, revealed the plan during the TIME Forum in Kazan, Russia. He said the state would train workers for the Russian job market, marking the first significant wave of Indian workers heading to Russia. Kishore highlighted Russia's shortage of skilled workers and noted that India already sends labor to 33 other nations.
Kishore emphasized that Telangana is focusing on specialized fields like aerospace and manufacturing to make workers globally competitive. Ivan Nosov of Sberbank India added that the number of Indian workers in Russia has grown...
Britain is facing a decline in domestic gas production this winter, increasing its dependence on imports to meet energy demands, the Financial Times reported Thursday, citing the national gas grid operator.
National Gas UK expects a 6% decrease in gas from domestic offshore fields, with a 7% rise in liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports to compensate. Norway will remain the UK's largest supplier, providing 36% of the winter gas needs, while domestic production will supply 33%. LNG is projected to account for 24% of the UK's gas.
The UK's gas production fell 10% between 2023 and 2024, hitting its lowest level since 1973. National Gas UK has warned of tighter margins for winter 2025/2026 due to the continued decline in supplies from the...
Marine Le Pen, the veteran right-wing French politician, has pledged to block any new government actions after President Emmanuel Macron promised to appoint a new prime minister within two days to address the growing political crisis.
Le Pen’s National Rally (RN) party holds the largest share of seats in parliament. On Wednesday, she called on Macron to either dissolve the National Assembly and call fresh elections or resign.
"I vote against everything... This joke has gone on long enough," said the three-time presidential candidate.
Macron’s administration faces mounting challenges, with France's record-high debt and ongoing debates over the 2026 budget. Despite Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu’s resignation, Macron has asked him to...
Ukrainian conscription officials have urged citizens to avoid documenting instances of violent military enlistment, instead calling on the public to “respect” recruitment officers.
The appeal, posted on Wednesday by the Kiev Regional Territorial Center for Recruitment and Social Support, criticized the Telegram channel Stop TCK Ukraine for sharing footage of men being forcibly detained and taken to enlistment vehicles. These events, often referred to as “busifications,” have gained widespread attention.
The center accused the channel of being part of Russian disinformation efforts and advised Ukrainians against watching such videos. The post urged the public to protect and assist recruitment officers, calling them essential for...
Alex Jones, founder of Infowars, asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday to delay a $1.4 billion damages ruling against him for defaming the families of Sandy Hook shooting victims. The families sued Jones after he falsely claimed the 2012 shooting was a hoax and that the victims' relatives were actors.
The Supreme Court filing marks the latest effort by Jones to postpone any payment. Jones and his company, Free Speech Systems, also seek the court's review of their appeal, which will be discussed at a closed-door conference on Friday. Jones's lawyers argue that the case threatens the free speech rights of journalists, warning that large defamation awards could lead to self-censorship.
During the trial, evidence showed Jones continued...
Democrats in Congress have framed the government shutdown as a battle over health insurance, but underlying this dispute is their growing concern about what they see as unchecked power under President Trump. While Democrats push for the extension of Obamacare subsidies, they are equally driven by frustration with Trump's extreme policies and disregard for legislative oversight.
The shutdown has dragged on as Democrats, alarmed by Trump's actions, resist funding the government. They are particularly troubled by his perceived abuse of power, including ignoring congressional spending directives and deploying the military to U.S. cities. Senator Bernie Sanders warned that the real issue is whether the U.S. will slide toward...
The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals halted the execution of Robert Roberson, an autistic man convicted of killing his 2-year-old daughter, citing the need to reconsider disputed evidence regarding "shaken baby syndrome." The ruling, issued just a week before his scheduled execution, follows a long legal battle that has drawn national attention, including from figures like Dr. Phil and author John Grisham.
Roberson’s attorneys have questioned the validity of shaken baby syndrome as a cause of death, arguing that his daughter died from medical complications rather than abuse. In response, Texas passed a 2013 law allowing legal challenges based on discredited forensic evidence. The Court of Criminal Appeals referred to a previous ruling...
President Trump has repeated false claims about flag burning, asserting that he "took the freedom of speech away" and made it a crime punishable by one year in prison. The remarks were made during a White House roundtable on antifa, where Trump discussed a recent incident involving right-wing influencer Nick Sortor, who had confronted protesters in Portland, Oregon.
Trump referenced his August 25 executive order, which he claimed imposed a one-year prison sentence for flag burning, but the actual order only directed efforts to prosecute flag burners to the fullest extent of the law. The order acknowledged that flag burning, as a political protest, is protected under the First Amendment.
Legal experts have criticized Trump's actions...
A man who shot two police officers in Miami early Thursday before barricading himself inside a house was later found dead, police said. The city's police chief, Manuel A.
