Quick Glance: Increase in UK defence spending by 2030

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak commits to raising spending to 2.5% of GDP, putting the defence industry on a 'war footing'.

Sunak emphasized the need for deeper stockpiles of munitions and quicker replenishment due to the events in the Ukraine conflict.

The planned increase in defence spending would require significant financial reshuffling, partly through announced measures to reduce the size of the civil service.

Shortly after announcing the pledge to send weapons worth 500 million pounds to Ukraine, this commitment followed.

Quick Glance: AI Revolutionizing Call Centers: TCS Insights

The head of Tata Consultancy Services predicts chatbots will reduce the need for human call center agents significantly, revolutionizing the industry.

TCS's generative AI projects have doubled in value to $900 million by March, highlighting the increasing demand for tech talent and the need for workforce training.

Reports suggest that overall IT services growth is affected by global uncertainties like inflation, war, and elections, leading to a decline in spending and slower revenue growth for companies like TCS and Infosys.

Infosys anticipates a modest 1-3% sales growth in the upcoming financial year due to customers delaying discretionary spending on new tech projects amidst the current economic climate.

Quick Glance: Measures Against TikTok: Biden Sets Deadline for Sale

President Biden has signed legislation requiring ByteDance to fully divest from TikTok within a year or potentially face a nationwide ban.

This action poses a significant challenge to the future of the video-streaming app in the U.S. and escalates the technological conflict between America and China.

TikTok plans to take legal action against the Biden administration, citing concerns that the law could impede the free speech of millions of Americans.

This requirement was incorporated into a bill providing foreign aid for Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan, mandating ByteDance to sell its stake in TikTok within 12 months under the threat of closure.

Quick Glance: Rebel Wilson and the Invitation to a Drug-Fueled Orgy

Rebel Wilson claims that a member of the British royal family invited her to a drug-fueled orgy in California, without naming the Royal.

The Royal allegedly invited her to an event in 2014 where 'more girls' were needed, and Wilson recalls wearing a striking outfit to this 'insane' event.

Wilson recounts drugs being handed out on trays while she saw the Royal, later realizing that the drug MDMA was meant for the orgy that was supposed to happen after a fireworks display.

Upon realizing that the Royal's comment about needing more girls actually indicated an orgy, Wilson left the event before explicit scenes unfolded.

Quick Glance: India's Modi Attacks Pro-Muslim Rivals in Election Shift

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Hindu nationalist party have begun attacking opposition rivals, claiming they favor minority Muslims, in an effort to energize their hardline base after the start of general elections last week.

Modi referred to Muslims as 'infiltrators' who have 'more children', linking it to an alleged election plan by the main opposition Congress party to redistribute Hindu wealth among Muslims, a claim denied by the Congress.

Modi's government has faced accusations of discrimination against India's 200 million Muslims, but has denied them, emphasizing its work for the welfare of all citizens.

Modi initially focused on development, welfare, and national pride in his campaign, but shifted focus back to core voters after the first phase, addressing issues of joblessness and rural distress.

Despite planning to raise about Rs450 billion in equity and debt, doubts persist over whether this will be sufficient to secure the company's future.

British lawmakers to vote on smoking ban for younger generations

reut.rs/3Q2rV2d

Quick Glance: UK Lawmakers Support Groundbreaking 'Smoke-Free Generation' Bill

The British government's plan for a landmark smoking ban to prevent young people from ever smoking passed its first hurdle in Parliament despite opposition from within Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's Conservative Party.

The bill, announced by Sunak, would make it illegal to sell tobacco products to anyone born after January 1, 2009, creating one of the toughest anti-smoking measures in the world to establish the 'first smoke-free generation' in modern Britain.

The bill also includes measures to crack down on youth vaping, such as banning the sale of cheap disposable vapes and restricting their flavors to prevent children from becoming addicted to nicotine.

The number of people who smoke in the U.K. has declined by two-thirds since the 1970s, but approximately 6.4 million people in the country still smoke, accounting for about 13% of the population. Smoking remains the number one preventable cause of death, disability, and poor health.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could find themselves in a complicated situation, according to an expert, if King Charles invites them to join the Royal Family at Balmoral.

It is expected that King Charles will extend an invitation to Harry and Meghan to visit the Scottish retreat this year, as it is customary for the monarch to invite family members during the holiday season.

Royal expert and author Tom Quinn suggests that an invitation to the retreat could present a 'difficult' situation for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

King Charles has reportedly extended an olive branch to Prince Harry and Meghan by 'hinting' at a visit to Balmoral this summer to improve relationships within the Royal family.

Quick Glance: Google terminates 28 employees after office occupation due to anti-Israel protests

Google terminated 28 employees on Thursday who had occupied its offices to protest against contracts with the Israeli government, as confirmed by a Google spokesperson.

The protesters were arrested and after refusing to leave the office of Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian in Sunnyvale or the workspace in New York City for nearly 10 hours, they were transferred to administrative positions to urge Google to terminate the Project Nimbus contract and cease business with the Israeli government.

No Tech For Apartheid, a project by Jewish Voice for Peace and Linda Sarsour’s MPower Change, described the terminations as an "indiscriminate act of mass retaliation."

The office occupations at Google were accompanied by demonstrations on-site and in Seattle, aiming to compel Google to withdraw from the project to establish cloud-based data centers and transition a significant portion of the Israeli government's IT infrastructure to cloud-based servers.

Reasons for the trip postponement were not immediately disclosed, and neither Tesla nor Modi's office responded promptly to requests for comments.

Quick Glance: San Francisco's Real Estate Market in Turmoil

The city of San Francisco, once seen as the shining star of the West Coast, is now on the verge of collapse, with seemingly no one raising the alarm.

In particular, the city's housing market has been severely impacted over the past year, with prices plummeting and homeowners fleeing en masse.

Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, did not hold back in his comparison of San Francisco's issues to those of New York City, stating that the Bay Area is 'in far worse shape.'

San Francisco is failing in all aspects, leading to a quiet collapse of its housing market, where once luxurious properties are now being offered at significant discounts.

Ram Navami 2024: ‘Surya Tilak’ illuminates Ram Lalla's forehead, PM Modi says ‘emotional moment for me’ | Watch | Mint

livemint.com/news/india/ram-navami-2024-surya-tilak-illuminates-ram-lallas-forehead-pm-modi-says-emotional-moment-for-me-watch-11713342473566.html

Quick Glance: Historic Event: Fusion of Science and Celebration at Ram Lalla's Surya Tilak

The Surya Tilak ceremony for Ram Lalla at Ayodhya's Ram Mandir was a remarkable event that signified a significant turn after 500 years. Followers gathered to witness the event on the auspicious day of Ram Navami as the temple doors opened early in the morning. The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust extended the darshan period, stressing that no special arrangements were made for the day.

During the Surya Abhishek or Surya Tilak ceremony, the sun's rays delicately touched the forehead of Ram Lalla. This remarkable occurrence was enabled by a sophisticated mechanism involving mirrors and lenses, symbolizing deep reverence. Developed by researchers from IIT-Roorkee, the device precisely directed sunlight onto the deity at noon, showcasing precision and devotion.

At the Ram Navami festival, followers could engage in darshan from the early hours of the morning, commencing with the Shringaar Aarti of Ram Lalla at 5 a.m. Offerings were presented at the temple exit after the Shayan Aarti. Emphasis was placed on securely storing belongings outside the temple premises to facilitate the darshan process.

Ram Janmabhoomi is celebrating a grand event for the second time after the pran pratishtha ceremony. Ram Navami is being celebrated with grandeur at Ram Mandir, featuring offerings of 56 types of bhog, prasad, and panjiri. Chief priest Acharya Satyendra Das affirmed that all arrangements for the celebration are overseen by the Trust, with Ram Navami being joyously commemorated.

Quick Glance: Biocon Developing Own Version of Wegovy, Plans Clinical Trial

Indian pharmaceutical company Biocon is working on developing its own version of Novo Nordisk's popular Wegovy and is likely to conduct a clinical trial next year to enter the growing weight-loss drug market.

Biocon's CEO, Siddharth Mittal, has expressed the company's intention to develop semaglutide, the active ingredient in Wegovy, for the Indian market, even if it requires a clinical trial.

Biocon aims to introduce generic versions of weight-loss drugs in emerging markets such as Brazil, Mexico, and Saudi Arabia before the patent for semaglutide expires in those countries in 2026.

The company is striving to obtain a waiver on clinical trials from Indian regulators and submit bioequivalence studies to demonstrate the effectiveness of their version of semaglutide. Biocon is making significant investments in generics research and development, including peptides for weight-loss drugs.
