Why Elon Musk decided to postpone his trip to India: “Really heavy…”

by Leave a Comment

During his visit to India, Elon Musk was supposed to meet with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

One of the richest persons in the world and CEO of Tesla, Elon Musk, has rescheduled his much-anticipated trip to India. During his tour, the CEO and creator of SpaceX was supposed to meet with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi. The billionaire attributed his choice to his “very heavy Tesla obligations.”

“Unfortunately, very heavy Tesla obligations require that the visit to India be delayed, but I do very much look forward to visiting later this year,” Elon Musk posted to X.

Elon Musk, who also controls X (previously Twitter), verified this week that he will be meeting with Prime Minister Modi in India.

“Looking forward to meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in India,” he wrote in a post on X.

It was anticipated that Elon Musk would declare a $2–3 billion investment to establish manufacturing in India.

During PM Modi’s June 2018 visit to the US, Elon Musk had a meeting with the latter. The CEO of Tesla talked about PM Modi, his intended travel to India in 2024, and Tesla’s strategy to join the Indian market and establish the eagerly awaited factory.

The announcement of Elon Musk’s visit to India had come months after the central government announced a new electric vehicle policy, which offered import duty concessions to those setting up manufacturing units in India with a minimum investment of 500 million dollars.

It was expected that the Tesla founder’s visit would also provide a fillip to his other ambitious project in India – Starlink. Bloomberg had quoted “people familiar with the matter” as saying that Starlink had received assurances from the central government that it would be able to start operating in the country as soon as the third quarter of this year.

Experts have claimed that the operations of Starlink in India would mark a further deepening of the security partnership between India and the US.

US vetoes UN resolution that receives broad support and supports Palestine’s full UN membership.

by Leave a Comment

12 members of the 15-member Security Council voted in favor, two did not participate, and the US vetoes opposed.

On Thursday, the United States vetoed a resolution that was overwhelmingly supported by the UN and would have allowed the state of Palestine to become a full member.

If there were no vetoes, the resolution would have suggested that Palestine be admitted as the 194th member of the UN by the 193-member General Assembly. The state of Palestine has already gained recognition from almost 140 nations, thus entry would have been permitted.

This is the second attempt by the Palestinians to apply for full membership in the UN, and it comes at a time when the almost 75-year-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict has taken center stage because of the ongoing war in Gaza, which is currently in its seventh month.

The United States has “been very clear consistently that premature actions in New York — even with the best intentions — will not achieve statehood for the Palestinian people,” according to U.S. deputy State Department spokesperson Vedant Patel, who spoke before the vote.

U.S. Deputy Ambassador Robert Wood stated that Palestinian membership “needs to be the outcome of the negotiation between Israel and the Palestinians.” It “is something that would come about as a consequence of those talks.”

Anything that stands in the way of a two-state solution, which “we all want,” where Israel and Palestine coexist peacefully, “makes it more difficult to have those negotiations,” Wood told reporters.

2011 saw the initial delivery of the Palestinian Authority’s application for U.N. membership by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to then-Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. The Palestinians did not receive the necessary minimum support from nine of the fifteen members of the Security Council, which is why their initial bid failed.

After that, the Palestinians addressed the General Assembly, where they were successful in November 2012 in moving up from being a U.N. observer state to a non-member observer state with the support of more than two-thirds of the members. The Palestinian territories were then able to join the United Nations and other international institutions, such as the International Criminal Court.

The Palestinians revived their bid for U.N. membership in early April, backed by the 140 countries that have recognized Palestine as an independent state.

Ziad Abu Amr, special representative of the Palestinian president, said adopting the resolution would grant the Palestinian people hope “for a decent life within an independent state.”

He said such “hope has dissipated over the past years because of the intransigence of the Israeli government that has rejected this solution publicly and blatantly, especially following the destructive war against the Gaza Strip.”

He stressed to the Security Council that it won’t be an alternative “for serious negotiations that are time-bound to implement the two-state solution” and U.N. resolutions and to resolve pending issues between Palestinians and Israelis.

Sensex is down 600 points, and Nifty begins below 21,850, with Wipro, Bajaj Auto, and Infosys in the spotlight.

Amr asked the U.S. and other countries opposed to its U.N. membership how that could damage prospects for peace or harm international peace and security when they already recognized Israel and approved its U.N. membership.

“To grant the state of Palestine full membership will be an important pillar to achieve peace in our region, because the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and its different dimensions now go beyond the borders of Palestine and Israel and impacts other regions in the Middle East and around the world,” the Palestinian envoy said.

Israel hits, and Iran’s foreign minister declares that an “immediate and at a maximum level” military reaction will follow.

Israeli-Palestinian negotiations have been stalled for years, and Israel’s right-wing government is dominated by hard-liners who oppose Palestinian statehood.

Israeli U.N. Ambassador Gilad Erdan called the resolution “disconnected to the reality on the ground” and warned that it “will cause only destruction for years to come and harm any chance for future dialogue.”

A half-year after Hamas, the Gaza-based organization, attacked southern Israel, murdering 1,200 Jews in “the most brutal massacre of Jews since the Holocaust,” he charged that the Security Council was attempting “to reward the perpetrators of these atrocities with statehood.”

Speaker after speaker blasted Israel’s military offensive on Thursday, claiming that it had destroyed much of the area and killed over 32,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza’s health ministry.

Erdan enumerated the prerequisites for U.N. membership, including adherence to the Charter’s duties and, most importantly, being a state that “loves peace.”

What a farce, he exclaimed. Is there any doubt that the Palestinians did not fulfill these requirements? Has any Palestinian leader ever spoken a condemnation of the slaughter of our children?

Iran Alerts UN That If Israel Resigns “Adventurism,” It’s Ready to De-Escalate.

Foreign Minister Hossein the ambassador stated at the UN that Iran is willing to reduce tensions with Israel if it promises to cease any additional military actions that go against Tehran’s interests.

Hossein Amirabdollahian, Iran’s foreign minister, stated at the UN that Tehran is willing to defuse tensions with Israel as long as the latter pledges to refrain from taking more military action against Tehran’s interests.

“Iran has completed its legitimate defense and countermeasures,” Amirabdollahian declared on Thursday at the UN Security Council. “Israel ought to be forced to cease any additional military incursions that contradict our interests.” If not, he claimed, Iran would “respond decisively and appropriately,” causing Israel to “regret its actions.”

Iran launched a “limited and minimal” missile and drone attack on Israel over the weekend, according to the ambassador, focusing solely on military installations. According to him, it was in retaliation for a previous Israeli hit on an Iranian consulate building in Syria. Nonetheless, even though Israel and its allies, the US and the UK, halted the great bulk of the incoming missiles and drones, Israeli leaders have vowed to respond to the Iranian onslaught that occurred last weekend.

Israel hits, and Iran’s foreign minister declares that an “immediate and at a maximum level” military reaction will follow.

“In case the Israeli regime embarks on adventurism again and takes action against the interests of Iran, the next response from us will be immediate and at a maximum level,” he declared in a CNN interview on Thursday night.

“We have conveyed a message to the White House and Washington D.C., the administration, announcing that we have underlined that our response will be decisive, definite, and regretful for them if the Israeli regime commits the grave blunder once again,” Amirabdollahian continued.

Hours before the Security Council voted on Palestine’s application to become a full member of the UN, which the US vetoed, he participated in a high-level discussion on the Middle East with foreign ministers from Brazil, Spain, Jordan, and other nations earlier in the day.

The UK and Switzerland abstained from the vote, leaving 12 of the 15 members of the Security Council in support of the motion.

A Republican congressman called for the State Department to cancel Amirabdollahian’s visa this week, following his first visit to New York since tensions with Israel escalated. The foreign minister’s movements will be strictly restricted, according to department spokesman Matthew Miller, adding, “I would not expect to see him, for example, snapping selfies on top of the Empire State Building.”

According to today’s headlines, two U.S. officials have confirmed that an Israeli missile has struck Iran. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had promised to respond to the drone and missile attack against Israel last weekend, and this strike is in retaliation.

Concerning the location and scope of the Israeli hit, officials remained silent. The Israel Defense Forces declined to comment on the attack when contacted by today’s headline news.

According to the state-run Iranian news agency IRNA, air defense batteries went off in multiple locations. People in the vicinity reported hearing the noises, but it did not go into detail as to what caused the batteries to catch fire.

Specifically, IRNA said that air defenses opened fire at a significant air base in Isfahan, which has long housed Iran’s fleet of F-14 Tomcats, manufactured in the United States and acquired before the Islamic Revolution of 1979.

The sound of explosions was also reported by the semiofficial Fars and Tasnim news agencies, but no reason was given. “Loud noise” was acknowledged on state television in the vicinity.

Sites connected to Iran’s nuclear program are also located in Isfahan, including the subterranean Natanz enrichment plant, which has been the subject of multiple attacks by what are believed to be Israeli forces. State television, however, characterized every location in the region as “fully safe.”

over 4:30 a.m. local time, the airline’s Emirates and FlyDubai, based in Dubai, started making detours over western Iran. Although local advisories to pilots indicated that the airspace might have been blocked, they did not explain.

Later, Iran declared that commercial aircraft were being grounded in Tehran as well as in parts of its central and western regions. Customers at Tehran’s Imam Khomeini International Airport were alerted to the situation by loudspeakers, according to alleged internet videos.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps lost seven officers, including two generals, in a fatal attack on their embassy in Syria last weekend, prompting Iran to undertake an extraordinary retaliation strike against Israel.

Israel todays news

According to IDF and US officials, Iran attacked Israel with 170 drones, more than 30 cruise missiles, and 120 ballistic missiles. According to the IDF, none of the drones entered Israeli land before Israel and its allies—including the United States—shot them down.

According to U.S. sources quoted in today’s headlines, five of the ballistic missiles hit Israel, with four of them striking the Israeli F-35s’ home base at Nevatim Air Base. Given that an F-35 is thought to have carried out the strike against the Syrian consulate, the officials surmise that the facility was probably Iran’s main target.

Netanyahu has been advised by the United States and other Israeli allies to be cautious in any possible reaction to Iran. Officials from the United States have declared that their nation will not take part in any Israeli counterattack.

President Biden urged the Israeli prime minister, “to think about what that success says all by itself to the rest of the region,” following Iran’s attack, which the IDF said caused “very little damage,” according to National Security Council spokesman John Kirby.

Dubai floods: Everything you should know about cloud seeding that could have resulted in flooding in the UAE

Dubai floods: The state-run WAM news agency described the rain as “a historic weather event” that was greater than “anything documented since the start of data collection in 1949.”

Tuesday’s “heaviest rain ever” fell on the parched United Arab Emirates (UAE), causing flooding in Dubai.

The state-run news service WAM described the rain as “a historic weather event,” better than “anything documented since the start of data collection in 1949.”

Tuesday saw rain in Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Oman.

Among other things, “cloud seeding” is thought to be the cause of the widespread rain that was observed throughout the United Arab Emirates.

According to meteorologists at NCM cited in multiple media accounts, Emirates’ National Center for Meteorology (NCM) carried out six or seven cloud-seeding aircraft before to the rains that wreaked havoc in Dubai.

What is cloud seeding?

Cloud seeding is a type of weather modification where substances like silver iodide or dry ice are dispersed into clouds to encourage precipitation, such as rain or snow. 

In countries like the UAE, where temperatures are high and annual rainfall is minimal, cloud seeding is employed to alleviate pressure on limited groundwater sources by enhancing precipitation.

How does cloud seeding work?

Cloud seeding is a technique where “seeding agents” such as silver iodide or salt are introduced into clouds to stimulate condensation and trigger rainfall.

Weather forecasters monitor atmospheric conditions and identify suitable clouds for seeding based on precipitation patterns. This technique can increase rainfall by up to 30-35 percent in clear conditions and 10-15 percent in more humid conditions.

What is UAE’s cloud seeding program?

The UAE initiated its cloud seeding program in the late 1990s, making it one of the first Middle Eastern countries to use this technique. Collaborative research with institutions like the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and NASA has bolstered their efforts.

The UAE established the “UAE Research Program for Rain Enhancement Science” (UAEREP) in 2015 to address water security challenges.

According to the UAEREP, the Emirates’ National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has established a national network of 86 automatic weather stations (AWOS) for weather monitoring, six weather radars covering the entire UAE, and one upper air station.

It has also created climate databases and assisted in the development of high precision Numerical Weather Predictions and simulation software in the UAE.

The UAEREP website further informed that currently, the NCM operates four Beechcraft King Air C90 aircraft from Al Ain Airport equipped with the latest technologies and devices employed for cloud seeding and atmospheric research.

How brain cells coordinate working memory processes is known as neural harmony.

What is the environmental impact of cloud seeding?

Cloud seeding alters the precipitation patterns of a region/locality. This may negatively impact neighbouring ecosystems, who were to receive rain for the seeded clouds originally.

Introducing seeding agents might impact the natural hydrological cycle as it may change the natural soil moisture levels, groundwater recharge, and river flows.

Some experts worry about the potential for silver toxicity if cloud seeding becomes widespread. Silver iodide is a common seeding agent. Silver toxicity could pose risks to aquatic life and soil health.

Therefore, even with the promise cloud seeding holds, responsible stewardship and thorough evaluation of its environmental impacts are crucial.

UN to vote tomorrow on Palestinian state UN membership

The United Nations Security Council will vote Thursday on the Palestinians’ application to become a full UN member state, an AFP report said. The General Assembly can admit a new member state with a two-thirds majority vote, but only after the Security Council gives its recommendation. The Palestinians — who have had observer status at the United Nations since 2012 — have lobbied for years to gain full membership. According to the Palestinian side, 137 of the 193 UN member states already recognize a Palestinian state, raising hope that their request would be supported in the General Assembly. But the Palestinian push for UN membership faces a major hurdle, as the United States — Israel’s closest ally — could use its veto power to block the Security Council recommendation.

Fifty thousand Russian servicemen have been officially declared dead.

The can confirm that Russia’s military casualties in Ukraine have already topped fifty thousand.

We discovered that the number of dead on the front lines was about 25% greater in the second year than the first, as Moscow pressed its so-called meat grinder tactic.

Since February 2022, the independent media organization Mediazona, volunteers, and the Russian have been compiling a death toll.

Several soldiers’ names were made available via recently dug graves in cemeteries.

Additionally, our teams searched through publicly available data from newspapers, social media, and government sources.

Our findings show that almost 27,300 Russian soldiers lost their lives in the second year of conflict, illustrating the high human cost associated with territorial gains.

Russia has refrained from providing a statement.

The way Moscow constantly pushes waves of soldiers forward in an attempt to wear down Ukrainian forces and reveal their locations to Russian artillery has been dubbed a “meat grinder.”

Over 50,000 people have died overall, which is eight times more than the number of fatalities that Moscow has ever officially acknowledged in public, which was released in September 2022.

It’s likely that even more Russians have died in reality.

The militia killings in eastern Ukraine’s Russian-occupied Donetsk and Luhansk are not included in our study. The number of Russian deaths would have increased if they had been included.

Conversely, Ukraine hardly ever discusses the number of its soldiers that have died in combat. President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed in February that 31,000 Ukrainian soldiers had died; however, figures derived from US intelligence point to higher casualties.

Strategies for meat grinders
The most recent list of dead soldiers released by Mediazona and the demonstrates the terrible human cost of Russia’s shifting front-line tactics.

The graph below illustrates how the Russian military’s death toll skyrocketed in January 2023 when it launched a major operation in the Ukrainian Donetsk region.

The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) claims that “ineffective human-wave style frontal assaults” were employed by the Russians un their battle for the city of Vuhledar.

It claimed that there were few victories and significant combat casualties as a result of “tough terrain, a lack of combat power, and failure to surprise Ukrainian forces.”

When Wagner, a mercenary organization, assisted Russia in capturing Bakhmut in the spring of 2023, there was another notable jump in the graph.

Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of Wagner’s group, calculated that his group had lost 22,000 at that point.

Another spike in military fatalities followed Russia’s takeover of the eastern Ukrainian city of Avdiivka last October.

Keeping track of graves

Since the beginning of the conflict, volunteers with counting the number of new military burials in 70 cemeteries throughout Russia.

Aerial photographs reveal a considerable expansion of graveyards.

For instance, these pictures of Ryazan’s Bogorodskoye Cemetery, which is southeast of Moscow, demonstrate the appearance of a whole new part.

The majority of these new burials appear to be those of soldiers and officers who died in Ukraine, based on images and films shot on the ground.

‘Be ready to die’

Prisoners were usually hired by Wagner for a period of six months. At the conclusion, the fighters would receive their freedom, should they made it out alive.

However, starting last September, enlisted inmates have been required to fight under the ministry of defense until the end of the war, whichever comes first.

The reports lately of inmates pleading with family members for assistance in purchasing appropriate boots and clothing. Additionally, there have been stories of prisoners being sent to battle without the necessary equipment, medical supplies, or even Kalashnikov rifles.

Based in Russian-occupied eastern Ukraine, Grubnik asserts that commanders declared it “impossible” for some firearms to be replaced when they discovered they were “completely broken.”

“The rifle had been assigned to the person, and the harsh military bureaucracy couldn’t do anything about it.”

Former inmates have also spoken of the heavy price their friends suffered.

Sergei warns, “If you sign up now, be ready to die, mate,” on a shared information web forum for Storm combatants and their families.

He says he’s been fighting in a Storm squad since October and was once a prisoner.

Out of the 100 men in a Storm platoon five months ago, only 38 are still alive, according to another forum user.

“Every combat mission is like being born again.”

How the UAE Produces Artificial Rain and How It Connects to the Chaos of Dubai Weather

by Leave a Comment

The UAE’s water resources are severely strained due to its strong reliance on groundwater supplies and summer temperatures that can reach as high as 50 degrees Celsius.

New Delhi: Tuesday’s intense rainstorm caused significant flooding across the desert nation of Dubai, which is renowned for its dry climate and scorching heat. The unexpected deluge not only stopped the busy city’s normal pace, but it also raised concerns about the growing impact of climate change on local extreme weather events.
Less than 200 millimeters of rain fall on average per year in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The UAE’s water resources are severely strained due to its strong reliance on groundwater supplies and summer temperatures that can reach as high as 50 degrees Celsius.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has been at the forefront of developing novel approaches to address this urgent problem. One such approach is cloud seeding, a type of weather modification that increases precipitation by creating artificial rain.

Understanding Cloud Seeding
The process of “seeding agents” into clouds in order to encourage condensation and precipitation is known as cloud seeding. Weather forecasters at the NCM start the procedure by keeping an eye on atmospheric conditions and using precipitation patterns to identify clouds that would be good candidates for seeding.

Cloud seeding was first tested in the UAE in 1982. Collaborative scientific and technical research with the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Colorado, USA, Witwatersrand University in South Africa, and NASA had strengthened the Gulf nation’s artificial rain program by the early 2000s.

The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is in charge of the Rain Enhancement Program (UAEREP).

The program’s experts examined the physical and chemical properties of the UAE’s atmosphere, specifically aerosols and pollutants, and how they affected the development of clouds. Finding a potent chemical to promote cloud formation and eventually increase rainfall was the goal.

Following the identification of favorable clouds, specialized aircraft fitted with hygroscopic flares take to the air.

Environmental concerns
Cloud seeding has been shown to have potential advantages, although questions have been raised concerning its effects on the environment and the safety of the seeding substances utilized. As a result, the NCM has taken steps to guarantee the longevity and safety of its activities.

The UAE’s cloud seeding program doesn’t use any hazardous chemicals, in contrast to several other nations’ that make use of silver iodide, a substance that resembles crystals and has sparked environmental worries. Rather, it uses organic salts as seeding agents.

The NCM created its own seeding agent, called nano material, which is made of fine salt that has been titanium oxide-coated. Trials and experiments are being conducted on this substance to determine how well it enhances precipitation.

A 7-Year-Old Girl Is the Lone Serious Casualty of Iran’s Barrage

by Leave a Comment

A 7-year-old girl, who lives in a Negev desert community that is home to Arab Bedouins, was clinging to life in a hospital after the attack.

Sunday was a quiet day in the hospital waiting room. There were no large groups of family members or patients. Israel’s air defenses had just stopped a large-scale attack by Iran, which only hurt one person seriously.

There was no sign of a crisis outside the pediatric intensive care unit at Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba, which is in the southern part of Israel. A mother who was gasping for air walked out of the ward with her face contorted as the doors to the ward opened. Then she quickly gave in to her feelings and fell into a chair, crying.

There wasn’t much damage done to Israel overnight, but this family was definitely hurt very badly. Amina al-Hasoni, 7, was barely alive and was the only major victim of the Iranian attack. Some of her family members said that she might have been saved too if Israel’s system wasn’t so unfair.

In the Negev desert, there are about 300,000 Arab Bedouins. A fifth of them live in villages that Israeli authorities don’t recognize. These towns have had trouble for a long time without planning or basic services like running water, sewers, and power because they are not recognized by the state. Many people have asked the government many times but still can’t get into bomb bunkers.

The Hasoni family lives in one of these communities. They share a hilltop in the village of al-Fur’ah in the Negev with a group of houses that are not related to each other. It was Saturday night and rocket sirens went off. Amina’s uncle Ismail said he felt stuck because he had nowhere to go.

Before there was a big blast, booms in the sky told air defenses to stop the missiles. He then heard his sister yelling, and “I started running,” he said.

Ismail, who is 38 years old, found his sister holding Amina outside of her house. Amina was bleeding from the head. Her family ran out the front door to get away from the bombs. But Amina didn’t make it. She slept in a back room with pink walls painted with butterflies.

A piece of the missile went through the house’s thin metal roof and made a hole with sharp metal edges. Not far from the door, where Amina was knocked out, it hit something hard.

He said, “I think it hit her as she was running away.”

He told her that he picked up Amina from his sister and held her in his arms. After that, Ismail found a car that sped her to the hospital, which was more than 40 minutes away on a rough, twisting road where camels sometimes crossed.

7-Year-Old Girl

Then, when Amina was already on her way, he went inside the house and said he saw a big, black piece of shrapnel about the size of a jelly jar. “There was blood,” he said, pointing to a puddle that had changed into a stream that went from the tile floor to the front door.

The orange-patterned floors were clean by Sunday afternoon. Only one of the dozen or so cousins there could say who did it: “It was bad for the children to see” all the blood. He hasn’t gone back inside, though.

“It’s hard,” he said, still having blood on his pants and boots. A pink Minnie Mouse blanket and a small black-and-white girl’s dress were hung on a family clothesline not far from where he was sitting.

He also said, “We could have built shelters here.”

He didn’t believe that what happened to Amina was just bad luck.

He said, “It’s part of the rules.” “There’s nothing we can do.”

The piece of rocket that hit Amina’s house was one of more than 150 that police bomb disposal teams found in the area on Sunday. The family said that the piece that hit their house had been taken away by police. Teams searched the desert for hours for debris and carried away huge pieces of bent metal. This was done all over Israel.

There is a military base called Nevatim not far from the Hasoni home. This base was supposedly attacked by Iran and only slightly damaged, according to Israeli officials.

That doesn’t make Amina’s father, Muhammad, feel better. He spent the morning at the hospital taking turns being by her bedside. He told her that he didn’t say much to her and just said her name again.

His 14 children include Amina, who “likes to laugh and have fun all the time,” said Muhammad, 49. She’s a good student, but she doesn’t always listen to directions because she has a “strong personality,” he said. She also really enjoys drawing.

He said that what Iran was doing was “inhumane.”

He said without doubt, “May God destroy them.”
