<p>California Governor Gavin Newsom, on Monday, threatened his Florida counterpart Ron DeSantis&nbsp;with kidnapping charges after California officials released a statement saying that South American migrants were sent to Sacramento by the state of Florida as part of a political stunt.</p>

<p>Newsom took to Twitter and called the Florida governor and Republican presidential hopeful a “small, pathetic man”. He also cited state kidnapping laws in his tweet.</p>

<p>“This isn’t Martha’s Vineyard. Kidnapping charges?” he said in the tweet, exemplifying last year's DeSantis’ action to send a group of Venezuelan migrants to the affluent liberal vacation spot in Massachusetts.</p>

<p>Newsom said that sixteen migrants from Venezuela and Colombia were taken to New Mexico from Texas and flown on a chartered plane to Sacramento, where they were dropped off at a church on Friday.</p>

<p>Days later on Monday, another plane with&nbsp;20 migrants aboard landed in Sacramento. The groups were transported by the same contractor and were carrying documents pointing to the fact that their travel involved the state of Florida, LA Times cited California Department of Justice officials as saying.</p>

<p>Newsom said the reparations, meant to take responsibility for the country and state's apathy towards its Black residents in the past, was "much more than cash payments". &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Dealing with that legacy is about much more than cash payments. Many of the recommendations put forward by the Task Force are critical action items we’ve already been hard at work addressing," Newson told Fox News Digital.</p>

<p>"Breaking down barriers to vote, bolstering resources to address hate, enacting sweeping law enforcement and justice reforms to build trust and safety, strengthening economic mobility - all while investing billions to root out disparities and improve equity in housing, education, healthcare, and well beyond.

<p>The Democrat leader, however, applauded the work of the task force and said his administration will continue the process of healing.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The Reparations Task Force’s independent findings and recommendations are a milestone in our bipartisan effort to advance justice and promote healing.

<h2><strong>Nikki Haley criticises DeSantis over Ukraine war</strong></h2>

<p>Nikki Haley, a Republican candidate in the race for the US White House, has criticised her two contenders, former president Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for their stance on Ukraine's conflict with Russia.</p>

<p>Haley, who previously served as the UN ambassador under Trump, took issue with their refusal to express a clear position on whether they want Ukraine to succeed in its war against Russia.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In a recent statement, Trump stated that he wanted the war to end and that he would assist in negotiations between Ukraine and Russia.</p>

<p>DeSantis too has expressed his support for a settlement to the war and said he hoped for an end to the fighting by the time he becomes the president in January 2025.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Haley, during a CNN town hall event in Iowa, criticised DeSantis for referring to the conflict as a "territorial dispute",&nbsp;a statement he has since retracted.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"For them to sit there and say that this is a territorial dispute - that's just not the case, or to say that we should stay neutral," she told voters.</p>

<p>She argued that it is in the best interest of national security for Ukraine to win the conflict. The issue of Ukraine tends to divide Republicans due to varying positions on isolationism among primary voters.&nbsp;</p>

Newsom threatens DeSantis with kidnapping charges over migrant flights

<p>The Australian unit of Dell Technologies Inc was found guilty of misleading the customers about the prices, and discounts on its add-on monitors on its official website, said Australia's competition regulator on Tuesday.</p>

<p>As per reports, the customers who chose to purchase a personal computer system were given the option by Dell Australia in the name of a lucrative offer to bundle a compatible monitor at a discounted, or a 'strikethrough' price.</p>

<p>The company suggested to the clients that it would be much cheaper to buy the monitor in a bundle rather than separately.</p>

<p>"Dell Australia admitted that the monitors were not sold for the 'strikethrough' price for most of the relevant time and, in some cases, the add-on price shown was more expensive than if the monitor was bought on a stand-alone basis," the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) said in a filing.</p>

<p>The regulator further added in the filing that the customers paid more than A$2 million ($1.32 million) for add-on monitors between August 2019 and mid-December 2021.</p>

<p>As per a Reuters report, the tech giant sold more than 5,300 add-on monitors with exaggerated discounts and has agreed to offer refunds&nbsp;and compensation to more than &nbsp;4,250 affected consumers.</p>

<h2><strong>Layoffs at Dell</strong></h2>

<p>Earlier this year, Dell Technologies Inc announced layoffs after the company's Co-Chief Operating Officer&nbsp;Jeff Clarke asserted that the company was facing tough market conditions with an uncertain future.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Clarke said, "The company is experiencing market conditions that continue to erode with an uncertain future."</p>

<p>"We’ve navigated economic downturns before and we've emerged stronger," Clarke wrote in his note to employees. "We will be ready when the market rebounds." The company announced a similar layoff in 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic hit.</p>

<p>Industry analyst International Data Corporation (IDC) said preliminary data shows personal computer shipments dropped sharply in the fourth quarter of 2022. Among major companies, Dell saw the largest decline with 37 per cent as compared with the same period in 2021, according to IDC. Dell generates about 55 per cent of its revenue from PCs.</p>

Australian unit of Dell Technologies Inc found guilty of misleading customers

<p>The European Union, on Tuesday, while reacting to the destruction of the Kakhovka hydroelectric dam, condemned Russia for taking its aggression against Ukraine to a new level and for targeting civilians in the country.</p>

<p>"The destruction of the Kakhovka dam brings the targeting of civilian infrastructure and civilians in Ukraine to an unprecedented new level. And of course, the European Union condemns strongly this horrific and barbaric attack," Commission spokesperson Peter Stano told a news conference.</p>

<p>Ukraine and its Western allies condemned Russia for destroying the dam, calling it&nbsp;an intentional war crime.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy accused Russian forces of destroying the dam saying that Russia had controlled the dam and hydroelectric plant for over a year.</p>

<p>"Tonight, they blew up the dam of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Station. At 02:50, the explosion happened. It was an absolutely deliberate, prepared explosion," Zelensky said at&nbsp;the Bucharest Nine Meeting.</p>

<p>"It is physically impossible to blow it up somehow from the outside - with shelling. It was mined. It was mined by the Russian occupiers and blown up by them," he said.</p>

<p>However, Kremlin released a statement saying that Ukraine was the one that blew up the dam to divert attention from a counterattack Moscow asserts is sputtering.</p>

<p><strong>Also read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/the-ukraine-war-documented-in-iconic-pictures-561861">The Russia-Ukraine war documented in iconic pictures</a></p>

<p>Some Russia-installed officials said that the dam burst on its own.</p>

<p>EU's top diplomat Josep Borrell in a written statement said that the explosion put the lives of civilians at risk and is affecting access to cooling water for the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant (ZNPP).</p>

<h2><strong>Destruction triggers evacuation&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>A vast Soviet-era dam in the Russian-controlled part of southern Ukraine was destroyed on Tuesday. According to both the Ukrainian and the Russian forces, the destruction has unleashed a flood across the war zone. The destruction of the major dam has flooded nearby regions, prompting Ukraine to evacuate 16,000 residents from the "critical zone".</p>

<p>Unverified visuals on social media show the reservoir "emptying into the Dnipro" river after a series of intense explosions around the Kakhovka Dam. Other videos show water surging through the remains of the dam, with bystanders expressing their shock, sometimes in strong language.</p>

<p>As per a report by Russia's TASS agency citing Moscow-backed officials in the Zaporizhzhia region, there was no "critical danger" to the Russia-controlled Zaporizhzhia facility.</p>

<h2><strong>Significance of Nova Kakhovka dam</strong></h2>

<p>The dam, which is 30 metres tall and 3.2 kilometres (around two miles) long, was built in 1956 on the Dnipro River.</p>

<p>It holds significant amounts of water. As per Reuters, it holds water equivalent to the Great Salt Lake in the US state of Utah.</p>

<p>The Nova Kakhovka Dam supplies water to Crimea, a region annexed by Russia in 2014 and to Europe's largest nuclear plant, the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, which is also under Russian control.</p>

King Charles sends message of condolence to India's President Droupadi Murmu over deadly Odisha train accident

<p>The United States and European countries have renewed discussions on ways to confront Iran over its nuclear movements amid growing fears that the Islamic Republic’s fierce extension of its programme would trigger a regional war.</p>

<p>The move would highlight a transformation in the Western way of thinking. It would also underline concerns about the growing crisis as Tehran has augmented uranium to such levels that United States officials have cautioned that it could beget adequate material for a nuclear weapon in less than two weeks.</p>

<p>“There is recognition that we need an active diplomatic plan to tackle Iran’s nuclear programme, rather than allowing it to drift,” Financial Times quoted a Western diplomat as saying. “The thing that worries me is that Iran’s decision-making is quite chaotic and it could stumble its way into war with Israel.”</p>

<p>As per FT reports, the United States, France, Germany and the United Kingdom ceased diplomatic efforts to clinch the crisis in the month of September. This came after Tehran infuriated the Western governments by saying no to a draft proposal to revitalise the 2015 nuclear deal, launched a violent crackdown on anti-regime demonstrators, sold armed drones to Russia and arrested a number of European nationals.</p>

<p>However, in recent months, there has been contact with Iranian officials, including a meeting in Oslo in the month of March between the officials from France, Germany and the UK and Iran’s nuclear negotiator, Ali Bagheri Kani.</p>

<p><strong>Also read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/iran-releases-2-austrians-1-danish-with-assistance-from-oman-belgium-599839">Iran releases 2 Austrians, 1 Danish with assistance from Oman, Belgium</a></p>

<p>The US special envoy for Iran, Rob Malley, has met several times with Iran’s UN ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani, say diplomats and analysts, reported FT.</p>

<p>The talks were mainly aimed at the possibility of a prisoner exchange with Iran, FT quoted a person close to the administration as saying. Tehran holds at least three US-Iranian nationals.</p>

<h2><strong>Iran releases 2 Austrians, 1 Danish national</strong></h2>

<p>Iran freed two Austrian and one Danish national who had been detained there.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Alexander Schallenberg, the foreign minister of Austria, expressed his relief on Friday (June 2) that Kamran Ghaderi and Massud Mossaheb were returning home after "years of arduous detention in Iran."</p>

<p>Denmark’s foreign minister, Lars Løkke Rasmussen, said he was “happy and relieved that a Danish citizen is on his way home to his family in Denmark after imprisonment in Iran,” reported Al Jazeera.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As per the experts, a successful US prisoner exchange could improve the environment for any nuclear talks.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Iran's enriched uranium stockpile over 23 times the limit of 2015 deal</strong></h2>

<p>The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said on Wednesday (May 31) that Iran has apparently significantly increased its stockpile of enriched uranium in recent months, continuing its nuclear escalation.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, IAEA has received a "possible explanation" from Iran over nuclear material at an undeclared site and has decided to close the file, news agency AFP reported citing a report it has seen.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In its report, IAEA said that the estimated stockpile of enriched uranium in Tehran had reached more than 23 times what was set as the limit.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The nuclear deal was signed in 2015 and Iran agreed to a pact with six major powers (China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States + Germany) to limit its nuclear programme. It was harder for Iran to obtain a weapon in return for relief from economic sanctions.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But former US President Donald Trump reneged on the deal in 2018 and reimposed harsh sanctions on Iran. Trump's decision led Tehran to start violating the agreement's nuclear limits about a year later.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But in recent time, there has been negotiations and talks to revive the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), but so far, there has not been any breakthrough.&nbsp;</p>

The United States and European countries have renewed discussions on ways to confront Iran over its nuclear movements amid growing fears that the Islamic Republic’s fierce extension of its programme would trigger a regional war.

The United States and European countries have renewed discussions on ways to confront Iran over its nuclear movements amid growing fears that the Islamic Republic’s fierce extension of its programme would trigger a regional war. The move would highlight a transformation in the Western way of thinking. It would also underline concerns about the growing crisis as Tehran has augmented uranium to such levels that United States officials have cautioned that it could beget adequate material for a nuclear weapon in less than two weeks. “There is recognition that we need an active diplomatic plan to tackle Iran’s nuclear programme, rather than allowing it to drift,” Financial Times quoted a Western diplomat as saying. “The thing that worries me is that Iran’s decision-making is quite chaotic and it could stumble its way into war with Israel.” As per FT reports, the United States, France, Germany and the United Kingdom ceased diplomatic efforts to clinch the crisis in the month of September. This came after Tehran infuriated the Western governments by saying no to a draft proposal to revitalise the 2015 nuclear deal, launched a violent crackdown on anti-regime demonstrators, sold armed drones to Russia and arrested a number of European nationals. However, in recent months, there has been contact with Iranian officials, including a meeting in Oslo in the month of March between the officials from France, Germany and the UK and Iran’s nuclear negotiator, Ali Bagheri Kani. Also read: Iran releases 2 Austrians, 1 Danish with assistance from Oman, Belgium The US special envoy for Iran, Rob Malley, has met several times with Iran’s UN ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani, say diplomats and analysts, reported FT. The talks were mainly aimed at the possibility of a prisoner exchange with Iran, FT quoted a person close to the administration as saying. Tehran holds at least three US-Iranian nationals. Iran releases 2 Austrians, 1 Danish national Iran freed two Austrian and one Danish national who had been detained there. Alexander Schallenberg, the foreign minister of Austria, expressed his relief on Friday (June 2) that Kamran Ghaderi and Massud Mossaheb were returning home after "years of arduous detention in Iran." Denmark’s foreign minister, Lars Løkke Rasmussen, said he was “happy and relieved that a Danish citizen is on his way home to his family in Denmark after imprisonment in Iran,” reported Al Jazeera. As per the experts, a successful US prisoner exchange could improve the environment for any nuclear talks. Iran's enriched uranium stockpile over 23 times the limit of 2015 deal The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said on Wednesday (May 31) that Iran has apparently significantly increased its stockpile of enriched uranium in recent months, continuing its nuclear escalation. However, IAEA has received a "possible explanation" from Iran over nuclear material at an undeclared site and has decided to close the file, news agency AFP reported citing a report it has seen. In its report, IAEA said that the estimated stockpile of enriched uranium in Tehran had reached more than 23 times what was set as the limit. The nuclear deal was signed in 2015 and Iran agreed to a pact with six major powers (China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States + Germany) to limit its nuclear programme. It was harder for Iran to obtain a weapon in return for relief from economic sanctions. But former US President Donald Trump reneged on the deal in 2018 and reimposed harsh sanctions on Iran. Trump's decision led Tehran to start violating the agreement's nuclear limits about a year later. But in recent time, there has been negotiations and talks to revive the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), but so far, there has not been any breakthrough.

US, Europe resume discussions over ways to deal with Iran's growing nuclear programme

<p>Several international students in Canada are staging indefinite protests amid a growing threat of their potential removal from the country. The demonstration, which began in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) this week, is expected to continue till the deportation process is stopped.</p>

<p>Their entry into the country was enabled by Indian agents using deceitful documentation.</p>

<p>These students had majorly arrived in the country between the years 2017 and 2019 to pursue higher education. They were informed that their admission offer letters were fake at the time they applied for permanent residency in Canada and their documents were investigated.</p>

<p>Now, at least 700 students are facing removal from the country and have been served with deportation letters by the Canadian Border Security Agency earlier this year.&nbsp;</p>

<p>These students started the protest at a makeshift location on Airport Road in Mississauga and set up a temporary shelter in the region as the protest was launched on Monday, as per a report by Hindustan Times.</p>

<p>The majority of the ones affected were represented by the agent Brijesh Mishra of the Jalandhar-based counselling firm EMSA Education and Migration Services Australia.</p>

<p>The former students said that they were being tormented for no fault of theirs.</p>

<p>This year in the month of March, they wrote an open letter under the banner of Victim Students saying, “We are desperate for justice; we are victims of fraud; we have no criminal level but facing a removal order.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>The agitation was triggered by an expulsion order received by Lovepreet Singh.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Singh, who hails from Mohali in Punjab, has been asked to exit the country by June 13.</p>

<p>Hindustan Times cited one of the impacted students Inder Singh as saying, “We will continue protesting till Lovepreet’s deportation on June 13 is cancelled and a solution is found to our cases.”</p>

<p>The location chosen for the protest is close to a CBSA office and the ex-students plan a large demonstration on Friday in front of that centre.</p>

<p>At least 30 more students are facing expulsion proceedings, though all cases have not yet escalated to the final order being passed. Another 130 or so cases are being probed.</p>

<p>Another student Karamjeet Kaur from Edmonton, hailing from Faridkot in Punjab, was facing expulsion on May 30 but has been granted a temporary stay that her safety would be compromised if she was sent back to India.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The suspension will continue till a judicial review is undertaken in this concern.</p>

Top 10 world news: Turkey's Erdogan sworn in for third term, 3 Israeli soldiers killed in gunfire, and more

<p>A fiery heatwave seared Israel on Friday as the temperature soared to record 38°C (100°F) triggering hundreds of fires across the country forcing evacuations in some parts.</p>

<p>As per The Times Of Israel, firefighters rushed to the scene and got the situation under their control, limiting the property damage. No major injuries from the dangerous weather have been reported, however, one man was reportedly hospitalised.</p>

<p>Temperatures rose to 44°C (111.2°F) along the Gaza border, 45°C (113°F) in the Jordan Valley, 43°C (109°F) in Tel Aviv, 35°C (95°F) in Jerusalem and 38°C (100°F) in Haifa.</p>

<p>As per the Israel Meteorological Service, the sustained wind speeds reached nearly 30 mph in the southern city of Arad and the central town of Beit Dagan.</p>

<p>The fire officials in the country said that there had been nearly &nbsp;220 brushfires across Israel.</p>

<p><strong>Also read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/vietnam-heatwave-nation-reports-record-high-temperatures-of-43-degrees-589946">Vietnam heatwave: Nation reports record high temperatures of 44.1 degrees</a></p>

<h2><strong>Rolling blackouts in Israel</strong></h2>

<p>The Middle Eastern country also cut power to keep up with the high demand for air conditioning due to the record rise in the temperature.</p>

<p>The company managing Israel’s electric grid blamed the extreme temperatures, a shortage of solar energy due to the sun setting and dust covering solar panels, and technical malfunctions at a power plant for the rolling blackouts.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“We ask the citizens of Israel not to turn on electrical appliances that are not essential today,” The Times of Israel quoted Noga, the semi-governmental firm as saying.</p>

<p>Later, The Israel Electric Corp. tweeted a statement appearing to condemn Noga for poor planning ahead of the heatwave.</p>

<p>“The Electric Corp. is obligated to act and make plans only under the instruction of [Noga] regarding anything to do with preparing for extreme scenarios,” it said.</p>

<h2><strong>Hanoi turns off street lights to save electricity amid soaring temperatures</strong></h2>

<p>Last week, Vietnam's capital city Hanoi turned some street lights off partially to keep the national power system running due to soaring temperatures.</p>

<p>The weather officials issued a warning that the country could be hit by a heatwave in the month of June.</p>

<p>Following the warning, several cities cut back on public lighting after state utility company Vietnam Electricity (EVN) said rising public demand for air conditioning could burden the national grid further.</p>

<p>"It's so harsh and hot outside that people have to wear protective clothing to cool down and not get burned," Reuters quoted Hanoi resident Tran Van Hung, 67, as saying on Monday (May 29).</p>

<p>"I am worried about a power shortage, which may badly impact us during the hot summer," Hanoi resident Do Tung Duong said while on a walk in the dim city centre.</p>

<p>Another resident, Vu Thi Hoa, told AFP she agreed with the measure to cut public lighting.</p>

<p>"We should turn off unnecessary electric equipment, especially the lights. It feels hotter if there are too many lights on," she said.</p>

<p>"We need power for fans and air conditioners. It will be terrible if there is a power cut."</p>

<p>In response to EVN's calls for power saving, Hanoi Public Lighting Company HAPULICO reduced the city's street lights.</p>

<p>"Although some cuts are made to street lights every year, the power saving scheme is in a wider area this year, covering 70 per cent of the city's public lighting system," HAPULICO deputy director Le Trung Kien told local media.</p>

<p>"We still ensure enough lighting for traffic, security and order."&nbsp;</p>

The company managing Israel’s electric grid blamed the extreme temperatures, a shortage of solar energy due to the sun setting and dust covering solar panels, and technical malfunctions at a power plant for the rolling blackouts. “We ask the citizens of Israel not to turn on electrical appliances that are not essential today,” The Times of Israel quoted Noga, the semi-governmental firm as saying. Later, The Israel Electric Corp. tweeted a statement appearing to condemn Noga for poor planning ahead of the heatwave. “The Electric Corp. is obligated to act and make plans only under the instruction of [Noga] regarding anything to do with preparing for extreme scenarios,” it said. Hanoi turns off street lights to save electricity amid soaring temperatures Last week, Vietnam's capital city Hanoi turned some street lights off partially to keep the national power system running due to soaring temperatures. The weather officials issued a warning that the country could be hit by a heatwave in the month of June. Following the warning, several cities cut back on public lighting after state utility company Vietnam Electricity (EVN) said rising public demand for air conditioning could burden the national grid further. "It's so harsh and hot outside that people have to wear protective clothing to cool down and not get burned," Reuters quoted Hanoi resident Tran Van Hung, 67, as saying on Monday (May 29). "I am worried about a power shortage, which may badly impact us during the hot summer," Hanoi resident Do Tung Duong said while on a walk in the dim city centre. Another resident, Vu Thi Hoa, told AFP she agreed with the measure to cut public lighting. "We should turn off unnecessary electric equipment, especially the lights. It feels hotter if there are too many lights on," she said. "We need power for fans and air conditioners. It will be terrible if there is a power cut." In response to EVN's calls for power saving, Hanoi Public Lighting Company HAPULICO reduced the city's street lights. "Although some cuts are made to street lights every year, the power saving scheme is in a wider area this year, covering 70 per cent of the city's public lighting system," HAPULICO deputy director Le Trung Kien told local media. "We still ensure enough lighting for traffic, security and order." (With inputs from agencies) WATCH WION LIVE HERE

<p>India's Tata Group on Friday signed a strategy deal to build a lithium-ion cell factory, based on an investment of approximately 130 billion rupees ($1.58 billion), as per Reuters reports.</p>

<p>This move is in line with the country's efforts on creating its own electric vehicle supply chain.</p>

<p>The car market in India is very small if compared to the size of the country's population. Tata Motors overpowers its electric vehicle (EV) sales, which made up just 1% of India's total car sales of about 3.8 million last year.</p>

<p>As per a joint statement on the memorandum of understanding between Tata's unit Agratas Energy Storage Solutions and the government of the western state of Gujarat, the work on the plant, which is to be built in Sanand, northern Gujarat, was expected to start in less than three years.</p>

<p>The statement said that the initial manufacturing capacity of the plant would be 20 Gigawatt hours (GWh), which could further be doubled in a second phase of expansion.</p>

Tata Group signs $1.6 billion deal with Gujarat government to set up EV battery plant

<p>A research team in China has claimed to have significantly enhanced the safety of the world’s most potent explosive by designing a five-fold boost to its shock resistance capacity, according to a report by the South China Morning Post.</p>

<p>As per the scientists, this innovation could lead to the acceleration of large-scale application of the explosive in wars which could further make the Chinese weapons far superior in terms of destructive power.</p>

<p>Deemed to be the most lethal non-nuclear explosive in existence, CL-20 when blasted, can beget fierce shock waves with exploding pressures that are many times higher than other common explosives like TNT and RDX.</p>

<p>Recently, Chinese defence researchers, with the help of 24 hypersonic projectiles, sank an entire US aircraft carrier cavalcade in the South China Sea.</p>

<p>According to military experts, the weapons used by China had CL-20 warheads.</p>

<p>According to a US Energetics Technology Centre study commissioned by the Pentagon in 2021, the mass production of CL-20 is extremely difficult but China is the only country to so far possess such industrial capability.</p>

<p>The study also claims that China has used the explosive in some of its newest weapons.</p>

<p>But the use of CL-20 is still restricted due to its sensitivity to shock, the SCMP report cited explosive scientist Guo Changping from the Sichuan Military and Civilian Co-Innovation Centre for New Energetic Materials as saying.</p>

<p>“CL-20 has a high mechanical sensitivity, which makes it prone to safety accidents during its development, production, storage, transport and use, due to friction and impact. Its safety performance needs to be improved,” Guo’s team said in a peer-reviewed paper published in the Chinese Journal of Explosives and Propellants in April.</p>

<p>“We are seeking a new method to break through the current technology barriers. It will inspire the design and preparation of high-security, high-energy propellants and explosive formulas of the future,” the scientists added.</p>

<h2><strong>China's CL-20 research closely linked to nuclear weapons programme</strong></h2>

<p>According to some state media reports in recent years, China’s CL-20 research is closely linked to its nuclear weapons programme.</p>

<p>More potent detonative devices&nbsp;can lower the size of nuclear weapons and allow intercontinental ballistic projectiles to travel further.</p>

<p>Explosive expert Professor Yu Yongzhong, who engineered ignitable devices for China’s nuclear warheads, conceived the idea of utilising cage-shaped compounds as the new method of researching high-energy explosives.</p>

<p>He suggested changing the “two-dimensional” flat ring structure of detonation devices to a “three-dimensional” cage-like structure.</p>

<p>This led to the synthesis of 797#, which is the world's first cage structure explosive material in 1979.</p>

<p>According to some experts in the US defence industry, China has already integrated CL-20 into a number of weapons systems and has invested research resources for the mass production of the most deadly non-nuclear explosive in factories.</p>
