Scientists have painted a scary scenario according to which black holes can form inside planets and chew through them, ultimately wiping them off the universe, but not fully. According to a study, dark matter, the mysterious substance that fills most of the space in the universe, can create these black holes that will eat them from the inside. What will be left behind is a black hole about the size of the planet it consumed. The "doomsday" finding was published in &nbsp;Physical Review D on August 20. Can something like this happen with Earth? The researchers created a dark matter model which showed dark matter getting concentrated deep inside giant planets, collapsing to form tiny black holes which would then start growing and consume the entire planet.

Eid Milad-un-Nabi 2025: Date, History, and Significance of Prophet Muhammad’s Birthday

The past three to four days saw a frenzy of diplomacy from India, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi hobnobbing with Russian President Vladimir Putin and resetting ties with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in China. This move appeared to be a deliberate counter to—and defiance of—US President Donald Trump’s punitive measures against New Delhi for its purchase of Russian oil, including the imposition of 50 per cent tariffs on Indian imports. While Trump remains adamant that he will not relent on these duties, a host of leaders, analysts and experts are cautioning against this heavy‑handed approach. Their core argument is simple: India’s independent foreign policy is its strength, and it must not be undermined.<h2>‘We will lose this game’: A president's blunt warning to the US on India ties</h2>Among the most urgent warnings came from Alexander Stubb, the President of Finland. Speaking about the SCO summit, he said that unless the West adopts "a more cooperative, more dignified foreign policy, especially with regard to Global South countries such as India, we are going to lose this game." He described the summit as a reminder that, in his view, the SCO is actively trying to weaken Western unity.Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/modi-at-sco-summit-in-two-car-rides-and-body-language-bonhomie-indian-pm-was-given-x-s-favourite-ride-and-had-putin-by-the-side-at-tinjian-1756706706483">Modi at SCO summit in two car rides and body language bonhomie: Indian PM was given Xi's favourite ride, and had Putin by the side at Tianjin</a><h2>'Trump undermining decades of strategic trust'</h2>US Congressman Ro Khanna, known for his vocal support for India on Capitol Hill, accused Trump’s tariffs of being akin to a "five‑alarm fire" that threatens decades of bipartisan strategic cooperation. He warned that the extraordinary 50 per cent tariffs risk accomplishing what years of diplomacy could not: pushing India closer to Russia and China.Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/watch-viral-moments-of-modi-putin-xi-from-the-sco-summit-spark-meme-fest-1756750765281">WATCH | Viral moments of Modi, Putin, Xi from the SCO Summit spark meme fest</a><h2>'India is a proud civilisation. Treat it that way'</h2>Former UK Foreign Secretary William Hague offered a timely reminder of India’s enduring strategic autonomy, rooted in its post‑independence non‑aligned stance. He cautioned US policymakers that India, proud and independent, will not back down in the face of economic coercion; indeed, "If you hit India with tariffs, it won’t back down. It will go work with somebody else."<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/after-modi-s-snub-pak-pm-sharif-ignored-by-china-s-jinping-rushes-for-awkward-handshake-with-putin-watch-1756723084457">Also read: Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif rushes for handshake with Putin, gets 'ignored' by Xi Jinping at SCO Summit- WATCH</a><h2>'Trump shredded decades of Western efforts'</h2>John Bolton, former US National Security Advisor, delivered a scathing critique of the current US approach. He said that Trump has "shredded decades of efforts" to draw India closer to the West and away from Soviet‑era ties, arguing that the tariff policy has handed Xi Jinping a significant geopolitical opening. He stated that Modi’s appearance alongside Putin and Xi was a “substantial gain for China’s Xi.”<h2>SCO summit a significant setback for the US, warn experts</h2>David Ignatius, veteran foreign affairs commentator, described the visuals of Modi and Putin standing together at the Tianjin summit as "a significant setback for the United States." He argued that India’s shifting orientation toward Russia and China undermines diplomacy that has been conducted since the George W Bush presidency.Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/pm-modi-s-car-diplomacy-from-putin-to-obama-when-indian-pm-rode-in-same-car-with-world-leaders-1756749998266">PM Modi's 'car diplomacy': From Putin to Obama, when Indian PM rode in same car with world leaders</a><h2>America ‘might as well go home’ if India, China, Russia unite</h2>Ed Price, a global markets analyst and former British trade official, issued a stark warning: if India were to align strategically with China and Russia, "America will not be able to compete in the 21st century. We might as well go home."<a href="https://www.wionews.com/videos/sco-summit-2025-pm-modi-delivers-opening-remarks-at-sco-1756714458398/embed">https://www.wionews.com/videos/sco-summit-2025-pm-modi-delivers-opening-remarks-at-sco-1756714458398/embed</a><h2>'We need India to counter China, we can’t do it alone'</h2>Mary Kissel, former senior adviser in the US State Department, emphasised the indispensability of India in countering China’s rise. She asserted, "If we are serious about China being the greatest threat to the United States, then we need India. It’s just a fact. We can’t fight the Chinese alone in the Asia‑Pacific."&nbsp; She added that India brings heft that is essential alongside other partners like Japan and Australia.<h2>Media commentary underscores broader realignment</h2>Commentators across outlets such as Reuters, The Guardian and The Wall Street Journal have pointed out that India’s warm participation in the SCO amid escalating US tariffs signals a geopolitical realignment that could profoundly challenge Western influence in Asia.While some observers view the summit as symbolic, they caution that symbols often herald real shifts.<h2>What is the common refrain? India is not a pawn in any Great Game</h2>Taken together, the responses are strikingly clear: India is no longer a pawn in big‑power diplomacy, it plays by its own rules.The West now faces a choice: engage with India with respect for its autonomy, or stand by as it drift strategically and economically toward its rivals.The elephant has taken a turn, and reasonable people are panicking.

Indian PM Modi's prominent presence with Russian and Chinese leaders at the SCO summit amid Trump tariffs has triggered warnings from Western leaders and analysts that alienating India risks pushing it closer to the West's rivals, weakening decades of diplomacy. Here is why it matters

The past three to four days saw a frenzy of diplomacy from India, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi hobnobbing with Russian President Vladimir Putin and resetting ties with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in China. This move appeared to be a deliberate counter to—and defiance of—US President Donald Trump’s punitive measures against New Delhi for its purchase of Russian oil, including the imposition of 50 per cent tariffs on Indian imports. While Trump remains adamant that he will not relent on these duties, a host of leaders, analysts and experts are cautioning against this heavy‑handed approach. Their core argument is simple: India’s independent foreign policy is its strength, and it must not be undermined. ‘We will lose this game’: A president's blunt warning to the US on India ties Among the most urgent warnings came from Alexander Stubb, the President of Finland. Speaking about the SCO summit, he said that unless the West adopts "a more cooperative, more dignified foreign policy, especially with regard to Global South countries such as India, we are going to lose this game." He described the summit as a reminder that, in his view, the SCO is actively trying to weaken Western unity.

He warned that the extraordinary 50 per cent tariffs risk accomplishing what years of diplomacy could not: pushing India closer to Russia and China.

Treat it that way' Former UK Foreign Secretary William Hague offered a timely reminder of India’s enduring strategic autonomy, rooted in its post‑independence non‑aligned stance. He cautioned US policymakers that India, proud and independent, will not back down in the face of economic coercion; indeed, "If you hit India with tariffs, it won’t back down. It will go work with somebody else." Also read: Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif rushes for handshake with Putin, gets 'ignored' by Xi Jinping at SCO Summit- WATCH 'Trump shredded decades of Western efforts' John Bolton, former US National Security Advisor, delivered a scathing critique of the current US approach. He said that Trump has "shredded decades of efforts" to draw India closer to the West and away from Soviet‑era ties, arguing that the tariff policy has handed Xi Jinping a significant geopolitical opening. He stated that Modi’s appearance alongside Putin and Xi was a “substantial gain for China’s Xi.” SCO summit a significant setback for the US, warn experts David Ignatius, veteran foreign affairs commentator, described the visuals of Modi and Putin standing together at the Tianjin summit as "a significant setback for the United States." He argued that India’s shifting orientation toward Russia and China undermines diplomacy that has been conducted since the George W Bush presidency.

We might as well go home." https://www.wionews.com/videos/sco-summit-2025-pm-modi-delivers-opening-remarks-at-sco-1756714458398/embed 'We need India to counter China, we can’t do it alone' Mary Kissel, former senior adviser in the US State Department, emphasised the indispensability of India in countering China’s rise. She asserted, "If we are serious about China being the greatest threat to the United States, then we need India. It’s just a fact. We can’t fight the Chinese alone in the Asia‑Pacific." She added that India brings heft that is essential alongside other partners like Japan and Australia. Media commentary underscores broader realignment Commentators across outlets such as Reuters, The Guardian and The Wall Street Journal have pointed out that India’s warm participation in the SCO amid escalating US tariffs signals a geopolitical realignment that could profoundly challenge Western influence in Asia. While some observers view the summit as symbolic, they caution that symbols often herald real shifts. What is the common refrain? India is not a pawn in any Great Game Taken together, the responses are strikingly clear: India is no longer a pawn in big‑power diplomacy, it plays by its own rules. The West now faces a choice: engage with India with respect for its autonomy, or stand by as it drift strategically and economically toward its rivals.

The elephant took a turn, and reasonable people are panicking: How India getting closer to China and Russia is making the West take note

In what is being described as India’s most expensive residential property transaction, a colonial-era bungalow in Delhi’s prestigious Lutyens’ zone — once the first official residence of former Prime Minister of India Jawaharlal Nehru — has been sold for a staggering ₹1,100 crore.

With sweeping lawns, classic architecture, and a prized location in the heart of the power capital, the bungalow embodies not only luxury but also a vital chapter in India’s modern political history.Despite the grandeur, market insiders point out that the deal closed at nearly a 20% markdown from its originally quoted price.

Harvard scientist Avi Loeb has warned that there will come a day when humans will escape to space to ensure their survival. He said in an interview that a major catastrophe will force them to build a "Noah's Ark" to escape death and tragedy and start afresh in space. &nbsp;The scientist also warned humans against assuming that they are the most intelligent civilisation in the universe. In an interview he shared on his blog, Loeb talked about how "humans are good at maintaining their ignorance by avoiding the collection of contradicting facts". He called out those scientists who do not believe in exploring "virgin territories", and says this is why humans will "fail to discover architectural constructions by extraterrestrial intelligence." Loeb is fascinated with extraterrestial life and says humans are only acquainted with the "real estate" on Earth, even though there is "much more real estate on objects in outer space."Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/is-3i-atlas-not-alone-scientist-says-invisible-probe-may-be-racing-ahead-and-could-strike-mars-1756785567924">Is 3I/ATLAS not alone?

He basically believes that there is a lot out there in interstellar space that humans are not aware of, waiting to be explored. However, for that to happen, they will need to keep an open mind and believe that alien life is possible. He seems to be referring to doubts raised over his claims that 3I/Atlas, the interstellar object racing towards the inner solar system, could be an alien spaceship.

Earlier in the day, a meeting took place at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse following a grand military parade in central Beijing, where President Xi Jinping led commemorations in Tiananmen Square to mark 80 years since the end of World War II and Japan’s surrender. The parade, featuring thousands of troops and heavy weaponry, was attended by several global leaders—though Western participation was notably absent, underscoring the geopolitical undertone of the event.According to the Kremlin, Putin and Kim arrived for the talks together in the same car after a formal reception. Images from North Korean state media also showed Kim accompanied by his daughter, Kim Ju Ae.

In a recent scientific development at the University of Gottingen in Germany, it was revealed that precious metals like gold and ruthenium are coming out from deep inside the Earth to its surface through volcanic activity. Chemical signatures depicting traces of core material in the eruptions have been detected by the scientists after studying lava from Hawaiian volcanoes such as Kīlauea and Lo‘ihi.&nbsp;The study suggests that only tiny amounts make it to the surface, but it is speculated that the core of the Earth contains up to 30 billion tons of gold, worth roughly €2.77 trillion. That means small leaks through the eruption provide a glimpse into the richest and most inaccessible layers of the planet, according to a report by TOI.&nbsp;The research also includes a vast quantity of gold that the core of the Earth includes. The trace amounts that reach the surface in lava flows offer scientists a rare view into the deepest layers of the planet. “We’re talking about traces, not nuggets,” says Matthias Willbold, a co-author of the study.<h3>Current technology is inefficient for mining: scientists&nbsp;</h3>These findings indicated to the researchers that current technology is not efficient enough to mine the core of the Earth, but it helps in understanding the planet's composition and the processes shaping its interior over billions of years.&nbsp;In order to discover these deep-Earth materials, scientists focused on ocean island basalts, volcanic rocks formed by hot mantle plumes rising from near the core of the Earth. Another metal, Ruthenium, a metal densely found in the core, acts as a chemical fingerprint.&nbsp;Elevated levels of the 100Ru isotope in lava signify that a fraction of less than 0.3 per cent of core material can reach the surface. This provides strong and clear evidence that the core is not completely isolated from the rest of the planet, as was earlier believed.

As Chinese President Xi Jinping hosted Russian leader Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un for a massive military parade on Wednesday (Sep 3), US President Donald Trump posted a message claiming that Americans had helped China achieve victory over Japan — which the parade was celebrating. For those unfamiliar with the history, it might have sounded like one of Trump’s exaggerations. But in this case, he happens to be right. Eighty years ago, in a very different world, the United States stood by China in its fight against Japanese aggression. Here is that story.<h2>What was the Chinese military parade celebrating?</h2>The Chinese military parade marked the 80th anniversary of Japan’s surrender in World War II. President Xi hosted a number of world leaders, including Putin and Kim, as China showcased some of its latest weapon systems and commemorated its role in defeating Japanese imperial forces.Amid this, Trump highlighted a lesser-known chapter in US-China relations. He said the United States gave “massive” support and shed “blood” to help China secure its freedom from a “very unfriendly foreign invader.” He criticised China’s current leadership for failing to acknowledge American support during the celebrations.“Will Xi mention the MASSIVE amount of American support... Will he honour the MANY Americans who died?” Trump wrote.<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/ww2-b29-superfortress-most-expensive-weapon-costlier-nuclear-bomb-1756819959777">Also read: B-29 Bomber: Costliest weapon of World War II, costlier than the nuclear bomb</a><h2>The forgotten front: how American soldiers helped China fight Japan during World War II</h2>The story begins in 1937, when Japan invaded China, beginning the Second Sino-Japanese War. At the time, China was a poor and fragmented country, facing a ruthless and technologically superior enemy. Japanese forces bombed Chinese cities, massacred civilians, and occupied vast swathes of Chinese territory. China resisted largely alone for several years, until the United States entered World War II following the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941.From then on, the United States became a major ally of China, offering not only military and economic aid but also manpower and expertise in what became one of the most consequential and devastating theatres of the war.<a href="https://www.wionews.com/videos/china-victory-parade-will-mark-surrender-of-japan-during-world-war-ii-1756384582813/embed">https://www.wionews.com/videos/china-victory-parade-will-mark-surrender-of-japan-during-world-war-ii-1756384582813/embed</a><h2>American billions helped a bruised China</h2>The United States provided over $1.6 billion in Lend-Lease aid to China between 1941 and 1945 — a staggering sum at the time, equivalent to over $25 billion today. The aid included aircraft, vehicles, ammunition, food supplies, and equipment. Several US military advisers were stationed in China to support and train the Nationalist forces led by Chiang Kai-shek. This support came despite the internal conflict between the Chinese Nationalists and the Communists. The two factions often clashed even as they both fought against the Japanese invaders.<h2>The Flying Tigers: American pilots who defended China’s skies</h2>One of the most iconic symbols of American support during this period was the Flying Tigers — officially known as the American Volunteer Group (AVG). Comprising around 300 American pilots and ground crew, the Flying Tigers flew combat missions against Japanese aircraft from 1941 to 1942, often outnumbered and under-resourced.Formed before the United States formally entered the war, the Flying Tigers became legends in both China and America. They are credited with destroying nearly 300 Japanese aircraft and played a critical role in defending Chinese territory from aerial assault.<h2>The China-Burma-India Theatre: a gruelling campaign in which American troops supported China</h2>While most Americans are familiar with battles such as Normandy and Iwo Jima, fewer know about the China-Burma-India (CBI) Theatre — one of the most challenging fronts of World War II. Around 250,000 American troops served in the CBI Theatre over the course of the war. They built infrastructure such as the Ledo Road to reconnect China with Allied supply lines, trained Chinese troops, and engaged Japanese forces in the dense jungles of Burma.Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/-unstoppable-china-s-massive-military-parade-brings-xi-putin-and-kim-together-in-rare-show-of-unity-against-west-1756864172260">'Unstoppable' China's massive military parade brings Xi, Putin and Kim together in rare show of unity against West</a> &nbsp;Units like Merrill’s Marauders — a US Army long-range penetration force — carried out dangerous missions to reopen the Burma Road, which had been cut off by Japanese forces. Though these battles occurred far from the Chinese heartland, they were vital to sustaining China’s resistance.<h2>How many Americans died for China during the war against Japan?</h2>Trump’s claim that Americans gave their “blood” for China is not inaccurate. During the Flying Tigers’ operations, around 20–25 American personnel died in combat or accidents prior to 1942. In the wider China-Burma-India Theatre, approximately 1,600 Americans died — including those lost in combat, from disease, or in accidents. Of these, historians estimate that around 500 to 1,000 deaths were directly tied to China-related operations, including air missions over Chinese territory and logistical efforts in support of Chinese forces.While small in comparison to the 405,000 American deaths during World War II, these sacrifices remain significant — particularly in a theatre often neglected in Western historical narratives.<h2>What did American military contributions mean for China?</h2>The US played a vital role in helping China resist complete collapse under Japanese occupation.

It might surprise some, but Trump’s claim that American ‘blood’ and aid helped China defeat a foreign enemy is largely accurate. The US did give billions in support, flew combat missions, and lost lives aiding China’s resistance. 

As Chinese President Xi Jinping hosted Russian leader Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un for a massive military parade on Wednesday (Sep 3), US President Donald Trump posted a message claiming that Americans had helped China achieve victory over Japan — which the parade was celebrating. For those unfamiliar with the history, it might have sounded like one of Trump’s exaggerations. But in this case, he happens to be right. Eighty years ago, in a very different world, the United States stood by China in its fight against Japanese aggression. Here is that story. What was the Chinese military parade celebrating? The Chinese military parade marked the 80th anniversary of Japan’s surrender in World War II. President Xi hosted a number of world leaders, including Putin and Kim, as China showcased some of its latest weapon systems and commemorated its role in defeating Japanese imperial forces. Amid this, Trump highlighted a lesser-known chapter in US-China relations. He said the United States gave “massive” support and shed “blood” to help China secure its freedom from a “very unfriendly foreign invader.” He criticised China’s current leadership for failing to acknowledge American support during the celebrations. “Will Xi mention the MASSIVE amount of American support... Will he honour the MANY Americans who died?” Trump wrote. Also read: B-29 Bomber: Costliest weapon of World War II, costlier than the nuclear bomb The forgotten front: how American soldiers helped China fight Japan during World War II The story begins in 1937, when Japan invaded China, beginning the Second Sino-Japanese War. At the time, China was a poor and fragmented country, facing a ruthless and technologically superior enemy. Japanese forces bombed Chinese cities, massacred civilians, and occupied vast swathes of Chinese territory. China resisted largely alone for several years, until the United States entered World War II following the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941. From then on, the United States became a major ally of China, offering not only military and economic aid but also manpower and expertise in what became one of the most consequential and devastating theatres of the war. https://www.wionews.com/videos/china-victory-parade-will-mark-surrender-of-japan-during-world-war-ii-1756384582813/embed American billions helped a bruised China The United States provided over $1.6 billion in Lend-Lease aid to China between 1941 and 1945 — a staggering sum at the time, equivalent to over $25 billion today. The aid included aircraft, vehicles, ammunition, food supplies, and equipment. Several US military advisers were stationed in China to support and train the Nationalist forces led by Chiang Kai-shek. This support came despite the internal conflict between the Chinese Nationalists and the Communists. The two factions often clashed even as they both fought against the Japanese invaders. The Flying Tigers: American pilots who defended China’s skies One of the most iconic symbols of American support during this period was the Flying Tigers — officially known as the American Volunteer Group (AVG). Comprising around 300 American pilots and ground crew, the Flying Tigers flew combat missions against Japanese aircraft from 1941 to 1942, often outnumbered and under-resourced. Formed before the United States formally entered the war, the Flying Tigers became legends in both China and America. They are credited with destroying nearly 300 Japanese aircraft and played a critical role in defending Chinese territory from aerial assault. The China-Burma-India Theatre: a gruelling campaign in which American troops supported China While most Americans are familiar with battles such as Normandy and Iwo Jima, fewer know about the China-Burma-India (CBI) Theatre — one of the most challenging fronts of World War II. Around 250,000 American troops served in the CBI Theatre over the course of the war. They built infrastructure such as the Ledo Road to reconnect China with Allied supply lines, trained Chinese troops, and engaged Japanese forces in the dense jungles of Burma. Also read: 'Unstoppable' China's massive military parade brings Xi, Putin and Kim together in rare show of unity against West Units like Merrill’s Marauders — a US Army long-range penetration force — carried out dangerous missions to reopen the Burma Road, which had been cut off by Japanese forces. Though these battles occurred far from the Chinese heartland, they were vital to sustaining China’s resistance. How many Americans died for China during the war against Japan? Trump’s claim that Americans gave their “blood” for China is not inaccurate. During the Flying Tigers’ operations, around 20–25 American personnel died in combat or accidents prior to 1942. In the wider China-Burma-India Theatre, approximately 1,600 Americans died — including those lost in combat, from disease, or in accidents.

Finland President Alex Stubb, who happens to be Donald Trump's golf buddy, has taken an apparent dig at the US President for his recent aggressive actions against India. In a statement, he has called for "cooperative and dignified foreign policy" towards countries in the Global South, particularly India. He also sounded a warning that the failure to do so could result in significant losses for the West. Stubb's warning comes as India and the United States remain at odds after Trump imposed a sweeping tariff on Indian imports, allegedly over New Delhi's imports of discounted Russian oil. However, reports suggest that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's snub of Trump, hinting at a Nobel Peace Prize nomination for the India-Pakistan ceasefire in May—for which the POTUS has repeatedly claimed credit—could be behind the excessive tariffs.Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/did-modi-s-snub-over-trump-s-nobel-peace-prize-push-lead-to-50-tariffs-for-india-shocking-report-claims-this-1756605189312">Modi rejected Trump's Nobel prize fantasy during call, reveals shocking report — 50% tariff the price of POTUS' bruised ego?</a><h2>What did the Finnish president say?</h2>Stubb, while warning about how the lack of cooperation with India and the Global South could harm the West, said that the recent Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit in Tianjin was a good reminder "to all of us in the global West of what is at stake.

Russia is reportedly weighing investment plans to manufacture its fifth-generation Su-57 stealth fighter jets in India, a move that could reshape the Russian defence industry's global footprint. The proposal follows a renewed offer for joint production and technology transfer made to New Delhi in March 2025.&nbsp;In response to the manufacturing of fifth-generation Su-57 stealth fighter jets, Russian Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation Director Dmitry Shugayev highlighted the prospects of deeper collaboration with India. “As is known, India has our S-400 system. There is an opportunity to expand cooperation in this sector as well. It means new supplies. So far, we are negotiating this,” he said, pointing to the possibility of delivering Su-57 fighter jets as another avenue.&nbsp;Citing unidentified defence sources, The Eurasian Times reported that Russian defence agencies are conducting internal assessments to determine capital requirements to produce the Su-57 aircraft in India. The objective of the project is to lower overall costs, reduce time, and make use of India's existing aerospace infrastructure.<h3>Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL): A potential partners for Su-57 manufacturing</h3>The report further noted that the potential partners for Su-57 manufacturing are state-owned Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), which has earlier contracted to assemble the Su-30MKI at the Nashik facility in India. However, if the program further advances, other Indian defence manufacturing facilities can also be called in for the project, but it will be contingent on a green light from India.&nbsp;The latest development comes months after Russia’s state arms exporter Rosoboronexport indicated plans to utilise India’s existing Su-30MKI infrastructure for the local assembly of Su-57E fighters. “In case of a positive decision by the Indian side, the production of the Russian fifth-generation Su-57E fighter jet can be started at the factories currently producing the Su-30MKI fighter within a short time,” as reported earlier.&nbsp;Earlier, India had been a collaborator in the Fifth-Generation Fighter Aircraft (FGFA) project for the Su-57 but withdrew from the programme in 2018. The decision stemmed from multiple concerns, including escalating costs, insufficient transfer of technology, and doubts over the aircraft’s stealth performance.&nbsp;In February 2025, Russia revived its offer to India for the Su-57 and later broadened the proposal to make it more attractive. The renewed package not only covers local production of the Su-57E but also includes upgrades for the Su-30MKI fleet and technical support for India’s indigenous Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) initiative.

Russia is considering joint production of Su-57 stealth fighter jets in India, after a renewed technology transfer offer in March 2025. The proposal includes HAL as a potential partner, aiming to cut costs, use existing infrastructure, and deepen defence cooperation beyond the S-400 deal.

Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL): A potential partners for Su-57 manufacturing The report further noted that the potential partners for Su-57 manufacturing are state-owned Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), which has earlier contracted to assemble the Su-30MKI at the Nashik facility in India. However, if the program further advances, other Indian defence manufacturing facilities can also be called in for the project, but it will be contingent on a green light from India. The latest development comes months after Russia’s state arms exporter Rosoboronexport indicated plans to utilise India’s existing Su-30MKI infrastructure for the local assembly of Su-57E fighters. “In case of a positive decision by the Indian side, the production of the Russian fifth-generation Su-57E fighter jet can be started at the factories currently producing the Su-30MKI fighter within a short time,” as reported earlier. Earlier, India had been a collaborator in the Fifth-Generation Fighter Aircraft (FGFA) project for the Su-57 but withdrew from the programme in 2018. The decision stemmed from multiple concerns, including escalating costs, insufficient transfer of technology, and doubts over the aircraft’s stealth performance. In February 2025, Russia revived its offer to India for the Su-57 and later broadened the proposal to make it more attractive. The renewed package not only covers local production of the Su-57E but also includes upgrades for the Su-30MKI fleet and technical support for India’s indigenous Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) initiative.

Russia is considering joint production of Su-57 stealth fighter jets in India, after a renewed technology transfer offer in March 2025. The proposal includes HAL as a potential partner, aiming to cut costs, use existing infrastructure, and deepen defence cooperation beyond the S-400 deal.

Su-57 in India’s skies? Russia looks to New Delhi for joint Su-57 manufacturing, tech transfer

NASA has said that an asteroid will make a close flyby of Earth on September 3. Asteroid 2025 QD8 will pass within 218,000 kilometres of Earth at 10:57 am ET. That's close, about 57 per cent of the average distance between Earth and the Moon. Will it pose a threat to our planet? NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) said in an alert that the asteroid will come quite close to Earth. However, it won't be a danger to us. But this is a chance to study an asteroid up close because of the eerily close distance it will be from us. Asteroid 2025 QD8 is &nbsp;71 feet wide and travelling at a speed of 45,000 kilometres per hour. The Virtual Telescope Project 2.0 will be hosting a livestream of the asteroid flyby using remotely controlled telescopes. You can catch the rock fly live in real time. Astronomers have already clicked some photos of the space rock.Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/is-3i-atlas-not-alone-scientist-says-invisible-probe-may-be-racing-ahead-and-could-strike-mars-1756785567924">Is 3I/ATLAS not alone?

European Space Agency’s Near-Earth Objects Coordination Centre said that it will keep showing up till the end of the century.

A woman immigrant in Ireland says her noisy Indian neighbours have made living in the neighbourhood extremely tough for her. She spoke about them in a Reddit post, stating that when she confronted them about the loud noise, they got "aggressive, argumentative, and confrontational." She explained in her post that she has met other Indians, and those encounters have always been pleasant. But 14 months ago, a group of Indian men moved into her neighbourhood. She says they get very loud after 10 at night and also smoke weed outside. The 33-year-old wrote, “14 months ago, a bunch of young Indian men moved in next door. They are always loudly talking and laughing.” The woman further explains that she and her husband tried talking to them about the excessive commotion at night, but it fell on deaf ears.&nbsp;"Did we talk to them? Yes. More than 3 times. Nothing changed. They said sorry, and they did it again. They said it would never happen, and it happened again," she wrote. The woman says that she has been living in Ireland since 2008, and even in the bustling Dublin city centre. "Nothing beats this loudness. Loud, constant until midnight,” she wrote. The last time she tried talking to them, they became "aggressive". Users advised her to make a complaint with the Garda Síochána, or the Gardaí, the national police force in the Republic of Ireland. An official complaint about their behaviour will become a hurdle if these men decide to apply for citizenship.Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/pattaya-indian-men-refuse-to-pay-sex-worker-claiming-she-misled-them-about-her-figure-1753503731343">Indian men refuse to pay sex worker in Pattaya claiming she misled them about her figure</a>Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/thailand-tiger-park-attacks-indian-man-dangerous-incident-1748595965070">Indian man walking a tiger caught unawares as the animal charges at him at popular Thailand attraction</a> Social media slams Indian men behaving insensitively in foreign countriesOther users compare the situation to how it is in India, where loud noises are acceptable, but since these men are not in India, they should not behave in this manner.

US President Donald Trump on Tuesday (Sep 2) made a bonkers claim that is in direct contradiction to what the White House said about a mysterious video that has led to a flood of speculation online. When asked about a video of a person dressed in white heaving mysterious objects out of a top-floor White House window, Trump alleged that it was an AI-generated video. However, just a little while earlier, the White House in a statement had said that the object being thrown out of the window was part of "regular maintenance". So, what's up with the contradictory claims? Here's all you need to know about the latest controversy surrounding Trump.Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/trump-s-wannabe-assassin-ryan-wesley-routh-issues-insane-golf-challenge-he-wins-execute-me-i-win-1756869739998">Trump's wannabe assassin Ryan Wesley Routh issues insane golf challenge: 'He wins, execute me, if I win...'</a><h2>Peculiar video sparks speculations.</h2>On Monday, an Instagram account 'washingtonianprobs', which posts Washington-focused content, posted a video submitted by an anonymous person which showed a person dressed in white throwing out what appeared to be a black bag along with some other unidentified objects out the White House window.The video set in motion a flurry of speculation and satire, with netizens "guessing" what was thrown out. The top guesses were "the constitution," “Epstein files,” and Trump's "poopie diapers". The video, which came to light amid rumours of Trump's ill health, had people speculating that with Trump sick, something nefarious was underfoot at the US presidential residence.Watch it here:

<h2>White House vs President Trump: Who's lying?</h2>When asked about the curious video, the White House told Time that the things being dropped out of the window were "regular maintenance"."It was a contractor who was doing regular maintenance while the President was gone," said a White House official.Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/jeffrey-epstein-files-released-33-000-pages-posted-online-for-all-to-see-here-s-what-we-know-1756860716401">Jeffrey Epstein files released: 33,000 pages posted online for all to see. Here's what we know</a>Meanwhile, Trump, during a press conference, claimed that the video was "probably AI-generated". He added, "Actually, you can't open the windows, you know why? They're all heavily armoured and bullet-proofed." He was prodded further about whether it was a "fake video" and the POTUS said, "Well it's gotta be because I know every window up there. The last place I'd been doing it is that because there's cameras all over the place, right?".Adding an anecdote, he continued, "In fact, my wife was complaining about it the other day. She said, 'I'd love to have a little fresh air come in,' but you can't because they're bulletproof… Number one, they're sealed, and number two, each window weighs about six hundred pounds".

Trump is, in fact, correct. According to the White House History Association, multiple windows of the Oval Office have been equipped with bulletproof glass since World War II. A quick search on the internet also confirms that most of the windows are sealed shut; some old, ceremonial ones are retrofitted from the inside. In conclusion, it still remains a mystery: How was the White House window open? And what was heaved out of the top floor?&nbsp;

A recent viral video showing an object being thrown out of a White House window has led to conflicting explanations from the White House and President Donald Trump. Who's lying? Here's all we know.

US President Donald Trump on Tuesday (Sep 2) made a bonkers claim that is in direct contradiction to what the White House said about a mysterious video that has led to a flood of speculation online. When asked about a video of a person dressed in white heaving mysterious objects out of a top-floor White House window, Trump alleged that it was an AI-generated video. However, just a little while earlier, the White House in a statement had said that the object being thrown out of the window was part of "regular maintenance". So, what's up with the contradictory claims? Here's all you need to know about the latest controversy surrounding Trump. Also read | Trump's wannabe assassin Ryan Wesley Routh issues insane golf challenge: 'He wins, execute me, if I win...' Peculiar video sparks speculations. On Monday, an Instagram account 'washingtonianprobs', which posts Washington-focused content, posted a video submitted by an anonymous person which showed a person dressed in white throwing out what appeared to be a black bag along with some other unidentified objects out the White House window. The video set in motion a flurry of speculation and satire, with netizens "guessing" what was thrown out. The top guesses were "the constitution," “Epstein files,” and Trump's "poopie diapers". The video, which came to light amid rumours of Trump's ill health, had people speculating that with Trump sick, something nefarious was underfoot at the US presidential residence. Watch it here:

Shubhanshu Shukla, the first Indian to visit the ISS and the second Indian to travel into space, shared a fascinating video revealing how he managed meals aboard the International Space Station (ISS). In the video, he explained the unique routines astronauts must follow while eating in zero gravity.&nbsp;“Food in space. Never thought I would have to learn to eat again. Here I am explaining why habits matter when you are eating in space. If you are not mindful you can easily create a mess and you don’t want to be that guy. Solid mantra that works for anything in space ‘Slow is Fast’,” Shukla wrote in a post on his social media platform X.

He also shared an interesting fact about gravity, mentioning that people don’t need it to digest food, as the ‘peristalsis’ process helps in the digestion of food.&nbsp;“Other interesting fact is we don’t need gravity to digest food. A process called ‘peristalsis’ is responsible for digestion which is gravity independent. It is the contraction and relaxation of muscles to push food down through the digestive tract. Head up or head down, gravity or no gravity your body will always digest food. Bon appetit," he added.Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/-passing-over-india-shubhanshu-shukla-shares-visuals-captured-during-his-space-mission-1756104274027">'Passing over India': Shubhanshu Shukla shares visuals captured during his space mission</a>&nbsp;In the clip, Shukla highlights the challenges of eating and drinking in space, showing how items are secured with Velcro to prevent them from floating away.
