  • Virgin Atlantic and Joby Aviation Partner for Air Taxi Service in the UK

    Virgin Atlantic and Joby Aviation Partner for Air Taxi Service in the UK

    British airline Virgin Atlantic is teaming up with Joby Aviation, a new company that makes air taxis, to make travel to and from airports in the UK faster and easier. However, the UK government still needs to give the green light for air taxis to operate.

    Virgin Atlantic’s CEO, Shai Weiss, said in an interview that they are excited to launch the service in the UK as soon as they can. He explained it simply: “Think about traveling from Canary Wharf to New York!” Canary Wharf is a major financial area in London.

    Joby Aviation plans to offer 11-minute trips connecting London Heathrow Airport and Canary Wharf, which are about 25 miles apart. The prices for these trips will be similar to current premium ride-sharing options, like Uber.

    Joby is one of the companies making electric air taxis, which are vehicles that can take off and land vertically. They hope to start services in Dubai this year or by early 2026.

    The company is waiting for the UK’s Civil Aviation Authority to approve their application, and they wish to get the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration’s certification too. One challenge they face is finding places to take off and land, called vertiports. Joby will operate some of these sites but is also looking for help from local governments and investors to build more.

    JoeBen Bevirt, the CEO of Joby, mentioned that securing these locations might take the longest time before they can launch services, similar to what they experienced in Dubai.

    Commercial details of the partnership between Virgin and Joby haven’t been shared, but Delta Air Lines owns parts of both companies. They have a similar agreement with Joby.

    Virgin Atlantic had previously partnered with another air taxi startup, Vertical Aerospace Ltd., but Weiss mentioned that partnership ended last year.

  • Investigating Sudiksha Konanki’s Disappearance: Key Details Revealed

    Investigating Sudiksha Konanki’s Disappearance: Key Details Revealed

    Joshua Riibe is a person of interest in the case of Sudiksha Konanki, a University of Pittsburgh student who has gone missing. Authorities in the Dominican Republic took away Riibe’s passport nearly 10 days after Sudiksha was last seen with him.

    Riibe, who is from Iowa and studies at St. Cloud State University, says he is helping the police. “I’m just trying to help them out,” he told NBC News. “The ocean is a dangerous place.”

    Riibe was seen with Sudiksha during an overnight trip. They were reported to have gone into the water together. On the beach, they were seen holding hands, but only Riibe returned to the hotel.

    Riibe told police they had fun on the beach on March 6 at around 4 a.m. They were with friends, but when those friends left, Riibe and Sudiksha remained. They waded into the water, but a strong wave pulled them away.

    Riibe claims he tried to save Sudiksha, saying he pulled her closer to shore and swallowed a lot of seawater, which made him sick. “The last time I saw her, I asked her if she was OK,” he recalled. However, he started to vomit and lost sight of her.

    When Riibe woke up later, he went back to his room. Police still haven’t charged him with anything. Even though police call him a person of interest, he isn’t a suspect just yet.

    Clothing believed to belong to Sudiksha was discovered on a lounge chair at the beach where she disappeared. This clothing looks familiar to what Sudiksha was wearing that night.

  • Actress Claims Co-Star Harassed Her at Holi Party in Mumbai

    Actress Claims Co-Star Harassed Her at Holi Party in Mumbai

    A famous TV actress has accused her drunk co-star of touching her inappropriately during a Holi party in Mumbai. The actress said that her 29-year-old colleague, who works for a TV channel, forced colors onto her face and grabbed her during a rooftop party arranged by her company in Jogeshwari.

    In her complaint, the actress shared what happened. She claimed the co-star, who was very drunk, sneaked up to her and applied colors to her cheeks, even though she tried to hide from him behind a stall. She also mentioned that he was making unwanted advances toward other women at the party.

    The actress said that he told her, “I love you, let’s see who can stop me from getting to you,” before he began to touch her inappropriately. Even when she tried to push him away, he wouldn’t stop.

    Feeling “mentally shocked” after the incident, she told her friends about what happened. When her friends confronted the actor, he allegedly pushed them away, leading to a physical fight.

    The police have now opened a case against the man for sexual harassment. They have called him in for questioning, and further investigation is ongoing.

  • ISRO Unveils India’s First 32-bit Microprocessors for Space Exploration

    ISRO Unveils India’s First 32-bit Microprocessors for Space Exploration

    The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has teamed up with the Semiconductor Laboratory (SCL) in Chandigarh to create two brand new 32-bit microprocessors, named Vikram 3201 and Kalpana 3201. These processors are designed especially for tough space conditions.

    Vikram 3201 is a groundbreaking achievement as it is India’s first 32-bit microprocessor made entirely in India. It was crafted using advanced technology in a special semiconductor factory in Chandigarh. This processor builds on the earlier Vikram 1601, a 16-bit microprocessor that has been in use since 2009.

    Kalpana 3201 is another amazing 32-bit processor that uses a system called SPARC V8, which is a popular type of computer architecture. It is designed to work well with open-source software, allowing developers to easily create new applications.

    Both of these processors can perform complex calculations and support programming in the Ada language—a language widely used in aerospace. ISRO has developed all the necessary software for these processors in-house, and a new C language compiler is also being planned to give even more options to users.

    These new processors are important for making India self-reliant in creating reliable processors for monitoring and controlling space launch vehicles. The first batch of Vikram 3201 processors was successfully tested in space during a recent mission named PSLV-C60.

    Along with these microprocessors, ISRO also introduced four other devices that help make the electronic systems on rockets smaller and more efficient. They include systems to gather data and manage power effectively.

    Additionally, an agreement was signed between SCL and ISRO to develop special sensors that will measure pressure in wind tunnels, enhancing research and development in aviation.

  • New Zealand Crushes Pakistan in T20I Opener – Jamieson Leads the Charge

    New Zealand Crushes Pakistan in T20I Opener – Jamieson Leads the Charge

    Christchurch, New Zealand: New Zealand is ahead 1-0 in the five-match T20I series against Pakistan. In the first match, New Zealand bowled out Pakistan for just 91 runs in 18.4 overs. New Zealand chased down the target quickly, finishing at 92 runs for just one wicket lost in only 10.1 overs.

    After the match, New Zealand captain Michael Bracewell praised the fans and mentioned it was tough to manage bowler Kyle Jamieson, who was ready to bowl his fourth over. “It was a fantastic day in front of such a great crowd. We’ve played against Pakistan before, and having them in the same team made it hard for them to recover. I had to hold Kyle back for one over. He was eager to bowl, and maybe if I had let him bowl that over, we could have limited Pakistan to an even lower score. It’s always challenging to manage bowlers in T20 matches,” said Bracewell.

    Kyle Jamieson, who was the Player of the Match, also shared his thoughts. He felt great to be playing at home and enjoyed the bowling conditions. He praised his teammates for their depth and ability to handle the situation. He mentioned how much he appreciated his bowling partner Jacob Duffy and also Zakary Foulkes.

    “It felt good to be back on home soil. The conditions were perfect for us, and Duff and I did well. We expected some big hits, but we managed to keep our bowling steady. It was a great team win. We have strong players who can take advantage of these conditions, and our bowling performance today was impressive,” Jamieson added.

    Despite new changes in their team led by Salman Agha, Pakistan struggled against New Zealand’s fast bowlers, losing by nine wickets in their first T20I match on Sunday. The Pakistani team had three debutants: Hasan Nawaz and Abdul Samad scored only a few runs, while bowler Mohammed Ali also made his first appearance.

  • Xi Jinping Declines EU-China Summit Invitation Amid Rising Tensions

    Xi Jinping Declines EU-China Summit Invitation Amid Rising Tensions

    Chinese President Xi Jinping has said no to visiting Brussels for a special meeting to celebrate 50 years of friendship between the EU and China. Instead of Xi, China will send Premier Li Qiang to meet with the leaders of the European Council and the European Commission. Usually, the Chinese Premier goes to these meetings in Brussels, and the President hosts them in China. The EU wanted Xi to attend because they think this 50th anniversary is important.

    Relations between China and Europe have gotten tense since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. The EU accuses China of supporting Russia. Last year, the EU also put tariffs (extra charges) on Chinese electric vehicles. Talks are happening to set a date for the meeting and to decide who will represent China, but the Chinese government said they have no new information about it. The EU has not yet commented on this news.

  • Power Outage in Panama: Explosion Leads to Nationwide Blackout

    Power Outage in Panama: Explosion Leads to Nationwide Blackout

    A large power outage has left Panama in darkness after an explosion and fire at the La Chorrera Thermoelectric Power Plant. Officials believe the incident was caused by a “technical fault” in one of the generators, shutting down electricity all over the country.

    Firefighters are working hard to put out the fire, and officials say that power will slowly come back in the next few hours. Panama’s President, Jose Raul Mulino, reached out to people through social media. He said, “The Director of ETESA tells me that a private power generator caused the problem. We will restore service gradually. Please stay calm.”

    The blackout has also affected drinking water. Many water treatment plants need electricity to work, so there is currently no drinking water available. Authorities have assured everyone that staff are ready on-site to turn the systems back on as soon as power is restored.

    Residents are asked to be patient while teams work to fix the situation and bring back important services across the country.
