The Indian security sector is rapidly transforming, driven by technological advancements and evolving threats, industry executives and experts said. Artificial intelligence (AI)-powered solutions are revolutionising security systems, while strategic partnerships are fostering innovation in critical areas like quantum technology and cybersecurity, they said. With growing demand for advanced security solutions, the domestic market is expanding, positioning Indian companies as global leaders through their technological expertise and manufacturing prowess, they pointed out. “The global security industry is valued at $120 billion, growing at 8% CAGR annually until 2030. As security becomes an essential focus for governments, institutions and private sectors alike, the demand is set to increase exponentially in the coming years,” pointed out Shashank Sambyal, zonal head for the north and east region at Godrej Enterprises. “Government regulations like Standardisation Testing & Quality Certification (STQC), are strengthening industry standards, ensuring secure data management,” Mr. Sambyal said. M.A. Johar, president of strategic business at CP Plus, said, “The CCTV surveillance sector in India is currently valued at approximately ₹9,000 crore, growing at rate of 30% annually. The potential for further expansion is immense, and Indian brands are gaining global attention as the world increasingly looks towards India for surveillance solutions.” ‘Demand for cameras’ “The integration of AI technologies is revolutionising the industry. AI enhances the functionality of cameras by offering real-time monitoring, proactive alerts, and data analytics. We are also witnessing how the demand for cameras has expanded beyond traditional security applications,” he added.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Alyssa Nakken, the first woman to coach in a Major League Baseball game, is leaving the San Francisco Giants to join the Cleveland Guardians. Nakken made history in 2022 when she took over as first-base coach following an ejection. A former college softball star at Sacramento State, Nakken joined the Giants in 2014 and was promoted to a spot on manager Gabe Kapler's staff in 2020, becoming the majors' first full-time female coach. Nakken has been hired as an assistant director within player development for the Guardians, who won the AL Central last season under first-year manager Stephen Vogt — the AL Manager of the Year. With Cleveland, the 34-year-old Nakken will work with former Giants coaches Craig Albernaz and Kai Correa. Her exact duties are still being determined. "We thank Alyssa Nakken for her incredible contributions to the San Francisco Giants and for trailblazing a path for women in sports,” the Giants said in a statement on Friday. "Her leadership, dedication, and passion for the game have inspired countless individuals, and her impact has been truly transformative for the Giants organization and the baseball community. “As she embarks on this exciting new chapter in her career, we have no doubt that she’ll continue to inspire and achieve great things. We wish her and her family nothing but the best.” Nakken is the second on-field female coach hired by the Guardians. In 2023, the club brought in Amanda Kamekona as their hitting development coach for their year-round training academy in Goodyear, Arizona. Last season, she was an assistant hitting coach at Double-A Akron. Kamekona was twice a third-team All-American at UCLA after transferring from Cal State Fullerton. AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb
The Reform UK leader pushed back against reports suggesting that legal action would be the next step, saying he would make a decision in the next couple of days about his response if there is no apology for the “crazy conspiracy theory”. Mr Farage also said the party has “opened up our systems” to media outlets, including The Daily Telegraph and The Financial Times, in the interests of “full transparency to verify that our numbers are correct”. His remarks came after Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch accused Mr Farage of “fakery” in response to Reform claiming they had surpassed the Tories in signed-up members. Mrs Badenoch said Reform’s counter was “coded to tick up automatically”. A digital counter on the Reform website showed a membership tally before lunchtime on Boxing Day ticking past the 131,680 figure declared by the Conservative Party during its leadership election earlier this year. Mr Farage, on whether he was threatening legal action or not, told the PA news agency: “I haven’t threatened anything. I’ve just said that unless I get an apology, I will take some action. “I haven’t said whether it’s legal or anything.” He added: “All I’ve said is I want an apology. If I don’t get an apology, I will take action. “I will decide in the next couple of days what that is. So I’ve not specified what it is.” Mr Farage, on the move to make membership data available to media organisations, said: “We feel our arguments are fully validated. “She (Mrs Badenoch) has put out this crazy conspiracy theory and she needs to apologise.” On why Mrs Badenoch had reacted as she did, Mr Farage said: “I would imagine she was at home without anybody advising her and was just angry.” Mr Farage, in a statement issued on social media site X, also said: “The accusations of fraud and dishonesty made against me yesterday were disgraceful. “Today we opened up our systems to The Telegraph, Spectator, Sky News and FT in the interests of full transparency to verify that our data is correct. “I am now demanding Kemi Badenoch apologises.” A Conservative Party source claimed Mr Farage was “rattled” that his Boxing Day “publicity stunt is facing serious questions”. They added: “Like most normal people around the UK, Kemi is enjoying Christmas with her family and looking forward to taking on the challenges of renewing the Conservative Party in the New Year.” Mrs Badenoch, in a series of messages posted on X on Thursday, said: “Farage doesn’t understand the digital age. This kind of fakery gets found out pretty quickly, although not before many are fooled.” There were 131,680 Conservative members eligible to vote during the party’s leadership election to replace Rishi Sunak in the autumn. Mrs Badenoch claimed in her thread that “the Conservative Party has gained thousands of new members since the leadership election”. Elsewhere, Mr Farage described Elon Musk as a “bloody hero” and said he believes the US billionaire can help attract younger voters to Reform. Tech entrepreneur Mr Musk met Mr Farage earlier this month at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, amid rumours of a possible donation to either Mr Farage or Reform. Mr Farage told The Daily Telegraph newspaper: “The shades, the bomber jacket, the whole vibe. Elon makes us cool – Elon is a huge help to us with the young generation, and that will be the case going on and, frankly, that’s only just starting. “Reform only wins the next election if it gets the youth vote. The youth vote is the key. Of course, you need voters of all ages, but if you get a wave of youth enthusiasm you can change everything. “And I think we’re beginning to get into that zone – we were anyway, but Elon makes the whole task much, much easier. And the idea that politics can be cool, politics can be fun, politics can be real – Elon helps us with that mission enormously.”
NoneTEHRAN – Mohammad Eslami, head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), assured reporters on Saturday that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will continue to have access to Iran’s nuclear facilities under the framework of the Safeguards Agreement and the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). “We operate within the framework of the Safeguards Agreement, adhering precisely to their regulations—nothing more, nothing less,” Eslami stated during the 25th International Research, Technology, and Tech-Market Exhibition in Tehran. The nuclear chief reiterated that Iran has "not created and will not create any obstacles for the IAEA's inspections and access." Commenting on Iran’s approval of tougher safeguards measures by the IAEA, including increased inspections at the Fordow uranium enrichment facility, Eslami noted, “Our [nuclear] capacity is increasing, and it’s only natural that the number of inspections should also increase.” Reuters reported on Friday that Iran has agreed to enhanced monitoring by the U.N. nuclear watchdog at its Fordow facility, where it claimed uranium enrichment "has approached weapons-grade levels." According to the news agency, the IAEA's confidential report noted that Iran will increase the frequency and intensity of safeguards measures at the site and is cooperating with the implementation of new enhanced protocols. Tehran recently decided to accelerate uranium enrichment and deploy new advanced centrifuges after a November anti-Iran IAEA resolution. The resolution, pushed by the U.S. and the European troika, accused Iran of non-cooperation under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), a nuclear deal Washington officially left in 2018 and Europe began shunning the same year. The resolution demanded a comprehensive report on Iran’s nuclear activities by spring 2025. Following the censure, Iran significantly sped up its production of highly enriched uranium by increasing the enrichment level of uranium feedstock from 5% to 20% At its Fordow facility. Its highest uranium enrichment level at other facilities is 60%. Tehran had offered to slow enrichment if the resolution was dropped. During a phone call with IAEA’s Director-General Rafael Grossi this week, Iran’s foreign minister reiterated that the resolution Europe passed at the UN nuclear watchdog’s Board of Governors in November prevented Grossi from harvesting the results of his earlier visit to Iran. “While we will not hesitate to retaliate, we are still prepared and willing to continue constructive cooperation with the IAEA within relevant technical frameworks.” Meanwhile, the possibility of diplomatic progress on Iran's nuclear program continues to diminish as Europe seems poised to maintain its hostile stance towards Iran. Reuters reported Wednesday that Germany, France, and Britain have told the United Nations Security Council they are ready to “snap back” sanctions against Iran. The snapback mechanism outlined in UN Resolution 2231 permits permanent members of the Security Council and Germany to reinstate UN sanctions if Iran violates JCPOA obligations. The JCPOA signed by Iran and the P5+1 (the US, UK, France, Germany, China, and Russia) in 2015, sought to limit Iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief. However, the US withdrawal from the agreement in 2018 under President Trump reimposed sanctions, which European nations, despite remaining as official signatories to the deal, have been unable to mitigate. Washington no longer retains the authority to trigger the mechanism following its exit from the pact. Iran argues that European signatories to the deal also lack the moral and legal justice to activate snapback as they have too failed to uphold their commitments. Some Iranian officials have warned that if the E3 snap backs international sanctions, Tehran would consider leaving the NPT. During the Saturday ceremony, Tehran showcased its technological prowess by unveiling a domestically-made high-power radio frequency generator. Produced by the Nuclear Science and Technology Research Institute (NSTRI), the generator is essential for electron accelerators and meets critical needs in various sectors, including nuclear agriculture. Commenting on the country’s latest nuclear achievement, Eslami emphasized the AEOI’s goal of generating 20,000 megawatts of nuclear electricity by 2042, underscoring the high efficiency and recyclability of nuclear power plants. In recent years, Iran's nuclear industry has also expanded into pharmaceutical production, currently supplying 69 different specialized drugs, with research underway on an additional 20. These radiopharmaceuticals are particularly instrumental in cancer treatment.
