Jharkhand election: 8 factors that helped JMM-led alliance to beat out the BJPThe USS Zumwalt is at a Mississippi shipyard where workers have installed missile tubes that replace twin turrets from a gun system that was never activated because it was too expensive. Once the system is complete, the Zumwalt will provide a platform for conducting fast, precision strikes from greater distances, adding to the usefulness of the warship. “It was a costly blunder. But the Navy could take victory from the jaws of defeat here, and get some utility out of (the ships) by making them into a hypersonic platform,” said Bryan Clark, a defence analyst at the Hudson Institute. The US has had several types of hypersonic weapons in development for the past two decades, but recent tests by both Russia and China have added pressure to the US military to hasten their production. Hypersonic weapons travel beyond Mach 5, five times the speed of sound, with added manoeuvrability making them harder to shoot down. Last year, The Washington Post newspaper reported that among the documents leaked by former Massachusetts Air National Guard member Jack Teixeira was a defence department briefing that confirmed China had recently tested an intermediate-range hypersonic weapon called the DF-27. While the Pentagon had previously acknowledged the weapon’s development, it had not recognised its testing. One of the US programmes in development and planned for the Zumwalt is the Conventional Prompt Strike. It would launch like a ballistic missile and then release a hypersonic glide vehicle that would travel at speeds seven to eight times faster than the speed of sound before hitting the target. The weapon system is being developed jointly by the Navy and Army. Each of the three Zumwalt-class destroyers would be equipped with four missile tubes, each with three of the missiles for a total of 12 hypersonic weapons per ship. In choosing the Zumwalt, the Navy is attempting to add to the usefulness of a 7.5 billion US dollars (£5.9 billion) warship that is considered by critics to be an expensive mistake despite serving as a test platform for multiple innovations. The Zumwalt was envisioned as providing land-attack capability with an advanced gun system with rocket-assisted projectiles to open the way for Marines to charge ashore. But the system featuring 155mm guns hidden in stealthy turrets was cancelled because each of the rocket-assisted projectiles cost up to one million dollars (£790,000). Despite the stain on their reputation, the three Zumwalt-class destroyers: Zumwalt, Michael Monsoor and Lyndon B Johnson; remain the Navy’s most advanced surface warships in terms of new technologies. Those innovations include electric propulsion, an angular shape to minimise radar signature, an unconventional wave-piercing hull, automated fire and damage control and a composite deckhouse that hides radar and other sensors. The US is accelerating development because hypersonics have been identified as vital to US national security with “survivable and lethal capabilities”, said James Weber, principal director for hypersonics in the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Critical Technologies. “Fielding new capabilities that are based on hypersonic technologies is a priority for the defence department to sustain and strengthen our integrated deterrence, and to build enduring advantages,” he said.

This move will mark a strategic shift in the US-India defence relationship. Published: December 7, 2024 11:05 PM IST By Edited by Pakistan may acquire Chinese J-35A fifth-generation stealth fighter for its air force. It’s a move that could significantly alter the balance of power in South Asia. India currently does not have a fifth-generation aircraft. Experts assess that in the changed geopolitical situation, the US may offer F-35A to India, which will be the answer to the Chinese J-35A for regional balance. This move will mark a strategic shift in the US-India defence relationship. China’s J-35 stealth fighter J-35A is equipped with advanced avionics, which has the ability to deploy modern weapons. If Pakistan acquires this aircraft, it can significantly increase its air warfare capabilities. It has the potential to alter the regional balance of power. However, the J-35A has not yet demonstrated its potential in real combat. India will need counter measures Due to the proximity between China and Pakistan, it is believed that Islamabad can get these fighters. The inclusion of the J-35A in Pakistan’s arsenal means that India will need strong counter-measures especially when China has a fleet of fifth-generation fighter aircraft like the J-20, which is constantly growing. The evolving situation in South Asia could pose an opportunity for the Pentagon to strengthen its strategic partnership with India and contain China’s influence. The offer of the F-35A to India could provide a decisive technological advantage. The F-35A is currently considered among the most advanced fighters in the world, having proven its capabilities in combat. Obstacles in acquiring American F-35 However, there are obstacles in acquiring the American F-35A for India. India has bought the S-400 air defense system from Russia, which could complicate this deal. US rules regarding the deployment of F-35 to countries possessing Russian systems are very strict. Experts suggest that to reduce these risks, the US can impose conditions for the sale of F-35A to India. Under these conditions, F-35 operations could be kept away from S-400 batteries. Simultaneously, more surveillance and inter-operation measures should be implemented with the US forces to protect sensitive technologies. Challenge for India Before acquiring the F-35A, India will have to carefully look at its possible implications. The F-35A is known for its high acquisition and maintenance costs. Choosing the F-35 could divert resources and attention from India’s indigenous fighter jet programmes. In addition, the acceptance of the F-35A could potentially strain India’s long-standing defense relationship with Russia. For breaking news and live news updates, like us on or follow us on and .

Gayle calls for unity amid internal JLP spatsST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. (AP) — Maverick McNealy steadied himself after a rugged start Saturday with a 4-under 66 and caught up with Vince Whaley in a wild third round at the RSM Classic in which a half-dozen players had at least a share of the lead. McNealy looked as though he might have the lead when he hit wedge on the final hole that rolled just by the cup and settled 8 feet away. He missed the putt, still in great position to go after his first PGA Tour victory. Whaley, also winless on tour, birdied the 18th for a 63 and will be playing in the final group for the first time on the PGA Tour. McNealy, who joined him at 14-under 198, also shared the 54-hole lead in 2021 at the season opener in Napa, California. Whaley was playing with a sense of freedom not everyone has at the final PGA Tour event this year. He was playing on a medical extension and fulfilled the necessary points in July. The next step was finishing in the top 125 in the FedEx Cup. He secured that last week with a tie for fifth in the Bermuda Championship. Everything else feels like a bonus, and there could be no greater perk than a victory to get into the Masters and PGA Championship, along with a two-year exemption. “I’ve really got nothing to lose and everything to gain, so I’m just excited for the opportunity,” Whaley said. Opportunity abounds going into the final round. Daniel Berger shot a 63 and played his way into the final group, just two shots behind. He was tied with former Sea Island winner Mackenzie Hughes of Dundas, Ont., (65), Michael Thorbjornsen (67) and Patrick Fishburn (69). Adam Hadwin of Abbotsford, B.C., (71) dropped 23 spots to tie for 47th at 3 under. Adam Svensson of Surrey, B.C., (70) was 1 under. Berger and Thorbjornsen were among those who arrived at Sea Island outside the top 125, the number required to keep full status on tour on next year. Thorbjornsen already has that locked up as the No. 1 player in the PGA Tour University ranking. Berger needed a big week and he’s delivering, even though he says he doesn’t feel stress. Berger missed 19 months with a back injury that he feared might end his career. Now he’s healthy enough to have played 27 times this year. “Regardless when I play well, I’m going to be fine,” said Berger, who played in the 2021 Ryder Cup at Whistling Straits. “When you miss that much amount of time it takes a little bit of a while to get back. It’s just a matter of being patient and eventually good things come around.” Henrik Norlander and Hayden Springer, also on the wrong side of No. 125, each shot 63 and were among those tied for 12th, a position that currently would let them move into the top 125. Joel Dahmen, who had to make a 5-foot par putt on Friday to make the cut, shot 70 and was tied for 61st. He is at No. 124 and his future depends on a big round Sunday, along with how Thorbjornsen, Berger, Norlander and Springer fare. Closer to the top, eight players were separated by three shots. That includes Luke Clanton, the Florida State sophomore and No. 1 amateur in the world who already has three top-10 finishes on the PGA Tour and was going after another one. ___ AP golf:

NEW YORK (AP) — Sean “Diddy” Combs ‘ lawyers tried for a third time Friday to persuade a judge to let the hip-hop mogul out of jail while he awaits his sex trafficking trial, but a decision won’t come until next week as prosecutors warned of his “concerted effort” from behind bars to disrupt the case. U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian said he’ll rule promptly on Combs’ bail request after the defense and prosecution file letters by noon Monday fleshing out some of the arguments they made during a two-hour hearing in Manhattan federal court. Combs’ lawyers pitched having him await trial under around-the-clock surveillance either at his mansion on an island near Miami Beach or — after the judge scoffed at that location — at an apartment on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Their $50 million bail proposal, secured by his Florida home, essentially amounts to keeping Combs on house arrest instead of in custody at the troubled Brooklyn federal jail where he’s been held for 67 days since his September arrest. Under their plan, Combs’ lawyers said he’ll be under near-total restrictions on his ability to see or contact anyone but them. But prosecutors argued that no bail conditions can mitigate Combs’ “risk of obstruction and dangerousness to others.” Combs has routinely flouted jail rules while locked up at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, prosecutors said, accusing him of attempting to interfere with witnesses and taint the jury pool. “Really, this amounts to the defendant paying his way out of custody,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Christy Slavik told Subramanian. Defense lawyer Anthony Ricco countered that the prosecution’s portrayal of Combs as “a lawless person who doesn’t follow instructions” or “an out-of-control individual who has to be detained” is inaccurate. Another Combs lawyer, Teny Geragos, added that given the strict release conditions they’ve proposed, “it would be impossible for him not to follow rules.” Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to charges that he coerced and abused women for years with help from a network of associates and employees while silencing victims through blackmail and violence, including kidnapping, arson and physical beatings. His trial is slated to begin May 5. Two other judges previously concluded that the Bad Boy Records founder would be a danger to the community if he is freed, and an appeals court judge last month denied Combs’ immediate release while a three-judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals weighs his bail request. Friday’s hearing was the second time Combs was in court this week. On Tuesday, a judge blocked prosecutors from using as evidence papers that were seized from his cell during a jail-wide sweep for contraband and weapons. As he entered through a side door, Combs waved to relatives including his mother and several of his children in the courtroom gallery, tapping his hand to his heart and blowing kisses at them. He then hugged his lead attorney, Marc Agnifilo, before sitting at the defense table. Combs was not handcuffed or shackled and wore a beige jail uniform, occasionally pulling a pair of reading glasses from his pocket as he peered at papers in front of him. Prosecutors contend that while incarcerated the “I’ll Be Missing You” singer has orchestrated social media campaigns aimed at influencing potential jurors. They allege that he has also attempted to leak materials he believes would help his case and is contacting potential witnesses via third parties. “Simply put, the defendant cannot be trusted,” Slavik argued. In renewing their push for Combs’ release, his lawyers sought to undercut the strength of a potential key piece of evidence: a March 2016 video showing him hitting and kicking his then-girlfriend, R&B singer Cassie , in a Los Angeles hotel hallway. Prosecutors contend the assault happened during a “Freak Off,” an event in which they allege Combs used his “power and prestige” to induce female victims into drugged-up, elaborately produced sexual performances with male sex workers. Combs’ lawyers said in court papers that newly unearthed evidence refutes that, and that the video, which first aired on CNN in May, was “a minutes-long glimpse into a complex but decade-long consensual relationship” between Combs and Cassie. Slavik, responding to defense claims that the recording was manipulated or taken out of context, said prosecutors don’t have the full version because Combs paid hotel staff $100,000 “to make the original video go away.” “This is a case about violence,” Slavik told Subramanian in a final plea to keep Combs locked up. “The defendant has engaged in physical, sexual and emotional abuse of his romantic partners for years. ... He’s hit. He’s kicked. He’s dragged.”

Published 20:15 IST, November 23rd 2024 Kalpana Soren, wife of Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren, has emerged as a powerful force in the party that revitalised the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM). Ranchi: Kalpana Soren, wife of Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren, has emerged as a powerful force in the party that revitalised the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM). Her political journey, which was never her initial choice, began in earnest after her husband's arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on January 31 in connection with a money laundering case tied to an alleged land fraud. Despite the personal and political challenges posed by her husband's legal battles, Kalpana has proven to be a resilient and dynamic leader. She became a vocal figure in the opposition to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), accusing the party of being a "tyrannical force" targeting the opposition INDIA bloc. Her leadership became especially prominent during the Lok Sabha elections, where she campaigned vigorously and led the JMM’s efforts in Jharkhand, gaining the support of tribal communities and others. Kalpana’s political rise gained significant momentum after her husband's release from jail and his subsequent return to office as Chief Minister in July. She emphasised that tribals, by their very nature, do not bow to oppression, a sentiment that has resonated with many in the state. Her message has been clear - she stands firm against injustice and dictatorial forces, taking inspiration from her husband’s refusal to compromise on his principles. Kalpana's political journey began on March 4 at the JMM's 51st Foundation Day celebration in Giridih district, where she claimed that a conspiracy had been orchestrated by opponents since the Hemant Soren coalition government came to power in 2019. Hemant Soren was arrested by the ED on January 31 in connection with a money laundering case linked to an alleged land fraud. He resigned from his post before the arrest. Kalpana has been a prominent figure in INDIA bloc rallies in Jharkhand and campaigned for the alliance in the state. She was one of the key speakers at the 'Ulgulan Nyay' rally in Ranchi, attended by leaders of 28 parties on April 21. She won the Gandey bypoll, held in June along with Lok Sabha polls by 27,149 votes over her nearest BJP rival Dilip Kumar Verma and ever since has not looked back. Through her about 200 rallies in assembly elections this time, Kalpana has infused new blood in the party and has emerged as a powerful face. Kalpana, 48, holds engineering and MBA degrees. "I will fight against injustice and dictatorial forces as bowing is not in tribal DNA. I will follow my husband's footsteps. He chose to court imprisonment rather than compromise his values. I am his better half and will see to it that tyrannical forces get a befitting reply," Kalpana emphasises. She terms her husband's arrest by the ED as politically motivated and part of a plan to coerce him to join the BJP. "His arrest was part of a plan by the central government to browbeat, intimidate, and humiliate him, but they will get a befitting reply in the elections," she had said. Kalpana completed her schooling in Baripada in Odisha's Mayurbhanj district and obtained her engineering and MBA degrees in Bhubaneswar. Speculation regarding Kalpana's candidacy arose following the resignation of Ahmad in December, with the BJP claiming it was to facilitate her candidacy in case the ED issued summonses to her husband. The BJP in the state has been attacking Kalpana, saying that Champai Soren was a "caretaker and puppet chief minister" while she was the "centre of power" in Jharkhand. "All of you have reached this far in this great election campaign by shedding your blood and sweat. Every vote is precious for us. That is why we have to maintain our passion and fighting spirit until we get the certificate of victory," she emphasises. Now her luck is sealed in the EVM as she once again contested from Gandey. Kalpana has been making headlines now as Hemant finds himself increasingly facing heat from the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a case pertaining to an alleged land scam. As the ED turns up the heat on the CM, Kalpana is set to remain in the limelight.

Chi Onwurah has warned the Technology Secretary she will be “on his case” to ensure he delivers on his “huge ambitions” to make social media safe. In one of her first interviews as chair of the Commons’ Science, Innovation and Technology committee, she said the Tories were almost “criminal in their negligence” of strengthening online safety. But she said it was now the job of the new Labour government to pave the way forward, not backwards. The senior MP has hit the ground running in her new role holding the government and industry to account. On Friday she invited tech billionaire Elon Musk to give evidence to her committee - virtually or in person - in the new year. The Twitter /X boss, who is set to serve as Donald Trump ’s government efficiency tsar, has been a thorn in the Labour government’s side, making public digs about Keir Starmer and stoking tensions during the summer's riots. Acknowledging Mr Musk's “strong views on freedom of speech”, Ms Onwurah said: “I hope he won’t be afraid to accept our invitation but will look forward to exercising his own free speech and sharing his views.” She said the riots, triggered by swirling misinformation online about the murder of three girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class, exposed the reality of online harms in a very real way. It is why one of her first moves as committee chair has been to launch an inquiry into social media, misinformation and the role of algorithms - and to show the public they can have a say in how tech affects them. The MP for Newcastle upon Tyne Central and West said: “Everybody's carrying a hugely powerful computer in their pocket, but people don't necessarily think that technology is about them or for them. The key message I want to give to the public is that we shape technology. “It's not something that just happens to us. It's not something that is purely sort of driven by profit interests of billionaires. Technology is made for people, not people for technology.” Ms Onwurah, who is a qualified engineer, worked in tech for 20 years before becoming an MP, with jobs in hardware and software development as well as for media regulator Ofcom. She said she is passionate about tech and politics for the same reason - because they have the potential to “make people’s lives better”. “I'm quite upset in a way that over my lifetime as an engineer, my working life, engineering has gone from being boring but useful to being exciting but exploitative,” she said. “I think it's really important that we take steps to show that the law applies online as well as offline and that no one's above that. “Nobody is untouchable. There may be difficulties in holding people to account but the committee won't let that prevent us from identifying what the issues are and who the culprits are.” She is keen to emphasise her belief that tech can be - and should be - a force for greater good. Ms Onwurah said revolutionary artificial intelligence is already helping teachers plan lessons so they can spend more time with kids, while ministers are keenly looking into accelerating the use of tech in the NHS . The senior MP has launched an initiative in which a science or tech innovator will showcase their breakthroughs in a ten-minute presentation at every public committee session. The first guests will be two businesswomen from Newcastle who set up a company to transform the diagnosis of skin cancer. “When you're an MP and you just hear people's stories, their waiting lists on the NHS, waiting to get a test, waiting for their results, the agony that they are in, just speeding up that process will reduce the sort of physical and emotional suffering of so many,” she said. “Or the way technology can liberate access for those with disabilities. Those with hearing or sight disabilities, it can help them engage fully in the world through text to voice. There's just so many ways in which technology can help so many people.” Be the first with news from Mirror Politics POLITICS WHATSAPP: Be first to get the biggest bombshells and breaking news by joining our Politics WhatsApp group here .

Ms Onwurah, who is a Black, working-class, Geordie woman, said she wants people to know there are huge opportunities in tech and that everyone can be involved in the industry. “Technology won’t reflect you unless people in tech reflect the diversity of our great country,” she said. “There are not enough women, people of colour or working class kids. What we want to achieve as a committee is to change people’s views about science, innovation and technology and make it part of people’s lives and make people feel more in control of the impact it has on them.”
