'Worst on record': Brutal summer heat killed over 50,000 people in Europe's cities
An aerial view of scorched grass in London, the UK, on August 11, 2026. - Dan Kitwood/Getty Images More than 50,000 people are estimated to have died across Europes cities during the brutal heat waves that roiled the continent this summer making this years heat the regions deadliest on record, according to a new analysis . About two-thirds of the deaths, more than 32,600, are directly attributed to climate change, driven by fossil fuel pollution, according to the findings, published in two peer-reviewed papers in the journal Nature Health. I think we can be quite confident in stating that the summer of 2026 is likely to have been the worst on record for heat-related mortality across much of Europe, said Clair Barnes, an author on the reports and an extreme weather and climate change researcher at Imperial College London. This stark death toll is revealed just weeks before international leaders gather in Turkey for the annual UN climate talks, and days after a UN report warned the worlds chance of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels has now vanished . Were well off-track to limit the worst consequences of climate change, and governments need to realize that without faster action and coordination, things will only get worse, Barnes said. Europe is the fastest-warming continent and extreme heat, the deadliest form of extreme weather, is already becoming unbearable. Unprecedented high temperatures scorched the continent from late May until the end of August this year. It was western Europes hottest summer on record , with temperatures about 2.9 degrees Celsius (5.2 Fahrenheit) above the 1991-2020 average. Individual days, however, saw much larger anomalies, with temperatures more than 12 degrees Celsius (21.6 Fahrenheit) higher than usual in some countries. A tourist attempts to cool down near the Colosseum during a heatwave in Rome, Italy, on June 20. - Guglielmo Mangiapane/Reuters To calculate the death toll, scientists compared the temperatures in 854 cities across 30 European countries this summer with those that would have been expected in a world without climate change. They then used peer-reviewed research on the relationship between high temperatures and daily deaths to model the likely number of heat-related deaths between the start of June and the end of August. Its a method that has been found to produce death toll estimates broadly in line with those later produced by national health authorities, the scientists said. They estimated a total of 50,391 heat-related deaths across the cities, which make up about 40% of the population of the countries studied. The death toll is the highest for 26 years and substantially higher than that of previous major European heat waves in 2022 and 2003, the researchers found. Southern and western Europe were worst affected , but typically cooler northern regions, including the UK , also experienced thousands of deaths. The highest death rates were among people 85 or older, but heat can affect anyone, and more than 800 people between the ages of 20 and 44 died from heat-related reasons, according to the findings. This summer is likely to have been the most dangerously hot summer that Europe has experienced to date, the report concludes. The scientists also found the role of climate change in heat deaths is becoming more pronounced. Earlier this century, fossil fuel pollution was responsible for about 40% of heat deaths compared to around two-thirds today. Raquel Nunes, an associate professor in health and environment at the University of Warwick, who was not involved in the research, said the findings contribute to growing evidence of how deadly extreme heat can be, despite being described as a silent killer due to its impacts not always being immediately visible. One of the most concerning aspects was that the death toll was also high among younger people, with thousands under 65 estimated to have died, Nunes added. The modelled death estimates should be treated with caution as they involve several uncertainties and assumptions, said Lasse Vestergaard, chief physician at the European Mortality Monitoring Network, known as EuroMOMO. Despite this, he added, the researchers estimates are overall broadly in line with those reported over the summer by EuroMOMO. Until we kick the fossil fuel habit, we will continue to see increasingly hot and dangerous summers, Barnes said. And that means even deadlier summers on the horizon. These numbers are a stark reminder that our hotter, more extreme summers are having an increasingly severe impact on public health, she added. Behind these statistics are real people whose lives were lost and real families who grieve for them.

Nithya Sre Sumathy Sivan: Indias Tokyo 2020 Paralympics gold medallist Krishna Nagar has called for greater recognition and corporate investment in para-badminton, arguing that increased visibility and sponsorship could significantly expand opportunities for athletes in the sport. Speaking after winning silver in mens doubles SH6 with Sivarajan Solaimalai and bronze in mixed doubles SH6 with Nithya Sre Sumathy Sivan at the 2026 Asian Para Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, Nagar acknowledged the support extended by the government and sporting authorities but stressed that para-sport needs greater commercial attention to match its competitive achievements. The 2024 world champion also reflected on the tactical errors that cost him crucial points, the transition to a 15-point format and his determination to return to the top of the podium at the Los Angeles 2028 Paralympics. Nagar believes the next phase of growth for Indian para-badminton will depend not only on performances at international competitions but also on the willingness of sponsors and major companies to invest in the sport. While acknowledging the support provided by the central government, the Sports Authority of India and existing sporting programmes, he said greater commercial backing could help more para-athletes access opportunities to develop their careers. The central government supports us a lot. The Prime Minister always supports us. All the able-bodied players support us, too. They are coming up with good schemes for us, such as TOPS and Podium. The central government is always backing us to achieve more and is doing a lot for the players. So, we have the full support of the central government, Nagar told IANS in an exclusive interaction. However, Nagar believes that government assistance must be accompanied by stronger public engagement and greater interest from corporate sponsors. Drawing a comparison with cricket, he said para-sport could expand its reach considerably if it received similar levels of attention and investment. Everything is very positive for both para and able-bodied sports, from the central government to the sports authority and the funders. There is a positive response from everyone. Literally. But we have this one thing: if para sports start getting the same amount of recognition and attention as cricket, the scope for para sports will be very high. They have already grown a lot since 2021 and 2024. They should grow even more after the Asian Games. But I think the competition will be very tough by 2028. If you look at it, the biggest thing for any para athlete is money. If para athletes grow even more, it will be much better. Sponsors will be good. There are many big companies in India. If para sports are endorsed, itll be great for our sport, because there are many players in para sports, he added. For Nagar, the argument for greater investment is rooted in the results Indian para-athletes have already produced on the international stage. He believes commercial support could help strengthen the sports ecosystem and create better opportunities for athletes beyond the established names. For example, I am in the para-athletes' category. Whatever training I do, I do it with an able-bodied player. I train and compete with them, so it is better for me. I want all the endorsers to be in para sports, because para sports are getting good results. If you look at both badminton and para badminton, Pramod bhaiya (Bhagat) and I are the only people to win gold at the Olympic level. But there is no recognition for para badminton yet. You will see javelin has done very well. But para badminton has not done as well as it should have. Para badminton results come in 7-10 days. In 7-10 days, everything has to be done on the same page. I hope I can repeat everything in 2028. I know I will and get on top of the podium, he stated. Nagars call for greater recognition comes as he begins looking towards the next Paralympic cycle. Having won gold at the Tokyo Paralympics and the world title in 2024, the Indian shuttler is aiming to maintain his fitness and sharpen his game ahead of the qualification period for Los Angeles 2028, which is scheduled to begin in 2027. I am a Tokyo Paralympics gold medallist, a 2024 world champion and an Asian Games silver medallist. But it all depends on how much I have to train to maintain my fitness. I have to try as much as I can to keep my fitness at its best, Nagar said. His campaign at the Asian Para Games brought two medals in doubles, but Nagar admitted that the results also exposed areas that require attention. In the mens doubles SH6 final, he and Sivarajan struggled to sustain their intended strategy against China, with coordination issues allowing their opponents to take control of crucial exchanges. As you can see, in doubles, there were some patches where we couldnt coordinate well with each other, and the Chinese took advantage of this. We were trying to tire them out in the rally and play long rallies, but they didnt let it continue. We kept trying, thinking that the longer the rally, the better it would be for us. We waited for a long timein the sense that we tried to play with a lot of patiencebut it wasnt happening, he said. Nagar said the partnership would need more time together on court to improve its consistency, with the upcoming qualification cycle and the 2028 World Championships forming important milestones in their preparations. But its okay. The qualification year for LA will start in 2027, so we will try to do our best. We will train together as much as we can because before that, we have a world championship in 2028. Our main focus will be to do our best, Nagar expressed. Another significant adjustment on Nagars agenda is the transition to 15-point games. The Indian shuttler believes the shorter format could suit his aggressive playing style, although it will require him to be more decisive from the opening points. As of now, regarding the 15-point game, in the beginning, we would keep the first three or four points a little loose and play according to the rally. But we wont have to do that now. Now, we have to focus on the first points of the game. We will have to play as quickly as we can, because it is a 15-point game. There is no room for mercy. If you dont leave a single point, things can get out of your hands at any time. And in my category, maam, anyone can beat anyone. I mean, any player among the top eight or ten can defeat anyone, the 27-year-old said. Nagar pointed to the changing distribution of major titles in the SH6 category as evidence of the competitive depth at the top level. With different players emerging as champions across major tournaments, he believes sustained improvement will be essential to remaining among the leading contenders. In my category, I was the champion in 2021. In 2024, it was France, and I was the world champion in 2024. In 2023, at the Asian Championships, I won silver in singles and bronze in doubles. In 2024, in Paris, the French player became the champion. After that, at the World Championships, a player from the USA became world champion in February 2026. And this time, I think the Asian teams medalist will change as well. In my category, there is still no consistency. This will go on. But I think I am the only one who can win all the tournaments. However, I have to work harder and harder now. I have to prepare myself as much as I can for the 15-point format, and that is better, he mentioned. Nagar also identified his performance in the closing stages of matches as an area requiring improvement. Recalling his singles match against China, he said a substantial lead in the deciding game slipped away because of errors at crucial moments. My main event is singles, and Im good at it. I train for it, but Im a little disappointed that I didnt compete in singles. I was fully fit. Everyone was good. My endurance, agility, game and power were all good. But towards the end, I had a few technical issues. You must have seen my singles match against China. I was leading 1611 in the third set. After that, I started having some glitches. I was then leading 1917, but after that, I started making mistakes. Now I think Ill have to work a little more on all these things in the last four or five points. But as youll see, from the next tournament, all the games will be 15 points. So I think that will be beneficial for me because I play fast, powerful games. It will be very beneficial for me to play to 15 points, so Ill try to give my best. But Ill try not to repeat these mistakes. I lost my quarter-finals and semi-finals by making these mistakes, so Ill try not to repeat them. Correct. I was very confident about the Asian Gamesthat I would win them and wouldnt make a single mistake, he said. His mixed doubles campaign with Nithya Sre Sumathy Sivan offered a similar lesson. The Indian pair lost their semifinal against Indonesias Rina Marlina and Subhan after failing to convert opportunities to finish rallies, allowing their opponents to build momentum. When we had a chance to finish the shuttle, two or three times, the shuttle didnt finish. I defended the shuttle. That was our point. But they defended. From there, their mindset levelled up very confidently. After that, they changed the game a little bit. Then I tried to cover a little bit, but I made a small mistake. So they took advantage of that. For Nagar, improving his technical execution and maintaining a positive approach under pressure will be essential as he prepares for the next phase of international competition. The technical improvement is simply this: the more positively you play the game and the more positively you keep the subtlety within your court, the better. You must play your best and give your all for every point. For Nagar, improving his technical execution and maintaining a positive approach under pressure will be essential as he prepares for the next phase of international competition.

Why some people struggle to say no even when exhausted, according to psychology
Saying yes to others' requests can be a common pattern for people-pleasers, leading to stress and overcommitment.

Effective strategies for setting boundaries include pausing before answering requests and practicing refusal in low-pressure situations.
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 22 (IANS) BJP MP Ashok Mittal on Thursday criticised the Opposition for holding protests, saying that it should focus on working for the country and its people instead of wasting time on demonstrations that cause inconvenience to the public. Speaking to IANS, Mittal said the Opposition should reach out to people and work to address their concerns rather than resorting to protests. Unfortunately, the Opposition is wasting its time on protests. They should work for the country and the people. Why don't they work for the public by reaching out to them? What will these protests achieve? They are wasting their own time and causing inconvenience to people, he said. He added that such protests often lead to traffic jams and force shops to shut, inconveniencing ordinary citizens. Traffic jams occur at various places, and shops have to close. This will only distance the public from them, not bring them closer. The matter is before the Supreme Court, which is examining it, while the Election Commission is also looking into it in its own way, Mittal said. The BJP MP also spoke about the drug problem in Punjab, alleging that anti-social elements, gangsters and drug smugglers were contributing to the crisis. He claimed that the alleged nexus between drug smugglers and government officials was allowing the problem to persist. Anti-social elements, gangsters and drug smugglers are spreading the drug problem in Punjab. However, this is possible because of the government's involvement. It is very unfortunate that the government, administration and drug smugglers are working together, with links between them. When our government comes to power, there will be no such collusion, and the problem will be resolved, he told IANS. Mittal also commented on India's ongoing trade negotiations with several countries, expressing confidence that an agreement with the United States would be finalised soon. He said India had already concluded trade agreements with the United Kingdom, New Zealand and several other countries, adding that negotiations with the US had reached an advanced stage. India has already completed trade agreements with the UK, New Zealand and several other countries. The agreement with the US is at the final stage. US President Donald Trump himself has said so, and his senior ministers have also visited India. That agreement will also be completed, he said. Emphasising that India's interests would remain paramount, Mittal said any trade agreement with the US would be finalised only after taking the country's priorities into account. It is clear that India will not compromise on its interests. Any trade agreement will be concluded with India's interests in mind and will prove to be a new milestone for India and its trade, he added.
With Delhi's Air Quality Index (AQI) entering the 'poor' category, wearing a mask outdoors has become an important consideration for residents looking to reduce their exposure to polluted air.

Tiger Shroff firing case: Four more people, including two women, arrested
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 21 (IANS) The investigation into the firing incident involving Bollywood actor Tiger Shroffs car has taken a new turn, with Delhi Polices Special Cell arresting four people allegedly linked to the supply of weapons and efforts to help the shooters escape. Delhi Polices Special Cell, NDR unit, arrested four accused on October 20. They have been identified as Kunal, 21, and Sumit, 19, both residents of Sonipat district in Haryana, along with Radha, 23, from Sitapur in Uttar Pradesh, and Babita, 23, from Azamgarh in Uttar Pradesh. The investigation is examining the alleged movement of a pistol and ammunition from Amritsar to Mumbai, the role of intermediaries in delivering the weapon and the reported attempts to help the shooters leave the city after the incident. According to the police, investigators are examining the alleged roles of the four in transporting the weapon. Kunal had recently been released from jail on bail. He allegedly met Anil Pandit through a friend. The two subsequently began communicating through an encrypted messaging application, according to Delhi Police. Police allege that, on Pandits instructions, Kunal brought a pistol and 20 cartridges from Amritsar. Sumit reportedly accompanied him during the journey. According to the police account, Kunal met Radha around two months before the incident. He allegedly told her about his activities and subsequently persuaded her to carry the weapon to Mumbai. On October 15, Kunal reportedly took Radha and Babita to New Delhi railway station. The pistol was allegedly placed inside Radhas bag. On October 17, Radha and Babita reportedly arrived in Dadar and checked into a hotel. At around 11 am that day, a minor boy allegedly collected the bag from Radha near the hotel. Police are investigating who received the bag afterwards and how the weapon was allegedly used in the firing. The firing incident took place on the evening of October 18. According to Delhi Police, Anil Pandit subsequently told Kunal that the shooters were stranded in Mumbai and allegedly asked him to arrange their escape. On the same day, Radha and Babita reportedly left Dadar for Delhi aboard the Haridwar Express. The women were apprehended at New Delhi railway station on October 20, while Kunal and Sumit were detained in Sonipat. Following the firing incident, the accused reportedly fled to Surat in Gujarat, from where they boarded a Jaipur-bound train. Their alleged plan was to travel to New Delhi by bus before escaping to Nepal. Three accused were arrested by Mumbai Police in Kota, Rajasthan, in connection with the case.

People disappointed with govt on political agenda, governance: MP Aga Ruhullah
Srinagar, October 20: National Conference MP Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi on Tuesday said Kashmir had been polarised rather than normalised since 2019, alleging that Kashmiris faced hostility both within Jammu and Kashmir and in other parts of the country. Commenting on attacks on Kashmir-based buses and people outside the Union Territory, Ruhullah said, Kashmir has been polarised instead of being normalised, and I have been saying this from 2019 until now. He alleged that Kashmiris were increasingly treated as suspects and held the BJP responsible for the hostile environment. The relationship between this state and the Union was not normalised in 2019. It was made hostile, and the responsibility for that hostility lies with the BJP, he said. Ruhullah also expressed disappointment with the Jammu and Kashmir government, saying it had failed to meet people's expectations on both the political agenda and governance after two years in office. People in Jammu and Kashmir have been disappointed, unfortunately. They should not have been, he said. Questioning the government's record on Article 370, employment, reservation, electricity, students' issues and prisoners, he asked, On which parameter can we say that the government has delivered anything that we can be proud of? Referring to former chief minister Farooq Abdullah's reported remarks that the abrogation of Article 370 was wrong, Ruhullah said the focus should be on concrete steps to reverse the decision. Everyone knows that the abrogation was wrong. You know it, I know it, and most people in India know it, he said. The question is: what are we doing to reverse that decision? On protests seeking accountability from the Election Commission, Ruhullah described the demonstrations as genuine and said they could signal a revival of democratic resistance. It is a genuine protest, and it seems democracy may be starting to breathe again after being suppressed over the past 10 to 12 years, he said.

Bhagyashree urges people to burn inner evils along with Ravan this Dussehra
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 20 (IANS) Actress Bhagyashree has urged people to look beyond the traditional burning of Ravan this Dussehra and work on overcoming their own negative habits, including anger, jealousy, ego, and overthinking. Sharing her message as part of her social media series Tuesday Tips with B,' the Maine Pyaar Kiya actress encouraged people to focus on personal growth, practice gratitude, and find inner peace. In a video shared on Instagram, Bhagyashree said the victory of good over evil was not just the story of Lord Ram and Ravan, but one that related to everyone. In the clip, she said, Achchai ki burai par jeet. Yeh sirf Ram aur Ravan ki kahaani nahi, hum sabki kahaani hai. Kyuki hum sabme Ram baste hai, aur hamari buri aadatein Ravan hai. Jhoot aur gossip chhodiye, doosron ki baaton par nahi, apni growth pe focus kijiye. Khussa aur shikayate band kijiye, aur gratitude apnaiye. Eersha aur doosron se tulna karne ka koi fayda nahi. (Victory of good over evil. This is not just the story of Ram and Ravan, but a story that relates to all of us. That is because Lord Ram resides within each of us, while our bad habits represent the Ravan within. Give up lying and gossiping. Instead of focusing on what others say, concentrate on your own growth. Let go of anger and complaints, and embrace gratitude. There is no benefit in being jealous or comparing yourself with others.) Yad rakhe, aapki apni journey unique hai. Ahankar aur overthinking se zindagi nahi chalti. Agar apni hi soch ko sach maan kar chaloge, toh apna santulan kho baithoge. Jo apne haath mein nahi hai, usse chhod do. Aur sabse zaruri, dimaag ke shor ko shant kijiye, aur inner peace feel kijiye. Is dashara sirf Ravan ko hi nahi, apne andar ki buraiyon ko bhi dahan karo. Choose your tips for today. (Remember, your journey is unique. Ego and overthinking cannot help you move forward in life. If you believe that your own thoughts are always the truth, you may lose your sense of balance. Let go of things that are beyond your control. Most importantly, quieten the noise in your mind and experience inner peace. This Dussehra, burn not just the effigy of Ravan, but also the evils within yourself. Choose your tips for today.) For the caption, Bhagyashree wrote, #tuesdaytipswithb This Dussehra, lets go beyond burning Ravan and work on the negativity within us. From anger and jealousy to ego and overthinking, lets make space for peace, gratitude and growth. We all have a little Ram and Ravan within us, lets reflect on our habits and nurture the good within. Happy Dussehra. Several celebrities, including Kareena Kapoor Khan, Anil Kapoor, Madhuri Dixit, Hema Malini, and Sara Ali Khan, also took to social media to extend their Dussehra greetings.
