Two more held for sending obscene messages to actress Ramya
BENGALURU: Two more persons were arrested on Sunday for allegedly sending vulgar messages to actor and former MP Ramya on Instagram. So far, a total of four accused have been arrested by the Central Crime Branch (CCB) officers in connection with the case. The police said the two arrested individuals have been identified as Rajesh and Bhuvan Gowda. In addition, 11 more individuals have been identified in connection with the online abuse. Efforts are underway to track down the remaining accused, the police added. A CCB officer said, We are verifying whether they are fans of a particular actor, but we are taking the case seriously as it involves online abuse. Ramya filed a complaint with the city police commissioner on July 28 against 43 social media accounts after receiving misogynistic, obscene, and threatening comments, allegedly from fans and fan groups of actor Darshan. This followed her expression of support for the Supreme Courts observations in the Renukaswamy murder case, in which Darshan is the prime accused. She had demanded justice for the victims family.

Desi Boys on the Block: Indian Boyband formed by 1D, Ariana Grande, and Ed Sheeran hitmaker to debut
In the '90s, when musician Savan Kotecha first entered the US music industry with dreams of being in a boy band, he was bluntly told that no girl will put an Indian guy on her wall and he should focus on songwriting instead. I knew back then that was true, but I always waited for the day when it would be possible to do it, says Kotecha. Having written hits like What Makes You Beautiful and One Thing for One Direction, God Is A Woman for Ariana Grande, Sapphire for Ed Sheeran, and many more, Kotecha has put together a boy band under his label Visva Records, along with Republic Records, and Universal Music India which may just make his doubters in the 90s change their minds. Named OutStation, the band has 5 members from across the country between the ages of 17 and 22. One member, Bhuvan Shetty, is from Udupi, Karnataka. Others include Hemang Singh from Prayagraj, Mashaal Shaikh from Goa, Kurien Sebastian, a Malayali from Delhi, and Shayan Pattem from Hyderabad. The aim was to create a band that feels truly Indian, says Kotecha, adding. I think what K-pop did right was that it got so big in South Korea that the rest of the world had to pay attention. We dont need to look to the West for validation. I want them to become a phenomenon in India first, and if it gets big enough, the West will pay attention. Shetty was scouted through his social media profile, where he regularly covers songs with a guitar accompanying his soulful voice. Clearing a multi-round audition process, he was put in a boot camp with 11 other boys. The camp was pretty hectic, there was no time at all, but it was life-changing, says Shetty. Kotecha explains its purpose, ending with 5 boys finally selected, We made sure we had vocal coaches and choreographers teaching them, but we also did things like go busking on the beach and start performing, getting them used to what being in a band would feel like. It was a chemistry test, but also about seeing everyones work ethic. Savan Kotecha What can we expect the band to sound like? Kotecha has envisioned a pan-Indian musical flavour that still feels like the pop music that people love about boy bands. While we arent completely sure of the final sound at this stage, we want to bring a regional touch to pop music, says Shetty, who taught himself classical music and grew up listening to 5 Seconds of Summer and Yungblud. He shares a glimpse into what the band is working on, saying, Weve worked on a few verses and choruses so far and are planning to make a bunch of short songs adding up to 40-45 minutes long. While Kotecha emphasises that OutStation will sound completely different from One Direction, with whom hes worked extensively, he admits to bringing some things hes learnt with them to his work with OutStation. When One Direction was first put together, chemistry and the bond they had together were really important. It has been the same for OutStation to give them the freedom to be themselves. For example, none of the guys are natural dancers, so while theyre going to move on stage, were not doing any elaborate choreographies, says Kotecha, revealing that the band will soon start performing in different cities. Since the announcement, OutStation has been preparing for their debut in Mumbai and keeping their fledgling fanbase updated through social media short covers of songs, moments from their days, and snippets of studio sessions. In the morning, I do my riyaaz, which I never skip, then movement sessions, performance practice, vocal lessons lists off Shetty. What is the dream all this work is leading up to? I want to go all out, says Shetty with the hint of a smile, Be the greatest boy band that ever existed.
Liquid Glass is a huge new change coming to iOS 26. (Apple) You've seen all the changes coming to your iPhone and now you're desperately ready to upgrade to iOS 26 but it's only August and the operating system won't be here until this fall. But I have good news: you can test out all the features now by downloading and installing Apple's public beta , which CEO Tim Cook says is (along with the other current beta operating systems) y far the most popular developer betas weve had, 9to5Mac reports . You can also take a look at our preview of the iOS 26 public beta release , which shows off the fresh home and lock screen redesign. Called Liquid Glass , the new translucent look will extend across all of Apple's upcoming operating systems. The overhaul is one of several big changes coming to iOS, macOS , iPadOS and the rest of Apple's software suite, all of which were showcased during the company's WWDC keynote on June 9. After overpromising on AI plans last year, Apple kept its iOS roadmap focused more on basic quality of life improvements this year. There are multiple useful additions coming to the Phone and Messages apps on your iPhone, for instance: Apple execs outlined the ability to weed out spam texts or other unknown senders and an option to hold your spot on a phone call when you've been waiting for a representative to pick up. Plus, a treasured feature that we took for granted is coming back (hint: it's in the Photos app). Siri, meanwhile, is in a holding pattern. Apple has previously specified that its smarter voice assistant first promised at WWDC 2024 is delayed until some point in the coming year , so you shouldn't expect any major changes in the current betas. But there are reports that Apple is aiming to give Siri a bigger brain transplant by basing it on third-party artificial intelligence models like OpenAI's ChatGPT or Anthropic's Claude, which could make 2026 a pivotal year. The company is also reportedly working on a 'stripped-down' AI chatbot to rival ChatGPT. With each beta, it seems like additional new improvements are popping up, like this FaceTime feature that'll freeze your video if it detects nudity . Most newer iPhone models are eligible to download iOS 26 (both the betas and final version). Want to see the full list of new features coming this fall? Read on. What is iOS 26? The current iPhone operating system is iOS 18, and Apple is still actively updating it version 18.6 was just recently released. But don't expect to see iOS 19. Instead, Apple is skipping the numbering ahead to iOS 26 later this year. The company has decided to line up its iOS version numbers with a year-based system, similar to car model years. So while iOS and its sibling operating systems will be released in late 2025, they're all designated 26 to reflect the year ahead. (Meanwhile, iOS 18 is still getting new versions this summer , too.) It's official, we're moving to iOS 26. (Apple) What is Liquid Glass design? Let's be honest. Out of everything announced at WWDC this year, the new Liquid Glass design was the star of the show. The iPhone's home and lock screens have looked pretty much the same year after year the last exciting thing (in my opinion) was the option to add your own aesthetic to your home screen by customizing your apps and widgets. So seeing the home and lock screens' new facelift is refreshing. So what exactly is Liquid Glass? Apple calls it a new translucent material since, well, the apps and widgets are clear. However, the screen can still adapt to dark and light modes, depending on surroundings. You'll also notice buttons with a new floating design in several apps, like Phone and Maps. They're designed to be less distracting than the current buttons, but are still easy to see. While the design overhaul has proven to be controversial since its announcement, some including Engadget's own Devindra Hardawar like the new direction, even if it's somewhat reminiscent of Microsoft's translucent Windows Vista Aero designs from nearly twenty years ago. That said, as of the release of the iOS 26 beta 2, Apple has already incorporated some user feedback into the design, dialing back the transparency in at least some places. And while it will continue to evolve, Apple users won't be able to escape it: Liquid Glass was designed to make all of Apple's OSes more cohesive. Here's a look at how the translucent aesthetic will look with the new macOS Tahoe 26 on your desktop. What are the new and notable features of iOS 26? iOS 26 has a laundry list of new features. Among the most worthwhile: Phone app redesign: You'll finally be able to scroll through contacts, recent calls and voicemail messages all on one screen. It also comes with a new feature called Hold Assist that'll notify you when an agent comes to the phone so you can avoid the elevator music and continue on with other tasks. Live Translation in Phone, FaceTime and Messages: iOS 26 is bringing the ability to have a conversation via phone call or text message with someone who speaks another language. Live Translation will translate your conversation in real time, which results in some stop-and-go interactions in the examples Apple shared during its presentation. Polls in group chats: Tired of sorting through what seems like hundreds of messages in your group chat? You and your friends will soon be able to create polls in group messages for deciding things like which brunch spot you're eating at or whose car you're taking on a road trip. Filtering unknown senders in Messages: If you haven't received spam texts about unpaid tolls or other citations, you're lucky. For those of us who have, those annoying messages will soon be filtered away in a separate folder. Visual Intelligence: Similar to a reverse Google image search, this new feature will allow you to search for anything that's on your iPhone screen. For instance, if you spot a pair of shoes someone is wearing in an Instagram photo, you can screenshot it and use Visual Intelligence to find those shoes (or similar ones) online. Photos tabs are back: For anyone who's still frustrated with the Photos changes made last year , you'll be happy to know that your tabs are coming back. Library and Collections will have their own separate spaces so you don't have to scroll to infinity to find what you're looking for. FaceTime Communication Safety feature: A newer addition to iOS 26 appears to be the FaceTime Communication Safety feature that pauses communications if and when nudity is detected. The feature appears to be a child safety feature that uses on-device detection, thus obviating any cloud-based privacy issues. Apple's Hold Assist will be nifty for those pesky services that put you on hold for 10 or more minutes. (Apple) Which iPhones will be able to upgrade to iOS 26? A few iPhone models that run the current version of iOS iPhone XR, XS and XS Max won't be compatible with the latest upgrade. But any iPhones released in 2019 or later will be eligible for the iOS 26 update . iPhone SE (second generation or later) iPhone 11 iPhone 11 Pro iPhone 11 Pro Max iPhone 12 iPhone 12 mini iPhone 12 Pro iPhone 12 Pro Max iPhone 13 iPhone 13 mini iPhone 13 Pro iPhone 13 Pro Max iPhone 14 iPhone 14 Plus iPhone 14 Pro iPhone 14 Pro Max iPhone 15 iPhone 15 Plus iPhone 15 Pro iPhone 15 Pro Max iPhone 16e iPhone 16 iPhone 16 Plus iPhone 16 Pro iPhone 16 Pro Max Not listed here are the presumed new iPhone 17 models (or maybe iPhone 26?) that are all but certain to be announced and released in September. How to install iOS 26 beta The iOS 26 public beta is now available to download via the Apple Beta Software Program . If you're not already a member, you'll need to sign up to try out all the latest features. Just visit beta.apple.com and sign up with your phone number or email address. It's free. Once you're in, you can install it by going to Settings > General > Software Update and selecting iOS 26 public beta . A word of caution: Don't sign up with your main iPhone unless you're OK with any risks that occur with using an OS that isn't finalized. When will the final version of iOS 26 be released? iOS 26 will be released to the public this fall. It usually comes in September, within a week of the Apple iPhone event. Last year, it rolled out to iPhone users on September 16 exactly one week after the iPhone 16 lineup was announced. If you're more interested in the Apple Intelligence features coming, here's everything Apple revealed for iOS, macOS and more during WWDC. Also, check out how iOS 26 screenshots could be an intriguing preview of Apple's delayed Siri rework . Update, August 4: Noted that Apple is reportedly working on a ChatGPT rival. Update, August 1: Added quote from Tim Cook about iOS 26. Update, July 31: Noted that iOS 18.6 is now available. Update, July 24: Noted the iOS 26 public beta is now available.

Major rivers flowing above danger mark in UP as incessant rains claim a dozen lives
LUCKNOW: At least five rivers in Uttar Pradesh are flowing above the danger mark and many others are in spate owing to the incessant heavy rains during the last 50 hours, which have claimed over a dozen lives so far. Continuous rainfall and overflowing rivers have triggered a major flood crisis affecting at least 20 districts, including Varanasi, Prayagraj, Mirzapur, Jhansi, Agra, Kanpur Dehat, and Kanpur Nagar. Rising water levels in the Ganga, Yamuna, and Chambal rivers have inundated hundreds of homes and cut off villages. Relief and rescue teams from the SDRF, NDRF, and PAC have been pressed into service in the worst-hit areas. The monsoon remains active in both eastern and western parts of UP due to a strong monsoon trough. Heavy rainfall has been reported in Lucknow prompting the District Magistrate to declare all schools from Classes 1 to 12 closed on Monday. Similar orders were issued in Sultanpur, where government and private schools up to Class 8 were shut. Eastern Uttar Pradesh recorded 18.4 mm of rainfall in the last 24 hours, nearly 146% above the normal level of 7.5 mm. Western UP saw 8.2 mm of rainfall compared to an expected 7.2 mm, 14% above normal. The IMD has issued warnings of thunderstorms and heavy rainfall for over 60 districts. The Met department issued a red alert for very heavy rainfall in Siddharthnagar, Gonda, Balrampur, Shravasti, Bahraich, Lakhimpur Kheri, Sitapur, Mathura, Hathras, Agra, Bareilly, Pilibhit, Shahjahanpur, Sambhal, and Badaun. Alerts for heavy rain have also been issued in 40+ additional districts, including Lucknow, Kanpur, Meerut, Muzaffarnagar, Ayodhya, Moradabad, and Etawah. Lightning warnings are in effect for nearly the entire state. The flood situation is grim across the state with the Team 11, constituted by UP CM Yogi Adityanath, comprising ministers, on ground zero to oversee the rescue and relief. With the CM personally monitoring the situation, the flood relief and rescue operations intensified across the state. Varanasi, Prayagraj and Kanpur are among the worst-affected divisions. In Varanasi, families have been waiting for hours for their turn to perform the last rites of their near and dear ones at the ghats as rising waters of the swollen Ganga spilled on to the streets on Monday leaving the Manikarnika and Harishchandra ghat cremation grounds completely inundated. While pyres were being laid at the upper platform at Manikarnika Ghat, cremations took place in the streets near Harishchandra ghat. With the majority of the 84 ghats along the Ganga submerged, flood waters had been flowing on roads especially in upstream areas. The fury of the Ganga is not only gripping Kashi but also affecting the lives of thousands in neighbouring Ballia district as well. The fields with ready paddy crops are completely marooned in Ghazipur and Chandauli districts. In Prayagraj, with water levels of Ganga and Yamuna having breached the danger mark by around 50 centimetres at Naini, Phaphamau and Chhatnag, more than 107 wards of the district stood flooded forcing more and more residents to take refuge at makeshift flood relief camps. Over 1747 families, comprising 7500 people, have already moved to 18 relief camps, which are getting crowded by the day. The administration has deployed over 168 boats and one motorboat to rescue and assist flood victims. While the Ganga breached the danger mark in Ballia and Ghazipur, the Yamuna is above the danger mark in several areas, including Auraiya, Jalaun, Hamirpur, and Banda. The Betwa River is also overflowing in Hamirpur. According to Relief Commissioner Bhanu Chandra Goswami, 40 tehsils and 694 villages in 17 districts were in the grip of floods impacting over 1.16 lakh peopleall of whom have received assistance and moved to relief camps. Over 25,000 people and 4,682 cattle have been relocated. However, 11,386 hectares of land lie flooded. Relief is being delivered via 738 active boats, with 4,867 kept on standby. So far, 9,467 food packets and 1.18 lakh lunch packets have been distributed, while 39 langars (community kitchens) continue to serve fresh meals to those hit by rains and flood fury, added Goswami. With senior officials holding ground in sensitive and hypersensitive districts, 14 NDRF teams, 15 SDRF teams, and 48 PAC teams have been deployed across 57 districts to aid affected populations. Goswami said that a total of 924 flood shelters were housing 18,772 displaced individuals, all being attended to by 778 medical teams. Additionally, 1,193 flood posts were monitoring the situation, and 25,586 people were relocated to safer areas. The most-affected districts include Kanpur Nagar, Lakhimpur Kheri, Agra, Auraiya, Chitrakoot, Ballia, Banda, Ghazipur, Mirzapur, Prayagraj, Varanasi, Chandauli, Jalaun, Kanpur Dehat, Hamirpur, Etawah, and Fatehpur. Relief operations are underway at a rapid pace, with NDRF, SDRF, and PAC teams conducting continuous patrolling in affected areas.

UP Anti-Terrorist Squad nabs two for plotting to incite communal discord
LUCKNOW: In a major crackdown, the Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS), on Monday evening, busted a gang comprising two individuals, allegedly engaged in hatching a conspiracy to incite communal disharmony and wage an ideological war against the state of India. As per the ATS sources, the arrests were part of a wider investigation into radical online networks linked to Pakistan. The UP ATS, initially detained Ajmal Ali, 19, from Amroha in western UP on August 2 for questioning. Based on Ajmals grilling, his mentor, Usama Maj Sheikh, 24, was picked up from Thane on August 3. The ATS arrested both Ajmal and Usama officially on Monday. The ATS sources claimed that sustained electronic surveillance and intelligence inputs led them to uncover a WhatsApp group named Reviving Islam with over 400 members, including three group administrators. The majority of the group members were reportedly based in Pakistan, while one mobile number linked to the group was traced to a UP resident. The ATS sleuths identified that the number belonged to Ajmal Ali, son of Asgar Khan, of Dehra village under Naugawan Sadat police station in Amroha district. Ajmal was found to be actively promoting radical ideology against non-Muslim communities and was involved in propagating anti-India content across multiple social media platforms, said the ATS sources. Ajmal was summoned to the ATS headquarters in Lucknow for questioning, during which he confessed that he was part of the Reviving Islam WhatsApp group. Ajmal also confessed to being in touch with several Pakistani nationals on other social media platforms. He revealed the identity of Thanes Usama Maj Sheikh, whom he considered his mentor. Usama was operating through an Instagram handle, said the ATS sources. ATS added that Usama, son of Maj Sheikh, residing near a Dargah in Badlapur village under Badlapur West police station in Thane district of Maharashtra, was allegedly in regular touch with Ajmal through Instagram and the encrypted messaging platform Signal. They used to exchange views on overthrowing the democratically elected government of India and replacing it with Sharia law through violent jihad, said an ATS source. Consequently, UP ATS registered an FIR arresting Ajmal and produced him before the court, which sent him to judicial custody. Following further leads, the ATS tracked down Usama Maj Sheikh, arresting him on August 4, 2025, from his residence in Badlapur in Thane, Maharashtra. He was interrogated further regarding his role in the ideological indoctrination and recruitment of radical youth for extremist objectives, said the ATS sources. As per the ATS sources, the preliminary inquiry revealed that the objective of both the persons was to incite communal hatred, provoke religious animosity, and prepare ground for a violent movement to establish Ghazwa-e-Hindan Islamist concept of religious conquestby spreading Sharia law through jihad. Both Ajmal and Usama were allegedly influencing Muslim youth against non-Muslims while pushing them to join anti-national activities aimed at destabilising the country, the ATS added.

Failed UP government focused on events, not flood relief: Akhilesh Yadav slams BJP
LUCKNOW: Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav on Monday criticised the BJP-led Uttar Pradesh government over the worsening flood situation, alleging that the corrupt and failed administration is more invested in event management than in public welfare. In a post on X, the former chief minister questioned why a government capable of organising super VVIP rallies was unable to conduct proper relief and rescue operations in flood-affected areas. As of Sunday, official data showed that floods had affected 402 villages across 37 tehsils, impacting 84,392 people. Seventeen districts, including Kanpur Nagar, Lakhimpur Kheri, Agra, Auraiya, Chitrakoot, Ballia, and Varanasi, were reported to be severely affected. There is a terrifying situation not just in Prayagraj but across the entire state due to floods, Yadav said. People are facing acute shortages of food and drinking water. Sanitation has collapsed, forcing many to live in inhuman conditions. He added that children, pregnant women, and the elderly are struggling to access healthcare due to disrupted medical services. People are scared of rats, poisonous insects, and the threat of electric shocks. Homes are collapsing, belongings have been washed away, and many are left without even a change of clothes, Yadav claimed. He alleged that the administration is missing from the ground while the government is usy with self-promotion and photo-ops. The SP leader also highlighted the loss of critical documents such as ID cards, ration cards, bank papers, and educational certificates, and said vehicles and livelihoods had been destroyed. Yadav expressed concern about the outbreak of water-borne diseases, disruption in childrens education, and the inability of families to conduct last rites due to submerged cremation grounds. In Varanasi, the Ganga river crossed the danger mark on Monday, flooding ghats and forcing authorities to shift cremations and other religious rituals to rooftops and elevated platforms. According to the Central Water Commission, the river was flowing at 72.1 metres, well above the danger level of 71.262 metres. Calling for a detailed response from the BJP government, Yadav said: The public is living in fear and uncertainty. The images of devastation lay bare the hollow claims of development and smart cities. People are angry. Relief will come only when the BJP goes.

1st-ever green hydrogen ferry all set for Varanasi voyage
KOCHI: The future fuel is here! The first-ever green hydrogen ferry in the country, built by the Cochin Shipyard Ltd, has received the Indian Register of Shipping (IRS) approval, paving the way for the deployment of the 50-passenger capacity vessel that boasts of zero pollution, in Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh. It has completed the six-month trial runs in Varanasi. The news is significant as the Kochi Water Metro, which currently uses electric-hybrid passenger ferries manufactured by the CSL, has ambitious plans to shift to the zero-emission green hydrogen fuel in future. The shift to green hydrogen vessels is now under active consideration and discussions are progressing with the Cochin Shipyard. While we decided against hydrogen ferries initially due to their huge operating cost and difficulty in sourcing, discussions have now been revived, with ANERT (Agency for New and Renewable Energy Research and Technology) extending a subsidy scheme as well, said a source with Kochi Metro Rail Ltd. When the green hydrogen proposal was first made two years ago, the cost of the future fuel, considered a potential replacement for fossil-based ones, was `960/kg. Industry sources said this has now more than halved. Reliance has commissioned a pilot hydrogen refuelling station (HRS) in Jamnagar. The cost of hydrogen comes to Rs 360/kg, a source said. Another positive development is the availability of hydrogen fuel in Kochi, as a green hydrogen plant and fuelling station, the first in south India, is coming up near Kochi airport at Nedumbassery. It is jointly developed by Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL) and Cochin International Airport Ltd (CIAL). While BPCL is entrusted with the building and operation of the 1,000-kW plant, CIAL contributes land, water and green energy resources. The plant will have a capacity to produce 80 kg of green hydrogen daily. Water, heat by-products With the indigenous vessel receiving IRS clearance, it is set to start operations in the Kashi-Prayagraj section. The ferry, utilising a hydrogen fuel cell powered battery system, runs on Low-Temperature Proton Exchange Membrane Technology (LT-PEM). By implementing the technology, the only by-products will be water and heat. The vessel can operate at a speed of 6.5 knots. Its operation is silent and, since there are no moving parts, maintenance requirement is low. The use of hydrogen as a fuel source eliminates greenhouse gas emissions, making the vessel a model for green and sustainable maritime transportation, a CSL official said. The vessel has five hydrogen cylinders carrying 40 kg of hydrogen, supporting eight hours of operation. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had flagged it off on February 28, 2024. The hydrogen boat has the same design as that of the water metro ferries. We lowered the battery capacity and installed a hydrogen fuel cell to generate electricity, the official added. CSL is also constructing two Sea Shuttle Feeder Container Vessels running on green hydrogen. In zero emission mode, each vessel is expected to achieve around 25,000 tons of CO2 reduction per year. 50-passenger capacity The 50-passenger capacity vessel is set to start operations in the Kashi-Prayagraj section Utilising a hydrogen fuel cell powered battery system, it runs on Low-Temperature Proton Exchange Membrane Technology (LT-PEM) The vessel has five hydrogen cylinders carrying 40 kg of hydrogen, supporting eight hours of operation
Half into monsoon, a third of districts face rainfall deficit
NEW DELHI: The Met offices claims of normal, above-normal, and even excess rainfall during the first half of this monsoon may look promising on paper, but it hardly reflects the ground reality. One-third of the countrys districts, including key agricultural states, are experiencing significant rainfall deficits, which may impact food production. As the monsoon reaches its midpoint, the country has received patchy, uneven rainfall thus far. Approximately one-third (about 31%) of districts have reported deficient rainfall, particularly in important agrarian states such as Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Assam, Bihar, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh. Overall, the country recorded 474.3 mm of rainfall in the first half of monsoon, 6.4% higher than the normal of 445.8 mm. However, rainfall distribution has been somewhat uneven. The states on the Himalayan foothills, stretching from Uttarakhand to the Northeast, have mostly remained dry. Data indicates that the eastern and northeastern states experienced approximately 23% deficient rainfall, while the southern peninsula faced suppressed monsoonal activity. State-wise analysis shows that UP reported deficient to significantly-deficient monsoon conditions across 34 districts, followed by Bihar (27), Assam (27), Tamil Nadu (22), Andhra Pradesh (15), Telangana (12), and Punjab and Haryana (10). Punjab, Haryana, and UP are particularly important in terms of food grain production. Currently, 24% of the 728 districts across the country have recorded deficient monsoon rainfall, defined as a reduction of 20% to 59% below the long-term average, while 7% districts are experiencing large-deficient rainfall, classified as a reduction of 60% to 99%. In July, while above-normal rainfall was observed, there has been a consistent decline in rainfall over the years. This July, India received 294.3 mm rainfall against a seasonal normal of 280.5 mm.

YouTube is testing Instagram-style collabs
YouTube has started testing a new collaboration feature, similar to Instagram's and TikTok's. A Google employee explained on YouTube Help that it will allow creators to add collaborators to a video so that they can be recommended to each other's audiences. The test is only available to a small group of creators for now, but it sounds like YouTube has plans to expand its availability in the future. Lindsey Gamble, an influencer marketing consultant and advisor, has posted a screenshot showing how the experimental feature works on Threads. As you can see in the image Gamble posted, adding collaborators would show their names next to the creators on their channel. If there are too many, at least on mobile, the collaborators would show as ...and more next to the creator's name. Tapping on it would bring up the list of people involved in the project, with the Subscribe button next to their name. On Instagram and TikTok, the creator who uploads the content will have to invite another account as a collaborator, who'll then have to approve the invitation. That'll most likely be the case here, as well, in order to ensure that creators don't randomly add other users to their videos. It's not clear, however, whether the collaborators can see details typically reserved for the uploader's eyes. As with any experimental YouTube and Google product, the company will be taking the testers' feedback into account before deciding if it'll give the feature a wide release. fff This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/entertainment/youtube/youtube-is-testing-instagram-style-collabs-153046187.html?src=rss

Instagram public accounts with less than 1,000 followers can no longer go live
Instagram is no longer allowing public accounts to go live if they have less than 1,000 followers. Users have been reporting over the past few days that their accounts aren't eligible for Live broadcast on the app anymore. We changed the requirements to use this feature, reads the notice that pops up when people try to host a livestream broadcast to their followers. Only public accounts with 1,000 followers or more will be able to create live videos. Now Meta has confirmed the new eligibility requirement to Engadget. The company told us that it started implementing the new rule in order to ensure that it's providing the best experience for creators that host Live broadcasts and that it's driving improvements in the feature's overall usage experience. It didn't clarify why Instagram won't be able to provide the best experience if users with below 1,000 followers can livestream, as well. Meta also told us that the new requirement applies not just to public, but also to private accounts. However, the change has only started rolling out to private accounts, which is likely why its notice states that only public accounts with 1,000 followers or more can go Live for now. That likely means Instagram is killing the ability to do livestreams for up to three close friends only, which was a feature the platform launched in 2024.

Little Soi: A gateway to the Orient in Kochi
Pan-Asian cuisine is not alien to the Kochi palate. From street stalls to fine dining, menus almost always feature a section devoted to it. In recent years, this love has sparked a rise in restaurants dedicated solely to Asian flavours. Among them is Little Soi, tucked into the heart of Panampilly Nagar. Recently, the restaurant unveiled a trial menu. We arrived early on a rainy Sunday evening to find the place unusually calm, almost empty. In Kochi, this often signals a struggling spot, but here it was a brief lull before the evening crowd. Within the hour, the space was buzzing with conversation. The interiors are well done and well-lit. The colours, while primarily dominated by red and black, too, feel fitting for the Pan-Asian vibe. Interiors of Little Soi, Panampilly Nagar In drinks, we started with Mystic Dragon, a dragon fruit and hibiscus tea refresher with mint and ginger juice, and 0% ABV Mojito, a zesty blend of mint, lime, and lemon juice. I thought the beverages leaned on the sweeter side. I hope more choices with distinctive flavours would be added to the menu for a wholesome experience. The refreshers available at Little Soi It was also this time that we registered that the music playing there was a curious choice. Pop hits, including repeats of Katy Perry tracks, gave the space, despite the oriental decor, the energy of a mall cafe rather than the atmosphere of a Southeast Asian street corner. However, any reservations we had vanished with the arrival of sushi, the highlight of the evening. We tried the Ebi Dynamite Roll, a prawn tempura uramaki topped with asparagus and cucumber pickle. This was one part of our starters. The other: pan-grilled minced chicken and leek gyoza dumplings. The much-talked-about dynamite sauce, introduced as a signature element, paired well not just with sushi but also with the fried chicken. The latter, too, we learned, had quickly become a hot favourite among guests. Ebi Dynamite Roll The starters had indeed set a high bar, so much so that when the Suan La Mixed mushroom soup arrived, we found it paled in comparison. But then came the more appealing Soi Polo Chicken Bangkok fried chicken topped with golden fried herbed garlic and served with spicy dipping sauce. These were very relishing and overshadowed the Sichuan chilli fish in both taste and presentation. Chicken Tsukune Still, the main courses were well-balanced both in seasoning and portion sizes. The notable mention among them was the Chicken Tsukune, fragrant hibachi fried rice topped with grilled minced chicken dumpling. Another popular choice, we learnt, is the Okinawa Ramen, a soba noodle ramen in mild dashi stock with optional ajitama egg and meat or tofu. Dessert provided a strong finish. The Vietnamese coffee cheesecake was rich and creamy, delivering a sweetness that balanced out the sharper notes of the meal. It is so supreme that it may even be worth it to make a trip to Little Soi for just that. While we didnt try any Matcha variants on the day, the fact that Little Soi imports their Matcha powder from Japan hints at quality. We promised to return for the Matcha Brownie. Vietnamese Coffee Cheesecake The team on the floor, including Lal Zam from Mizoram and Tonkay Bahadur Thapa from Darjeeling, kept the atmosphere friendly and approachable, ensuring that the bustle never tipped into chaos. In all, Little Soi offers Kochi diners an accessible take on Southeast Asian flavours. For those seeking a lively evening with varied Asian-inspired dishes, it is a spot worth trying. Remember: sushi, fried chicken, and desserts.
Netizens Applaud Dhawan, India Legends For Refusing To Play Pakistan In WCL
West Indies Champions: In one of the most defining moments of the World Championship of Legends 2025, Shikhar Dhawan and the India Legends made a statement that echoed far beyond the cricket field. Days before the highly anticipated semifinal clash between India and Pakistan, Dhawan, when asked whether he would play, responded with measured intensity: You shouldnt have asked this.

Citing the emotional aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack, Dhawan made it clear he would not step onto the field against Pakistan. And in an extraordinary show of solidarity, the rest of the India Legends squad led by captain Yuvraj Singh and comprising cricketing greats like Harbhajan Singh, Irfan Pathan, Suresh Raina, and Yusuf Pathan stood united in boycotting the match, choosing principle over participation.

Amid prayers and pleas, jailed Kerala nuns cling to hope as NIA Court reserves bail verdict
KOCHI: It has been a week since Sr Vandana Francis and Sr Preethy Mary of the Assisi Sisters of Mary Immaculate (ASMI) were jailed on charges of forced religious conversion and human trafficking . On Friday, their hopes of getting bail were crushed when prosecutors vehemently opposed their petition in the National Investigation Agency (NIA) court, to which the case was referred by a sessions court citing jurisdictional issues. This, even after Union Home Minister Amit Shahs assurance that the Chhattisgarh government would not oppose the plea. However, according to peoples representatives from Kerala, there is hope that the court would grant them bail when it issues its judgment on Saturday. Despite the legal uncertainty, the two remain calm and continue to hold on to the hope that a positive outcome will emerge soon, Angamaly MLA Roji M John said. He visited the nuns in jail on Friday, and, according to him, they appeared calm and collected. The nuns know they have not committed any crime and would be exonerated, he told TNIE. Roji pointed out that there are many loopholes in the case. When the nuns lawyer pointed out that no custodial interrogation papers had been filed, the prosecution couldnt rebut it. To date, police have not questioned them. This shows that they dont have anything to ask. All the charges have been fabricated. Hence, we have great hope that the nuns will get bail on Saturday, the MLA said. He accused the BJP of duplicity. They said that the state government wont be pursuing the case and that the prosecution wont oppose the bail plea. But that is not what happened in court on Friday. Joining ranks in prayer These have been difficult days for Sr Vandana and Sr Preethys fellow nuns of the ASMI order. But they are not alone, Sr Isbel Francis, superior general of the ASMI generalate of Green Gardens, Cherthala, told TNIE. Nuns all over the country and even outside have joined ranks. They are observing fast and praying for their fellow sisters, she said. Sr Isbel is presently at the convent in Narayanpur, Chhattisgarh, to extend her support to the jailed sisters. This is our mission convent, with the Assisi Shanti Health Centre, which was started in Narayanpur in 1976, being the focal point. The health centre was later developed into a hospital in 2015. It is the only healthcare facility providing medical and surgical care to the downtrodden and underprivileged in the area. The two sisters had worked at the hospital, she said. Sr Vandana worked as a pharmacist and was the superior at the hospital in Agra, while Sr Preethy is a qualified nurse. Sr Preethy did her nursing course and training with us in Cherthala. Since the day they donned the habit, they have been working tirelessly for the welfare of the poor, she said. This is the first time that the congregation has faced such a crisis, Sr Isbel said. I will be staying here till my sisters come home. I believe that they would get bail very soon, she added. As for the continuation of their work in Narayanpur and the fate of the hospital following the nightmarish incident, Sr Isbel said they will continue with their work and wont back out. If we close this hospital, the poor wont have anywhere to go for medical help, she added.
Breastfeeding in a digital age
Becoming a mother often comes with a side of chaos, not just diapers, midnight feeds, or lullabies, but something far less spoken, the sheer overload of advice. From well-meaning relatives to parenting influencers on Instagram, new mothers are constantly surrounded by voices telling them what to do, especially when it comes to breastfeeding. Instead of feeling relieved that they have people to guide them, often mothers are confused, and in most cases, overwhelmed because todays mothers are raising their babies in the era of Instagram, WhatsApp, and parenting influencers. In a world of overflowing information, whats truly missing is genuine support. When advice turns into noise For most mothers, the advice starts pouring even before the baby arrives. You must exclusively breastfeed. Dont give water till six months. Use this position. Avoid that food. There is a barrage of dos and donts. At present, there are also strangers online who have different versions of getting it right. The outcome is mothers begin to doubt themselves. Digital noise forces their instincts into the background. Instead of feeling like they are supported, they often feel judged. Thus, the mothers instincts are drowned by digital noise, rather than feeling confident and supported, they feel judged. It is important for mothers to have a break, to reassure that they are doing well, and its a step-wise process, after all. Unlearning myths is important since sometimes mothers tend to have already internalised these and accepted these as truths. Some of them are: The baby is crying because the mother must not have enough milk. If you give a bottle once, breastfeeding is ruined forever. Breastfeeding should come naturally. If its hard, youre doing it wrong. You need to eat only bland food while nursing. These myths come from different sources, the problem is not only that they are wrong, but they are delivered so confidently that mothers begin to believe that there is something wrong with their breastfeeding methods. They also feel ashamed for something that may not even be in their control. Worse, they may delay asking for help when its most needed. The emotional toll Social media plays a huge role in the emotional weight that the mothers carry, the perfectly portrayed pictures of mothers breastfeeding their infants under aesthetic lights do not show the cracked nipples, the tears, leaking breasts, soreness and hours figuring out a good latch. This comparison is crushing for new mothers in this digital era, since there is an enormous gap in expectations and reality. Breastfeeding is a skill not just an instinct Breastfeeding doesnt come naturally to everyone. It requires practice, patience, and support. Babies do not always latch easily; the supply does not always regulate smoothly. There are also real medical issues of hormonal imbalances, infections that can make the breastfeeding hard for mothers. In earlier times, women learned from watching their mothers, sisters, or aunts. Breastfeeding was a community experience. Today, many women enter motherhood without ever having seen it up close. The support systems that once existed, are now replaced by Instagram reels and Google searches, which does not address the real challenges for mothers. Some common breastfeeding challenges that mothers face are: Nipple pain/discomfort: This happens most often due to poor latch. Apply cold compresses, or nipple cream. Generally, correcting latch continues to work for the mother. It soothes down the pain. Golden milk, also known as turmeric milk, can help decrease inflammation around the breast and helps in recovering in a short duration. It is also a wholesome part of postpartum diet. Breast Engorgement: It is a situation when breasts are swollen and filled with milk. This can be resolved by frequently feeding breast milk, using warm compress before feeding, or express some milk prior. Low milk supply: This is often caused by frequent feeding or continuous skin to skin time. There are many options for galactagogues to improve feed supply. In case of poor breast milk production, mothers can include fenugreek, fennel seeds, sesame seeds, protein rich food and leafy greens, in their diet; these are meant to support lactation. Over supply: Block feeding method should be followed, expressing to relieve just enough breast milk to reduce pressure, and ensure to burp baby well. Baby refusing milk intake: Check if latch is correct, if baby is teething or not feeling well, or if there is an oversupply. In any of these cases, there is a possibility that the baby will refuse milk intake. Sometimes, just changing positions or holding baby skin to skin is all that is needed. Pumping breast milk: It is important for moms returning to work, and for moms who are having trouble with latch, to keep milk pumped. When pumping breast milk, it must be of good quality breast pump; it is necessary to pay attention to hygiene while pumping, and store milk according to the storage guidelines. Pumping breast milk can help with supply regulation and can help with a breast milk stash and or facilitate feeding flexibility. It is also important to understand when to seek expert help when the pain is persistent even after feeding, when the baby does not latch on consistently, or when even after consistent feeding the baby is not gaining weight. Support, not suggestions Its time we stop assuming that advice is equal to help. Because what most new mothers need is something far simpler compassionate and structured support. This means that access to trained lactation consultants can be life-changing (especially in the early weeks). Postnatal visits in hospitals should not be a matter of only weighing the infant. It should comprehensively look at feeding, physically and emotionally. Along with these, it is also crucial to help mothers know how to cradle their infant to correct feeding positions thats comfortable for the baby as well as the mother. Some ways a mother can cradle her baby are: Cradle hold: This gives the comfort and support to feed the baby, and having a pillow for additional support can help too. Football hold: This is helpful for C-section moms or twins. Side-lying Position: This position is deal for night feeding or to rest after delivery. Laid-back position: It helps naturally latching instincts in babies. In all cases, the mother must be mindful of how to align the babys head, neck, and body properly. While cradling, it is also important to understand which positions are good for the baby, and this can differ from each infant. Good signs of attachment include audible swallowing sounds, the infants chin touching the breast, the mouth being wide open with lips being flanged outward, and the babys cheeks being full and not sucked in. It is essential for partners, families, and workplaces to equally understand they have a role in building an easier environment in terms of breastfeeding because support is not just coming from a clinic when they are providing space, support, time off and/or just listening without judgement. Some mothers breastfeed for years, others stop after a few weeks, some combine methods and all of them deserve the same kindness and respect. In the age of viral tips and polished parenting reels, maybe what new mothers really need isnt one more piece of advice but someone who sits beside them, listens, understands.

Liquid Glass is a huge new change coming to iOS 26. (Apple) Waiting until the fall can feel like ages when you're ready to upgrade your iPhone to iOS 26 . But there's good news: you can test out all the features now by downloading and installing Apple's public beta , which CEO Tim Cook says is (with the other current beta operating systems) y far the most popular developer betas weve had, 9to5Mac reports . We also previewed the iOS 26 public beta release , which shows off the fresh home and lock screen redesign we've been asking to see for years. Called Liquid Glass , the new translucent look will extend across all of Apple's upcoming operating systems. The overhaul is one of several big changes coming to iOS, macOS , iPadOS and the rest of Apple's software suite, all of which were showcased during the company's WWDC keynote on June 9. After overpromising on AI plans last year, Apple kept its iOS roadmap focused more on basic quality of life improvements this year. There are multiple useful additions coming to the Phone and Messages apps on your iPhone, for instance: Apple execs outlined the ability to weed out spam texts or other unknown senders and an option to hold your spot on a phone call when you've been waiting for a representative to pick up. Plus, a treasured feature that we took for granted is coming back (hint: it's in the Photos app). Siri, meanwhile, is in a holding pattern. Apple has previously specified that its smarter voice assistant first promised at WWDC 2024 is delayed until some point in the coming year , so you shouldn't expect any major changes in the current betas. But there are reports that Apple is aiming to give Siri a bigger brain transplant by basing it on third-party artificial intelligence models like OpenAI's ChatGPT or Anthropic's Claude, which could make 2026 a pivotal year. With each beta, it seems like additional new improvements are popping up, like a newly discovered FaceTime feature that'll freeze your video if it detects nudity . Most newer iPhone models are eligible to download iOS 26 (both the betas and final version). Want to see the full list of new features coming this fall? Read on. What is iOS 26? The current iPhone operating system is iOS 18, and Apple is still actively updating it version 18.6 was just recently released. But don't expect to see iOS 19. Instead, Apple is skipping the numbering ahead to iOS 26 later this year. The company has decided to line up its iOS version numbers with a year-based system, similar to car model years. So while iOS and its sibling operating systems will be released in late 2025, they're all designated 26 to reflect the year ahead. (Meanwhile, iOS 18 is still getting new versions this summer , too.) It's official, we're moving to iOS 26. (Apple) What is Liquid Glass design? Let's be honest. Out of everything announced at WWDC this year, the new Liquid Glass design was the star of the show. The iPhone's home and lock screens have looked pretty much the same year after year the last exciting thing (in my opinion) was the option to add your own aesthetic to your home screen by customizing your apps and widgets. So seeing the home and lock screens' new facelift is refreshing. So what exactly is Liquid Glass? Apple calls it a new translucent material since, well, the apps and widgets are clear. However, the screen can still adapt to dark and light modes, depending on surroundings. You'll also notice buttons with a new floating design in several apps, like Phone and Maps. They're designed to be less distracting than the current buttons, but are still easy to see. While the design overhaul has proven to be controversial since its announcement, some including Engadget's own Devindra Hardawar like the new direction, even if it's somewhat reminiscent of Microsoft's translucent Windows Vista Aero designs from nearly twenty years ago. That said, as of the release of the iOS 26 beta 2, Apple has already incorporated some user feedback into the design, dialing back the transparency in at least some places. And while it will continue to evolve, Apple users won't be able to escape it: Liquid Glass was designed to make all of Apple's OSes more cohesive. Here's a look at how the translucent aesthetic will look with the new macOS Tahoe 26 on your desktop. What are the new and notable features of iOS 26? iOS 26 has a laundry list of new features. Among the most worthwhile: Phone app redesign: You'll finally be able to scroll through contacts, recent calls and voicemail messages all on one screen. It also comes with a new feature called Hold Assist that'll notify you when an agent comes to the phone so you can avoid the elevator music and continue on with other tasks. Live Translation in Phone, FaceTime and Messages: iOS 26 is bringing the ability to have a conversation via phone call or text message with someone who speaks another language. Live Translation will translate your conversation in real time, which results in some stop-and-go interactions in the examples Apple shared during its presentation. Polls in group chats: Tired of sorting through what seems like hundreds of messages in your group chat? You and your friends will soon be able to create polls in group messages for deciding things like which brunch spot you're eating at or whose car you're taking on a road trip. Filtering unknown senders in Messages: If you haven't received spam texts about unpaid tolls or other citations, you're lucky. For those of us who have, those annoying messages will soon be filtered away in a separate folder. Visual Intelligence: Similar to a reverse Google image search, this new feature will allow you to search for anything that's on your iPhone screen. For instance, if you spot a pair of shoes someone is wearing in an Instagram photo, you can screenshot it and use Visual Intelligence to find those shoes (or similar ones) online. Photos tabs are back: For anyone who's still frustrated with the Photos changes made last year , you'll be happy to know that your tabs are coming back. Library and Collections will have their own separate spaces so you don't have to scroll to infinity to find what you're looking for. FaceTime Communication Safety feature: A newer addition to iOS 26 appears to be the FaceTime Communication Safety feature that pauses communications if and when nudity is detected. The feature appears to be a child safety feature that uses on-device detection, thus obviating any cloud-based privacy issues. Apple's Hold Assist will be nifty for those pesky services that put you on hold for 10 or more minutes. (Apple) Which iPhones will be able to upgrade to iOS 26? A few iPhone models that run the current version of iOS iPhone XR, XS and XS Max won't be compatible with the latest upgrade. But any iPhones released in 2019 or later will be eligible for the iOS 26 update . iPhone SE (second generation or later) iPhone 11 iPhone 11 Pro iPhone 11 Pro Max iPhone 12 iPhone 12 mini iPhone 12 Pro iPhone 12 Pro Max iPhone 13 iPhone 13 mini iPhone 13 Pro iPhone 13 Pro Max iPhone 14 iPhone 14 Plus iPhone 14 Pro iPhone 14 Pro Max iPhone 15 iPhone 15 Plus iPhone 15 Pro iPhone 15 Pro Max iPhone 16e iPhone 16 iPhone 16 Plus iPhone 16 Pro iPhone 16 Pro Max Not listed here are the presumed new iPhone 17 models (or maybe iPhone 26?) that are all but certain to be announced and released in September. How to install iOS 26 beta The iOS 26 public beta is now available to download via the Apple Beta Software Program . If you're not already a member, you'll need to sign up to try out all the latest features. Just visit beta.apple.com and sign up with your phone number or email address. It's free. Once you're in, you can install it by going to Settings > General > Software Update and selecting iOS 26 public beta . A word of caution: Don't sign up with your main iPhone unless you're OK with any risks that occur with using an OS that isn't finalized. When will the final version of iOS 26 be released? iOS 26 will be released to the public this fall. It usually comes in September, within a week of the Apple iPhone event. Last year, it rolled out to iPhone users on September 16 exactly one week after the iPhone 16 lineup was announced. If you're more interested in the Apple Intelligence features coming, here's everything Apple revealed for iOS, macOS and more during WWDC. Also, check out how iOS 26 screenshots could be an intriguing preview of Apple's delayed Siri rework . Update, August 1: Added quote from Tim Cook about iOS 26. Update, July 31: Noted that iOS 18.6 is now available. Update, July 24: Noted the iOS 26 public beta is now available. Update, July 3: Noted new FaceTime feature found in the developer beta.

Former JD(S) MP Prajwal Revanna found guilty of sexually assaulting house help
BENGALURU: The special court on Friday convicted former Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna in one of the four sexual abuse and rape cases registered against him. He was found guilty in the first case for allegedly raping his former maid at his farmhouse and recording an obscene video of the act. Judge Santhosh Gajanan Bhat of the Special Court for the trial of criminal cases against present and former MPs/MLAs will pronounce the sentence on Saturday. Prajwal Revanna, the grandson of JD(S) supremo and former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda, appeared before the judge. He was seen looking upset after being pronounced guilty. He has been lodged at the Bengaluru Central Prison in Parappana Agrahara for the past 14 months. The trial in the case concluded on July 18, and the court reserved its verdict on July 30. Before pronouncing the verdict, the court sought clarifications from the lawyers on both sides, regarding Google Maps data and mobile phone records. The verdict was then adjourned to August 1. The case was based on a complaint filed by a 47-year-old domestic worker at the Holenarasipura Town Police Station in Hassan on April 28, 2024. She alleged rape and harassment by Prajwal Revanna. After the scandal broke, she was allegedly abducted at the behest of Prajwals parents, former minister and Holenasasipura MLA H.D. Revanna and Bhavani Revanna, to prevent her from testifying against their son. She was later rescued by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) from a farmhouse in K R Nagar in Mysuru. The SIT filed a 1,632-page chargesheet in the case in September 2024. Prajwal Revanna is the prime accused in four sexual abuse and rape cases that came to light a day after the Lok Sabha elections in Karnataka. Obscene video clips allegedly depicting the sexual abuse of multiple women surfaced on social media, and pen drives containing such videos were recovered in Hassan. Prajwal fled the country on April 27, 2024, shortly before the scandal erupted.
