'India New Power': 4 More European Nations Back Permanent Seat Bid, But China Hurdles Remains
Four European countries have backed Indias permanent UNSC membership. It sounds like a major breakthrough. It is an important diplomatic signal. But it is not the finish line. Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic have joined a growing list of countries calling for India to be at the top table of global security. The larger question is whether the existing powers will actually share power. China is the only P5 member that has not explicitly endorsed Indias candidacy. It also holds a veto over any UN Charter reform. India faces another challenge: whether a new permanent seat would come with the same veto rights as the old five. New Delhi says permanent membership without equal powers only creates a second tier. Watch this report for the V4 endorsement, the China problem, the veto battle and why Indias UNSC campaign is really about who writes the rules of the future.

Rent Your Face: Chinas New AI Side Hustle Pays, But Raises Identity Theft Fears, Deepfake Threats
Would you rent out your face to an AI company? In China, people are now licensing their likenesses for use in short dramas, advertisements, video games. Platforms such as ActID and New Claw verify users, catalogue faces by age and appearance, and connect them with content producers. Reported fees range from about 700 to nearly 14 lakh, although most projects pay far less. The boom is being driven by Chinas enormous AI microdrama market, where producers need characters at speed and scale. But this is not merely a new gig economy. A face is biometric identity. The real question is what happens after a person clicks consent. Can the face be altered, reused, resold or placed in a damaging context? China requires labels and metadata for AI-generated content. But rules do not automatically restore control after misuse. This report explains the cash, the contracts and the deepfake danger for India.

Kushagra, Kotian Help India A Recover To Finish Day 1 On 257/5 Against Australia A
Aman Mokhade LBW: Day 1 of the India A-Australia A Test was a tale of two halves as the hosts, after choosing to bat, endured a difficult start before Kumar Kushagra and Tanush Kotian produced a remarkable recovery to take them to 257/5 at stumps after 89 overs. India A fell to 20/2 in the morning session, were reeled in for 78/3 at lunch, and then were in all sorts of trouble at 97/5 in the afternoon. However, the partnership of Kushagra and Kotian completely changed the complexion of the innings with a superb stand of 138. Day one started as usual with Australia A's tight new-ball attack first to give India A a test. The first ball of the day by Fergus O'Neill was a true nip-backer which pulled in, taking Aman Mokhade LBW for 6. Todd Murphy then came into the attack to remove Devdutt Padikkal (3) for 20 runs on the board. Despite the early loss of wickets, Sai Sudharsan looked untroubled, punched the ball into gaps and ran them hard without taking undue risks. Sai Sudharsan and Shaik Rasheed added 58 runs for the second wicket to calm nerves. Rasheed fought hard for his 57-ball 16 before Australia A struck just before the Lunch break, Corey Rocchiccioli taking a stunning return catch. India A reached the break at 78/3, with Sudharsan unbeaten on 45. Australia A had been largely in control in the first session, with three wickets for 78 runs and the run rate still pretty subdued. The pressure continued post-lunch, with Rocchiccioli as the dominant factor. He first dismissed Yash Rathod for 1 before bagging the game-changing wicket of Sudharsan. Just before the rain, Sudharsan was looking to guide one over the line, but though he succeeded in deflecting the ball, he held onto the bat's face for too long and spooned it up, resulting in a leading edge. Rocchiccioli slid across to take the catch himself, leaving India A at 97/5. As the innings faltered, Kushagra and Kotian collected the pieces. The two pressed forward, defending the turning ball, looking for runs, and putting away the poor deliveries. At Tea, India A's resistance had taken the score to 151/5, Australia's lead still intact, but we were now running out of time to find the one spell which would target the tail. Rocchiccioli had three wickets to that point, while O'Neill and Murphy had one each. But it was the last session that was largely played by India A, as Kushagra and Kotian consolidated on their partnership and turned it into a match-winning one. The pair built India from 97/5 to 200 and even beyond with sensible batting and a few calculated shots. Later, Kushagra scored an outstanding 82 off 160 balls with 10 fours, while Kotian scored 68 off 134 balls with four fours and a six. Kushagra (82) departed with the score on 235/5. His departure did not halt the hosts' progress. Shams Mulani came in after Kotian and the duo ensured that India A saw through to stumps without any further casualties. India A score (89 overs): 257/5 Mulani and Kotian remain unbeaten at 10 and 68 respectively. A day of patience so far for the hosts. Shams Mulani came in after Kotian and the duo ensured that India A saw through to stumps without any further casualties.

China building new next-generation submarine as India's numbers stay constant
Fresh satellite imagery of Chinas Bohai Shipyard shows a submarine believed to be a possible Type 095 nuclear-powered attack submarine under construction.

The development has regional implications as Pakistan expands its submarine fleet with eight Chinese-designed Hangor-class AIP submarines, expected to raise its fleet to 11. India operates 16 conventional and three strategic submarines, but fleet expansion has been delayed. Programmes including P-75I, Project-76 and indigenous nuclear attack submarines are progressing, but deliveries remain years away.
