AI governance model inspired by Pope Leo XIV aims to put ethics first
Researchers at the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin (KUL) and the University of Eastern Finland have developed a new model of artificial intelligence governance inspired by the teachings of Pope Leo XIV as set out in his encyclical Magnifica Humanitas. The new model is intended to ensure that AI technologies are developed and used safely, fairly and with full respect for human rights.
Bumpy battery surfaces can masquerade as nanoscale ion pathways, misleading material design
A signal that appears to show ions moving inside a battery may, in fact, be an illusion caused by an uneven surface. A KAIST research team has identified the origin of this type of artifact, which can lead researchers to misinterpret what is happening inside a battery, and has developed a method to reduce it.
Copper has been knocked off the top of a stability ranking it had dominated for decades. Without altering the atoms directly bonded to the metal, a KAIST research team reversed the longstanding trend in which copper generally forms the most stable complexes by tuning only the weak hydrogen bonds in its surrounding environment. The findings, which appear in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, could open new avenues for selective metal separation and recognition, as well as catalyst design.

Jagadhatri completes 300 episodes; Sonakshi Batra and Farman Haider reflect on the show's journey
Zee TVs fiction show Jagadhatri has completed 300 episodes, marking a milestone for the series and its cast and crew. The show, led by Sonakshi Batra as Jagadhatri and Farman Haider as Shivaay, has continued its run with a mix of drama, action, romance and emotional conflicts. The current storyline has taken a dramatic turn following the death of Rudra, played by Ayushh Shrivastava. His death has left Jagadhatri facing accusations, while the narrative moves towards secrets and revelations that are expected to further impact the characters. As the show reaches the 300-episode mark, Sonakshi Batra reflected on her experience of playing the titular character and the response to the series. She said, I have always said that Jagadhatri is a very special show for me. It is a very different show and Jagadhatri is a very different character from anything I have done before. In many ways, this character gives me strength even in real life. The way Jagadhatri is strong, smart, fearless and hardworking, she inspires me every single day. This show has given me so much, new lessons, beautiful learnings, the love of the audience and, of course, so many memorable experiences. Completing 300 episodes is a very big milestone for me and the entire team. When we started this journey, I had never imagined that we would receive this much love. Today, seeing so many fan pages and people talking about Jagadhatri, her action sequences, her fights and her journey makes me incredibly happy. I love that the show gives me the opportunity to explore so many shades, action, romance, drama and emotions and play such a layered character. I am truly grateful for everything Jagadhatri has given me. As we celebrate 300 episodes, I only want to say that I will continue to work harder and give my best to the show. I hope we continue to receive the same love and blessings from our audience and keep celebrating many more such milestones together. Happy 300 to us! Farman Haider, meanwhile, spoke about playing Shivaay and the experience of being part of the show. He said, I absolutely love working on Jagadhatri because it is such a unique show. It has drama, action, romance, emotions, fun and so many unexpected turns, and that makes it exciting for both the audience and us as actors. Playing Shivaay has been a wonderful experience because the character has so many layers, and as an actor, getting the opportunity to explore different shades within one character is something very special. Completing 300 episodes is a huge milestone for all of us, and it makes me extremely happy and proud. This journey has been possible because of the hard work of everyone, both on screen and behind the scenes. Our entire team has worked tirelessly to make the show bigger and better with every episode, and seeing the audience shower us with so much love and blessings makes all the effort worth it. I am truly grateful to everyone who has supported Jagadhatri and Shivaay and made them a part of their lives. I am super excited about this milestone, and I am sure this is just the beginning. We will continue to work harder, entertain our audience and hopefully celebrate many more milestones together. As Shivaay, I promise to keep giving my best and keep entertaining our fans with everything we have. Happy 300 to us! With the story continuing to build around Jagadhatri and the aftermath of Rudras death, the show is set to move into its next phase. Jagadhatri airs every day at 10:30 p.m. on Zee TV.

Japans F-2A Fighters In India: How F-16 Cousin Gives IAF a Rare Edge Against Pak I Veer Guardian
Japan is bringing three F-2A fighters to India for Veer Guardian 2026. The aircraft is based on the F-16 design, but Japan rebuilt it for its own air and maritime missions. That makes the Jodhpur exercise important for the Indian Air Force. India does not operate the F-2, and the aircraft is not identical to Pakistans F-16s. But it gives Indian pilots a valuable F-16-class reference point. They can study flight behaviour, radar use, electronic warfare, beyond-visual-range tactics and close combat decisions. The exercise is also a two-way exchange. Japan gets exposure to Indias Su-30MKI, a heavy fighter relevant to the threats Tokyo faces from China. This report explains what the exercise can reveal, what it cannot, and why stronger India-Japan air cooperation matters. Can training against Japans F-2 sharpen Indias response before the next crisis? Watch the full India-focused analysis from Jodhpur. It is preparation, not instant battlefield superiority.

Bigg Boss 20: Mahhi Vij didnt leave her previous show for BB 20, decided to quit in January
Mumbai, Sep 7 (IANS) Popular television actress Mahhi Vij, who has entered Bigg Boss 20, has clarified that her exit from her previous show Seher Hone Ko Hai was not linked to her participation in the Salman Khan-hosted reality show, saying she had decided to quit in January itself. I had quit the show long back, and this show came to me just 20 days back. So, it's not related at all. That exit wasn't sudden. I wanted to quit the show in January, but it was taking time, and I'm sure the creatives were not ready to leave me, Mahhi told IANS. She added: And I was also not mentally prepared to leave the show because it's very close to my heart. But yes, I didn't leave the show for Bigg Boss. Upon joining the show, Mahhi said one should always try something new. Bigg Boss has been in each and everybody's (list)... You can say it's been the most-awaited show of the year, so I wanted to be part of it. I actually didn't want to be part of it. I love to watch it, but I don't know what made me take this decision to be part of it. And I'm really excited. Mahhi said that the rumours of her joining had been coming every year, but this time, she thought the time was right. And there's always the right time to do things. I mean, there's a time for everything. I think that time has come, he said. Describing herself and what to expect in the show, she said: Mahhi, as a person, I am very kind-hearted. I'm very short-tempered also, at the same time. I'm very loving. I'm a friend of friends, but also an enemy of enemies. I don't like to rub people the wrong way, and I don't want the same for myself. The rest, I don't know what will happen inside. Maybe a different Mahi will be seen. Talking about Bigg Boss being a platform for reviving careers, the former wife of Jay Bhanushali said: So, nothing can revive your acting career? I could have done something else to revive my career, but yes, definitely, it also plays an important part in our lives. It changes, and it has changed a lot of people. People we didn't know about earlier, we know about today. It really changes everyone's identity for good, she said.

He said, I have played many small roles. I must have played 20-25 roles. But no one knows about half of those films. There were many C-grade films that were made at that time. I used to work in them too. Once we needed the money. So we told a casting director that we don't have money. He said, There is a shooting in Film City for an ad. So go there. My friend and I came here from 4 bungalows on foot. He further mentioned, The shooting of the ad was going on, and there was a need for a lot of artistes on the bus. There were junior artistes too. So the assistant made us sit there. He asked us to sit there and do some business. He asked, What will you do?. I said, I will sleep and read this newspaper. So that no one can see my face. Otherwise people will say, what is he doing, he is from NSD and doing such small parts. So anyway, the shooting got over. We got 2500 rupees. Then artistes coordinator walked in from behind. He asked, Who are you?. I said, We are junior artistes. He said, Show me the union card. We didn't have the card. He said, You will have to give half of the money now. So I gave him 2000 rupees. We had 2000 rupees left. So we left Film City and went to Santosh Nagar. We sat there and ate a lot because we hadn't eaten like this for a long time. So when we ate, we found out that we had only 200 rupees left. We sat in the auto and when we went back home, we didn't have any money, he added.

The goal is to avoid giving fear complete authority over important choices.

Afghanistan Foreign Minister, UNHCR representative discuss Afghan refugees' return
Kabul, Sep 6 (IANS) Afghanistan's Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi held a meeting with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) representative in Afghanistan, Arafat Jamal, discussing the return of Afghan refugees and measures taken to provide them support and assistance after they arrive in the Islamic nation, local media reported on Sunday. During the meeting, Muttaqi and Jamal discussed strengthening cooperation and coordination between the Taliban-led government and the UNHCR to improve conditions for Afghan returnees, according to the statement released by Afghanistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Afghanistan-based Ariana News reported. Both sides also discussed the need to coordinate the efforts of relevant countries and international organisations involved in or interested in supporting the return and reintegration of Afghan refugees. The meeting between Afghanistan's Foreign Minister and UNHCR representative comes at a time when international agencies have been reporting a rise in the deportation of Afghan refugees from neighbouring nations while emphasising the need for their dignified and safe return. Earlier in the day, Taliban Deputy Spokesman Hamdullah Fitrat shared a daily operational report from the High Commission for Addressing Returnees' Issues, where he mentioned that 201 Afghan families, comprising 1,002 individuals, returned from Pakistan and Iran on Saturday. In a report shared on social media platform X, Fitrat detailed that 105 families, comprising 571 people, returned to Afghanistan through the Torkham crossing. As many as five families, comprising 30 individuals, returned to Afghanistan through the Spin Boldak crossing and a total of 81 families, comprising 353 individuals, returned to the country through the Silk Bridge crossing in Nimroz province. According to the report, 10 families, comprising 48 individuals, returned to Afghanistan through the Islam Qala crossing. The report said that 121 families, comprising 692 individuals, were relocated to various provinces of Afghanistan. In the report, Fitrat said that assistance was provided to 132 families while 114 families were given SIM cards. On June 20, Amnesty International urged the international community to stop unlawful expulsion of Afghan refugees and called for protecting their needs as per international human rights law. Afghan refugees face arbitrary arrests and family separations in host nations and face human rights violations when they return to Afghanistan, the rights group said. Millions of Afghan refugees are being expelled across the globe, and that number keeps climbing day by day. In host countries, they are facing arbitrary arrests and family separations; upon return, they are facing human rights violations amidst one of the most severe humanitarian crisis in the world, Amnesty International said in a post on X. The unlawful expulsions of Afghan people must stop, and people with international protection needs must be safeguarded as per international human rights law, it added.
