Iran US Israel War Live Updates: US Forces Shoot Down Two Iranian Attack Drones in Strait of Hormuz

Iran US Israel War Live: The Middle East conflict continues to evolve despite renewed diplomatic efforts.US-Backed Ceasefire Faces Immediate Test: A newly announced US-brokered ceasefire between Lebanese and Israeli officials is already under pressure as Israeli strikes continue across Lebanon. The agreement, reached during talks in Washington, has so far failed to halt military operations on the ground.Hezbollah Rejects Truce Agreement: Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem has dismissed the ceasefire as a "farce", warning that northern Israel will remain a target as long as Israeli attacks on Lebanon continue.Lebanon Casualties Continue To Climb: According to Lebanon's Health Ministry, at least 3,526 people have been killed and 10,733 injured since Israeli operations intensified on March 2. The figures underscore the mounting humanitarian toll despite repeated international calls for de-escalation.Iran Links Lebanon To Wider US Talks: Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has stated that any broader understanding between Tehran and Washington must also include an end to the fighting in Lebanon. Iranian officials insist there can be "no peace in the region" without an Israeli withdrawal from Lebanese territory.Trump Defends Iran Strategy: US President Donald Trump criticised lawmakers who supported a resolution seeking to limit his authority to wage war against Iran, describing the move as "unpatriotic". He maintained that the conflict would ultimately be resolved "militarily or on paper".Trump Claims Iran’s Military Has Been Crippled: Speaking to reporters, Trump argued that Iran’s military capabilities had been severely degraded, claiming the country no longer possessed an effective navy or air force and asserting that much of its senior leadership structure had been destroyed.US-Iran Confrontation Continues To Shape Region: The broader regional crisis continues to be driven by the confrontation between Washington and Tehran following the large-scale US-Israeli operation launched against Iran earlier this year. The campaign and Iran’s subsequent retaliation against Israel and US-linked targets across the Gulf have significantly expanded the scope of the conflict.Regional Security Concerns Remain High: Iran’s missile and drone attacks targeting Israel and US partners have reinforced fears that the conflict could widen further, drawing additional countries into an already volatile security environment.Humanitarian Crisis Deepens: Continued bombardment and military operations are placing immense strain on civilian populations across Lebanon, with aid agencies warning that the humanitarian situation continues to deteriorate despite ongoing diplomatic efforts.Diplomacy Struggles To Keep Pace With Events: While negotiations between Washington, Tehran and regional actors continue behind closed doors, developments on the battlefield suggest that achieving a durable ceasefire remains a significant challenge.Middle East Remains At A Critical Juncture: With the Lebanon front still active, US-Iran tensions unresolved and regional alliances under strain, the crisis remains one of the world's most closely watched geopolitical flashpoints, carrying major implications for international security and global energy markets., Middle East News, Times Now

Hundreds don cockroach masks as mock party stages protest in India

Hundreds of supporters of the Cockroach Janata Party, an online joke that drew millions across India, gathered for the first time in New Delhi on Saturday (6 June), taking the social media movement off screens and into its biggest real-world test yet. The protest at Jantar Mantar in India’s capital marks the movement’s first foray into street politics after weeks of dominating social media feeds and news headlines, attracting millions of online followers and widespread support among young Indians. Many gathered in the heart of New Delhi’s Jantar Mantra, some with placards and cockroach masks. The party’s founder Abhijeet Dipke, 30, arrived in New Delhi on Saturday to lead the protest against Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government.

Middle East conflict pushing millions into hunger, WFP says

By Olivia Le PoidevinGENEVA, June 5 (Reuters) - The Middle East conflict is pushing millions of people closer to hunger, as rising fuel and transport costs drive up food prices while funding shortfalls force aid agencies to scale back assistance, the U.N. World Food Programme said on Friday.Joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran in February triggered a regional conflict stretching across the Gulf and into Lebanon, disrupting key shipping routes, including the Strait of Hormuz, forcing vessels to reroute and sharply constraining global energy flows and supply chains.

Can artificial intelligence endanger the principles of ethical journalism?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the world of news and journalism. However, the question is whether this change represents a revolution or the beginning of a crisis. In Pakistan, one of the prominent voices on this issue, senior journalist Amar Guriro, who heads the country's first AI-based news media platform, believes that the future of journalism will not be in the hands of machines alone. Instead, he says it will be shaped by the shared control and collaboration of humans and machines.

Xeno-monitoring the impact of Vector Control on trypanosome transmission in the Forecariah sleeping sickness focus (Guinea)

Author summary In January 2025, the World Health Organization validated the elimination of gambiense human African trypanosomiasis (gHAT) as a public health problem in Guinea. This goal was achieved through a combination of medical and entomological activities over one decade. This strategy was successively implemented in the three gHAT active foci, first in Boffa in 2012, then in Dubreka in 2016 and in Forecariah in 2018. Here, we present the evaluation results of the first three years (2018–2021) of vector control (VC) in the Forecariah focus. VC consisted in the annual deployment of over 5,000 blue insecticide-impregnated tiny targets, mainly in mangrove areas, which are at high risk of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense transmission through tsetse fly bites. Only 18 months after the initial deployment, the apparent density of tsetse flies (ADT) had decreased by 92%. This ADT drop was associated with a significant reduction of the trypanosome infection rates (from 11.5% to 1.2%) in tsetse midguts over the three years of VC. Prior to VC implementation, at least one infected fly was found in 18 of the 31 sentinel traps, whereas only two were positive after three years of monitoring. A pan-trypanosome PCR, used as a molecular xenomonitoring tool, revealed the predominant presence of T. brucei sl., while T. vivax and T. congolense were detected in few tsetse midguts. During this period, HAT prevalence decreased by 76%, highlighting the effectiveness of this combined strategy.

Development of a deep learning based framework for classification of Indian venomous snakes integrated with explainable artificial intelligence for primary and emergency care providers

Author summary Snakebite is a major public health concern that disproportionally affects the rural population. Delays in identifying whether a snake is venomous often lead to delayed treatment, unnecessary use of antivenom, or inappropriate referrals. In many rural settings, access to expert snake identification is limited. To address this gap, authors have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) based image classification system that distinguishes snakes into two clinically relevant categories: venomous or non-venomous. Unlike many previous studies that focused on ideal, high-quality wildlife images, our model was trained using real-world photographs captured in emergency situations, including images taken by patients and field responders under variable lighting and background conditions. This approach improves the model’s relevance to practical healthcare settings. The system achieved high accuracy and was further strengthened by visual interpretability tools and expert verification to ensure reliability. By combining AI-assisted classification with human oversight, this work provides a scalable decision-support tool that may improve early triage, rational antivenom use, and surveillance in snakebite-endemic regions

Maruti Suzuki Flex Fuel Car Launch Live: India's First E100 Car - Price, Mileage, Engine And More

Maruti Suzuki Flex Fuel Car Launch Live: Maruti Suzuki is set to take a major step in India's alternative-fuel journey with the unveiling of the country's first mass-market E100-compatible flex-fuel passenger vehicle today. The unveil, scheduled ahead of World Environment Day, will showcase a production-ready model capable of running on petrol as well as ethanol blends up to E100. The event at Taj Palace, New Delhi, will be attended by Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari and Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas Hardeep Singh Puri, both of whom have been strong advocates of ethanol-based mobility in India.Maruti Fronx Or Wagon R?While Maruti Suzuki has not officially revealed the model name, industry reports suggest the vehicle could be based on either the Wagon R Flex Fuel prototype previously showcased in India or the Fronx Flex Fuel concept displayed globally. Both vehicles have already demonstrated compatibility with high-ethanol fuel blends, making them strong contenders for today's unveiling.DesignFrom a design standpoint, major styling changes are not expected. Instead, the focus is likely to remain on the flex-fuel technology itself, with subtle exterior graphics or badging differentiating the model from its conventional petrol counterpart. Inside, buyers can expect the familiar Maruti Suzuki cabin layout along with features already offered on the donor vehicle, including a touchscreen infotainment system, smartphone connectivity, automatic climate control and multiple safety features depending on the variant.Flex Fuel EngineThe biggest talking point will be the powertrain. The flex-fuel engine is expected to operate on fuel blends ranging from standard petrol to 100 per cent ethanol, supporting the government's push to reduce crude oil imports and increase ethanol adoption. While ethanol fuel is generally cheaper than petrol, vehicles running on higher ethanol blends typically record lower fuel efficiency than equivalent petrol-powered versions.PricePricing remains under wraps, but industry estimates suggest a modest premium over the standard petrol model due to additional fuel-system modifications required for E100 compatibility.

In this episode of World of Trouble, The Independent’s new expert-led discussion series, our panel unpacks the fast-changing global security landscape in a discussion entitled Shifting Alliances. They delve into the strategic importance of Russia’s actions in Ukraine, Nato’s future, and whether Europe has the strength and resolve to face the Russian challenge. During the panel, former MI6 chief Sir Alex warned Britain must rearm and rebuild its reserves – potentially through national service – to face the growing threat from Russia and the destabilising influence of leaders like Putin and Trump. Alongside Dr Ellehuus, he highlighted how Trump’s shift in US strategic priorities has shaken European security, emboldened Putin, and increased unconventional Russian attacks across Europe.

US-Iran War Live: Iran says US talks still alive, rules out any deal that ignores Lebanon

US-Israel-Iran War Live Updates: Gulf tensions escalated sharply on Wednesday as Iran launched missile and drone attacks on Kuwait, damaging facilities at Kuwait International Airport, killing one person and injuring more than 60 others, while the United States carried out military strikes near the Strait of Hormuz. The latest violence has put further strain on a fragile ceasefire reached earlier this year and raised fresh concerns about the stability of one of the world's most important energy corridors. Bahrain said it intercepted several missiles and drones after Iran claimed to have targeted US military assets in the region. The US military reported that some Iranian missiles failed to reach their targets and said it had struck positions near Hormuz after attempted attacks on American forces and commercial shipping. Oil prices climbed more than 2% as uncertainty grew over the future of the strait, which previously handled about 20% of global oil and liquefied natural gas shipments. Diplomatic efforts to end the conflict remain stalled despite repeated claims by US President Donald Trump that a deal is close. Iran continues to seek sanctions relief, access to oil revenues and guarantees over regional issues, while Washington insists Tehran must abandon any path to nuclear weapons. The conflict has also spilled deeper into Lebanon, where Israeli drone strikes killed several people and targeted areas near southern region. With Iran, the US, Israel and Hezbollah still locked in confrontation, fears are growing that renewed fighting could further disrupt global energy supplies, increase pressure on oil markets and complicate already fragile negotiations aimed at ending months of war across the Middle East.
