India Invited to Join New International Board of Peace on Gaza
India Invited to Join New International Board of Peace on Gaza
Politics
What’s Happening?
The United States has invited India to join a new international initiative called the “Board of Peace” that has been proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump as part of efforts to help bring stability to Gaza and other conflict-affected areas. The invitation was confirmed by the U.S. ambassador to India, and letters seeking participation have reportedly gone out to around 60 countries that might take part in the initiative.
The proposed Board of Peace is being presented as a way to help oversee post-war governance, peacebuilding and reconstruction efforts in Gaza following a ceasefire agreement. A draft charter seen by international news agencies suggests that countries might join for a fixed term, and that longer membership could involve financial contributions, while the board itself would initially focus on Gaza before potentially expanding to address other conflicts.
Why is it Important?
This development matters because it touches on how the world tries to respond to major conflicts and what roles different nations might play in peacebuilding. India has traditionally supported efforts toward a peaceful resolution of conflicts and is seen as an important global player with strong diplomatic ties around the world. An invitation to join this board indicates international interest in India’s possible contribution to peace efforts, even though formal membership and roles have not yet been decided.
At the same time, the Board of Peace initiative has generated a range of reactions globally, with some world leaders and diplomats raising questions about its relationship to existing international organizations, such as the United Nations, which already play central roles in peacekeeping and post-conflict governance.

EU Council Approves Plan for Giant AI Computing Hubs Across Europe
EU Council Approves Plan for Giant AI Computing Hubs Across Europe
Tech
What’s Happening?
The European Union has taken a big step toward building AI “gigafactories”, powerful new facilities that will house massive computing systems designed to help develop and train advanced artificial intelligence. European Council adopted an amendment to the rulebook governing Europe’s High-Performance Computing Joint Undertaking to officially allow these AI gigafactories to be created across the EU.
Gigafactories are huge data-driven hubs with world-class computing power that will support research, industry and innovation using giant AI models. This new framework also sets up rules for funding, partnerships and how public and private groups can work together on these projects. The plan aims to make Europe a stronger player in AI technology and quantum computing, and to help European startups and industries access super-fast computing resources.
Why is it Important?
This matters because AI is now shaping everything from self-driving cars and medical discoveries to climate forecasting and space science, but training the most advanced AI systems requires huge computing power that most companies and research labs can’t afford on their own. The EU hopes to level the playing field so that European scientists, businesses and startups can compete with AI development happening in countries like the United States and China.
This plan is exciting because it points to a future where AI breakthroughs could come from many places, not just Silicon Valley or Beijing. With AI gigafactories, European innovators may discover new ways to use AI to solve problems. It also highlights how science and technology can be a team effort across countries, with shared goals to grow knowledge, create jobs and stay at the cutting edge of global tech.

Space Junk Woes: How the World Plans to Clean Up Earth’s Orbit by 2030
Space Junk Woes: How the World Plans to Clean Up Earth’s Orbit by 2030
Science
What’s Happening?
There are now thousands of dead satellites and pieces of space junk orbiting Earth, and experts say this floating debris is becoming a growing risk for active satellites, space missions, and even the International Space Station (ISS). Most of these objects are old satellites that have stopped working, spent rocket stages, or fragments from past collisions.
To tackle this problem, space agencies, governments, and private companies around the world are planning ways to clean up Earth’s orbit by 2030. Ideas include using special spacecraft to capture or drag old satellites down to burn up in the atmosphere, nets and harpoons to grab big chunks, and lasers to gently nudge small debris into safer paths. Several missions have already been tested to show these technologies can work, though cleaning up space will take teamwork, new rules, and more testing before it becomes routine.
Why is it Important?
Earth’s orbit is getting crowded fast. Satellites help with so much from GPS and weather forecasting to internet and TV broadcasting but an accident in space could create even more debris, making it harder for spacecraft to navigate safely. Scientists compare this risk to a highway full of speeding cars and broken vehicles left in the middle of the road: without cleanup, collisions are more likely.
Just like we have to manage pollution on Earth, we need to think about the long-term health of space. By clearing out old satellites and debris, future missions can travel safely, and there will be room for new satellites that connect the world. The effort to clean orbit by 2030 also highlights how countries and companies must work together on big problems.

Archaeologists Uncover Massive Underground Medieval Vault in Germany
Archaeologists Uncover Massive Underground Medieval Vault in Germany
History
What’s Happening?
Archaeologists in Lichtenau, Germany, have stumbled upon a huge hidden medieval underground chamber buried beneath the town’s cobblestone streets near the old Castle Lichtenau. The mysterious space measures more than a thousand square feet and was unexpectedly revealed during routine excavation work near the historic center of this 14th-century market town.
The chamber’s discovery is exciting because it survived hundreds of years without being found, even though people have lived and walked above it for generations. Archaeologists are exploring several theories: it might have served as a storage cellar for food, wine and provisions, a workshop for craftspeople working with delicate materials, or even a refuge or shelter during the violent regional feuds that sometimes rocked medieval Germany.
Why is it Important?
This discovery matters because it lets us peek below the surface of history literally. The Middle Ages aren’t just stories in books; they’re places hidden right beneath towns we walk through today. Finding a large chamber like this shows that there’s still so much we don’t know about how medieval communities were built, what they stored, and how they lived, worked, and protected themselves.
Every stone, tunnel, or tool found inside has a story to tell about people who lived 700 years ago what they ate, what they built, and how they used space underground. It also highlights how cities today are built on layers of the past, and how discoveries can happen when least expected.
