India and Israel Deepen Defence, Trade and Technology Ties During Modi Visit
India and Israel Deepen Defence, Trade and Technology Ties During Modi Visit
Politics
What’s Happening?
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is on a two-day state visit to Israel, his second trip to the country since 2017. During this visit, he became the first Indian PM to speak in Israel’s Parliament (the Knesset), a rare and special moment in world diplomacy. PM Modi was warmly welcomed by Israeli leaders, and both countries’ leaders including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the relationship as strong and friendly.
The two sides are holding important discussions about defence cooperation, trade, technology, innovation, and regional peace. In his speech to the Knesset, PM Modi highlighted shared values, friendship, and the hope for peace and stability in the Middle East, and he spoke about teamwork in areas like science and technology.
Why is it Important?
This visit matters because diplomacy helps countries work together on big issues instead of standing alone. India and Israel already cooperate on many things like defence equipment, technology projects, farming solutions, and innovation and now they want to go even further.
Also, India and Israel have been discussing greater economic cooperation meaning trade, business partnerships and global tech links which could create new opportunities for workers, companies, and students in both places.
Finally, the visit is a chance to show the world how two democracies with different histories and cultures can build a long-lasting partnership that’s not just about politics, but also about science, peace, and shared goals.

Sports
What’s Happening?
In the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, two unbeaten teams, West Indies and South Africa are playing a high-stakes Super Eight match in Ahmedabad today. This game is super important because both sides want to secure a place in the semifinals of the tournament. The match is being played at the Narendra Modi Stadium, and the weather looks clear and sunny, so play is expected to go on without rain delays.
The pitch there usually helps batters score runs early, but later on spinners might get a chance to shine too. Captains from both teams will toss the coin before the match starts to decide who bats or bowls first. West Indies is known for its explosive batting style, scoring big totals quickly, while South Africa is playing with steady, balanced teamwork in both batting and bowling.
Why is it Important?
This match matters because it could change who makes it to the T20 World Cup semifinals. In this Super Eight stage, teams earn points not just by winning but also by keeping a good net run rate, a measure of how quickly they score compared to how quickly they let others score. A big win here could push one team ahead of the others in Group 1 and make their spot in the semifinals much more likely.
West Indies and South Africa also have a long competitive history in cricket, with many close matches over the years. Neither team wants to slip up now, especially given how strong they’ve been so far in this tournament. Younger fans and future cricketers often watch matches like these because they show how strategy, skill, and teamwork come together when the pressure is high.

EU Limits Chinese Organisations in Big Tech Programmes
EU Limits Chinese Organisations in Big Tech Programmes
Tech
What’s Happening?
The European Union (EU) has announced that some Chinese organisations will no longer be allowed to take part in Europe’s biggest collaborative science and technology programmes, especially in super-important areas like artificial intelligence (AI) and computer chips. These programmes include Horizon Europe, a multi-year initiative with about €93 billion (around US$110 billion) for research and innovation.
The decision reflects worries about research security and how technology might be used in the future. Some experts say this might not slow down China a lot because partnerships were already limited in these fields, but it definitely changes how Europe and China work together on cutting-edge science.
Why is it Important?
This matters because AI and computer chips are the building blocks of lots of modern tech and powerful computers. Countries want to be leaders in these areas, and tech teamwork across borders can speed up innovation. But when governments are worried about security, spying, or unfair advantages, they sometimes put limits on who can participate.
The EU’s choice affects researchers, tech companies, and students who might have worked together on shared projects. It also reflects a bigger trend: many countries (like the U.S. and others) are taking new steps to control how advanced technology is shared or developed internationally. This could shape how future technology is invented and who gets to benefit from it.

Artemis II Mission Paused as NASA Fixes Rocket Issues
Artemis II Mission Paused as NASA Fixes Rocket Issues
Science
What’s Happening?
NASA has begun rolling its Artemis II moon rocket, the big Space Launch System (SLS) carrying the Orion spacecraft off its launch pad and back into a giant hangar at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida so engineers can carefully check and fix a technical problem with the rocket’s helium system.
A helium system helps pressurize fuel tanks and make sure the rocket engine systems work right so it’s important to get it fixed correctly before a launch. This means the rocket will travel slowly, taking several hours to return to the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB), where technicians can reach the part that needs attention. Because of this rollback and repair work, NASA won’t be able to launch Artemis II in March as planned. Instead, the mission is now expected to be delayed until April 1 or later, giving teams time to fix the issue and prepare for a safe flight.
Why is it Important?
This matters because Artemis II is a big step in returning humans to deep space. It’s planned to be the first crewed mission around the Moon in over 50 years and will help scientists and engineers learn what works well and what needs improvement before future Moon landings.
Rolling the rocket back for repairs shows how careful NASA is about safety and reliability, astronauts and teams want to make sure everything is in top condition before liftoff. A small technical problem might feel disappointing, but fixing it now means a better chance of success later. By checking and rechecking systems, NASA is making sure that when humans do travel around the Moon again, it’s done as safely as possible.
