India sends ‘lightest satellite’ to space – BBC News

Published

on



India has launched what it says is the world’s lightest satellite ever to be put into orbit.

Weighing only 1.26kg (2.6lb), the Kalamsat-V2 was made by students belonging to a space education firm.

It will help ham radio operators and “inspire schoolchildren to become the scientists and engineers of the future”, India’s space agency says.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) launched the satellite from its Sriharikota space centre.

    Brits here claiming that India is sending rockets with the help of their "peanut" size "aid". Meanwhile these white supremacists are not capacble of sending a golf ball to space on their own.

    I had to go way down in the comments section to understand what sort of jealous comments from British people are there. Well I understood couple of things.
    1. BBC like always didn't give the clear picture about this launch.
    2. The launch was for a army surveillance satellite. ISRO made a space for the Kalamsat (the satellite made by students) and did not charge for it even.
    3. India does not run on British aid. Please grow up.
    4. India doesn't need British aid. Understand this well. Britain is built on plunders gathered from all around the world during colonial times. Not India.
    5. our space program, research institutions, armed forces, democracy won't come to a hault, if you stop your aid.
    6. In 2019, India's economy was going to surpass that of UK, pushing UK down to 6th spot. But seems UK has already done that job on our behalf by committing Brexit. We are just 3 months away from becoming larger economy than UK.
    7. Go by the rape rate ( statistics as some intelligent people call it), not by the number. You are a tiny little island for us, in terms of population. So it doesn't make any sense to go by the number, rather go by rates and you will see, how safe British women are in UK, compared to Indian women.

    8. Those , especially British, who want to lecture on Indian poverty, please have a look at this.

Cyber Attack: Ransomware causing chaos globally – BBC News

Published

on



Tens of thousands of organisations have been caught out by a computer virus called WannaCry. The malicious software locks data away and demands a payment of up to $300 (£230) a time before it will restore scrambled files. In the UK, many hospitals fell victim and some health organisations diverted ambulances and cancelled non-essential services as they sought to contain and clean up the infection. Infections in more than 99 nations are being reported by security firms. It appears that the hardest hit are Russia and Spain.

Is this AI’s moment of truth? | BBC News

Published

on



A year ago, artificial intelligence was being sold as something close to science fiction — a technology that could transform society, cure disease, even reshape the global economy.

Today, the tone is changing. The companies leading the revolution are racing to the stock market — chasing billions in investment — while quietly confronting a much harder reality: AI is expensive, unpredictable, and far from profitable.

At the same time, some of the very people building this technology are warning we may be going too fast — even calling for a global pause.
And beyond Silicon Valley, a different story is emerging: growing public anxiety, political backlash, and the rise of what some are calling anti-AI populism.

So is AI entering its most pivotal moment yet — caught between financial pressure, technological risk, and political resistance?

AI Decoded Presenter Christian Fraser is joined by Financial Times AI Editor Madhumita Murgia, Thematic Strategist at Deutsche Bank Research Adrian Cox and Richard Coffin, Host of popular investing podcast ‘ The Plain Bagel’.
