Trump's 200% tariff plan may be a bitter pill for US consumers; Dr Reddy's warns of costlier medicines

The United States plans significant tariffs on imported generic medicines. These duties will rise to 200% in the coming years. Dr Reddy's Laboratories anticipates higher medicine prices for American consumers. Shifting manufacturing to the US is currently considered impractical by the company. India faces substantial exposure as a major generic medicine exporter to the US.

Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, Samsung Galaxy Watch 9 First Impressions: Smarter, Brighter, More Personal Than Ever

Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, Samsung Galaxy Watch 9 First Impressions: Smarter, Brighter, More Personal Than Ever

Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, Samsung Galaxy Watch 9 First Impressions: Smartwatches have quietly evolved over the years. They no longer just count steps, buzz with notifications or remind you to stand up every hour. Today, they're expected to understand your body almost as well as you do. Samsung clearly got the memo. With the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and Galaxy Watch 9, the company isn't chasing flashy new party tricks. Instead, it's doubling down on something arguably more useful, turning the endless stream of health data collected from your wrist into advice you can actually understand and act upon. After spending some time with both watches at Galaxy Unpacked, one thing became clear. These aren't just smarter watches. They're trying to become smarter health companions. ALSO READ: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra Vs Galaxy Z Fold 8: Go Big Or Go Small? You'll Be A Winner No Matter What One Family, Two Very Different Personalities Samsung has split its smartwatch lineup much like its foldables. The Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 is built for people who spend weekends climbing mountains, training for marathons or disappearing underwater with scuba gear. The Galaxy Watch 9, meanwhile, is designed for the remaining 99 per cent of us. It focuses on everyday wellness, sleep, workouts and long-term health without looking like an adventure watch strapped to your wrist. Both share Samsung's latest AI-powered health platform, but they're clearly built with different lifestyles in mind. Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 Means Business Samsung hasn't held back with the hardware. The Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 packs Samsung's largest-ever smartwatch battery at 800mAh, a sizeable 35 per cent increase over the previous Ultra model. Powering everything underneath is Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Wear Elite Platform, promising faster performance alongside more accurate GPS tracking. Then there's the display. At a staggering 5,000 nits, Samsung claims this is the world's brightest smartwatch display, making it comfortably readable even under harsh sunlight. Outdoor athletes also get several new tricks. Trail Run now tracks elevation, climbing progress and terrain impact while offering hydration guidance through Samsung's new Nutrition Alert, helping runners understand not just how far they've gone, but when it's time to refuel and hydrate. Divers haven't been forgotten either. The Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 carries IP69K, 10ATM and EN13319 certifications, making it genuinely dive-ready. It can automatically record depth, dive time and water temperature, while Samsung is also partnering with diving specialist Mares to bring advanced diving features through the upcoming Ultra2 Diving app. Despite packing all that hardware, Samsung has somehow managed to make the watch 12 per cent slimmer than its predecessor. Engineering wizardry, if you ask me. Galaxy Watch 9 Is Built For Everyday Life Not everyone needs dive certifications. Most people simply want a smartwatch that comfortably tracks sleep, workouts and heart health without becoming a brick on the wrist. That's exactly where the Galaxy Watch 9 fits in. Samsung has retained the familiar cushion-inspired design while making the watch lighter, slimmer and more comfortable for round-the-clock wear. Inside sits the same Snapdragon Wear Elite Platform, paired with a 390mAh battery and a bright 3,000-nit display that remains easily readable outdoors. The real focus, however, is consistency. Samsung wants users to wear this watch all day and all night, allowing it to build a richer understanding of their health over time. The AI Story Isn't About AI At All Every smartwatch company is talking about AI this year. Samsung's implementation feels refreshingly practical. Instead of flooding users with graphs and medical terminology, both watches quietly analyse biometric data collected through Samsung's BioActive Sensor, before translating it into personalised recommendations that actually make sense. The watches now introduce several new health tools. There's an upgraded Sleep Apnea feature backed by new AI models and FDA clearance, Vitals that monitor deviations from your normal health baseline, a new Heart Health Score, Daily Cardio Load to better manage workout intensity, Fitness Index for tracking overall fitness, and even Hearing insights that warn users about prolonged exposure to loud environments. Bands That Match Your Lifestyle Samsung is also treating watch bands as more than fashion accessories this year. The Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 gets purpose-built options including the Marine Band for water sports, PeakForm Band for workouts and daily wear, and the breathable Trail Band for runners and outdoor enthusiasts. The Galaxy Watch 9 receives a colourful new collection featuring Sports, Misty and Fabric Bands, each designed around comfort during everything from workouts to sleep tracking. It's a small detail. But it reinforces Samsung's bigger message that these watches are meant to stay on your wrist all day, every day. Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 And Galaxy Watch 9: Early Verdict Samsung isn't trying to convince people to buy a smartwatch anymore. It's trying to convince them to wear one all the time. The Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 does that through brute-force hardware: an enormous battery, an incredibly bright display, rugged durability and sports features that border on professional equipment. The Galaxy Watch 9 takes the quieter approach, focusing on comfort, continuous health tracking and making wellness feel effortless rather than overwhelming.

'Attack Ships In Hormuz And We'll Blow Up Bridges, Power Plants': Trump's Open Threat To Iran

'Attack Ships In Hormuz And We'll Blow Up Bridges, Power Plants': Trump's Open Threat To Iran

US President Donald Trump on Wednesday warned that the United States would strike Iranian infrastructure if Tehran attacked any ship transiting the Strait of Hormuz. In a post on his social media platform, Trump said any Iranian attack using missiles, rockets, drones or other weapons would trigger US strikes on "one bridge or power plant", including facilities near the Iranian capital, Tehran. The warning comes amid heightened tensions in West Asia, even as Washington says lower-level contacts with Iran continue despite doubts over Tehran's commitment to negotiations. Trump's Fresh Warning "From this point forward, any time the Islamic Republic of Iran shoots at a ship in the Strait of Hormuz... the United States will bomb and destroy ONE BRIDGE OR POWER PLANT, including those located next to, or in, the Capital City of Tehran," he wrote. The remarks came as the US administration acknowledged that lower-level discussions with Iran had taken place in recent days, although Trump did not specify who was involved. US Secretary of State and acting National Security Adviser Marco Rubio said Iran had made overtures but questioned Tehran's sincerity, alleging it had failed to honour commitments made under a memorandum of understanding. Also Read: 'Iran Not Serious About Talks': Marco Rubio Warns Tehran Of Consequences Conflict Intensifies Trump's warning comes as the US and Iran continue exchanging military strikes across the region. The United States has carried out attacks on Iran for an 11th consecutive day, with reported explosions near the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant, Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz, Tabriz and Chabahar. Iran, meanwhile, claims it has launched retaliatory strikes against US military bases in Jordan and Bahrain. The escalation has pushed oil prices to around $94 a barrel, their highest level since early June. Speaking at an ASEAN meeting in the Philippines, Rubio described Iran as "the troublemaker of the region" and warned that any attempt by Tehran to control shipping or impose tolls in the Strait of Hormuz would create a "very dangerous precedent" for global trade and freedom of navigation. Diplomatic efforts are nevertheless continuing, with Pakistan recently hosting a senior Iranian official in an attempt to reduce tensions and prevent the conflict from expanding into a wider regional war.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 First Impressions: Cover Screen Finally Grows Up

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 First Impressions: Cover Screen Finally Grows Up

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 First Impressions: Flip phones have always been the fun siblings of foldables. They were stylish, compact and undeniably cool. But every time I picked one up, I found myself asking the same question: Why do I still have to open it so often? With the Galaxy Z Flip 8, Samsung finally seems to have found an answer. This year's biggest upgrade isn't the camera. It isn't the design. It isn't even Galaxy AI. It's the cover screen. Or rather, what Samsung has managed to make it do. ALSO READ: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra First Impressions: Titanium Flexes, The Crease Doesn't A Cover Screen That Finally Feels Like A Phone The FlexWindow has gone from being a fancy notification panel to something that genuinely feels useful. Samsung has redesigned the entire experience around quick interactions. Instead of constantly flipping open the phone, you can now check updates, interact with apps, trigger AI features and complete everyday tasks directly from the outer display. The biggest addition here is Now Brief. Think of it as your phone quietly keeping an eye on your day. Upcoming appointments, reminders, weather updates, travel information and contextual suggestions appear exactly when you need them, turning the FlexWindow into something far more proactive than before. Samsung has also made Gemini Intelligence much easier to access from the cover display. A press of the side key, or simply asking with your voice, lets you complete connected actions without even unfolding the phone. It feels less like a secondary screen and more like the phone's primary interface for quick everyday moments. And honestly, that's exactly how a Flip phone should work. Still One Of The Most Pocketable Phones Around Samsung hasn't forgotten why people buy Flip phones in the first place. The Galaxy Z Flip 8 weighs just 180g and measures only 6.1mm when unfolded, making it Samsung's slimmest and lightest Flip yet. It folds neatly into almost any pocket, disappears into small handbags with ease and still carries that unmistakable "wait... your phone folds?" factor whenever you snap it shut. Samsung Is Doubling Down On The Selfie Game The Flip series has always had one unfair advantage over regular smartphones. You can use the main cameras for selfies. Samsung is making even better use of that this year. The Galaxy Z Flip 8 features a new 50MP primary camera powered by Samsung's ProVisual Engine, promising more detailed portraits, improved dynamic range and more natural-looking skin tones. But the hardware is only half the story. The software is where things get interesting. Flex Mode lets you prop the phone up almost anywhere for hands-free shooting, while Camcorder Grip recreates the feel of a traditional camcorder, complete with a dedicated zoom rocker that makes recording videos feel surprisingly intuitive. Samsung has also introduced Horizontal Lock for Super Steady mode, helping keep footage level while walking or filming moving subjects. My favourite additions, though, are the little ones. FlipShot lets you customise the FlexWindow before snapping mirror selfies, while Mirror View transforms the cover display into an actual mirror, making last-second outfit checks and hair fixes genuinely useful before hitting the shutter. They're small touches. Galaxy AI Feels More At Home Here Galaxy AI has found an unexpectedly natural home inside the Flip form factor. Instead of overwhelming you with complex features, Samsung uses AI to make everyday interactions quicker. Whether it's surfacing useful information through Now Brief, letting Gemini handle requests directly from the cover screen, or helping improve selfies through ProVisual Engine, the AI here feels less like a headline feature and more like something quietly working in the background. That's probably the right direction. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8: Early Verdict The Galaxy Z Flip 8 simply makes the 'Flip' concept make more sense. For years, the cover screen felt like something you occasionally glanced at before inevitably opening the phone anyway. This year, Samsung has finally made it useful enough that you'll probably keep the phone closed far more often. And strangely enough, that's what impressed me the most. Sometimes, the best foldable experience isn't about unfolding at all.

4 In 10 Health Workers Suffer Violence On The Job: WHO Report

Doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals dedicate their lives to treating patients, often working long hours under immense pressure. Yet, across the world, the people responsible for saving lives are increasingly becoming victims of violence. From verbal abuse and threats to physical assaults, workplace aggression against healthcare workers has emerged as a major public health concern. The World Health Organization (WHO) has described the trend as a growing global crisis, warning that violence against healthcare workers not only endangers medical staff but also affects the quality of patient care and the overall functioning of health systems. WHO Report Highlights A Disturbing Reality According to the WHO, nearly 4 in 10 healthcare workers experience physical violence at least once during their careers. When verbal abuse, intimidation, threats and other forms of workplace aggression are included, the figure rises to 60–62%, indicating that a majority of healthcare professionals face some form of violence while performing their duties. Research published in the medical journal Atención Primaria also paints a worrying picture. The review found some of the highest reported rates of violence against healthcare workers in Germany (91%), China (90%), Peru (84.5%), Turkey (84%) and India (77.3%). Significant numbers were also reported in Jordan (63%), Bulgaria (55%), Italy (51.5%), Poland (51%) and the United States (47%). The findings suggest that workplace violence is not limited to developing nations but has become a widespread challenge affecting healthcare systems across the globe. ALSO READ | How Long Can You Use Cooking Oil? Know How To Store It Right Why Are Attacks On Doctors Increasing? Healthcare experts believe several factors contribute to rising aggression against medical professionals. Overcrowded hospitals, staff shortages, long waiting times and increasing patient expectations often create frustration among families seeking treatment. Communication gaps between healthcare providers and patients can further escalate tensions, particularly during medical emergencies or when treatment outcomes do not meet expectations. Medical experts also point out that declining patience and unrealistic expectations have intensified the problem. In many cases, anger over delays, costs or unsuccessful treatment is directed at doctors and hospital staff, even when they have followed appropriate medical protocols. The result is an increasingly stressful work environment that affects both the mental well-being of healthcare workers and the quality of care they are able to provide. ALSO READ | Not Every Fever Is Dengue: How To Identify The Difference During The Monsoon Season India And The Global Response India has enacted laws in 19 states to protect healthcare workers, yet incidents of violence continue to be reported. Many medical associations argue that a comprehensive national law is needed to ensure uniform protection across the country. In Maharashtra alone, 738 cases related to attacks on healthcare workers were registered between 2010 and 2021 under the state's protective legislation. Several countries have adopted stricter measures to improve healthcare worker safety. Spain classified assaults on doctors as crimes against the state, leading to a reported decline in violent incidents. Singapore imposes heavy fines and jail terms for abuse or assault of healthcare workers while also providing staff with specialised training to handle difficult situations. In the United Kingdom, patients involved in violent behaviour can be removed from a general practitioner's patient list, while several US states have introduced stricter penalties for assaulting healthcare personnel. Healthcare experts believe that stronger legal protection, better hospital security, improved communication with patients and greater public awareness are essential to creating safer workplaces. Protecting healthcare workers, they say, is not only about safeguarding those who provide medical care it is also vital for ensuring safe, effective and uninterrupted healthcare services for everyone.

Cockroaches In Your Kitchen? Get Rid Of Them Naturally With This Simple Home Remedy

Spotting cockroaches in the kitchen is more than just an unpleasant sight it can be a serious hygiene concern. These pests can contaminate food, spread harmful bacteria and trigger allergies or asthma in sensitive individuals. While many people immediately think of expensive pest control services, a few effective home remedies and better kitchen habits can help keep cockroaches under control naturally. If cockroaches have started making frequent appearances in your kitchen, here's how you can tackle the problem without relying on harsh chemicals. Keep Your Kitchen Clean And Dry Cockroaches thrive in dark, damp places where food is easily available. Kitchen sinks, drains, cabinets, the space behind the refrigerator and gas stove are some of their favourite hiding spots. To reduce the chances of an infestation: Wipe kitchen counters after every meal. Store food in airtight containers. Clean up crumbs and spills immediately. Empty the dustbin regularly. Repair leaking taps and pipes, as cockroaches are attracted to moisture. Avoid leaving dirty dishes in the sink overnight. Maintaining a clean and dry kitchen is one of the simplest and most effective ways to discourage these pests. ALSO READ | Can Feeding Donkeys Bring Rain? The Folk Tradition Behind Bhopal's Viral Video Try These Easy Home Remedies Several natural ingredients commonly found at home can help drive cockroaches away. Baking Soda and Sugar: Mix equal quantities of baking soda and sugar, then place the mixture in areas where cockroaches are commonly seen. The sugar attracts the insects, while the baking soda affects them after ingestion. Refresh the mixture every few days for better results. Food-Grade Diatomaceous Earth: This natural powder works by damaging the outer protective layer of cockroaches, causing them to dehydrate. Sprinkle it only in dry corners, under cabinets and behind appliances, as moisture reduces its effectiveness. Essential Oils: Peppermint, tea tree and eucalyptus oils act as natural repellents. Add a few drops to water in a spray bottle and spray around drains, cracks and kitchen corners. Their strong fragrance helps keep cockroaches away without using chemical pesticides. ALSO READ | ABP LIVE Doc Talk | Wearing Contact Lenses This Monsoon? Avoid These Eye Care Mistakes Natural Repellents That Also Work Simple household ingredients can also help reduce cockroach activity. Crushed bay leaves placed inside cupboards, drawers and storage shelves act as a natural deterrent because cockroaches dislike their smell. Cleaning kitchen surfaces with a mixture of white vinegar and water helps remove grease, food residue and odours that attract pests. While vinegar does not kill cockroaches directly, regular cleaning makes your kitchen less inviting for them. If the infestation continues despite these measures, or cockroaches are appearing in large numbers, it may indicate a larger nesting problem that requires professional pest control. However, for minor infestations, combining good hygiene with these simple home remedies can go a long way in keeping your kitchen clean, safe and cockroach free.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra Vs Galaxy Z Fold 8: Go Big Or Go Small? You'll Be A Winner No Matter What

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra Vs Galaxy Z Fold 8: Go Big Or Go Small? You'll Be A Winner No Matter What

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra Vs Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8: Samsung has done something rather unusual this year.  Instead of simply launching a better Fold, it has launched two very different interpretations of what a foldable phone should be. On one side sits the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra: the biggest, brightest and most feature-packed Fold Samsung has ever built. On the other is the Galaxy Z Fold 8, a surprisingly compact foldable that feels like it was designed for people who always found Fold phones a tad too bulky. The interesting bit? Neither feels like a lesser version of the other. They simply solve different problems. Here's how they compare. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra Vs Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Design: Tablet Replacement Vs Everyday Companion If the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is built to replace your tablet, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 is designed to replace your regular smartphone. The Ultra impresses with its impossibly slim 4.1mm profile when unfolded and weighs 215g, making it remarkably light considering its large display. The Fold 8, meanwhile, weighs just 201g and introduces a more compact form factor with a 5.5-inch cover display and 7.6-inch inner display. It feels easier to slip into your pocket and far more comfortable during extended one-handed use. ALSO READ: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra First Impressions: Titanium Flexes, The Crease Doesn't Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra Vs Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Display: Both Brilliant, Just Built Differently Whichever Fold you pick, you're getting one of Samsung's best displays. Both feature 3,000 nits peak brightness, Flex Titanium technology for reduced crease visibility and an anti-reflective coating. The Ultra edges ahead with its sharper 2504 × 2256 resolution and 422ppi, making it ideal for productivity and multitasking. The Fold 8 counters with a wonderfully practical aspect ratio. Its 3:4 portrait layout feels tailor-made for reading articles and ebooks, while the 4:3 landscape format is fantastic for watching videos. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra Vs Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Camera: Ultra Gets The Flagship Treatment The Ultra is the more photography-focused of the two. It packs Samsung's flagship 200MP primary sensor, a 50MP ultra-wide camera and a 10MP telephoto, along with APV Codec support for higher-quality video recording. The Fold 8 keeps things simpler with 50MP wide and 50MP ultra-wide cameras, dual 10MP selfie cameras, and 8K video recording.Both also introduce My Fan Cam, Samsung's AI-powered subject tracking feature that automatically keeps your chosen person centred while recording. ALSO READ: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 First Impressions: Sorry Apple, Samsung Got There First Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra Vs Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8: Similarities Performance is identical. Both are powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy, so whether you're multitasking, gaming or editing videos, neither should leave you wanting more. The Ultra carries a slightly larger 5,000mAh battery, while the Fold 8 packs a respectable 4,800mAh cell. Both support 45W wired charging, although only the Ultra supports 20W wireless charging.  Samsung has kept the AI experience largely consistent. Both devices get Galaxy AI features, while the Ultra additionally introduces Nudge, an intelligent assistant that creates reminders and calendar events from emails and chats. The Fold 8, meanwhile, focuses on camera intelligence with My Fan Cam, making it easier to capture moving subjects. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra Vs Galaxy Z Fold 8: Which One Suits You Better? Go for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra if you: Want Samsung's most advanced foldable yet Prioritise cameras and photography Prefer the biggest display for multitasking Want the larger 5,000mAh battery Like having every flagship feature Samsung offers Go for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 if you: Prefer a lighter, pocket-friendly foldable Read a lot of books, articles and PDFs Want a Fold that feels closer to a regular smartphone Value portability as much as productivity Love the idea of a compact foldable without sacrificing flagship performance
