Blue Origin postpones New Glenn Rocket launch due to weather: NASA ESCAPADE Mars Probes now set for 12 November 2025

Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket launch carrying NASA's ESCAPADE Mars probes was postponed due to unfavorable weather at Cape Canaveral. The delay, initially set for November 9, 2025, was further complicated by new FAA restrictions on commercial launches during the ongoing government shutdown. The next launch attempt is now scheduled for November 12, 2025.

2025 Toyota Hilux Debuts With EV Variant & Fresh Cabin, Hinting At Big Fortuner Upgrade

2025 Toyota Hilux Debuts With EV Variant & Fresh Cabin, Hinting At Big Fortuner Upgrade

The new Toyota Hilux has been revealed, and it is an all-new car which comes with an EV version too, while the interior is all new. The new Hilux is the ninth generation and will lay the foundation of the new Fortuner too. The all-new Hilux looks smart and has a new face, while the size remains. It still has the tough look but with a premium feel. The headlamps and the grille are narrower too, while the grille is all new. Inside, there are new 12.3-inch screens and a new digital instrument cluster, plus a new touchscreen. The interiors are a lot more modern now, and the new Hilux has a lot more in terms of features too. The design is influenced by the new Land Cruiser Prado, and there is a new shift-by-wire selector. We expect more features to come in, too. Powertrain & India Plans The new Hilux, for the first time, is offered in hybrid and EV form, while the main engine will remain in the form of the 2.8-litre diesel unit. Other changes also include a new electric steering wheel, which will improve the usability in the city and the steering response. The EV version has less range, though at 300km, but it is not aimed for those who need the range, while the EV version won't be coming to India, most probably. We can expect the hybrid versions to come to India, which makes sense for our market. Overall, the new Hilux shows us what the new Fortuner would be like and on the basis of this, there would be a big change for the Fortuner name.

Mahindra XEV 9e Vs Tata Harrier EV: Glam Vs Grit, Which Premium SUV Is Better For You

Mahindra XEV 9e Vs Tata Harrier EV: Glam Vs Grit, Which Premium SUV Is Better For You

Mahindra XEV 9e vs Tata Harrier EV: The Indian auto industry has changed, and these two showcase that more than anything else. The gradual shift towards electrification is one thing; the other is how two homegrown carmakers have made some of the most talked-about cars. The shift in buyer sentiment is seen with premium luxury being the new buzzword, and Indian car buyers now want SUVs more than anything else. The Mahindra XEV 9e and the Tata Harrier EV have formed a new premium EV segment, but with features more than many luxury cars. Hence, to see how these two SUVs have dominated the headlines and been a big change for their respective makers, we brought the newest homegrown EV stalwarts together in a head-on battle. The XEV and Harrier EV are a big step forward, with Mahindra plus Tata Motors putting in a lot of technology and effort. As a result, both of these two cars drive with finesse not seen before and are packed with features which take the fight to the luxury brands. But when together, how do they fare, and what separates them, plus what makes them the best premium EVs? Let us take a look. Mahindra XEV 9e: Glitz & Glam The coupe-like styling makes you go 'wow', and it turns heads, but the sheer length also takes you by surprise. It is big on presence, but even the cabin is impressive with three screens, including one for the passenger, which luxury car has that under a crore? Plus, at night, the patterned glass roof lighting, plus the cabin, just looks unlike anything else. Sure, the cabin is screen-heavy with many features buried within the main screen, but the feel-good factor is there. Space is excellent despite the coupe-like roofline, even for someone as tall as me, while the frunk is massive too. The driving experience further impresses with a clear bent towards on-road driving. It does not have the heft/toughness of the traditional Mahindra SUVs with lighter steering, but the semi-active dampers bring in a sophisticated driving experience laid with a nice ride quality, along with an agility not seen on something so big. It feels small behind the wheel and easy to drive, while on-road it drives like a premium SUV. There is a single motor only, but power is ample if more linear, since the smaller BE6 is the more aggressive driving machine. Range, though, is the standout point with being near 500km while being between 450-500 km easily, probably amongst the highest range. The XEV 9e, then, is about tech, features, more glitz, linear power, and a luxury car-like driving experience. Tata Harrier EV: Off-Roading Muscles The Harrier EV is very much a different car from the XEV 9e, but it targets a different buyer, too. There is a focus on off-road ability plus performance here, thanks to the dual motor layout. That stands out here as performance has that shock value, which makes it leap off the line despite the huge weight. The All Wheel Drive layout also adds a layer of invincibility by laying down the power despite the road surface. Off-road, it feels tough and can withstand a lot, including its ground clearance, which can take off-roading plus water wading, as we saw during the recent rains. Both cars have tech, but how they use it is different. The Harrier EV brings in features like the digital mirror and the 540-degree camera for off-roading, while with more physical buttons but has a more conservative design on the inside, plus it looks similar to the Harrier IC,E even though road presence is still tremendous. Range takes a slight hit with dual motors consuming more, but 400-430 km is pretty good for a full charge. There is more towards a traditional SUV/off-roader vibe with greater off-road ability while within an EV canvas. It feels like a big SUV behind the wheel and has the traditional tough feel, which Tata has given as the dual motor configuration makes it go towards a more rugged EV SUV. Mahindra XEV 9e vs Tata Harrier EV: Price & Which One You Should Go For Both EVs occupy the Rs 20-30 lakh space, with the XEV costing a bit more in terms of the top-end variants, but together offer tremendous value in terms of the sheer tech on offer, plus the features. That said, both EVs are different and appeal to different buyers. To compare, the Mahindra XEV 9e price ranges between Rs 21.9 lakh and Rs 31.25 lakh (Delhi ex-showroom price), while the Tata Harrier EV ranges between Rs 21.49 lakh and Rs 30.23 lakh. The Harrier EV is skewed towards performance, off-road ability and how it feels like a tough SUV, all the while being an EV. The XEV 9e, on the other hand, is aimed at the buyer who wants tech but also a car-like driving experience, but with a raised driving position, along with the space-age looks for sure. Hence, choose the Harrier EV for the toughness, performance, and off-road ability, while the XEV brings range, driving experience, and looks. Above all, these two showcase how they have become the best premium EVs out there.

South Africa calls Trump’s decision to boycott G20 Summit 'imperialist'

Johannesburg, Nov 9 (PTI): The South African government and the ruling African National Congress (ANC) on Sunday reacted angrily to US President Donald Trump's decision to boycott the G20 Summit scheduled to take place in a fortnight in Johannesburg.ANC Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula lashed out at both Trump and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who repeated the allegations made by Trump.Mbalula called the statements by the two US leaders “false”, labelling them as “imperialist interference.” Trump announced on Friday that no US official would participate in the Summit, which is being hosted by South Africa as it prepares to hand over the annual Presidency to the US.Trump cited the alleged persecution of white Afrikaner farmers in South Africa as the reason for his decision. This allegation has been denied and disproved repeatedly by both the South African government and leaders within the white community itself.“It is a total disgrace that the G20 will be held in South Africa. Afrikaners are being killed and slaughtered and their land and farms are being illegally confiscated. No US government official will attend as long as these human rights abuses continue,” Trump said in a strongly worded statement on his Truth Social platform.Rubio, adding his support for Trump’s decision, said in a statement on X: “Afrikaners have been continuously subjected to violent racial discrimination by the South African government. I applaud (Trump’s) decision to not waste taxpayer dollars sending our diplomats to the G20 while this heinous violence continues.” “This is a blatant lie. There is no racial discrimination happening in South Africa. South Africa’s laws seek to redress imbalances created by apartheid, which was declared by the UN as a crime against humanity, particularly against black people. We don’t take kindly to imperialist flirtations,” Mbalula said in an interview on TV network ENCA on Sunday.Mbalula reaffirmed that the Summit would continue despite the US not participating.“We will host a successful G20 Summit with or without the US. We are a constitutional and democratic state that believes in fair trade relations, not in the dominance of superpowers,” said Mbalula.“Our country must go ahead, and the G20 will take place without (the US). It’s unfortunate that they’ve stirred up things which, in our view as the ANC, borders on imperialism. We are an anti-imperialist organisation,” he said.Mbalula said Trump was undermining South Africa’s sovereignty and misrepresenting its democratic principles.“We reject Donald Trump’s assertions and fabrications. Trump’s administration has got no regard for our sovereignty. They think that we are a sub-country of the US, which is very unfortunate on their part,” Mbalula intimated.South African Minister of International Relations and Co-operation Ronald Lamola said the US claims were “baseless and politically motivated.” “Claims of a ‘white genocide’ or its euphemism, Afrikaner persecution, are imagined and used for political expediency,” Lamola was quoted as saying by News24 as he cited police data showing that crime on farms affects both black and white South Africans.“From April 2020 to March 2024, 225 people were victims of crime on farms in South Africa. Many of the victims, 101 (of which) were current or former farmworkers who are mostly black. Fifty-three of the victims were farmers, mostly white,” Lamola said.The Department of International Relations and Cooperation also issued a statement in which it called Trump’s assertions an “ahistorical” characterisation of Afrikaners as an exclusively white group.“The claim that this community faces persecution is not substantiated by fact. Our position on this matter remains consistent with our previous statements,” the statement said.Analysts said the tensions between South Africa and the US, one of its largest trading partners, have consistently deteriorated after Trump offered political refugee asylum to some white farmers from South Africa. The President also imposed huge tariffs on South African goods, severely impacting the local economy.With just two weeks before the Summit, which is to be attended by global leaders, there are concerns in some quarters that some states aligned to Trump might also withdraw in the coming days.

Pak Navy chief arrives in Dhaka to bolster defence cooperation

Dhaka, Nov 9 (PTI): Pakistan’s Navy chief Admiral Naveed Ashraf on Sunday met Bangladesh’s Army chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman and held talks with his counterpart Admiral M Nazmul Hassan during his visit to bolster bilateral defence ties, according to an official statement.“They (Ashraf and Zaman) discussed ways to strengthen bilateral defence cooperation and military capabilities. They also discussed prospects of expanded military cooperation through bilateral training, seminars, and visits,” Defence Ministry’s Inter Service Public Relations (ISPR) directorate or media wing said in a statement.The four-day visit came a day after a Pakistani naval ship, PNS SAIF, anchored off Bangladesh's main port in southeastern Chattogram for a four-day goodwill visit.  Pakistan Navy, said in a statement, the development is a coordinated engagement that underscored Islamabad’s “commitment to strengthen longstanding ties and improve maritime collaboration with Bangladesh".  Earlier in the day, Hassan received his Pakistani counterpart at the airport, where a Bangladeshi naval contingent offered him an honour guard. Ashraf paid homage to the 1971 Liberation War martyrs of the armed forces, placing wreaths at their memorial, Shikha Anirban, in Dhaka Cantonment.  The ISPR said the two navy chiefs' meeting featured matters related to training and professional collaboration. The meeting was also attended by visiting Pakistani navy delegation members, its high commissioner in Dhaka and senior Bangladeshi navy officers.  Ashraf’s Bangladesh visit came two weeks after Pakistan’s Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee (CJCSC) chairman General Sahir Shamshad Mirza visited Bangladesh and met interim government chief Muhammad Yunus and three armed forces chiefs.  Bangladesh-Pakistan ties witnessed a rapid development after the ouster of deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League regime on August 5, 2024, in a student-led street protest called July Uprising which installed Yunus as the head of the interim administration.   According to ISPR, the Pakistan Navy chief is scheduled to meet Bangladesh’s Air Force chief Air Chief Marshal Hasan Mahmood Khan and the principal staff officer of the Armed Forces Division, the commandant of the National Defence College, and naval administrative authorities in the southwestern port city of Chattogram.
