PM Modi Helped Prevent Putin From Using Nuclear Weapons In 2022, Claims Polish Minister

PM Modi Helped Prevent Putin From Using Nuclear Weapons In 2022, Claims Polish Minister

Poland's Deputy Foreign Minister Wladyslaw Teofil Bartoszewski has credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi with playing a crucial role in preventing a dangerous escalation in the Russia-Ukraine war, claiming the Indian leader helped dissuade Russian President Vladimir Putin from using tactical nuclear weapons in late 2022. Speaking after the India-Poland Joint Economic Commission meeting in New Delhi on Monday, Bartoszewski said Modi remains one of the few global leaders whose views carry significant weight with Putin because of India's decades-long relationship with Russia. The remarks have once again highlighted India's diplomatic positioning during the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, with New Delhi continuing to maintain ties with both Moscow and the West while advocating dialogue and peace. Polish Minister Says Putin Listens To PM Modi Addressing reporters in New Delhi, Bartoszewski described Prime Minister Modi as a respected global statesman whose relationship with Russia gives him unique influence over President Putin. Bartoszewski said, as per reports: "Prime Minister Narendra Modi was a very well-known world statesman, who is very respected." The Polish minister went on to claim that Modi's intervention proved significant during a critical phase of the Ukraine conflict. "I mentioned the role Prime Minister Modi played in stopping Putin from using tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine at the end of 2022. Prime Minister Modi is one of the few people who can actually exert some pressure and influence on President Putin, and that is clearly something India could do to help stop this conflict," he said, as per reports. ALSO READ: What Is India's 'Seafarer-First' Response? Govt To Track Every Indian Mariner After Hormuz Attack Modi's Diplomatic Outreach During Ukraine War Bartoszewski's comments have renewed attention on Modi's diplomatic engagement during the Russia-Ukraine war. In September 2022, during the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit in Uzbekistan, Modi told Putin that "today's era is not of war," a remark that was widely seen as India's call for diplomacy and de-escalation. The Polish minister said appeals for restraint are more effective when they come from countries that Russia does not view as hostile. He noted that both India and China had consistently opposed escalation during the conflict. ALSO READ: Trump Drops 20% Hormuz Cargo Fee Threat As US Tightens Blockade On Iran Ports Poland Says Differences Over Russian Oil Have Narrowed Bartoszewski also said Poland and India have developed a better understanding regarding New Delhi's purchases of discounted Russian crude oil. He acknowledged that Warsaw had previously criticised India's imports, arguing they indirectly supported Russia's wartime economy. However, he said Poland now recognises the economic rationale behind India's decision to purchase oil offered at substantially lower prices.

4 Simple Decor Hacks To Make A Small Room Feel Bigger And More Luxurious

Living in a compact home or apartment often means making the most of limited space. A small room can quickly start feeling cramped when it's filled with bulky furniture or too many decorative items. Because of this, many people assume they need expensive interiors, premium furniture, or a complete renovation to achieve a luxurious look. The good news is that interior experts say a few smart decor changes can completely transform a small space. With the right colours, furniture, and styling, even a compact room can feel brighter, bigger, and more elegant. Choose Light Colours And Smart Furniture The easiest way to make a small room feel spacious is by choosing the right colour palette. Shades like white, cream, off-white, light grey, and soft pastels reflect more light, creating an airy and premium feel. Sticking to one colour family throughout the room also makes the space look more cohesive and visually larger. Furniture selection matters just as much. Avoid oversized sofas or bulky pieces that overwhelm the room. Instead, opt for multi-functional furniture, such as storage beds or compact tables, that save space without compromising on style. If your room gets natural sunlight, place a large mirror opposite or near a window. It reflects light around the room, instantly making the space appear brighter and more open. ALSO READ | Gen-Z Vastu Tips: 3 Hacks To Elevate Energy, Productivity And Mood Declutter And Create One Focal Point A luxurious room isn't necessarily filled with expensive décor it's often the one that feels organised. Keep only essential items on tables, shelves, and the floor, while storing the rest neatly out of sight. A clutter-free room instantly looks cleaner and more spacious. Rather than decorating every corner, choose one feature wall or focal point. A large painting, elegant wall art, statement mirror, or decorative window treatment naturally draws attention and gives the room a refined, designer-inspired appearance. ALSO READ | Small Living Room? Smart Sofa And Furniture Ideas That Actually Work Arrange Decor Thoughtfully Small changes in furniture placement can make a noticeable difference. Instead of pushing every piece tightly against the wall, leave a gap of a few inches wherever possible. This creates a sense of depth and makes the room feel less cramped. Add height with floor lamps, tall indoor plants, or slim bookshelves to draw the eye upward and create the illusion of a taller room. Finally, choose a rug that's proportional to the space, allowing at least the front legs of your furniture to rest on it. This simple trick ties the room together and gives it a balanced, luxurious finish. With thoughtful styling and a few budget-friendly updates, even the smallest room can feel spacious, stylish, and welcoming without the need for a costly makeover.

24-Year-Old British Sikh Woman Dies In London Knife Attack; Suspect Arrested

24-Year-Old British Sikh Woman Dies In London Knife Attack; Suspect Arrested

London, Jul 15 (PTI) A 24-year-old British Sikh woman has been killed and a man in his 20s remains in hospital in a stabbing attack at a property in west London, the Metropolitan Police said. Kirandeep Kaur was found with stab injuries when officers attended the property on Uxbridge Road in Hayes with the London Ambulance Service on Sunday and pronounced dead at the scene "despite the efforts of emergency services". The Met Police arrested 44-year-old Daniel Sean James, who appeared before Willesden Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday, charged with murder, attempted murder and possession of a bladed article. “This is a shocking incident which has tragically resulted in one woman losing her life and another man in hospital with injuries," said Detective Chief Inspector Allam Bhangoo. “Our thoughts at this time are with both victims and their loved ones, who are being supported by specialist officers. Our enquiries are in the early stages but we do not believe there to be any wider threat to the public," he said. Bhangoo appealed to anyone who may have witnessed anything or has information that could assist the murder investigation to contact the Met Police. “We know this incident will have caused significant concern in the community and residents can expect to see an increased police presence in the area over the coming days,” he said. The police said Kaur's next-of-kin have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers. The injured man, in his 20s, found outside the property in Hayes with stab injuries remains in hospital, but his injuries are not believed to be life-threatening. The Met Police said officers had quickly located Daniel Sean James, who matched the suspect’s description, nearby. He was arrested and taken to the hospital with injuries believed to have been caused after jumping from a window. Some groups have expressed concerns that the attack may have been an anti-Sikh hate crime, coming weeks after the conviction of a British Sikh man found guilty of the murder of a teenager in south-east England in May. Vickrum Digwa, 23, was sentenced to life imprisonment over the fatal stabbing of 18-year-old Henry Nowak following a highly charged trial where Digwa attempted a religious defence for his murder weapon. The Sikh Network is presenting findings of a “spot survey” in Parliament on Wednesday that claims 40 per cent of respondents have experienced or witnessed anti-Sikh hate crimes since the trial.  (Disclaimer: This report has been published as part of the auto-generated syndicate wire feed.

OpenAI's First Gadget Will Not Take On iPhone, It'll Instead Bring ChatGPT Into Your Living Room

OpenAI's long-rumoured hardware ambitions are finally taking shape, and the company's first consumer device may look nothing like the AI smartphone many expected. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, OpenAI is developing a portable, screen-free smart speaker designed to function as a deeply personalised AI companion rather than a conventional voice assistant. It is targeted at Apple's much-hyped-yet-failed HomePod. The device, which is reportedly being prepared for a 2027 launch, could become the first physical embodiment of ChatGPT and signal OpenAI's biggest move yet beyond software. More Than A Smart Speaker While the product resembles a speaker, OpenAI reportedly views it internally as an entirely new category of AI computer. Instead of relying on a screen, users would interact primarily through voice conversations powered by GPT-Live, OpenAI's newest generation of real-time voice technology. The speaker is expected to answer questions, manage messages, control connected smart-home devices, play music and provide access to ChatGPT's capabilities. What sets it apart, however, is OpenAI's ambition to make the device increasingly proactive and personalised as it learns more about its owner over time. ALSO READ: Apple Sues OpenAI, Claims Former Employees Took Confidential Hardware Secrets A Device That Moves Around With You Unlike traditional smart speakers that remain fixed in one room, OpenAI's product is expected to include a rechargeable battery, allowing users to carry it from room to room throughout the day. Whether helping with recipes in the kitchen, assisting with chores in the laundry room or playing music in the bedroom, the speaker is designed to stay close to the user. Reports also suggest the device will include cameras and environmental sensors that help it understand context and surroundings, enabling more relevant and intelligent responses. The Big Differentiator: Personality Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of the device is OpenAI's focus on making it feel less like a gadget and more like a companion. According to Gurman's reporting, the speaker incorporates mechanical elements capable of movement, creating the impression that it is alive and actively engaging with its user. The company reportedly believes this humanlike personality will become the product's defining feature. Over time, it may draw on information from services such as emails and messages to better understand habits, preferences and routines, allowing it to anticipate needs rather than simply respond to commands. ALSO READ: ChatGPT Work Is More Than A Chatbot: 7 Features That You Can Utilise To Get Some Real Work Done Jony Ive's Influence & Apple's Challenge The project is being developed with help from Jony Ive's design firm LoveFrom following OpenAI's $6.5 billion acquisition of io Products. Several former Apple executives and engineers are also involved in the effort. OpenAI reportedly plans to unveil the device this year before a commercial release in 2027, though ongoing litigation with Apple could affect timelines. Even so, Gurman's report suggests the company sees the speaker as the first step toward a broader hardware ecosystem that could eventually include wearable devices, robotics and potentially a smartphone alternative.

LPG Cylinder Big Update: New 10-Kg Commercial Option On The Cards, Who Could Benefit?

LPG Cylinder Big Update: New 10-Kg Commercial Option On The Cards, Who Could Benefit?

A new LPG cylinder option could soon be available to small businesses and consumers looking for an alternative to bulky commercial cylinders, with state-run oil marketing companies (OMCs) considering expanding lightweight 10-kg composite cylinders beyond domestic use. Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL) and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL) are evaluating the introduction of 10-kg composite LPG cylinders for commercial users, according to a Live Hindustan report and industry inputs. If approved, the smaller cylinders are likely to be sold at commercial LPG rates. A New Option Between 5-Kg And 19-Kg LPG Cylinders Commercial LPG users currently have access to 19-kg, 5-kg and 2-kg cylinders. The proposed 10-kg option would provide a middle ground for consumers who need more fuel than smaller cylinders offer but find the standard 19-kg commercial cylinder difficult to manage. According to the report, the proposal is aimed at users such as small cafes, tea stalls and other consumers for whom transporting and storing a larger cylinder can be challenging. Officials said migrant workers, tenants, students, street vendors, cafes and food kiosks are also among the groups that could benefit from the proposed expansion. Many of these users require LPG but may have limited space to store a 19-kg commercial cylinder. Also Read : Crude Oil Prices Rise For Third Day As US Strikes On Iran Fuel Supply Fears What Makes The 10-Kg Composite Cylinder Different? The proposed cylinders use high-density polyethylene (HDPE) composite technology and are significantly lighter than traditional steel LPG cylinders, reported Business Today. “The 10-kg composite cylinder is nearly 50% lighter than a conventional steel cylinder, making it easier to carry, transport and handle. Unlike steel cylinders, these are easier to carry to upper floors, and their translucent body lets consumers check gas levels without a gauge, making refills easier to plan," an oil company executive said. The translucent design allows users to visually check the level of LPG remaining inside the cylinder. This could help consumers plan refills instead of unexpectedly running out of cooking gas. The lighter construction could also make the cylinders easier to carry up staircases and transport within smaller commercial establishments. Composite LPG Cylinders Are Already Available For Homes The composite cylinder technology itself is not new to India's LPG market. State-run oil companies already offer lightweight cylinders to domestic consumers under different brand names. HPCL markets the cylinders as HP Gas Ojas, while IndianOil offers Indane Xtralight and BPCL sells Bharatgas Lite. The proposal under consideration would expand the use of the 10-kg cylinder format to commercial LPG consumers. How Much Does Commercial LPG Currently Cost? Any final pricing structure will be an important consideration for users. Commercial LPG currently costs around 133 per cent more than domestic cooking gas. In Delhi, a 14.2-kg domestic LPG cylinder is priced at Rs 942, while a 19-kg commercial cylinder costs Rs 2,930. A 5-kg commercial LPG cylinder is available for Rs 808.5. Industry analysts noted that pricing the proposed 10-kg cylinder at commercial LPG rates would bring it in line with existing commercial products. However, the cost could be a concern for lower-income consumers. Where Could The New Cylinders Be Available? If the proposal receives the required approvals, the 10-kg composite commercial cylinders could be distributed through existing LPG agencies and select retail outlets, according to sources. The wider distribution network is expected to improve access for mobile and space-constrained users, including street vendors and tenants. However, the final distribution framework is yet to be decided. Oil Companies Yet To Finalise Rollout Timeline The OMCs have not provided a definitive timeline for the proposed commercial expansion of 10-kg composite LPG cylinders. “We are evaluating demand, safety approvals and logistics before taking a final decision,” an OMC said. The final rollout would therefore depend on demand assessment, regulatory and safety approvals, and logistical considerations. Also Read : US-India Tariff Tussle Heats Up: 100% Duty Threat, Forced Labour Rules Open New Front Energy Supplies Remain Adequate For Now The proposed LPG cylinder expansion comes as fresh geopolitical tensions in West Asia keep energy markets in focus. According to industry experts and reports, India is unlikely to face immediate energy supply concerns as the country has adequate crude inventories and diversified sourcing arrangements for its near-term requirements. Fresh tensions could, however, push up crude oil prices and raise procurement costs for September and October, experts said. India has already secured crude oil supplies for August and tied up LPG imports, supporting near-term energy availability. Some challenges could emerge in liquefied natural gas (LNG) supplies if disruptions persist, although industry experts expect these to remain manageable.

India-UK FTA Kicks In: Indian Exporters Can Ship Over 11 Lakh Tonnes Of Steel Duty-Free

New Delhi Jul 15 (PTI) Indian exporters will be able to ship over 11 lakh tonnes of steel annually to the UK duty-free under the free trade agreement, which came into force on Wednesday, through a combination of country-specific and residual quotas, an official said. The UK's March steel safeguard measures had become a major sticking point in implementing the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), which was signed on July 24, 2025. The resolution of the issue has paved the way for the implementation of the agreement from July 15. Overall, 188 steel items accounting for USD 137 million worth of steel exports from India to Britain were covered by these safeguard measures. India's total steel exports were USD 960 million in 2025. Also Read : US-India Tariff Tussle Heats Up: 100% Duty Threat, Forced Labour Rules Open New Front To protect the interest of our exporters, India engaged extensively with the UK side to mitigate the impact of the steel measure on India's exporters. Based on the consultations with stakeholders, India requested the UK for enhancing quota for India under the steel measure. After prolonged and intense discussions at all levels between the two sides, India has been able to secure robust market access and continuity for Indian exporters, the government official said. "As a result of these successful negotiations, India's total country-specific quota (CSQ) under the new framework stands elevated at 1,68,029 tonnes, seamlessly complemented by the exclusive 9.45 lakh tonnes under the Authorised Use Scheme (AUS)," an official said. To mitigate potential trade impacts and maintain equilibrium in the bilateral deal, the UK has expanded tariff-free access across critical product categories. For non-alloy and other alloy hot-rolled sheets and strips, the country-specific quota for India has been nearly tripled -- from 12,405 tonnes to 33,456 tonnes. In a major boost for Indian exporters, the UK has reserved an exclusive 40 per cent of the quota under the AUS for India, translating to about 9.45 lakh tonnes of dedicated trade volume. Also read : Indian Crude Basket Surges $8 In 10 Days: What It Means For Petrol, Diesel Prices Similarly, under category 28 (non-alloy wire), the market access has been protected by removing nine commodity codes from the scope of the measure, ensuring that 95 per cent of India's exports in this category remain entirely free of restrictions. The official added that India successfully secured expanded access in critical sub-categories, with Category 12B (non-alloy merchant bars and light sections) residual quota scaling up to 4,540 tonnes (from 468 tonnes) and Category 26 (other welded tubes) residual quota rising to 16,327 tonnes (from 10,809 tonnes).
