Banality of evil: German nurse kills 10 patients - to reduce workload

The court in Aachen called it a crime of “particular severity of guilt,” ensuring he will never walk free again. But what’s truly chilling is not just the scale of his actions — it’s their ordinariness. A man trained since 2007 to heal became, by 2024, an executioner in scrubs, armed not with malice but with indifference.

Maharashta Jeweller Held For Rs 2.5 Crore Loan Scam, Deposited Fake Gold In Bank

The Beed Police have arrested a goldsmith who allegedly defrauded the Bank of Baroda by depositing fake gold and silver under a gold loan scheme. The accused, identified as Vilas Udavant, was traced and arrested from Pune, where he had been operating under a new identity. Accused Created 16 Fake Customers To Dupe Bank According to the Beed City Police, Udavant, who ran a jewellery shop named Vilas Jewellers in Beed, devised an elaborate plan to make quick money. He allegedly created 16 fake customer profiles and used counterfeit gold to obtain loans from the Bank of Baroda. As a certified gold tester, Udavant was able to authenticate the fake gold himself, misleading the bank into believing it was genuine. He also duped common investors by displaying inflated quantities of gold to gain their trust. In just two months, he managed to accumulate Rs 2.5 crore, before selling his property in Beed and fleeing the city. Arrest Made Through Mobile Tracking A case was registered against Udavant at the Beed City Police Station, prompting an intensive search. Investigators later discovered that he had been running a new shop under the name Venkatesh Jewellers in Dehu village, Pune. Using his mobile phone location, the police tracked him down and made the arrest. During the operation, authorities seized 18 kg of gold and silver from his possession. Police Warn Against Similar Schemes Police officials said Udavant misused the gold loan scheme for personal gain and also defrauded unsuspecting individuals. Citizens have been cautioned against falling prey to such fraudulent offers, while banks have been advised to ensure that gold appraisal and testing are conducted by authorised and verified personnel.

Elon Musk's Starlink Is Coming To Maharashtra: Here's How The Partnership Will Unfold

Starlink is preparing to launch its satellite internet services in India soon. The company has signed a Letter of Intent (LoI) with the Maharashtra government. The announcement was shared by the state’s Chief Minister, Devendra Fadnavis. Starlink is currently waiting for final regulatory approvals from the Government of India.  Once cleared, it will join companies like Eutelsat, OneWeb and Jio SES in offering high-speed internet through satellites. This collaboration aims to bring the internet to remote regions in Maharashtra where fibre networks are still not available. Starlink & Maharashtra LoI Details The LoI signed between Starlink and the Maharashtra government shows that the company is serious about entering the Indian market. The LoI was signed on Wednesday, and Starlink’s Vice President, Lauren Dreyer, was present in Mumbai for the announcement.  The purpose of this partnership is to provide connectivity to areas that are currently called “dark” zones, regions with little to no internet access due to a lack of fibre infrastructure. Once regulatory approvals and licenses are completed, the rollout will begin. This project supports the Digital India vision, where every citizen should have access to reliable internet.  The collaboration aims to connect villages, remote towns, and difficult terrains where traditional broadband networks have not reached.  This move could help schools, healthcare centres, businesses, and local communities communicate and grow better. Deep Look Into Starlink & Maharashtra Partnership According to the plan, Starlink will focus strongly on the B2B (business-to-business) side. This means it will provide services to government departments, institutions, companies, and large networks that need dependable high-speed internet.  However, Starlink will also work on the B2C (business to consumer) market, which means regular households may also get access in the future. How the pricing will work in India is still unclear. In some neighbouring countries, Starlink connections are considered expensive, so it remains to be seen whether the cost will be affordable in India.  For now, the partnership signals a strong step toward improving digital connectivity in Maharashtra. If successful, it can help bridge the digital divide and provide stable internet to regions that were previously left behind.

Trump To Skip G20 Summit, Says South Africa ‘Shouldn’t Be In The Gs Anymore’

New York: US President Donald Trump has said he will not attend the G20 Summit to be held in South Africa later this month, questioning the country's membership in the grouping of major economies. South Africa, which assumed the year-long G20 Presidency on December 1, 2024, will host the Summit in Johannesburg from November 22 to 23, the first time the meeting of G20 leaders will be held on African soil. “I am not going. We have a G20 meeting in South Africa. South Africa shouldn't even be in the Gs anymore because what's happened there is bad. I'm not going. I told them I'm not going. I'm not going to represent our country there. It shouldn't be there,” Trump said while addressing the America Business Forum Miami in Florida on Wednesday. The US will take over the G20 Presidency from South Africa on December 1, 2025, and will chair the grouping until November 30, 2026. Trump has previously said he plans to host the 2026 G20 Summit at his golf club near Miami. India held the G20 Presidency from December 2022 to November 2023 and hosted the 18th G20 Summit in New Delhi in September 2023, which was attended by then US President Joe Biden. The G20 comprises 19 countries: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkiye, the UK, and the US as well as the European Union and the African Union. It was under India's G20 Presidency that the African Union was inducted as a permanent member of the grouping. In his remarks, Trump also criticised “communist” New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, and said Miami has long been a haven for people fleeing communist tyranny in South Africa.  (This report has been published as part of the auto-generated syndicate wire feed.

February 2026 To Witness The First Eclipse Of The Year: Here's What You Should Know

Speculations have been circulating about a possible eclipse in January 2026. However, astronomers have clarified that no solar or lunar eclipse will occur at the beginning of the year. Instead, the first eclipse of 2026 will take place in February, marking the start of a series of fascinating celestial events. Four Eclipses To Occur In 2026 According to astronomers and astrologers, four eclipses will be visible in 2026, two solar and two lunar. February 17, 2026: Annular Solar Eclipse:The year’s first eclipse will be an Annular Solar Eclipse, during which a bright ring of fire will appear around the Sun. It will be partially visible in India and fully visible in certain other parts of the world. March 3, 2026: Total Lunar Eclipse:A Total Lunar Eclipse will occur on this date and will be visible across India and several parts of Asia. The Sutak period (a time of ritual observance in Hindu tradition) will be observed during this event. August 12, 2026: Solar Eclipse on Hariyali Amavasya:The second Solar Eclipse of the year will coincide with Hariyali Amavasya. It is expected to be the most talked-about eclipse of 2026 — fully visible in the United States and Europe, and partially visible in India. August 28, 2026: Partial Lunar Eclipse:The final eclipse of the year will be a Partial Lunar Eclipse, during which only a part of the Moon will fall under Earth’s shadow. It will also be visible from India. No Eclipse In January 2026 Despite widespread rumors, there will be no eclipse in January 2026, and therefore, no Sutak period will apply. As per the Hindu Panchang, an eclipse occurs only when the Sun, Moon, and Earth align in a straight line, and the Moon passes through the Rahu or Ketu nodal points. This astronomical alignment will not occur in January 2026, dismissing all speculations. Astrological Significance Of The Eclipse In Vedic astrology, the first eclipse of the year is considered a precursor to major global and personal developments. The February 2026 Annular Solar Eclipse will take place along the Leo-Aquarius axis, influenced by Aquarius solar energy. Astrologers suggest it could bring notable changes in politics, technology, and financial sectors. Individuals belonging to Aries, Gemini, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius zodiac signs are advised to worship Lord Shiva to mitigate any potential negative effects.
