World on track to dangerous warming as emissions hit record high: UN

National commitments to slash heat-trapping pollution would limit global warming up to 2.5C this century -- nowhere near enough to avoid devastating climate impacts despite a sweep of new pledges, the UN warned Tuesday. Big polluters most responsible for the crisis have been urged to pledge faster and deeper emissions cuts to bend the curve back to 1.5C by the end of the century.

Royal Enfield Expands Line-Up With Bullet 650 And Electric Flying Flea Scrambler At EICMA

The Bullet is a name recognised by all, even by those not into motorcycles, and now there is a new addition to the legacy: the Bullet 650, showcased at EICMA. The new Bullet 650 brings this iconic name into the 650cc family. In essence, it shares much with the Classic 650, with many aspects of the motorcycle bearing close resemblance to the latter. But is it merely the same wine in a new bottle? Not quite. Design and Styling Details The styling of the Bullet 650 is distinct, featuring hand-painted pinstripes on its teardrop fuel tank and an LED headlamp complemented by pilot lamps. It retains the familiar Bullet silhouette with signature styling cues that fans will instantly recognise. The instrument cluster offers a blend of tradition and modernity, combining analogue dials with digital elements. True to Royal Enfield’s heritage, the Bullet 650 comes with wire-spoke wheels, a design choice that reinforces its classic appeal. Performance and Technical Highlights Mechanically, there are no major surprises. The bike is powered by the same 648cc parallel-twin engine producing 47hp and 52.3Nm of torque. It comes paired with a six-speed transmission and a slipper clutch, ensuring smoother gear shifts and better control. The motorcycle is built on a steel tubular frame and features Showa suspension with tube-type tyres. The Bullet 650 will be available in two colours, Cannon Black and Battleship Blue, with the Blue version confirmed for select international markets. Other Key Reveals at EICMA Royal Enfield also unveiled the 125th Anniversary Classic 650 Special Edition and the Himalayan Mana Black, a special edition of its adventure model. However, another major highlight was the Flying Flea Scrambler, an electric bike that is slated to arrive in India by the end of next year. The Flying Flea Scrambler comes equipped with a staggered 19-inch front and 18-inch rear wheel setup. On the tech front, it features a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, voice assist, 4G connectivity, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi, signalling a leap into the future for Royal Enfield’s electric ambitions.

Jim Corbett Safari Guide Banned After Tourist Alleges Misconduct In Viral Post

A tourist's account of a troubling safari experience at Jim Corbett National Park has gone viral, sparking outrage over the conduct of park guides and prompting officials to launch an inquiry. The visitor, identified as Rattan Dhillon, shared a post on X describing his guide's "bizarre and disgraceful" behaviour, from offering tobacco to tourists and littering, to napping through most of the safari. Meet our guide for the day at Jim Corbett National Park and unfortunately, this is what he had to offer: tobacco. We even had to stop him from littering by throwing the packet on the ground. After taking a long one-hour nap during the safari, he woke up only to say, “Deer meat… pic.twitter.com/0PZlkWB6Wx — Rattan Dhillon (@ShivrattanDhil1) November 3, 2025 “Meet our guide for the day at Jim Corbett National Park and unfortunately, this is what he had to offer: tobacco. We even had to stop him from littering by throwing the packet on the ground,” Dhillon wrote. Guide Slept For An Hour During Safari He added that after sleeping for nearly an hour during the safari, the guide woke up only to remark, “Deer meat tastes good.”“There was not a single word about the park, wildlife, or conservation,” Dhillon said, calling the episode “embarrassing,” especially in front of foreign tourists who were eager to learn about India’s biodiversity. Dhillon’s post, which has garnered over 2.4 million views, drew a flood of reactions from social media users. While many condemned the alleged behaviour, others said their experiences at Corbett had been positive. One user commented, "When compared to guides in Europe, Indian guides stand nowhere. They exploit tourists." Another countered, "I've been to Corbett 7-8 times and never encountered a rude or careless guide." In response to the controversy, Corbett Tiger Reserve Field Director Saket Badola said the guide had been banned pending an inquiry.“Thanks for bringing the matter to my attention. Such behaviour is not acceptable if true. An inquiry has been instituted, and the guide has been banned till the completion of the investigation. Due action will be taken based on the findings,” Badola stated. Jim Corbett National Park, India’s oldest tiger reserve, is one of the country’s most visited wildlife destinations — but the incident has reignited concerns over tourism ethics, guide training, and conservation awareness in India’s protected areas.
