High commissioner, Ruchi Ghanashyam, in her address underlined that this was a crime against humanity which India can never forget. She also stressed the close cooperation and strong commitment between India and the UK to combat terrorism.

Among the precious lives lost in the November 26 (26/11) terror attack was one British citizen and seven British citizens were injured.

Cat food brand Savage Pet recalls products due to bird flu contamination

Savage Pet has issued a recall for some of its raw chicken cat food products over concerns of bird flu (H5N1) contamination. The recall affects 66 large 84-ounce boxes and 74 small 21-ounce boxes of their product, which bear the lot code and best-by date of 15 November 2026. The cat food is packaged in distinctive cardboard boxes with handles shaped like a cat’s head and marked with a yellow outline around the company’s logo.

The contaminated products were distributed to retailers in five states: California, Colorado, New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington. The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has advised customers who purchased these products to return them to the retailer for a refund. Feeding the contaminated food to pets or donating it to shelters is not recommended due to the risk of spreading the virus.

Technology secretary Peter Kyle uses ChatGPT to formulate policy decisions, FOI request reveals

In a groundbreaking development, Peter Kyle, the UK's technology secretary, has become the first politician to have his use of ChatGPT exposed through a Freedom of Information (FOI) request. Records obtained by New Scientist reveal how Kyle has used the AI-powered chatbot for policy advice, particularly concerning the slow adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in the UK business community. This unprecedented disclosure raises questions about the transparency of politicians’ use of AI tools and whether chatbot interactions should be subject to FOI laws.

Kyle, who heads the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT), is known for his advocacy of AI as a tool for improving government efficiency. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has publicly supported this stance, stating earlier this week that AI should be widely adopted within government operations to ensure more efficient use of time and resources. However, the FOI revelations shed new light on the extent of Kyle’s personal use of AI for advice in his official capacity.
