UK "Backs Down" on Apple Encryption Demands U.S. Spy Chief Confirms

In a significant turn of events, the UK has reportedly withdrawn its controversial demand that Apple create a backdoor to access encrypted iCloud data belonging to American users. U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard confirmed that the decision came after prolonged negotiations involving President Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, and UK officials. The initial demand”issued under the UKs Investigatory Powers Act”prompted a backlash from privacy advocates and led Apple to pull its Advanced Data Protection service from the UK market. While both sides view the dispute as resolved, it remains unclear whether the original technical order has been formally revoked or merely paused.

Studies reveal two distinct families: outer dark comets, larger and on elongated orbits beyond Jupiter, and the smaller inner dark comets, following tight, circular paths closer to the inner planets. Researchers suspect outgassing”yet invisible to telescopes”may explain their odd motion, hinting they could harbor hidden ice and even clues about Earth's ancient water deliveryan. Upcoming observatories like Rubin and JWST might shed light on these furtive cosmic travelers

Qantas Slapped with Historic $90m Fine for Illegal Pandemic Layoffs

In a landmark verdict, Australias Federal Court has imposed a record $90 million (US$59 million) fine on Qantas for unlawfully sacking 1,800 ground staff in 2020 amid the COVID 19 pandemic, marking the largest industrial relations penalty in the country's corporate history. Justice Michael Lee called out the airline's lack of genuine remorse criticizing its aggressive litigation, public relations tactics, and failure to present key executives in court as compelling evidence that its apologies were more about managing reputation than recognizing wrong doing. The verdict follows a separate $120 million compensation agreement reached earlier with affected employees
Of the $90 million fine, $50 million will go to the Transport Workers Union (TWU), which led the court action; the distribution of the remaining $40 million will be determined in a later hearing
TWU officials heralded the ruling as a major victory for worker rights and a powerful deterrent to corporate breaches of labor laws.

European voices are unified in urging steadfast support for Ukraine without undermining its territorial integrity.

Jellyfish Take Down Four Reactors at Frances Gravelines Nuclear Station

A massive and unpredictable swarm of jellyfish has forced the automatic shutdown of four reactors at Frances Gravelines nuclear power plant one of Western Europes largest. The gelatinous creatures clogged the filter drums in the cooling intake system, disrupting seawater flow used to cool the reactors. Though two units were already offline for scheduled maintenance, the remaining four shut down safely, with EDF confirming there was no risk to staff, the environment, or electricity exports. The shutdown underscores growing risks to coastal energy infrastructure posed by warming waters and ecological shifts that are expanding jellyfish populations. EDF teams are working to clean filters and restart operations within days.

The Hidden Internet: How Language Barriers Keep You from 80% of the Web

You're not seeing the full internet, and its not just due to algorithms. Language filters shape how you experience the web. You search, scroll, and engage in your native tongue, while platforms recommendation systems favour what you already understand. This linguistic siloing means vast digital worlds remain hidden in plain sight.

Recent research from the University of Massachusetts Amherst compared YouTube usage across English, Hindi, Russian, and Spanish communities. The findings revealed striking differences: Hindi content is far shorter, heavily reliant on Shorts, and often serves passionate niche communities rather than mass audiences. This shows the "internet" isn't uniform, but fragmented by language and culture.
