6 साल में साइबर क्राइम की 54 लाख शिकायतें:सिर्फ 2.4% मामलों में FIR; 6 साल में 78 गुना बढ़ी शिकायतें

SUMMARY
**भारत में साइबर अपराध तेजी से बढ़ रहा है। पिछले 6 सालों में साइबर क्राइम की करीब 54 लाख शिकायतें दर्ज हुईं, जो 78 गुना बढ़ी हैं। चिंताजनक बात यह है कि इनमें से सिर्फ 2.4% मामलों में ही FIR दर्ज हो पाई, यानी अधिकांश पीड़ितों को न्याय नहीं मिला। ऑनलाइन फ्रॉड, फिशिंग, UPI स्कैम, सेक्सटॉर्शन जैसे अपराध तेजी से बढ़े हैं। पुलिस के पास तकनीकी संसाधन और प्रशिक्षित स्टाफ की कमी इसकी बड़ी वजह है। सरकार को साइबर सुरक्षा मजबूत करने और जागरूकता बढ़ाने की जरूरत है।**

U.S. appeals court rejects Trump policy allowing swift deportations to third countries

SUMMARY
A U.S. federal appeals court has blocked a Trump administration policy that sought to expedite deportations of migrants to third countries, not just their home nations. The court ruled the policy violated legal protections, including due process rights, by allowing rapid removals without adequate asylum screenings. Civil rights groups challenged the measure, arguing it endangered vulnerable migrants. The ruling is a significant legal setback for Trump's hardline immigration agenda, though the administration is expected to appeal or pursue alternative enforcement strategies.

अमेरिका ने दी 100 फीसदी टैरिफ की धमकी तो भारत के साथ खड़ा हुआ चीन, दिया करारा जवाब

SUMMARY
# चीन ने अमेरिकी टैरिफ धमकी पर भारत का किया समर्थन

अमेरिकी राष्ट्रपति डोनाल्ड ट्रंप ने भारत पर 100 फीसदी टैरिफ लगाने की धमकी दी, जिसके बाद चीन ने भारत के पक्ष में बयान दिया। चीन ने कहा कि अमेरिका की एकतरफा टैरिफ नीति वैश्विक व्यापार व्यवस्था को नुकसान पहुंचाती है और यह किसी भी देश के हित में नहीं है। चीन ने विकासशील देशों की एकजुटता पर जोर देते हुए कहा कि ऐसी धमकियां अंतरराष्ट्रीय व्यापार नियमों के खिलाफ हैं। ट्रंप ने भारत पर उच्च आयात शुल्क लगाने का आरोप लगाया था। चीन का यह समर्थन अमेरिका के खिलाफ रणनीतिक कदम माना जा रहा है।

US military AI blunder: False intelligence on Chinese ship ‘almost started a war,’ report claims

SUMMARY
A US military AI system reportedly generated false intelligence suggesting a Chinese cargo ship was transporting weapons, nearly triggering a dangerous military confrontation. The AI misinterpreted satellite and sensor data, flagging the vessel as a threat. Military officials acted on the flawed intelligence before human analysts identified the error. The incident highlights growing concerns about over-reliance on AI in defense decision-making, where errors could escalate into armed conflict. Critics urge stricter human oversight of AI-driven military systems to prevent catastrophic miscalculations between nuclear powers.
