F1, Belgium GP 2025: McLaren's Oscar Piastri takes dominant sprint pole
Formula One leader Oscar Piastri took pole position for the Saturday sprint by nearly half a second at the Belgian Grand Prix while McLaren teammate and title rival Lando Norris qualified third. Red Bull's reigning champion Max Verstappen will join Piastri on the front row for the first race since Christian Horner was dismissed as team boss and replaced with Laurent Mekies. Piastri lapped the Spa-Francorchamps circuit with a best time of one minute 40.510 seconds, 0.477 seconds quicker than Verstappen and 0.618 clear of Norris. The Australian is eight points clear at the top after 12 of 24 rounds. Ferrari's Charles Leclerc starts fourth but teammate Lewis Hamilton will line up 18th after a difficult afternoon for the seven times world champion, whose most recent win came at the same circuit last year with Mercedes. ALSO READ | Verstappen says, Horner's exit has no impact on his future plans The Briton spun on his last flying lap while on course to go through, with the suspicion falling on a failure of the car's rear axle. George Russell, who finished first last year for Mercedes but was then disqualified for an underweight car, also struggled and qualified 13th.

India, UK mark one year of tech security initiative, unveil new plans for AI, 6G, critical minerals
London : India and the UK reaffirmed their commitment to the Technology Security Initiative (TSI) on the first anniversary of the deal, celebrating a year of transformative collaboration in frontier technologies to drive economic growth and strengthen national security, as stated in a statement issued by the UK Government on Thursday. According to the statement, the TSI, launched in 2024 when UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy visited India last year, has achieved significant milestones in telecom, artificial intelligence (AI), critical minerals, and biotechnology, highlighting partnerships among industry, academia, and government. "Both parties welcomed the Initiative's achievements to date and underscored the transformative potential of the TSI to deliver cutting-edge innovations and generate investment across the entire technology value chain," the statement read. The statement noted key milestones during the past year under the initiative, which include a GBP 7 million joint research programme on Future Telecoms, supporting Open RAN and 5G and 6G testbed development, and collaboration between India's Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT) and the UK's Smart RAN Open Network Interoperability Centre (SONIC). The first UK-India Conference on AI, held in Bengaluru in February 2025, advanced responsible AI development. Meanwhile, the Critical Minerals Supply Chain Observatory completed its first phase, with GBP 1.8 million allocated for Phase Two to establish a digital data infrastructure and a satellite campus at the Indian School of Mines in Dhanbad, as noted in the statement. Additionally, a partnership between the UK's National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) and India's Department of Biotechnology (DBT) in FEMTECH has strengthened women-orientated health technology. Looking ahead, the TSI aims to establish a UK-India joint centre for AI to promote trusted AI innovations, an India-UK Connectivity and Innovation Centre for secure 5G/6G and AI-driven telecoms, and a Critical Minerals Guild to enhance sustainable supply chains. The partnership will also explore the establishment of a UK-India Biotechnology Accelerator to advance biofoundries, bioprinting, and sustainable agriculture. Both nations will continue collaboration on graphene and 2D materials technology and expand TSI into futuristic, secure technologies. The statement also called on industry, startups, and academia to leverage TSI opportunities, emphasising its role in aligning national security priorities and fostering innovation. The initiative is also part of the India-UK Vision 2035, under which both countries will focus on future telecoms, AI, and critical minerals, laying the groundwork for future collaboration on semiconductors, quantum technology, biotechnology, and advanced materials. The India-UK Vision 2035 reaffirms both nations' shared commitment to unlocking the full potential of the revitalised partnership, which was announced following the signing of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA).

UK, Australia To Sign 50-Year Treaty To Build Nuclear Submarines
MELBOURNE, Australia: Britain and Australia announced they will sign a cooperation treaty to build Australian nuclear-powered submarines and welcomed a review by President Donald Trump's administration of the United States' role in the trilateral defense deal. Britain's Defense Secretary John Healey and Foreign Secretary David Lammy met Friday with their Australian counterparts Richard Marles and Penny Wong in Sydney for an annual bilateral meeting. Marles said he and Healey will sign a 50-year treaty Saturday that will underpin bilateral cooperation on building an Australian fleet of submarines powered by US nuclear technology. "It is as significant a treaty as has been signed between our two countries since federation," Marles said, referring to the unification of several British colonies to form the Australian government in 1901. The three-way alliance was announced in 2021 to contend with growing Chinese military might in the Asia-Pacific region. It would deliver Australia at least eight submarines including three to five second-hand US Virginia-class submarines. Britain and Australia would cooperate to build their own SSN-AUKUS submarines. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is reviewing the pact, known by the acronym AUKUS, that was entered into by US President Joe Biden's administration. There are concerns that the US won't provide Australia with its first Virginia-class submarine by the early 2030s as planned because US submarine-building was behind schedule. Marles and Healey declined to speculate on whether Britain and Australia would continue with jointly building submarines if the US pulled out when questioned at a press conference. "Australia and the U.K. welcome the review because we see this as a chance for a new administration to renew their commitment to AUKUS. And that's what we expect," Healey said. "Any sort of hypotheticals that you suggest simply aren't part of the picture," Healey added, referring to the prospect of Britain and Australia proceeding without the US The Australian government confirmed this week it had paid the US a second $500 million installment on the AUKUS deal. The first $500 million was paid in February. The submarines are expected cost Australia up to $245 billion. The meeting comes as 3,000 British military personnel take part in the largest military exercise ever conducted in Australia. More than 35,000 military personnel from 19 nations are taking part in Exercise Talisman Sabre, which began in 2005 as a biennial joint exercise between the U.S. and Australia. Marles and Healey will inspect the British aircraft HMS Prince of Wales at the northern port of Darwin on Sunday. The carrier is in Australia to take part in the war games. Lammy said the carrier's arrival in Darwin was meant to send a clear signal to the world. "With our carrier strike group docking in Darwin, I think we're sending a clear signal, a signal of the U.K.'s commitment to this region of the world. Our determination to keep the Indo-Pacific free and open, and that we stand together," he said.
