Death toll in Thailand rises to 14 in border clashes with Cambodia: Official
Fourteen Thai people were killed and 46 others injured in military clashes near the Thailand-Cambodia border, the deputy spokesperson of the Ministry of Public Health said. Cambodia had not released any information on its casualties as of Thursday evening, Xinhua news agency reported. In Bangkok, Public Health Minister Somsak Thepsuthin confirmed 14 deaths, including 13 civilians and one soldier, along with 46 injuries. He condemned what he described as Cambodian attacks on civilians and a hospital: "We urge the Cambodian government to immediately halt these war criminal actions, and return to respecting the principles of peaceful coexistence." The violence followed a landmine blast on Wednesday that wounded five Thai soldiers -- an incident that triggered the expulsion of ambassadors by both sides and a sharp diplomatic fallout. Thai officials accused Cambodia of laying new Russian-made mines, while Cambodia dismissed the claims as "baseless accusations", blaming leftover ordnance from past conflicts. On Thursday, clashes flared in at least six areas along the border, including near the ancient Ta Muen Thom temple. Thai F-16 fighter jets conducted airstrikes in response to what the government said were Cambodian truck-mounted rockets. "It was an act of self-defence," Thai Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Nikorndej Balankura said. The situation escalated following skirmishes that began Thursday morning. Each of the two sides blamed the other side for violating international law. Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet urged the UN Security Council to convene an urgent meeting to discuss the matter. Cambodia's Defence Ministry claimed the airstrikes hit a road near Preah Vihear, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and vowed legal action. "The temple was declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO... and is a 'historical legacy of the Cambodian people,'" Cambodia's Culture Ministry said. Defense Ministry spokesperson Lieutenant General Maly Socheata said Cambodia had "no choice but to defend its territory against Thai threats," insisting the attacks were "focused on the military places, not on any other place". The conflict drew swift international concern. United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged both sides "to exercise maximum restraint and address any issues through dialogue," according to deputy spokesperson Farhan Haq. Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet requested an emergency session, which was held behind closed doors in New York on Friday. Thailand sealed all land border crossings and advised its citizens to leave Cambodia. All seven Thai airlines offered to help repatriate Thai nationals. Meanwhile, the conflict has added pressure to Thailand's domestic politics. Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra was suspended on July 1 amid an ethics probe linked to her handling of a phone call with Cambodia's former leader Hun Sen. Thailand's acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai is now leading the response, warning Cambodia against further aggression.

Why Donald Trump doesn't want Google, Microsoft to hire Indians
US President Donald Trump has told major tech companies like Google, Microsoft and Apple to stop hiring foreign workers, including from India, and focus instead on creating jobs in the United at an AI Summit in Washington on Wednesday, Trump said American companies must now put national interest first, especially in the fast-growing field of artificial said that top US technology firms have made huge profits while setting up operations in countries like China and hiring large numbers of employees in argued that this has come at the cost of American workers. 'Many of our largest tech companies have reaped the blessings of American freedom while building their factories in China, hiring workers in India and stashing profits in Ireland,' Trump said during the event. 'Under President Trump, those days are over.'He said the mindset of these firms had become too global and called for a new 'spirit of patriotism and national loyalty' in Silicon Valley and across the American tech industry. 'We want you to put America first. That's all we ask,' he also used the event to announce three new executive orders aimed at boosting the US's AI industry. One of the orders lays out a national plan to fast-track AI development by easing regulations and encouraging companies to build data centres and other key infrastructure inside the US. The strategy is called 'Winning the Race' and is focused on helping the US lead in AI second order puts new rules on companies that receive federal funds to build AI tools. These companies must now ensure that the tools they develop are politically neutral. Trump said his administration would not support what he called 'woke' AI systems and blamed previous policies that focused on diversity and inclusion for slowing down progress in technology.'We are getting rid of woke,' he said. 'AI must be accurate and not influenced by ideology.' The new rules will also apply to government agencies that use AI tools, and these systems must not be biased or driven by political also questioned the use of the term 'artificial intelligence,' saying he prefers a term that better reflects its power.

India-UK trade pact — a template for deals with America and Europ
On Thursday, India and the UK signed the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement that has been many years in the making. Leaders of both countries exuded confidence that the agreement would open up markets and bring enormous benefits to their countries. The goal is to double bilateral trade between the nations from roughly $56 billion now. The signing of the deal was accompanied by the unveiling of the UK-India Vision 2035 — which envisages greater engagement in areas such as defence, tech and education, indicating a desire to deepen the relationship between the two countries. Through this trade agreement, said to be one of the most comprehensive deals that Delhi has entered into, India has indicated its willingness to bring down its tariffs substantially as it seeks to integrate more closely with developed countries and encourage more investment into the country. Delhi's high tariff walls have been criticised by others, including the US. The Office of the United States Trade Representative had recently noted that India's average applied tariff rate was 17 per cent, while that on agricultural products was even higher at 39 per cent. As per reports, under this new deal, the average tariffs on British products will fall from 15 per cent to 3 per cent, which could potentially lead to a large increase in UK exports. On the other hand, the agreement paves the way for 'unprecedented duty free access for 99 per cent of India's exports to the UK', covering almost the entire trade basket. This includes labour intensive segments such as textiles, leather, footwear and gems and jewellery, as well as sectors like engineering goods and auto components. Alongside, India has secured significant commitments on services and labour mobility. The agreement increases market access in critical areas such as IT and IT-enabled services as well as financial, legal, professional and educational services. The double contribution convention agreement will help Indian professionals and their employers avoid making social security payments in the UK, thereby bringing down the costs of doing business. The India-UK deal comes at a time when the global trading architecture has been upended by US President Donald Trump's tariff policies. Trump has over the past few days announced new deals with countries such as Japan, the Philippines and Indonesia, after similar agreements with Britain and Vietnam, with the tariffs ranging between 10 and 20 per cent. In the case of India, even as talks continue, a deal remains elusive. India is also negotiating a deal with the EU — as this paper has reported, the two sides have agreed to seven out of 23 chapters in the agreement. The deal with the UK could serve as a template for some of the issues, especially the more contentious ones. Delhi must press ahead with these trade agreements as it seeks to integrate with global supply chains more closely.
