Safest building in the world, it can't be destroyed by nuclear bomb, not White House, not Pentagon, it is..., located in..., name is...
There is tension between Iran and Israel. Recently, US has also attacked Iran's nuclear sites with its B-2 bomber. Although there has been a ceasefire between the two countries, the tension does not seem to be reducing. In such a situation, people believe that the world seems to be on the verge of a big war.
There is a lot of discussion about the Third World War in Western countries. Many people have even started preparing for how to keep themselves safe in the midst of destructive situations. In such a situation, people's attention is drawn towards which place can be safe in a situation like the Third World War and nuclear attack. There is a house in Britain which is more secure than the White House, the official residence of the US President. It is claimed that it is safe even in a nuclear attack.
What is the name of this house?
The name of this house is 'Doctor Who's mansion'. It is the only place in Britain that will remain safe even if the Third World War breaks out. With everyone worried about the possibility of a Third World War, a house has been described as the safest place in Britain in case of a nuclear holocaust.
Whose property is this?
Documents uncovered by the BBC in 2016 reveal that a mansion in the middle of the British countryside, which was once used to film Doctor Who, would be used as an escape route in case of any serious attack.
Wood Norton Hall, located in the middle of the woodsof Worcestershire, was bought by the BBC before World War II. The BBC acquired this property to act as a backup broadcasting center at a safe distance from London and other sensitive cities as a result of attacks on Britain.
It has been hardened to…
In the 1960s, the estate was converted into a hardened section capable of withstanding a nuclear attack. It was named the Protected Area Wood Norton (Wood Norton Protected Area). The building thus became one of 11 protected facilities built to continue the wartime broadcasting service in the event of a nuclear war.This means that this fort-like mansion built in the middle of Norton Forest can withstand a nuclear attack in a situation like the Third World War and from here, BBC will be able to easily broadcast its news uninterrupted.

U.K. plans to repair grounded F-35B in Kerala itself
Eleven days after the UK F-35B fighter jet made an emergency landing at Thiruvananthapuram International Airport, the British authorities on Wednesday officially responded, stating that the advanced fifth-generation jet would be repaired in Kerala. According to a statement issued by the British High Commission spokesperson, 'We are working to repair the UK F-35B at Thiruvananthapuram International Airport as quickly as possible. We thank the Indian authorities for their continued support.' According to them, the U.K. F-35B aircraft was unable to return to the HMS Prince of Wales aircraft carrier due to adverse weather conditions prevailing in the region on the night of June 14. Prioritising safety, the aircraft was then diverted to the Thiruvananthapuram airport, where it landed safely. The aircraft has subsequently developed an engineering issue whilst on the ground which precluded its return to the aircraft carrier. Engineers from HMS Prince of Wales assessed the aircraft, and it was decided that the support of a U.K.-based engineering team was needed. 'At this time, we do not have a forecast for the aircraft being repaired. To minimise disruptions to the regular airport operations, the aircraft will be moved to a space in the Maintenance Repair and Overhaul facility hangar once specialist equipment and UK engineering teams arrive,' the British authorities said. 'Throughout this diversion incident, we have worked closely with all Indian authorities, including the Indian Air Force, Indian Navy and Thiruvananthapuram International Airport, and are extremely grateful for their support. The safe landing, logistics and continuing security and organisational support provided by India in responding to this situation further demonstrate the close coordination and deepening relationship that exist between the armed forces of the U.K. and India,' they said. The advanced combat jet of the Royal Air Force of the U.K. landed at Thiruvananthapuram International Airport on June 14 due to adverse weather conditions, which has generated intense media interest and speculation. Though various agencies had been maintaining that the aircraft was running on low fuel, which forced the pilot to make a distress call, the British authorities didn't mention anything about the low fuel onboard the aircraft while making an emergency landing. The F-35 fighter jet redefines air dominance, providing an unrivalled advantage to the U.S. and its allies. A decisive force multiplier, the multi-role combat aircraft is billed as the most advanced and connected fighter jet. It is also a capable stealth aircraft that can fly undetected through contested airspace.

The forgotten Indian fighter that could have changed defence history
The forgotten Indian fighter that could have changed defence history Rajesh SharmaJairaj Singh Updated: Jun 25, 2025, 19:38 IST IST In 1961, India became the first non-Western nation to build a supersonic-capable jet. Designed with German help, the HF-24 Marut was bold, homegrown and ahead of its time, but it crashed before it could truly soar In 1961, India made global aerospace history. On a Bangalore airstrip, a silver-grey fighter jet lifted off the tarmac and soared into the sky. The aircraft was the HF-24 . The man in the cockpit was Wing Commander Suranjan Das. And the moment marked India's entry into a one-of-a-kind club. The Hindustan Fighter-24 (HF-24), designed in India and capable of supersonic speeds, was the first such aircraft to be built outside the Western world. For a country just 14 years into independence, whose industrial base was still emerging from colonial rule and exploits, it was a feat of staggering ambition.

What solution does Delhi's Central Ridge have for restoration
'I shouldn't presume that you all know what ruttputty means. Some would use it to describe the ratatat of a car, for example, or a washing machine that's on its last legs. But it is a word I grew up with. When I looked it up on Google, it cited a dictionary saying that Salman Rushdie used the word in Midnight's Children, using it to describe something that is ramshackled, rundown, or dilapidated,' says filmmaker and environmentalist Pradip Kishen. Kishen was the guest speaker for the Living Landscapes series, initiated by architect, writer and photographer Anuj Srivastava, which was started in 2024. The previous talks by experts were themed on the Aravalli Biodiversity Park, the Mehrauli Archaeological Park, the Lodhi Gardens, the India International Centre gardens, as well as the monsoon gardens of Rajasthan. On June 18, complementing Kishen's talk was a panel discussion with architect and urban designer KT Ravindran, environment and forest analyst Chetan Agarwal, moderated by Srivastava. Kishen's association with the Ridge goes back four decades. At the start of his presentation was a blue 'ruttputty' car covered with green creepers which was a dystopian analogy of the Central Ridge (C Ridge). While most of Delhi's citizens would be familiar with this woodland, the purpose of the talk was to track the degeneration over the years and the recent rehabilitation of its native ecology. The Ridge covers about 850 hectares, with half of it controlled by Delhi's forest department. Kishan spoke of William P Mustoe, the Superintendent of Horticulture Operations as part of (Edwin) Lutyens' cabinet, who designed New Delhi. It was Mustoe who proposed the invasive Neltuma Juliflora (Vilaiti keekar), an alien but sturdy tree. At the time, the question of the hour was to decide the location of the Viceroy's House. Viceroy Hardinge settled on the construction of the present-day Rashtrapati Bhavan in a stretch of land (or here, a forest) which overlooks the entire city. By 1912, as Delhi was being planned, the Ridge came to be known as an 'amenity forest'. It was, at its core, meant to resemble the countryside the British were used to and make them feel at 'home'. It got the status of a reserved forest in August 1914 and an area of 450 hectares was marked for planting. A Punjab-based forester, Richard Parker, records the resilience of the native shrubs. Kishan held the opinion that restoration using natural regeneration could have worked instead of introducing new plants such as jamun and sheesham which require moisture and deeper soil, which the C Ridge was incapable of providing. Currently, the Ridge is rife with encroachments. Kishan, though, is hopeful of transforming as was done in the Mangarbani forest, in Haryana, with the dhau. A 'habitat specialist', it is capable of growing on steep slopes, can regenerate from its own stem, and grows sideways as well, forming green carpets along a rocky terrain. During the panel discussion, Ravindran spoke of the further degradation that came with the metro construction. It led to the never-ending debate upon the tradeoff between preserving natural ecology over development. Agarwal spoke of the importance of informed opinions for restoration and revival of the now lost natural vegetation. The experts collectively felt the only recourse was judicial and citizen action complemented by protection bodies that could work towards a masterplan for the C Ridge that would be a more solution-oriented way.
