China extends strike range of Type 055 destroyer with airborne early warning system: CCTV
China's most powerful destroyer can now strike beyond visual-range targets with pinpoint precision by linking to an airborne early warning system – the same technology used by the Pakistan Air Force in the recent Kashmir conflict – according to state broadcaster CCTV. On Sunday, CCTV confirmed for the first time that the Type 055 stealth guided-missile destroyer Lhasa could use data links to synchronise with People's Liberation Army's airborne early warning platforms, enabling it to conduct long-range anti-ship and air-defence strikes without relying solely on the ship's radars. Song Zhongping, a former PLA instructor and military commentator, said this represented a major advance in operational coordination. 02:29 Chinese nationalism surges across social media as viral video mocks downed Indian jets Chinese nationalism surges across social media as viral video mocks downed Indian jets 'Battlefield data fusion – what we call 'situation connectivity' – means complete interoperability and seamless information sharing across domains,' he said. CCTV footage showed the Lhasa taking part in a live-fire exercise involving multi-service coordination under the PLA's Northern Theatre Command, firing missiles guided by airborne targeting cues. Shipborne helicopters and sensors fed data into the combat centre for simultaneous sea‑and‑air engagements, the report said. 'We used data links to share battlefield awareness in real time with the early warning aircraft, significantly expanding our detection range,' Wang Mingwei, a senior sergeant on the Lhasa, told CCTV. 'It allows us to identify both air and sea threats far beyond visual range.' Song said the networked capability mirrored Pakistan's use of the same Chinese technology to shoot down Indian fighters near the disputed Kashmir region.

Mumbai man given 4 months rigorous imprisonment after pet dog bites neighbour in lift
Representative image MUMBAI: A 40-year-old man from Worli has been sentenced to four months of rigorous imprisonment after his pet husky bit his neighbour inside an apartment lift. The man, Rishab Patel, was convicted on charges of voluntarily causing hurt and negligent conduct with an animal. Judicial magistrate Suhas Bhosale, while delivering the verdict, said he would not show Patel "too much leniency". Referring to CCTV footage, the judge noted, "The way in which the accused dragged his pet inside lift shows he is not compassionate towards his own pet. He did not care about the informant, his son and dragged his own pet inside the lift... the act... resulted in injury." The victim, Ramik Shah, a resident of Alfa Apartment in Worli, was heading down from the fourth floor with his one-and-a-half-year-old son and domestic help. When the lift stopped at the third floor, Patel was standing with his dog. Shah said he requested Patel to wait, explaining that his son was cynophobic (afraid of dogs). However, Patel allegedly ignored the request and did not even allow them to exit. Instead, he dragged his dog into the lift, which bit Shah on his left forearm. After the incident, Shah, his son, and the help exited the lift, but Patel allegedly followed them and challenged Shah to "do whatever he wanted." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Jlo's Daughter Steals The Show With Her Mom's Iconic Green Dress CleverClassic Undo Shah later sought medical treatment and filed a police complaint. During the trial, the prosecution presented oral evidence from the victim, Ramik Shah, and his domestic help, Anuj Singh, who confirmed Patel had forcibly entered the lift with the dog despite repeated requests. The defence pointed to inconsistencies, including a delay in medical treatment and the initial absence of administration of anti-rabies vaccine for the victim. However, the magistrate found the testimonies of both Shah and Singh consistent and credible. "Only because the witness is servant of the first informant we cannot brush aside his evidence if it is otherwise trustworthy," he ruled. Holding Patel's actions as "voluntary," the court fined him Rs 4,000 in addition to sentencing him to jail.

Watch: China stages first robot kickboxing match
Credit: CCTV/Reuters Chinese-built humanoid robots have shown off their ability to throw punches and dodge right hooks at the world's first robotic kickboxing tournament. The fighting wasn't sophisticated or particularly aggressive, often appearing more like a ballet than a boxing match, but it marked a new milestone in the global race to build an ever more realistic humanoid robot. Four fighting robots, which boxed one-on-one and in teams and were controlled remotely by ringside humans, competed in the China Media Group World Robot Competition on Sunday. The tournament was held in Hangzhou, east China, and was broadcast by Chinese state news, which boasted of the AI-enabled robots being equipped with only domestically produced technologies. 'I believe this is a moment where history shakes hands with the future. We are witnessing history,' the host of the event said. The company behind the G1 bipedal model is Unitree Robotics, a prominent Chinese company often making headlines with its flashy humanoid performances. Its flagship robot had a starring role dancing in the televised Chinese New Year's Eve gala in January. In February, the company started showcasing videos of the model performing martial arts moves, including the spin kick. By April, the robot was seen fighting with humans and easily getting back up after being knocked down. 'The robots fight in a human-machine collaborative way,' Chen Xiyun, a representative of Unitree Robotics, told the Global Times. Each robot weighs only 35kg and is 4.3ft tall – the average height of an eight-year-old child. They can carry up to 3kg, move at 5mph and are equipped with motion control, a 360 degree depth camera and AI decision-making capabilities. The G1 sells for £12,000. Credit: YouTube/Unitree Robotics According to state media, the purpose of the competition was to train the humanoids to 'learn from experience'. In each round, the robots initially struggled to work out where the opponent was, launching aimless punches as menacing blue-lit eyes peered out from their protective headgear. The robots improved quickly, delivering stronger blows, downing opponents with front push kicks, contorting their bodies into splits, and twisting and turning with significant agility. Recent advances in AI software and hardware design have brought highly advanced fighting humanoid robots far closer to reality. Elon Musk's company Tesla is developing its own humanoid called Optimus. In January, the billionaire said that 'several thousand' will be built this year to help do 'useful things' in the car company's factories. However, China's two leading robot manufacturers, Unitree and Agibot, are producing increasingly cheap yet advanced humanoids, designed to be used in everyday life, giving Beijing an early push for dominance in the market. Credit: Reuters and CCTV The Chinese humanoids have been seen running half-marathons, assisting in medical procedures, and solving Rubik's Cubes. According to the Chinese Institute of Electronics, China's humanoid robot market is projected to reach 870 billion yuan (£89 billion) by 2030. Beijing has also since set up a dedicated robotics venture fund worth more than £100 billion, in the hope that the robots could help plug gaps in China's ageing labour market.

Hunt for missing 19-year-old who vanished following house party more than three weeks ago - after asking a schoolfriend for a lift
The hunt for a teenager who went missing after a house party three weeks ago has begun. Cole Cooper, 19, was last seen at about 8.45pm on May 7, having requested a lift from a schoolfriend in the Longcroft area of Falkirk, Scotland, and was reported missing by his family two days later. The friend said there were no concerns about Mr Cooper's welfare on May 7 and that he was not given a lift, police said. He had last been seen by his family on May 2 or 3 and was captured on CCTV at about 6am on May 4 in the village, when he tried to access his father's house unsuccessfully. The missing man is described as about 5ft 10ins, of medium build with brown short hair, and was last seen wearing a black puffer-style jacket with black jogging bottoms. Detectives said the investigation was being treated as a missing person's inquiry rather than a criminal probe. A major search has involved helicopters, divers, digital and financial investigators, as well as examination of 1,000 hours of CCTV and door-to-door inquiries at more than 220 homes. Chief Inspector Alex Hatrick, local area commander, said: 'Cole was reported missing on May 9 and was last seen by his family on May 2 or 3. CCTV footage of Cole, who was last seen at around 5.50am on May 4 'There was a further sighting on CCTV on May 4, of Cole, around 6am. Since that CCTV, a witness has come forward reporting speaking to Cole about 8.45pm on May 7. He didn't get a lift.' Mr Hatrick said that the inquiry was probing digital media but was primarily focused on the last sightings. He added: 'At that time, the friend didn't have any concerns for Cole's wellbeing. He just said he was looking to go to his local area. 'From the witness account, he didn't have any concerns at that time. The witness said that Cole asked for a lift and went on his way. 'Concerns are growing for Cole's welfare, this is completely out of character. There's nothing to suggest he has come to harm. It very much remains a missing persons investigation. 'His family are deeply devastated, they want answers relating to what has happened to Cole. There's no evidence of any criminality at this stage.' He urged Mr Cooper to get in touch with police and said he had 'nothing to fear'. Mr Hatrick added: 'There's no indication that Cole was a risk to himself or likely to come to harm.' The search is primarily focused on Falkirk, but Mr Cooper also has links to Paisley, Denny and Cumbernauld. A major incident portal has been set up for the public to share footage with investigating officers. In a message to the missing man, Mr Hatrick said: 'Cole, I would very much encourage you to get in touch with your family. 'You have got nothing to fear about getting in touch. We just want to find you safe and well.' Anyone who has any information can contact officers on either 101 quoting incident number 828 of Friday May 9. It comes after it was revealed that drones are being drafted in to help with the search of the missing teenager. In a heartfelt plea last week, his mother Wendy Stewart begged her son to 'come home' as drone operators were urged to apply for permission to fly in Cumbernauld Airport's flight restriction zone so they can widen the search. A social media page set up by the family to provide updates about the hunt for the 19-year-old asks for drone owners to get in touch with the airport so they could search between Longcroft and Banknock. Ms Stewart, meanwhile, begged her son to 'please come home'. She said: 'I love and miss you so so so much. Where are you son? My heart is breaking I just want a big cuddle from you son.' The worried mother also posted a touching video of Mr Cooper singing into a microphone and dancing with her, with the caption 'Please help get my gorgeous, kind loving boy back to me'.
