Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has accused Quad nations — the US, Japan, and Australia — of dragging India into a de facto military alliance, despite Delhi’s stated focus on economic ties. Speaking at a Eurasian security forum, Lavrov warned of coordinated naval drills aimed at militarizing Quad beyond its original scope. He also pushed to revive the dormant Russia-India-China (RIC) trilateral platform, asserting that Western powers are deliberately stoking Indo-China tensions by reframing the region as "Indo-Pacific" with anti-China goals. His remarks signal Moscow’s shifting strategic focus in Asia.

At the Shangri-La Dialogue, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth declared that China would not dare invade Taiwan while Donald Trump remains in office, warning that Beijing poses a real and possibly imminent threat. Hegseth urged Asian allies to increase defense spending and prepare for a potential regional conflict. He affirmed Trump’s Indo-Pacific focus and emphasized consequences for any Chinese aggression. With China skipping the summit, Hegseth’s comments take on sharper geopolitical meaning, signaling America’s hard stance and strategic pivot toward Asia’s growing security challenges.

Sir Keir Starmer says a stabilised economy has allowed the government to reinstate most winter fuel payments. Nine million pensioners in England and Wales will now receive support this winter after a £1.25bn U-turn. The Prime Minister denied the move was a response to backlash, insisting it followed a reassessment of the country’s financial position. Report by Covellm.

Emperor penguins, the largest of their kind, are facing a growing threat as shrinking sea ice puts their future at risk. The birds rely on stable ice for up to eight months to raise their chicks, but as the Southern Ocean warms, that vital platform is melting too quickly. Scientists are alarmed by satellite data, which shows a sharp decline in colony numbers, with some areas disappearing twice as fast as predicted just seven years ago. Storms, changing weather and predators like orca whales are also contributing to their decline. Report by Covellm.
