Breaking news is a term used to describe timely and significant events that are typically unexpected or unforeseen. These events often have a major impact on people's lives and can be either positive or negative in nature. Breaking news stories are typically covered by the mainstream media as they unfold, giving the public access to information in real-time. While breaking news can refer to any type of event, it is most commonly used in relation to catastrophic events such as natural disasters, terrorist attacks, or political disasters. In these situations, the need for accurate and up-to-the-minute information is paramount. Traditional news outlets such as television, radio, and print media are typically the first to report on breaking news stories as they happen. However, in recent years social media has become an increasingly important source of information for people looking for the latest updates on current events.

Tamil Nadu: DMK MP Tiruchi Siva inaugurates Ex-Central Armed Police Forces Welfare Canteen in Trichy

Rajya Sabha MP and Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) Deputy General Secretary, Tiruchi Siva, inaugurated the Ex-Central Armed Police Forces Welfare Canteen at Karumandapam, Tiruchirappalli in Tamil Nadu by lighting the traditional lamp. The initiative, launched by the Ex-Central Armed Police Forces and Paramilitary Association, aims to extend canteen facilities not only to former paramilitary personnel but also to the general public. The outlet will offer up to 45 per cent discounts on groceries, household goods, and electrical appliances. According to the website of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), the Ministry of Home Affairs has established the Central Police Canteen (CPC) System to provide welfare benefits to serving and retired personnel of the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs), including the Border Security Force (BSF), CRPF, Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) and Assam Rifles (AF). This system, which came into existence on September 26, 2006, consists of 126 Master Canteens that serve as distribution centres and 1,042 Subsidiary Canteens that sell products to CAPF troops and their families. In addition to everyday items, the CPC has also registered two-wheeler and four-wheeler firms to provide vehicles to its troops at discounted rates. The Central Police Canteen facilities have also been extended to personnel of various departments under the Ministry of Home Affairs, other central security agencies like the Railway Protection Force (RPF), Intelligence Bureau (IB), Special Protection Group (SPG), National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), National Investigation Agency (NIA), and all State Police Organizations, CRPF website said. Meanwhile, in Tamil Nadu, Finance Minister Thangam Thennarasu's remarks alleging the Centre's political vendetta against the State have sparked a row as he slammed the Union Government for deliberately denying the state of its rightful share of funds. The FM highlighted that Tamil Nadu was entitled to Rs. 4,000 crores, but the Union Government released only Rs. 450 crores, meant for the Right to Education. He highlighted the concern over clean drinking water, stating that the drinking water projects under the Jal Jeevan mission were also affected, as Rs. 3,407 crores are still pending from the Union Government.

Satwik-Chirag's Denmark Open run ends after semi-final loss to Japan's Hoki-Kobayashi

The Indian men's doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty bowed out of the ongoing Denmark Open 2025 tournament after losing their semi-final clash here on Saturday. Satwik-Chirag fought hard but lost 23-21, 18-21, 21-16 to Takuro Hoki and Yugo Kobayashi of Japan at the Jyske Bank Arena in 68 minutes, according to Olympics.com. This was the Indian duo's sixth semi-final defeat on the BWF World Tour this season. SatChi had made top-four exits at the China, Singapore, India, and Malaysia Opens, as well as the BWF World Championships, earlier. The Indian badminton players, however, did make back-to-back finals at the Hong Kong Open and the China Masters last month. Takuro Hoki and Yugo Kobayashi, the 2021 men's doubles world champions and 2019 silver medallists, started off well and raced to an 11-6 lead in the opening game. However, Satwik and Chirag, who are currently sixth in the badminton rankings, fought back to level the score at 20-all but couldn't see the fightback through, as the world No. 10 Japanese duo held their nerve to take the lead. The Indians came back swinging in the all-or-nothing second game and led by four points at the midway stage. Takuro Hoki and Yugo Kobayashi, who beat 2025 World Championships silver medallists Chen Bo Yang and Liu Yi of the People's Republic of China in the quarter-finals, put on a sterner front after the restart but couldn't stop the Indians from drawing level. With survival on the line at the BWF Super 750 tournament, both teams started the decider with high intensity and matched each other rally for rally, according to Olympics.com. A sequence of four successive points saw the Indians lead by a solitary point at the break, but it was the Japanese duo who seized the initiative after the restart and ensured their second win over the Indian duo in six meetings. The Japanese team's only head-to-head victory over the Indians before Saturday came at the 2019 Hong Kong Open. This was the sixth meeting between the two pairs but the first since the 2023 Korea Open. Satwik and Chirag last won a title on the BWF World Tour event at the Thailand Open in 2024. The duo's exit also brought India's campaign at the Denmark Open to an end. Paris 2024 Olympics semi-finalist Lakshya Sen was knocked out after losing to world No. 7 Alex Lanier of France in his men's singles quarter-final match on Friday. Ayush Shetty remains the only Indian badminton player to win a title on the BWF World Tour this year, courtesy of his US Open triumph. (ANI)

LDP chief Takaichi set to become Japan's first woman PM as coalition deal struck with JIP

Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and the opposition Japan Innovation Party (JIP) have reached a de facto agreement to form a coalition, Kyodo News reported, citing senior officials from both parties on Saturday (local time). The deal would see the JIP supporting the LDP from outside the Cabinet. According to Kyodo News, the newly elected LDP leader, Sanae Takaichi, and JIP chief, Hirofumi Yoshimura, are expected to sign the coalition pact officially on Monday. This political development comes in the wake of the long-time coalition partner of the LDP, the Komeito party's recent decision to end its 26-year alliance, signalling a major shift in Japan's political dynamics. Takaichi, who was elected LDP president on October 4, is expected to secure the prime ministership in Tuesday's parliamentary vote, with the JIP pledging to support her. If elected, she would become Japan's first woman prime minister, Kyodo News reported. However, even with the JIP's backing, the LDP-led coalition would still fall short of an outright majority in the 465-member House of Representatives, with their combined seats totalling 231, just shy of the 233 needed for a majority. Following Komeito's exit, Takaichi and Yoshimura, who also serves as the governor of Osaka, agreed earlier in the week to begin coalition discussions. On Friday, senior members from both parties agreed to key policy concessions, including a proposed reduction of the consumption tax on food to zero and a ban on corporate and organisational donations, as reported by Kyodo News. Another major concession from the LDP was the acceptance of JIP's demand to reduce the number of seats in Japan's National Diet, consisting of the House of Representatives and the House of Councillors, which Yoshimura had described as a nonnegotiable condition for cooperation, Kyodo News reported. The two parties plan to introduce related legislation during the upcoming extraordinary Diet session starting Tuesday. At their initial policy meeting, Takaichi invited the JIP to formally join the Cabinet, but the party declined, choosing instead to support from the outside while observing how their policy proposals are implemented. A joint consultative body will be established to coordinate between the two sides on policy matters. Yoshimura emphasised that the JIP's participation is focused on achieving real policy outcomes rather than pursuing Cabinet positions. The party will be included in pre-legislative discussions on government bills. On the key issue of consumption tax cuts on food, both sides agreed to continue negotiations. They also set a target to eliminate corporate and organisational donations by September 2027, coinciding with the end of Takaichi's current term as LDP president, as reported by Kyodo News. Final approval of the coalition deal from the JIP is expected following internal discussions, including an executive meeting in Osaka on Sunday and a plenary session of its lawmakers on Monday. Currently, the LDP holds 196 seats in the lower house, while the JIP has 35. The main opposition Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan (CDPJ) has 148, and Komeito holds 24. The CDPJ plans to nominate its leader, former Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda, for the premiership, but Takaichi is expected to win with the support of her own party and allied votes. Komeito's split from the LDP came amid tensions over a political funds scandal and concerns over the party's declining support base, which is tied to the lay Buddhist organisation Soka Gakkai. Separately, Democratic Party for the People (DPP) leader Yuichiro Tamaki, whose party controls 27 seats, expressed openness to working with Takaichi where policy priorities align. (ANI)
