India denies it was pressured into ending conflict with Pakistan
KOCHI — India's defencs ministry has rejected US President Donald Trump's claim of ending its conflict with Pakistan in May, saying the country had not responded to pressure from anyone.Rajnath Singh was speaking at the opening of a parliamentary debate on the 22 April attack in Pahalgam, in Indian-administered Kashmir, which claimed the lives of 26 tourists.India blamed Pakistan for the attack - which it denied - and launched a series of strikes, named "Operation Sindoor", on its neighbour, leading to four days of intense military action from both sides.Trump has frequently claimed that the ceasefire between the two nuclear-armed neighbours was brokered by the US - which India has denied.On Monday, Singh reiterated that it was "completely incorrect and baseless to...

China offers parents $1,500 in bid to boost births
SINGAPORE — Parents in China are being offered 3,600 yuan (£375; $500) a year for each of their children under the age of three in the government's first nationwide subsidy aimed at boosting birth rates.The country's birth rate has been falling even since the ruling Communist Party abolished its controversial one-child policy almost a decade ago.The handouts will help around 20 million families with the cost of raising children, according to state media.Several provinces across China have piloted some form of pay outs to encourage people to have more children as the world's second largest economy faces a looming demographic crisis.The scheme, which was announced on Monday, will offer parents a total of up to 10,800 yuan per child.The policy will be applied retroactively from...

India's AI-driven tech firings could derail middle class dreams
MUMBAI — India's showpiece software industry is facing a moment of reckoning.The country's biggest private sector employer Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), also its largest IT services company, has announced it will cut more than 12,000 jobs at middle and senior management levels. This will reduce the firm's workforce by 2%.The Mumbai-headquartered software behemoth employs over half-a-million IT workers and is considered a bellwether for business sentiment across India's $283bn software industry. It forms the backbone of formal, white-collar employment in the country.The decision, TCS says, was taken to make the company "future ready" as it invests in new areas and deploys artificial intelligence at scale amid seismic disruptions in its traditional business...

Police officer among four dead in shooting at New York City office building
NEW YORK — A New York City police officer is among four people killed in a shooting inside a Midtown Manhattan high-rise.Police said the gunman walked into the office building on Monday evening with an MR rifle in clear view before spraying bullets in the lobby and on an upper floor. He then took his own life.The shooting, in the center of the most populous US city, sent pedestrians running for cover as police warned of an active gunman around 1830 ET. Those inside the building cowered as gunfire echoed - some even piling couches and chairs against doors as they hid in offices.Police say the suspect, Shane Devon Tamura, 27, travelled from Las Vegas but a motive is unclear.Among those killed was New York City officer Didarul Islam, who was working security at the building at the time of...
