Is Washington quietly turning its back on the post–Cold War alliance system it once built and led? Reports of a proposed “Core 5” grouping—bringing together the US, Russia, China, India, and Japan—suggest a strategic rethink underway in American foreign policy. By questioning the relevance of the G7, downgrading Europe’s centrality, and favoring ad-hoc power forums over value-based alliances, the US appears to be signaling fatigue with the institutional architecture of the post-1991 order. If true, this shift marks not just a tactical adjustment but a profound reorientation—from alliance leadership to transactional great-power management—reshaping how global order itself may be negotiated…

Released in the immediate aftermath of President Donald Trump’s National Security Strategy, China’s newly issued white paper on arms control, disarmament, and nonproliferation is less a technical policy update than a strategic rebuttal to Washington’s security doctrine. Framed in the language of restraint, fairness, and stability, the document challenges US-led alliance systems, rejects American demands for trilateral arms-control negotiations, and questions the legitimacy of deterrence models rooted in military blocs. By expanding the arms-control agenda beyond nuclear weapons to include outer space, cyberspace, artificial intelligence, and emerging military technologies, Beijing signals its intent to shape the rules of 21st-century warfare…

By Javaun Moradi “Whether you pursue automations in engineering or storytelling, you will be uncomfortable and face difficult decisions.” My colleague John is a software engineer and was initially skeptical of AI. He now uses end-to-end AI automation to build software. His AI workflow retrieves issues from our ticketing system, creates an execution plan, writes the code, adds or updates automated tests, checks the code for correctness and formatting, and presents the code for his review in a pull request. John reviews the work at each step. Once he approves the pull request, that kicks off more automation, testing, then deploys…

By Joon Lee “Creators are also running into the ceiling that legacy media once hit. When you scale to cultural force levels, you need to become more serious.” For the past decade, YouTube creators have spent their time trying to look less like journalists and more like entertainers. But the next phase of YouTube’s evolution is going to flip that dynamic: journalism is about to become the backbone of the platform’s growth, prestige, and cultural relevance. The 2024 election made this shift impossible to ignore. YouTube — and the broader creator world — got hammered with criticism for the way…

A new class-action lawsuit accuses Google of illegally intercepting users’ private communications through its AI assistant Gemini, allegedly enabling covert access to emails, chats, attachments and video meeting content without explicit consent. By News Desk Google is confronting fresh scrutiny and legal hurdles after a class-action lawsuit filed in a California federal court alleged that its AI assistant, Gemini, was secretly enabled to monitor and extract data from users’ private communications across Gmail, Chat and Meet. The lawsuit accuses Google of violating one of the toughest privacy protections in the United States—the California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA), a 1967…

Europe’s political leadership is walking a tightrope between strategic ambition and strategic collapse. U.S. President Donald Trump’s new National Security Strategy warns that Europe is “teetering on the brink of irrelevance — or worse, annihilation” without a negotiated settlement in Ukraine. Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin accuses European leaders of sabotaging early peace efforts and turning Ukraine into a proxy battlefield to pursue the illusion of “strategic defeat” against Russia. Putin has warned that if “Europe all of a sudden chooses war, the response will be so rapid that there might be a situation where we have no one to negotiate with.”…

Although AI use is now widespread among U.K. journalists, they still see it as much more of a threat than an opportunity. By Neil Thurman, Sina Thasler-Kordonouri and Richard Fletcher Although a few larger surveys of how journalists use artificial intelligence have taken place, some mostly surveyed early adopters and others didn’t distinguish between current use and planned future use. So we decided to survey a representative sample of journalists — in the U.K. We asked about their and their newsrooms’ actual use of AI and how they perceived and approached it. The results were published in our recent report by the Reuters Institute for the…

By Jennifer Johnson LONDON, Dec 2 (Reuters Breakingviews) – The BBC is going through one of its periodic crises. The iconic UK broadcasting institution is at the centre of a firestorm over its impartiality, due in part to a spat over the misleading edit of a Donald Trump speech that has prompted its director-general to resign and the U.S. president to threaten a $1 billion lawsuit. But the current rumpus is merely one data point in a much wider discussion of how “the Beeb” funds its 6 billion pounds of annual costs. The real headache is that all the feasible…

By Newswriters News Desk India has struck a cautionary note on the growing risk of bioterrorism, calling it a major global concern as the world marks the 50th anniversary of the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC). Addressing the conference, S. Jaishankar warned that “disease must never be used as a weapon,” urging that biology be harnessed for peace — not harm.
