David Eby calling Lapu Lapu suspect a ‘murderer’ concerns law society
** B.C. Attorney General David Eby referred to the suspect in the Lapu Lapu case as a "murderer" in the legislature, prompting concern from the law society over potential prejudicial language.
Editor’s Note: ** Eby's remarks highlight tensions between political rhetoric and legal impartiality, as public officials risk influencing public perception before a trial. This raises broader concerns about due process and fair trials in high-profile cases.

India projected to accelerate solar power generation as storage costs fall
positiveWorld Affairs
India’s push toward clean energy just got a major lift—solar power, combined with battery storage, is now cheaper than coal for businesses. A new study shows the cost has dropped to just 6 rupees (7 cents) per kilowatt-hour, and it’s expected to stay that low for decades. This could speed up the country’s shift to renewables, especially solar, as costs keep falling.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about saving money—it’s a game-changer for India’s energy future. Cheaper solar and storage mean businesses have less reason to rely on polluting coal, which could help cut emissions and boost energy independence. For a country balancing rapid growth with climate goals, this is a big step forward.
Winter fuel payment U-turn in place this year, says chancellor
neutralWorld Affairs
The UK government has backtracked on plans to cut winter fuel payments, with Chancellor Rachel Reeves confirming more people will receive the support "this winter." However, there's still confusion about exactly who qualifies—leaving many households in the dark about whether they'll get help with heating costs.
Editor’s Note: With energy bills still painfully high, this decision could be a lifeline for vulnerable households facing another tough winter. But the lack of clear eligibility rules creates uncertainty—people need to know now whether they can budget for this support, especially as colder months approach. It’s a step in the right direction, but the government’s messaging feels half-baked.
Chinese state media releases key details about DF-5 nuclear weapons
neutralWorld Affairs
China’s state-run CCTV just dropped rare specifics about the DF-5, a long-range nuclear missile, breaking from its usual secrecy. Normally, Beijing keeps exact details about its nukes under wraps, so this sudden transparency—without clear reasoning—has raised eyebrows.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just a technical reveal—it’s a strategic signal. China’s nuclear program is usually a black box, so sharing specs (even selectively) could be a flex for deterrence, a nod to domestic audiences, or a subtle message in global power posturing. Either way, it’s a rare peek into a program that usually operates in the shadows.
Huawei claims better AI training method than DeepSeek using own chips
neutralWorld Affairs
Huawei’s AI research team says they’ve outdone DeepSeek’s AI training method by tweaking a popular technique called Mixture of Experts (MoE). Their new approach, dubbed Mixture of Grouped Experts (MoGE), runs on Huawei’s own chips—a notable flex given the company’s US sanctions. The paper, authored by a sizable team, suggests this could make AI training more efficient, though we’ll need to see how it holds up in practice.
Editor’s Note: Huawei’s pushing hard to prove it can still innovate in AI despite trade restrictions. If their method actually works better, it could shake up how big AI models are trained—and give Huawei a leg up in the global tech rivalry. But for now, it’s mostly a bold claim in a research paper, not a proven game-changer.
Suspect in French crypto sector kidnappings arrested in Morocco, justice minister says
negativeWorld Affairs
French authorities have nabbed the alleged ringleader behind a string of kidnappings targeting people in France’s cryptocurrency world. The suspect was arrested in Morocco, according to France’s justice minister.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another arrest—it highlights the darker side of the crypto boom, where big money can attract dangerous criminals. The case also shows how international cooperation is key to tackling cross-border crime, especially in an industry as global as crypto. For investors and workers in the space, it’s a sobering reminder that security risks go beyond just hacking and scams.
