Congress, BRS, MIM Running Vote-Bank Politics: Bandi
HYDERABAD: Union minister of state for home Bandi Sanjay Kumar accused the Congress leadership of turning the Jubilee Hills byelection campaign into a religious contest, ignoring development issues that truly affect the constituency.
Sanjay claimed the real fight was between the BJP and Congress, criticising what he termed “opportunistic alliances” between the Congress, AIMIM and the BRS. He alleged that government agencies had ignored complaints about the mysterious death of Jubilee Hills MLA Maganti Gopinath and alleged that Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy and BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao were eyeing the late MLA’s properties.
“If the Chief Minister has courage and integrity, let him order a thorough probe into Gopinath’s death,” Sanjay said, showing copies of what he claimed were official complaints regarding the case. He also questioned the nomination of Gopinath’s wife,...

Who’s behind the Catherine Connolly deepfake video, and why?
Business
This week Ireland witnessed its first sophisticated electoral deepfake, when an AI generated video, mimicking RTÉ news, told users of Facebook and YouTube that the election had been cancelled and Heather Humphreys declared the winner, because Catherine Connolly had exited the campaign (this is not true).
To understand what happened, and how to respond, we need to also consider why people may have gone to great efforts to get this video in front of us.
There are at least four reasons why someone might carry out an act of electoral disinformation. The first is to influence the outcome of an election. Lies about how or when to vote, who is eligible, or as we saw here this week, that an election has been cancelled, can be used to stop certain voters from turning up on...

Trump formally appeals ‘politically charged’ hush money conviction
Business
President Donald Trump's lawyers have formally appealed his criminal conviction in New York on charges of falsifying business records, saying the case was improperly based on “manufactured felony charges.” “This is the most politically charged prosecution in our Nation’s history,” the filing begins. “The DA, a Democrat, brought those charges in the middle of a contentious Presidential election in which President Trump was the leading Republican candidate," the lawyers wrote. "These charges against President Trump were as unprecedented as their political context,” and they involved “alleged conduct that has never been found to violate any New York law.”“This case should never have seen the inside of a courtroom, let alone resulted in a conviction,” said the appeal, filed Monday with the state Appellate Division’s First Department, a mid-level appeals court. The appeal seeks to...
Dark Money Drives Anti-China Crackdown Across State Legislatures
Business
States are passing a flurry of anti-China bills that critics warn could chill free speech, create an administrative albatross for ordinary citizens, and invite politically motivated civil penalties. Though framed as efforts to curb Chinese influence, civil liberties advocates contend that the bills bear the hallmarks of modern-day McCarthyism — propelled by newly created dark-money organizations.
“There’s often a fair debate to be had over China’s influence,” said James Czerniawski, head of emerging technology policy at Consumer Choice Center. “But my bigger concern is that states are greenlighting a second Red Scare.”“My bigger concern is that states are greenlighting a second Red Scare.”Nebraska, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas have now passed sweeping state-level foreign influence registries.

Ant Group is deepening its global ambitions through Hong Kong, positioning the city as a central base for cross-border financial innovation and enterprise growth. The company’s chairman, Eric Jing, outlined this direction during the tenth Hong Kong Fintech Week, underscoring Hong Kong’s unique role as both a regulatory testbed and an international hub for Chinese companies expanding abroad.
