The US Department of War has now entered into an agreement with Elon Musk’s xAI. As part of the agreement the Elon Musk’s company’s frontier-grade artificial intelligence systems into the military’s bespoke platform GenAI.mil. The deal marks a significant expansion of the Department’s AI ecosystem, which already serves more than 3 million military and civilian personnel. “Today, the War Department officially entered into an agreement with xAI, paving the way for the deployment of its advanced capabilities on GenAI.mil. This move builds on the rapid deployment of cutting‑edge AI across the Department’s 3 million military and civilian personnel,” reads the release.

Embedding Grok models into GenAI.mil

As part of the agreement, xAI’s Grok family of models will be embedded directly into GenAI.mil, with initial deployment schedule for early 2026. The integration will operate at Impact Level 5 (IL5). This certification will enable secure handling of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) across daily workflows. This also means that the personnel will be able to make use of advanced AI tools while maintaining compliance with stringent security standards. In add-on to the AI-powered workflows, the partnership will offer War Department staff with real time global insights from Musk’s platform. Officials are of the opinion that this capability will deliver a decisive information advantage, allowing faster decision-making and situational awareness across military and civilian operations.

Scaling AI for speed and security

The Department emphasised that the agreement is part of a broader push to scale an AI ecosystem “built for speed, security, and decision superiority.” By embedding IL5-certified systems into everyday tasks, the War Department aims to transform AI from a specialized tool into a daily operational asset for its workforce.“The War Department will continue scaling an AI ecosystem built for speed, security, and decision superiority. Newly IL5-certified capabilities will empower every aspect of the Department’s workforce, turning AI into a daily operational asset,” adds the release.

NEW DELHI: Communist Party of India (Marxist) MP John Brittas on Tuesday questioned leader of opposition Rahul Gandhi’s absence from Parliament during the Winter Session and criticised Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi’s participation post-session in “chai pe charcha” with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.Speaking to ANI, Brittas took a sharp dig at Priyanka for attending a tea meeting hosted by Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla after the conclusion of the Winter Session, saying the move “sent a wrong message” to the public, coming just hours after the BJP “bulldozed” the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA). “This has been a matter of concern for people like us… It was not a good scene for us to see Priyanka Gandhi and others sitting at the tea party along with the Prime Minister,” he said.“We would have expected better wisdom to guide them. I can also tell you that for comparatively insignificant issues, we stayed away from such tea parties,” he told ANI.Referring to past parliamentary protests, he said the Opposition had deliberately avoided similar meetings earlier. “Last monsoon session, the opposition stayed away from such tea parties, because the government was not prepared for a discussion on SIR,” he said, adding that, “Earlier, when the Waqf Bill was bulldozed, we stayed away.”Calling the latest episode particularly damaging, Brittas said, “Compared to all those issues, this was a humongous issue… Such a spectacle of Priyanka Gandhi having a cup of tea with the Prime Minister. Just a few hours after the bulldozing of Mahatma Gandhi, it was not only a sad scene, it has sent a wrong message to the people of the country.”“I don’t subscribe to such bonhomie which is detrimental to the unity of the opposition and the betterment of the poor people of this country,” he added.Brittas also raised concerns over Rahul Gandhi’s absence from Parliament during the Winter Session. “Why travel abroad when the Parliament session is on? We had already decided that Rahul Gandhi, as part of the opposition, should be present when the three anti-people bills were piloted in Parliament. However, it is for him and his political party to decide,” he told IANS.Rahul Gandhi was on a five-day visit to Germany, where he held meetings with former German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Environment Minister Carsten Schneider, among others, to discuss issues of mutual interest.

Denmark and Greenlandic Prime Ministers rebukes Trump’s appointment of special envoy (Photo: AP)

The Prime Ministers of Denmark and Greenland, in a stance against US President Donald Trump‘s appointment of a special envoy, demanded respect for their territorial integrity. They insisted that the US won’t take over Greenland and that the sovereignty of the nation is rooted in international law.“We have said it before. Now, we say it again. National borders and the sovereignty of states are rooted in international law,” Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and her Greenlandic counterpart, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, said in a joint statement. “They are fundamental principles. You cannot annex another country. Not even with an argument about international security.”Trump, on Sunday, announced the appointment of Louisiana governor Jeff Landry as a special envoy to Greenland. This has added fuel to the ongoing tensions regarding Trump’s intention of the US annexation of the land. Denmark’s foreign minister, on Monday, told Danish broadcasters that he would summon the US ambassador to his ministry.Further in the statement, Frederiksen’s office stated, “Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders and the US shall not take over Greenland. We expect respect for our joint territorial integrity.”

Who is Jeff Landry?

The governor of Louisiana, Jeff Landry, has been appointed as the special envoy to Greenland by Trump. While the exact scope of the role is yet unclear, Jeff shall still be holding the governor’s office. Landry is a conservative fighter who, before winning the governor’s race, was appointed as Louisiana’s attorney general in 2016. Throughout his time in office, he became a frequent legal adversary of Democratic leadership, launching numerous courtroom challenges against the agendas of both the Biden administration and his predecessor, John Bel Edwards, including pandemic vaccine mandates, environmental regulations, etc.Being a staunch Trump supporter, Landry had also applauded the deployment of border patrol agents in New Orleans. The mission, known as Operation Catahoula Crunch (or “Swamp Sweep”), set a target of 5,000 arrests of individuals without permanent legal status. Landry framed the move as a necessary strike against “criminal illegal aliens,” The operation sparked intense backlash for its heavy-handed approach and reports of aggressive tactics.In June 2025, Landry led a Louisiana delegation to the International Paris Air Show to boost the state’s aerospace industry and attract global investment.While Landry has little formal history with the Danish government, President Trump recently appointed him as the U.S. Special Envoy to Greenland. Landry described the volunteer role as a mission to “make Greenland a part of the U.S.,” sparking a diplomatic row with Denmark. This move follows Trump’s pattern of using personal loyalists to manage unconventional international priorities.Announcing the appointment of the envoy on Truth Social on Sunday, Trump went on to say that Jeff understands the importance of Greenland for the US’ national security and shall be extending the US’s interest.

Later on Monday, reiterating the security claims, Trump said the US needed Greenland “not for minerals” and claimed Russian and Chinese vessels were operating extensively in the region, and said Landry would “lead the charge.”“We need Greenland for national security,” Trump told reporters on Monday, “And if you take a look at Greenland, you look up and down the coast, you have Russian and Chinese ships all over the place.”

Trump Greenland claims

In the initial months of his second term, Trump had expressed a strong interest in taking over the largely self-governing island territory. In August, Danish officials summoned the top US diplomat in Copenhagen following a report that at least three people with connections to Trump had carried out covert influence operations in Greenland.As The Guardian reports, according to a poll in January, the vast majority of Greenland’s 57,000 inhabitants want to become independent from Denmark but have no wish to become part of the US. The territory has had the right to declare independence since 2009.

NEW DELHI: Bharatiya Janata Party on Tuesday launched a broadside against Rahul Gandhi after he targeted the saffron party while addressing an event in Germany’s Berlin.BJP‘s national spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari alleged that Rahul and Congress want “chaos and unrest in Indian Democracy” “From Fighting Indian state, to threatening Anarchy. Rahul Gandhi’s Congress with his ideological patron George Soros wants Chaos, Unrest in Indian Democracy. Rahul goes abroad for uniting such Anti India forces,” Bhandari wrote on a post on X.“Congress hates Indian Democracy. Congress hates Bharat’s progress. Rahul Gandhi’s Congress wants Anarchy!” he added.Earlier, while addressing an event at Hertie School in Berlin, Rahul Gandhi accused the BJP of “capturing the country’s institutional framework”, terming it an “attack” on the democratic system.Rahul alleged that the Centre has “weaponised” investigating agencies, suggesting a quid pro quo in which businessmen in India financially support the BJP rather than Opposition parties.“There is a wholesale capture of our instituteonal framework. Our intelligence agencies, ED and CBI, have been weaponised. ED and CBI have zero cases against the BJP, and most of the political cases are against the people who oppose them. If you are a businessman and try to support the Congress, you are threatened. BJP uses the institutional framework of India as a tool to build political power. Look at the money the BJP has and the opposition has,” he said.“There is an attack on the democratic system. We have to find ways to counter this. We will create a system of opposition resistance that will succeed. We are not fighting the BJP, but their capture of the Indian institutional structure,” he added.Further, the Congress leader claimed that India and the West have “handed over” the production of goods to China and said that Made in China goods have crippled job creation in democracies, fuelling political turbulence across India, the United States and Europe.“The West and to an extent India, have handed over production to the Chinese. China dominates production today, which means that it is difficult to give employment to a large number of people. Countries like India, the US and Germany cannot give their employment based on services. How do democracies produce in this transition? What are the models that are required, how do you think about production in a democratic environment, and what are the types of partnerships that India, the US and Europe can create for production? It will become very difficult for democracy to sustain itself if we are not able to produce,” he said.“A huge part of the turbulence that we are seeing in Europe, India and the US, polarisation of politics, is because we are not able to give our people jobs, which is because we said: China, you produce for the world,” he added.Rahul Gandhi is on a five-day visit to Germany.His remarks come after he had claimed that manufacturing in India is declining.During his visit to the BMW World museum in Munich, Germany, on December 17, he said, “Manufacturing is the backbone of strong economies. Sadly, in India, manufacturing is declining. For us to accelerate growth, we need to produce more – build meaningful manufacturing ecosystems, and create high-quality jobs at scale.”However, BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari refuted the Lok Sabha LoP’s claim, calling it “fake news” against India’s growth story.The BJP Spokesperson, in an X post, claimed 495 per cent growth in total electronics manufacturing in the last 10 years, with exports growing by 760 per cent, and a 14 times increase in the automobile manufacturing since 1991.

NEW DELHI: Rohit Sharma‘s renewed focus on fitness has silenced lingering doubts about his place in India’s ODI set-up, with former spinner Amit Mishra strongly backing the Indian opener and challenging conventional perceptions around body type and athleticism.Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW!Questions around Rohit’s conditioning had resurfaced despite his outstanding leadership and batting during India’s Champions Trophy triumph. With an eye on the next ODI World Cup in 2027, the former Indian skipper used his break time from cricket to take matters into his own hands, working closely with a former India assistant coach on his fitness. The effort resulted in Rohit shedding close to 10 kilograms, and he has looked visibly leaner and sharper recently.

However, Mishra believes the narrative around Rohit’s fitness has long been misplaced. Speaking on MensXP, the veteran leg-spinner said Rohit was always capable on the field, even when labelled “heavy” by critics.“Rohit Sharma has made a comeback and is fit. He was fit before as well. I have played with him. People called him heavy but I never felt that he was slow on the field or could not score runs. It was not like he would bat and go out, he would field as well and was active. Everyone have their opinion and perspective,” Mishra said.Mishra used Rohit’s example to broaden the debate on fitness, stressing that people often judge players by appearance rather than output or durability.

“Everybody’s body is not the same. There is a difference. The type is different. Fitness is judged more on looks these days — to look lean,” he said. “It is better to have a genuine body and maintain your fitness. Eat well, work hard, you will stay fit. Take care of your diet and do things naturally.”The former India spinner also warned against short-term transformations driven by optics rather than sustainability. “Don’t be fit to just look fit. There are many examples of those who made themselves look fit in a short time, I will not take names, but later they have faced many issues with their body,” Mishra noted, adding that good sleep, natural training, outdoor running and the right mindset were just as important as gym work.Rohit’s performances have matched his physical transformation. In the recently concluded ODI series against Australia, he was named Player of the Tournament after scoring 202 runs, including a century in Sydney. Against South Africa at home, he followed it up with 146 runs.

NEW DELHI: Three days after an Air India Express pilot allegedly assaulted a passenger at IGI Airport’s Terminal 1, Delhi Police received cross complaints from both.

My family and I were guided to use the security check that the staff use because we had a four-month-old baby in a stroller. The staff were cutting the queue ahead of me. On calling them out, Sejwal, who was doing the same, asked me if I was anpadh (uneducated) and couldn’t read the sign that said the entrance was meant for the staff.“A altercation broke out. Not able to exercise restraint, the pilot proceeded to physically assault me. The blood in the photograph (Dewan posted) on his shirt is mine,” said the flyer, who was to board a SpiceJet flight with his wife, daughter and the infant.Police said the captain, who was flying on IndiGo to Bengaluru as a passenger to join duty and was later grounded by AI Express pending an inquiry, filed the complaint on Sunday.Sejwal’s advocate claimed Dewan initiated the confrontation by verbally abusing him without provocation and continued using abusive, degrading and threatening language even after being asked to stop. “The situation escalated into a physical altercation in which Sejwal also sustained injuries. CISF personnel intervened, repeatedly told Dewan to calm down and stop abusing Sejwal, yet he refused to relent and continued his misconduct,” the advocate said.

Sherrone Moore case takes new turn as women describe unsettling Instagram messages publicly (Image Via Getty)

Sherrone Moore became the focus of fresh questions this week after a detailed report described a pattern of uncomfortable social media messages sent to women over several years. The report, published by The Athletic on Monday, linked those messages to wider concerns about his judgment while he was leading the Michigan Wolverines football program.The report came after Sherrone Moore was fired for cause by the University of Michigan following an off-field incident involving a female staff member. While the Instagram messages were not described as criminal, they added context to concerns raised inside the program months earlier.

According to The Athletic, five women said they had strange or uncomfortable exchanges with Sherrone Moore on Instagram between 2020 and October 2024. The women told the outlet that Moore often started conversations by liking their stories or sending direct messages, even though they had no professional link to Michigan football.Two people briefed on the situation said these interactions were reported to university officials by fall 2024, during Moore’s first season as head coach in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Officials reportedly reviewed the behavior but did not view it as criminal or as involving university employees.One official told The Athletic, “It was not sexual harassment. It was propriety, ‘Are you an idiot?’ kind of stuff.” Moore, who is married and a father of three, allegedly asked one woman if he could fly her to Michigan. When she asked what that would involve, Moore replied, “I guess we will have to see! I would say yes but you would also have a driver haha.”The social media revelations surfaced after a serious incident earlier this fall. Sherrone Moore was arrested after allegedly entering the home of a female football staff member in Michigan and threatening to harm himself while holding butter knives and scissors. The incident led the university to fire him for what it described as an “inappropriate relationship with a staff member.” In one of the most recent reported Instagram interactions, Moore contacted a woman shortly before Michigan defeated Purdue on November 1. The woman, who had no connection to the football program, said she replied only after Moore sent a hand-waving emoji.The Athletic reported that while the Instagram messages did not break the law, they were seen by some inside the university as early warning signs of deeper issues that later became public.Also Read: Travis Kelce And Taylor Swift Vs Stefon Diggs And Cardi B Combined Net Worth In 2025: Who Is Richer, Nfl Power Couples, Music Fame, Earnings And More
