China's new Dawn: Pan Jianwei reveals high-orbit quantum satellite for global network
China is developing the world's first high-orbit quantum communication satellite to enable more efficient, globally accessible quantum networks and lay the groundwork for redefining the international standard of the second, according to Pan Jianwei , the country's 'father of quantum'. Set to launch around 2027, the satellite will operate in geostationary orbit more than 35,000km (21,700 miles) above the Earth, Pan revealed during a pre-recorded keynote speech at a conference in Germany this month to mark the centenary of quantum mechanics. The satellite will carry an optical atomic clock and serve as a new platform for quantum metrology research, including efforts to improve the short-term stability of atomic clocks through global entanglement distribution, and potentially pave the way for a redefinition of the International System of Units (SI) base unit of time – the second. 11:05 Space race elevates Asia in new world order Space race elevates Asia in new world order The satellite – named Dawn – follows Micius , the world's first quantum satellite that was launched into low Earth orbit in 2016 by Pan's team at the University of Science and Technology of China. Pan revealed the satellite's name during a live Q&A session with more than 300 quantum physicists, including four Nobel laureates, who gathered on the island of Helgoland for the week-long meeting. Dawn was designed to extend entanglement distribution distances to over 10,000km, he said. 'A high-orbit satellite is incredibly powerful. It can simultaneously see two locations on Earth that are 10,000km apart,' he told state broadcaster CCTV in May. 'That makes it possible for us to establish key distributions between Beijing and South Africa.' Entanglement distribution from high orbit could also take place around the clock, thanks to the satellite's stationary position over Earth. 'That provides continuous coverage and ensures secure communications 24/7,' Pan told Chinese state broadcaster CCTV. He had previously told Chinese media that long-distance quantum communication through fibre-optic cables was limited by signal loss.

Pak Major who captured IAF pilot Abhinandan in 2019 killed in Waziristan
Major Syed Moiz Abbas Shah, a Pakistani Army officer known for his role in the 2019 capture of Indian Air Force pilot Abhinandan Varthaman, was among two soldiers killed during an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in South Waziristan on Tuesday. The operation targeted members of the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), referred to by the Pakistani military as 'Fitna al Khwarij', Dawn reported. According to a statement from Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), 11 terrorists were killed and seven others injured in the clash. The encounter took place in the Sararogha area of South Waziristan district, following intelligence inputs about the presence of militants in the region. Major Shah, 37, a native of Chakwal, led the operation and 'paid the ultimate sacrifice while leading his troops from the front', ISPR said. Alongside him, 27-year-old Lance Naik Jibranullah of Bannu also lost his life in the exchange of fire. Maj Shah was part of the team involved in capturing then-Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman in 2019. The 2019 aerial dogfight and Abhinandan's capture Following the February 14, 2019, Pulwama attack in Jammu and Kashmir, where 40 Indian paramilitary personnel were killed, India carried out an airstrike on a terrorist training camp in Balakot on February 26. The next day, Pakistani fighter jets attempted to target Indian military installations, prompting an aerial dogfight. Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman, flying a MiG-21 Bison as part of India's counter-response from the 51 Squadron based in Srinagar, was shot down and captured after ejecting across the Line of Control (LoC). His capture drew national attention in both countries. Back-channel diplomacy ensued amid escalating tensions. While Pakistan reportedly tried to leverage Abhinandan's capture, India issued a stern warning, resulting in a swift resolution. On February 28, Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan announced his release as a 'gesture of peace'. Abhinandan returned home 58 hours after his capture, crossing the Attari-Wagah border to a hero's welcome. Prime Minister Narendra Modi later said he had made India proud. Civilians caught in crossfire during Waziristan operation The Sararogha operation also resulted in civilian casualties. Two women travelling in a pickup from Khamrang to Wana were killed when their vehicle got caught in the crossfire. Five others, including two women, were injured. Deputy Commissioner of Lower South Waziristan Nisar Khan confirmed the incident and said a police investigation has been launched, Dawn reported.

Pakistan Army Major Who Claimed Abhinandan Varthaman's Capture Killed In Encounter With TTP
Major Syed Moiz Abbas Shah had shot to limelight in 2019 after claiming credit for the capture of IAF Group Captain Abhinandan Varthaman during an aerial dogfight Major Moiz Abbas Shah, the Pakistani officer who had claimed to have captured Indian Air Force Group Captain Abhinandan Varthaman in 2019, was killed on Tuesday in a major assault by the terrorist group Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). The attacks on the Pakistani Army in South Waziristan's Sargodha and Kurram areas come at a time when Pakistan is facing growing unrest with terrorists in its own territory, despite its history of supporting terror groups. According to sources, the TTP's attacks resulted in the deaths of 14 Pakistani personnel, including Major Shah. Meanwhile, some pro-Pakistan social media accounts have claimed that six personnel, including Shah, were killed in the Sargodha clash. According to a report by Dawn, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) stated that Pakistani security forces carried out an intelligence-based operation (IBO) on June 24, 2025, in Sararogha following reports of the presence of militants. The statement claimed that during the operation, troops targeted the militant hideout, killing 11 individuals and injuring seven others. The ISPR confirmed that Major Syed Moiz Abbas Shah, 37, from Chakwal, and Lance Naik Jibran Ullah, 27, from Bannu, were killed in the exchange of fire. Major Moiz, who was leading the mission, was praised for his bravery and his role in multiple operations against the group. The statement added that clearance operations were ongoing to eliminate any remaining militants in the area. The Dawn reported that in July 2024, the Pakistani government officially labeled the outlawed Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) as Fitna-al-Khawarij Khariji —a term meaning outcast. What Brought Major Syed Moiz Abbas Shah To Limelight In 2019 Major Syed Moiz Abbas Shah rose to attention in 2019 after claiming credit for capturing Indian Air Force pilot Group Captain Abhinandan Varthaman during an aerial dogfight following Indian strikes on terror bases in Balakot. The capture followed a fierce aerial clash on February 27, during which Varthaman's MiG-21 Bison was shot down after he brought down a Pakistani F-16. He was later returned to India by Pakistan on the night of March 1, 2019. The dogfight occurred a day after Indian Air Force jets carried out an airstrike on a Jaish-e-Mohammed training facility in Balakot. The strike came in response to the Pulwama terror attack that killed 40 Indian paramilitary personnel. On February 27, Pakistan launched a counteroffensive, attempting to strike Indian military installations in response to the Balakot airstrike.

I paid £20 for Tinder and want my money's worth – but little-known loophole desperate guys are using is driving me mad
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A FED-UP mum reckons she'll never find love on Tinder - because it keeps serving up blokes she's already rejected. Divorced Dawn Cowie, 48, turned to the app after more than two years being single. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Dawn Cowie is single and sick of Tinder Credit: TikTok/@dawnccowie 3 The mum is convinced guys are using a loophole on the dating app Credit: TikTok/@dawnccowie 3 Potential Tinder matches should no longer appear if you swipe left to reject them Credit: Alamy Her swipe finger has been working overdrive and she's already knocked back everyone that's on offer in tiny Nairn, Inverness-shire. But frustrated Dawn told how the guys she's rejected are making comebacks and repeatedly showing up for her. The mum-of-one said: 'It's doing my nut in. I keep running out of men because of my location. 'And I feel Tinder is recycling profiles. I kept thinking I've seen these faces before. 'Three times I've seen this one person. It's not taking the hint.' Since her marriage of 16 years ended Dawn admitted it's been tough trying to find someone else. Between work and taking care of her 11-year-old daughter she's not left with much time to herself. While meeting blokes in noisy pubs is a nightmare because she has no clue what they're saying to her. A friend suggested Tinder and she decided to fork out £20-a-month to get all the benefits of the app. But so far she's been extremely unhappy with the men offered up to her by the app. I tried the Tinder for fitness - I met my perfect match & learnt to do chin-ups in 8 weeks One date she lined up ended in disaster because the guy kept going on about her age, despite only being four years younger than her. Dawn said: 'Since then I've ran out and it's changed my location to global. 'There's no way I'll be flying 3,000 miles for more red flags. 'Now the same ones keep showing up, including the one that was going on about my age. I've already blocked him and moved on.' Dawn has discovered she may be falling victim to a little-known loophole on Tinder. She added: 'People have realised that if you deactivate your account and go back on, it says 'new'. So it resets them and pushes them back out. 'I feel like I've got to see it through to the end of the month to get my money's worth. 'But I won't be renewing after that.' Dawn isn't enjoying being back on the dating scene and has no idea if she will ever meet someone else. She said: 'It's actually a minefield. I thought dating in my 20s was bad. 'But it's a whole new ball game in the dating world now. 'To be honest I'm thinking if it happens it happens. 'It would be nice to have company but in all honesty I have an amazing daughter, my parents and my close friends. 'Online dating works for some but unfortunately it's just not for me.'
