Russia's President Vladimir Putin said on Monday that Moscow will adhere to nuclear arms limits for one more year after a nuclear pact with the United States expires in February. The New START treaty is the last remaining arms control agreement between Russia and the US. Speaking at a meeting with members of Russia's Security Council, Putin said that the pact's termination would have negative consequences for global stability. Putin said that Russia would expect the US to follow Moscow's example and also stick to the treaty's limits.

Business Standard

India's smartphone exports to its largest market, the US, fell 58 per cent from USD 2.29 billion in May to USD 964.8 million in August, think tank GTRI said on Monday. It said that the development is alarming and counter-intuitive as there are no tariffs on smartphones. "This demands urgent investigation to uncover the real reasons that are driving the fall," the Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) said. Smartphone exports, India's largest export to the US, plunged 58 per cent from USD 2.29 billion in May 2025 to USD 964.8 million in August, it said, adding the fall was steady month by month. It was USD 2 billion in June and USD 1.52 billion in July. In FY2025, the US remained India's top smartphone market with USD 10.6 billion imports (44 per cent of India's global exports of USD 24.1 billion), followed by the EU at USD 7.1 billion (29.5 per cent). It added that tariff-free products, which account for 28.5 per cent of India's August exports, posted the sharpest contraction o

India has not significantly advanced its CBAM preparedness: GTRI

Business Standard

With just 100 days left for the European Union to impose a carbon tax on several products, including metals, the government and the Indian exporters both have not yet taken significant steps to address this barrier, think tank GTRI said on Sunday. Indian exporters of steel and aluminum are staring at a fresh cost shock as the European Union (EU) begins collecting its Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) levy from January 1, 2026. The CBAM Regulation notified in May 2023, will initially cover iron and steel, aluminum, cement, electricity, hydrogen, and fertilisers. Over the next few years, the EU plans to extend CBAM to cover all major industrial products. It is designed to equalise carbon costs between EU-made and imported goods. From January 2026, the EU will charge a carbon tariff on selected imports, using the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) price and adjusting for any carbon price already paid in the exporting country. "Despite having a two-year transition period since

Proxy wars, ISIS key threats, graft in security bodies must end: NIA chief

Business Standard

Proxy wars and the ISIS are major challenges for India, said National Investigation Agency (NIA) chief Sadanand Date on Saturday, underscoring that corruption within institutions responsible for national security must end to tackle new hurdles. He was in Pune to attend an event where he gave a lecture on India's internal security and its challenges. While Naxalism, Khalistani elements and separatism remain internal challenges, proxy wars and the terror group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) pose a major threat to the nation, said the director general of the country's premier anti-terror probe agency. First, some countries are trying to disrupt our progress through proxy wars, and the second is ISIS. If we want to withstand new challenges, we must strengthen democracy. If we want to respond effectively to challenges, corruption within institutions responsible for national security must also end, said the senior IPS officer.

Cyberattack disrupts check-in, boarding systems at major European airports

Business Standard

A cyberattack targeting check-in and boarding systems has snarled air traffic and caused delays at some of Europe's top airports, officials said Saturday. The Brussels airport says the attack means that only manual check-in and boarding was possible there, and the incident was having a large impact on flight schedules. There was a cyberattack on Friday night 19 September against the service provider for the check-in and boarding systems affecting several European airports including Brussels Airport, it said in a statement. Authorities at Berlin's Brandenburg Airport said a service provider for passenger handling systems was attacked on Friday evening, prompting airport operators to cut off connections to the systems.
