India has condemned Pakistan for its "unjustified references" to Jammu and Kashmir during a recent United Nations debate on peacekeeping reforms. India's Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Parvathaneni Harish, labeled Pakistan's remarks as "unwarranted," asserting that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India. Harish emphasized that such claims do not validate Pakistan's position or justify its state-sponsored terrorism. He urged Pakistan to cease its attempts to divert attention from its "parochial and divisive agenda" and called for the vacating of territories it occupies in Jammu and Kashmir. This exchange occurred after Syed Tariq Fatemi, a special assistant to the Pakistani Prime Minister, addressed the issue during the Security Council discussion. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has previously noted that India's efforts for peace with Pakistan have been met with hostility, stressing that the onus lies with Islamabad to foster a terror-free environment for dialogue.

Mar 28 2025, 12 pmeznews.inJapan's capital punishment practices are facing renewed scrutiny following the acquittal of Iwao Hakamada, the world's longest-serving death row inmate, who was awarded $1.4 million in compensation. Despite international criticism, the death penalty enjoys significant public support, with a recent survey showing that 83% of respondents view it as "unavoidable." However, support for abolition has increased from 9% to 17% in the past five years, largely due to concerns over wrongful convictions. Currently, 107 prisoners await execution by hanging, Japan's sole method of capital punishment, which critics argue is cruel and prone to errors. Inmates often receive little to no warning before their executions, raising ethical questions about the system's transparency. Calls for reform are growing, with some suggesting a moratorium on executions, similar to South Korea's approach, to reassess the practice without compromising public safety.

Despite the controversy, Attorney General Pam Bondi stated that the breach is unlikely to lead to criminal charges, emphasizing the success of the military mission against the Houthis.

Mar 28 2025, 11 ameznews.inA new study published in _JAMA Network_ reveals that adults who frequently doomscroll on their phones before bedtime may sacrifice nearly an hour of sleep each week, potentially harming their cognitive health. Conducted by the American Cancer Society, the research analyzed over 122,000 participants between February 2023 and January 2025. It found that 41% reported daily screen use at bedtime, correlating with a 33% increase in poor sleep quality compared to non-users.

The findings emphasize that sleep deprivation, linked to screen use and social media consumption, can adversely affect brain function, increasing risks of obesity, diabetes, anxiety, and depression. Alarmingly, one-third of adults fail to meet the recommended seven to nine hours of sleep per night, raising concerns about widespread sleep quality deterioration.

Despite concerns over cost overruns in similar defense projects, the F-47's development is seen as crucial for maintaining U.S. dominance in the face of evolving threats.
