India’s Supreme Court on Thursday scrapped a seven year-old election funding system that allows individuals and companies to donate money to political parties anonymously and without any limits. The decision is seen as a setback for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party, which has been the largest beneficiary of the system it introduced in 2017.

Under the system, a person or company can buy these bonds from…

The most prevalent types of childhood cancer include leukaemia, brain tumours, lymphoma, and neuroblastoma, among others. Unlike many adult cancers, childhood cancers are predominantly caused by genetic mutations rather than environmental factors or lifestyle choices, adding a layer of complexity to their treatment and management. But the challenges seldom end there. From the time of diagnosis to recovery,…

It would also mark the first soft lunar landing by a U.S. spacecraft since the final Apollo mission more than…
