India’s future nuclear fleet may need 5,400 tonnes uranium annually; domestic supply meets about 30%: Parliamentary panel A Parliamentary Standing Committee (the Committee on Public Undertakings), reviewing the performance of the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL), has flagged that India’s domestic uranium production meets only about 30 per cent of the country’s requirement for its Pressurised Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRs). As India’s nuclear fleet expands, PHWR fuel needs could touch around 5,400 tonnes of natural uranium oxide (U3O8) a year. The panel has called for faster domestic mining, policy clarity on private sector participation through mine developer-cum-operator (MDO)…

XRP traded at $1.02 today. At that level, the token was approximately -70% below its 2025 peak near $3.50. A return to $3 in 2026 for Ripple would therefore depend on a recovery in price momentum as well as the institutional and regulatory factors that underpin the more bullish forecasts. Worryingly, the past three sessions have seen no inflows or outflows into Ripple ETFs, potentially signaling a dwindling institutional interest in the asset. The same snapshot placed XRP’s market capitalization at $64Bn and reported 24-hour trading volume of $1.2Bn. XRP had declined from late-November highs near $2.20 to longstanding support…

Ted Lasso is back in Richmond, but not all the Greyhounds joined him. Though Ted Lasso season four sees Jason Sudeikis’ titular character return to London, this time around, he’s hosting AFC Richmond’s new women’s team—meaning many fan-favorites from the Apple TV’s first three seasons won’t take the field during the latest installment. Still, the series made it clear that football is still life for many of them. Indeed, Coach Lasso takes a walk down memory lane with a visit to his former team’s locker room—reuniting with his men’s team successor Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein) and his beloved “Believe” sign.…

Over the last year or more, it’s been hilarious seeing headlines pondering which new action thriller will be the “Reacher” replacement. I didn’t realize we needed one. After watching Season 4, apparently Jack Reacher doesn’t either. From “Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan” to “The Night Agent” to “The Day of the Jackal” to “Hijack,” these are all solid franchises, depending on your tastes. Still, a replacement seems premature. There’s nothing like “Reacher.” With Season 4 almost here and 5 on the way (along with a spin-off in next month’s “Neagley”), this big brawling, heroic-antihero detective thriller isn’t done yet. The wandering…
