Hermeus is pushing the boundaries of aerospace technology with its hypersonic aircraft concept, which could redefine presidential travel. Capable of flying at Mach 5, the Hermeus jet could cut the travel time from Washington DC to London to just 90 minutes. But could it truly become the next Air Force One?

How Geography Constantly Pushes India & Pakistan to War

On April 22, 2025 a major terrorist attack took place near the town of Pahalgam in the Indian administered territory of Jammu and Kashmir. A group of armed attackers emerged from the woods surrounding a meadow and ambushed civilian tourists who were visiting the area. In total, 26 visiting tourists were killed in the massacre – all of whom were civilians, and nearly all of whom were Hindus – representing the deadliest terrorist attack on civilians in Jammu and Kashmir in more than 30 years and the deadliest attack on civilians anywhere in India since 2008. The risk of a massive war erupting between India and Pakistan has nearly always been present for decades but it appears to have increased in chances dramatically in recent times. In order to understand why this border is so militarised today and why Kashmir is such a dangerous and hotly disputed area you need to understand how modern India, Pakistan and Kashmir all came to be in the first place and for a lot of that – as with most other major modern controversial border disputes – you can thank the British.

Volcano emits smoke and glowing lava

A volcano has erupted in southwest Iceland, belching smoke and emitting glowing hot yellow and orange lava. Often referred to as a land of ice and fire, the North Atlantic island nation with its many glaciers and volcanoes has now experienced a dozen eruptions since geological systems on its Reykjanes peninsula reactivated in 2021. Magma forced through the earth’s crust opened a massive fissure of length between 700 and 1,000 metres, Iceland’s meteorological office said, with the first signs of the eruption giving scant warning.
