The object was not a weapon or a famous portrait of the Oglala Lakota leader.<!-- --> It was his medicine bundle, a private collection of sacred belongings that was treated with great care by the people who inherited responsibility for it. The bundle was eventually buried about six feet underground in 1942, when the Second World War made its owners uncertain about what lay ahead. Years later, the family returned to find that Minatare had changed so much that the hiding place could no longer be identified.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="5"/></p> <p><h2>Why Crazy Horse entrusted his medicine bundle to <keyword id="38249239" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="fast-thunder" source="keywords">Fast Thunder</keyword> before 1877</h2> </p> <p><span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="7"/>The story begins shortly before Crazy Horse died in 1877. According to historian Thomas Powers, the Oglala leader entrusted his medicine bundle to his close friend Fast Thunder. After Crazy Horse was killed, Fast Thunder carried the bundle to the newly established Pine Ridge Reservation, where it remained within the family rather than becoming a public relic. Fast Thunder died in 1914. His wife, Jennie Wounded Horse, continued to protect the bundle and eventually placed it in the care of Nellie Ghost Dog. From there it passed to Theodore Means, Fast Thunder’s grandson. The chain of custody stretched across roughly six and a half decades, with the bundle remaining a private possession rather than something displayed or discussed openly. Medicine bundles are packages containing items considered sacred by their owners, potentially including stones, herbs, beads or hair.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="11"/>That privacy matters to the story. The bundle was not simply an old object associated with a famous historical figure. <!-- -->It had been entrusted to particular people, and its meaning was tied to Lakota traditions and family responsibility.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="15"/></p> <p><h3>How Theodore Means hid the Crazy Horse medicine bundle six feet underground</h3> </p> <p><span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="17"/>During the 1930s, Oglala Lakota workers travelled from Pine Ridge to the North Platte Valley for seasonal agricultural jobs. Theodore Means was among those who found work in Minatare, where people came to pick potatoes. Then the Second World War changed the circumstances around the annual migration.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="20"/>In the autumn of 1942, Means decided the bundle needed to be hidden. He buried it in Minatare, roughly six feet below the ground, intending to protect it while he was away. The following year, he joined the army and went to war. The location was remembered using the landscape around it. A large cottonwood tree served as an important landmark. That might have seemed sufficient at the time. But the people who buried the bundle could not have known how dramatically the area would change over the following decades.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="23"/>The Nebraska History records the later account of the burial and the family’s attempt to recover it. The original Nebraska History article, “The Crazy Horse Medicine Bundle”, was written by Thomas Powers and appeared in volume 95 of the publication in 2014.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="25"/></p> <p><h3>How changes in Minatare made the Crazy Horse medicine bundle impossible to locate</h3> </p> <p><span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="27"/>Theodore Means died in the early 1960s. Several years later, in 1968 or 1969, his wife Theresa returned to Minatare to search for the place where the bundle had been buried. <!-- -->It was no longer the same landscape. According to the Nebraska State Historical Society, many of the enormous cottonwood trees had been removed. Roads had also changed as cars became more common, altering parts of the town and its surroundings. The landmarks that had once made the burial place recognisable were gone, leaving Theresa unable to determine exactly where the bundle had been placed.<!-- --> That is how a possession that had been carefully handed down from one person to another became lost.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="33"/>There is no known modern marker identifying the spot. History Nebraska describes the bundle as being “six feet deep somewhere in Minatare, Nebraska”, making the location an unresolved part of the story rather than a confirmed archaeological site.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="35"/></p> <p><h3>Why the family never identified the contents of the Crazy Horse medicine bundle</h3> </p> <p><span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="37"/>The contents were never properly identified. That uncertainty is one of the most striking parts of the story. A medicine bundle could contain objects regarded as sacred or powerful by its owner. <!-- -->But what Crazy Horse himself placed inside his bundle is not established by the surviving account. The family apparently did not recover the contents before the bundle was buried again. Powers’s account adds a more unusual detail.<!-- --> According to the family story, when the bundle was opened before burial, those present heard a sudden disturbance of owls outside the tent. In Lakota tradition, owls could be understood as warnings associated with death. <!-- -->The family became frightened and stopped opening the bundle, wrapping it again before putting it into the ground.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="44"/>That episode belongs to an oral family account rather than something that can be independently verified as an event. It is therefore best understood as part of the story preserved by the family, not as evidence that the bundle contained any particular object. The official Nebraska History account itself ends with the uncertainty. <!-- -->It says that the bundle may have remained a mystery by design and quotes Powers describing the lost bundle as a division “between the things that are lost and the things that survive.<!-- -->”<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="49"/></p> <p><h3>How Crazy Horse’s lost medicine bundle differs from the famous Crazy Horse Memorial</h3> </p> <p><span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="51"/>The lost bundle is sometimes easily confused with the much larger public story surrounding Crazy Horse’s name in the Black Hills of South Dakota. The Crazy Horse Memorial, begun in 1948, is an enormous mountainside sculpture honouring the Lakota leader. <!-- -->Its origins go back to Lakota elder Henry Standing Bear, who approached sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski with the idea of creating a monument to Native American leaders.<!-- --> The project remains unfinished. A separate source discussing the memorial notes that the planned carving is intended to become one of the largest sculptures in the world. But the two stories point in almost opposite directions. The memorial is a public representation of Crazy Horse, while the medicine bundle was kept private and passed quietly through family hands.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="58"/>That distinction is important because Crazy Horse himself has long been associated with an absence of confirmed photographic portraits. The separate account supplied for this article notes that he avoided photographers and that the location of his burial was also kept undisclosed. The medicine bundle fits into that broader pattern of an individual whose history contains deliberate silences. A public monument can preserve a name and an image.<!-- --> A hidden bundle preserves something else: an object that was never intended to become a public display.</div> <p><br /> <br /><a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/in-1942-crazy-horses-sacred-medicine-bundle-was-buried-underground-in-nebraska-decades-later-the-family-returned-to-find-its-landmark-gone/articleshow/133151050.cms" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Source link </a></p> </div> </article></div><div class="col-md-6 col-12"><article class="swiper-slide post-items"> <figure class="post-image"> <div class="featured-image"> <a href="javascript:void(0);" class="blog-img"> <img src="https://chetana.live/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/irelands-white-tailed-eagles-went-extinct-due-to-human-persecution-now-the-country-has-released-245.avif" class="img-fluid" alt="Ireland’s white-tailed eagles went extinct due to human persecution, now the country has released 245 chicks in the wild about 100 years later"> </a> <div class="author-date"> <span class="post-date"> <a href="https://chetana.live/?m=20260811"> <time datetime="2026-08-11" class="meta-info"> <span class="blog-date">11</span> <span class="month">AUG</span> <span class="year">2026</span> </time> </a> </span> <a href="https://chetana.live/author/admin" class="post-author"> <img alt='' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/4333a2c39aab83f81a283648dd2d09514a88ee0b4fa04e2ad127a8d5b25d14b4?s=96&d=mm&r=g' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/4333a2c39aab83f81a283648dd2d09514a88ee0b4fa04e2ad127a8d5b25d14b4?s=192&d=mm&r=g 2x' class='avatar avatar-96 photo' height='96' width='96' loading='lazy' decoding='async'/> </a> </div> </div> </figure> <div class="post-content"> <div class="post-meta"> <span class="author-name"> <i class="fa fa-user"></i> <a href="https://chetana.live/author/admin">admin</a> </span> <span class="blog-category"> <i class="fa fa-folder-open"></i> <a href="https://chetana.live/?cat=5" rel="category">ଦେଶ ବିଦେଶ</a> </span> <span class="post-tags"> <i class="fa fa-tags"></i> </span> </div> <h5 class="post-title"><a href="https://chetana.live/?p=304" class="ellipsis" rel="bookmark">Ireland’s white-tailed eagles went extinct due to human persecution, now the country has released 245 chicks in the wild about 100 years later</a></h5><p><br /> </p> <div> <div class="e9jwa"> <div class="vdo_embedd"> <div class="GfdvZ"> <section class="_bIDB clearfix id-r-component leadmedia undefined undefined E9tg9 " style="top:0px"> <div class="_bIDB" data-ua-type="1" onclick="stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)"> <div class="ypVvZ"> <div class="WGttI"><img src="https://static.toiimg.com/thumb/msid-133152810,imgsize-56838,width-400,height-225,resizemode-4/irelands-white-tailed-eagles-went-extinct-due-to-human-persecution-now-the-country-has-released-245-chicks-in-the-wild-about-100-years-later.jpg" alt="Ireland's white-tailed eagles went extinct due to human persecution, now the country has released 245 chicks in the wild about 100 years later" decoding="async" fetchpriority="high"/></div> </div> </div> </section> </div></div> </div> <p>Once extinct in Ireland after decades of human persecution, the magnificent white-tailed eagle is soaring across the country’s skies again. Since 2007, Ireland has released 245 young eagles as part of a long-running reintroduction programme, and the population is now breeding and expanding on its own.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="2"/>In July 2026, a pair of white-tailed sea eagles successfully bred at Killarney’s Lough Léin for the fifth consecutive year, with two young birds fledging the nest. The National Parks and Wildlife Service estimates that around 150 white-tailed eagles now live in the wild in Ireland, with 17 known breeding pairs.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="4"/></p> <p><h2>A bird lost to persecution</h2> </p> <p><span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="6"/>The white-tailed eagle was once a native part of Ireland’s landscape, but human persecution drove the species to extinction on the island during the 19th century. <!-- -->The birds were targeted because they were regarded as threats to expanding livestock, while shooting and poisoning contributed to their complete disappearance by 1912.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="11"/>More than a century later, conservationists decided to bring the species back. In 2007, Ireland’s National Parks and Wildlife Service, working with the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research and the Golden Eagle Trust, began the first phase of a white-tailed eagle reintroduction programme. Between 2007 and 2011, 100 young eagles from Norway were released at Killarney National Park in County Kerry.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="15"/>The birds gradually dispersed across Ireland. In 2012, the first successful breeding in more than a century took place at Lough Derg in County Clare. By 2020, eight to 10 breeding pairs had already fledged 31 chicks across Cork, Kerry, Clare, Galway and Tipperary.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="17"/></p> <p><h2>A second push to secure the population</h2> </p> <p><span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="19"/>Despite those early successes, the population remained vulnerable. <!-- -->Avian influenza, extreme weather and illegal poisoning were among the threats that could undermine the recovery.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="23"/>In 2020, NPWS launched a second phase of the reintroduction project to strengthen the population. Young eagles aged seven to 10 weeks were brought from Norway, raised in secure facilities in Ireland and released once they were ready to fly. The birds were fitted with satellite tags so conservationists could follow their movements and survival.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="26"/>The programme continued until 2025. In its final year, 26 chicks were released, bringing the total number of white-tailed eagle chicks reintroduced to Ireland since 2007 to 245.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="28"/>The programme officially concluded in August 2025, with four chicks released at Killarney National Park. At that point, NPWS estimated that the wild population had reached roughly 150 birds, considered sufficient to maintain a self-sustaining population. <!-- -->But the end of the release programme does not mean the end of conservation work.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="32"/></p> <p><h2>Eagles are now breeding on their own</h2> </p> <p><span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="34"/>The strongest sign of success is that Irish-born eagles are now reproducing in the wild. In July 2026, two young white-tailed eagles fledged from a nest at Lough Léin in Killarney, marking the fifth consecutive year that the pair had successfully bred. There are now 17 known breeding pairs across Ireland, although the exact number of chicks born in the wild in 2026 is not yet known.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="37"/>Moreover, the Fota Wildlife Park in County Cork announced the successful birth and fledging of a white-tailed sea eagle chick—the first chick of the species born at the park in more than a decade, as per a report by Good News Network. The eaglet hatched on April 13 to resident parents Áine and Tony, who, according to their caretakers, have taken naturally to the demanding job of raising Europe’s largest eagle.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="39"/>“The mother and father have done a great job,” said Jess Hodnett, Fota Wildlife Park’s Native Species Conservation Officer.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="42"/>The first successful breeding in modern times was recorded in 2012. Since then, the birds have established themselves in several parts of the country, including Cork, Kerry, Clare, Galway, Tipperary and Donegal.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="44"/>The recovery has also changed attitudes. The programme involved working with farmers and local communities in areas where the eagles were released and eventually settled. NPWS says cooperation with landowners has been an important part of the effort to ensure the birds and farming communities can coexist.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="47"/></p> <p><h2>Ireland’s giant bird of prey</h2> </p> <p><span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="49"/>The white-tailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla), also known as the white-tailed sea eagle, is one of Europe’s largest birds of prey. Adults can have a wingspan of around 2.5 metres.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="51"/>Their diet is varied. They primarily eat fish but can also take waterbirds, rabbits and hares, while carrion forms an important part of their diet, particularly during winter. They generally build territories around coastlines and large freshwater lakes.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="54"/>The species is also a long-lived, slow-breeding bird. Females typically lay one to three eggs in late March or early April, with incubation lasting roughly 38 to 40 days. Chicks usually fledge after around 10 to 12 weeks and remain dependent on their parents for several more weeks.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="57"/></p> <p><h2>The comeback is not without risks</h2> </p> <p><span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="59"/>Although Ireland’s population is now considered self-sustaining, the eagles remain vulnerable. Illegal poisoning and shooting continue to threaten the recovery. <!-- -->In 2025, an investigation followed the suspected poisoning of Caimin, one of Ireland’s oldest breeding white-tailed eagles, which had held territory at Lough Derg for 17 years. Another reintroduced eagle was confirmed to have been shot near Lough Owel in County Westmeath that same year.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="63"/>NPWS says illegal poisoning remains one of the biggest threats to the population. Avian influenza, adverse weather, lead poisoning and collisions with wind turbines have also contributed to eagle deaths.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="65"/>For now, however, the sight of young white-tailed eagles leaving nests in Killarney represents something that seemed impossible a few decades ago: a species once wiped out in Ireland is once again raising its young in the wild.</div> <p><br /> <br /><a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/rest-of-world/irelands-white-tailed-eagles-went-extinct-due-to-human-persecution-now-the-country-has-released-245-chicks-in-the-wild-about-100-years-later/articleshow/133152582.cms" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Source link </a></p> </div> </article></div><div class="col-md-6 col-12"><article class="swiper-slide post-items"> <figure class="post-image"> <div class="featured-image"> <a href="javascript:void(0);" class="blog-img"> <img src="https://chetana.live/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/sushil-kumar.jpg" class="img-fluid" alt="‘Premeditated and gruesome assault’: Delhi high court denies bail to Olympic medalist Sushil Kumar in murder case | Off the field News"> </a> <div class="author-date"> <span class="post-date"> <a href="https://chetana.live/?m=20260811"> <time datetime="2026-08-11" class="meta-info"> <span class="blog-date">11</span> <span class="month">AUG</span> <span class="year">2026</span> </time> </a> </span> <a href="https://chetana.live/author/admin" class="post-author"> <img alt='' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/4333a2c39aab83f81a283648dd2d09514a88ee0b4fa04e2ad127a8d5b25d14b4?s=96&d=mm&r=g' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/4333a2c39aab83f81a283648dd2d09514a88ee0b4fa04e2ad127a8d5b25d14b4?s=192&d=mm&r=g 2x' class='avatar avatar-96 photo' height='96' width='96' loading='lazy' decoding='async'/> </a> </div> </div> </figure> <div class="post-content"> <div class="post-meta"> <span class="author-name"> <i class="fa fa-user"></i> <a href="https://chetana.live/author/admin">admin</a> </span> <span class="blog-category"> <i class="fa fa-folder-open"></i> <a href="https://chetana.live/?cat=16" rel="category">ଖେଳ</a> </span> <span class="post-tags"> <i class="fa fa-tags"></i> </span> </div> <h5 class="post-title"><a href="https://chetana.live/?p=302" class="ellipsis" rel="bookmark">‘Premeditated and gruesome assault’: Delhi high court denies bail to Olympic medalist Sushil Kumar in murder case | Off the field News</a></h5><p><br /> </p> <div> <div class="e9jwa"> <div class="vdo_embedd"> <div class="GfdvZ"> <section class="_bIDB clearfix id-r-component leadmedia undefined undefined E9tg9 " style="top:0px"> <div class="_bIDB" data-ua-type="1" onclick="stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)"> <div class="ypVvZ"> <div class="WGttI"><img src="https://static.toiimg.com/thumb/msid-133152437,imgsize-406309,width-400,height-225,resizemode-4/sushil-kumar.jpg" alt="'Premeditated and gruesome assault': Delhi high court denies bail to Olympic medalist Sushil Kumar in murder case" title="Sushil Kumar" decoding="async" fetchpriority="high"/></div> </div> </div> </section> </div></div> </div> <p>The <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/delhi-high-court" styleobj="[object Object]" class="" commonstate="[object Object]" frmappuse="1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Delhi high court</a> has refused to grant bail to Olympic wrestler Sushil Kumar in the alleged murder of former junior national wrestling champion Sagar Dhankar.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="3"/>Justice Purushaindra Kumar dismissed Kumar’s bail plea on August 6, citing concerns about his ability to influence witnesses, his conduct before his arrest, the seriousness of the alleged offence and his ability to affect the outcome of the ongoing trial.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="6"/>The judge noted that while bail is generally the rule and jail the exception, the case involved a “premeditated and gruesome assault resulting in death”. The court said this was supported by the recovery of a firearm, video evidence and other material that is yet to be examined during the trial.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="8"/>Kumar’s counsel sought bail on the ground that circumstances had changed since his earlier bail was cancelled. The lawyer pointed out that Ashok Dhankad, Sagar’s father whose complaint had led to the earlier cancellation of bail, had not supported the prosecution’s case during the trial.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="12"/>The defence also argued that Kumar had already spent more than five years in custody and that only formal and official witnesses remained to be examined.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="14"/>Delhi Police and Dhankar’s father opposed the bail plea.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="16"/>The high court, however, said the defence’s claim that Sagar’s father had not supported the prosecution was disputed. It also referred to the Supreme Court’s earlier decision cancelling Kumar’s bail, in which it had noted his social standing and influence and the fact that witnesses had turned hostile whenever he was given temporary liberty.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="19"/>“Whether the deposition of Ashok Dhankad (deceased’s father) does or does not support the prosecution is, moreover, a matter of appreciation of evidence that must await the outcome by the trial court. It cannot be treated as a change in circumstances sufficient to unlock the door that the Supreme Court closed,” the court said.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="21"/>“In these circumstances, this court is not persuaded that the petitioner has made out a case either for a genuine change in circumstances within the meaning of the liberty reserved by the Supreme Court, or, independently, for the grant of regular bail,” it concluded.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="24"/>Kumar was arrested in May 2021. A sessions court later granted him one week’s interim bail for knee surgery on July 19, 2023.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="26"/>The Supreme Court cancelled his bail on August 13, 2025, setting aside a Delhi high court order.

Over more than two decades in the Hindi film industry, the actor has moved across genres and mediums rather than following the traditional trajectory often associated with actresses starting out.<!-- --> In an interview recently, Dhupia reflected on her unconventional career path, the opportunities she received, the changing culture of film sets and her views on actors travelling with large entourages.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="4"/></p> <p><h2>Neha Dhupia on carving her own path in Bollywood</h2> </p> <p>Reflecting on this journey in a conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Neha said, “It was not really unique. Maybe back then it was aspirational, but I didn’t have those many opportunities. If you look at it in reverse, it was like carving your own path. <!-- -->My mum always says, ‘Jo hota hai, acche ke liye hota hai’. There’s always a reason for it. What that reason is, where you’re going with it, what’s going to happen, no one knows.<!-- --> Maybe, 20 years later, now I feel I did the right thing because you are paying that compliment to me. Back then, I was not so calculative in my 20s.”<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="11"/>Speaking about her long journey in the industry, Neha expressed deep gratitude for everything it has given her over the years. She said, “I feel like my entire life has been about playing the waiting game. I am doing the same with this one as well. You are always hoping that something interesting happens. The only thing I wish for now, in the real world, is that every job I do leads me to another interesting job and an interesting set of people – sometimes the same ones and sometimes different ones.<!-- --> But there’s no other place I want to be. I have no regrets and no anger. I never say, ‘Yeh industry ne mujhe yeh nahin diya ya woh nahin diya.’ Industry ne mujhe sab diya hai. It gave me a face, it gave me a voice, it gave me a name, it made me a brand. It made me public, it domesticated me – all of it. And I just love it. There’s no business like show business!”<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="16"/></p> <p><h2>Neha Dhupia calls big entourages ‘very stifling’</h2> </p> <p>When Neha Dhupia started out 23 years ago, vanity vans had only just become commonplace, while the term “entourage” was virtually unheard of. <!-- -->Asked for her views on the ongoing debate around actors travelling with large entourages, Neha shared a firm stance rooted in her own experience. She said, “We did have vanity vans even then, but we didn’t have big entourages. I find big entourages very stifling. And my views stay the same.<!-- --> I have always managed with a small entourage. I don’t think an actor’s ability or talent is defined by the number of people he or she travels with or arrives on a set with. <!-- -->In fact, the more you declutter yourself, the better your ability to perform.”<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="25"/></p> <p><h2>More about Neha Dhupia starrer ’52 Blue’</h2> </p> <p>Directed by acclaimed Egyptian filmmaker Ali El Arabi, 52 Blue is an international coming-of-age drama that follows Ashish (Yadav Shashidhar), a lonely young man from Kerala who leaves home in pursuit of his dream of meeting his idol, <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/lionel-messi" styleobj="[object Object]" class="" commonstate="[object Object]" frmappuse="1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lionel Messi</a>, during the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

The meeting came after the successful launch of Nisar, the joint Nasa-Isro Synthetic Aperture Radar mission, last year.

A senior figure associated with one of the charity’s partner organisations was arrested in Britain in a US terrorism-financing case, triggering the investigation.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="2"/>The Al-Khair Foundation, which reported more than £74 million in income in the year to July 2025, became the subject of a statutory inquiry by the Charity Commission on Friday. Counter <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/terrorism" styleobj="[object Object]" class="" commonstate="[object Object]" frmappuse="1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Terrorism</a> Policing London has also opened an investigation and searched two properties in Croydon. No arrests have been made in the UK investigation.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="6"/>The developments followed the July 31 arrest in Britain of Mohammad Yousef Hasna, a Turkish national whom US authorities accused of conspiring to provide money and supplies to Hamas. <!-- -->The US Department of Justice has not publicly named the organisation it describes in its case as a “sham charity”, while the Al-Khair Foundation says Hasna was employed by one of its implementing partners rather than by the foundation itself.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="11"/>According to the US case, Hasna allegedly used his position at a purported humanitarian organisation to coordinate with senior Hamas figures over fundraising and the movement of goods into Gaza. Investigators allege that he and a senior Hamas official discussed sending truckloads of purported humanitarian aid to warehouses controlled by Hamas before distribution in Gaza.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="15"/>The US allegations also centre on encrypted messages allegedly exchanged between Hasna and Ghazi Hamad, described by investigators as a senior Hamas leader. The messages allegedly showed discussions about fundraising, commodities and using the charity’s name and warehouses to facilitate deliveries. <!-- -->US investigators further allege that Hasna altered photographs and documents to conceal Hamas’s alleged role as the beneficiary.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="19"/>The case has put a spotlight on the scale of Al-Khair’s operations. The Telegraph reported that the charity’s income had risen from about £31.3 million to £74.8 million after the October 7 Hamas attacks, while Charity Commission data showed it received more than £130 million in donations and legacies during 2024 and 2025. <!-- -->The charity has also claimed more than £9 million in Gift Aid over five years, according to the Telegraph.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="23"/>The Charity Commission said its inquiry will examine how closely Hasna was connected to Al-Khair, whether trustees properly vetted international partners and whether the charity adequately monitored how its funds were used overseas. The regulator has also restricted certain financial transactions by the foundation without its prior consent.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="26"/>The investigation also follows earlier scrutiny of the charity’s work in Gaza. The Telegraph reported that the Israeli military said in 2024 that one of Al-Khair’s workers, Hossam Mansour, had been killed while allegedly serving as a Hamas platoon commander. Al-Khair disputed that characterisation, describing Mansour as a senior aid worker involved in humanitarian work.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="28"/>Al-Khair has denied wrongdoing and said it is cooperating with the authorities. <!-- -->The foundation said its work in Gaza has included food, hot meals, clean water, medical assistance, shelter materials and support for orphans and families. It said it maintains governance and compliance systems intended to ensure that aid reaches its beneficiaries.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="33"/>Hasna, meanwhile, remains in UK custody pending extradition proceedings to the United States, where he faces charges including conspiring to provide material support to Hamas, conspiring to finance terrorism and financing terrorism. <!-- -->Each charge carries a maximum sentence of 20 years, according to the US Justice Department.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="37"/>The UK investigation is separate from the US criminal case. Counter Terrorism Policing said its inquiries are continuing and that it remains in contact with the Charity Commission and US authorities. The Charity Commission stressed that it cannot investigate criminal matters itself and would refer evidence of criminal activity to police.</div> <p><br /> <br /><a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/uk/uk-muslim-charity-under-terror-probe-over-alleged-hamas-ties-after-senior-figure-arrested-in-us-case/articleshow/133152968.cms" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Source link </a></p> </div> </article></div><div class="col-md-6 col-12"><article class="swiper-slide post-items"> <figure class="post-image"> <div class="featured-image"> <a href="javascript:void(0);" class="blog-img"> <img src="https://chetana.live/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/rbi-governor-sanjay-malhotra.jpg" class="img-fluid" alt="RBI guv asks banks to build meaningful human oversight, says blaming technology is ‘unacceptable’"> </a> <div class="author-date"> <span class="post-date"> <a href="https://chetana.live/?m=20260811"> <time datetime="2026-08-11" class="meta-info"> <span class="blog-date">11</span> <span class="month">AUG</span> <span class="year">2026</span> </time> </a> </span> <a href="https://chetana.live/author/admin" class="post-author"> <img alt='' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/4333a2c39aab83f81a283648dd2d09514a88ee0b4fa04e2ad127a8d5b25d14b4?s=96&d=mm&r=g' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/4333a2c39aab83f81a283648dd2d09514a88ee0b4fa04e2ad127a8d5b25d14b4?s=192&d=mm&r=g 2x' class='avatar avatar-96 photo' height='96' width='96' loading='lazy' decoding='async'/> </a> </div> </div> </figure> <div class="post-content"> <div class="post-meta"> <span class="author-name"> <i class="fa fa-user"></i> <a href="https://chetana.live/author/admin">admin</a> </span> <span class="blog-category"> <i class="fa fa-folder-open"></i> <a href="https://chetana.live/?cat=5" rel="category">ଦେଶ ବିଦେଶ</a> </span> <span class="post-tags"> <i class="fa fa-tags"></i> </span> </div> <h5 class="post-title"><a href="https://chetana.live/?p=294" class="ellipsis" rel="bookmark">RBI guv asks banks to build meaningful human oversight, says blaming technology is ‘unacceptable’</a></h5><p><br /> </p> <div> <div class="e9jwa"> <div class="vdo_embedd"> <div class="GfdvZ"> <section class="_bIDB clearfix id-r-component leadmedia undefined undefined E9tg9 " style="top:0px"> <div class="_bIDB" data-ua-type="1" onclick="stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)"> <div class="ypVvZ"> <div class="WGttI"><img src="https://static.toiimg.com/thumb/msid-133152941,imgsize-62264,width-400,height-225,resizemode-4/rbi-governor-sanjay-malhotra.jpg" alt="RBI guv asks banks to build meaningful human oversight, says blaming technology is 'unacceptable'" title="RBI guv tells banks to build meaningful human oversight into AI" decoding="async" fetchpriority="high"/></div> </div> </div> <div class="Ta7d_ img_cptn"><span title="RBI guv tells banks to build meaningful human oversight into AI">RBI guv tells banks to build meaningful human oversight into AI</span></div> </section> </div></div> </div> <p>Banks must ensure that humans remain accountable for decisions made with the help of artificial intelligence, Reserve Bank governor Sanjay Malhotra said on Tuesday, warning lenders against treating algorithms or technology vendors as responsible for their actions.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="2"/>Speaking at the annual Fibac event in the financial capital, Malhotra said banks adopting AI must ensure that the technology supports human judgement rather than simply replacing it.

A relationship manager equipped with an AI system that identifies the appropriate product and highlights the relevant risk flag, he said, could serve more customers efficiently.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="29"/></p> <p><h2>Cyber security, bias among AI risks</h2> </p> <p><span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="32"/>The governor also highlighted risks that banks could face as they expand their use of AI. <!-- -->Cyber security is one of them, with Malhotra referring to a recent incident involving AI itself attacking the system.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="36"/>Biases within AI models are another concern. Malhotra warned that models could develop preferences for or against particular geographies, occupations or even communities.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="38"/>He also cautioned against “herding”, which could emerge if a small number of financial models or technology vendors end up supplying platforms across the system. <!-- -->A bias could then be perpetuated across the system, he said.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="42"/>Malhotra asked banks to approach data privacy as a responsibility that goes beyond merely meeting legal requirements. Lenders must also strengthen their management of AI-related risks while working with external partners.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="45"/>AI platforms, he said, should also be capable of explaining why they recommend a particular decision on a proposal.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="47"/></p> <p><h2>RBI seeks inventory of AI models</h2> </p> <p><span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="49"/>Malhotra said the RBI should know which models are actually operating within banks and asked lenders to maintain a complete inventory of them.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="52"/>Banks should also have a board-approved AI governance policy that establishes clear accountability for outcomes, rather than focusing only on the procurement of technology, he said.<span class="id-r-component br" data-pos="54"/>Meaningful human oversight must be retained at every stage where an error by an AI system could cause material harm to a customer or raise concerns about financial stability, Malhotra said.</div> <p><br /> <br /><a
