Ex-prince Andrew arrested over misconduct amid Epstein row, Macron hails Rafale boost to India, and more

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew, has been arrested by UK police at the Sandringham estate. The arrest is on suspicion of misconduct in public office, linked to allegations of sharing sensitive government data with Jeffrey Epstein while serving as a UK trade envoy. This development coincides with the India AI Impact Summit in Delhi, where global leaders convened. At the summit, French President Emmanuel Macron defended the Rafale fighter jet deal, stating it strengthens India and affirming a commitment to 'Made in India' manufacturing. Prime Minister Narendra Modi introduced the 'MANAV' framework, a human-centric blueprint for AI governance emphasizing morality, accountability, and national sovereignty. The summit also featured the launch of 'Sarvam,' India's first sovereign generative AI platform supporting 22 Indian languages. Meanwhile, Microsoft founder Bill Gates withdrew from his keynote address at the summit after his name appeared in the Epstein files, with his foundation citing a desire to keep the focus on AI priorities.
