Japans mission to bring Phobos home
INDIA NEWS | Tue, 20 Oct 2026, 9:47AM IST
Minamitane: Japan launched an uncrewed spacecraft toward the Martian moon Phobos on Tuesday on a mission intended to become the first to collect samples from the small rocky body and return them to Earth for analysis.The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's Martian Moons eXploration spacecraft lifted off aboard an H3 rocket before dawn from the Tanegashima Space Center in southwestern Japan.The spacecraft is expected to reach Mars in August 2027 and return samples to Earth in 2031. JAXA hopes the mission will shed light on the origin of the two moons of Mars and deepen the understanding of our solar system's early stages.Phobos, the larger of the two Martian moons, orbits the planet three times a day. Phobos has an irregular shape with dimensions of about 27 km by 22 km by 18 km (17 miles by 14 miles by 11 miles), and orbits roughly 6,000 km (3,700 miles) above the Martian surface.JAXA aims to collect at least 10 grammes of material from its surface and return it to Earth for analysis.The launch marked the first interplanetary mission for Japan's H3 rocket. The country's flagship launcher experienced a high-profile failure on its inaugural flight in 2023 when its second-stage engine failed to ignite, but has since completed a series of mostly successful launches.

OpenAI eyes funds before Anthropic IPO
INDIA NEWS | Tue, 20 Oct 2026, 7:40AM IST
New York: OpenAI is racing to secure investor commitments before rival Anthropic's expected public market debut in mid-November, in an unusually fast fundraising that could value the ChatGPT maker at over $1.4 trillion, according to two people familiar with the matter.The rapid timetable reflects, in part, a desire to get ahead of Anthropic as the two frontier labs are increasingly tapping in to a similar investor base, the people said, adding that OpenAI wants to capitalize on its recent revenue growth after launching new models. SoftBank Group, Abu Dhabi-based MGX and other existing backers of OpenAI are in talks to join the round of about $30 billion, one of the people said.Also read: Ex-OpenAI employee accused of planting device appears to have Saudi backing: court filingThe acceleration underscores how closely the two AI developers are competing for capital as both pursue trillion-dollar price tags, amid growing concern about rising interest rates, significant volatility in technology stocks and rising scrutiny of AI valuations.OpenAI held meetings with long-only funds and sovereign wealth funds last week while Anthropic was hosting its own investor day. OpenAI's funding round is expected to move faster than is typical for an offering of its size, the people said.Investors familiar with the company say OpenAI also needs capital to fund its substantial infrastructure commitments and bolster its balance sheet if a deterioration in the IPO markets further delays its planned 2027 listing.Though there is high demand for the shares of both companies, investors face the challenge of evaluating and allocating capital to two complex, competing offerings within days or weeks of each other. Some investors view OpenAI's financing push as an effort to lock in capital from funds that might otherwise devote more of their resources to Anthropic's IPO, the people said.OpenAI and SoftBank declined to comment. Anthropic and MGX did not immediately respond to requests for comment.TRYING TO HEAD OFF COMPARISONSOpenAI is pitching investors on growth that accelerated after the launch of its GPT-6 Astra model, saying it had reached $50 billion in annualized revenue and expecting that figure to rise to $70 billion by year-end, according to one of the people.OpenAI has also cut prices on its cheaper models, which it said has boosted usage, and told investors it can further lower the price of AI models, the person added.Anthropic's annualized revenue reached roughly $65 billion by July, Reuters previously reported. Its quarterly revenue jumped to $16.8 billion in the third quarter from $11.6 billion in the second quarter this year, it told investors, but slowing month-to-month revenue growth has raised concerns among investors about its valuation.OpenAI is seeking to complete the fundraising before Anthropic's financial disclosures give investors a fuller picture of its business and invite comparisons between the two companies, one person said.Also read: OpenAIs IPO dream may shatter with sistress sale to MSThe disclosures could prompt investors to press OpenAI Chief Financial Officer Sarah Friar for more details about the company's revenue growth and financial outlook, the person added. OpenAI records revenue on a net basis by subtracting partner shares upfront. It has accused Anthropic of inflating its revenue by counting the full, gross value of contracts sold through third-party cloud providers. Anthropic told Reuters earlier that it follows established accounting practices."OpenAI could want to set its own valuation and not have to worry about a comp (comparison)," said Edward Best, co-chair of capital markets at Willkie Farr & Gallagher, who is not working on the deal and commented on a hypothetical basis. "It's really a two-horse race in terms of being public."OpenAI was last valued at $852 billion in March this year, after a record-breaking $122 billion funding round, including a commitment from Amazon.com, which agreed to invest up to $50 billion in the lab.The Financial Times previously reported some details of OpenAI's potential fundraising.IPO PLANS HIT BY MARKET JITTERSA number of companies preparing to go public have decided to wait until after Anthropic's planned IPO, wary of competing for investor demand amid market volatility and a pullback in AI stocks, bankers and investors said. Some late-stage companies are also timing private fundraising rounds to avoid coinciding with Anthropic's expected debut, the bankers and investors said.Some existing and prospective Anthropic investors have argued for a valuation closer to $1.5 trillion for its market debut - instead of the desired $2 trillion - after the AI startup's third-quarter results fell short of expectations, Reuters reported last week.The reassessment comes amid a choppy market since September, with volatility in oil prices, rising bond yields and growing concerns about AI safety weighing on investor appetite for technology stocks. Investors are also scrutinizing the cost of AI infrastructure, including the debt needed to finance the data centers powering the boom.At the center of the latest concerns is cloud provider CoreWeave, whose shares and debt tumbled last week as investors scrutinized the nearly $50 billion in borrowings used to fund its rapid expansion.The uncertainty has disrupted what had been expected to be a busy autumn for IPOs, with companies reassessing their listing plans amid market volatility and concerns about valuations. Blackstone-backed AirTrunk REIT, Nvidia -backed Firmus and SoftBank-backed SB Energy have either pulled or paused their listings.Nuclear services company Holtec cited a "perfect storm," driven mainly by uncertainty around data-center demand, when it pulled its US listing last month.Companies in the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index, widely viewed as a proxy for AI-related semiconductor demand, have shed $1.6 trillion in less than two weeks, while AI infrastructure companies have come under particular pressure.

Trump seizes on France unrest for political gain
INDIA NEWS | Tue, 20 Oct 2026, 7:08AM IST
Washington: US President Donald Trump used the protests roiling France to score some quick political points Monday, as the upcoming midterm elections force his Republican party to face strong headwinds.While speaking with reporters Trump recalled an exchange with his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron: "I told him a long time ago, you're making a big mistake in France. You're letting everybody from the world come in...Paris is going to be a Muslim city very soon."Earlier Monday, the 80-year-old president wrote on his Truth Social platform: "The migrants have taken over France. They must CLOSE THE BORDERS, FAST!"Cost-of-living demonstrations broke out across France over the weekend, with many devolving into looting and violent conflict, prompting officials to institute partial curfews Monday.While the French protests were inspired by soaring inflation, Trump has molded the violent clashes with police into evidence in favor of the anti-immigration policies he used to successfully campaign for reelection in 2024."They're taking this French crisis and turning it into a campaign argument," JC Lintzenich, a senior fellow with the German Marshall Fund think tank, told AFP.Conservative talking pointsOpinion polls heavily favor Trump's rival Democratic Party in the November 3 midterm elections, which will determine who will take control of Congress.With just two weeks to go before Americans go to the polls, Trump has grasped any strategy he can to compel voters to support the Republican party and his Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement."Since the beginning of the MAGA movement, Europe has been an extension of the US political battlefield, so it's not surprising that when there are events like the unrest from October 17, the political machine gets moving," Justin Vaisse, a professor of US foreign policy at Johns Hopkins University, told AFP.As videos of France's unrest began surfacing on social media, Trump's Vice President JD Vance wrote Saturday on X: "Western liberals imported the third world into France...they ignored fundamental questions of assimilation and compatibility."Right-wing US media personalities, including Glenn Beck, Benny Johnson, Nick Sortor and Jack Posobiec made similar points, blaming immigrants from Muslim-majority countries for causing a crisis in Western identity."The riots are viewed as validation of the warnings against immigration in general and Muslim immigration, if such a thing exists," Vaisse said.Celia Belin, a senior policy fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations and head of its Paris office, views the commentary as an "export of domestic policies" from a US administration that openly supports nationalist parties in Europe.She told AFP that Trump and his allies "rushed into this argument, the same one that Vance had presented in Munich" in 2025, in a controversial speech described as a US culture war against Europe, with the goal of "fanning the flames."Polling prioritiesExperts note that this rhetorical strategy, while it may have succeeded in 2024, is not necessarily what US voters want to hear these days."When you look at the campaign ads here -- I'm in South Carolina right now -- it's about healthcare, domestic issues," Lintzenich said."The international element is a blip on the radar, and Ukraine, and Iran, and other ongoing national security issues rate higher than the current French instability," he continued.A Pew Research poll this month found the economy plays an important role in the choice of 82 percent of US voters, a far higher number than immigration (59 percent) or race-related issues (36 percent).Though Trump has followed through on his 2024 campaign promise to crack down on immigration, he has fared less successfully on his other promise to tamp down on inflation, with his tariff policies and war with Iran spiking prices across the economy, plunging his approval rating to record lows.Vaisse said using linking US identitarian rhetoric with the events in France "is not going to win a single vote" for Republicans, though it could "mobilize the base" to vote.
