People’s Daily: AI Opens New Horizons for Collaboration with the United States

Written by space4knews on . Posted in International. No Comments on People’s Daily: AI Opens New Horizons for Collaboration with the United States

The Chinese Communist Party’s official newspaper, People’s Daily, has described artificial intelligence as a new horizon for collaboration with the United States. According to an understanding between the Chinese and American presidents, both countries have agreed to establish a government-level dialogue mechanism in the field of AI technology. China criticized US controls on chip exports, alleging an attempt to politicize AI technology and use it as a weapon.

May 31, Kathmandu – People’s Daily has defined artificial intelligence (AI) as a “new horizon” for cooperation with the United States. In an editorial published Monday, the newspaper outlined Beijing’s clear perspective on how AI technology can connect the bilateral relations between the two nations. This commentary comes against the backdrop of an agreement reached between Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump during Trump’s visit to China last month.

The editorial states that the world does not want any kind of “iron curtain” in the AI sector or attempts to divide this technology among competing power centers. Instead of turning AI into a new front of complete technological decoupling, the Chinese media argues that it should be considered a field where competition and cooperation can advance simultaneously.

Prime Minister Balendra Shah’s Statement on ‘Land Encroachment’ Sparks Controversy, Opposition Demands Removal from Parliamentary Records

Written by space4knews on . Posted in News. No Comments on Prime Minister Balendra Shah’s Statement on ‘Land Encroachment’ Sparks Controversy, Opposition Demands Removal from Parliamentary Records

Prime Minister Balendra Shah’s statement alleging that India has “encroached on Nepalese land” has sparked significant controversy. Opposition parties have condemned the remark as “against national sovereignty” and have demanded its immediate removal from parliamentary records, urging the Prime Minister to provide further clarification. The comment made by the Prime Minister on Sunday has been criticized as controversial, with opposition leaders calling it “irresponsible” and insisting that it must be corrected without delay.

On Monday afternoon, opposition parties held a joint meeting and disrupted parliamentary proceedings in protest. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in a statement issued Sunday evening, clarified that the Prime Minister’s comment primarily related to the encroachment on the Dashgaja area and the issue of “cross-border occupation” of lands beyond the national boundary. The opposition Communist Party of Nepal (UML) has also organized protests against the statement on the streets.

So far, there has been no response from the ruling party, the Nepal government, or Prime Minister Balendra Shah regarding the opposition’s demands. At the start of the House of Representatives session, all members of parliament stood in protest. Nepali Congress MP Niskal Rai described the Prime Minister’s remark as “extremely immature,” adding, “That statement has been recorded in the parliamentary record and sets a dangerous precedent.” He warned that such comments against the national interest put Nepal at risk of being labeled a “border encroacher” and stated that unless the statement is corrected, his party cannot cooperate with the government.

Written by space4knews on . Posted in Sports. No Comments on Top Contenders for the Golden Boot at FIFA World Cup 2026

News Summary

Editorially verified.

  • The FIFA World Cup 2026 will feature 48 nations competing for the first time, introducing additional knockout round matches.
  • The leading contenders for the Golden Boot, awarded to the top goal scorer, include Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappé, and Lionel Messi.
  • Manchester City forward Erling Haaland makes his World Cup debut, while Cristiano Ronaldo prepares for his final tournament with Portugal.

June 1, Kathmandu – With just over a week remaining until the start of the FIFA World Cup 2026, anticipation and excitement continue to build around the tournament.

Just as much attention focuses on which nation will lift the trophy, there is keen interest in which player will score the most goals and claim the prestigious Golden Boot.

For the first time, 48 countries will compete in this World Cup, making it the largest in history. With more teams and matches, the race for the Golden Boot looks highly competitive.

The tournament format now includes a round of 32 in the knockout phase, meaning teams have more opportunities to play elimination matches. This also boosts the chances for players to score more goals individually.

Considering players’ past World Cup performances, club football form, qualifying round achievements, and the anticipated structure of matches in the upcoming tournament, this article discusses some of the top Golden Boot contenders.

Top 5 Golden Boot Contenders

Harry Kane (England)

Harry Kane won the Golden Boot at the 2018 World Cup but managed only 2 goals and 3 assists at the 2022 Qatar edition.

Currently shining at club level, Kane, England’s captain and forward, is considered a leading candidate to be the highest goal scorer and claim the Golden Boot this World Cup.

Playing for German club Bayern Munich, Kane scored 36 goals in 31 Bundesliga matches during the 2025-26 season. He also netted 14 times in the Champions League, totaling 61 goals and 7 assists in 55 matches.

Widely regarded as one of Europe’s most lethal strikers, Kane is at the peak of his career. If he can carry this form into international duty, he is poised to score heavily in the tournament.

England will compete in Group L alongside Croatia, Ghana, and Panama. With strong chances of advancing to the knockout stage, Kane has the opportunity to solidify his Golden Boot ambitions.

Kylian Mbappé (France)

France’s captain forward, Kylian Mbappé, was the top goal scorer of the 2022 Qatar World Cup, claiming the Golden Boot with 8 goals.

Mbappé, who continues his excellent form for both club and country, is again one of the leading contenders for the Golden Boot.

Four years ago, he scored a hat-trick in the final against Argentina, showcasing his tremendous scoring ability. He also provided 2 assists during the tournament.

For club football, Mbappé scored 42 goals in the 2025-26 season for Real Madrid. Despite some injury setbacks, he has proven to be one of the world’s most dangerous strikers, consistently delivering in big games.

France will face Senegal, Norway, and Iraq in Group I, and is widely expected to advance to the knockout rounds, strengthening Mbappé’s Golden Boot credentials.

Erling Haaland (Norway)

Erling Haaland is highly anticipated as a major World Cup prospect. Known as a goal-scoring machine in club football, this will be his first World Cup appearance, generating significant excitement.

Playing in the Premier League with Manchester City, Haaland recently won the Golden Boot for the season. He scored 8 goals in 10 Champions League matches and totaled 38 goals and 9 assists in 52 games across all competitions.

He was also the top scorer in World Cup 2026 qualifiers with 16 goals, further emphasizing his striker qualities.

Norway is returning to the World Cup after 28 years, and their progress will heavily depend on Haaland’s performances. Norway will compete in Group I alongside France, Senegal, and Iraq.

Lionel Messi (Argentina)

Lionel Messi needs little introduction. Captain and star of Argentina’s 2022 World Cup winning team, Messi currently plays club football in the United States, where the upcoming World Cup will also take place.

At 38, Messi remains a key goal scorer for the national team, currently playing for Inter Miami in Major League Soccer.

Although Messi has won the FIFA Ballon d’Or twice, he has yet to claim the Golden Boot. He scored 7 goals and made 3 assists in the Qatar World Cup, finishing second in scoring.

Argentina, placed in Group J with Algeria, Austria, and Jordan, is favored to advance comfortably. As this will be Messi’s final World Cup, he aims to make it memorable and add the Golden Boot to his accolades. His role as the primary penalty and free-kick taker also enhances his scoring potential.

Vinícius Júnior (Brazil)

Brazil, with a record five World Cup titles, has not won the trophy in 24 years. During this period, many players have competed but failed to secure another title for the nation. Neymar, despite playing in three World Cups, was unsuccessful.

If Brazil aims to regain the World Cup, Vinícius Júnior is expected to play a key role. Neymar, battling injuries, will attend his fourth World Cup, but the forward’s main responsibility might fall to Vinícius.

Playing for Spanish club Real Madrid, Vinícius scored 1 goal and provided 2 assists in the 2022 Qatar World Cup.

He scored 22 goals across all competitions last season, making this World Cup a crucial platform to prove himself. Brazil will face Morocco, Haiti, and Scotland in the group stage, with a strong likelihood of progressing to the knockout rounds.

Other Contenders

Beyond the five main candidates mentioned above, there is a long list of players expected to score many goals at the FIFA World Cup. These include Portugal’s star Cristiano Ronaldo and Spain’s young prodigy Lamine Yamal.

At 41, Ronaldo, playing in Saudi Arabia’s Pro League for Al Nassr, continues to serve as a goal scorer for Portugal. Although he scored only one goal in the Qatar World Cup, the nation’s all-time top scorer aims to make a significant impact in what will likely be his final World Cup.

Spain’s record-breaking young star Lamine Yamal, preparing for his first World Cup, has already set numerous records with his club and national team and aims for a hat-trick at the tournament.

Other potential high scorers include France’s Ousmane Dembélé, Argentina’s Julián Álvarez, Sweden’s Viktor Gyökeres, and Germany’s Denis Zakaria.

Demonstration Outside Madhesh Province Assembly: ‘Isn’t It Shameful? When Will the New Kamala Bridge Construction Begin?’

Written by space4knews on . Posted in Business. No Comments on Demonstration Outside Madhesh Province Assembly: ‘Isn’t It Shameful? When Will the New Kamala Bridge Construction Begin?’

May 31, Kathmandu – Local residents have staged protests demanding budget allocation for the construction of the Kamala Bridge, connecting Siraha and Dhanusha districts along the Hulaki Road. During the demonstration held Monday in front of the Madhesh Province Assembly, protesters raised slogans such as ‘Isn’t it shameful? When will the new Kamala Bridge construction begin?’

Banners bearing slogans like ‘How long must we wait on the federal government?’ and ‘Is this a provincial government or merely a branch of the federal government?’ were also visible during the protest.

Engineer Praveen Kumar Yadav, coordinator of the Hulaki-Kamala Struggle Committee, stated that they were compelled to launch the protest in response to the provincial government’s irresponsible comments regarding the Kamala Bridge construction. He explained, “Previously, we had submitted a memorandum to Chief Minister Krishnaprasad Yadav, but received an irresponsible response.” According to Yadav, the Chief Minister reportedly said, “Where should I get the Kamala Bridge constructed from? Sell your own property and build the bridge yourself.”

The federal government has allocated NPR 400 crore in the upcoming fiscal year’s budget for the construction of eight bridges along the Hulaki Road. However, the Kamala Bridge, which is under reconstruction, was not included in this allocation, prompting local residents to stage protests. They are now demanding that the provincial government include the Kamala Bridge in the budget. They have also warned that, if ignored, they will intensify their protests through phased movements.

The Kamala Bridge construction began 15 years ago but has made little progress after being damaged in the floods of 2021 (2078 BS).

Speaker Aryal shared his views in parliament, explaining that despite repeatedly urging opposition members for dialogue, he has been unable to find a suitable time for discussion. He emphasized that as Speaker, he has prioritized communication but has continued to face disregard from opposition factions.

Furthermore, Aryal asserted that the process to pass the House rules on Sunday was conducted properly, following constitutional and procedural guidelines. He clarified that his role as Speaker is limited to presenting amendments on bills for decision-making.

Successful Trial of New Syringe That Cures Cancer

Written by space4knews on . Posted in International. No Comments on Successful Trial of New Syringe That Cures Cancer

March 31, Kathmandu – Medical professionals have achieved a historic breakthrough in cancer treatment. A new injection, capable of completely eliminating tumors in some patients previously deemed untreatable, has undergone successful trials. Developed by Johnson & Johnson, this syringe named “Amivantamab” was clinically tested across 11 countries. The trials particularly targeted patients whose cancer had either spread to other parts of the body or recurred after previous treatments had failed.

Over one-third of the patients showed tumor shrinkage, with significant effects observed within just a few weeks of treatment. According to Professor Kevin Harrington of the London-based Institute of Cancer Research, 15 patients experienced complete disappearance of their tumors. He emphasized that achieving such strong results in patients where both chemotherapy and immunotherapy had failed is highly significant.

He further stated that the benefits seen in patients with no remaining treatment options are remarkable and this drug could potentially save thousands of lives annually. The trial involved 102 patients with head and neck cancers, which rank as the sixth most common type worldwide. Among them, 43 patients had tumor shrinkage or complete removal, 28 showed reduced tumor size, and 15 experienced full cancer eradication.

Beyond head and neck cancers, the drug has also demonstrated similarly positive effects in lung cancer patients. It acts by blocking proteins that promote cancer spread and activates the body’s immune system to fight tumors. Carl Walls, 56, who was diagnosed with tongue cancer in 2024 and began participating in the trial in 2025, expressed his satisfaction with the drug’s effect. Previously, seizures and pain had made speaking and eating difficult for him, but he is now leading a normal life.

Currently, approximately 60 clinical trials worldwide are ongoing to evaluate the effectiveness of this drug, focusing mainly on lung, brain, stomach, and colorectal cancers. The results of this groundbreaking research will be presented at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology in Chicago.

Prime Minister Balendra Shah’s recent statements in the House of Representatives about the Nepal-India border dispute have sparked heated discussion. A former Director General of the Survey Department warned that the Prime Minister’s comments on a dispute previously considered resolved might create complications.

Speaking in parliament on Sunday, the Prime Minister said, “India has encroached upon not only Nepal but also on Indian land situated within Nepal’s territory in many places.” Following a surge in controversy, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement clarifying that this statement principally pertains to ‘encroachments in the Dashgaja area’ and ‘cross-border occupation,’ meaning crossing the boundary to use land.

The Indian government has not officially responded to this issue; however, some Indian commentators on social media have reacted by emphasizing that Nepal has acknowledged the dispute is not one-sided. Indian media have also prioritized coverage of this problem.

Officials from the Survey Department have declined to comment on the Prime Minister’s remarks.

Retired Director General of the Survey Department, Punyaprasad Oli, stated, “Local residents may keep livestock or cultivate fields within areas that have already been demarcated; this is a straightforward issue. Simply asking them to remain within their territory is sufficient.”

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has suspended Cricket Canada with immediate effect, citing serious breaches of membership obligations. During the suspension period, Canada’s national teams will continue to participate in ICC events, prioritizing the welfare of the players.

Cricket Canada’s membership will only be reinstated once administrative and governance issues are addressed and compliance with ICC’s stipulated regulations is met.

Kathmandu, 30 May — The ICC has taken the step to suspend Cricket Canada due to violations of membership duties. The suspension was implemented while ensuring that the players’ interests remain central, allowing national teams to compete in ICC tournaments during this time.

The ICC will provide financial support to Cricket Canada for managing and developing national team programs. However, this funding will be strictly allocated to ICC-approved projects and will be directly monitored by the ICC.

Cricket Canada is required to resolve its administrative and governance challenges and meet the ICC’s conditions for reinstatement.

Only when all conditions are fully satisfied will Cricket Canada’s membership be reinstated, according to the ICC.

Malaysia Enforces New Law Banning Social Media Use for Children Under 16

Written by space4knews on . Posted in International. No Comments on Malaysia Enforces New Law Banning Social Media Use for Children Under 16

Malaysia has implemented a new law prohibiting children under the age of 16 from using social media platforms. Social media companies that violate this regulation face fines of up to 10 million Malaysian ringgit. The policy aims to create a safe digital environment to protect children from cyberbullying and mental stress.

Effective from Monday, the regulation states that children under 16 are not allowed to create or operate personal accounts on social media. Under the new rules, social media operators must mandate age verification for users. Companies will also be responsible for blocking and identifying accounts registered by children under 16.

This law applies to major social media platforms with millions of users such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Companies found violating the rule can be fined up to 10 million Malaysian ringgit. The Malaysian government stated that this measure is intended to protect children from harmful online content, cyberbullying, mental pressure, and excessive social media use.

According to the government, stricter measures became necessary due to the increasing online risks faced by children over recent years. While children who attempt to circumvent this rule by opening accounts will not lead to legal action against their parents, the government’s primary focus is to hold social media companies accountable. Malaysia’s Communications and Multimedia Commission clarified that this policy is not designed to keep children away from the internet but to create a safe and age-appropriate digital environment for them.
