Telegram CEO Says He'll Leave Fortune To 100 Kids Born Via Sperm Donation

Telegram founder Pavel Durov has revealed plans to divide his nearly $20 billion fortune among 100 children he fathered through sperm donations. According to Durov, this arrangement is detailed in his will, which also includes provisions for his six children with three partners. Durov, known for his conflicts with the Kremlin over free speech issues, was charged last year by French authorities for allegedly allowing illegal activities like sex abuse and drug trafficking on his encrypted messaging platform, charges he denies. The billionaire shared these details in an interview with France's Le Point magazine , explaining that the 100 children were born across 12 countries over the past 15 years through sperm donations. When asked about the role of family in his life, Pavel Durov emphasised its great importance. He recently wrote his will, deciding that his children will not have access to his fortune for 30 years. He wants them to live independently, build their paths, and not r...

Know All About Apple's New Liquid Glass Design Language

At the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2025, Apple introduced the first major redesign of its platforms since iOS 7 in 2013. Dubbed Liquid Glass, the new design language brings in a translucent material for elements which behaves as glass in real-time. With this, the Cupertino-based tech giant is redesigning iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS Tahoe 26, watchOS 26, and tvOS 26. This new user interface not only impacts the system elements and those on the home screen, but also the company's first-party apps.

What is the Liquid Glass Design Language?

In a blog post, the tech giant detailed the new design language and said that it is inspired by “the depth and dimensionality of visionOS,” and it uses new graphics technologies. The central focus of the design is the glass-like material, which reflects and refracts the colour of whatever content appears in the background.

Apple said this effect was created by letting the material render the background shapes and colours in real-time and by dynamically reacting to movements. The material, which is said to intelligently adapt between light and dark environments, is said to have been developed after a collaboration between the company's design and engineering teams.

The company has used the Liquid Glass material in smaller elements such as buttons, switches, sliders, text, and media controls, as well as larger elements such as tab bars and sidebars. It is also visible on the Lock Screen, Home Screen, notifications, Control Centre, and more.

The redesign also brings other changes to the user interface. Apple has reconfigured the toolbars, tab bars, sidebars and app windows with rounded corners, ditching the previous rectangular edges. In-app controls are also made of Liquid Glass, and they are positioned above apps. These controls also expand when the user needs more options.

Additionally, sidebars in the updated iPadOS and macOS are made of Liquid Glass, and as the user scrolls up or down, the bars expand and reflect the content behind them. At the same time, the content around the bar is refracted around the edge of the element. The new design elements are present on multiple first-party apps, including Camera, Photos, Safari, FaceTime, Apple Music, Apple News, and Apple Podcasts.

Customisability has also been increased with the new design language. On macOS Tahoe 26, users can customise the desktop and Dock with widgets and app icons that feature new light and dark tints. Additionally, across all platforms, apps are also getting a new, clear look. To complement the appearance, a new transparent menu bar on Mac is also being added with this upcoming update.

Biden Orders US Military To Shoot Down Iranian Missiles Targeting Israel

President Joe Biden has ordered the US military to "aid Israel's defense" and shoot down any and all Iranian missiles targeting Israel, the White House said. President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee in next month's US presidential election, are both monitoring Iran's attack on Israel from the White House situation room, it said. "President Biden directed the US military to aid Israel's defense against Iranian attacks and shoot down missiles that are targeting Israel," the White House said in a statement. A call that Joe Biden had scheduled with rabbis today ahead of the Jewish high holiday season - which begins later this week with Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year - had been postponed to another day, a White House official said. The United States and other western allies also stepped in to help defend Israel against a combined Iranian missile and drone attack in April, which Tehran launched in retaliation for an ...

US Reopens Lake Michigan Airspace After Closure Over "National Defense"

US officials restricted the airspace over Lake Michigan on Sunday citing a potential new threat to national security but soon reopened the skies, as the United States and Canada respond to multiple air intrusions. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced "temporary flight restrictions" over one of the Great Lakes along the US-Canada border, designating it as "national defense airspace," one day after a similar closure over Montana led to the scrambling of US fighter jets. The Montana closure was ordered over a "radar anomaly," but no object was discovered. Similarly, the Lake Michigan restrictions were lifted shortly after they were announced, apparently with no threat detected. "The FAA briefly closed some airspace over Lake Michigan to support Department of Defense activities. The airspace has been reopened," the agency said in a statement to AFP. Sunday's action over Lake Michigan marked the latest move to address a series ...
