If the idea of robots taking on humans in a road race conjures dystopian images of android athletic supremacy, then fear not, for now at least.

More than 20 two-legged robots competed in the world’s first humanoid half-marathon in China on Saturday, and – though technologically impressive – they were far from outrunning their human masters over the long distance.

Teams from several companies and universities took part in the race, a showcase of China’s advances on humanoid technology as it plays catch-up with the US, which still boasts the more sophisticated models. themorning.lk/articles/vE3KR…

US and Iranian delegations will gather in Rome Saturday for a second round of high-level talks on Tehran’s nuclear program amid tempered optimism about a diplomatic way forward.

Saturday’s negotiations come a week after an initial round was held in Muscat. Although the talks are in Italy, Oman is again expected to serve as mediator between the US team, led by Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, and the Iranian one, led by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.

It is a high-stakes engagement, and one that has been preceded by a flurry of diplomatic activity as allies and adversaries alike seek to both understand and potentially influence the aims of the talks. themorning.lk/articles/WNKhM…

The death toll from a boat fire and capsizing in the Democratic Republic of Congo earlier this week has risen to 148 with more than 100 people still missing, officials said on Friday.

About 500 passengers were on board the wooden boat when it capsized on Tuesday after catching fire on the Congo River in the country’s north-west.

The catastrophe began when a fire started while a person was cooking on board the vessel, said Compétent Loyoko, the river commissioner. Several passengers, including women and children, died after jumping into the water without being able to swim. themorning.lk/articles/ytTxT…

After India shared its concerns with Sri Lanka, Colombo has cancelled the proposed military exercise with the Pakistan Navy in the strategic waters of Trincomalee, news agency PTI reports, quoting sources. According to the sources, the Sri Lanka and Pakistan navies planned to carry out the exercise off Trincomalee, which was in line with their regular engagements. The plan did not go through after India apprised its apprehensions over the exercise to the Sri Lankan side.

The navy exercise was planned weeks before Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Sri Lanka. Notably, there was no official word on the plan from Islamabad or Colombo.

Situated on Sri Lanka's northeastern coast, Trincomalee is significant for India's maritime security interests. It has the potential to dominate the Bay of Bengal and much of the northeast Indian Ocean, and New Delhi was right in expressing concerns over the proposed exercise. themorning.lk/articles/C6U33…
