The University of Sydney has argued that an article written by a staff member that criticises Zionism was not racist against Jewish people because “Zionism is, at its core, a political concept”.
The argument was heard in the federal court on Monday as part of a racial discrimination case taken by academics against two of their colleagues and the university, in what is being considered a major test case for hate speech in Australia.
6th edition of India-Indonesia Air Force Staff talks strengthens ties, enhances strategic cooperation
Bali, October 13, 2025: The Indian and Indonesian Air Forces concluded their sixth round of staff talks on October 10, focusing on enhancing operational synergy through collaborative initiatives. The Indonesian Air Force announced that both nations agreed on multiple areas of cooperation, including the establishment of the Su-30 Forum for coordination and joint training. Furthermore, plans were made to develop an air-to-air refueling program that would incorporate India’s tanker aircraft alongside Indonesia’s fighter jets, reports 24brussels.
The talks, co-chaired by Air Vice Marshal Sundaramani Krishnan from the Indian Air Force and Air Vice Marshal Suliono of the Indonesian Air Force, emphasized a shared commitment to advancing military collaboration. The Indian Air Force’s Media Coordination Centre stated on X, “The 6th edition of Indian Air Force & Indonesian Air Force Air Staff Talks were held at Bali from October 7 to 10, reinforcing growing synergy between the two forces through enhanced collaboration in training and various other domains.”
The Indonesian Air Force subsequently detailed several strategic commitments made during the staff talks. These included the formation of the Su-30 Forum and the air-to-air refueling initiative, aimed at increasing interoperability and military readiness. In a post on X, the Indonesian Air Force expressed optimism that these measures would strengthen ties and enhance capabilities to meet future challenges.
The staff talks followed a recent visit by the Indian Navy’s INS Kadmatt to Makassar, Indonesia, from October 3 to 5, establishing professional interactions aimed at fostering naval partnerships. This productive visit occurred alongside discussions earlier this year between Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding defense and security collaboration.
During their meetings, both leaders welcomed the ratification of the Agreement concerning Cooperation in the field of Defence (DCA) and expressed confidence that it would lead to a deepened defense relationship. President Subianto acknowledged the importance of domestic defense manufacturing and expressed interest in further solidifying cooperation in this area. The Indian government reaffirmed its commitment to supporting Indonesia’s defense modernization efforts through the exchange of expertise and resources.
As maritime neighbors and strategic partners, India and Indonesia are poised to enhance and broaden their defense cooperation further, building a robust framework for future collaboration.
Kate Hudson, 46, says her morning routine involves meditating and spending time in the sun.
“I also try not to look at my phone during this time,” the actor said.
At night, she likes to unwind with a book — but sometimes gets sidetracked browsing auction sites.
Kate Hudson, 46, says she spends her mornings outdoors and phone-free.
In an interview with EatingWell published on Saturday, the actor spoke about the habits that shape her mornings and nights.
“I wake around 6 a.m. and do some sort of meditation practice while I drink warm water with lemon. I also try not to look at my phone during this time,” Hudson told EatingWell.
“Then about an hour after I wake up, I’ll have coffee or tea and walk outside barefoot and do sun gazing, which is one of my new favorite things to do before my kids wake up,” she said. “Sun gazing is a great new thing I do in the morning: It’s beneficial for your circadian rhythm and sets your body up for the day.”
While staring directly at the sun is dangerous and can cause lasting eye damage, getting sunlight safely has proven health benefits.
Being out in the sun can boost serotonin, the hormone that helps regulate mood and promote feelings of calm and happiness. Sunlight can also aid in the body’s production of vitamin D, which helps your body absorb calcium.
Studies have found that spending time outdoors can also have a de-stressing effect and help reduce inflammation.
Hudson added that her go-to breakfast is a protein shake, and she keeps fresh fruits and vegetables on hand whenever she or her kids need a snack.
“In my refrigerator, I cut carrots, cucumber, jícama, and peppers in Mason jars with a little water at the bottom, and cut fruit such as mango, pineapple and berries, and when the kids want a snack, I tell them to open up the fridge,” she said.
At night, Hudson keeps things simple, although she says she has one guilty pleasure before bed.
“It varies, but I like to get into bed really early and try to read before I go to sleep. It’s hard sometimes because I’m obsessed with home furniture and looking at live auction sites — not to buy anything, but to browse and see what’s out there,” she said.
A representative for Hudson did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent by Business Insider outside regular hours.
Other Hollywood celebrities and business leaders have also shared their own morning rituals.
Disney’s CEO, Bob Iger, said he gets up at 4:15 a.m. and avoids looking at his phone until after his morning workout because it helps him clear his head.
“I think it’s vital, in terms of the ability to run a pretty complicated company in a very, very fast-paced world, to have the energy but also to have spent the time to organize one’s thoughts,” he said.
“I listen to a Bible podcast or whatever. Every morning, they read a Bible verse, and then someone does a summary of it. That’s my first input while I’m doing my dry brushing and I’m putting body oil on. I don’t look at my messages or emails until I’ve taken that time for myself,” she said.
