Investors that Suffered Losses are Encouraged to Contact RLF about Ongoing Investigation into the Company (NYSE: CUBI)Tata Group-owned Air India said on Thursday it has ordered 34 trainer aircraft for a pilot training school it is building at Amravati in Maharashtra. The order comprises 31 single-engine aircraft from US planemaker Piper Aircraft and three twin-engine aircraft from Austria-based Diamond Aircraft. The airline is planning to open the school in the second half of 2025 after getting regulatory approvals. Aspiring pilots will get the opportunity to enrol in a full-time aircraft flying course at the academy and earn a direct pathway to Air India's cockpit on successful completion of training. ET reported on 18 June about the airline's plans to start a pilot training school. Air India's initiative marks a major shift in strategy on how Indian carriers trained pilots. Till now, major carriers like IndiGo and SpiceJet have set up branded training programmes affiliated with independent flight schools in India and abroad. For instance, IndiGo has a tie-up with seven flight schools. "The new flying training organisation is a strategic move to exponentially expand our training infrastructure and our commitment to building a self-reliant ecosystem of qualified pilots for both Air India and the Indian aviation industry," said Sunil Bhaskaran, Director, Aviation Academy, Air India. "With this order of 34 trainer aircraft to support South Asia's largest Flying Training Organisation, we are delighted to be playing a part in building the aviation infrastructure India needs as one of the world's fastest-growing aviation markets."

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) and Microsoft have launched a pioneering collaboration to combat climate-induced displacement, leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and data-driven solutions. This partnership, supported by Microsoft’s AI for Good Lab, aims to provide actionable insights to mitigate the impacts of climate change on migration and bolster resilience in vulnerable communities. Pilot projects have already begun in the Maldives, Ethiopia, and Libya, marking a significant step in addressing the growing challenges posed by climate-related migration. Climate change is becoming an increasingly powerful driver of displacement, with 26.4 million internal displacements recorded in 2023. According to the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC), by the end of 2024, 7.7 million people are expected to be internally displaced due to disasters, highlighting the urgent need for comprehensive data on climate-induced migration. Amy Pope, IOM Director General, emphasized the importance of proactive strategies in the face of this crisis. “We can no longer simply react to climate change,” she said. “This collaboration with Microsoft empowers IOM with data and insights that enable us to proactively address the impact of climate change on migration so we can better protect vulnerable communities.” The collaboration combines advanced AI tools with local expertise to assess the risks posed by climate change in various regions. In Ethiopia, AI-driven data analysis identified that 700,000 people and 1.5% of the country’s croplands are at risk of flooding. These findings are helping IOM plan more targeted interventions to assist displaced populations and reduce the risk of future displacement. In Libya, the partnership has focused on the impact of extreme heat on migration routes, with projections suggesting that 72% of the country’s migration pathways could face dangerous heat levels under a 2°C global warming scenario, raising health risks for migrants. In the Maldives, where rising sea levels threaten displacement, projections indicate that by 2050, about 9,000 people could be displaced, with some islands facing over 70% of their populations at risk. The research highlights five islands that are likely to remain safe, providing critical insights for adaptation and migration policies in partnership with the Maldivian government. The results of these projects will be showcased through the Climate Action Portal, an interactive platform designed to share key insights on climate change and migration. The portal will present dynamic data visualizations and maps to empower policymakers and humanitarian organizations with the information needed to respond effectively to climate-induced displacement. This initiative is part of a broader strategic partnership between IOM and Microsoft Philanthropies aimed at leveraging technology and data to save lives, improve decision-making, and create sustainable pathways for migrants. Through this collaboration, IOM and Microsoft are setting a new standard in identifying vulnerable populations, predicting displacement hotspots, and equipping stakeholders with the tools necessary to mitigate risks and support affected communities.No. 22 Xavier aims to keep its perfect record intact Monday night in Fort Myers, Fla., when it takes on South Carolina in the Fort Myers Tip-Off. The Musketeers (5-0) are coming off an 80-55 victory on Wednesday over Siena, while the Gamecocks (3-2) beat Mercer on Thursday 84-72. Against Mercer, South Carolina sank a season-best 12 3-pointers -- tied for the fourth-most in a single game under third-year coach Lamont Paris. Jamarii Thomas, a senior transfer from Norfolk State, had 19 points and swished 4 of 5 shots from behind the arc. "Thomas got some good, clean looks," Paris said. "It was good to see those guys make their shots. Hopefully it gets those guys going in the right direction." On the season, the Gamecocks are making 7.8 3-pointers per game and shooting 32.5 percent from deep. Senior guard Jacobi Wright makes a team-best 1.8 3-pointers per game and shoots 37.5 percent from behind the arc. At 13.0 ppg, he is second on the team behind Collin Murray-Boyles (15.8). Xavier is allowing eight makes from deep per game and is letting opponents shoot 38.5 percent from behind the arc, which ranks 337th in the country. And despite an undefeated record so far for the Musketeers, third-year coach Sean Miller is worried about his players developing bad habits. "We have a virus that everybody is looking at the stat sheet, trying to get as many points as they possibly can," Miller said after the win over Siena. "They want to win, but they really want to win and score. We need a couple of guys that are willing to rebound, defend, make the extra pass, play at a high level defensively and understand what makes a team great." Marcus Foster did a decent job of doing a little bit of everything for Xavier against Siena, piling up 12 points, five rebounds, five assists and a steal. It was the first double-digit scoring outing for Foster -- a grad transfer from Furman -- in a Xavier uniform. Since 2008, Xavier is 25-11 against teams from the Southeastern Conference, but it hasn't played South Carolina in that stretch. --Field Level Media
