Huawei offers India no backdoor pact for 5G trials, urges government to provide level playing field

Chinese telecom equipment-maker Huawei has said that it is ready to sign a "no back door" agreement with the Indian government.

Three space explorers namely NASA astronaut Anne McClain, cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko of Roscosmos, and Canadian astronaut David Saint-Jacques returned to Earth safely earlier today after spending 204 days aboard the International Space Station (ISS). NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine confirmed the landing of the crew in the southeast of the town of Zhezqazghan in Kazakhstan at 10:47 PM EDT (8:17 AM IST). Though the crew landed safely, the ride back to Earth appears to have been understandably turbulent. According to a news report by CBC, the capsule that left the space station the previous evening landed on Earth upright, as if it had been burnt up by the heat during re-entry.
