Fronted by Radhika Madan, Indian film Sanaa is set to open the upcoming edition of the UK Asian Film Festival, which will take place from May 4th to May 13th.

Madan along with director Sudhanshu Saria will grace the special screening at the BFI Southbank in London.

Excited about the screening, Radhika said, "Sanaa is a very special film for me. It's a film that talks about unresolved trauma, something that a lot of people go through but never talk about. It was a challenging role for me, and I am so glad that it has been appreciated by audiences worldwide. I am really excited to present the film at UK Asian Film Festival and to share Sanaa with the audience there."

Sudhanshu Saria also expressed happiness. "What an honour for the entire team to launch the 25th edition of UK Asian Film Festival with our film! We are thrilled to be part of this wonderful event that has been celebrating diverse voices and helping change minds for the past 25 years. Sanaa is an intimate and raw portrait of the modern Indian woman and I can't wait to see how it resonates with British audiences," he said.

Sanaa follows the story of a headstrong and ambitious girl (Radhika), waging an internal battle that is rooted in unhealed trauma. Pooja Bhatt, Sohum Shah, and Shikha Talsania are also a part of the film.

Highlights:

  • iPadOS 26 introduces Apple’s Liquid Glass design, the biggest aesthetic overhaul in a decade.
  • Windowing and multitasking bring MacBook-like usability to the iPad.
  • Productivity gains include a new Files app, Background Tasks and a Menu Bar.
  • Apple Intelligence adds features such as Live Translation and Image Playground.
  • Reviewers say the update makes the iPad more powerful, though with a learning curve.

Apple has released iPadOS 26, a free update for compatible tablets, and early reviews describe it as one of the most significant overhauls in the iPad’s history. With a striking new design language and laptop-style productivity tools, the software pushes the iPad closer than ever to being a true alternative to the MacBook.

Liquid Glass wins over critics

The most visible change is Apple’s new Liquid Glass aesthetic. First revealed at WWDC 2025, the design uses translucent layers and fluid animations to create the effect of glass surfaces shifting across the screen. Critics say it looks especially impressive on the iPad’s larger display, where the Control Centre, Lock Screen and Camera app now feel more modern and dynamic.

Baffling cabinet reshuffle

Piyush Goyal with Jonathan Reynolds at Chequers during the signing of the UK–India Free Trade Agreement in July

Baffling cabinet reshuffle

IN SIR KEIR STARMER’S cabinet reshuffle last week, triggered by the resignation of Angela Rayner, the prime minister shifted Jonathan Reynolds from business and trade secretary and president of the board of trade after barely a year in the post to chief whip, making him responsible for the party.

The move doesn’t make much sense. At Chequers, the UK-India Free Trade Agreement was signed by Reynolds, and the Indian commerce and industry minister, Piyush Goyal. They had clearly established a friendly working relationship.

Microsoft avoids antitrust penalty with Teams ‘unbundling’ offer

Highlights:

  • The European Commission accepted Microsoft’s commitments to unbundle Teams from Office 365 and Microsoft 365.
  • The deal makes Microsoft’s pledges legally binding for at least seven years, avoiding a heavy antitrust fine.
  • Changes include reduced-price Office suites without Teams, easier switching for long-term customers, and improved interoperability.
  • The case followed a 2023 complaint by Slack, now owned by Salesforce.
  • Critics say Microsoft’s bundling harmed competition and denied customers choice.

The European Union has accepted binding commitments from Microsoft to unbundle its Teams communication platform from its Office software suites, sparing the company a potentially heavy antitrust fine. The move follows a lengthy investigation triggered by a complaint from rival service Slack.

EU decision

On Friday, the European Commission confirmed that Microsoft’s commitments would become legally binding under EU competition rules for a period of at least seven years. Regulators had accused the company of “abusive” tying practices by packaging Teams with Office products, a move that they said prevented rivals from competing fairly.
