Technology & Global Connectivity
🌊 Big internet cables under the Red Sea got cut, and this made the internet slower in parts of Asia and the Middle East.
🛰️ These cables are like giant undersea “highways” that help computers talk to each other, along with satellites and land cables.
⚓ Sometimes ships’ anchors or accidents can break the cables, but people also worry about them being attacked on purpose.
⏳ Fixing these cables takes a long time, because special ships have to find the broken parts deep under the water.
🌍 Even though the internet slowed down, most countries found other routes to keep people online, so everyone wasn’t completely cut off.
Tech Infrastructure Facts
- Undersea cables carry 99% of international data traffic, not satellites as many believe
- A single cable can cost up to £500 million to install and maintain
- Cable repair ships are specially equipped with robotic submarines for deep-sea fixes

Reuters - 5.09.25
Angela Rayner resigns over tax as UK deputy PM in damaging blow to Keir Starmer
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer brought in a new deputy and foreign and interior ministers on Friday in a sweeping reshuffle intended to restore his authority after the resignation of his deputy, Angela Rayner.
🌟 Angela Rayner, who was the Deputy Prime Minister of the UK, said sorry and quit her job because she didn’t pay the right amount of tax.

🌍 This could someday help millions of people with diabetes live easier lives without needles and strict checks every day.
🚀 It’s still very early, only one person has tried it but it’s a big step toward a real cure for diabetes in the future.
