 Renowned 20th-century philosopher Jürgen Habermas dies at 96 Jürgen Habermas, the German philosopher widely recognized for his contributions to modern political thought and democratic theory, died Saturday in Starnberg, Germany, at the age of 96. His passing was confirmed in a statement by his Berlin-based publisher, Suhrkamp Verlag, which noted that Habermas’s work, translated into more than 40 languages, had left a lasting impact on global intellectual discourse. Jonathan Landgrebe, head of the publishing house, described him as “a significant philosopher, ever-present advisor, and dear friend.” For more than six decades, Habermas helped shape postwar and post-reunification German political life.

INDIA: A SIKH WOMAN IN HER 20'S WAS RAPED IN BROAD DAYLIGHT IN A PARK OFF TAME ROAD, OLDBURY, ON TUESDAY MORNING, IN WHAT POLICE ARE TREATING AS A RACIALLY AGGRAVATED HATE CRIME.(PHOTO).


 A Sikh woman in her 20s was raped in broad daylight in a park off Tame Road, Oldbury, on Tuesday morning, in what police are treating as a racially aggravated hate crime.


The assault took place shortly before 8.30am when two white men attacked the woman, hurling racist abuse and telling her to “go back to your country” during the ordeal.


West Midlands Police have launched a manhunt for the suspects. One attacker has been described as heavy-built, with a shaven head, wearing a dark sweatshirt and gloves. The second was seen in a grey top with a silver zip.


“This was a horrific attack. We are appealing to anyone who saw two men in the area or has CCTV, dashcam or mobile phone footage to contact us urgently,” police said in a statement.


The incident has sparked anger and fear within the Sikh community, which has reported a rise in racist incidents in recent months.


Labour MP Preet Kaur Gill condemned the assault, calling it “an act of extreme violence and racism.” In a post on X, she wrote: “She does belong here. Racism and misogyny have no place in Oldbury or anywhere in Britain.” Gill also pledged to work closely with police to ensure justice and improve community safety.
