Russia has been agreed to lease a second nuclear submarine to India in a deal which will cost around $2 billion. According to the sources the deal was struck during the meeting between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian President Putin on October 15th on the sidelines of the BRICS meet in Goa.

A hack on the Democratic National Committee has given attackers access to a massive trove of data, including all opposition research into presidential candidate Donald Trump and almost a year’s worth of private e-mail and chat messages, according to a published report.

In an article published Wednesday, The Washington Post reported that researchers with CrowdStrike, the security firm DNC officials hired to investigate and contain the breach, determined the intrusions were carried out by two separate hacker groups that both worked for the Russian government. One, dubbed Cozy Bear, gained access last summer and has been monitoring committee members’ e-mail and chat communications. The other is known as Fancy Bear and is believed to have broken into the network in late April. It was the latter intrusion that obtained the entire database of Trump opposition and later tipped off IT team members the network may have been breached.

The DNC intrusion is just one of several targeting US political organizations, the WaPo said, with the networks of Trump, rival presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, and some republican political action committees also being targeted by Russian spies. Details about those campaigns weren’t available. The hackers who penetrated the DNC network were expelled last weekend. No financial and donor information appears to have been taken, leaving analysts to suspect the attack was a case of traditional espionage and not the work of criminal hackers.


The hackers did not access donor information and financial records, according to the DNC, but were able to steal troves of data including information on Trump, whose past the Democratic Party has been researching in preparation for a general election. The intrusion was first reported by the Washington Post.

Narendra Modi is in Moscow for a two-day visit to attend an annual summit between the two nations. He is expected to hold formal talks with Putin on economic and political issues on Thursday, including the declassification of files of India's freedom fighter Subhas Chandra Bose.
Modi will also address the Indian community and visit Russian centre for national disaster management process. The mutual investment between the two countries stands at US$11 billion, which as India aims, should reach US$30 billion in another 10 years.
India has termed Russia as an "old and trusted" partner. Russia has also supported India's bid to become a permanent member of United Nations Security Council.
A number of agreements will be signed by the two sides during the visit, some of which are awaiting final touches. Discussions on Free-Trade area, Eurasian Economic zone, boosting tourism and agro trade between the two countries will be taken up.
Modi is expected to promote deals for Russian nuclear reactors and military helicopters worth billions of dollars, attracted by promises to transfer technology that Western nations have been slow to make.
Russia and India will manufacture 200 Kamov-226T helicopters in a joint venture, a Russian and an Indian government official said, in the first big step for Modi's campaign to build a domestic industrial base and reduce the military's dependence on expensive imports.
Modi will also offer Russia a site in Andhra Pradesh to build six nuclear reactors of 1,200 megawatts each, sources said.
