Microsoft Outlook outage drags on for hours as attempts to restore service fail
Microsoft was still investigating a major outage Friday that left users across the world unable to access Outlook email and other products. The company said it had been unable to find a fix for the issue that started on Thursday, affecting multiple Microsoft 365 offerings that interact with its Exchange Online tool. Outage tracking site Downdetector showed a major spike in reports that hit a peak just before 1 p.m. ET. Users reported problems with its Outlook, Copilot, Teams and Sharepoint services, and some even reported problems accessing Microsoft Word and Excel. At 10:13 p.m. ET, Microsoft said its attempts to fix the issue were not taking as expected. In an update Friday at 5:28 a.m. ET, the company indicated it was still struggling to resolve the issue, saying it was seeing incremental improvement in several workloads, but service health remains variable and capacity has not yet fully returned to baseline. Microsoft did not provide a specific cause for the outage, but said the issue related to a number of servers being unexpectedly unavailable. Microsoft executive vice president Charles Lamanna said on X there was no indication this is the result of malicious or cyber activity. Government agencies in Japan, Singapore and Australia were among those affected, Reuters reported, while the US House of Representatives was also impacted by the outage. Politico reported one House staffer saying, There goes a day of legislative work. Australian home affairs minister Tony Burke said Microsoft had said it was dealing with something similar to the massive CrowdStrike outage in 2024. In a message posted Thursday at 12:54 p.m. ET on the official Microsoft 365 Status account on X, the company said it was investigating reports of users experiencing issues accessing Exchange Online mailboxes through multiple connection methods in the Americas. It subsequently confirmed that the issue may affect Microsoft 365 service connectivity for users in any region. Microsoft suffered another widespread outage in September, when the Microsoft 365 suite, which includes Outlook, was down for several days.

Sensex, Nifty snap 3-day rally as banking and realty stocks drag markets lower
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 13 (IANS) Benchmark equity indices ended a three-day winning run on Friday as selling pressure in banking, financial, realty, and metal stocks overshadowed recent gains. Investors remained cautious amid renewed concerns about price pressures impacting various sectors. The Sensex dropped 318.56 points, or 0.39 per cent, to close at 81,592.45. Meanwhile, the Nifty lost 155.05 points, or 0.61 per cent, to settle at 25,144.30. Among the Nifty constituents, Shriram Finance, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles (TMPV), and Grasim Industries emerged as the top laggards for the session. Broader market indices also faced declines, with the Nifty MidCap 100 and Nifty SmallCap 100 falling 0.24 per cent and 0.26 per cent, respectively. Sectorally, Nifty Realty, Nifty Auto, and Nifty Cement posted the largest declines, while Nifty Media was the most resilient, recording the least loss among major indices. Experts said that the rate hike fear set to test market rally, as rising inflation concerns and the possibility of further monetary tightening weighed on investor sentiment. Domestic inflation breaching the RB's upper tolerance limit has reinforced expectations of a prolonged restrictive interest-rate environment, analysts stated. Going forward, the trajectory of crude prices, currency stability and foreign investor flows will be critical in determining whether this correction remains a near-term consolidation or develops into a deeper earnings-led adjustment, it added. Meanwhile, experts said that for the rupee, that inflation print is double-edged: it signals cost pressure, but a December hike would also widen Indias already sizeable rate advantage over the US and support the currencys carry appeal. Strong foreign inflows, over INR 7,800 crore on Thursday, remain a genuine cushion. The near-term swing factor is oil: if Brent climbs back, the rupees recovery stalls; if it resumes falling, 94 holds, market experts stated. We believe this phase calls for greater selectivity rather than a broad-based defensive approach. Banking, capital goods and consumption-oriented stocks will need to demonstrate earnings resilience to attract fresh buying, experts added.

800,000 retention payments put water companies' bonus ban under fresh scrutiny
Anglian Water's chief executive could receive retention payments worth up to 800,000 despite the industry's bonus ban Nine water companies were barred from paying executive bonuses for 2025-26, blocking more than 6.5m in potential payments Ofwat has launched a four-week review examining whether retention awards and salary increases undermine the restrictions Britain's water companies could face tougher restrictions on executive pay after the regulator warned that some businesses may be finding alternative ways to reward their bosses despite a ban on performance-related bonuses. The Water Services Regulation Authority (Ofwat) is accelerating its review of the rules after raising concerns about large retention payments and substantial increases in executive salaries. It warned that such arrangements risk undermining the purpose of the restrictions and further damaging public confidence in an industry already facing criticism over sewage pollution and poor customer service. Anglian Water has come under particular scrutiny over potential retention payments worth up to 800,000 for its chief executive, Mark Thurston, across 2025 and 2026. Ofwat said the arrangement could give the impression that the company had offered an alternative cash award to replace performance-related pay prohibited under the rules. The regulator has written to Anglian Water seeking improvements in its governance and transparency around executive remuneration. It will also increase monitoring of the company's wider governance arrangements. Ofwat's concerns extend beyond Anglian Water. It identified potential retention payments of 1m for Thames Water 's chief financial officer, 1.5m for Northumbrian Water chief executive Heidi Mottram and up to 1.74m for United Utilities chief executive Louise Beardmore. The regulator said companies had not always provided sufficient public explanation of why such payments were necessary. Why is Ofwat reviewing the bonus ban? The restrictions were introduced through the Water (Special Measures) Act after growing public anger over sewage discharges, environmental failures and executive rewards at water companies. Under the rules, companies must prohibit performance-related payments to board-level directors when they trigger specified environmental or operational performance failures. For the 2025-26 financial year, nine companies in England and Wales triggered the restrictions: Anglian Water, Northumbrian Water, Severn Trent Water, Southern Water, South West Water, Thames Water , Wessex Water, Yorkshire Water and Dr Cymru, also known as Welsh Water. Seven of the bans were linked to environmental pollution. Ofwat said the restrictions prevented more than 6.5m in potential executive bonuses and other performance-related payments during the year. Combined with the previous financial year, more than 10m has now been blocked since the rules were introduced. However, the regulator is concerned that the restrictions do not cover every form of executive remuneration. Retention payments and fixed salary increases can fall outside the definition of performance-related pay, even when their effect may resemble the rewards the ban was designed to prevent. Ofwat also highlighted substantial increases in base salaries at some companies. United Utilities increased the salaries of its chief executive and chief financial officer by 20 per cent in 2025-26, while Severn Trent raised its chief financial officer's salary by 22 per cent. The latter company said the increase largely reflected expanded responsibilities beyond its regulated water business. Ofwat said poorly explained salary increases and retention arrangements could weaken public confidence, particularly when companies continue to fall short of environmental and service expectations. Environment Secretary Dame Angela Eagle said the government wanted to close loopholes in the restrictions. People are sick of seeing water bosses profit while rivers are polluted and customers are repeatedly let down, she said. She added that the review would ensure that failure did not pay, regardless of what companies called the payments. The regulator's four-week call for evidence opened on November 12 and will close on December 10. Responses will help inform possible changes, with any proposed reforms expected to be subject to further consultation. Could the new rules affect payments from parent companies? One of the issues under consideration is whether remuneration paid by the parent companies of water suppliers should also fall within the restrictions. This matters because some executive payments are made through wider corporate structures rather than directly by the regulated water business. Ofwat's concern is that this distinction could leave room for payments that undermine the purpose of the bonus ban. The issue has already featured in scrutiny of Thames Water. The company paid chief executive Chris Weston a deferred bonus of 99,000 during 2025-26, relating to an earlier award. Ofwat said the cost must be borne by the company's future owners rather than passed on to customers through their bills. The regulator also highlighted concerns about the disclosure of executive remuneration at South Staffs Water, saying the information provided was insufficient. Meanwhile, South East Water was not subject to the bonus ban during the year, but Ofwat said its shareholders would have to fund future bonuses following serious supply failures that left tens of thousands of households without water. The review comes as the government faces wider pressure to improve accountability across the water industry. Companies are dealing with scrutiny over pollution, ageing infrastructure, rising bills and the financial difficulties of some major suppliers. For customers, the question is not simply whether executives receive bonuses or retention awards. It is whether the money paid to senior leaders reflects improvements in the services they are responsible for delivering. Ofwat's review could broaden the definition of payments covered by the restrictions, but no changes have yet been confirmed. The regulator will first assess the evidence before deciding whether further reforms are needed.

Govt invites suggestions on report to measure productive knowledge as driver of economic growth
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 13 (IANS) The government on Friday invited suggestions on a report submitted by Committee on Knowledge Systems by December 12, which establishes the rationale for systematically measuring productive knowledge as a driver of economic growth, productivity, competitiveness and strategic capabilities. It outlines the Knowledge Ecosystem with eight interrelated components: knowledge, capabilities and assets, enabling infrastructure, knowledge creation activities, knowledge products, knowledge-embedded products, knowledge-intensive entrepreneurship and knowledge application. The paper also proposes boundary conditions for identifying knowledge products: knowledge as input, knowledge content, identifiability, codification and economic value. It has been also stated that these boundaries only serve as broad guiding principles rather than rigid criteria, while leaving sufficient flexibility to accommodate the diversity and evolving nature of such products, said the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation. The development of a systematic framework to measure the contribution of knowledge and knowledge products to the Indian economy assumes significance in the context of the growing role of knowledge in driving economic activity, productivity and value creation. Towards this, a series of deliberations were initiated with a meeting chaired by Prof. Ajay Kumar Sood, Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India, on February 10, 2025, which provided the initial direction for the exercise. Subsequently, the ministry constituted a Technical Advisory Group (TAG) in May 2025 under the chairmanship of Dr R Balasubramaniam, the then Member, Capacity Building Commission, to guide the development of a measurement framework. As part of its deliberations, the TAG held a brainstorming workshop on September 30, 2025, organised by MoSPI. The suggestions and insights emerging from the workshop, along with those from subsequent expert consultations, guided the preparation of the Base Paper on the Framework for Measuring the Contribution of Knowledge and Knowledge Products to the Indian Economy released in May 2026. Building on this foundation, MoSPI constituted a Committee on Knowledge Systems on May 5, 2026 under the chairmanship of Ratan P. Watal, former Member Secretary of the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister, with the mandate to prepare an Actionable Policy Paper on the Framework for Measuring the Contribution of Knowledge and Knowledge Products to the Economy. Indias development aspirations under the Viksit Bharat vision call for sustained improvements in productivity, innovation and the capacity to create economic value. Strengthening the knowledge base, know-how and specialised capabilities required to generate, acquire, absorb, adapt and apply knowledge will increasingly shape the countrys development trajectory, according to an official statement.
'In the interest of devotees': Gujarat Dy CM on PM Modi postponing Ambaji visit amid festive rush
Digital Desk | Gandhinagar, Nov 13 (IANS) Prime Minister Narendra Modi has postponed his scheduled visit to Ambaji temple on November 14, coinciding with Labh Pancham, to ensure that devotees visiting the shrine do not face any inconvenience amid the anticipated rush, Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi said on Friday. Explaining the decision, Sanghavi said PM Modi had personally decided to defer his visit after considering the large number of devotees arriving at the temple over the past two to three days and the possibility of a further increase in footfall on Labh Pancham. Respected PM Modi ji is a great devotee of Maa Amba. He was scheduled to visit Ambaji tomorrow on the occasion of Labh Pancham. However, considering the large number of devotees visiting the temple over the past two-three days, the crowd may increase further on Labh Pancham, Sanghavi said. He said the Prime Minister had directed the state government to ensure that devotees were not inconvenienced, choosing to visit the temple on another occasion instead. To ensure that devotees do not face any inconvenience on Labh Pancham, he himself took an immediate decision in their interest, saying that he would come for darshan on a special occasion later, but the state government should make arrangements so that not a single devotee faces any difficulty, Sanghavi said. He has postponed his visit to Ambaji in the interest of the people, so that everyone's wishes are fulfilled, and devotees can begin their New Year by offering prayers at the feet of Maa Amba. Modi ji will visit again in the coming days to seek the blessings of Maa Amba, he added. The Prime Minister was scheduled to visit the famous Ambaji temple in Banaskantha district on Saturday to offer prayers and perform rituals on Labh Pancham, an auspicious occasion associated with new beginnings. The temple, one of the 51 revered Shakti Peeths, attracts devotees from Gujarat and neighbouring states. The proposed visit had prompted preparations by the district administration and security agencies, with arrangements being reviewed to facilitate the Prime Minister's visit alongside the regular movement of pilgrims. On Thursday, Sanghavi visited Ambaji and reviewed the preparations, saying the arrangements were being made to ensure ordinary devotees could have smooth and timely darshan. However, with a substantial number of pilgrims already visiting the shrine during the Diwali holiday period and more expected on Labh Pancham, the Prime Minister's temple programme was postponed. The Banaskantha Collector's office had also issued a notice on Thursday stating that the programme scheduled for November 14 had been postponed for administrative reasons. PM Modi is expected to arrive at Ahmedabad airport on Friday evening and travel to Gandhinagar, where he will stay overnight at Lok Bhavan. Following the change in the itinerary, he is expected to return to Delhi on Saturday morning instead of travelling to Ambaji. Earlier on Friday, Sanghavi visited the Jain pilgrimage centre of Shri Ghantakarna Mahavir Temple in Mahudi, Gandhinagar district and offered prayers. He prayed for Gujarat's continued progress, peace and prosperity, and the well-being of its people. Mansa MLA J.S. Patel and other officials were also present.
