Women's Asia Cup: Nashra Sandhu's six-wicket haul helps Pakistan qualify for semis
Digital Desk | Dubai, Sep 7 (IANS) A brilliant maiden six-wicket haul by left-arm spinner Nashra Sandhu in T20Is helped Pakistan Women beat Hong Kong Women by 72 runs in their Group A match of the ACC Womens T20 Asia Cup at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium (DICS) in Dubai on Monday. With this win, Pakistan confirmed their place in the semifinals of the eight-team tournament. Pakistan will now take on Sri Lanka in the second semifinal, scheduled for September 11. Defending a modest total of 144 built mainly on a brisk 47 by Shawaal Zulfiqar, the 28-year-old Nashra never allowed the Hong Kong batters to get going. Wickets fell at regular intervals as Pakistan bowled their opponents out for a paltry 71 to win the match with six balls to spare. Player of the Match Nashra finished with figures of 4-0-7-6, which were also the best bowling figures by a Pakistan womens cricketer in T20Is, surpassing Omaima Sohails five for 13 in four overs against Sri Lanka in Sylhet, Bangladesh in 2022. Earlier, opting to bat first, Pakistan scored 143 for eight in their allotted 20 overs. Right-handed batter Shawaal top-scored with a 35-ball 47, hitting seven fours. Ayesha Zafar (26, 19b, 4x4) and captain Fatima Sana (24 not out, 24b, 2x6) were the other notable run-scorers for Pakistan, who had earlier on Sunday lost to archrivals India in their second match in the league. For Hong Kong, Joyleen Kaur was the most successful bowler, taking four wickets for 19 runs. Pakistan finished second in Group A, earning four points from two wins in three matches. They had won their first match against Thailand in the tournament. Brief scores: Pakistan 143/8 in 20 overs (Shawaal Zulfiqar 47, Ayesha Zafar 26, Fatima Sana 24 not out; Joyleen Kaur 4-19, Iqra Sahar 2-27, Kary Chan 2-33) beat Hong Kong 71 all out in 19 overs (Kary Chan 30; Nashra Sandhu 6-7) by 72 runs
Separatists enforce weeklong lockdown in Cameroon's Anglophone regions
Digital Desk | Yaounde, Sep 8 (IANS) Armed separatists are enforcing a weeklong lockdown in Cameroon's conflict-hit English-speaking Northwest and Southwest regions, leading to renewed clashes, residents and security sources said. Separatist leaders announced on social media that the lockdown, which began on Monday, aims to disrupt the start of the new school year, Xinhua News Agency reported. In Bamenda, the capital of the Northwest Region, residents described a tense atmosphere, with schools closed and movement severely restricted. We heard gunshots. People are really afraid. The streets are deserted. Shops are closed, and almost all activities have stopped, a resident, who requested anonymity, told Xinhua by phone. In a video posted online on Sunday, armed separatist fighters threatened to kill anyone who attempts to step out during the lockdown period. Security officials said additional troops had been deployed to both regions to conduct day and night patrols. On Sunday, regional authorities assured residents that security had been tightened and urged them to continue their daily activities. The Northwest and Southwest regions have seen armed conflict since 2017, when separatists began fighting government forces to establish an independent state. In July, seven passengers were kidnapped in Cameroon's Northwest region. The passengers were travelling from the town of Bafoussam, the capital of the West region, to Bamenda, the capital of the Northwest, when armed men intercepted their vehicle. Family members told local media the abductors are demanding a ransom for their release. Ransom kidnappings are common in the English-speaking Northwest, where separatists have clashed with government forces in a push for independence. Police say travellers are frequently targeted by gunmen suspected to be separatist fighters. In June, about 12 people, including 10 passengers on a bus, were kidnapped by suspected separatist fighters in Cameroon's Northwest Region, where an armed separatist conflict is ongoing, according to locals and security sources. The bus left the locality of Ndop and was heading to Bamenda, the region's chief town, when it was intercepted by gunmen.

Over 4,000-year-old tomb discovered at Egypt's Saqqara
Digital Desk | Cairo, Sep 7 (IANS) Egypt on Monday announced the discovery of an over 4,000-year-old tomb dating to the late Fifth Dynasty (2494-2345 BC) at the Mariette Cemetery north of Saqqara, Giza Province, west of Cairo. According to a statement from Egypt's Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, the tomb, discovered by a joint Egyptian-Spanish archaeological mission, dates to the reign of King Djedkare Isesi. The medium-sized mastaba contains two funerary chapels. One belonged to Yunmin, a senior official who served as judge, court director, and chief of scribes responsible for handling petitions and complaints, Xinhua News Agency reported. Excavations in Yunmin's chapel uncovered a distinctive facade inscribed with funerary texts and an offering formula, alongside a depiction of the tomb owner in a formal pose. The chapel's walls were decorated with high-quality raised reliefs depicting agricultural activities and processions carrying offerings to the tomb. The second chapel belonged to Yunmin's father, Ity, a scribe involved in administering agricultural lands and offerings. It features a false door and colourful wall decorations of offering scenes, though much of the paint has faded. Hisham El-Leithy, secretary-general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, said the discovery provides new archaeological information about the Saqqara cemetery during the late Fifth Dynasty and sheds further light on the architectural and artistic styles of tombs from the period. In July, the Ministry announced the discovery of a Pharaonic tomb on the West Bank of Luxor, unearthed during ongoing archaeological excavations. According to a ministry statement, the discovery was made by a Dutch archaeological mission working within the Theban Necropolis. Hisham Elleithy, secretary-general of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA), said inscriptions identify the tomb's owner as Paser, with wall reliefs tentatively dating the structure to the New Kingdom (1550 BC-1069 BC). Elleithy noted that the archaeological team will conduct comprehensive documentation and analysis to identify those buried at the site and reconstruct their histories, aiming to place the tomb within its broader historical and cultural context.

YSRCP again demands Lokesh's resignation over DSC scam
Digital Desk | Amaravati, Sep 7 (IANS) YSR Congress Party on Monday reiterated its demand for the resignation of Andhra Pradesh Education Minister Nara Lokesh, claiming that more and more evidence is coming out with every passing day in the alleged DSC exam. YSRCP State Coordinator Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy told media persons that with new evidence surfacing every passing day and the cover-up bid of the coalition turning meek and weak, Lokesh should quit his post instead of asking officials to give rejoinders. It seems that the DSC was conducted in a manner that teacher posts were on the offer for price, and the government defence has been shrinking with new evidence coming out, he said. All fingers are pointing towards Lokesh in the DSC, and he is to blame for the irregularities, and he cannot shirk responsibility, he said. If there is a scam, someone should take responsibility, and how can we believe that there will be a fair inquiry unless it is by a Central agency, Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy said. He alleged that the coalition government has been gagging the media that has been exposing the DSC scam by blocking the social media handles in an unjust manner. The irregularities are glaring in the sports quota appointments, and the government is running for cover from the pointed questions, backed by data, being raised by YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, he said. The YSRCP leader said that while gold medalists do not get jobs, people with participation certificates have been given jobs and the issuance and cancellation of GOs after the purpose is served further strengthen the fact that there are irregularities in the DSC. There are allegations that there have been paper leaks and the topper had access to the question bank, and his name was deleted from the merit list when the issue came into the open, he said. Lokesh, who has been talking tall on the issue, should have answered our questions in the Council, and why did he run away from facing the YSRCP, he asked. He alleged that Chandrababu is trying to shield his son from the issue, which is the reason why only officials are coming out to speak and not the concerned minister, he said and demanded the resignation of the Education Minister.

North Korean defense minister denounce US' joint military drills, says will take necessary measures
Digital Desk | Seoul, Sep 7 (IANS) The North Korean defence minister strongly denounced the Freedom Edge exercise involving South Korea, the United States and Japan currently underway, vowing to take eflective countermeasures, Pyongyang's official media outlet reported on Monday. North Korean Defence Minister Kim Song-gi released the statement through the Korean Central News Agency, noting the exercise poses a security threat that pushes the instability on the Korean Peninsula and beyond the region to the limit. If the US and its allies attempt to provoke a new military confrontation with the DPRK, the latter will take strong and reflective countermeasures from the standpoint of power, Kim added, using North Korea's official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Yonhap News Agency reported.

ROK stands for the Republic of Korea, South Korea's official name. If necessary, we will express our will and ability to respond to the enemy's moves with more powerful and resolute action practice, Kim warned. South Korea, the US and Japan began the five-day joint military exercise on the day, proceeding on schedule even as key Seoul-Washington drills were recently scaled back upon US President Donald Trump's order.

IGP Jammu reviews security & policing arrangements in J&K's Samba
Digital Desk | Jammu, Sep 7 (IANS) Tejinder Singh, Jammu Inspector General of Police (IGP), on Monday reviewed security and policing arrangements in Samba district of Jammu and Kashmir. Jammu Police Zonal Headquarters on social media platform X said, IGP Jammu Zone accompanied by Shridhar Patil, Deputy Inspector General of Police (Jammu-Samba-Kathua Range), visited Samba and reviewed the security and policing arrangements. He (IGP Jammu Tejinder Singh) emphasised preventive policing, enhanced border surveillance, effective coordination and professional policing. Since he took over as IGP Jammu zone on August 31, Tejinder Singh has been carrying out road marches to ensure police-public relationship. While focusing on law and order and anti-terrorist operations, one big area of concern for J&K Police in Jammu division is cross border smuggling that takes place through the 740-km long Line of Control (LoC) and the 240-km long international border. Once the smuggler consignments reach the hinterland, they present a serious challenge to the local police. In most cases it has been found that the terror handlers sitting across the border in Pakistan have been using smuggling as a sustenance channel for terrorist in Jammu and Kashmir. The challenges for law enforcement and security forces in the Jammu division involve a complex mix of shifting terrorist activity, difficult geography, and cross-border smuggling. Terrorist activity and targeted security threats have increasingly spread toward the remote, hilly terrain of the Jammu division, including the Pir Panjal mountain ranges and the Chenab river valley belt. Difficult terrain includes dense forests and mountainous landscapes provide natural cover for adversarial elements and make counter-insurgency operations highly demanding. Continuous attempts at infiltration alongside drone drops carrying arms, ammunition, and narcotics across the International Border (IB) and Line of Control (LoC) require heightened vigilance. Combating localised drug trafficking rings that fund and support militant logistics (such as operations under anti-narcotics frameworks) remains a persistent operational hurdle. Police personnel must simultaneously handle counter-terrorism, intelligence collection, protection of scattered or remote minority populations, VIP security, and routine law enforcement. Rapid urban growth paired with limited road networks in major urban centres creates ongoing difficulties in efficient traffic regulation and rapid incident response.

Digital Desk | Panaji, Sep 7 (IANS) Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel on Monday highlighted the states experience with household biogas plants under the 'GOBARdhan' scheme at the 28th meeting of the Western Zonal Council in Goa, presenting it as a best practice in converting rural waste into clean energy and supporting organic farming. The meeting, chaired by Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah in Panaji, was attended by the chief ministers of Gujarat, Maharashtra and Goa, along with the Administrator of the Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu. The Western Zonal Council comprises Gujarat, Maharashtra and Goa and the Union Territory. Patel said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had adopted cooperative federalism as the guiding principle for the countrys development and described the Zonal Council as an important platform for states to work together on issues of common interest. With the continuous guidance of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, the Western Zonal Council has strengthened the tradition of mutual cooperation, coordination and dialogue, Patel said, adding that the council was emerging as a result-oriented platform rather than merely an advisory body. He said the meetings allowed participating states to share their strengths, resources, experiences and best practices to work towards common national objectives. According to Patel, this approach was providing renewed strength to the states to contribute towards PM Modis vision of Viksit Bharat 2047. The Chief Minister presented several initiatives undertaken by Gujarat, including the prompt availability of Emergency Response Support System (ERSS) 112 services, fast-track courts for speedy disposal of serious crimes such as sexual offences, arrangements for maternal and infant nutrition, and the expansion of the cooperative sector in rural areas. The GOBARdhan scheme was presented as Gujarats best practice during the meeting. Patel said the Central Government scheme seeks to convert waste into wealth while promoting better waste management, clean-energy kitchens, reduction in pollution, livelihood opportunities for women and the expansion of ODF Plus. Under the household biogas plant model in Gujarat, 14,745 rural families have been covered, according to the state government. The plants have resulted in annual savings of Rs 36.86 crore in fuel expenditure, while more than 12,800 metric tonnes of carbon emissions are being reduced annually. The scheme has also generated 3.81 crore litres of bio-slurry annually, which the government said was helping promote organic farming and reduce dependence on chemical fertilisers. Patel also said the Central Government, under PM Modis leadership, had approved the Rs 23,700-crore GOBARdhan scheme to promote Compressed Biogas (CBG) production across the country. Gujarat, he said, was committed to advancing the objective of turning waste into wealth through the GOBARdhan scheme at household, industrial and community levels under the CBG Mission. The meeting was held as the Centre continues to position the Zonal Councils as forums for structured dialogue between states and between states and the Centre. The Union Home Ministry has said the councils are intended to facilitate cooperation and help resolve issues involving two or more states or the Centre and states. Minister Rushikesh Patel; Gujarat Chief Secretary M. K. Das; Principal Secretary to the Chief Minister, Sanjeev Kumar; and other officials accompanied the Chief Minister at the meeting. The 28th Western Zonal Council meeting was chaired by HM Shah as part of the council's regular institutional mechanism for cooperation among the western states and the Union Territory.
A good year to win Ballon d'Or, says Mbappe
Digital Desk | Madrid, Sep 7 (IANS) Real Madrid striker Kylian Mbappe admits he is among the favourites to win the 2026 Ballon d'Or after claiming the Golden Boot at this summer's World Cup and becoming the tournament's all-time leading scorer. Mbappe's 10 goals in the United States this summer took his World Cup total to 22, one more than Lionel Messi. Despite failing to win the tournament with France or any titles with Real Madrid last season, his achievements have made him a leading candidate for the award, which will be presented by France Football at the end of October. Speaking to the press ahead of Real Madrid's Champions League opener at home to Inter Milan on Tuesday night, Mbappe was asked about the Ballon d'Or. A lot of people talk about me as a possible Ballon d'Or winner (...) Of course, I've made history this summer in the most important competition in sports, but we will have to wait and see, said the striker, who nevertheless believes it could be a good year for him to win, reports Xinhua. Asked whether he believes he is the best player in the world, Mbappe joked, I always do, before adding that everyone has their own opinion. There may be people here who think I'm the best in the world and others who don't. I don't think it's a debate you have to have. It's the journalists who are going to vote, and they'll think about who they believe is the best, commented Mbappe, who said it was always a pleasure to play in the Champions League. He also brushed aside suggestions that he and Vinicius Jr. do not work well together, although he did comment that it was a never-ending debate and we all need to improve. Mbappe also spoke about Jose Mourinho, describing the Real Madrid coach as a man who knows how to win, how to inspire those around him, and how to motivate the whole club, his team. And win matches. Kylian Mbappe scored a hat-trick as Jose Mourinho celebrated his return to the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium with a 4-1 home win over Real Sociedad on Wednesday night. Mbappe scored once in the first half and twice in the second as Real Madrid overcame a difficult opening period before taking control after the break. A moment of quality in the 40th minute saw Fede Valverde pick out Mbappe, who cut inside and fired home to put Real Madrid ahead as the demanding home crowd began to show signs of discontent. Mbappe scored Real Madrid's third goal and restored their lead just after the hour following a swift passing move with Jude Bellingham, who turned provider again in the 68th minute when he won the ball from Real Sociedad defender Luken Beitia to set up Vinicius Jr. for his side's third goal of the night.
