Iran's Reported Missile Launch Sparks Fresh Gulf Alarm; Saudi, UAE Airspace Under Pressure
Iran has reportedly launched an anti-ship ballistic missile from Fars province, raising fresh concerns over commercial shipping and air traffic across the Gulf. Reports also indicated possible flight suspensions at Abu Dhabi and Riyadh airports, although the missile launch and airport disruptions have not been independently confirmed. The reported use of an anti-ship ballistic missile would be significant because the weapon is designed to threaten vessels at sea, potentially adding another layer of risk to commercial shipping routes across the Gulf. The development comes as regional aviation already faces heightened security concerns. The European Union Aviation Safety Agency has warned about risks to civilian aircraft from missile and drone activity, interceptions and falling debris amid the wider conflict. Gulf airlines have also faced disruptions, including cancellations, delays and route changes, while the UAE has suspended flights operated by Iranian carriers following new US sanctions. If confirmed, the latest missile launch could raise further questions over whether Iran is expanding pressure from military targets to the wider network of commercial shipping and aviation routes across the Gulf.#Iran #Gulf #IranMissiles #AntiShipMissile #SaudiArabia #UAE #AbuDhabi #Riyadh #StraitOfHormuz #GulfCrisis #MiddleEast #Missile #Shipping #Aviation #Geopolitics #MilitaryNews #DefenceNews

Irrigation canals form a sort of circulatory system for global agriculture. Across the world, millions of kilometers of human-made canals carry water from lakes, rivers and reservoirs downhill to farmland. Canals are vitally important to human food production, yet many agricultural areas lack the means to monitor the ebb and flow of water through these waterways. This forces farmers and water managers to rely on scattered gauges, inspections and local reports to make decisions about water use.

Judge clears final barrier to Paramount's $111 billion Warner Bros. deal
Paramount chief David Ellison, after a fierce year-long battle, is finally about to get his hands on Warner Bros. Discovery in the most expensive takeover in Hollywood history. On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Araceli Martnez-Olgun, who is overseeing the antitrust case aimed at blocking the Paramount-Warner Bros. deal approved Paramounts settlement with the 12 Democratic state attorneys general who brought the case to resolve the litigation. More from Variety How HBO's Casey Bloys Wound Up With the Keys to Paramount-Warner Bros.' Streaming Empire, and What's to Come Paramount Deal and U.S. Film Incentive Reflect Hollywood's Deepening Ties to Government David Ellison Recruits Mattel's Ynon Kreiz for Senior Role at Merged Paramount-Warner Bros. Paramount has tentatively set next Tuesday, Oct. 6, to close the merger, according to regulatory filings. The order approving the settlement by Martnez-Olgun was the final remaining barrier to Paramounts debt-fueled $111 billion merger with Warner Bros. Discovery, after it had been cleared by regulators in 68 jurisdictions worldwide including the Justice Department. [T]he Court finds the proposed consent decree represents a reasonable factual and legal resolution of the dispute, Martnez-Olgun wrote in her order. She determined that the proposed settlement agreement reflects a procedurally sound resolution. The parties reached their agreement following highly contested, however brief, litigation, and they reached their agreement following what they report to have been several rounds of in-depth negotiations, the judge wrote. The merged Paramount-WBD will bring together two of Hollywoods biggest movie studios; the HBO Max and Paramount+ streaming services; and TV businesses including CBS, CNN, MTV, TBS, Comedy Central, Food Network and more. The new companys entertainment franchises will span Harry Potter, Game of Thrones and other HBO hits, the DC Universe, Yellowstone, Mission: Impossible, Top Gun and the Nickelodeon kids empire. Some of the top leadership of the soon-to-be-merged company, whose name hasnt been revealed at this point, is already taking shape. On Wednesday came word that Ellison has recruited Ynon Kreiz, who is stepping down as Mattels CEO, for a senior management role at the combined Paramount-WBD. Casey Bloys, head of WBDs HBO, is poised to assume oversight of the combined Paramount-Warner Bros. streaming business after Cindy Holland announced Tuesday she was stepping down from her role running Paramount+ and other direct-to-consumer. With the deal close, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav is expected to depart. Zaslav stands to earn more than $550 million in stock and cash once the Paramount-WBD deal closes, including $34.2 million in cash severance payments. Other top WBD execs anticipated to exit include chief revenue and strategy officer Bruce Campbell and CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels. Martnez-Olguns ruling came after merger opponents filed official objections with the court over Paramounts settlement with the states . The consent decree includes no structural remedies (i.e., divestitures) as California Attorney General Rob Bonta, who led the coalition of states in suing to stop the looming merger, had previously insisted on. Among the terms of the settlement: Paramount-WBD is prohibited from selling the Paramount Studios or Warner Bros. lots in the state for at least five years, and is obligated to invest at least an additional $300 million on film production in the U.S. annually. The combined Paramount-WB also must release at least 30 movies for theatrical distribution in the first two years (something Ellison has repeatedly promised he would do) and at least 32 in years 3-5, with a 45-day window for wide-release films. The merged Paramount-Warner Bros. also will be subject to monitoring by a news editorial independence board, which will establish guiding editorial and journalism principles for for CNN and CBS News. Questioned by the judge last week about how the settlement addresses the state AGs concerns over fair competition in the three markets identified in the lawsuit wide-release movies, tentpole movies and basic cable Paula Blizzard, senior assistant attorney general for the antitrust section of the California Attorney Generals Office, said the reasoning was that the states were wary about permanently blocking the Paramount-WBD deal and she said Warner Bros. Discovery, if it were denied the deal to merge with Paramount, would likely seek another M&A partner. Sometimes we say, here are some remedies that will address the harm we see, but are not going to permanently change the structure by either completely blocking the merger or [requiring] divestment, and this is one of those cases, Blizzard told the judge. In her order, Martnez-Olgun wrote that she found that the proposed consent includes important backstops requiring divestment of studios and/or cable channels in case of the combined entitys failure to comply with the proposed consent decrees terms. Further, the proposed consent decree imposes these requirements on film distribution and basic cable negotiations in the midst of a rapidly changing marketplace. The Court therefore finds that the proposed consent decree reflects a settlement between the parties that is a fair, reasonable, and good faith approach to address the competitive harms alleged in the Complaint, and does not violate the law or public policy. The groups behind the #BlockTheMerger coalition, for one, filed an amicus brief with the court urging Martnez-Olgun to reject the settlement . And the judge had left open the door to a potential additional third-party review of the settlement: Martnez-Olguin asked both the AGs and Paramount to respond to a letter submitted by Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) to urge the Court to subject the proposed consent decree to an independent public-interest review before entering it. In separate filings Monday, Paramount and the AGs countered that the deal was vigorously negotiated, has teeth and should not be subjected to an independent public interest review. Paramount lawyers argued that the deal resolves the AGs primary concern of a reduction in theatrical releases after it merges with Warner Bros. Discovery. Martnez-Olguin noted that Amici express dismay at many of the proposed consent decrees provisions. However, a proposed consent decree like this one represents a negotiated settlement that does not fully remediate an alleged violation or even necessarily resolve the ultimate factual and legal issues of a case.

Rohit Sharma: Veteran India opener Rohit Sharma described the uncharacteristic celebration behind his 35th ODI century against the West Indies at the ACA Stadium in Guwahati as a deeply personal moment, revealing that it was strictly meant for myself. Rohit smashed a brilliant 101 off 75 balls to set up India's historic run-chase of 406 against the West Indies, while stitching a monumental 255-run opening stand with skipper Shubman Gill, who slammed an unbeaten 223. After reaching his century, Rohit did a high-knee kind of jog while completing the single and did a light bat raise. I keep that celebration for myself. Ah, it's for me. It's for me. Some things are just meant to be with you. It's not to be shared. So yeah, that was for me, Rohit said after the match ended. He also shared a light-hearted exchange with teammate Ravindra Jadeja, who quizzed him about the celebration on the field. He was asking me what that was about. I said I'll tell you in the dressing room. It's for me. But he was quite innovative. He wanted me to come and slide and jump, and that's how he wanted me to celebrate. I said, 'Man, after 50 overs of fielding and batting almost for 25-30 overs, I was never going to do that,' he said. Reflecting on the record-breaking chase, Rohit emphasised that the key was not getting overwhelmed by the 400-plus scoreboard and focusing purely on building partnerships. Absolutely. I think the wicket was good. We just wanted to continue to keep batting. We were not thinking too much about the scoreboard, to be honest. We were just trying to play according to the merit of the ball, and we kept stitching the partnership, which was, I think, when you're chasing a target like that, you need to keep stitching big partnerships, and that's what we did, he observed. Rohit was all praise for his opening partner Gill, who stayed till the end to anchor India to a famous eight-wicket victory. Gill was fantastic on the other side, very much in control of his batting the entire innings, and to stay not out till the end was fantastic to see as well, he said. Batting for nearly 30 overs after spending 50 overs on the field in oppressive humidity required immense physical and mental grit, something Rohit attributed to sheer concentration and years of experience. Again, that comes down to concentration. You've got to keep telling yourself not to throw it away, because conditions here are challenging, but that's where I wanted to just bring my experience of playing for so many years. You just don't want to give it that easily; try and stay as much as possible in the game, and we knew that the pitch was good, and we needed big runs from the top order, and that's exactly what happened. Again, that comes down to concentration. You've got to keep telling yourself not to throw it away, because conditions here are challenging, but that's where I wanted to just bring my experience of playing for so many years.

2nd ODI: 'Every Part Of My Body Is Cramping', Says Gill After Hitting Epic Double-century
Shubman Gill: Battered by oppressive heat and battling severe leg cramps, India captain Shubman Gill admitted that every muscle in his body was hurting after his record-breaking unbeaten 223 carried India to a historic eight-wicket victory over the West Indies in the second ODI here. In the face of the monumental task of chasing down 406, the second-highest successful run-chase in ODI history, Gill played an innings of supreme composure laced with 26 boundaries and eight sixes at a monstrous strike rate of 167.67 to complete a victory for India with 39 balls to spare and seal the three-match series, with a game still left to play in New Chandigarh. I mean, I think every part of my body is cramping right now, and it was very hot in the afternoon. When we had about 13 overs, it was feeling like we had already fielded for 20-25 overs, the way they were batting. So great a game, I think, Gill said at the end of the game. Gill reached his 150 off a staggering 89 balls before bringing up his double century off just 117 deliveries with a single off Lawes in the 39th over. In doing so, he broke Ishan Kishan's record (126 balls) for the fastest ODI double-century in world cricket. It was also Gills second career ODI double century, making him the only captain in cricket history to score double tons in both Tests and ODIs while leading the side. His unbeaten 223 also surpassed Glenn Maxwell's 201 not out against Afghanistan in 2023 to become the highest individual score in an ODI run-chase. I mean, at the halfway mark, 400 on the board, there was a bit of pressure on us. Never, no matter how good the wicket is, no matter how small the ground is, chasing 400 is never easy. So very pleased with the performance and very happy that I was able to stay till the end and finish the game for the team, noted Gill. Detailing his tactical approach during the epic chase, the right-handed batter explained how breaking down the massive target into smaller, manageable phases with opening partner Rohit Sharma made the task effortless. Honestly, it's just about playing; I break the game into small parts. First, we had a target in the powerplay that if we get around 75-80 runs without losing any wicket, that would be a good start. Initially, the ball might do a bit with the new ball. Once the ball gets old, the wicket would get much better to bat on, and one side was very short, so we thought we were going to target that side whenever the fast bowlers came on. And at about 25 overs, I thought if we were around 200-210, we'd be in a good space. But I think we were around 230-240, and I think after the powerplay, the pressure never really was on us. It was more on them, and we didn't lose any wickets up until halfway through our innings, so that was a great bonus for us, he explained. While pleased with the bat, Gill remained brutally honest about India's bowling performance in the first half of the match, noting that the Caribbean batters took early control before the hosts staged a late comeback to restrict them to 405/7. I thought initially we didn't bowl that well in the powerplay, much like the first game as well. We didn't bowl well in the powerplay, and they batted with a lot of freedom. They batted quite well, and I think at one point it looked like they might get even 420-430, and to be able to pull the game back, even if it's 25-30 runs, was a bonus for us at the back end of the innings, he observed. I thought initially we didn't bowl that well in the powerplay, much like the first game as well. We didn't bowl well in the powerplay, and they batted with a lot of freedom.
