Agimol Pradeep wins global nursing award for tackling South Asian donation gap

UK nurse Agimol Pradeep wins global award for tackling South Asian organ donation gap Beat 134,000 entrants from 214 countries in award's biggest-ever year Her initiative Upahaar has registered over 10,000 South Asian stem-cell donors since 2012 Will use $250,000 prize to expand her work and fund nursing education A UK-BASED nurse who has spent over a decade tackling low rates of organ and stem-cell donation among South Asian communities has been named the world's best nurse, winning the Aster Guardians Global Nursing Award 2026 and a $250,000 prize. Agimol Pradeep, a senior transplant coordinator at King's College Hospital and honorary senior lecturer at the University of Salford, was chosen from among 134,000 registrations across 214 countries and economies, in the award's largest-ever field. She was celebrated at a ceremony in Kochi on Saturday, attended by Kerala chief minister VD Satheesan and senior healthcare and nursing leaders. Her mission began when an Asian patient in the UK asked her whether his ethnicity played a role in his more than three-year wait for a kidney transplant, while others appeared to receive one within months. The question stayed with her and led her to investigate wider disparities in transplant access affecting South Asian patients. If I didn't know the depth of it, how do I expect my patients to know about it? Pradeep said, recalling the moment that inspired her to dig deeper. Her research into South Asian patients and families found that low donor registration was not down to a lack of willingness, but a lack of information. She uncovered myths, religious concerns and misplaced fears holding people back including worries that treatment would suffer, that signing up could put their own life at risk, and concerns about organ trafficking. It is all about people knowing about it, she said, stressing the need to make conversations around donation more normal, and adding that awareness should begin in schools. In 2012, she joined clinicians and community members, including kidney donor and advocate Father Davis Chiramel, to launch Upahaar, an initiative promoting organ and stem-cell donation specifically within South Asian communities. What began as a small group has grown to around 100 volunteers, and the initiative has now registered more than 10,000 stem-cell donors each one a potential lifeline for patients with blood cancers, for whom genetic compatibility within their own community can be critical to finding a match. The response has been largely positive, Pradeep said, with around 80 per cent of people at community events welcoming once their concerns are addressed, particularly among younger people. Create an open space for conversation that will give you a positive result, she said. Her impact extends beyond donor awareness. Pradeep contributed to regulatory changes allowing internationally trained nurses to return to the UK workforce, helping ease nursing shortages work that, alongside her transplant advocacy, earned her the British Empire Medal. She plans to put half her prize money into expanding Upahaar to more communities and countries, with the rest funding nursing education to encourage more nurses to become advocates. Winning the Aster Guardians Global Nursing Award is an extraordinary honour, but more importantly, it gives me an opportunity to take a lifetime of work further, Pradeep said. Her goal remains ensuring that a person's chance of a life-saving transplant is never determined by their ethnicity or community. (With inputs from agencies)

US judge blocks Trump administration's new visa rules for foreign students, journalists

Washington, Sep 15: A US federal judge has temporarily blocked a Trump administration new rule that would impose stricter limits on how long foreign students and journalists can study or work in America. The decision by the Massachusetts district judge on Monday will bring some relief to international students, including many from India and has came one day before it was to come into effect. The judge ruled that the new policy would probably cause catastrophic damage to the US economy and higher-education system, rejecting the governments claims that it was needed to protect the country. Judge F Dennis Saylor IV also rejected the government contention that the relief being granted be limited to the plaintiffs and not the entire country. The preliminary injunction halts the implementation of the new rule while the case is heard in court. Plaintiffs represent almost 600 public and private institutions. But there are more than 5,000 higher-education institutions in the United States, the judge noted. Limiting relief to the parties represented would require maintaining parallel regulatory regimes and making repeated and potentially inconsistent determinations of whether a particular student or institution falls within the scope of the order, Saylor ruled. The Trump administration rule, finalised in July, put a four-year limit on student and exchange visitor visas, and a 240-day limit on journalists visas, barring China. Mediapersons from China had a 90-day limit on visas issued to them as per the now-postponed rule. The new rules were to come into effect from Tuesday. The rule allowed students and journalists to apply for extensions, but approval was at the discretion of officials at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), with no provision to appeal the denial of extension. Several organisations, primarily representing the higher education sector and labour unions, had moved court with a plea to strike down the rule. Harvard President Alan M. Garber had called the rule odd, contrasting the four-year cap with the typical length of a PhD programme. A typical PhD programme usually takes at least six years, so four years is a bit odd as the cutoff for the visa, Garber said in July. But the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) argued that the limits would help it curb fraud and make it easier to stop people from overstaying their visas. The judge also specifically noted the possibility that the now-blocked rule could be abused. He wrote that in particular, the obvious likelihood that the visas of foreign journalists who are critical of the government (or, more particularly, DHS officials) will not be renewed. The weakness of the connection between the rule and its purported rationales raises legitimate questions as to whether its real purpose is not to safeguard national security and protect our borders, but to achieve other, undisclosed, goals such as, for example, asserting greater government control over academic institutions and the press, the judge in his decision granting the preliminary injunction.

'Playing at Old Trafford for the first time as an opponent was a big moment for me': Tielemans

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 15 (IANS) Manchester United new midfielder Youri Tielemans believes the atmosphere at Old Trafford is one of the special experiences in football, recalling the impact of playing at the iconic stadium for the first time as an opponent when he was part of Aston Villa. In July, The midfielder signed a contract with Manchester United until June 2031. Last season, he registered seven assists for Aston Villa and helped his club to win the UEFA Europa League, scoring the opening goal in the final against SC Freiburg. Manchester United is a massive club. Playing at Old Trafford for the first time as an opponent was a big moment for me. I had never seen a stadium that big in my life. The atmosphere, the crowd, everything about it was amazing. Its the kind of place every footballer dreams of playing in, he told Jio Hotstar. The Belgium international is now preparing to experience that atmosphere as a Manchester United player, with the club looking to build momentum after a mixed start to the 2026-27 Premier League campaign. United have collected four points from their opening four league matches, beating Ipswich Town 5-2 after losing to Hull City, before drawing with Everton and suffering a 0-1 defeat to Manchester City in the Manchester derby. Tielemans believes United have the ambition and quality to challenge for major honours and sees his move as an opportunity to take the next step in his career. There is a lot of ambition inside this club, and a lot of quality. This is a good step for me to push on and hopefully win many titles here, he said. The midfielder is also looking forward to working with Michael Carrick, who was a former England and Manchester United midfielder and is now in charge of the club. Carrick was a midfielder, and thats a huge advantage for me because he can give me a lot of tips, and I can learn from him inside his structure, so I'm really looking forward to learning from him and, obviously, to linking up with my teammates, he said. Tielemans also feels his experience can help Uniteds younger players as they continue their development. When you grow up as a young kid, you look up to those senior players. You try to copy what they do in the changing room and in the gym and how they prepare to be the best. That example stays with you, he said. So hopefully I can be that example for the young guys coming through here. I want to show them the right way to train, look after themselves, and handle the pressure, he added.

'Champions League is possible, but I dont think we are the favourites': Rodri

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 15 (IANS) Barcelona midfielder Rodri has played down his side's status as favourites for the UEFA Champions League, despite their impressive start to the season, while insisting that the La Liga winners need to improve certain things to get in reach of the European glory. Hansi Flicks Barcelona have made a strong early impression, scoring 21 goals and conceding only four across their last five matches in all competitions. Their Champions League campaign has also started on a positive note, with the Catalan giants currently third in the league phase standings, behind defending champions Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich. However, Rodri believes Barca still have work to do before they can be considered the team most likely to lift the trophy. The Champions League is possible, but I dont think we are the favourites, he told Mundo Deportivo. The Spain international, who recently joined Barcelona after his spell with Manchester City, feels winning the Champions League would represent an important step for the club as it looks to return to the top of European football. I clearly see it as a possible title, and it is, if you can put it that way, that remaining step for us to establish ourselves and show Europe the nature of the team we represent. From this standpoint I dont think we are the favourites, because we must understand where we came from and understand what it takes to be champions, and this team still needs to correct several things to become champions, he added. Barcelona have not won the Champions League since 2015, when they defeated Juventus 3-1 in the final in Berlin. Since then, their European journey has included several disappointing exits and heavy defeats. The Catalan side were eliminated by Paris Saint-Germain in the last 16 in 2020/21 before suffering consecutive group-stage exits in 2021/22 and 2022/23. They returned to the quarter-finals in 2023/24 but again lost to PSG before reaching the semi-finals in 2024/25, where they were beaten by Inter Milan in a seven-goal aggregate thriller. Barcelonas 2025/26 campaign ended in the quarter-finals after Atletico Madrid edged them 3-2 on aggregate. Rodri believes his arrival, along with the experience of other senior players, carries an expectation to help Barcelona take that final step in Europe. Players like myself were bought for this purpose. I think the Champions League is not necessarily for the best team but a tournament of moments, Rodri said. In the Champions League, you have to control the moments in the knockouts. Red cards, penalties, conceding goals. These are the things that define whether you qualify or not. After all, before you win, you must lose, and you must learn, he added.

Historic success, says Himachal CM ahead of signing Kishau dam project pact

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 15 (IANS) Ahead of signing a pact amidst the presence of Union Home Minister Amit Shah in New Delhi for the execution of long-pending Kishau Multipurpose Dam Project for the rejuvenation of the Yamuna River, Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Sukhu, one of the six participating CMs, on Tuesday said the heritage of the state must remain secure, and it must receive its full due. The estimated cost of the project is pegged at Rs 15,000 crore, and Home Minister Shah will sign on behalf of the Centre, which is bearing 90 per cent of the cost of its water component. Besides Himachal Pradesh, the other beneficiary states are Uttarakhand, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Rajasthan. The historic success achieved in the interest of Himachal in the long-pending Kishau Dam project will ensure an annual income of around Rs 600 crore without any investment, CM Sukhu wrote on X, adding, There will be no compromise with the states rights, honour, and future. The interest of Himachal will always remain our foremost concern. Earlier, at a meeting held under the chairmanship of Home Minister Shah in Delhi on June 15, a consensus was reached among the six beneficiary states to sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for the implementation of the Kishau Multipurpose Project. The meeting had decided that 90 per cent of the cost of the water component of the project will be borne by the Central government as assistance, while the remaining 10 per cent of the financial burden will be shared by the six participating states. The meeting had also reached a consensus to allocate Himachal Pradeshs share of water to Delhi and Rajasthan in return for sharing the cost of Himachal Pradeshs portion of the power component. This decision will prove to be a significant milestone in the journey towards a cleaner and rejuvenated Yamuna, ensuring an increased flow of clean water in the river. Following the June 15 consensus on the Kishau project, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Rajya Sabha member Harsh Mahajan had expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Shah. He had said the agreement among the states concerned regarding the long-pending project is an excellent example of the solution-through-dialogue approach adopted by the Central government led by Prime Minister Modi. Former Himachal Cabinet Minister Mahajan had said the project would not only boost the rejuvenation of the Yamuna River but also open new avenues for water conservation, energy generation and regional development. Former Fisheries Minister Mahajan had expressed confidence that the implementation of the project would yield long-term benefits for Himachal Pradesh and play a pivotal role in achieving the goal of a clean, pristine Yamuna.

Sick conspiracy against AI, data centres: Trump calls AI risks a 'hoax'

President Donald Trump on Monday lashed out against concerns about rogue artificial intelligence, claiming that any efforts to limit the technology are part of a SICK conspiracy. AI taking over the World, destroying Humanity, and all other things bad, is a HOAX, Trump posted on social media, later suggesting that those calling for guardrails on the technology had also warned about climate change, which he also called a hoax. The president was pushing back against calls by tech leaders such as Anthropic's Dario Amodei, OpenAI's Sam Altman and SpaceXAI's Elon Musk to have greater government oversight of AI. The rapidly evolving technology has become a source of controversy after a series of hacks in recent months that showed AI agents can conspire to deceive humans.

Govt admits Achan blot on Srinagars Swachhata drive

Srinagar, Sep 14: The government on Monday admitted that the Achan dumping site continues to cast a shadow over Srinagar's Swachhata campaign performance, identifying the long-standing waste management crisis as a major impediment to the summer capital's bid for top cleanliness rankings. Commissioner Secretary, Housing and Urban Development Department (H&UDD), Mandeep Kour, speaking to media persons on the sidelines of the launch of the Swachhata Internship Programme at Amar Singh College here, said that the Swachhata goal cannot be achieved unless people start keeping their homes and society clean. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been talking about Swachhata for ten years, but how many among us have started taking steps in this regard? Unless we start it from home, nothing can change on the ground, she said, urging people to take apt decisions and measures in this regard. She added that the Swachhata Internship Programme was first started in Jammu on a pilot basis with the aim of creating awareness among students in this regard. Talking about the Srinagar Municipal Corporation (SMC), Kaur said just 3,0004,000 sanitation workers and warriors could not make the entire Srinagar, with a population of over 16 lakh people, aware about Swachhata, as it would be a difficult task for them. Therefore, the programme from the schools was aimed at creating awareness among the students to help make the society clean, she added. The Commissioner Secretary further saidthat tourists should not say that Jammu and Kashmir is very beautiful but dirty, emphasising that cleanliness was essential to complement the region's natural beauty. Asked about the rankings in the Swachhata campaign, Kour cited Achan as the main cause for the low ranking, saying that the site was the problem in Srinagar, where work has now started. The project was conceived earlier, but the waste processing was not taken up, due to which the ranking of Srinagar witnessed a decline, she said. However, she added that Srinagar, compared to other cities, is clean, as the roads and streets are clean. But the waste processing was not taken up, and thus it was an unmanageable problem which had no solutions. Now, the solution is there, and the waste processing has started to clean Achan. So, I hope Srinagar will rank in the top three in the next two years, Kour added. Meanwhile, SMC Commissioner Fazlul Haseeb, while giving details about the Internship Programme, said that under this programme, the government wants to train students regarding local segregation, bin segregation, door-to-door collection, and other things, as training students will have a large impact on society. We have started the programme on a pilot basis in 34 schools, and if it rolls out successfully, then we will increase the number of schools involved in the training, Haseeb said. He added that besides SMC, the partners in this campaign include the Directorate of School Education and the Mission Director, Swachh Bharat Mission.

Govt launches big student-led cleanliness push

Srinagar, Sep 14: Jammu and Kashmir aims to involve nearly 25 to 30 lakh students in a cleanliness campaign, with children being encouraged to become brand ambassadors and take ownership of public spaces, Commissioner and Secretary, School Education Department, J&K, Ram Niwas Sharma, said on Monday. Speaking about the initiative launched by the Housing and Urban Development Department, Sharma said the campaign seeks to involve students, teachers and professors across schools and colleges in promoting cleanliness. He said J&K and Srinagar have historically been known for their natural beauty and pristine surroundings, but the growing arrival of tourists has also highlighted the need to keep public spaces clean. Today's goal is for all our children to become brand ambassadors of cleanliness and start owning public spaces, Sharma said. He said people generally keep their homes clean but often do not show the same sense of ownership towards public spaces and government property. The initiative aims to develop responsibility among students towards their surroundings and public assets. Sharma said there is no reason why Srinagar cannot achieve a better cleanliness ranking than Indore in the coming years. He also stressed the need to protect J&Ks villages, lakes, mountains, rivers and heritage sites. He said J&Ks villages are no less beautiful than those in Sikkim or Meghalaya and can also aspire to become among the cleanest villages. Referring to Meghalaya, Sharma said a village there has been recognised as the cleanest in Asia and asked why J&Ks villages cannot achieve similar recognition. He also called for greater focus on protecting the Jhelum and preserving the regions lakes, mountains and heritage. Sharma said the campaign also promotes the concept of Waste to Wonder and Waste to Wealth, with the aim of turning waste into a useful resource. He said involving students in the cleanliness mission can create a long-term change in public behaviour and strengthen the cleanliness of tourist destinations across J&K. Sharma linked the initiative with the broader vision of Viksit Bharat 2047, saying J&K must develop clean surroundings so that people visiting the region experience well-maintained cities, villages and tourist destinations.

BJP is bringing UCC to target Muslims, says Asaduddin Owaisi

Digital Desk | Hyderabad, Sep 14 (IANS) All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) President Asaduddin Owaisi said on Monday that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is bringing Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in the states where it is in power to target the 18 crore Muslims across the country. Reacting to the Union Home Minister Amit Shah's statement that all 21 NDA-ruled states will implement UCC before 2029 Lok Sabha elections, Owaisi said that BJP is not bringing the UCC for equality but only to target Muslims. The BJP and Union Home Minister Amit Shah are doing this against Articles 25 which guarantees freedom of religion, Article 14 which guarantees the right to equality, and Articles 26 and 29 of the Constitution, the Hyderabad MP told media persons. So, the first thing we need to understand is that the BJP is not doing this for equality. It is only to target Muslims. The second thing you need to understand is that the soul of this country is pluralism. The third point is that Home Minister Amit Shah, the BJP and the RSS are trying to impose Hindu laws on non-Hindus. The fourth point is that the Law Commission, which was constituted by the Narendra Modi government, said in its report that a UCC is neither necessary nor desirable for India, Owaisi said. Fifthly, we want to ask: Why do you have the 'Disturbed Area Act' in your states, under which a Hindu cannot sell his property to a Muslim. And why do you have laws regarding Love Jihad? The AIMIM Chief challenged Home Minister Amit Shah, BJP, and the RSS to go ahead and implement the UCC there. If Amit Shah talks about 'understanding the chronology', then let me tell youstand in Goa and declare that you will implement the same UCC law there that you introduced in Uttarakhand, Gujarat, and Assam, Owaisi said. The Hyderabad MP added that those who are against Muslims say that Goa has the UCC. They are fooling themselves and trying to mislead the world. In Goa, if a Hindu marriage takes place according to Hindu religious customs, and after the marriage, if a Hindu woman does not have a child by the age of 25, her Hindu husband can take a second wife. There is also a provision that if, by the age of 30, she does not give birth to a male child, he can marry again. This provision exists in Goa. The third point is that there is an exemption for Catholics. What is the exemption? Their marriage registration can be done through a Catholic priest rather than through the government, Owaisi said. The Hyderabad MP criticised the West Bengal government's order to close 252 madrassas across the state, saying this was being done out of BJP's hatred towards Muslims and Islam. He said that they were shutting down madrassas because Muslims who study there receive Quranic education according to their religion. He termed this as a clear violation of Article 30 of the Constitution, saying minorities have the right to establish institutions of their choice. On row over food served at BRICS Summit 2026, Owaisi said that India's diversity includes different cultures, religions, languages and food habits. According to the AIMIM Chief, around 20 per cent of minorities in India are vegetarian. We do not know what discussions took place with China, what will happen to the land occupied by China where we used to patrol, Owaisi said. Why are you playing with them, the AIMIM Chief asked on Indian women's cricket refusing to accept the Women's Asia Cup trophy from Asian Cricket Council President and Pakistan Cricket Board Chief Mohsin Naqvi. When the Indus Water Treaty has been put on abeyance, how is the ICC contract an obligation? You are allowing the BCCI to make money through TV rights. Why doesn't the government have empathy towards the people whose family members were butchered by the terrorists in Pahalgam, Owaisi asked and claimed that even the recent Red Fort suicide blast was again sponsored by Pakistan.

Himachal varsity develops climate-smart direct-seeded rice variety

Digital Desk | Palampur, Sep 14 (IANS) Chaudhary Sarwan Kumar Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya (CSKHPKV) and Savannah Seeds, a leader in rice seed technology, on Monday announced results from a multi-year study showing that direct-seeded SAVA-134 FullPage can help make rice production more climate-smart and resource efficient. Compared with conventional transplanted rice systems, the approach reduced methane emissions by nearly 90 per cent, delivered the highest water productivity, improved soil health, and showed the greatest potential for carbon credit generation. The study, Popularisation of direct-seeded rice technology for climate change adaptation by reducing GHG emissions and acquiring carbon credit, was conducted in two major rice-growing regions of Himachal Pradesh. SAVA-134 FullPage is the commercial name of a rice variety that enables farmers to plant seeds directly into the ground like wheat, instead of growing them in watery mud nurseries and moving them by hand. Led by Dr Dhanbir Singh, Assistant Soil Chemist, Department of Soil Science, CSKHPKV, and supported by Savannah Seeds, the research compared conventional transplanted rice with direct-seeded rice across multiple growing seasons. The assessment focused on yield, water use, GHG emissions, and soil health. Among the direct-seeded treatments evaluated, SAVA-134 delivered the strongest overall balance of productivity, resource efficiency, and environmental sustainability. It maintained strong yields while using fewer resources and generating a significantly smaller carbon footprint. Rice is the worlds most important food crop, grown on more than 164 million hectares (405 million acres) and serving as a primary source of energy for more than half of the global population. Asia produces about 90 per cent of the worlds rice, much of it through transplanted systems that require flooded fields, intensive labour, and large volumes of water. These practices also contribute significantly to methane emissions. As farmers face rising pressure from labour shortages, water scarcity, production costs, and climate change, more sustainable rice production methods are increasingly important. Our goal was to evaluate practical solutions that can help farmers improve productivity while reducing environmental impact, said Dr Dhanbir Singh. The results demonstrate that direct-seeded rice can play an important role in advancing more climate-smart and resource-efficient rice production systems. This study is a strong example of a public-private partnership working to develop climate-resilient and sustainable farming practices, said Dr Vinod Sharma, Director of Research, CSKHPKV.

La Liga: Four things one learned in Spain's Matchday 5 this weekend

Digital Desk | Madrid, Sep 14 (IANS) FC Barcelona maintained their perfect start to the season with a 4-2 win away to Levante, while Real Madrid also won and La Liga saw its first managerial casualty of the campaign. Atletico Madrid won 3-0 away to Real Sociedad thanks to an 84th-minute penalty from Alejandro Grimaldo and a debut goal from Jonathan David, which settled an otherwise even contest. Deportivo La Coruna remained unbeaten on its return to La Liga after a 1-1 draw away to Getafe. Here are four things we learned from Matchday 5 in La Liga. 1. Raphinha takes control Although Lamine Yamal's two goals grabbed the headlines, Raphinha was again Barcelona's standout player at the Ciudad de Valencia Stadium, reports Xinhua. The Brazilian, who was left off the recent list of Ballon d'Or nominees, was at the heart of Barcelona's first-half attacking play and set up Xavi Espart and Yamal for the goals that gave his side a 2-0 lead after just 19 minutes. A muscle injury denied Raphinha the chance to impress at the World Cup, but it also means he has started the new season in flying form for his club. 2. Cruise control for Real Madrid Real Madrid enjoyed a comfortable Saturday night at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium against Rayo Vallecano in a game that was effectively over by the time Kylian Mbappe and Alvaro Carreras had put Jose Mourinho's side 2-0 ahead after just 17 minutes. A Rayo side missing several key players struggled to offer much resistance, and the home fans could enjoy halftime with the result already looking secure after Jude Bellingham scored Real Madrid's third before the break. Real Madrid's attacking firepower means there could be plenty more days like this at the Bernabeu. The bigger questions will come when it faces tougher opposition later in the season. 3. Inigo Vicente pulls the strings for Racing Santander Racing Santander have two home wins since returning to La Liga after Saturday's 2-1 victory over Deportivo Alaves, which would have gone top of the table had it held on to the lead given by Ville Koski's opening goal. Although Racing striker Yassir Zabiri will take much of the credit after scoring his fourth and fifth goals of the campaign, midfielder Inigo Vicente was involved in both goals, setting up Zabiri for the equalizer before playing the pass that led to Salinas assisting the winner. The former Athletic Bilbao midfielder had played less than 90 minutes in the top flight before this season. Although he consistently impressed in the second tier, there were doubts over whether he could make the step up. Vicente's performances so far should have gone a long way toward answering them. 4. Corberan pays the price Valencia coach Carlos Corberan on Sunday became the first La Liga coach to be sacked this season, with his side bottom of the table on just one point from five games following Friday's 1-0 defeat to Sevilla. Valencia produced another poor performance and failed to register a shot on target against a Sevilla side that was hardly at its best. Friday's defeat followed last weekend's humiliation at home to Barcelona. Although Corberan was not solely responsible for poor squad planning, with sporting director Ron Gourlay also sacked, and has had to contend with an injury crisis, Valencia have lacked a clear style or identity and the players have looked increasingly short of confidence.

Smith Casts Doubt Over Playing In 2027 Ashes, Sets Sight On Playing In 2028 LA Olympics

European T20 Premier League: Senior Australia batter Steve Smith has raised doubts over his participation in next year's Ashes tour of England, revealing he is managing his Test career on a series-by-series basis while targeting to play in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Smith, 37, is currently featuring for the Amsterdam Flames in the European T20 Premier League (ETPL). The right-handed batter has played 125 Tests and scored 37 centuries and is currently the second-ranked mens Test batter behind England's Harry Brook. I dont even know if Ill be there yet. Im kind of a series-by-series proposition, as Ive been for a while, and thats still a fair way away for me right now. So, yeah, Id love to win one there or to have won one there, but you wait and see if that comes to fruition. Right now probably its just the Olympics (as a goal) to try to be a part of that. One of the reasons why I wanted to play with Amsterdam here was just to continue playing as much T20 cricket as I can, Smith told The Telegraph on Monday. While Smith has not set a firm retirement date, he acknowledged that his remaining playing time will increasingly lean toward franchise T20 cricket. I still like to think I could play T20 cricket for a while. Whats next for me when I finish? Im not sure, but yeah, hopefully a bit more time left playing. Ive achieved a lot in the game. Its been a great ride for the last 15 years or thereabouts. Ive had a lot of fun. Im still enjoying it, so I dont have an end date, well wait and see. But its been a good ride. While Smith has not set a firm retirement date, he acknowledged that his remaining playing time will increasingly lean toward franchise T20 cricket.

Kahmiri Pandits mark Balidan Diwas in Jammu; reiterate 'genocide' recognition, homeland demands

Jammu, Sep 14: Displaced Kashmiri Pandits on Monday observed 36th 'Balidan Diwas' here, paying homage to members of the community and security personnel who lost their lives to violence and terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir. The community reiterated its demand for legal recognition of the violence against and displacement of Kashmiri Pandits as genocide and called for the establishment of a separate homeland in the Valley under direct Union protection. The programme was organised by Panun Kashmir, a representative body of migrant Kashmiri Hindus, with participants wearing black armbands as a mark of remembrance. A Veer Jyoti, dedicated to the memory of community members and security personnel who laid down their lives, was lit and later taken to the sacred Bhadrakali Temple at Thalwal, on the outskirts of Jammu, where it was installed as the Amar Jyoti. We have been observing this day since 1990 to honour the martyrs and reaffirm our commitment to continue the struggle till the achievement of our goal, which is enactment of a genocide bill and separate homeland as enshrined in the Margdarshan Resolution adopted by the community following mass migration from the valley in early 1990, Panun Kashmir chairman Tito Ganju told PTI. He said the community was not only paying homage to those who lost their lives to terrorism after 1990, but also remembering those who, it believes, suffered during what it describes as seven waves of persecution in Kashmir over the past 700 years. For the past 36 years, there has been a gross violation of our fundamental rights... Our struggle is also about safeguarding the constitutional rights, particularly the rights guaranteed under Articles 14, 19 and 21, Ganju said. He reiterated Panun Kashmir's demand for reorganisation of Jammu and Kashmir and a separate homeland for displaced Kashmiri Hindus, saying legislative and executive control in the proposed homeland should remain with pro-India elements. Without a separate homeland, we believe there is no other way forward, he said. He also called for the enactment of the genocide bill, proposed by the organisation in 2020, stating that the absence of statutory recognition has reduced the issue to a matter of narrative interpretation rather than acknowledgement of a crime of the highest legal order. The failure to name genocide has resulted in a lack of accountability and guarantees against recurrence, he claimed. He said the Constitution places the responsibility on the State to ensure that victims are given priority, which has still ot been achieved to this day. Ganju also raised concerns over the security of Kashmiri Pandit employees working in the Valley under the prime minister's employment package. He said the recent threats against employees demonstrated that security concerns remained despite an overall improvement in the situation. Our children who are there are effectively hostages. Imagine the kind of trauma they must be going through, he said, adding that the government measures aimed at rehabilitation would not succeed unless the security environment changed fundamentally. These experiments will not succeed unless there is a separate homeland, and no one can offer a better solution than the victims themselves, he said. Calling for continued resistance, he said, Struggle is the only option we have. If we had not struggled, this chapter would have been closed long back. Chairman of the Jammu State People's Movement, Col (Retd) Ajay Raina linked the Kashmiri Pandits' demand for a separate homeland with the Jammu region's demand for statehood. We want the two demands to come together -- the demand of the Kashmiri Pandits (for separate homeland) and our demand for a separate state of Jammu, because neither side can truly move forward without the other, he said. He said a strong Jammu would also be important for the security of Kashmiri Pandits returning to the Valley. Panun Kashmir convenor Agnishekhar said September 14 had a particular significance for the community, linking the observance to the killing of Kashmiri Pandit leader Tika Lal Taploo in the Valley on September 13, 1989. He said the day was meant not only to remember the martyrs but also to reflect on the circumstances that led to their killings and displacement of the community. We remember why they were killed, who killed them, what the purpose was and what the intent behind it was. Our struggle is rooted in confronting that intent, he said. He said the community wanted conditions in which Kashmiri Hindus and Sikhs who identify with India and Indian civilisation could return to the Valley and live with security and dignity.

Goa nightclub fire: Accused Luthra brothers surrender after SC rejects bail relief

After the Supreme Court declined to intervene in their bail cancellation, nightclub owners Saurabh and Gaurav Luthra, along with Ajay Gupta, have surrendered to a Goa court. The seriousness of their charges, stemming from a catastrophic fire in December 2025 that resulted in twenty-five fatalities, led the Bombay High Court to cancel their bail. The charges they face include culpable homicide not amounting to murder and criminal conspiracy.

Srinagar could enter top-three cleanest cities in 2 years: H&UDD Secy

Srinagar, Sep 14 : Commissioner and Secretary, Housing and Urban Development Department (H&UDD), Mandeep Kaur, on Monday stressed the need for greater public participation in keeping Srinagar clean and improving waste management. Addressing an awareness programme on cleanliness, Kaur as per the news agencyKashmir News Observer (KNO), expressed hope that the improved waste-processing system would help Srinagar secure a place among the top three cleanest cities in the country within two years. We can talk as much as we want about cleanliness, but nothing will change until we start from our own homes, she said. Kaur said the government could spend thousands of crores on infrastructure, vehicles and waste-processing facilities, but such investments would not yield the desired results unless people changed their habits and took responsibility for keeping their homes and surroundings clean. Referring to Srinagars sanitation workforce, she said the Municipal Corporation had around 3,000 to 4,000 sanitation workers for a city with a population of approximately 16 to 17 lakh. Can such a small number of workers force everyone to maintain cleanliness? They cannot, she said, urging citizens not to depend solely on municipal workers for sanitation. She also stressed the need to reduce plastic use, promote home composting and create Swachhata warriors in schools and homes to combat garbage and pollution. Tourists should not say that Jammu and Kashmir is very beautiful but dirty, Kaur said, stressing that cleanliness was essential to complement the regions natural beauty. On Srinagars cleanliness ranking, Kaur said waste collection was being carried out effectively in the city, while waste processing had remained a major challenge. A solution has now been found and waste processing has started, she said, adding that the project had been prepared earlier but its implementation had been delayed. Kaur said the Swachhata Internship Programme had been launched as a pilot project in Jammu to take the message of cleanliness to schoolchildren and encourage them to motivate their parents to maintain cleanliness beyond their homes. She said collective efforts by citizens, along with improved waste processing, would be crucial to achieving the cleanliness goal.(KNO)

Days After Gadkari Inaugurated It, Goa Restricts Porvorim Elevated Corridor Use, Bans Two-Wheelers

Authorities in Goa have restricted the use of the 5.15-kilometre Porvorim elevated corridor after multiple mishaps at the Panjim exit claimed two lives. The corridor was inaugurated by Union Minister Nitin Gadkari on Wednesday and opened to traffic on Friday. Officials said the closure is a temporary measure to assess traffic movement, congestion, travel times, queue lengths and diversion patterns. All entry and exit points towards the Atal Setu side have been closed until further notice, while two-wheelers have also been banned from using the corridor. Built at an estimated cost of 364.68 crore, the elevated corridor was expected to ease congestion between Panjim and Porvorim and improve connectivity towards North Goa and Mopa airport. The project began in January 2024 after procedural delays.

Fighting in Yemen intensifies as Houthis launch more attacks on Saudi Arabia

Aden, Sep 14: The conflict in Yemen intensified on Sunday, as government forces launched attacks against Iran-backed Houthi rebels along the Red Sea and Houthis fired into neighbouring Saudi Arabia, which supports Yemen's government. The Yemeni government vowed to send more forces to the Red Sea coast and one official conceded a painful defeat last week when Houthis captured the port city of Mokha and an island on the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a crucial shipping alternative to the Strait of Hormuz. The escalation -- especially Houthi attacks on Saudi oil infrastructure and its shipping in the Red Sea -- adds pressure on global oil supplies and prices, and that could give Iran leverage in its war with the United States. As Yemen risks descending into another civil war, the United Nations estimated that more than 80,000 people in the impoverished country have been displaced by the fighting since the start of September. One woman said a mortar shell fell nearby as she fled in the middle of the night from the town of Khawkha in Hodeida province along the Red Sea, shortly before it was captured by Houthis. I saw with my own eyes cars and buses burning, and bodies of children and women were lying on the road in a horrific scene, said the woman, who spoke on condition of anonymity out of concern for her and her family's safety. Houthis claim attacks against Saudi Arabia Saudi authorities sounded sirens Sunday afternoon in the southern city of Abha and Khamis Mushait province, warning residents to take shelter from potential incoming fire. Both areas were repeatedly attacked by the Houthi in recent weeks. The Houthis claimed to have used drones and missiles to target Saudi Arabia, including a military base just over the border with Yemen. Houthi military spokesperson Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree didn't provide evidence or say when the attack occurred. The Saudi civil defence overnight said a projectile fell in a different area near the border with Yemen along the Red Sea, injuring two people and damaging a mosque and several other buildings. The statement blamed the Houthis. Saudi Arabia did not announce any new attacks targeting the Houthis. The Houthis are targeting Saudi oil infrastructure and shipping as part of a recently declared blockade, but they have said they do not intend to threaten other countries' commercial shipping. Yemen says 500 soldiers killed as it vows to fight back The National Resistance, a government-allied force that had controlled coastal areas, said more than 500 government fighters were killed on the west coast over the past four weeks -- its first comprehensive toll. It also said more than 1,000 Houthis had been killed in Hodeida and Taiz provinces. A spokesman for the Houthis didn't respond to a request for comment. Yemen is home to over 40 million people who fear a return to the civil war that began more than a decade ago and killed 150,000, bringing many others to the brink of famine. Yemen's internationally recognised government and Saudi Arabia have been battling the Houthis for 12 years. A ceasefire that began in 2022 had mostly halted the fighting. A senior government official in Yemen said its forces will return to the Red Sea coast and fight back. People fleeing the Houthi advance told The Associated Press they saw forces withdrawing and urging people to run. Sultan al-Arada, a member of the ruling presidential leadership council, described the collapse of government forces in the port city of Mokha and elsewhere on Yemen's west coast as painful and regrettable. He said in the televised interview aired late Saturday that forces are currently regrouping and will return to the battle. On Sunday, Rashad al-Alimi, who leads the presidential council, sought to downplay the defeats as incidental, according to comments published by the country's state-run SABA news agency. The government, he said, will remain clear and fixed on the goal of retrieving (state) institutions and of reclaiming sovereignty over all national territories. On Sunday, the Yemeni military said it launched airstrikes on Houthi positions in Mokha, the coastal town of Dhubab and elsewhere in Taiz province. The rebels reported strikes by the Saudi-backed forces in Taiz province and artillery shelling in Saada province, a Houthi stronghold on Yemen's northern border with Saudi Arabia. The advance puts Houthis closer to a major US base in Djibouti The Houthis' advance puts them just 32 kilometres from the US military base in Djibouti, on the other side of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. It's the main US base in Africa and one of several foreign military bases in Djibouti, including those of China, France and Japan. The small Horn of Africa nation is already seeing the arrival of displaced Yemenis making the perilous water crossing. More than 2,000 Yemenis have reached Djibouti, the International Organisation for Migration said Sunday. Djibouti's Economy and Finance Minister Ilyas M Dawaleh, said on X that the country's navy, coast guard and other specialized agencies were conducting rescue operations and providing emergency assistance. Yemenis displaced by fighting worry about their survival The UN migration agency said Sunday that more than 82,000 people in Yemen have been displaced since the beginning of September. The displaced people are in a very bad condition, said Ahmad al-Masawi, the director of the Al Salam camp in the southern port city of Aden, who appealed to international organisations for assistance. They left their homes quickly without any clothing or anything. They are crammed in camps, houses and even on roads. Hussein Haydara sat outside a shelter at the camp in a white undershirt, as his children waited to be assigned to a tent. He worried about how far the shelter is from schools, hospitals and markets, and wondered how they will survive the next weeks or months. Haydara had fled his home in Hodeida once before, when the Houthis took it over in 2015. But this time feels more precarious. With the first displacement, we had time to plan things but this time we were forced to escape all of a sudden. One could hardly take their children and the lightest stuff possible, he said.

Women's Team Showed Solidarity With 2025 Men's Stance On Asia Cup Trophy: BCCI Secy Saikia

Dubai International Cricket Stadium: BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia reflected on the Indian women's team's decision to decline the Asia Cup trophy and cheque from the Asian Cricket Council chief Mohsin Naqvi after their triumphant campaign, stating that the team showed complete solidarity with the precedent set by the men's team last year. The Indian women's team opted not to take the Asia Cup trophy from Naqvi after winning the continental showpiece for the record-extending eighth time, following their 72-run win against Sri Lanka at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Harmanpreet Kaur and Co. did not turn up to receive their trophy from Naqvi, who is also the Federal Minister for Interior in Pakistan. The move mirrored the decision of the mens team which did the same after winning the mens Asia Cup beating Pakistan in 2025. Our men's team won the Asia Cup a year and a half ago. Our overall situation changed after the Pahalgam incident in April 2025, Saikia told IANS. Following that event, citizens across the country called on us to sever all ties and refrain from playing cricket with the neighbouring nation. However, our central government has a clear policy that we should participate against every country in multi-nation tournaments. We respect and strictly abide by that policy, and the BCCI remains ready to play in all multi-nation events. Saikia made it clear that fulfilling international sporting commitments does not equate to accepting all conditions. Our relations with that country have deteriorated significantly since April 2025, and ongoing operations continue. We simply cannot accept a trophy from one of their main leader who acts against our country. Just as our men's team chose not to take the trophy, our women's team made the conscious decision to stand by that same move, he added. It doesnt diminish the performances of our team. Our team played superbly. In the men's tournament, we defeated Pakistan three times. This time, we defeated Pakistan once and won against Sri Lanka. We have won every match convincingly, without any close contests, which is a source of great pride. Women's cricket is rising in our country, and there is no greater proof than our recent achievements. Last November, we won the 50-over World Cup. Recently, we went to Lord's and defeated England in a Test match, and today, we won the Asia Cup. In 15 to 20 days, we will head to the Asian Games to compete for the gold medal. We are also actively working on our strategy for the 2028 ICC T20 World Cup. Whether we win the trophy or not, the entire world and everyone watching from India knows how exceptionally well our women's team played and how they outshone the competition. Our team has come a long way, and that is what matters most, said Saikia. Everything went very well. We won, and everyone is extremely happy. Everyone is proud of their performance, and the biggest thing is that our countrys name is shining bright. There could be no greater cause for happiness than this. Everyone put in complete hard work; the entire team performed exceptionally, and our support staff worked tirelessly, which resulted in us winning this tournament so easily, he told IANS hours after the game. Saikia further lauded the womens cricket team for their eighth Asia Cup title and said, Everything went very well. We won, and everyone is extremely happy. Everyone is proud of their performance, and the biggest thing is that our countrys name is shining bright. There could be no greater cause for happiness than this. Everyone put in complete hard work; the entire team performed exceptionally, and our support staff worked tirelessly, which resulted in us winning this tournament so easily, he said.

Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Currently, there are no such plans. Right now, our focus is on tomorrow, as our team will be leaving for Japan via Delhi. So, all our attention is set on the Asian Games starting in Japan, where our matches are scheduled for the 18th, 20th and 22nd. Our goal is to bring home the gold medal, and that is our sole objective. Article Source: IANS
