A day after Karnataka Chief Minister DK Shivakumar met Union Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution Minister Pralhad Joshi in the national capital, security at the latter's residence in Hubballi district was tightened on Tuesday amid calls for a national highway blockade by the sugarcane farmers.

As this happened, a heavy police force was deployed, and barricades were erected on roads leading to the minister's residence. The development comes amid an ongoing dispute over sugarcane pricing and alleged irregularities at sugar factories, with farmers raising concerns over weighing discrepancies, lower recorded harvest weights, alleged tampering with weighing machines and transportation-related fraud after harvesting.

IMF warns global economy could hit its limits as oil reserves dwindle
The IMF forecasts global economic growth of 3.1 per cent in 2026, up from its previous estimate of 3 per cent. Global inflation is expected to reach 4.7 per cent this year before easing to 4.1 per cent in 2027. The Fund warns that higher energy prices and interest rates could slow UK growth to 1.2 per cent next year. The global economy could soon struggle to withstand another major shock as emergency oil stocks dwindle and governments face mounting financial pressures, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has warned. In its latest World Economic Outlook , published on Tuesday (13), the Fund said the global economy had proved more resilient than expected during the Middle East conflict over the past six months. However, it cautioned that the measures used to cushion the impact of the US-Iran war were becoming harder to sustain. Rerouting oil supplies away from the Strait of Hormuz and releasing strategic energy reserves helped contain the initial impact on oil prices. But with inventories falling and public finances stretched in many countries, governments could have less room to protect households and businesses if energy costs rise again. Without shoring up supply capacity and replenishing policy buffers, the global economy could soon test the limits of resilience, the IMF said. The Fund also warned that geopolitical shocks could quickly trigger fresh price increases and supply disruptions as energy inventories shrink. The International Energy Agency announced its largest-ever release of emergency oil stocks in March, with further efforts to accelerate the release discussed in October. The United States Strategic Petroleum Reserve has also reportedly fallen to its lowest level since 1982, highlighting the pressure on one of the world's key emergency energy buffers. Why is the IMF worried about the global economy? The IMF marginally raised its forecast for global economic growth this year to 3.1 per cent, from 3 per cent in its July update. Its forecast for 2027 remains unchanged at 3.4 per cent. However, the improved headline figure masks growing risks. The Fund warned that a prolonged conflict or further escalation in the Middle East could push energy and food prices higher, putting additional pressure on consumers and businesses. It also identified possible disruptions to energy infrastructure, cyber-attacks and extreme weather events as threats that could amplify the economic fallout. Global inflation is expected to reach 4.7 per cent in 2026 before easing to 4.1 per cent next year. The latter figure is slightly higher than the IMF's previous forecast of 4 per cent, reflecting the prospect of energy costs remaining elevated for longer. The Fund urged central banks not to overreact to temporary increases in inflation, but to respond quickly if higher prices become entrenched in the economy. Silvana Tenreyro, the IMF's economic counsellor, said the global economy had been resilient, but that its capacity to absorb further shocks was under strain. She urged policymakers to move beyond short-term crisis management and focus on rebuilding economic buffers. The IMF has also warned of risks linked to a potential artificial intelligence-driven market correction. Although investment in AI infrastructure has supported economic activity, a sharp reassessment of the technology's commercial prospects could unsettle financial markets and weaken growth. What does the IMF forecast mean for the UK? The IMF raised its forecast for UK economic growth in 2026 to 1.3 per cent, up from 1 per cent in July. However, it expects growth to slow to 1.2 per cent in 2027, slightly below its previous estimate of 1.3 per cent. The Fund warned that prolonged high oil prices and rising long-term interest rates could weigh on household consumption and business investment. Higher energy costs can squeeze disposable incomes while increasing operating expenses for companies, potentially slowing hiring and expansion. The outlook presents a mixed picture for the UK government. The improved forecast for this year offers some relief, but the weaker projection for 2027 highlights the risk that a prolonged energy shock could undermine economic momentum. The IMF's managing director, Kristalina Georgieva, has separately urged governments to rein in spending pressures as global debt levels rise. Her warning reflects concerns that countries may have less capacity to introduce costly support measures if another crisis hits. The Fund said policymakers needed to strengthen energy supply capacity and rebuild the financial buffers that had helped economies absorb the initial shock. For governments, the challenge is to prepare for another potential disruption without worsening already stretched public finances. For households and businesses, much will depend on whether energy supplies stabilise or renewed geopolitical tensions trigger another sustained increase in prices. The IMF's message is that stronger-than-expected growth should not be mistaken for lasting security. With emergency stocks declining, debt burdens rising and several risks converging, the global economy may have less room to absorb its next major shock.

Bumrah over Muralitharan, McGrath: Buttler and Broad pick top 10 bowlers of 21st century
England wicketkeeper-batter Jos Buttler and former pacer Stuart Broad chose the top 10 bowlers of the 21st century, putting Indian pace stalwart Jasprit Bumrah at number three over greats of the game, including Australian pacer Glenn McGrath and Sri Lankan spin wizard Muttiah Muralitharan. Buttler and Broad were speaking on the 'For the Love of Cricket' podcast, which they co-host. The leading wicket-taker in international cricket, Muralitharan (1,347), who won a Cricket World Cup (1996) and ICC Champions Trophy (2002) in a career spanning 20 years, was placed at sixth spot, while McGrath, a three-time World Cup winner and the leading wicket-taker in the tournament history (71 wickets), was placed at fourth spot. McGrath has taken 949 wickets in 376 matches and is the fifth-highest wicket-taker. At the top spot was leg-spin genius, the late Shane Warne of Australia, who ended his international career with 1,001 wickets and a World Cup title to his name. He is the only member of the 1,0...

ODI World Cup: Bangladesh wicketkeeper-batter Nurul Hasan expects Afghanistan to rely on their spin resources during the ODI tri-series featuring Bangladesh and Zimbabwe, which begins in Abu Dhabi on October 17, as the teams prepare for the upcoming Asia Cup and ODI World Cup. Speaking to reporters before departing for the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday, Nurul backed Bangladesh to compete for the title while identifying the conditions and the return of Afghanistans leading spinners as key factors in the contest. Afghanistan have opted for a pace-oriented attack in their ongoing one-off Test, but Nurul believes their approach could change in the limited-overs competition with Rashid Khan and other specialist spinners returning to the setup. I think they (Afghanistan) will try to back their strong zone and their spin attack (in the ODIs) is good. So I feel they may opt for a little bit more spinning wicket, Nurul told reporters at the airport before departing for the UAE, as quoted by Cricbuzz. Afghanistans 15-member ODI squad includes Rashid, Mohammad Nabi, AM Ghazanfar and Nangyali Khan, giving the side several spin options for the tri-series. Bangladesh, meanwhile, will have mystery spinner Aliss Al Islam available, a development Nurul believes could strengthen their bowling attack, particularly in overseas conditions. Aliss has been doing well for a long time and I definitely think that is good for the Bangladesh team. Having a mystery spinner like that when we play abroad, I think every team has some bowlers (mystery) like him and I feel that can be a very good aspect for the Bangladesh team from that point of view, he said. Beyond the tactical battle, Nurul made it clear that Bangladesh would be travelling with the ambition of winning the competition. With two major ODI assignments on the horizon, he views the tri-series as an opportunity to build momentum and establish confidence within the squad. I think that if we play as a team, we should play the final and become champions, said Nurul. We have two big tournaments in the ODI format, the Asia Cup and then the World Cup. So I think its a good platform and if we can do well here the confidence will also be boosted up ahead of the Asia Cup and World Cup, he said. The UAEs hot weather presents another challenge for the touring side, particularly after conditions became a talking point during Afghanistans ongoing Test. However, Nurul stressed that both teams would face similar circumstances and that Bangladesh would need to adapt rather than use the heat as an excuse. Its a little hot, but I think itll be equal for both teams. So well try to adjust as much as we can through whatever capability we have, he concluded. The UAEs hot weather presents another challenge for the touring side, particularly after conditions became a talking point during Afghanistans ongoing Test.

Keely Hodgkinson's reply to critics: a world record, World Indoor gold and a split hamstring
Highlights Keely Hodgkinson has told Sky Sports that comments questioning her work ethic eally irritate her She says she posts on Instagram purely just for fun and that athletes have a lot of time to kill away from the track Her 2026 includes an indoor 800m world record, World Indoor gold, a British outdoor record and an Athlos win Next up are the 2027 World Championships in Beijing What she said Speaking to Sky Sports, Hodgkinson, 24, addressed the online reaction to her holiday and travel photos. She said she uses social media purely just for fun and does not think too deeply about it. Believe it or not, athletes do have a lot of time to kill away from the track, she said. The comments she singles out are the ones questioning her commitment. I get a lot of comments about that, which really irritates me, she said of questions over her work ethic. I'm like, 'If only you'd known what I'd done today [in training]!' She added that the idea of an athlete training constantly is not sustainable, that she and her friends love to mess about, and that even on training camps there is plenty of downtime. She started a YouTube channel a year ago, she said, to show people what life as a professional athlete is really like. Her Instagram account has more than 700,000 followers, according to reports of the interview. The answer is in the results Her season gives a detailed reply to anyone doubting her dedication. Date Event Result February 19 Livin, France Indoor 800m world record, 1:54.87 March 22 World Indoors, Toru 800m gold, 1:55.30, the second-fastest indoor time in history June 7 Stockholm Diamond League British outdoor record, 1:54.33, second to Audrey Werro July 18 London Athletics Meet 800m win, 1:56.21 August 14 European Championships, Birmingham 800m silver, 1:55.01, behind Werro's championship record September 11 Ultimate Championship, Budapest 800m silver, 1:56.26, after missing two Diamond League meetings September 18 Athlos, London 800m win in 1:56.40, in her new speed suit The world record had a neat symmetry: it beat Jolanda eplak's mark from March 3, 2002, the day Hodgkinson was born. At the World Indoors, she also ran the fastest split of the 4x400m relay final that night, 50.10 seconds, as Britain finished fifth. Keely Hodgkinson of Team Great Britain competes in the Women's 800 Metres Semi-Final Heat 1 during Day 1 of the World Athletics Ultimate Championship at National Athletics Centre on September 11, 2026 in Budapest, Hungary. Getty Images The injury behind the season Hodgkinson missed the Diamond League meetings in Brussels and Zurich with a hamstring tear before returning in Budapest. In September she revealed that an MRI scan after her 2025 hamstring injury had found an abnormality: her hamstring is split, giving her two tendons. If one tears, she can still keep running, but it may leave her more prone to injury. The speed suit and the style Her black Nike speed suit, which debuted at Athlos, prompted debate over whether it complied with the rules, though nothing has come to light to suggest it breaches regulations, and Hodgkinson has said she is confident it does. Reports say it was developed with Nike over a year and tested at a training camp in South Africa. She said she wanted to be comfortable but also a little bit sexy. There is a catch for the Olympics. Several outlets report that because Team GB's Olympic kit partner is Adidas, she will not be able to wear the Nike suit for Britain at Los Angeles 2028, though she could wear a different speed suit. Nike launched a clothing and footwear line she designed with the brand in July. Style has long been part of her approach. I get ready for a track meet as if I'm going out, she has said, treating the track like a stage. Gold medalist Gold medalist Keely Hodgkinson of Team Great Britain (C), Silver medalist Tsige Duguma of Team Ethiopia (L) and Bronze medalist Mary Moraa of Team Kenya (R) celebrate on the podium during the Women's 800m medal ceremony on day eleven of the Olympic Games Paris 2024 at Stade de France on August 06, 2024 in Paris, France. Getty Images What's next After a long season, Hodgkinson will balance rest and training through the winter ahead of the 2027 World Championships in Beijing. Her rivalry with Werro and the Netherlands' Femke Broeders-Bol, which she has called great for our sport, will be one of the stories to watch. Who is Keely Hodgkinson? Hodgkinson was born on March 3, 2002 in Atherton, Greater Manchester, and joined Leigh Harriers at nine. She won Olympic silver at Tokyo 2020 aged 19, breaking Kelly Holmes's British record, and Olympic gold in Paris in 2024 with a time of 1:56.72. She is a two-time European outdoor champion, was named BBC Sports Personality of the Year in 2024 and was awarded an MBE. An injury-hit 2025 still brought her a World Championships bronze.
