Virat Kohli brought the fire, but Royal Challengers Bangalore needed more than just his intensity as Gujarat Titans held on to hold on in Ahmedabad on Thursday, April 30.

Defending a modest target of 156 runs, RCB needed early wickets to keep themselves alive in the contest and they got this through Bhuvneshwar Kumar. The experienced fast bowler struck twice in the powerplay to dismiss both Gujarat openers, giving the visitors a much-needed start to chase the target which seemed to be in GT’s control.

The biggest success came on the last ball of the fifth over when Shubman Gill looked to drive through cover. Kohli, deployed in the ring, reacted sharply and took the catch cleanly to complete a crucial catch. What followed was vintage Kohli – a fierce stare in Gill’s direction, a roar of celebration and the kind of passionate reaction that boosted RCB’s energy on the field for a while.

RCB felt an opening with both Gill and Sai Sudarshan returning to the pavilion. Gujarat’s top order has often set the tone for their chase, and Kohli’s animated celebration reflected the significance of the moment as much as the dismissal itself. For a side defending below par, confidence in the contest was suddenly back.

However, this belief was undermined by a chaotic batting effort early in the evening. After a fast start led by Kohli, RCB were all out for 155 in 19.2 overs.

The former RCB skipper came out swinging and attacked Kagiso Rabada in a thrilling opening encounter, scoring 28 runs in just 13 balls and 21 runs in one over from Rabada, which included five fours in a row. For a short while, RCB were flying at a pace of over 10 per over and looked to be headed for a great total.

But Gill’s decision to remain with Rabada proved to be decisive. The South African counterattacked to dismiss Kohli and exposed RCB’s fragile middle order. After seven overs their score was 71 runs for 2 wickets, but in just 10.3 minutes their score became 96 runs for 6 wickets.

Devdutt Padikkal scored 40 and briefly threatened to rebuild, but the Gujarat attack never loosened its grip. Arshad Khan took 3 wickets for 22 runs, Rashid Khan took 2 wickets for 19 runs and Jason Holder gave a brilliant all-round performance by taking 2 wickets for 29 runs and three catches.

Kohli gave spark to RCB in both the innings. Gujarat’s hand is still strong.

US President Donald Trump has earned a new nickname as tensions over Iran and the Strait of Hormuz fuel fresh market and political commentary. Analysts are now moving from the earlier ‘TACO’ label to the new term ‘NACHO’ for the US President.The change comes amid an ongoing blockade between the Trump administration and Iran over control and access to the Strait of Hormuz, a key global energy route, and continued disruptions in oil shipments that have hit global fuel prices.Bloomberg columnist Javier Blas shed light on the new term in a post on X.“We thought we were getting a TACO, ‘Trump Always Chickens Out.’ But so far we’ve got Nacho, ‘Not a Chance Hormuz Opens,'” Blass wrote.The Strait of Hormuz, which connects the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea, handles about 20% of global crude oil shipments. Any disruption along the route has an immediate impact on global energy supplies and prices.Two months into the ongoing crisis, Iran has reportedly tightened its control over the strait, while the United States has imposed sanctions on Iranian ports and shipping activity.Iran has indicated it might consider reopening the waterway if U.S. sanctions are lifted, but Washington has said any relaxation would depend on Iran meeting its demands regarding its nuclear enrichment program.Despite the ceasefire framework, talks between the US, Israel and Iran have stalled several times. A planned follow-up round of talks recently collapsed after Trump recalled his negotiating team to Washington.The disruption has already sent fuel prices soaring, with U.S. gasoline prices reaching $4 a gallon earlier this month for the first time since 2022.What is a taco?TACO stands for ‘Trump Always Chickens Out’ and was coined by Financial Times columnist Robert Armstrong.This refers to a pattern observed by traders and analysts in which Trump announces aggressive tariffs or policy threats, markets react negatively and then the measures are delayed, reversed or softened.This pattern has become widely used on Wall Street, where some investors buy stocks after market declines due to policy announcements, with the expectation that there will be a rebound if the threats are not fully implemented.The rise of the ‘nacho’ labelNACHO stands for ‘Not a Chance Hormuz Opens’ and was described by Javier Blas. This reflects growing skepticism among traders that the Strait of Hormuz dispute will be quickly resolved despite diplomatic efforts and ceasefire arrangements.White House spokesman Kush Desai pushed back on the narrative, taking issue with critics of the administration’s trade and policy record.“Are these the same geniuses who thought President Trump would never secure voluntary most-favoured nation drug pricing deals or renegotiate broken trade deals?” Desai said in response to the new nickname, reports the Independent. Trump himself has previously rejected the ‘TACO’ label, calling it inaccurate and a negotiating tactic rather than a reversal of his actions.“I eat chicken? Oh, I’ve never heard of that,” he said earlier, arguing that market reactions are part of broader deal-making dynamics.

Bus falls into Seine river after trainee driver loses control, passengers rescued in dramatic operationA convicted drug smuggler extradited from Dubai has been sentenced to six years in prison after investigators uncovered his role in directing a large-scale organized crime operation in Scotland. Stephen ‘Jimmy’ Jamieson, 43, was sentenced at the High Court in Glasgow after pleading guilty to involvement in serious organized crime.It was found that Jamieson had communicated with fellow gang members between March and May 2020 using the encrypted messaging platform EncroChat to coordinate drug supply and financial activity. According to prosecutors, the exchanges revealed discussions about cocaine, heroin and large amounts of cash.

Encrochat messages reveal drug operations.

The court heard that Jamieson was operating under the username “Patrolstaff” on EncroChat – a network which was later infiltrated by law enforcement agencies. As BBC News reported, messages associated with the account matched his known activities and also included references to media reports about his activities.Communications revealed that Jamieson is working closely with Jamie Stevenson, known as “Iceman”, who is currently serving a 16-year sentence for smuggling cocaine worth £76 million into the UK. The pair discussed drug stocks, financial transactions and outstanding amounts, including references to millions of pills and high purity narcotics.Further detailed pricing was exchanged, with cocaine being offered at £40,000 per kilogram and heroin at £18,000 per kilogram. Prosecutors said the messages demonstrated Jamieson’s important role within the network.

Link to comprehensive organized crime statistics

Jamison was also in contact with other convicted persons, including John Gurry and Stephen O’Donnell. Gurry was previously jailed for supplying cocaine after police seized cash and drugs from his home, while O’Donnell received a two-year sentence for possessing criminal property.The High Court heard that Jamieson arranged financial support for associates and co-ordinated the collection of large amounts of cash, which was described as “paper” in the messages, following police intervention. Prosecutors estimated that several hundred thousand pounds were handled during the operation.

Arrest and extradition in Dubai

Authorities arrested Jameson along with other suspected organized crime figures in the United Arab Emirates in September 2025. He was later extradited to Scotland to face charges.His travel history was also examined in court, which showed several trips between the UK and Dubai in 2020. Messages received from EncroChat included references to luxury spending such as high-priced vehicles and watches.BBC News reported that Jamieson had previously spent time for supplying cocaine, having been jailed in 2009 before being released early.

Sentencing and prosecution response

When sentencing, Judge Lord Scott said that the sentence was more lenient than if Jamieson had been convicted of direct drug supply offences. The defense lawyer said the case did not involve firearms or threats.Prosecutors described Jameson as a “key figure” in Scotland’s organized crime scene. The case was part of a wider international effort involving Police Scotland and global partners to dismantle criminal networks using encrypted communications.A Serious Crime Prevention Order has also been imposed, restricting Jamison’s future activities. Officials confirmed that violating the order could result in additional prison time.

ongoing impact

Law enforcement agencies have highlighted the EncroChat operation as a success in combating organized crime in the UK and Europe. Authorities said the evidence collected continues to support the prosecution involving drug trafficking and criminal finance networks.The case underlines ongoing efforts to disrupt transnational crime groups operating across borders, with further investigations expected to follow.

Japan’s rapidly aging population is forcing it to rethink how the country supports its elders, with some care providers turning to an unpredictable workforce, including bodybuilders and combat sports athletes. Companies like Visionary have begun recruiting physically strong men to assist with caregiving tasks such as lifting, mobility aids and daily assistance. This outlook reflects the growing labor shortage in the care sector as demand increases along with the aging population. The aim is to make care more attractive to younger workers by reframing it as a more active and physically engaging profession while supporting the existing workforce.

Japan is turning to bodybuilders to care for the elderly

Japan has one of the oldest populations in the world, with nearly a third of its people aged 65 or older. This demographic change is placing continued pressure on health care and long-term care systems. The country is expected to need millions of caregivers in the coming decades, with a significant shortage likely if current trends continue, especially in physically demanding roles that are hard to fill.Care work involves physically intensive tasks such as lifting patients, assisting with movement, and preventing falls. Recruiting bodybuilders and athletes provides a practical solution, as their strength and conditioning helps reduce stress during patient handling and the risk of workplace injuries. This approach also helps to present caring as a more dynamic profession, potentially attracting candidates who may not have previously considered the field.

Role of MMA fighters and wrestlers

While the most obvious examples involve bodybuilders, the broader narrative includes mixed martial arts and wrestling athletes. These individuals bring discipline, stamina, and situational awareness that can be useful in caregiving environments. However, their participation is limited and not yet a widespread industry standard, with most recruitment focused on physically fit individuals rather than specific sporting backgrounds.

Athletes are not replacing trained care workers but are being integrated into teams to assist with physically demanding tasks. They work alongside qualified professionals, while proper training in care practices, communication and patient safety is essential. Physical strength alone is not enough for this role.Japan’s response to its care shortage has also included investments in assistive technologies such as lifting aids, robotics, and AI systems designed to assist caregivers. Although some innovations remain experimental, these efforts reflect a broader strategy to combine human labor with technical assistance to maintain the care system.

What this means for the future of care

The recruitment of physically trained individuals highlights how Japan is experimenting with unconventional solutions to a structural demographic challenge. While this approach alone will not solve the workforce shortage, it signals a shift toward more flexible recruitment strategies that may influence how other aging societies address similar pressures.
