New Delhi: Following their early exit from the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, the West Indies national cricket team and the South Africa national cricket team have been stuck in Kolkata for over a week, drawing criticism from the former England captain. michael vaughn.Vaughan questioned why the England national cricket team managed to return home quickly while other teams remained stranded. England were eliminated on March 5 but reportedly returned home within 36 hours. Meanwhile, West Indies were eliminated on March 1 and South Africa on March 4, yet both teams were still waiting in India several days later.

Frustrated with the situation, Vaughan wrote, “Just to let you all know that West Indies were knocked out of the World Cup on March 1st.. Now it’s March 9th.. They are still stuck in Kolkata.. South Africa is in the same position..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is not right… England came on charter 36 hours after being knocked out.. As it should be for all teams..”Like players have also raised this issue quinton de kockDavid Miller and West Indies coach Darren Sammy, who have expressed concerns about the delay.However, tournament organizers say the problem is not favoritism but travel restrictions. According to the International Cricket Council and Cricket West Indies, the delay is linked to airspace restrictions due to rising tensions in the Middle East involving the US, Israel and Iran. Several flight corridors in the Bay Area have been partially closed for safety.Flights to the UK could avoid the worst-hit areas by taking the northern route, potentially allowing a quicker return to England. But routes to the Caribbean and South Africa pass close to restricted Gulf airspace, causing cancellations and permit problems. A previously planned charter flight was reportedly canceled due to lack of overflight approval.

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Tuesday agreed to examine the veracity of the Bombay HC’s judgment striking down amendments to the Information and Technology Rules that had allowed the Center to set up fact-checking units to flag fake social media content, making it mandatory for intermediaries to remove content or lose ‘safe harbor’ protection. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta told the Supreme Court that the Center does not intend to block social media platforms but to limit the damage caused to individual, institutional and national reputation through fake social media posts, which can be prevented through the FCU.

Fake news can harm the country’s reputation: CJI

Opposing the Centre’s argument, senior lawyer Arvind Datar told a bench of CJI Surya Kant, Justices R Mahadevan and Joymalya Bagchi that the government is already empowered to issue takedown orders and a social media platform or intermediary is bound to remove or remove such content within 48 hours of receiving the notice.CJI Kant said that if a fake post destroying the reputation of a person is allowed to remain active for 48 hours, the dignity and reputation of that person will be so tarnished that it cannot be repaired.“Look at how some of these platforms are behaving. Some examples placed on record by the government show how dangerous they are. Such fake news can also harm the reputation of the country and institutions. We will examine all these issues,” the CJI-led bench said. And petitioners before the HC Kunal Kamra, Editors Guild, News Broadcasters and Digital Association and Association of Indian Magazines were asked to respond to the Centre’s appeal in four weeks.However, the bench refused to accept the SG’s plea to stay the Bombay HC decision, which would have revived the FCUs.CJI said that there is no question of staying the decision. “It is better to hear the petition and decide the matter at once,” the bench said. It also rejected the SG’s request to issue notice on the Centre’s application seeking stay on the HC decision.A Bombay HC division bench of Justices Gautam Patel and Neela Gokhale had delivered a split verdict, with Justice Patel striking down the FCU while the latter upheld the validity of the rules. It was referred to the umpire judge – Justice AS Chandurkar, now a Supreme Court judge, who agreed with Justice Patel.In its appeal, the Center said, “The rule is in compliance with Article 19 and, in fact, strengthens the right of the public to have access to true and accurate information about the functioning of the Central Government. Article 19 does not confer any right to engage in knowingly spreading misinformation and as such, the regulation of such misinformation by the rule has no adverse impact on freedom of expression.”It said that the rule struck down by the HC needs to be examined from this angle also.

तीन साल बाद उत्तर प्रदेश में गेहूं और गेहूं उत्पादों के निर्यात का रास्ता खुला था, लेकिन अब पश्चिम एशिया में बढ़ते युद्ध के कारण इस पर संकट के बादल मंडरा रहे हैं. भारत सरकार ने वर्ष 2026 में सीमित मात्रा में गेहूं और उससे जुड़े उत्पादों के निर्यात की अनुमति दी थी। राज्य के व्यापारियों और आटा उद्योग को इससे काफी उम्मीदें थीं। लेकिन समुद्री मार्गों पर बढ़ते खतरों, महंगे बीमा और शिपिंग संकट के कारण खाड़ी देशों को निर्यात अब अनिश्चित हो गया है। इसका सीधा असर उत्तर प्रदेश के गेहूं व्यापार और मिलिंग उद्योग पर पड़ रहा है.

युद्ध के कारण निर्यात सौदे स्थगित होने लगे
निर्यातक संगठनों के मुताबिक खाड़ी क्षेत्र में जहाजों की आवाजाही पर असर पड़ रहा है. इसके साथ ही युद्ध जोखिम बीमा की लागत भी काफी बढ़ गई है. इसी वजह से कई नए निर्यात सौदे फिलहाल टाल दिए गए हैं. भारत सरकार ने फरवरी 2026 में 25 लाख मीट्रिक टन गेहूं और 5 लाख मीट्रिक टन गेहूं उत्पादों के निर्यात को मंजूरी दी थी। यह कदम 2022 में लगाए गए प्रतिबंध के बाद निर्यात की आंशिक बहाली जैसा था। सरकार का मानना ​​था कि अच्छे उत्पादन और पर्याप्त भंडार के कारण किसानों को निर्यात के माध्यम से बेहतर कीमत मिलेगी।

यूपी में आटा मिलों का बड़ा नेटवर्क
इंडियन इंडस्ट्रीज एसोसिएशन के महासचिव और यूपी रोलर मिल्स एसोसिएशन के अध्यक्ष दीपक बजाज के मुताबिक, उत्तर प्रदेश देश के सबसे बड़े गेहूं उत्पादक राज्यों में से एक है। यहां आटा और मैदा बनाने वाली मिलों का एक बड़ा नेटवर्क है। गेहूं उत्पादों के निर्यात में उत्तर प्रदेश की हिस्सेदारी करीब 25 से 35 फीसदी मानी जाती है. उन्होंने कहा कि राज्य से लगभग 1500 से 1700 करोड़ रुपये के निर्यात की संभावना है.

कई जिलों के उद्योगों को फायदा होना था
अगर निर्यात सामान्य रूप से शुरू होता तो इसका सबसे ज्यादा फायदा कानपुर, आगरा, अलीगढ़, गाजियाबाद, मेरठ और बरेली समेत करीब 20 जिलों को मिलता। इन क्षेत्रों में गेहूं आधारित प्रसंस्करण और निर्यात का एक बड़ा नेटवर्क है। यहां की मिलें लंबे समय से खाड़ी देशों को आटा, मैदा और सूजी की आपूर्ति करती रही हैं।

शिपिंग और बीमा लागत बढ़ने की उम्मीद है
इंडस्ट्री से जुड़े लोगों का कहना है कि अगर पश्चिम एशिया में युद्ध की स्थिति जारी रही तो शिपिंग लागत 40 से 50 फीसदी तक बढ़ सकती है. साथ ही बीमा प्रीमियम भी दोगुना हो सकता है. ऐसे में तीन साल बाद खुलने जा रहा निर्यात बाजार एक बार फिर प्रभावित हो सकता है और उत्तर प्रदेश के आटा-मैदा उद्योग को बड़ा झटका लग सकता है.

Twitch streamer Sakura recently talked about how she might handle a future relationship publicly following her breakup with Jason “Jasontheween”. During an IRL livestream with fellow creator Maru Lee on March 9, 2026, the topic came up when Maru asked if Sakura would ever show future partners on social media again. Sakura answered honestly and said that the decision would depend on the situation.She explained that although she likes the idea of ​​loving someone openly, being in a public relationship online can also bring criticism and pressure. Because of this, Sakura said that any future relationships would likely remain mostly private, even if people knew she was dating someone.

Sakura explains why future relationship with Jason may remain mostly private after “Jasontheween”

The discussion lasted for about three hours and 52 minutes during the livestream. Maru Lee brought up the topic carefully and even told Sakura that she didn’t need to answer if it felt uncomfortable.Maru asked her, “Will you ever be in a relationship or post about your husband on social media in the future… like letting people know you’re together?” Sakura paused before answering and explained that she had thought about it before.She said, “I’ve thought about it a little bit. Maybe… maybe not. But I don’t know. I like the idea of ​​loving someone openly, but I think criticism is not something that everyone can handle, especially if that person is not in the same world as us.”Her response showed that she understood both sides of public relations. It may seem natural for online creators to share the love openly, but it also brings the pressure of millions of viewers.Sakura continues by explaining that any future relationship will depend on the person she is dating.She added, “So, I think it would be very situational. And even if it were public, it would still be known, but private. If that makes sense. Like, I wouldn’t share about it. That’s to protect it.”This comment made it clear that she might accept a relationship but would avoid constantly posting about it.The topic gained even more attention due to a viral rumor earlier in the week. On March 5, 2026, an X user named @QueDeevo posted a message claiming that Sakura had shared a photo of her “new man” on Instagram and called him “the love of her life.”The post spread quickly and was viewed more than 2.4 million times. However, the claim was false. Sakura had not posted any such photo. Many users on X reported that the image and story were fabricated.At the moment, Sakura has not confirmed being in a new relationship. Her recent livestream comments suggest that if she does date again, she plans to keep it mostly out of the spotlight.

New Delhi: Decision NDA Strongly defended the Lok Sabha Speaker on Tuesday Om Birla During the debate on a motion seeking his removal, opposition parties accused him of acting under government pressure and failing to conduct the House proceedings impartially.The debate began when opposition members moved a motion to remove Birla from the post of Speaker, accusing him of bias and claiming that he made “baseless” allegations about some women MPs and did not allow opposition leader Rahul Gandhi to speak on important issues.

Birla did not attend the proceedings, although the Constitution allows the Speaker to be present and defend himself during such debates. The discussion is expected to end on Wednesday, when Union Home Minister Amit Shah will respond to the proposal.

Opposition accused the speaker of bias

Initiating the debate, Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi said that the opposition has brought the resolution to protect parliamentary democracy.He said the motion was necessary to “save the Constitution” and “the dignity of the House”.“The expectation was that the Asana would be neutral. But research into the uncorrected versions will reveal how many times the Leader of the Opposition (LoP) was interrupted. When the LoP was on his feet, another member was called (to speak),” Gogoi said.Quoting former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru’s comments, Gogoi said the Speaker is a symbol of the independence and dignity of the House.“Where is the freedom of speech now?” he asked.Gogoi said the opposition members personally have cordial relations with Birla, but he felt compelled to bring the motion.“But it is our responsibility to protect the dignity of the House and save the Constitution. This is to protect people’s faith in democracy,” he said.Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Arvind Sawant also questioned the conduct of the speaker.Sawant said, “Please introspect why we had to bring the no-confidence motion. The House cannot function on anyone’s wish. We respect their right. But they should not behave under pressure and compromise on independence.”Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra described it as “divine deed” that she was supporting the motion to remove Birla from the post of Speaker, alleging that he was “wrongfully” expelled from the Lok Sabha in 2023.He said the Speaker has set “less than graceful standards” while presiding over the House.DMK leader TR Baalu ​​called Birla a “gentleman” but criticized what he described as “harsh” action against opposition members and urged him to take corrective steps.

NDA says the speaker acted impartially

Members of the ruling party rejected the allegations and defended Birla’s conduct, arguing that inappropriate behavior led to disciplinary action against opposition MPs.Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju accused the Congress of targeting constitutional institutions since it lost power in 2014.He said that this proposal is an attempt to weaken the authority of the Speaker.Rijiju said Birla remained impartial and gave ample opportunity to the opposition to speak in the House.Quoting former Prime Ministers Jawaharlal Nehru and Rajiv Gandhi, he stressed that the decisions of the Speaker are final and must be respected by all members.The minister claimed that several opposition MPs had privately expressed discomfort over the proposal.According to Rijiju, 50 opposition members told him personally that they were unhappy with the move but were supporting it due to political pressure.During his intervention, Rijiju also criticized Rahul Gandhi’s conduct in Parliament and said that he often does not participate in the proceedings or leaves the House after giving his speech.He said that Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra could be a better leader of the opposition.Responding to Rijiju’s remarks, Priyanka Gandhi said she found it ironic that ruling party members were quoting Nehru.“He said that I was laughing. I wanted to clarify that I was laughing because the person whom he keeps criticizing day and night, Nehru ji, he used a quote from Nehru ji for his argument.”“They have suddenly started respecting Nehruji and he strengthened democracy and gave such a speech,” he said.

NDA allies supported Birla

NDA allies also supported the Speaker and criticized the opposition’s move.TDP MP Lavu Srikrishna Devarayalu praised Birla’s way of running the Lok Sabha since 2019 and said parliamentary productivity has increased under his leadership.He said the proposal was brought “not to be successful but to make great headlines”.JDU leader and Union Minister Rajiv Ranjan Singh called this proposal an attempt to put pressure on the Speaker.Shiv Sena MP Shrikant Shinde attacked Rahul Gandhi and said the opposition leader would face obstacles if he promoted an “anti-India” agenda in Parliament.The debate on this proposal is expected to continue in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday also.

Kyle Walker has retired from his England career, ending a 14-year stint in international football after earning 96 caps for the Three Lions. The 35-year-old right-back announced his retirement on Tuesday March 10, exactly three months before the World Cup.

Walker finished four appearances short of the 100-cap milestone, ending a journey that began with his England debut in 2011 and included five major tournaments.

Read the full story

The right-back’s last appearance for England came in a friendly against Senegal in June. Despite making 27 Premier League appearances for Burnley this season, he was not included in the recent squad for the World Cup qualifiers.

“After representing my country for over a decade, I have decided to retire from international football. Playing for England has always been the greatest honor of my career and something I will always be proud of,” Walker wrote in a post on Instagram.

“Thank you to every teammate, coach, manager, 12th player and everyone who has been a part of the journey behind the scenes. Every roar from the fans has pushed the team forward and I look forward to joining them to support the players at the World Cup.”

“The memories of the England shirt will always be with me.”

Walker was a key figure in England’s defense during that period, which saw the team reach the latter stages of several major tournaments. Former Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur defender endured heartache Finished runner-up at the European Championship twice, in both 2021 and 2024.

However, pressure was increasing on his place in the national team, with Reece James emerging as England’s preferred option at right-back.

England head coach Thomas Tuchel paid tribute to Walker following his decision, describing the veteran defender as one of his country’s greatest servants.

Tuchel said, “Although I only worked with him for a short time, I always knew that he was one of England’s great players who fully embraced the highest honor of representing his country.”

“An international career spanning 14 years and five major tournaments is testament to Kyle’s dedication. He can look back on his time with the Three Lions with great pride.”
