More than 500 people were arrested during a pro-Palestine demonstration in London on Saturday in support of the banned group Palestine Action, according to police.In a post on X, the Metropolitan Police said, “523 people were arrested today for showing support for a banned organisation.”Earlier in the day, authorities had already detained more than 200 protesters at a sit-in demonstration in Trafalgar Square held in support of the Palestine action, which is banned in Britain. Police were seen removing the activists from the area while other protesters clapped and cheered. Participants held placards in support of the group, leading to further arrests.Palestine Action was classified as a terrorist organization in July last year, making becoming a member of it or expressing support for it a criminal offense punishable by up to 14 years in prison. In February, the London High Court launched a legal challenge to the ban, ruling that it interferes with the right to free speech. The government has since been given permission to appeal that decision.Following the High Court decision, the Metropolitan Police temporarily halted arrests, but confirmed later in March that enforcement would resume.Since the group was banned, there have been nearly 3,000 arrests, mostly of people holding placards in support of Palestine Action, and hundreds of people now face charges.One of the protesters, Denis McDermott, 73, of Edinburgh, said he had been arrested earlier but was released without hesitation. “I’m a supporter of these great people,” he said, pointing to fellow protesters, adding that if the court process had been decisive “there would have been no need for all this”.Organizers Defend Our Jury said around 500 people took part in Saturday’s protest, which it described as “the UK government’s complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza and its misguided crackdown on peaceful protests at home”.He also alleged that police were making arrests “despite the High Court ruling the government’s ban on the group was unlawful, and leading lawyers warning that any arrests would be unlawful”.The ban put Palestine Action on a list of banned organizations that also includes Palestinian militant group Hamas and the Lebanese Iran-backed group Hezbollah, and has sparked widespread reaction.A judge has now halted all trials involving individuals accused of supporting Palestine action, and scheduled a full review of the cases for July 30.Founded in 2020, Palestine Action says its aim, according to its now-blocked website, is to end “global complicity in Israel’s genocide and apartheid regime.”The group has primarily targeted weapons facilities, particularly those associated with Israeli defense firm Elbit Systems.

Speaking to reporters at the airport on Saturday, Goyal said the evacuation was carried out following Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s instructions with coordinated efforts of the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and Indian missions abroad to shift the stranded fishermen from Iran to Armenia before bringing them back to India.

From Armenia, we got some good people to help us bring them back because they were very poor fishermen. 345 came in the first batch. More than 300 came today. The Prime Minister has always been concerned about all those people who are stuck in any crisis. This once again shows how much he cares for our fishermen who were unfortunately caught in the middle of the war in Iran. They have been brought out right from inside Iran,” Goyal said.He further informed that so far more than 600 Indian fishermen have been safely brought back from Iran with the assistance of Indian Embassies in Iran and Armenia. The returnees mainly include fishermen Tamil NaduGujarat, Kerala and Puducherry.“We are happy to welcome back our brave fishermen who are in the midst of the war in Iran. They have been able to come back to India with the help of the Embassy in Iran and the Embassy in Armenia. The first flight brought back 345 fishermen, mostly from Tamil Nadu. Today, we have more than 300 fishermen who have returned. Most are from Tamil Nadu, many from Gujarat, and some from Kerala and Puducherry. They had gone to Iran to earn a living, most of whom were from the southern part of the country. They come from various districts like Kanyakumari, Tuticorin, Tirunelveli and Nagapattinam as well as Pudukkottai, Mayiladuthurai and many other districts along the coast. The fishermen from Gujarat are mostly from Valsad in Surat region,” he said.Goyal also praised the coordinated diplomatic efforts of External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and his team, saying they ensured the safety of Indian citizens right from the beginning of the crisis.“From the first day when the war started, External Affairs Minister, Son of the Soil of Tamil Nadu, Jaishankar and his team were in touch with the fishermen, ensuring that they were safe. The embassy brought them together in Armenia, and we have arranged for flights to bring them to India. They may belong to different parts of India, but what binds them together is ‘Mahabharata’, ‘Tiranga’, our national flag and the love and affection of 140 crore Indians who were eagerly waiting for their brothers to return from the war in Iran,” the Union Minister said.Sylvester, a fisherman from Kanyakumari district who was among those brought back, expressed relief after returning home and said the evacuation had brought him safety and comfort.“Now we feel safe and happy. Our Modi government has helped us a lot. Without them, we would not have reached here. They helped us a lot; they even gave us good, good food,” he told ANI.

New Delhi: Even though India allocates thousands of crores of rupees annually to vaccinate children, RTI data shows that a significant portion of the funds have not been spent, raising questions over implementation in the country’s biggest public health scheme – the National Immunization Programme. Under the program – which provides free vaccines to protect children against several diseases including polio, measles and hepatitis B – the allocation has increased to over Rs 3,400 crore in 2025-26, but spending has consistently lagged. About Rs 2,250 crore was utilized in 2023-24 against the approved Rs 3,232 crore, while the expenditure in 2024-25 dropped to about Rs 1,971 crore against the approved Rs 3,186 crore. For financial year 2025-26, only about Rs 1,060 crore of the sanctioned Rs 3,434 crore was spent – ​​the figures were as of December and marked provisional. The data is based on financial monitoring reports submitted by states and union territories. Despite this, the program continues on a large scale. Government data showed that 2.3 crore to 2.5 crore children were vaccinated annually between 2021-22 and 2024-25. The data shows that full vaccination coverage has increased from 88.2% in 2021-22 to 98.1% in 2024-25, although there has been a slight decline in 2023-24. RTI activist Amit Gupta said the program is important for the safety of children and requires efficient, transparent use of funds with strong accountability. He also urged the government to expand coverage to include influenza, typhoid and hepatitis vaccines, saying these were now essential for comprehensive child protection. However, the RTI response also points to shortcomings in the data system. Gender-wise vaccination figures were not provided and instead relegated to another division, indicating fragmented record keeping. The vaccines are procured from a network of public and private manufacturers, including Serum Institute of India, Bharat Biotech, Biological E and Indian Immunologicals.

Chennai Super Kings’ decision to retire Ayush Mhatre came at a crucial juncture in his innings during the IPL 2026 match against Delhi Capitals at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Saturday. The move was aimed at accelerating the scoring in the final overs and contributing to CSK’s first win of the season.

IPL 2026, CSK vs DC: highlighted | Achievement:

At 175 for two in the 18th over, the innings had lost momentum after a strong middle phase. Lungi Ngidi bowled the 17th over and T Natarajan bowled accurate yorkers to limit the set batsmen’s ability to hit boundaries.

Mhatre, who had led the innings with 59 off 36 balls, was struggling to increase the run rate. With only a few overs remaining, CSK opted to retire him to bring in Shivam Dubey, who is known for his ability to attack the death bowlers from the start.

“There was nothing special. I was batting and the team needed some big shots. Shivam can also hit big shots. I wasn’t really able to do that, so the team planned it that way. It happens in sports,” Mhatre said after the match on Star Sports.

The strategy paid off as Dubey provided the needed late boost, helping CSK cross the 200-run mark and finish at 212 for two.

Earlier in the innings, Mhatre had played an important role with Sanju Samson by adding 113 runs for the second wicket. This partnership is now CSK’s second highest partnership against Delhi Capitals in IPL history. His stance carried the innings forward after the early dismissal of Ruturaj Gaikwad and maintained a steady scoring rate in the middle overs.

CSK’s total proved to be enough as they bowled out Delhi Capitals for 189 runs. Won by 23 runs and opened their account in IPL 2026.

The atmosphere at CSK feels like a family.

Mhatre also reflected on his experience within the Chennai Super Kings setup and highlighted the support he has received.

“It’s very different and feels like a family to me. They treat me like a kid, so I really enjoy playing with them. The support staff is also very helpful and working hard for us.”

With this retirement, Mhatre joins a select group of players including Ravichandran Ashwin and Devon Conway who have retired from the IPL, and is only the second CSK player to retire despite reaching a half-century.
