New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson lauded his side’s all-round performance after their comprehensive eight-wicket victory over India in the 28th match of the 2021 T20 World Cup in Dubai on Sunday. The 31-year-old said he believes that adapting to spin-bowling conditions remains critical in such high-pressure tournaments. Their spinner, Mitchell Santner, returned with figures of 4-0-15-0, while the other slow bowler, Ish Sodhi, was awarded the Player of the Match for claiming the wickets of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, while also going for a measly 17 from his four overs. Even in the 2016 edition of the tournament, New Zealand had beaten India with the help of a spin strategy in Nagpur. Ish Sodhi and Santner had picked up seven wickets among them as the Kane Williamson-led side had bowled out India for 79. “There’s always planning going into games, but this was a fantastic all-round performance against a formidable Indian outfit that puts up an incredible fight. Today most things...

Shahid Kapoor and Mira Rajput are one of the most adorable couples we have. Shahid took to Instagram to share a video in which he is smiling. The video also has Mira who is trying to wear an outfit properly. “Legend @mira.kapoor,” read his caption. It seems Mira didn’t like the video much as she commented, “The hell! Just wait and watch.” We think Mira must be planning a good comeback for this.

The film’s release has been delayed due to the pandemic. After fishing the film, Shahid had written, “It’s a film wrap on #jersey …. 47 days of shoot during covid. Just unbelievable. I am so proud of the entire team. It’s nothing short of a miracle. I want to thank each and every one from the unit for coming to set every day, putting themselves at risk and doing what we all love doing. Telling stor...

After more than a year of lockdowns, with limited access to nature, Magdalena Begh was delighted when her six-year-old daughter came home from forest school and informed her she had found three rat skeletons. One of them, Alia told her, was “pretty fresh”. “These little observations are very crucial to their learning – it’s amazing,” says Begh. Since Alia and her sister Hana, nine, started going to the Urban Outdoors Adventures in Nature after-school club in north London in June, they have used clay, learned about insects and made campfires, marmalade and bows and arrows. They are part of a wave of children across the UK who have joined forest schools since the start of the pandemic, many since September. Of more than 200 forest schools surveyed by the Forest School Association (FSA), about two-thirds said demand for their services had increased since March 2020. Among the reasons cited were increased awareness of the benefits of the outdoors, especially in relation to stress and a...

At no point did the jurors suggest that any of Mr. Khan’s treatment was illegal. Their letter noted that Mr. Khan, who never attained U.S. citizenship, was held as an “alien unprivileged enemy belligerent,” a status that made him eligible for trial by military commission and “not technically afforded the rights of U.S. citizens.” But, the officers noted, Mr. Khan pleaded guilty, owned his actions and “expressed remorse for the impact of the victims and their families. Clemency is recommended.” The jury foreman, a Navy captain, said in court that he took up a request by Mr. Khan’s military defense lawyer, Maj. Michael J. Lyness of the Army, to consider drafting a letter recommending clemency. It was addressed to the convening authority of military commissions, the senior Pentagon official overseeing the war court, a role that is currently held by Col. Jeffrey D. Wood of the Arkansas National Guard. Unknown to the jurors, Colonel Wood had reached an agreement with Mr. Khan to evaluat...

Chris Harvey’s reign as the year’s biggest bull won’t extend into next year. The Wells Fargo Securities head of equity strategy, whose 2021 S&P 500 target is 4,825, predicts Wall Street will stage a vibrant year-end rally and then see a losing 2022. “You’re going to bring equities to a level that they can’t sustain. We’ll have the equity market melt-up,” he told CNBC’s “Trading Nation” on Friday. “We’ll bring stocks to a level where the fundamentals and valuations don’t support them.” The S&P 500, Nasdaq and Dow ended the week in record territory. The S&P and Nasdaq were up 7% in October while the Dow gained 6%. “What we’re seeing from a lot of individuals and investors is they feel like the market is unbreakable at this point in time. We’ve had several pullbacks. You’ve bent it, but you’ve never broken,” said Harvey. “That brings another level of FOMO [fear of missing out], and that brings in a level of confidence.” Harvey lists strong economic fundamentals, better-...

After the enormous success of Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson’s #TeamTrees campaign in 2019, he has managed to raise a huge $7 million amount for the #TeamSeas campaign in less than a week. In 2019, MrBeast had raised over $23 million for the Arbor Day Foundation, which promised to plant a tree for each dollar donated. On October 29, 2021, MrBeast launched the TeamSeas campaign with the aim to raise $30 million to remove 30 million pounds of trash from the Earth’s oceans. The campaign intends to locate, remove, and recycle the trash from seas and oceans via river interceptors, locally-organized cleanups, ghost-gear removal efforts, and professional expeditions. MrBeast has raised around $7 million in donations within days of the campaign, which amounts to more than 20% of the desired target. MrBeast raises almost $7 million for #TeamSeas campaign, plans to remove 30 million pounds of trash from oceans The TeamTrees campaign is still live and has managed to raise more than $23.5 million...

Japan’s ruling conservative party held on to power in Sunday’s election, but gains by the opposition parties weakened prime minister Fumio Kishida’s authority as he attempts to steer the economy out of the coronavirus pandemic. Kishida’s Liberal Democratic party and its junior coalition partner, Komeito, together have won 274 seats as of late Sunday, with about 40 seats still undecided, in the 465-member lower house, the more powerful of Japan‘s two-chamber Diet, public broadcaster NHK reported. The LDP has also won a single majority at 247 seats, with Komeito taking 27 seats, according to NHK. Their combined strength has exceeded a parliamentary majority of 233 and also “an absolute majority” of 261 seats – a level that allows the ruling bloc to control all parliamentary committees and easily ram through legislation. But it also showed a loss from 305 seats previously. The Constitutional Democratic party of Japan, the biggest opposition group, was expected to pick up seats, as was...

Climate advocates said it’s imperative to deliver tangible new commitments in Glasgow. “The G20 leaders’ call to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius is very significant,” said Ulka Kelkar, climate director for the India office of the World Resources Institute. The Glasgow conference “now needs to back it up with measures to cut emissions rapidly in this decade and urgently scale up climate finance.” Jennifer Morgan, executive director of Greenpeace International, was more blunt. “If the G20 was a dress rehearsal,” she said, for the United Nations summit in Glasgow, “then world leaders fluffed their lines.” “Their communiqué was weak, lacking both ambition and vision, and simply failed to meet the moment,” Ms. Morgan said. In their statement, the G20 leaders said, “Keeping 1.5 within reach will require meaningful and effective actions and commitment by all countries, taking into account different approaches, through the development of clear national pathways.” Updated...

Shoppers fill a Target Store on a Black Friday in Chicago. John Gress | Corbis Historical | Getty Images “Buy now, pay later” has become a popular payment tool among young consumers, replacing standard bank credit cards. And this year, the largest retailers are adapting to the trendy payment option for the holiday shopping season. But it comes with a warning: defaults on “BNPL” payments have been rising and experts worry BNPL can be a recipe for overspending.    More than half of all consumers plan to use BNPL in the next year, and that’s good news for merchants. Shoppers tend to spend more per purchase when they use BNPL, according to McKinsey.   The spending option is being offered for purchases large and small. In September, Amazon struck a deal with Affirm that would allow consumers to split purchases of $50 or more into smaller monthly payments, a trend that Dan Dolev, Mizuho anal...

Team India pacer Jasprit Bumrah has stated that his side’s batters made a conscious effort to play more strokes against New Zealand so that they could provide the cushion of extra runs to the bowlers. However, Bumrah lamented that the approach did not come off as stroke-making was rather difficult in the first half. Sent into bat after losing the toss in a must-win T20 World Cup 2021 clash in Dubai on Sunday, India could only accumulate 110 for 7 in their 20 overs. New Zealand chased down the target in 14.3 overs to strengthen their chances of making the semis. Speaking after the match, Bumrah explained that the batters’ plan was to try and score some extra runs, keeping the dew factor in mind. At a post-match press conference, Bumrah elaborated: “We knew that, in the second innings, dew does play a massive factor. As a batting unit, we tried to give ourselves some cushion. We wanted to get some extra runs that could give us the advantage in the second innings. In the process, we...

Bigg Boss 15 is turning out to be rather boring. There seem to be three main reasons for the same. The contestants look rather image-conscious and are continuously in the game mode. Moreover, some of them are not getting any visibility. Thirdly, their imagination and drive to win is rather low. Another interesting thing is the presence of the two women, Tejasswi Prakash and Shamita Shetty. Both of them are leading the house though it does not come across very evidently. The game of the other contestants seem to revolve around the two. While Shamita Shetty is sought after as an advisor by many, Tejasswi Prakash has been part of the plotting and planning since day one. She has been one of the most active members of the Jungle waasis.

T he pandemic has broken many things, and among them are habits of a lifetime. Some people forged new norms, and discovered in lockdown new routines (working from home, gardening, baking, exercise, petcare), a tendency only underlined by the repetitiveness of the days themselves. The evident popularity of some new habits, such as cycling, will persist. Repeat something once a day for weeks and it begins to feel automatic – a habit, in other words. But the scale of the loss is unprecedented. Some habits were good to lose. It is interesting, for instance, that breaking the habit of going to badly paid, exploitative jobs has meant that far fewer people are willing to go back to them, while others have found respite from drinking or overspending. But many would be missed, especially the habit of spending time with others (including family and friends); the habit of enjoying art – going to the cinema, galleries and, for believers, the habit of worship. Pre-Covid about 15 million people a ...

WASHINGTON — The Biden administration announced on Saturday that it had reached a deal to roll back tariffs on European steel and aluminum, an agreement that officials said would lower costs on goods like cars and washing machines, reduce carbon emissions, and help get supply chains moving again. The deal, which comes as President Biden and other world leaders meet at the Group of 20 summit in Rome, is aimed at easing trans-Atlantic trade tensions that had worsened under former President Donald J. Trump, whose administration initially imposed the tariffs. Mr. Biden has made clear he wants to repair relations with the European Union, but the agreement also appears carefully devised to avoid alienating U.S. labor unions and manufacturers that have supported Mr. Biden. It leaves some protections in place for the American steel and aluminum industry, by transforming the current 25 percent tariff on European steel and 10 percent tariff on aluminum into a so-called tariff rate quota, an ...

US President Joe Biden addresses the media with President of the European Commission during the G20 of World Leaders Summit on October 31, 2021 at the convention center “La Nuvola” in the EUR district of Rome. Brendan Smialowski | AFP | Getty Images WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden convened a summit on Sunday during the annual gathering of G-20 leaders to address supply-chain challenges and other disruptions affecting global commerce. “Supply chains are something that most of our citizens never think twice about until something goes wrong. And during this pandemic, we’ve seen delays and backlogs of goods from automobiles to electronics, from shoes to furniture,” Biden said in his debut at the G-20 since becoming president. “Ending the pandemic is the ultimate key to unlocking the disruptions we’re all contending with. But, we have to take action now, together with our partners in the private sector, to reduce the backlogs that we’re facing,” he said. “Now that we have s...
