  • PCB Files Complaint Over Trophy Ceremony Snub in Champions Trophy Final

    PCB Files Complaint Over Trophy Ceremony Snub in Champions Trophy Final

    The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has officially complained to the International Cricket Council (ICC). This happened after there was a problem during the final of the Champions Trophy, where their COO, Sumair Ahmed, was not invited to the trophy presentation ceremony.

    In the final match held in Dubai, India beat New Zealand to win the Champions Trophy for the third time. Since PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi was not at the match, Sumair went instead as their representative. However, the ICC did not call him to the stage, ignoring his presence completely.

    During the ceremony, BCCI president Roger Binny gave white jackets to the Indian players and handed out medals. Meanwhile, ICC chairman Jay Shah presented the trophy to Indian captain Rohit Sharma and awarded the winning team.

    A PCB official said, “We’ve filed a complaint because what happened is unacceptable.” However, the ICC is unlikely to give a formal response to the PCB. According to ICC sources, protocols led to Sumair being left out. They explained that only certain high-ranking officials are usually invited on stage, and since Sumair is not a top office-holder, he was not included.

    The PCB finds this explanation unreasonable and has called for an official public clarification. They believe that being ignored was disrespectful to Pakistan, the host nation.

    They are waiting for an apology and assurance that such treatment won’t occur again, warning that they may take the matter to the Board of Governors if necessary.

  • Robert Pattinson and Zendaya: A Behind-the-Scenes Help Moment!

    Robert Pattinson and Zendaya: A Behind-the-Scenes Help Moment!

    In a surprising moment, Robert Pattinson turned to Zendaya for help with a tough scene that was making him feel really stressed. They will both be in a new movie called The Drama, which tells the story of a couple facing surprising challenges just before their wedding.

    Pattinson’s Struggles:
    Pattinson was struggling with a scene he couldn’t understand. He said, “I kept writing and trying to find out what it meant, but nothing worked.” So, he called Zendaya the night before they were supposed to film. He shared all his worries with her for about two hours. She calmly helped him see that the lines in the script simply meant what they said—there was no deep hidden meaning.

    Emotional Challenges:
    This isn’t the first time Pattinson has faced difficulties while acting. He once shared that filming another movie, Die, My Love, nearly made him have a mental breakdown. He found those dance scenes really hard because he felt like he couldn’t keep up with good dancers like Jennifer Lawrence. He laughed about how nervous he was, saying, “I was sweating so much, I thought I was going to fall apart!”

    Upcoming Releases:
    Both The Drama and Die, My Love are set to come out this year, but release dates haven’t been announced yet.

    Rajasthan Police Won’t Get Weekly Off or Allowance Increase: Minister

    In Rajasthan, the government is not planning to give police officers a weekly day off, according to Minister Jawahar Singh Bedham. He shared this information in the state assembly during a discussion. The minister also mentioned that there are no plans to increase the money given for food and clothes for police constables. However, police officers can take more days off than regular government workers.

    The state is working hard to stop cybercrime. A special help number, 1930, has been set up to get fast help against online criminals. When a complaint comes in, the police can quickly find out where the criminal is located and take action.

    The minister promised that the government is serious about keeping the state safe and has already given 112 new vehicles with modern tools to police stations. Earlier, when asked by MLA Bhaira Ram Chaudhary, he also said there are no plans to give a risk allowance of Rs 5000 to all police officers in addition to their hard duty pay.

  • Starlink and Airtel Join Forces to Improve Internet Access in India

    Starlink and Airtel Join Forces to Improve Internet Access in India

    New Delhi: Starlink, the satellite internet company owned by SpaceX, has teamed up with Bharti Airtel to bring internet services to customers in India. This is a big step for Starlink as it wants to enter India’s broadband market. However, Starlink still needs to get permission to provide internet services within India.

    Airtel, one of India’s leading telecom companies, is already working with Eutelsat OneWeb on another satellite internet project. They are now excited to work with Starlink too. Starlink has a large fleet of 6,750 satellites operating in low Earth orbit, making it the biggest satellite constellation in the world. In comparison, Eutelsat OneWeb has only 634 satellites.

    Gopal Vittal, the managing director of Airtel, said that this partnership will help deliver high-speed internet even to the most remote areas of India. With Airtel’s help, Starlink will reach homes, businesses, schools, and healthcare facilities.

    Airtel is focusing on providing internet to areas in India that currently have little or no access. They offer various broadband products, including 5G services and fiber internet. The cost of Starlink’s services in the U.S. starts at about $80 a month and offers speeds between 25Mbps and 500Mbps. However, the pricing and details for India are not yet available.

  • EU Aims to Strengthen Defence Spending Amid Rising Tensions

    EU Aims to Strengthen Defence Spending Amid Rising Tensions

    On Tuesday, European Union president Ursula von der Leyen urged EU countries to spend more on their defence. She warned that with Russia being more aggressive and support from the United States declining, Europe needs to take charge of its own security.

    In a speech to EU lawmakers in Strasbourg, von der Leyen declared that the era of depending on America for complete protection is over. She demanded immediate action, saying, “We need a surge in European defence. And we need it now.”

    Recently, EU leaders agreed on a plan to raise around 800 billion euros (about 860 billion dollars) to boost defence spending. The plan includes providing loans up to 150 billion euros and changing rules to let countries spend more on defence items.

    Von der Leyen emphasized that these loans should be used to strengthen Europe’s defence industry. “These loans should finance purchases from European producers,” she mentioned.

    The rising tensions with Russia, particularly due to the ongoing Ukraine conflict, add to the urgency. Because the US’s role in NATO is uncertain, European governments feel pressure to enhance their military capabilities.

    In her speech, von der Leyen said, “Russian President Vladimir Putin cannot be trusted but only deterred.” She added that Russia spends more on its military than all of Europe combined.

    “This is the time to build a European Defence Union that ensures peace through unity and strength,” she stated confidently.

    Additionally, the commission is looking into allowing member states to use funds originally meant for less wealthy countries to support their defence efforts. A summit in Brussels next week will continue these discussions, with plans for a white paper that outlines more ways to boost EU defence financing.

    In the EU parliament debate, many lawmakers supported the idea of borrowing together for more defence funding, a move previously avoided by countries like Germany.
