The unanimous ruling issued on Thursday (July 31, 2025) by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals delivers a double-barreled legal blow for Google, which has been waylaid in three separate…

When Arrowhead, one of Ranthambore National Park’s favourite tigers, died of cancer, the Internet exploded with tributes. However, wildlife biologist Sanjay Gubbi, whose work focusses on the conservation of large carnivores such as tigers and leopards, believes that selective sympathies towards animals that have attained celebrity status, often because of their popularity with tourists, may be somewhat misplaced. He argues that tourists who enter protected parks with large cameras and have an immense social media following push for policies and management that are completely unscientific. “People may go on a safari and take a picture of a tiger limping or…

India hoped Karun Nair and Washington Sundar would give them a good start on Day 2 of the fifth Test, but the exact opposite happened. Karun Nair was the first to go when he missed a fuller-length in-dipper from Josh Tongue. It hit him right in front of the stumps and umpire Kumar Dharmasena had no doubts before raising his finger. Karun took a review for reasons only known to him. By the time the ball tracking came, he was already halfway to the Indian dressing room.

The second day of the fifth and final Test between India and England saw Joe Root and Prasidh Krishna going at each other as the duo exchanged words with no one taking a back seat. Soon, the on-field umpires had to intervene to separate the two. Quite contrary to his calm nature, the England No.4 was aggressive right from the very start, and he didn’t take kindly to the verbals thrown by Prasidh as he was running into the bowl. Joe…

Updated on: Aug 01, 2025 07:46 pm IST Akash Deep’s unusual gesture towards Ben Duckett after his dismissal drew criticism. KL Rahul’s timely intervention prevented further escalation.

Before the start of the fifth Test at The Oval, Akash Deep had dismissed Duckett thrice in as many matches. The needle between the two was quite evident on Day 2. If it wasn’t for KL Rahul’s responsible behaviour, things could have spiralled out…

In April, US President Donald Trump announced sweeping new tariffs that importing firms must pay to bring goods from abroad. Since then, some of America’s major trading partners – including the UK, Japan, and now the European Union — have negotiated down the headline tariff rates. The EU’s agreement has cut in half the 30 per cent tariff Trump had threatened. Trump argues the extra tariffs will generate billions in revenue and push firms to manufacture within the US. “Many refineries need heavier crude oil to maximize flexibility of gasoline, diesel and jet fuel production,” according to the American Fuel…
