IPL Auction: Not 1355 — only 350 players will go under the hammer on December 16

Among the 35 new additions to the final list, South African wicketkeeper-batter Quinton de Kock stands out as a surprise entry. De Kock was not part of the original document but was later included following a recommendation from a franchise. His addition comes soon after he reversed his international retirement and scored a century in the ODI against India in Visakhapatnam.

Alien signal or atmospheric mystery? NASA reveals truth behind red ‘jellyfish’ lights and sprites over Earth

Mysterious red lights falling from space, initially thought to be alien signals, have been identified by scientists as red sprites. These rare upper-atmosphere lightning phenomena occur high above thunderstorms, appearing as upward-traveling pillars or jellyfish-shaped glows. Captured by citizen scientists and astronauts, these striking electrical events are triggered by powerful ground lightning strikes.

'India Shouldn't Be In Delusion': Munir Warns Of 'Severe' Response In 1st Address As Tri-Services Chief

Pakistan’s newly appointed first-ever Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) and Chief of Army Staff, Field Marshal Asim Munir, reaffirmed the country’s peaceful stance while issuing a stern warning to India against any attempts to challenge Islamabad’s sovereignty or territorial integrity. Addressing armed forces officers during a guard of honour ceremony at the General Headquarters (GHQ), Munir emphasised, “No one will be allowed to test Pakistan’s resolve.” He underscored that any act of aggression would trigger a response that is “much more swift and severe.” "India should not be in any delusion [as] Pakistan's response [in case of any aggression] will be even more swift and intense," he said. The remarks come amid heightened tensions following India’s Operation Sindoor launched on May 7, which targeted terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. This operation was a response to the Pahalgam attack that claimed 26 civilian lives and resulted in four days of intense military clashes, which ceased following an agreed halt to hostilities on May 10. Munir's Warning To Taliban  Munir also addressed ongoing issues with the Afghan Taliban regime, stating a clear message has been delivered from Islamabad to Kabul. “The Taliban have no option but to choose between Fitna al-Khawarij (the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan) and Pakistan,” he said, referring to the extremist group designated by Pakistan last year as “Fitna al-Khawarij,” a term drawn from early Islamic history denoting violent factions. Highlighting the significance of the newly formed Defence Forces Headquarters, Munir called it a symbol of historic change designed to enhance Pakistan’s defence capabilities. “In light of evolving threats, it is vital that multi-domain operations be further integrated under a unified command system,” he stated. Munir assured that while coordination would improve, each service branch would retain its unique operational identity.  The ceremony was attended by top military leaders, including Pakistan Air Force Chief Air Chief Marshal Zaheer Ahmed Baber Sidhu, Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Naveed Ashraf, and senior officers from all three branches. Field Marshal Munir officially assumed the role of the first CDF last week, following the government's notification of his appointment for a five-year term. He will continue to serve concurrently as Chief of Army Staff. The role of CDF was created after the 27th Constitutional Amendment and subsequent revisions made to the Pakistan Army, Air Force, and Navy (Amendment) Bills in 2025.

Trump Mulls Fresh Tariffs On India For 'Dumping' Rice In US

US President Donald Trump has indicated that his administration is prepared to tighten trade barriers on key agricultural imports after American farmers raised alarms over foreign goods flooding the market at artificially low prices. The remarks came during a White House roundtable where Trump unveiled a $12 billion support package aimed at stabilizing struggling agricultural producers. Farmers Push For Tougher Trade Action Producers from across the country told the President that subsidized foreign rice, particularly from India, was eroding market prices at home and placing U.S. growers at a severe disadvantage. Several participants urged the administration to intervene decisively, warning that continued import pressure could destabilize domestic production in the long run. Responding to these concerns, Trump accused certain international suppliers of undercutting the American market. He described their practices as “cheating,” asserting that U.S. authorities would look into claims of rice being dumped into the country at rates American farmers cannot compete with. #WATCH | US President Donald Trump asks the United States Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessent, "Why is India allowed to do that ("dumping rice into the US")? They have to pay tariffs. Do they have an exemption on rice?"United States Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessent… pic.twitter.com/75tKFYt37G — ANI (@ANI) December 8, 2025 ALSO READ: Japan Lifts Tsunami Warning After 7.5-Magnitude Earthquake Off Northeast Coast Injures 30 Rice Imports Under Scrutiny Pressing the issue directly, Trump turned to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent during the meeting. “Why is India allowed to do that—dumping rice into the U.S.? They have to pay tariffs. Do they have an exemption on rice?” Trump asked. Bessent replied: “No, sir. We’re still working on their trade deal…” The exchange highlighted the administration’s frustration with what it views as unfair advantages enjoyed by some trading partners. Trump made his stance clear, concluding: “They should not be dumping rice. They cannot do that.”

Japan Lifts Tsunami Warning After 7.5-Magnitude Earthquake Off Northeast Coast Injures 30

Japanese authorities on Tuesday lifted tsunami warnings hours after a strong 7.5-magnitude earthquake rocked Japan’s northeastern coast, shaking communities from Hokkaido to Aomori and Iwate prefectures. Late Monday night, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) swiftly issued tsunami warnings after the quake struck offshore at 11:15 p.m. (1415 GMT), alerting residents that waves could potentially reach up to three metres (10 feet). Approximately 90,000 people evacuated as precautionary measures unfolded, with several ports along the coast detecting tsunami waves between 20 and 70 centimeters (7 to 27 inches). However, by early Tuesday, authorities downgraded tsunami warnings to advisories, and eventually lifted them altogether, with reports of no major damage, Reuters reported. The earthquake’s epicenter was located 80 km (50 miles) off Aomori prefecture, at a depth of 54 km. In Hachinohe city, Aomori, the tremor hit with an intensity rated “upper 6” on Japan’s 1-to-7 seismic scale, which was strong enough to make standing or walking impossible without crawling. Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi confirmed at a press briefing, “As of now, I have received reports of 30 people being injured and one fire.” East Japan Railway promptly suspended some train services in the impacted region. The affected area had previously suffered catastrophic damage from the massive 9.0-magnitude earthquake in March 2011. Additional delays are affecting northern Japan’s rail network, according to the operator. The JMA extended advisories covering a broad swath from Hokkaido, Japan’s northernmost island, all the way to Chiba prefecture near Tokyo. Residents were urged to remain vigilant, as a JMA official warned at a briefing: “There is a possibility that further powerful and stronger earthquakes could occur over the next several days.” Meanwhile, operators at nuclear power plants managed by Tohoku Electric Power and Hokkaido Electric Power confirmed no irregularities post-quake. Though thousands of households lost electricity in the immediate aftermath, power was restored by Tuesday morning. Japan remains on heightened alert as communities recover from this powerful seismic event, with authorities emphasising ongoing preparedness for potential aftershocks.
