Report Claims Pakistan Planning To Annex Afghanistan's Wakhan Corridor | WION Dispatch

2025-01-17T16:50:00.001-08:00

Tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan have been escalating, with new reports suggesting that Pakistan’s defense circles are allegedly planning to seize control of the Wakhan Corridor, a narrow strip of Afghan territory often referred to as the country’s “chicken neck.” Defense analyst Qamar Cheema has highlighted this claim, and various social media posts suggest that actions may already be underway to take over the strategically significant corridor.

Troy Aikman doesn’t mince words on Cowboys HC job opening after Mike McCarthy’s exit

2025-01-17T16:46:00.001-08:00

Troy Aikman talked about the Cowboys’ head coaching opening on Monday Night Football after the franchise chose to move on from Mike McCarthy and his assessment was brutal. He suggested that it looks like there isn’t a coherent plan from Jerry Jones as they have let the incumbent walk without interviewing with other candidates. The Hall-of-Fame quarterback mentioned some people like Kellen Moore, Ben Johnson, and Aaron Glenn, saying,

“It suggests that there’s not a real plan. The fact that they haven’t had the opportunity to maybe interview a Ben Johnson and some of these others, Aaron Glenn. Kellen Moore being a candidate, that seems logical to me. He’s a guy that has familiarity with the building. He worked obviously with the Cowboys, with Jerry Jones and they know each other very well.”

Troy Aikman was also critical of whether or not the Cowboys vacancy is coveted right now. He acknowledged the high-profile nature of the franchise but said that it might not be the most appealing opening for potential head coaches. He explained it by saying that most candidates would want to do this job on their own terms and that’s hard to do in Dallas, commenting,

“As far as a coveted job, I don’t know that that is accurate. I do think the Cowboys are obviously a high-profile team and whoever is the head coach of that team is certainly going to draw a lot of attention, but I think most football people that take over as a head coach, they want to do it on their terms, and that’s hard to do.”

Cowboys HOF Troy Aikman takes Dan Campbell’s example to make his point after Mike McCarthy’s firing

Troy Aikman further made his point by taking the example of Dan Campbell, who has been so successful as a head coach in Detroit. He said that he might not be able to exact the same results in Dallas, noting,

“If you take Dan Campbell, for instance, is Dan Campbell (in Detroit) Dan Campbell if he’s with the Dallas Cowboys. It’s hard to imagine that he is. It’s hard to imagine that a lot of these coaches might be. I love the Dallas Cowboys. I played there for 12 years. I wish them well. But to say that it is a coveted job, I’m not sure I would necessarily agree with that.”

It was a damning indictment of the present-era Cowboys from a man who did as much as anybody else to make the franchise great.

The Sheikh, the Mogul and the Diplomat: The Trio Who Sealed the Gaza Truce

2025-01-17T15:50:00.001-08:00

At his seaside office complex in Doha on Wednesday evening, the Qatari prime minister thought he had a deal. Hamas’s negotiators, led by a burly former lawmaker, had left the prime minister’s office, having given up on an 11th-hour demand that was the last major obstacle to a cease-fire in Gaza after 466 days of war.

Reporters had begun to assemble in an auditorium downstairs, expecting to witness the prime minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, announce that he and other mediators had finally brokered a deal. Two American envoys joined Sheikh Mohammed as he prepared his statement.

Suddenly, there was a new problem, according to two people familiar with the negotiations.

In a room elsewhere on the sixth floor, the Israeli delegation, led by the heads of Israel’s two main intelligence agencies, had their own last-minute demand. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wanted to clarify the names of a handful of Palestinian prisoners whom Israel would release during the truce.

As his aides tried to resolve the final hitch, Sheikh Mohammed sat in his office with Brett McGurk, President Biden’s lead negotiator, and Steve Witkoff, the representative of President-elect Donald J. Trump, hoping that their efforts had not been wasted.

This account of the final days of negotiation is based on conversations with nine people involved in or briefed on the talks, some of whom spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive diplomacy.

The truce that was ultimately announced at the belated news briefing, hours after Israel’s new demand, was little different to versions promoted for most of the past year by mediators from Egypt, Qatar and the Biden administration, whose representatives met frequently with the warring parties in Cairo, Doha and several European capitals throughout 2024.

What pushed the deal over the line this past week was the unlikely partnership between the envoys of America’s current and future presidents, working in tandem with the Qatari prime minister in marathon late-night meetings. While Mr. Biden and Mr. Trump have competed for credit, the reality is that their representatives were both crucial to the final push, each using different approaches to push the Israeli leadership toward a deal while Sheikh Mohammed focused on Hamas.

Starting last Sunday, the Israeli and Palestinian delegations, as well as the two Americans, spent long days at the prime minister’s compound, close to the old market in downtown Doha. The delegations, which do not speak directly to each other, sat in different rooms on different floors, with Qatari and Egyptian officials passing messages between the two sides.

“They aren’t natural partners, but the combination of these three individuals, and the three worlds they represent, was the only thing that was going to get this done,” said Thomas R. Nides, a former U.S. ambassador to Israel. “You needed pressure from all sides — pressure from the Arab world, pressure from Biden, and pressure from Trump.”

It was Mr. McGurk, a veteran diplomat long focused on the Middle East, who has helped oversee U.S. mediation efforts since the opening weeks of the war and who helped craft the deal’s complicated details nearly a year ago. It was Mr. Witkoff, a real estate investor who plays golf with Mr. Trump, who was instrumental in persuading Israel to finally agree to the deal’s contents. And it was Sheikh Mohammed who persuaded Hamas to make key compromises, while providing both sides with the office space in which to wrangle the final details.

The deal they sealed provides for a pause of at least six weeks in the fighting, during which time Hamas has agreed to gradually release 33 of the hostages captured during the group’s raid on Israel at the start of the war on Oct. 7, 2023. In exchange, Israel has committed to gradually releasing roughly 1,000 Palestinian prisoners, some of whom are serving life sentences for murder, and allowing hundreds of thousands of displaced Gazans to return to their homes.

The deal is extremely similar to proposals that the two sides nearly agreed to between May and July 2024. Those talks broke down amid disputes about whether to forge a permanent or temporary truce, whether and how to allow displaced Gazans to return home, how and when Israeli troops might withdraw from Gaza, and the number of hostages Hamas might release in the first weeks of a truce.

As a result, the war dragged on, leading to the killing of tens of thousands more Palestinians, as well as several Israeli hostages.

Critics accused Mr. Netanyahu of sabotaging the talks to avoid a collapse of his governing coalition, which included lawmakers opposed to a deal. Others said that Hamas had intentionally prolonged the negotiations in the hope that Israel might become entrenched in a wider regional conflict with Hamas’s allies in Lebanon, Iran and Yemen. At times, Qatar refused to continue mediating, accusing both sides of halfhearted engagement.

Momentum returned after Mr. Trump’s re-election in November, even before the president-elect warned Hamas that there would be “all hell to pay” if the hostages were not released by his inauguration. He appointed Mr. Witkoff, who had no diplomatic experience but growing business relationships in Qatar, as his emissary in the Middle East. Mr. Witkoff had been playing golf with Mr. Trump in September during what law enforcement officials said was an attempt on the former and future president’s life.

Quietly, members of the Biden administration reached out to Mr. Witkoff to see if they could work together on the cease-fire talks, according to two people familiar with the conversations. Despite vast political chasms between their bosses, Mr. McGurk and Mr. Witkoff began to coordinate, sometimes talking several times a day, according to one of the people.

Still, wide gaps between Hamas and Israel remained. Shortly before Christmas, with just weeks left in the Biden presidency, Mr. McGurk returned despondently from a trip to Doha. He told the Qataris that he would not fly back unless Hamas made a clear signal of its interest in a deal, according to two people familiar with his thinking.

That moment came in the first days of January, according to two people involved in the process. Sheikh Mohammed persuaded Hamas to confirm the names of more than 30 hostages who would be released during the first six weeks of a truce, a long-awaited move that suggested the group was genuinely interested in a deal, the people said. The reason for Hamas’s shift remains unclear, but analysts say that Israel’s increasing dominance over Hamas’s main allies, Hezbollah and Iran, left the group feeling isolated, while its own losses on the battlefield in Gaza left it feeling weakened.

Mr. McGurk was informed of the breakthrough while attending his daughter’s birthday party at an indoor trampoline park on Jan. 4, according to two people familiar with the event. He left the party halfway through, immediately flying to Doha to meet Sheikh Mohammed, his Egyptian counterparts and Israeli negotiators. Mr. Witkoff joined him on Jan. 10, and the pair agreed with Sheikh Mohammed that the Americans would jointly focus on cajoling Israel while the prime minister would press Hamas.

The main remaining differences centered on the depth of a buffer zone that Israel sought to maintain within Gaza’s borders, as well as the number of prisoners to be exchanged for wounded and sick hostages.

It was a visit at short notice by Mr. Witkoff to Jerusalem last Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath, that brought a new breakthrough, according to four officials briefed on the meeting.

Mr. Witkoff sat with Mr. Netanyahu and senior Israeli officials in the prime minister’s Jerusalem office, with Mr. McGurk joining the discussion by telephone.

The two Americans pressed Mr. Netanyahu to soften on the last two big obstacles, according to a person familiar with the discussion. Mr. McGurk warned the Israeli leader that he risked losing his best chance of sealing a deal. Then Mr. Witkoff applied the necessary pressure, stressing to Mr. Netanyahu that Mr. Trump wanted this deal done, the person said.

After the meeting, Mr. Netanyahu seemed to have changed his attitude, four officials said. He immediately ordered his four top negotiators — including David Barnea, the head of Israel’s foreign intelligence agency, and Ronen Bar, Israel’s domestic spy chief — to Doha.

Over the next four days, Sheikh Mohammed hosted a marathon series of meetings, mostly in his personal office, as Hamas officials, Israeli negotiators, Egyptian intelligence officers and the two Americans spoke with him, sometimes until the small hours of the morning.

The Israeli and Hamas teams, based on different floors, never saw each other; they took turns entering the prime minister’s office for updates on their enemy’s latest position.

Progress was sometimes hindered by the nature of Hamas’s command structure, which required its leaders in Qatar to check certain details with their counterparts in Gaza, who are all in hiding and hard to reach.

Mr. McGurk and Mr. Witkoff also often checked in with their respective bosses; at times, Mr. McGurk was speaking with Mr. Biden while Mr. Witkoff, just yards away, was on the phone with Mr. Trump or his team, according to a person familiar with the scene.

“We were negotiating word by word, sentence by sentence and formula by formula,” said Mohammed Al-Khulaifi, a minister of state in the Qatari foreign ministry. “It becomes exhausting mentally and physically.”

The biggest breakthrough came close to midnight on Sunday night, according to three people familiar with the moment.

Sheikh Mohammed told the two Americans that the deal could be closed if Israel could make two more compromises, according to one of the people.

Mr. McGurk and Mr. Witkoff walked together down the corridor to the Israelis’ room, where the negotiators were already speaking by phone with Mr. Netanyahu. Joining the call, the Americans told the Israeli leader that a deal could be reached if he agreed to slightly increase the number of prisoners involved in the swap, as well as slightly decrease the depth of the buffer zone.

After a loud debate in Hebrew between Mr. Netanyahu and his team, they made the compromise.

The Americans returned to update Sheikh Mohammed.

“We will have a deal,” the Qatari leader told the envoys, according to the person familiar with the scene.

After a year of failure, around midnight on Sunday, they thought they had an agreement, subject to wrangling over small final details.

Still, Wednesday brought more hitches. With the news briefing scheduled for the evening, Hamas suddenly tried to reopen a discussion about how much land Israeli troops would continue to control along the border between Egypt and Gaza.

Then, after Egyptian and Qatari leaders had persuaded Hamas to back down, Israel pushed for greater clarity about which Palestinian prisoners would be released.

Thousands of miles away, in the Oval Office, Jake Sullivan, the national security adviser, sat with President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, awaiting news from Mr. McGurk.

Even as Sheikh Mohammed finally announced the deal on Wednesday night, the last prisoners’ identities were still being clarified by the two sides, according to a person familiar with the debate.

But Mr. McGurk and Mr. Witkoff felt confident enough to inform their bosses that a cease-fire would be reached, one person familiar with the scene said.

That final wrangling continued into Thursday, with Mr. McGurk and Mr. Witkoff finally leaving Qatar that night.

The deal was cemented — and so was one of the unlikeliest pairings in diplomatic history.

LIVE: China’s Plan to Build Dam on Brahmaputra Raises Concerns in India | Vantage with Palki Sharma

China plans to construct the world’s largest hydropower dam on the Brahmaputra river in India. The river’s Tibetan name is Yarlung Zangbo. Originating in Tibet, the river flows into India through Arunachal Pradesh, a northeastern state that China refers to as “South Tibet” and claims as part of its territory. From Arunachal Pradesh, the Brahmaputra continues into Bangladesh before emptying into the Bay of Bengal. Thus, the river is shared by three countries — China, India, and Bangladesh. Experts say the dam could generate 300 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually. However, India and Bangladesh have expressed concerns about the project, fearing it could disrupt the ecological balance and alter the river’s flow and course downstream. In 2022, India had announced its own dam project on the Brahmaputra in Arunachal Pradesh. Why is China building the dam? What impact will it have on India-China relations? On Vantage tonight, Palki Sharma answers these pressing questions.

Israel vote on Gaza ceasefire deal delayed

2025-01-16T15:51:00.001-08:00

Strikes continued in Gaza overnight on Wednesday after the ceasefire deal was announced

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has delayed a cabinet vote to approve the Gaza ceasefire deal, due on Thursday, accusing Hamas of seeking last-minute changes to the agreement.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said a “loose end” was being tied up and that he was confident the ceasefire would still begin on Sunday as planned.

Although Israeli negotiators agreed to the deal after months of talks, it cannot be implemented until it is approved by the security cabinet and government.

Hamas said it was committed to the deal, but the BBC understands it was trying to add some of its members to the list of Palestinian prisoners that would be released under the deal.

The delay came after Israeli strikes in Gaza following Wednesday’s announcement of a deal killed more than 80 people, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.

A few hours before the Thursday morning meeting was due, Netanyahu accused Hamas of trying to “extort last minute concessions”.

The cabinet would not convene until Hamas accepted “all elements of the agreement,” a statement from his office read.

Blinken said such a delay was to be expected in such a “challenging” situation.

“It’s not exactly surprising that in a process and negotiation that has been this challenging and this fraught, you may get a loose end,” he told a press conference in Washington.

“We’re tying up that loose end as we speak.”

He said the US was “confident” the deal would come into force on Sunday as planned, and that the ceasefire would then persist.

Israeli media reported that the cabinet was expected to meet on Friday to approve the deal and that the alleged issue had been resolved, although this was not officially confirmed.

A majority of Israeli ministers are expected to back the deal, but late on Thursday Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said his right-wing party would quit Netanyahu’s government if it was approved.

“The deal that is taking shape is a reckless deal,” Ben-Gvir told a news conference, adding it would “erase the achievements of the war”.

However, he said his Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) party would not seek to topple the government should the deal be ratified.

He urged the leader of the other far-right party in government, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich of the Religious Zionist party, to join him in resigning.

Ben Gvir said the deal would “erase the achievements of the war”

Meanwhile, a senior Hamas official told the BBC that the group was committed to the agreement announced by the mediators.

The head of Hamas’s delegation, Khalil al-Hayya, officially informed Qatar and Egypt of its approval of all the terms of the agreement, the official told the BBC.

But BBC Gaza correspondent Rushdi Abualouf understands that Hamas was attempting to add the names of one or two symbolic members to the list of prisoners that would be released under the deal.

The first six-week phase of the deal would see 33 hostages – including women, children and elderly people – exchanged for Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.

Israeli troops would also withdraw to the east, away from densely populated areas of Gaza.

Displaced Palestinians would be able to start returning to their homes and hundreds of aid lorries would be allowed entry to the territory each day.

Negotiations for the second phase – which should see the remaining hostages released, a full Israeli troop withdrawal and a return to “sustainable calm” – would start on the 16th day.

The third and final stage would involve the return of any remaining hostages’ bodies and the reconstruction of Gaza – something which could take years.

The ceasefire is due to begin on Sunday, should it be approved

Israeli air strikes continued after the deal was announced on Wednesday. At least 12 people were killed in Gaza City, where a doctor told the BBC staff “did not rest for one minute” during the “bloody night”.

Strikes were carried out on 50 targets in Gaza since the deal’s announcement, the Israel Defense Forces and the Israeli Security Agency said in a statement.

The prime minister of Qatar – which mediated negotiations – called for “calm” on both sides before the start of the first six-week phase of the ceasefire deal.

Israel launched a campaign to destroy Hamas – which is proscribed as a terrorist organisation by Israel, the US and others – in response to an unprecedented cross-border attack on Israel on 7 October 2023, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage.

More than 46,788 people have been killed in Gaza since then, according to the territory’s Hamas-run health ministry.

Most of Gaza’s 2.3 million population has also been displaced, there is widespread destruction and there are severe shortages of food, fuel, medicine and shelter, while aid agencies struggle to get help to those in need.

Israel says 94 of the hostages are still being held by Hamas, 34 of whom are presumed dead. There are four Israelis who were abducted before the war, two of whom are dead.

Senate Dems spent Pam Bondi’s hearing talking about one guy. (No, not Trump.)

2025-01-15T15:50:00.001-08:00

If you closed your eyes, you might’ve thought Kash Patel was in the witness chair.

Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats spent Wednesday pummeling President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to become FBI director at a confirmation hearing for his prospective boss: attorney general nominee Pam Bondi.

Ranking member Dick Durbin of Illinois raised Patel’s commentary about QAnon conspiracy theories. Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota worried about Patel’s comments about targeting the media. Several Democratic senators expressed concern about his purported “enemies list” of people he believes should be investigated or prosecuted.

It all amounted to signs that Democrats view Patel — a polarizing MAGA loyalist who served in Trump’s first administration— as an easier target than Bondi, who seems to be on a glide path to confirmation.

Democrats have widely conceded they will save their energy fighting other of Trump’s more controversial nominees than they will Bondi, who they appear to consider qualified as a former Florida attorney general. Some Democrats even thanked the nominee for productive conversations about bipartisan issues, such as combating fentanyl addiction and human trafficking.

“If they’re asking about Kash Patel, it must be going pretty well,” quipped Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.).

The fixation on Patel by Democrats became clear early in Bondi’s confirmation hearing and remained consistent throughout her nearly 6 hours in front of the Judiciary Committee.

“My concern, on the basis of statements that President-elect Trump has made, is that he does identify people as political enemies … and there may come a day where there is pressure on you,” said Vermont Sen. Peter Welch. “I’m just going to express my hope that … when it comes to the constitution or pressure from a higher official, you’re going to choose the constitution.”

Bondi gave a full-throated endorsement of Patel, arguing he was the “right person” for the job and well-qualified. She also declined to defend or criticize his past statements, saying she was unfamiliar with them and would let him speak to them at his own confirmation hearing.

“I don’t believe he has an enemies list. He made a quote on TV that I have not heard,” Bondi said, deftly avoiding discussion of a book Patel wrote containing a long list of “Government Gangsters.”

At times, Bondi sought to remind the committee, gingerly, that she would be Patel’s superior. “Mr. Patel would fall under me and the Department of Justice and I will ensure that all laws are followed — and so will he.”

When Durbin raised Patel’s agreement with aspects of QAnon’s agenda, Bondi seemed to express relief that he would soon be in the hot seat instead of her.

“I look forward to hearing his testimony about QAnon in front of this committee,” Bondi said.

Bondi, a friend and ally of Trump for years, served as Trump’s lawyer during his first impeachment trial and assisted Rudy Guiliani in efforts to block Joe Biden’s Pennsylvania win in the 2020 election. Democratic Senators pressed Bondi on whether she believed Biden won that election, a question she repeatedly sidestepped. Bondi also declined to answer whether she would prosecute Jack Smith, the special prosecutor overseeing investigations into Trump, though she repeatedly emphasized she would be guided by facts, not politics.

In her remarks, Bondi vowed the Department of Justice would not pursue political investigations, despite Trump’s repeated calls for some of his staunchest adversaries to face prosecution.

“The partisanship, the weaponization will be gone,” Bondi said. “America must have one tier of justice for all.”

At the same time, Bondi tangled with some of Trump’s harshest critics on the committee. Her combativeness sometimes crossed lines that pending nominees rarely cross, such as when she mentioned California Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff’s censure by the House for his handling of Trump-related investigations.

Schiff, a longtime representative, was elected to the Senate last year and is now serving on the Judiciary Committee.

When Rhode Island Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse went over his allotted time, Bondi joked that she’d like that time taken away from one of her toughest interlocutors. “Can we take a minute off Sen. Schiff?” she asked, puzzling Iowa Republican Chuck Grassley, the Senate Judiciary Chair, who didn’t immediately pick up on the joke.

Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut said Bondi seemed to be trying to avoid saying anything that would provoke Trump, which sometimes complicated her ability to answer simple questions.

“She very artfully dodged questions about whether Pres. Trump lost the 2020 election, which clearly is designed for an audience of one–that’s Donald Trump,” Blumenthal told reporters toward the end of Wednesday’s hearing. “He knows she’s here. She knows he’s watching. And I think that audience is clearly a presence in the room.”

Man City handed huge injury boost ahead of decisive week

2025-01-15T14:46:00.001-08:00

Manchester City centre-back Ruben Dias has been spotted back in training after a spell on the sidelines through injury, with his potential return coming ahead of a crucial run of fixtures.

Dias has been nursing a muscular issue for the past month, last appearing in the club’s late defeat to city rivals Manchester United in mid-December. City enjoyed a mini-revival after Christmas, stringing together three consecutive victories with performances that weren’t all entirely convincing, before falling to a calamitous 2-2 draw with Brentford on Tuesday night.

City led 2-0 at the Gtech Community Stadium with less than ten minutes remaining but still conspired to emerge without all three points. The defending champions have already shipped 29 league goals – as many as Arsenal conceded across the entirety of last season.

At the time of Dias’ absence, Pep Guardiola predicted that he would be without his centre-back for “three or four weeks”. That rough recovery period has elapsed and the imposing defender participated in first-team training on Wednesday with the players who didn’t start the draw with Brentford.

Dias’ arrival cannot come soon enough for City. The Sky Blues travel to newly promoted Ipswich Town on Sunday before venturing to the French capital for a crucial Champions League tie against Paris Saint-Germain. Both modern European giants are flirting with the distinct possibility on failing to qualify for the competition’s knockout stages.

After that continental clash, City return to domestic duties with a visit from high-flying Chelsea on Saturday, 25 January.

Guardiola has always maintained that the simple solution to City’s fragility would always be a return to fitness for his fleet of injured players. Dias has been sharing the treatment room with fellow first-choice centre-back John Stones and the reigning Ballon d’Or holder Rodri.

Aside from relying solely upon the club’s medical department, City have turned to the transfer market in a bid to strengthen their backline.

Abdukodir Khusanov is poised to arrive from Lens and a deal has also been agreed for Palmeiras defender Vitor Reis. The young centre-backs have a combined age of 39 and will likely command a sum in the region of £70m between them.

Palestinians in Gaza rush to receive airdropped US aid

2025-01-15T13:50:00.001-08:00

The United States, Israel’s top ally, carried out its first operation to assist Palestinians with much-needed aid, dropping humanitarian packages on southern Gaza via parachutes on March 2.

This action comes amid a report from Gaza’s media office that 2.4 million people in the besieged enclave are suffering “from severe food shortages and famine” as Israel continues to severely restrict aid entering the Palestinian territory by land.

Newlands, Cape Town, pitch history and Test records

2025-01-14T16:46:00.001-08:00

After confirming their berth in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025 Final, South Africa are ready to host Pakistan once again. The Shan Masood-led side put up a spirited fight against the Proteas in the first Test, who went over the ropes courtesy of a match-winning partnership between Kagiso Rabada and Marco Jansen.

The second Test awaits in Cape Town, a city that has hosted the most Tests (60) in South Africa. Pakistan would be wary of the fact that they have never beaten South Africa here in four attempts. In fact, this is the same ground where the famous South Africa vs India low-scoring affair occurred in January 2024.

Ahead of the second South Africa vs Pakistan Test, here are some important numbers you need to know from previous Tests played at the venue.

Newlands, Cape Town, Test record and stats

The Proteas have a 27-22 record at the venue. As many as 11 Tests have been drawn here, with the first match dating way back to 1889.

Here’s a list of some important numbers you should know from the previous Test matches hosted by this ground:

Matches played: 60

Matches won by teams batting first: 23

Matches won by teams batting second: 26

Matches tied: 0

Matches drawn: 11

Highest team total: 651 – South Africa vs Australia, 2009

Lowest team total: 35/10 – South Africa vs England, 1889

Highest successful run-chase: 334/6 by Australia vs South Africa, 2002

Highest individual score: 262- Stephen Fleming (NZ) vs South Africa, 2006

Best bowling figures (innings): 8/11 – John Briggs (ENG) vs South Africa, 1889

Best bowling figures (match): 15/28 – John Briggs (ENG) vs South Africa, 1889

Average first innings score: 322

Newlands, Cape Town Pitch Report

Heaven for pacers! That’s what we got in the last match when India bundled South Africa for just 55 in the first innings. The wicket here was quite bad to be honest, with batters having no chance to build an innings.

The pitch curator could prepare something to make amends, but pacers should still pose a huge “test” for the top-order batters. The exact pitch report will be broadcast live just before the live action for the second and last Test of the series.

Newlands, Cape Town, Last Test

South Africa v India – 2nd Test – Source: Getty

The last time Newlands hosted a Test match, the ICC rated the pitch ‘unsatisfactory.’ The encounter finished within two days of cricket, with a total of 464 runs getting scored across four innings, i.e., 116 runs per innings.

Mohanmmed Siraj’s 6/15 rattled SA, who recorded 55/10. In reply, India were in the driving seat before they lost six wickets for zero runs! From 153/4, they crumbled to 153/10.

In reply, Aiden Markram scored a scintillating ton to have something on the board for South Africa. India easily chased down the total of 79 runs, with Rohit Sharma remaining unbeaten.

Wednesday Briefing: A Major U.S. Senate Hearing

2025-01-14T13:50:00.001-08:00

Trump’s defense pick faced a divided Senate hearing

Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for defense secretary, faced hours of questioning yesterday during his Senate confirmation hearing. A vote to decide whether he will lead the Pentagon — a department with three million employees and an $849 billion budget — could come as soon as Monday. Read more.

Republicans largely defended Hegseth. Democrats questioned him about sexual misconduct allegations — Hegseth was accused of rape in 2017 — and his drinking habits. They also called him unfit to lead the Pentagon, and grilled Hegseth, a former Fox News host, on his long history of disparaging comments about women in the military.

A key Republican, Senator Joni Ernst of Iowa, a veteran and a sexual assault survivor, appeared satisfied with his responses to her questions about the role of women in the military and sexual assault prevention. Ernst, who is seen as critical to Hegseth’s confirmation chances, spent much of her time focusing on their agreement that the Pentagon should be audited.

Quotable: Hegseth described himself as a changed man and a redemption story, and he dismissed the allegations against him as a “smear campaign.”

“Have you overcome personal issues or are you the target of a smear campaign?” Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona, a Democrat, asked. “You can’t be both.”

What’s next: It was unclear whether Hegseth left the hearing with the votes he needs to be confirmed. If all Senate Democrats oppose him, Hegseth will have to secure the backing of at least 50 of the 53 Republicans in the chamber.

Related: A report was released yesterday that detailed the special counsel’s investigation into Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election. Here are four takeaways.

Strong winds threatened to spread new fires in L.A.

Officials urged residents of Los Angeles County to brace themselves for potential power outages and to be ready to flee, as expected gusts and dry vegetation could create conditions for new blazes across Southern California. At least 24 people have been killed, about two dozen others are missing and thousands have been displaced. Follow our live coverage.

Firefighters already battled and contained a new brush fire yesterday, but officials were worried it could break free again in windy conditions. The largest blaze, the Palisades fire, was still far from contained. The Eaton fire, which has killed multiple people, was also not contained. Track the fires here.

A cultural loss: The scope of valuables destroyed by the blazes is only beginning to take shape. One resident lost about 30 works by Andy Warhol — and dozens more by other artists — when his Pacific Palisades home was destroyed. “It’s dust at this point,” he said.

Seeking a safe haven: Tens of thousands of evacuees were scrambling to find temporary shelter, exacerbating the housing shortage in one of America’s least affordable cities.

Israel and Hamas appear close to a cease-fire deal

Israel and Hamas are “on the brink” of agreeing to a cease-fire in Gaza and to the release of the hostages held there, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said yesterday.

Neither Israeli nor Hamas officials have publicly confirmed their position on the proposal. On Monday, a Hamas official said a deal was possible in the coming days as long as Israel didn’t change its positions, and an Israeli official said yesterday that Israel was ready to close the deal and were waiting on Hamas. Mediators, which include Qatar, Egypt and the U.S., warned that negotiations could break down at any moment, as they have so many times in the past.

The toll in Gaza: Deaths from bombs and other traumatic injuries during the first nine months of the war may have been underestimated by more than 40 percent, according to an analysis published in The Lancet.

The Maha Kumbh Mela festival in India begins this week, and it is expected to draw up to 400 million Hindu pilgrims to the banks of the Ganges and Yamuna Rivers in what would be the world’s largest human gathering. The ceremony, which happens every 12 years and centers on a series of holy baths, has also become an important political event.

This is the first festival since Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s party took power. It is a chance for him to promote his right-wing party.

Lives lived: Oliviero Toscani broke advertising boundaries with his Benetton campaigns that delved into AIDS, and racial and sexual diversity activism. He is dead at 82.

CONVERSATION STARTERS

Mapping ‘The Lord of the Rings’

Karen Wynn Fonstad, a cartographer, connected so deeply with the world depicted in “The Fellowship of the Ring” that she called J.R.R. Tolkien’s publisher in 1977 to pitch a dream assignment. Much to her surprise, an editor agreed.

The result was “The Atlas of Middle-earth,” a tome with 172 maps that renders Tolkien’s world in astonishing detail, including the bedrock morphology of the Shire, settlement patterns in Gondor and plate tectonics in Mordor. Poring over her work, you “feel like you can get dirt under your nails exploring a place,” one contemporary mapmaker said.

The Cameroon lawyer risking everything to defend LGBT rights

2025-01-13T18:50:00.001-08:00

BBC

Despite being vilified, threatened and humiliated in public, veteran Cameroonian lawyer Alice Nkom is determined to uphold the rights of homosexual people in her country.

A human rights NGO that she runs, Redhac, was recently suspended by the government and she is due to appear before investigators to answer accusations of money laundering and funding terror groups – which she denies.

The 80-year-old says the authorities are obstructing her work and believes she is being targeted because of her legal advocacy with the LGBT community.

“I will always defend homosexuals because they risk their freedom every day, and they are thrown into prison like dogs,” she tells the BBC in a firm tone, speaking in her office in the city of Douala.

“My job is to defend people. I don’t see why I would say I’m defending everyone except homosexuals.”

Dressed in a black gown, Ms Nkom delivers her stark message in a measured voice that reflects years of thoughtful legal argument.

According to the country’s penal code, both men and women found guilty of homosexual sex can be sentenced to up to five years in prison and made to pay a fine. Members of the LGBT community also face being ostracized by their families and wider society.

As a result, Ms Nkom has been viewed as a surrogate parent to some in her country who have been open about their sexuality with their family.

The legal expert has children of her own, but hundreds, maybe thousands, of others look up to her as their protector following her work over more than two decades to defend those accused of homosexuality.

“She’s like our father and our mother. She’s the mother we find when our families have abandoned us,” says one LGBT activist, Sébastien, not his real name.

Committed to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which is included in Cameroon’s constitution, Ms Nkom argues that freedom from discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation should be seen as a fundamental right that supersedes the penal code.

“You shouldn’t jail fundamental rights, you shouldn’t repress them – you should protect them,” she says.

This is a struggle that has landed Ms Nkom in difficulties.

A memorial wall at the entrance to Alice Nkom’s NGO Adefho tells the stories of seven activists who have died in the past two decades

She says she has been physically threatened several times in the street, and reveals that when she first started out in this area of law, she hired bodyguards to help protect her.

But her journey to become one of Cameroon’s most outspoken legal figures began well before that.

In 1969, aged 24, she became the country’s first black female lawyer, after studying in both France – the former colonial power – and Cameroon.

She says she was encouraged to pursue her studies by her then boyfriend, who later became her husband.

Her earlier legal work involved representing the less well-off and disadvantaged but it was a chance encounter in 2003 that led her to become involved in the fight to decriminalise homosexuality.

She was at the public prosecutor’s office in Douala when she observed a group of young people handcuffed in pairs, who did not have the courage to look up.

“When I checked the court docket, I realised that they were being prosecuted for homosexuality,” she says.

‘Attempted homosexuality’

This offended her sense of human rights and she was very clear that sexual minorities should be included among those whose rights were protected by the constitution.

“I decided to fight to ensure that this fundamental right of freedom was respected,” Ms Nkom adds.

She went on to found the Association for the Defence of Homosexuality (Adefho) in 2003.

Since then she has been involved in dozens of cases. One of the most high-profile in recent years was her defence of transgender celebrity Shakiro and a friend, Patricia, in 2021.

The two were arrested while eating in a restaurant and then charged with “attempted homosexuality”.

They were sentenced to five years for contravening the penal code and outraging public decency.

“It’s a hammer blow. It’s the maximum term outlined in the law. The message is clear: homosexuals don’t have a place in Cameroon,” Ms Nkom was quoted as saying at the time.

Shakiro, along with Patricia, was later released pending an appeal and has since fled the country.

Since then the situation for LGBT people has not improved. LGBT activist Sébastien, who runs a charity to support families with homosexual children, feels things have got worse recently.

Last year, a song based on the popular mbolé rhythm with a title and lyrics that encouraged people to target and kill homosexuals, was released. It is still being widely shared, and is regularly played in the trendiest places in the country’s major cities.

“People attack us because of this song, which glorifies crime,” says Sébastien.

LGBT people have to hide their sexual identities but “some people set traps to get close to us and attack us or report us to the police”, he says.

Brenda Biya/Instagram

Last year, the daughter of Cameroon’s president, Brenda Biya (L), shared this image of her embracing Brazilian model Layyons Valença

Ms Nkom says that when Brenda Biya, the daughter of President Paul Biya, came out in public to say that she was a lesbian last year, she thought it might help to change the law.

Ms Biya – who spends most of her time outside Cameroon – has been quoted as saying she hoped that her openness could alter things at home.

Ms Nkom senses an opportunity. “I’m using the Brenda case as a precedent. Now I have a case on which I can challenge the president,” she says.

The lawyer also asked Ms Biya to do more for the cause of the LGBT community in Cameroon.

“Brenda hasn’t replied to me yet, since I made the statement in the media, but I know that she will.”

For now, though, she will continue her legal work.

She views the latest attempt to restrict her efforts as just another obstacle – certainly not enough to make her stop the battle she has been waging since 2003.

Assad's soldiers give up their weapons in Syrian 'reconciliation centres' | BBC News

Over the past week, suspected reprisal killings of people from the Alawite community which Syria’s deposed president Bashar Al-Assad belongs to have triggered protests.

Rebels Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham who have formed the de facto government of the country have denied carrying out reprisal attacks, and have promised a general amnesty for members of the former regime.

Tens of thousands of the former regime’s forces have been crowding at HTS centres to surrender. The BBC’s Yogita Limaye has been speaking to them to understand why the regime fell so rapidly, and whether they believe in the promise of amnesty.

Chelsea defender ‘agrees’ Borussia Dortmund move

2025-01-12T13:46:00.001-08:00

Chelsea’s versatile defender Renato Veiga has verbally agreed to join Bundesliga outfit Borussia Dortmund on loan this month, according to a report in Germany.

The Portugal international has impressed during his debut campaign at Stamford Bridge since joining from FC Basel in the summer, lining up in a variety of roles – often within the same match. However, Veiga has struggled to break into Chelsea’s Premier League XI, making just one top-flight start all season.

Serie A title challengers Napoli sensed an opportunity to snap up the under-used 21-year-old in January, but Antonio Conte’s outfit are no longer favourites to land Veiga.

Borussia Dortmund have managed to strike a “total verbal agreement” with Veiga, according to Sky Sport Germany. The Bundesliga outfit, who have also registered their interest in Chelsea’s Carney Chukwuemeka, are thought to be keen on agreeing a loan deal which includes an option to buy.

Veiga is supposedly “keen” on the move to Germany, but Chelsea have not come to an agreement and manager Enzo Maresca has openly expressed his desire to keep the versatile defender. “Renato is our player,” the Italian coach insisted ahead of Saturday’s thumping 5-0 FA Cup victory over Morecambe, which Veiga started. “He’s a player that we’re happy to have here with us.

“The last game he played was Tottenham away and in a delicate moment of the game we put him there. This showed how we trust Renato.

“But as I said, it’s not just what I think, or what the club thinks, or what the player thinks. It’s something that altogether we need to make the right decision for the club and the players and the manager.”

Fellow defender Axel Disasi could also be on his way out of west London. Sky Sports Italy revealed that the French centre-back is on Juventus’ shortlist of defensive reinforcements this month.

The Serie A giants are also battling Arsenal for Barcelona’s Ronald Araujo and retain an interest in Benfica centre-back Antonio Silva.

Sudan’s Military Recaptures Key City From Paramilitary Accused of Genocide

2025-01-11T17:50:00.001-08:00

The Sudanese military recaptured a key city in Sudan’s breadbasket region on Saturday, chasing out a paramilitary group that the United States accused last week of genocide.

Sudan’s information minister said the army had “liberated” the city, Wad Madani, while the military said that its troops were working to “clear the remnants of the rebels” from the area.

If the army can hold on to the city, it would be its most significant victory since the war started nearly two years ago. Experts said it would most likely shift the focus of the war northward to Khartoum, the capital.

Videos circulating online showed the army entering Wad Madani, which lies about 100 miles south of the capital. Local media reported that fighters with the paramilitary group, known as the Rapid Support Forces, or R.S.F., were fleeing the city.

The group’s leader, Gen. Mohamed Hamdan, admitted defeat but vowed to soon recapture the city. “Today we lost a round; we did not lose the battle,” he said in an audio address to his fighters and the Sudanese people.

The victory brought joyous scenes in army-held parts of the country among Sudanese who hoped it might signal a turning point in a ruinous civil war that has led to massacres, ethnic cleansing and a spreading famine in one of Africa’s largest countries.

People massed on the battle-scarred streets of Khartoum, while church bells pealed in Port Sudan, the wartime de facto capital where many Sudanese have fled the fighting. Celebrations also erupted among exiled Sudanese in Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

The R.S.F. defeat came just over a year after the group seized Wad Madani in a victory that forced tens of thousands of people to flee and sent shock waves across Sudan. The group’s fighters went on to capture swaths of the country, far from their stronghold in Darfur in western Sudan.

But much of the most brutal fighting was in Darfur, where R.S.F. fighters massacred members of rival ethnic groups, according to human rights groups and the United Nations. Last week the United States formally determined that those killings constituted genocide, and it imposed sanctions on the R.S.F.’s leader, General Hamdan, who is widely known as Hemeti.

The United States also imposed sanctions on seven companies in the United Arab Emirates that it accused of trading gold and buying weapons on behalf of the R.S.F.

In recent months, the tide of the fight appeared to turn as the R.S.F. ceded territory in Khartoum and in parts of the east of the country. The military launched a counteroffensive in the area around Wad Madani, culminating in the recapture of the city on Saturday.

Still, it was too early to say if the victory would fundamentally change the course of the conflict. Since the first shots were fired in April 2023, the momentum of the fighting has swung back and forth, sometimes wildly.

The army and the R.S.F. were once allies, and their leaders joined to mount a military coup in 2021. But in the war between them, they have enjoyed the backing of different foreign powers.

The R.S.F. is supported by the United Arab Emirates, a wealthy Gulf sponsor that has supplied it with weapons and powerful drones, mostly smuggled into Sudan from neighboring countries.

The Sudanese military has obtained or bought weapons from Iran, Russia and Turkey. Both sides mine the country’s vast reserves of gold to finance the fight.

For ordinary Sudanese, the war has brought only misery, death and destruction, killing tens of thousands of people, scattering 11 million from their homes and setting off one of the world’s worst famines in decades.

The global authority on hunger, known as the I.P.C., reported last month that famine had spread to five areas in Sudan and was expected to reach another five in the coming months. In all, 25 million Sudanese suffer from acute or chronic hunger.

Both sides have committed atrocities and war crimes, according to the United Nations and American officials, although only the R.S.F. has been accused of ethnic cleansing.
