New Delhi: Sri Lanka batsman Banuka Rajapaksa Clarifying his recent comments on the bats used by Indian cricketers, which had sparked a major controversy during the 2026 T20 World Cup. His earlier remarks were interpreted by many as accusations of “bat tampering” or an unfair equipment advantage against the Indian team, but Rajapaksa said his words were misunderstood and taken out of context.
How PCB, ICC, BCB reach resolution for India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup match
In a social media post, Rajapaksa explained that his intention was to praise India’s cricket set-up and equipment standards and not accuse anyone of wrongdoing. “Hi everyone, just a quick clarification on comments made in a recent interview that have been interpreted differently and parts of which have been lost in translation,” he wrote. “My point is to praise: indian cricket From systems and infrastructure to equipment standards, everything is very advanced. Their bat manufacturers are truly the best in the world. In hindsight, I could have provided clearer context. Nothing but respect,” he added.The controversy started when Rajapaksa said: “The bats of Indian players are far superior to our best bats. It feels like it is coated with rubber. I can’t imagine how this is possible. These bats cannot even be bought by other people – all the players know this.” The comments sparked debate and speculation online about whether Indian players use special or modified bats.However, neither India nor Sri Lanka has lodged a formal complaint with the ICC nor issued any official statement on the matter. This episode was mostly social media and fan discussion.Ball-tampering has long been a touchy subject in cricket, but bats have also been discussed in the past, particularly regarding size and power. The ICC has regulations on bat dimensions, such as the maximum thickness of the edges, but not on the quality of willow wood used to make the bat. As British willows become increasingly rare and expensive, some worry that wealthy teams and players may gain an equipment advantage.
Streamer Mizkif highlighted his past relationship in response to JasonTheWeen and Sakura’s breakup. Mizkif said during the Kick Live that seeing them break up reminded him of his breakup with streamer Maya Higa. His comments are unique because of his personal experience relating to the current widely discussed streaming breakup. Fans immediately drew comparisons, as all parties involved have online audiences and public personal lives.However, this happened one day after JasonTheWeen and Sakura revealed their breakup on February 9, 2026. However, the two posted jointly, revealing that they had broken up but still maintained respect for each other. The split obviously doesn’t come as a surprise as there have been rumors online, including that Jason might be cheating on his partner, which he vehemently denied while on air. This breakup is not the first time, as the two parted ways in August 2025 and then reunited.
Mizkif compares his breakup to JasonTheWeen-Sakura’s breakup
When Mizkif discusses the situation, he directly compares it to his and Higa Maya’s past. “It’s very similar to what I had with Maya. I was popular, she came into my circle, and all her friends became my friends,” he said. He explains that in a streaming relationship, one partner tends to be more mature, which can impact how friendships and careers develop within the relationship.Mizkif also shared his thoughts on how the breakup affected JasonTheWeen and Sakura differently. “It would actually advance Jason’s career. People would be more invested in his life and what’s next.” He said this showed that public attention often increases after significant personal events. However, he added that Sakura’s path forward may be more difficult. “The one who’s really going to struggle is Sakura. What do you do when all your friends are his friends?” he asked.His comments touched on a common phenomenon in the world of streaming, where the lines between relationships, work, friendships and online communities sometimes blend into each other. Going through a breakup can make a person start over or feel isolated in their social and professional life.Ultimately, however, Mizkiff’s reflections provide a broader overview of the impact of public breakups, beyond just the emotional toll they take on individuals. A shared fan base ensures that even if a relationship ends, it can have a lingering impact on both parties, and it’s with this knowledge that JasonTheWeen and Sakura are now moving on, as Mizkif’s reflections on this all-too-familiar situation in livestreaming culture illustrate.
New Delhi: Any hope of a return to normalcy in LS was apparently dashed when the opposition stepped up its offensive and submitted a notice to oust the Speaker. In a surprising end to a week-long deadlock, fissures within the opposition were laid bare, with pragmatic voices wanting to be heard on key issues in the House overpowering those who favored uncompromising rigidity and confrontation.The LS is functioning normally despite the government not agreeing to the conditions set by the Congress: allowing LoP Rahul Gandhi to speak, correcting the Speaker’s “baseless” claim that he had to ask the Prime Minister not to speak during the debate on the motion of thanks to the President for his speech as Congress MPs planned to do something unprecedented, and investigating why BJP MP Nishikant Dubey did not switch off the microphone when he attacked Nehru-Gandhi’s family.There is a general feeling within the government that it would have achieved a better outcome in the battle of wits without any concessions to key Congress demands to allow Rahul to speak first and to revoke the suspension of eight MPs to defuse the crisis that has bogged down the proceedings.Helping the government resolve the impasse is the enthusiasm of some of the BJP’s main regional rivals to give the party a role and allow discussions on regional issues. Bengal and Tamil Nadu, where the TMC and DMK rule, are about to hold general elections, while the political atmosphere is heating up in Uttar Pradesh, where the Samajwadi Party is the main opposition party, just a year away.While the TMC made its differences clear by not signing the notice, MPs from different non-Congress opposition parties said many of them did not want the first half of the session to be consumed by deadlock.PPP allies across party lines stood firmly with the government, supporting the speaker and criticizing the opposition’s targeting of the constitutional office.Birla’s decision to stay away from the meeting until the notice was dealt with out of moral integrity suggested that the matter might be discussed later in the meeting.
Jill Zarin has reportedly been fired from “The Real Housewives of New York” spin-off “The Golden Life.” Comments on “Bad Bunny” made during super bowl halftime show. The 62-year-old made a racist comment on social media, which later went viral.

Notably, Lady Gaga was one of the surprise guests Bad Bunny took to the stage during the Super Bowl halftime show.
At the end of her rant about Bad Bunny and how the NFL “sold out” by hiring a Spanish artist who performs in a non-English language, Zarin turned to Lady Gaga. She claimed the “Poker Face” singer had plastic surgery that made her look unrecognizable during her Super Bowl performance.
Although news of Zarin’s firing has begun circulating on social media, the singer’s fans have slammed Zarin’s comments.
Another added, “Jill Zarin is a real-life D-type who ‘cryed for months’ when she was fired from Real Housewives and made fun of Lady Gaga, thinking she had plastic surgery…” before launching a personal attack on Zarin.
Someone else said: “Jill…honey…you can’t recognize Lady Gaga and you expect us to recognize your face? Well,” sharing a clip of her rant.
Many lamented that her comments about Lady Gaga were “unnecessary.” It is worth noting that there is no indication that Lady Gaga has had plastic surgery, and it has been reported that Lady Gaga has not undergone any form of plastic surgery.
While Zarin raved about Bad Bunny’s performance, the NFL noted that more than 163 million people from around the world watched the Super Bowl halftime show.
A British woman was shot dead by her father at their home in Texas following a dispute with Donald Trump and US politics, a UK investigation has heard.A British court has opened an inquest into the death of 23-year-old Lucy Harrison, who was traveling to the United States with her boyfriend to visit her father when the shooting occurred.Lucy Harrison traveled to Texas from Warrington, Cheshire, with her partner Sam Littler, to live with her father Kris Harrison and his family at their home in Prosper, near Dallas. The shooting took place on January 10, 2025, just hours before the couple returned to the UK.Giving evidence, the boyfriend told the court Lucy and her father often clashed, particularly over his possession of firearms. On the morning of the incident, as the couple prepared to head to the airport, a “big” argument broke out between father and daughter over Donald Trump, who was about to be inaugurated for the second time as President of the United States.“Chris and Lucy ended up getting into a heated argument, causing Lucy to run upstairs and become upset,” Littler said. He told the court that during the argument Lucy asked her father how he would feel if she was sexually assaulted. According to the evidence, Harrison replied that he had two other daughters and that it “wouldn’t upset him that much”.Littler said that about half an hour later, Harrison took his daughter’s hand and led her into a first-floor bedroom. About 15 seconds later, he heard a loud bang and then Harrison yelled for his wife, Heather. Lucy was lying on the floor near the bathroom door when Littler entered the room.Lucy died from a gunshot wound to the chest. She was a fashion buyer for Boohoo and her mother, Jane Coates, described her as a “real force in life” who cared deeply about social issues and enjoyed debate.The court heard Harrison had previously received treatment for alcohol addiction. He did not attend the trial and his legal representatives said the proceedings were more like a criminal investigation than a fact-finding hearing.Prosper police are investigating the death as a possible manslaughter. However, a Collin County grand jury declined to indict Chris Harrison, and the United States did not file any criminal charges.

President Donald Trump’s administration is planning to withhold some public health and transportation funding from some Democratic-led states.

Full details have yet to be released, including whether there are any steps states can take to avoid losing funding. The federal government has expressed concerns about fraud and mismanagement of taxpayer funds but has offered no evidence beyond the rhetoric of Trump and others in his administration.
It’s an approach that has become familiar to governments, this time focusing on common targets: California, Colorado, Illinois and Minnesota.
So far, courts have temporarily blocked other similar efforts by this administration to limit funding.
Latest efforts target some public health and transportation funds
As the New York Post first reported last week, an official at the U.S. Office of Management and Budget confirmed to The Associated Press that the office is notifying the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to cancel funding totaling more than $1.5 billion. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the cuts publicly.
The official did provide a partial list of programs facing cuts; some appeared to be targeted because they were inconsistent with the administration’s policies against protecting transgender people and diversity, equity and inclusion programs.
Targeted transportation funding includes funding for electric vehicle chargers in all four states, research funding to translate the Illinois commercial driver’s license test into Spanish, and funding for california to adapt to climate change.
Health research funding includes projects designed to study the health impacts of specific populations. One of the study groups is located at chicago Disproportionately affected by sexually transmitted infections: “Adolescents, minorities, and men who have sex with men;” and a grant to the University of California focused on “reducing social isolation among older LGBTQ adults.”
Also on the list is a $7.2 million grant to the Chicago-based American Medical Association, which the association noted supports gender-affirming care for minors, a practice opposed by a Trump executive order.
States say they have not yet received notifications
The governors’ offices in all four states said Tuesday they had not received any information from the administration. Trump administration About the plan.
“Time and time again, the Trump administration has sought to politicize and punish certain states that President Trump does not like,” Jillian Kaehler, a spokesperson for Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, said in a statement. “This is wrong and often illegal, so Illinois will always fight for the resources and services our taxpayers deserve.”
The administration has previously targeted Democratic states with funding
These states — all with Democratic governors — are also targets for other federal spending cuts.
A judge ruled last week that the Trump administration cannot currently halt child care subsidies and other social service programs for low-income people in those states, as well as New York. States say federal programs collectively provide them more than $10 billion annually.
The government is also facing legal challenges over its attempts to withhold administrative funds from 22 Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP food assistance) programs that failed to provide information about recipients, including their immigration status. These states include nearly all Democratic governors. The judge was asked to decide whether cutting off funding would violate an existing court order that temporarily bans the government from collecting data.
Trump also threatened to withhold federal funds from sanctuary cities and their states, then ordered government agencies to compile data from 14 mostly Democratic-controlled states and the District of Columbia. All four states included in recent efforts are also on that list.
Other federal funds from Minnesota and Minneapolis were also targeted.
