Mohamed Salah was greeted by cheering Trabzonspor fans in Istanbul on Wednesday as he closed in on a move to the Turkish club. The Liverpool icon wore the team's blue and burgundy striped shirt after flying in on a private jet to complete the deal. Earlier he was filmed aboard the jet pulling on his new jersey. "Trabzon are you ready? I can hear you. See you very soon," Salah said in a video message posted on the club's official X channel. Turkish TV showed still images of Salah wearing a shirt with No. 61 on it as he arrived in Istanbul, where hundreds of chanting fans waited to greet him.

Salah is a free agent after leaving Liverpool at the end of last season. There was speculation the 34-year-old Egypt international would end his career in Saudi Arabia, but it emerged this week that Trabzonspor was leading the race to sign him. "We've st

The electric vehicle (EV) sector is expected to create 30-40 million jobs by 2030, with hiring projected to grow 15-20 per cent annually, driven by rising demand for specialised talent in engineering, energy systems and battery technologies, a report said on Wednesday.

The EV sector is projected to generate 30-40 million jobs, with 10-15 per cent direct and 85-90 per cent indirect jobs by 2030, the report stated.

News outlets can use audio-video clips of proceedings for reporting: SC  
The Supreme Court has clarified that its recent interim order restricting the sharing and uploading of audio and video clips of court hearings does not prevent news organisations from reporting on judicial proceedings. The clarification came after the top court noted that "some confusion persists" over its July 24 interim order, which barred posting and uploading of audio-video recordings of judicial proceedings on social media and other digital platforms without prior permission of the court administration. A bench headed by Chief Justice Surya Kant said the restriction is confined to the use of audio and video recordings of judicial proceedings in news reports and should not be interpreted as a blanket ban on reportage by media organisations. "It appears, however, that some confusion persists in respect of paragraph 11 of the earlier order, which this court deems necessary to clarify.

SC gives states 6 weeks to file replies on consumers' 'right to know' plea  
The Supreme Court on Wednesday granted six weeks time to several states and Union Territories to file their responses on a plea which sought to declare that consumers have a "right to know" about the quality, purity and certification of products, besides the details of distributors and sellers. A bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta was hearing a petition which said "right to know" was crucial for consumers to make informed choices and to protect themselves from unfair or restrictive trade practices and unscrupulous exploitation. In July last year, the apex court had agreed to hear the plea and sought responses from the Centre, various states and UTs and others. During the hearing on Wednesday, petitioner Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay told the bench that so far, he has received responses from only few states, including Haryana, Punjab, Bihar, Assam and the Union Territory of Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

A bench comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana tagged the plea, filed by a retired Air Force officer, with a similar petition. Advocate Rizwan Ahmed, appearing for petitioner Maneesh Kumar Solanki, said, "Fifteen days have passed... What about the accountability of the organisers?

Maharashtra govt bans analogue paneer for a year over food safety concerns  
The Maharashtra government has imposed a one-year ban on the manufacture and sale of "analogue" or non-dairy paneer in view of public health concerns and widespread violations of food safety norms, officials said on Wednesday. Offenders could face life imprisonment and a fine of up to Rs 10 lakh, as per a recent government order. Maharashtra is the second state after Chhattisgarh to impose such a ban. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said it found that several hotels, restaurants, caterers and other food establishments were using analogue paneer in place of conventional paneer without disclosing the substitution on menus, invoices or display boards. Analogue paneer is a non-dairy substitute made using vegetable oils, starches, emulsifiers and other additives instead of milk fat. It is cheaper to produce than conventional paneer and generally contains lower protein levels. A gazette notification issued by Maharashtra Food Safety Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe has prohibited the

HI misses Tirkey's deadline, secretary pushes for emergency EB meeting  
The controversy within Hockey India over the change in the Indian teams' jersey colour intensified on Tuesday after Executive Director Commander RK Srivastava failed to meet president Dilip Tirkey's deadline to submit documents explaining the decision, while secretary general Bhola Nath Singh sought an emergency meeting of the Executive Board. In an strong worded email sent to Srivastava for the second consecutive day, Tirkey directed him to furnish all supporting documents by 5 pm, asserting that his earlier directive had not been withdrawn despite a clarification submitted by the Executive Director to the Executive Board. "With reference to the explaination submitted by the Cdr (Srivastava) to the Executive Board in this matter, it is clarified that the directive to respond with documentary evidence remains in effect and has not been withdrawn," Tirkey said in the email.

Pakistan boxer Qudratullah slips out of team hotel after CWG campaign  
The Pakistan Boxing Federation has again come under the scrutiny after boxer Qudratullah slipped away from the team hotel at the end of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. It is not the first time that the PBF has come under the spotlight for the wrong reasons as in the past in nearly every big international event there have been instances of boxers slipping away in foreign countries. A reliable source close to the Pakistan Olympic Association said on Tuesday that Qudratullah after competing in his weight division in the CWG vanished from the team hotel. "The interesting thing is Qudratullah disappeared despite his passport being with the team manager," the source added. Even during the 2022 Commonwealth Games two national boxers, Suleman Baloch and Nazeerullah Khan disappeared in Birmingham although their passports reportedly were with the contingent head. In the World Olympic Qualifiers in Italy in 2024, Asian gold medallist boxer, Zohaib Rasheed stole his roommates foreign curre

Pakistan Cricket Board contests disclosure order in Islamabad High Court  
The Pakistan Cricket Board has moved the Islamabad High Court, challenging Pakistan Information Commission orders directing it to disclose confidential financial records, players' contracts and employee salary details. The PIC has issued the directives under the Right of Access to Information Act, 2017 on July 9, seeking the PCB's annual budgets for the financial years 2023-26, expenditure break-ups, players' and employees' contracts, and salary details. The commission has also sought details of the players and officials who travelled to this year's T20 World Cup, besides expenditure incurred and steps taken to upgrade Iqbal Stadium in Faisalabad. A PCB source said this was a "Catch-22 situation" since if they complied with the PIC directives, it could trigger similar demands from other institutions and committees for access to its financial dealings, including those related to the Pakistan Super League. Challenging the PIC directives, the PCB has argued that it operates in a highl

Tata Steel has assured that Jamshedpur FC will honour all existing player contracts and help footballers find new clubs after withdrawing from the Indian Super League (ISL).

"We have given both options to the players. If someone wants to join another club, we will facilitate that. If someone is not picked up, then whatever contractual commitments we have made will be honoured," Sundara Raman told PTI on Tuesday.

"Even before I boarded the flight to Glasgow, I had only one thing in my mind -- I had to win the gold medal. I kept telling myself that I would return to India with the gold," Asmita told PTI on the sidelines of the felicitation ceremony for the judo medallists at Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya's residence here on Tuesday. Recalling her memorable campaign, Asmita admitted there was a brief moment in the final when she feared the gold might slip away, but timely encouragement from her coach Yashpal Solanki helped her regain control.

The Williams sisters are back on track to playing doubles tennis ahead of the U.S. Open. Serena and Venus Williams are set to take part in the Cincinnati Open, which begins next week. Organizers announced Monday they had received a wild-card entry into the doubles field. They last played a doubles match together at the 2022 U.S. Open. It is their first time teaming up in the hard-court tune-up tournament in Mason, Ohio. The Williams sisters received a wild-card entry to play doubles at Wimbledon, but an injury to Serena prevented that from happening.

She and her younger sister playing at Cincinnati is the latest step in Serena's comeback at age 44 after losing at Wimbledon in her first singles match in nearly four years.

Stokes led England's Test side from 2022 before moving away. "I'm doing my Level 3 coaching now while I'm still playing, because I want, when the day comes that I'm not playing any more, I'd love to be able to have all that stuff signed off and done," Stokes was quoted as saying on the podcast "For The Love Of Cricket".

World Cup hero Pedro Brito leaves Cape Verde to coach RS Berkane in Morocco  
Cape Verde coach Bubista, who led the World Cup debutant to a stellar tournament, joined Moroccan club RS Berkane on Tuesday. Berkane said it hired Pedro Brito, who is better known by his nickname Bubista, on a two-year contract. He replaces Moine Chaabani, who was hired by his native Tunisia, another World Cup team. The Cape Verde federation thanked Bubista on its social media accounts for his "dedication, professionalism, and contribution" to the national team. Cape Verde made a stunning start to the World Cup, holding eventual champion Spain to a 0-0 draw inspired by 40-year-old goalkeeper Vozinha. Further draws against Uruguay and Saudi Arabia sealed second place in the group and a round-of-32 game against Argentina. Though Argentina eventually won 3-2, Cape Verde took the game to extra time where a second tying goal by Sidny Lopes Cabral was voted best goal of the tournament.

West Indies mount comeback as Babar's Test ton drought stretches on  
Pakistan captain Babar Azam was denied his first Test century in four years as West Indies fought back in the second and final cricket Test on Tuesday. Babar, who last scored a Test century in December 2022 against New Zealand at Karachi, was run out for 88 by Brandon King's stunning direct throw from short cover before Pakistan's middle order collapsed and reached 333-6 at lunch on Day 3. Pakistan still trails by 11 runs with Abdullah Shafique holding the fort at 132 not out and tailender Sajid Khan unbeaten on 16. King picked up a lower back injury and had to be stretchered off after he fell awkwardly as his sharp throw ran out Babar at the striker's end when Shafique refused to go for a tight single and Babar couldn't recover his ground after running halfway to the wicket. West Indies dried up runs through some disciplined bowling from Jomel Warrican and Jayden Seales after Pakistan resumed at 266-2.

Former FIFA VP Prince Ali claims FIFA used 'blackmail' over payouts  
Former FIFA vice president Prince Ali bin Al Hussein criticized the soccer body's leadership headed by Gianni Infantino on Tuesday, describing prize money withheld from his Jordan national team as a kind of blackmail. Prince Ali said the Jordanian federation he leads still has not been paid money due for reaching the final of the FIFA Arab Cup played last December in Qatar. In a social media post, Prince Ali said that during the World Cup - where Jordan made its debut in June - he was told if he endorsed FIFA President Gianni Infantino "it would go a long way to helping our FA out." Infantino is under pressure to save his 11-year presidency amid a fierce backlash from global soccer leaders about his now-failed plan to sell a stake in future World Cup profits to investors led by Joshua Kushner. "We pride ourselves in Jordan in upholding ethical values. We did not endorse him before and certainly will not now," said Prince Ali, who placed third in a five-candidate FIFA presidential .

Iran, Oman near deal to reopen Strait of Hormuz amid push to end war  
Iran and Oman are inching toward a deal to reopen the disputed Strait of Hormuz and potentially help bring an end to the war. The emerging agreement calls for ships to enter the Persian Gulf through an Iranian-controlled route and exit through a route controlled by Oman, two regional officials told The Associated Press. Any deal, though, appears contingent on the United States lifting its blockade on Iran's ports. The Trump administration has previously ruled out any deal that would give Iran control over the strait. Elsewhere, a mass funeral was held in Gaza City for more than 100 people killed in an Israeli strike early in the conflict.

No Israeli withdrawal from Gaza until complete Hamas disarmament: Netanyahu  
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday that Israel will not withdraw from its current lines in Gaza until Hamas has completely disarmed and pushed back on a recent deal announced by US President Donald Trump. Netanyahu's remarks cast more doubt on the deal to disarm Hamas, which was seen as a potential breakthrough for ending the war. It also marked a rare public display of friction with the Trump administration. The agreement called for Hamas to begin disarming and for Israel to halt its strikes and begin withdrawing from the roughly 60 per cent of Gaza it currently controls. It was based on an October ceasefire agreement that ended major military operations and brought about the release of the remaining hostages held in Gaza but has stalled on other fronts. Netanyahu, who faces a tough battle for reelection in October, reiterated his stance that disarmament should come first. He said Israeli forces would continue to "do whatever is necessary to protect themselves, our .

The Ministry of Heavy Industries on Tuesday said it has not formulated any separate phased national policy to incentivise flex-fuel vehicles operating on fuel blended with "more than 20 per cent ethanol".
