Trump Says US 'Wants To Help China, Not Hurt It', Days After Tariff Threat

President Donald Trump said Sunday the United States wants to help China, not hurt it, striking a conciliatory tone days after threatening an additional 100 per cent tariff on the world's second-largest economy. Trump's statements on Friday as well as his threat to cancel a meeting with Xi later this month sent Wall Street stocks tumbling into negative territory as traders worried the trade war between Washington and Beijing could reignite. "The USA wants to help China, not hurt it!!!" Trump said in Sunday's post on Truth Social, adding that "respected President Xi (Jinping)... doesn't want Depression for his country." Trump on Friday said that he would impose the extra levies from November 1 in response to what he called "extraordinarily aggressive" new Chinese export curbs on the rare-earths industry. Beijing, in turn, accused Washington of acting unfairly, with its Ministry of Commerce on Sunday calling Trump's tariff threat a ...

Rauf Slammed For Repeating Controversial Gesture Days After ICC Penalty

Pakistan pacer Haris Rauf has landed himself in trouble once again as a video of him aggressively celebrating India batter Abhishek Sharma's wicket in the Asia Cup 2025 final went viral on social media. This comes days after the 31-year-old was fined by the International Cricket Council (ICC) over his aggressive celebration in the Super Four match against India. However, he repeated his gesture after taking Abhishek's catch off Faheem Ashraf's bowling in the second over of India's 147-run chase. In a viral video, Rauf was seen making the same gesture.

It remains to be seen if he will get penalised once again for his action. 

On Friday, Rauf was fined 30 per cent of his match fees, while his teammate Sahibzada Farhan, however, escaped with a warning without any financial penalty for his controversial celebration.

The BCCI had officially lodged a complaint with ICC and match referee Andy Pycroft against the duo.

During the Asia Cup final on Sunday, India pacer Jasprit Bumrah gave a perfect send-off to Rauf after dismissing him.

Bumrah brought out a flight-landing gesture after uprooting Rauf's middle-stump.

India had the last laugh as they edged out Pakistan by five wickets to lift the Asia Cup.

Left-handed batter Tilak Varma rose to the occasion under immense pressure with an unbeaten 69, following India's top-order collapse.

On a two-paced pitch, Kuldeep Yadav spearheaded India's stunning turnaround by claiming four wickets, including three scalps in a game-changing 17th over, as Pakistan collapsed from 113/1 to 146 all out in 19.1 overs - losing their last nine wickets for just 33 runs.

The crafty troika of Kuldeep, Axar Patel and Varun Chakaravarthy ran riot by sharing eight wickets as reckless aerial shots led to Pakistan's dramatic slide. Kuldeep, who went from 23 runs in his first two overs to picking four wickets for just seven runs in his next two overs, was backed by Axar, Chakaravarthy and Bumrah taking two wickets apiece.

Coming in with India reeling at 20/3, Tilak delivered an innings of poise and precision under pressure to hit three fours and four sixes in a knock to be remembered for ages. While others faltered, Varma stood tall by anchoring the chase and dished out a masterclass in timing and temperament.

They are out of the Asia Cup, which is an even bigger embarrassment. India are still in the final. All is not lost for them. It was a great wakeup call for them to come back harder and make sure they secure victory in the finals but that will only happen if they play really well.

Why Trump's Claims About Americans Splitting The Atom Angers New Zealanders

Imagine a newly-elected president of a country claiming the legacy of someone as foundational as Thomas Edison. That's the kind of appropriation New Zealanders are witnessing. The recent inaugural address of President Donald Trump has sparked a heated debate over the origins of a groundbreaking scientific achievement: splitting the atom. Trump's claim that American experts were responsible for this feat has been met with swift correction from New Zealanders, who proudly assert that their native son, Sir Ernest Rutherford, was the true pioneer behind this discovery. Rutherford's achievement in 1917 at Victoria University of Manchester in England marked a pivotal moment in the history of nuclear physics. His work not only earned him a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1908 but also led to the discovery of radioactive half-life and the understanding that radioactivity involves the transmutation of one chemical element to another. Nick Smith, the mayor of Nelson, near Rutherford...
