Gareth Southgate insists England’s status as favourites in their World Cup last 16 clash with Senegal means nothing because the African champions will pose a serious threat to his team. Southgate’s side are regarded as title contenders in Qatar after reaching the 2018 World Cup semi-finals and finishing as Euro 2020 runners-up. England are expected to see off Senegal at the Al Bayt Stadium on Sunday, but Southgate has no intention of underestimating Aliou Cisse’s men.

Why India has not been successful at eliminating plastic pollution

In February 2022, years after conceptualising Extended Producer Responsibility for plastic through the Plastic Waste Management Rules , 2016, India notified guidelines for the policy. Among the categories of plastic to be collected and recycled under the Extended Producer Responsibility are rigid packaging, flexible packaging of single layer or multilayer plastic sheets such as plastic sachets or pouches, multilayer plastic packaging and carry bags made of compostable plastic. Estimates say 43% of manufactured plastic in India is used for packaging purposes, and is mostly single-use plastic. A brand audit involves counting and documenting the brands found on plastic waste to identify the companies responsible for plastic pollution. While India does not have data on multilayer plastics as a percentage of total plastic waste, the brand audit report said, based on its findings, “multi-layered plastics made up 35% of all plastic waste, and 40% of all branded plastic waste”.

T20 World Cup: ‘Biggest threat’ Suryakumar Yadav stamps his authority against Netherlands

After India notched up their second successive win at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 on Thursday, Netherlands pacer Paul van Meekeren had little hesitation in admitting that the most pressure he felt while bowling was against Suryakumar Yadav. T20 World Cup, INDvNED as it happened: India’s all-round show ensures big win over Netherlands“I think we know how good SKY is. T20 World Cup: Suryakumar Yadav stars as India beat Netherlands by 56 runs to go atop Group 2Suryakumar has been India’s standout batter in the shortest format for a while now, and he showed his class again with a calculated knock against the Dutch.

Explained: Why Covid-19 is surging in China and its possible global economic impact

China is currently witnessing a major surge in Covid-19 infections, being described as the largest of the pandemic anywhere across the world. “Zero Covid” refers to the set of restrictions – some of the strictest in the world – geared to contain the spread of Covid-19 infections. Along with the asymptomatic cases, which China counts separately, the daily case number had crossed the 40,000-mark on November 27. Public health officials there estimate 60% of the country’s population – roughly 10% of the global population – could be infected over the next three months. Now, the rapid surge in Covid-19 infections could lead the world’s second-largest economy into another crisis, further constrain global supply chains and delay economic recovery in China and across the world.

Amazon to layoff 10,000 employees starting this week, reports New York Times

In two years, Amazon doubled its work force and used the profit to expand and experiment, according to The New York Times. The losses have prompted layoffs, according to the newspaper, just as it had done in the past. “We’re realistic that there’s various factors weighing on people’s wallets,” Amazon Chief Financial Officer Brian Olsavsky had told investors last month, according to The New York Times. A month later, it paused filling over 10,000 jobs in its core retail business, according to The New York Times.
