In a highly anticipated Women’s World Cup match, Australia emerged victorious against England, continuing their dominance in the tournament. The game, held in Indore, saw Australia’s Annabel Sutherland and Ash Gardner deliver standout performances, guiding their team to a convincing win. Sutherland, already the tournament’s leading wicket-taker, added a crucial 98 runs to her tally, while Gardner scored a rapid 69, ensuring Australia’s triumph with nearly 10 overs to spare. England, despite showing significant improvement since their last encounter with Australia, fell short in key moments. Amy Jones and Tammy Beaumont provided a strong start, but England’s middle order struggled to maintain the momentum. Alice Capsey and Charlie Dean contributed valuable runs, but it wasn’t enough to challenge Australia’s depth and resilience. This defeat marks England’s first loss in the tournament, serving as a stark reminder of the level of perfection required to topple a team of Australia’s caliber. The match highlighted Australia’s ability to adapt and thrive under pressure, with multiple players stepping up to secure the win. England, on the other hand, will need to address their middle-order inconsistencies if they hope to compete at the highest level. The result underscores Australia’s status as the team to beat in women’s cricket, while England must regroup and refine their strategies as the World Cup progresses.

UAE’s Emaar chief Alabbar says ‘can raise $400 billion in a week’ to fix US housing woes
Mohammed Alabbar, the founder of UAE-based Emaar Properties, has unveiled an ambitious plan to address the escalating housing crisis in the United States. Speaking at the Reuters NEXT Gulf Summit in Abu Dhabi, Alabbar asserted that he could raise $400 billion within a week to tackle the shortage of nearly five million housing units in the US. He emphasized that the crisis, if left unresolved, could have catastrophic consequences for the American economy. Alabbar proposed collaborating with major US players to not only alleviate the housing deficit but also generate substantial revenue for the government. He highlighted that solving the housing issue could reduce inflation by 50%, create 20 million jobs, and generate $2.5 trillion in tax revenue over a decade. Despite his bold vision, Alabbar clarified that Emaar is not currently in talks with any American companies to enter the US real estate market. Shifting focus to the UAE, he expressed optimism about the local property market, predicting a balance in prices by 2026-2027 due to increased supply. Alabbar also critiqued the European economy, urging EU leaders to address their economic challenges to stem the flow of migrants to the UAE. He praised the UAE’s leadership and its multicultural harmony. Additionally, Alabbar revealed Emaar’s interest in expanding into markets like India, China, and Europe, leveraging the company’s strong financial position and strategic partnerships. He cited the overwhelming success of Emaar’s Red Sea development in Egypt as evidence of the company’s global potential.

Nearly a year after truce, women in south Lebanon say war never ended
Nearly a year after a U.S.-brokered ceasefire was intended to restore peace along Lebanon’s southern border with Israel, tens of thousands of displaced residents remain unable to return to their homes. Despite the truce, Israeli strikes continue to devastate the region, hindering reconstruction efforts and leaving communities in limbo. Among those affected is Zeinab Mehdi, a 50-year-old farmer from Naqoura, who fled her home during the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. Mehdi, like many others, had hoped the ceasefire would allow her to return safely, but ongoing strikes and destruction have dashed those hopes. Satellite imagery reviewed by Reuters reveals extensive damage to structures in Naqoura and Houla, with buildings flattened months after the truce took effect. Israel claims its strikes target Hezbollah’s military activities, while Lebanese officials and rights groups accuse Israel of deliberately preventing civilians from returning. The International Organization for Migration reports that over 64,000 people remain displaced, with some living in schools in Tyre. Community initiatives, such as Mounifa Aidibeh’s Mhanna kitchen, provide meals for the displaced, but the lack of security and ongoing strikes underscore the persistent state of war. Reconstruction efforts remain stalled, with the World Bank estimating Lebanon needs $11 billion to rebuild. However, international donors have yet to convene, and some countries link recovery funds to progress in disarming Hezbollah. For residents like Bidaya Sleiman, who lost her home in Houla, the priority is not compensation but security. ‘The war never ended,’ Aidibeh said. ‘It will end when Israel leaves Lebanon completely.’

How parent communication with schools can reduce exam stress
As the December end-of-semester exams approach, schools across the UAE are intensifying efforts to foster a collaborative environment between parents and educational institutions. This initiative aims to reduce exam stress by encouraging parents to adopt a balanced and informed approach to their children’s academic journey. The Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK) has reinforced this focus by mandating that schools cover all costs for external assessments, ensuring no additional financial burden on parents. This policy shift is part of broader efforts to standardize and enhance the assessment process. Education leaders are urging parents to move beyond exam pressure and instead provide constructive support. Schools like Shining Star International and GEMS Wellington Academy are leading the way with structured communication, personalized guidance, and mental health support. Woodlem American School in Ajman emphasizes transparency through parent portals and regular updates. Experts like Girish Hemnani, a Dubai-based life coach, stress the importance of parental empathy and collaboration over control. Parents, too, are recognizing the value of this balanced approach, with many reporting reduced stress and improved outcomes for their children.

Ponting predicts India’s Kohli and Rohit will regain form after Perth defeat
Former Australian cricket captain Ricky Ponting has expressed confidence that Indian cricket stalwarts Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will regain their form following India’s seven-wicket loss to Australia in the first one-day international (ODI) in Perth. The defeat marked the duo’s return to action since their Champions Trophy victory in March, as they focus on the 2027 World Cup. Despite their underwhelming performance in Perth, where Rohit scored eight runs and Kohli was dismissed for a duck, Ponting believes their experience and skill will see them through. Speaking on the ICC Review podcast, Ponting emphasized, ‘You don’t write off champion players ever. These two have been among the best, and I expect them to bounce back quickly.’ The three-match series now moves to Adelaide, a venue known for its batting-friendly conditions, though Ponting acknowledged the challenge posed by Australia’s formidable bowling attack. Former Indian coach Ravi Shastri also weighed in, highlighting the legacy of Kohli and Rohit, who have dominated the sport for over a decade. Shastri remarked, ‘Their contribution is special, and their legacy will remain intact regardless of when they decide to retire.’
