Ex-England star says there’s ‘no chance’ he would ever want to play under Ruben Amorim and slams Man Utd tactics
DANNY MURPHY has insisted there is "no chance" he would ever want to play under Ruben Amorim. The nine-times-capped England star slammed the Manchester United manager's tactics following their penalty shootout exit from the second round of the League Cup to Grimsby. And ex-Liverpool star Murphy has slammed those tactics, claiming he wouldn't like to play in that midfield. "Your spare man was almost in build-up when you needed that spare man sort of further higher up the pitch to make an overload out wide or through the middle." Those thoughts were echoed by fellow pundit Jordi McAnuff, who added: "How many times was that spare man De Ligt, for example, in that build-up?

India's first counter to Donald Trump's tariffs: Textile exports to be pushed; 40 countries in focus amidst 50% duties
"The impact is not as is being projected.Our exports are quite diversified, and we are not so dependent on the US market. Some (manufacturing) units may take a hit, but not the entire sector. "The apparel industry was reconciled to the 25 per cent reciprocal tariff announced by the USA, as it was prepared to absorb a part of the tariff increase. "This is extremely critical as it is not easy to recover the lost ground and regain market share, once buyers move away to other cost-competitive locations. "In the next 2-3 days, the ministry will meet stakeholders on the diversification of exports," the official added.

Braveheart 2.0: Why a Dundee girl became a right-wing symbol of resistance against immigrants in the UK
Distrust of authority: The perception that police and courts fail to protect the vulnerable, forcing communities to fend for themselves. In the eyes of the law, the girl is a child charged with a weapons offence. A child has been charged, while a Bulgarian man — wrongly accused online — insists he has done nothing wrong. The myths travelled faster than the facts, merging grooming gang trauma, immigration fears, and Scottish defiance into a viral storm. The Braveheart echoes explain the emotional charge, but the truth is simpler: a frightened girl, a family man, and a country still fighting its culture wars.

When in reality, Thomas cheated his way into the NCAA finals in 2022 by declaring that he is a woman.

Indian aluminium producers shift focus to domestic, UK markets
12Bhubaneswar: Indian aluminium producers have downplayed concerns over the effect of US tariff hike up to 25% on imports, with companies reorienting their exports to tariff-free destinations like the UK while simultaneously strengthening their presence in the domestic market.Nalco ruled out any adverse fallout from the tariff hike, stressing that its business strategy has already pivoted towards the UK, where aluminium exports face zero duty. "The US tariff revision will not affect Nalco's business. On the contrary, we see significant potential in the UK, which provides a duty-free window for aluminium," said Nalco CMD Brijendra Pratap Singh.Vedanta Aluminium, one of India's largest producers, also indicated minimal exposure to the US market. "Aluminium exports to the US comprise less than 3% of our sales mix. Rising infrastructure push, renewable energy expansion and defence manufacturing are expected to absorb much of the domestic aluminium production.President of Utkal Chamber of Commerce and Industries, Prabodh Mohanty, said that while seafood exports may face setbacks, steel and aluminium sectors will remain largely unaffected, with opportunities to explore new markets, including domestic ones.
