@jenzhuscott Its OK, their country their decision. China will march ahead will all new technologies in the world, while US will be addicted to oil and gas, wars etc like in 19th, 20th Century
@DalalIRIQAT If crimes are committed by Israel inside Palestinian territories then security forces, police must arrest these settlers immediately and bring them under judicial system of Palestinian courts and sentence them. It's a must, that's how entire world works. Palestine must do this
@DalalIRIQAT@DalalIRIQAT Great work!! But it's high time that Palestine security forces protect these farmers and arrest settlers who encroach, steal and commit violence.Palestinian courts then must try these settlers in Palestine's Court of Law and when found guilty sentence, imprison them.
I am deeply anguished to know that the legendary colour of the Indian hockey team’s jersey has been changed to saffron. The iconic shade of blue of the Indian hockey team is not just a colour. It is an emotion associated with the nation’s sporting heritage.
For decades, this colour united us in hope, in victory, in defeat and in the pursuit of sporting excellence. We have cried, laughed, celebrated and stood proudly with our men and women in blue. Wearing the blue jersey our teams have won Olympic medals with the national anthem playing on the world stage. #Blue is derived from the blue chakra in our national flag. It is a symbol of our national pride and identity. The colour blue belongs to every Indian.
When the national hockey teams were struggling for sponsors, #Odisha created history by being the first and only state to support our national teams and our beloved game. Every Odia across the globe was proud of the state’s gift to national hockey. After 41 long years, our men’s team won an Olympic medal. Just because the government changed in Odisha, it should not change our national team colours. This is petty politics of the worst kind.
Our blue jersey is to us what the iconic stripes are to Argentina and the yellow jersey is to Brazil. It is etched in our collective memory. Any change in this colour, is a crass attempt to erase our priceless sporting legacy. National symbols are meant to unite us not divide.
I am given to understand that this step was taken under pressure from the BJP Government in Odisha. Those in authority may deny it, but the fact is that for the last two years, everybody in Odisha has seen the obsession of this government with changing colours of buildings, buses and even bridges. It is the only work that is happening in Odisha today. But now the same government has changed the colours of our national team. I strongly condemn this attempt by BJP Odisha to politicise a national game like hockey. It has deeply hurt the sentiments of lakhs of sports lovers across the country and the pride with which Odisha has supported the national hockey.

Met with the Consul General of Spain Mr. #Gutiérrez_Xavier at the #Fatah Headquarters in #Ramallah Palestine for a thoughtful and forward-looking political exchange.
Our discussion focused inter alia on the upcoming electoral process, stronger institutions, and greater leadership opportunities for #women and #youth.
We also exchanged views on the latest Palestinian political developments.
On behalf of the Palestinian people, I congratulated Spain for the victory in the World Cup ⚽️ and I appreciated his congratulations on my election to the Fatah Rev. Council with the highest number of votes.

@DalalIRIQAT Wow that's fantastic Dr Dalal !! Spain should play a key role in ensuring that elections are held with voting properly arranged for Palestinian people in East Jerusalem and Gaza. Also I would tell Fatah should reject Gaza board by Trump and instead involve Spain, China, Russia
FIFA President Mr Infantino plans to sell the World Cup to private promoters to convert the tournament between national teams into a commercial venture
Nothing can be more obnoxious than reducing the world's most-watched tournament into a private commercial venture
Football fans pay high prices to watch the matches. Advertisements and sponsorships bring in shoals of money. The World Cup is not losing money.
What is the need to hand over the tournament to a private company?
The entire Fifa story just reflects so much of the modern world
Billionaires buying up things of public interest, and that somehow being sold as for wider good

@leylahamed@businessnutter Platini, Blatter were targeted by CIA and US officials because USA saw Football as a lucrative opportunity to make 100's billions of money. Unlike any other Sport played in USA, Football has global reach. The entire 2026 WC was to maximize corruption as much as possible by USA
@leylahamed UEFA officials understand Football's importance. Infantino backed by USA have no understanding of Football, they just treat this as fun, business event to extract maximum money for Infantino, Trump, his family and inner circle businessman. USA, Infantino have disgraced football
Q2 GDP growth of 1.5% was weaker than expected. Worse, the GDP deflator surged 6.3%, the highest since Q2 2022. Consumer spending rose 3.2% as Americans borrowed to pay higher prices, especially for imports. This isn’t prosperity. It’s debt-fueled consumption masking stagflation.
@GuanXin411 Great points..as soon as domestic consumption fires up significantly compared to H1, real estate recovers fast, China would reach close to 5% GDP this year with strong growth in H2 and even 5.5% next year
China just held July Politburo meeting which is critically important because it lays out the specific economic work plan for the second half of the year. The readout signals a clear pivot from stabilising the 14th Five‑Year Plan to jump‑starting the 15th Five‑Year Plan (2026–2030). The policy tone is more proactive and forward‑looking:
· Fiscal & monetary: quicker spending, more timely incremental easing, stronger counter‑cyclical support.
· Domestic demand: sharper focus on service consumption, tailored to different income groups.
· Industries: deeper “AI+” actions, plus new “six networks” infrastructure and emerging pillar industries.
· Market rules: a national unified market regulation is on the way, with continued curbs on “involution‑style” competition.
· Capital markets: resilience and confidence take centre stage, moving beyond mere “attractiveness”.
Overall, the emphasis has shifted from “achieving annual goals” in 2025 to “shaping long‑term growth drivers” – a strategic upgrade worth watching.
