White House Reviews Candidates To Potentially Replace Steve Feinberg

Senior officials at the White House have been quietly vetting potential replacements for Deputy Secretary of Defense Steve Feinberg.  Reuters reported that the vetting effort dates back to at least June, with two of its sources saying White House officials had sounded out senior Senators on whether prospective nominees could win confirmation. One source indicated the exercise was still active as recently as late August, though the outlet could not pin down exactly when the search began or who was being considered. The administration, meanwhile, insists no such process exists and that Feinberg remains firmly in his post. Both the White House and the Pentagon rejected the report outright. White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly dismissed the sourcing behind the story, while Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth said Feinberg had his complete backing and was "doing a tremendous job." The Pentagon separately denied that any replacement search was under way and declined to make Fei...

The Indian Premier League 2025, 18th edition of the t20 extravaganza, will be a closely watch affair. There is huge curiosity among the fans about the season as the teams will bear a fresh look following a mega auction that took place in November last year. While teams were allowed a maximum of six retentions, including Right-To-Match option, the rest of the squad had to be formed via the auction. Some big names fetched massive sum and the bidding wars made the IPL 2025 all the more interesting. For the stats, Rishabh Pant turned out to be the costliest player ever sold in IPL auction history as he was picked by Lucknow Super Giants for a whopping INR 27 crore.

According to a report in Cricbuzz, the IPL 2025 will start on March 22 with a match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challenges Bengaluru. The report said defending champions KKR will face RCB, who announced their new skipper Rajat Patidar on Thursday, at Eden Gardens. Last year's runners-up Sunrisers Hyderabad will also play their first game at home against Rajasthan Royals at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Uppal on March 23.

The report said, the final will be held in Kolkata on Sunday, May 25. 

The report further claimed that apart from the 10 regular centres - Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru, Lucknow, Mullanpur, Delhi, Jaipur, Kolkata and Hyderabad, Guwahati and Dharamsala will host matches too. 

Guwahati is likely to gets a couple of Rajasthan Royals' 'home' matches on March 26 and 30. Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings will be their opponents in the games. Dharamsala may host a couple of home games of Punjab Kings.

Earlier, on January 12, BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla, who attended the Special General Meeting in Mumbai, said, "IPL is going to start from March 23."

Hollywood Shuts Down As Actors Go On Strike

Hollywood's actors announced Thursday they will go on strike, joining writers in the first industry-wide shutdown in 63 years after last-ditch talks failed, with nearly all film and television production set to grind to a halt. The Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA), which represents 160,000 performers including A-list stars, said negotiations had ended without a deal on their demands over dwindling pay and the threat posed by artificial intelligence. "SAG-AFTRA's national board unanimously voted to issue a strike order against the studios and streamers," said the union's chief negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland.
