Anticipating sanctions from the International Cricket Council (ICC) over their last-minute withdrawal from the T20 World Cup game against India in Colombo on February 15, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) might enforce the Force Majeure clause in their defence, The Indian Express has learnt.

I keep reading a lot about parenthood nowadays, and some wise people advise parents to involve children in many extracurricular activities, much to the pleasure or chagrin of their wards. I was not surprised because, unlike my time, today, parents take equal care to improve the extracurricular activities of their children. I heard later that many parents wanted their wards to be trained in dance, music, sports, acting, academics and what not. A parent needs to create interest in their children to encourage them to participate in extracurricular activities. I am afraid I may likely incur the wrath of several ambitious parents after reading this.

Democratic US senators on Thursday urged the Pentagon to conduct an immediate review of SpaceX amid allegations that Chinese investors have secretly acquired stakes in the closely held rocket maker, citing potential national security risks, according to a letter seen by Reuters. Senators Elizabeth Warren and Andy Kim wrote to defense secretary Pete Hegseth, expressing concern that Chinese investment in SpaceX could present "a national security threat, potentially jeopardizing key military, intelligence, and civilian infrastructure." Founded by Elon Musk, the world's richest man, SpaceX plays a central role in US national security infrastructure, launching military and intelligence satellites and operating its Starlink communications network, which is used by the Pentagon and to support Ukraine's defense. The senators warned that any Chinese ownership could trigger US rules governing foreign ownership, control or influence, known as FOCI, given the potential exposure of sensitive information or technologies. The letter asks the Department of Defense to disclose the extent of any Chinese ownership, assess whether SpaceX is subject to FOCI mitigation requirements, and determine whether foreign investments should be reviewed by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States.
