'Hat-trick Patrick' helps Australia down Bangladesh
Australia were 100 for two after 11.2 overs before the match was abandoned, with Warner unbeaten on 53 and Glenn Maxwell 14 not out at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. Cummins's third victim came in the over after his first two wickets, and his hat-trick celebration was conspicuously understated. I totally forgot about it," Cummins said of his first hat-trick in international cricket and the first at the tournament. He finished with 3-29 from his four overs while spinner Adam Zampa took 2-24 to put the brakes on Bangladesh in the middle overs. His poor form with the bat continued, though, with Marsh dismissed lbw for one by Rishad Hossain, who took both the Australian wickets, bowling Travis Head for 31.

US bans Russia's Kaspersky antivirus software
WASHINGTON, June 21, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - President Joe Biden's administration on Thursday banned Russia-based cybersecurity firm Kaspersky from providing its popular antivirus products in the United States over national security concerns, the US Commerce Department said. "Kaspersky will generally no longer be able to, among other activities, sell its software within the United States or provide updates to software already in use," the agency said in a statement. "Kaspersky does not engage in activities which threaten US national security and, in fact, has made significant contributions with its reporting and protection from a variety of threat actors that targeted US interests and allies," the company said. While Kaspersky is headquartered in Moscow, it has offices in 31 countries around the world, servicing more than 400 million users and 270,000 corporate clients in more than 200 countries, the Commerce Department said. The Commerce Department said it "strongly encouraged" users to switch to new vendors, although its decision does not ban them from using the software should they choose to do so.

Are security threats emerging over Saint Martin's?
Over the past few months the Arakan Army has taken over vast areas of Arakan territory. To continue forging ahead, they will need to ensure that the Myanmar army cannot advance along the river Naf. From the measures being taken by the Arakan army it is evident that they do not consider Rohingya to be their supporters. And so they are staging all sorts of attacks on vessels moving down the river Naf to let their presence be known. After all, in the past Myanmar's special attention and interest in Saint Martin's has been marked.

I'm urging Rep. Calvert to align his policies with the needs of his constituents
It's clear we need a health care system that prioritizes people, offering care that is accessible and affordable for everyone. Rep. Calvert's opposition directly worsens the plight of families unable to bear the soaring costs of health care and essential medications. As constituents, we hold a duty to demand accountability from our elected officials, like Congressman Calvert, whose voting record on health care paints a concerning picture. The need for change is urgent; we require leaders who champion accessible, affordable health care and resist the influence of health care and pharmaceutical giants. Our community deserves representation that tirelessly works to ensure health care access for all, urging Rep. Calvert to align his policies with the needs of his constituents.
