Top para-shuttler facing sanctions over whereabouts failures?
CHENNAI: In what could turn into another embarrassing moment in Indian sport, months ahead of the Paralympics, one of the country's prominent para-badminton players has apparently been facing suspension over whereabouts failure. It is understood that the matter was taken to the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) over three whereabouts failures in 2022 and the matter was pursued by the World Badminton Federation (BWF). The para-athlete, a Paralympic medallist, apparently missed two tests and one filing failure in the last quarter of 2022. According to BWF anti-doping rule, “2.4 Whereabouts Failures by an Athlete Any combination of three (3) missed tests and/or filing failures, as defined in the International Standard for Results Management, within a twelve (12) month period by an Athlete in a Registered Testing Pool.”The BWF had apparently informed the player and recorded the three as whereabouts failure in a year and notified the authorities concerned. According to the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), “Athletes commit a missed test whereabouts failure if they are not available to be tested during their 60-minute designated testing window when a doping control officer comes to test them.”

Still behind: Editorial on India ranking 112th on progress towards UN’s Sustainable Development Goals
The State of India’s Environment 2024 report by the Centre for Science and Environment ranked India at 112 among 166 countries based on its efforts towards achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals in 2023. Pakistan and Afghanistan are the only two South Asian countries behind India in this ranking. A comparison with some of India’s immediate neighbours might illuminate the reasons that are leading India to fall behind in fulfilling its SDG commitments. Four years and eleven months is the average duration of life lost to air pollution in India. Equitability and sustainability elude India’s growth story.

Conciliatory move: Google extends “temporary relief” to certain app developers post govt nudge
Under this temporary new dispensation, the tech giant would continue to invoice the applicable full service fees in the interim, but extend the payment timelines so that the app developers can pay Google later. This latest interim relief is only for the 14 app developers who are part of the appeals before the Supreme Court. Apps reinstalled will mostly come with in-app billing even as the app developers would have the final choice of opting for consumption model or in-app billing. “In the spirit of cooperation, we are temporarily reinstating the apps of the developers with appeals pending in the Supreme Court. We want to ensure developers have freedom of choice in choosing payment gateways and gateway charges rather than being forced.

Uber Eats starts robot deliveries in Tokyo
Like self-driving delivery services launched by the company in North America, the Tokyo robots will be limited in scope at first, said Uber Eats executive Alvin Oo. “Going all the way to the office floor, to the exact apartment… could be useful in somewhere like high-rise Tokyo,” said Oo, market operations director at Uber Eats Japan. Uber Eats and similar apps faced strikes last month, and rideshare giant Uber has long been criticised for dodging minimum wage and holiday pay rules by arguing its workers are not employees but independent contractors. The Uber Eats robots, developed with Mitsubishi Electric and US start-up Cartken, will deliver food from just a few restaurants in the busy Nihonbashi district at first. Users cannot choose robot delivery, and if it is selected for them they can accept or decline the offer.

The latest talks on Gaza have ended with no breakthrough, officials say
Two Egyptian officials said the latest round of discussions had ended. The U.N. children’s agency said on March 4 that at least 10 children have reportedly died in isolated northern Gaza because of dehydration and malnutrition. The Gaza Health Ministry said that 15 children have starved to death at the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza and another six were at risk of dying from malnutrition and dehydration. Northern Gaza, the first target of Israel’s offensive, has suffered mass devastation. Up to 3,00,000 Palestinians are believed to remain in northern Gaza after Israel ordered the evacuation of the entire region, including Gaza City, in October.
