From pariah to power player: Saudi’s MBS reclaims world stage in U.S. visit

DUBAI - On his first White House visit since the killing of Saudi critic Jamal Khashoggi sparked global outrage, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is on a mission to reclaim his place on the world stage and prove to President Donald Trump that backing his forceful leadership was worth the gamble.Tuesday’s meeting between Trump and Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler — widely known as MBS — underscores a relationship built on strategic interests that have endured even as the uproar around the 2018 killing of Khashoggi, an insider-turned-critic, recedes into history. Seven years on, MBS now casts himself as a broker of peace, repairing ties with Iran, pushing for a Gaza ceasefire and welcoming Syria back into the Arab fold, a striking pivot from a prince once branded reckless for plunging into Yemen’s war.Both reformist and autocrat, MBS has emerged as the most momentous and audacious leader in the kingdom’s modern history — driving its transformation and shaping its future.

Atlassian: Jet-setting, job growth push Australian tech company 135 per cent over travel emissions goal

Business travel related carbon emissions have soared 135 per cent above target at Atlassian, the homegrown tech company co-founded by Sydneysider and climate warrior Mike Cannon-Brookes. In its 2025 Sustainability Report released on Monday, the $61 billion software giant blamed the emissions target failure on soaring staff numbers and rejected the idea it was linked to Mr Cannon-Brookes using a private jet to travel the world. The report declared the “open company, no bullshit” truth is that a larger staff count equals a larger carbon footprint, with emissions per staff member falling 38 per cent since 2019. Total emissions grew 13 per cent year-over-year between 2019 and 2025. “In other words, company growth has outpaced emissions growth. Updates to our business travel policy and travel guidance for Atlassians were a move in the right direction,” the report said. “But as travel emissions continue to rise . . . we must do more.” The report does not detail any increase in travel emissions as a result of Mr Cannon-Brookes using a private jet from its purchase believed to be at an unknown time in 2025. Mr Cannon-Brookes has previously said he needs a private jet to help run his business and be present as a dad to his Australia-based children. The tech company is also a major sponsor of British Formula 1 motor racing team Atlassian Williams, with Mr Cannon-Brookes previously suggesting the motorsport popular with jet-setters is also working towards net zero targets. Atlassian has run its office on 100 per cent renewable electricity since the 2020 financial year and said it would set new targets for business travel emissions in fiscal 2026. It’s set to move into a new Atlassian Central headquarters near Sydney’s central business district it says will run on 100 per cent renewable energy and be constructed with half the usual required carbon outputs. It says it incorporates the goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2040 into all of its policies and actively prefers business partners or suppliers who it rates as climate friendly. It has also been a strong supporter of work from home policies under its “Team Anywhere” rules, which give employees significant flexibility in choosing where they want to work from almost anywhere in the world. Strong growth Over the 12 months to June 30, 2025, the software company posted an adjusted net profit up 30 per cent to $US975.9 million on sales up around 20 per cent to $US5.2 billion. It expects sales to grow another 20 per cent over the 12 months to June 30 as it invests heavily in delivering new products based on developments in artificial intelligence. Shares in the Nasdaq-listed tech business have tumbled 38 per cent over the past year as investors worry it may be a net loser from advances in AI that could reduce demand for its existing software and workflow platforms. However, Mr Cannon-Brookes has dismissed this idea as nonsense and has repeatedly argued his company can use AI to improve its products and grow profits.

IT Payment Rules: Good news! Now make your income tax payment in minutes using UPI apps like Paytm, PhonePe.

Income Tax Payment: You can use your favorite UPI apps like Paytm, PhonePe, or Google Pay to pay your income tax. The money is deducted from your linked bank account via UPI, and the invoice is instantly generated on the portal, making the process extremely easy and fast. Income Tax Payment: The process of filing income tax has completely changed. You no longer need to visit a bank or set up net-banking. You can easily pay your advance tax, self-assessment tax, and other direct taxes on the Income Tax e-filing portal. You can use your favorite UPI apps like Paytm, PhonePe, or Google Pay to make payments. The money is deducted from your linked bank account via UPI, and the invoice is instantly generated on the portal, making the process extremely easy and fast. Let’s walk you through the step-by-step process of making tax payments using UPI. How to make a tax payment using UPI 1. Login and open ‘e-Pay Tax’: Go to incometax.gov.in and log in with your PAN (user ID) and password. Click on the ‘e-Pay Tax’ option on your dashboard. If you don’t want to login, there is also an option to ‘e-pay tax’ (without login) on the homepage, but logging in makes it easier to track the receipt. 2. Create your invoice correctly: Select ‘New payment’ and select the correct tax type; most individual taxpayers select ‘Advance tax’ or ‘Self-assessment tax’. Select the correct assessment year. Enter the amount you need to pay. Double-check your name and PAN before proceeding. Upon confirmation, the portal generates an invoice and shows you the amount payable and available payment modes. 3. Select UPI and pay in your app: Select UPI as the payment mode. The portal will show you a QR code (and often a UPI ID). Open Paytm, PhonePe, or Google Pay on your phone, tap ‘Scan & Pay,’ scan the QR code. Confirm the amount, and approve the payment with your UPI PIN. Keep the app open until you see a ‘payment successful’ message. Paying income tax through Paytm, PhonePe, or Google Pay is incredibly easy. Create a challan on the portal, select the UPI app, make the payment in your app, and then download the receipt. 4. Confirm the credit and download the receipt: Return to the e-filing tab. The payment status will usually change to ‘Paid’ within a minute or two. Download your challan receipt from ‘Payment history.’ This receipt contains the CIN (Challan Identification Number) and UTR number—these are legal proof of your payment. Save this PDF for your records and email it to yourself. What if a payment fails or is in processing? If the UPI status shows ‘Success’ but the portal still shows ‘Pending’, do not make another payment immediately. Wait 30-60 minutes and refresh your ‘Payment history’. If the status remains pending, check your bank statement to see if the amount has been deducted. If the amount has been deducted but the challan has not been generated, raise a ticket on the portal or contact your bank/UPI app support with the UTR. Most failed UPI tax payments are automatically refunded to your account within a short time.

Japan uses series against South Korea to prep for World Baseball Classic title defense

Samurai Japan’s two-game series against South Korea over the weekend was less about wins and losses and more about gathering valuable information ahead of next spring’s defense of the World Baseball Classic (WBC) title.​Japan rallied past its rival in an 11-4 rout in Game 1 at Tokyo Dome on Saturday night and was one out away from a sweep in Game 2 on Sunday before South Korea hit a game-tying homer in a contest that ended 7-7.The main takeaway for Japan was the chance to play with the pitch clock and PitchCom — neither of which is used in NPB — in an environment similar to what awaits at the Big Egg in March.

Assam Bans Inter-District Movement Of Live Pigs Amid African Swine Fever Outbreak - Northeast Today

Guwahati, Nov 17: The Assam government has banned the inter-district movement of live pigs across the state following a sharp rise in African Swine Fever (ASF) cases, officials said on Sunday. An order issued by the Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Department also prohibits the sale of pork in seven districts reporting a high concentration of ASF cases: Dhemaji, Kamrup, Lakhimpur, Sivasagar, Darrang, Jorhat, and Dibrugarh. The department highlighted that ASF, which has a 100 percent mortality rate among pigs, has severely affected Assam’s piggery sector. Since January, 297 ASF epicentres have been reported across the state, including 84 cases identified in October alone. Citing provisions of the Prevention and Control of Infectious and Contagious Diseases in Animals Act, 2009, the department stated that the ban on inter-district movement of live pigs is effective immediately and will remain in place until further notice to prevent further spread of the disease.
