The rapid rise of COVID-19 cases in Shanghai led to widespread panic in China and although the lockdown was able to decrease the cases, reports of food shortages and less than satisfactory living conditions continued to plague the citizens. However, it seems that normal life is set to return to Shanghai once more as the authorities plan to end the lockdown measures from June 1. It will mark the end of a tough six-week period which had a severe impact on both social and economic fronts.

Shanghai deputy mayor Zong Ming said on Monday that the city’s reopening will be carried out in phases and the restrictions on movement of the citizens will be removed after May 21.

“From June 1 to mid- and late June, as long as risks of a rebound in infections are controlled, we will fully implement epidemic prevention and control, normalise management and fully restore normal production and life in the city,” she said according to a report by Reuters.

The authorities also said that the first phase will be starting with reopening reopen supermarkets, convenience stores and pharmacies from Monday. China’s railway operator will also increase the number of trains arriving and departing the city and the same will be done with domestic flights.

After the relaxation of movement restrictions, bus and rail travel will start in Shanghai.

While Shanghai looks to bounce back from the troubles of the lockdown, Beijing continues to report cases and it remains to be seen whether a similar lockdown strategy is used in the Chinese capital.

Shanghai to resume normal life as tough COVID-19 lockdown set to end on June 1

A clinical Rajasthan Royals inched closer to securing a play-offs berth with a convincing 24-run win over Lucknow Super Giants in the Indian Premier League here on Sunday.

Both RR and LSG are now tied on 16 points from 13 matches and need another win to confirm their place in the next stage of the tournament. Thanks to their margin of victory, RR also toppled LSG from the second place.

Batting first, Yashasvi Jaiswal top-scored with 41 while Devdutt Padikkal blazed away to an 18-ball 39, as Rajasthan Royals posted 178 for six. Skipper Sanju Samson made 32 off 24 balls.

Ravi Bishnoi was the most successful bowler for LSG, picking 2/31 in four overs.

When their turn to bat came, LSG were stopped at 154 for eight.

The Super Giants got off to a terrible start as Trent Boult (2/18) sent back two of their top batters -- Quinton de Kock (7) and Ayush Badoni (0) -- in successive deliveries in the beginning of the third over.

De Kock was caught at point by an agile Jimmy Neesham, while Badoni was trapped in front of the wicket, after which the batter opted for a review to clear his doubts.

Deepak Hooda (59 off 39 balls) denied Boult a hat-trick -- the ball headed towards the slip but after one bounce.

In the next delivery though, Hooda got off the mark with a beautiful drive through covers. 
Following the New Zealand pacer's double blow, Prasidh Krishna (2/32) and Boult conceded only two runs in the next two overs, as RR kept things tight.

However, KL Rahul (10) struck Prasidh for a six to begin the final power play over but the bowler had the last laugh as he had the LSK skipper caught with his smart bowling.

LSG were in deep trouble at 29 for three in the sixth over when Krunal Pandya joined Hooda in the middle.

The two quickly added 65 runs for the fourth wicket to keep their team in the game, before Ravichandran Ashwin removed Pandya at a crucial juncture, thanks to some excellent work by Jos Buttler and Riyan Parag in the deep.

Meanwhile, Hooda brought up his fifty but Yuzvendra Chahal had the charging batter stumped after Sanju Samson nearly made a hash of it.

Obed McCoy (2/35) then picked up the wickets of Jason Holder and Dushmantha Chameera to take RR closer to victory.

Earlier, Jaiswal started the proceedings for Royals on a confident note, hitting successive fours off Mohsin Khan in the first over.

But the RR soon suffered a body blow when Avesh Khan knocked over the in-form Jos Buttler's (2) off-stump in the beginning of the third over as the batter tried to scoop it over fine leg.

Buttler's early dismissal brought skipper Sanju Samson into the middle and, looking to regain his touch, he straightaway got into the act, flicking Avesh past midwicket for a boundary at the Brabourne Stadium.

Samson then played a late cut against Mohsin and the ball flew over the slip cordon for a boundary. Then came a lovely cover drive from the blade of the RR captain as the team reached 25 for one in four overs.

Meanwhile, after getting an awkward boundary, Jaiswal got a life when Mohsin dropped him off the bowling of Avesh, failing to hold on to the ball despite getting both hands to it.

LSG paid heavily for the profligacy on Mohsin's part as Jaiswal made full use of the reprieve, accumulating 21 runs off Chameera to lift RR to 51 for one in the six power play overs.

He began the over with a four, found the fence two more times, and then finished it in style, carting the Sri Lankan pacer's short ball for a massive six over the midwicket region.

Even as Jaiswal went after the bowling, the usually flamboyant Samson seemed content playing second fiddle.

Samson, however, looked to cut loose against Ravi Bishnoi as he hit him for two fours before Jason Holder brought about the former's downfall in the next over with a slower ball outside off for Deepak Hooda to take a catch in the deep.

Devdutt Padikkal came and raced to 14 off 5 balls, with the help of two fours and a six against Marcus Stoinis.

Padikkal then scored two boundaries off Chameera as RR crossed 100 in the 11th over.

However, at the other end, Jaiswal was out caught and bowled by Ayush Badoni. But, unperturbed by the loss of the set Jaiswal, Padikkal continued to play his shots and got a six off Krunal Pandya.

Going for one too many though, Padikkal hold out in the deep.

IPL 2022: Rajasthan Royals inch closer to play-offs with victory over Lucknow Super Giants

The relationship between the United States’ top infectious disease expert Anthony Fauci and former president Donald Trump has always been quite rocky. Both of them have publicly stated their disliking for each other and it looks like the situation has not changed at all. Fauci made it clear on Sunday that he will resign from his position if Trump is re-elected as President in 2024.

Fauci, who has served under seven US Presidents till date and was a vocal critic of the former president’s handling of COVID-19, said during his CNN interview that he will leave as the director of the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases if Trump wins the elections in 2024.

In the interview, he once again said that he does not trust Trump’s ability to handle a public health emergency and said that the previous administration’s response to COVID-19 was ‘not optimal’.

“If you look at the history of what the response was during the administration, I think at best you could say it wasn’t optimal. And I just think history will speak for itself. I don’t need to make any further comment about that – it’s not productive,” Fauci told CNN in his interview.

This week, the COVID-19 related deaths in the US exceeded one million – the most for any country in the world. According to the data provided by the Johns Hopkins University Coronavirus Resource Center, 303 out of every 100,000 residents lost their lives to COVID-19 in the United States. The only other country with such high mortality rates in the world is Brazil, according to AFP.

The mysteries of the universe continue to fascinate scientists all around the world and one of the major points of contention over the years have been the placement of the galaxies all around the cosmos. While the existing theories suggest that there is no pattern when it comes to the various galaxies, a Vice report said that a new study shows that small galaxies create disk-like structures around their host galaxies which allows them to maintain a certain structure in their entirety.

Two researchers from the University of Nottingham have suggested that the smaller galaxies are creating ‘invisible walls’ out of a new class of particles called symmetrons and that is the maintaining the core structure of all the massive bodies existing in the universe. The study is mainly based on dark matter, but no previous study suggests this kind of behaviour from any dark matter.

The study states that the smaller galaxies are reacting to the gravitational pull of the bigger galaxies and as a result, that allows them to stay in a proper orbit. However, the new observations in the study can finally answer the question of why they sometimes create unusual orbits for themselves.

“We know that we need new particles because we have dark matter and dark energy and so we suspect that we’re going to need to add new particles to our standard model to account for those things,” Aneesh Naik, a research fellow at the University of Nottingham and an author of the study, told Vice.

The third session during WION’s 'Global Summit: Mission Peace' dealt mainly with the need for globalisation in a world plagued by trade wars. The speakers spoke about the adverse effects of a trade war and pointed out that globalisation can be the key to the growth of various nations.

The session was titled ‘Trade Wars: No Long-Term Winners’ and the speakers were -

Waseqa Ayesha Khan, Chairman, Parliamentary Standing Committee on the Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources, Bangladesh

Richie Santosdiaz, Senior strategic advisor for Emirati-owned The Corporate

The session was moderated by Palki Sharma Upadhyay, Managing Editor, WION.

Breen was quick to point out that there are only short-term winners when it comes to trade wars and urged the world to learn from past mistakes when inflation and scarcity ultimately led to war.

&nbsp;“Trade wars may have short term winners but, in the end, it is the people that you are trying to protect who will lose the most. It is not the end of globalisation. There are going to be blips all the way through as we have seen in relation to trade wars and in 1930s during the great depression, people were afraid that they were going to lose their jobs and so they put tariffs in place.”

“Those tariffs led to inflation and down the road, we had the World War II. So, we have to learn from the lessons of the past and I think diplomatic and economic relationships are important to end trade wars,” Breen explained while speaking about the deep impact of the ongoing trade wars.

Khan, who joined the discussion virtually, supported Breen and said that trade wars are not sustainable and said that trade war between the US and China will not impact Bangladesh.

“Trade wars are not sustainable. If you're taking about beneficiaries of trade war, the supply and demand will actually decide which country is the best producer of a certain commodity.”

“Bangladesh has always been competitive in the ready-made garment sector. The trade war between US and China may benefit somewhat but will not make a sea change in Bangladesh.”

When it came to globalisation, Lacey said that there is a realignment going on globally. He also explained that although most countries want to be self-sufficient, it is not easily achievable for most.

"There is just too much money to be made by intergrating markets," he opined.

WION Global Summit 2022: Experts emphasise on need for globalisation and an end to trade wars

Ukrainian deputy minister of foreign affairs Dmytro Senik said that the Russian invasion of Ukraine has far-reaching consequences for the entire world and warned that the ongoing crisis can cause serious problems for the global food security. He made the comments ahead of the third session titled ‘Trade wars: No long-term winners’ at the fifth edition of WION Global Summit in Dubai.

“The unprovoked attack from Russia on Ukraine will certainly have grave consequences for the entire international system. For the first time, since the end of World War II, we witness brutalities committed by Russia – the country that sits as a permanent member of the United Nations security council and was expected to be a peace guarantor, not a wrecker of the global architecture.”

“According to the IMF, the global economic recovery will slow down significantly due to the Russia invasion of Ukraine. The IMF not only downgraded growth prospects in Europe but warned that countries around the world may witness disruption in commodities market due to the invasion.”

“Russian invasion will cause problems for global food security. In total, Ukraine is the global food security contributor which feeds around 400 million people around the world. Ukrainian grain, corn and sunflower oil are traditional supplies to Europe, North Africa and Middle East as well as Asia. Looting of Ukrainian grain by Russian soldiers, blockade of shipments from Ukrainian routes as well as attacking the global shipping routes endangers global food security,” Senik explained.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) projected the world to grow by 3.6% in 2022 – a sharp fall from the 6.1% growth in 2021. Senik also accused Russia of deliberately targeting the public infrastructure in various Ukrainian cities as a result of their failure to capture Kyiv.

“While failing to occupy Kyiv and other major cities, Russia destroyed hundreds of Ukrainian hospitals, educational institutions, theatres, road infrastructure and residential buildings. More than 2000 missiles were fired to destroy the civilian infrastructure in Ukraine,” he said in his speech.

Senik was also all praise for WION for their coverage of the ongoing Ukraine-Russia conflict.

“Journalists from WION were among the first to visit Ukraine on the eve of the Russia aggression and stayed there during the most difficult days. I would like to thank Miss Palki Sharma Upadhyay for her courage demonstrated in Ukraine in those days,” he concluded.

Ukrainian deputy minister of foreign affairs Dmytro Senik said that the Russian invasion of Ukraine has far-reaching consequences for the entire world and warned that the ongoing crisis can cause serious problems for the global food security. He made the comments ahead of the third session titled ‘Trade wars: No long-term winners’ at the fifth edition of WION Global Summit in Dubai. “The unprovoked attack from Russia on Ukraine will certainly have grave consequences for the entire international system. For the first time, since the end of World War II, we witness brutalities committed by Russia – the country that sits as a permanent member of the United Nations security council and was expected to be a peace guarantor, not a wrecker of the global architecture.” Also read | LIVE | WION's Global Summit 2022 “According to the IMF, the global economic recovery will slow down significantly due to the Russia invasion of Ukraine. The IMF not only downgraded growth prospects in Europe but warned that countries around the world may witness disruption in commodities market due to the invasion.” “Russian invasion will cause problems for global food security. In total, Ukraine is the global food security contributor which feeds around 400 million people around the world. Ukrainian grain, corn and sunflower oil are traditional supplies to Europe, North Africa and Middle East as well as Asia. Looting of Ukrainian grain by Russian soldiers, blockade of shipments from Ukrainian routes as well as attacking the global shipping routes endangers global food security,” Senik explained. WATCH | WION Global Summit 2022: Keynote address by Ukraine Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Dmytro Senik The International Monetary Fund (IMF) projected the world to grow by 3.6% in 2022 – a sharp fall from the 6.1% growth in 2021. Senik also accused Russia of deliberately targeting the public infrastructure in various Ukrainian cities as a result of their failure to capture Kyiv. Also read | We are on the brink of next world war: Former Belarusian minister Astapenka “While failing to occupy Kyiv and other major cities, Russia destroyed hundreds of Ukrainian hospitals, educational institutions, theatres, road infrastructure and residential buildings. More than 2000 missiles were fired to destroy the civilian infrastructure in Ukraine,” he said in his speech. Senik was also all praise for WION for their coverage of the ongoing Ukraine-Russia conflict. “Journalists from WION were among the first to visit Ukraine on the eve of the Russia aggression and stayed there during the most difficult days. I would like to thank Miss Palki Sharma Upadhyay for her courage demonstrated in Ukraine in those days,” he concluded. WATCH WION LIVE HERE -

Russian invasion will have grave consequences for entire world, says Ukrainian minister Dmytro Senik

Imagine four months without any sunlight – That is the reality for Antarctica as it entered the ‘long night’ period with the final sunset on May 13. The isolation and extreme temperatures in the region may feel intimidating to most people but it also presents a special opportunity for astronauts to prepare for their space missions and practice living in some of the harder conditions on earth. With no sunlight and harsh conditions, these four months are perfect for their grueling training.

Although most places around the world experience four major seasons, there are only two – summer and winter – when it comes to Antarctica. The coldest continent in the earth experiences sunlight for six months while the other part of the year is spent in complete darkness.

Concordia, the remotest base in Antarctica, will once again be the base for the 12-member team from the European Space Agency (ESA) who will live and work in isolation. The mission for the crew will be to conduct various experiments to understand how the harsh conditions affect humans.

“From sleep studies to gut health measurements to mindful practices, the crew are poked and prodded to help researchers understand and overcome the challenges extreme environments, like space, pose to present and future explorers,” the ESA said on its official website.

According to Kyiv, the Russian military is looking to launch an attack on Donbas after facing heavy losses in Kharkiv and interior ministry adviser Vadim Denisenko went on to say that the Ukrainian forces have made so much progress in Kharkiv that they are currently near the Russian border.

Ukraine prepares for Russian military push in Donbas region amid ongoing crisis

Andre Russell's all-round brilliance theoretically kept Kolkata Knight Riders in contention for a play-off berth as they recorded a comprehensive 54- run victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad in a must-win IPL game on Saturday.

It was Russell's unbeaten 49 off 28 balls that took KKR to 177 for six in 20 overs after being down and out at 94 for 5.

In reply, SRH were never in the hunt as they huffed and puffed their way to 123 for 8 against a collective bowling effort from Shreyas Iyer's men with the flamboyant Jamaican finishing with best figures of 3 for 22.

Umesh Yadav (1/19 in 4 overs), Tim Southee (2/23 in 4 overs), Varun Chakravarthy (1/25 in 4 overs) and Sunil Narine (1/34 in 4 overs) -- all stuck to their respective game plans with near-perfect executions over after over.

KKR now have 12 points from 13 games with a net run-rate of +0.160 and moved to sixth place.

With Rajasthan Royals (14 from 12) and RCB (14 from 13 games) having chance to move up, even a victory is unlikely to be enough for Shah Rukh Khan owned franchise which played its 13th 'first XI' combination in as many games.

For Sunrisers, 10 points from 12 games with a dismal NRR of -0.270 means that even two big wins and 14 points might not be enough after five straight defeats.

While he is a sentimental favourite among Indian cricket lovers, a lot of SRH's poor batting show could be attributed to skipper Kane Williamson's nightmarish season that has yielded only 208 runs in 12 games at an average of less than 19 and a strike-rate of 92.85.

Williamson (9 off 17 balls) has been SRH's weakest link this season and his failure at the top of the order has been one of the biggest reasons for their slump.

It was an ordeal for Williamson till Russell bowled one on the stumps to end his misery. Rahul Tripathi (9 off 1 balls) also looked scratchy even as Abhishek Sharma (43 off 28 balls) attacked Sunil Narine, hitting him for two sixes.

It was Tim Southee's brilliant reflex return catch that ended Tripathi's innings.

At the halfway stage, SRH weren't in a very comfortable position at 66 for two and even the statistic of teams chasing (highest successful chase of 170) at the Gahunje Stadium didn't paint an altogether rosy picture.

Once Abhishek was dismissed by Varun Chakaravarthy (1/25) and Narine took a fine return catch to dismiss SRH's big hope Nicholas Pooran (2), there wasn't much resistance from the rest of the batters.

Earlier, Umran Malik was back in his groove after a few forgettable outings as he ran through KKR's top-order but Russell along with Sam Billings (34 off 29 balls) added 63 runs for the sixth wicket to give the total a semblance of respectability after KKR were in trouble at 94 for 5.

KKR added 58 runs in the last five overs, mainly due to Russell as he hit three sixes off three full-tosses bowled by off-break bowler Washington Sundar (0/40 in 4 overs).

Malik (3/33 in 4 overs), who had gone for 120-odd runs in his last 10 overs (across 3 games) and that too wicketless, was back in his element as he bowled fast and straight to get rid of Nitish Rana (26 off 16 balls), Ajinkya Rahane (28 off 23 balls) and skipper Shreyas Iyer (15 off 9 balls) in his first two overs to peg back KKR.

He did get good support from T Natarajan (1/43), who nailed the block-hole deliveries with perfection, getting rid of Rinku Singh (5).

Venkatesh Iyer's "second season blues" continued as he chopped one from Marco Jansen (1/30 in 4 overs) onto the stumps.

As far as Rahane is concerned, he has well past his IPL sell-by date and even three sixes couldn't hide the fact that he played a lot of dot balls and once he started cramping, it became even more difficult to rotate the strike.

Finally he was out when he slashed hard at a wide rising delivery and Shashank Singh at sweeper cover fence maintained perfect body balance in a side on position to latch on to the catch.

Russell and Billings then took the attack back to the opposition camp with some big blows after initial period of struggle.

While the Jamaican had three fours and four sixes to his name, Billings hit three fours and one maximum.

IPL 2022: Updated points table after Rajasthan Royals beat Lucknow Super Giants by 24 runs

Former England cricket team skipper Michael Vaughan picked Rajasthan Royals youngster Kuldeep Sen as the ‘debutant of the season’ for Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 as the cricketer from Madhya Pradesh has impressed everyone with his performances. Speaking on Cricbuzz, the former England international said that the other choice for him was Delhi Capitals all-rounder Rovman Powell but Kuldeep’s bowling performances in key situations tiled the scales in his favour.

"I could say Rovman Powell, but I am going to go with Kuldeep Sen of Rajasthan Royals. He has bowled the key overs. He bowled that over against Stoinis to get them over the line in his debut match. He has got eight wickets, bowls the key overs and has been a terrific find for Rajasthan.”

Powell has not bowled much for Delhi Capitals but he has scored 205 runs in 12 matches with an impressive strike rate of 161.42. The batting position does not allow him to play a huge number of deliveries but the West Indies all-rounder was able to play couple of match-winning knocks.

Speaking on Cricbuzz, the former England international said that the other choice for him was Delhi Capitals all-rounder Rovman Powell but Kuldeep’s bowling performances in key situations tiled the scales in his favour. "I could say Rovman Powell, but I am going to go with Kuldeep Sen of Rajasthan Royals. He has bowled the key overs. He bowled that over against Stoinis to get them over the line in his debut match. He has got eight wickets, bowls the key overs and has been a terrific find for Rajasthan.” Also read | Wriddhiman Saha's unbeaten 67 gives GT a comfortable seven-wicket win over CSK Kuldeep made his debut in the match against Lucknow Super Giants on April 10 and he instantly made a name for himself by defending 15 runs in the final over against Marcus Stoinis.

Powell has not bowled much for Delhi Capitals but he has scored 205 runs in 12 matches with an impressive strike rate of 161.42.
