Norwegian Casper Ruud harnessed his mighty forehand to reach his second Grand Slam final this year by beating Russian Karen Khachanov 7-6(5) 6-2 5-7 6-2 at the U.S. Open, keeping alive his hopes of reaching the top of the world rankings.

The first Norwegian man to reach the final at Flushing Meadows won an extraordinary 55-shot rally to close the first-set tie break on his way to victory at Arthur Ashe Stadium.

The fifth seed next faces either home hope Frances Tiafoe or third seed Carlos Alcaraz of Spain in the final.

"This match is probably the biggest match for both of our careers," said Ruud, who was left humbled when he lost in straight sets to Rafa Nadal in June's Roland Garros final.

"You want to take care of the opportunities you have and I was able to do that today."

The 23-year-old Ruud is known for his poise on clay but was equally effective on New York's hard courts, winning 14 straight points to build a 5-1 lead in a near-flawless second set.

His form deteriorated in the third, where he racked up 11 unforced errors and handed Khachanov the break on set point.

However, Ruud bounced back to convert breaks on chances in the third and fifth game of the fourth set and clinched the contest with a forehand winner, one of 20 across the match.

It took every ounce of his fitness - and a brave face - to survive the affair, as Ruud told reporters his legs were quaking from the marathon first-set point.

"I tried to not show Karen that I'm tired because I don't want him to think that, 'This is tiring for Casper'," he said.

"There is acting in sports. Tennis especially. It's such a mental and psychological game that any small detail can help you win the match."

Ruud would make the leap from world number seven to number one if he hoists the trophy on Sunday or if Tiafoe beats Alcaraz in their semi-final later on Friday, according to the ATP.

Khachanov, who rose to a terrific level to upset Australian Nick Kyrgios in a five-set quarter-final thriller, said he was pleased to notch a few great wins in New York but was utterly exhausted from the gruelling slate of competitors.

"As the tournament (finishes), I feel really, really kind of destroyed in a way, really tired. All the energy went down. We're almost three weeks in New York, preparing the week before," he told reporters.

"I was thinking and dreaming obviously to lift the trophy."

India can emerge as a major manufacturing centre for iPhones in the near future. The Tata group is currently in talks with Wistron Corp to form a partnership for manufacturing iPhones in India. Bloomberg reported that Tata group wants to acquire a share in the Taiwanese company and use the manufacturing power to boost the iPhone production.

Apple Inc are looking to start their production in the country very soon. According to the company announcements, the first batch of products is expected by next quarter after Apple chose India as their new manufacturing choice in Asia in order to stop their reliance on China after the pandemic.&nbsp;

The Economic Times reported that the target for the company is to produce the first batch of iPhones in India by December this year at the Foxconn factory near Chennai.

While the average shipments of iPhones to India is somewhere near 370,000 units, experts believe that the manufacturing plant can result in India getting around 570,000 units in 2022.

The other good news for Indian fans of the iPhone is that the waiting time for the product can also go down significantly as Apple decreased it from 10-12 months to six months. According to Reuters, it can come down to 2-3 months in the near future once the manufacturing plant is functional.

Apple recently launched four new models as part of the iPhone 14 series and the price of the high-end phones currently lies between $1,002 and $1775.

A new challenge is here on TikTok, and it is not good news for car owners in the United States. A number of cars have been stolen all around the country following a dangerous challenge on the social media app that asks teenagers to steal a specific type of cars using just a USB cord.

According to the police, the main target of the challenge are 2010-2021 Kia and Hyundai cars which still use mechanical keys and not electronic systems. It makes the cars more vulnerable to theft and the challenge asks the users on the app to take advantage of that and steal it using minimal tools.

In Los Angeles, the theft of Kia and Hyundai cars has gone up by almost 85 per cent in the last year while in parts of Florida, these cars account for around one third of all stolen cars. A similar trend can also be seen in Chicago and many other places in the country, CNBC reported.

“In our jurisdiction alone, [thefts of certain models are] up over 800% in the last month,” Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart told CNBC. “We see no end in sight.”

“The viral nature of how this has taken off on social media — it’s accelerated like we’ve never seen. The perpetrators are doing it in 20 to 30 seconds. It literally is as old-fashioned as you can imagine.”

The thieves are taking videos of all their acts and posting on TikTok using the hashtag “Kia Boys”. It has become a major trend over time and right now, the hashtag has around 33 million views.

Morning news brief: Tributes pour in after Queen Elizabeth II's death, and more

The death of Queen Elizabeth II at the age of 96 was immediately followed by the announcement of her eldest son – Charles – succeeding her. King Charles III was the heir apparent since the age of three and a formal proclamation of his ascension will be made at a council at St James’ Palace.

However, a formal coronation may not feature in the immediate plans of the British royal family. In case of Queen Elizabeth II herself, it took around 16 months since she became queen to organise the event which was attended by major dignitaries and major leaders from all parts of the world.

The first thing that will happen after the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II is the meeting of the privy council – the people advising monarchs on matters of the state. According to The Guardian, it generally comprises of mayors, House of Lords and high commissioners of Commonwealth nations.

If the royal family decides to follow all of the old traditions, the first public announcement of King Charles III’s ascension will be made outdoors in the presence of the earl marshal and two serjeants-at-arms. Similar ceremonies will also take place at Edinburgh, York and the Windsor Palace.

King Charles III is expected to take an oath to preserve the Church of Scotland. He will also be making a similar oath regarding the Church of England but that takes place in the parliament.

The Guardian further reported that a carriage procession will be carried out after the official proclamation, and it will cover all major parts of London with troops standing on both sides.

The three main sites that the procession will visit are – Royal Exchange, the statue of King Charles I which is considered to the centre of the city, and Chancery Lane. The procession is expected to pass through Temple Bar – the ancient entrance to the city – where he will meet the mayor of London.

On entering the city, the procession is also expected to be greeted with gun salutes from Hyde Park and the Tower of London.

Explainer: What lies ahead for King Charles III after Queen Elizabeth II's death

United States prosecutors said on Thursday that former president Donald Trump may not have returned all the classified documents in his possession despite FBI raiding his Mar-a-Lago residence on August 8. They said that it is possible that there are more such documents in other places owned by Trump and went on to call it a “a potential national security risk that needs investigation”.

The remarks were made in the latest filing from the Department of Justice in front of District Judge Aileen Cannon who ordered a “special master” to be appointed in order to impartially examine the documents found during the raid – a move that the DOJ has opposed from the very beginning.

The DOJ maintained their stance that Trump has removed a number of documents from the White House after his term ended and asked for permission to examine all of the 11,000 documents.

"This motion is limited to ... the seized classified records because those aspects of the order will cause the most immediate and serious harms to the government and the public," the filing stated.

In the detailed list of items found during the raid, the FBI listed 48 empty folders which were labelled “classified” and 42 which were “meant to be returned to either a staff secretary or military aide”.

While the DOJ was not certain, they hinted that more documents can be missing from the folders.

"Without a stay, the government and the public will also suffer irreparable harm from the undue delay to the criminal investigation," prosecutors wrote in the filing according to Reuters.

"The injunction against using classified records in the criminal investigation could impede efforts to identify the existence of any additional classified records that are not being properly stored - which itself presents the potential for ongoing risk to national security," they added.

Queen Elizabeth II, the longest reigning monarch in British history, passed away at the age of 96 on Thursday. She became the queen in 1953 after the death of her father – King George VI – and since then, she has played a massive role in the history of the country and in many ways – the world.

However, the path of her ascension was filled with unexpected circumstances and surprises.

King George VI was the second in line for the throne after his elder brother King Edward VIII back in the 1930s. However, Edward decided to abdicate the throne according to rules and protocols of the royal family as he wanted to marry twice-divorced Wallis Spencer, who was socially and politically unacceptable as a prospective British queen&nbsp;– in 1936.

The rule was not smooth for King George VI as he had to guide the country through the second World War and a number of political tensions in the United Kingdom. He finally died of coronary thrombosis in 1952 after suffering from lung cancer and various other illnesses for quite some time.

Elizabeth, who was 25 years old at that time, was visiting Kenya along her husband Prince Philip.

“It was not until early in the afternoon that Philip got the news (by telephone from a local newspaper) that changed their lives. He sent an equerry to call London for confirmation, then gently led his wife down to the river’s edge and told her that her father was dead. The Queen returned to the lodge on her husband’s arm, shaken but in full command of herself,” the TIME reported.

Queen Elizabeth II: How unexpected circumstances led to her coronation at 25 in 1952

The floods in Pakistan have already done a lot of damage and it currently poses a major threat to the famous archaeological site of&nbsp;Mohenjo-Daro which dates&nbsp;back almost 4,500 years. The ruins, which are situated in the Sindh province, have already seen some damage from the floods in nearby regions and any more rainfall can result in the structures collapsing due to the waterlogging around the site.&nbsp;

Ahsan Abbasi, the site’s curator, told Associated Press that they are trying their best to protect the site but a few walls have already been damaged by the record amounts of rain. “Several big walls which were built nearly 5,000 years ago have collapsed because of the monsoon rains,” he said.&nbsp;

The ruins, which were first found in 1922, are considered to be one of the earliest urban settlements in South Asia and most experts believe that it existed at the time of ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia.&nbsp;

The province of Sindh, along with the river Indus, has been one of the worst affected areas in Pakistan due to the floods and a huge amount of people have been displaced as a reason. Abbasi said that the ruins will need a lot of repair work once the situation gets better but did not provide an estimated cost.&nbsp;

Along with the big walls on the outside, the walls separating the various rooms and also the legendary “Buddhist Stupa” were also damaged by the rain, and according to Abbasi, a team of researchers and archaeologists will be visiting the site next month to supervise the renovation process.&nbsp;
