McCullum Clears the Air on Stokes Relationship England head coach Brendon McCullum has rejected talk of tension with captain Ben Stokes. He said they remain close friends and do not understand where the rumours started. McCullum explained that he spoke directly with Stokes before the third Test against New Zealand. He told him that their relationship has not changed and asked where the speculation came from. Stokes said he had no idea. Return After Disciplinary Absence Stokes missed the second Test during an internal investigation linked to a late night curfew breach after England’s win at Lord’s. Fast bowler Gus Atkinson also missed that match. Both players were present when a member of team security was struck during an incident involving a rugby player at a London nightclub. The England management cleared both players to return for the deciding match, with Stokes resuming captaincy duties. Squad Changes for the Decider England have reshaped the team again for the third Test against New Zealand. Stokes returns to lead the side. Shoaib Bashir and wicketkeeper Jamie Smith are also back in the lineup. Young batter Emilio Gay joins the XI, while experienced names such as Joe Root and Harry Brook remain central to the batting order. The pace attack includes Jofra Archer and Josh Tongue, with Gus Atkinson also returning. Players Left Out Several players miss out on selection this time. James Rew, Jordan Cox, Matthew Fisher, and Sonny Baker have been dropped from the squad. Ollie Robinson impressed earlier in the series but is not selected despite being fit. England XI for the Third Test Ben Duckett, Emilio Gay, Jacob Bethell, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Jamie Smith, Ben Stokes captain, Gus Atkinson, Jofra Archer, Josh Tongue, Shoaib Bashir

Survivor attacked inside her home A disturbing sexual assault in a village in Bihar has triggered nationwide concern. A 28 year old mother of four was attacked inside her home during the night of 11 June in Begusarai district. The survivor said she was in an outdoor toilet area when a group of men forced their way in. The toilet had no proper door and was covered only with a curtain. She reported that five men attacked her, tied her hands, gagged her, and stripped her. She also said they used sharp objects during the assault and injured her chest when she resisted. Family response and discovery The woman said her husband first thought her sounds were from an animal. When he became suspicious, he tried to check on her. The house had been locked from the outside. A neighbour later helped open the door. The family then found her in a critical condition and immediately raised alarm. Medical confirmation and police action Medical authorities confirmed that the survivor had been sexually assaulted and treated her injuries. Items recovered from her account included a bullet casing, which she said was used during the attack. Police have named five suspects in the case, including three identified individuals and two unknown persons. Two suspects have been arrested so far. A special investigation team has been formed to track the remaining accused. Officials also stated that some of the suspects have prior criminal records. Legal provisions related to gang rape have been applied. Concerns over response and support The survivor said she received delayed help from both police and medical services after the incident. Her account has added to ongoing concerns about how sexual violence cases are handled, especially in rural and economically weaker regions. Activists say such cases often highlight gaps in safety, quick response systems, and survivor support in smaller towns and villages.

Dettol Apologises After China Advertisement Backlash Over Gender Portrayal 1. What the Advertisement Showed British hygiene brand Dettol faced criticism after releasing a long promotional video in China. The ad was styled like a short drama and promoted a disinfectant product. In the storyline, a man searches for a partner he describes as “clean” and “not connected to other men.” Later, the narrative shifts when his girlfriend challenges his thinking and ends the relationship. The brand product is then linked to the idea of removing “toxic men,” compared in the video to bacteria. 2. Why It Triggered Backlash The campaign quickly spread across Chinese social media, where many viewers reacted negatively. Some users said the message objectified women and reinforced harmful ideas about purity and relationships. Others argued the comparison between human relationships and bacteria was inappropriate and offensive. Calls for a boycott of Dettol products also appeared online. The discussion took place mainly on platforms similar to X in China, where users described the advertisement as confusing and poorly executed. 3. Dettol’s Response Dettol issued an apology after the backlash grew. The company said the intention was to challenge sexist behavior, but the message was misunderstood and misrepresented once clips circulated online. The brand admitted responsibility for weaknesses in how the content was created and reviewed. It also said it would improve its internal approval process for future campaigns. Dettol added that its core mission is to support hygiene and safety, but also to respect dignity and equality for all people. The company is owned by Reckitt, which has previously faced scrutiny in China over similar advertising content. 4. Wider Context and Previous Issues This is not the first time Dettol has faced criticism in the Chinese market. A previous advertisement also drew backlash for its portrayal of women and cleanliness, which led to public complaints online. Marketing experts noted that the latest campaign highlights the risks brands face when using sensitive social themes in advertising, especially when messaging can be interpreted in different ways across cultures.

Life Sentence Handed to Activist in Gwadar Rally Case A Pakistani anti enforced disappearance campaigner, Mahrang Baloch, has been sentenced to life in prison in connection with the killing of a paramilitary soldier during a protest in 2024. She led the Balochistan Unity Committee and was convicted alongside fellow activist Sibghatullah. The court also imposed a fine of 200,000 Pakistani rupees, payable to the victim’s family. What Happened at the Gwadar Protest Prosecutors say the case relates to a rally held in Gwadar where tensions escalated between protesters and security forces. Authorities claim Mahrang Baloch delivered a highly charged speech that encouraged the crowd. According to a security official, a group of protesters attacked a vehicle carrying paramilitary personnel with sticks and stones. During the chaos, soldier Shabbir Ahmed became separated from his unit and was killed. The anti terrorism court in Quetta ruled that both activists were part of an unlawful gathering and shared responsibility for the incident. Trial Controversy and Defence Response The case has sparked strong criticism from human rights groups. The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan urged a full review of the judgment and raised concerns about fairness in the trial process. Mahrang Baloch and Sibghatullah boycotted the proceedings. Their legal team said they were denied proper legal rights and could not cross examine witnesses in a fair manner. They also claimed key testimonies were given through video link without full transparency. Supporters described the court as unfair and said the process lacked openness. On the other hand, a spokesperson for the Balochistan government said the prosecution had strong evidence and insisted the case was not politically motivated. Background of Mahrang Baloch Mahrang Baloch is widely known for her activism against enforced disappearances in Balochistan, a region affected by long standing unrest. Her activism began after her father was allegedly detained by security personnel in 2009 and later found dead with signs of torture. In 2023, she led a long march covering about 1,000 miles toward Islamabad, demanding justice for missing persons and their families. She was listed among influential global women in 2024 for her human rights work. Her organisation continues to reject claims of links with armed groups and says it focuses on peaceful rights based advocacy.
