India will secure a series victory with a win against England in the fourth Test beginning in Ranchi on Friday but they must do so without their pace spearhead against a touring side looking to uphold their aggressive style of play. A 2-1 cushion in the five-match series has allowed India to rest Jasprit Bumrah, the leading wicket-taker of the series, for the match to manage his workload. With Mohammed Shami missing the series with an ankle injury, the onus is now on Mohammed Siraj to lead India’s pace attack. Akash Deep is expected to make his test debut as…

With new technology, insights and tools at hands, it is the best time to be a marketer. That is according to experts who were speaking at the Tribe summit in Dubai on Thursday. “We are no longer marketing to consumers,” said Annie Arsane, Head of Business Marketing, Middle East, Turkey, Africa and Pakistan at TikTok. “They are prosumers. They are consumers but also content producers. They are giving us the feedback on what they want. We don’t need to do focus groups any more. Everything we want to know about our consumers is on social media. There isn’t a better…

Israeli strikes killed at least 48 people in southern and central Gaza overnight, half of them women and children, health officials said on Thursday, as European foreign ministers and UN agencies called for a ceasefire, with alarm rising over the worsening humanitarian crisis and potential starvation in the territory. Tensions were also rising in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, where three Palestinian gunmen on Thursday opened fire on morning traffic at a highway checkpoint, killing one person and wounding five others, Israeli police said. A member of Israel’s War Cabinet said late on Wednesday that new attempts are underway to reach…

Trauma has long been associated with life-altering events — the kind that shake one’s very foundation and leave indelible scars on the mind, body, and soul. Yet, as our understanding of mental health continues to evolve, a quieter realisation is taking root: trauma is not always a singular, seismic event. It can manifest as a series of smaller, seemingly innocuous occurrences that accumulate over time, stealthily eroding our sense of self and well-being. Counselling psychologist, Tanya Dharamshi, The Raymee Grief Centre and community support services lead at the Lighthouse Arabia, Dubai, explains the ways in which every day experiences can…

Very soon, people will no longer be using devices. Instead they will have an earphone that will be control all their devices ranging from their refrigerators to their cars. This will be how the technology-driven future will look like, according to experts at the Tribe 2024 conference on Thursday. “Devices will be embedded into everything around you,” said Giacomo Ziani, senior director of group marketing and communication at G42. “The need to interact with a device that we hold in our hands is disappearing. Phones are going to be gone in a matter of few years. That means everything we…

Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis will escalate their attacks on ships in the Red Sea and other waters and has introduced “submarine weapons”, in continued solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza war, the group’s leader said on Thursday. Iran-aligned Houthi militants in Yemen have launched repeated drone and missile strikes in the Red Sea, Bab Al Mandab Strait and Gulf of Aden since November in support of Palestinians, as the Israel-Hamas war continues and the Gaza death toll reaches almost 30,000. “Operations in the Red and Arabian Seas, Bab Al Mandab Strait, and the Gulf of Aden are continuing, escalating, and effective,”…

Google said on Thursday it’s temporarily stopping its Gemini artificial intelligence chatbot from generating images of people a day after apologising for “inaccuracies” in historical depictions that it was creating. Gemini users this week posted screenshots on social media of historically white-dominated scenes with racially diverse characters that they say it generated, leading critics to raise questions about whether the company is over-correcting for the risk of racial bias in its AI model. “We’re already working to address recent issues with Gemini’s image generation feature,” Google said in a post on the social media platform X. “While we do this,…
