When cricket comes under State oversight
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will likely come under the purview of the National Sports Governance Bill, something that most people involved in managing India's most popular sport knew was inevitable once cricket became part of the Olympic movement. If this happens — and BCCI has time and again shown the ability to steer its own course — BCCI, which has long fought to stay autonomous, will come under government oversight, affecting its elections, office-bearer eligibility, and legal jurisdiction. It will also bring world cricket's most powerful federation under the RTI Act and set new age/tenure caps. All of these are welcome changes . But there is the unanswered question of how this will impact the workings of the world's richest cricket body, which unlike all the other National Sports Federations (NSFs) in the country, doesn't depend on government grants. Sure, BCCI will remain an autonomous body like all other NSFs but disputes, if any, will also come to the proposed National Sports Tribunal, which will become the dispute resolution body for sports matters ranging from elections to selection. Selection, for example, is always a subjective issue. In the past, people had no option but to buckle down and do better. Now, some might choose to go to the tribunal. Will government oversight interfere with the processes that have allowed the BCCI to dominate world cricket? Sporting federations have often been at loggerheads with the government and while the law is expected to help streamline things, it remains to be seen how the right balance between autonomy of BCCI and State oversight can be achieved.

Halle Bailey Requests Sole Custody of Son After DDG's Alleged Attacks
Originally appeared on E! Online Warning: This story discusses allegations of domestic violence and emotional abuse. Halle Bailey has taken steps to protect her son Halo. In addition to the temporary domestic violence restraining order she was granted against her ex DDG (real name Daryl Dwayne Granberry Jr.) on May 13, the Little Mermaid actress was also given sole physical and legal custody of the pair's 16-month-old until a June 4 court hearing, according to documents obtained by E! News. She has requested to have full legal and physical custody of their son moving forward. Given the temporary court order, DDG must keep at least 100 yards away from both Halle and Halo, including her home and vehicle, and is also barred from personally contacting the Color Purple actress. Additionally, the 'Moonwalking in Calabasas' rapper is not allowed any visitation with Halo until 'further order of the court.' Halle—whose relationship with DDG ended in October after two years of dating—was also granted an order to prevent child abduction due to the 'Impatient' rapper's alleged history of physically and verbally abusing her, taking Halo without her permission and not cooperating with co-parenting. Due to the approved order, DDG 'must not apply for passports or other documents that can be used for travel.' More from E!

Get to Know Alex Fine Amid Sean "Diddy" Combs' Sex Trafficking Trial E! News has reached out to DDG's rep for comment and has not yet heard back. In Halle's restraining order and custody request, she described multiple alleged altercations with DDG. In one alleged dispute from January, she said she was helping to buckle Halo into the 'I'm Geekin' rapper's car when he slammed her face against the steering wheel, leaving her with bruises on her arm and a chipped tooth, according to the docs, which included photos of the injuries. 'I then stopped fighting back as I was in a lot of pain,' she wrote in the order, adding elsewhere, 'Darryl lacks an understanding of how his actions impact Halo. He is often verbally abusive towards me in front of Halo.' In other altercations, Halle detailed receiving a 'threatening text' from DDG in March after he allegedly entered her home while she wasn't there. Days later, he allegedly locked the actress out of her house, stole her phone and drove away before throwing it out of his car window. Halle and DDG are set to appear in court on June 4.

Has Trump's Tariff Fight Passed Its Peak?
Bulls see a Trump pivot coming On earnings calls and in public appearances, business leaders have found their voice against President Trump's trade war. Even Elon Musk isn't holding back. They join restive investors who — as shown by market rallies after every seeming backtrack on tariffs — are growing more convinced that the White House will ease off its protectionist trade threats rather than risk a big blow to the economy and Americans' stock portfolios. The latest: The global relief rally lost some steam on Thursday morning. But a belief that a tariff walk back is coming has gathered strength. Stocks rallied around the world on Wednesday, helped by a report by The Financial Times that Trump may buckle on some auto tariffs, and one in The Wall Street Journal that duties on Chinese goods could be cut drastically. (That said, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent sought to temper expectations on how far the administration would go.) Speaking of relief, Jay Powell, the Fed chair whom Trump has repeatedly attacked for not lowering interest rates fast enough, has powerful advocates in the administration. They include Bessent and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who helped persuade Trump not to try to fire Powell, avoiding further market turmoil and a protracted legal fight, The Journal reports.

China on increased Trump tariffs: US must show ‘respect' for any talks
Leaders in Beijing say they will not buckle under President Trump's heightened tariffs on Chinese imports, signaling a willingness to escalate the trade war if potential negotiations are not done with 'respect.' The Trump administration issued a 90-day pause on tariffs for most foreign trading partners on Wednesday, with the exception of China. Instead, Trump criticized the Chinese government for imposing retaliatory measures on the U.S. after the White House's latest tariffs went into effect. In return, the president increased import taxes on China to 125 percent. Despite vowing to keep up the fight, China's Foreign Ministry on Thursday said the country is open to talks to mitigate the tariffs but noted that any negotiations must be done with a manner of 'respect' for both parties. 'If the U.S. side really wants to talk it should show an attitude of equality, respect and reciprocity,' ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said at his daily press briefing, according to a translation from Reuters. Last week, Trump unveiled his 'Liberation Day' tariffs on most foreign trading partners, imposing a 10 percent baseline tax on imported goods paired with higher reciprocal taxes for many countries. Beijing was slapped with an additional 34 percent tariff on goods imported into the U.S., bringing the total at the time up to 54 percent. After the Chinese Ministry of Commerce issued a reciprocal 34 percent tax on U.S. goods, the Trump administration levied an additional 50 percent import tax on the nation — raising the tariffs to 104 percent. China responded in kind with 50 percent retaliatory measures, increasing the duties on American-made goods to 84 percent. The back-and-forth actions led to Trump's decision to issue other trading partners a 3-month reprieve to encourage negotiation, notably leaving China out of the deal. 'If the United States ignores the interest of the two countries and the international community and insists on fighting a tariff war and a trade war, China will certainly accompany it to the end,' Jin said Thursday. China has turned to the European Union with hopes of expanding their trade partnership with the 27 member countries, as challenges persist between the two largest economies in the world. 'China is willing to work with the EU to jointly implement the important consensus reached by the leaders of China and the EU, strengthen communication and exchanges, and deepen China-EU trade, investment and industrial cooperation,' the Xinhua News Agency reported. This came before the European Commission announced on Thursday that it too would halt countermeasures on the U.S. for 90 days, opening up the door for compromise. Meanwhile, Mao Ning, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs poked fun at Trump's uptick in trade taxes on a nation responsible for producing some of his 'Make America Great Again (MAGA)' gear. On Thursday, Ning posted a cluster of MAGA hats on social platform X with tags that read 'Made in China' in addition to a sales tag that featured a $27 price hike. Shortly before that post, she shared a video of Mao Zendong, who founded the People's Republic of China, railing against former Presidents Truman and Eisenhower during the Korean War. 'We are Chinese. We are not afraid of provocations. We don't back down,' Ning wrote in the caption drawing from the country's history of resistance. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
