As Texas reels under floods, Shakira donates San Antonio concert proceeds to relief fund for affected families
As Texas continues to reel from deadly flash floods, Colombian singer Shakira announced she will donate proceeds from her San Antonio concert to Catholic Charities of San Antonio to support disaster relief for affected families. In a post on the social media platform X, Shakira, 48, who's been traveling throughout North America on her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, said, "Dear San Antonio, our hearts and prayers are with those affected by the flood in central Texas," Shakira wrote in an X post. "We are donating a portion of tonight's show proceeds to Catholic Charities of San Antonio, who are providing disaster relief to the families impacted," she said. — shakira (@shakira) by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pierce Brosnan's Wife Lost 120 Pounds - This Is Her Now Undo The Grammy-winning singer also urged her fans to step forward and contribute to relief efforts by donating to the humanitarian aid organization. "Your help is important and appreciated," she further stated. Flash floods wreaked havoc across central Texas after unrelenting rainfall on Thursday, July 3, and Friday, July 4, 2025, triggered the ravaging flooding. Live Events The death toll from catastrophic floods that wreaked havoc across central Texas after unrelenting rainfall on Thursday, July 3, and Friday, July 4, 2025, reached at least 78 on Sunday, July 6, 2025, including 28 children, as the search for girls missing from a summer camp continued and fears of more flooding prompted evacuations of volunteer responders. The flooding occurred after the nearby Guadalupe River broke its banks after torrential rain fell in the central Texas area on Friday, the U.S. Independence Day holiday. Larry Leitha, sheriff of Kerr County in Texas Hill Country, said 68 people had died in flooding in his county, the epicenter of the flooding, among them 28 children, Reuters reported. Texas Governor Greg Abbott, speaking at a press conference on Sunday afternoon, said another 10 had died elsewhere in Texas and confirmed 41 were missing. President Donald Trump sent his condolences to the victims and said he would probably visit the area on Friday. His administration had been in touch with Abbott, he added. "It's a horrible thing that took place, absolutely horrible. So we say, God bless all of the people that have gone through so much, and God bless, God bless the state of Texas," he told reporters as he left New Jersey.

India-England Test: Rain might delay start but clear weather after lunch
Birmingham woke to rain on Sunday, the final day of the India-England fifth day. The BBC weather forecast said that light showers were expected till noon, delaying the start of the game. However after lunch the weather was said to be relatively clear and normal service would resume at Edgbaston. For the later part of the day, the Test is expected to be played under cloudy or sunny skies. Needing 536-runs to win on the final day, England's chances of winning the Test are virtually non-existent. On the face of it, the rain interruption might seem to be favouring the home team but that is not the case. The rainy start to the day will help the Indian pacers when the play commences. FOLLOW | INDIA VS ENGLAND 2ND TEST DAY 5 LIVE UPDATES It will come in handy as they look to take 7 wickets to win the game. Moisture in the air and the sweating on the pitch, after the covers are taken off, will add some life to the pitch. As has been the pattern of play in this series, the bowlers are most effective when the ball is new. Having already bowled 16 overs, India still can expect the ball to swing and seam for an hour or so. Bowling under cloud cover and moisture in the air, pacers Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj can fancy their chances of getting the wickets of overnight England batsman Harry Brook and Ollie Pope early. England don't bat too deep as was evident from the first innings. Wicket-keeper Jamie Smith, and to some extent Chris Woakes, can be expected to score runs or stick around. But after the long tail starts. Though, there is one favour that the rain can do to England. For a team that insist they always play to win, the time lost because of rain would give them an excuse to play out a draw.
