Amazon job cuts
Amaozn has been trimming its workforce, with the latest round of layoffs at Amazon Web Services (AWS). At least several hundred employees were fired from the cloud computing division earlier this month, according to Reuters. The layoffs are said to impact multiple teams within AWS. One of the groups affected is known as "specialists", a team that works closely with customers to develop new product ideas and support the sales of existing AWS services. These layoffs came just over a month after Amazon reduced headcount in its books business, including at its Goodreads review platform and Kindle operations. Before that, reductions were made in the company's devices and services division, its Wondery podcast unit, and among staff in retail stores and corporate communications.
Meanwhile, AWS has shut down its AI lab in Shanghai, reported Financial Times, amid tensions between Washington and Beijing.
Last month, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy drew criticism for his warning to employees that artificial intelligence will lead to more job cuts in the coming years, particularly among the company's white-collar roles. In a memo dated June 17, Jassy told staff that as Amazon expands its use of AI agents and generative AI technologies, it will need fewer people to perform many existing corporate jobs.
Amaozn has started to lean heavily on AI. The company has made it mandatory for employees in several units, including smart home security brands Ring and Blink, to demonstrate their use of AI when applying for promotions, Business Insider reported last week.

Pakistan cuts mobile data in Balochistan to disrupt militant coordination
Pakistan has suspended cell phone data services for three weeks in the restive southwestern province of Balochistan in a bid to block communications among separatist insurgents behind a surge in recent attacks, an official and the government said. Officials said there are 8.5 million cell phone subscribers in Balochistan, Pakistan's largest province by size, which borders Afghanistan and Iran.(REUTERS) Separatist militants demanding a bigger share of profits from the resources of the mineral-rich province have stepped up attacks in recent months, particularly on Pakistan's military, which has launched an intelligence-based offensive against them. In an order on Wednesday seen by Reuters, the government said the services would be suspended until the end of the month because of the law and order situation in the province, home to key Chinese Belt and Road projects. "The service has been suspended because they (militants) use it for coordination and sharing information," Shahid Rind, a spokesperson for the provincial government, said on Friday. Officials said there are 8.5 million cell phone subscribers in Balochistan, Pakistan's largest province by size, which borders Afghanistan and Iran. But it is thinly populated, with just 15 million from a national population of 240 million. The news follows Pakistan's ban on road travel to Iran late last month, citing security threats. The insurgency by the separatists, who accuse Pakistan's government of depriving them of their share in regional resources, has roiled the province for decades. They primarily attack Pakistani military or Chinese nationals and their interests, but have recently started targeting senior army officers. The military said an officer and two soldiers were killed in a roadside blast set off by the militants on Tuesday. The attack targeting a vehicle was claimed by the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), the strongest of the area's insurgent groups, which has also claimed responsibility for several attacks on senior officers in recent weeks. The region is home to the Gwadar Port, built by Beijing as part of a $65-billion investment in Pakistan in the Belt and Road programme designed to expand China's global reach. Islamabad accuses arch-rival India of funding and backing the insurgents in a bid to stoke instability, as Pakistan seeks international investments in the region, a charge New Delhi denies. In March, the BLA blew up a railway track and took hostage more than 400 train passengers in an attack that killed 31, including 23 soldiers.

IPL player trade and transfer: Full list of biggest deals in Indian Premier League history
The Indian Premier League (IPL) player trade deals and transfers have always spurred interest and curiosity, for the logic and reasoning behind certain player movements from franchises may not always find sound backing from the team's fan base. Throughout the course of the last 16 years, the IPL has seen several player trades and transfers as part of player-to-player swap deals that has impacted the involved franchises heavily the following season. Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson has now dominated the trade talks post the IPL 2025 season. The Indian Express had reported that it has been learnt that the India wicketkeeper-batter has indeed expressed his interest to the Royals to leave the franchise before the 2026 edition. Samson's potential move could indeed further shake up the IPL trade dynamics and rank among the biggest trades in IPL history, involving an Indian player alongside Hardik Pandya's stunning homecoming in 2024 from the Gujarat Titans to Mumbai Indians in a Rs 15 crore deal. Former India cricketers Zaheer Khan, Robin Uthappa, Ashish Nehra and Shikhar Dhawan were involved in the first major IPL trade deals in 2009. Zaheer and Uthappa were involved in a swap deal between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Mumbai Indians, with the latter moving to the RCB camp. Meanwhile, Dhawan moved from MI to Delhi Daredevils in exchange for Nehra's services. Samson's rumoured move has been watched with interest by the Chennai Super Kings, although at least one more team would be interested in initiating such a move.
