Time of India10 hours ago
ESPN announced a partnership with WWE, including the streaming rights to WrestleMania, on the heels of an agreement with the NFL. In a deal announced Wednesday, ESPN becomes the U.S. domestic home for WWE Premium Live Events. WrestleMania will be part of ESPN's direct-to-consumer streaming service starting in 2026. ESPN is expected to launch its direct-to-consumer service before the end of September. The service would give consumers access to all ESPN programs and networks for $29.99 per month.
This comes after WWE moved 'Raw' weekly live stream from Comcast's USA Network to Netflix.

What is Currys' ‘Mind the Grab' Campaign and how a purple line plans to tackle phone theft on London streets

Londoners are being urged to keep away from the edge of pavements and hide their phones as part of a new anti-theft campaign . UK's largest tech retailer, Currys , has teamed up with Westminster Council , the Metropolitan Police , and charity Crimestoppers to launch the 'Mind the Grab' initiative. The campaign features purple lines painted along Oxford Street, one of the capital's busiest shopping areas.

What is Curry's Mind the Grab? This new safety campaign, called "Mind the Grab" on London's Oxford Street, is to tackle the rising cases of phone theft. In partnership with Westminster Council, the Metropolitan Police, and Crimestoppers, Curry's campaign features purple pavement lines near the edge of footpaths to remind people to step back from the kerb and keep their phones hidden. The initiative is inspired by the London Underground's 'Mind the Gap' markings and aims to prevent thieves, often on mopeds or e-bikes, from snatching phones out of pedestrians' hands. Live Events The campaign comes in response to alarming figures, with over 34,000 phones stolen in Westminster in 2024, around one every 15 minutes. Research commissioned by Currys shows that 77 per cent of UK residents view phone snatching as a serious issue, rising to 88 per cent in large cities like London. As part of the initiative, trained staff at Currys' Oxford Street store are offering support to victims, while researchers at Birkbeck, University of London study the campaign's impact. If successful, it may be expanded to other parts of the UK. The same research showed that 73 per cent of people feel anxious about phone theft when in the capital. Safety and support measures In this trial, Currys has trained senior staff at its Oxford Street store to support victims of phone theft. Staff can help victims contact loved ones, alert the police, cancel bank cards, and get home safely. Customers purchasing phones will also receive practical advice on how to stay safe in public. Deputy Leader of Westminster Council Aicha Less said, as quoted by that the campaign is part of broader efforts to keep residents and visitors safe in public spaces. She encouraged people to take simple steps such as keeping valuables out of sight and planning routes in advance. Studying the impact The purple line initiative is part of a pilot project led by the Institute for Crime & Justice Policy Research (ICPR) at Birkbeck, University of London. Researchers will monitor pedestrian behaviour and phone theft trends to evaluate the campaign's effectiveness. The results are expected by the end of 2025. A spokesperson from ICPR said the team is keen to see how visual cues and familiar phrases can change public behaviour in high-risk areas. Kate Johnston from Crimestoppers said mobile phone theft leaves victims shaken. In the press release, she praised the campaign for raising awareness and encouraged people to report suspicious activity anonymously. Economic Times WhatsApp channel )

Biggest positive trigger for markets would be a sustainable resolution of tariff issue: Abhay Agarwal

Abhay Agarwal , Founder & Fund Manager, Piper Serica , says the markets are eagerly awaiting a resolution to the US president's tariff disputes, as the daily threats are impacting Indian industries. Order cancellations from US buyers in sectors like textiles and auto ancillaries are already occurring due to tariffs. A sustainable resolution is crucial to restore market confidence and prevent companies from withdrawing earnings guidance. What is your first comment on the RBI policy? I am sure it is on the expected lines. But given that inflation is going to be limited, and the tariff situation is still evolving, GDP for the current fiscal year has also not changed because of all the uncertainty that is looming around. Having said that, the situation is still evolving. We are also looking at a Fed policy. So, what is your take on the rate cut stance in India or the US, and the way ahead? Abhay Agarwal: The RBI policy was largely on expected lines but there were a couple of things that kind of differed from the past statements by the governor and one of them was the worry that the growth that they are seeing is uneven and I do not think as a governor he would want to see that or even the finance ministry would want to see that.

The second is that the real inflation on the Street is higher than what the name plate inflation is showing and that is one of the reasons they want to see that play out over the next quarter or so, before deciding on the next rate cut. There is ample liquidity and that is the other thing that he indicated but what they want to see is that the rate transmission takes place right to the bottom of the pyramid which I do not think has taken place as per their expectations. So, for RBI, it is a work in process that it is not only just rate cuts that will drive the economic growth but also these impacts of rate cuts being felt by everybody, the borrowers and the industry kicking off of the private capex cycle. It is a wider agenda that he referred to and it will be interesting to see. The good thing from a market perspective is to see that the RBI is very focused on these key issues and will hopefully resolve them over the next three months and we will see the impact of that in the earnings in probably the third quarter this year. Live Events You Might Also Like: Take it one day at a time; not very bullish or very bearish at this point in time: Mihir Vora Now that we have all of these events, economic indicative actions, but still the triggers, the direction for the domestic market is missing. We see a lot of contingent scenarios from the global front, tariff implications are still underway and at the same time, the quarterly are a mixed bag. Where do you see the triggers coming in? What are the compounding themes? Abhay Agarwal: The markets are waiting for positive triggers and the biggest positive trigger is some kind of resolution to these tariff tantrums by the US president. This daily negative news flow, daily threats and it is something that people can discuss but completely out of control. Unfortunately, what I am seeing is that the impact of these tariffs are already being felt by the Indian industry. We have heard over the last couple of days, cancellation of orders by large US buyers from Indian suppliers in textiles, small auto ancillaries, and some consumer products because they do not want to pay that kind of tariff for imports from India. The Indian industry is already feeling the heat. It is not a discussion or a threat anymore. This has happened. The biggest positive trigger for the markets right now would be some kind of sustainable resolution of this daily tariff threat that has already started impacting Indian exporters and that will give the market confidence that the earnings can be forecast. Otherwise, most of the companies' management will pull out their management guidance for the next quarter and the quarter after that. It is very important that some kind of resolution comes into play.
