(AP Photo/Khalil Hamra) 1 2 3 4 5 Washington, May 23, 2025 - The United States said Thursday that it had determined that Sudan's military used chemical weapons in the country's bloody civil war last year and will impose sanctions on Khartoum. "The United States calls on the Government of Sudan to cease all chemical weapons use and uphold its obligations" under the Chemical Weapons Convention , an international treaty signed by nearly all countries that prohibits their use, the State Department said. "The United States remains fully committed to hold to account those responsible for contributing to chemical weapons proliferation," State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce said in a statement. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Viral Video: मृत्यू कसाही येऊ शकतो! सीसीटीव्हीत कैद झाली काळीज पिळवटणारी घटना Latest News Read More Undo The State Department did not immediately offer details on when and where the weapons were used. The New York Times reported in January that Sudan's military had used chemical weapons on at least two occasions in remote areas its war with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Citing anonymous US officials, the newspaper said that the weapon appeared to be chlorine gas, which can cause severe respiratory pain and death. The State Department said it notified Congress on Thursday of its determination on the use of chemical weapons, triggering sanctions after 15 days. The sanctions include restrictions on US exports and financing to Sudan's government. In practical terms, the effect will be limited as both Sudan's military chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and his adversary, RSF leader Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, are already under US sanctions. A power struggle between the army and RSF erupted into full-scale war in April 2023 with devastating consequences for the already impoverished country. The conflict has killed tens of thousands of people, displaced 13 million and created what the United Nations describes as the world's worst humanitarian crisis. The army said on Tuesday it had dislodged the RSF from their last positions in Omdurman, part of the Sudanese capital, securing all of Khartoum state nearly two months after recapturing the capital's center. sct/sst NATO foreign ministers pose for a group photo during their informal meeting in Antalya, southern Turkey, Thursday, May 15, 2025.

‘Talent should be nurtured, not marketed': BCCI told to protect 14-year-old prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi
Former India head coach Greg Chappell has warned the BCCI against managing 14-year-old cricket prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi. The young left-hander shot to fame after being selected by Rajasthan Royals in the IPL 2025 auction, and later with his thrilling century against Gujrat Titans last month. Chapell warned that while Suryavanshi bats with the authority of a man twice his age, he is 'still a child - physiologically, neurologically, emotionally.' 'His brain is still wiring itself, his values still forming, his identity still fragile. In that context, such acclaim, such expectation, such public adulation, can become a double-edged sword.' Chapell noted in his column for ESPNCricinfo. He added that child prodigies can be a 'double narrative', giving hope and a sense of wonder to fans but also being forced to carry burdens that they are not equipped to handle. To make his point, Chapell gave the example of Sachin Tendulkar and Vinod Kambli, one of them suceeded while the other failed to balance fame with discipline. 'Sachin Tendulkar succeeded as a teenager not simply due to talent but because of a solid support system - a stoic temperament, a wise coach, a family that protected him from the circus. On the other hand, Vinod Kambli, equally talented and perhaps more flamboyant, struggled to balance fame and discipline. His fall was as dramatic as his rise. Prithvi Shaw is another wunderkind who has fallen but may yet find a way back to the pinnacle,' Chappell added. Chapell added that it was up to the cricket board, along with other stakeholders, to protect the young cricket prodigy. He noted, 'It is incumbent on the cricketing ecosystem - the BCCI, the franchises, mentors, and the media - to protect him. Talent can't be bubble-wrapped, but it can be provided a buffer. It must be guided, not glorified; nurtured, not just marketed,'. The former India coach suggests a few ways to protect young and emerging talent in cricket. First, he says, there should be licensed child psychologists as part of every elite youth programme. Secondly, he adds that commercial interests must come second to the mental health of players and contracts should require them to continue their education. And, he adds, the cricketer's family and trusted adults must remain central to the child's decision-making process, not just act as cheerleaders. First Published: 4 May 2025, 10:15 AM IST

IPL 2025: Virat Kohli leads the way as traditionalists make their mark with bat and ball
At just 14 years of age, Vaibhav Suryavanshi delivered arguably the greatest performance in the nearly two-decade long history of the Indian Premier League. The bravery of that 35-ball century for Rajasthan Royals, against the quality and experience of the Gujrat Titans bowlers, combined with the level of competition, make it one of the most remarkable moments in cricket history. IPL 2025, or any other season for that matter, will struggle to top that. There have been other inspiring tales in the tournament as well; like Hyderabad's Abhishek Sharma and Punjab opener Priyansh Arya's superlative tons under pressure, an unknown name such as Mumbai spinner Vignesh Puthur making waves on debut, and many youngsters showing that they belong on the big stage. But away from the attention grabbing exploits of youngsters, the traditionalists and veterans of the game have quietly gone about their business and emerged as the heartbeat of their teams this term. If you look at the top teams in the points table and pick out their best performers, a pattern emerges – more of technical proficiency and less of explosive intent. Royal Challengers Bengaluru star batter Virat Kohli is the second highest run-scorer so far while their pace spearhead Josh Hazlewood is the leading wicket-taker. Gujarat Titans are firmly in the race for the play-offs and their opener Sai Sudharsan, a classic opening batter, is the tournament's top run-getter while their pacer Prasidh Krishna, who is in India's Test plans, is among the IPL's most impactful bowlers, placed second in the wickets charts as of Wednesday. There are other players of similar ilk who have performed consistently; KL Rahul with the bat and Mitchell Starc and Kuldeep Yadav with the ball for Delhi, Trent Boult with the new ball for Mumbai Indians, Jos Buttler at one down for Gujarat, among others. Sure, there are T20 specialists who have excelled, such as Suryakumar Yadav, who is the highest run-scorer for the fast rising Mumbai and Nicholas Pooran who is in devastating form for Lucknow. But overall, the traditionalists are winning. And the reason behind it is simple – conditions. This season, the Indian cricket board has made an attempt to tackle the issue of balance between bat and ball, succeeding in containing ultra high-scoring matches and resulting in a rise in value of quality bowling attacks. Firstly, pitches at all venues have seen life injected into them. Variable bounce and grip have kept fast-bowlers and spinners in the game, with even traditional finger spinners such as Delhi captain Axar Patel doing a commendable job; something which was not possible in recent seasons. Also, teams have been allowed to use saliva on the ball again, giving the faster bowlers better chance to shine the ball appropriately and generate reverse swing wherever possible. And finally, to a lesser degree, IPL organisers have cracked the whip on illegal oversized bats. On-field umpires have been checking the thickness of the bats of every batter walking in; many have been caught using improper equipment. This has resulted in a more nuanced battle between bat, ball and conditions, where targets of 180 are not straightforward. This has allowed a purist like Kohli to build his innings and play the game at a tempo which might not be exhilarating, but gets the job done; Bengaluru are top of the table mainly due to his runs. Boult is making early inroads with the new ball, while Hazlewood has become devastating with the new and old ball, getting bounce up front and nailing the yorkers at the end with reverse swing. For Delhi, Rahul has been in sublime form and he has been able to change gears according to the situation. Almost all consistent performers this IPL are top-tier Test players. Those who know the art of grinding it out and understand the value of incremental progress in a long tournament like the IPL. For context, Sunrisers' Abhishek and Ishan Kishan scored a stupendous centuries but have failed otherwise. The moment the pitches become challenging, the game – even in T20s – demands more from players. It was a similar scenario during the Champions Trophy in Dubai where vastly challenging surfaces aided as many as four spinners in the playing XI. The final was won by India who eschewed flamboyance and worked on absolute basics of run scoring, and dot-ball accumulation while bowling. Maybe next season, the pitches will become flat again and we will see 250 beats 240 games regularly. But this year is for the 'purists'.

Patel and Mendis help Sunrisers beat Kings in Dhoni's 400th T20
Patel grabbed 4-28 and was ably assisted by skipper Pat Cummins and Jaydev Unadkat -- both finishing with identical figures of 2-21 -- to dismiss the home team for a below-par 154 in 19.5 overs. South African youngster Dewald Brevis was the top scorer for the Kings with a blistering 25-ball 42, cracking four sixes and a boundary on his debut for the franchise. Skipper M.S. Dhoni failed to make his 400th T20 a memorable occasion, managing just six runs and coming out on the losing side. Sunrisers achieved the target in 18.4 overs for the loss of five wickets with Ishan Kishan leading the way with a solid 34-ball 44 with five boundaries and a six. Mendis struck an unbeaten 32 off 22 balls, adding 49 in an unbroken sixth wicket stand with Nitish Kumar Reddy who finished with a 13-ball 19 not out. The victory lifted Sunrisers to eighth on the 10-team table topped by Gujrat Titans with 12 points in eight matches while five-time champions Kings are at the bottom with four points in nine. Patel, declared man-of-the-match, attributed discipline as the key for his fine bowling. "I figured out pretty early that hitting it on a good length around the stumps was important because it was hard to hit with the horizontal bat," said Patel. Dhoni blamed losing a cluster of wickets for the poor batting show. "I think we kept losing wickets and another thing is in the first innings the wicket was slightly better," said Dhoni. "A total of 157 wasn't a justifiable score." Earlier, Chennai Super Kings were rocked by Sunrisers's pacer Patel who ripped through the middle and lower-order batting. The home team started on a wrong note when opener Shaik Rasheed was caught in the slip off the very first delivery of the match by fast bowler Mohammad Shami. Seventee-year-old Ayush Mhatre was impressive in his 19-ball 30, which was studded with six boundaries, while Ravindra Jadeja managed 21 with a six and a boundary. Jadeja's dismissal brought Dhoni to the crease as the crowd roared to welcome their hero in his 400th T20 match but Dhoni's stay lasted for just ten balls. It was Brevis who assured Kings get past 150 with some lusty hitting.
