India's chase of 212 in the final ended with Pakistan 192 all out, sealing a second gold in cricket at the 2026 Games after India completed a double in the event.
EU scientists report that a majority of the continent's population experienced very strong heat stress over the summer, while separate research has a Slovenian glacier on track to disappear within days and Swiss ice taking another sharp loss.

India's largest telecom operator is preparing to open its subscription on 21 October and is expected to list within days. Behind the numbers is a bet that the public will pay a very high price for scale in Indian digital infrastructure.
The Taiwanese electronics manufacturer's third-quarter revenue rose 47% year on year to about $95.4bn, beating market forecasts, with demand for AI hardware driving a record September.
Tehran has tied the reopening of the waterway to unspecified conditions, keeping the closure in place and leaving one of the world's most important oil chokepoints under a condition nobody outside Iran can evaluate.
Demonstrators took to the streets in New Delhi and Mumbai over the position of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Police said more than 100 people were detained and officers were injured in the clashes.

Analysis
The largest technology investment cycle in decades has a deadline attached to it — the point at which the spending has to start paying for itself. European telecom groups are now publishing the savings they expect from it, which makes the return calculation public for the first time.

The proposal, reported on 5 October, would temporarily restrict smart glasses and other AI-enabled visual devices in settings where recording others is hardest to police — schools, healthcare, parks and beaches.

A 7.8% print for the April-June quarter has been treated as a triumph by the government and as suspect by critics. Both camps are looking at the same dataset — and disagreeing about which year it is measured from.

NOT SCRIPTED assembled the Congressional Research Service, the IEA, the EIA and the FAO's trade data into a single exposure map — and found that the most useful number for India is also the least commonly quoted.
The draft intensity targets covering 255 units ask for a median cut of about 5.5% against a 2023-24 baseline. Against an intensity gap of roughly 0.64 tonnes of CO2 per tonne of steel, that is not a decarbonisation schedule.
