“Rohit Sharma has scored double centuries” – Former India cricketer’s huge statement on Smriti Mandhana ahead of Women’s World Cup 2025 semi-final

Former India cricketer Reema Malhotra has urged Smriti Mandhana to score a double century in the Women’s World Cup 2025 semi-final against Australia. She highlighted that Rohit Sharma has played multiple such knocks in ODIs.

India will face Australia in the second semi-final of the Women’s World Cup 2025 in Navi Mumbai on Thursday, October 30. Mandhana will potentially open with Shafali Verma, who has been added to the squad as a replacement for the injured Pratika Rawal.

During an interaction on the Star Sports show *Game Plan*, Malhotra was asked whether Pratika’s absence would put additional pressure on Mandhana. She responded, “Rohit Sharma has scored double centuries in ODIs. Smriti has to do the same thing. She has to score a century for herself and a century for Pratika. The responsibility will be there. However, it’s something that is not in anyone’s hands.”

The former India all-rounder noted that the left-handed opener has scored a double century in junior cricket and that the Women in Blue need her to replicate that effort now.

“You have the bat in your hand and the 50 overs in front of you. You are scoring 110-120, score a little more than that. Smriti has to play 50 overs and she can do that. She was the first player to score a double century in domestic cricket. If she could do it then, India need it now,” Malhotra observed.

With 365 runs at an average of 60.83 in seven innings, Smriti Mandhana is the highest run-getter in the Women’s World Cup 2025. She has amassed 996 runs at an average of 49.80 in 20 ODI innings against Australia.

### “This is not the Smriti Mandhana of 2024” – Reema Malhotra on opener’s potential battle with Ashleigh Gardner

In the same interaction, Reema Malhotra was asked about Smriti Mandhana’s potential battle with Ashleigh Gardner in the Women’s World Cup 2025 semi-final.

“She has played Gardner exceptionally well in the last few matches. Whether it’s a left-arm spinner or an off-spinner, this is not the Smriti Mandhana of 2024. This is Smriti 2.0, who has worked on it. She plays all the shots. So I don’t think it will be a challenge,” she replied.

The cricketer-turned-commentator was also asked about Mandhana’s potential contest with Sophie Molineux, considering the left-arm spinner had dismissed the Indian vice-captain in the league game between the two sides.

“It will be challenging, but Smriti gave her wicket to Molineux after scoring runs. I think Smriti only hit 15 to 16 runs in her first over. I feel the approach will be the same here. Whichever Australian bowler comes, you will have to attack them. If you allow any Australian bowler to get on top of you, they will bowl their entire 10 overs at one spot,” Malhotra responded.

To conclude, Reema Malhotra recalled Meg Lanning saying that Australia were out of plans when Harmanpreet Kaur was smashing them in the Women’s World Cup 2017 semi-final. She expressed hope that Alyssa Healy or Tahlia McGrath, whoever captains Australia, will have similar words for Mandhana and Harmanpreet in the post-match presentation of the Women’s World Cup 2025 semi-final.

Former Rep. George Santos released from prison after Trump commutes his sentence

Posted on by

(CNN) Disgraced former Rep. George Santos, who had been serving a seven-year term for fraud charges that led to his ouster from Congress, was released from prison on Friday night after President Donald Trump commuted his sentence, his lawyer told CNN.

Trump first announced the commutation on Truth Social on Friday evening. According to attorney Joseph Murray, Santos’ family picked him up from the prison about five hours later.

“George Santos was somewhat of a ‘rogue,’ but there are many rogues throughout our Country that aren’t forced to serve seven years in prison,” the president wrote on Truth Social. “George has been in solitary confinement for long stretches of time and, by all accounts, has been horribly mistreated. Therefore, I just signed a Commutation, releasing George Santos from prison, IMMEDIATELY. Good luck George, have a great life,” Trump added.

Trump’s commutation comes just months after Santos, 37, surrendered on July 25 to serve 87 months in prison. Before he surrendered, Santos told Saudi outlet Al Arabiya English that he asked Trump for a pardon but believed he “got stonewalled.”

“I don’t think it made it to the president,” Santos said of his pardon request at the time. “Unfortunately, gatekeepers have blockaded for it to ever get to the president.”

But even from behind bars, Santos continued to make his case. According to his verified X page, he wrote an open letter to Trump earlier this week, pleading for “fairness” while also saying he takes “full responsibility” for his actions.

“Mr. President, I am not asking for sympathy. I am asking for fairness for the chance to rebuild. I know I have made mistakes in my past. I have faced my share of consequences, and I take full responsibility for my actions. But no man, no matter his flaws, deserves to be lost in the system, forgotten and unseen, enduring punishment far beyond what justice requires,” Santos wrote in the letter published in The South Shore Press.

The law firm that represented Santos celebrated the president’s move, telling CNN, “We applaud the President for correcting this injustice.”

Murray posted on X a message on behalf of Santos thanking GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene — who he said “fought like a lion” for him — as well as Lauren Boebert, Anna Paulina Luna, and former Congressman Matt Gaetz, whom he described as “in regular contact.”

Santos also expressed gratitude to “the greatest DOJ team ever assembled,” specifically naming Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, Associated Deputy AG Diego Pestana, and US Pardon Attorney Ed Martin, among others.

Martin wrote on X he was “honored” to have played “a small role” in Trump granting “clemency” to Santos, and thanked the president for “making clemency great again.”

Meanwhile, the commutation drew mixed reactions from lawmakers. Taylor Greene, who wrote a letter to Trump in August asking him to commute Santos’ sentence, also thanked the president in a post on X, adding that Santos “was unfairly treated and put in solitary confinement, which is torture!!”

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, however, slammed Trump for focusing on Santos instead of Americans’ health care — an issue at the center of the ongoing government shutdown.

“Donald Trump has time to free serial fraudster George Santos from prison. But he can’t be bothered to address the Republican healthcare crisis crushing working class Americans,” Jeffries said in a post on X.

In August 2024, the former congressman pleaded guilty to aggravated identity theft and wire fraud charges stemming from activity during his 2022 midterm campaign.

“I deeply regret my conduct,” Santos said in court at that time. “I accept full responsibility for my actions.”

Santos was expelled from Congress in December 2023, before completing a full term in the US House, becoming only the sixth lawmaker ever to be expelled from the chamber.

During his short time in Congress, reports emerged of Santos having fabricated parts of his biography, including his employment history and education. He eventually admitted to doing that.

Santos represented parts of Long Island and Queens and attempted to run in another New York district before pleading guilty.

Santos had been serving out his sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution in Fairton, southern New Jersey, per the federal Bureau of Prisons.

Teen gang banger, drill rapper, 17, already a ‘career criminal’ with 20 busts: ‘Raise the Age allows this to happen’

Posted on by
Reply

A 17-year-old gang member from the Bronx, who has been arrested 20 times, has become the poster child for critics of the Raise the Age law, police sources say.

The teenager, drill rapper Julian Turner, first came to police attention at age 14 when he was arrested for shooting a man. His latest arrest occurred on October 10, when he was caught allegedly carrying a gun on a subway platform at Penn Station, according to court records and law enforcement officials.

“You have a 17-year-old kid who tried to kill people with a gun and is still walking around with guns,” said a Manhattan police officer. “What do you think he’s going to do with a gun? He’s going to kill somebody.”

All of Turner’s arrests have taken place since the left-leaning April 2017 legislation raised the age of criminal responsibility to 18. The law was designed to keep children out of the criminal justice system and reduce youth incarceration. But in Turner’s case, it appears to have had little effect on rehabilitation.

Turner, an alleged member of the Young Gunnaz gang and known in the drill rap scene as Baby B-Dot, remains defiant. “I’m not a baby,” officials quoted him as saying.

Retired NYPD Assistant Commissioner of Youth Services Kevin O’Connor criticized the law’s limitations, stating, “Raise the Age does not allow the judges to use prior history when determining what to do with these kids. Here he is at 17—a career criminal. Raise the Age allows this to happen. How many people have to get shot or killed before they change the law?”

At the time of his latest arrest, Turner, who is currently on parole for juvenile offenses until August 2026, was on a subway train on the A/C/E line at Penn Station just before noon. An MTA worker noticed Turner and another teenager flashing gang signs. The subway engineer also observed Turner fidgeting with something in his waistband and alerted police who were on the platform, sources said.

When officers attempted to question and search Turner, he allegedly resisted and wrestled with them on the platform—an incident captured on police body camera footage. Officers eventually found a loaded handgun with a defaced serial number. Turner was charged with criminal possession of a weapon and resisting arrest and has been held on $75,000 cash bail or $175,000 bond, prosecutors said.

Turner’s criminal history is extensive. On September 2, he allegedly robbed a 32-year-old man at gunpoint in Morris Heights and was charged with robbery and criminal possession of a weapon.

Turner’s life of crime reportedly began at age 10. On December 19, 2018, he allegedly pulled a fake gun on two boys aged 11 and 13, threatening them and punching the younger child. Arrested with a knife, Turner faced charges of menacing, assault, and criminal possession of a weapon. Because he was a minor, outcomes of these early cases remain confidential.

The following year, Turner allegedly slashed a 14-year-old’s ear with a box cutter in Kingsbridge. Police also report that on August 31, 2019, the then 11-year-old Turner stabbed a 71-year-old woman’s hand after grabbing an item from a vendor’s table. Once again, records for these incidents are sealed due to his age.

At age 14, Turner’s violent activities escalated. On September 19, 2022, he allegedly fired shots at a Dunkin’ Donuts from the back of a scooter in Kingsbridge, striking the restaurant’s window but causing no injuries. Just days later, he reportedly shot a 20-year-old man in the leg outside a Kingsbridge Heights restaurant.

Then Chief of Detectives James Essig described Turner’s record at that time as staggering: “Eighteen arrests. He’s 14-years-old.” Turner was charged with attempted murder and criminal possession of a weapon and sent to a juvenile detention facility, although the length of his stay remains undisclosed.

O’Connor slammed the current system, adding, “There’s no accountability with Raise the Age. How many times is it going to take? How many people have to get shot or killed before they change the law?”

Turner’s lawyer could not be reached for comment.

Influencer who scammed supermarket with fake cash begs fans for forgiveness

Irish TikTok Creator Alex Nolan Admits to Multiple Fraud Charges Over Counterfeit €50 Notes

Irish TikTok creator Alex Nolan has admitted to multiple fraud charges after being caught using counterfeit €50 notes at a SuperValu supermarket. The influencer, who has nearly 53,000 followers on TikTok, is known for his comedy and lifestyle videos.

According to court reports, Nolan attempted to use the fake bills three separate times. Each time, he purchased a low-cost drink worth around €2.30 and received over €45 in real change. However, after the third attempt, supermarket staff noticed the pattern and reviewed CCTV footage, quickly uncovering the scam.

Nolan appeared before the court earlier this month and pleaded guilty to several offences under the Theft and Fraud Offences Act. The case has been adjourned until January of next year.

**“Every Action Has a Reaction”: Alex Nolan Posts Apology Video**

Following news of his guilty plea, Nolan shared a heartfelt video on his TikTok account on October 8, 2025. In the clip, he addressed his followers directly and explained why he decided to speak out.

“I didn’t know whether to make a video or address anything in the last 24 hours, ’cause I didn’t really know how to handle it or take it,” he began. “But yes, a year and a half ago, I made a huge mistake. Yes, I hold my hands up to the mistake, for every action has a reaction.”

He went on to say that he wanted to discuss the situation because he has “a lot of young followers” and felt responsible for setting a positive example.

“I’m not making any excuses for myself or justifying anything that I’ve done. Because what I done was wrong,” Nolan continued. “I was in a confusing phase of life, not really knowing what to do or how to handle myself. And I obviously made a huge mistake that I am facing the consequences for now.”

Nolan also emphasized that he has changed since the incident. “But what I do say to the people who do look up to me, it’s what you do after you make the mistakes, how you hold yourself. I opted a bad way out and I done a complete 180 since then,” he said. “I feel like doing what I’ve done isn’t right. And I don’t agree with any of it.”

On TikTok, Nolan wrote:
*“Hope my silly mistakes in the past can help young lads realise that in hard times don’t opt for ‘easy money’ or stupid mistakes. I take full responsibility for my actions and always will. It’s about what you do to better yourself after making these silly mistakes, and my content and everyone that knows me knows I put 110% effort every day to better myself and to spread positivity. Thank you to everyone sending me kind messages, I do appreciate it ❤️”*

**Social Media Reactions**

The comments section on Nolan’s TikTok was filled with a mix of jokes about being in a “money-making business,” but many people also expressed support.

One user wrote, “He’s a young lad who made a mistake. No one got hurt, he didn’t harm anyone. He’s not a terrible human. Keep your head up man, you’ll be grand.”

Another TikToker commented, “Well said. Done a complete switch around from that time in your life, brother. ❤”

A third person added, “You didn’t just do a 180, you done a 360 & turned it all around & you’ve held it all together. I don’t know you personally but so proud of your growth 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.”

Despite the chaotic nature of the internet, stories like Nolan’s serve as reminders of personal accountability and growth.

Punjab Congress candidate Karanbir Singh Burj files nomination for bypolls

Posted on by
Reply

The Tarn Taran assembly seat fell vacant following the death of AAP MLA Kashmir Singh Sohal in June. Ahead of the bypoll, Congress candidate Burj held a roadshow before filing his nomination papers.

Several senior leaders participated in the roadshow, including Congress general secretary in-charge of Punjab Bhupesh Baghel, Punjab Congress president Amrinder Singh Raja Warring, Leader of Opposition in the Punjab Assembly Partap Singh Bajwa, and former chief minister Charanjit Singh Channi.

Speaking on the occasion, Bhupesh Baghel called upon party workers to fight the election with full dedication and commitment. He emphasized the importance of this bypoll for both the Congress party and Punjab, expressing confidence that the party would win the election by an impressive margin.

Addressing party workers, Amrinder Singh Raja Warring said the Tarn Taran bypoll would set the tone and direction for Punjab ahead of the 2027 assembly elections. He appealed to voters to choose their candidate wisely — someone who would stand by them round the clock.

Leader of Opposition Partap Singh Bajwa warned against the “return of dark days” in Punjab, when citizens did not feel safe and secure. He added that even today, safety remains a concern, particularly along the border belt.

Former chief minister Charanjit Singh Channi criticized the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), stating that it had not only “betrayed” the people of Punjab but also let down its own workers. He pointed out that the AAP did not nominate a single person from the Dalit community, farmers, or poor families to the Rajya Sabha.

Important dates for the Tarn Taran bypoll are as follows:
– Last date for filing nominations: October 21
– Scrutiny of nomination papers: October 22
– Last date for withdrawal of candidature: October 24
– Counting of votes: November 14
