As New Zealand briefly threatened Australia in their ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup match at Holkar Stadium in Indore, Sophie Devine scored twelve fours and three sixes in a brilliant 112-run innings.
Match Report: Australia defends its World Cup title with a victory.
A Thursday Fifa council meeting in Zurich did not include Israel’s participation in football on the agenda.
Following a UN commission of inquiry’s conclusion last month that Israel had committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, the main decision-making body of Fifa is convening.
Although it is not on the agenda, it might be brought up in the “miscellaneous” section.
Israel’s participation in international football will be a subject of discussion, according to BBC Sport’s contact.
Amnesty International recently urged the Israeli Football Association (IFA) to halt play at the World Cup and Uefa, which organizes European competitions.
Victor Montagliani, the vice president of FIFA, has suggested that Uefa should decide.
“First and foremost, I have to deal with a member of my region for whatever reason because Israel is a member of Uefa.” He said, “They have to deal with that.”
In their qualifying group for the World Cup, Israel is six points clear of Norway’s leaders in Uefa’s organization.
The winners of each group’s play-offs are automatically followed by the runners-up, with the top team from each group automatically qualifying for the tournament.
The US, Mexico, and Canada will host the 2026 World Cup on a co-hosted basis.
The administration of US President Donald Trump has vowed to stop any attempts to obstruct Israel’s participation.
According to the UN report, there are logical grounds to believe that four of the five genocidal crimes have been committed since the war’s start in 2023.
Following that, a panel of UN human rights experts demanded that Fifa and Uefa ban Israel’s national team from international competition, saying: “Sports must reject the perception that it is business as usual.”
Israel has consistently disputed that the actions taken in Gaza constitute a genocide and that they are necessary as a means of self-defense. The UN report was deemed “distorted and false” by its foreign ministry.
Reebok, a sports brand, called it “simply not true” that it requested the IFA remove its logos from its team kits.
Reebok and the local franchisee, IFA president Moshe Zuares, and the company’s representatives exchanged the company’s statement, which read, “The company reversed its decision to end its contract with Israel national teams,” according to a statement released by the IFA.
Reebok “is proud of our record as a unifier of all cultures on and off the pitch,” according to a Reebok spokesman.

Hannah Cockroft, a Brit, won the women’s T34 100m in New Delhi, earning her second gold medal at the World Paralympics and her 18th career title.
The Indian champion won her eighth consecutive title in the event in 17.28 seconds.
With a season-best time of 18.08, British team-mate Kare Adenegan won silver, while China’s Lan Hanyu took bronze.
“It’s nice to get titles, but I’d like to be moving a little quicker, if I’m honest,” Cockroft said.
“I want those world records, but I haven’t broken them in a while.”
Cockroft, 33, won the T34 400m gold medal and set a championship record, while Adenegan also won silver in the same event.
On Wednesday, Victoria Levitt won the T44 100m gold medal on her first international appearance in a time of 13.22, and Bebe Jackson won the bronze medal in 13.63.
Levitt, 29, will return to her role at a Mansfield Tesco store in the lead up to Christmas after working two jobs to support her athletics career.
Levitt, being honest, described it as a “complete shock.”
I was like, “Oh, does this mean I’m first when I crossed the line and I didn’t see anyone else?” “, and then the shock struck my face.
It will take some time for the sinking. I’m shocked, I can’t believe what I left with.
Melanie Woods of Great Britain won her second championship medal with a bronze medal in the women’s T54 1500m race in three minutes, 19.75 seconds.
The 31-year-old Scot won a medal at a global games on Monday, joining her for the first time in the T54 800m.
Before Zhou Zhaoqian of China, Swiss-based Catherine Debrunner, a five-time paralympic champion, won 1500m gold.
It’s intimidating to line up on the start line with world records holders, including Catherine, who can command such a fast pace and lead from the beginning, Woods said.
However, you must “hype yourself up” and give yourself the assurance you deserve to be the first to go.
With that, I couldn’t be happier. The week started off well, and to top it off is a bonus.

The Supreme Court of the United States will hear arguments regarding Lisa Cook’s removal as governor of the Federal Reserve. Cook will continue in his current position until the court’s announcement.
On Wednesday, the high court made the decision public.

In the first attempt by a president to fire a Fed official, Cook has been attempting to leave, a unprecedented challenge to central bank independence.
While lower court litigation continues over the termination, the justices declined to decide the Department of Justice’s request to put a judge’s temporary suspension of the Republican president’s ability to remove Cook, an appointee of Democratic former president Joe Biden.
The case will be heard in January, according to the justices’ statements.
The Federal Reserve Act, a law passed by Congress in 1913 that protected the central bank from political interference, including allowing governors to be removed by president only “for cause,” despite the law’s definition and procedure for removal. In court, the law has never been put to the test.
On September 9, US District Judge Jia Cobb in Washington, DC, decided that Cook’s claims that he had made mortgage fraud before taking office, which Cook refuted, likely weren’t sufficient grounds for his removal under the Federal Reserve Act.
Trump announced on August 25 that he would appoint Cook to the Fed’s board of directors, citing allegations that she had falsified records to obtain favorable mortgage terms before joining the central bank in 2022. Her term is scheduled to end in 2038.
Soon after, Cook, the first Black woman governor of the Fed, filed a lawsuit against Trump. Cook claimed that Trump’s accusations against her served as a pretext to fire her because of her monetary policy stance.
The administration requested a delay in Cobb’s order, but the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit turned down that request on September 15.
Despite similar job protections for those positions, the Supreme Court has ruled in a number of recent decisions that the Supreme Court has allowed Trump to remove from various federal agencies that Congress had established as independent from direct presidential control. The court’s decision suggests that it may be ready to overturn a significant 1935 precedent that preserved these protections in a case involving the US Federal Trade Commission.
The court has since indicated that it can treat the Fed differently from other executive branch branches, noting in May that the Fed “is a uniquely structured, quasi-private entity” with a unique historical tradition in a case involving Trump’s dismissal of two Democratic members of federal labor boards.
Trump’s plan to fire Cook is a result of his broad assertions about presidential authority since he took office in January. Cook is given an “unreviewable discretion” as long as there is a cause for removal, according to the Department of Justice in a filing to the Supreme Court on September 18.
The filing stated that “the President may reasonably determine that a Governor who appears to have lied about facts relevant to the interest rates she secured for herself and who declines to explain the apparent lies.”
According to Cook’s attorneys, granting Trump’s request “would eviscerate the Federal Reserve’s longstanding independence, upend financial markets, and establish a blueprint for upcoming presidents to direct monetary policy based on their political agendas and election calendars,” according to Cook’s lawyers’ statement to the Supreme Court on September 25.
A group of 18 former US Federal Reserve officials, Treasury secretaries, and other top economic figures who served under both parties’ presidents urged the Supreme Court to stop Donald Trump from firing Cook.
Janet Yellen, Ben Bernanke, and Alan Greenspan, the previous three Fed chairs, were also present. They claimed in a brief to the court that allowing this dismissal would undermine public trust in the Fed and threaten its independence.
In September, the Fed convened its highly anticipated two-day meeting in Washington, DC, where the central bank decided to cut interest rates by a quarter of a percentage point as policymakers expressed concern about job market weakness. Cook a part of the group who voted in favor of the cut.
Concerns about the Fed’s separation from the White House’s monetary policy may have an impact on the world economy.
The case has implications for the Fed’s ability to regulate interest rates in accordance with political wills, which are widely believed to be essential for any central bank’s capacity to operate independently and carry out tasks like regulating inflation.
