This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.Today is the 19th of May and here are the headlines.1. Supreme Court Rejects Minister's Apology Over Remarks on Colonel Sofiya QureshiThe Supreme Court on Monday rejected Madhya Pradesh Minister Vijay Shah's apology over offensive remarks allegedly directed at Colonel Sofiya Qureshi. The court ordered a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the matter and stayed Shah's arrest until a status report is submitted on May 28. Criticizing Shah, the bench said, “The entire nation is ashamed.” Shah made controversial comments during a speech near Mhow, indirectly referencing Qureshi. The SIT, to be led by an IG-rank officer, must be formed by 10 am Tuesday, per SC instructions.2. India Foils Drone, Missile Attack on Golden Temple by PakistanThe Indian Army revealed Monday that Pakistan attempted a drone and missile strike on Amritsar's Golden Temple and cities across Punjab on May 7–8, following Indian strikes on terrorist camps under Operation Sindoor. At a press event in Amritsar, the Army displayed debris from intercepted drones and missiles. Indian air defense systems, including upgraded L-70 guns and AKASH missiles, neutralized the threats. Officials emphasized the target was religious and civilian sites, underlining Pakistan's retaliatory intent following India's counter-terrorism operation inside Pakistani territory and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.3. BCCI Pulls Out of ACC Events Amid India-Pakistan TensionsAmid escalating India-Pakistan tensions, the BCCI has decided to withdraw from upcoming Asian Cricket Council (ACC) tournaments, including the Women's Emerging Teams Asia Cup and Men's Asia Cup. The ACC is currently chaired by Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, which sources say contributed to India's decision. The move reflects India's intent to diplomatically isolate Pakistan's cricket board. The decision could impact the Asia Cup's feasibility, given the financial weight India brings to global cricket events. Sponsors and broadcasters may also reconsider deals if India stays out of the tournament.4. Bengaluru Faces Waterlogging After Year's Heaviest RainfallHeavy rain lashed Bengaluru for over six hours on Sunday night, causing widespread waterlogging and traffic disruptions across the city. Residents described it as the most intense rainfall of the year. Kengeri recorded the highest with 132 mm, according to the Karnataka State Disaster Monitoring Cell. The IMD has issued a ‘yellow alert' for the week, warning of more rain. Traffic police issued advisories for areas in northern Bengaluru including New Bel Road, Yelahanka Circle, Nagawara, and Allalasandra, as commuters dealt with long delays and flooded roads.5. Former President Joe Biden Diagnosed with Advanced Prostate CancerFormer U.S. President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer, his office confirmed Sunday. Doctors reported a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5), indicating metastasis to the bones, but added that the cancer appears hormone-sensitive, offering some treatment hope. Biden, who left office in January, is undergoing evaluations for further management. Global leaders, including Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, expressed their support. Biden's diagnosis adds a personal and public health dimension to the global conversation on cancer awareness.That's all for today. This was the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express.

One of the founding philosophies of the BCCI has been to effectively control the game in India. The IPL has dented that control.  

Just a week ago, everyone had written off the Mumbai Indians. But with four straight wins and a squad clicking in perfect rhythm, they've roared back into the spotlight. The five-time champions aren't just winning—they're dominating, playing with the swagger and confidence of a team that knows exactly how to conquer titles. In contrast, Rishabh Pant - acquired for a record-breaking Rs 27 crore to lead Lucknow Super Giants - has looked a shadow of his once-destructive self. After nine matches this season, he has mustered just 106 runs, with 63 of those coming in a single knock against CSK. Pant has always thrived when brimming with confidence, but at LSG, he seems jaded and weighed down by expectations. His strike rate of 96.36 is alarmingly low for someone of his caliber. Part of the issue could be his constant shuffle in the batting order, never quite settling into one role. Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravindra Jadeja have retained their spots in the Grade A+ bracket of the BCCI central contracts despite stepping away from T20Is. We break down how the BCCI arrived at that decision. In the latest episode of the Sledging Room podcast, Saurabh Kumar, Kingshuk Kusari, and Alan Jose John dissect the central contracts, Pant's struggles, and Mumbai Indians' roaring comeback in IPL 2025.

Hi there! Welcome to Episode 297 of Never on the Backfoot Podcast. This episode takes a deep dive into the current state of the women's game in India. From the BCCI's recently announced central contracts to the surprising venue choices for the Women's ODI World Cup 2025, and the decision to stall WPL expansion, we break down what each of these developments really means. Is equal pay just about match fees, or should equity be about the full picture—contracts, infrastructure, and investment? Are World Cup venues like Mullanpur and Raipur truly geared for a global event, or does this reflect missed ambition? And why is the WPL, despite its early success, being kept from growing? Join us for a sharp, no-nonsense conversation on the decisions that are quietly shaping the future of women's cricket in India. On the podcast today for this discussion, we have Prathik Desai joining us. He is a chartered accountant/finance guy who now writes crypto for a living and has grown up from worshipping cricket to critiquing it in the past two decades.

Today's show starts with Tore's short TikTok message about judges. Then, the released files detail early CIA operations that include some nasty sugar for the Russians. Fire Molly for warmongering and murder. It's all so insane that it has to get better. NATO is so pissed. Oh, and we're going to need Greenland too. The judicial coup is happening as we predicted long ago. If the judicial branch is broken, the other two don't work at all. So many JFK files were missing from the release. The true value of a person comes out when they get some power. Think JFK, Doolittle and Byrd. Kennedy's role had to be fullfiled. NATO players encourage a focus on Israel. The pope has been dead for a hot minute. Plant the seeds even though you may never feel the shade. Too many people are surrounding the President. Deep state tools seem to abound everywhere. People will be diving off roofs soon. Amalgamated Bank is in the middle of the grift. All that union money is gone. How do we bail them out? The Chinese are the best at laundering money. Act Blue handles the big corrupt finances. No one is paying attention to the people, and it hurts. We have to crash the entire financial system. It's a repeat of BCCI. The autopen story turned out to be true. So much is headed our way soon. Now is the time to make your preparations and remember that God loves you.

A rare opportunity arises when global financial institutions implode: a brief window into how the world really works. There's an opportunity to learn how money is laundered and where it's coming from, which financial instruments or jurisdictions are being used to aid and abet criminals, and which drug lords or even governments are trying to hide what they're up to. In 1991, the Pakistani-owned Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) was shuttered by regulators for helping bad actors the world over move criminal cash. A window was opened, and this week on Whale Hunting, Bradley Hope is joined by a man who had a front-row seat: former IRS and DEA undercover agent Robert Mazur, who was the key witness at the trial of numerous BCCI executives who he befriended while posing as a money launderer for Colombia's Medellin Cartel in the late 1980s. They discuss Robert's time undercover, how he became a central character in the downfall of BCCI and infiltrated Pablo Escobar's notorious cartel, and how he came to realise that one of the banks through which Escobar moved his ill-gotten gains, BCCI, was no anomaly: There are scores of international banks with corporate incentives to provide banking services to dictators, money launderers and even terrorists. Mentioned in this week's episode: Robert Mazur's books about his time undercover: The Infiltrator and The Betrayal The Infiltrator has since been adapted into a feature film starring Breaking Bad's Robert Cranston as Robert Mazur.
