In a first, FIR for illegal occupation of EWS house in Ahmedabad

3 min readJul 18, 2026 10:23 PM IST Argentina players hold a banner at the end of the World Cup semifinal soccer match between England and Argentina in Atlanta on Wednesday, July 15, 2026. (AP Photo/Rebecca Blackwell)With the Argentine team facing flak for taunting England with a banner related to the Falklands War after their 2-1 win in the World Cup semifinal, the White House defended the Latin American team, saying that displaying it was their right to freedom of speech. Andrew Giuliani, Executive director of the World Cup task force said that the Argentine team had the “ability” to do so under the First Amendment rights of the USA. “We believe in our First Amendment rights here in the United States of America. In terms of the ability and opportunity to be able to make those statements, they have the ability to do that in the United States,” Giuliani said to Sky News.The controversy sparked off after Argentina’s Lautaro Martínez and Giovani Lo Celso held aloft a banner that read: ‘Las Malvinas son Argentinas’ after the semifinal match. It translates to: ‘The Falkland Islands [Malvinas] are Argentine.’ Sky’s @RobHarris asks the White House World Cup chief Andrew Giuliani if Argentina’s players were wrong to use celebrations in a stadium to claim the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands Watch his response below⬇️ pic.twitter.com/hLJQrj3PEn — Sky News (@SkyNews) July 17, 2026 The Falkland Islands — or Islas Malvinas, as they are known in Argentina — have remained at the centre of a sovereignty dispute between Argentina and the UK since Britain reasserted control over the islands in 1833. Argentina argues that it inherited the sovereignty of these islands from Spain upon gaining independence in 1816, and therefore regards Britain’s occupation as illegal. In 1982, the two countries fought a 74-day war that resulted in 649 Argentine casualties and 255 British deaths. Officially, Britain continues to administer the islands, with the majority of the residents voting to remain a British overseas territory during a referendum in 2013. But Argentina still considers the British protectorate essential to its national identity. FIFA’s regulations state that any political banner or flags with political messages are strictly prohibited before, after and during a match in the immediate vicinity of the stadium. International Football Association Board (IFAB) regulations also prohibit players from using sporting equipment with political messaging. FIFA’s code of conduct also says fans cannot “curse or chant in a political, offensive and/or discriminatory manner”. The world body is currently reviewing the on-field gesture in Atlanta under its rules prohibiting political messaging

Trump sends Canada a tariff warning as wildfire smoke smothers US cities ahead of FIFA final match

President Donald Trump is using wildfire smoke from Canada to threaten tariffs. more than 100 million people across the Midwest, Northeast and Mid-Atlantic breathing in dangerous air brought by thick, choking plumes of smoke from wildfires in Canada.There are nearly 1,000 active fires across Canada as of Saturday, according to its government. So far this summer, about 3,500 fires — including a dozen blazes that flared up in Ontario in recent weeks — have burned more than 6 million acres in the country.Trump blames Canada for wildfire smoke crisisWriting on Truth Social on Friday, Trump accused Canada of failing to manage its forests properly, blaming the country directly for the smoke now smothering swathes of the US."The United States is being unnecessarily invaded by filthy, polluted, and unhealthy air, the quality of which is dangerous, and totally unacceptable!" he wrote, adding, "The cost is incalculable!"According to the president, the smoke has become a recurring annual burden that is costing the US billions of dollars, although the basis for that figure was not made clear. He argued that this cost should now be factored into the tariffs already imposed on Canadian goods.Nearly 1,000 wildfires burning across CanadaCanadian government figures show that almost 1,000 fires are currently active nationwide as of Saturday.Officials say the overwhelming majority of the roughly 800 active fires are classified as "out of control", and the resulting haze has drifted deep into the US, reaching cities including New York, Chicago and Minneapolis.Air quality alerts disrupt sport and summer events nationwideThe smoke has forced the cancellation or postponement of a string of high-profile fixtures and gatherings. A baseball match between the Cleveland Guardians and the Pittsburgh Pirates was called off, as was the RowFest National Championships in Michigan.More than a dozen states remained under air quality alerts as the smoke disrupted summer plans. A baby parade in Flint, Michigan, a rock concert in Herndon, Virginia, and the America's Mile marathon in Pittsburgh were all cancelled on Friday.The economic toll has extended to businesses during what is usually a lucrative season, with Pennsylvania's Kennywood and Sandcastle Water Park both forced to shut their gates because of poor air quality.Republicans in Congress push for sanctions on CanadaThe smoke has added fresh strain to an already tense relationship between Washington and Ottawa, with several Republican lawmakers now calling for punitive measures against Canada.Senator Bernie Moreno of Ohio said he intends to introduce legislation next week to sanction Canada and its officials, having shared a post highlighting pollution levels in Cleveland. Representative Nick Langworthy of New York said he was contacting Canadian officials directly to press them into action."Canada must take meaningful action to prevent these catastrophic wildfires and protect both Canadians and Americans," Langworthy wrote on X. "If it refuses to do so, there should be consequences."A group of four Republican representatives from Michigan went further still, writing to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney this week demanding a response."We are done accepting apologies in place of action. If Canada will not manage its forests to prevent these fires, the United States will look elsewhere, and act on our own, to protect our people," the letter said.The diplomatic pressure comes on top of existing friction between the two allies over Trump's tariff policy and his repeated suggestion that Canada should become the 51st US state.Chicago records worst air quality in its historySome of the country's worst readings were logged in Milwaukee, Chicago and Detroit on Friday morning, while unhealthy pollution levels also pushed into southern Ohio and West Virginia."Chicago is currently experiencing its worst air quality in recorded history," the mayor's office said in a social media post on Thursday evening.

Rivian raises EV sales forecast as Q2 production ramps up

The Honda Prologue, you may have heard, is officially dead — a decision the company confirmed to TechCrunch, removing the last all-electric vehicle from the automaker’s U.S. portfolio. The Prologue’s departure signals more than Honda’s EV backpedaling. It also illustrates a broader EV industry retreat from the U.S. market (in stark contrast to the rest of the world). The demise of the Honda Prologue got us thinking: What other EVs have left the U.S., and why? The end of the $7,500 federal tax credit had an outsized effect on EV sales in the United States. But there are other reasons behind the winnowing choices, including tariffs, changing consumer tastes, costs, company priorities, and regulatory action. According to data published in July by Kelley Blue Book and Cox Automotive, 247,226 EVs were sold in the second quarter or about 5.8% of the total market. While EV sales grew between the first and second quarters of 2026, they are still down from the same period last year (and before that tax credit ended in fall 2025). Still Americans are still buying EVs, and there are new EVs entering the U.S. market — the Rivian R2 is one example. And there are signs of a slow recovery. Fourth quarter 2025 sales were 36% lower than the same period in 2024. This year that gap has narrowed, albeit still below sales figures from the previous year. For example, EV sales in Q2 were 20.5% lower than the same period in 2025. Even with a recovery underway, automakers are pulling the plug on many EV modes. Here are those ones that have left or are leaving. TechCrunch will periodically update this list of EVs that have left, or are leaving, the U.S. market in 2026. Afeela Afeela prototype at the 2026 CES event in Las Vegas.Image Credits:Bridget Bennett/Bloomberg / Getty Images Ah, Afeela we never even knew ya. The Afeela got its start as the Vision S, a prototype announced by Sony in 2020 at the Consumer Electronics and that ended up being one of the big, surprising reveals of the annual tech trade show. Honda entered the picture in 2022 when the two Japanese conglomerates announced a joint venture; they showed off an Afeela-branded prototype the following year. In the months and years that followed, there was constant barrage of updates about the Afeela, which seemed to be everywhere, and yet nowhere. It was even displayed at TechCrunch Disrupt one year. The Afeela, despite the marketing blitz, never made it into production. In March 2026, the joint venture gave up on the two Afeela-branded EVs. The move followed Honda’s decision, announced just a two weeks before, to cancel three EVs planned for the U.S. market. Honda (and Acura!) Honda 0 SUVImage Credits:Honda It was just a couple of years ago that Honda declared its EV ambitions with its O Series, including a mid-sized SUV prototype that debuted at the CES 2025 tech trade show and its futuristic Saloon and Space-Hub concepts the year before. The SUV, which was slated for production at Honda’s “EV Hub” factory in Ohio, was supposed to debut in North America in the first half of 2026. Honda stopped development of the Acura RDX, Honda O sedan and SUV in March 2026 as part of a major overhaul of the company’s EV plans. The company blamed U.S. tariffs and Chinese competition for the decision. There was also chatter at the time that Honda was planning to stop production of the Prologue, but there was no official announcement until July 16 when CarBuzz was the first to report that the Prologue program was ending. TechCrunch confirmed with Honda that the Prologue was going out of production. The death of the Series 0 is difficult to measure since it never went into production. The Prologue represented more grounded goals than the O Series, and one that actually went into production and sold to U.S. consumers. The Prologue was a product of a partnership with General Motors — it is built at GM’s Ramos Assembly Plant in Mexico — and closely related to the Chevrolet Blazer EV. And it did OK

Federal employees can download TikTok on their work phones again

The Department of Justice says that federal employees can now download TikTok on their government devices, according to Reuters. A 2022 law banned federal employees from using the short-form video app on those devices, but the DOJ reportedly says the law no longer applies, thanks to a deal transferring ownership of TikTok’s U.S. operations to a joint venture backed by Oracle, Silver Lake, and MGX. (Oracle serves as the security partner for the new joint venture, while previous owner ByteDance retains a 19.9% stake.) The DOJ memo reportedly says President Donald Trump has cleared “employees of Executive Branch agencies” to “download TikTok onto their official devices, subject ​to the agency’s discretion and consistent with all applicable workplace policies.” Following the ban focused on government employees and devices, the app was banned more broadly across the United States. But just as the law took effect early last year, the app only went down briefly before Trump repeatedly delayed the move and urged service providers to restore access.

India’s first privately developed orbital-class rocket Vikram-1 set for July 18 lift-off

The long-awaited launch of the proposed Bengaluru – Mumbai Vande Bharat Sleeper service has once again come into focus, with railway passenger groups calling on the Union government to expedite the introduction of the premium overnight train.Adding to the anticipation, two Vande Bharat Sleeper trainsets intended for the proposed service are currently stationed at the Krantivira Sangolli Rayanna (KSR) Bengaluru City Railway Station. The trainsets, built by BEML, have been moved to the coaching yard, where they are undergoing preliminary inspections and other pre-commissioning checks before entering passenger service.Despite the arrival of the rakes in Bengaluru, railway officials indicated that a few procedural matters are still pending before the trains can be introduced.Not handed over yetOfficials from the South Western Railway (SWR) said the trainsets have not yet been formally handed over to the Indian Railways by BEML, and therefore cannot be commissioned for commercial operations at this stage.“The Vande Bharat Sleeper trainsets presently stationed at KSR Bengaluru City Railway Station are yet to be officially handed over by BEML to the Indian Railways. Until the formal transfer process is completed and all the mandatory technical and operational clearances are obtained, the trains cannot be inducted into regular passenger service. In addition, the final decision on the routes these trainsets will operate is still under consideration,” SWR officials said.Railway officials said that the final operating corridor for the two trainsets has not yet been confirmed. However, the proposed Bengaluru – Mumbai Vande Bharat Sleeper is expected to run via Solapur and Kalaburagi, bringing down the travel time between the two cities to nearly 15 hours, considerably faster than many existing overnight services.Earlier, Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw had indicated that the Bengaluru – Mumbai Vande Bharat Sleeper service was expected to be introduced soon. The train is expected to provide a faster and more comfortable overnight travel option, strengthening rail connectivity between Karnataka and Maharashtra while benefiting passengers travelling from both the southern and northern parts of the State.Concern over delayRailway activists, however, have expressed concern over the delay in the rollout.K.N. Krishna Prasad, a railway activist and the founder of the Karnataka Railway Vedike, said that passengers have been eagerly waiting for the announcement to translate into reality. “For several months, people have been hearing that the Bengaluru – Mumbai Vande Bharat Sleeper is on the verge of launch, yet there has been no concrete progress. Once a new service is announced and the trainsets are ready, the process should move forward without prolonged delays.”“Every postponement creates uncertainty among passengers who are looking forward to a faster overnight connection, and it weakens public confidence in such announcements. We hope the remaining formalities are completed quickly so the service can begin at the earliest,” he added.Nearly six years after the introduction of India’s first Vande Bharat Express in 2019, the country’s first commercial Vande Bharat Sleeper service commenced operations on January 22, 2026. Operated by the Northeast Frontier Railway, the inaugural train connects Kamakhya (Guwahati) and Howrah, covering a distance of about 972 km in nearly 14 hours.The Vande Bharat Sleeper has been developed for overnight travel on routes spanning 800 km to 1,200 km. Over time, it is expected to replace conventional premium long-distance trains, including the Rajdhani Express, on selected corridors by offering faster journeys and upgraded onboard comfort. Each 16-coach Vande Bharat Sleeper train consists of 11 Third AC (3AC) coaches, four Second AC (2AC) coaches and one First AC (1AC) coach, with a total carrying capacity of 823 passengers. The seating capacity includes 611 berths in 3AC, 188 in 2AC, and 24 in 1AC.The fully a
