The Indian domestic season will be back after a period of 10 months. Both Punjab and Uttar Pradesh have some star-studded lineups. Mandeep Singh will lead Punjab, who have a good bowling outfit comprising of the likes of Sandeep Sharma, Mayank Markande, Siddharth Kaul and Arshdeep Singh. Uttar Pradesh will be led by young Priyam Garg. Suresh Raina and Bhuvneshwar Kumar are likely to be included in the squad and this could prove to be a terrific contest between two well-balanced sides....

Sergey Surovikin, who in October became the new commander of Russia’s forces in Ukraine, said his soldiers would be moving back to the Dnieper River. “It is expedient to organize defense along the barrier line of the Dnieper River, along its left bank,” Surovikin said, according to Kremlin-backed media organization RIA Novosti. “The decision to [go] on defending the left bank of the Dnieper did not come easily, but at the same time we will preserve the lives of our soldiers and the combat capability of the troop group....

In the aftermath of Russia’s annexation of Crimea, a number of countries, including the U.S. and Canada, and the European Union, imposed measures on Moscow in April 2014 targeting Russian officials and businesses. They included freezing accounts and restricting the country’s ability to borrow money. In response, Putin approved tit-for-tat measures in August 2014 which banned imports of a number of food products from the U.S., the EU, Norway, Australia, and Canada....

NEWSWEEK: Where is the biggest challenge for American foreign policy: the Middle East, Asia, Europe, Africa? Anne-Marie Slaughter: I think the biggest overall challenge is managing the rise of Asia in a way that harnesses the benefits and avoids potential conflicts and major disruptions—to global institutions, global financial stability and/or local conflicts that could drag others down. Taiwan, obviously, is one big example, but also Tibet, where the combination of domestic political pressures and external events can suddenly present leaders with situations that could get out of hand if they’re not very carefully handled....

NEWSWEEK: What lessons from the 1997-98 Asian financial crisis apply to the America’s subprime-mortgage mess today? Sri Mulyani Indrawati: There are similarities. The inability to assess risk has disguised risk. Credit and liquidity have expanded in such a way that they no longer reflect actual exposure. And there is a reluctance to recognize losses when they occur. The lesson from the Asian financial crisis is that when [corrective] decisions are made fast and the [policy] prescriptions are potent, a severe or prolonged crisis can be prevented....

What’s wrong with the current legal drinking age of 21? It has driven drinking off campus, behind closed doors and underground, into dark corners where it can’t be supervised or managed and where responsible drinking can’t be modeled. Binge drinking is this generation’s protest of an unjust law. That’s a rather sympathetic view of binge drinkers. If I shake my finger in your face often enough, and say to you, “Your brain’s not fully matured, your judgment is incomplete, you are still a child when it comes to alcohol,” why should I be surprised when I get infantile behavior?...

“He regrets very, very much having not just been duped by the president but by being in a position where he allowed that duping to put him in a position to make decisions he should not have made,” Albert Watkins, a lawyer for Chansley, told Missouri’s NBC-affiliated television station KSDK. Chansley has become one of the most recognizable faces of the riot, largely because of his appearance. The 33-year-old Arizona native went viral after being photographed bare-chested and wearing a fur hat with horns while carrying an American flag....

The still-tentative agreement between Qatar and Saudi Arabia to reopen political relations and closed borders after four years is part of the Trump administration’s priority to reduce friction among its allies. The goal is to decrease the possibility that American forces will waste time and capability putting out smaller fires, thus leaving them in a better position to deal with broader issues: cybersecurity, improving readiness, boosting NATO, countering China and not participating in civil wars in the Middle East, Southwest Asia, and Africa....
