      <description><![CDATA[The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a nationwide ground stop on all departing flights on November 13, 2026, due to a telecommunications outage affecting all Air Route Traffic Control Centers. The disruption, attributed to overloaded legacy network equipment, led to over 11,000 flight cancellations and delays impacting more than 1.5 million passengers. Officials, including the Department of Homeland Security, ruled out cyberattacks or malicious intent. The ground stop lasted over four hours before flights gradually resumed, with recovery expected to take several days amid concerns over aging air traffic infrastructure.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[In the fourth ODI at Mount Maunganui, New Zealand defeated India by 244 runs after bowling them out for 89 while chasing 334. New Zealand's Matt Henry took six wickets, including a rare triple-wicket maiden in the opening over that dismissed India's top three batsmen—Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Shreyas Iyer—all for ducks. Will Young scored a century to set up New Zealand's total. India struggled with seam movement on a pitch that changed between innings, and despite some resistance from the middle order, they could not recover from the early collapse.]]></description>

The outage, lasting over 12 hours, exposed vulnerabilities in cloud reliance and caused operational delays worldwide, including in Bengaluru's tech sector. Microsoft attributed the issue to server failures and increased load, with recovery efforts ongoing. Mainland China remained largely unaffected due to its separate cloud infrastructure and data localization policies.

      <description><![CDATA[India's merchandise exports reached a record high of $49.47 billion in October 2026, marking a 45% year-on-year increase, driven by strong shipments of petroleum products, electronics, and engineering goods. Despite this growth, imports surged to $89.35 billion, up 16.5%, largely due to higher crude oil prices and festive-season demand, widening the merchandise trade deficit to $39.88 billion, a one-year high. However, including services trade, the overall trade deficit narrowed to $20.09 billion, supported by a services trade surplus. Efforts to diversify export markets and new trade agreements contributed to export growth amid global energy market uncertainties.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Dubai Airports suspended SpiceJet's check-in services at Dubai International Airport on November 12 due to unpaid dues of approximately AED 14 million (around Rs 35.8 crore). This led to the cancellation of four flights to Amritsar, Jaipur, Mumbai, and Delhi, while two flights to Ahmedabad and Delhi operated before the suspension. The Dubai Civil Aviation Authority summoned SpiceJet's station manager amid the dispute. SpiceJet acknowledged the issue and stated it is working with authorities to resolve the payment matter.
