      <description><![CDATA[US President Donald Trump has extended the $100,000 fee on certain H-1B visa applications for another year, keeping the policy in place until September 21, 2027. The fee, introduced in 2025, targets employers seeking to hire skilled foreign workers, particularly in the technology sector, and aims to reduce reliance on lower-paid foreign labor. Alongside the extension, Trump signed an executive order directing federal agencies to scrutinize H-1B applications from employers who have recently laid off or plan to lay off similarly situated US workers. The fee and new oversight measures face ongoing legal challenges, with courts reviewing their legality. Indian professionals remain the largest group affected by the H-1B program, which is critical for US tech companies seeking global talent. Advocacy groups support tighter scrutiny but caution against harming American innovation.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Ahead of their departure for the 2026 Asian Games in Nagoya, the Indian men's cricket team faced delays in receiving correctly sized official jerseys due to the need for two different kits—one for a friendly T20I against Japan and another for the Asian Games. Most sizing issues have been resolved, with remaining kits expected shortly. The team will wear their regular BCCI jersey for the Japan match on September 22 and switch to the Asian Games kit for the tournament starting September 28. Due to accommodation concerns and limited space for kit bags, the BCCI arranged separate lodging for the men's team, while the women's team stays in IOA-provided facilities. Some concerns about cricketing facilities at the Games venue were also noted.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Saudi Arabia issued its first air raid alert in Riyadh since renewed fighting with Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels escalated in July. Explosions were reported in the capital early Saturday, prompting residents to stay indoors until the alert was lifted. The Houthis claimed missile and drone strikes on Riyadh and Aramco facilities, while Saudi forces continued airstrikes in Yemen. The conflict has intensified along Yemen's Red Sea coast, threatening Saudi oil exports through the Bab al-Mandab Strait and causing disruptions near Riyadh's airport. No casualties were reported in Riyadh, though a drone debris incident in Taif killed one and injured others. The UN Security Council condemned the escalation and called for efforts to prevent further conflict expansion.]]></description>
