MS Dhoni has blamed the batters after Chennai Super Kings' (CSK) four-wicket loss against Punjab Kings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Wednesday. With the loss, the Dhoni-led CSK are now eliminated from the playoff race, The Times of India reported.

Sam Curran's 88 helped hosts CSK reach a competitive 190 all out, despite Punjab Kings' Yuzvendra Chahal taking a hat-trick. Curran (88 off 47 balls, including 9 fours and 4 sixes) found good support from Dewald Brevis (32 off 26 balls, including 2 fours and 1 six) as CSK put a fighting total on the board.

"Yes, a bit demanding from the batters, but I feel we could've got slightly more. I feel we need to take our catches," he said.

Dhoni showered praise on Curran and Brevis as they put on a 78-run fourth-wicket stand and turned up the heat on the PBKS bowling, according to The Times of India.

Speaker Devraj Ghimire has underscored the need for collaboration among all stakeholders to ensure social security, skill development of workers, technology-friendly environment, equal opportunities and dignified labour. 

Issuing a message on the occasion of the World Labor Day (May Day), he extended best wishes to all the workers, labour activists, and trade unions in Nepal, saying the issues of child labour, inequality between working men and women, opaque employment system and exploitation in foreign employment indicate need of a stronger policy and monitoring mechanism.

The Labor Day is a day of solidarity with our shared campaign towards building an inclusive, just and dignified society, Speaker Ghimire said the implementation of the law ensuring the rights of the workers was challenging. 

"The Constitution has institutionalized the rights of workers as the basis of economic and social justice. Article 34 guarantees the 'right to labor', which clearly stipulates the responsibility of the state on matters such as fair wages, safe and dignified labour environment and social security”, the message reads.

President Ram Chandra Paudel has stressed on enhancing production and productivity. 

In his message of best wishes on the occasion of the World Workers' Day today, he wished that the Day would inspire all to move towards ensuring the use of indigenous products, respect for labour, self-employment, fair remuneration and social security. 

He also extended best wishes for happiness, peace and prosperity to all Nepali working sisters and brothers at home and abroad. 

The President expressed the belief that the Labor Day would help unite all the working people of the world to protect their rights, interests, rights and freedoms. 

The Constitution has guaranteed the right to employment and labor for all citizens and the right to social security based on fair wages, facilities and contributions to every worker, the President said, adding that the right to equality has been ensured that there is no discrimination in wages and social security on the basis of gender for equal work. 

"I believe that the working class will also be benefited in the context of the constitutional provision taking shape to build a socialism-oriented economy based on democracy in the country", the message reads. 

The day is celebrated every year on May 1 as the historical day when the professional dignity and respect of the workers and their rights were established. 

Singer Katy Perry has admitted feeling "battered and bruised" by the backlash following her recent space trip, but reassured fans she is OK and would "keep looking to the light," BBC reported.

Writing two weeks after the much-derided Blue Origin voyage, which saw her take an 11-minute flight with five other women, the US star said the "online world" had tried to make her a "human Piñata".

Her comments came after fans paid for a billboard in New York to show their support for her ahead of her world tour. 

Responding to a fan account that posted a video of the billboard, Perry said she was "so grateful" for her fans, adding they were "in this beautiful and wild journey together," according to BBC.

Meta warned Wednesday that European users could face a "materially worse" experience following a key regulatory decision by the European Commission, BBC reported.

Meta recently introduced a "consent or pay" model which leaves users to choose between paying for a monthly subscription or letting Meta combine data it has collected on Facebook and Instagram.

Last week, the European Commision - the EU's executive - announced it had decided that the model does not comply with the Digital Markets Act (DMA) and fined Meta €200m (£171m).

"Based on feedback from the EC in connection with the DMA, we expect we will need to make some modifications to our model," Meta said in its quarterly earnings statement, according to BBC.

A United States judge has ordered the release of Columbia University student and pro-Palestine protester Mohsen Mahdawi as a case challenging his deportation proceeds, Aljazeera reported.

In Burlington, Vermont, on Wednesday, US District Judge Geoffrey Crawford ruled Mahdawi could leave the Northwest State Correctional Facility, where he had been held since immigration officials arrested him earlier this month.

Mahdawi walked out of the court with both hands in the air, flashing peace signs as supporters greeted him with cheers.

As he spoke, he shared a message for President Donald Trump, whose administration has led a crackdown on student protesters who have denounced Israel’s war in Gaza, according to Aljazeera.

The Italian side raced into a two-goal lead with superb strikes from Marcus Thuram and Denzel Dumfries, before the unstoppable Lamine Yamal pulled Barca back into it with a sublime solo effort, AFP reported.

Ferran Torres levelled for the five-time champions and although Inter nosed ahead through Dumfries again, a Yann Sommer own goal left the tie on a knife-edge at the halfway stage.

"Letting in that many goals (here) is unacceptable, but we also have to give Inter credit, they did very well," said Raphinha, whose fierce drive forced the own goal.

"The important thing is we leave with a result where everything can happen."

Despite losing three domestic games in a row and seeing their treble hopes crumble, Inter showed resilience and quality in Catalonia, according to AFP.
