### The Rivalry Continues
Sinner-Alcaraz rivalry is set to dominate men's tennis for the foreseeable future. Since the start of 2024, they have won all seven Grand Slams on offer, Sinner four and Alcaraz three. This was a superlative display of craft and skill from Sinner, who picked apart Alcaraz's game with a level of tennis his opponent could not match.
### Redemption for Sinner
Sinner arrived at three match points in the fourth set but showed remarkable composure to take the next four points. He survived a huge test of his nerve at 4-3, 15-40 when a break may have re-ignited Alcaraz. This was a shot at redemption for Sinner after losing to Alcaraz in Paris.
### A New Era
With this win, Sinner joins an elite group of players who have won all four Grand Slam titles. He would now hold all four if he hadn't benefited from Grigor Dimitrov's retirement while two sets up in the fourth round. Sinner barely put a foot wrong after that point on.
### Conclusion
Sinner's victory was a testament to his skill and mental toughness. This win marks the beginning of a new era for Italian tennis, with Sinner as its leader. The rivalry between Sinner and Alcaraz will continue to captivate fans around the world, pushing both players to greater heights.

Jannik Sinner on Sunday banished his demons at Roland Garros to seal a 4-6 6-4 6-4 6-4 victory and become the first Italian Wimbledon singles champion.

The memory of what happened five weeks ago in Paris was flashing through the minds of everyone inside Centre Court.

Everyone, perhaps, except world number one Sinner, who managed to banish any lurking demons from the darkest recesses of his brain.

This was after Sinner arrived at three match points in the fourth set of his Wimbledon final against Carlos Alcaraz on Sunday.

Just as on the Parisian clay, 23-year-old Sinner was the better player for long periods. Just as at Roland Garros he had the title in his hands.

But unlike that day when three consecutive match points vanished in the fourth set and Alcaraz roared back to win the longest French Open final ever, this time the ice-cool Sinner was never going to be denied.

Alcaraz, who was bidding to become the only fifth man in the professional era to win three successive Wimbledon titles under the watchful eye of Spain's King Felipe in the Royal Box, saved one match point.

But this time there was no escape for Alcaraz as Sinner fired down an unreturnable serve.

There were no ecstatic celebrations either. Sinner raised his arms to the sky, before consoling the man he de-throned and headed off in time-honoured fashion to embrace those in his box.

"Back in the days when I was young, this was only a dream, because it was so far away from where I'm from," the man from the Dolomites who could have become a top skier, said on court.

"Emotionally I had a very tough loss in Paris. So I'm very happy that I held my nerves and yeah, it's an amazing feeling."

It was Sinner's fourth Grand Slam trophy and his first title since returning from a short doping ban.

This was after testing positive for a banned substance which inadvertently entered his system from a member of his support team through massages and sports therapy.

While Sunday's duel contained some mind-boggling points, it lacked the twists of last month's Roland Garros roller-coaster.

It did, though, underline why the Sinner-Alcaraz rivalry is set to dominate men's tennis for the foreseeable future.

Since the start of the 2024, they have won all seven of the Grand Slams on offer, Sinner four and Alcaraz three.

Alcaraz had led their series 8-4 before Sunday, including winning their last five showdowns. So while Sinner was fuelled by a shot at redemption, he also needed to buck that trend.

He did so with a superlative display of craft and skill.

He refused to be knocked off track by losing the last four games of the first set and went on to pick apart Alcaraz's game with a level of tennis his opponent could not match.

"Every time we play against each other, I think our level is really high," Alcaraz, who suffered his first loss in six Grand Slam finals, said.

"I don't see any players playing against each other, having the level that we are playing.

"Really grateful for this (rivalry) because it gives me the opportunity to give my 100 per cent every practice, every day. The level I have to maintain if I want to beat Jannik is really high."

But for Alcaraz's astonishing comeback in Paris, Sinner would now hold all four Grand Slam titles, having won last year's U.S. Open and a second Australian Open in January.

Sinner did benefit from a stroke of luck when Grigor Dimitrov retired while two sets up in the fourth round.

"He caught a break, no question," his coach Darren Cahill admitted.

But from that point on, Sinner barely put a foot wrong.

Alcaraz, below his best, was always vulnerable to Sinner's crisp, early ball-striking but still hit back from a slow start.

He clinched the first set with a stretching backhand sliced winner from an impossible position.

Sinner grabbed an early break in the second though and consolidated it despite a bizarre moment when a Champagne cork popping and landed on the court -- prompting loud boos.

Just as Alcaraz sealed the opening set in style, Sinner produced a moment of magic to take the second, whipping an audacious forehand winner at full elastic stretch.

The third set felt crucial and after a lull it was Alcaraz who blinked, dropping serve at 4-4 after a slide and slip on the baseline allowed Sinner to guide away a winner.

Sinner held serve to move one set from history but after what happened in Paris, the finishing line still felt far away.

But the usual Alcaraz exuberance was missing and he was scowling after Sinner clubbed away a backhand winner off a short second serve to gain an early break in the fourth.

The Spaniard's mood darkened as Sinner held serve for 4-2 lead with a net cord.

Sinner survived a huge test of his nerve at 4-3, 15-40 when a break may have re-ignited Alcaraz but he showed remarkable composure to take the next four points.

The biggest examination came at 5-4 though with Sinner obliged to serve for the title and he passed it with barely a backward glance.

In the day's appetiser, eighth seeds Veronika Kudermetova and Elise Mertens beat Hsieh Su-wei and Jelena Ostapenko 3-6 6-2 6-4 in the women's doubles final.

# Twin Bridge Project Causes Continued Traffic Delays in Mississauga
![title](https://api.nakmo.net/media/images/zQi79esKCZq9-1e22a622-5bb8-441b-a547-e304cc339ee775-medium_webp.webp)

## Major Highway Work Continues Amid Lane Closures and Noise
The QEW in Mississauga is facing continued traffic delays as crews work on a new twin bridge over the Credit River. The lane closures, alternating between westbound and eastbound lanes, will be in place from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. until the end of Tuesday (July 15).
---
- Lane closures will continue far beyond this week due to consistent weekly disruptions.
- Overnight construction activities may cause noise.
- Weather conditions may reschedule lane closures.
[adsense]
---
### Impact on Residents and Drivers
The twin bridge project, which began three years ago, has been plagued by delays. The recent discovery of Indigenous artifacts near the work site has further slowed progress until archeologists can properly excavate the area. The $313.8-million project aims to rehabilitate the existing 840-ft.-long bridge.
### History and Timeline
The project was first studied in 2013, with initial plans calling for demolition of the existing bridge. However, public outcry led to a change in plan, deciding instead to rehabilitate the existing span. Construction began in 2021/22 by EllisDon Corp. and Coco Paving Inc.
### Road Closures
One lane on Premium Way will be closed from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekdays through July 31 due to related work on the QEW.
---
Traffic disruptions are expected during the lane closures, with two-way traffic maintained under flagging conditions at all times. Access to Dickson Road and Lynchmere Avenue will also remain available.
The completion date for the major bridge project remains unknown, but officials expect continued delays as they navigate through the complex construction process.

Traffic delays on and near the QEW in Mississauga continue as work progresses on a new twin bridge over the Credit River and other highway improvements.

One or two westbound and eastbound lanes (alternating) of the major highway between Hurontario Street and Erin Mills Parkway will shut down to traffic at various times between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m. through the end of Tuesday (July 15), according to an email update from officials with the QEW/Credit River Improvement Project overseeing the major bridge project and other related work.

Those lane closures are likely to continue far beyond this week as they've been in place consistently from week to week over the past year or longer.

Project leaders noted traffic disruptions are anticipated during the lane closures and the overnight construction activities may cause noise as well. Additionally, they said, the closures depend on the weather and may be rescheduled if necessary.

Meanwhile, a section of a busy road beside the QEW in Mississauga will remain partially closed to traffic on weekdays through at least the end of the month.

One lane on Premium Way will be shut down on weekdays between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. through July 31. The same traffic restriction was in place the entirety of each of the last four months as well.

The closure on the east-west route is in effect between Stavebank Road and Lynchmere Avenue, project leaders said, adding area residents and drivers can expect traffic disruptions until the work is complete.

Premium Way runs north of and parallel to the QEW, just west of Hurontario Street.

Officials noted two-way traffic will be maintained under flagging conditions at all times during the lane closure and access to Dickson Road and Lynchmere Avenue will be maintained as well.

Other temporary ramp and lane closures in place include:

Lane closures and other restrictions have been commonplace since 2022 both on the QEW and on nearby roads due to the massive bridge project that began three years ago.

No specific completion date for the major bridge work has been provided by project leaders.

The recent discovery of Indigenous artifacts near the bridge work site has delayed some tasks until the area can be properly excavated by archeologists.

The $313.8-million project is being completed by EllisDon Corp. and Coco Paving Inc. They were awarded the contract in late 2020 and work began in 2021/22.

The project, first studied by Ontario's Ministry of Transportation in 2013, initially called for demolition of the existing 840-ft.-long bridge, which was built in 1934 and expanded in 1960.

However, public outcry and strong opposition from Mississauga city council in late 2019 changed the provincial government's mind and it was decided the existing span, located just east of Mississauga Road, would instead be rehabilitated.

# NFL's Top Quarterback Rankings Expose Texans' C.J. Stroud's Struggle
![title](https://api.nakmo.net/media/images/zQi79esKCZq9-1e22a622-5bb8-441b-a547-e304cc339ee775-medium_webp.webp)
## Surprise Omission: Texans' Signal Caller Receives Honorable Mention in QB Poll
With NFL Training Camps on the horizon, ESPN gathered input from league executives, coaches, and scouts to rank the top players at 11 different positions. When it came to the top quarterbacks, Houston Texans' third-year signal caller C.J. Stroud found himself on the outside looking in.
---
- Received honorable mention alongside Green Bay Packers' Jordan Love.
- Ranked lower than expected despite strong rookie season.
- NFL coaches and executives cite protection issues as a key factor.
[adsense]
---
### Key Factors Behind Stroud's Dip
Stroud's production took a noticeable dip from his rookie campaign to last season. In 2023, the former Ohio State star threw for 4,108 yards and 23 touchdowns to go with only five interceptions in 15 games. Last season, across 17 contests, Stroud totaled 3,727 yards, 20 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions.
### Expectations for Improvement
Not only will Stroud have a rebuilt offensive line this fall, but he's also welcoming new offensive coordinator Nick Caley, who is expected to give Stroud more control of Houston's offense this season. As Fowler noted, "While his production was down from the previous year in most categories, Stroud had to overcome issues with Houston's offense in 2024. Most doubters expect him back in the top 10 next year."
### Long-Term Outlook
Despite missing the top 10 this year, the framework of what made Stroud great during his rookie season is still there. As an NFL quarterbacks coach told ESPN, "It can all tie together. But the framework of what made him great his rookie year is still there ... Such a natural thrower of the football with elite ball placement." With Caley's new approach and an improved offense, Stroud is poised to bounce back in 2024.
### Conclusion
The omission of C.J. Stroud from ESPN's top quarterback rankings highlights the challenges he faced last season. However, with a rebuilt line and a fresh start under new coordinator Nick Caley, fans can expect Stroud to regain his footing in 2024 and potentially return to the top 10.

With NFL Training Camps right around the corner, ESPN recently asked league executives, coaches, and scouts to help them rank the Top 10 player at 11 different positions.

When it came to the Top 10 quarterbacks in the league, Houston Texans' third-year signal caller C.J. Stroud found himself on the outside looking in, receiving honorable mention alongside Green Bay Packers' Jordan Love.

"The voting for spots eight through 11 was close." ESPN''s Jeremy Fowler wrote. "Stroud appeared on nearly half the ballots but struggled to capture the same momentum that landed him in the No. 7 spot after his rookie year." Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff checked in at No. 8 on the list, Philadelphia Eagles' Jalen Hurts at No. 9, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield No. 10.

Stroud's production took a noticeable dip from his rookie campaign to last season.

In 2023, the former Ohio State star threw for 4,108 yards and 23 touchdowns to go with only five interceptions in 15 games. Last season, across 17 contests, Stroud totaled 3,727 yards, 20 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. He was also sacked 52 times last season, compared to 38 the previous year.

"That can affect your confidence when the protection and the playcalling around you isn't great," an NFL quarterbacks coach told ESPN. "It can all tie together. But the framework of what made him great his rookie year is still there ... Such a natural thrower of the football with elite ball placement."

Not only will Stroud have a rebuilt offensive line this fall, but he's also welcoming new offensive coordinator Nick Caley, who is expected give Stroud more control of Houston's offense this season.

"While his production was down from the previous year in most categories, Stroud had to overcome issues with Houston's offense in 2024. Most doubters expect him back in the top 10 next year." Fowler wrote.

As far as ESPN's other positional rankings, Houston's Joe Mixon (No. 9) was among the top 10 running backs, while Will Anderson Jr. (No. 8) and Danielle Hunter (No. 9) each made the edge rushers list. The rankings continue this week with off-ball linebackers (July 15), weide receivers (July 16), and cornerbacks (July 17).

### Conclusion
The recent ICE raid that led to the capture of Melvin Varela Perez underscores the complexities surrounding immigration and gang activity in the U.S. It also showcases the critical role played by law enforcement agencies and international cooperation in combating these issues. As the U.S. continues to grapple with immigration policies, this case serves as a reminder of the importance of effective collaboration and information sharing between local, federal, and international authorities.

Omaha Mayor John Ewing, Police and other officials respond after ICE raid on Tuesday at an Omaha meatpacking plant.

The man who ICE called an "MS-13 kingpin" after an Omaha-area arrest last week entered the country illegally in 2016 and admitted to being a gang member, court documents reveal.

Court documents reviewed by The World-Herald of Omaha say that 50-year-old Melvin Varela Perez also had at least one previous encounter with law enforcement in Nebraska: In 2023, Valera Perez pleaded guilty to driving without a license in Platte County.

Court documents say that Varela Perez had an expired Texas driver's license at the time.

ICE did not directly identify Valera Perez, saying that the arrest was part of an ongoing investigation.

But his full name appeared in a video posted by the White House, and in an X post from Florida Rep. Byron Donalds. The Douglas County Sheriff's Office also used Valera Perez's name in an email to the media on Friday about an I-80 traffic stop that set in motion the arrest.

Valera Perez was taken into ICE custody Wednesday in Council Bluffs, Iowa, in an arrest celebrated by Nebraska politicians and the White House.

Federal authorities say that Varela Perez is one of the 100 most-wanted fugitives in El Salvador and that he's wanted in that country on charges of aggravated homicide of five victims, attempted aggravated homicide, deprivation of liberty and terrorist organization affiliation.

Federal court documents reviewed by The World-Herald say that Valera Perez admitted to being an MS-13 gang member to a U.S. Border Patrol agent on Sept. 22, 2016, at the Sarita, Texas, U.S. Customs and Border Protection Checkpoint, after entering the country illegally a few days earlier through the Mexican border.

He pleaded guilty to entering the U.S. illegally and was turned over to the U.S Marshals.

A Douglas County Sheriff's Office traffic stop on July 6 of Rene Saul Escobar Ochoa, 30, a known associate of Valera Perez, led to their arrests.

The Sheriff's Office said in a press release Friday that Deputy Matthew Baber, along with his police dog, Jing, stopped Escobar Ochoa driving eastbound in a blue pickup truck near the 42nd Street exit on I-80 in Omaha.

Spencer Head, a spokesperson for the Sheriff's Office, said the blue pickup was merging without using a turn signal.

The Sheriff's Office said Baber "felt something wasn't quite right" during the traffic stop.

Head said Baber's feeling stemmed from Escobar Ochoa giving the deputy answers that "just didn't seem to add up."

Head declined to go into specifics, saying the information was "law enforcement sensitive." He said Escobar Ochoa presented a Texas driver's license to Baber.

The Sheriff's Office said Baber ran Escobar Ochoa's information through a federal database. The results showed that Escobar Ochoa was on an MS-13 watchlist.

Head said local and state law enforcement, including the Sheriff's Office, don't have the legal authority to arrest someone on a federal watchlist.

Additionally, since Escobar Ochoa was pulled over for a minor traffic violation, the deputy didn't have the legal authority to arrest him.

Baber released Escobar Ochoa and relayed the information to the Nebraska Information Analysis Center, run by the State Patrol and federal law enforcement officials.

Cody Thomas, a Nebraska State Patrol spokesperson, said the Nebraska Information Analysis Center developed information regarding "a known criminal illegal alien" in Omaha and shared it with Homeland Security.

"The NIAC Fusion Center is connected with law enforcement entities worldwide and works to quickly disseminate crucial information to keep communities safe in Nebraska and beyond," he said.

That ultimately led to ICE agents arresting Escobar Ochoa in North Omaha and Varela Perez in Council Bluffs, Iowa, on Wednesday.

Escobar Ochoa is wanted in El Salvador for allegedly giving orders to fellow gang members to commit a variety of crimes, including multiple homicides, extortion, imprisonment and drug trafficking.

An ICE press release said U.S. Border Patrol first encountered him in 2023, and he was allowed to remain in the country.

As of July 12, Escobar Ochoa was being held at the Dakota County Jail, just south of South Sioux City, Nebraska.

Varela Perez is being held at the Hardin County Correctional Center in Iowa, about 80 miles north of Des Moines.

ICE said both men are in the country illegally and are coordinating with El Salvadoran authorities to deport them.

# Financial Ombudsman Rebuked by MPs Over Handling of Ex-Chief's Dismissal
![title](https://api.nakmo.net/media/images/zQi79esKCZq9-1e22a622-5bb8-441b-a547-e304cc339ee775-medium_webp.webp)
## Scrutiny and Secrecy: A Conflict in the Financial Sector
The departing chairwoman of Britain's financial ombudsman, Baroness Manzoor, has been accused by MPs of a "disrespectful" refusal to face scrutiny over the dismissal of its former chief executive. In a report published on Monday, the Commons Treasury Committee criticised her for declining to answer questions about the ousting of Abby Thomas from her role in February.
---
- The committee's report highlighted the dispute between the FOS Board and Ms Thomas regarding strategy and operations.
- Baroness Manzoor refused to provide details of any severance deal or financial package negotiated with Ms Thomas.
- The Treasury Committee chairwoman, Dame Meg Hillier, expressed disappointment at the senior leadership's handling of the situation.
[adsense]
---
### Lack of Transparency
The committee's report noted that despite the FOS complying with an order to submit details of any severance deal, it refused to publish them. This decision was made due to concerns about balancing transparency against fairness to individuals. However, this stance has been criticised by MPs as unnecessary and disrespectful.
### Implications for Accountability
Dame Meg Hillier's statement highlights the importance of accountability in the financial sector. She expressed hope that the outcome would send a clear message to organisations considering similar actions in the future: that Members of the House of Commons will have answers to their questions on behalf of the British public.
### Response from Baroness Manzoor
In response to the criticism, Baroness Manzoor maintained her commitment to providing open and transparent evidence but acknowledged rare instances where this may be difficult, particularly when it relates to employment matters.

The departing chairwoman of Britain's financial ombudsman has been accused by MPs of a "disrespectful" refusal to face scrutiny over the dismissal of its former chief executive.

In a report published on Monday, the Commons Treasury Committee criticised Baroness Manzoor for declining to answer its questions about the ousting of Abby Thomas from her role in February.

The peer and chairwoman had been asked by MPs to explain why Ms Thomas had stepped down from her role as chief executive of the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) and whether any severance package was agreed.

I'm afraid that the handling of this situation by the senior leadership of the Financial Ombudsman Service has been deeply disappointing Treasury Committee chairwoman Dame Meg Hillier

She declined to do so, saying only that the move had been a "mutual agreement" and citing her "duties to safeguard the wellbeing of our employees" and "protect the interests" of the ombudsman service.

In a letter to the committee on February 19, Baroness Manzoor claimed that "as a member of the House of Lords, I cannot be required either to attend before the committee, or or to answer its questions," the report says.

In Monday's report, MPs said that "although this argument was strictly true" because Commons committees have no power to compel the Lords, "it was unnecessary and disrespectful".

Abby Thomas left her role in February(Alamy/PA)

Following Baroness Manzoor's letter, the committee ordered the FOS to submit details of any severance deal or financial package and any confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement negotiated between the service and Ms Thomas.

Although the FOS complied with the order, the committee has not published the details, claiming its decision not to do so reflects "our awareness of the need to balance transparency against fairness to individuals."

In its report, the committee sums up the reason for Ms Thomas' dismissal as a "collapse in confidence" driven by "fundamental disagreements" over strategy and operations between the board and the former chief executive.

"This collapse in confidence covered a broad range of issues and was not driven by a single event or topic," it says.

"The mutual collapse in confidence led the FOS Board to dismiss Abby Thomas."

Treasury Committee chairwoman Dame Meg Hillier said the service's failure to block Commons scrutiny should send a "clear message" to others seeking to frustrate the process.

"I'm afraid that the handling of this situation by the senior leadership of the Financial Ombudsman Service has been deeply disappointing," she said.

"The attempt to frustrate a House of Commons Committee from scrutinising the actions of a publicly accountable organisation ultimately proved unsuccessful.

"I hope this sends a clear message to any organisation considering similar action in future that Members of the House of Commons will have answers to the questions they ask on behalf of the British public, whether senior officials attempt to block them or not."

Baroness Manzoor said: "I highly value the Treasury Select Committee and the important role it plays in holding the financial sector to account.

"I am committed to providing open and transparent evidence to the committee, but there are rare instances when that can be difficult - particularly when it relates to employment matters.

"I have always treated the committee with the utmost seriousness and respect, and I know the Financial Ombudsman Service will continue to work closely with them in the future."

# Bengaluru's Long-Delayed Ejipura Flyover Nears Completion
![title](https://api.nakmo.net/media/images/zQi79esKCZq9-1e22a622-5bb8-441b-a547-e304cc339ee775-medium_webp.webp)

## Time for Relief on City's Congested Roads
After nearly eight years of slow progress, the city's much-delayed Ejipura flyover project is finally moving at a brisk pace. With 60% of the construction now complete, BBMP has set an ambitious goal of completing the 2.5km flyover by the end of this year.
---
- **Key Points:**
- The contract was originally given to Simplex Infrastructure in 2017 but faced repeated delays and missed deadlines.
- A new contractor, BSCPCL Pvt Ltd from Hyderabad, was awarded the remaining work with a 15-month timeline in November 2023.
- The cost to complete the remaining construction is now set at Rs 176.1 crore, Rs 48 crore higher than the original estimate.
[adsense]
---
- **Detailed Analysis:**
### A Brief History of Delays
The Ejipura flyover project has been plagued by delays since its inception in 2017. Despite a contract deadline of Nov 2019, Simplex managed to finish only 42.8% of the project within five years. The urban development department eventually terminated the company's contract on March 3, 2022, and seized the security deposit of Rs 10.16 crore.
### New Contractor Brings Hope
In November 2023, Hyderabad-based BSCPCL Pvt Ltd submitted a bid and was awarded the remaining work with a 15-month timeline. This change in contractor has brought new hope to the project's completion, with BBMP confident of delivering it by the end of this year.
### Land Acquisition Remains a Challenge
One of the final challenges is the acquisition of 5,999 sq metres of land near St John's Medical College and hostel, required to complete the structure. "We are in discussions with the hospital authorities," said Raghavendra Prasad, chief engineer, quality control division, BBMP.
### Impact on City's Congested Roads
The flyover aims to make seven major junctions signal-free, thereby significantly improving travel times across one of the most congested areas of the city. Upon completion, it will transform mobility across the Koramangala-Ejipura-Madivala corridor.

- **Conclusion:**
After nearly eight years of delays and setbacks, Bengaluru's Ejipura flyover project is finally moving towards completion. With 60% of the construction complete and a new contractor on board, BBMP is confident of delivering it by the end of this year. The completion of this project will bring significant relief to commuters who travel through one of the city's most congested areas.

Bengaluru: After nearly eight years of slow progress, the city's much-delayed Ejipura flyover project is finally moving at a brisk pace. With 60% of the construction now complete, BBMP has set an ambitious goal of completing the 2.5km flyover by the end of this year.The flyover, stretching from Ejipura Main Road (Inner Ring Road Junction) to Kendriya Sadan Junction, is intended to decongest the heavily burdened 100-Feet Road in Koramangala. The contract was originally given to Simplex Infrastructure in 2017, but the project was marked by repeated delays, missed deadlines, and multiple contractor issues.Raghavendra Prasad, chief engineer, quality control division, BBMP, stated, "After a prolonged impasse, we are now confident of delivering the project within this calendar year." According to him, nearly 70 out of 84 pillars are complete, with 325 of the necessary 762 segments already installed.Despite a contract deadline of Nov 2019, Simplex managed to finish only 42.8% of the project within five years, even after time extensions and incurring a penalty of Rs 2.5 crore. The urban development department eventually terminated the company's contract on March 3, 2022, and seized the security deposit of Rs 10.16 crore.BBMP floated fresh tenders three times, all of which went unanswered. In the fourth round, Hyderabad-based BSCPCL Pvt Ltd submitted a bid and was awarded the remaining work in Nov 2023, with a 15-month timeline.A senior BBMP official involved in the oversight mentioned, "Initially, there were coordination issues even with the new contractor. We had to issue two notices to BSCPCL, and the chief minister himself warned that delays would not be tolerated. That sent a strong message."The cost to complete the remaining construction, excluding GST, is now set at Rs 176.1 crore, which is Rs 48 crore higher than the original estimate. Payments totalling Rs 52.1 crore have already been released to BSCPCL by BBMP, tied to the project's physical progress.Down and up ramps are being constructed on the Madiwala-Ejipura side, and a loop towards Sarjapur is also underway. Upon completion, the flyover aims to make seven major junctions signal-free, thereby significantly improving travel times across one of the most congested areas of the city.One of the final challenges is the acquisition of 5,999 sq metres of land near St John's Medical College and hostel, required to complete the structure. "We are in discussions with the hospital authorities. Once that land is handed over, the final phase of construction will move faster. This flyover will transform mobility across the Koramangala-Ejipura-Madivala corridor," said Prasad.BBMP has also initiated the transplantation of 30-40 trees along the project alignment.

### A Tactical Masterclass by Enzo Maresca
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca gave a tactical masterclass, employing a relentless high press that caused PSG all sorts of trouble. When Chelsea couldn't regain possession, they sat deep and frustrated the European champions, who were unable to play their usual game.
Maresca's tactics emulated those used by Brazilian outfit Botafogo, who had beaten PSG 1-0 in the group stage. The direct and pacey football that Chelsea employed allowed them to pick apart the PSG defence, especially on the left side.
Palmer's performance was instrumental in Chelsea's victory. He scored twice in the first half, showcasing his skill and vision on the pitch.
### A Special Moment for Cole Palmer
In an interview with DAZN after the match, Palmer expressed his joy at winning the tournament: "It's a great feeling. Even better because everyone doubted us before the game, we knew that. To put a fight on like we did, it's good."
Palmer credited Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca for giving him the freedom to roam and create chances: "The gaffer put a great gameplan out. He knew where the space was going to be. He tried to free me up as much as possible and I just had to repay him and score some goals."
### A Well-Deserved Victory
Chelsea's win marks a significant achievement for the team, who arrived in the U.S. after winning Europe's third-tier Conference League and finishing fourth in the Premier League.
The victory also serves as a testament to Maresca's tactical acumen and ability to adapt his team's strategy to suit the opponent.
As Palmer said, "It's a great feeling" – and one that will be remembered by Chelsea fans for a long time.

Cole Palmer produced a scintillating first-half masterclass as Chelsea demolished a flat Paris St Germain 3-0 to win a one-sided FIFA Club World Cup final at New Jersey's MetLife Stadium on Sunday.

The English attacking midfielder scored twice and provided an assist for Joao Pedro in a devastating display in the revamped tournament's decider that left the European and French champions, who finished with 10 men, shell-shocked.

Chelsea, who won the 2021 Club World Cup in its previous format, struck first in the 22nd minute when PSG fullback Nuno Mendes gifted possession to Malo Gusto.

Gusto's initial effort was blocked by Mendes, but he collected the rebound and found Palmer unmarked in the middle and the midfielder made no mistake, slotting a tidy finish just inside the left post.

Palmer doubled the lead after the 30th minute cooling break with a goal of sublime quality. Latching onto a precise through ball from Levi Colwill, he cut inside before faking a pass to dummy a defender and firing into the bottom-left corner.

Palmer then turned provider, running up the channel before finding Joao Pedro, who took the ball in his stride and beat the offside trap before chipping his finish beautifully over keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.

PSG's misery was completed when Joao Neves was sent off for pulling Marc Cucurella's hair in the 83rd minute, as PSG's players grew in frustration as the match progressed.

The encounter turned into an ill-tempered match at the end, with players going at each other after the final whistle, but the flare-ups quickly dissipated as Chelsea's players went to celebrate with their fans.

"It's a great feeling. Even better because everyone doubted us before the game, we knew that. To put a fight on like we did, it's good," Palmer told DAZN.

"The gaffer put a great gameplan out. He knew where the space was going to be. He tried to free me up as much as possible and I just had to repay him and score some goals."

It's the penultimate day of the Wimbledon Championships 2025. It's a wonderful cast on Centre Court.

Chelsea arrived in the U.S. after winning Europe's third-tier Conference League and on the back of a domestic campaign in which they just managed a top-four Premier League finish.

Prior to the match, Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca said he was expecting a "game of chess" against PSG coach Luis Enrique, but it was a quick checkmate for the Italian who gave a tactical masterclass.

Maresca's team employed a relentless high press and emulated the tactics used by Brazilian outfit Botafogo, who had beaten PSG 1-0 in the group stage and were the only team to score against Luis Enrique's side in the previous eight games.

Their press caused PsG all sorts of trouble and when Maresca's side couldn't regain possession, they sat deep, frustrating the European champions, who were unable to play their usual game.

The direct and pacey football we had become used to seeing from PSG was Chelsea's game on Sunday, with Palmer, Gusto and Joao Pedro picking apart the PSG defence, especially on the left side.

Other than an early golden opportunity for PSG's Desire Doue that was wasted, the first half was all Chelsea's and, after they opened their three-goal lead, the French side could never recover.

## Destructive Blaze Sparks Evacuations and Emergency Response Efforts
The Placer Creek wildfire, located about 30 kilometres south of Princeton, has rapidly grown from an estimated 291 hectares on Saturday morning to over 725 hectares by Sunday afternoon. The BC Wildfire Service reports that the fire is showing Rank 2 to Rank 3 fire activity, with a "moderately vigorous surface fire" and a slow to moderate rate of spread.

### Increased Fire Activity Expected
According to Cassidy Martin, BCWS information officer, wildfire activity may increase at the two wildfires burning near Princeton due to rising temperatures. "As we see the temperature increasing a little bit over the mid parts of the day, that fire behaviour might increase a little bit," Martin said.
The August Lake wildfire has been burning near Princeton, with "minimal growth overnight" reported by BC Wildfire Service crews on Sunday morning. However, as the temperature rises, fire activity is expected to increase, and crews will be monitoring the situation to determine if more personnel are needed to respond to the Placer Creek fire.
### Emergency Response Efforts
A new emergency reception centre has been set up at the Princeton Annex located at 231 Bridge Street, where residents can contact for assistance. The evacuation orders and alerts in effect are as follows:
- Evacuation orders: south of Highway 3, west to Amber Hill Road / Darcy Mountain Road adjacent of Sewer Treatment Plant, east to Willies Ranch Road, Princeton Golf Club, and Taylor Mill Drive.
- Evacuation alerts: north of Highway 3 along the Similkameen River, south of Princeton Cemetery Road, east of Copper Mountain Road, west of Willie Ranch Road.

UPDATE 4:45 p.m.

The Placer Creek wildfire, about 30 kilometres south of Princeton, has substantially grown Sunday.

In an afternoon BC Wildfire Service update, the Eastgate wildfire had spread to 725 hectares from an estimated 291 hectares in the morning.

On Saturday, crews working on the Placer Creek fire were redirected to the August Lake fire, which has been burning closer to homes.

Sunday morning, BCWS told Castanet fire activity was to be expected to increase over the day as heat and wind would impact growth.

As of 3:40 p.m., 23 personnel were responding, heavy equipment, and a helicopter were on the southern fire.

The Placer Creek wildfire believed to have been human caused.

ORIGINAL 12:15 p.m.

Wildfire activity may pick up at the two wildfires burning near Princeton and the surrounding area due to rising temperatures.

Early Sunday morning, BC Wildfire Service crews reported Rank 1 to Rank 2 fire activity at the 14-hectare August Lake wildfire, burning near Princeton, with "minimal growth overnight."

"But as we see the temperature increasing a little bit over the mid parts of the day, that fire behaviour might increase a little bit, and we'll see more of Rank 2 fire behaviour. Still with a slower rate of spread, but a little bit more vigorous surface flame," said Cassidy Martin, BCWS information officer.

As of Sunday, 40 firefighters were on site, along with structure protection specialists, and three helicopters.

The Placer Creek wildfire, about 30 kilometres south of Princeton, has grown to an estimated 291 hectares, and is showing Rank 2 to Rank 3 fire activity, meaning a "moderately vigorous surface fire with a slow to moderate rate of spread."

Saturday, crews working on the Placer Creek fire were redirected to the August Lake fire, which is burning closer to homes. The BCWS has heavy equipment crews and an aerial resource helicopter responding to Placer Creek fire Sunday.

Martin said crews will be monitoring fire activity Sunday to see if more crews will be needed to be sent to Placer Creek.

"As we are in the middle of July, and just knowing the areas in the Okanagan-Similkameen -- it will get hot, it will be dry, it will be a little bit windy throughout the core pieces of the day here," Martin said.

"So, if people see a bit more smoke throughout those hotter times, it is to be expected, just as those fuels dry out."

New Emergency Reception Centre

The emergency support service reception centre is now at the Princeton Annex located at 231 Bridge Street, which was previously located at the Princeton Arena when a local state of emergency was declared by the RDOS on Saturday.

Due to the August Lake fire, evacuation orders are in effect south of Highway 3, west to Amber Hill Road / Darcy Mountain Road adjacent of Sewer Treatment Plant, east to Willies Ranch Road, Princeton Golf Club, and Taylor Mill Drive.

Additionally, evacuation alerts are in effect north of Highway 3 along the Similkameen River, south of Princeton Cemetery Road, east of Copper Mountain Road, west of Willie Ranch Road.

Residents can contact the Princeton Annex reception centre at 250-273-0143.

The NTT INDYCAR Series saw a thrilling conclusion to the Farm to Finish 275 Race No. 2 at Iowa Speedway, where Alex Palou took advantage of late caution to retake the lead and secure his eighth victory of the season.
Initially leading from pole position, Palou lost the lead to Josef Newgarden with 35 laps remaining after the latter made up a five-second gap in just 15 laps. However, Newgarden pitted from the lead with 28 laps to go and was caught out by a caution that followed soon after, trapping him a lap down.
### **Palou's Late Rally**
The key moment came when Palou regained the lead following a restart with 11 laps to go. He held onto this position, driving to victory in a race marked by its unpredictable twists and turns.
"Honestly, it's tough," said Palou. "It's tough... You have different challenges every weekend, and that's why I love racing in INDYCAR."
### **Dixon's Runner-Up Finish**
Scott Dixon brought his No. 9 CGR Honda home to a runner-up finish, while Marcus Armstrong rounded out the podium in his Meyer Shank Racing Honda.
"It was definitely an interesting weekend for us," said Dixon. "We were able to manage the stints quite well and extend the windows when we needed to."
### **Top Ten Finishers**
The top ten finishers included Christian Lundgaard, Felix Rosenqvist, Christian Rasmussen, Robert Shwartzman, Newgarden, Palou's teammate David Malukas, Saturday's winner Pato O'Ward, and Josef Newgarden.

Palou now leads the NTT INDYCAR SERIES standings with a 129-point advantage over Pato O'Ward. The series returns to action next Sunday at noon ET on the streets of Toronto.

Alex Palou led 194 laps and won from the pole. That's what the record will say. That, however, doesn't tell the story.

The driver of the No. 10 Chip Ganassi Racing Honda lost the lead to Josef Newgarden with 35 laps to go, after the latter made up a five-second gap in 15 laps to go from third to first. Then Newgarden pitted from the lead with 28 to go and a caution flew with 22 to go that trapped Newgarden a lap down, but gave Palou back the lead. Which he held onto after a restart with 11 to go and drove to victory in the Farm to Finish 275 Race No. 2 at Iowa Speedway.

"Honestly, it's tough. It's tough," Palou said. "That's why it's so fun to race in INDYCAR with these teams, with these different tracks. It's different challenges that you have. You go to a street course and you need different techniques than on a road course, and then you go to an oval and you have superspeedways, and then you come here and it's completely different to IMS.

"It's super fun, keeps you awake, keeps you having to push every single weekend, and honestly, I was already super happy yesterday with our first pole here. But to be able to get our first win here and fighting on track, it's been a good day. It's been super fun."

It's his 18th career victory in 93 career NTT INDYCAR Series starts and eighth of the 2025 season.

Scott Dixon brought his No. 9 CGR Honda home to a runner-up finish and Marcus Armstrong rounded out the podium in his No. 66 Meyer Shank Racing Honda.

"Yeah, it was definitely an interesting weekend for us," Dixon said. "I think all the cars yesterday weren't typically great on the high lines. On the 9 car side at least we threw the kitchen sink at it, at least try something different, use it as a bit of a test session.

"It was a bit iffy at the start. We were a bit off on COP and bars and all that kind of stuff, but once we got it dialed in, it was pretty good. I think we were able to manage the stints quite well, tire life was quite good, and that enabled us to save a bunch of fuel and extend the windows when we needed to. I think today for most people it was about catching the caution and going as long as possible.

"The undercut was not great for us. The overcut was a bit better. Obviously you could run really fast times at the end. I don't know, I think we worked on the car all day and got it pretty good, and another stint I think we could have had a really fun race with the 10."

David Malukas and Saturday's winner, Pato O'Ward, rounded out the top-five.

Christian Lundgaard, Felix Rosenqvist, Christian Rasmussen, Robert Shwartzman and Newgarden rounded out the top-10.

Palou led the field to green at 1:20 p.m. ET, but caution flew on the first lap when Devlin DeFrancesco got loose and spun into the Turn 4 wall. He collected Scott McLaughlin in the process.

Back to green on Lap 12, Palou caught the back of the field on Lap 32. Caution flew on Lap 50 when Sting Ray Robb hit the wall in Turn 1. Everybody pitted under the caution. Shwartzman dropped to the rear of the field for speeding on pit road.

Back to green on Lap 65, Newgarden overtook Palou on the high line exiting Turn 4 for the race lead. Unlike Saturday, Newgarden lapped cars with greater ease. He pit from the lead on Lap 130, as caution flew for Marcus Ericsson, who suffered a right-front tire failure and hit the wall in Turn 4. This gave the lead back to Palou and trapped Newgarden a lap down. Which he got back when the field pitted under the caution.

Back to green on Lap 142, the race settled into a green flag run. Until caution flew on Lap 176 when Callum Ilott broke loose and rear-ended the Turn 4 wall. Kyle Kirkwood stayed out to take the race lead.

Back to green on Lap 191, Palou jumped to the high line to fight Kirkwood for the race lead. Kirkwood edged him out at the line on Lap 192, but Palou completed the overtake for the race lead on Lap 193. Newgarden, who with 50 laps to go was five seconds back, overtook Palou into Turn 1 to retake the lead with 35 laps to go. He pitted from the lead with 28 to go and momentarily stalled it on exit. Malukas cycled out ahead of him and Palou took the race lead. Caution flew with 22 to go when Colton Herta hit the wall in Turn 2.

Back to green with 11 to go, Palou drove onto victory.

Will Power dropped off the pace from fourth on Lap 21 and made an unscheduled stop. An engine failure ended his race.

The race lasted one hour, 48 minutes and 39 seconds, at an average speed of 135.761 mph. There were six lead changes among three different drivers and five cautions for 58 laps.

Palou leaves Iowa with a 129-point lead over O'Ward.

The NTT INDYCAR SERIES returns to action, next Sunday, at noon ET on the streets of Toronto.
