COLOMBO, Sri Lanka — Australia opened their T20 World Cup 2026 campaign with a ruthless 67‑run victory over Ireland, combining a muscular batting display with a suffocating bowling performance to underline their title credentials in Group B.
(VIDEO) Australia Thrash Ireland by 67 Runs in Colombo to Launch T20 World Cup Campaign in Style
Sent in to bat after stand‑in captain Travis Head won the toss at the R. Premadasa Stadium, Australia posted an imposing 182 for 6 before skittling Ireland for just 115 in 16.5 overs. The result not only delivered two points but also handed Australia a hefty early boost to their net run rate in a group where every decimal could prove crucial.
Stoinis and Inglis power Australia to 182
Australia’s innings began in chaotic fashion when Head, leading the side in the absence of the injured Mitchell Marsh, was run out for 6 after a mix‑up with opening partner Josh Inglis. Inglis had already survived a chance — dropped at point — and capitalised on his reprieve with an aggressive, counter‑punching cameo.
Inglis and Cameron Green quickly wrested back momentum from Ireland. The pair kept the powerplay run rate above 10 an over, mixing clean hitting down the ground with sharp running between the wickets. Green raced to 21 off 11 balls before miscuing to mid‑wicket, but by then Australia had 64 on the board at the end of six overs, with the Irish seamers struggling for control on a placid surface.
Inglis continued to attack, racing to 37 off just 17 balls with a flurry of boundaries through point and over extra cover. His dismissal, holing out after earlier striking George Dockrell for four, briefly checked Australia’s charge, and a quiet middle phase followed as new batsmen adjusted to a pitch that began to slow and grip.

Matt Renshaw and Marcus Stoinis then rebuilt the innings in a decisive fifth‑wicket stand worth 61. Renshaw played the anchor role with 37 from 33 balls, rotating the strike and allowing Stoinis to dictate terms. Stoinis, who top‑scored with 45 from 29 deliveries, picked his moments to accelerate, driving powerfully down the ground and muscling a six over mid‑wicket while still collecting the majority of his runs in hard‑run ones and twos.
Glenn Maxwell’s brief stay offered flashes of intent without a big payoff, but Australia’s refusal to panic after losing early wickets meant they always had a platform to launch from. Late nudges and hustled doubles in the final overs ensured Australia reached 182, a total that looked slightly above par once the ball began to hold in the surface.
For Ireland, Mark Adair and Barry McCarthy fought hard in the death overs to prevent a 190‑plus score, but the damage from the powerplay and the Stoinis‑Renshaw partnership left them facing a daunting chase.
Ellis and Zampa rip through Ireland
Ireland’s reply unravelled almost immediately. Captain Paul Stirling, their most experienced and explosive batter, retired hurt for 1 in the opening over after what appeared to be a hamstring issue, dealing a psychological blow to a side already up against it.

Australian seamer Nathan Ellis took full advantage of the unsettled top order. Renowned for his clever changes of pace and skiddy trajectory, Ellis struck twice inside the first few overs, removing both set batters and exposing Ireland’s middle order before they could settle. By the end of the powerplay, Ireland had slumped to 40 for 4, their chase effectively in ruins.
Curtis Campher (4), Benjamin Calitz (2) and Gareth Delany (11) all fell cheaply during a brutal collapse that left Ireland tottering at 43 for 5 by the seventh over. Any hopes of a miracle hinged on wicketkeeper Lorcan Tucker and all‑rounder George Dockrell, who mounted the only meaningful resistance of the innings.
The pair added 46 for the sixth wicket, with Dockrell in particular showing composure and intent. He compiled a spirited 41 off 29 balls, finding gaps and punishing anything short or wide. Tucker supported with 24 as the duo briefly quieted the Australian fielders and forced Travis Head to juggle his bowling options.
But Adam Zampa, who had been held back specifically for the middle overs, quickly reasserted Australia’s control. The leg‑spinner broke the stand by removing Tucker, drawing him into a miscued stroke. Once that partnership ended, Ireland’s lower order crumbled.

Zampa and Ellis then turned the screw in tandem. Zampa’s drifting leg‑breaks and sharp googlies dismantled the middle order, while Ellis continued to choke off scoring opportunities with a mix of cutters and yorkers. Both bowlers finished with identical figures of four wickets apiece, underlining their dominance and leaving Ireland shot out for 115 with more than three overs unused.
Dockrell was the last semblance of resistance before the tail fell away, underscoring how little support Ireland’s top order offered in the face of Australia’s relentless attack.
Bowling discipline sets the tone
Australia’s performance with the ball was as clinical as their batting was controlled. Ellis’ 4 for 12 stood out not just for the wickets but for the pressure he applied; his economy and accuracy forced Ireland’s batters into high‑risk shots far earlier than they would have liked.
Zampa’s 4 for 23 demonstrated once again why he is central to Australia’s white‑ball plans. On a surface that rewarded patience and changes of pace, he consistently attacked the stumps, forcing errors from batters unsure whether to commit forward or back.

Xavier Bartlett and Matthew Kuhnemann provided useful support, tightening the screws from the other end and ensuring Ireland never found a passage of play in which they could counter‑attack freely. In the field, Australia were sharp, with direct hits and diving stops adding to Ireland’s sense of suffocation.
Perfect start to Group B campaign
The 67‑run margin sends Australia to the top of Group B on net run rate and serves as a statement of intent to the rest of the tournament. Coming into the World Cup with key players missing and questions about depth, they answered emphatically on both fronts: the batting card produced multiple contributions, and the attack functioned as a well‑drilled unit.
For Ireland, the defeat leaves them winless after two matches and with serious concerns over both form and fitness. Stirling’s hamstring issue looms as a major worry, and the fragility of the top order under pressure was laid bare. Their bowlers showed patches of discipline, particularly in the latter half of Australia’s innings, but the early overs with both bat and ball ultimately proved decisive.
As the tournament moves forward, Australia will look to build on the momentum of this comprehensive opening victory, while Ireland face a quick turnaround to resurrect their campaign and repair both confidence and combinations.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) late Tuesday night issued a sweeping and sudden emergency order halting all air traffic at El Paso International Airport (ELP) for a period of 10 days, citing “special security reasons” that have left travelers stranded and local officials scrambling for answers.
El Paso International Airport
The temporary flight restriction (TFR), which went into effect at 11:30 p.m. MST on Feb. 10, 2026, effectively severs the air link to one of the largest cities on the U.S.-Mexico border. The FAA’s notice to air missions (NOTAM) classifies the 10-mile radius around the airport as “National Defense Airspace,” warning pilots that the federal government may use “deadly force” against aircraft that violate the restriction.
An Abrupt and Unexplained Closure
Unlike typical airport closures for weather or scheduled maintenance, this shutdown was issued with less than three hours’ notice. Radio communications from the ELP control tower captured the moment dumbfounded pilots were informed they would be unable to depart.
“Apparently, we just got informed about 30 minutes to an hour ago,” an air traffic controller told a Southwest Airlines pilot late Tuesday.
The restriction extends from the surface up to 18,000 feet, covering not only El Paso International but also surrounding general aviation corridors and parts of Santa Teresa, New Mexico. While the order excludes Mexican airspace, it effectively shuts down commercial, cargo, and private aviation for the 23rd largest city in the United States through Feb. 20, 2026.

Mounting Questions Over “Special Security”
The FAA has declined to elaborate on the nature of the “special security reasons.” The lack of transparency has fueled intense speculation among aviation experts and local leaders.
“I have never heard of an American airspace being shut down for 10 days absent a major emergency,” said Texas State Rep. Vincent Perez. “To do this on such short notice without a clear explanation to the public is extraordinary.”
The closure comes during a period of heightened tension along the border, though federal authorities have not linked the grounding to any specific threat or law enforcement operation. Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-El Paso) confirmed Wednesday morning that her office is in urgent communication with the Department of Transportation, seeking a justification for the massive regional disruption.
Chaos for Travelers and Commerce
The timing of the shutdown is particularly painful for the region’s economy. El Paso International serves nearly 4 million passengers annually and is a vital hub for Southwest, American, and United Airlines.

Commercial Impact: More than 1,200 flights are expected to be canceled or diverted over the 10-day window.
Alternative Routes: Travelers are being urged to seek transport through Albuquerque, New Mexico (270 miles away), or Tucson, Arizona (320 miles away).
Cargo & Military: The shutdown also affects critical cargo shipments and logistics for neighboring Fort Bliss, one of the U.S. Army’s largest installations.
Conflicting Information and “Runway” Myths
Despite rumors and some initial reports suggesting the closure was for a $42 million runway reconstruction project, airport records and the FAA’s own “National Defense” classification contradict this. The primary commercial runway at ELP is 8R-26L, while the smaller 8L-26R runway—which some had claimed was the cause of the closure—has not been authorized for major commercial jet carriers for several years.
Furthermore, the official cited in some reports as the Airport Director, Sam Rodríguez, actually departed El Paso in 2024 to take a development role at San Antonio International Airport. Current airport staff confirmed they were as surprised by the FAA mandate as the public.
Looking Toward February 20
The FAA has indicated the restriction will remain in place until 11:30 p.m. on Feb. 20, 2026, unless “modified or rescinded.” As of Wednesday morning, the airport terminal remained open but largely deserted, with airline staff assisting a handful of stranded passengers who were caught in the late-night grounding.
“We are pending additional guidance from the FAA,” the airport said in a brief social media statement. “We encourage all travelers to contact their airlines directly for rebooking options.”

Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of NBC “Today” show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, remains the focus of a high-profile kidnapping investigation that has gripped the nation since early February 2026. What began as a quiet disappearance from her home near Tucson has escalated into a complex case involving a purported multimillion-dollar Bitcoin ransom demand, a fake extortionist arrest, and an emotional public plea from one of America’s most recognizable journalists.
Savannah Guthrie
Nancy Elizabeth Guthrie (née McGowan), born in 1941 in Oklahoma, has lived a private life largely out of the spotlight despite her daughter’s fame. A widow since the death of her husband, Charles “Chuck” Guthrie, in 2012, she resided alone in a secluded home in the Tucson foothills. Friends describe her as independent, kind-hearted, and still active in gardening and church activities despite mobility challenges from arthritis.
Here are 10 essential facts about Nancy Guthrie and the unfolding drama that has placed her at the center of a national news story.
Lifelong Connection to Savannah Guthrie Nancy raised Savannah and her three siblings — Camron, Annie, and an older brother who passed away in childhood — in Tucson after the family moved from Oklahoma. Savannah has frequently spoken of her mother’s influence, calling her “the strongest woman I know” in interviews. Nancy attended nearly every major milestone in Savannah’s career, including her “Today” show debut in 2012 and her wedding to Michael Feldman in 2014.
Disappearance on February 1, 2026 Nancy was last seen at her home on the evening of Jan. 31, 2026. Family members grew concerned when she failed to answer calls or texts the next morning. A relative conducted a welfare check and discovered signs of a struggle: overturned furniture, broken glass, and blood spatter on the kitchen floor. Pima County Sheriff’s deputies classified the scene as a “possible kidnapping or abduction” and immediately launched a major investigation.
Bitcoin Ransom Demand Surface On Feb. 4, 2026, TMZ reported receiving an anonymous email containing a ransom note demanding $8 million in Bitcoin to a specific wallet address. The note claimed Nancy was “alive but scared” and included non-public details about the crime scene (a damaged antique lamp and a specific blood pattern), lending credibility. The kidnappers set a first deadline of Feb. 5 at 5 p.m. and a second for Feb. 9, threatening “more serious consequences” if unpaid.
Savannah Guthrie’s Emotional Public Pleas On Feb. 5, Savannah posted a tearful video on Instagram and X, addressing the captors directly: “If you have my mom, please reach out. We just need to know she’s OK. We will do whatever it takes — just give us a sign of life.” The post garnered more than 12 million views in 24 hours and was widely shared by celebrities including Hoda Kotb, Jenna Bush Hager, and Al Roker.
Fake Extortionist Arrest On Feb. 6, 2026, the FBI arrested 42-year-old Derrick Callella of Torrance, California, after he sent text messages to Guthrie family members demanding Bitcoin payment. Authorities quickly identified him as an opportunistic fraudster with no connection to the abduction. Callella was charged with making illegitimate ransom threats and released on $20,000 bond. The arrest highlighted how publicity can attract copycat criminals.
No Confirmed Proof of Life As of Feb. 11, 2026, investigators have not received verifiable proof that Nancy is still alive. The original ransom note’s Bitcoin wallet has received no funds, and no further communications matching the level of detail in the first message have surfaced. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said the case remains active and that “every resource is being devoted to bringing Nancy home safely.”
$50,000 Reward and Community Response A $50,000 reward is offered for information leading to Nancy’s safe return. Local churches in Tucson have held prayer vigils, and neighbors have organized daily searches of surrounding desert areas. Savannah’s co-workers at NBC have worn blue ribbons — Nancy’s favorite color — on air in solidarity.
Nancy’s Quiet but Full Life Before her disappearance, Nancy lived independently, drove herself to church and grocery stores, and enjoyed gardening, reading mystery novels, and attending her grandchildren’s events. Friends say she was of sound mind but had begun using a walker for longer distances due to arthritis. She had no known enemies and no history of disputes that would suggest motive.
Broader Context: Cryptocurrency in Kidnappings The use of Bitcoin in the ransom demand fits a growing trend of “wrench attacks” — physical abductions designed to force victims or relatives to transfer cryptocurrency. Blockchain transparency makes Bitcoin traceable with proper tools, and experts say demanding crypto is often a “rookie mistake” for kidnappers. The FBI’s Cryptocurrency Fraud Unit is assisting in the investigation.
Ongoing Investigation and Hope The case is being jointly investigated by the Pima County Sheriff’s Office, FBI Phoenix Field Office, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Arizona. A multi-agency task force continues neighborhood canvasses, analysis of surveillance footage from nearby homes, and forensic examination of the ransom note and communications. Savannah has said the family will not give up: “We are praying, we are hoping, and we are fighting every day for my mom’s safe return.”
Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance has united a community, drawn national attention, and reminded millions of the fragility of life — even for families in the public eye. As the search enters its second week, her loved ones cling to hope that the woman who raised a national news anchor will soon be home again.
The plans aim to preserve the Herrington Burn site while providing modern offices
The former Philadelphia Miners Welfare Institute which will become Enterprise House.(Image: Building Design Northern)
A derelict former miners’ welfare institute on Wearside is set to be brought back to life as office space for a driving school.
The 100 year-old former Philadelphia Miners Welfare Institute in Herrington Burn is currently in a state of disrepair. But Sunderland architectural design and structural engineering firm Building Design Northern has developed plans for an extensive makeover on behalf of its client, the UK driving school operator Pass n Go.
The vision for ‘Enterprise House’ includes remodelling the two-storey building to provide modern office space and meeting rooms, as well as open-plan facilities and staff amenities to the first floor including a mezzanine-level boardroom. And with planning permission in place, outside there will be bike storage, car parking for nine vehicles and landscaping works.
Hannah Thompson of Building Design Northern, explained: “The building is a great example of a former miners’ welfare institute that once stood at the heart of many mining communities up and down the country. Its strong character and facade exemplify the architectural design that was prominent and typical of the early 1900s, and we’re delighted to have been appointed by Pass n Go to design and deliver appropriate plans for this site.

“Our designs will retain, preserve and restore the building’s rich industrial heritage and many historic features including stone window surrounds, a large central focal window and other decorative elements both internally and externally.”

The institute was built in 1926 and is said to be typical of the type scattered across northern mining towns during the last century. Like others it became the heart of the coalfield community as a place to socialise, to learn and as a library. During the height of Britain’s industrial period, miners’ institutes were mostly operated by miners’ groups who offered a proportion of their wages into a welfare fund to support the construction, maintenance and general running of the buildings.
Having already been turned into offices some years ago, the Herrington Burn property has stood empty but will now benefit from extensive renovations and retrofit upgrades. It has original red brick, stonework and asymmetrical frontage and is regarded by many as a non-designated local heritage asset.
The separate reports from NatWest and KPMG have the North East among the best performing UK regions
The Newcastle skyline(Image: Newcastle Journal)
Two well-regarded surveys have pointed to a more positive picture in the North East economy.
The latest NatWest Growth Tracker data showed a renewed expansion in output amongst firms in the North East, with the rate of growth among the fastest in the UK.
The tracker – which measures change in the region’s manufacturing and service sectors – rose from 49.5 in December to 54.4 in January, pointing to an increase in business activity for the first time in three months. Nine of the 12 monitored UK regions and nations recorded a rise in output, with the second-fastest expansion seen jointly in the North East and West Midlands, behind London.
Private sector firms in the North East also registered a steeper increase in new business intakes, while business confidence reached its highest level in more than four years. Employment levels were unchanged, NatWest said, but some companies in the region are looking to increase headcount to keep pace with rising demand.

Malcolm Buchanan, chair of the NatWest North Regional Board, said: “North East-based companies were buoyed by stronger optimism and higher new order inflows to raise activity levels for the first time in three months at the start of 2026. Output rose at the fastest pace since last August, and was behind only London in terms of growth leaders across the 12 monitored UK regions and nations.
“The near and medium-term pipeline is also positive for the North East region, with growth in new business intakes reaching a three-month high, while outstanding business continued to accumulate – signalling pressure on capacity amid growing demand. Looking further ahead, companies were confident that positive trends would continue over the coming 12 months. The overall degree of confidence surged from the end of last year to reach the highest since May 2021.
“Moreover, local firms were among the most optimistic of the monitored UK areas, with only London-based companies recording a stronger degree of optimism.”
Meanwhile, a report for Big Four accountancy group KPMG has suggested that 92% private business owners in the North East are confident about growth in 2026, the highest level of confidence of any Northern region. KPMG’s annual Private Enterprise Barometer puts business confidence in the North East five percentage points above the national average.

Rising demand for products was identified as the main reason for the increasing positiveity, while some businesses also highlighted plans to expand into new markets and launch new products.
Michael Downes, senior partner for KPMG at its Newcastle office, said: “Leading the Northern regions in confidence reflects not only resilience, but a determination from the businesses in the North East to invest in the future.
“It’s particularly encouraging to see businesses across the region increasingly looking beyond domestic markets, with appetite for international expansion well above the national average. That confidence is being reinforced by continued investment in technology and AI at home, supported by major developments such as the North East’s AI Growth Zone, which is helping to drive innovation, skills development and job creation across the region.
“With technology, diversification and a growing openness to alternative funding all shaping growth strategies, the North East’s private businesses are showing the ambition and forward-thinking needed to compete on the international stage.”

During today’s presentation, we’ll highlight certain non-GAAP measures in order to provide a clearer picture of how the core business
Children are routinely exposed to adverts for weight-loss injections, diet products and cosmetic procedures online, according to a new report by Dame Rachel de Souza, who has called for tougher regulation of social media platforms.
The report, based on a survey of 2,000 children aged 13 to 17 alongside focus groups, found that young people were being “bombarded” with content promoting body transformation, despite restrictions on certain types of advertising.
Respondents reported seeing ads for weight-loss drugs and diet products, as well as skin-lightening treatments, some of which are illegal to sell in the UK. Others described beauty and cosmetic content, including promotions for lip fillers and aesthetic procedures, as “unavoidable” across major social media platforms.
Dame Rachel said the content was “immensely damaging” to young people’s self-esteem and urged ministers to consider a ban on targeted social media advertising to children.
“We cannot continue to accept an online world that profits from children’s insecurities and constantly tells them they need to change,” she said. “Urgent action is needed to create an online environment that is truly safer by design.”

The findings come amid the rollout of the Online Safety Act, which aims to make the internet safer for users, particularly children, by placing duties on platforms to remove harmful material quickly.
Dame Rachel’s report suggests amending the Act to introduce a clearer “duty of care” obliging platforms to prevent children from being shown body-image related advertising in the first place. She also recommended changes to Ofcom’s Children’s Code of Practice to explicitly protect young users from “body stigma” content.
Ofcom said such material is already covered under its existing code. “Body stigma content can be incredibly harmful to children, which is why our rules require sites and apps to protect children from encountering it and to act swiftly when they become aware of it,” a spokesperson said. The regulator added it would not tolerate technology firms “prioritising engagement over children’s online safety”.
The commissioner also called for stronger enforcement of rules governing the online sale of age-restricted products and suggested the government consider limiting children’s access to certain social media platforms altogether.

Dr Peter Macaulay, senior lecturer in psychology at the University of Derby, said restricting advertising to children was a necessary step but not sufficient on its own. “We also need stronger platform accountability, improved enforcement of age-appropriate design standards and better education to help children critically navigate online pressures,” he said.
A government spokesperson said ministers had always been clear that the Online Safety Act was “not the end of the conversation” and confirmed that a national consultation had been launched on further measures, including the possibility of banning social media use for under-16s.
The debate highlights growing concern among policymakers about the commercial drivers behind youth-facing content, as platforms face mounting pressure to demonstrate that their business models do not undermine children’s mental health.
