Data Corner: Japan in Horizon Europe

Japan is set to sign an agreement to join the EU’s €93.5 billion Horizon Europe research and innovation programme by the end of the year. This marks a significant step in deepening scientific collaboration between Japan and the European Union.

Although Japan has not yet been an official member, the country’s researchers are already familiar with EU research projects. Typically, third countries like Japan are not eligible for funding but can still participate in projects and secure funding in select schemes. To date, 84 Japanese organisations have participated in Horizon Europe 169 times, receiving €1.25 million in funding.

The forthcoming association agreement will allow Japanese researchers to join EU partners on equal terms during 2026 and 2027, the final two years of the current Horizon Europe programme. Formal negotiations on the association began in November 2024, but the EU has been courting Japan’s involvement for several years.

This move comes as Japan seeks to reconfigure its science and technology policy, opening new doors for collaboration and innovation on the global stage.

AFG vs BAN, 3rd ODI: Preview and stats

**3rd ODI: Dominant Afghanistan Eye Historic Series Whitewash Over Bangladesh**
*By Parth Dhall | Oct 13, 2025 | 09:51 pm*

Afghanistan and Bangladesh are set to lock horns in the 3rd and final ODI at Abu Dhabi’s Sheikh Zayed Stadium. The Hashmatullah Shahidi-led Afghanistan side has dominated the series so far, securing an unassailable 2-0 lead after the first two games. In the second ODI, Afghanistan bowled Bangladesh out for just 109 runs while successfully defending a modest total of 190.

With the series already in their pocket, Afghanistan now eye their maiden ODI series whitewash. Bangladesh, on the other hand, have nothing more to lose and will look to salvage some pride in the final match.

### Match Preview

**Pitch Report and Conditions**
The pitches at Sheikh Zayed Stadium are generally slow, making it challenging for batters to hit boundaries consistently. While pacers get some movement early on, spinners tend to play a crucial role throughout the match. The conditions are expected to be hot once again, with no signs of rain disrupting the game.

### Teams Overview

**Afghanistan’s Bowling Strength**
Afghanistan’s success so far can largely be attributed to their bowlers. Azmatullah Omarzai has been impressive with six wickets in the series, while Rashid Khan made history with a five-wicket haul in the 2nd ODI. Despite their strong bowling performances, Afghanistan’s batting has struggled during the middle overs.

**Bangladesh’s Batting Woes**
Bangladesh continue to face challenges in finding consistent contributors in their batting line-up. Their top order faltered in the second ODI, which resulted in a disappointing defeat.

### Team News

**Afghanistan XI Update**
Rahmat Shah will miss the final ODI due to injury. Darwish Rasooli is expected to replace him in the middle order.

Probable Afghanistan XI:
– Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wicket-keeper)
– Ibrahim Zadran

– Darwish Rasooli
– Hashmatullah Shahidi (captain)

– Towhid Hridoy
– Mehidy Hasan Miraz (captain)
– Nurul Hasan (wicket-keeper)
– Jaker Ali
– Rishad Hossain
– Tanzim Hasan
– Tanvir Islam
– Mustafizur Rahman

### Notable Stats and Facts

– Rashid Khan is finally at his best, having taken eight wickets in the first two ODIs. He achieved a milestone in the 2nd ODI by becoming the leg-spinner with the second-most five-wicket hauls in ODI cricket.
– Afghanistan’s score of 190 in the 2nd ODI remains the lowest first innings total in 55 matches played at Abu Dhabi.
– The Afghan cricket team is on the verge of recording their first-ever series whitewash in ODI cricket.

The stage is set for an exciting finale as Afghanistan look to seal a historic 3-0 series victory against a struggling Bangladesh side. Fans can expect a thrilling contest at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium.

Beijing claims PH fishers may ruin its Scarborough ‘nature reserve’

MANILA, Philippines — For the first time since Beijing’s declaration, the China Coast Guard (CCG) has been broadcasting radio challenges to assert its unilateral “nature reserve” claim in Scarborough (Panatag) Shoal. These broadcasts specifically target Filipino fishermen operating in the area, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) said on Monday.

The PCG documented these radio challenges during the operations of its ships and the Bureau of Fisheries in the disputed waters. This development marks a new level of assertiveness from China regarding its claims over Scarborough Shoal, a territory also claimed by the Philippines.

More BSP rate cuts likely ahead, says Fitch unit

MANILA, Philippines – A solid cushion of foreign reserves and an anticipated easing action by the US Federal Reserve (Fed) this month could give the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) room to front-load further rate cuts.

This move would support economic growth without putting too much pressure on the peso.

Trump arrives in Egypt for Gaza Summit, urges Israel to seize chance for peace

**Trump’s Whirlwind Middle East Trip Aims to Cement Fragile Hope for Peace**

Former U.S. President Donald Trump’s whirlwind visit to the Middle East included a high-profile speech at the Knesset in Jerusalem and participation in a regional summit, marking a fragile moment of hope for ending over two years of conflict between Israel and Hamas.

More than two dozen countries were expected to be represented at the summit, co-hosted by Trump and Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was invited but declined to attend, with his office citing proximity to a Jewish holiday as the reason for his absence, according to AP.

Despite lingering questions over next steps in Gaza — which has been devastated during the conflict — Trump appeared determined to seize this opportunity to foster regional stability.

### “You’ve Won” — Trump’s Message to Israel

Addressing Israeli lawmakers at the Knesset, which welcomed him warmly, Trump declared, “You’ve won. Now it is time to translate these victories against terrorists on the battlefield into the ultimate prize of peace and prosperity for the entire Middle East.”

He pledged U.S. support to help rebuild Gaza and urged Palestinians to “turn forever from the path of terror and violence.” Trump emphasized, “After tremendous pain and death and hardship, now is the time to concentrate on building their people up instead of trying to tear Israel down.”

Turning to Iran, Trump extended a gesture of diplomacy, stating that “the hand of friendship and cooperation is always open,” despite earlier tensions — including the U.S. bombing of three nuclear sites amid Iran’s brief war with Israel earlier this year.

### Summit and Hostage Release

Trump arrived in Egypt hours late after speeches at the Knesset ran longer than expected. Commenting on the delay, he joked, “They might not be there by the time I get there, but we’ll give it a shot,” teasing Israeli leaders for their lengthy speeches.

The summit coincided with the release of 20 hostages on Monday, part of an agreement aimed at ending the war that began on October 7, 2023, after Hamas killed over 1,000 Israelis. Trump met with some of the hostages’ families at the Knesset, where a woman told him, “Your name will be remembered to generations.”

Throughout his visit, Israeli lawmakers repeatedly chanted Trump’s name and gave standing ovations. Some attendees wore red hats reminiscent of Trump’s “Make America Great Again” caps, with slogans reading “Trump, The Peace President.”

### Netanyahu’s Praise and Trump’s Unexpected Call for Pardon

Although Netanyahu did not attend the summit, he hailed Trump remotely, calling him “the greatest friend Israel has ever had in the White House,” and vowed to collaborate closely in pursuit of peace.

“Mr. President, you are committed to this peace. I am committed to this peace. And together, Mr. President, we will achieve this peace,” Netanyahu said.

In an unexpected move during his speech, Trump called on the Israeli president to pardon Netanyahu, whom he described as “one of the greatest” wartime leaders. Netanyahu currently faces corruption charges, though several court hearings were postponed during the conflict with Hamas.

Trump also used the occasion to settle political scores by criticizing Democratic predecessors and acknowledging top donor Miriam Adelson, who was present in the audience.

### The Delicate Road Ahead: Gaza Ceasefire and Regional Rebuilding

Despite the ceasefire, the situation in the region remains fragile. Israel and Hamas are still implementing the initial phase of Trump’s peace plan, which includes releasing the remaining hostages held by Hamas, freeing hundreds of Palestinian prisoners held by Israel, a surge of humanitarian aid to Gaza, and a partial withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza’s main cities.

Trump emphasized the window of opportunity for reshaping the region and resetting strained relations between Israel and its Arab neighbors. “The war is over, OK? I think people are tired of it,” he told reporters aboard Air Force One, expressing confidence that the ceasefire would hold.

He credited his Republican administration’s strong support for Israel’s efforts against Iranian proxies like Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon as key to this momentum.

The White House noted growing momentum as Arab and Muslim states increasingly focus on resolving the broader Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with some deepening ties with the U.S.

### Vision for Gaza’s Future: From “Demolition Site” to Rebuilding

Back in February, Trump predicted Gaza could be redeveloped into what he called “the Riviera of the Middle East.” However, during his recent trip, he was more cautious.

“I don’t know about the Riviera for a while. It’s blasted. This is like a demolition site,” Trump said. He expressed hope to visit Gaza one day, saying, “I’d like to put my feet on it, at least.”

The parties have yet to agree on Gaza’s postwar governance, reconstruction, and Israel’s demand that Hamas disarm. Negotiations remain delicate, and Israel has indicated it may resume military operations if its demands are not met.

Much of Gaza remains in ruins, and its roughly 2 million residents continue to face desperate humanitarian conditions.

### Ceasefire Enforcement and Humanitarian Aid

Under the ceasefire deal, Israel has agreed to reopen five border crossings, easing the flow of food and supplies into Gaza, where parts of the population are experiencing famine.

Approximately 200 U.S. troops will assist in monitoring the ceasefire, working alongside partner nations, non-governmental organizations, and private-sector players to help stabilize the situation.

Trump’s trip underscores a critical juncture for peace efforts in the Middle East, carrying both cautious optimism and the weighty challenge of rebuilding a war-torn region. The coming weeks and months will reveal whether this fragile hope can be transformed into lasting peace and prosperity.

Afghanistan pull out of Pakistan Tri-Series series: Details here

**Why Afghanistan Withdrew from T20I Tri-Series in Pakistan**
*By Parth Dhall | Oct 13, 2025, 10:56 PM*

In a significant development, Afghanistan has withdrawn from the upcoming T20I Tri-Series scheduled to be held in Pakistan, which also involves Sri Lanka. The series was set to take place between November 17 and 29 but has now been impacted by the ongoing military conflict between Pakistan and Afghanistan.

### Rising Tensions Affect Cricket Plans

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has responded to this setback by beginning preparations for alternate arrangements. The decision comes amid escalating tensions following Taliban forces’ retaliation against airstrikes in Kabul. According to the Taliban government, 58 Pakistani soldiers were killed in “retaliatory” strikes carried out on a Saturday night, further straining the diplomatic relations between the two countries.

### ICC Urged to Prepare Alternate Plans

PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has called on the International Cricket Council (ICC) to prepare “alternate plans” to ensure the tri-series proceeds despite Afghanistan’s withdrawal. The ICC’s involvement is seen as critical to managing the situation and maintaining the cricketing calendar.

### Strategic Moves by PCB

In an effort to keep the tournament on track, the PCB has invited Sri Lanka to play three T20Is starting November 11, ahead of the tri-series involving Pakistan and Afghanistan. Additionally, the Pakistan and Sri Lankan cricket boards are in discussions to organize a three-match T20I series in Colombo from January 1 to 10, signaling strong cricketing ties despite regional instability.

The situation remains fluid, and cricket fans will be watching closely to see how the boards navigate these challenges in the coming weeks.
