Texas Rangers, in a bid to change the club's fortunes, have decided to fire manager Chris Woodward and President of Baseball Operations Jon Daniels in quick succession. Daniels, 44, was with the Rangers since 2002, but after the club's dismal performances in the last few seasons, a change in ranks does not come as a surprise. Born in Queens, New York, Daniels is a major in Applied Economics and Management from Cornell University. His career in baseball management began in the year 2001 when he signed on as an intern for the Colorado Rookies. After just spending a single season with the club, Daniels applied to the Texas Rangers and got hired by then-manager John Hart. He was then appointed as the club's assistant general manager in 2004 and went on to become the GM in 2005 when he was only 28-years-old. This made him the youngest GM in MLB history.

Texas Rangers are out on a mission to revamp operations after five seasons of dismal performances. Just two days after showing the door to manager Chris Woodward, the Rangers have now gone on to fire Jon Daniels, the team's Baseball President, who served the club for a period of 17 years. Daniels had first joined the Rangers' baseball operations department in 2002. He was made the club's eighth general manager (GM) in 2005 when he was only 28 years of age. This made him the youngest GM in Major League Baseball (MLB) history. In 2013, he was promoted to the position of President of Baseball operations. Also Read| Who is Tony Beasley, Texas Rangers' interim manager?,It was under his stewardship that the Rangers flourished in the MLB, winning two back-to-back AL pennants in 2010 and 2011 and winning the AL West division in 2010, 2011, 2015, and 2016. Regarding Daniels' dismissal, the club released a statement that quoted majority owner Ray Davis, Jon's accomplishments in his 17 years running our baseball operations department have been numerous. He and his staff put together the best teams in this franchise's history that resulted in five playoff appearances and two American League pennants between 2010 and 2016. You can check out the club's statement right here:,However, Davis also pointed out the club's poor performance in recent years and said that the club has not won much since 2016, and that a change of leadership of the baseball operations department will be beneficial going forward. Notably, the Rangers lost a total of 102 games in 2021 and have not made a single playoff appearance since 2016.

Bollywood actor Jacqueline Fernandez found herself in hot soup on Wednesday as the Enforcement Directorate (ED) named her as one of the co-accused in a Rs. 200-crore money-laundering case. The actor had an affair with the main accused, Sukesh Chandrasekhar, who had given her gifts worth crores of rupees. The ED believes that Fernandez had accepted the gifts despite knowing that they were purchased using ill-gotten money. Fernandez was interrogated by the ED for the first time in August 2021 regarding her affair with Chandrasekhar, who had reportedly called her on multiple occasions from Tihar Jail. Also Read| Bollywood actor Jacqueline Fernandez accused of money laundering by ED,In September 2021, the 37-year-old actor was summoned once again, and it was during this time the ED revealed that she might have been among the people scammed by Chandrasekhar.

However, Fernandez's spokesperson refuted the statement. In November 2021, private pictures of Sukesh and Fernandez found their way to social media, adding fuel to speculations that the two were romantically involved. While Fernandez was trying to leave the country in December 2021, she was stopped by the ED at a private Mumbai airport.

It is with this trust that I would request my media friends to not circulate images of a nature that intrude my privacy and personal space. Chandrasekhar, via his lawyer in February, reiterated Fernandez's request regarding their pictures while confirming that the two of them were indeed in a relationship.

A Chinese ship equipped with missile and satellite-tracking capabilities has recently docked at Sri Lanka's Hambantota port, raising security concerns for New Delhi. In a further turn of events, NDTV reports that the Xi Jinping government is now also considering sending troops to countries like Pakistan and Afghanistan where China has invested billions of dollars. When reports of the ship docking at Sri Lanka had first surfaced, New Delhi communicated its concerns to Colombo, where it also reminded the island country of how India had lent a helping hand when its economy was in a freefall. While Sri Lanka paid heed to India's concerns at first and asked the ship to postpone its docking, it then went back on its word. Also Read| India concerned as Chinese missile-tracking ship docks in Sri Lanka,The investments that China has been making around the world are part of its massive Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). According to this project, the country is looking to invest in infrastructure in 150 countries around the globe, which will in turn give China a voice in diplomatic affairs around the world. ,China has reportedly invested around $60 billion USD in Pakistan and is now in return pressurizing the country to allow it to set up Chinese military outposts within its borders. Notably, China has also made a similar proposal to Taliban-ruled Afghanistan, but has not received any positive reply yet. Also Read| New pride, old prejudices: How is Afghanistan after a year under Taliban,NDTV spoke to security officials in Islamabad who are of the opinion that such military outposts are a part of China's plans to smoothen operations pertaining to the BRI. Moreover, Chinese ambassador to the country, Nong Rong, had also met officials of the Shehbaz Sharif government in order to discuss such plans. The Ambassador is apparently insisting that such measures are required in order to protect the country's projects and citizens. ,Notably, China is at the moment concerned about its relationship with Afghanistan since the Taliban government has shown little interest in handing over Uyghur insurgents to Beijing. The Taliban have also not denounced Indian presence in Afghanistan, adding to the worries of both China and Pakistan.

Hollywood legend Robert de Niro has been roped in by Warner Brothers Discovery to star in a period mobster drama called Wise Guys. The script for the project is being penned by Nicholas Pellegi, who had also written the book Wiseguy, which was later adapted into the epic Martin Scorsese directorial, Goodfellas (1990), also starring de Niro. Wiseguy will be helmed by Barry Levinson, the director of the Oscar-winning 1988 film, Rain Man. Also Read| Mark Ruffalo takes a jibe at Star Wars while defending MCU outputs,The story of Wise Guys revolves around Vito Genovese and Frank Costello, two notable American mafia bosses from the mid-20th century. De Niro will reportedly portray both of these characters. Genovese had apparently tried to kill Costello in 1957, but failed. Following this, Costello retired after handing over his businesses to Genovese. Warner Brothers Discovery had said earlier that they would be concentrating more on theatrical releases than on streamable content post the merger. It is a matter to be noted that while this period drama has been given the green signal, the production house has pulled the plug on Batgirl, a direct-to-stream venture, despite pumping in close to $80 million dollars in the project. Also Read| Leo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese's The Wager movie: All you need to know,The new president and CEO of Warner Brothers Discovery, David Zaslav, has been rewriting the philosophy behind the company's releases. Besides Batgirl, he has also cancelled the Scooby Doo film, Scoob!: Holiday Haunt. Wise Guys is an original film with no big budget or the possibility of a franchise. The first film that the new conglomerate had greenlighted was also an original far removed from its DC cannon: Joker: Folie a Deux, a musical starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, which is due out in 2024. De Niro, 78, is keeping his hands full at the moment. In 2022, he will be seen in the David O. Russell directorial, Amsterdam, as well as Wash Me In The River, where he will star alongside John Malkovich. In 2023, the actor will be seen in his twelfth collaboration with Scorsese in the Apple TV production, Killers of the Flower Moon, which will also star another Scorsese veteran, Leonardo DiCaprio.
