Following that landmark ruling, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) on November 20, proposed large-scale remedies that go far beyond the Silicon Valley giant’s online search business. The proposals include possible divestment of Google’s Chrome and Android businesses. What does the U.S. DOJ proposal mean for Google? The DOJ, in its proposal, stressed that Google’s hold over the online search market had to be loosened so there can be more competition. The federal government unit has argued for a mandatory sale of the Chrome browser, possible divestment of the Android mobile operating system, a five-year-long ban on entering the browser market, and a restriction on paying third parties like Apple to make Google the default search engine on their products. Additionally, the DOJ has asked Google to provide publishers and content creators with the ability to block their data from being used to train AI models. The DOJ suggested the formation of a ‘Technical Committee’ to monitor how Google is implementing the various remedies. The proposal raised concerns about whether Google could use its AI technologies or business strategies such as acquisitions, mergers, and partnerships to bypass these remedies. Google will also have to make its search index available to rivals for a small fee and be more transparent about its search technologies. In essence, the regulator’s remedies are sweeping and intend on hitting where it hurts Google the most—its profits. The DOJ wants to make it so that “Google is prohibited from owning not only a browser—following its divestiture of Chrome it may not reenter the browser market for five years—but also from owning or acquiring any investment or interest in any search or search text ad rival, search distributor, or rival query-based AI product or ads technology.” What was Google’s response? Google strongly condemned the remedies as a “radical interventionist agenda.” “DOJ’s wildly overbroad proposal goes miles beyond the Court’s decision. It would break a range of Google products — even beyond Search — that people love and find helpful in their everyday lives,” said Kent Walker, President, Global Affairs & Chief Legal Officer, Google & Alphabet, in a blog post. The executive also listed out the potential dangers of the U.S. DOJ’s remedies. This included risking the security and privacy of millions of American users, forcing Google to disclose company and customer data to either domestic or foreign external companies, harming Google’s investments in AI, hurting Google’s business partners, impacting the ease of accessing Google Search, and normalising government micromanagement of a daily user’s internet experience. “DOJ’s approach would result in unprecedented government overreach that would harm American consumers, developers, and small businesses — and jeopardize America’s global economic and technological leadership at precisely the moment it’s needed most,” said Walker. How could the proposal affect Google’s Chrome users? When you buy a new phone, it might be natural to find Google’s search browsers or apps pre-installed and ready for you to use. The idea of intentionally finding and downloading a rival service that suits you better - such as Microsoft’s Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Firefox, etc. - might not even cross your mind because Google is already present or is the easiest first choice. The DOJ’s proposals aim to break this chain for customers in America, by stopping Google from pushing its services as the go-to option for gadget users. For example, the DOJ’s filing proposed a “choice screen” even on Google devices to make sure that users can freely select either Google Search or a rival product as their default, without being nudged in Google’s direction. Needless to say, Google was not on board with this plan. “As just one example, DOJ’s proposal would literally require us to install not one but two separate choice screens before you could access Google Search on a Pixel phone you bought. And the design of those choice screens would have to be approved by the Technical Committee. And that’s just a small part of it. We wish we were making this up,” commented the company in its blog post. What are the next steps? The ball is now in U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta’s court, where the remedies will be evaluated next April. Google is also expected to propose its own remedies before Judge Mehta. Meanwhile, the DOJ will file a revised proposed final argument on March 7, 2025. It will continue to monitor Google’s activities and business operations to see if any other changes or remedies need to be added. A transition in the White House can’t be ignored as it is unclear how president-elect Donald Trump might weigh in on the legal matter. Trump had earlier threatened to shut down the search giant but backtracked later. On the other hand, Judge Mehta said the April 2025 trial would not be moved to accommodate late proposal revision requests by Trump-appointed DOJ officials.

Interacting virtually with participants at the grand finale of the Smart India Hackathon (SIH), the Prime Minister said the government was pushing reforms to clear roadblocks for the young, as India aims to become the world's most innovative, progressive, and prosperous country. "The world of the future will be guided by knowledge and innovation, and India's youth are the hope and drivers of this transformation," Modi said, noting that their distinct perspective, thinking, and energy set them apart. "India's strength today is its young innovators and its technological prowess," he added. Since its inception, the SIH has seen nearly 14 lakh students form two lakh teams to tackle about 3,000 problems, leading to the birth of hundreds of start-ups. Over 6,400 institutions are associated with the initiative, the Prime Minister informed. He highlighted the growth in participation - from 7,000 ideas in 2017 to over 57,000 this year - as proof that India's youth are stepping forward to resolve the country's challenges. Modi cited solutions born out of past hackathons already benefiting the public. One example was a team's 2022 project measuring cyclone intensity, now integrated with Isro's technology. Such breakthroughs, he said, reflect the need to think outside the box across every sector to meet India's aspirations. The Prime Minister pointed out that hackathons represent a new governance model where not just the government, but also students, teachers, and mentors contribute solutions. He called this a prime example of "Sabka Prayas" (everyone's effort). Emphasising the next 25 years as India's "Amrit generation," Modi said it is the youth's responsibility to build a developed India. To that end, the government is investing in the resources they need, unveiling initiatives like the new National Education Policy and establishing over 10,000 Atal Tinkering Labs. He also highlighted the "One Nation-One Subscription" scheme, giving students, researchers, and innovators free access to international journals, ensuring no young mind is left behind. Modi reiterated the government's alignment with the youth's vision and their infrastructural needs. He also repeated his commitment to bringing one lakh young people with no political family background into politics and announced the "Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue" in January 2025. This event, he said, will see millions of young Indians share their ideas for driving India's development forward.Pep Guardiola admits he is questioning himself after Manchester City’s latest defeat left them in danger of missing out on the Champions League knockout stages. City slumped to their seventh defeat in 10 games in all competitions as they were beaten 2-0 at Juventus in their latest European outing on Wednesday. Second-half goals from Dusan Vlahovic and Weston McKennie at the Allianz Stadium left Guardiola’s side languishing in 22nd place in the standings. Juventus beat Man City 💪 #UCL pic.twitter.com/H4KL15iCke — UEFA Champions League (@ChampionsLeague) December 11, 2024 With just two games of the league phase remaining, a place in the top eight and automatic last-16 qualification looks beyond them and they face a battle just to stay in the top 24 and claim a play-off spot. City manager Guardiola said: “Of course I question myself but I’m stable in good moments and bad moments. “I try to find a way to do it. I’m incredibly honest. If we play good (I say) we played good and today I thought we played good. “Our game will save us. We can do it. We conceded few chances compared to the Nottingham Forest game that we won. We’re making the right tempo. “We missed the last pass, did not arrive in the six-yard box (at the right time) or have the composure at the right moment. “But I love my team. This is life, it happens. Sometimes you have a bad period but I’m going to insist until we’re there.” City now face a crunch trip to Paris St Germain, who are also at risk of failing to qualify, next month. Guardiola accepts the top 24 is now the only aim. He said: “It’s the target. We need one point or three points. We go to Paris to try to do it and the last game at home.” Veteran midfielder Ilkay Gundogan said after the game he felt City were suffering from a loss of confidence but Guardiola dismissed his player’s comments. “I am not agreeing with Ilkay,” he said. “Of course it is tough but, except one or two games in this period, we’ve played good.” City now face a further test of their resolve as they host rivals Manchester United in a derby on Sunday. "We played well" Pep Guardiola trusts in his squad despite 2-0 loss to Juventus... 📺 @tntsports & @discoveryplusUK pic.twitter.com/VrmTzcTrEF — Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) December 11, 2024 Gundogan told TNT Sports: “It (confidence) is a big part of it. That’s a mental issue as well. “You can see that sometimes we miss the ball or lose a duel and you see that we drop immediately and lose the rhythm. They (the opponents) don’t even need to do much but it has such a big effect on us right now. “Even more you have to do the simple things as good as possible and create and fluidity, then it’s work hard again. This is how you get confidence back – do the small and simple things, (but) in crucial moments at the moment we are always doing the wrong things.” Juventus coach Thiago Motta was pleased with the hosts’ performance, which boosted their hopes of making the top eight. “It was a deserved victory,” he said. “We had to defend as a team and be ready to attack with quality. “We have shown we can compete at this level and now we have to do it consistently.”
Despite overwhelming evidence of the soldier's brutal actions, the defense argued that he was merely acting in self-defense and that his military training had kicked in, causing him to react violently in a high-stress situation. The prosecution, on the other hand, presented a compelling case that the soldier's actions were racially motivated and constituted a clear case of excessive force.
In conclusion, the end of the "lay flat era" for savings signals a paradigm shift in how individuals approach wealth accumulation and financial security.

The journey towards financial independence and stability may be arduous, but it is a journey worth embarking on for a brighter and more secure future.On the import side, China's total inbound shipments surged by 7.4% year-on-year, totaling around $2.16 trillion.
