Quick Glance: Google terminates 28 employees after office occupation due to anti-Israel protests
- Google terminated 28 employees on Thursday who had occupied its offices to protest against contracts with the Israeli government, as confirmed by a Google spokesperson.
- The protesters were arrested and after refusing to leave the office of Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian in Sunnyvale or the workspace in New York City for nearly 10 hours, they were transferred to administrative positions to urge Google to terminate the Project Nimbus contract and cease business with the Israeli government.
- No Tech For Apartheid, a project by Jewish Voice for Peace and Linda Sarsour’s MPower Change, described the terminations as an "indiscriminate act of mass retaliation."
- The office occupations at Google were accompanied by demonstrations on-site and in Seattle, aiming to compel Google to withdraw from the project to establish cloud-based data centers and transition a significant portion of the Israeli government's IT infrastructure to cloud-based servers.

Quick Glance: Rohit Sharma Takes Charge as Mumbai Indians Captain in Final Over After Akash Madhwal Ignores Hardik Pandya's Suggestions
- Rohit Sharma took over as the captain of Mumbai Indians in the final over of the IPL 2024 match against Punjab Kings at the PCA Stadium in Mullanpur after Akash Madhwal ignored Hardik Pandya's inputs.
- Preferring the young right-arm pacer despite Madhwal's poor performance, Hardik engaged in a lengthy discussion, prompting Rohit's intervention.
- Due to their slow over rate, Mumbai Indians were limited to four fielders outside the 30-yard circle in the final over instead of the standard five.
- Despite initial challenges, MI managed to clinch the match by effectively countering Rabada's final impactful shots and securing the victory.
