And whoever tops the three-team mini-group will secure…

Paris Saint-Germain forward Ousmane Dembele is the clear bookmakers’ favourite to win his first Ballon d’Or when the ceremony takes place on Monday night – although the Champions League winner won’t be there to pick up the prize if he is successful. The 28-year-old provided 43 goal contributions in 44 Ligue 1 and Champions League games last season, as PSG won both competitions as part of a historic treble that also included the Coupe de France.

Shubra Singh’s Saturday night dinner at a bar in Pittsburgh was ruined by the White House.Her eight Indian friends at the table, all techies on H-1B visas, were glued to their phones as they tried to get more information about U.S President Donald Trump’s latest move to raise fees for H-1B visa applications.Their families were frantically sending “all kinds of articles on the H-1B situation”, said Singh, an Indian biotech professional on work travel to the U.S., adding that the “anxiety was apparent.”About 71% and 11.7% of H-1B visa holders in the U.S are Indian and Chinese nationals, respectively.
