Asked how gardening or being close to nature impacted his mental and emotional well-being over the years, Jackie told: “Being called a 'Plant Zaddy' is a badge of honour. Plants have taught me patience and kept me grounded.”

The government will help the ailing petrochemical sector's "voluntary" restructuring efforts aimed at tackling the industrywide crisis stemming from a global oversupply, the industry ministry said on Wednesday.

The road map for restructuring the petrochemical industry is aimed at reducing oversupply, transiting to the production of high-value specialty products, improving the fiscal health of companies and minimising the impact of the restructuring on regional economies, according to the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, reports Yonhap news agency.

The government support for the restructuring plan will be provided under three principles: "simultaneous" restructuring of three petrochemical industrial complexes, "sufficient" self-rescue efforts and preparation of a "feasible" business restructuring plan by companies, and the establishment of a "comprehensive" government support package, the ministry explained.

The plan was announced during a meeting of economy-related ministers on strengthening the industrial competitiveness of South Korea that came amid concerns that local petrochemical companies may not survive the ongoing crisis sparked by sluggish global demand and the oversupply of cheap Chinese products.

Mbappe's goal from the penalty spot guided Real Madrid to make a winning start to their LaLiga campaign at the Bernabeu.

Xabi Alonso's men, who dominated the game from start to finish, overcame Osasuna 1-0 on the opening matchday of the season.

After a goalless first half, Mbappe, last season's Golden Boot winner, gave the Madridistas the win with a penalty goal early in the second half of the clash. Carreras, who started the game, and Mastantuono made their official debuts for the team, Real Madrid reports.

Madrid started on top and pressed high up the pitch. Carreras was the first to try his luck with a long-range left-footed effort that went just wide (7'). Ten minutes later, Huijsen also attempted a shot from outside the area, but Sergio Herrera deftly pushed his effort wide.

A low-pressure system has formed over the west-central and northwest Bay of Bengal, close to the northern Andhra Pradesh and southern Odisha coasts, prompting the India Meteorological Department (IMD) to issue cyclone warnings for several Tamil Nadu ports.

According to the IMD, the system is expected to move in a west-northwest direction over the next few days.

As a result, heavy rainfall is likely along the coastal regions of Andhra Pradesh and Odisha, while Tamil Nadu, particularly its northeastern districts, is expected to experience intermittent showers influenced by the weather disturbance.

In view of the situation, cyclone warning signal number 1 has been hoisted at Nagapattinam port. Similar alerts have been sounded in eight other ports -- Chennai, Cuddalore, Puducherry, Karaikal, Ennore, Pamban, Kattupalli, and Thoothukudi.

Ex-England men's football team coach Gareth Southgate and USA women's team manager Emma Hayes have been named the 2025 recipients of the PFA Merit Award, recognising their contributions to football and achievements.

Appointed England manager in November 2016, Southgate ended his tenure as one of the most successful managers in the nation’s history. One of only three managers to take charge of 100 matches, he led the Three Lions to four back-to-back major tournaments, including the finals of EURO 2020 and EURO 2024.

Before stepping up to the senior side, Southgate played a pivotal role in developing future stars as manager of England U21s. He is widely credited with breathing new life into the national team by integrating a new generation of young talent. Over his tenure, he handed debuts to 42 players - nearly double that of any other England manager.
