Live Updates: Dravid out after a blinderik

Rajasthan Royals innings

8th over: Rajasthan 74 for 1 Ashok Menaria is the new batsman. He has the reputation of a big-hitter. A quiet over by all means as just four runs come off Daniel Christian.

7th over: Rajasthan 70 for 1 Rajan on again. What a start by the hosts. Dravid played a blinder of an innings. RR have got the start they wanted. Their best bet Rahane is still there. Match on. A four off the last ball. Rahane hits it straight back over the bowler's head.

Iran woos oil buyers with easy credit

London: Iran is trying to skirt US and European sanctions by luring nations to buy its oil on highly advantageous credit terms, say officials in the industry.

Tehran has been offering a handful of potential customers in Asia, including India, 180 days of free credit, according to the officials. They estimate that each month of credit amounts to a discount of roughly $1.2 to $1.5 a barrel.

But Gulf-based officials and European traders said Tehran was struggling to find new customers despite its generous credit terms. Nations in the European Union, as well as Turkey, Japan, South Korea and China, have all announced hefty cuts in their purchases of Iranian oil.

Iran's marketing offer is the latest sign that its oil industry is struggling under the impact of the sanctions. Its move comes before crucial talks between Tehran and western countries to discuss the Islamic republic's nuclear programme.

The US and Europe have imposed sanctions on Tehran's crude oil exports amid concerns that it is trying to develop a nuclear bomb. Iran insists its nuclear work is for peaceful civilian purposes to generate electricity.

The real threat to the open web lies with the opaque elite who run it

As Google co-founder Serge Brin pointed out in an interview with the Guardian, the future of the "open web" is under threat. The billionaire laid out his concerns that a combination of repressive governments and companies like Google's arch rivals, Apple and Facebook, are seeking to fence off or stifle the power of the internet.

Brin's contention that censorship and "walled gardens", such as Apple's operating systems and Facebook's world of applications, will throttle the world of free and linked information on which Google has built its fortune may be right. But it is also the case that many see Google's credibility and reliability as a standard bearer for the open web as increasingly compromised.

Universities failing on 'employability', students say

"My tutors were brilliant and without my course I wouldn't have the job I have, but there was no mention of careers," says Bee Pahnke, 21, who graduated last summer with a degree in creative writing from the University of Greenwich.

"In the third year we had a talk, but it all seemed to be 'if you want to do a master's and how to get published'. And I just thought, 'yes, I may do a master's and I may eventually publish a novel, but in the meantime I need and want a job.'"

Pahnke, now working as a junior writer at a business language consultancy, says that with creative jobs, there seems to be an assumption that "you have to be the luckiest person ever to land one of them. But there are jobs out there – it's a careers adviser's job to know what they are."

School music under threat

It's a weekday morning in Tower Hamlets and the Brady Arts and Community Centre is ringing with the sounds of the Doctor Who theme tune, performed by an orchestra of primary school musicians, some as young as six.

Nearly all primary-aged children in the area are entitled to a year's free instrumental lessons, funded by Tower Hamlets Arts and MusicEducation Service (Thames). Those who show promise, like the members of this orchestra, get a second year's free lessons. "The idea is to give all children, regardless of their background or family income, the opportunity to learn an instrument," says Karen Brock, who heads the service.

Thames is one of 165 music services in England and Wales that provide instrumental tuition and classroom music support in schools, as well as running out-of-hours activities such as orchestras, bands and music clubs.

Speakeasy app for the Games; horses given Eurotunnel preference; is USA Yoga stretching it with its Olympic idea?

Language app for visitors

A US professor has attempted to bridge the language gap at this summer's Games by creating a mobile phone app loaded with common British terms. The purpose-built Olympic translator can be set to over 20 languages to process 5,000 phrases that volunteers and emergency professionals are most likely to use. Giovanni Tata's design will enable users to speak into their device rather than type, something he believes will be quick and efficient. He told Deseret News: "[It's] similar to Google Translate but with that most of the time the translation is OK but not quite perfect."

Tearful Radcliffe sees hopes of Olympic medal fade in Vienna

Paula Radcliffe has had tougher runs, but not many that were so slow. Her finishing time in the Vienna half-marathon was 1hr 12min 3sec, the worst of her career over that distance. Radcliffe, 38, had never taken more than 70 minutes to run a half-marathon until this one. Her dream of winning an Olympic medal seems as distant from becoming a reality as it ever has.

Radcliffe has been suffering with bronchitis for the past two weeks, and came off antibiotics only the day before the race. Some will wonder why she ran here at all given that she was so ill she could only do a third of her training mileage in the buildup, but she wanted to fulfil her obligation to the race organisers.

After Radcliffe crossed the line she collapsed into a crouch, exhausted. When she stood up the first thing she did was apologise to the race director, Wolfgang Konrad, for producing such a disappointing performance. He insisted he was just happy to have her here at all. As Radcliffe and Konrad spoke she was still struggling for breath, and he later confirmed that underneath her sunglasses she was shedding a tear or two. He gave her a consoling hug, and Haile Gebrselassie patted her on the shoulder.

WINNING TIP: Atrani, Campania

The town of Atrani is approached on a viaduct wide enough to be a small park. From the balustrade at the back of it you can see straight down to the piazza. Around the square the houses cram, piled on each other, a dense mass threaded by passages and arches and many flights of steps – but only one street. Walk through the nearby tunnel and you'll emerge in another town, the larger, and more famous, Amalfi.amalficoastweb.com

'A million jobs for world's poorest' with UK cash boost for entrepreneurs

The government's attempt to use the private sector as an engine for development will move up a gear this week when the international development secretary, Andrew Mitchell, announces a plan to boost finance to entrepreneurs in some of the world's poorest countries.

Mitchell will tell the spring meeting of the World Bank in Washington that the UK intends to provide funds for a seven-year programme of financial support for banks designed to help 250,000 businesses create almost one million jobs.

Under the scheme, Britain will join the International Finance Corporation (IFC) – the arm of the World Bank that promotes private-sector investment – in creating a new package of support for banks in fragile and conflict-affected countries.

Business Housing market 'Nation of renters' warning from estate agency chief

The chief executive of the UK's largest estate agent has renewed calls on the government to intervene in the housing market to prevent future generations being priced out of owning a home.

Grenville Turner, the head of Countrywide, said the UK could become a country of renters after a survey commissioned by the company found that almost half of 18- to 34-year-olds said difficulty raising a deposit was the biggest barrier to buying a property.

Turner said: "We are at a crossroads for home ownership, where we could see the next generation becoming a nation of renters without the right intervention from government.

"Based on current levels of activity, the average home owner moves house once every 25 years as opposed to [historically] once every 12 years. These levels are unsustainable and we call for further support as a strong, vibrant, housing market contributes to GDP growth and will dramatically improve the economy."
