(CNN) — India is set to surpass China as the world’s most populous nation, with almost 3 million more people by the middle of this year, data released by the United Nations on Wednesday showed.Based on the projections, India’s population by mid-year will reach 1.4286 billion, compared to China’s 1.4257 billion — 2.9 million fewer — according to the United Nations Population Fund’s (UNFPA) “State of World Population Report” for 2023.UN officials have said it is not possible to determine the exact date for the shift, due to “uncertainty” about the data coming from China and India. India’s last census was in 2011 and most recent, scheduled in 2021, was delayed during the Covid-19 pandemic.The United States is a very distant third, with an estimated population of 340 million, the data, which reflects information available as of February, showed.By 2050, eight countries will account for half the projected growth...Ultrarunner disqualified from race after using a car to complete part of the course

The MBTA is leaning toward shutting down the Blue Line each night at 7 for a month to remove the line’s remaining speed restrictions, work the general manager said would otherwise take six months with normal overnight track access.General Manager Phillip Eng said Wednesday that the T is planning to lift seven of the 21 remaining speed restrictions by the end of May. By sticking to typical overnight track access, from 1-3 a.m., it could take the agency until the end of November to remove the remaining slow zones, he said.The MBTA considered shutting down Blue Line service at 9 p.m. for two months to accelerate that work — by allowing crews three additional hours of track access per night — but is looking at a more aggressive plan that would speed up the remainder of the line in a month, Eng said.“We wanted to try and see if we could do a little better here,” Eng told the T’s Board of Directors. “So we’re looking at starting at 7 p.m. That would give seven hours of opportunity for act...Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa considered retirement after multiple concussions in 2022
