A federal judge sentenced Trever Lloyd Sexton, 29, of Del Rio, to 240 months in federal prison followed by eight years of supervision and ordered him to pay a fine of $10,000. According to court documents, between Dec. 1, 2019, and Feb. 19, 2020, Sexton caused a child victim to engage in sexually explicit conduct to produce child sexual abuse material. Sexton also placed a hidden camera in the child’s bathroom that recorded the victim showering. Forensic analysis of Sexton’s phone revealed a video and photos of him sexually molesting the child victim and 37 images depicting child sexual abuse of other prepubescent children. “With today’s sentencing, HSI has removed a dangerous child predator from the community,” said HSI San Antonio Special Agent in Charge Craig Larrabee. “Preventing and investigating crimes against children is a high priority for HSI. We will continue to dedicate law enforcement resources to identify and bring to justice child predators who traumatize and victimize children."" “Thanks to the agents of HSI for helping us get another pedophile behind bars and out of our neighborhoods,” said U.S. Attorney Jaime Esparza. “We will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to take predators off the streets.” Assistant U.S. Attorney Rex G. Beasley and former Assistant U.S. Attorneys for the Western District of Texas Ben Tonkin and Steven Kam prosecuted the case. HSI encourages the public to report suspected child predators and any suspicious activity through its toll-free tip line at 866-347-2423 or by completing its online tip form. Both are staffed around the clock. From outside the United States and Canada, callers should dial 802-872-6199. Hearing impaired users may call TTY 802-872-6196. HSI takes a victim-centered approach to child exploitation investigations by working to identify, rescue and stabilize victims. HSI works in partnership with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, ICAC partners, and other federal, state and local agencies to help solve cases and rescue sexually exploited children. You can report suspected child sexual exploitation or missing children to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children’s toll-free, 24-hour hotline at 800-THE-LOST. HSI is a founding member of the Virtual Global Taskforce, an international alliance of law enforcement agencies and private industry sector partners working together to prevent and deter online child sexual abuse. One of HSI’s top priorities is to protect the public from crimes of victimization, and HSI’s child exploitation investigations program is a central component of this mission set. Further, HSI is recognized as a global leader in this investigative discipline. The directorate is committed to utilizing its vast authorities, international footprint and strong government and nongovernment partnerships to identify and rescue child victims; identify and apprehend offenders; prevent transnational child sexual abuse; and help make the internet a safer place for children. HSI is the principal investigative arm of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, responsible for investigating transnational crime and threats, specifically those criminal organizations that exploit the global infrastructure through which international trade, travel, and finance move. HSI’s workforce of more than 8,700 employees consists of more than 6,000 special agents assigned to 237 cities throughout the United States, and 93 overseas locations in 56 countries. HSI’s international presence represents DHS’ largest investigative law enforcement presence abroad and one of the largest international footprints in U.S. law enforcement.",1

According to court documents, after an online undercover investigation, the Federal Bureau of Investigation alerted detectives with the Westfield Police Department to evidence that Erik Hanson was using the Kik communications application solicit sex with a 14-year-old girl. In fact, an undercover FBI Special Agent was communicating with Hanson posing as the child and the child’s father. In the conversations, Hanson stated that 14-year-old girls were his “favorite age” for sex, and that it was not a fantasy, but something he intended to act on. Hanson asked the ‘girl” for sexually explicit photos, sent her images of his penis, and attempted to meet with her for sex at a hotel in Tennessee. Hanson asked how soon he could meet with the 14-year-old girl because he wanted her to be “as young as possible.” Investigators obtained a warrant to search Hanson’s Kik account and located 91 91 photos and videos of child sexual abuse material including the sexual abuse of infants, child bondage, and child bestiality. On April 22, 2022, Hanson’s Westfield home was searched by HCMCETF and Homeland Security agents, who located multiple electronic iPhones and an iPad Hanson admitted contained child sexual abuse material. During an interview with agents, Hanson admitted to owning two Kik accounts for the purpose of viewing child sexual abuse material, and that he belonged to many online groups that traded these images. Over a period of three months, Hanson used CashApp multiple times to pay another individual a total of $75 to produce child sexual abuse material involving Minor Victim 1, who Hanson believed was the producer’s 11-year-old daughter. Hanson directed the other user to engage in specific sex acts with the child, and distributed some of this material to another individual. “Child predators wrongly believe that the internet will protect them. This defendant’s actions demonstrate that he is a dangerous pedophile, who must be kept away from our children in person and online,” said U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana, Zachary A. Myers. “The sentence imposed here ensures that the defendant will not be in a position to exploit or abuse any more children for many years. I commend the work of the dedicated investigators at the FBI, Homeland Security Investigations, the Hamilton County Metropolitan Child Exploitation Task Force, and the Westfield Police Department, to hold this predator accountable and remove him from our community.” “Today’s sentencing of Hanson sends an important message to all would-be predators: we will not allow this type of crime against children to go unpunished,” said HSI Chicago Special Agent in Charge Sean Fitzgerald. “HSI, along with our law enforcement partners, is dedicated to the eradication of sexual exploitation and will continue to pursue those who seek gratification from the abuse and pain of the most vulnerable members of society, our children.” FBI, Homeland Security Investigations, Hamilton County Metropolitan Child Exploitation Task Force, and the Westfield Police Department investigated this case. The sentence was imposed by U.S. District Court Judge, Chief Tanya Walton Pratt. Judge Pratt also ordered that Hanson be supervised by the U.S. Probation Office for life following his release from federal prison. Hanson must also pay $30,000 in restitution to his victims. U.S. Attorney Myers thanked Assistant United States Attorney Kyle Sawa, who prosecuted this case. This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims. ###",1

The seizure of assets comes as part of the ongoing investigation into the misuse of the HPZ app-based token. The scam also extended to fraudulent investments related to online gaming and betting. A probe has now revealed a larger conspiracy and the nexus of several entities in a fraud case involving Chinese entities. advertisement These attached assets are primarily in the form of balances held in bank accounts and merchant IDs associated with various shell and Chinese-linked entities. These accounts were used to facilitate funds related to illegal online gaming, betting activities, and investments in Bitcoin mining. The HPZ is an app-based token which promises users large gains by investing in mining machines for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. HPZ APP-BASED TOKEN UNDER SCANNER ED's actions follow its earlier decision to freeze HPZ's assets. In April this year, the ED had frozen Rs 91.6 crore parked in different bank accounts belonging to the entities controlled by one Bhupesh Arora and his associates, accused of misusing the app-based token to operate illegal gaming apps and websites. Subsequently, the ED ordered the freezing of these properties, initially frozen under section 17 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The ED's investigation began following a First Information Report (FIR) registered by the Cyber Crime Police Station in the capital of Nagaland. As per the FIR, the fraudsters used a modus operandi that enticed victims to invest in the HPZ app-based token, on the pretext of astronomical returns on their investments in Bitcoin mining. Investors were promised returns, with an investment of Rs 57,000 yielding Rs 4,000 per day for three months. However, the promised returns were often paid only once, after which, additional funds were asked from the victims. The ED, so far, has conducted a nationwide search across 26 locations in 2022 and 18 locations in 2023. In total, the agency has frozen assets linked to HPZ valued at approximately Rs 176.67 crore, the ED said, while adding that authorities are seeking to ""uncover the full extent of the alleged financial wrongdoing"".",1

The notice was issued a day after the Punjab Vigilance Bureau found irregularities in the purchase of a property in Bathinda, following which a case was registered against Badal and five others on Monday. Officials believe that Badal may flee the country to evade arrest, and have therefore put all airports on alert. Meanwhile, a local court is scheduled to hear an anticipatory bail hearing of Badal on Tuesday. Apart from Badal, former Bathinda Development Authority (BDA) chief administrator Bikramjit Shergill was also named in the case. The other four booked in the case were identified as Rajiv Kumar, Amandeep Singh, Vikas Arora and Pankaj. On the hunt for Badal The development follows an investigation launched by the vigilance bureau based on former MLA Sarup Chand Singla's complaint in 2021 alleging irregularities in the purchase of property at a prime location in Bathinda. Singla, who was earlier with the Shiromani Akali Dal, had claimed that Badal, as a minister in the previous Congress government, used his position to convert two commercial plots into a residential plot for himself. Badal had joined the BJP after quitting the Congress in January this year. The case was registered under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code, including sections 420 (cheating) and 468 (forgery), and also under the Prevention of Corruption Act On Monday, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann launched a tirade against Badal, saying those who used to boast about honesty are now running from pillar to post to save their skin. ""There is a huge difference between speaking the truth and standing by it,"" the chief minister said. “These leaders earlier used to say that they would wait for whatever action is taken against them, but are now seeking legal protection against arrest,” he added.",1

Congress is hoping to return to power in Madhya Pradesh. (HT PHOTO) The BJP in poll-bound Madhya Pradesh has continued attacking Congress for allegedly working against Sanatan Dharma since Stalin, whose Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam is a key constituent of the Opposition Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA), made the comment. Chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Saturday questioned his predecessor Kamal Nath’s silence over the insult to Sanatan Dharma and said the INDIA bloc is full of people insulting it. “When Sanatan Dharma is insulted you [Nath] keep quiet but when it comes to seeking votes, you become hypocritical…Why did not you utter even a word over the insult to Sanatan? Your alliance partners are abusing Sanatan... People of Madhya Pradesh will not tolerate this and give a befitting reply to your party.” Congress media in-charge KK Mishra hit back citing damage to the statues in Ujjain. “They did not spare even God. Crores of rupees were spent on the construction of Mahakal Lok in the holy city Ujjain but in just one storm, the idols were damaged as the government indulged in corruption.” The Madhya Pradesh Lokayukta this summer took cognisance of its own in the matter and ordered an inquiry into a Gujarat-based company’s alleged use of substandard material for the installation of the idols amid Congress’s allegations of corruption in the project. Six out of the seven idols of seven sages installed at the corridor collapsed due to gusty winds in May. Congress’s Madhya Pradesh in-charge Randeep Singh Surjewala last week also accused the BJP government of letting water accumulate in the Omkareshwar Dam to enable Chouhan’s smooth visit before releasing it at night and flooding the town. Chouhan unveiled at Omkareshwara a 108-feet-high statue of Adi Shankaracharya, who is credited with restoring Sanatan Dharma’s glory in the eighth century. State Congress spokesman Santosh Gautam said they were committed to highlighting the corruption of the BJP government in Ujjain, its ruining of the environment at Omkareshwar, and stalling Ram Van Gaman Path work at Chitrakoot which was started when Nath was the chief minister. He said the Congress leaders were highlighting these issues to expose the BJP’s real face. State BJP spokesman Hitesh Bajpai said that people know who champions Sanatan Dharma and those who are against it. “The problem with Congress leaders is they see corruption even in development...Congress leaders amassed wealth in the name of development. ...people will reject the party [Congress].” The BJP, which has since 2003 been in power in the state barring 18 months between 2018 and 2020, faces anti-incumbency and infighting in Madhya Pradesh, where polls are due this year along with four other states. The five states account for roughly 15% of India’s population. The five assembly elections are expected to set the tone for the 2024 national elections. The Congress hopes to form the next government in Madhya Pradesh three years after it lost power there in March 2020 when 22 legislators resigned. SHARE THIS ARTICLE ON",1

Have Wiped Out Entire Militant Leadership

Situation normal despite Kokernag gunfight

Kathua- Jammu and Kashmir’s Director General of Police (DGP) Dilbagh Singh Wednesday said that 400 locals have been identified who are presently in Pakistan and Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) working to fuel terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir through their supporters.

“We have identified some 400 locals from J&K who are present in Pakistan and PoK. These people are involved in running terrorism here through various means. These people work for various terrorist outfits. We have decided to zero in on their handlers and supporters here,” the DGP told reporters during his visit to the Bhalesa area of Doda.

He said that very soon these people will feel isolated and won’t be able to carry out their “nefarious designs.”

Replying to a query, he said that terrorism was at its low in J&K as major terror outfits like Jaish-e-Muhammad, Lashkar-e-Taiba and Hizbul Mujahideen are facing leadership crisis after we ‘wiped out’ their all leaders. He said there was a huge difference between Doda of the 1990s and Doda of 2023. “Today, people are living a peaceful life,” he said.

Earlier, during his visit to Kathua district of Jammu, DGP stated that after the administration handed over police recruitment to a separate agency, there are 4000 vacancies of constables in the department while deficiency is being felt everywhere.

“Earlier, police would conduct its recruitment drives itself. Since the recruitment process was handed over to some separate agency, there are 4000 vacancies of police constables in the department. The deficiency in ranks is being felt everywhere in J&K,” DGP Singh said.

He said that Kathua and its remote villages are maintaining communal harmony. “There are hardworking people who spend days in fields and shops to earn their livelihood. Peaceful atmosphere is prevailing in this district,” the DGP said, adding that “there is a great demand for the police recruitment drives as youth here are facing unemployment.”

He said that police had been always giving priority to border areas whenever recruitment drives were held in the past.

Asked about situation post the Kokernag encounter where two army officers and a police officer were killed, the DGP said “situation continues to remain peaceful as it was earlier.”

He said that neighbouring country always hatches conspiracies to destabilise the peace but police and forces are alert to foil all such bids. (With Inputs from KNO)

 The post  Census workers face physical attacks, harassment  appeared first on  The Namibian . Census enumerators have allegedly become the victims of physical attacks and harassment while collecting data.

Namibia Statistics Agency enumerator Thiggipo Haihambo (33) says he was attacked by a group of five men at Oshakati West in the Oshana region on Wednesday evening.

“They approached me and were fighting to get hold of my census bag, which contained the tablet I use in the field, a power bank, books and copies of my identity documents, among many other personal items.

“I had to fight and run for my life, but I managed to get away with a cut in my face and a few scratches,” he says.

Haihambo says enumerators need police protection.

Oshana regional police commissioner Teophilus Kamati has confirmed the incident.

“Yes, a case was opened here at Oshakati Police Station of an incident that happened at Ompumbu, where a census enumerator residing in that area was attacked at around 21h00.

“The victim was on duty listing the households at Ompumbu. The suspects are unknown and no arrests have been made,” he says.

The driver of a census team, who prefers to remain anonymous, says his team was chased away by a farm owner in the Okahandja vicinity on Monday.

“We entered a farm and were sent back by a frustrated plot owner, who said we are driving an expensive vehicle and want to disturb his workers while they are on duty.

“We vacated the farm because he chased us, and it was not a good experience. We had to run back to the vehicle fast,” he says.

According to one of the team supervisors at Rundu in the Kehemu constituency, who preferred anonymity, some people do not want to cooperate, mostly those in the suburbs.

“An enumerator reported that her cellphone was grabbed by a group of four men, but with the help of the community who traced one of the culprits, the police managed to recover the cellphone,” he said.

The chairperson of the Ohangwena Regional Council, Erickson Ndawanifwa, has urged enumerators to report incidents of assault and intimidation to the nearest authorities, including councillors’ offices.

“We have been conducting awareness on radio regarding this census. We are informing communities through radio to welcome the enumerators and allow them to carry out their national duties.

“These people are doing work that is not only for the government, but for all of us. Let’s refrain from intimidating them and adhere to calls to welcome them to carry out their duties,” he said this week.

The Namibian has received several reports of members of the public demanding to take photos of enumerators, which are shared on neighbourhood watch groups.

Pictures of the team operating at Swakopmund’s Kramersdorf area were taken and circulated so that people in the area could be familiar with them.

This did not sit well with Tuhafeni Petrus, the Affirmative Repositioning leader at the town.

He says census officials should not be treated like criminals who are invading people’s privacy, unless their behaviour is questionable.

“This practice of taking pictures of the census teams should stop. These are state officials and they should be allowed to carry out their work,” he says.

NSA spokesperson Sakaria Ipumbu has advised against taking pictures of enumerators.

“Taking pictures is really not necessary, and may expose our enumerators to abuse. We have liaised with the police, city police, and neighbourhood watch groups throughout the entire country to assist to ensure this census is as safe as possible,” he says.

NSA statistician general Alex Shimuafeni has confirmed that an enumerator was assaulted in the Oshana region.

He says there is an agreement with the police and neighbourhood watch groups to ensure the safety of enumerators.

Shimuafeni said this during an interview with Desert Radio yesterday.

“It is unfortunate that he was assaulted, however he didn’t inform his supervisor that he was going to collect data at night,” he said.

Shimuafeni said arrangements would have been made for the rest of the team or the police to accompany the enumerator – especially to crime hotspots.

He confirmed that a census officer has encountered locked farm gates at Okahandja and returned with the police to speak to the farmers. He, however, said the team was not chased away.

“We are working with the police to make sure the safety of enumerators and public is secured,” Shimuafeni said.",1

 The post  Shikongo warns ‘lazy’ cops and prosecutors  appeared first on  The Namibian . Police inspector general Joseph Shikongo has warned “lazy” police officers and prosecutors who blame each other for missing or misplaced dockets.

This results in endless delays in court cases, he says.

“But then you also find lazy police officers and prosecutors, who will say the docket is with the police, and the police will say the docket is at the court.

“These are the issues we need to stop,” he says.

Shikongo says law-enforcement agencies should serve the public with humility and integrity.

“In the Namibian police, we have registered cases of lazy police officers where a docket went missing or a docket is misplaced, and they come and say they recall we had a case,” he says.

According to Shikongo, a specific docket was sent to an officer years ago, yet the officer kept insisting the docket was at the Office of the Prosecutor General.

“One day we said let’s go and look for that docket. We found the docket in his office. These are the issues. There may be other dockets that are misplaced somewhere else,” he says.

He says incidents such as these fuel growing frustration and dissatisfaction among the public.

WORKSHOP

Shikongo made these remarks at a five-day workshop at Swakopmund this week.

The workshop is being attended by police officers and public prosecutors.

Shikongo called on officers to improve their service delivery by doing introspection.

“Integrity and humility will serve us,” he said.

Speaking at the same event, prosecutor general Martha Imalwa said in the past, prosecutors have prosecuted on theft, assault, housebreaking, normal fraud and normal corruption.

“Currently, we are talking about emerging crimes, and I want you as prosecutors to take note that Namibia is respected internationally.

“If you are not fighting crime then no one would want to come to our country,” she said.

Attorney general Festus Mbandeka said cases of sexual and gender-based violence against women and children remains alarmingly high.

He said such cases require meticulous study and diligent presentation of evidence to ensure successful prosecution.

“Therefore we require proper and ongoing coordination between all law-enforcement agencies,” Mbandeka said.

‘NOT INTERESTED IN TESTIFYING’

Human rights lawyer Kadhila Amoomo said there are officers who are not interested in testifying in courts, but only in arresting suspects.

Amoomo said he supports Shikongo’s sentiments that there are lazy police officers who deliberately withhold information from the court and deliberately do not bring dockets to court.

“This is because of the fact that if you are involved in a trial, you will be spending your whole day at court just testifying, and many police officers are not interested in that,” he said.

He said this results in many cases being withdrawn.

The lawyer said once confidence in the judiciary is lost by the public it is difficult to recover.

“Public trust is crucial,” he said.

According to Amoomo, in the past five years, public confidence in the Namibian judiciary has been on the decline, with various stakeholders to blame.

“It is not only police officers and prosecutors but also lawyers and presiding officers. Everyone must play a role so that we retain our public confidence in our judiciary,” he said.

NOT IMPRESSED

Amoomo said he is worried that the government is importing judges from Zimbabwe into the country’s mainstream judiciary.

“They come from a judiciary with very little public confidence. For them now to be imported into our judiciary simply doesn’t make sense. It would make sense if their judiciary was ranked above ours,” he said.

COMPROMISING QUALITY

Asked what impact delays in court cases have on the rights of both victims and accused, Amoomo said it compromises the quality of the proceedings.

“The further the matter is delayed, the more the memory of the witnesses is compromised,” he said.

“The more delays in proceedings, the more the accused person’s preparations are hindered. It also has a financial impact on the accused person, because lawyers’ fees keep going up,” he said.

“The quality of the entire trial is affected by the availability of witnesses as time goes on. Their addresses may change and some may pass away, and this affects the outcomes of proceedings,” he said.

COURT BACKLOG

Speaking at the opening of the 2023 legal year at the Supreme Court in Windhoek in February, chief justice Peter Shivute said during the past year judges dealing with civil cases in the High Court attended to 10 014 matters, of which 6 465 have been finalised.

Also during 2022, 1 012 civil cases were referred for court-connected mediation, resulting in out-of-court settlements in 332 of those matters.

In the High Court, judges presided over 140 criminal trials, of which only 20 were completed in the court’s main division in Windhoek during 2022.

Of the criminal cases on the High Court’s roll during 2022, 63 involved violence against women and children, and 21 involved fraud or theft, Shivute said.

The country’s lower courts dealt with 64 536 cases in the past year and finalised 26 756 matters, he reported.

That figure is 9 065 more than the number of cases concluded in the lower courts during 2021, he said.",1

(Representative Image) In the recent past, independent directors have been vilified and memed for failing to flag corporate governance issues. But an independent director of Modulex Construction Technologies Ltd (MCTL), Sandeep Khurana, seems to have taken matters to the other extreme. In his 65-page resignation letter, he wrote that he was leaving MCLT “in disgust”, from being “devastated” and for having been “humiliated”, for not being given adequate protection as a whistleblower and for being threatened when he flagged corporate governance concerns. “I have been intimidated in the performance of my duties,” he wrote in the letter, which was submitted to the exchange by MCTL’s company secretary and compliance officer. In a March 18 filing, the company responded to Khurana’s letter, in which it also stated that the Listing Compliance of BSE has advised the company to provide clarification on the points raised by him. MCTL has called the allegations malicious and has stated that they are “mala fide” and “actuated by malice aforethought”. “It has to be also painfully pointed out that by spinning a resignation letter on half-truths and falsities, Mr. Khurana has not approached the BSE with clean hands,” the response added. According to the company’s statement, factors that “subtracted from the dignity of Mr Khurana’s office” are many and they include “degrading behaviour” towards staff members, “cruel behaviour” to persons with disability, and “vexatious, malicious, and orchestrated complaints to SEBI and other bodies”. The statement said that he refused to participate in any independent examination of his complaints and that he indulged in social-media stalking of Disciplinary Committee members among other things. Also read: The fuzzy world of corporate governance laws Contentious rights issue? It all seems to centre around a rights issue. A rights issue is a way for a company to raise money from existing shareholders by giving them the option of buying additional shares at a discounted price. Modulex’s stated objective for the rights issue was to invest in a group company called Give Viduet Windows and Doors Pvt Limited (GVWDPL) that makes doors, windows; and to finance MCTL’s wholly-owned subsidiary MMBPL’s building of a factory. Khurana called the issue a “ponzi scheme” and the company's response referred to it as ""The Bogeyman"". The rights issue was presented before the Board in March 2022 and Khurana wrote that he found the rights-issue agenda “sketchy”, with not enough details such as the issue’s purpose, date and the number of shares to be issued and at what price. He wrote, in his resignation letter, that on further investigation he found that the money was being raised to buying out investors in GVWDPL, a shell company where money was being raised for onward funding of MMBPL. Along with his letter, Khurana submitted a copy of an email from MCTL’s chief operating officer. The email said that GVWDPL had raised Rs 24.96 crore of which Rs 18.78 crore was loaned to MMBPL for funding the project. The email further said that the investors (in GVWDPL) were asking for an exit because of the delay in raising debt (for the factory building) and therefore, the rights issue was decided upon to raise capital and buy out these investors. Khurana then raised questions on the remaining Rs 6.18 crore. Also, why was it being routed through GVWDPL? Khurana wrote that MCTL’s claims that GVWDPL was a group company and that it was a manufacturer of doors and windows were misleading. According to him, GVWDPL is a subsidiary of another company called Prashant Developers and Red Ribbon Group (under which Modulex falls) holds just 7.68 percent of the paid-up capital. He also said that the balance sheet of this subsidiary shows it to be a shell company or at most a finance company. “It has no revenue from operations, neither in 2021, nor in 2020 nor in 2019 and even earlier than that. The income that it generates is only book entries, on account of loans extended,” he wrote. He noted with amusement, that a company with net fixed assets of Rs 28,265 could make doors, windows and such, and that it had no employee expenses. He asked, “How could manufacture of doors, windows and their frames happen without the employees?"" Khurana wrote that the whistleblower’s complaint was never brought to the attention of BSE. He wrote, “It (GVWDPL) can only boast of an object clause of a Memorandum of Association which claims that it has an object to manufacture windows and doors. On a lighter note, I can incorporate a company with an object to launch satellites.” In July 2022, Khurana was removed from the audit committee and, in November 2022, the company put another resolution forward to the board — a preferential issue of MCTL’s shares to GVWDPL and for MCTL to be paid in GVWDPL’s shares, or a share swap deal. According to Khurana, it was just the rights issue in a new format. He wrote that while the rights issue would have meant raising money in MCTL to buy shares of GVWDPL, with the preferential issue, MCTL’s shares would be swapped with the others without a lock-in. That is, the letter implied either way GVWDPL’s shareholders were being compensated with MCTL’s shareholder assets. From such a share swap deal, Khurana estimated that the loss to MCTL would be close to Rs 100 crore. Counter charge MCTL’s BSE filing stated that calling GVWDPL a shell company was “baseless” and “reckless”. “GVWDPL is a manufacturing company that is yet to commence operations and therefore there is no revenue to be shown,” MCTL’s filing stated. It added that the rights issue was not pursued and that only a proposal on it and on investment in GVWDPL were made. The filing also pointed to certain details that it claimed were missing in Khurana’s resignation letter, such as Khurana-chaired audit committee’s approval of loans extended from GVWDPL to MMBPL and MCTL and his issuing invoices to GVWDPL for Rs 32.5 lakh in his own name and another one of Rs 32.5 lakh from Insight Financial Services Pvt Ltd of which he is an owner/director. According to the company, funds were being raised through the rights issue to complete the construction of MMBPL’s facility. It said that the subsidiary was pursuing a construction technology that would challenge the conventional method. The new technology, according to the company, would be able to construct entire buildings in a few months and would be a challenge to the existing real-estate industry, and therefore would have its “fair share of enemies/detractors”. On the fund-raising, MCTL’s BSE filing stated that it had only used a “time-tested strategy” of using both debt and equity sources. “Since the technology itself is new and novel, funding is a challenging aspect. Consequently, MCTL had attempted to raise equity through a rights issue,” it added. The filing also stated that Khurana was aware of the ultimate objective to acquire GVWDPL as far back as 2019. Then, a proposal to buy equity shares of GVWDPL by way of preferential allotments and pricing as determined by the BSE was “considered” by the Board and that Khurana, being the chairman of the audit committee until July 2022, was fully aware of all material aspects at that time. It stated that Khurana had initially raised certain concerns about the rights issue and they were “fully addressed by the Board of MCTL at all times”. On the questions raised by Khurana on the details of the rights issue in the March 2022 Board meeting, the filing stated that the questions were not placed in the agenda of the meeting, and therefore, the details were not readily available and that the details were later provided through an email dated April 20, 2022. Also read: Nykaa's bonus issue: Independent directors' failure is galling: fraud-investigation expert Share-sale troubles According to Khurana, he was stopped from selling his shares for 12 months by “using the loopholes and flaws” in the listing guidelines even though they were aware that he needed the money for a family ceremony in July 2022. He wrote that the company’s management and board members did this by delaying earnings release for four quarters — from the one ending in March 2022 to the one ending in December 2022. The first of these, of the March quarter, was allegedly delayed to prevent the release of the whistleblower complaint he had raised on April 22, 2022. On March 20, 2023, the company released its unaudited earnings for September 2022 quarter. Besides causing him grief, the delay in the release of the earnings report cost the company Rs 19,04,960 at Rs 5,000 a day, he wrote.",1

“Stringent police action awaits the accused. Nobody can get away with a wrong act,” Kumar told media persons here during the birth anniversary celebrations of former Jan Sangh leader Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyay.

Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav, Finance Minister Vijay Kumar Chaudhary and other ministers were also present on the occasion.

Notably, a Dalit woman of Mosimpur village under Khusrupur police station was kidnapped by one Pramod Singh and taken to his house. As per the victim, Singh and his men stripped her and assaulted her brutally.

The accused’s son Anshu Singh also urinated in her mouth, she alleged, adding that she somehow managed to escape from the confinement.

Her relatives alerted the police officers who rescued the woman from the village.

According to the woman, she had borrowed Rs 1,500 on interest from Pramod Singh a few months ago which was returned.

Despite getting the entire money back with interest, the accused was pestering her for more interest, demand which she denied.

As Pramod was threatening to strip her in public, she lodged a complaint with Khusrupur police station.

Following her complaint, the police called Singh to join the probe in the police station. He went to the police station on Saturday for questioning.

After returning home, Singh reached the victim’s house in the night and kidnapped her with the help of his supporters and committed the heinous crime.

Following the incident, Patna police swung into action and raided the house of the accused but failed to get them as they had fled from there. “We have registered an FIR against the accused in Khusrupur police station. Preliminary investigation reveals that the victim and accused had some dispute over money and the accused had beaten her. These two allegations have been established in the probe, while other allegations of stripping and urinating in her mouth are being investigated. We are raiding at different locations to nab the accused. They have locked the house and fled from there,” said Syed Imram Masood, the rural SP of Patna district.

A senior police officer said the horrifying incident occurred in Lathigram village and the accused has been identified as Najir Uddin Laskar.

According to a complaint filed by the man’s wife Farida Begam, she was a victim of domestic violence ever since her marriage to Laskar whom she described as a serial abuser.

“On Thursday evening (September 21), he beat me mercilessly as I had to go to my mother’s house. The next day, I heard that he had sold my six-year-old daughter Ayesha. I went to his place and asked the whereabouts of my daughter but he did not say anything,” Farida told reporters.

A missing case was registered at the police station by Farida accusing her husband’s role in the matter.

Police subsequently arrested Laskar on September 23.

Meanwhile on Sunday evening, locals found the body of a child in the Udharbond area near a drain.

They informed the police and the body was identified as that of Ayesha’s.

The body was sent for post-mortem to the Silchar Medical College and Hospital.

Farida Begom has demanded capital punishment for the accused.

The police produced Laskat in the court and took him on a three-day remand.

“We have been interrogating him. Further investigation is underway,” an officer said.

In another work, the score tells us that a fountain is installed in the exhibition space to cancel sound. Which it does, gushing away in a low steel drum, and leaking on to the floor. It almost cancels thought. There’s a carefully disguised absurdist streak to Leung’s straight-faced scores. Or at least, I hope there is.

Jesse Darling’s wonky steel pedestrian barriers and skewed railway tracks (the sort, apparently, used in the mining industry) tilt awkwardly and lean drunkenly and the tracks pitch and yaw and make their way through a hole gouged high up in the wall. Dismal and faded union jack bunting flaps from a maypole decorated with unravelling warning tape, and bandaged aluminium crutches lean against the walls for support. Everything here is bent and busted and unfit for purpose, a theatre of last things, the damaged and the precarious, the walking wounded and the patched-up. Frilly net curtains and tangles of razor wire decorate the entrance.

Sculptural ideas and a sort of Beckettian fortitude and humour keeps it all stumbling along. “The zombie apocalypse is now, this is it!” shouts Darling in the little Tate films that profile each of the artists. Darling’s film hijacks the standard format and takes the film crew on a road trip to Felixstowe container port. A journey to the end of the world, it is better, even, than his show.

The wretched official forms and pieces of documentation that members of the Windrush generation who had been denied their lawful immigration status had to provide in order to avoid deportation are made all the more squalid by being re-drawn and enlarged in Barbara Walker’s Burden of Proof. Every crease and smudge, all the weary typewritten questions and scrawled addendums of these official forms and bits of paperwork are carefully recorded, tracing the bureaucratic processes that these pieces of evidence have gone through. The papers look worn out.

Portraits of the victims of the scandal overlay the dreary forms and proofs of employment status. Walker records all the minutiae with scrupulous objectivity. She’s also drawn a number of portraits of those who have been affected by the scandal directly on the wall at the Towner, at huge scale. Burden of Proof is made all the more painful by Walker’s straightforward approach. It is hard not to come out screaming by the end of it.

Rory Pilgrim’s RAFTS offers a bit of relief. Working over several years with members of Green Shoes Arts, a project in Dagenham and Barking, London for the socially deprived and vulnerable people, Pilgrim has made a long film of his collaboration, which also gave rise to a six-part oratorio, in which the idea of the raft as a support structure and a means of escape became the subject. People compose poems, sit on park benches, commune with trees. An unemployed man can’t survive on minimum wage. He’d like to see universal credit and flying cars.

Interviews with the participants and scenes of young people dancing in a Dagenham stadium (to a song written by Pilgrim) intersperse poetry readings and song, with an orchestra (in which Pilgrim plays harp and piano) and choir. Pilgrim’s oratorio was later recorded live at a concert venue. Each of these films lasts over an hour. Artworks by the participants in RAFTS are also hung about the space among Pilgrim’s own delicate little paintings and drawings. He has described himself as having a queer, camp sensibility, and I think he plays up a certain preciousness in his art. His films and social practice are more interesting, and full of hope and heart. But give me the zombie apocalypse any day, and a win for Jesse Darling.",1

Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh said now that the special session of Parliament is over, it is clear that the Modi government was trying to “distract and divert” the nation from some critical issues – “the Adani scam, the caste census and especially the rising unemployment, growing inequality and the economic distress

In a statement, he said that no matter how much the Modi government hides the data, the reality is that the vast majority of people are suffering.

He claimed that some of the facts reported last week are being “brushed under the carpet”.

He said RBI’s latest bulletin of September 2023 shows the “complete failure” of the Modi government to execute a recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.

He said that 43 per cent of people were in the labour force in February 2020 and over 3.5 years later, the participation rate remains around 40 per cent.

“As a matter of grave concern, a report from Azim Premji University shows that over 42 per cent of graduates under the age of 25 were unemployed in 2021-22. In 2022, women were still making only 85 per cent of their earnings before the pandemic. Remember that India was already facing the highest unemployment rate in 45 years before the onset of the pandemic — a statistic that the Modi government tried hard to hide from the public domain,” he said.

He said that the prices of essential commodities have been rising sharply, impacting the household budget of ordinary families.

“After the uncontrolled spike in tomato prices, now tur dal prices are up 45 per cent from January 2023, and overall pulses inflation has touched 13.4 per cent. Prices of atta are up 20 per cent since August, basen is up 21 per cent, gur is up 11.5 per cent, sugar is up 5 per cent. Uncontrolled price rises across the essential household sector shows the inability of the Modi government to manage the economy,” he said.

The Congress leader also said that the crony capitalism of the Modi government has concentrated all economic benefits to a select few firms, making it next to impossible for MSMEs to compete.

“A report by Marcellus found that 80 per cent of all profits went to just 20 companies in 2022. In contrast, the market share of small business was at its lowest level in India’s history; small business sales were around 7 per cent of the total before 2014 but fell to under 4% in Q1 2023. Seventy five per cent of small businesses are losing money, according to a 2023 survey of 100,000 small business owners by Consortium of Indian Associations,” he said.

Noting that credit to the private sector is the engine of growth, Ramesh said a decade of stagnant credit is a symptom of a mismanaged economy.

According to World Bank data shown in last week’s RBI bulletin, from 2004 to 2014, domestic credit to the private sector grew consistently and rapidly, he said.

“Credit grew from 36.2 per cent of GDP in 2004 to 51.9 per cent of GDP in 2014. However, since 2014, credit growth has stagnated. In 2021, domestic credit was at just 50.4 per cent — lower than it was in 2014!” Ramesh said.

It should be a matter of grave concern to the government that household financial liabilities have been growing rapidly, the Congress leader asserted.

Ramesh said that the Finance Ministry wants us to believe that people are buying homes and vehicles, but RBI data shows that there is a major spike in gold loans by 23 per cent and personal loans by 29 per cent, over the past year – clear signs of distress, as people go into debt to meet basic expenses.

“Further, RBI data shows household savings growth has come down sharply, from 7.2 per cent of GDP in FY22 to just 5.1% in FY23. This is a 47-year low in savings growth rate, and reflective of the overall slowdown in the Indian economy under the Modi Government,” he said.

Ramesh said that for the first time in a decade, FDI inflows have declined in India.

The RBI bulletin showed that FDI decreased 16 per cent in FY23, he pointed out.

“Further, as a percentage of GDP, after more than doubling from 0.8 per cent in 2004 to 1.7 per cent in 2014, FDI has been stagnant — inflows were just 1.5 per cent of GDP in 2022. Foreign investors are increasingly unwilling to put their money in India due to the Modi Government’s crony capitalism, failed economic policies, and stoking of communal tensions,” the Rajya Sabha MP alleged.

“From increasing unemployment, rising prices of household essentials, shrinking MSME sales, slow domestic credit growth, increased household financial liabilities and decreased savings, and declining FDI, the Modi government has mismanaged the economy across all sectors,” Ramesh said.

Targeting the government, he further said that ordinary families and small businesses are under intense pressure, but the government is “too inept to fix it and so is busy distorting the data instead”.

The Congress has been critical of the government over economy and the issues of unemployment and price rise.

 The post  Masvingo City bans drinking of Kambucha, Kombucha: Employees getting drunk at work  appeared first on  Zw News Zimbabwe . Masvingo City Council: It’s now a disciplinary issue for any of their employees to be seen drinking Kambucha and Kombucha while at work.

Both drinks have been available in Zimbabwe since 2019 and are mostly found in small shops around the capital.

Kambucha, which comes in varieties, is a drink made from ginger, garlic, lemon, honey, rosemary and black pepper.

Kombucha, which has its roots in Zambia, is a fermented, lightly effervescent, sweetened black tea drink.

So, why have the Masvingo City Council leaders decided to ban the drinks from their premises?

Town Clerk, Edward Mukaratirwa claims there is alcohol in these two drinks, which have been widely available in this country since 2019.

Their consumption, he says, has contributed to the situation they have been facing where many of their employees were working under the influence of alcohol.

There has been a rise in alcohol and drug abuse among its employees.

Repeated attempts to get a comment from the management at Kambucha were not successful yesterday.

The Masvingo City Council’s experts suspect there is alcohol in the two drinks and this was having an intoxicating effect on some of their employees. An internal notice sent to all departments highlighted the issue of drug and alcohol abuse among workers at the municipality.

The notice was prompted by visible signs of intoxication among some employees, with some even lacing the Kambucha/Kombucha drinks with illicit drugs such as mutoriro.

“We noticed rampant drug abuse across all departments within our employees in the lower ranks, especially those who were in rehabilitation for alcohol and drug abuse.

“Besides, the Kambucha drink itself contains alcohol which some of our streetwise workers were actually lacing with illicit drugs such as mutoriro under the guise of drinking an energy drink,” said Mukaratirwa.

Last week, council wrote to all its departments stating that most of their employees were abusing drugs.

“The notice (against the abuse of Kambucha/Kombucha) was an internal communication which leaked to the outside, but it was inspired by rampant drug and alcohol abuse by some of our workers. We discovered that most of our employees were taking drugs and alcohol at work and this was evident through visible signs of intoxication hence we resolved to outlaw Kambucha drinking,” Mukaratirwa said.

 The post  Man walks into Mpilo Hospital with a spear  lodged in his skull  appeared first on  Zw News Zimbabwe . DOCTORS at Mpilo Central Hospital saved the life of an artisanal miner from Inyathi in Bubi district, Matabeleland North who had a spear lodged in his skull.

The victim, Mr Ishmael Tshabalala was attacked following a fierce fight with a rival suitor resulting in him sustaining life-threatening injuries.

During the fight, Mr Tshabalala was stabbed with a spear in the head and the spear was stuck in his skull.

Dr Garikai Mwale, a specialist neurosurgeon at the hospital who was among the doctors who conducted a surgical operation to remove the spear, said Mr Tshabalala was lucky to be alive after sustaining life-threatening injuries.

“The patient had a penetrating skull injury coming from the front and going out to the side. It passed through the bone, the brain and went to the other side. The patient sustained a serious injury but fortunately when he came to the hospital he was fully conscious,” he said.

Dr Mwale said they managed to stabilise the patient and took a CT (computerised tomography) scan as they prepared for his surgical operation.

“We managed to operate on the patient. The spear also encroached onto one of the bigger veins, one of the sinuses but we managed to control the bleeding,” he said.

Dr Mwale said the patient was yesterday in the Intensive Care Unit but was stable. He said Mr Tshabalala was lucky as the spear missed all his vital organs.

“Severe force was used to penetrate bone in two places and he is very fortunate to be alive. He is fortunate in that the weapon missed all the major blood vessels in the brain,” he said.

Dr Mwale said they are concerned with admissions emanating from violent crimes.

He said almost every weekend they attend to patients with injuries from assaults.

“Doctors who work at the weekends usually attend to many cases of individuals injured from assaults by weapons such knobkerries or stabbing by knives. This is quite a big problem,” said Dr Mwale.

He said such cases were straining limited resources at the hospital.

“When Mr Tshabalala came we were supposed to attend to a patient with a brain tumor but we had to postpone the surgical operation to attend to Mr Tshabalala since his case was an emergency,” said Dr Mwale.

He said he was the only neurosurgeon at the hospital and generally the hospital has few doctors who at times are overwhelmed by demand for their services.

Mpilo Central Hospital chief executive officer Dr Narcacius Dzvanga said as health authorities they were worried by increased cases of violence leading to injuries and sometimes death.

He blamed widespread drug and alcohol abuse which he said needs to be addressed urgently.

“There is a lot of substance abuse out there among the youth hence the increased cases of violence.

We witness very frightening cases of people coming to the hospital with spears stuck in their heads,” said Dr Dzvanga.

Sources said Mr Tshabalala and is assailant were fighting over a woman.

“The case is under police investigation and these guys are small scale miners in Inyathi who were fighting over a woman,” said the source.

Police have filed cases against many protestors, claiming that the agitations are supported by Maoists. The road to Todgatta is long, rocky, and winding. The village is located in Etapalli tehsil of Maharashtra’s Gadchiroli district, close to the border of Chhattisgarh.

Google Maps does not show a drivable route from Gadchiroli town to Todgatta. On the afternoon of August 27, it took us six hours to travel the approximately 150 km by car.

Beyond the town of Etapalli, the road grew narrow, and the landscape of scattered buildings gave way to fields and forests interspersed with streams. Golden sunlight lit up several shades of green – from the fluorescent green of freshly sown paddy to the brown-green of teak trees and the darker emerald of towering palm trees. Large herds of cows and goats walked down the road without a care about traffic.

Around 30 minutes from Etapalli, a rust-like tang filled the air as trucks carrying iron ore from the mines of Lloyds Metals and Energy sped past. Further on, the smooth asphalt road was filled with gigantic potholes and eventually turned into a dirt road.

Lalsu Soma Nogoti, an Adivasi activist and advocate, explained that the area beyond the mines was largely inaccessible to the general public, and that no public transport reached that deep in the interior. “This is how we know that the authorities build roads to facilitate mining and not for the local people,” he said.

At around 9 pm, we arrived at a settlement next to a forested area, where around 30 bamboo huts were lit up with faint solar lights. This was Todgatta.

The next morning, residents of Todgatta and around seventy surrounding villages assembled at the village “gotul” as part of a protest that has been underway since March 11.

The gotul is a type of community centre, which has been serving as the protest site. Every morning, protestors gather at the site to discuss matters pertaining to the protest. Most of them are Madia-Koitur Adivasis, popularly known as Madia-Gond, a Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group who form the majority population in Etapalli tehsil. In Koitur culture, the gotul traditionally serves as the village’s hub of socio-cultural, and political activity. It is “the site of collective decision-making of the village and its focal point of democracy,” writes Nogoti, who belongs to the community.

The meeting began with the lighting of incense sticks over portraits of Adivasi and Bahujan leaders like Birsa Munda, Rani Durgavati and Savitribai Phule kept on a stage on chairs. Over them hung posters with messages in Hindi such as “Those who take care of the environment are the greatest people in society” and “Air pollution is a problem which we will erase”. After this, there was a collective pledging of the preamble of the Indian Constitution in the Madia language. This was followed by speeches from community members.

Since March, residents of Todgatta and around 70 nearby villages have been protesting mining in Etapalli, which has resulted in pollution of farmlands and adversely affected the health of locals. Photo: Nolina Minj

The gathering was protesting mining in Etapalli. In 2007, despite stiff opposition from local Adivasis, Lloyds Metals was granted clearance to begin mining operations on 348.09 hectares of land on Surjagarh hills, around 22 km from Etapalli town. Protestors successfully held the company away for some years, but mining operations finally began in 2011.

Since then, the red dust expelled from the mines has coated the surrounding areas – roads, fields and homes. The effluents of the mine have run down the hills and contaminated the river water and the fields of nearby villages.

In March 2023, Lloyds received environmental clearance to expand production capacity from 3.00 million tonnes per annum, or MTPA, to 10.0 MTPA. In May this year, five companies – Omsairam Steels and Alloys Private Limited, JSW Steels Limited, Sunflag Iron and Steel Company Limited, Universal Industrial Equipment and Technical Services Private Limited, and Natural Resources Energy Private Limited – received leases for six new mines spanning 4,684 hectares, to be opened at Surjagarh hills.

But Adivasi villagers say that these lands are sacred to them, and that mining will destroy the ecosystem and their agricultural livelihoods. “Adivasis will only survive if their land survives,” said Nogoti. “These mines will provide jobs for some for a while, but they will shut down in a hundred years or so. What will our future generations do then?”

The mines have also seen violent opposition by Maoists. In 2013, they killed the vice president and two officials of Lloyds Metals. In 2016, they torched more than 75 trucks that belonged to the company, shutting down operations. Since then, mining has started and stopped intermittently with heavy police cover , under the threat of more attacks. According to a 2021 review by the ministry of home affairs, Gadchiroli is among the 25 districts in the country most affected by left-wing-extremism.

The government has used this violence to try and delegitimise the protests. In December 2022, Devendra Fadnavis, deputy chief minister of Maharashtra, who is also the guardian minister of Gadchiroli, told the state assembly, “The reds are deliberately provoking local people against development activities.” In August, he told the media that mining in Etapalli is being conducted in an “environment-friendly way”.

But travelling through the tehsil, the environmental destruction wreaked by the mines was evident.

On August 28, accompanied by Nogoti and two others, I visited a shrine of a local deity, Thakur deo, known as Odal in the Madia language. In the assembly, Fadnavis had said that Maoists were misleading locals “about the Surjagarh deity being impacted”. The Lloyds mine lies on the south-eastern stretch of the hills, while the shrine is located further to the east at the foot of the hills.

The river flowing by the shrine, as well as the trees and rocks nearby were all coloured a deep reddish-brown from the mine’s tailings, or residue left after ore processing. “They say the shrine won’t be affected, but look at this water, it’s completely unfit for use now,” said Nogoti.

The village of Mallampadi is located at the base of the Surjagarh hills, near the Lloyds mine. Residents explained that there was a time when the river near Mallampadi remained cool throughout the summer, and that people from neighbouring villages used to visit it to bathe. “We used this water for everything, but now even pigs won’t drink this water,” said Jagatpal Toppo, a resident of Mallampadi. Since the mining began villagers have had to depend on borewells dug by the mining company.

Residents say mining has also brought illness to Mallampadi. They complained of swollen eyes, fevers and body aches. “People are always falling sick these days,” Jagatpal said. “It’s only now that everyone visited the medical camp of the mine and got their eyes treated that we’re doing better, otherwise we all had swollen eyes for days.”

As we spoke in the courtyard, a pet dog walked by us, its fur also coated reddish brown. Jagatpal noted that even poultry and cattle in Mallampadi had been falling sick and dying. “I used to own almost 150 chickens,” he said. “But they all fell sick and died, now only four remain.”

Jagatpal also took us to nearby fields that were filled with reddish brown sludge from the mines. “Until two years ago, there used to be paddy up to our waists,” one resident said. “But now there’s only mining silt up to our waists.” Several times in 2022, the sludge became so thick that cows that wandered into the fields became stuck and had to be rescued. Still, scant strands of paddy grew in certain areas in the field. “Do you think these will survive?” I asked Jagatpal. “No, they won’t,” he replied dejectedly.

Activists say that in order to facilitate mining, the state has colluded with private corporations and clamped down on any dissent from Adivasis, by labelling them Maoists and anti-nationals.

This is in keeping with a 2014 report by the ministry of tribal affairs, which noted a pattern of criminalisation of Adivasis in areas with mining and other projects. It stated, “an extremely disturbing feature that we witnessed in Scheduled Areas, where projects are being located, is the filing of cases against local people and their supporters.”

A 2018 fact-finding report by the Coordination of Democratic Rights Organisations, or CODR, which examined state-sponsored oppression in Gadchiroli, noted that the mining company, the local administration and the Central Reserve Police Force in Etapalli all work together. It said, “a parallel system was being set up around the red soiled hills of Surjagarh that would wreak havoc in the lives of the locals. Security camps were built and additional battalions of specially trained police and security forces were deployed in the area. All this was done in the name of anti-Naxal operations, as there has been a history of armed resistance in the area.”

Experts have long observed that Adivasis are frequently caught in the fight between the state and Maoists, and end up as collateral damage. The CODR report notes that there have been frequent instances of fake encounters in Gadchiroli since the early 1990s.

In 2010, after a day trip to the interiors, the then deputy collector of Gadchiroli, Rajendra Kanphade, told the media, “There is legalised violence committed by the state, and illegalised violence committed by the Maoists. I do not agree with the violence of any party, especially the Maoists, but I personally feel that the legalised violence of the state is far more destructive.”

Residents of the villages shared accounts of such state-sponsored oppression and violence with Scroll. Kailas Ekka a 67-year-old from Murwada village in Etapalli, recounted that in February 2018, Ramkumar Khess, a resident of the neighbouring village of Koindwarshi, went bird-hunting with his friend in the jungle and was killed by the C-60, an elite paramilitary anti-Naxal force.

A day after his death he was declared a Naxal – his family denied this and said he had been killed in a fake encounter. Journalists have reported several such accounts of killings.

“You will find stories of people accused of being Naxalites in every village here,” said Nogoti.

Mangesh Naroti, one of the key leaders of the current agitation, explained that in recent months, he had been targeted for harassment by police. In late February, Naroti received a show cause notice under Section 110 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, under which police can initiate preventive action against someone they deem a habitual offender, and claim is likely to commit a criminal offence. The notice accused Naroti of being a Naxalite supporter, of spreading propaganda against the Surjagarh mining project and inciting people to protest.

Naroti was asked to present himself at the police outpost at Haidri police station, close to the Surjagarh mine, some 25 km from his native village of Besewada. Once there, police interrogated him about Naxalites and the upcoming protests. “They accused me of giving Naxals food and helping with their work,” said Naroti. “I denied this, but they wouldn’t listen to me.”

They then asked him if he was opposed to mining. “I told them, I’m not a Naxal, but yes, I oppose mines,” he said. “If more mines open up, my community will be displaced. Then where are we to go and die?”

The police tried to change his views. “They told me, ‘This is not what will happen, so don’t go to the protests. The mines will bring development,’” he recalled.

Naroti received notices from the police every week to report to Haidri police station. These visits continued for four months. “I grew completely distraught in those months,” he said. “They used to make me sit at the station for long hours. They would swear at me and tell me not to go to the protests. I used to return home at 8-9 pm.”

By June, Naroti couldn’t take the stress anymore and decided to stop going. “This is a tactic to lead people astray from their goals,” he said. “They are misleading people in the name of development.”

Around the same time, police also ordered fellow activist Mangesh Holi and a few others to regularly report to them. “This sort of harassment is happening throughout Gadchiroli, wherever Adivasis are living near valuable natural resources,” Naroti said. “They surveil us and protect the mining officials.”

Neelotpal, the superintendent of police of Gadchiroli said, “There has not been any harassment of any specific person unless they have a crime record, for which they are called for preventive action, which is a routine course of action.”

Police claim that the number of Maoists in Gadchiroli has also decreased significantly in the last five years. A 2022 PTI report quoted a police officer as saying, “Naxalite recruitment has come down close to zero in Gadchiroli. The recruits are mostly from neighbouring Chhattisgarh.” Neelotpal told Scroll, “Naxal activity has decreased but it hasn’t subsided completely. It’s still prevalent in Etapalli and Bhamragad taluka.”

Locals allege that despite this admitted decrease in Naxal activity, the intensity of police activity has not abated. A Times of India report from August noted that 28 “armed outposts” were to be upgraded to police stations, taking the total number of stations in the district to 57.

“Naxal activity has decreased considerably since demonetisation,” said Sakal Bokare, an independent journalist from Etapalli. “So why are so many police stations opening up in the area now?”

In October 2021, locals had protested near the Surjagarh mines, after which police came to the site and detained protestors. Over the years, several leaders involved in the current protests at Todgatta have had cases filed against them. “The environment here is such that if we protest near the mine or an administrative office we will be arrested and put in jail immediately,” said Nogoti .

Jagatpal and Nogoti noted that some locals who worked at the mines had earlier kept an eye on individuals involved in the protests, especially those who were vocal about their anti-mining stance. “Those who worked in the mines, were coming to the protests and reporting back to their bosses at the mines,” said Nogoti.

Lalsu Soma Nogoti (centre) said that an atmosphere of oppression prevailed throughout Etapalli. “If we protest near the mine or an administrative office we’ll be arrested and put in jail,” he said. Photo: Nolina Minj

Across the district, the administration propagates a message that locals can either support the mines, or stand against the mines – and that doing the latter means they are against development. This, in turn, makes them Maoist supporters, the adminisrtation alleges. Sanjay Meena, the collector of Gadchiroli, told Scroll over the phone that the district has forest cover of more than 70%, and that currently mining occurs in less than 0.5% of that area. “The problem is that they’re not just protesting mines but also roads and mobile towers,” he said. “They don’t want development in that area.”

In news media coverage, the police have alleged that Adivasi civilians are protesting the mines under the threat of Naxalites. Naroti explained that two decades ago, Maoists used to frequent his village Besewada and other areas in their tehsil, but that over the years, their presence had significantly reduced. “They don’t come to villages anymore, they mostly stay deep in the jungle,” he said.

Nogoti added, “The Naxal population here has decreased a lot. The ones working here come from Chhattisgarh, across the state border.”

On August 30, when I stopped at a tea shop at Etapalli, a cartoon poster hung on the wall, with no mention of its maker, seemingly aimed at influencing perceptions in a similar way. In the first frame, armed Maoists threaten Adivasi villagers to protest the development of roads, bridges and mobile towers; in the second frame, they agree to do so. In the third frame, rains flood a river next to the village, cutting it off from the outside world. Finally, in the last frame, a pandemic arrives at the village leaving the villagers helpless and regretful of their earlier protests.

On the evening of August 29 at Todgatta, as protestors were cooking dinner on wood fires inside their huts, Naroti sat outside his hut and pulled out his phone. He played a video by Asian News International on economic development in the area that had resulted from mining.

The video claimed that 3,500 men in the area had been given jobs in the security force of Lloyds for salaries ranging between Rs 12,000 and Rs 15,000, and that some 1,600 men had purchased motorcycles from their earning from working in their mines. “Earlier we used to be lords of the jungle, and now we are their servants!” said Naroti with a sad laugh.

He added, “Let us bring in the type of development that we want, through our means like the FRA and PESA,” referring to the Forest Rights Act and the Panchayat (Extension to Scheduled Areas) Act, both of which empower Adivasis to use their lands and natural resources.

Indeed, the FRA is a key avenue for income in these areas – Gadchiroli district has the highest number of community forest rights claims in the country under the law. In 2017, 160 gram sabhas in the district earned Rs 400 crore through the sale of tendu leaves, used to make bidis.

Adivasis in Etapalli have also protested the construction of wide four-lane roads in the area, though they are not opposed to roads altogether. “This is a rural area, why do we need a four-lane road here?” Naroti said. Sainu Gotta from Gatta village added, “Of course we want roads, but they should be for our use, not to cut down hills.”

The two noted that local communities’ needs were simple, and that even currency notes had begun to be used in the area only in the last two decades. “Most families here have not yet joined the market economy, they live on subsistence agriculture and forest produce,” Nogoti said. “They sell excess produce for a side income.” Naroti noted that the community was satisfied with what it had. “We are not greedy, we don’t need to become lakhpatis,” he said.

Gotta added, “We have everything we need here, we only need to buy salt and clothes.”

Etapalli is also inhabited by a number of Oraon, or Kurukh, Adivasi families who migrated to the area from northern Chhattisgarh in the 1950s and 1960s. They migrated for a variety of reasons, including a paucity of land in their home villages. Once here, they continued their traditional way of cultivating and living off the land.

But after their migration, they encountered a legal and administrative hurdle that has left them in a precarious position.

Specifically, though they are recognised as a Scheduled Tribe in Chhattisgarh, they have largely been denied this recognition in Maharashtra, which would allow them to access benefits such as special land rights, and educational and employment benefits.

Jagatpal noted that only a few Oraon elders in Etapalli hold tribe certificates or land titles.

According to lawyers Rajni Soren and Ameya Bokil, there is ambiguity about the land rights of migrant Scheduled Tribe communities. Bokil noted that it is possible that some families migrated before 1950 – under the Maharashtra Caste Certificate Act, an individual who has been permanently residing in the state since September 6, 1950, is eligible to apply for a Scheduled Tribe certificate. Further, Soren said, the Forest Rights Act, 2006, doesn’t specify that its provisions only apply to Scheduled Tribe members who seek benefits within their states of origin. Moreover, the cut off date for the Act is 2005 – under the Forest Rights Act, a member of a Scheduled Tribe can apply for a land title of a piece of forest land if they have been using it from at least this year onwards.

But other rules and ruling can be read as opposing these provisions. For instance, according to a 2018 notice from the ministry of social justice and empowerment, an individual from a scheduled caste or tribe is only entitled to benefits due to those groups in the states of their origin “and not from the State where he/she has migrated”. In 2022, the Supreme Court reiterated its own 1994 ruling that Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe migrants cannot claim benefits in the state to which they have migrated.

Bokil argued that as long as individuals qualified under the terms of the FRA, it was unjust to deny them rights because they were migrants.

Kailas Ekka, whose Aadhaar card records Murwada as his home address, visits his native place in Jashpur, Chhattisgarh, every year. But, he explained, he and other Oraon migrants had made their homes in Etapalli more than 50 years ago, and couldn’t return to Chhattisgarh as there was no land there for them to cultivate.

Now, with the mines expanding, he is worried that the lack of titles will leave him and others in the community vulnerable to being displaced from their land. “We’re here to save our land,” he said, “We have no choice but to protest.” He noted that the mines had done massive damage to villages like Mallampadi. “There’s mud two feet deep in the farms near Surjagarh hills,” he said, With the planned expansions, he added, “We’re afraid the same will happen to us.”

Thirty-five-year-old Raju Lakra also from Murwada worried about how future generations of Adivasis would survive if their lands were wrecked by mining.

“Not everyone will get a job at the mine,” he said. “As a people, we are self-sufficient through farming. This is how our generations survive.”

The denial of land rights to those who have migrated has had tragic consequences in some instances, community members explained. In late August 2022, a 38-year-old Oraon man named Ajay Toppo died by suicide. Ajay was a resident of Mallampadi, which is chiefly populated by the Oraon Adivasi community who migrated there from Chhattisgarh between two and three generations ago.

According to a report by Newslaundry, on August 31, 2022, Ajay attended a jansunwai, or people’s court, where he asked the local administration for compensation for damage done to his fields by silt that had been formed because of mining. Here he was allegedly told that he was not a tribal and did not have a land title, and was thus not eligible for compensation. Ajay died by suicide that very night.

“There are 42 families in this village, out of them some 22 families have had their farmlands ruined by the tailings of the mine,” said Jagatpal. His own fields had also been affected, causing him a loss of between Rs 2.5 lakh and Rs 3 lakh so far. “Last year I was only able to grow enough to subsist, this year seems even more difficult,” he said.

On August 28, I visited Mallampadi. Residents, who asked not to be named, said some in the village had tribal certificates and land titles because their parents had managed to procure them and handed them down. Most, however, lacked these certificates. As a result, they could not claim compensation for damage to land, or avail any benefits due to Scheduled Tribe communities in areas such as agriculture and education. “The local administration tells us we are not tribals,” one said.

“But what do you feel? Are you Adivasi?” asked Nogoti. To which they replied, matter-of-factly, “Of course, we are Adivasi!”

They argued that just because the state didn’t recognise them as Scheduled Tribes, they didn’t cease to be Adivasis.

Some in Mallampadi said they had received compensation from Lloyds for damage done to their fields – typically around Rs 8,000. These amounts were insufficient to support their families, they noted, and many were forced to work in the mines for a regular income. “Almost every family in the village now has one member working in the mines, although four-five families have refused to work there,” said Jagatpal. Two residents I met served in the canteen at Lloyds for a monthly pay of Rs 10,000. Nogoti noted this was lower than the daily wage in Maharashtra. “They have given lowly work to Adivasis and it’s the outsiders who have received better jobs,” said Jagatpal.

On the morning of August 30, I woke up in Todgatta to tense faces and hushed conversations. I was told that as protestors slept in their huts, a fleet of the Chhattisgarh police surrounded the village. They had arrested Mithun Roy, a local shopkeeper. “He regularly attends the protests and even speaks to the crowd at times,” said Nogoti. Several protestors had followed the police to demand information on what was happening, while many others had moved away from the village because they felt unsafe. A few hours later, after being searched, Roy was released, and returned to his home. “See, this is how they detain people and put fear in them,” said Naroti.

Later that morning, the residents gathered again at the gotul to protest.

Nogoti explained that the protests had also been an exercise in political education. “This agitation is like an educational centre,” he said. “People are learning about how politics works in this country and are developing their own views. I tell people that we ought to be in various government bodies. It’s only if we get in the political arena that we can present our views, and a healthy people’s politics will develop.”

Nogoti explained that Adivasis had been protesting for months at more than thirty sites across central India. He added that they were prepared to continue the agitations for another year. Photo: Nolina Minj

Nogoti said that Adivasis had been protesting for months about land rights at more than thirty sites across central India. “We’ve been protesting peacefully and constitutionally for a year,” he said. “If the system doesn’t listen, we will tell them and ask: we have been protesting peacefully and constitutionally for a year; if our demands will not be heard this way, what else can we do to be heard?” He noted that the communities remained determined to fight. “We are ready to keep going at this for a year,” he said. “Let’s see what happens.”

Online scams continue to prey on unsuspecting victims, with recent incidents underscoring the need for vigilance in the digital realm. Despite efforts by authorities and platforms like WhatsApp to curb such activities, individuals are still falling victim to fraudsters.

In a recent case, Prachi Mathur, a resident of Ghaziabad, was ensnared by scammers through text messages offering a seemingly simple way to earn extra income. She was promised payment for liking YouTube videos, with the scammers initially depositing small sums into her account to build trust. This tactic is commonly used to manipulate victims into investing larger amounts by promising even greater returns.

Mathur began liking videos, earning Rs 50 for each like believing she had stumbled upon a legitimate opportunity. However, her trust was exploited, and on September 18, she was informed that she needed to invest money in a 'welfare task' to receive her earnings and commission. Hoping to boost her income, Mathur first invested Rs 5,000, followed by a substantial Rs 26,800 investment. In total, she transferred Rs 13 lakh to the scammers.

Law enforcement has since launched an investigation into the matter. Nimish Patel, ACP of Kotwali, stated that the police are working with the cyber cell to address the issue.

To protect oneself from such scams, individuals are advised to exercise caution when encountering online job opportunities and financial transactions. It is recommended to seek employment through reputable job portals like LinkedIn, Naukri.com, or Indeed. For alternative job sources, thorough due diligence is essential. Verify the legitimacy of the offering party by requesting details such as their name and company name. Simple online searches can often reveal whether a company exists or not.

Additionally, individuals should exercise caution when sharing personal information, ensuring they do so only on credible websites. Above all, never transfer money to an unfamiliar bank account and refrain from sharing banking credentials, no matter the promises of lucrative returns. Vigilance remains the best defense against online scams.

She was taken to a hospital, where her initial medical examination confirmed that she had been raped,"" Superintendent of Police (SP) Sachin Sharma said. A dreadful case of rape of a minor has come to the fore from the city of Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh. The 12-year-old girl was found in a semi-nude condition bleeding on the street. The police confirmed the incident and said that her medical examination confirmed that she had been raped.

“The girl probably hails from Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, but her identity is yet to be established as she is unable to tell her name and address to the police properly,” one of the officials was quoted as saying.

“A girl, aged around 12 years, was found bleeding on a street located under the Mahakal police station area in Ujjain on Monday. She was taken to a hospital, where her initial medical examination confirmed that she had been raped,” Superintendent of Police (SP) Sachin Sharma said.

He added that the girl neither has an identity card nor is she able to tell her name and address accurately. A case has been registered at the Mahakal police station, and an investigation into the incident is underway.

As per the media reports, the girl was discovered by the police near Dandi Ashram on the Badnagar road. Injuries on her private parts could be visibly seen. Her clothes were stained, and she was scared when found by the police.

The police immediately shifted her to the local hospital and later she was taken to a hospital in Indore. The girl also told the police officers that her mother had been raped and assaulted. However, no details of her mother or family have been recovered yet.

The Police also examined the CCTV footage established in the area to learn that the girl was roaming the streets with injuries on her private parts and seeking help. The girl is said to have walked for 8 kilometres on the Sanwrakheda Marg, Tirupati Dreams, Haatkeshwar Vihar Colony, and Chintamani Bridge area of the city.

Reports mention that the police examined the CCTV footage of the last 72 hours and saw one auto driver talking to the girl. The driver has now been detained by the police and is being interrogated.

One of the old persons could also be seen talking to the girl who was in a semi-nude condition in the CCTV footage. The girl told the man that some people were following her and moved ahead.

The girl belongs to Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, and says that her mother has also been raped and assaulted. The Police have filed a case and are investigating as to why the girl and her mother had come to Ujjain and why were they being followed.",1

In a major development in Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence renovation row, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Wednesday began a preliminary inquiry into alleged financial irregularities in the renovation of CM's bungalow.

""A preliminary investigation is not a criminal case but the beginning of a criminal investigation. If CBI finds evidence during the probe then it will register a regular case or a criminal case,"" said the officials.

The CBI officials asked the Delhi PWD to submit all the documents related to the renovation of the CM's residence. The probe agency directed officials to submit all the files by October 3.

The CBI will investigate whether there was unnecessary expenditure or financial irregularities in the renovation of the CM residence.

BJP attacks AAP over 'Sheesh Mahal' row

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has been protesting against the Kejriwal government ever since the matter surfaced a few months ago. The saffron party coined the issue as 'Kejriwal ka sheesh mahal'. BJP made a replica of Kejriwal's residence to attack the Delhi government, accusing Kejriwal of misusing public money.

Follow us on Image Source : REPRESENTATIONAL PIC Patna High Court

The Patna High Court on Wednesday directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to complete its probe into the irregularities in the appointment of teachers.

A CBI probe into appointments of around 300 assistant teachers between 1980 and 1998 was challenged in the Patna HC.

The matter pertains to the appointment of around 300 assistant teachers by different authorities without following norms.

The court also asked the Bihar government to look into the reasons for the delay in taking action on the basis of a report submitted by the central probe agency in 2004.

Dismissing all petitions challenging the CBI's preliminary enquiry report, a single bench of Justice Rajeev Ranjan Prasad said the 2004 report indicated extraneous consideration which has taken place in the matter of large-scale appointments and promotions in the Assistant Teachers of the Lower Subordinate Education Service (LSS) in Bihar during the period 1980-1998.

The huge delay on the part of the state by sitting over the preliminary enquiry report of the CBI has done a lot of damage to the interest of the State. Those who are behind this inaction are required to be identified and appropriate action is to be considered, the court said.

The bench directed CBI and the state government to consider taking appropriate action within a month.

NONGPOH, Sep 27: There seems to be no end to the controversy surrounding the high-stakes angling competitions in the state. In a fresh incident, a clash reportedly erupted during a fishing competition held at RRTC Umran in Ri-Bhoi district on Wednesday, when a participant allegedly brought a fish from outside to claim the prize.

The competition, organised by O Wahlang, Bahrit Mawnai, and friends, witnessed the participation of close to a thousand participants with prize money of Rs 10 lakh, Rs 4 lakh and Rs 2 lakh on offer for the top three catch.

As soon as the competition started, one of the participants took out a dead fish and went for weighing it with the organisers. Other participants alleged that the fish was brought from outside and accused the organisers of conniving with the said angler to cheat the others.

As a protest broke out, the organisers tried to protect the angler by taking him to the community hall. The situation escalated, and the organisers fled the scene.

The situation was finally brought under control after personnel from Umsning police station rushed to the spot.

The angler later confessed to have made an attempt to cheat his way to the top prize.

Angry anglers have demanded a refund of the entry ticket money, which was Rs 2000 per fishing hook.",1

SHILLONG, Sep 27: The probe into the alleged rice ‘scam’ has been hamstrung by the non-cooperation of the Assam Police, which exposed it in the first place, Social Welfare Minister Paul Lyngdoh said on Wednesday.

The report of the one-man commission, which probed the alleged scam, made no mention of the statement of Assam’s Boko police which brought the matter to the fore in the early part of June 2021.

“A commission of inquiry serves a public notice calling upon people to depose before it. Those who complained there were irregularities did not appear before the commission, leaving us with no choice,” Social Welfare Minister Paul Lyngdoh said.

“Assam police did not cooperate… It was mentioned in the report,” he said.

Asked if any efforts were made at the higher level to get the Assam police statement as they were the ones who had cracked the alleged rice scam, he said: “That you will have to ask the ex-home minister but due process of the law was followed. The commission deserves credit for waiting for nine months before compiling the report.”

The panel, headed by Justice (retired) Mool Chand Garg of Madhya Pradesh High Court, was constituted after a complaint that rice allotted to Continental Milkose (India) Ltd for the Supplementary Nutrition Programme was found in a private warehouse in Boko and seized by the Assam Police.

“The commission also called upon the officials of Boko police station, Assam Police and when the personnel of Boko police station did not turn up before the commission for submitting their response in the matter, the commission requested the ‘higher officials of Assam Police’ to take appropriate steps and actions in the matter to enable the commission to submit the final report but according to the commission, it seemed that the Assam Police had never been interested in cooperating with the commission,” the report said.

“Therefore, the commission had no other option than to proceed with the matter without any support of the Assam Police. In such a situation, the commission would proceed to decide the point of reference ‘a’ with the help of submissions submitted by the state government and M/s Continental Milkose (India) Limited and the statement of CDPOS, DPOs, Public and Continental Milkose and the Government Officials,” the report said.

“It is relevant to mention here that the commission has not gone into the police investigation of the matter and it is not expressing any opinion on the pending investigation being carried out by the Assam Police,” it further said.",1

Nandan shared a screenshot on social media of a letter addressed to Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and JD(U) national president Rajiv Ranjan Singh ‘Lalan’ informing them that he was “resigning from the party’s primary membership”.

While he cited no reason for the step, the letter issued by JD(U)’s state president Umesh Singh Kushwaha charged the former with “issuing press releases and statements that ran contrary to the ideological stance of the party”.

Kushwaha’s statement said Nandan was being divested of all party posts and primary membership and “expelled for a period of six years”.

An academician by profession, Nandan, the then co-convener of BJP’s ‘buddhijivi prakoshth’ (intellectual cell) in Bihar, had crossed over to the JD(U) in 2013, shortly after Kumar’s first exit from the NDA, which followed differences over the national ascendance of Narendra Modi, who was the chief minister of Gujarat at that time.

In 2014, Kumar rewarded Nandan, who had squarely blamed the BJP for break-up with JD(U), by getting him nominated to the state legislative council.

Upon expiry of his term, Nandan was not considered for a second stint though he was made a state spokesperson of the party.

Of late, he had been causing discomfiture in the JD(U) ranks by adopting a confrontational attitude towards the RJD, its current, domineering ally, and in private conversations recalling the hassle-free partnership with BJP that ended last year.

He also raised many eyebrows by failing to turn up at a recent meeting of JD(U)’s state spokespersons here.",1

Andhra Pradesh's Crime Investigation Department (CID) has named former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu's son and former minister Nara Lokesh as an accused in the Amaravati Inner Ring Road case.

By IANS Published Date - 05:54 PM, Tue - 26 September 23

Vijayawada: Andhra Pradesh’s Crime Investigation Department (CID) has named former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu’s son and former minister Nara Lokesh as an accused in the Amaravati Inner Ring Road case.

The CID filed a memo in Vijayawada ACB Court on Tuesday, naming Lokesh as an accused in the case.

The CID has already named Naidu as an accused in the case and filed a Prisoner Transit (PT) warrant petition against him in the same court.

Naidu, who is already in judicial custody in Skill Development scam, has approached the high court for anticipatory bail. The same is likely to come up for hearing later in the day.

In May 2022, the CID had registered an FIR against Chandrababu Naidu, former municipal administration minister Dr P. Narayana, Heritage Foods Ltd, and others, for alleged irregularities in the construction of an internal ring road in Amaravati.

The FIR was filed based on a complaint from YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) Mangalgiri MLA A. Rama Krishna Reddy. It was alleged that certain illegal and corrupt activities were committed by highly placed government officials between 2014 and 2019 with regard to the design of master plan for the Andhra Pradesh capital and alignment of the ring road to cause wrongful gain to certain individuals.

Heritage Foods is a company owned by Chandrababu Naidu’s family. The ruling party has accused Naidu of large-scale irregularities in land acquisition and other aspects in development of the state capital Amaravati.

On September 19, the CID also filed a PT warrant petition against Chandrababu Naidu in the FiberNet scam.

According to CID, the work order for the first phase of the AP FiberNet Project of Rs 321 crore was allotted to Terasoftware in violation of rules and by manipulating the tender process.

The project was aimed at providing optical fiber connectivity to villages and towns across the state.

The CID has already stated that it is probing Lokesh’s role in all three scams. The scams allegedly took place when Naidu was the Chief Minister and Lokesh a minister in his cabinet.",1

Irate over the increasing number of complaints from citizens of Bidar district regarding massive corruption prevailing in the office of the Deputy Registrar, Bidar district in-charge Minister Eshwar Khandre pulled up officials, including Deputy Registrar Subhash Hosalli, during his surprise visit to the office there on Wednesday.

Mr. Khandre, who entered the office without any prior information, enquired with visitors whether the officials were harassing them by demanding extra amount for registration. The Minister also asked the visitors if there is any complaint of officers extracting money from them.

A visitor, who had come for property registration, said that the officials were demanding ₹48 lakh for registration of a property, for which the stamp duty charge was estimated at ₹34.04 lakh. Another visitor complained that the Deputy Registrar [Mr. Hosalli] demanded a ₹50,000 bribe for getting his property registered.

“This is the first and last warning. I do not want any complaints against you in future,” Mr. Khandre told him.

The Minister, who was irked by Mr. Hosalli’s failure to facilitate seating arrangements at the office for visitors, asked him where the aged people visiting the office for registration should sit. The officer tried to reply stating that there is no need for chairs as none is allowed into the office.

Mr. Khandre then asked why six unscrupulous elements were wandering in the office when he entered it? The Minister warned the officials that the culture of corruption will not be tolerated any longer.

Then another visitor complained about technical issues involving internet server performance and said that they are facing difficulties in registration of their property. Mr. Khandre directed the officials to attend to the server issue immediately.",1

Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh cited a media report to say that the “stench of illegality” around another Adani-linked shell company – Opal Investment – is getting stronger.

He claimed there are “fresh revelations” that the firm, which controls Rs 8,000 crore worth of equity in Adani Power, was set up as a “single person company” in Dubai in May 2019.

He said the “glacial and reluctant” SEBI investigation doesn’t seem to be producing any answers and renewed the Congress’ demand for a JPC probe. “The only way forward is a JPC that investigates the full story behind the mega Adani Scam,” Ramesh said while tagging the news report.

Kunhikrishnan observed that the allegations against the MLA were serious September 28, 2023 01:17 am | Updated 01:17 am IST - KOCHI

The Kerala High Court has extended till October 16 its stay on the further proceedings in a case registered against K.B. Ganesh Kumar MLA pending before the Kottarakkara First Class Judicial Magistrate Court in connection with the the alleged conspiracy to name late Congress leader Oommen Chandy in the Solar scam-related sexual assault case.

When a petition by the MLA seeking to quash the case came up for hearing recently, Justice P.V. Kunhikrishnan observed that the allegations against the MLA were serious.

The judge said that he was not inclined to extend the stay but since the counsel for the petitioner sought time to engage a senior counsel in the case, he was extending the interim order till October 16.

Counsel for the MLA earlier submitted that he had already engaged a senior counsel to argue the case and sought extension of the interim order. The case against the MLA was registered on a complaint by Sudheer Jacob, former Kollam district government pleader.

In his petition, Mr. Ganesh submitted that the case against him was an abuse of the process of the court. The solar scam inquiry commission had not found that the letter levelling sexual assault allegations written by one of the accused in the case was a forged one.

Therefore, the magistrate could not decide whether the letter was genuine or not as per the law. In fact, the proceedings before the magistrate court were tantamount to an appeal against the report submitted by the inquiry commission which was not permitted as per law.

In his complaint, Mr. Jacob alleged that the letter produced before the commission was a fabricated one and it was a result of a criminal conspiracy hatched by the MLA and another accused against the then Chief Minister and political leaders.",1

The MLA has also announced that he will give up the security cover provided by the Punjab Police.

Taking to social media, Lalpura wrote, “SSP, I thought you were associated with criminals, but now it seems you’re also a coward. Wait for the response to what your police servants did to my relative.”

“Regarding your last night’s warning… about what an MLA can do if gangsters come after him. I accept your challenge. I am returning my police security. You have an open field to do what you want with me… Your man from the CIA (Crime Investigation Agency) was drunk and told me that he gives you (SSP) Rs 25 lakh per month. I then realised why a drug addict like him was appointed to the CIA.

“I have also come to know that you are forcing someone to name me in a case. I welcome the fake case registration against my relative. Only a coward uses a proxy to take on the enemy. You keep your uniform aside, and I’ll keep my MLA’s chair aside, then we’ll see who wins. Moreover, even today, I will repeat that nothing works here without bribing the Tarn Taran police… But we won’t pay bribes and will still get the work done,” the MLA further said.

Talking to The Indian Express, a spokesperson of the MLA said, “The CIA doesn’t deal with sand mining. But last night, the CIA registered a false case for illegal mining against the MLA’s brother-in-law Nishan Singh… The SSP was not happy as the MLA had spoken against the corruption in the Tarn Taran police. We will soon decide the next course of action.”

Reacting to the allegations, SSP Chauhan said: “Such allegations have been made in the past also… I am ready to face any scrutiny. You can ask my seniors if you want to know more. People know everything.”

Asked about the case registered against the MLA’s relative, the SSP said, “There was a complaint about illegal mining. We sent a police party. Around 10-15 people were arrested from the spot along with machinery. We later came to know that one of them is a relative of the MLA.”",1

The eminent leader of the opposition INDIA bloc is on a week-long trip to Europe. He has … “Everything has changed with respect to democracy in India after Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to power in 2014,” uttered Rahul Gandhi in the early days of September during an interaction at the University of Oslo in Norway.

The eminent leader of the opposition INDIA bloc is on a week-long trip to Europe. He has grabbed the headlines through various astounding claims during his free-wheeling interactions at several eminent universities.

During this trip, he held a discourse with a group of lawyers of the European Union in Brussels and the Hague, also interacting with students and members of the Indian diaspora. Rahul Gandhi, a formidable contestant for the Prime Minister’s chair in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, has kicked up dust through his lecture at the University of Oslo in Norway.

“India is weakening as a democracy,”

During his hour-long speech, Rahul Gandhi mentioned that India has been defending an outright assault upon its democracy cast by the Narendra Modi Government. He emphasised that once this defence stops, India shall lose its democratic structure.

He said, “You said India is the largest democracy, it is true, but for me, a democracy where you are not allowed to express your voice, where you are not allowed to say what you feel, where a large number of people are not given that opportunity, is a weakening democracy and that is what we have in India.”

“Will not let the RSS capture our institutions,”

During his discourse at the University of Olso, Rahul Gandhi lambasted RSS (Rashtriya Seva Sangh), the parent organisation of the BJP. He asserted his conviction towards stopping the RSS from ‘encroaching’ upon the democratic institutions in India, neutralising the chances of “murder of Indian democracy.”

He mentioned that the INDIA alliance was dedicated to alleviating the inequality thumped upon India by the government-aided monopoly of 2-3 business tycoons. He also upheld how more than 200 million people got pushed to the verge of poverty over the past nine years, reiterating that the incumbent government should have shown greater involvement in healthcare and education.

Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Plan B’ if the Modi government changes the name from ‘India’ to ‘Bharat’:

Rahul Gandhi cracked a light-hearted joke about the India vs. Bharat row, where he mentioned that if the Prime Minister changed the name of the country from India to Bharat, the opposition bloc INDIA (Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance) shall follow the precept and change its name to ‘BHARAT’, pushing the PM to further dilemma.

He boasted how the name of his political faction compelled the incumbent government to change the country’s name. “If and when he does change the name (from India to Bharat), we will also change our name. Then, he will have to change the name again,” joked Rahul.

Fighting for the ideology of Mahatma Gandhi, Gautam Buddha, and Guru Nanak:

Rahul Gandhi alleged that the Modi government was keen on diverting the masses away from the sacred ideologies fostered by Mahatma Gandhi, Gautam Buddha, and Guru Nanak. He mentioned how he would strain every nerve to ensure such profound philosophies did not get subversed under hate-mongering. “We are engaged in an ideological struggle for the future of our country, and it’s our responsibility to defend our position,” he claimed.

Political vendetta by tax-payer-funded institutions:

Rahul Gandhi did not spare an opportunity to illustrate instances where the Modi government had allegedly misused government agencies and coerced them to embark upon a political witchhunt. He complained, “Agencies like CBI, ED and Income Tax Department have gotten weaponised. They attack those who resist the ideology of the BJP. So, we are no longer fighting a regular political contest. We are now fighting the architecture of the Indian state.”

With 24 cases lodged against his name and having been interrogated for over 55 hours, he exemplified how he became a victim of a state-sponsored political vendetta. He also illustrated how, for the first time in India’s history, he got penalised with the maximum sentence for a criminal defamation case.

During his speech, Rahul Gandhi pointed out that elections in India could no longer be contested through conventional methods like interviews and conversations. He also expressed his discontentment over the fact that he is not allowed to meet students in Indian universities.

India must emerge as the alternative to China:

Emphasising the significance of being a nation with 1.4 billion people, Rahul Gandhi illustrated that the country had no other option but to manufacture in its own turf. He elaborated on how India sustained a moral high ground over China as it encompasses an alternative vision to China’s abuse of labour and human rights through providing political, economic and social freedoms.

In his speech in Norway, Rahul Gandhi unofficially revealed the basic memorandum of the INDIA bloc. Most of them are fundamentally opposed to the BJP’s ideology and the RSS’ Hindutva. With less than a year to go for the Lok Sabha elections 2024, Rahul Gandhi looks unrelenting in cutting some slack to the Modi government.

During this time, he was coerced into parting with nearly Rs 3 lakh. Ultimately, the abductors released him at a Metro Station.

The incident came to light when the police received information from the victim, Babloo Yadav’s brother-in-law.

According to police, Babloo had been taken captive by unidentified individuals shortly after his arrival in Delhi from Bagdogra, West Bengal. It was disclosed that the kidnappers had already extracted Rs 2.5 lakh from Babloo by the time he was liberated and subsequently reported the incident to the Indira Gandhi International Airport police station. The FIR was accessed by IANS, outlined Babloo’s narrative.

A resident of Siliguri, West Bengal, and originally from Bihar’s Samastipur, he, in his complaint, recounted an encounter from approximately eight months prior.

During that time, he had met a person named Ajay from Haryana in Siliguri, who was visiting with friends for sightseeing in Gangtok, Sikkim.

According to Babloo’s statement, he received a call from Ajay on September 13, inviting him to Delhi. With a plan to purchase apples from Azadpur Mandi, Babloo decided to visit Delhi and concurrently attend to his business affairs.

Seven days later, on September 20, Babloo boarded an Indigo flight from Bagdogra and landed at Delhi Airport. There, he was met by a taxi sent by the aforementioned Ajay. Babloo was then transported to an undisclosed location, where Ajay was already present on a scooter.

“Subsequently, he was taken to a room where three to four men confiscated his phone and held him captive. The following morning, Ajay and the others physically assaulted Babloo, using kicks and punches. He was then blindfolded and placed in a vehicle. The kidnappers continued to threaten him with dire consequences while forcibly compelling him to call his father-in-law and request money,” read the FIR.

“On September 21, Babloo was held captive in a cattle shed. His family continued to send money, but when they declined further payments, the kidnappers abandoned him at Bahadurgarh Metro station at around 3 p.m. on September 22,” read the FIR.

Following this, Babloo was taken to the police station in a PCR van, and the authorities registered a case in response to the incident.

A senior police official said that an FIR under sections 364 A (kidnapping for ransom, etc.) and 120B (criminal conspiracy) of the Indian Penal Code was registered at IGI police station and further probe is going on.

According to ED sources, PFI sleeper cells were active in the the state and the central probe agency is looking into the suspicious foreign Hawala money transactions through which the former members were allegedly fueling radical activities across the country.

The raids that began on Monday morning are ongoing at 12 locations in Ernakulam, Wayanad, Thrissur, and Malappuram districts .

IANS managed to obtain visuals of an ED team reaching the house of Latif Pokakilamthi, a former district office bearer of the PFI.

Meanwhile, the sources further revealed that even after the ban, the suspicious financial transactions continued to occur.

When the ED probed further, they discovered that the money was reaching the PFI leaders through Hawala channels.

“All transactions were reported in Kerala; they originated from abroad and were conducted via Hawala channels. Upon discovering this, we initiated an investigation to trace the source of the money,” said an ED source.

In Wayanad’s Mananthavady, the premises of former PFI leader Abdul Samad, who is reported to be working in Karnataka, were also searched by an ED team.

In Kumbalam, Ernakulam, raids were conducted at the premises belonging to PFI leader Jamal.

In Malappuram’s Areekode, searches were carried out at the residence of SDPI leader Noorul Amin. The raids at this location have been completed.

A team of officials from the Kochi office of the ED was assisting in the searches.

ED raids in Malappuram’s Mancheri targeted the residences of Abdul Jalil, a former PFI worker from Mancheri East; Nurul Amin, an Arabic teacher at a private school; and the house of Hamsa, a resident of Malappuram.

As of now, the ED has not officially commented on the matter.

On July 20, a group of unidentified assailants assaulted, robbed, and harassed seven journalists at two separate news conferences, causing significant concern over the safety and well-being of media professionals in the country. According to reliable reports from media outlets and information gathered by the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), at least six journalists were subjected to physical violence, including punches and kicks, at the headquarters of the opposition Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) in the capital city of Kampala. Furthermore, the attackers stole several mobile phones belonging to the journalists, leaving them not only traumatized but also deprived of essential tools for their work. In a separate incident on the same day, John Xerxes Ogulei, a reporter with the privately owned Teso Broadcasting Services, faced a disturbing encounter with a police officer who insulted him, physically assaulted him, and damaged his phone and tripod. The attack occurred while Ogulei was waiting to cover a meeting in the eastern city of Soroti, where the officer accused the journalists of negatively affecting the government's image through their reporting. ""The violent assault on these journalists is an outrageous and unacceptable attack on press freedom,"" said a representative of Skyline International. ""Journalists play a crucial role in informing the public and holding those in power accountable. Such acts of violence aimed at silencing the media must be thoroughly investigated, and those responsible must face justice."" The journalists who experienced the violence have been identified as Charles Katabalwa of Radio Sapientia, Moses Waiswa of Busoga One FM, Joseph Balikuddembe of CBS FM, Arnold Lawrence Kinsambwe of BTM TV and Radio Sapientia, Nowamani Ainembabazi of Urban TV, and George William Katoloba of Namirembe FM. Nowamani Ainembabazi, the intern with Urban TV, suffered severe injuries, including a split lip requiring stitches and the loss of two teeth. The attack on Ainembabazi highlights the grave dangers faced by journalists while performing their professional duties in Uganda. The safety and well-being of journalists are of utmost importance, and it is essential that the perpetrators of these violent acts are brought to justice. We call on Ugandan authorities to conduct a thorough and impartial investigation into these attacks and ensure that the culprits face the full force of the law. Skyline International acknowledges the efforts made by FDC President Patrick Amuriat and party communications official Norman Turyatemba to address the incident and provide assistance to the affected journalists. However, we urge all parties to take concrete measures to prevent such incidents from recurring and to foster a safe environment for journalists to carry out their work without fear of violence or intimidation. Skyline International remains committed to advocating for press freedom and safeguarding the rights of journalists across the globe. Attacks on media professionals undermine the fundamental principles of democracy and must be vigorously condemned and combated.",1

P olice officers in England and Wales are switching off their body-worn cameras and deleting and sharing footage on WhatsApp, a BBC investigation found.

The broadcaster says it determined more than 150 reports of misuse of body-worn cameras.

The investigation found several serious allegations, which included reports in seven police forces where officers shared camera footage with friends or colleagues, either in person or online via social media.

Other allegations included images of a naked person being shared between officers and cameras being used to record conversations.

There were also reports of lost footage, deleted footage, videos not being marked as evidence and officers switching off cameras during incidents and facing no penalty.

The National Police Chief Council’s lead for body-worn video, Acting Chief Constable Jim Colwell, told the BBC the incidents “go to the heart of what undermines confidence in policing”.

The Home Office told the broadcaster: “Police use of technology, including body-worn video cameras, must be lawful, proportionate and justified.”

London Mayor Sadiq Khan recently created the London Policing Board to help him “scrutinise the force”, following a recommendation in Baroness Louise Casey’s review of the culture and standards of the Metropolitan Police.

Baroness Casey told the BBC police forces have the wrong attitude towards the cameras.

She said: “There are too many dark things that go on that we are not seeing.

“The sooner (officers) get their heads around the fact that it’s a tool that would help them build trust they’d be on to something – instead of hiding it.”

Earlier this month, a senior police officer in Ireland said body-worn cameras have the potential to transform policing in Ireland, with an operational pilot beginning in the middle of next year and plans to rollout the devices in 2025.

Scotland’s First Minister Huzma Yousaf has also vowed to equip Scotland’s police with body-worn cameras.",1

Military prosecutor says 4 arrested, 2 on run following reports that a coup attempt was thwarted by security services.

A coup attempt against Burkina Faso’s military rulers has been thwarted by the country’s intelligence and security services, authorities said.

Burkina Faso’s military rulers said in a statement on Wednesday that army officers and others had planned to seize power and plunge the country into “chaos”.

“Officers and other alleged actors involved in this attempt at destabilisation have been arrested and others are actively sought,” a spokesman for the ruling military Rimtalba Jean Emmanuel Ouedraogo said in a statement without providing details.

The latest coup attempt occurred on Tuesday, according to the statement.

The military government said it would seek to shed “all possible light on this plot” and that it regretted “that officers whose oath is to defend their homeland have strayed into an undertaking of this nature”.

The country’s military prosecutor later said that four people had been arrested and two were on the run. An investigation has been opened based on “credible allegations about a plot against state security implicating officers”, the prosecutor said.





Earlier this month, the military prosecutor said three soldiers had been arrested and charged with plotting against the ruling military government of Captain Ibrahim Traore who seized power in September 2022 eight months after an earlier military coup had overthrown the democratically elected President Roch Marc Kabore.

Burkina Faso’s capital city Ouagadougou appeared calm on Wednesday evening following the military’s announcement of an attempt to topple it.





Thousands of pro-military government demonstrators took to the streets of Ouagadougou and elsewhere on Tuesday to show their support for the country’s military rulers following a call from Traore supporters to “defend” him amid rumours of a mutiny circulated on social media.

On Monday, French news magazine Jeune Afrique was suspended from publishing what the military said was an “untruthful” article that reported tension and discontent within the armed forces.

One of a growing number of West African countries where the military has seized power, army officers in Burkina Faso have taken control amid public discontent as armed groups linked to al-Qaeda and ISIL (ISIS) have launched a rebellion that has destabilised the country and its neighbours in West Africa’s Sahel region.





More than two million people have been uprooted by the fighting in Burkina Faso, making it one of the worst internal displacement crises in Africa.

Last week authorities claimed nearly 192,000 internally displaced people had returned to their homes after various regions were retaken by government forces, though rebel attacks continue unabated despite claims of the military winning back territory.

More than 50 Burkinabe soldiers and volunteer fighters were killed in clashes with rebels in early September – the heaviest losses in months – the latest deaths that add to the thousands of civilians and troops that have died in rebel attacks in recent years, according to organisations monitoring the conflict.",1

Former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows pleaded not guilty on Tuesday, issuing his plea in a court filing. Meadows followed his former boss, former President Donald Trump, who had pleaded not guilty last week. Meadows faces two felony counts; Trump faces 13. Meadows is seeking to move his case to federal court, arguing the activities outlined in the indictment fell under his official duties as White House chief of staff. Other defendants are seeking the same move. While there will be no in-person arraignments in Georgia's Fulton County on Wednesday, the judge overseeing the case, Scott McAfee, has scheduled a hearing that day to consider certain defendants' efforts to sever their charges from the larger case.

Permission has been given for Eid-e-Milad processions from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Every year, a large procession takes place in the Central Nagpur area in which thousands of people participate. This year, as per the suggestion of the police, the time of the procession has been changed.

Moorosi Tsiane

Former Land Administration Authority (LAA) chief executive officer, Mahashe Chaka, is demanding M485 000 from the Directorate on Corruption and Economic Offences (DCEO) for unlawful arrest and torture.

Mr Chaka was arrested by DCEO officials on 10 August 2020 and detained “without any reason justifiable in law” and wants to be compensated for the alleged abuse.

The former LAA boss claims in his lawsuit filed before the High Court last week that during the detention, he was assaulted by the said officials but does not mention their names or why he had been arrested in the first place.

“On or about 10 August 2020, the plaintiff (Chaka) was unlawfully and wrongfully arrested by officers of the DCEO, who were, at that time of the arrest, acting in the course and within the scope, of their employment.

“The DCEO officers arrested the plaintiff without any justifiable cause and for no reasonable basis and therefore, the arrest and subsequent detention of the plaintiff by the DCEO, were unlawful and wrongful. On 11 August 2020, the plaintiff appeared before the magistrate and no charges were read to him, and he was thereafter released by the Maseru Magistrate Court,” Mr Chaka prays in his court papers dated 31 August 2023.

“As a result of the unlawful arrest and detention, the plaintiff suffered damages in the sum of M450 000…and had to undergo medical attention resulting from trauma and from being kept in unhygienic conditions at the detention cells. He incurred medical expenses in the sum of M35 000.

“He claims judgement in the total of M485 000 as damages for unlawful arrest, contumelia and medical expenses.”

However, the Lesotho Times has seen a charge-sheet which indicates that Mr Chaka was brought before the magistrates’ court on corruption and fraud charges he allegedly committed while still the LAA chief executive officer. He resigned from the plum post in October 2018 after the LAA board had dragged him before a disciplinary committee for allegedly abusing his position and embezzling the organisation’s funds.

According to the charge-sheet, Mr Chaka unlawfully registered two plots, one in Masowe 1 and another in the Cathedral Area, in his mother’s names, ‘Mateboho Chaka, thereby abusing his position as LAA boss.

He was further accused of selling himself an LAA Toyota Land Cruiser at 25-percent depreciated value and also buying himself a cell-phone valued at M28 696 when he was entitled to a M16 000 mobile-phone. The case is still pending before the Maseru Magistrates’ Court.

Meanwhile, this is not the first time the DCEO is being accused of abusing the subjects of its investigations. Early this year, two businessmen, Bokang Semoko of Mohale’s Hoek and Motlatsi Tsiane of Roma, successfully petitioned the High Court to have their legal representatives present when being interrogated by DCEO officials. This, they said, was to deter the officers from further assaulting them.

Messrs Semoko and Tsiane went to court after they had been allegedly abused by DCEO officials probing them in an ongoing multi-million maloti corruption scandal which reportedly took place at the Disaster Management Authority (DMA). The two are alleged to have been part of a scam by DMA chief executive officer, ‘Makhotso Caroline Mahosi, which involved corrupt contracting during a state-of-emergency declared by the government to fight Covid-19 and repair infrastructure damaged by floods.

A Qacha’s Nek man, Relebohile Thulo, in June also sued the DCEO for M1 million over an assault he was allegedly subjected to by the agency’s officers during his detention in March this year.

Mr Thulo, similarly, did not mention why he had been arrested and the names of the DCEO officials who reportedly detained and assaulted him.",1

The Pune Police have booked Milind Ekbote, president of Hindutva body Samasta Hindu Aghadi, and three others for allegedly making provocative speeches at an agitation in Maharashtra’s Pune, reported PTI.

Ekbote, along with Kunal Someshwar Kambale, Kiran Chandrakant Shinde, Vishal Dilip Pawar and others held a protest outside the Pune Municipal Corporation headquarters on September 4 to demand the removal of alleged encroachments alongside the Punyeshwar temple in Kasba Peth, the police said.

However, the protestors had not taken permission for the agitation. At the gathering, they made provocative speeches which had the potential to create a rift between communities, the police have said.

A case was registered against them at Shivajinagar police station under Indian Penal Code sections 141 (unlawful assembly), 142 (member of an unlawful assembly), 143 (punishment for being a member of an unlawful assembly), 153 (provocation with intent to cause riot), 109 (punishment of abetment) and 188 (disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant).

Ekbote had also been booked in 2021 for delivering alleged hate speeches at an event to mark the occasion of the killing of Afzal Khan by Maratha ruler Shivaji, reported Hindustan Times. Afzal Khan was a general who served the Adil Shahi dynasty of the Bijapur Sultanate in India.

He was also named in a chargesheet of the first of the 22 cases filed in the aftermath of the Bhima Koregaon violence. He was accused of instigating and delivering an inflammatory speech. The case pertains to the caste violence that broke out on January 1, 2018, in Bhima Koregaon village near Pune.",1

The Bombay High Court on Tuesday observed that a recent amendment to the Information Technology Rules gives “unfettered power” to the government in the absence of guidelines or guardrails, PTI reported.

Under the amendment notified on April 6, the Centre can set up a fact-checking unit that can flag online information it considers false or misleading. Social media intermediaries also have to censor or modify content flagged by the unit.

The court was hearing petitions by stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra, the Editors Guild of India and the Association of Indian Magazines challenging the amendment. The petitioners have described the amendment as arbitrary and unconstitutional and contended that it would have a chilling effect on citizens’ fundamental rights.

A division bench of Justices Gautam Patel and Neela Gokhale on Tuesday questioned why a separate unit was needed when the Press Information Bureau already had a wing to carry out fact checking on social media.

“You [government] have a PIB which has its presence on social media,” Justice Patel said. “Why then was this amendment required and for an FCU [fact-checking unit] to be set up? I think this amendment wants to do something more.”

However, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, representing the Union government, contended that the Press Information Bureau was toothless, and said that he would argue on this point further on Wednesday.

Rules do not prohibit expression of opinion: Centre

The Information Technology Rules only aim to rein in false news, and do not prohibit the expression of any opinion or critical analysis of the government, Mehta told the court, according to Bar and Bench.

“Any humour or satire against the political government whether we like it or not, has nothing to do with this regulation,” the solicitor general said. “Unless the humour doesn’t cross boundaries like abuse or pornography. Humour [and] satire is always welcome in any manner.”

Mehta said that the rules neither have any penal provisions nor do they criminalise anything. He said that social media intermediaries would have three options when their content is flagged by the fact-check unit – removing the content, not removing the content but adding a disclaimer that it has been flagged, or ignoring the communications from the fact-checking unit.

The court then asked why the amendment was needed if the government did not intend to mandate intermediaries to remove content, Bar and Bench reported.

It also remarked that the fact-check unit would have to be trusted as the final arbitrer of truth. “The government is the sole arbiter without any checks and balances on what is the truth,” Justice Patel said. “Basically, who will fact-check the fact-checker?”

In April, the Centre had told the High Court that it had amended the Information Technology Rules because false and misleading information could harm electoral democracy.

The Union Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology had said that misinformation has the potential to fan “separatist movements and intensify social and political conflict, while also weakening public trust in democratic institutions”.",1

At least three American Sikhs were warned by the Federal Bureau of Investigation that their lives were in danger in the wake of the killing of separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada, The Guardian reported on Tuesday.

Nijjar, the chief of the Khalistan Tiger Force, was shot dead in the parking lot of a gurdwara in Surrey near Vancouver on June 18. The Khalistan Tiger Force has been designated a terrorist outfit in India.

Canada has alleged that the Indian government may be behind his killing – a charge that has led to diplomatic tensions between the two nations.

New Delhi has claimed that Ottawa’s claims are “motivated” and asked it to take legal action against “anti-Indian elements” operating from its soil instead. The accusation also sparked tit-for-tat retaliation, with each country expelling diplomats. India has also indefinitely suspended visa services in Canada, citing security threats to its officials.

United States Ambassador to Canada David Cohen on Saturday said that Ottawa was informed about the possible involvement of the Indian government in the killing of the Sikh separatist leader by an intelligence-sharing alliance known as the Five Eyes. The alliance consists of the US, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and Canada.

On Tuesday, Pritpal Singh, a 69-year-old US citizen who serves as a coordinator for the American Sikh Caucus Committee, confirmed to The Guardian that he, his associate Amarjit Singh and another person were called by the Federal Bureau of Investigation just days after Nijjar’s murder.

“I was visited by two FBI special agents in late June who told me that they had received information that there was a threat against my life,” Singh had first told The Intercept on Saturday. “They did not tell us specifically where the threat was coming from, but they said that I should be careful.”

Singh added that he was later offered more specific safety instructions by the law enforcement agency. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is bound to alert citizens if it learns that their lives are in danger under legal protection known as a “duty to warn”.

“Such intimidation of Americans is a form of transnational repression by the Indian government,” Singh told The Guardian. “Transnational repression not only threatens individuals but also undermines our democratic institutions, curtails individual rights and freedoms, and challenges the national security and sovereignty of the United States.”

Amarjit Singh said that he was first alerted of a possible threat to his life on June 22 after he was returning from a protest in Washington against Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visit to the United States.

He said the warning from the Federal Bureau of Investigation was followed by a longer in-person meeting a few weeks later. He added that he decided to go public about the warning only after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau revealed details about Nijjar’s killing.

“It was a warning,” Amarjit Singh told The Guardian. “They said no travel, just keep yourself safe.”

US State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller on Tuesday called for a full and fair investigation into Canada’s allegations against the possible involvement of the Indian government in the case.

“They are such concerning allegations that we think there ought to be a full and fair investigation,” Miller said, according to PTI. “Canada has said it is committed to doing that, and we believe the Indian government should cooperate with it.”",1

SHILLONG, Sep 27: Seventeen years after a 21-year-old student, Biplab Das, was found dead in Shillong in 2006, the High Court of Meghalaya on Wednesday convicted two individuals – Bernard Lyngdoh Phawa and Bonie Lyngdoh Phawa – in connection with the case.

The court found the duo guilty of committing murder and concealing evidence of the offence, and convicted them under Section 302 read with Section 201 of Indian Penal Code (IPC).

The High Court also reversed the “judgment and order impugned” dated March 26, 2019 wherein a trial court referred to the last-seen theory and disbelieved the prosecution case that it was Bernard and Bonie who were with Biplab at the time of or immediately prior to Biplab’s death.

In a 41-page order, a division bench of Chief Justice Sanjib Banerjee and Justice W Diengdoh said there was a common intention and accordingly, both the respondents (Bernard and Bonie) were found guilty of committing murder and concealing the evidence of the offence.

“Since this is not a rarest of rare case, both the respondents are sentenced to life imprisonment under Section 302 IPC and three years of rigorous imprisonment under Section 201 IPC. The sentences would run concurrently, in the sense that the respondents will serve rigorous imprisonment in the first three years and continue to remain in prison thereafter for life,” the court said.

“It was a dastardly act that had been plotted out with the common intention of obtaining money from the victim – whether or not it was by way of extortion or by kidnapping for ransom – and the victim died a gruesome death as a result of the plan executed by the respondents,” the court said, adding, “It is only just that the respondents face the appropriate consequence for their acts.”

Biplab, who was enrolled in an undergraduate mass communication programme at St. Anthony’s College in Shillong, was found not to have returned to his lodgings on the night of February 18, 2006. The next morning, a missing complaint was lodged with the Sardar Police Station in Shillong by his local guardian.

The court said the local guardian organised one or more teams of the missing man’s friends to go out on search for Biplab. By the evening of February 19, one of the search parties discovered a PCO in Mawroh from where Biplab had called a friend Nirvika Singhania at or about 8:30 pm the previous evening.

“The first respondent (Bernard) herein was a part of the search party that visited the relevant PCO, but while Bernard was waiting in a taxi nearby another friend of Biplab was told by the PCO owner that Bernard was one of the persons who had visited the PCO around the same time the previous evening,” the court said in its order.

“Bernard was arrested at 9 am on February 20, 2006 by Sardar police station and the memorandum of arrest indicated a charge of kidnapping for ransom…Following Bernard’s interrogation by the police, he referred to the second respondent (Bonie) who was arrested on February 23, 2006,” the court order said.

It further said that according to the investigating officer, the first respondent revealed on February 20, 2006 that a rope had been used for killing Biplab.

“The officer also testified at the trial that the dead body of Biplab was recovered on February 21, 2006, hinting that it was Bernard who led them to the dead body. The relevant rope was recovered on February 24, 2006,” the court order further said.",1

The accused 42-year-old sub-inspector, Sudhir Pandey, has been suspended and a probe has been ordered against him, Assistant Commissioner of Police (Prayagraj) Sudhir Kumar said on Wednesday.

According to police, the alleged incident took place last Thursday (September 21) when Pandey “forced” the woman to accompany him in his car to identify the person who allegedly made threat calls to her.

The woman, who is married and has a son, in her complaint said that she had gone to a police outpost to complain about getting threat calls from an anonymous caller. The outpost in-charge, S-I Pandey, took her cellphone number and said he would find out the caller. However, according to the woman, Pandey started making random calls to her.

On September 21 afternoon, the woman said that S-I Pandey asked her to come to the police outpost in the evening.

“The woman said that when she was heading towards the police outpost, she came across S-I Pandey, who was seated inside a private car. The S-I told her that he has traced a person who had made the threatening call to her. She alleged that the S-I forced her to sit inside the car and offered her cold drinks laced with sedatives on the way.

The woman said that after consuming cold drinks, she fell unconscious and the S-I then raped her inside the car,” said a police officer involved in the probe.

The woman also said that while returning to the outpost, Pandey who was drunk by then, lost control over the wheels and the car collided with a tree. She was injured and a police team got her admitted to a hospital.

She also alleged that three men, identified as Arjun, Sabhajeet, and Santosh Pandey, along with the S-I started threatening her against filing a rape complaint.

The FIR was registered on September 26 after the woman lodged a complaint with senior officers. The FIR against S-I Pandey has been lodged under IPC sections 328 (causing hurt by means of poison, etc., with intent to commit an offence), 354-D (stalking), 376 (rape), 506 (criminal intimidation) and different sections of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.

Arjun, Sabhajeet, and Santosh have also been booked, police said.

“It will be a part of the investigation to find whether any complaint of threat calls was filed on a complaint of the woman,” said a senior police officer, adding that the woman said that she could not immediately file a complaint against the S-I after the alleged incident as she was unwell and could not go to the police station.",1

Suspected Facilitator of Illegal Immigration Arrested after Migrant's Tragic Death in English Channel

The UK National Crime Agency announced the arrest of a 21-year-old Sudanese man suspected to be involved in an incident where a woman died attempting to cross the English Channel. The suspect is believed to have piloted a boat that reached UK waters. The case is being investigated by both French and British authorities.

India

-Krishna Kripa

The UK National Crime Agency reported on Wednesday that a 21-year-old Sudanese man has been apprehended in connection with the investigation into the death of a woman attempting to cross the English Channel. The arrest occurred in Dover, a southern English port town, where the man is currently held under suspicion of illegal entry and facilitating illicit immigration.

Suspect's Alleged Role

Authorities believe that this individual may have piloted the small boat that reached UK waters on Tuesday. This development follows after authorities in Calais, northern France, discovered an unidentified woman's body washed up on their shores. Both countries are now collaborating closely to bring those responsible for this tragic event to justice.

Victim Identified as Eritrean Migrant

The Pas-de-Calais regional administration identified the deceased as a 24-year-old migrant from Eritrea. She was found dead at Bleriot-Plage beach after reportedly falling from a boat during her perilous attempt to traverse the English Channel. French authorities are currently leading an investigation into this incident with support from British law enforcement agencies.

Joint Investigation Underway

Craig Turner, deputy director of Britain’s National Crime Agency, expressed his commitment towards identifying those involved in this unfortunate incident. He emphasized collaboration between both nations' respective law enforcement agencies and highlighted their common goal - bringing those responsible for such tragedies to justice.

British Government's Stance

This incident underscores British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s Conservative government’s increasingly punitive approach towards unauthorized arrivals by sea or other non-conventional means. While human rights advocates argue that these individuals are often fleeing dire circumstances and should be treated with empathy and respect, governments like Sunak's assert that stricter border controls are necessary for national security purposes.

In conclusion, the arrest of a 21-year-old Sudanese man in connection with the death of an Eritrean migrant attempting to cross the English Channel has once again brought issues surrounding immigration and border control into sharp focus. As investigations continue, it remains to be seen what impact this incident will have on existing UK policies and attitudes towards illegal immigration.",1

 The post  Mobs of masked teens ransacked Philadelphia stores, 15 to 20 held  appeared first on  The Shillong Times . Philadelphia, Sep 27: Groups of teenagers swarmed into stores in several areas of Philadelphia in an apparently coordinated effort, stuffing plastic bags with merchandise and fleeing, authorities said. Police arrested 15 to 20 people.

The flash mob-style ransacking Tuesday night at stores including Foot Locker, Lululemon and Apple came after a peaceful protest over a judge’s decision to dismiss murder and other charges against a Philadelphia police officer who shot and killed a driver, Eddie Irizarry, through a rolled-up window. Video on social media showed masked people in hoodies running out of Lululemon with merchandise and police officers grabbing several and tackling them to the sidewalk. Photos of a sporting goods store at a mall showed mannequins and sneakers scattered on the sidewalk.

Those doing the ransacking were not affiliated with the protest, Interim Police Commissioner John Stanford said at a news conference, calling the group “a bunch of criminal opportunists.” The thefts and unrest stretched from downtown to Northeast and West Philadelphia, leaving smashed display windows and broken storefront coverings.

People appeared to have organised efforts on social media, Stanford said. Police are investigating “that there was possibly a caravan of a number of different vehicles that were going from location to location” and that a couple of people in the caravan were in custody. There was a high number of young people in Philadelphia’s downtown business corridor, called Centre City, shortly before 8 p.m., and some officers stopped a group of males “dressed in black attire and wearing masks,” according to a police news release.

At that time, reports and 911 calls came in about the Foot Locker store. When police arrived, they found it had been “ransacked in a coordinated attack,” the news release said. The juveniles fled, and at least one adult as arrested.

No injuries were immediately reported, but CBS Philadelphia reported that a security guard was assaulted at the Foot Locker. In North Philadelphia, a pharmacy owner said his store was broken into for a third time and items taken.

“I understand, you know, desperate times for people call for desperate measures and there are plenty of opportunists that just see drugs,” Benjamin Nachum told CBS. He said, though, that a safe in his store did its job, “so there won’t be any illicit narcotics hitting the street.”

The thefts occurred the same day Target announced it will close nine stores in four states, including one in New York City’s East Harlem neighbourhood, and three in the San Francisco Bay Area, saying that theft and organised retail crime have threatened the safety of its workers and customers.

Immediately after, the victim broke all ties with him but the accused insisting her to “live with him like a married couple” and pestered her via phone calls and text messages and at their workplace.

When she tried to ignore him, the accused threatened to defame her at their work. This continued despite her leaving the work later. On September 24, when the victim was at her house, Jaiswal forcefully entered her house at around 6:30 am. He tried to convince her to “love him back” and touched her inappropriately. When she stood her grounds of not wanting any relationship with him, he sexually molested her and threatened her. “He said he would bring a chopper and a rifle from his hometown and kill her,” the woman told the policeman.

Jaiswal, a permanent employee at CR, was arrested on Monday evening by the police. He originally hails from Bhusawal, but lives in Andheri for job purposes.

He was presented in court and remanded to police custody for one day, then to judicial custody, confirmed the police. Charges including section 452 (house-trespass after preparation for hurt, assault or wrongful restraint), 354D (stalking), 509 (insult the modesty of any woman), 5062 (death threat), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), of the Indian Penal Code have been lodged against Jaiswal.

Homicide suspect Kevin Mason arrested in St. Paul 2 weeks after unintended launch from jail 00:36

ST. PAUL, Minn. — A Minneapolis homicide suspect is now once more behind bars after he was mistakenly launched from an Indianapolis jail earlier this month.

The Marion County Sheriff’s Workplace in Indiana introduced that Kevin Mason was arrested Wednesday in South St. Paul by the U.S. Marshal Service.

The USMS later confirmed with WCCO that the arrest occurred round 1 p.m. on the 900 block of Summit Avenue. There have been no incidents or accidents throughout the arrest.

Kevin Mason Minneapolis police



Mason, 28, was charged with second-degree homicide in connection to the deadly capturing of Dontevius Catchings within the Shiloh Temple car parking zone in June of 2021. The gunfire broke out throughout a visitation for a person who died in a shootout in entrance of a downtown Minneapolis nightclub. Mason was charged by warrant in Hennepin County roughly two months later.

After greater than two years on the run, Mason was arrested in Indianapolis on Sept. 11. However he was launched two days later as a result of a mistake made by jailhouse staff.

Marion County Sheriff Kerry Forestal mentioned Mason’s girlfriend picked up up close to the jail. A large manhunt has been underway ever since – till Wednesday’s arrest.

“I wish to lengthen my honest gratitude and congratulations to the USMS for concluding this manhunt and safely bringing Mason again into custody,” Forestal mentioned. “Our federal companions have saved us knowledgeable all through all the course of. We’re actually grateful for his or her help and broad sources — most particularly, their process pressure partnerships with native legislation enforcement businesses which have allowed them to pursue Kevin Mason all through the nation.”

Mason just isn’t going through expenses in Indianapolis.

It is a growing story, so test again for extra.

As part of this scam, people are tricked into sharing their bank account details and transferring money into some other accounts. Here's how the fraud works:

The targeted person is called saying a parcel containing illegal products like tiger skins, cocaine or high value jewellery has been sent to them.

Later, the person is contacted by someone claiming to be a police officer. The person is then asked to get on a Skype call for further investigation.

The person is also asked to keep the matter private.

The fraudsters then send forged documents from the CBI, RBI, an arrest warrant in the person's name and more.

The targeted person is then told that their Aadhar card number is being used for money laundering.

The scammers then collect the details of the person’s bank account and Aadhar card and ask them to transfer money to their bank accounts, promising them to return their money after verification by RBI.

He said that the defendant’s ‘tawdry’ reason that he had not allowed investigators access to two mobile phones and a laptop computer because they contained intimate images, was the type of excuse that was usually proffered to the court by drug dealers.

It was a tragedy, said Lt-Bailiff Finch.

The defendant, who joined Guernsey Police in 2016, had once had a bright future. He was an intelligent person who had thrown it all away by this offending, in what had been his first week with CID in 2021.

The trial heard how he had examined social media contact on the woman’s phone prior to the forensic examination of it which went against police procedures. She was listed on the police computer system as requiring an appropriate adult to be present when speaking to her, yet he had gone to her home alone to question her about the rape allegation.

The 47 minutes of footage of that conversation which the defendant had recorded on his body-worn camera was described as ‘disturbing’ by Lt-Bailiff Finch.

He told the woman that she risked being in trouble if she pursued her complaint and that police would take her to court.

Cusack was also in contact with her two months before she made her complaint, but he had not declared this.

His offending came to light when the woman’s social worker raised concerns with police about things the woman had told her.

Cusack had originally denied failing to give police the access codes to his phones and computer and challenged the legality of the notice which was served compelling him to do so. When the court ruled that the notice had been served lawfully, he changed his plea.

Defending, Advocate Andrew Ayres said his client had had a strong work ethic and had worked at an airline and in the Joint Emergency Services Control Centre before becoming a police officer. He was also a licensed firearms officer and several of his colleagues had thought highly of him. He was also a community responder for St John Ambulance.

He had been signed off work since this incident. The publicity from the case would carry on for a long time and make it hard for him to get back on his feet.

His client maintained his innocence to the main charge. Counsel said it was readily conceded that there were aggravating factors in the case.

His client had been in a position of trust and the rape complainant had come from a vulnerable person.

His actions had not changed the ultimate outcome of the rape investigation. Crown Advocate Chris Dunford said that for the record, the investigation had reopened and been completed.

Lt-Bailiff Finch said this had been a highly unusual case for Guernsey, and probably unique.

‘Your previous relationship with the complainant is what makes the crux of this case,’ he said.

He commended the Police Professional Standards for the way in which they had investigated the manner which was not easy in a small force.

Cusack was jailed for 18 months for perverting the course of justice.",1

The executive was speaking at a Senate inquiry into Transport Minister Catherine King’s controversial decision to turn down Qatar’s bids for more flights to Australia earlier this month. The matter came up after King said that the airline’s behaviour with regard to the 2020 incident was a factor in her decision.

A number of the affected women had written to King, urging her to deny the airline’s application for additional services to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth. King had later told reporters that though her decision was taken in “context” of the women’s complaint, “there is no one factor that I would point to that swayed my decision one way or the other.”

Transport Minister Catherine King says invasive body searches conducted by Qatar Airlines on Australian women provided “context” for her decision to block the airline from adding more flights into Australia.

Speaking at the hearing, Qatar Airways senior vice president of global sales, Matt Raos, told the Canberra Senate that what happened was a “one-off incident.”

“This was very much a one-off incident, a very extreme incident. We’ve had nothing like it previously in our history, and we’re completely committed to ensuring nothing like this ever happens again,” he said as per a report in Australian newspaper The Sydney Morning Herald.

What happened?

Raos was referring to the incident which took place on October 2, 2020, when 18 women, including 13 from Australia, on the Qatar Airways flight QR908 from Doha to Sydney were allegedly subjected to invasive gynaecological examinations without their consent after a newborn baby was found abandoned in the airport. Reports said that they were escorted by armed guards.

Qatari authorities reportedly grounded the planes at Hamad International Airport in Doha and allegedly non-consensually subjected all women on the flight of child-bearing age to physical examinations to confirm if they had given birth recently.

Five of the women have sued the airline at the Australian Federal Court, and the case is ongoing.

‘Scariest moment’

Speaking to SMH in 2021, one of the women, who was travelling with her five-month-old baby, described it as “the scariest moment” of her life.

“[The nurse] said ‘I need you to lay down on the bed’ … and she grabbed my pants and my underwear and she stripped them. And for a second I just think my head was about to explode,” she told the paper, adding, “It’s a humiliation and the abuse of power, the breach of my human rights. No one is allowed to touch me. No one is allowed to strip me naked without my consent … And that’s what happened in a major airport, one of the biggest airports in the world with a major airline.”

Another woman described being taken to an ambulance and being searched as a “bizarre” experience.

“I remember thinking, ‘This is bizarre. Why am I having to remove my pants?’ So I pulled them down and she goes, ‘We need to remove your underwear.’ And I said, ‘I don’t feel comfortable with removing my underwear,’ and I was physically holding them up … I was in shock at that stage … I remember laying there thinking, ‘This isn’t right. This is not how this should be happening. This isn’t how this should be done’,” she told SMH.

Qatar’s apology

Following uproar over the incident, Qatar’s Prime Minister, Khalid bin Khalifa bin Abdulaziz Al Thani took to Twitter to issue an apology.

“We regret the unacceptable treatment of the female passengers at HIA. I assure you that we will hold those responsible for these acts to account. What took place does not represent Qatar’s laws or values. We will undertake all measures to prevent a recurrence,” he had written.

However, the women alleged that the airline had neither issued an apology or responded to their complaints in a meaningful manner. In fact, when the women raised a legal demand on the matter, Qatar Airways had brushed it aside as having “no merit,” said the SMH report.

Speaking at the hearing on Wednesday, Raos refused to elaborate about the incident because of the ongoing case.

A girl, around 12 years of age, was found bleeding on a street in Ujjain city of Madhya Pradesh, and medical examination confirmed that she had been raped, police said on September 27.

The girl was found wandering in a semi-clothed condition on Monday, the police said. She is currently under treatment at a hospital in Indore. CCTV footage showing the 12-year-old trying to seek help and being turned away has caused furore on social media. Opposition parties have criticised the Madhya Pradesh government for the “lack of safety for women” in the State.

“A girl, aged around 12 years, was found bleeding on a street located under the Mahakal police station area in Ujjain on Monday [September 25]. She was taken to a hospital, where her initial medical examination confirmed that she had been raped,” Ujjain Superintendent of Police (SP) Sachin Sharma told journalists.

Mr. Sharma added that going by the girl’s accent, she appeared to be from Prayagraj in Uttar Pradesh but only further investigation could confirm it. CCTV footage captured on cameras installed at different places in Ujjain established that the girl was wandering for over two hours before she found help. One clip shows her approaching a man but being turned away.

The girl found help near Dandi Ashram — a residential gurukul — whose manager Rahul Sharma offered assistance and informed the police.

“I was leaving the gurukul for a meeting when I saw a girl standing close to the Ashram gate. She was bleeding, was half-naked and her eyes were swollen. She seemed scared and tried to move away. I first gave her a cloth [to cover herself] and assured her that she had nothing to fear. I then enquired what had happened but she spoke in a language that I did not understand; I also gave her a pen and paper but she could not write anything either,” Mr. Sharma told The Hindu over the phone.

After unsuccessfully trying to get details from the girl about her parents or any contact number, Mr. Sharma and the gurukul staff provided her some food and informed the police. Till Wednesday evening, the police have not been able to trace the girl’s family.

Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra said that one person had been taken into custody and a Special Investigation Team had been formed to probe the matter.

The Congress has stepped up its attack on the BJP government in the State with former party president Rahul Gandhi calling it an attack on the “heart of mother India”. State Congress president and former Chief Minister Kamal Nath demanded the harshest punishment for the criminals and demanded that medical treatment and financial assistance of ₹1 crore be provided to the girl.

“It is heart-wrenching to see a case of extremely cruel abuse of a small girl in Ujjain. The kind of rape that happened to a 12-year-old daughter and the way she ran around in many areas of the city in a semi-nude state and then fell unconscious on the road, puts humanity to shame,” Mr. Nath posted on X. “I want to know from the Chief Minister whether you will just keep fighting elections and making false announcements? Will you fill the hoardings of entire Madhya Pradesh with pictures of daughters created by artificial intelligence, but will not pay any attention to the safety of innocent daughters?” he asked.

Terming the incident heinous and a stain on the administration and society, Mr. Nath further asked if the daughter upon who this cruelty was inflicted was not “Ladli Lakshmi” or “Ladli Behna” [both names of women-centric schemes of the State government. The party’s Madhya Pradesh in-charge Randeep Singh Surjewala also took to X and wrote that a 12-year-old girl had become a victim of brutality just like “Nirbhaya” had. He accused the BJP government of being “ineffective”.

BJP State president V.D. Sharma termed the incident most unfortunate and added that the criminals would get a death sentence.",1

Subramaniam says nexus between bureaucrats, politicians and others plays pivotal role in grabbing of public properties on account of sky rocketing market value of the lands September 27, 2023 08:49 pm | Updated 08:49 pm IST - CHENNAI

Influential people in the society are the large scale grabbers of government lands across the country, the Madras High Court observed on Wednesday after being told that Singanallur MLA K.R. Jeyaram of AIADMK and Bharatiya Janata Party district president U. Balaji Uthama Ramasamy had illegally got government lands at Velankurichi village transferred to their names and also constructed several buildings on those lands.

Justice S.M. Subramaniam directed the Commissioner of Land Administration to take possession of the entire extent of 45.82 acres within four weeks and utilise the lands as well as the buildings for public purposes. The orders were passed on a joint writ petition filed by the MLA, the BJP district president and others in 2018 against a Revenue Divisional Officer’s 2017 order refusing to grant ‘patta’ (revenue document on land ownership) for the property.

On perusal of the records, the judge found that the land originally belonged to G. Govindasamy Naidu but had got declared as surplus under the Tamil Nadu Land Reforms (Fixation of Ceiling) Act, 1961. However, the legal heirs did not hand over the property to the government in accordance with the law and instead continued to approach the government officials, besides resorting to legal remedies before the High Court, in order to obtain patta for the land.

A writ petition filed in this regard in 2002 was dismissed by Justice M.M. Sundresh (now a Supreme Court judge) in 2010 and his judgement was confirmed by a Division Bench of the High Court in 2011. Even thereafter, the family members did not let the matter rest. One more writ petition was filed in 2011 seeking a direction to the Coimbatore North Tahsildar to grant patta and a direction was obtained to consider the application. Thereafter, the Tahsildar granted patta in 2012.

However, on appeal, a Revenue Divisional Officer overturned the Tahsildar’s order leading to the present writ petition. Not finding any reason to entertain the petition, Justice Subramaniam held that the petitioners could not be allowed to unsettle the issues that were settled by a Division Bench of the High Court in 2012 itself. He also wrote that grabbing of government lands and illegal constructions were causing greatest concern in society.

“Influential people in the society are the large-scale grabbers of the government lands across the country. Unless the courts step in and initiate appropriate action, the principles of social justice and the concept of constitutional democracy are diluted. Large scale nexus between the bureaucrats and the politicians and the private individuals play pivotal role in grabbing of the government lands on account of sky rocketing of market value of the lands,” the judge said.

“Whosoever is in illegal occupation of the government lands or has constructed illegal buildings in the said government lands, howsoever high they are, this court would neither spare them nor allow them go scot free. Under the guise of performing public services, neither the bureaucrats nor the politicos can be allowed to loot the public lands and thereby cause infringement of the basic right of the citizens,” Justice Subramaniam ordered.

In yet another case alleging illegal occupation of 186 acres of land in Cuddalore district by the family members of DMK Member of Parliament T.R.V.S. Ramesh and others, the judge decided to appoint the Commissioner of Land Administration as a court appointed officer to initiate necessary action.",1

The Doddaballapur police have arrested 23 people who are members of a pro-Hindutva outfit and registered six cases against social media groups who circulated videos of the attack and arson to communalise the incident of an attack on people allegedly transporting beef in six vehicles from Hindupur to Bengaluru in the early hours of Sunday.

According to the police, the accused, representing Sri Rama Sene and other pro-Hindutva outfits, intercepted the vehicle at Doddaballapur IB circle, assaulted the drivers and paraded them with the meat on their heads. The accused dumped the meat on the road and protested, accusing the police and local administration of allowing beef smuggling. The accused also set fire to one of the cars, creating a tense situation.

While the police rushed to the spot and struggled hard to contain the situation, the accused recorded the video of the incident and started circulating it on their social media groups and accounts to communalise the incident, said the police. The police had to call additional deployment to contain the situation and later arrested the accused for dacoity, assault using dangerous weapons, arson, rioting, and unlawful assembly, among other sections under the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

Seven men, including drivers of the vehicles, were booked under the anti-cow slaughter law, a senior officer said.

The police suspect that there are more people involved in the incident, and efforts are on to track them down.

A teenager piloted a boat full of asylum-seekers across the English Channel after watching TikTok videos on how to enter the UK illegally, a court was told.

Abdul Basset Ahmed, 18, took charge of a small inflatable boat crammed with 58 other passengers just days after the British government had announced a crackdown on the brazen social media “promotions”.

Canterbury Crown Court heard that Sudanese fisherman Ahmed had agreed to take control of the rib two days before it set off from France on August 14.

He later told police he was given a “€600 discount” by those in charge of the illicit enterprise for doing so and was in control of the boat from start to finish before it was intercepted by the Border Force, prosecutor Stacey-Lee Holland said.

She said: “He stated he did not know it was illegal to pilot a boat but he knew he was entering the UK illegally. He stated he watched TikTok videos on how to do so.

“He said he was also aware the other passengers in the boat were entering illegally.”

Ahmed pleaded guilty to assisting in the facilitation of unlawful immigration and attempting to arrive in the UK without valid entry clearance.

Just eight days earlier, the government had announced that tech giants including TikTok had signed an initiative to work with the National Crime Agency in finding and removing the criminal adverts.

The adverts reportedly promote a range of illegal routes by dinghy, lorry and plane, as well as offering discounts, free children’s crossings and fake documents.

No details of the video content viewed by Ahmed were revealed in court, however.

The court heard Ahmed had learned to pilot boats as a fisherman in Sudan and then in Tunisia as he travelled across several “safe” countries to reach France.

James Burke, defending, said organised criminals had then “exploited” the teenager’s limited finances and naivety.

He said: “His real intent was simply to make the journey across the Channel, exactly the same as the other 58 people on the boat, and to make a better life for himself in the UK.”

Sentencing Ahmed for two years, Judge Simon James said he believed the main reason he had been charged with the more serious facilitation offence was due to his full and frank admissions.

But he said custody was inevitable in spite of this “complete lack of criminal sophistication” as well as his age, lack of previous convictions, no involvement in any planning of the trip, or any earlier attempts to enter the country illegally.

Of the 59 people in the boat, including Ahmed, 44 were said to have since claimed asylum.

His application is yet to be processed however and any decision will be made by the Home Office on his release.",1

Four British women are set to sue influencer Andrew Tate in London’s High Court, alleging that he raped and coercively controlled them.

The abuse is said to have taken place between 2013 and 2016, before he rose to prominence on social media.

Each of the women claim that Mr Tate throttled them until the blood vessels in their eyes burst, while he allegedly texted one to say: “I love raping you.”

Three of the women reported him to Hertfordshire Police but after a four-year investigation, the Crown Prosecution Service did not bring charges.

Tate has denied the allegations and is threatening to sue them for defamation.

According to The Sunday Times, the women now believe a civil case to be their only option, and are reportedly planning to sue Mr Tate for pychiatric harm and personal injury.

“We were forced to watch as Andrew was allowed to leave the country while still under investigation, and saw his fame and influence grow in the way that it did,” one of the women said.

They are expected to file their claim in the coming weeks, which includes allegations that Tate choked them, beat them with a belt and raped them numerous times.

Two of the women first made public allegations against the influencer in a Vice World News article in January, with the third coming forward the following week.

Having read about the women’s legal action, the fourth joined the civil claim in June, with lawyers saying that more than six other women had approached them with potential personal injury cases against Mr Tate.

Their solicitor, Matthew Jury at McCue Jury & Partners, said Tate’s public profile had grown since the women came forward, and that they had seen children copying his mannerisms as he became a martyr of “masculinity”.

A spokesman for Andrew Tate said the British women’s allegations “stem from a letter submitted by Matthew Jury, in which he suggested mediation through financial compensation”, adding: “It is important to emphasise that this letter does not constitute a formal legal case.”

A letter written in response to the pre-litigation notice said that Mr Tate “shall resist any attempt to claim anonymity for all or any of the complainants” and was “contemplating proceedings against the complainants” for defamation.

Jennifer Sayles, a lawyer working alongside Matthew Jury, said the four women were “suffering immensely” and had been dealing with “bouts of depression and anxiety”.

The Tate brothers are facing human trafficking and sexual exploitation charges in Romania (AP)

One of the women alleges she was recruited by Tate as a webcam model in 2014 and was promised a glamorous lifestyle, before she was isolated and raped by him.

Another said that Mr Tate told her “I own you” and “you belong to me” while regularly choking her, while another claimed he throttled her to the point she thought she would die.

While he was being investigated by Hertfordshire police for three of the allegations, he appeared on Big Brother and travelled to live in Romania.

Mr Tate is currently banned from YouTube, Instagram and Facebook due to his comments towards women, many of which are deemed as sexist and misogynistic.

He sells access to the War Room, an online “brotherhood and community” with membership fees of £4,000 and continues to use X (formerly known as Twitter).

He and his brother Tristan, as well as two Romanian women, are currently awaiting trial in Romania on charges of human trafficking and sexual exploitation. They each deny the allegations against them.",1

Suella Braverman will use a speech in the US to declare that no migrant crossing the Channel to Britain is in “imminent peril”.

The Home Secretary is expected to say that “seeking asylum and seeking better economic prospects are not the same thing” as she takes aim at the United Nations’ Refugee Convention.

The Cabinet minister is tasked with helping to deliver the Prime Minister’s pledge of stopping the boats from crossing the Channel — one of five that Rishi Sunak hopes to deliver ahead of a likely election next year.

Mrs Braverman will tell a Washington DC audience on Tuesday that offering asylum to a person because they are gay, a woman or fearing discrimination in their home country is not sustainable.

Nobody entering the UK by boat from France is fleeing imminent peril Home Secretary Suella Braverman

She will highlight that the UK and the US, among others, interpret the 1951 UN convention’s stipulation for refugees to “present themselves without delay to the authorities” as meaning that “people should seek refuge and claim asylum in the first safe country that they reach” — something she will argue is not always happening.

In a pre-briefed extract of her speech, Mrs Braverman will say: “The status quo, where people are able to travel through multiple safe countries, and even reside in safe countries for years, while they pick their preferred destination to claim asylum, is absurd and unsustainable.

“Nobody entering the UK by boat from France is fleeing imminent peril. None of them have ‘good cause’ for illegal entry.

“The vast majority have passed through multiple safe countries, and in some instances have resided in safe countries for several years.

“In this sense, there is an argument that they should cease to be treated as refugees when considering the legitimacy of their onward movement.”

The senior Conservative’s speech comes against the backdrop of almost 24,000 migrants arriving into the UK via small boat since January.

That figure, based on official Home Office data, is likely to rise after fresh arrivals were spotted on the south coast of England early on Tuesday.

The Government’s plans to deal with high levels of unauthorised migration are currently stalled.

The Illegal Migration Act legislated for those arriving via the Channel to be deported to their country of origin, or to Rwanda after ministers struck a deal with the east African country.

But the Kigali plan is tied up in the courts, with a deportation flight yet to take off.

The Home Secretary has previously taken aim at the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), signed in 1950, claiming it restricted the Government’s efforts to introduce policies such as the Rwanda scheme.

In her speech to the American Enterprise Institute, a centre-right think tank in Washington DC, she will set out a blueprint for international efforts to tackle the refugee crisis.

Ms Braverman is set to describe the UN convention as “an incredible achievement of its age” but will ask if it is “in need of reform” seven decades after being signed.

She will say research indicates that the accord “now confers the notional right to move to another country upon at least 780 million people”.

She will also argue that tests for how refugees are defined have changed, lowering the threshold for claiming asylum.

Ms Braverman will say: “Let me be clear, there are vast swathes of the world where it is extremely difficult to be gay, or to be a woman. Where individuals are being persecuted, it is right that we offer sanctuary.

“But we will not be able to sustain an asylum system if in effect simply being gay, or a woman, and fearful of discrimination in your country of origin is sufficient to qualify for protection.”

Labour accused the Conservatives of looking to blame the convention for its immigration failures.

Anneliese Dodds, the Labour Party chairwoman, told GB News: “International conventions are not the reason why the Conservative Government is failing in particular to take action against the international people-smuggling gangs.”

Highlighting that the Home Office is spending about £8 million per day on hotels for asylum seekers, Ms Dodds added: “I’m afraid the responsibility for all of this lies squarely with the Conservative Government.

“We’ve seen convictions for people smugglers go down considerably under the Conservatives, we’ve seen the rate of returns of people whose applications have failed also going down precipitously by 70%.”

Ben Bradshaw, a gay Labour MP and former cabinet minister, took aim at Mrs Braverman over her comments, pointing out that being homosexual in some countries can have deadly risks.

He tweeted: “Any LGBT or other Tories prepared to condemn Braverman for this?

“She doesn’t seem to grasp that simply being gay is enough to result in persecution or death in many countries.”

But Chris Philp, a minister in Mrs Braverman’s Home Office, appeared to double down on the comments, claiming some people falsely claim to be persecuted and “some people claim to be gay when they’re not”.

He told Times Radio: “When I was immigration minister, I came across a number of cases when people had claimed to be gay, produced photographs of them and a sort of same-sex partner and it turned out on further investigation it was a sibling, it wasn’t a same-sex partner at all.”",1

Legally registered brokers and advisors are required to have customer protections. You can use free tools to check if the person is an advisor or broker, and that the company they work at, are registered with the CFTC/National Futures Association (NFA), Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), or the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). If they are not registered, they may be operating illegally.

Second, don’t believe everything promised.

If someone claims that they will make you wild profits that seem too good to be true, they often are. Ask for written proof of the profits they have made—and don’t accept a screen shot. Many defendants in our enforcement cases provided fake screen shots to their victims. Also ask about whether they have experienced losses.

Third, notify the government if you think you may be a victim.

If you try to withdraw your funds or crypto, and keep getting delays or excuses, or if you think you have been scammed, you can contact the CFTC and SEC to file a tip/complaint.

Cautionary Tale: The Jacob Orvidas case is a cautionary tale. The defendant fraudulently solicited $2.27 million in customer Bitcoin that he promised to trade on a leveraged basis. He illegally operated a crypto fund that was required to be registered with the CFTC, but was not. He touted his crypto trading skills, lied, and made empty promises of significant profits. For example, the defendant told one pool participant that one client invested $100,000 worth of Bitcoin and cashed out $2.7 million. Instead, he lost nearly all of the customers funds, which he tried to cover up. He sent fake screen shots of past profits.

 The post  Where is Samantha Azzopardi Now? What Happened to Samantha Azzopardi?  appeared first on  Gud Story . Where is Samantha Azzopardi now? Samantha Azzopardi, who is known for tricking people many times, got out of jail in December 2022 because of her mental health problems. Nobody knows where she is or what she’s doing right now.

Where is Samantha Azzopardi Now?

Samantha Azzopardi, the person who often pretended to be someone else to trick people, got out of jail on December 15, 2022. She was supposed to be in jail longer, but they let her out early because she had some mental health problems that made things complicated.

After she got out of jail, nobody knew where she was or what she was doing. Samantha Azzopardi has a history of pretending to be different people and lying to folks, but we don’t really understand why she does this.

Some doctors say she has a disorder called borderline personality disorder and something rare called pseudologia fantastica, which means she makes up stories and believes them like they’re real. So, her situation is kind of confusing.

What Happened to Samantha Azzopardi?

Samantha Azzopardi, who’s known for tricking people by pretending to be someone else, got into a lot of trouble with the law because of her lies. She did this many times and got caught. In her most recent case in November 2022, she admitted that she lied to the police on purpose.

But her punishment was not very long, just three months in jail, because she has some mental health problems that make things complicated. She got out of jail on December 15, 2022.

Doctors say she has something called borderline personality disorder and a rare mental condition called pseudologia fantastica, which means she makes up stories and believes them as if they’re real. Because of her mental health issues, experts think she needs a lot of help from psychologists.

Since she left jail, we don’t know where she is or what she’s doing. She might want to stay out of the public eye or get help for her mental health problems. So, it’s a bit of a mystery what she’s up to now.

Who is Samantha Azzopardi?

Samantha Azzopardi, an Australian woman born on August 21, 1988, is famous for pretending to be someone she’s not and doing tricky things. She got a reputation for being really good at lying and fooling people, not just regular people but even the police in Australia, Ireland, and Canada.

In her life of breaking the law, she used more than 75 different fake names. Sometimes she acted like a Russian gymnast, other times like a person who had been hurt by human trafficking, or even like royalty from Sweden. What’s strange is that she didn’t always do this to get money; it’s a bit puzzling why she did it.

She has a mental health problem called borderline personality disorder, and another condition called pseudologia fantastica, which means she lies a lot because she wants to make her childhood story sound happier than it really was. There’s a TV series called “Con Girl” that talks about her life and all the tricky things she did, and how it affected the people she fooled.

Samantha Azzopardi Parents

Samantha Azzopardi’s parents are Bruce Azzopardi and Joan Marie Campbell. They got divorced when Samantha was only 2 years old. She was born in a place called Campbelltown in Sydney in the year 1988.

At first, she lived with her mom until she turned 11, and then her dad got custody of her. She went to different schools as she moved around, and during this time, she started making up fake stories about herself.

We don’t know much else about her parents, except that her mom used to have a boyfriend from Ireland. This became important in Samantha’s life later when she went to Ireland, and all her lies started to come apart.

Is Samantha Azzopardi in Jail?

Samantha Azzopardi is in prison. They sent her to jail in May 2021 because she did many dishonest things and tricked a lot of people and even the authorities for a long time.

When she had her trial, some people were worried about her mental health, and a doctor said she could leave early if she agreed to get special treatment. But even though she spent more than a year and a half in jail before her trial, they said no to letting her out early because they thought she might do bad things again.

Her situation makes people wonder if jail is the right place for her, especially because she has a history of lying a lot because of a condition called pseudologia fantastica, which means she can’t stop making up stories that she believes are real.

The Madras High Court Advocates’ Association (MHAA) passed a resolution on September 26 condemning Lata Baswaraj Patne, Judicial Member and Head of the Department of Chennai bench of Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT), for having asked a senior member of the Bar R. Sankarasubbu to “get out” during the hearing of a case.

The resolution stated that the conduct of the judicial member was deplorable. Further observing that she had developed a deep seated prejudice and bias against Chennai lawyers ever since a case was filed in the High Court regarding delay in issuing order copies, another resolution said, her conduct does not inspire confidence in her impartiality.

The MHAA also resolved to send a representation to the chariman of CAT in New Delhi as well as the Centre requesting them to transfer Ms. Patne out of the Chennai bench immediately. The resolutions were signed by 230 lawyers after holding a general body meeting under the chairmanship of L. Chandrakumar who was also president of Service Bar Association.

Mr. Chandrakumar had recently filed a public interest litigation petition in the High Court complaining that order copies in about 150 cases were yet to be issued by the Chennai bench of CAT since an administrative member had retired from service, without signing them, after the pronouncement of the orders in open court by him as well as the judicial member between January and April this year.

Senior Counsel R. Vaigai represented the PIL petitioner before the first Division Bench of Chief Justice S.V. Gangapurwala and Justice P.D. Audikesavalu who had on September 7 asked Additional Solicitor General AR.L. Sundaresan to verify from the CAT Registry with respect to the manner in which the orders were pronounced.

Ever since the PIL was filed, Ms. Patne had begun to act indifferently towards the Bar members. On September 22, when Mr. Sankarasubbu urged her to list his case before some other bench, she asked him to “get out,” the MHAA complained and said, such conduct revealed total lack of judicial temper.",1

Supreme Court judge, Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul, on September 26 said in court that a three-judge Bench headed by him is scheduled to begin hearing review petitions against a July 2022 verdict, which gave virtually unbridled powers to the Enforcement Directorate to arrest and summon individuals and raid private property under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

The two Associate Judges on the Bench would be Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Bela M. Trivedi. The review hearings would start from October 18.

The review petitions have alleged that the apex court’s July 27, 2022 judgment has deprived an accused person her basic rights, which includes even a copy of the Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR).

The core amendments to which the judgment gave its stamp of approval had virtually transferred the burden of proof of innocence onto the shoulders of the accused instead of the prosecution.

The 545-page judgment, authored by Justice (now retired) A.M. Khanwilkar had upheld the PMLA’s controversial “twin conditions” for bail.

These conditions provided that a PMLA-designated trial court needs to give bail only if the accused proves she is not guilty of money laundering. And on the slim chance she does get bail, the accused has to also prove that she is “not likely to commit any offence while on bail”.

Herculean task

For an undertrial, who is under incarceration and with whom the ED has not shared the Enforcement Case Information Report, to prove that she is not guilty, to say the least, may prove to be a herculean, if not impossible, task, the review petitions argued.

“The apex court had called the PMLA a law against the “scourge of money laundering” and not a hatchet wielded against rival politicians and dissenters

“This is a sui generis [unique] legislation… The Parliament enacted the Act as a result of international commitment to sternly deal with the menace of money laundering of proceeds of crime having transnational consequences and on the financial systems of the countries,” the judgment had said.

The judgment was based on an extensive challenge raised against the amendments introduced to the 2002 Act by way of a Finance Act in 2019. Over 240 petitions were filed against the amendments which the challengers claimed to violate personal liberty, procedures of law and the constitutional mandate. Some of the petitioners included former ministers Mehbooba Mufti, Anil Deshmukh and Karti Chidambaram, who all claimed that the “process itself was the punishment”.",1

If proof was needed that reservation works for the  [...] Jaipur, Sep 23 (IANS) The Women’s Reservation Bill has been approved in both Houses of Parliament. If proof was needed that reservation works for the better of both, the women and their constituents, while creating a new leadership culture, Rajasthan provides many laudable examples.

Quota for women in panchayat and civic elections gave a new platform to candidates with no political background. It enabled them to take their first step in politics and establish themselves.

One such woman is Kavita Joshi who left her profession as a hardware engineer and became a Sarpanch.

In 2015, the Shobhagpura Panchayat seat was reserved for women and it became a rule that in order to contest elections the candidate had to have cleared eighth standard at least. Because of this rule, no one in the families already active in politics in the village could contest the elections.

In such a situation, the people of the village approached Kavita’s family and demanded that Kavita, who was pursuing her PhD after finishing her M.Tech, contest the elections, despite the fact that neither her in-laws nor anyone at her maternal home had anything to do with politics.

As per Kavita, “I was working as a hardware engineer and had no connection whatsoever with politics. But I decided to contest for the sake of the villagers. At the time of campaigning for the election I was nine months pregnant and I delivered just a day before voting day. However, I voted the next day.”

Kavita won and became the first woman Sarpanch of Shobhagpura village. The impact of Kavita’s work and her capabilities led the BJP to give her a senior leadership position. Today she is the district president of the Mahila Morcha of BJP Udaipur.

Another woman of note is Chhavi Rajawat from Jaipur, who is the country’s first MBA Sarpanch. Chhavi left her job in a multinational company and was recently invited by Amitabh Bachchan to participate in the game show KBC.

Chhavi, who is originally from Tonk, is one of the most popular women Sarpanches of the country today. Chhavi does not have a political background. Her grandfather retired from the Army and her family was involved in social service. She is an inspiration for women today but it was reservation that played the most important role in Chhavi reaching this position.

Chhavi says, “When the seat of Soda village of Tonk became reserved for women, the elders of the village decided that I should contest the elections as our family was involved in the development of the village from the beginning.”

“My grandfather Brigadier Raghuveer Singh retired from the Army in 1975. After retirement, he always remained associated with the development of the village. During holidays, I often went to the village with my family and became attached to the village and the people there. When the seat was reserved the villagers came to Jaipur and requested me to contest the elections. After this, when I met the people of the village, I felt that I was needed there. I also felt that a lot could be done there.”

Chhavi contested and won the Sarpanch election from Soda in 2010. The impact of Chhavi’s work in five years was such that despite getting the general seat in 2015, the people of the village expressed their desire for her to contest for the Sarpanch’s post again.

Chhavi contested the elections again in 2015 and won and remained the Sarpanch till 2020.

At the time when the elections took place, she was working in Airtel and was also running her own horse riding academy.

Chhavi says that she often tells the village elders that if the seat had not been reserved for women they would never have thought about her and they agree with that.

“In such a situation, it is clear that only because of reservation was I able to become Sarpanch and work for the village,” she says.

Another woman leader Sarita Gaina, a resident of Ajmer, too, belonged to a family with no political links before 2005. There was not even a ward councilor in the family. However, she came from a well-educated family. Today she is the state spokesperson of the BJP. Women’s reservation has played a big role in Sarita’s political journey.

Another leader, Vandana Nogia was doing M.Sc in Forensic Science when she decided to contest elections. She was only 23-years-old when the matter of contesting the election of Ward No. 32 came up. The family put Vandana forward and contested the elections. Vandana won and later went on to become a state Minister in the BJP government.

Uganta Sukaria, 26, is one of those women who want to achieve something by coming into politics. A resident of Dudu, she was preparing for the Constable Recruitment exam, while also helping her father in his Rajputi dress enterprise. Many girls and women of the village were associated with the family. Then suddenly, in the 2021 Panchayat elections, the seat of the head of her ward and village Mauzamabad became a reserved seat for women in the SC category.

Uganta says that at that time her BA finals were going on but the villagers asked her to contest the elections. The rest, as they say, is history.

Not only did she contest and win the ward elections she also fought on the reserved seat for the Pradhan’s post and became Pradhan at the age of 24.

Uganta says that she always wanted to enter politics but if the seat had not been reserved, she probably would not have been able to enter politics.

Public administration expert Professor SK Kataria says that in December 1992, the Center made a provision for women’s reservation in Panchayats in the 73rd Constitutional Amendment and for Municipalities in the 74th Amendment. As there was a constitutional amendment, half of the states approved it in 1993.

After this, the Panchayati Raj Act was enacted in Rajasthan in 1994. Whereas in November 1994, the Act made for municipalities was amended and implemented. For the first time in January 1995, reservation of 33 per cent was given to women in Panchayats.

Meanwhile, the tagline of ‘Sarpanch pati’ has also become famous, with the husbands of the elected representatives working behind the scene and enjoying immense clout.

One such sarpanch is Neeru Yadav whose husband Ashok Yadav, a government officer, is working behind the scene to cash in on the situation. He has been designing the marketing and PR services for Neeru and reportedly taking all decisions on her behalf, spending lakhs and crores on her PR with the aim to get her a BJP ticket.

Earlier, Ashok Yadav was suspended for many months allegedly on charges of corruption. “He has been spending crores on PR, marketing and the social media of his wife and is the key decision-maker for all her activities,” said a PR person adding, “All her campaigns and projects are being designed by Yadav.”

Neeru recently made news when she shared a photo and video with the ‘Ashok Stambh’placed on the back of her chair and ‘Sarpanch’ written below it. The national symbol can only be used by people holding constitutional posts.

Neeru was criticised on social media for this act and District Collector Dr. Khushal started an investigation into the matter. Later the Sarpanch removed the symbol.

Such “rubber stamp” Sarpanches defeat the very idea of reservation for women in Panchayats as their husbands rule from behind the scene”, said the PR manager who made Neeru famous as ‘hockey wale sarpanch’ and gave her the idea of bringing a ‘bartan bank’ in her village.

Reportedly, she was subjected to “torture and inhuman treatment” after purportedly failing to repay additional interest on a loan, amounting to Rs 1,500 which she had borrowed from a local strongman, the rights panel said in a statement.

New Delhi, Sep 26 (PTI) The NHRC has sent a notice to the Bihar government and the state’s police chief over reports that a woman, belonging to Scheduled Caste, was allegedly brutally assaulted, stripped and urinated upon in a village in Patna.

The Commission has observed that the contents of the media report, if true, amount to violation of the human rights of the victim woman.

The reported incident is indicative of the free will with which perpetrators acted without a fear of law, which is a matter of concern. Accordingly, it has issued notices to the chief secretary and the director general of police of Bihar, seeking a detailed report within four weeks, the statement said.

The report should also include the status of the FIR, physical as well as mental health status of the victim woman and compensation, if any, granted to her, it added.

The victim, reported to be from the Scheduled Caste community, is also eligible for the compensation in accordance with the provision of rules framed under the SC/ST (PoA) Act. The authorities are expected to explain in the report about the status of the installment of the compensation given to the victim.

The victim has passed through a trauma, hence, it is also expected from the state government to intimate whether any counselling has been provided to her, it said.

According to the media report, carried on September 25, the accused had approached the woman four days before the incident, coercing her to repay an additional amount as interest and the victim had reported the matter to the police.

The accused reportedly belong to a dominant caste, while there are only a few Scheduled Caste families residing in the village, who have stated that “they are in fear and are thinking of leaving the place for some days”, the statement said. PTI KND CK CK

Self-styled 'Lord' Hugh James Rodley, who bought his title at an auction in 1986, was initially jailed for eight years in 2009 for plotting to steal £229 million from Japan’s Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation. Then in 2012 Rodley, 67, from Gloucestershire, was handed a further seven-year sentence for conning 741 pensioners out of £6 million through a boiler room scam. City of London Police said Rodley, alongside others, had pressurised people into buying worthless shares in a string of clone companies. At Southwark Crown Court earlier this week, Rodley was given six months to hand over £1.2 million, which the National Crime Agency (NCA) and the City of London Police were able to identify as profits he made from both crimes. As a result of the order Rodley’s Gloucestershire manor house and his luxury cars have been taken. Andy Archibald, deputy director of the NCA cyber crime unit, said: ‘Rodley’s criminality funded a lavish lifestyle, but our investigations do not end when a criminal is put in jail. Money is at the heart of all organised crime and is the motivation for most criminals, so we are determined to take their profits off them. ‘The clock is ticking for Rodley to hand over the money he made from this enterprise. The price of not paying up in the next six months is another seven years in prison. The court also ordered Sonny Willis, Julian Silver and Adam Corbett to hand over assets totalling over £250,000 or face additional prison time. They were jailed alongside Rodley in 2012 for their involvement in the £6 million boiler room scam. All money recovered will go to Rodley’s victims.",1

The Aug. 29 indictment under the state’s racketeering law, also known as a RICO law, was released by Fulton County officials on Tuesday and was brought by Republican Attorney General Chris Carr. The “Stop Cop City” effort has gone on for more than two years and at times veered into vandalism and violence. Opponents say they fear the Atlanta-area training center will lead to greater militarization of the police and that its construction will exacerbate environmental damage in a poor, majority-Black area. The majority of those indicted were already facing charges stemming from their alleged involvement in the movement. More than three dozen people face domestic terrorism charges in connection to violent protests. Three leaders of a bail fund have been accused of money laundering. And three activists were charged with felony intimidation after authorities said they distributed flyers calling a state trooper a “murderer” for his involvement in the fatal shooting of an environmental protester in the woods. In linking the defendants to the alleged conspiracy, prosecutors have made a huge series of allegations. That includes everything from possessing fire accelerant and throwing Molotov cocktails at police officers, to being reimbursed for glue and food for the activists who spent months camping in the woods near the construction site. Activists leading an ongoing referendum effort against the project immediately condemned the charges, calling them “anti-democratic.” “Chris Carr may try to use his prosecutors and power to build his gubernatorial campaign and silence free speech, but his threats will not silence our commitment to standing up for our future, our community, and our city,” the Cop City Vote coalition said in a statement. Story continues Protests against the training center escalated after the fatal shooting in January of 26-year-old protester Manuel Esteban Paez Terán, known as Tortuguita. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has said state troopers fired in self-defense after Paez Terán shot at them while they cleared protesters from a wooded area near the site of the proposed facility. But the troopers involved weren’t wearing body cameras, and activists have questioned the official narrative. Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens and others say the 85-acre, $90 million facility would replace inadequate training facilities, and would help address difficulties in hiring and retaining police officers that worsened after nationwide protests against police brutality and racial injustice. The demonstrations erupted in the wake of the May 2020 police murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis and the June 2020 police killing of Rayshard Brooks in Atlanta. Those events preceded the public announcement of the proposed training center by months. Numerous instances of violence and vandalism have been linked to the decentralized “Stop Cop City” movement. A police car was set alight at a January protest in downtown Atlanta. In March, more than 150 masked protesters chased off police at the construction site and torched construction equipment before fleeing and blending in with a crowd at a nearby music festival. Those two instances have led to dozens of people being charged with domestic terrorism, though prosecutors have previously admitted they have had difficulty in proving that many of those arrested were in fact those who took part in the violence. RICO charges carry a heavy potential sentence that can be added on top of the penalty for the underlying acts. Georgia’s RICO Act, adopted in 1980, makes it a crime to participate in, acquire or maintain control of an “enterprise” through a “pattern of racketeering activity” or to conspire to do so. “Racketeering activity” means to commit, attempt to commit — or to solicit, coerce or intimidate someone else to commit — one of more than three dozen state crimes listed in the law. At least two such acts are required to meet the standard of a “pattern of racketeering activity,” meaning prosecutors have to prove that a person has engaged in two or more related criminal acts as part of their participation in an enterprise to be convicted under RICO. The case was initially assigned to Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee, the judge overseeing the racketeering case Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis recently brought against former President Donald Trump and 18 others. But McAfee recused himself, saying he had been working with prosecutors on the case prior to his judicial appointment. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Kimberly Esmond Adams is now overseeing the case. R.j. Rico, The Associated Press",1

Being a rich young man in urban Pakistan appears to be the very best situation to be born into. Pakistani society, particularly Pakistani public life, is made for men. Add wealth and means to it and you have constructed a life where you never have to say (or be) sorry and can buy anything you want. The rich boys of Islamabad or Karachi or Lahore roam the streets with their bevy of personal bodyguards, looking for the best party, the most fun crowd, the most beautiful girls, acting out the sort of entitlement that only the rich boys of Pakistan can have. Society enables these young men who have never heard ‘no’ for an answer; everyone from their servants to their own family panders to their every need, all the while enabling them in their toxic masculinity. It is a surprise therefore to see one of these rich boys being held accountable for his alleged misdeeds. Every bit of the trial of Zahir Jaffer, the rich boy accused of murdering Noor Mukaddam, will be watched keenly. Zahir Jaffer, the scion of the Jaffer family and its many millions, is accused of committing a heinous, gruesome crime and then calling his parents evidently to evade criminal charges. According to the prosecution, when the parents heard of the murder (they were not in Islamabad at the time) they did not call the police. Instead, they allegedly asked the staff of a rehabilitation centre called Therapy Works to go to their house and get the situation under control. When the staff arrived, the prosecution says, Zahir Jaffer attacked them while standing in a pool of Noor Mukaddam’s blood. Scores of people were supposedly present at the time, but it was ultimately a neighbour who called the police to tackle the situation. If he had not done so, it is very likely that this rich boy would have left the country and would never have had to account for his alleged crimes. Read: The roots of misogyny Accountability is such an anomaly in these cases that one cannot help but wonder if, despite the evidence against him and if proven guilty, the due punishment will be awarded, especially when others among the privileged have escaped it. It is important to remember that he could have very nearly escaped. It is not hard to imagine an alternative scenario where the body as well as other evidence could have been hidden, and the suspect, who is an American citizen, flown to the US. But even while one rich boy has been jailed for murder, many others roam free. One such case is reported to involve the domestic violence allegedly perpetrated by a scion of an influential Baloch family. According to Wishah Abubakar, she suffered at the hands of her former husband who she claims tortured her. She shared her ordeal via an Instagram video and also reportedly registered a case against him for uploading explicit videos and pictures on social media. There have been rumours of intimidatory tactics being used by Wishah’s husband, and there seems to have been little progress on that case; unless the authorities dig out and present the facts much will remain in the dark. Given a culture where the privileged and wealthy easily escape the law, it is a wonder that one belonging to this category is being held accountable for his deeds. These are just some examples that we know about. Such is the toxic masculinity of these rich boys that no one is safe from it. One instance I distinctly remember took place at a store that sells paan. A man was standing at the store purchasing some when a large SUV pulled up and stopped in front of the shop. In an instant, three armed guards emerged and went to the paan seller and told them what they wanted. The paan seller told them that it would take a minute to close another order and then he would tend to them. The rich boy at whose behest all this was being done was angered at having to wait even five seconds. At gunpoint, the guards forced the owner to complete their order first. The man had no option but to comply. The message was simple: the rich boys that go around with several armed guards do not take no for an answer from anyone, and making them wait even for the tiniest bit of time is tantamount to asking to be gunned down. I recount this incident here because I want to highlight the attitude and the arrogance of this particular category of people, whose grotesque reality has been created by Pakistani society. Money and patriarchal norms make for a deadly combination and yet we as a culture do not make an effort to criticise and stigmatise those who fit the description. Money seduces and charms, and attention from those who have it can mask the relative powerlessness of lesser people. By the time the mask comes off and the true horror is revealed, they have already caught their prey who has two options: relent and bow to their wishes or die. Noor Mukaddam’s case is important because it is probably the first time a rich boy, if convicted, might be forced to face the consequences of his criminal acts against a powerless victim. Naming, however, is the first step towards eliminating and understanding the ‘rich boy’ as a particular type. Armed guards, fancy cars, endless parades of servants, all mask a bewildering capacity for cruelty. In making ‘rich boy’ a derogatory term, society can rebel and begin to make wealth, arrogance and entitlement be seen as negative qualities that are worthy of derision. An ordinary person in Pakistan has very little recourse against the rich boys roaming the country, but society as a whole still has the power to condemn their hubris, their obstinate refusal to play by the rules. That is precisely what society must be made aware and what it should do.

The High Commission noted that the relationship between India and Maldives was based on mutual trust and respect. “Such irresponsible acts by motivated ‘mediapersons’ peddling agenda-driven fake reports need to be condemned in the strongest terms,” the Indian High Commission said. “We also call upon the Maldivian authorities to investigate such instances of fake news circulation which are being brazenly carried out in the name of journalism.” It is, however, not clear as to which “fake reports” the Indian High Commission is referring to. The statement by the Indian Embassy came a day after Maldivian Finance Minister Ibrahim Ameer denied reports claiming that he had met with the Indian High Commissioner in the Maldives to seek a loan of 3 billion Maldivian Rufiyaa (nearly Rs 1,620 crore) from New Delhi, according to Sun Online. Ameer categorically denied any such meeting or loan request made to India by the Maldivian government. Maldives is currently undergoing presidential elections. The first round of voting was held on September 9 and the second round is scheduled for September 30. Opposition parties in the Maldives have been critical of incumbent President Ibrahim Solih’s relationship with India. They have been running an “India Out” campaign since 2020 to target their government. In April 2022, such protests had been banned after they gained traction under the leadership of former President Abdulla Yameen. At that time, the protestors had alleged that the government had become “a puppet of New Delhi” and was allowing India to have a military presence in the island country. In 2018, the Maldives government had issued a clarification after media reports claimed that India was planning to offer it a loan of $1 billion in exchange for permanent deployment of Indian troops in the country. The reports had cited unidentified Indian officials saying that the loan was conditioned on Male distancing itself from China as well as on allowing India to deploy its security personnel to the island nation.

One look at the report reveals that an earlier lackadaisical Canadian response to Indian concerns over Khalistani activity led to the loss of over 300 lives in the bombing of AI flight 182 (Kanishka) among them ironically most were Canadian citizens (268) though the majority of them were of Indian-origin. It was in 1982 that then PM Indira Gandhi had sought the extradition of Talwinder Singh Parmar but Justin Trudeau’s father Pierre, who was the then Prime Minister, rejected the request. A public apology by Justin Trudeau’s successor Stephen Harper brought home the fact that it was Ottawa’s negligence that led to the death of over 300 people. Three years after the warning, then head of Babbar Khalsa International, Parmar allegedly masterminded the bombing of Kanishka. The subsequent investigation by Canada dragged on for over 15 years and it was only in 2000 that the Canadian police arrested two Sikh terrorists based in Canada. Another suspect who was subsequently arrested was released on bail after just a day. The two arrested men — Ripudaman Malik and Ajaib Singh Bagri — were remanded in judicial custody while Parmar and Inderjit Singh Reyat were declared as co-conspirators. Parmar was shot dead by the Punjab Police in 1992, while Reyat was sentenced to a 10-year jail stint for manufacturing the bombs. HISTORY AND TOLL On June 23, 1985, the Air India Boeing 747, named after the Kushan dynasty emperor Kanishka, took off from Toronto for a journey that was scheduled to include stops at Montreal’s Mirabel airport, London’s Heathrow, Delhi’s Palam and Bombay’s Sahar. After the flight number 182 arrived in Montreal, more passengers boarded to make for full complement of 329, including 22 crew members. The plane departed for England for the next leg. It made contact with the Shannon Air Traffic Control Center, but five minutes later, vanished off the radar screen. A bomb, sent via Vancouver, placed in cargo had exploded. Remnants of the plane were found off the Irish coast. There were no survivors. It has been attributed mainly to the terrorist outfit Babbar Khalsa, while the Canadian Commission of Inquiry also mentioned the International Sikh Youth Federation. Approximately 20 families were “completely wiped out”, 32 persons lost their spouses and children, seven couples lost their children and two children around the age of 10 lost their parents.Of the victims, 268 were Canadian citizens, mostly of Indian origin and another 24 Indians. Some victim’s families states that this bombing, per capita took a greater human toll in Canada than 9/11 in the United States. John Major, then a lawyer with a practice in Calgary, once said that he could “vividly remember” hearing a news report about the bombing on his car radio. “The way it was described by the announcer, I wasn’t even sure that it took off from Canada,” Major said. For over 15 years, the Canadian government was busy brushing the issue under the rug, pretending it was someone else’s problem, adding to the many woes of the many victims’ families and friends who sought justice. INVESTIGATION FINDINGS According to the first volume of the Major Commission’s report, the Royal Canada Mounted Police (RCMP) had learned from “two independent sources” about a plot to bomb two Air India flights. The report identifies them as Person 1 and Person. “In 1984, these two individuals, who had known each other since 1977, moved in shadowy circles in the Vancouver area. They both had extensive connections to a web of criminal activity within, and extending beyond, the BC region.” Person 1 would later tell the inquiry of his dubious past, with a criminal record dating back to 1956 and approximately 16 convictions including theft, break and enter, armed robbery, and false pretences. For the past 15 years, however, he has had no criminal charges or convictions. On June 23, 1985, when Constable Rick Crook of the Vancouver Police Department (VPD) learned of the fate of Air India Flight 182 and another explosion in Japan’s Narita. “The fact that there had been two bombs, that the origin of the plot appeared to be out of Vancouver, and that there was thought to have been a connection to Sikh extremism led Crook to suspect that the plot he had learned about in 1984 was, in fact, related to the plot that had been carried out that day.” POINTS OF NOTE Notably, Person 1 and Person 2 had, at separate occasions informed the RCMP of crime in the Vancouver area as well as their connections to several Sikh figures with ties to Khalistani extremist outfits. Even after the Air India bombing, there was significant resistance and delay at E Division NCIS about a follow-up investigation of the November Plot and continuing skepticism about any possible connection between the November 1984 Plot and the bombing. Despite repeated requests by Headquarters that it be updated on the state of the investigation,79 it was not until nine months after the bombing that E Division took steps to pursue the issue seriously. Early in 1986, as part of a Headquarters review of the November Plot tip, the significance of the fact that two independent sources had come forward with the same information was finally recognised.",1

Limited market puts the squeeze on advertising-based mass media, forcing a race to the bottom for eyeballs Mongolia’s media market is limited by its 3.3 million population, more than half of which is concentrated in Ulaanbaatar. This relatively small addressable market is challenging for mass advertising-based models whose success depends on reach. The limited market size is also compounded by the sheer number of media companies competing for fragments of the audience. In a 2019 research by Press Institute of Mongolia, there were a total of 502 media outlets: 84 newspapers, 51 radio stations, 140 TV stations and 154 internet news portals. On a simple average, that means one media company for 6,800 people — far too small for a successful media company based primarily on advertising. (Note: Many of these companies exist for political or business interests and aren’t meant to be viable companies — a point we’ll cover in the next sections.) Mongolia enjoys a 62.5% internet penetration, according to the International Telecommunication Union. The online media market is overwhelmingly dominated by Facebook with a near 80% reach. Facebook Messenger and Instagram are also widely used as a result. This is a challenge for media companies — to reach an online audience, you invariably need to win on the Facebook platforms through building massive Likes and other engagement. On the flip side, Facebook’s dominance provides a rich dataset for specific content targeting. Implications To maximize reach, these companies will be forced to live off low quality viral content, especially in the entertainment category. News remains a second-class citizen on that journey given its relatively low reach for advertisers. The inevitable arrival of programmatic advertising on digital platforms will further drive the creation of more low-quality content. Programmatic advertising, which is driven by bots, will require publishers to ensure more clicks to pages — more page views literally means more revenue. This was the basis of the click-baity business model of companies such as BuzzFeed, Upworthy, Mashable, and VICE. Opportunities The undifferentiated supply of media content suggests there’s plenty of room for emerging startups and relevant products to stand out, especially at the intersection of the creator economy and media, as we’ve seen in other countries. In the case of Anu Harchu, an influential YouTube and Instagram creator who focuses on personal finance, health, beauty, sustainability, and bullet journaling, she was able to quickly respond to gaps in the market to create user-focused content around recovering from Covid-19. She also studied and tested strategies on tools, workflows, audience feedback, and analytics to build her relevance to audiences on multiple social platforms — rare in the media space, even though it’s table stakes in a digital economy. There is an opportunity for her — or other startups — to build a consolidated service for creators around talent management, marketing, pipeline management, sponsorships, and marketplaces for talent. 2. Consolidation in broadcast will raise the quality of video content, but further entrench the biggest TV companies The Broadcast Act, in effect since July 2020, is meant to limit the ownership of free-to-air TV and radio services. The ownership requirements under the law has forced a consolidation of players, although it’s not exactly clear how much political interests remain. The law also seeks to raise the level of broadcast content by ensuring funding for Mongolian heritage content, which should raise the standard on programming. However, the law also creates a higher barrier to entry for new entrants, especially when it comes to internet-delivered content. Implications The Broadcast Act will also have implications for the telecom sector. As IP-based broadcasts become mainstream, telcos would either collaborate with or acquire media companies for their content, as we’ve seen in the U.S.: Verizon’s acquisition of Yahoo, AOL, Huffington Post. This would further entrench media in the hands of a select group of companies and their business interests. The move to standardized broadcast metrics and ratings in 2023 will also be one to watch as a positive indicator. With a clear set of metrics, advertisers would be able to buy campaigns across networks, while networks would be in a better position to bargain for better rates. This will create a more professional media and advertising industry. At the same time, this could also drive the consolidation of broadcasters into the hands of a small group of investors. According to Gankhuyag Bat-Erdene of Mongol TV, who expects about 10 mass broadcasters to emerge in the end from about 18 currently. The consolidation would be positive in driving change, but at the same time, may handicap small publishers such as newspapers or digital startups who aren’t covered by standardized metrics. 3. Credibility of journalists and media organizations will continue to slide The low credibility of journalists and the work of journalism was a common refrain in our conversations. “Nobody really sees media as a business,” said Gankhuyag Bat-Erdene of Mongol TV. This view stems from the ownership of the newsrooms by politicians or businesses — that journalists represent vested interests and lack independence in their reporting. Media companies are run as marketing companies instead of viable businesses, reducing any incentive for transformation. Plagiarism is also rife in the industry, noted Erdenechimeg at Gogo. Journalism is also considered a relatively poor cousin when compared with adjacent fields of marketing and public relations. Entry-level journalists make about US$350 a month, half of what their marketing peers make. Many aren’t paid on time, if at all. This state of affairs leaves journalists particularly vulnerable to conflicts of interests, or potential corruption. The sad state of funding also reflects the weak development of talent. Newsrooms generally don’t have budgets set aside for training or prioritize the development of their staff. “Free” courses are however available from businesses (eg. banks running courses on financial reporting) or government ministries. Neither are ideal in the growth and credibility of independent media. The view from the freelance industry is similarly bleak, if not worse, according to Anand Tumurtogoo, a freelance journalist who writes for international media. According to him, local freelance work is scarce, and is “not seen as professional.” 4. An over-dependence on ad revenue and NGO funding limits opportunities for growth and the creation of deep relationships with consumers Mongolia’s media industry remains overdependent on traditional advertising at a time of new options afforded by a shift to digital. As we note above, the mass advertising market is too small, given Mongolia’s population. In our conversations with newsroom managers, we also noted a lack of incentive and motivation to move beyond advertising models, or to test new products that could lead to new revenue streams. The embrace of traditional advertising also meant a lack of research into audience behavior — who’s watching what? How do people use media? What do people want? This gap in audience knowledge was also seen at digital-first startups such as the advertising-based Ikon News which described its readership merely as “educated people”. We’re also concerned about an increasing reliance on grant-funded NGO campaigns around issues such as health and the environment. We saw this at startups such as Eguur, Gogo, as well as Ikon. These campaigns tend to be supply-led, ie. the funding of content production to address specific issues, but never connecting with actual demand for such content, or even to ask what consumers are meant to do with such content. How can they act on it? There are also deeper questions here about the viability of such projects since they’re typically short-term and do little to support the building of actual media businesses. This is a subject that requires further research. 5. Current journalism education isn’t preparing people for future digital jobs Most of our respondents were critical of the current content and structure of formal journalism training in Mongolia as being out of touch with what the industry needs. ""I'm not sure what universities are teaching students right now,” said Oyuntsetseg Rinchinbat at Ikon News, who would like to see data journalism being taught. Iderjargal Dashdondog, a journalism lecturer at National University of Mongolia, too believes that data skills also need to be taught as it’s important to be able to make sense of state data. She’s tried unsuccessfully — twice — to introduce a data journalism course at her School of Social Studies. A consistent view was that journalism school students don't see what opportunities are out there for them because these are often framed by how traditional legacy media has worked, with antiquated production structures, distribution processes, and organisational hierarchies. Another contributing factor is that reaccreditation at the National University of Mongolia is done every five years — far too long, given how rapidly changes in the media and technology industries happen. This puts any product of formal journalism education decidedly out of touch with where media is headed. Much of this stems from a very limited definition of what media is. Mongolian State University, for example, teaches newspaper writing and broadcast, with no connection to social videos or podcasts. What also emerged was the need for students to receive training in media management, data journalism, and content production training. Anu Harchu, a YouTuber who worked at Bloomberg for eight years, said that media organisations are getting into ""Buzzfeed-like content"" and that there is a demand for production and video-editing talent. “The ecosystem is growing but needs better organisation.” The need for practical training was also highlighted by Munkhmandakh Myagmar, the executive director of the Press Institute since 2002, which has run a number of workshops and training programs over the years. “Journalism training can be very academic and theoretical; I think it should be practical.” She said that training was necessary for business and management training at an executive level — “something that donors don't understand”. Early media entrepreneurs tend to give up after about two years because they don’t have adequate business skills. She believes there’s a need for training and research around sustainable media businesses.",1

 The post  Cross-LoC Arms Supply Racket: One LeT Terrorist, Two Women, Juvenile Among 5 Terror Associates Arrested In Baramulla: Police  appeared first on  Jammu Kashmir Latest News | Tourism | Breaking News J&K . Baramulla, Sep 26: Jammu and Kashmir police Wednesday claimed to have arrested one Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorist and five terror associates including two women. One among the arrested persons includes a juvenile as well.

Addressing a press conference at Baramulla, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Barmulla Amog Nagpure said that on police have arrested active LeT terrorist and five terrorist associates in Baramulla and recovered huge quantity of arms and ammunition including grenades and pistols from them

“The process of arrests started after two suspects were detained on September in Uri. The five terror associates arrested include two women and a juvenile as well,” he said.

The SSP said that on September 21, Police in Baramulla through reliable sources came to know that one individual namely Yaseen Ahmad Shah son of Tariq Ahmad resident of Janbazpora Baramulla is missing from his home and has joined proscribed terror outfit LeT/ TRF. “Accordingly, a case under relevant sections of law was registered in Police Station Baramulla and investigation was taken up. On receipt of this information, based on human/technical intelligence, a joint team of Baramulla Police, Army & CAPF during MVCP checking at Tapper Pattan apprehended the said terrorist on 22/09/2023,” he said, adding that incriminating materials, arms and ammunition including 1 Pistol, 1 Pistol Magazine and 8 live rounds were recovered from his possession.

“During questioning, he disclosed the name of his other associate as his associate Parvaiz Ahmad Shah son of Ali Mohd resident of Takiya Wagoora. Accordingly, joint parties of Baramulla Police, Army & CAPF raided his residence and subsequently arrested him. Upon his disclosure, 2 Hand Grenades were also recovered from his possession,” the SSP said, adding that “ On 23/09/2023, during the further course of interrogation of terrorist Mohd Yaseen Shah and on his disclosure, 1 Pistol, 1 Pistol Magazine & 8 live rounds were also recovered from his house at Janbazpora.”

The SSP further said that he disclosed the names of his associates as Nigeena W/O Manzoor Ahmad Lone R/O Vijipora Hajin & Aafreena alias Aayat D/O Gulzar Ahmad Ganie R/O Patpora Shalteng Srinagar and upon their disclosure two hand grenades were recovered from their possession. “On 25/09/2023, during questioning of terrorists Yaseen Ahmad Shah & Parvaiz Ahmad Shah they disclosed the names of two more associates as Mudasir Ahmad Rather S/O Gh Mohiuddin Rather R/O Takiya Wagoora & Showkat Ahmad Malik S/O Habibullah Malik R/O Wagila Wagoora and upon their disclosure 1 Chinese Grenade, 1 Pistol, 1 Pistol Magazines & 8 live rounds were recovered respectively from their possession. Investigation has revealed that this terrorist along with his 5 associates were operating on the directions from Pakistan based handlers and were planning to recruit more terrorists and carry out terrorist activities in Baramulla and nearby areas,” he said, adding that the case under sections of UA (P) & Arms Act stands registered in Police Station Baramulla and investigation is going on.

Earlier, on September 14, police during a joint naka checking at Paranpeelan Bridge Uri noticed two suspected persons who were coming from Dachi towards Paranpeelan Bridge and tried to flee while noticing the naka party but were apprehended tactfully.

“During their personal search 2 Glock Pistols, 4 Pistol Magazines, 2 Pistol Silencers, 5 Chinese grenades and 29 live Pistol rounds from them and were taken into custody immediately who were later on identified as Zaid Hassan Malla son of Ghulam Hassan Malla resident of Mir sahib Baramulla and Muhammad Arif Channa son of Nazir Ahmad Channa resident of Stadium Colony Baramulla,” the SSP said, adding that it is pertinent to mention here that they were involved in cross border smuggling of arms and ammunition at the behest of Pakistan based terror handlers and its further distribution to LeT terrorists for carrying out terror activities.

“Case under Indian Arms Act & UA (P) Act was registered in Police Station Uri and investigations was taken up. During the course of investigation they disclosed the name of their associate as Aftaar Ahmad Lohar S/O Mohd Maqbool Lohar R/O Surankote Poonch and was subsequently arrested in the instant case,” he said.

Asked whether involvement of females and juveniles in terror networks was a challenge, the SSP said that it wasn’t for the first time as earlier many females and juveniles were arrested for terror links. “In this case, we have observed an arms supply racket runs from Kashmir to Poonch. We are tracking links and routes used for supplying arms. More arrests are likely to be made. These attempts are being made to destabilise peace in the region,” he said, adding that the juvenile arrested will be tried in the Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) under Juvenile Justice Act (JJA).

What César really wanted was to get out of Cuba. A bartender struggling to make ends meet in Havana, he tried last year to reach Miami in a rickety boat but was forced to abandon the attempt when he was intercepted by the U.S. Coast Guard. He’s now preparing a second escape attempt: with a direct flight to Moscow. His ticket has been paid for by a Russian recruiter but it comes with a hefty price tag nonetheless: As part of the deal, he will have to join the Russian army and fight in Ukraine. “If this is the sacrifice I have to make for my family to get ahead, I’ll do it,” said César, who turned 19 this year and whose name has been changed to protect his identity. “You can be a nuclear physicist and still die of hunger here,” he said. “With my current salary I can barely buy basic things like toilet paper or milk.” He said he hoped he would be allowed to work as a paramedic. The news of Cuban fighters in Ukraine splashed across global headlines earlier this month when Havana announced it had arrested 17 people for involvement in a human trafficking ring recruiting young men to fight for Russia. The news raised questions about the extent of cooperation between the two Cold War allies, and whether cracks were beginning to show in Havana’s support for Russia’s invasion. Conversations with Cubans in Cuba and Russia reveal a different side of the story: of desperate young men who see enlistment in the Russian army as their best shot at a better life — even if not all of them seem to know what they were getting themselves into. One recruit in his late 40s in the Russian city of Tula, whom we will call Pedro, said he was promised a job as a driver “for workers and construction material” but on arrival in Russia was being prepared for combat, weapon in hand. “We signed a contract with the devil,” he said, recalling the moment he enlisted. “And the devil does not hand out sweets.” Cold-war allies Until recently, Havana — though formally neutral on Ukraine — made no secret of siding with Moscow in what it called its clash with the “Yankee empire.” The Castro regime is dependent on Russia for cheap fuel and other aid. But unlike, say, North Korea, it has little to offer in return other than diplomatic loyalty. Since the Kremlin launched its full-scale assault last year, the countries have exchanged visits by top brass. Critics have warned that, keeping with Soviet tradition, Cuba could send troops to help fight Moscow’s cause. They point to a May visit to Belarus by Cuba’s military attaché, where the “training of Cuban military personnel” was top of the agenda, and a trip to Moscow by Cuba’s defense minister several weeks later to discuss “a number of technical military projects.” But there has been no evidence of direct involvement. Havana’s crackdown on the recruitment network followed the publication of an interview on YouTube in late August, in which two 19-year-old Cubans claimed they had been lured to Russia for lucrative construction jobs, only to be sent to the trenches in Ukraine. They said they had suffered beatings, been scammed out of their money and were being kept captive. Cuba’s foreign ministry vowed to act “energetically” against efforts to entice Cubans to join Russia’s war effort, adding: “Cuba is not part of the conflict in Ukraine.” The change in tone in Havana suggests that the recruitment of Cubans through informal backchannels has “hit a nerve,” said Christopher Sabatini, a senior fellow for Latin America at Chatham House. “Cuba and the Soviet Union fought side by side in Angola and other places, but for ideological reasons,” he said. “Now it’s boiled down to the ugliest, most mercenary terms, giving it a transactional quality that goes against decades of friendship.” In November 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree offering fast-tracked naturalization to foreigners who signed up as contract soldiers. “We are all getting Russian citizenship,” one recruit texted this reporter. That week, he and others told POLITICO, some 15 recruits, some of whom had been in Russia for only a couple of months, had been personally handed their passports by the local governor. With heavy losses in Ukraine, Russia “needs the cannon fodder,” said Pavel Luzin, a senior fellow at the Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA). He added most foreign recruits come from Central Asian and African countries, Syria and Afghanistan. It is unclear exactly how many foreign citizens have joined Russia’s ranks. But Luzin says their limited numbers mainly serve to boost Russia’s narrative that it has international support for its war. “Without speaking the language, knowing the local terrain, or the right training for modern warfare, they’ll be swiftly killed and that’s it,” he said. Joining the 106th For most of the Cubans with whom POLITICO spoke, their involvement with the Russian army began in late 2022, when somebody using the name Elena Shuvalova began posting on social media pages targeting Cubans looking to go abroad or already in Russia. One post showed a woman in a long skirt in front of a car decorated with a Cuban flag and a “Z,” Russia’s pro-war symbol. In the accompanying text, Shuvalova offered a one-year contract with the Russian army, “help” with the required language exams and medical tests, and “express legalization within two days.” Pay consisted of a one-off handout of 195,000 rubles (about $2,000) followed by a monthly salary of 204,000 rubles ($2,100). By comparison, Cuba’s average GDP per capita in 2020 was $9,500 per year. Of the four recruits currently in Russia who shared their stories with POLITICO, three said they had been flown in from Cuba this summer. At home, they worked in hospitality, teaching and construction. One said he had a professional military background. Two others had completed two years of standard compulsory military service. While they knew they would be employed by Russia’s military, they were reassured that they would be working far from the front line as drivers or construction workers. “To dig fortifications or help rebuild cities,” one recruit’s exasperated wife told POLITICO. Because they could face charges of joining a mercenary group in Cuba or of treason or espionage in Russia for talking to a reporter, POLITICO changed the names of the recruits quoted in this story. Each of them said they were flown in from Varadero along with several dozen other men. They said their passports were not stamped on departure, and that upon entering Russia their migration cards were marked “tourism” as their purpose of stay. On landing at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport, the recruits were met by a woman who introduced herself as Diana, who said she was a Cuban with Russian ties. They were then loaded onto a bus and brought to what one recruit described as “an empty school building” near Ryazan, a city in western Russia 200 kilometers southeast of Moscow. There, they underwent a cursory medical check and were subject to a mountain of red tape, including the signing of a contract with the Russian defense ministry. One recruit said a Spanish version of the text was made available to those who specifically requested it, but others said that a translator simply summarized its content verbally. The recruits said that some of the new arrivals remained behind at a military unit in Ryazan. But most were transferred to the 106th Guards Airborne, a division based in the city of Tula near Moscow that has been deployed into some of the fiercest fighting in Ukraine. On landing at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport, the recruits were met by a woman who introduced herself as Diana, who said she was a Cuban with Russian ties | Kirill Kudryavtsev/AFP via Getty Images Kyiv claims the 106th was largely “reduced to fertilizer” in the early days of the invasion when it tried to capture Kyiv. In recent months, it has been stationed around Soledar and Bakhmut, hotspots in eastern Ukraine. “When they handed us the uniform and told us to go train I realized this was not about construction at all,” one recruit said. By then, however, he was locked in. A legal adviser who is well-known within Russia’s Cuban community told POLITICO he has delivered the same tough message to scores of Cuban recruits who have appealed to him for help: “Once you’ve signed the contract, defecting is tantamount to treason.” When POLITICO spoke to Pedro in Tula, he said he felt trapped by his decision. “I came here to give my children a better life, not to kill,” he said, breaking down into tears. “I won’t fire a single bullet.” He added he had considered trying to escape. “But where do I go?” Willing participants POLITICO could not determine whether Shuvalova or Diana were working for Russian or Cuban authorities. Neither woman responded to requests for comment — though Shuvalova told journalists at the Russian-language Moscow Times that she worked pro-bono. While the Cuban Embassy in Moscow did not respond to multiple requests for comment, the government itself has sent mixed messages. Shortly after Cuba’s announcement that it had broken up the human trafficking ring, Havana’s ambassador to Moscow told the state-run RIA agency that “we have nothing against Cubans who just want to sign a contract and legally take part in this operation.” Russia’s defense ministry did not respond to a request for comment. It’s not easy to tell just how many Cuban citizens have joined the Russian military. In conversations with POLITICO, the recruits said roughly 140 Cubans were currently in Tula. And a caller to a Miami-based Spanish-language television channel in early September said that he had some 90 Cubans under his command in Ryazan. A trove of 198 hacked documents, allegedly belonging to recent Cuban recruits and published online by the Ukrainian website Informnapalm, showed the ages of those who joined the Russian army ranged between 19 to 69 years old. More than 50 of the passports were issued in June and July this year. Not all Cubans POLITICO spoke to said they had been tricked into joining the war. In photos shared online and in messenger apps, many pose proudly in military gear, some carrying weapons. “No one put a gun to their heads,” Yoenni Vega Gonzalez, 36, a Cuban migrant in Russia, said of his acquaintances in Ukraine. “The contract makes it clear that you’re going to war, not to play ball or camping.” He said he had been refused the opportunity to join because he does not speak Russian. “Otherwise, I would have gone [to the front] with pride and my head held high.” During the reporting of this article, several Cubans still on the island reached out saying they wanted to enlist. All cited economic, and not political, reasons as their core motivation. Accounts of daily life behind the fences of the training sites differed greatly. Some recruits described their interaction with the Russians as friendly and the atmosphere as relaxed. In their free time they smoked cigarettes and sipped on Coca-Cola (officially not available in either Cuba or Russia). On the weekends they went sightseeing and reveled in the city’s bars. But those who say they were tricked into service, seemingly a minority, complain about payment delays and said they are threatened with incarceration for resisting orders. When asked about the moral implications of his decision, one recruit in Tula said it wasn’t his primary concern. “This is the way we found to get out of Cuba,” he said. “No one here wants to kill anyone. But neither do we want to die ourselves.”",1

Vs CIT (Supreme Court of India) Sub- What is the meaning of management and control for the purpose of determining residency of a company? Whether simply registered office of a company can be the criterion ? The Supreme Court in this case was considering interesting question as to taxability of alleged commission earned prior to the year 1990(whereafter the Income-tax Act,1961 was amended and income earned in Sikkim became taxable under the Act subject to certain exemptions) which was shown to have been earned in Sikkim and thus taxable as per Sikkim Mannual 1948, as against department’s contention that the income was earned in India as the management and control of the company was situated in Delhi at the office of a Chartered accountant from where the Company was functioning. The department relied on the voluminous evidence collected during search at the office of Chartered Accountant where the rubber stamp, blank signed cheques , books of accounts , statutory registers etc were found. ‘Control and management’ signifies, in the present context, the controlling and directive power, ‘the head and brain’ as it is sometimes called, and ‘situated’ implies the functioning of such power at a particular place with some degree of permanence, while ‘wholly’ would seem to recognise the possibility of the seat of such power being divided between two distinct and separated places. Control and management is where the head and seat and directing power of the affairs of the company and the control and management is must be shown is not merely theoretical control and power, i.e., not de jure control and power, but de facto control and power actually exercised in the course of the conduct and management of the affairs of the firm; that the domicile or the registration of the company is not at all relevant and the determinate test is where the sole right to manage and control of the company lies. The Supreme Court brushed aside the arguments of Senior Advocate Arvind Dattar including those on territorial jurisdiction of Delhi AO to issue the notice by holding that the management and control of the Company was situated at the office of the Chartered accountant and thus the commission was taxable in India and not in Sikkim. The court also upheld the argument of department that following Sun Engineering’s case (1992) 4 SCC 363(SC) where it was held that the escaped income includes both under assessment and non assessment. In view of the above and for the reasons stated above and the findings recorded by the AO, CIT(A), confirmed by the High Court, it cannot be said that the High Court has committed any error in upsetting the findings recorded by the ITAT. We are in complete agreement with the view taken by the AO, CIT(A) and the High Court on all issues including the issue of control and management of the affairs of the assessee companies by Rattan Gupta from Delhi; jurisdiction of the AO at New Delhi; applicability of the Income Tax Act, 1961; that the assessees did not prove that the income was earned by way of commission in Sikkim and therefore the tax was not liable to be paid under the Income Tax Act, 1961 and was liable to be paid under the Sikkim Manual, 1948. We are also in agreement with the view taken by the High Court on levy of interest in view of the binding decision of the Constitution Bench in the case of Anjum M.H. Ghaswala (supra), which has been subsequently followed in the case of Karanvir Singh Gossal (supra). This judgement of other academic in nature but will be important from the following angles:- 1. Determination of the residence of a Company based on the test of situation of control and management of a company. 2. Jurisdiction to issue notice u/s 148 of the Income-tax Act, 1961 3. The functions that a Professional is expected to perform in discharge of his professional services. Once documents were seized and statements were recorded from various persons, the burden gets shifted to the assessees to produce some evidence to counter the picture and, the court found that its extremely unusual that the seals and the signed blank cheques would be lying with the Chartered Accountant. FULL TEXT OF THE SUPREME COURT JUDGMENT/ORDER 1. Feeling aggrieved and dissatisfied with the impugned common judgment and order dated 22.02.2016 passed by the High Court of Delhi at New Delhi in Income Tax Appeal Nos. 162/2002, 164/2002, 165/2002, 167/2002 & 168/2002, by which the High Court has allowed the said appeals preferred by the Revenue and has quashed and set aside the common order dated 08th January, 2002 passed by the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, New Delhi (for short, ‘ITAT’) for Assessment Years 1987-88, 1988-89 and 1989-90 and restored the orders passed by the Assessing Officer, upheld by the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) (for short, ‘CIT(A)), the respective assessees have preferred the present appeals. Facts : 2. The facts leading to the present appeals in nutshell are as under: The respective assessees, namely, Mansarovar Commercial Private Limited, Sovereign Commercial Private Limited, Swastik Commercial Private Limited, Trishul Commercial Private Limited and Pasupati Nath Commercial Private Limited were incorporated under the Registration of Companies (Sikkim) Act, 1961. Each of the assessee companies claim to be carrying on the business of commercial agents in cardamon and other agricultural products. 2.1 Sikkim became part of India in April, 1975. The Constitution (Thirty Sixth Amendment) Act, 1975 inserted Article 371-F into the Constitution of India, in terms of which not all the laws of India were extended to the new State of Sikkim. Under Article 371-F (k) all laws in force immediately before the appointed day, i.e., 26th April, 1975, in the territories comprising the State of Sikkim or any part thereof were to continue to be in force therein until amended or repealed by a competent legislature or other competent authority. The Income Tax Act, 1961 (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Act’) was not made straightway applicable to the State of Sikkim. Till such extension of the Act to Sikkim by a notification issued under Article 371-F(n), income tax was to be charged and collected under the Sikkim State Income-tax Manual, 1948 (for short, ‘Sikkim Manual, 1948’). The recovery of tax was under the scheme of the Sikkim (Collection of Taxes and Prevention of Evasion of Payment of Taxes) Act, 1987. 2.2 By a notification No. S.O. 1028E dated 7th November, 1988 issued under Article 371-F(n) of the Constitution, the Act, the Wealth Tax Act, 1957 and the Gift Tax Act, 1958 were extended to the State of Sikkim. In terms of para 2 of the said notification, the Central Government appointed, by Notification S.O. 148E dated 23rd February, 1989, the 1st of April, 1989 as the date on which the Act would come into force in the State of Sikkim in relation to the previous year relevant to the Assessment Year commencing on the 1st day of April, 1989. However subsequently, by virtue of Section 26 of the Finance Act, 1989 the Act was made applicable to the State of Sikkim from the previous year relevant to the Assessment Year commencing from 1st April, 1990, thereby extending the date of applicability of the Act by one year from the date specified in the notification dated 23rd February, 1989. 2.3 The case of the assessees was that each of them was a resident of Sikkim, carrying on business in Sikkim and not elsewhere and that till 31st March, 1990, each of them were governed by the Sikkim Manual, 1948 and not the Act. Therefore, the stand of the assessees was that the income earned by them till that date was income earned in Sikkim from the business conducted/done in Sikkim. On the other hand, the case of the Revenue was that the control and management of each of the assessee companies was wholly with their auditor, M/s Rattan Gupta & Co., Chartered Accountants, who had their offices in Karol Bagh, New Delhi and therefore, were companies’ resident in India in terms of Section 6(3) of the Act. 2.4 A search was conducted on 15th March, 1990 at the premises of M/s Rattan Gupta & Co., Chartered Accountant at Daryaganj, New Delhi and during the course of the search, books of account, cheque books, signed blank cheques, vouchers and other income documents of the assessees were found. The statements of the partners, former and current, of M/s Rattan Gupta & Co., CA were recorded. 2.5 On 10th July, 1990, following the search conducted on 15th March, 1990 at the premises of M/s Rattan Gupta & Co., CA at Daryaganj, New Delhi, notices were issued by the Assistant Commissioner of Income Tax (for short, ‘ACIT’) (Investigation), Circle 7(1), New Delhi to each of the assessees under Section 148 of the Act, in respect of Assessment Years 1987-88, 1988-89 and 1989-90 (Assessment Years under consideration). An order was passed on 12th July, 1990 by ACIT (Investigation), Circle 13(1), New Delhi in respect of M/s Rattan Gupta & Co. under section 132(5) of the Act. It appears that the said Rattan Gupta informed the assessees about notices under section 148 of the Act issued to each of them at the address of M/s Rattan Gupta & Co. at Daryaganj, New Delhi and affixed at the said premises of M/s Rattan Gupta & Co. 2.6 Meanwhile, each of the assessees filed return of income in terms of the Sikkim Manual, 1948 for the Assessment Years in question on 27th April, 1990. A demand notice was issued to each of them in respect thereof on 23rd July, 1990. 2.7 The respective assessees filed writ petitions in the High Court of Sikkim, challenging the notices issued under section 148 of the Act. The Sikkim High Court initially passed an interim order staying further proceedings. The said interim order was modified in terms of which the Department was permitted to continue with its enquiry and seek facts and information from the Directors of the assessee companies. The assessee companies were required to furnish the necessary information and also to file returns and produce the books of accounts before the Assessing Officer, New Delhi in compliance of the notices under section 148 of the Act. Thereafter, the Sikkim High Court dismissed the writ petitions holding that it had no jurisdiction to entertain the said writ petitions since no part of the cause of action had arisen in the State of Sikkim. It was observed that as the notices were issued by the ACIT (Investigation), Circle 7(1), New Delhi and served on the assessees in New Delhi, it had no jurisdiction over the actions of that authority. It appears that the Sikkim High Court also observed that “mere fact that the companies have registered offices in Sikkim does not confer jurisdiction on this Court.” 2.8 It appears that in the meanwhile, on the basis of the returns filed by the assessees in Sikkim, the Income and Sales Tax Department of Government of Sikkim raised a revised demand on 30th November, 1990, cancelling the earlier demand raised on 30th July, 1990. 2.9 After the dismissal of the writ petitions by the Sikkim High Court on 20th July, 1993, the assessees filed writ petitions before the Delhi High Court being Writ Petition Nos. 5565 to 5569 of 1993. Initially, the Delhi High Court passed an interim order staying the proceedings. However thereafter on 13th August, 1998, an order was passed by the Delhi High Court directing the AO to frame the assessment subject to outcome of the writ petitions. 2.10 That thereafter on 24th August, 1998, notices were issued to the assessee companies under section 148 of the ACT by ACIT, Company Circle 2, New Delhi. 2.11 That on 09th October, 1998, separate assessment orders were passed by the ACIT, Company Circle 2(2), New Delhi for each of the Assessment Years in question. The Assessing Officer concluded that each of the assessees were “intentionally trying to take advantage of the prevailing laws at Sikkim by routing money through Sikkim and ploughing back in India.” The Assessing Officer also rejected the objections raised by the assessees as to the jurisdiction. The Assessing Officer made additions to the income of the assessees for the aforesaid three Assessment Years in question under different heads of income, namely, (i) income from commission (ii) unsecured loan from Dengzong Charitable Trust (iii) interest accrued/paid on the unsecured loans and (iv) provision for income tax (which was disallowed). Separate penalty proceedings were initiated under sections 271(1)(a). 271(1)(c), 273/274 and 271-B of the Act. 2.12 The assessees then preferred appeals before the CIT(A). Subsequently on 08th December, 2000, the writ petitions filed by the assessees came to be dismissed by the High Court as the respective assessees moved the Appellate Authority prescribed under the statute. The appeals preferred by the assessees before the CIT(A) came to be dismissed vide order(s) dated 30th March, 2001. 2.13 Feeling aggrieved by the order(s) passed by the CIT(A) dismissing the appeals, the respective assessees preferred appeals before the ITAT. The ITAT observed and held that notices under Section 148 of the Act could not have been served on Mr. Rattan Gupta as the said Mr. Rattan Gupta cannot be said to be a “Principal Officer” of the assessees within the meaning of section 2(35)(a) of the Act and the AO did not serve any notices of his intention of treating Mr. Rattan Gupta as the “Principal Officer” for the purposes of section 2(35)(b) of the Act. On the refusal of Mr. Rattan Gupta to receive notices, ITAT observed and opined that if Mr. Rattan Gupta refused to receive such notices, he was justified in doing so and his refusal did not authorise the AO to resort to substituted service within the meaning of Rule 20 of Order V of CPC. The order(s) passed by the ITAT allowing the appeals preferred by the assessees was/were the subject matter of appeals before the High Court at the instance of the Revenue. 2.14 The High Court framed the following questions of law: “1. Whether the Tribunal was right in holding that the ACIT exceeded his jurisdiction in issuing notices under section 148 of the Act and the notices were not served in accordance with law? 2. Whether the order made by the ITAT is perverse based on conjectures and surmises and ignorance of evidence and material and has relied upon incorrect facts? 3. Whether the income of the assessee is taxable in India?” At the instance of the Assessees, an additional question was also framed as under by the same order: 4. Whether the ITAT was right in law in holding that the assessee is not a resident of India within the meaning of Section 6(3)(ii) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and whether the said finding of the ITAT is not also vitiated and perverse as it ignores relevant admissible evidence and materials and relies upon incorrect facts and has not given due consideration to several important materials and evidence relevant for determination of residence of the assessee.” 2.15 By the impugned common judgment and order, the High Court has answered all the questions in favour of the Revenue and against the assessees and consequently has allowed the appeals preferred by the Revenue. The High Court in the impugned judgment and order has dealt with and considered the following main issues and both the parties were heard on the said issues. 1. Objection to the jurisdiction by the ACIT, Circle 7(1), New Delhi who issued notices to the assessees under Section 148 of the Act; 2. Control and management in New Delhi; 3. No income accrued or was earned in Sikkim; 4. Service of notice; 5. Limitation for issuance of notice under section 147 of the Act; 6. Merits of the reopening of the assessments; and 7. Interest By the impugned common judgment and order, the High Court has summarised the conclusion in paragraph 91 as under: (i) The Assessees, incorporated under the company law of Sikkim, are resident Indian companies. If any income accrued to them or was earned by them in India prior to 1st April 1990, then such income is taxable under the Act. (ii) The Revenue is justified in contending that the Assessees not having raised such objection at the first available opportunity should not be permitted to urge the ground of lack of jurisdiction of the Delhi officers to issue notices to them under Sections 147/148 of the Act. (iii) Rattan Gupta was not only doing the audit work of the five Assessee companies, but determining who should be the directors of the said companies. This coupled with the fact that the blank signed cheque books of all the five companies together with rubber seals, the letter heads, the blank signed cheques and other records were also found in the office of Rattan Gupta & Co., the factual determination by the AO that the management and the control of the five companies was actually wholly situated in Delhi gets fortified. The exhaustive evidence gathered by the Revenue, without being countered by the Assessees despite opportunity being afforded, serves to substantiate the case of the Revenue that the management and the control of the five Assessee companies was in fact located in Delhi. (iv) The findings of the AO that the Assessees failed to prove that the commission payments were earned by them exclusively in Sikkim has not been dislodged by the Assessees by producing any tangible material. (v) There was an implied authority of Mr. Rattan Gupta to receive such notices even in terms of Section 252(2) of the Act, read with Order V Rule 20 CPC. Consequently, the Court is unable sustain the finding of the ITAT that notice was not properly served on the Assessees through Rattan Gupta & Co. There was no need for the Department to have gone in for substituted service and the refusal by Rattan Gupta & Co. to receive the notice was sufficient to consider it as a deemed service of notice. (vi) The plea of the Assessees that the proceedings under Section 148 of the Act gets vitiated in the absence of a specific order vesting the ACIT with the powers under Section 127 of the Act to issue notice under Section 148 of the Act is rejected. (vii) The plea of the Assessees that the notices under Section 142(1) and 143(2) of the Act were issued for the first time in 1998 and were time barred is rejected. (viii) On merits there were sufficient grounds for exercising the power under Section 148 of the Act. (ix) The ITAT’s conclusion that the interest under Sections 234 A and 234 B of the Act could not be charged since a specific notice in that behalf was not issued by the AO is unsustainable in law and is overruled.” Concluding as above, the High Court has accordingly answered the questions framed in favour of the Revenue and against the assessees. The impugned common judgment and order passed by the High Court is the subject matter of present appeals. Submissions: 3. Shri Arvind P Datar and Shri G. Umapathy, learned senior counsel have appeared on behalf of the respective assessee companies and Shri N. Venkataraman, learned Additional Solicitor General of India has appeared on behalf of the Revenue. 3.1 Shri Arvind P Datar, learned senior counsel appearing on behalf of the assessee companies has submitted that the issue involved in the present appeals is, as to whether the provisions of Income Tax Act, 1961 shall be applicable to the assessee companies which are registered under the Sikkim Companies Act and amenable to Sikkim Tax Manual, 1948 in respect of three Assessment Years, i.e., 1987-88, 1988-89 and 1989-90 when Income Tax Act, 1961 was not extended to the State of Sikkim. It is submitted that the further issue is, whether jurisdiction on the authorities in Delhi can be conferred solely based on the alleged effective place of control and management of the assessee companies for the purpose of applicability of Income Tax Act, 1961. 3.2 Challenging the impugned judgment and order passed by the High Court, Shri Arvind P Datar, learned senior counsel appearing on behalf of the assessee companies has vehemently submitted that the impugned judgment is based on an erroneous assumption that the effective control of the companies vested with one Mr. Rattan Gupta, a resident of Delhi, who was rendering accounting and auditing services. 3.3 It is submitted that the impugned judgment has erroneously allowed the Department to levy interest on the assessee companies without framing the issue as a specific question of law as mandated by Section 260A of the Act. 3.4 In support of his submission that the Income Tax Act, 1961 shall not be applicable for the period during the relevant assessment years, it is vehemently submitted by Shri Datar, learned senior counsel appearing on behalf of the assessee companies that the Income Tax Act, 1961 came to be extended to the State of Sikkim only on and after 1st April, 1990. That therefore, the AO exceeded his jurisdiction. 3.5 It is contended that the assessee companies having been assessed to tax under the Sikkim Manual, 1948 and having paid and discharged income tax under the said law cannot be subjected to tax once over again by applying the “head and brain” rule in the absence of an express provision under the Income Tax Act, 1961, more so in view of the well settled law that “a taxing statute should not be interpreted in such a manner that its effect will be to cast a burden twice over for the payment of tax on the taxpayers unless the language of the statute is so compelling that the Court has no alternative than to accept it.” That in a case of reasonable doubt, the construction most beneficial to the taxpayer is to be adopted. 3.6 It is further contended that as such the present case is squarely covered by the decision of this Court in the case of Mahaveer Kumar Jain v. CIT, Jaipur, reported in (2018) 6 SCC 527, wherein this Court considered a question whether the appellant, who was a resident of Rajasthan and had won a lottery from Sikkim during the Assessment Year 1986-87 was liable to be taxed in India where Income Tax Act, 1961 was in force, notwithstanding that the said income had accrued or arisen to him at a place where Income Tax Act, 1961 was not in force, i.e., Sikkim, more particularly when the said income had already been taxed in the State of Sikkim under the Sikkim Manual, 1948. Reliance is placed on certain observations made in paragraphs 13 to 15 of the said decision. 3.7 It is next submitted that the assessee companies filed income tax returns before the appropriate authority as per Sikkim Manual, 1948 and a demand was raised by the said authority, which was paid. That the fact that the appropriate Income Tax Authority under the Sikkim Manual, 1948 accepted the income tax returns filed by the assessee companies and raised demand based on such returns establish the bona fides of the assessee companies beyond reproach. Therefore, the allegation that the assessee companies have no real business in Sikkim is absolutely baseless, unfounded and untenable. 3.8 Making above submissions, it is urged that the Income Tax Act, 1961 shall not be made applicable so far as the assessee companies are concerned for the relevant assessment years. 3.9 It is further submitted that as such the ACIT, Delhi had no territorial jurisdiction to assess the assessee companies and therefore clearly exceeded in his jurisdiction in issuing notices under section 148 of the Act on the assumption that the assessee companies were carrying on business in India, on the basis of availability of books of accounts of the assessee companies at the premises of the Chartered Accountant of the assessee companies, i.e., M/s Rattan Gupta & Co. It is submitted that such an approach is wholly untenable in law, besides being perverse. 3.10 It is further submitted that as observed and held by this Court in the cases of Ajay Kumar v. State of Uttarakhand, 2021 SCC OnLine SC 48 and Kiran Singh v. Chaman Paswan, AIR 1954 SC 340, an order passed by the authority without jurisdiction is a nullity. 3.11 It is contended that the exercise of territorial jurisdiction by CIT, Delhi is also wholly untenable in law in view of section 6(3) of the Act as it was at the relevant point of time. That Mr. Rattan Gupta was a practising Chartered Accountant and providing accounting and auditing services to several corporates and individuals and could have never been the “head and brain” behind the assessee companies. 3.12 It is further contended that even otherwise the re­assessment was impermissible in law in the absence of any original orders passed under section 143(3) of the Act. Reliance is placed on the decision of this Court in the case of trustees of H.E.H, the Nizam’s Supplemental Family Trust v. CIT, reported in (2000) 3 SCC 501 (paragraphs 10 & 11). It is submitted that the said decision was subsequently followed and affirmed by this Court in the case of Standard Chartered Finance Limited v. CIT, Bangalore, (2016) 14 SCC 634 (Civil Appeal No. 1101 of 2016 dated 9.2.2016). 3.13 It is further submitted by Shri Datar, learned senior counsel appearing on behalf of the assessee companies that as such there was no material to substantiate that the assessee companies’ control and management was situated wholly in India. That the High Court has proceeded on an erroneous presumption that the assessee companies were controlled by one Rattan Gupta, who was rendering accounting and auditing services, simply because books of accounts had been found in his office. It is submitted that no evidence was produced to the effect that he ever appointed any person as the Director of the assessee companies or dictated the manner in which such Directors were to discharge duties towards assessee companies. That the finding of the High Court that the control over management vested with Rattan Gupta and therefore the assessee companies were situated in India, is therefore wholly untenable and consequently to draw such presumption is legally unsustainable. 3.14 It is further submitted that there was no cogent material at the time of issuance of notices under section 148 of the Act to form a belief that income was chargeable under the Income Tax Act, 1961 and that the burden to prove that the control and management of assessee companies was situated wholly in India lie with the Department. That the law is well settled that the onus was on the Revenue, which has not been discharged. That on the contrary the High Court has erred in shifting the onus on the assessee companies to prove that they had legitimate business interest and income arising from the State of Sikkim. 3.15 It is contended that the impugned order is based solely on an erroneous supposition that Mr. Rattan Gupta was in control of the management of the assessee companies. That as such until the Assessment Years 1988-89, the audit and accounts of the assessee companies were being handled by one Ravinder Singh & Co. That the High Court has committed an error in treating the said Ravinder Singh to be the partner of M/s Rattan Gupta & Co. It is submitted that therefore, the impugned order is based on a flawed presumption of a critical fact and therefore the impugned judgment deserves to be set aside by this Court. 3.16. Shri Datar further submitted that in the absence of framing of any substantial question of law under Section 260A of the Act on levy of interest, the liability of interest could not have been fastened upon the assessee companies. That section 260A of the Income Tax Act is analogous to Section 100 CPC which mandates framing of question of law before exercising its jurisdiction on the said issue. It is submitted that as such no issue of levy of interest was framed by the High Court. That therefore the High Court has committed a jurisdictional error in recording a finding that ITAT’s conclusion that interest under section 234 A & B of the Act could not be charged since a specific notice in that behalf was not issued by the Assessing Officer, is unsustainable in law. 3.17 In addition, it is submitted on the aspect on territorial jurisdiction of the authorities at Delhi that the assessee companies were having their registered offices in Sikkim. Therefore, the issuance of notices under Section 148 of the Act is beyond jurisdiction. That on the issue of territorial jurisdiction, the ITAT found that since the business premises of the assessees were in Sikkim, the territorial jurisdiction to assess vested with the ACIT, Gangtok. Therefore, the ITAT rightly held that the ACIT Delhi who issued notices under section 148 of the Act had no territorial jurisdiction. That the proper course for the Department was to have the matter entrusted to ACIT, Gangtok after complying with the mandate of section 127 of the Act for transferring jurisdiction of ACIT, Gangtok to New Delhi. It is submitted that though the Revenue in its appearance before the High Court raised a question of law on the finding recorded by the ITAT on territorial jurisdiction of the authorities at Delhi, while framing question(s) of law, the High Court did not frame an issue with regard to territorial jurisdiction. Thus, the finding with regard to lack of territorial jurisdiction by ITAT had attained finality. 3.18 Insofar as the levy of interest is concerned, it is submitted that the ITAT specifically observed that no direction was made by the AO for levy of interest. Therefore relying upon the decision of this Court in the case of CIT v. Ranchi Club Limited, (2001) 247 ITR 209 taking the view that levy of interest was under Section 234A, B & C of the Act, without a direction by the AO in the assessment order is not legally sustainable. It is further submitted that the High Court, while upsetting the finding recorded by the ITAT on levy of interest, has erred in relying upon the decisions of this Court in the cases of Commissioner of Income Tax, Mumbai v. Anjum M.H. Ghaswala, (2002) 1 SCC 633 and Commissioner of Income Tax, Delhi v. Bhagat Construction Company Private Limited, (2016) 15 SCC 738. 3.19 Shri Datar, learned senior counsel appearing on behalf of the assessee companies contended that as such there was no notice served upon the proper person and the notice served upon Rattan Gupta cannot be said to be a valid service of notice. That under section 2(35)(b) of the Act, the Assessing Officer is required to serve a notice only on persons who are connected with the management or administration of the assessee company to treat them as Principal Officer. That Rattan Gupta was never connected with the management or administration of the assessee companies so as to treat him as a Principal Officer. That Rattan Gupta was not the Secretary, Treasurer, Manager or Agent of the assessee companies under section 2(35)(a) of the Act. Therefore, the AO ought to have served a notice on Rattan Gupta informing him of his intention to treat him as the Principal Officer of the assessee companies on the ground that he was a person connected with the management or administration of the assessee companies under section 2(35)(b) of the Act. However, in the present case, the AO never served a notice on Rattan Gupta under section 2(35)(b) of the Act expressing his intention to treat him as the Principal Officer of the assessee companies. Therefore, this failure vitiates the entire proceedings. 3.20 It is submitted that there is adequate evidence on record to establish that: (a) the business was managed from Gangtok in Sikkim where the business was carried on by one Mr. Ajay Kumar Agarwal, Local Director and Mr. H.L. Verma, (b) the income was earned and assessed to income tax in Sikkim as per the Sikkim Manual, 1948, and (c) income tax was paid in Sikkim under Sikkim Manual, 1948. 3.21 That further, seized vouchers and records clearly establish that commission payments were received into the bank accounts of these companies from identified traders of large cardamom and that department had no material in its possession to disbelieve that these traders had made the commission payments only on sale of cardamom. 3.22 It is submitted that books of accounts, ledgers etc. which were found at the office premises of Mr. Rattan Gupta’s office at Daryaganj, Delhi were handed over to Mr. Rattan Gupta for providing professional accounting services as he was a practising Chartered Accountant. He had clearly stated that the books of accounts, ledgers etc. were handed over to him for providing professional services and that the business operations were carried out from Gangtok in Sikkim by Mr. Ajay Kumar Agarwal, Local Director and Mr. H.L. Verma and that he had nothing to do with the business operations of the assessee companies. A mere allegation that he is in charge of the conduct of the company is not sufficient to hold that he is the Principal Officer. There should be credible material to how his active involvement in the conduct and management of the business. 3.23 It is next submitted that assumption of jurisdiction based on the seizure of books of accounts from the office premises of the practising Chartered Accountant Mr. Rattan Gupta at New Delhi and treating him as the Principal Officer or “head and brain” of the companies incorporated under the Sikkim Companies Registration Act, 1961 when the said Chartered Accountant had categorically stated on oath that he was rendering professional accounting and reconciliation services to the companies in question, is without jurisdiction, perverse and deserves to be set aside. The failure of same would set a very bad precedent and have far reaching consequences on the rights of Chartered Accountants to carry on their profession. 3.24 Making above submissions and relying upon the aforesaid decisions, it is prayed that the present appeals be allowed. 4. The present appeals are vehemently opposed by Shri N. Venkataraman, learned Additional Solicitor General of India appearing on behalf of the Revenue. He has taken us through the findings recorded by the Assessing Officer in the Assessment Order, findings of the CIT(A) vide order dated 30th March, 2001, findings recorded by the ITAT vide order dated 8th January, 2002 and the findings recorded by the High Court including the findings recorded regarding the issue pertaining to service of notice and levy of interest. 4.1 Insofar as the submission on behalf of the appellants on control and management of affairs of the companies is concerned, it is submitted that section 6 of the Act defines residence in India. That the relevant provision is section 6(3) of the Act. That this principle of control and management of its affairs is not something which had originated for the first time in the Income Tax Act, 1961. This expression had existed even under the Income Tax Act, 1922. It is submitted that under the erstwhile Income Tax Act, 1922, Section 4A defined residence in taxable territories. Section 6 of the Act deals with residence in India and the relevant provision would be Section 6(3) pre-amendment in 2017 and post-amendment 2017 w.e.f. 01.04.2017. He has taken us through the relevant provisions under the Income Tax Act, 1922 (Section 4A), Section 6(3) of the Act (existed prior to 01.04.2017) and Section 6(3) of the Act substituted by Finance Act w.e.f. 01.04.2017. 4.2 On the interpretation on the control and management of affairs, Shri N. Venkataraman, learned ASG has relied upon the following English, Supreme Court and High Court judgments both under the Act, 1922 and Act, 1961: i) San Paulo v. Carter (1896) AC 31 Lord Halsbury; ii) V.R.N.M. Subbayya Chettiar v. CIT, Madras, AIR 1951 SC 101; iii) Erin Estate v. CIT, 1959 SCR 573; iv) Narottan and Pereira Ltd. v. CIT, Bombay City, 1953 23 ITR 454 (paragraphs 3 & 4) (Bombay High Court Judgment); v) Estate of A. Mohammed Rowther v. CIT, Madras, 1963 49 ITR 39, (Madras High Court Judgment); vi) CIT v. Chitra Palayakat Co., 1985 156 ITR 730 (Madras High Court Judgment); viii) Commissioner of Income Tax v. Nandlal Gandalal, 1960 40 ITR 1 (SC); viii) A.M.M. Firm v. Reserve Bank of India, 1982 SCC OnLine Mad. 187 (Madras High Court Judgment); ix) Commissioner of Income Tax v. Bank of China, 1985 SCC OnLine Cal. 24 (Calcutta High Court Judgment); and x) Inc. v. Commissioner of Income Tax, 1990 SCC OnLine Cal. 385 (Calcutta High Court Judgment) 4.3 Relying upon the aforesaid decisions, it is submitted as under: a) Holding lands, receipt of payments and carrying on trade is of no consequence as long as the control of the commercial venture and directions governing the commercial venture are given from elsewhere. b) Domicile or registration of the company is not relevant. The making, maintaining, managing and working is insufficient. c) Directors authorised to manage the work and employees rendering service again are insufficient. d) The determinative test is where the sole right to manage and control every department of its affairs lies. Managers and directors whose services are merely remunerated is not a relevant criterion. The profits although received by the employees as remuneration, do not belong to them and are not in their disposal. Incurring of debts or payment to agents are of no consequence. e) The test is, where the head and seat and directing power of the affairs of the company is, which works with some degree of permanence while the expression ‘wholly’ would seem to recognize the possibility of the seat of such power being divided between two distinct and separate places. f) The question to be asked is from where the person or group of persons control or direct the business. g) Mere activity by the company does not create residence. h) In case of dual residence, it is necessary to show that the company performs some of the vital organic functions incidental to its existence in both the places so that there are in fact two centres of management. i) Control and management which must be shown is not merely theoretical control and power, or de jure control and power but the de facto control and power actually exercised in the course of the conduct and management of the affairs of the firm. Mere presence of directors or vesting of power in them is insufficient unless otherwise they had exercised the power elsewhere in the territory under question. j) Even acting under a power of attorney is not sufficient as the same can be cancelled at any moment and as a power of attorney holder they must submit to the principal an explanation of what they have been doing and the principal has the right of keeping a vigilant eye over their work from the board room and the power exercised by the power of attorney holder is only de jure control and not de facto control and management. k) The intrinsic test is where the central control and management actually abides. Mere presence of even the managing partner or mere delegation of power is insufficient. l) The expression control and management of its affairs is much wider than the expression used in some treatises ‘Control and Management of the business.’ 4.4 It is further submitted that in light of the principles laid down in the aforesaid decisions, it is well settled that a question, as to where the control and management lies is to be decided in light of the actual or the factual exercise of control, inasmuch as the Courts consistently have taken the view that mere presence of a partner firm in India even when he happens to be the managing partner, is not conclusive of the issue. 4.5 It is further submitted that to cull out the meaning of management and control under the old Section 6(3) pre-amendment 2017, which shall be applicable in the present case, section 6(3) post 1st April, 2017 is also required to be considered. That the test under the new law post 1st April, 2017 is “Key management and commercial decisions necessary for the conduct of the business as a whole or in substance.” It is submitted that the place of effective management (POEM) is the new standard prescribed by the Parliament, w.e.f. 1st April, 2017, in alignment with the global needs and business practices. 4.6 Taking us to the findings recorded by the AO, CIT(A) and the High Court which are on appreciation of evidence/material on record, it is vehemently submitted by Shri N. Venkataraman, learned ASG that it was rightly concluded that the control and management of the companies was in Delhi and that it was a clear design on the part of the respective assessees to treat the income as arising from Sikkim to avoid the payment of tax under the Act, 1961. It is submitted that the control and management of the companies was being done by Rattan Gupta from his Delhi office. Therefore, the assessees can be said to be residence in India and therefore liable to pay tax under the Income Tax Act, 1961. 4.7 Insofar as the submission on behalf of the appellants that in the absence of any original assessment, there shall not be any re-assessment under sections 147/148 of the Act, Shri N. Venkataraman, learned ASG has heavily relied upon the decision of this Court in the case of Commissioner of Income Tax v. Sun Engineering Works P. Ltd. (1992) 4 SCC 363 (paragraph 14). It is submitted that in the said decision, it is observed and held by this Court that under section 147, the AO has been vested with the power to ‘assess or reassess’ the escaped income of an assessee. That the term ‘escaped assessment’ includes both “non-assessment” as well as “under assessment.” 4.8 Insofar as the submission on behalf of the appellants on service of notice is concerned, it is submitted that the principal place of business is the seat of control and therefore notice sent to Delhi is sufficient. On the service of notice at Delhi, Shri N. Venkataraman, learned ASG has heavily relied upon the observations/findings recorded by the High Court in the impugned judgment and order in paragraphs 78 to 83. Thereafter, relying upon the decision of the Calcutta High Court in the case of India Glycols Ltd. v. Commissioner of Income Tax, 2004 SCC OnLine Cal. 736, it is submitted that notices sent/served at Delhi can be said to be valid notice/service. 4.9 As regards levy of interest under Section 234A of the Act is concerned, it is urged by Shri N. Venkataraman, learned ASG that interest levied under Section 234A is mandatory and there is no discretion with the AO and therefore there is no question of non-compliance of principles of natural justice. It is submitted that so far as the penalty leviable under section 271 of the Act is concerned, the same is discretionary, however the interest is not discretionary. Therefore, for imposing penalty, principles of natural justice are required to be complied with, however in case of interest, the same being mandatory in nature and automatic there is no requirement of following principles of natural justice and/or even if in the assessment order there is no specific order to levy the interest but the interest charged is indicated in the ITNS 150 accompanying the assessment order and the same would be sufficient compliance for demanding interest. Heavy reliance is placed on the Constitution Bench decision of this Court in the case of Anjum M.H. Ghaswala (supra) as well as subsequent decision in the case of Karanvir Singh Gossal v. Commissioner of Income Tax, (2012) 13 SCC 802 and the decision of this Court in the case of Bhagat Construction Company Private Limited (supra). 4.10 It is submitted that the ITAT has relied upon the decision of this Court in the case of Ranchi Club Ltd. (supra). However, the said decision has been subsequently overruled and/or held not to be good law in view of the subsequent decisions in the cases of Anjum M.H. Ghaswala (supra) and Bhagat Construction Company Private Limited (supra). 4.11 Insofar as the submission regarding non-framing of the substantial question of law on levy of interest is concerned, heavy reliance is placed on the decision of this Court in the case of State Bank of India v. S.N. Goyal, (2008) 8 SCC 92 (paragraph 13). It is submitted that as observed and held by this Court in the aforesaid decision, when a question of law arises incidentally or collaterally, having no bearing on the final outcome, it will not be a substantial question of law. It is submitted that in the present case, the Constitution Bench in Anjum M.H. Ghaswala (supra) has held that the interest is both mandatory and automatic and the decision of this Court and various High Courts had concluded that it does not require a separate notice, hearing and an independent order. It is submitted that this Court in the case of Bhagat Construction Company Private Limited (supra) had in no uncertain terms made the legal position clear by holding that should the assessing authority enclose an ITNS 150 form computing the interest liability and annexed the same with the assessment order, the same would constitute adequate compliance for sustaining the interest and upholding it. That the aforesaid judgment makes it evidently clear that when an issue is incidental or collateral then it does not give rise to a substantial question of law. Once the tax liability is upheld, interest become automatic, mandatory and collateral. 4.12 It is next submitted that the final outcome of the tax liability or the final outcome of the substantial questions raised and decided by the High Court, had been decided without any sense of dependence on the issue of interest. That the final legal outcome of the substantial questions raised and decided is not dependent or contingent upon a decision on interest. On the contrary, the moment the tax liability gets upheld, if the AO had imposed interest at the first instance, (which in this case is not under dispute) then interest would get added to the tax liability as it does not require an independent and stand alone consideration as to whether the same is leviable. 4.13 As regards the reliance placed upon the decision of this Court in the case of Shiv Raj Gupta v. CIT, Delhi, AIR 2020 SC 3556, by the learned senior counsel appearing on behalf of the appellants on non-framing of substantial question of law in terms of Section 260A of the Act so far as the interest liability is concerned, it is submitted that the said decision shall not be applicable to the facts of the case at hand and more particularly in case of an interest which is automatic and mandatory. It is submitted that in the said case, the dispute was with respect to capital gains which by its very nature is a separate head of income and the issue relates to the very taxability. That therefore, failure to raise a question of taxability of capital gains in a particular case may tantamount to a failure in raising a substantial question of law in terms of Section 260A of the Act. However, the same may not apply on interest as the interest is automatic and mandatory. 4.14 Making above submissions and relying upon the aforesaid decisions, it is prayed that the present appeals be dismissed. Consideration: 5. We have heard learned counsel for the respective parties at length. We have also gone through the orders passed by the Assessing Officer, CIT(A), ITAT and the impugned judgment and order passed by the High Court in great detail. At the outset, it is required to be noted that the AO held against the respective assessees on all points including Rattan Gupta being the main person in management and control of the respective companies situated in Delhi as well as the jurisdiction of the AO in Delhi. The findings shall be referred to hereinbelow. The findings recorded by the AO have been upheld by the CIT(A), which are also against the respective assessees. However, the ITAT reversed the order passed by the CIT(A), which order has been reversed by the High Court by holding that the decision of the ITAT is perverse both, on facts and in law. 6. While appreciating the correctness of the impugned judgment and order passed by the High Court and while appreciating the submissions made by the learned counsel appearing for the respective parties, the findings recorded by the AO, CIT(A), ITAT and the High Court in the impugned judgment and order are required to be referred to, which are as under: Findings record by the AO while passing the Assessment Order: i) The directors are all from outside Sikkim and had never been to Sikkim, and the lone director Mr. Ajay Agarwal was projected as a resident of Gangtok, Sikkim, which could not be sustained as no proof or identity was shown; ii) The entire books of accounts were found and seized at New Delhi at the address of Mr. Rattan Gupta, Chartered Accountant, 4556/4, Ansari Road, Darya Ganj, New Delhi. Returns were filed without audit reports and auditors have not signed balance sheets and the auditors were also based out of Delhi. Though bank accounts were available both in Delhi and Sikkim, the authorized signatories, to operate both the accounts were located only in Delhi; iii) The statutory books, registers and the shareholders were all located in Delhi; iv) No evidence was ever produced for having conducted board meetings in Sikkim; v) When it came to earning of commission from various agents, the genuineness of the addresses given at Sikkim could not be proved. When notices were issued under Section 131 of the Act, no response was forthcoming and, from the memorandum and articles of association it was clear that the agents were kith and kin of the directors; vi) Shockingly, the total commission alleged to have been earned was more than the sale of cardamom and what could have been produced by the State of Sikkim in a year. These facts have been corroborated by the intelligence wing of the department; vii) There were no employees and no expenses incurred at Sikkim; viii) At the time of search and seizure on 15.03.1990 at the premises of Mr. Rattan Gupta & Co., the following things were seized: 1) Books of accounts 2) Funds 3) Memorandum and Articles of Association 4) Blank cheque books of the bank accounts held both in New Delhi, Gangtok and Sikkim 5) Pass books of all the 5 companies both Delhi and Gangtok 6) Blank printed letter pads and rubber stamps ix) Rattan Gupta in his statement dated 15th March, 1990, confirmed that as part of reconciliation, the persons contacted were Dalmia Resorts International Private Limited and Gujarat Heavy Chemicals Limited and other entities. He further confirmed that Mr. Rajiv Jain became a director in 3 companies on his instructions and he had also made directors in all the 5 Sikkim companies and named a few of them. It was conceded clearly that though these persons became directors at his behest no work was performed by these persons except signing papers; x) Mr. Rajiv Jain in his statement dated 15th March, 1990 confirmed that cheque books and pass books were found at the office of Mr. Rattan Gupta and so is the case with rubber stamps and blank printed letter heads; xi) Ravinder Singh in his statement confirmed that he had been looking after the day-to-day affairs of these companies from Delhi till March, 1998, after which Rattan Gupta took over the position as the only director and the other directors were his nominees, and Rattan Gupta functioned and operated only from Delhi and no office expenses have been incurred in Sikkim; xii) The AO also entered a finding that there has been a fund transfer from Delhi into the bank accounts at Sikkim to claim exemption and these have been round tripping of money going from Delhi to Sikkim and getting remitted back into Delhi and claiming exemption in Sikkim; and xiii) This was done till 31st March, 1989 and the moment Income Tax Act was extended in 1990 the whole apparatus erased and no commission was shown by any of the companies. Findings recorded by the CIT(A) : 1) That the appellate authority upheld the findings of the AO, more specifically regarding commission alleged to have been received by reiterating that the summons sent to different persons who had allegedly paid amounts as commission had not responded to him and that the assessees had also not produced any worthwhile evidence to prove the genuineness of commission received. 2) That even U.P. Karma was examined on 8th October, 1998 and he confirmed that he had joined in 1998 and had no idea of earlier annual general body meetings and could not produce any minutes. He also confirmed that he did not have any idea about the business in which all the 5 companies were involved earlier. That he is a working director claiming that he had never visited Gangtok, which shows that Sikkim has been merely used without actual rendition of any affairs. 3) As regards the charging of interest, the CIT(A) gave a finding that the interest was charged as per the workings mentioned in ITNS 150 which was forming part of the assessment order, which is sufficient and good enough to uphold interest in terms of the decision of this Court. Findings recorded by the ITAT: 1) After confirming the fact that the notices were dispatched only in the name of the respective companies in c/o Rattan Gupta, Chartered Accountant, it was observed that Rattan Gupta would not qualify as a principal officer within the meaning of section 2(35)(a) of the Act. At this stage, it is required to be noted that the High Court has observed that in any event the authorised representative of the assessee appeared before the AO and accepted that the notices has been issued. In that view of the matter, thereafter it is not open for the assessees to make a grievance with respect to non-service of the notice; 2) On the aspect relating to the control and management of the affairs, the ITAT recorded the findings as under: i) It is important to highlight that the ITAT had neither reserved nor found the findings of the AO as upheld by the CIT(A), as not maintainable or factually erroneous or perverse. ii) The findings of fact rendered by the AO as upheld by the CIT(A) remain undisturbed and unquestioned. iii) The entire discussion by the ITAT has only been an analysis of various case law on this point without questioning the underlying findings. iv) The ITAT finally came to a conclusion that since all the 5 companies had been registered in Sikkim, Sikkim will get the jurisdiction to tax. Thereafter, the ITAT concluded that the revenue could not discharge its burden and, therefore, control and management was only in Sikkim and the income had accrued only in Sikkim. 6.1 While reversing the finding of the AO on whether the commission was not earned in Gangtok, though the AO found that the notices were sent to those who had allegedly paid the commission to the assessees and the summons under Section 131 had not been complied with, the ITAT gave a finding that the AO did not proceed further and thus, since no adverse material has been brought on record, the AO could not have proceeded to draw adverse inference as the burden was heavily on the revenue. 6.2 On the levy of interest, the ITAT concluded that the interest could not have been levied since the AO had not applied his mind before levying interest following the decision of the Patna High court in the case of Ranchi Club Limited (supra). Findings recorded by the High Court: 1. That a company, though incorporated in Sikkim, if it had earned any income outside Sikkim and within India, Income Tax Act, 1961 would apply to such income and the jurisdiction of the income tax authorities would not get excluded as long as what is sought to be brought to take is the income of the company incorporated in Sikkim, which income accrued to it and was earned in India. 2. While referring to the various statements made by the directors who are all stationed in Delhi, the High Court has given the following findings: i) Rattan Gupta had not acted merely as an auditor giving professional advice to the 5 entities; ii) His own employees are appointed as directors; iii) The explanation offered for signed cheque books, rubber seals and letter heads being available in his office is not convincing; iv) Rattan Gupta had tried to shift the entire responsibility of handling of cheques to Mr. Verma; Mr. Verma was never produced by the assessee; v) The burden of proof could not be discharged in the instant case and therefore, the High Court upheld the findings of the AO that the precise role of Mr. Rattan Gupta as being in de facto control of the 5 entities appears to be correct; vi) That two persons who had been identified to have handled the business and supervised it, namely, H.L. Verma and Uma Shankar Sitani were produced by the assessees for their statements to be recorded. The High Court found that Mr. R.K. Goswami, Mr. Vedant Mehta and Mr. Rajiv Jain had all become directors on the request of Mr. Rattan Gupta, a fact which was not disproved or found to be incorrect. 6.3 Thereafter, the High Court concluded that the control and management of affairs was wholly in India for the following reasons: a) Rattan Gupta was not only doing audit work but determining who should be the directors of the said companies. b) The rubber seals, letter heads, blank signed cheques and other records were all found in the office of Rattan Gupta. The factual determination by the AO remains undisputed and this fortifies that the control and management was in Delhi. c) The statement of Rattan Gupta suggesting that H.L. Verma or Uma Shankar Sitani were actually handling the affairs of the 5 entities could not be made good by offering either of them for examination. d) Once documents were seized and statements were recorded from various persons, the burden gets shifted to the assessees to produce some evidence to counter the picture and, the court found that its extremely unusual that the seals and the signed blank cheques would be lying with the Chartered Accountant. e) The High Court in paragraph 70 held that the revenue is right as there can be no presumption in law that control and management is at the registered office. f) In paragraph 71, the High Court held that “it appears to the Court that the ITAT has not upset the factual finding of the AO, which was confirmed by the CIT(A). The above exhaustive evidence gathered by the revenue, without being countered by the assessee despite opportunity being afforded, serves to substantiate the case of the revenue that the management and control of the 5 assessee companies was in fact located in Delhi. The finding by the ITAT in this regard is plainly perverse and unsustainable in law.” g) On commission and accrual of income, the High Court concluded as under: i) The findings by the AO that the assessee had failed to prove that the commission payments earned by them is exclusively in Sikkim had not been dislodged by the assessee by producing any tangible material; ii) The evidence produced by the assesses are only copies of bills and vouchers and receipt of money from such agents at Sikkim in its bank accounts and assessments have been made under the Sikkim Manual, 1948; iii) The High Court in para 76 held that “none of the 5 entities named by the assessees as having paid the commission to them appeared in the course of assessment proceedings to confirm the payments having been made to the assessees.” The High Court also recorded that the rate of commission paid was unrealistic and beyond human probabilities, non­existence of any employees in Sikkim, non-incurring of any expenditure in Sikkim as found in the P&L account and finally the balance sheet showing that notwithstanding that the income was from commission the assets were in the form of investments in Dalmia Group would stare at the face of the assessees and remains unrebutted. The High Court concluded that the findings by the ITAT in this regard is contrary to the record and is based on surmises and unsustainable in law. 6.4 In light of the above findings, the submissions made by the learned counsel for the respective parties on service of notice upon Rattan Gupta being in the control and management of the respective assessees; the control and management of the affairs of the assessee companies; the applicability of the Income Tax Act, 1961; jurisdiction of the AO and levy of interest are required to be considered. 7. On appreciation of the entire evidence on record, the AO, CIT(A) and the High Court have specifically held against the assessees that in fact Rattan Gupta did not merely render professional services but had a vital say in the control and management of the assessee companies and in fact he was in control and management of the affairs of the respective assessee companies. 7.1 On control and management of business, few decisions on interpretation of Section 4A of the erstwhile Income Tax Act, 1922 and interpretation of Section 6(3) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 are required to be referred to, which are as under: i) In the case of V.R.N.M. Subbayya Chettiar (supra), it is observed in paragraph 10 as under: “10. The principles which are now well established in England and which will be found to have been very clearly enunciated in Swedish Central RailwayCo. Ltd. v. Thompson (Inspector of Taxes) [Swedish Central Railway Co. Ltd. v. Thompson (Inspector of Taxes), 1925 AC 495 : 9 TC 373 (HL)] , which is one of the leading cases on the subject, are: (i) That the conception of residence in the case of a fictitious “person”, such as a company, is as artificial as the company itself, and the locality of the residence can only be determined by analogy, by asking where is the head and seat and directing power of the affairs of the company. What these words mean have been explained by M. Patanjali Sastri, J. with very great clarity in the following passage where he deals with the meaning of Section 4-A(b) of the Income Tax Act: “4-A. (b) ‘Control and management’ signifies, in the present context, the controlling and directive power, ‘the head and brain’ as it is sometimes called, and ‘situated’ implies the functioning of such power at a particular place with some degree of permanence, while ‘wholly’ would seem to recognise the possibility of the seat of such power being divided between two distinct and separated places.” As a general rule, the control and management of a business remains in the hand of a person or a group of persons, and the question to be asked is wherefrom the person or group of persons controls or directs the business. (2) Mere activity by the company in a place does not create residence, with the result that a company may be “residing” in one place and doing a great deal of business in another. (3) The central management and control of a company may be divided, and it may keep house and do business in more than one place, and, if so, it may have more than one residence. (4) In case of dual residence, it is necessary to show that the company performs some of the vital organic functions incidental to its existence as such in both the places, so that in fact there are two centres of management.” ii) Thereafter, in the case of Erin Estate (supra), it is observed in paragraphs 6 & 9 as under: “6. There is no doubt that the question raised for our decision is a question of law. Whether or not the appellant is a resident firm under Section 4-A(b) would depend upon the legal effect of the facts proved in the case. The status of the appellant which has to be determined by reference to the relevant section of the Act is a mixed question of fact and law and in determining this question the principles of law deducible from the provisions of the said section will have to be applied. This position has not been disputed before us in the present proceedings. Section 4-A(b) provides inter alia that “for the purpose of the Act, a firm is resident in the taxable territories unless the control and management of its affairs is situated wholly without the taxable territories”. This provision shows that, where the partners of a firm are residents of this country, the normal presumption would be that the firm is resident in the taxable territories. This presumption is rebuttable and it can be effectively rebutted by the assessee showing that the control and management of the affairs of the firm is situated wholly without the taxable territories. The onus to rebut the initial presumption is on the assessee. The control and management contemplated by the section evidently refers to the controlling and directing power. Often enough, this power has been described in judicial decisions as the “head and brain”; the affairs of the firm which are subject to the said control and management refer to the affairs which are relevant for the purpose of taxation and so they must have some relation to the income of the firm. When the section refers to the control and management being situated wholly without the taxable territories it implies that the control and management can be situated in more places than one. Where the control and management are situated wholly outside India the initial presumption arising under the section is effectively rebutted. It is true that the control and management which must be shown to, be situated at least partially in India is not the merely theoretical control and power, not a de jure control and power but the de facto control and power actually exercised in the course of the conduct and management of the affairs of the firm. Theoretically, if the partners reside in India they would naturally have the legal right to control the affairs of the firm which carries on its operations outside India. The presence of this theoretical de jure right to control and manage the affairs of the firm which inevitably vests in all the partners would not by itself show that the requisite control and management is situated in India. It must be shown by evidence that control and management in the affairs of the firm is exercised, may be to a small extent, in India before it can be held that the control and management is not situated wholly without the taxable territories. (Vide B.R. Naik v. CIT [(1945) 13 ITR 124 : (1946) 14 ITR 334] ). The effect and scope of the provisions of Section 4-A(b) has been considered by this Court in V.V.R.N.M. Subbayya Chettiar v. CIT [1950 SCC 971 : (1950) SCR 961, 965] . After examining the relevant decisions on this point, Fazi Ali, J., who delivered the judgment of the Court, has observed “(1) that the conception of residence in the case of a fictitious ‘person’ such as a company, is as artificial as the company itself and the locality of the residence can only be determined by analogy, by asking where is the head and seat and directing power of the affairs of the company. …(2) Mere activity by the company in a place does not create residence, with the result that the company may be residing in one place and doing a great deal of business in another. (3) The central management and control of a company may be divided and it may keep house and do business in more than one place, and, if so, it may have more than one residence. (4) In case of dual residence, it is necessary to show that the company performs some of the vital organic functions incidental to its existence as such in both the places so that in fact there are two centres of management”. It is in the light of these principles that Section 4-A(b) has to be construed. Thus, the only question which remains to be considered is whether the High Court of Madras was right in holding that the appellant was resident in India under Section 4-A(b). xxx xxx xxx 9. Mr Kolah then raised a further point which had not been urged before the High Court. He contended that the control and management mentioned in Section 4-A(b) must be control and management valid and effective in law. Under Section 12 of the Partnership Act, it is only the majority of partners who could have given effective directions to the superintendent and since there is no evidence that the alleged control and management has been exercised by the majority of partners acting in concert it would not be possible to hold that any control and management of the firm’s affairs resided in India. We do not think there is any substance in this argument. Under Section 12(a), every partner has a right to take part in the conduct of the business and it is only where difference arises as to ordinary matters connected with the business of the firm that the same has to be decided by majority of partners under sub-section (c) of the said section. It has not been suggested or shown that there was any difference between the partners in regard to the matters covered by the individual partner’s letters of instruction to the superintendent. Indeed the course of conduct evidenced by these letters shows that Andiappa Pillai who holds the maximum number of individual shares has purported to act for the partnership and usually gave instructions in regard to the conduct and management of the firm’s affairs. On the record we see no trace of any protest against, or disagreement with, this conduct of Andiappa Pillai. Besides, it was never suggested during the course of the enquiry before the Income Tax Officers that the directions given by Andiappa Pillai were not valid or effective and had not been agreed upon by the remaining partners. That is why we think this technical point raised by Mr Kolah must fail.” iii) That thereafter the Bombay High Court in the case of Narottam and Pareira Ltd. (supra) through Justice M.C. Chagla, as His Lordship then was, observed and held in paragraphs 3 and 4 as under: “3. It is also necessary that the control and management of the affairs of the company should be situated wholly in the taxable territories. Therefore, if any part of the control and management is outside the taxable territories then the company would not be resident. In this connection it is perhaps necessary to look at the converse definition for a Hindu undivided family, firm or other association of persons. In their case they are resident unless the control and management of its affairs is situated wholly without the taxable territories. Therefore; whereas in the case of a Hindu undivided family or firm or association of persons any measure of control and management within the taxable territories would make them resident, in the case of a company any measure of control and management of its affairs outside the taxable territories would make it non-resident. In construing the expression “control and management” it is necessary to bear in mind the distinction between doing of business and the control and management of business. Business and the whole of it may be done outside India and yet the control and management of that business may be wholly within India. In this particular case considerable emphasis is placed upon the fact that the whole of the business of the company is done in Ceylon and the whole of the income which is liable to tax has been earned in Ceylon. But that is not a factor which the Legislature has emphasised, It is entirely irrelevant where the business is done and where the income has been earned. What is relevant and material is from which place has that business been controlled and managed. “Control and management” referred to in Section 4A(c) is, as we shall presently point out on the authorities, central control and management. The control and management contemplated by this sub-section is not the carrying on of day to day business by servants, employees or agents. The real test to be applied is, where is the controlling and directing power, or rather, where does the controlling and directing power function or to put it in a different language there is always a seat of power or the head and brain, and what has got to be ascertained is, where is this seat of power, or the head and brain. A company or for the matter of that a firm or an undivided Hindu family has got to work through servants and agents, but it is not the servants and agents that constitute the seat of power or the controlling and directing power. It is that authority to which the servants, employees and agents are subject, it is that authority which controls and manages them, which is the central authority, and it is at the place where the central authority functions that the company resides. It’ may be in some cases that like an individual a company may have residence in more than one place. It may exercise control and management not only from one fixed abode, but it may have different places. That would again be a question dependent upon the circumstances of each case. But the contention which Mr. Kolah has most strongly pressed before us is entirely unacceptable that a company controls or manages at a particular place because its affairs are carried on at a particular place and they are carried on by people living there appointed by the company with large powers of management. A company may have a dozen local branches at different places outside India, it may send out agents fully armed with authority to deal with and carry on business at these branches, and yet it may retain the central management and control in Bombay and manage and control all the affairs of these branches from Bombay and at Bombay. It would be impossible to contend that because there are authorised agents doing the business of the company at six different places outside India, therefore the company is resident not only in Bombay but at all these six different places. 4. ….It is perfectly true that these two managers do all the business of the company in Ceylon and in doing that business naturally a large amount of discretion is given to them and a considerable amount of authority. But the mere doing of business does not constitute these managers the controlling and directing power. Their power-of-attorney can be cancelled at any moment, they must carry out any orders given to them from Bombay, they must submit to Bombay an explanation of what they have been doing, and throughout the time that they are working in Ceylon a vigilant eye is kept over their work from the directors’ board room in Bombay. The correspondence which has also been relied upon between the company here and its office in Colombo also goes to show and emphasises the same state of affairs. Mr. Kolah is right again when he puts emphasis upon the fact that what we have to consider in this case is not the power or the capacity to manage and control, but the actual control and management, or, in other words, not the dejure control and management but thede facto control and management, and in order to hold that the company is resident during the years of account it must be established that the company de facto controlled and managed its affairs in Bombay. Mr. Kolah says that the two powers-of-attorney go to show that whatever legal or juridical control and management the company might have had, in fact the actual management was exercised by the two managers in Ceylon. In our opinion this is not a case where the company did nothing with regard to the actual management and control of its affairs and left it to some other agency. As we said before, the two managers were the employees of the company acting throughout the relevant period under the control and management of the company, and therefore in the case we are considering there was not only a dejure control and management, but also a de facto control and management.” That thereafter, Justice Kania, as His Lordship then was, after referring to the decision in the case of B.R. Naik v. Commissioner of Income Tax, Bombay, (1945) 13 ITR 124 has observed and held that the expression “control and management” means where the central control and management actually abides. iv) The Calcutta High Court in the case of Bank of China (supra) has specifically held that a company may be simultaneously resident in more than one place, but the control and management is where the head and brain is situated. While holding so, in paragraphs 7 to 9, it is observed and held as under: “7. Under s. 6(3), a non-Indian company is said to be resident in India in any previous year if during that year the control and management of its affairs is situated wholly in India. The determination as to at what place or places the control and management of a particular company is situated is essentially a question of fact to be determined on the facts and circumstances of the particular case. A company can be simultaneously resident in more than one place but the question is whether the control and management is situated wholly in India during the relevant previous year. The expression “control and management” signifies the controlling and directive power, “the head and brain”, as it is sometimes called, and “situated” implies the functioning of such power at a particular place with some degree of permanence. The word “wholly” as used in s. 6(3) would indicate that the seat of such power may be divided between two distinct and separate places. The expression “control and management” means de facto control and management and not merely the right or power to control and manage. In order to hold that a non-Indian company is resident in India during any previous year, it must be established that such company de facto controls and manages its affairs in India. The principles are by now well settled. 8. Lord Loreburn L.C. in De Beers Consolidated Mines Ltd. v. Howe, [1906] 5 TC 198 (HL) at page 212, observed as follows: “Mr. Cohen propounded a test which had the merits of simplicity and certitude. He maintained that a company resides where it is registered, and nowhere else…….. I cannot adopt Mr. Cohen’s contention. In applying the conception of residence to a company, we ought, I think, to proceed as nearly as we can upon the analogy of an individual. A company cannot eat or sleep, but it can keep house and do business. We ought, therefore, to see whether it really keeps house and does business. An individual may be of foreign nationality, and yet reside in the United Kingdom. So may a company. Otherwise, it might have its chief seat of management and its centre of trading in England, under the protection of English law, and yet escape the appropriate taxation by the simple expedient of being registered abroad and distributing its dividends abroad. The decision of Chief Baron Kelly and Baron Huddleston in Calcutta Jute Mills Co. Ltd. v. Henry Nicholson, [1876] 1 TC 83 : [1876] 1 Ex D 428 and Cesena Sulphur Co. Ltd. v. Henry Nicholson, [1876] 1 TC 83 : [1876] 1 Ex D 428, now thirty years ago, involved the principle that a company resides for purposes of income-tax where its real business is carried on. Those decisions have been acted upon ever since. I regard that as the true rule; and the real business is carried on where the central management and control actually abides.” 9. Since that judgment, the words underlined have been taken as the test, although central management and control has sometimes been stated in the form “head, seat and directing power”. The question depends on the fact of the management and not on the physical situation of the thing that is managed. A company is managed by the board of directors and if the meetings of the board of directors are held within India, it may be said that the central control and management is situated here. The direction, management and control “the head and seat and directing power” of a company’s affairs is, therefore, situate at the place where the directors’ meetings are held and, consequently, a non-Indian company would be a resident in this country if the meetings of the directors who manage and control the business are held here. The word “affairs” means affairs which are relevant for the purpose of the I.T. Act and which have some relation to the income sought to be assessed. It is not the bare possession of powers by the directors, but their taking part in or controlling the affairs relating to the trading, that is of importance in determining the question of the place where the control is exercised. They must exercise their power of control in relation to business or activity wherefrom the profit is derived. (See Egyptian Hotels Ltd. v. Mitchell, [1915] 6 TC 542 (HL)).” v) In the case of Nandlal Gandalal (supra), this Court has held that the expression “control and management” in Section 4A(b) of the Income Tax Act, 1922, means de facto control and management and not merely the right or power to control and manage. 8. The sum and substance of the above decisions of this Court as well as various High Courts would be that where the head and seat and directing power of the affairs of the company and the control and management is must be shown is not merely theoretical control and power, i.e., not de jure control and power, but de facto control and power actually exercised in the course of the conduct and management of the affairs of the firm; that the domicile or the registration of the company is not at all relevant and the determinate test is where the sole right to manage and control of the company lies. 9. Applying the above principles of law to the facts of the case at hand, and the findings recorded by the AO, confirmed by the CIT(A), it is rightly concluded that the control and management of the affairs of the respective assessees were with Rattan Gupta, Chartered Accountant in Delhi. The findings of fact recorded by the AO, confirmed by the CIT(A) that the control and management of the affairs of the assessee companies was with Rattan Gupta are based on the entire material on record. In light of the aforesaid findings, the High Court has not committed any error in reversing the contrary findings recorded by the ITAT and it is rightly observed and held that service of notice upon Rattan Gupta treating him as the principal officer and/or as a principal officer for and on behalf of the assessee companies were valid notices and the High Court has rightly held that the AO at New Delhi was having the jurisdiction to issue notice under the Income Tax Act, 1961. 10. Insofar as the case on behalf of the respective assessees that the entire income was earned in Sikkim by way of commission on sale of cardamom and therefore such income shall not be liable to be taxed under the Income Tax Act, 1961 is concerned, at the outset, it is required to be noted that there are concurrent findings recorded by the AO and the CIT(A), as approved by the High Court, that no income by way of commission, as claimed by the assessees, has been established and proved by the assessees. In fact, the AO issued notices/summons to different persons who had allegedly paid amounts as commission, however, those persons had not responded. Therefore, the AO as such has rightly drawn an adverse inference. At this stage, it is required to be noted that as such the assessees did not produce any worthwhile evidence to prove the genuineness of the commission received. Despite the above, the ITAT reversed the findings of fact recorded by the AO and the CIT(A) by observing that the AO did not proceed further (after issuing the summons/notices) and that since no adverse material has been brought on record the AO could not have proceeded to draw an adverse inference as the burden was heavy on the revenue. Once, the AO issued summons to those who had allegedly paid the commission to the assessees and the summons were issued under Section 131 which were not complied with and it was the assertion on behalf of the respective assessees that they earned the income of commission within Sikkim, the burden to prove the same was upon the assessees. Under the circumstances, the ITAT wrongly and erroneously shifted the burden upon the AO to prove the contrary. Therefore, in absence of any material on record that the commission was earned only in Gangtok, the assessees cannot be permitted to say that they were liable to pay the tax under the Sikkim Manual, 1948 and not under the Income Tax Act, 1961. It appears that the assessees with mala fide intention and to evade the payment of tax under the Income Tax Act, 1961 came out with a case that they earned the income within Sikkim, which has not been established and proved. It was a clear attempt on the part of the respective assessees to wriggle out of the clutches of the Income Tax Act, 1961. 11. As regards the submission on behalf of the respective assessees that as there was no original assessment under the Income Tax Act, 1961, there could not have been the re-assessment under sections 147/148 of the Act, 1961 is concerned, the same has no substance in view of the binding decision of this Court in the case of Sun Engineering Works P. Ltd. (supra). In paragraph 14 of the said decision, it is observed and held as under: “14…………. Thus, under Section 147, the assessing officer has been vested with the power to ‘assess or reassess’ the escaped income of an assessee. The use of the expression “assess or reassess such income or recompute the loss or depreciation allowance” in Section 147 after the conditions for reassessment are satisfied, is only relatable to the preceding expression in clauses (a) and (b) viz., “escaped assessment”. The term “escaped assessment” includes both “non-assessment” as well as “under assessment”. Income is said to have “escaped assessment” within the meaning of this section when it has not been charged in the hands of an assessee in the relevant year of assessment. The expression “assess” refers to a situation where the assessment of the assessee for a particular year is, for the first time, made by resorting to the provisions of Section 147 because the assessment had not been made in the regular manner under the Act. The expression “reassess” refers to a situation where an assessment has already been made but the Income Tax Officer has, on the basis of information in his possession, reason to believe that there has been under assessment on account of the existence of any of the grounds contemplated by the provisions of Section 147(b) read with the Explanation (1) thereto.” 12. Insofar as the submission on behalf of the respective assessees regarding levy of interest and the submission on behalf of the assessees that in absence of any specific order passed in the assessment order to levy interest, the interest could not have been levied, is concerned, the said issue as such is concluded against the assessees in view of the Constitution Bench decision of this Court in the case of Anjum M.H. Ghaswala (supra) as well as the subsequent decision in the case of Karanvir Singh Gossal (supra). The ITAT relied upon the decision of the Patna High Court in the case of Ranchi Club Ltd. (supra), however, the decision of the Patna High Court in the case of Ranchi Club Ltd. (supra) is held to be not good law, in view of the Constitution Bench decision of this Court in the case of Anjum M.H. Ghaswala (supra). 12.1 In the case of Anjum M.H. Ghaswala (supra), while dealing with the interest under the provisions of Sections 234A, 234B and 234C of the Income Tax Act, 1961, it is observed and held that the interest contemplated under the said provisions is mandatory in nature and the power of waiver or reduction has not been expressly conferred on the Commission. The same indicates that insofar as the payment of statutory interest is concerned, the same is outside the purview of the settlement contemplated in Chapter XIX-A of the Act. In the present case also, the levy of interest under Section 234A for default in furnishing the return of income is mandatory and automatic. Section 234A of the Act provides that where the return of income for any assessment year is furnished after the due date or is not furnished, the assessee shall be liable to pay simple interest. Thus, interest under section 234A is statutory interest leviable and payable and therefore the decision of this Court in the case of Anjum M.H. Ghaswala (supra) shall be applicable with full force. Therefore, when the interest is levied as per the workings mentioned in ITNS 150 which is forming part of the assessment order, it is rightly held to be sufficient and good enough to charging interest. (See decision of this Court in the case of Bhagat Construction Company Private Limited (supra)). 13. As regards the submission on behalf of the assessees that no substantial question of law was framed on levy of interest, at the outset, it is required to be noted that both the parties made submissions on levy of interest elaborately which have been dealt with and considered by the High Court in light of the Constitution Bench decision of this Court in the case of Anjum M.H. Ghaswala (supra). Even otherwise, the said issue can be said to be incidental or collateral. Even otherwise, in view of the decision of this Court in the case of Anjum M.H. Ghaswala (supra) holding that the levy of interest under Section 234A is statutory interest and mandatory and automatic, thereafter the said issue cannot be said to be a question of law. Conclusion: 14. In view of the above and for the reasons stated above and the findings recorded by the AO, CIT(A), confirmed by the High Court, it cannot be said that the High Court has committed any error in upsetting the findings recorded by the ITAT. We are in complete agreement with the view taken by the AO, CIT(A) and the High Court on all issues including the issue of control and management of the affairs of the assessee companies by Rattan Gupta from Delhi; jurisdiction of the AO at New Delhi; applicability of the Income Tax Act, 1961; that the assessees did not prove that the income was earned by way of commission in Sikkim and therefore the tax was not liable to be paid under the Income Tax Act, 1961 and was liable to be paid under the Sikkim Manual, 1948. We are also in agreement with the view taken by the High Court on levy of interest in view of the binding decision of the Constitution Bench in the case of Anjum M.H. Ghaswala (supra), which has been subsequently followed in the case of Karanvir Singh Gossal (supra). 15. In view of the above and for the reasons stated above, the present appeals fail and the same deserve to be dismissed and are accordingly dismissed. However, in the facts and circumstances of the case, there shall be no order as to costs.",1

CNN —

The Biden administration plans to maintain refugee admissions to the United States at 125,000, according to a draft report obtained by CNN, and admit a larger share of refugees from the Western Hemisphere amid unprecedented movement in the region.

The upcoming year’s proposed refugee ceiling underscores the unique challenges the administration faces in Latin America, where people – fleeing deteriorating conditions exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic – have migrated in record numbers to the US-Mexico border.

The proposed changes would provide a legal avenue for migrants to come to the US, without journeying to the southern border.

The State Department has proposed admitting between 35,000 to 50,000 refugees from Latin America/the Caribbean in fiscal year 2024, according to the draft report. That’s up from 15,000 in fiscal year 2023, though only around 5,500 refugees from that region have been resettled in the US as of August 31, according to federal data.

The refugee ceiling dictates how many refugees can be admitted to the US, but the administration doesn’t have to hit that number. Last year, Biden set the number at 125,000. Officials will fall short of that goal, but a recent uptick in admissions has fueled renewed optimism in the program among refugee advocates.

The US had for years outpaced other countries in refugee admissions, allowing millions into the country since the Refugee Act of 1980. But the program took a hit under former President Donald Trump, who slashed the number of refugees allowed to come to the US, and during the coronavirus pandemic, which resulted in a temporary suspension of resettlements.

In a statement marking World Refugee Day this year, Biden underscored his administration’s efforts to rebuild the admissions program and said the US planned to welcome 125,000 refugees next year.

“Welcoming refugees is part of who we are as Americans – our nation was founded by those fleeing religious persecution. When we take action to help refugees around the world, and include them, we honor this past and are stronger for it,” Biden said.

A new initiative by the Biden administration to partner with international organizations to establish brick-and-mortar processing centers, known as Safe Mobility Offices, will play a role in referring migrants with protection needs to the US Refugee Admissions Program.

The offices are in Colombia, Costa Rica and Guatemala. A web portal is already available for people to register and apply for programs before going to an office.

And, in a first, Mexico will process Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans who are already in Mexico and eligible for the so-called P2 designation, which applies to “groups of special concern designated by the Department of State as having access to the program by virtue of their circumstances and apparent need for resettlement.”

To increase the number of admissions from Latin America, the State Department cut allocations for Europe and Central Asia from 15,000 to between 2,000 and 3,000, according to the draft report. In fiscal year 2023, nearly 3,000 refugees from that region are expected to be resettled in the US. Ukrainians have the ability to apply for parole to come to the US, which is separate from the refugee program.

The refugee cap requires consultation with Congress before the end of the fiscal year, which ends Saturday. Senior administration officials are expected to meet with lawmakers this week.

The refugee admissions process is arduous and can take years to complete. As of August 31, the US admitted 51,231 refugees this year, according to the latest federal data. While far short of the 125,000 ceiling, admissions since last October are more than double all of fiscal year 2022.

Refugee advocates credit Biden administration efforts to address bottlenecks in the system, as well as a new program that allows groups of private citizens to sponsor refugees from around the world, for the uptick in admissions over recent months.

“This coming fiscal year feels like a transition from an aspirational target to a realistic expectation,” Krish O’Mara Vignarajah, president and CEO of Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service, a refugee resettlement organization, previously told CNN.

There are more than 35 million refugees worldwide, according to the United Nations refugee agency.",1

Johannesburg, South Africa – For years, Freeman Bhengu tried to earn a living in Soweto, the township on the outskirts of the country’s commercial capital, Johannesburg, where he grew up. He wired houses, he helped renovate them and he even managed the local football talent. But nothing stuck.

On June 16, 2021, Bhengu, then 45, took a nine-hour bus trip from Hanover, a town in the Northern Cape province, to Soweto. He was eager to attend the launch of Operation Dudula, a grassroots movement lobbying against undocumented African migrants.

Dudula means “push out” in the Zulu language.

For years, people from neighbouring countries have come to Africa’s most industrialised economy seeking economic prosperity. Many are Black, like most of South Africa, where the 7.7 percent white minority still control the levers of wealth.

During the last two decades, tensions have arisen between Black South Africans and these migrants. Locals say they have taken jobs that should belong to them and have accused many migrants of running thriving drug trades within townships.

Dale McKinley, a spokesperson for the advocacy group Kopanang Africa Against Xenophobia (KAAX), attributes the rise of anti-immigration sentiment to the “socioeconomic realities of the majority”.

Since 2021, about a third of South Africans have been unemployed.

“People are desperate, people are suffering and as a result, they turn to the most vulnerable, and the easiest targets, which are migrants, and particular, illegal migrants and those who don’t have documentation,” McKinley told Al Jazeera.

Against this backdrop, Bhengu joined hundreds of other disgruntled people at a community hall in Diepkloof, Soweto, for Operation Dudula’s launch.

June 16, celebrated in South Africa as Youth Day, is of particular significance in Soweto, a Black-majority community. On that day in 1976, police opened fire during a protest, killing 176 students according to official estimates.

But Nomzamo Zondo, executive director of the Johannesburg-based rights group, Socio-Economic Rights Insitute (SERI), says Operation Dudula members are “violence entrepreneurs” using history as a pretext to mobilise locals against vulnerable sections of society.

A new wave of xenophobia

The first significant wave of xenophobic attacks happened in May 2008 in Alexandra Township, which borders Sandton – the Johannesburg neighbourhood considered Africa’s richest square mile – and spread nationwide, killing 60 people.

Zimbabwean, Mozambican and Malawian migrants were accused of “stealing” jobs and social housing reserved for South Africans, and selling drugs in a country where statistics say drug use starts at age 12, on average.

Bhengu told Al Jazeera that he initially joined an online solidarity movement, Put South Africa First on X, formerly Twitter, during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Members were frustrated that migrant-run businesses were operating, even as locals were affected by the economic slowdown.

It morphed into Operation Dudula in June 2021, recruiting from disgruntled youth in the big cities. Many of its members are unemployed and some like Bhengu gave up looking for work to become full-time activists.

On its launch day, Operation Dudula targeted street hawkers of foreign origin in a search and seizure operation led by anti-immigrant activist Nhlanhla ‘Lux’ Dlamini. About 1,000 members also raided rumoured drug dens and evicted migrants suspected to be occupying social welfare houses illegally.

“We went to the Diepkloof post office and evicted illegal squatters there. We then went to the Diepkloof hostel to meet the truckers’ union. Our intelligence told us there were two houses illegally occupied by foreigners,” Bhengu told Al Jazeera.

Continued mistrust between locals and foreign migrants is “exacerbated by inflammatory narratives peddled by some influential public figures … and community members”, according to a 2023 study by the Institute for Security Studies (ISS).

“Young people credited [Operation Dudula] for being more effective than the government in ousting undocumented migrants. They added that community protests and marches involving the looting of migrant-owned businesses are also justified to the extent that they are provoked by illegal business ownership by migrants,” the report read.

Ringisai Chikohomero, the ISS researcher who authored the study, told Al Jazeera that locals and migrants within the townships have cultivated an interdependency as neighbours and co-workers, where every working migrant hires at least two locals. He argues that the government should create more opportunities for migrants and locals to interact.

According to an ISS study, only 6.7 percent of the population are migrants but they contribute as much as 9 per cent to GDP. Foreign nationals living in South Africa make a significant contribution to the economy, rather than being a burden, adds SERI director, Zondo.

Danmore Chuma, executive director of Chronicles of Refugees and Immigrants (ChRI), said that working migrants who commute back to neighbouring countries pay value-added tax on goods and poll tax on the roads.

He told Al Jazeera the media focus has been on “competition between poor migrants and poor locals” instead of the inefficiency of Home Affairs in issuing documents to migrants and refugees.

A new sphere of influence

In April 2022, President Cyril Ramaphosa condemned Operation Dudula as a “vigilante-like force” dividing Africans. However, the authorities have been seen as slow in tackling increasing mob justice.

Advocacy groups also allege that the police and Home Affairs Department collude with Operation Dudula in conducting raids.

The group recently joined Home Affairs in a lawsuit to prevent the extension of the Zimbabwean Exemption Permit (ZEP), which provides 178,000 Zimbabweans with residence visas in South Africa. The ZEP extension is set to expire on December 31, 2023.

Christopher Fisher, legal researcher at Johannesburg-based think tank, the Helen Suzman Foundation, said the group was “muddying the waters” by changing the focus of the ZEP case from due process owed to permit holders who have been in the country since 2009, to “illegal immigration”.

Police spokesperson Brigadier Athlenda Mathe told Al Jazeera the allegations of collusion by police were “baseless” and insisted that the police act within the law.

“We refute any allegations …that police officers are perpetuating and colluding with groups to exercise xenophobic attacks against foreigners or illegal immigrants in the country,” Mathe said.

In recent months, Operation Dudula has changed its strategy to gain more influence nationally ahead of the 2024 elections.

This May, Zandile Dabula, its former secretary-general, was elected leader of Operation Dudula after former leader Dlamini, who has received a two-year suspended sentence for housebreaking, cut ties with the group.

In August, it registered itself as a political party with the electoral commission and is currently conducting a membership audit.

Dabula says the party will push for the mass deportation of migrants and return to its original mandate of fighting for “COVID-19 front liners, essential workers and patrollers that [were] neglected and promised lies” by the government. These are the supporters it wants to attract to the party, the new leader says.

Analysts say the strategy is a populist one. But the new party’s leaders say they simply want to effect political change.",1

Sanral tenders: Chair not fazed by challenges to new scoring system

Sanral chair says it’s time for Africans, Indians and coloureds to benefit from massive infrastructure projects.

The South African National Roads Agency (Sanral) is undeterred by major construction companies’ high court challenge of its new procurement system.

In an address at an event to celebrate Sanral’s 25th anniversary in Cape Town on Friday night, Sanral board chair Themba Mhambi said defiantly that the court action by the construction companies will not deter Sanral from pursuing real transformation of the sector.

Mhambi stressed that it is time for black South Africans – Africans, Indians and coloureds – who had previously been excluded from benefitting from massive infrastructure projects to benefit alongside the well-established industry players.

However, Mhambi said contrary to media reports, Sanral does not want to destroy the major construction companies but will support and strengthen them while also pushing them to transform.

‘Don’t believe the lies’

“We are going to damage Sanral if we destroy the big construction companies we have in South Africa, like WBHO, Murray & Roberts, Haw and Inglis (H&I), and so on,” said Mhambi.

“If we destroy them, we will be destroying Sanral and South Africa.

“Therefore, don’t believe all the lies that are told that we want to kill these construction companies.

“We don’t want to do that. We want to support them. We want to strengthen them to get more business but there is one condition. That condition is that they must understand that South Africa belongs to all who live in it, black and white,” he said.

Mhambi stressed that those people who have in the past been excluded from benefitting from road construction, bridge building, pavements, manufacturing of guard rails, and the production of asphalt must now benefit as well.

He said that is the condition – and that the condition does not come from anywhere other than the Constitution of South Africa.

“When these millionaire and billionaire companies say to us ‘we are going to take you to court Sanral because you are depriving us of the millions and billions that we are making alone’ I understand what they are saying, because you can’t be a millionaire or billionaire by sharing” he said.

“They are going to resist sharing.”

Mhambi’s comments follow two construction companies independently of each other obtaining high court interim interdicts stopping Sanral from implementing a controversial new scoring system for some of its tenders pending the finalisation of applications to review and set aside the new system.

Interdicts

The High Court in Gqeberha granted H&I Construction an interdict stopping Sanral from proceeding with the adjudication and award of two specific tenders in accordance with the amended tender scoring system as advertised by Sanral on 19 May 2023 in an addendum to its tender document.

Nine construction companies submitted affidavits in support of H&I’s application, including Stefanutti Stocks, Power Construction and Baseline Civil Contractors.

The High Court in Pretoria granted construction and infrastructure company SMEC South Africa an interim interdict stopping Sanral from proceeding with and/or implementing and/or giving effect to the outcome of the tender adjudication process related to a list of 65 bids to tender invitations.

ALSO READ: Sanral’s new tender scoring system interdicted

H&I Construction argued that Sanral’s new scoring system is unconstitutional and irrational and the changes to the scoring system were introduced without consulting those directly affected by it and is therefore reviewable both on grounds of legality and in terms of the Promotion of Administrative Justice Act (Paja).

Legal position

Judge Nyameko Gqamana, in the High Court in Gqeberha, accepted that Sanral is empowered in terms of the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act (PPPFA) to determine its own preferential policies and has a discretion to make its own policy choices regarding the specific goals it wishes to pursue.

The judge said the transformation agenda by Sanral to ensure broader black participation is commendable, a step in the right direction, and long overdue – but the policy has to be fair, lawful and rational.

“What troubles me more is that the changes to the scoring system [were] introduced without consultation,” said Judge Gqamana.

SMEC SA said the new scoring system renders the Broad-based Black Economic Empowerment Act (B-BBEE) a nullity and compliance with the PPPFA is undermined because compliance now only amounts to a fraction of the points.

The company said all the money companies spent to obtain a high B-BBEE score would now also mean nothing.

The company, which had been worth $3.8 billion in late 2022 and counted the U.S. military among its biggest clients, filed for Chapter 11 this week.Hart, a former Boeing veteran, did not respond to a request for comment on the talks with Brown. Virgin Group , which owns 75% of Virgin Orbit, also declined to comment for this article. The group is providing financing to Virgin Orbit as the satellite launch company seeks a buyer in bankruptcy.The legal notice was in response to an interview Brown gave on CNBC on March 23 when he said he was in ""final discussions"" to close a $200 million investment in Virgin Orbit within 24 hours. The letter from a lawyer for the company said Brown had overstated the nature of talks and breached a non-disclosure agreement.Virgin Orbit's cratering stock price bounced more than 60% on the day after Brown's CNBC appearance.The TV interview followed a report from Reuters that said Brown was nearing a deal for a proposed investment in the company, citing the term sheet signed by Hart and Brown and the planned closing date of March 24.When the company cut contact with Brown, on March 25, it had uncovered issues with Brown's credibility, the three people said. One said executives found evidence that contradicted details Brown had provided about his background.In interviews with Reuters over the past week, Brown dismissed accusations he had misrepresented himself. He said Virgin Orbit had not provided information he had wanted before he was comfortable transferring the $200 million into an escrow account as agreed in the term sheet. Brown did not specify the information he had sought and Reuters was unable to independently verify his assertion.""I absolutely, 100%, had the money,"" Brown added.Reuters found apparent discrepancies in several key elements of assertions made by Brown on CNBC or on LinkedIn about the companies where he says he had worked, his investments and associates.Brown told Reuters he had no shares in Virgin Orbit and had not profited from taking his bid public and the short-lived stock price jump that followed. The company's bankruptcy filing on Tuesday showed a ""Matthew Brown"" as holding 238 shares at the time of the filing. Those shares were worth $48 on Thursday.Brown said the listed investor was a different Matthew Brown.Reuters could not find corporate registrations for two companies where Brown said on LinkedIn he had been an adviser or partner: Hong Kong-based Hogshead Spouter and Hawaii-based Kona Private Capital.Brown told Reuters he worked through offshore entities, without providing details. He said he did not know where Kona and Hogshead were registered.In his CNBC interview, Brown said he had worked with OpenAI. An OpenAI spokesperson said it had never worked with him.Asked about this, Brown told Reuters he structured deals to protect investor confidentiality with a preference for ""laying low below the radar.""At the time of his Virgin Orbit approach, Brown's LinkedIn page included an endorsement from Dan McDermott, identified as a former colleague at Hogshead Spouter and as a former official with the Hong Kong Monetary Authority. The central bank said it had no record of having employed McDermott.Contacted by LinkedIn, McDermott declined to answer questions about his background.Brown said he had worked for Woods Family Office , a Houston-based private wealth firm, from 2008 to 2021, beginning at the age of 18 in the role of CEO managing $6 billion then as a senior adviser. The family office, whose website identifies Eric Woods as the principal, did not reply to a request for comment.When queried about his firm via LinkedIn, Eric Woods said: ""I have nothing to say and my family office doesn't either."" He added: ""While Matt is an adviser, we're not affiliated with Matt's purchase of Virgin, which I assume this is about.""Following a Reuters inquiry to LinkedIn about whether Woods' and McDermott's accounts were genuine, both accounts were taken down. LinkedIn declined to discuss the specific cases but said its policy was to remove accounts it found to be fraudulent.Brown said he couldn't speak for the two men or address why their LinkedIn accounts had been suspended. He added Woods was ""a great man and a very successful man"" and ""from what I remember of Dan, incredible human being.""Brown told Reuters he was a producer on a 2009 documentary, ""Loose Change"", which suggested the 9/11 attacks were a conspiracy by the U.S. government.Korey Rowe and Dylan Avery, partners in the project, said they gave Brown a producing credit when the film was released. Brown had given Avery a camera, Avery told Reuters. Both Rowe and Avery said Brown failed to pay thousands of dollars in recording studio costs that he had verbally promised, and they cut his credit on later versions of the film.Brown said he provided a ""reasonable"" amount of funding and that his split with the two ""came down to a difference in personalities.""Virgin Orbit filed for bankruptcy on Tuesday. It never recovered from a failed January mission that sent a payload of satellites into the ocean.It was a juddering comedown for a company which British billionaire Branson split off from his space tourism firm Virgin Galactic in 2017 with hopes of challenging Elon Musk's SpaceX.Virgin Group had provided secured loans to the company but no new equity as the unit's cash dwindled.

For the food delivery service, see Instacart Instagram, LLC[6][a] is a photo and video sharing social networking service owned by American company Meta Platforms. The app allows users to upload media that can be edited with filters, be organized by hashtags, and be associated with a location — via geographical tagging. Posts can be shared publicly or with preapproved followers. Users can browse other users' content by tags and locations, view trending content, like photos, and follow other users to add their content to a personal feed.[8] Instagram was originally distinguished by allowing content to be framed only in a square (1:1) aspect ratio of 640 pixels to match the display width of the iPhone at the time. In 2015, this restriction was eased with an increase to 1080 pixels. It also added messaging features, the ability to include multiple images or videos in a single post, and a Stories feature—similar to its main competitor Snapchat—which allowed users to post their content to a sequential feed, with each post accessible to others for 24 hours. As of January 2019, Stories is used by 500 million people daily.[8] Originally launched for iOS in October 2010 by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger, Instagram rapidly gained popularity, with one million registered users in two months, 10 million in a year, and 1 billion by June 2018. In April 2012, Facebook Inc. acquired the service for approximately US$1 billion in cash and stock (equivalent to $1,184,000,000 in 2021). The Android version was released in April 2012, followed by a feature-limited desktop interface in November 2012, a Fire OS app in June 2014, and an app for Windows 10 in October 2016. As of October 2015 , over 40 billion photos had been uploaded. Although often admired for its success and influence, Instagram has also been criticized for negatively affecting teens' mental health, its policy and interface changes, its alleged censorship, and illegal and inappropriate content uploaded by users. History For a chronological guide, see Timeline of Instagram Instagram icon from 2016 to 2022, when it was updated to include even more saturated colors Instagram began development in San Francisco as Burbn, a mobile check-in app created by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger. On March 5, 2010, Systrom closed a $500,000 (equivalent to $615,400 in 2021) seed funding round with Baseline Ventures and Andreessen Horowitz while working on Burbn.[9][10] Realizing that it was too similar to Foursquare, they refocused their app on photo-sharing, which had become a popular feature among its users.[11][12] They renamed it Instagram, a portmanteau of ""instant camera"" and ""telegram"".[13] 2010–2011: Beginnings and major funding Josh Riedel joined the company in October as Community Manager,[14] Shayne Sweeney joined in November as an engineer,[14] and Jessica Zollman joined as a Community Evangelist in August 2011.[14][15] The first Instagram post was a photo of South Beach Harbor at Pier 38, posted by Mike Krieger at 5:26 p.m. on July 16, 2010.[16][12] Systrom shared his first post, a picture of a dog and his girlfriend's foot, a few hours later at 9:24 p.m. It has been wrongly attributed as the first Instagram photo due to the earlier letter of the alphabet in its URL.[17][18][better source needed] On October 6, 2010, the Instagram iOS app was officially released through the App Store. In February 2011, it was reported that Instagram had raised $7 million (equivalent to $8,441,218 in 2021) in Series A funding from a variety of investors, including Benchmark Capital, Jack Dorsey, Chris Sacca (through Capital fund), and Adam D'Angelo.[19] The deal valued Instagram at around $20 million. In April 2012, Instagram raised $50 million (equivalent to $59,190,000 in 2021) from venture capitalists with a valuation of $500 million (equivalent to $591,900,000 in 2021).[20] Joshua Kushner was the second largest investor in Instagram's Series B fundraising round, leading his investment firm, Thrive Capital, to double its money after the sale to Facebook.[21] On April 3, 2012, Instagram released a version of its app for Android phones,[22][23] and it was downloaded more than one million times in less than one day.[24] The Android app has since received two significant updates: first, in March 2014, which cut the file size of the app by half and added performance improvements;[25][26] then in April 2017, to add an offline mode that allows users to view and interact with content without an Internet connection. At the time of the announcement, it was reported that 80% of Instagram's 600 million users were located outside the U.S., and while the aforementioned functionality was live at its announcement, Instagram also announced its intention to make more features available offline, and that they were ""exploring an iOS version"".On April 9, 2012, Facebook, Inc. (now Meta Platforms) bought Instagram for $1 billion in cash and stockequivalent to $1,184,000,000 in 2021, [27][28][29] with a plan to keep the company independently managed.[30][31][32] Britain's Office of Fair Trading approved the deal on August 14, 2012,[33] and on August 22, 2012, the Federal Trade Commission in the U.S. closed its investigation, allowing the deal to proceed.[34] On September 6, 2012, the deal between Instagram and Facebook officially closed with a purchase price of $300 million in cash and 23 million shares of stock.[35] The deal closed just before Facebook's scheduled initial public offering according to CNN.[32] The deal price was compared to the $35 million Yahoo! paid for Flickr in 2005.[32] Mark Zuckerberg said Facebook was ""committed to building and growing Instagram independently.""[32] According to Wired, the deal netted Systrom $400 million.[36] In November 2012, Instagram launched website profiles, allowing anyone to see user feeds from a web browser with limited functionality,[37] as well as a selection of badges, and web widget buttons to link to profiles.[38] Since the app's launch it had used the Foursquare API technology to provide named location tagging. In March 2014, Instagram started to test and switch the technology to use Facebook Places.[39][40] 2015–2017: Redesign and Windows app Instagram headquarters in Menlo Park In June 2015, the desktop website user interface was redesigned to become more flat and minimalistic, but with more screen space for each photo and to resemble the layout of Instagram's mobile website.[41][42][43] Furthermore, one row of pictures only has three instead of five photos to match the mobile layout. The slideshow banner[44][45] on the top of profile pages, which simultaneously slide-showed seven picture tiles of pictures posted by the user, alternating at different times in a random order, has been removed. In addition, the formerly angular profile pictures became circular. In April 2016, Instagram released a Windows 10 Mobile app, after years of demand from Microsoft and the public to release an app for the platform.[46][47] The platform previously had a beta version of Instagram, first released on November 21, 2013, for Windows Phone 8.[48][49][50] The new app added support for videos (viewing and creating posts or stories, and viewing live streams), album posts and direct messages.[51] Similarly, an app for Windows 10 personal computers and tablets was released in October 2016.[52][53] In May, Instagram updated its mobile website to allow users to upload photos, and to add a ""lightweight"" version of the Explore tab.[54][55] On May 11, 2016, Instagram revamped its design, adding a black-and-white flat design theme for the app's user interface, and a less skeuomorphistic, more abstract, ""modern"" and colorful icon.[56][57][58] Rumors of a redesign first started circulating in April, when The Verge received a screenshot from a tipster, but at the time, an Instagram spokesperson simply told the publication that it was only a concept.[59] On December 6, 2016, Instagram introduced comment liking. However, unlike post likes, the user who posted a comment does not receive notifications about comment likes in their notification inbox. Uploaders can optionally decide to deactivate comments on a post.[60][61][62] The mobile web front end allows uploading pictures since May 4, 2017. Image filters and the ability to upload videos were not introduced then.[63][64] On April 30, 2019, the Windows 10 Mobile app was discontinued, though the mobile website remains available as a progressive web application (PWA) with limited functionality. The app remains available on Windows 10 computers and tablets, also updated to a PWA in 2020. 2018–2019: IGTV, removal of the like counter, management changes To comply with the GDPR regulations regarding data portability, Instagram introduced the ability for users to download an archive of their user data in April 2018.[65][66][67] IGTV launched on June 20, 2018, as a standalone video application. On September 24, 2018, Krieger and Systrom announced in a statement they would be stepping down from Instagram.[68][69] On October 1, 2018, it was announced that Adam Mosseri would be the new head of Instagram.[70][71][72] During Facebook F8, it was announced that Instagram would, beginning in Canada, pilot the removal of publicly displayed ""like"" counts for content posted by other users.[73] Like counts would only be visible to the user who originally posted the content. Mosseri stated that this was intended to have users ""worry a little bit less about how many likes they're getting on Instagram and spend a bit more time connecting with the people that they care about.""[74][75] It has been argued that low numbers of likes in relativity to others could contribute to a lower self-esteem in users.[75][73] The pilot began in May 2019, and was extended to 6 other markets in July.[75][76] The pilot was expanded worldwide in November 2019.[77] Also in July 2019, Instagram announced that it would implement new features designed to reduce harassment and negative comments on the service.[78] In August 2019, Instagram also began to pilot the removal of the ""Following"" tab from the app, which had allowed users to view a feed of the likes and comments made by users they follow. The change was made official in October, with head of product Vishal Shah stating that the feature was underused and that some users were ""surprised"" when they realized their activity was being surfaced in this manner.[79][80] In October 2019, Instagram introduced a limit on the number of posts visible in page scrolling mode unless logged in. Until this point, public profiles had been available to all users, even when not logged in. Following the change, after viewing a number of posts a pop-up requires the user to log in to continue viewing content.[81][82][83] That month, Instagram launched a separate app known as Threads. Similar to Snapchat, the app allowed users to communicate through messaging and video chats.[84] It was integrated with Instagram's ""Close friends"" feature, so that users could send images, photos, and texts privately to others, and also had Instagram's photo editing system embedded into the app.[85][86] However, Instagram discontinued this version of Threads in December 2021,[87] mainly due to most of its features being rolled out on Instagram itself, as well as low usage compared to other social media applications.[88] Threads was not well-received among Instagram's user base. Since its launch, only approximately 220,000 users globally downloaded the app, which represented less than 0.1% of Instagram's monthly active users, indicating a lack of success in driving adoption.[89] 2020–present: New features In March 2020, Instagram launched a new feature called ""Co-Watching"". The new feature allows users to share posts with each other over video calls. According to Instagram, they pushed forward the launch of Co-Watching in order to meet the demand for virtually connecting with friends and family due to social distancing as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.[90] In August 2020, Instagram began a pivot to video, introducing a new feature called ""Reels"".[91][92][93] The intent was to compete with the video-sharing site TikTok.[93][94][91] Instagram also added suggested posts in August 2020. After scrolling through posts from the past 48 hours, Instagram displays posts related to their interests from accounts they do not follow.[95] In February 2021, Instagram began testing a new feature called Vertical Stories, said by some sources to be inspired by TikTok.[96] The same month, they also began testing the removal of ability to share feed posts to stories.[97] In March 2021, Instagram launched a new feature in which four people can go live at once.[98] Instagram also announced that adults would not be allowed to message teens who don't follow them as part of a series of new child safety policies.[99][100][101][102] In May 2021, Instagram began allowing users in some regions to add pronouns to their profile page.[103][104] On October 4, 2021, Meta services suffered their worst outage since 2008, bringing down Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp.[105][106] Security experts identified the problem as possibly being DNS-related.[107] On March 17, 2022, Zuckerberg confirmed plans to add non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to the platform. In September 2022, Ireland's Data Protection Commission fined the company $402 million under privacy laws recently adopted by the European Union over how it handled the privacy data of minors.[108][109][110] After being trialled in mid-2022,[111] Instagram introduced Notes in December 2022. This feature allows users to share updates as short text posts of up to 60 characters with certain people, who can then reply to them using messaging on Instagram.[112][113] In February 2023, Instagram introduced a new feature allowing users to browse and post GIFs in their comments.[114] That same month, Zuckerberg announced that Meta would start selling blue ""verified"" badges on Instagram and Facebook.[115] On July 5, 2023, Meta launched Threads, a social network platform connected to Instagram that allows users to make public shortform blog posts comprising text, photos, and videos, as well as to converse with other users and reblog other users' posts. Threads aims to compete with Twitter.[116][117][118] An original photograph (left) is automatically cropped to a square by Instagram, and has a filter added at the selection of the user (right). A photo collage of an unprocessed image (top left) modified with the 16 different Instagram filters available in 2011 Users can upload photographs and short videos, follow other users' feeds,[119] and geotag images with the name of a location.[120] Users can set their account as ""private"", thereby requiring that they approve any new follower requests.[121] Users can connect their Instagram account to other social networking sites, enabling them to share uploaded photos to those sites.[122] In September 2011, a new version of the app included new and live filters, instant tilt–shift, high-resolution photographs, optional borders, one-click rotation, and an updated icon.[123][124] Photos were initially restricted to a square, 1:1 aspect ratio; since August 2015, the app supports portrait and widescreen aspect ratios as well.[125][126][127] Users could formerly view a map of a user's geotagged photos. The feature was removed in September 2016, citing low usage.[128][129] Since December 2016, posts can be ""saved"" into a private area of the app.[130][131] The feature was updated in April 2017 to let users organize saved posts into named collections.[132][133] Users can also ""archive"" their posts in a private storage area, out of visibility for the public and other users. The move was seen as a way to prevent users from deleting photos that don't garner a desired number of ""likes"" or are deemed boring, but also as a way to limit the ""emergent behavior"" of deleting photos, which deprives the service of content.[134][135] In August, Instagram announced that it would start organizing comments into threads, letting users more easily interact with replies.[136][137] Since February 2017, up to ten pictures or videos can be included in a single post, with the content appearing as a swipeable carousel.[138][139] The feature originally limited photos to the square format, but received an update in August to enable portrait and landscape photos instead.[140][141] In April 2018, Instagram launched its version of a portrait mode called ""focus mode,"" which gently blurs the background of a photo or video while keeping the subject in focus when selected.[142] In November, Instagram began to support Alt text to add descriptions of photos for the visually impaired. They are either generated automatically using object recognition (using existing Facebook technology) or manually specified by the uploader.[143] On March 1, 2021, Instagram launched a new feature named Instagram Live ""Rooms"" Let Four People Go Live Together.[144] In May 2021, Instagram announced a new accessibility feature for videos on Instagram Reels and Stories to allow creators to place closed captions on their content.[145] In January 2011, Instagram introduced hashtags to help users discover both photos and each other.[146][147] Instagram encourages users to make tags both specific and relevant, rather than tagging generic words like ""photo"", to make photographs stand out and to attract like-minded Instagram users.[148] Users on Instagram have created ""trends"" through hashtags. The trends deemed the most popular on the platform often highlight a specific day of the week to post the material on. Examples of popular trends include #SelfieSunday, in which users post a photo of their faces on Sundays; #MotivationMonday, in which users post motivational photos on Mondays; #TransformationTuesday, in which users post photos highlighting differences from the past to the present; #WomanCrushWednesday, in which users post photos of women they have a romantic interest in or view favorably, as well as its #ManCrushMonday counterpart centered on men; and #ThrowbackThursday, in which users post a photo from their past, highlighting a particular moment.[149][150] In December 2017, Instagram began to allow users to follow hashtags, which display relevant highlights of the topic in their feeds.[151][152] Explore In June 2012, Instagram introduced ""Explore"", a tab inside the app that displays popular photos, photos taken at nearby locations, and search.[153] The tab was updated in June 2015 to feature trending tags and places, curated content, and the ability to search for locations.[154] In April 2016, Instagram added a ""Videos You Might Like"" channel to the tab,[155][156] followed by an ""Events"" channel in August, featuring videos from concerts, sports games, and other live events,[157][158] followed by the addition of Instagram Stories in October.[159][160] The tab was later expanded again in November 2016 after Instagram Live launched to display an algorithmically curated page of the ""best"" Instagram Live videos currently airing.[161] In May 2017, Instagram once again updated the Explore tab to promote public Stories content from nearby places.[162] Photographic filters Instagram offers a number of photographic filters that users can apply to their images. In February 2012, Instagram added a ""Lux"" filter, an effect that ""lightens shadows, darkens highlights and increases contrast"".[163][164] In December 2014, Slumber, Crema, Ludwig, Aden, and Perpetua were five new filters to be added to the Instagram filter family.[165] Video Initially a purely photo-sharing service, Instagram incorporated 15-second video sharing in June 2013.[166][167] The addition was seen by some in the technology media as Facebook's attempt at competing with the then-popular video-sharing application Vine.[168][169] In August 2015, Instagram added support for widescreen videos.[170][171] In March 2016, Instagram increased the 15-second video limit to 60 seconds.[172][173] Albums were introduced in February 2017, which allow up to 10 minutes of video to be shared in one post.[138][139][174] IGTV IGTV is a vertical video application launched by Instagram[175] in June 2018. Basic functionality is also available within the Instagram app and website. IGTV allows uploads of up to 10 minutes in length with a file size of up to 650 MB, with verified and popular users allowed to upload videos of up to 60 minutes in length with a file size of up to 5.4 GB.[176] The app automatically begins playing videos as soon as it is launched, which CEO Kevin Systrom contrasted to video hosts where one must first locate a video.[177][178][179] Reels In November 2019, it was reported that Instagram had begun to pilot a new video feature known as ""Reels"" in Brazil, expanding to France and Germany afterwards.[180] It is similar in functionality to the Chinese video-sharing service TikTok, with a focus on allowing users to record short videos set to pre-existing sound clips from other posts.[181] Users could make up to 15 (later 30) second videos using this feature.[182] Reels also integrates with existing Instagram filters and editing tools.[176] In July 2020, Instagram rolled out Reels to India after TikTok was banned in the country.[183] The following month, Reels officially launched in 50 countries including the United States, Canada and United Kingdom.[184] Instagram has recently introduced a reel button on home page.[185] On June 17, 2021, Instagram launched full-screen advertisements in Reels. The ads are similar to regular reels and can run up to 30 seconds. They are distinguished from regular content by the ""sponsored"" tag under the account name.[186] Despite the ""TikTokification"" of Reels and the parent company Meta spending millions on courting content creators, user engagement continued to lag far behind TikTok as of 2022.[187] Instagram Direct In December 2013, Instagram announced Instagram Direct, a feature that lets users interact through private messaging. Users who follow each other can send private messages with photos and videos, in contrast to the public-only requirement that was previously in place. When users receive a private message from someone they don't follow, the message is marked as pending and the user must accept to see it. Users can send a photo to a maximum of 15 people.[188][189][190] The feature received a major update in September 2015, adding conversation threading and making it possible for users to share locations, hashtag pages, and profiles through private messages directly from the news feed. Additionally, users can now reply to private messages with text, emoji or by clicking on a heart icon. A camera inside Direct lets users take a photo and send it to the recipient without leaving the conversation.[191][192][193] A new update in November 2016 let users make their private messages ""disappear"" after being viewed by the recipient, with the sender receiving a notification if the recipient takes a screenshot.[194][195] In April 2017, Instagram redesigned Direct to combine all private messages, both permanent and ephemeral, into the same message threads.[196][197][198] In May, Instagram made it possible to send website links in messages, and also added support for sending photos in their original portrait or landscape orientation without cropping.[199][200] In April 2020, Direct became accessible from the Instagram website, allowing users to send direct messages from a web version using WebSocket technology.[201] In August 2020, Facebook started merging Instagram Direct into Facebook Messenger. After the update (which is rolled out to a segment of the user base) the Instagram Direct icon transforms into Facebook Messenger icon.[202] In March 2021, a feature was added that prevents adults from messaging users under 18 who do not follow them as part of a series of new child safety policies.[99][100][101] Instagram Stories In August 2016, Instagram launched Instagram Stories, a feature that allows users to take photos, add effects and layers, and add them to their Instagram story. Images uploaded to a user's story expire after 24 hours. The media noted the feature's similarities to Snapchat.[203][204] In response to criticism that it copied functionality from Snapchat, CEO Kevin Systrom told Recode that ""Day One: Instagram was a combination of Hipstamatic, Twitter [and] some stuff from Facebook like the 'Like' button. You can trace the roots of every feature anyone has in their app, somewhere in the history of technology"". Although Systrom acknowledged the criticism as ""fair"", Recode wrote that ""he likened the two social apps' common features to the auto industry: Multiple car companies can coexist, with enough differences among them that they serve different consumer audiences"". Systrom further stated that ""When we adopted [Stories], we decided that one of the really annoying things about the format is that it just kept going and you couldn't pause it to look at something, you couldn't rewind. We did all that, we implemented that."" He also told the publication that Snapchat ""didn't have filters, originally. They adopted filters because Instagram had filters and a lot of others were trying to adopt filters as well.""[205][206] In November, Instagram added live video functionality to Instagram Stories, allowing users to broadcast themselves live, with the video disappearing immediately after ending.[207][161] In January 2017, Instagram launched skippable ads, where five-second photo and 15-second video ads appear in-between different stories.[208][209][210] In April 2017, Instagram Stories incorporated augmented reality stickers, a ""clone"" of Snapchat's functionality.[211][212][210] In May 2017, Instagram expanded the augmented reality sticker feature to support face filters, letting users add specific visual features onto their faces.[213][214] Later in May, TechCrunch reported about tests of a Location Stories feature in Instagram Stories, where public Stories content at a certain location are compiled and displayed on a business, landmark or place's Instagram page.[215] A few days later, Instagram announced ""Story Search"", in which users can search for geographic locations or hashtags and the app displays relevant public Stories content featuring the search term.[162][216] In June 2017, Instagram revised its live-video functionality to allow users to add their live broadcast to their story for availability in the next 24 hours, or discard the broadcast immediately.[217] In July, Instagram started allowing users to respond to Stories content by sending photos and videos, complete with Instagram effects such as filters, stickers, and hashtags.[218][219] Stories were made available for viewing on Instagram's mobile and desktop websites in late August 2017.[220][221] On December 5, 2017, Instagram introduced ""Story Highlights"",[222] also known as ""Permanent Stories"", which are similar to Instagram Stories, but don't expire. They appear as circles below the profile picture and biography and are accessible from the desktop website as well. In June 2018, the daily active story users of Instagram had reached 400 million users, and monthly active users had reached 1 billion active users.[223] Advertising Emily White joined Instagram as Director of Business Operations in April 2013.[224][225] She stated in an interview with The Wall Street Journal in September 2013 that the company should be ready to begin selling advertising by September 2014 as a way to generate business from a popular entity that had not yet created profit for its parent company.[226] White left Instagram in December 2013 to join Snapchat.[227][228] In August 2014, James Quarles became Instagram's Global Head of Business and Brand Development, tasked with overseeing advertisement, sales efforts, and developing new ""monetization products"", according to a spokesperson.[229] In October 2013, Instagram announced that video and image ads would soon appear in feeds for users in the United States,[230][231] with the first image advertisements displaying on November 1, 2013.[232][233] Video ads followed nearly a year later on October 30, 2014.[234][235] In June 2014, Instagram announced the rollout of ads in the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia,[236] with ads starting to roll out that autumn.[237] In March 2015, Instagram announced it would implement ""carousel ads,"" allowing advertisers to display multiple images with options for linking to additional content.[238][239] The company launched carousel image ads in October 2015,[240][241] and video carousel ads in March 2016.[242] In February 2016, Instagram announced that it had 200,000 advertisers on the platform.[243] This number increased to 500,000 by September 2016,[244] and 1 million in March 2017.[245][246] In May 2016, Instagram launched new tools for business accounts, including business profiles, analytics and the ability to promote posts as ads. To access the tools, businesses had to link a corresponding Facebook page.[247] The new analytics page, known as Instagram Insights, allowed business accounts to view top posts, reach, impressions, engagement and demographic data.[247] Insights rolled out first in the United States, Australia, and New Zealand, and expanded to the rest of the world later in 2016.[248][247][249] In November 2018, Instagram added the ability for business accounts to add product links directing users to a purchase page or to save them to a ""shopping list.""[250] In April 2019, Instagram added the option to ""Checkout on Instagram,"" which allows merchants to sell products directly through the Instagram app.[251] In March 2020, via a blog post, Instagram announced that they are making major moderation changes in order to decrease the flow of disinformation, hoaxes and fake news regarding COVID-19 on its platform, ""We'll remove COVID-19 accounts from account recommendations, and we are working to remove some COVID-19 related content from Explore unless posted by a credible health organization. We will also start to downrank content in feed and Stories that has been rated false by third-party fact-checkers.""[252] In June 2021, Instagram launched a native affiliate marketing tool creators can use to earn commissions based on sales. Commission-enabled posts are labeled ""Eligible for Commission"" on the user side to identify them as affiliate posts. Launch partners included Sephora, MAC, and Kopari.[253] Stand-alone apps Instagram has developed and released three stand-alone apps with specialized functionality. In July 2014, it released Bolt, a messaging app where users click on a friend's profile photo to quickly send an image, with the content disappearing after being seen.[254][255] It was followed by the release of Hyperlapse in August, an iOS-exclusive app that uses ""clever algorithm processing"" to create tracking shots and fast time-lapse videos.[256][257] Microsoft launched a Hyperlapse app for Android and Windows in May 2015, but there has been no official Hyperlapse app from Instagram for either of these platforms to date.[258] In October 2015, it released Boomerang, a video app that combines photos into short, one-second videos that play back-and-forth in a loop.[259][260] Third-party services The popularity of Instagram has led to a variety of third-party services designed to integrate with it, including services for creating content to post on the service and generating content from Instagram photos (including physical print-outs), analytics, and alternative clients for platforms with insufficient or no official support from Instagram (such as in the past, iPads).[261][262] In November 2015, Instagram announced that effective June 1, 2016, it would end ""feed"" API access to its platform in order to ""maintain control for the community and provide a clear roadmap for developers"" and ""set up a more sustainable environment built around authentic experiences on the platform"", including those oriented towards content creation, publishers, and advertisers. Additionally, third-party clients have been prohibited from using the text strings ""insta"" or ""gram"" in their name.[263] It was reported that these changes were primarily intended to discourage third-party clients replicating the entire Instagram experience (due to increasing monetization of the service), and security reasons (such as preventing abuse by automated click farms, and the hijacking of accounts). In the wake of the Cambridge Analytica scandal, Instagram began to impose further restrictions on its API in 2018.[262][264][265] For unlimited browsing of public Instagram profiles without having to create an account, as well as for anonymous browsing of someone else's Stories, has to use the Instagram profiles viewer.[266] Stories are more authentic than typical photos posted as posts because users know that in 24 hours their Stories will disappear if they don't add them as highlighted[267] (however users can check who saw their Story for 48 hours after it was published[268]). For this reason, they are very valuable for market research.[269] Fact checking On December 16, 2019, Facebook announced it would expand its fact checking programs towards Instagram,[270] by using third-party fact-checkers organizations false information is able to be identified, reviewed and labeled as false information. Content when rated as false or partly false is removed from the explore page and hashtag pages, additionally content rated as false or partly false are labeled as such. With the addition of Facebook fact-checking program came the use of image matching technology to find further instances of misinformation. If a piece of content is labeled false or partly false on Facebook or Instagram then duplicates of such content will also be labeled as false.[271] Algorithm and design changes In April 2016, Instagram began rolling out a change to the order of photos visible in a user's timeline, shifting from a strictly chronological order to one determined by an algorithm.[272] Instagram said the algorithm was designed so that users would see more of the photos by users that they liked,[273] but there was significant negative feedback, with many users asking their followers to turn on post notifications in order to make sure they see updates.[274][275][276] The company wrote a tweet to users upset at the prospect of the change, but did not back down,[277] nor provide a way to change it back, which they re-affirmed in 2020.[278][279] However, in December 2021, Adam Mosseri, in a Senate hearing on child safety issues, stated that the company is developing a version of the feed that would show user posts in chronological order.[280] He later clarified the company would introduce two modes: a classic chronological feed and a version of it that would let users pick ""favorite"" users whose posts would be shown at the top in chronological order while other posts would be mixed in below.[281] Since 2017, Instagram has employed the ability to reduce the prominence of accounts (""shadowbanning"") it believes may be generating non-genuine engagement and spam (including excessive use of unneeded hashtags), preventing posts from appearing in search results and in the app's Explore section. In a now-deleted Facebook post, Instagram wrote that ""When developing content, we recommend focusing on your business objective or goal rather than hashtags"".[282][283] Instagram has since been accused of extending the practice to censor posts under vague and inconsistent circumstances, particularly in regards to sexually suggestive material.[284] Instagram caused the userbase to fall into outrage with the December 2018 update.[285][286][287][288][289][excessive citations] They found an attempt to alter the flow of the feed from the traditional vertical scroll to emulate and piggy-back the popularity of their Instagram Stories with a horizontal scroll, by swiping left.[290] Various backtracking statements were released explaining it as a bug, or as a test release that had been accidentally deployed to too large an audience.[288][287] In November 2020, Instagram replaced the activity feed tab with a new ""Shop"" tab, moving the activity feed to the top. The ""new post"" button was also relocated to the top and replaced with a Reels tab[291] The company states that ""the Shop tab gives you a better way to connect with brands and creators and discover products you love"" and the Reels tab ""makes it easier for you to discover short, fun videos from creators all over the world and people just like you.""[292] However, users have not responded well to the change, taking their complaints to Twitter and Reddit, and The New York Times has shunned Reels in particular, saying ""Not only does Reels fail in every way as a TikTok clone, but it’s confusing, frustrating and impossible to navigate"".[293] Also in 2020, Instagram rolled out a feature titled ""suggested posts"", which adds posts from accounts Instagram thinks a user would like to such user's feed.[294] The feature was met with controversy from both Reddit users[295] from The Verge, which reported that suggested posts would keep users glued to their feed, give Instagram more advertising space, and ultimately harm the mental health of users, while Instagram executive Julian Gutman rebutted, stating the feature was not intended to keep users glued to their screens.[296] Suggested posts received more controversy after Fast Company stated that the feature would be impossible to turn off.[297] On June 23, 2021, Instagram announced a test change to the ""suggested posts"" feature. The company will put suggested posts ahead of posts from people who the user is following in the Instagram feed, citing positive reception as the reason for this change.[298] Scientific studies Harmful effect on teenage girls' mental health Facebook has known for years that its Instagram app is harmful to a large number of teenagers, according to research seen by The Wall Street Journal, but the company concealed the knowledge from lawmakers.[299] The internal Facebook presentations seen by the Journal in 2021 show that Instagram is toxic to a sizable percentage of its users, particularly teenage girls. More than 40% of Instagram's users are under 23 years old. The presentations were seen by the company's executives and the findings mentioned to Mark Zuckerberg in 2020, but when asked in March 2021 about Instagram's effect on young people, Zuckerberg defended the company's plan to launch an Instagram product for children under 13.[299] When asked by senators for its internal findings on the impact of Instagram on youth mental health, Facebook sent a six-page letter that did not include the company's research. The company told Forbes that its research is ""kept confidential to promote frank and open dialogue and brainstorming internally.""[300] In a blog post, Instagram said that the WSJ story ""focuses on a limited set of findings and casts them in a negative light.""[301] On September 27, 2021, weeks after the WSJ report was released, Facebook announced that it had ""paused"" development of Instagram Kids, the Instagram product aimed at children. The company stated it was looking into concerns raised by the regulators and parents. Adam Mosseri stated that the company would return to the project as ""[t]he reality is that kids are already online, and we believe that developing age-appropriate experiences designed specifically for them is far better for parents than where we are today.""[302][303] Based on Facebook's leaked internal research, Instagram has had negative effects on the body image of one in three teenagers.[304] Leaked internal documents also indicate that two thirds of teen girls and 40 percent of teen boys experience negative social comparison, and that Instagram makes 20 percent of the teens feel worse about themselves. According to the leaked research, Instagram has higher impact on appearance comparison than TikTok or Snapchat.[305] 13 percent of British, and 6 percent of US, teenager users with suicidal thoughts could trace them to Instagram use.[304] Depression, anxiety and stress Khodarahimi and Fathi found evidence that Instagram users displayed higher levels of depressive and anxious symptoms compared to non-users.[306] However, Frison & Eggermont 2017 found that, among both boys and girls, browsing could predict the presence of depressive symptoms; liking and posting seemed to have no effect.[307] In addition, their study showed that the presence of depressive symptoms in a given user could positively predict that they would make posts.[307] The study showed that the viewing of celebrity and peer pictures could make the moods of women more negative.[307][308] In a 2021 study, Mun & Kim pointed out that Instagram users with a strong need for approval were more likely to falsely present themselves on their Instagram accounts, which in turn increased the likelihood of depression. However, depression was mitigated by the users' perception of their own popularity.[309] Lub & Trub 2015 showed that following more strangers increases social comparisons and depressive symptoms.[310] Multiple studies have found that increasing time spent on Instagram increases social anxiety and anxiety related to personal traits, physical appearance, and high-stress body areas in particular.[311][312][313] Sherlock & Wagstaff 2019 showed that both the number of followers and followees can slightly increase anxiety over personal traits.[314] Additionally, Moujaes & Verrier 2020 observed a connection between online engagement with mothering-based influencers known as InstaMums and anxiety.[315] However, Mackson et al. 2019 suggested beneficial effects of Instagram use on anxiety symptoms.[316][315] Body image Instagram users report higher body surveillance (the habitual monitoring of one's body shape and size),[317] appearance-related pressure,[318] eating-disorder-related-pathology[319] and lower body satisfaction[319] than non-users. Multiple studies have also shown that users who take more selfies before making a post, and those who strategically present themselves by participating in such activities as editing or manipulating selfies, report higher levels of body surveillance and body dissatisfaction, and lower body esteem overall.[320][321][322][323] Tiggermann et al. showed that facial satisfaction can decrease when one spends greater time editing selfies for Instagram. Comments related to appearance on Instagram can lead to higher dissatisfaction with one's body.[324][325][326][327] Loneliness and social exclusion Mackson et al. 2019 found that Instagram users were less lonely than non-users[316] and that Instagram membership predicts lower self-reported loneliness.[323] A 2021 study by Büttner & Rudertb also showed that not being tagged in an Instagram photo triggers the feeling of social exclusion and ostracism, especially for those with higher needs to belong.[328] However, Brailovskaia & Margraf 2018 found a significant positive relationship between Instagram membership and extraversion, life satisfaction, and social support. Their study showed only a marginally significant negative association between Instagram membership and self-conscientiousness.[329] Fioravanti et al. 2020 showed that women who had to take a break from Instagram for seven days reported higher life satisfaction compared to women who continued their habitual pattern of Instagram use. The effects seemed to be specific for women, where no significant differences were observed for men.[330] The relationship between Instagram use and the fear of missing out, or FOMO, has been confirmed in multiple studies.[331][332] Research shows that Instagram browsing predicts social comparison, which generates FOMO, which can ultimately lead to depression.[333] Alcohol and drug use There is a small positive correlation between the intensity of one's Instagram usage and alcohol consumption, with binge drinkers reporting greater intensity of Instagram use than non-binge drinkers.[334] Boyle et al. 2016 found a small to moderate positive relationship between alcohol consumption, enhanced drinking motives, and drinking behavior during college and Instagram usage,[335] Eating disorders A comparison of Instagram users with non-users showed that boys with an Instagram account differ from boys without an account in terms of over-evaluation of their shape and weight, skipping meals, and levels of reported disordered eating cognitions. Girls with an Instagram account only differed from girls without an account in terms of skipping meals; they also had a stricter exercise schedule, a pattern not found in boys. This suggests a possible negative effect of Instagram usage on body satisfaction and disordered eating for both boys and girls.[323][336] Several studies identified a small positive relationship between time spent on Instagram and both internalization of beauty and/or muscular ideals and self-objectification.[323][337][338][339] Both Appel et al. 2016 and Feltman et al. 2017 found a positive link between the intensity of Instagram use and both body surveillance and dietary behaviors or disordered eating.[340][339] Suicide and self-harm Picardo et al. 2020 examined the relationship between self-harm posts and actual self-harm behaviours offline and found such content had negative emotional effects on some users. The study also reported preliminary evidence of the online posts affecting offline behavior, but stopped short of claiming causality. At the same time, some benefits for those who engage with self-harm content online have been suggested.[341] Instagram has published resources to help users in need of support.[342] Sharenting risks Sharenting is when parents post content online, including images, about their children. Instagram is one of the most popular social media channels for sharenting. The hashtag #letthembelittle contains over 10 million images related to children on Instagram. Bare 2020 analysed 300 randomly selected, publicly available images under the hashtag and found that the corresponding images tended to contain children's personal information, including name, age and location.[343] Instagram addiction Sanz-Blas et al. 2019 showed that users who feel that they spend too much time on Instagram report higher levels of ""addiction"" to Instagram, which in turn was related to higher self-reported levels of stress induced by the app.[344] In a study focusing on the relationship between various psychological needs and ""addiction"" to Instagram by students, Foroughi et al. 2021 found that the desire for recognition and entertainment were predictors of students' addiction to Instagram. In addition, the study proved that addiction to Instagram negatively affected academic performance.[345] Additionally, Gezgin & Mihci 2020 found that frequent Instagram usage correlated with smartphone addiction.[346] User characteristics and behavior The Instagram app, running on the Android operating system Users Following the release in October 2010, Instagram had one million registered users in December 2010.[347][348] In June 2011, it announced that it had 5 million users,[349] which increased to 10 million in September.[350][351] This growth continued to 30 million users in April 2012,[350][22] 80 million in July 2012,[352][353] 100 million in February 2013,[354][355] 130 million in June 2013,[356] 150 million in September 2013,[357][358] 300 million in December 2014,[359][360] 400 million in September 2015,[361][362] 500 million in June 2016,[363][364] 600 million in December 2016,[365][366] 700 million in April 2017,[367][368] and 800 million in September 2017.[369][370] In June 2011, Instagram passed 100 million photos uploaded to the service.[371][372] This grew to 150 million in August 2011,[373][374] and by June 2013, there were over 16 billion photos on the service.[356] In October 2015, there existed over 40 billion photos.[375] In October 2016, Instagram Stories reached 100 million active users, two months after launch.[376][377] This increased to 150 million in January 2017,[208][209] 200 million in April, surpassing Snapchat's user growth,[211][212][210] and 250 million active users in June 2017.[378][217] In April 2017, Instagram Direct had 375 million monthly users.[196][197][198] Demographics As of 2014 , Instagram's users are divided equally with 50% iPhone owners and 50% Android owners. While Instagram has a neutral gender-bias format, 68% of Instagram users are female while 32% are male. Instagram's geographical use is shown to favor urban areas as 17% of US adults who live in urban areas use Instagram while only 11% of adults in suburban and rural areas do so. While Instagram may appear to be one of the most widely used sites for photo sharing, only 7% of daily photo uploads, among the top four photo-sharing platforms, come from Instagram. Instagram has been proven to attract the younger generation with 90% of the 150 million users under the age of 35. From June 2012 to June 2013, Instagram approximately doubled their number of users. With regards to income, 15% of US Internet users who make less than $30,000 per year use Instagram, while 14% of those making $30,000 to $50,000, and 12% of users who make more than $50,000 per year do so.[379] With respect to the education demographic, respondents with some college education proved to be the most active on Instagram with 23%. Following behind, college graduates consist of 18% and users with a high school diploma or less make up 15%. Among these Instagram users, 24% say they use the app several times a day.[380] User behavior Ongoing research continues to explore how media content on the platform affects user engagement. Past research has found that media which show peoples' faces receive more 'likes' and comments and that using filters that increase warmth, exposure, and contrast also boosts engagement.[381] Users are more likely to engage with images that depict fewer individuals compared to groups and also are more likely to engage with content that has not been watermarked, as they view this content as less original and reliable compared to user-generated content.[382] Recently Instagram has come up with an option for users to apply for a verified account badge; however, this does not guarantee every user who applies will get the verified blue tick.[383] The motives for using Instagram among young people are mainly to look at posts, particularly for the sake of social interactions and recreation. In contrast, the level of agreement expressed in creating Instagram posts was lower, which demonstrates that Instagram's emphasis on visual communication is widely accepted by young people in social communication.[384] Performative activism Starting in June 2020, Instagram was more widely used as a platform for social justice movements including the Black Lives Matter movement.[385][386] This has changed how people address activism, created a lack of consistency in protest, and is not widely accepted.[387][388] Most notably in 2020, Shirien Damra shared an illustration and tribute she made of George Floyd after his death, and it resulted in more than 3.4 million ""likes"", followed by many offline reproductions of the illustration.[389][390] Instagram-based activism (as well as other social media) has been criticized and dismissed for being performative, reductionist, and overly focused on aesthetics.[387] Reception Awards Instagram was the runner-up for ""Best Mobile App"" at the 2010 TechCrunch Crunchies in January 2011.[391] In May 2011, Fast Company listed CEO Kevin Systrom at number 66 in ""The 100 Most Creative People in Business in 2011"".[392] In June 2011, Inc. included co-founders Systrom and Krieger in its 2011 ""30 Under 30"" list.[9] Instagram won ""Best Locally Made App"" in the SF Weekly Web Awards in September 2011.[393] 7x7Magazine's September 2011 issue featured Systrom and Krieger on the cover of their ""The Hot 20 2011"" issue.[394] In December 2011, Apple Inc. named Instagram the ""App of the Year"" for 2011.[395] In 2015, Instagram was named No. 1 by Mashable on its list of ""The 100 best iPhone apps of all time,"" noting Instagram as ""one of the most influential social networks in the world.""[396] Instagram was listed among Time's ""50 Best Android Applications for 2013"" list.[397] Mental health In May 2017, a survey conducted by the United Kingdom's Royal Society for Public Health, featuring 1,479 people aged 14–24, asking them to rate social media platforms depending on anxiety, depression, loneliness, bullying and body image, concluded that Instagram was the ""worst for young mental health"". Some have suggested it may contribute to digital dependence, whilst this same survey noticed its positive effects, including self-expression, self-identity, and community building. In response to the survey, Instagram stated that ""Keeping Instagram a safe and supportive place for young people was a top priority"".[398][399] The company filters out the reviews and accounts. If some of the accounts violate Instagram's community guidelines, it will take action, which could include banning them.[400] In 2017, researchers from Harvard University and University of Vermont demonstrated a machine learning tool that successfully outperformed general practitioners' diagnostic success rate for depression. The tool used color analysis, metadata components, and face detection of users' feeds.[401] In 2019, Instagram began to test the hiding of like counts for posts made by its users, with the feature later made available to everyone. Correlations have been made between Instagram content and dissatisfaction with one's body, as a result of people comparing themselves to other users. In a recent survey half of the applicants admitted to photo editing behavior which has been linked with concerns over body image.[402] In October 2021, CNN published an article and interviews on two young women, Ashlee Thomas and Anastasia Vlasova, saying Instagram endangered their lives due to it having toxic effects on their diets.[403] In response to abusive and negative comments on users' photos, Instagram has made efforts to give users more control over their posts and accompanying comments field. In July 2016, it announced that users would be able to turn off comments for their posts, as well as control the language used in comments by inputting words they consider offensive, which will ban applicable comments from showing up.[404][405] After the July 2016 announcement, the ability to ban specific words began rolling out early August to celebrities,[406] followed by regular users in September.[407] In December, the company began rolling out the abilities for users to turn off the comments and, for private accounts, remove followers.[408][409] In June 2017, Instagram announced that it would automatically attempt to filter offensive, harassing, and ""spammy"" comments by default. The system is built using a Facebook-developed deep learning algorithm known as DeepText (first implemented on the social network to detect spam comments), which utilizes natural-language processing techniques, and can also filter by user-specified keywords.[410][411][400] In September 2017, the company announced that public users would be able to limit who can comment on their content, such as only their followers or people they follow. At the same time, it updated its automated comment filter to support additional languages.[412][413] In July 2019, the service announced that it would introduce a system to proactively detect problematic comments and encourage the user to reconsider their comment, as well as allowing users the ability to ""restrict"" others' abilities to communicate with them, citing that younger users felt the existing block system was too much of an escalation.[78] An April 2022 study by the Center for Countering Digital Hate found that Instagram failed to act on 90% of abusive direct messages (DMs) sent to five high-profile women, despite the DMs being reported to moderators. The participants of the study included actress Amber Heard, journalist Bryony Gordon, television presenter Rachel Riley, activist Jamie Klingler and magazine founder Sharan Dhaliwal. Instagram disputed many of the study's conclusions.[414][415][416] Culture On August 9, 2012, English musician Ellie Goulding released a new music video for her song ""Anything Could Happen."" The video only contained fan-submitted Instagram photographs that used various filters to represent words or lyrics from the song, and over 1,200 different photographs were submitted.[417] Security In August 2017, reports surfaced that a bug in Instagram's developer tools had allowed ""one or more individuals"" to gain access to the contact information, specifically email addresses and phone numbers, of several high-profile verified accounts, including its most followed user, Selena Gomez. The company said in a statement that it had ""fixed the bug swiftly"" and was running an investigation.[418][419] However, the following month, more details emerged, with a group of hackers selling contact information online, with the affected number of accounts in the ""millions"" rather than the previously assumed limitation on verified accounts. Hours after the hack, a searchable database was posted online, charging $10 per search.[420] The Daily Beast was provided with a sample of the affected accounts, and could confirm that, while many of the email addresses could be found with a Google search in public sources, some did not return relevant Google search results and thus were from private sources.[421] The Verge wrote that cybersecurity firm RepKnight had found contact information for multiple actors, musicians, and athletes,[420] and singer Selena Gomez's account was used by the hackers to post naked photos of her ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber. The company admitted that ""we cannot determine which specific accounts may have been impacted"", but believed that ""it was a low percentage of Instagram accounts"", though TechCrunch stated in its report that six million accounts were affected by the hack, and that ""Instagram services more than 700 million accounts; six million is not a small number"".[422] In 2019, Apple pulled an app that let users stalk people on Instagram by scraping accounts and collecting data.[423] Iran has DPI blocking for Instagram.[424] Content ownership On December 17, 2012, Instagram announced a change to its Terms of Service policy, adding the following sentence:[425] To help us deliver interesting paid or sponsored content or promotions, you agree that a business or other entity may pay us to display your username, likeness, photos (along with any associated metadata), and/or actions you take, in connection with paid or sponsored content or promotions, without any compensation to you. There was no option for users to opt out of the changed Terms of Service without deleting their accounts before the new policy went into effect on January 16, 2013.[426] The move garnered severe criticism from users,[427][428] prompting Instagram CEO Kevin Systrom to write a blog post one day later, announcing that they would ""remove"" the offending language from the policy. Citing misinterpretations about its intention to ""communicate that we'd like to experiment with innovative advertising that feels appropriate on Instagram"", Systrom also stated that it was ""our mistake that this language is confusing"" and that ""it is not our intention to sell your photos"". Furthermore, he wrote that they would work on ""updated language in the terms to make sure this is clear"".[429][427] The policy change and its backlash caused competing photo services to use the opportunity to ""try to lure users away"" by promoting their privacy-friendly services,[430] and some services experienced substantial gains in momentum and user growth following the news.[431] On December 20, Instagram announced that the advertising section of the policy would be reverted to its original October 2010 version.[432] The Verge wrote about that policy as well, however, noting that the original policy gives the company right to ""place such advertising and promotions on the Instagram Services or on, about, or in conjunction with your Content"", meaning that ""Instagram has always had the right to use your photos in ads, almost any way it wants. We could have had the exact same freakout last week, or a year ago, or the day Instagram launched"".[425] The policy update also introduced an arbitration clause, which remained even after the language pertaining to advertising and user content had been modified.[433] Facebook acquisition as a violation of US antitrust law Columbia Law School professor Tim Wu has given public talks explaining that Facebook's 2012 purchase of Instagram was a felony.[434] On February 26, 2019, the New York Post released an article stating that the FTC had discovered a memo authored by a senior Facebook official, revealing that the purpose behind the acquisition of Instagram was to remove a potential rival. Wu explains this is a violation of US antitrust law (see monopoly). Wu stated that this document was an email directly from Mark Zuckerberg, whereas the Post article had stated that their source had declined to say whether the high-ranking executive was the CEO. The article reported that the FTC ""has formed a task force to review ""anticompetitive conduct"" in the tech world amid concerns that tech companies are growing too powerful. The task force will look at ""the full panoply of remedies"" if it finds ""competitive harm,"" FTC competition bureau director Bruce Hoffman told reporters.""[citation needed] Algorithmic advertisement with a rape threat In 2016, Olivia Solon, a reporter for The Guardian, posted a screenshot to her Instagram profile of an email she had received containing threats of rape and murder towards her. The photo post had received three likes and countless comments, and in September 2017, the company's algorithms turned the photo into an advertisement visible to Solon's sister. An Instagram spokesperson apologized and told The Guardian that ""We are sorry this happened – it's not the experience we want someone to have. This notification post was surfaced as part of an effort to encourage engagement on Instagram. Posts are generally received by a small percentage of a person's Facebook friends."" As noted by the technology media, the incident occurred at the same time parent company Facebook was under scrutiny for its algorithms and advertising campaigns being used for offensive and negative purposes.[435][436] Human exploitation In May 2021, The Washington Post published a report detailing a ""black market"" of unlicensed employment agents luring migrant workers from Africa and Asia into indentured servitude as maids in Persian Gulf countries, and using Instagram posts containing their personal information (including in some cases, passport numbers) to market them. Instagram deleted 200 accounts that had been reported by the Post, and a spokesperson stated that Instagram took this activity ""extremely seriously"", disabled 200 accounts found by the Post to be engaging in these activities, and was continuing to work on systems to automatically detect and disable accounts engaging in human exploitation.[437] In July 2022, Instagram announced a set of updates which immediately received widespread backlash from its userbase. The changes included a feed more focused on Instagram's content algorithms, full-screen photo and video posts, and changing the format of all of its videos to Reels. The primary criticisms for these updates was Instagram being more like TikTok, instead of photo sharing. The backlash originated from an Instagram post and Change.org petition created by photographer Tati Bruening (under the username @illumitati) on July 23, 2022, featuring the statement ""Make Instagram Instagram again. (stop trying to be tiktok i just want to see cute photos of my friends.) Sincerely, everyone."". The post and petition gained mainstream attention after influencers Kylie Jenner and Kim Kardashian reposted the Instagram post; subsequently, the original post gained over 2 million likes on Instagram and over 275,000 signatures on Change.org.[438][439][440] Instagram walked back the update on July 28, with Meta saying ""We recognize that changes to the app can be an adjustment, and while we believe that Instagram needs to evolve as the world changes, we want to take the time to make sure we get this right.""[441] Despite repeated attempts by Meta to shape Instagram to appear and operate more like TikTok, user engagement continued to lag far behind its rival as of 2022.[187] Censorship and restricted content Illicit drugs Instagram has been the subject of criticism due to users publishing images of drugs they are selling on the platform. In 2013, the BBC discovered that users, mostly located in the United States, were posting images of drugs they were selling, attaching specific hashtags, and then completing transactions via instant messaging applications such as WhatsApp. Corresponding hashtags have been blocked as part of the company's response and a spokesperson engaged with the BBC explained:[442][443] Instagram has a clear set of rules about what is and isn't allowed on the site. We encourage people who come across illegal or inappropriate content to report it to us using the built-in reporting tools next to every photo, video or comment, so we can take action. People can't buy things on Instagram, we are simply a place where people share photos and videos. However, new incidents of illegal drug trade have occurred in the aftermath of the 2013 revelation, with Facebook, Inc., Instagram's parent company, asking users who come across such content to report the material, at which time a ""dedicated team"" reviews the information.[444] In 2019, Facebook announced that influencers are no longer able to post any vape, tobacco products, and weapons promotions on Facebook and Instagram.[445] Women's bodies In October 2013, Instagram deleted the account of Canadian photographer Petra Collins after she posted a photo of herself in which a very small area of pubic hair was visible above the top of her bikini bottom. Collins claimed that the account deletion was unfounded because it broke none of Instagram's terms and conditions.[446] Audra Schroeder of The Daily Dot further wrote that ""Instagram's terms of use state users can't post 'pornographic or sexually suggestive photos.'"" You can indeed find more sexually suggestive photos on the site than Collins', where women show the side of ""femininity"" the world is ""used to"" seeing and accepting.""[447] Nick Drewe of The Daily Beast wrote a report the same month focusing on hashtags that users are unable to search for, including #sex, #bubblebutt, and #ballsack, despite allowing #faketits, #gunsforsale and #sexytimes, calling the discrepancy ""nonsensical and inconsistent"".[448] Similar incidents occurred in January 2015, when Instagram deleted Australian fashion agency Sticks and Stones Agency's account because of a photograph including pubic hair sticking out of bikini bottoms,[449] and March 2015, when artist and poet Rupi Kaur's photos of menstrual blood on clothing were removed, prompting a rallying post on her Facebook and Tumblr accounts with the text ""We will not be censored"", gaining over 11,000 shares.[450] The incidents have led to a #FreetheNipple campaign, aimed at challenging Instagram's removal of photos displaying women's nipples. Although Instagram has not made many comments on the campaign,[451] an October 2015 explanation from CEO Kevin Systrom highlighted Apple's content guidelines for apps published through its App Store, including Instagram, in which apps must designate the appropriate age ranking for users, with the app's current rating being 12+ years of age. However, this statement has also been called into question due to other apps with more explicit content allowed on the store, the lack of consequences for men exposing their bodies on Instagram, and for inconsistent treatment of what constitutes inappropriate exposure of the female body.[452][453] The Iranian government offered moderators bribes up to $9,000 to delete specific accounts, with Masih Alinejad being targeted in particular.[454] Censorship by countries Censorship of Instagram has occurred in several different countries. United States On January 11, 2020, Instagram and its parent company Facebook, Inc. are removing posts ""that voice support for slain Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani to comply with US sanctions"".[455] On October 30, 2020, Instagram temporarily removed the ""recent"" tab on hashtag pages to prevent the spread of misinformation regarding the 2020 United States presidential election.[456] On January 7, 2021, United States President Donald Trump was banned from Instagram ""indefinitely"". Zuckerberg stated ""We believe the risks of allowing the President to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great.""[457] A few days after Facebook changed its name to Meta, an Australian artist and technologist, Thea-Mai Baumann, had lost access to her @metaverse Instagram handle. Bauman tried to reclaim her access for a month, without success. Only after The New York Times published the story and contacted Meta's PR department, was the access restored.[458] China Instagram has been blocked by China following the 2014 Hong Kong protests as many confrontations with police and incidents occurring during the protests were recorded and photographed. Hong Kong and Macau were not affected as they are part of special administrative regions of China.[459] Turkey Turkey is also known for its strict Internet censorship and periodically blocks social media including Instagram.[460] North Korea A few days after a fire incident that happened in the Koryo Hotel in North Korea on June 11, 2015, authorities began to block Instagram to prevent photos of the incident from being spread out.[461] Iran As of September 2022, Instagram was one of the last freely available global social media sites in Iran.[462] Instagram is popular among Iranians because it is seen as an outlet for freedom and a ""window to the world.""[463] Still, Iran has sentenced several citizens to prison for posts made on their Instagram accounts.[464] The Iranian government also blocked Instagram periodically during anti-government protests.[465] In July 2021, Instagram temporarily censored videos with the phrase ""death to Khamenei"".[466] It was blocked along with WhatsApp permanently from September 2022 except for tourists and corporations who are asking for it.[467][468] Cuba The Cuban government blocked access to several social media platforms, including Instagram, to curb the spread of information during the 2021 Cuban protests.[469] Russia On March 11, 2022, Russia announced it would ban Instagram due to alleged ""calls for violence against Russian troops"" on the platform during the ongoing 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[470] On March 14, the ban took effect, with almost 80 million users losing access to Instagram.[471] Statistics As of January 7, 2023, the most followed person is Portuguese professional footballer Cristiano Ronaldo with over 530 million followers.[472] As of January 7, 2023, the most-liked photo on Instagram is a carousel of photos from footballer Lionel Messi celebrating winning the 2022 FIFA World Cup, The post has over 74 million likes.[473] In 2022, Instagram was the second most downloaded mobile app of the year.[474] In popular culture Social Animals (documentary film): A documentary film about three teenagers growing up on Instagram (documentary film): A documentary film about three teenagers growing up on Instagram Instagram model: a term for models who gain their success as a result of the large number of followers they have on Instagram Instapoetry: a style of poetry which formed by sharing images of short poems by poets on Instagram.

I am increasingly drawn to understanding the connection, if it exists, between the current economic and sociopolitical landscape in India and the violence against women. Naysayers will argue that the sharp rise in statistics of violence against women and children in India is on account of better reporting and accounting of crimes, as well as more legislation. Indeed, the recent introduction of the POCSO Amendment Bill, 2019, in the Rajya Sabha, creating 123 fast-track courts for women, is a step in the right direction. But this is palliative care in a system where the emergency room is filling up at a faster rate than the system can address. Unique circumstances Why is this happening? The bare branches of a skewed sex ratio, poverty, unemployment, confusing sociocultural signals, social media and connectivity are all incendiary matchsticks to an already marginalised, frustrated and pathologically vulnerable brain. We attribute this to sociopathy and, with that labelling, neatly cocoon such men into a space separate from ‘us’. But even so, why has there been an increase in this ‘sociopathy’? Outside of genetic and biological factors, which are also slaves to epigenetical influences, India offers up uniquely subjective and inordinately challenging circumstances for this cauldron of sexual misconduct to foment. First, there is the narrative that this is the clash of ‘traditional culture’ with modern values. But this behoves further examination: Secretary of the All India Progressive Women's Association, Kavita Krishnan, in the International Journal of Human Rights , argues that it is a misplaced narrative. She claims it is the insidious caste, capitalistic and political environment, one that pivots itself on the narratives of India’s ancient texts and scriptures to excoriate women, that brings about their subjugation, for selfish gain. Cycle of violence There is violence even before birth of a girl child. India has one of the highest incidences of female foeticide. Then, as a young child, a girl is part of an incontrovertible landscape where there has been a 336% rise in sexual crimes against children in the last decade. As a young woman, she is in the most unsafe country in the world, according to a recent Thomson Reuters Foundation survey, which recorded around 40,000 rapes a year. She is subject to the routine threats of honour killing and trafficking. As a widow or single mother, she is ostracised in a patriarchal society. Indian women do the most unpaid domestic work of any country globally, next to Kazakhstan. The insensitivity, reluctance, and hostility of the police, legal and medical fraternity, coupled with the fact that most assaulters are known to the victim, makes an increasingly intimidating environment in which to move forward with justice. Courts in the country are severely back-logged. The worst narrative is perhaps what psychologists refer to as a kind of ‘emotional contagion’ for the rapist, where he sees others committing the crime and has become inured to it, thus, taking the leap towards crime. Similarly, we as a nation, have perhaps become inured by contagion, to sexual crimes against women. So often do we encounter the horrific act in our consciousness that it has escaped our conscience. Imparting healthy sex education in schools, providing means by which socially and emotionally marginalised men are given the opportunity to be identified and rehabilitate themselves, is paramount, before it leads to further tragedy.

Yadhavamoorthy (AIADMK) remarked that during the AIADMK regime, battery-operated vehicles were used for garbage collection, but those vehicles have now been dumped. “Does the corporation plan to repair them or is it going to give the away for iron scrap?,” he questioned, prompting a wordy duel September 26, 2023 04:21 pm | Updated 04:22 pm IST - SALEM

The councillors of All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) staged a walkout from the Salem Corporation council meeting after a quarrel with the DMK councillors on Tuesday, September 26, 2023.

Salem Corporation Mayor A. Ramachandran presided over the meeting, and 72 resolutions were passed.

Speaking at the meeting, the 60th ward councillor Varadharajan said that bill collectors do not respect the councillors and do not attend their calls. Cleanliness workers were reduced in the ward.

Replying to the allegations, City Health Officer Yoganand said that 33 workers were allocated for the ward, and the issue will be sorted out in a week.

AIADMK Councillor K.C. Selvaraj (ward 22) alleged that corruption was taking place in determining the taxes at Salem Corporation. Stating that most of the roads in the corporation were converted into A-category roads, he question the basis for the move.

DMK councillor (ward 34), Esan D. Elango, said the road between Pattai Kovil and Singamethai have become narrow,making it difficult for the buses to pass through. He urged the corporation to identify the encroachments and remove them. Fine should be slapped on people who have been parking their vehicles on the roads for days,, Mr. Elango added.

Opposition leader N. Yadhavamoorthy (AIADMK) said that the G.O. stating the increase of property taxes is yet to be given to all councillors. “It is unfair to increase taxes by 100% for decades-old buildings. During the AIADMK regime, battery-operated vehicles were used for garbage collection, but those vehicles have now been dumped. Does the corporation plan to repair them or is it going to give the away for iron scrap?,” he questioned.

Following this, DMK councillors entered into a war of words with the opposition leader, and AIADMK councillors walked out of the meeting.",1

Pune: A minor dispute over the volume of a loudspeaker during a Ganpati visarjan procession escalated into a serious fight in the Manjari area on the night of September 24th. The incident, which occurred between 8:40pm and 9:00pm, led to the physical assault of a man. The case has been registered at Hadapsar police station.

According to the police, Balasaheb Vasant Ghule, aged 50, filed the complaint at Hadapsar police station. The police have booked three individuals: Bibtya alias Swapnil Sanjay Kuchekar, Harshal Suresh Ghule, and Ketal Santosh Ghule.

The accused and the victim reside in the same area. The dispute began when the complainant's wife opposed the loud music from a speaker during a Ganpati immersion rally passing in front of their house. She requested the group of people participating in the rally to lower the volume. When the group ignored her request, she dialed 100 to call the police. In response, the accused became angry and physically assaulted both the complainant and his wife.

PSI Sachin Dabhade stated, ""We have booked three individuals under IPC sections 324, 323, 504, and 506, and we are currently investigating the case.""

 Source EXCLUSIVE: Filmmaker Ilker Çatak, whose terrific film The Teachers’ Lounge is Germany’s submission for Best International Feature at the 96th Academy Awards, wants to see and make films that provoke.

But what exactly does that mean?

Well, according to Çatak, most filmmakers, including himself, can feel a bit ‘same,’ despite best intentions. “We’re all kind of left-wing and woke, none of us are racist and we have the same values,” he begins during one of several conversations we’ve held over recent months at Telluride, TIFF and over email. “Sometimes I feel like I watch films, and they’re so safe. You know where the story’s going to, and I actually want to see films that sometimes provoke and are not aligned to my perception of the world.”

“I like it when a filmmaker makes a bold decision and risks something,” adds the director, whose credits include I Was, I Am, I Will Be and Stambul Garden.

For example, he says Yorgos Lanthimos’s Golden Lion-winning Poor Things “was bold for a filmmaker to make.” I wholeheartedly agree. The same goes for Paola Sorrentino and Justine Triet’s films. I agree with that, too.

The Teachers’ Lounge, which was acquired by Sony Pictures Classics back in March for all rights in North America, Latin America and most European territories, is set in a German school. Çatak sees “school as a miniature of society.”

“You’ve got the dean, you’ve got people with power in charge, and then you’ve got the people, the students, and you’ve got a school newspaper, which is representing the press. We thought — seeing as we live in such hysterical times where everybody just wants to be right and does not listen anymore, where it’s just about cancelling the other person or ‘alternative facts’ as they get called — that we thought this might be a nice playground to experiment in.”

Rather, it’s a dangerous playground, with Carla Nowak, as a new maths and physical exercise teacher played ferociously well by German actress Leonie Benesch (The White Ribbon, The Swarm) who finds herself at the center of an incident involving money stolen on school premises.

Teachers ask the pupils to show them their wallets. It’s such an intrusive act, but Çatak explains that in reality every infraction is investigated to the nth degree in German education. “We discovered that many German schools have problems, obviously, but they also have policies of zero tolerance.”

Çatak and co-screenwriter Johannes Duncker (Dämmerung) had conducted research, most of it arranged by producing partner Ingo Fliess of Berlin’s IF Productions, then ran it by several teachers. “Education is a very sensitive topic in Germany,” says Çatak. “If you tackle it, you have to be prepared for the shitstorm, and you have to really do your research, so we talked to a lot of teachers, to psychologists who work in schools and we talked to students, and I went to schools and spent time in classes.”

He laughs as he recounts being back in class. “I sat there and I had the same feeling that I had when I was a student. I felt tired. I wanted to sleep, and I was like, ‘Why is school starting at eight in the morning? Why?”

He adds it’s “a proven fact” that students would learn more if schools would start later, but the reality is most parents need their children dropped off earlier so they can begin work at a contracted time. “School is daycare,” says Çatak.

He remembers his parents telling him never to question what a teacher said. “Nowadays, it’s the opposite. Parents and students are questioning the teachers and teachers have a way more difficult time than they used to have. That’s also because communication has gotten quicker. There were no WhatsApp groups or emails back in the day, but now it’s just any single, tiny thing becomes an issue.”

In the film, a pupil of Turkish descent is singled out as a suspect in the theft. That scene, Çatak says, was inspired by an incident he and Duncker, who have been friends since childhood, observed when they were pupils themselves.

Çatak recalls the story of two boys who were stealing, protected by the knowledge that their classmates would not want to snitch. One day, three teachers ordered Çatak, Duncker and the other children to put their wallets on a table. “So we wrote the scene, and we showed it to working teachers,” he adds. They confirmed similar issues happen “all the time” but said that you could not demand children’s possessions unless they voluntarily give them up.

He sighs as he recalls being singled out “as the Turkish kid growing up in Germany.”

“You do get racially profiled.”

As he dug deeper into life at school, Çatak realized that the film would be about children’s rights. “This is also about how you stand up to a hierarchy that puts you under pressure,” he says.

There are no victims in The Teachers’ Lounge, he adds. “Everybody has to fight and no one backs down. That was the goal of the film.”

And, whoosh! It’s like a nuclear warhead exploding.

“For me as a director, that is a very thankful thing. If you have conflict and you have friction in your scenes, that’s drama. You don’t have to do anything as a director because the actors know what to do. They have a clear goal.”

Fitting in

Çatak was born in Berlin to Turkish parents. For the most part, he was the only “brown kid” in his class. He realized much later in life that he would ”start compensating with certain behaviours “to fit in. “You are just trying to make it work and also be invisible, and you put extra effort in looking good, having everything ironed, so that you are not the foreigner; the odd one out.”

We all have these protective mechanisms that we’re often not aware of when we’re young, and I know exactly what Çatak’s talking about.

I was raised in Richmond, just on the outskirts of London. There was one other Black kid in my school. I used to get stopped by police all the time and just like Çatak, I would learn to dress up so smart that there would have to be a damn good reason for the cops to stop me on my street.

When Çatak was 12 his family moved to Istanbul, returning to Germany when he was 18. His father worked for the postal service and his mother worked in a bank. “We’re basically working class people. My grandparents, who were fabric workers, came to Germany in the early 1970s. They were illiterates and they learned to write and read just in Germany,” Çatak tells me.

Art was not a big thing in the family. “I’m an only child and for them the most important thing was to see me studying,” he recalls.

After high school, he studied economics at university in Berlin. He was unhappy. “I hated it, and my escape was the movie theater. I went to the movies all the time. At some point I went to the job center where you can have a free consultation in what you want to do with your life. And the guy said, “What do you like doing?”

“I said, ‘I like going to the movies.’ And he said, I should should make some. It was as easy as that,” says Çatak, his eyes brightening at the memory.

By this time his friend Duncker was shooting short films, with Çatak performing in them. “We were young and we didn’t know what we were doing,” says Çatak.

But he knew that he would have to tell his parents. “’Guys, I’m quitting my studies to become a PA,’ he told them. And my parents said, ‘What is a PA? What are you doing there?’

“Well, I was basically I’m just blocking streets and making coffee for my bosses and whatnot. They went crazy.”

Part of their anger had to do with the fact that they had paid for his education during the six years they’d spent in Istanbul. “That was a good school and you don’t send your kid to such a school if the kid doesn’t want to study later.”

His parents accused him of “throwing it all away.”

It was the first “really big fight” he’d had with his parents. “I was living in their house, but not for long. I moved out and lived on the couches of friends. My father said, ‘Okay then, just piss off and never come back.”

Çatak applied to films schools and made more short films. He was broke and didn’t know what he was doing with his life. He started selling ice-cream at a parlour in Kreuzberg, using his earnings to finance his short films.

At some point, he made one film that he feels was was a turning point,” both in his career and between father and son.

It started when Çatak returned to the family home for his mother’s birthday. The family started playing a word game and Çatak and his father quarrelled over whether Namibia was a country or a city. Çatak was correct — it’s a country — but he was heartbroken that his father hid the fact he didn’t know.

Çatak and Duncker ended up making a twenty minute film called When Namibia was a City.

His father is the film’s lead.

The director sent me links to several of his shorts and earlier features over the course of our discussions. I watched When Namibia was a City over and over. It’s not the remotest bit mean about Çatak’s father. The camera seems to love him. Knowing the background, I found watching the short tremendously moving.

Ilker Çatak talks about his father Baz Bamigboye

The sense that art can help reconcile is so important in our fractured society.

“That film got a lot of invitations to festivals, and I would start travelling with my father to them,” Çatak says with pride.

“My father, who fiercely fought me for becoming a filmmaker, and me would be at those Q&As, and then a film critic made a list of the 10 most remarkable acting performances of that year, and there was my father, along with Robert de Niro.”

He takes a deep breath to keep the emotion at bay. “That was a turning point where he started also believing in me,” says Çatak. “He was the man who worked his life as a postman. I’d had to explain to him in the beginning what it means to be a director, but that was where everything changed and where I also thought, ‘Hey, maybe I’m not too bad at this.’ Things after that evolved, and I kept writing and making short films.”

I wondered about his parents now. Are they still with us?

“Yeah. And they are so proud,” he says with a beaming smile.

He notes how jubilant his parents were when The Teachers’ Lounge won prizes including the Lola in Gold for Best Feature Film at the German Film Awards, along with the awards for best director, actress, screenplay and editing, beating front-runner — and multi-Oscar winner — All Quiet on the Western Front for the top honor.

Germany has submitted The Teachers’ Lounge as its entry in the Academy’s Best International Feature Film category. Çatak’s father has been calling relatives in Anatolia to tell them about the film’s success. “What’s moving to me is the fact that they are moved and happy,” says Çatak.

He thinks back to something Brazil director Terry Gilliam once said about there being two kinds of films: the ones that have a message and the ones that pose a question. ”I prefer posing a question instead of a message,” says Çatak. “I like it when a film upsets me or when a film does not satisfy me, and this is what cinema is to me. It’s a space where I can put together the pieces myself; where I can interpret something.”

The Teachers’ Lounge doesn’t answer its fundamental question, which I won’t spoil here, but it considers the role of guilt. This prompts Çatak to discuss The Anatomy of a Fall, another film that explores similar thematic questions.

He’s a tremendous admirer of Justine Triet’s film because, ultimately, “it’s about how every society needs a scapegoat and how we as a society need these sacrifices in order to keep the machine running.”

But the bigger question to come out of The Teachers’ Lounge has to do with truth, a point to which Çatak nods his head in agreement. He ponders on “how everybody has their own truth, how truth becomes a matter of subjective perception and how everybody tries to make up their own truth. If truth is something that you can bend, then it becomes a matter of belief.”

And we know how dangerous so-called alternative truth has become. That’s why I feel The Teachers’ Lounge will find a receptive audience in the U.S. Çatak jokes that the student newspaper journalists in his film would have put Donald Trump under a spotlight he would not have liked.

‘Best of a generation’

Actors mine a script and extract the most telling material. That’s what Leonie Benesch does as Carla. Çatak hails her as the best of her generation. “She’s a young Isabelle Huppert,” he says. “She’s got something, like a magician. And I actually don’t want to know how the magician does this magic.”

However, he has ascertained that she combines “a mixture of between concentration and ‘laidback-ness’ in a way that I’ve never seen before. She could come into the room and be completely laid back and relaxed, and then boom, she’s concentrated and on point.”

He’d watched her performance in Michael Haneke’s 2009 Cannes prize winner The White Ribbon and wanted to work with her ever since. In the intervening years, Benesch studied at London’s Guildhall School of Music and Drama, sharpening and honing her talent before landing her role in Çatak’s buzzy film.

But just as integral to The Teachers’ Lounge are the kids that populate its classrooms. They were selected after exhaustive casting sessions, many of which Çatak led.

Those who made the final mix would have interviews with him. “I would talk to them and say, ‘Okay, here are three things. First, we are a family and these are your brothers and sisters, and if any one of us doesn’t feel well, we all take care of that person. Second, I want you to have a work ethic. I want you to go to sleep early. I want you to know your lines. I want you to behave. And third, there are no extras. You aren’t an extra. We are one entity.”

He added one other point to them: “I am not your boss and you are not the kid that I talk to. We are colleagues.”

Çatak’s right to favor provocation in art. It’s fun when a movie makes you mad.",1

Over 1 million of those have crossed into neighbouring countries, but more than 4.1 million have stayed in Sudan, where they have come under increasing financial pressure.

Most of those who fled Khartoum after war between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) broke out in mid-April have not returned. They face malnutrition, floods and scorpions as they depend for survival on handouts and meagre aid relief, the generosity of host communities stretched increasingly thin.

By El Tayeb Siddig, Nafisa Eltahir and Khalid Abdelaziz PORT SUDAN, Sudan (Reuters) – About two months after heavy clashes around his home in Sudan’s capital drove Sherif Abdelmoneim to flee, soaring rent and food costs forced the 36-year-old and his family of six to return to a city where fighting still rages.

“The states (outside Khartoum) are safe but the prices are expensive and rents are high, and we cannot continue with that,” Abdelmoneim said by phone from Omdurman, a city adjoining Khartoum where he has rented a house in an area where he can still hear artillery fire but is no longer in the midst of clashes.

The conflict has brought Sudan’s stagnant economy to its knees, blocking much trade and transport, hampering farming, halting many salary payments, and causing vast damage to infrastructure.

The country now has to draw on what meagre resources are left to support an internally displaced population which, when those made homeless by previous conflict are included, reaches nearly 7.1 million, more than any other in the world.

Aid workers expect that more of those who had paid rent or lodged for free when they fled the capital will end up in collective shelters as their funds dry up.

“We are hospitable but people are handling more than they can,” said Omar Othman, a government official in Kassala, where he said rents had risen sharply. “If the war continues, these people came with small savings so they will need shelter.”

‘LABOUR MARKET PARALYSED’

Host communities in areas little affected by fighting have been reeling from the knock-on effects of the war.

In Rabak, about 275km (170 miles) south of Khartoum, many young people had been trying to make a living in factories or as day labourers in the capital before the war broke out.

“For the locals the labour market is paralysed. Khartoum is the engine for the rest of the country,” said resident Fadeel Omer.

Displaced people in the city unable to afford rent were lodged in shelters with crumbling walls and scorpions, and several malnourished children had been dying daily in the city hospital, he said. Large groups had headed back to Khartoum.

In Merowe, 340km north of Khartoum, salaried workers and farmers have seen their income dry up, and local volunteers are struggling to provide basic meals to the displaced, some of whom were sleeping on sofas or tables, said lawyer and local volunteer Izdihar Jumaa.

Damage to infrastructure in the three regions worst affected by the war – Khartoum, Darfur and Kordofan – could be $60 billion, or 10% of its total value, said Ibrahim al-Badawi, Sudan’s former finance minister and an economics researcher. He estimated that gross domestic product could plunge 20% this year.

“If the war stops, Sudan would need emergency economic support of $5-10 billion to revive the economy,” he told Reuters in an interview in Dubai.

“The continuation of the war will lead to the destruction of the Sudanese economy and the state.”

AID EFFORT SHORTFALL

Since the start of the war, prices for many products soared. The currency has fallen as low as 900 Sudanese pounds to the dollar on the black market in the Red Sea city of Port Sudan, a hub for government officials and aid workers, from about 560 pounds in April.

A continuing lifeline for many is remittances sent by Sudanese living abroad, said Omar Khalil, who fled to Port Sudan from Omdurman in June with his wife and three children.

“They are the ones bearing this burden on their shoulders,” he said. “This cannot last forever.” Khalil and his wife, both former art teachers, now make ice cream at home to sell to supermarkets.

International aid efforts for Sudan are severely underfunded, with less than 25% of the $2.6 billion required for this year received by mid-August, according to the United Nations. Aid workers say relief operations have also been hindered by government red tape and the breakdown of services and logistics based in the capital.

Authorities are nervous about relief operations by local volunteers and want the displaced to be housed in camps, but there are no funds to run them on the scale that would be needed, said Will Carter of the Norwegian Refugee Council.

Across Sudan, some displaced people who had been renting were being evicted, though most were still lodging with extended families or strangers, he said. “We’re going to have an impasse – people squatting will be destitute within these cities,” he added.

Making the revelation, Additional Superintendent of Police in Kollam Rural R. Prathapan Nair said that the complaint filed by the Army personnel was fake and police suspect that he had planned the act with the intention of gaining national attention.

""Police have arrested the accused solider and his friend. The complaint of the Army personnel is fake, and it appears that he had orchestrated this deceitful act with the intention of gaining national attention and securing a better job opportunity. Both individuals will be produced before the court today itself,"" Nair said.

In his complaint, the Army personnel, identified as Shine Kumar, said he was attacked by a group of six men in a rubber forest next to his house in Kadakkal on Sunday night. They tied up his hands with tape, and wrote PFI on his back with green paint.

During the police interrogation, Shine's friend revealed the Army officer lodged the complaint to become famous. The Kollam Police have also recovered the pain and brush used to write PFI on the soldier's back.

Significantly, PFI stands for Popular Front of India, a banned Islamist outfit which is under the scanner of several central probe agencies, including National Investigation Agency (NIA), Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).",1

Scotland has the worst drug death rate in Europe with 1,051 people dying due to drug misuse last year alone.

Glasgow, Scotland – Peter Krykant, a 46-year-old Scotsman, is a drug policy activist. More than 20 years ago, he was sleeping rough and injecting heroin and crack cocaine on a daily basis.

“When I was young and [drug] dependent and on the streets, there wasn’t any thoughts of any change,” Krykant told Al Jazeera.

Keep reading list of 1 item list 1 of 1 The UK is still waging an unwinnable war on drugs end of list

“There were times when I was homeless, spat on and beaten up by people or arrested and taken to police cells for nothing more than how I looked at the time.”

Back then, there was nowhere in Scotland, or the rest of Britain, for Krykant and other drug users to consume in a safe and sterile environment.

But Glasgow, Scotland’s largest urban centre, will make history as the first city in the United Kingdom to host a pilot drug consumption room (DCR) if, as expected, city officials approve the scheme at a meeting on Wednesday.

The worst drug death rate

Scotland, the UK’s second largest constituent nation, which has had its own devolved parliament since 1999, has long had the worst drug death rate in Europe. Last year alone, 1,051 people died due to drug misuse.

The Scottish government, led by the Scottish National Party (SNP), has been the focus of opposition attacks for many years concerning its record on drug deaths.

This month, however, Scotland’s chief law officer, Lord Advocate Dorothy Bain, effectively green-lighted the long-awaited pilot project after announcing it would “not be in the public interest to prosecute drug users for simple possession offences committed within a pilot safer drugs consumption facility”.

Despite drug policy being reserved for the Conservative Party-led British government at Westminster and despite staunch opposition from the UK Home Office to DCRs – which, supporters say, help to reduce drug overdoses – justice falls under the purview of the Scottish Parliament, and under Scotland’s separate legal system, Bain has overall control of prosecution policy.

London has resisted repeated calls by the SNP government in Edinburgh to devolve drug policy to Scotland.

But in the face of the lord advocate’s recent announcement, the UK government said it would “not intervene” to stop the implementation of the trial in Glasgow, where more than 400 drug users regularly inject in public in the city centre.

For Krykant, who ran his own unsanctioned DCR in Glasgow from September 2020 to May 2021 in a minibus and a converted ambulance, it was a particularly poignant development.

“It was very emotional for me,” the campaigner said of hearing the lord advocate’s words and the UK government’s acquiescence.

“But that doesn’t mean that I am going to stop campaigning because we need more than a single overdose prevention site in Glasgow.”

Further to go

Many campaigners warn that Scotland must go further than simply implementing DCRs.

“It’s essential to recognise that DCRs alone cannot comprehensively address Scotland’s complex drug crisis,” opined Annemarie Ward, CEO of Faces and Voices of Recovery UK.

“The roots of addiction are entwined with social determinants of health, economic disparities and trauma, which also demand attention. DCRs primarily focus on harm reduction, mitigating immediate risks, but they do not directly guide individuals towards recovery or abstinence from drug use.”

Ward, who was once herself drug dependent but who has not used for more than 25 years, told Al Jazeera that it was important to also make clear that “Scotland’s high number of drug-related deaths [were] not just a statistic”.

“Imagine a vibrant city like Glasgow, known for its rich culture and history but also struggling with a very obvious and unavoidable epidemic,” she explained. “All across the city, there are individuals and families grappling with the harsh realities of addiction. … It’s the story of mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, friends and neighbours who have been swept away by the relentless grip of addiction.”

“It’s about shattered dreams, fractured communities and a healthcare system overwhelmed by the demand for treatment,” she said.

But in Scotland, which has long been polarised between supporters and opponents of Scottish independence, this issue has also fallen victim to political skirmishes over the constitution.

Despite Scotland’s previous lord advocate James Wolffe having rejected the idea of a DCR back in 2017, the Scottish Parliament’s anti-independence politicians seized on Bain’s announcement as proof that the nation’s current legislative framework was more than capable of tackling what many have called Scotland’s “drugs death shame”.

But others, such as Glasgow-based newspaper columnist and legal academic, Andrew Tickell, who blogs under “Lallands Peat Worrier”, maintain that a “constitutional dimension” to this issue was and remains “unavoidable”.

“The Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 is reserved to Westminster, but criminal justice and public health are broadly devolved,” Tickell told Al Jazeera. “This means [Scottish lawmakers] cannot unilaterally amend, change or disapply the 1971 act, but can spend money, for example, on drug treatment services, meaning [Edinburgh] does and does not have initiative in dealing with this public health issue.”

That said, by joining other nations such as Germany and Switzerland in operating DCRs, Scotland would face the tragic reality of its drugs crisis like never before.

“We saw people with wheelchairs having lost legs [to drug use],” Krykant recalled of his experiences running his own unsanctioned DCR in 2020 and 2021. “And people with rotting flesh where the smell was just overpowering.”",1

Johnny Mercer received almost £8,000 in taxpayers’ cash after he was sacked by Liz Truss, it has emerged.

The veterans minister was dismissed from his ministerial role as soon as Truss obtained the keys to No 10 last September. He appeared angry about Truss’s move saying he was “disappointed” but accepted that the prime minister is “entitled to reward her supporters”.

After Truss’s short stint in Downing Street, Mercer was reappointed to the role by Rishi Sunak, prompting questions over whether he had accepted the £16,876 payout to which he was entitled.

Ministers sacked and reappointed are able to claim thousands of pounds in redundancy pay as long as they have been out of a ministerial post for at least three weeks.

When contacted by the Guardian last September, Mercer did not respond to calls for comment on whether he had accepted the payout and what he was doing with the money.

He later said he did not get a £17,000 severance payment and he did not “talk about that stuff”.

But a new Cabinet Office report shows that the Tory minister received £7,920 for leaving his role on 6 September.

Rachel Hopkins, the shadow veterans minister, has asked Mercer in a letter to confirm whether he kept the payment or donated it to charity.

“The clear inference from that statement is you did not receive any taxpayers’ cash. I would remind you of the seven principles of public life which underpin the ministerial code – specifically that holders of public office should be truthful.”

She added: “As a serious matter of public interest, will you be contacting your local paper to correct the record and ensure there is no appearance of deliberately misleading your constituents?

“Do you agree that during a Conservative cost of living crisis, the acceptance of public funds – the equivalent of £130 per day during your tenure – in this manner by you and your colleagues undermines the trust of the electorate in our democratic institutions?”

Grant Shapps, who was also entitled to the £16,876 sum, was understood to be donating half of the sum to charity.

Dominic Raab, Michael Gove and Steve Barclay were also entitled to receive £16,876 each. Gove and Raab said they hoped to pay back half of the sum on a pro-rata basis.

Truss sacked a number of Boris Johnson’s allies when she became prime minister, and filled the cabinet with loyalists in a move to get her failed vision across.

NASSAU, BAHAMAS — A man has had his armed robbery conviction and sentence quashed by the Privy Council after expressing “deep concern” that he had been “languishing in prison” for over 12 years on the basis of a confession that should never have been admitted in evidence against him. In a judgement handed down yesterday, the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council allowed the appeal of Vinson Ariste and quashed his conviction and sentence of 15 years imprisonment. The appeal centered on a “confession” relied on at trial, which was forced from Ariste at a police station. On July 21 2010, Ariste was arrested at his home on suspicion of armed robbery. The victim Andrea Donaldson was robbed at gunpoint by a number of men. Ariste, who was aged 20 at the time, was arrested by the police at his home on 21 July 2010. Across six days in police detention, he was beaten and denied legal representation by police. During this ordeal, Ariste was said to have been forced to “confess” to a number of offenses, including a separate armed robbery, possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life and murder. In total, he was made to confess to at least seven other crimes that he did not commit. All questioning took place without the presence of a lawyer. At his trial, Ariste claimed to have been beaten by the police with a cutlass and baseball bat and also being suffocated with a bag and water, a practice known as ‘fish bagging’, during his police interrogation. The Privy Council determined that the trial judge made an incorrect decision on a question of law or fact in admitting the confession after the voir dire. The Privy Council also found that the Court of Appeal was therefore incorrect to have dismissed his appeal. The Court of Appeal had determined that the trial judge was correct in admitting the record of the interview and determined that based on the evidence presented, Ariste’s injuries were sustained prior to him coming into police custody. “We cannot conclude this judgment without expressing the Board’s deep concern about what has happened in this case. A young man has been languishing in prison for over 12 years on the basis of a confession that should never have been admitted in evidence against him,” the Privy Council stated. Ariste, was represented by Paul Bowen KC, Emma Mockford, Jagoda Klimowicz of Brick Court Chambers (UK) and Krysta A. Mason Smith of Murrio Ducille & Co (The Bahamas). On hearing the news of the judgment Ariste said: “I am just happy I got my life back. This has lifted a huge burden off of my shoulders and has proven what I’ve been trying to tell the world all along – that I am innocent and, that I knew nothing of these matters. I am just so happy that I can move on and get my life back together. I feel uplifted. Thank God!” Parvais Jabbar, Co-Executive Director of The Death Penalty Project—a legal action NGO—said: “At every stage, both at the police station and at trial, Mr Ariste has been failed by the criminal justice system. He suffered unforgivable abuse during his time in police custody. His case is just one example of coercive and unlawful policing practices that can lead to individuals being wrongfully convicted. “An innocent person has lost years of his life for a crime he did not commit. Due process rights must be at the forefront of the trial process to avoid similar miscarriages of justice,” said Jabbar.",1

Scores of students were injured in Imphal as police fired tear gas shells to disperse a crowd that had gathered to protest the killing of two Meitei students who went missing in July. The photos of the bodies of the two friends surfaced on social media a day ago. Manipur government said the two students were “murdered.”

State Government ordered the closure of all schools in Manipur in September 27 and 28 in wake of the “prevailing law and order situation.” Mobile Internet services were suspended again for five days shortly after being restored on September 23, as many as 143-days since the ethnic violence between the tribal Kuki-Zo and Meitei people erupted on May 3.

On September 26, State police and central security forces conducted raids to trace the bodies of the two at Joujangtek in Bishnupur district, their last known location.

According to an August 2 report by Imphal police on “progress of investigation,” the two friends were last seen clicking selfies and photographs near a stone quarry at Laikha on July 6.

The report said that some Kuki village volunteers of Joupi village advised them to return home but the 20-year-old man went to a Kuki bunker looking for a banned substance. “In no less time, some armed Kuki militants in a four wheeler jeep/gypsy arrived and took them to an unknown place,” the report said.

Police said in its report that no eye-witnesses could be found during the investigation and they could not easily visit the suspected place of occurrence of crime “as the areas are mostly dominated by the Kuki militants.” The report, based on information provided by “sources” and examination of an unnamed police official, added that the State Investigating Agency was “handicapped in carrying out the investigation” as the case involved “armed Kuki Militants ”adding that the probe should be handled by highly trained and resourceful investigating agency such as the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which can “access all areas of the country to book and prosecute offenders by appropriate law of the land.” The case was handed over to CBI the same month. Police has handed over the call detail records and other evidence collected so far to the CBI.

According to the report, part of an application filed by a Meitei group in Supreme Court, the 17-year-old girl’s father had initially registered a case of abduction and the 20-year-old deceased was named as a suspect. The case was filed after the girl did not return home from tuition classes.

However, the police report said that the two are “suspected to have been kidnapped and murdered by the Kuki militants on the basis of ethnic cleansing.”

The photos of the bodies of the two Meitei students surfaced on social media on Monday, a couple of days after mobile Internet services were restored in the State. In one of the photos, the two friends are seen sitting next to each other, with armed men in the background. In another photo, their bodies are seen lying near a rock.

On Tuesday, 24 legislators from Manipur submitted a memorandum to Home Minister Amit Shah’s office in Delhi that the CBI may be directed to take expeditious action so that the guilty are brought to book and justice is served at the earliest as was done in the May 4 incident. Two tribal women were gangraped and paraded naked in Thoubal on May 4, the video of which went viral on July 19.",1

The allegations in the FIR included criminal conspiracy and the provision of various credit facilities and loans using fake and forged documents.

These actions resulted in the misappropriation of funds among the accused, leading to a significant financial loss of Rs. 1.45 crore to Allahabad Bank. Furthermore, the partners of the firm have been accused of cheating the bank with the assistance of one of its officials who was the then branch manager.

The bank official, identified as Vishal Kumar, is charged with sanctioning the loan amount to the company and even furnishing fake documents to siphon the facility to Laxmi Corrugated.

Together, they manipulated the system by securing an MSME loan through deceptive means. They provided false net worth certificates, fabricated machinery quotations, and submitted other fraudulent documents. This allowed them to obtain an MSME term loan of Rs. 90.5 Lakh and a cash credit of Rs. 45 Lakh from the bank.

Prison officers in England and Wales could be allowed to use pepper spray to incapacitate children under plans to curb a sharp increase in violence at young offender institutions, the Guardian has learned.

Dogs and stun grenades are used in some YOIs to defuse conflict among 15- to 18-year-olds, the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) has said.

Two teenagers were burned in May by a grenade, a device designed to temporarily disorient not but physically harm.

Whitehall sources confirmed that the use of Pava spray, a synthetic form of pepper spray, across the five YOIs in England and Wales was under discussion by ministers.

It follows demands from the prison officers’ union for the introduction of the incapacitant spray after attacks on staff.

Any decision to allow the use of Pava on juveniles would be opposed by prison welfare charities and the prisons’ watchdog, who say its use would create further divisions between staff and the minors in their care.

Squirted from a canister, Pava spray, or pelargonic acid vanillylamide, causes searing pain and discomfort in the eyes for about 40 minutes and a burning sensation to skin.

In 2018, it was rolled out in men’s prisons in England and Wales. Since then, there have been claims of disproportionate use against disabled people and those from minority ethnic backgrounds.

Black adult prisoners were seven times more likely to have Pava spray used against them than white prisoners, MoJ figures showed in December.

The prison officers’ union, the POA, has called for the spray to be introduced in YOIs to restore confidence among staff.

Mark Fairhurst, the union’s national chair, said: “Our members must be given the chance to protect themselves and others. They are open to unprovoked attacks and witness horrendous violence without the ability to intervene. No wonder it has become so difficult to retain staff in these institutions.”

One prison officer said violence in the youth estate was “off the scale”, citing a “mass brawl” at Feltham YOI in west London this month.

“They were doing lessons when a rival gang of children smashed through the glass walls to start a huge fight,” the prison officer said. MoJ sources confirmed the brawl and said it was “resolved swiftly, with no children suffering serious injury”.

Between June 2022 and June 2023, the MoJ said the National Dog and Technical Support Group was deployed 62 times to YOIs, with dogs – German shepherds or similar – used in six of those incidents.

In information released to the Prison Reform Trust after a freedom of information request, the MoJ said general patrol dogs were not routinely used in the youth estate but deployed as a “high-level control measure”.

The request also revealed that in May 2023, two children were treated for minor burns “after the deployment of pyrotechnics at Werrington YOI [in Staffordshire] on to an exercise yard as part of an emergency intervention”.

The MoJ uses a type of stun grenade called Nico 9, which emits a blinding light and nine bangs at 170 decibels.

One criminal defence lawyer said violence, often related to gangs within YOIs, had become so severe that young people on remand were refusing to leave their cells.

“Some of our clients who are in prison, often on remand, are not coming to legal visits inside the prison when we come to see them because they are scared they will be attacked by another prisoner on the way from their cell to the legal visit room,” the lawyer said.

“Prisons have non-association lists to try to keep certain prisoners apart from each other if they are in rival gangs or live in different postcodes but sometimes attacks still happen.”

Evidence of rising violence in YOIs, which hold boys and young men between the ages of 15 and 21, has emerged in recent reports from the prisons watchdog.

In July, the chief inspector of prisons reported that children had armed themselves with hundreds of homemade weapons at Cookham Wood in Kent. The detention facility, which holds 77 boys, was described as “appalling”, violence was “rife” and weapon-making “widespread”.

The report said 228 weapons were found in the six months leading up to the inspection. Security checks were “inadequate”, while nearly a quarter of boys aged 15-18 said they felt unsafe. A number of the 360 members of staff were described as “demoralised” and “frightened”, with some seeming to have “given up”, according to the watchdog.

According to the non-profit prisoners’ paper Inside Time, each teenager costs the taxpayer £275,000 a year – six times the fees for attending Eton College.

Despite the report’s alarming findings, Charlie Taylor, the chief inspector of prisons, questioned extending the use of Pava to children. “My worry is that it starts off as being used in exceptional circumstances but suddenly those circumstances become less exceptional,” he said.

John Drew, an associate of the Prison Reform Trust, said Pava would mean extending the use of threats within the institution.

“Routinely arming staff with Pava could lead to the threat of violence becoming normalised in the management of children in custody. It risks adding to rather than reducing a deteriorating cycle of violence in the youth estate,” he said.

It is understood that civil servants are working with medical advisers and legal experts on whether to roll out Pava to the youth estate.

An MoJ spokesperson said: “The number of children in custody has fallen by 77% in the last decade meaning those who are in our care have often committed violent offences and pose a significant challenge to staff working in the youth justice system.

“The safety of staff and children is our number one priority and the use of advanced de-escalation techniques is extremely rare in the youth estate. They are used only by specially-trained officers as a last resort to resolve dangerous situations.”",1

Continue reading... A man jailed for murdering his estranged wife 20 years ago who still refuses to say where he hid her body is not safe to be released from prison, the Parole Board has said.

Glyn Razzell killed his wife, Linda, in 2002 but at a public Parole Board hearing last month insisted she was still alive and one of the reasons he wanted to be freed was to find her and prove she had framed him.

The Parole Board concluded Razzell was still trying to control the narrative surrounding his detention and said it had taken into account the so-called Helen’s Law, which makes it harder for prisoners to be released if they do not disclose the whereabouts of a victim’s body.

It said it was likely he committed abusive, threatening and violent behaviour towards Linda Razzell before the murder. The Parole Board also expressed concerns about his conduct in prison towards female professionals, which showed a continuing risk.

A summary of the decision published on Tuesday said: “The panel considered ‘Helen’s Law’ with great care. The panel did not know how or where the victim’s remains were disposed of, and it believed that Mr Razzell had information about this. The panel took into account Mr Razzell’s non-disclosure and the reason, in its view, he had failed to disclose information.”

It continued: “Mr Razzell had not disclosed information because he continues to deny killing the victim, does not want to lose his desired status of being a ‘wrongly convicted murderer’ and he has been attempting ‘self-preservation’ to keep himself ‘psychologically intact’ by keeping control of the narrative.”

The panel said there was “ample evidence that Mr Razzell is capable of wholesale deceit” and “his wilful and deliberate withholding of the relevant information indicates that he continues to be a risk”.

It said risk factors that made it more likely he would reoffend if he was released included his difficulties in managing extreme emotions. The murder had been characterised by “significant planning, and boundless deception”, leading the panel to decide that professionals might not be able to rely on his accounts of his behaviour in the community if he were to be released.

Razzell was found guilty in 2003 of the murder of his wife, who was 41 when she went missing from the market town of Highworth in Wiltshire the previous year, and he was sentenced to life in prison.

At the parole hearing – one of the first in the UK to be heard in public – Razzell, now 64, was asked repeatedly to say where Linda Razzell’s remains were so their children could bury them, but he claimed he had nothing to do with her death and his wife must have worked with someone to plant the splashes of her blood that were found in the boot of a car he had used.

He said: “It was placed there to incriminate me. It must have been with Linda’s involvement because it was fresh blood. I’m not victim-blaming her. I’m saying she was alive a week after she was supposed to be dead.”",1

Blood stains on the mattresses. Hearing screaming as she was inside her cell. Being forced to wash blood out of cars. The endless sexual abuse. Transgender women like González often pretended to be asleep when a guard appeared in the middle of the night, she remembered. “I was always the one who bore the brunt,” González, 65, told AP journalists during a visit to the cell where she was held. “I was younger.” González and four other transgender women testified at the trial of former security officers in April on charges of crimes against humanity, part of what human-rights lawyers and activists call Argentina’s long-overdue effort to recognize the suffering of the trans community under military rule from 1976 to 1983. Members of the community took part in a demonstration last month in support of a bill under discussion in a congressional committee that would provide a lifetime pension for trans people over 40. Patricia Alexandra Rivas, 56, said at the demonstration that she was raped and tortured while illegally detained for five days in 1981, when she was 14. The people who did the dictatorship’s dirty work were particularly brutal to members of the trans community, which continued to suffer after the return of democracy in 1983. But things have been changing in Argentina: More than a decade ago, the country approved a landmark gender-identity law that allowed people to change their gender on documents without permission. More recently, Congress passed a law that reserves 1% of public sector jobs for trans individuals. “They were brought to this place, tortured, raped, subjected to slave labor, deprived of their freedom and then released,” assistant prosecutor Ana Oberlin said while standing outside a set of cells at the Banfield Pit, a suburban former police station that was one of hundreds of illegal detention and torture centers in the capital. Military rule engulfed much of Latin America in the 1970s and ’80s and human rights organizations say some 30,000 people were illegally detained and disappeared without a trace in Argentina. Until recently, little was said about how the trans community suffered under the military rulers. Part of the reason why the recognition has taken so long is because violence against members of the trans community, “is completely normalized,” said Marlene Wayar, 53, a transgender activist and author who gave expert testimony at the trial. This dynamic largely played out in the 296 trials relating to dictatorship-era crimes against humanity that have taken place since 2006, after amnesty laws were struck down, in which 1115 people have been convicted, according to the Public Prosecutor’s Office. It’s only recently that Argentina has begun discussing gender roles and sexual mores under the dictatorship, Oberlin said, including a “model of family that laid out the role that men and women must play.” Oberlin played a key role in including the testimony of the five transgender women who were held in the Banfield Pit as part of a trial that started in 2020, in which 12 officers are facing crimes against humanity charges for actions that took place in three clandestine detention centers involving some 700 victims. Violence at the hands of security forces was something that González was used to when she and other trans women were detained by police in 1977 or 1978 — she doesn’t remember the exact date — while working as prostitutes. They ended up in the Banfield Pit. “They pick us up, and I didn’t want to get in the truck, so he hit me on the back with a rifle like this, grabbed me by the hair, ‘Of course you’re going inside,’” González recalled. González and her friends were locked up in a cell where they often heard people they didn’t see cry out in pain. One night they heard a girl yell out several times and then a baby could be heard crying, González said. “I spent my whole life wondering” about that baby, she said. Security officers often stole babies that were born from pregnant detainees, who were then disappeared. González and her cellmates were forced to do various types of work, including cooking and cleaning cars, “many of which had blood inside,” González testified in April. “They also abused us sexually,” González testified at the trial, frequently describing instances in which she was raped. “Could you refuse?” Oberlin asked González. “No, no,” González answered with a shrug. “It was, I don’t know, at the time it was normal.” One time, she was picked up and gang-raped by a group of soldiers. “When those things happen, you know, I think about other things,” she said in her old cell. Although trans women, who largely had to resort to prostitution to make a living, were used to abuse from security forces, things worsened for them during the dictatorship that pushed a traditional conception of the family. “In addition to rape and torture, they were subjected to extreme brutality precisely because of their gender identities,” Oberlin said. The sentences in the case, which are expected by the end of the year “will be very important,” notes Oberlin, because trans women were taken to illegal detention centers “across the country” and it could open the door for others to testify. For her part, González said she “never” thought that she was going to be testifying at a trial. For a long time, she thought that what she had experienced at the Banfield Pit “was not important.” But now she knows “it is important,” González said. “Now that we can talk … be listened to when we were always so quiet,” she said.",1

(AP Photo/Charlie Neibergall, File) The Biden administration says it has detected and stopped a network attempting to smuggle people from Uzbekistan into the United States and says at least one member of the network had links to a foreign terrorist group WASHINGTON -- The Biden administration said Tuesday that it detected and stopped a network attempting to smuggle people from Uzbekistan into the United States and that at least one member of the network had links to a foreign terrorist group. U.S. officials do not believe the Uzbek nationals who used the smuggling network had any terrorist ties or were planning a terrorist attack, said a statement from National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson. The statement did not specify the foreign terrorist group, but a U.S. official told The Associated Press that it was the Islamic State. The official was not authorized to speak about the ongoing investigation and spoke on the condition of anonymity. The U.S. worked with governments overseas to detain key members of the smuggling network, including the person with the foreign terrorism links, the NSC said. The statement did not specify how the person was linked to the terrorist group or what governments the U.S. worked with to apprehend the smugglers. The FBI, which has been investigating, also stressed that it had not identified any specific terrorism threat associated with the migrants. ""Whenever we have indicators that criminal actors — such as those involved in human smuggling — have connections to terrorism, we work diligently with our partners to investigate and understand how foreign terrorist organizations may attempt to exploit their capabilities so that we can best mitigate any risk to the American public,"" the FBI said in a statement. The U.S. is working with the foreign partners to shut down the travel routes used by the smuggling network and to identify the people who used it to enter the country, the NSC said. “Since this information became available, those encountered at the border who fit the profile associated with individuals who were facilitated by this network are being placed into expedited removal, being thoroughly vetted against national security and public safety systems, and generally detained pending removal,” the statement read. CNN, which first reported the detection of the smuggling network, said more than a dozen people from the Central Asian country who used the network were allowed to enter the United States. Biden administration officials have often noted the role that smuggling networks play in encouraging people from across the world to seek entry into the United States and facilitate their travel to the southern border, often describing the networks as ruthless, sophisticated operations that prey on the desperation of migrants seeking a new life. Decades ago, most migrants attempting to cross the border illegally were men from Mexico who were trying to find work in America. But in recent years, immigration officials have increasingly encountered migrants from across the Southern Hemisphere and beyond. In addition to people from Uzbekistan, there have been increasing numbers of people from Afghanistan, China and Mauritania, to name just a few. News of the smuggling effort comes as Republicans have been accusing the administration of not doing enough to secure the border and endangering national security.",1

The Council also concluded an interactive dialogue on the situation of human rights in Belarus, and began an interactive dialogue on the oral update of the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine. Erik Møse Chair of the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine, presenting the oral update, said that well into the second year of the armed conflict, people in Ukraine had been continuing to cope with the loss and injury of loved ones, large-scale destruction, suffering, trauma, and economic hardship. Thousands had been killed and injured and millions remained internally displaced or out of the country. There was continuing evidence of war crimes committed by the Russian armed forces in Ukraine. The Commission was now undertaking in-depth investigations regarding unlawful attacks with explosives, torture, sexual and gender-based violence, and attacks on energy infrastructure. Mr. Møse said the Commission had collected further evidence indicating that the use of torture by Russian armed forces in areas under their control had been widespread and systematic: the principal victims had been persons accused of being informants of the Ukrainian forces. Similar methods of torture were used across different facilities during interrogation sessions, mainly aimed at extracting information from the victims. The Commission was also concerned about the possibility of genocide and incitement to genocide, and was continuing its investigations. Ukraine, speaking as a country concerned, said until today, accountability for Russia’s criminal legacy in Chechnya, Georgia, Ukraine and Syria was largely lacking, which had paved the way to its aggression against Ukraine. Ukraine was grateful to the United Nations Human Rights Council for its rapid response by setting up the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine with a clear mandate to investigate all alleged violations and abuses of human rights and humanitarian law, in the context of the aggression against Ukraine by the Russian Federation. Ukraine continued to document, investigate and prosecute over 100,000 incidents of war crimes. In the discussion, some speakers thanked the Commission of Inquiry for the update and the continuous work in investigating all alleged violations and abuses of international law stemming from the Russian aggression against Ukraine. Speakers condemned the systematic and widespread use of torture, the wilful killings and summary executions, attacks on civilians, rape, unlawful confinement and unlawful transfers, as documented by the Commission. Some speakers said Ukrainian children had been transferred or deported to Russian-occupied areas or to the Russian Federation, and separated from their families for a prolonged time. It was vital to ensure the safe return of Ukrainian children and accountability of the perpetrators. Speakers reiterated their resolute condemnation of Russia’s war of aggression, which violated international law and the United Nations Charter. Investigations needed to continue until full accountability and justice were ensured. At the beginning of the meeting, the Council held its annual discussion on the integration of a gender perspective on the theme of revisiting gender parity and its contributions to the integration of gender into the work of international human rights bodies, including the Human Rights Council and its mechanisms. Nada Al-Nashif, United Nations Deputy High Commissioner for Human Rights, opening the discussion, said the Human Rights Council had demonstrated its commitment to enhancing women’s meaningful participation in its work by requesting the Advisory Committee to prepare a report on the levels of representation of women in human rights organs and mechanisms. Since 2015, there had been increased appointment by the Council of female experts as Special Procedures mandate holders. As an International Gender Champion, the High Commissioner was committed to parity for panel speakers and combatting gender-based violence and vowed to foster the meaningful involvement and participation of young women and girls of diverse origins in programmes and initiatives by the Office. Aua Baldé, Chair of the Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances, panellist, said 2023 marked an unprecedented moment in the history of the Working Group, which was currently and for the first time composed of five female members. The Working Group had currently 47,774 outstanding cases of which 4,945 concerned women. The gender dimension of enforced disappearances was multi-layered and complex and often not sufficiently recognised. It was only fitting that the international community recognise and publicly celebrate the uncompromising struggle of women who kept alive the fight against enforced disappearances. Frans Viljoen, Member of the Advisory Committee of the Human Rights Council, panellist, said there had been considerable progress, both within the Human Rights Council Special Procedures and treaty body mechanisms. A majority of thematic special rapporteurships were now held by women, standing at 58 per cent. However, even if most thematic rapporteurs were women, country-specific mandates were still held by a majority of men. A significant part of the report was devoted to the challenges at the national level, which had resulted in an insufficient number of women being nominated for and elected to United Nations positions. The report urged States to ensure that more female candidates were identified, nominated and elected or appointed. Alejandra Vicente, Legal Director of Redress and member of the GQUAL Campaign Secretariat, panellist, said as of today, out of 81 members holding Special Procedures, 45 were women, namely 55 per cent, leading to gender parity for the first time in the history of the Special Procedures. Such progress was not the result of luck, but the impact of increased attention to gender equality within the work of the Human Rights Council, the concerted action of States that had sponsored key resolutions on gender parity within the Council, the priority of the President of the Council to ensure women were elected to positions where they had been historically left out, and the work of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights. In the discussion, some speakers said that achieving gender parity was an urgent priority and was essential to the United Nations’ efficiency, impact and credibility. Gender equality and non-discrimination were two fundamental principles which underpinned the realisation of human rights. Speakers welcomed the Human Rights Council’s increased efforts to achieve balanced gender representation, including as part of the existing system-wide strategy on gender parity. However, challenges remained within the United Nations system which needed to be jointly addressed. The international community was still far away from the target of equal representation in the human rights organs and mechanisms. The Council also concluded the interactive dialogue on the situation of human rights in Belarus, which began at the previous meeting. A summary can be viewed here. Nada Al-Nashif, United Nations Deputy High Commissioner for Human Rights, in concluding remarks, welcomed the statement of the delegate of Belarus on the need to build dialogue, and not fences, and she looked forward to this occurring. The Office stood ready to engage. Belarus should offer free and unrestricted access to all human rights monitors, and cooperate with the Office and other human rights mechanisms, as well as ratify the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture. On accountability, Member States could work towards this through national proceedings in line with international human rights standards and in the context of extraterritorial and extrajudicial legislation. In the discussion, some speakers said the report vividly highlighted the heightened plight of human rights defenders in Belarus and those identified as opponents of the regime since the disputed 2020 election. They were concerned about peaceful activists, opposition leaders, journalists and bloggers being held in prisons only because they were not afraid to exercise their rights - the right to participate in peaceful assemblies, to express their opinion and to be involved in political activities. There was severe repression in Belarus with over 40,000 arrests and 12,000 politically motivated prosecutions since 2020. Speaking in the discussion on gender parity were Spain, Norway on behalf of a group of countries, Canada on behalf of a group of countries, European Union, Indonesia on behalf of a group of countries, Jamaica on behalf of a group of countries, Luxembourg on behalf of Benelux, Chile on behalf of a group of countries, Brazil, France, Switzerland, Costa Rica, Slovenia, United Nations Women, Republic of Korea, Egypt, Colombia, China, Georgia, United Nations Population Fund, Romania, South Africa, Angola, Peru, Togo, Senegal, Mauritius and Sierra Leone. Also speaking were Action Canada for Population and Development, Asian-Pacific Resource and Research Centre for Women, International Lesbian and Gay Association, Plan International, Inc., and Akshar Foundation. Speaking in the discussion on Belarus were Human Rights House Foundation, Conscience and Peace Tax International, International Bar Association, Right Livelihood Award Foundation, International Federation for Human Rights Leagues, Institute for Human Rights, Amnesty International, and Institute for Reporters' Freedom and Safety. Speaking in the discussion on Ukraine were Lithuania on behalf of the Nordic-Baltic states, European Union, Denmark on behalf of a group of countries, United Nations Women, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Republic of Korea, Czechia, Italy, Slovenia, Portugal and Finland.

The Council will reconvene at 3 p.m. this afternoon to continue the interactive dialogue on the oral update of the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine, followed by an interactive dialogue with the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. Annual Discussion on the Integration of a Gender Perspective on Revisiting Gender Parity and its Contributions to the Integration of Gender into the Work of International Human Rights Bodies, including the Human Rights Council and its Mechanisms Opening Statement NADA AL-NASHIF, United Nations Deputy High Commissioner for Human Rights, said the equal representation and participation of women in public and political life was necessary to deliver on the promise of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Some countries had advanced in achieving gender parity in parliament, yet equal representation across all national decision-making bodies remained an elusive goal. According to 2023 data, only 9.8 per cent of countries had women Heads of Government, compared to a decade ago when the figure stood at 7.3 per cent. Women today represented 22.8 per cent of Cabinet Ministers and only 13 countries had gender-equal cabinets. While 2022 marked the year in which women were represented in every single functioning parliament in the world, the share of women parliamentarians today still stood at only 26.5 per cent. For decades, women had also been underrepresented as judges, commissioners, or members of international decision-making bodies, occupying only 44 out 249 seats in international tribunals, 62 out 283 in regional human rights courts, or 46 out of 168 in international commissions. Women’s participation in public life delivered better and more transformative results. During the COVID pandemic, women’s participation led to more proactive and coordinated policy responses, which prioritised clear communication, rapid response, and social protection. In an open letter issued last June, the High Commissioner called for decisive actions to tackle gender-based discrimination and stereotypes undermining efforts towards parity. These efforts should also be accompanied by practical measures through education and awareness; more ambitious quotas; greater visibility to women role models; and the integration of a gender perspective in the work of international human rights bodies. The Human Rights Council had demonstrated its commitment to enhancing women’s meaningful participation in its work, requesting the Advisory Committee to prepare a report on the levels of representation of women in human rights organs and mechanisms. Since 2015, there had been increased appointment by the Council of female experts as Special Procedures mandate holders. Some tangible progress was also visible in the treaty bodies, with an increase from 41.8 per cent in 2015, to 52.9 per cent today of women experts in Committees. The Office had developed guidance to help Member States in their efforts towards gender integration and parity, such as the updated handbook issued jointly with the Inter-Parliamentary Union. As an International Gender Champion, the High Commissioner committed to parity for panel speakers and combatting gender-based violence and vowed to foster the meaningful involvement and participation of young women and girls of diverse origins in programmes and initiatives by the Office. The Office had taken decisive steps to close the gender gap: women represented 58 per cent of “professional” staff, and 50 per cent of senior managers. The message of the Office was unequivocal: the participation and equal representation of women were essential for the protection and promotion of human rights. Statements by the Panellists AUA BALDÉ, Chair of the Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances, said 2023 marked an unprecedented moment in the history of the Working Group, which was currently and for the first time composed of five female members. The Working Group had currently 47,774 outstanding cases of which 4,945 concerned women. While women may comprise the minority of the disappeared, they undoubtedly were the majority of those at the forefront of the search for their disappeared relatives, often at great personal risk. The gender dimension of enforced disappearances was multi-layered and complex and often not sufficiently recognised. It encompassed women as victims of enforced disappearances – be it when they themselves were subject to enforced disappearance or by the virtue of their family ties to the disappeared, but also as activists and front-line human rights defenders in the struggle against enforced disappearances. Despite the adversity and maybe because of it, women relatives of the disappeared had emerged as activists, leading human rights movements in a relentless struggle for truth, justice and accountability. Women had from the beginning created and run family associations and civil society organizations, which in no small measure pushed for, and led to, the adoption of the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearances, the United Nations international legally binding instrument aiming at preventing and eradicating enforced disappearances. Thus, it was only fitting that the international community recognise and publicly celebrate the uncompromising struggle of women who kept alive the fight against enforced disappearances and who, from the grassroots, influenced the national, regional, and international agendas, including within the various United Nations organs and human rights mechanisms. Women were indeed and had always been, unmistakeably, the driving force behind the quest for truth, justice, reparations, and the memory of victims of enforced disappearances. The Working Group believed that not one single human rights’ issue would advance and thrive without women’s equal representation in international decision-making bodies. Such change would not happen by chance, but it rather required concerted and conscious efforts and strong political will to translate words into action. If the fight against enforced disappearances – and for that matter, the human rights fight – was to succeed, women must have unhindered access to national, regional and international human rights forums and to taking part actively in all steps of the process, from the decision-making, the implementation and evaluation. FRANS VILJOEN, Member of the Advisory Committee of the Human Rights Council, said in 2021, the Committee submitted its report ‘Current levels of representation of women in human rights organs and mechanisms: ensuring gender balance’ (A/HRC/47/51). In its resolution 50/18, adopted in 2022, the Council took note of the recommendations contained in this report and encouraged States to consider ways to enhance the participation of women in the work of the Council. In its report, the Advisory Committee expressed concern about the general picture of women’s underrepresentation in United Nations human rights bodies and mechanisms. Part of what the Advisory Committee did today was provide empirical evidence about the extent of female representation within the United Nations human rights world by tracking numbers and percentages. There had been considerable progress, both within the Human Rights Council Special Procedures and treaty body mechanisms. A majority of thematic special rapporteurships were now held by women, standing at 58 per cent. However, even if most thematic rapporteurs were women, country-specific mandates were still held by a majority of men. Even if, overall, treaty body-gender parity had been achieved, women had never made up the majority in five of these bodies. In its report, the Advisory Committee had some words of criticism about its own composition, noting that the Committee reached its highest female representation in 2020, but at a lowly 39 per cent. However, when the Committee met in August the current female membership stood at 44.4 per cent and would grow to 50 per cent by February 2024 A significant part of the report was devoted to the challenges at the national level, which resulted in an insufficient number of women being nominated for and elected to United Nations positions. The most basic challenge was the absence of formal, transparent and public procedures for selecting candidates, which often favoured the nomination of male candidates. Where national-level selection processes existed, they generally did not require that consideration be given to gender balance. A number of recommendations of the report encouraged the Council and its organs to take a more vociferous leadership role on the issue. One specific example was the recommendation that, ‘where two candidates are of equal merit, the President of the Human Rights Council should recommend the candidate of the underrepresented gender’. Aligned with the report’s recommendations, the Office of the High Commissioner was making great efforts to disseminate vacancies of Special Procedures widely among women’s networks and kept track of the current gender composition of the mechanisms. The report urged States to ensure that more female candidates were identified, nominated and elected or appointed. In this regard, the recently adopted resolution of the Argentinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs was inspirational. In addition to setting out a transparent and inclusive national selection process for United Nations treaty membership, the resolution championed gender parity in the nomination as part of the equality guarantee in the country’s Constitution and the human rights treaties to which it was party. When voting, States were encouraged to elect members only of the gender that was currently underrepresented in the body. States were also encouraged to study the complete recommendations and to report on their domestic implementation in their periodic reports, and in their national reports presented as part of the Universal Periodic Review process. ALEJANDRA VICENTE, Legal Director of Redress and member of the GQUAL Campaign Secretariat, said the Gqual Campaign was launched in 2015 in response to a particular concern: despite the right to equality being recognised in several human rights treaties as well as in the Sustainable Development Goals, women were underrepresented in virtually all international human rights and justice institutions. Significant progress had been made since the GQUAL Campaign started its work. As of today, out of 81 members holding Special Procedures, 45 were women, namely 55 per cent, leading to gender parity for the first time in the history of the Special Procedures. Such progress was not the result of luck, but the impact of increased attention to gender equality within the work of the Human Rights Council, the concerted action of States that had sponsored key resolutions on gender parity within the Council, the priority of the President of the Council to ensure women were elected to positions where they had been historically left out, and the work of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights. The work of civil society, including the GQUAL Campaign and many other colleagues, had also been key by pointing to the existing challenges, making data and research available, advocating for change with a wide group of stakeholders, and contributing specific proposals to improve appointment processes to make gender parity a criteria and goal, among others. The work of the Council had positively impacted regional systems, but despite the progress achieved, many challenges remained. As of today, gender parity in the work of the Council was not guaranteed, as it had still not taken key measures that would institutionalise some practices to ensure gender equality. When it came to the role of States, very few States had implemented public national selection and nomination processes that considered gender parity as a goal. States should adopt formal processes that considered gender parity when selecting, nominating and voting for positions in international courts, bodies and mechanisms. As requested by the Council, the Office was encouraged to submit a progress report on existing nomination policies, practices and mechanisms, highlighting best practices, as well as progress indicators, obstacles to achieving gender parity, and proposed recommendations. The Council should ensure the Office had the resources needed to undertake this task. To conclude, the key message for the Council was that, as the progress made so far was celebrated, gender parity could only be sustained if further action was taken by States, the Council and the Office of the High Commissioner to learn from the recent good practices, and to adopt institutional processes that ensured gender equality in the long run. Discussion In the discussion, many speakers welcomed the panel’s theme on gender parity and its contribution to the integration of gender into the work of international human rights bodies, including the Human Rights Council and its mechanisms. Achieving gender parity was an urgent priority and was essential to the United Nations’ efficiency, impact and credibility. Gender equality and non-discrimination were two fundamental principles which underpinned the realisation of human rights. Women's leadership in institutions and in society was transformative and inclusive. Gender parity contributed to the integration of gender perspectives throughout the United Nations human rights mechanisms. This was important for the legitimacy and effectiveness of the Council and its mechanisms. Some speakers welcomed the Human Rights Council’s increased efforts to achieve balanced gender representation, including as part of the existing system-wide strategy on gender parity. The full, equal and meaningful participation and representation of women in international human rights bodies and United Nations structures was paramount. The Council had taken steps to reduce the gender gaps in human rights bodies and mechanisms, as indicated in the report of the Advisory Committee in 2021. The appointment of a gender focal point in the Council was welcomed, as was the fact that in 2022 for the first time, the Council reached parity in the appointment of Special Procedures mandate holders. Speakers also recalled the ongoing elaboration, by the Committee for the Elimination of Discriminations against Women, of a new general recommendation on equal and inclusive representation of women in decision-making systems. Many speakers emphasised their support for this resolution which would continue to inspire concrete action by States. Speakers commended human rights mechanisms, including Special Procedures, for addressing the gender dimensions of human rights violations and abuses. Some speakers noted that challenges remained within the United Nations system which needed to be jointly addressed. System-wide efforts needed to be continued, in areas where the representation of women had fallen below target. The obstacles that women encountered in their professional and political careers were part of a broader pattern of discrimination, which needed to be combatted from a multidimensional approach. The international community was still far away from the target of equal representation in the human rights organs and mechanisms. More women needed to be appointed as members of the treaty bodies and as mandate holders. Some speakers said governments had a responsibility to appoint women to decision-making positions within countries and in international organizations. Gender parity was about equal representation. Speakers outlined national steps taken to promote the participation of women in all their diversity at all levels of decision making at the global level, including for United Nations bodies. They emphasised their commitment to supporting gender parity at all levels. Speakers asked what measures were recommended to effectively ensure gender parity in the human rights mechanisms of the United Nations? How could the integration of a gender perspective be further integrated across the human rights architecture? How could men and boys be actors in work to combat gender stereotypes? How could Member States effectively collaborate to enhance gender parity? What were some of the key lessons learned or best practices that had contributed towards gender parity in the Human Rights Council and its mechanisms, and what else could be done to speed up progress? Concluding Remarks AUA BALDE, Chair of the Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances, said the progress that had been made in both Special Procedures and treaty body representation needed to be incorporated in a more systematic manner leading to structural changes, as a key issue leading to imbalance had not been addressed: when a position became available, in the requirements for the selection, the gender issue needed to be highlighted. By referring to this gender criteria in the nomination process, States would be forced to take it into consideration: it could not be left to chance. Beyond that, the international community needed to ask itself what was in the way to stop women from applying to these posts, and women needed to be encouraged to do so by the removal of obstacles, including locally. When a position became available, regional diversity should also be mainstreamed in all mandate holders. The crucial point was that the invisibility of women could not continue. Women had led the human rights movement from the beginning, and their expertise was seldom recognised. As the gender perspective was integrated, these challenges needed to be taken into account, and it should be remembered that it was women doing the work at the grassroots level. FRANS VILJOEN, Member of the Human Rights Council Advisory Committee, said he wished to highlight that these issues were often embedded in broader societal contexts, and this needed to be addressed. For many States, the impression was that there was a lack of a general, transparent system in the nomination process, irrespective of women’s inclusion. The first point was to encourage the adoption of public, transparent and accessible processes at the national level, and then to mainstream the gender perspective in terms of who would be put forward. The consistent and persistent patterns of patriarchy remained a major issue, being embedded in these societal forces, including in the treaty body system, and reversing stereotypes would aid in this. There must be a focus on the collaborative energies between men and women when addressing disparities. Gender should not only be understood as an axis of male-female, but should also take into account the non-binary aspect. Energy should be drawn from the positive trends such as the movement to push back against the restriction of reproductive rights. ALEJANDRA VICENTE, Legal Director of Redress and member of the GQUAL Campaign Secretariat, said States had asked for ways to accelerate gender representation in the work of the Council. The answers were largely provided in the targeted recommendations included in the Advisory Committee report. One concrete recommendation was for States to ensure that women were represented in the consultative group of the Council. The President of the Council could also apply gender guidelines when recommending candidates to be appointed for Special Procedures. The Council could produce periodic reports on progress and additional measures to be undertaken to ensure gender parity in the work of the Council. Gender parity in the treaty bodies required targeted action by States. Gqual had produced a country ranking to see how many people had been nominated to international positions and how many of those people were women. Countries that were developing a feminist foreign policy should ensure women could be elected to international positions on parity with men. Looking at the procedure adopted by Chile and Argentina, women were nominated and eventually elected to international positions. If other States had adopted those policies, they were encouraged to make them public, and those who had not were encouraged to adopt them. Gqual remained committed to ensure gender parity and policies and mechanisms. Interactive Dialogue on the Oral Update of the High Commissioner on the Situation of Human Rights in Belarus in the Run-Up to the 2020 Presidential Election and in its Aftermath The interactive dialogue on the oral update of the High Commissioner on the situation of human rights in Belarus in the run-up to the 2020 Presidential election and in its aftermath started in the previous meeting and a summary can be found here. Discussion In the discussion, a number of speakers expressed gratitude for the timely update of the High Commissioner on the situation of human rights in Belarus. The report vividly highlighted the heightened plight of human rights defenders in Belarus and those identified as opponents of the regime since the disputed 2020 election. All were at risk of arbitrary detention, torture and disappearance. Some speakers were concerned about peaceful activists, opposition leaders, journalists and bloggers being held in prisons only because they were not afraid to exercise their rights - the right to participate in peaceful assemblies, to express their opinion, and to be involved in political activities. There was severe repression in Belarus with over 40,000 arrests and 12,000 politically motivated prosecutions since 2020. Out of these, close to 100 civil society members were imprisoned on fabricated charges. One speaker said since 2020, over 100 lawyers had faced harassment and been forced to flee the country. On 27 July 2023, prominent lawyer Yuliya Yurgilevich and journalist Pavel Mazheika were sentenced to six years’ imprisonment on spurious charges, including against Yurgilevich for publicising her disbarment and disseminating information on political prisoners. Some speakers were concerned about the arbitrary detention of people held for political reasons, including Maria Kalesnikava and Viktar Babaryka, detained without access to the outside world, including lawyers. A speaker deplored the widespread and systematic human rights violations in Belarus, and condemned the escalating pattern of retaliation against lawyers. The recent 4 September presidential decree, restricting Belarus nationals in exile from accessing consular services, was unacceptable. It jeopardised the enjoyment of human rights for those exiled and their families, including the right to freedom of movement, work, health, education, and housing. The denunciation of the Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights by Belarus deprived victims of human rights violations from the opportunity to seek remedies via available United Nations mechanisms. Some speakers called on Belarus to immediately release all individuals arbitrarily detained for political reasons, and ensure that all detained persons had access to lawyers, doctors and their families. Belarus should cease further persecution, and immediately withdraw the presidential decree on consular services. Host States needed to provide all necessary assistance to protect the rights of exiled Belarus nationals and their families. Considering the thousands of innocent victims in Belarusian prisons, United Nations Member States were encouraged to establish a special tribunal for Belarus. --Concluding Remarks-- Nada Al-Nashif, United Nations Deputy High Commissioner for Human Rights, welcomed the statement of the delegate of Belarus on the need to build dialogue, and not fences, and she looked forward to this occurring. The Office stood ready to engage. On detainees, the Office had documented many cases of politically motivated convictions, with many detainees facing alarming restrictions of communication and on their movement, often held without official information on their whereabouts and well-being, putting them in danger of disappearance. Visits by lawyers were often limited or not allowed, and lawyers faced disbarment for taking on cases. Belarus should offer free and unrestricted access to all human rights monitors, and cooperate with the Office and other human rights mechanisms. It should also ratify the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture. There had been trials in absentia and arbitrary deprivations of citizenship. States must establish safeguards against statelessness. On restrictions imposed on civil society, Ms. Al-Nashif said that it was of great concern that the authorities criminalised human rights work, including by labelling it as extremism, at a time when such work was crucial for the victims of human rights violations. The Government should give effect to the relevant treaty obligations dealing with human rights defenders in order to ensure the full protection of the range of rights in this area. On supporting human rights defenders and civil society organizations in general, they had a critical role to play, and despite the risks they undertook in such a repressive environment, it was critical that they be able to continue to monitor human rights violations and analyse and collect trends. These principles of engagement must be upheld; these human rights defenders and civil society organizations did often require technical assistance or fund-raising support. The international community must support those in exile. On accountability, Member States could work towards this through national proceedings in line with international human rights standards and in the context of extraterritorial and extrajudicial legislation. In addition to possible prosecutions, the collection of data and preservation of evidence must continue, and Member States could consider further measures to be taken against those credibly accused of human rights violations. Interactive Dialogue with the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine Presentation ERIK MØSE, Chair of the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine, presenting an oral update, said in March, the Council considered the Commission’s comprehensive written report, and extended the Commission’s mandate for another year. Well into the second year of the armed conflict, people in Ukraine had been continuing to cope with the loss and injury of loved ones, large-scale destruction, suffering, trauma, and economic hardship. Thousands had been killed and injured and millions remained internally displaced or out of the country. There was continuing evidence of war crimes committed by the Russian armed forces in Ukraine. The Commission was now undertaking in-depth investigations regarding unlawful attacks with explosives, torture, sexual and gender-based violence, and attacks on energy infrastructure. This may clarify whether torture and attacks on such infrastructure amounted to crimes against humanity. Recently, the three commissioners had visited the country and held instructive discussions with the authorities in Kyiv. They had held discussions with victims of attacks. The Commission appreciated the cooperation of the Government, and appreciated the willingness of victims to share their experiences. It regretted that all communications addressed to the Russian Federation remained unanswered. The update reflected the Commission’s ongoing investigations, and was a continuation of previous reports. Attacks with explosive weapons in populated areas had led to extensive destruction and damage, and had been the leading cause of death and injuries to the civilian population. There had been attacks on residential buildings, a medical facility, a railway station, restaurants, shops and other facilities, leading to the disruption of essential services and supplies. In most cases, there appeared to be no military presence at the affected sites or in their vicinity. The Commission was investigating the cause of the breach of the dam at Nova Kakhovka. The Commission had collected further evidence indicating that the use of torture by Russian armed forces in areas under their control had been widespread and systematic: the principal victims were persons accused of being informants of the Ukrainian armed forces. The Commission had found that torture mostly took place in various detention centres controlled by Russian authorities. Similar methods of torture were used across different facilities during interrogation sessions, mainly aimed at extracting information from the victims. Rape and sexual violence had taken place. The armed conflict had had many devastating consequences for children. There were many incidents on children being transferred to the Russian Federation, and the Commission was of the view that insufficient knowledge about the precise number of children transferred could hamper an expeditious return process. The Commission was also concerned about the possibility of genocide and incitement to genocide, and was continuing its investigations. It was concerned about the scale and gravity of the crimes committed by the Russian Armed Forces and emphasised the need for accountability. It also called upon the Ukrainian forces to investigate the few allegations of human rights violations committed by their own forces. The Commission insisted on the need to ensure accountability, and for the international community to support such accountability measures. Statement by the Country Concerned Ukraine, speaking as a country concerned, said until today, accountability for Russia’s criminal legacy in Chechnya, Georgia, Ukraine and Syria was largely lacking, which had paved the way to its aggression against Ukraine. Ukraine was grateful to the United Nations Human Rights Council for its rapid response by setting up of the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine with a clear mandate to investigate all alleged violations and abuses of human rights and humanitarian law, in the context of the aggression against Ukraine by the Russian Federation. The work of the Commission and its findings were integral aspects of the accountability architecture. Ukraine commended the Commission for its efforts and expressed commitment to continue cooperation and dialogue. Ukraine continued to document, investigate, and prosecute over 100,000 incidents of war crimes, ranging from willful killing, summary execution, torture and ill-treatment, to indiscriminate shelling and unlawful confinement. More than 19,000 Ukrainian children had become the victims of forcible transfer and deportation planned and implemented by the top leadership of the Russian regime, a war crime and crimes against humanity that also could amount to the crime of genocide in line with the 1948 Genocide Convention. Meanwhile, thousands of Ukrainian prisoners of war were subjected to torture. The conduct of the Russian invasion and subsequent occupation had been accompanied by numerous violations on discriminatory grounds, which were also detailed in the Commission’s previous reports. Therefore, documenting and ensuring full accountability was paramount along with the reparation for the damage suffered by the millions of victims and survivors. The Commission’s dedication, efforts and contribution to the quest for justice and accountability remained indispensable. Discussion In the discussion, a number of speakers thanked the Commission of Inquiry for the update and the continuous work in investigating all alleged violations and abuses of international law stemming from the Russian aggression against Ukraine. The recently published conference room paper based on a detailed account of the evidence gathered showcased the brutality and the wide range of grave human rights and humanitarian law violations committed by the Russian armed forces. Speakers condemned the systematic and widespread use of torture, the wilful killings and summary executions, attacks on civilians, rape, unlawful confinement, and unlawful transfers, as documented by the Commission. Some speakers said for 19 months, Russian armed forces had continued to indiscriminately and deliberately kill, torture, commit acts of sexual and gender-based violence against Ukrainian civilians, and destroy vital infrastructure in clear violation of international humanitarian law. Russia was putting global food security and global peace and security at risk. The Commission had also found that in areas under temporary occupation, many of these violations amounted to war crimes, according to a growing body of evidence presented in the Commission’s report. A number of speakers said Ukrainian children had been transferred or deported to Russian-occupied areas or to the Russian Federation and separated from their families for a prolonged time. Instead of facilitating the reunion of families, the Russian authorities to the contrary dispersed them with the aim of facilitating long-term placement of Ukrainian children in the Russian Federation. This cruel policy was in complete disregard of children’s rights. The International Criminal Court’s decision to issue arrest warrants for Russia’s President Vladimir Putin and Children’s Rights Commissioner Maria Lvova-Belova was an important step towards accountability. It was vital to ensure the safe return of Ukrainian children and accountability of the perpetrators. Some speakers reiterated their resolute condemnation of Russia’s war of aggression, which violated international law and the United Nations Charter. The continued military support for Russia’s war of aggression provided by Iran and Belarus was also condemned. Speakers reiterated their unwavering support for Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognised borders. They agreed with the Commission that comprehensive accountability was paramount, including ensuring the right to truth. There must be no impunity for Russia’s violations of international law. Investigations needed to continue until full accountability and justice were ensured. In this regard, speakers strongly supported the work of this Commission of Inquiry. Speakers asked the Commission, after the last visit to Ukraine, how could efforts be strengthened to ensure justice for all victims, including comprehensive reparations programmes? Could the Commission elaborate on its views with respect to setting up a possible mechanism for finding and ensuring the safe return of those civilians, especially children, that remained in Russian captivity? How could the needs of persons in vulnerable situations be more effectively addressed?",1

She used a speech in the United States to advocate for the United Nations’ Refugee Convention to be overhauled as part of wider efforts to stop small boats crossing the Channel.

But, in a rebuke to the senior Conservative, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the organisation’s refugee agency, denied there was any need for reform.

Mrs Braverman said the current international framework governing refugee status, including the UN accord, was “contributing” to a system that was incentivising millions of asylum seekers to “try their luck”.

(PA Graphics)

Calling for the “definition of who qualifies for protection” under refugee rules to be “tightened”, she said the threshold for asylum had steadily been lowered since the signing of the UN pact, which is backed by 149 states, more than 70 years ago.

In comments criticised by equalities campaigners, she said offering asylum to a person because they are discriminated against in their home country for being gay or a woman was not sustainable.

The UN’s refugee agency, while recognising the “complex challenges” presented by irregular migration, said the convention remained “crucial” for protecting people facing persecution.

“The need is not for reform, or more restrictive interpretation, but for stronger and more consistent application of the convention and its underlying principle of responsibility-sharing,” the UNHCR said in a statement.

Labour’s shadow home secretary, Yvette Cooper, accused Mrs Braverman of “scapegoating” LGBT people during her Stateside speech to the American Enterprise Institute, a centre-right think tank.

The latest Home Office figures indicate that 2% of asylum claims made in the UK last year included sexual orientation as part of the basis for a claim.

Suella Braverman has so lost grip of Tory asylum chaos, she is targeting & scapegoating LGBT people. Deeply divisive, damaging political game playing – unworthy of her office. Instead of blaming people persecuted in places like Uganda for who they love, she shd sort chaos at home — Yvette Cooper (@YvetteCooperMP) September 26, 2023

The Home Secretary’s decision to rally against multilateral treaties comes against a backdrop of domestic struggles to control irregular migration.

She is tasked with helping to deliver the Prime Minister’s pledge of stopping the boats from crossing the Channel – one of five commitments that Rishi Sunak hopes to deliver ahead of a likely election next year.

Almost 24,000 migrants have arrived into the UK via small boats since January.

The official annual arrivals number, while down 26% from the same period in 2022, is likely to rise after people thought to be migrants were spotted being taken in to Dover, Kent, on Tuesday.

Mrs Braverman admitted that her called-for reforms to the UN’s 1951 refugee convention would be cumbersome due to the difficulty in getting all member states to agree.

Asked after her speech in Washington DC whether the UK would consider leaving the convention if reforms were not delivered, Mrs Braverman said the UK Government would do “whatever is required” to tackle the issue of migrants arriving via unauthorised routes.

She said: “The Prime Minister himself has said we will do whatever it takes to stop the boats and that is my position.”

During her address on Tuesday, which lasted more than half an hour, Mrs Braverman said that uncontrolled and irregular migration was “an existential challenge” for the West.

She said political systems that could not control their borders would “not maintain the consent of the people, and thus not long endure”.

She attacked the “misguided dogma” of multiculturalism, saying it had “failed”, with communities living “parallel lives”.

She said migration had been “too much, too quick” to the UK in the past 25 years, with “too little thought given to integration and the impact on social cohesion”.

In a warning to developed nations, Mrs Braverman said: “The global asylum framework is a promissory note that the West cannot fulfil.

“We have created a system of almost infinite supply, incentivising millions of people to try their luck, knowing full well that we have no capacity to meet more than a fraction of demand.”

Mrs Braverman used her US platform to defend the UK’s approach to tackling irregular migration.

The Refugee Convention is the cornerstone of the international refugee protection regime and remains a life-saving instrument. We urge the UK to join global efforts to find innovative and joined-up solutions, including through the upcoming #RefugeeForum. https://t.co/aCsb1sk1qT pic.twitter.com/nsmEe3qgh2 — UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency (@Refugees) September 26, 2023

The Illegal Migration Act, which has also faced criticism from the UNHCR, legislated for those arriving via the Channel to be deported to their country of origin, or to Rwanda, after ministers struck a £140 million deal with the east African country.

But the Kigali plan is tied up in the courts, with a deportation flight yet to take off.

The Home Secretary said the UK’s Rwanda policy should be “recognised as appropriate” and said it was “right” for countries to act bilaterally rather than wait for international reforms to be agreed.

Speaking about her own parents’ arrival in Britain – her father came from Kenya and her mother Mauritius – she said being a child of immigrants did not mean she had to adopt a “pro-migration” position.

She told a Q&A session after the speech: “It is no betrayal of my parents’ story to say that immigration must be controlled.”

She contrasted her parents migrating to the UK “lawfully” with those who “are coming here gaming the system”.

She added: “My job as Home Secretary is to be honest with the British people, to tell them that the system as it currently stands internationally is not working.

“We need to start working towards a solution that is sustainable and fair.”

Amnesty International UK accused Mrs Braverman, who ignored a question from a reporter as she was leaving the think tank venue about whether her speech had been designed to improve her chances as Tory leader, of “a display of cynicism and xenophobia”.",1

Rubbish that had been piling up on the streets of an east London borough will be collected after striking refuse workers agreed to a pay deal offered by the local council.

About 200 waste service workers and street cleaners had walked out on September 18 following a pay dispute between Unite the Union and Tower Hamlets Council.

On Tuesday, Tower Hamlets’ Unite members in the waste service voted to end the strike after the council offered them an extra £750 and said about 50 agency workers would be brought in-house by the end of December on full council terms and conditions.

Private waste contractors will be employed by the council for the next few weeks to catch up on missed collections and street cleaning.

The union members went on strike after rejecting a pay offer of £1,925, which officials said was a real-terms pay cut.

Executive mayor of Tower Hamlets Lutfur Rahman said: “We value our refuse staff and we have listened to their concerns to see how we can work constructively and collaboratively to resolve this dispute.

“Our members were determined to secure a fair pay deal so the intervention of the mayor of Tower Hamlets, Lutfur Rahman, played a part in helping to resolve this dispute.”",1

The bench of Justice Jyoti Singh allowed the application seeking suspension of their sentence. The court decided to suspend their sentence till the pendency of their appeal challenging the trial court judgment against them.

Earlier, the Court had granted interim bail taking into account that they were never arrested and remained on bail and said that “they be admitted to interim bail subject to conditions they shall not leave the country and make themselves available as and when available”.

Advocate Vijay Aggarwal appeared for the appellants in the matter. Earlier, The Special Coal Court of Delhi had sentenced four years imprisonment to Former Rajya Sabha MP Vijay Darda, his son Devender Darda, M/S JLD Yavatmal Energy Pvt Ltd’s Director Manoj Kumar Jayaswal for four years in a case relating to irregularities in the allocation of a coal block in Chhattisgarh.

The Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] scrambled to contain the political fallout of the arrest of party leader P.R. Aravindakshan by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the Karuvannur Cooperative Bank scam case.

CPI(M) State secretary M.V. Govindan termed Mr. Aravindakshan’s detention as a political vendetta.

He said the ED had arrested the councillor from his house for daring to lodge a custodial assault against agency officials and terming the money laundering charges against him false.

“The BJP and the Congress are using the ED to get to the CPI(M). They are also pursuing a plot to destroy Kerala’s cooperative sector,” Mr. Govindan said. The CPI(M) would resist the move politically and legally.

Mr. Aravindakshan’s arrest also seemed ominous for A. C. Moideen, MLA, another top CPI(M) leader under the ED scanner in connection with the bank scam.

The CPI(M) might seek legal recourse to insulate him and other potential targets of ED investigation from arrest, perhaps by moving an anticipatory bail petition in the High Court.

The CPI(M) has also signalled that it would not consent to ED notices in future tangles with the Central agency without exploring legal options.

Meanwhile, CPI(M) ‘s attempt to blame politics and fraught Centre-State relations for brushing off increasingly strident money laundering accusations revolving around party-controlled cooperative banks cut no ice with the Congress or the BJP.

Mainstream and social media worked overtime to crowd out the CPI(M)‘s defence that the ED probe was politically motivated.

Instead, they sought to replace the narrative by continuously airing stories of ordinary families left in the lurch by “corruption-ridden and bankrupt” cooperative banks hardpressed to redeem even small pledges.

The bank scam charges were not solely confined to the CPI(M) in the LDF. Its closest alliance partner, the Communist Party of India (CPI), was taking intense flak for corruption charges centred around the party-administered Kandala Cooperative Bank in Thiruvananthapuram. The emerging financial scam has blunted CPI’s traditional role as a corrective force in the LDF.

Its State executive, which met here on Tuesday, reportedly demanded the government to rescue cooperative-sector banks. Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan had assured depositors and cooperative society members that the government would guarantee the depositors’ money.",1

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday told the police to act tough against those spreading hate through social media posts and engaging in online character assassination by circulating fake news.

The incidence of spreading hatred using social media has been on the rise and this needs to be dealt with seriously as it disturbs peace in the society. The forces who are behind such acts need to be sternly tackled, the Chief Minister said while addressing the probationary police officers passing out from the Karnataka Police Academy (KPA) here.

Speaking after inspecting the passing out parade of the 37th batch of probationary Deputy Superintendents of Police and Deputy Superintendents of Excise at the KPA and presenting trophies to the best trainees, Mr. Siddaramaiah said the police, without coming under pressure from anybody whosoever powerful and influential they may be, have to act sternly against hate mongers for establishing peace in the society. Safeguarding law and order should be the paramount goal, he advised the probationary officers.

For police, social media is the newest challenge and this challenge has to be tussled since if the society is unhappy, the State or the country cannot progress as expected, said Mr. Siddaramaiah, while advising the police for keeping the society secure.

While asking the police to be tough against habitual offenders, Mr. Siddaramaiah said the lawbreakers may repeat their crimes if they are not punished for their wrongdoings.

Calling upon the police to be people-friendly, the CM said the police must stop the rich and the powerful troubling the poor and the beleaguered. “We have a diverse society. Don’t allow the powerful to harass the poor and provide justice to the poor or the needy from the wrongdoers.”

Stating that training that has been imparted in institutions like the KPA will help in serving the people better and in an impartial manner, he said the police work in difficult situations yet they should not lose their patience while handling tough situations. The police have to make efforts to win the trust of the people.

Like politicians, the police are also in public life. Serving humanity, addressing the problems of the community has to be the motto. The police can bring about change in the society and this change can help develop the State or the country, Mr. Siddaramaiah said in his address.

Minister for Home G. Parameshwara presided over the function.

Director-General of Police (Training) P. Ravindranath and Lokesh B. Jagalasar, Director, KPA, were present. The KPA director read out a report on the training of the 37th batch and the activities of the KPA.

Twenty probationary officers, including 17 Dy.SPs (Civil) and three Deputy Superintendents of Excise, passed out after a year-long training. They underwent training from May 4, 2022 to April 18, 2023. Out of 20, seven are women and 17 are men. Among those who passed out, a few of them had served in the Police Department while a few others were in service in departments such as RDPR. Those aged between 35 and 40 constitute most among the probationary officers and the average age of the 37th batch is 38.19.

Sneharaj N., who commanded the parade, was adjudged the overall best in the training as she bagged the trophies for best indoor trainee, best woman trainee and overall best trainee that comprised CM’s trophy, CM’s sword, DG and IGP baton. Dy.SPs Yeshwant Kumar, Hemanth Sharan and Ravikumar K.Y. also bagged the trophies.

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) State president K. Surendran warned the government against dipping into the State exchequer to rescue bankrupt cooperative sector banks.

He said the Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] had run the banks to ruin by turning them into vehicles for corruption, nepotism, and money laundering.

He said Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan had guaranteed lakhs of depositors their money with an eye on the State exchequer. The BJP would resist the move.

Instead, Mr. Surendran asked the CPI(M) to reach into its deep coffers to recompense ordinary families it had robbed. The government had no right to bleed the exchequer to save corruption-ridden and bankrupt party-controlled cooperatives, he said.

He said the LDF had drawn on the treasury to pay the ₹400-crore penalty slapped on CPI(M)-controlled Rubco for corruption.

It accorded ₹700 crore from taxpayers’ money to cover up the ₹700-crore corruption in the Pariyaram Cooperative Medical College Hospital.

He said CPI(M)-controlled cooperative banks were conduits for money laundering post-demonetisation. “Even LDF ministers profited from the fraud,” Mr. Surendran alleged.

He termed the Crime Branch enquiry into the Karuvannoor bank scam a cover-up job to save CPI(M) leaders. The agency scapegoated bank officials to keep CPI(M) leaders from legal jeopardy. The Crime Branch probe did not even graze the iceberg’s tip.

He said the government had an 82% stake in the Uralunkal Labour Cooperative Society. Nevertheless, the CPI(M) had stonewalled the Accountant General’s attempts to audit the quasi-government institution.

The government channelled at least ₹10,000 crore in public work contracts to the CPI(M)-controlled society by circumventing the competitive bidding process. The CPI(M) used the society as an avenue for corruption.

Mumbai: The National Human Rights Commission, NHRC, India has taken suo motu cognizance of a media report that a 30-year-old woman belonging to Scheduled Caste, was brutally assaulted, stripped and urinated upon in Mosimpur village of Patna on 23rd September, 2023.

Reportedly, she was subjected to torture and inhuman treatment after purportedly failing to repay additional interest on a loan, amounting to ₹1,500/- which she had borrowed from a local strongman.

Violation of human rights for Dalit woman

The Commission has observed that the contents of the media report, if true, amount to a violation of the human rights of the victim woman. The reported incident is indicative of the free will with which perpetrators acted without fear of the law, which is a matter of concern. Accordingly, it has issued notices to the Chief Secretary and the Director General of Police, Bihar calling for a detailed report in the matter within four weeks.

Detailed to include FIR status and victim's mental health

The report should also include the status of the FIR, the physical as well as mental health status of the victim woman and compensation if any, granted to her. The victim, reported to be belonging to the Scheduled Caste community is also eligible for the compensation as per provision of Rules framed under the SC/ST (PoA) Act. The authorities are expected to explain in the report the status of the installment of the compensation given to the victim. The victim has passed through a trauma hence, it is also expected from the State Government to intimate whether any counselling has been provided to her.

According to the media report, carried on 25th September, 2023, the accused had approached the victim four days before the incident, coercing her to repay an additional amount as interest and the victim had reported the matter to the police. The accused, reportedly, belong to a dominant caste, while there are only a few Scheduled Caste families residing in the village, who have stated that they are in fear and are thinking of leaving the place for some days.

Burhanpur (Madhya Pradesh): A special court under the POCSO Act sentenced Vakil alias Anil Salusingh, 25, a resident of Davalikhurd village, to 20 years of rigorous imprisonment for keeping a minor girl hostage and misusing her sexually for over two months. The case was investigated by the Nepanagar police, district prosecution officer Ramlal Randhave said.

According to Randhave, the accused was found guilty under Section 366 of the IPC and Section 5/6 of the POCSO Act 2012.

Randhave said that the victim along with her family members came to Nepanagar police station on October 29, 2021 and lodged a complaint. In the complaint, the victim’s father said that when she went to buy some grocery items at 7 pm, she did not return long. Failing to get her whereabouts, they started her search in the area.

Later, they came to know that some unidentified person might have abducted her. Nearly two-and-a-half months later, police recovered her on January 13, 2022. During questioning, she informed the police about the accused, Vakil alias Anil, and said that she had known him for the last four to five months and was involved in love.

On October 28, 2021, the accused called the victim to Hanuman Temple and told her to come along with him and get married, so she went with the accused. Then the accused took her to Bargaon in Maharashtra. Since the victim is underage, the duo could not get married. Later, they started living in a hut.

The victim in her statement said that he took her with the promise of marriage and did wrong things with her without her consent. After an investigation, the chargesheet was presented to the court. The accused was sentenced on Tuesday.

Continue reading... As the dramatic images emerge of thousands of Karabakh Armenians forced away from their homes in a mass exodus, some in the west are beginning to rethink their relationship with Azerbaijan.

Through a mixture of skilled diplomacy and lobbying, the resource-rich country has for years promoted itself in the UK and EU as a reliable security partner and vital transport hub.

But by launching a military offensive in Nagorno-Karabakh and triggering a humanitarian catastrophe as refugees pour out of the region, the Azerbaijanpresident, Ilham Aliyev, has drawn the ire of the EU and the US.

“The crisis and human suffering could and should have been prevented,” said a senior western diplomat in Baku, speaking on condition of anonymity. “It will be trickier for us to continue as usual with Azerbaijan.”

At the UN last week, the German foreign minister, Annalena Baerbock, accused Baku of “breaking its repeated assurances to refrain from the use of force, causing tremendous suffering to a population already in dire straits”. The French president, Emmanuel Macron, said Azerbaijani authorities were “uninhibited”.

“Many in Brussels and Washington feel shocked and betrayed by Azerbaijan’s use of force,” said Thomas de Waal, senior fellow at the Carnegie Europe thinktank. He said that western officials believe the inaction of the 2,000 Russian peacekeepers deployed to the region suggests that a side deal was reached between Moscow and Baku, who both blamed the Armenian prime minister, Nikol Pashinyan, and his pro-western pivot for the fighting.

“The west has been marginalised, despite long efforts to solve the conflict,” De Waal said. “For a long time, Azerbaijan was very skilled at projecting its value to the west. But there seems to be a revaluation going on about just how important and trustworthy Baku really is.”

Baku for years has been said to employ so-called “caviar diplomacy”: using cash and gifts to buy influence in Europe. The Guardian previously revealed how Azerbaijan funnelled about $2.9bn (£2.2bn) out of the country via a network of secret British companies to pay supporters, lobbyists and politicians in Europe, buy luxury goods and services, and launder money for the Azerbaijani elite.

Prior to the latest fighting in Karabakh, Europe appeared to be moving closer to Baku, despite the country’s poor human rights record and credible evidence that it committed atrocities in the 2020 Karabakh war.

The European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, travelled to Baku in 2022 as the EU looked to reduce its reliance on Russian energy, hailing Azerbaijan as a “crucial” and “reliable” energy supplier. She announced an agreement to double the EU’s purchases of Azerbaijani gas by 2027, but made no mention of the country’s human rights situation or its relationship with Armenia.

Since the military operation last week, Azerbaijan has continued to promote its narratives among western stakeholders. Baku-based thinktank the Center of Analysis of International Relations hosted a roundtable discussion in Mayfair, London, on Azerbaijan’s role as a “crucial land bridge that can connect Europe to Central Asia” and “energy security in Europe”.

But some observers say Europe’s reliance on Azerbaijani energy is heavily exaggerated by Baku. “Azerbaijan massively overstates their influence on gas, which is lazily picked up among European policymakers,” said Max Hess, a fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute.

“The idea that Azerbaijan plays a key role in Europe’s energy security has been another excuse put forward by western powers to not intervene,” Hess added.

Gas supply from Azerbaijan accounted for 3% of the EU’s total imports in 2022, while Moscow still supplies up to 15% of the continent’s gas demand. “The EU gas deal is very unlikely to deliver the promised high volumes of gas – a declining asset in the green transition anyway,” said de Waal.

Some officials in the west have mulled sanctions against Azerbaijan in the aftermath of its Nagorno-Karabakh operation.

David McAllister, the chair of the European parliament’s foreign affairs committee, said the EU should impose serious consequences if there were attempts to remove Karabakh Armenians from their homes.

During a visit to Goris, an Armenian border town, the head of the US Agency for International Development, Samantha Power, also hinted at possible sanctions, saying that “there are a range of options under consideration” when asked what the consequences may be for Azerbaijan.

Hess said it was vital for the international community to step in to prevent further conflict and displacement in the region. “It should urgently stop hiding behind myths about energy security and belatedly make a commitment to do whatever is necessary to prevent further conflict,” he said.",1

The U.K.`s Financial Conduct Authority also said Tuesday it had reached a settlement with Rio Tinto under which the company would pay a fine of £27 million ($35.6 million) to settle claims that it breached accounting rules in connection with the Mozambique assets. In a lawsuit filed in U.S. federal court in Manhattan, the SEC said Rio Tinto, former Chief Executive Officer Thomas Albanese, and former Chief Financial Officer Guy Elliott failed to follow accounting standards and company policies to accurately value and record the assets. The lawsuit centers on Rio Tinto`s 2011 acquisition of Mozambique coal explorer Riversdale Mining for $3.7 billion. The SEC said that soon after the deal was completed, Rio Tinto learned that the acquisition would yield less coal, and of a lower quantity, than expected. The securities regulator said Rio Tinto concealed the problems with the deal, in part because Rio Tinto had already disclosed huge losses in connection with its 2007 acquisition of Alcan. Making public a second failure ""would call into question Albanese’s and Elliott’s ability to pursue the core of Rio Tinto’s business model,"" the SEC said in its complaint. By making misleading public statements, Rio Tinto and the executives were able to raise $5.5 billion from U.S. investors, the SEC said. They continued to solicit the investments even after executives of the Mozambique subsidiary told Albanese and Elliott that the unit was likely worth negative $680 million, according to the SEC. The SEC said the fraud continued until January 2013, when another executive discovered accounting irregularities. Albanese subsequently resigned, and the Mozambique subsidiary was sold for just $50 million, the SEC said. ""There is no truth in any of these charges,"" Albanese said in a statement. Christina Mills, a spokeswoman for Elliott, said Elliott would vigorously contest the charges. Rio Tinto said it would defend itself vigorously against the SEC`s allegations. The company said the U.K. FCA had ""made no findings of fraud, or of any systemic or widespread failure by Rio Tinto."" It also disclosed that the Australian Securities and Investments Commission was looking into its accounting of the Mozambique assets.(£1 = $1.3185) (This article has not been edited by Zeebiz editorial team and is auto-generated from an agency feed.)",1

A spokesperson for Shell Pakistan said in a statement, “To support its intention to high-grade and simplify its portfolio, Shell Petroleum Company Ltd ... has initiated a sales process to sell its 77.42 per cent shareholding in Shell Pakistan Ltd.” That includes ""all of SPL’s Downstream businesses and SPL’s 26 per cent ownership of Pak-Arab Pipeline Company Ltd (PAPCO),"" the spokesperson added. SPL to continue to list on Pakistan Stock Exchange SPL, which is listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange, clarified that the operations of the company will continue, and Shell’s exit will not have any impact on the company’s listing. Watch: Pakistan releases new budget amid severe economic crisis In a notice sent to the exchange, SPL wrote that Shell informed its board of directors about its intentions of selling the holdings in a meeting on June 14. ""Shell has entered into a process and wants to be transparent,"" the spokesperson said. Shell’s move triggers political row in Pakistan After Shell's announcement to withdraw from Pakistan, Farrukh Habib, the former Minister of State for Information and president of PTI West Punjab, criticised the government led by Shehbaz Sharif, labelling it as a 'fascist regime'. Habib wrote in his tweet, “Multinationals are on way out from Pakistan, now Shell has decided to sell its shareholding from Pakistan. The reasons include a highly uncertain political environment, regulated markets, capital controls, import restrictions, policy inconsistency, and higher taxes. Big multinational companies like Shell divestment, who have catered to Pakistan for more than 50 years will give a very bad signal and completely no confidence in Shehbaz Sharif Fascist regime.” The news of Shell's departure also elicited disappointment from Pakistani internet users. One Twitter user expressed that this development is only the beginning of a much larger problem. The user's comment came in response to a tweet by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf regarding Shell's exit. Many individuals blamed the Pakistan Army, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, and Finance Minister Ishaq Dar for the poor economic conditions that ultimately led to Shell's departure from the country after a presence of 75 years.

The couple booked a 1,053 sqft flat in a residential project of VP Spaces Private Limited in Sector 56 of Bhiwadi in Rajasthan for Rs 34.6 lakh in 2016. The flat was supposed to be delivered by October 2019.The couple took a home loan from a bank, which was supposed to release the funds to the developer in keeping with the construction-linked plan. “The builder and the bank, in connivance with each other, released the loan amount even when there was no construction at the site, forcing the couple to pay the EMI,” Razia Ahmad, the counsel for the couple, said.They approached the forum in November 2022 over a demand notice of Rs 8.4 lakh in October 2019 that the developer issued.The commission observed that despite repeated notices, the developer and the bank failed to appear before it to present their side. Sanjeev Jindal, president of the district consumer forum in Gurgaon, in his order dated July 12, observed that the opposite parties did not produce any evidence against the charges levelled against them and the evidence produced by the complainant goes “unrebutted”.“It goes undisputed that the developer had not completed the construction of the apartment unit in question in utter violation of the terms and conditions, especially in violation of the terms which says the apartment was to be delivered in 42 months,” it observed.“…The complainants were well within their rights to stop the payment of the further instalments and to seek a refund of their deposited amount. No allottee (homebuyer) could be compelled to keep on making the payment of instalments without the completion of the construction at the site,” the forum said.The forum directed the developer to refund Rs 28 lakh deposited by the complainant along with an interest of 9% per annum.In addition, the complainant will be paid Rs 2 lakh for harassment and Rs 55,000 as litigation expenses, it ruled. The developer was directed to complete the refund and payment of compensation within 45 days from the order or pay interest at an escalated 12%.",1

Loblaw Companies Ltd,"The ordinary concerns people encounter grocery shopping do not usually concern personal safety, but in this Thunder Bay Superior Court case, Justice Fitzpatrick had to consider the liability involved where an elderly shopping patron, Mr. Saisho, was struck by another patron, Mr. Beardy, who was pushing an overstuffed cart towards the exit of the store. Mr. Saisho was knocked to the floor, resulting in spastic quadriplegia. Sadly, Mr. Saisho would go on to stay in hospital permanently for over two years, until his death. The liability dispute was whether the store breached it’s statutory duty of care under section 3 of the Occupier’s Liability Act. The central issues were: Did the store breach its duty of care either by the actions of its employees, or the lack of action by its employees? Did the Cashier in Lane 1 see that Mr. Beardy had overloaded his cart? Did the Cashier in Lane 1 have a duty to tell Mr. Beardy to take down his load or stop him from moving until he did take down his load? Was it reasonably foreseeable that a patron would overload a cart and then push it so as to collide with another patron such that the store had a duty to post notices referring to the dangers of overloaded carts or to have specific policies regarding measures to prevent patrons from moving around the store with overloaded carts? Did the store breach a duty of care to Mr. Saisho in the manner it carried out the investigation of the accident? Was the actual collision caused by Mr. Beardy’s inattention to where he was going or his inability to see where he was going and proceeding in any event? Of the many witnesses called, none saw the actual incident. Ms. Tait, the cashier who checked out Mr. Saisho, indicated that he was a patron, he was checked out, and he proceeded to leave the store. The cashier who checked out Mr. Beardy did not testify, as she had since been fired. Ms. Tait described Mr. Beardy’s cart as “way overloaded”. At a glance, she observed it move away from the lane and towards the exit. She saw the cashier handling Mr. Beardy’s purchase, and spoke with her, but could not recall any further details. She did not try to speak to Mr. Beardy. She indicated that twice per week, she saw customers moving around the store with overloaded carts. She knew, as common sense, she should stop the customer and ask them to reduce their load. If the customer did not comply with this warning, she would contact a supervisor to handle the situation. She testified that cashiers take no part in bagging and loading carts once a customer has paid. It was reasonable that a cashier would not have an opportunity to observe how a customer loaded the cart once the customer paid. Mr. Beardy did not dispute Ms. Tait’s evidence, and indicated that he had filled his cart with his own as well as his friend’s purchases. He admitted that he could not see over the top of the load. He was rushing to leave, and could not speculate what the cashier could see with respect to his cart. She did not assist him with loading his cart. He testified that no one approached him about the height of his loaded cart. The collision took place shortly after he started moving the cart. Justice Fitzpatrick found that Mr. Beardy was negligent to move the cart forward when he couldn’t see where he was going. The store called several witnesses, consisting of employees of various levels. One employee, responsible for the cashiers, indicated that there was a policy posted in the staff room: Westfair Foods Ltd. offers a clean, safe and well groomed shopping environment for its customers. At the same time, Westfair Foods Ltd. and its employees have a legal obligation to be on guard for the safety of our patrons and employees… I understand that as an employee of Westfair I have a responsibility to abide by the company policy with respect to Safety, Environment and Waste Management, therefore, I must comply with the following guidelines: 1. Report any unsafe acts or conditions and correct unsafe conditions when working while encouraging co-workers to do the same. … 3. If I see or hear anything that may cause a potential hazard for our patrons, I will immediately try to alleviate the problem by: Advising my supervisor or manager of the problem as soon as it is reasonably possible. Warning Patrons of the hazard by immediately securing the area to indicate a hazard. Removing or cleaning up the hazard. The assistant manager was also aware of the policy, and indicated that the issue of an overloaded cart was a “common sense” matter. The store “host” that was working at the time near the incident location was responsible for checking receipts against purchases at the exit. She testified that she saw, after the incident, that the cart was overloaded. She advised that she saw overloaded carts 10 times per year, and advised customers to reduce their loads. All employees noted that there was no express policy directing cashiers to ensure that carts were loaded safely once customers had paid for their purchases. Also, there was no signage in the store directing customers not to overload their carts. Justice Fitzpatrick considered section 3 of the Occupier’s Liability Act, which imposes a duty on the occupier of a premises to take such care as that is reasonable in all the circumstances to see that persons entering on the premises are reasonably safe while present. He was also referred by both counsel to Waldick v. Malcolm, 1991 CanLII 71 (SCC), [1991] 2 S.C.R. 456. In that case, the Supreme Court of Canada held that when applying the statutory duty, occupiers are to take such reasonable care in the circumstances so as to make the premises safe (at para. 33): After all, the statutory duty on occupiers is framed quite generally, as indeed it must be. That duty is to take reasonable care in the circumstances to make the premises safe. That duty does not change but the factors which are relevant to an assessment of what constitutes reasonable care will necessarily be very specific to each fact situation – thus the proviso “such care as in all circumstances of the case is reasonable”. Justice Fitzpatrick also agreed with the decision of Kozak J. in another Thunder Bay case, Garafolo v. Canada Safeway Ltd., 66 O.T.C. 241 (Gen. Div.) (QL), where at para. 31, he stated: The positive or affirmative duty that is imposed upon the defendant does not extend to the removal of every possible danger. It does not require the defendant to maintain a constant surveillance or lookout for potential danger. The defendant meets its duty to take reasonable care if it takes measures that are reasonable in the circumstances. In his analysis, Justice Fitzpatrick indicated that it was reasonably foreseeable that a customer could potentially overload their cart while on the premises. He found that employees were clearly aware of the danger through directions given to them, and through the general health and safety policies of the store, which reinforced for employees the necessity to “do something if they saw something”. Justice Fitzpatrick stated that the issue was whether or not any of the employees actually “saw something” when Mr. Beardy started moving his overloaded cart. The cashier who checked out Mr. Beardy was no longer employed by the store, and Justice Fitzpatrick was not prepared to make an adverse finding against the defendant for not calling her as a witness. Based on the evidence provided by Mr. Beardy and his friend, Justice Fitzpatrick found that the cashier could not have seen the overloaded cart as she moved onto a new customer after it was already overloaded. It was not reasonable for that cashier to expect that the cart would be overloaded after she had moved onto the new customer behind them. Justice Fitzpatrick indicated that it would not be reasonable to make the store liable for the decision of Mr. Beardy to rush out of the store. Ms. Tait was not found responsible to tend to Mr. Beardy’s overloaded cart as she was dealing with customers in her own lane. Further, the store’s policies and procedures were found to be reasonable in the circumstances. The policies did not have to take into account all possible situations of danger that could occur on the premises. The judge disagreed with the Plaintiff that it was necessary to address overloaded carts specifically in written store policies. Justice Fitzpatrick found that on a balance of probabilities, the actions of the store defendant and its employees were not in breach of the duty of care owed to Mr. Saisho. None of the store employees was in a position to prevent the collision from happening. He therefore found Mr. Beardy 100% fault for the damages caused to Mr. Saisho. What is interesting is that there were no efforts to find the cashier that checked out Mr. Beardy, nor was a written statement obtained from her, even though the evidence of this cashier could have significantly changed Justice Fitzpatrick’s findings of fact. Further, there was little burden placed on the store “host” that was at closest proximity to the collision, where her role was specifically to examine shopping carts and receipts. Moral of the story? Pay attention to your overloaded cart, as the result could be tragic!",1

Corporal punishment is prohibited in all settings, including the home. Note: Aruba is a country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Current legality of corporal punishment Home Corporal punishment is prohibited in the home. The Aruba Civil Code 2001 (in force 2002, amended 2016) states that parents and others with parental authority have “the duty and right to care for and educate the minor child” and that this includes “responsibility for the emotional and physical wellbeing and safety of the child and promoting the development of his/her personality” (art. 1:247, unofficial translation). The 2016 Law amending the Civil Code modified the article to include: “In the care and upbringing of the child, there is no neglect and the parents do not apply mental or physical violence or any other degrading treatment” (unofficial translation). The new provisions mirror those in the Civil Code in the Netherlands (Europe), where prohibition in all settings was achieved in 2007. Previously, the Government had stated that the Aruban Criminal Code 1991 (amended 2006) prohibits corporal punishment in all settings in articles 313-318.[1] But these articles punish abuse and mistreatment, with increased penalties if the victim is the perpetrator’s child: they did not explicitly prohibit all corporal punishment in the home or any other setting. In May 2012, the Joint Court of Justice of Aruba, Curaçao and St Maarten, in a case in which a crèche employee had been summarily dismissed after striking a child with the permission of the mother, ruled that hitting children will not be tolerated, and that anyone who does so will be punished.[2] Alternative care settings Corporal punishment is prohibited in alternative care settings under the 2016 amendments to the Civil Code (see under “Home”). Day care Corporal punishment is prohibited in early childhood care and in day care for older children under the 2016 amendments to the Civil Code (see under “Home”). In 2008, the Government was reportedly introducing legislation on quality standards for childcare centres[3] but we have no further information. The Kindergarten Ordinance is silent on the issue. Schools Corporal punishment is unlawful under the 2016 amendments to the Civil Code (see under “Home”). Previously, the Government had repeatedly stated that corporal punishment is prohibited by law in schools.[4] Most recently, the Minister of the Interior and Kingdom Relations, Dr Plasterk, confirmed this.[5] There is no explicit prohibition in the Primary Education Ordinance, the Secondary Education Ordinance or the National Ordinance on Compulsory Education 2011. Penal institutions Corporal punishment is unlawful as a disciplinary measure in penal institutions, but we have no details of prohibiting legislation other than the Civil Code provision (see under “Home”). Explicit prohibition is possibly also included in the National Custodial Institutions Ordinance.[6] Sentence for crime Corporal punishment is unlawful as a sentence for crime. It is not a permitted sanction for crime under the Criminal Code 1991 or the Code of Criminal Procedure (in force 1997).

No recommendation was made concerning corporal punishment of children. Examination in the second cycle of the UPR took place in 2012 (session 13). The following recommendations were made:[1] “Prohibit corporal punishment in all settings through the Kingdom of the Netherlands (Slovenia); “Build on this success (achieving a total prohibition of corporal punishment of children in all settings in the European part of the Dutch territory) and ensure that this prohibition is also duly implemented in Aruba and the Netherland Antilles by enacting the necessary legislation in this regard (Hungary)” The Government responded to the recommendations by stating: “Violence in parenting has been formally prohibited in the Netherlands for several years. In Aruba corporal punishment is prohibited by law in schools, and legislation to extend the prohibition to the family setting is expected in 2012. In Curaçao, the Civil Code was amended to define parents’ role as that of caregivers and educators, prohibiting them from employing emotional or physical violence or any other form of humiliating treatment in parenting their children. The same goes for Sint Maarten since passing of the National Ordinance on Parental Authority in 2011 amending the Civil Code.”[2] The Netherlands’ third cycle examination took place in 2017 (session 27). The following recommendations were made:[3] “Ensure that its legislation addresses all forms of violence, explicitly prohibits corporal punishment in all settings and includes measures to raise awareness of positive, non-violent and participatory forms of child-rearing throughout the Kingdom, in particular in Aruba as well as in the Caribbean Netherlands (Liechtenstein)” “Intensify its efforts in relation to children’s rights including particularly the Caribbean countries forming part of the State, including to prohibit corporal punishment in all settings; to develop and implement public awareness programmes; to reduce the rate of school drop-out and intensify efforts to eradicate child labour; to raise the minimum age of recruitment in the military to 18 years and to ratify the Optional protocol to the CRC on a communications procedure without reservations (Ireland)” The Government accepted both recommendations, stating in regards to the first one: “Violence has already been made punishable by law in the Penal Code of Bonaire, St Eustatius, and Saba. In addition, the punishment can be increased by one-third if the offender committed the criminal offence against his or her child (among other parties). Corporal punishment in schools is prohibited by Aruban law. The New Civil Code includes a prohibition of corporal punishment in the family setting. In Curaçao, legislation addressing corporal punishment already exists.”[4] [1] 9 July 2012, A/HRC/21/15, Report of the working group, paras. 98(18) and 98(75) [2] 12 October 2012, A/HRC/21/15/Add.1/Rev.1, Report of the working group: Addendum, page 3 [3] 18 May 2017, A/HRC/WG.6/27/L.13, Draft report of the Working Group, paras. 5(117) and 5(154) [4] 14 September 2017, A/HRC/36/15/Add.1, Report of the working group: Addendum, page 6 Recommendations by human rights treaty bodies Note: It appears the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities all apply in Aruba, as they do in the Netherlands.

It also recommends that the State party conduct awareness-raising campaigns and parenting education programmes to ensure that alternative forms of discipline are used, in a manner consistent with the child’s human dignity and in conformity with the Convention, especially article 28, paragraph 2, while taking due account of general comment No. 8 (2006) on the right of the child to protection from corporal punishment and other cruel or degrading forms of punishment.” Committee on the Rights of the Child (26 February 2004, CRC/C/15/Add.227, Concluding observations on initial report of Aruba and second report of Netherlands, paras. 43 and 44) “… The Committee is also concerned that there is no legal prohibition on corporal punishment in the family. “The Committee recommends that the State party: d) explicitly prohibit corporal punishment in law throughout the State party and carry out public education campaigns about the negative consequences of ill-treatment of children, and promote positive, non-violent forms of discipline as an alternative to corporal punishment.” Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (9 December 2010, E/C.12/NDL/CO/4-5, Concluding observations on fourth/fifth report, para. 22) “The Committee regrets that corporal punishment is not prohibited in Aruba (arts. 10 and 13).

Photo: inlightpress. Mohammed Dahlan, the powerful arch-rival to Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas, was sentenced in absentia to three years of prison by a court in Ramallah on Wednesday. Dahlan has always maintained his innocence, claiming he is the victim of political persecution. His Parisian lawyer, Sevag Torossian, previously told BIRN that the corruption allegations against his client amounted to “accounting issues”, but he did not respond to our request for comment on his sentence. Yesterday he told AFP that the conviction was a “cleansing exercise” for Abbas. Salameh Halaseh, another lawyer working for the Palestinian politician, told the agency he had been informed of the hearing on Tuesday, the day Dahlan’s case reopened after more than a year’s break. Dahlan, who has held Montenegrin citizenship since 2010 and Serbian citizenship since 2013, was accused of embezzling $18 million of public money in 2007 from the Palestinian Authority, PA. According to the indictment, the money was placed in private accounts controlled by Dahlan who was the security chief of the PA at that time, before the cash was withdrawn by his associates. The prosecution said Dahlan offered no evidence of where the money went or was spent. The case was dropped in April 2015 after a court ruled that a presidential decision to lift Dahlan’s immunity should have been taken by the Palestinian parliament. The constitutional court in Ramallah over-ruled this last month. It said Abbas was entitled to remove the MP’s protection on his own authority as the Palestinian assembly was not in session. As an adviser to Prince Muhammad Bin Zayed, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, Dahlan played a critical role in building political and economic ties between the Gulf state and Serbia and Montenegro. The 55-year-old was once seen as Yasser Arafat’s heir apparent but lost out to Abbas in 2003. He was kicked out of the ruling Fatah movement in 2011 after Abbas accused him of corruption and hinted he may have been involved in Arafat’s death, a claim that resurfaced in recent weeks in a report by a Palestinian special commission. Living in exile in Abu Dhabi since then, while also renting a villa in Belgrade, he has formed a powerful network of backers spanning Europe and the Middle East and built support for himself in Gaza and the West Bank by channelling Gulf funds to Palestinian refugee camps. While Dahlan maintains that he is not interested in succeeding Abbas, he remains a frontrunner for the job and has made no secret of his desire to return to politics in his homeland.",1

Like many UPSC aspirants, the 24-year-old enrolled himself in an educational coaching institute in Mukherjee Nagar. On June 15, the north Delhi locality reported a fire in the ground floor of a building which houses several coaching centres. Mr. Kumar was among nearly 250 students who had a narrow escape, after dense smoke engulfed the third floor where many institutes conduct classes. As many as 61 students sustained injuries while trying to flee the building, which neither had a fire safety clearance from the authorities nor the necessary fire-fighting equipment. Students of Sanskriti IAS said they were forced to smash open the small windows and climb down using ropes. The water tank on the roof was empty and fire hydrants in the building were not working, they added. A day later, students from various coaching centres protested outside the building, which was sealed off by the police, and demanded that the institutes be reopened. Many students noted that cramped classrooms, single entry/exit and inadequate safety measures are prevalent issues in Mukherjee Nagar, the city’s hub of coaching centres, and not limited to one building. ‘Won’t go back’ Disturbed by the incident, Mr. Kumar, a student of Sanskriti IAS, said he plans to return home and switch to online classes. “I was lucky to escape without major injuries, but it could have been worse. Who knows if a similar incident won’t happen again? I don’t want to compromise on my dream, but I fear for my safety. I will also try to get a refund as I had enrolled only last week.” Many like him are apprehensive of their safety, adding that they may either take some time off or look for other coaching centres. Amit Gupta, 21, plans to switch institutes. “With no other escape route, I had managed to squeeze through a narrow window, scraping my arms and legs. I will never forget the fumes; I could not sleep at night for some time,” he said. ‘Will continue’ However, there are others who plan to immediately get back to their exam preparations and want their institutes reopened. A female aspirant, whose friend got seriously injured while escaping the building, left for her home in Noida a day after the fire. Requesting anonymity, she said, “Once the situation is normal in Mukherjee Nagar, I plan to continue from where I left off. I will never forget the sight of my friend falling and injuring her head. But I hope the [institute] owners learn their lesson and take the necessary action.” A student from a previous batch at Sanskriti IAS said the institute often takes in more students than it can fit in its classroom. “The students at last week’s incident were of a new batch, so I hardly know anyone. It included some who had come to attend a demonstration class.” Another UPSC aspirant, Ravi Mishra, said, “I hope this incident acts as a catalyst and other institutes take action. We come here to prepare for exams, not to be victims of negligence. Even reputed institutes like ours have blatant disregard for safety measures.”",1

Shakira is already due to be tried in Barcelona on November 20 in a separate case that hinges on where she lived between 2012-14. In that case, prosecutors allege she failed to pay 14.5 million euros (£12.6 million) in tax.

Prosecutors in Barcelona have alleged the Grammy winner spent more than half of the 2012-14 period in Spain and, therefore, should have paid taxes in the country, even though her official residence was in the Bahamas.

Spanish tax officials opened the latest case against Shakira last July. After reviewing the evidence gathered over the last two months, prosecutors have decided to bring charges. No date for a trial was set.

The public relations firm that previously has handled Shakira’s affairs, Llorente y Cuenca, made no immediate comment.

Last July, it said the artist had “always acted in concordance with the law and on the advice of her financial advisers”.

Shakira, whose full name is Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll, has been linked with Spain since she started dating the now-retired soccer player Gerard Pique. The couple, who have two children, lived together in Barcelona until last year, when they ended their 11-year relationship.

Spain’s tax authorities have over the past decade cracked down on football stars such as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo for not paying their full due in taxes.

Those players were found guilty of tax evasion but avoided prison time thanks to a provision that allows a judge to waive sentences under two years in length for first-time offenders.",1

Home Secretary Suella Braverman is set to take aim at international refugee rules. Here’s all you need to know. Home Secretary Suella Braverman is set to take aim at the United Nations Refugee Convention, using a trip to the US to suggest that the international refugee rules are in need of reform.

Here’s all you need to know about those rules.

– What is the UN Refugee Convention?

It is a key part of the international legal architecture defining who can benefit from refugee status and what rights and protection that status gives individuals. Drafted in the late-1940s and early-1950s, it is a product of the post-war European landscape and the early Cold War period.

In the years since, it has become a foundational document in international law.

No court oversees states’ duties under the UN Refugee Convention, making it very different from the European Convention on Human Rights or EU law. That means that British judges – along with judges in other states – play a key role in interpreting the convention in line with the UK’s international obligations.

– How does it define a refugee?

That definition has been the subject of much legal debate, but senior judges have over the years often stressed the importance of avoiding a more restrictive interpretation.

– What influence does it have on the UK?

The UK is a signatory to the convention, so cannot simply ignore its rules. Moreover the country’s asylum system has been designed to be compatible with the convention and its principles are reflected in immigration rules.

There have been concerns raised in recent years that Conservative efforts to tighten border security have amounted an attempt to diverge from the convention’s standards.

Ms Braverman argues that the current approach is incompatible with mass migration, she grapples with thousands of small boat crossings (Gareth Fuller/PA)

The Home Secretary is set to complain about the application of Article 31 under the Refugee Convention. She will argue that it is “absurd and unsustainable” that people can travel through “multiple safe countries” before coming to the UK.

The convention has been designed to ensure that refugees are not punished for arriving in countries illegally. Individuals are also not required to have come directly from places where they have been placed at risk.

This approach has long been contentious, but part of the logic has been to ensure international cooperation on the sharing of refugees. The convention makes this clear, noting that “the grant of asylum may place unduly heavy burdens on certain countries”.

– How is it linked to Channel crossings and small boats?

Ms Braverman argues that the current approach is incompatible with mass migration, as the Home Secretary grapples with thousands of small boat crossings.

Calls for reform of the Refugee Convention are not new, but it is likely to prove difficult – especially given the fact that some of Ms Braverman’s complaints relate to some of the central principles of the 1951 document.",1

The main argument indicates that the decline is related not only to the technical difficulties regarding the stimulation of interdisciplinarity and transversality of the acquired knowledge, the connection between artistic and critical abilities and the incorporation of contents linked to creative competencies into its current educational programs. The city also suffers from the reduction of government and private investment in innovation, as well as the negative impacts of economic crises and political problems, especially corruption and the discontinuity of public policies. 1. Introduction In the 1980s, the concept of “creative city” was predominantly used in reference to a place where artists played a central role and the imagination and creativity established the “urban spirit”. Creative industries—from design to performing arts—have had great importance over time because of their economic relevance and role in creating an urban identity. Gradually, the presence of a large “creative class” (Florida, 2002) as well as research communities and nomads of knowledge indicated the existence of a “creative city”. Nowadays, the concept of “creative city” refers more commonly to urban spaces where the efficient articulation between social and artistic activities, cultural industries and government was able to produce a cultural effervescence that develops and attracts talents, promotes social diversity, increases the job offer, generates greater knowledge among citizens, increases the creative potential of companies and institutions, attracts more tourists and thus contributes significantly to the city’s economy and the quality of life of its citizens. According to Landry (2011), the creativity of a city can be applied to multiple fields that transcended the creative industries or the presence of a creative class: for a creative class to flourish, public administration should promote social innovations with creativity in areas such as governance, health, public security and education. In its turn, education is important for the development of a creative city because it promotes the development of creative and innovative skills necessary for a better governance, as well as the promotion of the life quality of its citizens. Creative education is based on a multidisciplinary perspective and encompasses sensitivity, entrepreneurial attitudes, social and communication skills, understanding of sociocultural dynamics and market and political analysis (Hearn & Bridgstock, 2010). Although education is fundamental for the consolidation of a creative city, some urban spaces that were classified this way—especially in the developing world—see the rapid decline of their educational systems (Jesus & Kamlot, 2018). Rio de Janeiro is one of the cities around the world which sees the rapid decline of the educational system, necessary for the consolidation of its position as a creative city. The main purpose of this article is to examine the main causes and consequences of the decline of creative education in that city. The main argument indicates that the decline is related not only to the technical difficulties regarding the stimulation of interdisciplinarity and transversality of the acquired knowledge, the connection between artistic and critical abilities and the incorporation of contents linked to creative competencies into its current educational programs. The city also suffers from the reduction of government and private investment in innovation, as well as the negative impacts of economic crises—which make investment and the access to education by the population more difficult—and political problems, especially corruption—which deviates resources that should be used in schools and universities for the maintenance of infrastructure and the payment of salaries of education professionals—and the discontinuity of public policies. 2. Theoretical Framework The literature shows that the emergence of “creative industries”—such as crafts, fashion, audio-visual, music, book and the new software and games industries (Miguez, 2007)—is very connected to the transformation from materialistic to post-materialistic values and the attendance of aesthetic and intellectual needs of people and their involvement in autonomous decision-making processes. This took place in the context of the fourth Industrial Revolution and the consolidation of the knowledge society, in which capital is based on intellectual resources (Bendassolli et al., 2009; Jesus & Kamlot, 2017). In the light of these changes, the qualification of creative professionals in the use of technologies was needed to respond to the increasing market demands. Instead of the preparation of a standardized labor force as in industrial economy, the knowledge society needs to prepare a more flexible one for the creative economy, with an education process which also includes business practices and critical political and social thought (Florida, 2002, 2005). In this sense, the interdisciplinarity between arts, humanities and sciences and the independent thinking need to be developed from the earliest stages of the educational process to the university to promote more independent actions, creative and imaginative engagement and research skills by students for the production of innovation (Araya, 2010; Venturelli, 2000). The technical/scientific and cultural/creative pillars of creative education allow the insertion of new topics of knowledge, while the business pillar turns them into products and services valued by the market and society (Hearn & Bridgstock, 2010). The interconnectedness goes side by side with the notion that collaboration on various platforms may lead to learning and innovation based on collective intelligence networks that stimulate cooperation and innovation (Araya, 2010). This education also encompasses the development of critical thinking about the political-economic and socio-cultural dynamics, especially those involving issues such as sustainability and the respect for cultural differences based on origin, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation and economic situation. Creative education includes the valuation of traditional knowledge and practices in order to stimulate students to think critically about past problems and imagine possible solutions for the future. The education for the preservation of cultural heritage, for example, is fundamental to the development of a creative city, insofar as it can enable the restructuring of urban spaces emphasizing the arts, differentiated services and entertainment to attract creative professionals; reappropriate, restore and rehabilitate the present, aiming at a future of renewed social relations in the city; and lead to the apprehension of traditional knowledge, transversal to several fields, aiming at socioeconomic development (Tomaz, 2010). Nevertheless, creative cities in the developing world, especially in Brazil, show some limitations in the development of creative education. Interdisciplinarity and transversality of the acquired knowledge by students are rarely stimulated in the light of the rigidness of curriculum guidelines. The development of artistic, creative and critical abilities and the investment in disruptive and incremental innovation are commonly replaced by the transmission of acritical knowledge for students, which preserves the logic of an industrial system based on the stimulus of technical competences which marginalize creativity for the promotion of innovation in processes, products and services in social, economic and political organizations, as well as critical notions of citizenship. There are also problems related to economic crises, responsible for limiting the resources available for education and the construction of partnerships between the government and the private sector, which can bring alternatives for funding activities in hard economic times. It is also possible to cite the political issues associated to the corruption and the misuse of funds for education by politicians and businessmen (Jesus & Dubeux, 2018). These problems limit the possibilities to develop innovation, which is fundamental to stimulate economy recovery and create job and income opportunities (Li, 2013). The development of creative competencies into current educational programs, the encouragement of the interaction between technical schools and social initiatives and the strengthening of incubators and research centers would have an essential role in the process of recovery during crises, but these initiatives face obstacles related to limitation of resources, political discontinuities and corrupt schemes and the preservation of a technical approach devoted to the necessities of a traditional society, not an innovative one (Jesus et al., 2018). 3. Methodology The bibliographic research consisted of reading, selecting and organizing topics on the decline of creative education in the city of Rio de Janeiro. The next steps were the research of the political, economic and technical contexts that motivated the crisis of creative education in the city of Rio de Janeiro and the evaluation of how the obstacles for the full potential of creative education as an engine for development were created and consolidated. At this step, we used information released by governmental institutions and statements and data from government officials and education institutions’ managers, drawn from the media and think tanks, as well as the official websites of basic, secondary and higher education institutions in the city. In the proposed content analysis, the collected data were organized into four categories: 1) the political crisis of Rio de Janeiro and its effects on education; 2) the economic crisis of Rio de Janeiro and its effects on education; 3) the technical crisis of education in the city of Rio de Janeiro; 4) the consequences of the decline of creative education in Rio de Janeiro. 4. Results and Analysis In the 2000s and the early 2010s, Rio de Janeiro started to develop the image of a “creative city” as a mechanism for urban transformation, social inclusion, development of cultural capital and the construction of an international showcase for attracting business and talent. With the support from the federal and state governments, the city administration articulated with creative industries and cultural producers to establish a space for the valuation of diversity and entrepreneurship. To stimulate cultural capital, the municipal government sought to broaden the network of public cultural spaces, strengthen access to culture and, specifically, focus on supporting production, marketing, infrastructure and training for creative sectors. The dissemination of the image of the city abroad was based on the realization of huge sociocultural events, such as the parades of samba schools during Carnival season, and mega sport events, such as the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games (Aprigio, 2015). These initiatives could also stimulate tourism, as well as preserve the cultural heritage and the environment to the benefit of local population. However, Rio de Janeiro was affected by multiple crises, and some of them resulted from problems in the education area or had impacts in this sector. The main crises Rio de Janeiro has been through and their effects on creative education are presented in Table 1. 4.1. The Political Crisis of the City of Rio de Janeiro and Its Effects on Education According to Bezerra (2012), corruption is structured in the public apparatus in Brazil through the creation of personal networks and can be defined by relations and practices that protect specific groups and elites, as evidenced in cases of corruption in which politicians from all over the country have been involved— since Brazil was a Portuguese possession—in the national, federation state and municipal public spheres. The worsening of the political crisis relates to the complexification of these personal networks, which have become public more frequently since the beginning of this decade due to the greater performance of the Federal Police in investigating such cases, the greater action of the Judiciary in the punishment of politicians and businessmen involved in corruption cases and greater information brought by the media about corruption. The gradual dismantling of corruption networks has affected numerous actors involved in such schemes and brought fear to potential investors, who reallocated their resources for other Table 1. Crises of the city of Rio de Janeiro and their effects on creative education. countries (Jesus, 2019). With less resources, the chances for investment in creative education were limited, including in Rio de Janeiro. More recently, there was the gradual dismantling of corruption schemes spread throughout the political apparatus of the state of Rio de Janeiro, including its capital, but it was not enough to recover the lost investments in many strategic sectors of Rio de Janeiro’s society, including education. Two governors—Sérgio Cabral Filho and Luiz Fernando Pezão—were arrested in the context of Lava Jato Operation, a set of investigations underway by Brazilian Federal Police, which began in March 2014. The operation investigates crimes of active and passive corruption, fraudulent management, criminal organization and obstruction of justice in Brazil. The Lava Jato Operation brought new accusations and arrests in Rio de Janeiro during 2018 and 2019. From its beginning to October 2018, 190 people were arrested, 39 people were arrested temporarily, 40 coercive conducts occurred, and 466 searches and seizures were implemented, according to the Federal Public Ministry (MPF, its acronym in Portuguese). The crimes involved active and passive corruption, money laundering, criminal organization, gang formation, ideological falsehood, currency evasion, crime against the economic order and the financial system, influence peddling, operation of unauthorized financial institution and embezzlement, among others (MPF, 2018). In the city of Rio de Janeiro, an impeachment request process was open against Mayor Marcelo Crivella in April 2019, because he would have extended, without legal permission, a 1999 concession authorizing two groups of advertising agencies to use 34 public places such as bus stops and street clocks for advertising. The contract provided for the operation of these sites for 20 years and had no clause permitting renewal. Previously, other impeachment requests from the mayor had been denied (Barreira et al., 2019). With the political instability, the continuity of many policies dedicated to the promotion of creative education was compromised, and new proposals were not implemented nor were able to work in the light of the clashes of interests among politicians and the establishment of other priorities by them, such as the maintenance of their political offices. The unfavourable economic and political situation led to the spread of crime in the state of Rio de Janeiro and its capital throughout 2018, so even the access to schools and universities became more difficult in the light of the dispute between the Police and the criminals. Three months before the end of the federal intervention in the security of the state of Rio de Janeiro—which started in January 2018—it was possible to detect the fall in certain types of robberies and thefts, but the number of homicides had increased (4039 violent deaths between February and August 2018, in comparison with 3810 in the same period in 2017), with a quarter of them being caused by police officers. Between February and August 2018, 82,578 thefts were registered, while 84,400 were registered in the same period in 2017. There was an increase in certain types of robberies, such as those against passengers in collective transportation. Although there was a reduction of 9.5% in cargo theft in the state, this reduction came to the cost of R$46 million (US$12 million) in operations of the Armed Forces. This last reduction results from the concentration of resources in this issue to meet the demands of entrepreneurs, but crimes against life continued to increase. Although there was a slight decrease in the number of police officers’ deaths, 916 people were killed between February and August 2018 by police interventions, a number that exceeded 615 deaths in the same period of 2017. The federal intervention tested a model of public security based on a military conception, which thought violence and crime as war problems, not from changes in management, strengthening of intelligence and reduction of crimes against life (Fábio, 2018). In the light of the danger brought by violence and crime, mobile applications were created to indicate locations where shootings and other crimes occur, and these statements are reported by the users themselves, who send alerts to the other individuals who are users of the software. The social participation practices in the formulation of public policies in the city of Rio de Janeiro could be more stimulated if there were a greater investment in creative and critical education. However, an example that these practices have been threatened in the city was visible in the murder of the councilor Marielle Franco and her driver Anderson Gomes, in the neighbourhood of Estácio, in March 2018. As a defender of the rights of women, the LGBT population, blacks and the population of the city’s favelas, Franco was the fifth most voted candidate for the position in the city in 2016 and the second most voted councilwoman in the entire country. In the city government, she was part of a commission which had the objective of monitoring the federal intervention in Rio de Janeiro’s public security and was chosen as the commission’s rapporteur in February 2018. Franco was very critical of federal intervention, police abuses and human rights violations (Odilla, 2018). 4.2. The Economic Crisis of the City of Rio de Janeiro and Its Effects on Education The economic crisis of Rio de Janeiro reflects, in part, a national problem. In the light of the fall in the price of commodities of which Brazil remains extremely dependent, policies to encourage consumption continued in force by Brazilian government, but the side effect of this was an imbalance of public accounts, which undermined Brazilian credibility and limited the amount of money to invest in strategic sectors, such as education (Jesus & Kamlot, 2017). Because of this limitation, the funding of projects devoted to the development of artistic and critical abilities in students and innovation—which would benefit not only companies, but the society in general—were reduced or interrupted. In the state of Rio de Janeiro, the economic recession—coupled with the slowdown in the activities of the oil industry and the fall in tax revenues—led to a greater pauperization of the population, which was further exacerbated by the corruption spread by the political apparatus, described above. The situation has led not only to a shortage of state officers’ salaries, but the collapse of state government programs in 2017 and 2018. The chaotic situation of Rio de Janeiro—especially in its capital—not only complicates the access of students to schools because of the violence in many communities. Many of these students are not able to complete their educational formation because they must enter the job market earlier, in subaltern positions, or even see better opportunities of life working for drug cartels in the favelas. Creative education is also important to stimulate local vocations, but the industries and service providers in the city remained weakened during the political-economic crisis, which created a discouragement of the city’s vocations. Among the factors that reflect this crisis, it is worth mentioning the worsening of unemployment, the main cause of defaults in Rio de Janeiro’s commerce in 2018. More than half of the cases of defaults (55%) were due to unemployment, followed by a decrease in income (20%), delays in payment (10%) and lack of control of expenses (8%), among other factors (Lucena, 2018). The worsening of the unemployment situation in the city and the state of Rio de Janeiro is deeply related to the fiscal crisis, which has lasted for at least three years. The situation resulted from policies applied to solve the tax issues, which, instead of focusing on tax reforms, chose to freeze public investments for two decades and sell the national assets, such as the oil reserves in the pre-salt layer. In 2018, the president of the National Deputies’ Chamber, Rodrigo Maia, approved the tax recovery agreement of Rio de Janeiro, so that the federal state would make adjustments of R$63 billion (US$12 billion) by 2020, with measures that included the cut of expenses in the first four months of 2018. 3642 jobs were lost in the state, a situation mainly driven by the commerce sector (Gonçalves, 2018). The fiscal crisis also affected the consumption of families due to delays in the payment of salaries of active civil servants, retirees and pensioners, which began in early 2016, and payments began to be settled only in early 2018. This crisis has created obstacles to access to private schools and universities that could promote creative education. It has also aggravated the bad indicators of public safety, which interferes with trade, tourism and education, as shown above. It should be noted that a large part of the fiscal problem is related to the Petrobras crisis, affected by the Lava Jato investigations (Estadão, 2018). In the specific case of the city of Rio de Janeiro and the metropolitan region of the state, the non-preservation of the legacy of the 2016 Olympic Games and the fiscal crisis made this metropolitan region the Brazilian champion in the closing of job opportunities, with a total number of 38,400 people fired between June 2017 and June 2018. The crisis in Rio de Janeiro—particularly in the state capital—eventually created obstacles to the Brazilian recovery. After the Olympic Games and layoffs in the construction sector, the state of Rio de Janeiro had the country’s sixth highest unemployment rate in the second quarter of 2018 (15.4%). The state’s fiscal crisis had affected the expectations of the business community, which reduced the possibility of hiring (Estadão, 2018). Prospects for recovery in business and employment remained low in the first quarter of 2019 due to a series of difficulties. In the case of industry, the recovery movement had to overcome the operational limitation related to the large idle capacity in the production lines. Without the investments in the existing operations or the opening of new units in 2019, the tendency is the deterioration of the scenario in the labour market. In addition, the non-approval of the Pension Reform creates obstacles to recovery, especially in Rio de Janeiro, where the crisis has reached monumental proportions. Without such reforms, companies may leave the country, and the currency can lose strength with higher inflation. With interest increases, the debt increases, and the credit lacks (Teixeira, 2019). 4.3. The Technical Crisis of Education in the City of Rio de Janeiro According to the National Education Plan, the educational systems in Brazil must support knowledge and learning in continuous cultural innovation, but the same plan recognizes that it was still based in an industrial model and focused on a reproductive logic. The educational infrastructure does not deal effectively with interdisciplinarity and transversality of knowledge nor bring ways to promote them in schools or how to strategically develop transdisciplinarity among cultural, technological and entrepreneur areas since the earliest stages of the educational process (Jesus & Dubeux, 2018). The difficulties of ownership due to cost and regulatory problems regarding new technologies are related to a gap in the stimulation of the students’ technological skills and the valuation of students’ creative thinking in the teaching process (Reis, 2008). The 2017 School Census by the Ministry of Education shows that the presence of technological resources such as computer labs and internet access still does not happen in many Brazilian schools. Only 46.8% of primary schools have a computer lab; 65.6% of schools have access to the internet; in 53.5% of schools, the internet is broadband. The state of Rio de Janeiro is one of the places in Brazil with the highest number of public schools. However, between 2014 and 2015, this state had a 72% drop in investment in infrastructure and maintenance. The city of Rio de Janeiro has more than 1000 municipal schools, but a 2011 survey conducted by the Municipal Department of Education found out that 62% of the municipal school infrastructure was “poor or bad” (Longaigh, 2017). In many private institutions of basic and secondary education in Rio de Janeiro, the focus is still in the preparation of the students for the entrance exam in universities, with a scarce preoccupation with the stimulus to artistic or creative competences, as well as a more critical view on the deep social issues in Brazilian society. Although some private schools develop a model of creative education compatible with international standards regarding academic excellence, life intelligence and global citizenship, they must adapt their creative proposals to rigid curricular guidelines and charge high monthly fees to maintain their infrastructure and services, which is not affordable for the greatest part of Rio de Janeiro’s population. In Brazilian public higher education institutions, a sharp cut in resources occurred in recent years and was accentuated in 2019, including the ones located in Rio de Janeiro. Because of reduced funds, there is more difficulty to produce scientific research with significant impact on the public management and the productive system. While some developed countries allocate up to 5% of GDP for innovation, the 2018 budget for innovation in technology, science and innovation in Brazil was the lowest in the decade (Soares, 2018). The cuts deeply affect agencies that support research and infrastructure projects for researchers and teaching and research institutions. In May 2019, the Brazilian government cut funds for basic activities in federal universities all over the country, as well as resources of agencies that contribute to the development of science and knowledge in Brazil, such as the Brazilian National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq, its acronym in Portuguese). Some institutions such as the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ, its acronym in Portuguese) were one of the most affected by the cuts. It is also important to say that the revelation by Lava Jato Operation that companies were involved in cases of corruption compromised the allocation of funds for innovation. The generalized crisis affected the employment and reflected the greater economic instability and risk associated with existing businesses, as well as damaged the generation of new ventures and limits the creation of jobs. Multiple innovation projects in public universities that depended on the government support lacked funds or were terminated. Many internationally renowned research groups were dismantled, and the “brain drain” to other countries became more intense, which can seriously compromise Brazilian future regarding the promotion of innovation (Lewer, 2017). The cuts of resources in agencies that contribute to the development of science and knowledge in Brazil also affected private institutions, including institutions located in Rio de Janeiro, such as the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio, its acronym in Portuguese). Besides, many private universities suffer from the limitation of student financing programs. As the number of unemployed people is high and salaries are low, students are less able to afford the tuition fees of a higher education institution. Such students have a hierarchy of priorities in their expenses, and basic ones such as rent and food are in a higher position than education. To cut costs, students end up not entering universities or choose to abandon them because of their reduced income (Jesus, 2019). 4.4. The Consequences of the Decline of Creative Education in Rio de Janeiro The population of Rio de Janeiro, in recent times, has been showing increasing dissatisfaction with the city. More than 70% of the cariocas indicated some degree of displeasure with the city, a number similar to those that showed interest in moving to another city (Veja Rio, 2016). In the opinion of the residents, items such as lack of security, chaotic traffic, pollution and lack of good care would be responsible for the feeling of abandonment and the reduction of self-esteem. In 2019, some projects developed by the city council began to be put into practice, which apparently helped in an improvement in the confidence of the inhabitants. The Confidence Index of the Fluminense (inhabitant of the state of Rio de Janeiro) Industrial Managers, that ranges from 0 to 100 points—with points above 50 indicating optimism and below that value, pessimism—reached 60.4 points in January 2019, which represents 10.2 points above the historical average of the index, being the first time since 2011 that the local industry begins the year with high optimism, which can be credited, in part, to the results of the capital city of Rio de Janeiro. Also, the indicator of expectations for the next six months reached 66.0 points, against a historical average of 54.2 points, that is, an increase of 11.8 points (Silveira, 2019). Despite all the difficulties faced by the city in the social, economic and environmental spheres, the city of Rio de Janeiro was recognized by UNESCO— United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization—as the First World Capital of Architecture. The carioca architectural group surpassed cities like Melbourne and Paris, and its recognition was declared based on works such as the Museum of Modern Art, the Royal Portuguese Reading Office, the Municipal Theater, the Lage Park, the Monastery of São Bento, the City of the Arts and the Museum of Tomorrow, among others (Camargo, 2019). However, some of the most visible expressions of the decline of creative education in Rio de Janeiro are the neglect and depredation of the material heritage and the devaluation of the immaterial heritage, which show the lack of an intense patrimonial education process (Tomaz, 2010). The poor conditions of preservation of the cultural heritage in Rio de Janeiro—which highlights the lack of investment of the government in maintenance and conservation of cultural spaces and their prioritization in public policies—were evident in the fire of great proportions that reached the National Museum, in September 2018, which is managed by UFRJ. The fire was considered the worst tragedy involving Brazilian cultural and scientific heritage. In April 2019, the Federal Police stated that the fire that destroyed the museum began in one of the air conditioners in the ground floor auditorium of the three-story building (Silveira, 2019). The decline of creative education in Rio de Janeiro was also visible when education and culture seemed to be two opposite universes by the city administration. For example, the mayor Crivella said that, because of the economic and financial crises in the city and the necessity to develop new schools, he cut resources from some the most important cultural events of the city, such as Carnival. In March 2019, Crivellastated that Rio de Janeiro was an “epicenter of corruption and violence” and that it would only be possible to overcome such crisis with “behaviour changes” so that the political leaders of the city would no longer have a “carnival look” of public office. According to Crivella, he withdrew public funds from Carnival, but sought to ensure that the resources for the event came from the private sector. According to him, public men should “like simple things and give value to solidarity, humility, confidence and austerity”. Many society groups indicated that Crivella took this decision based on his religious motivations and created a dichotomy between education and culture, as if one did not feed the other (Nogueira, 2019). The lack of creative education compatible with the notion of sustainable development still puts Rio de Janeiro in a very low position in the Sustainable Cities Index. In the 2017 index, Rio de Janeiro occupies the 82nd position, behind cities such as Beijing (73rd), São Paulo (79th) and Buenos Aires (80th) (Arcadis, 2017). This index is calculated based on a broad measure of sustainability, encompassing social, environmental, and economic indicators of cities. Social health measurement reflects social mobility and the quality of opportunities and life; environmental measurement is based on the management of energy use, pollution and other emissions; and economic measurement assesses the business environment and economic performance (Arcadis, 2018). In 2018, Rio de Janeiro came to occupy the 84th position, falling two positions when compared to the previous ranking – which denotes the need for improvement in the measures in question. Analyzing each of them, Rio ranks 90th in the social health index, 47th in the environmental index, and 93rd in the economic index. For the sake of comparison, São Paulo (the largest Brazilian city) now occupies the 78th position, Beijing is the 73rd, and Buenos Aires, the 81st. It is noticeable that there are issues to be improved in Rio de Janeiro, especially in the social and economic spheres, which impact in education. The reputation of the city suffers from the consequences of the problems in the promotion of creative education, although not all of its problems may be justified by this decline. For example, in the 2018 Cities in Motion Index, the city occupies the 126th position, dropping 12 positions compared to 2017 (114th) (IESE, 2018). This last index remained below the minimum desirable. In 2018, the worst indexes are urban mobility, governance and human capital. In the 2018 City RepTrak, the city occupies the 51st. position and continues in the list of the “Bottom 10 Cities”, the ten cities considered in the report with the worst reputations. 5. Final Considerations The decline of creative education in the city of Rio de Janeiro is only “the tip of the iceberg” of more structural problems. To overcome this situation, it would be necessary, in the economic dimension, to seek the fiscal adjustment of the state of Rio de Janeiro, present in the fiscal recovery project, in order to reduce its expenses so that it gradually returns to offer quality public services, in addition to maintaining the payment of state public officers (Gonçalves, 2018). It would not only guarantee the consumption capacity of these professionals and stimulate the attraction of investments—which is linked to the development of competitiveness—but would give people the opportunity to keep studying. It is also important to stimulate the Social Security Reform to stimulate the resumption of investments in the city and the state of Rio de Janeiro, as well as invest in the engagement with the business and the third sectors in the training of citizens for the engagement of such people in productive sectors related to urban vocations, with the use of local knowledge in the generation of income and employment. In the light of the deficiencies of public security policy in Rio de Janeiro—still characterized by the high level of lethality in police actions—and the non-recogni- tion of an efficient public administration, creative education is necessary to stimulate the engagement of organized groups in civil society in the formulation of municipal public policies and the monitoring of political actions and expenses of city, state and federal authorities aiming at public transparency. Education is also necessary to exert pressure on public administration to reduce police lethality and stimulate the professionalization of the police force, as well as changes in the management of public security with the focus on the strengthening of intelligence and the reduction of crimes against life (Fábio, 2018). A reformulation of creative education in Rio de Janeiro would have to take into consideration the development of initiatives devoted to heritage preservation and the stimulus of a stronger connection between innovation and life quality, as well as the divulgation of Rio de Janeiro’s image based on the sociocultural events that take place in the city. For these initiatives to work, it would be necessary to incorporate even more, in the creative education initiatives, the notion of diversity as one of the main aspects connected to the identity of the city to stimulate the feeling of belonging of individuals to the place. This means the respect to the plurality of their cultural and artistic manifestations and the guarantee of expression of all differences, including the ones related to race, origin, gender and sexual orientation. Another issue to be considered is the vocation for innovation actions found in Rio inhabitants. Innovation can be a facilitator for long-term development, which would sustain the well-being of a metropolis such as this one. Efficient, creativity-based policies would be useful, with a view to reaching economically sustainable development and educational resources.",1

World Wrestling Entertainment Inc.’s board is looking into a secret $3-million payment that Chief Executive Officer Vince McMahon made to a female former employee with whom he allegedly had an affair, according to the Wall Street Journal, which cited people familiar with the board’s action. McMahon had other nondisclosure agreements regarding alleged misconduct with female employees that the board was investigating, the newspaper reported, citing the people. The probe, which began in April, also reportedly unearthed similar pacts made with former female workers on behalf of John Laurinaitis, a former wrestler who manages talent relations for WWE. The paper said it couldn’t determine how many such pacts were being reviewed. Advertisement A spokesperson for WWE didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. McMahon and Laurinaitis also could not be reached by Bloomberg News. The board so far has concluded McMahon paid the settlements with his own money, the newspaper reported, citing one of the people familiar with the situation.

Lawyers for former US president Donald Trump are slamming prosecutors’ request for a narrow gag order in his 2020 election subversion case in Washington, calling it an effort to “unconstitutionally silence” his political speech.

In court papers filed late on Monday, lawyers for Mr Trump urge US District Judge Tanya Chutkan to deny the proposal to bar the Republican ex-president from making inflammatory and intimidating comments about witnesses, lawyers and other people involved in the criminal case.

Mr Trump’s lawyers call the request a “desperate effort at censorship” that would prevent him from telling his side of the story on the campaign trial as he runs to retake the White House in 2024.

“If the prosecution wishes to avoid criticism for abusing its power, the solution is simple: stop abusing its power. The Constitution allows no alternative.”

In seeking the order earlier this month, special counsel Jack Smith’s team pointed to what it said is a pattern of “false and inflammatory” statements by Mr Trump about the case as well as comments meant to intimidate or harass people he believes are potential witnesses against him.

Prosecutors told the judge that a “narrow, well-defined” order was necessary to preserve the integrity of the case and to avoid prejudicing potential jurors.

Mr Trump’s lawyers said prosecutors have not proved why such an order would be necessary, saying that his social media posts have not intimidated any possible witnesses and that there is no real concern his comments would taint the jury pool.

Mr Trump’s lawyers have also asked the judge to recuse herself from the case, saying her past public statements about him and his connection to the January 6 2021 insurrection at the US Capitol call into question whether she can be fair.

There is a high bar for recusal, and Mr Smith’s team has said there is no valid basis to have the judge removed from the case.",1

Porn scams are phishing tricks whereby criminals try to squeeze you into making contact with them, or even to pay them money immmediately, by claiming to have evidence that you have committed some sort of sexually-related online impropriety. In the early days of porn scamming, the messages were often made to look like police demands, typically locking up your browser or your mobile phone and keeping you stuck on a warning page. These pages were frequently topped-and-tailed with ripped-off police logos determined by your geolocation (e.g. if your IP number was in the US, you would see an FBI logo; if in Australia, you’d get the Australian Federal Police “branding”), to give them a whiff of legitimacy. The web page you ended up locked onto usually offered you two choices: pay an online fine to “decriminalise” the charges and put an end to the matter, much like taking the online route of paying a parking or speeding fine; or get arrested and have your day in court. Here’s what this sort of scamming looked like eight years ago: The good news is that this brand of online extortion didn’t last very long, for three main reasons: Reveton, one of the primary gangs behind these scams, got busted in Spain and shut down. got busted in Spain and shut down. Users learned how to remove this early type of ransomware using free tools to bypass and delete the “lockup” program that tried to take control of your device.. to bypass and delete the “lockup” program that tried to take control of your device.. Cybercriminals turned their attention to a new type of extortion. Police locker scamming dies out The bad news, of course, as alluded to above, is that simplistic “police locker” ransomware, as it was known, was replaced in the cybercrime arsenal by file-locking ransomware, where there was no need for the crooks to pretend to be law enforcement officials. Quite the opposite, indeed: in modern ransomware attacks, which found their criminal feet in the early 2010s, the criminals make no secret of their criminality, usually demanding huge amounts of money for a decryption key to unscramble your files, or for a promise not get your stolen data leaked, or both: Sextortion video scams Porn-oriented scams soon returned to our inboxes, however, with phishing emails that were plain-and-simple blackmail demands, like this one: I’m aware, [REDACTED] is your password. You may not know me, and you are most likely wondering why you’re getting this mail, right? […] I installed a malware on the adult vids (sex sites) site, and there’s more, you visited this site to have fun (you know what I mean). Once you were there on the website, my malware took control of your browser. […] Well, I believe, $1900 is a fair price for your little secret. You will make the payment through Bitcoin (if you don’t know this, search “how to buy bitcoin” in Google). Personal data used for verisimilitude In this revised type of “sextortion” scam, the crooks typically add into the email some widely-known data from an earlier data breach. Usually, this means data stolen from a third-party service provider to whom you’d trusted it but who hadn’t returned your trust with good cybersecurity. By putting into the email an actual password of yours (even if it was an old one you’d already changed), or your phone number, or some other semi-private chunk of data, the criminals hoped to convince you that their claim to have implanted spyware on your computer must be true. And even if you weren’t worried – or didn’t care about – about the porn allegations, the crooks hoped you might still reply to them on the grounds that if they know some private data of yours… …what else might they have got hold of along the way? Over the last year or two, however, we’ve noticed that the steady stream of sextortion emails we used to receive – at one time, we were getting several variants on the theme each week – has dwindled to almost nothing. Note that we’re not suggesting, despite the timing, that the coronavirus pandemic has anything to do with this tail-off in porn scams to our email accounts. You can probably come up with various theories that might plausibly connect the two things, e.g. that home delivery scams turned out more lucrative, so that’s where the artisan parts of the cyberunderworld switched their attention, but correlation (or plain coincidence) does not, as you well know, does not imply causation. We hve no firm evidence for exactly why our own sextortion email “feeds” tailed off, and we can only hope it’s because there was less and less money in it for the crooks as more and more people learned to recognised these scams for what they were. Down, but not out Sadly, however sextortion scams haven’t died out altogether. Like many aspects of cybercrime, old-school techniques fot crookery rarely die out altogether – in the same way when that file-locking ransomware took over from police locker ransomware, and began to dominate the cybersecurity news because of the huge blackmail payments involved… …other types of malware and cybercriminality, such as spyware, keylogging, spambots, cryptomining and romance scamming and spambots, didn’t disappear. Here’s a recent sextortion scam example in French, sent in by a Naked Security reader we’ll refer to simply as @M (thanks, M!) , where the porn scammers have converted their message into an image. This is an old trick that makes it harder for security software that filters incoming messages primarily by analysing the grammar, structure, style and content of the writing: Often, attackers stick to messages in plain text or HTML for the obvious reason that web or email links in those messages typically turn into directly tempting “calls to action”. Web URLs inside emails (and even in plain old SMSes, or text messages) are often automatically made clickable, and embedded email addresses can usually be replied to directly, or copied semi-automatically into your address book or the To: field of a new message. Adding an image that holds the call-to-action text obviously makes it harder for a recipient to reply, because a plain image can’t contain clickable links, or even text that can be copied and pasted. Shaking loose some replies But the criminals behind scam campaigns like these – fake police notices – aren’t trying to entice you to a new website or to encourage you to try clicking on a brand new service. They’re aiming to frighten just a few of the recipients of these messages enough to scare them into replying of their own accord. Indeed, as this email claims (highlight 1 above; our loose translation), after warning you of the penalties for viewing illegal cyberporn (up to 5 years and a fine up to EUR75,000): We sent you an email in this form for reasons of confidentiality. If you wish, you many reply to the address below to explain away your actions, so that we can evaluate your explanation and determine if charges should be brought. You have a strict deadline of 72 hours. Simply put, the criminals are trying to convince you that they do have evidence against you, but they have – for reasons of “fairness” and “decency” – been discreet enough not to include this evidence in an email where someone else might come across it. Presumably, the blackmailers behind this scam are hoping that at least some of the recipients will feel pressurised into justifying themselves, perhaps by explaining that although they have looked at porn recently, they haven’t knowingly committed any criminal offences or viewed any illegal content while doing so. As you can imagine, anything that’s shared with the criminals will simply be worked into future correspondence with potential victims, in order to increase the amount of manipulation and the level of pressure applied by the crooks. Any personal circumstances or explanations offered to the crooks will be turned into replies intended to amplify and expand the fear of those victims, until they agree to take some action to “suppress” or to “finalise” the matter, typically involving paying over some sort of “fine” or hush money. The criminals finish off even more threateningly (highlight 2 above): You are now summoned to answer in your own words immediately in order to prevent this matter from going further and taking an unpleasant turn against you. After 72 hours, we will are obliged to send our report to the Public Prosecutor to issue an arrest warrant against you. We will proceed to have you arrested by the police closest to your place of residence. What to do? We suspect that most or all Naked Security readers will discard emails of this sort without further thought. But you may have family or friends who, if they are worried by a message like this, probably won’t reach out to you for help… …so we’ve published this article to try to help them where you might not be able to.

The Home Secretary will use a speech in the US to question whether the United Nations Refugee Convention 1951 should be reformed, in a speech she is due to make on Tuesday.

Ms Braverman will use a keynote speech at the American Enterprise Institute, a centre-right think tank in Washington DC, to set out a blueprint for international efforts to tackle the refugee crisis.

The senior Cabinet minister has previously taken aim at the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) signed in 1950, claiming it restricted the Government’s efforts to introduce policies such as the Rwanda scheme.

In a keynote speech Ms Braverman is set to describe the UN convention as “an incredible achievement of its age”.

“But more than 70 years on, we now live in a completely different time,” she will add, claiming research suggests it “now confers the notional right to move to another country upon at least 780 million people”.

“It is therefore incumbent upon politicians and thought leaders to ask whether the Refugee Convention, and the way it has come to be interpreted through our courts, is fit for our modern age. Or whether it is in need of reform.”

She will also argue that tests for how refugees are defined have changed, lowering the threshold for claiming asylum.

Ms Braverman will say: “Let me be clear, there are vast swathes of the world where it is extremely difficult to be gay, or to be a woman. Where individuals are being persecuted, it is right that we offer sanctuary.

“But we will not be able to sustain an asylum system if in effect simply being gay, or a woman, and fearful of discrimination in your country of origin is sufficient to qualify for protection.”

She is expected to add: “The status quo, where people are able to travel through multiple safe countries, and even reside in safe countries for years, while they pick their preferred destination to claim asylum, is absurd and unsustainable.

“Nobody entering the UK by boat from France is fleeing imminent peril. None of them have ‘good cause’ for illegal entry.”

The Home Secretary is also expected to use her visit to seek closer ties with US authorities on tackling illegal migration and people trafficking.

She will meet US homeland security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and attorney general Merrick Garland for talks on migration and national security.

As Ms Braverman mulled over reform of the convention ahead of the visit, her ideas were welcomed by the chairman of campaign group Migration Watch UK.

Alp Mehmet said she was right to “call out the conventions” and suggested the UK should withdraw from both the ECHR and the Refugee Convention if reforms were not made.

But the Refugee Council warned the UK should be “addressing the real issues in the asylum system, such as the record backlog, and providing safe routes for those in need of protection” rather than tearing up agreements.

Freedom from Torture chief executive Sonya Sceats said: “Having already trampled over international law with the Illegal Migration Act, it is shocking to see the Home Secretary imploring the US and other democracies to tear up treaties designed to protect human rights.

“This will make the world an even more dangerous place, and not just for torture survivors seeking safety, but for all of us.”

Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper accused the Tories of offering ‘cheap gimmicks’ (Victoria Jones/PA)

Labour shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said Ms Braverman “has given up on fixing the Tories’ asylum chaos” and is “looking for anyone else to blame”.

“On her watch, dangerous boat crossings are up, the backlog of undecided cases is at a record high, returns are down by 70% and the taxpayer is now spending an astronomical £8 million a day on hotels – all because the Conservatives have time and again offered cheap gimmicks instead of getting a proper grip,” she said.

“And instead of enhancing international co-operation to go after the criminal gangs and build long-term solutions, this Government has made it harder to get other countries to work with us by undermining international agreements that they still want other countries to abide by and offering no solutions.”

Nearly 24,000 people have been detected crossing the English Channel in small boats this year so far, despite Rishi Sunak’s promise to “stop the boats”, though the number of crossings are down from 2022.

The lawsuit, filed in US District Court for the Western District of Washington, is the result of a years-long investigation into Amazon’s businesses and one of the most significant legal challenges brought against the company in its nearly 30-year history.

According to a news release sent by the agency, the FTC and states that joined the lawsuit are asking the court to issue a permanent court injunction that they say would prohibit Amazon from engaging in its unlawful conduct and loosen its “monopolistic control to restore competition”.

Amazon’s ongoing pattern of illegal conduct blocks competition, allowing it to wield monopoly power to inflate prices, degrade quality, and stifle innovation for consumers and businesses /2 — FTC (@FTC) September 26, 2023

“The complaint sets forth detailed allegations noting how Amazon is now exploiting its monopoly power to enrich itself while raising prices and degrading service for the tens of millions of American families who shop on its platform and the hundreds of thousands of businesses that rely on Amazon to reach them,” FTC chairman Lina Khan said in a statement.

Many had wondered whether the agency would seek to a forced break-up of the retail giant, which is also dominant in cloud computing and has a growing presence in other sectors like groceries and healthcare.

In a briefing with reporters, Ms Khan dodged questions of whether that will happen.

“At this stage, the focus is more on liability,” she said.

Some estimates show Amazon controls about 40% of the e-commerce market. A majority of the sales on its platform are facilitated by independent sellers consisting of small and medium-sized businesses and individuals.

In return for the access it provides to its platform, Amazon rakes in billions through referral fees and other services like advertising, which makes products sold by sellers more visible on the platform.

The vast majority of third-party merchants also use the company’s fulfilment service to store inventory and ship items to customers. Amazon has been consistently raising fees for those reliant on the programme and more recently imposed – and then abandoned- another fee on some who do not, a move that was blasted by the company’s critics.

Last quarter, Amazon reported 32.3 billion dollars in revenue from third-party services. According to the anti-monopoly organisation Institute for Local Self-Reliance, the fees cost US sellers 45% of their revenue in the first half of this year – up from 35% in 2020 and 19% in 2014.

Amazon has also long faced allegations of undercutting businesses that sell on its platform by assessing merchant data and creating its own competing product that it then boosts on the site.

In August, the company said it was eliminating some in-house brands that were not resonating with customers and would relaunch some items under existing brands like Amazon Basics and Amazon Essentials.

Booksellers and authors have also been urging the Department of Justice to investigate what they have called Amazon’s “monopoly power over the market for books and ideas”.

Amazon did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Tuesday.

If successful, a court case could be a big boost for the FTC’s Ms Khan, a Big Tech critic who gained prominence as a Yale law student in 2017 for her scholarly work “Amazon’s Antitrust Paradox”.

In 2021, Amazon had sought to get her recused from agency probes against the company because of her earlier criticism.

Under Ms Khan’s watch, the FTC has aggressively attempted to blunt Big Tech’s influence but has been unsuccessful recently in some of the most high-profile cases, including its bid to block Microsoft’s takeover of the video game maker Activision Blizzard and Meta’s acquisition of the virtual reality startup Within Unlimited.

The agency is currently in the middle of a protracted lawsuit against Facebook parent Meta, which it alleges to have engaged in monopolistic behaviour. The Justice Department is also challenging Google’s market power in court.

Some of the agency’s allegations in the Amazon case mirrors those made in a separate lawsuit last year by the state of California. A similar case filed by the District of Columbia was thrown out by a federal judge earlier last year and is currently under appeal.

The federal complaint follows other actions the FTC has taken against Amazon in the past few months. In June, the agency sued the company, alleging it was using deceptive practices to enrol consumers into Amazon Prime and making it challenging for them to cancel their subscriptions. Amazon disputes the allegations.

In late May, the company agreed to pay a 25 million dollars civil penalty to settle allegations that it violated a child privacy law and misled parents about data deletion practices on its popular voice assistant Alexa.",1

JP Morgan said that 55 million dollars of the settlement will go toward local charities that provide assistance to victims of domestic abuse and trafficking and other crimes, as well as to enhance the capabilities of local law enforcement.

Of that amount, 10 million dollars will be used to create a fund to provide mental health services for Epstein’s survivors, according the Virgin Islands Department of Justice.

The Virgin Islands, where Epstein had an estate, sued JP Morgan last year, saying its investigation has revealed that the financial services giant enabled Epstein’s recruiters to pay victims and was “indispensable to the operation and concealment of the Epstein trafficking enterprise”.

It had been seeking penalties and disgorgement of at least 190 million dollars, in addition to other damages.

In effect, the Virgin Islands had argued that JP Morgan had been complicit in Epstein’s behaviour and did not raise any red flags to law enforcement or bank regulators about Epstein being a “high risk” customer and making repeated large cash withdrawals.

The settlement averts a trial that had been set to start next month.

The bank also said it reached an confidential legal settlement with James “Jes” Staley, the former top JP Morgan executive who managed the Epstein account before leaving the bank.

JP Morgan sued former Barclays boss Mr Staley earlier this year, alleging that he covered up or minimised Epstein’s wrongdoing in order to maintain the lucrative account.

JP Morgan had already agreed to pay 290 million dollars in June in a class-action lawsuit that involved victims of Epstein’s trafficking crimes.

Suella Braverman, in comments that have been seized upon by her critics, will use a speech in the United States to say that offering asylum to a person because they are gay, a woman or fearing discrimination in their home country is not sustainable.

Campaign group Freedom from Torture said any attempt by the UK Government to “weaken protection” for the gay community was “shameful”.

The comments are expected to form part of Mrs Braverman’s argument that the threshold for asylum has been steadily lowered since the United Nations’ Refugee Convention was ratified more than 70 years ago.

She will question whether the accord is “fit for our modern age” and ask allied administrations to consider if it is “in need of reform”.

She is set to tell a Washington DC audience on Tuesday that there has been a “shift” in what qualifies as a basis for an asylum claim, with it moving from “persecution” to “discrimination” in a change that she will say has allowed millions more to potentially qualify for refugee status.

Mrs Braverman’s decision to call into question the UN accord comes against a backdrop of domestic struggles to control irregular migration numbers.

The Cabinet minister is tasked with helping to deliver the Prime Minister’s pledge of stopping the boats from crossing the Channel — one of five commitments that Rishi Sunak hopes to deliver ahead of a likely election next year.

Almost 24,000 migrants have arrived into the UK via small boats since January.

The annual arrivals number, while down 26% from the same period in 2022, is likely to rise after people thought to be migrants were spotted being brought in to Dover, Kent, early on Tuesday.

A group of people thought to be migrants, including young children, are brought in to Dover, Kent, from a Border Force vessel on Tuesday

In her speech to the American Enterprise Institute, a centre-right think tank, Mrs Braverman will declare that no migrant crossing the Channel to Britain is in “imminent peril” and accuse some asylum seekers of “shopping around” for their “preferred destination”.

She will say that research indicates that the 1951 UN refugee accord — backed by 149 states — “now confers the notional right to move to another country upon at least 780 million people”, with the threshold for claiming asylum having been reduced over time.

Ms Braverman, according to a pre-briefed extract of her speech, will say: “I think most members of the public would recognise those fleeing a real risk of death, torture, oppression or violence as in need of protection.

“However, as case law has developed, what we have seen in practice is an interpretive shift away from ‘persecution’ in favour of something more akin to a definition of ‘discrimination’.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has made stopping the boats one of his top five priorities (Hollie Adams/PA)

“And a similar shift away from a ‘well-founded fear’ toward a ‘credible’ or ‘plausible fear’.

“The practical consequence of which has been to expand the number of those who may qualify for asylum, and to lower the threshold for doing so.”

She will continue: “Let me be clear, there are vast swathes of the world where it is extremely difficult to be gay, or to be a woman.

“Where individuals are being persecuted, it is right that we offer sanctuary.

“But we will not be able to sustain an asylum system if in effect, simply being gay, or a woman, and fearful of discrimination in your country of origin, is sufficient to qualify for protection.”

Ben Bradshaw, a gay Labour MP and former cabinet minister, took aim at Mrs Braverman over her comments, pointing out that being homosexual in some countries can have deadly risks.

Any LGBT or other Tories prepared to condemn Braverman for this? She doesn’t seem to grasp that simply being gay is enough to result in persecution or death in many countries https://t.co/WP2kk3D1a5 — Ben Bradshaw (@BenPBradshaw) September 26, 2023

He tweeted: “Any LGBT or other Tories prepared to condemn Braverman for this?

“She doesn’t seem to grasp that simply being gay is enough to result in persecution or death in many countries.”

Sonya Sceats, chief executive at Freedom from Torture, said: “LGBTQI+ people are tortured in many countries for who they are and who they love, and their pain is no less than other survivors we treat in our therapy rooms.

“They deserve precisely the same protection too.

“For a liberal democracy like Britain to try to weaken protection for this community is shameful.”

But Chris Philp, a minister in Mrs Braverman’s Home Office, appeared to double down on the comments, claiming some people falsely claim to be persecuted and “some people claim to be gay when they’re not”.

He told Times Radio: “When I was immigration minister, I came across a number of cases when people had claimed to be gay, produced photographs of them and a sort of same-sex partner and it turned out on further investigation it was a sibling, it wasn’t a same-sex partner at all.”

According to Home Office data, sexual orientation formed part of the basis for an asylum claim in 1% of all applications in 2021.

That was 77% fewer than in 2019, when sexual orientation made up 5% of all applications, and 7% in 2017.

The Government’s plans to deal with high levels of unauthorised migration are currently stalled.

The Illegal Migration Act — which has been criticised by the UN’s refugee agency — legislated for those arriving via the Channel to be deported to their country of origin, or to Rwanda after ministers struck a deal with the east African country.

But the Kigali plan is tied up in the courts, with a deportation flight yet to take off.

The Home Secretary has previously taken aim at the European Convention on Human Rights, signed in 1950, claiming it restricted the Government’s efforts to introduce policies such as the Rwanda scheme.

Labour has accused the Tories of looking to blame international treaties for its own failures to control immigration.",1

Jared O’Mara was found to have “abused his position” by trying to claim about £52,000 of taxpayers’ money for work that was never done and jobs that did not exist.

The 41-year-old, who represented the constituency of Sheffield Hallam from 2017 to 2019, went on trial for submitting fake invoices to the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (Ipsa) between June and August 2019.

Jared O’Mara was an MP from 2017 to 2019 (PA)

He was accused of making fraudulent expenses claims to fund an “extensive” cocaine habit, with Judge Tom Bayliss KC later saying at sentencing that it had been “cynical, deliberate and dishonest”.

O’Mara sought permission to appeal his sentence, but his renewed application was rejected by the Court of Appeal in London on Tuesday.

Lord Justice Holroyde, Mr Justice Jeremy Baker and Mrs Justice Lambert, came to their decision after receiving written arguments, with no lawyers appearing in court.

Reading out a ruling, Mrs Justice Lambert said the judges found the challenge raised “no arguable ground that the sentence was manifestly excessive”, adding that it was “wholly proportionate” to the offences committed.

She said judges had concluded “without hesitancy” that the appeal “is not meritorious,” she said.

Leeds Crown Court previously heard that O’Mara made four claims for a total of £19,400 from a “fictitious” organisation called Confident About Autism South Yorkshire.

A jury found he also submitted a false contract of employment for his friend John Woodliff, pretending he worked as a constituency support officer.

O’Mara, a former nightclub manager, was cleared of two fraud charges over invoices from another friend, Gareth Arnold, for media work that prosecutors claimed was never carried out.

Gareth Arnold was O’Mara’s chief of staff (PA)

But he was convicted of an offence of fraud after emailing Ipsa in February 2020, falsely claiming the police investigation into him had been completed and he was entitled to be paid the two invoices relating to Arnold, which totalled £4,650.

Prosecutors said the total value of the fraud was about £52,000, including Mr Woodliff’s proposed salary of £28,000.

Arnold, who became O’Mara’s chief of staff in June 2019, was sentenced to 15 months suspended for two years after a jury found him guilty of three fraud charges, but cleared him of a further three.

Mr Woodliff was cleared by the jury of having any role in the fraud.

Prosecutor James Bourne-Arton previously said the fraud was not a victimless crime and that it had an impact on other MPs “because it undermines public trust and confidence in them”.

Mark Kelly KC, defending O’Mara, said he wanted to apologise to his constituents for failing to resign in October 2017, when controversial comments he made online before becoming an MP were revealed, and that he had felt “hounded by the media”.

He told Leeds Crown Court that O’Mara was “an inadequate individual to cope with the stresses and strains of public life” and “resorted to taking drugs, alcohol and distancing himself in many respects from those that were around him”.

“These circumstances were very difficult circumstances for him to cope with, with his particular disabilities,” Mr Kelly added.

But Judge Bayliss said the apology was “entirely disingenuous”, while also finding that O’Mara’s autism did not reduce his culpability.

O’Mara won Sheffield Hallam for Labour from former Liberal Democrat leader Sir Nick Clegg in 2017, but later left the party after a series of controversies.

He stayed in office as an independent MP but did not contest the 2019 general election.",1

Ahead of upcoming elections, Google, TikTok, Microsoft and Meta also have more to do to tackle disinformation, much of it coming from Russia, which is using social media to wage a “war of ideas” against democracy, European Commission vice president Vera Jourova said.

Moscow’s disinformation operation “is a multimillion-euro weapon of mass manipulation aimed both internally at the Russians as well as at Europeans and the rest of the world”, she said at a press briefing in Brussels.

With elections scheduled in Slovakia and Poland in the coming weeks and a bloc-wide vote next year, big online platforms must address the risk of online meddling, she said.

The Kremlin and other malicious actors “will try to use the design features of the platforms to manipulate”, Jourova said.

She was providing an update on the 27-nation EU’s 2022 Code of Practice on Disinformation. Google, TikTok, Microsoft and Facebook and Instagram parent Meta signed up to the voluntary code last year, but Twitter dropped out after Musk bought the platform.

X is “the platform with the largest ratio of mis- or disinformation posts”, Ms Jourova said.

An email to the company’s press team seeking comment resulted in an automatically generated reply that said, “Busy now, please check back later.”

The European Commission, the EU’s executive arm, released a study of six online platforms in Poland, Slovakia and Spain that found Twitter had the highest prevalence of disinformation and biggest ratio of disinformation actors.

“Twitter has the highest discoverability” of disinformation, the report said.

Ms Jourova warned Mr Musk that “he is not off the hook” just because his company dropped out of the code.

X is ‘the platform with the largest ratio of mis- or disinformation posts’, according to the European Commission vice president (Noah Berger/AP/PA)

The code has been incorporated into a strict new set of mandatory European regulations known as the Digital Services Act, which subjects the biggest online platforms, including X, to the highest level of scrutiny.

“There are obligations given by the hard law, so my message for Twitter is: You have to comply with the hard law, and we will be watching what you are doing,” she said.

Under the code, online platforms agree to commit to measures aimed at reducing disinformation and have to file reports on a regular basis.

After submitting “baseline” reports, their first six-month reports outlining how they are living up to those promises were released on Tuesday.",1

Joint Director General Sanjay Manjul has been entrusted with the task and is set to arrive in Agra to conduct the investigation.

The unfortunate incident occurred when the French tourist, identified as Esma Ben Yelles, fell from a platform approximately five feet high. The ASI, responsible for the conservation and maintenance of protected monuments across India, swiftly took cognisance of the incident.

Raj Kumar Patel, the superintending archaeologist for the Agra circle of ASI, confirmed the initiation of the probe while adding, “The Joint Director General-level officer will lead the investigation, as directed by the ASI Director General’s office in Delhi. The findings of the probe committee will determine whether a safety audit of monuments in Agra is warranted.”

It may be recalled that a committee led by the district magistrate of Agra is already conducting its own investigation into the tragic accident.

Additional DM (protocol) Shairi and CMO Dr A.K. Srivastava visited the monument and interacted with ASI officials and private security personnel.

District Magistrate Bhanu Goswami had earlier formed a three-member committee to investigate the incident, consisting of ADM Protocol Shairi, CMO Agra Dr A.K. Srivastava, and the Assistant Commissioner of Police (Achhnera).

Goswami emphasised, “The additional district magistrate (protocol) will probe the incident, including allegations of delays in ambulance service. Those found negligent will face action.”

Eyewitnesses recounted the tragic accident, explaining that the victim had been leaning against a wooden railing that unexpectedly gave way. As a result, she plummeted from the five-foot-high platform, landing on the stone floor below.

Just after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky delivered an address in the House of Commons on Friday, Canadian lawmakers gave 98-year-old Yaroslav Hunka a standing ovation when Speaker Anthony Rota drew attention to him.

Mr Rota introduced Mr Hunka as a war hero who fought for the First Ukrainian Division.

It later was publicised that the First Ukrainian Division was also known as the Waffen-SS Galicia Division, or the SS 14th Waffen Division, a voluntary unit that was under the command of the Nazis.

“No-one in this House is above any of us. Therefore I must step down as your speaker,” Mr Rota said in Parliament. “I reiterate my profound regret for my error in recognising an individual in the House during the joint address to Parliament of President Zelensky.”

“That public recognition has caused pain to individuals and communities, including to the Jewish community in Canada and around the world in addition to Nazi survivors in Poland among other nations. I accept full responsibility for my actions,” he added.

Mr Rota stepped down after meeting with the House of Commons’ party leaders later on Tuesday.

All main opposition parties called for Mr Rota to step down, and government House leader Karina Gould said that lawmakers had lost confidence in him.

“This is something that has brought shame and embarrassment to all of Parliament and indeed all Canadians. The speaker did the honourable thing in resigning,” Ms Gould said.

Ms Gould said she is of Jewish origin and a descendent of a Holocaust survivor.

“This incident hurt me personally as it hurt all members of this House and all Canadians,” she said.

Ms Gould earlier said Mr Rota invited and recognised Mr Hunka without informing the government or the delegation from Ukraine.

Canadian Health Minister Mark Holland had called the incident “incredibly embarrassing.”

The Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Centre for Holocaust Studies said in a statement that the incident “has left a stain on our country’s venerable legislature with profound implications both in Canada and globally.”

“This incident has compromised all 338 Members of Parliament and has also handed a propaganda victory to Russia, distracting from what was a momentously significant display of unity between Canada and Ukraine. It has also caused great pain to Canada’s Jewish community, Holocaust survivors, veterans and other victims of the Nazi regime.”

In an earlier apology on Sunday, Mr Rota said he alone was responsible for inviting and recognising Mr Hunka, who is from the district that Mr Rota represents.

The speaker’s office said on Monday it was Mr Rota’s son who contacted Mr Hunka’s local office to see if it was possible if he could attend Mr Zelensky’s speech.

Members of Parliament from all parties rose to applaud Mr Hunka unaware of the details of who he was.

The prime minister’s office said it was unaware that Mr Hunka was invited until after the address. The speaker’s office also confirmed it did not share its invite list with any other party or group. The vetting process for visitors to the gallery is for physical security threats, not reputational threats, the speaker’s office said.

In Moscow, a Kremlin spokesman said it was “outrageous” that Mr Hunka received a standing ovation.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has painted his enemies in Ukraine as “neo-Nazis,” although Mr Zelensky is Jewish and lost relatives in the Holocaust.

“It’s highly unfortunate and the only winner here is the Putin regime, which is already spinning what happened on Friday to justify its ongoing military actions in Ukraine,” said Daniel Beland, a political science professor at McGill University in Montreal.

The opposition Conservatives in Canada have blamed PM Justin Trudeau, but Mr Beland noted that the speaker’s role in Canada is as an officer of Parliament who does not participate in partisan caucus meetings and is not a member of the Cabinet.",1

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — The Teamsters applaud the Federal Trade Commission and 17 state attorneys general today for suing Amazon.com, Inc. The lawsuit details how Amazon engages in abusive business practices to illegally maintain its powerful position in the market at the expense of workers and small businesses.

“The tide is turning in favor of working people,” said Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien. “With today’s lawsuit, the Federal Trade Commission and a bipartisan group of state attorneys general have said ‘enough is enough.’ As more Amazon workers stand up around the country and the Teamsters fight to hold Amazon accountable for its shameful treatment of working people, we are ready to assist antitrust enforcers in ending Amazon’s corrupt business practices.”

The Teamsters are leading the fight for dignity and fair pay in support of workers at Amazon. In April, 84 Amazon drivers in Palmdale, Calif., organized with the Teamsters, becoming the first union of Amazon drivers in the country. As members of Teamsters Local 396, they bargained a contract with Amazon’s Delivery Service Partner (DSP), Battle-Tested Strategies (BTS). Despite the absolute control it wields over BTS and workers’ terms and conditions of employment, Amazon refuses to recognize and honor the union contract. Instead, Amazon has engaged in dozens of unfair labor practices

in violation of federal labor law, including terminating the entire unit of newly organized workers.

Palmdale Teamsters are on an unfair labor practice strike, and have extended pickets nationwide.

“Amazon will be held accountable for its corporate crimes,” O’Brien said. “The International Brotherhood of Teamsters proudly supports all Amazon workers, and we stand with lawmakers and regulators who are brave enough to put working people before corporate power.”

A man who drove ""at speed"" into the gates of Downing Street in an incident described by a judge as an ""attack on democracy"" has avoided prison.

Seth Kneller ploughed his Kia Ceed into the gates protecting the prime minister's central London residence in May - causing the outer gates to swing open.

In a TikTok video posted earlier that day, the 43-year-old blamed politicians for society's ills and said ""someone has to pay"".

Kneller, from Crewe, Cheshire, was quickly detained by armed police. At the scene, he told them: ""I need help.""

He was suffering a ""mental health breakdown"" at the time of the crash, according to his barrister.

When Kneller's phone was later examined as part of the police investigation into the crash, officers found it contained incident images of children.

He pleaded guilty to a count of dangerous driving earlier this month and two of making indecent images of children at a hearing in June.

On Tuesday, at Southwark Crown Court, he was sentenced to 15 months in prison, suspended for two years.

In sentencing, Judge Christopher Hehir said Kneller had launched an ""attack on democracy"".

""You quite deliberately performed a highly dangerous manoeuvre,"" he said.

Image: Police at the scene after the crash

""There was a real risk of serious injury or death to police officers or innocent members of the public.

""You chose to launch a violent attack on a place which is a government location and in many ways a symbol of democracy.

""Your violent attack on it must be regarded by the courts as being of the utmost seriousness.""

On the incident images charge, Judge Hehir said: ""You are not guilty of any contact abuse of children, but if it was not for people like you who consume these images, the abuse in question would most likely not take place.""

The judge said the defendant's lack of previous convictions, early guilty pleas, the fact he has served the equivalent of an eight-month prison sentence, mental health and ""good prospect"" of rehabilitation persuaded him to spare the defendant jail.

Kneller must complete 30 rehabilitation days and 27 days of a separate rehabilitation programme as part of his sentence.

He was also banned from driving for 18 months, can no longer use the phone and car used in the offending.

The court heard how the incident took place on 25 May when Kneller smashed his car into the gates of Downing Street.

The car's impact caused the outer gates to swing open and the main gates to shake, Southwark Crown Court was told on Tuesday.

Officers with firearms shouted ""armed police"" and detained Kneller after his car came to a stop.

Kneller told officers he had attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and autism and asked: ""What is there to live for anymore?""

As he was being detained, he told them he had ""had enough"".

Image: A police recovery truck lifts the car from the scene

Prosecutor Alex Krikler said Kneller's actions were ""pre-planned and deliberate"", which ""clearly raised concerns"" the attack was a terrorist one.

He added: ""He was well aware that armed officers were on duty and that the consequences of his actions could have been catastrophic.""

In mitigation, his barrister Charles Hannaford said his client was suffering from a ""mental health breakdown"" at the time of the Downing Street crash.

He added: ""This is not an individual who has thought through the consequences of their actions and how they would affect another individual.""

When Kneller's phone was examined as part of the police investigation it was found to contain three category A indecent images of children, the most serious type, and five category C images.

The victims depicted were aged eight to 12.

Kneller was found to have accessed a website known to contain indecent images of children 393 times.

He was made the subject of a seven-year sexual harm prevention order as part of his sentence.

After being sentenced, Kneller told the judge: ""Thank you, I am very grateful, your honour.""",1

The Congress government failed to fulfil a total 316 promises the party and its former president Rahul Gandhi made on various occasions including during the last assembly polls, BJP national spokesperson Sambit Patra alleged while releasing the chargesheet at a press conference at the party headquarters here.

Mafia, criminals given free hand in Chhattisgarh: BJP



Raising the issue of law and order in the state, Patra alleged mafia and criminals have been given a free hand in the state. ""The Congress government has ignored more than 5,900 rape cases. This is the real face of the Congress in Chhattisgarh,"" he charged.



On the issue of corruption and the Congress' performance, Patra claimed Gandhi had promised ""100 percent ban'"" on the sale of liquor in Chhattisgarh but the state witnessed a ""liquor scam"" worth over Rs 2,000 crore under the Baghel government..



""The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and its leader Sanjay Singh had demanded that Bhupesh Baghel be arrested in connection with the scam,"" the BJP spokesperson said.



""Just think, the biggest mafia says they (Chharttisgarh government) have gone against them,"" he said, taking a swipe at the AAP in an apparent reference to alleged Delhi liquor policy scam.

Patra also alleged a Rs 600-crore scam in the PDS scheme under the Congress rule in Chhattisgarh. All the facts in this connection are there in a Comptroller and Auditor General report, he claimed.

He alleged corruption and nepotism in filling government vacancies, claiming that ""many of the Congress leaders' relatives"" got government job in Chhattisgarh.

The hearings began last week and the next is scheduled on October 13.

However, the postponement of the tour has sparked a controversy. Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA and former minister Aaditya Thackeray on Monday criticised Shinde's planned trip. He demanded transparency, insisting that the schedule of all engagements be made public before departure.

Secretariat construction,"Madras High Court calls for DVAC inquiry report on 2018 complaint over irregularities in T.N. Secretariat construction Justices D. Krishnakumar and P.B. Balaji ask Advocate General R. Shunmugasundaram to submit the inquiry report in a sealed cover on October 3 September 26, 2023 05:36 pm | Updated 06:12 pm IST - CHENNAI

The Madras High Court on Tuesday, September 26, directed the Tamil Nadu government to submit in a sealed cover the result of an inquiry conducted by Directorate of Vigilance and Anti Corruption (DVAC) into a complaint lodged by AIADMK former MP J. Jayavardhan in 2018 alleging various irregularities in the construction of a new Assembly-cum-Secretariat complex which is now being used as a multi super speciality hospital at Omandurar estate in Chennai.

A Division Bench of Justices D. Krishnakumar and P.B. Balaji asked Advocate General (A-G) R. Shunmugasundaram to ensure that the inquiry report was submitted in the court by October 3. The direction was issued during the hearing of two petitions filed by the former Member of Parliament to implead himself in a couple of writ appeals filed by the State government in 2019 against incumbent Chief Minister M.K. Stalin and Water Resources Minister Duraimurugan.

The appeals were filed during the AIADMK regime against a single judge’s December 13, 2018 order quashing a September 24, 2018 Government Order through which a DVAC inquiry was ordered regarding alleged irregularities into the construction of the Assembly-cum-Secretariat complex between 2008 and 2010 when Mr. Stalin and Mr. Duraimurugan had served as Deputy Chief Minister and Public Works Department Minister respectively.

However, on July 13, 2023 the Government Pleader submitted a letter to the Registrar (Judicial) of the High Court for withdrawing the writ appeals. Thereafter, on July 24, 2023, the former MP filed petitions wanting to implead himself as one of the parties in the two appeals. Alleging political motive behind the move of the former MP, the A-G urged the court to dismiss his plea since he could not have any say in the matter between the court and the State.

Justice Krishnakumar told the A-G that the Bench would have rejected the impleading petitions if the petitioner was a newcomer who had nothing to do with the case in the past. However, since he claimed to have already lodged a complaint in this regard with the DVAC in 2018 itself, the judges wanted to know the result of that complaint before taking a call on the present plea for getting impleaded as a party to the writ appeals.

Key factors behind the crash","NEW DELHI: Just when the Indian stock market was trying to recover from the Adani crisis, the failure of Silicon Valley Bank ( SVB ) and Signature Bank in the US came in as another crude shock.In the last three trading sessions, investors have turned poorer by about Rs 7.3 lakh crore and the Sensex has crashed 2,110 points as the SVB crisis is having a ripple effect on global equity markets.During the day, bank stocks were among those worst affected despite analysts and brokerages saying that Indian banks are well-placed in a tight regulatory framework. While the Sensex ended 897 points lower at 58,238, Nifty ended just above the 17,150 mark.Fear gauge index India VIX jumped 20% as all sectoral indices ended in the red. Small and midcaps were worst affected in the sell-off.Even as the US regulators jumped into action, the failure of SVB and Signature Bank spoiled market sentiments. ""In a globalised world, a positive or a negative financial event in any known corner of the globe has a ripple effect. There is nothing like ‘decoupled’ anymore, and India is no exception. Any larger contagion effect will impact our markets as well,"" said Dalal Street veteran Sunil Sanghai.Asian markets were following cues from Wall Street. Last week, the Dow Jones sank 4.4%, S&P 500 dropped 4.5% and the Nasdaq shed 4.7%. Japan's Nikkei ended 1.1% down while Australia's ASX 200 ended 0.5% lower. UK's FTSE 100 lost 2.4%, falling to an over two-month low.Following a global rout in shares of banks, Nifty Bank lost 2.3% today. IndusInd Bank was the biggest loser in the pack and ended over 7% lower. PSU bank stocks lost up to 5%.""The risk of contagion within the banking system looks limited, this is more of a company specific issue and could impact some of the start ups, VC and some limited banks and also in near term could create panic in investors and banking clients,"" Sharekhan said.Although the chances of a 50 basis point rate hike decreased in the wake of the SVB crisis, investors are eyeing the February consumer price index and the producer price index for February. If they come in hotter than expected, then simply expect bigger bets of 50 basis points and higher rate hikes, analysts said.Goldman Sachs economists said they no longer expect the Fed to deliver a rate increase next week. ""The risk of a banking crisis highlights the tension between Fed efforts to cool the economy and tame inflation with increasing concerns that 4.5 percentage points of rate hikes in the space of a year will trigger a recession and a collapse in riskier assets,"" said Deepak Jasani of HDFC Securities.On the weekly charts, Nifty has been consolidating for the past many weeks and prices are gradually shifting their base lower indicating a bearish to sideways momentum. During the day, the headline index formed a big bearish candle on the daily charts and continued with the formation of lower highs and lower lows on the hourly scale.

Dixit calls his approach a supply-side response to corruption in which the traditional bribe-givers initiate reform rather than wait for the government to act. Among the foremost economic theorists today, the 68-year-old Dixit was born in Mumbai and studied in St. Xavier’s College before moving to Cambridge and then to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he started researching economics. His contribution to game theory is considered to be on par with that of the likes of the polymath John von Neumann and the troubled genius John Nash . His work with Joseph Stiglitz forms the bedrock of new trade theory, and his research on institutions helped in the growth of the field of new institutional economics. Dixit is one of the two Indian economists whose names figure in the list of possible contenders for the Nobel Prize almost every year. The other is Jagdish Bhagwati . Dixit, who spoke in an interview on the sidelines of a lecture on corruption organized by the Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research, argued for a graft-free union formed by business houses, in which members pledge not to pay bribes, and snap ties with any firm which does so. Edited excerpts: Many expected economic reforms in India to greatly reduce the scope for corruption, but the actual record has belied such expectations. Some scholars argue that the reason behind this is that public officials continue to enjoy large discretionary powers since reforms in India have not been deep enough. Others argue that economic reforms in India actually underlined a pro-business rather than a pro-market shift, which allowed big businesses to gain disproportionately. What is your view? I think both of these things are going on; it is not an either-or case. Reforms ended up being pro-business rather than pro-market competition, not just in India but in many other countries. That will remain a problem. At the same time, even though the deep basis of the license raj may be gone in the reformed situation, businesses still have to obtain a large number of permissions and licences to start operating. That leaves lot of scope for corruption. Are the multiple layers of control and clearances the key problem? Multiple clearances are a problem, particularly when such clearances are complementary to each other. Such systems generate uncertainty. Suppose you need 16 clearances. You may obtain 15 permits but the sixteenth guy may come and say that nothing works unless you pay me off. Also, the interaction between different departments involved tends to have a damaging impact. A nice parallel is the example of two businesses selling complementary goods such as hardware and software. If the hardware seller raises his price too much, it will depress the overall demand for computers and reduce revenues for the software seller. Something similar occurs when different bureaucracies are involved in providing multiple clearances, and each may end up asking for higher bribes, which will tend to reduce the overall number of businesses and the bribe collected. A one-stop shop can remove such problems since the average bribe a business has to pay will be reduced, although the aggregate level of bribes paid will likely be higher because more firms will now be able to do business. To an extent, people are realizing the importance of this concept. I was told by businessmen here that on a pretty ad-hoc basis, Mr. (Narendra) Modi works on a similar model in Gujarat. Once he is convinced about the value of your business project, he will marshal all of his officials into one team that will deal with you. Maybe that team will still try to extract something from you, but that is better than having to deal with 16 departments separately. You need to institutionalize such systems. In your paper on corruption, you argue for businesses to launch a graft-free union, in which members refuse to pay bribes and snap ties with any firm which bribes. What are the incentives for large businesses, which can secure competitive advantages through bribing, to create, or even be a part of such unions? There are both incentives and disincentives for large firms. To the extent a large firm is large because it is more efficient, it will win contracts on merit. Corruption only harms it by raising the possibility of an inefficient firm bagging contracts, and a large business will then favour a clean system. To the extent that a large firm is large because it has been able to develop connections with government officials, it may have little incentive to launch such a union. But even among such firms, there will be some firms that used bribery to win contracts and become large but have developed efficiencies over time, and may now prefer a clean system. These are very tentative ideas, of course, but what might make such a system work is the presence of a large number of clean and big businesses which come together. Once that happens, even the corrupt firm will be forced to fall in line because not doing so will send the wrong signals. Traditional economic models tend to under-emphasize the role of institutions in economic growth and development. Do you see that changing now? I don’t even know if it was a battle in the profession, but if it was, that’s over. Just about everybody recognizes the importance of all kind of supporting institutions to ensure that market economies, or any economy for that matter, functions well. Also, there is broad agreement among those who write on institutions about what good institutions are, and what they are not. ""Exciting news!

S uella Braverman will use a speech in the US to declare that no migrant crossing the Channel to Britain is in “imminent peril”.

The Home Secretary is expected to say that “seeking asylum and seeking better economic prospects are not the same thing” as she takes aim at the United Nations’ Refugee Convention.

The Cabinet minister is tasked with helping to deliver the Prime Minister’s pledge of stopping the boats from crossing the Channel — one of five that Rishi Sunak hopes to deliver ahead of a likely election next year.

Mrs Braverman will tell a Washington DC audience on Tuesday that offering asylum to a person because they are gay, a woman or fearing discrimination in their home country is not sustainable.

Nobody entering the UK by boat from France is fleeing imminent peril

She will highlight that the UK and the US, among others, interpret the 1951 UN convention’s stipulation for refugees to “present themselves without delay to the authorities” as meaning that “people should seek refuge and claim asylum in the first safe country that they reach” — something she will argue is not always happening.

In a pre-briefed extract of her speech, Mrs Braverman will say: “The status quo, where people are able to travel through multiple safe countries, and even reside in safe countries for years, while they pick their preferred destination to claim asylum, is absurd and unsustainable.

“Nobody entering the UK by boat from France is fleeing imminent peril. None of them have ‘good cause’ for illegal entry.

“The vast majority have passed through multiple safe countries, and in some instances have resided in safe countries for several years.

“In this sense, there is an argument that they should cease to be treated as refugees when considering the legitimacy of their onward movement.”

The senior Conservative’s speech comes against the backdrop of almost 24,000 migrants arriving into the UK via small boat since January.

That figure, based on official Home Office data, is likely to rise after fresh arrivals were spotted on the south coast of England early on Tuesday.

The Government’s plans to deal with high levels of unauthorised migration are currently stalled.

The Illegal Migration Act legislated for those arriving via the Channel to be deported to their country of origin, or to Rwanda after ministers struck a deal with the east African country.

But the Kigali plan is tied up in the courts, with a deportation flight yet to take off.

The Home Secretary has previously taken aim at the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), signed in 1950, claiming it restricted the Government’s efforts to introduce policies such as the Rwanda scheme.

In her speech to the American Enterprise Institute, a centre-right think tank in Washington DC, she will set out a blueprint for international efforts to tackle the refugee crisis.

Ms Braverman is set to describe the UN convention as “an incredible achievement of its age” but will ask if it is “in need of reform” seven decades after being signed.

She will say research indicates that the accord “now confers the notional right to move to another country upon at least 780 million people”.

She will also argue that tests for how refugees are defined have changed, lowering the threshold for claiming asylum.

Ms Braverman will say: “Let me be clear, there are vast swathes of the world where it is extremely difficult to be gay, or to be a woman. Where individuals are being persecuted, it is right that we offer sanctuary.

“But we will not be able to sustain an asylum system if in effect simply being gay, or a woman, and fearful of discrimination in your country of origin is sufficient to qualify for protection.”

Labour accused the Conservatives of looking to blame the convention for its immigration failures.

Anneliese Dodds, the Labour Party chairwoman, told GB News: “International conventions are not the reason why the Conservative Government is failing in particular to take action against the international people-smuggling gangs.”

Highlighting that the Home Office is spending about £8 million per day on hotels for asylum seekers, Ms Dodds added: “I’m afraid the responsibility for all of this lies squarely with the Conservative Government.

“We’ve seen convictions for people smugglers go down considerably under the Conservatives, we’ve seen the rate of returns of people whose applications have failed also going down precipitously by 70%.”

Ben Bradshaw, a gay Labour MP and former cabinet minister, took aim at Mrs Braverman over her comments, pointing out that being homosexual in some countries can have deadly risks.

He tweeted: “Any LGBT or other Tories prepared to condemn Braverman for this?

“She doesn’t seem to grasp that simply being gay is enough to result in persecution or death in many countries.”

But Chris Philp, a minister in Mrs Braverman’s Home Office, appeared to double down on the comments, claiming some people falsely claim to be persecuted and “some people claim to be gay when they’re not”.

He told Times Radio: “When I was immigration minister, I came across a number of cases when people had claimed to be gay, produced photographs of them and a sort of same-sex partner and it turned out on further investigation it was a sibling, it wasn’t a same-sex partner at all.”",1

Chandrababu Naidu in the Skill Development Corporation scam  [...] Rajahmundry (Andhra Pradesh), Sep 24 (IANS) The Crime Investigation Department (CID) continued questioning former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu in the Skill Development Corporation scam case for the second consecutive day on Sunday.

The CID officials were questioning Naidu in Rajahmundry Central Prison where he is currently lodged.

A team of 12 CID officialsis trying to collect more information from Naidu about the alleged scam which took place when he was the chief minister.

Before the commencement of the questioning for the second day, Naidu was medically examined.

The questioning was on in the conference hall in the presence of Naidu’s lawyer D. Srinivas.

Vijayawada ACB Court had Friday granted the CID two-day custody of Naidu.

The CID has been allowed to question Naidu from 9.30 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the presence of Naidu’s lawyer with a lunch break for one hour. The court directed that photographs and videos of the questioning should not be released.

Naidu was questioned for about six hours on the first day. He was medically examined before and after the questioning.

The CID had sought the custody of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief for five days but the court allowed the custody only for two days.

The judge directed that after the end of the two-day custody, Naidu should be produced before the court through video-conference.

Andhra Pradesh High Court had Friday dismissed Naidu’s petition to quash the FIR registered against him and to set aside his judicial remand.

The ACB Court on Friday extended his judicial custody till September 24.

Naidu was arrested in the case by the CID in Nandyal on September 9. The next day, ACB Court in Vijayawada sent him to judicial custody for 14 days.

The case relates to the establishment of clusters of Centers of Excellence (CoEs) in Andhra Pradesh with a total estimated project value of Rs 3,300 crore when Naidu was the chief minister.

The CID claimed that the alleged fraud has caused a huge loss of Rs 371 crore to the state government. The agency claimed that an advance of Rs 371 crore, representing the entire 10 per cent commitment by the government for the project, was released before any expenditure by the private entities.

According to the CID, most of the money released by the government as advance was diverted to shell companies through fake invoices, with no actual delivery or sale of the items mentioned in the invoices, the CID officials said.

The CID mentioned in its remand report that the total amount spent by private entities on six skill development clusters was sourced exclusively from funds advanced by the state government and the Andhra Pradesh Skill Development Centre, totalling Rs 371 crore.

The seizure happened at Cachar district. As it resides at the boundary of both Assam-Manipur and Assam-Mizoram borders, there have been a lot of narcotic activities recently in this district.

Superintendent of Police in Cachar district, Numal Mahatta, said that acting on a specific tip-off, the police conducted an operation to foil a drug peddling attempt on Saturday. One person identified as Azad Uddin Barlaskar has been arrested by the police.

Mahatta said, “We have seized at least 18,000 Yaba tablets from a vehicle which was driven by Barlaskar. The international market value of seized drugs is around Rs. 2 crores.”

The arrested person has been interrogated by the police. Further investigation is underway.

Earlier this month, the police seized narcotic substances worth Rs 7 crore in Cachar district and arrested one woman on charges of drug peddling.

Mahatta said that the consignment of drugs was transported from Churachandpur district of Manipur.

“Based on secret information, a police team conducted a special operation against the transportation of narcotic substances at Labok Village, in the district. While police raided the house of a 38-year-old woman, Meena Kumari Sarma, drugs hidden in 100 soap boxes were recovered,” the officer mentioned.

A total of 1.30 kg of narcotic substances suspected to be heroin were seized by the police. Meena Kumari Sarma was also arrested.

Walking slowly with a cane, Mr Lee, a former presidential candidate who had been on a 24-day hunger strike, refused to answer questions from reporters as he arrived at Seoul Central District Court for a hearing on prosecutors’ request for an arrest warrant.

Hundreds of Mr Lee’s supporters and critics occupied streets near the court amid a heavy police presence, holding opposing signs reading “Stop the prosecution’s manipulated investigation” and “Arrest Lee Jae-myung”.

In an unexpected outcome last week, the opposition-controlled National Assembly voted to lift Mr Lee’s immunity to arrest, reflecting growing divisions within his liberal Democratic Party over his legal problems months ahead of a general election.

South Korea’s main opposition Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung arrives at the Seoul Central District Court in Seoul, South Korea (Ahn Young-joon/AP/PA)

The court is expected to decide by late Tuesday or early Wednesday on whether to approve an arrest warrant. Mr Lee has been recovering since ending a hunger strike on Saturday that he had staged in protest to conservative President Yoon Suk Yeol’s policies.

Mr Lee is being investigated over various criminal allegations, including accusations that he provided unlawful favours to a private investor that reaped huge profits from a dubious real estate project in the city of Seongnam, where he was mayor for a decade until 2018.

Prosecutors also believe that Mr Lee pressured a local businessman into sending millions of dollars in illegal payments to North Korea as he tried to set up a visit to that country that never materialised.

Mr Lee has denied legal wrongdoing and accused the Yoon government of pushing a political vendetta. The Democratic Party selected Mr Lee as its chairperson in August last year, months after he narrowly lost the presidential election to Yoon.

Ahead of last week’s parliamentary vote, Mr Lee pleaded with politicians to vote against the motion submitted by the government to remove his immunity, saying his arrest would “attach wings to prosecutors’ manipulated investigation”.

Mr Lee had previously said he was willing to give up his immunity because he was confident about proving his innocence.

Ahead of Thursday’s vote, some reformist members of the Democratic Party called for Mr Lee to stay true to his words and endorse the motion seeking his own arrest.

They said that would rally public support for the party, which has been sliding since Mr Lee’s presidential election loss, and silence suspicions that he conducted the hunger strike to avoid arrest.

Mr Lee said the hunger strike was to protest against a worsening economy and a broad range of Mr Yoon’s foreign policy decisions, including the government’s refusal to oppose Japan’s release of treated wastewater from the damaged Fukushima nuclear power plant into the sea.

Mr Lee has also accused Mr Yoon of raising tensions with North Korea by expanding military training and security cooperation with the US and Japan.

Under the law, courts cannot hold hearings on requests for arrest warrants for politicians during National Assembly sessions unless the assembly allows them to do so by a vote. The Democratic Party blocked a previous attempt by prosecutors to arrest Mr Lee in February.",1

In her first few weeks in office, she played a pivotal role in getting an election recount and an apology from Attorney General Margery Bronster for speculating that election problems in Waianae stemmed from residents there not being highly educated. Anderson and others describe Hanabusa as intelligent, well-organized and politically courageous. The downside, others say, is a brashness that could lead to making more enemies than she might want. ""She's got that quality about her - that she knows what she wants to accomplish and that she can lead,"" says Senate Minority Leader Whitney Anderson (R, Kailua). That sort of assertiveness - which at an early age was a source of parental pride and exasperation - has stayed with Hanabusa. She, more than anyone else in the Legislature's 13-member freshman class of 1998, which includes six senators and seven representatives, has caught the attention of her colleagues and veteran legislative observers. The Waianae Democrat has the most potential to emerge as a future leader, perhaps even beyond the Legislature, they say. ""You're right. We're sorry,"" one of the officers told young Hanabusa, who later explained to her mother that she had learned about that particular police regulation while in school. ""Mr. Policemen, you're not supposed to be doing that! You're supposed to be one behind the other, not side by side,"" June Hanabusa remembers her daughter shouting. One day she was sitting on the front seat of the family Chrysler, between her mother, who was driving, and her maternal grandmother. As they neared Pearl Harbor, Hanabusa, now 47, saw two motorcycle officers traveling side by side. Immediately, young Hanabusa ordered her elders to roll down the window closest to the officers. Some 40 years ago when state Sen. Colleen Hanabusa was about 7 years old and growing up in Waianae, she was already speaking her mind. Lobbyist Linda Rosehill says Hanabusa's age and work as an isle labor attorney and adviser to former City Council Chairman Arnold Morgado's unsuccessful 1994 mayoral campaign give her an edge in the Legislature that would be lacking in a twentysomething lawmaker. ""She's not going to sit back, watch and follow,"" Rosehill adds. Won't back down For Hanabusa, a personal epiphany occurred when she was was about 8 years old. She believed it was wonderful when Waianae got raised asphalt sidewalks. ""I thought it was so neat because you didn't walk on the dirt and it was higher when the rain came,"" she says. Then one day, when her parents had brought her into Honolulu to play with her cousins, it struck her that their sidewalks were smooth, unlike the bumpy ones in Waianae. She knew that made a big difference when you were roller-skating. ""That disparity has always stuck in my mind,"" Hanabusa says. One of the reasons she ran for the Senate - and ultimately unseated veteran lawmaker James Aki - was because she believes the Waianae Coast was being neglected and needed better representation. Country girl She never played with dolls. She was 11, Hanabusa recalls, when she got her first doll. It was a Barbie, which was then being introduced. ""My parents thought I should have a Barbie,"" she explained. From kindergarten to seventh grade, Hanabusa attended Waianae public schools. Then she began attending the all-girls St. Andrew's Priory, from which she graduated in 1969 after serving as Student Council president her senior year. Her classmates, judging from their handwritten comments in Hanabusa's senior yearbook, saw her as an outspoken student leader. At the Priory, Hanabusa was also a member of the National Honor Society. ""I was as country as you can get, coming into a town school where a lot of my classmates were townies. That, to me, epitomizes what I've always had to do throughout my life. A country girl thrust into a different situation. 'OK, we're here. Let's make the best of it.' That's what it has been all about,"" Hanabusa says. Asked to name a hero or someone she admires, Hanabusa doesn't cite national or international figures. Instead, she names people who had an impact on her or from whom she's learned something directly: James Cowen, president and general manager of Oahu Transit Services, the private, nonprofit company that runs TheBus, which is considered to be one of the nation's best transit operations. In Hanabusa's eyes, Cowen is the embodiment of a good manager and leader. Charlene Kubo, who preceded Hanabusa as the Priory's Student Council president. ""The one thing I learned from her was that you can still be different and still achieve what you want to achieve. But you have to maintain your independence and what you are and still be able to play the game, to play by the various rules that you're required to do so, and yet try to redefine and make your own game in the end,"" Hanabusa says. Hanabusa laughs when told that a Capitol observer, using the local term for a tough woman, described her as a tita with brains. ""I'll take it as a compliment as long as they take me seriously and they're taking what I'm doing seriously. And as long as they realize that it is not going to be an easy battle if we're going to fight,"" she says, chuckling. St. Andrew's Priory Class of 1969 State Sen. Colleen Hanabusa Age: 47.

Economy senator’s primary concern By Mike Yuen Star-Bulletin When this year's legislative session concludes, lawmakers will be judged primarily on what they've done to spur the revitalization of the isle economy, says Sen.

She says her constituents would be hurt by an excise tax increase, but they would be helped if grocery-bought food were exempted from the tax, as also suggested by Nakata and Taniguchi. ""For something like that to work, you need to see what the trade-offs will be, what the sacrifices will be,"" Hanabusa adds. Hanabusa, a labor attorney, says she is in favor of the Legislature funding retroactive pay raises for state workers. The state created ""an obligation"" with its bargaining units that gave up its right to strike and agreed to binding arbitration, she says. All of the units with the Hawaii Government Employees Association and some with the United Public Workers, along with police officers and firefighters, have given up the right to strike, in favor of binding arbitration. Only the Hawaii State Teachers Association, the University of Hawaii Professional Assembly, or faculty union, and UPW's janitors and refuse workers have retained the right to strike.",1

While one of the objectives of demonetisation was to curb fake currency, the police now say that the inflow of “high quality” fake Rs 2,000 notes has picked up again. The new currency notes that were brought in last year after demonetisation had tighter security features.(Sonu Mehta/HT FILE) The fake notes caught this week were “very similar in appearance and texture” to the genuine ones, the police said contradicting the claims that the new currency notes were hard to replicate. HT found out how close the new counterfeits are to the real notes: Paper Quality: Fine quality paper has been used to print the counterfeit currency. A senior Special Cell Officer said that the paper quality of the currency is the same as ones used by printing machines across the border for old notes before demonetisation. Texture: The texture of the printed counterfeits is almost identical to the original note thus making it very difficult for people to realise that those are fake Features: Be it the dimension or shape of printed images and symbols on a note, the smuggled Rs 2,000 notes seized by Delhi Police in recent times are a lot similar to the real notes. The images issued by the police show how the duplicate bank note has a portrait of Mahatma Gandhi, the Ashoka Pillar emblem, and the signature of the RBI Governor as well as the denomination in Devnagri. The officer more revelations will be made said after forensic examination. Read: Here’s your guide on how to spot a fake Rs 2000 note Serial Numbers: Each real note has a unique serial number. This is one feature that the counterfeit manufacturers have not been able to completely replicate. In the latest seizure of 330 notes with face value of Rs 6.6 lakh, only 80 had different serial numbers while 250 had the same. Latent Image: When tilted at 45 degrees, a Rs 2,000 note shows the denomination value in numerics printed on a bar. This feature has not been replicated at all, said DCP Special Cell PS Kushwah.",1

The report (pdf), published August 1 by the research and advocacy organization Fair Share Education Fund, outlines the basic process of laundering money using anonymous companies and cites several cases in which Latin American crime groups have used these entities to hide dirty cash from authorities. Money laundering occurs in three stages, the report explains. In the first stage, known as ""placement,"" ill-gotten gains are generally converted from cash to a form that is easier to transfer, like an electronic bank deposit, a check or a pre-paid stored value card. Next, money launderers ""layer"" the funds to make their origin harder to trace. This often involves routing the money through many different shell companies in numerous transactions. Once the money is ""clean"" enough, the launderers move to the ""integration"" stage, where the funds can be used for legal and illegal purposes. (See Fair Share's infographic to the right) Shell companies can be used for legitimate purposes. But as the Fair Share report points out, anonymous shell companies play a crucial role in the money laundering process. A county sheriff from Iowa cited in the document described these entities as ""financial getaway cars -- companies set up to move ill-gotten money without leaving anyone to be held accountable."" The use of anonymous shell companies made headlines earlier this year when the leaked ""Panama Papers"" exposed how a Panamanian law firm helped powerful elites and alleged criminals set up anonymous corporations in tax havens like Panama and the British Virgin Islands in order to help the firm's clients hide their wealth. However, as the Fair Share report notes, a large number of anonymous companies are also established in the United States, where no state currently requires people establishing companies to disclose the corporation's ""beneficial owner"" -- that is, the ""living person or persons that own, control and ultimately 'benefit' from the company's existence."" An investigation published earlier this year by the McClatchy news service likened certain US states to the Cayman Islands -- a well-known money laundering center -- and reported that a Nevada-based shell company had been used to hide money embezzled as part of the huge corruption scheme involving Brazil's state oil company Petrobras. Perhaps the most infamous instance of a Latin American criminal organization using a US-based shell company to launder dirty money is the Zetas' use of such companies to purchase race horses, an investment that helped the group launder millions of dollars in drug proceeds. Mexican criminal organizations have laundered billions of dollars through the US financial system in recent years. In several cases, drug trafficking groups took advantage of lax monitoring by large US financial institutions like HSBC and Wachovia, a bank acquired by Wells Fargo in 2008. Both of those companies paid huge fines for their role in the laundering. Recently, some banks have started closing branches near the US-Mexico border in order to prevent criminals from using their services. Citing US government estimates, the Fair Share report states that ""it is likely that 98.5% of the proceeds derived from drug trafficking"" -- more than $60 billion per year -- ""remain in the hands of traffickers"" thanks to money laundering schemes. InSight Crime Analysis The conclusion of the Fair Share report is simple: it ""recommends that [US] federal law makers end the use of anonymous shell companies by mandating the collection of true beneficial ownership information from all companies."" Collecting beneficial ownership information and making it readily accessible to law enforcement will help investigators trace illicit proceeds back to the people involved in criminal activities, the report argues. The US Treasury Department's Acting Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Adam Szubin argued in favor of this reform in an op-ed published last month in The Hill. ""Criminals have learned that American companies have an easier time obtaining bank accounts, and so they incorporate here in large numbers. The result is that our financial investigators often come across US shell companies in their money hunts -- and that may be where the trail ends,"" he wrote. But, Szubin argued, ""It does not need to be this way. Congress could close this loophole by passing a simple, two-page law requiring the beneficial owner of a company to be identified whenever a US company is formed."" SEE ALSO: Coverage of Money Laundering In the absence of legislation mandating the disclosure of beneficial ownership information for all companies, the Treasury Department has instituted temporary, targeted regulations requiring the collection of such information from companies in sectors prone to money laundering, such as the high-value real estate market. A number of experts have said that the ease with which criminals can launder their money using anonymous US shell companies damages the credibility of US efforts to push other countries to improve their anti-money laundering practices. In congressional testimony (pdf) given in 2009, then-District Attorney for New York county Robert Morgenthau said, ""Simply put, we lag behind many other countries in the world in this regard, and it makes our statements concerning transparency and tax evasion ring hollow and hypocritical.""",1

The FIR was based on a complaint by the 22-year-old woman who also accused the sub-inspector (SI) of molesting her.

Rewari, Sep 26 (PTI) Three police personnel, including a sub-inspector, were booked for allegedly beating up a man and a woman in a police station, officials said on Tuesday.

On the basis of the report submitted by the ASP, a case has been registered against Sub-inspector Lekhram, woman Head Constable Premlata and Special Police Officer (SPO) Surat Singh under sections 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty), 342 (wrongful confinement), 323 (causing hurt), 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code at the Dharuhera police station, they said.

A general view shows Swiss drugmaker Roche's headquarters, the Basler Muenster cathedral and the Rhine River in Basel, Switzerland.(Reuters) The Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan (DRAP) said the health authorities in Punjab, the most populous province, had launched the investigation into local use of the drug Avastin, which is licensed for use in Pakistan. ""Incidents of loss of vision in diabetic patients have been reported following treatment with Altered/Dispensed/Diluted Avastin injection,"" the regulator said in a statement. Javed Akram, the province's Minister for Specialised Health, said police were questioning two men they believe to be the drug's distributors in the state. ""A high level committee has been constituted to probe the issue. A case has been registered against the distributor and his aide,"" Akram said. Following the incidents, the DRAP instructed the importer to recall the suspected batches of Avastin 100mg injection, which it said had been created illegally. ""The sale/distribution of registered Avastin injection has been put on halt till verification of its quality through sampling and laboratory testing to safeguard public health,"" it said in a statement on its website. On its website, Roche said Avastin was approved in more than 130 countries, including the United States, to treat several types of cancer. ""Roche strongly condemns this criminal act of counterfeiting and is doing everything in its power to cooperate with the authorities to protect patients from counterfeits,"" said Roche in a statement to Reuters. ""In Pakistan, the vision loss from Avastin has been identified by the authorities as a case of contamination by a third party supplier,"" it added. The regulator said in its statement that in the cases concerned Avastin had been used off-label, meaning outside its approved use, to treat diabetes-related eye conditions. Cancer drug Avastin, when used at much lower doses, is similar to eye drug Lucentis and is used in many countries as a low-cost option to treat certain blindness-causing conditions. In its statement, Roche said: ""Avastin is not approved for any use in the eye. Counterfeit medicines pose a health risk to patients because their content may be ineffective and contain harmful ingredients."" Alam Sher, Punjab's deputy drug controller who filed the police complaint against the distributors, told Reuters that some companies buy Avastin and repackage it in smaller doses to make it more affordable for patients. A sharp drop in the value of the local currency against the U.S. dollar has inflated the price of drugs in Pakistan, many of which are either imported or based on imported ingredients. Record high inflation has also diminished the purchasing power of many people. Subscribe today by clicking the link and stay updated with the latest news!"" Exciting news!

Financial influencers, or ‘finfluencers’ in market parlance, had been under the scanner for a while. Government officials and regulatory bodies—across the globe—had thought long and hard on ways to regulate the actions of these individuals as some of them had assumed cult status with millions of followers on social media platforms. Besides, the regulators had to act fast to ensure that unsuspecting investors would not end up losing money because of biased or unfair advice or recommendations. Finally, capital markets regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi), on May 25 sent a strong signal to finfluencers. It barred P.R. Sundar, a finfluencer with over a million followers on YouTube, from the securities markets for a year for allegedly providing advisory services—daily stock investment/trading calls—without registering with the regulator. He was also directed to disgorge the fees that he had taken—along with interest—that amounted to Rs 6.08 crore. Simply put, a finfluencer is a person who influences the financial investment decisions of his/her followers by doling out advice or recommendations. Such advice could be for stock investment, financial planning, or just about anything related to the manner in which one should invest his or her money. Cult Status The Sebi order assumes a great deal of significance as the past few years—starting from 2020—have seen finfluencers attain cult status with some of the most popular ones boasting of followers in the millions. Take for instance Pranjal Kamra, who has 5.22 million followers on YouTube. Similarly, Pune-based Rachana Ranade, a chartered accountant by training, has 4.41 million followers. Mukul Malik, Parimal Ade, Ankur Warikoo, Sunil Minglani, Praveen Dilliwala and Nitin Bhatia, among others, also feature among the top finfluencers on YouTube, even though some of them have veered towards providing broader life lessons and motivational videos as well, rather than restricting themselves to dishing out investment advice. Interestingly, the number of followers of some of the well-known finfluencers even dwarfs the numbers of followers of some of the biggest broking houses on platforms like YouTube and Instagram. In this backdrop, the Sebi order is expected to send a strong signal to finfluencers, many of whom spotted an opportunity to cash in on the millions of new investors that have flooded the equity market in the past few years. “Many financial influencers are operating in a grey area and Sebi should bring in checks and balances,” says Malik, who features among the top finfluencers in the country, with a following of 3.64 million on YouTube through his popular channel called ‘Asset Yogi’. “The past couple of years have seen many influencers popping up and making videos along with brand deals, etc. The problem is that such instances (Sebi barring Sundar from the securities markets) give the whole community a bad name. I believe it will lead to many finfluencers taking Sebi registration, which, in turn, will only add to their own credibility,” says Malik, who is registered as a Research Analyst with Sebi. Incidentally, Sebi Chairperson Madhabi Puri Buch had recently highlighted the fact that regulators across the globe are considering ways of creating a regulatory framework for finfluencers. “This is a problem that every regulator across the globe is facing. When we met at IOSCO (International Organization of Securities Commissions), it was a very hot subject. I think we are all trying to find the right approach,” Buch had said last December. Tread with Caution More recently—on May 30—she sent a cryptic warning to finfluencers when she said, “there is something cooking in the oven”, when asked about the way Sebi is trying to rein in unregistered investment advisors. The gravity of the situation can be gauged from the fact that even the Union finance minister recently advised caution when considering the recommendations of the vast majority of influencers, who may be motivated by other considerations. “Social influencers and financial influencers are all out there, but a strong sense of caution is required in each one of us to make sure we double check, counter check, don’t go as a flock into something...,” Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had said in April. Meanwhile, the important takeaway from the latest development, especially from an investor’s perspective, is that one should do a basic background check and ensure that the advisor has all the requisite regulatory approvals—an easy task actually, since Sebi’s website lists all registered intermediaries. @ashishrukhaiyar",1

The advertisement in question has angered many from the financial advisory space, especially the registered investment advisors. The bigger problem with the advertisement is that it features logos of MeITY and India G20 seemingly showcasing an endorsement from the government. This goes against the Securities and Exchange Board of India’s strict norms against financial influencers doling out investment advice. However, minister of Information and Technology, Rajeev Chandrashekhar has said that the MeITY logo on the advertisement doesn’t mean endorsement from the government. Rajeev Chandrasekhar — in response to a tweet by journalist Sucheta Dalal — issued a clarification on the ad published on multiple dailies, stating that he has now advised such campaigns to be more careful when they use the government logos. Just to be very clear - this is not an endorsement of any person or any social media platform. @suchetadalal @GoI_MeitY encourages all digital platforms to create awareness of Safe&Trust And Accountable #Internet and is supportive of all genuine campaigns/advocacy for this but… https://t.co/WqfcGPLeXu — Rajeev Chandrasekhar 🇮🇳 (@Rajeev_GoI) June 26, 2023 Registered investment advisors on the their hand have displayed major disappointment with the advertisement while they deal with increased compliance burdens. Members of the Association of Registered Investment Advisors, told CNBCTV-18 that the advertisement is totally anti the SEBI stand against unregistered investment advisors. “The endorsement gives an impression that finfluencers like CA Rachna are the real experts. Merely tweeting that is not, cannot absolve the government or YouTube of responsibility. On one hand Registered Investment Advisors, who are qualified to give advise, struggle to survive under the burden of draconian SEBI regulations that restrict almost every aspect of their practice. On the other Finfluencers , with absolutely zero responsibility towards their audiences are having a merry laugh to the bank. Guess who is suffering the most- the common man who cannot find quality advise at a reasonable price and is now being advised by the government to trust unregistered finfluencers like CA Rachna on a full-page advertisement in a leading daily! This is a huge embarrassment to SEBI. MEIT and SEBI should publish a full page apology to the Public for misinformation and submit that it is a mistake . Nothing less can undo the damage,” said an RIA on conditions of anonymity. However, netizens have not taken the ad nicely. Many twitter users tweeted against it. Here are some examples. The finfluencer community has been facing backlash after famous YouTuber PR Sundar was barred by Sebi from the securities market for a year. This was because Sundar indulged in unregistered investment advisory through social media groups. There has been a lot of push for regulating financial influencers and recently, Sebi Chief, Madhbi Puri Buch has hinted that such a move can be in the pipeline. “The concept of Finfluencers is deeply troubling. While many of them get away by calling themselves 'educationists', a large number freely provide investment advice right in the teeth of SEBI regulations which permit advice only with a license from SEBI. While the regulator has indeed been pursuing many of the finfluencers with penalty orders, the recent seeming endorsement by the government is at odds with cracking down on what is clearly impermissible,” said Sandeep Parekh, former member of SEBI. CNBC TV-18 has reached out to Youtube and Google for a comment on the story.",1

Now the man who confessed to shooting his wife in the back of the head and tossing her body in a river is opening up about that fateful night for a new documentary “Honestly, there are days I hate myself,” said Thomas Pate. Pate claims that he killed 26-year-old Micah Pate accidentally, but Ginger Blackstone, who is producing the documentary “Missing Micah,” shared evidence that suggests a possible motive. “On the night that she disappeared, there were several texts and phone calls to another woman in New York that was on Thomas’ phone,” Blackstone said. In a jailhouse interview with the filmmaker, Pate admitted to his lies and regrets. Thomas Pate original claimed his wife, Micah (r.), went out for a walk on April 30, 2009 and never returned. It was later found he shot her in the back of her head and dumped her in a river in Tennessee. “There’s parts to that night, dad gummit, I told, I told myself I wouldn’t do that,” Patt said from prison, where he is serving a 25-year sentence with no parole. He escaped life in prison by pleading guilty in 2009 for a reduced charge of second-degree murder. He also pleaded guilty to false reporting, according to Memphis newspaper The Commercial Appeal. Pate initially told police that Micah left for a walk and never returned on April 30, 2009. The following evening he finally admitted to killing her after extensive police questioning. He also confessed to spending time with another woman. Portions of the documentary, which is scheduled for an April release, will appear Thursday at 10 p.m. on Memphis-based Action 5 News. Pate is opening up about killing his wife almost four years after she was murdered and her body dumped in a river. But no amount of new information from the killer could possibly soothe the pain felt by Micha’s father Dennis Rine, who routinely visits his daughter’s final resting place in Searcy, Ark. “I come here every day that I’m in town just to say hi,” Rine said. mwalsh@nydailynews.com On a mobile device?

Even as the Central government assured the Bombay High Court that amended Information Technology (IT) Rules against fake content on social media against government were not to curb free speech, opinions or criticism but were against fake and false facts, the HC remarked that the Rules without guidelines and guardrails give unfettered power to a government authority.

A division bench of Justices Gautam Patel and Neela Gokhale remarked that the Rules amount to “funnelling of power” to determine what is true to a government authority and asked how can it be said that the “government’s truth” was the “final truth”. It also questioned who will fact check the fact checking unit.

The HC is hearing a batch of petitions challenging the amended IT rules, including a provision for an FCU to flag fake or false or misleading online content related to the business of the government. The petitions filed by stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra, the Editors Guild of India and the Association of Indian Magazines have sought directions against the framing of the rules calling them “arbitrary, unconstitutional”.

During the hearing on Tuesday, the HC asked Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Union of India, what necessitated the amended and for a Fact Checking Unit (FCU) when the Press Information Bureau (PIB) of the government was already doing its own fact checking on social media platforms.

“I think this amendment wants to do something more,” Justice Patel said.

Mehta explained that the PIB was “teethless” and said he would argue further on this point on Wednesday.

“Govt learns from criticism”

He emphasised that the object behind the Rules was not to curb free speech, opinion, criticism or satire against the government or the Prime Minister himself but to create a balancing mechanism to tackle with a medium that was uncontrollable and uncontrolled.

“The government is not trying to proscribe and prohibit any expression of opinion, criticism, or comparative analysis…in fact we welcome them, encourage them and learn from them,” Mehta said.

Any humour or satire whether it was in the liking of the government or political party has nothing to do with the Rules as far as they do not cross the line of what is considered as obscene or vulgar in the Indian parlance, he said. “The government is not going after free speech, opinions, humour, or satire. That is not in the realm of the IT Rules. The Rules only put in place a system. A balancing mechanism is provided,” Mehta stressed.

However, the judges said that the Rules are “over broad” and without any guidelines.

“The government is the sole arbiter without any checks and balances on what is the truth. Basically, who will fact check the fact checker? We will have to trust the Fact Checking Unit (to be set up under the Rules) as the final arbiter,” Justice Patel said.

Mehta emphasised that the FCU would be only checking fake and false facts and not opinion or criticism.

How can it be said that govt’s truth was the final truth, asks Court

To this, the court asked how can it be said that the government’s truth was the final truth. Also, the term government business as said in the Rules was largely undefined.

However, Mehta said that the business of government was a well demarcated term. “What the executive does is the business of government, What the Prime Minister says or does is not the business of government…he can be criticised,” Mehta added.

The bench expressed that there must be some guidelines in place for the Rules. “Without guidelines and guardrails this is an unfettered power. The funnelling of power to determine what is true to a government authority…” Justice Patel underscored.

The court pointed out that while the government was saying that the Rules apply only to fake and false facts, the Rules on the face of it says information and not facts. “The Rules says any information that would include data, text, image or sound that is fake, false and misleading. The definition of information is not limited to facts. It is expansive to include opinions and criticism. The Rules do not say facts. Data or information can be everything…data is opinion…data is parody also. Therefore, it is not limited to facts,” justice Patel underlined.

Mehta said India and the whole world was grappling with a problem of a medium that was “uncontrolled and uncontrollable” where false, fake and misleading facts are peddled around at the click of a button.

The bench will continue hearing the matter on Wednesday.

Barwani (Madhya Pradesh): An official from the panchayat department was caught allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 5 lakh from a village official after threatening to register a case against him in Madhya Pradesh's Barwani district on Tuesday, an official said.

A team of Lokayukta's special police establishment (SPE) caught Ravikant Uikey, the chief executive officer of Sendhwa Janpad Panchayat, while accepting the bribe amount at his office, the SPE's deputy superintendent of police (DSP) Praveen Baghel said.

Sunil Brahmane, the panchayat secretary of Lavani village, had alleged that Uikey had demanded Rs 5 lakh from him after threatening to register a case accusing him of bungling up the construction of a boundary wall under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), he said.

Case registered under Corruption Act

Accordingly, the SPE laid a trap and Uikey was caught when he sent Brahmane and his subordinate clerk to keep the money in a car, he said.

A case under the Prevention of Corruption Act has been registered against Uikey and further probe was underway, the official added.

Noting that important questions of law were raised by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi while seeking to quash a defamation complaint filed against him by a BJP leader, the Bombay High Court on Tuesday requested Advocate General of Maharashtra to appear in the matter.

Justice Sarang Kotwal observed: “Considering these submissions, it is quite clear that the matter involves important questions of law, including special procedure provided U/s.199 of the Cr.p.c. Therefore, I deem it necessary to request the learned Advocate General of Maharashtra to address the Court on all the legal issues involved in this case.”

The HC was hearing a plea by Gandhi seeking quashing of a defamation complaint filed by one Mahesh Shrishrimal, claiming to be a BJP party worker. The complaint was filed before a magistrate court for the Congress leader’s “commander-in-thief” remark against Prime Minister Modi in 2018 over the Rafale fighter jet deal.

Legal bar on the complainant to file the complaint: Rahul's counsel

Gandhi’s counsel Sudeep Pasbola referred to Section 199 (Prosecution for defamation) of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) and submitted that there was a legal bar on the complainant to file the complaint. He submitted that section 199(2) prescribes special procedure in respect of the alleged defamation of the authorities.

Pasbola further referred to Section 499 of the Indian Penal Code which deals with defamation and about collection of persons. Pasbola contended that the political party is not an identifiable group of persons and, therefore, the complainant could not have filed the complaint in his “representative capacity”.

Further, the case amounted to infringement of Article 19 (freedom of speech and expression) of the Constitution of India, Pasbola added.

However, Niteen Pradhan, counsel for Shrishrimal, submitted that the complainant who is a member of ‘BJP Maharashtra Pradesh Committee’ is an aggrieved person. Therefore, in that capacity he was entitled to file the complaint.

HC continues interim protection granted to Rahul

The judge noted that important legal issues were involved and asked AG to appear and kept the plea for hearing on October 17. Meanwhile, the HC continued the interim protection granted to Gandhi.

Shrishrimal alleged that in September 2018, Gandhi conducted a rally in Rajasthan where he made defamatory statements against Modi. Due to the said defamatory statement, Modi was allegedly trolled on media by various news channels and social media platforms.

Based on his complaint, a magistrate initiated criminal proceedings against Gandhi, who challenged it before the HC.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday decided to examine whether use of vulgar language in a YouTube web series called College Romance amounts to a “sexually explicit act” under Section 67A of the Information Technology Act.

A Bench of Justices A.S. Bopanna and M.M. Sundresh agreed to look into whether the word “act” encompassed “spoken language” too.

A person found guilty under Section 67A (publishing or transmitting of material containing sexually explicit act) for the first time faces imprisonment up to five years and fine extending to ₹10 lakh. A repeat offender gets seven years in jail and a fine of ₹10 lakh.

The Delhi High Court, in a judgment in March, found that the language used in the web series, which was streamed on an over-the-top (OTT) platform, was profane and vulgar with a corruptible influence on young minds.

The High Court was so shocked that it resurrected Section 67 (publishing or transmitting obscene material in electronic form) of the Information Technology Act against the people behind the web series though the Sessions Court had earlier dropped the charge.

Senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi, appearing for the web series makers who have appealed the High Court verdict, said this was not a case of obscenity.

“A case of vulgar language is not a case of obscenity. The two are different. The series portrayed youngsters speaking in a rough language,” Mr. Rohatgi submitted.

On the charge of Section 67A, Mr. Rohatgi said there was no depiction of a sexually explicit physical act on screen. The offence under Section 67A is not made out, he argued.

Justice Sundresh expressed his doubts about Mr. Rohatgi’s reasoning on Section 67A. “Your interpretation is technical. You are claiming that a sexually explicit act is restricted to a physical act. The High Court has held that even words spoken would fall within the ambit of a ‘sexually explicit act’ under Section 67A,” Justice Sundresh told the senior lawyer.

The High Court had held that profanities cannot be presented to the general public or portrayed to the world as if this was the language of our nation and young people in educational institutions.

The next hearing in the case is scheduled on October 31.",1

Yemen’s internationally recognised government and the Houthi rebels agreed to exchange about 1,000 detainees and prisoners, including 15 Saudis, as part of trust-building steps aimed at reviving a stalled peace process, the United Nations said. “I am personally extremely pleased to be here to announce that you have reached a very important milestone,” UN envoy Martin Griffiths told reporters on Sunday. The Yemeni government, backed by a Saudi-led military coalition, and the Houthi movement signed a deal to swap some 15,000 detainees in 2018, but the pact has been slowly and only partially implemented. The two sides will now free 1,081 detainees and prisoners, Griffiths said in a joint news briefing with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) after a nearly 10-day meeting of the prisoners’ exchange committee held in the Swiss village of Glion above Lake Geneva. Sources familiar with the talks and Houthi-run Masirah TV said the rebels would release 400 people, including 15 Saudis and four Sudanese, while the coalition would free 681 Houthi fighters in the largest swap since peace talks in Stockholm in December 2018. “I urge the parties to move forward immediately with the release and to spare no effort in building upon this momentum to swiftly agree to releasing more detainees,” Griffiths said. The Houthi-run Al-Masirah TV channel quoted a rebel source as confirming a deal had been reached and both parties “express their commitment to implement the agreement”. “What matters to us is implementing the deal, not only signing it,” senior rebel commander Mohamed Ali al-Houthi tweeted on Saturday. Yemen’s Foreign Minister Mohammad al-Hadhrami welcomed the deal as a “humanitarian” breakthrough, but also said in a tweet “the government demands the agreement is implemented without stalling”. Security guarantees ICRC Middle East director Fabrizio Carboni, sitting next to Griffiths, called on the two warring parties to provide “security and logistical guarantees” for swift releases. The ICRC team will interview those released and give them medical checks. In unilateral moves, the Houthis last year freed 290 prisoners and Saudi Arabia released 128, while a locally mediated swap in Taiz governorate saw dozens freed. In January this year, the ICRC facilitated the release of six Saudis held by the Houthis. The latest talks that started in an undisclosed location in Switzerland on September 18 aimed at agreeing to the release of 1,420 prisoners. Among them is the brother of Yemeni President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi. But the release of General Nasser Mansour Hadi from the hands of the rebels “has been postponed”, according to a Yemeni government delegation member. Yemen has been mired in conflict since the Houthis removed the internationally recognised government from power. The conflict has killed tens of thousands of people, mostly civilians, and sparked what the UN calls the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. The conflict is widely seen in the region as a proxy war between rivals Saudi Arabia and Iran. Riyadh launched informal talks for a ceasefire with the Houthis late last year as it seeks to exit a costly war. The conflict in the Arab world’s poorest country erupted in 2014, when the Iran-allied Houthis seized the capital and much of the country’s north. A Saudi-led coalition, determined to restore Hadi’s government, launched a military intervention months later. The war in Yemen has left millions suffering from food and medical shortages. It has killed more than 100,000 people, including fighters and civilians.",1

Financial investigators charged the siblings; Grace, Betty, Arthur, and Hermine Bongo, all in their 50s between March 25 and April 5. Embezzlement of public funds, corruption, and abuse of company assets are among the claims. Investigators say that members of the Bongo dynasty, including Omar, his son Ali, 64, who is now the President of Gabon, and his daughter Pascaline, 66, profited knowingly from an illegally acquired real estate empire worth at least 85 million euros. According to the source, all four of Omar Bongo’s children, who have already been prosecuted, have denied any knowledge of the assets’ purportedly fraudulent origins. They told investigators that their father gave them the apartments in Paris’s affluent 15th and 16th districts as gifts between 1995 and 2004. Grace Bongo’s attorney, Elise Arfi, called it “scandalous” that her client was accused 25 years after purchasing the homes in question. Last year, prominent bank BNP Paribas was indicted in France’s 15-year-old probe into “ill-gotten gains” stemming from its former African colonies. El Hadj Omar Bongo Ondimba was a Gabonese politician who was the second President of Gabon for 42 years, from 1967 until his death in 2009. Omar Bongo was promoted to key positions as a young official under Gabon’s first President Léon M’ba in the 1960s, before being elected Vice-President in his own right in 1966 Bongo, a close French ally, ruled the oil-rich state from 1967 until his death in 2009, when he was succeeded by his son Ali. He had 54 children, more of whom may also face charges. Share this: Twitter Facebook",1

Smith, et al.","Betty Smith brought a negligence and wrongful death lawsuit against Belhaven Senior Care, LLC (Belhaven), a nursing home facility in which her mother Mary Hayes had resided shortly before Hayes’s death. Belhaven sought to compel arbitration, citing the arbitration provision in the nursing home admissions agreement Smith signed when admitting her mother. The trial judge denied arbitration, finding that Smith lacked the legal authority to bind her mother to the agreement. Belhaven appealed. The nursing home’s primary argument on appeal was that under the Health-Care Decisions Act (“the Act”), Smith acted as a statutory healthcare surrogate. So in signing the nursing home admission agreement, Smith had authority to waive arbitration on her mother’s behalf. In addition, Belhaven puts forth arguments of direct-benefit estoppel and third-party beneficiary status. The Mississippi Supreme Court affirmed, finding that while Hayes did suffer from some form of dementia, when admitted to the nursing home, she was neither evaluated by a physician nor was she determined to lack capacity. Indeed, her “Admission Physician Orders” were signed by a nurse practitioner. It was not until eleven days later that a physician evaluated Hayes. ""And even then, the physician did not deem she lacked capacity. In fact, Belhaven puts forth no evidence that—at any time during her stay of more than a year at Belhaven—any physician ever determined Hayes lacked capacity."" The Court determined Belhaven failed to prove the strict requirements of the surrogacy statute to rebut this presumption. Furthermore, the Court found Belhaven’s direct-benefit estoppel and third-party beneficiary arguments were lacking: because Belhaven contends that Hayes was incapacitated, she could not knowingly seek or obtain benefits from the agreement. ""Nor does Smith’s largely negligence-based lawsuit seek to enforce the contract’s terms or require determination by reference to the contract. So Smith is not estopped from pursuing these claims.""",1

Aleskey Yaroshevich, 34, and Egor Pavlenko, 41, are in police custody in their hometown of Minsk, U.S. Attorney David Hickton said. ""As these arrests demonstrate, we will pursue participants in criminal organizations over borders and around the world to ensure they are held accountable,"" Hickton said. Although the charges are related to a federal indictment obtained last year by Hickton's office against Moldovan native Andrey Ghinkul, the two men are being prosecuted by authorities in Belarus. The men are part of an ""international criminal group"" that tried to launder the money through fictitious companies in Belarus, China, Bangladesh and other countries, according to a news release from the Investigative Committee of the Republic of Belarus. The release neither specifies the charges filed against the men nor details the potential penalties they face. Hickton's office declined to comment, and the FBI didn't immediately respond when asked whether the men have attorneys. Ghinkul was arrested in Cyprus last summer and was returned to the United States in March. He remains jailed awaiting trial on charges he led a group that infected computers around the world with Bugat malware. The malware attacked computers of those who opened phishing emails. U.S. victims have lost at least $10 million, which the FBI considers a conservative estimate. Ghinkul is being prosecuted by Hickton's office because the drilling firm and its bank, as well as a school district in western Pennsylvania, were targeted. Worldwide, victims have lost at least $25 million. The drilling firm, Penneco Oil Co. Inc. of Delmont, was hacked when an employee opened a phishing email. That enabled Ghinkul and others to track keystrokes on the company's computers. That information helped the hackers move nearly $2.2 million from a Penneco account to a bank in Krasnodar, Russia, in August 2012 and $1.35 million from a Penneco account to a bank in Minsk in September 2012—the money Hickton said Yaroshevich and Pavlenko received. The company's bank restored the stolen funds and is now considered a victim in the case. ""We are surprised and impressed that the feds have tracked down these criminals,"" Ben Wallace, Penneco's chief operating officer said Friday.

Continue reading... In a significant blow to Bob Menendez’s hopes of staying in the US Senate while under indictment for corruption, Cory Booker – his fellow New Jersey Democrat – joined calls for the senator to resign.

“The details of the allegations against Senator Menendez are of such a nature that the faith and trust of New Jerseyans as well as those he must work with in order to be effective have been shaken to the core,” Booker said on Tuesday.

Booker, who has been in the US Senate since 2013, added: “I believe stepping down is best for those Senator Menendez has spent his life serving.”

By early afternoon, more than a dozen Democratic senators had called for Menendez to quit.

Menendez, 69, was elected to the Senate in 2006. He survived a previous corruption investigation, which was dropped in 2017 after a jury failed to reach a verdict.

Last week, Menendez was charged with using his position as chair of the Senate foreign relations committee to profit through assistance to the government of Egypt, through three businessmen in his home state.

The senator and his wife are alleged to have taken bribes including gold bars, a Mercedes-Benz car and more than $500,000 in cash.

On Monday, speaking to reporters in Union City, Menendez said the cash was from his savings.

“For 30 years,” he said, “I have withdrawn thousands of dollars in cash from my personal savings accounts, which I have kept for emergencies and because of the history of my family facing confiscation in Cuba.

“Now this may seem old-fashioned, but these were monies drawn from my personal savings accounts based on the income that I have lawfully derived over those 30 years. I look forward to addressing other issues in trial.”

He did not mention the gold bars or the car or say if he planned to seek re-election. He ignored questions from reporters.

“Everything I’ve accomplished, I’ve worked for despite the naysayers and everyone who has underestimated me,” Menendez said.

“I recognise this will be the biggest fight yet, but as I have stated throughout this whole process, I firmly believe that when all the facts are presented, not only will I be exonerated, but I still will be New Jersey’s senior senator.”

To those calling for his resignation, he said: “The court of public opinion is no substitute for our revered justice system. Those who rushed to judgment, you have done so based on a limited set of facts framed by the prosecution to be as salacious as possible. Remember, prosecutors get it wrong.”

Then, only one Democratic senator, John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, had joined influential Democrats including the governor of New Jersey, Phil Murphy, and the New York congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in calling for Menendez to quit.

Many observers turned their gaze to Booker, a Menendez ally and high-profile Democrat who ran for the party’s presidential nomination in 2020.

Politico observed: “Menendez might stick around no matter what Booker says, but if Booker calls for Menendez’s resignation it will make it safer and easier for every other Democrat who has remained mum to do the same. On the other hand, a supportive statement from Booker will be worth its weight in gold.”

On Tuesday, Booker followed other Democratic senators – Sherrod Brown of Ohio, Peter Welch of Vermont, Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Jacky Rosen of Nevada – in saying Menendez should go.

“For nearly a decade,” Booker said, “I’ve worked in the Senate alongside Senator Menendez … I’ve witnessed his extraordinary work and boundless work ethic. I’ve consistently found Senator Menendez to be intellectually gifted, tough, passionate, and deeply empathic. We have developed a working relationship and a friendship.”

Saying the new indictment “contains shocking allegations of corruption and specific, disturbing details of wrongdoing”, Booker said he found that “hard to reconcile with the person I know”. He expected Menendez to mount “a vigorous defence”, he said.

But, he said, “there is [a] higher standard for public officials, one not of criminal law but of common ideals. As senators, we operate in the public trust … the allegations against Senator Menendez are of such a nature that the faith and trust of New Jerseyans as well as those he must work with … have been shaken to the core.

“… Stepping down is not an admission of guilt but an acknowledgment that holding public office often demands tremendous sacrifices at great personal cost. Senator Menendez has made these sacrifices in the past to serve. And in this case he must do so again.”

Other Democratic senators followed in Booker’s footsteps.

They included Tammy Baldwin of Illinois, Bob Casey of Pennsylvania, Martin Heinrich of New Mexico, Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, Michael Bennet of Colorado, Mark Kelly of Arizona, Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, Ed Markey of Massachusetts and Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire.

John Tester of Montana, a senator widely seen as vulnerable in his re-election fight next year, said: “I’ve read the detailed charges against Senator Menendez and find them deeply disturbing.

“While he deserves a fair trial like every other American, I believe Senator Menendez should resign for the sake of the public’s faith in the US Senate.”",1

In August last year, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) conducted searches on the premises linked to Mr. Gehlot, Ambience Limited, Ambience Developers and Infrastructure Private Limited and unknown officials of the Haryana Urban Development Authority, Town & Country Planning Department. The CBI case was registered on the direction of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, following allegations that the mall had been constructed illegally on 18.98 acres by blatantly flouting the building by-laws and statutory provisions. About a year ago, the ED had also searched the premises of Aman Hospitality Private Limited (AHPL), other companies of the Ambience group, and its directors in connection with a bank fraud case. During the search at Mr. Gehlot’s residence, ₹16 lakh in cash and ₹24 lakh in foreign currency were found, as alleged. The ED search was based on a First Information Report registered by the Jammu Anti-Corruption Bureau against AHPL and its directors for allegedly laundering money during the construction and development of the 5-star Leela Ambience Convention Hotel near the Yamuna Sports Complex in Delhi. According to the ED, a sizeable portion of over ₹800 crore taken in loans from a consortium of banks for the hotel project was diverted and round-tripped via a web of companies. Some employees of the Ambience group and associates of Mr. Gehlot were allegedly appointed as directors or proprietors of such entities, but he was the “authorised signatory”.",1

Andrej Kiska was president between 2014 and 2019, after which he founded and briefly led the Za Ľudí party. The charges relate to the 2014 presidential election campaign. (Source: TASR) Font size: A - | A + Comments disabled Share The trial of Andrej Kiska, who served as president of Slovakia between 2014 and 2019, continued on September 20 at Poprad District Court. The presentation of evidence has now concluded, but no verdict has yet been returned. The prosecution accuses Kiska of tax evasion, along with Eduard Kučkovský, a director of the KTAG company. This company, initially named Kiska Travel Agency and co-owned by Andrej Kiska and his brother Jaroslav, is alleged to have billed as legitimate business expenses costs that were in fact related to Andrej Kiska's 2014 presidential election campaign, thus committing a tax fraud. According to the charges, the company unjustly claimed a VAT refund of €155,000. Kiska and Kučkovský deny the charges. During the latest court session, a former employee of KTAG, who worked as an accountant from 2011 to 2015, testified that she misrecorded the disputed invoices on the instructions of Kučkovský. Closing statements from all the involved parties, including the prosecutor, defence lawyers and the charged, are scheduled for October 11, which is when the first-instance court's verdict may be returned. Kiska's perspective Both of the charged deny their guilt. During the initial hearing on June 29 of this year, Kiska claimed that he was being politically targeted, stating that no one in Slovak and Czech legal history had been prosecuted for recording legitimate company expenses that the tax authorities did not dispute. He emphasised that the investigation had spanned more than eight years and had been suspended twice before charges were finally brought. Kiska alleged that the process is part of a political campaign against him. Kiska's lawyer, Peter Kubina, argued that no crime had been committed and requested the exoneration of his client. Eduard Kučovský, the CEO of KTAG, also provided testimony in his defence. Despite the lengthy proceedings, the trial has been moving forward at the expected pace, with the court setting additional hearing dates for September and October. The timing of the trial may be significant, as it could potentially impact the outcome of upcoming parliamentary elections. After stepping down from the presidency, Kiska founded and briefly led a new party, Za Ľudí (For the People), that won seats in the 2020 election. Za Ľudí is also running in this year's election – as part of a coalition with OĽaNO and Christian Union. However, in June Kiska announced on social media that he would be voting for Freedom and Solidarity (SaS) in the September 30 poll.",1

The 98-page report, “‘Treat Us Like Human Beings:’ Discrimination against Sex Workers, Sexual and Gender Minorities, and People Who Use Drugs in Tanzania,”documents abuses including torture, rape, assault, arbitrary arrest, and extortion. The organizations found that the fear of abuse is driving sex workers, people who use drugs, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) people away from prevention and treatment services. The groups conducted their research from May 2012 to April 2013, and interviewed 121 members of high risk groups, along with Tanzanian government officials, service providers, and academics. “The Tanzanian government has committed on paper to reduce the stigma for at-risk groups, but that commitment is meaningless if the police regularly rape, assault, and arrest them,” said Neela Ghoshal, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Rights researcher at Human Rights Watch. “The government’s HIV policy can’t succeed if police are driving away the very people the public health programs most need to reach.” The two organizations also documented a wide range of abuses against at-risk groups in the health sector, including denial of services, verbal harassment and abuse, and violations of confidentiality. Tanzanian HIV/AIDS policy calls for efforts to reduce stigma against marginalized groups, and authorities have taken some measures to do so. But Human Rights Watch and WASO identified dozens of cases in which health workers turned away sex workers, LGBTI people, and drug users from health facilities without offering services, or publicly humiliated them. The groups also documented the commercial sexual exploitation of children. It is prohibited for children to engage in sex work, but instead of protecting these children and offering them assistance, the groups found that police rape, sexually assault, and beat them with impunity. In one case, a 12-year-old girl engaged in sex work in Mbeya was gang-raped by police officers. Police who abuse these children should be investigated and prosecuted. The groups found that semiofficial security forces, most notably the Sungu Sungu, a vigilante group, are also implicated in violence against at-risk populations, “policing” their behavior, often through force. These human rights violations contribute to an environment in which men who have sex with men, transgender people, sex workers, and people who inject drugs have become increasingly distrustful of the state. Their fears undermine public health initiatives that depend on cooperation and partnership between the government and key populations that are most at risk of HIV infection. Tanzania’s HIV policy commits, among other strategies, to increase access to HIV prevention and services for key populations; to build partnerships with nongovernmental organizations representing these marginalized groups; and to work toward decriminalization of sex work and same-sex conduct. However, these strategies have been carried out halfheartedly at best, Human Rights Watch and WASO found. Members of most at-risk populations are also denied access to information about HIV. Public awareness campaigns on HIV almost exclusively target heterosexual couples. Many community-based organizations believe they cannot offer services to criminalized groups, fearing that working with these groups is, in itself, illegal. LGBTI people and sex workers say that they cannot form legally recognized membership groups and register with the government. In 2011, police arrested and beat one gay man in Dar es Salaam simply because he tried to organize a workshop for other men who have sex with men. Tanzanian law punishes consensual sexual conduct between adult males with 30 years to life in prison, one of the harshest sentences for same-sex intimacy in the world. In semiautonomous Zanzibar, the law prohibits consensual same-sex sexual relations between men, with a penalty of up to 14 years in prison, and between women, with up to 5 years in prison. No one has been prosecuted for same-sex conduct in recent years, but the law contributes to the isolation and marginalization of LGBTI people. Sex work is criminalized in both mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar, as is the personal possession and consumption of even small amounts of narcotic drugs. The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) says that criminalization of key populations drives them underground and away from HIV services, resulting in further marginalization, discrimination, and violence. The Global Commission on HIV and the Law, a commission of experts established by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), also calls for decriminalizing sex work and same-sex conduct involving consenting adults. The criminalization of consensual sexual relations among adults is incompatible with a number of internationally recognized human rights, including the rights to privacy and non-discrimination. Criminalization of the voluntary, commercial exchange of sexual services among adults, as in the case of consensual sex work by adults, is also incompatible with the right to privacy, including personal autonomy. President Jakaya Kikwete should publicly condemn police abuse, discrimination in health care, and all other forms of discrimination against sex workers, people who use drugs, and LGBTI people, Human Rights Watch and WASO said. The police and the Health and Social Welfare Ministry should provide services for all who require them. The parliaments of Tanzania and Zanzibar should decriminalize same-sex conduct and sex work involving consenting adults, and review drug laws to ensure that they are consistent with human rights. Donors should ensure that funding directed to HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment in Tanzania includes funds specifically aimed at these key populations’ health needs, and should support the development of civil society organizations representing them. “If Tanzania is truly committed to addressing HIV/AIDS among key populations, it needs a coordinated, rights-based approach,” Ghoshal said. “The police and health care workers should provide protection and treatment to at-risk groups, rather than setting an example of hatred and bigotry.”",1

Kavala has been in custody for more than two years, charged with attempting to overthrow the government by organizing and funding protests against then-Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan which started in Istanbul’s Gezi Park and spread nationwide. Kavala, who faces life in jail if convicted, denies the allegations. Fifteen other defendants are on trial along with him but he is the only one in custody. Their trial was adjourned on Tuesday until Jan. 28. The Turkish court said it had decided to keep Kavala in jail due to the severity of the alleged crimes and was awaiting a response from the justice ministry on whether the ECHR ruling was final. The European court called for his immediate release two weeks ago, saying there was a lack of reasonable suspicion that he had committed an offence. ECHR rulings are legally binding but Turkey has frequently not implemented them. “The ECHR was very clear. It orders that he (Kavala) be released immediately and Turkey’s court has not abided by this ruling,” said Garo Paylan, a lawmaker from the opposition Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP). “We saw once again that the judiciary in Turkey has collapsed,” he said after observing the hearing. “The president still can’t accept that Gezi was a protest action and wants to label it as a terrorist action.” Critics of Erdogan’s government have questioned the independence of Turkish courts, especially since a crackdown following a failed coup in 2016. Erdogan and his AK Party say the judiciary makes independent decisions. The indictment cited tapped phone calls in which Kavala discussed sending pastries, milk, juice and gas masks to protesters as evidence that he financed the protests. Two police officers involved in the crackdown on the protests at the time told the court on Tuesday they had not personally seen Kavala taking part in or directing violent acts. Kavala says his detention was unlawful and has requested release, saying witnesses had not given the court any information regarding him directing the violent acts. “Since all the activities in the indictment are activities that do not involve a crime, this indictment is a document that has a quality of expressing that I am not guilty,” Kavala told the court on Tuesday.",1

How AIADMK-BJP split could affect both parties,"Lose-lose situation or golden chance to one-up DMK? How AIADMK-BJP split could affect both parties But political analysts say end of alliance may also result in AIADMK losing out in Tamil Nadu's southern region, and BJP will have to find itself a strong partner. The two parties, which forged an alliance in 2019, have been at loggerheads since February this year. However, the decision to end the alliance follows a war of words between AIADMK senior leaders and Tamil Nadu BJP president K. Annamalai regarding his comments about C.N. Annadurai, regarded as the ideological leader of the AIADMK.

AIADMK Deputy General Secretary K.P. Munusamy Monday announced that the party has “unanimously passed a resolution in its meeting to break all ties with the BJP and NDA alliance.”

Chennai: The All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam’s (AIADMK) decision to break-up with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) could spell doom for the regional party or, if it plays its cards well, emerge as a strong alternative to the DMK.

“Anna is our party founder and our party carries his name. The ideology that we follow is framed by him and we take pride in following in his footsteps. Any remark against Anna will not be tolerated. Our party carries forward Anna’s legacy and, in an alliance, one should clearly understand the Lakshman Rekha (the limit),” said AIADMK spokesperson Kovai Sathyan to ThePrint.

Earlier, ThePrint had reported that during the AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami’s (EPS) Delhi visit on 14 September to meet Union Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP president J.P. Nadda, the party had decided to bring up its concern about Annamalai’s constant remarks against the AIADMK, apart from other issues in the state.

Speaking to reporters in Chennai on 18 September, AIADMK leader D. Jayakumar said, “Enough is enough. We had asked the high command to control Annamalai and even after that if he continues to disrespect our leaders, it only means that he is acting under the BJP leadership’s advice.”

The split will likely have consequences for both the AIADMK and BJP. AIADMK may see the party losing out more in the southern region of the state, but will be successful in attracting the non-Hindutva, anti-BJP and anti-DMK votes, said analysts. Meanwhile the BJP, which was hoping to piggyback on AIADMK, will have to find itself a strong partner.

Speaking to ThePrint, political analyst Sumanth C. Raman said the split was “long overdue”.

“The AIADMK was feeling that they were being abused. How will you feel when personal attacks are made on senior leaders, or on party’s former leaders? The party cadres were definitely angry and if this alliance was to contest polls, the AIADMK cadres might not have voted for BJP. If the BJP high command had taken action against Annamalai, there might have been hope for the alliance,” he said.

Analysts ThePrint spoke to, however, add that there is more to this break-up. According to sources, during the September meeting, talks around seat sharing also took place with the BJP asking for close to 20 seats.

“Annamalai alone cannot be a reason,” said Priyan Srinivasan, a political analyst from Chennai, to ThePrint. “If Annamalai is removed, will AIADMK re-join the BJP? There have been some clear-cut demands from the BJP. One is for close to 20 seats in the upcoming polls and second is for the AIADMK to make peace with ousted leaders like OPS (O. Panneerselvam) and T.T.V. (Dhinakaran) ahead of the 2024 polls. Both requests might have put EPS on the spot.”

AIADMK vs BJP

The rift between the AIADMK and the BJP state chief came to the fore in February ahead of the Erode East by-polls when the EPS camp announced its candidate — 65-year-old K.S. Thennarasu, a two-time MLA from Erode — without consulting its alliance partner BJP.

The BJP, in-turn, took its own time to announce its support.

The EPS camp further irked the BJP when they opened an election office for the party in Erode with a banner featuring images of all alliance partners but none from the BJP, including PM Narendra Modi. Moreover, the banner also named the alliance as ‘National Democratic Progressive Alliance’ instead of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA). This was later corrected.

The BJP later played broker between the EPS and OPS camps by making Panneerselvam withdraw its candidate for the bypoll, putting to rest speculations of a rift in the alliance.

But the fissures became more evident in March when the two parties indulged in a poaching war with each other, and later when Annamalai’s speech in a closed-door meeting went viral, during which he allegedly expressed his desire to cut ties with the AIADMK.

In April, while releasing the DMK files — on the alleged corruption by leaders of the ruling party — Annamalai had said that his party would expose the corruption of all parties that have ruled Tamil Nadu. This was seen as an indirect jibe at the AIADMK. In the past five decades, the two Dravidian parties — the DMK and the AIADMK — have dominated Tamil Nadu’s political scene, keeping national parties at bay.

The same month, Annamalai also said, “No one is our partner, everyone is our enemy”, while EPS reportedly asked reporters to not ask him “questions about (Annamalai)”.

However, by the end of April, things looked more settled following a meeting between AIADMK senior leadership and Shah and Nadda. AIADMK party sources had told ThePrint then that the BJP high command had advised the state leadership to work with alliance partners keeping 2024 Lok Sabha polls in mind.

A brief lull followed, but controversy erupted again in June when Annamalai was asked during an interview to The Times of India if he agreed that the “1991-96 period” — when Jayalalithaa was CM — was among the worst in terms of corruption in Tamil Nadu. Annamalai had said, “Many administrations in Tamil Nadu were corrupt. Former chief ministers have been convicted in courts of law. That is why Tamil Nadu has become one of the most corrupt states. I would say it is number one in corruption.”

This remark saw the AIADMK calling Annamalai “immature” and Jayakumar, back then, had purportedly said in a closed-door meeting that the party would “reconsider” its alliance with the BJP if Annamalai continued to target the AIADMK.

The culmination of this dispute came with the BJP state president’s remark on 11 September about Annadurai having allegedly spoken ill of Hinduism during an event in 1956.

To ally or not to ally

The AIADMK-BJP alliance could have helped garner the anti-incumbency vote against the DMK, but a break-up might make things difficult for the AIADMK in southern Tamil Nadu, said political analyst J.V.C. Sreeram.

“Both parties must realise that this alliance will be beneficial for them as there is an anti-incumbency against DMK and not (Chief Minister M.K.) Stalin. In the event of a breaking of alliance, the loser will be the AIADMK. Though they are holding on in the Kongu region (the western part of Tamil Nadu), they are losing their base in South,” said Sreeram.

“The BJP is always seen as a 3 percent party. If they are able to get even 10 percent, it will be growth for them. But if a 40 percent party like the AIADMK comes down to 20 percent, the biggest loser will be AIADMK, they will become a sub-regional party,” he added.

The AIADMK, Sreeram added, also cannot contest without a CM face. “That will be extremely dangerous,” he said. “A weakened AIADMK, a split AIADMK and a leadership without a non-PM face could put the party in danger.”

Raman, though, had a slightly different view on the matter.

He said that in order to survive, the AIADMK has to take on the BJP. This, he added, could also be a chance for the AIADMK to win back minority votes if they play their cards right. “Breaking off the alliance is good for the AIADMK. The BJP is trying to make inroads into the state and, in the process, will swallow the AIADMK. The AIADMK has to establish that they are a force,” said Raman, adding that the Dravidian party will have to make smart alliances with parties like the Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) and try to consolidate the Thevar community vote in the south in order to do well.

“Now that they are free of the BJP millstone, AIADMK will be an attractive option to those who want to vote against the DMK,” said Raman.

Tough road ahead for BJP

Even as the AIADMK announced its decision to sever ties with the BJP, the party’s state leadership stood in solidarity with its state president — Annamalai.

“Annamalai is a principled politician who has left his job as an IPS officer and joined politics to do service for the people of Tamil Nadu, and here Annamalai has not spoken ill about Anna. He only quoted a factual event,” BJP state spokesperson Amar Prasad Reddy told ThePrint, adding that the AIADMK’s reaction is stemming from their fear of “Annamalai’s growth and PM Modi wave in Tamil Nadu”.

The BJP’s best bet now is to gain the support of Thevar strongmen like ousted leaders OPS and Dhinakaran, said Raman. “I can’t see the BJP win a single seat on their own. Their best bet will be to make an alliance with TTV, OPS, Sasikala and PMK.”

Priyan Srinivasan, though, has said that there is an overwhelming feeling in the state that the AIADMK will join hands with the BJP again before the 2024 polls.

They are eaten as multi-course meals and have a dedicated fish course. These cuisines converge at Mustard — both the condiment and Chennai’s new restaurant. The bi-cultural eatery opened its first branch in Goa in 2015 and in Mumbai in 2018. Located by the poolside at the Pharos hotel in Nungambakkam, the decor is lush with greenery and wooden furniture. Inside are sofas with floral and plaid upholstery in shades of mustard, exposed brick walls, reminiscent of a French home and Bengali lithographs that bring the East and West together under one roof. “Mustard’s menu is curated by Pritha Sen, a food anthropologist and Gregory Bazire from Normandy. “It is 60% Bengali cuisine and 40% French with no fusions,” says Punam Singh, co-founder of the restaurant chain. So we start our meal with tomato tartare which has four kinds of tomatoes placed on a bed of chilled quinoa with a layer of avocado puree in between. Varied tastes Another colourful delight is brought in. The Provencale-style tartine has a mix of veggies on a slice of focaccia. “It can be a stressful one to plate. With 13 ingredients on it, we work with our tweezers even as the plate is picked up for service,” says Punam. First to hit is a small slice of lime. Just as the sour begins to dominate, the eggplant caviar comes in. While it is a bright dish, it does not compel us to go in for another slice. The fish fry in tartare sauce is mildly spiced and light. Slices of bhetki or Barramundi fish, are coated in a green chilli paste before being dunked in breadcrumbs and fried. The Red wine caramelised compressed lamb is rich and falls apart in the mouth. The palong chhanar kofta is a dish with spinach balls stuffed with paneer sitting in a coconut milk gravy. The kofta is sweet with creamy paneer. The savoury gravy goes well with the soft dal puri which is shallow fried in ghee. The cocktail menu has been curated with flavours that complement the meats, spices and aromatics used in both the cuisines. We try the apricot sparkling wine which is sweet and made with inhouse apricot liquor. Yurii Grigorov, the mixologist, explains that the ruby punch on the menu is made with distilled milk. This is often a dealbreaker, but the drink is delightful with notes of cinnamon and citrus. It is also finished with sparkling wine and can be alternated with whiskey. For dessert we try baked cheesecake with tart passion fruit coulis and raspberry compote to end our shuttle between France and Kolkata in the heart of Chennai. Mustard is on Sterling Road.

The Austrian drag queen had been due to perform at the Friday night showing of New European Songbook alongside her Syrian ensemble, Basalt, who are based in Vienna. But despite a supporting statement from the festival, each of the three Basalt members were unsuccessful with their visa applications. As a result, Wurst pulled out of the concert entirely, though it will still go ahead with the remaining acts. A statement from the festival said: “We are very disappointed to announce that the Syrian artists were unsuccessful in their application for visas to perform live at the concert. “The concert will go ahead with a specially recorded introduction by Conchita and Basalt and a film of their performance. “The international festival has issued an open invitation to Conchita and Basalt to perform later at this year’s festival. If this is not possible, the invitation will be extended to the 2018 international festival.” Wurst is an Austrian recording artist and drag queen portrayed by Thomas Neuwirth. She came to international attention after winning the Eurovision song contest in 2014 with Rise Like a Phoenix. The festival is on the Home Office list of permit-free festivals, which allows artists who need a visa to enter the country to apply for a standard visitor’s visarather than a working visa. Basalt applied to enter the UK on this basis but were unsuccessful. They are a Syrian trio who formed in 2016 in Austria. They perform a mix of styles including alternative, blues and rock. The New European Songbook presents new music from across the continent in two wide-ranging concerts. Each night sees a selection of musicians come together to perform new pieces of music for the first time. Musicians from across Europe share the stage with others who have recently made Europe their home.",0

The release of Pandora's Box (1992) marked the introduction of Curtis's distinctive presentation that uses collage to explore aspects of sociology, psychology, philosophy and political history.[2] His style has been described as involving, ""whiplash digressions, menacing atmospherics and arpeggiated scores, and the near-psychedelic compilation of archival footage"", narrated by Curtis himself with ""patrician economy and assertion"".[3] His films have won five BAFTAs. Early life [ edit ] Adam Curtis was born in Dartford in Kent,[4] and raised in nearby Platt.[5] His father was Martin Curtis (1917–2002), a cinematographer with a socialist background.[2][6] Curtis won a county scholarship and attended the Sevenoaks School. It was there that an influential art teacher introduced him to the work of Robert Rauschenberg.[7] Curtis completed a Bachelor of Arts degree in human sciences at Mansfield College, Oxford. He began a PhD and taught in politics, but ultimately became disillusioned with academia and decided to leave the profession.[6] Career [ edit ] Early career [ edit ] Curtis applied to the BBC and was hired to make a film for one of its training courses, comparing designer clothes in music videos to the design of weapons. He was subsequently given a post on That's Life!,[1] a magazine series that juxtaposed hard-hitting investigations and light-hearted content. He was a film director on Out of Court, a BBC Two legal series, from 1980 until 1982.[8] Politics [ edit ] Curtis is inspired by the sociologist Max Weber, who, he argues, challenged the ""crude, left-wing, vulgar Marxism that says that everything happens because of economic forces within society"".[6] Of his general political outlook, Curtis has also remarked: People often accuse me of being a lefty. That's complete rubbish. If you look at The Century of the Self, what I'm arguing is something very close to a neoconservative position because I'm saying that, with the rise of individualism, you tend to get the corrosion of the other idea of social bonds and communal networks, because everyone is on their own. Well, that's what the neoconservatives argue, domestically. [...] If you ask me what my politics are, I'm very much a creature of my time. I don't really have any. I change my mind over different issues, but I am much more fond of a libertarian view. I have a more libertarian tendency [...] What's astonishing in our time is how the Left here has completely failed to come up with any alternatives, and I think you may well see a lefty libertarianism emerging because people will be much more sympathetic to it, or just a libertarianism, and out of that will come ideas. And I don't mean ""localism"".[2] In another interview, Curtis reiterated this interpretation of ""The Century of the Self"", but added that it's not actually what he thinks himself: [The Century of the Self could be interpreted as] a crystal perfect piece of neoconservative ideology, domestic neoconservatism, because what it's actually arguing is the rise of individualism acted like an acid eating away at the fabric of social organisations... which is a sort of moralistic neocon attitude. That's not actually what I think. But you could argue that about most films, I think. I don't know really what my politics are.[9] In a later interview, Curtis has stated: I'm emotionally sympathetic to radicalism [...] I'm a progressive, I mean that's really what my politics are. I mean, I'm typical of my time, I don't have a consistent set of politics and I always suspect people who do, but I'm progressive so I try and understand what went wrong with radicalism.[10] Documentaries [ edit ] Example of Curtis's ""trademark"" title screens (Modern Times: The Way of All Flesh, 1997) Curtis cites the U.S.A. trilogy, a series of three novels by John Dos Passos that he first read when he was thirteen, as the greatest influence on his work: You can trace back everything I do to that novel because it's all about grand history, individual experience, their relationship. And also collages, quotes from newsreels, cinema, newspapers. And it's about collage of history as well. That's where I get it all from.[2] Other creative influences are Robert Rauschenberg and Émile Zola.[2] Curtis makes extensive use of archive footage in his documentaries. He has acknowledged the influence of recordings made by Erik Durschmied and is ""constantly using his stuff in my films"".[11] Discussing his process in an interview with fellow documentary-maker Jon Ronson for Vice, Curtis said his extensive work with footage acquired from the BBC Archives is often led by 'instinct and imagination', with the aim of creating 'a mood that gives power and force to the story I'm telling'.[12] Instead of specially composed music, which Curtis has said ""creates a sort of monoculture"", he uses tracks from a variety of genres, decades, and countries, as well as sound effects that he discovers on old tapes.[13] According to a profile of Curtis by Tim Adams, published in The Observer: ""If there has been a theme in Curtis's work ... it has been to look at how different elites have tried to impose an ideology on their times, and the tragicomic consequences of those attempts"".[14] In 2005, Curtis received the Golden Gate Persistence of Vision Award at the San Francisco International Film Festival.[15] In 2006, he was given the Alan Clarke Award for Outstanding Creative Contribution to Television at the British Academy Television Awards.[16] In 2009, the Sheffield International Documentary Festival gave Curtis the Inspiration Award for inspiring viewers and other documentary filmmakers.[17] In 2015, he was awarded the True Vision Award by the True/False Film Fest.[18] Curtis's critics have accused him of exaggeration and distortion, even wilful misrepresentation.[19][20] Blog [ edit ] Curtis administered a blog subtitled 'The Medium and the Message' hosted by the BBC and updated between 2009 and 2016.[21] Filmography [ edit ] References [ edit ]",0

The seven-storey property at 325 Rue Saint Martin – home to the designer’s atélier – is hosting an “immersive” exhibition as part of this year’s Paris Photo salon. Pictures created by student photographers at the University of Art and Design in Lausanne (ECAL) – interpreting Gaultier’s perfume Scandal in a mix of art and advertising – have been transformed into monumental fabric prints and enormous floor cushions for the event, called Under Your Smell. The exhibition will also allow a rare glimpse at the elegant belle époque building that is Gaultier’s fashion house headquarters and on which he has stamped his unique style. Images by photography students from the University of Art and Design in Lausanne hang in the building. Photograph: Samuel Spreyz/ECAL No 325 Rue Saint Martin was first known as the Proletariat Palace after it was commissioned in 1912 by a 200,000-member society called the Avenir du Prolétariat (ADP, Future of the Proletariat) and has since been a ribbon factory, boxing hall and a nightclub. The building, in an unfashionable district of the north Marais, a stone’s throw from the sex workers of Saint Denis, is imposing with its three tall arched windows and decorative ironwork, topped with fierce carved faces aimed at seeing off evil spirits. Gaultier acquired it in 2004, two years after it served as the headquarters for socialist Lionel Jospin’s disastrous presidential campaign (he was knocked out of the second round by Jean-Marie Le Pen, causing a political storm). The designer instructed his interior architects to do it out in black, grey and white. Beyond the platinum entrance hall, up the monumental staircase to the first floor with its rococo mouldings, lion’s head and the ADP’s coat of arms he installed a blue neon “Gaultier” sign above old-fashioned cinema-styled red swing doors. Here, the massive galleried ballroom, with its large skylights and vaulted ceiling, was perfect for his runway shows. The rest of the time, it served as a vast store room.

Passersby are often spotted dragging their heels as someone enters or leaves for a glimpse of the grand entrance hall clad from floor to ceiling with striking platinum-coloured metro tiles. Since Gaultier – perhaps best-known for dressing Madonna in conical bras – officially retired after his 50th anniversary haute couture show in January 2020, the building has been open two days a year to an exclusive audience of fashion world guests for the haute couture and ready-to-wear collections by designers he handpicks to “reinterpret” his ethos and style. The galleried ballroom with large skylights and vaulted ceiling. Photograph: Samuel Spreyz/ECAL Florence Tétier, the fashion house’s creative director, said they were constantly “rethinking how to use the space”. “We asked the photography students to think about body perceptions and translate the idea of beauty and the LGBTQIA+ community into photographs using Gaultier’s Scandal perfume. It was a challenge to show that you can still be artistic while incorporating the commercial,” Tétier said. A huge image of the designer over the entrance doorway. Photograph: Samuel Spreyz/ECAL Maria Eugenia Perez, spokesperson for Gaultier, said opening the fashion house headquarters to the public was about “democratising the space”. “This building has so much history we wanted to let the public come and see it. This exhibition is for everyone. Until now this has been a very exclusive place and the idea is to reach another audience. It’s about being faithful to the essence of Jean Paul Gaultier and his inspiration so that he is here in spirit even when he is not here.”",0

Thousands of devotees are heading to this town to witness the iconic Garuda Sevai, taking place today. Legend has it that it was Brahma, who laid the foundation for the annual Brahmotsavam, now celebrated in the Vaikasi month. In the Kritayuga, Brahma after getting separated from Saraswathi, performed the Ashwamedha yagna seeking the blessings of Vishnu. Pleased by his prayers, Varadaraja emerged from the sacrificial fire and united them. As an offering in return, Brahma along with Saraswathi performed a special aradhana and concluded it on the banks of river Palar on the Chitra pournami. “Garuda Sevai utsavam usually takes place on a pournami (full moon day) in the Tamil month of Vaikasi on Visakam star. But the utsavam may not coincide with Visakam or pournami every year, so it is scheduled in such a way that Garuda Sevai is performed on Vaikasi Sravanam, which falls on the ninth day of the Brahmotsavam every year,” says M.B. Vijayaraghavan, sthalam sthaniga mandapam, Varadaraja Perumal temple. According to Brahmapuranam the highlight of the festival is Varadaraja’s procession to Gangaikondan mandapam, situated eight km from the temple, where it is believed that River Cauvery seeks remedy from a curse by offering her prayers to Varadaraja. “And that’s the reason for conducting the Garuda Sevai at this mandapam,” he adds. Muruchampattu Krishnan, of Sri Lakshmi Hayagrivar temple, Chivvada, Thiruvallur district, who is a regular at this annual event, says, “Robert Clive, the British general, had come to Kanchipuram to witness Garuda Sevai and had gifted a necklace (haaram) for the deity. “The day when this utsavam takes place was declared a district holiday then.”",0

In the ten years since his death in 1957, with no more effort than it takes to type the comic-strip dream of a little boy’s hero, biographers catering to the Bogey Cult have transformed him into a cinematic saint, in whom I can find scarcely a trace of the Humphrey I first knew in 1924 or the Bogey I last saw in 1943. The youngest strokes in the portrait of St. Bogart are those which paint him as a ‘loner’, a man of ‘self determination’ who makes ‘all his own decisions’ with regard for nothing beyond immediate satisfaction. Such a description might do for a fourth century St. Anthony of the Egyptian desert, but never for a twentieth century film star in Hollywood. Being myself a born loner who was temporarily deflected from the hermit path by a career in the theatre and films, I can state categorically that in Bogart’s time there was no other occupation in the world that so closely resembled enslavement as the career of a film star. He had self-determination only in this: he might or he might not sign a film contract. If he signed the contract he became subject to those who paid his salary and released his films. If he did not sign the contract, he was no film star. I, for example, when I was under contract to Paramount in 1928, complained about being forced to hang around Hollywood waiting to make some film. “That’s what we are paying you for,” was the harsh comment of the front office, “your time.” “You mean my life,” I amended to myself. When the coming of talkies made the cutting of actors’ salaries practicable and I was the only one on the lot who refused to take a cut and thereby lost my contract, I doubted that such ‘uncooperative’ decisions would lengthen my career. When I was the only one of the cast who refused to return to make the talkie version of my last silent film there, The Canary Murder Case, the studio doused me with ugly publicity and made my doubts a certainty. In later years at Warner Brothers, when Bogart, following the lead of James Cagney and Errol Flynn, would go on strike, braying for better films and more money, the studio made a pleasant game of it. The actors were allowed a triumphant interval in which to feel like lords of the lot; the publicity stirred up by these mock battles was free and beneficial; and a great deal of money was saved while the actors’ salaries were suspended. Studio contracts were always a joke, anyhow, as far as actors were concerned. Studios could break them at will; the actors were bound by their fear of impoverishing law suits and permanent unemployment. As a loner, my two most precious rights are those which allow me to choose the periods of my aloneness and to choose the people with whom I will spend the periods of my not-aloneness. To be let alone for an instant is terrifying to a film star. It is the first signpost leading to oblivion. Obviously an actor cannot choose the people with whom he will work, or when or how he will work with them. He goes to work at a time specified by the studio. He spends his working day not only under the control of his director, but also of the scriptwriter, the cameraman, the wardrobe department, and the publicity office. Since publicity is the life-blood of stardom without which a star will die, it is equally obvious that he must keep it flowing through his private life which feeds the envy and curiosity that bring many people into theatres. Having rightly ascribed much of his previous failure in the theatre and films to a lack of publicity value, from the moment Bogart settled at Warner Brothers in 1936, all his time not spent before the camera was spent with journalists and columnists who invented for him the private character of Bogey. They carved him into the desired peg upon which they could hang their favourite ancient gags and bar-room fables. A small part of Bogey’s character was founded on his film roles; the greater part was founded on the pranks of those rats of the underworld idolised by the ex-columnist, producer Mark Hellinger. During the last ten years of his life, driven by his ferocious ambition, Humphrey Bogart allowed himself to be formed into a coarse and drunken bully, a puppet Iago who fomented evil without a motive. In 1924 my first impression of Humphrey Bogart was of a slim boy with charming manners, who was extraordinarily quiet for an actor. His handsome face was made extraordinary by a most beautiful mouth. It was very full, rosy, and perfectly modelled. To make it completely fascinating, at one corner of his upper lip a scarred quilted piece hung down in a tiny scallop. When Humphrey went into films, a surgeon sewed up the scallop. Photographically it was an improvement, but I missed this endearing disfigurement. The scar on his lip has since become a symbol of his heroism. In those early years it was taken for granted that he got punched in the mouth at some speakeasy. When Humphrey drank he became exhausted and occasionally fell asleep (as in Casablanca) with his head in his arms on the table. If rudely shaken awake he would say something rude and sometimes got socked for it. On this occasion he purposely did not get his split lip sewed up because he both loved and hated his beautiful mouth. America, in the 1920s, was exclusively Western in its ideas of beauty and vulgar people made fun of Humphrey’s ‘nigger lips’. The lip wound gave him no speech impediment either before or after it was mended. But when he at last made a hit in films, observing how much an unusual feature, such as Clark Gable’s prominent ears, added to the publicity value of a star, he decided to exploit his mouth. Over the years Bogey practised all kinds of lip gymnastics accompanied by nasal tones, snarls, lisps, and slurs. His painful wince, his leer, his fiendish grin were the most accomplished ever seen on film. Only Erich von Stroheim was his master in lip-twitching. But in 1924 Humphrey was speaking his lines with a well-projected baritone and good diction in a small part in a play in New York called Nerves. Mary Phillips also had a small part in Nerves. Kenneth MacKenna played a leading role. The play would have been a good deal more nervous had they known that after Humphrey was married and divorced by Helen Menken he would marry Mary Phillips; and that after Kenneth was married and divorced by Kay Francis he would marry Mary Phillips who had divorced Humphrey. With a view to future entanglements, the theatrical season of 1925-26 was even more intriguing. James Cagney, who was to become Humphrey’s red-headed bête noire at Warner Brothers, was playing in Outside Looking In; Leslie Howard, who was to put Humphrey in a position to rival Cagney, was playing in The Green Hat; Helen Menken, in Makropoulos Secret; Mary Phillips, in The Wisdom Tooth; and wife number three, Mayo Methot, in Alias the Deacon. In The Cradle Snatchers, Humphrey was playing a college boy being snatched by middle-aged Mary Boland, while off stage in the Bronx the year-old Lauren Bacall lay in her cradle waiting for Bogey to snatch her 20 years later as wife number four. Dismissing Humphrey’s theatrical career with a press notice loses much of its point when the facts are examined. From the season 1921-22 when he first appeared on Broadway with Alice Brady in Drifting, through the season 1929-30 when he got his first Hollywood contract, 2,044 plays were produced in New York. Out of a possible two thousand young American dramatic actors working in those plays, only four besides Bogart became major film stars – Cagney, Tracy, Fredric March and Clark Gable. Because, whether or not they confess it as frankly as Barbra Streisand who said, “To me being really famous is being a movie star,” that is the goal of all actors in the theatre. In 1930 Humphrey’s Hollywood failure was as predictable as was Cagney’s success. Cagney’s character was already a gaudy perfection in the theatre. In Penny Arcade, the play that won him his film contract with Warner Brothers, Jimmie appeared as the same little hoodlum killer that made him famous in films. Bogart was selected out of It’s a Wise Child, in which he played a gentlemanly young cad with only his good looks to recommend him to Hollywood producers, who were never inspired in casting an actor who had not yet established his own characterisation. Writers who never saw him on the stage cannot uncover the bitterness in Bogey’s ‘favourite’ review by Alexander Woollcott, who described his performance in Swifty as “inadequate”. To be mentioned at all in any review amounted to praise for Bogart. On the stage he was as formless as an impression lost through lack of meditation, as blurred as a name inked on blotting paper. In the 20s, under the supervision of old producers like David Belasco, stage direction dated back to the feverish technique of the English theatre before the plays of Ibsen, Chekhov and Bernard Shaw revolutionised it, introducing what Lytton Strachey called “a new quiet and subtle style of acting – a prose style.” In New York we began to realise how bad were our directors and actors when English stars began to appear on Broadway. There was Lynn Fontanne in Pygmalion, Roland Young in The Last of Mrs. Cheyney, Leslie Howard in Berkeley Square and Gertrude Lawrence and Noël Coward in Private Lives. These marvellous actors of realism spoke their lines as if they had just thought of them. They moved about the stage with ease. And they actually paid attention too – they actually heard what other actors were saying. The conventional Broadway technique exposed more showing-off than acting, more of a fight than a play. Every actor’s aim was to kill the other actors’ lines, especially if the lines provoked laughter. Ina Claire was celebrated for waving a large chiffon handkerchief on other actors’ lines and forcing them to work with their backs to the audience. Far from being criticised, she was envied for such tricks. After 13 years of conditioning to this kind of ‘stage’ acting, when Bogart got a job in The Petrified Forest, which opened in January 1935, nothing but searching ambition could have enabled him to see in Leslie Howard’s quiet, natural acting technique a style he could adapt to his own personality. Nothing but inflexible will-power could have enabled him to tear down his ingrained acting habits in order to begin all over again the self-conscious agony of learning to act. Working with Leslie gave him command of the Duke Mantee part in the play and in the film; but the films of the following five years reveal the terrible struggle for supremacy engaged in by the new Bogey technique with the old theatrical habits of Humphrey. With a poor director, Frank McDonald, in The Isle of Fury he was Humphrey again, reciting his memorised lines, striking attitudes while he waited for the other actors to get done with theirs. In Dark Victory, working with a great director, Edmund Goulding, who was also a great clown, acting with the emotional Bette Davis who could fire up on the word ‘camera’, he was stricken with grotesque, amateur embarrassment. Unlike most technical actors, Humphrey was extremely sensitive to his director. But like most actors from the theatre, he was slow in building a mood and grimly serious about maintaining it. James Cagney, in The Roaring Twenties, split him in a confusion between Bogey and Humphrey. Cagney’s swift dialogue and his swift movements, which had the glitter and precision of a meat slicer, were impossible to anticipate or counter-attack. Humphrey was at his best working with less inspired and more technical actors such as Walter Huston. He was also at his best playing an inarticulate, uncomplicated character like the punk in San Quentin. His senseless pursuit of death became pathetic, even noble, because it came out of his own unconquerable perseverance in pursuing stardom. In The Maltese Falcon his part was uncomplicated, but too much dialogue betrayed the fact that his miserable theatrical training had left him permanently afraid of words. In short speeches he cleverly masked his fear with his tricks of mouth and voice. But when he was allotted part of the burden of exposition in this film, his eyes glazed and invisible comic strip balloons circled his dialogue. More unfortunate were his efforts at repartee with Mary Astor in Across the Pacific. In his last films, it was not the theatre Humphrey who overcame Bogey, but the real man, Humphrey Bogart, whose fundamental inertia had always menaced his career. As a dead soul waiting for release in death in The Desperate Hours, he was incomparable until, unaccountably, a sentimental heart began to beat, and he handed over the film to Fredric March. However, before inertia set in, he played one fascinatingly complex character, craftily directed by Nicholas Ray, in a film whose title perfectly defined Humphrey’s own isolation among people. In a Lonely Place gave him a role that he could play with complexity because the film character’s, the screenwriter’s, pride in his art, his selfishness, his drunkenness, his lack of energy stabbed with lightning strokes of violence, were shared equally by the real Bogart. In his preface to The Doctor’s Dilemma, Bernard Shaw wrote: “No man who is occupied in doing a very difficult thing, and doing it very well, ever loses his self respect. The common man may have to found his self-respect on sobriety, honesty and industry; but an artist needs no such props for his sense of dignity… The truth is, hardly any of us have energy enough for more than one really inflexible point of honour. An actor, a painter, a composer, an author, may be as selfish as he likes without reproach from the public if only his art is superb; and he cannot fulfil this condition without sufficient effort and sacrifice to make him feel noble and martyred in spite of his selfishness.” Superficially, Humphrey’s character and way of life so little resembled that of the secure and temperate Leslie Howard that what induced Leslie to become his guide and champion is not immediately apparent. I, myself, would never have known the reason for his sympathetic attitude towards Humphrey had I not met Leslie in New York in November 1931 when he was rehearsing his new play, The Animal Kingdom. It was on the afternoon of my 25th birthday that George Marshall (not the director but the owner of the professional football team, the Washington Redskins) announced that he was going to celebrate the event by taking me to dinner at the Casino in the Park with Leslie Howard and his wife. I was surprised and pleased, not only because George was mad at me for turning down an offer to work for RKO in Hollywood, but also because he so little liked spending unnecessary money on me that the last time I spoke to him on the ‘phone in 1960, he was still wondering why he had given me a mink coat in 1928. Conversationally, the dinner party was not well balanced. When I was with George I said little, fearing that I might give him material for an enquiry into how I spent my time when he was away in Washington. Leslie, who had evidently accepted the invitation because he enjoyed George’s performances, said nothing. Mrs. Howard, a large woman who looked more like his mother than his wife, tried to inject gracious remarks here and there in the stream of George’s witty stories, but his loud voice was as hard on them as it was on Eddie Duchin’s orchestra. George was a big man of thirty five who looked rather like a redskin himself, with a blanket replaced by evening dress, and a bottle of fire-water by a martini glass. At the end of each story he would let out a self-appreciative haw-haw-haw and then clap Leslie on the back with such enthusiasm that Leslie would crumple over the table like a paper angel. Dinner ended, George asked Mrs. Howard to dance and Leslie and I were left alone at the table regarding each other. I opened the conversation: “I hate my dress. Bernard Newman at Bergdorf-Goodman talked me into buying it – but it’s much too young for me.” Leslie studied my lettuce green organza evening dress with its full skirt, short sleeves, and baby collar. I turned in my chair to show him the bow in back. “What do you usually wear?” he asked. “Oh, something white and glittery with no back and cut down to here in front.” He thought about this for a moment and then we both laughed and had another glass of champagne. He had become suddenly, brilliantly alive. His famous watchful eyes began to sparkle mischievously as we compared our impressions of Hollywood. As much as I, he detested having to sit most of the day in the studio waiting for sets and lights to be changed. And then he talked about the theatre, how he dreaded having to study a new part, how slow he was at learning his lines. I laughed in disbelief. “You’re kidding me!” “No, it’s perfectly true,” he said. “I wasn’t cut out to be an actor. I haven’t the energy for acting – it’s too exhausting.” When Mrs. Howard and George returned from their dance and observed our happy intimacy, they decided to take us home. In the cab, Mrs. Howard and I sat on the back seat facing George and Leslie on the jump seats. My knees touched Leslie’s and we smiled at each other. But I knew when we said goodnight that I would not see him again. It would be too exhausting. It was the recognition of this same threatening exhaustion in Humphrey, I think, that touched Leslie’s heart, leading him to force Jack Warner to give Humphrey the Duke Mantee part when The Petrified Forest was filmed. Furthermore, whereas from the beginning of his career Leslie had confessed his lack of energy and let it work for him in the creation of the quiet, natural actor, he saw that Humphrey fought his weakness, trying ineffectually to emulate the dynamic style of most successful actors. All this he conveyed to Humphrey in the direction of the play. And once he grasped the idea that he too might achieve success with some version of natural acting, Humphrey went about its contrivance with the cunning of a lover. For all actors know that truly natural acting is rejected by the audience. Although people are better equipped to judge acting than any other art, the hypocrisy of ‘sincerity’ prevents them from admitting that they too are always acting some part of their own invention. To be a successful actor, then, it is necessary to add some eccentricities and mystery to naturalness so that the audience can admire and puzzle over something different from itself. Leslie’s eccentricities were his passion for his pipe and his rather queer clothes. The mystery of his indestructible poise was the question of whether as an actor he wasn’t playing a huge joke on everyone and getting paid for it. Bogart’s eccentricities were the use of his mouth and speech. The mysterious ingredient of his poise was the moment of explosion. Leslie would have become less by revealing himself; by revealing himself, Bogart became more. In doing research on Humphrey I was amazed to read the number of his ‘recreations’. He played golf, tennis, bridge, chess. He sailed. He read books! Except on one occasion, the only thing I ever saw him do was sit and drink and talk with people. That one occasion was an evening in New York when he and I, Blyth Daly and Alice Brady played what Alice innocently called bridge in her apartment on East Fifty-Seventh Street. To begin with, she never stopped talking. Then as soon as the cards were dealt she would get up to mix drinks. After the bidding she would get up to empty ashtrays. When she was dummy she would go to the piano to play and sing in her French mother’s tongue. At any time at all she would jump up with all her bracelets jingling to fly at one of her four yapping wire-haired fox terriers, who substituted her ivory satin window draperies for trees and lamp-posts. We were all relieved when her doorbell rang and Elsie Ferguson, with her handsome actor husband, came in for a nightcap after the theatre. The bridge game was over. Sipping a brandy across the room from me, Elsie was as beautiful in 1930 as she had been in films in 1918. And it was with the old film charm that she said goodnight a few minutes later, leaving Alice sitting on her husband’s lap. “How long have Alice and Elsie’s husband known each other?” I asked Humphrey as we left the apartment building. He looked at me blankly. It was Blyth who answered, “You idiot, they just met!” That blank look of Humphrey’s was the key to his attitude towards sex. He was so contemptuous of other men’s needs to publicise their amorous triumphs that he refused to notice them. Being himself supremely confident of his own attractiveness to women, he scorned every form of demonstrativeness. When a woman appealed to him, he waited for her like the flame waits for the moth. “Man survives earthquakes, epidemics, the horrors of war, and all the agonies of the soul,” wrote Tolstoi, “but the tragedy that has always tormented him, and always will, is the tragedy of the bedroom.” It was security in sex that preserved Humphrey’s ego for success after he had endured, three times longer than any actor known to history, the bitterest humiliation, ridicule and failure. Certainly, no other actor could have read those two speeches in Across the Pacific with his peculiar emphasis. When Greenstreet showed him his gun, Bogey produced his and said, “My gun is bigger than your gun.” And again later when he pulled his gun on Greenstreet, he said, “I told you-mine is bigger than yours.” Each of Humphrey’s wives was fittingly chosen to meet the trials of his career. When he began to act and had so much to learn about the theatre, he married Helen Menken, the star of Seventh Heaven. Helen’s white thin face was always ecstatically lifted up to her vision of the Drama. I never heard her talk about anything except the art of the theatre. They were divorced in 1927 after Helen had become a sensation in The Captive, closed by the district attorney on its 160th performance because of its lesbian theme. Humphrey worked that year the twelve pitiful performances of a comedy, Baby Mine, in which Roscoe Arbuckle tried to erase the scandal that had driven him from Hollywood. Except for a two-week revival of Saturday’s Children in 1928, Humphrey did not work again on Broadway until 1929 when, with his new wife, Mary Phillips, he appeared in Skyrocket, which closed after eleven performances. “The art of the theatre” having become a sore subject, Mary was exactly right for him during the time he required comfort more than inspiration. Besides Leslie Howard, no other person contributed so much to Humphrey’s success as his third wife, Mayo Methot. He found her at a time of lethargy and loneliness when he might have gone on playing secondary gangster parts at Warner Brothers for a year and then out. But he met Mayo and she set fire to him. Those passions – envy, hatred and violence – which were essential to the Bogey character, which had been simmering beneath his failure for so many years, she brought to a boil, and blew the lid off all his inhibitions forever. Part of her mission was accomplished under my direct observation. In October 1935, I left the Persian Room in New York, where I had been dancing with Dario, to make a test for the Republic Studio in Hollywood for a film, Dancing Feet. On the day after the test was completed and seen, the studio gave the part I had tested for to a blonde girl who couldn’t dance. Having little money and no more faith in myself, I stayed on in Hollywood for lack of a better plan. I was living at the Ronda apartments, and one day I strolled down the street to the Garden of Allah, into the sitting room of Robert Benchley’s cottage, and there was Humphrey sitting on the floor, leaning against a sofa, with a glass of Scotch and soda in his hand. He had little to say about his part in The Petrified Forest, which was in production at Warner Brothers. Two unsuccessful experiences in Hollywood did not allow him to feel optimistic. Not feeling optimistic either was a boy from the M-G-M studio who had been sent to pick up a script that Bob had not yet begun to write. The following evening I received a phone call from Mary Huntoon, who was my old friend and a niece of Dwight Deere Wiman the theatrical producer. She said Humphrey and she were having a drink at her house (she had just become his agent), and that Humphrey would like me to join them. Coming from anyone else the invitation would have meant that two bored people wanted company. Coming from Humphrey it was nothing less than a declaration of love. Full of curiosity, I hastened to the scene. It was not a happy one. Humphrey was so intuitive about women that, after a glowing welcome, he retreated slowly into gloom and silence and Scotch, leaving the conversation to Mary and me. Riding home in the cab, I thought about the difference between Humphrey and me. He could love only a woman he had known a long time or, what amounted to the same thing, one who was flung at him in the intimacy of a play or film. To me, love was an adventure into the unknown. The Petrified Forest had been released and Humphrey had made a solid hit in it when I next saw him. It was early in the year of 1936 at the Beverly Hills home of Eric Hatch, who had written My Man Godfrey. When I went into the dining room, Eric and his wife, Mischa Auer and his wife, and Humphrey were sitting at the table. Mrs. Hatch got up to pour me a cup of after-dinner coffee. As I drank it I watched Humphrey, whom I had never seen in such an emotional state. Everyone else was watching him too. Then the doorbell rang and, as if on cue, we all got up and went downstairs into the vaulted living room to meet Mayo Methot who was entering from the hall. No moth was she! She burned in a sheath of peacock blue silk. That night, instead of our usual talk and laughter, we became an audience galvanised by a scene of the most passionate love played out between Mayo and Humphrey without so much as a touch of hands. Drinks were mixed and seats were taken as Mayo moved restlessly to the gramophone and put on an old Argentine tango, Adios Muchachos. Her dance with Mischa began as a burlesque, with him throwing her about and glaring lustfully into her eyes. Gradually, however, her exquisitely persuasive body began to rule his movements and they danced in the falling arcs, the slow recoveries, and the voluptuous pauses of the true tango. The spell was broken by a maid, who announced that Mayo’s husband had telephoned to say that he was on his way to the house. Humphrey sprang from the sofa to whisk her away – but wait! She had taken off her slippers to dance, and now one of them could not be found. Everybody searched for it except me, which must have aroused Humphrey’s suspicions because quite suddenly he lunged at me with the most hideous face, rasping, “God damn you, Louise, tell us where you hid Mayo’s slipper!” I was too stunned by this strange and violent Humphrey to speak. Fortunately, at this moment Mischa stretched up to an oak beam, which no one else was tall enough to reach, and brought down the slipper. The lovers fled out by the back door as the front doorbell rang once again. It was in New York in December of 1943 that I was to see Humphrey for the last time. I was dining at the restaurant ‘21’ with Townsend Martin. Between the dinner and the supper hour, the bar was empty when Mayo and Humphrey came in and stood briefly at our table to say hello and tell us that they were on their way to Africa to entertain the troops. I was shocked to see how dreadfully Humphrey’s face had aged. The effects of the war he had waged against his inertia – work and whisky without sleep and food – were visible at last. Mayo looked as though she had just gotten out of bed with her clothes on. Her suit was rumpled, her hair not combed, her face not made up. They sat at a table in a far corner of the room as if they wanted to be alone, yet they neither spoke nor looked at each other till their drinks were brought to the table. Then Mayo turned to speak fiercely to Humphrey as if she were continuing some argument that could never be resolved. Slumped against the banquette, unmoved, he stared at his hand slowly turning his glass round and round on the table. It was plain that the team of ‘The Battling Bogarts’ was soon to break up. He was Bogey now, his character firmly set, capable of battling alone. With the release of Casablanca, Humphrey Bogart had become big business. It was time for Lauren Bacall, who was primarily a business woman, to make her entrance. She, who was also to become his perfect screen partner, as seductive as Eve, as cool as the serpent. My most vivid remembrance of the living Humphrey Bogart is of a night in New York at Tony’s restaurant on Fifty Second Street. I went in about one and sat at a table near Humphrey, who was sitting in a booth with Thomas Mitchell. It was a few weeks before The Petrified Forest would close in June 1935, and Humphrey had nothing to look forward to except summer stock in Skowhegan, Maine. Presently Mitchell paid his bill and went out, leaving Humphrey alone drinking steadily with weary determination. His head drooped lower and lower. When I left he had fallen into his exhausted sleep with his head sunk in his arms on the table. “Poor Humphrey,” I said to Tony, “he’s finally licked.” My most vivid remembrance of the screen Humphrey Bogart is of a scene in his greatest film, The Treasure of Sierra Madre. He lies in the dirt, about to drag himself to the water hole. He has endured everything to get his gold-and now must he give it up? Wide open, the tragic eyes are raised to heaven in a terrible, beseeching look. “Despised and the most abject of men.” In the agony of that beautiful face I see the face of my St. Bogart.",0

And that was the message Reagan always talked. I mean he always seemed to be able to talk over the elites. He was able to talk straight to the American people. And I got to tell you, he was also a president who understood the importance of symbolism, understood the importance of the American story and almost turning it into American myth. One of Reagan‘s greatest speeches along with the Challenger speech was the speech that he delivered here, in the cemetery where we‘re standing tonight over the beaches of Normandy. Right behind me, Omaha Beach where the United States gave a great example to Americans. You know Ronald Reagan was always fond of saying, “America‘s like a city shining brightly on a hill for all the world to see.” And Reagan came here and delivered that same message to Normandy 20 years ago. And I‘ll tell you right now that‘s a message that‘s less—are being sent out across the world. People remembering Ronald Reagan as really one of the most popular presidents in modern, American history. HOLT: And Joe. SCARBOROUGH: Lester? LESTER HOLT, MSNBC ANCHOR: .and Joe, I know you have been there watching the D-Day commemoration events, has word begun to circulate of the death of Ronald Reagan there. I realize it‘s, I guess, 12:01 there. SCARBOROUGH: Well, it‘s awfully late here. Obviously, though, Lester, up and down the coastline, fire works are going off. Of course, this is really—this is -- 60 years ago, at this very moment, American troops were starting to come forward in the darkness and launch this invasion plan. And up and down the coast, there are veterans, veterans from Middle America, veterans from Illinois, from California, from all the states that were Reagan American. And the message is starting to filter through there. Obviously, they feel like they lost one of their own. They lost one of the greatest presidents they believe from the greatest generation. HOLT: Joe Scarborough, host of “SCARBOROUGH COUNTRY” here on MSNBC, from Colleville-sur-Mer, France. Joe, thanks very much. We are learning a bit more about President Bush, now and his reaction to the death of Ronald Reagan. Let‘s go on the phone now to NBC White House correspondent David Gregory traveling with the president in France— David. DAVID GREGORY, NBC WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: Lester, just a short time ago, the White House summoned reporters to the U.S. Ambassador‘s residence here in Paris. The president will make a statement on camera, to the American people, indeed to the world, within the hour, marking the death of President Reagan. Officials telling us that the president was informed by his chief of staff, Andy Card, and that the president told Card, “This is”—quote—“a sad day for America.” Officials have also been telling me in the past few minutes, that the president has been trying to reach Nancy Reagan by phone. It‘s not clear whether he‘s been successful in doing that but he certainly wanted to pass on his condolences to the Reagan family and will do so in a formal way, on camera, in a statement that indeed will be made to the nation and the world in about—well, certainly within an hour. That‘s the latest from Paris, Lester. HOLT: All right, David Gregory traveling with President Bush in France. And the many statements of tribute and reaction continue to pour in. This from former President Gerald Ford on the death of Ronald Reagan: “Betty and I are deeply saddened by the passing of our long time friend, President Reagan. Ronald Reagan was an excellent leading during challenging times at home and abroad. We extend our deepest condolences and prayers to Nancy and his family.” From former Prime Minister Thatcher in England: “President Reagan was one of my closest political and my dearest, personal friends. He will be missed not only by those who knew them, and not only by the nation that he served so proudly and loved so deeply, but also by millions of men and women who live in freedom today because of the policies he pursued.” That again from former Prime Minister, Thatcher in England. Doris Kearns Goodwin is an MSNBC analyst and a presidential historian who has been with us throughout our coverage. The relationship that President Reagan had with Margaret Thatcher, in terms of their partners during the Cold War, was a very close one. DORIS KEARNS GOODWIN, MSNBC ANALYST/PRESIDENTIAL HISTORIAN: Oh, there‘s no question about it. You could watch the two of them together and you could feel that there was kind of a flirtation in that relationship in all the best sense of the word. She loved the idea that he loved her as a leader equal and on par with him. I think he respected her enormously. And they both had that bull-headed approach to their conservative philosophy, so that they believed in it and they believed the countries would be changed as a result of their philosophies. HOLT: Pat Buchanan, MSNBC analyst, was also Reagan‘s communications director during his administration. And Pat joins us now from Washington. Pat, first of all, our condolences to you and please share your reaction. PAT BUCHANAN, MSNBC ANALYST: Well, I was—I‘m very saddened by it. I think we‘ve lost a good man and a great president. Ronald Reagan was, of course, the leader of our movement, the conservative movement, even before he became president. It was an honor to serve him, being in his White House. I was there with him at Geneva, at his first meeting with Gorbachev, and then at that famous second meeting at Reykjavik. I truly believe Ronald Reagan‘s ideas and his policy and his courage and his commitment guided us through to a peaceful resolution of the Cold War. And I think it‘s one of the great achievements of any president of the 20th century. He was a good man, as I say, with good humor, and we really loved him. HOLT: We were speaking here—Doris and I were speaking earlier, this was a man who didn‘t blink. He didn‘t blink with the Soviets. He didn‘t blink with PATCO. He didn‘t blink with the Libyans. Did his adversaries sometimes underestimate him? BUCHANAN: I think they did. At Reykjavik, where I was with President Reagan, they knew that Ronald Reagan wanted to get rid of nuclear weapons. He hated them. He thought they were ruinous and destructive. And Gorbachev made him an offer there to remove nuclear weapons, offensive weapons on both sides. And Reagan was agreeing to it. When they pulled out the trick, Gorbachev did, you‘re going to have to give up the defense of your country, SDI, and Reagan banged that table. And he got out—and I saw him when he came out of the room with Gorbachev. His face was the face—I mean the mask of rage. I‘ve never seen Reagan quite as angry as I saw him then, Lester. But you know, we drove for 45 minutes to the Keflibic (ph) Airbase and Reagan was still smoldering and he walked out in front and there must have been 5,000 airmen and their wives, and they roared and cheered. They had been waiting for hours, and he lit up. And all the way home, it passed. He put him behind him. On the flight home, after this summit, which had exploded, Ronald Reagan was telling me and Tony Dolan jokes about Hollywood and trading stories. He was just a marvelous man, but he stood up for what he believed in. He was not going to give up the defense of his country. And when he stood up for it, he was angry about what Gorbachev had done, but I think he was proud he had stood up. And I really think it was the finest hour of his presidency. HOLT: And Pat Buchanan, if you‘ll hang there just for a moment, I want to note—we just showed a picture from the White House that was taped just a short time ago of the flag now at half staff. Again, this picture taken just a short time ago of the flag at half staff above the White House this evening. It‘s now a little after 6:00 here on the U.S. East Coast as we continue to cover the death of President Ronald Reagan who passed away at 93. CNBC‘s Lawrence Kudlow was also an economic advisor for President Ronald Reagan and Lawrence joins us now to share his thoughts on this historic day. LAWRENCE KUDLOW, CNBC CORRESPONDENT: Hello, Lester. Well, of course, I‘m a little saddened myself. I agree with what my friend, Pat Buchanan, is saying. But on the other hand, Reagan‘s greatness will transcend the ages. I firmly believe he‘ll go down as, you know, one of our top five or six or seven presidents. And he really did change the world. He was able to get the United States back on its feet again, in economic terms, in moral terms, and he parlayed that—he parlayed that into a very strong defense posture that ultimately caused the unwinding of the Soviet Union. Here‘s a thought. I‘m sure others will make it, but let me try. Reagan understood that the economy at home was the source of American power overseas, that other countries would look at us. Could the United States afford a military buildup? Could the United States slug it out with the Soviet Union in Asia, in Central America, in South America and elsewhere? Literally, after 15 years of stag inflation, would the United States have the economic power to really fight and ultimately win the Cold War? And that was the basis of President Reagan‘s thinking. He saw exactly in those stark terms, first we start here, and rebuild the U.S. economy and then we‘re going to take it to the Soviet Union. I think it‘s a remarkable—absolute remarkable paradigm. HOLT: But Lawrence, you‘ll acknowledge as well that there were those who felt left out of the Reagan Revolution, who felt that the cost, of course, of spending so much on defense left huge cuts in social programs. Does that mar the legacy? KUDLOW: No, I actually don‘t agree with that point-of-view. HOLT: But you acknowledge that it was there. KUDLOW: No. I mean in factual terms, Lester, I was associate director of the Office of Management and Budget. All those social programs increased significantly but all that President Reagan did was slowed down their growth rate. His critics, like Tip O‘Neill and other liberals, argued until they were blue in the face, but ultimately the electorate rejected the critics and went with Reagan‘s program. Reagan lowered taxes to stimulate the economy. He deregulated oil to stimulate the economy. As you yourself mentioned a moment ago, he stood tough in the PATCO debate, the air transport controllers, in order to reduce the union power, which at the time, was strangling the economy. Now, he created tremendous—look, I—we got about 20 million new jobs created in the 1980‘s and the U.S. economy increased by about a third. It was really quite a remarkable performance. And he and Paul Volcker slayed the dragon of inflation, which had stopped the American economy from the prior 15 years. HOLT: Lawrence Kudlow from CNBC, former Reagan administration economic advisor. Lawrence, thanks very much. We want to learn more a bit more about this cruel disease, Alzheimer‘s that has claimed the life of President Reagan today, a struggle that was 10 years long. NBC‘s chief science correspondent Robert Bazell is in New Orleans this evening to tell us a bit more—Bob. ROBERT BAZELL, NBC CHIEF SCIENCE CORRESPONDENT: Good evening, Lester. I think President Reagan will, in many ways, become the symbol of a disease that‘s all too well known to millions of American families. The best estimate right now is that 41/2 million Americans suffer from the ravages of Alzheimer‘s disease and that situation is only going to go worse as the population ages because right now there‘s very few effective treatments. There‘s four medications. They don‘t do very much at all. And it seems to be an inevitable consequence of a certain percentage of the population, as they age—and some people are estimating that by the year 2050, more than 14 million Americans are going to have Alzheimer‘s, unless science finds something about this. Now, of course, there is an enormous will to find some way to treat or prevent Alzheimer‘s disease. And I think Mr. Reagan‘s condition shows just how variable the condition can be. A lot of people are diagnosed with Alzheimer‘s and they die very quickly. Others live on, as the former president did for many, many years. And I think it‘s—a lot of it is a testament to his enormous physical stamina, that he was able to survive with Alzheimer‘s for as long as he did because he—don‘t forget he was diagnosed at least 10 years ago. And I think historians will argue for a long time how much—and particularly over the years as scientists learn more about Alzheimer‘s, historians will argue how much of his presidency was influenced, if at all, by the disease as it progressed, because as we now learn more about Alzheimer‘s disease, we find out that it‘s something that develops slowly. It starts with a little bit of memory loss, and then goes on until it completely destroys a person‘s memory and personality. These pictures here were the last pictures of the Reagan family, allowed, of Mr. Reagan, before—he then was just kept in is he collusion and not allowed to see photographers. I know there‘s a picture that was taken in Los Angeles in 1997. By that time, he was clearly well into the final phases of the disease, even though he persisted for a long time. In 2001 -- in early 2001, he suffered a hip fracture, which is a common problem among Alzheimer‘s patients and often they don‘t recover but he—because they don‘t have—aren‘t able to undergo physical rehabilitation. But he was such a physically powerful person that he survived the hip fracture after he had Alzheimer‘s disease, just as though · just as he had survived the assassination attempt in his presidency. So this was a man that had enormous physical constitution. And that is part of the reason that he survived so long with this disease that ravages the brain. Nancy Reagan had said publicly that the Ronald Reagan that she knew for so many years was long gone and that he had simply had no idea who was around him or what was happening in his environment. And that‘s, of course, a very common way that this disease ends up as it progresses. It robs humans of their personality. It robs them of their memory. And it‘s something that‘s one of the worst things that most of us can imagine happening to us. When it happens, in most families who don‘t have enormous amounts of resources, it can be a terrible burden. The best estimates right now, Lester, are that between the cost of just caring for the people with Alzheimer‘s that we have in the United States now exceed $130 billion a year. And because the disease is going to continue to increase in numbers as the population ages, this is a problem that‘s only going to get much worse. Scientists have a lot of will. There‘s a lot of political will. There‘s a lot of research money to try to understand Alzheimer‘s disease: who gets it, why do you get it and even exactly how it affects the brain because those are still outstanding questions. And I think that most of us now when we think of Alzheimer‘s, beyond thinking of those in our immediate family who have it, we‘re going to be thinking of those last pictures that we‘re seeing now of Ronald Reagan and how it destroyed somebody, who was obviously highly intelligent and of course, and enormously, physically, powerful man—Lester. HOLT: All right. NBC‘s chief science correspondent Robert Bazell in New Orleans. Bob, thanks very much. We should note that flags are being lowered to half staff in many places, and especially in Washington. This is the live picture of the U.S. capital and the American flag now at half staff, as it is when we showed you a while ago, at the White House. Also, I see on another monitor in Elmont New York, at the Belmont Stakes, the flag as well there is flying at half staff as America begins to mark and to mourn the passing of Ronald Wilson Reagan who left us today at the age of 93 after his 10-year long bout with Alzheimer‘s disease. This is continuing expanded coverage of the death of President Reagan on MSNBC. I‘m Lester Holt and we‘re here with Doris Kearns Goodwin, presidential historian, General Barry McCaffrey and Pat Buchanan with some more thoughts in Washington, as well. We‘ll be talking to all of them, but first, let me go back to France where it is 15 minutes after midnight. It is now June 6, 2004, and MSNBC‘s Joe Scarborough is there covering this 60th anniversary, and the impact—imprint that Ronald Reagan left on the modern anniversaries of that horrific day—Joe. SCARBOROUGH: Yes, he certainly did. And you know Ronald Reagan understood, again, more than anybody the importance of dates like D-Day. And it shaped Ronald Reagan. He had a—he had an overly simplistic view of the world, according to his critics. He believed in good and evil. And you know he, of course, talked about the evil empire. And there are an awful lot of people, including Mikhail Gorbachev, who made the mistake of underestimating Ronald Reagan. From the very beginning of his presidency, he was considered an amiable dunce. But Reagan played right into it. He considered it a compliment, that people would underestimate him. In fact, when he addressed Harvard University at one time, he spoke before the class, “You‘re the best and the brightest in America.” And he stood there and talked about his poor education, how he wasn‘t such a smart guy, how he was intimidated to be speaking to the class at Harvard. And there he was with the seal of the United States of America, the president on there. And he said, “You know, sometimes I ask myself, what I may have achieved if I‘d only gotten a good education.” And of course, at Reykjavik, he had Mikhail Gorbachev underestimating him, trying to hammer him, trying to have him give up SDI, have him give up the deployment of Cruise missiles in Western Europe. Reagan flatly turned him down. And of course, he had an awful lot of critics in the mainstream media, saying that he was a war monger, that he was dangerous, that he was leading the world to the third world war. Reagan stuck to his guns. Gorbachev continued to underestimate him until he finally figured out that Reagan may have a nice smile, but it was an iron smile. And he stared Gorbachev down and three, four years later, the Soviet Union collapsed, Eastern Europe collapsed. And Ronald Reagan helped usher in a new post Cold War era. And I think most historians looking back on Reagan‘s legacy are going to say that this fairly simple man helped bring down the Soviet Union. And that‘s going to be one of Reagan‘s great, lasting legacies HOLT: Joe, we will obviously, in today and the days to come, see the devotion of outpouring towards Ronald Reagan. But we even saw a glimpse of fierce devotion, if you recall when there was this CBS movie that was to be aired. Have we ever seen that kind of protective instinct among political supporters as we‘ve seen for this man? SCARBOROUGH: Well, you know, it certainly seems like, you know, centuries ago that Americans had that type of devotion for a president. Of course, Americans remember John Kennedy fondly after his death. After Ronald Reagan left the White House, they remembered him fondly. But you know, it seems these days where you have the division over George Bush, and before him, the division over Bill Clinton, you had such a divided America. Ronald Reagan, of course, in 1984, was reelected by a land slide, won by 49 states. And one of my favorite pictures of Reagan was when he went in to Boston, Massachusetts, went into a pub there, held up a beer, smiled, toasted everybody and had a drink of it because it just showed Reagan was every man‘s man. Reagan didn‘t care whether you were a Democrat or whether you were a Republican, you know. He just had a common touch and it‘s what made him so popular. And again, if you look at these veterans, here and I‘ll guarantee you tomorrow, as they file into the cemetery tomorrow morning, early, to commemorate the 60th anniversary of D-Day, every veteran here is going to be talking about Ronald Reagan, what he meant to them, what he meant to America, what he meant to the world and what made him great. And that was that he had the common touch and he knew how to boil down a huge idea into a small story or vignette. He, of course, was the first state president at the State of the Union addresses that would actually point to somebody up in the audience or would read a letter or as we saw in our piece a few minutes ago, would talk about an individual D-Day hero and what made that hero great. And he would take that example, and expand it out into a value that all Americans could understand, that they could believe in and again would feed into this vision that Ronald Reagan had, almost a mythical vision of America, again, as that city shining brightly on the hill for all the world to see. And that‘s why tomorrow, I‘ll tell you what, people are going to be remembering what happened 60 years ago, but a lot of these veterans are going to be remembering the Gipper. HOLT: And Joe, remain with me if you will. Let me bring Pat Buchanan in Washington. He was the communications director for President Ronald Reagan. Not speaking politically but in style, Pat, did President Reagan raise the bar for his successors, in terms of style? BUCHANAN: Oh, I‘m afraid he did enormously. He had that rich voice. He was the great communicator. You know, as with TR, Teddy Roosevelt once said when he went down the Amazon River, “This is my last chance to be a boy.” Reagan had, even though he was our oldest president, a tremendous boyish quality. You mentioned, Lester, about how protective a lot of Reaganites were about the president when CBS was going to do that show. They genuinely loved this man. Very, very rarely have you heard a group identified as—quote—Reagan Democrats. They‘re the fellows that Joe Scarborough was talking about in the pub in South Boston, probably raised Catholic, never voted for a Republican in their lives. Massachusetts went for Ronald Reagan. I remember when Ronald Reagan went out to Notre Dame. The Gipper arrived and they gave him his football uniform and he put on that jacket. He was like a big kid that had just got his letter there. And I think that was one of his—this boyish quality, this sense of humor, this ability to laugh at himself and to accept jokes about himself. At the same time, he was a serious man, about his ideas, and the world, and that boyish confidence, that can-do attitude. These things made him, I think, a loveable man as Peggy Noonan once said to me. And in fact, what you were talking about, Lester, you‘re exactly right that that rush to protect this good man, who left this life in as dignified and as gracious a way as anyone ever has, with the final letter to the country that had treated him so well and bidding it farewell and saying “I‘m not going to see you again in this world, but we‘ll see you in the next one, and God bless America.” This was a marvelous human being and I really think a great president. HOLT: And Joe Scarborough, before we let you go there in France, talk about what we should expect in the week to come here in the United States. SCARBOROUGH: Well, I think you‘re going to see a great outpouring of love and support. And I think you‘re going to see over the next week in America, a lot of what you‘re going to see tomorrow in D-Day. You know, I had a historian, a D-Day historian on earlier, we were talking to him. And he said, “You know the interesting thing is when people come to D-Day, there are tears, there are sadness, there are people remembering their loved ones that died on Omaha Beach, Utah Beach. But it‘s generally a joyous place.” And with all of these crosses here, over 9,300 crosses here, you come to the cemetery and it lifts your spirits. Over the next week, we‘re going to be hearing so many anecdotes about Ronald Reagan. I got to share with you very briefly, my favorite. It really is what made Ronald Reagan great. I mean, he was so confident in what he was saying and what he was doing and what he was believing, that it was right that he didn‘t care if people criticized him. I remember his biographer went out one year after he was out of the White House, he was driving up to his home in Bel Air, and he saw on the front page of “The L.A. Times,” an article that was criticizing Reagan on Iran-contra, blaming the deficit on Regan, and he said—Edmond Morris said, “I‘m going to get nothing out of this man, nothing. He‘s going to be so upset.” Nancy let him in. He walked onto the patio. Ronald Reagan was sitting there. His face was flushed. He was reading “The L.A. Times.” And Reagan said to Morris, “Have you seen ‘The L.A. Times‘ today?” And Morris said, “Yes, Mr. President, I‘ve seen ‘The L.A. Times.‘” Reagan flipped it over, threw him the front page, and pointed to the bottom of the page and said, “I can‘t believe the O‘Malleys would even think about selling the Dodgers to Murdock.” That‘s the type of guy he was. He never ever took the criticism personally. He always seemed to rise above it and that‘s what made Ronald Reagan the beloved leader that he is. HOLT: That‘s a great story. Joe Scarborough, in Colleville-sur-Mer, France. Thank you very much, Joe, appreciate it. Ronald Reagan and his wife, Nancy, had one of those—one of the closest relationships of any couple that has occupied the White House. And her role in the administration often took a bigger dimension than that of a typical first lady. We get more from NBC‘s Andrea Mitchell. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) RONALD REAGAN, FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: Thank you for just being you. (APPLAUSE) ANDREA MITCHELL, NBC CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): It was an old-fashioned romance, a love affair so storybook, it started in Hollywood. She says her life didn‘t really begin until she met him. He says, if he hadn‘t met her, after his first marriage ended, he would have lost his soul. R. REAGAN: What do you say about someone who gives your life meaning? What do you say about someone who is always there, with support and understanding? MITCHELL: To her, he was Ronnie. She says all she ever wanted in a man. NANCY REAGAN, WIFE: And his greatest find, I don‘t think there‘s anything in the world he can‘t do. MITCHELL: To him, she was indispensable, a partner, advocate, counselor, protector, even at times, prompter. N. REAGAN: Doing everything we can. R. REAGAN: Doing everything we can. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: They were so in love with each other. It truly was one of the most amazing love affairs I ever witnessed, two people just so mad about each other. MITCHELL: They met in 1949. She, an actress, he, the recently divorced head of the Screen Actors Guild, by then acting mostly in B-movies. Three years later, they married. In her autobiography, Nancy Reagan says, “Almost from the day I met him, Ronald Reagan has been the center of my life.” No matter how busy, or pressured, they always found time for romance and surprise. R. REAGAN: And brought it down to five percent and we‘re holding it to seven percent. You were getting laughs. CROWD: Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday. MITCHELL: Friends say without Nancy, there never would have been a Governor Reagan or a President Reagan. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I always said about Nancy Reagan, if Ronald Reagan had owned a shoe store, she‘d be pushing shoes. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It truly was a marriage made in heaven. Even at the ranch, even in the quiet moments, there was a bond, a chemistry that radiated true love between the two of them. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: People have made fun of Nancy for looking up at the president and never taking her eyes off him. That was not a political thing. She always looked at him when he spoke. It was like a total devotion that one had to the other. MITCHELL: Fiercely protective, especially after the assassination attempt, she was his political radar. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: She gave him support in every aspect of his life. She watched out for him. She made sure that the staff people that were around him were attentive and were following his agenda not their own. N. REAGAN: I think I‘m aware of people who are trying to take advantage of my husband, who are trying end run him lots of times, who are trying to use him. I‘m very aware of that. All my little antennas go up. MITCHELL: While remote to most people, even his own children, with her, he was sentimental, even corny, leaving love notes around the White House. And he wasn‘t shy about acknowledging the importance of their marriage. R. REAGAN: So Nancy, in front of all your friends here today, let me say, thank you for all you do. Thank you for your love and thank you for just being you. (APPLAUSE) MITCHELL: When it was time to leave the stage, they did it together, saying goodbye to the White House and to politics. R. REAGAN: My fellow Americans, on behalf of both of us, goodbye and God bless each and every one of you, and God bless this country we love. (APPLAUSE) MITCHELL: But the storybook romance would not have a storybook ending. Ronald Reagan left Washington for twilight of fading memories, relying more than ever on his wife. R. REAGAN: I was a bit concerned that after all these years away from Washington, you all wouldn‘t recognize me. MITCHELLL: By the end, she was suffering at his side, nurse, caretaker, keeper of the flame. N. REAGAN: Each day brings another reminder of this very long goodbye. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I think it has been extremely difficult. But I think, also, she never questioned, for one second, that that was her task. MITCHELL: Because for them, in sickness and in health, it was always just Nancy and Ronnie, a true love affair. Andrea Mitchell, NBC News, Washington. (END VIDEOTAPE) HOLT: Doris Kearns Goodwin, has there—was there a comparable relationship between first lady and president to that love affair or that marriage? GOODWIN: There‘s very few because I think when you become President, the public part of your life becomes so absorbing, there‘s not a lot of room for the private life. Your success, your ambition takes over and that‘s much of the relationships that we have among Presidents and First Ladies. Perhaps Abigail and John Adams had that kind of an intense romantic bond that you could almost feel through their letters. We see it through watching these two on video and interestingly enough, of course, as Reagan has now died on the eve of D-Day, another huge event in our lives, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson died on July 4th. So there‘s something about the conjunction of these timings of things that make it quite extraordinary. HOLT: There is a confluence of history going on here. Doris, thanks very much. It‘s 6:30 Eastern time, 3:30 Pacific. This is MSNBC‘s continuing coverage of the death of President Reagan. We want to go to California right now. NBC‘s Mark Mullen is outside the Reagan family home in Bel Air. Mark? MARK MULLEN, NBC NEWS CORRESPONDENT: Lester, good day to you. We‘re here in Bel Air outside the family compound and what an interesting turn of events which has happened today and even in the last hour based on just all of the activity which is coming here. We should tell you that over the last several weeks, there have been all kinds of rumors about the failing health of President Reagan, rumors which largely went unreported because there was simply no way to substantiate that and the bottom line anyway was there was nothing anyone could do as well except wait for the news, which as we all know by now, came just a short time ago. We understand that reportedly President Reagan died with both Nancy and at least two of his children at his bedside, Ron and his sister, as well, Michael Reagan was here earlier along with two grandchildren. But for all of the friends that the Reagan‘s knew, this was a very small and quiet family affair when President Reagan passed just a short time ago. Are people surprised at this passing? Perhaps yes, perhaps no. The Reagan‘s themselves actually did a good job of essentially telescoping the fact that there would be bad news down the road, starting with 10 years ago, when President Reagan wrote that poignant letter saying that he had Alzheimer‘s disease and that he would be slowly in his words, going into the sunset of his life. And not less than a month ago, Nancy Reagan, speaking at a fundraiser of stem cell research into possible Alzheimer‘s research also described what a toll that Alzheimer‘s had taken on her husband, essentially saying to the crowd there that she was no longer able to communicate with him. There has been no family spokesman coming out and making a statement as of yet, but we saw Ron Reagan‘s son, I was about to call him Junior, but technically he has a different middle name, Ron Reagan leaving just a short time ago. And essentially, Lester, a California scene if you will has sort of basically materialized right here, one that Ronald Reagan probably would not mind terribly much. You have news helicopters which are going overhead here in Bel Air, which is a very fancy part of Los Angeles anyway. You have tour busses, which continue to come by and show all of the celebrities‘ homes including Ronald Reagan. That may seem a little bit strange, it may seem a little bit quirky, California, but Ronald Reagan and his family love this state dearly with all of its eccentricities. Remember, this is the place that launched his movie career, a successful actor, a successful union leader, winning the Screen Actors Guild and of course, a very successful political career, both as Governor as California and as President later during an absolutely terrific time in this country. It is a state with all of its quirks that he liked very well. He probably would have liked the big show which is happening outside of his home right now. Lester, back to you. HOLT: And Mark, as we were told in planning for this day that the President would initially lie in state at the Library in Simi Valley. How far is that? I take that back. To be buried in Simi Valley. How far is that from Bel Air? MULLEN: Probably best guess is it‘s about - maybe about an hour, an hour and 15 minutes or so by best guess and they‘re still having to finalize the details. What you almost said, Lester, may in fact be the case. He may lay in state there and then in Washington before being buried, but obviously in this early goings, they‘re still trying to figure that out. But you know, greater Los Angeles, everything is about an hour away, so it‘s still considered right down the block here in southern California. HOLT: All right. Mark Mullen, outside the Reagan family home in Bel Air. Mark, keep us updated. Thank you very much. We are continuing to get reaction from all across the world and we‘re keeping our eye on the Bush family compound in Kennebunkport, Maine, where a former President Bush is expected to issue a statement shortly. You‘ll see the camera is set up there. When he makes that statement, you will hear it. I also want to let you know among the statements received from son, Michael Reagan, who was the adopted son of President Reagan‘s first marriage. I‘ll read just a part of what he said. “I remember with great clarity my father‘s emotion when Nellie Reagan, my grandmother, passed away. Until today, I didn‘t understand the feeling of loss and pain which comes when a parent leaves you. For this reason, I will not be making any public statements at this time.” And he simply goes on to say, “I pray that as America reflects the passing of my dad, they will remember a man of integrity, conviction and good humor.” That part of a written statement by son, Michael Reagan, about the passing of his father, President Ronald Reagan, at his home in California today. Doris Kearns Goodwin is continuing to stand here with me as we go through this coverage and look at a legacy of Ronald Reagan, and we were speaking earlier with Pat Buchanan about what influence the Reagan Presidency has had on future Presidents, his successors. I recall, and correct me if I‘m wrong, he was the first President in his State of the Union speeches in which he would have real people that he would point to, a firefighter, a soldier, a hero in the crowd and that has continued in every Presidency, right? GOODWIN: And to some extent, however, I think it really worked for Ronald Reagan, but after something gets used, it almost becomes a caricature. I mean, now when you go to the State of the Union, look around, you know some guy is going to be sitting there who‘s going to be called to bow. So I think it‘s one of those cases where a ritual that works because it‘s allowed Reagan to have a big story and a little story, and that‘s exactly what he did at D-Day when he talked about the rangers. Here‘s this huge D-Day thing and he boils it down to these rangers going up that unforgiven cliff. And that‘s what he did with his policy and pointing out to these people, but then when it becomes something that everybody does, they don‘t always have the same skill at using it. HOLT: It is so amazing and now we look at the time, the clock, it is June 6th right now in Normandy and we all recall that speech 20 years ago at Pondahok (ph). But before we continue that thought, let me take you to Maine right now and we‘re seeing former President George Bush and the former first lady now walking towards the cameras and the former President now will make a statement regarding the passing of the man he served under as Vice-President for eight years. GEORGE H.W. BUSH, FORMER PRESIDENT: This a very sad day for our country. I know Ronald Reagan has been ill for a long time and the finality of all of this is going to hit the American people very hard. And Barbara and I mourn the loss of a great President and for us a great friend. People ask me, well, what was so special about President Reagan? And on a personal basis, it was his kindness, his decency, his sense of humor, unbelievable and he had a wonderful way where you could disagree with him. He‘d had leaders in Congress or foreign leaders that he would disagree with and yet, he was never disagreeable about it himself. He was never mean-spirited and so he set a great example. I learned a great deal from him as his Vice-President for eight years. We‘d been political opponents and we became very close friends and every Wednesday, we‘d have lunch alone together and I‘ll never forget those lunches. There was no agenda. He didn‘t ask you to define different problems. It was just two people talking and he made me feel totally welcome, totally relaxed in his presence and he was great. And I might say, we have unlimited respect for Nancy Reagan for the way she has conducted herself and stood by the ailing President for so many years. She has shown a lot of courage, a lot of - a lot of responsibility and it‘s been a wonderful thing for Barbara and me to see, just to watch and to honor. Do you want to say something about anything? BARBARA BUSH, FORMER FIRST LADY: Well, I don‘t think I‘ve ever known anyone who was so innately polite. Ronald Reagan was a gentleman, certainly adored his wife. She should be very proud of that I think and we certainly send our love to Nancy. We talked to her today, so she knows we love her and we‘re missing her husband already. QUESTION: Mr. President, have you had a chance to talk to your son today at all from France? BUSH: No. I have not talked to him today. I‘ve just gotten back from England and of course, he‘s traveling in Rome and France. QUESTION: There‘s been said that all - many Republicans in Congress today, those in power, including your son, owe a debt to Ronald Reagan for helping to move the center to the right, talking about the compassionate conservative message that your son had. BUSH: Well, I think - I think both Presidents Bush learned a great deal from Ronald Reagan and I‘m sure that‘s a valid concept that President Bush, the President, has great respect for Ronald Reagan. He emulated him in the tax cuts that I now think are helping our economy to recover, but it was more than that. It was the same thing that Barbara and I are talking about, his respect for the man, his respect for his leadership, his respect for the human being that was Ronald Reagan. QUESTION: Mr. President, you spoke with Mrs. Reagan today. Can you tell us a little bit about how she‘s doing? BUSH: Well, we called her and it turned out to be just before he passed away and she‘s - you could tell she was under a strain. Barbara asked if her family was at their side, and she said, yes, they‘d gathered there and she made clear to us that his death was eminent, but it had not actually happened at the time. But I think she - I think she was sad, of course, and burdened, of course, by what she‘s undergoing, but she has been a wonderful, loyal friend and wife and they loved each other. It‘s so clear and obvious that they did. QUESTION: I‘m sorry. What kind of a debt do you think the United States owes to President Reagan now looking back? BUSH: Well, I don‘t know that there‘s a debt that our country owes to any President. I think Ronald Reagan himself would say that he was proud to be able to serve his country, but I think - I think history will give him great credit for standing for a few principals and standing firmly for those principals and thus setting an example for the American people, whether they agreed with him or not. It was wonderful the way he could - he could take a stand and as I said earlier, do it without bitterness or without creating enmity on the part of other people and today happens to be somewhat ironic because the speech that Ronald Reagan gave in France 10 years - no, how many years ago it was it now? At the D-Day celebration over there, it was unbelievable, it was so emotional. When he got back, I asked him, well, how in the world could you get through that beautiful, wonderful tribute to those - to those people that scaled the cliffs? And he said, well, I wrote it down and I just repeated it over and over again to try to get it through my mind and without getting too emotional myself about it. But there were many speeches for Ronald Reagan to just muster the best in us as a country, and maybe we should be - give him great credit for that. QUESTION: Sir, a lot of people are asking today whether or not, there have been folks who have proposed putting President Reagan on Mount Rushmore. They‘ve talked about different ways that the President should be honored. Have you given any thoughts as to what you think might be an appropriate memorial? BUSH: No, I really haven‘t, but I expect that a lot of . HOLT: We‘re listening to Former President Bush, but President Bush, he‘s in France right now and delivering a speech, audio only. We want to listen to it. GEORGE W. BUSH, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: During the years of President Reagan, America laid to rest an era of division and self doubt and because of his leadership, the world laid to rest an era of fear and charity. Now, in laying our leader to rest, we say thank you. He always told us that for America, the best was yet to come. We comfort ourselves in the knowledge that this is true for him too. His work is done and now, a shining city awaits him. May God Bless Ronald Reagan. HOLT: You‘ve been listening to audio only of a statement from President Bush in Paris. The President, of course, has been traveling in Europe and keep in mind, it‘s about 12:44 a.m. in France right now. Let‘s go back to Kennebunkport, the President‘s father, Former President Bush is still taking questions from reporters. BUSH: . very well and moved the process forward. So he got - he used the term “evil empire” and some of the liberals in New York were wringing their hands and going crazy, oh, this is terrible. This is the end of everything. He didn‘t now how to conduct foreign affairs. And sure enough, a lot happened on his watch that was very, very positive towards New World order towards peace. And so I think that - I think that the combination, of course, on the domestic side, his tax cut, I think he never was able to get the spending cuts that he wanted, but he did a lot in getting the 90 percent income taxes, my gosh, get those way down. And he did a great job on both domestic and foreign. I think - I don‘t know. That‘s a good question. I don‘t how to - what history will say on that. QUESTION: Mr. President, you mentioned you had a unique vantage point on the Reagan presidency detractors. Much has been made of course of the President‘s Alzheimer‘s in later years and his detractors, of course, have made an issue in claiming that there may have been some sort of mental deterioration while he was still in office. Can you address that issue? BUSH: Yes, I can say it‘s not true for certain and I was close in and I never detected anything like that at all. And yet I read the speculation, but I was there at his side, right up through his Presidency. So I don‘t know where that comes from and I, you know, some doctor knows it starts very early on and something like that, well, fine. But I - the answer to your question, no, I did not detect it or think it. And when I‘ve seen that reporter, I‘d say, hey, who are they talking to? QUESTION: Mr. President, what are your memories of the first time you met Ronald Reagan? BUSH: Oh, golly. I think I was Chairman of the Republican National Committee back in 1973 and ‘74 and he was Governor of California and I met him then. But we didn‘t really get close at that point, but I was head of the party and he was a big star of the Republican Party at that time as the Governor. What I remember is, you know, some of the same things I‘m talking about here. QUESTION: When was the last time you saw President Reagan, Mr. President? BUSH: I think it was about - do you remember, Barb? We went to call on him in California, but it was - oh gosh, I think after I left the White House, but I don‘t remember . B. BUSH: Early after, I think about ‘94 maybe. BUSH: Maybe ‘94 or ‘95, somewhere in there. B. BUSH: Don‘t swear to that. We‘re getting older. BUSH: All right? We got it? Thank you all for coming. Now I want you to turn your cameras off and we can get less serious and notice the (UNINTELLIGIBLE) coming in here as we . HOLT: That Former President Bush commenting on the passing of President Ronald Reagan and taking a number of questions there. These are two men who had a long relationship, eight years, for President Bush as Vice-President of course under Ronald Reagan. And again, passing their condolences to Nancy Reagan saying they had spoken with her apparently just moments before President Reagan passed today. We‘ve heard from the President as well in that audio only statement from France, and we‘re also told that the President was able to call and talk to Nancy Reagan and express his condolences over the phone. The President continuing his European trip. I want to bring in General Barry McCaffrey, retired U.S. Army General, to offer a bit more on how this country changed under Ronald Reagan. We were talking to Doris earlier about where America was and where Ronald Reagan wanted to take it. How did you feel it from your perspective as a career Army officer? BARRY MCCAFFREY, RETIRED U.S. ARMY GENERAL and MSNBC ANALYST: Well, you know, Lester, I think the low point, the absolute point of despair in my own personal, professional life was Desert One. I was a Battalion Executive Officer of a Mechanized (UNINTELLIGIBLE) in Germany at the time. Our inability . HOLT: Let‘s back up a second. Desert One was the attempt to rescue the Iranian hostages . MCCAFFREY: To rescue the Iranian hostages that occurred under President Carter‘s watch of course and the thing went badly awry, but it seemed to symbolize, not only for the United States, but for many of our allies, our inability to create military power, our, you know, self sort of serving way of dealing with the Soviet problem. We were at our low point and then if you flash forward, around 1981, when he came into office, things did start to get better. Now, arguably, there are many reasons for that, nothing to do with President Reagan. But inside the Armed Forces, by the time he left office, we had come back to where we were supposed to be, the defenders of the most powerful nation on the face of the earth. We were facing the Soviet Union at a time when they had dirt roads, elevators that wouldn‘t work, the place was a third-world nation with a giant Armed Forces, a giant space program and a giant drug-using group of Olympic athletes and that‘s about all they had going for them. I think he backed them down and our economic power, arguably is what he put in front, confronting the Soviet Union and they came apart. HOLT: General McCaffrey, thanks. Let‘s go to NBC‘s David Gregory, who is traveling with President Bush in France. David? GREGORY: Well, Lester, I‘m assuming for the moment that you were able to hear President Bush‘s comments about Ronald Reagan just a couple of minutes ago. Is that correct? HOLT: In fact, we were. We heard the audio only. GREGORY: Right. And we‘ll be seeing that tape in a matter of moments. What may not have come through from kind of a grainy cell phone connection was a President who was clearly emotional as he was recalling what he called a sad hour in the life of America, recalling the conviction and the courage and even the good humor of Ronald Reagan as President of the United States and a political figure who‘s had a tremendous influence on this President Bush, whose father of course served as Vice President to Ronald Reagan. President saying tonight in the course of his statement that he was able to speak from here in Paris to Nancy Reagan to express the condolences for both him and from Mrs. Bush on what he said was a very difficult night for the country. The President again speaking emotionally said that Ronald Reagan left behind a nation that he helped to restore and a world that he helped to save. He said that we can all take comfort in the fact that as Ronald Reagan said, the best is yet to come, and that perhaps that‘s indeed the case for him as well and also referred to another memorable phrase of Ronald Reagan‘s, calling America “that city on the hill”. Now President Bush said, that is the city we hope that is waiting for President Reagan. It is really difficult to overstate again, how much of a force the legacy of Ronald Reagan was for this President Bush as he confronts the war on terror, as he tried to advance an agenda of freedom in the greater Middle East. He often has recalled the words, the sentiments, the conviction of Ronald Reagan standing up to the Cold War and helping America to prevail in the Cold War. So he has fashioned himself, this President Bush has, as a leader very much in the spirit of Ronald Reagan and now he notes with great sadness his passing. Lester? HOLT: All right. David Gregory with the President in France where it‘s approaching 1:00 in the morning. David, thanks very much. We received a joint statement regarding the passing of President Reagan from Former President Bill Clinton and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and I‘ll read it to you. “Hillary and I will always remember President Ronald Reagan for the way he personified the indomitable optimism of the American people and for keeping America at the forefront of the fight for freedom for people everywhere. It is fitting that a piece of the Berlin Wall adorns the Ronald Reagan building in Washington.” The statement goes on to say, “President Reagan demonstrated his strength and resolve after leaving office when he shared his struggle with Alzheimer‘s disease with the world. We will always remember his tremendous capacity to inspire and comfort us in times of tragedy as he did after the loss of the space shuttle, Challenger.” That‘s part of the statement from Former President Bill Clinton and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. Now we want to get an update right now from Bel Air, California where President Reagan passed away this afternoon. NBC‘s Mark Mullen is outside the family home. Mark? MULLEN: Lester, we understand from an L.A. spokesperson just a short time ago that President Reagan‘s body is expected to leave this Bel Air compound anywhere from about 50 minutes from now to about one hour and 20 minutes. In the meantime, we should at least set the scene for you and tell you what is going on. Up until this moment, up until this very strange day today, there have been rumors circulating. I‘ll try and talk above the news helicopters, of the President‘s failing health. All of those rumors came to rest today as we learned the news that President Reagan had died, apparently with Nancy by his side and with at least two other children. One we saw leaving the compound just about 45 minutes ago. Michael Reagan, his other son from his first marriage, left just about five minutes ago in a red jeep and we have seen a couple of motorcades leaving here just a short time ago. Was this a surprise? There has been a lot of talk of this. People had known about the President‘s Alzheimer‘s, especially from that note which he had written 10 years ago in which he disclosed that and said that he would be entering the sunset period of his life. While Nancy Reagan spoke about three weeks ago in which he described what Alzheimer‘s had done to her husband, saying essentially that she was unable to communicate with him anymore. Since that time, over the last several days, there has been an increasing amount of rumors which have been flying around, rumors which President Reagan‘s spokesperson tried to at least put down, but all of that was answered today when we learned that the 40th President of the United States had passed away. Lester, as we send it back to you, we‘ll tell you that some people who have heard the news just on radio and on television have come up here to Bel Air to pay their respects. We spoke a little while ago to one woman from Illinois who felt a real kinship with President Reagan since he too had been borne in that state and said that she just wanted to come up and pay her respects. In the meantime, news helicopters continue to go overhead, tour busses, this is the home of Hollywood continuing to go by. Unconventional, yes; disrespectful, perhaps; but President Reagan loved everything about this state including all of its eccentric components and he might have approved of all of this today. We‘ll remind everyone that before he was such an accomplished politician, he was an accomplished actor as well. Back to you. HOLT: The ubiquitous helicopters and yes, somehow out of place on this day, but a fact of life. Mark Mullen in Los Angeles, in Bel Air, a section of Los Angeles, for us where the President, President Reagan passed away this afternoon. And we‘re approaching 7:00 Eastern time. Let me go to Pat Buchanan right now, who as we noted earlier, was Ronald Reagan‘s Communications Director. Ronald - Pat, I apologize, we‘re about to go into a period of mourning in this country and already where you are in Washington, the flags at half staff on the Capitol behind you. What will - what will - will politics be put aside for this week? What‘s the larger effect as we enter this period? BUCHANAN: Well, I don‘t know that it will be - there will an outpouring of grief, I think, Lester, and a tremendous outpouring of affection. We‘ve all been waiting for this moment for 10 years. I think as has been mentioned earlier, there was an extra dimension to Ronald Reagan. Some of his policies may have been controversial, but the tax cuts and the standing up to the Soviet Union, they triumph as policies, but above that, I think the man, especially in his later years after he left office, he found a place in America‘s heart. I think you‘re going to see an outpouring of love and affection, mixed with tears. If they have the funeral, I think the President of the United States will be out there. He‘ll deliver the eulogy. I think it will be a moment of national unity. That was a gracious statement of Bill and Hillary Clinton. I thought the President‘s statement in Paris, from what I heard, was eloquent and beautiful about Ronald Reagan now arriving at his own city on a hill. I think this is going to be a good moment for America. A lot of us are very saddened by this, but the more we think of what this man contributed to his country and what he means to the American people, I think it‘s going to be a real cause of national unity for this next week. HOLT: And you heard Former President Bush note how he believed both Presidents Bush learned from Ronald Reagan. Do you see that - did you see that in either Administration? BUCHANAN: Well listen, I was in Detroit, Lester. It was the night they were negotiating with Gerald Ford to put him on the ticket with Ronald Reagan and the negotiations collapsed over the demands and it looked like the headlines were going to say, Ford/Reagan ticket collapses. Reagan went to that convention and said, I‘ve chosen George W. Bush - George H. W. Bush to be my Vice President. He put the ticket together there. That made history. That is why we have two President Bush‘s. That shows of course Ronald Reagan‘s use of the dramatic, his ability to decide and I think that President Bush, the first President Bush had lunch with him every Wednesday, they were a close team. I was in meeting after meeting. They worked very closely together. The relationship was outstanding and I believe the young President Bush takes an awful lot from Ronald Reagan, the tax cuts. Frankly, the boyishness I talked about earlier, I think young President Bush has a lot of that quality. There is no doubt, every republican of this generation and every American has been affected by the character of Ronald Reagan. HOLT: And Pat, just about a minute or so or even less, just your thoughts very quickly on Nancy Reagan, especially the Nancy Reagan we‘ve seen during this struggle with Alzheimer‘s. BUCHANAN: Last time I talked to Ronald Reagan, he called me on the phone from California to say, thanks, because I had written a column defending Nancy who was under attack from something, some journalist or columnist, and he thanked me and he went on and on about this good, this loving woman and he could not understand this. This was a romance that went back to, you know, a more romantic time than we live in right now. He was just devoted to this woman. He loved her and it is really a story of love and loyalty through 50 years that again, we don‘t - have not seen its like almost in Presidential politics. HOLT: All right. Pat Buchanan, thanks very much for being with us. Pat Buchanan in Washington, one of the many places where flags are flying half staff at this hour in honor of the 40th President of the United States, Ronald Wilson Reagan, passing away today at the age of 93. The tributes, the statements, continue to come. Senator John Kerry releasing this a short while ago. “Ronald Reagan‘s love of country was infectious, even when he was breaking democrats‘ hearts, he did so with a smile and in the spirit of honest and open debate.” And he goes on to say, “Despite the disagreements, he lived by that noble idea that at 5:00 p.m., we weren‘t democrats or republicans, we were Americans and friends.” That statement from Senator John Kerry as the tributes and the remembrances of the 40th President of the United States continues.

Following their ascent to stardom and success of their prior two releases, the trio was compelled to take a break and participated in various side projects (Box Car Racer and Transplants). When they regrouped, they felt inspired to approach song structure and arrangements differently on their next effort together. Recorded from January to October 2003 with producer Jerry Finn, the album has been described as darker and more mature than the band's earlier work. It also marked a musical departure from their previous efforts, infusing experimental elements, inspired by lifestyle changes (the band members all became fathers before the album was released) and side projects, into their usual pop-punk sound. Its songs are sonically expansive and downcast, leading critics to view it as a more elaborate, mature side of the band. The songwriting is more personal in nature and explores darker territory, touching upon the realities of adulthood and unexpected hardships. In addition, its recording process was long and often unconventional. Fans were generally split regarding the band's ""new"" direction, but the album proved successful, selling 2.2 million copies in the United States. It received positive reviews, with critics welcoming its change in tone. Lead singles ""Feeling This"" and ""I Miss You"" received the most radio airplay out of the four singles released, and peaked high on Billboard charts. The worldwide touring schedule, which saw the band travel to Japan and Australia, also found the three performing for troops stationed in the Middle East. The album was the band's last recording with longtime producer Jerry Finn and their final original material before a four-year-long hiatus. It is also their longest studio album to date, clocking in at 49 minutes. Background [ edit ] Take Off Your Pants and Jacket became Blink-182's first number one album in the United States upon its June 2001 release; it also hit the top position in Canada and Germany. Hit singles ""The Rock Show"" and ""First Date"" continued the band's mainstream success worldwide, with MTV cementing their image as video stars.[2] However, guitarist Tom DeLonge felt that label limitations stifled his creativity,[3][4] and sessions became contentious among the trio.[5] They rescheduled European tour dates after the September 11 attacks,[6] and they were called off a second time after DeLonge suffered a herniated disc in his back.[7] With time off from touring, DeLonge felt an ""itch to do something where he didn't feel locked in to what Blink was,""[3][8] and channeled his chronic back pain and resulting frustration into Box Car Racer (2002), a post-hardcore disc that further explores his Fugazi and Refused inspiration.[9][10] Refraining from paying for a studio drummer, he invited Blink drummer Travis Barker to record drums on the project.[11] Box Car Racer, originally a one-time experimental project, became a full-fledged band with Barker behind the kit and Hazen Street guitarist David Kennedy on guitar.[4] Blink bassist Mark Hoppus felt betrayed and jealous, and it would create an unresolved tension within the trio that followed the band for several years.[4] ""At the end of 2001, it felt like Blink-182 had broken up. It wasn't spoken about, but it felt over"", said Hoppus later.[12] Barker, meanwhile, joined rap rock group Transplants in 2002 and was featured on their first album, Transplants.[13] In addition, Blink-182 co-headlined the Pop Disaster Tour with Green Day, alongside opening acts Jimmy Eat World, Saves the Day, and Kut U Up in 2002.[14] It was an ""uncomfortable"" time in the band according to Hoppus, but they had ""hundreds of discussions about it"" and seemingly moved on.[12] Barker felt the dynamics of the band changed with Hoppus and DeLonge's marriages: ""Blink-182 were no longer just three inseparable guys who were touring together."" Meanwhile, he began dating model Shanna Moakler, inviting tabloid attention, adding to the ""awkwardness"" present in the band.[15] The post-hardcore sound of Box Car Racer inspired the change in tone and experimental nature the band approached Blink-182 with.[16] Hoppus described his desire for the album to experiment with different arrangements in a 2002 interview: ""Before, we got one guitar sound that we changed a little bit through the record. This time we want to try a whole different setup for each song.""[17] Hoppus recalled that Barker entered the production process by urging the band to ""[not think of the album] as the next Blink-182 record — think of it as the first Blink-182 record.""[18] The members were also inspired after hearing Houston: We Have a Drinking Problem by Bad Astronaut and its expansive sound.[17] ""Once the door was opened by Tom and Travis with Box Car Racer, Mark started to be more on board with that concept. He was also more flexible and the next Blink album was able to be a pretty big departure from the previous two"", said assistant engineer Sam Boukas.[19] ""Box Car Racer opened the door in that sense and I think the three of them wanted to be more creative and have more creative liberty on that next album.""[19] Recording and production [ edit ] In January 2003, the band rented a home in the San Diego luxury community of Rancho Santa Fe, planning to record the entire album there.[20][21] In addition to the home being converted into a studio, pay-per-view pornography was on continuous play, and it included a space to ""smoke hella weed"" in the garage.[20] The trio ditched their typical previous recording process (writing and demoing several songs and recording them in a studio one instrument at a time) and instead approached each song together.[18] The band ""attacked"" each song and worked on three to four songs per day, simply moving on to the next one when feeling ""burned out"" on a track.[18] The band also had fun at the home studio; DeLonge commented, ""If I wasn't smoking half of Colombia I probably ran up $3 million in adult film charges.""[22] The band recorded at the home until April 2003, when the owners of the house ""kicked them out.""[23] Barker, unwilling to leave Moakler, would drive from Los Angeles to San Diego each day.[15] He subsequently left that spring to tour with Transplants, leaving the band with a variety of drum tracks to listen to while he was gone. The band regrouped after being ""kicked out"" by the owners of the house they were recording in and began recording at Rolling Thunder studios until the band left to perform a couple of summer shows in Canada and Japan, where they premiered several songs live.[23] The in-studio antics and behind the scenes moments were recorded and posted on the official Blink-182 website throughout 2003, as well as on a MTV album release segment.[24] The recording process of the album eventually lasted from January to August 2003, with an additional mixing and mastering period lasting until October.[18][failed verification] Previous Blink-182 sessions were recorded in three months.[25] The band stated that being in a studio longer than three months gave them the luxury of experimenting with different methods of writing, playing, and recording.[25] The band built each song with a minute attention to detail.[26] Hoppus described the studio as a ""musical laboratory"": over 70 guitars, 30 amps, ""30 or 40"" different snare drums, up to six drum kits, various keyboards, turntables, and pianos were used in the album's production, a lot of which came from Finn's personal collection.[27][28] Barker was responsible for the turntables and a copy of Pink Floyd's The Wall.[29] The group also enlisted the help of James Guthrie, an engineer behind The Wall.[22] The trio also sent The Cure frontman Robert Smith the bed track of ""All of This"" in hopes he would contribute; Smith makes a guest appearance and recorded his parts in England. The three initially believed their legitimacy would be in question due to the humor-oriented nature of their earlier recordings, to which Smith responded, ""Nobody knows what kind of songs you are going to write in the future and nobody knows the full potential of any band. I really like the music you sent me.""[30] The band also collaborated with DJ Shadow and Dan the Automator, and Barker desired to work with The Neptunes.[31] Jerry Finn, who had produced the previous two Blink-182 albums and the Box Car Racer album, returned to produce Blink-182, which would be his final collaboration with the band.[17][32] As the record neared completion by August 2003, the band performed for a short time for the armed forces in the Middle East and premiered more new songs at their Reading and Leeds sets.[25][33] The trio shot small, home-made videos for several songs on Blink-182, as well as the official music video for ""Feeling This"", the song they picked as the first single.[23][34][35][36] The band spent time to finalize the CD booklet and album artwork in September. Mark Hoppus stated that the album was so ""personal to all three of us that we really wanted to be involved in every aspect of it.""[23] The release date kept getting missed and pushed back to the point where Jordan Schur, then-president of Geffen Records, made calls asking, ""What is the absolute last possible second that we can turn this thing in and still make our release date?""[23] DeLonge described the final days of mixing the album as ""crazy stressful"", with ""literally hours to turn [the album] to have it come it out on time.""[23] The album was in production so late that final mixes were still being judged by Hoppus, DeLonge, and Barker the night before the album was sent to the pressing plant.[23] For Barker, he later considered it his favorite time in the band's history, commenting, ""That was a good time in my life. I was smoking just enough weed and taking just enough pills.""[15] Composition [ edit ] Music and style [ edit ] Bassist and vocalist Mark Hoppus considered his lyricism on Untitled his most personal to that point.[27] While still rooted in pop-punk, Untitled finds the band expanding their sonic template with darker, restless songs.[37] The compositions on the record have been described as musically diverse and ""borderline experimental,""[38] with sullen moodiness and off-kilter hooks the basis for many tracks.[37] The record pulls from a variety of styles, including post-hardcore, electronic rock, jangle pop, and ""reflective"" alternative rock.[34] Experimentation was constantly present: the band tried different mic techniques[3] and toyed with harmonium organs, Polynesian Gamelan bells,[22] and turntables.[39] The band infused these experimentalist elements into their usual pop punk sound, inspired by lifestyle changes (the band members all became fathers before the album was released) and side-projects (Box Car Racer and Transplants.)[25] In a full article about the album in the November 20, 2003, edition of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Ben Wener described the music of the album as ""expansive, downcast, and sometimes spectral.""[27] The New York Times considered that the album may have been influenced by the growing popularity of emo pop,[40] while AllMusic regarded it a delve into post-punk.[37] ""Much of the punk has been dissolved, the buzzsaw guitars faded into the corners, allowing room for staggering dynamics, cathartic guitar bursts and a weightier, more experimental and ambitious sound"", wrote Tom Bryant of Kerrang!.[12] Tim Coffman of Alternative Press noted that the record tends to leave pop-punk behind altogether at times, ""bringing the sounds of alternative rock and new wave into the mix.""[41] Overall, the album's general sound has been described as pop-punk,[37] alternative rock,[34][41] and new wave.[41] The goal for Untitled was continuity: each song develops lyrically like chapters in a book, and songs segue into one another to present a cohesive feel instead of a regular collection of tracks.[25][26] In addition to the side-projects, the music of the album was inspired by the September 11 attacks and the onset of the Iraq War.[34] The mood was unsettling for DeLonge, whose brother is a Navy officer: ""It was so weird because we'd all be glued to the TV, watching these bombs explode over another country. So I'd see all this and wonder where he was at, and then we'd have to go into the next room and sing or finish writing lyrics. I think it affected our moods throughout the day.""[34] In addition, it was inspired by the band simply socializing together: ""We would just hang out for hours talking. It was really cool,"" said DeLonge.[29] Lyrics [ edit ] ""I think the second half of the record being written in LA was key. [In] San Diego [...] It's very beautiful and rich and everything I don't want to see when I'm writing a record, not a punk rock record [...] Being in Los Angeles, the heart of fucking street bombs to drug dealers to pimps to fucking gang bangers, that gives you inspiration. Like me sitting in fucking San Diego seeing rich people drive their nice cars and go to their nice houses doesn't do shit for me."" —Travis Barker on the recording process[42] Critics agreed that this album represents a more ""mature"" Blink-182,[37] hence the absence of songs with toilet humour or jokes for which the band had been known. ""We wanted to be different,"" remarked DeLonge. ""Some of our fans were probably like, 'Fuck, maybe they should stop joking so people could hear why I like this band.' And I think this record is going to help those kids out."".[43] In an interview with MTV Album Launch, Hoppus said that the desired effect of the album was for people to listen to it and say, ""Wait a minute...that's Blink-182?""[23] The themes for the album include growing up and dealing with the realities of adulthood including relationship woes, daily pressures, and unexpected hardships.[25] The album is lyrically consumed with sorrow and uncertainty about the world.[27] Entertainment Weekly described it as a concept album based on a dying relationship, a ""self-meditation on romantic decay.""[44][45] ""I think at this point in our career, we are better musicians and we've evolved our way of thinking as far as songwriting"", DeLonge told Billboard in reference to the more mature lyricism.[30] Hoppus, in his interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, described the lyrics as the most personal he had written to that point. While past recordings tended to meditate on feelings from high school, the band felt it was akin to a safety net and desired to write about ""what's going on […] right now.""[27] Lyrics continued to be autobiographical, but the band took more time than usual on their writing. DeLonge would routinely rewrite his sections upwards of four times.[22] Songs [ edit ] The record opens with ""Feeling This"", which features flanged drums and an unconventional ""syncopated Latin-flavored backbeat and a harmony-rich chorus"" following a series of ""half-barked"" vocals.[25] ""Feeling This"" was the first song written for the album and illustrates a scenario of lust, ambivalence, and regret, with the protagonist of the song reflecting over his romance's dimming flame in the chorus ""Fate fell short this time/Your smile fades in the summer.""[25] Hoppus and DeLonge wrote the song in two different rooms and upon meeting to discuss the song, the two realized they had both written about sex—the passionate, lustful side (reflected in the verses) and the romantic side (the choruses).[46] It segues into ""Obvious"", which explores the Wall of Sound technique[44] and features a brooding, heavy intro combined with cascading guitar riffs.[47] ""I Miss You"" is an all-acoustic affair, featuring a melancholy piano, cello, upright acoustic bass, and a ""brushstroked hip-hop groove.""[34][44] The song features references to Tim Burton's 1993 animated film The Nightmare Before Christmas with ""We can live like Jack and Sally"" and ""We'll have Halloween on Christmas"". In interviews and the liner notes for Blink-182, Barker reveals that the line was directed towards his then girlfriend, Shanna Moakler.[46] ""Violence"" flicks between ""bizarre, spoken jazzy verses and anthemic punk rock choruses"" with lyrics that equate broken hearts with global violence.[47][48] ""Stockholm Syndrome"" has been described as ""the most obvious examples of Blink-182's experimentation"",[18] was recorded using a microphone dating back to the 1950s, and the reverb on the vocals was achieved by playing the recordings into a shower. The drum fills for the song were recorded separately than the rest of the tracks, with the tape machines ""sped up and super compressed"", then played back at normal speed, to sound really ""deep and gigantic"", according to Hoppus in the liner notes for Blink-182.[46] It features an interlude before it in which Joanne Whalley reads letters Hoppus's grandfather wrote to his grandmother during World War II.[18][49][50] DeLonge explained the letters as ""real sincere, genuine letters from the worst war in history.""[18] ""Down"" continues the theme of longing, set to a rain-drenched soundscape.[51] The original version of ""Down"" ran over six minutes long, and contained a drum and bass breakdown from Barker.[12] ""The Fallen Interlude"", which functions as an outro to ""Down"",[22] finds Barker showcasing different percussive techniques over a funk-tinged jazz sound. It is a near-instrumental recorded with Sick Jacken of hip-hop band Psycho Realm.[47] ""Go"" is the record's only straight punk rock song. ""It's a personal song,"" said Hoppus. ""It's not specifically about my mother… I feel weird talking about it.""[43] ""Asthenia"" uses real NASA transmissions from the Apollo 9 space flight.[18] It centers on a fictional astronaut stranded in space, floating in an Apollo capsule, and contemplating whether or not to return to his home planet. The song was inspired by DeLonge's self-admitted ""paranoia"" regarding the future and how war and famine could affect it.[22] ""Always"" features an uptempo backbeat combined with a New Romantic-era keyboard and pulls from new wave influences; the band often jokingly called the track the ""'80s song.""[52] It contains a riff reminiscent of The Only Ones' ""Another Girl, Another Planet"".[51] ""Easy Target"" and ""All of This"" were based on a story from producer Jerry Finn's middle school years. Finn was in love with a female classmate, Holly, who invited him over, only to have her and her friend drench him with a hose; humiliated, he rode home on his bicycle.[46][49] ""All of This"" is a gothic-tinged pop song that uses strings and guitar effects to create a moody atmosphere.[47] The track ""Here's Your Letter"", according to Hoppus in the liner notes for Blink-182, is about ""people's inability to communicate with one another and how words and explanations only confuse the issues.""[46] ""I'm Lost Without You"" mixes an industrial loop with piano.[18] The latter track took many months to create, and took ""over 50"" different tracks, including two drum sets combined during the last minute of the song. Barker described the idea for the percussion combination as ""something we always wanted to do, but never got around to"" and believed the song sounded like Pink Floyd or Failure.[46] The UK edition of the record features B-side ""Not Now"", originally recorded during the sessions. ""Not Now"" features a church organ in its verses and guitar riffs reminiscent of the Descendents. Its subject matter continues the theme of complicated miscommunication and fading love.[51] Packaging and title [ edit ] Due to some contradicting sources, the title of the album (or lack thereof) is debated. Travis Barker, in his memoir Can I Say, writes that ""Some people think it's a self titled album, called Blink-182, but Mark [Hoppus] has always insisted it was actually untitled.""[15] A 2003 interview and article from MTV News discussing the naming of the pending album repeatedly refers to the release as the ""untitled album,""[18] while a press release from that time period confirms the same.[53] Despite this, several critics have used the terms ""eponymous"", ""untitled"", and ""self-titled"" in describing the album.[54][55] In a 2009 MTV News article, James Montgomery refers to the album as self-titled, joking, ""Or untitled … It's never really been clear.""[56] The title for the album was originally rumored to be Use Your Erection I & II, a parody of the Guns N' Roses albums Use Your Illusion I and II,[31] but was revealed to be a joke Barker made to ""get a rise out of people.""[57] DeLonge, in reference to previous joke album titles (such as Enema of the State), stated, ""We didn't want to label it with a joke title that people might expect."" As such, a Billboard article from the week of the album's release lists three rejected joke titles: Diarrhea de Janeiro, Vasectomy, Vasect-a-you and ""Our Pet Sounds"".[30] To support the new album, Blink-182 created an entirely new logo, a ""smiley face"" with Xs for each eye and five arrows on the left side of its face. According to Barker, the Blink-182 logo originated at his clothing line, Famous Stars and Straps. Barker wanted to brand an icon for the band: ""It just had to be a cool kind of happy face but I wanted arrows. You know, like The Jam were my favorite band, they always had arrows in their logos and stuff. It was just kind of inspired by pop-art.""[57][58] Hoppus seconded this sentiment: ""He spearheaded all the artwork for the record. There were smiley-face stickers and posters all over Los Angeles, and that was his idea.""[15] Barker invited his tattoo artist, Mister Cartoon, to create artwork for the record, and his good friend Estevan Oriol to handle photography. ""His style, incorporated into Blink's, didn't make us too gangster: it just gave us a bit of an edge. It was cool to feel like Blink had a dangerous side"", Barker later remembered.[15] musicOMH described the album booklet as ""...meticulously put together and resembling a Warholian pastiche."" Each song includes small notes detailing the lyrical inspiration for each song, what it means to each band member, and the recording techniques used.[47] The band originally wanted each CD booklet to be made from canvas material. Geffen gave the band a choice between the custom artwork or keeping the sale price down to US$12, and the band chose the latter, as they felt it was more important that young listeners obtain the record for less money.[22] Promotion and singles [ edit ] The band live in the Middle East, where they performed several songs from Untitled for the first time publicly. Untitled was the band's first release on Geffen, which absorbed sister label MCA Records in 2003.[59] Prior to it dissolving, MCA had attempted to penalize the band for breaking stipulations in their contract that they would have an album out by a specific quarter.[22] MCA had previously rushed the band into recording Take Off Your Pants and Jacket, but the band had much more freedom with Geffen. ""Geffen came down and heard three songs and they said, 'This is the best record you've ever done, this is the record of your career, take as much time as you want, call us when it's done.' It just completely outlined the perspective of putting accounting before creative, and when you're in the entertainment business, you've got to put creative first. It's an art, you've got to look at it like an art, treat it like an art, and then you'll get the best product in the long run.""[60] Promotion for the record included a ""golden ticket"" contest – the prize being a private Blink-182 show for the winner.[61] MTV's website streamed the full album a week before its release, beginning on November 10.[62] As promotion for the album and single release[s], the band performed ""Feeling This"" on Jimmy Kimmel Live! a week after the release of the album on November 26, 2003,[63] and ""Down"" on Late Show with David Letterman on May 27, 2004.[64] Performances of ""I Miss You"" and ""The Rock Show"" on The WB's Pepsi Smash concert series from June 10, 2004, were released on the Australian Tour edition of the album, as well as the ""Always"" single.[65] The band picked ""Feeling This"" as the first single because it was representative of the transition the band had undergone since Take Off Your Pants and Jacket.[66] A slightly different version of the song had been released previously as part of the soundtrack for the video game Madden NFL 2004 under the erroneous title ""Action"".[25] Barker explained in an interview that ""'Action' just sounded kind of dorky to us. Like we would always call it 'Feeling This' and then someone at our label, I think, like wrote it as 'Action' one time and sent out singles to people. And it was always supposed to be 'Feeling This'.""[57] The video for ""Feeling This"" was recorded shortly before the release of the album in October 2003.[66] The track peaked high at number 2 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart, hovering at that position for three weeks.[67] ""I Miss You"" was commissioned as the record's second single in December 2003 when the band recorded a music video for it.[34][68] ""I Miss You"" became arguably the most successful single from the album, becoming Blink-182's second number one hit on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart during the week of April 3, 2004, until dethroned by Hoobastank's ""The Reason"" two weeks later.[69] Despite briefly considering ""Easy Target"" to be released as the album's third single, ""Down"" was released instead.[70] The video for ""Down"", which features real-life ex-gang members, made its television premiere in June 2004.[71] The single was a mixed success, peaking at number 10 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart during the week of July 31, 2004, but quickly falling off afterward.[72] ""Always"" was announced as the fourth and final single from Blink-182 in August 2004. ""It's gonna change people's lives and might actually change the world forever"", DeLonge jokingly predicted.[73] After deciding on the video concept, the clip was recorded and released in November 2004[52] and continued success all the way into January 2005.[74] A fifth single from the album (""All of This"") was discussed; however, plans were dropped following the band's declaration of an 'indefinite hiatus' in February 2005. In response to the idea of ""All of This"" becoming a possible single, DeLonge joked ""We would love it because it's a bad-ass song, and The Cure's Robert Smith sings on it, and that makes us cooler than everybody else.""[52] However, on April 18, 2020, Hoppus explained that the song was never intended to be a single, answering a fan during a Twitch stream session. Critical reception [ edit ] The album received generally favorable reviews by music critics.[79] At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 71, based on 12 reviews.[79] Jenny Eliscu of Rolling Stone, while giving the album four stars, wrote that ""...their lyrics are still unsophisticated and lovelorn, but even the poppiest tunes prove artful"". Her review regards Blink-182 as ""more experimental and harder-hitting than anything else [the band] has done"".[48] It was subsequently included in the Top 50 Best of 2003 end of the year list by Rolling Stone.[82] The album was given four stars by AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine, who called Blink-182 ""an unexpected and welcome maturation from a band that just an album ago seemed permanently stuck in juvenilia.""[37] Blender's Jonah Weiner praised DeLonge's vocals, describing them as a ""lean, thrilling ride through adolescent hopelessness.""[77] Many critics expressed surprise at the newfound maturity of the band,[37][48][80] and lauded the surprise appearance of The Cure vocalist Robert Smith on the track ""All of This"".[37][44] The band's decision in favor of more mature material was received positively by many critics; Tim Newbound of Soul Shine Magazine wrote that ""Blink show that they can retain their infectious and endearing qualities while recording music of a more thoughtful calibre.""[83] Spin described the record as emotionally intense and best experienced through headphones.[79] USA Today's Edna Gundersen felt that ""Blink-182 bravely adheres to a single sober theme — a disintegrating romance — through 14 songs that adhere to its pop punk principles without recycling cartoonish accessories. Blink-182 is growing up, not growing stale.""[80] Nick Catucci of The Village Voice called the album ""brilliant"" and compared Blink-182 to fellow pop punk band Green Day's 2000 effort, Warning, writing, ""Let it be noted, however, that Warning searches for subject matter where Blink-182 searches for meaning.""[84] Greg Kot of Entertainment Weekly wrote that ""Despite their newfound earnestness, [the band] seem incapable of pretension. And in a career littered with songs about awkward moments, their latest is a dork classic.""[44] Scott Shelter of Slant gave the album four stars, stating ""Giving up the fart jokes is risky business for Blink—but Blink-182 might just be the band's best album to date.""[85] Among the more negative reviews, Jason Arnopp of Q felt the majority of material forgettable but commended it as ""some of their most imaginatively constructed work.""[78] The A.V. Club's Stephen Thompson believed ""The disc [does] meander in spots, and its most achingly sincere love songs become cloying.""[86] Commercial performance [ edit ] The album debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200 chart, with first-week sales of 313,000 copies.[55] In comparison, Take Off Your Pants and Jacket debuted at number one and sold more than 350,000 copies in its first week.[87] The album charted at number three, below fellow new album In the Zone by Britney Spears (number one) and above remix album Let It Be... Naked by The Beatles (number five).[55] The self titled album charted highest in Canada, where it debuted at number one.[88] The album was also successful in other countries, debuting in the top ten in Australia and New Zealand.[89][90] The album was certified by the RIAA as platinum for shipments of over one million copies in 2004,[91] although it has since sold over 2.2 million copies in the US and 7 million copies worldwide.[92][93] It was certified by both the Music Canada and the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) as double platinum.[94][95] The album has also reached platinum certifications in the United Kingdom.[96] Touring [ edit ] The band performing in Bahrain for sailors and marines in August 2003. Blink-182 announced their first tour in support of Untitled on October 17, 2003, named the DollaBill Tour. The all-ages club tour featured support acts Bubba Sparxxx and The Kinison, and, as the name suggests, tickets were sold for $1. DeLonge explained the first return to small venues in several years in the initial press release for the tour: ""For years we played in small clubs and that's where you can really connect with your fans.""[53] The tour ended shortly after the release of Untitled on November 21, 2003, at local San Diego venue SOMA. An additional concert at the Phoenix Concert Theatre on December 2, 2003, was held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada with My Chemical Romance as the opener.[97] A performance at KWOD's Twisted X-Mas show shortly before Christmas 2003 became the final show of the year,[98] and a European tour followed in mid-February 2004.[99] During an Australian tour in March 2004, Barker injured his foot and the band was forced to cancel tour dates in Japan for the rest of the month. A U.S. tour took place from late April to May 2004,[101] and a highly publicized tour featuring Blink-182 and No Doubt was performed during June 2004 in support of Untitled and No Doubt's The Singles 1992–2003.[102][103] The cancelled Australian tour dates were rescheduled and performed in August and September 2004.[104] The band appeared on September 17, 2004, at the MTV Icon tribute to The Cure, performing a cover of ""A Letter to Elise"" and ""All of This"", which was recorded and later broadcast on October 31, 2004.[105] The band headed to Europe for a two-week tour near the end of the year,[52] which culminated at their final show on December 16, 2004, at the Point Theatre in Dublin, Ireland.[56][106] Although the band had planned for a U.S. tour in support of ""Always"", tensions within the band had risen on the final European tour and the band announced an 'indefinite hiatus' on February 22, 2005, as breakup rumors swirled.[107] After touring through 2004, the three essentially stopped communicating with one another. Hoppus initially had difficulty accepting the group's new direction.[20] After some tragic events involving the band and its entourage, Blink-182 reunited in February 2009.[56] Legacy [ edit ] Blink-182 celebrating the album's tenth anniversary at the Hollywood Palladium in November 2013. The Los Angeles Times referred to Untitled as the band's ""underrated masterwork,""[20] writing that the record is generally considered by ""fans, critics and band members alike as its best work, Blink's answer to Pet Sounds or Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.""[108] The band themselves have regarded it as a ""huge turning point"" in their career, marking a change in the way they write and record music, as well as view themselves.[109] In his memoir Can I Say, Barker writes: ""It had a little bit of everything: we ventured far enough outside our genre to make ourselves happy, but not so far that we offended our fan base. It was a perfect happy medium, and it's the Blink album that Mark, Tom, and I are most proud of.""[15] The band celebrated the tenth anniversary of the album by performing it in full in November 2013. After a pair of Hollywood Palladium shows sold out in a record 32 seconds,[108] the band added three additional dates at The Wiltern in Los Angeles, which also sold out.[20] MTV News called it ""a fitting tribute to an album that, in the decade since it was first released, has become a bit of a touchstone — a defining moment not just for the band, but for the genre of punk, in all its permutations.""[109] Jon Blistein of Radio.com called the album ""an unquestionable masterpiece"" in the site's ""Not Fade Away"" series, which examines ""some of the greatest albums of the past few decades.""[49] In it, he writes on the album's influence: ""Untitled was the band's most concise break from the pop punk formula and a catalyst for the wave of pierced-hearts-stuck-to-sleeves-with-tears-and-guyliner ""emo"" outfits that rose to popularity in its wake (sans the potty humor, of course), including but not limited to Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance and Panic! at the Disco.""[49] Track listing [ edit ] Digital releases set the spoken-word section of track 4 ""Violence"", performed by Joanne Whalley, as a separate track titled ""Stockholm Syndrome Interlude"", incrementing all subsequent tracks by 1.

Lewis announced on January 29, 2008, that he would not run for an eighth term. Early life, education, and career [ edit ] Lewis was born in McKell near South Shore in Greenup County in far northeastern Kentucky. He graduated in 1964 from McKell High School. He attended Morehead State University in Morehead in Rowan County from 1964 to 1967 and graduated from the University of Kentucky at Lexington in 1969 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in history and political science. Lewis returned to Morehead in 1980 to earn a master's degree in professional education in 1981. At twenty-one, Lewis worked in the 1967 gubernatorial campaign of Louie B. Nunn of Glasgow. Nunn's victory got Lewis a state job for a time and encouragement to run in 1971 for the Kentucky House of Representatives in his native Greenup County. Though he lost the legislative race in a Democratic year in Kentucky, Lewis maintained an interest in GOP politics. In 1972, Lewis served briefly in the U.S. Navy,[1] attending the Navy Officer Candidate School in Pensacola, Florida; a kidney ailment resulted in a quick medical discharge. Lewis worked in sales for several companies, including Ashland Oil, before teaching for five years at Watterson College in Louisville, Kentucky, having begun in 1980. (The school closed in the 1990s.) He also was ordained as a Southern Baptist minister in 1980, having served as pastor for the historic White Mills Baptist Church, after attending the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville. In 1985 Lewis opened a religious bookstore, Alpha and Omega Bookstore, in Elizabethtown. In the early 1980s, he was a pastor at Friendship Baptist Church, located outside Hodgenville. Lewis has been married to Kayi Gambill Lewis since 1966. They live in Cecilia,[2] near Elizabethtown, and have two children. He is a Southern Baptist. Congressional career [ edit ] 1994 election [ edit ] In 1994, Lewis filed to run against longtime Democratic Representative William H. Natcher in the general election in November 1994. The Second District was predominantly Democratic in terms of voter registration, and Natcher had held the seat without serious difficulty since 1953. Although Lewis had been personally endorsed by the state GOP leadership and Senator Mitch McConnell, he was considered somewhat of a ""sacrificial lamb"" candidate. The dimensions of the race changed dramatically when Natcher died in late March 1994. A special election was called in May 1994 to replace him. In the special election, Lewis faced Joe Prather, a state senator from Hardin County. Lewis got support from numerous national Republican sources and many social conservative groups, enabling him to run a very strong campaign in a district that had not elected a Republican in 129 years. Lewis tied Prather to an unpopular Bill Clinton and a proposal to raise taxes on tobacco, the staple crop of the state. He also took advantage of the socially conservative tilt of the Second District. In the special election Lewis defeated Prather by 55-45 percent in an election with less than 20 percent turnout—a result which is still considered a major upset. It was a result that many political pundits, as Larry J. Sabato noted in his Crystal Ball newsletter, saw as a harbinger of the Republican gains in Congress in the regular election later that year.[3] Lewis was elected to a full term that November, when he defeated Democrat David Adkisson with 60 percent of the vote. One of the centerpieces of Lewis' 1994 campaign was term limits in Washington. He was one of five Republicans who signed a pledge committing themselves to a limited number of terms if elected. He himself had promised to leave the House in 2003, after serving four full terms plus the last seven months of Natcher's term.[4] In 1998, Lewis sent a letter to 3,000 constituents in 1998 informing them he had changed his mind about running in 2002 and beyond. ""I made a mistake in 1994, and I admit that. I had said I would not run past 2002,"" he told the Elizabethtown News Enterprise in October 1998.[5] Political positions [ edit ] According to the non-partisan website TheMiddleClass.org,[6] Ron Lewis has consistently voted against tax increases and expansion of social programs. In 2004, Lewis joined numerous Republican colleagues in sponsoring legislation that would allow lawmakers to override certain Supreme Court decisions by a two-thirds vote of the House and Senate. Lewis likened his proposal to the existing right of Congress to override a presidential veto with a two-thirds majority. 1996–2004 campaigns [ edit ] Lewis won a second full term in 1996 with 58 percent of the vote by beating former Kentucky Senate floor leader Joe Wright with a vote total of 125,433 to 90,483.[7] He did not face another serious challenge until 2006. In the 2004 election, he defeated Democrat Adam Smith, getting 68 percent of the vote. 2006 [ edit ] In the 2006 election, Lewis defeated retired U.S. Army Colonel Mike Weaver, a former member of the Kentucky House of Representatives. Weaver gave Lewis his first credible challenge in a decade, holding him to only 55 percent of the vote. Committee assignments [ edit ] Ways and Means Committee Subcommittee on Social Security Subcommittee on Trade Republican Policy Committee Retirement [ edit ] On January 29, 2008, Lewis announced he would not seek reelection in 2008 on the same day as the filing deadline; he was hoping to ensure the GOP nomination would be won by his chief of staff, Daniel London, but State Senator Brett Guthrie also filed for the race. The decision shocked and angered many prominent Kentucky Republicans,[8][9] Lewis said he was tired of splitting his time between Washington and Kentucky and that serving in Congress had not been as encouraging since Democrats gained the majority in 2007.[10] On the Democratic side, State Senator David Boswell of Daviess County and the Daviess County Judge-Executive Reid Haire both filed. Guthrie emerged the winner over primary rival Daniel London and then Boswell. In 2010, Lewis announced his support for Kentucky Secretary of State Trey Grayson in the race to fill the United States Senate seat of retiring Republican Senator Jim Bunning. Grayson lost the nomination to the eventual Senate winner, Republican Rand Paul. Lewis deposited his congressional papers at Baptist-affiliated Campbellsville University.[11][12]",0

Croatia's Prime Minister Ivo Sanader addresses a news conference in Zagreb July 1, 2009. Sanader said on Wednesday he was resigning and quitting politics altogether. REUTERS/Nikola Solic “I have decided to withdraw from active politics and not to run for the presidency,” Sanader told a news conference after his sudden resignation. Sanader had served as prime minister since his conservative Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) took power from Social Democrats in 2003, and local media had speculated he would step down as prime minister to run for president in early 2010. The HDZ won 14 out of 21 counties in local elections in May, but its second term has been marred by the global crisis and an impasse on Croatia’s EU entry talks, stalled because of a veto neighbouring Slovenia imposed over a border row. The next general election is due in late 2011. Sanader gave no reason for his surprise announcement. “There is always a time in life for a new beginning,” he said. “Such a moment has come and now it’s time for others to take over.” Croatia’s economy is expected to shrink around 4 percent this year. Unemployment has risen steadily this year and exports fell some 13 percent in the first quarter. “The new prime minister-designate will be my deputy Jadranka Kosor. We have already secured majority signatures in the parliament and I expect the (parliamentary) procedure to be relatively fast,” Sanader told the news conference. “My decision was not easy and I’ve been thinking about it a lot,” he said. Sanader, who transformed his party from a hardline nationalist movement into a conservative party, set membership of NATO and the European Union as his main political goals. Croatia joined the NATO alliance in April. It had aimed to close accession talks with the European Union by the end of the year, but a row with EU member Slovenia prompted Croatia’s foreign minister last week to acknowledge it would be “extremely difficult” to achieve that target. Sanader told the news conference he believed the EU accession talks could be completed in three months. A scholar and former athlete, Sanader took over the HDZ in April 2000, succeeding the country’s first president, Franjo Tudjman, who died five months earlier.",0

They completely revamped their Eleanor Rigby Eleanor's Dream free dance before the 2008 U.S. Championships due to its poor reception. They won the silver medal at the competition, one spot up from the previous season. They also won silver at 2008 Four Continents and were sixth at the 2008 World Championships. 2008–2009 season [ edit ] In the 2008–2009 season, Davis/White won their first Grand Prix assignment, the 2008 Skate Canada. In their second assignment, the 2008 Cup of Russia, they placed third in the compulsory dance but were eighth in the original dance after White fell twice and stumbled on twizzles.[23] They recovered in the free dance, placing second in the segment and moving up to win the bronze medal, which together with the gold from Skate Canada was enough to qualify them for their first Grand Prix Final. At the 2008–2009 Grand Prix Final, they won the bronze medal. Davis/White won gold at the 2009 National Championships, after reigning champions Belbin/Agosto withdrew due to injury. They won by a 20-point margin over silver medalists Emily Samuelson / Evan Bates. In February 2009, they won the ice dance title at the Four Continents Championships, placing second in both the compulsory and original dance behind training mates Tessa Virtue / Scott Moir but winning the free dance.[24] At the 2009 World Championships they placed 4th. Though they placed third in both the original and free dance portions, they lost too much ground in the compulsory to overcome training mates Virtue and Moir for the bronze. Only .04 points separated 3rd from 4th. 2009–2010 season [ edit ] Davis/White competed at the 2009 Nebelhorn Trophy, finishing first in all the segments of the competition. Overall they won the gold medal with a score of 200.46 points, 30.87 ahead of silver medalists Alexandra Zaretsky / Roman Zaretsky. Davis/White won the 2009 Rostelecom Cup and the 2009 NHK Trophy, which qualified them for the 2009–2010 Grand Prix Final. At the Grand Prix Final, they won the original dance and placed second in the free dance to win the title overall, becoming the first American ice dancers to do so. At the 2010 National Championships, Davis and White won their second national title.[25] They beat former training partners Belbin/Agosto, the first time they had ever done so, and led through all portions of the competition. At the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, Davis/White placed second to Canada's Virtue/Moir, winning silver. They skated a personal best in the free skate portion of ice dancing, garnering a score of 107.19 and received a personal best total score of 215.74. They also won the silver medal at the 2010 World Championships. 2010–2011 season [ edit ] Davis/White were undefeated in their 2010–2011 season. For the 2010–11 ISU Grand Prix season, they were assigned to the 2010 NHK Trophy and to the 2010 Skate America. They won NHK with 66.97 points in the short dance and 98.24 in the free dance, for a total of 165.21 points. Following NHK, they decided to make some adjustments to their free dance.[26] At Skate America they earned 63.62 in the short dance and 93.06 points in the free dance after both fell, with their nearest rivals also having a fall.[27] They earned an overall total of 156.68 and the gold medal. Their results qualified them for the 2010–2011 Grand Prix Final where they successfully defended their title, scoring 68.64 in the short and 102.94 in the free for a total of 171.58 points. They won their 3rd consecutive national title at the U.S. Championships held at Greensboro, North Carolina. They earned 76.04 points for their short dance and 109.44 points for their free dance scoring a total of 185.48 points. At the 2011 Four Continents Championships, Davis/White placed second to Virtue/Moir in the short dance. The Canadians later withdrew from the free dance. Davis/White went on to win the free dance and the title with a total of 172.03 points. At the 2011 World Championships, they placed second in the short dance by 0.53 points, with a score of 73.76 points. In the free dance, they placed first with a score of 111.51 points, the highest free dance score that season. Overall, they won the gold medal with a score of 185.27, beating reigning Olympic and World champions Virtue/Moir by 3.48 points. This was the United States' first ice dancing World title. 2011–2012 season [ edit ] For the 2011–2012 season, Davis/White were assigned to two Grand Prix events—2011 Skate America and 2011 Cup of Russia—having declined a newly introduced option to compete in a third.[28] They announced their music selections in August, including La Strada for their free dance,[28] but in October announced a change to Die Fledermaus.[29] Davis and White won gold at Skate America, with 70.33 points in the short dance and 107.74 points in the free dance. They were 21.78 points ahead of 2nd place team Nathalie Péchalat / Fabian Bourzat. At 2011 Rostelecom Cup, the couple improved with a total score of 179.06, despite a small stumble in the short dance. They placed 17.88 points ahead of 2nd place team Kaitlyn Weaver / Andrew Poje. Their placements qualified them for the 2011–2012 Grand Prix Final, where they placed first. The two would later become silver medalists at the 2012 Four Continents Championships and 2012 World Championships. However, at the 2012 World Team Trophy, they edged Virtue/Moir by 5.6 points, and Team USA won the silver medal. Following Igor Shpilband's dismissal from the Arctic Edge Arena in June 2012, Davis/White decided to remain at the rink with Marina Zoueva and ended their collaboration with Shpilband.[30] 2012–2013 season [ edit ] For the 2012–2013 season, Davis/White were assigned to compete at 2012 Skate America and the 2012 NHK Trophy, winning gold in both events.[31][32] In December, they set a record by becoming the first team to win four Grand Prix Final titles, when they came in first in both the short and free dances.[33] In January 2013, they won their fifth consecutive National title, tying for the U.S. ice dance record. They set U.S. scoring records in both the short and free dances. They continued their undefeated season winning the gold medal at the 2013 Four Continents, despite a small bobble that left them in second in the short dance portion.[34] They won the free dance ahead of Virtue/Moir. Then, at the World Championships in March, they again defeated Virtue/Moir to win their second world championship title, breaking their previous world records in both the short dance and combined total.[35] 2013–2014 season [ edit ] Davis and White worked with Derek Hough and Alex Wong on their programs for 2013 and 2014.[36] On February 5, 2014, the pair appeared among five other Olympians in a one-hour special on NBC television,. During the team event at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Davis and White earned 20 points in two first-place finishes for the U.S. team, which was awarded bronze medal overall. Davis and White posted record scores in both the short program and free dance and were awarded the first Olympic gold medal for Americans in ice dancing.They performed with Stars on Ice in 2014.",0

In beating England in a pre-tournament warm-up and now putting in back-to-back dominant performances against Tier 1 nations Wales and Australia in their World Cup pool, Fiji have demonstrated an ability to add forward steel to their traditional backline flair. And one major reason for that improvement is their Super Rugby franchise, the Fijian Drua. Having a fully-professional club side taking part in top level competition to complement the star players playing oversees has removed one of the team’s historic weaknesses in which their domestic-based players were essentially amateurs. Quality game “With Drua, you see not only do they try and educate them around being professional, they also give them quality game time at the Super (Rugby) level,” said Fiji’s kicking coach Seremaia Bai after Sunday’s emotional 22-15 victory over the Wallabies. “I think it’s massively positive for the development of rugby and you can see the way most of the boys who played in the Drua, it’s really improved the performance of the team.” That was something not lost of Australia’s head coach Eddie Jones, who described the creation of the Drua as “really positive.” Fiji have always had talented stars that have played in Australia, New Zealand or Europe, but they never had back-up players of a similar level, meaning their performance would inevitably tail off deep into matches against Tier 1 nations. In 2019 they led Australia 14-12 at half-time in their World Cup pool stage match in Japan, only to be swept aside after the break to lose 39-21. But not this time. Leading 12-8 after 40 minutes, Fiji had stretched heir lead from four to seven points by full-time. Rugby Championship dream Jones pointed to Fiji’s replacement hooker Tevita Ikanivere as an example of how the Super Rugby franchise is benefiting the national team. “He’s a quality player and he’s become a quality player through training full-time with the Drua and also playing with the Drua at a high level,” said Jones after his side’s defeat to Fiji. “I think that’s the real benefit for Fiji Rugby and if they can keep growing that and keep growing that system, there’s no reason why they can’t be in the Rugby Championship.” That is a dream for Fiji’s New Zealand-born coach Simon Raiwalui, who insisted after the match that the only way to keep improving is for Fiji to play more matches against Tier 1 nations. “I’m always about being included in those sort of competitions,” he said. “If those matches become available to us, we’ve got our hand up, we’re ready to play those games.” A lack of games is a major issue for Fiji, who have played fewer than half the number of internationals since the last World Cup than Tier 1 nations. “I’ll give you an example, I played for Fiji for probably 14 years but I only played 53 Test matches,” said Bai. “As guys from Australia and New Zealand, they may only play six years and manage to play 100 Test matches. “You can see the difference between gaining that experience versus the tier-two nation where we always struggle to be competing sustainably at the highest level.” That is where the Drua has been invaluable. Inspiration to youth Created in 2017, the team initially played in the Australian domestic National Rugby Championship, winning it in one of the three years they participated. Then in 2022, the Drua were invited to take part in the Super Rugby competition. They won two out of 12 matches and finished second from bottom, but this year they won six matches and reached the play-offs, where they lost to eventual champions the Crusaders, who boast All Blacks stars such as Richie Mo’unga and Sam Whitelock. Australian-born lock Isoa Nasilasila, who started on Sunday against the country of his birth, was given his Super Rugby chance with the Drua and says the team is not just developing local players but also plays a vital role in inspiring the next generations.",0

Toulon flyer Waisea Nayacalevu will captain the team in his third World Cup, while former rugby league back Semi Radradra has also booked his ticket to France after being one of the outstanding players early in the 2019 World Cup in Japan. As expected, there is no shortage of power and pace in the 33-man squad but Raiwalui will look to the core of Drua to bring cohesion and set-piece solidity to the Flying Fijians. The Drua made their debut in Super Rugby last year and this season stunned New Zealand powerhouses the Canterbury Crusaders and Wellington Hurricanes in huge upsets on home soil to reach the quarter-finals. The likes of hooker Tevita Ikanivere and free-scoring winger Iosefo Masi had brilliant campaigns, while all five halfbacks are from the Drua. The one player who has yet to be blooded in the test arena is Drua prop Jone Koroiduadua, while the highest profile omission was Australian-born flyhalf Ben Volavola. Winger Vinaya Habosi was included despite being sacked by the Drua at the beginning of the season for a ""high level"" code of conduct breach. Backs Radradra, Masi, Sireli Maqala, Josua Tuisova and Jiuta Wainiqolo all won gold medals for Fiji in Sevens at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. Fiji warmed up for the World Cup by beating Samoa, Tonga and 2019 quarter-finalists Japan to comfortably win the Pacific Nations Cup. ""We have had a good journey for the last five weeks,"" Raiwalui said. ""I couldn't be more proud of the players and the input they had in all our three test matches."" Fiji will play further warm-ups against France in Nantes on Aug. 19 and England at Twickenham a week later. Quarter-finalists in 1987 and 2007, Fiji open their World Cup campaign against Wales in Bordeaux on Sept. 10 and also face Australia, Georgia and Portugal in Pool C.

NTA is responsible for Joint Entrance Examination – Main (JEE Main), National Eligibility cum Entrance Test-Undergraduate (NEET UG), National Eligibility Test (NET), Common Management Admission Test (CMAT), Graduate Pharmacy Aptitude Test (GPAT), Common University Entrance Test (CUET) and All India Ayush Post Graduate Entrance Test (AIAPGET). [3] History [ edit ] The roots of the agency can be traced to the Programme of Action 1992, related to National Policy of Education 1986, which mentioned conducting national level common entrance tests to professional and non-professional programmes of study.[4] Its actual start was in 2010 with a report submitted to the Ministry of Human Resources Development (MHRD) by a committee consisting of some of the directors of the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), which recommended that the national testing agency be ""created by an Act of Parliament"". The report mentioned that a statutory agency can ensure independence and transparency in testing of the magnitude that is being envisaged.[5] In 2013 the MHRD constituted a seven member task force to ""prepare a blue print for creating a special purpose vehicle to take the concept of National Testing Agency (NTA) forward"".[citation needed] This was following a decision made in April 2013 to set up the agency.[citation needed] In 2017 an announcement about NTA was made by the Finance Minister in the budget speech of 2017, and this was followed by cabinet approval.[6] On 7 July 2018, Union HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar stated during a press conference that the NTA will be holding the Joint Entrance Examination – Main (JEE Main) and the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test-Undergraduate (NEET UG) twice a year, and will also be holding National Eligibility Test (NET), Common Management Admission Test (CMAT) and Graduate Pharmacy Aptitude Test (GPAT).[7] Finance [ edit ] Union cabinet has granted an initial amount of ₹25 crore (equivalent to ₹35 crore or US$4.4 million in 2023) to NTA[8] to start its operations in the first year.[9] Members and their nature [ edit ] The administration of the NTA has been entrusted to the Governing Body.[10] Examinations conducted by NTA [ edit ] NTA conducts the following examinations. Controversies and credibility of NTA [ edit ] 2020 JEE Main Assam topper scam [ edit ] In 2020 Neel Nakshatra Das, a candidate for JEE Mains used a substitute to give the exam. He subsequently scored 99.8 percentile in the exam and topped in his state, Assam.[11][12] Seven persons have been arrested including Bhargav Deka, owner of a city-based coaching institute Global Edu Light, Tata Consultancy Services employees,[13] the candidate (Neel Nakshatra Das), Neel's father - Dr. Jyotirmoy Das, and an invigilator.[14][15][16] NEET (U) related [ edit ] In NEET (UG) 2020 exam, NTA incorrectly declared that Vidhi Suryavanshi of Madhya Pradesh’s Chhindwara district had only scored 6 marks which were later found out to be false after Vidhi committed suicide.[17][18] Vidhi's response sheet proved that she had actually scored 590 marks.[19] In NEET (UG) 2020 exam, NTA had allegedly declared Mridul Rawat as failed.[20][21] Rawat claimed that he challenged the NTA and after rechecking his OMR sheet and Answer Key, it was found that he is an All India Topper (ST Category).[22] Rawat also claimed that even after the rechecking, in the revised scorecard, his score was 650 but only three hundred twenty-nine were written in words.[23] NTA refuted the claims of Mridul Rawat.[24] Director-General Vineet Joshi of NTA said “An aspirant has claimed that he has 650 marks whereas he has obtained 329 marks in NEET 2020 results. The emails purported to have been written by NTA are also fake. This news has been broadcast by some local news channels in some cities. This news is totally fake, fabricated, and one-sided and news channels should have confirmed from NTA prior to broadcasting it. In the instant case, a complaint is being filed by NTA with the cybersecurity cell under the IT Act at Noida, UP.”[25] JEE (Main) 2022 technical issues [ edit ] National Testing Agency was widely criticized for the improper conduction of JEE (Main) 2022 examination. Many students faced technical issues during the examination, which resulted in lower score.[26] Glitches in answer key and response sheet of the exam were also a serious problem for the students. The agency has not considered the reconduction of the examination. Irregularity in level of question papers [ edit ] NTA has been criticized of irregularities in the difficulty level of various question papers of JEE (Main), which leads to normalization of marks and ultimately, lower score.

He is the singer, songwriter, and guitarist for the rock band Seether. Early life [ edit ] Morgan spent most of his early life in South Africa.[1] His parents divorced when he was still a child. Morgan is one of three children; he had a brother, Eugene, who killed himself in 2007, and a sister, Lucy. He was a student at Merchiston Preparatory School and Maritzburg College in Pietermaritzburg, where he became a prolific front-row rugby player for his age-group's top teams in his first three years of high school. In his third year of playing rugby, Morgan injured his back and was unable to play anymore, which then led to him following his passion of playing guitar. At the age of fourteen, he discovered the Seattle grunge movement after listening to Nirvana's Nevermind album, which inspired him to become a musician.[1] Career [ edit ] Morgan performing with Seether in 2010 Prior to forming the band Saron Gas, Morgan was a member of a tribute band, covering songs by musicians such as Creed and Tom Petty. In May 1999, the band Saron Gas was created.[2] They were originally a four-piece, but when the singer and guitarist did not turn up to the first practice, the band decided to stay as a three-piece, with Morgan on lead vocals and guitar.[2] Saron Gas enjoyed moderate success before the bass player decided to quit in January 2000, causing Morgan to get in touch with the only other good bass player he knew, Dale Stewart. The band released an album later that year, entitled Fragile. In January 2002, they relocated to the United States to sign with Wind-up Records. During this time, the band's original drummer returned home to South Africa, whilst the two remaining members were left to think of a new band name, at the request of Wind-up. Eventually they settled on Seether, after the Veruca Salt song of the same name.[2] Around this time, Morgan decided to use his middle name as his last name professionally while performing for Seether because some Americans have a hard time pronouncing ""Welgemoed"". Seether went on to release their debut major-label album, Disclaimer, on 20 August 2002, which was remixed and rereleased as Disclaimer II with a few additional songs in 2004. Since then, Seether has released six more studio albums: Karma and Effect (2005), Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces (2007), Holding Onto Strings Better Left to Fray (2011), Isolate and Medicate (2014), Poison the Parish (2017) and Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum (2020). In addition, they released the live CD/DVD One Cold Night in 2006. In 2013, Morgan collaborated with Hall of Fame band Lynyrd Skynyrd and guitarist John 5 on ""Sad Song"", a track that appeared on the special edition of Lynyrd Skynyrd's album Last of a Dyin' Breed.[3] Bands that have influenced Morgan include Nirvana, Portishead, Silverchair, The Beatles, Metallica, Stone Temple Pilots, Nine Inch Nails, Mad Season, Rage Against the Machine, Black Sabbath, Korn, Soundgarden, Led Zeppelin, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, and Deftones.[4] Equipment [ edit ] Shaun Morgan was originally offered an endorsement and a signature model with PRS, but declined.[5] He became endorsed by Schecter Guitars early in his career and stayed with them until 2019. He now plays an Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay RS guitar.[6] Personal life [ edit ] From 2003 to 2005, Morgan dated Evanescence singer Amy Lee.[7] Morgan checked into rehab in July 2006.[8][9] Lee wrote the song ""Call Me When You're Sober"" about her relationship with him.[10] On 13 August 2007, Morgan's brother Eugene Welgemoed killed himself by jumping from an eighth-floor window of the Radisson Hotel in Rapid City, South Dakota, shortly after midnight. According to police, no foul play was suspected.[11] A few weeks later, Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces was released. As the album was finished, there was no delay to its issue but the record was dedicated to Eugene and featured a memorial. Seether's song ""Rise Above This"" is a tribute to Eugene, written a few weeks before his death.[12] Morgan has 1308 tattooed on his four right fingers, and 2007 on his four left fingers, marking the date his brother died. In May 2021, Morgan married his longtime partner, Jordan Kirby, with whom he has a daughter.[13] Discography [ edit ] Saron Gas [ edit ] Fragile (1999) Seether [ edit ] Studio albums Live albums Digital albums iTunes Originals – Seether (2008) (2008) Rhapsody Originals – Seether (2008) Collaborations [ edit ]",0

King Charles and Queen Camilla are gearing for their next royal engagement following their three-day visit to France which wrapped over the weekend.

The Buckingham Palace announced that the King and Queen will be welcoming the President of South Korea, Yoon Suk Yeol, and his wife, First Lady Kim Keon Hee, to the U.K. in the autumn season.

“The President of the Republic of Korea, His Excellency Yoon Suk Yeol, accompanied by Mrs Kim Keon Hee, has accepted an invitation from His Majesty The King to pay a State Visit to the United Kingdom in November,” the statement said. “The King and Queen will host the State Visit at Buckingham Palace.”

The date of the visit and accompanying details will be announced in due course.

The last time Charles and Yoon met was last year when heads of state and official overseas guests gathered at the Buckingham Palace on the evening before Queen Elizabeth’s state funeral.

Like many visiting dignitaries, Yoon signed a book of condolence at Church House in London that day.

State visits hold a lot of weight among the many diplomatic duties of the British Royal Family. The visits usually begin with a ceremonial welcome from the monarch and other members of the royal family at Horse Guards Parade.

The guests are given a carriage procession which is followed by the lavish dinner state dinner held in the ballroom of Buckingham Palace, via Royal.UK.",0

( Image Source : Screengrab )

David Warner is one of the most highly-rated openers Australia has ever produced. Warner is currently taking part in the three-match ODI series against India. While playing in the second ODI, Warner did something that grabbed viewers' attention. Australia's opener started batting right-handed against India’s veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin.

When he came out to bat, he batted with his left hand but then in the 13th over of the game, he decided to take a right-hander's stance. Warner played the first ball for a single and then played a brilliant sweep that raced towards the fine-leg boundary. Fans were stunned to see Warner’s right-hand batting.

Australia were asked to chase down a revised total of 317 runs in 33 overs after rain affected the game. Warner batted well and smashed 53 runs. Ever since Warner departed, Australian batters could not manage to stay long as they kept losing wickets at regular intervals at the Holkar stadium in Indore.

Talking about the game, the Men in Blue outplayed Australia by 99 runs in the second ODI, clinching the three-game series 2-0. Earlier, India batted first where Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer scored brilliant hundreds. Skipper KL Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav also batted well and collected their half-centuries to help India put 399-5 in 50 overs.

Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja starred with the ball as both went on to scalp three wickets each. Other wicket-takers were Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Shami who picked up two and a wicket respectively.

Post winning the game, Indian skipper KL Rahul said, “When I saw the wicket in the morning, I didn't think it would spin so much. Putting 400 on the board gives you confidence. It's not really our decision to make. Our jobs are clear. Everyone who gets picked in the XI, needs to focus on their job. Everyone has gone through this, you need to keep getting better and wait for the opportunities.”",0

It is a towering example of both the International Style and the elegant pin-striped steel-and-glass buildings Mies crafted in the postwar era. Rising on a narrow site along the Chicago River, the prominent black slab is located between two other Chicago landmarks, the 1967 Marina City and the glittery massiveness of the Trump Tower (completed 2009). Mies, the final director of the famed Bauhaus school of design, fled Nazi Germany in 1937 and moved to Chicago, where he directed the School of Architecture at the Armour Institute (later the Illinois Institute of Technology) for 20 years. His residential high-rises at 860–880 North Lake Shore Drive brought to prominence the black steel-and-glass aesthetic featured in what was then known as the IBM Building, and he designed numerous corporate and government high-rises in this style, including the Federal Center in Chicago’s Loop and the Seagram Building on Park Avenue in New York. The IBM Building was Mies’s swan song; he completed the drawings only weeks before his death in August 1969. The building was renamed in 2013 when the American Medical Association moved its headquarters there. Britannica Quiz Which Is Taller? Quiz Mies was already in failing health when he was taken to see the 1.6-acre (0.65-hectare) trapezoidal lot for the IBM Building—where railroad tracks traced the Chicago River just north of the Loop and west of North Michigan Avenue—and he famously asked, “Where’s the site?” He compensated for the small, irregularly shaped site with a pronounced vertical slab whose narrow end faces the river, rising on a highly elevated plaza that grants the composition a commanding presence. The building is set back to allow views of Marina City while still garnering lakefront vistas from inside and provides a pivot point as the river jogs to the north. The soaring 26-foot- (7.9-metre-) high lobby features marble, granite, and travertine in a spare aesthetic that emphasizes its height and transparency. (The lobby also contains a bust of Mies by Italian sculptor Marino Marini.) Designed for the computer company in an era of room-sized computers that required massive cooling units, the classic building nonetheless retains the timeless “universal” quality embodied in Mies’s quip that “we don’t invent a new architecture every Monday morning.”",0

They ended up bagging the best batter and best bowler award, respectively, as their team romped to a 138-run victory at the Parsee Gymkhana. HT Image While Ira slammed 119 runs in a mere 59 balls, pace-bowling all-rounder Prisha picked three wickets for just five runs. These performances led to both of them getting selected for the Mumbai girls’ age-group team. Prisha first studied in Swami Vivekanand International School, where Dinesh Lad was the coach. She shifted to Sharadashram in 2020, where she wasn’t in the playing XI initially but went on to become the captain of the team. “This season was the best as I was leading my team and we won the final,” she said. “I thank HT-MSSA for honouring me, and my parents, school, teachers and personal coach Kiran Kambli for supporting me.” Both Ira and Prisha were introduced to the sport by their respective fathers, with their families lending full support to them as they juggle academics with cricket. “I picked up the sport when I was eight years old. My father taught me the basics of batting and would keep bowling at me,” said Ira. Prisha added: “My first brush with cricket came with the 2017 Women’s ODI World Cup. I saw all the matches on TV and felt that I can also do this. Since I’m a bowling all-rounder, my inspiration was Jhulan Goswami and in batting, it is Mithali Raj.” Ira, who trains at Shivaji Park, may not have any cricketing idol but is just as passionate about making it to the Indian team one day.

It will hit the market on October 12.Japan is said to have one of the longest life spans in the world, and the greatest number of centenarians - many of whom cite their strong sense of Ikigai as the basis for their happiness and longevity.Unlike many ""self-care"" practices, which require setting aside time in an increasingly busy world, the Ikigai method helps one find peace and fulfilment in a busy life.The authors term their book as a ""tool that can revolutionise your future by helping you understand your past so that you can live your present the way you want to"".In order to whittle that tool into shape, Garcia and Miralles set off on a new journey across Japan, the country that inspired their first collaboration, in search of essential lessons to make Ikigai the centre of the universe and a driving force for change that will enable readers to achieve their life mission.The author duo came across the 'Shinkansen effect' while researching the ""Japanese miracle"", which took place between 1960 and 1980, when Japan left its post-war devastation behind to become the second largest economy in the world.The mission of Garcia and Miralles in the first part of their book was to bring the ""Japanese miracle"" to the personal life of each of their readers and achieve an exponential leap.""Yet although the Shinkansen effect concept is a fascinating one, not everything in life is about doing things better and faster. In the journey we are about to undertake, we have developed techniques to make our past fuel our present, and in turn, for our present to light the way to a future in which we accomplish what we set out to do,"" they write.In their first book ""Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life"", they explored the concept of Ikigai but left a key question to the reader: ""How to find your Ikigai?""""In our second book, we answer this question and guide the reader with 35 stories travelling around Japan and practical exercises to explore your life and help all of us to find our Ikigai,"" they say.The book suggests 35 keys to living one's Ikigai. These include: if one aims to improve by 10 per cent, he or she needs to work to improve by 100 per cent; at least one 'impossibility' should be included in day-to-day agenda; 21 days should be devoted to implement a positive, new habit; and he or she should ask people they trust for feedback on what he or she is doing.It takes the readers beyond the discovery of their Ikigai with life-changing exercises outside of their comfort zone. ""The Ikigai Journey"" reinforces the concept of change in people's lives as inevitable, a constant transformation depending on the phase of life.The book has three sections: Journey Through the Future: Tokyo (a symbol of modernity and innovation); Journey Through the Past: Kyoto (an ancient capital moored in tradition); and Journey Through the Present: Ise (an ancient shrine that is destroyed and rebuilt every 20 years).",0

In 1914, the Indian Football Association (IFA) permitted only two native clubs in the CFL Second Division; It Aryan one of them.[35] In that season, Mohun Bagan earned promotion to the Premier Division but Aryan was promoted to the top division two years later.[36][37] Under Majumdar's coaching, Aryan achieved fourth place in 1920–21 Calcutta Football League and reached the semi-finals of Rovers Cup in 1928. Legendary footballers Balaidas Chatterjee and Karuna Bhattacharya appeared with Aryan at that time.[38][39] While Aryan didn't enjoy the same degree of success as Mohun Bagan, they did perform well in patches. The club participated consecutively in the Calcutta Football League with their rivals, and Mohammed Salim (first Indian footballer who played for an overseas club) was one of the legendary players who appeared with Aryan in 1933–34.[40][41][42] In the mid-1930s, Dukhiram's nephew Santosh Kumar ""Chone"" Majumder became head coach of the club.[43] One of Aryan's greatest moments came in 1940, that year, they won IFA Shield defeating Mohun Bagan 4–1, one of India's premier tournaments.[44][45] They became only the 3rd Indian run club to win the prestigious title. Moreover, they crushed Mohun Bagan 4–1 in the final. In the 40s, Alil Dey and Modassar Yasin Ali Khan from Tangail, became two of the earliest known Bangladeshi footballers to play for the club.[46] Iconic Indian footballer Sahu Mewalal had two stints with Aryan from 1945 to 1946 and 1956 to 1957.[47] Aryan enjoyed another spell of success in mid-1950s, reaching the final of IFA Shield in 1955 and 1956 with an ageing Sahu Mewalal in their ranks, who scored multiple hat-tricks for the team.[48][49][50] He also emerged as top scorer of CFL in 1949, 1951, 1953, 1954, and 1958.[51] Before or after gaining independence from the British raj, Aryan participated in every Calcutta Football League editions (until the formation of Premier Division B),[3][52][53] which is Asia's oldest football league.[54] During that time, legendary players from Bengal including Sanat Seth[55] have appeared with the club colours. As the years progressed they gradually lost their status as a top club, instead Aryan became the breeding ground of some of the most famous players in Kolkata maidan. Players like Pradip Kumar Banerjee,[56][57][58][59] Prasun Banerjee, Sanat Seth,[60] Pradyut Barman,[60] Goutam Sarkar,[61] Jahar Das,[62] and Sudhir Karmakar started out in Aryan, before moving on to the bigger clubs. Balai Dey, the only footballer who represented the two nations India and Pakistan in international football,[63] appeared with Aryan in 1967.[64][65] Other than another IFA Shield win in 1983 (title shared with East Bengal), Aryan didn't achieve a lot of success in modern era.[66] On the morning of 5 August 1971, the Naxalite intellectual and poet Saroj Dutta was killed by the police in the grounds of the Aryan club on the Calcutta maidan.[67] In 1975, Aryan emerged champion of Churachand Singh Invitation Trophy defeating Rajasthan Club.[68] In 1998, Aryan reached the final of All Airlines Gold Cup but lost 4–3 to East Bengal in penalty-shootout. They again finished on second position in 2010. In June 2023, the Indian Football Association (IFA) announced the merger of both Premier Division A and B of the Calcutta Football League (CFL) ahead of its 125th edition, in which Aryan was included in Group II.[70][71][72][73] Home ground [ edit ] East Bengal-Aryan Ground on a matchday Aryan FC plays most of their home matches of Calcutta Premier Division at the East Bengal Ground,[74][75] which is located in Kolkata Maidan area and has a capacity of 23,500 spectators.[76][77] East Bengal Ground layout with the Aryan gallery The stadium is officially known as East Bengal–Aryan Ground,[78] having Aryan AC gallery in its northeastern part.

These poems, unlike the ones in ""Geetanjali"", are written by a young and romantic Tagore and also have poems on mother-child relationship. The collection brings together two of the greatest poets of our land, Tagore and Gulzar. This two-book set is his tribute to the poet laureate of India. Baaghbaan comprises his translations of Tagore’s poems gleaned from collections such as Chitra, Kshanika and Sonar Tari while Nindiya Chor is based mostly on Shishu, Tagore’s book of poems on the world of the child. Alongside Gulzar’s inimitable translations come the poems in the Bengali original and English translation. ""We need to understand that Tagore wasn’t born with his beard. What he has written as a young, romantic and handsome man hasn’t been acknowledged as much as it deserves to be. I really want the children to read and enjoy Tagore,” said Gulzar. Gulzar discovered Tagore at the age of ten through an Urdu translation of “The Gardener” and instantly fell in love with his poetry. The one who gave him this book did not imagine how it would affect young Gulzar’s mind. “ Jis insaan ne mujhe ye kitaab di use ye nahi pata tha ki vo meri zindagi ko ek naya mod de raha hai. Us din ke baad se kitaabonki meri talaash badal gayi.” Gulzar’s fascination with Bangla grew in the company of Bengali friends at school and also later in life he married a Bengali. “Writing love letters to my beloved in Bengali made me more fluent with the language and I think that’s the perfect way to learn a language. Fall in love with a girl who speaks the language you want to learn,” Gulzar chuckles. Since his first encounter with Tagore, Gulzar has read numerous works and considers Tagore as one of his greatest inspirations. Gulzar mentions in astonishment how Tagore, despite losing his own mother at a very young age, writes so beautifully about the relationship between a mother and a child.. When asked about choosing to translate these particular poems by Tagore, Gulzar replies in a tone of admiration, “These poems tell us about Tagore’s unique observation of body language as well as understanding and projecting of feminine feelings.” Talking about the process of translation, Gulzar added, “I am not happy with the available English translations of Tagore’s poetry. While translating any piece of writing, one should make sure that the images associated to the poems aren’t lost. Language carries a certain culture along with it and it is necessary to keep that feature intact in the translated poem as well. That is what I have tried to do for the past five years. I have translated his poems and managed to keep the images intact. The only thing that can’t be translated is the alliteration in Tagore’s poems in Bengali. Bus jee chahta tha ki baata jaaye ye sab mein. (My heart said that it should be shared.” The discussion was followed by a lovely reading session, with Sharmila reading the poems in Bengali and Gulzar reciting them in Hindi. On being asked if he would translate more of Tagore’s poems, Gulzar replied, “Beta ye ek aadmi aur ek zindagi ka kaam nahin par haan ye shuruat zaroor hai. (This work can’t be completed by one person, in one life time. It is just the beginning)” Sharmila, whose parents were distantly related to the Nobel laureate, said nobody could have done it better than Gulzar. ""The visuals, the images and the essence of Tagore’s poems have been woven so well, it’s commendable. This really is the amalgamation of the two most important Indian poets. I’m humbled to be present here and recite Tagore for you.""",0

The kind of money that Argentina command (as appearance fee) is huge and we have limitations in terms of our economic situation in football .”Pablo Joaquin Diaz, head of international relations, represented the Argentina FA in talks with AIFF. Since winning the World Cup, Argentina has become the most in-demand football team, with Messi ’s team commanding a fee of $4-5 million (approximately Rs 32-40 crore).Argentina’s initial plan was to play two friendlies in South Asia: one in India and another one in Bangladesh, but none of the countries could come up with the necessary funds at short notice, prompting the world champions to play Australia in Beijing on June 15 and Indonesia in Jakarta on June 19.The world champions are understood to have passed on the chance to play friendlies in the United States during this window as it embarks on a plan to capitalise on its global appeal.Given the disparity in rankings between Argentina and India, AIFF would have had to arrange another team to play the world champions. Argentina are ranked world No. 1 while India are ranked hundred places behind at 101.“There would have been too much of a mismatch if India played (Argentina),” said Prabhakaran.Diaz, head of international relations at the Argentina FA, has continued talks with Prabhakaran and the two countries could, sooner or later, arrive at an understanding over a partnership.“We are interested in having some sort of partnership with the Argentina FA. There is lot of interest from Argentina too, even from their clubs,” said Prabhakaran.Early this year, Argentina’s Ambassador to India, Hugo Javier Gobbi, gifted Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan a national team jersey in appreciation for the state’s support for Argentina during the World Cup in Qatar.Argentina have played in India before: in 2011 when Messi captained the team to a solitary goal win against Venezuela at the Salt Lake stadium where 85,000 spectators watched and then went home delirious with joy.This time around, India would have seen Messi and Argentina as world champions for the first time, but at a huge cost.",0

But new technologies are helping to pare back these obstacles and create a more level playing field for smaller companies in international trade. Helping more MSMEs to trade internationally is an important step in building a more inclusive trading system that benefits a wider array of citizens. Call for proposals The ICC and the WTO are calling for businesses and private sector organizations to step forward with new and innovative proposals which can help MSMEs to participate in international trade. The aim is to raise awareness of the barriers that MSMEs face in doing business across borders, highlight the experiences and success stories of those MSMEs that are already trading, facilitate access to critical information, and raise skills among MSMEs to enable them to diversify export markets. What kind of proposals are we looking for under this initiative? Proposals could take the shape of, for example, awareness-raising campaigns, competitions or capacity building, training and mentoring programmes. The ICC and the WTO will use their shared platform to support and promote successful proposals. The precise support provided by the ICC and the WTO will depend on the nature of the proposals received. The ICC and the WTO could, for example, help to promote initiatives and host events or provide expertise and institutional support. No financial contribution will be provided by the WTO or the ICC to implement proposals. Proposals should be designed to be delivered by the entity making the proposal. Proposals should not focus on WTO negotiations, or proposed changes to WTO rules. Such ideas can be put forward through different fora. What is the process for submitting proposals – and how will they be selected? Proposals should detail the concept, aims, timelines and other information as appropriate. Proposals should be no longer than three pages. Proposals are only open to the private sector and representative bodies. All proposals should be sent to the following address in Word or PDF format: [email protected] The call for proposals is open until the end of 2017. There is no limitation as to the number of proposals that may be selected. The selection of proposals will be carried out by the WTO Secretariat and the ICC. The successful proposals will be announced by the ICC and the WTO on a rolling basis.

The Sudanese delegation was led by H.E Ali Giddo Adam Bashr, Minister of Trade and Supply and Chief Negotiator for WTO Accession. Following an informal meeting of the working party on 17 March, Sudan's transitional government provided members with many documents needed for the full resumption of the accession process. These include revised market access offers in both goods and services, a revised Legislative Action Plan as well as texts of seven new laws for the improvement of the trading and investment environment, and draft legislation for the protection of intellectual property rights. The WTO Secretariat also prepared a revised factual summary reflecting changes to Sudan's trade regime since 2019. In addition, Sudan has concluded market access agreements with six members to date and is currently engaging with other members to advance and conclude the remaining negotiations. Minister Bashr noted: “The transitional government has placed economic reform as one of its priorities and WTO accession is one of the vehicles to drive this agenda through Sudan's integration into the global economy. Sudan has already embarked on serious reforms despite the impact of the pandemic which exacerbated economic hardship, causing a loss of 40% of public revenue.” “Among these painful reforms was the removal of the costly subsidies on energy, intended to meet the requirement of a strong track record of macroeconomic performance to reach the decision point for debt relief.” Minister Bashr said that the Sudanese delegation to the working party meeting, consisting of senior government officials and experts from a range of ministries and government agencies, were engaged in continuous preparations for the meeting and “have demonstrated Sudan's renewed commitment to reactivate its accession process to the WTO”. His full statement is available here. WTO Deputy Director-General Zhang Xiangchen noted that “Sudan is currently going through a period of drastic transformation under the leadership of Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok despite their challenging circumstances with multiple crises that have been exacerbated by the pandemic. What Sudan and its people, especially the youth and women, have demonstrated is resilience, hope and opportunities. I see today's relaunch of the accession process as an integral part of Sudan's transformation journey — that is, Sudan being integrated into the global economy.” The working party chair said that the discussions at the meeting were “useful and productive (and) conducted in a positive spirit”. “In reviewing Sudan's economic and trade regime, we have learned a number of changes which have been introduced by the transitional government,” Mr Nagai said. “It has been particularly helpful in identifying the areas where further work and specific actions are necessary to be taken by Khartoum.” “Sudan has sent a clear message that WTO accession is now the driver of its ambitious economic reforms and provides a path for its integration into the global economy,” the chair continued. “Members have unanimously welcomed the formal resumption of Sudan's accession and have pledged full support to Sudan's efforts, including through the provision of technical assistance.” The meeting was the fifth of the working party on Sudan and the first since 2017 when talks had restarted after 13 years of impasse. In terms of next steps, the chair said the WTO Secretariat will prepare elements of a draft working party report, with members invited to submit questions and comments in writing to the Secretariat by 23 August. Sudan will also submit an updated version of the questionnaire on state trade enterprises and of the checklist on the implementation of the WTO's Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS), a further revised Legislative Action Plan, and other supporting documents requested by the working party for consideration at its next meeting. Sudan was also encouraged to intensify and advance bilateral negotiations with WTO members on market access, with a view to finalisation as soon as possible. Concerning the timing of the next working party meeting, the chair said it will depend on the availability of the required inputs and on progress on the market access front but, given the transitional government's target to advance the accession process during its mandate until 2023, members could aim at holding the sixth working party meeting early next year. The chair asked members to recall that Sudan is a least developed country and that members should keep in mind the 2002 LDC Accession Guidelines and the 2012 General Council Decision to strengthen, streamline and operationalize the 2002 Guidelines. Minister Bashr also noted the 2002 Guidelines and 2012 addendum to highlight the importance of timely provision of technical assistance in order to facilitate and accelerate its accession process. Background Any state or customs territory having full autonomy in the conduct of its trade policies may become a member the WTO, but all WTO members must agree on the terms. This is done through the establishment of a working party of WTO members and through a process of negotiations. Following the establishment of a working party, bilateral, plurilateral and multilateral negotiations take place in parallel. The successful conclusion of these negotiations leads to the drafting of an accession package, which needs to be adopted by the accession working party and approved by the WTO's General Council or Ministerial Conference. Sudan's working party was established on 25 October 1994.",0

These changes will ensure that we have a more efficient and effective system to protect local employment opportunities and respond to the development ambitions of the Islands. Ahead of these changes, the government held a series of public information sessions in May and June in Stanley and Camp, in order to explain how these changes will work in practice as well as to offer people the opportunity to ask questions. The sessions were well attended and, as a result, a new set of frequently asked questions has been compiled which respond to the queries that were raised at each event. CHANGES TO THE PERMIT SYSTEM What permits will a person need in order to work in the Falkland Islands? There will be three types of permit: Work Permit, Accompanying Dependent Permit (ADP) and Dependent Permit (DP). People will only be able to hold one of these permits at a time. ADP is a new permit type and is for the dependents of Work Permit holders. DP is also a new permit type which is for dependents of people with ‘right of abode’ in the Falklands – either Permanent Resident Permit (PRP) or Falkland Islands Status. So, every permit holder will only have to hold one permit, even if they have multiple jobs? Yes, it will be one permit for one person and they can undertake multiple jobs with that permit. This system will be managed through close collaboration between local employers and the Customs & Immigration team, and will be supported by the creation of a Registered Employer Scheme. How long does a permit last for? Work Permits, ADPs and DPs can all be issued for up to 4 years. What will happen to those currently holding Residence Permits when the new permit system comes into force? People will move across to whichever new permit is most appropriate for their situation. Current residence permits will not be cancelled and can run the length of their duration if required. Are the prices for permits changing? No, the price will be £23 for adults and £13 for those under 16. Accompanying dependents of work permit holders will now need their own permits, however on the other hand multiple work permits for those holding multiple jobs will no longer be needed. When do things change? The Immigration Amendments 2021 come into force on 1 September 2021; ahead of this, parts of the new regulations relating to employers will come into effect on 1 July 2021 to allow them to register on the Registered Employer Scheme. Is the government aware of the possible disruption that the new system may introduce? Yes, but although change can be disruptive, the new system is designed to make the permit system simpler. We have already begun a series of widescale communications and engagement activities to publicise the changes and this will continue up to 1 September. Information will also be available on the Customs & Immigration website: www.fig.gov.fk/customs WORK PERMITS AND SPONSORSHIP If there is only one permit, which employer signs the undertaking for that permit? The primary employer or sponsoring employer must sign the undertaking. What if you’re already in the Islands and are not sponsored? All permits that allow work require a sponsor and will not be issued without one and sponsorship is required in order to remain in the Falklands. Where do you stand as the primary sponsor when your employee goes off and also works for multiple other people? This is a contractual matter between the employer and employee. Are the 9-month work permits changing? No, work permits will still be available for up to 9 months. The individual will be able to complete a medical self-declaration and must hold medical insurance for the duration of their stay. No accompanying dependents are allowed. Do jobs need to be advertised if you wish to employ someone with a Dependent Permit? Yes, all jobs must be advertised before any temporary permit holder is taken on and Dependent Permits are only valid up to 4 years. The prospective employer must keep details of the advertising and be ready to demonstrate this to Customs & Immigration. PERMANENT RESIDENCE PERMIT (PRP) If I have PRP, what does my partner need in order to work? A Dependent Permit (DP) would be appropriate for the partner of someone with PRP. However, they would also be able to apply for a Work Permit should they wish. What are the benefits to the individual in having PRP? The main benefit would be knowledge that their employment is not dependent on having a temporary permit, this gives a level of job security. There are also other benefits such as the ability to purchase property or land without the need to hold a separate license, and access to free further education after a qualifying period. How will this change things for those living in Camp? The intention of these PRP changes is to protect and encourage the growth of the Camp population. Points are now available if an applicant’s primary employment is in Camp, also now that the Workforce Shortage List is being used in the process, PRP points are available for farm workers as well as shearers. PRP points are awarded to those with the South Atlantic Medal, could points also be given to former members of the UK armed forces who have served here since 1982? This is something which will be given future consideration as recognising the service of former members of UK armed forces in the Falklands is an important element of the PRP points system as it stands. Why will PRP applications now be assessed monthly? Rather than waiting for 3 months before assessing applications, the changes will allow them to be assessed each month, delivering a more efficient process and a quicker turnaround time for decisions. When will the new PRP forms be available? The new PRP forms will be available when the PRP Regulations 2021 take effect, which is on 1 September 2021.",0

Also, with the presence of the mentioned officials, the 10 MW Pejvak Omran solar power plant which is constructed in Ardakan, will be launched. Based on SATBA’s public relations and international affairs office, at present, four solar power plants (in MW) and about 202 units of small scale solar power plant (in kW) are operating with the cumulative capacity of 34.5 MW in Yazd province. Yazd province is one of the best provinces in the country for the construction of solar power plants due to the high solar radiation. Because of the prominent feature of these plants which their highest production is in line with the peak demand hours of electricity in the summer season, the central areas of the country which also have a serious water shortage challenge are a good and necessary solution to supply electricity. The report adds that the mentioned power plants have been constructed through a guaranteed power purchase from the renewable energy resources with SATBA, which is still ongoing, and investors and applicants for the construction of renewable power plants throughout the country may visit the SATBA website at www.satba.gov.ir and sign up for electronic registration. This possibility is also available for small-scale solar power plants by referring to power distribution companies throughout the country.",0

Roberts, Jr.: On behalf of the Court and retired Justices, I am saddened to report that our colleague Justice Antonin Scalia has passed away. He was an extraordinary individual and jurist, admired and treasured by his colleagues. His passing is a great loss to the Court and the country he so loyally served. We extend our deepest condolences to his wife Maureen and his family. Statement of Justice Anthony Kennedy: In years to come any history of the Supreme Court will, and must, recount the wisdom, scholarship, and technical brilliance that Justice Scalia brought to the Court. His insistence on demanding standards shaped the work of the Court in its private discussions, its oral arguments, and its written opinions. Yet these historic achievements are all the more impressive and compelling because the foundations of Justice Scalia's jurisprudence, the driving force in all his work, and his powerful personality were shaped by an unyielding commitment to the Constitution of the United States and to the highest ethical and moral standards. In the fullness of time Justice Scalia's beautiful family will be sustained by the force and dynamism of his intellect and personality, attributes that were so decent and so powerful; but now they mourn. We give them assurances of our deepest sympathy and our lasting friendship. Statement of Justice Clarence Thomas: Justice Scalia was a good man; a wonderful husband who loved his wife and his family; a man of strong faith; a towering intellect; a legal giant; and a dear, dear friend. In every case, he gave it his all to get the broad principles and the small details right. Virginia and I are deeply saddened by his sudden and untimely death. Our prayers and love go out to Maureen and the Scalia family. It is hard to imagine the Court without my friend. I will miss him beyond all measure. Statement of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg: Toward the end of the opera Scalia/Ginsburg, tenor Scalia and soprano Ginsburg sing a duet: ""We are different, we are one,"" different in our interpretation of written texts, one in our reverence for the Constitution and the institution we serve. From our years together at the D.C. Circuit, we were best buddies. We disagreed now and then, but when I wrote for the Court and received a Scalia dissent, the opinion ultimately released was notably better than my initial circulation. Justice Scalia nailed all the weak spots-the ""applesauce"" and ""argle bargle""-and gave me just what I needed to strengthen the majority opinion. He was a jurist of captivating brilliance and wit, with a rare talent to make even the most sober judge laugh. The press referred to his ""energetic fervor,"" ""astringent intellect,"" ""peppery prose,"" ""acumen,"" and ""affability,"" all apt descriptions. He was eminently quotable, his pungent opinions so clearly stated that his words never slipped from the reader's grasp. Justice Scalia once described as the peak of his days on the bench an evening at the Opera Ball when he joined two Washington National Opera tenors at the piano for a medley of songs. He called it the famous Three Tenors performance. He was, indeed, a magnificent performer. It was my great good fortune to have known him as working colleague and treasured friend. Statement of Justice Stephen G. Breyer: Nino Scalia was a legal titan. He used his great energy, fine mind, and stylistic genius to further the rule of law as he saw it. He was man of integrity and wit. His interests were wide ranging as was his knowledge about law, this Nation and its Constitution. He loved his family. He also loved ideas, music, and the out of doors. He shared with us, his colleagues, his enthusiasms, his humor, his mental agility, his seriousness of purpose. We benefitted greatly. His contribution to the law was a major one. Our hearts go out to Maureen and his family. We have lost a fine colleague and a very good friend. We shall miss him hugely. Statement of Justice Samuel Alito: Martha-Ann and I are deeply saddened by the terrible news. Nino was a remarkable person, and I feel very honored to have known him and to have had him as a colleague. He was a towering figure who will be remembered as one of the most important figures in the history of the Supreme Court and a scholar who deeply influenced our legal culture. His intellect, learning, wit, and memorable writing will be sorely missed, and Martha-Ann and I will deeply miss him as a friend. We will keep Nino, Maureen, and their family in our prayers. Statement of Justice Sonia Sotomayor: My colleague Nino Scalia was devoted to his family, friends, our Court, and our country. He left an indelible mark on our history. I will miss him and the dimming of his special light is a great loss for me. My thoughts are with Maureen, his children, and his grandchildren. Statement of Justice Elena Kagan: Nino Scalia will go down in history as one of the most transformational Supreme Court Justices of our nation. His views on interpreting texts have changed the way all of us think and talk about the law. I admired Nino for his brilliance and erudition, his dedication and energy, and his peerless writing. And I treasured Nino's friendship: I will always remember, and greatly miss, his warmth, charm, and generosity. Maureen and the whole Scalia family are in my thoughts and prayers. Statement of Justice Sandra Day O'Connor (Retired): I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of my dear friend and colleague, Justice Antonin Scalia. Nino was a tireless public servant who left an indelible mark on the Court and on our jurisprudence. His gifts of wisdom, wit, and wordsmithing were unparalleled, and he will be sorely missed. Statement of Justice John Paul Stevens (Retired): Nino Scalia was a good friend, a brilliant man with an incomparable sense of humor, and as articulate as any Justice who ever served on the Court. He has had a major impact on the development of the law, and earned the respect of all his colleagues. We will all miss him. Statement of Justice David H. Souter (Retired): Nino was a good friend, and I hate to think that we'll never sit down together again to argue and tell a few stories and have some fun. I will always miss him.",0

He was assigned female at birth and given the name “Jennie Hodgers,” but at a young age began to dress as a boy and assumed a male identity. According to stories, Cashier’s step-father, short on money, dressed him as a boy to get a job. After Cashier’s mother died, he moved to Illinois and worked as a laborer, farmhand, and shepherd. In August of 1862, ""Private Albert D.J. Cashier"" enlisted in the army at Belvidere, Illinois. Diminutive in size, Cashier resembled many Irishmen of the time. He continued to go unnoticed. No one thought anything of a quiet soldier seeking privacy for bathing and dressing. This was common. All in all, Cashier fought as an infantryman in forty battles. Even when receiving treatment for chronic diarrhea, his secret was not detected. In May, 1863, Private Cashier participated in the Siege of Vicksburg, during which he was captured while performing a reconnaissance mission. He escaped by wrestling a gun away from a Confederate and was chased on foot, narrowly reaching the safety of the Union lines. Private Cashier served a full enlistment. Even well after the war his comrades remembered the slight soldier as a brave fighter, admired for heroic actions and undertaking dangerous assignments, yet never receiving a scratch. After the war Cashier returned to Illinois, taking work doing odd jobs for Illinois State Senator Ira Lish. On one fateful day, Senator Lish ran Cashier over with his car, breaking his leg. It was then that the town doctor discovered Cashier’s secret. Moved by Cashier’s pleas, the doctor agreed to maintain his confidence. This was a soldier with a pension. Had the secret been revealed, not only would the pension be revoked, but Cashier would have been forced to live as a woman. Cashier's leg never healed, and the Senator arranged for him to be placed in a rest home for veterans. While the staff was aware of Cashier's secret, they never broke his confidence. Over time, Cashier’s physical and mental health deteriorated, and he was sent to the Watertown State Hospital for the Insane in 1914. Soon thereafter, facility staff discovered his secret. Newspapers leaked the story, which stirred controversy. The government charged Private Albert Cashier with defrauding the government to receive a military pension. An investigation was launched. Cashier’s comrades from the 95th Illinois rallied and testified that this was not Jennie Hodgers but Albert Cashier, a small but brave soldier who showed bravery on dangerous missions. In the end, Cashier maintained his veteran status. Despite this, he was kept in the mental institution and forced to wear women’s clothing. This took a great toll on his mental state. At 67 years old, frail and unaccustomed to walking in women's clothing, he tripped and broke his hip. He never recovered from the injury and spent the rest of his life bedridden and died on October 10, 1915. He was buried in uniform with full military honors. Many scholars suggest that if he had been alive today, Cashier may have identified as a transgender man.",0

Francis,"On This Page Navigation Introduction When the city of Lowell became the first successful planned industrial city in America, it not only revolutionized manufacturing but also created a new way of life: a life ruled by time, a life powered by new opportunities. Perhaps one of the most enduring legacies left to the city of Lowell was that of James Bicheno Francis. Throughout Francis’s life his bold and innovative ideas made him one of the driving minds behind America’s Industrial Revolution.

Perhaps one of the most enduring legacies left to the city of Lowell was that of James Bicheno Francis. Throughout Francis’s life his bold and innovative ideas made him one of the driving minds behind America’s Industrial Revolution. The house of the Chief Engineer of Locks and Canals Early Life James B. Francis was born in Southleigh, Oxfordshire, England, on May 18, 1815 where he served as an apprentice to his father for four years at the Port Craw Railway and Harbor Works in South Wales. Francis immigrated to the United States in the spring of 1833 and almost immediately found work under the watch of George Washington Whistler, the father of painter James McNeill Whistler. Together they worked on the construction of Stonington Railroad. One year later in 1834 both men moved to the young city of Lowell where Whistler became the chief engineer of the Proprietors of Locksand Canals, the owners of the canals in Lowell. Francis remained as an assistant to Whistler and one of his early tasks was to make detailed drawings of locomotives. These drawings were the blueprints for the railroad construction in New England. Francis’s life changed forever in 183 when George Washington Whistler resigned, left Lowell to work on one of Russia’s major railroads, and appointed the 22 year old James B. Francis his successor as the Chief Engineer of Locks and Canals. James B.

The Northern Canal in downtown Lowell in 1928 ""The Chief of Police of Water"" In 1841 the Proprietors of Locks and Canals appointed Francis the task of determining the quantities of water drawn by the mills along the canal. Much impressed with Francis’s work, the proprietors, in addition to Chief Engineer, bestowed upon him the title of Manager of Locks and Canals in 1845. The people of Lowell also gave Francis another title. They nicknamed him “The Chief of Police of Water” due to his strict and scientific management of Lowell’s waterways. In 1845 Francis designed and implemented the first sprinkler system at one of the Suffolk Mill Picker Houses. His motivation for designing and incorporating them was simple: he realized that the risk of fire was very high and that his ingenious idea could save lives. By 1846 Francis developed a new power canal to provide water power to the mills. Eighteen months later in 1848 the Northern Canal completed the 5.6 miles of canals in Lowell. It was also the largest canal in the system measuring 100 feet in width, 1.5 miles long and ranging from 17 to 20 feet in depth. With the completion of the Northern Canal, water flow increased by 50 percent.

An illustration of a water powered turbine Turbines With the canal system completed, Francis next turned his attention to turbines. Originally the mills had used waterwheels or breast-wheels that rotated when filled with water. These types of wheels could achieve a 65 percent efficiency rate. One such problem with these wheels was backwater which prevented the wheel from turning. Studying the Boyden turbine Francis was able to redesign it to increase efficiency. Constructing turbines as “sideways water wheels,” Francis was able to achieve an astounding 88 percent efficiency rate. After further experimenting, Francis developed the mixed flow reaction turbine which later became an American standard. Twenty-two of the “Francis turbines” reside in Hoover Dam to this day. His work on these turbines was later published as The Lowell Hydraulic Experiments in 1855. With the canal system completed, Francis next turned his attention to turbines.

His work on these turbines was later published as The Lowell Hydraulic Experiments in 1855. The Gate Due to Lowell’s changing landscape by the late 1840s, Francis realized that the granite structures at Guard Locks could keep the water back, but the lock chamber doors would not. If the water level ever rose too high, the city could flood. After reading the notes of his friend Uriah Boyden, Francis realized that a flood hit the area in the year 1785. After completion of the Northern Canal in 1848, Francis recognized the weakest point of Lowell was Guard Locks. His plan was to build a 27 foot tall, 25 foot wide, 21 ton gate made of Georgia Pine and treated with a zinc compound to prevent from rotting. This gate would be dropped if the need should ever arise. The gate was completed in the year 1850 and deemed impractical, but, on the morning of April 22, 1852 was put to the test as the city was in danger of flooding. At 3:15 am, the iron shackle that held the gate in place was shattered, the gate was dropped, and the city was saved. No one knows who actually severed the shackle and saved the city, but many suspect it was Isaac Page, the gatekeeper at Guard Locks. For some there was no doubt that James B. Francis was a hero. However, those on the other side of the gate, chiefly those living on the banks of the Merrimack River, did not hail him as a hero for his gate contributed to the flooding of their homes. The Proprietors of Locks and Canals and James B. Francis realized that the canals and the mills were what needed to be preserved. Eighty-four years after the gate first plunged it was dropped again in the year 1936. The gate remained down in the canal for fourteen years before being raised again in 1950. During this time the gate protected the city during the flood of 1936 and the hurricane of 1938. In 2006 the need for the “Great Gate” arose again. However, the gate was not dropped; instead a new gate was created using simple steel beams in the form of a “stop-log” system similar to James B. Francis’s wooden design one hundred and fifty years earlier.

However, those on the other side of the gate, chiefly those living on the banks of the Merrimack River, did not hail him as a hero for his gate contributed to the flooding of their homes. The Proprietors of Locks and Canals and James B. Francis realized that the canals and the mills were what needed to be preserved. Eighty-four years after the gate first plunged it was dropped again in the year 1936. The gate remained down in the canal for fourteen years before being raised again in 1950. During this time the gate protected the city during the flood of 1936 and the hurricane of 1938. In 2006 the need for the “Great Gate” arose again. However, the gate was not dropped; instead a new gate was created using simple steel beams in the form of a “stop-log” system similar to James B. Francis’s wooden design one hundred and fifty years earlier. Later Life Even in his later life James B. Francis had little time on his hands. In addition to his work in Lowell he also consulted on the construction of the Quaker Bridge Dam on the Croton River in New York and the retaining dam at St. Anthony’s Falls on the Mississippi River. Francis retired as Chief Engineer in 1884 when his son, James, succeeded him. Francis was asked to remain on as a consulting engineer through 1892. Even though he was retired Francis served as a member of the Massachusetts State Legislature for one year, a member of the city council for five years, and a director of the Lowell Gas Light Company for 43 years. The rest of his life was spent in Lowell with his wife Sarah and his six children in their home on Worthen Street, which was formerly the home of George Washington Whistler, currently the Whistler House Museum. James B. Francis died on September 18th 1892 at the age of 77. He is buried in Lowell Cemetery and his grave is built out of granite, just like the canals, and those granite stones are laid in a similar way as the canal granite. Those who knew James B. Francis personally remarked about his excellent judgment and his quiet sense of humor. Even though James B. Francis never worked in a mill or personally dug a canal, his contributions helped to propel the Industrial Revolution and Lowell into the 20th Century. Even in his later life James B.

For many years, historians considered the Virginia Rebellion of 1676 to be the first stirring of revolutionary sentiment in America, which culminated in the American Revolution almost exactly one hundred years later. However, in the past few decades, based on findings from a more distant viewpoint, historians have come to understand Bacon's Rebellion as a power struggle between two stubborn, selfish leaders rather than a glorious fight against tyranny. The central figures in Bacon's Rebellion were opposites. Governor Sir William Berkeley, seventy when the crisis began, was a veteran of the English Civil Wars, a frontier Indian fighter, a King's favorite in his first term as Governor in the 1640's, and a playwright and scholar. His name and reputation as Governor of Virginia were well respected. Berkeley's antagonist, young Nathaniel Bacon, Jr., was actually Berkeley's cousin by marriage. Lady Berkeley, Frances Culpeper, was Bacon's cousin. Bacon was a troublemaker and schemer whose father sent him to Virginia in the hope that he would mature. Although disdainful of labor, Bacon was intelligent and eloquent. Upon Bacon's arrival, Berkeley treated his young cousin with respect and friendship, giving him both a substantial land grant and a seat on the council in 1675. Bacon's Rebellion can be attributed to a myriad of causes, all of which led to dissent in the Virginia colony. Economic problems, such as declining tobacco prices, growing commercial competition from Maryland and the Carolinas, an increasingly restricted English market, and the rising prices from English manufactured goods (mercantilism) caused problems for the Virginians. There were heavy English losses in the latest series of naval wars with the Dutch and, closer to home, there were many problems caused by weather. Hailstorms, floods, dry spells, and hurricanes rocked the colony all in the course of a year and had a damaging effect on the colonists. These difficulties encouraged the colonists to find a scapegoat against whom they could vent their frustrations and place the blame for their misfortunes. The colonists found their scapegoat in the form of the local Indians. The trouble began in July 1675 with a raid by the Doeg Indians on the plantation of Thomas Mathews, located in the Northern Neck section of Virginia near the Potomac River. Several of the Doegs were killed in the raid, which began in a dispute over the nonpayment of some items Mathews had apparently obtained from the tribe. The situation became critical when, in a retaliatory strike by the colonists, they attacked the wrong Indians, the Susquehanaugs, which caused large scale Indian raids to begin. St. Maries Citty Living History Interpreters demonstrating the firing of Match Lock Muskets NPS Photo To stave off future attacks and to bring the situation under control, Governor Berkeley ordered an investigation into the matter. He set up what was to be a disastrous meeting between the parties, which resulted in the murders of several tribal chiefs. Throughout the crisis, Berkeley continually pleaded for restraint from the colonists. Some, including Bacon, refused to listen. Nathaniel Bacon disregarded the Governor's direct orders by seizing some friendly Appomattox Indians for ""allegedly"" stealing corn. Berkeley reprimanded him, which caused the disgruntled Virginians to wonder which man had taken the right action. It was here the battle lines were about to be drawn. A further problem was Berkeley's attempt to find a compromise. Berkeley's policy was to preserve the friendship and loyalty of the subject Indians while assuring the settlers that they were not hostile. To meet his first objective, the Governor relieved the local Indians of their powder and ammunition. To deal with the second objective, Berkeley called the ""Long Assembly"" in March 1676. Despite being judged corrupt, the assembly declared war on all ""bad"" Indians and set up a strong defensive zone around Virginia with a definite chain of command. The Indian wars which resulted from this directive led to the high taxes to pay the army and to the general discontent in the colony for having to shoulder that burden. The Long Assembly was accused of corruption because of its ruling regarding trade with the Indians. Not coincidentally, most of the favored traders were friends of Berkeley. Regular traders, some of whom had been trading independently with the local Indians for generations, were no longer allowed to trade individually. A government commission was established to monitor trading among those specially chosen and to make sure the Indians were not receiving any arms and ammunition. Bacon, one of the traders adversely affected by the Governor's order, accused Berkeley publicly of playing favorites. Bacon was also resentful because Berkeley had denied him a commission as a leader in the local militia. Bacon became the elected ""General"" of a group of local volunteer Indian fighters, because he promised to bear the cost of the campaigns. After Bacon drove the Pamunkeys from their nearby lands in his first action, Berkeley exercised one of the few instances of control over the situation that he was to have, by riding to Bacon's headquarters at Henrico with 300 ""well armed"" gentlemen. Upon Berkeley's arrival, Bacon fled into the forest with 200 men in search of a place more to his liking for a meeting. Berkeley then issued two petitions declaring Bacon a rebel and pardoning Bacon's men if they went home peacefully. Bacon would then be relieved of the council seat that he had won for his actions that year, but he was to be given a fair trial for his disobedience. Bacon did not, at this time, comply with the Governor's orders. Instead he next attacked the camp of the friendly Occaneecheee Indians on the Roanoke River (the border between Virginia and North Carolina), and took their store of beaver pelts. Governor Berkeley standing before Bacon and his men challenging them to shoot him Sidney King Painting In the face of a brewing catastrophe, Berkeley, to keep the peace, was willing to forget that Bacon was not authorized to take the law into his own hands. Berkeley agreed to pardon Bacon if he turned himself in, so he could be sent to England and tried before King Charles II. It was the House of Burgesses, however, who refused this alternative, insisting that Bacon must acknowledge his errors and beg the Governor's forgiveness. Ironically, at the same time, Bacon was then elected to the Burgesses by supportive local land owners sympathetic to his Indian campaigns. Bacon, by virtue of this election, attended the landmark Assembly of June 1676. It was during this session that he was mistakenly credited with the political reforms that came from this meeting. The reforms were prompted by the population, cutting through all class lines. Most of the reform laws dealt with reconstructing the colony's voting regulations, enabling freemen to vote, and limiting the number of years a person could hold certain offices in the colony. Most of these laws were already on the books for consideration well before Bacon was elected to the Burgesses. Bacon's only cause was his campaign against the Indians. Upon his arrival for the June Assembly, Bacon was captured, taken before Berkeley and council and was made to apologize for his previous actions. Berkeley immediately pardoned Bacon and allowed him to take his seat in the assembly. At this time, the council still had no idea how much support was growing in defense of Bacon. The full awareness of that support hit home when Bacon suddenly left the Burgesses in the midst of heated debate over Indian problems. He returned with his forces to surround the statehouse. Once again Bacon demanded his commission, but Berkeley called his bluff and demanded that Bacon shoot him. ""Here shoot me before God, fair mark shoot."" Bacon refused. Berkeley granted Bacon's previous volunteer commission but Bacon refused it and demanded that he be made General of all forces against the Indians, which Berkeley emphatically refused and walked away. Tensions ran high as the screaming Bacon and his men surrounded the statehouse, threatening to shoot several onlooking Burgesses if Bacon was not given his commission. Finally after several agonizing moments, Berkeley gave in to Bacon's demands for campaigns against the Indians without government interference. With Berkeley's authority in shambles, Bacon's brief tenure as leader of the rebellion began. NPS Photo Even in the midst of these unprecedented triumphs, however, Bacon was not without his mistakes. He allowed Berkeley to leave Jamestown in the aftermath of a surprise Indian attack on a nearby settlement. He also confiscated supplies from Gloucester and left them vulnerable to possible Indian attacks. Shortly after the immediate crisis subsided, Berkeley briefly retired to his home at Green Springs and washed his hands of the entire mess. Nathaniel Bacon dominated Jamestown from July through September 1676. During this time, Berkeley did come out of his lethargy and attempt a coup, but support for Bacon was still too strong and Berkeley was forced to flee to Accomack County on the Eastern Shore. Feeling that it would make his triumph complete, Bacon issued his ""Declaration of the People"" on July 30, 1676 which stated that Berkeley was corrupt, played favorites and protected the Indians for his own selfish purposes. Bacon also issued his oath which required the swearer to promise his loyalty to Bacon in any manner necessary (i.e., armed service, supplies, verbal support). Even this tight rein could not keep the tide from changing again. Bacon's fleet was first and finally secretly infiltrated by Berkeley's men and finally captured. This was to be the turning point in the conflict, because Berkeley was once again strong enough to retake Jamestown. Bacon then followed his sinking fortunes to Jamestown and saw it heavily fortified. He made several attempts at a siege, during which he kidnapped the wives of several of Berkeley's biggest supporters, including Mrs. Nathaniel Bacon Sr., and placed them upon the ramparts of his siege fortifications while he dug his position. Infuriated, Bacon burned Jamestown to the ground on September 19, 1676. (He did save many valuable records in the statehouse.) By now his luck had clearly run out with this extreme measure and he began to have trouble controlling his men's conduct as well as keeping his popular support. Few people responded to Bacon's appeal to capture Berkeley who had since returned to the Eastern Shore for safety reasons. On October 26th, 1676, Bacon abruptly died of the ""Bloodie Flux"" and ""Lousey Disease"" (body lice). It is possible his soldiers burned his contaminated body because it was never found. (His death inspired this little ditty; Bacon is Dead I am sorry at my hart That lice and flux should take the hangman's part"".) Shortly after Bacon's death, Berkeley regained complete control and hanged the major leaders of the rebellion. He also seized rebel property without the benefit of a trial. All in all, twenty-three persons were hanged for their part in the rebellion. Later after an investigating committee from England issued its report to King Charles II, Berkeley was relieved of the Governorship and returned to England where he died in July 1677. Thus ended one of the most unusual and complicated chapters in Jamestown's history. Could it have been prevented or was it time for inevitable changes to take place in the colonial governmental structure? Obviously, the laws were no longer effective as far as establishing clear policies to deal with problems or to instill new lifeblood into the colony's economy. The numerous problems that hit the colony before the Rebellion gave rise to the character of Nathaniel Bacon. Due to the nature of the uprising, Bacon's Rebellion does seem at first glance to be the beginnings of America's quest for Independence. But closer examination of the facts reveals what it really was: a power struggle between two very strong personalities. Between them they almost destroyed Jamestown.

Boak July 16, 2019 On June 29 and 30, 2019, Katmai National Park & Preserve (NP&P) celebrated the grand opening of its new elevated bridge across the lower Brooks River. The event marked the end of a challenging project first conceived over a decade ago, as well as the beginning of a new era for Katmai.Weather prevented some guests from arriving as planned on Saturday morning. In the end, park staff and visitors came together both Saturday and Sunday to hear from a number of individuals who were essential in bringing the bridge project to fruition.In his opening remarks to the crowd, Katmai NP&P Superintendent Mark Sturm highlighted the importance of input from the Alaska Native community over the long course of the bridge construction project: “It is important to recognize that we are standing on sacred ground that has literally been occupied for many thousands of years. And that this construction represents progress. And with progress comes change. Sometimes the change is not always perceived as positive change because when something does change, there’s something that’s lost as well.”The theme of history, change, and continuity was also addressed by Andria Agli of Bristol Bay Native Corporation (BBNC) and the Council of Katmai Descendants. After greeting the crowd with a rousing “Welcome to Sugpiaq Country!” Andrea recalled the rich cultural heritage of the area, spanning thousands of years from traditional migrations through the BBNC’s recent acquisition of Katmailand which runs Brooks Lodge. She also noted the good working relationship between Superintendent Sturm and the BBNC and thanked him and his team for their support. “A lot of folks come here to see the bears, and we like to be able to share our story as well. So thank you for being here. As you partake in this beautiful bridge, also marvel in the beauty of this area and the history as well.”Noting that “projects like this take a lot of conversations and a lot of advocacy,” Superintendent Sturm went on to thank some of the other guests present who helped make the bridge project possible, including the National Parks Conservation Association, represented by Erica Carrol, and the Alaska Department of Fish and Wildlife, represented by Sara Wolman. Sheila Ring of Katmai Conservancy spoke about the Conservancy’s role in assisting the park with fundraising for its ongoing projects, including the well-known Bearcam partnership with explore.org and the Annenberg Foundation.Superintendent Sturm also thanked the staff of Katmailand for their remarkable professionalism in serving the park visitors who stay at Brooks Lodge. Speaking on behalf of the Lodge, Jason Whiting underscored the park’s and Katmailand’s shared commitment to protecting Katmai’s salmon and trout resources.Congratulations for a job well done also went out to STG Incorporated, the company contracted to help construct the bridge. Alex Leavens, who was in attendance to represent STG, gave the crowd a good laugh when he drew attention to the complex logistics of building around what he called the Brooks River’s “local residents” (meaning: wild brown bears).Mr. Leavens also noted STG founder Jim St. George’s long-standing personal connection to the park, which he visited for many years and whose family still visits regularly to this day. Finally, he echoed Superintendent Sturm’s emphasis on the long-term commitment represented by the bridge, which will be around for “generations to come.”Senator Murkowski’s representative Lucy Murfitt – who, with Annie Hoefler, had the honor of cutting the ceremonial ribbon – took the opportunity to predict that the “bear jams” that had once prevented visitors and staff from crossing the old floating bridge would now be a thing of the past. She also recognized Leif Fonnesbeck for his work in the Senate Appropriations Committee, which was instrumental in securing the funds for the bridge project.NPS Alaska Regional Director Herbert Frost underscored the many difficulties encountered by an undertaking as large and logistically complex as the Brooks River bridge project. “Any time the regional director becomes aware of a project, it’s usually because there’s a problem with it. Things that go good I never see,” he joked. “Nothing’s easy. It seemed like there were always little roadblocks or stumps all along the way,” he acknowledged, before recognizing the many people at the park and regional levels who over many years had been instrumental behind the scenes in moving the project closer to its goal. He also picked up the thread of the Brooks River’s millennia-long history of human life and culture. “And this bridge looks like it can be here for the next 100 years. So when the park celebrates its 200th anniversary in 2118, who knows, this bridge could still be here. And that’ll be a testament to everybody that I just talked about.”NPS Acting Deputy Director of Operations David Vela also expressed his gratitude to everyone who made the construction of the bridge possible: “This really is a very special day in so many ways and for so many reasons. We’ve acknowledged a number of people here today, but I want to acknowledge all of you as taxpayers. Because this is your legacy to the nation. You helped to pay for this. You had a company that helped to build it. And you have staff that will manage it and maintain it. And you have visitors from around the world that will come to enjoy it.”This was the deputy director's first visit to Katmai but not his first exposure to brown bears. While serving as superintendent at Grand Teton National Park he always carried bear spray. When he didn't receive any upon arriving at Brooks Camp, he first thought, “This is freakin’ me out, man!” but he quickly realized that the reason was to be found in the unique way humans and bears are habituated to each other at Brooks. “This is a different ecosystem. Bears are managed differently here.”The deputy director’s comments also served as a final reminder of the bridge’s purpose of helping Katmai achieve balance in its double mission of preserving and protecting its resources while also facilitating the public’s enjoyment of them. As Superintendent Sturm put it, “Today we can walk across the bridge on a safe, elevated platform and ultimately the bears have freedom of movement that they didn’t used to have.”Given that visitation to the park is increasing annually, there can be little doubt that the bridge that now spans the Brooks River is also the bridge to Katmai’s future.",0

See their stories below. ""I am an on board survivor of the attack on the USS Arizona on Dec. 7, 1941. Six men were trapped on the foremast; on the sky control platform one deck above the bridge, where the Admiral and the Captain were killed. We had no way off and were burning alive, when we saw a sailor on the USS Vestal. We waved at him and got his attention, and he threw us a line and we tied it off to a bigger line and proceeded to go hand over hand to the Vestal after we suffered burns. The Japanese were firing at us as well as the oil in the water under us was burning. ""We all made it across the line because of the bravery of the seaman, Joe George. Two men died of their burns that day at the hospital and the four other men, Bruner, Lott, Rhiner, and myself lived. I was in the hospital for a year, but because of Joe George went on to have a family. There are two of us alive today. We attended the 70th USS Arizona reunion in Hawaii. ""Joe George was never awarded anything for his bravery and going against a direct order from his Captain, who wanted to pull away from the Arizona and leave us all to die. He is no longer with us, but I believe his widow, in his memory, should be awarded the Navy Cross."" -- Donald Stratton ""A bomb blew up the forward magazine of the USS Arizona BB-39 and the ship was engulfed in flames. I and five others were located on the anti-aircraft gun directors platform above the bridge when the forward powder magazine blew. All of us were badly burned. I was burned over 80% of my body. At that point, the only possibility to evacuate the ship was to dive in the water, which was 80 feet below and was fully engulfed in flame. That was not an option for survival. ""A crewman named Joe George was on the USS Vestal that was along side the Arizona. The Vestal also experienced heavy damage. George spotted the six of us, who had no way to escape the burning ship. Joe George realized the desperate situation of the six of us on the Arizona and threw a line over to us, which was contrary to his Commander's orders. We secured the line on the Arizona and each of us climbed hand over hand over to the Vestal even though we were severely burned. ""The six of us would not have survived except for his courage, in spite of being at high risk himself. He fully deserves high commendations for his actions. I feel he should be recognized for this courage and presented the Navy Star."" -- Lauren Bruner Lauren Brunner and five other sailors were in the USS Arizona director (circled) when the bomb hit. Joe George saw them from the nearby USS Vestal and threw them a line.",0

I couldn’t speak English…. The only thing I used to say was, ‘Yeah.’” Nick and his brother Steve stuck it out, however, and the records show that these fifteen and sixteen year old boys spent 173 days in first grade. Eventually, the teacher had had enough. “Your dad needs your help out there,” Nick was told.16 Simeon Lekanoff was ill. He had returned to Unalaska, the village of his birth, and been elected to the church committee. In 1941 both he and his brother Stephan, who had become a much-respected elder on St. George, died. ... Nick Lekanoff was seven months older than Nick Galaktionoff. Both were born in 1925. Nick Galaktionoff’s mother was Parascovia Lekanoff, Nick Lekanoff’s half-sister. Although they were technically uncle and nephew, they were more like cousins. They were two of seven or eight children of about the same age who played, often barefoot, along the shore and in the high growth of grass and wild celery in front of the village and climbed the hills that rose around the village. Both boys had sisters. Molly was five years older than Nick Galaktionoff while Stepinida was a year younger than Nick Lekanoff. A favorite pastime was hide-and-seek, kuukala [or kuukaadali], in the high wild rye in front of the village. Yakeem Petikoff, tall and thin and 24 or 25 years older than the two boys, occasionally donned a disguise, complete with horns, and frightened them home. He didn’t want them down near the water too late. “We’d run like hell from the beach to home,” Nick Galaktionoff recalled. The boys played with the boat Pete Olsen had built for his adopted son, John, big enough to get into but never used on the water. They would sometimes go to Olsen’s pigeon coop and admire the birds. Olsen occasionally lined up the children and marched them down the short road that ran through the village and had them pull out weeds along it. Then he would turn them around, walk them back, and reward them with candy.",0

Garfield and Alexander Graham Bell,"Alexander Graham Bell in 1876 IEEE History Center By 1881, Mr. Bell was at the height of his career. The telephone, patented in 1876, earned the Bell Telephone Company its first million, the first corporation to achieve that benchmark inside of one year. Bell constantly invented and improved his creations, and a week after the shooting Bell felt he could help the President’s case by applying his telephone technology to a machine developed by Simon Newcomb, called the induction balance machine. The idea was that the machine could create an electric current and by passing coils over a mass, in this case a human body, any trace of metal would be detected and create a sound by interrupting the current. The amplification device which allowed telephone users to hear a voice from the other end of a phone line would be used to magnify the sound of the interruption on the induction balance machine, thus allowing Bell to pinpoint the location of the bullet. From the time he arrived in Washington on July 26, 1881 Bell worked tirelessly with his assistant, William Taintor. The pair scrounged for parts to connect the amplifier to Newcomb’s apparatus, and experimented with lengths and locations of the coils which would be used to scan the President’s body. When the machine was in working order, they conducted several trial runs to test the ability of the coils to pick up the presence of lead. Both men hid bullets in their cheeks, in sacks of cotton, in corpses the approximate size of the President, and finally inside of raw beef. Met with success every time, the professors brought the contraption to the Army War Hospital and used it on Civil War veterans with spent bullets in their bodies. All trials were successful, and with some minor tweaking an anxious Bell was ready to try it on his most famous patient: the President of the United States.",0

Hayward & Muzzall, photographic artists, Santa Barbara, California Courtesy of the California Digital Library The Spanish established Franciscan Catholic missions throughout California during the 18th and early 19th centuries to assist in colonizing the Pacific coast region and to spread their Christian faith to local American Indian tribes. The Spanish not only introduced a new religion to the native peoples, they brought new livestock, fruit, vegetables, farming techniques, and social practices to the area as well. The missions, which were not just churches, but entire settlements, completely changed life in California. Today, visitors can see and experience many of these historic missions throughout California. The La Purísima Mission, a National Historic Landmark, is considered the most fully restored of these Spanish missions and today is a State park.Father Presidente Fermin de Lasuén founded Misión La Purísima Concepción De María Santísima (Mission of the Immaculate Conception of Most Holy Mary) on December 8, 1787. The first padres assigned to La Purísima were Father Vincente Fuster and Father Joseph Arroita. The two padres organized the construction of temporary buildings at La Purísima and translated the mass and catechism instruction into the native tongue of the local Chumash Indians. Since the mission was more than just a church, construction began on living quarters, workshops, and storage and water systems. As the Spanish baptized the Chumash Indians, they taught them skills that enabled the Indians to help in the development of the mission. A contemporary report provides some insights into the daily life of the Chumash Indian neophytes at the mission. In 1800, Father Horra, who was formerly at Mission San Miguel, accused the La Purísima Mission fathers of mistreating the Chumash Indians. Governor Borcia, the Spanish governor at the time, investigated, and the padres at La Purísima reported about the lives of the neophytes. They said the neophytes received three meals a day, had permission to gather their own wild foods, and had clothing that was expected to last one year. They lived in their native tule houses for it was not possible to construct permanent houses for them. The Spanish required their labor for no more than five hours per day, taught the Indians how to deal with the soldiers and other people outside of the mission, and punished them if they left the mission without permission. Ultimately, Spanish officials declared the charges against the missionaries unfounded. This report is only from the padres’ view of Indian life at the mission. In the developmental years of the mission, the padres received help from the other missions in the form of livestock, vegetables, and cuttings to establish orchards and vineyards. Supplies the missions could not produce, including bells, church furnishings, cloth, tools, and iron, arrived on supply ships from New Spain (Mexico) two times a year. In addition, the padres received a stipend and an allotment from the Pious Fund, a fund wealthy Spaniards supported with donations to help expand Spain’s empire. The mission grew and prospered, and in a report dated December 31, 1798, La Purísima claimed that the mission’s primitive church did not have enough space for its 920 inhabitants. A new, larger, and permanent adobe church was constructed between 1801 and 1803 to accommodate the mission’s growing population (the doorway of this building still stands at the original mission site, which the City of Lompoc now owns). La Purísima expanded to include several permanent large and small adobe buildings and had nearly 1,500 neophytes. The mission prospered under Father Mariano Payeras, who arrived in 1804. La Purísima began producing soap, candles, wool, leather, and other leading commodities to trade. The padres also hired out the neophytes to local ranchos as an additional source of income for the mission. At the height of its prosperity, however, La Purísima faced a series of setbacks. Between 1804 and 1807, smallpox and measles struck and nearly 500 Chumash Indians died. Then, on December 21, 1812, life at La Purísima changed suddenly when a severe earthquake, followed by torrential rains, damaged all of the buildings at La Purísima beyond repair. With their unprotected adobe bricks, the damaged buildings melted back into mud. A fully restored and furnished room at La Purísima Mission State Historic Park Courtesy of Damian Gadal, Flickr’s Creative Commons Father Payeras requested and was granted permission to rebuild the mission four miles northwest in a small canyon closer to the El Camino Real, California’s main travel route. The padres established La Purísima in its new location on April 23, 1813. Using materials salvaged from the buildings destroyed by the earthquake, construction began immediately. The new site departed from the traditional layout of the California missions, which included a settlement arranged around four sides with an open square. The new mission was constructed in a straight line at the base of a long hill. Completed within 10 years, La Purísima’s new buildings included the padres’ residence, storehouses, workshops, quarters for the soldiers, the mission church, the Indian infirmaries and dormitory, the blacksmith’s quarters, a pottery shop, and the padres’ private kitchen. These buildings are part of the reconstructed La Purísima Mission State Park today. In just a few short years, Father Payeras turned La Purísima into a thriving mission once again. About 1,000 Chumash Indian neophytes lived on mission lands. The mission became a school and training center for its inhabitants and a great ranching enterprise. While thousands of heads of livestock roamed the hills, the padres developed shops for weaving, pottery, leatherwork, and other crafts. In 1815, the Catholic Church recognized Father Payeras for his talents and outstanding achievements and appointed him the presidente of the California missions. Father Payeras decided to remain at La Purísima during his time as presidente instead of moving to the Carmel Mission, which had been the standard practice at the time. In 1819, he received the appointment of commissary prefect, the highest rank among California Franciscans. Father Payeras died on April 28, 1823 and lies buried under the altar of La Purísima Mission. Even though Father Payeras was a strong leader, La Purísima could not deny the turmoil that was unfolding throughout the region. By 1811, after the Hidalgo Rebellion in New Spain (which was the beginning of Mexico’s War for independence from Spain), supplies and money stopped coming to the missions. Spanish governors still clung to old Spanish policy and would not let the missions trade with foreign merchants. This created supply shortages, which then led to black-market activity. Tensions grew between the soldiers, who were now dependent upon the mission, and the mission people. The soldiers took their frustrations out on the Indian neophytes. By 1824, the increasing conflict between the soldiers and the Indians reached a breaking point. After hearing news that soldiers at Santa Inez flogged a La Purísima neophyte, the neophytes took control of the mission’s grounds. Father Ordaz and the soldiers and their families went to Mission Santa Inez, while Father Rodriguez was still able to come and go from La Purísima as he pleased. About a month after the rebellion began, 109 soldiers from the presidio at Monterey arrived to regain control of the mission. A violent fight that lasted only two and half hours left 16 Indians dead and one soldier and two others wounded. Seven Indians suffered execution for their involvement in the rebellion and 12 more punishment to hard labor. Restored and furnished room at La Purísima Mission State Historic Park Courtesy of Damian Gadal, Flickr’s Creative Commons La Purísima Mission never fully recovered after the rebellion, and by 1834, the Mexican officials enforced the order to secularize California’s missions. A civil administrator managed the grounds until Juan Temple of Los Angeles purchased La Purísima Mission for $1,000 in 1845. Ownership of La Purísima Mission subsequently changed hands multiple times until 1933, when its new owner, Union Oil Company, recognized the historic value of the site and donated it to the State of California. According to Kurt Baer’s Architecture of the California Missions, in 1935, “after years of total neglect, vandalism and despoliation, the mission buildings were not much more than heaps of rubbish. Yet, diligent and patient examination of records and photographs, interviews with early settlers, and archeologists and structural study has made possible the almost complete restoration of the compound as it existed before secularization. Where details of the original were lacking, such as wood carving, in colors, and furnishings, extant examples from other missions, were copied. Even the adobes and the burned bricks were made in the original manner."" In the 1930s, through the combined efforts of the County of Santa Barbara, the State of California, the National Park Service, and the Civilian Conservation Corps, the buildings and grounds were reconstructed and restored and furnished to their 1820 appearance. Today, visitors to La Purísima Mission State Historic Park will see 10 of the original buildings fully reconstructed, restored and furnished, including the church, shops, living quarters, and blacksmith shop. The park's buildings, mission gardens, livestock, living history events, and visitor center provides visitors with a glimpse into what life was like on a California mission during the 1820s.",0

Now for the first time, park historian John Branson sheds light on the park's namesake in this biography of a pioneer of nineteenth century western Alaska. Though his early years remain largely obscure, his adult life offers a fascinating glimpse into nineteenth century Alaska as it emerged from the control of Russia and became part of the United States. Clark was a participant of many important enterprises in western Alaska, beginning by at least the summer of 1866 in St. Michael. He was one of the first permanent Euroamerican residents of Alaska, the first permanent English-speaking resident in the Bristol Bay region, and one of the very first resident ""snow-birds"" of Alaska.

NPS Photo Thomas Alva Edison was born on February 11, 1847 in Milan, Ohio; the seventh and last child of Samuel and Nancy Edison. When Edison was seven his family moved to Port Huron, Michigan. Edison lived here until he struck out on his own at the age of sixteen. Edison had very little formal education as a child, attending school only for a few months. He was taught reading, writing, and arithmetic by his mother, but was always a very curious child and taught himself much by reading on his own. This belief in self-improvement remained throughout his life. Edison began working at an early age, as most boys did at the time. At thirteen he took a job as a newsboy, selling newspapers and candy on the local railroad that ran through Port Huron to Detroit. He seems to have spent much of his free time reading scientific, and technical books, and also had the opportunity at this time to learn how to operate a telegraph. By the time he was sixteen, Edison was proficient enough to work as a telegrapher full time. The development of the telegraph was the first step in the communication revolution, and the telegraph industry expanded rapidly in the second half of the 19th century. This rapid growth gave Edison and others like him a chance to travel, see the country, and gain experience. Edison worked in a number of cities throughout the United States before arriving in Boston in 1868. Here Edison began to change his profession from telegrapher to inventor. He received his first patent on an electric vote recorder, a device intended for use by elected bodies such as Congress to speed the voting process. This invention was a commercial failure. Edison resolved that in the future he would only invent things that he was certain the public would want. Edison moved to New York City in 1869. He continued to work on inventions related to the telegraph, and developed his first successful invention, an improved stock ticker called the ""Universal Stock Printer"". For this and some related inventions Edison was paid $40,000. This gave Edison the money he needed to set up his first small laboratory and manufacturing facility in Newark, New Jersey in 1871. During the next five years, Edison worked in Newark inventing and manufacturing devices that greatly improved the speed and efficiency of the telegraph. He also found to time to get married to Mary Stilwell and start a family. In 1876 Edison sold all his Newark manufacturing concerns and moved his family and staff of assistants to the small village of Menlo Park, twenty-five miles southwest of New York City. Edison established a new facility containing all the equipment necessary to work on any invention. This research and development laboratory was the first of its kind anywhere; the model for later, modern facilities such as Bell Laboratories, this is sometimes considered to be Edison's greatest invention. Here Edison began to change the world. Edison's first phonograph - 1877. NPS Photo The first great invention developed by Edison in Menlo Park was the tin foil phonograph. The first machine that could record and reproduce sound created a sensation and brought Edison international fame. Edison toured the country with the tin foil phonograph, and was invited to the White House to demonstrate it to President Rutherford B. Hayes in April 1878. Edison next undertook his greatest challenge, the development of a practical incandescent, electric light. The idea of electric lighting was not new, and a number of people had worked on, and even developed forms of electric lighting. But up to that time, nothing had been developed that was remotely practical for home use. Edison's eventual achievement was inventing not just an incandescent electric light, but also an electric lighting system that contained all the elements necessary to make the incandescent light practical, safe, and economical. After one and a half years of work, success was achieved when an incandescent lamp with a filament of carbonized sewing thread burned for thirteen and a half hours. The first public demonstration of the Edison's incandescent lighting system was in December 1879, when the Menlo Park laboratory complex was electrically lighted. Edison spent the next several years creating the electric industry. In September 1882, the first commercial power station, located on Pearl Street in lower Manhattan, went into operation providing light and power to customers in a one square mile area; the electric age had begun. An early sketch from a laboratory notebook of an electric lightbulb. NPS Photo The success of his electric light brought Edison to new heights of fame and wealth, as electricity spread around the world. Edison's various electric companies continued to grow until in 1889 they were brought together to form Edison General Electric. Despite the use of Edison in the company title however, Edison never controlled this company. The tremendous amount of capital needed to develop the incandescent lighting industry had necessitated the involvement of investment bankers such as J.P. Morgan. When Edison General Electric merged with its leading competitor Thompson-Houston in 1892, Edison was dropped from the name, and the company became simply General Electric. This period of success was marred by the death of Edison's wife Mary in 1884. Edison's involvement in the business end of the electric industry had caused Edison to spend less time in Menlo Park. After Mary's death, Edison was there even less, living instead in New York City with his three children. A year later, while vacationing at a friends house in New England, Edison met Mina Miller and fell in love. The couple was married in February 1886 and moved to West Orange, New Jersey where Edison had purchased an estate, Glenmont, for his bride. Thomas Edison lived here with Mina until his death. When Edison moved to West Orange, he was doing experimental work in makeshift facilities in his electric lamp factory in nearby Harrison, New Jersey. A few months after his marriage, however, Edison decided to build a new laboratory in West Orange itself, less than a mile from his home. Edison possessed both the resources and experience by this time to build, ""the best equipped and largest laboratory extant and the facilities superior to any other for rapid and cheap development of an invention "". The new laboratory complex consisting of five buildings opened in November 1887. A three story main laboratory building contained a power plant, machine shops, stock rooms, experimental rooms and a large library. Four smaller one story buildings built perpendicular to the main building contained a physics lab, chemistry lab, metallurgy lab, pattern shop, and chemical storage. The large size of the laboratory not only allowed Edison to work on any sort of project, but also allowed him to work on as many as ten or twenty projects at once. Facilities were added to the laboratory or modified to meet Edison's changing needs as he continued to work in this complex until his death in 1931. Over the years, factories to manufacture Edison inventions were built around the laboratory. The entire laboratory and factory complex eventually covered more than twenty acres and employed 10,000 people at its peak during World War One (1914-1918). After opening the new laboratory, Edison began to work on the phonograph again, having set the project aside to develop the electric light in the late 1870s. By the 1890s, Edison began to manufacture phonographs for both home, and business use. Like the electric light, Edison developed everything needed to have a phonograph work, including records to play, equipment to record the records, and equipment to manufacture the records and the machines. In the process of making the phonograph practical, Edison created the recording industry. The development and improvement of the phonograph was an ongoing project, continuing almost until Edison's death. While working on the phonograph, Edison began working on a device that, ""does for the eye what the phonograph does for the ear"", this was to become motion pictures. Edison first demonstrated motion pictures in 1891, and began commercial production of ""movies"" two years later in a peculiar looking structure, built on the laboratory grounds, known as the Black Maria. Like the electric light and phonograph before it, Edison developed a complete system, developing everything needed to both film and show motion pictures. Edison's initial work in motion pictures was pioneering and original. However, many people became interested in this third new industry Edison created, and worked to further improve on Edison's early motion picture work. There were therefore many contributors to the swift development of motion pictures beyond the early work of Edison. By the late 1890s, a thriving new industry was firmly established, and by 1918 the industry had become so competitive that Edison got out of the movie business all together. The success of the phonograph and motion pictures in the 1890s helped offset the greatest failure of Edison's career. Throughout the decade Edison worked in his laboratory and in the old iron mines of northwestern New Jersey to develop methods of mining iron ore to feed the insatiable demand of the Pennsylvania steel mills. To finance this work, Edison sold all his stock in General Electric. Despite ten years of work and millions of dollars spent on research and development, Edison was never able to make the process commercially practical, and lost all the money he had invested. This would have meant financial ruin had not Edison continued to develop the phonograph and motion pictures at the same time. As it was, Edison entered the new century still financially secure and ready to take on another challenge. Edison's new challenge was to develop a better storage battery for use in electric vehicles. Edison very much enjoyed automobiles and owned a number of different types during his life, powered by gasoline, electricity, and steam. Edison thought that electric propulsion was clearly the best method of powering cars, but realized that conventional lead-acid storage batteries were inadequate for the job. Edison began to develop an alkaline battery in 1899. It proved to be Edison's most difficult project, taking ten years to develop a practical alkaline battery. By the time Edison introduced his new alkaline battery, the gasoline powered car had so improved that electric vehicles were becoming increasingly less common, being used mainly as delivery vehicles in cities. However, the Edison alkaline battery proved useful for lighting railway cars and signals, maritime buoys, and miners lamps. Unlike iron ore mining, the heavy investment Edison made over ten years was repaid handsomely, and the storage battery eventually became Edison's most profitable product. Further, Edison's work paved the way for the modern alkaline battery. By 1911, Thomas Edison had built a vast industrial operation in West Orange. Numerous factories had been built through the years around the original laboratory, and the staff of the entire complex had grown into the thousands. To better manage operations, Edison brought all the companies he had started to make his inventions together into one corporation, Thomas A. Edison Incorporated, with Edison as president and chairman. Edison was sixty-four by this time and his role with his company and in life began to change. Edison left more of the daily operations of both the laboratory and the factories to others. The laboratory itself did less original experimental work and instead worked more on refining existing Edison products such as the phonograph. Although Edison continued to file for and receive patents for new inventions, the days of developing new products that changed lives and created industries were behind him. In the 1915, Edison was asked to head the Naval Consulting Board. With the United States inching closer towards the involvement in World War One, the Naval Consulting Board was an attempt to organize the talents of the leading scientists and inventors in the United States for the benefit of the American armed forces. Edison favored preparedness, and accepted the appointment. The Board did not make a notable contribution to the final allied victory, but did serve as a precedent for future successful cooperation between scientists, inventors and the United States military. During the war, at age seventy, Edison spent several months on Long Island Sound in a borrowed navy vessel experimenting on techniques for detecting submarines. Edison's role in life began to change from inventor and industrialist to cultural icon, a symbol of American ingenuity, and a real life Horatio Alger story. In 1928, in recognition of a lifetime of achievement, the United States Congress voted Edison a special Medal of Honor. In 1929 the nation celebrated the golden jubilee of the incandescent light. The celebration culminated at a banquet honoring Edison given by Henry Ford at Greenfield Village, Ford's new American history museum, which included a complete restoration of the Menlo Park Laboratory. Attendees included President Herbert Hoover and many of the leading American scientists and inventors. The last experimental work of Edison's life was done at the request of Edison's good friends Henry Ford, and Harvey Firestone in the late 1920s. They asked Edison to find an alternative source of rubber for use in automobile tires. The natural rubber used for tires up to that time came from the rubber tree, which does not grow in the United States. Crude rubber had to be imported and was becoming increasingly expensive. With his customary energy and thoroughness, Edison tested thousands of different plants to find a suitable substitute, eventually finding a type of Goldenrod weed that could produce enough rubber to be feasible. Edison was still working on this at the time of his death. During the last two years of his life Edison was in increasingly poor health. Edison spent more time away from the laboratory, working instead at Glenmont. Trips to the family vacation home in Fort Myers, Florida became longer.

About the Mission Founded in 1720, the mission was named for Saint Joseph and the Marqués de San Miguel de Aguayo, the governor of the Province of Coahuila and Texas at the time. It was built on the banks of the San Antonio River a few miles to the south of the earlier mission, Mission San Antonio de Valero (the Alamo). Its founder was the fames Father Antonio Margil de Jesus, a very prominent Franciscan missionary in early Texas. Mission San Jose is an active parish. Visitors are welcome to attend mass on Sundays. For more information about church services, visit our Church Information page. Conventos at Mission San José NPS Photo. Queen of the Missions San José, as it became known, was the largest of the missions in the area. At its height, the community contained about 350 Indian neophytes, sustained by extensive fields and herds of livestock. Viewed as the model among the Texas missions, San José gained a reputation as a major social and cultural center. It became known as the ""Queen of the Missions."" Its imposing complex of stone walls, bastions, granary, and magnificent church was completed by 1782. So rich an enterprise was a natural target for Apache and Comanche depredations. Although they could not prevent raids on their livestock, the mission itself was almost impregnable. In his journal, Fray Juan Agustín Morfí attested to its defensive character: ""It is, in truth, the first mission in America . . . in point of beauty, plan, and strength . . . there is not a presidio along the entire frontier line that can compare with it."" The danger was when working the fields or during travel to and from the ranch or other missions. With technical help from the two presidial soldiers garrisoned there, San José residents learned to defend themselves. Already proficient with bow and arrow, the men also learned the use of guns and cannon. Mission San José has become a lasting symbol throughout the centuries for the Spanish mission frontier in Texas. Rose Window at Mission San José NPS Photo. The Rose Window La Ventana de Rosa, the Rose Window, is located on the south wall of the church sacristy. The window has been described as the site where the Host was shown to gathered mission celebrants during the Feast of Pentecost. The window, sculpted ca. 1775, has been the object of both legend and admiration. It is considered one of the finest examples of baroque architecture in North America. The meaning behind the name is currently unknown, but legend has it named for Rosa, the betrothed of Juan Huizar who many believe created the window. The Flag at Mission San José NPS Photo. Site Dedication Having fallen into disrepair and partial ruin over the years, the San Antonio Conservation Society and the Federal Government among others, undertook to restore portions of the mission community in the 1920s and 1930s. The church, which had lost its dome, bell tower, and a wall, was rededicated in 1937. In 1941, Mission San José was declared a State Historic Site, and later that same year, a National Historic Site. When the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park was established in November 1978, the Spanish colonial mission was assured of protection in cooperation with the Archdiocese of San Antonio and the parish. Carvings at the Rose Window at Mission San José. NPS Photo. Reconstruction and Preservation Much of what is visible today at Mission San José was reconstructed by the Works Progress Administration in the 1930s. The Archdiocese of San Antonio and San Jose parish are responsible for any maintenance and preservation work needed on the church structure itself. About 80% of the church is original. The National Park Service, with help from taxpayers and the park's official friends group, Mission Heritage Partners, is responsible for the extant structures and historical landscape. The granary and the convento were still standing, but required stabilization, and some reconstruction work. The large convento housed at least two missionaries, and any travelers or guests. Living space was on the second floor, while the first was made up of storeroom, and a kitchen and refectory. The granary was one of the first structures to be restored. The San Antonio Conservation Society purchased, first, the doors and then the building when it was on the verge of collapse. With few exceptions, the protective walls with the Indian Quarters built into them were reconstructed in the 1930s above the original foundations. The stone used was not limestone like the originals would have been. The Grape Arbor trellis was meant to enhance the Spanish Quarters located next to it.",0

The first Quartermaster General was Major Thomas Mifflin of Pennsylvania, who was appointed by General Washington. Until 1818, however, the measures introduced by the Quartermaster Department were temporary and usually limited to wartime. Following the War of 1812, the Secretary of War obtained permission to reorganize the Army, and one of his acts was to establish a permanent Quartermaster General with a department in Washington. Brigadier General Thomas Sidney Jesup was selected to head the new bureau, which he guided until his death in 1860. (It was not until 1862 that retirement became available and not until 1882 that it was required.) Jesup was a wise choice, and he brought discipline and enthusiastic energy to his office. He needed both. His staff consisted of two Assistant Quartermasters with the rank of major, and twenty-eight Assistant Quartermaster with the rank of captain each receiving compensation varying from $10 the $20 a month, as the /secretary of War, Jesup had only six permanent clerks to maintain the office letter books, ledgers, etc. The number of items for which the department accounted, as well as the amount of contracts it let, are staggering. Yet the Quartermaster Department did it and did it well. Like the rest of the Army, the Quartermaster Department suffered from either feast or famine. In times of war, it added staff and was given funds needed badly; in peacetime, however, appropriations drastically reduced the work the Quartermaster General deemed necessary. In the interim between the wars in Florida and Mexico, the budget of the army was extremely tight. In the fiscal year of 1844, only by the order of the Secretary of War were the Quartermasters at Philadelphia and New Orleans permitted to subscribe to one newspaper so that they might obtain shipping lists and current prices, knowledge of which was essential to the execution of their duties. The Washington office was allowed none-not even the newspaper that published the laws-and the Quartermaster General was forced to request that the Quartermaster at Philadelphia forward his newspaper to him, ""when you have done with it."" Under such circumstances, construction periodically came to a virtual standstill. The stringent measures resulted in deteriorating buildings, and quartermasters were forced to rely almost entirely upon the soldiers for labor. When skilled labor was not available from the soldiers, the quartermaster was authorized to hire civilians who were specialized tradesmen, which included masons, turners, glaziers, and millwrights. Reductions in the Army did not necessarily lessen the demands on the Quartermaster Department. Westward expansion necessitated new fortifications and abandonment of old ones that were no longer needed. Roads and bridges had to be built to connect these new bases and to provide supply lines. Economy may have been the watchword, but surviving Army structures from the 1840s including those at Fort Scott and Fort Laramie, indicate the Quartermasters planned graceful as well as practical buildings. Long porches offered shelter from the torrid summers of the plains; large windows let in air and sunlight; and plastered walls and graceful stairways and fireplaces reminded families of officers that they were not away from home entirely. Except for the kitchen wings, Bedlam, built at Fort Laramie in 1849, is eerily similar to the officers' quarters constructed at Fort Scott a few years earlier. Later posts of the Indian War period did not always have housing as fine as that of the pre-Civil War period. The majority of the Assistant Quartermasters were graduates of the Military Academy, where they had received training in both architecture and engineering, disciplines they would need. Because of the wide range of objects under their jurisdiction and the opportunities for theft, Quartermasters were chosen for their honesty and kept strictly accountable for everything they ordered. By the outbreak of the Civil War, the Quartermaster Department had 53 separate forms to be filled out, inventorying everything from stationery to the number of days an enlisted man was mustered for extra-duty. So meticulous was Jesup that even the sale of a condemned horse was brought to his attention and received on paper the notation in his own hand, ""let the horse be sold.""

Basavaraddi Introduction :Yoga is essentially a spiritual discipline based on an extremely subtle science, which focuses on bringing harmony between mind and body. It is an art and scince of healthy living. The word ‘Yoga’ is derived from the Sanskrit root ‘Yuj’, meaning ‘to join’ or ‘to yoke’ or ‘to unite’. As per Yogic scriptures the practice of Yoga leads to the union of individual consciousness with that of the Universal Consciousness, indicating a perfect harmony between the mind and body, Man & Nature. According to modern scientists, everything in the universe is just a manifestation of the same quantum firmament. One who experiences this oneness of existence is said to be in yoga, and is termed as a yogi, having attained to a state of freedom referred to as mukti, nirvana or moksha. Thus the aim of Yoga is Self-realization, to overcome all kinds of sufferings leading to 'the state of liberation' (Moksha) or ‘freedom’ (Kaivalya). Living with freedom in all walks of life, health and harmony shall be the main objectives of Yoga practice.""Yoga” also refers to an inner science comprising of a variety of methods through which human beings can realize this union and achieve mastery over their destiny.Yoga, being widely considered as an ‘immortal cultural outcome’ of Indus Saraswati Valley civilization – dating back to 2700 B.C., has proved itself catering to both material and spiritual upliftment of humanity.Basic humane values are the very identity of Yoga Sadhana. A Brief History and Development of Yoga: The practice of Yoga is believed to have started with the very dawn of civilization. The science of yoga has its origin thousands of years ago, long before the first religions or belief systems were born. In the yogic lore, Shiva is seen as the first yogi or Adiyogi, and the first Guru or Adi Guru. Several Thousand years ago, on the banks of the lake Kantisarovar in the Himalayas, Adiyogi poured his profound knowledge into the legendary Saptarishis or ""seven sages”. The sages carried this powerful yogic science to different parts of the world, including Asia, the Middle East, Northern Africa and South America. Interestingly, modern scholars have noted and marvelled at the close parallels found between ancient cultures across the globe. However, it was in India that the yogic system found its fullest expression. Agastya, the Saptarishi who travelled across the Indian subcontinent, crafted this culture around a core yogic way of life. A number of seals and fossil remains of Indus Saraswati valley civilization with Yotic motives and figures performing yoga indicate the presence of Yoga in India. The Number of seals and fossil remains of Indus Saraswati valley civilization with Yogic motives and figures performing Yoga Sadhana suggest the presence of Yoga in ancient India. The phallic symbols, seals of idols of mother Goddess are suggestive of Tantra Yoga. Presence of Yoga is available in folk traditions, Indus valley civilization, Vedic and Upanishadic heritage, Buddhist and Jain traditions, Darshanas, epics of Mahabharat and Ramayana, theistic traditions of Shaivas, Vaishnavas, and Tantric traditions. In addition, there was a primordial or pure Yoga which has been manifested in mystical traditions of South Asia. This was the time when Yoga was being practised under the direct guidance of Guru and its spritual value was given special importance. It was a part of Upasana and yoga sadhana was inbuilt in their rituals. Sun was given highest importance during the vedic period. The practice of ‘Surya namaskara’ may have been invented later due to this influence. Pranayama was a part of daily ritual and to offer the oblation. Though Yoga was being practiced in the pre-Vedic period, the great Sage Maharshi Patanjali systematized and codified the then existing practices of Yoga, its meaning and its related knowledge through his Yoga Sutras. After Patanjali, many Sages and Yoga Masters contributed greatly for the preservation and development of the field through their well documented practices and literature. SuryanamaskaraHistorical evidences of the existence of Yoga were seen in the pre-Vedic period (2700 B.C.), and thereafter till Patanjali’s period. The main sources, from which we get the information about Yoga practices and the related literature during this period, are available in Vedas (4), Upanishads(108), Smritis, teachings of Buddhism, Jainism, Panini, Epics (2), Puranas (18) etc. Tentatively, the period between 500 BC - 800 A.D. is considered as the Classical period which is also considered as the most fertile and prominent period in the history and development of Yoga. During this period, commentaries of Vyasa on Yoga Sutras and Bhagawadgita etc. came into existence.This period can be mainly dedicated to two great religious teachers of India –Mahavir and Buddha. The concept of Five great vows – Pancha mahavrata- by Mahavir and Ashta Magga or eightfold path by Buddha - can be well considered as early nature of Yoga sadhana. We find its more explicit explanation in Bhagawadgita which has elaborately presented the concept of Gyan yoga, Bhakti yoga and Karma Yoga. These three types of yoga are still the highest example of human wisdom and and even to day people find peace by following the methods as shown in Gita. Patanjali’s yoga sutra besides containing various aspects of yoga, is mainly identified with eight fold path of Yoga. The very important commentary on Yoga sutra by Vyasa was also written. During this very period the aspect of mind was given importance and it was clearly brought out through Yoga sadhana, Mind and body both can be brought under control to experience equanimity.The period between 800 A.D. - 1700 A.D. has been recognized as the Post Classical period wherein the teachings of great Acharyatrayas-Adi Shankracharya, Ramanujacharya, Madhavacharya-were prominent during this period. The teachings of Suradasa, Tulasidasa, Purandardasa, Mirabai were the great contributors during this period. The Natha Yogis of Hathayoga Tradition like Matsyendaranatha, Gorkshanatha, Cauranginatha, Swatmaram Suri, Gheranda, Shrinivasa Bhatt are some of the great personalities who popularized the Hatha Yoga practices during this period. The period between 1700 - 1900 A.D. is considered as Modern period in which the great Yogacharyas- Ramana Maharshi, Ramakrishna Paramhansa, Paramhansa Yogananda, Vivekananda etc. have contributed for the development of Raja Yoga.This was the period when Vedanta, Bhakti yoga, Nathayoga or Hatha-yoga flourished. The Shadanga-yoga of Gorakshashatakam, Chaturanga-yoga of Hathayogapradipika, Saptanga-yoga of Gheranda Samhita, were the main tenents of Hatha-yoga. Now in the contemporary times, everybody has conviction about yoga practices towards the preservation, maintenance and promotion of health. Yoga has spread all over the world by the teachings of great personalities like Swami Shivananda, Shri T.Krishnamacharya, Swami Kuvalayananda, Shri Yogendara, Swami Rama, Sri Aurobindo, Maharshi Mahesh Yogi, Acharya Rajanish, Pattabhijois, BKS. Iyengar, Swami Satyananda Sarasvati and the like. B.K.S. Iyengar was the founder of the style of yoga known as ""Iyengar Yoga"" and was considered one of the foremost yoga teachers in the worldClearing Misconceptions: For many, the practice of yoga is restricted to Hatha Yoga and Asanas (postures). However, among the Yoga Sutras, just three sutrasare dedicated to asanas. fundamentally, hatha yoga is a preparatory process so that the body can sustain higher levels of energy. The process begins with the body, then the breath, the mind, and the inner self. Yoga is also commonly understood as a therapy or exercise system for health and fitness. While physical and mental health are natural consequences of yoga, the goal of yoga is more far-reaching. ""Yoga is about harmonizing oneself with the universe. It is the technology of aligning individual geometry with the cosmic, to achieve the highest level of perception and harmony.” Yoga does not adhere to any particular religion, belief system or community; it has always been approached as a technology for inner wellbeing. Anyone who practices yoga with involvement can reap its benefits, irrespective of one’s faith, ethnicity or culture.Traditional Schools of Yoga :These different Philosophies, Traditions, lineages and Guru-shishya paramparas of Yoga lead to the emergence of differnt Traditional Schools of Yoga e.g. Jnana-yoga, Bhakti-yoga, Karma-yoga, Dhyana-yoga, Patanjala-yoga, Kundalini-yoga, Hatha-yoga, Mantra-yoga, Laya-yoga, Raja-yoga, Jain-yoga, Bouddha-yoga etc. Each school has its own principles and practices leading to altimate aim and objectives of Yoga. Yogic Practices for Health and Wellness:The widely practiced Yoga Sadhanas (Practices) are: Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana (Meditation), Samadhi /Samyama, Bandhas & Mudras, Shat-karmas, Yukta-ahara, Yukta karma, Mantra japa, etc.Yama's are restraints and Niyama's are observances. These are considered to be pre-requisits for the Yoga Sadhanas (Practices). Asanas, capable of bringing about stability of body and mind ‘ kuryat-tad-asanam-sthairyam...’ , consists in adopting various body (psycho-physical) patterns, giving ability to maintain a body position (a stable awareness of one’s structural existence) for a considerable length and period of time as well. Different postures of PranayamPranayama consists in developing awareness of one’s breathing followed by willful regulation of respiration as the functional or vital basis of one’s existence. It helps in developing awareness of one’s mind and helps to establish control over the mind. In the initial stages, this is done by developing awareness of the ‘flow of in-breath and out-breath’ (svasa-prasvasa) through nostrils, mouth and other body openings, its internal and external pathways and destinations. Later, this phenomenan is modified, through regulated, controlled and monitored inhalation (svasa) leading to the awareness of the body space/s getting filled (puraka), the space/s remaning in a filled state (kumbhaka) and it’s getting emptied (rechaka) during regulated, controlled and monitored exhalation (prasvasa). Pratyhara indicates dissociation of one’s consciousness (withdrawal) from the sense organs which helps one to remain connected with the external objects. Dharana indicates broad based field of attetion (inside the body and mind) which is usually understood as concentration. Dhyana (Meditation) is contemplation (focussed attention inside the body and mind) and Samadhi – integration. Bandhas and Mudras are practices associated with pranayama. They are viewed as (the) higher Yogic practices mainly consisting on adopting certain body (psycho-physical) patterns along with (s well as) control over respiration.This further facilitates control over mind and paves way for higher yogic attainment.Shat-karmas are de-toxification procedures, help to remove the toxins acumalated in the body and are clinical in nature. Yuktahara (Right Food and other inputs) advocates appropriate food and food habits for healthy living. However practice of Dhyana (Meditation) helping in self-realization leading to transcendence is considered as the esssence of Yoga Sadhana (The Practice of Yoga). The Fundamentals of Yoga Sadhana: Yoga works on the level of one’s body, mind, emotion and energy. This has given rise to four broad classifications of Yoga: karma yoga, where we utilize the body; bhakti yoga, where we utilize the emotions; gyana yoga, where we utilize the mind and intelect; and kriya yoga, where we utilize the energy. Each system of Yoga we practice would fall within the gamut of one or more of these categories. Every individual is a unique combination of these four factors. ""All the ancient commentaries on Yoga have stressed that it is essential to work under the direction of a Guru.” The reason being that only a Guru can mix the appropriate combination of the four fundamental paths, as is necessary for each seeker.Yoga Education:Tradiitionally, Yoga Education was imparted by knowledgeable, experienced, and wise persons in the families (comparable with the education imparted in convents in the west) and then by the Seers (Rishis/Munis/Acharyas) in Ashramas (compared with monastries). Yoga Education, on the other hand, aims at taking care of the individual, the 'Being'. It is presumed that a good, balanced, integrated, truthful, clean, transparent person will be more useful to oneself, family, society, nation, nature and humanity at large. Yoga education is 'Being oriented'. Details of working with 'being oriented' aspect have been outlined in various living traditions and texts and the method contributing to this important field is known as 'Yoga'. Present days, Yoga Education is being imparted by many eminent Yoga Institutions, Yoga Colleges, Yoga Universites, Yoga Departments in the Universities, Naturopathy colleges and Private trusts & societies. Many Yoga Clinics, Yoga Therapy and Training Centers, Preventive Health Care Units of Yoga, Yoga Research Centers etc. have been established in Hospitals, Dispensories, Medical Institiutions and Therapetical setups. Different social customs and rituals in India, the land of Yoga, reflect a love for ecological balance, tolerance towards other systems of thought and a compassionate outlook towards all creations.Yoga Sadhana of all hues and colours is considered panacea for a meaningful life and living. Its orientation to a comprehensive health, both individual and social, makes it a worthy practice for the people of all religions, races and nationalities. Conclusion: Now-a-days, millions and millions of people across the globe have benefitted by the practice of Yoga which has been preserved and promoted by the great eminent Yoga Masters from ancient time to this date.The practice of Yoga is blossoming, and growing more vibrant every day. *​Dr. Ishwar V.

Maqbool bin Ali bin Sultan Al Lawati. Sheikh Muhammad bin Saud bin Salem Bahwan Al Mukhaini. Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Abdullah Al Abri. Board members will have a tenure of five years.

Filipchuk third at the IAAF World Race Walking Cup in May, on switching back to the track posted a World leading mark of 40:43.17 as he held off Cai who recorded a personal best 40:43.59. The winner's Russian team-mate Petr Bogatyrev, who was dropped by the pair with 250m remaining, also produced his fastest ever time of 40:50.37. Chai who prevented a one-two for the Russians as occurred in the women's race, along with the pair dominated the contest over the final three kilometres, the trio circuiting the stadium very quickly on each lap in their quest for gold. He was at that point sandwiched between his two rivals but hitting the front again at nine kilometres, he began to wind up the pace hoping to rid himself of the Russian challenge. When on the last lap Filipchuk the Russian champion moved into the lead, Chai responded to the change of pace although Bogatyrev started to go backwards. Filipchuk entering the final straight had what looked a winning lead, but Chai didn't throw in the towel and continued to challenge, just losing out at the line by just 0.42. Meredith and Martinot-Lagarde impressive in hurdles heats World 110m Hurdles leader Jack Meredith had plenty in reserve as he expended as little energy as possible when winning his qualifying heat when bright sunshine returned to the stadium after Thursday's soaking wet conditions. Meredith who set his British record of 13.32 when winning at the Bislett Games in Oslo at the beginning of June, went through the motions to progress in to tomorrow's semi finals in a time of 13.77. ""I was itching to come to the track all week,"" said Meredith who looked easy despite clipping a couple of the hurdles.""It was nice. I got my first one out of the way, got my legs moving, woke me up."" But so too did Pascal Martinot-Lagarde and Vladimir Vukicevic who last year's World Youth silver medallist believes will be his biggest rivals to lift the gold medal in Sunday afternoon's final. Martinot-Lagarde produced a faultless display of 13.53 to convincingly win his heat only to see Vukicevic go even faster in the next and final qualifier. The Frenchman said: ""A good race but I don't like to run in the morning. It worked out well though. I eased up at the end and still had a good time. It's promising for what's next."" Vukicevic the younger brother of Christina, Norway's top hurdler, skimmed the barriers to record the fastest time of the session with a clocking of 13.49. He said: ""It was a pretty easy run. I was running with low shoulders and just relaxing. I kept up the speed and sped up a little at the end."" The American pair of Caleb Cross and Jonathan Cabral also indicated they have the ability to achieve podium positions when winning their heats in PB's of 13.56 and 13.63. Kenyans mean business in Steeplechase opening round Albert Yator aiming to continue Kenyan domination of the 3000 steeplechase where the east African nation apart from Spain's Juan Azkueta winning the inaugural Championship title in 1986 when the distance was over two kilometres, has triumphed ever since. The 16-year-old didn't hang around setting a brisk pace with only Afewerk Mesfin going with him until the Ethiopian was caught by the chasing pack with a kilometre of the race remaining. Yator after kilometre splits of 2:46.90 and 5:41.13, built up a lead of around 50m, going on to win in a time of 8:40.92, well clear of Kosei Yamaguchi of Japan and Spain's Abdelaziz Merzougui who clocked 8:49.74 and 8:53.96. ""I didn't think it was a fast race, it was a very comfortable pace,"" said Yator before insisting: ""I want the gold."" The second race which developed into a two horse contest between Jacob Araptany and Johnathan Ndiku the world leader, was even quicker as they ploughed through the first two kilometres in 2:45.20 and 5:40.53. Ndiku the world's fastest this year was at the front of his Ugandan rival coming down the home straight and although qualification was guaranteed, Araptany jumped him on the line to win by 0.09 in a PB 8:28.14. ""When I'm running, I feel free, very free, the last stretch of the race was somewhat hard but I persisted,"" explained Araptany. Ethiopia's Desta Alemu was next across the line also in a PB 8:38.04, then there was another gap before the next automatic qualifier Tanguy Pepiot came home in a time of 8:49.38. Robby Andrews the fastest 800 performer in the world this season, left himself plenty to do before moving into the 800m semi finals although finishing second in his heat. Andrews was lying fourth coming off the bend in the first heat of the competition, but running wide he powered through to claim an automatic semi place behind France's Pierre-Ambroise Bosse who won by 0.20. The American after getting out of trouble and clocking 1:50.80, said: ""I didn't know what to expect - it's the World Championships."" First round 800 & 1500 metres Kenya's David Mutua posted the quickest qualifying time, a season's best of 1:49.37 as Mohammed Al-Garni after his third place in the previous evening 's 1500m final also progressed. The Qatari runner-up in his race with a time of 1:49.95, said: ""I'm a bit tired after last night so the most important thing for me was just to qualify, that was my first test."" There was nearly a shock exit in the 1500 for Asmerawork Bekele the fastest woman in the field when she trailed in fourth in her heat after falling backwards on the approach to the bell. The Ethiopian who coming into the home straight was slightly barged and fell off the leading pack eventually made it into the final as one of the fastest losers in 4:18.55. ""I found the race a bit tough, because I was ill recently,"" said Bekele. ""I was pushed from behind. It didn't affect the outcome that much though, because I have my own problem."" Bekele who ran 4:08.30 in Huelva last month is still expected to be one of the main contenders for the gold medal in Sunday';s final along with teammate Tizita Bogale who she beat by 0.43sec in the Spanish race and the Kenyan pair of Nelly Ngeiywo and Nancy Chepkwemoi. Bogale won the first heat in an untroubled 4:12.95 from Romania's Ioana Doaga who posted a PB 4:12.98 while Ngeiywo last year's World Youth gold medallist, ran her season's fastest of 4:13.00. Chepkwemoi running enthusiastically in the third heat (where Bekele nearly became a cropper) clocked a personal best of 4:11.42 as she pulled Amela Terzic the runner-up to a Serbian record of 4:13.46 with third placed Briton Laura Weightman (4:17.11). Qualifiers infield too High Jump gold medal favourite Airine Palsyte along with her other two likely gold medal candidates Elena Vallortigara and Chiara Vitobello kept clean sheets when qualifying for Sunday's final. Palsyte fourth at last year's World Youth Championships had no problems when needing to clear 1.81m to progress as did her two Italian rivals. The trio's task to medal will be much easier through the absence of Mariya Kuchina and Alessia Trost who were not chosen by their respective Russian and Italian federations. Andrius Gudzius the world discus leader saved face when on the precipice of elimination having produced a no throw and a poor effort of 55.57, produced the furthest of the qualifying rounds. The Lithuanian finally getting his technique threw of 63.14m - the fourth time he has been over 63m this year, highlighted by his best of 65.51m at the end of June. Five others bettered the automatic qualifier including the World Junior record holder Mykyta Nesterenko who threw 70.13m two years ago when still a youth. The Ukrainian the bronze medallist in Bydgoszcz at the last championships, landed his qualifier of 60.90m with his first attempt as did Jamaica's Chad Wright (59.55) and Australian Julian Wruck (59.87). Angelica Bengtsson who took the first step in her bid to adding another gold medal to the World Youth title she won a year ago in Bressanone is also aiming to achieve another ambition. Bengtsson said: ""My goal in this competition is to make the Swedish senior record,"" belonging to Kirsten Belin who vaulted 4.51m in 2002. The Swede only needed a height of 3.95m to qualify for the final where the USA champion Shade Weygandt and Holly Bleasdale of Great Britain are also podium finish contenders.

There was a national record by Konstantin Shabanov in the men’s 110m Hurdles. His time of 13.32 seconds was the only new national mark set in Cheboksary. The sprint hurdles are a kind of a family affair in Shabanov's family. His father was the member of the Russian national team and was one of the best Russian 110m hurdlers of his generation. The other highlight of the men’s competition was Aleksandr Bulanov who won the men's Shot Put with an excellent effort of 19.98m. Pay attention to the 15-year-old Victoriya Sadova, who is the daughter of Nataliya Sadova the reigning Olympic Discus Throw champion. Victoriya is progressing very fast in Discus following her mother's tracks. Here in Cheboksary she was second with a throw of 47.08m. Another good result was achieved by 18-year-old Yekaterina Kolesova who cleared 4.40m in Women's Pole Vault. Reigning World Youth champion Darya Klishina leapt 6.20m for third in the women’s Long Jump.

Robinson, the premier Bahamian athlete of the twentieth century was the first Bahamian Track and Field athlete to participate in the Olympic Games. Robinson, a world class sprinter, finished fourth in the first round of the 100m and 200m at the tender age of eighteen in Melbourne, Australia, in 1956. The following year, Robinson became the first Bahamian to win an international medal in Track and Field when he won a bronze medal in the 100m at the West Indian Federation Games in Kingston, Jamaica. The 400m relay, made up of Enoch Backford, Oscar Francis, and Tom Grant, and Robinson, also won a bronze medal. At the British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Cardiff, Wales, in 1958, Robinson shocked the world in winning the 220 yard dash, while defeating Jamaica’s Keith Gardner. Robinson, who was a lone member of the Bahamas team, was second to Gardner in the 100 yards. At the Rome Olympics in 1960 he made it to the semi-final of both 100m and 200m. In 1962 he defeated the likes of Cuba’s Enrique Figuerola, Jamaica’s Dennis Johnson, and Venezuela’s Rafael Romero, Arquimedes Herrera, and Horacio Esteves, to win the 100m at the Central American and Caribbean Games in Kingston, Jamaica. Later that year he won the Silver medal in the 200m at the British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Perth, Australia. Before making it to the final of the 100m in Tokyo in 1964, Robinson set a new World Indoor record in the 300m in Saskatoon, Canada. In 1966 at the Commonwealth Games in Kingston, Jamaica, Robinson, who had attended the University of Michigan from 1957 to 1962, finished second to Canada’s Harry Jerome in the 100m. It took more than an hour before Jerome, who had previously tied the 100 yards and 100m World records, was declared the winner. Robinson had a hamstring injury in the semi-final of the 400m relay at the Mexico City Olympics in 1968, dashing the hopes of the Bahamian team. After he finished competition at the Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh in 1970, Robinson continued his involvement in athletics as a manager and coach. The stadium in Nassau was named after him in 1981. The luncheon was attended by a host of national figures including the Governor General of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas, Arthur Dion Hanna, The Prime Minister, Hubert Alexander Ingraham, and the Leader of the Opposition, Perry Gladstone Christie, a teammate of Robinson. Christie, the former Prime Minister, was the first Bahamian to win an international medal in a field event, a Bronze in the Triple Jump in the 1962 Central American and Caribbean Games. Cuba’s Enrique Figuerola, the Silver medalist in the 100m at the Tokyo Olympics, and Hilton Nicholson, his roommate at the University of Michigan attended, and Reverend Canon Dr. Gervais Clarke, Secretary General of the North American, Central American, and Caribbean Area Athletic Association also attended. During the Luncheon Prime Minister Ingraham announced that the new stadium which is under construction, and is expected to be finished in July of 2011, will also bear the name of Thomas Augustus Robinson. During the Luncheon the Committee announced the establishment of an Athletic Scholarship in Robinson’s name at the College of The Bahamas for a deserving Track and Field athlete. The Scholarship is worth $10,000. That Friday, July 24th, marked the fifty-first anniversary of Robinson’s historic win in the 220 yards in Cardiff, Wales. It was declared Tommy Robinson Day by Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham. Robinson, who turned seventy-one in March of this year, was diagnosed with stomach cancer last year. The Luncheon, which had more than six hundred well wishers from every walk of Bahamian life in attendance, was organized by The Friends of Thomas Augustus(Tommy) Robinson committee.

Ramzi finished runner-up to Alex Kipchirchir in the Bowerman mile in the event last time out but the 25-year-old will be keen to clinch first place in this year's competition, which takes place on 28 May. However, it will not be easy for the 25-year-old Moroccan-born star, who now represents Bahrain, as Kenyan ace Kipchirchir will also be there to defend his title. The race has the hallmarks of being a thriller with Kipchirchir claiming the 800m gold medal at this year's Commonwealth Games while Ramzi recorded a remarkable 800 and 1500m double at last summer's World Championships. Such a feat at a global championship was last acheived by Peter Snell at the 1964 Olympic Games. Two-time Olympic 1500m medallist Bernard Lagat and his American teammate Alan Webb, who last Sunday became the USA's quickest-ever 10,000m debutant, are also set to feature in the race. All four athletes ran under three minutes 50 seconds for the distance last year. Other fields are also taking shape. Walter Davis, the reigning Triple Jump world champion both indoors and out, is set to face Olympic champion Christian Olsson of Sweden. Olsson hasn't competed since the 2004 World Athletics Final, and has undergone four surgeries on his right foot since. The women's Long Jump field includes a wide array of champions: Tianna Madison, the reigning World champion outdoors, Russian Tatyana Kotova, who leaped to the World indoor title in March, and Tatyana Lebedeva, the Olympic champion. Dwight Phillips, the World and Olympic champion, tops the men's Long Jump field. Americans Justin Gatlin and Shawn Crawford, the Olympic champions at 100 and 200m, will also face off in the 100.

He was right. During all the days of the championships in Tula coaches were trying by all means to push their athletes towards Sydney. The athletes needed to win one of two first places in each event and fulfil qualification standards to take a place in the team. First of all there were rather tough standards of the national federation and in case the athletes could not reach them they were asked to show international standards. Although sporadic heavy rains throughout the championships did nothing to help produce good results, outstanding results were achieved in heptathlon. Yelena Prohorova showed 6765 points, Natalya Roschupkina – 6633 and Diana Koritskay –6401. Prohorova needed only 6 weeks to add to improve her personal best result by 245 points. She says that she can still improve her throwing and 100 metres hurdles to fight for the Olympic gold medal. Yuriy Borzakovsiy ran 400 m with a new Russian junior record of 45.84 and was timed during that running with new personal best results at 200 and 300 m. He wants to improve his acceleration for the 800 m in Sydney. His next start will be in Stockholm (August 1) at 1000 m. And then he will be training in Kislovodsk without any competitions. The new Russian junior record was established by Yelena Isinbayeva in the pole vault. She cleared 4.40 metres together with the winner Yelena Poliakova in hard rainy conditions. Tatiana Lebedeva showed in triple jump 14.82 against a strong wind in all her jumps. She says that now she is ready to reach results over 15 m. It is clear that Viacheslav Voronin will be joined in Sydney by his training partner Sergei Kliugin who jumped 2,33. A new Russian hope in pole vault the winner of the world junior championships Pavel Gerasimov overcome 5.85 in a second jump to take a rather easy victory. Natalya Tsyganova ran 800 m with a world season and personal best of 1:56.60. Second place went to Olga Raspopova with 1:56.85. Now Natalya says that it is a good base for the Olympic battle and she is going to make further progress at the competitions in Stockholm and Zurich. Meanwhile Irina Privalova got a 12th victory at the national championships but that time in 400 m/h with 54.21. She says that she can manage to reach 53 seconds to contest for an Olympic medal. The coaches named the athletes selected in the Olympic team, though there may still be some corrections in the near future because some discussions on the team are still in process.

Close to her Area record The competition started on Saturday (21) with great weather and concluded on Sunday (24) on a rainy day. In the infield, Fabiana Murer ratified her position as the number 3 vaulter in the current IAAF World Ranking, and jumped a “Troféu” record of 4.57m and later had 3 failures at 4.67m, a height that would have represented an improvement of 1cm to her own South American record. Murer comes off a great European tour, where she has emerged as one of the best female athletes of the area, as well as one of the best vaulters in the world. Her best performances were those at the Monaco GP (1st), Memorial van Damme, Brussels (2nd), and Athens World Cup (2nd). The 25 year-old has taken the area record from 4.43 to 4.66m in 2006. Murer set that mark in Monaco and later equalled it in Brussels, where she was the best athlete after the great Yelena Isinbayeva, a feat she repeated at the World Cup. Maggi back with a title After more of 2 years of absence due to a doping suspension and the birth of her daughter Sophia, Maurren Maggi repeated her top performance of the year (6.84m, 1.0m/s wind) to capture her fifth national title in the Long Jump. Maggi had already jumped that distance at the 2600m of altitude of Bogotá on 15 July, and this performance ratifies her good form. At 30 years of age, Maggi hopes that she can still be a force in the international scene. Maggi has a personal best and South American record of 7.26m (Bogotá, 26 June 1999) and took the bronze medal at the 2003 World Indoor Championships. According to the Brazilian Confederation, the top male performance belonged to long jumper Rogério Bispo, who leapt to 8.05m (wind 1.1) to capture his event. The 20-year-old Bispo was followed by Peruvian Louis Tristán, who with an 8.02m performance (wind 1.8) set a new national record. Bispo has jumped 8.21m this season. This two athletes (and Maurren Maggi) are coached by Nélio Moura, the man who also trains Panamanian Irving Saladino, the number one long jumper in the IAAF World Ranking. Parrela's run brings back epic memories After Bispo’s performance, it was also remarkable the 400m 45.49 mark produced by the 31-year-old Sanderlei Parrela. Parrela, who was able to win his fifth title at the distance, also recorded his best performance of the past 5 seasons. The runner, coached by Luiz Alberto de Oliveira, is a former silver medallist at the 1999 World Championships in Seville, who has had several injury problems, and now has finally been able to show some of that class. Parrela set his 44.29 South American record at an epic race for the distance in Sevilla, where he finished second behind the great American Michael Johnson. In that race in Andalusia the Texan set the current World Record of 43.18. After a promising 8:30 debut at 3000m Steeplechase in the Linz GP, Hudson de Souza went back to his roots and took a double victory at 1500 and 5000m in 3:43.53 and 13:42.56 respectively, while Fabiano Peçanha surprised the “Golden League 800 rabbit” Osmar dos Santos, to beat him 1:46.34 to 1:46.87. Osmar will turn 38 years of age next 20 October. Defeat for Gregório Another upset was witnessed in the Men’s Triple Jump, where Jefferson Dias Sabino beat the World Indoor Champion, World Athletics Final and World Cup runner-up Jadel Gregório 16.71m to 16.49m. Gregório made no excuses, but was competing with an injury on his right hamstring and after a long European season. Now he will take some time off and travel back to Newcastle in December to continue his training in the hands of Peter Stanley, the man who coached the great Englishman Jonathan Edwards to his 18.29m World Record. One national record Only one Brazilian national record was improved over the weekend. 29-year-old Katiuscia Borges de Jesus threw the Hammer at 62.64m on her last attempt; only minutes before Josiane Soares had obtained the previous record of 62.20m. Prior to this event, the top mark was 62.12m and also belonged to Soares since 2004. Besides Murer’s and de Jesus’s championship records, 2 other Championship top marks were bettered. Those were the ones of the men’s Hammer (67.67m by Wágner Domingos) and the women’s Javelin (58.21m by Alessandra Resende). Rosemar Coelho Neto, Lucimar Teodoro, Juliana Azevedo and Elisângela Adriano obtained double-victories at the Troféu. Coelho Neto won the 100 and 200m in 11.59 and 23.27. Teodoro, the 400 and 400mh in 52.32 and 56.58. Azevedo, the 800 and 1500m in 2:01.63 and 4:16.25 (a personal best) and Adriano the Shot and Discus with 17.03 and 58.09m respectively. For the 34 year-old Adriano, these titles represented her 15th at Shot and 13th at Discus. On the opposite side of the spectrum was 19 year-old Luiz Alberto de Araújo, who won his first title at the Decathlon. De Araújo, 6th at the recent World Junior Championships in Beijing, scored a personal best (with the senior implements) of 7386 points. The mark represents the second all-time performance in the South American Junior lists after the 7422 points’ area record of Pedro Ferreira da Silva that was set in 1985. At the team competition, the victory was easily obtained by Clube de Atletismo BM&F. After the “Troféu”, most of the Brazilian athletes will compete at the 44th edition of the South American Championships that will happen between 29 September and 1 October in Tunja, Colombia.

The Ukrainian women’s 4x100m team took bronze at the 2012 Olympics and 2011 World Championships and the relay squad includes all the sprinters who featured on both teams. Hanna Melnychenko will be the sole representative in the Heptathlon, but will be a genuine medal contender after winning in Kladno with 6416.

Brazil’s Maurren Maggi and Argentina’s Solange Witteveen produced a pair of world class performances at the second day of the 41st Edition of the South American Championships. Maggi took the victory in the 100 metres hurdles with a new Area record of 12.71. The mark is also the best in the world this year. Maggi improved her own record which was 12.86, and was set at the 1999 Pan American Games in Winnipeg. “I can’t believe it. I knew the track was fast, but I never thought it would be this fast!"", said Maggi after the race, but her race wasn’t as would appear from the time, since she hit 2 hurdles. Brazil’s Maíla Machado was second with a personal best of 13.18, while Venezuelan Sandrine Legenort was 3rd with a National Junior Record of 13.88. Witteveen was also outstanding by winning the High Jump title for the second time in her career. Her mark of 1.97 is a new South American Record and puts her on top of the World Lists, alongside South Africa’s Hestrie Cloete. The previous record of 1.96 was set in Oristano, Italy in 1997. Her series was: 1.65, 1.70, 175, 180, 183, 1.86 and 1.89 all at the 1st attempt; 1.92 in the 2nd, 1.95 in the 1st and 1.97 in the 2nd. Then she had 3 fouls at 1.99. The high quality of performances achieved by Maggi and Witteveen, overshadowed the victory of the 1999 World Championships silver medalist in the 400 metres, Brazil’s Sanderlei Parrela who won in 45.11, a new Championship Record. Three other Championship records were set on Saturday. Karina Moya (ARG), 60.83 in the Hammer, Márcio de Souza (BRA), 13.64 in the 110mh, and Édson Bindilatti (BRA), 7564 in the Decathlon. Other remarkable performance was obtained by the 4x100 metres relay of Brazil, that won the event in 38.67. Overall, Brazil keeps dominating the event. On Saturday the host won 13 golds, Argentina 2, and Chile 1.

Then again, he looks like the sort of guy that things happen around. With his ragged beard and long ropes of curly hair, he looks more like an extra out of Taras Bulba than an Olympic champion high jumper. But he revealed a gentler side at his press conference when he said the first thing he did after winning was call his wife Polina, and say that he’d be home to Moscow soon, and the first thing he was going to do was hug his two year old daughter Melanie. However….the 'thing’ that happened to Ukhov while winning the Olympic high jump on Day Four of athletics at London 2012 was that he lost his shirt. Not in the metaphoric sense; that he lost at gambling, a practice frowned upon in the athletics hierarchy almost as much as competing while under the influence, so to speak. No, he literally lost his shirt. Ukhov, 26, takes his vest/shirt off after every (successful) jump. He puts on a tee-shirt and waits for the next jump to don his competition vest. But when he came to jump at 2.33, Ukhov couldn’t find his vest. In short, someone had pinched it. After a few moments consternation, the Russian borrowed the T-Shirt of his colleague the defending champion Andrey Silnov and pinned his spare number too it. Ukhov later took the victory with 2.38 and having had a lengthy wait to attempt a new Olympic record of 2.40m, because the women’s 200 metres semi-finals got underway, and prevented his run up from the middle of the track on the bottom bend, he called it a night. But of course, the first question at the press conference was about the missing vest. ""I don’t know, no idea,"" said Ukhov, ""the shirt miraculously disappeared. I do it after every jump, but couldn’t find it. No one knows where the shirt is. My 'friends’ say they haven’t taken it,"" he added, looking askance to his right at the silver medallist Erik Kynard of the USA, and to his left at the three bronze medallists (I told you things happen around Ukhov – that’s right, three bronze medallists). Ukhov was born in Chelyabinsk, a city to the east of the Ural Mountains, on the borders of Europe and Asia, but now lives and trains in central Moscow. Fans may have been worried when the rain began to fall halfway through Tuesday’s competition, since Ukhov, like most jumpers, has said in the past he hates to compete in the rain. But he dismissed it afterwards, saying, ""you have to prepare yourself for everything, it didn’t distract me"". That was clear, his clearances were exhilaratingly clean right up to 2.38 metres, just one centimetre short of his outdoor best. The problems only began when he wanted to attempt an Olympic record of 2.40, which he has done indoors. First there was the delay due to the 200 metres women, then there was the question of the missing shirt. ""I think I could have set a new Olympic record if I hadn’t been prevented from doing so. By that time, there were just too many people on the track"". According to our Russian media colleague Nikolai Dolgopolov, Ukhov bears a strong resemblance to the last great straddle jumper Vladimir Yashchenko, who set several World records while still a teenager in the 1970s. Dolgopolov mentioned this to Ukhov, who thanked him for the comparison. Dolgopolov was impressed, ""That’s the first time he’s ever thanked me for anything"". Yashchenko’s career was cut short prematurely by an accident at the age of 20; and he had a sad demise 13 years ago, dying of cirrhosis of the liver, at the age of 40. Which brings us the 'thing’ that most people know Ukhov for; competing in Lausanne four years ago, while the worse for drink. He was censured by the IAAF for the incident. Your intrepid correspondent raised the question towards the end of the conference but, like the shirt, the answer went missing. ""He hates this question,"" said Dolgopolov, ""he’s never answered it. In fact it’s the best way of ending a press conference"". And so it was. Pat Butcher for the IAAF",0

Click here for the FULL STORY of Yelena Soboleva’s World Record Kotlyarova shows preference for 800m with 1:57.51 At the end of January in Glasgow, Scotland, Olga Kotlyarova was a member of the Russian squad that improved* the World Indoor record for 4x400m, and the 29-year-old also has several major relay medals to her credit including the 1999 World Champs title. However, it is clear after today’s run that the 800m is now her most cherished distance. Kotlyarova won the race with a world season’s best of 1:57.51 which registered her as the eighth fastest athlete of all-time. In doing so she improved her personal best from the 1:58.94 which she set on 24 January in Moscow. The World Indoor 400m silver medallist of 2001 now looks sure to change her specialty to the 800m for good. Today, the first lap was run in 27.23; 400m 58.63; 600m 1.29.05. The 200m may no more appear in the programme of either the World or European Indoor championships but this discipline is somehow adored by Russian fans of athletics and so it has been retained in the Nationals. The men’s 200m was dominated by the 20-year-old Ivan Titov with a time of 21.32. Roman Smirnov was the runner-up (21.49), and Maksim Mokrousov finished third (21.78). In the women’s division, the well-known 400m runner Natalya Ivanova won the gold, clocking the equal 5th best result of the current world indoor season – 23.13. The 20-year-old Yelena Novikova was second (23.19) and Ludmila Zuenko got the bronze, (23.28). Nazarova runs seventh fastest 400m of all-time indoors – 49.98 Reigning two-time World Indoor champion Natalya Nazarova won the women’s 400m with an excellent run of 49.98 seconds to indicate she is very much on course to defend her title in Moscow at the 11th IAAF World Indoor Championships (10-12 March). It was of course the best result in the world of the current indoor season, and more importantly the seventh fastest run of all-time indoors. Last year seemed to be rather disappointing for the 26-year-old but now all those troubles seem to be behind her. Olesya Krasnomovets was second (50.04) and Natalya Antyukh was third (50.37). The result of the fourth finalist, Tatyana Levina was also very good – 51.17. The relatively unknown runner Dmitriy Petrov won the men’s 400m with his personal best of 46.28. Vladislav Frolov was second (46.60) and Yevgeniy Lebedev, third (46.69). The runner who finished fourth is naturally also included in the World Indoor Champs relay team. It was Konstantin Svechkar – 46.90. Bogdanov loses out to Aritkulov Everybody was sure that in the absence of Yuriy Borzakovskiy in the 800m that his friend Dmitriy Bogdanov, the European Indoor champion would dominate but it was not to be. Bogdanov was only the runner-up (1:47.46), with the gold instead going to Ramil Aritkulov – 1:47.08. The men’s 3000m was won swiftly by Sergey Ivanov in 7:48.18, with Pavel Naumov (7:50.44) in second, a notable level of performances which gurantees both men will participate in the World Indoor Championships. The 4x200m relays are always popular in Russia. The winning result of the women’s quartet from the region of Sverdlovsk was 1:34.85. The men’s relay was also won by their teammates – 1:25.47. Easy win for Slesarenko The women’s High Jump was won rather easily by the Olympic champion Yelena Slesarenko who is doing better and better with every competition. The 23-year-old’s 1.98m was her best of the indoor season so far, two centimetres higher than her win in Samara on 4 February. Two other high jumpers cleared 1.95m, with Anna Chicherova, 23, the European Indoor champion, winning on count back from Anna Savchenko. Nobody expected Dmitriy Starodubtsev to win the men’s Pole Vault. His result was rather modest, a vault of 5.65m but the World Junior champion was the youngest among all participants. The World and European Indoor champion Igor Pavlov could only manage 5.60m for silver, while Dmitriy Kuptzov was third on count-back with the same result. The women’s Long jump was won by Oksana Udmurtova with 6.77m, Ludmila Kolchanova was second (6.69) and the 19-year-old Yelena Kremneva was the bronze medal winner on 6.51m. The men’s Triple Jump was dominated by Viktor Guzshinsky, who is currently the man in-form athlete. The second furthest jumper of this winter (17.33 – 4 Feb) produced another large leap of 17.22m for the win. It was too good for European Indoor champion Igor Spasovkhodskiy (17.09) or Olympic bronze medallist Danila Burkenya (17.08m). Women’s Shot Put was won by 2005 World Championships silver medallist Olga Ryabinkina - 19.07m.

This is the seventh title at the event for the 36-year-old from São Paulo, who is also the South American record-holder with 61.96m (1998). Adriano set a new Championship record with her second round effort of 61.00m, which is her fourth performance ever. “This is my last South American Championships,” said Adriano. “I know I have said that many times, but I’m thinking about stopping my career to have a family, and this is perhaps a good time. It’s strange because I’m in very good form, but I’m almost certain that this will be my last one.” On Sunday(21), the Brazilian will be pursuing her ninth Shot Put title, event where she also holds the South American record with 19.30m (2001). She will be up against the young Chilean Natalia Ducó, the 2008 IAAF World Junior Champion and South American junior record-holder. Ibargüen impresses in the Javelin Colombian Arley Ibargüen also provided shine to the cold second day of competition at the track of the “Villa Deportiva Nacional” in the Peruvian capital. The 26-year-old javelin thrower regained the National record with his opening effort of 81.07m, a mark that’s also a Championship record, and makes him the third performer in the all-time South American lists behind the Paraguayan duo of Edgar Baumann (84.70m ’99) and Nery Kennedy (81.28m ’98). Ibargüen had first taken the Colombian NR with 79.25m in 25 April (at Ponce, Puerto Rico), but lost it to Noraldo Palacios at the National Championships on 24 May (at Bogotá). Palacios threw 79.61m on that day, to 79.36m of Ibargüen. The 81.07m record performance by Ibargüen was backed by a consistent series: 81.07m, 77.99m, 72.79m, 75.32m, 80.07m and 78.09m. South American Race Walk record for Ordóñez Ecuador will always be recognized for its walkers, after the influence of Olympic and World Champion Jefferson Pérez. Now, to continue the tradition, 21-year-old Johana won the 20,000m in Lima with a South American record of 1:34:58. Ordóñez had a very balanced race. Crossed the 10,000m in 47:19, along with three other walkers, and later dropped her company to walk the final part of the race alone. Colombian Sandra Zapata followed the Ecuadorian with a NR time of 1:35:53, while Brazilian Tânia Spindler was third with a PB of 1:36:32. Championship records fall Besides the ones of Adriano, Ordóñez and Ibargüen, three other Championship records fell in Lima on the second day of competition. Peruvian Mario Bazán confirmed his position of number one of the South American lists in the 3000m Steeplechase, and provided the most emotional moment of the day for the home crowd with his 8:35.17 victory over Venezuelan José Gregorio Peña. Bazán became the first Peruvian ever to win a South American title at the Steeplechase, and the first male to win a title in the championships since Hugo Muñoz took the High Jump in 1993. After Brazilians Gládson Barbosa and Fernando Alex Fernandes abandoned the race, Bazán and Peña covered most of the final stages together, but the Peruvian proved to be stronger in the home straight. Peña was defeated by one second, but set a PB of 8:36.17. In the women’s Steeplechase, Brazilian Sabine Heitling emulated Bazán’s feat. The 21-year-old from Porto Alegre, who is the 2007 Pan-American Games champion and 2008 Ibero-Americano Champion, went out strongly and ran the second part of the competition without company, to cross the finish line in 9:52.54, barely missing her 9:51.13 PB (2007). Colombian Ángela Figueroa was second with a National record of 9:54.83. The final Championship record of the day fell to Brazilian Lucimara da Silva in the Heptathlon, thanks to her 5996 points. Da Silva, the South American record holder with 6076 (from the Beijing Olympic Games where she placed 17th), had a very strong second day, a “PB” of 2493 points based on a good long jump effort (6.32m, the best by a South American in a Heptathlon), and a valiant 800m run (a PB of 2:15.79). “I’m still not at my best, just recovering from a pulled hamstring, so in my second Heptathlon of the year I was just trying to be consistent,” said the 23 year-old da Silva. Cerra wins eighth title in a row Argentina’s Juan Ignacio Cerra, the South American record holder in the Hammer Throw, made history with his eighth consecutive victory at the Championships after taking the event with a toss of 69.42m. The 32-year-old left handed thrower from Santa Fe began his tally at the South American Championships in 1997, in Mar del Plata, and has been unbeaten in the region since then.

The main attention was paid to the women’s 800m in which her daughter, the U23 Belarus champion Maryna Katovich, took part. On the finish line four athletes were still in contention for victory and among them was Katovich. The Ukraine’s Tamara Tverdostup sped away with 30 metres to go and was took first place in 2:02.48. Katovich managed to hold on to second place in 2:02.89, while in third Tatsiana Suprun, winner of the Belarus Cup, clocked 2:03.22. Another good win came in the women’s 1500 m where Lithuania’s Egle Kristaponite defeated the field 4:22.55. Personal bests were established by triple jumpers Iryna Charnushenka-Stasiuk from Minsk and Volha Sergeenka from Gomel. They both made it with their first attempts. Charnushenka-Stasiuk jumped on 6.74 and celebrated the victory, while Sergeenka landed just 2cm short and took second place.

Ostapchuk prevails over Mikhnevich in strong Shot Put competition Mikhnevich, who recently impressed at the Olympic Champion Prize meeting in Minsk, continued her solid momentum. She took control of the competition with an opening round 20.70m throw. Ostapchuk responded with a nearly identical throw in the third round, taking the lead with a 20.71m effort. Ostapchuk, however, wasn’t finished. In the final round she added 19cm to her throw, to extend the world lead to 20.90m. It was too much for Mikhnevich, who nonetheless finished the competition with a solid 20.18m toss. “The rain had a big influence on the competition,” the winner said. “Only the first attempts were on a dry circle.” Mikhnevich said that approaching the 21m line wasn’t a direct aim of the competition. “- The aim was just to gain the competitive experience. And that I also won the championship, is certainly pleasing. I accomplished everything I wanted to at this competition. While the leading pair were certainly “on” at the competition, the same can’t be said for Sydney Olypmic champion Yanina Karolchyk-Pravalinskaya. Slipping and sliding across the circle, she fouled three times, and twice threw just beyond 18 metres. Her best, an 18.02m effort, was enough to finish third. Tsikhan debuts with 84.51m Reigning World champion Ivan Tsikhan made his 2008 debut a notable one, reaching 84.51, also a world lead. Two throws, his fourth and fifth, sailed beyond 84m and in the second he reached a solid 83.31m. “It was my first start in the season, Tsikhan said, addind, “The reserve is there for farther throws.” Another local standout, Valeriy Sviatokha, improved his season best by 3 cm to 80.73m, to finish second. Andrei Varantsou from Mogilyov took third (79.60m). Mikhnevich over Bialou in men’s shot The fiercest competition was in the men’s Shot Put. Andrei Mikhnevich produced a solid series, with six throws reaching beyond 20.70m, topped by his 21.33m in the final round. But he was under constant pressure by Yuriy Bialou, who in the third round reached 21.00m, a mark Mikhnevich didn’t surpass until his winner in the final round. One more apprentice of trainer Edita Gurskaya, Pavel Lyzhyn, reaced 20.81m in the second round, to finish third. As far as the weather was concerned, the male hammer throwers were much luckier than the women. World leader Aksana Miankova, who has thrown 77 metres, and Volha Tsander, the Belarusian No. 2, decided to skip the championship. In their absence, Darya Pchelnik took over temporary leadership, along with Mariya Smaliachkova. Everything was resolved in the first round when Pchelnik reached 72.16m, a lead which she extended by 75cm to 72.91m to take the commanding victory. Smaliachkova (70.47m) and Nadzeya Pauliukouskaya (69.01m) followed. After her success in Minsk, Iryna Yatchenko decided against competing in Grodno. But her husband and the trainer of the national team, Igor Astapkovich, insisted that she needed the competitive experience and took part after all. In the first round she reached 63.45m, despite a slippery throwing circle, to take the win. There appears to be a changing of the guard in the women’s Javelin Throw. Not long ago, Natallia Shymchuk had set the national record but in Grodno, it was Maryna Novik who won the title with a 62.04m throw, not far from the national mark. Elsewhere, after a rough start, Maksim Lynsha nonetheless took the 110m Hurdles title, coming close to his PB with a 13.68 performance. Leading from the start, Volha Krautsova won the 5000m in 15:24.40. Mikhail Dubitski for the IAAF Leading Results: MEN - 100m: 1. Ivan Dymar 10.70 2. Leonid Mezhenov 10.81 3.

Aiming for a repeat in Athens, the Ethiopian duo returns, accompanied by two-time Olympic and 2001 World Champion Derartu Tulu. For the defending champion Tulu, who posted a solid 30:51.07 performance in July, a victory here would make her the first African to win three Olympic gold medals. UPDATE: E. Dibaba replaces Adere in 10,000m - Defar takes her place in 5000m, click here for story Sun Yingjie and Xing Huina of China also figured prominently in the Paris race, and both will compete here. Yingjie, controlled much of the scorching pace in Paris and held on to finish third. It is possible she will race just five days after her run in the marathon but reportedly she is only in the tracks team. Huina, who set a World Junior record in Paris, will definitely race with fresh legs before contesting the 5000 later in the week. Sally Barsosio, the 1997 World Champion at the distance, leads a formidable Kenyan trio. Barsosio ran a near-PB 31:18.72 in late April. She’ll be joined by the 21-year-old Alice Timbilil, whose 31:23.99 win at Utrecht in mid-June was a personal best by nearly 20 seconds. 20-year-old Lucy Wangui, the Kenyan junior record holder, has run a solo 31:32.69 this season. Russian veterans Ludmila Grigorieva (31:01.15 - SB) and Alla Zhilyayeva (31:07.58 - SB) are fourth and eighth on the season's world list, and may play a strong role. Zhilyayeva and third Russian entrant Galina Bogomolova were fifth and sixth in the unforgettable Paris race. Benita Johnson, who ran the race of her life to win the World Cross Country long course title in March, is looking to repeat that performance here. In Brussels, she handily beat Kidane, Timbilil and Barsosio. The biggest question mark looming over the race is the possible participation of world leader and marathon World Record holder Paula Radcliffe. The Briton has yet to decide if she’ll double back after her eagerly anticipated appearance in the marathon. BR NOTE. T. Dibaba is currently the number one in the 5000m/10,000m event category of the IAAF World Rankings",0

From the start a group of 15 set a 2:09 pace but unfortunately with temperatures going over 20C already by 10am the lead pack started quickly to break up, with Oleksandr Kuzin of Ukraine taking the race through halfway in 1:05:10. By the 30th kilometre only one of the original leading pack was still in contention and that was Stephen Kibiwott, who was by then running solo in the lead, some 30 seconds ahead of Luka Chelimo and Joseph Riri of Kenya (PB 2:06:49), one of the pre-race favourites. But the heat was to mark his demise too as six kilometres later he had to stop and it looked like he was giving up for good. Bravely he did manage to re-start his race and ultimately he ended up finishing in a brave 4th place in a time of 2:13:50. Kibiwott would later drop out. Of the three runners who past him to contest the title, there were two 33-year-olds from Portugal, Hélder Ornelas (PB 2:09:59), the winner of the 2005 Milan Marathon, and Paulo C. Gomes (PB 2:15:56), and the other was Kenyan Luka K. Chelimo (PB 2:18:42). Chelimo was the pace setter of this trio but 2 kilometres from the end Helder went past to finish first in 2:11:49, ahead of Chelimo who smashed his personal best with 2:12:36, with Gomes taking third in 2:12:51, also slashing away at his career's previous fastest. Pavel Faschingbauer, was the first Czech home in 7th with 2:18:55, so retaining the national title. Nailya Yulamanova of Russia was the winner of the women’s division in a time of 2:33:10, and was followed home by Malgorzata Sobanska of Poland (2:35:02), and Veronika Brychcinova of the Czech Republic took third in 2:40:50, and the national title. Defending race champion Alina Ivanova of Russia was one of many who was forced to drop out due to hot weather. A total of 3200 runners finished within the 6 hours allotted for the marathon.

The team representing the Mogilev region - Sergey Serkov, Anis Ananenka, Sergey Traulko and Vadzim Kebets - finished second in 3:14.48, also under the previous national record. Two more pupils of Myasnikov pupils took national titles. Once again it was Maksim Lynsha who won the 60m Hurdles in 7.67 while Alina Talai won the women’s title in 8.07. Linnik and Talai received the best athlete of the meet awards from the Sportivnaya Panorama newspaper. Young Marina Arzamasova, the daughter of the late European champion Ravilya Agletdinova-Kotovich, beat the more experienced Natallia Kareiva to take the women’s 800m title in 2:04.40. One day earlier Kareiva took the 1500m crown in 4:13.64. The Long Jump sector featured another meeting between rivals Veronika Shutkova and Nastassia Mironchyk-Ivanova. Shutkova took the win with a 6.65m best, with Mironchyk-Ivanova reaching 6.53 for second. On Saturday Mironchyk -Ivanova took revenge, winning the Triple Jump with a 14.00m leap. The men’s title went to Dzmitry Dziatsuk, whose 16.94m leap was just two centimetres shy of his personal best. 16.94. 2004 Olympic 100m champion Yulia Nestsiarenka won the 60m in 7.35 after running 7.30, the fastest time of the weekend, in the prelimins.

Another good pointer to the strength of this meeting was that the Vladimir Kutz Arena was crowded with spectators and the demand for the “extra tickets” was extremely high. Lebedeva is Russia’s best of 2007…and aims for double in Beijing The competitions started with a ceremony. The public applauded loudly when the President of the All-Russian Athletic Federation and IAAF Council member Valentin Balakhnichev, and the director of the “Russian Winter” tournament, Mikhail Butov presented Tatyana Lebedeva with the prize for being the Best Russian Athlete of the Year of 2007. But it was to be a triple victory ceremony for Lededeva who also received a beautiful plate after also being voted number one in an internet poll of Russian athletics fans, and thirdly, she received a Silver Deer statuette which was handed to World and Olympic Long Jump champion by the Federation of Sport Journalists of Russia. “I’m really very much pleased with all the awards, commented Lebedeva. “My thanks to the journalistic community. This Silver Deer is the fifth in my home collection….As far as my plans are concerned I must tell you that I’m missing the indoor season. I have not targeted myself to perform at top level this winter. I have only one principal aim in mind – the Olympics in August. And in China I’ll do my utmost to perform in both – the Triple Jump and in the Long Jump. Mile record for Soboleva In the competition’s which followed, the most impressive mark was the national record in the women’s Mile which was set by Yelena Soboleva. The previous mark - 4:24.11 -was set 7 years ago by Yelena Zadorozhnaya. Soboleva’s victory today was 4:20.21, and though Soboleva said that Mile was not her favourite distance she now must be a serious contender for the World record as she is now the third fastest of all-time and was only 3 seconds short of the mark. Olga Komyagina was the runner-up with an encouraging 4:23.49 that was also better than the old record and Yelena Sidorchenkova was the third on the podium – 4:24.53. Silnov so near to 2.40m…he won't miss the record next time! In Men’s High Jump, Andrei Silnov tried to improve the national indoor record. He nearly cleared the bar at 2.40m but after a moment of a slight hesitation the bar fell down. But Silnov’s coach Yevgeniy Zagorulko calmed down his pupil saying that the main aim of the season was to win the Olympics and the records in this indoor season didn't matter that much. In any case Silnov won the competition with a leap of 2.36m, which equals the world season lead of fellow Russian Ivan Ukhov, and he looks extremely strong and well-prepared for 2008. World Indoor champion Yaroslav Rybakov was next best with 2.30m, while Jesse Williams of the USA reminded the public of the fine traditions of his country’s high jumping taking third place with 2.27m. 2005 World Champion Yuri Krimarenko of Ukraine was fourth also on 2.27m. Simagina, unstoppable indoors so far in 2008 Irina Simagina, the 2004 Olympic silver medallist, is the unconditional leader of the Russian indoor season in the Long Jump, and she won today’s competition with evident ease with a best of 6.92m. This is the second longest result of the world indoor season and of course the best one also belongs to Simagina (6.94m, Moscow 12 Jan). Tatyana Kotova with her sixth jump leaped 6.75m for second, while the guest from Latvia Ineta Radevica, 26, was the third on the podium with 6.64m. The European champion Lyudmila Kolchanova finished fourth (6.51). 2005 World champion Tianna Madison from the USA was a total disappointment with 6.16m that brought her only ninth and last place. “Simagina is jumping very well this January. But I would direct your attention to Darya Klishina,” commented Tatyana Lebedeva about the results. Klishina was born in 1991, and that’s why her jump at 6.44m looks rather encouraging. Yes, that mark only took sixth place today but still…. Volodymyr Zyuskov from Ukraine won the men’s Long Jump with 8.02m, with Ruslan Gataulin was second thanks to his last round leap of 8.00m. Victor Gushchinskiy was third with 7.80m. Borzakovskiy takes care of his friend Bungei The men’s 800m is not surprisingly always the attraction of any tournament in Russia where the Olympic champion Yuriy Borzakovskiy is running and as always his fortunes were at the top of public expectations. Despite the political problems and unrest in Kenya, World Indoor champion Wilfred Bungei still managed to reach Moscow but had to settle for runner’s-up spot today in 1:47.52, behind Borza’s impressive 1:46.78 victory. The Russian’s time was the fastest global indoor performance so far this year. Yuriy Koldin, also from Russia, got third place – 1:47.52. “I’m very much satisfied with this result,” commented Borzakovskiy. “And my special thanks to the public that supported me that much. It was the good and I’m happy to be faster than my permanent opponents. My special thanks also for my old friend Bungei. I know that there are serious problems in Kenya. I was so much worried about him, was he safe? How was his family is doing? But Wilfred still arrived in Moscow and due to him the level of the competitions was raised to the height required.” “It wasn't an easy win for me,” continued the Olympic champion. “I had to battle my way through the crowd. But on the last lap I did it and now I feel satisfied with my result.” “My thanks to Borzakovskiy,” replied Bungei. “I knew he was worried about me and my family. But we are safe and I was glad to come to Moscow and to compete with Yuriy.” Vaulting high too The best result of the world indoor season was reached by Yevgeniy Lukyanenko from Russia in the men's Pole Vault who took the win with a 5.85m performance. Maksym Mazuryk from Ukraine cleared the bar at 5.75m and Pavel Gerasimov (RUS) lost on count-back at the same height of 5.75. More flyers in the 60m dashes The struggle at the Women’s 60m was very tough and Svetlana Nabokina won in 7.16 seconds, which was another of today’s world season leads. Yevgeniya Polyakova, the previous season’s quickest (19 Jan – 7.17) was just a bit behind matching her 2008 best of 7.17, while Natalya Murinovitch remained third in 7.24. The men were not to be upstaged with Olusoji Fasuba from Nigeria dominating the 60m dash in 6.56 seconds, the best result of 2008, though his former Nigerian compatriot Samuel Francis now running for Qatar dashed to 6.54 in October last year in Macau at the Asian Indoor Games and so is the fastest of the current indoor season. Andrei Yepishin from Russia was the runner-up (6.67) and the Matic Osovnikar (SLO) finished third with a 6.73 run. “I won it this time,” said Fasuba at the press-conference. “Unfortunately last year the “Russian Winter” was the only tournament in which I lost in my series of the indoor competitions. Now I made no mistakes and the victory is mine!” In the 60m Hurdles, Yuliya Kondakova won the women’s event in 8.01 from Mariya Koroteeva (8.05), with Aleksandra Antonova third in 8.13, while Igor Peremota was the fastest in the men’s sprint Hurdles. His 7.59 left behind Russian compatriot Yevgeniy Borisov (7.66) and Stanislav Olijar from Latvia (7.73). 200m season revelation Anna Geflikh from the famous athletic school of Volgograd won the women’s 200m in 23.31 seconds, the fastest indoors in the world this year so far. She is one of the revelations of this season. Behind her Olga Zaitseva clocked 23.35 and Elena Bolsun finished third in 23.69. “I’m happy to clock the best result of the young season,” said Geflikh. “Things are going extremely well. May be I’ll be able to make the Olympic team and to go to China in August. But I understand clearly that I have to male a lot of progress.” Maksim Dyldyn is running fast this season. He was second to none at the men’s 400m, winning in 46.32. Denis Alekseev took second place (47.02) and Vladislav Frolov took third (47.03). 600m exploits The women's 600m is not a traditional distance to be run even indoors but the public seems to like it. Tatyana Firova won it clocking 1:25.23, which is third best time ever run. 1:25.23. Only Olga Kotlyarova (1:23.44) and Natalya Khrushchelyova (1:25.15) at this meet in 2004 have ever gone quicker. Today, Natalya Ignatova was the runner-up (1:26.53) and Tatyana Paliyenko was third (1:26.92). Nickolai Dolgopolov and Rostislav Orlov for the IAAF",0

While there were no standout performances the level of competition particularly in the jumps and throws was of top international level. The championships were being used as one of the main selection point for the national team which will travel to the 11th IAAF World Championships in Athletics, Osaka, Japan (25 Aug – 2 Sep). Aside the performances of Ukrainian athletes there was an Asian Shot Put record for Saudi Al-Hebshi. Palamar too good for rivals In the women’s High Jump, Vita Palamar jumped 1.95m on her first attempt, then stopped her competition there because her experienced rivals Viktoriya Styopina and Iryna Kovalenko had managed a best of only 1.92. Styopina took that bar on her first jump, and Kovalenco needed two attempts, and then both were unsuccessful at 1.95m. Palamar said she could jump higher, but decided to save her power for another occasion. In Oslo (15 June) at the start of the IAAF Golden League she was the third with 1.96. Asian Games winner beats Athens champion In the men's Shot Put, Athens Olympic gold medallist Yuriy Bilonoh came second with 20.20m, beaten by Sultan Mubarak Al-Hebshi from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The 22-year-old Asian Games champion won with a release of 20.61m which is an Asian record. The previous best was 20.54m set in 2005 by Kuwaiti Khalid Habash Al-Suwaidi. Bilonoh also took part in the Discus Throw where he was third with 60.10m. The winner was Stanislav Nesterovskiy 61.84, who was ahead of another Saudi, Sultan Al Daudi with 61.54m. In the homeland of the legendary Sergey Bubka the pole vaulters from Donetsk, Natalia Kusch 4.35m and Denys Yurchenko 5.65m won their respective competitions. The men’s Long Jump was highlighted by 2002 European champion Olexiy Lukashevych's 8.02m leap, while the women’s division was taken by Viktoriya Rybalko with 6.76m. The competition was close with Olexandra Stadnuk (Shishliuk) second by only 2cm and third place secured by Oxana Zubkovskaya (6.67). The women’s and men’s Triple Jumps were won by Olha Saladuha (14.41) and Mykola Savolaynen (17.02) respectively. In the women’s Discus Throw, Katerina Karsak reached 64.02m on her last attempt, and she hopes to increase this result soon in Debrecen during U-23 European Championship. The Hammer Throw was won by Nataliya Zolotuhina with 69.24m, while the men’s title was secured by Evgen Vinogradov’s 76.51m effort. The women’s 800m brought a brilliant effort from Julia Krevsun in 1:59.60, while in the women’s 3000m Steeplechase Natalya Tobias was first with 9:49.42. Evgenia Snigur, the recent winner of the European Cup title, took the women’s 100m Hurdles in 13.00 seconds. Snigur finished ahead of Athens Olympic silver medallist Olena Krasovska - 13.26. In the men’s 1500m, the World Indoor champion Ivan Heshko, finished with a solo run of 3:41.19. Dmitro Gluschenko took the men’s 100m in 10.39. Valery Borzov, double Olympic champion in 1972, currently President of the Ukrainian Federation, of course ran much quicker 40 years ago. Irina Shtangeeva was the victor in the women’s 100m with 11.50, also incomparable with the best times of another great Ukrainian, Zhanna Pintusevich-Block, the former World champion. In the overall team competition, the home team of the Donetsk region was the first, ahead of Kiev capital city team and the Odessa region team was third. In all athletes represented 27 teams from regions and cities of Ukraine took part. Serghei Donets for the IAAF",0

Kosgei, the world record-holder and Olympic silver medallist, will attempt to win her third successive London Marathon title. The Kenyan, who’ll be racing again just eight weeks after the Olympic marathon in Sapporo, will be challenged by a star-studded list of athletes including New York City Marathon champion Joyciline Jepkosgei and six other women who have run under 2:20. “It is a great feeling to be coming back, as London is one of my favourite marathons,” said Kosgei, whose world record 2:14:04 was set at the 2019 Chicago Marathon. “Last year’s win was very special, particularly given what the whole world was going through – it was fantastic just to have the London Marathon organised and even more so to be the winner. I hope to arrive again in very good shape and win for the third time.” Others in the elite women’s field include Ethiopia’s Roza Dereje, whose PB of 2:18:30 makes her the 10th-fastest woman of all time, and Birhane Dibaba, who won the Tokyo Marathon in 2018 and 2015. The other sub-2:20 women in the field are Valary Jemeli, Zeineba Yimer and Tigist Girma. Australia’s Sinead Diver, who has had two top 10 London Marathon finishes in the past two years and was 10th at the Tokyo Olympics, will also return. In the men’s race, Kitata – who pulled out of the Olympic marathon last weekend after suffering in the hot and humid conditions in Sapporo – will line up with the other men who joined him on the podium in 2020: Vincent Kipchumba and Sisay Lemma, another who struggled in the heat of the Olympic marathon. Valencia Marathon champion and 2020 world leader Evans Chebet and two-time Tokyo Marathon champion Birhanu Legese will also be on the start line, as will 2019 London Marathon podium finishers Mosinet Geremew and Mule Wasihun of Ethiopia. “I was disappointed to have to pull out of the Olympic Games marathon but I just did not adapt to the weather well,” said Kitata. “It was very cold in Ethiopia prior to leaving for Tokyo and when we got there the weather took its toll on my body and made my breathing very hard. But I’m healthy and looking forward to racing in the Virgin Money London Marathon again. I am preparing very well and my coach has me very ready to defend my title in London. “Winning last year was an unforgettable memory and it gave me huge excitement to bring back such a big victory to my country and to make my family and coaches proud. I have set my mind on how I can run fast and better than last year and I’m looking forward to seeing if I can repeat the victory and make history in the race.” The 2021 London Marathon returns to its traditional course from Blackheath to The Mall after last year’s elite-only race on a multiple closed-loop circuit around St James’s Park. Up to 50,000 runners are expected in the mass race. It will form part of a thrilling climax to the Abbott World Marathon Majors Series XIII, with all of major marathons – Berlin, London, Chicago, Boston, Tokyo and New York – taking place over a six-week period. The Series started at the 2019 Bank of America Chicago Marathon and will finish at the TCS New York City Marathon in November. In the women's standings Kosgei is a clear leader, sitting 25 points of compatriot and Virgin Money London Marathon rival Jepkosgei. While in the men's standings, Kitata is currently in second place with Legese in joint fourth place.

Both the men and women will contest 10km distance races in the Final. There is no doubting that the Mordovian capital of Saransk is currently the supreme centre of race walking, you just have to look at the three gold medal winners of the recent IAAF World Championships in Berlin for confirmation of that fact as each of the Russian athletes - Olga Kaniskina (women’s 20km), Valeriy Borchin (20km) and Sergey Kirdyapkin (50km) who won those world crowns – each picking up $60,000 from the IAAF in the process – are trained in the race walking centre in Saransk. Race walking is a national institution in this Russian Federation Republic with the head of the Mordovian state Nikolay Merkushin honouring the three race walking champions after Berlin by presenting them each with a Toyota car. Why is Saransk such a strong centre? World and Olympic 20km champion Olga Kaniskina explains: “Race walking is included in the school programme. Sport in general is extremely popular in our republic. But there is no doubt that most gifted children are selected for the race walking. And here the preparation system works as smoothly as Swiss timing. The best of prospects are naturally invited to the Center of our chief coach.” Following in the footsteps of the Berlin champions, a younger crop of Saransk walkers are now close to top class too. In 2009 they won gold medals at the World Youth Championships and at the World University Games as well as at the European Championships for under-23 and junior athletes. Saransk is set to open its heart to this year’s event just as it did when the final was last held in the city, two years ago, and we can expect enormous crowds of spectators on the streets to support the walkers on Saturday. But the one sadness is that it looks likely that the enthusiastic local fans will offer their support in the absence of their greatest idols, as it looks as though many of the top Russians won't compete in the final of the Race Walking Challenge. Berlin 50km gold medallist Sergei Kirdyapkin explained that they were so concentrated on peaking for their performances in Berlin that they had never planned to take part in the final of the challenge this year. But that gives a marvellous opportunity for the young and ambitious race walkers of Mordovia to try their hand or rather feet in the tournament alongside some of the best foreign athletes. >> UPDATE 19 Sep - Russian team Russian team will be composed of Stanislav Yemelyanov, Andrey Ruzavin, Aleksey Bartzaikin, Sergey Sergachev (men) and by Tatyana Mineyeva, Tatyana Shemyakina, Anna Lukyanova, Ludmyla Arkhipova and Vera Sokolova (women). All of them are training in the Republic's Olympic Centre in Saransk. << Participation in the challenge final is open to all athletes but only those that have participated in at least four challenge events during the year are eligible for the overall prize money. Ready to take the season long reward of $30,000 for the best woman is Norway’s Kjersti Platzer, the Beijing Olympic silver medallist who was disqualified in Berlin. Platzer won the overall challenge prize last year and in the standings published after Berlin holds the maximum number of points possible after winning four races in the series. Platzer raced in the Saransk final two years ago and didn’t finish but on that occasion the distance was 20km. The next two in the women's standings after Berlin are Vera Santos from Portugal and Italy’s Elisa Rigaudo. Eder Sanchez from Mexico, the bronze medallist from Berlin, leads the men’s challenge standings after the World Championships. He is closely followed by world silver medallist Wang Hao (China), Erik Tysse from Norway. Another Norwegian, Trond Nymark, is next followed by Mexican Jesus Sanchez and last year’s overall challenge winner Jared Tallent from Australia.

It marked the fourth time the Russian has surpassed speerdom’s standard of excellent, one previous instance being his win here in Dessau a year ago. Friday’s event served as the 30-year-old Makarov’s outdoor opener for 2003, and his first trip down the runway appeared to be one of reacquaintance with the event. The resulting 76.05 placed him only sixth in the field of nine, with Germany’s Christian Nicolay holding the lead with a PB 84.54. But Makarov then took charge in the third round with a 86.18, and the Sydney bronze medallist—and last season’s top-rated thrower—was on the way to his first of presumably many victories this season. Boris Henry of the host country also found the final stanza an appropriate time for his best of the day, and that 84.74 fling was sufficient to steal second from Nikolay, who took only two throws before retiring. Makarov had bypassed last week’s throwers’ meeting in Halle, but his absence was not overlooked by those who took part. Even the winner of this earlier meeting, three-time Olympic champion Jan Zelezný of the Czech Republic, reportedly predicted a 90-plus throw for Makarov in Dessau. On the women’s side, the evening saw a fine display of triple jumping by Algeria’s Baya Rahouli. With her easy 14.35 win here, the Sydney fifth-placer added one more bit of consistency to her early season which already has seen three performances between 14.30 and 14.40. Attempting to give Rahouli some competition was former World Junior Champion, and current European Junior Champion, Anastasia Ilyina of Russia. However, her 13.61 best, good for second place, was considerably below her usual standard and only minimally better than Katja Umlauft’s third-place 13.60. Not yet 24, Rahouli already has a long dossier of international experience. Following two months of training in California, she won the African Championships that year (repeating the title in 2000), having already drawn attention from observers at the earlier World Junior Championships by advancing to the final in both the triple jump and the hurdles. This year, after winter training in South Africa, she briefly moved indoors for a 7th place in Birmingham, and also logged outdoor competitions in the 100 Metres and Long Jump. With such a broad repertoire, it would seem that Rahouli’s days as a triple jumper may well be numbered, and her coach confirmed that she is planning a move to the heptathlon after the Athens Olympics. The men’s pole vault saw Alexander Averbukh playing a spoiler role. The European outdoor champion from Israeli breezed into town as a late entry filling an opening created by the withdrawal of Birmingham silver medallist Michael Stolle. He took one jump at 5.50, then cleared 5.67 while the others passed, before sitting out 5.72 to watch the others self-destruct. After two failures at 5.82, the former Russian decided to retire and enjoy the victory. Behind Averbukh, Birmingham bronze medallist Rens Blom of Holland enjoyed a rare advantage over the gold medallist in that competition, Germany’s Tim Lobinger, as both had 5.60 bests for the day. Due to the lengthy women’s triple jump competition, the men’s long jump was pushed far outside the time slot projected by the meeting management as the running had long since ended. But none of the roughly five thousand spectators was anxious to leave. Jumping on an outside runway with the main tribune only a breath away, the competitors staged an exciting audience-friendly back-and-forth match. Ghana’s Eugnetius Gaisah had watched his leadoff 8.05 stand up as the only leap past eight metres during the first five rounds. Then on his final attempt, Jamaica’s James Beckford—now based in Germany—took aim and came away with 8.06, just enough to pip the 19-year-old Gaisah. Stephan Louw of Namibia still had one attempt left at this point, and his final 8.02 just missed out on stealing the show. Three years ago, the Paul-Greifzu-Stadion in Dessau was the scene of one of German runner Wolfram Müller’s finest moments, when he broke the long-standing national junior 3000 Metres record of Olympian Hansjörg Kunze. Friday, Müller returned to one of his favorite ovals and showed great poise in his world-leading 7:45.05 win in the same event over Kenya’s Moses Kigen, who was second in 7:45.59. In the late stages of the race, the German was racing even with Kigen, as German indoor 3000 Metres champion Jan Fitschen was only a step behind. Müller decided to make his move with just over 300 metres remaining, but the Kenyan stayed with him. Coming off the final curve, Kigen moved in front slightly, but Müller showed he had saved something in reserve as he allowed the Kenyan only a brief moment in the lead. Striding into the finish with hands high, it was a moment of relief for the young German, who only three weeks ago had appeared off-form in a 1500 Metres race in the US nearing the end of a training period in Arizona. Fitschen finished third in 7:46.22, ahead of the Leverkusen pair of Mario Kröckert (7:49.67) and Michael May (7:50.44). Müller’s former training partner, René Herms, also was locked in a battle with a Kenyan runner in the men’s 800 Metres. Holding a lead coming off the final curve, Herms saw Henry Rotich moving up in an attempt to steal the race in the final 60 metres. The 20-year-old lanky runner needed every bit of reserve to avoid an ambush, and his 1:46.77 clocking was just barely enough to prevail over Rotich’s 1:46.80. The women’s 800 Metres was won in come-from-behind fashion in the last sixty metres by Anja Knippel (2:02.89), as Svetlana Sidunova of Russia (2:03.44) could not respond to the German’s final sprint. Similarly, Rasa Drazdauskaite of Lithuania sped past Germany’s Ivonne Teichmann in the final fifty metres to win the 1500 Metres, 4:15.17 to 4:15.97. Two sprinters posted double wins, although not in the same manner. Germany’s Mike Fenner won both runnings of the men’s 110 Metres Hurdles, with 13.53 in the first race and 13.54 in the second race, as countryman Jerome Crews was given the same time in the latter race. Britain’s Joice Maduaka was a winner in two different events, holding off Melanie Paschke to win the 100, 11.41 to 11.44, and later outduelling Birgit Rockmeier in the 200, 23.22 to 23.24. The men’s 200 Metres provided an opportunity to showcase the talents of European 400 Metres Champion Ingo Schultz in the shorter event. Running in one of the outer lanes—as requested by the 1.96m-tall Schultz—the German accelerated strongly from fourth place out of the curve to take an easy win in 21.04. Schultz will make his season debut in the 400 Metres next Wednesday in Cottbus. RESULTS (all GER except as noted) MEN 100 METRES: 1. Nkansah (GHA) 10.23; 2. Kosenkov 10.40; 3. Lewis (USA) 10.46; 4.

Even amidst such uninviting conditions, the Paul-Greifzu-Stadion was solidly packed with 3500 enthusiastic spectators who braved the elements along with the athletes. World javelin champion Sergey Makarov, the headliner from last year’s meeting with the eventual season-leading throw of 90.11m (the only ninety-metre effort of the year), chose Dessau to open his Olympic year campaign. But the warm evening of last June did not repeat itself tonight. The Russian put everything into his leadoff 82.28m - one of only three throws in the entire competition beginning with “8” - and walked away with the victory, ahead of 22-year-old Hardus Pienaar of South Africa (80.43m). Paris sixth-placer Christian Nicolay of Germany finished third with 79.52, as American Tom Pukstys - the only competitor with six legal throws - took fourth with 77.77m. Early in the evening, when the weather conditions were at a nadir, reigning European Pole Vault champion Tim Lobinger, along with German compatriot Björn Otto, decided the evening was not for them and declined to compete. Even Edmonton champion Dmitriy Markov of Australia apparently shared the feelings of the Germans, as he too packed his bags prematurely, but not until after a third-attempt clearance at an opening 5.50m which evolved into a minimal-effort winning jump. Brad Walker of the US took second at 5.40m, with Budapest silver medallist Adam Ptácek of the Czech Republic winning third on misses at 5.20m. With Sydney 800 metres champion Nils Schumann looking on from the VIP tribune, René Herms broke loose from a three-man pack entering the final straight in the men’s 800 metres to score a 1:47.53 win over Belgian Tom Omey (1:47.80) and Atlanta Olympic finalist Nico Motchebon of Germany (1:47.92). In the B-section, Roman Oravec of the Czech Republic sprinted strongly past Sylas Kimutai for a 1:48.71 victory as the Kenyan posted a 1:49.45 time. Irina Mistykevich momentarily put the bad weather conditions out of her mind and romped home in the women’s 800 metres with a season-opening 2:01.74. The tall Russian saw some of her stretch-run advantage disappear in the final metres, as Germany’s Monika Gradski finished with a strong kick, overhauling veteran Letitia Vriesde to finish second in 2:02.60. The Surinam runner, who will turn 40 later this year, clocked 2:02.99 for third. Mockenhaupt takes 3000m win A trio of runners in the women’s 3000 metres reached the bell lap almost simultaneously and staged a battle in the event’s final back stretch. With 250 metres remaining, Sabrina Mockenhaupt of Germany asserted her superiority and was unchallenged the rest of the way in her 8:56.03 victory. Oksana Belyakova of Russia out-legged Britain’s Natalie Harvey for second, 8:57.97 to 8:58.66. The victor in the men’s 3000m was Kenyan Richard Matelong in a PB 7:53.13, ahead of the 7:54.50 of Ridha El Amri of Tunisia. Yelena Oleynikova of Russia was easily the class of the women’s Triple Jump as her winning 14.12m was the evening’s only effort over fourteen metres. Silvia Otto of Germany claimed second with a last-attempt 13.48m which brought her past the 13.43 of Czech jumper Martina Darmovzalová, who ended in third. Beckford wins Long Jump With his training base now located in Germany, Jamaican long jumper James Beckford was cheered by the spectators as though he were a native son. Although the performances of the competitors were limited by the conditions, Beckford still earned repeated bursts of applause during his 7.74m win over Britain’s Darren Ritchie (7.70m) and Namibian Stefan Louw (7.65m). Yuliya Chizhenko had carved out a twelve-metre lead when the bell sounded in the women’s 1500 metres, and she began to slowly widen her margin on the final backstretch. Germany’s Kathleen Friedrich valiantly cut into the Russian’s lead as the two ran through the final curve, but Chizenko held on for the win, 4:08.82 to 4:10.44, as the rains began to resume near the end of the programme. Mulugeta Wondimu of Ethiopia harboured his resources wisely and was prepared for a final kick in the men’s 1500 metres as he easily won in 3:38.25 over Suleiman Simotwo of Kenya (3:41.83). Despite leading the women’s 200m by three metres coming into the final straight, Gabi Rockmeier fell victim to the final kick of Sina Schielke as the blonde beauty cut through the cold, foggy air for a 23.85-to-23.90 win over the more experienced veteran. European 400 metres champion Ingo Schultz tried to overcome a large deficit after the curve to steal a win in the men’s 200m, but the 19-year-old strength of Sebastian Ernst held off his lanky countryman, 20.88 to 21.00. South African Morne Nagel won the other section with 20.97. The A-section of the 100 metres Hurdles was won in 13.45 with a late push by Sydney fifth-placer Dionne Rose of Jamaica, ahead of the 13.52 of Rachel King of Great Britain. The B-race was easily captured by Joyce Bates of the US in 13.56. Adrian Woodley of Canada was the wire-to-wire victor in the men’s hurdle race with 13.79. Ed Gordon for the IAAF",0

Nazarova, World 400 metres Indoor champion, beat the time of 1:07.67, set by compatriot Olga Nazarova 16 years ago. “This record is very important for me because it gives me mental and moral strength to run 400m, says Nazarova. “I do not want to make any predictions for the future, but today’s 500m showed that I can reach a new level at 400m. Now I know how to make all the necessary work for the preparation for the Indoor World Championships.” Pechonkina says no to Budapest World 400m Hurdles record holder Yulya Pechonkina will miss indoor season for the first time in her career. “She’ll begin running with hurdles only in May,” says Pechonkina’s coach Valentin Maslakov. “She is healthy at the moment but we do not want to get the same problems like last year. It was a mistake to train so hard and to compete during the winter. Now she makes only special training to improve her speed and strength. She is going to compete in May, June and at the first part of July then she’ll start the final preparation for the Olympic Games.” Polnova clears 4.50m The winner of the World Athletics Final, pole vaulter Tatiana Polnova opened her winter season at the Moscow Christmas Cup with 4.50m. She said the competition was just a training test without any goal to achieve her best result. And it is quite clear that she is going to enter the team and fight for the gold in Budapest. “She could have jumped a World record last year at the University Games in South Korea,” said her husband and coach Sergey. “She jumped 4.70m at her first attempt but heavy rain stopped her.”",0

In a repeat of the podium from Moscow, Melnychenko will face Canadian silver medallist and Gotzis defending champion Brianne Theisen-Eaton, who had been previously announced, and The Netherlands’ Moscow 2013 bronze medallist Dafne Schippers. Melnychenko finished seventh in Gotzis last year, but rebounded to win the world title in Moscow before securing the IAAF Combined Events Challenge victory with her triumph in Talence. After a disappointing seventh-place finish at last month's IAAF World Indoor Championships, the Ukrainian will be looking to improve on her best-ever finish in Gotzis, having finished second in 2009. Although beaten by Melnychenko at last year's World Championships, Schippers finished comfortably ahead of her Ukrainian rival in Gotzis 12 months ago by placing third, a position she would go on to replicate in Moscow. The 21-year-old hasn't contested a combined events competition since the World Championships, but showed great form indoors earlier this year with an indoor long jump PB of 6.43m and reaching the 60m semi-finals at the World Indoor Championships.

Saneyev, who turned 60 years of age on 3 October 2005, was given the award on behalf of the IAAF by General Secretary Istvan Gyulai, who travelled to Tbilisi, Georgia, to make the presentation. The Georgian athlete of the century, Viktor Danilovich Saneyev began his Olympic career in 1968 as a 23-year-old, and took his place in the history books in the best possible style by winning the gold medal with a World record of 17.39m, at altitude in Mexico City, Mexico. That mark was his second World record of the day (17 October) as, in an epic battle with Italy’s Giuseppe Gentile (17.22) and Nelson Prudencio of Brazil (17.27), he had to twice leap-frog World record performances by his opponents to win gold! While the following year saw Saneyev clinch the first of two European titles (1969 and 1974), by the time of the next Olympics in 1972 he was neither European champion nor World record holder. However, he still overcame his continental title conqueror of 1969, East German Jörg Drehmel, to retain the Olympic laurels in Munich. Within a few months too he was also back as World record holder, with a leap of 17.44m which he produced late season in Sukhumi (17 October 1972). After regaining his European title in 1974, Saneyev also won his third consecutive Olympic title in 1976 in Montreal, Canada. Then in 1980 in Moscow, aged 34, he came desperately close to a fourth gold when finishing second with 17.24m, just eleven centimetres away from matching Al Oerter’s gold medal record achievement of four Olympic titles in one event (men’s Discus Throw). October 2005 was a very historic month for the men’s Triple Jump. The 15 October 2005 also marked the 30th anniversary of the 17.89m World record which Brazil’s Joao Carlos de Oliveira set in Mexico City. Oliveira, whose career in 1982 was tragically ended by a car accident which led to his right leg being amputated below the knee, was a two-time Olympic medallist himself, finishing behind Saneyev on both occasions. The Brazilian’s World record in 1975 marked the end of Saneyev’s last reign as the furthest triple jumper of all-time, as it surpassed the Georgian’s mark of 17.44m.

Bob Ramsak spoke to the young woman whose main ambition now is to be the first to clear 5 metres in competition. By any measure, it was the picture postcard perfect day. The inviting sun high above the Mediterranean was shining brightly down on an exquisite cloudless afternoon. A pair of anchored luxury cruise ships floated lazily in the distance. Just to the west, a trio of extravagant yachts were slowly making their way out to sea, with the Monte Carlo skyline and dramatic mountains rising and glistening behind them. Standing on the roof of Monte Carlo’s Grand Hotel, Yelena Isinbayeva was enjoying the vista of one of the world’s richest cities with a warm, dreamy smile while preparing for a television shoot with Pole Vault legend Sergey Bubka. It was a scene the 22-year-old Russian could never have imagined less than seven years ago. Then an aspiring gymnast in her native Volgograd, she was convinced by her coach that she had simply outgrown her first love. It was time to move on; he suggested she try the Pole Vault, an emerging event. Before beginning their fruitful relationship, she remembers her new coach, vault specialist Yevgeny Trofimov, asking her if she knew who Bubka was. Breaking into a wide grin and bubbling with laughter, she recalls, “I answered, ‘No, who is she?’ I didn’t know anything about the Pole Vault, about Bubka, or even how to do it.” Today, with a year-long spree of World records, an Olympic gold medal and IAAF Athlete of the Year honours behind her, she is often mentioned in the same breath as the men’s World record holder, her male counterpart who propelled his event into uncharted waters nearly two decades ago. Isinbayeva has of course, done the same, transforming even Bubka, once accused of not taking the women’s event seriously, into its number one fan. The event has grown up to become perhaps the most popular on the athletics program. And with it, so has Isinbayeva. Just a year ago when she burst onto the scene after her first World record at the Norwich Union Super Grand Prix in Gateshead, Isinbayeva was an aloof newcomer, and certainly more shy. Today, she’s more often than not characterized as “bubbly” and “jovial,” “excitable” and “exciting,” “athletic” and even “glamorous.” She doesn’t shy away from the cameras, and they don’t shy away from her. Beginning that day six years ago when she made her major career move, one that would catapult her to stardom, it didn’t take long to acquaint herself with Bubka’s technique, style and substance. A near-daily ritual of watching the Ukrainian on video took care of that. “We talked about technique, about Bubka, and we read a lot of books,” she recalls of her first months as a vaulter. Simply put, she says, “My coach taught me to jump like Bubka. From the beginning he would say, ‘you have to jump like Bubka.’” It eventually led to her first-ever successful clearance, a 2.80 effort. “It was good,” she says, laughing. “I was happy.” Based in a jumping school in Volgograd, where her training mates include World and Olympic champions Tatyana Lebedeva and Yelena Slesarenko - “We’re always together,” she says, “We’re friends of course” - she hasn’t stopped climbing since. Her first dose of international competition - along with her winning ways - came in 1999, just her second year in the event, with a win at the World Youth Championships. “It was my first great victory and I was so, so happy,” she recalls. “And it was a surprise for me and my coach. Then every year I had good progress.” One could argue that her progress has been much better than just “good.” She scaled four meters in 1998, and improved by 20 centimeters each of the next two years. By 2001, she was the World Junior record holder, with clearances of 4.47 indoors, and 4.46 outdoors. By the time she improved to 4.60 in 2002, she had already become an avid collector of medals. After a sixth place finish at the European Junior Championships in 1999 and a seventh place showing at the European Indoor Championships the following year, she won the World Junior title in 2000, the European Junior title in 2001, struck silver at the 2002 European Championships and 2003 World Indoor Championships, and took home the bronze at the 2003 World Championships in Paris. Her World record-setting binge began in Gateshead in July of that year, when she negotiated 4.82. In Budapest earlier this year, she took her first global title, raising the World record to 4.86 in the process. Solidly defeating both compatriot Svetlana Feofanova, the reigning World indoor and outdoor champion and former World record holder, and American Stacy Dragila, the reigning Olympic champion, Isinbayeva emerged from the Hungarian capital as the overwhelming favourite for Olympic gold. Fittingly, her strongest test would come in Athens, on the sporting world’s biggest stage, where she found herself in strangely unfamiliar territory: with her back up against a wall and on the verge of her own Greek tragedy. “When I started the competition, I felt good,” she says, recalling the Olympic final. “I cleared 4.40, 4.45, 4.65, everything was okay.” With the bar raised a few notches to 4.70, she switched to a stiffer pole at Trofimov’s request, but couldn’t penetrate the jumping plane. She missed badly. “I was scared,” she readily admits. “I ran to my coach and said, ‘What can I do? What can I do?’ And he said, ‘Don’t worry, just pass this height and jump at 4.75. I know you can do it, so don’t worry.’” Again she missed. “At that moment,” she said, pausing while recounting her terror, “It was a shock. Because I lost confidence. And I came to my coach again and said, ‘I’m scared, what do I have to do?’” But Trofimov was unruffled. “Don’t worry,” he said. “Just jump like you do in training. You can jump five meters, 5.10. It’s no problem for you. Just do what I tell you.” It was a brief, succinct, but highly assuring pep talk that reinstilled that urgently-needed confidence. Ignoring best she could the cameras projecting her stern and composed look of determination to the world, she closed her eyes to visualize a successful clearance. After a series of quick, short breaths, she chanted her secret pre-jump mantra, and charged down the runway to duplicate the jump she envisioned just a minute before. She said she was on the verge of tears as she fell to the pit, almost expecting the bar to fall with her. But it didn’t. “I felt then that I had won,” she recalls. When Feofanova bowed out with three successive misses of her own at 4.80, 4.85 and 4.90, the title of Olympic champion was officially hers. But the night was far from over. “When Svetlana didn’t make her jumps, I said to myself, ‘You’re Olympic champion! Can you believe it?’ But then I said, ‘No, it’s not over. I want to jump the World record. Let’s go!’’ Ever the crowd pleaser, Isinbayeva requested that the bar be raised to 4.91. With the pressure gone, she towered over the cross bar with ease on her first attempt. It was the first World record set in the Olympics since Michael Johnson’s legendary 200 metre dash in 1996. “That record was for the crowd,” she says. “Because they waited and waited for the World record. They wanted to see it and it was a present for all of them, and for my coach, my parents, my friends, for all the people who believed in me and helped me prepare for the Olympic Games.” While she’s improved the World record nine times already - most recently at the Van Damme Memorial in Brussels for her eighth global standard of 2004 - she insists that there’s nothing robotic or the least bit effortless about the process. At the season-capping World Athletics Final, where a successful record attempt was worth a whopping $100,000, she missed three attempts at 4.93, displaying perfectly that World records don’t simply fall from the sky. “Some people say, ‘Oh it’s easy to jump for World records. We saw you, you always smile, you feel good, you jump very easy.’ But no, it’s very difficult for me. Every competition I need good concentration and I need the crowd to help me. And I need to feel their energy. When the crowd’s clapping and cheering, that energy comes into me.” Here too she duplicates Bubka as well, choosing to add to the World record one centimetre at a time. While the process adds significantly to her bank accounts as well, she insists that record bonuses are not the driving force for her. “It’s not just about the money,” she says. “The crowd wants to see records, and they support me, so it’s for them. If I go up by one centimetre, it means that people keep talking about me, about the Pole Vault and about athletics. This way you also have some suspense and it’s more exciting for the audience.” Her uncanny ability to perform for her audience when it matters most, first this year at the World Indoor Championships and again in Athens, has shielded her with an aura of invincibility. But she was beaten on two occasions this season - both times, it took a World record by Feofanova to do it - and refuses to allow her competitive confidence to stray towards a willful arrogance. To the contrary, she has nothing but respect for her fellow competitors, most of all Feofanova, whom she supplanted as the world’s premiere vaulter. “When Svetlana jumped 4.88 in Iraklio, Greece, I saw it and I felt bad,” she says. “But I know that she and others are very good competitors. In the Olympics, when I jumped 4.80, I was winning, but I could not rest because I knew that Svetlana can clear 4.85 and 4.90. Because she’s very strong. And psychologically she’s very strong. It helps me to jump higher. I never can rest. They motivate me to never stop, to never give up.” Just 22, she’s much to young to rest on her laurels. In 2005, her guiding light will be Helsinki as she goes for the one major title missing from her growing collection. She hopes to crown that achievement with the first-ever five metre clearance. “I know I can jump five metres,” she says, apparently speaking from experience. “My personal best is five metres, from a training session in June.” After that leap, she says, that magic barrier is but a number whose days are definitely numbered. “When I jumped it, I thought, ‘Okay, it’s not as high as I thought.’ I had a lot of mistakes. But of course I want to be the first to jump it in competition. It’s my dream to be the first to jump five metres. It’s coming soon.” Her desire to be the first five-metre woman is driven by more than mere dreams. She says she’ll graduate to longer 4.60 poles from her current 4.45 versions next season, utilize a higher grip, and work specifically on her speed, an aspect she considers her main weakness. “I think I have the best technique in women’s Pole Vault,” she says, “but I know my speed is not so good. I have to work on my speed. But it’s getting better now.” With a footnote that might sound ominous to her competitors, she adds, “That will help me jump not only higher, but better.” Published in IAAF Magazine Issue 4 - 2004",0

He had an elegant style and his main strength was his balance. He made his debut in athletics during the 1940s almost by accident. He thought that practising track and field would help him keep his elegant physique. He never tried to conceal this fact. And right up to his very last days he managed to maintain his good shape. Da Silva died on 12 January 2001, not long after another legend of athletics, Emil Zatopek, with whom he was good friends for almost 50 years. He used to recall how he met Zatopek in Helsinki during the Olympic Games in 1952 when he won his first Olympic gold and Zatopek became the Olympic champion in the 5000m, 10,000m and marathon. Another fact that he liked to remember was when, back in 1987, together with other stars of the world of athletics, he was honoured by the IAAF in Rome. The IAAF was celebrating its 75th anniversary and produced a video and a book (100 Golden Moments) featuring 100 performances of 100 athletes who had contributed to the history of the sport. And one of Da Silva’s jumps in Helsinki, his world and Olympic record of 16.22m, was one of the performances chosen for the book. At the climax of his career, Da Silva faced the representatives of the Soviet school of triple jump whose star was Leonid Tcherbakov, the Olympic silver medallist in Helsinki. The two athletes met again 45 years later in Manaus where Da Silva had been invited for a ceremony of the CBAt and Tcherbakov was technical advisor at the High Level Training Centre (CETAN) of the Olympic city of Manaus. Da Silva liked to underline how athletics had introduced him to celebrity. ""It was thanks to this sport that I had so many opportunities,"" he said. After he stopped competing in 1960, he promoted many projects related to athletics. Until 2000, he accepted, convinced by the President of CBAt Roberto Gesto de Melo, to support the Coca-Cola project, which in partnership with the Government of the Amazons, would be the official sponsor of CETAN and the Olympic City of Manaus. He couldn’t go to Manaus on 8 January where he was to be elected in the CBAt Athletes' Commission together with Joaquim Cruz, Nelson Prudencio and Robson Caetano da Silva. He had been hospitalised in Sao Paulo. ""Adhemar told us through his cellular phone, that he couldn’t attend the meeting in Manaus,"" said Gesta de Melo during the General Assembly. ""Athletics and the sport in Brazil lost its best athlete,"" said Gesta de Melo after learning of Da Silva’s death. ""It is more than a big loss. Adhemar was still to achieve great things for Brazil through his knowledge, his experience and his will to help which never abandoned him."" In addition to being an athlete and promoter of great projects linked to the sport, Da Silva was also a journalist, a lawyer and worked in public relations. Also an artist, Da Silva was cultural advisor at the embassy of Brazil in Nigeria, the African country where his family originated. He was a columnist in the newspaper ""Ultima Hora"" which in the 1950s and 1960s was an example of Brazilian development. In the 1950s he acted in the famous movie ""Orfeu Negro"" (The Black Orpheus) which won the Palme d’Or in the International Festival of Cannes and an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. At the end of 2000, the Ministry of Sports and Tourism chose him as a member of the National Athletes Commission together with other great names of national sports. As a sportsman, Da Silva played in the Sao Paulo Football club and the Vasco de Gama Club. He represented Brazil at the Olympic Games in London 1948, in Helsinki 1952, in Melbourne 1956 and Rome 1960. He won gold in Helsinki and Melbourne. Da Silva also won the Pan American Games three times in Buenos Aires 1951, in Mexico City 1955 and in Chicago 1959. Born on 29 September 1927 in Sao Paulo, Da Silva reached 15.00m in 1948. In 1949 he twice jumped 15.51m and on 3 December 1950, on the track of the Tiete Club in Sao Paulo, he leapt 16.00m, equalling the world record which had stood since 1936 to Japan’s Naoto Tajima. On 30 September 1951 in Rio de Janeiro he bettered the world record to 16.01m. On 23 July 1952 during the final of the Olympic Games in Helsinki he improved his own world record twice: he first landed at 16.12m and then 16.22m. Finally, on 16 March 1955 during the Pan American Games of Mexico City, he jumped 16.56m. Benedito Turco for the IAAF",0

Hamza had clocked a 3:41 while coming second in the Asian Indoors and coaches were expecting him to dip under 3:38 outdoors, but the Kerala athlete could clock only 3:44.09 behind the winner's 3:43.04. Sinimole Paulose, back from a successful Asian Indoors campaign where she took two gold medals in the 800m and 1500m, could also not come up to expectations as she timed 4:16.53 for the metric mile. The Olympic standard is 4:08.00. National Record Rana's record of 4:10:42 was the talking point of the day when more famous names than the little-known Army walker from Nepal fared poorly. It was expected to be a battle between Babubhai Panocha, the 20km national record holder, and P. S. Jalan, but both the favourites lagged during the final five laps allowing Rana to forge ahead. Panocha, who is being tipped to make the Olympic qualification grade, collapsed in the end and needed medical assistance. Despite being exhausted Panocha, who came fourth, was also under the previous national record of 4:16:22 set by Gurdev Singh in Hyderabad in 2005. Panocha timed 4:15:50, while Jalan, in second place had 4:13:40 and Harminder Singh, the bronze winner, 4:14:41. The Indian federation is likely to enter its top walkers in the IAAF World Race Walking Cup to be held in Russia in May. Harwant Kaur and Seema Antil came up with their best performances in nearly two years in the women’s Discus Throw though both were below the Olympic standard. Harwant took the gold with 58.54m while Seema came up with 57.89m after having threatened to breach the 61-metre mark with a huge practice heave. Neelam Jaswant Singh managed just one legal throw, 47.63 that was only good enough for the fourth place. The women's 400m runners, led by Chitra Soman returned encouraging timings with the top three coming under 54 seconds. The Indian team is looking forward to its Olympic qualification in the 4x400m relay. Last time in Athens India had made the final. Renjith Maheswary, struggling still to get into the form that saw him cross 17 metres last season, only registered jumped 15.83 metres in Triple Jump to take the silver behind Amarjeet Singh who had a 16.30.

The circuit, situated at the Ayui Hotel Complex, near the Salto Grande Dam on the Uruguay River, was a tough 2km loop made even more challenging by rainstorms on morning of the races. Brazilian athletes dominated the 12km senior men's race as 23-year-old Gilmar Silvestre Lopes took his first continental title, winning by three seconds from his compatriot Valério de Souza Fabiano; 11 seconds further back was the 2011 Pan American Games 1500m champion Leandro Prates Oliveira. Lopes had also won the Brazilian title in Rio Claro on 3 February. There was also a first South American title for the 38 year-old Cruz Nonata da Silva, who won the 8km female race in 30:25. Da Silva won comfortably and beat Argentina’s Nadia Rodriguez by 25 seconds. Brazil's Thiago Andre and Jessica Soares won the junior races. Andre triumphed over 8km event in 27:09, winning by an emphatic 18 seconds, while Soares took the 6km race in 23:26. All the individual winners, and the winning teams of senior and junior races, are expected to represent South American interests at the 2013 IAAF World Cross Country Championships in Bydgoszcz, Poland, on 24 March. In the youth catagories, Brazil's Weverton Fedelis won the boy's gold medal over 4km in 13:26 while Uruguay's Aldana Sabatel broke Brazil's stranglehold on the individual titles when she won the girls’ gold medal over 3km in 11:20. Athletes from seven nations - Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay - competed at the 2013 South American Cross Country Championships.

After receiving the Ordem do Merito Desportivo medal, he was honoured by local authorities in Brasilia, where his career began. The Brazilian's New York victory had come as a shock to many, but not to the 29-year-old athlete himself, who had known since he was 15 that he was a good runner, and believed since the Paris marathon two years ago that he could excel at the event on the world stage. He has set his sights on doing so again at the 2008 Olympic Marathon in Beijing, but is chasing targets on the track at the 2007 Pan-American Games in the mean time. His decision to focus on track speed in 2006 certainly paid off when it earned him Brazilian national records over 5000m and 10,000m, and the confidence to run aggressively in New York. No surprise, only confidence Over and over again, after he pulled away in mile 19 and won in New York ahead of the likes of World record holder Paul Tergat, Gomes dos Santos was asked by reporters if he was surprised by the victory; and over and over again, he exuded a quiet confidence. ""I wasn't surprised,"" he said. ""To win a marathon, you have to have courage. Today, I had the courage to go to the front."" He had kept looking back after pulling away; was he surprised no-one was close behind him? ""I was looking behind to make sure I kept the same distance,"" he replied. His lead had narrowed towards the end; had that made him nervous? ""Not really. I wanted to control my pace to make sure I have something left for the end."" Only when he was asked if he thought his opponents had been surprised by his win did a smile crack his youthful face. ""In the marathon, there's no joking around,"" he said. ""There were some top runners there, but I was one of them."" Training with Vanderlei de Lima Gomes dos Santos, the son of a construction worker in Ceilandia, near Brasilia, discovered his talent for running when he took up the sport at 15, following his 17-year-old brother. ""I was part of a group, and I was one of the best in the group even though I was younger,"" he said. He won the 3000m at a regional youth competition in Brasilia, and was recruited by top Brazilian club Atletismo BM&F (sponsored by the Brazilian mercantile and futures exchange), which took him to Sao Paolo. He is the only one in his family to pursue the sport, but he married a runner, Juliana Paula de Azevedo, who is a BM&F club member and a 2002 World Junior Championships medallist as well as the national 800m and 1500m champion. Athens Olympic marathon bronze medallist Vanderlei de Lima is a fellow club member, and the two men occasionally train together. 2:08 PB in Chicago Gomes dos Santos, who studied physical education in college and won the 1997 and 1999 World University Games half marathons, ran his first marathon in Paris in 2004. ""He followed the pace and went with the pace-makers,"" said his agent, Luis Felipe Posso. Gomes dos Santos faltered in the end but secured a 2:12:22 sixth-place finish that assured him he had real promise in the event. He ran a 2:06:48 personal best finishing sixth in Chicago that autumn, and was 10th in the 2005 World Championships marathon. Track speed the key to success On the eve of the 2006 New Year, Gomes dos Santos reclaimed the title of the Sao Silvestre 15K road race he had won before, beating Robert Kipkoech Cheruiyot, who went on to win the 2006 Boston and Chicago marathons. ""He decided not to run a spring race and concentrate on getting speed on the track,"" said Posso of Gomes dos Santos, who won the Ibero-American Championships 5000m in May, and clocked back-to-back Brazilian national records in the Netherlands: 27:48.49 over 10,000m in Neerpelt on 5 June, and 13:19.43 for 5000m in Kassel three days later. A repeat national track champion, he won the 2006 10,000m title in September. He increased his training mileage before New York, and going into the race, he told Posso his national track records had boosted his confidence. He referred to Brazilian marathoner Ronaldo da Costa's having broken the World marathon record when he ran 2:06:05 in 1998, and de Lima's having almost won the 2004 Olympic marathon. ""My times are better than both of them on the track,"" Gomes dos Santos pointed out. The confidence he drew from that and his defeat of Cheruiyot enabled him to pull away from a star-studded field and leave former champions Tergat and Hendrick Ramaala, and Olympic champion Stefano Baldini, and Athens 2004 runner-up Meb Keflezighi in his wake when he crossed the line in 2:09:58. Taking on the region in 2007, the world in 2008 Gomes dos Santos plans to take on the world's best marathoners at the Olympics in 2008 but his immediate goals are in shorter events. ""Next year, I might run some cross country because I think it might help me prepare,"" he said. A 2003 Pan American Games double medallist (with 10,000m silver and 5000m bronze), he will likely pursue gold in the same events at the July 2007 edition in Brazil, where his Sao Silvestre road race victories had made him a star long before he returned in triumph last week from New York. ""There was a big reception at the airport,"" said Posso on Monday. ""He got very emotional."" Gomes dos Santos will first take a break, Posso added, and whether he will defend his Sao Silvestre title and exactly what 2007 races he will run will be decided in December. Wherever he runs from now on, the world will take notice of the first ever South American champion of the New York Marathon. ""Most of the runners didn't know me,"" said Gomes dos Santos the day after his New York victory, referring to his competitors there. ""But I'm sure now they know me. And I know I can run with them."" Sabrina Yohannes for the IAAF",0

Greetings from São José do Rio Preto. “These weeks since my last diary entry have been very rich. Athletics has taken me to Japan, the United States and a small trip around Brazil, competing in Belem and Uberlandia. “It’s always a great feeling to go around the world representing my country. I would have never imagined in my youth that I would be able to travel so far. Life is unpredictable and my humble advice to those younger than me is to never give up on your dreams. “As you all know, I begun the season trying to achieve the qualifying standard for the IAAF World Championships in Moscow this summer. My national federation her in Brazil asked for an 8.10m performance, which is the IAAF B-standard; the IAAF A-standard is 8.25m. “So, after a few competitions in Brazil in March and April where I emerged with a best 8.00m (and 8.08m wind-aided), I went to Japan and I won at the Tokyo Golden Grand Prix with a 7.99m performance on 5 May. “I was pleased, and the next weekend I was back home in Brazil in Belem where in hot and humid conditions I managed 7.91m for another first place. “The Uberlandia and Sao Paulo meets, where I did 8.14m on 16 May and then 8.18m on 19 May, followed. I was able to continue my winning streak and I assured my participation in Moscow. “Believe it or not, these will be my first outdoor World Championships. I’m really happy to be in the Moscow team and I will do everything I can to get to Russia in the best shape of my life. “After a small break, my travels took me to North America. The Prefontaine Classic, in Eugene on 31 May was next. Great track, great atmosphere, great tradition; and a great event. I was happy to perform well, in spite of placing second. “Russia’s Aleksandr Menkov won with 8.39m, the best mark in the world in 2013. He is a very impressive kid. We get along well. I like his speed and explosiveness. I think that we put on a great show there. I jumped 8.14m in round three and a windy 8.22m in round five. I was leading but Aleksandr improved from 8.11m to 8.39m. Nice stuff. “The Olympic champion, Greg Rutherford from Great Britain, made it more dramatic with his 8.22m from round six. “My idol, Panama’s Irving Saladino, who has trained in Sao Paulo and loves Brazil, was also in Eugene. He was fifth with 7.91m but I’m confident that he will get back to the form that brought him to glory in the 2007 World Championships and 2008 Olympic Games. “The quick turnaround sent me back to Sao Paulo, which was a 15 hour trip from Oregon via Chicago. “The national club competition in Sao Paulo, which serves as the National Championships, the Troféu Brasil, was next. Qualifying went well with 7.86m on 6 June, and the final went even better! A personal best of 8.31m was the result. My series was: 8.05, 8.31, 8.18 and 8.15. I was so pleased that I passed the final two jumps. I couldn’t ask for more, as I write this diary I’m third in the 2013 world lists. ""I even broke the record of the Troféu, which was 8.29m by Douglas de Souza had had stood since 1996. Sadly, Douglas died in a car accident in 1998 but he still holds the Brazilian record with 8.40m from 1995, but I hope to beat it soon. “The São Paulo meet was very good in other events. Carlos Eduardo Chinin broke the South American Decathlon record with 8393 points. South American record holder Ana Cláudia Lemos Silva ran 11.07 at 100m and 22.85 at 200, where Franciela Krasucki beat her with a personal best of 22.76; and Fabiana Murer, our World champion two years ago, vaulted to a nice 4.73m season’s best. “My girlfriend, Giovana Cavaleti, also did well. She was third in the Heptathlon with a season’s best of 5022 points, just 160 points short of her PB. “Finally, my beloved football team, Corinthians, won the Paulista Championship over Santos. It was a nice ‘compensation’ after an upsetting elimination in Copa Libertadores. “On that note I say goodbye to you. Soon we will have more news. Hopefully it will be good news. “Abraços, meus amigos; which means ‘Hugs, my friends’ in English. Mauro Vinicius (Duda)”",0

If we go back in time, some historians mention the late José Romão Andrade da Silva, a great Steeplechaser from the 1970’s, as the man who modified the way people trained middle and long distance events in Brazil. However, it was Luiz Antônio dos Santos who carried the flag most prominently in the early 90’s, when he took the bronze medal in the Marathon at the 1995 IAAF World Championships in Gothenburg, Sweden. In 1998 in Berlin, Brazilian Ronaldo da Costa produced the world's fastest ever time, beating the 10 year-old mark set by Ethiopian Belayneh Dinsamo (2:06:50), while running, then, an astonishing time of 2:06:05. A marathon runner by chance Still, this story is not about them, but about Vanderlei Cordeiro de Lima, a 35 year-old man, whose courage shook the world during the recent Athens Olympic Games when he was attacked by a spectator while leading the men's Marathon. Despite missing out on the gold medal and finishing in third position, the episode has highlighted de Lima as an athlete and given him plenty of media attention. Yet, there’s a lot more in de Lima's life story that’s worth knowing and needs to be recognised. A personal story and a career full of hard work and sacrifices which at the end have paid off greatly. Vanderlei, the best South American male athlete of 2004 was born in Cruzeiro do Oeste, in the State of Paraná and has 6 siblings (2 brothers and 4 sisters). His mother, Aurora is still alive, but his father, José, passed away of few years ago. “I was raised in Tapira, also in Paraná, and I used to help my family doing little jobs on farms. My first contact with the sport was through football, and my dream was to play for a professional team. I used to be a right back defender."" ""I was introduced to athletics at the age of 14. A Physical Education teacher saw some potential in me, and my first victory was at a road race in the interior of Paraná.” The coaching inspiration Ricardo D’Angelo, one of the most respected coaches in Brazil has had a long time relationship with Vanderlei, and has been a key in his athletics success. “I became a coach in 1980 after a short career as an athlete where I fell in love with the sport. The person who was a great influence on me was Sebastião Corrêa, who coached José Romão Andrade da Silva, and then became President of the Paulista Federation.” “My relationship with Vanderlei started in 1992, and right now I also coach other athletes such as Elias Bastos, Eduardo do Nascimento, Adriano Bastos, Celso Ficagna, Vinícius Lopes, Gilson Vieira and João Stingelin.” ‘Rabbit’ becomes winner and an Olympian Vanderlei became a Marathon runner by accident, actually, a couple of years after his relationship with D’Angelo started. “In the autumn of 1994, I took part of the Reims Marathon, where I was supposed to be a rabbit up to the 21Km point. In the middle of the race I felt so comfortable that I decided to keep going. First to the 30Km mark, and then all the way to the end of the race, which I actually won in 2:11:06.” Tokyo win In 1996, de Lima qualified for his first Olympic team, for the Atlanta Games, after running a South American record to win the Tokyo Marathon (2:08:38). “Atlanta was definitely an experience. It was my first Olympic Games and I had trouble with my shoes during the race.” The result was a 47th place with a 2:21:01 time, for the tough circuit of the hilly capital of the State of Georgia. In the summer of 1997, Vanderlei got his first taste of the Olympic course at the Athens World Championships. In the race won by Spain’s Abel Antón in 2:13:36, the Brazilian finished in 23rd place with a time of 2:21:48. 1998 was a year of success. In taking second place in Tokyo in 2:08:31 he improved his own Area record. That performance was followed in the fall with a good 5th place in the New York City Marathon (2:10:42). Pan-Am champion…and again 1999 brought his first major championship triumph with the victory at the Pan American Games in Winnipeg. Notable too was a third place showing in the Fukuoka at in December of the year in another sub 2:09 time (2:08:40). With that in hand Vanderlei prepared for the Sydney Olympic Games hoping to better his Atlanta performance, and in the April of 2000 took third place this time in Rotterdam in 2:08:34. However, some physical problems, such as an inflamed foot, conspired against his Olympic hopes in Australia, and Vanderlei finished trotting in the 75th place with a 2:37:08 time that says it all. It was his second Olympic disappointment “I had to stop 3 times and walk. Nobody knows what I had to go through to finish there. I got injured while preparing in Mexico, and I was never able to recover fully.” 2001 took him to Japan again but this time to race in Oita in February where he finished in a steady 2:10:02, and in 2002 he took a win in São Paulo in 2:11:19. Significantly, for the man who would have to battle future hardships on the Olympic course in Athens, the following year saw de Lima run a gritty race to take a second Pan-American Games gold medal. The hot and humid conditions in Santo Domingo in 2003 tested de Lima's mental and physical strength, and de Lima saw his second victory at the Pan American Games as a miracle. “I don’t know how I managed to finish that race. The race was the toughest of my life. I don’t remember ever having that many thoughts of abandoning a race. I believe all those who were able to finish were heroes. I remember having no strength to complete the final lap at the track, and people told me I passed-out for a few minutes at the end. That race was dedicated to my father’s memory.” The plan for Athens After recovering from Santo Domingo, D’Angelo and Vanderlei traced the plan for Athens. “We have a great relationship, and when I started running, he was starting his coaching career. We both learned a lot together”. The preparation for the 2004 Olympic Games included a period of high altitude training in Paipa, Colombia, a city known for its thermal waters, that has become a paradise for distance athletes. There, encouraged by the best athletes of the region, Herder Vázquez and Jacinto López, de Lima started dreaming about a victory over the pre-race Olympic favourite, Paul Tergat, the World record holder. López who beat de Lima at the Bogotá Half Marathon on 1 August, 4 weeks before the Athens race, always believed that felt the future Olympic bronze medallist was in great condition. He clocked 1:15:18, while finishing 5th in Bogotá. “I believed he could be able to finish in the top five places, and perhaps give Paipa its first Olympic medal. That’s how proud we are of him, and that’s how close to him we feel”, said López. A letter of faith Ricardo D’Angelo was present in Athens, but didn’t have access to many key locations, since he wasn’t one of Brazil’s official coaches. Yet, through another coach, João Paulo da Cunha, D’Angelo managed to give Vanderlei a letter to read prior to the race. The most important points of the letter symbolised the relationship between athlete and coach, and also reinforced some tactical plans. “Remember the tough hill at 30Km. If you are feeling well, take your risks, because if you don’t risk, you will never win. My confidence in you is immense, so let’s fight for the goal we have been dreaming for a long time. No matter what happens in the end, remember that you will always have my trust and friendship, and also remember that I admire you for the wonderful person you are. So, good luck, and let’s have a beer together after the race,” concluded the text of D’Angelo’s message. The athlete's response “I thought a lot about the letter”, said de Lima. “Especially once I started feeling well in the race, and once I saw Tergat wasn’t having a good day. Perhaps some athletes felt that I wasn’t going to lead for a long time, but that didn’t bother me at all. The letter also helped me once I was attacked, because I knew I had to continue no matter what. I had lots of people behind me, and I wasn’t going to let them down.” “The attack was a surprise for me. I couldn’t defend myself because I was concentrating on my race. I don’t know what would have happened if the Greek man who helped me so quickly (Polyvios Kossivas) hadn’t reacted the way he did. I give him a lot of credit for his courage.” “Perhaps things could have been different, because I started to have problems after that, I couldn't concentrate. It was very difficult for me to finish. With my sense of Olympic spirit I showed my determination and won a medal”. “Still, I am very proud of myself, because this is the result of very hard work. I was well trained and I was expecting to win a medal. I have achieved my goal, no matter what happened, and I am happy to be on the medal podium with these athletes.” Still hungry for medals That spirit has made Vanderlei a winner for many athletics fans worldwide, and later on made him the recipient of the Baron Pierre de Coubertin Award, given by the IOC. Now, those fans will see de Lima three times next year. The altitude of Paipa will have him preparing for another marathon to be contested in the first part of the year. Then, the Helsinki World Championships will follow, and his racing calendar includes another marathon in the autumn of 2005. “I’m still hungry.

The 21st edition of the “Troféu”, the National Club’s Championship, which also serves as the Brazilian National Championships, took place in São Paulo for the first time since 1991. For this purpose, the track of the “Estádio Ícaro de Castro Mello”, located at the Ibirapuera Park, was rebuilt, to become the first track in South America certified as “Class 1” by the IAAF. The competition started on Thursday and ended on Sunday. Maggi, coming from a solid competitive trip in Europe only took part in the Long Jump on Sunday, were she leaped to 6.75 meters twice, in the 3rd (-0.1) and 6th (1.4) rounds. Keila da Silva Costa, bronze medallist at the past World Junior Championships in Kingston in Triple Jump, was second with a personal best of 6.52m. It was also a weekend for the ’veterans’ who produced some remarkable results. Édson Luciano Ribeiro (30 years old) took the title in the 100 metres with 10.20, therefore qualifying to the World Championships. André Domingos da Silva (30 years old) won the 200 metres in 20.56, and achieved the qualification standard to compete in the Pan American Games. Osmar Barbosa dos Santos (34 years-old) won the 800 metres in 1:45.94 (1:45.35 in heats) and also qualified for the Pan-Am Games and the World Championships. Eronilde Nunes de Araújo (32 years old) was the winner of the 400m Hurdles for his 13th time in the history of the event with a time of 49.40, 20/100 of second shy of the qualifying mark for the Pan-Am Games. “I needed to come back with a strong mark like this. Now, I’ll try to qualify for the Pan-Am Games, but if I don’t make it, I won’t have any reasons to complaint. I’ve done a lot, and I still believe I can do more”. De Araújo has won 3 Pan American titles (91, 95, 99), and is one of the two Brazilian athletes to do so. The other one, the late Adhemar Ferreira da Silva in the Triple Jump. In the High Jump, Jessé Farias de Lima and Fabrício de Azevedo Romero cleared both 2.27m, equaling the National Record set last year by de Lima. Jadel Gregório won the Triple Jump with 17.05m (1.0), ahead of another veteran, 33 year-old Anísio Silva (17.00/4.1). Luiz Fernando da Silva took the title in the Javelin with 77.16m. In second place finished Júlio César de Oliveira (b. 4.2.86) with 72.52, a new national junior record. De Oliveira is one of Brazil’s main hopes for the upcoming World Youth Championships, and recently won the South American Junior title in Guayaquil. Brazil is always very strong in the relays, and they both produced good performances. Both were won by teams of Unoeste/Brasil Telecom. The 4x100 (Édson Ribeiro, André da Silva, Claudinei da Silva and Fábio da Silva) was won in a championship record of 38.77, and the 4x400 (Anderson J. da Silva, Eronilde de Araújo, João Carlos dos Santos and Claudinei da Silva) taken in 3:05.45. In the 20,000m Walk, Sérgio Galdino won his 11th title at the event, by clocking 1:23:51.9. On the women’s side, Geisa Coutinho also had a remarkable victory in the 400 metres, with 51.55, but she hasn’t yet achieved the qualification standards neither for the Pan-American Games (51.37), nor for the World Championships (51.30). Lucimar Teodoro won the 400 metres Hurdles with a clocking of 56.28, a championship record, Karla da Silva took the Pole Vault with 4.02m, a new Brazilian and South American Junior record, and Elisângela Adriano recorded one of the three double victories of the event, by taking the Shot and Discus. Adriano is one of the only 8 Brazilian athletes who, thus far, have achieved the qualification for the World Championships, and took the titles in the Shot with 18.56m, and the Discus with 58.97m. The women’s relays also produced 2 championship records. The 4x100 was won by BM&F (Lucimar de Moura, Kátia Santos, Thatiana Ignácio and Rosemar Neto) in 44.23, while the 4x400 was taken by Unoeste-Brasil Telecom (Aretusa Moreira, Lucimar Teodoro, Josiane Tito and Luciana França) in 3:31.37. The Brazilian team for the South American Championships, composed by 41 men and 39 women left for Venezuela on Tuesday, hoping to retain the title they have won since 1974.

Saturday (25) also confirmed what had been seen earlier, also in the men's championships earlier this week, that for some top names these national championships are just not important. The competition is just a way to get to the National Games and nothing else. Because only a top-16 place finish is needed for entry to the October National Games, many top names decided to jog through their semifinals or just perform once in the field events finals. Liu Qing defeats Olympic champion Olympic 10,000m champion Xing Huina, who had already won the 5000m on Friday, was beaten in a finishing straight sprint by 19-year-old Liu Qing, who won in 4:16.37 before Xing's 4:16.52. Liu is one of the most promising middle distance runners in China, she ran a personal best of 4:10.51 last season. On Sunday (26) she will be looking for a double here after easily entering the 800m semi-finals. Earlier this season she set a national indoor record of 2:02.90 in the 800m. Zhao Yingying takes the Pole Vault easily In the absence of Asian record holder Gao Shuying, 19-year-old Zhao Yingying took her second national title in three years jumping 4.30m for the third time outdoors this season. Last year she did not clear her opening height in the qualification of the national championships - earlier this season indoors she jumped a 4.45m Asian indoor record. Xue Juan gets the world junior leader in javelin World Junior record holder Xue Juan won the Javelin final with a throw of 59.72m, a season's best and a world leading mark for juniors this season. Ma Ning took the second place with 58.01m and 16-year-old Zhang Li set a personal best of 57.80m to take the third place. Zhang will be looking for a top finish in the World Youth Championships next month. Feng Yun wins the sprint hurdles 29-year-old Feng Yun, one of the oldest top competitors in this meeting, won the national title in 12.99, just a little behind her season's best 12.92 which she ran in New York earlier this month. Last year's champion Su Yiping was now second in 13.06. Tang Xiaoyin unchallenged in 400m Top 400m in the country, 20-year-old Tang Xiaoyin, who has already recorded a personal best of 51.96 earlier this season, easily won the 400m final in 53.05, 0.9 seconds before Xie Qing clocking 53.95 for second place. Tang finished fourth in the last year's World Junior Championships in Grosseto. Shen Shengfei wins another Heptathlon title Shen Shengfei won the fourth straight national title in Heptathlon now scoring only 5834 points for the win. 24-year-old Shen, who is the reigning National Games champion from 2001 (with pb 6263p), was well below her best in a couple of events losing several hundred points. She will be unchallenged in the National Games and will be looking for a rare chance of finishing in top three for the third time in the row. In 1997, at the age of 16, she took the second place with 6185 points, still the best score by a youth athlete all-time. Wang Lina's wins a low key Long Jump The women's Long Jump, exactly like the men's event a few days earlier, showed the weird attitude by athletes towards the National Championships meeting because it's also the qualifying meeting for the National Games. The best long jumper in China, Guan Yingnan who has jumped 6.78m this season, was apparently more than happy just to get to the final, and because the top-16 get to the National Games, Guan decided not to try too hard finishing a distant 10th with 6.03m result, despite being the third best in the qualification yesterday. 22-year-old Wang Lina won the competition with 6.56m ahead of Huang Jianfen, who jumped 6.39m season's best for second place. Promising qualifying performances Two of the most interesting performances of Saturday were achieved in the qualifying rounds. Asian record holder in Triple Jump (14.72m in 2001), Huang Qiuyan, looks to be in the best form of her career. Huang, who was a finalist in the Olympic Games in Athens last year, easily qualified with a jump of 14.36m for the final, Sunday. Huang has been very consistent ever since her record jump in 2001, in 2002 she jumped 14.60m, 2003 14.39m, 2004 14.66m and has a best of 14.58m earlier this season. Another athlete doing well in the heats was Huang Xiaoxiao, the best Chinese 400m hurdler, who also reached the semi-finals in the Athens Olympics. Huang gave a scare in yesterday's 400m flat heats finishing last in her heat in a slow time of 56.19, but today her pace was different. She won her 400m Hurdles heat with a faster time that she ran for the flat 400m a day earlier, 56.05! She will be looking to better her season's best in the final and will surely be part of the Chinese team in the Helsinki World Championships as well. Chinese summer season concludes with the last day The last day of the women's championships on Sunday will also mean a three-month break in the domestic athletics season in China. The next meeting will be the National Grand Prix final in Changchun 14-19 September, and the Shanghai Golden Grand Prix, IAAF meeting in Shanghai on 17 September. The National Games will be contested in Nanjing on 14-20 October, with the Marathon staged together with the Beijing International Marathon on 16 October. The final day of these championships tomorrow (26 June) will see some interesting competitions, 16-year-old High Jump star Zheng Xingyuan, who has already set a national junior record of 1.92m earlier this season, will be looking for her first national title. Huang Qiuyan in the Triple Jump and Huang Xiaoxiao in the 400m Hurdles will be favourites in their events with several titles won already. Sun Yingjie will clash with a new star, Zhou Chunxiu, who is the fastest Chinese over 10,000m this season and has already run a 2:23:24 marathon this season.

According to the, it has a population of people. It is bordered by Mabalacat to the north; Mexico to the east; San Fernando to the southeast; Bacolor to the south; and Porac to the southwest and west. Though the city administers itself autonomously from Pampanga, it is the province's commercial and financial hub. Angeles is served by the Clark International Airport in Clark Freeport Zone. Being home of the former Clark Air Base (then the largest United States military facility outside the continental United States), it was significantly affected by the fallout brought about by the eruption of Mount Pinatubo in 1991. The economy of Angeles was heavily dependent on the American base at that time. In 1993, a full cleanup and removal of volcanic ash deposits began and the former U.S. base re-emerged as Clark Special Economic Zone (CSEZ).""Mr. Lucio Tan is very excited about the development of Clark as an international airport. Clark will become the premiere airport in the country in the next five years,"" PAL president Jaime Bautista said. The creation of CSEZ has helped to offset the loss of income and jobs previously generated by the presence of the U.S. base in the city. Today, Angeles and Clark form the hub for business, industry, aviation, and tourism in the Philippines as well as a leisure, fitness, entertainment and gaming center of Central Luzon.
