Despite war, some Ukrainian families reunite for New Year
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — For millions of Ukrainians, many of them under Russian bombardment and grappling with power and water shortages, New Year’s celebrations will be muted as Russia’s 10-month war rumbles on with no end in sight. Explosions rang out across the country as a new wave of Russian attacks was reported Saturday.
But for some families, the new year is nevertheless a chance to reunite, however briefly, after months apart.
At Kyiv’s central railway station on Saturday morning, Mykyta, still in his uniform, gripped a bouquet of pink roses tightly as he waited on platform 9 for his wife Valeriia to arrive from Poland. He hadn’t seen her in six months.
“It actually was really tough, you know, to wait so long,” he told The Associated Press after hugging and kissing Valeriia.
Nearby, another soldier, Vasyl Khomko, 42, joyously met his daughter Yana and wife Galyna who have been living in Slovakia due to the war, but returned to Kyiv to spend New Year’s Eve together.
The mood contrasted starkly with that from 10 months ago when families were torn apart by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Back in February, fathers, husbands and sons had to stay behind as their wives, mothers and daughters boarded trains with small children seeking safety outside the country. Scenes of tearful goodbyes seared television screens and front pages of newspaper across the world.
But on the last day of the year marked by the brutal war, many returned to the capital to spend New Year’s Eve with their loved ones, despite the ongoing Russian attacks.
Multiple explosions were heard across the country Saturday, and air defenses were activated in several regions. One of the explosions in Kyiv occurred in a residential area, among the multi-story buildings of Solomianskyi district. One person was killed and three wounded, said the capital’s mayor, Vitali Klitschko.
As Russian attacks continue to target power supplies leaving millions without electricity, no big celebrations are expected and a curfew will be in place as the clock rings in the new year. But for most Ukrainians being together with their families is a luxury.
Valeriia first sought refuge from the conflict in Spain but later moved to Poland. Asked what their New Year’s Eve plans were, she answered simply: “Just to be together.”
The couple declined not to share their family name for security reasons as Mykyta has been fighting on the front lines in both southern and eastern Ukraine.
On platform 8, another young couple reunited. University student Arseniia Kolomiiets, 23, has been living in Italy. Despite longing to see her boyfriend Daniel Liashchenko in Kyiv, Kolomiiets was scared of Russian missiles and drone attacks.
“He was like, ‘Please come! Please come! Please come!’” she recalled. “I decided that (being) scared is one part, but being with beloved ones on the holidays is the most important part. So, I overcome my fear and here I am now.”
Although they have no electricity at home, Liashchenko said they were looking forward to welcoming 2023 together with his family and their cat.
In an attempt to ensure residents have light during their celebrations, the regional government of Ukraine’s southwestern Odesa province is planning to limit the work of the most energy-intensive industries on Dec. 31 and Jan 1.
Regional head Maksym Marchenko made the announcement on Friday via Telegram, and said that power engineers in the province had used all means possible to “eliminate the consequences” of Russia’s barrage of attacks on Ukraine on Thursday and reinstate the power supply.
In Kyiv, recent attacks have left many on edge, unsure about whether the skies will be peaceful on the last day of the year.
“We are hoping there will be no surprises today,” said Natalya Kontonenko who had traveled from Finland. It was the first time she had seen her brother Serhii Kontonenko since the full-scale invasion began on Feb. 24. Serhii and other relatives traveled from Mykolaiv to Kyiv to meet Natalya.
“We are not concerned about the electricity, because we are together and that I think is the most important,” he said.

Revelers throng to New Year’s parties after COVID hiatus
MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — With countdowns and fireworks, revelers in major city centers across the Asia-Pacific region were ushering in the first new year without COVID-19 restrictions since the pandemic began in 2020.
While COVID-19 continues to cause death and dismay, particularly in China, which is battling a nationwide surge in infections after suddenly easing anti-epidemic measures, countries had largely lifted quarantine requirements, restrictions for visitors and relentless testing that had limited travel and places people can go to.
Celebrations are being held at the Great Wall in Beijing, while in Shanghai authorities said traffic will be stopped along the waterfront Bund to allow pedestrians to gather on New Year’s Eve. Shanghai Disneyland will also hold a special fireworks show to welcome 2023.
On the last day of the year marked by the brutal war in Ukraine, many in the country returned to capital Kyiv to spend New Year’s Eve with their loved ones. As Russia attacks continue to target power supplies leaving millions without electricity, no big celebrations are expected and a curfew will be in place as the clock rings in the new year. But for most Ukrainians being together with their families is already a luxury.
Still wearing his military uniform, Mykyta gripped a bouquet of pink roses tightly as he waited for his wife Valeriia to arrive from Poland on platform 9. He hadn’t seen her in six months. “It actually was really tough, you know, to wait so long,” he told The Associated Press after hugging and kissing Valeriia.
The couple declined to share their family name for security reasons as Mykyta has been fighting on the frontlines in both south and east Ukraine. Valeriia first sought refuge from the conflict in Spain but later moved to Poland. Asked what their New Year’s Eve plans were, Valeriia answered simply: “Just to be together.”
Concerns about the Ukraine war and the economic shocks it has spawned across the globe were felt in Tokyo as well, where Shigeki Kawamura has seen better times but said he needs a free hot meal this New Year’s.
“I hope the war will be over in Ukraine so prices will stabilize,” he said. “Nothing good has happened for the people since we’ve had Mr. Kishida,” he said, referring to Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.
“Our pay isn’t going up, and our condition is worsening. The privileged may be doing well, but not those of us, who are working so hard,” Kawamura said.
He was one of several hundred people huddled in the cold in a line circling a Tokyo park to receive free New Year’s meals of sukiyaki, or slices of beef cooked in sweet sauce, with rice.
“I hope the new year will bring work and self-reliance,” said Takaharu Ishiwata, who lives in a group home and hasn’t found lucrative work in years.
Besides the sukiyaki box lunches, volunteers were handing out bananas, onions, cartons of eggs and small hand-warmers at the park. Booths were set up for medical and other consultations.
Kenji Seino, who heads the meal program for the homeless Tenohasi, which means “bridge of hands,” said people coming for meals were rising, with jobs becoming harder to find after the coronavirus pandemic hit, and prices going up.
More than 1 million are expected to crowd along Sydney’s waterfront for a multi-million dollar celebration based around the themes of diversity and inclusion.
Organizers have said a rainbow waterfall will be a prominent feature of the New Year’s Eve party. More than 7,000 fireworks will be launched from the top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and a further 2,000 from the nearby Opera House.
It is the “party Sydney deserves,” the city’s producer of major events and festivals Stephen Gilby told The Sydney Morning Herald.
“We have had a couple of fairly difficult years; we’re absolutely delighted this year to be able to welcome people back to the foreshores of Sydney Harbor for Sydney’s world-famous New Year’s Eve celebrations,” he said.
In Melbourne, Australia’s second largest city, organizers have arranged for a family-friendly fireworks display along the Yarra River as dusk falls before a second session at midnight.
The Pacific nation of Kiribati was the first country to greet the new year, with the clock ticking into 2023 one hour ahead of neighbors including New Zealand.
In Auckland, large crowds gathered below the Sky Tower, where a 10-second countdown to midnight preceded a fireworks display.
The celebrations in New Zealand’s largest city were well-received after COVID-19 forced them to be canceled a year ago.
Authorities in military-ruled Myanmar announced a suspension of its normal four-hour curfew in the country’s three biggest cities so residents can celebrate New Year’s Eve. However, opponents of army rule are urging people to avoid public gatherings, claiming the authorities might stage a bombing or other attack and blame it on them.

EAST TEXAS, Texas (KLTV/KTRE) - Good morning, East Texas! Here is the weather where you live... Dense fog and mist across the area to start our Saturday, with visibility down to less than a mile at times. If you’re out and about this morning, you’ll likely want to add some extra driving time to account for the fog and having to drive slower. Through the morning, fog should clear, leaving mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies for our afternoon. Highs today will range from the upper 60s to the low 70s. Tonight, temperatures drop into the mid 50s under mostly clear skies. Sunday will be a breezy day, with partly cloudy skies and highs in the mid 70s across East Texas.
To start the work week, Monday will feature showers and thunderstorms, with the possibility for severe weather Monday afternoon and evening. There is an Enhanced Risk, or Level 3 out of 5 Risk, for parts of East Texas from the Storm Prediction Center. Tornadoes, strong wind, hail, and flooding will all be possible. Please stay tuned to the forecast leading into Monday for updates. Monday is a First Alert Weather Day. Once storms clear out of the area early Tuesday morning, partly cloudy skies will remain, with highs only in the mid 60s Tuesday afternoon.
Our normal highs for this time of year are in the upper 50s, so for context, even with the cool down after the storms, we’ll still run warm for early January for at least a day. By Wednesday, temperatures are pretty close to seasonal norms and we’ll see that continue through the rest of the week. Additionally, skies will clear through the week, with sunny skies expected to return by Thursday and Friday. Have a great day.

MUMBAI :Filmmaker, producer, storyteller, and content creator Mitu, who runs her YouTube channel Positive Thinkerz, had an exciting 2022, but she wants her 2023 to be even better. In the New Year, she not only wants to break barriers for herself but for everyone in the industry.
“It was a great year for me. There were ups and downs but they were eventful. Professionally we made strides. We started with content for our YouTube channel and went on to make software for Atrangii and Dangal. We started working with COTO which is a whole new world. So yes, all in all, it was interesting professionally,” she said.
“In 2023, I want to break through barriers. I want to officially move to OTT in a big way. I want to break this barrier that people have of ‘TV people’ and ‘OTT people’, because good content is good content, in spite of the background. I want to break these stereotypes that people cater to. I want to prove that you need to be the person with a vision and an idea, deep pockets follow and not the other way around,” she added.
Talking about the milestones she achieved in 2022, she said that she along with her team made software on LGBTQIA+ which was a big step as they were the first to do so on TV and even on apps. “We have made a chart for our own channel that we intend to follow through all of next year and of course COTO which might be the beginning of something new,” she said.
What do you wish 2023 to hold in store for you? “That’s for 2023 to know and for me to find out,” Mitu ended. | https://www.tellychakkar.com/movie/movie-news/break-through-barriers-mitu-s-short-interesting-2023-wish-list-221231 | 2022-12-31T13:33:55 | en | 0.988447 |
BANGKOK (AP) — Authorities in military-ruled Myanmar announced a suspension of the normal four-hour curfew to allow New Year's celebrations in three biggest cities, but opponents of army rule urge people to stay away and claimed security forces might stage an attack and blame it on them.
A leaked official letter that circulated on social media said the Yangon regional government was lifting the curfew from midnight to 4 a.m. for one night, when it would host a New Year’s countdown party with fireworks and music at the city’s People’s Park.
Residents of the country’s capital, Naypyidaw, and the second largest city, Mandalay, confirmed that the curfew had also been lifted in their cities, which would also host official celebrations.
However, groups opposed to army rule posted warnings on social media urging people not to attend the military-organized events for safety reasons. They suggested that security forces might stage a provocation, such as a bombing or shooting, for which it would blame urban guerrillas of the People’s Defense Force, the armed wing of Myanmar’s banned main pro-democracy movement, which calls itself the National Unity Government.
Myanmar has been engulfed in what some U.N. experts have characterized as a civil war since the military seized power from the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi in February 2021. The army is engaged in brutal large-scale counterinsurgency operations in the countryside, while authorities also contend with urban guerrillas who target people and institutions associated with the ruling military.
The opposition's social media postings also said that attending New Year's gatherings could be seen as falling into a propaganda trap of the military, which could show images of people celebrating to claim that the the situation in the country had returned to normal.
Although it had become a tradition to hold public New Year's celebrations with concerts in major cities, none was held last year due to coronavirus restrictions and the curfews imposed by the military.
The U.S. Embassy in Yangon issued a warning on Dec. 23 to avoid visiting military-affiliated establishments, hotels, restaurants and bars on holidays and days of national significance and to stay aware of the possibility of shootings and bombings.
On Dec. 18, an explosion occurred on a state-owned ferry traveling across the Yangon River from Yangon to the suburban township of Dala, injuring at least 17 people. The military government blamed the People’s Defense Force for the blast but presented no evidence. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Army-in-strife-torn-Myanmar-lifts-curfew-for-New-17686925.php | 2022-12-31T13:33:58 | en | 0.970136 |
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, the shy German theologian who tried to reawaken Christianity in a secularized Europe but will forever be remembered as the first pontiff in 600 years to resign from the job, died Saturday. He was 95.
Benedict stunned the world on Feb. 11, 2013, when he announced, in his typical, soft-spoken Latin, that he no longer had the strength to run the 1.2 billion-strong Catholic Church that he had steered for eight years through scandal and indifference.
His dramatic decision paved the way for the conclave that elected Francis as his successor. The two popes then lived side-by-side in the Vatican gardens, an unprecedented arrangement that set the stage for future “popes emeritus” to do the same.
And it set the stage for a reigning pope to celebrate the funeral Mass for a retired one. The Vatican announced that Francis would preside over the funeral Thursday in St. Peter’s Square.
A statement from Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni on Saturday morning said that: “With sorrow I inform you that Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI died today at 9:34 in the Mater Ecclesia Monastery in the Vatican.”
The former Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger had never wanted to be pope, planning at age 78 to spend his final years writing in the “peace and quiet” of his native Bavaria.
Instead, he was forced to follow the footsteps of the beloved St. John Paul II and run the church through the fallout of the clerical sex abuse scandal and then a second scandal that erupted when his own butler stole his personal papers and gave them to a journalist.
Being elected pope, he once said, felt like a “guillotine” had come down on him.
Nevertheless, he set about the job with a single-minded vision to rekindle the faith in a world that, he frequently lamented, seemed to think it could do without God.
“In vast areas of the world today, there is a strange forgetfulness of God,” he told 1 million young people gathered on a vast field for his first foreign trip as pope, to World Youth Day in Cologne, Germany, in 2005. “It seems as if everything would be just the same even without him.”
With some decisive, often controversial moves, he tried to remind Europe of its Christian heritage. And he set the Catholic Church on a conservative, tradition-minded path that often alienated progressives. He relaxed the restrictions on celebrating the old Latin Mass and launched a crackdown on American nuns, insisting that the church stay true to its doctrine and traditions in the face of a changing world. It was a path that in many ways was reversed by his successor, Francis, whose mercy-over-morals priorities alienated the traditionalists who had been so indulged by Benedict.
Benedict’s style couldn’t have been more different from that of John Paul or Francis. No globe-trotting media darling or populist, Benedict was a teacher, theologian and academic to the core: quiet and pensive with a fierce mind. He spoke in paragraphs, not soundbites. He had a weakness for orange Fanta as well as his beloved library; when he was elected pope, he had his entire study moved — as is — from his apartment just outside the Vatican walls into the Apostolic Palace. The books followed him to his retirement home.
Like his predecessor John Paul, Benedict made reaching out to Jews a hallmark of his papacy.
In his 2011 book, “Jesus of Nazareth,” Benedict made a sweeping exoneration of the Jewish people for the death of Christ.
Yet Benedict also offended some Jews who were incensed at his constant defense of and promotion toward sainthood of Pope Pius XII, the World War II-era pope accused by some of having failed to sufficiently denounce the Holocaust.
Benedict’s relations with the Muslim world were also a mixed bag. He riled Muslims with a speech in September 2006 — five years after the Sept. 11 attacks in the United States — in which he quoted a Byzantine emperor who characterized some of the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad as “evil and inhuman,” particularly his command to spread the faith “by the sword.”
But Benedict’s legacy was irreversibly colored by the global eruption in 2010 of the sex abuse scandal, even though as a cardinal he was responsible for turning the Vatican around on the issue.
Benedict had firsthand knowledge of the scope of the problem, since his old office — the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which he had headed since 1982 — was responsible for dealing with abuse cases.
And once he became pope, Benedict essentially reversed his beloved predecessor, John Paul, by taking action against the 20th century’s most notorious pedophile priest, the Rev. Marcial Maciel.
In October 2012, Benedict’s former butler, Paolo Gabriele, was convicted of aggravated theft after Vatican police found a huge stash of papal documents in his apartment.
Once the “Vatileaks” scandal was resolved, including with a papal pardon of Gabriele, Benedict felt free to take the extraordinary decision that he had hinted at previously: He announced that he would resign rather than die in office as all his predecessors had done for almost six centuries.
“After having repeatedly examined my conscience before God, I have come to the certainty that my strengths due to an advanced age are no longer suited” to the demands of being the pope, he told cardinals.
He made his last public appearances in February 2013 and then boarded a helicopter to the papal summer retreat at Castel Gandolfo, to sit out the conclave in private. Benedict then largely kept to his word that he would live a life of prayer in retirement.
Born April 16, 1927, in Marktl Am Inn, in Bavaria, Benedict wrote in his memoirs of being enlisted in the Nazi youth movement against his will in 1941, when he was 14 and membership was compulsory. He deserted the German army in April 1945, the waning days of the war.
Benedict was ordained, along with his brother, Georg, in 1951. After spending several years teaching theology in Germany, he was appointed bishop of Munich in 1977 and elevated to cardinal three months later by Pope Paul VI.
His brother Georg was a frequent visitor to the papal summer residence at Castel Gandolfo until he died in 2020. His sister died years previously. His “papal family” consisted of Monsignor Georg Gaenswein, his longtime private secretary who was always by his side, another secretary and consecrated women who tended to the papal apartment.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — For millions of Ukrainians, many of them under Russian bombardment and grappling with power and water shortages, New Year's celebrations will be muted as Russia’s 10-month war rumbles on with no end in sight. Explosions rang out across the country as a new wave of russian attacks was reported Saturday.
But for some families, the new year is nevertheless a chance to reunite, however briefly, after months apart.
At Kyiv’s central railway station on Saturday morning, Mykyta, still in his uniform, gripped a bouquet of pink roses tightly as he waited on platform 9 for his wife Valeriia to arrive from Poland. He hadn’t seen her in six months.
“It actually was really tough, you know, to wait so long,” he told The Associated Press after hugging and kissing Valeriia.
Nearby, another soldier, Vasyl Khomko, 42, joyously met his daughter Yana and wife Galyna who have been living in Slovakia due to the war, but returned to Kyiv to spend New Year’s Eve together.
The mood contrasted starkly with that from 10 months ago when families were torn apart by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Back in February, fathers, husbands and sons had to stay behind as their wives, mothers and daughters boarded trains with small children seeking safety outside the country. Scenes of tearful goodbyes seared television screens and front pages of newspaper across the world.
But on the last day of the year marked by the brutal war, many returned to the capital to spend New Year’s Eve with their loved ones, despite the ongoing Russian attacks.
Multiple explosions were heard across the country Saturday, and air defenses were activated in several regions. One of the explosions in Kyiv occurred in a residential area, among the multi-story buildings of Solomianskyi district. One person was killed and three wounded, said the capital’s mayor, Vitali Klitschko.
As Russian attacks continue to target power supplies leaving millions without electricity, no big celebrations are expected and a curfew will be in place as the clock rings in the new year. But for most Ukrainians being together with their families is a luxury.
Valeriia first sought refuge from the conflict in Spain but later moved to Poland. Asked what their New Year’s Eve plans were, she answered simply: “Just to be together.”
The couple declined not to share their family name for security reasons as Mykyta has been fighting on the front lines in both southern and eastern Ukraine.
On platform 8, another young couple reunited. University student Arseniia Kolomiiets, 23, has been living in Italy. Despite longing to see her boyfriend Daniel Liashchenko in Kyiv, Kolomiiets was scared of Russian missiles and drone attacks.
“He was like, ‘Please come! Please come! Please come!’” she recalled. “I decided that (being) scared is one part, but being with beloved ones on the holidays is the most important part. So, I overcome my fear and here I am now.”
Although they have no electricity at home, Liashchenko said they were looking forward to welcoming 2023 together with his family and their cat.
In an attempt to ensure residents have light during their celebrations, the regional government of Ukraine’s southwestern Odesa province is planning to limit the work of the most energy-intensive industries on Dec. 31 and Jan 1.
Regional head Maksym Marchenko made the announcement on Friday via Telegram, and said that power engineers in the province had used all means possible to “eliminate the consequences” of Russia’s barrage of attacks on Ukraine on Thursday and reinstate the power supply.
In Kyiv, recent attacks have left many on edge, unsure about whether the skies will be peaceful on the last day of the year.
“We are hoping there will be no surprises today,” said Natalya Kontonenko who had traveled from Finland. It was the first time she had seen her brother Serhii Kontonenko since the full-scale invasion began on Feb. 24. Serhii and other relatives traveled from Mykolaiv to Kyiv to meet Natalya.
“We are not concerned about the electricity, because we are together and that I think is the most important,” he said.

BEIJING (AP) — China “stands on the right side of history,” the country's leader Xi Jinping said Saturday in a New Year’s address that came as questions swirl over his government’s handling of COVID-19 and economic and political challenges at home and abroad.
Speaking on national television from behind a desk in a wood-paneled office, Xi largely avoided directly addressing issues confronting the country, pointing instead to successes in agricultural production, poverty elimination and its hosting of the Winter Olympics in February.
However, he later turned somewhat obliquely to the challenges facing the world's most populous country and second-largest economy, saying, “The world is not at peace.”
China will “always steadfastly advocate for peace and development ... and unswervingly stands on the right side of history,” he said.
Recent weeks have seen street protests against Xi's government, the first facing the ruling Communist Party in more than three decades.
Xi’s speech follows a stunning U-turn on China’s hard-line COVID-19 containment policy that has sparked a massive surge in infections and demands from the U.S. and others for travelers from China to prove they aren't infected.
Meanwhile, the economy is fighting its way out of the doldrums, spurring rising unemployment, while ties with the U.S. and other major nations are at historic lows.
Setting aside their uncertainty, people in Beijing and other cities have returned to work, shopping areas and restaurants, with consumers preparing for January's Lunar New Year holiday, the most significant in the Chinese calendar.
Xi, who is also head of the increasingly powerful armed forces, was in October given a third five-year term as head of the almost 97 million-member Communist Party.
Having sidelined potential rivals and eliminated all limits on his terms in office, he could potentially serve as China’s leader for the rest of his life.
China has also come under pressure for its continued support for Russia, and on Friday, Xi held a virtual meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, in which he was quoted as describing the events in Ukraine as a “crisis.”
The term marked a departure from China’s usual references to the “Ukraine situation,” and the change may reflect growing Chinese concern about the direction of the conflict.
Still, in his remarks to Putin, Xi was careful to reiterate Chinese support for Moscow. China has pledged a “no limits” friendship with Russia and hasn't blamed Putin for the conflict, while attacking the U.S. and NATO and condemning punishing economic sanctions imposed on Russia. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Troubles-aside-Xi-says-China-on-right-side-of-17686908.php | 2022-12-31T13:34:16 | en | 0.974881 |

MUMBAI :2023 is almost here and the world has gone on a celebratory mode already. After two years of devastating pandemic, this time the merriment is going to be doubled. Ishq Ki Dastaan – Naagmani actor Aditya Shukla talks about his New Year celebration plans and more.
Looking back at the year gone by, he adds, “I was in total work mode and when I do what I love doing best, that is acting, it felt the year just zoomed by. And, at the end of it, the year has left me with some good happy memories.”
As we all have started to bounce back from Covid, the actor is just glad that he could find work to start with. “I am sure that it’s just a matter of time before things start to fall into place. Also, I am an artist, I believe in working on growth. There is no expectation to reach. Just evolving into a better actor and person is what I seek,” he says.
About specific milestones, he adds, “Well I am a Deep Sea Diver as well. So with the achievement of being an actor, I find my diving career an achievement as well. Now my aim is to be an even better actor and make more milestones in my life.”
He wishes 2023 to bless him with work and abundance. “I would love more work, be it TV serials, web series or movies. I want to be able to reach out through my work and inspire my audience,” he continues, “I am always on the lookout for more opportunities that will challenge me to become a more versatile actor and as an artist we are like water, we take the shape of the vessel we are put in. So all I do is wait for an opportunity and then work towards how I can do full justice towards the role or character. I don’t have any fixed plans for 2023. I will do my best when the opportunity comes.”
So what’s the first word/thing that comes to your mind when you are asked to complete, ‘In 2023 I would like to do ……’? And, Aditya is quick to reply, “More hard work and give my 110% in every project that I get.” | https://www.tellychakkar.com/tv/tv-news/aditya-shukla-i-had-my-work-mode-and-2022-just-zoomed-leaving-happy-memories-behind-want | 2022-12-31T13:34:36 | en | 0.974235 |

The writing for Ravi and Keerti scenes are so good and heart warming....Damn the kind of depth their scenes have#DharamPatnii #DharamPatni

Meanwhile, on the show, Now, in the upcoming episodes, we reported as per sources that Keerti will die, which will leave Ravi heartbroken and he will lose all hope.
But one of the big twists that we will see ahead is that Kavya’s feelings for Ravi will still be there, and she will try to get together with Ravi when Keerti is out of the picture and eventually her character will lose control when things don’t go her way.
The show has just begun and fans are already so invested in the show, that they are just waiting for more twists and turns!

MUMBAI : Today, Sheezan Khan’s custody ended, and he was produced in court where he was sent to 14 days of judicial custody.
During the hearing today, Tunisha’s lawyer said that she was forced to follow another religion. She was so into Sheezan and his family, that she went away from her mother also.
But anytime during this judicial custody, Sheezan can apply for bail and can go out, but will have to come to the police station for interrogation.
Sheezan was asked to give his Gmail password, but he refused to do so, stating that he doesn’t remember it. This has also caused doubt in the police’s mind
However, the police can retrieve it through the help of the Apple helpline and engineers.
Yesterday, Tunisha’s mother held a press conference where she revealed some shocking details about Sheezan. She said that when Tunisha had checked his phone, he slapped her because found out about his multiple affairs.
She also told the media that if he was so concerned about religion, then why did he have to come into a relationship. He could have been clear from the beginning only.
What’s catching the media’s headlines are the changing statements of Sheezan Khan and the reasons that he is giving for his breakup with Tunisha.
Well, in the upcoming days, more new details will be coming out on the case.
For more news and updates on television and Bollywood, stay tuned to TellyChakkar.

MUMBAI : Bade Achhe Lagte Hain 2 has been a breath of fresh air amongst the same drama that has been minted out, when it comes to custody as well. While there are some negative characters, they are always classy, and the way Nandini carries out her plans is marvellous. As a viewer, you will definitely appreciate her a lot. The show doesn't thrive on suspense, and they don’t drag out confrontations. Priya is headstrong and so is Nandini, and they are not hiding or conniving with each other.
A lot has happened on the show. After a lot of twists and turns, when fans thought that Ram and Priya might finally get together, they were hit with another twist.
ALSO READ: Spoiler Alert! Bade Achhe Lagte Hain 2: Pihu lashes out at Nandini at the function
But now, rumours are circulating that Bade Acche Lagte Hain 2 might be taking a generation leap, and will focus on the story of Pihu Ram Kapoor and how she navigates life.
Nakuul Mehta recently confirmed that he has quit the show and is just completing his last schedule.
Rumours were even circulating that Disha Parmar will also leave the show, but there has been no confirmation or denial about the same. We can only assume that they are discussing the future course of action with the makers of the show.
We recently saw the entry of Hiten Tejwani on the show. Initially, the rumours were doing the rounds that Hiten would take over the role of Ram, but instead, he has entered in the role of Ram’s younger brother, Lakhan.
When the first promo was released, fans couldn't wrap their heads around the fact that Hiten was playing the role of Ram’s younger brother. In reality, there is a significant age difference between the two. Criticism could also be triggered because Hiten has been a part of the telly world for a long time and has played many iconic characters. So to see him in this role is very unlikely.
The audiences were a little more honest and brutal with their reactions. Check them out here:
Viewers of the show are also not able to accept the fact that Ram Kapoor’s character, which is the core of the show, will not be there anymore. Also because the audiences had fallen in love with the chemistry between Disha Parmar and Nakuul Mehta.
Tell us your reactions to Hiten’s entry in the comments below!
Stay tuned to TellyChakkar for more updates!

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has said that everyone is welcome to the Bharat Jodi Yatra. He said this while responding to a question about whether Varun Gandhi, BJP MP from Pilibhit, will be invited to the yatra. However, the Congress leader said as Varun belongs to BJP, so he will have a problem there.
Responding to the question in a press conference, the Wayanad MP said, "Everyone is welcome, but he belongs to the BJP, so he will have a problem there."
The Bharat Jodi Yatra, which is currently on a 9-day break, will pass through western Uttar Pradesh in January 2023. Rahul was also asked if there is a place for Varun in Congress. To this, he said the party president should be asked.
People recently draw a similarity between Varun Gandhi's recent remarks and his elder cousin Rahul Gandhi's speech near the Red Fort during Bharat Jodo Yatra.
Meanwhile, the Congress leader also said, "The doors of Bharat Jodo Yatra are open for everyone, we are not going to stop anyone from joining us. Akhilesh ji, Mayawati ji and others want "mohabbat ka Hindustan" and there is some relation of ideology between us."
So far, Bharat Yodo Yatra, which started from Kanyakumari on September 7, has covered parts of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Maharashtra and Haryana.

Social networking platform WhatsApp landed into hot water with the Indian government after a recent tweet that showed an incorrect map of India. In the map of the globe, WhatsApp showed the map of India which had several significant parts cut out from it.
In a New Year 2023 tweet posted by WhatsApp, it presented a highlighted map of India which omitted the Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) area from the country’s map, as well as several territories of the country which have been claimed by neighbouring country China.
Union Minister of State for Electronics and IT, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, on Saturday told Meta-owned WhatsApp to immediately fix an incorrect map of India in its New Year celebration live-streaming link. The minister reiterated that all social media platforms that do business in India must use correct maps.
"Dear @WhatsApp Rqst that u pls fix the India map error asap. All platforms that do business in India and/or want to continue to do business in India, must use correct maps," said Chandrasekhar.
Earlier this week, he cautioned video calling platform Zoom`s founder and CEO Eric Yuan to "make sure" that he used the correct map of the countries the company does business in or wants to do business in.
Dear @WhatsApp - Rqst that u pls fix the India map error asap.
All platformsv_GoI) December 31, 2022
"You may want to make sure u use correct maps of the countries u do/want to do business in," he told Yuan. Zoom CEO later deleted the tweet showing an incorrect map of the country.
Chandrasekhar recently spoke about the compliance with law, rules and guardrails for all social media platforms in the country.
"I think who is the head of Twitter is not the most important discussion to have. It`s about the compliance with law, rules and guardrails for all social media platforms that need to be designed and put into place - transparent and true and institutional," said the Minister on Twitter.
The Minister was reacting to a tweet by Twitter CEO Elon Musk as he started a poll on the microblogging website asking millions of users "should I step down as head of Twitter?" "Should I step down as head of Twitter? I will abide by the results of this poll," Musk asked in one of the tweets.
In October this year, the government had notified rules under which it will set up appellate panels to redress grievances that users may have against the decisions of social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook on hosting contentious content.
The obligations of intermediaries earlier were limited to notifying users of rules but now with the new rules there will be much more definite obligations on platforms.

Starring Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, and John Abraham, the Siddharth Anand-directed actioner Pathaan has stirred up controversy since the release of its song Besharam Rang. After multiple people raised objections to the sizzling chemistry between Shah Rukh and Deepika in the song, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) instructed the makers, i.e. the Yash Raj Productions, to make changes in the film 'including the songs'.
Now, former CBFC chairperson Pahlaj Nihalani, who headed the organisation from 2015 to 2017 has reacted to this matter and said that the film is 'a victim of controversy'. He added that the CBFC must have been pressurised from the ministry to delete the 'saffron' bikini from the upcoming film.
Speaking to ETimes, Pahlaj said, "There’s no guideline that states that a colour can be cut. You can suggest changes if there’s vulgarity or obscenity. But if they ask for cuts because of colour, it would be a wrong proceeding. There could be pressure from the ministry. Pathaan is a victim of controversy. The CBFC must have got pressurised from the ministry to delete this portion of saffron colour. Otherwise, they had cleared the costume and the shot in the trailer."
"It is the committee’s right to decide what cuts and modifications are needed. They will have to see the revised version. Prasoon Joshi might have given a statement but he has no right to watch Pathaan with the examining committee. He must have got pressure from the ministry to see the film carefully because of saffron colour. If they suggest a cut because of colour then it would be a wrong proceeding", he further added.
Meanwhile, earlier this week, the current CBFC chairperson Prasoon Joshi asked YRF to submit a revised version of Pathaan and said in a statement, as quoted by PTI, 'I must reiterate that our culture and faith is glorious, intricate and nuanced. And we have to be careful that it does not get defined by trivia which takes the focus away from the real and the true. And like I have said earlier as well, that the trust between creators and audience is most important to protect and the creators should keep working towards it."

Net worth of Elon Musk: Tesla CEO Elon Musk has become the first person in history to lose over USD 200 billion in net worth. According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Musk’s net worth has declined by USD 208 billion over the last 13 months.
This comes after Tesla's share price saw a drop and the sale of shares to pay for the Twitter deal. The billionaire has recently acquired Twitter for USD 44 billion.
In January 2021, Musk’s net worth crossed USD 200 billion when Amazon’s Jeff Bezos is the only other person besides Musk to achieve this feat.
Elon Musk's net worth
By November 2021, Musk’s net worth rose to USD 340 billion and he became the world's richest person. Later, he was overtaken by Bernard Arnault, the French tycoon behind luxury-goods powerhouse LVMH.
Now after losing over USD 200 billion, his current net worth has declined to just USD 132 billion, according to a Bloomberg report. However, Musk is currently the second richest person in the world behind Bernard Arnault.
Though Musk suffered a huge loss, he has an impressive car collection. The 51-year-old reportedly has vintage as well as supercars including a classic Ford Model T and a Porsche 911 Turbo.

Rishabh Pant, India's standout wicketkeeper-batsman, was involved in a tragic car accident on Friday (December 30). The batsman was traveling alone on the National Highway to meet up with his family when his car collided with a divider and caught fire. Rishabh suffered head, arm, and leg injuries but was soon taken to the hospital for treatment.
The entire cricketing world is hoping for a speedy recovery for the youngster, who has been pronounced out of danger but will undergo treatment for his injuries. The initial MRI scans of the brain and spinal cord were negative, but the player will most likely undergo additional MRI scans of his right forearm and legs.
“Rishabh has two cuts on his forehead, a ligament tear in his right knee and has also hurt his right wrist, ankle, toe, and has suffered abrasion injuries on his back. Rishabh's condition remains stable, and he has now been shifted to Max Hospital, Dehradun, where he will undergo MRI scans to ascertain the extent of his injuries and formulate his further course of treatment,” BCCI said in its official statement on Friday.
According to reports, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has directed that Rishabh not be treated for his ligament injuries at the Max Hospital in Dehradun for the time being. The sportsman is expected to be flown to Mumbai or Delhi for further treatment.
In another development, Cricbuzz has learned that a close aide of Rishabh Pant advised him not to drive alone, but the cricketer insisted that he would be able to manage it.
While the Superintendent of Police initially stated that he fell asleep behind the wheel, the Delhi District Cricket Association (DDCA) Shyam Sharma has revealed new information about the accident. Pant told Sharma that he tried to avoid a pothole on the road while driving, which resulted in the incident.
"He is stable & recovering well. Our BCCI doctors are in touch with the doctors here. Jay Shah is monitoring it. As of now, he'll remain admitted here. He told me that he tried to save (his car) from a pothole (when accident occurred)," said Shyam to the media after meeting the star cricketer in the hospital. | https://www.dnaindia.com/cricket/report-rishabh-pant-s-friend-warned-him-not-to-drive-alone-but-cricketer-insisted-reports-3014275 | 2022-12-31T13:37:14 | en | 0.987912 |

After Tunisha Sharma died by suicide, Sheezan Khan, her co-actor from the show Ali Baba: Dastaan-E-Kabul with whom she had broken up fifteen days prior to her death, was arrested on charges of abetment to suicide and has now been sent to 14-day judicial custody by a Maharashtra court on Saturday, December 31.
After several media portals reported Tunisha's death to be the case of 'love jihad', the Vasai police, who are currently probing the matter, clarified that no love jihad, blackmail, or affair angle has been discovered in the case against Sheezan, and investigations are still continuing.
Now, Sheezan's family has issued a statement slamming those media portals for 'maligning him' and 'dragging religion' in the case as his two sisters Falaq Naaz and Shafaq Naaz have shared a statement on their Instagram handles. It read, "It breaks our heart how our silence has been understood as weakness. This is probably what they call 'Ghor Kaliyug'. Where's the research of some media portals before reporting things? Where's the common sense of the masses?".
"For all the people demeaning Sheezan - ask yourself this - are you talking based on the situation, or are you talking out of hate for a religion? Or are you talking out of influence from previous events? Stay woke, people! The journalism standards of a certain section of media have stooped so low that it only functions based on TRP. And YOU are their customer. Its equally your responsibility to report news with unreliable sources. Don't be fooled", their statement further added.
Concluding their statement, Sheezan's family wrote, "We also notice, and are very thankful for the masses as well as media portals who are able to see through the false narratives - we need more people like you. But all in all, it's so upsetting to see these people relentlessly malign Sheezan this way. From making up stories, to dragging religion into the matter and random people claiming to be our acquaintances for their 15-minute fame. This situation has really revealed how nasty some humans can get to defame someone. God bless Tunisha, and hope she is in a better place now."
Tunisha, aged 20, was found hanging in the makeup room of her show Ali Baba: Dastaan-E-Kabul on December 24. She was rushed to a hospital but declared brought dead. Sheezan was later arrested after her family complained against him.

A massive gathering is expected at the 12th-century shrine on New Year's eve. A traffic advisory has also been issued, Puri Superintendent of Police Kunwar Vishal Singh said.
The New Year's congregation at the temple is being allowed after a gap of two years.
Devotees make a beeline to the temple on December 31 and January 1 every year to seek blessings of the holy trinity in the new year. Lakhs of devotees are thronging the coastal town to have darshan of the presiding deities of the temple, Singh said.
''More than 60 platoons of policemen and 200 officers have been deployed in and around the temple. Hundreds of lifeguards will also be stationed at the designated bathing points along the beach,'' Singh told PTI.
He urged devotees to adhere to the traffic regulations and cooperate with on-duty police officers.
Puri Collector Samarth Verma said all arrangements have been made in the temple to ensure smooth darshan.

The police in Chhattisgarh's Raipur are using catchy social media posts and videos to caution people against drunk driving during the new year celebrations on Saturday.
Posts on the Raipur police's social media handles, including Twitter and Facebook, in the last couple of days, have gone viral.
In one of the posts in Hindi, the police warned that citizens speeding on roads will have to usher in the new year inside a police lock up.
“Creative flyers and videos are being issued by the Raipur police from time to time to make people aware about traffic safety rules. It attracts attention of the general public,” Raipur senior superintendent of police Prashant Agrawal told PTI.
Ahead of New Year's Eve, similar messages were conveyed through videos and posts on social media, he said. In one of the videos, four youngsters are seen drinking alcohol in a car despite being warned by the police who saw them buying liquor, and they later meet with an accident.
At the end of every video, the Raipur SSP is seen urging people not to risk their lives by driving in an inebriated state.
The police have made elaborate security arrangements in the capital to ensure peaceful new year celebrations.
“Adequate number of police personnel has been deployed across Raipur in view of new year parties and gatherings at various places. Patrolling teams from each police station along with Dial 112 emergency service will keep a close vigil in their respective areas,” an official said.
The state's housing and environment department has issued guidelines permitting the use of loudspeakers from 10 am to 12 midnight on New Year's Eve and January 1, a public relations officer here said.
All district collectors and superintendents of police have been instructed to ensure strict implementation of guidelines to prevent noise pollution, he added.

Tokyo Stock Exchange holds year-end ceremony, PM Fumio Kishida participates
Shares in Japan drastically fluctuated throughout this year due to factors such as Russia's invasion of Ukraine and US monetary policy actions.
- Country:
- Japan
The Tokyo Stock Exchange marked its last trading day of 2022 with a ceremony but the celebrations were subdued as the Nikkei Average posted its first year-on-year decline in four years, reported NHK World. Shares in Japan drastically fluctuated throughout this year due to factors such as Russia's invasion of Ukraine and US monetary policy actions.
The year-ending ceremony, held on Friday, was attended by Prime Minister Fumio Kishida -- the first for a Japanese leader in nine years. According to the report, Kishida pledged to press ahead with efforts to encourage people to shift their money from savings to investments. He also stressed the need to promote securities investments to individuals.
Besides the PM, popular playwright Mitani Koki also participated in the ceremony. PM Kishida and Mitani then rang the exchange bell, praying for a lift in stock prices in 2023, the report said. (ANI)

I’ve always been the type of person who takes note of what everyone else is eating (I can still remember my dad’s exact Olive Garden order, and that my brother always purposely left soda caps unscrewed in the fridge, because he didn’t like carbonation).
Similarly, I can see what all of you are eating and craving by looking at the most-liked recipes on the HuffPost Taste Instagram account ― and it gives me an idea of how you’re all doing, too. If pasta and chocolate cake are trending, things must be dire. If smoothies and salads are getting the clicks, it’s probably January, when resolutions are top of mind.
So in looking at the 22 most popular recipes of 2022, it’s clear we’ve been through it this year. In all my years of compiling this annual list, I’ve never seen a selection so thickly packed with comfort food ― bolognese, tomato soup, ham and cheese croissants, pierogies, and several iterations of macaroni and cheese and mashed potatoes.
Take a look at the list below and give some of them a try. There’s a reason these are favorites, so here’s hoping they bring a little light into your life. | https://www.huffpost.com/entry/best-instagram-recipes-2022_l_63a0dc93e4b03e2cc502f0a8 | 2022-12-31T13:39:07 | en | 0.94813 |

Search for Jim Inhofe on Google, and you’ll immediately see pictures of the Republican senator from Oklahoma proudly holding a snowball on the floor of the U.S. Senate.
Inhofe’s career in elected office spans nearly six decades, but the snowball is perhaps his most famous stunt — one of pure, unabashed climate idiocy that will follow him long after he vacates his senate seat.
Inhofe, 87, will retire in early January after nearly three decades in the Senate. He leaves behind a legacy of climate denial that might be laughable if it weren’t so embarrassing and dangerous. There are few members of Congress who have done more to sow public doubt about the mounting, deadly impacts of fossil fuel-driven planetary warming, or to block policies and regulations meant to confront the threat.
It was late February 2015 and snow had blanketed Washington, D.C. Speaking on the Senate floor, Inhofe produced a snowball from a plastic bag — proof, he argued, that global warming is not real.
“We keep hearing that 2014 has been the warmest year on record,” he said, gripping the softball-sized chunk of frozen water. “You know what this is? It’s a snowball, that’s just from outside here. So it’s very, very cold out. Very unseasonal.”
“Here Mr. President, catch this,” Inhofe said, tossing it to the sitting Senate president. The senator spent the next 20 minutes doing what he’s done his entire career: peddling the sort of climate disinformation that would make his fossil fuel industry donors blush.
Inhofe’s views go far beyond skepticism about the magnitude of the global threat. He’s dismissed global warming as “the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people” and called for climate scientists to be criminally prosecuted. He’s accused the Environmental Protection Agency of “brainwashing our kids” with “propaganda” about climate change. And he’s characterized carbon dioxide — the main driver of planetary warming — as nothing more than “a form of fertilizer to grow things.”
In his 2012 book about climate change, titled The Greatest Hoax, he wrote, “[T]his is what a lot of alarmists forget: God is still up there, and He promised to maintain the seasons and that cold and heat would never cease as long as the earth remains.” As the longtime former chairman of the powerful Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, he made a habit of calling the most prominent climate contrarians as expert witnesses.
Inhofe continued to shamelessly carry the torch even after many fossil fuel interests began to distance themselves from outright climate denial.
“There is no proof that President Biden’s climate fantasy is real,” he said in a video posted to Twitter in July.
For his efforts, the oil and gas industry rewarded Inhofe mightily. Over his long career in Congress, first in the House and then the Senate, oil and gas interests donated a whopping $2.32 million — more than any other industry, according to data compiled by OpenSecrets.com. Only eight members of Congress have received more fossil fuel money.
Like other seasoned deniers, Inhofe is a master cherry picker. When convenient, he conflates weather and climate to make his argument — the snowball stunt being a prime example. He parrots the favorite climate denier talking point that “the climate is constantly changing,” ignoring an undeniable mountain of research about the cause and speed of the current crisis. And he casts aside the work of reputable climate scientists around the globe while spotlighting an increasingly fringe group of contrarian scientists.
Inhofe has been described as “the original climate-denier in chief” and “one of the world’s most vociferous climate skeptics.”
In his farewell speech last month, Inhofe touted his efforts to chip away at climate action and environmental protections.
“It’s no shock to anyone that The Washington Post has dubbed me public enemy No. 1 for the radical environmentalists for decades now,” he boasted. “For much of my time in the Senate, I was the chair and ranking member of the Environment and Public Works Committee. Throughout that time, I pushed back against the Obama administration’s far-left policies that sought to upend the lives of Oklahomans, like the Paris Climate Agreement, the Waters of the U.S. Rule, the Clean Power Plan, and many others.”
“These policies were really about giving Washington bureaucrats sweeping control over the lives of millions of Americans,” he said. “We are debating a lot of these same issues today, and I expect these disagreements will continue long into the future.”
Climate change is a long settled scientific fact. But thanks in no small part to Inhofe, Americans will be forced to continue sifting through a mountain of climate misinformation and disinformation.
Inhofe’s legacy includes churning out a small army of like-minded skeptics and industry allies. E&E News identified at least 30 former Inhofe staffers now working in powerful positions in energy and environment — alumni that the publication wrote “stand to continue dominating right-wing environmental spaces for years.” These include Andrew Wheeler, the Trump-era EPA chief and current top environmental adviser to Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R); Marc Morano, the founder and executive director of climate denial website Climate Depot; and Mandy Gunasekara, a former Trump EPA official and current candidate for Mississippi’s Public Service Commission.
“I want to take a second to say thank you to all of my current and former staff. They are hanging around out here now,” Inhofe said during his farewell address. “I lovingly call my former staff the ‘has-beens.’ It is somewhat of a mark of honor. To all of you, thank you, you’re all about to be has-beens.” | https://www.huffpost.com/entry/jim-inhofe-retire-climate-denial_n_63a4c721e4b0d6f0b9ec07ec | 2022-12-31T13:39:19 | en | 0.962121 |

5 New Year resolutions almost everyone makes but doesn't follow!

Every year people make new year's resolutions and while the intent is to follow and live by them throughout the year, very few of them actually materialise. While there are some new ones, some simply are carried forward every year. As we are about to step into 2023, let's take a look at some resolutions that people make almost every year but fail to follow through on. 1. Eat Healthy
Well, the most difficult one perhaps. Almost everyone watching their weight or health take this one up as their priority when they make new year's resolutions. Eating healthy and clean tops the list and while it sounds easy, it's actually quite difficult to follow or keep up with. Especially, if you love munching on late-night junk or find it difficult to find a place in your heart for the greens! 2. Exercise More
Just like eating healthy, hitting the gym or exercising, in general, is another common resolution people make. It takes a lot of motivation, dedication and willpower which many of us lack -- not always though.We make crazy workout routines and a goal to hit the gym at least 5-6 times a week and while it's all good until January ends, the struggle to keep up with it begins the very next month. Especially, if you work for crazy hours. Maybe, this year? 3. Save Money
Another very common new year's resolution is to curb our expenses -- which basically means fewer trips to the malls and no ordering-in! But as good as the idea to save money for the much-awaited vacation sounds, some last-minute date night emergency shopping or late-night hunger pangs prove to be the biggest hurdles. We always got that "I've got nothing to wear in my cupboard, let's go shopping" days, right? Well, for most of us, it's more often than y'all think! 4. Cut down on social media
Social media has built careers for many and while it'd a good platform to interact and socialise digitally, it's addictive! Think of those nights you've wanted to sleep early but ended up watching reels till 4 in the morning. Sounds familiar, right? While many of us want to cut down time on our social media usage, it's difficult to keep up, especially with the new outfit inspiration ideas and funny memes. But let's hope 2023 proves to be the year that makes us keep up with this resolution.
5. Quit smoking Well, this is not for everyone, just smokers! Everybody who smokes knows it's a bad thing and extremely unhealthy and still does it. It's addictive which is why people make a new year's resolution to quit it. Some do it in a planned way while some just give up -- only to smoke another cigarette 6 days later!
Smoking is injurious to health. So good luck quitting! (ANI)

Live Updates | Reactions to Pope Benedict XVI''s death
- Country:
- Germany
Germany's president is praising the late Pope Benedict XVI's dedication to dialogue between Christian denominations and with other religions.
President Frank-Walter Steinmeier said in a message of condolences to Pope Francis that “the election of a pope from the motherland of the Reformation and an intellectual who had made the dialogue between faith and reason his life's task was an important signal for many people around the world.” Steinmeier said that the German-born pontiff “particularly cared about the unity of Christendom and the dialog of religions, the connection between religion and society.” He added that “he sought dialog with Jews and Muslims and with all Christian denominations worldwide.” ___ KEY DEVELOPMENTS: Benedict XVI, first pope to resign in 600 years, dies at 95 Benedict's lasting mark on papacy will be his resignation Highlights from the life of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI ___ ROME — Italian President Sergio Mattarella said the death of the pope emeritus is a cause for grief for the entire country. Mattarella said that “his sweetness and his wisdom had benefited our community and the entire international community.” He added in a statement that Benedict “continued to serve the cause of his Church in his unique role of pope emeritus with humility and serenity.? The president said that Benedict “interpreted with finesse the reasons of dialogue, of peace, of the dignity of the person, as well as the supreme interests of religions.” ___ VATICAN CITY — The Vatican says that Pope Francis will celebrate the funeral Mass for Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI in St. Peter's Square on Thursday.
It will be an unprecedented event in which a current pope will celebrate the funeral for a former one.
Francis was elected after Benedict resigned in 2013.
___ LONDON -- The spiritual head of the Anglican church says that “in his life and ministry, Pope Benedict XVI directed people to Christ.” The archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, wrote on Twitter: “I join with Pope Francis and all the Catholic Church in mourning his death. May he rest in Christ's peace and rise in glory with all the Saints.” ___ OSLO, Norway — In predominantly Lutheran Norway, the Catholic bishop of Oslo, Bernt Ivar Eidsvig, called Benedict “the last great theologian of the past 100 years.” Eidsvig told Norwegian broadcaster NRK that “He masters all the theological subjects. I cannot think of anyone else who does.” ___ ROME — Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni has called Pope Benedict XVI a “giant of faith and reason” that history will never forget.
In a statement, she praised his lifelong service to the church and ability to “speak to the hearts and minds of people with the spiritual, cultural and intellectual profundity of his magisterium.” She said she offered Pope Francis her own personal condolences, and those of the government, in sharing “his pain and that of the entire ecclesial community.” ___ BERLIN — German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is paying tribute to the German-born Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI as a “formative figure of the Catholic Church.” Benedict, the former Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, became the first German pope in centuries when he was elected in 2005. Scholz said on Twitter Saturday that “as the German' pope, Benedict XVI was a special church leader for many, not just in this country.” He said that “the world is losing a formative figure of the Catholic Church, a combative personality and a wise theologian.” ___ BERLIN — The governor of Benedict XVI's native German region says that “we are mourning our Bavarian pope.” Bavarian governor Markus Soeder said on Twitter Saturday that “with him, society is losing a persuasive representative of the Catholic Church and one of the most influential theologians of the 20th century.” Soeder wrote that “many people in his homeland will remember him not just as pope, but also as a humble pastor.” He noted that “at the same time, he also had to face responsibility for difficult phases in his work.” The governor said that “he always carried his homeland in his heart.” The head of the German Bishops' Conference, Limburg Bishop Georg Baetzing, said that “an impressive theologian and experienced shepherd is leaving us with the death of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI.” “We are mourning a personality who imparted hope and direction to the church even in difficult times,” Baetzing said in a statement. He voiced “great respect” for Benedict's “courageous decision” to resign a decade ago.
___ VATICAN CITY — The Vatican says Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI has died. He was 95.
Benedict was the first pope in 600 years to resign. Benedict had become increasingly frail during his almost 10 years of retirement. Benedict's dramatic decision in 2013 to resign paved the way for the conclave that elected Pope Francis. The two popes then lived side-by-side in the Vatican gardens in an unprecedented arrangement that set the stage for future “popes emeritus” to do the same.
The former Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger never wanted to be pope. But he was forced to follow in St. John Paul II's footsteps, running the church during a period of scandal and indifference.(AP) RDT

QUOTES-Global reactions to the death of former Pope Benedict
A Christian, a pastor, a theologian: a great man whom history will not forget." FRENCH PRESIDENT EMMANUEL MACRON "My thoughts go out to Catholics in France and around the world, bereaved by the departure of His Holiness Benedict XVI, who worked with all his soul and intelligence for a more fraternal world." POLISH PRESIDENT ANDRZEJ DUDA: "Pope Benedict XVI has gone to our Father's House.
Following are reactions to the death of former Pope Benedict, who was the first pontiff in 600 years to resign from the post rather than rule for life: GERMAN CHANCELLOR OLAF SCHOLZ ON TWITTER:
"As a "German" #Pope, #BenedictXVI was a special church leader for many, not only in this country. The world is losing a formative figure of the Catholic Church, an argumentative personality and a clever theologian. My thoughts are with Pope Francis." MARKUS SOEDER, PREMIER OF BENEDICT'S HOME STATE OF BAVARIA:
"We mourn the death of our Bavarian Pope. The death of Benedict XVI touches me deeply, as it does many people in Bavaria and all over the world. With him, society loses a convincing representative of the Catholic Church as well as one of the most influential theologians of the 20th century. In turbulent and challenging times, he was the religious leader of the Catholic faithful. Many people in his homeland will remember him with gratitude not only as Pope Benedict XVI, but also as a humble pastor ... His visit of several days to Bavaria as the new Pope, expressing his love for the country and its people, is unforgettable. He always carried his homeland in his heart." ITALIAN PRIME MINISTER GIORGIA MELONI:
"Benedict XVI was a giant of faith and reason. A man in love with the Lord who put his life at the service of the Universal Church and has spoken, and will continue to speak, to the hearts and minds of people with the spiritual, cultural and intellectual depth of his Magisterium. A Christian, a pastor, a theologian: a great man whom history will not forget." FRENCH PRESIDENT EMMANUEL MACRON
"My thoughts go out to Catholics in France and around the world, bereaved by the departure of His Holiness Benedict XVI, who worked with all his soul and intelligence for a more fraternal world." POLISH PRESIDENT ANDRZEJ DUDA:
"Pope Benedict XVI has gone to our Father's House. Today the world has lost one of the greatest theologians of the 20th and 21st centuries, a close collaborator of St. John Paul II. His life, works and pastoral ministry are a signpost among many winding and deceptive roads of modern times. RIP" OUTGOING BRAZILIAN PRESIDENT JAIR BOLSONARO:
"Although his pontificate was short, he leaves an immense legacy for the Catholic Church, for all Christians and for humanity ... In defense of the truth of the Gospel, he fearlessly criticized the errors of the so-called 'liberation theology,' which intends to mix up Christianity with erroneous concepts of Marxism." CARDINAL VINCENT NICHOLS, ROMAN CATHOLIC ARCHBISHOP OF WESTMINSTER:
"I am deeply saddened to learn of the death of Pope Benedict. He will be remembered as one of the great theologians of the 20th century. I remember with particular affection the remarkable Papal Visit to these lands in 2010." PATRIARCH KIRILL, HEAD OF THE RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH
"The absolute authority of Benedict XVI as an outstanding theologian allowed him to make a significant contribution to the development of inter-Christian cooperation ... and to the protection of traditional moral values. "During the papacy of Benedict XVI, the relationship between the Russian Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church developed significantly in the spirit of fraternal cooperation and the desire to interact on how to overcome the sometimes painful legacy of the past."
JUSTIN WELBY, ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY AND LEADER OF THE ANGLICAN COMMUNION: "Pope Benedict was one of the greatest theologians of his age – committed to the faith of the Church and stalwart in its defence. In all things, not least in his writing and his preaching, he looked to Jesus Christ, the image of the invisible God. It was abundantly clear that Christ was the root of his thought and the basis of his prayer."
UK PRIME MINISTER RISHI SUNAK: "I am saddened to learn of the death of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. He was a great theologian whose UK visit in 2010 was an historic moment for both Catholics and non-Catholics throughout our country. My thoughts are with Catholic people in the UK and around the world today."

Tunisha Sharma death: Will file first bail application on Monday, says Sheezan's lawyer
Advocate Shailendra Mishra, counsel for TV actor Tunisha Sharma's death accused Sheezan Khan, on Saturday said that they will file the first bail application for the accused on Monday.
- Country:
- India
The counsel for TV actor Sheezan Khan who is the accused in actor Tunisha Sharma's death case, on Saturday said that he will file the first bail application for the accused on Monday. "We have applied for some certified copies. If we get it today, it's ok, if not then we will file the first bail application on Monday morning," advocate Shailendra Mishra told ANI while walking out of Vasai court.
Earlier in the day, the Vasai court sent accused Sheezan Khan to 14-day judicial custody. The Waliv police produced the 28-year-old actor in court after his police custody ended on Saturday.
Speaking on his client's judicial custody, Shailendra Mishra told ANI that the police tried to seek Sheezan's custody, based on the same ground which was presented before the court yesterday. After hearing the lawyers' arguments, the court sent him to judicial custody. Sheezan's lawyer Shailendra Mishra submitted four applications on the behalf of his client seeking home-cooked food in the jail premises. The lawyer submitted that Sheezan is seeking permission to use an inhaler for his asthma. The accused's counsel also sought permission for visits from family members and lawyers while in custody.
Sheezan has also asked that his hair not be cut while he is in custody and also for security inside the jail. Sheezan Khan is the reported former boyfriend and co-star of 21-year-old Tunisha, who was allegedly found hanging at a TV serial set on December 24, a fortnight after the two broke up their months-long relationship.
The Ali Baba: Dastaan-E-Kabul actor was arrested on charges of abetment to suicide on December 25. So far, the police have recorded the statements of 27 people in the matter.
In the application submitted by the Waliv police seeking Sheezan's five-day remand from the court on Friday, officials alleged that Sheezan Khan was having an affair with another girl apart from Tunisha Sharma and had also deleted many chats from his mobile after being detained in Tunisha Sharma's death case. According to the police, Sheezan was not cooperating with the investigation and repeatedly changed his statements when asked about the chats with his "secret girlfriend".
According to some chats which have been recovered, the accused used to talk to many other girls also, the police said. "Many important chats have been found on the mobile of the accused during the investigation which has revealed that the accused started avoiding Tunisha after the breakup. Tunisha used to message him repeatedly, but the accused avoided her by not replying to her," the police said yesterday.
Tunisha's mother Vanita Sharma, addressing a press conference in Mumbai on Friday made several allegations against Sheezan and also raised suspicion of "murder". "Sheezan took her from the room but did not call the ambulance. This could also be a murder, how is it possible that she was found in Sheezan's room and it was Sheezan only who brought her down, but did not call the ambulance or doctors? Sheezan forced her to wear Hijab as well," Vanita Sharma said addressing a press conference on Friday. (ANI)

Karnataka: VHP, Bajrang Dal launch 'Love Jihad helpline' for girls in Mangaluru
he Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal in Karnataka's Mangaluru have launched a 'Love Jihad helpline' for the girls who fell in interfaith love.
- Country:
- India
A "love jihad helpline" has been launched in Karnataka's Managaluru to assist the girls who have allegedly been a victim of forceful religious conversions or interfaith marriages. The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) has launched this helpline in association with several other Hindu organisations to provide legal and medical assistance to these girls and their family members.
According to the Prachara Pramukh (publicity head) of VHP, Pradeep Saripalla, the helpline would connect these girls to a 20-member team comprising of doctors, counsellors, and other volunteers. "Many Hindu girls have been converted to Islam, killed and used to smuggle drugs in the name of love, we have seen all this in coastal Karnataka since many years. That's why, to prevent all such incidents, we have started this 'Love Jihad Helpline' which can be accessed by anyone who has been trapped in the Love Jihad," Pradeep Saripalla said.
He further said that even the parents of these girls can reach the helpline. "We will keep all the information confidential. The helpline team contains 20 members, which would work for providing medical help, legal advice, counselling and rehabilitation. Anybody can call here for help without any fear," he added.
The VHP shared one calling and one WhatsApp number through which these girls can get in touch with the counsellors and seek necessary help. The survivors can call at 9148658108 and WhatsApp them at 9591658108. The organisation also shared the email ID as antilovejihadmir@gmail.com for easy access to the aide. (ANI)

As citizens and the hospitality sector prepare to welcome the New Year in a big way across Gujarat, the police in the dry state have stepped up surveillance to curb the consumption of drugs and liquor along with drunken driving.
Hotels, clubs, cafes and party venues have been gearing up to offer a variety of foods and mocktails and have roped in DJs and popular Bollywood and local singers to rev up the night.
Organisers of midnight parties reported encouraging response and said tickets are being bought online in large numbers. This will be the first time in two years that celebrations will be held without Covid-19 norms.
Anticipating heavy footfall in public places, the Gujarat police have made elaborate security arrangements and warned revellers against the use of drugs and alcohol.
Senior officials have been asked to carry out combing operations on the night of December 31 to thwart any possible terrorist activity, Director General of Police (Training) Vikas Sahay told reporters here. He said police officials have been provided with special kits to detect narcotics on the spot.
Special planning has also been made for traffic control and crowd management, and CCTV feed sent from different districts to the command and control centre at the headquarters in Gandhinagar will be monitored by senior officials, said Sahay.
“We have made all arrangements for the December 31 celebrations, whether it is regarding women's protection, drugs and liquor prohibition, traffic control and crowd management,” he said.
Senior officials of various police teams will take part in combing during the night of December 31. “This will include checking of vehicles, hotels, railway stations, bus stands, farm houses, vital installations, etc.,” Sahay said.
Jignesh, the manager of Ahmedabad-based Makeba Lounge Cafe, said all 250 tickets for the New Year’s Eve party have been sold. There will be a DJ event and a seven-course meal for the guests, he said, calling the response “tremendous”.
An official from Hotel Silver Cloud in Ahmedabad was equally excited. He said they have already sold many passes for their open-terrace party. ''The response is very good,” he said.

Xi calls for unity as China enters 'new phase' of COVID policy
Chinese President Xi Jinping called on Saturday for more effort and unity as the country enters a "new phase" in its approach to combating the pandemic, in his first public comments on COVID-19 since his government changed course three weeks ago and relaxed its rigorous policy of lockdowns and mass testing. In a televised speech to mark the New Year, Xi said China had overcome unprecedented difficulties and challenges in the battle against COVID-19, and that its policies were "optimised" when the situation and time so required.

Chinese President Xi Jinping called on Saturday for more effort and unity as the country enters a "new phase" in its approach to combating the pandemic, in his first public comments on COVID-19 since his government changed course three weeks ago and relaxed its rigorous policy of lockdowns and mass testing.
In a televised speech to mark the New Year, Xi said China had overcome unprecedented difficulties and challenges in the battle against COVID-19, and that its policies were "optimised" when the situation and time so required. "Since the outbreak of the epidemic ... the majority of cadres and masses, especially medical personnel, grassroots workers braved hardships and courageously perserved," Xi said.
"At present, the epidemic prevention and control is entering a new phase, it is still a time of struggle, everyone is persevering and working hard, and the dawn is ahead. Let's work harder, persistence means victory, and unity means victory." Beijing earlier this month scrapped its signature zero-COVID approach based on mass testing, centralised quarantine and lockdowns - which it had maintained for almost three years.
The policy switch has led to a wave of infections across the country, a further drop in economic activity and international concern, with Britain and France becoming the latest countries to impose curbs on travellers from China. China's decision to abandon the zero-COVID policy aligned it with a world that has largely reopened to live with the virus.
The step followed unprecedented public protests over the policy championed by Xi, marking the strongest show of public defiance in his decade-old presidency and coinciding with grim growth figures for China's $17 trillion economy.

Study reveals new method to boost immunity to viral infections
A syndrome known as immunological "exhaustion" occurs when the immune system, particularly T cells, are severely weakened by cancer and severe viral infections. Overcoming immunological exhaustion is a key goal in the development of new drugs for serious viral infections or cancer.
- Country:
- Australia
Severe viral infections and malignancies are known to weaken the immune system, particularly T cells, a state known as immunological "exhaustion." Overcoming immunological exhaustion is a key goal in the development of innovative drugs for cancer or severe viral infections. According to a study that was published in the journal "Immunity," Melbourne researchers have found a way to strengthen the immune response in the face of serious viral infections.
A team from the Peter Doherty Institute of Infection and Immunity (Doherty Institute) led by University of Melbourne's Dr Sarah Gabriel, Dr Daniel Utzschneider and Professor Axel Kallies has been able to identify why immune exhaustion occurs and how this may be overcome. The team had previously identified that while some T cells lost their function and became exhausted within days, others, called Tpex cells, were able to maintain their function for a long period of time.
"This idea that you need to overcome exhaustion and make T cells better is at the heart of immunotherapy," Professor Kallies said. "While immunotherapy works really well, it is only effective in around 30 per cent of people. By discovering a way to prime T cells differently so they can work efficiently in the long run, we may be able to make immunotherapy more effective in more people," he added.
In their most recent paper published today in Immunity, the team has now identified a mechanism explaining how Tpex cells can maintain their fitness over long periods. Professor Kallies says that the discovery has the potential to improve the success rate of immunotherapy.
"We found that activity of mTOR, a nutrient sensor that coordinates cellular energy production and expenditure, is reduced in Tpex cells compared to those which were becoming exhausted," Dr Gabriel said. "What this means is that Tpex cells were able to dampen their activity so they could remain functional longer - it's like going slower to have the endurance to run a marathon instead of a sprint at full speed."Dr Utzschneider stressed that flicking this switch to the immune system is a balancing act."You don't want to dampen the response too much to the point the response becomes ineffective - you don't want to be left walking the race," Dr Utzschneider said.
"The next step was finding the mechanism which was enabling this. We discovered that Tpex cells were exposed to increased amounts of an immunosuppressive molecule, TGF?? early on in an infection. This molecule essentially acts as a brake, reducing the activity of mTOR and thereby dampening the immune response." Excitingly, the researchers were able to use this discovery to improve the immune response to severe viral infection.
"When we treated mice with an mTOR inhibitor early, this resulted in a better immune response later during the infection," Dr Gabriel said. "In addition, mice that had been treated with the mTOR inhibitor responded better to checkpoint inhibition, a therapy widely used in cancer patients." (ANI)

Former Pope Benedict dies aged 95, funeral set for Jan. 5
Former Pope Benedict, who in 2013 became the first pontiff in 600 years to resign, died on Saturday aged 95 in a secluded monastery in the Vatican where he had lived since stepping down.
Former Pope Benedict, who in 2013 became the first pontiff in 600 years to resign, died on Saturday aged 95 in a secluded monastery in the Vatican where he had lived since stepping down. Bells tolled across the Vatican City as news of his death, which followed a rapid decline in his health over Christmas, spread to the faithful on an unusually warm winter's day.
The Vatican said his body would lie in state from Monday in St.Peter's Basilica and his funeral will be held on the morning of Jan. 5. Pope Francis will preside over the ceremony, which will take place in the huge square in front of the basilica. "With sorrow I inform you that the Pope Emeritus, Benedict XVI, passed away today at 9:34 in the Mater Ecclesiae Monastery in the Vatican," Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni said.
The Vatican has painstakingly elaborate rituals for what happens after a reigning pope dies but no publicly known ones for a former pope - one of the many complications thrown up by Benedict's shock resignation in 2013. Earlier this week, Pope Francis disclosed that his predecessor was "very sick". Bruni said Benedict had received his last rites, called "the anointing of the sick", on Wednesday.
Leaders were swift in sending their condolences for Benedict, who was the first German pope in 1,000 years. "We mourn the death of our Bavarian Pope," said Markus Soeder, premier of Benedict's home state. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Twitter that the world had lost "a formative figure of the Catholic Church".
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni hailed Benedict as "a great man who history will not forget", while Polish President Andrzej Duda called him "one of the greatest theologians of the 20th and 21st centuries". French President Emmanuel Macron said Benedict had "worked with all his soul and intelligence for a more fraternal world".
SCANDALS For nearly 25 years, as Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, Benedict was the powerful head of the Vatican's doctrinal office, then known as the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF).
He was elected pope on April 19, 2005 to succeed the widely popular Pope John Paul II, who reigned for 27 years. Cardinals chose him from among their number seeking continuity and what one called "a safe pair of hands". Child abuse scandals hounded most of his papacy but he is credited with jump-starting the process to discipline or defrock predator priests after a more lax attitude under his predecessor.
But Benedict himself acknowledged that he was a weak administrator, saying he showed a "lack of resolve in governing and decision taking" during his eight-year papacy which was marked by missteps and a leaks scandal. He announced he was resigning in Latin at a routine meeting of cardinals. Many had no idea what he had said and it took time before the news sank in. He himself said he was no longer strong enough to lead the Church due to his "advanced age".
After his resignation he installed himself in a converted convent on the Vatican grounds and chose the title "pope emeritus". Although he rarely appeared in public, Catholic conservatives looked to the former pope as their standard bearer and some ultra-traditionalists even refused to acknowledge Francis as a legitimate pontiff.
They have criticised Francis for his more welcoming approach to members of the LGBTQ+ community and to Catholics who divorced and remarried outside the Church, saying both were undermining traditional values. Despite the difficulties that emerged from having two men wearing white in the Vatican, Francis developed a warm relationship with Benedict, and said it was like having a grandfather living in the house.

WRAPUP 4-Xi says COVID control is entering new phase as cases surge after reopening
Chinese President Xi Jinping called on Saturday for more effort and unity as the country enters a "new phase" in its approach to combating the pandemic, in his first comments to the public on COVID-19 since his government changed course three weeks ago and relaxed its rigorous policy of lockdowns and mass testing.
Chinese President Xi Jinping called on Saturday for more effort and unity as the country enters a "new phase" in its approach to combating the pandemic, in his first comments to the public on COVID-19 since his government changed course three weeks ago and relaxed its rigorous policy of lockdowns and mass testing. China's abrupt switch earlier this month from the "zero-COVID" policy that it had maintained for nearly three years has led to infections sweeping across the country unchecked. It has also caused a further drop in economic activity and international concern, with Britain and France becoming the latest countries to impose curbs on travellers from China.
The switch by China followed unprecedented protests over the policy championed by Xi, marking the strongest show of public defiance in his decade-old presidency and coinciding with grim growth figures for the country's $17 trillion economy. In a televised speech to mark the New Year, Xi said China had overcome unprecedented difficulties and challenges in the battle against COVID, and that its policies were "optimised" when the situation and time so required.
"Since the outbreak of the epidemic ... the majority of cadres and masses, especially medical personnel, grassroots workers braved hardships and courageously persevered," Xi said. "At present, the epidemic prevention and control is entering a new phase, it is still a time of struggle, everyone is persevering and working hard, and the dawn is ahead. Let's work harder, persistence means victory, and unity means victory."
New Year's Eve prompted reflection online and by residents of Wuhan, the epicentre of the COVID outbreak nearly three years ago, about the zero-COVID policy and the impact of its reversal. People in the central city of Wuhan expressed hope that normal life would return in 2023 despite a surge in cases since pandemic curbs were lifted. Wuhan resident Chen Mei, 45, said she hoped her teenage daughter would see no further disruptions to her schooling.
"When she can't go to the school and can only have classes online it's definitely not an effective way of learning," she said. VIDEO REMOVED
Across the country, many people voiced similar hopes on social media, while others were critical. Thousands of users on China's Twitter-like Weibo criticised the removal of a video made by local outlet Netease News that collated real-life stories from 2022 that had captivated the Chinese public.
Many of the stories included in the video, which by Saturday could not be seen or shared on domestic social media platforms, highlighted the difficulties ordinary Chinese faced as a result of the previously strict COVID policy. Weibo and Netease did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
One Weibo hashtag about the video garnered almost 4 million hits before it disappeared from platforms at about noon on Saturday. Social media users created new hashtags to keep the comments pouring in. "What a perverse world, you can only sing the praises of the fake but you cannot show real life," one user wrote, attaching a screenshot of a blank page that is displayed when searching for the hashtags.
The disappearance of the videos and hashtags, seen by many as an act of censorship, suggests the Chinese government still sees the narrative surrounding its handling of the disease as a politically sensitive issue. HOSPITALS OVERWHELMED
The wave of new infections has overwhelmed hospitals and funeral homes across the country, with lines of hearses outside crematoriums fuelling public concern. China, a country of 1.4 billion people, reported one new COVID death for Friday, the same as the day before - numbers that do not match the experience of other countries after they reopened.
UK-based health data firm Airfinity said on Thursday that about 9,000 people in China were probably dying each day from COVID. Cumulative deaths in China since Dec. 1 have likely reached 100,000, with infections totalling 18.6 million, it said. Zhang Wenhong, director of the National Centre for Infectious Diseases, told the People's Daily in an interview published on Saturday that Shanghai had reached a peak of infections on Dec. 22, saying there were currently about 10 million cases.
He said those numbers indicated that some 50,000 people in the city of 25 million would need to be hospitalized in the next few weeks. At the central hospital of Wuhan, where former COVID whistleblower Li Wenliang worked and later died of the virus in early 2020, patient numbers were down on Saturday compared with the rush of the past few weeks, a worker outside the hospital's fever clinic told Reuters.
"This wave is almost over," said the worker, who was wearing a hazmat suit. A pharmacist whose store is next to the hospital said most people in the city had now been infected and recovered.
"It is mainly old people who are getting sick with it now," he said. In the first indication of the toll on China's giant manufacturing sector from the change in COVID policy, data on Saturday showed factory activity shrank for the third straight month in December and at the sharpest pace in nearly three years.

50-70 pc of those under 19 years globally still susceptible to SARS-CoV-2: Study
- Country:
- United Kingdom
Fifty to 70 per cent ''children'' below 19 years globally were susceptible to the SARS-CoV-2 infection by the end of 2021 and before the Omicron wave, showing a need for more effective vaccines and better vaccination coverage, according to a study.
It also found that worldwide seroprevalence estimates varied from 7.3 per cent in the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic to 37.6 per cent in the fifth wave and 56.6 per cent in the sixth wave.
The highest seroprevalences in different pandemic waves were estimated for South-East Asia -- 17.9 to 81.8 per cent -- and the African region -- 17.2 to 66.1 per cent -- while the lowest seroprevalence was estimated for the Western Pacific region between 0.01 and 1.01 per cent, the study said.
Seroprevalence estimates were higher in children at older ages, in those living in underprivileged countries or regions, and in those of minority ethnic backgrounds, the study published in eClinicalMedicine said.
Seroprevalence was defined as the number of children who tested positive for specific anti-SARS-CoV-2 serum antibodies, using a well-designated threshold in the assay, divided by the total number of children tested, it said.
Scientists conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis in which they searched international and pre-printed scientific databases from December 1, 2019, to July 10, 2022, said the study, conducted to assess SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence and determinants in children worldwide.
They searched databases such as PubMed, Embase, Web of Science Core Collection, and Scopus and preprint repositories such as MedRxiv, BioRxiv and SSRN for articles.
The higher hospitalisation rates of those aged zero to 19 years, referred to as ''children'' by the study, observed since the emergence of the immune-evasive Omicron variant and sub-variants along with the persisting vaccination disparities, highlighted a need for in-depth knowledge of SARS-CoV-2 sero-epidemiology in children, scientists involved in the study said.
Pooled seroprevalences were estimated according to World Health Organization (WHO) regions using random-effects meta-analyses, the study said.
''Findings indicate that, by the end of 2021 and before the Omicron wave, around 50–70 per cent of children globally were still susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection, clearly emphasising the need for more effective vaccines and better vaccination coverage among children and adolescents, particularly in developing countries and minority ethnic groups,'' it said.
The study said associations with SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence and sources of heterogeneity were investigated using sub-group and meta-regression analyses. The protocol used in this study has been registered in PROSPERO (CRD42022350833).
The study included 247 publications containing 302 datasets involving 7,57,075 children from 70 countries in six WHO-defined regions. Most of the datasets, 144, were from Europe, and the least, 14, were from the Western Pacific region, the study said.
The rapid transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant has led to unprecedented COVID-19 cases and hospitalisation, especially among children.
The lower risk of disease in children ''pre-Omicron'', combined with concerns about vaccine safety and parental hesitancy, led to limited vaccine uptake and slow implementation of vaccination in children globally, particularly for children under 12 years of age.
Vaccines for children were also largely inaccessible in many parts of the world that were lagging behind in the vaccination of adults, particularly in low and middle-income countries. To date, children remain the largest unvaccinated group worldwide, the study noted.
With the emergence of Omicron, an increasing number of children requiring critical care have been observed in developed countries such as the US, England and Germany, with sufficient vaccine supplies, it said.
There is evidence that available vaccines do not protect children adequately against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron infection and the waning of both natural infection and vaccine protection are well documented.
The scientists said against this background and the race for the development of a new generation of vaccines that protect against a wide range of variants, including new ones, ''we aimed to provide estimates for the proportion of children with detectable antibodies and to identify sources of heterogeneity in SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence in children for various regions of the world''.

India, Sri Lanka are bonded together by Buddhism
A delegation of high-ranking Sri Lankan Buddhist monks, who were on a pilgrimage to Bodh Gaya to attend discourses of the holy city, has recalled the historical Buddhist connections between the two maritime neighbours.

A delegation of high-ranking Sri Lankan Buddhist monks, who were on a pilgrimage to Bodh Gaya to attend discourses of the holy city, have recalled the historical Buddhist connections between the two maritime neighbours. Their five-day spiritual visit included discourses and Dharma talks.
Venerable Muruddeniya Dhammarathana, Thero of the Asgiri Chapter said, "We know that emperor Ashoka's son Arahat Mahinda introduced Buddhism to Sri Lanka. From that day up to now, Buddhism is the main religion in Sri Lanka'." "Not only Buddhism we got a lot of things through him, especially our religion and also our education and other techniques. We got a lot from Buddhism so we greatly appreciate the situation, and we always respect India as a Buddhist motherland and also as our Elder brother of Sri Lanka because India always helped us even at present we have economic troubles going on," he added.
The members of the Buddhist Sangha representing eminent monasteries in Sri Lanka attended the three-day holy teachings of His Holiness Dalai Lama in Bodh Gaya. The Most Venerable Makulewe Wimala Mahanayake Thero, Chief Prelate of Sri Lanka Ramanna Maha Nikaya remembers how Lord Buddha visited Sri Lanka and the spread of Buddhism during the reign of Emperor Ashoka.
"The Buddhist philosophy was born in India and Buddha lived in India. So, according to history, the Buddha visited the only foreign land and that is Sri Lanka. He visited Sri Lanka three times. During emperor Ashoka's time, he sent Buddhist missionaries like his own son and daughter to Sri Lanka and they established Buddhist rule and culture. Since then we have been sharing the same culture and tradition. Now, we have become a Buddhist country because of that," he said. Theravada Buddhism is the largest and official religion of Sri Lanka, practised by roughly 70 per cent of the population.
Most Ven Niyangoda Vijithasiri Anunayake Thero, Deputy Chief Prelate (Anunayake) of Malwatte Chapter Siyam Maha Nikaya, said that India and Sri Lanka share almost the same culture that brings the two countries closer. "In our chronicles, we have Mahavamsa chronicles. We protect Buddhism in its pristine purity which means sasna, dhamma, rituals and everything. That is our heritage. I think it is from Indian ancestors and otherwise, our Sinhala Language i.e., Palli is also very close to the Sanskrit language. Actually, we respect the two languages. Our teachers told us that our mother tongue is both Palli and Sanskrit," he said.
Ven. Muruddeniya Dhammarathana said the young generation in Sri Lanka knows the historical significance through their textbooks. "In our school textbooks, Buddhist places introduced for the children. Not only that, we have Sunday school, a Dhamma school, where we also teach kids the background of Buddhism, where was the Buddha born, and the source and situation at that time, and where are the holy places," he said.
A large number of monks from Sri Lanka and other countries visit India to learn about Buddhism and its teachings. Most Venerable Waskaduwe Mahindawansa Mahanayake Thero, Mahanayake Thero, Sri Sambuddha Sasanodaya Sangha Sabha said, "Now, at the moment, 18 Buddhist young monks from Sri Lanka are in India. They will be here for a month, travelling all across India".
"Not only from Sri Lanka, a group of Buddhist monks from Thailand and a group of Tibetan Buddhist monks and a group from Myanmar are in India right now," he said. "India is the birthplace of Buddhism. So, these young monks are travelling across India which will create many connections in the future", he added.
Such visits prove to be a turning point in Buddhist relations, not only with Sri Lanka and India but with other neighbouring countries. (ANI)

Sri Lankan Buddhist monks seek Dalai Lama's visit, blessings to overcome economic crisis
A group of high-ranking Sri Lankan Buddhist Monks, who were on a recent pilgrimage to Bodh Gaya, seeks the visit of His Holiness Dalai Lama to Sri Lanka.
- Country:
- India
A group of high-ranking Sri Lankan Buddhist Monks, who were on a pilgrimage to Bodh Gaya recently, is now seeking His Holiness Dalai Lama's visit to Sri Lanka, which is reeling under a severe economic crisis. They met the Buddhist spiritual leader the Dalai Lama in Bodh Gaya on December 27 and were overwhelmed by witnessing a large gathering at the holy city.
Most Venerable Waskaduwe Mahindawansa Mahanayake Thero, Mahanayake Thero, Sri Sambuddha Sasanodaya Sangha Sabha told ANI in an interview, "His Holiness (the Dalai Lama) came to India and people should know why he came to India. Why he settled down in India? India helped His Holiness, and now because of His Holiness, we know thousands of tourists are in Bodh Gaya." He added, "These days, Bodh Gaya is very cold and people usually don't come, but people are there because of His Holiness. Bodh Gaya is benefitted in many ways. Is Tibet benefitted? We should think about this part also".
The high-ranking monk wished the Dalai Lama to visit Sri Lanka and help to overcome the economic hardships his country has been facing currently. "I believe, like His Holiness has been to Bodh Gaya. If he goes to Sri Lanka, many thousands of tourists will come to Sri Lanka which will boost the economy because we are in a crisis situation. And, if His Holiness goes to Sri Lanka, many tourists will come here similar to Bodh Gaya. We will be blessed and the economy will also be boosted", he said.
Most Ven Makulewe Wimala Mahanayake Thero, Chief Prelate of Sri Lanka Ramanna Maha Nikaya was also overwhelmed to meet the Dalai Lama. He said, "His Holiness the Dalai Lama is a spiritual leader and we were very happy to meet him there. We have an understanding of spiritual activities. So, Mahasangha from Sri Lanka is happy to see what his Holiness is doing". Ven. Muruddeniya Dhammarathana, Thero of the Asgiri Chapter said, "Actually we are very happy, Bodh Gaya is like our motherland because Lord Buddha got enlightenment there and always that place too much. This is not my first-time visit; I have visited 2-3 times before. Especially yesterday and the day before yesterday there was an important event, we were lucky to meet his holiness Dalai Lama and a lot of Lamas and monks from different parts of the world".
He added, "We saw thousands of people there, especially to listen to his holiness Dalai Lama's speech. We were very happy seeing and listening to his teaching and again we were so lucky to come and worship the holy Bodhi tree. I think this is a very good chance we are here". Sri Lanka is still recovering from an unprecedented financial crisis it faced in 2022 that also sparked political turmoil in the island nation. India extended much-needed help to a neighbor in need by providing financial assistance of nearly 4 billion USD during the year.
The high-ranking Sri Lankan Buddhist Monks on their visit to India thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the help and also sought the blessings of their spiritual leader HH Dalai Lama to overcome the challenges. (ANI)

Sri Lanka stares at food shortage, President Wickremesinghe asks for help
The critical situation of the currency crisis in Sri Lanka has resulted in political, economic and social turmoil.

The critical situation of the currency crisis in Sri Lanka has resulted in political, economic and social turmoil. Further, this currency collapse has resulted in a rise in food prices by 100 per cent in two years. Amid all this, President Ranil Wickremesinghe has sought support, The Island Online reported. In Sri Lanka around 40 per cent of households depend on agriculture. And two out of ten homes have suffered income reduction from June to December 2022. And to recover from the income reduction one out of two households use negative coping mechanisms like loans to cope with the lack of food or money to buy it, according to The Island Online English-language daily in Sri Lanka.
And in addition to this, the salaries and incomes in the country are not able to cope making it difficult to afford food. Further, The Island Online report states that in Sri Lanka it typically takes about two years to recover from a currency crisis. "Immediate action to provide farmers with quality seeds, fertilisers and pesticides will enable them to protect their livelihoods and feed their communities. It is also critical to provide the most vulnerable farmers, livestock keepers and fishers with cash assistance to enable them to restore their productive assets and fast-track their recovery," an FAO report said.
The production in agriculture saw a slump since mid-2021. As the country faces major shortages of fertilizers and other essential production inputs; livestock keepers cannot access feed and basic veterinary supplies, and fishermen cannot access fuel for motorised boats, The Island Online reported. The Island Online quoted president Wickremesinghe who on December 16 this year requested support from everyone keeping aside political differences. He emphasized that everyone should forget their differences and dedicate themselves to building the country's economy.
He said that "In the year 2023, there is a possibility of a food shortage. We started the food security program to deal with that. I suggest that a review of the implementation of this program be done again in each divisional secretariat. Here you can get new data. Accordingly, we are proceeding with the food security program in a formal manner. This program will not end after 2023. We will continue to do so. Local councils have representatives from each political party. But we all have to implement this program together,", according to The Island Online report. Wickremesinghe also mentioned that they have been able to provide fertilisers needed by the farmers. And with the success of the crop season, they have a surplus of rice. Although they had identified the problems like insufficient storage facilities.
"We are also working to solve those problems. At the same time, we have taken measures to control the price of paddy," he added. These steps may result in the recovery of the country from food shortages and economic problems. (ANI)

J&K DGP hints at legal action against Pak-based Hizbul supremo Syed Sallahuddin, other terrorists
- Country:
- India
Jammu and Kashmir's Director General of Police (DGP) Dilbag Singh hinted on Saturday that action could be taken against Syed Sallahuddin, the Pakistan-based supreme commander of the Hizbul Mujahideen terror group, and said dossiers have been prepared of almost all the local terrorists operating from across the border.
He dismissed People's Democratic Party (PDP) president Mehbooba Mufti's remarks that hundreds of youngsters are languishing in jails as draconian anti-terror laws, such as the UAPA, are slapped ruthlessly in Kashmir on ''flimsy and trivial grounds'', saying it is a ''personal perception'' and adding that ''we are open to any kind of scrutiny''.
''The day is not far away,'' the DGP said at the year-end press conference here in response to a question on whether police are planning to take action against Sallahuddin, India's most wanted terrorist, similar to the demolition of the house of Ashiq Nengroo, the Pakistan-based commander of terror outfit Jaish-e-Muhammad (JeM), and an extended portion of the house of Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist Ghulam Nabi Khan alias ''Amir Khan'' in south Kashmir.
''Many of them were earlier sitting in Pakistan and carrying on terrorist activities and were not brought into the ambit of certain legal provisions.... Now, dossiers have been prepared against most of them and they have already been notified as individual terrorists,'' the police chief said, adding, ''Further action as per law will follow against them.'' He said in order to put an end to terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir, it is vital to take strict action against the terror ecosystem.
''We have booked 649 terror supporters under the Public Safety Act (PSA) this year, besides seizing 50 vehicles used to transport terrorists and weapons. Twenty-eight houses and other buildings used to provide shelter to terrorists were also sealed,'' the DGP said.
He said the anti-terror Special Investigation Agency is now more than a year old and has done a tremendous job in probing criminal activities, especially the cases registered under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).
''We have augmented crime-dealing capabilities.... After finding that the UAPA cases have increased with 1,350 still under investigation, we have set up special investigation units (SIUs) at the district level in both Kashmir and Jammu divisions to speed up the probe in UAPA cases,'' he said.
On the use of bulldozers to demolish properties linked to terrorists, Singh said, ''Bulldozers were used for selective action. Where it is important, we will only use the machines there.'' Asked about Mufti's letter to Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud and her remarks against the alleged misuse of the UAPA, the DGP said, ''It must be her personal perception. Every act of police, including the registration and investigation of any case, falls under the scrutiny of the courts. We are open to any kind of scrutiny.''

2022: Twin-tower demolition, conflicts in housing societies and Yogi breaking 'Noida jinx'
- Country:
- India
The demolition of Supertech's two 100-metre tall towers was a modern day engineering spectacle that trumped every other news in Noida in 2022, a year also marked by viral video clips of conflicts in housing societies and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath breaking a jinx.
Emerging from the shadows of second and third waves of the COVID-19 pandemic, lakhs of Gautam Buddh Nagar residents took part in the assembly elections to the three seats of Noida, Dadri and Jewar in February.
The results were announced in March, with BJP's Pankaj Singh, Tejpal Nagar and Dhirendra Singh successfully retaining the three seats, respectively.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Adityanath also broke the three-decade-old ''Noida jinx'' as he stormed to power for a second time in a row. Since Veerendra Bahadur Singh's ouster as chief minister in 1988 after a trip here, a superstition was nurtured that any chief minister visiting Noida would be out of power. Earlier, chief ministers Kalyan Singh, Mulayam Singh Yadav and Rajnath Singh avoided trips to Noida during their tenures. However, Mayawati, who visited Noida as chief minister, lost to akhilesh Yadav in the 2012 assembly polls. Though Yadav avoided visiting Noida during his tenure, he lost to Adityanath in 2017. Adityanath visited Noida around a dozen times and culminated his 2022 assembly poll campaign for first phase in Jewar here, breaking the so-called jinx.
The year also Noida' first police commissioner, Alok Singh, being transferred after a nearly three-year-long stint. Senior IPS officer Laxmi Singh was appointed to the post on November 29.
In the first half of 2022, authorities in Noida remained busy preparing for the ultimate showdown – the demolition of Supertech's twin towers in Sector 93 A on August 28. The demolition was ordered by the Supreme Court on August 31, 2021, after it held that they were built in violation of building bye-laws.
The Apex and Ceyane towers, both nearly 100-metre-tall, were razed to the ground in just nine seconds in a carefully choreographed demolition by Mumbai's Edifice Engineering with its South Africa partner Jet Demolitions.
The eye-popping demolition took three to four tonnes of explosives filled in over 9,600 holes drilled in the skeletal structures of the two towers that had come up on Emerald Court society premises illegally and blocked sunlight, air ventilation for adjoining residents. Social and mainstream media was inundated with videos of the demolition, that left behind a cloud of dust and tonnes of rubble.
In a city often dubbed as a ''concrete jungle'', two residents of the Grand Omaxe society in Sector 93B on August 5 got into a quarrel over the plantation of exotic palm plants. While a woman opposed the plantation in the common area, a little-known politician insisted on it and hurled expletives at her.
Shortly after the conflict, a video clip surfaced on social media and went viral. Within hours the politician, Shrikant Tyagi, was in the dock for his actions.
What followed was police action and Tyagi, who claimed allegiance to the BJP, went into hiding for four days. He was arrested on August 9 and slapped with charges such as assault and cheating as well as booked under the Gangsters Act. The BJP, however, maintained that Tyagi was not associated with the party.
Senior BJP leader and Gautam Buddh Nagar MP Mahesh Sharma was also seen wading into the controversy with his visit to the society, demanding strict action against Tyagi. The leader's entry into the episode did not go down well with the Tyagi community, considered an influential votebank in western Uttar Pradesh and traditional supporter of the BJP.
Almost two months later, Tyagi walked out of jail, with the court quashing most of the serious charges against him, including those under the Gangsters Act.
The year was also peppered with disputes, including human-animal conflict, in some housing societies. Some of video clips that went viral and prompted police action included a drunk woman lawyer assaulting and hurling casteist slurs at a private guard at Jaypee Wishtown, a Greater Noida man assaulting an armed security guard in Gaur City mall, a Palm Olympia resident being assaulted near his home and two factions clashing at Hyde Park in Noida over society elections.
In October, a seven-month-old child of a daily wage earning couple was mauled to death by a stray dog inside Lotus Boulevard society in Noida, while cases of canines biting children and adults were reported throughout the year, prompting local authorities to come up with dog policies.
Alarmed by the situation, the Noida Authority as well as the Greater Noida Authority by year-end brought policies for feeding stray dogs and made registration of pet dogs mandatory.
On the environment front, this year turned out better than 2021 in terms of air quality for Noida, Greater Noida, according to an official.
The pollution control board recommended imposition of fines to the tune of Rs 1.40 crore in various cases of violation of norms in 2022, the official said.
The construction of the Noida International Airport, whose foundation was laid by Prime Minister Narendra Modi last year, continued in full-swing in 2022. The first phase of the Greenfield project is expected to be completed by September 2024.
''We are on schedule to deliver the project as per the terms and conditions of the concession agreement,'' Christoph Schnellmann, the CEO of Yamuna International Airport Private Limited, which is developing the airport, said in November.

Court upholds 2 years imprisonment for subjecting wife to cruelty
- Country:
- India
A sessions court here has upheld the order of a magisterial court awarding two years imprisonment to a man for subjecting his wife to cruelty.
The court was hearing an appeal by Kirori Mal, who was sentenced to two years imprisonment by a Mahila court here after being convicted under Section 498 A (husband or relative of husband of a woman subjecting her to cruelty) of the Indian Penal Code.
There was no evidence on record to disbelieve the wife's testimony, the court said.
Mahila Courts are special courts set up to deal exclusively with cases of offences against women.
"In view of the nature of allegations and the impact of the offence upon respondent no.2 (the wife) as well as upon society, this court finds that the trial court had rightly sentenced the appellant.
''Accordingly, the impugned order on sentence dated January 8, 2019, does not require any interference," Additional Sessions Judge Jagminder Singh said in a recent order.
The judge also said there was no illegality or infirmity in the conviction order, and the magisterial court had "rightly convicted" him.
"The present appeal…is without any merits and same stands dismissed," the judge added.
The court said that the wife in her complaint as well as in the evidence before the court mentioned the incidents of harassment by her husband and family members regarding the demand for dowry.
"In addition to mental torture, she has also been subjected to physical torture and this fact has been corroborated by the medico-legal case (MLC)," the court said.
It said according to the MLC, the wife had suffered multiple injuries and the magisterial court had rightly observed that she was "brutally beaten" by her husband.
There was no evidence on record to disbelieve the wife's testimony, the court said.
Najafgarh police station had registered an FIR against Kirori Mal on the basis of the wife's statement.

The last day of 2022 is upon us and it was quite an eventful year for the New York Mets. There were some huge highs, such as a 101-win season that snapped a six-year postseason drought, and some rather dreadful lows. Let’s take a look back at the top stories for the New York Mets in 2022.
March 12
The Mets kicked off their post-lockout moves by swinging a trade with the Oakland A’s for starting pitcher Chris Bassitt. The deal, which saw prospects J.T. Ginn and Adam Oller head to Oakland, ended up giving the Mets their most reliable starter for 2022.
April 7
Pressed into emergency duty thanks to injuries to Jacob deGrom and Max Scherzer, Tylor Megill tosses five shutout innings as the Mets beat the Washington Nationals 3-0 to secure an Opening Day win. The Mets win three out of four to set their year off on a strong note.
April 15
The Mets kick off their home opener in style as they blow out the Arizona Diamondbacks 10-3 on Jackie Robinson Day at Citi Field. Francisco Lindor homered from both sides of the plate in the game while Robinson Cano and Starling Marte also went deep.
April 25
Trailing by two runs in the top of the ninth and down to their final out, the Mets rally for five runs to stun the St. Louis Cardinals and pick up a 5-2 victory. Dominic Smith’s two-run infield single gave the Mets a lead which Brandon Nimmo expanded with a two-run homer.
April 29
Megill and four other pitchers combine to no-hit the Philadelphia Phillies on a wild Friday night at Citi Field. Edwin Diaz strikes out J.T. Realmuto swinging to end the night as the Mets secured a 3-0 win.
May 7
Down 7-1 with two outs in the ninth inning, the Mets rallied again for a stunning comeback to beat the Phillies 8-7 in the team’s biggest rally of the year. Marte delivered the final blow with an RBI double off of Knebel to put the Mets in front in a game they really had no business wining.
May 18
The Mets beat the St. Louis Cardinals at Citi Field but lose Scherzer to an oblique injury. The issue sends Scherzer to the injured list for six weeks but the Mets manage to survive without him.
July 10
The All-Star teams are named and four different Mets get picked to represent the National League: first baseman Pete Alonso, second baseman Jeff McNeil, Marte and Diaz. McNeil ends up starting the game after Jazz Chisholm had to withdraw due to injury.
July 27
Marte delivers a walk-off hit as the Mets sweep the New York Yankees in the Subway Series. The win gives the Mets bragging rights in New York for the next month.
August 2
The Mets complete a lackluster trade deadline by only acquiring infielder Darin Ruf and reliever Mychal Givens to address huge needs. GM Billy Eppler defends his decisions by saying that the moves were designed not to shortchange the Mets’ odds of winning in the future.
August 2
deGrom returns from the injured list and looks sharp, allowing one run in five innings of work. The Mets don’t give him enough run support, however, and lose 5-1.
August 7
deGrom’s first start at home since the middle of 2021 turns into a cause for celebration as the Mets defeat the Atlanta Braves 5-2 to win four out of five against their red-hot rivals. The victory extends the Mets’ lead in the National League East to 6.5 games.
August 21
