Biden to sign executive order aimed at protecting travel for abortion
WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden on Wednesday will sign an executive order aimed in part at making it easier for women seeking abortions to travel between states to obtain access to the procedure.
More specifically, one of the directives Biden will issue will allow states that have not outlawed abortion to apply for specific Medicaid waivers that would, in effect, help them treat women who have traveled from out of state.
The order will also call on health care providers to comply with federal nondiscrimination laws and streamline the collection of key data and information on maternal health at the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The details were described by senior administration officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the executive order ahead of a formal announcement.
State by state: Abortion laws across the U.S.
Biden, who continues to isolate in the White House residence after a rebound case of COVID-19, will sign the executive order as he helps launch a federal task force on access to reproductive care, led by Vice President Kamala Harris, the officials said.
The new order nonetheless falls short of what many Democratic lawmakers and abortion advocacy groups have demanded of the Biden administration since the Supreme Court’s decision overturning the landmark 1973 ruling Roe vs. Wade. One chief ask has been for Biden to declare a public health emergency on abortion, which White House officials have said would do little to free up federal resources or activate new legal authorities.
Wednesday’s order is the latest in a series of executive actions from the Biden administration since the constitutional right to an abortion was eliminated in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization in June.
Separately, on Tuesday, the Justice Department sued Idaho over its statute that criminalizes abortions, with Attorney General Merrick Garland arguing that it violates federal law. | https://www.fox35orlando.com/news/biden-executive-order-protect-travel-abortion-august-3-2022 | 2022-08-03T15:01:59 | en | 0.953949 |

Dolly Parton among Carnegie Medal of Philanthropy winners
NEW YORK - Country superstar Dolly Parton, who made a big donation to help fund coronavirus vaccine research in 2020, is among this year's Carnegie Medal of Philanthropy recipients.
Also being honored are Dallas entrepreneur Lyda Hill, Kenyan industrialist Manu Chandaria, and Lynn and Stacy Schusterman, from the Oklahoma investment family.
The award, presented by the international family of Carnegie institutions to honor innovative philanthropists, debuted in 2001 and is normally awarded every two years. It was not issued in 2021 due to the pandemic.

The 2022 honorees will receive their medals in a private ceremony in New York on Oct. 13. A priority of the ceremony is fostering personal meetings to encourage the exchange of ideas and spur potential collaboration — something this year’s honorees have already done, said Eric Isaacs, president of the Carnegie Institution for Science and a member of the medal selection committee.
Parton’s $1 million donation to Vanderbilt University Medical Center has received plenty of attention. But her fellow honoree Hill, through her Lyda Hill Philanthropies, was also an early donor to the work that would yield the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.
"I invested before it was anything," Hill told The Associated Press. "One of the things that Warren Buffett said that stuck with me was, ‘Don’t do what other people can do and will do. Do what other people can’t do and won’t do. And take risks.’ I have had to apply that to my philanthropic investments."

Hill, who focuses her funding on advances in science and nature conservancy, as well as supporting women in those careers, said she never did get a Moderna shot.
"Unfortunately," Hill said, "when I went to get my vaccine, I rolled my sleeves up and said, ‘What do you got?’ And she said, ‘Pfizer.’ I said, ‘OK.’"
Parton, in a statement, said she was honored to receive the Carnegie Medal of Philanthropy.
"I’ve always believed that if you are in a position to help, you should help, and I truly hope that I can be an inspiration for others to lift up those around them," said Parton, who will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in November, and makes most of her donations through her Dollywood Foundation.

"Whether through my Imagination Library or giving to COVID-19 research, I try to support things that have a special meaning for me. I hope everyone can find something they’re passionate about supporting and do what they can to help make this world a better place."
Considering the intense need created by COVID-19, the pandemic was top of mind while the selection committee was making its decisions, Isaacs said.
"Obviously, this is a very difficult time with the pandemic," he said. "But we think environmental issues are probably equally, if not more, impactful in the sense that pandemics like COVID-19 are likely to become more frequent as the atmosphere heats up. I think we take the long view in terms of our selections."
The Schustermans exemplify philanthropists whose donations have made a long-lasting impact, in addition to making timely grants to address current needs.
The Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation was established in 1987 to invest in systemic change in the United States and Israel on matters of justice and equity. When Charles died in 2000, Lynn Schusterman took over the foundation, expanding its work and becoming an outspoken advocate for inclusion, especially for the LGBTQ community.
In 2018, their daughter Stacy Schusterman took over the foundation, which changed its name last year to Schusterman Family Philanthropies and now also includes work in reproductive equity, voting rights and criminal justice — all hot-button issues this summer.
"I hope that work like this will inspire other people to give more now," Stacy Schusterman told the AP. "It’s important for people to give a meaningful percentage of their family’s assets. And I think the partnership that can exist between philanthropy and the communities that we’re seeking to help is vital. Government can’t address all problems."
She said she’s thrilled to be carrying on her parents’ work and that she will be celebrated with her mom. "I’m really excited that we’re being honored together," she said. "It’s fun to have it happen as a mother-daughter team."
The Chandaria Foundation had its start as a family enterprise in the 1950s, though the Kenyan-born industrialist of Indian descent had to do some convincing before it began.
When he first brought up the issue, Chandaria remembers his father asking if something was wrong with him and whether he had lived in the United States too long. "We are not the Rockefellers," Chandaria’s father told him. "You better get to work. There’s a big hole over there."
But by 1956, they had established a charitable organization providing scholarships in Kenya and, decades later, its work has expanded into building education and healthcare infrastructure in Africa.
"It’s a basic principle of the Gandhian philosophy: If you have wealth, you are not owners of the wealth," said Chandaria, who also attributes generosity to being a follower of the Indian religion Jainism. "You really should go and help others who cannot help themselves."
Isaacs said the Carnegie Medal of Philanthropy is meant to recognize the work of the honorees in their various fields and locations. This year, the Carnegie institutions will also launch the Carnegie Catalyst award to "celebrate the transformative power of human kindness," which will go to World Central Kitchen, the anti-hunger nonprofit founded by chef Jose Andres.
That award was inspired by the late Vartan Gregorian, the president of the Carnegie Corporation of New York and the co-founder of the Carnegie Medal of Philanthropy, who died in 2021.
"World Central Kitchen is an outstanding model of how humankind can respond in times of dire need by activating the inherent goodness in others — an ideal that was embodied through the life and work of Vartan Gregorian," Thomas H. Kean, chairman of Carnegie Corporation of New York’s board of trustees and former governor of New Jersey, said in a statement. | https://www.fox35orlando.com/news/dolly-parton-carnegie-medal-philanthropy | 2022-08-03T15:02:12 | en | 0.974775 |

Florida's Space Coast gearing up for double launch day on Thursday
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Florida's Space Coast will be busy on Thursday with two planned rocket launches just hours apart.
First, United Launch Alliance (ULA) will send up an Atlas V rocket on a mission for the U.S. Space Force. Space command says the satellite will support missile warnings and provide real-time information for the government. It will reportedly be able to detect and report missile launches around the world.
Officials say this is the last spacecraft to find its home among five other satellites already in space.
"Equipped with powerful scanning and staring infrared surveillance sensors to protect our nation 24/7, the SBIRS spacecraft continue to serve as the tip of the spear for global missile warning as ballistic missile threats proliferate around the world," according to the ULA website. "These infrared sensors, and others in a constellation of persistent overhead satellites, collect data that allow the U.S. military to detect missile launches, support ballistic missile defense, expand technical intelligence gathering and bolster situational awareness on the battlefield."
This is the 95th Atlas V rocket launch.
Liftoff is scheduled for Thursday, Aug. 4 at 6:29 a.m. ET from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. You can watch it live during Good Day Orlando on FOX 35.
Several hours later, it will be SpaceX's turn.

The space company will send up a Falcon 9 rocket from Kennedy Space Center, launching the Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter for South Korea’s first lunar mission. It will orbit the moon for 1 year carrying an array of South Korean experiments and one U.S. built instrument.
"The objectives are to develop indigenous lunar exploration technologies, demonstrate a ‘space internet’, and conduct scientific investigations of the lunar environment, topography, and resources, as well as identify potential landing sites for future missions," Kennedy Space Center said.

Highland Park shooting suspect to appear in court nearly a month after parade massacre
WAUKEGAN, Ill. - The accused gunman in the Highland Park Fourth of July mass shooting is expected to appear in court Wednesday morning for his arraignment.
County authorities in Waukegan said 21-year-old Robert Crimo III will appear in person for his arraignment on 117 counts of murder, attempted murder and firearms violations.
Crimo was indicted by a grand jury for the Fourth of July parade shooting that killed seven people and wounded at least 30 others in Highland Park. Authorities said Crimo confessed after he was arrested while driving in North Chicago hours after the mass shooting.
SUBSCRIBE TO THE FOX 32 YOUTUBE CHANNEL
Police have video evidence of Crimo in the Highland Park area. They said he climbed onto the roof of a store and fired more than 80 rounds at the crowd.
Crimo confessed to have been planning the attack for weeks, police said.
He allegedly told investigators that he drove to Madison, Wisconsin, with thoughts of doing more harm.
The wounded ranged in age from 8 to 88. The Highland Park community is still trying to recover and remains in mourning for the victims.
There are special restrictions in place at the Lake County courthouse for Wednesday's hearing.

'Honor Killings' Trial: Victim's ex-boyfriend takes stand for 2nd day of testimony
DALLAS, Texas - The murder trial of Yaser Said will continue in a Dallas courtroom today.
The ex-boyfriend of Said's daughter Amina is expected to take the stand when testimony begins at 9 a.m. on Wednesday.
Investigators say Yaser Said murdered his two teenage daughters in 2008 in so-called ‘honor killings’ for dating outside their faith.
Said disappeared simultaneously with the girls' murders and eluded police and the FBI for 12 years before he was finally captured.
If convicted, he will face life in prison.
Yaser Said Trial Day One
In the first day of the trial, Said pleaded not guilty to the murder charges through his lawyer.
In opening statements, Prosecutors claimed the evidence shows Said murdered them, citing a 9-1-1 call from one of the victims claiming they were being attacked by their father.
"This is a case about a man possessed with possession and control," said Dallas County Prosecutor Lauren Black. "As they had more independence, that was less control for him."
Defense attorney Joe Patton claimed that no eyewitnesses or surveillance cameras Said at the crime scene and said the government focused on him because he was Muslim.
"The state wanted to convict Yaser Said for being Muslim in 2008," said defense attorney Joe Patton. "And the evidence does not support a capital murder conviction today at this trial."
Lewisville High School AP Teacher Renee Hopkins taught both Said daughters.
Hopkins said the girls confided in her about their home life, and Amina emailed her on December 21, 2007, days before they were killed.
The email said they were running away from their dad.
"I know that he will search until he finds us, and he will without any drama nor doubt kill us," the email read.
The teens’ boyfriends at the time both took the stand describing their relationships with the girls that were secret, they said, for their safety.
Erik Panmeno was Sarah’s boyfriend.
"She always thought something would happen," he said. "She made me promise multiple times that if something did happen, I would keep going."
"She was fearful she would be killed, correct?" Black asked.
"Yes," he replied.
The final person to testify was Edgar Ruiz, Amina’s boyfriend.
Ruiz says Amina’s last words to him were "you will never see me again."
"Do you think that’s because of a breakup?" Black asked.
"No," Ruiz said.
"Then why is she telling you that?" Black asked.
"She knew she was going to die," Ruiz said.
At the end of Tuesday’s testimony, Ruiz says he and his dad saw said driving his daughters in a taxi cab shortly before both teens were shot and killed, so they followed them but eventually stopped.
Later that evening, the girls were found shot in a taxicab, and Said was gone. | https://www.fox35orlando.com/news/honor-killings-trial-victims-ex-boyfriend-takes-stand-for-2nd-day-of-testimony | 2022-08-03T15:02:33 | en | 0.989913 |

Household credit card debt surges in second quarter, highest jump in over 20 years
Credit card debt held by American households surged by 13% on an annualized basis in the second quarter, representing the sharpest climb since 1999 as consumers increasingly rely on credit amid sky-high inflation.
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York's Quarterly Report on Household Debt and Credit released Tuesday shows total household debt reached $16.15 trillion at the end of June, an increase of $312 billion from the same quarter a year ago with mortgage, car loan and credit card balances all rising.
Mortgage balances climbed by $207 billion to $11.39 trillion, auto loans rose by $33 billion to $199 billion, and credit card balances increased by $46 billion and are now just below pre-pandemic levels, according to the report. Student loan balances, which have been on pause since early on in the pandemic, remained relatively unchanged.
All told, non-housing balances increased by $103 billion (2.4%) from the first quarter, the greatest quarterly increase since 2016.
"The second quarter of 2022 showed robust increases in mortgage, auto loan, and credit card balances, driven in part by rising prices," said Joelle Scally, administrator of the Center for Microeconomic Data at the New York Fed.
JOB OPENINGS DIPPED IN JUNE, LABOR MARKET STILL TIGHT
"While household balance sheets overall appear to be in a strong position, we are seeing rising delinquencies among subprime and low-income borrowers with rates approaching pre-pandemic levels," Scally added.
The New York Fed said in a separate blog post that "With the supportive policies of the pandemic mostly in the past, there are pockets of borrowers who are beginning to show some distress on their debt," noting that "the delinquency transition rates for credit cards and auto loans are creeping up, particularly in lower-income areas." | https://www.fox35orlando.com/news/household-credit-card-debt-surges-in-second-quarter-highest-jump-in-over-20-years | 2022-08-03T15:02:39 | en | 0.966021 |

Kansas voters overwhelmingly reject abortion amendment ban
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - Kansas voters on Tuesday sent a resounding message about their desire to protect abortion rights, rejecting a ballot measure in a conservative state with deep ties to the anti-abortion movement that would have allowed the Republican-controlled Legislature to tighten restrictions or ban the procedure outright.
It was the first test of voter sentiment after the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in June that overturned the constitutional right to abortion, providing an unexpected result with potential implications for the coming midterm elections.
While it was just one state, the heavy turnout for an August primary that typically favors Republicans was a major victory for abortion rights advocates. With most of the vote counted, they were prevailing by roughly 20 percentage points, with the turnout approaching what's typical for a fall election for governor.
The vote also provided a dash of hope for Democrats nationwide grasping for a game-changer during an election year otherwise filled with dark omens for their prospects in November.
"This vote makes clear what we know: the majority of Americans agree that women should have access to abortion and should have the right to make their own health care decisions," President Joe Biden said in a statement.
Jae Gray, a field organizer with Kansans for Constitutional Freedom, posted signs at the watch party for election results Tuesday, Aug. 2, 2022, at the Overland Park Convention Center. The group was supporting a no vote on the constitutional amendmen
RELATED: Biden to sign executive order aimed at protecting travel for abortion
After calling on Congress to "restore the protections of Roe" in federal law, Biden added, "And, the American people must continue to use their voices to protect the right to women’s health care, including abortion."
The Kansas vote also provided a warning to Republicans who had celebrated the Supreme Court ruling and were moving swiftly with abortion bans or near-bans in nearly half the states.
"Kansans bluntly rejected anti-abortion politicians’ attempts at creating a reproductive police state," said Kimberly Inez McGuire, executive director of Unite for Reproductive & Gender Equity. "Today’s vote was a powerful rebuke and a promise of the mounting resistance."
The proposed amendment to the Kansas Constitution would have added language stating that it does not grant the right to abortion. A 2019 state Supreme Court decision declared that access to abortion is a "fundamental" right under the state’s Bill of Rights, preventing a ban and potentially thwarting legislative efforts to enact new restrictions.
The referendum was closely watched as a barometer of liberal and moderate voters’ anger over the Supreme Court's ruling scrapping the nationwide right to abortion. In Kansas, abortion opponents wouldn't say what legislation they'd pursue if the amendment were passed and bristled when opponents predicted it would lead to a ban.
Mallory Carroll, a spokesperson for the national anti-abortion group Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, described the vote as "a huge disappointment" for the movement and called on anti-abortion candidates to "go on the offensive."
She added that after the U.S. Supreme Court ruling, "We must work exponentially harder to achieve and maintain protections for unborn children and their mothers."
The measure’s failure also was significant because of Kansas' connections to anti-abortion activists. Anti-abortion "Summer of Mercy" protests in 1991 inspired abortion opponents to take over the Kansas Republican Party and make the Legislature more conservative. They were there because Dr. George Tiller's clinic was among the few in the U.S. known to do abortions late in pregnancy, and he was murdered in 2009 by an anti-abortion extremist.
Anti-abortion lawmakers wanted to have the vote coincide with the state's August primary, arguing they wanted to make sure it got the focus, though others saw it as an obvious attempt to boost their chances of winning. Twice as many Republicans as Democrats have voted in the state's August primaries in the decade leading up to Tuesday's election.
"This outcome is a temporary setback, and our dedicated fight to value women and babies is far from over," said Emily Massey, a spokesperson for the pro-amendment campaign.

The electorate in Tuesday’s vote wasn’t typical for a Kansas primary, particularly because tens of thousands of unaffiliated voters cast ballots.
Kristy Winter, 52, a Kansas City-area teacher and unaffiliated voter, voted against the measure and brought her 16-year-old daughter with her to her polling place.
"I want her to have the same right to do what she feels is necessary, mostly in the case of rape or incest," she said. "I want her to have the same rights my mother has had most of her life."
Opponents of the measure predicted that the anti-abortion groups and lawmakers behind the measure would push quickly for an abortion ban if voters approved it. Before the vote, the measure’s supporters refused to say whether they would pursue a ban as they appealed to voters who supported both some restrictions and some access to abortion.
Stephanie Kostreva, a 40-year-old school nurse from the Kansas City area and a Democrat, said she voted in favor of the measure because she is a Christian and believes life begins at conception.
"I’m not full scale that there should never be an abortion," she said. "I know there are medical emergencies, and when the mother’s life is in danger there is no reason for two people to die."
An anonymous group sent a misleading text Monday to Kansas voters telling them to "vote yes" to protect choice, but it was suspended late Monday from the Twilio messaging platform it was using, a spokesperson said. Twilio did not identify the sender.
The 2019 Kansas Supreme Court decision protecting abortion rights blocked a law that banned the most common second-trimester procedure, and another law imposing special health regulations on abortion providers also is on hold. Abortion opponents argued that all of the state’s existing restrictions were in danger, though some legal scholars found that argument dubious. Kansas doesn’t ban most abortions until the 22nd week of pregnancy.
The Kansas vote is the start of what could be a long-running series of legal battles playing out where lawmakers are more conservative on abortion than governors or state courts. Kentucky will vote in November on whether to add language similar to Kansas’ proposed amendment to its state constitution.
Meanwhile, Vermont will decide in November whether to add an abortion rights provision to its constitution. A similar question is likely headed to the November ballot in Michigan.

In Kansas, both sides together spent more than $14 million on their campaigns. Abortion providers and abortion rights groups were key donors to the "no" side, while Catholic dioceses heavily funded the "yes" campaign.
The state has had strong anti-abortion majorities in its Legislature for 30 years, but voters have regularly elected Democratic governors, including Laura Kelly in 2018. She opposed the proposed amendment, saying changing the state constitution would "throw the state back into the Dark Ages."
State Attorney General Derek Schmidt, a Republican hoping to unseat Kelly, supported the proposed constitutional amendment. He told the Catholic television network EWTN before the election that "there’s still room for progress" in decreasing abortions, without spelling out what he would sign as governor.
Although abortion opponents pushed almost annually for new restrictions until the 2019 state Supreme Court ruling, they felt constrained by past court rulings and Democratic governors like Kelly. | https://www.fox35orlando.com/news/kansas-abortion-amendment-ban-rejected-voters | 2022-08-03T15:02:47 | en | 0.972633 |

Kidnapped 12-year-old chews through restraints to escape; decomposing bodies found at captor's home
DADEVILLE, Ala. - A 12-year-old girl held captive in a rural Alabama residence escaped and was discovered walking along a road, prompting an investigation that led police to discover two decomposing bodies at the home where she had been kept, authorities said Tuesday.
José Paulino Pascual-Reyes, 37, was jailed on a kidnapping count, Tallapoosa County Sheriff Jimmy Abbett told a news conference. District Attorney Jeremy Duerr said "multiple" additional capital murder charges were likely.
A motorist driving through a rural residential area spotted a child on the road on Monday morning and stopped, authorities said. Court records indicate the child had been drugged and bound but managed to escape, WSFA-TV reported.
The driver picked up the girl and called 911, prompting an investigation and search that led to police officers finding two decomposing bodies inside the residence where Pascual-Reyes lived and the girl was believed to be held, Abbett said. Other people lived at the residence, but no one else was there when police arrived, he said.
According to WRBL, the girl was tied to bed posts inside the mobile home for more than a week and given alcohol to keep her in a drugged state. Detectives said she chewed through her restraints and damaged the braces on her teeth.
The man was arrested in Auburn, Abbett said. It wasn't clear what information the girl might have provided to authorities, but Abbett called her a hero.
Police didn't immediately release the names of the dead people or a cause of death, and court records didn't include the name of a defense lawyer who could speak on behalf of Pascual-Reyes.
Authorities didn't release any information about the girl, including whether she had any relationship to the suspect. She hadn't been reported missing, the sheriff said.
"We gave her medical attention,’’ Abbett said. "She is safe now, and so we want to keep her that way." | https://www.fox35orlando.com/news/kidnapping-tallapoosa-county-alabama-decomposing-bodies-jose-pascual-reyes | 2022-08-03T15:02:53 | en | 0.984015 |

Pelosi says US will not abandon Taiwan despite warnings from China
TAIPEI, Taiwan - U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, meeting leaders in Taiwan despite warnings from China, said Wednesday that she and other members of Congress in a visiting delegation are showing they will not abandon their commitment to the self-governing island.
"Today the world faces a choice between democracy and autocracy," she said in a short speech during a meeting with Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen. "America’s determination to preserve democracy, here in Taiwan and around the world, remains ironclad."
China, which claims Taiwan as its territory and opposes any engagement by Taiwanese officials with foreign governments, announced multiple military exercises around the island, parts of which will enter Taiwanese waters, and issued a series of harsh statements after the delegation touched down Tuesday night in the Taiwanese capital, Taipei.
Taiwan decried the planned actions.
"Such an act equals to sealing off Taiwan by air and sea, such an act covers our country’s territory and territorial waters, and severely violates our country’s territorial sovereignty," Capt. Jian-chang Yu said at a briefing by the National Defense Ministry.
The Chinese military exercises, including live fire, are to start Thursday and be the largest aimed at Taiwan since 1995, when China fired missiles in a large-scale exercise to show its displeasure at a visit by then-Taiwanese President Lee Teng-hui to the U.S.
China's official Xinhua News Agency announced the military actions Tuesday night, along with a map outlining six different areas around Taiwan. Arthur Zhin-Sheng Wang, a defense studies expert at Taiwan’s Central Police University, said three of the areas infringe on Taiwanese waters, meaning they are within 12 nautical miles (22 kilometers) of shore.
Using live fire in a country's territorial airspace or waters is risky, said Wang, adding that "according to international rules of engagement, this can possibly be seen as an act of war."
Pelosi's trip has heightened U.S.-China tensions more than visits by other members of Congress because of her high-level position as leader of the House of Representatives. She is the first speaker of the House to visit Taiwan in 25 years, since Newt Gingrich in 1997.
Taiwanese President Tsai responded Wednesday to Beijing's military intimidation.
"Facing deliberately heightened military threats, Taiwan will not back down," Tsai said at her meeting with Pelosi. "We will firmly uphold our nation’s sovereignty and continue to hold the line of defense for democracy."
Tsai, thanking Pelosi for her decades of support for Taiwan, presented the speaker with a civilian honor, the Order of the Propitious Clouds.
China's response has been loud and varied.

Shortly after Pelosi landed Tuesday night, China announced live-fire drills that reportedly started that night, as well as the four-day exercises starting Thursday.
The People's Liberation Army Air Force also flew a contingent of 21 war planes Tuesday night, including fighter jets, toward Taiwan. Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Xie Feng also summoned the U.S. ambassador in Beijing, Nicholas Burns, to convey the country's protests the same night.
Chinese state broadcaster CCTV published images of PLA drills and video Wednesday, although it was unclear where they were being conducted.
Pelosi addressed Beijing’s threats Wednesday morning, saying she hopes it’s clear that while China has prevented Taiwan from attending certain international meetings, "that they understand they will not stand in the way of people coming to Taiwan as a show of friendship and of support."
Pelosi noted that support for Taiwan is bipartisan in Congress and praised the island’s democracy. She stopped short of saying that the U.S would defend Taiwan militarily, emphasizing that Congress is "committed to the security of Taiwan, in order to have Taiwan be able to most effectively defend themselves."
Her focus has always been the same, she said, going back to her 1991 visit to Beijing's Tiananmen Square, when she and other lawmakers unfurled a small banner supporting democracy two years after a bloody military crackdown on protesters at the square. That visit was also about human rights and what she called dangerous technology transfers to "rogue countries."
Pelosi is visiting a human rights museum in Taipei that details the history of the island's martial law era later Wednesday before she departs for South Korea, the next stop on an Asia tour that also includes Singapore, Malaysia and Japan.
Pelosi, who is leading the trip with five other members of Congress, also met with representatives from Taiwan’s legislature.
"Madam Speaker’s visit to Taiwan with the delegation, without fear, is the strongest defense of upholding human rights and consolidation of the values of democracy and freedom," Tsai Chi-chang, vice president of Taiwan’s legislature, said in welcome.
The administration of U.S. President Joe Biden has sought to tone down the volume on the visit, insisting there’s no change in America’s longstanding "one-China policy," which recognizes Beijing but allows informal relations and defense ties with Taipei.
Pelosi said her delegation has "heft," including Gregory Meeks, chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and Raja Krishnamoorthi from the House Intelligence Committee.
She also mentioned Rep. Suzan DelBene, whom Pelosi said was instrumental in the passage of a $280 billion bill aimed at boosting American manufacturing and research in semiconductor chips — an industry that Taiwan dominates and is vital for modern electronics.
Reps. Andy Kim and Mark Takano are also in the delegation.

Eating ultra-processed food linked to faster cognitive decline in older adults, study says
SAN DIEGO - While most people are aware that consuming lots of processed frozen meals, hot dogs, and sugary drinks may not be best for your overall health, new research suggests that eating a large amount of these ultra-processed foods can greatly impact brain function over time.
The new study, presented this week at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference 2022 in San Diego, examined the eating habits of more than 10,000 adults in Brazil with an average age of 50.6 years. The participants answered questionnaires and were followed over an average of nine years.
Participants who ate more than 20% of their daily calorie intake from ultra-processed foods — or those with large amounts of fats, sugar, salt, artificial flavors, and preservatives — were more likely to have a decline in cognitive function, particularly memory and executive function.
Furthermore, men and women who ate the most ultra-processed foods in the study had a 28% faster rate of global cognitive decline and a 25% faster decrease in executive function, compared to those who reported eating less, co-investigator Natalia Goncalves, Ph.D., with the University of São Paulo Medical School, told Medscape Medical News.
"Ultra-processed foods make up more than half of American diets," said Percy Griffin, PhD, the director of scientific engagement for the Alzheimer’s Association, in a statement provided to FOX Television Stations. "It’s troubling but not surprising to see new data suggesting these foods can significantly accelerate cognitive decline."
Griffin added that the increase in availability and consumption of these ultra-processed foods is due to "a number of socioeconomic factors," including Americans having less access to healthy foods, less time to prepare them, and less money to afford them.
"There is growing evidence that what we eat can impact our brains as we age, and many studies suggest it is best for our brain to eat a heart-healthy, balanced diet low in processed foods, and high in whole, nutritional foods like vegetables and fruits," Griffin said in the statement.
Previous research links ultra-processed foods with range of health risks
The study, from researchers at the University of Sao Paulo, has not yet been peer-reviewed. However, other studies have brought similar results.
Research published July 27 in the medical journal American Academy of Neurology suggests that people who eat the highest amounts of ultra-processed foods may have a higher risk of developing dementia, compared to those who eat the lowest amounts.
In this study, researchers studied the eating habits of 72,000 people in the United Kingdom for an average of 10 years. After adjusting for age, gender, family history of dementia and heart disease, and other factors, the study found that for every 10% increase in daily intake of ultra-processed foods, people had a 25% higher risk of dementia.
"Ultra-processed foods are meant to be convenient and tasty, but they diminish the quality of a person’s diet," study author Huiping Li, PhD, of Tianjin Medical University in China, said in a statement. "These foods may also contain food additives or molecules from packaging or produced during heating, all of which have been shown in other studies to have negative effects on thinking and memory skills."
Two other large European studies published in 2019 by The BMJ linked eating highly processed foods with the risk of cardiovascular disease and death.
In the first study, researchers based in France and Brazil assessed potential associations between ultra-processed foods and the risk of conditions affecting the blood supply to the heart and brain. Results showed that an absolute 10% increase in the proportion of ultra-processed food in the diet was linked to significantly higher rates of overall cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease, and cerebrovascular disease.
In the second study, researchers based in Spain analyzed the association between ultra-processed food intake and the risk of death from any cause. The research showed that higher consumption of ultra-processed foods — more than four servings per day — was linked to a 62% increased risk of all-cause mortality, compared with those who ate less than two servings per day. For each additional daily serving of ultra-processed food, the risk of death from all causes relatively increased by 18%, according to the study.
Both research teams said policies that limit ultra-processed foods in the diet and instead promote eating unprocessed or minimally-processed foods are needed to improve public health worldwide.

- Country:
- India
The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) has detected customs duty evasion of around Rs 2,217 crore by smartphone maker Vivo India, a subsidiary of China-based Vivo Communication Technology, a Finance Ministry statement issued Wednesday said.
During the investigation, searches were conducted by DRI officers at the factory premises of Vivo India, which led to the recovery of incriminating evidence indicating wilful misdeclaration in the description of certain items imported by it for use in the manufacture of mobile phones, it said.
This misdeclaration resulted in wrongful availment of ineligible duty exemption benefits by Vivo India, amounting to Rs 2,217 crore, the statement said.
After completion of the investigation, a show cause notice has been issued to Vivo India demanding customs duty amounting to Rs 2,217 crore, under the provisions of the Customs Act, 1962, it added.
Rs 60 crore has been voluntarily deposited by Vivo India, towards discharge of their differential duty liability, the statement said.
Vivo Mobile India Private Limited or Vivo India is a subsidiary company of Vivo Communication Technology Co Ltd, Guangdong, China, and is engaged in the business of manufacturing, assembling, wholesale trading as well as distribution of mobile handsets and accessories.

New Delhi: The government on Wednesday said it will withdraw the contentious Personal Data Protection (PDP) Bill 2019 that has seen 81 amendments in the past three years and will introduce a new, sharper bill that fits fit into the comprehensive legal framework and protect the data of billions of citizens.
IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw told members of the Joint Committee of the Parliament (JCP) that the decision has been taken to protect the digital privacy of individuals and ensure the internet companies with utmost responsibility handle their data.
“The Personal Data Protection Bill, 2019 was deliberated in great detail by the Joint Committee of Parliament. 81 amendments were proposed and 12 recommendations were made towards a comprehensive legal framework on the digital ecosystem,” Vaishnaw said in a statement.
“Considering the report of the JCP, a comprehensive legal framework is being worked upon. Hence, in the circumstances, it is proposed to withdraw ‘The Personal Data Protection Bill, 2019’ and present a new bill that fits into the comprehensive legal framework,” he added.
The earlier bill drew intense scrutiny from privacy advocates, industry stakeholders and tech companies.
The IT Minister said that the decision to formulate a new Bill is to create a framework for organisational and technical measures in the processing of data, to lay down norms for social media platforms, cross-border transfer, accountability of entities processing data, remedies for unauthorised and harmful processing, to ensure the interest and security of the State and to establish a Data Protection Authority of India.
New Delhi-based privacy advocacy group Internet Freedom Foundation had said the bill “provides large exemptions to government departments, prioritises the interests of big corporations, and does not adequately respect your fundamental right to privacy”.
The Bill was first brought in 2019 and was then referred to the Joint Committee.
The JCP report identified many relevant issues but beyond the scope of modern digital privacy law.
Minister of State for IT and Electronics, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, said that the PDP bill “will soon be replaced by a comprehensive framework of global standard laws, including digital privacy laws for contemporary and future challenges”.
Privacy is a fundamental right of Indian citizens and a “$1 trillion dollar digital economy requires global standard cyber laws,” Chandrasekhar said in a tweet.
According to experts, a strong data protection law can tame the country’s social media platforms and internet platforms, the way the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the EU has achieved.
New Delhi-based cyberlaw expert Virag Gupta told IANS that several cases of data breaches and tax evasion by Chinese companies have been detected by Indian agencies.
“To protect the national interest, a strong data protection law is the need of the hour. After the withdrawal of this PDP bill, the government must come up with a new bill within the stipulated time frame which may balance the privacy rights with the interest of Indian industry,” Gupta emphasised.
The government, time and again, has told Internet intermediaries and social media platforms to comply with the law of the land. | https://www.siasat.com/81-amendments-later-personal-data-protection-bill-withdrawn-2382750/ | 2022-08-03T15:05:59 | en | 0.94621 |

Inox Leisure reports net profit of Rs 57 cr in Q1
- Country:
- India
Multiplex chain operator Inox Leisure Ltd on Wednesday reported a consolidated net profit of Rs 57.09 crore for the quarter ended June, led by rising footfalls at cinema halls.
The company had posted a net loss of Rs 122.28 crore in the April-June period a year ago, said Inox Leisure in a BSE filing.
Its revenue from operations during the quarter under review was at Rs 582.26 crore, up multi-fold in comparison to the low base of the corresponding quarter of the previous year when the cine exhibition industry was impacted due to the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Inox Leisure's revenue from operations in the April-June quarter of the last fiscal stood at Rs 22.31 crore.
Total expenses were at Rs 513.01 crore, up two-fold.
Inox reported its ''highest ever quarterly revenue'' and ''highest ever EBITDA and profit after tax''.
''Q1/FY23 witnessed the best-ever quarterly performance in the history of the company on the back of robust content line-up and rising footfalls,'' said Inox Leisure, which completed 20 years of operations in May this year.
During the April-June quarter, 18.4 million guests visited Inox cinemas and reported its highest ever ATP (Average Ticket Price) of Rs 229.
Besides, its advertising revenues were at Rs 30 crore, showing a ''steady recovery'', the company said.
''After facing a severe impact on business due to the pandemic in the last two years, the company reported its best-ever quarterly performance across majority metrics...,'' it said.
In Q1 FY23, Inox added three new properties with 17 screens. As of June 30, 2022, Inox Leisure was operating a network of 692 screens across 163 multiplexes in 73 cities. ''Screen addition will continue in FY23 with 13 properties and 60 screens in the pipeline,'' it added.

The Confederation of Indian Industry president Sanjiv Bajaj on Wednesday asked the Central government to contemplate reducing the personal income tax rates to spur economic activities.
The business tycoon also said the country's underlying growth drivers are strong and the economy would grow in the range of 7.4 per cent to 8.2 per cent in the next fiscal.
''Putting more money in the pockets of the consumers is of vital importance to revive consumption demand in the economy. The government should contemplate a reduction in the rates of personal income tax in its next push for reform as this would increase disposable incomes and revive the demand cycle,'' Bajaj, who is chief managing director of Bajaj Finserv, said in a press conference.
He was speaking to reporters as part of the CII's theme 2022-23 ''Beyond India @75: Growth competitiveness, sustainability and internationalisation''.
The CII is also organising 'Sankalp Se Siddhi' in the city, in which Union Home Minister Amit Shah will attend on Thursday.
''The Central and state capex are rising and tax buoyancy would support growth in FY23. Hence, on balance, CII has retained India's GDP forecast in a range of 7.4 to 8.2 per cent in FY23,'' Bajaj said.
He also said the CII believes that there is a lot that industry and CII could do themselves in taking India to a USD 40 trillion goal post by 2047. Bajaj also maintained that India needs to boost its forex reserves to revive the economy especially in view of the capital outflows by foreign institutional investors, prompted by an uncertain global economic environment. ''The government should work towards inclusion of some of the large market cap companies into the global equity indices like MSCI and FTSE indices, expedite India's entry into J P Morgan's Global Emerging-Market Bond Index and Barclays Global Bond Index, and consider bringing out a special issue of India Millennial Bonds like was done in 2008,'' he opined.
Replying to a query, he said the demonetisation gave a major push to the digital payment, which helped tide over the COVID-19 pandemic induced lockdown and its cascading effect on the economy.
According to him, the digital payment in India today is more than the digital payment in the United States of America and China put together.
With reference to the big boost to the digital payment in India, Bajaj said, ''If we can innovate for ourselves, we can do it for the world as well.'' The CII president also predicted that by 2027, some initiatives will make India a USD five trillion economy.
Bajaj underscored the importance of expanding the Production Linked Incentive Scheme (PLIS) and bringing more sectors within its ambit, especially those which are labour intensive and also in sectors where our imports are high.
The CII will continue to scale up its engagement in skilling and will skill 1.5 lakh youth and help place another two lakhs youth, improve manufacturing competitiveness by proposing to build a Cost of Doing Business (CoDB) Index, and work with the states to strengthen the national single window system, he said.

Kathmandu: Chinese Ambassador to Nepal Hou Yanqi said on Wednesday that his country highly appreciates Nepal’s longstanding commitment to the “one China” principle and resolute opposition to “Taiwan’s Independence”.
Issuing a statement after US Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan and muscle-flexing between US and the China continues, Beijing wants to see Nepal’s support in its direct confrontation against the US. But, the Nepal government has not made any official position on ongoing face-off between China and the US.
After completing the two-day Taiwan visit, Pelosi left for South Korea on Wednesday evening.
Ambassador Hou said that China and Nepal are good neighbors, trustworthy friends, and reliable partners linked by mountains and rivers. The two countries have always understood and supported each other on issues of core interests concerning respective sovereignty, security and territorial integrity, he said.
Nepal has time and again committed to the “one China” policy but Beijing often times expressed its discontent over Nepal’s commitment after one after another high-level visits from the US, Nepal’s acceptance of US grant under the Millennium Challenge Corporation among others.
The “one China” policy is also the political foundation of China-Nepal relations, said Hou adding that they believe that the government of Nepal and its people will continue to abide by the principle and understand and support China’s legitimate and justified position and work together with China to defend each other’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.
“The position of the Chinese Government and people on the Taiwan question has been consistent. It is the firm commitment of the more than 1.4 billion Chinese people to resolutely safeguard state sovereignty and territorial integrity. It is the common aspiration and sacred responsibility of all Chinese sons and daughters to realise the complete reunification of the motherland,” the Ambassador said.
China will definitely take all necessary measures to resolutely safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity in response to the US Speaker’s visit, she said. | https://www.siasat.com/china-says-it-appreciates-nepals-longstanding-commitment-to-one-china-policy-2382777/ | 2022-08-03T15:06:18 | en | 0.951879 |

New Delhi, Aug 3 (PTI) The conviction rate in cases registered under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act by the Centre is more than 94 per cent, Union Minister Nityanand Rai informed Rajya Sabha on Wednesday.
Responding to supplementaries during the Question Hour, Minister of State for Home Rai said the conviction rate in some categories such as “jihadi terrorism” and “Left-wing extremism” in which the Centre registered the cases was 100 per cent.
The total conviction rate in cases under the UAPA where the FIRs were registered by the Centre is 94.17 per cent, the minister said.
Rai, however, said that the conviction rate in cases registered by states under the UAPA during 2018-2020 has been low.
Responding to queries by some opposition members who cited data to target the government over low conviction rates, he said the states also use this law and the data in the written reply pertains to them.
As per government data, only 80 people were convicted out of 1,321 arrested under the law in 2020, a conviction rate of just six per cent.
Similarly in 2019, 34 persons were convicted against 1,948 arrested, a conviction rate of only 1.7 per cent. In 2018, 35 people were convicted out of 1,421 arrested under the UAPA, a conviction rate of 2.46 per cent.
“Religion-wise data regarding the number of people arrested under the UAPA is not maintained by the NCRB,” Rai said.
The minister asserted that the Modi government has adopted a policy of “zero tolerance” against terror activities. | https://www.siasat.com/conviction-rate-in-cases-registered-by-centre-under-uapa-94-17-pc-mos-home-rai-2382791/ | 2022-08-03T15:06:24 | en | 0.972913 |
New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The Great American Songbook is to Jazz, as are the works of Shakespeare to English literature: an indispensable foundation that has been crucial in shaping the development of a unique and influential art form. Composers such as
George and Ira Gershwin, Cole Porter and Richard Rodgers with
Lorenz Hart created a formidable repertoire of songs written for Broadway stage musicals and Hollywood movies that became the bedrock of singers and instrumentalists in Jazz's golden age. Though mainly written between the 1920s and 50s, the songs were so well-crafted in terms of their lyrics, melodies and arrangements that their appeal has crossed generations and musical genres. In this countdown of the 30 best jazz songs, expect eloquent break-up ballads, wistful reveries and exultant celebrations of love and romance.
James A. Norkawich has captured these songs in his latest release "
Yesterday" (Songs from The Great American Songbook) Volume 1 now on Spotify and all streaming sites, with videos for most of the songs on YouTube. The songs for Volume 1 of this songbook hold a lot of meaning to James.
James frequently reminds others, "Music is the soundtrack to our lives," and he certainly has captured the meaning and emotion of the music during that time.
Norkawich shares, "Music defines us, it shows us where we have been and where we are going. Have you ever listened to a song and said…I remember where I was, or what I was doing?
Music brings us back to a softer and sweeter time. It is up to us as artists to paint on a beautiful musical canvas and it's our job to honor the past and open the doors to the future."
Volume 2 promises to have more excitement musically because
James plans to bring the songs that really drive emotions. His goal is to generate thoughts and memories of a loved ones, capture the essence and beauty of romance or simply bring back music that meant something. The music not only had style and substance but also class and elegance.
Be sure to check out Norkawich's album "
Today" (Songs from The Great American Songbook) Volume 2 this
September 11th.
"Americans should take pride in the music that has come before us. We need a resurgence in what is good, pure, and clean and I feel these songs help speak our story, shape our dreams and define our future."

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The seventh studio album from Beyoncé is available worldwide July 29, on all major streaming platforms. From her own label Parkwood Entertainment and Columbia Records, RENAISSANCE arrives six years after the globally lauded LEMONADE was released in 2016 as a complete surprise.
The originator of the visual album format, and the preeminent visual artist, decided to lead without visuals giving fans the opportunity to be limitless in their expansive listening journey. It is a chance again to be listeners and not viewers, while taking in every gem of the pristine production. While "Break My Soul," the first single, arrived with a minimal lyric video, the release of RENAISSANCE sans visuals is another culture-shifting move from the artist who has defined an era with reinvention.
RENAISSANCE has been the most anticipated album of the year as Beyoncé shifted gears and notified her fans of new music on June 15 through an update in her bio on her social handles, "act i RENAISSANCE July 29." She continued the unconventional rollout with the release of the album's first single, "Break My Soul," which arrived at Midnight on the summer solstice. Instantly addicting with a pulsating beat, with lyrics that urge listeners to claim joy and to "release the wiggle." The single, a worldwide hit, has been called the song of the summer and an anthem for this generation.
Packed with rousing anthems that resonate with everybody, RENAISSANCE is a culmination of freedom and escape that encourages unimaginable jubilation, agency, and movement with abandon. The singular intent of RENAISSANCE, a reinvention of four on the floor, is to showcase music that stirs you from the soul and encourages your dancing feet. It is a celebration of a club era when anyone who felt like an outsider sought each other and formed a community of freedom-seekers to express themselves creatively through the rhythm, which we still celebrate today. Welcome to CLUB RENAISSANCE.
The magic of RENAISSANCE is also in Beyoncé's soaring vocals, rich, soulful, at times vulnerable and laden with passion and purpose in what could only be described as "SANGING." And it expands over memorable lyrics that are bold, heartened, urgent and categorically timely.
While the visuals are scheduled for a later date, the album comes with a robust menu of formats giving music fans and collectors plenty to choose. The music store on Beyoncé's website offers album merch and multiple configurations of RENAISSANCE, listing a CD, digital album, a limited-edition vinyl, launch with a bit of her signature mystery, that is now sold out, and four box sets, Pose 1 to 4, which include a t-shirt and CD in a special box, also all sold out, before fans were given the descriptions of the content. The breakout single, "Break My Soul," comes as a digital single and is also available in a capella and instrumental versions.
With the album release also comes a deluxe vinyl. It includes two black vinyl LPs, a 36-page booklet, and a folded collectable (24"x 36") poster. The full shopping experience is here.
Beyoncé recorded the album over the course of the pandemic, almost three years in the works, and states that the stillness of that time allowed her to tap into her most creative self.
"Creating this album allowed me a place to dream and to find escape during a scary time for the world," says Beyoncé. "It allowed me to feel free and adventurous in a time when little else was moving. My intention was to create a safe place, a place without judgment. A place to be free of perfectionism and overthinking. A place to scream, release, feel freedom. It was a beautiful journey of exploration."
With a squad of prolific collaborators, including The-Dream, Nile Rodgers, NOVA, NO ID,
Raphael Saadiq, Mike Dean,
Honey Dijon, Chris Penny, Luke Solomon, Skrillex, Beam, Big Freedia,
Grace Jones and Tems, Beyoncé set out "to reinvent music again," as described by The Times of London.

New Delhi: In a major development in connection with the National Herald matter, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday sealed the office of Young India Private Limited situated in the building of Herald House at Bahadurshah Zafar Marg.
The ED also pasted an order on the building of the Herald House.
“This is hereby declared that this premises not be opened without prior permission from the Directorate of Enforcement,” read the order of the ED.”
On Tuesday, the ED conducted a search operation at the Herald office. It was a day-long search which began in the morning and went on till late in the night.
Recently the ED questioned Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi for several days.
Reacting to the raid, senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh had taken to Twitter to criticise the Union government and the central probe agency.
“The raids on Herald House, Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg are a part of the continued attack against India’s principal opposition ‘Indian National Congress. We strongly condemn this vendetta politics against those who speak up against the Modi Govt. You cannot silence us,” Jairam had tweeted.
As of now, the ED has not released any official statement in this respect. | https://www.siasat.com/delhi-young-india-office-in-national-herald-building-sealed-2382754/ | 2022-08-03T15:06:30 | en | 0.962567 |
Paradeep Phosphates' Q1 revenue up 85%
Paradeep Phosphates has declared an income of Rs 2,435 crore from operations for the first quarter of 2022-2023 fiscal, up by 85 per cent as compared to the corresponding period of the previous year.
The earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation was Rs 167 crore, an increase of 56 per cent as compared to Rs 107 crore during the same quarter of the last financial year, according to a release by the Bhubaneswar-headquartered firm on Wednesday.
The profit after tax rose to Rs 63 crore, rising by 5 per cent as compared to Rs 60 crore during the same period in the last financial year.
The total fertiliser produced was 283,624 tonnes as against 227,785 tonnes in Q1 of the 2021-22 fiscal, when the revenue from operations was Rs 1,316 crore.
Managing director S Krishnan said the performance in the June quarter was impacted due to the various acquisition-related costs, such as stamp duty and the start-up costs of the urea-ammonia operations.
''During the first quarter, we have added significant capacities through organic as well as inorganic routes,'' Krishnan added.
Paradeep Phosphates is one of India's largest private sector phosphatic players, having a customer base of approximately 8.1 million farmers across 17 states.
It has a total capacity of close to 2.85 MT, out of which 0.4 MT is urea and the rest is phosphates. The company has two large manufacturing facilities - one in Paradeep in Odisha's Jagatsinghpur district and another at Zuarinagar, Goa.
In May, Paradeep Phosphates successfully completed the Rs 1500-crore initial public offering and used part of the proceeds to complete the acquisition of the 1.2-million-tonne (MT) fertiliser plant at Goa. PTI HMB RG

Taiwan scrambled jets on Wednesday to warn away 27 Chinese aircraft in its air defence zone, the island’s defence ministry said, adding that 22 of them crossed the median line separating the self-ruled island from China amid rising tensions.
China demonstrated its outrage over the highest-level U.S. visit to the island in 25 years by U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi with a burst of military drills around Taiwan, summoning the American ambassador in Beijing and halting several agricultural imports from the island.
In the latest uptick in tensions across the sensitive Taiwan Strait, Taiwan said it dispatched aircraft and deployed missile systems to “monitor” the Chinese activities into its air defence identification zone, or ADIZ.
Taiwan, which China claims as its own territory, has complained in recent years of repeated missions by the Chinese air force near the democratically governed island, often in the southwestern part of ADIZ.
Subscriber Only Stories
The latest Chinese mission included 16 Chinese Su-30 fighters and 11 other jets, Taiwan’s defence ministry said.
A source familiar with Taiwan’s security planning told Reuters that the 22 jets that crossed the median line did not fly too far into the unofficial buffer from the Chinese side. Neither side’s aircraft normally cross the median line.
Earlier on Wednesday, Taiwan said some of China’s planned military exercises this week were to take place within Taiwan’s 12 nautical mile sea and air territory, an unprecedented move a senior defence official described as “amounting to a sea and air blockade of Taiwan”.
China has ramped up military and political pressure to try and force the island to accept Chinese rule. Taiwan rejects China’s claims to the island and vows to defend itself.

New Delhi: Share of domestic institutional investors (DIIs), which includes domestic mutual funds, insurance companies, banks, financial institutions, pension funds along with retail and High Net-worth Individual (HNI) investors reached an all time high of 23.53 percent as on June 30, 2022 from 23.34 per cent as on March 31, 2022, on the back of net inflows from DIIs of a huge Rs 1.28 lakh crore during the quarter, as per Primeinfobase, an initiative of PRIME Database Group.
Meanwhile, net outflows from Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) of Rs 1.07 lakh crore during the quarter resulted in FPIs share declining further to a 10-year low of 19.20 per cent as on June 30, 2022, down by 96 bps from 20.16 percent as on March 31, 2022.
According to Pranav Haldea, Managing Director, PRIME Database Group, this further showcases the rise of domestic investors and the huge counter balancing role they have played to foreign investors. To also put this in perspective, as on March 31, 2015, FPI share was 23.3 per cent while the combined share of DII, retail, and HNI was just 18.47 percent.
There were 10 companies in which the trinity of promoters, FPIs and DIIs all increased their stake during the quarter these being (in descending order by market capitalisation) Escorts Kubota, Great Eastern Shipping Co, KRBL, Delta Corp, Maharashtra Seamless, NCC, Apcotex Industries, Mold-Tek Packaging, PSP Projects, and Zota Health Care.
Following from the above, the gap between FPI and DII holding decreased to its lowest level in this quarter, DII holding now being just 26.77 percent lower than FPI holding (on March 31, 2022, DII holding was 31.99 per cent lower than FPI holding). The widest gap between FPI and DII holding was in the quarter ending March 31, 2015, when DII holding was 55.45 per cent lower than FPI holding. | https://www.siasat.com/domestic-investor-holding-at-all-time-high-in-june-2022-quarter-2382790/ | 2022-08-03T15:06:36 | en | 0.972925 |

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) WaterTower
Music is proud to announce today's release of the soundtrack to Warner Bros. Pictures' animated action adventure feature film "DC League of Super-Pets," from director Jared Stern.
For the DC League of Super-Pets (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), Stern turned to composer
Steve Jablonsky (the "Transformers" films) to provide music that would soar just as high as any Super Hero. "We were so fortunate to collaborate with the wonderful
Steve Jablonsky on this film," explains the director. "His score beautifully creates classic superhero wonder for a modern audience, capturing the whimsy of superpowered pets along with thrilling action and truly lovely emotional motifs. I'm thrilled that this soundtrack will allow the world to enjoy his music as we did each time a new batch arrived. Pup up and away!"
Just as the imagery in any DC film has history, the legacy of all that has come before it, Jablonsky felt that the music should nod to that as well.
"One of my earliest questions to filmmakers and Warner Bros. was, 'Am I allowed to use some of the classic DC themes I grew up with?' I was so happy when they said yes," explains the composer. "Without a doubt, using the themes of my heroes was one of the most exciting things I've ever done. It was important to me that we tip our musical hat to some of the classic DC themes."
Jablonsky also chose to explore the film's humor through the score. "One thing that makes 'Super-Pets' unique is the way it combines Super Heroes, animation and humor. There is so much humor in the film it allowed us to have fun with tropes rather than treat them too seriously. For example, I used a theremin for Lex Luthor, which is one of the tropiest instruments of all time. It allowed me to score him seriously but with a wink to the audience to still have fun. And when your most evil villain is a hairless guinea pig named Lulu, that's something a composer should have fun with. For her, I used a huge brass section and choir to create our biggest and most serious theme in the film. In Lulu's mind, she is the ultimate villain, so I wanted to treat her that way!"
But it was the full spectrum of heart and humor that he experienced in the film that was the most influential element of the film for the composer. "When I first watched an early cut of 'Super-Pets,' one of the things I enjoyed the most was how emotionally connected I was to the pets," Jablonsky recalls. "The movie is really funny and action-packed, but at its core this story is about the pets and their profound journey to find forever homes. From the beginning of my scoring process, the filmmakers and I discussed how important it was for the music to support this journey and heighten the emotional moments of the film."
The soundtrack also includes the powerful original ballad "Count On Me," performed by Jac Ross and heard prominently in the film.
DC League of Super-Pets (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is now available digitally for streaming/ purchase, and the track list is as follows*:
Leaving Krypton
Squeezy Bruce

In "DC League of Super-Pets," Krypto the Super-Dog and Superman are inseparable best friends, sharing the same superpowers and fighting crime in Metropolis side by side. When Superman and the rest of the
Justice League are kidnapped, Krypto must convince a rag-tag shelter pack—Ace the hound, PB the potbellied pig, Merton the turtle and Chip the squirrel—to master their own newfound powers and help him rescue the Super Heroes.
Jared Stern, a veteran writer/consultant on the "LEGO®" movies, makes his animated feature film directorial debut, directing from a screenplay he wrote with frequent collaborator John Whittington, based on characters from DC, Superman created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. The film is produced by
Patricia Hicks, Dwayne Johnson, Dany Garcia, Hiram Garcia and Jared Stern. The executive producers are John Requa,
Glenn Ficarra, Nicholas Stoller,
Allison Abbate, Chris Leahy, Sharon Taylor and Courtenay Valenti.

Hyderabad: Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) minorities department chairman Shaik Abdullah Sohail, along senior leaders Osman Al Hajiri, Mohammed Riyaz and others, on Wednesday, submitted a representation to Ranga Reddy District Collector D Amoy Kumar demanding action against the illegal demolition of Masjid-e-Khaja Mahmood in Shamshabad in the wee hours of Tuesday.
Abdullah Sohail, in his representation, said that the Masjid-e-Khaja Mahmood was constructed in 2016 by the residents of Green Avenue Colony, Shamshabad and prayers were being performed regularly ever since its construction.
“All necessary permissions were taken for the construction of the mosque. A case about the dispute over the mosque land is reportedly pending in court. However, instead of waiting for the court orders, some anti-social elements, in connivance with some officials of the Shamshabad Municipal Corporation, illegally demolished the mosque,” he said.
“The demolition was done in such secrecy that all roads leading to the mosque site were barricaded. The houses of local Muslims were locked from the outside. The entire illegal operation was carried out as if they were raiding an enemy land,” Sohail added.
Describing the demolition of the mosque as highly condemnable, the Congress leader suspected the involvement of the land mafia behind the demolition. Further, he said that the demolition of the mosque appeared to be a part of a major conspiracy to incite communal violence and disturb law and order.
“We request you to kindly take immediate action in this regard. We request you to permit immediate reconstruction of the mosque at the original site,” he demanded while adding that the State Government must reconstruct the mosque by bearing the entire cost.
He also demanded serious action against all those involved, including the officials of Shamshabad Municipal Corporation and local police, responsible for the demolition.
“Inaction or delay in action in this regard would set a wrong precedent and the anti-social elements and land mafia would keep more places of worship. Consequently, the peace, communal harmony and the entire law and order situation of Telangana will get disturbed,” he said. | https://www.siasat.com/hyderabad-congress-demands-re-construction-of-demolished-mosque-2382753/ | 2022-08-03T15:06:42 | en | 0.96947 |
US STOCKS-Strong earnings lifts Wall Street ahead of services activity data
U.S. stock indexes rose on Wednesday on strong results from PayPal and CVS Health, with investors awaiting services activity data for clues on the health of the economy struggling with soaring inflation and tightening financial conditions.
- Country:
- United States
U.S. stock indexes rose on Wednesday on strong results from PayPal and CVS Health, with investors awaiting services activity data for clues on the health of the economy struggling with soaring inflation and tightening financial conditions. Shares of PayPal Holdings jumped 11.6% after the fintech company raised its annual profit guidance and said activist investor Elliott Management has an over $2 billion stake.
CVS Health Corp gained 4.7% as the largest U.S. pharmacy chain raised its annual profit forecast after posting strong quarterly results. A largely upbeat second-quarter earnings season has helped markets bounce back in a year roiled by the Ukraine war, fears of a looming recession and an aggressive rise in borrowing costs.
The benchmark S&P 500 index and tech-heavy Nasdaq are up 13.3% and 18.2%, respectively, from the lows hit in mid-June. The Institute of Supply Management's data, due at 10 a.m. ET, is expected to show non-manufacturing activity slipped to 53.5 last month from 55.3 in June, the fourth straight monthly decline. The services sector accounts for more than two-thirds of U.S. economic activity.
"What we want is Goldilocks number, big numbers right now are bad, whether they're big and good, or big and bad. What we actually want is pretty small increases or small decreases," said Jason Blackwell, chief investment strategist at The Colony Group.

US STOCKS-Nasdaq rises on positive earnings signals as inflation concerns loom

US STOCKS-Nasdaq boosted by growth stocks after Netflix's upbeat forecast | https://www.devdiscourse.com/article/business/2132479-us-stocks-strong-earnings-lifts-wall-street-ahead-of-services-activity-data | 2022-08-03T15:06:44 | en | 0.935244 |
New York, NY (Top40 Charts) We constantly strive to improve our media-consuming experience, and advancements in today’s technology aim to cater to that. However, more often than not, we also look for ways to indulge ourselves a bit more.
One classic way of unwinding and escaping our day-to-day lives is by listening to our favorite soundtracks, especially if we don’t have the time or luxury to rewatch our best-loved movies. Of course, the most convenient means is with whatever gadget we have at bay, but some argue it’s better on more vintage streaming devices. Nowadays, with the emergence of vinyl record players, the question is: does it make for a better listening experience?
Before considering vintage turntables for music streaming, remember that these devices have their fair share of pros and cons. While it is entirely up to taste and preference, we are sure that you would really enjoy your favorite soundtracks with record players if you resonate with the following reasons.
You Want Nostalgia At Your Fingertips
Usually, people would rewatch movies they are fond of to relive the experience; other times, replaying their favorite soundtracks would suffice. But, regardless of how you choose to revisit your cherished media, it always puts you in a reminiscent trance.
Since vinyl records have always been known to induce a sense of nostalgia, listening to your favorite soundtracks on turntables is sure to double the wistfulness. However, the experience is better replicated with quality equipment. For example, if you want a smooth, colorful timber for when you listen to music, then a record player with a Jico stylus is your best bet. These needles offer a fantastic range of clarity, brilliance, and versatility for that natural finish.
Another reason a turntable would be best for you is if your favorites are oldies. There’s nothing like listening to records the way they were meant to be played.
You Want To Feel The Music
With today’s technology, you can hear music clearer and as louder than ever. Whether you wear bluetooth headphones or have blasting speakers, the devices today ensure you can distinguish every sound. However, these advancements don’t necessarily mean you feel the music the way you should.
Vinyl record players make listening to music a whole profound experience. It may not be as crystal clear as the devices we have today, but it does let us feel music differently. When you play your favorite collections on a turntable, the resulting sound is uncompressed and without tone loss, relaying exactly what the artist meant for you to hear. It is also closer to what a live performance might sound like with its crispness and warmth, immersing you deeper into the songs.
You’re A Music Enthusiast
Although everyone enjoys listening to music, some appreciate the craft more than others. If you have a deeper love for your favorite soundtracks, then listening to them on a record player might do the trick and transcend you into an elevated experience.
Vintage turntables are a must-have for the music enthusiast. Not only will they make you hear your favorite soundtracks differently, but they will also be a neat addition to your collection. | https://top40-charts.com/news.php?nid=175824 | 2022-08-03T15:06:46 | en | 0.959198 |

Vienna: The OPEC oil cartel and its allies decided on Wednesday to boost production in September at a much slower pace than in previous months at a time of high oil prices and unstable energy supplies exacerbated by the war Russia has waged on Ukraine.
The OPEC+ coalition said it will increase output to 100,000 barrels a day next month after raising it by 648,000 barrels per day in July and August.
The group considered what effects staggering inflation and rising COVID-19 rates may have on global demand for fuel in the fall, with gasoline prices at the pump still high.
OPEC, led by Saudi Arabia, and its allies, led by Russia, curtailed production during the pandemic as oil prices and demand plummeted, and those cuts are due to expire in September.
The OPEC+ coalition has been gradually adding more oil and gas to the market as economies recovered.
Some OPEC nations, such as Angola and Nigeria, have been producing less than the agreed-upon amount.
Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates, on the other hand, have the capacity to increase production, although it’s unclear if they will want to.
Russia’s oil and natural gas exports to the world have declined as many nations imposed sanctions or curtailed buying from the major supplier due to its invasion of Ukraine.
Russia also has reduced or cut off natural gas to a dozen European countries, further driving up energy prices, squeezing people’s spending power and threatening to cause a recession if nations can’t stockpile enough gas to get through the winter.
It was the first official monthly meeting of the OPEC+ group since its leader, Mohammad Sanusi Barkindo, died at age 63 in his home country of Nigeria last month.
Haitham al-Ghais, a veteran of the Kuwait Petroleum Corporation, took over as secretary general of OPEC this week.
It was also OPEC’s first meeting since US President Joe Biden visited Saudi Arabia last month, aiming to improve relations and hoping to encourage more oil production from the cartel.
There was no oil production agreement announced after the meeting, but Biden said he expected OPEC to take steps to increase production in the coming weeks.
The price of oil rose sharply after Russia invaded Ukraine in February. But it has fallen somewhat since OPEC last met.
In the US, a gallon of regular gasoline was selling for USD 4.19 on average Tuesday. That’s substantially lower than in June, when the nationwide average surpassed USD 5 a gallon, but it’s still painfully high for many frontline workers and families to afford and about 32 per cent higher than what drivers were paying a year ago.

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Beyoncé is to re-record one of the songs on her new album, after facing criticism from disability campaigners.
The song Heated, which was released on Friday, contained a derogatory term that has often been used to demean people with spastic cerebral palsy.
The star's publicist told the BBC the word, which can have different connotations in the US, was "not used intentionally in a harmful way".
It "will be replaced in the lyrics", they added, without giving a timescale.
The backlash came just a couple of weeks after US pop star
Lizzo apologised for using the same word in her song GRRRLS.
Within days, she apologised and re-released the song, omitting the offensive lyric.
"Let me make one thing clear: I never want to promote derogatory language," she wrote in a statement posted to social media.
"As a fat black woman in America, I've had many hurtful words used against me so I understand the power words can have (whether intentionally or in my case, unintentionally)."
When fans heard Beyoncé's track on Friday, it felt "like a slap in the face", disability advocate
Hannah Diviney told the BBC.
"I'm tired and frustrated that we're having this conversation again so soon after we got such a meaningful and progressive response from Lizzo".
Disability charity Scope had asked Beyoncé to re-record the song, omitting the insult. It welcomed the change of heart.
"It's good Beyoncé has acted so swiftly after disabled people yet again called out this thoughtless lyric," Scope's media manager Warren Kirwan said.
"There's a feeling of deja vu as it's just a few weeks since
Lizzo also had to re-release a song after featuring the same offensive language.
"We hope this is the last time we see this kind of thing from anyone, let alone musicians with massive global influence."
Some fans had defended Beyoncé, pointing out that the term she used can have a different meaning in the US - where it is often used to mean "freaking out" or "going crazy" (although those terms can themselves be insensitive to people with mental health conditions).
Despite the controversy, Beyoncé's seventh studio album, Renaissance, is expected to top the charts around the world this week.
In the UK, it is currently outselling the rest of the top five combined. The lead single, Break My Soul, is also expected to top the charts. | https://top40-charts.com/news.php?nid=175825 | 2022-08-03T15:06:52 | en | 0.975072 |

US STOCKS-Strong earnings lift Wall Street ahead of services activity data
U.S. stock indexes rose on Wednesday on strong results from PayPal and CVS Health, with investors awaiting services activity data for clues on the health of the economy struggling with soaring inflation and tightening financial conditions.
U.S. stock indexes rose on Wednesday on strong results from PayPal and CVS Health, with investors awaiting services activity data for clues on the health of the economy struggling with soaring inflation and tightening financial conditions. Shares of PayPal Holdings jumped 11.6% after the fintech company raised its annual profit guidance and said activist investor Elliott Management has an over $2 billion stake.
CVS Health Corp gained 4.7% as the largest U.S. pharmacy chain raised its annual profit forecast after posting strong quarterly results. A largely upbeat second-quarter earnings season has helped markets bounce back in a year roiled by the Ukraine war, fears of a looming recession and an aggressive rise in borrowing costs.
The benchmark S&P 500 index and tech-heavy Nasdaq are up 13.3% and 18.2%, respectively, from the lows hit in mid-June. The Institute of Supply Management's data, due at 10 a.m. ET, is expected to show non-manufacturing activity slipped to 53.5 last month from 55.3 in June, the fourth straight monthly decline. The services sector accounts for more than two-thirds of U.S. economic activity.
"What we want is Goldilocks number, big numbers right now are bad, whether they're big and good, or big and bad. What we actually want is pretty small increases or small decreases," said Jason Blackwell, chief investment strategist at The Colony Group. "That tells us that the Fed is working, (but) not too hard (to) take us into a deeper recession."
Meanwhile, St. Louis Federal Reserve President James Bullard said on Wednesday the U.S. central bank will be steadfast in raising interest rates to bring inflation running at four-decade highs back to its 2% target. Wall Street started August on a sour note as factory activity in the United States, China and Eurozone weakened in July.
At 9:40 a.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 250.32 points, or 0.77%, at 32,646.49, the S&P 500 was up 34.03 points, or 0.83%, at 4,125.22, and the Nasdaq Composite was up 152.62 points, or 1.24%, at 12,501.38. Moderna Inc climbed 8.7% after the vaccine maker announced a $3 billion share buyback plan.
Regeneron Pharmaceuticals added 5.3% after it beat quarterly revenue estimates, while coffee chain Starbucks Corp rose 1% on upbeat quarterly profit. Advanced Micro Devices Inc fell 2.3% after the chip designer forecast downbeat third-quarter revenue.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by a 2.71-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and by a 2.62-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq. The S&P index recorded one new 52-week highs and 30 new lows, while the Nasdaq recorded 27 new highs and 10 new lows.

Islamabad: Pakistan on Wednesday reaffirmed its strong commitment to the “one China” policy amid controversy over US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan that has infuriated Beijing, media reports said.
In a statement, Pakistan Foreign Office spokesperson Asim Iftikhar expressed firm support to China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, The News reported.
“Pakistan is deeply concerned over the evolving situation in the Taiwan Strait, which has serious implications for regional peace and stability,” he said.
The world was already reeling through a critical security situation due to the Ukraine conflict, with destabilising implications for international food and energy security, and “cannot afford another crisis that has negative consequences for global peace, security and economy”, the Foreign Office said.
“Pakistan strongly believes that inter-state relations should be based on mutual respect, non-interference in internal affairs, and peaceful resolution of issues by upholding of principles of UN charter, international law and bilateral agreements.”
Pelosi landed in Taiwan on Tuesday despite a series of increasingly stark threats from Beijing, which views the island as its territory and had said it would consider the visit a major provocation.
China responded swiftly, warning the US Ambassador in Beijing of “extremely serious consequences” and announcing military drills in seas around Taiwan – some of the world’s busiest waterways.
Pelosi, third in line to the presidency, is the highest-profile elected US official to visit Taiwan in 25 years. | https://www.siasat.com/pakistan-sides-with-china-in-row-with-us-over-pelosis-visit-2382770/ | 2022-08-03T15:06:54 | en | 0.947065 |

Jaipur: News anchor Rohit Ranjan was questioned Wednesday by police here for playing an allegedly doctored clip of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on his show last month.
The Zee TV journalist, who lives on the outskirts of New Delhi, was sent a notice about two days back to join the investigation in Jaipur. After the questioning, he was allowed to return, Kalwar SHO Pannalal said.
On July 8, the Supreme Court had passed an order restraining various state authorities from taking any coercive steps against Ranjan, who faces multiple FIRs in connection with the tv programme.
He was slapped with cases in Congress-ruled Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan, as well as a case under lesser charges in BJP-run Uttar Pradesh, after the broadcast following the murder of Udaipur tailor Kanhaiya Lal by two men who said they were avenging an insult to Islam.
The show played remarks by Gandhi on the ransacking of his office in Kerala’s Wayanad, while allegedly giving the impression that the politician was speaking on the tailor’s murder and forgiving the killers.
Ranjan had later apologised and the channel claimed that the mistake was made by two producers.
In Jaipur, police registered an FIR on July 2 against Ranjan, BJP spokesperson Rajyavardhan Rathore and others.
The FIR was lodged on the basis of a complaint by a Congress leader, Ram Singh, at Banipark police station and the investigation handed over later to the Kalwar station.
Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot had also criticised the TV channel for show.
In July, a police team from Chhattisgarh had reached Uttar Pradesh’s Ghaziabad to arrest the anchor from his home. But in a dramatic turn of events, he was instead arrested by UP’s Noida police who later released him on bail. | https://www.siasat.com/rahul-remarks-row-tv-anchor-questioned-by-jaipur-police-2382800/ | 2022-08-03T15:07:00 | en | 0.985963 |
9.55 lakh applicants register for recruitment in Navy under Agnipath scheme
The Navy plans to recruit about 3,000 personnel this year under the Agnipath scheme and it started the registration process for aspirants on July 1.Nearly 7,50,000 candidates have already registered for around 3,000 positions in the IAF under the new scheme.
- Country:
- India
Around 9.55 lakh applicants, including 82,200 women, have registered for recruitment in the Indian Navy under the newly rolled out Agnipath scheme, officials said on Wednesday. The registration process for recruitment in the Navy under the scheme has concluded. The Navy plans to recruit about 3,000 personnel this year under the Agnipath scheme and it started the registration process for aspirants on July 1.
Nearly 7,50,000 candidates have already registered for around 3,000 positions in the IAF under the new scheme. The scheme, announced on June 14, seeks to recruit youths between the age bracket of 17-and-half years and 21 for only four years with a provision to retain 25 per cent of them for 15 more years. For 2022, the upper age limit has been extended to 23 years.
Several parts of India witnessed violent protests last month against the scheme with the agitators demanding its roll back as the new model does not provide a job guarantee to 75 per cent of recruits.
The government has been maintaining that the Agnipath scheme aims to ensure a youthful profile of the armed forces, bring technically adept people and make them future-ready to deal with any challenges facing the nation.
Under the scheme, the three services are planning to recruit 46,000 soldiers this year.
The youths to be recruited under the new scheme would be called 'Agniveer'.
A major objective of the scheme is to bring down the average age of military personnel.
The announcement of the new scheme came in the backdrop of recruitment into the military remaining stalled over the coronavirus pandemic for over two years.

The list had two Tata group firms -- Tata Motors at 370 and Tata Steel at 435th spot. Rajesh Exports at 437th rank was the other private Indian company on the list.
State Bank of India (SBI) climbed 17 places to rank 236th and Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd 19 places to 295.
Fortune Global 500 list ranks companies by total revenues for their respective fiscal years ended on or before March 31, 2022.
''The rebound from COVID-19 created a huge tailwind for the world's largest companies by revenue,'' Fortune said.
Aggregate sales for the Fortune Global 500 hit USD 37.8 trillion, an increase of 19 per cent -- the highest annual growth rate in the list's history.
Walmart landed at No. 1 for the ninth straight year, trailed by Amazon, which reached its highest ranking ever. Chinese energy giants State Grid, China National Petroleum, and Sinopec rounded out the top five.
For the first time, revenues from Global 500 companies in Greater China (including Taiwan) exceeded revenues from US companies on the list, accounting for 31 per cent of the total.
''The corporations that make up our annual ranking of the world's largest companies also reaped record-busting profits in 2021. But this year's turmoil has confronted the leaders of the Fortune Global 500 with a new set of crises -- many of them political as well as economic,'' it added.

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Singer-songwriter
James Bourne has signed a worldwide deal covering his extensive catalogue and future works with Warner Chappell Music, the music publishing arm of Warner
Music Group. Bourne is perhaps best known as the co-founder, vocalist, guitarist and songwriter of the multi-million selling band Busted, but he has also recorded a wide range of solo work and written for other artists ranging from the
Jonas Brothers to The Saturdays.
As part of Busted, Bourne has landed four UK Number One singles, won two BRIT awards and sold more than five million records over four studio albums. He also scored an Number Three single for 'Ticket Outta Loserville' and had a Top 10 hit with 'Eddie's Song', both performed with Son of Dork, the band he formed after
Busted originally split.
Throughout his career, Bourne has written songs for the likes of 5 Seconds of Summer, Backstreet Boys, Boyzone, Jonas Brothers, McFly, Pixie Lott, The
Saturdays and The Vamps
James Bourne said: "I'm beyond excited to begin a new chapter with Warner Chappell! My songwriting over the last 20 years has taken me on the most amazing journey. I still feel like I have a lot more to offer as a songwriter and an artist. Onwards!"
Emily Foreman, Creative Manager, Warner Chappell
Music UK, added: "James has been writing great pop and rock songs for almost 20 years now. He enjoyed incredible success in the early 2000s, but the last two
Busted records, as well as his recent solo material, have shown how much he's developed and evolved as a songwriter. We're excited to work with him on the next stage of his career."
Bourne formed
Busted when he was 17 years old and signed a major label deal in 2002. The band's debut single 'What I Go To School For' peaked at Number Three, before 'Year 3000' hit Number Two and 'You Said No' landed them their first UK Number One. The tracks were taken from their eponymous debut album which went to Number Two in the UK albums chart and has currently sold more than 2.2 million copies worldwide.
Busted's second album, A Present For Everyone, has also sold more than two million copies and included the UK Number One singles 'Crashed The Wedding' and 'Who's David'. Following its release, the band picked up Best British Breakthrough Act and Best Pop Act at the 2004 BRIT Awards. They went on to release the double A-side 'Thunderbirds / 3AM' which also topped the singles chart.
In the same year, Bourne penned the Number One songs '5 Colours In Her Hair' and 'Obviously' for
McFly - taking his tally of Number One singles as a songwriter to seven.
Once
Busted parted ways in in 2005, Bourne formed Son of Dork. The band's debut single, 'Ticket Outta Loserville', was a top three hit and follow up single 'Eddie's Song' landed in the Top 10.
In 2013, Bourne, and fellow
Busted member Matt Willis, came together with the members of
McFly to form supergroup McBusted. They released their eponymous album at the end of 2014 which hit the UK Top 10 albums chart.
In 2016,
Busted reformed, signing to Warner Music's East West label, and released their third studio album, Night Driver. They followed this up in 2019 with Half Way There, which reached Number Two in the UK albums chart.
Bourne released his first solo album, Safe
Journey Home, in 2020 and this year has released a string of singles from the follow up record. His latest album Sugar Beach was released last month. | https://top40-charts.com/news.php?nid=175835 | 2022-08-03T15:07:11 | en | 0.978898 |

NHAI debt stands at Rs 3.49 lakh crore
- Country:
- India
The total outstanding debt of state-owned National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) stood at around Rs 3.49 lakh crore as of March 31, 2022, Parliament was informed on Wednesday.
In a written reply to the Rajya Sabha, Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari said the fund required by NHAI for debt servicing in 2022-23, 2023-24 and 2024-25 will be Rs 31,282 crore, Rs 31,909 crore and Rs 30,552 crore, respectively.
Gadkari said the monetisation plan of operational highway stretches -- which have the largest share of Rs 1.6 lakh crore of the total asset monetisation plan of Rs 6 lakh crore over a period of four years, i.e. FY22 to FY25, as per the National Monetisation Pipeline (NMP) announced recently by the Centre -- includes 26,700 km of highways of four lanes.
Till date, NHAI has monetised 26 stretches under toll-operate-transfer (TOT) and InvIT modes of monetisation.
According to the minister, the total budgetary outlay of the road ministry under BE 2022-23 is Rs 1,99,107.71 crore.
''In addition, NHAI envisages raising of Rs 15,000 crore from SPV and Rs 30,000 crore is investment envisaged from private sector participation,'' he said.
Replying to a separate question, Gadkari said Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh have confirmed that they are following the provision of the Motor Vehicle Act and the notification issued thereunder to ensure the appropriate electronic enforcement devices on National Highways at high risk and high-density corridors.
''Remaining states/UTs have not yet confirmed,'' he added.
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways issued a notification on August 11, 2021, for electronic monitoring and enforcement of road safety, which mandates that the state government shall ensure that appropriate electronic enforcement devices are placed at high risk and high-density corridors on National Highways.
Implementation of the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988 and Central Motor Vehicle Rules, 1989 comes under the purview of the respective state governments/UTs.
Replying to another question, the minister said the use of steel slag in different pavement layers of highways is under the trial stage.
Asked if the government has any plan to take penal action against electric vehicles manufacturers for delivering faulty electric two-wheelers to the public, Gadkari said, ''The Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989 contains provisions regarding non compliance with Standards (rule 127A), Suspension Order (rule 127B) and Defective Motor Vehicles and Recall Notice (rule 127C).'' ''Section 182A of the Motor Vehicle Act 1988 contains provisions regarding punishment for offences relating to construction, maintenance, sale and alteration of motor vehicles and component,'' he added.
Gadkari said 55.10 lakh plants have been planted in 94 road projects, completed by March 2021.
Asked whether the government plans any electric charging facilities on the Delhi-Mumbai highway, he said, ''The ministry has mandated provision of charging facilities for EVs all along the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway.'' PTI BKS MR

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) GRAMMY-nominated chart-topping artist
Marshmello teams up with acclaimed British singer-songwriter Mae Muller on the captivating new single "American Psycho" (feat. Trippie Redd), which was released today by Astralwerks. With characteristic honesty, Muller admits to her own flaws as she addresses an ex, concluding "You put the T in toxic."
Trippie Redd tells the other side of the story on his verse. The song opens as an introspective piano ballad and Marshmello's production builds from there, swelling to an infectious chorus.
Director Raja Virdi (Holly Humberstone,
George Ezra, Passenger) brings a stylized 90s vibe to the official video for "American Psycho," which explores the dualities found in individuals and their relationships. As she performs, Mae Muller moves through vastly different dreamlike landscapes, from blossoming, pristine environments infused with joy to grungy, decaying red worlds.
Trippie Redd delivers his verse amid dark red clouds and lightning flashes - and there are signs of
Marshmello throughout. View the video, which made its broadcast premier on MTV Live, mtvU and the Paramount+ Times
Square billboards earlier.
"American Psycho" comes on the heels of Marshmello's latest chart climbing collaboration with Khalid, "Numb." The single has already amassed over 75 million streams in the first six weeks since its release and continues to climb Billboard's Hot 100. The pair's 2017 single, "Silence," is now RIAA certified 5x Platinum. In addition to his Las
Vegas residencies,
Marshmello is headlining numerous international festivals this summer, including Tomorrowland last weekend and Rock in Rio in September. Muller will perform at the Y Not? Festival in the U.K. this weekend.
Trippie Redd is currently touring North
America with Machine Gun Kelly.
GRAMMY-nominated Marshmello's star continues to rise as the famously masked artist breaks boundaries across the industry. With chart-topping singles and collaborations with the likes of Juice WRLD, Halsey, Demi Lovato, Bastille, Kane Brown,
Selena Gomez, Khalid, Jonas Brothers, and more,
Marshmello has clocked almost a staggering 13 billion streams across Spotify alone. With almost 40 million monthly listeners on the platform, he's one of the top 40 most streamed artists in the world on Spotify and the third-most-subscribed artist on YouTube. Featured on the cover of the Forbes magazine "30 Under 30" issue,
Marshmello has proved to not only be an innovative producer, but a forward-thinking businessman. With his own brand of chocolate-filled marshmallows ("Stuffed Puffs"), he's also launched a children's entertainment channel, Mellodees.
Marshmello collaborated with the
Jonas Brothers on their early summer smash "Leave Before You Love Me," which peaked at No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was also nominated for the best dance / electronic album at the 2022 GRAMMYs. Most recently,
Marshmello teamed up with
Khalid to release "Numb," which was accompanied by a music video that surpassed 1.4 million views within 3 days of its release.
British singer-songwriter Mae Muller is intent on telling it precisely like it is — she's frank, funny, and endlessly relatable. On her Capitol Records debut EP no one else, not even you, she offers a rarely-glimpsed look at the tension between the thrill of new love and the fear of losing your sense of self. Mae showcases the fearlessly honest yet irresistibly fun songwriting that's seen her hailed as "a clear pop sensation in the making" by
Wonderland and the "new queen" by NYLON and earned praise from The Fader, GQ, Paper, The Los Angeles Times, Ladygunn and more. Mae's breakout Platinum hit "
Better Days" with NEIKED x
Polo G is a Top 10 radio airplay smash also charting in the Top 10 across Spotify and Apple. "
Better Days" ranks as a Top 5 trending sound on both TikTok and Snap and is fast approaching one billion streams worldwide. Mae was named a YouTube Trending Artist on the Rise and Billboard "Chartbreaker" while her television performances include "The Voice," "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest" and "The
Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon." Mae has also stormed her way through the live world, earning an adoring worldwide following who've come to rely on her uncompromising self-expression. Mae has performed at festival stages across the U.K. to huge crowds including the likes of Reading & Leeds, Bestival, Latitude, and Sundown Festival.
One of the most versatile and creatively daring artists in hip-hop today,
Trippie Redd makes music that's both wildly experimental and massively appealing. Since delivering his debut mixtape A Love Letter to You in 2017, the multi-Platinum-selling, chart-topping rapper, singer/songwriter has continually defied genre boundaries, embedding his melodic take on rap with frenetic elements of rock-and-roll and heavy metal. And with his penetrating lyrics and nuanced but hard-hitting vocal performance, the 23-year-old Ohio native matches that endless ingenuity with a powerfully raw emotional impact.
Racking up over 18 billion streams to date and having five consecutive projects land in the Top 5 of the Billboard 200 chart,
Trippie Redd has evolved from budding SoundCloud rapper to a global powerhouse. Not only has he collaborated with some of today's biggest names in music spanning Drake, Future, XXXTENTACION and
Juice WRLD to
Illenium and
Marshmello to
Travis Barker and
Oliver Tree, but he also made his acting debut during an episode of Lil Dicky's critically acclaimed DAVE followed by an appearance on Machine Gun Kelly's Good Mourning. His latest album, Trip At Knight, brought a No. 1 debut on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and went on to amass over 2.5 billion streams, led by single "
Miss The Rage" featuring Playboi Carti. Now, looking towards the future,
Trippie Redd shows no signs of slowing down, working on his biggest and boldest records yet with plans of releasing music very soon.
Established in 1993 in New York City, Astralwerks was the brainchild of Caroline Records staffers who saw an opportunity for a label focused on the nascent electronic and ambient scene. Now based at the historic Capitol Records Tower in Hollywood, Astralwerks has emerged as a modern, artist-first label and the #1 market share leader for dance/electronic music in the U.S. Combining a scalable, independent and global-thinking ethos with the ability to tap into the resources of a major label has enabled Astralwerks to sign such artists as ILLENIUM, Jonas Blue, Alison Wonderland, EDEN, ZHU and Alesso. As a testament to its pioneering approach, Astralwerks has amassed 30 GRAMMY® nominations, taken home six GRAMMY Awards and had historic releases from the likes of The Chemical Brothers, Swedish House Mafia, Halsey, Porter Robinson, Phoenix, Eric Prydz,
Fatboy Slim and many others. The label has also released such massive singles as the 6x Platinum "
