Haryana makes wearing of mask compulsory in 4 NCR districts
- Country:
- India
The Haryana government on Monday made the wearing of a face mask mandatory in four districts falling in the National Capital region.
Haryana Health Minister Anil Vij said in view of the rise in Covid cases over the past a few days in Gurugram, the wearing of a mask has been made compulsory there and three other districts of Faridabad, Sonipat and Jhajjar.
Of 234 cases reported in Haryana on Monday, 198 surfaced in Gurugram alone while 21 were from Faridabad, he said.
''But in more than half of the districts, cases are nil or very less,'' Vij told reporters here.
Vij said a team led by Additional Chief Secretary (Health) Rajeev Arora has been asked to study why cases are increasing in Gurugram. Its report is yet to come, he said.
''However, as a precautionary measure in the districts which lie close to the national capital, we have made the wearing of a mask compulsory,'' he said.
The wearing of masks will be mandatory with immediate effect. Those not wearing a mask will be fined, he said.
''We are studying which areas in Gurugram are seeing a surge,'' said Vij while replying to a question.
To another question, he said some samples have been sent to Rohtak to see which variant is in circulation in Gurugram.
He said the Health Department is fully prepared to tackle any situation.
''We are ready, our staff is ready, we have adequate beds, equipment, oxygen,'' he said.
The decision by the Haryana government has come on the day Uttar Pradesh made it compulsory for people to wear a face mask in public places in Lucknow and six NCR districts. The districts where the wearing of a mask has been made mandatory by the UP government are Gautam Buddh Nagar, Ghaziabad, Hapur, Meerut, Bulandshahr and Baghpat.

Doctors' stir affects health services in Nagaland
On the first day of the agitation, administrations of Kohima and Dimapur districts sought help of private practitioners for the treatment of patients, official sources said.The Nagaland government has said the PMs statement was made in a political rally and no directive has been given to states.Several organisations are opposed to the demand of NIDA saying increasing the retirement age of doctors would create stagnancy in employment opportunities.
- Country:
- India
Health services in government hospitals of Nagaland were affected on Monday as doctors started a three-day agitation demanding that their retirement age be increased by two years.
Members of the Nagaland in-Service Doctors’ Association (NIDA) have taken mass casual leaves to press their demand for increase in the superannuation age of government medical practitioners from 60 to 62 years. The agitation has affected services in the Out Patients’ Department (OPD) in government hospitals and health centres across the state, but the emergency department and ICUs were open, NIDA said in a statement.
Senior doctors will be available round the clock to attend to any emergency during the period of agitation, it said adding that Covid-19 vaccination and tests were not affected.
The demand is in line with the promise Prime Minister Narendra Modi made in 2016, the NIDA said. The organisation said it is forced to take this step as the state government has failed to solve the issue in a year.
Doctors in Dimapur district hospital said they attended to emergency cases but not OPD patients. The state government had earlier cautioned the agitating doctors that action would be taken against them. On the first day of the agitation, administrations of Kohima and Dimapur districts sought help of private practitioners for the treatment of patients, official sources said.
The Nagaland government has said the PM's statement was made in a political rally and no directive has been given to states.
Several organisations are opposed to the demand of NIDA saying increasing the retirement age of doctors would create stagnancy in employment opportunities.

With a Focus on Energy Efficiency, Emission Reductions and Investing in Sustainable Environmental Projects, Blackbaud Makes Progress Toward its ESG Commitment
CHARLESTON, S.C., April 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Blackbaud (NASDAQ: BLKB), the world's leading cloud software company powering social good, today announced it has achieved carbon neutrality across its operations and data centers for 2021, and that it will engage with the Taskforce and Climate Financial Disclosure (TCDF) and CDP to ensure transparent sustainability reporting and progress. With a multi-pronged climate strategy, Blackbaud is focused on reducing its emissions, using energy efficiently and investing in environmental projects for a more sustainable future.
"As a company with a longstanding track record of commitment to social good, we prioritize our obligation to operate our business sustainably," said Rachel Hutchisson, vice president, global social responsibility, Blackbaud. "We are committed to doing our part for climate change by calculating and reducing our emissions, investing in renewable energy and sustainable projects, and working with our employees, customers and partners to collectively advance our efforts."
Blackbaud began its carbon neutral journey by evaluating its Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, which included emissions from its owned buildings (Scope 1), emissions from sources that are not owned but controlled—like leased offices (Scope 2)—and then emissions from data centers, cloud services and employee work from home energy consumption (Scope 3).
Reducing emissions has been a top priority for Blackbaud over the past several years. Blackbaud transitioned to a remote-first workforce strategy in 2021, which helped fast-track the company's goals for minimizing environmental impact. Since 2019, Blackbaud has reduced its global real estate footprint by 50%; reduced the energy emissions required to run its office space by 63%; and reduced employee commute emissions by 75%.
With its remote-first strategy, Blackbaud has retained one owned office building—its LEED Gold certified world headquarters in Charleston, SC. This building leverages solar power and operates with 30% more energy efficiency and 20% less water than other buildings of its class. Blackbaud has also implemented strong waste reduction and wellness programs to create a healthy, sustainable campus.
To balance the remainder of emissions from its business operations, Blackbaud has invested in renewable energy credits (RECs) and carbon offsets. The company purchased Green-e® RECs, which funded clean energy generation at a South Dakota wind farm, to account for its Scope 2 emissions. To reduce the effects of Scope 1 and Scope 3 emissions, Blackbaud is supporting several carbon offset projects, including Mississippi valley reforestation in the U.S., community reforestation in Ghana and a portfolio of global renewable energy projects.
This milestone of achieving carbon neutrality builds on Blackbaud's recent sustainability progress. In 2021, Blackbaud formed an ESG steering committee that is co-chaired by CEO Mike Gianoni and has board oversight. Blackbaud also joined the UN Global Compact, which is focused on aligning business activity to the UN's sustainable development goals (SDGs). Earlier this year, the company made a multi-year, six-figure gift to Project Drawdown, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and a leader in science-based climate solutions research, communications and engagement. Blackbaud's gift is supporting Project Drawdown's efforts to reach educators, students, professionals and a general audience of individual change agents interested in climate change and solutions. Project Drawdown is partnering with Blackbaud to consult on environmental strategy and provide educational opportunities for Blackbaud employees on how to apply climate solutions in their own lives and how to become climate advocates.
As a next step, Blackbaud will adopt the TCFD framework in its reporting this year and will also report climate data to CDP to continue enhancing transparency around its sustainable operations, and to continue working toward its climate goals. These disclosures help companies outline climate-related risks and their plans to minimize those risks through governance, and by setting targets and measuring against them.
"We've been committed to social good from day one, and our mission is to help good take over the world," said Hutchisson. "Reducing environmental impact and advocating for climate solutions is one way we are bringing that mission to life. Achieving carbon neutrality is a significant step in our journey, but we know there is more work to do, and we remain focused on progress."

- M.Brain, the world's first brainwave technology developed last year, proven to be effective in a pilot application.
- Cuts down drowsiness after meals by 30% and on highways by 20% max. Also, reduces time taken to recover attention by three times.
- Hyundai Mobis secures competitiveness with in-vehicle healthcare in advance by obtaining massive amounts of evidential data and will expand into personalized technology by integrating deep learning with biosignals.
SEOUL, South Korea, April 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- It was found that you can curtail dangerous situations like drowsy driving by up to 1/3 when applying driver monitoring technology based on brain waves. As more biosignal technologies are introduced to prevent car accidents, these technologies are expected to contribute to reducing the number of serious accidents involving buses or other commercial vehicles.
Hyundai Mobis, together with the Gyeonggi Research Institute, announced on March 18 the results of an analysis on the practical effects of "M.Brain," which has been applied on Gyeonggi-do public buses as a pilot project for the past year. M.Brain is a driver monitoring system that uses brain waves and was first developed by Hyundai Mobis last year.
As a result of the pilot application, it was demonstrated that drivers who put on M.Brain showed higher concentration levels and were less exposed to the dangers of being inattentive. M.Brain is a technology that grasps the driver's condition in real time by monitoring the brain waves around the ears through a pair of earsets the user wears. When a driver becomes inattentive, M.Brain uses visual, sound, and haptic alerts to help the driver recover his/her attention.
According to the results of the analysis on the pilot project, drivers who use M.Brain are able to cut down on their inattentiveness by up to 30% after meals, which is when drowsiness occurs the most. Inattentiveness leads to dangerous situations in which the driver falls asleep or cannot keep his/her eyes on the road ahead. M.Brain reduced inattentive driving by about 20% on highways where such driving could result in a huge crash.
It was also proven that M.Brain can help drivers to look ahead quickly even when they doze off or look elsewhere while driving. M.Brain detects inattentive driving in real time and alerts the driver through seat vibrations or warning sounds. It was also revealed that if you use M.Brain, your attention can be restored in 2.3 seconds maximum. This is approximately three times faster than 6.7 seconds in situations without using M.Brain. The technology is also forecast to be useful in responding to emergencies by securing a safe distance from the car traveling in front of you.
Above all, the feat accomplished in the M.Brain demonstration project is significant in that they obtained valid data on how brain waves vary depending on a driver's health conditions and the driving environment in actual traffic conditions. The key competitiveness in such in-vehicle healthcare lies in the data acquired from driving on roads. To that end, Hyundai Mobis will expand the deployment of M.Brain to a total of 300 public buses by the end of year. Their plan is to increase the size of the demonstration and adopt deep learning to speed up the analysis process.
Global competitors in the in-vehicle healthcare sector are at a stage where they are releasing new autonomous technologies using biosignals that are relatively easier to measure, such as those from the pupil of the eye or a pulse. Hyundai Mobis, however, was the first in the world to develop a brain wave technology that is one step more sophisticated than simple biosignal technologies and to also collect large-scale data on this.
In parallel, Hyundai Mobis is developing digital healthcare technologies by integrating deep learning for interpreting brain waves with other biosignals. They will expand various joint projects including pilot projects with local governments and the transportation industry. This is anticipated to allow Hyundai Mobis to deliver tailored healthcare and infotainment services using the biosignals of passengers once they reach the fully autonomous driving phase based on purpose-built vehicles (PBVs).

Sri Lankan PM to propose constitutional amendment
Sri Lankan Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa is set to propose to the cabinet to amend the constitution, media reports said on Monday.
- Country:
- Sri Lanka
Sri Lankan Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa is set to propose to the cabinet to amend the constitution, media reports said on Monday. Mahinda Rajapaksa made this move taking into consideration the demand for a government that is accountable to the people. The proposed constitutional amendment would include changes to the executive, legislature, and the judiciary, Xinhua reported citing the prime minister's media unit said.
One of the demands of recent anti-government protests has also been the constitutional amendment that reduces the power of the executive. Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa on Monday sworn in 17 new cabinet ministers after a wave of protests that swept the country earlier this month.
Mass protests over economic mismanagement escalated in early April, prompting the president to declare a state of emergency on April 1. On April 3, the entire Sri Lankan cabinet decided to resign in the wake of the large-scale protests. The only exception was Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa, who remained in office. On the same day, Gotabaya Rajapaksa appointed key ministers to an interim cabinet.
Sri Lanka has been gripped by an economic crisis considered the worst since the country gained independence in 1948. Due to energy shortages, some parts of Sri Lanka have rolling blackouts. Sri Lanka's foreign debt is estimated at USD 51 billion. (ANI)

Pakistan: Police open fire at Wana Bazaar protesters
The Pakistani local police and Frontier Corps (FC) personnel opened fire in the air on Sunday to disperse a group of protesters who were objecting to the shutting down of the Wana Bazaar and Angoor Adda border crossing point with Afghanistan.
- Country:
- Pakistan
The Pakistani local police and Frontier Corps (FC) personnel opened fire in the air on Sunday to disperse a group of protesters who were objecting to the shutting down of the Wana Bazaar and Angoor Adda border crossing point with Afghanistan. Traders and workers, belonging to several political parties, gathered at the Scout Camp in Wana and resolved to opt for a sit-in protest insisting on reopening the bazaar and the crossing point, reported Dawn newspaper.
Even after opening fire in the air, the mob of protesters refused to comply and continued with the agitation until the bazaar was forced to open after a settlement between the administration officials and the local elders was reached. The markets and shops in the Wana town were closed after a water tanker of FC was struck by a mechanized explosive device. An ambush on a security post on Tuesday had killed a soldier that had forced the closure of Angoor Adda crossing point.
Section 144 was imposed in the Wana subdivision on Saturday by the district administration. Internet facilities have also been cancelled, according to Dawn newspaper. Meantime, a jirga, comprising leaders of the Ahmadzai Wazir tribe, is instructed to attend a discussion on Monday, pertaining to the existing uncertainty in Wana and the shutdown of the Angoor Adda border point.

Pakistan irked by Afghan Taliban's inaction against TTP
Amid the growing incidents along the Pak-Afghan border, Pakistan's foreign office on Sunday issued a strong statement, saying terrorists were operating with impunity from Afghan soil.
- Country:
- Pakistan
Amid the growing incidents along the Pak-Afghan border, Pakistan's foreign office on Sunday issued a strong statement, saying terrorists were operating with impunity from Afghan soil. This comes after the recent incident at the Pakistan-Afghan border area that left seven Pakistani soldiers dead. This incident has added to the already widening rift between the two neighbours.
In response to this attack which was reportedly carried out from across the border from Afghanistan, Pakistan carried out airstrikes in Kunar and Khost provinces. "In the last few days, incidents along the Pak-Afghan Border have significantly increased, wherein Pakistani security forces were targeted from across the border," Pakistan's foreign office said in a statement.
Islamabad stressed that it had repeatedly requested the Afghan government in the last few months to secure the border region since terrorists were using Afghan soil with impunity to carry out activities inside Pakistan. The Taliban-led government later summoned Pakistan's Ambassador over the strikes and warned of serious consequences if such attacks did not stop.
The UN mission in Afghanistan expressed deep concern over the reports of civilian casualties as a result of airstrikes in the Khost and Kunar provinces. "UNAMA is deeply concerned by reports of civilian casualties, incl. women and children, as a result of airstrikes in Khost and Kunar provinces last night. Civilians are never a target. UNAMA is working to establish facts on the ground and verify the extent of losses. #Afghanistan," the UN mission tweeted. (ANI)

Olympus supports the recent creation of new reimbursement billing codes for Per-oral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) and Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) procedures; Decision is expected to improve patient access to the minimally invasive procedure
CENTER VALLEY, Pa., April 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Olympus, a global technology leader in designing and delivering innovative solutions for medical and surgical procedures, today announced its support of a new reimbursement from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services that is expected to improve patient access to Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) and for per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM). Both are minimally invasive procedures performed endoluminally as an alternative to open or laparoscopic surgery.
- Effective Jan. 1, 2022, a new level 1 CPT code is available for 43497, lower esophageal myotomy transoral, i.e. peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM).1
- Additionally, effective Oct. 1, 2021, there is a new HCPCS code C9779, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), including endoscopy or colonoscopy, mucosal closure, when performed.2
The issuance and availability of these POEM and ESD reimbursement billing codes will allow providers a pathway to access reimbursement, which is expected to increase patient access. POEM is an alternative to laparoscopic Heller's myotomy for the treatment of achalasia or non-relaxing lower esophageal sphincter. ESD is an established and effective treatment for GI tract lesions, including cancerous and precancerous tumors. Compared to Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR), ESD allows for the complete en bloc removal rather than piecemeal resection of large tumors greater than 2 cm. The procedure offers higher rate of complete tumor removal, reducing the need for laparoscopic surgery and the risks associated with it.3
"The decision to establish coding will lead to reimbursement and coverage of these procedures and means patients will now have a greater chance at an improved quality of life," says Dr. Norio Fukami, gastroenterologist with the Mayo Clinic in Arizona. "These decisions also present potential to raise patient and HCP awareness about treatment options that are available. Additionally, the issuance of these billing codes for these procedures is a first step in creating a consistent payment process for the procedure and an accountability of physicians for high quality procedures."
"Olympus is a pioneer of endoscopic endoluminal procedures. Starting with our work with physicians in Japan more than 20 years ago to develop endoscopic knives that allowed the introduction of ESD, we have been committed to expanding access to this minimally invasive procedure," said Kurt Heine, Group Vice President of the Endoscopy Division at Olympus Corp. "Through our partnership with GI societies, we have advocated for positive changes while striving to offer best-in-class education and a broad portfolio of devices to meet every procedural application."

Anti-Pak rallies in Afghanistan against airstrikes on Afghan soil
Anti-Pakistan rallies were held in Afghanistan on Monday in response to airstrikes conducted by Islamabad on Afghan soil that left more than 40 dead.
- Country:
- Afghanistan
Anti-Pakistan rallies were held in Afghanistan on Monday in response to airstrikes conducted by Islamabad on Afghan soil that left more than 40 dead. Pakistan struck the Afghan provinces of Khost and Kunar on Saturday, leaving more than 45 dead. Islamabad said it was in response to attacks emanating from Afghan soil.
Pakistani airstrikes prompted a series of protests across the country. Protestors and authorities in Afghanistan said these strikes were in violation of the country's sovereignty. A large number of people in Kandahar province staged protests on Monday in response to rocket attacks on Khost and Kunar provinces. People held anti-Pakistan banners and chanted slogans against the country, TOLO News reported.
"Pakistan's illegal attacks on our soil must be stopped," said Samiullah Mukhlis, a protester. Another protester, Gulab Shah, said: "No one is taking action. We want the Islamic Emirate to give a tooth-breaking response to Pakistan."
Similar protests were witnessed in Nangarhar on Sunday against Pakistani airstrikes on Afghan soil. Taliban led Defense Ministry called the attack tyrannical and warned that no country should provoke Afghanistan.
"No country should test the Afghans. Should not make the Afghans take a similar step. Throughout history, Afghans proved that they never stay without response towards any aggression," Defense Ministry spokesperson Inayatullah Khwarazimi was quoted as saying by TOLO News. Officials in Afghanistan also summoned the Pakistani envoy to Kabul over the attacks in Khost and Kunar provinces.
"Along with the IEA Foreign Minister Mawlawi Amir Khan Muttaqi, the session also included Deputy Defense Minister Alhaj Mullah Shirin Akhund where the Afghan side condemned the recent attacks," the ministry said in a statement. (ANI)

Speaking on the state of Russia's domestic economy, Putin said that inflation was stabilising and that retail demand in the country had normalised.
Western countries have imposed unprecedented sanctions on Russia's corporate and financial system since it sent troops into Ukraine on Feb. 24 in what it calls a "special military operation".

Court directs ASI not to remove idols of Lord Ganesha from Qutub Minar complex
- Country:
- India
A Delhi court has directed the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) not to remove two idols of Lord Ganesha from the Qutub Minar complex here till further directions.
"It is directed that status quo be maintained till the next date of hearing,'' said Additional District Judge Nikhil Chopra in the order passed on April 13, and posted the matter for further hearing on May 17.
The judge noted that ''although it is impressed by the ASI that they do not contemplate the removal of the idols at this stage, counsel for the ASI has candidly stated that he has no directions as to whether there is any possibility of relocation of idols in near future, the concern of the appellant, that ASI was likely to remove the idols to one of the National Museums as mere artifacts, could not be lost sight of.'' The court passed the order on a suit filed by advocate Hari Shankar Jain on behalf of Jain deity Tirthankar Lord Rishabh Dev, claiming that 27 temples were partly demolished by Qutubdin Aibak, a general in the army of Mohamad Gauri, and Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque was raised inside the complex by reusing the material.
Jain stated that there were two idols of Lord Ganesha, situated on the premises since times immemorial and that he apprehended that the ASI was likely to remove them to one of the National Museums as mere artifacts.
"It would imply injury to the sentiments of not only the appellants but also various sections of the public, having faith in the said idols. According to the appellant, the same as well may strike at the very fundamental rights of the appellant, and thus, the respondents need to be injuncted at this stage," the application said.
The application was opposed by the ASI on the ground that the apprehensions of the appellant were misplaced, as the ASI was not contemplating any removal or shifting of the idols as of now.
"Shifting of the idols would involve various permissions from different agencies, and have national implications as it would amount to a policy decision," the ASI stated.

Addition of custom video-based playbooks for building, launching, and adopting new strategies, processes, and messages will enhance commercial consulting and skills training business
RENO, Nev., April 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading consulting and training companies Corporate Visions and DSG are coming together to provide an expanded set of Revenue Growth Services to improve B2B commercial execution, the two firms announced today.
"Transforming marketing, sales, and customer success teams into a modern, integrated revenue growth engine requires a new playbook," says Erik Peterson, Chief Executive Officer at Corporate Visions. "One that is customized to your company and based on research-backed approaches that have been tested and proven to help you win where it counts—in customer conversations. That's the promise behind our merger with DSG."
"Both organizations are dedicated to turning your growth initiatives into positive commercial outcomes, but we do it in ways that are highly complementary and necessary," says Matt McClendon, Chief Executive Officer at DSG.

They equip and enable more than 100,000 marketing, sales, and customer success professionals with the messaging, content, skills, process, and leadership tools tailored to their acquisition, retention, and expansion goals.

"You can only get it by activating your strategy at speed and scale and creating a commercial engine that produces documented and repeatable results."

Majority of shops shuts, situation remains tense in Jahangirpuri
Meanwhile, officials from the crime branch were seen collecting footage of CCTV cameras from shops regarding the incident.Roshan, who owns a shop in C block which is a short walk from the mosque, was called by police to open the establishment so that the CCTV footage could be taken.

- India
Normal life remained impacted as a majority of shops kept their shutters down on Monday in northwest Delhi's Jahangirpuri area where the situation remained tense following the violent clashes during a Hanuman Jayanti procession on April 16. There was heavy police presence in the area and only a few locals were occasionally seen on the roads. The entire area has been barricaded with police asking people to take another route. Earlier in the day, the Delhi Police investigation team came under a ''minor'' attack after it went to the house of a man who was seen firing a gunshot during violence in Jahangirpuri. A crime branch officer suffered injuries in the stone-pelting, locals said. Deputy Commissioner of Police (Northwest) Usha Rangnani said a northwest district police team had gone to the suspect's house in CD Park Road for a search and examination of his family members. ''His family members pelted two stones at the police team. Legal action is being taken. One person has been detained in this case. The situation is completely under control now,'' she said. Meanwhile, officials from the crime branch were seen collecting footage of CCTV cameras from shops regarding the incident.
Roshan, who owns a shop in C block which is a short walk from the mosque, was called by police to open the establishment so that the CCTV footage could be taken. ''We are scared. What will happen next. We closed our shop after the incident. We live nearby. We were called by the police to open the shop so that the CCTV footage can be taken,'' the 50-year-old mother of two, told PTI while waiting for police to come. The police have pitched tents near the barricades. However, a few shops were seen open in G block which is around 200 meters away from the mosque. On Saturday, the protests were also reported at the G block. Rajesh Mishra, who owns a pet shop, said: ''The police have not prevented us from opening the shops. People are scared that's why they have kept them closed.'' Delhi Police Commissioner Rakesh Asthana Monday held a press conference and said 23 people from both communities have been arrested so far in connection with the Jahangirpuri violence, and asserted that those involved will not be spared irrespective of class, creed or religion. He said some people were trying to spread rumours on social media to keep the situation tense, and appealed to everyone to ignore them. The investigation into the Saturday clashes has been handed over to the Crime Branch and 14 teams have been formed to take it forward. PTI VA AKM TDS TDS

Modi govt's 'Swachh Bharat' campaign changed lives of people: BJP
- Country:
- India
Noting that the government has built toilets in over 11.5 crore households under its 'Swachh Bharat' mission, the BJP said on Monday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has worked to fulfil Mahatma Gandhi's dreams about cleanliness and effected change in the lives of a large number of Indians.
Referring to the Open Defecation Free (ODF) campaign and the scheme to supply piped drinking water to households, BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia told reporters that these measures will be written in ''golden letters'' in history.
He was addressing a press conference as part of the BJP's ''social justice'' campaign to highlight the government's initiatives specific to certain sectors or groups.
Over 58,000 villages and 3,300 towns have benefitted from the ODF Plus campaign, he said, claiming that the opposition had mocked Modi's cleanliness campaign launched in 2014 but it went on to become a mass movement.
He noted that Rs 7,192 crore has been allocated in the 2022-23 budget for the Swachh Bharat Mission (Rural) while Rs 1,41,678 crore will be spent during 2021-2026 for the Swachh Bharat Mission (Urban).
Earlier, Modi said in a tweet that new stories are being written in the field of cleanliness and the campaign shows how public participation can fill new energy in the development of a country.
Taking to Twitter, the prime minister shared a graphic detailing the achievements under the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan such as construction of toilets in over 11.5 crore households and more than 58,000 villages as well as over 3,300 cities becoming open defecation free.

Supreme Court is not district court where you can play with orders: SC to crypto scam accused
The Supreme Court on Monday took serious note of the non-compliance of its earlier order by a crypto-currency scam accused of not sharing his usernamepasswords with the Enforcement Directorate and said, We are not a district court where you can play with the orders.
- Country:
- India
The Supreme Court on Monday took serious note of the non-compliance of its earlier order by a crypto-currency scam accused of not sharing his username/passwords with the Enforcement Directorate and said, "We are not a district court where you can play with the orders". A bench of Justices DY Chandrachud and Surya Kant warned the accused that it would dismiss his plea for quashing the cases registered against him if he does not comply with the earlier orders of the court. "Why have you not shared your username and password when it was recorded in our earlier order? We will dismiss your writ petition if there is non-compliance. The Supreme Court is not some district court, where you can play with the orders. You yourself had made the statement that you will share the username and passwords and now there is non-compliance. This is not a Tis Hazari Court", the bench told advocate PC Sen appearing for one Ajay Bhardwaj. The bench asked the counsel to inform his client that he has to share the details with the ED and then it will hear him.
Additional Solicitor General Aishwarya Bhati, appearing for ED, said that the accused is not cooperating with the investigating agency and has not shared the relevant details with it. Senior advocate Siddharth Dave, also appearing for the accused, said all the relevant documents and email ids, and passwords were seized by the Pune Police including that of two crypto-currency wallets.
"ED does not understand the nuances of cryptocurrency but Pune Police does. They have been seized by cryptocurrency wallets' user id and passwords and even changed my password. They transferred 1800 Bitcoins from my wallet and an FIR has been lodged by the Pune Police against two policemen involved in transferring my Bitcoins", Dave said. He said that his client is not shying away from sharing the details of his user ID and password with the ED but it should be done in the presence of his advocate. Bhati said that these transactions have not taken place through normal banking channels and therefore it is important that the accused, who were running a Ponzi scheme, should share the details with the investigating agency. She said that one of the accused Amit Bhardwaj has expired while two other brothers and their father is an accused in the case and they should share the details of transactions through which investors were duped.
The bench disposed of the plea filed by Amit Bhardwaj after noting that he has expired and asked Dave to convey to his clients that the username and passwords of cryptocurrency wallets have to be shared by Tuesday. On March 28, the top court had asked a crypto-currency scam accused to disclose the username and password of his Bitcoin wallet to the ED and cooperate with the investigation in the money laundering case against him. It had said that subject to Ajay Bhardwaj, accused of running a "multi-level marketing scheme" of Bitcoin making full disclosure, his interim protection granted by the court will continue.
Advocate Shoeb Alam, appearing for one of the investors Vipin Kohli, had said that an application for cancellation of bail has been filed by him as Bhardwaj has not made full disclosure of facts to the court.
On February 25, the top court had asked the Centre to make its stand clear on whether cryptocurrency trade involving Bitcoin or any other such currencies is legal in India or not.
The top court was dealing with a case related to the quashing of multiple FIRs registered against Bhardwaj and others for allegedly duping investors across India by inducing them to trade in Bitcoin and assuring them high returns.
ED has submitted that they would file an affidavit on the legality of the cryptocurrency trade and added that the accused, who is seeking quashing of proceedings, has not been cooperating with the investigating agency after being granted bail by the court in 2019.
Bhati has said that 47 FIRs have been registered against the accused of duping people across the country and the issue involves a trade of 87,000 Bitcoin worth Rs 20,000 crore.
The top court had directed Bhardwaj to appear before the investigating officer of ED within two days and thereafter cooperate with the investigation as and when called upon to do so.
The bench said the ad-interim order restraining the arrest of Bhardwaj shall continue till the next date of listing of the matter.
Alam had said that Bhardwaj has deliberately suppressed the fact that Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM), Patiala House Court through court notice had issued a proclamation requiring the appearance of the accused under Section 82 of the Criminal Procedure Code.
The allegation against Bhardwaj is that he along with other co-accused, who are mostly his family members, had induced investors to invest in Bitcoin through a "multi-level marketing scheme" on false promises of securing the investors a 10 percent assured monthly returns for 18 months that is total of 180 percent profit.
It was alleged that due to the dishonest inducement, the customers invested their Bitcoins in the said business, but after making the investment they did not get the assured returns.
The FIRs also said that to escape from inevitable punishment under the law, Bhardwaj and other co-accused persons collectively, in a dishonest manner and with the deliberate intention of destroying all the evidence shut down the fake 'gainbitcoin' website through which investors made the investment.

Serbia accuses Ukraine and unnamed EU country of Air Serbia bomb hoaxes
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic accused Ukraine and an unidentified EU country of being behind a series of hoax bomb threats against Air Serbia planes. Since Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine in late February, more than a dozen Air Serbia flights have been forced to return to Belgrade or Moscow due to bomb threats, and Belgrade's airport was evacuated at least three times.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic accused Ukraine and an unidentified EU country of being behind a series of hoax bomb threats against Air Serbia planes.
Since Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine in late February, more than a dozen Air Serbia flights have been forced to return to Belgrade or Moscow due to bomb threats, and Belgrade's airport was evacuated at least three times. "Foreign (intelligence) services of two countries are doing that. One is an EU country, and Ukraine is another one," Vucic said late on Sunday, without providing evidence.
In a statement, Oleg Nikolenko, a spokesman for Ukraine's Foreign Ministry, dismissed Vucic's remarks as "baseless" and "untrue". He also said Ukraine was disappointed with Serbia's refusal to join EU sanctions against Russia.
"We call on Belgrade to stand up for the truth and fully join in support of Ukraine and in upholding the values on which united democratic Europe is founded," it said. Serbia, a candidate for EU membership, is almost entirely dependent on Russian gas and oil. It refuses to impose sanctions against the Kremlin and it maintains regular flights to Moscow.
"We are continuing these flights literally out of principle because we want to show that we are a free country and we make our own decisions," Vucic said. "Do not decide for us when to cancel flights."
In recent weeks Belgrade has voted three times for UN resolutions that condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine and suspended it from the main U.N. human rights body. Moscow calls its actions in Ukraine a special military operation to denazify the country.

Sepsis is the leading cause of hospital deaths in the United States; New York was the first state to require the adoption of evidence-based protocols for the rapid identification and treatment of sepsis
NEW YORK, April 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- END SEPSIS, the nation's leading sepsis prevention advocacy organization, today announced that the implementation of mandatory sepsis protocols and sepsis data reporting by all acute care hospitals in New York State, it is estimated to have saved more than 16,000 lives between 2015 and 2019.
Sepsis is the number one cause of death in hospitals across the United States. However, sepsis protocols in hospitals have been proven to reduce deaths from sepsis and to lower healthcare costs. New York was the first state to implement mandatory sepsis protocols and has paved the way for other states to follow this model.
The protocol requirements were precipitated by the death of 12-year-old Queens boy, Rory Staunton, from undiagnosed, untreated sepsis in a New York City Hospital in 2012. The regulations are known as Rory's Regulations in honor of Staunton.
"Because of these regulations, there are 16,011 New Yorker families that have been spared the unspeakable pain that we have endured," said Ciaran and Orlaith Staunton, Rory Staunton's parents and the founders of END SEPSIS, the Legacy of Rory Staunton, an organization dedicated to ending preventable deaths from sepsis. "If they had been in place when we brought Rory to the hospital, he would be alive today. Sepsis protocols save lives. The federal government and other states need to follow New York's lead."
"Since the passage of Rory's Regulations, hospitals are now required to adopt important protocols that help with the early detection and treatment of sepsis," State Health Commissioner Dr. Mary T. Bassett said. "Sepsis is a serious and potentially life-threatening medical condition - caused by a reaction throughout a person's body in response to an infection - and these efforts played an important role in saving thousands of New Yorkers' lives."
Sepsis Protocols New York State: Rory's Regulations
In 2013, END SEPSIS spearheaded efforts to make New York State the first in the nation to establish a statewide mandate requiring all hospitals to adopt sepsis protocols. The regulations require all acute care hospitals in the state to develop and implement evidence-based protocols designed to improve rapid identification and treatment of sepsis. Protocols must be periodically updated based on newly available evidence and must be submitted to the New York State Department of Health for review upon request.
Under Rory's Regulations, each hospital must adopt a set of protocols that provide for:
- A process for the screening and early recognition of patients with sepsis, severe sepsis, and septic shock.
- A process to identify and document individuals appropriate for treatment with protocols for severe sepsis and septic shock.
- Guidelines for treatment, including the early delivery of antibiotics.
- Suitable training for healthcare providers for quickly recognizing and treating sepsis in adults and children.
- The reporting of sepsis-related data to the New York State Department of Health for use in evaluation and creation of risk-adjusted mortality rates.
A study published in the American Journal of Respiratory ND Critical Care Medicine, found that in the first 30 months of implementation, sepsis protocols in New York State reduced in hospital mortality for adult sepsis patients by 17 percent." (From 28.8% to 24.4%). Another study published by the JAMA Network indicated that the odds of sepsis mortality for pediatric patients was reduced by 40 percent when protocols were fully implemented.
Former New York State Commissioner of Health Dr. Nirav R. Shah, who was NY State Commissioner of Health at the time the regulations were adopted, recently said the following about the regulations and estimated lives saved, "What Rory taught us is that measuring what matters can make a big difference when it comes to sepsis care. All Americans deserve the sepsis care we have in New York hospitals, and the time is now to take New York's approach across the nation."
END SEPSIS, the Legacy of Rory Staunton, works to end the hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths and devastating disabilities that result from sepsis in the U.S. each year. Through public awareness and education, quality improvement, advocacy and family support, END SEPSIS has successfully spearheaded the most aggressive public battles and cutting-edge, action-based initiatives to keep families safe and end this public health emergency. END SEPSIS envisions a world where everyone understands sepsis as a medical emergency, recognizes its signs, and can confidently advocate for their own care and the care of others and where patients are met in healthcare settings by medical professionals trained to rapidly recognize and treat sepsis.

Following is a summary of current US domestic news briefs.
Alex Jones' InfoWars files for bankruptcy in U.S. court
Far-right wing website InfoWars on Sunday filed for voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas in the face of multiple defamation lawsuits. Chapter 11 bankruptcy procedures put a hold on all civil litigation matters and allow companies to prepare turnaround plans while remaining operational.
Trump attempt at a coup to be a focus of U.S. House hearings, lawmaker Raskin says
Then-President Donald Trump attempted a coup on Jan. 6, 2021, and that will be a centerpiece of committee hearings in Congress next month, said Democrat Jamie Raskin, a committee member who led the prosecution of Trump's second impeachment. On that day in 2021, Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol building, encouraged by the Republican president in a speech outside the White House to protest formal congressional certification of Democrat Joe Biden's victory over Trump in a November 2020 election.
Twelve injured, 10 by gunfire, in shooting at South Carolina shopping mall

Columbia Police Chief William Holbrook said the shooting at the Columbiana Centre mall was not believed to have been a random act of violence but rather stemmed from "some kind of conflict" among a group of armed individuals who knew each other.
Lawmaker Raskin sees hope for U.S. climate legislation this year
U.S. Democrats in Congress squabbling over how best to invest in the fight against climate change will forge a compromise in coming months that could be signed into law by President Joe Biden, Democratic Representative Jamie Raskin predicts. Significantly, Raskin signaled that he and other liberals should be willing to compromise on the shape of such a package, although he gave no details on what those compromises might be.
U.S. arrests 210,000 migrants at Mexico border in March, rivaling record highs
U.S. border authorities arrested 210,000 migrants attempting to cross the border with Mexico in March, the highest monthly total in two decades and underscoring challenges in the coming months for U.S. President Joe Biden. The March total is a 24% increase from the same month a year earlier, when 169,000 migrants were picked up at the border, the start of a rise in migration that left thousands of unaccompanied children stuck in crowded border patrol stations for days while they awaited placement in overwhelmed government-run shelters.
Police hunt for Pittsburgh party shooters who killed 2, injured several
Police were searching for the shooters who opened fire at a house party in the East Allegheny neighborhood of Pittsburgh that left two young people dead in the early hours of Sunday. The two victims were both under 18 while eight more sustained gunshot wounds, police said, revising an earlier tally. An additional five were injured as they jumped out of windows or otherwise tried to flee gunfire that erupted at the short-term rental property where hundreds of people, mostly juveniles, had gathered at a large party.
Mexican union calls for U.S. probe into alleged labor abuses at Panasonic plant
A Mexican union said on Monday it will ask the U.S. government to investigate a Panasonic plant for alleged worker rights abuses, the latest in a series of disputes seeking to leverage a new trade deal to improve workplace conditions in Mexico. In a petition to U.S. labor officials, to be filed on Monday and shared with Reuters, Mexican union SNITIS said a Panasonic plant in the border city of Reynosa violated the 2020 United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) by signing a union contract behind workers' backs and firing several dozen employees who protested. "It's important to keep the U.S. government informed that worker rights are being violated," said Rosario Moreno, head of SNITIS, an independent union that grew out of worker dissatisfaction with traditional labor groups in the northern state of Tamaulipas.

LOS ANGELES, April 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Schall Law Firm, a national shareholder rights litigation firm, reminds investors of a class action lawsuit against Pulse Biosciences, Inc. ("Pulse" or "the Company") (NASDAQ: PLSE) for violations of §§10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Investors who purchased the Company's securities between January 12, 2021 and February 7, 2022, inclusive (the ''Class Period''), are encouraged to contact the firm before April 18, 2022.

According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. Pulse's investigational device exemption ("IDE") study of the CellFX System for the treatment of sebaceous hyperplasia lesions did not meet its primary endpoints. This failure increased the risk that the FDA would not approve the Company's 510(k) submission seeking label expansion for CellFX.

Supplier Leadership on Climate Transition guides 400+ Suppliers through GHG Emissions Footprinting, Goal Setting
WASHINGTON, April 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Guidehouse, a leading global provider of strategic consulting services, today announced the addition of nine global brands to the Supplier Leadership on Climate Transition (Supplier LoCT), a consortium created to accelerate action throughout the supply chain in the march toward net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Established in April 2021, Supplier LoCT has gained significant momentum in the past year expanding its business leadership from three founding members - Mars, Incorporated, PepsiCo, and McCormick & Company - to 12 corporations with the addition of Atlantic Packaging, The Coca-Cola Company, The Estée Lauder Companies, General Mills, Keurig Dr Pepper, Mondelēz International, Nestlé, Restaurant Brands International, and Yum! Brands.
Brand members of Supplier LoCT sponsor the participation of their suppliers in a series of Guidehouse-led instructional seminars on developing a GHG footprint, setting a science-based target, adopting GHG abatement measures, and disclosing progress. Participants get direct mentoring and actionable instructions on how to build internal capacity and earn recognition for their accomplishments as they move through each stage. As it enters its second year, the consortium has tripled supplier enrollment in the virtual learning seminars, with more than 1,200 representatives from over 400 supplier firms now embarked in the Supplier LoCT guided journey.
Until recently, most companies have focused on measuring emissions from their own operations and electricity consumption, referred to as scope 1 and 2 emissions. "For many brands, particularly in the food, beverage, and consumer goods sectors, the majority of their GHG emissions are in the supply chain referred to as scope 3 emissions," said Britt Harter, Guidehouse's sustainability solutions lead. "The Supplier LoCT model is proving to be both a practical and scalable approach to the complex challenge of how to drive down those supply chain emissions not directly under the brand's control."
The Supplier LoCT brands have also issued an invitation to join the collaboration to industry peers who have committed to climate goals recognized by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi.) "Effectively delivering against net-zero will require a deep transformation of global supply chains, which will only be possible if companies embed climate action deep into the core of their procurement strategy," said Barry Parkin, chief procurement and sustainability officer at Mars, Incorporated. "With more than three-quarters of our emissions coming from the materials that we purchase at Mars, we recognise that supporting our suppliers on a low-carbon transition will be critical in mitigating our impact on the planet. Pre-competitive collaboration between global businesses and suppliers, such as through Supplier LoCT, will be vital in driving the scale and reach needed to overhaul global supply chains."
"Our membership in Supplier LoCT has been instrumental not only in helping us manage our scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions but also in helping increase the resilience of the smallholder farmers who grow our iconic herbs and spices," said Michael Okoroafor, the chief sustainability officer for McCormick & Company. "Through our partnership with Guidehouse, the resources we've been able to provide our suppliers is invaluable, and to date, we have provided access to financial support and ongoing training to help more than 90 of our suppliers manage their businesses more sustainably."
Investors and regulators are increasingly calling for companies to be disclose emissions throughout the value chain, according to Steven Clarke, senior director for climate & energy at Ceres, a nonprofit working with capital market leaders to solve sustainability challenges. "The companies in Supplier LoCT are taking an important step by going beyond goal setting to address their scope 3 emissions through education and engagement with their suppliers," he said.
"As businesses work to transition to a low-carbon economy, it's absolutely integral to collaborate closely with suppliers to reduce scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions," said Roberto Canevari, executive vice president and chief supply chain officer, The Estée Lauder Companies. "The Estée Lauder Companies is proud to be the first beauty company to join Supplier LoCT and is committed to partnering with our diverse supplier network to accelerate sustainability across our own value chain and the prestige beauty industry."
Supplier LoCT participants are already reporting some of their progress and steps taken within their companies to place greater focus on decarbonization. "Through our involvement in Supplier LoCT, we gained a solid understanding of the science-based targets initiative and the importance of addressing our own scope 3 emissions," said Damian O'Malley, sustainability program coordinator within the Silgan family, a leading supplier of consumer packaging goods. "As a result of our participation, we have successfully completed our first Carbon Disclosure Project submission and secured CEO support for signing the SBTi commitment letter."
"We've learned a great deal on our journey to a science-based, net-zero target, and our suppliers' climate action is critical to achieving our goal of net-zero by 2040," said Roberta Barbieri, vice president of global sustainability at PepsiCo. "Collaborative efforts will help ensure what we've learned is shared with our entire supplier base. We welcome the new members and suppliers and look forward to learning from one another."
"Atlantic has several of our key suppliers currently enrolled in Supplier LoCT, and we're excited to say that all of them have been 100% engaged with the sessions thus far," said Caroline James, director of sustainability at Atlantic Packaging. "One supplier told us that they were hearing about needing to measure their greenhouse gas emissions but didn't know how to begin. Supplier LoCT has demystified the calculation process and helped them begin to chart a path toward reduction."
Enrollment is currently open for supplier learning seminars to begin in September 2022 and will include a new track to guide suppliers as they explore abatement options. "We will continue to evolve the topics addressed in the learning seminars as suppliers share where they need additional support and guidance," said Nicole DelSasso, associate director at Guidehouse and executive director of Supplier LoCT.

One more accused has been arrested in connection with the Jahangirpuri violence case, said police. The total number of arrests in the case is now 22 while two juveniles have also been apprehended.
"During the probe of the Jahangirpuri violence case, one more accused namely a 36-year-old Sheikh Hameed has been arrested. He is a scrap dealer.

The court then sent two prime accused - Ansar and Aslam - to police custody for one day. The remaining 12 were sent to judicial custody for 14 days.
Delhi Police Commissioner Rakesh Asthana, while addressing a press conference on Monday, assured that action will be taken against those found guilty irrespective of their class, creed, community and religion. He also said that a close watch is being kept on social media platforms to tackle the spread of misinformation and those involved will face legal action.
Talking about the investigation into the incident, Asthana said the police are doing an analysis of the CCTV footage of the incident and digital media. Three firearms and five swords have been recovered from the possession of the accused persons, said police.
Speaking to ANI, Delhi's top cop said, "As of now, three firearms recovered. A forensic examination will be done on the recovery. Restrictions in the Jahangirpuri area were imposed to create a sense of safety. The police deployment will be decreased after the situation gets better."

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society aims to turn vision of a world without blood cancer into a reality through epic "Big Climb"
RYE BROOK, N.Y., April 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Approximately every 180 seconds, someone in the U.S. is diagnosed with a blood cancer, and there is currently no means of prevention. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) is working tirelessly to find cures and provide support for blood cancer patients and their families more than any organization in the world. On May 14, one of its newest fundraising innovations aiming to end blood cancer, Big Climb, will bring hundreds together to conquer the Bank of America Tower virtually.
Experience the interactive Multichannel News Release here: https://www.multivu.com/players/English/8922353-leukemia-and-lymphoma-society-big-climb-2022/
"Every step you take will help fuel the research and care that has made The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society the gold standard of cancer nonprofits," said Coker Powell, LLS Chief Development Officer. "Wherever you live, you can help save lives and take cancer down by being a part of Big Climb.''
Conquering the 1,500 total number of steps that would take participants to the top of Bank of America Plaza can be done in a few different ways:
- Climb 1,500 steps in your home, apartment building, or even a community park
- Tackle 3 to 4 miles of walking, jogging or running
- 500 chair step-ups to accomplish your climb
In addition to the virtual climb happening on May 14, participants can join their local communities for in-person climb events in landmarks across the U.S. throughout the Spring. See the full list of events here.
"No matter how individuals decide to climb, conquer, and cure, everyone can help raise funds to support LLS's investment in groundbreaking research to advance blood cancer cures and its first-in-class patient education and services," said Powell.
Participants can climb in honor of local patients in their communities who are spotlighted as a source of inspiration throughout their Big Climb journey.
Through fundraising events like Big Climb, LLS has invested more than $1.5 billion since its inception in research to advance breakthrough therapies. The funds raised through LLS's campaigns are used for:
- Research to advance lifesaving therapies like immunotherapy, genomics and personalized medicine, which are saving lives today.
- Free blood cancer information, education and support for patients and families.
- National and local advocacy efforts driving policies that safely accelerate new treatments and ensure patients have access to care so that they can live longer, healthier lives.
"As we look towards the future of fundraising, we will continue to tap into our long history of innovation to create engaging and inspiring opportunities for fundraisers and donors that can lead us to a world where no one has to face the devastation of blood cancer," said Powell.
While Big Climb is one of LLS's newest addition to its national fundraising campaign portfolio, LLS pioneered this novel charity climb approach over 30 years ago in Seattle. LLS's signature fundraisers have helped LLS invest in cutting-edge research worldwide, fueling nearly every critical advancement in blood cancer treatment that spans the most promising science, including immunotherapy and personalized medicine.
Despite the progress, more than a third of blood cancer patients still do not survive five years after their diagnosis.

Men carried weapons during Ram Navami procession at Delhi's Jahangirpuri: CPI(M) leaders
This is highly irregular and strengthens the apprehension of an entirely partisan and biased police role in the present case, the letter read.The leaders appealed to the commissioner to take action against the police personnel who allowed weapons to be carried during the procession, who were responsible for the lack of adequate arrangements, who allowed the procession to stop in front of a mosque and those conducting a one-sided, biased investigation.You have stated that people from both communities have been arrested.
- Country:
- India
New Delhi, Apr 18 (PTI) CPI(M) Politburo member Brinda Karat and the party's Delhi state committee secretary K M Tewari have alleged that the Ram Navami procession taken out in Delhi's Jahangirpuri was armed, with several men carrying ''swords, lathis and firearms'', days after communal violence broke out in the area.
In a letter to the Delhi police commissioner, the duo have also raised questions over the role of the force in the incident.
''Video evidence aired on several television channels, along with eyewitness reports to our fact-finding team, is conclusive evidence that the procession taken out by members of the youth wing of the Bajrang Dal was armed, with several men carrying naked swords, lathis and also, shockingly, firearms.
''These weapons were openly flaunted and brandished during the procession. The police have stated that the procession had police permission. Did the police give permission to carry arms? In fact, the processionists who carried arms had clearly violated the Arms Act, which has stringent provisions of imprisonment for such violations,'' the letter read.
It also said from the police commissioner's statements to the media, it is unclear whether those carrying arms during the procession were identified or not.
''If so, whether they have been arrested under the relevant provisions of law, including the Arms Act. It is also unclear from your statement whether there is any investigation into the role of the police.
''Who is accountable for allowing an armed procession to stop in front of a mosque, shouting provocative and aggressive slogans at the exact time when the prayers to break the Roza fast were scheduled to begin? Such deliberate acts of omission and commission by the police have directly resulted in the ensuing incidents,'' the letter written by the Left leaders read.
While both the leaders raised the issue of injuries suffered by police personnel during the violence, they also asked if senior officers had followed due diligence in the matter.
''...if adequate police arrangements had been made, if action had been taken against weapon-carrying processionists, if the procession had not been allowed to stop in front of the mosque -- the incidents would not have taken place. It should be noted that there have never been incidents of a communal nature in this area earlier. Two communities have lived together in harmony. This is further evidence that the events were manufactured by outsiders in the procession in the name of shobha yatra,'' the letter read.
The Communist Party of India (Marxist) leaders also said they have information that male police personnel raided houses in C block at night and ''manhandled and beat up women''.
''This is against all norms and rules laid down, which forbid male police personnel to touch a woman. Further, on the 17th (April), when our members along with others had met Additional DCP Kishen Kumar at the Jahangirpuri police station, they were shocked to find that leaders of the BJP were holding a press conference within the compound of the thana. This is highly irregular and strengthens the apprehension of an entirely partisan and biased police role in the present case,'' the letter read.
The leaders appealed to the commissioner to take action against the police personnel who allowed weapons to be carried during the procession, who were responsible for the lack of adequate arrangements, who allowed the procession to stop in front of a mosque and those conducting a ''one-sided, biased'' investigation.
''You have stated that people from both communities have been arrested. We stand for the arrest and punishment of all those guilty. However, the overwhelming majority of arrests is from the minority community, whereas the course of events shows that the main provocations and planning for the incidents were done by the organisation which held the procession -- an affiliate of the Bajrang Dal as stated by the police.
''The Crime Branch, to whom the investigation has been handed over, is under the overall jurisdiction of the very police force which in the case of the Jahangirpuri incident is responsible. It is for this reason that the CPI(M) has demanded a time-bound judicial inquiry or an impartial investigation. In the meanwhile, we request you to take action against the police responsible,'' the letter read.

Police confirm first death in Khargone riots after man's body found in Indore hospital
- Country:
- India
A 30-year-old man who went missing during communal clashes in Madhya Pradesh's Khargone city on Ram Navami has become the first fatality of the violence but his death has raised allegations of a cover-up with his kin on Monday accusing the police of keeping his death under wraps for eight days.
The body of Ibresh Khan was kept at a government hospital in Indore, around 100km from here, for eight days after it was found in Khargone's Anand Nagar area as freezer facility was not available in the riot-hit city, police said.
The state government, however, has claimed a case of murder was registered on April 11 itself, a day after the riots broke out in Khargone during Ram Navami celebrations, following a postmortem on the body.
A police officer said that Ibresh Khan died due to serious injuries to his head caused by stones. Communal clashes had broken out in Khargone city on April 10 during a Ram Navami procession, leading to arson and stone-pelting, and imposition of a curfew. Superintendent of Police Siddharth Choudhary had received a bullet injury during the violence.
''An unidentified body was found in the night of communal violence in the Anand Nagar area of Khargone,'' In-charge Superintendent of Police (SP) Rohit Kashwani told reporters. He said since there was no freezer facility available in Khargone, the body was kept at the Indore government hospital after a postmortem. Kashwani said the family members of Ibresh Khan registered a missing person complaint on April 14.
''Ibresh Khan's body was handed over to his family members on Sunday after they identified him'', he said, adding further investigation was underway.
Kashwani said that Ibresh Khan died due to serious injuries to his head caused by stones. However, a kin of Ibresh Khan, a resident of the Islampura area, alleged a cover-up by the police.
Ibresh Khan's brother Ikhlaq Khan claimed that the deceased was seen in the custody of the police by some people on April 12. He alleged that the police informed him about Ibresh Khan's death and the whereabouts of his body only after he threatened to go to the media.
Ikhlaq Khan alleged that Ibresh Khan had gone to provide food for 'Iftar' (evening meal eaten by Muslims during Ramadan fasting) in the Anand Nagar area when he was hit by a stone. ''The people in Anand Nagar attacked my brother with weapons and crushed his head with a stone,'' he alleged while speaking to reporters.
Ikhlaq Khan also claimed that Ibresh Khan was seen in the custody of the police by some people on April 12 but these witnesses were not ready to depose. ''A policeman came to me on Sunday night and told me that Ibresh's body is kept in Indore,'' he said.
Ikhlaq Khan claimed that the condition of Ibresh Khan's body indicates that he was brutally attacked. ''While his one eye was broken there were cuts on his face and legs,'' he said. Ikhlaq Khan alleged that the police kept the family members in the dark about the whereabouts of his brother for eight days.
''They didn't disclose the whereabouts of my brother even after registering a missing person complaint. The police informed me about my brother's body only after I threatened to go to the media,'' he claimed. Meanwhile, state Home Minister Narottam Mishra said following the postmortem report, a case of murder was registered on April 11.
The body was unidentified at that time and later a missing complaint was lodged and subsequently the deceased was identified, he said and added further investigation was underway.
In reply to a question about some organisations threatening to go to courts against administrative actions post-violence, including demolition of ''illegal'' homes and shops of alleged riot accused in the city, Mishra said the state government has acted against rioters as per the law and those aggrieved are free to go to courts.
Meanwhile, the curfew was relaxed for four hours on Monday - from 12 pm to 2 pm and from 3 pm to 5 pm - following improvement in the situation in Khargone, officials said.
Stores selling milk, vegetables, provisions and medicines, among others, were allowed to remain open during the curfew relaxation hours.
Local residents were allowed to make purchases of essential items without using their vehicles, they said.
In a related development, a delegation of Muslim clerics on Monday called on Madhya Pradesh Chief Secretary Iqbal Singh Bains and submitted a memorandum demanding setting up of a high-level committee to look into alleged selective actions of the police and the district administration after the riots.
The memorandum claimed some of about 200 people of the Muslim community, who were arrested in connection with the violence, have sustained fractures and their cause should be probed.
The delegation claimed a local resident, who died ''several years'' ago, figures in one of the FIRs registered against the rioters. This raises questions over the police action, it added.

Turkey launches new ground, air offensive in northern Iraq
Turkey has launched a new ground and air cross-border offensive against Kurdish militants in northern Iraq, that has left at least 19 suspected Kurdish rebels dead and has wounded at least four Turkish soldiers, Turkey's defense minister said Monday.
Turkish jets and artillery struck suspected targets of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, and commando troops — supported by helicopters and drones — then crossed into the region by land or were airlifted by helicopters, Defense Minister Hulusi Akar said in a video posted on the ministry's website.
Akar said the jets successfully struck shelters, bunkers, caves, tunnels, ammunition depots and headquarters belonging to the PKK. The group maintains bases in northern Iraq and has used the territory for attacks on Turkey.
At least 19 militants were killed while four Turkish troops were wounded during the offensive, the ministry said. There was no immediate comment from the Kurdish militant group on the incursion and the defense ministry statement couldn't be verified independently.
Turkey has conducted numerous cross-border aerial and ground operations against the PKK over the past decades. The latest offensive, named Operation Claw Lock, was centered in northern Iraq's Metina, Zap and Avashin-Basyan regions.
There was no information on the number of troops and jets involved in the latest incursion.
“Our heroic commandoes and maroon berets — supported by attack helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles, armed unmanned aerial vehicles — arrived on the scene by land and by air and captured the determined targets,” Akar said in a second video. “Many terrorists were neutralized.” “At this point we have reached, all planned targets have been captured,” he said.
The Defense Ministry said the new offensive was launched after it was determined that the militants were regrouping and preparing for a “large-scale attack.” The offensive was carried out in coordination with Turkey's “friends and allies,” the ministry added, but didn't elaborate. Last week, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan met with Masrour Barzani, the prime minister of Iraq's autonomous Kurdish region, which controls the areas that were attacked.
The Turkish minister said the incursion was targeting “terrorists” and that “maximum sensitivity” was being shown to avoid damage to civilians and cultural and religious structures.
Tens of thousands of people have been killed since the PKK, which is designated a terrorist organization by the U.S. and the European Union, began an insurgency in Turkey's majority Kurdish southeast region in 1984.

Klein Tools and Home Builders Institute partner for celebration across North America of the next generation of skilled trade workers
LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill., April 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- With a longstanding commitment to encouraging the next generation of trade professionals, Klein Tools, the 165-year-old leader in hand tools, today announced the first global celebration of future trades men and women. Working in partnership with the Home Builders Institute (HBI), the inaugural International Signing Day event will take place on April 21, 2022, with events across North America.
NFL quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, a vocal supporter for the skilled trades, will be joined by his father, Tony, a recently retired career electrician, as part of the International Signing Day. The two will make virtual appearances at Signing Day events, showing their continued support for those taking the next step at advancing their career in the skilled trades.
"Jimmy and I have partnered with Klein Tools and HBI to celebrate the lifechanging decision these students are making as part of International Signing Day," said Tony Garoppolo. "This is a cause that is incredibly important to my family. We know first-hand what a viable career working in the trades can be, and we want to celebrate the next generation of students making that commitment."
As part of the International Signing Day event, Klein Tools and HBI, with the support of The Home Depot Foundation, will host events for high school students who are looking to pursue careers in the skilled trades. As part of the events, high school seniors will receive recognition from their school administration, peers, friends, and family as they sign a letter of intent for an apprenticeship program, similar to letters signed by high school athletes looking to make the jump to college athletics. The day's events will be filled with guest speakers, demonstrations, and more.
"The importance of an event like International Signing Day cannot be understated, as there is a very noticeable skills gap in the trade sector," said Greg Palese, Vice-President of Marketing at Klein Tools. "If we don't begin actively recruiting a new generation of trade workers, America will be faced with an insurmountable workforce need in the immediate future."
Addressing the looming gap in skilled professional trade workers is something that Klein Tools has devoted time and resources to in recent years, so much so that the company recently issued a report titled "Dark by 2050." The report examines the future of the United States over the next three decades if it does not fill the sizable need for trades men and women.
Specifically looking at the need for electricians, the report identified the median age for line workers in the U.S. is 40 years old, which would indicate that many are beginning to age out of the profession. The report also suggested that if current hiring and retirement trends continue and remain unaddressed, there will be a shortage of nearly 300,000 line workers nationwide by 2050.
"We are in a labor shortage crisis which not only impacts home builders, but it also affects consumers and communities everywhere," said HBI President and CEO Ed Brady. "The more a shortage of skilled workers grows, the more housing and homeownership become less affordable. Events like International Signing Day are critical to help excite the next generation of trade workers and show them that their commitment to these fields will ultimately play a crucial role in helping to shape the future of the U.S."
For HBI, which operates and licenses over 500 programs in 47 states, this is the latest effort by the organization to show its support for skilled trade workers. Earlier this year, the company announced an expansion of its partnership with The Home Depot Foundation as part of Path to Pro trades training program.
More details on International Signing Day, including statistics on the skills gap, opportunities available in the trades and cost comparisons between trade school and college can be found at www.kleintools.com/nsd.

When will PM sack Ajay Mishra? asks Congress after SC cancels bail of Union minister's son
- Country:
- India
The Congress on Monday slammed the Central government after the Supreme Court cancelled the bail granted to Union minister Ajay Mishra’s son Ashish in the Lakhimpur Kheri violence case, and questioned when will Prime Minister Narendra Modi sack his cabinet colleague.
Congress general secretary and chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said that finally the Supreme Court cancelled the bail of the minister's son who ''trampled'' upon the farmers in Lakhimpur.
''When will Modi ji sack Ajay Mishra Teni from his cabinet? When will the BJP stop betraying the farmers and strengthening the killer? For how long will the Modi government continue to oppress the farmers?'' Surjewala said in a tweet.
Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said injustice and atrocities of the “cruellest degree” were meted out to the families of the farmers killed in the Lakhimpur violence.
''The families of the victims of the Lakhimpur farmers’ massacre are fighting for justice full of struggles. Under the protection of power, injustice and atrocities of the cruellest degree were meted out to them,'' the Congress general secretary said in a tweet in Hindi.
''It is the responsibility of all of us to stand by the victims' families till the end in their fight for justice, no matter how long the struggle is,'' she said.
The Supreme Court on Monday cancelled the bail granted by the Allahabad High Court to the Union minister’s son in the case and asked him to surrender in a week's time.
A special bench of Chief Justice N V Ramana and Justices Surya Kant and Hima Kohli held that the high court took into account irrelevant considerations and gave extra weightage to the contents of the FIR.
On October 3 last year, eight people were killed in Lakhimpur Kheri during violence that erupted when farmers were protesting against Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya's visit to the area.
Four farmers were mowed down by an SUV, in which Ashish Mishra was seated, according to the UP Police FIR. Following the incident, the driver and two BJP workers were allegedly lynched by angry farmers.
A journalist also died in the violence that triggered outrage among opposition parties and farmer groups agitating over the Centre's now-repealed agricultural reform laws.

"It's a great honor to be recognized by such a highly respected authority as Forbes," said Joseph P. Biondo. "And although it's my name that appears on the list, the recognition really belongs to our entire team. Our approach has always been focused on 'we' rather than 'I' and that's a big part of what's made us successful and led to this honor."

Ukrainian officials: Russian strikes kill at least 7 in Lviv
Russian missiles hit the western Ukrainian city of Lviv on Monday, killing at least seven people, Ukrainian officials said, as Moscows troops stepped up strikes on infrastructure in preparation for an all-out assault on the east.Plumes of thick, black smoke rose over the city after a series of explosions shattered windows and started fires.
Russian missiles hit the western Ukrainian city of Lviv on Monday, killing at least seven people, Ukrainian officials said, as Moscow's troops stepped up strikes on infrastructure in preparation for an all-out assault on the east.
Plumes of thick, black smoke rose over the city after a series of explosions shattered windows and started fires. Lviv and the rest of western Ukraine have seen only sporadic strikes during almost two months of war and have become a relative safe haven for people from parts of the country where fighting has been more intense.
Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, meanwhile, vowed to “fight absolutely to the end” in strategically vital Mariupol, where the last known pocket of resistance in a seven-week siege was holed up in a sprawling steel plant laced with tunnels. Russia has repeatedly urged forces there to lay down their arms, but those remaining ignored a surrender-or-die ultimatum on Sunday.
Seven people were killed and 11 wounded in overnight missile strikes, according to Lviv Mayor Andriy Sadovyi and the regional governor, Maksym Kozytskyy. The governor said the Russian strikes hit three military infrastructure facilities and an auto mechanic shop. He said the wounded included a child, and emergency teams were battling fires caused by the strikes A hotel sheltering Ukrainians who had fled fighting farther east was among the buildings badly damaged in the attack, the mayor said.
“The nightmare of war has caught up with us even in Lviv,'' said Lyudmila Turchak, 47, who fled with two children from the eastern city Kharkiv. ''There is no longer anywhere in Ukraine where we can feel safe.” A powerful explosion also rocked Vasylkiv, a town south of the capital of Kyiv that is home to a military airbase, according to residents. Video posted on social media sites showed smoke in the area after the blast. It was not immediately clear what was hit, and there was no official confirmation from authorities.
Military analysts say Russia is increasing its strikes on weapons factories, railways and other infrastructure targets across Ukraine to wear down the country's ability to resist a major ground offensive in the Donbas, Ukraine's mostly Russian-speaking eastern industrial heartland.
The Russian military said its missiles struck more than 20 military targets in eastern and central Ukraine in the past day — including ammunition depots, command headquarters and groups of troops and vehicles. Meanwhile, it said artillery hit another 315 Ukrainian targets, and warplanes conducted 108 strikes on Ukrainian troops and military equipment. The claims couldn't be independently verified.
Gen. Richard Dannatt, a former head of the British Army, told Sky News the strikes were part of a “softening-up” campaign by Russia ahead of a planned ground offensive in the Donbas.
Ukraine's government halted civilian evacuations for a second day on Monday, saying Russian forces were shelling and blocking the humanitarian corridors.
Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said Ukraine had been negotiating passage from cities and towns in eastern and southeastern Ukraine, including Mariupol and other areas in the Donbas. The government of the Luhansk region in the Donbas said four civilians trying to flee were shot dead by Russian forces.
Russia is bent on capturing the Donbas, where Moscow-backed separatists already control some territory, after its attempt to take the capital failed.
“We are doing everything to ensure the defense” of eastern Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in his nightly address to the nation on Sunday.
The looming offensive in the east, if successful, would give Russian President Vladimir Putin a badly needed victory to point to amid the war's mounting casualties and the economic hardship caused by Western sanctions.
The capture of Mariupol is seen as a key step in preparations for any eastern assault since it would free Russian troops up for that new campaign. The fall of the city on the Sea of Azov would also hand Russia its biggest military victory of the war, giving it full control of a land corridor to the Crimean Peninsula, which it seized in 2014, and depriving Ukraine of a major port and prized industrial assets.
Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Malyar has described Mariupol as a “shield defending Ukraine.'' The city has been reduced to rubble in the siege, but a few thousand fighters, by Russia's estimate, are holding on to the giant, 11-square-kilometer (4-square-mile) Azovstal steel mill.
“We will fight absolutely to the end, to the win, in this war,” Shmyhal, Ukraine's prime minister, vowed Sunday on ABC's “This Week.” He said Ukraine is prepared to end the war through diplomacy if possible, “but we do not have intention to surrender.” The relentless bombardment of Mariupol — including at a maternity hospital and a theater where civilians were sheltering — along with street fighting have killed at least 21,000 people, by Ukrainian estimates. An estimated 100,000 people remain in the city out of a prewar population of 450,000, trapped without food, water, heat or electricity.
A pro-Russian Ukrainian politician who was arrested last week on a treason charge appeared in a video offering himself in exchange for the evacuation of Mariupol's trapped civilians. Ukraine's state security services posted the video of Viktor Medvedchuk, the former leader of a pro-Russian opposition party with personal ties to Putin.
It was not clear whether Medvedchuk was speaking under duress.
After the humiliating sinking of the flagship of Russia's Black Sea Fleet last week in what the Ukrainians boasted was a missile attack, the Kremlin had vowed to step up strikes on Ukraine's capital.
Ukraine says it hit the Russian warship Moskva with two Neptune missiles; Russia said only that it sank while being towed after a fire. Russia said its crew evacuated, but their fates remained unclear. Footage posted by the Russian military on Sunday showed Russia's naval commander inspecting rows of sailors, identified as being from the ship, in the Moskva's home port of Sevastopol in Crimea. It was unclear how many sailors were in the group.
Recent aerial attacks have also hit Kyiv and the eastern city of Kharkiv, where shelling on Monday killed at least three people and wounded three others, according to AP journalists on the scene. One of the dead was a woman who appeared to be going out to collect water in the rain. She was found lying bloodied with a water canister and umbrella by her side.
At least five people were killed by Russian shelling in Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, on Sunday, regional officials said.
Zelenskyy called Sunday's bombing in Kharkiv “nothing but deliberate terror.” Zelenskyy also appealed for a stronger international response to what he said was the brutality of Russian troops in parts of southern Ukraine, where he accused them of torture and kidnappings. He urged the world to send more weapons and apply tougher sanctions against Moscow.
Putin repeated his insistence that the Western sanctions “blitz” against Russia had failed. The Russian leader said the West had not managed to “upset the financial-economic situation, provoke panic in the markets, the collapse of the banking system and shortages in stores,” though he acknowledged a sharp hike in consumer prices in Russia, saying they rose by 17.5% as of April.

A 36-year-old man was on Monday arrested for allegedly supplying bottles which were used for pelting during the clash in Northwest Delhi's Jahangirpuri on the occasion of Hanuman Jayanti, police said. The accused, Sheikh Hameed, is a scrap dealer and a resident of Jahangirpuri, they said. With the latest arrest, the Delhi Police has so far held 22 people and apprehended two juveniles in connection with the incident that took place on Saturday. ''During investigation, one more accused Sheikh Hameed was arrested in connection with the case. During the interrogation, he told police that he had supplied bottles which were used for pelting during the clashes,'' Usha Rangnani, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Northwest), said.
The total number of arrests made so far in connection with the case also includes that of Md. Aslam, who had fired a bullet that hit a sub inspector of the Delhi Police. The pistol used by the accused during the commission of crime was seized from his possession. Besides him, Ansar (35), alleged to be the ''main conspirator'' behind the violence, was also arrested, according to the police. Police said there was stone-pelting and arson during the clashes between two communities that left eight police personnel and a local injured. Some vehicles were also torched.
An FIR was registered on Saturday under Indian Penal Code sections, including 307 (attempt to murder), 120 B (criminal conspiracy) and 147 (rioting), and provisions of the Arms Act in connection with the incident. The case has been transferred to Crime Branch, while the northwest district police and the Intelligence Fusion and Strategic Operations (IFSCO) of the Special Cell will also help them in probing the case, police said.

New Leadership Thrives at the Intersection of Wellness and Greatness
SAN FRANCISCO, April 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- There's an electric energy at Eleven, and it's coming from three new leaders being announced today: Kristina Jenkins as chief strategy officer, Juliette Geraghty as executive creative director and Andrea Ogunbadejo as head of production.
All have a singular vision for what Eleven is about: an agency that is purpose-driven and leading edge. All are also on a mission to undo the norms and conventions of the creative industry. They believe there is a new future emerging that agencies and brand organizations are not set up to be relevant in. And they are determined for Eleven to be the agency that is.
"We were drawn to each other at this transformational moment, determined to embrace this opportunity as creators, thinkers, leaders coming together to create something powerful together," said Kristina Jenkins, Eleven's new chief strategy officer. "We are here to be part of a different type of agency, company and culture that unapologetically thrives at the intersection of wellness and greatness."
Kristina infuses her New York resilience and California sense of possibility into all she does. She has pioneered and elevated agency strategy groups at Cashmere, Zambezi and mcgarrybowen, unleashing her signature superpower in each leadership role. In turn, she has helped brands like Disney, Google, HBO, Instagram, Hulu, Taco Bell, Venmo, Reebok, Verizon and Marriott show up in the world in culturally relevant ways. Incredibly passionate about empowering people to be their unique and thriving selves in their work, Kristina has been a guest speaker at Advertising Week, Virginia Commonwealth University Brandcenter, The Marcus Graham Project, Miami Ad School and The One Club for Creativity.
Eleven was born on the principle that everything matters: every medium, every detail, every touchpoint and every voice. The trio is building upon that foundation with a fresh expression of values, including: heart-first leadership, restorative creativity and a passion-first workstyle.
"We've been 'pulling it off' for too long. It's time to pull each other up," said Juliette Geraghty, Eleven's new executive creative director. "Creativity comes from people. Yet when you look at how we welcome more visionary voices into our industry, so little of the process allows us to actually see people. We're going to be focused on passions and perspectives over portfolios; to see people and for people to feel seen."
Juliette landed her first agency role this way. She was discovered by a creative director at Digitas NY while emceeing an event in Brooklyn supporting her theater outreach program for homeless teens living in domestic violence shelters. Shortly after that event, she had her first associate copywriter role at Digitas. As a daughter of immigrant parents, she has always held a passion for empowering unheard voices. In the inspiring words of Kate DiCamillo, her mission is to help brands amplify these voices to "make hearts large through story." With a devotion to cultural impact, she has collaborated with kindred spirits at AT&T, Disney, Hulu, Live Nation, OPI, and WarnerMedia to move the world forward through powerful, inclusive storytelling. Her infectious enthusiasm and creativity earned her a spot on Business Insider's "30 Most Creative Women In Advertising." Her greatest role, however, is that of "Mama" to her 9-year-old firecracker of a daughter Clover Mimi, and "Babers" to the love of her life Dave.
"We're establishing a bold set of criteria for clients that we bring in, and we'll take them on the journey. Change is hard, but radical change is needed," said Andrea Ogunbadejo, Eleven's new head of production. "This is a different way of doing things. The intersection of creative, strategy and production is where great work is made, and we plan to employ a round table approach - equal seats at the table, to achieve that."
British born Andrea has been beating the production drum her entire career - from a foundation in cinema at film school, to working in independent feature films, shorts and scripted TV for the BBC, Netflix, Sky, NBC & Syfy. She made the transition into advertising, landing at VaynerMedia London where she established and led the agency production department and in-house content studio, delivering global campaigns for TikTok, 7UP, UNICEF, Shell, Stella Artois and Johnson & Johnson. She is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion and sustainability, leading DEI efforts for VaynerMedia London, committed to representation on and off camera, and working towards Net Zero carbon emissions on all productions.
Eleven's beginnings are in San Francisco, but these three are further establishing a multi-city swagger and sensibility with Kristina and Juliette based in the Los Angeles area, and Andrea based in New York.
"For 22 years we have proudly been thoughtful, kind and considerate in our culture and our work. We are now meeting this moment of change to make our mark on our industry," said Courtney Buechert, the president of Eleven. "Kristina, Juliette and Andrea join us with a freshness, a vitality and a new wisdom that is igniting us all."

Ukraine mayor describes 'hard' interrogation by Russian captors
A Ukrainian mayor described hours of "hard" interrogations when held for almost a week by Russian forces last month and said he had appealed to the pope for help to stop a war that had wrecked swathes of his city in southern Ukraine. "It was a dangerous six days because I understood that for Russians my life and the lives of civilians were worth zero," Ivan Fedorov, mayor of Melitopol which is now under Russian control, said in an interview in Rome a month after his release.
A Ukrainian mayor described hours of "hard" interrogations when held for almost a week by Russian forces last month and said he had appealed to the pope for help to stop a war that had wrecked swathes of his city in southern Ukraine.
"It was a dangerous six days because I understood that for Russians my life and the lives of civilians were worth zero," Ivan Fedorov, mayor of Melitopol which is now under Russian control, said in an interview in Rome a month after his release. Ukraine said Fedorov was abducted on March 11 after Russian forces seized Melitopol, which lies west of the besieged city of Mariupol in a southern region that Russia seeks to control. Kyiv announced Fedorov's release in a prisoner exchange on March 16.
Russia, which calls its actions in Ukraine a "special military operation", has made no comment about the mayor's detention or the prisoner swap reported by Ukraine. Fedorov, who met Pope Francis and Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin on Saturday before attending an Easter eve service, said he had asked the Vatican to intercede with Russian President Vladimir Putin to guarantee humanitarian corridors for Mariupol, which has faced devastating bombardment.
Describing his detention by Russian forces in Melitopol's police department, Fedorov said: "They came to me at night with five or seven soldiers and spoke for about four or five hours, hard dialogue." "They wanted to make an example of me about what would happen if we did not agree to what the Russians wanted," the mayor told Reuters and the Italian newspaper Il Messaggero, saying he had faced "psychological" but not physical torture.
"Russian soldiers assumed that they would be welcomed but they were not ... and that is why the Russians were very, very angry," he said, speaking on Sunday night. "There is no food in my city. There is no pharmacy. Half of my city is wrecked. More than 200 people have been kidnapped. It is not safe to walk the streets," he said.
Russia denies targeting civilians and rejects what Ukraine says is evidence of atrocities, saying Kyiv has staged them to undermine peace talks. Moscow says it launched its military action almost two months ago to demilitarise Ukraine and eradicate what it calls dangerous nationalists. Seizing Melitopol, Mariupol and the southern coast would give Russian forces a land link between pro-Russian separatists in east Ukraine and the Crimea, which Moscow annexed in 2014. Russia has said it almost has full control of Mariupol.
Fedorov, who said he remained in regular contact with the people of Melitopol, said he had invited the pope to visit Ukraine because "maybe he can stop this war". Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has also invited the pope, promising to guarantee his security.
Pope Francis has implicitly criticised Russia, calling for an end to a war that involved unjustified aggression and invasion. Addressing Fedorov and other Ukrainians in the Easter eve service, the pope said: "Have courage, we accompany you".

When will PM sack Ajay Mishra, asks Congress after SC cancels bail of Union minister's son
- Country:
- India
The Congress on Monday slammed the Central government after the Supreme Court cancelled the bail granted to Union minister Ajay Mishra’s son Ashish in the Lakhimpur Kheri violence case, and questioned when will Prime Minister Narendra Modi sack his cabinet colleague.
Congress general secretary and chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said that finally the Supreme Court cancelled the bail of the minister's son who ''trampled'' upon the farmers in Lakhimpur.
''When will Modi ji sack Ajay Mishra Teni from his cabinet? When will the BJP stop betraying the farmers and strengthening the killer? For how long will the Modi government continue to oppress the farmers?'' Surjewala said in a tweet.
Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said injustice and atrocities of the “cruellest degree” were meted out to the families of the farmers killed in the Lakhimpur violence.
''The families of the victims of the Lakhimpur farmers’ massacre are fighting for justice full of struggles. Under the protection of power, injustice and atrocities of the cruellest degree were meted out to them,'' the Congress general secretary said in a tweet in Hindi.
''It is the responsibility of all of us to stand by the victims' families till the end in their fight for justice, no matter how long the struggle is,'' she said.
The Supreme Court on Monday cancelled the bail granted by the Allahabad High Court to the Union minister’s son in the case and asked him to surrender in a week's time.
A special bench of Chief Justice N V Ramana and Justices Surya Kant and Hima Kohli held that the high court took into account irrelevant considerations and gave extra weightage to the contents of the FIR.
On October 3 last year, eight people were killed in Lakhimpur Kheri during violence that erupted when farmers were protesting against Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya's visit to the area.
Four farmers were mowed down by an SUV, in which Ashish Mishra was seated, according to the UP Police FIR. Following the incident, the driver and two BJP workers were allegedly lynched by angry farmers.
A journalist also died in the violence that triggered outrage among opposition parties and farmer groups agitating over the Centre's now-repealed agricultural reform laws.

Clashes near TMC MP's residence in Kolkata leave eight injured; six arrested

Clashes broke out on Monday between two groups of people over control of a construction site in the southern part of the city, leaving at least eight injured, a senior police officer said.
Six people were arrested in connection with the ''brawl that took place in two-to three phases'' near TMC MP Sougata Roy’s residence in the Lake Gardens area, he said.
''We are looking for others involved in the incident. A huge team of Kolkata Police's Anti Rowdy Section (ARS) are currently monitoring the situation in the area,'' the officer said.
''There is a new construction happening in the area. An old house is being demolished. The two groups engaged in scuffles to exert control of the construction site. Members from both the groups have suffered injuries,'' he said.
According to police sources, members of the two groups or syndicates allegedly bore allegiance to the ruling TMC.
In West Bengal, syndicates, allegedly under the patronage of the ruling party, control the construction business. These syndicates apparently force promoters and contractors to buy construction materials, often of inferior quality, at high prices.
The senior officer told reporters that some of those who have sustained injuries have admitted to the fact that they were part of syndicates.
The TMC MP, when approached, said, ''I have not seen such clashes in this area before. Such incidents were unheard of (in this area) even during the Railway Colony movement or the Naxalite period. I have been a resident of this area for more than 60 years. I had to call the local police and seek their intervention. ''Disagreements over distribution of dividends have led to the clash,'' he said, adding that the incident left locals, mostly aged people, rattled.

RPF head constable killed, ASI injured in militant attack in J-K's Pulwama
- Country:
- India
A head constable of the Railway Protection Force (RPF) was killed on Monday and an assistant sub-inspector (ASI) injured as militants opened fire at them in Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir, officials said.
The ultras shot Head Constable Surinder Singh and ASI Devraj near a tea stall in Kakapora in Pulwama, they said.
The two were rushed to a hospital where Singh was declared dead on arrival, the officials said.
Over the past three weeks, militants have stepped up attacks on security forces and civilians in the Valley. This was the ninth attack this month.

Junior Achievement and CNBC to Host Virtual Summit "Money Without Borders," Examining How Innovation is Changing Economic Influence
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., April 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A new survey of 1,009 teens conducted for Junior Achievement by the research company ENGINE Insights shows that only one-in-four teens (27%) think that national governments (such as the U.S., China, and EU) have the most influence on the global economy, followed closely by "mega-rich" individuals (20%), and large corporations (19%). Less influential in the minds of teens are "average people" (7%), small business (4%), and the creators of new markets, like crypto, NFTs, and similar investments (3%). The survey of 1,009 13- to 17-year-olds was conducted by ENGINE Insights from March 31 to April 5, 2022.
In response to these concerns, Junior Achievement and Invest in You: Ready. Set. Grow., CNBC's award-winning financial wellness and education initiative in partnership with Acorns, will host a "Money Without Borders" virtual summit on April 21 at 11 am ET.

Court sends lawyer Sadavarte to 14-day judicial custody in Satara case
- Country:
- India
A court in Maharashtra on Monday sent lawyer Gunaratna Sadavarte to judicial custody for 14 days in connection with a case of alleged use of objectionable language during agitations for Maratha reservation in 2020.
Sadavarte was arrested by the Satara city police last week after securing his custody from their Mumbai counterparts, who had earlier apprehended him in a separate case related to a protest by striking state transport undertaking employees outside the residence of NCP president Sharad Pawar's in the metropolis.
At the end of his police remand on Monday, Sadavarte was produced before a court in western Maharashtra's Satara city which sent him to 14-day judicial custody, said officials.
A local resident had filed a police complaint alleging Sadavarte had used ''objectionable'' words on a TV channel during the agitations by Maratha outfits for reservation for community members in jobs and education in 2020.
Based on the complaint, the Satara police had registered an FIR against the advocate.
Sadavarte, who represents a section of the striking workers of the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation, was arrested along with several MSRTC staffers by the Mumbai police after the protest outside Pawar's residence over a week ago. PTI COR SPK RSY RSY

Clementine St. Louis Will Treat Adolescents of All Genders
ST. LOUIS, April 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Monte Nido & Affiliates, one of the largest and leading eating disorder platforms in the country, announces the opening of their new residential eating disorder center in St. Louis, MO, in the summer of 2022. Clementine St. Louis will provide care for adolescents of all genders with anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder and/or exercise addiction. Expanding to its fourteenth state, this will be the company's first location in the state of Missouri.
Clementine St. Louis will provide the highest level of care outside of a hospital setting within the comfort of a home environment, integrating personalized evidence-based medical, psychiatric, clinical and nutritional care. The facility will feature 24-hour nursing and comprehensive academic and family support.
"Since the pandemic began, there has been an alarming rise in adolescent eating disorders," said Candy Henderson, MS, Chief Executive Officer of Monte Nido & Affiliates. "We are bringing Clementine programming to St. Louis to provide more teens with the life-saving care and support they need."
The isolation, lack of structure and heightened anxiety of the COVID-19 pandemic have triggered or exacerbated eating disorders for many teens. In fact, recent data show hospitalizations for eating disorders among adolescents more than doubled during COVID-19 as reported by Pediatrics. "Adolescents are particularly susceptible to eating disorders due the developmental stages they are at in their lives," said Melissa Spann, PhD, LMHC, CEDS-S, Chief Clinical Officer of Monte Nido & Affiliates. "Clementine's model of care has been designed to meet the specific developmental needs of teens."
Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental health illness, and early intervention can be a key factor in recovery. By expanding access to care for adolescents, those in need of early treatment will have a greater chance of recovery.
For more information, or to inquire about treatment at Clementine St. Louis, please go to www.clementineprograms.com or 855-900-2221.

Men carried weapons during Hanuman Jayanti procession at Delhi's Jahangirpuri: CPI(M) leaders
This is highly irregular and strengthens the apprehension of an entirely partisan and biased police role in the present case, the letter read.The leaders appealed to the commissioner to take action against the police personnel who allowed weapons to be carried during the procession, who were responsible for the lack of adequate arrangements, who allowed the procession to stop in front of a mosque and those conducting a one-sided, biased investigation.You have stated that people from both communities have been arrested.
- Country:
- India
(Eds: With corrections in headline, intro) New Delhi, Apr 18 (PTI) CPI(M) Politburo member Brinda Karat and the party's Delhi state committee secretary K M Tewari have alleged that the Hanuman Jayanti procession taken out in Delhi's Jahangirpuri was armed, with several men carrying ''swords, lathis and firearms'', days after communal violence broke out in the area.
In a letter to the Delhi police commissioner, the duo have also raised questions over the role of the force in the incident.
''Video evidence aired on several television channels, along with eyewitness reports to our fact-finding team, is conclusive evidence that the procession taken out by members of the youth wing of the Bajrang Dal was armed, with several men carrying naked swords, lathis and also, shockingly, firearms.
''These weapons were openly flaunted and brandished during the procession. The police have stated that the procession had police permission. Did the police give permission to carry arms? In fact, the processionists who carried arms had clearly violated the Arms Act, which has stringent provisions of imprisonment for such violations,'' the letter read.
It also said from the police commissioner's statements to the media, it is unclear whether those carrying arms during the procession were identified or not.
''If so, whether they have been arrested under the relevant provisions of law, including the Arms Act. It is also unclear from your statement whether there is any investigation into the role of the police.
''Who is accountable for allowing an armed procession to stop in front of a mosque, shouting provocative and aggressive slogans at the exact time when the prayers to break the Roza fast were scheduled to begin? Such deliberate acts of omission and commission by the police have directly resulted in the ensuing incidents,'' the letter written by the Left leaders read.
While both the leaders raised the issue of injuries suffered by police personnel during the violence, they also asked if senior officers had followed due diligence in the matter.
''...if adequate police arrangements had been made, if action had been taken against weapon-carrying processionists, if the procession had not been allowed to stop in front of the mosque -- the incidents would not have taken place. It should be noted that there have never been incidents of a communal nature in this area earlier. Two communities have lived together in harmony. This is further evidence that the events were manufactured by outsiders in the procession in the name of shobha yatra,'' the letter read.
The Communist Party of India (Marxist) leaders also said they have information that male police personnel raided houses in C block at night and ''manhandled and beat up women''.
''This is against all norms and rules laid down, which forbid male police personnel to touch a woman. Further, on the 17th (April), when our members along with others had met Additional DCP Kishen Kumar at the Jahangirpuri police station, they were shocked to find that leaders of the BJP were holding a press conference within the compound of the thana. This is highly irregular and strengthens the apprehension of an entirely partisan and biased police role in the present case,'' the letter read.
The leaders appealed to the commissioner to take action against the police personnel who allowed weapons to be carried during the procession, who were responsible for the lack of adequate arrangements, who allowed the procession to stop in front of a mosque and those conducting a ''one-sided, biased'' investigation.
''You have stated that people from both communities have been arrested. We stand for the arrest and punishment of all those guilty. However, the overwhelming majority of arrests is from the minority community, whereas the course of events shows that the main provocations and planning for the incidents were done by the organisation which held the procession -- an affiliate of the Bajrang Dal as stated by the police.
''The Crime Branch, to whom the investigation has been handed over, is under the overall jurisdiction of the very police force which in the case of the Jahangirpuri incident is responsible. It is for this reason that the CPI(M) has demanded a time-bound judicial inquiry or an impartial investigation. In the meanwhile, we request you to take action against the police responsible,'' the letter read.
