LOS ANGELES (AP) — After Caleb Williams perfectly faked a handoff and sprinted up the middle for the first of his three rushing touchdowns against Notre Dame, he went to the Southern California sideline and extended a stiff-arm with his body coiled in a familiar way.
Williams’ teammates had been demanding a Heisman Trophy pose from him, and USC’s spectacular quarterback is nothing if not a team player.
“They kept saying it, so I just ended up doing it in the moment,” Williams said with a smile and a shrug.
Williams and the Trojans had plenty to celebrate after a skid-snapping rivalry victory over the Fighting Irish kept them in play for even bigger honors — and made Williams the probable frontrunner to collect the real trophy next month.
Willams polished his Heisman credentials with 232 yards passing and four total touchdowns, and No. 5 USC capped its outstanding regular season under new coach Lincoln Riley by staying firmly in the College Football Playoff race with a 38-27 victory over No. 13 Notre Dame on Saturday night.
Tahj Washington caught an early TD pass from Williams while USC (11-1, No. 6 CFP) ended its four-game losing streak in its famed intersectional rivalry with the Irish (8-4, No. 15 CFP). The Coliseum was packed with fans of both teams, but USC’s faithful had a night that recalled this long-struggling program’s glittering past.
“I don’t know how long it’s been since it was like that,” Riley said. “I haven’t been here before (this season), but man, it was electric in there. That’s what I remember watching as a young kid. … These guys have brought it to life.”
The night felt like a Heisman coronation for Williams, who iced it with 2:35 to play by sprinting 16 yards through the heart of the defense for his school-record 44th total TD. Williams was serenaded with frequent chants of “Heisman! Heisman!” from the Coliseum crowd, which has cheered seven previous Heisman winners in this school’s fabled history.
“I’ve never seen nothing like it,” Washington said. “The things he does on a consistent basis … he deserves it. He got the crown, you know what I mean?”
Although USC is headed to Pac-12 title game in Las Vegas on Friday to face No. 14 Utah, the revitalized Trojans first kept their CFP hopes intact with this victory — and even got a boost from LSU’s loss to Texas A&M during this game. USC became the first team to gain 400 yards and to score more than 32 points this season against the Irish while completing its first 11-win regular season since 2008.
“I think we’re as good as any team, and I’m not just talking about today,” Williams said. “We thought we were a great team, and we got to show it tonight.”
Drew Pyne passed for 318 yards and hit Michael Mayer for two of his three TDs for the Irish, whose five-game winning streak ended in their regular-season finale under new coach Marcus Freeman.
Pyne completed his first 15 throws into the fourth quarter, but he ultimately couldn’t keep up with Williams, and the Irish surrendered the Jeweled Shillelagh in their first trip to the Coliseum since 2018.
“I think we have a lot to play for still,” Pyne said. “I’m proud of how we fought today. I’m proud of how we’ve fought the whole season.”
The 93rd edition of this rivalry was a showcase for Williams, the sophomore who followed Riley from Oklahoma to USC last winter.
With a pocket elusiveness that had Notre Dame’s defense embracing air and a lively arm at nearly any distance, Williams set single-season records for quarterbacks in total touchdowns and yards rushing at a school historically rich in talent at the position. His eventful night against the Irish even included an offensive pass interference penalty on a failed Philly Special — and a 58-yard punt, the Trojans’ longest of the year.
“That was one of the biggest things, his ability to keep the play alive when it should have been a dead play,” Irish linebacker JD Bertrand said. “He’s freaky athletic, and it shows.”
Austin Jones rushed for a career-high 154 yards as USC never trailed, but never pulled away from the tenacious Irish.
After Pyne fumbled in USC territory on Notre Dame’s first drive after halftime, Williams led a 74-yard drive capped by Raleek Brown’s untouched TD run for a 24-7 lead.
Deion Colzie and Logan Diggs scored later in the second half, but Williams kept the Trojans in front until Calen Bullock made his fifth interception of the season for USC with 4:56 to play, boosting the Trojans’ turnover margin to an astronomical plus-23.
“We knew what type of game it was going to be,” Bullock said. “We knew they were going to come in here and thought they were going to out-physical us, but we wasn’t going for that.”
THE TAKEAWAY
Notre Dame: The Irish ultimately couldn’t stop Williams, but that’s hardly a unique failing. After a rocky start, Freeman’s debut season offers much more hope than concern.
USC: Williams’ brilliance is the main reason for the Trojans’ turnaround, considering the defense gave up 408 yards and again had trouble getting off the field against an elite opponent. Yet USC repeatedly has done enough to win, and the Trojans are playoff-worthy if Friday and the numbers work out for them.
UP NEXT
Notre Dame: A mid-tier bowl game.
USC: A quick trip to Las Vegas on Friday to play Utah for the Trojans’ second conference title in 14 seasons.

Riyadh: The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has suspended the popular broadcast service Todd.tv affiliated with Qatar’s beIN Sports network since the start of the World Cup on November 20, local media reported.
The beIN Sports, and its online platforms, including Todd.tv, is the official broadcaster of the FIFA World Cup 2022 to fans in the Middle East and North Africa.
As per a report by Reuters, the application has been operating smoothly in the Kingdom continuously for about 10 months.
The Todd platform is owned by the Qatari “beIN” media group, which was banned in Saudi Arabia for years during the period of estrangement between the two countries, but it resumed its work in October 2021.
When entering the Todd.tv page on the Internet from inside Saudi Arabia, a message of apology appears stating that the requested page violates the regulations of the Ministry of Information.
Todd.tv also sent a message to its subscribers in the kingdom on November 24, saying they were experiencing a service outage.
The company said in an email obtained by Reuters that due to matters beyond the company’s control, it is witnessing a disruption in service in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which currently affects Todd.tv, the official partner for broadcasting the World Cup matches in Qatar 2022.
The New York Times said that this ban is surprising, especially since it comes after a directive launched by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to all government institutions to facilitate everything related to the Qatar World Cup.
“I want my money,” one subscriber told AFP, adding that his efforts to refund the service’s subscription, which amounts to around 300 Saudi riyals ($80) a month, had been unsuccessful.
Todd.tv’s Twitter account was filled with messages from users demanding a refund of their subscription fees after the outage. | https://www.siasat.com/fifa-wc-qatar-2022-streaming-services-blocked-in-saudi-arabia-know-why-2467098/ | 2022-11-27T13:07:29 | en | 0.965193 |
Hyderabad: Stating that the freedom of the press was in peril in India, especially Telangana, Congress MP and former TPCC President Capt. N. Uttam Kumar Reddy appealed to the journalists to stand guard to protect independent journalism.
Speaking at the meeting Telangana Union of Working Journalists (TUWJ) Suryapet District on Sunday, Uttam Kumar Reddy spoke about the glorious past of the journalists and their commendable role in India’s freedom movement.
“Mahatma Gandhi was the greatest journalist of all time. Gandhi Ji was associated with six journals and he was the Editor of two journals. His first paper, Indian Opinion, was started in South Africa. Young India and Harijan played an important role in India’s freedom movement. Gandhi Ji has clearly stated that the sole aim of journalism should be service,” he said.
Similarly, he said that Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru began his career in journalism and became a great journalist of those times. “He established the National Herald on 9 September 1938. The paper carried on its masthead the words ‘Freedom is in Peril, Defend it with All Your Might’. Likewise, Bal Gangadhar Tilak started ‘Kesari’ in Marathi and ‘Maratha’ in English and used them as weapons to gain freedom for the country. He was an icon of fearless and ideal journalism. He did not change his views despite the British Empire booking sedition cases against him,” Uttam said.
He further said that journalists played an active role in the Telangana agitation and fearlessly exposed the injustices done to the region. “I salute the fearless journalists who struggled for India’s independence and freedom and the Telangana agitation. I wish to remind them what a great legacy they are carrying,” he stated.
Uttam Kumar Reddy said the media is also called the fourth estate and one of the pillars of democracy in India.
“In a few countries outside of North America and Western Europe, the press was as free as it was in India earlier. The present BJP government at the centre and TRS government in Telangana were curtailing all kinds of freedom and using influence to reduce press neutrality,” he remareked.
The Congress MP said that the journalists participated in the Telangana agitation with a lot of aspirations. However, he said it was highly unfortunate that the TRS government has failed in fulfilling all the assurances. “Health Cards given to journalists are not working. Wellness centres have been closed and there is no support from the government concerning healthcare for journalists and their families. Despite several assurances, journalists were neither given house sites nor houses. Even the education of journalists’ children has become a problem,” he said.
Uttam Kumar Reddy assured the journalists that he would work with TUWJ and other associations to improve the conditions of journalists. “I find it very disturbing that some media owners do not pay regular salaries to journalists and stringers. Some of the journalists are earning as little as a daily wage labourer. The state government is not even issuing Accreditation Cards on a regular basis just to deny them recognition and a small benefit of a free bus pass. This is an unfortunate situation and it must be changed for good,” he said.
The Congress MP appealed to all the journalists to write the truth irrespective of whether the person involved was an MLA, MP, CM or even PM. He said journalists must expose the wrongdoings and also highlight the good things. “Today the freedom of the press is in peril in India and Telangana and all journalists must stand guard and protect their freedom,” he said. | https://www.siasat.com/freedom-of-press-in-peril-in-telangana-uttam-kumar-2467205/ | 2022-11-27T13:07:35 | en | 0.978423 |

LONDON (AP) — This is a dress with a story, and Elizabeth Emanuel wants to tell it.
Shocking pink with a plunging, ruffled neckline and body-hugging shape, the gown was designed by Emanuel for Lady Diana Spencer to wear at a Buckingham Palace party a few days before her marriage to Prince Charles in 1981. It was a visual coming-out event for the future princess, until then largely known for her conservative sweater-and-pearls look.
“This was definitely not a wallflower dress,” said Emanuel, who also designed Diana’s wedding gown. “This was a dress to be seen in and celebrated.”
It was also soon forgotten. In an era before smartphones put a camera in everyone’s pocket and social media made private events public, the dress was mostly seen by the party guests, including Queen Elizabeth II, Princess Grace and Nancy Reagan, but no one else. Emanuel doesn’t know where it is, or even if it still exists.
So she has recreated it, out of bolts of shiny, satin taffeta cut and stitched to match the dramatic sketches she made more than 40 years ago.
Acting on an idea that took shape during Britain’s long coronavirus lockdowns, she did it for herself, for her archive. But also because she wanted to show another side of Diana, who Emanuel believes has been misrepresented by “The Crown,” the popular Netflix series that has brought the story of the princess and her ill-fated marriage to a new generation.
A fan of the series’ first three seasons, Emanuel said she found it hard to watch the last two because of the way Diana was depicted.
Creating a bespoke dress is a long process, requiring multiple fittings that give client and dressmaker lots of time to talk. And throughout the hours they spent together, Diana came across as a happy, vibrant young woman, not the shrinking girl “The Crown” portrays as being buffeted by events beyond her control, Emanuel said.
“She wasn’t like that,” Emanuel said. “She was always very upbeat. And, you know, I like to feel that we were close enough that if she was having huge issues that we might have been aware of it at the time, because those fittings are fairly intimate.”
One of the things the series does right is retrace Diana’s style journey, from the cardigans and bows she wore when she first stepped into the public eye, to frothy ballgowns with frills and flounces and finally to her becoming a global fashion icon in Versace, Dior and Chanel.
Diana grew up in the country, looking to her older sisters for fashion cues. This was a world of hunting, shooting and fishing, where Barbour coats and Wellington boots were everyday wear. It was a culture where no matter how much you cared about your appearance, you had to seem like you weren’t trying too hard.
Diana brought that style sense with her when she moved to London after leaving school and soon became the archetype of the Sloane Ranger, the media name for the wealthy young people who lived near London’s Sloane Square and cultivated the look of bohemian aristocrats.
She was, as former BBC royal reporter Michael Cole put it, “this Sloane Ranger with her sort of pie crust collars and Fair Isle sweaters and rather voluminous skirts. She was a product of the English countryside.”
But after her engagement to the future King Charles III, she began to grow into the glamour of being a princess.
“It actually was a bit of an effort for her to adapt to that role,” Cole said. “She did appreciate and came to understand the power of clothes, the power of image. It helped very much that she had good taste, and I think she had some good advisers.”
In other words, she evolved and learned how to use clothes to project a message.
And perhaps the journey began with the hot pink party gown.
After losing weight, Diana asked Emanuel, her former husband David, and their team to create a dress that would show off her new supermodel figure and transform her image for the celebrities and world leaders invited to the palace.
“She wanted something really spectacular and eye-catching to wear for that because the whole world was going to be there at that party,’’ Emanuel said at her London studio.
“I think there was a message being sent with this dress, really. That she’d been previously known as Shy Di, but in this dress she definitely was no longer a Shy Di.”
But for Emanuel, the project is about more than simply setting the record straight. It’s about one friend remembering another and the helping hand the princess gave to her career.
There is something touching about the way she looks at this copy and adjusts it on a mannequin roughly as tall as Diana, plainly remembering her famous client.
She recreated a dress that belonged to the Diana she knew, who broke the mold, who was brave, who was ready to walk out on stage. And as she worked, Diana was in her head the whole time.
“As I’m looking at it, I’m imagining her face,” Emanuel said. “The last time that we saw her in the dress was actually at that party and looking so radiant and fantastic. And then all these years later, you know, to recreate it again, it’s kind of strange.”
But that won’t stop her from continuing to explore her memories. She embraced the process of making the dress, of holding a memory in her hand.
Emanuel now has plans to recreate the alternative wedding dress she made for Diana — a spare created in case the tabloids somehow managed to get a photo of the primary dress before the big day. But the dress never leaked, and the spare disappeared from public view.
“I want to see if I can do it right and to delve into all of those memories,” she said. “I will have them. They’ll be there. They won’t just be figments of imagination or floating around digitally. They’ll be real things that I can remember.”

Ahmedabad: Ahead of the upcoming Gujarat Assembly polls, a Congress candidate from Rajkot has courted controversy with his comments about religious places Ajmer and Somnath during a public meeting.
His rival Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate claimed such remarks were objectionable for the Hindu community.
Indranil Rajguru, the former Congress MLA who is contesting on the party ticket from Rajkot (East) seat, on Saturday told a gathering, mostly comprising Muslim audience, in the constituency that they should chant “Har Har Mahadev” after him. The crowd members did the same.
“In my view, Mahadev and Allah are the same. Mahadev resides in Ajmer, and Allah resides in Somnath. Allahu Akbar (God is great),” Rajguru said addressing the gathering.
Ajmer is famous for the shrine of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti, and Somnath is popular for a temple of Lord Mahadev.
“In my view Mahadev and Allah are the same. I feel joy in taking my Hindu brothers to Lord Mahadev (Somnath) on a bus. But I feel the same joy when I go to Ajmer with trains full of people…Those who seek to reform us should know we are all human beings. Allahu Akbar. Har Har Madev,” said Rajguru, who recently returned to the Congress after a short stint with the Aam Aadmi Party.
A video of Rajguru’s remarks went viral on social media on Sunday.
Later, Rajguru said, “A clip of mine saying ‘Allahu Akbar’ has surfaced. In the same clip, people should also listen to 5,000 Muslims chanting ‘Har Har Mahadev’.”
He said the opponent BJP made viral a portion of his speech in which he is seen saying ‘Allahu Akbar’.
“I asked them (the public gathering) that if I do not feel ashamed in taking Allah’s name, then should you feel ashamed of taking the name of Mahadev? When I said ‘Allahu Akbar’, then 5,000 people chanted ‘Har Har Mahadev’. This is the reality of the video,” Rajguru said.
However, BJP’s Uday Kangad, who is contesting against Rajguru from Rajkot (East), said, “There is a great difference. Such a statement is objectionable for the Hindu community…Somnath is revered across the country, is the first jyotirling. One should not say something like this.”
Religious leader from Ahmedabad Chaitanya Shambhu Maharaj said he strongly condemns Rajguru’s statements.
“This is an example of how low a person can stoop for votes. By such a statement he has insulted not just the Hindus but also Muslims…This is just an attempt to woo Hindu and Muslim voters,” he claimed.
Elections for the 182-member Gujarat Assembly will be held in two phases on December 1 and 5. | https://www.siasat.com/gujarat-polls-congress-candidate-courts-controversy-with-comments-on-ajmer-and-somnath-2467186/ | 2022-11-27T13:07:41 | en | 0.964459 |

Former Secretary to the Government of India in the Ministries of Power and Finance, E A S Sarma, has written to the Chief Election Commissioner (ECE) Rajiv Kumar, election commissioners (EC) A C Pandey and Arun Goel regarding the recent comments of Union Home Minister Amit Shah regarding 2002 Gujarat riots.
Shah, while addressing a rally in Mahudha town of Kheda district, Gujarat on Friday, said those anti-social elements who indulged in violence in Gujarat in the past, supported by the Congress government, have been “taught a lesson” in 2002 when the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) came to power and established “permanent peace”.
Shah was referring to the infamous 2002 Gujarat riots that claimed thousands of lives, mainly Muslims, and destroyed many livelihoods.
Shah allegedly made a statement, “During the Congress rule in Gujarat (before 1995), communal riots were rampant. Congress used to incite people of different communities and castes to fight against each other. Through such riots, Congress had strengthened its vote bank and did injustice to a large section of the society.”
“But after they were taught a lesson in 2002, these elements left that path (of violence). They refrained from indulging in violence from 2002 till 2022. BJP has established permanent peace in Gujarat by taking strict action against those who used to indulge in communal violence,” the Union minister said.
Sarma, in his letter, mentioned the above quote by the Union Minister and stated that it violates the Modal Code of Conduct in force, especially in reference to the final clause. The clause says, “Religious places like Temple, Mosque, Church, Gurudwara or other places of worship shall not be used as forum for election propaganda. Further, there shall be no appeal to caste or communal feelings for securing votes.”
“Shah’s statement needs to be viewed by the Election Commission in conjunction with the reported fact that it was the Union Home Ministry that cleared the release of the eleven rape convicts in the Bilkis Bano case, directly related to the infamous Godhra incidents in 2002, which triggered the shameful sequence of events that shook the nation’s conscience. The background and the aftermath of the Gujarat incidents of 2002 are so widely known that I do not have to explain the same to the Commission in detail,” Sarma’s letter stated.
Sarma urged the Election Commission to act quickly “as the custodian of free and fair elections in Gujarat and elsewhere”
The letter said that an emergency meeting should be held to ascertain the veracity of the news report on Shah’s purported comments.
“If the said statement is found to be true, the Commission should, as required, give an opportunity to the person who has made the statement to explain his position, take immediate penal action if necessary, so as to ensure that after-effects of the statement may not interfere with the integrity of the electoral process in the state,” the letter said.
Sarma further said that if the alleged comments made by Shah are true, then it can affect the Gujarat assembly elections in the short term but have long-term implications for the nation as a whole.
Sarma further suggested postponement of the elections. “By token penalties imposed, the Commission may not be able to undo the considerable damage that would have already been caused, in which case, the only course of action left to the Commission is to consider deferment of the elections, till such time that the environment becomes conducive to conducting elections freely and fairly,” the letter stated.
Sarma also mentioned an earlier letter he had written to the election commission regarding the Union Ministry of Finance where the ministry notified an unprecedented extension of the window for political parties receiving corporate donations.
“I had expressed my concern in my letter addressed to you on 8-11-2022, with a special reference to the Model Code (readily accessible at https://countercurrents.org/2022/11/electoral-bond-notification-in-violation-of-model-code-of-conduct-ec-must-intervene/?swcfpc=1). To the best of my knowledge, the Commission is yet to initiate any meaningful action on it!” Sarma pointed out in the letter.
Reminding the inaction taken by the election commission in announcing the Gujarat elections on October 14, 2022, simultaneously with the announcement of the Himachal Pradesh elections, and then deferring the Gujarat elections till November 3, the Model Code of Conduct came into force only on November 3.
Sarma further mentioned that since the Model Code of Conduct came into action on November 3, the Gujarat state government inaugurated the ill-fated Morbi Bridge, which in turn resulted in human tragedy on October 30.
“Had the Commission announced the Gujarat elections along with its announcement of the HP elections, the Morbi accident would never have taken place! While the two events were not directly connected, it is a fact that the Commission did defer announcing the Gujarat elections, without citing any plausible and valid reason. It is essential that the Commission remains not only credible as a Constitutional authority but also appears to be so, in every respect,” the letter said.
Sarma concluded the letter hoping that the election commission would act firmly and decisively.
“Several incumbents of the office of the Commission in the past had demonstrated the authority of the Commission in its full measure and the people of this country, who repose trust in the Commission’s authority as an independent institution, expect the Commission to act objectively with the sole purpose of safeguarding the integrity and fairness of the electoral process, impervious to extraneous influences. The Commission cannot afford to permit political parties to indulge in divisive exhortations to the electorate and thereby influence elections against the public interest,” the letter said.
Sarma was a member of the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) from 1965-2000. He was earlier Principal Adviser (Energy) in the national Planning Commission. He was closely associated in setting up independent statutory regulatory bodies in the electricity, telecommunications and insurance sectors in India. After retirement from the IAS, he headed the Administrative Staff College of India, Hyderabad. | https://www.siasat.com/gujarat-riots-2002-ex-union-secy-writes-to-cec-on-amit-shahs-remarks-2466530/ | 2022-11-27T13:07:47 | en | 0.966662 |

MILAN (AP) — Rescuers dug through mud for a second day Sunday in the search for people believed lost in an enormous landslide on the Italian resort island of Ischia.
One body was recovered on Saturday and two families with children remained among the 11 missing in the port town of Casamicciola, feared buried under mud and debris that firefighters said was six meters (20 feet) deep in some places.
“Mud and water tend to fill every space,” the spokesman for Italian firefighter, Luca Cari, told RAI state TV. ”Our teams are searching with hope, even if it is very difficult.”
“Our biggest hope is that people identified as missing have found refuge with relatives and friends and have not advised of their position,” he added.
The risks of landslides remained in the part of town furthest up the mountain, requiring search teams to enter by foot, he said.
Small bulldozers focused on clearing roads overnight to allow rescue vehicles to pass, while dive teams were brought in to check cars that had been pushed into the sea.
“We are continuing the search with our hearts broken, because among the missing are also minors,” Giacomo Pascale, the mayor of the neighboring town of Lacco Ameno, told RAI.
Pope Francis expressed his closeness to the people of Ischia during the traditional Sunday blessing in St. Peter’s Square. “I am praying for the victims, for those who are suffering and for those who are involved in the rescue,” he said.
The Naples prefect, Claudio Palomba, on Sunday said the official number of missing was 11, while four people had been injured and 160 displaced from their homes, according to the LaPresse news agency. He said 15 homes had been overwhelmed by the stream of mud.
The massive landslide before dawn on Saturday was triggered by exceptional rainfall, and sent a mass of mud and debris hurtling down a mountainside toward the port of Casamicciola, collapsing buildings and sweeping vehicles into the sea. By Sunday, 164 people were left homeless by the events.
One widely circulated video showed a man, covered with mud, clinging to a shutter, chest-deep in muddy water.
The island received 126 millimeters (nearly five inches) of rain in six hours, the heaviest rainfall in 20 years, according to officials. Experts said the disaster was exacerbated by building in areas of high risk on the mountainous island.
“There is territory that cannot be occupied. You cannot change the use of a zone where there is water. The course of the water created this disaster,” geologist Riccardo Caniparoli told RAI. “There are norms and laws that were not respected.”
Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni convened a Cabinet meeting for later Sunday to declare a state of emergency on the island. “The government expresses its closeness to the citizens, mayors and towns of the island of Ischia, and thanks the rescue workers searching for the victims,” Meloni said in a statement.

Hyderabad: Encroachments in and around Nizampet were removed by officials from the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HDMA) and Medchal-Ranga Reddy district revenue department on Saturday.
The encroached land belonged to the government in 2003 and was given on lease to a stone-crushing unit for 15 years. However, due to environmental laws, the mining and stone crushing stopped and residential areas started to spring up.
It is said that the crushing unit encroached on about one acre of land and raised unauthorised construction in this land site at Nizampet.
The case went to the Telangana High Court which asked the mining unit how much time they would require to relocate. But there was no response and encroachments continued to take place. The land is part of 32 acres allotted to Jawaharlal Nehru Journalists MAC Housing Society. | https://www.siasat.com/hyderabad-hdma-officials-remove-encroached-land-in-nizampet-2467135/ | 2022-11-27T13:07:53 | en | 0.97398 |
MILAN (AP) — Rescuers dug through mud for a second day Sunday in the search for people lost in an enormous landslide on the Italian resort island of Ischia.
One body was recovered on Saturday and about a dozen people, including children, were reported missing in the port town of Casamicciola, feared buried under mud and debris that firefighters said was six meters (20 feet) deep in some places. Small bulldozers were being used to clear debris, and Italian media said digging was continuing by hand in some places and that teams of divers had been brought in.
“We are continuing the search with our hearts broken, because among the missing are also minors,” Giacomo Pascale, the mayor of the neighboring town of Lacco Ameno, told RAI state TV.

KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) — Allies of Ethiopia’s federal military are looting property and carrying out mass detentions in Tigray, according to eyewitnesses and aid workers.
The accounts raise fresh concern about alleged atrocities more than three weeks after the warring parties signed a truce that diplomats and others hoped would bring an end to suffering in the embattled region that’s home to more than 5 million people.
Tigray is still largely cut off from the rest of Ethiopia, although aid deliveries into the region resumed after the Nov. 2 cease-fire deal signed in South Africa. There’s limited or no access into the region for human rights researchers, making it difficult for journalists and others to obtain information from Tigray as Ethiopian forces continue to assert control of the region.
Eritrean troops and forces from the neighboring Ethiopian region of Amhara — who have been fighting on the side of Ethiopia’s federal military in the Tigray conflict — have looted businesses, private properties, vehicles, and health clinics in Shire, a northwestern town that was captured from Tigray forces last month, two aid workers there told The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity because of safety concerns.
Several young people have been kidnapped by Eritrean troops in Shire, the aid workers said. One said he saw “more than 300” youths being rounded up by Ethiopian federal troops in several waves of mass detentions after the capture of Shire, home to a large number of internally displaced people.
“There are different detention centers around the town,” said the aid worker, who also noted that Ethiopian federal troops were arresting people believed to be “associated” with the Tigray People’s Liberation Front, or TPLF, the political party whose leaders led the war against the federal government.
Civilians accused of aiding Tigray forces are being detained in the southern town of Alamata, according to a resident there who said Amhara forces had arrested several of his friends. A former regional official said Amhara forces are also carrying out “mass” arrests in the town of Korem, around 20 kilometers (12 miles) north of Alamata, and in surrounding rural areas.
Both the Alamata resident and the former regional official, like some others who spoke to AP, requested anonymity because of safety concerns as well as fear of reprisals.
The continuing presence of Eritrean troops in Tigray remains a sore point in the ongoing peace process, and the U.S. has called for their withdrawal from the region.
The military spokesman and government communications minister in Ethiopia didn’t respond to a request for comment. Eritrea’s embassy in Ethiopia also didn’t respond.
Eritrea, which shares a border with Tigray, was not mentioned in the text of the cease-fire deal. The absence of Eritrea from cease-fire negotiations had raised questions about whether that country’s repressive government, which has long considered Tigray authorities a threat, would respect the agreement.
A subsequent implementation accord, signed by military commanders in Kenya, states that the Tigray forces will disband their heavy weapons “concurrently with the withdrawal of foreign and non-(federal) forces from the region.”
Yet aid officials, diplomats and others inside Tigray say Eritrean forces are still active in several areas of Tigray, hurting the peace process. Eritrean troops have been blamed for some of the conflict’s worst abuses, including gang rapes.
Tigrai Television, a regional broadcaster based in the Tigrayan capital of Mekele, reported on Nov. 19 that Eritrean soldiers killed 63 civilians, including 10 children, in an area called Egela in central Tigray. That report cited witnesses including one who said affected communities were being prevented from burying their dead.
Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken discussed the importance of implementing the peace deal, “including the withdrawal of all foreign forces and the concurrent disarmament of the Tigray forces” in a phone call Monday, according to State Department spokesman Ned Price.
Four youths were killed by Eritrean forces in the northwestern Tigray town of Axum on Nov. 17, a humanitarian worker told the AP. “The killings have not stopped despite the peace deal … and it is being carried out in Axum exclusively by Eritrean forces,” the humanitarian worker said.
A statement from Tigray’s communication bureau last week said Eritrea’s military “continues committing horrific atrocities in Tigray.” That statement charged that Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki “is bringing more units into Tigray though (he is) expected to withdraw his troops” following the cease-fire deal.
The brutal fighting, which spilled into the Amhara and Afar regions as Tigray forces pressed toward the federal capital last year, was renewed in August in Tigray after months of lull.
Tigray is in the grip of a dire humanitarian crisis after two years of restrictions on aid. These restrictions prompted a U.N. panel of experts to conclude that Ethiopia’s government probably used “starvation as a method of warfare” against the region.
Ethiopian authorities have long denied targeting civilians in Tigray, saying their goal is to apprehend the region’s rebellious leaders.
Despite the African Union-led cease-fire, basic services such as phone, electricity and banking are still switched off in most parts of Tigray. The U.S. estimates hundreds of thousands of people could have been killed in the war marked by abuses on all sides.
The cease-fire deal requires federal authorities to facilitate “unhindered humanitarian access” to Tigray. The World Food Program said Friday it had sent 96 trucks of food and fuel to Tigray since the agreement although access to parts of central and eastern Tigray remains “constrained.”
Unhindered access into Tigray has not yet been granted despite the number of trucks going into the region, with several restrictions remaining in place, an aid worker said Friday. There are limits on the amount of cash humanitarian organizations can take into Tigray, while checkpoints and military commanders impede the movements of aid workers within the region, the aid worker said.

Tehran: The Iranian authorities have fired a bank manager in Qom province, because of his service to a woman who did not wear the compulsory headscarf imposed in the country
This comes at a time when various regions of Iran are witnessing protests over the death of the 22-year-old Iranian woman, Mahsa Amini, following her arrest by the morality police.
The Iranian Mehr news agency quoted the deputy governor, Ahmad Hajizadeh, as saying, “The manager of a bank in Qom province, who provided banking services Thursday to an unveiled woman, was dismissed from his post by order of the governor.”
Zadeh added that “the implementation of the law related to wearing the veil in government institutions is the responsibility of its director,” while the Iranian agency indicated that “the video of the unveiled woman sparked a lot of reactions on social media.”
Protests in Iran continue
Iran has been rocked by sweeping protests since September 16, over the death of a 22-year-old woman, Mahsa Amini, in the custody of Iran’s morality police.
Mahsa Amini death led to an escalation of popular anger and sparked protests, the largest in Iran in nearly three years, and a crackdown during which dozens of protesters were killed and hundreds arrested.
The protesters, who are out in demonstrations led by the majority of women, demand answers and an investigation into the cause and manner of Amini’s death, the abolition of the strict veil laws and the dissolution of the morality police that enforce these laws.
The death toll from anti-regime protests in Iran rose on Saturday to at least 450, including 63 children, some of whom did not exceed eight years of age, according to the HRANA organization of human rights activists in the country. No less than 18,173 demonstrators were arrested in 156 cities.
HRANA also pointed out in a report published on its website that until November 20, protest marches were organized in 143 universities across the country, while the security forces arrested no less than 566 students
The protests constitute one of the biggest challenges that the Shiite clerical rulers have faced in Iran since they came to power in 1979, and the Iranian authorities have finally suppressed waves of protest before. | https://www.siasat.com/iranian-bank-manager-fired-for-serving-unveiled-woman-2467164/ | 2022-11-27T13:08:11 | en | 0.978333 |

MONTREAL (AP) — Pedro Meraz says living in Colima, Mexico, was like living in a war zone, with shootings, burning cars and dismembered bodies being left outside of schools.
When his wife Rocio Gonzalez, a 28-year-old lawyer who worked with abused women, began receiving death threats from a cartel and the local authorities ignored her pleas for assistance, they knew they had to leave.
“They knew where we lived and what car we drove,” said Meraz, 41, who taught at The University of Colima, near the Pacific Coast and about 300 miles (485 kilometers) west of Mexico City. “Feeling that you are going to lose your life, or one of your daughters, I don’t mind starting from scratch.”
The family is part of a surge in the number of Mexicans who have requested asylum in Canada this year. Due to the relative ease of obtaining asylum in Canada compared to the U.S., visa-free travel between Mexico and Canada, and the threat of violence back home, more than 8,000 Mexican nationals have sought refugee status in 2022. That’s almost five times as many as last year and more than twice as many as in 2019, the last year before the COVID-19 pandemic and the travel restrictions that accompanied it.
The vast majority of them are flying in to Montreal, which has many direct flights to and from Mexico.
Among them is Viviana Tapia Gonzalez, a human rights activist and mother of four from Aguascalientes, about 265 miles (425 kilometers) northwest of Mexico City, who said she left Mexico in January after being attacked by the military. She said her work with the families of missing and murdered women and girls made her a target.
“Death threats were constant,” she said. “I thought it was the last option I had to be safe. I work for many causes and help many people. I did not want to stop helping, but I must also protect (and) take care of myself.”
Tapia Gonzalez has been living in a Montreal women’s shelter while awaiting a decision on her asylum claim, which she fears might get rejected.
If her claim is turned down, she wouldn’t be alone.
In the first nine months of 2022, the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada, an independent tribunal that investigates and decides asylum cases, finalized more than 2,700 claims by Mexican asylum seekers. Of those, 1,032 were accepted, 1,256 were rejected; and the remaining 400-plus were either abandoned, withdrawn, or had other outcomes, said Christian Tessier, an IRB spokesperson.
In Canada, claimants must meet the United Nations’ definition of a “convention refugee,” meaning they are outside of their home countries and have a well-founded fear that they would be persecuted if they returned based on their race, religion, political opinions, nationality or affiliation with a social group. Otherwise, they must prove that they need protection and can’t safely return to their home countries without risking torture, cruel or unusual punishment, or death.
Despite the risk of rejection, though, the surge in Mexicans seeking refugee status in Canada persists.
The Welcome Collective, a Montreal-based charitable organization that provides essential goods to new asylum seekers, said half of the group’s current clients came from Mexico — a 300% increase compared with earlier this year.
“They had to run away because of violence and other humanitarian reasons. To find a better place for their children,” said Flavia Leiva, the group’s volunteer and social outreach coordinator.
As for what is causing the increase in applicants, Leiva suggested that social media is playing a role.
“There have been YouTubers and some videos on TikTok talking about how easy it is to come to Canada,” she said.
At least one YouTube video that was published 10 months ago and made for a Mexican audience explains the Canadian immigration process in Spanish and has more than 4 million views.
It has been harder for Mexicans to seek asylum in the U.S. since the start of the pandemic. A U.S. public health rule that suspends the right to seek asylum on the grounds of preventing the spread of COVID-19 has fallen disproportionately hard on Mexicans. Title 42 authority has been used to expel migrants more than 2.4 million times since it was introduced in March 2020.
Further adding to Canada’s allure is that Mexicans haven’t needed a visa to travel to the country since the Canadian government lifted the requirement in late 2016.
Leiva also suggested that more Mexicans might be choosing to come to Canada instead of the United States because they think it’s safer.
“In the U.S., they are put in cages, the conditions are not as good,” Leiva said. “People do not feel safe or protected.”
Meraz said he and his family decided that Canada would offer them the best chance to start over.
“My wife investigated the existence of international treaties to protect people who are at risk,” he said.
He referenced Canadian policies and regulations protecting women and children in addition to the country’s comparatively low crime rate.
“The U.S. was never in our minds, since there is a lot of violence … attacks where many innocent people die,” said Meraz. “Canada, statistically, has a very low rate of violence and its quality of life is much better than the USA.”
He said his family chose Montreal instead of some other Canadian city because of logistics, though he’s having second thoughts.
“If you were to ask me right now if I would choose another place, then maybe,” said Meraz, noting that he and his family must now learn French.
Hayet Mohammed, who manages the French language program at Carrefour Solidarité Anjou, a nonprofit that helps newcomers settle in Quebec, said not only is obtaining refugee status easier in Canada, but there are plenty of resources for asylum seekers once they arrive.
“They can work as soon as they have their refugee status and are entitled to (French) courses given by the (Ministry of Immigration in Quebec) which gives them financial assistance and finally, there are many work opportunities, and they are not at risk of finding themselves unemployed,” said Mohammed.
“Being a newcomer myself with my little family, there is no other country that gives immigrants so many facilities in terms of training, work and child benefits. All these things make people leave their countries of origin and come to make their lives here, thousands of miles away from their families,” she said.

Rawalpindi: Pakistan’s Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) on Sunday denounced the “nefarious campaign” maligning outgoing Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa, local media reported.
“Misleading data regarding the assets of Army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa and his family have been shared on social media,” the ISPR said, adding that the “figures are exaggerated and based on assumptions”, Express Tribune reported.
Rejecting the claims circulating on social media that certain assets were created by General Bajwa’s family during his six-year tenure as “completely false”, “blatant lies and malice”, the ISPR said that “all assets of Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa, his wife and family are duly declared in the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR)”.
The statement also said that the Army chief and his family regularly file their tax returns and that “like every citizen, the Army chief and his family are accountable to the tax authorities for their assets”.
It may be noted that earlier this week, the government had ordered an investigation into the leak of legally protected tax information of General Bajwa’s family.
Finance Minister Ishaq Dar had taken serious note of the illegal and unwarranted leakage of tax information, according to a statement issued by the Ministry of Finance on Monday.
“This is clearly violative of the complete confidentiality of tax information that the law provides,” the Finance Ministry had stated.
It was later reported that the FBR had traced the identities of the people who had been behind the leak, Express Tribune reported. | https://www.siasat.com/ispr-censures-campaign-against-gen-bajwa-family-2467166/ | 2022-11-27T13:08:17 | en | 0.985021 |

LOPBURI, Thailand (AP) — A meal fit for monkeys was served on Sunday at the annual Monkey Feast Festival in central Thailand.
Amid the morning traffic, rows of monkey statues holding trays were lined up outside the compound of the Ancient Three Pagodas, while volunteers prepared food across the road for real monkeys — the symbol of the province around 150 kilometers (93 miles) north of Bangkok.
Throngs of macaque monkeys ran around, at times fighting with each other, while the crowds of visitors and locals grew.
As the carefully prepared feast was brought toward the temple, the ravenous creatures began to pounce and were soon devouring the largely vegetarian spread.
While the entertainment value of the festival is high, organizers are quick to point out that it is not just monkey business.
“This monkey feast festival is a successful event that helps promote Lopburi’s tourism among international tourists every year,” said Yongyuth Kitwatanusont, the festival’s founder.
“Previously, there were around 300 monkeys in Lopburi before increasing to nearly 4,000 nowadays. But Lopburi is known as a monkey city, which means monkeys and people can live in harmony.”
Such harmony could be seen in the lack of shyness exhibited by the monkeys, which climbed on to visitors, vehicles and lampposts. At times the curious animals looked beyond the abundant feast and took an interest in other items.
“There was a monkey on my back as I was trying to take a selfie. He grabbed the sunglasses right off my face and ran off on to the top of a lamppost and was trying to eat them for a while,” said Ayisha Bhatt, an English teacher from California working in Thailand.
The delighted onlookers were largely undeterred by the risk of petty theft, although some were content to exercise caution.
“We have to take care with them, better leave them to it. Not too near is better,” said Carlos Rodway, a tourist from Cadiz, Spain, having previously been unceremoniously treated as a climbing frame by one audacious monkey.
The festival is an annual tradition in Lopburi and held as a way to show gratitude to the monkeys for bringing in tourism. This year’s theme is “monkeys feeding monkeys,” an antidote to previous years where monkey participation had decreased due to high numbers of tourists, which intimidated the animals.

Hyderabad: Telangana Labour Minister Ch Malla Reddy on Sunday said there would not be raids by income tax (I-T) once Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao forms the government at the Centre after the 2024 general elections.
“In 2024, KCR’s government will come at the Centre. Then, income tax will be relaxed all over the country. There will not be any more raids. Everyone can earn whatever they can and KCR will bring in such a rule that they (people) can voluntarily pay tax. Whatever it is, there has to be a change in the country,” he said in a meeting at Siddipet.
The I-T sleuths recently conducted searches at the residences of Malla Reddy and his family members. Raids were also carried out on educational institutions.
During the raids, Reddy alleged that the CRPF personnel who accompanied the I-T officials thrashed his son.
Cases were registered on November 24 by police here against Malla Reddy for allegedly obstructing duties of income tax officials during the searches carried out by them and also against an I-T official following a complaint by the Minister’s son, police had said.
“There are so many students in our educational institutions. They (I-T Department) say you have black money. You have stolen money. You take donations (capitation fee from students). I have never seen this anywhere. I am not scared as long as KCR is there,” Reddy further said. | https://www.siasat.com/kcr-will-come-to-power-at-centre-in-2024-there-wont-be-i-t-raids-ch-malla-reddy-2467219/ | 2022-11-27T13:08:23 | en | 0.986675 |

CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) — Isaiah Newell ran for the go-ahead touchdown with 8:11 remaining, and No. 22 Oregon State took advantage of critical mistakes in the fourth quarter by No. 10 Oregon to rally for a 38-34 victory Saturday.
The Beavers (9-3, 6-3 Pac-12, No 21 CFP) trailed 31-10 late in the third quarter and 34-17 early in the fourth, but the Ducks (9-3, 7-2, No. 9 CFP) gave their rivals a short field on three consecutive possessions. Oregon State converted all three drives into touchdowns without attempting a single pass.
“I felt like we won the Super Bowl,” Oregon State receiver Tyjon Lindsey said.
Oregon missed out on a spot in the Pac-12 championship game when No. 12 Washington beat Washington State later Saturday. No. 14 Utah won a tiebreaker and will face No. 5 Southern California on Friday for the league title.
Oregon State concluded by far its best regular season under fifth-year coach Jonathan Smith, who took over a program that went 1-11 in 2017.
“Didn’t play our best for a long period of time,” Smith said. “But knowing this game was a long, long game, they found a way at the end.”
The Beavers couldn’t have done it without plenty of help from the Ducks.
First, Oregon gave up a 48-yard kickoff return by Silas Bolden, and a facemask penalty set up Oregon State at the Ducks 36. Newell ran for a 15-yard touchdown to make it 34-24.
Next, Oregon punter Alex Bales dropped the snap and fell on the ball at his own 2. Two plays later, quarterback Ben Gulbranson pounded it in from the 1 to get Oregon State to 34-31.
Oregon then went for it on fourth-and-1 at its own 29, and Bo Nix was stopped for a 1-yard loss on the Ducks’ only called QB run of the game. Newell scored four plays later, with a convoy of blockers helping to push him into the end zone from 6 yards out.
Oregon State ran for 268 yards and five touchdowns, overcoming its lack of a passing game.
“We had the ability to execute when it mattered,” said guard Brandon Kipper, who was honored along with the entire senior class before the game. “There’s really no words to describe what that just felt like.”
Damien Martinez led the way with 103 yards on 15 carries, his sixth consecutive 100-yard game. Gulbranson was just 6 of 13 for 60 yards with two interceptions, but he ran for two scores. Newell scored on his only two carries.
Nix passed for 327 yards and two touchdowns and Oregon finished with 470 total yards, but Nix’s limited mobility because of a right ankle injury was a major factor.
After Oregon State’s go-ahead score, Nix drove the Ducks to the Beavers 2, but Jordan James was stuffed for a 1-yard loss on third down. On fourth down, Nix’s pass intended for Troy Franklin in the end zone was low and incomplete.
“We had our chances and couldn’t convert,” Nix said, “and maybe should have done some things differently.”
The Beavers converted the one first down they needed to run out the clock.
“Coach Smith was very well prepared for this game,” first-year Oregon coach Dan Lanning said. “We were prepared for half or three quarters of the game as it turned out.”
Oregon led 14-10 at halftime, and early in the second half it was the Beavers whose errors led to scores.
Oregon State forced a three-and-out to start the third quarter, but Gulbranson’s first-down pass over the middle intended for Silas Bolden was intercepted by linebacker Jeffrey Bassa, who returned it 33 yards to the 2.
James ran for a touchdown on the next play to make it 21-10.
Oregon increased its lead to 28-10 on Noah Whittington’s 3-yard run with 9:02 left in the third.
Oregon State’s third turnover — a fumble by Tre’Shaun Harrison after a 1-yard reception — gave the Ducks another short field. Camden Lewis converted a 42-yard field goal, extending the lead to 31-10 with 4:46 left in the quarter.
Nix threw both of his TD passes in the first half. He hit Chase Coda for a 44-yard score in the first quarter. Then he connected with Franklin for a 9-yard TD with 12 seconds left in the half, completing a 13-play, 95-yard drive.
THE TAKEWAY
Oregon: Nix didn’t have his usual dual-threat capability, and it was never more apparent than on that critical fourth-down run.
Oregon State: The Ducks’ mistakes helped, but Oregon State also wore down Oregon with its strong running game.
UP NEXT
Oregon: Awaits a bowl invitation.
Oregon State: Awaits a bowl invitation.

Bhopal: Even as Assembly poll in Madhya Pradesh is about one year away, the political temperature here has risen after former Congress President Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra entered the state.
In the 2018 Asembly elections, the Congress won 114 out of 230 seats, while the BJP bagged 109 seats- there was a difference of only five seats between them.
Since both the parties could not get absolute majority in the elections, they have been working on a new strategy for the polls to be held in 2023.
Bharat Jodo Yatra, under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi has reached Malwa-Nimar region of Madhya Pradesh.
Gandhi attacked Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia without taking his name, accusing the BJP of forming the government by spending crores of rupees to buy 20-25 ‘corrupt’ MLAs. While the Congress had formed the government by winning in the polls, he added.
Expressing happiness over the Yatra gaining people’s participation and appreciation, Madhya Pradesh Congress President Kamal Nath said that the enthusiasm shown by the people in greeting Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi showed that the campaign would create history in the state.
The BJP, on the other hand, has been organising Tribal Pride Yatras in tribal areas including Nimar-Malwa region.
Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and State President Vishnu Dutt Sharma have been visiting areas with tribal population and apprising them of the work being done by the government for them and the benefits of the The Panchayats Extension to Scheduled Areas (PESA) Act.
Sharma took a jibe at Gandhi and asked him to think why leaders like Ghulam Nabi Azad and Kapil Sibal left the Congress. He added that the present day Congress had been reduced to being a party of one family.
Political analysts believe that the upcoming Assembly elections would be decisive, which even former Congress Chief Minister, Digvijay Singh has accepted.
They say that Congress’ defeat or victory in the polls will decide their future course of action.

KHERSON, Ukraine (AP) — Shelling by Russian forces struck several areas in eastern and southern Ukraine overnight as utility crews continued a scramble to restore power, water and heating following widespread strikes in recent weeks, officials said Sunday.
With persistent snowfall blanketing the capital, Kyiv, Sunday, analysts predicted that wintry weather — bringing with it frozen terrain and grueling fighting conditions — could have an increasing impact on the direction of the conflict that has raged since Russian forces invaded Ukraine more than nine months ago.
But for the moment, both sides were bogged down by heavy rain and muddy battlefield conditions in some areas, experts said.
After a blistering barrage of Russian artillery strikes on at least two occasions over the past two weeks, infrastructure teams in Ukraine were fanning out in around-the-clock deployments to restore key basic services as many Ukrainians dealt with only a few hours of electricity per day — if any.
Ukrenergo, the state power grid operator, said Sunday that electricity producers are now supplying about 80% of demand. That’s an improvement from Saturday’s 75%, the company says.
The Institute for the Study of War, a think tank that has been closely monitoring developments in Ukraine, said reporting from both sides indicated that heavy rain and mud have had an impact — but wider freezing expected along the front lines in coming days could play a role.
“It is unclear if either side is actively planning or preparing to resume major offensive or counter-offensive operations at that time, but the meteorological factors that have been hindering such operations will begin lifting,” it said in a note published Saturday.
ISW said Russian forces were digging in further east of the city of Kherson, from which they were expelled by Ukrainian forces more than two weeks ago, and continued “routine artillery fire” across the Dnipro River.
In the eastern Donetsk region, five people were killed in shelling over the past day, according to governor Pavlo Kyrylenko. Overnight shelling was reported by regional leaders in the Zaporizhzhia and Dnipropetrovsk areas to the west.
Kharkiv governor Oleh Syniehubov said one person was killed and three wounded in the northeastern region.
A day earlier, a long column of cars, vans and trucks caravanned away from the recently liberated city of Kherson after intense shelling in recent days and amid concerns more pummeling from the Russian forces nearby could loom again in coming days.
Galina Lugova, head of the city’s military administration, said in an interview Sunday that evacuation trains had been lined up and bomb shelters set up in all city districts with stoves, beds, first aid kits and fire extinguishers.
“Everything you need,” she said.
“We are preparing for a winter in difficult conditions, but we will do everything to make people safe,” Lugova said. Her biggest worry, she said, was “shelling that intensifies every day. Shelling, shelling and shelling again.”
On the roads out of the city, some residents felt they had no choice but to leave.
“The day before yesterday, artillery hit our house. Four flats burned down. Windows shattered,” said Vitaliy Nadochiy, driving out with a terrier on his lap and a Ukrainian flag dangling from a sun visor. “We can’t be there. There is no electricity, no water, heating. So we are leaving to go to my brother.”

Hyderabad: Having educated motorists for a week on the dangers of driving on the wrong side of the road and triple riding, the Hyderabad traffic police from Monday will book a case and levy fines on the violators.
Last week the Hyderabad police launched a special drive to ‘educate’ the people about the risks of driving in the wrong direction on roads. During the period the police conducted street corner meetings at various public places and took up a social media campaign.
“We created awareness through different mediums for a week and now we will start booking cases against violators. Fines will be levied in accordance with the M V Act rules,” said A V Ranganath, the Joint Commissioner of Police, (traffic)
The traffic police have identified some stretches where many accidents took place due to wrong-side driving and initially focus on those areas.
The traffic police will book cases under Section 119/177 & 184 of MV Act on wrong side driving violators and impose a fine of Rs. 1700 on them. Similarly, those caught triple riding will be fined Rs. 1200 and cases will be booked under Section 128/184 r/w 177 of MV Act.
This year, 15 persons had died in road accidents caused due to wrong-side driving while 21 deaths were reported due to this in 2021 and 15 in the year 2020. Due to triple riding, eight deaths were reported this year and 15 in the year 2021 and 24 in the year 2020.
Sources said if any previous challans are pending the traffic police will collect that amount also from the owner of the vehicle. | https://www.siasat.com/post-awareness-drives-hyderabad-police-to-book-cases-levy-fines-on-traffic-violators-2467194/ | 2022-11-27T13:08:35 | en | 0.972586 |
Hyderabad: Patancheru MLA Gudem Mahipal Reddy on Sunday urged fishermen to enrol as members of cooperative societies.

Pockets of shelling across Ukraine as wintry warfare looms

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Protests against China’s strict “zero-COVID” policies resurfaced in Shanghai and Beijing on Sunday afternoon, continuing a round of demonstrations that have spread across the country since a deadly apartment fire in the northwestern city of Urumqi led to questions over such rigid anti-virus measures.
Crowds stood and filmed as police started shoving at people who had gathered in on the same street in Shanghai where police had cleared hundreds away with force just hours before.
They shouted, “We don’t want PCR tests, we want freedom!” according to a witness who did not want to be named for fear of retribution.
Since Friday people have held protests across China, where street demonstrations are extremely rare. But anger and frustration have flared over the deaths from a fire in an apartment building in Urumqi that the public believes was caused by excessive lockdown measures that delayed rescue.
A crowdsourced list on social media showed that there were demonstrations in 50 universities. Videos posted on social media that said they were filmed in Nanjing in the east, Guangzhou in the south, Beijing in the north and at least five other cities showed protesters tussling with police in white protective suits or dismantling barricades used to seal off neighborhoods. The Associated Press could not independently verify all the protests.
Online, videos from the scenes quickly emerged. Some of the most shared videos came from Shanghai, which had borne a devastating lockdown in spring in which people struggled to secure groceries and medicines and were forcefully taken into centralized quarantine.
In the dark early hours of Sunday, standing on the road named after a city in Xinjiang where at least 10 people had just died in an apartment fire, protesters chanted “Xi Jinping! Step down! CCP! Step down.”
A protester who chanted with the crowd confirmed that people did shout for the removal of Xi Jinping, China’s leader — words that many would never have thought would have been said in one of China’s biggest cities.
Hundreds of protesters had gathered along a street in Shanghai starting around midnight on Saturday. They split into two different sections of Middle Urumqi Road. There was one group that was more calm and brought candles, flowers and signs honoring those who died in the apartment fire. The other, said a protester who declined to be named out of fear of arrest, was more active, shouting slogans and singing the national anthem.
The energy was encouraging, the protester said. People called for an official apology for deaths in the Urumqi fire. Others discussed the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre in which the ruling Communist Party had ordered troops to fire on student protesters. One ethnic Uyghur individual shared his experiences of discrimination and police violence.
“Everyone thinks that Chinese people are afraid to come out and protest, that they don’t have any courage,” said the protester who said it was his first time demonstrating. “Actually in my heart, I also thought of this. But then when I went there, I found that the environment was such that everyone was very brave.”
At first the scene was peaceful. Around 3 a.m., it turned violent. Police started surrounding the protesters and broke up the first more active group before they came for the second that had brought flowers. The goal was to move people off the main street.
A protester who gave only his family name, Zhao, said one of his friends was beaten by police and two were pepper sprayed. He said police stomped his feet as he tried to stop them from taking his friend away. He lost his shoes in the process, and left the protest barefoot.
Zhao says protesters yelled slogans including “(We) do not want PCR (tests), but want freedom,” in reference to the protest staged by a lone man in Beijing ahead of the 20th Communist Party congress in Beijing in October.
After three years of harsh lockdowns that have left people confined in their homes for weeks at a time, the Xinjiang fire appears to have finally broken through the Chinese public’s ability to tolerate the harsh measures.
China’s approach to controlling COVID-19 with strict lockdowns and mass testing was hailed by its own citizens as minimizing deaths at a time when other countries were suffering devastating waves of infections. Xi had held up the approach as an example of the superiority of the Chinese system in comparison to the West and especially the U.S., which had politicized the use of masks and had difficulties enacting widespread lockdowns.
In recent weeks, that attitude has changed as tragedies under excessive enforcement of “zero COVID” have piled up.
In Shanghai hundreds of police stood in lines, forming clusters around protesters in a strategy to clear them out, protesters said. Through the effort of a few hours, the police broke apart the protesters into smaller groups, moving them out from Urumqi Road.
By 5 a.m. Sunday, the police had managed to clear the crowd.
The protester who declined to be named said that he saw multiple people being taken away, forced by police into vans, but could not identify them. A crowdsourced attempt online has so far identified six people being hauled away, based on images and videos from the night, as well as information by those who knew the detained. Among the detained is a young woman who is only known by her nickname “Little He.”
Posters circulated online calling for further action in Shanghai and in Chengdu, a major city in China’s southwest, on Sunday evening. Shanghai’s protest called for the release of those taken away.
In Beijing, students at the nation’s top college, Tsinghua University, held a demonstration Sunday afternoon in front of one of the school’s cafeterias. Three young women had stood there initially with a simple message of condolence for the victims of the Urumqi apartment fire, according to a witness, who declined to be named out of fear of retribution.
Students shouted “freedom of speech” and sang the Internationale. The deputy party secretary of the school arrived at the protest, promising to hold a schoolwide discussion.
Meanwhile, two cities in China’s northwest, where residents have been confined to their homes for up to four months, eased some anti-virus controls Sunday after public protests Friday.
Urumqi, where the fire occurred, is a city of 4.8 million people and capital of the Xinjiang region, as well as the smaller city of Korla were preparing to reopen markets and other businesses in areas deemed at low risk of virus transmission and to restart bus, train and airline service, state media reported.

NEW YORK, Nov. 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of U.S. Bancorp (NYSE: USB) between August 1, 2019 and July 28, 2022, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important December 27, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased U.S. Bancorp securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the U.S. Bancorp class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=9420 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than December 27, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) U.S. Bank National Association (U.S. Bancorp's banking subsidiary) created sales pressure on its employees that led them to open credit cards, lines of credit, and deposit accounts without consumers' knowledge and consent; (2) since at least 2015, U.S. Bank National Association and by extension, U.S. Bancorp, was aware of such unauthorized conduct that it was violating relevant regulations and laws aimed at protecting its consumers; (3) U.S. Bancorp failed to properly monitor its employees from engaging in such unlawful conduct, detect and stop the misconduct, and identify and remediate harmed consumers; (4) all the foregoing subjected the Company to a foreseeable risk of heightened regulatory scrutiny or investigation; (5) U.S. Bancorp's revenues were in part the product of unlawful conduct and thus unsustainable; and (6) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the U.S. Bancorp class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=9420 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Much admired peace hardly goes well with the elemental human psyche, and violence, animosity, discord, and conflict get approval instantly; hence Media cannot knock over it swiftly. In a fact-free world that draws on hate volcanoes, newspapers, TV, radio, and interactive media may find fashioning a gripping narrative of peace an uphill task. However, they can put a premium on telling the truth, no matter how arduous it might be. Telling the truth alone can mitigate the suffering. It is what came through in a perceptively pulsating debate in an Urdu media conclave set in motion by the iconic figures of Indian journalism Rajdeep Sardesai, Srinivasan Jain, Rahul Dev, Pankaj Pachauri, Madhukar Upadhyaya, Qamar Waheed Naqvi, Shakeel Shamsi, Sanjeev Kapoor, Anant Vijay, Sumera Khan and Azam Shahid.
At the outset, Srinivasan Jain regretted that Media has abandoned its torch bearer and moral arbiter role and become the biggest propagator of acrimony. It has defiled the basic principles of journalism.
Rajdeep Sardesai held social Media equally responsible for uninterruptedly dishing out provocative content against a community. Rahul Dev believed that the Media was supposed to be a purveyor of the truth only, and peace had augured well with Media.
Qamar Waheed Naqvi elucidated the primary concerns of algorithmic-driven media that have become bereft of human values.
Anant Vijay said new media coverage trends need to be located from a global perspective. If the emphasis is laid on stories of women, it can pave the way for dialogue and peace. Pankaj Pachauri, too, described it as a global phenomenon, but its onslaught needs to be arrested immediately
The conclave was part of the bicentennial celebration of Urdu journalism held in Hyderabad. It brought a refreshing whizz of air as no discussion on Urdu journalism falls short of lavishly eulogizing it for its stimulative and wakening role in the freedom struggle and coining revolution energizing term,’ Inqilab Zindabad”.
Similarly, Maulvi Mohammad Baqar’s supreme sacrifice for the country (the editor of Delhi Urdu Akhbar who got the death penalty as the British took over Delhi in 1857) is rightfully mentioned, and so is the name of Har Dutta, who launched the first Urdu newspaper of Urdu in 1822 as the clinching evidence of Urdu’s secular credentials. The unconditional admiration, betraying an intense obsession with chewing the cud, gets intensified further when the bicentenary of Urdu journalism is celebrated across the country with much fanfare. It is the moment of celebration and introspection, but jubilation looms, and soul-searching gives the slip.
One has to locate the role of Urdu journalism in a fact-free world where the Media takes pride in justifying the Government instead of questioning its anti-people policies. How do Urdu newspapers respond to the hatred volcano (Srinivasan Jain used this term) unleashed by the mainstream media? When nationalism has become the subject of an everyday referendum, do Urdu newspapers seek to uphold the dignity of the term by making a candid difference between patriotism and nationalism? Despite its frequent forays into regressive and sentimental topics, does it produce a public sphere for rational debate? Does new information technology go well with Urdu newspapers? If digitalization is the future, will Urdu retain its script? The omission of frank and candid discussion sans rhetorical flourish centering these questions left media educators baffled, and now it was the turn of Professor Ehtisham Ahmad Khan, Dean School of Mass Communication and Professor Mohammad Faryad, Head, Department of Mass Communication, Maulana Azad University Hyderabad, to take the lead.
The Maulana Azad University has invited a plethora of renowned media practitioners and distinguished academicians to zero in on these pertinent questions in a recent three-day international Urdu journalism conference.
The conference quite remarkably went beyond narrating the History of Urdu journalism and its dwindling fortunes and bemoaning the ever-increasing decline of Urdu. It tried to set in motion a comprehensive debate on how Indian journalism, including Urdu media, falter in creating a space for reasoned debate in eight plenary sessions. The active participation of celebrated professionals belonging to TV, Radio, and Print, such as Dr Waviel Awwad, Parnjoy Guha Thakurtha, Satish Jacob, Swapan Das Gupta, Siddarth Varadarajan, Rajdeep Sardesai, Srinivasan Jain, Qamar Waheed Naqvi, Pankaj Pachauri,Madhukar Upadhya, Rahul Dev, Qurban Ali, Hasan Kamal, Rahul Srivastava, Anant Vijay, Shahid Lateef, Shameem Tariq, Azam Shahid, Naghma Saher , Sumera Khan, Arfa Khanam Sherwani, Shakeel Hasan Shamsi, Farhat Rizvi, Shahira Naeem, Amir Ali Khan, Aziz Burney, Sarfraz Arzoo, Hisamul Islam Siddiqui, Suhail Anjum, Yameen Ansari, Saeed Alam, P.K. Tiwari, Mehtab Alam, Fazil Hussain Parvez, Mustafa Kamal, Feroz Naqvi, Zaman Habib, Asdar Ali, Shakeel Akhtar, Ismael Zafar and many eminent academicians Prof Ifthikhar Ahmad, Prof Sanjay Diwedi, Dr Athar Faroqui, Prof Mohammad Sajjad, Prof Shahid Hussain, Prof Asad Nizam, Prof M J Warsi, Professor Farhat Baseer and Dr. Dabeer Ahmad lend credence to deliberations.
Since its inception, Pseudo-religiosity-fed Identity has been the central preoccupation of Urdu newspapers, and up to a large extent, identarian politics prevented them from turning attention to the everyday disaster and agrarian issues that shape the destiny of the readers. It peeved many, and it prompted Prof Sajjad, an author and columnist who teaches History at Aligarh Muslim University, to suggest that the time has come to look beyond the identity prism. Seventy-five years after independence, Urdu journalism remains mired in inconsequential polemics. Now gaze has to be relocated, and one must realize that if issues having a direct bearing on day-to-day life are addressed, Identity will be retained. Now it must go well with Urdu media.
Nostalgia gains currency in dispossession and turmoil, but the past, mostly imagined past, no matter how glorious it might be, can never be the future. Religious, cultural and linguistic Identity, regional aspirations, and liberal values occupy equal space in the debate, which Herbamas calls the ‘public sphere.’ The media create it, and freedom of expression figures prominently. Urdu media falters considerably here, and the lapse contributed immensely to pseudo-religiosity and conservatism.
In the inaugural session, veteran journalist Mr Hasan Kamal asserted that the survival of Urdu newspapers rests with digitalization. Online edition reduces costs, and the printing looks redundant.
Kamna Prasad, the founder of Jashn-e-Bahar, said that people have religion but not languages. It is a religion that needs language. Urdu as a language has kept the human spirit above the world shaped by Sheikhs and Brahmans.
Swapan Das Gupta, a prominent columnist and parliamentarian, said the much admired digital word poses a grave threat to the language’s existence as it will only reduce it to a spoken language. Media independent of the script can disseminate information but cannot preserve the literary culture.
.
Shakeel Hassan Shamsi does not buy the argument that Urdu journalism is in decline and refers to the widespread growth of Urdu newspapers.
Shahid Lateef, the editor of Inqilab Mumbai, said that these two centuries contributed significantly to the collective life of India. He said that current times are challenging. For him, prediction for the bright future of Urdu Journalism betrays wishful thinking as the language, both written and spoken, finds it difficult to survive.
The Chief Guest, S H Awwad, a journalist from Syria, pointed out that language plays a crucial role in enriching and preserving culture. Sometimes language becomes the medium of revolution, and Urdu bears testimony to it.
The Vice-Chancellor of MANNU, Prof Ainul Hasan Abidi, an acclaimed academician, discussed the historical role of Persian and Urdu newspapers in fostering cultural ties with neighbouring countries. He mentioned Raja Ram Mohan Roy’s Persian newspaper Miratul Akhbar and how its crusade against the repression of women influenced Iran.
In the plenary session, Prof Sanjay Dwivedi said that some onus for partition lies on Urdu and the wrongly perceived institutionalization of the difference between Urdu and Hindi left Urdu exasperated.
Shashadri Chari said that various divides are a part of history, and the language divide is one of them. Still, language cannot be used to inflict discrimination as it is, per se, neutral. Urdu is not the language of Muslims, nor is Hindi the language of Hindus.
Qurban Ali said Urdu had not received official patronage, yet Bollywood used Urdu as the medium for filmmaking. He regretted that Urdu is no longer a language that fetches one livelihood. He said that it is ironic that the bicentenary celebrations of Urdu Journalism are being held only here and not in New Delhi.
The three-day event comprised the inaugural session, Urdu media conclave, plenary, and technical sessions. Two docudramas on Rahi Masoom Raza and Ghalib and Kolkata were also staged.
In the valedictory session, Prof Ehtisham Ahmad Khan said that the celebration began on March 27 with the documentary on Urdu journalism featuring 200 journalists. Around 400 persons participated in the seminar.
Amir Ali Khan, the Managing Editor of Siasat, reminded the adversarial role of journalists and said that journalists must question the power that- be.
Khan also said that we need not worry about the condition of Urdu journalism. Communalism during current times should not discourage journalists. He said that the strength of speaking truth to power is only left with Urdu journalists now. He spoke about the need to live on a mantra – “Each One Help One”. | https://www.siasat.com/urdu-journalism-beyond-rhetorical-flourish-2467160/ | 2022-11-27T13:08:53 | en | 0.933836 |

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — A protest against China’s strict “zero-COVID” policies resurfaced in Shanghai on Sunday afternoon even after police cleared away hundreds of demonstrators in the early morning with force and pepper spray.
Crowds stood and filmed as police started shoving at people who had gathered in the street and shouted, “We don’t want PCR tests, we want freedom!” according to an witness who did not want to be named for fear of retribution.
Since Friday people have held protests across China, where street demonstrations are extremely rare. But anger and frustration have flared over the deaths from a fire in an apartment building in Urumqi that the public believes was caused by excessive lockdown measures that delayed rescue.
A crowdsourced list on social media showed that there were demonstrations in 50 universities. Videos posted on social media that said they were filmed in Nanjing in the east, Guangzhou in the south and at least five other cities showed protesters tussling with police in white protective suits or dismantling barricades used to seal off neighborhoods. The Associated Press could not independently verify all the protests.
Online, videos from the scenes quickly emerged. Some of the most shared videos came from Shanghai, which had borne a devastating lockdown in spring in which people struggled to secure groceries and medicines and were forcefully taken into centralized quarantine.
In the dark early hours of Sunday, standing on the road named after a city in Xinjiang where at least 10 people had just died in an apartment fire, protesters chanted “Xi Jinping! Step down! CCP! Step down.”
A protester who chanted with the crowd confirmed that people did shout for the removal of Xi Jinping, China’s leader — words that many would never have thought would have been said in one of China’s biggest cities.
Hundreds of protesters had gathered along a street in Shanghai starting around midnight on Saturday. They split into two different sections of Middle Urumqi Road. There was one group that was more calm and brought candles, flowers and signs honoring those who died in the apartment fire. The other, said a protester who declined to be named out of fear of arrest, was more active, shouting slogans and singing the national anthem.
The energy was encouraging, the protester said. People called for an official apology for deaths in the Urumqi fire. Others discussed the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre in which the ruling Communist Party had ordered troops to fire on student protesters. One ethnic Uyghur individual shared his experiences of discrimination and police violence.
“Everyone thinks that Chinese people are afraid to come out and protest, that they don’t have any courage,” said the protester who said it was his first time demonstrating. “Actually in my heart, I also thought of this. But then when I went there, I found that the environment was such that everyone was very brave.”
At first the scene was peaceful. Around 3 a.m., it turned violent. Police started surrounding the protesters and broke up the first more active group before they came for the second that had brought flowers. The goal was to move people off the main street.
A protester who gave only his family name, Zhao, said one of his friends was beaten by police and two were pepper sprayed. He said police stomped his feet as he tried to stop them from taking his friend away. He lost his shoes in the process, and left the protest barefoot.
Zhao says protesters yelled slogans including “(We) do not want PCR (tests), but want freedom,” in reference to the protest staged by a lone man in Beijing ahead of the 20th Communist Party congress in Beijing in October.
After three years of harsh lockdowns that have left people confined in their homes for weeks at a time, the Xinjiang fire appears to have finally broken through the Chinese public’s ability to tolerate the harsh measures.
China’s approach to controlling COVID-19 with strict lockdowns and mass testing was hailed by its own citizens as minimizing deaths at a time when other countries were suffering devastating waves of infections. Xi had held up the approach as an example of the superiority of the Chinese system in comparison to the West and especially the U.S., which had politicized the use of masks and had difficulties enacting widespread lockdowns.
In recent weeks, that attitude has changed as tragedies under excessive enforcement of “zero COVID” have piled up.
In Shanghai hundreds of police stood in lines, forming clusters around protesters in a strategy to clear them out, protesters said. Through the effort of a few hours, the police broke apart the protesters into smaller groups, moving them out from Urumqi Road.
By 5 a.m. Sunday, the police had managed to clear the crowd.
The protester who declined to be named said that he saw multiple people being taken away, forced by police into vans, but could not identify them. A crowdsourced attempt online has so far identified six people being hauled away, based on images and videos from the night, as well as information by those who knew the detained. Among the detained is a young woman who is only known by her nickname “Little He.”
Posters circulated online calling for further action in Shanghai and in Chengdu, a major city in China’s southwest, on Sunday evening. Shanghai’s protest called for the release of those taken away.
Meanwhile, two cities in China’s northwest, where residents have been confined to their homes for up to four months, eased some anti-virus controls Sunday after public protests Friday.
Urumqi, where the fire occurred, is a city of 4.8 million people and capital of the Xinjiang region, as well as the smaller city of Korla were preparing to reopen markets and other businesses in areas deemed at low risk of virus transmission and to restart bus, train and airline service, state media reported.

Thiruvananthapuram: The Kerala Police have registered an FIR on the Vizhinjam clashes and the Archbishop of the Latin Catholic Diocese, Thomas J Netto has been named as the first accused.
More than 50 priests of the Latin Catholic church, including the Auxiliary bishop Christudas and Vicar General, Yujin Pereria were charged in the FIR. The police mentioned that the priests, including the Bishop, conspired for the attack at Vizhinjam port on Saturday.
Those opposed to the Vizhinjam port of Adani group led by the Latin Catholic church of Thiruvananthapuram had attacked the trucks that were bringing stones to the port side and the glasses of many trucks were shattered on Saturday. The protesters also prevented the trucks from reaching the site by blocking the movement.
A group of local people, who were in support of the Vizhinjam port, tried to intervene to allow the trucks to pass. But, they were stopped by the protesters which led to major clashes between the two groups. Those supporting the Vizhinjam port had the backing of the CPI(M), BJP and the SNDP, the powerful backwards-class organisation of the Ezhava community.
In the clash, several people from both sides were injured and the police pegged the loss of properties at Rs 2 lakh. The police also mentioned that the losses should be retrieved from the Bishop and other priests who were charged in the FIR.
The Vicar General of the Latin Catholic Church, Father Yujin Pereria while speaking to the media persons said, “We will approach the High court of Kerala for justice and we will be submitting our prayer in the court on Monday.”
He also said that there was a concerted effort on the part of the state government to create the situation of clashes at Vizhinjam port premises. He also said that the government was trying to raise issues against the priests. | https://www.siasat.com/vizhinjamport-clash-kerala-police-file-fir-name-archbishop-as-accused-2467149/ | 2022-11-27T13:09:05 | en | 0.98665 |

STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Stanford coach David Shaw resigned Saturday night after finishing his 12th season at his alma mater with a 36-25 loss to BYU that dropped the Cardinal to 3-9.
Shaw, 50, led Stanford to five double-digit win seasons, with three Pac-12 titles and Rose Bowl appearances in his first six years as head coach. He finished 96-54 with the Cardinal and was considered one of the most respected coaches in country.
Shaw arrived unusually late to his postgame news conference and said his decision only came in the last few days.
“It’s been great. It’s been a great run,” he said. “But it’s time for me to step aside. It’s time for the next group to come in.”
The falloff in recent years has been drastic. The Cardinal are 14-28 over the last four seasons as the program has struggled to keep up in a rapidly changing college football landscape with players transferring more freely and earning money for name, image and likeness.
Stanford is 3-16 in Pac-12 play the past two seasons, including consecutive losses to rival California.
“We’re not that far away,” Shaw said.
Shaw, a California native who played receiver for Stanford in the early 1990s, replaced Jim Harbaugh as head coach in 2011. He had been offensive coordinator for Harbaugh from 2007-10.
Shaw spent nine seasons as an NFL assistant before joining Harbaugh’s staff at the University of San Diego and then following him to Stanford.
He was part of a remarkable program turnaround under Harbaugh and then under his leadership Stanford became the premier program in the Pac-12 with a physical style dubbed Intellectual Brutality.
As the program declined, Shaw has remained steadfastly loyal to his assistant coaches. The staff has had few changes lately, with Shaw repeatedly saying he felt firing assistants was pushing the blame for the team’s failures from himself to others.
Stanford is a private school that does not disclose contract terms with its coaches so it is unclear how many years Shaw had left on his deal.

LONDON (AP) — Matt Hancock, the U.K’s scandal-prone former health secretary, is seeking an unlikely form of redemption Sunday: attempting to win “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here” — a grueling, often gruesome reality show set in the Australian jungle.
Hancock led Britain’s response to COVID-19 in the first year of the pandemic, telling people to stay away from others to protect the health service — then got caught breaking his government’s own rules when video emerged of him kissing and groping an aide he was having an affair with.
He was forced to resign when The Sun newspaper published the CCTV images. This time, though, he knows that camera is on, and is behaving in ways many will find even more distasteful: eating the raw nether parts of camels, cows and sheep, among other things.
Yet the British public apparently does not agree.
The show sends a group of famous people, often C-list celebrities, to the Australian rainforest, subjects them to trials involving spiders and snakes, and allows the public to vote them out one by one. While many Britons have been disgusted by Hancock's appearance, blaming him for apparent failings in the government’s early response to the pandemic, viewers have upended expectations by voting Hancock through to Sunday evening’s final.
The former health chief has already seen the back of Culture Club singer Boy George and former rugby player Mike Tindall, whose wife, Zara, is the niece of King Charles III. Tindall body tackled Hancock in another of the show’s tasks, and has been poking fun at the former health secretary's politicking.
“He clearly wants to win,” said Tindall, adding that Hancock was constantly aiming his t-shirt with voting number at the camera. “Once a politician, always a politician. Always polling for votes.”
Fellow politicians have been less enthusiastic than the show-voting public. When it was announced that Hancock would appear, he was slated by fellow lawmakers, including many from his own party, and he was suspended as a Conservative member of parliament.
His success seems to have done nothing to ease their ire. Speaking to Sky News Sunday, Cabinet minister Mark Harper said: “I don’t think serving members of Parliament should be taking part in reality television programs.
“However well they do on them, I still think they should be doing the job for which they are paid a good salary — which is representing their constituents.”
Announcing that he was going to “step up," Australian comedian Adam Hills, host of comedy current affairs show “The Last Leg," went to Hancock's constituency in eastern England last weekend and met with locals to hear their problems.
“I reckon I can do a better job in a week than he has done thus far,” Hills said on the show.
Still, a political comeback for Hancock is not out of the question. Conservative lawmaker Nadine Dorries was suspended in 2012 for appearing on the same show. Nine years later, then-Prime Minister Boris Johnson appointed her to his Cabinet. | https://www.chron.com/entertainment/article/Disgraced-former-UK-Minister-seeks-jungle-17613449.php | 2022-11-27T13:10:01 | en | 0.985821 |
Pretty much everyone hates Airbnb cleaning fees — those pesky charges tacked on to your vacation rental bill that supposedly cover the costs to get the place ready for the next visitors. Travelers don’t like the expense, and hosts don’t like charging them, either.
Dennis Shirshikov, an Airbnb host who owns a rental property in upstate New York, says cleaning fees are the most common complaint he gets from customers.
“We are strongly considering cutting them off,” he says.
And Shirshikov might get his way. Airbnb is set to roll out big changes that won’t end cleaning fees but could make them more transparent for customers and incentivize hosts to reduce or forgo them altogether.
WHAT AIRBNB CLEANING FEES ARE AND WHAT THEY COST
Airbnb cleaning fees are a one-time charge pocketed by hosts to cover costs such as doing laundry or scrubbing toilets between guest stays. They’re separate from the base price and are in addition to service fees or charges for optional add-ons.
A June 2022 NerdWallet analysis of 1,000 U.S. Airbnb reservations with check-in dates in 2022 or 2023 found that the median cleaning fee per listing for a one-night stay was $75.
But cleaning fees vary widely. An Airbnb spokesperson told NerdWallet that cleaning fees are on average less than 10% of the total reservation cost at properties that charge them. Meanwhile, NerdWallet’s analysis found that cleaning fees amounted to about 25% of the total price paid. In fact, almost 40% of listings had cleaning fees from 20% to 29.9% of list price.
And on a few listings, cleaning fees were higher than the nightly rate.
WHY AIRBNB CLEANING FEES ARE SO IRRITATING — AND AIRBNB’S PLAN TO FIX IT
Besides the cost, Airbnb cleaning fees can feel especially brutal simply given their presentation. Airbnb’s search page displays the nightly rate on most interfaces in big, bold lettering, masking the total price. So the total price, presented in lightly colored lettering, can be easy to overlook.
To add to the confusion, nightly rates often don’t correlate with total price anyway. One listing with a $40 nightly rate could total $90 because of a $40 cleaning fee and $10 service fee. Another listing with a $60 nightly rate could turn out cheaper — $73 total — if it has a $13 service fee and no cleaning fee. A traveler with a $50 budget might be seduced by the $40 listing, only to owe more than if they had booked the $60 listing.
But that’s set to change in December when Airbnb plans to roll out a toggle so travelers can opt for search results to display total price, including all fees . Users who don’t toggle the total price display will still see nightly rates only.
The company in November 2022 also adjusted its search algorithm to rank listings by the best total price rather than simply accounting for the nightly rate, which may sway hosts to lower or remove cleaning fees.
WHAT IF THERE WERE NO CLEANING FEES?
A minority of listings don’t charge cleaning fees. Airbnb says 45% of listings worldwide don’t charge those fees. Yet only 15% of the available listings in NerdWallet’s analysis didn’t have a cleaning fee. The disparity is partly because NerdWallet looked at only U.S. listings, while Airbnb’s number is based on listings worldwide, where the fees are less common.
Shirshikov says he’d prefer to list a final price that includes the cleaning fee for two reasons. First, he suspects guest satisfaction would increase, and second, he thinks guests would leave the place cleaner.
Airbnb has warned hosts that cleaning fees can backfire by creating unrealistic expectations of how much guests will offer to help at checkout.
“With a higher (cleaning) fee, guests may expect to just walk away from your space at checkout as they would a hotel room,” according to a memo posted to Airbnb’s website before the cleaning changes kicked in.
That’s exactly what Shirshikov has experienced.
“If they pay a cleaning fee, they sometimes leave the place looking like it’s been lived in and uncleaned for months,” he says, adding that he has returned to find food all over the floor and drinks spilled on the beds.
IF EVERYONE HATES AIRBNB CLEANING FEES, WHY STILL CHARGE THEM?
For hosts who clean the rentals themselves, the money might cover the cost of cleaning supplies. Often, that money is simply passed on to professional housekeeping services who handle the cleaning.
Sébastien Long , the founder and CEO of Texas-based short-term rental company Lodgeur, says he believes the average cleaning fee of $75 is quite low.
Considering staff wages, supplies and replacement items, Long says he estimates it costs roughly $22 to turn over a hotel room. If Airbnb hosts outsource the work, Long estimates, it could cost $175 to clean a two-bedroom apartment, including $100 for the cleaning company, $50 for laundry services and $25 for supplies, such as coffee or mini toiletry bottles.
The cleaning costs for Airbnb hosts are often higher than those for hotels because they likely can’t take advantage of economies of scale. For example, hotels have commercial-size laundry machines. Plus, listings are typically spread out geographically, so there’s the inefficiency of traveling miles between properties. And short-term rentals typically are much larger and have more space to clean (such as kitchens) than hotel rooms.
But other hosts use the fees simply as a way to squeeze more money out of travelers, clearly overcharging for cleaning fees, which is a practice Airbnb warns against.
“Aim to use the cleaning fee to cover the expense of cleaning – not to make additional money,” according to a 2021 memo from Airbnb to hosts .
And then there are the hosts who charge cleaning fees and still ask guests to clean up after themselves. That, too, will likely end soon. Along with more transparent cleaning fees, Airbnb said it also plans to require hosts to post the cleaning requirements on the listing before guests book. Guests will also be able to leave feedback on the checkout process.
Airbnb also clarified that checkout requests should be reasonable. At your next Airbnb stay, if the host is amenable to the changes, you might not have to vacuum or strip the beds. The only things you’ll have to do are turn off the lights, throw away the trash and lock the door.
For now, though, Shirshikov says he’s sticking with charging cleaning fees because he’s uncertain whether users will turn on the toggle.
“I’d want to see how many people actively turn on the full price display,” he says. “Unless guests use it, it won’t mean much for how we do pricing.”

METHODOLOGY
NerdWallet conducted an analysis of 1,000 Airbnb listings (including taxes and fees) with check-in dates in 2022 or 2023. The analysis looked at base prices as well as other fees like cleaning fees for one-, seven- and 30-night stays, also broken down by bookings made three days, four weeks and 47 weeks in advance. Data was gathered for 10 regions around the U.S., and it covered properties with a maximum capacity of two guests versus six guests.

WARNER ROBINS, Ga. (AP) — Ads with the candidates’ ex-wives. Cries of “liar” flying in both directions. Stories of a squalid apartment building and abortions under pressure. Questioning an opponent’s independence. His intellect. His mental stability. His religious faith.
The extended Senate campaign in Georgia between the Democratic incumbent, Raphael Warnock, and his Republican challenger, football legend Herschel Walker, has grown increasingly bitter as their Dec. 6 runoff nears. With Democrats already assured a Senate majority, it’s a striking contrast from two years ago, when the state's twin runoffs were mostly about which party would control the chamber in Washington.
“Herschel Walker ain’t serious,” Warnock told supporters recently in central Georgia, saying that Walker “majors in lying” and fumbles the basics of public policy. “But the election is very serious. Don’t get those two things confused.”
Walker casts Warnock, the senior pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church, as a “hypocrite” and servile to President Joe Biden. Underscoring the insult, Walker calls the incumbent “Scooby-Doo,” complete with an impression of the cartoon hound’s gibberish.
The broadsides reflect the candidates' furious push in the four weeks between the Nov. 8 general election and runoff to persuade their core supporters to cast another ballot. For Walker, it also means drawing more independents and moderates to his campaign after he underperformed a fellow Republican on the ticket, Gov. Brian Kemp, by 200,000 votes.
Warnock led Walker by 37,000 votes out of almost 4 million cast in the first round, but the senator fell short of the 50% threshold needed to avoid a runoff.
In many ways, the shift from his first runoff campaign is exactly what Warnock wanted: a straightforward choice between two candidates. Two years ago, then-President Donald Trump, fresh off his defeat, and Biden, then president-elect, made multiple Georgia trips to illuminate the national stakes of the races between Warnock and Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler and between Democrat Jon Ossoff and Republican Sen. David Perdue as control of the Senate hung in the balance.
Trump ended up alienating his own supporters and many moderates with his false claims of a rigged 2020 presidential election. Victories by Warnock and Ossoff put the Senate at a 50-50 split, with Democrats gaining control by virtue of Vice President Kamala Harris' tiebreaking vote. Warnock also became Georgia's first Black senator.
This year, with Warnock vying for a full six-year term after winning the 2021 special election, Democrats have already guaranteed control of the Senate by flipping a seat in Pennsylvania. A Warnock win would give Democrats an outright majority at 51-49, meaning that the parties would not have to negotiate a power-sharing agreement.
Warnock’s preferred emphasis for most of his reelection bid has been his deal-making in Washington and the personal values he brings to the job. It took until the campaign’s final stages — only after two women accused Walker, an opponent of abortion rights, of encouraging and paying for their abortions — for the senator to ratchet up his attacks, arguing Walker is “unprepared” and “unfit” for the job.
“My opponent lies about everything,” Warnock said in a recent campaign stop, ticking off a litany of Walker’s repeated falsehoods and exaggerations. “He said he was a police officer. He’s not. He said he worked for the FBI. He did not. Said he graduated from the University of Georgia. He did not. Said he was valedictorian of his class. He was not. ... He said he had another business with 800 employees. It has eight.”
Walker, alternately, has relished the jousting since he won the GOP nomination in the spring.
“Herschel is a competitor. He’s very comfortable with the mano a mano,” said Scott Paradise, Walker’s campaign manager, noting the candidate’s athletic prowess as a football running back, kickboxer and Olympic bobsledder.
Indeed, Walker takes his attacks right to Warnock’s strengths as the pastor of the famous church where Martin Luther King Jr. once preached. Walker has criticized Warnock over an Atlanta apartment building, owned by a foundation of Warnock’s church, where residents have complained to The Washington Free Beacon, a conservative media outlet, of eviction notices and poor conditions.
“What he’s doing in this apartment building at Columbia Towers is not right,” Walker said recently at a suburban Atlanta campaign stop. “You shouldn’t put Jesus’ name on what you’re doing to people, and don’t put Martin Luther King name on it. ... You’re not Jesus, and you’re not Dr. King.”
Warnock, who says no residents of Columbia Tower have been evicted, incorporates Walker’s attacks into the list of the challenger’s documented exaggerations and falsehoods. “What kind of a person lies on the church?” Warnock said in Macon. “This isn’t the first time people attacked Ebenezer Baptist Church. They attacked Martin Luther King Jr. I’m in good company.”
Still, asked whether he’s reconsidered his church’s stewardship of Columbia Towers, Warnock sidestepped: “I’ve already answered the question. I’m proud of what my church does to feed and house the hungry and the homeless every single week.”
Walker also accuses Warnock of “getting rich” as a senator, a nod to the pastor’s $7,500-a-month housing allowance from the church. The payments are not a violation of Senate ethics rules that limit senators’ outside income.
On at least one occasion during the runoff, Walker has suggested Warnock is a negligent father. Warnock told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution the comment “crossed a line.” Earlier in the campaign, Walker publicly acknowledged three of his children for the first time, doing so only after The Daily Beast reported on their existence. Warnock has not mentioned those children in any of his critiques of Walker.
Walker, meanwhile, has not taken reporters' questions at an open campaign event since late October, when a second accuser came forward to say he had pressured her to have an abortion — a contradiction of his advocacy as a candidate for a national ban on all abortions. Walker has denied the women's claims.
Both candidates' former wives also loom in the campaign, though the two men avoid the topic themselves, leaving the discussion of their marriages mostly to paid advertising. In one ad, Warnock’s former wife tells Atlanta police that he ran over her foot. The Republican ad doesn’t note that a police report states that officers found no physical evidence supporting her claim. A Democratic ad features an interview with Walker’s first wife detailing that he threatened violence against her, circumstances Walker has confirmed in an autobiography.
Since the two men met for their lone debate Oct. 14, Warnock has hammered Walker for a lack of policy details and sometimes flubbing what policy he does discuss.
Warnock promotes his new federal legal provision capping insulin costs for Medicare recipients and notes Walker said diabetics could manage their health by “eating right,” a practice that isn’t enough for insulin-dependent diabetic patients.
“Maybe he ought to apply to be a dietician. I’m running for the United States Senate,” Warnock said in Macon.
He pounced when Walker declared the United States is “not ready” for climate action and should “keep having those gas-guzzling cars” that he said already have “good emissions” standards. Warnock added gleeful mockery when Walker recently introduced a tangent about vampires to a campaign speech.
“I mean, who says that kind of stuff?” Warnock asked supporters.
Paradise, Walker’s campaign manager, insisted the Republicans’ best argument remains Warnock's alignment with Democrats on economic policy. Still, he acknowledges the campaign’s tone has darkened.
“We’re certainly going to continue to aggressively prosecute the case against Warnock,” he said, “and I suspect they’ll do the same.”

MONTREAL (AP) — Pedro Meraz says living in Colima, Mexico, was like living in a war zone, with shootings, burning cars and dismembered bodies being left outside of schools.
When his wife Rocio Gonzalez, a 28-year-old lawyer who worked with abused women, began receiving death threats from a cartel and the local authorities ignored her pleas for assistance, they knew they had to leave.
“They knew where we lived and what car we drove,” said Meraz, 41, who taught at The University of Colima, near the Pacific Coast and about 300 miles (485 kilometers) west of Mexico City. “Feeling that you are going to lose your life, or one of your daughters, I don’t mind starting from scratch.”
The family is part of a surge in the number of Mexicans who have requested asylum in Canada this year. Due to the relative ease of obtaining asylum in Canada compared to the U.S., visa-free travel between Mexico and Canada, and the threat of violence back home, more than 8,000 Mexican nationals have sought refugee status in 2022. That's almost five times as many as last year and more than twice as many as in 2019, the last year before the COVID-19 pandemic and the travel restrictions that accompanied it.
The vast majority of them are flying in to Montreal, which has many direct flights to and from Mexico.
Among them is Viviana Tapia Gonzalez, a human rights activist and mother of four from Aguascalientes, about 265 miles (425 kilometers) northwest of Mexico City, who said she left Mexico in January after being attacked by the military. She said her work with the families of missing and murdered women and girls made her a target.
“Death threats were constant,” she said. “I thought it was the last option I had to be safe. I work for many causes and help many people. I did not want to stop helping, but I must also protect (and) take care of myself.”
Tapia Gonzalez has been living in a Montreal women’s shelter while awaiting a decision on her asylum claim, which she fears might get rejected.
If her claim is turned down, she wouldn't be alone.
In the first nine months of 2022, the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada, an independent tribunal that investigates and decides asylum cases, finalized more than 2,700 claims by Mexican asylum seekers. Of those, 1,032 were accepted, 1,256 were rejected; and the remaining 400-plus were either abandoned, withdrawn, or had other outcomes, said Christian Tessier, an IRB spokesperson.
In Canada, claimants must meet the United Nations’ definition of a “convention refugee," meaning they are outside of their home countries and have a well-founded fear that they would be persecuted if they returned based on their race, religion, political opinions, nationality or affiliation with a social group. Otherwise, they must prove that they need protection and can’t safely return to their home countries without risking torture, cruel or unusual punishment, or death.
Despite the risk of rejection, though, the surge in Mexicans seeking refugee status in Canada persists.
The Welcome Collective, a Montreal-based charitable organization that provides essential goods to new asylum seekers, said half of the group’s current clients came from Mexico — a 300% increase compared with earlier this year.
“They had to run away because of violence and other humanitarian reasons. To find a better place for their children,” said Flavia Leiva, the group's volunteer and social outreach coordinator.
As for what is causing the increase in applicants, Leiva suggested that social media is playing a role.
“There have been YouTubers and some videos on TikTok talking about how easy it is to come to Canada,” she said.
At least one YouTube video that was published 10 months ago and made for a Mexican audience explains the Canadian immigration process in Spanish and has more than 4 million views.
It has been harder for Mexicans to seek asylum in the U.S. since the start of the pandemic. A U.S. public health rule that suspends the right to seek asylum on the grounds of preventing the spread of COVID-19 has fallen disproportionately hard on Mexicans. Title 42 authority has been used to expel migrants more than 2.4 million times since it was introduced in March 2020.
Further adding to Canada’s allure is that Mexicans haven’t needed a visa to travel to the country since the Canadian government lifted the requirement in late 2016.
Leiva also suggested that more Mexicans might be choosing to come to Canada instead of the United States because they think it’s safer.
“In the U.S., they are put in cages, the conditions are not as good,” Leiva said. “People do not feel safe or protected.”
Meraz said he and his family decided that Canada would offer them the best chance to start over.
“My wife investigated the existence of international treaties to protect people who are at risk,” he said.
He referenced Canadian policies and regulations protecting women and children in addition to the country’s comparatively low crime rate.
“The U.S. was never in our minds, since there is a lot of violence ... attacks where many innocent people die,” said Meraz. “Canada, statistically, has a very low rate of violence and its quality of life is much better than the USA.”
He said his family chose Montreal instead of some other Canadian city because of logistics, though he's having second thoughts.
“If you were to ask me right now if I would choose another place, then maybe,” said Meraz, noting that he and his family must now learn French.
Hayet Mohammed, who manages the French language program at Carrefour Solidarité Anjou, a nonprofit that helps newcomers settle in Quebec, said not only is obtaining refugee status easier in Canada, but there are plenty of resources for asylum seekers once they arrive.
“They can work as soon as they have their refugee status and are entitled to (French) courses given by the (Ministry of Immigration in Quebec) which gives them financial assistance and finally, there are many work opportunities, and they are not at risk of finding themselves unemployed,” said Mohammed.
“Being a newcomer myself with my little family, there is no other country that gives immigrants so many facilities in terms of training, work and child benefits. All these things make people leave their countries of origin and come to make their lives here, thousands of miles away from their families," she said.

BERLIN (AP) — Railway workers in Austria are set to hold a one-day strike on Monday after a failed round of talks in pay negotiations.
The Austria Press Agency reported Sunday that both sides said the fifth round of talks on pay for some 50,000 employees of about 65 railway operators, including the main national operator OeBB, had failed.
That means that there will be no regional, long-distance or night trains on Monday, and that only buses and other public transport run by municipal authorities will run.
Labor union vida has called for an extra 400 euros ($416) per month for railway employees, which it says is equivalent to an average 12% increase.
Employers have said that would amount to a 13.3% raise and is too much. OeBB said employers were offering an 8.44% increase and strongly criticized the strike.
Like many other countries, Austria has seen inflation surge this year following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The country's annual inflation rate hit 11% in October. | https://www.chron.com/news/article/Railway-workers-in-Austria-to-strike-Monday-in-17613429.php | 2022-11-27T13:10:39 | en | 0.976172 |

LONDON (AP) — Matt Hancock, the U.K’s scandal-prone former health secretary, is seeking an unlikely form of redemption Sunday: attempting to win “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here” — a grueling, often gruesome reality show set in the Australian jungle.
Hancock led Britain’s response to COVID-19 in the first year of the pandemic, telling people to stay away from others to protect the health service — then got caught breaking his government’s own rules when video emerged of him kissing and groping an aide he was having an affair with.
He was forced to resign when The Sun newspaper published the CCTV images. This time, though, he knows that camera is on, and is behaving in ways many will find even more distasteful: eating the raw nether parts of camels, cows and sheep, among other things.
Yet the British public apparently does not agree.
The show sends a group of famous people, often C-list celebrities, to the Australian rainforest, subjects them to trials involving spiders and snakes, and allows the public to vote them out one by one. While many Britons have been disgusted by Hancock's appearance, blaming him for apparent failings in the government’s early response to the pandemic, viewers have upended expectations by voting Hancock through to Sunday evening’s final.
The former health chief has already seen the back of Culture Club singer Boy George and former rugby player Mike Tindall, whose wife, Zara, is the niece of King Charles III. Tindall body tackled Hancock in another of the show’s tasks, and has been poking fun at the former health secretary's politicking.
“He clearly wants to win,” said Tindall, adding that Hancock was constantly aiming his t-shirt with voting number at the camera. “Once a politician, always a politician. Always polling for votes.”
Fellow politicians have been less enthusiastic than the show-voting public. When it was announced that Hancock would appear, he was slated by fellow lawmakers, including many from his own party, and he was suspended as a Conservative member of parliament.
His success seems to have done nothing to ease their ire. Speaking to Sky News Sunday, Cabinet minister Mark Harper said: “I don’t think serving members of Parliament should be taking part in reality television programs.
“However well they do on them, I still think they should be doing the job for which they are paid a good salary — which is representing their constituents.”
Announcing that he was going to “step up," Australian comedian Adam Hills, host of comedy current affairs show “The Last Leg," went to Hancock's constituency in eastern England last weekend and met with locals to hear their problems.
“I reckon I can do a better job in a week than he has done thus far,” Hills said on the show.
Still, a political comeback for Hancock is not out of the question. Conservative lawmaker Nadine Dorries was suspended in 2012 for appearing on the same show. Nine years later, then-Prime Minister Boris Johnson appointed her to his Cabinet. | https://www.journal-news.com/nation-world/disgraced-former-uk-minister-seeks-jungle-redemption/HFZS2OXJDJAHRD5V5LKLJRNRIE/ | 2022-11-27T13:16:52 | en | 0.985821 |
WARNER ROBINS, Ga. (AP) — Ads with the candidates' ex-wives. Cries of "liar" flying in both directions. Stories of a squalid apartment building and abortions under pressure. Questioning an opponent's independence. His intellect. His mental stability. His religious faith.
The extended Senate campaign in Georgia between the Democratic incumbent, Raphael Warnock, and his Republican challenger, football legend Herschel Walker, has grown increasingly bitter as their Dec. 6 runoff nears. With Democrats already assured a Senate majority, it's a striking contrast from two years ago, when the state's twin runoffs were mostly about which party would control the chamber in Washington.
“Herschel Walker ain’t serious,” Warnock told supporters recently in central Georgia, saying that Walker “majors in lying” and fumbles the basics of public policy. “But the election is very serious. Don’t get those two things confused.”
Walker casts Warnock, the senior pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church, as a “hypocrite” and servile to President Joe Biden. Underscoring the insult, Walker calls the incumbent “Scooby-Doo,” complete with an impression of the cartoon hound’s gibberish.
The broadsides reflect the candidates' furious push in the four weeks between the Nov. 8 general election and runoff to persuade their core supporters to cast another ballot. For Walker, it also means drawing more independents and moderates to his campaign after he underperformed a fellow Republican on the ticket, Gov. Brian Kemp, by 200,000 votes.
Warnock led Walker by 37,000 votes out of almost 4 million cast in the first round, but the senator fell short of the 50% threshold needed to avoid a runoff.
In many ways, the shift from his first runoff campaign is exactly what Warnock wanted: a straightforward choice between two candidates. Two years ago, then-President Donald Trump, fresh off his defeat, and Biden, then president-elect, made multiple Georgia trips to illuminate the national stakes of the races between Warnock and Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler and between Democrat Jon Ossoff and Republican Sen. David Perdue as control of the Senate hung in the balance.
Trump ended up alienating his own supporters and many moderates with his false claims of a rigged 2020 presidential election. Victories by Warnock and Ossoff put the Senate at a 50-50 split, with Democrats gaining control by virtue of Vice President Kamala Harris' tiebreaking vote. Warnock also became Georgia's first Black senator.
This year, with Warnock vying for a full six-year term after winning the 2021 special election, Democrats have already guaranteed control of the Senate by flipping a seat in Pennsylvania. A Warnock win would give Democrats an outright majority at 51-49, meaning that the parties would not have to negotiate a power-sharing agreement.
Warnock’s preferred emphasis for most of his reelection bid has been his deal-making in Washington and the personal values he brings to the job. It took until the campaign’s final stages — only after two women accused Walker, an opponent of abortion rights, of encouraging and paying for their abortions — for the senator to ratchet up his attacks, arguing Walker is “unprepared” and “unfit” for the job.
“My opponent lies about everything,” Warnock said in a recent campaign stop, ticking off a litany of Walker’s repeated falsehoods and exaggerations. “He said he was a police officer. He’s not. He said he worked for the FBI. He did not. Said he graduated from the University of Georgia. He did not. Said he was valedictorian of his class. He was not. ... He said he had another business with 800 employees. It has eight.”
Walker, alternately, has relished the jousting since he won the GOP nomination in the spring.
“Herschel is a competitor. He’s very comfortable with the mano a mano,” said Scott Paradise, Walker’s campaign manager, noting the candidate’s athletic prowess as a football running back, kickboxer and Olympic bobsledder.
Indeed, Walker takes his attacks right to Warnock’s strengths as the pastor of the famous church where Martin Luther King Jr. once preached. Walker has criticized Warnock over an Atlanta apartment building, owned by a foundation of Warnock’s church, where residents have complained to The Washington Free Beacon, a conservative media outlet, of eviction notices and poor conditions.
“What he’s doing in this apartment building at Columbia Towers is not right,” Walker said recently at a suburban Atlanta campaign stop. “You shouldn’t put Jesus’ name on what you’re doing to people, and don’t put Martin Luther King name on it. ... You’re not Jesus, and you’re not Dr. King.”
Warnock, who says no residents of Columbia Tower have been evicted, incorporates Walker's attacks into the list of the challenger's documented exaggerations and falsehoods. "What kind of a person lies on the church?" Warnock said in Macon. "This isn't the first time people attacked Ebenezer Baptist Church. They attacked Martin Luther King Jr. I'm in good company."
Still, asked whether he’s reconsidered his church’s stewardship of Columbia Towers, Warnock sidestepped: “I’ve already answered the question. I’m proud of what my church does to feed and house the hungry and the homeless every single week.”
Walker also accuses Warnock of “getting rich” as a senator, a nod to the pastor’s $7,500-a-month housing allowance from the church. The payments are not a violation of Senate ethics rules that limit senators’ outside income.
On at least one occasion during the runoff, Walker has suggested Warnock is a negligent father. Warnock told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution the comment "crossed a line." Earlier in the campaign, Walker publicly acknowledged three of his children for the first time, doing so only after The Daily Beast reported on their existence. Warnock has not mentioned those children in any of his critiques of Walker.
Walker, meanwhile, has not taken reporters' questions at an open campaign event since late October, when a second accuser came forward to say he had pressured her to have an abortion — a contradiction of his advocacy as a candidate for a national ban on all abortions. Walker has denied the women's claims.
Both candidates' former wives also loom in the campaign, though the two men avoid the topic themselves, leaving the discussion of their marriages mostly to paid advertising. In one ad, Warnock’s former wife tells Atlanta police that he ran over her foot. The Republican ad doesn’t note that a police report states that officers found no physical evidence supporting her claim. A Democratic ad features an interview with Walker’s first wife detailing that he threatened violence against her, circumstances Walker has confirmed in an autobiography.
Since the two men met for their lone debate Oct. 14, Warnock has hammered Walker for a lack of policy details and sometimes flubbing what policy he does discuss.
Warnock promotes his new federal legal provision capping insulin costs for Medicare recipients and notes Walker said diabetics could manage their health by “eating right,” a practice that isn’t enough for insulin-dependent diabetic patients.
“Maybe he ought to apply to be a dietician. I’m running for the United States Senate,” Warnock said in Macon.
He pounced when Walker declared the United States is “not ready” for climate action and should “keep having those gas-guzzling cars” that he said already have “good emissions” standards. Warnock added gleeful mockery when Walker recently introduced a tangent about vampires to a campaign speech.
“I mean, who says that kind of stuff?” Warnock asked supporters.
Paradise, Walker’s campaign manager, insisted the Republicans’ best argument remains Warnock's alignment with Democrats on economic policy. Still, he acknowledges the campaign’s tone has darkened.
“We’re certainly going to continue to aggressively prosecute the case against Warnock,” he said, “and I suspect they’ll do the same.”

China to repay more depositors to defuse rural bank scandal
Chinese regulators took fresh steps on Thursday to defuse anger over a banking fraud that has sparked high-profile protests, by announcing a second round of repayments to depositors whose funds were frozen in two provinces. Some deposits at four rural lenders in central Henan province and one in eastern Anhui province were frozen in what authorities said was a complex scam involving a private financial group with stakes in the lenders that had faked data by colluding with bank staff and siphoning off funds illegally.
Chinese regulators took fresh steps on Thursday to defuse anger over a banking fraud that has sparked high-profile protests, by announcing a second round of repayments to depositors whose funds were frozen in two provinces.
Some deposits at four rural lenders in central Henan province and one in eastern Anhui province were frozen in what authorities said was a complex scam involving a private financial group with stakes in the lenders that had faked data by colluding with bank staff and siphoning off funds illegally. The scandal has triggered widespread protests from outraged depositors since April and cast a harsh spotlight on the 4,000 small and medium-sized banks sprinkled across the country.
In their bid to shore up confidence among depositors, Henan and Anhui provinces started making repayments to smaller depositors on July 15, following investigations by authorities and arrests of suspects. On Thursday, financial authorities in Henan said they would commence the second round of repayments to clients on behalf of the four rural banks there from July 25.
Individuals with deposits of up to 100,000 yuan ($14,787) will be repaid, the Henan branch of the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission (CBIRC) and the provincial financial bureau said in a joint statement. Authorities in Anhui's Bengbu city made a similar statement, saying it will start repaying clients at a bank there with deposits of 50,000-100,000 yuan.
In addition to the rural bank scandal, the Chinese government is also grappling with a growing mortgage payment boycott across the country in a political sensitive year for Beijing. Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to secure a third leadership term at a once-in-five-years Communist Party congress later this year.
The CBIRC said over the weekend that authorities' decision to repay depositors in Henan and Anhui came after three months of "arduous" probes into the fraud case, denying that the move was due to the protests. The regulator said local and central governments are actively working to dispose of risks and would protect the legal interests of depositors. ($1 = 6.7629 Chinese yuan renminbi)

The National Capital Region (NCR) is likely to witness traffic snarls and route diversions on Thursday due to protests by the Congress, the ongoing Kanwar Yatra and waterlogging at various places.
Travellers to and from Noida and Ghaziabad could be most affected. Traffic will also be hit in parts of central Delhi as Congress president Sonia Gandhi is set to appear before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for questioning in a money-laundering probe related to the National Herald-Associated Journals Limited case, police said.
A senior police officer said special traffic arrangements have been made and a traffic advisory has also been issued regarding the roads closed. Adequate traffic personnel will be deployed to assist the commuters.
In a series of tweets, the Delhi Traffic Police posted information about the routes to be avoided even as it mentioned that necessary arrangements have been made as a precautionary measure.
''Kindly avoid Motilal Nehru Marg, Akbar Road, Janpath and Man Singh Road between 0900 hrs and 1400 hrs on 21.07.22. Due to special arrangements, traffic movement will not be possible on these roads,'' it said in one of the tweets. The inward movement of buses will be restricted in New Delhi beyond the Gol Dak Khana junction, Patel Chowk, Windsor Place, Teen Murti Chowk and Prithviraj Road, it said in another tweet.
''Kindly avoid Gol Methi junction, Tughlak Road Junction, Claridges Junction, Q-point Junction, Sunehri Masjid Junction, Maulana Azad Road Junction and Man Singh Road Junction between 0900 hrs and 1400 hrs on 21.07.22. Due to special arrangements, there will be heavy traffic movement on these roads,'' the traffic police said.
The Congress has announced that it will stage protests across the country on Thursday against Sonia Gandhi's questioning by the ED.
Similar protests were held when Sonia Gandhi's son and former Congress president Rahul Gandhi was quizzed by the federal probe agency in connection with the case last month.
Sources said the Congress may also stage a protest along with the leaders of other opposition parties inside the Parliament complex. The Congress members may also stage a stir inside both houses of Parliament.

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has assured the Consul General of Japan in Mumbai Fukahori Yasukata of fast-tracking infrastructure projects like a bullet train, funded by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
Fadnavis gave the assurance on Wednesday during a meeting with Yasukata and other Japanese officials.
The bullet train project is aimed at running the train between Ahmedabad and Mumbai on a high-speed rail corridor at a speed of 320 kmph, covering a distance of 508 km and 12 stations. The train is expected to reduce the travel time between the two cities to about three hours from the current six hours.
Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw last month said they are confident of achieving the target of running the country's first bullet train between Surat and Bilimora (in Navsari district) in Gujarat in 2026 as good progress has been made in this direction.
Apart from the high-speed rail project (bullet train), which will connect Mumbai and Gujarat's commercial hub of Ahmedabad, the JICA funding is also coming for the Mumbai Metro-3 line and the Mumbai Trans-Harbour Link (MTHL) projects.
MTHL, once completed, will be the longest sea bridge in the country with a length of 21.8 km.
Besides Yasukata, Deputy of the Mission Kaneko Toshilhiro and other senior Japanese officials were also present at the meeting.
Fadnavis, in a social media post, said, ''We discussed JICA-funded projects like Bullet Train, MTHL and Metro-3 line. I assured them that this government is committed to fast-tracking all these projects and ensuring timely completion.''

In what many fans say was a ‘not-so’ surprising elimination on the latest episode of the ITV2 hit series, Love Island, Summer and Billy were chosen as the two Islanders to be sent home, whereas Danica and Dami survived the torture of being among the bottom four.
While Danica rejoiced in her staying, after her whirlwind journey of finding love in the villa, Dami on the other hand believed he was in the bottom because of his ‘fat booty’.
In light of Dami’s response, many viewers headed to Twitter to share their opinions on both Dami and fellow contestant Luca remaining in the villa- mainly due to their highly criticised behaviour.

One user tweeted: “The dumpings are not even interesting anymore #LoveIsland”. A second user added: “So Dami you having three way kisses, egging other boys on, kissing summer AGAIN Infront of Indiyah wasn't embarrassing her? #LoveIsland”
Another wrote: “Nah Icl Dami has had his time in the bottom I would pay big money for Luca to be in the bottom 2 #LoveIsland” while a fifth concurred by tweeting: “Lets vote Tasha & Andrew” No we must stay focused and get rid of Luca and Dami.. #LoveIsland”
This comes after concerning talks facilitated by Women’s Aid after noticing that ‘specific information on abusive relationships and an understanding of controlling behaviour in relationships’ was rather ‘missing’ from ITV’s inclusion training. As a result many called for action to tackle ‘misogyny and controlling behaviour’ by the male Islanders.
In conversation with Metro, the organisation said: “At Women’s Aid we are being tagged into a stream of Twitter posts, with viewers of Love Island highlighting the misogyny and controlling behaviour being shown on screen”
ITV has responded by emphasising how ‘seriously’ the broadcaster treats ‘the emotional wellbeing’ of the islanders.
A representative for ITV said: “Ahead of this series, contributors on the show were offered video training and guidance covering inclusive language around disability, sexuality, race and ethnicity, behaviours and microaggressions.” | https://www.devonlive.com/news/celebs-tv/love-island-viewers-planning-luca-7360463 | 2022-07-21T05:10:39 | en | 0.963327 |

NITI Aayog offers roadmap for licensing, regulation for digital banks
Government think tank NITI Aayog has made a case and offered a template and roadmap for a licensing and regulatory regime for digital banks that focuses on avoiding any regulatory or policy arbitrage and offers a level playing field to incumbents as well as competitors.
- Country:

Government think tank NITI Aayog has made a case and offered a template and roadmap for a licensing and regulatory regime for digital banks that focuses on avoiding any regulatory or policy arbitrage and offers a level playing field to incumbents as well as competitors. In a report titled 'Digital Banks - A Proposal for Licensing and Regulatory Regime for India, the think tank recommended the issuance of a restricted digital bank license to such financial entities. It mooted for a 'full-scale' digital bank license.
The methodology for the licensing and regulatory template offered by the report is based on four factors such as entry barriers; competition; business restrictions; and technological neutrality. Taking forward the agenda of fintech innovations, and marking 75 years of India's independence, the government in its Budget for 200-23 proposed to set up 75 digital banking units in 75 districts of the country by scheduled commercial banks.
The report also maps prevalent business models in this domain. It highlights the challenges presented by the 'partnership model' of neo-banking--which has emerged in India due to a regulatory vacuum and in the absence of a digital bank license. Given the need for leveraging technology effectively to cater to the needs of banking in India, this report studies the prevailing gaps, the niches that remain underserved, and the global regulatory best practices in licensing digital banks, said CEO Parameswaran Iyer while releasing the report.
In recent years, India has made rapid strides in furthering financial inclusion catalyzed by the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana for the unversed. However, credit penetration remains a policy challenge, especially for the nation's MSMEs that contribute 30 per cent to GDP, 45 per cent to manufacturing output, and 40 per cent to exports, while creating employment for a significant section of the population. Financial inclusion has only been furthered by the Unified Payments Interface (UPI), which has witnessed extraordinary adoption. UPI recorded over 4.2 billion transactions worth Rs 7.7 trillion in October 2021.
The NITI Aayog report has been prepared based on inter-ministerial consultations. Last year, NITI Aayog released a discussion paper on the subject for wider stakeholder consultations. Comments received from 24 organizations were examined and suitably addressed in the final report. (ANI)

Goa to soon provide co-working spaces to visitors on beaches
We want such people who would opt to work from home to come here and work from these co-working spaces and also help us in the IT ecosystem, he said.Speaking during the demands for grants for the IT department, Khaunte said Goa needs to be developed on lines of the T-Hub.T-Hub is an innovation intermediary and business incubator based in Hyderabad, Telangana.

Professionals visiting Goa will soon be able to work while enjoying the picturesque shoreline as the state government has come up with a concept of co-working spaces on the beaches.
The Goa government is going to promote the ''culture of #WorkationGoa'' through co-working spaces to be created on the beaches, state Tourism and Information and Technology (IT) Minister Rohan Khaunte said in the Legislative Assembly on Wednesday night.
In the initial phase, Benaulim beach in South Goa district and Morjim and Miramar beaches in North Goa district have been identified for setting up such co-working spaces, he said.
“A person can work, go and surf on the beach and come back, take a shower and resume work through these co-working spaces on the beaches,” the minister said.
Many companies were giving their employees the liberty to work from home, he noted. “We want such people who would opt to work from home to come here and work from these co-working spaces and also help us in the IT ecosystem,” he said.
Speaking during the demands for grants for the IT department, Khaunte said Goa needs to be developed on lines of the T-Hub.
T-Hub is an innovation intermediary and business incubator based in Hyderabad, Telangana. Based on the triple helix model of innovation, it is a partnership between the Government of Telangana, three academic institutes in Hyderabad and the private sector.
''We need spaces to develop Goa like the T-Hub. We have already started advertising to seek spaces to create co-working spots. Today, we are ready with the database,” the minister said.
He further said Goa needs to create skilled manpower required for the IT industry. “The existing manpower is already absorbed by the industry. We need to provide skills to the new manpower and upskill and reskill the existing manpower,” he said.
The Goa government is going to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Telangana Academy for Skill and Knowledge (TASK) for the purpose.
Khaunte also said the tourism department was planning to set up model beach shacks, having modern facilities including Wi-Fi for customers, on four stretches spread across North and South Goa districts.
“These shacks would be set up at Colva, Benaulim and Baina beaches in South Goa and Calangute-Baga belt in North Goa,” he said while responding to the demands for grants for the tourism department.
The shacks will have “plug and play” facility wherein they would have to just connect to the sewerage and other infrastructure facilities which would be provided by the government, he added.

A special one-day event was organised on Thursday in the Gujarat Assembly where students will play the roles of speaker, chief minister, leader of opposition and ministers in the House.
The aim of the 'Youth Model Assembly' is to make the younger generation aware of various parliamentary, legislative procedures and to instil leadership qualities in them, Assembly Speaker Nimaben Acharya told reporters.
Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel inaugurated the special event in the state Assembly in Gandhinagar on Thursday morning.
For the mock session, 182 school and college-going students, equivalent to the number of seats in the Gujarat Assembly, were selected from across the state to play the roles of speaker, CM, LoP and legislators in the House, Achayra said.
The selected students include 70 girls.
The programme is being organised under the aegis of GV Mavlankar Parliamentary Studies and Training Bureau of the state legislature and The School Post magazine, she said.
''The model Assembly will inculcate leadership qualities among the youth and also make them aware of various parliamentary and legislative procedures. We also want the children to think from the common person's perspective and how pro-people schemes are devised by the government,'' the Speaker said.
A girl has been selected to play the Speaker's role, she said.
During the session, the students will engage in debate on a bill about the establishment of a sports university and on a government resolution on climate change.
''The students will also take part in Question Hour, just like we do during the real Assembly sessions. We have also allotted time for a debate on the Budget,'' Acharya said.

Dave Chappelle's Minneapolis show dropped by venue after facing criticism
American stand-up comic Dave Chappelle's show at First Avenue in Minneapolis, Minnesota was canceled on Wednesday, just hours before he was set to perform after the club faced backlash for booking the comedian.
- Country:
- United States
American stand-up comic Dave Chappelle's show at First Avenue in Minneapolis, Minnesota was canceled on Wednesday, just hours before he was set to perform after the club faced backlash for booking the comedian. According to The Hollywood Reporter, First Avenue's Instagram account posted a statement announcing that Chappelle's performance would now take place at Varsity Theater, where the star had already been scheduled to perform two sets on both Thursday and Friday.
The club's apology referenced apparent criticism of the venue for having booked Chappelle, who has been the subject of controversy surrounding jokes about the transgender community from his Netflix special 'The Closer'. "The Dave Chappelle show tonight at First Avenue has been cancelled and is moving to the Varsity Theater," the message from First Avenue's team read.
It continued, "To staff, artists and our community, we hear you and we are sorry. We know we must hold ourselves to the highest standards, and we know we let you down. We are not just a black box with people in it, and we understand that First Ave is not just a room, but meaningful beyond our walls." The statement added, "The First Avenue team and you have worked hard to make our venues the safest spaces in the country, and we will continue with that mission. We believe in diverse voices and the freedom of artistic expression, but in honoring that, we lost sight of the impact this would have."
Varsity Theater posted a statement to Twitter confirming that it will now host Chappelle on Wednesday as well. "Attention Dave Chappelle Fans! The show scheduled for tonight at First Ave has now been moved to Varsity Theater," it read, in part, as per The Hollywood Reporter.
After announcing Chappelle's show earlier this week, First Avenue's social media was filled with comments in protest of the comedian, though TMZ reported that tickets quickly sold out. Chappelle has defended his jokes by touting artistic expression, doubling down in a recent speech at his alma mater released by Netflix. During the speech, titled 'What's in a Name?', Chappelle announced that he decided against having a theater named after him at the school, instead, he opted to call it the Theater for Artistic Freedom and Expression.

Simon McQuoid set to return as director for 'Mortal Kombat' sequel
Australian filmmaker Simon McQuoid has been tapped by New Line Cinema to return as a director for the 'Mortal Kombat' live-action sequel film.

Australian filmmaker Simon McQuoid has been tapped by New Line Cinema to return as a director for the 'Mortal Kombat' live-action sequel film. According to Variety, McQuoid, who made his feature directorial debut with the 2021 film adaptation of the beloved fighting video game series, will direct the sequel from a script penned by Jeremy Slater.
The sequel will be the fourth overall film in the 'Mortal Kombat' film franchise, after the original film in 1995 and its sequel 'Annihilation' in 1997. The 2021 film was a reboot of the film franchise, focusing on Cole Young (Lewis Tan), an original character in the franchise.
A washed-up mixed martial arts fighter, Young is suddenly hunted by the assassin Sub-Zero (Joe Taslim) and ends up dragged into the world of 'Mortal Kombat', a series of tournaments between champions of the Earthrealm and the chaotic Outworld. The film did not feature an official Mortal Kombat tournament but ended with a tease for one in the sequel. Apart from Sub-Zero, characters from the video games who were featured included Sonya Blade, Kano, Jax Briggs, Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Raiden, Shang Tsung and Scorpion.
'Mortal Kombat' premiered in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, via a simultaneous release in theaters and on HBO Max. As per Variety, the film was a modest success, opening at number one at the box office and grossing USD 84 million worldwide against a USD 55 million budget. The title was also HBO Max's most-successful film launch at the time. (ANI)
