Voter turnout in Jharkhand panchayat polls dips
- Country:
- India
Altogether 68.99 per cent of the 58.16 lakh voters exercised their franchise in the final of the four-phase panchayat elections in Jharkhand on Friday, an official said.
The average voting percentage of all the phases was 69.64 per cent, as against 73.29 per cent in the 2015 elections, the official said.
In the final phase, a total of 1,299 gram panchayats went to the polls across 23 districts to elect 8,491 panchayat members, 1,293 mukhiyas, 1,449 panchayat samiti members and 158 Zilla Parishad members.
Deoghar district has recorded the highest voter turnout at 79.55 per cent, while East Singhbhum recorded the lowest at 59.06 per cent, according to the state election commission (SEC).
''The elections in all 1,299 panchayats passed off peacefully. A total of 68.99 per cent polling was recorded in the final phase,'' said SEC secretary Radhe Shyam Prasad.
Panchayat elections in Jharkhand are not contested on party symbols.
Long queues of voters were seen in many booths in the early hours. Defying poll boycott calls by Naxals, people turned in large numbers in the Left-Wing Extremism-hit districts of the state, an official said.
Polling started at 7 am and concluded at 3 pm.
The counting of votes for the third and final phase will take place on May 31, while the counting for the first and second phases have been completed.
The earlier phases were held on May 14, 19 and 24.

UK PM Johnson faces new call to resign over 'partygate'
A Conservative lawmaker submitted a letter of no confidence in Boris Johnson on Friday and another quit a role as an assistant to Britain's interior minister, putting new pressure on the prime minister over illegal parties at his Downing Street residence during COVID-19 lockdowns. Bob Neill, the chair of parliament's justice committee, said an official report on the parties issued on Wednesday showed a pattern of "unacceptable behaviour" over months during Britain's coronavirus crisis, and said he did not find Johnson's explanations to be credible.

A Conservative lawmaker submitted a letter of no confidence in Boris Johnson on Friday and another quit a role as an assistant to Britain's interior minister, putting new pressure on the prime minister over illegal parties at his Downing Street residence during COVID-19 lockdowns.
Bob Neill, the chair of parliament's justice committee, said an official report on the parties issued on Wednesday showed a pattern of "unacceptable behaviour" over months during Britain's coronavirus crisis, and said he did not find Johnson's explanations to be credible. "Trust is the most important commodity in politics, but these events have undermined trust in not just the office of the prime minister, but in the political process itself," Neill said in a statement. "To rebuild that trust and move on, a change in leadership is required."
Johnson said after the report was issued that he took responsibility for the events but refused to quit. Another Conservative lawmaker, Paul Holmes, said earlier on Friday he was resigning from his government role as parliamentary private secretary at the Home Office to focus on representing his constituents.
"It is clear to me that a deep mistrust in both the government and the Conservative Party has been created by these events ... It is distressing to me that this work on your behalf has been tarnished by the toxic culture that seemed to have permeated Number 10," Holmes said in a statement. Other Conservative lawmakers this week have said they had submitted letters calling for a confidence vote in Johnson to the chairman of the party's 1922 Committee - which would be triggered if 54 such letters are written.
The letters are confidential, so only the chairman of the 1922 Committee knows how many have actually been submitted. However, Holmes confirmed to Reuters he had not written a letter to call for Johnson to resign.

Beijing says 'smear campaign' as US terms China 'most serious challenge to international order'
China on Friday dismissed US' description of Beijing being the ''most serious long-term challenge to the international order'', terming it as a ''classic piece of disinformation and a smear campaign''.
Addressing an audience at US-based George Washington University on Thursday, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said China is the only country with both the intent to reshape the international order and, increasingly, the economic, diplomatic, military, and technological power to do it.
He called China ''the most serious long-term challenge to the international order'', and the US, while stepping up competition with “invest, align, compete'' strategy, will, however, avoid conflict or new Cold War with the Communist country.
China sharply hit back at Blinken, terming his observations as a “classic piece of disinformation and a smear campaign”.
“This speech of Secretary Blinken is a voluminous one. He went to great lengths to spread disinformation, play up the so-called 'China threat', interfere in China’s internal affairs and smear China’s domestic and foreign policy,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said.
“The sole purpose is to contain and suppress China’s development and maintain the US hegemony. China deplores and rejects this,” he said.
Wang said international rules and order have been clearly defined and China has always maintained that all countries should firmly uphold the international system with the UN at its core.
In his speech spanning over 40 minutes, Blinken outlined his administration’s strategy towards China which included building up a “network of allies and partners, acting with a common purpose and in common cause” and referred to Washington’s efforts to build close ties with India as well as the recent Quad meeting in Tokyo.
''And we’re standing up new coalitions to deliver for our people and meet the tests of the century ahead. Nowhere is this more true than in the Indo-Pacific region, where our relationships, including our treaty alliances, are among our strongest in the world,” he said.
Wang also hit out at Quad -- comprising India, Japan, the US and Australia; and AUKUS -- a trilateral security pact between Australia, the UK and the US.
Creating “small cliques” is reversing the course of history. Forging “small blocs” is against the trend of history. The US created the so-called “Indo-Pacific strategy” to rope in regional countries to contain China, and claims to “shape the strategic environment around Beijing”, he said.
''This move to gang up on China will get no support and is doomed to fail,” Wang warned.
Blinken has also repeatedly stressed that the US does not seek to stymie China as a world power or change its political system, nor does it seek a clash with it.
''We are not looking for conflict or a new Cold War. To the contrary, we're determined to avoid both,'' Blinken said.
He said the US is ready to strengthen diplomacy and increase communication with China ''across a full range of issues'' and is prepared to work together on matters of mutual interest like climate change and Covid-19, noting that ''even as we invest, align and compete, or together with Beijing, where our interests come together''.
''We can't let the disagreements that divide us stop us from moving forward on the priorities that demand that we work together for the good of our people and for the good of the world,'' Blinken said.
In his response, Wang said China has noted Blinken's statement that the US is not looking for conflict or a new Cold War with China; it doesn’t seek to block China from its role as a major power, nor to stop China from growing its economy; and it wants to coexist peacefully with China.
''We are watching what the US will do,” he said.
In his speech, Blinken said President Joe Biden during his trip to the region, reaffirmed US' vital security alliances with South Korea and Japan, and deepened its economic and technology cooperation with both the countries.
Biden launched the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF) for prosperity, a first-of-its-kind initiative for the region. “It will, in the President’s words, 'help all our countries’ economies grow faster and fairer,” Blinken said.
''IPEF, as we call it, renews American economic leadership but adapts it for the 21st century by addressing cutting-edge issues like the digital economy, supply chains, clean energy, infrastructure, and corruption,” he said.
A dozen countries, including India, have already joined. Together, IPEF members make up more than a third of the global economy, Blinken said.
“The president also took part in the leaders’ summit of the Quad countries...It is becoming a leading regional team. This week, it launched a new Indo-Pacific Partnership for Maritime Domain Awareness, so our partners across the region can better monitor the waters near their shores to address illegal fishing and protect their maritime rights and their sovereignty,” he said.
“We’re enhancing peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific; for example, with the new security partnership between Australia, the UK and the US, known as AUKUS,” Blinken said.
The Biden administration's approach will be ''invest, align, compete'', he said, adding that although the US does not seek conflict with China, it is prepared to defend its interests.
Blinken sought to underscore the degree to which the Washington-Beijing relationship is ''one of the most complex and consequential relationships of any that we have in the world today''.
As he broadly described how the US intends to approach that relationship, Blinken drew sharp distinctions between the two nations, describing things like China's ''repressive'' government, unfair trade practices and human rights abuses.

The National Education Policy (NEP) - 2020, among other things, stresses on re-discovering the pride of India's past, including its knowledge system and the spirit to support this revolutionary transformation, Tamil Nadu Governor R N Ravi said on Friday.
The policy, he said, is comprehensive, and exhaustive and addresses linguistic diversity as the strength in the inclusive development of the nation. He was speaking at the inaugural of two-day conference of Central University Vice-Chancellors, on “Devising Action Plan for Faster and Smoother Implementation of NEP 2020” at Central University of Tamil Nadu, Tiruvarur, 318 km from here.
The Governor said the NEP ensured better scope for “Bharathiya knowledge system,” and expressed confidence that this conclave would come up with the needed action plan for implementing the NEP.
Also, Ravi urged scholars to carry out indepth research on the pre-colonial glory of India and re-establish the lost links of the Bharathiya knowledge system.
“Nation is celebrating Azadi-Ka-Amrit Mahotsav, 75 years of India’s Independence. The country is marching ahead with unprecedented self-confidence and determination,” he said. The next quarter century of “Amrit Kaal” is a crucial phase for the nation, Ravi said.
“By 2047, when the country celebrates 100 years of Independence, India has to be the world leader. The NEP 2020 lays down the way forward to this goal,” the Governor emphasised. He stressed that 2014 has been a watershed in post-British, India’s journey to its destiny. “Under the dynamic and visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji, there is a fundamental change in the way to look at the country and at its problems,” he said.

Congress condemns BJP president Bandi Sanjay's remarks against Muslims
Accusing Telangana BJP President Bandi Sanjay of delivering a 'highly objectionable and provocative' speech against the Muslim community, the Congress party on Thursday demanded stern action against him.
- Country:
- India
Accusing Telangana BJP President Bandi Sanjay of delivering a 'highly objectionable and provocative' speech against the Muslim community, the Congress party on Thursday demanded stern action against him. While addressing the reporters, Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) Minorities Department Chairman Shaik Abdullah Sohail said, "Bandi Sanjay delivered a hate speech in Karimnagar with the sole intention to provoke the minority community and spread communal hatred. Although people like Sanjay, who have zero IQ level and no knowledge of history and geography, should be ignored, his remarks cannot be taken lightly as he is desperately trying to incite communal violence."
He also announced that the Chairman of Congress Minority Departments in all 33 districts of Telangana has been asked to lodge a formal complaint against Bandi Sanjay in their respective districts.Abdullah Sohail said that the Telangana BJP Chief knows nothing about Islam or Muslims in Telangana. Initially, he targeted 4 per cent Muslim reservations and then the Urdu language. Now he is targeting the mosques by demanding the digging up of all masjids. "His hatred for Muslims has reached a different level although it is aimed at deriving political benefits. He is making desperate attempts to draw the people's attention by making highly provocative comments," he said.The Congress leader alleged that the Telangana police should've registered a case 'suo motto' against Bandi Sanjay for his hate speech. However, since TRS is a secret ally of the BJP, the State Police is acting as a mute spectator and taking no action. He further alleged that the Congress party would never allow the joint plan of BJP and TRS to disturb communal harmony to succeed. "We will launch a formal complaint against Bandi Sanjay. If the police refuse to register a case, we will approach the court seeking action," he said.Abdullah Sohail also ridiculed Bandi Sanjay's allegations that mosques were built on 'shivams. He said no mosque could be built on temple land or even encroached land. Therefore, Bandi Sanjay's allegations were nothing but the figment of his weird imaginations. "By repeatedly taking the name of AIMIM President Asaduddin Owaisi in his speeches, Sanjay is trying to endorse Owaisi as the sole Muslim leader. MIM is a non-entity outside the Old City of Hyderabad. Further, there is not a single seat in Hyderabad where MIM and BJP are direct competitors. The BJP leader is taking MIM's name only to create a false impression that Owaisi was his main rival. This is a gameplan hatched by the TRS-BJP-MIM trio to divert people's attention from the real problems like unemployment and rising inflation," he alleged.The Congress leader advised people belonging to all communities not to get provoked by the misleading statements of Bandi Sanjay or Asaduddin Owaisi. He said both the leaders, under the directions of Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao, were trying to incite communal hatred by indulging in a fake war of words. He said people should question BJP, TRS and MIM leaders about their failure to provide employment and control rising inflation.
Zaheer Lallani speaking to ANI stated, " it's very shameful with what right is Bandi Sanjay had told that if they form the government they will dig the Mosque and if the shivling is found masjid will be demolished, Urdu Language will be removed." Lallani questioned, " If Bandi Sanjay wants to incite violence between people, your slogan is Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas in the election. What sort of development is this, to make people fight against each other. So in Telangana Bandi Sanjay's dream will not come true. There is no guarantee that Bandi Sanjay will win in the coming elections. As you are hurting religious sentiments the Congress party will file cases against you in every district of Telangana state. Bandi Sanjay should apologise for the comments." (ANI)

India was and is an important stakeholder in Afghanistan, National Security Adviser Ajit Doval said on Friday and called for enhancing the capability of the war-torn country to counter terrorism and terrorist groups which pose a threat to regional peace and security.
Speaking at the 4th Regional Security Dialogue on Afghanistan in Tajikistan’s capital Dushanbe, Doval said that India has historical and civilisational relations with Afghanistan and New Delhi has always stood by the people of Afghanistan and it will continue to guide India’s approach.
''The special relationship with the people of Afghanistan over centuries will guide India’s approach. Nothing can change this,'' Doval told the meeting which was attended by his counterparts from Tajikistan, Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Iran, Kyrgyzstan and China.
While discussing the situation in the war-torn country and the region with his regional counterparts here, Doval emphasised that India was and is an important stakeholder in Afghanistan.
Doval's remarks assumes importance as Pakistan, which views Afghanistan as its protectorate, has been maintaining that India has no role to play in the war-torn nation. Pakistan did not attend the last edition of the meeting hosted by India in November 2021. The top security officials, who discussed the situation in Afghanistan and the region, highlighted the need to find constructive ways to ensure peace and stability in Afghanistan and combating risks from terrorism emanating from the region, sources said.
''There is a need for all present at the Dialogue to enhance capability of Afghanistan to counter terrorism and terrorist groups which pose a threat to regional peace and security,'' Doval said.
He said the foremost priority should be the right to life and a dignified living as well as protection of human rights of all the people in Afghanistan.
''Assistance should be accessible to all, respect for all obligations under international humanitarian law should be ensured,” he added.
India has focused on infrastructure, connectivity and humanitarian assistance in Afghanistan over the decades.
After August 2021, India has already provided 17000 MT of wheat out of a total commitment of 50000 MT, 500000 doses of Covaxin, 13 tonnes of essential life saving medicines and winter clothing as well as 60 million doses of polio vaccine.
Doval also highlighted the need for representation of all sections of Afghan society including women and minorities so that the collective energies of the largest possible proportion of the Afghan population feel motivated to contribute to nation building.
''Women and youth are critical for the future of any society. Provision of education to girls and employment to women and youth will ensure productivity and spur growth. It will also have a positive social impact including discouraging radical ideologies among youth,” he said.
''With collective efforts of Regional Dialogue members, we can help proud people of Afghanistan to build a prosperous and vibrant nation once again,” he said.
Doval also met his counterparts from Iran, Tajikistan, Russia and other partners in the Dialogue on the sidelines of the meeting.
The dialogue is aimed at firming up a common approach for practical cooperation in confronting increasing threats of terrorism, radicalisation and drug trafficking following the Taliban's takeover of Kabul in August last.
India had hosted the dialogue in November 2021 in New Delhi which was attended by eight nations including Iran and Russia.

Day after angry tweet, Rajasthan minster meets CM Gehlot, says 'Cong family united for 2023'
A day after expressing anguish over the conduct of Chief Minister Ashok Gehlots principal secretary and asking to be freed of his ministerial responsibilities, Rajasthan Sports Minister Ashok Chandna met the senior Congress leader here Friday and asserted everything was okay within the party.

A day after expressing anguish over the conduct of Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot's principal secretary and asking to be freed of his ministerial responsibilities, Rajasthan Sports Minister Ashok Chandna met the senior Congress leader here Friday and asserted everything was okay within the party. The Congress family is united for 2023 state polls, Chandna said in a tweet after the meeting with the chief minister this evening.
''There was a long and meaningful discussion on all the subjects with the Honorable Chief Minister. He is the guardian of the Rajasthan Congress family,'' Chandana tweeted, adding whatever decisions the CM takes will be right. He said the BJP should take care of its own house. ''The Congress family is united and in mobilisation for #Mission2023,'' he tweeted in Hindi, referring to the state assembly polls due next year. On Thursday, Chandna had made his displeasure against Gehlot's Principal Secretary Kuldeep Ranka public through a tweet, referring to him as the ''minister of all the departments'', and saying he did not want to hold on to the ''dishonourable'' ministerial post. Earlier in the day, Gehlot said Chandna's this tweet should not be taken seriously as it might have come under the pressure of heavy workload. ''He is under huge workload. Maybe he came under tension and made some comments. It should not be taken seriously...will talk to him,'' Gehlot told reporters in the morning.
''He seems to be working under pressure, such a big responsibility has come on him, will see,'' Gehlot said. Gehlot also said Chandna had organised a state-level sports programme earlier and in the same way, a similar event -- Rural Olympics -- is going to be held for the first time in Rajasthan in which 30 lakh people are likely to participate.
The Congress backed Gehlot on his views over the minister's tweet.
Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera in Delhi said CM Ashok Gehlot has given a reply and has said that the minister has a lot of departments with him and he may have tweeted out of tension due to the workload.
''Our governments work and those who work have tension. We have never seen our prime minister in tension and he is always seen smiling. You can see one who does not work does not have tension, even when petrol rates are going sky high,'' Khera told reporters when asked about the minister's remarks.

Uttarakhand govt constitutes panel to implement Uniform Civil Code
- Country:
- India
Keeping a pre-poll promise, the Uttarakhand government on Friday constituted a panel of experts headed by a retired Supreme Court judge to implement a Uniform Civil Code for the state.
The panel is headed by retired Supreme Court judge Ranjana Prakash Desai, Chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami said in a Facebook post.
''This is to impart uniformity to all religious communities and to conserve the culture of Devbhoomi,'' he said. ''In accordance with a commitment made in our vision document at the time of Uttarakhand assembly polls, an expert committee headed by honourable Supreme Court Justice Ranjana Prakash Desai has been constituted,'' he said in the post.
In the last leg of campaigning for the state assembly polls held in February, Dhami had said that an expert panel to implement the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) would be set up soon after the BJP is re-elected to power.
Keeping his commitment, the proposal for setting up a committee for drafting Uniform Civil Code was cleared at the very first meeting of the state cabinet chaired by Dhami.
Once implemented, Uttarakhand will be the second state after Goa in the country to implement it, Dhami said.
Dhami is of the view that the rest of the states in the country should also follow the examples of Goa and Uttarakhand.
According to a government notification issued late Friday night, apart from retired justice Desai who is the chairperson of the committee on UCC, the panel will also include retired justice Pramod Kohli, social worker Manu Gaur, retired IAS officer Shatrughna Singh and the chancellor of Doon University Surekha Dangwal as members.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A suspected serial killer is now facing charges in another Kansas City-area homicide.
Perez Reed, who is from St. Louis, has been charged in the November 2021 deadly shooting of Stephon Johnson, who was found dead in a Midtown Kansas City apartment, prosecutors say.
The 26-year-old has been charged with first-degree murder, armed criminal action and two counts of fraudulent use of a credit/debit device.
Court records say Johnson’s family filed missing person reports saying they hadn’t spoken to him since Nov. 1, 2021. When officers went to his apartment at Brush Creek Towers, they found Johnson’s body inside a closet, court documents say. Officials determined he had suffered a gunshot to the back of the head.
Officers also collected an empty cigarillo package, court records say, and a DNA test from that package later traced back to Reed’s DNA.
Reed was arrested on Nov. 8, 2021, by an FBI task force in Independence for warrants out of St. Louis County. Officials found a key in Reed’s possession at that time, and prosecutors say it fit a deadbolt lock on Johnson’s apartment.
Witnesses also told police the “serial killer” from St. Louis they saw on the news was the same man with a crescent tattoo who had been a guest of Johnson.
Court records also say the bullet found inside Johnson’s apartment came from the same firearm found in Reed’s possession when he was arrested.
Other charges
Reed is already in custody in St. Louis. He has now been charged in seven homicides across Kansas and Missouri, including this Kansas City case.

Maha RS polls: MVA govt, NCP cornered, misled Sambhaji, says Fadnavis
Still, he misled Sambhajiraje and ensured there would be more confusion. Despite knowing that the Sena would field two candidates and that the NCP would have to support its MVA ally, Pawar had said if Sambhaji contests as an Independent, then NCPs additional votes would go to him, Fadnavis further alleged.
- Country:
- India
Senior BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis on Friday said the MVA government and NCP chief Sharad Pawar misled and cornered Sambhaji Chhatrapati in the run up to the polls for six Rajya Sabha seats from Maharashtra.
Sambhaji Chhatrapati, a descendant of Shivaji Maharaj and prominent Maratha leader, who had announced that he would contest the RS polls as an Independent, had, earlier in the day, said he was pulling out after failing to garner support for his re-election bid.
''The way MVA treated Sambhajiraje Chhatrapati is highly condemnable. It seems the (state) government deliberately cornered him. When he had approached me and informed that he wished to contest as an Independent, I had made it clear that if he managed to get support across parties, I will speak to our high command (about giving extra party votes to him),'' Fadnavis said.
Lashing out at the NCP supremo, the former chief minister said, ''Pawar was aware this time his party will have to give its extra votes to Shiv Sena for the latter's second seat. Still, he misled Sambhajiraje and ensured there would be more confusion.'' Despite knowing that the Sena would field two candidates and that the NCP would have to support its MVA ally, Pawar had said if Sambhaji contests as an Independent, then NCP's additional votes would go to him, Fadnavis further alleged.

(NewsNation) — The same massive storm system that spent several days over the central states will push showers and thunderstorms from the Appalachians to the Atlantic coast Friday.
Where the downpours are heavy and persistent enough in the Appalachian Mountains, localized street and small stream flooding can occur.
The greatest chance of storms with damaging winds and isolated tornadoes will extend from eastern New York state to southern Georgia. Flood watches have been issued especially in the areas around the mountains, where runoff could overload small streams and rivers.
Clouds, showers and cool air are forecast to linger over the Ohio Valley and lower Great Lakes regions. However, warmth with dry air and sunshine will expand farther to the west over the central states. The whole area will clear out into the weekend.
As heat and dryness continue to prevail in the Southwest, a storm will push clouds, showers and cooler air from the Northwest to the northern Rockies on Monday.
The center of the country should enjoy a beautiful Memorial Day weekend, with the storm exiting the East Coast and no new weather-maker until a push of rain heads into the Pacific Northwest on Monday.

(The Hill) – President Biden is nearing a decision on student loan debt forgiveness, with the president and his team zeroing in on canceling $10,000 per borrower, with some potential caveats.
White House officials cautioned no decision has been finalized as Biden continues to weigh his options. The president is scheduled to speak at the Naval Academy’s commencement ceremony on Friday and at the University of Delaware’s ceremony on Saturday.
Multiple reports indicated Biden considered using the weekend commencement ceremonies to announce some student debt forgiveness, with The Washington Post reporting the timing was changed in the wake of a school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, that left 19 children dead. A White House official disputed that was the case, however.
“No decisions have been made yet — but as a reminder no one has been required to pay a single dime of student loans since the president took office,” said deputy press secretary Vedant Patel.
Multiple sources told The Hill in late April that Biden was looking at canceling at least $10,000 in student debt, and indications are the White House appears to have settled on that number even as they work through potential limits on who the loan cancellation would benefit.
The Washington Post reported Friday that the latest iteration of the plan called for capping the debt forgiveness to individuals who earned less than $150,000 last year, or $300,000 for married couples. It is also unclear if the cancelation would apply to all student loan debt, or just undergraduate students.
Biden in the 2020 campaign supported forgiving at least $10,000 in federal student loans per person after several other candidates made student loan forgiveness a key part of their platforms.
Since taking office, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) have repeatedly pushed Biden on the issue, insisting it would provide immediate relief to minorities and low- and middle-income families. Schumer has called for canceling up to $50,000 in student debt per borrower.
While that large of a sum has been publicly ruled out, Biden has in recent weeks made increasingly clear he is prepared to provide some student debt forgiveness.
“I am not considering $50,000 debt reduction, but I’m in the process of taking a hard look at whether or not there will be additional debt forgiveness and I’ll have an answer on that in the next couple of weeks,” Biden said on April 28, days after he reportedly told members of the Hispanic Congressional Hispanic Caucus he was open to forgiving some student loans.
The White House has yet to give an updated timeline in the month since Biden said a decision was a couple weeks out, but officials have pointed to actions that have helped student loan borrowers over the past year and a half.
Biden last month extended the pandemic moratorium on federal student loan payments and interest accrual through August. Loan payments were first paused in March 2020 early in the pandemic under then-President Trump, and the moratorium has been extended multiple times since.
The White House has repeatedly said Biden is prepared to sign legislation canceling student loan debt, but in the meantime is weighing what authority the president has to unilaterally wipe out some debt.
Conservative critics have pushed for student loan payments to resume, arguing the moratorium has cost the federal government billions of dollars and that any widespread forgiveness would benefit disproportionately wealthy Americans. A Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget study that found roughly 75% of student loan repayments come from the top 40% of earners. | https://fox4kc.com/business/biden-zeroes-in-on-plan-to-cancel-10000-in-student-loans-per-borrower/ | 2022-05-27T18:43:43 | en | 0.977895 |
Whale rescued from 'wall of death' drift net off Spain dies a week later
A 14-metre (46-foot) long humpback whale freed from entanglement in an illegal drift fishing net off the island of Mallorca has died on another Spanish beach more than 300 kilometres (190 miles) away.
- Country:
- Spain
A 14-metre (46-foot) long humpback whale freed from entanglement in an illegal drift fishing net off the island of Mallorca has died on another Spanish beach more than 300 kilometres (190 miles) away. A team of divers had freed the 30-tonne whale from its earlier plight after it was spotted by a ship about three miles (5 km) off the coast of Mallorca in the Balearic Islands east of Spain a week ago.
It swam away blasting water out of its spout but was then founded stranded on a beach in Valencia on Spain's mainland on Thursday. Specialists from the Oceanography Foundation who examined the whale said it was extremely weak and had several cuts to its dorsal fin. They decided the massive animal would not survive a return to the sea, and it died soon afterwards.
"It is horrible. This has been really depressing," said Gigi Torras, a marine biologist who took part in the original rescue. "We would have caused more injuries and made its condition worse, and it would possibly have been back on the sand the next day," Jose Luis Crespo, head of conservation at the Oceanography Foundation, said in a statement, explaining the decision not to try to return the whale to the sea.
Nicknamed "Walls of Death" because of the amount of other sea life they catch in addition to the fish they are set for, drift nets were banned by the United Nations 30 years ago. "These nets have been illegal for three decades. They do not target anything but just capture everything. I hope this opens people's eyes to the damage they are causing to the oceans," Torras, owner of the Albatros diving centre in Mallorca, told Reuters.

FALLS CHURCH, Va. (AP) — Johnny Depp’s lawyers asked a jury Friday “to give Mr. Depp his life back” by finding that his ex-wife, Amber Heard, committed libel.
Heard “ruined his life by falsely telling the world she was a survivor of domestic abuse at the hands of Mr. Depp,” lawyer Camille Vasquez told the jury in closing arguments.
Depp is hoping the six-week trial will help restore his reputation, though it has turned into a spectacle of a vicious marriage, with broadcast cameras in the courtroom capturing every twist to an increasingly rapt audience as fans weighed in on social media and lined up overnight for coveted courtroom seats.
“This case for Mr. Depp has never been about money,” said Depp lawyer Benjamin Chew. “It is about Mr. Depp’s reputation and freeing him from the prison in which he has lived for the last six years.”
Heard’s lawyer, J. Benjamin Rottenborn, said the lawsuit is not about Depp’s reputation but is part of an ongoing smear campaign Depp launched after Heard filed for divorce.
“In Mr. Depp’s world, you don’t leave Mr. Depp,” he said. “If you do, he will start a campaign of global humiliation against you.”
Depp is suing Heard for $50 million in Virginia’s Fairfax County Circuit Court over a December 2018 op-ed she wrote in The Washington Post describing herself as “a public figure representing domestic abuse.” His lawyers say he was defamed by the article even though it never mentioned his name.
Heard filed a $100 million counterclaim against Depp after his lawyer called her allegations a hoax. Though the counterclaim has received less attention at the trial, Heard lawyer Elaine Bredehoft said it provides an avenue for the jury to compensate Heard for the abuse Depp has inflicted on her by orchestrating a smear campaign against her.
“We’re asking you to finally hold this man responsible,” she told the jury. “He has never accepted responsibility for anything in his life.”
Depp says he never struck Heard and that she concocted the abuse allegations to gain an advantage in divorce proceedings. He has said he was often physically attacked by Heard.
“There is an abuser in this courtroom, but it is not Mr. Depp,” Vasquez said.
Heard testified about more than a dozen episodes of physical and sexual assault that she said Depp inflicted on her.
Vasquez, in her closing, noted that Heard had to revise her testimony about the first time she said she was struck. Heard said Depp hit her after she inadvertently laughed at one of his tattoos. Heard initially said it happened in 2013 — after a fairy-tale year of courtship and romance — but later corrected herself to say it happened in 2012, very early in their relationship.
“Now in this courtroom she has suddenly erased an entire year of magic,” Vasquez said.
Jurors have seen multiple photos of Heard with marks and bruises on her face, but some photos show only mild redness, and others show more severe bruising.
Vasquez accused Heard of doctoring the photos and said evidence that Heard has embellished some of her injuries is proof that all her claims of abuse are unfounded.
“You either believe all of it, or none of it,” she said. “Either she is a victim of ugly, horrible abuse, or she is a woman who is willing to say absolutely anything.”
In Heard’s closing, Rottenborn said the nitpicking over Heard’s evidence of abuse ignores the fact there’s overwhelming evidence on her behalf and sends a dangerous message to domestic-violence victims.
“If you didn’t take pictures, it didn’t happen,” Rottenborn said. “If you did take pictures, they’re fake. If you didn’t tell your friends, they’re lying. If you did tell your friends, they’re part of the hoax.”
He rejected Vasquez’s suggestion that if the jury thinks Heard might be embellishing on a single act of abuse that they have to disregard everything she says. He said Depp’s libel claim must fail if Heard suffered even a single incident of abuse.
“They’re trying to trick you into thinking Amber has to be perfect to win,” Rottenborn said.
When the jury deliberates, it will have to focus not only on whether there was abuse but also whether Heard’s op-ed piece can be considered legally defamatory. The article itself focuses mostly on policy questions of domestic violence, but Depp’s lawyer point to two passages in the article, as well as an online headline that they say defamed Depp.
In the first passage Heard writes that “two years ago, I became a public figure representing domestic abuse, and I felt the full force of our culture’s wrath.” Depp’s lawyers call it a clear reference to Depp, given that Heard publicly accused Depp of domestic violence in 2016 — two years before she wrote the article.
In a second passage, she states, “I had the rare vantage point of seeing, in real time, how institutions protect men accused of abuse.”
The online headline reads, “Amber Heard: I spoke up against sexual violence — and faced our culture’s wrath.”
“She didn’t mention his name. She didn’t have to,” Chew said. “Everyone knew exactly who and what Ms. Heard was talking about.”
Heard’s lawyers argue that Heard can’t be held liable for the headline because she didn’t write it, and that the two passages in the article are not about the abuse allegations themselves but how Heard’s life changed after she made them.
Rottenborn told jurors that even if they tend to believe Depp’s claim that he never abused Heard, he still can’t win his case because Heard has a First Amendment right to weigh in on matters of public debate. | https://fox4kc.com/news/entertainment/depp-trial-at-long-last-jury-gets-closing-arguments/ | 2022-05-27T18:43:49 | en | 0.979214 |
Building collapse death toll in southwest Iran rises to 26
The building was legally permitted to be only a six-story tower, but four floors had been added during construction.The collapse reminded many of the 2017 fire and collapse of the iconic Plasco building in the Iranian capital, Tehran, that killed 26 people.
- Country:
- Iran Islamic Rep
Rescue teams at the site of a 10-story collapsed building in southwestern Iran pulled seven more bodies from the rubble on Friday, bringing the death toll in the disaster to 26, Iranian state TV reported Friday.
A tower at the Metropol Building that was under-construction in the city of Abadan, collapsed on Monday. Thirty-seven people were rescued, three of them are still being treated in hospital. It remains unclear how many more people are buried beneath the rubble.
Iran's senior vice president, Mohammad Mokhber, travelled to Abadan and visited the site of the incident on Friday.
Authorities have arrested 11 suspects in a widening probe, including the city's mayor.
The deadly collapse has raised questions about the safety of similar buildings in the country and underscored an ongoing crisis in Iranian construction projects that has seen other disasters in this earthquake-prone nation.
Abadan provincial officials have cited "disregard for technical standards" and ""overbuilding'' during construction, saying negligence caused the collapse. The building was legally permitted to be only a six-story tower, but four floors had been added during construction.
The collapse reminded many of the 2017 fire and collapse of the iconic Plasco building in the Iranian capital, Tehran, that killed 26 people.

Grammy-winning artist Justin Timberlake has sold his entire music catalog for just over $100 million, The Wall Street Journal reports.
Hipgnosis Song Management, a company funded by private equity firm Blackstone, acquired 100% of “Timberlake’s copyright, ownership and financial interests of the Writer and Publisher’s Share of Public Performance income, and the catalog of musical compositions written by Justin Timberlake,” says Music Business Worldwide.
The deal includes around 200 songs either written or co-written by the former NSYNC member, including “Can’t Stop the Feeling,” “Cry Me a River,” and “SexyBack,” WXIN reports.
In a statement, Hipgnosis founder and CEO Merck Mercuriadis said, “Putting this deal together has been a complete labor of love … I’m delighted to welcome them all to the Hipgnosis Family. This is the beginning of what we believe will be an incredible relationship important to us all.”
Since the deal only covers songs Timberlake wrote or co-wrote, some of his biggest hits with NSYNC — such as “Bye Bye Bye” and “It’s Gonna Be Me” — are not included.
Timberlake’s worldwide music sales are currently in excess of 150 million, including 88 million as a solo artist and 70 million with NSYNC, Hipgnosis said.
Earlier this year, Hipgnosis acquired singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen’s catalog and 80% of country star Kenny Chesney’s catalog.

LOS ANGELES — To drive, or not to drive? This Memorial Day weekend, with surging gas prices that are redefining pain at the pump, that is the question for many Americans as a new COVID-19 surge also spreads across the country.
For Marvin Harper, of Phoenix, his family’s weekend travel plans are a double punch to the wallet. His college-age son and daughter each have a soccer tournament in Southern California and Colorado, respectively. He and his daughter will fly to Denver, rather than drive, because of the cost of fuel, while his wife and son will go to California in her SUV.
“My mother-in-law’s going with my wife and son to split that cost because it’s just too much on our household,” said Harper, as he filled up the tank of his truck at a Phoenix QuikTrip. “We can’t afford both of us to drive. That’s the bottom line ... Gas prices are killing our household.”
For some, that's exactly what's caused them to rethink their holiday plans, making them opt for a staycation in their backyard to limit the damage to their wallets.
Laura Dena and her sons would typically go to Southern California around Memorial Day weekend to escape Arizona’s scorching heat. This year, because it takes at least $100 to fill up her truck, they’re staying home.
“It’s really frustrating," said Dena while waiting in line in 90-degree heat for a pump at a Costco in Phoenix. "It’s upsetting, but there’s not much we can do. We have to pay the price.”
The average gas price in the U.S. on Thursday was $4.60 per gallon, according to AAA figures. In California, it topped $6. The high price of oil — largely because many buyers are refusing to purchase Russian oil because of its invasion of Ukraine — is the main cause of the steep gasoline prices.
Americans aren’t the only ones weighing their options as the summer travel season begins. Across the European Union’s 27 countries, gasoline has risen 40% from a year ago, to the equivalent of $8.40 a gallon.
Rising prices in the U.S. coincide with a COVID-19 surge that has led to case counts that are as high as they’ve been since mid-February, and those figures are likely a major undercount because of unreported positive home test results and asymptomatic infections.
Still, 2 1/2 years of pandemic life has many people hitting the road or taking to the skies, despite the surge. AAA estimates that 39.2 million people in the U.S. will travel 50 miles (80 kilometers) or more from home during the holiday weekend.
Those projections —- which include travel by car, plane and other modes of transportation like trains or cruise ships — are up 8.3% from 2021 and would bring Memorial Day travel volumes close to 2017 levels. The estimates are still below pre-pandemic 2019 levels, a peak year for travel.
About 88% of those 39.2 million travelers — a record number — are expected to go by car over the long weekend even as gas prices remain high, according to AAA spokesperson Andrew Gross.
In California — despite being home to the nation's highest gas prices — the state's nonprofit tourism agency also predicts a busy summer for the Golden State, beginning this weekend.
Ryan Becker, Visit California’s spokesperson, said his agency is seeing a lot of “pent-up demand” because of the pandemic: “I want to get out, I want to travel. I’ve had to put my anniversary trip on hold, I’ve had to put my 40th birthday trip on hold.”
Outdoorsy, an online rental marketplace for RVs and camper vans, is noticing that its renters have changed their plans over the course of the pandemic. Early on, people would rent an RV to travel cross-country safely to visit family. Now, they're back to using the RVs as a cost-effective way for a vacation tethered to nature.
“I think everyone needs a vacation, I really do," Outdoorsy co-founder Jen Young said. “Have we ever lived through a more stressful, challenging — mentally and physically and spiritually — time in our lives?”
Others shrug off the stress of the added travel costs because it's out of their control. At a Chevron station in the Glassell Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, Ricardo Estrada tried to guess how much the $6.49 a gallon price would run him in total for his Nissan work van.
“I’ll go with between 60 and 70 bucks,” the heating and air-conditioning technician speculated, eyeing the display as the price went up and up.
Estrada — just missing his guess when the pump registered $71.61 for 11 gallons of regular grade — has been forced to raise his business fees for customers to overcome the gas prices. He'll be working over the holiday weekend but has a vacation planned in Arizona next month.
He’s flying, but only because of convenience, not cost.
But with airline tickets prices up, too — AAA found that the average lowest airfare for this weekend is 6% higher than last year — that's not a sure bet, either. | https://fox4kc.com/news/more-memorial-day-travel-expected-even-with-high-gas-prices/ | 2022-05-27T18:44:01 | en | 0.975429 |
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is appreciative of his fellow tight end in San Francisco, George Kittle, saying he deserves to be paid more, but Kelce said his mind is on more than just money.
“I appreciate Kittle saying that because that’s my guy and he always wants to see every tight end get paid as much as their production is,” Kelce said.
Kittle appeared on ProFootballTalk with Mike Florio and said he did not understand how Kelce couldn’t be making more than top receivers in the league.
“I’m pretty sure he has the most receiving yards over any wide receiver skill position in the last six years and he gets paid half of what a wide receiver makes and it just boggles my mind,” Kittle said.
Kittle is right. Kelce has 7,269 receiving yards over the last six seasons.
- TE Travis Kelce – 7,269
- WR Davante Adams – 7,192
- WR Julio Jones – 7,129
- WR DeAndre Hopkins – 7,0408
- WR Mike Evans – 7,044
Even though the stats back up Kittle’s assertion, Kelce has more than just bug money on his mind.
“I signed my contract understanding what I had,” Kelce said. “I put a lot into this, money in my mind is almost a secondary at this point in my career. I’m here for the legacy and I’m her to try and make the Kansas City Chiefs the best team possible.”
As far as legacy goes, Kelce has a one-way ticket to legendary status.
He is the first tight end in NFL history with six consecutive 1,000+ receiving yard seasons and trails only another legendary Chiefs tight end, Tony Gonzalez, in the franchise all-time receiving yards and touchdown rankings.
- TE Tony Gonzalez – 10,940
- TE Travis Kelce – 9,006
- WR Otis Taylor – 7,306
- WR Dwayne Bowe – 7,155
- WR Tyreek Hill, 6,630
Along with the statistics, Kelce adds a Super Bowl ring, seven Pro Bowl selections and three First-Team All-Pro honors, including a unanimous selection in 2020. | https://fox4kc.com/sports/chiefs/travis-kelce-responds-to-george-kittle-money-is-secondary/ | 2022-05-27T18:44:07 | en | 0.969232 |
Punjab Vigilance Bureau registers case for misappropriation of Rs 6.66 cr of panchayat funds
Funds to the tune of Rs 6.66 crore were embezzled, the spokesperson said.Further investigation pertaining to other village panchayats was underway, said the spokesperson.
- Country:
- India
The Punjab Vigilance Bureau on Friday said it has booked 17 people, including two 'sarpanches' and a junior engineer, for allegedly misappropriating panchayat funds to the tune of Rs 6.66 crore.
A Punjab Vigilance Bureau spokesman said the funds were received in lieu of acquisition of gram panchayat lands pertaining to five villages --Akari, Sehra, Sehri, Takhtumajra and Pabra, in Patiala district under the Amritsar-Kolkata Integrated Corridor Project.
Among 17, two were 'sarpanches' (village heads), eight 'panches' of Akari and Sehari villages and two panchayat secretaries.
The spokesperson further said 10 firms have also been booked for supplying materials and labour under the name of development works in villages Akari and Sehri.
The spokesperson said the Punjab Urban Development Authority had acquired over 1,103 acres of panchayat land in these five villages to construct the Amritsar-Kolkata Integrated Corridor Project.
The compensation amount to the tune of Rs 285 crore was paid to the panchayats of villages Akari, Sehari, Sehara, Taktumajara and Pabbra on account of acquired land. Apart from this, the cultivators of this land were given a total displacement allowance of Rs 97.80 crore.
The spokesperson said the residents had complained that the development works were not properly done in the two villages of Akari and Sehari.
During the probe, it came to light that the funds were released without undertaking any development works in Akari and Sehari. Funds to the tune of Rs 6.66 crore were embezzled, the spokesperson said.
Further investigation pertaining to other village panchayats was underway, said the spokesperson.

TAMPA, Fla. — If you’re up early this weekend, take a look up in the sky and you should be able to see two planets.
According to NASA, the planets Mars and Jupiter will be close to each other in the sky, and visible before dawn Friday through Monday.
What’s happening?
NASA is calling it a Mars-Jupiter conjunction. A conjunction is when two objects in the sky — whether planets, the moon or stars — appear close together, WFLA reports.
“In the case of Earth’s solar system, conjunctions happen frequently because our sister planets travel around the sun in a fairly similar ecliptic plane, often appearing to meet in our night sky despite being millions of miles away from one another,” the agency’s website says.
NASA says you’ll be able to see both Mars and Jupiter about 20 degrees above the horizon. They’ll be less than a degree apart at their closest point, or “no more than the width of a raised finger, with Mars appearing just to the lower right of the massive gas giant.”
“Planetary conjunctions traditionally have been more the stuff of astrology than serious astronomy, but they never fail to impress during observations, particular when the gas giants are involved,” Mitzi Adams with NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center said.
How can you see it?
The best time to see the planets will be about 45 minutes before sunrise, NASA says. Sunrise will occur 6:35 a.m. EST Friday and 6:34 a.m. EST the following days, according to timeanddate.com. You’ll want to look toward the eastern-southeastern sky.
Most stargazers should be able to see Jupiter with just the naked eye because of how bright it will be, according to NASA. But astronomers with the agency say you may need a telescope or binoculars to see Mars, which will not be quite as bright.
“We anticipate Jupiter will shine at a magnitude of -2.2,” NASA astronomer Alphonse Sterling said. “Mars, in comparison, will have a magnitude of just 0.7.” | https://fox4kc.com/weather/2-planets-will-be-visible-in-the-night-sky-this-weekend/ | 2022-05-27T18:44:13 | en | 0.923837 |
G7 countries say strict environmental rules needed for deep-sea mining
The Group of Seven countries on Friday agreed stringent environmental controls should govern deep-sea mining and that they would consent to such mining projects only if they did not seriously harm the marine environment.

The Group of Seven countries on Friday agreed stringent environmental controls should govern deep-sea mining and that they would consent to such mining projects only if they did not seriously harm the marine environment. "We determined that if there is deep-sea mining at all, it should only happen under the most strict environmental standards," Germany's environment minister, Steffi Lemke, told a news conference after a meeting of G7 ministers in Berlin.
The International Seabed Authority (ISA), a United Nations body, is drawing up regulations governing seabed mining in the high seas - areas outside any national jurisdiction. Until global rules are in place, sea bed mining is not allowed. "With regard to possible future deep-sea mining, we highlight the unique chance to regulate a human activity before it is put into practice in order to prevent damage to the marine environment," the G7 ministers said in the final communique from their meeting.
They also said that an ability to demonstrate that the deep-sea environment would not be seriously harmed would be critical for them to consider consenting to any future mining permits in the ISA council. Deep-sea mining involves sucking up potato-sized rocks rich in cobalt, nickel and other battery metals from the Pacific Ocean floor at depths of 4-6 km (2.5 to 3.7 miles).
Many scientists and environmentalists have called for a ban on deep-sea mining, saying it could cause lasting damage to little understood habitats. The World Wildlife Fund's (WWF) call for a moratorium has been joined by companies including carmaker BMW and Alphabet Inc's Google.

Modern microbiome rising due to professional 'guilds' of bacteria: Research
According to new research from University of British Columbia (UBC) biologists, even the smallest marine invertebrates are home to distinct and diverse microbial communities or microbiomes.
- Country:
- United States
According to new research from University of British Columbia (UBC) biologists, even the smallest marine invertebrates are home to distinct and diverse microbial communities or microbiomes. The study underscores that a vast diversity of animals have microbiomes, just as humans do. But more surprisingly, there's little correlation between how closely related most animals are and how similar their microbiomes are--something widely assumed to be true based on the study of humans, larger mammals, and insects.
"This says a lot about how microbiomes originated and how they evolve today," says UBC evolutionary microbiologist Dr. Patrick Keeling, senior author of the paper published today in Nature Microbiology. "People might intuitively think the purpose of a microbiome is to be of benefit to the host animal, and that they co-evolve together. But the bacteria could care less about helping the animal host--they have their own agenda."
"Most animals harbour a community of bacteria that are simply good at living in animals. From this 'professional guild' of animal specialists likely evolved the more elaborate, co-evolving microbiomes that are well studied in humans and insects. But as we looked at a broader set of smaller marine animals, it became clear that the microbiomes of bigger creatures are likely exceptions, not the rule." The team found the microbiomes of the tiny creatures differ from the microbes living in the surrounding environment, and often differed from the microbiome of even closely related invertebrates.
Digging into the microbiomes of marine invertebrates In what might be the broadest study of its kind, Dr Keeling and colleagues sequenced the microbiomes from 1,037 animals from 21 phyla - covering most animals. Some of the lineages of animals sampled more broadly included Annelida (ringed worms), Arthropoda (the largest phylum in the animal kingdom) and Nematoda (a phylum of unsegmented, cylindrical worms). The researchers also collected samples from the surrounding habitats in British Columbia, Canada and Curacao, a Dutch Caribbean island.
"Studying such a broad range of animals was crucial-in a smaller study a number of prevalent bacteria may have been mistaken for host-specific symbionts," says Dr Corey Holt, a postdoctoral fellow at UBC and one of the study's first authors. "We found most bacteria were only present in some individuals of a species, and most of these were also present in other host species in the same environment."
Exploring evolutionary time scales "This survey was designed to look at an incredibly broad diversity of animals," says Dr Keeling. "The next step is to take a few of the more interesting groups and dig deeper to see how microbiomes evolved within that group to clarify the time scales at which different evolutionary processes are operating."
The international team included researchers from UBC, the Hakai Institute, the University of Copenhagen, Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, the Polish Academy of Sciences, the Swedish Museum of Natural History, and the University of Hamburg. (ANI)

After UP CM's order, officials visit Yamuna Expressway to check road crashes, fatalities
- Country:
- India
In the wake of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's orders, a team of government officials on Friday visited the Yamuna Expressway, which has witnessed thousands of crashes in a decade, to review the upcoming road safety measures.
Officers of the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) along with senior officials of Jaypee Infratech, which has developed the 165-km-long expressway in western UP, inspected the works recommended by IIT Delhi safety audit, according to a statement.
YEIDA CEO Arun Vir Singh, additional ACEO Monika Rani, ACEO Ravinder Singh were among the government officials who visited the expressway for inspection, it stated.
''In the inspection, all the works carried out by Jaypee were shown. It was observed that safety-related works are complete except work of installation of guardrail on both sides of the median of the Yamuna Expressway," the YEIDA statement read. ''This work is in full swing and out of 330-km (both sides), Jaypee has completed 290 km and the balance will be completed by June 2022. The guard rail in central median has resulted in reduction in number of accidents," it noted. Built for Rs 12,839 crore, the 165-km-long road stretch between Greater Noida and Agra in western Uttar Pradesh and was opened for commercial operations in August 2012.
Managed by the Yamuna Expressway industrial Development Authority (YEIDA), the six-lane high-speed corridor, however, has witnessed thousands of accidents and hundreds of deaths in accidents, bringing it under severe criticism.
CM Adityanath had recently directed officials concerned to ensure measures to bring down the number of road crashes in Uttar Pradesh.
Sharing the status of some upcoming road safety measures, the YEIDA told the private operator to make sure that pamphlets carrying instructions for safe journey are distributed to the road users. ''The pamphlets should be more attractive and be briefly informative with bigger font size,'' the government agency told the developer.
It also called for increasing the number of speed cameras on the expressway to 10 so that more speeding vehicles flouting norms can be caught, according to the statement.
The YEIDA also asked Jaypee Infratech to to increase to three the number of laser speed guns besides sharing a report on the average speed of vehicles between toll plazas with the NIC for ensuring challans of erring drivers.
''The data and details of over speeding and over-weight vehicles should also be shared with the police and the RTO,'' the YEIDA asked the expressway developer.
The Yamuna Expressway has witnessed at least 1,700 road crashes since 2018 which claimed more than 450 lives and left over 3,000 injured, according to official figures in public domain.

Motor racing-Monaco must pay more to stay on F1 calendar says McLaren boss
"Of course, none of us want to see Monaco go but also understand that as a commercial rights holder they need to have an arrangement more consistent with the other venues given the demand of tracks that want to host grand prix," said Brown. Formula One recently added two U.S. races that pack a glitzy punch in Las Vegas and Miami.
If Monaco is to maintain its spot on the Formula One calendar it is going to have to pay more, McLaren boss Zak Brown has said.
The glitzy principality on the Mediterranean coast has staged Formula One's signature race since the first world championship season in 1950 but Brown indicated that unless Monaco is willing to reach a commercial agreement more in line with other races it risks being dropped from the schedule. "I think Monaco has had a very advantageous commercial agreement with Formula One forever and I think all Formula One is trying to do is get a commercial agreement in place that is more consistent with the other venues while recognising its importance on the calendar," Brown said on Friday. "But I think Formula One is now the size and scope that it is bigger than any one team, any one driver, any one race." , he added at the Indianapolis 500 where McLaren Arrow will have three cars on the starting grid for Sunday's race.
While it would seem unthinkable that Formula One would seriously consider dropping its most popular event, Brown said there are plenty of venues offering glamour lined up and ready to step in at the price Formula One is asking. "Of course, none of us want to see Monaco go but also understand that as a commercial rights holder they need to have an arrangement more consistent with the other venues given the demand of tracks that want to host grand prix," said Brown.
Formula One recently added two U.S. races that pack a glitzy punch in Las Vegas and Miami. Las Vegas is set to come on line next year, while Miami made its debut earlier in May racing around the grounds of the Miami Dolphins' Hard Rock Stadium. In an attempt to mimic Monaco, the venue featured a "Beach Club" without a beach and a "Marina" without water with yachts sitting on concrete blocks in a parking lot.

Tennis-U.S. Open runner-up Fernandez makes fourth round in Paris for first time
But Fernandez raised her level when it mattered most and, after breaking serve in the 11th game of the decider, held her serve to love to seal the contest in two hours 49 minutes. The Canadian managed to win a WTA 250 title in Monterrey, Mexico, at the beginning of March but her ride since making the U.S. Open final has been rocked and marked by numerous defeats.
U.S. Open finalist Leylah Fernandez edged Olympic champion Belinda Bencic 7-5 3-6 7-5 on Friday after a see-saw battle to reach the French Open fourth round for the first time.
The only other time the Canadian left-hander made the second week of a major was on her run to the final at Flushing Meadows last year where she lost to fellow teenager Emma Raducanu. The 19-year-old Fernandez, who won the girls' title three years ago at the claycourt Grand Slam, saved two set points before winning the marathon first set in 62 minutes and had to rally from an early break down in the decider against the Swiss.
"It was an incredible fight," the 17th seed, who faces American Amanda Anisimova for a last-eight spot, told reporters. "I think today I was just trusting my game when it mattered the most, and I'm just glad that I was able to trust it enough for me to keep going and keep executing the game plan."
The 14th-seeded Bencic, who won the women's singles gold in Tokyo, hit more winners and committed fewer unforced errors than her opponent in the opening match on Court Philippe Chatrier. But Fernandez raised her level when it mattered most and, after breaking serve in the 11th game of the decider, held her serve to love to seal the contest in two hours 49 minutes.
The Canadian managed to win a WTA 250 title in Monterrey, Mexico, at the beginning of March but her ride since making the U.S. Open final has been rocked and marked by numerous defeats. "I have lost a lot of matches to get here," she said. "So I think every match, what's good about my team and I, we were able to use it as a learning experience to see where I can improve and what I'm doing good too.
"It's just the ability to keep learning from every match that we have that helps put me in a position where I can say that I'll just need to trust my game and just fight for every point."

Rajasthan Royals fans might be on top of the world right now as their team will be playing in the final of IPL 2022. Not too many people might have given them too much credit after the IPL 2022 mega auction, with their recent run in IPL, but Jos Buttler's exceptional form throughout the season meant that he carried his side all the way.
The two top sides in the league stage of IPL 2022 will contest in the final for the IPL trophy on Sunday, May 29 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
After the Qualifier 2 between RR and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Jos Buttler trended on Twitter, along with his moniker 'Jos the Boss' and 'Halla Bol' the chant of RR fans which will be heard all the way till Sunday at least, and who knows maybe even after that as well, if RR add another title to their trophy cabinet.

Tennis-Top seed Djokovic blazes past Bedene into fourth round
I expect a physical battle." On Friday, however, Djokovic had an easy match against Slovenian Bedene, ranked 195th in the world after an eight-month layoff and return to action in March, who was no match for the 35-year-old's power and near-flawless service games.
Novak Djokovic powered past Aljaz Bedene 6-3 6-3 6-2 on Friday with a near flawless performance to reach the French Open fourth round and stay firmly on course to challenge for a record-equalling 21st Grand Slam triumph. The 35-year-old world number one, who was on court for less than two hours, next plays 15th seed Diego Schwartzmann of Argentina and if victorious could face 13-times winner Rafael Nadal in what would be a mouth-watering last eight clash.
"It's not possible to play perfectly but to strive to play close to perfection," Djokovic said in an on-court interview. "I want to play my characteristic game, my aggressive game. It is not always possible but today it was very good."
Djokovic's next opponent is a claycourt specialist and the Serbian warned of Schwartzmann's speed and work ethic although the top seed has won all six of their previous encounters. "He is one of the quickest players on tour. His best results in his career came on clay," Djokovic told a news conference later. "Playing against him you always expect the ball to come back. I expect a physical battle."
On Friday, however, Djokovic had an easy match against Slovenian Bedene, ranked 195th in the world after an eight-month layoff and return to action in March, who was no match for the 35-year-old's power and near-flawless service games. The Serbian wasted three break points at 2-1 in the first set but quickly got another chance to breeze through it in just over 30 minutes.
He got two more breaks in the second to clinch it as quickly as the first with Bedene failing to carve out a break chance in the match, and winning just five points on Djokovic's serve in the first two sets. The third set went in similar fashion with Djokovic breaking early and Bedene, who made twice as many unforced errors as his opponent, failed to respond before the top seed triumphed when the Slovenian netted a forehand after an hour and 44 minutes.

Prasidh, Buttler send Rajasthan Royals to their first IPL final since 2008
- Country:
- India
Jos Buttler extended his dream run this season with a record-equalling fourth hundred as Rajasthan Royals produced a ruthless performance to beat Royal Challengers Bangalore by seven wickets here on Friday and reach their first IPL final since the inaugural edition in 2008. Pacer Prasidh Krishna (3/22) came back strongly from the hammering he received in the last game to help Rajasthan restrict RCB to 157 for eight in Qualifier 2 despite a stellar 42-ball 58 from Rajat Patidar. Buttler (106 not out off 60 balls), the leading run getter of the tournament by a fair distance, then toyed with the RCB attack to ensure the Royals romped to victory in 18.1 overs. It was only fitting that Buttler hit the winning runs as he clobbered Harshal Patel for his sixth maximum. With his special innings, Buttler matched Virat Kohli for most hundreds in a single season. Kohli had achieved that feat in 2016.
Royals take on IPL debutants Gujarat Titans in the final here on Sunday and would be looking to emulate the special feat of the 2008 batch which lifted the title under the inspirational leadership of the late Shane Warne 14 seasons ago.
The pitch offered extra bounce but after Buttler provided a flying start in the company of Yashasvi Jaiswal (21 off 13 balls), the Royals had the game in the bag.
RCB, who had raised hopes for a long awaited title with a resurgent run, committed too many errors after Royals put them in to bat. After a below-par batting effort, their bowlers ran out of ideas against a marauding Buttler. Mohammad Siraj ended a forgettable IPL campaign on a dismal note. He leaked 31 runs in his first two overs, allowing the Royals to run away with game.
Buttler crossed the 800-run mark this season and dispatched bowlers to all corners in his match-winning effort comprising sixes and fours. Jaiswal, who smashed Siraj for two sixes and a four in the opening over, too played his part as the Royals raced to 67 for one in the powerplay.
Earlier, Patidar extended his stellar run in the IPL but his effort was the lone bright spot of the RCB innings as the other batters struggled on a tricky pitch.
Royals gained the upper hand by taking five wickets in the last five overs that went for only 34 runs. After smashing a sensational hundred in the Eliminator, Patidar played with supreme confidence after high-profile openers Virat Kohli (7) and Faf fu Plessis (25) failed to come up with impactful knocks.
Rajasthan Royals pace duo of Trent Boult (1/28) and Krishna were impressive throughout the innings.
While Boult got his inswingers going in the powerplay, Krishna, who had a horror night against Gujarat Titans in the Qualifier 1, got the ball to rise sharply from good length.
Kohli started with a spectacular six off Boult, a whip over deep square leg, before falling to a loose shot off Krishna. It was a wide ball that rose sharply and Kohli played away from his body to edge it to the wicketkeeper. The extra bounce contributed to his dismissal. Patidar joined du Plessis in the middle and again played as if he was batting on a different surface. He was dropped by Riyan Parag at backward point early in the innings after he collected two fours off Krishna in the same over. Both were delightful strokes, the first being a cracking cut shot before a stunning back-foot punch between the cover and backward point.
He also went after the star spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal in the middle overs and brought up his fifty with a clean strike over long-off.
Glenn Maxwell hit a six each against Ashwin and Chahal before Boult outsmarted him. Boult invited him to pull over deep fine leg and the Australian failed to clear the boundary with Obed McCoy taking a brilliant catch.
Royals bowlers were able to stifle RCB in the death overs.
Krishna, hammered for three straight sixes in the final over against Gujarat, lifted his game in the slog overs as well to dismiss the in-form Dinesh Karthik and Wanindu Hasaranga off successive balls.

Cricket-Buttler hundred propels Rajasthan into IPL final
Sunday's final will be a rematch of Tuesday's first qualifier in which IPL debutants Gujarat beat Rajasthan by seven wickets. Put in to bat, Bangalore could not really get going and crossed the 150-mark largely because of Rajat Patidar's breezy 58.
- Country:
- India
Rajasthan Royals booked a place in the Indian Premier League (IPL) final against Gujarat Titans after Jos Buttler's blistering hundred secured a seven-wicket victory versus Royal Challengers Bangalore in Friday's qualifier in Ahmedabad. After Rajasthan captain Sanju Samson won the toss and elected to field, their bowling attack laid the foundation for the comprehensive victory by restricting Bangalore to 157-8.
Buttler, this season's leading IPL scorer, then smashed 106 not out off 60 balls as 2008 champions Rajasthan romped home with 11 balls to spare. Sunday's final will be a rematch of Tuesday's first qualifier in which IPL debutants Gujarat beat Rajasthan by seven wickets.
Put in to bat, Bangalore could not really get going and crossed the 150-mark largely because of Rajat Patidar's breezy 58. Bangalore's batting otherwise did not click against Rajasthan's disciplined bowling spearheaded by Prasidh Krishna and Obed McCoy, who claimed three wickets apiece.
Krishna dismissed Virat Kohli for seven in the second over and McCoy removed Bangalore captain Faf du Plessis (25) in the 11th to dent Bangalore's top order. Glenn Maxwell could not capitalise on the start he got either and was dismissed by Trent Boult for 24.
Patidar smashed three sixes in his 42-ball cameo but Bangalore still fell well short of the 175-mark, which would have been a par score at the ground. Rajasthan's chase got off to a rollicking start with Buttler maintaining his red-hot form and raising 61 runs in five overs with opening partner Yashasvi Jaiswal (21).
Buttler was on 66 when Dinesh Karthik dropped him in what proved a costly mistake. Samson fell for 23 but Buttler could not be denied his fourth hundred this season and the Englishman sealed Rajasthan's victory with his sixth six.

Velocity captain Deepti Sharma said on Friday that they have the team that can win the Women's T20 Challenge. She was addressing a press conference ahead of her side's clash against Supernovas in the finals of Women's T20 Challenge, which will take place on Saturday.
"Yes, we have the team to win the championship. Especially with the way we have played and our positive thinking. Players play their assigned roles and they are confident. The biggest thing is that we are enjoying the game. We will win if players perform their assigned roles," said Sharma in a conference ahead of the clash. Sharma praised the spinner Maya Sonawane for her bowling action. "Maya's action is something I have seen in the women's cricket for the first time. It is not easy to pull off. She has worked really hard. She said that it comes natural to her and she prefers it. Maya did well in her practice sessions and will do well in future," said Deepti.
Sonawane played the first game of her side against Supernovas and went for 19 runs without a wicket in two overs. The captain said that the Women's T20 Challenge has changed the way players play and women's cricket is definitely progressing due to it.
Sharma said that she is enjoying her role as a leader and handling pressure situations. "I am always ready for responsibility as a senior player and a captain," she added.
Velocity will take on two-time champions Supernovas in the finals at MCA Stadium in Pune on Saturday. They will be looking forward to capturing their maiden Women's T20 Challenge title. (ANI)

Ferrari's Charles Leclerc set the pace in practice for his home Monaco Grand Prix on Friday while former winner Daniel Ricciardo crashed his McLaren in a nightmare start to the Australian's weekend. Leclerc led team mate Carlos Sainz in a one-two in the second session, lapping the unforgiving street circuit with a fastest lap of one minute 12.656 seconds on a hot and sunny afternoon.
Ferrari's Charles Leclerc set the pace in practice for his home Monaco Grand Prix on Friday while former winner Daniel Ricciardo crashed his McLaren in a nightmare start to the Australian's weekend.
Leclerc led team mate Carlos Sainz in a one-two in the second session, lapping the unforgiving street circuit with a fastest lap of one minute 12.656 seconds on a hot and sunny afternoon. He was 0.044 quicker than the Spaniard, with the local favourite also fastest in a crash-free first practice with a time of 1:14.531.
Red Bull's Formula One championship leader Max Verstappen was fourth in both sessions, with team mate Sergio Perez second and third. "Clearly compared to Ferrari we still need to find more pace, so now it's all about fine tuning and finding a better balance," said Verstappen.
Leclerc, 24, took pole position for the race last year but was unable to start due to a driveshaft problem, with Verstappen going on to win. The Monegasque is six points behind Verstappen after retiring from last weekend's Spanish Grand Prix but hoping to take back the lead on Sunday and become the first driver from the principality to score points at home since Louis Chiron finished third in 1950.
Lando Norris was fifth in both sessions for McLaren, after resting this week to recover from tonsillitis. RED FLAGS
Ricciardo, winner with Red Bull in 2018, failed to set a time in the second after crashing into the barriers at the Swimming Pool chicane and bringing out the red flags with 45 minutes remaining. He was already under pressure after McLaren boss Zak Brown said the Australian, who won at Monza last year, was not generally meeting the team's expectations.
"I already started losing the car pretty much before turn 13," he said. "We pushed it too much with a few things with set-up. We had a good morning and obviously you try a few things for P2, try and maximise a bit more performance. Let's say we overstepped it. You don't know until you try it.
"We can bounce back." George Russell was the fastest Mercedes driver in sixth place in the second session, with seven times world champion Lewis Hamilton 10th and 12th and testing a range of settings to tame his bouncing car.
Hamilton said it was so bumpy it felt like his eyeballs were coming out of their sockets. Mercedes boss Toto Wolff had warned earlier in the week that the seventh race of the 22-round season could be a tricky one for his team.
"Monaco hasn't always been our happiest track, and slow-speed corners haven't been our strength this season as we saw in Barcelona," he said, referring to the previous race in Spain last weekend. Mick Schumacher stopped his Haas on track with a gearbox problem in the first session but returned for the second as did Alfa Romeo's Valtteri Bottas, who failed to complete a lap earlier due to technical problems.

Motor racing-Mercedes drivers all shaken up after Monaco practice
Monaco's unforgiving street circuit proved a bone-jarring, eye-popping ride for Mercedes drivers George Russell and Lewis Hamilton on Friday as they wrestled with bouncing cars and a bumpy surface. The champions were struggling on a hot afternoon as Ferrari's local hero Charles Leclerc and Spanish team mate Carlos Sainz finished second practice one-two.
Monaco's unforgiving street circuit proved a bone-jarring, eye-popping ride for Mercedes drivers George Russell and Lewis Hamilton on Friday as they wrestled with bouncing cars and a bumpy surface.
The champions were struggling on a hot afternoon as Ferrari's local hero Charles Leclerc and Spanish team mate Carlos Sainz finished second practice one-two. Seven times world champion Hamilton, winner of a record 103 races, said it was "probably the bumpiest track I have ever driven".
He said the car was also bouncing in a different way to previous races this season. "I am fighting the car. To put a lap together is, wow! Holy crap! I don't remember experiencing it like that before," said the Briton, who was 10th and 12th respectively in the sessions.
"When you actually do try to put a lap together, the grip doesn't feel terrible, it's just eyeballs coming out of their sockets." This year's cars are bigger and heavier than in the past, and the city streets subject to the rigours of regular traffic when not being raced on.
Russell, sixth in the second session, said the car was so stiff it was hard to drive it on the limit while the Ferrari drivers appeared able to smash over the kerbs without any problem. "There are sections where both the (front) tyres are off the ground," added the Briton. "At turn five you've got the front-right up in the air, and it's so stiff even the front-left is popping up off the ground as well.
"It's almost like doing a wheelie, with no front wheels on the ground." Trackside engineering director Andrew Shovlin said the ride problems were preventing the drivers from properly attacking the lap, especially on low fuel.
"We made a bit of progress between the sessions, but we need to pick through the data and understand whether we can achieve more," he said.

Nadal joins Djokovic in 4th round
- Country:
- France
No. 5 Rafael Nadal moved into the fourth round at Roland Garros by beating Botic van de Zandschulp 6-3, 6-2, 6-4.
The 13-time champion said it was the best of his three wins this week, at least up until Van de Zandschulp crept back into the third set. Nadal in his on-court interview said he was disappointed to miss a break point that would have put him up 5-0.
Nadal's 301st win at Grand Slams means he will face ninth-seeded Felix Auger-Aliassime for a spot in the quarterfinals.
The Canadian advanced by beating Filip Krajinovic 7-6 (3), 7-6 (2), 7-5.
A French Open player has been fined $10,000 by the tournament after she threw her racket and it bounced off the clay and into the stands during a match.
Irina-Camelia Begu, a 31-year-old Romanian who is ranked 63rd, was cited for unsportsmanlike conduct during the third set of her victory against 30th-seeded Ekaterina Alexandrova in the second round at Court 13.
The match was Thursday. The fine was announced Friday.
After dropping a point, Begu walked to the sideline and chucked her racket, which flew behind chair umpire Anis Ressaissi's seat, landing among spectators sitting courtside. There were gasps from fans and a child could be heard crying.
Tournament referee Remy Azemar said the equipment "brushed a young spectator," who "turned out to be OK." Defending champion Novak Djokovic recorded another straight-set victory and will face Diego Schwartzman for a spot in the quarterfinals at the French Open.
The top-ranked Djokovic beat Aljaz Bedene of Slovenia 6-3, 6-3, 6-2 at Court Philippe Chatrier in 1 hour, 44 minutes — the quickest of his three wins.
Schwartzman's 0-6 record against Djokovic includes a five-setter in the third round at the 2017 French Open. The Argentine is seeded 15th.
The 20-time Grand Slam champion hasn't lost in the third round at Roland Garros since 2009.

Tennis-I hold no grudges and want to play in Australia again says Djokovic
World number one Novak Djokovic said on Friday he would like to return to play in Australia again despite being deported from the country earlier this year due to not having a COVID-19 vaccination. The 20-time Grand Slam winner was unable to defend his Australian Open title in January after being deported amid a media frenzy after being initially admitted to the tournament despite not being vaccinated.
World number one Novak Djokovic said on Friday he would like to return to play in Australia again despite being deported from the country earlier this year due to not having a COVID-19 vaccination.
The 20-time Grand Slam winner was unable to defend his Australian Open title in January after being deported amid a media frenzy after being initially admitted to the tournament despite not being vaccinated. "I don't know anything about whether my visa is going to be reinstated or whether I'm going to be allowed to come back to Australia. I would like to. I would like to go there and play the Australian Open," he told a news conference.
"I don't hold any grudges. Look, you know, it was what it was. If I have an opportunity to go back to Australia and play a place where I made the biggest success in my career on Grand Slam, I would love to come back." Djokovic, who is not vaccinated against COVID-19, was flown out of Australia after an 11-day ordeal at the discretion of the country's immigration minister over concerns the tennis great could fuel anti-vax sentiment.
Scott Morrison, the Prime Minister at the time, has lost elections since and Australia's Labor Party leader, Anthony Albanese, was sworn in as the country's 31st prime minister earlier this month. Djokovic had spent some days in an immigration detention centre in Melbourne and had met refugees who had been there for years. Some have since been released.
"If that's correct, then I'm obviously very happy about it, because I know that it was very difficult for them, particularly for the ones that stayed there for nine years," Djokovic said. "You know, I stayed there for a week, and I can't imagine how they felt for nine years. If I brought some light to that situation then, you know, in a positive way for them, for this to happen, then of course I'm very happy."
The debacle surrounding Djokovic deprived the 35-year-old of the chance to win a record-extending 10th Australian Open. He could have also claimed a record 21st Grand Slam title - a feat his rival Rafa Nadal managed to achieve in Melbourne instead. The Serbian also expressed his shock and sadness at the imprisonment of his former coach Boris Becker, jailed in England for two years and six months in April for hiding hundreds of thousands of pounds of assets after being declared bankrupt.
"It's terrible. I don't know what to say," added Djokovic. "I mean, I'm just very sad that someone I know so well, and of course someone that is a legend of our sport, is going through what he's going through." "It breaks my heart to, you know, see him go through this."

Tennis-Belarusian Azarenka bundled out of French Open by 23rd seed Teichmann
Twice Grand Slam champion Viktoria Azarenka slumped out of the French Open after Swiss 23rd seed Jil Teichmann battled from a set down to win 4-6 7-5 7-6(5) and secure a spot in the fourth round on Friday.
- Country:
- France
Twice Grand Slam champion Viktoria Azarenka slumped out of the French Open after Swiss 23rd seed Jil Teichmann battled from a set down to win 4-6 7-5 7-6(5) and secure a spot in the fourth round on Friday. The Belarusian 32-year-old former world number one, seeded 15th in Paris, powered from 3-0 down at the start of the first set and then again from 4-3 behind to win the next three straight games to secure the opening set.
Azarenka looked to be cruising to a comfortable victory when she broke Teichmann to go 4-2 up in the second with her powerful baseline play and continuous drop shots dictating the game. But in a reversal of the opening set, it was the 24-year-old Swiss left-hander's turn to battle back, mixing it up and clinching five of the next six games to force a decider.
Teichmann kept up the pressure and, after the pair traded two breaks each, won the tiebreak following more than three hours to reach a Grand Slam fourth round for the first time.

IPL 2022: Buttler slams fourth ton of season as RR set up title clash with debutants GT
Jos Buttler's unbeaten 106, his fourth ton of the season, powered Rajasthan Royals to a comprehensive seven-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Qualifier-2 here at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Friday.
- Country:
- India
Jos Buttler's unbeaten 106, his fourth ton of the season, powered Rajasthan Royals to a comprehensive seven-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Qualifier-2 here at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Friday. The inaugural champions will lock horns against debutants Gujarat Titans in the final on Sunday.
Chasing a modest 158, Rajasthan Royals got off to a flying start as openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler wreaked havoc with the bat to strike a fifty partnership for the opening wicket in just 4.3 overs. The 61-run partnership for the opening wicket was finally broken as Yashasvi Jaiswal was dismissed for 21 of 13 balls by Josh Hazlewood.
Buttler was hardly affected by the dismissal of his opening partner as he went on to score his half-century in just 23 balls. Buttler along with Rajasthan's skipper Sanju Samson took their team beyond the triple-figure mark in just 9.1 overs. The Buttler-Samson pair went on to notch up a 50-run partnership for the second wicket in 34 balls.
RCB's slight chances of a comeback took a hit as wicket-keeper Dinesh Karthik dropped Buttler of Harshal Patel's bowling while he was on 66. The 52-run partnership was broken as Samson was dismissed by Wanindu Hasaranga for 23 and stumped by wicket-keeper Karthik.
Devdutt Padikkal joined Buttler as the Rajasthan team looked on course to chase the target comfortably. Hazlewood struck for the second time dismissing Padikkal for 9 caught behind by keeper Karthik. In just 17.2 overs RR went past the 150-run mark and Buttler went on to score his fourth ton of the season equalling the record of Virat Kohli who scored four centuries in the 2016 season for RCB. The Englishman's century came in just 59 balls as he remained unbeaten on 106 to help chase Rajasthan the target in 18.1 overs.
The final be played at the same venue as Qualifier-2. Earlier, after being put to bat first by Rajasthan Royals, Royal Challengers Bangalore got off a shaky start. After dispatching the final delivery off the first over bowled by Trent Boult for a six over square leg, Virat Kohli gave away his wicket to pacer Prasidh Krishna in the next over for just 7 off 8 after an outside edge landed into keeper Sanju Samson's hands.
This brought the hero of the last match, Rajat Patidar to the crease, who had the responsibility to rebuild and repeat the heroics of the last game in this crucial game and be a support to captain Faf Du Plessis. Du Plessis looked really good, smashing Boult for two fours in the third and fifth over. Patidar also looked in good rhythm, smashing Krishna for two consecutive fours in the sixth over before being dropped by Parag on the next ball.
At the end of the powerplay in the next over, RCB stood at a decent 46/1 in six overs with Du Plessis (17*) and Patidar (14) looking good. RCB crossed the 50-run mark at the loss of one wicket in 6.4 overs. Spin was introduced in the eighth over in form of Ravichandran Ashwin. The duo of Plessis-Patidar soon brought up their 50-run standoff 39 balls.
Patidar survived an LBW attempt off an Ashwin delivery in the 10th over. At the end of 10 overs, RCB stood at a solid 74/1 with Patidar (32*) and Du Plessis (25*). McCoy delivered a breakthrough for his team in the 11th over, sending back Du Plessis for 25 off 27 after he was caught by Ashwin, ending the 70-run stand between the duo.
This brought Glenn Maxwell to the field, who hit Ashwin for a straight six in the 12th over. He brought RCB to the 100-run mark in the 13th over of the game, which ended up giving 15 runs thanks to a four and six by Maxwell. Boult provided his side with another wicket at the final ball of the 14th over, sending back Maxwell for 24 off 13 after McCoy caught the batter at fine leg while he was attempting a pull shot.
This brought the southpaw Mahipal Lomror to the middle. At the final ball of the 15th over by Chahal, Patidar hit a six that relieved some pressure for RCB and brought his second IPL fifty this season off 40 balls. At the end of 15 overs, RCB stood at 123/3, with Patidar (52*) and Lomror (2*). Patidar soon departed back to the pavilion for 58 off 42 after being caught by Jos Buttler off an Ashwin delivery.
Dinesh Karthik was the next one on the crease, with responsibility in his hands to accelerate in the death overs. McCoy sent back a struggling Lomror for 8 off 10 after Ashwin caught him, sinking RCB to 141/5. Shahbaz Ahmed was up next, smashing McCoy for a four and easing some pressure for RCB. In the 19th over of the match, Krishna sent danger man Karthik back to the pavilion after he was caught by Parag while attempting to hit straight. Wanindu Hasaranga was sent back to pavilion the very next ball, with Krishna on a hat-trick, which he could not get.
Shahbaz hit a six at the second last ball of the 19th over to ease off some pressure. McCoy sent back Harshal Patel for just 1. RCB ended at 157/8 in their 20 overs. Krishna (3/22) and McCoy (3/23) were lead bowlers for RR. Ashwin and Boult scalped a wicket each.
Brief Scores: Royal Challengers Bangalore 157/8 in 20 overs (Rajat Patidar 58, Faf Du Plessis 25; Prasidh Krishna 3/22) against Rajasthan Royals 161/3 in 18.1 overs (Jos Buttler 106*, Sanju Samson 23; Josh Hazlewood 2/23). (ANI)

Strategy to pick seasoned players for first XI has paid off: Sangakkara
It takes a lot of planning, hard work, execution on the field, said Sangakkara after the game.He was all praise for the players who helped the team reach the final.Really tough with the close defeat to Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 1 but the guys got back up and came back strongly.
- Country:
- India
The auction strategy to spend majority of the purse on building a first eleven full of seasoned players has paid off, said director of cricket Kumar Sangakkara on Friday after Rajasthan Royals reached their first IPL final since 2008.
Royals beat Royal Challengers Bangalore by seven wickets to have a shot at a second IPL title. ''At the auction table, we spent 90-95% of our purse on putting together our first XI. We worked hard on data to work on the players we wanted. We put emphasis on experience at the moment. We have a spattering of youngsters who will become stars later, but our first XI has a strong share of seasoned internationals. ''Full credit to Giles Lindsay, our analyst, Zubin Barucha and the rest of the staff. Wins don't just happen. It takes a lot of planning, hard work, execution on the field,'' said Sangakkara after the game.
He was all praise for the players who helped the team reach the final.
''Really tough with the close defeat to Gujarat Titans (in Qualifier 1) but the guys got back up and came back strongly. ''Jos Buttler backs his strengths and manoeuvres the bowling to bowl more and more to his strengths. The great thing is he can accelerate anytime. Overall he is a wonderful guy who thinks deeply about his game and himself. ''The entire bowling unit was outstanding. Special mention to Prasidh. We had 16 to defend in the last game, and three sixes by Miller. It can cause a huge dent in the confidence. But he was honest, he was great in the nets. ''Then Trent Boult. And Obed McCoy, his mother has been quite ill back home, but he has been able to put that aside. She is recovering well. And Ashwin and Yuzi have run the show,'' said the Sri Lankan legend.
Skipper Sanju Samson was a young kid when the Royals won their only title back in 2008. He tried to remember where he was when Shane Warne captained Royals to a memorable win.
''I was playing an Under-16 final somewhere in Kerala when I saw Shane Warne and Sohail Tanvir win it for Rajasthan Royals in 2008,'' he recalled.
After a tough loss against Gujarat Titans, Royals produced a flawless performance.
''We used to bouncing back in the IPL. It is a long tournament where you go up and down. The wicket, bowling first, was a bit sticky and helping the fast bowlers. The bounce was good, which made it easier to hit the spinners. But our fast bowlers bowled really well,'' said Samson. Player of the match Jos Buttler, who hit a record equalling fourth hundred of the season, said it has been a tournament of two halves for him. ''I came to the season with very low expectations but a lot of energy. It is very exciting to stand in the final. I had a season of two halves, and had very honest conversations with people really close to me. I was feeling the pressure midway, and it was only about a week ago that I opened up about it. ''It helped me and I went to Kolkata with a freer mind. Sometimes it is not working for me, and there are times when a younger me would have played a shot and come out. But it's something that Sanga has been saying that the longer you stay, you give yourselves a chance to find a way. ''Great excitement to have the opportunity to play in the final of the biggest tournament in T20 cricket. Shane Warne has been such an influential figure for RR. We miss him dearly,'' said Buttler.

FAIRFAX, Virginia -- Closing arguments in the high-profile dual defamation trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard begin Friday.
The weekslong trial began April 11 in Fairfax, Virginia, and was presided over by Judge Penney Azcarate.
Depp, 58, sued Heard, 36, for $50 million over a 2018 op-ed she wrote for The Washington Post in December 2018. In the piece, she wrote about surviving domestic abuse without identifying her alleged abuser by name. Heard filed a $100 million countersuit against Depp in response.
In their respective testimonies during the trial, both Heard and Depp claimed the other abused them. The former couple, who met while filming 2011's "The Rum Diary" and were married from 2015 to 2017, denied each other's claims of abuse.
Depp alleged in his testimony that he is the victim of domestic violence, not Heard. He claimed Heard severed a finger on his right hand when she allegedly threw a vodka bottle at him. Depp claimed he didn't report the alleged assault because he didn't want to damage either of their careers.
He also claimed the fallout from Heard's abuse allegations impacted his career, costing him the role of Captain Jack Sparrow in Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean" film franchise.
Heard admitted in her testimony to being physically violent with Depp, but claimed she had always acted in self-defense. She claimed Depp physically abused her countless times during their relationship and, in one instance, that he had sexually assaulted her with a bottle.
She claimed her role as Mera in the forthcoming "Aquaman" film was diminished in the wake of Depp's denial of any wrongdoing and the negative publicity surrounding her.
Depp's lawyers present their closing arguments
Depp's lawyer, Camille Vasquez, began Depp's closing arguments.
"On May 27, 2016, Ms. Heard walked into a courthouse in Los Angeles, California, to get a no notice, ex-parte restraining order against Mr. Depp, and in doing so, ruined his life by falsely telling the world that she was a survivor of domestic abuse at the hands of Mr. Depp," she began in her statements to the jury.
"Today, on May 27, 2022, exactly six years later, we ask you to give Mr. Depp his life back by telling the world that Mr. Depp is not the abuser Ms. Heard said he is and hold Ms. Heard accountable for her lies," she continued.
During her closing arguments, Vasquez described Heard as "violent," "abusive" and a "deeply troubled person."
"What is at stake in this trial is a man's good name," Vasquez said. "Even more than that, what is at stake in this trial is a man's life -- the life that he lost when he was accused of a heinous crime, and the life he could live when he is finally vindicated."
Vasquez focused on Depp's comments during his testimony about the "persistent verbal and physical abuse" he allegedly suffered from Heard. She also highlighted testimonies from multiple witnesses, including Heard's former friend, Raquel "Rocky" Pennington; Heard's former assistant, Kate James; and an airport employee, Beverly Leonard. In their testimonies, the witnesses described either verbal or physical abuse they allegedly witnessed from Heard.
Vasquez also spoke about audio recordings that she says helped illustrate Heard's "temper"; many were replayed during the closing arguments. In one, the actress can be heard admitting to "hitting" Depp. Heard previously testified to being physically violent with Depp, but claimed she was never the primary aggressor and was defending herself.
"The evidence provided at this trial demonstrates that Ms. Heard didn't just want a divorce, she wanted to ruin him," Vasquez said.
During her closing statements, Vasquez once again questioned Heard's donation "pledge" to the American Civil Liberties Union and the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles. Vasquez said it was a "blatant lie" that Heard has not donated the money because she was sued for defamation, which is what Heard previously claimed.
"She had all the money and had month after month after month to fulfill her pledge and actually donate the money -- but she didn't," the lawyer said.
Vasquez said "the giant lie at the heart of this case" was Heard's claim that Depp was an "abusive monster" and that she is "a public figure representing domestic abuse." She called Heard's side of the story "a performance, the role of her lifetime."
Vasquez questioned why there aren't more images of the alleged injuries Heard says she sustained at the hands of Depp. Mentioning apology texts from Depp to Heard that were previously shown in court, Vasquez said that Depp never apologized in these texts for being physically violent. She claimed that contrasted the evidence shared in the trial that showed Heard allegedly admitting to being physically violent.
The lawyer then showed a series of photos of Heard after alleged abuse she had endured from Depp, questioning if Heard's appearance in the photos "are consistent with the brutal assault and serious injuries Ms. Heard has testified to" at the hands of Depp.
Throughout her statements, Vasquez highlighted many incidents Depp recalled in his testimony of Heard allegedly abusing him. Vasquez specifically highlighted Depp's recollection of physical violence that he says occurred in Australia in 2015 -- when Depp claimed Heard severed a finger on his right hand when she allegedly threw a vodka bottle at him.
"You can't pick and choose which of these wild allegations to believe and which ones to discard. You either believe all of it or none of it," Vasquez said. "Either she's a victim of truly horrific abuse, or she's a woman who is willing to say absolutely anything."
Ben Chew, another member of Depp's legal team, argued that no woman ever accused Depp of domestic violence before Heard, saying, "This is #MeToo without any #MeToo."
He mentioned Depp's abuse of drugs and alcohol and said Depp has admitted he's struggled with substances. "Mr. Depp is no saint, and he has never claimed to be one," Chew said. "He has made mistakes in his life, as we all have. Yes, he has struggled with drugs and alcohol, but you never heard him deny that. We told you that in the opening statement. He owns his flaws, he admits to them, he told you all about them -- but he is not a violent abuser."
Chew mentioned multiple witnesses in the entertainment industry who took the stand throughout the trial to share opinions on how damaging they felt Heard's 2018 op-ed was to Depp's career.
"Mr. Depp wasn't canceled by Hollywood because he was sometimes late to set," Chew said. "He was canceled because Ms. Heard falsely accused him of domestic violence and sexual violence on the pages of The Washington Post on Dec. 18, 2018, repeating the prior lies of May 17, 2016."
Chew ended the closing arguments for Depp's side of the case by saying this trial has never been about money or "punishing Ms. Heard" and instead is "about Mr. Depp's reputation and freeing him from the prison in which he has lived for the past six years."
Disney is the parent company of ABC News and "Good Morning America."

He said it was decided to deploy sufficient manpower in advance so that the camps and routes of yatra are secured and checked at the earliest. It was also decided that rescue teams be deployed by the police forces at various places to provide necessary help to the yatris. The DGP asked the officers present in the meeting to maintain a close coordination with their ranks and other security agencies to achieve better results and called for an effective mechanism and planning for smooth and peaceful conduct of the yatra. He emphasised upon officers for special focus on sensitive locations and base camps while putting in place the security arrangements. Singh said the coordination mechanisms and communication systems must be established among the counterparts of all the stakeholders of army, CAPFs, Police and Civil administration. He said that adequate and effective deployments should be made on ground to address any vulnerability. He directed the officers to revisit security plans and fine tune these at sectoral level to augment an adequate response to any exigency. Singh also emphasised putting focus on road opening parties, lateral deployment, law and order deployment to neutralise threats and meet challenges.

South Korean tech conglomerate Samsung has quietly announced a new entry-level smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy M13, and it's not part of the incredibly successful A series. According to GSM Arena, the phone is part of the much more confusing and less well defined M family.
As the first digit strongly implies, this is a basic smartphone which should be rather affordable, although Samsung hasn't actually unveiled a price for it. The phone comes with a 6.6-inch FHD+ screen with a V-shaped notch, the Exynos 850 chipset at the helm, 4GB of RAM, 64 or 128GB of expandable storage, and a 5,000 mAh battery.
As per GSM Arena, the Galaxy M13 runs Android 12 underneath Samsung's own One UI Core 4.1. 'Core' means not all features seen in One UI 4.1 will be present, because of the entry-level hardware. (ANI)

Brazil's airport authority Infraero said Friday it has notified the Federal Police over an apparent hack into electronic displays at an airport in Rio de Janeiro. Instead of advertisements and flight information, travellers were shown pornographic movies.
Video clips on social media showed travellers in the Santos Dumont airport laughing at the displays, hiding them from their kids or just stunned.
The airport authority's statement said that its information services are outsourced to another company, which it has also notified.
“We stress that the content shown in our media screens is a responsibility of the companies who have advertisement rights,” said Infraero. It said its partners use their own systems of publication, which have no connection with Infraero's flight information system.
Infraero said it turned off the screens that had been hacked.

North Carolina man found in Georgia, returns to Randolph Co. Jail after removing EHA monitoring device
Randolph County sheriff's deputies booked a North Carolina man after authorities said he had removed his Electronic House Arrest monitoring device two months earlier and ran away.
Leaders with the sheriff's office said 30-year-old Rafael Rabadan was placed on Electronic House Arrest but removed his monitoring device on March 5.
Authorities said they drove to his residence and found the device in a wooded area across from his residence, and they did not see Rabadan.
Rabadan was placed on EHA by the Randolph County Sheriff's Office on March 26, 2020, for multiple charges including Trafficking of Illegal Substances, they said.
On Thursday, a bondsman found Rabadan in Georgia and took him back to North Carolina where he is currently being held at the Randolph County Jail.
Rabadan has a $155,000 secured bond, in addition to EHA. | https://www.wxii12.com/article/north-carolina-man-found-in-georgia-returns-to-randolph-co-jail-after-removing-eha-monitoring-device/40128375 | 2022-05-27T18:47:45 | en | 0.987648 |
Students who survived Texas school attack describe scene
A young survivor of the massacre at a Texas elementary school said she covered herself with a friend’s blood and pretended to be dead while she waited for help to arrive.
Miah Cerrillo, 11, told CNN that she and a friend called 911 from her dead teacher’s phone Tuesday and waited for what felt like, to her, three hours for officers to arrive at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde.
The 18-year-old shooter, Salvador Ramos, was inside the school for more than an hour before he was shot to death by Border Patrol tactical officers. That’s according to top law enforcement officials who provided new details Thursday of a confusing and sometimes contradictory timeline that has angered and frustrated the parents and onlookers who had urged police to charge into the school.
The children who survived the attack, which killed 19 schoolchildren and two teachers, described a festive, end-of-the-school-year day that quickly turned to terror.
Samuel Salinas, 10, told ABC’s “ Good Morning America ” that he and other classmates pretended to be dead after Ramos opened fire on the class. Samuel was struck by shrapnel in his thigh.
“He shot the teacher and then he shot the kids,” said Samuel, who was in Irma Garcia’s class. Garcia died in the attack and her husband, Joe Garcia, died Thursday of an apparent heart attack.
Gemma Lopez, 10, was in a classroom down the hall when Ramos entered the building. She told “Good Morning America” that a bullet came through her classroom wall before any lockdown was called.
Her best friend, Amerie Garza, died in the rampage. | https://www.wxii12.com/article/students-who-survived-texas-school-attack-describe-scene/40129152 | 2022-05-27T18:47:45 | en | 0.981668 |
