Collegium a multi-member body whose tentative decision cannot be brought in public domain: SC
- Country:
- India
The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed a plea seeking disclosure of the details of a collegium meeting held on December 12, 2018 under the Right to Information Act, underlining a ''tentative decision'' of the multi-member body cannot be brought in the public domain.
A bench of Justices MR Shah and CT Ravikumar said only resolutions drawn and signed by all collegium members can be said to be a final decision. Tentative resolutions drawn upon discussion and consultation among the members cannot be said to be final unless they are signed by all of them, it said.
''Collegium is a multi-member body whose tentative decision cannot be brought in the public domain,'' it noted.
The top court said it cannot place reliance on media reports and the interview of a former member of the collegium, and it doesn't want to comment on statements made by the former judge.
In a resolution passed on January 10, 2019, the collegium, whose combination was changed due to the retirement of Justice MB Lokur, said in its meeting on December 12, 2018 only consultations were held on certain names but no final decision was taken.
The top court passed the verdict on a petition by RTI activist Anjali Bhardwaj against a Delhi High Court order dismissing her plea seeking the agenda of the Supreme Court Collegium's meeting held on December 12, 2018 when certain decisions were purportedly taken on the elevation of some judges to the apex court. On December 2, the top court had said the existing collegium system should not be derailed on the basis of statements of ''some busybody'', asserting the top court is one of the most transparent institutions.
Amid divisions within the judiciary and its festering dispute with the government over the system under which existing judges appoint judges to constitutional courts, it had said the court does not want to comment on what a few former apex court judges, who were once members of the Supreme Court collegium, are now saying about the mechanism. On December 12, 2018, the collegium headed by then Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and comprising Justices Lokur, AK Sikri, SA Bobde and NV Ramana (all retired) had purportedly taken certain decisions with regard to appointment of judges to the top court and proposals for transfer of chief justices and judges of high courts but those resolutions were not uploaded on the SC web site.
Later, on January 10, 2019, the collegium, following the retirement of Justice Lokur, took another decision to recommend to the centre the elevation of Justices Dinesh Maheshwari and Sanjiv Khanna and said the recommendations dated December 12, 2018 proposed earlier could not be finalised as it was decided to have a fresh look at them.
At the January 10 meeting, the collegium decided to reconsider the earlier proposals in the light of additional material that became available.
On July 27, the Delhi High Court had dismissed Bhardwaj's appeal challenging a single judge's order rejecting her plea seeking the agenda of the Supreme Court collegium's meeting held on December 12, 2018.
It had said the order of the single judge, as well as the orders of the authorities refusing to direct disclosure, did not require any interference.
Bhardwaj had challenged before the single judge the CIC's December 16, 2021 order by which her second appeal was dismissed, and sought a direction to the authorities to disclose the available information she had wanted under the February 26, 2019 RTI application.
Her petition said on January 23, 2019, Justice Madan B Lokur, who was a part of the collegium meeting and retired on December 30, 2018, had in an interview expressed his disappointment that the December 12, 2018 collegium resolution was not uploaded on the Supreme Court website.
According to former Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi's autobiography 'Justice for the Judge', the names of Justice Pradeep Nandrajog, the then Chief Justice of the Rajasthan High Court, and Justice Rajendra Menon, the then Chief Justice of the Delhi High Court, had been cleared for elevation to the Supreme Court at the collegium's December 12, 2018 meeting.
The matter allegedly got leaked, after which the issue was kept in abeyance by Justice Gogoi till January 2019 because of winter break which started on December 15, 2018, the book said.
In January 2019, a new collegium was constituted after the retirement of Justice Lokur.
The new collegium, in its resolution of January 10, 2019, did not clear the names of Justice Nandrajog and Justice Menon for elevation to the Supreme Court, according to the book.
The petition did not mention the names of any judges whose names were allegedly cleared.

NGT directs Mizoram govt to pay Rs 50 crore environmental compensation for improper waste management
- Country:
- India
The National Green Tribunal has directed the Mizoram government to pay Rs 50 crore as environmental compensation for improper management of liquid and solid waste.
A bench headed by Chairperson Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel said compliance with environmental norms on waste management had to be a high priority and it was high time that the state realised its duty to the law and citizens and adopted further monitoring at its own level.
The bench, also comprising Justice Sudhir Agarwal and Expert Member A Senthil Vel, said the ''nagging problem of waste management stares the administration in the face and remains unresolved to the detriment of the environment and public health'' and the first change required was to set up a centralised single-window mechanism for planning, capacity building and monitoring of waste management at the state level.
The single-window mechanism should be headed by an officer of the rank of additional chief secretary with representation from the Urban Development, Rural Development, Environment and Forest, Agriculture, Water Resources, Fisheries and Industries departments, the bench said.
Determining the quantum of compensation, the tribunal said the gap in sewage generation and treatment was 23.94 million litres per day (MLD), while the existing legacy waste was 60,000 metric tonnes (MT).
''The estimated environmental compensation comes to around Rs 50 crore and the compensation rests on the polluter pays principle recognising failure in scientifically managing the liquid and solid waste in violation of the mandate of law, particularly judgments of the Supreme Court and this tribunal,'' the green panel said.
It, however, noted that after the hearing, a submission was made to the tribunal, saying the state had already allocated Rs 50 crore during the 2022-23 financial year to meet the expenditure for the gap in solid waste and sewage management.
''In view of this, we accept the prayer of the chief secretary that instead of this tribunal levying compensation, the administration itself will ensure availability of Rs 50 crore by transferring the amount in a separate ring-fenced account to be operated as per directions of the Chief Secretary,'' the tribunal said.
The chief secretary has to review the progress at least once a month and file six monthly progress reports, with verifiable progress, before the tribunal, it said.
The green panel is monitoring compliance with Municipal Solid Waste Management Rules and other environmental issues by states and Union Territories.

Brittney Griner back home in US after Russian prisoner swap
- Country:
- United States
American basketball star Brittney Griner returned to the United States early Friday after being freed in a high-profile prisoner exchange following nearly 10 months in detention in Russia.
The deal, which saw her swapped for notorious arms dealer Viktor Bout, secured the release of the most prominent American detained abroad and achieved a top goal for President Joe Biden. But the US failed to win freedom for another American, Paul Whelan, who has been jailed for nearly four years.
Griner is a two-time Olympic gold medalist, Baylor University All-American and Phoenix Mercury pro basketball star. Her status as an openly gay Black woman, locked up in a country where authorities have been hostile to the LBGTQ community, injected racial, gender and social dynamics into her legal saga and brought unprecedented attention to the population of wrongful detainees.
Biden's authorisation to release Bout, the Russian felon once nicknamed "the Merchant of Death," underscored the heightened urgency that his administration faced to get Griner home, particularly after the recent resolution of her criminal case on drug charges and her subsequent transfer to a penal colony.
Griner was seen getting off a plane that landed Friday at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland in Texas.
The athlete, who also played pro basketball in Russia, was arrested at an airport there in February after Russian authorities said she was carrying vape canisters with cannabis oil. Before her conviction, the US State Department declared Griner to be "wrongfully detained" — a charge that Russia has sharply rejected.
The Russian Foreign Ministry confirmed Thursday's swap, saying in a statement carried by Russian news agencies that the exchange took place in Abu Dhabi and Bout had been flown home.
Biden spoke by phone with Griner. US officials said she would be offered specialised medical services and counselling.
In releasing Bout, the US freed a former Soviet Army lieutenant colonel whom the Justice Department once described as one of the world's most prolific arms dealers. He was arrested in Thailand in 2008 and extradited to the US in 2010.
Bout was serving a 25-year sentence on charges that he conspired to sell tens of millions of dollars in weapons that US officials said were to be used against Americans.
Following Griner's arrest at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport in February, she pleaded guilty in July but still faced trial because admitting guilt in Russia's judicial system does not automatically end a case.
She acknowledged in court that she possessed canisters with cannabis oil but said she had no criminal intent and she accidentally packed them. Her defence team presented written statements that she had been prescribed cannabis to treat pain.

The former CEO of the failed cryptocurrency exchange FTX said in a tweet Friday that he is willing to testify to Congress next week, but that he will be limited in what he can say and that he “won't be as helpful” as he'd like to be.
The tweet came in response to several tweets earlier this month from House Financial Services Committee Chair Maxine Waters, who had requested that Sam Bankman-Fried attend next week's hearings over the collapse of FTX.
Waters, a California Democrat, said in a series of tweets to Bankman-Fried that based on multiple media interviews since FTX collapsed, it was “clear to us that the information you have thus far is sufficient for testimony.”
FTX failed last month in what was essentially a cryptocurrency version of a bank run, when customers tried to withdraw their assets all at once because of growing doubts about the financial strength of the company and its affiliated trading arm, Alameda Research. Since its collapse, FTX’s new management has called the cryptocurrency exchange’s management a “ complete failure of corporate controls.”
Bankman-Fried has admitted his own failures in preventing the collapse.
In a series of tweets to Waters, Bankman-Fried listed specific issues he would be able to discuss with the committee, including the solvency of FTX's U.S. business, its American customers and possible solutions for returning assets to international clients. He also said he could talk about what he thinks led to the crash and “my own failings."
Bankman-Fried has said that he takes responsibility for FTX’s collapse and that he failed to grasp the amount of risk Bermuda-based FTX and Alameda were taking on across both businesses. One of the accusations made against Bankman-Fried is that he arranged for Alameda to use customers’ assets in FTX to place bets in the market. Bankman-Fried has said in public interviews that he did not “knowingly” co-mingle customers’ assets with Alameda.
Exchanges like FTX are supposed to segregate customers’ deposits from any bets they place in the markets. Other financial companies have gotten into trouble for misusing customers deposits, one example being MF Global roughly 10 years ago.
In a TV interview just over a week ago, Bankman-Fried said he largely believed the U.S. affiliate of FTX was entirely solvent and could start processing withdrawals at once. As for the rest of FTX, which was significantly larger than the U.S. division, he said the fate of customers’ funds were largely out of his control.
Bankman-Fried, who was once one of the richest people in the world on paper, now says he is getting by on a single credit card and likely has less than $100,000 to his name after FTX’s failure.
Waters has said that FTX's collapse had “harmed over one million people," and tweeted on Tuesday that if Bankman-Fried was not willing to testify that a subpoena was “definitely on the table.”

DETROIT (AP) — Workers at a General Motors joint venture electric vehicle battery factory in Ohio have voted to join the United Auto Workers union.
About 900 workers at the new plant near Warren, Ohio, are the first to decide on union representation at a battery plant. The union says in a statement Friday that workers voted 710 to 16 for the UAW, a decision that is crucial to the future of the 372,000-member union.
As batteries replace gas-powered engines, employees at GM engine and transmission factories will need places to work as their products are gradually phased out over the next decade or so.
GM has pledged to sell only electric passenger vehicles by 2030, and the Ohio plant is the first to begin making battery cells that will go into packs that make electric vehicles go.
The company has announced the sites of two other North American battery factories in Lansing, Michigan, and Spring Hill, Tennessee, to be built in a joint venture with LG Energy Solution of South Korea. The location of a fourth plant, built by the Ultium Cells joint venture, is expected to be announced soon.
“The vote shows that they want to be part of maintaining the high standards and wages that UAW members have built in the auto industry,” union President Ray Curry said in the statement.
GM CEO Mary Barra told the Automotive Press Association in Detroit on Thursday that the company welcomes the union at its battery plant. GM, she said, has worked with the UAW on health and safety, quality and training issues. "There's a lot that we can do together," she said.
The union represents about 150,000 workers employed by the three Detroit automakers, and sees organizing the battery plants as key to its future.
Curry, who is in a runoff election to lead the UAW next year, said in a July interview that representation at the battery plants is critical, given that major automakers are staking their futures on widespread use of electric vehicles.
“It’s going to be key to lock down that type of new technology,” he said. "Everybody is dependent upon what happens out of that bargaining.”
In addition to GM, Ford has announced plans to build three U.S. battery factories, all in Kentucky and Tennessee, states where workers may not be as amenable to unions as the Great Lakes region. Stellantis, formerly, Fiat Chrysler, will build one battery plant in Canada and another in Kokomo, Indiana.
The union will want automakers to pay top assembly plant wages of around $32 per hour at the battery plants, the wage they now pay at engine and transmission factories. But automakers will want to pay less to keep costs competitive with companies that have battery plants in the South and West that are likely to be nonunion.
On Thursday, Barra said that just because the UAW represents a plant doesn't mean its costs have to be higher. GM, she said, knows how to run its operations efficiently and has strategies to do that. But she said GM still has to be competitive so it can reinvest in its business and keep workers' jobs secure.
“When you have that conversation on the plant floor, they get it,” Barra said. “We'll work through it. I don't subscribe that that means we're going to have higher costs necessarily.”
Barra said she would like to get a contract with the union at the Warren plant as quickly as possible. But the issue could be rolled into national contract talks with the automakers that are coming next year. The talks could become contentious with new union leaders who want to take a more confrontational stance.
The UAW sought the election, run by the National Labor Relations Board, after it said GM wouldn’t recognize cards that Warren employees signed to join the union.

CHISINAU, MOldova (AP) — Two Moldovan oligarchs who are allegedly implicated in a one-billion-dollar bank fraud and other illicit schemes have been added to a new U.K. sanctions list, Britain's foreign secretary said Friday.
The two men, Ilan Shor, and Vladimir Plahotniuc, fled Moldova in 2019 as they faced a series of corruption charges. They were among 30 people around the world sanctioned Friday by the U.K., Foreign Secretary James Cleverly said in a statement.
Moldovan authorities allege that both are implicated in a $1 billion dollar bank theft from a Moldovan bank in 2014. At the time, the sum was the equivalent of about one-eighth of annual GDP in what is one of Europe’s poorest countries.
Moldova’s Prime Minister Natalia Gavrilita hailed the U.K. move, saying that “the circle around the corrupt and thieves in the country is tightening.”
“We are determined to ensure all conditions for corrupt politicians to be investigated,” she told a press conference, adding that she wants Moldova "to ... become a country where European values and standards are lived realities and not a distant dream.”
Shor is a businessman born in Israel — where he has resided in exile since 2019. He also leads the populist, Russia-friendly Shor Party, which in recent months has organized large protests in Moldova's capital, Chisinau, against the pro-Western government.
Shor also is accused of bribery to secure his position as chair of a Moldovan bank in 2014, and was recently named on a U.S. State Department sanctions list as working for Russian interests and to undermine Moldova’s bid to join the European Union.
In June, Moldova — a former Soviet republic of 2.6 million sandwiched between Romania and Ukraine — was granted EU candidate status.
The other sanctioned oligarch, Plahotniuc, is a powerful businessman and former politician charged with “capturing and corrupting Moldova’s state institutions,” Cleverly’s statement read.
In June 2019, Plahotniuc fled to the U.S. from Moldova after failing to form a government with his Democratic Party. In 2020, the U.S. declared him persona non grata and his whereabouts are now unknown to authorities. He too was included on the recent U.S. sanctions list.
“Plahotniuc’s bribery of law enforcement officials reflects his longstanding efforts to capture and corrupt Moldova’s judicial and law enforcement institutions,” the State Department said at the time.
Moldovan President Maia Sandu thanked her country’s external partners on Friday for their "support in our fight against corruption that has plagued our state and citizens.”
Moldova has taken a distinctly Western-oriented path over the last year, and officials are pushing to clean up corruption and reform the judiciary. It ranked 105th out of 180 countries in Transparency International’s 2021 Corruption Perception Index.
The U.K. said Friday it will freeze any assets owned by Shor or Plahotniuc in the U.K. or its overseas territories. British citizens are also barred from economic transactions with the pair, “who are henceforth denied entry to the UK.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Celine brought a new line of fashion into the Hollywood spotlight in front of a star-studded audience while infusing rock music into designer Hedi Slimane’s “Age of Indieness” show Thursday night.
The fashion brand's show at iconic Los Angeles landmark The Wiltern introduced glitzy black and gold gowns, faux fur coats, slim leather pants along with gold-button jackets and coats. Each model walked down the runway to the beat of The White Stripe’s rock-infused “Hello Operator” while displaying the latest collection from the fashion house.
The co-ed runway graced the eyes of several celebrities and entertainers including Cindy Crawford, Doja Cat, Brie Larson, Justin Hoffman, Paris Hilton, Kid Cudi, Paris Jackson, Ava Phillippe, Wiz Khalifa and Courtney Cox. Crawford watched as her daughter, Kaia Gerber, strutted in a glittery gold dress.
Slimane incorporated men and womenswear. Some of the pieces worn were red blazers with gold trims, high-heeled black leather boots, black suits and gold feathers hanging from jackets.
Once the show finished, Slimane briefly marched onstage holding Gerber's hand, waved and took a bow at audience members – mostly dressed in black – who stood and applauded his fashion efforts.
The fall/winter fashion show ultimately turned into a big party in the lobby area as attendees were served food and drinks before being graced by live performances lasting a couple hours in the theater.
A night centered around rock aesthetics was wrapped up with performances by Iggy Pop, The Strokes, Interpol and The Kills.

Transgenders can apply online for police constable posts, will frame rules by Feb 2023: Maha to HC
- Country:
- India
The Maharashtra government on Friday told the Bombay High Court transgenders can apply for police constable posts and that it would frame rules setting standards for their physical tests by February 2023.
This comes a day after a division bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice Abhay Ahuja rapped the state government for being in deep slumber and lagging behind in framing rules to allow transgenders to participate in the recruitment process.
Advocate General Ashutosh Kumbhakoni on Friday told the bench the government would modify its online website to include a third drop down for transgenders in the category of 'sex' in the online application form.
Two posts for police constable would be kept vacant for transgenders, he told court.
''The last date to submit the forms for everyone is extended till December 15. By December 13, the third drop down would be added,'' Kumbhakoni said.
As per procedure, physical tests would be conducted once rules are framed, after which a written examination would be held for all candidates, he said. The bench, in its order, said the government shall frame rules by February 28, 2023 and then hold physical and written tests.
''It is directed that till rules are framed and physical tests are conducted, the state shall not proceed to conduct written tests,'' the bench said.
The court was hearing a petition filed by the Maharashtra government against the tribunal's order directing it to create a provision for transgenders in the application form for posts under the home department.
The Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal, while hearing applications filed by two transgenders, had on November 14 directed the state government to create a third option for transgenders apart from 'male' and 'female' in the application form for all recruitments under the home department.
The tribunal had also said the government should fix a criteria for physical standards and tests for transgenders. The HC, in its order, said the two transgenders who had filed the application before the tribunal could submit their applications offline.
The HC, however, stayed one part of the tribunal's order by which it had directed the government to create provision for transgenders to apply in all posts under the home department.
The bench said the tribunal had gone beyond its jurisdiction while passing such a directive.

ALICANTE, Spain (AP) — Spain, France and Portugal agreed Friday to build by 2030 a major undersea pipeline to transport hydrogen from the Iberian Peninsula to France and eventually the rest of Europe.
The pipeline is aimed at making the European Union's energy supply more independent, a goal expedited by the Russian invasion of Ukraine last February that precipitated an energy crisis.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said the pipeline, dubbed H2Med, will be able to convey some 2 million metric tons of hydrogen to France annually — 10% of the EU´s estimated hydrogen needs. The project is expected to cost 2.5 billion euros ($2.6 billion).
The announcement came after a meeting between Sánchez, his French and Portuguese counterparts and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in the eastern Spanish city of Alicante.
“Today, the Iberian Peninsula is becoming a major European energy gateway to the world,” Von der Leyen said at a joint press briefing.
French President Emmanuel Macron said H2Med, which replaces an earlier proposal to transport gas across the Pyrenees Mountains, will “take a new path through the Mediterranean and rely on a technology of the future, which is hydrogen.”
“It will also probably allow later other European interconnections toward some other countries which will want to get that hydrogen,” he added.
Portugal, Spain and France struck a broad deal on the plan in October. They hope to present it to the European Commission by Dec. 15 so it will be eligible for EU financing, which could represent as much as 50% of the cost.
The project will first connect two plants in northern Portugal and northern Spain and then involve a pipeline under the Mediterranean Sea from the northeastern Spanish port of Barcelona to France’s Marseille.
“We are strengthening European Union’s strategic autonomy and energy security at a moment when solidarity among Europeans is essential to reduce energy dependency on countries that use energy as a blackmailing tool,” Sánchez said, in reference to Russia and the gas crisis that has emerged since the war in Ukraine.
He said that with the project, they “aspire to be a benchmark not only in Europe, but also worldwide, in the field of hydrogen.”
Spain and Portugal had initially wanted to pipe gas across land to France but Paris rejected that proposal.
“Hydrogen is a game-changer for Europe,” said Von der Leyen.
She said the EU planned to produce 10 million metric tons of renewable hydrogen by 2030 and to import another 10 million tons.

A plane carrying basketball star Brittney Griner landed in the United States early on Friday, nearly 10 months after she was detained in Russia.
Griner was released in a prisoner swap with Russia in exchange for arms dealer Viktor Bout and was heading home on Thursday, ending what President Joe Biden called months of "hell" for her and her wife. Griner, 32, a two-time Olympic gold medalist and star of the Women's National Basketball Association's Phoenix Mercury, flew in to San Antonio, Texas. She was arrested on Feb. 17 at a Moscow airport after vape cartridges containing cannabis oil, which is banned in Russia, were found in her luggage.
As Griner was en route to the United States, Bout arrived in Moscow and hugged his mother and wife after stepping onto the tarmac, television images showed. The swap was a rare instance of cooperation between the United States and Russia since the invasion of Ukraine. The two countries also swapped prisoners in April when Russia released former U.S. Marine Trevor Reed and the United States released Russian pilot Konstantin Yaroshenko.

BERLIN (AP) — German authorities said Friday that judges have confirmed the arrest of 23 people detained earlier this week on suspicion of planning to topple the government, while the extradition of two others detained abroad is being sought.
Prosecutors said 22 German citizens and a Russian woman detained in a series of raids across Germany on Wednesday have appeared before a federal court for their arraignment and will remain in custody as the investigation into the case continues.
Extradition proceedings have been initiated in the case of two others, identified only as Maximilian E. and Frank H., who were detained in Italy and Austria respectively, prosecutors said.
German authorities described the suspects as being part of the far-right Reich Citizens movement. Its adherents deny the legitimacy of the present-day German constitution and government, claiming instead that the German empire, or Reich, of 1871 still exists.
The plotters allegedly wanted to install Heinrich XIII Prince Reuss, a 71-year-old businessman, as the head of a new government. Although Germany abolished any formal role for royalty over a century ago, he continues to use the title of “prince” due to his descent from the formerly noble House of Reuss.
The case has also put a spotlight once more on the far-right Alternative for Germany party. One of its former lawmakers, Birgit Malsack-Winkemann, was among those arrested. A Berlin judge, she was tapped to become justice minister if the coup succeeded, prosecutors said.
While the party, known by its German acronym AfD, has denounced the plot, rival politicians have called for its links with the Reich Citizens movement to be investigated.
Bavaria's governor Markus Soeder said Friday that Germany's domestic intelligence agency should step up its surveillance of AfD. Lars Klingbeil, the general-secretary of Chancellor Olaf Scholz's Social Democratic Party, accused AfD of being the “parliamentary interface for hatred, incitement and violence.”

67 journalists, media workers killed on the job this year
Russias war in Ukraine, chaos in Haiti and rising violence by criminal groups in Mexico contributed to a 30 spike in the number of journalists killed doing their work in 2022 over the previous year, according to a new report released Friday.

Russia's war in Ukraine, chaos in Haiti and rising violence by criminal groups in Mexico contributed to a 30% spike in the number of journalists killed doing their work in 2022 over the previous year, according to a new report released Friday. The International Federation of Journalists says that 67 journalists and media staff have been killed around the world so far this year, up from 47 last year.
The Brussels-based group also tallied 375 journalists currently imprisoned for their work, with the most in China, Myanmar and Turkey. Last year's report listed 365 journalists behind bars.
With the number of media workers killed on the rise, the group called on governments to take more concrete action to protect journalists and free journalism.
"The failure to act will only embolden those who seek to suppress the free flow of information and undermine the ability of people to hold their leaders to account, including in ensuring that those with power and influence do not stand in the way of open and inclusive societies," IFJ General Secretary Anthony Bellanger said in a statement.
More media workers were killed covering the war in Ukraine – 12 in total -- than in any other country this year, according to the IFJ. Most were Ukrainian but also included those of other nationalities such as American documentary filmmaker Brent Renaud. Many deaths occurred in the first chaotic weeks of the war, though threats to journalists continue as the fighting drags on. The IFJ said "the rule by terror of criminal organizations in Mexico, and the breakdown of law and order in Haiti, have also contributed to the surge in killings." 2022 has been one of the deadliest ever for journalists in Mexico, which is now considered the most dangerous country for reporters outside a war zone.
The group recorded five deaths of journalists amid this year's political crisis in Pakistan, and warned of new threats to journalists in Colombia and continued danger for journalists in the Philippines despite new leadership there.
It also called out the shooting of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh as she was reporting from a Palestinian refugee camp. The Arab network this week formally asked the International Criminal Court to investigate her death.
The Brussels-based IFJ represents 600,000 media professionals from trade unions and associations in more than 140 countries. The report was released on the eve of the United Nations' Human Rights Day.

There are those who think that SZA looks substantially different now than she did at the start of her career. Naturally, then, the singer has dealt with rumors about her getting A Brazilian butt lift (BBL) and other sorts of plastic surgery for years. Now, it appears she’s addressed all the talk on her just-released new album, S.O.S..
On the project’s title track, SZA says, “So classic, that ass so fat, it look natural, it’s not.” Later, at the start of “Conceited,” she sings, “I just got my body done, ain’t got no guilt about it / I just heard your opinion, I could’ve did without it.”
One thing SZA has talked about previously is her relationship with weight loss, like in 2017 when she defended Kendrick Lamar’s “Humble” lyrics about stretch marks. She said, “How is that misogyny if he’s supporting positive body image? I think that’s so weird, and it’s reaching. If you want to support women, you should support all shapes of women. I used to be 200 pounds, and I have stretch marks all over my body. I find more comfort and solace with Kendrick reinforcing that I’m beautiful. I don’t really feel anything misogynistic from that.”
Listen to “S.O.S.” and “Conceited” below.
S.O.S. is out now via Top Dawg Entertainment. Get it here.

BEIRUT (AP) — A Lebanese actress with links to the country’s controversial Central Bank governor was arrested on Friday, a judicial official and the state-run new agency said.
The development is the latest in the controversy surrounding the governor, Riad Salameh, who is being investigated for corruption as an economic meltdown and financial collapse convulse the tiny Mediterranean nation.
According to the National News Agency, a judge, acting on the request by Lebanon’s top financial prosecutor, ordered that Stephanie Saliba be placed in custody after she showed up earlier in the day at the prosecutors office in Beirut for questioning. The report gave no reason for her arrest.
A judicial official said investigative Judge Iman Abdullah questioned Saliba over “illicit enrichment and money laundering.” The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations, did not give further details.
Salameh is being investigated in several European nations, including Switzerland, France, Luxembourg, and Liechtenstein, for potential money laundering and embezzlement. He has repeatedly denied corruption charges.
Reports in Lebanese media say the governor gave Saliba expensive gifts.
Earlier this week, Ghada Aoun, an investigative judge at Mount Lebanon district court who has been investigating Salameh, issued a search warrant for Saliba's home as part of her investigation of the governor.
Aoun refused to comment on the case when contacted by The Associated Press on Friday, saying only: “I did not issue the arrest warrant. I know nothing.”
Since 2019, Lebanon has been in the grips of the worst economic and financial crisis in its modern history, rooted in decades of corruption and mismanagement by the country’s political class.
Many hold the 72-year-old Salameh responsible for the crisis, citing policies that drove up national debt and caused the Lebanese pound to lose 90% of its value against the dollar. The Central Bank governor, who has held the post for the past three decades, still enjoys the backing of top politicians.

Punjab CM meets Amit Shah, calls for harsher punishment to perpetrators of sacrilege crimes
Asserting that it is extremely necessary to maintain communal harmony in Punjab which is a border state, Mann sought the Union governments intervention for getting early Presidential assent for the bills.He said rigorous punishment is required to deter criminals trying to disturb communal peace and brotherhood in the state.Flagging another important issue, the chief minister said that as per international norms, construction can be made beyond 150 meters of Zero Line.
- Country:
- India
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Friday called on Union Home Minister Amit Shah and sought the Centre's intervention in getting presidential assent for two important bills passed by the state stipulating harsher punishment for perpetrators of heinous crimes of sacrilege.
Asserting that sacrilege of holy books is a major challenge in the state, Mann said it has been felt that the quantum of punishment for such crimes under the existing provisions of Sections 295 and 295-A in the Indian Penal Code is inadequate. Mann told Shah that the Punjab Assembly had passed 'The Indian Penal Code (Punjab Amendment) Bill, 2018' and 'The Code of Criminal Procedure (Punjab Amendment) Bill 201', which stipulates a punishment of up to life imprisonment for injury, damage or sacrilege to Sri Guru Granth Sahib, the Bhagwat Gita, the Quran and the Bible, committed with the intention to hurt people's religious feelings.
The Punjab chief minister said this amendment is in consonance with the principles of secularism enshrined in the Constitution. However, these Bills are pending the President's assent since October 2018, Mann was quoted as saying in a state government statement. Asserting that it is extremely necessary to maintain communal harmony in Punjab which is a border state, Mann sought the Union government's intervention for getting early Presidential assent for the bills.
He said rigorous punishment is required to deter criminals trying to disturb communal peace and brotherhood in the state.
Flagging another important issue, the chief minister said that as per international norms, construction can be made beyond 150 meters of Zero Line. But at some places in Punjab the border security fence is at a huge distance from the Zero Line, he said.
The issue has been a bone of contention between the state and the Centre for a few months now ever since the Centre notified its decision granting more powers to the BSF.
Mann said that since a huge chunk of farming land lies between the International Border and the existing fence, many farmers, who have to cross the border fence to cultivate their land, face a lot of hardships on a daily basis.
This also increases the workload of the Border Security Force and the government has to pay substantial compensation to farmers, the chief minister said.
Mann urged the Union Home Minister to explore the possibility of shifting the border fence towards the International Border, wherever possible, in the larger interest of farmers without compromising national security, the statement said.
He also urged Shah to provide funds liberally to ensure the modernization of the state police force so that it can effectively combat new challenges. Mann said the need of the hour is to provide ultra-modern gadgets and weapons to the state police force for checking infiltration and drone attacks from across the border.

NEW YORK (AP) — The CEO of Penguin Random House, the world's largest trade publisher, is stepping down. Markus Dohle's decision, effective at the end of the year, comes just weeks after a federal judge blocked the company's attempt to buy rival Simon & Schuster.
“Following the antitrust decision in the U.S. against the merger of Penguin Random House and Simon & Schuster, I have decided, after nearly 15 years on the Executive Board of Bertelsmann and at the helm of our global publishing business, to hand over the next chapter of Penguin Random House to new leadership," Dohle, 54, said a statement released Friday by parent company Bertelsmann, the German conglomerate.
Dohle is also leaving his seat on the Bertelsmann executive board. His departure was made at “his own request and on the best of mutual terms,” according to the Bertelsmann announcement. Dohle will be succeeded, on an interim basis, by Nihar Malaviya, 48, currently president and COO of Penguin Random House.
Dohle was named CEO when Penguin Random House was still Random House and presided over an era of enormous growth, notably the merger in 2012-13 with Penguin that made the new company the industry's unchallenged market leader. But the failed purchase of Simon & Schuster proved an embarrassment to Dohle, who had strongly pushed for the deal.
“We regret Markus Dohle’s decision to leave Bertelsmann and Penguin Random House," Christopher Mohn, chair of Bertelsmann's supervisory board, said in a statement. “He has sustainably focused Penguin Random House on growth and profitability. Under his leadership, our book division more than doubled its revenues and quintupled its profit. The fact that our global book publishing group is in such a strong position today is largely thanks to Markus Dohle.”

BRUSSELS (AP) — Police launched 16 raids across Belgium's capital Friday as part of a probe into corruption and money laundering involving the European Union parliament and an unidentified Gulf country, the federal prosecutor’s office said.
Four people were detained for questioning, and investigators recovered around 600,000 euros ($633,500) in cash and seized computer equipment and mobile telephones during the Brussels raids, the prosecutor’s office said in a statement.
The statement did not name the four but said one was a former member of the European Parliament.
The raids targeted in particular assistants working for EU lawmakers, the statement said. The EU assembly has 705 elected members from the bloc’s 27 member nations. Each lawmaker has a number of assistants.
Prosecutors said Belgium’s federal judicial police suspect the unidentified Gulf country of trying “to influence the economic and political decisions of the European Parliament.”
It said this was allegedly done “by paying large sums of money or offering large gifts to third parties with a significant political and/or strategic position within the European Parliament.”
The EU parliament’s press service declined to comment on the raids while an investigation was underway, but said the assembly was cooperating fully with Belgian police.

MOSCOW (AP) — A prominent Russian opposition figure was on Friday sentenced to 8 1/2 years in prison after being convicted on charges stemming from his criticism of the Kremlin’s action in Ukraine.
The sentence handed to Ilya Yashin, one of the few Kremlin critics to have stayed in Russia, offered the latest indication of an intensified crackdown on dissent by Russian authorities.
“With that hysterical sentence, the authorities want to scare us all but it effectively shows their weakness,” Yashin said in a statement through his lawyers after the judge passed the sentence. “Only the weak want to shut everyone's mouth and eradicate any dissent.”
Yashin was charged with spreading false information about the military — a new offense added to the country’s criminal law after Russian President Vladimir Putin sent troops into Ukraine.
The charges against him related to a YouTube livestream video in which he talked about Ukrainians being killed in the Kyiv suburb of Bucha. He rejects the charges as politically motivated.
During the trial at Moscow’s Meshchansky District Court, Yashin argued that his case has been fabricated and “has all the markings of illegal political persecution.” He noted that in the video he cited Russian official sources along with Ukrainian statements to give his audience an objective view.
In his final remarks Monday, he said that he considers it his duty to tell the truth. “I will not renounce the truth behind bars,” he said.
“When the hostilities began, I didn't hesitate for a second," Yashin said. "I felt I should remain in Russia, loudly tell the truth and try to do all what I could to end the bloodshed. It's better to sit behind bars for a decade and remain an honest person than silently feel shame for the blood spilled by your government.”

BERLIN (AP) — The U.N.’s top human rights official on Friday said Iran's first execution of a prisoner convicted for a crime allegedly committed during the country’s ongoing nationwide protests is “very troubling" and an attempt by Tehran to stifle further anti-government demonstrations.
The Iranian government's decision to carry out the death penalty was “clearly designed to send a chilling effect to the rest of the protesters,” Volker Türk told reporters at a news conference in Geneva.
“We will follow up with the authorities as well about this,” he said.
“I can only ... call on the authorities to immediately institute a moratorium on the death penalty, to release the ones who were arrested in connection with the protests and to work towards the abolition of the death penalty,” he added.
The execution of Mohsen Shekari was widely condemned abroad and comes as other detainees also face the possibility of the death penalty for their involvement in the protests, which began in mid-September.
Germany’s President Frank-Walter Steinmeier on Friday praised the protesters in Iran, and called on authorities in Tehran to end what he called their “inhumane” crackdown against their own population.
Steinmeier, who as Germany’s head of state holds a largely ceremonial role, cited reports that more than 500 people, including children, have been killed by government forces in recent months.
Speaking after a 90-minute meeting Friday with Iranians living in Germany, Steinmeier accused Iran's government of bringing “fear and terror” on its people and paid respect to the protesters in Iran.
“I admire your bravery,” he said. “We see your suffering. We see the crimes being done to you.”
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has also slammed Iran's first execution linked to the anti-government protests, saying the death penalty was being used “as an instrument of terror.”
Baerbock said late Thursday at a news conference in Dublin that the European Union would react with further “hard measures” against Iran.
Germany’s Foreign Ministry confirmed Friday that the Iranian ambassador in Berlin was summoned for talks following the execution of Shekari.

MOSCOW (AP) — A representative of one the the organizations sharing this year's Nobel Peace Prize said Friday that she thinks Russian President Vladimir Putin must face an international tribunal for the fighting in Ukraine.
Oleksandra Matviichuk of Ukraine's Center for Civil Liberties said during a news conference in Oslo, Norway, that “We must establish an international tribunal to hold Putin, (Belarusian President Alexander) Lukashenko and other war criminals accountable.”
In October, the Ukrainian group was named a co-winner of the 2022 peace price along with Russian human rights group Memorial and Ales Bialatski, head of the Belarusian human rights group Viasna.
Bialatski is jailed in Belarus and was unable to travel to receive the prize, which is due to be formally presented on Saturday.

UK govt: military personnel training to cover for striking Border Force workers
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak told reporters on Friday that many armed forces personnel were likely to miss Christmas "to help us deal with the disruption from strikes, whether that's manning border posts or driving ambulances." Asked if the military would definitely be deployed, a defence ministry source said they would be "held at readiness".
- Country:
- United Kingdom
British military personnel are training to carry out passport checks at Heathrow, Gatwick and other airports in case they need to be deployed in response to planned strike action by Border Force workers, the defense ministry said on Friday. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak told reporters on Friday that many armed forces personnel were likely to miss Christmas "to help us deal with the disruption from strikes, whether that's manning border posts or driving ambulances."
Asked if the military would definitely be deployed, a defence ministry source said they would be "held at readiness". Britain faces an unprecedented number of strikes in the run up to and during the Christmas holiday period, including nurses, ambulance staff and rail workers, as labour unions demand higher pay for their members to keep up with soaring inflation.
The PCS trade union, which represents thousands of Britain's Border Force workers at several major airports, said staff would strike for eight days this month in a dispute over pay. Interior minister Suella Braverman warned on Thursday that Border Force strikes may cause delays, adding that people should think carefully about their plans to fly abroad.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Wholesale prices in the United States rose 7.4% in November from a year earlier, a fifth straight slowdown and a hopeful sign that inflation pressures across the economy are continuing to cool.
The latest year-over-year figure was down from 8% in October and from a recent peak of 11.7% in March. On a monthly basis, the government said Friday that its producer price index, which measures costs before they reach consumers, rose 0.3% from October to November for the third straight month.
Rising prices are still straining Americans' finances, particularly for food, rent and services such as haircuts, medical care and restaurant meals. Yet several emerging trends have combined to slow inflation from the four-decade peak it reached during the summer. Gas prices have tumbled after topping out at $5 a gallon in June. Nationally, they averaged $3.33 a gallon Thursday, according to AAA, just below their average a year ago.
And the supply chain snarls that caused chronic transportation delays and shortages of many goods, from patio furniture to curtains, are unraveling. U.S. ports have cleared the backlog of ships that earlier this year took weeks to unload. And the cost of shipping a cargo container from Asia has fallen sharply back to pre-pandemic levels.
As a result, the prices of long-lasting goods, from used cars and furniture to appliances and certain electronics, are easing.
Friday’s producer price data captures inflation at an early stage of production and can often signal where consumer prices are headed. Next week, the government will report its highest-profile inflation figure, the consumer price index. The most recent CPI report, for October, showed a moderation in inflation, with prices up 7.7% from a year earlier. Though still high, that was lowest year-over-year figure since January.
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, in a speech last week, pointed to the decline in goods prices as an encouraging sign. Powell suggested that housing costs, including rent, which have been a major driver of inflation, should also start to slow next year.
The Fed chair also signaled that the central bank will likely raise its benchmark interest rate by a smaller increment when it meets next week. Investors foresee a half-point Fed hike, after four straight three-quarter-point increases.
Yet Powell noted that services prices, which reflect the largest sector of the U.S. economy, are still increasing at a historically fast pace. Rapidly rising wages are a key driver of services inflation, he noted. That’s because as wages rise, many businesses pass on their higher labor costs to their customers through higher prices, which drives up inflation.
Pay is still rising quickly and could continue to fuel higher inflation through most of next year. In last week’s jobs report for November, the government reported that average hourly pay jumped 5.1% from a year earlier, far above the pre-pandemic pace. Powell said wage gains closer to 3.5% would be needed to bring inflation down toward the Fed’s 2% annual target.

HC imposes Rs 20K costs on tenant for abusing court process, seeking to summon court staff as witness
- Country:

The Delhi High Court has slapped a tenant with a fine of Rs 20,000 for abusing the court process by seeking to summon certain court staff as witnesses in a pending matter relating to his landlord's plea to evict him from the property.
The high court said it was convinced that the tenant has wasted ''very precious quasi-judicial time'' of the competent authorities and of this court and held that his petition was completely untenable.
Justice Prathiba M Singh dismissed the petition with costs of Rs 20,000 to be deposited with the Delhi High Court Legal Services Committee within four weeks, failing which the man's defence shall stand closed before the slum authorities.
Initially, the landlady had filed a suit in the trial court seeking eviction of the tenant from her property in Sabzi Mandi's Ghanta Ghar area here but it was dismissed.
In the suit, the tenant had taken a defence that the civil suit was barred without obtaining a No-Objection Certificate (NOC) from the slum clearance authority.
In order to obtain the NOC and permission for filing of the suit, the landlady preferred a petition under The Slum Areas (Improvement and Clearance) Act and the tenant moved an application seeking summoning of several witnesses, including ahlmad and court staff of the trial court where his cases were pending.
As the application was dismissed by the authorities concerned, the tenant filed an appeal before the Financial Commissioner which also rejected it.
He challenged that order before the high court on the ground that the tenant was entitled to summon the official witnesses for the purposes of proving his case before the slum authority.
The high court said it has seen the nature of the matter and is constrained to observe that the ''tenant has completely abused the court process''.
''The witnesses which the tenant wishes to summon relate to the ahlmads and court staff from the courts where his own cases against his employers and other cases are pending. Those are judicial records for which the certified copies could have been easily obtained by the tenant,'' it said.
However, since April, 2019 by filing unnecessary applications, the tenant has in effect ensured that the proceedings initiated by the landlady are delayed indefinitely, the high court said.
It noted that the tenant's original application was filed in April, 2019 and thereafter, several orders were passed rejecting his applications and that the tenant has been unsuccessful before all the authorities concerned.
''Considering the nature of the witnesses summoned and the manner in which the tenant has delayed the adjudication of the no-objection by the slum authorities, this court is convinced that that the tenant has wasted very precious quasi-judicial time of the competent authorities and of this court.
''These being proceedings filed in which the petitioner (tenant) himself was the party, no question arises of summoning the said ahlmads and the court staff for proving these records,'' it said.
The high court added that considering the large number of cases listed before these courts, the ahlmads, record in-charge of the Tis Hazari Court, cannot be entangled in the proceedings between the tenant and the landlady in this manner.

DOHA, Qatar (AP) — Cristiano Ronaldo did not threaten to leave the World Cup after being dropped from the team to play Switzerland in the round of 16, Portugal coach Fernando Santos said Friday.
Santos did acknowledge his star player was “not happy” to be told he was not in the starting lineup in a private meeting on Tuesday after lunch, hours before the game.
Ronaldo’s replacement Gonçalo Ramos scored three goals in 6-1 win. The all-time leading scorer for Portugal came off the bench in the 74th minute.
“Cristiano obviously was not very happy about it. He told me ‘Do you really think it’s a good idea?’” Santos said one day before facing Morocco in the quarterfinals.
“He has never told me that he wanted to leave the national team,” Santos said in translated comments, dismissing reports in Portuguese media. “It is time we stopped with this conversation and the controversies. He celebrated all the goals that we scored."
“It is time for you to leave Ronaldo alone in acknowledgement of what he did for Portuguese football,” the coach said.
Santos declined to say if he would change the team and restore Ronaldo to face Morocco.

Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout, who was freed in a prisoner swap with U.S. basketball star Brittney Griner, told Kremlin-run media on Friday that Western countries are seeking to "destroy" and "divide" Russia.
"The West believes that they did not finish us off in 1990, when the Soviet Union began to disintegrate... They think that they can just destroy us again and divide Russia," he told state-run channel RT, known previously as Russia Today.
Bout, dubbed the "Merchant of Death" was released Thursday in a prisoner swap in Abu Dhabi involving WNBA star Griner, who was jailed in Russia for possessing vape cartridges with cannabis oil.
The 55-year-old was accused of arming rebels in some of the world's bloodiest conflicts.
He said in the interview that he had not encountered any "Russophobia" among his fellow inmates, adding that "basically almost all of my prisoner neighbors had some kind of sympathy for Russia."
He gave the interview to Maria Butina, a lawmaker in Russia's lower house of parliament who served 15 months in a U.S. prison for illegally acting as a foreign agent for Moscow.
Bout's notoriety inspired the Hollywood film "Lord of War," starring Nicolas Cage, in which the anti-hero escaped justice.
In the interview to RT, Bout criticized the film and said the U.S. film industry was responsible for producing pro-Washington propaganda.
"If they had come to me and asked, maybe they would have come up with a more interesting story. Hollywood these days — in my opinion — is just a propaganda department (of Washington)," he said.

In Photos: Basketball Star Griner Exchanged for Arms Dealer Bout in U.S.-Russia Prisoner Swap
American basketball star Brittney Griner returned to the United States after she was released from a Russian prison in exchange for an arms dealer known as the "Merchant of Death."
Griner's family and WNBA teammates rejoiced at the news that the star athlete's imprisonment in Russia on drug charges had come to an end.
Russia's Foreign Ministry meanwhile said it had worked hard "to rescue our compatriot" Viktor Bout, a notorious arms dealer accused of arming rebels in some of the world's bloodiest conflicts.
But the Biden administration's willingness to give up Bout for Griner — who was charged for carrying vape cartridges with a small quantity of cannabis oil — sparked worries that Washington's adversaries could capture American citizens abroad to use as bargaining chips.
And Moscow has dismissed the idea that the swap reflects any wider thaw in ties between the U.S. and Russia, which are at historic lows after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Russian state news agencies published photos of the exchange, as well as images of Griner in the remote prison colony where she served several weeks of her sentence before being freed:

Aaftab Poonawala should be hanged for killing my daughter: Shraddha Walkar's father; blames Vasai police for delay in action
Vikas Walkar, father of Shraddha Walkar who was murdered allegedly by her live-in partner Aaftab Poonawala in Delhi, on Friday demanded that the accused be hanged to death for brutally killing his daughter.Blaming the Vasai police in Maharashtra, he said his daughter would have been alive had they acted on her complaint against Poonawala in 2020.
- Country:
- India
Vikas Walkar, father of Shraddha Walkar who was murdered allegedly by her live-in partner Aaftab Poonawala in Delhi, on Friday demanded that the accused be hanged to death for ''brutally killing'' his daughter.
Blaming the Vasai police in Maharashtra, he said his daughter would have been alive had they acted on her complaint against Poonawala in 2020. He also demanded that an inquiry be conducted against the family members of the accused and they be given strictest possible punishment.
Poonawala allegedly strangled Shraddha and cut her body into 35 pieces which he kept in a 300-litre fridge for almost three weeks at his residence in Mehrauli in south Delhi in May this year, before dumping them across the city over several days. He was arrested in Delhi in November.
''Aaftab Poonawala killed my daughter brutally, he should get a strict punishment. He should be hanged to death for killing my daughter...There should be a stern action against whosoever is involved in the case,'' Walkar told reporters here after meeting Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis along with Bharatiya Janata Party leader Kirit Somaiya. He was addressing a press conference for the first time after his daughter's sensational murder came to light in November.
''There should be an inquiry against Poonawala's family members, including his parents and brother, and they should be given maximum punishment. Whoever is involved in this conspiracy of killing, should also be punished,'' he said.
''Due to the death of my daughter, my family members and I are sad and cannot forget the incident. Due to stress, I am also feeling unwell. Whatever happened to her is very saddening and should not be happen with anybody else,'' he said.
Walkar said Delhi and Vasai police were conducting a joint probe into the case, which was now going on properly. ''But I was annoyed by the non-cooperation of Tulinj and Manikpur police in Vasai (town in Palghar district)...Had they acted swiftly, my daughter would have been alive now or there would have been much help in collecting evidence,'' he added.
He said he has full faith in law and judiciary.
Walkar said his daughter and Poonawala first met on a dating app. ''Due to some mobile apps, people are facing problems and there should be some control on it. There should be a rethink or a debate on the freedom that a person enjoys after completing 18 years of age. They should be counselled and there should be control on them,'' he said.
There should be religious awareness as well, he said without elaborating further.
He said he had told his daughter that he was against her relationship with Poonawala. ''I told her so and asked her to rethink. But she said she wanted to live with him (Poonawala) and left the house. She said she is an adult, and I was helpless,'' he said, adding she did not share anything about facing torture from Poonawala.
He said he tried to speak to her several times after she started living with Poonawala, but she did not talk much. ''I last spoke to Shraddha in mid-2020, when I asked how and where she was, and what she was doing. To that, she said that she was alright and was staying in Bangalore,'' he said.
''I had spoken to Aaftab Poonawala on September 26 and had asked him the whereabouts of my daughter. But he said he did not know where she was. Then I told him that since she was staying with him for the last three years, it was his responsibility to look after her. But he did not reply to that,'' he said.
When asked whether he visited Poonawala's residence (in Vasai), he said he had been to the place once.
''There, I did not receive a proper answer from his mother,'' he said. Walkar demanded an inquiry against the police officials in Vasai, Nalasopara and Tulinj (in Palghar district) for their delay in taking action on his daughter's complaint against Poonawala. Shraddha Walkar had submitted a written complaint to Tulinj police in November 2020, in which she alleged: ''Poonawala has been abusing me and beating me up. Today, he tried to kill me by suffocating me and he scares and blackmails me that he will kill me, cut me up in pieces and throw me anyway. It's been six months he has been hitting me. But I did not have the guts to go to police because he would threaten to kill me.'' Walkar said Delhi Governor, DCP Delhi South and Maharashtra deputy CM Fadnavis have assured justice to his family.
''I have been informed that the government is going to appoint a lawyer for me in the case, but I also have appointed a lawyer Seema Kushwah, who is from Delhi in this case,'' he said.

Russia’s largest social network VKontakte has started labeling LGBT-themed pages on its site with warnings that they may violate draconian legislation signed into law this week banning the depiction of non-heterosexual relationships and identities.
“There may be controversial material in this community,” a warning label displayed to potential visitors reads before allowing users the option to enter or move on. “Some community materials may be considered inadmissible under Russian law.”
Russian bookstores and libraries were reported to have begun pulling LGBT-themed works from their catalogs to avoid being shut down within hours of Russian President Vladimir Putin signing the controversial new law.
Bookstores, media outlets, film studios, TV stations, and video game makers from now on all face steep fines for disseminating so-called “LGBT propaganda” to either adults or minors.
St. Petersburg-based tech firm VK, which owns VKontakte, said that its failure to comply with the new law would put it at risk of being blocked in Russia.
“Therefore, when receiving an official request, we will be forced to restrict access to pages prohibited in Russia by court order,” VK said in a Thursday blog post.
VK is expected to buy Russia’s largest search engine Yandex in the near future, where it could potentially introduce similar warning labels once the deal is finalized.
The sale of Yandex’s news aggregator to VK has also sparked fears that Russian users could lose access to some of the few remaining independent media outlets that have not yet been banned or shut down since Russia invaded Ukraine in February.
VK, whose CEO Vladimir Kirienko is the son of Sergei Kirienko, the deputy head of the presidential administration, currently controls the Mail.ru email and news services, and the VKontakte and Odnoklassniki social networks, among others.

Sex work amendment bill published for public comment
The Minister emphasised that although current legislation and municipal by-laws continue to criminalise the adult practice, this has not “stopped the selling or buying of sex, nor has it been effective”.
- Country:
- South Africa
The Criminal Law (Sexual Offences and Related Matters) Amendment Bill of 2022, which seeks to decriminalise sex work, has been published and is now open for public comment.
The bill proposes the repealing of the Sexual Offences Act (previously Immorality Act), 1957 (Act No. 23 of 1957) and Section 11 of the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences and Related Matters) Amendment Act, 2007 (Act No. 32 of 2007) to decriminalise the sale and purchase of the adult sexual service.
Justice and Constitutional Development Minister, Ronald Lamola – who addressed media on progress on the bill on Friday – explained that the proposals of the bill are a response to Pillar 3 of government's National Strategic Plan (NSP) on Gender-Based Violence and Femicide.
"Pillar 3 of the National Strategic Plan… contains a list of key interventions, key activities and indicators. One of the key activities under Pillar 3 is the finalisation of the legislative process to decriminalise sex work.
"This follows the view that the ongoing criminalisation of sex work contributes to GBVF, as it leaves sex workers unprotected by the law, unable to exercise their rights as citizens and open to abuse generally, not least when they approach State facilities for assistance," Lamola said.
The Minister emphasised that although current legislation and municipal by-laws continue to criminalise the adult practice, this has not "stopped the selling or buying of sex, nor has it been effective".
"If anything, [criminalisation] has led to higher levels of violence against sex workers. In addition, criminalisation affects predominantly women, with the female sex worker usually being the one who is confronted by law enforcement, but the male client isn't. The National Prosecuting Authority has also indicated a very low percentage of cases or prosecutions for such transgressions," he said.
As explained by Lamola, the bill has clauses that seek to:
Repeal the Sexual Offences Act, 1957 and section 11 of the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences and Related Matters) Amendment Act, 2007.
Deal with the expungement of criminal records of persons convicted of, engaged in, rendering or receiving sexual services from persons 18 years or older.
Handle the transitional provisions pertaining to criminal proceedings relating to sexual services rendered or received by persons 18 years or older, which were instituted prior to the commencement of this Act.
"It is hoped that decriminalisation will minimise human rights violations against sex workers. It would also mean better access to health care and reproductive health services for sex workers, as well as compliance with health and safety and labour legislation. It would also afford better protection for sex workers, better working conditions and less discrimination and stigma," Lamola said.
Regulation
Lamola told the briefing that the bill will follow a "two-step approach", with decriminalisation preceding regulation of the industry.
"It [is] important to deal with decriminalisation first, so as to ensure that sex workers are no longer criminally charged. This will mean greater protection for sex workers. Decriminalisation will destigmatise sex work and enable access to basic services and protection by law enforcement agencies. Existing laws prohibiting children from selling sex and trafficking for sexual purposes remain in force.
"With regards to regulation, municipal by-laws would still be able to provide where solicitation in public spaces may or may not take place, for example, prohibiting the selling of sex in certain areas. This is similar to the prohibition on the location of taverns and shebeens, where there can be restrictions imposed to prohibit trade in residential neighbourhoods, near schools and/or religious buildings," he explained.
Public comments on the bill can be sent on or before 31 January 2023 to the department's Chief Directorate: Legislative Development in the following ways:
Comments via post can be addressed to: The Director-General: Justice and Constitutional Development, Private Bag X 81, Pretoria, 0001. Marked for the attention of Tsietsi Sebelemetja.
Comments can be e-mailed to Bills1@justice.gov.za.
They can be faxed to 012 406 4632.

SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
Special Weather Statement
National Weather Service RENO NV
518 AM PST Fri Dec 9 2022
...Significant Sierra Winter Storm this Weekend...
A significant winter storm is poised to impact the Sierra this
weekend with the potential for several feet of snow from Friday
night into late Sunday. Travel across the Sierra is not
recommended this weekend and may be impossible at times. If you
choose to do so, make sure to have proper supplies and plan for
long delays. Winds will remain strong and gusty in the High Sierra
with periods of stronger winds surfacing in valley locations.
Areas of whiteout conditions will be possible across the Sierra on
Saturday due to strong winds and heavy snowfall.
Lower western Nevada valleys could see spillover rainfall
Saturday as snow levels rise to 5000-6000 feet. Periods of
moderate to heavy rainfall during this timeframe could create some
nuisance flooding for urban and poor drainage areas. Snow levels
will then rapidly drop to all western Nevada valley floors by
Sunday morning which will provide the best chances for a few
inches snow accumulation and travel impacts across lower valleys.

UN rights chief to follow up on abuse concerns about China
We will, and I will, personally continue engaging with the authorities, he said, adding Hope springs eternal for changes. Beijing rejected the report when it was released, alleging it was part of a Western campaign to smear Chinas reputation.
- Country:
- Germany
The top United Nations human rights official said Friday that his office will continue reaching out to Beijing about allegations of abuse in China. The office of former U.N. human rights chief Michelle Bachelet published a report in August stating that China's detention of Uyghurs and other mostly Muslim ethnic groups in the western region of Xinjiang may constitute crimes against humanity. Bachelet's successor, High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk, called the report "a very important one" that "highlighted very serious human rights concerns." "My focus is on following up on the recommendations that are contained in the report," Türk said at a news conference in Geneva. "We will, and I will, personally continue engaging with the authorities," he said, adding: ''Hope springs eternal for changes." Beijing rejected the report when it was released, alleging it was part of a Western campaign to smear China's reputation.

IPID Amendment Bill published for public comment
The Constitutional Court then ordered Parliament to address the defects in the legislation.
- Country:
- South Africa
The Civilian Secretariat for Police Service has called on the public to submit comments on the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) Amendment Bill.
"The IPID Amendment Bill of 2022 proposes the entrenchment of the institutional and operational independence of IPID, making it clear that IPID must be impartial and must exercise its powers and functions without fear, favour or prejudice," the Secretariat said in a statement.
It said this was in order to give effect to the "McBride judgement" where Judge Bosielo made certain pronouncements concerning the importance of the independence of IPID, in order for IPID to function independently.
The Constitutional Court declared as invalid certain provisions of the Independent Police Investigative Directorate Act, which authorised the Minister of Police to suspend the Executive Director, to take disciplinary steps against the Executive Director following suspension, and to remove the Executive Director from office.
The Constitutional Court then ordered Parliament to address the defects in the legislation.
The Bill also proposes a more transparent and open process for the appointment of the Executive Director and also a detailed and thorough process for integrity testing of IPID officials.
The Bill further provides for the amendment of other provisions of the Principal Act, so as to ensure that IPID executes its mandate effectively and efficiently.
The draft Bill can be found at www.policesecretariat.gov.za.
Members of the public are invited to submit their comments on or before 15 January 2022. The comments can be submitted via email to comments.IpidBill@csp.gov.za or via post for attention of Mr. M Ntwana at Civilian Secretariat for Police Service, Private Bag X922, Pretoria, 0001.
Comments can also be hand-delivered at the Civilian Secretariat for Police Service, Fedsure Forum Building, 2nd Floor, Corner of Pretorius and Lilian Ngoyi Streets, Pretoria.
General enquiries regarding the draft bill can be submitted to Mr Jacob Setouto via Jacob.Setouto@csp.gov.za.

Thane: Woman held for running sex racket, four persons rescued
- Country:
- India
A 24-year-old woman was arrested for allegedly running a sex racket in Thane in Maharashtra, a police official said on Friday.
The woman was held by a team of the Thane police's Anti Human Trafficking Cell on a tip off on Thursday, said Senior Inspector Mahesh Patil.
''Four women, including two sisters, in the 17-25 age group who were being pushed into the flesh trade by the accused have been rescued. She has been charged under Indian Penal Code and Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act,'' he added.

Russia pardoned Zambian prisoner to fight in Ukraine -Zambia foreign minister
Russia previously announced that Lemekhani Nyirenda had been killed on the battlefield in Ukraine in September, prompting Zambia to ask how he had ended up fighting in the war. Kakubo said Russia's Foreign Affairs Minister Sergei Lavrov told him by telephone that Nyirenda was pardoned on Aug. 23 to join the military operation, in exchange for an amnesty.
- Country:
- Zambia
Russia has told Zambia it pardoned a Zambian prisoner to go and fight in Ukraine, where he was killed, the southern African country's Foreign Affairs Minister Stanley Kakubo said on Friday. Russia previously announced that Lemekhani Nyirenda had been killed on the battlefield in Ukraine in September, prompting Zambia to ask how he had ended up fighting in the war.
Kakubo said Russia's Foreign Affairs Minister Sergei Lavrov told him by telephone that Nyirenda was pardoned on Aug. 23 to join the military operation, in exchange for an amnesty. "We were informed that Russia allows for prisoners to be provided an opportunity for pardon in exchange for participation in the special military operation," Kakubo said.
According to Nyirenda's father, he had been serving a nine-year jail sentence on the outskirts of Moscow for a drug offence when he was "conscripted" to fight. Kakubo said Nyirenda's remains had arrived in Moscow on Friday and were expected in Zambia on Sunday.
Russia has also informed Zambia that money owed to Nyirenda, together with all the documentation relating to his amnesty, recruitment and death, would be handed to a Zambian representative who would accompany the body, the minister said. Russian businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin, a close ally of President Vladimir Putin, said last month the Zambian student had been fighting for his Wagner Private Military Group.
The Wagner group has launched large recruitment drives in Russian prisons, looking to send more fighters into Ukraine to support the faltering Russian invasion.

MP: Indore civic body plans to issue green bonds to raise Rs 250 cr for solar power plant
- Country:
- India
In a first, the Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC) plans to list green bonds as a public issue to raise Rs 250 crore for setting up a 60 mega watt (MW) solar power plant, an official said on Friday.
The power generated at the solar plant will be used to pull water from Narmada river in Jalud village of neighbouring Khargone district and supply it to Indore, Divyank Singh, the chief executive officer of Indore Smart City Development Limited told PTI.
The Madhya Pradesh government had given a nod to the IMC's green bond policy and efforts were initiated on Friday to get the Securities and Exchange Board of India's (SEBI) clearance for the project, he said.
"Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be in Indore on Pravasi Bharatiya Divas on January 9. We will try our best to have his presence during the listing of green bonds," Singh said.
Apart from Indore, people from other parts of the country can invest in the eight-year duration bonds and earn attractive returns.
Indore, which has bagged the tag of the cleanest city in the country six consecutive times, has a population of 35 lakh and is largely dependent on Narmada river for its water needs.
According to officials, the IMC has to foot a heavy bill of Rs 25 crore every month to bring water to Indore from Jalud village, which is 80 km away, and the solar power plant will help cut the expenditure.

WRAPUP 5-Russia shells eastern front, Ukraine says, as war aims appear to shift
Five civilians were killed and two wounded in Ukrainian-controlled parts of Donetsk over the previous day, he said early on Friday. "The entire front line is being shelled," he said, adding that Russian troops were also trying to advance near Lyman, which was recaptured by Ukrainian forces in November, one of a number of battlefield setbacks suffered by Russia in the past few months.
- Country:
- Russian Federation
Russian forces have shelled the entire front line in the Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine, Ukrainian officials said, part of what appears to be the Kremlin's scaled-back ambition to secure only the bulk of territory it has claimed. The fiercest fighting was near the towns of Bakhmut and Avdiivka, the region's governor Pavlo Kyrylenko said in a television interview. Five civilians were killed and two wounded in Ukrainian-controlled parts of Donetsk over the previous day, he said early on Friday.
"The entire front line is being shelled," he said, adding that Russian troops were also trying to advance near Lyman, which was recaptured by Ukrainian forces in November, one of a number of battlefield setbacks suffered by Russia in the past few months. In Bakhmut and other parts of the Donetsk region that neighbours Luhansk province, Ukrainian forces countered with barrages from rocket launchers, a Reuters witness said.
"The Russians have intensified their efforts in Donetsk and Luhansk," Ukrainian presidential adviser Oleksiy Arestovych said in a video post. "They are now in a very active phase of attempting to conduct offensive operations. We are advancing nowhere but, rather, defending, destroying the enemy's infantry and equipment wherever it tries to advance."
In an early Friday report, the Ukrainian general staff said its forces had attacked Russian positions and troop assembly points in at least half a dozen towns in the south of Ukraine. Russian losses amounted to about 240 wounded, with three ammunition depots and about various military equipment destroyed, it added.
Reuters was not able to verify battlefield reports. WAR AIMS CHANGED?
President Vladimir Putin has given conflicting statements on the goals of the war but is now clear the aims include some expansion of Russia's borders. This contrasts with comments at the start of Russia's "special military operation" in February, when he said his plans did not include occupying Ukrainian land. Putin on Friday repeated his accusation that the West was "exploiting" Ukraine and using its people as "cannon fodder" in a conflict with Russia, and said the West's desire to maintain its global dominance was increasing the risks of conflict.
"They deliberately multiply chaos and aggravate the international situation," Putin said in a video message to a summit of defence ministers from the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and a group of ex-Soviet states. The Kremlin said on Thursday it was set on securing at least the bulk of the territories in east and south Ukraine, but appeared to give up on seizing other land in the west and northeast that Ukraine has recaptured.
Russia proclaimed in October that it had annexed four provinces shortly after holding so-called referendums that were rejected as bogus and illegal by Ukraine, the West and most countries at the United Nations. While Russia made clear it wanted to take full control of Donetsk and Luhansk - two largely Russian-speaking regions collectively known as the Donbas - it left unclear how much of the regions of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson it was annexing.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy says his troops will eventually drive Russia from all captured territory, including the Crimea peninsula annexed by Russia in 2014. Ukraine's SBU security service accused a senior Orthodox Christian cleric on Friday of engaging in anti-Ukrainian activity by supporting Russian policies in social media posts.
The Orthodox Church in Russia has backed Moscow's invasion, and Kyiv says some clerics in Ukraine could be taking orders from Moscow. Under tough new legislation, a Russian court found opposition politician Ilya Yashin guilty on Friday of spreading "fake information" about the army, Russian news agencies reported. Sentencing was due later in the day.
Yashin had discussed in a YouTube video evidence uncovered by Western journalists of Russian war crimes in Ukraine. Moscow denies committing war crimes. PRISONER SWAP
In a rare instance of cooperation amid the war, Russia freed U.S. basketball player Brittney Griner in return for the release of Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout. A plane carrying Griner landed in the United States early on Friday, nearly 10 months after she was detained in Russia on drug charges, while television images showed Bout being hugged by his mother and wife after landing in Moscow.
However, the Kremlin said the prisoner swap should not be seen as a step towards improving bilateral ties between Moscow and Washington, saying they remained "in a sorry state". The White House said the prisoner swap would not change its commitment to the people of Ukraine.
Russian and U.S. representatives were expected to meet in Istanbul on Friday to discuss a set of "difficult questions" including visas and embassy staffing levels, Russia's TASS news agency reported, citing an unnamed source. The U.S. House of Representatives passed a defence bill on Thursday that provides Ukraine with at least $800 million in additional security assistance next year.
Ukraine's Zelenskiy in a video address late on Thursday accused Russian forces of leaving landmines, tripwire mines, mined buildings, cars and infrastructure in places they had abandoned under Ukrainian military pressure. "This is perhaps even fiercer and more devious than missile terror," said Zelenskiy, who paid tribute to four policemen killed by landmines in Kherson province.
"For there is no system against mines that could destroy at least part of the threat as our anti-aircraft systems do."

SAPS festive session plan to focus on integrated crime prevention
To achieve this, Masemola said at a festive season operations briefing on Friday, police have identified six focus areas of priority.
- Country:
- South Africa
National Police Commissioner, General Fannie Masemola, says the South African Police Service (SAPS) festive session plan will focus on intensified and integrated crime prevention and combatting operations.
This, he said, will heighten and increase police visibility.
To achieve this, Masemola said at a festive season operations briefing on Friday, police have identified six focus areas of priority.
During this period, he said SAPS members will continue to intensify the fight against crime through "intensified, integrated crime prevention and crime combatting operations, as we strive to heighten and increase police visibility throughout the country".
"Our apex priority remains the well-being and safety of residents and tourists alike during and beyond this period.
"Our safer festive season operations, which are already in full swing are characterised by heightened crime awareness campaigns, foot, vehicle and air-support patrols, stop and searches, arrests, vehicle checkpoints and roadblocks," said Masemola.
He said maximum resources have already been deployed to assert the authority of the State to "regain public confidence, and ensure that our communities are and feel safe and secure".
Through the National Joint Operational and Intelligence Structure (Natjoints), police have identified six focus areas of priority.
All provinces, Masemola said, are conducting operations in line with the National Policing Strategy.
"Our six focus areas include intensifying our campaigns and police actions towards addressing gender-based violence and femicide, as we continue to embark on the tracking and tracing of wanted suspects.
"As an organisation, we remain committed to ensuring the safety of women, children and vulnerable groups, not only during this 16 Days [of Activism for no Violence against Women and Children] period but throughout the year," said the General.
The second focus area concentrates on intensifying efforts to combat aggravated robberies such as cash-in-transit (CIT) heists, ATM bombings, carjacking, and robberies at residential and business premises.
"We all know that this period is characterised by an abundance of cash and influx of people at shopping centres and malls. This is the time where people share money and their hard earned savings, but it is also a period where criminals pounce on these unsuspecting victims to rob them off their belongings.
"Our third focus area is on enhancing border security, as we know that this is a period where we witness an influx of people utilising our borders to enter or exit the country. We have been intensifying our search operations at the borders where we are focusing on preventing and combatting human and drug trafficking, as well as illegal crossings," said Masemola.
The fourth focus area looks into the enforcement of legislation to decisively address the proliferation of illegal firearms, second-hand goods, liquor enforcement, as well as the enforcement of the Safety at Sports and Recreational Events (SASREA) Act.
Masemola said compliance inspections at establishments that sell liquor, including taverns, shebeens and night clubs are being intensified to ensure compliance with relevant legislation, including the trading hours.
"The fifth area focuses on the enforcement of by-laws targeting hijacked buildings, destruction of essential infrastructure, extortion as well as unlawful sale and use of fire crackers.
"The sixth focus area looks into road safety where we are jointly conducting roadblocks and vehicle checkpoints, together with the metro police departments, as well as provincial and national traffic police," he said.
He said SAPS has been hard at work in consistently developing and reviewing interventions in response to the analysis of crime patterns and emerging crime trends in the country

Govt to intervene in Colesberg housing projects
The Minister warned against the illegal occupation of houses, as it disadvantages the rightful owners and can have “serious legal consequences for offenders.”
- Country:
- South Africa
Human Settlements Minister, Mmamoloko Kubayi, has assured the community of Colesberg in the Northern Cape that government will intervene in blocked and incomplete housing projects.
"In an effort to deliver more houses in the Northern Cape, the Department of Human Settlements is considering increasing the budget allocation of the Provincial Department of Human Settlements in the next financial year, 2023/2024," Kubayi said.
Kubayi made the commitment during a District Development Model (DDM) Community Imbizo and Service Fair at the Toto Mayaba Stadium, in Colesburg, on Thursday.
The Imbizo was part of government interventions to improve and accelerate service delivery through the District Development Model.
It aimed to unpack governmental programmes and plans to enhance integrated service delivery and job creation opportunities, as well as engaging the community members on the provision of basic services, including water and sanitation and human settlements.
Kubayi, who is the District Champion of Pixley Ka Seme District Municipality, said there has been a decision taken at a recent meeting with MECs that senior citizens will be prioritised going forward.
"Elderly citizens from 70 years old should be on top of our beneficiary housing waiting list. These are our mothers and fathers that raised us. They deserve our utmost attention," the Minister said.
The engagement with communities from various municipalities followed a meeting attended by all three spheres of government.
Kubayi also visited housing project sites which remain incomplete. This included, among others, the Oubox Housing Project located in the Umsombonvu Municipality.
Some of the incomplete housing units have either been vandalised or illegally occupied.
The Minister warned against the illegal occupation of houses, as it disadvantages the rightful owners and can have "serious legal consequences for offenders."
Outlining government's interventions to improve and accelerate service delivery through the DDM, a concerned Kubayi said it is unfortunate that houses have remained unfinished since 2016 and there is a risk that some of them may end up being used for criminal activities.
"We have agreed that National and Provincial Departments of Human Settlements will work together to finish the work started, but most importantly, we must pay more attention to increasing the number of homes built to cater for people who qualify, alongside other amenities," the Minister said.
During Imbizo, the Minister, together with Northern Cape Cooperative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs MEC, Bentley Vass, Pixley Kaseme District Municipality Mayor, Rhoode Itumeleng, Umsobomvu Local Municipality Mayor, Mzwandile Toto, and Emthanjeni Local Municipality Mayor Lulamile Nkumbi also handed over title deeds to the beneficiaries of the fully subsidised government houses.
The three spheres of government committed to urgently deal with other service delivery issues raised by the community members.

Karnataka Health Minister Dr K Sudhakar Friday said that the number of people suffering from neurological and mental health issues has increased in the past 10 years. He was speaking at a function at the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS) in Bengaluru held to celebrate the progress of Karnataka Brain Health Initiative (KaBHI) which was launched in January.
Asserting that a person is completely healthy only if his or her mental health is good, the minister pointed out there has been an increase in dementia, strokes and head injury cases. “According to statistics, about 7 to 8 per cent of deaths are due to mental health and brain related issues which is the second leading cause of death. It is not important how long we live, what is important is how well we live. Brain-related illnesses are also increasing due to non-communicable diseases,” the minister said.
KaBHI is being jointly implemented by Karnataka health department and NIMHANS with the guidance from NITI (National Institution for Transforming India) Aayog with a goal to develop an evidence-based public health model for prevention and equitable care for neurological disorders across primary, secondary and tertiary levels of health care.
Under the programme, 122 primary health care (PHC) doctors from the three districts of Kolar, Chikkaballapura, and Bangalore South were trained by NIMHANS specialists to treat common neurological diseases.
“The Government of India is conducting a national campaign on mental illness through the T-Manas tele-counseling platform. The T-Manas platform launched by the central government was based on the E-Manas platform launched by Karnataka earlier. The state government is already doing a pilot project in Chikkaballapura, Kolar, Bengaluru Rural districts with the help of NIMHANS through hub and spoke model. A plan has been made to make this service available in all parts of the state in the coming days,” Sudhakar said.
He also said that under the KaBHI, ASHA workers will also be trained to counsel and treat those in distress.
Dr P Rajani, Deputy Director, Department of Health and Family Welfare, Karnataka said that there has been a significant improvement in terms of the knowledge of the 122 PHC doctors who received training in neurological disorders. “We have also set up Brain Health Clinics which is one of its kind developed for neuro care at secondary care hospitals. These clinics ensure that patients with the neurological disease receive treatment and appropriate referral for chronic conditions at district general hospitals,” Dr P Rajani said.

- AUD/USD gains traction for the third successive day, though lacks follow-through buying.
- Bets for less aggressive Fed rate hikes weigh on the USD .and act as a tailwind for the pair.
- The upside seems capped as traders await the key US CPI and FOMC meeting next week.
The AUD/USD pair prolongs its positive trend for the third successive day and maintains its bid tone through the mid-European session. The pair, however, remains below its highest level since September 13 touched earlier this week and is currently placed just a few pips below the 0.6800 round-figure mark.
A combination of factors drags the US Dollar back closer to over a five-month low touched earlier this week, which, in turn, is seen offering support to the AUD/USD pair. Expectations that the Fed will slow the pace of its policy tightening and deliver a relatively smaller 50 bps rate hike in December keep the US Treasury bond yields depressed. This, along with a generally positive tone around the equity markets, undermines the safe-haven greenback and benefits the risk-sensitive Aussie.
The easing of COVID-19 restrictions in China remains supportive of the recent recovery in the global risk sentiment. Furthermore, a fresh leg up in commodity prices provides an additional lift to the resources-linked Australian Dollar. That said, growing worries about a deeper global economic downturn might keep a lid on any optimistic move and act as a headwind for the AUD/USD pair. Traders might also prefer to wait on the sidelines ahead of next week's key macro data/event risks from the US.
The latest US consumer inflation figures for November will be released on Tuesday. This will be followed by the highly-anticipated FOMC monetary policy meeting on December 13-14. The outcome should influence the near-term USD price dynamics and provide a fresh directional impetus to the AUD/USD pair. In the meantime, traders on Friday will look to the US economic docket, featuring the Producer Price Index (PPI) and the Prelim Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index, for short-term opportunities.

Crude oil prices fell below $79/bbl, erasing gains for this year. However, strategists at ING expect Brent Crude Oil to average $104/bbl in 2023.
Tighter oil market
“We believe that Russian supply will fall significantly early next year – in the region of 1.8MMbbls/d year-on-year in the first quarter. This supply loss coupled with continued OPEC+ supply cuts suggests that the oil market will tighten over the course of 2023. US supply growth will not be able to fill the gap, with US producers showing a lot more capital discipline.”
“We expect ICE Brent to average $104/bbl next year.”

It’s the digital era and we hear so many stories of couples meeting on Instagram. But did you know that one of the most talked about royal couples, Harry and Meghan, also met on Instagram? Well, we didn’t. In the new documentary series that was released on Netflix recently, Meghan Markle revealed that she met Prince Harry on the social media site.
In the docuseries, Harry and Markle revealed how their love story started in the summer of 2016. “I was scrolling through my feed, and one of my friends and someone who was a friend had this video of the two of them, like a Snapchat,” Harry said.

Then he revealed that after seeing a photo of Markle in Snapchat’s dog filter, he recalled saying, “Who is THAT?” Then, Markle revealed how her friend told her that Prince Harry was showing interest in her. “I said, ‘Who’s that?’” she recalled. “I asked if I could see his feed. That, to me, was the best barometer. So I went through, and it was just like beautiful photography and all these environmental shots and the time he was spending in Africa,” added Markle.
It was then that they exchanged phone numbers and decided to stay in touch. Soon after, Meghan Markle planned a trip to Europe with her friends but she had no plans of getting into a relationship. Markle’s friend Lucy Fraser, who also appeared in the docuseries, said, “(Meghan) had planned a single girl summer, and she had a lot of plans of going around Europe.”

But fate had other plans, and the rest is history. The couple married in May 2018 at London’s St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle in a lavish ceremony attended by royals and celebrities alike.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been living in California since early 2020, the same year they stepped back from their duties as senior royal family members. They made their exit official in February 2020. The couple has two kids – Archie and Lillibet.

The trailer of Kaapa was released on Friday. Helmed by Shaji Kailas, the gangster drama stars Prithviraj Sukumaran in the lead role.
The trailer gives us a glimpse of a hardcore gangster drama. The film revolves around the battle exploits of a criminal named Madhu, played by Prithviraj. Set in Thiruvananthapuram, the film follows Madhu’s transformation from one of the expendable henchmen to rising through the ranks of the criminal world through sheer grit, determination and a massive appetite for violence.
The trailer of Kaapa packs a lot of high-octane moments. The mood and the scale of the film also feel very strong and large. It seems beyond all the blood and gore, the movie dwells on the violent history of Thiruvananthapuram. It’s unclear whether the film is a complete work of fiction or inspired by real-life events. Kaapa is short for Kerala Anti-Social Activities Prevention Act. We can expect a film which is a mix of human drama, politics and violence.
Kaapa is written by G R Indugopan. The film also stars Aparna Balamurali, Asif Ali and Anna Ben in pivotal roles.
Kaapa is Shaji Kailas’ second film with Prithviraj to release this year. The actor-director duo delivered Kaduva earlier this year and it became a hit at the box office, even though it received mixed reviews.
Kaapa is due in cinemas on December 22.

EUR/USD retains a positive undertone. Economists at Scotiabank note that a weekly close above 1.0580 will be technically bullish.
EUR’s technical resilience looks impressive
“Minor dips are finding decent support near the mid 1.05 zone which may help revive spot gains for a retest of the upper 1.05s into the end of the week.”
“The EUR’s technical resilience looks impressive, from our point of view; it shrugged off a hefty (technically negative) loss earlier this week and remains within striking distance of 1.06.”
“A weekly close above 1.0580 will be technically bullish from a medium-term point of view.”

Riteish Deshmukh had announced Ved a few months back. Sharing a poster of the movie, he wrote, “After being in front of the camera for 20 years, I take a big leap to stand behind it for the first time.

Succession right of tribal women: SC directs Centre to consider amending provisions of Hindu Succession Act
- Country:
- India
Observing that a female tribal is entitled to parity with male tribal in intestate succession, the Supreme Court on Friday directed the Centre to examine the issue and consider amending the provisions of the Hindu Succession Act so as to make it applicable to the members of the Scheduled Tribes.
The top court said when the daughter belonging to the non-tribal is entitled to equal share in the property of her father, there is no reason to deny such a right to the daughter of tribal communities.
As per Section 2(2) of the Hindu Succession Act, the Hindu Succession Act will not be applicable to members of the Scheduled Tribes.
A bench of Justices M R Shah and Krishna Murari said there is no justification for denying the right of survivorship (a right of a person to property on the death of another having a joint interest) so far as the female members of Scheduled Tribes are concerned. ''It is directed to examine the question by the Central Government to consider it just and necessary to withdraw the exemptions provided under the Hindu Succession Act in so far as the applicability of the provisions of the Hindu Succession Act to the Scheduled Tribes and whether to bring a suitable amendment or not. ''We hope and trust that the Central Government will look into the matter and take an appropriate decision taking into consideration the right to equality guaranteed under Articles 14 and 21 of the Constitution of India,'' the bench said.
The apex court said a female tribal is entitled to parity with male tribal in intestate succession.
''To deny the equal right to the daughter belonging to the tribal even after a period of 70 years of the Constitution of India under which right to equality is guaranteed, it is high time for the Central Government to look into the matter and if required, to amend the provisions of the Hindu Succession Act by which the Hindu Succession Act is not made applicable to the members of the Scheduled Tribe,'' the bench said.
The top court's observations came while dismissing a plea on whether a daughter (belonging to Scheduled Tribes) is entitled to the share in the compensation with respect to the land acquired on survivorship basis under the provisions of the Hindu Succession Act.
''Therefore, so long as Section 2(2) of the Hindu Succession Act stands and there is no amendment, the parties shall be governed by the provisions of Section 2(2) of the Hindu Succession Act. ''Therefore, though on equity we may be with the appellant being daughter and more than approximately 70 years have passed after the enactment of the Hindu Succession Act and much water has flown thereafter and though we are prima facie of the opinion that not to grant the benefit of survivorship to the daughter in the property of the father can be said to be bad in law and cannot be justified in the present scenario, unless Section 2(2) of the Hindu Succession Act is amended, the parties being member of the Scheduled Tribe are governed by Section 2(2) of the Hindu Succession Act,'' the bench said.

- Nvidia stock closed up 6.5% on Thursday.
- NVDA shares are positive again Friday on PPI hopes.
- Higher US unemployment is helping Fed pivot narrative.
- Broadcom earnings beat has helped semiconductor industry.
Nvidia (NVDA) stock is rising in Friday's premarket a day after it closed up a hefty 6.5% on more news that the Federal Reserve's interest rate hiking is beginning to deliver results. NVDA shares closed at $171.69 on Thursday after the US Labor Department reported that continuing jobless claims for the week ending November 25 rose by 62,000 to 1.67 million. Additionally, initial jobless claims for the week ending December 2 rose 4,000 to 230,000, which was in line with consensus.
How can more unemployment be good for Nvidia stock? The US labor market has been robust for all of 2022 despite the Federal Reserve raising interest rates. Now that unemployment is rising, much of the market has taken the view that inflation will continue to drop. Since high inflation spurred higher interest rates to begin with, a softening of inflation should mean the central bank can begin cutting rates sooner than thought.
Nvidia stock news
Traders, investors, shareholders, you name it, are now beginning to believe in the "soft landing" narrative in which Fed Chair Jerome Powell can lift his foot off the pedal and switch to talking about a pivot. Growth stocks like Nvidia would benefit from lower rates, both in terms of their debt payments and in terms of their market cap valuations. This is because lower interest rates engender a smaller discount rate on futures earnings.
Now NVDA stock has risen another 0.3% in Friday's premarket, exactly in line with the NASDAQ futures, because the market expects this narrative to be reinforced with today's Producer Price Index (PPI). The data from November will be release by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics at 8:30am EST. Consensus says the YoY PPI figure will rise 7.4% rather than October's 8% figure. If the data is in line or even below 7.4%, then expect the market to soar, especially NASDAQ-listed stocks like Nvidia.
Nvidia stock is primarily waxing and waning based on the perceived state of inflation. Though many commenters and investment banks view a recession as likely for 2023, the equity market is primarily still focused on this Fed inflation story. Nvidia has largely been out of the news over the past month since it released Q3 earnings. On Tuesday, however, CEO Jensen Huang joined Apple (AAPL) CEO Tim Cook and CEO Sanjay Mehrotra from Micron Technology (MU) at an Arizona groundbreaking ceremony for Taiwan Semiconductor's (TSM) new plant to be built in Arizona. Nvidia stands to be a major client of the new plant as Taiwan Semiconductor has recently raised its projected investment in the state from $12 billion to $40 billion.
Elsewhere in semiconductor land, Broadcom (AVGO) reported a fiscal Q4 earnings beat on Thursday that helped semiconductor stocks all around. Broadcom beat both earnings and revenue consensus and was able to raise guidance for the current quarter. Separately, Broadcom's attempted $61 billion acquisition of VMware was reported on Thursday to be entering a long-term antirust review with the European Comission. The review is expected to begin in late December and last through May 2023.
Nvidia stock forecast
Nvidia stock's daily chart has now featured three new highs in close proximity if Friday's premarket price above $173 is reiterated in the regular session. The first came on November 15, then again on December 1 and now possibly on Friday, December 9. With high lows also prominently being featured during this period, it seems like plenty of accumulation is happening.
The obvious target for bulls should be the supply zone between $190 and $192. This is where rallies were foreclosed on twice in August and once in June. On the downside, in the case of worse inflation data in Friday's PPI or if Powell spews hawkish vitriol next week, then expect NVDA stock to pierce through the 20-day moving average that is currently above $162. Further support sits at the 50-day moving average, which is now around $141.50. Then the large demand zone between $110 and $125 remains ready in case the market's optimistic stance switches abruptly.

National Judicial Commission Bill introduced in Rajya Sabha, AAP opposes
- Country:
- India
A private member bill to regulate the appointment of judges through the National Judicial Commission was on Friday introduced in Rajya Sabha by CPI(M)'s Bikash Ranjan Bhattacharyya but was opposed by AAP MP Raghav Chadha.
The National Judicial Commission Bill, 2022 was introduced after the majority of voice votes were in its favour.
Bhattacharyya moved the bill that aims to regulate the procedure to be followed by the National Judicial Commission for recommending people for appointment as the Chief Justice of India and other judges of the Supreme Court and Chief Justices and other judges of High Courts.
The bill, if approved, will also regulate their transfers and to lay down judicial standards and provide for accountability of judges, and establish credible and expedient mechanism for investigating into individual complaints for misbehaviour or incapacity of a judge of the apex court or of a high court and to regulate the procedure for such investigation.
It also proposes for the presentation of an address by parliament to the president in relation to proceeding for removal of a judge and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto.
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) member Chadha opposed the bill, saying the concept of NJAC has come under consideration of the Supreme Court three times in 1993, 1998 and 2016.
''All three times, while giving importance to independence of judiciary, the Supreme Court dismissed the framework of the NJAC. I have stood to oppose the NJAC which my honourable colleague has introduced,'' Chadha said.
''We are attempting to do an constitutional impossibility. I think a system of judges appointment, collegium system is working very well.
''There can be scope of improvement in it which can be done through conversation with judiciary. We should not give any handle to central government so that they enter in appointment of judges,'' Chadha said.

On December 9, independent journalist Bari Weiss released a 31-tweet thread, titled ‘Twitter Files 2.0’. Her primary claim: “teams of Twitter employees build blacklists, prevent disfavored tweets from trending, and actively limit the visibility of entire accounts or even trending topics—all in secret, without informing users”.
Since the thread went up on Twitter, conservatives have doubled down on their criticism of the tech giant while liberal commentators have largely dismissed the revelations as “nothing new”.
What was the first “Twitter Files” story?
“Twitter Files 2.0” comes on the back of revelations released earlier this week on conservative podcaster’s Matt Taibbi’s substack which was heralded by Twitter’s new owner Elon Musk as “Twitter Files”.
The “Twitter Files” thread alleged that in 2020, during Joe Biden’s presidential campaign, Twitter actively censored a potentially damaging story about US President Joe Biden’s son Hunter, and his alleged dubious business dealings in Ukraine.
Hunter Biden has long been targeted by America’s right-wing and the Republican Party, due to his alleged wrongdoings in Ukraine. In October 2020, three weeks before the 2020 US Presidential election, the New York Post published a report titled: “Biden’s Secret Emails: Ukrainian exec thanked Hunter Biden for ‘opportunity to meet’ veep dad”.
The report alleged that Hunter Biden had peddled influence with Ukrainian businessmen, and also included a 12 minute “raunchy video” of Hunter.
After the story was published, Twitter barred anyone from tweeting a link to it or sending it via direct message, labelling it “hacked material”. The company also suspended the New York Post’s account for multiple days, preventing it from tweeting further.
The Twitter Files story detailed how despite various misgivings from people within the organisation, Twitter went on to restrict the story as well as ban New York Post’s account, limiting the story’s reach to Twitter’s users.
Twitter Files 2.0: visibility filtering or shadow banning
What Weiss’s Twitter thread says is that Twitter’s employees have comprehensive control over the visibility of users or posts, control which they use to disproportionately target conservative or right-wing voices. This control is exercised through what employees call “Visibility Filtering’ (VF).
VF includes blocking searches about a particular user/post, limiting the scope of a tweet’s discoverability, blocking certain users from trending or appearing in hashtag searches, among other methods. All this is allegedly done without providing information or context to the affected user. Hence, a particular user’s reach on Twitterverse is seriously limited without them being officially and overtly banned.
Weiss alleges that VF was used to silence conservative voices on Twitter. Among others, Weiss gives the example of Stanford’s Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, who repeatedly raised concerns about the consequences of long drawn-out lockdowns on children’s health and learning. Weiss alleged that Twitter secretly placed him on a “Trends Blacklist,” which prevented his tweets from trending.
Weiss also gave the example of popular right-wing talk show host Dan Bongino who at one point was slapped with a “search blocklist”. Quoting an unnamed Twitter engineer, Weiss tweeted, “We control visibility quite a bit. And we control the amplification of your content quite a bit. And normal people do not know how much we do.”
Who made these decisions to moderate Twitter content?
According to Weiss, “the group that decided whether to limit the reach of certain users was the Strategic Response Team – Global Escalation Team, or SRT-GET. It often handled up to 200 cases a day”. However, the most politically sensitive decisions were taken at a higher, unofficial level.
Weiss tweeted, “There existed a level beyond official ticketing, beyond the rank-and-file moderators following the company’s policy on paper. That is the “Site Integrity Policy, Policy Escalation Support,” known as SIP-PES. This secret group included the Head of Legal, Policy, and Trust (Vijaya Gadde), the Global Head of Trust & Safety (Yoel Roth), subsequent CEOs Jack Dorsey and Parag Agrawal, and others.”
According to Weiss’s revelations, a few top executives were effectively making major decisions regarding content moderation without following Twitter’s own standard procedures. Weiss shared an alleged direct message that Twitter’s Global Head of Trust & Safety Yoel Roth sent where he requested more research on “non-removal policy interventions like disabling engagements and deamplification/visibility filtering”.
The fallout of the Twitter Files 2.0
The American right has gone on the offensive following Weiss’s thread, with reactions ranging from memes to claims about the alleged illegitimacy of the 2020 elections. Many also took potshots at “mainstream media” for not covering these leaks.
Elon Musk himself tweeted “The Twitter Files, Part Deux!!” followed by two popcorn emojis. He later announced that “Twitter is working on a software update that will show your true account status, so you know clearly if you have been shadowbanned, the reason, and how to appeal.”
However, many have dismissed or played down the story’s implications. Kayvon Beykpour, Twitter’s former head of product, questioned Weiss’s characterisation of the platform’s policies, tweeting that “You (Weiss) are characterizing any de-amplification as equating to shadow banning which is either a lazy interpretation or deliberately misleading.”

- Silver scales higher for the third successive day and inches back closer to the multi-month top.
- The technical setup favours bullish traders and supports prospects for a further positive move.
- A sustained break below the $22.00 mark is needed to negate the near-term bullish outlook.
Silver gains traction for the third successive day on Friday and sticks to its positive bias through the early North American session. The white metal is currently placed above the $23.00 mark and remains well within the striking distance of its highest level since late April touched on Monday.
From a technical perspective, this week's goodish rebound from the $22.00 round figure adds credence to the recent bullish breakout through the very important 200-day SMA. Furthermore, positive oscillators on the daily chart support prospects for a further near-term appreciating move for the XAG/USD.
That said, bulls might wait for a move beyond the multi-month top, near the mid-$23.00s, before placing fresh bets. The XAG/USD might then accelerate the upward trajectory and aim to reclaim the $24.00 round figure. The momentum could get extended towards the next relevant hurdle near the $24.50 area.
On the flip side, the daily swing low, just below the $23.00 mark, now seems to protect the immediate downside. This is followed by the 200-hour SMA, around the $22.40-$22.35 region. Any subsequent fall might continue to find decent support and attract fresh buyers near the $22.00 round-figure mark.
The latter should act as a pivotal point, which if broken decisively might negate the positive outlook and shift the bias in favour of bearish traders. The XAG/USD would then turn vulnerable to challenge the technical significant 200-day SMA support, currently pegged around the $21.25 area.

The Delhi High Court Friday directed the Delhi Police Commissioner to place on record the standard operating procedure followed in road accident cases in a plea moved by the mother of a 26-year-old man who died in an accident in 2017.
Observing that it was an “unfortunate case”, a single judge bench of Justice Prathiba Singh asked the Delhi Police to place on record any scheme or policy on compensation as sought by the parents of the deceased. The plea states that the deceased met with an accident when his car was hit by another. The plea alleges that the driver of the offending vehicle was driving in an inebriated state at high speed.
The counsel appearing for the parents, Swaty Singh Mallik, alleged that the blood sample of the driver was not submitted in time for analysis and was delayed by over three months. “This has deprived the parents of a fair trial,” she argued. It was also submitted before the HC that the CCTV footage was also not taken by the investigating officer (IO).
After hearing the parties, the HC directed, “Before proceeding further, this court directs the commissioner of police to place on record any standard operating procedure (SOP) that the police follow in respect of any accident case. The said SOP will be placed on record within six weeks.” The matter is next listed on April 19, 2023.
The plea claims that the IO botched up the investigation as the driver’s blood samples were not forwarded by him to the forensic science laboratory (FSL). The plea states that the IO “knowing that the driver was drunk kept the samples with him for four months” until February 2018. The plea states that the driver was booked under IPC sections 279 (Rash driving or riding on a public way) and 304A(Causing death by negligence) and since the offences were bailable, he was released on bail.
The plea alleges that whenever the mother requested the IO to take the CCTV footage of the accident to shed light on the nature of the accident, he would tell her that she should stay away from the investigation. The plea claims that not only was the investigation botched up by the IO but the manner in which the lapse occurred clearly points to the fact that IO acted in clear contravention to his public duties giving a wrongful benefit to the driver, thus infringing the mother’s fundamental right to a free and fair trial.
The plea alleges that there was a departmental enquiry in October 2018 against the IO wherein it was held that he kept the samples without any justified reasons, and action would be taken against him as deemed appropriate. However, “no appropriate action was taken against the respondent IO by the Commissioner of Police”. The plea alleged that the IO is also “liable to be prosecuted for interference in the administration of justice and for damaging the evidence”.
The plea prays for the order directing the “State of the NCT of Delhi and Commissioner of Police, Delhi, to carry out a fresh departmental enquiry” against the IO, setting aside the decision delivered in the departmental enquiry concluded in October 2018. It seeks a direction to award “exemplary punitive damages of Rs 50,00,000 in favour of the mother and against the IO” for violating her fundamental rights.

- Equities recover on Thursday despite yields rising.
- Oil continues to suffer despite supply fears.
- PPI is the highlight today, but risk is limited before next week.
Equities continued their rangebound trade on Thursday as markets recovered after five straight days of losses. Energy continued to slide on the oil price with XLE in the red and XOP (oil and gas producers) down over 2%. Technology and semiconductors were the best-performing sectors of the day.
S&P 500 (SPX) news
So far so quiet this morning as European markets snooze to the end of the week. However, that will change once the PPI is released from the US. Usually, PPI comes after CPI, but this time around it gets to take the lead and have its time in the sun. Expect some volatility to pick up, but moves are likely to be limited with next week looming large as get rate decisions from the ECB, Fed and CPI.
S&P 500 (SPX) forecast
SPX is still revolving around 3,946 with support also at 3,900. A big move post-PPI could see 4,031 tested, but it seems probabilities lie with fading any strong moves up or down.

Five years after the Travancore Devaswom Board, an autonomous body under the Kerala government, appointed Dalit priests to its temples, priests from backward Hindu communities are still fighting for their right to perform rituals at the Sabarimala hill shrine, where only a Kerala (Malayala) Brahmins is made chief priest.
The Kerala High Court’s devaswom (temple affairs) bench on December 3 heard a bunch of petitions challenging the board’s criterion that only Kerala Brahmins should apply for the post of chief priest at Sabarimala. Petitioners have challenged the notifications issued by the board every year, saying the criterion is violative of the fundamental rights guaranteed under Articles 14, 15 (1) and 16(2) of the Constitution of India.
One of the petitioners, Vishnu Narayanan, who has been a priest for the past three decades, is confident that he has the eligibility to become a priest at Sabarimala. “Times have changed. A person should be a Brahmin by his karma, not by birth. In several temples, backward Hindus and Dalits are performing rituals. But at Sabarimala, we are being denied the opportunity for the sole reason that we are not Brahmins. This discrimination on the basis of caste should end,’’ he said.
With postgraduate degrees in English and astrology, Narayayan, who belongs to the backward Ezhava community, is also running Thantra Vidyalayam, a school to train priests, in Kottayam. He approached the court after the board rejected his petition.
“My fight is for the next generation. Merit should be the only factor that should be considered for the posts of priests at Sabarimala. Nowadays, a few youngsters from the Brahmin communities are joining this profession. Many young priests have quit as there is no social life for the priests. So the situation demands changes in tune with the times,’’ he said.
Rajeesh Kumar, another applicant, sees the post of chief priest at Sabarimala as a dream job. “Irrespective of caste, the post of thanthri at Sabarimala is the most cherished dream. It is our right. Many priests are educated in tantra vidya, apart from the general stream, and have the required experience of 10 years at a temple. But the condition of Malayala Brahmin is the only stumbling block,’’ said the priest with 23 years’ experience.
In 2017, the board took a major step towards social inclusion by appointing Dalits priests to the temples under its control. The entry of Dalits into the sanctum sanctorum was facilitated by the board’s decision to select priests in line with the recruitment process followed for government jobs and by adhering to reservation norms.
The board initiated a similar reform in 1970, when around 10 members of an OBC community were appointed priests, but the decision was opposed by the Brahmin community. Subsequently, the board redesignated the 10 OBC priests as clerks and shifted them out of the temples. And it took a Supreme Court intervention in 1993 for an OBC priest to be appointed to a Kerala temple. But the mantle of the chief priest at Sabarimala has remained elusive for OBC communities thanks to the condition that only Kerala Brahmins are eligible to apply.

A private member bill to regulate the appointment of judges through the National Judicial Commission was on Friday introduced in Rajya Sabha by CPI(M)’s Bikash Ranjan Bhattacharyya but was opposed by AAP MP Raghav Chadha.
The National Judicial Commission Bill, 2022 was introduced after the majority of voice votes were in its favour.
Bhattacharyya moved the bill that aims to regulate the procedure to be followed by the National Judicial Commission for recommending people for appointment as the Chief Justice of India and other judges of the Supreme Court and Chief Justices and other judges of High Courts.
The bill, if approved, will also regulate their transfers and to lay down judicial standards and provide for accountability of judges, and establish credible and expedient mechanism for investigating into individual complaints for misbehaviour or incapacity of a judge of the apex court or of a high court and to regulate the procedure for such investigation.
It also proposes for the presentation of an address by parliament to the president in relation to proceeding for removal of a judge and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto.
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) member Chadha opposed the bill, saying the concept of NJAC has come under consideration of the Supreme Court three times in 1993, 1998 and 2016.
“All three times, while giving importance to independence of judiciary, the Supreme Court dismissed the framework of the NJAC. I have stood to oppose the NJAC which my honourable colleague has introduced,” Chadha said.
“We are attempting to do an constitutional impossibility. I think a system of judges appointment, collegium system is working very well.
“There can be scope of improvement in it which can be done through conversation with judiciary. We should not give any handle to central government so that they enter in appointment of judges,” Chadha said.

- USD/CAD stages a modest intraday recovery move from the 50-day SMA support on Friday.
- Bearish oil prices undermine the Loonie and offer support, though weaker USD caps gains.
- The setup favours bullish traders and supports prospects for a further appreciating move.
The USD/CAD pair defends the 50-day SMA support and attracts some buyers near the 1.3570-1.3565 area on the last day of the week. Crude oil prices maintain the bearish bias near the YTD low, which is seen undermining the commodity-linked Loonie and lending some support to the major. However, the prevalent US Dollar selling bias, amid rising bets for less aggressive rate hikes by the Fed, caps the upside for the USD/CAD pair. Spot prices retreat a few pips from the daily low, though manage to hold above the 1.3600 mark through the early North American session.
From a technical perspective, the recent bounce from confluence support comprising of a nearly three-week-old ascending trend-line and the 100-period SMA on the 4-hour chart favours bullish traders. Moreover, oscillators on daily/4-hourly charts support prospects for additional gains. That said, this week's failure near the 1.3700 mark makes it prudent to wait for some follow-through strength beyond the said handle before placing fresh bullish bets. Nevertheless, the USD/CAD pair still seems poised to test the next relevant resistance near the 1.3745-1.3750 region.
Some follow-through buying has the potential to lift spot prices to the November monthly swing high, around the 1.3800 mark. The USD/CAD pair could eventually appreciate to the 1.3840-1.3850 region en route to the 1.3900 round figure and the YTD peak, around the 1.3975-1.3980 zone.
On the flip side, the 1.3570-1.3560 area (100 DMA) might continue to protect the immediate downside. A convincing break below could accelerate the fall towards the 1.3500 mark. Any subsequent slide, however, could get bought into near the 1.3460-1.3450 confluence support. The latter should act as a pivotal point, which if broken decisively will negate the positive outlook and shift the near-term bias in favour of bearish traders. The USD/CAD pair might then turn vulnerable to weaken below the 1.3400 mark and challenge the 100-day SMA support.
