Russia says 3 MiG warplanes with hypersonic missiles moved to Kaliningrad region -media
Russia's Defence Ministry said on Thursday three MiG-31E warplanes equipped with Kinzhal hypersonic missiles have been relocated to its Kaliningrad region, Interfax reported. Russian state-owned news agency RIA cited the ministry as saying that the MiG jets would be on round-the-clock duty. "That of course is nonsense," Price told reporters. "Russia does not face a threat from NATO.
Russia's Defence Ministry said on Thursday three MiG-31E warplanes equipped with Kinzhal hypersonic missiles have been relocated to its Kaliningrad region, Interfax reported.
Russian state-owned news agency RIA cited the ministry as saying that the MiG jets would be on round-the-clock duty. Kaliningrad, a Russian Baltic coast exclave located between NATO and European Union members Poland and Lithuania, became a flashpoint after Lithuania moved to limit goods transit to the region through its territory, with Russia promising retaliation.
Tensions in the region have risen since Russia sent tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine six months ago in what it calls a "special military operation". Earlier on Thursday, Finland's Defence Ministry said that two Russian MiG-31 jets were suspected of violating its airspace near the city of Porvoo, on the Gulf of Finland 150 km (90 miles) from Russia.
U.S. State Department spokesperson Ned Price said Washington had seen the announcements from Russia regarding the repositioning of assets, which he said portrayed it as a matter of defense and deterrence. "That of course is nonsense," Price told reporters.
"Russia does not face a threat from NATO. Russia does not face a threat from Finland. Russia does not face a threat from any other country."

Best Lawyers in America recognizes Nachawati Law Group founder for national leadership in personal injury litigation
DALLAS, Aug. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Peer lawyers in Texas and the research staff at Best Lawyers in America have selected veteran trial lawyer Majed Nachawati among the nation's best for high-stakes personal injury litigation.
One of oldest peer-review guides in the nation, Best Lawyers compiles its list from surveys of tens of thousands of attorneys nationwide followed by a rigorous vetting by the magazine's research staff.
Under Mr. Nachawati's leadership, Dallas-based Nachawati Law Group has developed a national reputation for representing individuals injured by dangerous and defective products, including cancer-causing chemicals like Monsanto's glyphosate-based Roundup weedkiller, talc-based products including Johnson's Baby Powder, and paraquat-based herbicides.
Mr. Nachawati has been an outspoken voice in these mass torts and multidistrict litigation and many more. He has helped coordinate opposition to a controversial ploy by Johnson & Johnson to shed its liabilities to thousands of women who developed ovarian cancer after using talcum-based products like Johnson's Baby Powder. He currently sits on a committee monitoring the J&J bankruptcy.
Mr. Nachawati also took a stand on behalf of a group of cities and counties in lawsuits against makers, distributors and retailers of highly addictive prescription opioid painkillers. Those efforts resulted in a key appellate ruling earlier this year that allowed plaintiffs to move their lawsuits from federal court back to the state trial courts where they were originally filed. He also led opposition to controversial attempts by Monsanto to settle thousands of Roundup cancer lawsuits.
Earlier this year, Mr. Nachawati was honored by the National Law Journal as a Plaintiffs Trailblazer based on his work in mass torts and multidistrict litigation.
The Nachawati Law Group represents individuals in mass tort litigation, businesses and governmental entities in contingent litigation, and individual victims in complex personal injury litigation. One of the largest and most diverse products liability law firms in the nation, the Nachawati Law Group ranks No. 1 nationally in federal court products liability filings over the past three years, according to Lex Machina.

Sri Lanka's ruling party asks new president to help with ex-leader Rajapaksa's return
Sagara Kariyawasam, general secretary of the ruling Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna, said his party had approached Wickremesinghe for help to enable Rajapaksa's return. "We requested the president to facilitate and provide the necessary security and facilities for former president Gotabaya Rajapaksa to return to the country," Kariyawasam told Reuters.
- Country:
- Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka's ruling party has asked the country's new president to provide security and other assistance for his predecessor who fled to Southeast Asia last month after protests flared amid a crippling economic crisis, an official said on Thursday. Gotabaya Rajapaksa flew to Singapore last month and quit as Sri Lanka's president, making way for veteran politician Ranil Wickremesinghe to win a vote in parliament and take the top job.
Rajapaksa, who has been accused of mishandling the island nation's economy leading to its worst financial crisis in seven decades, is currently in Thailand for a temporary stay. Sagara Kariyawasam, general secretary of the ruling Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna, said his party had approached Wickremesinghe for help to enable Rajapaksa's return.
"We requested the president to facilitate and provide the necessary security and facilities for former president Gotabaya Rajapaksa to return to the country," Kariyawasam told Reuters. "The date of his return is not finalised."
Local broadcaster Newsfirst, citing a former ambassador, said on Wednesday that Rajapaksa would return home next week. In an interview with Reuters earlier on Thursday, Wickremesinghe said he was "not aware" of any such plans for the former president's return.
A former military officer who took office after winning an election in 2019 by a landslide majority, Rajapaksa is the first Sri Lankan president to quit mid-term. His resignation followed widespread protests in the island nation of 22 million people, and came after thousands of people stormed the presidential residence and office in the commercial capital Colombo in early July.

House of Representatives in Nepal endorses Citizenship Amendment Bill sent back by President

The House of Representatives in Nepal on Thursday endorsed the country’s first Citizenship Amendment Bill sent back by President Bidya Devi Bhandari for reconsideration.
During a voting held in Parliament, a total of 135 voted in favour of endorsing the Amendment Bill in its current form, while 60 lawmakers belonging to the main Opposition party, CPN-UML, voted against the Amendment Bill. Only 195 lawmakers were present in the House meeting on Thursday.
The Bill was endorsed as it is, without making any changes to the one sent earlier to the President for authentication. Now, it will again be forwarded to the President for authentication.
President Bhandari on Sunday returned the Bill to the House of Representatives for reconsideration, a month after it was passed in Parliament.
The Bill was presented to the President for authentication after being endorsed by the House of Representatives and the National Assembly.
The Bill has been endorsed as it is, without making any changes to the one sent earlier to the President for authentication. Now, it will again be forwarded to the President for authentication.
The Bill was to amend the Nepal Citizenship Act 2063 BS. It has sparked controversy after lawmakers of the main opposition CPN-UML raised questions on some of its provisions including granting citizenship certificates immediately to foreign women married to Nepali citizens.
Nepal's Parliament on July 14 passed the bill, which had been under discussion for more than two years as political parties failed to forge a consensus on it.
The Bill has been under discussion in the House of Representatives since 2020, but it failed to be endorsed due to differences among the political parties over certain provisions, namely the seven-year waiting period for obtaining naturalised citizenship for foreign women married to Nepali men.
All eligible Nepalis born before September 20, 2015, the day when the Constitution of Nepal was promulgated, were granted naturalised citizenship. owever, their children haven't got citizenship in the absence of a law as the Constitution said the provision to grant them citizenship would be guided by federal law, it said. The federal law hasn't been prepared even seven years after the promulgation of the statute.
In 2018, the then KP Sharma Oli government registered the bill at the Parliament Secretariat.

Appointment of CPI (M) leader's wife at Kannur varsity appears to be case of nepotism: Kerala Guv

- Country:
- India
Kerala Governor Arif Mohammad Khan on Thursday criticised the Kannur University's move to appoint a CPI(M) leader's wife as an associate professor in its Malayalam Department, saying appointing a person who is not qualified appears to be a case of favouritism and nepotism.
A day after the Governor, in his capacity as chancellor of the university, stayed the controversial appointment of Pirya Varghese, wife of CPI(M) leader K K Ragesh, Khan said late on Thursday, ''It appears that the violation of the law has become the norm.'' ''The process of the appointment... it appears to be a case of favouritism and nepotism. A person who is not qualified to be appointed as an assistant professor on prima facie is being appointed because she is spouse of the secretary to the chief minister. This is political. There is absolutely no doubt,'' he told reporters in New Delhi.
Khan also slammed the university vice chancellor's reported decision to challenge his action in the court, indicating that amounts to insubordination and indiscipline.
''A subordinate officer of the institution can go against the head of the institution... whether it amounts to insubordination, it amounts to indiscipline... I have not checked with the legal experts,'' the Governor said responding to a query.
Varghese had been proposed to be appointed as an associate professor in the Malayalam Department by Kannur University, which triggered a huge political row as she had the lowest research score but the highest in the interview round and was declared first in the selection process.
Justifying the Governor's action to stay the proposed appointment, Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in the state Assembly, V D Satheesan, said Khan had actually used his power to prevent the Kannur University's attempt to make an illegal appointment.

Paraguay's vice president reverses, says he won't resign yet
On Friday, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said an associate of Velazquez had offered a bribe to a Paraguayan public official to "obstruct an investigation that threatened the Vice President and his financial interests." The accusation unleashed a political earthquake in Paraguay, where Velazquez was set to be the government's presidential candidate in primary elections for the conservative Colorado Party in December.
Paraguayan Vice President Hugo Velazquez on Thursday said he will not resign until he has details of U.S. accusations against him, a reversal days after Washington accused him of having participated in acts of "significant" corruption. On Friday, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said an associate of Velazquez had offered a bribe to a Paraguayan public official to "obstruct an investigation that threatened the Vice President and his financial interests."
The accusation unleashed a political earthquake in Paraguay, where Velazquez was set to be the government's presidential candidate in primary elections for the conservative Colorado Party in December. Velazquez renounced his candidacy and said he would leave the vice presidency this week. But while Velazquez on Thursday said he would not resign as vice president now, he also said in a statement that his decision not to be a presidential candidate is "immovable."
"I had mentioned when I spoke with you that I was going to resign from office ... in order to go and defend myself as a common citizen," Velazquez told a local radio station. "Yesterday afternoon I found out that the Public Ministry decided to ask the United States Embassy for the facts about the complaint against me. Today, I do not have a platform to defend myself because there is no investigation in the United States either," he added.
At the end of July, the U.S. State Department also accused former President Horacio Cartes of involvement in "significant corruption," for having allegedly obstructed an international investigation into transnational crime. Cartes' political movement will face Velazquez's in the primaries and the winner will be a candidate for the general elections scheduled for April 2023. Cartes' candidate, former minister Santiago Pena, is still in the running.

CNN cancels 'Reliable Sources', host Stelter leaving network
CNN has cancelled its weekly Reliable Sources show on the media, and said Thursday that its host, Brian Stelter, is leaving the network.The show will have its last broadcast this Sunday.CNN has been looking to cut costs but also to put forth a less opinionated product.
CNN has cancelled its weekly “Reliable Sources” show on the media, and said Thursday that its host, Brian Stelter, is leaving the network.
The show will have its last broadcast this Sunday.
CNN has been looking to cut costs but also to put forth a less opinionated product. Stelter has written a book, “Hoax: Donald Trump, Fox News and the Dangerous Distortion of Truth'' and been critical of Fox News, making him a frequent target of the CNN's conservative critics.
Stelter came to CNN from The New York Times, where he was a media writer.
“He departs CNN as an impeccable broadcaster,” said Amy Entelis, executive vice president of talent and content development at CNN. “We are proud of what Brian and his team accomplished over the years, and we're confident their impact and influence will long outlive the show.” Stelter said that he was grateful for his nine years at CNN, proud of the show and thankful to its viewers.
“It was a rare privilege to lead a weekly show focused on the press at a time when it has never been more consequential,” he said. “I'll have more to say on Sunday.” The “Reliable Sources” newsletter, a daily compendium of the media's big stories, will continue and will be led by CNN senior media reporter Oliver Darcy.

The US dollar and yields have rallied on Thursday as the hawks continue to circle above 2051 Constitution Ave. The DXY index, which measures the greenback vs. a basket of major currencies hit a three-week high on Thursday as investors reevaluated Wednesday's minutes from the Federal Reserve’s July meeting as more hawkish than originally interpreted.
Additionally, Fed speakers on Thursday, including San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank President Mary Daly, Kansas City Federal Reserve President Esther George, CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis Jim Bullard and finally, president of the Minneapolis Federal Reserve Neel Kashkari have all been heard signing from the same hawkish hymn sheet.
The most hawkish of the chorus of Fed officials on Thursday was Bullard who expressed a desire for a 75bp hike at September's meeting and added he isn’t ready to say the economy has seen the worst of the inflation surge.
“We should continue to move expeditiously to a level of the policy rate that will put significant downward pressure on inflation” and “I don’t really see why you want to drag out interest rate increases into next year,” Mr. Bullard said in a Wall Street Journal interview.
More recently, we have heard from Kahkari, who has turned far more hawkish in recent weeks, especially when compared to his uber dovish pre-pandemic tone, expressing his concerns for runaway inflation amongst his worries of an imminent recession.
In prior speeches, Kashkari said that he wants to raise the central bank’s benchmark interest rate to 3.9% by the end of this year, and to 4.4% by the end of 2023. That made him the most hawkish participant on the Fed’s rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee at the time, according to the so-called “dot plot” of interest-rate projections published after the central bank’s June policy meeting. On Thursday, he repeated that the Fed has more work to do to get inflation down and that the central bank needs to get inflation down urgently.
At the start of the New York session, Daly had crossed the wires and said in an interview with CNN it was way too early to declare victory on inflation and that said either a 50 basis point or a 75 basis points hike would be appropriate. This was pushing back against the market's interpretation of the minutes yesterday of just a 50bp hike where the futures markets were pricing in a 60% chance thereof. Her comments ignited the bullish tinder under the US dollar that was rising 0.12% on the day at 106.78 which has since gone on to print a 107.560 to trade some 0.8% higher.
Meanwhile, the US dollar is much higher, with the DXY approaching an area of imbalance that guards a resistance at 108.03 ahead of 109.29:

What you need to take care of on Friday, August 19:
The greenback strengthened during US trading hours, soaring across the FX board. Market players assessed several encouraging US macroeconomic figures that suggest the economy has a good chance of skipping a recession, despite technically on it.
Investors changed their minds regarding the latest Federal Reserve announcement. The Minutes from the latest FOMC Meeting published on Wednesday were initially seen as dovish, particularly considering policymakers expressed their concerns about the risk of raising the rate benchmark to a level it would become more a problem than a solution.
Nevertheless, the latest US figures hint at a much better situation than initially feared. Inflation has finally begun easing while the employment sector remains solid. Additionally, other indicators related to business activity have surprised to the upside.
US Federal Reserve officials were on the wires with a mixed message. Minneapolis Federal Reserve Neel Kashkari said that if they keep raising rates, the risk of a recession could increase, although he does not believe the county is currently in a recession. On the other hand, the usual hawk, Bank of St. Louis Jim Bullard said he is leaning towards another 75 bps rate hike in September.

BJP’s Dilip Ghosh makes controversial comment against TMC leader
- Country:
- India
BJP national vice president Dilip Ghosh on Thursday courted controversy by saying senior Trinamool Congress leader Sougata Roy ''will be beaten up with shoes'' for a comment he had made while attacking critics of his party.
Ghosh’s remark drew a sharp retort from Roy who claimed the BJP leader lacks ''formal education'' and is in touch with the TMC as he no longer enjoys the confidence of the saffron camp.
While terming that it was unfair the way the TMC was being “maligned” by opposition parties following the arrest of two of its leaders in different cases, Roy had said that “shoes will be made by peeling off the skin of those who believe they can get away by maligning the party” under the garb of protest.
However, he later regretted making such a remark.
“Sougata Roy is a veteran politician. He was a professor once upon a time. But we are stunned to hear the language he used to attack the opposition. He is telling his party cadres that shoes will be made by peeling off the skin. The day is not far away when people will beat him up with shoes. The TMC leaders will be beaten up with shoes in various parts of the state,” Ghosh said.
Roy said he did not want to react to the BJP leader’s remark. “It’s beyond my dignity to comment on what a person with little or no formal education is saying. Dilip Ghosh himself is in touch with our party as he no longer enjoys the confidence of the BJP leadership,” he said.
Ghosh had also claimed that such comments show that TMC leaders are now “scared” as two of their senior colleagues – Partha Chatterjee and Anubrata Mondal – are behind bars.
Chatterjee was arrested by ED in connection with the school recruitment scam while Mondal was arrested by CBI for allegedly not cooperating with it in a cattle smuggling case.

- Gold price stumbles below the $1760 threshold due to overall US dollar strength.
- Fed officials pushed back against a “dovish” stance by the central bank; emphasized the need to get inflation back down “urgently.”
- US labor and housing data were mixed, though mainly ignored by market participants.
Gold price retraces from daily highs reached around $1772, shy of the 50-day EMA, but stumbled below its 20-day EMA, extending its losses for the fourth consecutive trading day. Despite falling US Treasury bond yields, broad US dollar strength, bolstered by hawkish Fed commentary, weighed on the yellow metal prices.
XAU/USD is trading at $1760 a troy ounce, below its opening price, while the US Dollar Index, a gauge of the buck’s value vs. a basket of peers, rises 0.80%, sitting at 107.509. Contrarily, the US 10-year bond yield drops to 2.882% after reaching a high of 2.913%.
Fed speakers underpinned the greenback, to the detriment of gold prices
During the last few hours, Fed officials grabbed attention. Firstly was San Francisco Fed’s Mary Daly, who said that it is too early to declare victory on inflation and said that 50 or 75 bps is reasonable for the September meeting, via CNN.
Later Kansas City Fed President Esther George added that although inflation data was “encouraging” last month, it’s not time for a “victory lap.” George said that core inflation is “hardly comforting” and noted that the case for raising rates remains strong. At the same time, the St. Louis Fed’s James Bullard commented he’s leaning towards a 75 bps rate hike and foresees an 18-month process of getting inflation back to the Fed’s 2% target.
The last to hit the stand was the Minnesota Fed’s Neil Kashkari. He said that the Fed needs to get inflation down “urgently” while adding that economic fundamentals are strong and emphasized that it does not feel like a recession now.
Elsewhere, before Wall Street opened, US Initial Jobless Claims for the week ending on August 13 decelerated to 250K from 265K foreseen. At the same time, the US housing market is still cooling down due to higher interest rates. Existing Home Sales for July dropped 5.9%, at a rate of 4.8 million units in July, the lowest level since May 2020, when sales hit their lowest point during the Covid-19 lockdowns.
According to sources cited by Reuters, “Assuming the Fed will fight inflation without pushing the economy into recession, safe-haven demand will fade further, causing gold to move gradually lower on a medium to longer-term horizon.”

Move to appoint CPM leader's wife at Kannur varsity appears to be case of nepotism: Kerala Guv

- Country:
- India
Kerala Governor Arif Mohammad Khan on Thursday criticised the Kannur University's move to appoint a CPI(M) leader's wife as an associate professor in its Malayalam Department, saying appointing a person who is not qualified appears to be a case of favouritism and nepotism.
A day after the Governor, in his capacity as chancellor of the university, stayed the controversial appointment of Pirya Varghese, wife of CPI(M) leader K K Ragesh, Khan said late on Thursday, ''It appears that the violation of the law has become the norm.'' ''The process of the appointment... it appears to be a case of favouritism and nepotism. A person who is not qualified to be appointed as an assistant professor on prima facie is being appointed because she is spouse of the secretary to the chief minister. This is political. There is absolutely no doubt,'' he told reporters in New Delhi.
Khan also slammed the university vice chancellor's reported decision to challenge his action in the court, indicating that amounts to insubordination and indiscipline.
''A subordinate officer of the institution can go against the head of the institution... whether it amounts to insubordination, it amounts to indiscipline... I have not checked with the legal experts,'' the Governor said responding to a query.
Varghese had been proposed to be appointed as an associate professor in the Malayalam Department by Kannur University, which triggered a huge political row as she had the lowest research score but the highest in the interview round and was declared first in the selection process.
Justifying the Governor's action to stay the proposed appointment, Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in the state Assembly, V D Satheesan, said Khan had actually used his power to prevent the Kannur University's attempt to make an illegal appointment.

Climate protesters target the Vatican's Laocoon statue
Italian environmental activists staged a second museum protest in as many months, gluing their hands Thursday to the base of one of the Vatican Museums most important ancient sculptures, the Laocoon.The statue wasnt damaged, said the environmental group Last Generation.
- Country:
- Italy
Italian environmental activists staged a second museum protest in as many months, gluing their hands Thursday to the base of one of the Vatican Museums' most important ancient sculptures, the Laocoon.
The statue wasn't damaged, said the environmental group Last Generation. Vatican gendarmes removed the three protesters and they were processed at an Italian police station. It wasn't clear if Vatican criminal prosecutors would eventually take up the case since they have jurisdiction in Vatican City. The protesters are demanding the Italian government increase its solar and wind power and stop exploring for natural gas and reopening old coal mines in Italy. They affixed a banner to the statue's base reading “No gas, no coal.” Last month, protesters glued their hands to the glass window protecting Sandro Botticelli's painting “Spring” in the Uffizi Galleries in Florence. In that case, they were detained and ordered to stay out of Florence for three years, Italian media said.
Last Generation said the group targeted the Laocoon statue, which is believed to have been carved in Rhodes in 40-30 B.C., because of the symbolic story behind it.
According to legend and the Vatican Museums' own website, Laocoon warned his fellow Trojans against accepting the wooden horse left by the Greeks during the Trojan War. The group said the climate crisis is the modern-day warning that is being unheeded by political leaders.

Punjab PWD minister orders recovery of road access charges from owners of commercial properties
- Country:
- India
Punjab PWD Minister Harbhajan Singh on Thursday directed immediate recovery of access road charges from owners of commercial properties such as petrol pumps, marriage palaces, hotels, industrial units, private schools and hospitals.
Singh, while reviewing the work of his department here, expressed concern over the loss of revenue as many establishments have not taken approval for the access route and those who have taken the nod have not paid the due fee.
In a statement, the minister directed field officers to prepare and execute a time-bound action plan for these recoveries and warned them if any official is found to be negligent in this regard, then strict action will be taken. The PWD minister ordered the forest, power and sewerage board officials to remove electricity poles and the obstacles for the smooth execution of ongoing projects of the department so that the construction work could be completed quickly.

Falling trees kill five in storms lashing Austria
Two girls aged four and eight died when trees on the edge of a lake near the town of St Andrae in southern Austria, close to the border with Slovenia, collapsed, police said. The storm with gusts of more than 100 kmh (62 mph) appears to have surprised bathers cooling off at the lake on a hot day, despite two people having been killed in Italy earlier in the day when storms felled trees there.
- Country:
- Austria
Falling trees killed five people in Austria in two separate incidents on Thursday as storms that battered the Mediterranean Sea's northern shores earlier in the day reached the Alpine country in the afternoon. Two girls aged four and eight died when trees on the edge of a lake near the town of St Andrae in southern Austria, close to the border with Slovenia, collapsed, police said.
The storm with gusts of more than 100 kmh (62 mph) appears to have surprised bathers cooling off at the lake on a hot day, despite two people having been killed in Italy earlier in the day when storms felled trees there. Heavy storms caused power outages that forced Austria's national rail company OBB to halt all train services in much of the southern provinces of Styria and Carinthia, which border Slovenia and Italy, OBB said in a statement. Many roads in Styria and Carinthia were also closed, a drivers' group said.
Three people were also killed by a falling tree in the area of the town of Gaming in Lower Austria, the province that surrounds Vienna, a police spokesman said, declining to provide further details. It was unclear whether the tree was felled by lightning or strong winds, he said.

Centre makes public draft of 'urban regeneration policy' of Delhi
- Country:
- India
The Centre on Thursday made public the draft of the ''urban regeneration policy'', under which areas or residential blocks built more than five decades ago but currently in dilapidated state will be regenerated through amalgamation of plots and other incentives.
The draft, which seeks amendments to the DDA Act, 1957, states many existing areas in Delhi have developed over the last more than 100 years and some of them do not meet the norms for healthy and safe urban habitations.
These areas can be utilised optimally through redevelopment or urban regeneration, stated the draft uploaded on the website of the Union Housing and Urban Affairs Ministry.
According to the draft, at present, there is no policy for urban regeneration except for the provisions for redevelopment in the Master Plan for Delhi (MPD)-2021.
There would be provisions to avoid multiple stamp duty and registration charges on deed of exchanges during implementation of land pooling and regeneration processes, it stated.
The draft mentioned that a special purpose vehicle will be formed by the land owners of a sector or a block for the purpose of implementation of land pooling and urban regeneration.
''Once a block is notified as eligible for urban regeneration, it shall be obligatory for all land and property owners of the block to mandatorily participate their land and property in urban regeneration,'' the draft stated.
''Authority or the local body as the case may be, shall take over all land vested in it may summarily evict occupants from the said land, to implement the land pooling or urban regeneration policy, as the case may be. No compensation shall be paid in this regard, except as notified in the policy,'' it added.
According to the draft, the authority or the urban local body concerned shall notify such blocks that become eligible for implementation of urban regeneration by virtue of having achieved the minimum threshold of voluntarily participation as specified in the Urban Regeneration Policy.
The general public can submit their suggestions on the proposed amendments within 30 days.

Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski nearly had his 70,000 euro ($71,000) watch stolen outside the club's training ground Ciutat Esportiva on Thursday, Spanish newspaper Marca reported. The 33-year-old Polish international was on his way to evening training when a person opened the passenger door of a car and took the watch as Lewandowski was greeting fans.
Police quickly arrested a suspect and Lewandowski got his watch back before participating in the practice session ahead of Sunday's LaLiga game at Real Sociedad. Lewandowski joined Barca for about 45 million euros last month from Bayern Munich after helping the German side win many trophies including eight Bundesliga titles and the Champions League.

Cricket-England remain positive despite late S Africa charge
Spinner Jack Leach says England will continue to play their positive brand of cricket despite a late flurry of runs from South Africa that moved the touring side into a commanding position on the second day of the first test at Lord’s.
- Country:
- United Kingdom
Spinner Jack Leach says England will continue to play their positive brand of cricket despite a late flurry of runs from South Africa that moved the touring side into a commanding position on the second day of the first test at Lord’s. The home side’s bowlers, led by captain Ben Stokes, dragged England back into the contest on Thursday when they had South Africa six wickets down with a lead of only 45.
But Marco Jansen (41 not out) and Keshav Maharaj (41) put on 72 in about 12 overs to wrestle back control and take the visitors' advantage to 124 as they reached 289 for seven at the close. "We are behind in the game, but we’ve stuck at it really well," Leach told SkySports. "We are always trying to take wickets, that’s our mindset. We could have had a few more, but we just have to keep at it.
"I felt like we were creating half-chances and we have to believe we can take them. It’s the way it goes, we are just thinking about how to impact the game in front of us and not about the scoreboard." Leach (1-42) bowled with good control and found prodigious spin, picking up the wicket of Aiden Markram (16).
"I felt like I had nothing to lose and could just go for it, spin the ball hard and see what is in the surface," he said. "I feel that belief in me now. I have confidence having played enough test cricket. You get that confidence through performances.
"When I get into a rhythm, I feel I have more control and energy. It’s about not rushing things. If you feel excitement and nerves you can rush through your run-up." The test is the first of three in the series with matches to come at Old Trafford and The Oval.

Tennis-Medvedev grinds down Shapovalov in Cincinnati
Medvedev dropped just four first-serve points in the second set and never faced a break as Shapovalov saved five break points before losing his serve in the penultimate game. "The match was pretty tight, I felt like it was (a) great level," Medvedev said.
World number one Daniil Medvedev wore down Canadian Denis Shapovalov 7-5 7-5 on Thursday to reach the Cincinnati quarter-finals ahead of his U.S. Open title defence. Russian Medvedev suffered a jarring early exit from the Canadian Masters this month but overcame early mistakes at the tune-up tournament for the year's final major, trading breaks with Shapovalov before breaking him again in the 11th game.
A frustrated Shapovalov received a warning for whacking his racket as Medvedev, who won the tournament in 2019, wrapped up the first set. Medvedev dropped just four first-serve points in the second set and never faced a break as Shapovalov saved five break points before losing his serve in the penultimate game.
"The match was pretty tight, I felt like it was (a) great level," Medvedev said. "My goal was to stay there every point possible." He faces Taylor Fritz in the next round, after the Indian Wells winner came back from a set down to beat Russian Andrey Rublev 6-7(4) 6-2 7-5 on Center Court.
Rublev's game deteriorated just as Fritz found his form, the American breaking in the third and fifth games of the second set and hitting a dozen winners, twice as many as his opponent. Fritz saved three break points in a tense sixth game of the decider before converting his own break point in the 11th.
Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas had few problems taking down Diego Schwartzman 6-3 6-3 in a little over 90 minutes after the Argentine served up nine double faults.

Ukrainian celebrity crowdfunds radar satellite for armed forces
Responding to the wave of publicity caused by that initiative, Baykar handed over three drones for free. As a result, Prytula said he was able to use the money he had raised, which his foundation says currently stands at over 2 billion hryvnia ($55 million), to purchase access to the ICEYE satellite.
A well-known Ukrainian TV host has crowdfunded a gift to help Ukraine's armed forces beat back Russia's invasion: usage rights to a radar satellite that can see through clouds. TV star Serhiy Prytula and Finnish satellite company ICEYE OY confirmed the deal in separate statements on Thursday.
"The contract signed with the Serhiy Prytula Charity Foundation will initially provide the Government of Ukraine with the full capabilities for one of ICEYE's satellites already in orbit," the company said. "In addition, ICEYE will provide access to its constellation of SAR satellites, allowing the Ukrainian Armed Forces to receive radar satellite imagery on critical locations with a high revisit frequency," it said on its website.
The satellites differ from conventional ones due to their synthetic radar imaging technology, which can produce high-resolution images at night, and see through cloud cover, ICEYE says. "I dont know of any other cases in history when people, young and old, came together and bought a satellite for their state," Prytula said in a video posted on YouTube.
Prytula, whose foundation has conducted several fundraising drives to help the war effort, said the money for the satellites had been raised in June by the "People's Bayraktar" crowdfunding initiative, which sought to purchase three Bayraktar TB2 combat drones from Turkish manufacturer Baykar Defense. Responding to the wave of publicity caused by that initiative, Baykar handed over three drones for free.
As a result, Prytula said he was able to use the money he had raised, which his foundation says currently stands at over 2 billion hryvnia ($55 million), to purchase access to the ICEYE satellite. ($1 = 36.2500 hryvnias)

U.S. seeks information from Tesla on in-car camera in Autopilot probe
NHTSA said it was seeking information on the cabin camera's "impact on driver engagement alert types and timing" as well as "recoverable data elements pointing to its influence." The agency said it wanted an explanation for "design decisions" on driver engagement enforcement, "including the evidence that justifies the period of time that the driver is permitted to have their hands off the steering wheel before receiving a warning." The regulator is reviewing whether Tesla vehicles adequately ensure drivers are paying attention.
U.S. auto safety regulators on Thursday asked Tesla Inc to answer questions about its in-car camera intended to monitor driver awareness as part of a probe into 830,000 Tesla vehicles that employ the carmaker's advanced driver assistance system called Autopilot. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is assessing the performance of Autopilot after earlier identifying a dozen crashes in which Tesla vehicles struck stopped emergency vehicles.
In June, it upgraded its probe to an engineering analysis - a required step before it could potentially demand a recall. NHTSA's nine-page letter demands Tesla answer questions by Oct. 12 about "the role that the Cabin Camera plays in the enforcement of driver engagement/attentiveness."
According to Tesla, the cabin camera - a camera located above the rear view mirror - can determine driver inattentiveness and provide audible alerts to remind the driver to keep their eyes on the road when Autopilot is engaged. NHTSA said it was seeking information on the cabin camera's "impact on driver engagement alert types and timing" as well as "recoverable data elements pointing to its influence."
The agency said it wanted an explanation for "design decisions" on driver engagement enforcement, "including the evidence that justifies the period of time that the driver is permitted to have their hands off the steering wheel before receiving a warning." The regulator is reviewing whether Tesla vehicles adequately ensure drivers are paying attention. The agency said in June evidence suggested drivers in most crashes under review had complied with Tesla's alert strategy, raising questions about its effectiveness.
Tesla, which has disbanded its press office, did not respond to a request for comment. Consumer Reports said when it evaluated Tesla's driver attention monitoring camera in late 2021 "we found that it wasn't adequate to ensure that the driver was fully paying attention when the driver was using Autopilot and Full Self Driving (FSD) features."
The magazine said it "could block the in-cabin camera, and the car wouldn't issue a warning, slow down the car, or shut off the systems." In June, Consumer Reports said the company had installed an over-the-air update that issued a warning when the camera is covered while FSD is engaged, but not with Autopilot.
Autopilot is intended to enable cars to steer, accelerate and brake automatically within their lane, while FSD enables vehicles to obey traffic signals and make lane changes. In addition to the defect probe, NHTSA has opened 38 special investigations since 2016 of crashes involving Tesla vehicles and where Autopilot or other advanced systems were suspected of being used. A total of 19 deaths have been reported in those Tesla-related investigations.
Separately, California's state transportation has accused Tesla of falsely advertising the features as providing autonomous vehicle control. Tesla said in notices filed with the state that were released Thursday that it is seeking a hearing on the complaints and intends to present a defense.
California's Department of Motor Vehicles is seeking remedies that could include suspending Tesla's license to sell vehicles in the state and requiring the company provide restitution to drivers.

WASHINGTON — The six-year-old son of NBC News Chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel has died.
Engel announced the death of his son Henry on Twitter in a post signed by him and his wife.
"Our beloved son Henry passed away. He had the softest blue eyes, an easy smile and a contagious giggle. We always surrounded him with love and he returned it, and so much more," Engel wrote.
Henry, born on Sept. 29, 2015, was diagnosed as an infant with a rare genetic mutation that caused Rett syndrome.
Engel linked to a post on the Texas Children's Hospital website that gave details about Henry's life and battle with Rett syndrome.
His parents realized in his infancy that Henry wasn't meeting developmental milestones, according to the post. Genetic testing revealed a mutation in his MECP2 gene, which caused Rett syndrome.
The neurodevelopment disorder is seen almost exclusively in females and more rarely in males, according to the International Rett Syndrome Foundation. It causes cognitive deficits, loss of speech and difficulty with motor skills.
There is no cure or treatment for Rett syndrome.
Dr. Huda Zoghbi, who first discovered the connection between the MECP2 gene and Rett syndrome, worked with Henry and studied his disease at TCH's neurological research institute.
“Henry was special in so many ways," Zoghbi wrote in a tribute to her young patient. "His loving and endearing smile, and the way he connected with his eyes, stole my heart from the time I met him. His quiet fight against this terrible disease was incredible. What is most amazing, however, is the impact Henry had on so many of us at the Duncan NRI and on our Rett research. We will continue to push as hard as possible to develop treatments. This is how we will honor his life.”
Engel has been public about Henry's health battl3e and the difficulties of parenting a child with special needs. He regularly posted updates about his son's life to Twitter, and spoke about Henry with the TODAY show.
In March 2022, he revealed that Henry's condition had taken a turn for the worse. He was hospitalized for six weeks.
Zoghbi said she and her team are making significant progress toward finding a treatment for the disorder with Henry's cells.
According to the post, the Engel family asked anybody interested in honoring Henry's memory to donate to TCH's research into the disease.

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department’s investigation into whether former President Donald Trump illegally stored classified records at his Florida estate – and potentially violated the Espionage Act – is still “in its early stages,” a top national security prosecutor said Thursday.
The revelation by Jay Bratt, a top national security prosecutor, was the clearest indication yet that the Justice Department is directly scrutinizing Trump’s conduct and is moving forward in its criminal investigation after the FBI seized classified and top secret information during a search at Mar-a-Lago last week.
The details about the investigation were laid out Thursday during a court hearing after several news organizations, including The Associated Press, asked a federal judge to make public the affidavit supporting the warrant that allowed FBI agents to search Trump’s Florida estate.
The government contends that releasing the information would compromise its investigation.
Unsealing the affidavit would provide a “road map” of the investigation — which is in its “early stages” — and would expose the next steps to be taken by federal agents and prosecutors, said Bratt, the chief of the Justice Department’s counterintelligence and export control section.
He argued it was in the public interest for the investigation, including interviews of witnesses, to go forward unhindered.
As the hearing kicked off, a small caravan of vehicles with Trump flags drove past the federal courthouse in West Palm Beach, Florida. An attorney for Trump, Christina Bobb, was in the courthouse on Thursday but said she was only there to observe the court proceeding.
The media companies argue the affidavit's release would help the public determine if the Justice Department had legitimate reasons for the search or if it was part of a Biden administration vendetta against Trump, as the former president and his backers contend. Trump, in a Truth Social post last week, called for the release of the unredacted affidavit in the interest of transparency.
“The matter is one of utmost public interest, involving the actions of current and former government officials,” wrote attorney Carol Jean LoCiero, who is representing the Times and others. “President Trump decried the the search as an ‘assault that could only take place in Third World Countries,’ asserted agents ‘even broke into my safe,’ and otherwise challenged the validity of the search.”
U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart — the judge who authorized the warrant and presided over Thursday's hearing — said in court that he was “inclined” not to seal the whole affidavit and told the Justice Department to submit a copy of the affidavit with proposed redactions for the information it wants to keep secret.
After the government submits that proposed version by next Thursday, the judge said he would review it and may meet lawyers for the government and give them a chance to make an argument for why specific information should be withheld.
Justice Department attorneys have argued in a court filings that the investigation into Trump's handling of “highly classified material” is ongoing and that the document contains sensitive information about witnesses.
A recent filing by Juan Antonio Gonzalez, the U.S. attorney in Miami, and Bratt, a top Justice Department national security official, says making the affidavit public would “cause significant and irreparable damage to this ongoing criminal investigation.”
“If disclosed, the affidavit would serve as a roadmap to the government’s ongoing investigation, providing specific details about its direction and likely course, in a manner that is highly likely to compromise future investigative steps,” they wrote.
FBI agents searched Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate on Aug. 8, removing 11 sets of classified documents, with some not only marked top secret but also “sensitive compartmented information," according to a receipt of what was taken that was released Friday. That is a special category meant to protect the nation’s most important secrets that if revealed publicly could cause “exceptionally grave” damage to U.S. interests. The court records did not provide specific details about information the documents might contain.

FBI agents took 11 sets of classified records from former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate during a search on Aug. 8, court records revealed.
In a post on TruthSocial, his social media platform, Trump later claimed that the documents were “all declassified.” Kash Patel, who served as chief of staff for the acting defense secretary during the Trump administration, also claimed that Trump had declassified the documents.
While it still may not be legal for Trump to possess declassified documents from his presidency, many VERIFY readers, including Beverly and Cole, asked whether the president can declassify documents while in office.
THE QUESTION
Can the president declassify documents?
THE SOURCES
- U.S. Department of the Navy v. Egan
- Executive Order 13526
- Kel McClanahan, executive director of the National Security Counselors, a nonprofit public interest law firm
- Richard Immerman, Edward J. Buthusiem Family Distinguished Faculty Fellow in History at Temple University
- The New York Times, et al., v. Central Intelligence Agency
THE ANSWER
Yes, the president can declassify documents while in office, but there isn’t a set protocol they have to follow.
WHAT WE FOUND
The U.S. classification system has three levels: top secret, secret and confidential.
“That is based on the level of damage that its release would cause to the national security of the United States,” Kel McClanahan, executive director of the National Security Counselors, said. “When you classify a document, that means that only people with a security clearance equal to the classification or higher can read it.”
A sitting U.S. president has wide-ranging authority to classify and declassify certain documents, but former presidents do not have authority over classification and declassification.
Current presidents can classify documents as long as they can “make a plausible argument that it is related to national security.” On the other hand, the president “doesn’t have to give any reason for declassifying” information, according to McClanahan.
“He can just say, ‘I decide that this should be declassified,’ and it’s declassified,” McClanahan said.
A 2009 executive order directs the head of a government agency that originally deemed information classified to oversee its declassification, and sets some rules for that process. But those protocols outlined in the executive order don’t apply to the president, McClanahan said.
However, presidents generally follow an informal protocol when declassifying documents, Richard Immerman, a historian and professor at Temple University, told VERIFY.
First, the president will consult all departments and agencies that have an interest in a classified document. Those departments or agencies then provide their assessment as to whether the document should stay classified for national security reasons. If there is a dispute among the agencies, they debate, but the president ultimately makes the decision on declassification, Immerman explained.
When documents are declassified, they are reviewed line-by-line. In many cases, certain words, sentences and paragraphs remain redacted, even if the document is declassified, Immerman said.
The Supreme Court determined in its 1988 decision on Department of the Navy v. Egan that the president’s power over classified information comes from executive authority granted by Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution, which says, in part, that the “President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States.”
“His authority to classify and control access to information bearing on national security and to determine whether an individual is sufficiently trustworthy to occupy a position in the Executive Branch that will give that person access to such information flows primarily from this constitutional investment of power in the President, and exists quite apart from any explicit congressional grant,” the Supreme Court decision reads.
Though there aren’t specific protocols that the president must follow to declassify a document, federal courts have ruled that they will “refuse to recognize what they consider to be an inference of declassification,” McClanahan said.
The U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals wrote in a 2020 decision about whether statements made by then-President Trump declassified the existence of a CIA program that “declassification, even by the president, must follow established procedures.”
If a document is declassified, that doesn’t automatically mean it can be shared widely, either. For example, nuclear information – which is generally classified – is also protected by the federal Atomic Energy Act of 1954, McClanahan explained.
The Washington Post reported the FBI searched Mar-a-Lago for “nuclear documents,” among other classified information.
“Because [nuclear information] has this dual protection, even if you declassify a nuclear document, you cannot disseminate it because it’s still what’s called Restricted Data,” McClanahan said.
“So to the extent that he [Trump] had any nuclear information in there, declassification would not help him in the slightest, because he would still be disseminating restricted data or moving Restricted Data,” he added.
There are other federal laws in place that bar a president from taking government records, whether they are classified or declassified. Still, breaking those laws – or most other laws – doesn’t automatically disqualify someone from becoming president, because of the simple presidential qualifications that are outlined in the U.S. Constitution.
More from VERIFY: No, being convicted of taking government records would not disqualify Trump from serving as president again

On Aug. 16, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) finalized approval for people with mild to moderate hearing loss to buy hearing aids over the counter from stores and pharmacies across the country.
A person will be able to buy a hearing aid without medical exams, a prescription or audiologist fitting adjustment as early as mid-October, the FDA said.
“This action makes good on my commitment to lower costs for American families, delivering nearly $3,000 in savings to American families for a pair of hearing aids and giving people more choices to improve their health and wellbeing,” President Joe Biden said.
But some people said a law signed by former President Donald Trump paved the way for it to happen. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) also tweeted that legislation she brought forth with Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) in 2017 helped make it happen.
THE QUESTION
Did a law signed in 2017 pave the way for over-the-counter hearing aids?
THE SOURCES
THE ANSWER
Yes, a law that passed in 2017 paved the way for over-the-counter hearing aids. Then-President Trump signed the Food and Drug Administration Reauthorization Act, which included language to make hearing aids available over the counter. But a number of politicians and government organizations also had a hand in the policy change.
WHAT WE FOUND
In August 2017, then-President Donald Trump signed the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Reauthorization Act (FDARA) into law.
- Authorized the federal government to charge fees to companies in the pharmaceutical, medical device, and other healthcare industries, which provide some funding for the agency to review products.
- Set the standard for the FDA to set and meet performance goals for the review of medical products, with a goal of getting therapies, medical devices, and other products more quickly to market.
The FDA works with Congress and holds public meetings to determine what should be included in the Reauthorization Act. Every five years, the Reauthorization Act is introduced to Congress, and signed into law by the president.
One bill that was passed as part of the 2017 Reauthorization Act was the Over-the-Counter (OTC) Hearing Aid Act, a bipartisan bill brought forth by Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.).
The OTC Hearing Aid Act required the FDA to create a new category of over-the-counter hearing aids that would meet high standards but also provide consumers the option of an FDA-regulated device at lower cost.
Under this new category, a consumer would also be able to purchase the device without a prescription or exam through in-person transactions, mail, or online.
In the FDA’s Aug. 16, 2022, release about the approval, the administration said even though the 2017 law required the FDA to create a category of over-the-counter hearing aids, it was not fully implemented until President Joe Biden issued an executive order on July 9, 2022.
Biden’s executive order was written to “promote competition in the American economy, which will lower prices for families, increase wages for workers, and promote innovation and even faster economic growth.”
Part of that order directed the Secretary of Health and Human Services to make lower-cost hearing aids available over the counter, as called for by section 709 of the FDA Reauthorization Act of 2017, within 120 days from the time the order was signed.
After the FDA announced the final approval of over-the-counter hearing aids, Warren and Grassley released a joint statement that the Over-the-Counter Hearing Act.
"Five years after our bipartisan Over-the-Counter Hearing Aid Act became law, consumers with mild to moderate hearing loss will finally have access to affordable over-the-counter hearing aids,” said Warren and Grassley. “We are thrilled that the FDA has finalized these guidelines and that safe, effective, accessible and affordable hearing aids will now be available over-the-counter for millions of Americans.”
So, we can VERIFY that a bill was signed into law in 2017 calling for the FDA to make hearing aids available over the counter, but it took a joint effort from Congress, the FDA and two presidential administrations to make it happen.

CLEVELAND — Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson will serve an 11-game unpaid suspension, pay a $5 million fine and undergo professional evaluation and treatment as part of a settlement with the NFL following accusations of sexual misconduct by two dozen women.
The league had sought to ban Watson for at least one year for violating its personal conduct policy. He was accused of sexually harassing and coercing the women during massage therapy sessions while he played for the Houston Texans.
Watson signed a $230 million fully guaranteed contract after being traded to the Browns in March. The three-time Pro Bowler will lose $632,500 in salary this season while serving the suspension, which takes effect Aug. 30.
“My whole life I just have to be able to move forward and that’s the plan,” Watson said shortly after the settlement became public. “I have to be able to move forward with my career, move forward with my family, my personal life and everything.”
The settlement ends months of speculation and headed off a ruling from former New Jersey attorney general Peter C. Harvey, who was appointed by Commissioner Roger Goodell after the league appealed a six-game suspension issued by disciplinary officer Sue L. Robinson.
As part of the settlement between the league and the NFL Players Association, Watson will have to be evaluated by behavioral experts and follow their treatment program, the NFL said.
Watson, who recently apologized for the first time since the allegations surfaced, spoke to reporters after the settlement was announced. He offered more contrition while maintaining he never has been inappropriate with women.
“I’ve always stood on my innocence and always said that I’ve never assaulted anyone or disrespected anyone and I’m continuing to stand on that," he said. "But at the same time, I have to continue to push forward with my life and my career, and for us to be able to move forward, I have to be able to take steps and put pride to the side.
"I’m going to continue to stand on my innocence and keep pushing forward, and I’ve always stood on not disrespecting or sexually assaulting anyone.”
As part of the settlement, Watson may return for the Browns’ game on Dec. 4 in Houston. He won't be allowed at the team's facility during the suspension and will be eligible for reinstatement on Nov. 28.
Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said Watson will not play in any of Cleveland's preseason games.
Along with his $5 million fine, the league and Browns are donating $1 million each to a fund that will support nonprofit organizations across the country to educate young people on “healthy relationships, promote education and prevention of sexual misconduct and assault, support survivors, and related causes."
Browns owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam, who have been widely criticized for trading for Watson, stood by the QB. They said they expect him to learn and grow from the experience.
“Since Deshaun came into our building in April, he has done everything we have asked of him and more,” Jimmy Haslam said at a news briefing with his wife and Browns general manager Andrew Berry. "And he has been the person, the leader that we expect him to be and I think he understands where he is in his life, it’s a pivotal point, and we as an organization are going to do everything we can to help him not only be the best football player he can be but more important to be the best person he can be.”
Haslam was asked if he's still comfortable with Watson being on Cleveland's roster.
“Absolutely,” he said. “100%”
On Aug. 1, Watson was suspended six games by Robinson, a former federal judge jointly appointed by the league and union to act as an independent disciplinary officer. She found the 26-year-old violated the league’s conduct policy and called his behavior “egregious” and “predatory.”
Believing the suspension was too light, the league appealed and pushed Watson’s case back to Goodell, who had handled all player discipline in the past. The league previously pushed for an indefinite suspension and hefty fine.
At the owners’ meetings this month, Goodell said the league’s pursuit of a yearlong ban was warranted following its investigation and Robinson’s findings.
“She reinforced the evidence,” Goodell said. “There were multiple violations that were egregious, and it was predatory behavior.”
In her conclusion, Robinson cited Watson’s lack of remorse as a factor in her decision. Watson apologized for the first time “to all the women that I have impacted” before making his Browns’ debut Friday in an exhibition in Jacksonville.
Watson was accused of being sexually inappropriate with the women during massage therapy sessions from March 2020 to March 2021 in Texas. In civil lawsuits filed in Texas, the women accused Watson of exposing himself, touching them with his penis or kissing them against their will. One woman alleged Watson forced her to perform oral sex.
Two separate grand juries in Texas declined to indict Watson, who recently settled 23 of 24 lawsuits.
For now, the suspension ends months of speculation about whether Watson would play in 2022 for the Browns, who outbid several other teams, traded three first-round draft picks to the Texans in March and signed the QB to a five-year contract.
Watson’s case sparked strong opinions while raising questions about the league’s handling of player discipline and its spotty record of supporting women.
The Browns believe Watson could make them a Super Bowl contender. Without him, they could struggle to simply contend in the AFC North against defending conference champion Cincinnati along with Baltimore and Pittsburgh.
All along, the Browns’ plan was to turn their offense over to veteran Jacoby Brissett, who has made 37 career starts, during Watson’s suspension. But it’s now possible Cleveland will explore other options at quarterback.
The suspension also means Watson will be idle longer. One of pro football’s elite QBs, he sat out last season in Houston after demanding a trade and before the sexual allegations surfaced.
In her 16-page ruling, Robinson found that the league proved its case that Watson violated three provisions of the conduct policy: sexual assault as defined by the league, posing a genuine danger to the safety and well-being of another and undermining or putting the league’s integrity at risk.
Attorney Tony Buzbee, who represents all 24 women who sued Watson, was critical of the NFL's handling of the case and settlement.
“By settling this matter the way he has, Roger Goodell has proven one of two things: Either his recent rhetoric was utter baloney, or his bark is much worse than his bite,” Buzbee said in a statement. "My belief is that he is nothing more than a paper tiger.
"The message today to all victims is clear, if you believe you have been sexually assaulted by a powerful person, keep your mouth shut and go away. The NFL has certainly demonstrated that its ownership and the organization doesn’t care.

Two Russian villages were evacuated on Thursday after a fire broke out at an ammunition depot near the border with Ukraine, local authorities said.
The blaze comes days after explosions at a military base and munitions depot in Crimea, the Ukrainian peninsula annexed by Moscow, which Russia called an act of "sabotage" by Kyiv.
"An ammunition depot caught fire near the village of Timonovo," less than 50 kilometers (30 miles) from the Ukrainian border in Belgorod province, the region's governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said in a statement.
No casualties were reported, but residents of Timonovo and the nearby village of Soloti were "moved to a safe distance," he said, adding that authorities were investigating the cause of the fire.
A video posted on social media showed a huge fireball billowing a thick column of black smoke.
Another video showed several explosions in quick succession in the distance.
Thursday's fire comes amid a slew of blasts at Russian military installations near Ukraine.
Earlier this month, a bomb exploded near the Saki military airfield in Crimea, killing one person and injuring several others.
A few days later, explosions ripped through an ammunition depot in Crimea.
In the second case, Moscow unusually admitted there had been an act of "sabotage."
Since the start of the Russian offensive in Ukraine in late February, Moscow has repeatedly accused Ukrainian forces of carrying out strikes on its soil, particularly in the Belgorod region.
Last month, missiles slammed into the provincial capital Belgorod, killing four people, according to local authorities.
Earlier this month, Gladkov accused Ukraine of carrying out an attack on a fuel depot in Belgorod with two helicopters.

WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah — West Valley City police are searching for the body of a 99-year-old woman who they believe was killed by her grandson who later died by suicide.
Police first became concerned about the whereabouts of Maren Carlson on Nov. 12, 2021 when another woman escaped after being held captive by her husband, Garman Shaun Cunningham. Officials said Carlson was Cunningham's grandmother.
After the woman claimed her husband had murdered Carlson, police were unable to locate the elderly woman.
Investigators say Cunningham disposed of Carlson's body in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest near Mirror Lake Highway or State Route 35. However, multiple searches in the area have yet to locate the body.
Cunningham was charged with aggravated murder and aggravated kidnapping, along with other charges, but was able to commit suicide while in custody in March.
Police are asking anyone spending time in the mountains to keep an eye out for evidence related to Carlson's disappearance.
Carlson was last seen wearing light pink pajamas with a floral design, and may have also been wearing a robe. A black garbage bag holding evidence is also believed to be in the area.
Anyone who locates items related to Carlson or the bag is urged to contact West Valley City police.

Most Americans admit they use social media at least once a day, but they also believe platforms like Facebook and Twitter are doing more to divide the nation than bring us together, according to research by NYU and the University of Cambridge.
Experts are now speaking out to allow a better understanding of where this division comes from, and what things unite us on social media platforms.
“The advent of social media has changed the information environment dramatically for individuals,” said Phillip Fernbach, a professor at the University of Colorado specializing in cognitive science research.
“It’s not so much the internet, but rather that the internet is always on us,” said Samuel Jay, a professor of communication studies at MSU Denver. “I think it’s a compelling argument in this shift and how we access that and what it does to us as a society. It is insanely steep curve that has occurred over the last 25 years when it comes to technology and access to information – and what I think is so wild is how fast things change.”
This is the age of social media—where you go to update your life, stay connected with friends and family, and now, where a lot of Americans go to get their daily news and information.
"I think you can think of social media as you can think of any tool,” said Toby Hopp, a professor at The University of Colorado specializing in digital media research. “A hammer for instance: I can hang art on my wall, fix things that need to be fixed. But I can also swing that hammer just as wildly. I can put holes in my living room or hit myself in the head. That's how I look at social media is that it's a mix of good and bad."
According to the Pew Research Center, about 53% of people said they get their news from social media.
Because we tend to be caught up daily on current events via social media or digitally, a lot of Americans think that this can be doing more to divide us than unite us. In fact, 64% percent of Americans believe that socal media platforms do more to divide us.
"We have taken to using information and feelings that use to be so specific to our private and personal lives, and we've really made the personal political now,” Jay said.
“One problem is that happens on both sides of the aisle,” Fernbach said. “So, people on both sides tend to have strong opinions on these issues and lose the nuance. And things aren’t black and white; sometimes they’re gray and we can lose that. Because we get into this habit of arguing from this position that we have.”
Social media services give users a platform to share their thoughts, especially political ones. Whether it's climate change, COVID, or racial and social issues.
However, some of this divide according to experts is due to the access to information, but more so, misinformation.
Another reason for this division is that people tend to discuss their political views only with those who align with their ideology.
"When we're arguing about these complicated issues, as individuals we actually don't know that much about them,” Fernbach said. “We might feel that we understand them to a certain degree but they're often complex and yet, everyone that you talk to online seems to have strong opinions on these complex issues. So, then the questions come up of why do people have such strong opinions, a lot of my research delves into that. When we're part of a community, that has a particular position, just by virtue of participating in that community, we tend to feel like we have a better understanding of that issue better than we do."
However, there are sparks of uniting over causes on social media, particularly when a tragedy happens.
"You see that social media allows to collectively grieve to collectively organize around a problem or a tragedy,” Hopp said. “Whatever character these tragedies take on, you see time and time again people want to be a positive voice around a problem. Social media does allow that, that's not something we can say doesn't matter because it does matter."
To become more united, experts suggest limiting their time on social media, and read through information and formulate their own opinions based on facts that overrules misinformation.
“I think that we need to take a step back from that, and understand that social media isn’t really real life,” Hopp said. “The negative opinions that it invokes or perspectives that it pushes us towards having, it’s not healthy for society in general but for us as individuals.”

The author is reportedly improving since the attack. Rushdie's agent said the author had damage to his liver and suffered severed nerves, but he is no longer on a ventilator.
A motive for the attack has not been revealed.

Authorities in Canada are investigating after wolves at the Greater Vancouver Zoo were found outside their enclosure earlier this week.
In a news release on Tuesday, zoo officials called the incident "suspicious" and suspected it to "be due to malicious intent."
The zoo said they were working with Langley Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the B.C Conservation Officer Service to recapture the animals.
According to zoo officials, the police were investigating the incident that appeared "to be unlawful entry and vandalism."
Zoo officials said most of the wolves were recovered, but the staff was still searching for a "small number" of them, according to the news release.
On Tuesday, the B.C. Conservation Officer Service later tweeted that zoo officials said one of the wolves remained "at large."
The Greater Vancouver Zoo requested #BCCOS support to recapture wolves that had escaped their enclosure earlier today.
According to the @vancouverzoo there is 1 wolf still at large. The zoo is working to recapture the animal.
— BC CO Service (@_BCCOS) August 16, 2022
Zoo officials did not say how many wolves got out of their enclosure, but according to their website, they have nine adult grey wolves and six cubs.
Zoo officials added that the public was not in danger.
On Wednesday, the zoo posted a story on its Facebook page informing the public the park was closed, CTV News reported.
The Vancouver Sun reported the zoo was also closed on Tuesday.
