No logic in Bangladesh refusing to play Test series in Pakistan: Coach Misbah-ul-Haq

Misbah said it would be a huge disappointment for the Pakistani players if Bangladesh didn't come in January. "I just think they are making a lame excuse to not come to Pakistan and if this happens it would be a huge injustice to Pakistan. Just when teams are starting to come here and play without any problems, Bangladesh is making lame excuses to avoid us in Tests," said Misbah. Misbah feels that Pakistan cricket had already suffered enough not getting to play Test cricket and if Bangladesh didn't come it meant Pakistan's next Test series would be in the summer of 2020 in England. "Then how can we blame our players if they don't perform. It is never easy for any player to perform after not playing a format for four to five months at a stretch." Misbah also expressed his satisfaction over his team's performance and conceded that it had been a tough three months for him and his team. "We have been through difficult times and that is why this performance is good for us. Especially when we were bowled out for 191 on the first day to come back like this is pleasing. I thought our two openers played really well in the second innings," Misbah said.

India's 10-year bonds turn top performer in Asia following RBI's own 'Operation Twist'

With investment and consumption both weak in India, policy makers are trying to spur credit and lift growth from a six-year low. 'The relentless steepening of the yield curve is getting pacified by the RBI coming in and signaling 'I am here to support,'' said Lakshmi Iyer, chief investment officer for fixed income at Kotak Mahindra Asset Management Co. in Mumbai. 'This move brings some sort of sanity check.' The Reserve Bank of India in a statement late Thursday said it will buy 100 billion rupees of the 2029 debt and sell an equal amount of notes maturing next year in an auction on Monday. The concept is similar to Operation Twist used by the Fed in 2011-2012 in an effort to cheapen long-term borrowing and spur bank lending. The Fed then swapped short-term Treasury securities for longer-term government debt, which reduced the gap between two- and 10-year yields. In India, the term premia — difference between the benchmark 10-year yield and the RBI's policy rate — is at 160 basis points. That's higher than the typical spread of less than 100 basis points. The steepening of the curve in the longer end reflects concerns about the government adding to record borrowing as it gets ready to prime the economy. The slowdown has reinforced doubts about the administration meeting its budget aim of 3.3% of GDP this fiscal year. 'The RBI should increase the intensity of its Operation Twist via more vigorous switches of government bonds focused on securities in the tenure of 7-10 year plus,' said Madhavi Arora, economist at Edelweiss Securities Ltd. Future operations will depend on the success of Monday's auction, traders say. 'There's limited appetite for short-end bonds so the RBI will need to offer higher yields,' said Naveen Singh, head of fixed-income trading at ICICI Securities Primary Dealership.

FIR against expelled BJP lawmaker in Uttarakhand for 'casteist' remarks

'Based on the complaint of BJP legislator from Jhabreda Deshraj Karnwal, FIR has been lodged against Champion, MLA from Khanpur assembly segment in Haridwar under IPC sections 153A (promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, place of birth, residence, language ), 295 A (deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs), 506 (criminal intimidation), 509 (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman)and relevant sections of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities )Act,' he said. 'We are carrying out investigation in this matter and evidence is being gathered,' Bisht added. When contacted, Champion denied having made any such remarks. 'In April this year, I had challenged Karnwal for a public duel, but he didn't come forward. I have not made any castiest remarks against him or his wife. He is just trying to malign my image. I will give my statement before the officials concerned and tell them what had happened. This is a conspiracy against me but he won't be successful in it,' he said. In July this year, the BJP had expelled Champion for six years from the party after a video surfaced where the lawmaker was seen brandishing guns while dancing. Champion was already under suspension at the time after he had allegedly threatened a journalist. He was among the nine MLAs who had rebelled against former Congress chief minister Harish Rawat in 2016 and joined BJP. Public tussle between the two legislators has been embarrassing for the party for more than a year. In April this year, the rivalry between two warring MLAs from Haridwar had even reached even high court. Champion had filed a police complaint in April this year in Roorkee against Karnwal, for allegedly obtaining false caste certificate in May 2007 from Uttarakhand. He had moved high court, saying he was not satisfied by police's response on his complaint and wanted a free and fair probe on his police complaint. Despite repeated attempts, Karnwal couldn't be contacted for his comments. DailyhuntDisclaimer: This story is auto-aggregated by a computer program and has not been created or edited by Dailyhunt.

Sub-panel for settling Rourkela Steel Plant land issues formed

The displaced persons raised the issue of return of unused and surplus land of RSP to the original tribal owners and the officials committed to examine it. The administration plans to identify unused and surplus land and the sub-committee would file a report to the RDC for appropriate action. The Collector further said the RPDAC would recommend the RSP to consider giving employment to eligible displaced persons left behind beyond the list of 1,098 displaced persons that was cleared by the Supreme Court in 1993. The house also impressed upon the RSP authorities to take up CSR projects for peripheral development in consultation with the district administration, elected representatives and the local displaced persons.The RPDAC meeting should be held at frequent intervals for timely settlement of grievances of the displaced persons, claimed president of RSP & Marshalling Yard Displaced Persons' Committee Lachu Oram. The last RPDAC meeting was held in February 2013. While similar decisions were taken, no serious efforts were made to implement them.Sundargarh MP Jual Oram, MLAs from Rourkela, Birmitrapur and Rajgangpur, SP Nayak, Shankar Oram and CS Rajen Ekka respectively, were present, among others.

The era of tech monopolies

According to a report put together by the analytics and mobile market data firm App Annie, the top five apps in terms of most downloads in the world were (starting from the most downloaded) Facebook, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Snapchat. The first (and top) four of these are now owned by Facebook. Facebook also put in a spirited bid to acquire Snapchat, but hasn't yet managed to bag that one. The next five are Skype, Tiktok, UC Browser, YouTube, and Twitter. The second half of the list shows the increasing dominance of Chinese firms in the app market. Both TikTok (owned by ByteDance) and UC Browser (owned by the Alibaba Group) are headquartered in China. Google (that owns YouTube), Microsoft (that owns Skype) and Twitter are the rest of the competitors at the top. Given the amount of bad press that Facebook has received in the past few years — the Cambridge Analytica scandal, the evident disregard for user privacy, the amplification of misinformation and fake news, even the promotion of violence in countries such as Myanmar — the popularity of Facebook-owned apps is surprising. And all this while it continues to be banned in the world's most populous nation — China. While the company has run into legal trouble in Europe after the introduction of a strict data protection regime, and is currently under investigation over antitrust allegations in the United States, its persistent dominance in the app universe has risks. Others such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Apple have also managed to create monopolies within different markets. This sort of monopoly and the resulting concentration of manipulable user data within big tech companies must sound alarm bells in the minds of users and governments.

Ferran Corominas' brace fires FC Goa to top of ISL standings

Goa were rewarded for their efforts in the 19th minute when Coro drew first blood. Jerry Mawihmingthanga was robbed of the ball in his own half by Brandon, and he did well to find Jackichand. The Manipuri winger produced a defence splitting through ball for Boumous who in turn squared it for Coro inside the box and the striker made no mistake to find the back of the net. Lobera was forced into making a substitution in the 20th minute as Jackichand could not continue after injuring his ankle and Seiminlen Doungel was thrown into action. Odisha were struggling to play out from the back and turned over possession at frequent intervals as they were unable to cope with Goa's high press. Against the run of play, Odisha churned out their first chance of the match when Aridane Santana spotted a run by Guedes and squeezed in a superb through ball for him. But the Argentine's poor first touch let him down and his subsequent shot from a tight angle sailed off-target. Gombau made two changes at the break with Xisco and Gaurav Bora coming off the bench. He was also forced to use his third substitution in the 49th minute as Jerry came off worse after a challenge from Mourtada Fall. Odisha came close to drawing level in the 59th minute when Das' inch-perfect cross was headed towards goal by Xisco but for an alert Mohammad Nawaz, who pulled off a brilliant save to keep the scoreline unchanged. At the other end, Arshdeep Singh did well to stop Doungel's attempt from point-blank range. However, it were Goa who scored the next goal. Brandon scored in the 85th minute with a long-range effort after Arshdeep failed to make a routine save. In the 89th minute, Goa further extended their lead when Coro converted from the spot.

What none expected: A tornado in Surrey

hertsey resident Verity Boultwood said the tornado blew the roof off her conservatory."In the past it has withstood bad weather," she said. "One of my neighbours has smashed windows. Trampolines have flown across the gardens here."Fellow resident Philip Passey said he froze when he saw the tornado, which he thought lasted about 40 seconds. He described the scene: "The leaves were going horizontal. I said, 'That looks like a tornado.' There was a huge roar, then nothing."A trampoline lifted up in the air, like it weighed nothing, and was thrown across the garden. My daughter came downstairs and said the shed roof had gone."One shed has disappeared; one blown apart, one has no roof on it. My son said there was a tree across the garden, two cars have been written off. In the farm across the road, we heard a dog broke his leg."Many parts of England are under water because of non-stop rain this month.Ninety-four flood warnings and 232 less severe flood alerts are in place across England, and the Environment Agency said flood defences had been erected in a number of areas. A section of the M23 motorway from London to Brighton has been flooded.Doug Wilson, flood duty manager at the Environment Agency, said: "Environment Agency teams have put up temporary flood defences in a number of locations including Bradford on Avon, Leatherhead, Guildford and Canterbury.

All eyes on Raghubar-Saryu battle, poll results in Jamshedpur by late evening

The counting will start with postal ballots and postal ballots received till 7.45 am will be counted. There will be assembly-wise scanners for the counting of electronically transferred postal ballot system (ETPBS),' Ravishankar Shukla, deputy commissioner cum district election officer, East Singhbhum, told the media late on Saturday. Officials said after Baheragora, counting will be done for Ghatsila, Potka, Jugsalai, Jamshedpur East and Jamshedpur West. This time, the counting will be table-wise and not round-wise. CCTVs will be monitoring the entire counting process of EVMs and videography of the counting process will also be done. In case of any technical fault in controlling units, VVPAT slips will be counted in such seats. Shukla said 700 police personnel would be deployed at the counting centre on Monday and eight checking barriers have been set up. No one without authorised passes would be allowed on the counting premises and even candidates would not be allowed to carry mobile phones inside the counting halls. Counting agents will have to enter the centre by 7am. Election Commission of India (ECI) have appointed six separate observers for monitoring the counting process. Two additional observers — BC Patra for Jamshedpur West seat and Partha Sarathi Sen Sharma for Jamshedpur East seat — will look after the process.

Modi speech makes Congress seek urgent NIC meet

There is a context to the controversy. Home minister Amit Shah's statement in both Houses of Parliament are in the public domain," Sharma said as the Congress posted several videos of Shah unambiguously declaring the plan to implement the NRC and clarifying the link with the CAA.Asked about Modi's charge that the Congress was spreading falsehood and speaking lies on the issue, Sharma said: "The Prime Minister should speak with responsibility. It is the right and duty of the Congress to raise the concerns of the people and point out that the government has created an atmosphere of insecurity in the country. "We had cautioned the government in Parliament that this would not be tolerated by the people. There should be no politicking on basic issues like citizenship. And it is not the Congress or the other Opposition parties that have threatened to extend the NRC to the entire country. It is the government that did it."Sharma added: "Students who are protesting don't belong to any foreign country. They are also patriots and have every right to protest if the Constitution comes under attack. Who is responsible for the eruption in the Northeast? "The BJP is in government in Assam and there was peace for so long in the state. Who disturbed the peace? The Prime Minister should have provided a healing touch; students from not only Jamia and AMU have come out, thousands of others from IITs, IIMs and other reputed institutions see this as an attack on the basic structure of the Constitution." Another spokesperson, Manish Tewari, tweeted: "The Prime Minister is saying no NRC. Why did they then commit it in their manifesto? Why did Amit Shah say there would be a national NRC? The Prime Minister's speech is nothing but an exercise in sophistry. The countrywide protests have thrown them off."The chief ministers of Congress-ruled states as well as friendly parties like the BJD in Odisha and the JDU in Bihar have refused to implement the NRC, bringing the Centre under abnormal pressure.Even Maharashtra is unlikely to toe the Centre's line. The Jharkhand election results on Monday will make it clear whether the state would heed Modi's call or not.The Prime Minister might have tried to wriggle out of this difficult situation by describing the NRC fears as baseless without actually announcing a rollback.The Congress, however, is not ready to allow this escape route and wants a formal commitment. That's why the demand for a National Integration Council meeting where the chief ministers can haul up the Centre for creating this mess. The agitation is not going to end after the Prime Minister's vague assurances. While activists dismissed Modi's claims as "lies" - social media is flooded with negative reactions - the Congress is continuing its plan to build a parallel movement, with Rahul Gandhi leading a sit-in at Rajghat on Monday. Reports of brutal use of force in Uttar Pradesh have aggravated concerns and bitterness. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra rushed to the state to meet the families of police violence.Rahul too demonstrated his aggressive intent by appealing to the youths not to give up. He said in two tweets: "Dear Youth of India, Modi & Shah have destroyed your future. They can't face your anger over the lack of jobs & damage they've done to the economy. That's why they are dividing our beloved & hiding behind hate. We can only defeat them by responding with love towards every Indian."Dear Students of India, No Indian student should allow Modi-Shah to divide India the way they are doing. Students of India, you are the future of India and India is your future. Let's stand together and fight their hate."

Gandhi biographer and prominent public intellectual Ramachandra Guha

They frame historian, Gandhi biographer and prominent public intellectual Ramachandra Guha being pulled and pushed and arrested by policemen in Bengaluru for no evident crime other than holding up a placard showing a picture of the father of India's Constitution, BR Ambedkar, and articulating his own disagreement with the regime's new law. They frame intellectuals and writers and activists being hauled away from protest venues in Delhi. They frame, essentially, a nervous and paranoid government that appears to have lost the ability to either listen to its intellectuals or its young, or to talk to them. A government that seems to respond to dissent only by suppressing it — by imposing Section 144, through arbitrary detention and by snapping voice, internet and sms services. That the world's fastest growing internet market is also now a global leader in cutting off access to small and large swathes of its population, that the internet clampdown as a way of blocking protests is becoming increasingly commonplace, and that in this, India is in the company of countries like Myanmar, Pakistan, Sudan, Syria and Venezuela, is a reason for deep embarrassment to all those who take pride in the argumentativeness of its democracy. The summary attempt to crack down on dissent against the citizenship law takes place in a grey context. In the backdrop of the current moment is the revocation of Article 370 in Kashmir in August in a manner that has isolated and continues to isolate its people, the detention of thousands of its political workers and leaders, including 83-year-old former chief minister Farooq Abdullah — his incarceration was extended by three months a few days ago — and the longest ever continuous internet shutdown in the country. The scenes that played out in the national capital on Thursday have sent out the signal that the apparent obduracy and imperviousness of government is not limited to its treatment of a long-standing trouble spot. It is the reflexive response to all disagreement and discontent. This is a disquieting signal to the country. There has also been violence and arson, as in Seelampur in the capital, in parts of Lucknow and Mangalore on Thursday. It is incumbent on the state governments and the entire political establishment, including the Opposition, to do whatever it takes to keep the peace. But in doing so, the world's largest democracy cannot look like it cannot accommodate its young who disagree, it cannot afford to signal that it is so ill at ease with itself. At any time, and especially when its economy is in slowdown, India risks a lot if it begins to be seen as a place where the dissenter's mind is not without fear.

Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor to star in Luv Ranjan's next

Besides this, Ranjan has produced Ajay Devgn starrer De De Pyaar De. His upcoming productions also include Jai Mummy Di, Chhalaang and Malang. The director is known for his Punchnama films. Ranbir Kapoor did not have a release in 2019. Earlier, Brahmastra was supposed to release this year but was then postponed to 2020. Apart from Brahmastra, Ranbir has YRF's Shamshera also in his kitty. It has also been speculated that he will be seen in Kabir Singh director Sandeep Reddy Vanga's next, but no official announcement has been made about the same yet. In May 2018, it was announced that Ranbir Kapoor and Ajay Devgn will be seen together in Luv Ranjan's next. Recently, there were rumours that the project has been shelved, but Ranjan told PTI a few days ago, 'It hasn't been shelved. The work is going on. There will be a proper announcement. That's when I will talk about it.' While the names of Ranbir and Shraddha have been announced, Devgn seems to be nowhere in the picture. For Shraddha Kapoor, 2019 was a rocky year. The actor did not find much success with the pan-Indian film Saaho but her film Chhichhore managed to please moviegoers. Shraddha is currently promoting her upcoming film Street Dancer 3D where she stars alongside Varun Dhawan. She will also be seen in Baaghi 3 with Tiger Shroff in 2020.

Class 10 study material by MP Education Department depicts Gandhi negatively

The controversial line reads: 'Kubuddhi was a wicked man and led a life of drinking and gandhijis.' 'It happened due to a misprint. The word which should have been there is 'gambling' instead of 'Gandhiji'. It can be a printing mistake, but there is no mistake of any expert who prepared the question paper,' Vasania told ANI. 'Both the words begin with the letter 'G' and therefore it could have resulted in the mistake. The lesson, which the module relates to is called 'Pot of Gold' which is a part of the moral story,' added Vasania. 'While teaching the students, we strike out the mistake and use the term gambling, which should have been there in the first place,' she added. Congress spokesperson Vibha Patel said that an inquiry will be conducted into the matter and all the people behind the lapse will be taken to task. 'It is indeed a very big mistake. An inquiry will be conducted against all those involved in the making of the question paper. Action will be taken against them. The Congress party has never supported this kind of mentality,' said Patel. DailyhuntDisclaimer: This story is auto-aggregated by a computer program and has not been created or edited by Dailyhunt.

Everton held by Arsenal as new boss Carlo Ancelotti watches on

Gylfi Sigurdsson hit the side-netting from a free kick and striker Cenk Tosun could not get any direction on a sharp low cross by Tom Davies as the home side dictated proceedings. Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford produced a superb reflex save to deny Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from close range shortly after the break before an almighty goalmouth scramble nearly resulted in an own goal at the other end. Neither side could find a breakthrough in the closing stages with Arsenal packing their defence to deal with a flurry of Everton crosses into their penalty area.

Facebook removes fake profiles

hile the technology used to create the fake profile photos was most likely a far cry from the sophisticated AI systems being created in labs at big tech companies like Google, the network of fake accounts showed "an eerie, tech-enabled future of disinformation," said Graham Brookie, director of the Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Lab.Scientists have already shown that machines can generate images and sounds that are indistinguishable from the real thing or spew vast volumes of fake text, which could accelerate the creation of false and misleading information. This year, researchers at a Canadian company even built a system that learned to imitate the voice of the podcaster Joe Rogan by analysing audio from his old podcasts. "This was a large, brazen network that had multiple layers of fake accounts and automation that systematically posted content with two ideological focuses: support of Donald Trump and opposition to the Chinese government," Brookie said in an interview.

Yelahanka Old, New Towns 3 km apart lack of coordination between Railways and BBMP

Anyone heading from Yelahanka Railway Station toward Bengaluru City, Doddaballapur, Yelahanka New Town and West Bengaluru need to take the main road and go around Kamakshamma Layout and the Police Station Circle to reach the other side. BBMP is willing to fund the project and wants the Railways to execute it for them. A BBMP official, requesting anonymity, told TNIE, "Saving 3km in travel time in Bengaluru is equivalent to saving 10 times that distance. We have submitted our proposal to the Railways. We spend lakhs of rupees to improve the city's roads, but clearing bottlenecks like this costs the government much less and will ease traffic enormously," he said. With the city's growth now headed towards Bengaluru North, implementing it is absolutely vital, the official added. Asked about the long pending issue, a senior railway official said this specific RUB involves a few complications. "The RUB will need to pass below the railway electrical lines, which are crucial for running trains. The electric masts holding the wires need to be reshifted. Though we have built many RUBs in the city, this is a major project for us. BBMP wants a 9-metre wide bridge with two concrete boxes in it," the official explained. The Railways is comfortable about executing the job for a width of 5-6 metres, without affecting the electrical installations. "Anything beyond that width will involve heavy costs for shifting these posts and wires. The issue is pending with our traction distribution department," the source said.Despite repeated calls, Yelahanka MLA SR Vishwanth, who is known to have a keen interest in the project, as well as top BBMP engineers, did not respond.

Spunk is very necessary and it is very natural, it is not artificial, not cosmetic, it is genuine. I told her I do not give her permission to do [the] film because I have not chosen her... In Switzerland, we send legal notices very simply. I sent her an email which is accepted there as legal. No, never.

Faiz's brother, Faraz Khan, told The Indian Express: 'He was shot in the abdomen, there are over a dozen eyewitnesses and the police know who can shoot from the front.

I want to request them to accept me as I am," the actress said. The role of Shiva in the AltBalaji show was, however, not easy for Shweta too - initially.

From The Irishman to Marriage Story, the top 10 streaming films of 2019

Films like The Irishman find a home online because they can't find one in traditional theatres. At least not anymore. Which is why some of the biggest filmmakers in the world -- everyone from Alfonso Cuaron and Steven Soderbergh to Michael Bay and Fernando Meirelles -- have successfully been lured online. A year after Netflix and Amazon tested the waters with films such as Roma and Cold War -- both were massively successful at the Oscars -- streamers in 2019 emerged as legitimate movie studios, churning out films for all demographics, and of various scales. With new players such as Disney and Apple entering the fray, the streaming wars have officially begun. There will be a lot of drivel, of course. And tragically, there will be gems that are lost amid all the mediocrity. But that is the purpose of lists such as this. Here are the top 10 streaming movies of 2019, from number 10 to number one. Religion, tradition, and identity clash in director Minhal Baig's deeply personal film, released on Apple TV+ on December 6 after a buzzy Sundance premiere. Hala is a story about the immigrant experience, and the often volatile mixture of American values and Asian attitudes. Playing out like a two-hour-long post-credits scene, El Camino is an unexpected but not entirely unnecessary new chapter in the Breaking Bad saga. It is about the corrosion of one man's psyche, and the eventual rebirth of his soul. On this list, you will see several examples of legitimately great movies that were, for some reason, buried by Netflix. The absolute disappearance of Paddleton, director Alex Lehmann and writer-actor Mark Duplass' follow-up to their tremendous Blue Jay, was particularly difficult to swallow. But spreading the word about it, in whatever way possible, is truly why lists such as this exist. Had it been granted a theatrical release, an Oscar nod for Ray Romano would've been on the cards. Delicately animated and deftly written, Netflix's I Lost My Body is one of the finest films of 2019; a stunningly original vision that will no doubt find tremendous love at the Oscars, just like it did at the Cannes Film Festival, where it premiered to warm enthusiasm over the summer. Featuring breathtaking visuals and strong central performances, Amazon's The Aeronauts is a film brimming with technical excellence. Reuniting Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones for the first time on screen since The Theory of Everything, it is also a film about human ambition, although it being sneakily retrofitted as a feminist fable might be morally questionable to some. A year after it was reported that Donald Glover and Rihanna were working on a secret project together in Cuba, the results were ready to be shown to the world.Amazon's Guava Island isn't the duet album that many would've expected, nor is it a concert documentary. It's a narrative film - at 55 minutes barely long enough to be called a feature - that adds to the aura of Glover's alter ego, Childish Gambino, and reasserts his stature as one of America's foremost creative artistes. Velvet Buzzsaw is a deliriously entertaining and frighteningly pulpy movie, in which director Dan Gilroy attempts to understand the co-dependent relationship between critic and creator, and between art and commerce. It features an unhinged Jake Gyllenhaal performance, which, on several occasions, will convince you that he's channelling Nicolas Cage. Some swear by Netflix's unbeatable slate of romantic comedies, others commend the service for investing handsomely in niche properties that older studios wouldn't touch with a barge pole. What unites these genres is that they are no longer - broadly speaking - available to enjoy on the big screen. The Perfection is the sort of movie that seems to have been designed for lazy home viewing; a near-perfect masterpiece of modern exploitation cinema with a subversive feminist slant. Released on Netflix after an unconventional theatrical roll-out, The Irishman is a story about men coming to terms with their mortality — both in front of and behind the camera. A long-gestating passion project about life, loss, and misplaced priorities, it's certainly not a film that even Martin Scorsese, in all his immortal brilliance, could have made as a young man. Director Noah Baumbach's new film, released on Netflix like his last, The Meyerowitz Stories,is utterly heartbreaking. Marriage Story is so authentic that watching it occasionally feels like eavesdropping on a couple in their most vulnerable moments. Alternately understated and ham-fisted, it is a love story about falling out of love.

Police shot Lucknow protester: Family

ttar Pradesh director-general of police Om Prakash Singh has said the police did not fire during Thursday's protests."My brother had gone to a medical store to buy medicine for his wife, Shumma Khatun, who is pregnant. He was shot while returning," Vakil's younger brother Taufiq Ahmad said at the family's home in Daulatganj. "A young man who took him to hospital with the help of two constables told me that my brother was shot in the abdomen by a sub-inspector near Satkhanda police outpost."Taufiq said that this was the reason that an angry crowd of protesters torched the outpost. Vakil was the eldest among five brothers.His mother Nagma Khatun said: "My innocent son was killed by the police. He had nothing to do with the protest. He didn't even have an opinion on these issues as he had no time for it."Gilani had left home to visit his maternal grandmother on Thursday "because the schools were closed and he wanted to enjoy the day", his father, Mohammad Naeem, said."Two young men who took him to hospital said he was on his bicycle when he suffered a bullet injury and fell on the road," Naeem said. "They didn't know who shot him. They said the police were firing in the air but some people in the crowd too were carrying firearms."Shamim's father Mohammad Wasim said: "My son was shot in the abdomen and left leg while returning home from a construction site, where work had been suspended because of violence in the city. We don't know who shot him." DailyhuntDisclaimer: This story is auto-aggregated by a computer program and has not been created or edited by Dailyhunt.

Hard-boiled eggs cause food poisoning outbreak in US

The eggs were sold to retailers and food service operators in plastic pails and could be used in products like salads. The CDC said retailers and food service operators should wash and sanitize any surfaces that may have come in contact with the eggs or packaging, since listeria can spread easily. The warning does not apply to Almark's hard-boiled eggs sold directly to consumers. Nor does it apply to eggs hard-boiled at home or in restaurants and stores. The CDC also said people at higher risk for listeria should confirm whether a store or restaurant is using Almark's eggs before buying or ordering products with hard-boiled eggs. If the store or restaurant does not know, officials say not to buy the product. Pregnant women and people with cancer are 10 times more likely than others to get a listeria infection, while people on dialysis are 50 times more likely, the agency said. People who are 65 and older are four times more likely. A person who answered the phone at Almark Foods in Gainesville, Georgia, said the company did not have any comment. The company has four manufacturing facilities and delivers nationwide, according to its website. In a letter to the FDA in August, Almark said it had taken corrective actions after two swabs taken by the agency in February at its facility tested positive for listeria. ...

Looking for a new escapade? Here are six colourful destinations to escape the winter blues

Jodhpur, India With thousands of houses in every imaginable shade of blue, Jodhpur, on first glance, may seem like an unlikely candidate to escape the 'blues'. But with a pleasant winter temperature, historically-rich architecture and spicy street food, it makes for a brilliant getaway. The sand-coloured Mehrangarh Fort is one of India's largest forts. Other interesting experiences include a peaceful stroll through the Mandore Gardens — to admire its many temples and manicured landscapes — and the sampling of local delicacies, such as mirchi bada and pyaaz ki kachori. Chefchaouen, Morocco Popularly referred to as the 'Blue City' of Morocco, Chefchaouen is a bright and cheerful feast for the eyes, with its myriad houses and shops, all painted in brilliant shades of azure, iris and indigo. Warmed by the North African sun and buffeted by the sounds and scents of the city's vibrant souks, Chefchaouen entices with the smell of freshly-ground spices, and with the exuberant haggling of bargain hunters bidding on hand-crafted treasures. With an average temperature of 16 °C during the winter months, it's ideal for travellers. If you really want to turn up the heat though, you can spend time sweating it out in the city's many hammams (traditional Turkish baths). Bo-Kaap, Cape Town, South Africa While it is winter for the northern half of the planet, it is summer in Cape Town! If you are seeking colour, sunshine and spice, spend a day exploring the historic Bo-Kaap neighborhood with its vivid jewel-toned houses and cobblestone streets. Meaning 'above the Cape' in Afrikaans, Bo-Kaap is also known as the Cape Malay Quarter and the epicenter of Cape Malay culture in the city. A mix of Indonesian and European influences dating back to the Dutch colonial period, Bo-Kaap promises an intoxicating mix of restaurants and markets to enjoy. Musts include sampling the sweet and spicy traditional Cape Malay curry, and a visit to the Bo-Kaap Museum, housed in a renovated building from the 1760s. Viejo San Juan, Puerto Rico One of the top emerging travel destinations for 2020, San Juan is popular for its rich history, delicious cuisine, vibrant nightlife and colourful Spanish architecture in its traditional center, known as Viejo San Juan, literally meaning 'Old San Juan'. The best way to explore this cobble-stoned beauty is on foot. Whether wandering around the beautiful plazas and soaking up some sun during the day or dancing the night away with some friendly locals to the sounds of Salsa, Flamenco, Cha-Cha and Jazz at an impromptu street party, a visit to San Juan is a surefire cure to the winter blues. Willemstad, Curaçao, Netherlands Antilles With traditional Dutch architecture in vivid hues of orange, pink and yellow, the vibrant capital of the Caribbean island of Curaçao provides a tropical dose of colour therapy for anyone struggling with the winter blues. A truly photogenic UNESCO World Heritage site, Willemstad overflows with inspiring opportunities to brighten your mood (and your social media feed): from shopping for fresh fruit at the famous floating market to strolling along the cobblestone streets of the historic waterfront, and clicking the perfect shot of the harbour from Queen Emma Bridge. Highly endorsed for its beaches, relaxation, snorkeling and sunny weather, Willemstad truly has something for everyone. With over 20 beaches to explore in a relatively compact area, renting a car is one of the best ways to discover the island's stunning natural beauty. George Town, Penang Combining the old with the new, the capital of the Malaysian island of Penang is a lively destination steeped in history and full of contemporary and traditional artwork. Perfect for 'snowbirds', George Town knows no real winter. With an abundance of sunshine from December to April and pleasant weather throughout the year, this UNESCO World Heritage city is best explored on foot. Travellers can admire the stunning street art, old houses, ancient Chinese shops, beautiful temples, mosques and churches. Hailed as the foodie capital of Malaysia, the city has fully embraced food trucks, offering an incredible array of dining options, including everything from Indian, Cantonese and Malay to Hokkien Chinese cuisine. Coffee lovers will also find many trendy cafes during their time in the city. DailyhuntDisclaimer: This story is auto-aggregated by a computer program and has not been created or edited by Dailyhunt.

Latest Tokyo Olympic ticket lottery: 1M offered; 23M sought

And now Japan residents are running out of chances. The next ticket offering in Japan will be early next year but will be open to Japan and non-Japan residents on a first-come, first-served basis. Overall, organizers say about 7.8 million tickets are available for all events. Organizers have said that at least 70% of the tickets will go to Japan residents. Large blocks also go to sponsors, international sports federations, national Olympic committees, and the International Olympic Committee. Millions are also sold outside Japan by official Olympic tickets resellers, which can charge a 20% handling fee on every ticket. They can also take advantage of fluctuations in currency exchange rates. The lucky — and unlucky — were quickly vocal in Japan on social media. "It's like a dream," said one. "What did I do wrong? This is unforgivable," said another. Ticket shortages have led some to question why they cannot find tickets for a local Olympics, which is being funded by billions in taxpayer money. The opening ceremony on July 24 features the most expensive ticket — 300,000 yen ($2,700). The most expensive ticket for the closing ceremony is 220,000 yen ($2,000). The demand is sure to create a vibrant secondary market and opportunities for ticket scalpers. Japan earlier this year passed a law that prohibits ticket scalping, with the penalty of a 1 million yen ($9,100) fine and a one-year jail term — or both. Three years ago at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, IOC member Patrick Hickey of Ireland was arrested on suspicion of ticket scalping. He is suspended from the IOC but remains a member and has denied any wrongdoing. The Japan law, however, has large loopholes and does not apply to tickets distributed for free or given away as gifts, or tickets without a purchaser's name. This could apply to many tickets coming from the IOC, the 200 national Olympic committees, or some major Olympic sponsors. The demand has driven up hotel prices and even created concerns about how Tokyo's efficient train system will handle the games. Part of the demand is simple to explain: Greater Tokyo has 35 million people and is one of the world's largest metro areas. Demand for Paralympic tickets is also surpassing supply. Paralympic organizers expect the 2.3 million tickets available will be sold before the Paralympics open on Aug. 25. This would also be a first. Organizers hope to raise about $800 million in ticket sales. This revenue makes up a large part of the privately funded operating budget of $5.6 billion. More than $3 billion of that revenue comes from more than 60 local sponsors, a record for local sponsorship. A national government audit report has said Tokyo will spend about $25 billion to organize the Olympics, all of which is public money except for the operating budget. Organizers dispute the figure and say it's half that much, part of a debate about what are — and are not — Olympic expenses.

Bihar man convicted of student's rape & murder

"In June this year, we arrested Rahul. On September 13, the CBI submitted a charge sheet and charges were framed on October 25 this year. A total of 30 witnesses were examined. Prosecution could not produce any evidence or witness. The final argument was concluded two days back and the court convicted him today (Friday). We are happy that the victim got justice." The engineering student of RTC Institute of Technology, Ormanjhi, was found dead in the morning at her home. She had been stripped, her face and torso were charred, a wire noose gripped her neck and there was blood in her private parts.The post-mortem report revealed that she was murdered after being raped.The CBI official said man's DNA was found from vaginal swab and nail clippings of the victim. "Our investigation revealed that Rahul was living in a room close to the victim's house around two-three months before the murder and disappeared right after the murder. He was identified as a resident of Dhurgaon in Nalanda district of Bihar. His parents, Umesh Prasad and Nilima Devi, were examined and their blood samples were taken for a DNA test," the CBI official added.Rahul's DNA matched with the samples collected from the body of the victim. "It was found that the suspect was a habitual criminal with a number of cases pending against him. He was facing trial at Patna court for raping a minor and had escaped from police custody. He had come to Ranchi and was living under aliases. While we were looking for him, we came to know that he was lodged in Lucknow jail for another case. We secured his production warrant," the official said.Scanning of the call detail records of the area where the accused lived helped the CBI crack the case."The convict was using a mobile phone that he switched off a day before the crime because he feared that Bihar police might detect his number. We found that his number was no more active in the area. That was a vital clue for us," the officialsaid.The father of the deceased, an employee of CMPDI in Ramgarh and a resident of Silli, expressed his satisfaction over the judgment. "I request the court to give him death sentence," he said.Rahul was provided legal assistance by District Legal Services Authority which nominated senior lawyer Vinod Kumar Singh. "Charges were framed against him under Sections 302 (murder), 376 (rape), 201 (causing disappearance of evidence) and 449 (house trespass)," Singh said.

Bill to promote Gandhi's legacy introduced in US House

The bill seeks a budgetary allocation of USD 30 million every year for the next five years to the USAID for this foundation. This foundation would have a governing council convened by governments of the United States and India and would oversee grants to NGOs in the areas of health, pollution and climate change, education and women empowerment, the bill says. It is being co-sponsored by six other Democratic lawmakers, three of whom are Indian Americans -- Dr Ami Bera, Ro Khanna and Pramila Jayapal. Three other Congressmen are Brenda Lawrence, Brad Sherman and James McGovern. The bill proposes the establishment of a Gandhi-King Scholarly Exchange Initiative with an allocation of USD 2 million for the next five years till 2025. It will comprise an annual educational forum for scholars from India and the US held alternately in the two countries. The conference will focus on the study of the works and philosophies of Gandhi and King and visits to historical sites. It also seeks to establish a Gandhi-King global academy, which would be a professional development training initiative on conflict resolution. The bill proposes an allocation of USD 2 million for each fiscal year from 2020 through 2025, implemented through the United States Institute of Peace (USIP). Welcoming the introduction of the bill, India's Ambassador to the US Harsh Vardhan Shringla said it 'reinforces the close cultural and ideological bonds' between India and the US. Noting that Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr were dedicated leaders fighting for social justice and social change, peace, and civil rights, the bill says that the use of non-violent civil disobedience is a shared tactic that has played a key role in defeating social injustice in India, the United States and other parts of the world. Observing that Dr King's effective use of Gandhi's principles was instrumental to the American civil rights movement, the bill says that there is a long history of civil and social rights movements in the United States and in India. This bill, which has the support of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, is being considered as a significant landmark initiative by the United States Congress to commemorate the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. There are two other resolutions on Gandhi pending in the Congress -- one by Senators Bob Menendez and Ted Cruz in the Senate and other by several other lawmakers led by Congressman Raja Kishnamoorthi in the House of Representatives. Sent to the House Foreign Affairs Committee for necessary action, the bill christened 'Gandhi-King Scholarly Exchange Initiative Act'' says the people of the United States and India have a long history of friendship and the world will benefit from a stronger United States-India partnership. Mahatma Gandhi never visited the US. But Martin Luther King travelled to India, which he described as a pilgrimage. In February 1959, Dr King and his wife Coretta Scott King travelled throughout India. By the end of his month-long visit, Dr King said, 'I am more convinced than ever before that the method of non-violent resistance is the most potent weapon available to oppressed people in their struggle for justice and human dignity.' Fifty years after Dr King's visit, All India Radio discovered a taped message by Dr King that emphasised the intellectual harmony between messages of Dr King and Gandhi on non-violent social action. 'Mohandas Gandhi, who employed the principle of satyagraha or fighting with peace, has come to represent the moral force inspiring many civil and social rights movement around the world,' the bill says.

Impeached US Prez Donald Trump says Democrats 'consumed with hatred'

"What is at risk here is the very idea of America," said Adam Schiff, the lawmaker who headed the impeachment inquiry, ahead of the vote. Trump will now stand trial in the Senate, where his Republicans hold a solid majority and are expected to exonerate him. The House vote came four months after a whistleblower blew open the scandal of Trump pressuring Ukraine's president to investigate his potential White House challenger in 2020, the veteran Democrat Joe Biden. Despite testimony from 17 officials that Trump leveraged his office for domestic politic gain, the president maintained his innocence throughout the impeachment inquiry — furiously denouncing it as a "witch hunt," an "attempted coup" and on Wednesday as an "assault on America." ...

'Missing': Posters mock Nitish Kumar for silence over citizenship law

After Kumar did not respond to his Twitter appeals, Kishor urged non-BJP chief ministers to step up their pressure so that the new bill is not implemented. 'The majority prevailed in Parliament. Now beyond judiciary, the task of saving the soul of India is on 16 Non-BJP CMs as it is the states who have to operationalise these acts. 3 CMs (Punjab/Kerala/WB) have said NO to #CAB and #NRC. Time for others to make their stand clear,' tweeted Kishor. Kishor feels his party's stand in Parliament on CAA could trigger a political churn in Bihar where assembly elections are due next year. After meeting the JDU chief, however, Kishor had said: 'Nitish Kumar said that we are not in favour of the National Register of Citizens (NRC). There is no problem with the CAA, but it becomes discriminatory when combined with the NRC.' Kishor had claimed that Kumar assured him that the party would stick to its old stand of opposing National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Bihar.

Independence Day 2019: When and where to watch PM Modi's address

Previously, PM Modi had used the annual event to announce several government programmes like 'Swachh Bharat', 'Ayushman Bharat', India's first manned space mission, and also to present a report card on its performance to highlight how the country has grown on his watch. Modi often invokes India's rich cultural heritage to rally support from citizens for government schemes — from cleanliness to ending female foeticide, and this time, water conservation — an issue Modi has prioritised for his second term. Some of his party leaders have noted that the prime minister's speech often has a surprise element and this speech may not be different. This will be Modi's sixth straight Independence Day speech, a number equal to late Atal Bihari Vajpayee, who gave six straight speeches between the years 1998-2003. In 2014, he gave a call for 'Swachh Bharat' and appealed for shunning communalism and casteism to focus on development. He made a strong pro-poor and pro-farmer and pro-youth pitch the next year. In 2016, he created waves by mentioning Balochistan, a Pakistani region where Baloch nationalists have been fighting the government forces. He gave a call for embracing people of Kashmir in 2017.

She had been stripped, her face and torso were charred, a wire noose gripped her neck and there was blood in her private parts.The post-mortem report revealed that she was murdered after being raped.The CBI official said man's DNA was found from vaginal swab and nail clippings of the victim. "Our investigation revealed that Rahul was living in a room close to the victim's house around two-three months before the murder and disappeared right after the murder. He was identified as a resident of Dhurgaon in Nalanda district of Bihar. His parents, Umesh Prasad and Nilima Devi, were examined and their blood samples were taken for a DNA test," the CBI official added.Rahul's DNA matched with the samples collected from the body of the victim. "It was found that the suspect was a habitual criminal with a number of cases pending against him. He was facing trial at Patna court for raping a minor and had escaped from police custody. He had come to Ranchi and was living under aliases. While we were looking for him, we came to know that he was lodged in Lucknow jail for another case. We secured his production warrant," the official said.Scanning of the call detail records of the area where the accused lived helped the CBI crack the case."The convict was using a mobile phone that he switched off a day before the crime because he feared that Bihar police might detect his number. We found that his number was no more active in the area. That was a vital clue for us," the officialsaid.The father of the deceased, an employee of CMPDI in Ramgarh and a resident of Silli, expressed his satisfaction over the judgment. "I request the court to give him death sentence," he said.Rahul was provided legal assistance by District Legal Services Authority which nominated senior lawyer Vinod Kumar Singh. "Charges were framed against him under Sections 302 (murder), 376 (rape), 201 (causing disappearance of evidence) and 449 (house trespass)," Singh said.

Winning series is the only goal: Hayden Walsh after levelling series against India

Walsh picked two wickets in the match to restrict India to 170 runs which they later easily chased with the help of Lendl Simmons' brilliant 67 not out. Compared to the Hyderabad ground, Walsh said that dew did not play much of a role in the second T20I, played at Greenfield International Stadium. "I do not think there was much of a dew factor tonight. I think knowing that we are going to bowl first and we have such a strong bowling team and once we do well, we would be able to restrict them to a good total," he said. The series decider between India and West Indies will be played on December 11. ...

Unions defend power cuts in Paris

I understand these workers' anger," the mustachioed union leader said."These are targeted cuts. You'll understand that spitting on the public service can make some of us angry."His remarks coincided with comments by Macron's office saying the President ruled out abandoning his reform plans but was keen to make improvements in talks with unions, ahead of a new day of talks between his Prime Minister and union leaders.The government is keen to reach a truce before Christmas, when millions of French people travel to their home place to spend the holiday with their families.

'Dabangg 3' review: Franchise has lost much of its 'swag'

It has lyrics like, "Innocent se pehle thhe kehti thi duniya/ Tu ne bigaad diya o meri muniya", and is symptomatic of what ails Dabangg 3.The law of diminishing returns kicks in with the third film of the action-comedy franchise, in what is both a prequel and a sequel to the first two films. Salman as Chulbul Pandey - the corrupt cop with a conscience who circumvents the law to turn crusader for the common man - returns with the usual beats. So you have the slo-mo walk, the slick talk, PJs to match his punches and a new nemesis to pulp into pieces. He continues to spoof himself, spouts his lines with the kind of irreverent coolth that first hooked us nine autumns ago, with the new film (somewhat) continuing with the mould of the desi spaghetti Western that distinguishes the franchise. It's a world that we are familiar with and once you walk into a Dabangg film, you know what you have signed up for.But then formula can also have freshness. There's nothing in Dabangg 3 that you haven't seen in a Dabangg film before. The wafer-thin plot is written entirely in the service of its leading man, with the narrative following the same template - action scene, romantic moment, song. action scene, romantic moment, song - over a butt-numbing 163 minutes.Dabangg 3 has Prabhudeva taking over the directorial reins (Abhinav Singh Kashyap directed the first film and Salman's brother Arbaaz - who returns as Chulbul's brother Makkhi here - helmed the second), with the film attempting to show its protagonist's journey from Dhaakad Chand Pandey to Chulbul Pandey. So you have a lost love (debutante Saiee Manjrekar, with a fixed pained expression and a permanent lisp) and an old enemy (Bali, played by south star Kichcha Sudeepa) who returns from the past to wreak havoc in Chulbul's present. Bali - the usually reliable Sudeepa plays him with an unimpressive mix of manic menace and cold-blooded charm - has a strange modus operandi to dispose off his victims. He buries them alive, plants roses over their graves and waters them every day. No prizes for guessing what happens to him in the end. Predictability is the pest that haunts Dabangg 3 throughout. Salman inhabits the character as effortlessly as he had in the first two films, and the trademark blistering entry - a Chaplin-meets-Buster Keaton set piece, with a dart gun taking over from the water hose in the first film - packs in enough to keep one invested in the first half. But the one-liners soon get stale, the dance moves get laboured and even Chulbul's cheekiness is not enough to save Dabangg 3 from turning into a blustering bore. There was some fun to be had in Dabangg, a part of which carried over to the sequel, but the jokes in Dabangg 3 are of the lowest standard, being limited to mostly fart jokes and gags involving falling pants and loose underwear. Very early on, a thief searching his victim's pockets wants to know why the man has gulab jamun in it. "Meri jeb phati hui hai, beta," smiles the old man. You get the drift? And yes, eeeeeeewwww! The Dabangg films are perhaps the last films you would expect to be loaded with messaging. But here there's everything from women empowerment to even an awkward reference to the government's 'Fit India Movement'. None of it works. With Salman leading from the front, the other players continue to be incidental to the plot. Sonakshi has precious little to do except preen and pout, while Sudeepa gets far lesser screen time than earlier Dabangg villains, Sonu Sood and Prakash Raaj. Arbaaz is, as usual, the weakest link - Khan brother Sohail pops in with a cameo, but you don't even want to know about it, trust us (what's this. Galaxy Cinematic Universe?!) Dimple Kapadia hams it up in a scene or two, while Pramod Khanna - stepping in for his late brother Vinod Khanna who played Chulbul's dad in the earlier films - is a shade better than Saiee Manjrekar. In the end, it's just Salman who stands tall in Dabangg 3. But this is clearly a franchise - if not a character - that's overstayed its "swagat". and lost much of its "swag".

Ground-breaking discovery cracks 60-year-old mystery of sun's magnetic waves

But no solid observational evidence is there as to why this happens. Usually the closer we are to a heat source, the warmer we feel. However, this is opposite of what seems to happen on the Sun -- its outer layers are warmer than the heat source at the surface. Scientists have accepted for a long time that magnetic waves channel energy from the Sun's vast interior energy reservoir, which is powered by nuclear fusion, up into the outer regions of its atmosphere. Therefore, understanding how the wave motion is generated and spread throughout the Sun is of huge importance to researchers. Now, an international team of scientists formed a consortium called 'Waves in the Lower Solar Atmosphere (WaLSA)' to carry out the research and used advanced high-resolution observations from the National Science Foundation's Dunn Solar Telescope, New Mexico, to study the waves. Consisting of 13 scientists, the team was led by Queen's University Belfast, spanning five countries and 11 research institutes. Dr David Jess from the School of Mathematics and Physics at Queen's who led the team explained: "This new understanding of wave motion may help scientists uncover the missing piece in the puzzle of why the outer layers of the Sun are hotter than its surface." "By breaking the Sun's light up into its basic colours, we were able to examine the behaviour of certain elements from the periodic table within its atmosphere, including silicon (formed close to the Sun's surface), calcium and helium (formed in the chromosphere where the wave amplification is most apparent)," the researcher added. "The variations in the elements allowed the speeds of the Sun's plasma to be uncovered. The timescales over which they evolve were benchmarked, which allowed the wave frequencies of the Sun to be recorded. This is similar to how a complex musical ensemble is deconstructed into basic notes and frequencies by visualising its musical score," he continued. The team then used super-computers to analyse data through simulations and found that the wave amplification process can be attributed to the formation of an 'acoustic resonator,' where significant changes in temperature between the surface of the Sun and its outer corona create boundaries that are partially reflective and act to trap the waves, allowing them to intensify and dramatically grow in strength. ...

Largest protest gathering in Hong Kong after polls

s dark fell, some protesters spray-painted anti-Beijing grafitti on a Bank of China building. Riot police stood on guard, restrained as protesters yelled "dogs" and "cockroaches.""It's Christmas time soon but we're not in the mood to celebrate anymore," said Lawrence, a 23-year-old student.He held a poster saying "My 2020 wish is universal suffrage", a reference to demands for an open vote on the city leader, currently the unpopular Beijing-backed Carrie Lam.Chants of "five demands, not one less" rang out, referring to demands ranging from Lam's resignation to an amnesty for detainees."I will fight for freedom until I die because I am a Hong Konger," said June, a 40-year-old mother dressed in black and seated on the grass in Victoria Park.The police said they arrested another 11 people, aged 20 to 63, confiscating weapons including army knives, firecrackers, bullets and a semi-automatic pistol, the first seizure of a handgun during the protests.There was no comment on Sunday from Hong Kong's government, though the day before it pledged to "humbly" listen and accept criticism. The new police boss promised a flexible approach to protests, with "both the hard and soft approach".Since June, Hong Kong has seen more than 900 demonstrations, processions and public meetings, many ending in violent confrontations. Nearly 6,000 people have been arrested. DailyhuntDisclaimer: This story is auto-aggregated by a computer program and has not been created or edited by Dailyhunt.

Protests disrupt life in Northeast; internet suspended in Tripura

he strike coincided with the bandh called by Left- leaning organisations, including the SFI, DYFI, AIDWA, AISF and AISA.Huge processions were taken out in different areas of Guwahati, with protesters raising slogans against the legislation.Agitators engaged in scuffle with security forces near the secretariat and Assembly buildings in Assam when they were prevented from moving forward, police sources said.In Dibrugarh district, bandh supporters clashed with CISF personnel. Three protesters sustained injuries as they tried to prevent workers of Oil India Ltd (OIL) from entering their offices in Duliajan.Train services across Assam were affected as picketers blocked the tracks, a spokesperson for the Railways said.Examinations were shelved and rescheduled by universities because of the bandh.The strike, however, had little impact in Bengali-dominated Barak Valley.In Tripura, agitators participating in a bandh called by the Neso set a market, where shops were owned mostly by non-tribals, on fire in Dhalai district, police said.However, no one was injured in the incident and the blaze at Manughat market was doused, a senior police officer said."Security forces have been deployed in the market but the incident has created fear among the non-tribals who owned most of the shops," the officer said.The bandh threw normal life out of gear in Dhalai, West Tripura and Khowai districts with residents remaining indoors while attendance in offices was thin, he said.Train services in the entire state came to a complete halt and vehicular movement was affected, the officer said.Educational institutions, banks, commercial establishments and markets were closed while public and private vehicles were off the roads in most places of Arunachal Pradesh in response to the strike called by the All Arunachal Pradesh Students' Union (AAPSU).Attendance in government offices was almost nil during the bandh which began at 5am, officials said.The All Manipur Students' Union (AMSU) observed a total shutdown in the state from 3am to 6pm, with the organisation warning that it would intensify its agitation if the bill was not immediately withdrawn.Incidents of tyre burning and vandalisation of vehicles were reported in Meghalaya capital Shillong, as protesters lobbed Molotov cocktails at a police vehicle damaging it in Mawlai area, East Khasi Hills district deputy commissioner M. W. Nongbri told PTI.Additional police and CRPF forces have been deployed in sensitive areas, officials said.The Citizenship (Amendment) Bill piloted by Union home minister Amit Shah was passed by the Lok Sabha with an overwhelming majority on Monday night.According to the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2019, non-Muslim minorities, who fled religious persecution in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan and moved to the country before December 31, 2014, will be accorded Indian citizenship.It, however, exempted tribal areas of Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram or Tripura, as included in the Sixth Schedule to the Constitution, and areas covered under The Inner Line Permit system, notified under Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulation, 1873.Shah has asserted that the Modi government was committed to protecting the customs and culture of the northeastern states in an effort to assuage concerns that the proposed law will hurt their distinct identity and alter regional demography.

Michael Bay: Get big TVs to watch 6 Underground

Big studios are making less original content. Netflix was a studio that wants to do original content and not sequels or franchises.' At the press conference, when reporters quizzed him if he has any regrets about not being able to show the audience 6 Underground on the big screen, Bay replied, 'Well, of course, you have regrets. I come from big cinema, and I appreciate the movie screen, but our whole business has changed in the past three to four years, and we have to get used to a new world. People want to consume things in different ways. And the movie-going experience in some way is sort of dying, which is sad. Netflix was brave enough to give us the money, and I'm appreciative that they wanted to do this with this cast. I think we have made a fun film and get a big TV to watch this.' 6 Underground is about six individuals played by Ryan Reynolds, Ben Hardy, Adria Arjona, Mélanie Laurent, Corey Hawkins and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, who fake their deaths, become ghosts and lose all their digital footprint to take on some evil people to make the world a better place. Ryan Reynolds on Bollywood: Love the celebration of life and musical approach to everything Made on a budget of about 150 million dollars, 6 Underground has been shot in Los Angeles, Italy and UAE. The opening shot of the film has a deadly car chase sequence filmed on the streets of Florida, Italy and that, for Michael Bay, is one of the film's highlights. 'The highlight for me was first convincing the city of Florida to allow us to do any of this. They've never done any of this in their 1200 years. So that was a real highlight, working in those very tight streets without harming anything around the famous artwork,' the director said. 6 Underground streams on Netflix from December 13.

'Abuse of power, obstruction': Charges unveiled against Trump impeachment

'No one, not even the president, is above the law,' Nadler said. Democrats have moved rapidly in their impeachment inquiry since launching an investigation on September 24 into allegations that Trump pressured Ukraine to investigate a Democratic political rival, former Vice President Joe Biden, in the 2020 elections. Democrats accuse Trump of abusing power by withholding aid to Ukraine, a vulnerable US ally facing Russian aggression, as well as dangling a possible White House meeting to get Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to launch the investigation. Republicans accuse Democrats of seeking to overturn the results of the 2016 election with a 'witch hunt' against Trump, who denies he did anything wrong. Trump is unlikely to be convicted in the Senate, given it is controlled by his party, but his impeachment may yet have an impact on the campaign trail as Democrats seek to retake control of the White House. ...

Maximum number of cases against helmet rule violators, penalty in Surat

While the business of helmet sellers also had gone up in the city. Deputy commissioner of police, traffic, Prashant Sumbe, said, 'We have topped in the state in registering number of cases and recovering penalty amount for helmet rule violation. The credit goes to our staff, who worked hard and also faced public anger. Now helmet has been made voluntary and we have informed our teams.' A total of 52,413 cases of helmet rule violation were through CCTV cameras and e-challans were issued to the tune of Rs 2,62,06,500 in Surat. A total of 88,433 cases were registered for helmet rule violation and a penalty of Rs 4.42 crore was collected. Vadodara registered 57,240 cases and collected penalty of Rs 2.86 crore; Rajkot 48,520 cases with penalty of Rs 2.42 crore and Ahmedabad 36,000 cases with penalty of Rs 1.8 crore, according to Surat traffic police. In the drive that began on November 1, the traffic police identified 60 traffic junctions in the city where bikers were checked. Apart from spot checking, the personnel posted in the Command and Control Centre at Police Bhavan monitored violations through CCTV cameras and issued e-challans with photographs of violators to their homes. After the rules as per amended the Motor Vehicles Act were implemented on September 15, the state government gave a relaxation time till October 31, mentioning that the rules would be strictly implemented from November 1. The checking was done for helmet, HSRP number plates and PUC certificates from two-wheeler riders. On December 4, the state government decided to temporarily suspend the helmet rule in the municipality and municipal corporation areas across the state. The decision came into effect on Thursday. 'We will continue with our drive and from next week onwards, we will focus on bikes with more than two people and seat belt violations by car drivers. Our objective is safety of the public and their lives. We will also penalise vehicles plying on BRTS routes in the city and traffic signal violators,' added Sumbe.
