Hi let’s read the Hindu for 1 December so the first article that we will read for today is the spread of AIDS can be stopped with science backed protocols so we know most transmission occurs in the key population of the female sex workers men having sex with men transgender
Community and injecting drug users prevention interventions using behavioral change never have stopped HIV spread significantly there are no vaccines for HIV despite extensive research involving the communities and making them the focus will prevent the infections persons with HIV end up with compromised immune system which leads to opportunist infections like tuberculosis
Fungal meritis pneumonia dial disease and variety of uh skin diseases the World Health Organization has developed gu guidelines for advanced HIV to prevent and dioniz these opportunistic uh infections these guidelines are still not widely implemented across the world Healthcare programs and they should Implement these in expense guidelines and tools to
Prevent the advancement of HIV today we have effective anti-al Med medications available to prevent multiplication of HIV people with HIV who are on those anti- roval medications can lead a healthy normal life without developing opportunistic infections anti detrial therapy soon after diagnosis it starts to take care of the patient wh guidelines recommended
Rapid art initiation for maximum benefit analysis also show that uh early anti- retrial therapy soon after diagn diagnosis has been done this cost effec Ive and cost-saving Health Care program managers need appropriate training on Sear scientific evidence to facilitate implementation at an appropriate time without any delay so overall 90% of anti
Retroviral uh the uh uh medicines that have been consumed were from India we have the time tested and proven capacity to manufacture HIV diagnostic medicines and robust supply chain mechanisms to deliver them worldwide SU questionably persons with HIV are on uninterrupted anti- retroviral therapy lead a normal
Life and it has been found that life expectancy is almost similar to people who do not have HIV and research has shown that recently approved for treatment and this is a boon for individual who have issues with oral medication adherence with all these newer anti-al therapy HIV disease
Is yet another Chron chronic manageable condition NCD care that is non-communicable disease care will be the key for persons with HIV to achieve uh longevity everyone living with HIV uh over the age of 40 should have a state stattin to reduce the risk of heart diseases even if they do not have
Rais cholesterol or heart disease the new guidance is based on the results of r study conducted globally to test whether stain reduced C cardiovascular risk in people with HIV is present so to demonstrate the results uh it is shown that taking P vastatin daily has uh
Reduced uh such uh risks and also has reduced any heart serious heart Related Disorders each new HIV case is a missed opportunity where a range of combination prevention options could be there to prevent the person from getting infected people have also uh dealt effective biomedical prevention Tools in pre-exposure profilic medications these
Oral medications are very effective in preventing HIV in the patients and adherence is very important because medications have to be taken daily and long acting injectable prep medications called Cabot grael has been also developed the Indian national HIV program should hurry to implement such interventions to
Stop the spread of uh this virus in India these effects were due to combination of effective anti-retroviral therapy which resulted in community viral separation and introduction of prep to prevent uh the HIV spread and the delays should not be there because uh it it will like take on many more
Lives next air pollution ution causes over 2 million deaths in India so outdoor air pollution from all sources account for 2.8 million deaths per year in India second only to China the research found that air pollution from fossil fuels industry power generation and transportation accounts for 5.1
Million extra debts a year these new estimates of fossil fuel related debts are larger than any previously impacted uh thing so the this is uh assess that excess death is caused due to the increased uh Global burden of disease 2019 study NASA satellite based fine particulate matter and population data
And Atmospheric chemistry Arsenal and relative risk modeling for 2019 were the scenarios that were checked phasing out fossil fuels would result in largest absolute reductions in attributable deaths in South South East and East Asia amounting to about 3.8 Millions annually uh the first scenario is that all fossil fuel related emission sources
That are phased out the second and third scenario assume that 25% and 50% of exposure reduction the fourth scenario REM removes all human induced anthropogenic causes of air pollution so the correspondence uh to 82% of the maximum number of air pollution deaths that could be averted by controlling the
Anthropogenic emissions according to the researchers the research has also found out that uh there has been some common conditions such as ischemic heart disease stroke chronic obstructive lung disease and diabetes which were also responsible for the deaths and also Alzheimer and Parkinson’s so faing fossil fuel is necessary to save
People’s life so let’s uh go to the next one India’s oil imports from Russia see a rebound so we know that India takes oil from Russia and uh after several plants came back online from planned maintenance and as fuel consumption Rose during Diwali preliminary data from ship tracking firms uh showed this the
World’s third biggest importer and consumer of oil has boosted purchases of Russian oil sold at a discount after imports from Russia were shed by some Western countries following the invasion of Ukraine so let’s go down to the next one next is uh 2023 will be the hottest
Year ever recorded says an un body so this year is said to be the hottest ever even world’s meterological organization warn that 2023 will be such a year where uh the records will will be broken for extreme weather conditions it is a defining cacaphony of broken records
Where wh Chief P Tellis said that greenhouse gas levels are record high global temperatures are record high sea level rise is record high and Antarctic sea level is record low okay so even ice is melting so we know the present condition next China calls for immediate sustained humanitarian TR in Israel
Hammer War so China is looking forward for a peaceful comprehensive ceasefire and ending of the fighting and they want a clear message opposing the forc transfer of Palestinian civilian population as well as calling for release of all civilians and hostages held captive the body must also demand that parties to conflict exercise
Restrain to prevent the conflict from widening and widening and uphold peace and stability in West Asia China said last week it welcomed a truce between Hamas and Israel which began on Friday where more than 100 Palestinian prisoners were released the truce which is scheduled to end early on Thursday
Has brought a temporary Hall to the fighting that had began after October 7th when Hammer militants poured over the border into Israel killing 1200 people mostly civilians and kidnapping about 240 according to Israeli Authority Israel’s subsequent air and ground campaign in Gaza has killed nearly 15,000 people mostly civilians according
To hammer officials and reduce large parts of the nor to a territory to a rubel okay so the next uh we can see EU defense spending to reach record uh 270 billion Euro in 2030 so this has been said that despite the record figure European Union must work towards are
Defense single Market to better coordinate spending and ensure block can act fast together next Cambodian uh PM hun Manet said uh says that they won’t build dams on the meon river because it can have impact on the ecology and also the river and environment and also the Marine population next no successful INF
Infiltration along bangl border so the next news uh says that uh the BSF director has said that adding that appropriate action is taken if someone is caught entering India in our knowledge no successful infiltration is there they also know it is not easy now no one is spared if caught action is
Taken and they are handed back to Bangladesh the jury was still out to why Pakistan broke the ceasefire pack act along the international border in jamu and October uh jamu in October and November the Pakistan Rangers could not provide a convincing reply at the flag meetings with the BSF so we know that
BSF is present in the uh Bangladesh as well as in the Pakistan border okay 31 drones were brought down by the Punjab border uh so drones are found lately in The Villages where there are cooperation from the border population to detect narcotics and other substances dropped
By the drones mostly uh there can be arms or drugs or money so the next news is silara Tunnel construction will restart soon so the national highway and infrastructure development Corporation nhidcl has said that the construction will begin soon no one can foresee such incidents so they are preparing that uh
They can go forward with more Geological Survey and safety audit before restarting the work there had been at least 21 previous collapse incident since the project began adding no one had ever been hurt in such incidents and such a situation was common at a Tunnel construction site the cabinet committee
On economic Affairs chaired by prime minister Narendra Modi approved the project to construct a 4.5 km long TW by directional tunnel between silara Bend and burot with Escape passages including approaches to dhasu yamuna 3 section so it will be a two-way by line the 41 workers who had been trapped in the area
But discharged from the aim RI cased with doctors certifying that none of them had any health issue representatives of uh Na Navi yoga engineering company meet the workers at the hospital and gave each of them a check of 2 lakh along with paid leaves buses from their respective States
Waited outside the hospital to take them home as the workers thank the medical and the rescue team so let’s see the next one India set to launch x-ray polyeter satellite says ISRO the Indian space research organization has announced to launch its first x-ray polar meter satellite expose act to
Investigate the polarization of intense x-ray sources the ISRO said that the uh space-based x-ray astronomy had been established in India and is focusing mainly on uh this uh domain of study the research supplementing traditional time and frequency domain uh will generate uh any data that will help in understanding the
Satellite will be launched from Polar satellite vehicle from the Satish dhavan space Research Center but the date has not been clarified Expos set is designed for observation from a low earth orbit non Sun synchronous orbit low incl inclination of approximately 6 Dee and will carry two scientific payloads with
These two payloads the mission is capable of simultaneous study of temporal uh spectral and polarization features of bright x-ray sources the mission objetive includes the measurement of X-ray polarization in energy band uh eleminating from x-ray sources and long-term spectal and temporal studies of cosmic x-ray sources
In the energy band the mission life is expected to be approximately 5 years the primary payload is pox that is polarimeter instrument in x-ray is is designed to measure poetry parameters specially the degree and angle of polarization in the medium of xray energy and the payload was developed by ran Research
Institute bangaluru with support from ISRO so please remember it the secondary payload is expect that is x-ray spectroscopy and timing payload which will provide spectroscopic information within the energy range the payload was developed by Ur satellite centers so one is Raman Center and other is ur please
Remember these two the next one uh is at rosar MAA PM gives out 51,000 appointment letters so this is the news where recruits are selected from all over the country will be joining government in various Ministries and uh departments uh that will uh help the government in various ways
Government reach the doorsteps of those who have never received any benefits he claimed that more than 13 CR people had risen out of poverty in the Last 5 Years according to the recent study next let’s see what is left UK government uh declines opposition demand for a cast census
So the article 246 of the Constitution stipulates who will make laws the right to conduct census rests the parliament of India and state cannot conduct the census a law has also been made regarding this so this is what the minister has said next U is uh loss and
Damage fund cleared one day uh cop of uh uh one day of cop 28th Summit so on the first day of 28th Conference of parties of cop a loss and damage fund meant to compensate countries already dealing with climate change fund has received received commitments wor $250
Million uh that are needed for this purpose the fund was first announced in cop 27 in uh Sharm L shik uh Egypt uh so that uh it has taken five separate meetings and transitional committees to get a position where the countries could anonymously agree on what will be done
Next by cop 28 President Sultan Ahmed Al Jabber the demand for such fund is nearly three decades old the UAE the host country and Germany made a financial commitment of $100 million each and us has also promised uh what they will pay several delegates said that an agreement will kick start to
Fund on the first day of cop was a positive start and was a good momentum on the terer of discussion on the days ahead so uh they are of the view to keep the temporary tempature below 1.5° C pre-industrial Level Representatives including uh heads of States from nearly 160 countries have confirmed attendance
At world climate action Summit on Friday and will make statements the World Bank will be the interim post of the fund for a period of four years all developing countries are eligible to apply for and every country has been invited to contribute to the fund payments are voluntary and uh
Certain percentage has been set apart for a category of countries called the least developed countries and small island developed Nations so they will be paid uh I guess more loss and damage fund uh from climate change cost about $1.5 trillion several developing countries and some of the poor has also
Lost lost a lot the fund as it stands Now does not specify how often it will be replenished Amit this hisory toric decision to provide the fund um there has been uh uh critical decision making uh that is happening absence of a defined replenishment cycle raises serious questions about the funds
Long-term stability un presidency for uh F facilitating the kickstarting of fund India has given key inputs during the transitional committee meeting and we thank the presidency for facilitating this so India has thanked uh the Pres presidency next nmc comes to rescue of displaced medical students in
Manipur so the nmc will uh provide the students uh the required uh help they require uh to appear for classes and examination in hybrid or online mode so that they can complete the study next navigates uh ready for its biggest exercise amid ocean engagements uh Indian Navy looks uh
Forward to Mark the Navy day on December 4th as it is gearing up to host its largest multilateral exercise early next year the next edition of exercise Milan is scheduled for February 2024 and is expected to see participation of 50 countries defense sources said while noting that this reflect the significant
Expansion of Navy’s engagement as well as capacity to assist countries on the Indian Ocean region so so this is the thing the presence and operation research by Indian Navy through Mission based deployments and other operational engagements has steadily enhanced there are 17 multilateral and 20 bilateral exercises that the Navy conducts
Annually which exemplifies India’s commitment to maintaining strong defense ties also these exercise are crucial for horning operational capabilities sharing best practices and gaining trust and diplomatic ties then not only demonstrate India’s nval progress but also contribute to the shared goals of ensuring a strong martime tie exercise Milan is a bional multilateral navel
Exercise began in 1995 has expanded its scope to become the largest exercise held by India uh last uh the mid planning Conference held in October the last edition of Milan which is held of vishakapatnam Saw participation from over 40 countries since uh July 2022 Indian Navy has joined the bahin based combined Maritime
Force a US laad multinational Nevel partnership that aims to promote security stability and prosperity in the I region Indian naval ships and aircrafts are being deployed for cmf Le operations on regular basis also the SE the Navy day is held at s synu dur fort on West Western seab board built in 1660
By chhatrapati shivaji Maharaj the operational demonstration will witness 20 warships with 40 aircraft such as Meek 29k and LCA Navi along with combat Beach will be uh have will have assault demo by Marine Commandos and this will be the first time Navy will be organizing a mega event which is not
Taking place at any major nville station so this is one of a kind for this time and navy days observed uh to commemorate the Navy’s during attack on K Karachi Harbor during 1971 Indo Pakistan War under operation Trident India has significantly expanded assistance in capacity building to countries in the
Region this includes platforms uh of training like mobile training teams for development mobile training teams uh from Naval Indian work team uh work teams uh up to undertake C checks and they have friendly neighbors like uh Sri Lanka and South Africa at trali and Cape Town respectively where they worked alongside
With ship scw to achieve very high standards of operational Readiness INX uh nrai uh sorry inss uh n n Shak conducted mixed gas diving training for Sri Lankan Navy Personnel in trali Sri Lanka to date Indian Navy has trained over 15,000 personel over 40 countries for
From the I okay so the please remember INX uh n Shock N shock okay next uh let’s see what uh we should read next the next is uh three anti uh submarine warfare ships for Indian Navy launched so what is it let’s see the first three of a series of eight
Anti submarine warfare shallow water crafts being supplied by coachin Shipyard limited for the Navy were launched on the ship premises the ships to be named as ins Mah ins malan and ins mongrol upon commissioning were launched in the presence of Vice chief of the naval staff the shipyard ined the
Contract uh with the defense Ministry to build eight vessels in 2019 so it is from coaching Shipyard these Mah class ships will replace the Navies in service abay class ASW cors and a designed for anti-submarine operations in the coastal Waters and low intensity Maritime uh mind laying and subsurface surveillance
Operations they are also capable of coordinated ASW operations with aircraft and search and rescue each vessel can carry 57 personels including seven officials okay so let’s see the next one Center agrees uh to examine demands of uh ladak staffs uh ladak safeguards so the Union Home Ministry has agreed to
Examine the demands of ladak uh to provide constitutional safeguards for Union territory Civil Society organization ation have been demanding lak’s inclusion in the sixth schedule of the Constitution and granting tribal status to the union territory the 22 panel member chaired by minister of State for home will have representatives
From both Carill and Le divisions the panel is expected to hold the meeting the terms of the reference of the committee are to discuss the measures that are required to check the language and the unique culture that ladak is having and to ensure protection of land and employment and inclusive development
And employment generation in the region also they will discuss uh related to the empowerment of ladak autonomous Hill district councils and Le and Caril to examine constitutional safeguards that could be provided to ensure measures and protection detailed above ladak has erupted in protests several times since
It has carved out of J Jammu and Kashmir in 2019 next Chinese military ties with Indian forces the officials uh value relations with the Indians and the 20 rounds of corpse Commander level talks had helped e tensions amid the Eastern ladak standoff Indian and Chinese troops have been locked in confrontation for
Over 3 years in certain friction points in eastern ladak even as the two sides have completed a disengagement from several areas the the current situation at India China border remains generally stable uh for China’s uh press meeting they have answered it the two sides have maintained communication very thoroughly
And military personnels have steadily progress to resolve the issues China values that China Indian military relation and we hope India works with us for building strategic Mutual Mutual trust and properly handle differences and safeguards also uh it held at the suul moldo border meeting point on the
Indian side of the line of control so the last round of talks happened there next 2.23 lakh Crow to buy 97 thees Jets 156 prand aircrafts so in a major move it has been discussed to buy these 97 Tes light compan combat aircrafts and 156 prant combat helicop helicopters the
Defense acquisition Council DAC has said uh that um Mr rajat has cleared the projects at a time India is locked in a military standof with China at a number of friction points in eastern ladak the defense Ministry said 98% of total procurement will be sourced from domestic Industries and that the move
Will give a substantial boost to the Indian defense industry in achieving goal of atbar bat the DSC also approved a proposal to upgrade the su3 fighter uh Fleet by state run Aerospace major Hindustan that is Hal it further accorded acceptance of necessity or initial approval for procurement of two types of anti-tank
Munitions namely area denial Munitions ADM type 2 and type 3 the top body on procurement of military hardware also cleared AC acquisition and integration of automatic Target tracker the mm is a lightweight surface to surface missile which will be a primary offensive weapon abroad various Indian naval ships the DC accorded AO for
Procurement of light combat helicopter for Indian Air Force and Indian army uh though it did not mention the specific numbers the official sources said that it will be 97 and being procured for I and 56 light combat helicopters are being procured for Army and the I so let’s see the next
One uh the next is H job uh that uh is making a talk in the town India should uh P heat to us prob on n’s uh death uh Canada PM have also so said the indictment of an Indian national in a foiled assassination attempt against a six separi in amer on
American soil what Canada has been alleging is hardip Singh n’s case and India must take it very seriously India has designated ner as a terrorist in 2020 New Delhi has rejected Mr Tru allegation as absur but now we can see what is happening next
Uh H job not our policy says mea so mea did not respond to a uh the words that has been said and also they are putting up an inquiry so that uh they can find any credible evidence according to us indictment Mr Gupta had initially tried
To engage the service of Hitman who was actually an undercover American agent to carry out the ner killing suggesting that there were three other Targets in Canada that the Indian government was seeking to eliminate apart from panun in us the mea spokesperson however said that India’s real concern with C Canada
Remained the presence of separatist in the country in so far as Canada is concerned they have consistently given space to anti-india extremist and violence that is at the heart of the issue for which these sort of activities are continuing next let’s read an article where it is said understanding simultaneous election
So what is it in September the union government notified the formation of a six member panel where they will examine simultaneous election in Lo saaba State assemblies and local bodies the panel also has to give its opinion on whether the proposed amendments shall require the asent of half of the state
Assemblies as stipulated in article 368 the panel had an interaction with law commission to discuss the road map to synchronize the elections by 2029 the first four general elections involved for loksabha it was possible then as Congress was in the power for both uh Nations and state level the bifurcation
Started when uh Congress uh was uh splitting in 1969 was looking to secure a majority of its own and the Apple was turned to miss uh Indira Gandhi as of now Loa elections coincides with assembly elections in four states namely Andra orisa or arunachal Pradesh and also Sikkim so the
Proposal to hold simultaneous election was pushed by BJP in uh 2014 and it was also in the speech of President Ramat cind the law commission also released a draft report on August 30 examining the possibilities so most recently The Proposal received support in support in the law commission report which is uh
Reportedly exploring the feasibility of the common election so what is the first thing the first is holding election will incur massive expenditure for the state and central government this would uh save public money and Human Resources second the defense uh the dense electoral cycle in involves prolonged deployment of security and police forces
On Election Duty uh which is of a great concern high ranking officers from other states are also reputed as observers in cold bound State there’s a climate of political uncertainty wherein officials remain perpetually in election mode and they cannot concentrate in their work third holding separate election comes in
The way of development as the enforcement of the code of conduct for a longer period leads to the stoppage of ongoing developmental works and during this time even ongoing projects suffer due to uh Power uh politics that is happening that this happens frequently and burdens the state ex cheer fourth is uh
Simultaneous elections would lessen the role of money in elections as a c campaign Finance of parties would come down fifth given the increasing role of divisive politics for electoral gains the one nation one election plan would help in reducing perous role of regionalism castism communalism in mobilizing electorates finally it is
Being argued that having too many elections creates a sense of fatigue among electorates voter turnouts uh at National level has also stagnated in the recent years against simultaneous elections so these are arguments against implementation first the center’s initiative is being viewed as being an anti- ethical to the federal Spirit uh
Second holding simultaneous elections would most likely push local and Regional issues to the periphery uh where favoring of political wide parties will be there and it will uh only serve interest of the few you and also it will narrow down the thoughts simultaneous election is in a federal poity would
Incentivize Regional discontent so this remains again a uh difficult issue third as far as cost saving is concerned holding simultaneous election would require large number of EVMS and also uh voting machines that is VV pad and also Bal elections to legislative Council rajas saaba and by elections would still be held fourth is
Frequent elections rather than sagging the enthusiasm of Voters keep them Enthusiast and evident in comparatively higher percentage of voting in States and local election and it also increases the accountability uh what is the legal and constitutional uh issues first at least five articles in the Constitution shall need Amendment these articles are
Article 83 part two 85 part two that relate respectively to the duration and resolution of loksabha the legislative agenda would be article 70 172 sub part 1 174 subpart two which provide for duration and dissolution of State assemblies article 85 subpart one and article 174 subpart 2 allows
President and Governor to dissolve Lo SAA and Vian SAA before the completion of their tenure of the 5ye article 83 subpart 2 allows the 10 year of Lo Saba to be extended for one year at the time of emergency being proclaimed under article 352 article 172 subpart 1 makes
A similar provision for State assemblies these Provisions need to be repealed uh because after the passage of anti-defection law enshrined in the 10th schedule 52nd Amendment Act of 1985 and later the supreme court judgment in Sr Bain case 1994 followed by high court judgment in rameshwar prad 2006 uh the
Decision to dissolve Vian SAA and impose president rule under article 356 is subjected to judicial review uh so if there are grounds to restore the government and uh if if grounds are not found then president’s rule to be constitutionally valid as has happened in nagaland utarak and arunachal Pradesh
So such amendments need not uh only have 2/3 majority support of both houses of Parliament but also there is a least half of State legislatures under article 368 currently no party has even simple majority in rajas SAA while states have different parties in power mainly of which uh they will not favor such
Decision it is difficult to link general elections with local body election this is because local body is a State subject in seven schedule list to and All State Legislature have passed separate pchat Raj acts and Municipal acts fixing the tenure of these bodies as per uh article
243 e and uh 243 U respectively since all 20 states have their own specific acts it will be uh requiring 56 sets of uh legal Provisions so the focus is now going to be how lo SAA and assembly elections can be held simultaneously since the proposal in involves Center
State relations judicial review of the Amendments shall have to be a major block so I hope you enjoyed this article now let’s uh move on to the next one is the emerging Global Order bipolar so this is a talk between Major General BK Sharma and swarang Singh so let’s see
China’s phenomenal rise we have seen has Unleashed a uh Terror on Washington and Russia is also challenging the post wart security architecture in Europe through military means in West Asia we are seeing the Israel and Hammer is through so the present World Order as one of the asymmetric bipolarity in which US Still
Remains a preeminent power but China is closing very fast there are other power centers emerging as they will also play a strong role China is uh controlled by one party virtually one man takes every decision for China in the 19th century countries that developed steam engine
And develop Nal fleets uh that is small European countries become great Powers so the control of of the great Powers could control multiple events around the world the 21st century is one of the people’s power the connectivity that the world sees today is unprecedented the result in interaction sometimes even
Interdependence to some extent Global integration and therefore there could be a bipolar impulse before 2014 the Russians were extremely circumspect about having closed TI with China China Chinese had sided with us also then the in of Ukraine to place the Russians are extremely conscious of the fact that
They cannot put all their eggs in the in one B basket the relationship looks cozy from outside but deep down there are misgivings on both sides there are enough signals from R Russia that in a pursuance of its policy or pivot to Asia it would uh likely to diversifi
Relationship with others that is uh East Asia and India there are two important corridors which will give some gravitas to the relationship one is the international north south transport trade Corridor and other is Chennai V Vlad VTO Maritime Corridor once we are able to see these corridors operational Russia’s dependence on China will
Probably reduce and this is the direction that uh should in which the things should work out so the two corridors are north south transport trade Corridor and the other is Chennai VTO Corridor okay okay there is a often a temptation to view India’s relationship with us and China in
Contrasting terms which makes it easier to highlight the differences India has uh supposed to get six nuclear power station uh Power reactors from us these have not come yet China’s uh China has a trade of $138 billion with India so it is not that in China’s case we only have
Difficulties so there is uh some contradictions first we have to acknowledge the fact that China is going to be a long-term competitor in Asia and the border is just one of the pressure points that China uses against India we also have to recognize that there is a huge power asymmetry between India and
China India is going to be the third largest economy perhaps in the decade or more with that economic Cloud India has to spend more on Military modernization with added focus on disruptive Technologies the second issue here remains is the internal internal balancing we have fault lines rather than mending those
Those fault lines get accentuated because of political calculations then we as a part of our external balancing we need to uh balance our relationship with us so that in some form we are able to perpetuate uh China uh and U there should be a China’s two front dilemma
The Western Pacific on one hand and the line of actual control on the other so these wars have become televised now and the world is more aware of what is happening some of that is happening in the case of Ukraine where Biden’s support to Israel is partly driven by
The fact that Republicans stand by Israel indiaan Industries are producing destructive weapons all time and they are uh spreading their instruments of dir death and destruction around the world so these should be addressed and violence is going to be widespread because there is huge military industrial complex behind it so this is
The thing now let’s move down broadcast regulation 3.0 commissions and omissions so what are these the Broadcasting Service Bill released in November by Mi is a part of an arc of Endeavors to regulate broadcasting in an integrated manner uh the 10 years before that when cable and satellite broadcasting was in its
Infancy the broadcasting bill of 1997 scripted the first effort to visualize an integrated regulatory framework for the sector the recent third uh Ren rendition of broadcasting Bill comes on the heels of pre consultation paper on National Broadcasting policy by Tri uh and it is a document of Ministry of
Information and broadcasting first uh it oblig obl oblig is broadcasting networks operators and broadcasters to maintain record of subscriber data and subject this to periodic external audit as is in the international Norm second the bill is to stipulate a methodology for audience measurement and sale of uh rating data the bill completely lacks
And any guardrails to Shield the privacy of subscribers thirdly The provision to permit private actors inter terrial broadcasting will encourage competitors uh competitions to the dur dasan the straight broadcast broadcaster as in many G20 countries triy had initiated consultations and also include um already available cable and satellite
Broadcasting uh and will move in the direction to diminish diversity of suppliers in the region so that anxiety can be bed down also a major concern in the bill including over the top that is OT content supplier as uh the ministry of electronics and information technology uh are licensing OT players
The Mi approach to poach on me’s jurisdiction a territorial uh slug Fest typical in countries with a fragmented regulatory architecture the bill expanded definition of broadcasting constricts the conditions in which journalists and news outlets that are not a part of large multi television network can continue their professional
Person with when it is fruitful for a news Outlet to have an oversight body warranting and content evaluation committee takes the bill in a questionable Direction mandating an intern internal body to self-certify the programs since the role of an internal oversight mechanism is to maintain
Accuracy uh it is uh its design is to best left to individual viewers they could decide whether to design uh along the lines of an umur person or uh readers editors two crucial silences in the bill are uh when the bill is uh Keen to stipulate a methodology for audience measurement
There is no desire for measure uh the extent of cross media and vertical operations and there is also diversity of suppliers the marketplace of news in fact last year Tri itself had drawn attention to extensive cross media ownership between newspapers and news broadcast through indirectly owned Affiliates one
Such news outlet with cross media interest have uh appr was apprehensive about telecom companies into broadcasting and uh adding Dimensions uh some cable and dth Distributors also own in a roundabout manner so the bill is equally silent on creating an independent broadcast regulator as hinted by Tri uh the bill plans a
Broadcast advisory Council to examine viewers Grievances and violations of the program code and advertisement code the first uh capacity of such a council is to track and address ganes and genuinely motivate the 800 million TV viewers and second the lack of autonomy accorded to this body since the bill empowers the
Central government to ultimately decide on the council’s uh advises so the leeway to the government is to the bill empowers the government to inspect broadcasters without intimating them in advance and to impound their equipment presum presumably including those issued to their employees violation of the program code and advertisement code attract
Deleting or modifying the content the bill grants tremendous leway to government to curtel broadcasting this should worry those who will deliberate over legislating the bill irrespective of which breaches they occupy in Parliament as the latest extension of the Arc of the Endeavors to devise the integrated regul framework of
Broadcasting this bill must not lose the opportunity to protect freedom of space and uh freedom of PR and diversity and also allow uh uh people to fine-tune their ideas and potentially help in positive Provisions so let’s uh move and see what else we have making this um
Israeli Palestinian War uh the last so the United Nations uh see is 1.3 million to 2.3 million residents of hammer control Gaza Strip has been displaced and almost half of all homes in Gaza has been damaged Israel will win in military terms but uh hamus is likely to win in
Terms of a greatly increased following among Arab population everyone including the occupied West Bank Palestinian Authority which was ruling for 30 years have become vastly unpopular and corrupt Palestine Authority president Mahmud Abbas the most moderate Palestinian leader uh Israel could have ever hoped for has failed singularly in making any
Progress towards objective of establishing a Palestinian state in the West Bank as United Nations Secretary General Antonio gurus has reminded the International Community Hammer attack of 7th October the article 51 of the charter of United Nations Israel has the inherent right of self-defense uh the state con concerned uh must report the
Action taken by it to un SEC uh Security Council this does not seem to have done any well for them the self-defense does not authorize the disproportionate or indiscriminate use of force against the civilians it has been reported that gaza’s rate of debt including um the Israel’s assault has increased and
Majority of them were women and children this goes beyond the prevailing customary law of defense the only problem is that Palestinians in the Gaza area do not want the Palestinian Authority led by Mr Abbas to rule anywhere let along the Gaza the suffocating blockade that is happening
In Gaza would be lifted and Israel does not like the UN and likes the un uh Secretary General even less it should be remembered that it was UN that gave birth and legitimacy to the incipient state of Israel meanwhile there are proposals for two State solution everyone seems to be repeating the two
State mant Mantra uh there is 1993 Oso Accord in vised Palestine to be based in the West Bank today West Bank is heavily populated by Israeli settlers no Israeli government will succeed in persuading the settlers to return force would be required the land is like swiss cheese having settlers roads and innumerable
Settlements with more planned the current Israeli Prime Minister benjam Benjamin Netanyahu will never agree to a Palestinian State however truncated the only option is uh for Israel to vet the occupation of the West Bank and let a viable Palestinian State emerged to ensure Israel’s legitimate concern for
Safety of the people the new state should be demilitarized other measures can be thought of to assure the Israelis of their safety Israel neighboring Arab states should all be engaged in this process the Abraham Accords provide uh Foundation if Israel has the vision of living in Harmony in the region with its
Arab neighbors this is the only way when this happens Iran will lose its Pro reason for anti-israel Tates that is Hezbollah will lose its important plank for threatening Israel Israeli Palestinian relations have been locked in a never ending cycle of death dest destruction and misery the war in Gaza
Is the latest iteration it should be the last and the Middle East could finally enjoy a peaceful and stable future so that they do not have to see such uh things in future now let’s move down a lot at stake so India’s reputation as a principled power is at stake after the
Indictment the impact of 15 page indictment filled by US Department is believed to be directed to the indan government for attempt of assassination of panon in the US soil nikil Gupta with a serving senior Indian government intelligence officer who is identified but unnamed as well as with two men in
Us who are allegedly engaged in killing panon uh there have been meetings between US president and Mr Modi and other senior officials tro has been less than honest about what it knows if the government had knowingly authorize the targeting of six separ separatist who are on India’s uapa Des Nation list then
That implies a traumatic change in India’s policy which it should be more upfront about also the US and Canada’s allegations are unfounded and Indian officials are not linked to the plots then the government needs to furnish evidence in any case the management of public messaging in the matter especially India’s reaction to Canada
Versus the us appears inconsistent to begin with India’s uh and Us’s ties could be impacted by the transpires as White House expects India’s full cooperation India too must ask the US which is rightly placing such emphasis on the plot second the US and Canadian allegation will directly impact the
India’s tie of five eyes intelligence partner countries which must not be overshadowed by this one case finally it is India’s reputation which will uh have issues in the future next uh changing tides the tatad has been stretched th in the Civil War in Myanmar there are hopes of
Rejuvenation uh for the return of democracy in Myanmar if recent events in Civil War are anything to go by the tatma that is that Juna has never had a bigger challenge until now since it’s February 2021 C that outset the national league for democracy late government uh
So there is a combined renewed attack by other inui Allied ethnic armed forces such as Chen State neighboring India has put the Junta in a bind most International actors has condemned the coupe but has stopped short of outrightly supporting the nug and except for European Parliament which has
Recognized it as a legitimate government for Myanmar these ties are getting bad as Juna Soldier freeing the violence in chin State into missam and facilitating their uh return through the mor border but with the Juna reverting to its tyrannical ways of bombing civilian targets uh is growing and also gaining
Um bad image for Myanmar so let’s see what is the present review of New Delhi and the size of Junta next the risk and desire that drive dating apps so let’s see how datting apps are affecting people so people uh have been parts of the dating apps and the survivors have
Said that they have lost money from App apart from deting apps there is empathy for them but when they say that they have lost money on someone with whom they were sexually and romantically involved there is a judgment and mock in the society this especially discourages
Me from sharing stories of deceit as it doesn’t match society’s idea of masculinity also dating apps have grown in popularity over the past decades over uh how people can find preferences including age and interest the apps algorithm throws up potential matches a quick swipe left indicates a a
Disinterest in a profile a right swipe in a is a Express of Interest the Matched couple can then chat on the app exchange for numbers meet in person or unmatch even one of them doesn’t want to continue so this is how the apps work adding to the list of vulnerabilities
Vulnerabilities of the people recently on dating are quer and married men uh being easier sextortion targets than singles the sites should put a great number uh of uh privacy and security security details so that people canot should not be at risk while many cisgendered people hide their identities
With fraud or false falsehood as motives quer people may change their their to protect themselves a bumble uh spokesperson have said that if a person unmatches an alleged perpetrator and reports it the conversation between the two are preserved if the victim chooses to file a police complain when the
Perpetrator has unmatched with the victim leaving no stress of the their presence in their life especially when phone numbers or social media handles have not been exchanged Delhi police cyber Wing says it IT issues a legal notice to the dating app to diver chat history if there is an unavailability of
Data we track CCTV footage and other physical Leeds to find about the perpetrator also uh Tinder spokesperson has said that um uh the company uh that owns a clutch of dating sites has created a portal to respond to request for information from law enforcement agencies these calculated email
Responses with no names or faces to take responsibility are eily similar to the boot uh boot in boot like inapp feedback when people report crime or deception on them so let’s see what else we have now next is for the first time Kerala to host U transplant games so receiving an organ
Is a gift of life one is thankful for this an organ transplant when done at appropriate time is not a mere extension of life it is a Curative and helps the recipient lead a normal life and uh they are protected uh by ending up being sedentary and not healthy at all uh when

Supervision the government decided to elevate the level of security by making an uh aminations life also live footage of uh polling boots during elections will be a procedure in the same way principls across orisa have been asked to ensure CCTV cameras are installed at uh various
Vantage points so that uh they can see what is happening next uh the due counil paves way for dual degree so they will allow one in full-time mode and other in open and distance learning 15 members of the council have signed a descent note saying that if will be difficult arguing
That odl with a full-time course is unsound the full-time nature of Academic Program allows uh students to have time for their education but this odal course will diver that attention of the student and it will also dilute the process so academic uh academic progress will be
Of list value so they need to like uh have one mode of Education only next air quality in Delhi Dives even as a Patty harvesting season comes to an end so the officials have seen that uh the pollution level has reached 13 times the prescribed remit by wh and uh the number
