As wet, the blockbuster film franchise comes to an end, audiences can still continue rooting for Despite a phobia of firearms, fear of heights, and disliking getting the characters from the world of ‘Baahubali’ via comics, animation series and novels Moore appeared the most — seven times — as James Bond

SPECIAL REPORT

VIKAS DUTTA, DELHI

ith his suave, debonair mien including the incredulous raised eyebrow, his refined accent and smooth voice, he was a natural choice to portray the world’s most famous British spy after the first actor gave up. Despite a phobia of firearms, fear of heights and disliking getting wet, Sir Roger Moore would go on to appear the most — seven times — as James Bond, which completely overshadowed the rest of his long acting career. In fact, it is hard to think of any cinematic portrayal of Moore outside a 007 film. Be it fleeing assassins in an autorickshaw amid tumult of an Indian street, skiing away from pursuers through an icy mountain, fighting off a gigantic, steeltoothed man in the Egyptian desert or outer space, telling the priest in a confessional “Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned” only for the disguised Q to retort: “That’s putting it mildly, 007”, or cuddling up a Russian spy under the eyes of two

sets of shocked high officials, everyone would have their favorite Moore as Bond moment. But Moore, who was both appreciated and attacked for his approach to the role, was not in much awe of it. “To me, the Bond situations are so ridiculous, so outrageous.

‘Hope ‘Baahubali 2’ crosses over Rs 20bn’

CHENNAI: Double Oscar-winning music composer A.R Rahman this week said he wishes S.S. Rajamouli’s magnum opus Baahubali 2: The AR Rahman Conclusion” mints over Rs 20 billion at the box-office. Having already earned over Rs 15 billion from its theatrical release so far, the film is continuing its golden run. “To Rajamouli, Keeravani and the whole team of Baahubali 2. Just finished watching it in Chennai. I hope it crosses Rs 20 billion and above at the box-office,” Rahman had written on his Facebook page. He went on to add: “You guys have opened the floodgates for south Indian cinema to the world and given it a new identity.”

Sivagami’s story has been turned into a three-part novel. The Rise of Sivagami by Anand Neelakantan is the first book in the trilogy. Talking about the Baahubali universe being expanded into an animation series titled Baahubali: The Lost Legends, Rajamouli said he’s a big fan of the medium. “I’m a huge fan of Disney’s films. Lately, I have been fascinated by 3D animation and I’m glad we could visualize Baahubali universe through this medium. Even though it doesn’t cater to a larger audience as cinema, it’s widely popular and fast catching up in India,” he said, taking pride in partnering with Graphic India and Amazon Prime Video for this initiative. Asked if he would like to direct an animation film outside the world of Baahubali, the director said: “As exciting as the idea sounds, it took us five years to take Baahubali to the audience. It’s going to be a very time-consuming process and I don’t think I can afford so much time on a project again.”

The increase in arrests of people without criminal convictions has generated outrage across the US from Trump opponents who believe otherwise law-abiding families are being rounded up.

$3.6 tn ‘unpleasant’ budget cut

Trump’s first budget includes draconian cuts of $3.6 trillion over 10 years in social assistance and medical coverage programs for lower-income citizens

‘23 million Americans to lose health insurance by 2026’

IANS, WASHINGTON

S President Donald Trump’s first budget includes draconian cuts of $3.6 trillion over 10 years in social assistance and medical coverage programs for lowerincome citizens, moves aimed at eliminating the deficit. The proposal’s main entitlement programs affected by Trump’s plan is Medicaid, which provides healthcare coverage to low-income citizens and which will see its funding reduced by $610 billion under the proposal, Efe news reported. The budget plan for Fiscal Year 2018, entitled “A New Foundation for American Greatness” and which promises to eliminate the budget deficit — predicted to be 3.1 per cent of GDP at year-end — over a decade, nevertheless provides for increases in defense and border security spending. Director of the Office of Management and Budget Mick Mulvaney said at the budget presentation that compassion can no longer be measured by the number of social programs and the money spent on such programs.

Main entitlement programs affected by Trump’s plan is Medicaid.

Mulvaney insisted that, with an agenda including cutting taxes deregulation and reduction of the size of the federal government, the administration will be able to achieve sustainable growth of 3 per cent annually over the coming decade. “Everything is key to getting us back to 3 per cent (growth),” Mulvaney said.

The budget will reduce the SNAP food subsidy program for low-income families — a total of 44 million people in 2016 — by almost $200 billion and it authorizes more responsibility for the states in defining requirements for the program’s beneficiaries in terms of minimum hours worked and actively conducting job searches. Trump has criticized the ongo-

WASHINGTON: The healthcare reform proposed by US President Donald Trump to “repeal and replace” ObamaCare, will leave 23 million US citizens without health insurance over the next decade, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has said. The American Health Care Act (AHCA) was narrowly approved earlier this month by the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, the first major political accomplishment for Trump. Although Trump managed the House approval eliminating former President Barack Obama’s signature Affordable Care Act, it now appears that AHCA would have difficulty making headway in the Senate. In that vote, the new bill passed only narrowly in a 217-213 vote after Republicans were twice unable in March to

ing increase in entitlements pushed by his predecessor Barack Obama during and after the 2008-2009 financial crisis, since this does not

collect enough votes to pass it. The CBO said the AHCA proposal would reduce the US budget deficit by $119 billion, significantly less than the $150 billion reduction calculated earlier, Efe news reported. House Speaker Paul Ryan said that the figures confirm that the aim of the proposal is to reduce the deficit and the premiums that patients must pay. The new analysis by the CBO, a non-partisan entity that reports to Congress, makes it even more difficult for Republicans in the Senate, where they hold a slim majority, to approve the measure that was passed in the House, with its much more conservative stamp, on May 4. The White House, for its part, rejected the CBO estimates as untrustworthy.

US panel to subpoena ‘US AG omits Russian details’ Flynn in Russia probe IANS, WASHINGTON

IANS, WASHINGTON

he House Intelligence Committee will subpoena former national security adviser to US President Donald Trump Michael Flynn, in its investigation into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 elections. Congressman Adam Schiff, the top-ranking Democrat on the committee, confirmed that the subpoena is being prepared and could be issued this week despite the retired general’s refusal to turn over documents lawmakers have requested in the probe, Efe news reported. At first, the committee will ask for Flynn’s voluntary participation and, if he refuses to agree, they will issue him with a subpoena, said Schiff. “I think we need to use whatever compulsory mechanism (is) necessary to get the information that he possesses,” the lawmaker said. Schiff made the committee’s subpoena plans known after the Senate Intelligence Committee on

Michael Flynn, former national security adviser to the US President.

Tuesday ordered Flynn to hand over documents from two of his businesses due to their possible links with Russia. The attorneys said that Flynn had decided to avail himself of Fifth Amendment protection and refuse to provide documents requested by the Senate and considered to be relevant to its own investigation into the Russian matter. Flynn was forced to resign after it became public knowledge that he had lied to Vice President Mike Pence about his contacts with Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak during the transition period.

S Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who lied during his confirmation about his alleged Russian ties, also omitted the meetings with Ambassador Sergei Kislyak from the Justice Department documents upon taking office, media reports said. Both CNN and ABC disclosed that Sessions did not mention his meetings with Kislyak in the security clearance form that he had to fill out upon taking office in the Justice Department. The official document required him to list “any contact” he or his family had with foreign governments or their representatives in the past seven years, Efe news reported. Sessions had met Kislyak in July and September 2016, only a few months before the White House elections on November 8, when he was a senator and advisor to Republican candidate Donald Trump and his campaign. The meetings were later revealed by The Washington Post in March. Democrat senators then raised questions about his communications with the Kremlin, during the

investigation into the Trump campaign’s alleged ties to Russia. “If there is any evidence that anyone affiliated with the Trump campaign communicated with the Russian government in the course of this campaign, what will you do?” asked Senator Al Franken. To which, Sessions had replied: “I am not aware of any of those activities”. He also said that he did not have “communications with the Russians”. After the meetings were revealed by The Washington Post, Sessions was forced to refrain from engag-

ing “in any existing or future investigation” of the Justice Department over possible Russian interference in the 2016 presidential polls. At the time, it was still unknown that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was investigating the alleged Russian interference, including possible links between Russian officials and the Trump campaign. The Justice Department responded to the CNN reporting that Sessions did not require to list “every” meeting he held as a senator.

trump special special report x

Iran must never have n-weapons Trump labeled the n-agreement reached between Iran and the Group 5 + 1 (the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany) as a mistake Iran: US-Saudi deal to jeopardize regional security

Trump strikes arms deal with Saudis worth $350bn

TEHRAN: A senior Iranian military official said that the recent USSaudi Arabia arms deal will jeopardize regional security, media reports said. “The arms deal between the United States and Saudi Arabia not only would not contribute to security in the Middle East, but would lead to insecurity and tensions in the region,” Tasnim news agency quoted the military aide to Iran’s Supreme Leader Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi as saying. Washington earns huge profit from fomenting regional insecurity and creates tensions among Muslim countries, Rahim Safavi said. He noted that Iran’s principal policy is respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of other states, stressing that regional security would materialize only through concerted efforts and direct dialogue to achieve a common understanding, Xinhua news reported. On Saturday, the US President Donald Trump sealed a $110-billion arms deal with Saudi Arabia in Riyadh. During his visit to Saudi Arabia on Sunday, Trump called on the regional countries to isolate Iran which he said, had “fuelled the fires of sectarian conflict and terror”. This week, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said that Trump’s recent anti-Iran remarks and rising Iranophebia are aimed at “milking” Saudi Arabia.

RIYADH: In his first overseas trip as President, Donald Trump sealed an arms deal with Saudi Arabia worth $350 billion over 10 years, with nearly $110 billion to take effect immediately. The agreement is said to bolster security “in the face of Iranian threats”. “This package of defense equipment and services support the long-term security of Saudi Arabia and the Gulf region in the face of Iranian threats, while also bolstering the Kingdom’s ability to contribute to counter terrorism operations across the region,” the White House said in a statement on Saturday, as quoted by CNBC News. US President Donald Trump, along with US Secretary of State

S President Donald Trump began his visit to Israel by warning of the threat that Iran could pose if it were to develop nuclear weapons. “Iran must never be allowed to possess a nuclear weapon,” Trump said, standing beside Israeli President Reuven Rivlin. Donald Trump this week was on the second stop of his first international tour, having arrived

from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, aboard Air Force One, Efe news reported. The President reinforced the message when he went on to have a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump also labeled the nuclear agreement reached between Iran and the Group 5 + 1 (the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany) as a mistake. “It was a terrible, terrible thing for the United States to enter that

deal and, believe me, Iran will never have a nuclear weapon, that I can tell you,” Trump said. Trump warned of Iran’s escalating presence in the region.

ope Francis held a private meeting with US President Donald Trump at the Vatican this week , which covered international affairs, interfaith dialogue, healthcare and assistance to immigrants, the Vatican said. The two leaders had an “exchange of views” on several unspecified international issues, and spoke of the need to continue good bilateral relations, a statement issued by the Vatican said. They shared a commitment to

“No matter where we go we see the signs of Iran in the Middle East,” Trump said. He visited Israel before returning to the US.

Iran denounces US President’s remarks in Riyadh TEHRAN: US President Donald Trump’s recent anti-Iran remarks were aimed at “milking” Saudi Arabia, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said this week. “Iran, fresh from real elections, attacked by @POTUS in that bastion of democracy and moderation. Foreign Policy or simply milking KSA (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) of $480 billion?” Zarif tweeted.

The remarks by Zarif came in response to Trump’s anti-Tehran comments in Riyadh on Sunday and his arms sale deal with Saudi Arabia. During his visit to Saudi Arabia, Trump called on the regional countries to isolate Iran, which had “fuelled the fires of sectarian conflict and terror”. Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Brigadier General Massoud Jazayeri refuted

the comments by US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson for urging a policy shift in Tehran’s conduct during President Hassan Rouhani’s second term. The only way to peace in the Middle East is a pull-out of the US forces from the region, Xinhua news agency quoted Jazayeri as saying. During his Saudi Arabia visit, Tillerson said he hoped the re-election of Rouhani would prompt changes to

Tehran’s approach to “terrorism and human rights”. Tillerson urged Iran’s re-elected President to dismantle the alleged “network of terrorism” and to end ballistic missile tests. In the reaction, Jazayeri urged the US to end the “aggressive and terrorist operations against independent states” by the assistance of “reactionary regimes” in the region. —IANS

exchanged gifts. Trump gave the Pope a boxed set of writings by civil rights leader Martin Luther King, while Francis gifted Trump a signed copy of a message he delivered for World Peace Day, along with some of his writings about the need to protect the environment. “Well, I’ll be reading them,” Trump told him. Following their private meeting, Trump expressed gratitude. “Thank you,” he said, shaking hands with the pontiff. “Thank you. I won’t forget what you said.” Trump later called the meeting “great” and “fantastic”. Later, moments before taking off for Brussels for NATO Summit, Trump tweeted: “Honor of a lifetime to meet His Holiness Pope Francis. I leave the Vatican more determined than ever to pursue PEACE in our world.”

Pope, Trump hold ‘cordial’ talks, exchange gifts IANS, VATICAN CITY

Rex Tillerson, who is accompanying him on the trip, attended a signing ceremony for almost $110 billion worth of defense capabilities to be conveyed to Saudi Arabia, the US Department of State said in a statement on Saturday. “This package demonstrates the United States’ commitment to our partnership with Saudi Arabia, while also expanding opportunities for American companies in the region,” the statement read. The deal also “potentially supports tens of thousands of new jobs in the US,” it added. Reports of Washington and Riyadh engaging in talks over multibillion arms deals emerged earlier in May.

“life, and freedom of worship and conscience” and expressed hope that they can collaborate “in service to the people in the fields of healthcare, education and assistance to migrants”. The “cordial discussions” included the need for political negotiation to resolve conflicts and build peace in the world, interreligious dialogue, especially in the Middle East, and the protection of Christian communities, the Vatican stated. Pope Francis, one of Trump’s most high-profile critics, did not smile as he greeted a beaming

Pakistan tries to provoke India Fresh Pakistani provocation came a day after the Indian Army said it had ‘proactively’ dominated the Line of Control with ‘punitive fire assaults’ IANS, NEW DELHI/ISLAMABAD

ensions escalated on Wednesday with Pakistan Air Force Chief Suhail Aman activating all forward bases in response to purported India “threats” and fighter jets flying over the Siachen glacier violating the Indian air space, a claim New Delhi has dismissed. The fresh Pakistani provocation came a day after the Indian Army said it had “proactively” dominated the Line of Control (LoC) with “punitive fire assaults” against military posts and terror launch pads. According to media reports in Islamabad, Air Chief Marshal Sohail Aman along with senior PAF officers visited the Qadri Airbase in Skardu — part of Pakistanadministered Kashmir — where

war exercises by fighter jet squadrons are being held at present. The air chief also took part in the

exercises, flying a Pakistan Air Force Mirage fighter jet and reviewed the exercises and operational preparedness of the PAF.

“Our response to any aggression by the enemy will be such that their future generations will also remember it,” he said according to a Radio Pakistan report. Samaa TV citing unnamed sources said Pakistani fighter jets “made flights near Siachen Glacier on Wednesday morning”. But the Indian Air Force denied any violation of India’s airspace. “There is no reported airspace violation,” said an Indian Air Force official, who did not want to be identified. The strategically important Siachen Glacier and all its major passes are under Indian military control since 1984 when the two armies fought a bitter military conflict in the mountains above the unpopulated territory in the Karakoram range.

Major in ‘human shield’ incident honored IANS, NEW DELHI

n Indian Army Major involved in tying up a Kashmiri man to a jeep bonnet to ward off stone-pelters in Kashmir has been awarded the Army chief’s Commendation Card, Army sources said on Monday. The Commendation Card for Major Leetul Gogoi of 53 Rashtriya Rifles was given for “sustained efforts” in counter-insurgency operations, Army officials said. “Major Leetul Gogoi has been recently awarded the Army chief’s Commendation Card for his sustained distinguished service till now in counter-insurgency opera-

Pakistan condemns commendation ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Thursday condemned the Indian Army chief’s Commendation Card to an officer involved in tying up a Kashmiri man to a jeep as human shield. “Awarding Major Leetul Gogoi, who brazenly used a Kashmiri youth as a human shield, is condemnable. It is a crime and an insult to humanity,” Foreign Office spokesperson Nafees Zakaria told media during the weekly briefing. Zakaria said that it was not the first time that the Indian forces have displayed such “cowardice”.

tions in Jammu and Kashmir,” an official source said. The sources said all factors, including notable performance of the officer and overall emerging indicators of Court of Inquiry pending in the trying incident, have been “well-considered” while awarding the officer. A video, shot on April 9 during the Srinagar by-poll held amid vio-

lence, showed a man, later identified as Farooq Ahmad Dar, tied to an Army jeep’s bonnet with a placard in Budgam of Jammu and Kashmir. The video went viral on social media and created an uproar. An FIR was registered by the Jammu and Kashmir Police against the security forces. Major Gogoi on Tuesday said he did that to “save more lives”.

BRIEFS Coal ex-Secretary gets two-year jail; gets bail NEW DELHI: A Special CBI Court here on Monday sentenced former Coal Secretary H.C. Gupta, convicted along with others in a Madhya Pradesh coal block allocation case, to two-year imprisonment. Two former Coal Ministry officials — K.S. Kropha and K.C. Samria — were also handed twoyear jail terms in the case of allocation of Thesgora B/Rudrapuri coal block to Kamal Sponge Steel and Power Ltd (KSSPL). The court also imposed a fine of Rs 100,000 each on the former officials. KSSPL Managing Director Pawan Kumar Ahluwalia was slapped with three years in jail and a fine of Rs 3 million, and the company was directed to pay a fine of Rs 10 million. Later, all convicts were granted bail to appeal to the High Court against their conviction.

Curtains for Hotel Janpath in New Delhi NEW DELHI: The Union Cabinet on Wednesday gave its approval to transfer the property of Hotel Janpath in the national capital to the Ministry of Urban Development, an official said. “The Committee on Economic Affairs, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has given its ‘in principle’ approval to transfer the property of Hotel Janpath, New Delhi, to the Ministry of Urban Development,” said a statement. “The property can be considered for construction of government offices and similar purposes which would save government funds spent in hiring of government offices,” it added. The statement mentioned the details of implementation of the project and land usages would be taken subsequently by a Committee of Secretaries to be constituted under the chairmanship of cabinet secretary. —IANS

Indian woman ‘forced’ to marry Pakistani returns home IANS, AMRITSAR/LAHORE

n Indian woman who alleged she was forced and duped into marrying a Pakistani man was repatriated to her country through the Wagah border on Thursday, a day after the Islamabad High Court permitted her to travel home. Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj welcomed Uzma Ahmed to India, minutes after she crossed into India from the Wagah border in Amritsar. “Uzma - Welcome home India’s daughter. I am sorry for all that you

have gone through,” Sushma Swaraj tweeted. Uzma travelled to Lahore from Islamabad and was accompanied by Indian Deputy High Commissioner J.P. Singh, who bid her farewell at the border. She had stayed in Pakistan for 25 days. Uzma, who was escorted by Pakistani security personnel till the Wagah border crossing, was debriefed by Indian officials for a while. The woman claimed she was forced to marry Buner resident Tahir Ali at gunpoint. During the court hearing, Pakistani judge Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani asked

Uzma if she wanted to meet her husband in the chamber but she refused the offer, saying she did not want to talk to him. The High Court ordered that Uzma can go back to her country and the case will be processed in her absence. Uzma had taken refuge at the Indian High Commission in Islamabad because she felt threatened, and wanted to return to her country of birth. Ali had filed a petition claiming that she was being forcibly kept at the Indian High Commission and that the marriage was not under coercion.

Indian cabbie ‘racially abused’ in Australia Pardeep Singh, 25, was assaulted by two passengers, including a woman, who yelled racial slurs at him at the Sandy Bay McDonald’s drive-through IANS, CANBERRA

n Indian cab driver was assaulted and beaten unconscious in the Australian state of Tasmania by two passengers who yelled racial slurs at him. Pardeep Singh, 25, was beaten by two passengers at the Sandy Bay McDonald’s drive-through. Singh said he was attacked when he asked the woman passenger to step outside the cab as she was going to throw up, Mercury newspaper reported. “Please get out of the car... If you mess up the car you have to pay a cleaning fee,” Singh told the woman. Singh said the passengers started abusing him and the woman told him in an expletivefilled rant that she wouldn’t pay the fare or cleaning fee. “They punched me too many times and kicked me,” Singh said. “(They said) ‘You f.....g Indians deserve this’.” Singh was admitted overnight to the Royal Hobart Hospital. Police official Ian Whish-Wilson said the two passengers were charged in relation to the assault on Singh. “There was a dispute over payment and it is alleged the passengers assaulted the driver and damaged

Magistrates Court on June 26. In March, Indian cab driver Li Max Joy was assaulted by four teenagers in Tasmania and a third

driver of the community was assaulted by four men in June last year. The police official said the charges in this case were laid in relation to the March assault on Joy but no “special investigative unit” was established. Singh, who is studying hospitality, said he will not drive taxis again “because it’s so dangerous”. The bashing is the third attack on Indian taxi drivers in less than a year.

Indian detained at US airport dies NEW YORK: An Indian man who came to the US from Latin America without proper documents has died while in federal custody in Atlanta, in Georgia state, according to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. Atulkumar Babubhai Patel, 58, died at an Atlanta hospital, the ICE said in a statement. “The preliminary cause of death has been ruled to be complications from congestive heart failure,” it added. The Indian citizen arrived in Atlanta on May 10 from Quito, Ecuador, without the necessary immigration documents and on May 11 US Customs and Border Protection officials transferred him to ICE custody, the agency said. When Patel was admitted to the Atlanta Detention Center, an initial medical screening showed he had high blood pressure and diabetes, the ICE said. On May 13, a nurse checking his blood sugar noticed he “had shortness of breath and he was promptly transported to Grady Memorial Hospital for additional evaluation and treatment where he later died”, it added. The Indian Consulate General in Atlanta was informed about Patel’s death and they have informed his family, the ICE said. The Atlanta Journal Constitution newspaper reported that Patel was the second person to die in ICE custody in Georgia within two days. A Panamanian citizen was found dead at another ICE centre with a sheet around his neck, the newspaper said. —IANS

Missing Indian-origin Two jailed for hate crime in US student found dead IANS, WASHINGTON

IANS, NEW YORK

n Indian-origin student was found dead here after he went missing earlier this week, police said. Aalaap Narasipura, 20, was an electrical engineering student at Cornell University and was missing, ABC News reported. Cornell University Police said Narasipura’s body was recovered from Fall Creek, a gorge located near Ithaca Falls. The circumstances of Narasipura’s death remain under investigation, but police said they don’t suspect any foul play. State and local authorities from multiple agencies searched Narasipura’s residence, academic spaces and regular routes of travel as well as

adjacent natural areas and gorges around the Ivy League university. They did not find any evidence of his whereabouts until coming across his body in Fall Creek, police said. Earlier in the week, police had released a photo and description of Narasipura seeking more information in the case. Narasipura was set to graduate this December, according to the report.

US court sentenced two men to three years in prison for severely beating a Sikh man in California and cutting off his hair. Chase B. Little and Colton T. Leblanc, both of Texas, pleaded no contest to felony assault and committing a hate crime against Maan Singh Khalsa during last year’s September 25 attack, the New York Times reported. “Both men went out of their way to cut Khalsa’s hair, which he maintained unshorn as part of his Sikh faith, ‘making this so clearly a hate crime’,” said Prosecutor Simon O’Connell of the Contra Costa County District Attorney’s office. Khalsa, 42, appeared before Judge Patricia Scanlon during the hearing in Martinez, California, on Thursday and recalled details of

the frightening attack. “Cutting a Sikh’s hair is one of the most humiliating things anyone can do to a Sikh. The attackers did not just attack my body, they attacked my dignity, my spirit, my faith, my religion and my entire community,” Khalsa said. Authorities said Khalsa was driving home on the night of the attack and stopped at a red light in

Richmond, near Berkeley, when a car, occupied by five people, pulled up next to him. As beer cans were thrown at Khalsa, a motorist nearby called 911. When the light turned green, Khalsa drove off and called 911 as the truck followed him. While he stopped at another red light, two men got out of the truck, ran up to Khalsa’s car and repeatedly punched his face and yelled profanities. “My attackers hit me with their fists, knocked off my turban, and yelled, ‘Cut his...hair’,” Khalsa said in a statement. “They yanked my hair through the window and used a knife to saw parts of it.” He also sustained a black eye, tooth damage and knife wounds. Part of his little finger was later amputated because of an infection from one of the wounds, the daily reported.

MANCHESTER MAYHEM

Britain raises terror threat level to ‘critical’ On Monday night, at least 22 people were killed when an attacker detonated a homemade bomb inside the foyer at the Manchester Arena after a concert by US singer Ariana Grande had ended IANS, LONDON

More people arrested in Manchester attack

ritish Prime Minister Theresa May announced that the country’s terror threat level has been raised from “severe” to its highest level of “critical”, meaning further attacks may be imminent. The move on Tuesday night, came after investigators were unable to rule out whether Manchester bombing suspect Salman Abedi acted alone, BBC quoted May as saying. Speaking after chairing the second meeting of the day of Britain’s toplevel security committee known as Cobra, May also confirmed the government had triggered “Operation Temperer”, a long-standing emergency plan to put soldiers into key public locations to support armed police in protecting the public. Members of the armed forces will thus be deployed across Britain

SHORT TAKES Taiwan’s top court in favor of gay marriage TAIPEI: Taiwan’s top judges on Wednesday ruled in favor of gay marriage, paving the way for it to become the first country in Asia to legalize same-sex unions. The highest court ruled that current laws preventing members of the same sex from marrying violated their right to equality and were unconstitutional, BBC reported. It gave Parliament two years to amend existing laws or pass new ones. The landmark decision came as the LGBT community faces increasing persecution in the region.

Jakarta bombings linked to IS: Police JAKARTA: Indonesian police on Thursday said the Islamic State militant group is linked to the suicide bombings near a bus stop in Jakarta that killed two bombers and three policemen. The pressure cooker explosions on Wednesday also injured 10 others, including civilians and five policemen, Xinhua news agency quoted police spokesman Awi Setiyono as saying. The bombings were parts of a global terrorist movement linked with the IS, the spokesman said. — IANS

under police command, and they would be seen at “big events” such as football matches and concerts. “The spirit of Manchester and the spirit of Britain is far mightier than the sick plots of depraved terrorists. That is why the terrorists will never win and we will prevail,” she said. On Monday night, at least 22 people were killed when a lone

attacker detonated a homemade bomb inside the foyer at the Manchester Arena after a concert by US singer Ariana Grande had ended. “An attack that targeted some of the youngest people in our society with cold calculation. This was among the worst terrorist incidents we have ever experienced in the United Kingdom,” May said.

LONDON: Two more persons, a man and a woman, have been arrested in connection with the Manchester bombing attack in Britain, media reports said. The woman was arrested after armed police raided a block of flats in the north of Manchester, Sky News reported on Wednesday. The male suspect was arrested at an address in Nuneaton, Warwickshire, following searches connected to the attack, police said. This has made the total number of suspects linked to the attack rise to seven so far, Xinhua news agency reported. Meanwhile, senior police chiefs in Britain reacted with anger Wednesday

night after sensitive details of the Manchester Arena suicide bombing were leaked to media in the US. The National Police Chiefs’ Council said the leaks undermines the investigation into the terror attack. According to the Guardian, Prime Minister Theresa May will confront US President Donald Trump over the stream of leaks of crucial intelligence when the pair meet Thursday at the NATO summit meeting in Brussels. The suicide bomber’s identity has been revealed by the police as Salman Abedi, 22, a son of Libyan parents who fled their native country and sought refuge in Britain. Abedi’s father and younger brother have also been arrested in Libya.

Nepal PM Prachanda decides to step down ANIL GIRI, KATHMANDU

epal Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ on Wednesday announced his resignation, in keeping with his agreement with the Nepali Congress, which had propped up his coalition government since last August. Nepali Congress leader Sher Bahadur Deuba, who has also been

the Prime Minister earlier, is likely to succeed him. Prachanda, who made the announcement of his resignation in a televised address to the nation from his office, said it would end “a long drought of trust in Nepali politics”. There were several examples in Nepal’s politics that leaders made commitments but never honored them, he said.

“But today I am going to set an example and as per the accord reached with Nepali Congress, I am going to announce my resignation,” he said.

Iranians retain Rouhani as President IANS, TEHRAN

ranian President Hassan Rouhani won a resounding victory in the 12th Presidential polls on Saturday as voters yearning for more freedom at home and less isolation abroad have emphatically backed the moderate cleric. With a huge turnout, polling stations stayed open until midnight in parts of the country, defying concerns that moderates disillusioned by the weak economy or slow pace of change would not vote. Iran’s interior minister, Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli, announced live on state television that Rouhani

Hassan Rouhani

received 23,549,616 votes (57 per cent), compared with his conservative rival Ebrahim Raisi, who won 15,786,449 votes (38.5 per cent).

More than 41.2 million people voted out of 56 million who were eligible to do so. The two other lesser known candidates, Mostafa AqaMirsalim and Mostafa HashemiTaba, got 478,215 and 215,450 votes respectively. No sitting president in Iran has failed to win a second term since 1981. Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the top leader of the country, commended the Iranian people for their “massive and epic” turnout in the country’s twin elections. “The winner of yesterday’s elections, is you (the Iranian people), and the Islamic establishment,” Khamenei said.

It is likely that Deuba will contest for the Prime Minister’s post on the basis of majority votes on the support of Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist Center.

Protest against Brazilian President BRASILIA: Brazilian President Michel Temer has ordered the armed forces to patrol Brasilia for a week, following protests that called for the end of his government and immediate elections for a new President. A series of clashes took place between tens of thousands of protestors and the policemen. Protestors set on fire a ministry building and the police used tear gas and pepper spray against the crowd, Xinhua news agency reported.

Very much a Tamilian: Rajinikanth

Security personnel was deployed near the actors residence after a protest was announced by a Tamilian Group after he hinted about his political aspirations

Rajinikanth can meet PM if he wants: Naidu

IANS, CHENNAI

ctivists of a Tamil fringe group staged protests near actor Rajinikanth’s residence at Poes Garden here over indications the veteran actor could make his political debut. The protestors criticized him of not being a Tamilian, however, the actor has insisted that he was very much a Tamilian. Police deployed a large number of security personnel near his residence after the protest announcement by the Tamizhar Munnetra Padai group. The police have set up barricades on the roads leading to his residence. Vehicles were allowed only after proper checking. Police stopped the activists from trying to march to the actor’s residence. “Following reports that members of a fringe group were planning to protest in front of Rajinikanth’s house, we requested for police protection. Everything is under control as of now,” a source

BRIEFS Kudankulam plant II restarts generation CHENNAI: The second unit of the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project (KNPP) was reconnected to the southern power grid this week, said officials. The unit was shut down early this month due to water and steam leakage. An official at KNPP told IANS that the second unit was reconnected to the grid on Saturday morning at 7.57 a.m. and touched a level of 500 MW during the course of the day, the official said.

ED arrests Chennai businessman

NEW DELHI: The Enforcement Directorate said it has attached property worth Rs 1.75 crore of a Chennai-based firm and arrested its director who is accused of cheating the state-run Indian Bank and laundering money. The agency’s move comes following an FIR by Chennai police against K. Liakath Ali, the owner of Galaxy Impex, on a complaint of the Indian Bank about cheating and use of forged documents by certain importers. Ali has been remanded in judicial custody, an ED official said. The ED took up investigations under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act and identified Ali as the mastermind. —IANS

over his not being a Tamilian. The 67-year-old has expressed disappointment over some Tamilians spreading hatred on social media. “I feel sorry for some Tamil people spreading hatred on social media. Never thought they will stoop so low,” Rajinikanth had said last week during an interaction

BENGALURU: There is no problem if Tamil superstar Rajinikanth wants to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Minister M Venkaiah Naidu said this week. “Rajnikanth is a great actor. Modi is a great leader. There is no problem if he (Rajnikanth) wants to meet the Prime Minister,” Naidu told reporters at a campus event here. Naidu’s observation came in light of the 67-year-old megastar’s hints of entering politics soon at a meeting with his ardent fans in Chennai last week.

54-year-old godman who was bobbitised by a young woman here remained in hospital this week even as police registered a case against him. A police officer said they were yet to decide what course of action needed to be taken vis-a-vis the 23year-old woman, who cut off the man’s genitals a day earlier after accusing him of sexual harassment.

“Due process of law will be followed after taking the statement of the accused,” a police officer who did not want to be named told IANS.

Asked if “strong action” would be taken against the accused, he shot back: “Strong action has already taken place. All we need is to extend our support to her.” The hospital said a team of medical professional conducted plastic surgery on Hari Swami, who is from a Hindu ashram near Kollam, and he was now out of danger. According to the woman, the Swami was a frequent visitor to their home here and used to conduct rituals right from the time when she was a Class 12 student. Her father was apparently keeping unwell for a long time. Last week, the woman grabbed a knife and attacked the Swami.

3 years of BJP government, unemployment rate slightly up The unemployment rate in 2015-16 was five percent of the labour force, up from 4.9 percent in 2013-14, the year before the Bhartiya Janta Party assumed power SHREYA SHAH, NEW DELHI

ndia’s unemployment rate has registered a slight increase since the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government began its term in May 2014, despite the government’s professed emphasis on job-creation, according to an analysis of government data. The unemployment rate in 2015-16 was five percent of the labour force, up from 4.9 percent in 2013-14, the year before the BJP assumed power. “The country has been dragged through 10 years of jobless growth by the Congress-led UPA (United Progressive Alliance) government,” the BJP had said in its manifesto for the 2014 general election. “Under the broader economic revival, BJP will accord high priority to job-creation and opportunities for entrepreneurship.” At a rally in Agra in 2013, Narendra Modi, then campaigning for the position of Prime Minister, had said the BJP would create 10 million jobs: “If BJP comes to power, it will provide one crore jobs which the UPA government could not do despite announcing it before the last Lok Sabha polls,” Modi was quoted

Satyarthi said the number of child workers in India had fallen from 12.5 million in 2001 to 10 million in 2011 and further to 4.2 million now. (Photo: IANS)

as saying in news reports. Yet, the 2016-17 Economic Survey, based on data from the Labour Ministry, stated: “Employment growth has been sluggish.” Based on the “Usual Principal Status” — according to which those who have spent a major part (183 days or more) of the preceding 365 days before a survey on economic

activity are counted as having been part of the labour force — the Labour Ministry’s report on the Fifth Annual Employment-Unemployment Survey (2015-16) said unemployment was five percent. The survey includes workers in both the formal and informal parts of the economy, as well as those working as casual workers in public

works programmes. Between July 2014 and December 2016, the eight major sectors of manufacturing, trade, construction, education, health, information technology, transport, and accommodation and restaurants, created 641,000 jobs, data show, not including jobs created between January 2016 and March 2016, for

which data are unavailable. In comparison, these sectors had added 1.28 million jobs between July 2011 and December 2013, according to Labour Ministry data. This is based on data collected by the government from non-farm industrial units that have 10 or more workers in these eight sectors. “These surveys are being conducted in selected sectors of the economy which are sensitive to the global factors and employment intensive,” a 2016 Labour Ministry report said. Further, the Economic Survey pointed to a shift in the pattern of employment from permanent jobs to casual and contract employment. The increasingly “temporary” nature of work, it said, has an “adverse effect” on the level of wages, stability of employment, and employees’ social security. “It also indicates preference by employers away from regular/formal employment to circumvent labour laws,” it stated. These employment surveys, conducted both before and after the BJP government began its term in 2014, do not account for a considerable portion of India’s workforce — those working in units employing less than 10 people, and those employed in the informal sector.

Child slavery down in India but child abuse up: Kailash Satyarthi The 63-year-old said problems cannot be just left to the government, the young will have to spread awareness about children’s suffering AMIYA KUMAR KUSHWAHA NEW DELHI

he number of child workers in India has fallen considerably but incidents of sexual violence against children has gone up, Nobel Laureate Kailash Satyarthi has said. Satyarthi also being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014 had greatly helped him in his long-running campaign against child labor and child abuse not just in India but across the world. Speaking to IANS journalists, the 63-year-old said that problems cannot be just left to the government to resolve and that the young will have to use social media to spread awareness about the suffering of bonded children.

Satyarthi said the number of child workers in India had fallen from 12.5 million in 2001 to 10 million in 2011 and further to 4.2 million now. “I cannot verify the accuracy of this data but I can say there is improvement (in the situation).” But Satyarthi, who heads the NGO Bachpan Bachao Andolan (BBA), pointed out that there was a steep hike in incidents of child abuse and rape in both India and beyond. “Also, violence against children is on the rise, which is dangerous,” he said, and blamed pornography as one of the causes. Satyarthi put the strength of full-time child workers around the world at 160 million. “Almost half of them are victims of the worst form of child labor.

They are in a very dangerous situation. About five million of them are slaves who do not have any kind of freedom. They are traded.” Satyarthi spoke to IANS hours after he and his colleagues raided an obscure workshop in a narrow lane in Old Delhi and rescued nine children producing exportable decoration gifts for next Christmas. The owner of the illegal factory fled from the spot but police sealed the premises. The Nobel Prize winner underlined the strong connection between child labor and joblessness among adults. He said while about 160 million children were engaged in work, about 210 million adults were without work. “Most of these jobless are the very parents of the child laborers. That is the irony.”

‘Don’t want ‘Baahubali’ world to end’

As the blockbuster film franchise comes to an end, audiences can still continue rooting for the characters from the world of ‘Baahubali’ via comics, animation series and novels HARICHARAN PUDIPEDDI, CHENNAI

‘Hope ‘Baahubali 2’ crosses over Rs 20bn’

e’s the man of the moment in Indian cinema. Filmmaker S.S Rajamouli, basking in the phenomenal success of Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, believes the world of Baahubali goes beyond films and there is so much more to explore. So, he doesn’t want it to end. As the blockbuster film franchise — which has set new box office records for Indian films — comes to an end, audiences can still continue rooting for the characters from the world of Baahubali via comics, animation series and novels. “We created the world of Baahubali for our actors to understand their character better. When we look at Baahubali and Bhallaladeva, the warring brothers, what we see in the film is just a minor part of their lives. In the Baahubali universe, there is so much more worth knowing about them. The same applies to other characters

character in the world of Baahubali... Some really powerful scenes which needed to be told. Unfortunately, film medium has its own limitation and not all stories work very well in it. The story of Sivagami, for instance, is so powerful and exhaustive, we realized it will work wonders as a novel,” Rajamouli explained.

Mumbai beat Pune to win IPL

The match went right down to the last ball and Mumbai registered a one-run victory to grab a third tournament trophy IANS, HYDERABAD

umbai Indians defeated Rising Pune Supergiant (RPS) in a low-scoring final to win the Indian Premier League (IPL) title here this week. In a match that went right down to the last ball, Mumbai registered a one-run victory in front of packed stands at the Rajiv Gandhi International stadium. This is Mumbai’s third IPL title. Chasing a target of 130 runs, Pune could only manage to post 128/6 in their 20 overs. Australian fast bowler Mitchel Johnson was the most successful for Mumbai with figures of 3/26, while young pacer Jasprit Bumrah also played a crucial role, returning figures of 26/2 in four excellent overs. Veteran Sri Lankan pacer Lasith Malinga also bowled well and was unlucky not to manage a wicket. He conceded just 21 runs in his four overs.

Pune skipper Steven Smith led from the front scoring a fighting half-century in a losing cause. He notched up 51 runs off 50 deliveries with two boundaries and an equal number of sixes before falling in the last over. Pune started off on a shaky note when Bumrah trapped Rahul Tripathi leg before. Ajinkya Rahane and Smith tried to rebuild the innings with a 54run partnership before Kieron Pollard pulled off a superb catch at long on to send the captain back to the pavilion. With the Mumbai bowlers maintaining a tight line, Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Smith found the going tough and could only add 27 runs between them in as many balls. Dhoni scored 10 runs in 13 balls before falling to a poor shot in the 17th over, slashing a Bumrah delivery which was slightly outside off-stump but only managed an easy top edge to wicket-keeper Parthiv Patel.

Two bookies arrested during IPL final, 77 mobiles recovered NEW DELHI: Police arrested two bookmakers while they were organizing betting during the IPL final, and also recovered 77 mobiles from their rented flat in east Delhi, officials said. Those arrested have been identified as Sunil, 44, from Rohtak of Haryana, and Parvej, 38, from Shamli of Uttar Pradesh. Acting on a tip-off, police raided the flat in Kishan Kunj at around 9 p.m. on May 21, to find the two organising betting on the final match

His departure seemed to put the pressure on the Pune batsmen. Malinga conceded just five runs in the 18th over and Bumrah bowled another miserly over in the 19th to put pressure. With 11 runs needed off the final over, Manoj

of the Indian Premier League cricket tournament. “While Sunil was attending a phone call, Parvej was writing rates in a diary,” Omvir Singh, Deputy Commissioner of Police, East District said. Police recovered two diaries containing transactions of the bookies with their clients, 77 mobile phones, a calculator, a brown briefcase, and a microphone from the flat, Singh added.

Tiwary started with a boundary to square leg off Johnson but an attempted smash into the stands off the very next ball saw him caught at long on by Pollard. Smith fell on third ball, caught by Ambati Rayudu at the cover

boundary. Two runs came off the next ball but with four needed off the last ball, Daniel Christian was run out sending the Mumbai players into wild celebrations. Earlier, braces by bowlers Jaydev Unadkat, Adam Zampa and Christian enabled Pune to restrict Mumbai to 129 for eight. Mumbai’s top and middle order batsmen put up a horrific show against the disciplined bowling from Pune and the former were left reeling at 79/7 in the 15th over. All-rounder Krunal Pandya’s 47 off 38 deliveries pulled Mumbai out of the hole. Mumbai skipper Rohit Sharma (24) and Rayudu (12) weathered the storm briefly but the Pune bowlers continued to keep it tight. Young off-spinner Washington Sundar continued to be impressive, giving away only 13 runs in his four overs. Later, Krunal and Mitchell Johnson (13 not out) shared a strong 50-run partnership to take Mumbai to 129/8.

Messi’s 21-month prison sentence for tax fraud upheld IANS, MADRID

he Spanish Supreme Court this week upheld the 21month prison sentence handed down by a Barcelona court to FC Barcelona’s Argentinian star forward Lionel Messi for tax fraud. Spain’s highest court also upheld the conviction of Messi’s father, although it reduced his prison term from 21 to 15 months, reports Efe. Messi, a contemporary soccer legend, had been found guilty on three tax fraud counts after he evaded a total of 4.1 million euros ($4.59 million) in taxes accrued from the exploitation of his image rights. Jorge Messi’s reduced sentence came as a result of having returned part of the money owed to the Spanish tax authorities. This mitigating circumstance was

already applied to Messi by the Barcelona court in July; now the Supreme Court has dictated that the same measure must be applied to his

father, who was accused of aiding and abetting his son’s tax fraud. The court’s verdict also included a fine of two million euros ($2.23

million) for the soccer player and another 1.3 million euro ($1.45 million) fine for his father. However, their sentencing does not imply that both Messis end up physically serving time in prison, as it is standard policy in Spain that any prison sentence under two years is suspended by the court handing the verdict, as long as the defendant does not indulge in any additional criminal malfeasance. The final word regarding their fate remains in the hands of the Barcelona court that signed the sentence which has now been ratified by the Supreme Court. Meanwhile, former FC Barcelona President Sandro Rosell was arrested as part of a Civil Guard anti-fraud operation, the Spanish press reported. Rosell, who was Barcelona president between July 2010 and Janu-

ary 2014, before being forced to resign over irregularities in the signing of Brazilian striker Neymar, has been arrested along with four other people in a police operation named ‘Rimet’, reports Xinhua news agency. Searches have been carried out in Barcelona and the Catalan cities of Lleida and Girona, as well as the Principality of Andorra. The case is investigation the payment of illegal commissions for the television rights of games played by the Brazilian football side. The money from these payments was then laundered through companies based in tax havens, such as Andorra. Sources believe that Rosell and the former President of the Brazilian Football Federation, Ricardo Teixeira are both involved in the scandal.

A ‘Bonded’ career: Roger Moore as 007 and more

Angry Sonu Nigam bids adieu to Twitter

Despite a phobia of firearms, fear of heights, and disliking getting wet, Moore appeared the most — seven times — as James Bond VIKAS DUTTA, DELHI

a spy. Every bartender in the world offers him martinis that are shaken, not stirred. What kind of serious spy is recognized everywhere he goes? It’s outrageous. So you have to treat the humor outrageously as well. My personality is entirely different than previous Bonds. I’m not that cold-blooded killer type. Which is why I play it mostly for laughs,” he once said.

And while detractors said he didn’t look “tough”, he was no weakling, once beating up Lee Marvin while they were filming “Shout at the Devil” (1976). Marvin, a legendary hell-raiser, later admitted that Moore was “built like granite” and that “nobody will ever underestimate him again”. But there was more to Moore. After giving up playing the secret agent who defeats evil masterminds, he tried to help children around the world as a Unicef Goodwill Ambassador (succeeding his friend Audrey Hepburn in the role). The only son of London policeman George Alfred Moore and the Calcutta-born Lillian, Moore was born on October 14, 1927. Called for national service in 1946, he served in Germany and rose to the rank of Captain, which his time reportedly also included a stint in military intelligence. Moore developed the mannerisms that would serve him well as James Bond. When Sean Connery refused to do any more Bond films after “You Only Live Twice” (1967), Moore was on the shortlist to succeed him.

MUMBAI: Singer Sonu Nigam this week announced he will quit Twitter and has urged all “logical and sensible patriots” to do the same, following the suspension of singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya’s micro-blogging account. “I quit Twitter today in defiance of this one sided sham,” Sonu Nigam tweeted. He said: “One could disagree with Abhijeetda’s language but isn’t Shehla’s accusation that BJP has a sex racket, provocation enough to supporters?” “If his account is deleted, why not her? And the other morons who hurl... abuses to every achiever?” he asked. Twitter suspended the account of Abhijeet over sexist and offensive remarks, which stirred up a storm online. In a series of tweets, Abhijeet abused some women users, particularly JNU student-activist Shehla Rashid, following which Twitter took the action. When Shehla openly discussed about sex scandals involving BJP leaders, she was “abused by Abhijeet and hundreds of Sanghi trolls”.

‘Hindi Medium’: Winning combo of performances, writing

ducation is purportedly a ticket for success and in India, one of the criteria for a sought after school is English as the medium of instruction. For many parents, getting admission for their children to the right school with the best of facilities is of paramount importance and a nightmare. The film, Hindi Medium, showcases this issue with the right amount of flair. Despite being moralistic and loaded with messages, the film isn’t boring or preachy. It is in fact a romantic and an immensely entertaining film that decries the importance of speaking English in the dreadfully pretentious Indian society. Romantic, because the film opens with an apt tone setter of Raj — a tailor by profession falling in love with his muse Mita. He commits that he would ensure that Mita is happy all the time. Years later, how he complies with Mita’s latest desire - to get her only

Film: “Hindi Medium”; Director: Saket Chaudhary; Cast: Irrfan Khan, Saba Qamar, Jaspal Sharma, Deepak Dobriyal, Swati Das, Dishita Sehgal, Amrita Singh, Tillotama Shome, Sanjay Suri and Neha Dhupia; Rating: ***1/2

The film is undoubtedly a great canvas with a strong message.

daughter Pia admitted to an “elite,” English Medium school, forms the crux of the tale. Part of the genius of Hindi Medium is that it unfolds this relationship at a deliberate pace making education and its admission process just a by-product of the telling.

Irrfan Khan plays the ever-obliging husband with natural ease. He captures Raj Batra’s endearingly rustic spirit with such aplomb that you are one with him in his endeavour. Saba Qamar, the Pakistani actress, makes her role luminous with her brilliant portrayal of the wannabe society lass, Mitu. She has such lightness, grace and natural affinity that she glows and matches Irrfan in histrionics, especially when she tries convincing him that whatever she is doing is somehow for Pia’s benefit.

BY A STAFF WRITER HICAGO, IL -- A new malware scam is targeting consumers with airline emails, just in time for the summer travel booking season. Waves of spam emails have been sent masquerading as Delta Airlines receipts. In reality, they contain malicious software that can steal personal information from computers, according to information security researchers and Lake County prosecutors. The fake confirmation emails make it look like someone has just booked a ticket using the address to which it is sent. “However, no transaction actually took place,” said Lake County State’s Attorney Scott Turk. “The email is designed to scare you into thinking someone bought an

airplane ticket using your identity.” This can trigger a panic in recipients of the emails. If they happen to click too hastily on the email’s internally embedded links, they will then be redirected to compromised websites containing Microsoft Word documents infected with Hancitor malware. “Hancitor is a versatile malware frequently used in phishing attacks that specializes initially infecting a PC, and then acting as a bridge for further malware downloads,” Turk said, in a warning to consumers. Heimdal Security, who discovered the scam last month, said the emails have a few clear signs they’re fake, including illegitimate email addresses and a lack of flight information

BY DR. NILESH MEHTA HICAGO, IL – The US Food and Drug Administration on May 23 announced that, for the first time, it had approved a cancer drug based on disease genetics rather than the body part where the cancer originated. Successful research in the laboratory has translated into a promising future for cancer patients. No wonder, May 23, 2017 will go down in the history of Oncology developmental therapeutics as a huge day. It appears that finally, chemotherapy will be taking a back seat now that the “driver mutations” and MSI/MMR are being increasingly recognized as targets for our successful therapy. There has been some consternation among patients and families about the “C” words – Cancer and Chemotherapy. Doctors try and allay some of the fears about the diagnosis of cancer by focusing on some of the positives that one can think about during these difficult times. We have come a long way in supportive care treatments to alleviate some of the discomfort patients undergo while on chemotherapy. Why then was an alternative to chemotherapy not discovered? It is not an easy question to answer. As physicians learned more about the tumor, focus from “killing all cancer cells” was gradually shifting to “let us trick the cancer cells into dying”. This was attempted a few decades ago at the National Cancer Institute. Eventually, this successful journey of targeted drugs with “personalized medicine” began. If a lung cancer patient had an EGFR mutation, we do not need to start chemotherapy but rather give them a pill once a day to suppress their cancer cells. But, more importantly, we spared them of the toxicity of chemotherapy that has the propensity of “killing” all cells – cancerous and non-cancerous – that come in their way. This is much akin to a bull dozer going down the street while leveling everything that is underneath. This concept had to change, and it did. Rather than treat the cancer in a generic fashion, why not try and understand the “genetic make-up” of the tumor and then attack it intelligently. That is what has happened over the last decade and a half. But, with the May 23 announcement by the FDA, we have taken it up a notch further. Drugs like pembrolizumab ( a check point inhibitor) utilizes patient’s own immune system thus recruiting its own internal defensive forces to fight the cancer cells. Immense research in the laboratory for years led to the conclusion that we do not need to kill everything in sight to gain success in cancer medicine. Tricking the cancer cells by augmenting our own T lymphocytes can create a similar environment of suppressing the growth of cancer cells. This is the first time the agency has approved a cancer treatment based on a common biomarker rather than the location in the body where the tumor originated. From a practical standpoint what this means is when a biopsy shows cancer cells, the tissue is sent for further analysis to study biomarkers called as microsatellite and mismatch repair testing. This essentially means that the source of the primary tumor becomes somewhat irrelevant but what matters is whether the tumor expresses microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or mismatch repair deficient (dMMR). Says Richard Pazdur, M.D., director of the FDA’s Oncology Center of Excellence: “Until now, the FDA has approved cancer treatments based on where in the body the cancer started—for example, lung or breast cancers. We have now approved a drug based on a tumor’s biomarker without regard to the tumor’s original location.”

Shri Ramji; Laxmanji; Sitaji, Hanumanji; Ganeshji, Hanumanji, (Das Swaroop) Shrinathji, Shri Venkateshvar Swamiji, Shivalinga and the Navgrahas. The Nyaas ceremony was performed behind curtains. Devata Shringaar followed the Nyaas ceremony. The much-awaited ceremony was the Shikhar kumbha abhisheka. All the devotees assembled in the Prayer hall. At least 108 colorful, sanctified and decorated Kalashes were carried on their heads by 108 women attired in colorful, traditional festive clothing circumambulated around the Mandir complex to sanctify the complex. The water in the Kalash was then offered to the Shiva-linga as

They exhorted the devotees to join Dollar-a-day program to help the Temple, to not only meet its maintenance and operational expenditure but also improve and add to the facilities and make it a throbbing and thriving Temple. In her vote of thanks the Mandir’s elated Chairperson Devyani Desai thanked all the volunteers, devotees and trustees for participating in the grand celebrations and for the flawless, professional and courteous serving of mahaprasad ,managing the dining facility ,efficient parking , over all cleaning and tidiness.

Six Indians held for IRS phone scam BY A STAFF WRITER ERSEY CITY, NJ -- Six Indian Americans in Jersey City, N.J., were arrested in connection with an IRS telephone scam that scored the group more than $100,000. According to Middlesex County Prosecutors Andrew Carey, Ronak Butani, 24; Jay Kakadiya, 24; Akash Chovatiya, 23; Divyesh Patel, 23; Jagdish Patel, 22; and Brijesh Parmar, 26, were charged with multiple counts of money laundering and conspiracy. The scam netted the group roughly $120,000. Local, county and federal investigators discovered that the group of Indian Americans called people and told them that they owed hefty sums of money in taxes. If they didn’t pay up, they would be arrested, the fake IRS callers would say. Authorities said that the callers would tell the people on the other end of the line to purchase gift cards at retail stores in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut. Once purchased, the callers instructed the people to read the

BY A STAFF WRITER ERSEY CITY, NJ -- A false nuclear power plant warning was accidentally sent to residents in Salem and Cumberland counties on the night of May 23. The message, which claimed a nuclear power plant warning was in effect for the two New Jersey counties, was broadcast on television, prompting thousands of phone calls from panicked residents to Cumberland County dispatchers. Officials say the alert was a false alarm and they were conducting their regularly scheduled exercise with the PSEG Salem/Hope Creek Nuclear Power Station. The message was sent out in error, the Cumberland County Office of Emergency Management said. “The message was not initiated from the County level but from the State of New Jersey,” Cumberland County public safety director and OEM coordinator Ed Conrow said. Cumberland County OEM said it initiated its SwiftReach reverse 911 to alert residents of the false alarm. After a little more than an hour, more than 69,000 calls were made with less than half answered, OEM said. Officials say residents in both counties have nothing to worry about and there is no warning or emergency in effect. They apologized for the mistake.

since 2002: “My customers are lucky.” Most recently, Gill sold a $1 million lottery ticket on May 10 to the Donbern Nominee Trust of Quincy, which was a winner in the “$10,000,000 Multiplier Spectacular” instant game. Trustee David Spillane chose to receive a one-time payment of $650,000, after the taxes were paid. Gill himself got a bonus of $10,000 from the lottery. Signs outside the Qwik Mart note that the store has created five millionaires.

COMMUNITY NEWS/ midwest student’s Immigrant arrests up under Trump Missing body recovered FRIDAY, 26 MAY, 2017

BY A STAFF WRITER ANTA ANA,CA -- Immigration arrests increased by nearly 40 per cent in early 2017 as newly-emboldened agents under President Trump detained more than 40,000 people suspected of being in the country illegally--with a renewed focus on immigrants without criminal convictions. The numbers released by Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Thomas Homan provide a snapshot of how the new President is carrying through on his campaign promises to make immigration enforcement a top priority. Overall, 41,300 people were arrested for deportation. Nearly 11,000 had no criminal conviction, more than double the number of immigrants without criminal convictions arrested during a comparable period last year. Even so, deportations carried out were down from late January to late April compared to a year ago despite Trump’s stepped-up immigration enforcement effort. The increase in arrests of people without criminal convictions has generated outrage across the US from Trump opponents who believe otherwise law-abiding families are being rounded up. The report was made public as the Trump administration seeks to promote its accomplishments despite a growing scandal over the firing of the FBI director and the sharing of intelligence with Russian officials.

Alaap Narasipura

BY A STAFF WRITER EW YORK – The body of an Indian American student was found here after he went missing earlier this week. Aalaap Narasipura, 20, was studying electrical engineering at Cornell University and had disappeared since May 24. He was set to graduate this December. The Cornell University Police said Narasipura’s body was recovered on May 19 from Fall Creek, a gorge located near Ithaca Falls. The circumstances of Narasipura’s death remain under investigation, but the police said they don’t suspect any foul play. State and local authorities from multiple agencies searched Narasipura’s residence, academic spaces and regular routes of travel as well as adjacent natural areas and gorges around the Ivy League university. They did not find any evidence of his whereabouts until coming across his body in Fall Creek.

The President “puts this out to distract from the real affairs of our country,” said Angelica Salas, executive director of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights. “It is unfortunate that he basically is using the pain and destroying our families as a way by which to give red meat to his base.” Some highlights in the numbers: --41,300 immigrants were arrested on suspicion of being in the country illegally between Jan. 22 and April 29, up from 30,000 during a similar year-earlier period.

Letter against Muslim candidate under lens BY A STAFF WRITER HREWSBURY, MS – The police in Shrewsbury, Mass., are investigating a letter sent to some residents urging them not to vote for a Muslim candidate for the town’s governing board.

DRINKING IN PREGNANCY HARMS KIDS

Alcohol during pregnancy may their put children at the risk of impairment in kidney blood flow in adulthood and heightened neurological problems IANS, NEW YORK

others who consume alcohol during pregnancy put their children at the risk of impairment in kidney blood flow in adulthood and heightened neurological problems caused by a stroke, warns a study. In the study conducted on mice,

the blood flow analysis showed evidence for increased arterial resistance within the kidneys -- a sign of possible early onset renal hypertension in the male offspring that were exposed to alcohol before birth. “The finding indicates that in mice exposed to alcohol before birth, sex appears to play some role in whether the volume of damaged

tissue in the brain correlates with functional and neurological impairment,” said lead researcher Shameena Bake, assistant professor at Texas A & M Health Science Centre in the US. Assessing neurological damage caused by stroke, the researchers found greater levels of impairment in the six female and six male mice that had fetal alcohol exposure,

compared with the dozen that were not exposed to alcohol. Moreover, the measurements of the stroke-damaged area of the brain were linked to scores on neurological testing in the females, but not the males, with fetal alcohol exposure, the researchers maintained. Researchers administered ethanol to six pregnant mice twice daily for four days, from gestation-

al day 12 through 15, and administered water to six other pregnant mice. Using ultrasound testing, the team measured blood flow in both male and female offspring of the mice at three months of age. The study was presented at the American Stroke Association’s International Stroke Conference 2016.

Piling calories? Blame spouse Good night’s sleep strengthens memory IANS, LONDON

ext time when you try to imitate the way your spouse eats, pause for a moment as a couple’s lifestyle choices can increase their chances of becoming obese regardless of their genetic profile, finds a study. According to researchers, choices made by couples in middle age -including those linked to diet and exercise -- have a much greater impact on them than the lifestyle each shared during their childhood. “The environment you share with your partner in adulthood also influences whether you become obese and this is more important than your upbringing,” said lead researcher Chris Haley from the University of Edinburgh

IANS, LONDON

E in Britain. The findings, published in the journal PLOS Genetics, reinforce the message that lifestyle changes in adulthood can have a significant impact in tackling obesity. The research helped scientists to better understand links between

obesity, genetics and lifestyle habits. The team analysed data provided by 20,000 people. “The findings also show that even people who come from families with a history of obesity can reduce their risk by changing their lifestyle habits,” Haley added.

Almonds boost your overall health IANS, NEW YORK

ating moderate amount of almonds daily right from the childhood days can drastically improve health later in life, a study has found. “If a parent is able to incorporate almonds or different healthy snacks into a child’s diet, it’s more likely that the child will choose those snacks later on in life,” said lead researcher Alyssa Burns from University of Florida. To reach the conclusion,

researchers studied the effect that the addition of almonds can have on a person’s diet quality. For a 14-week study, data was collected from 28 pairs of parents and

children. The parents were instructed to eat 42.52 grams of almonds each day and the children were encouraged to eat 14.17 grams of almonds or an equivalent amount of almond butter each day. The findings showed that after the almond intervention, the average “Healthy Eating Index” score for parents and children increased. The results suggest that whole food approaches, like adding almonds to diet, may be an achievable way to improve overall health.

nsure proper sleep if you want to boost your memory as brain activity during sleep sorts through several experiences we encounter every day and retains only important information in memory pockets, say researchers. The findings showed that patterns of brain activity that occur during the day are replayed at fastforward speed during sleep. The key result is that sleep replay strengthens the microscopic connections between nerve cells that are active -- a process deemed critical for consolidating memories. “These findings are about the fundamental processes that occur

in the brain during the consolidation of memory during sleep,” said lead researcher Jack Mellor from University of Bristol in a paper published in the journal Cell Reports. The new discoveries provide further evidence for the benefits of a good night’s sleep. Good sleep is important because the bad night sleep often experienced by both the healthy population and people with schizophrenia or Alzheimer’s disease. “It also seems that the successful replay of brain activity during sleep is dependent on the emotional state of the person when they are learning. This has major implications for how we teach and enable people to learn effectively,” Mellor said.

Zika mosquito may transmit dengue

Omega-3 foods may help prevent Alzheimer’s NEW YORK: Eating foods rich in omega 3 fatty acids may raise blood flow to areas in the brain associated with memory and learning, thus reducing the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, a study has showed. Alzheimer’s is a progressive disease that destroys memory and other important mental functions. Omega-3 fatty acids commonly found in — flaxseed oil, walnuts, salmon, soybeans, and spinach — have shown anti-amyloid, anti-tau and anti-inflammatory actions in the brains of animals. The study showed positive relationships between omega-3 EPA+DHA status, brain perfusion, and cognition. “This is very important research because it shows a correlation between lower omega-3 fatty acid levels and reduced brain blood flow to regions important for learning, memory, depression and dementia,” said lead author Daniel G. Amen, CEO, the Amen Clinics Inc in the US. Further, the study also demonstrates the value of nutritional inter-

Tobacco causes infertility, say doctors decreased sperm quality with lower mobility and it boosts numbers of abnormally shaped sperms. Also, if one is a chain smoker then it might also decrease the sperm’s ability to fertilize eggs,” said Mehta.

IANS, NEW DELHI

NEW YORK: The primary mosquito that spreads Zika virus — aedes aegypti — might also simultaneously transmit chikungunya and dengue viruses with a single bite, says a study that sheds new light on co-infection. “A mosquito, in theory, could give you multiple viruses at once,” said Claudia Ruckert, post-doctoral researcher at Colorado State University in the US. In the study, published in the journal Nature Communications, the team infected mosquitoes in the lab with multiple kinds of viruses to learn more about the transmission of more than one infection from a single mosquito bite. The results showed that mosquitoes in the lab can transmit all three viruses simultaneously, although this is likely to be extremely rare in the nature. —IANS

vention for brain health by using the latest brain imaging technique known as Single photon emission computed tomography, or SPECT, which can measure blood perfusion in the brain. “This study opens the door to the possibility that relatively simple dietary changes could favorably impact cognitive function,” added William S. Harris, from the University of South Dakota In the study, appearing in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, the images acquired from participants performing various cognitive tasks will show higher blood flow in specific brain regions. In the study, the team analyzed the brain images acquired from 166 participants with high Omega 3 levels performing various cognitive tasks and found higher blood flow in specific brain regions involved with memory, and neurocognitive testing. In addition, they also found that omega-3 levels also correlated with various psychological feelings of the participants. —IANS

octors this week said that consumption of tobacco products such as smoking causes infertility in both males as well as females. Fertility experts have said tobacco and other types of narcotics can also cause occurrence of early menopause in women. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), till 2015, India had 12 per cent of the world’s tobacco users with over 108 million smokers. “One should avoid using tobacco (cigarettes) and marijuana. They reduce fertility, especially by reducing sperm counts. Smoking damages sperm, making them less likely to fertilize eggs. The embryos they create are less likely to survive,” said Arvind Vaid, who is an In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) Specialist at Delhi-based Indira IVF Hospital. Studies have also revealed that compared to non-smokers, active smokers were 14 per cent more

likely to be infertile and 26 per cent more likely to have menopause at an early age. Also noting that while cigarettes do not necessarily cause infertility, Vaid said they can have an adverse effect on a couple’s ability to conceive. “The problem exists in men as much as in women,” he added. Parbeen Mehta, a gynaecologist at Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital,

said human sperm cells carry two tiny, highly-charged proteins called protamine 1 and protamine 2 which are in a perfectly balanced one-to-one relationship. “However, sperms of the smokers carry very little protamine, which makes them highly vulnerable to DNA damage,” said Mehta. She said passive smoking may also affect male fertility. “Male smokers can suffer

According to the World Health Organization, till 2015, India had 12 per cent of the world’s tobacco users with over 108 million smokers According to Parth Joshi, another IVF expert, women who smoke tobacco, marijuana and several other narcotic products may have early menopause. “Gradually, by the time a woman enters her 30s, her fertility starts declining which speeds up after she is 35 years and beyond. However, tobacco can cause it early,” said Joshi.
