World saw America’s renewed confidence: Trump Trump calls his recent Asia tour that took him to Japan, South Korea, China, Vietnam and the Philippines, a “tremendous success” IANS, WASHINGTON
U
S President Donald Trump has called his recent Asia tour, that took him to Japan, South Korea, China, Vietnam and the Philippines, a “tremendous success”. Trump said that the “great respect” he received from foreign leaders was “evidence that America’s renewed confidence and standing in the world has never been stronger than it is right now”, Efe news reported. In a speech at the White House a day after returning from his 12day trip, Trump emphasized said: “When we are confident in ourselves, our strength, our flag, our history, our values - other nations are confident in us... (and) this is exactly what the world saw -- a strong, proud, and confident America.” The President said that the challenges facing Washington on the world stage were “inherited” from past US administrations, the leaders of which he did not name. These challenges, he said, are the result of “mistakes ... born of indif-

ference and neglect. Others from naïve thinking and misguided judgment. In some cases, the negative influence of partisan politics and special interests was to blame.” “But the one common thread behind all of these problems,” he said, “was a failure to protect and promote the interests of the
Experts deny ‘acoustic attacks’ on US diplomats HAVANA: Cuban and foreign experts have offered scientific evidence denying the alleged “acoustic attacks” on the US diplomatic personnel in the island, an incident which has harmed the relations between the two former Cold War foes. In an online forum promoted by a committee of experts created to investigate the incidents, several foreign and local scientists explained that it was impossible to execute such attacks upon selected individuals without being detected or affecting larger groups of people, Xinhua news agency reported. According to the US State Department, 24 diplomats on the island were harmed by the alleged acoustic attacks which caused hearing loss, dizziness, fatigue and cognitive issues. “This type of selective attack has never been heard of... The appearance of sudden hearing loss

American people and American workers.” These were the first public remarks Trump had made after his Asia trip and he discussed the various stops he made throughout the region, saying that in every country he has visited so far as president “I have worked to advance Ameri-
can interests and leadership in the world.” The President also repeated his standard warning about the North Korean threat, saying: “Time is running out, and all options are on the table,” and emphasized that “fair and reciprocal trade” is “so important” to the US and to US workers.
Democrats demand Trump impeachment WASHINGTON: A small group of House Democrats have introduced articles of impeachment against US President Donald Trump. Donald Trum Representative Steve Cohen told a press conference on Wednesday that five other Democrats have signed his resolution to introduce five articles of impeachment against the President, Xinhua news agency reported this week. They charged that Trump obstructed justice when firing former FBI Director James Comey; that he has violated the Constitution’s emoluments clause; and that he has undermined the independence of the federal judiciary and freedom of the press. “The time has come to make clear to the American people and to this President that his train of injuries to our Constitution must be brought to an end through impeachment,” Cohen told reporters. “We’re calling upon the House to begin impeachment hearings,” the Tennessee Democrat said. “It’s not a call for a vote. It’s a call for hearings.” Cohen, the ranking member on the House Judiciary Committee’s Constitution subcommittee, admitted that the Democratic proposal has little chance of success both — the House and the Senate — are controlled by the Republicans. — IANS
Ghost hunter to be federal judge? IANS, WASHINGTON:
O without an audible source is very unusual,” said Colleen LePrell, an audiologist and professor at the University of Texas, at the forum. Washington provided Cuban investigators with 14 recordings of the sound that the victims heard during the attacks but the study concluded they did not contain anything that could damage human health. The experts and the criminal investigation forensics team said the recordings provided by the US investigators were similar to the sounds of crickets and cicadas.
ne of US President Donald Trump’s judicial nominees is a ghost hunter who has written several novellas about paranormal activities. The appointment of Brett Talley, 36, for a lifetime post as an Alabama federal judge is raising eyebrows because he has never tried a case, BBC reported this week. It also emerged he failed to disclose on a conflict-of-interest questionnaire that his wife is a White House lawyer. But he did divulge his Tuscaloosa Paranormal Research Group membership. Talley was approved last week by the Senate committee on a partyline vote, and he is likely to be confirmed by the full chamber soon. His nomination is part of President Trump’s efforts to expand the presence of conservative jurists in American courtrooms, say analysts. The Harvard-educated lawyer was unanimously deemed “not

qualified” by the American Bar Association to serve an appointment on the US District Court for the Middle District of Alabama. Talley, who has practiced law for three years, has written right-wing blog posts critical of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, whom he labelled “Rotten”,
according to US media. He also maintains a horror blog online, when not searching for ghosts. In a questionnaire form submitted to the Senate Judiciary Committee, Talley revealed his 2009-10 affiliation with the phantom chasers.

ith Prime Minister Narendra Modi declaring that relations between India and the US were growing with “great deal of speed”, the two countries pledged to enhance their strategic cooperation as Major Defense Partners during a meeting here on Monday between him and US President Donald Trump, according to the White House. “They pledged to enhance their cooperation as Major Defense Partners, resolving that two of the world’s great democracies should also have the world’s greatest militaries,” the President’s press office said. “The two leaders discussed the comprehensive strategic partner-
Trump, Putin agree on need to defeat IS DA NANG (VIETNAM): US President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin have agreed upon the need to defeat the Islamic State (IS) in Syria and called on all countries to build up humanitarian assistance to the war-ravaged country. Both the leaders “reaffirmed their commitment to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Syria and called on the parties to the conflict there to participate in the Geneva political process... and reiterated the need to destroy the IS”, according to a joint statement approved by Putin and Trump on the sidelines of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit here on Saturday. The two leaders said “there is no military solution to the conflict in Syria” and urged the UN member states to increase their contributions to providing humanitarian aid to Damascus in the coming months, TASS news agency reported. —IANS
Trump promises to fix trade deficit with Asia MANILA: US President Donald Trump on Monday promised to reduce his country’s trade deficit with Asia and pitched at the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) Summit here for reciprocal trade relations. Trump said the US seeks “economic partnerships on the basis of fairness and reciprocity” with members of the Asean comprising Myanmar, Brunei, Cambodia, Philippines, Indonesia,

thing you know, in addition to about $300 billion in sales to various companies, including China,” he said. The US President added that he will announce the results of the trade negotiations of his fourth international tour and first Asian one only after his return to Washington on Wednesday. Trump rued his country’s trade deficits with almost all East Asian countries and promised to fix it soon.
bilateral, regional and global issues of mutual interest,” External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said. The two leaders met on the sidelines of the Asean summit a day after India, US, Japan and Australia held
talks to begin the quadrilateral process for greater cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region. It followed Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s declaration that India would have an important strategic role as one of the democratic
anchors of security cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region that would also embrace Japan and Australia. Separately, Trump had a joint meeting with Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull of Australia and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe of Japan to discuss “a free and open IndoPacific region”. While unveiling his new Afghanistan strategy in August, Trump had said that with India “we are committed to pursuing our shared objectives for peace and security in South Asia and the broader Indo-Pacific region”. The Manila meeting was their second extended round of talks after Modi’s White House visit in June. On Sunday they had a brief interaction at a dinner hosted by Filipino President Rodrigo Duterte.
Trump pitches ‘America First’ policy at APEC Summit IANS, DA NANG (VIETNAM)
U
S President Donald Trump last week pitched an “America First” trade policy at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit (APEC) here, warning that he will not allow “the US to be taken advantage of any more.” Speaking at a gathering of business leaders, Trump demanded trade “on a fair and equal basis” and returned to his campaign rhetoric, promising to place America first in global deals and agreements. “We are not going to let the US be taken advantage of any more,” Trump said, speaking shortly after arriving in Vietnam, his fourth stop on a five-country tour through Asia. “I am always going to put America first, the same way that I expect all of you in this room to put your countries first,” the Washington Post reported. APEC brings together 21 economies from the Pacific region — the equivalent of about 60 per cent of the world’s GDP. The US President’s more fiery

and protectionist tone offered a stark departure from just a day earlier, when in Beijing, Trump seemed reluctant to press his case as sharply with Chinese President Xi Jinping, the Post said. There, Trump lavished praise on Xi and blamed his predecessors, not China, for the trade imbalance. He also laid out Washington’s
new approach to trade, telling the audience at the summit on Friday that he would no longer pursue multinational trade agreements “that tie our hands, surrender our sovereignty and make meaningful enforcement practically impossible”. “I will make bilateral trade agreements with any Indo-Pacific nation that wants to be our partner and
that will abide by the principles of fair and reciprocal trade,” Trump said without directly mentioning the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a major trade deal with 12 APEC member countries. After taking office, Trump pulled the US out of the TPP, arguing that it would hurt US economic interests. In a tacit knock on Chinese leaders, the US leader said Washington would “no longer tolerate the audacious theft of intellectual property”, CNN reported. “We will confront the destructive practices of forcing businesses to surrender their technology to the state, and forcing them into joint ventures in exchange for market access,” he said. Businesses in the US have long complained about China failing to honor intellectual property rights. Immediately after Trump left the stage, Xi took his place, delivering a starkly contrasting speech that argued for pursuing the kinds of global initiatives that the US President had shunned.

Elections to Gujarat’s 182-seat assembly will be held on December 9 and 14.

On Wednesday, officials had said the EPCA might ask officials to revoke the restrictions imposed under the “severe-plus” or “emergency” category of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) and replace them with those under the “very poor” category. The severe-plus GRAP was imposed on November 7, after a thick yellow blanket of smog covered Delhi due to the cumulative effect of stubble burning in neighboring states and meteorological reasons.

Checking pollution:
Govt needs to act A WHO report in 2014 classified New Delhi as the most polluted capital and the situation in 2017 appears worse RAJAT ARORA, NEW DELHI
T
he Delhi government has declared a medical emergency with the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) sending out alarming messages on its website, calling for states to tackle pollution on “priority.” The CPCB is holding frantic meetings to keep the public updated on the alarming PM (particulate matter) levels. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has termed the situation as an “emergency” as the Meteorological Department has forecast that a change of weather is most unlikely. The World Health Organization in 2014 classified New Delhi as the world’s most polluted capital, with air quality levels worse than Beijing; and it appears that now in 2017 the situation has worsened multiple-fold. Delhi’s air quality is usually known to worsen ahead of the onset of winter as the cool air traps pollutants near the ground, preventing them from dispersing into the atmosphere, a
phenomenon known as inversion. While Delhi has always had its fair share of pollutants attributed to the exploding vehicular population.

A report in the Lancet medical journal stated that pollution had claimed as many as 2.5 million lives in India in 2015, the highest in the world.

Perhaps in the daily, mad rush in Maximum City, not many Mumbaikars pay attention to the 16-odd time-keepers of the city, some of them centuries old. But they have seen dramatic changes as Mumbai evolved from a conglomeration of fishing villages into a burgeoning metropolis — a modern, global financial centre accommodating 17 million people that often appears to come asunder at its seams. “I was once permitted to go up the tower to click Mumbai views, but came across a lot of dirt, pigeon droppings and even dead birds.

The Mumbai Port Trust is even considering setting up a museum at the site,” Desai informed.

Priti’s exit won’t affect NRI power Priti Patel, the most influential British-Indian politician, was ousted from the government in an unceremonious way ANASUDHIN AZEEZ, LONDON
I
t was shocking news for the Indian community in Britain. The most influential BritishIndian politician was ousted from the government in an unceremonious way. International Development Secretary Priti Patel was recalled from her Uganda trip and forced to submit her resignation for breaching the ministerial code of conduct. What a fall! Just a few days back, she was sort of in the shoes of Prime Minister Theresa May to welcome guests at No 10 Downing Street to celebrate Diwali. We thought — a Prime Minister in
waiting. A proud moment for the 1.5 million Indian-origin British citizens. We are getting closer and closer to the epicentre of British power. Former Prime Minister David Cameron’s prophecies will become a reality very soon. But that hope was shattered. Patel, a former Indian diaspora champion and a Pravasi Bharatiya Puraskar awardee, became a victim of her own actions. Surprisingly nobody was there to mourn for her. Neither any party colleagues like MP Alok Sharma or the influential Conservative Friends of India. Her departure won’t affect India’s influence in the power cor-
Indian-American teen killed in road rage incident in New York NEW YORK: An Indian-American teenager has been killed in a road rage incident when a driver ran his truck over her after a minor collision in the city’s suburb of Levittown, according to media reports. On November 12, police in Nassau County adjoining New York City were looking for the driver who allegedly attacked dental student Taranjit Parmar. WPIX TV reported that police told the family that the pickup truck’s license plate could not be seen on a surveillance video of the incident. Police released the video and asked the public to help
find him. Parmar’s brand new jeep was hit by a red pickup truck that was attempting to make a turn, the station quoted police as saying. The two vehicles then pulled off the roadway and when Parmar got out got out the jeep, the truck, the driver mowed her down and drove away, according to police. —IANS
ridors, because the post-Brexit Britain needs India more than India needs Britain. Patel was hiding behind the Ministerial Code of Ethics when India was humiliated by pro-Pakistani Members of Parliament over the Kashmir issue. She never supported repeated calls from Indian leaders to relax visa rules for Indian students. Patel even campaigned to tighten the visa rules for foreign chefs at curry houses. That caused the closure of hundreds of restaurants across the country. She was silent when hundreds of immigrants were racially abused on the streets just after the EU referendum.

grants when they are not part of your constituency? With a majority of 27,000 plus votes, Patel was quite comfortable with her agenda. She burned all her bridges to ful-

Baby’s circumcision: Doctor cleared IANS, MUMBAI
A
n Indian-origin doctor who was arrested in East Midlands region of England for the circumcision of a three-monthold baby boy without his mother’s approval has been released without charge. Dr Balvinder Mehat, 61, was accused of circumcising the tot without religious reasons in July 2013. The boy underwent the procedure when his paternal grandmother took him for a surgery in Nottingham. “The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) deemed that there would be no realistic prospect of

conviction,” Nottinghamshire Police said, adding that they had “thoroughly investigated the incident”, the BBC reported.
The boy’s mother had complained to Nottinghamshire police after the incident but they deemed it not to be a criminal matter and the case was referred to the General Medical Council. The case was reopened after the mother got help from an anti-circumcision group and a human rights lawyer. Mehat from the Bakersfield Medical Centre in Nottingham was arrested earlier this year in June and he told police that he believed the mother had consented. Police also arrested the boy’s father and paternal grandmother on suspicion of conspiracy to commit grievous bodily harm, but they were released without charge.
Indian student shot dead at grocery store in California IANS, WASHINGTON
A
n Indian student was shot dead allegedly by two armed robbers, including one of Indian-origin, at a grocery store in the US state of California, a media report said. The incident happened on Monday night when Dharampreet Singh Jassar, 20, was on duty at the Tackle Box store next to a gas station in Madera city. The suspects barged into the store to loot and one of them fired several shots at Jassar, who reportedly tried to hide behind the cash counter, The Fresno Bee reported on November 16.

They later fled the scene with cash and a few big boxes of cigarettes, the police said. The incident
was reported to the police by a customer who found Jasser’s body on the floor on Tuesday, the report
said. Jasser hailed from Punjab and was a student of accounting. He had gone to the US around three years ago on a student visa. Police arrested 21-year-old Armitraj Singh Athwal, an Indian-origin man, believed to be one of the two robbers who fired multiple shots at Jasser. Authorities said a Fresno County Sheriff’s deputy saw media coverage of the incident and recognised similarities between the suspects from the incident and Athwal. Madera Sheriff’s detectives were contacted and determined that Athwal is the likely suspect in the shooting. During a search of Athwal’s vehicle, the police discovered
an unregistered .38-caliber revolver, a .22-caliber assault pistol that had been reported stolen, drugs and a blue bandana noticeable in the surveillance footage of the robbery at the store. Athwal’s vehicle was also registered in another name. “Dharampreet was a completely innocent victim, just doing his job, when he was senselessly killed during this robbery,” Madera Sheriff Jay Varney said. Athwal faces robbery and murder charges. He does not appear to have a lengthy criminal history, Varney said. His bail is set at $1 million. Detectives continue to search for the second suspect.

imbabwe remained in political limbo a day-anda-half after the military takeover that appears to have put an end to Robert Mugabe’s 37-year grip on power. Talks between the ousted President, who has been confined to his residence in Harare by the Army, and senior military officers continued on Thursday with senior church leaders and envoys from neighboring South Africa involved in mediation efforts. Harare remained tense but calm amid the political uncertainty. Troops have secured the airport, government offices, Parliament and other key sites. The rest of the country remained peaceful. The takeover has been cautiously welcomed by many Zimbabweans, the Guardian reported. The military declared on national television early on Wednesday that it

had temporarily taken control of the country to “target criminals” around the 93-year-old President. The intervention came after weeks of political turmoil, in which Mugabe sacked his powerful Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa,
clearing the way for Mugabe’s wife Grace to succeed him. The move exacerbated divisions in the ruling Zanu-PF party. Mnangagwa enjoyed wide support in the military and was reported to have returned to Zimbabwe.
HARARE: The Zimbabwean military’s takeover of power and detention of President Robert Mugabe “seems like a coup”, key regional bloc African Union (AU) has said. AU head Alpha Conde said the Union demands an immediate return to constitutional order, BBC reported this week. The military denies staging a coup, saying that Mugabe is safe and that it was acting against “criminals” surrounding him. His vice-president, Emmerson Mnangagwa was fired last week, making Mugabe’s wife Grace the president’s likely successor -- but leaving top military officials feeling sidelined. —IANS
Reports that Grace Mugabe had fled to Namibia on Wednesday appeared false, with the Guardian quoting several sources as saying that she was detained with her husband in their residence. The future of the first lady is a key element in the ongoing discussions between Mugabe and the military.

Saad Hariri’s resignation: Lebanon slams Riyadh Macron invites Hariri, family to France

L
ebanon’s President Michel Aoun has criticized Saudi Arabia on the background of Prime Minister Saad Hariri’s resignation, saying that Riyadh has carried out an “act of aggression” against Lebanon. “We consider Prime Minister Saad Hariri as being detained in Saudi Arabia and this is an act of aggression against Lebanon,” Aoun said during a meeting with the National Audio&Visual Council, Xinhua reported. Aoun said that nothing justified Hariri’s continued stay in Saudi Arabia, now into day 12. “This contradicts the Vienna Treaty and human rights,” said Aoun, according to the President’s Twitter account. He stressed “we cannot keep wait-

Aoun added “he needs to return to Lebanon to submit his resignation or withdraw it, or discuss the reasons for it and the solutions.” The controversy was raised following Hariri’s sudden resignation on November 4.

Football world in shock after Italy’s World Cup exit Veteran goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon bid a tearful farewell to his career even as his team mates collapsed in bitter disappointment all around him following a goalless draw against Sweden AJEYO BASU, NEW DELHI
I
taly’s failure to ensure World Cup qualification for the first time in 60 years has sent the football world into shock and signalled the exit of the remaining veterans of the generation that won the 2006 World Cup. Veteran goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, the most capped player in the history of the Italian national team with 175 international matches under his belt, bid a tearful farewell to a distinguished career even as his team mates collapsed in bitter disappointment all around him following a goalless draw against Sweden in the second leg of their play-off tie in Milan this week. “We have pride, strength and we’re stubborn. We know how to get back up again as we’ve always done. I’m leaving an Italy side that will know how to speak for itself. Hugs to everyone, especially those I’ve shared this wonderful journey with,” Buffon was quoted as saying by the official Twitter handle of the Italian football federation. “I’m not sorry for myself but all

of Italian football. We failed at something which also means something on a social level. There’s regret at finishing like that, not because time passes,” he added. Crowned World Cup champions four times, Italy have appeared in every edition of the tournament

except for 1958 — when they did not qualify — and the very first tournament in 1930, in which they declined to take part. Winners of the title in 1934, 1938, 1982 and 2006, Italy are among the favourites in every World Cup.
Experienced defender Andrea Barzagli, one Buffon’s teammates from the 2006 World Cup campaign, also announced his international retirement immediately after this week’s match. That leaves veteran central defender Giorgio Chiellini —

FUZHOU (CHINA): Indian shuttlers Saina Nehwal and H.S. Prannoy bowed out of the World Superseries Premier going down to their respective opponents on November 16. In a match which lasted 37 minutes, Japan’s Akane Yamaguchi defeated Saina in straight games 21-18, 21-11 to advance in the women’s singles category while Lee Cheuk Yiu overpowered Prannoy 2119, 21-17 in 42 minutes in the men’s singles category. In the first match, Saina played to
her potential but towards the end, the Hyderabadi shuttler lost the momentum as also the issue. In the second game it was all about the Japanese shuttler. Saina seemed struggling and as a result Yamaguchi wrapped up the issue comnfortably. In the men’s singles match, Prannoy failed to live up to his reputation and surrendered the match in straight games. Prannoy, however, tried to bounce back but the Hong Kong based shuttler proved superior and edged past the Indian player.
Barzagli’s partner at the heart of the Italian defence — and defensive midfielder Daniele De Rossi as the only surviving members of the 2006 victorious squad. Aged 33 and 34 respectively, the international careers of Chiellini and De Rossi are also on their last legs. The world media reacted in shock to the news with several of them calling for the immediate sacking of Italy coach Gian Piero Ventura. German publication Bild carrying an image of Buffon praying to the heavens on its front page with the headline “A World Cup without Italy”. “The news is hardly credible, the quadruple world champions, Italy, will not be at the World Cup next summer,” wrote French publication L’Équipe. “The causes of this cataclysm are numerous, and the head of coach Gian Piero Ventura — who is one of them - should roll in the next few hours.” Calling the result an ‘apocalypse’ Spanish daily Marca criticized Ventura for being unable to give a tactical identity to the Italian team.
ndia’s first World Cup winning captain Kapil Dev this week hailed the current team’s focus on fitness saying skipper Virat Kohli deserves a lot of credit for that and went to the extent of comparing him with Jagmohan Dalmiya. Kapil, who triumphed in the 1983 World Cup, was speaking at the inaugural Jagmohan Dalmiya Memorial lecture and compared Kohli with the late cricket administrator. “Sourav (Ganguly) told me to talk about the current team also and not only on Dalmiya. Virat has the responsibility to take the game forward as Indians look up to you,” Kapil said during his speech with Kohli and the entire Indian team in attendance. “You are a hero and you are like Dalmiya. You can change things. You have done that in the fitness of the current Indian team and that is

something which I can be proud of. The Sri Lankan team was also present along with their president Thilanga Sumathipala. The two teams play a Test here in two days’ time. “I feel very nervous when I talk about cricket. To my mind, Dalmiya is one of the great heroes we have. One (Kohli) is a hero on
the field and the other is off the field. He (Dalmiya) was a hero off the field and what we are enjoying as cricketers today is because of him,” Kapil said of Dalmiya who breathed his last two years back. “In the last 50 years in the world, he was the best administrator in all sports. We always used to look up to England and Australia. He used to say we could get wages like them. “It is important to have money on your side. We cricketers play for maximum 10-15 years. Everybody is not like Sachin (Tendulkar). What he did for the game, he is my hero. “At first, he didn’t make much of an impression on me. As I kept meeting him, he wasn’t the best of speakers but nobody could better understand what is right and what is wrong.” “He was one of those persons who understood where he can nail down on others and make the deal done,” Kapil said.

After submitting his resignation to his party leader T.P. Peethambaran, who forwarded it to Vijayan, Chandy drove away in his official car to his home in Alappuzha. En route, at a few places, angry Youth Congress workers waved black flags and threw eggs at his car.

judge was not pleased because I filed the petition as Minister Chandy. I did it as per the advice of my counsel. Once I get the judgement, I will file an appeal in the Supreme court,” Chandy said.
“My other party colleague is also facing certain charges and whosoever amongst us gets cleared first will become a minister again,” said Chandy. NCP leader Peethambaran said Chandy’s resignation letter had been handed over to Vijayan. Governor P. Sathasivam accepted it. According to informed sources, Vijayan has decided that the slot meant for the NCP in the cabinet

Among the tormentors that Saritha Nair named in her letter, that has been published in the more than 1,000-page report, include Chandy, his then cabinet colleagues, present and former legislators, Lok Sabha members and top leaders. Former state Minister and senior Congress legislator K.C.

NEW DELHI: A decade ago when she forayed into Bollywood, Deepika Padukone never imagined she would be a Sanjay Leela Bhansali heroine. Now, as she prepares for the release of epic drama Padmavati, which clocks her trilogy with the filmmaker, the actress is confident the movie will tide over the controversy, hit the screens and win a “bigger battle” for the industry. “As a woman, I feel proud to be a part of this film, and to tell this story, which needs to be told. And it needs
to be told now,” Deepika, who plays the title role in Padmavati told IANS over phone from Mumbai. “It’s appalling, it’s absolutely appalling. What Deepika have we gotten ourselves into? And where have we reached as a nation? We have regressed,” she said, commenting on the hullabaloo the movie is causing pre-release. —Radhika Bhirani
Directors’ Association (IFTDA) has thanked Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis for providing security cover to Bhansali, who lives and works in Mumbai. “We commend your assurance to keep the law and order situation in control, and that speaks volumes of the efficiency of your staff and the police personnel,” filmmaker Ashoke Pandit, on behalf of the fra-

film is quite straightforward and it is undoubtedly in the second half, with the unusual twist at half time,
that the plot gets intriguing. The first half showcases how they meet to please their parents, but owing to their similar thinking, hit it off well and fall in love. The writing, like the plot, is simple and uncomplicated. It is the
performances by the entire case that keep you riveted to the screen. Save the scene in the second half where Satyendra, a deputy magistrate himself, goes to Aarti’s house with a search warrant and turns the house topsy-turvy, which appears a bit far-fetched, the characters are well-etched and believable. Director Ratnaa Sinha effectively recreates the milieu where clearing Civil Services exams, are given importance and a government job is considered the ultimate achievement. Rajkummar Rao as Satyendra, the simple and well-mannered boy.

Franchisees not to attend SEI trade show BY A STAFF WRITER OSTON, MA – Every year, 7-Eleven, Inc. (SEI) holds a giant convention and trade show, which it says is a “chance to recognize and celebrate our franchisees.” The 7-Eleven Experience reportedly delivers millions to the company’s bottom line by putting hundreds of vendors in front of its franchisee community. But, franchisee leaders say they will not be attending the next event. They’re skipping it to send a clear message that SEI was wrong to cut off communications with its franchisees. The presidents of all 43 Franchise Owners Associations (FOAs), which represent the interests of nearly 7,000 franchised locations in the US. voted unanimously to skip the 7-Eleven Experience during a recent board meeting of the National Coalition of Associations of 7-Eleven Franchisees (NCASEF), an independent organization which speaks for the individual franchisee associations. “Our FOA representatives spoke loud

and clear and the Coalition listened. They voted to urge members to stay away from the 7-Eleven Experience and now the Coalition wants to deliver that message to all,” said Rehan Hashmi, vice chairman of the National Coalition. “The relationship between SEI and its franchisees is no longer evenhanded and that is hurting our members and their livelihood.” According to Hashmi, SEI closed its
regular channels of communication after franchisees in California filed a federal lawsuit against SEI last month. “If SEI truly wants to recognize and celebrate its franchisees as the marketers of the 7-Eleven Experience claim, it shouldn’t cut off communications. Franchise owners have invested their lives in this brand and we want to prosper, but we can’t if our relationship with SEI remains one-sided,” he said.

BY A STAFF WRITER HICAGO, IL -- Indian-American Republican Jitendra Diganvker has announced that he will run for his party’s primaries for the US House of Representatives from District 8 in Illinois. If he wins the primary, he will run up against incumbent Indian American Democratic Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi who was elected last year as the only Indian-American from Illinois in the Lower House. Diganvker, a business owner and community worker, said that he is running for Congress to give a voice to the hard-working middle-class Americans that are too often ignored by career politicians in Washington D.C. “I am not a politician. While most politicians pass laws yet never feel the effects of their actions, I come from real America. I have felt these struggles and know first-hand the consequences of Washington’s action, and inaction, on issues important to middle-class families. I will be the voice of everyday Americans in Washington,” he said in a media release. “Immigrating to our great country, my family and I have experienced many highs and lows. My family came to America to achieve the American dream–to succeed or fail by our hard work and commitment. Today, career politicians have left behind hard-working middle-class Americans. I will be a voice for those very people who have been left behind, because my family is one of them,” says Diganvker. Diganvker suffered a major tragedy in 1999, when he lost his two daughters in a tragic house fire. He claimed that this incident allowed him to see first-hand, how burdensome government regulations and rising health care costs could discourage the entrepreneurial spirit. The US House of Representative has four Indian Americans, all of them Democrats: Ami Bera and Ro Khanna from California, Krishnamoorthi, and Pramila Jayapal from Washington State. All of them will be seeking re-election next year.

Indian’s plea to file for bankruptcy rejected BY A STAFF WRITER N G L EWO O D , C O - - A bankruptcy court in Florida has ruled that Amit Bhalla, a retailer of IPTV streaming devices with unauthorized channels, cannot use a bankruptcy case to shield himself from monetary liability for copyright infringement. In 2016, the US District Court for the Central District of California issued a permanent injunction halting the unlawful distribution of television content from programmers CCTV and TVB on TVpad devices. DISH Network, which has exclusive rights to distribute much of CCTV’s and TVB’s content in the US (including through its Sling TV OTT service), and CICC, an affiliate of CCTV, were also plaintiffs in that underlying lawsuit, which began in 2015. The plaintiffs alleged that the manufacturers and distributors of the TVpad device set up a pirate broadcasting network designed to stream CCTV and TVB channels without authorization. The court ordered manufacturers and distributors of TVpad to pay $55 million in damages to DISH, TVB, CCTV and CICC, and the injunction prohibited retailers from distributing, advertising, marketing or promoting TVpad and comparable devices that deliver CCTV’s or TVB’s copyrighted content. Rather than accept responsibility for his actions, Amit Bhalla chose to file for

Bal Vihar, Hindu Temple of St. Louis sign pact
E
BY A STAFF WRITER T LOUIS, MO -- On November 9, the Center of Indian Cultural Education, also known as Bal Vihar of St. Louis, and the Hindu temple of St. Louis legally entered into a revised lease agreement to use the new community center next to the temple to accelerate a common goal of instilling the Indian culture in future generations. The pact is being hailed as “an excellent arrangement for our children and the entire community for years to come.” In order to support this multi-million dollar community center, Bal Vihar had presented a check of $250,000 to the Hindu Temple on July 31, 2014 towards the construction of the building by 2019-2020 after which the school will give the temple additional $150,000 for the building interiors. In addition, Bal Vihar school families and supporters have also donated over $1 million for the project so far since 2014. The revised contract was signed by Dr. Krishna Reddy, Current Chairman of the Hindu temple of St. Louis Board of Trustees and Dr. Sudhir Brahmbhatt, president of Bal Vihar.

bankruptcy in an attempt to avoid being held financially accountable.
Citing Bhalla’s willful and malicious conduct, the plaintiffs filed a motion for summary judgment in the US Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida. The court granted the motion, and Bhalla must now pay plaintiffs $4.4 million for copyright and trademark infringement. “This ruling sends an important message to retailers who think they can get away with profiting off pirated content: you will eventually be held accountable, and a bankruptcy filing will not protect you,” said Samuel Tsang, vice president, Operations for TVB USA. “Our hope is that, as a result of this ruling, retailers will stop selling content obtained through illegal means and instead serve their customers with legal, reliable content and devices.

The evening raised more than $2 million. Ekal has been raising funds in the US through a series of concerts mainly directed at grass-root level, until now. This gala was an added innovative effort to reach out to the corporate world and high-net-worth individuals and bring mainstream America into its fold.

Dental student dies in NY hit-and-run BY A STAFF WRITER EVITTOWN, NY -- A minor fender-bender turned into a fatal hit-and-run and the police are still whistling in the dark. An 18-year-old college honors student stepped out of her car in a parking lot to exchange papers with the man who collided with her. Instead, he ran over her and fled. Honors dental student Taranjit Parmar dreamed of opening a practice in her hometown. Instead, she was mowed down by a hit-and-run driver just a few blocks from her Levittown home. Her parents and two younger sisters, who are inconsolable, said she was four days away from her 19th birthday. She was driving along Hempstead Turnpike at 5 pm on November 9, approaching a traffic light near Gardiner’s Avenue when a red pickup truck pulled out and collided with Parmar’s Jeep. Part of the accident was caught on gas station surveillance. “They just back up and go on to the next parking lot. They try to exchange information and the red truck guy ran over the girl,” a witness said. Gas station patrons ran towards the victim and within minutes ambulances and first responders were in a frantic effort to save her life.

Navnoor Kang BY A STAFF WRITER EW YORK, NY -- Federal prosecutors say a former official at the pension fund for New York state public employees, accused of accepting bribes that included vacations, cocaine, prostitutes, and a $17,000 wristwatch, has pleaded guilty to related charges. Navnoor Kang Nov. 8 pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit securities fraud and conspiracy to commit hones services wire fraud. An indictment issued last year accused 37-year-old Kang of accepting bribes totaling about $100,000 in exchange for steering millions of dollars in business to two brokerage firms. It says the bribes included travel, a ski trip, and tickets to Broadway shows. Kang was dismissed from the New York State Common Retirement Fund last February. “He has accepted responsibility for his failure to disclose gifts during his employment at the Fund,” said Kang’s lawyer, Tina Glandian. The $184.5-billion Common Retirement Fund is the investment arm of the New York State and Local Employees’ Retirement System and the New York State and Local Police and Fire Retirement System. Kang worked there from January 2014 to February 2016 and was responsible for investing $53 billion in fixed income

Over 60% urban Indian women at risk of diabetes A survey conducted across 14 cities shows 73 percent of urban women are unaware of gestational diabetes and its related health risks IANS, BENGALURU
O
ver 60 percent of urban Indian women do not follow a regular exercise regime, putting them at increased risk of diabetes, shows a new survey. Released on the occasion of World Diabetes Day, the survey conducted by diabetes care company Novo Nordisk India also showed that 73 percent of urban women in the country are unaware of gestational diabetes and its related health risks for the next generation. For the survey conducted in partnership with market research firm Kantar IMRB, over 1,000 women, belonging to the age group of 18-65 years were interviewed to draw insights on the level of awareness on

Donor corneas can be preserved for 11 days: Study NEW YORK: Corneal donor tissue can be safely stored for 11 days without negatively impacting the success of a transplant, a clinical trial has shown. Currently, donor corneas — the eye’s clear outer covering — are generally not used for surgery if they have been preserved for longer than seven days. Expanding the window in which donor tissues can be considered suitable “by even just a few days” should help safeguard quality donor tissue
and access to vision-saving transplantation procedures, the research said. “The current practice of surgeons to use corneas preserved for no longer than seven days is not evidence-based. “Rather that practise is based on opinion, which hopefully will change with this new evidence,” said lead investigator Jonathan Lass, from the Case Western Reserve University. The study, appeared in the journal JAMA Ophthalmology.
Alcohol may lead to insomnia IANS, NEW YORK
I
f you are in your early teenage and have started consuming alcohol, think twice, as according to a study, binge drinking may up risk of insomnia. “The findings indicate that insomnia may be a unique risk marker for alcohol use among young adolescents,” said Naomi Marmorstein, professor at Rutgers University-Camden in the US. The researcher examined the associations between alcohol use and sleep-related issues in seventh and eighth grade students. When sleep problems were found
to be associated with frequency of alcohol use, the researcher reviewed if symptoms of mental health problems or levels of parental monitoring accounted for these associations.
Per person disease burden drops by 36%: Report IANS, NEW DELHI
T
he per person disease burden in India dropped by 36 percent from 1990 to 2016, with Assam, Uttar Pradesh and Chhattisgarh recording the highest rates and Kerala and Goa the lowest, a report said this week. The ‘India State-level Disease Burden Initiative’ report said that of the total disease burden in India, 61 percent was due to communicable, maternal, neonatal and nutritional diseases in 1990, which dropped to 33 percent in 2016. It said there was a corresponding rise in the contribution of non-communicable diseases from 30 percent
Infectious and associated diseases made up the majority of disease burden in 1990.
of the total disease burden in 1990 to 55 percent in 2016, and of injuries from nine percent to 12 percent.
As per the report, there were wide variations between the states. The report said that infectious and asso-
ciated diseases made up the majority of disease burden in most of the states in 1990, but this was less than half in all states in 2016. It said the under-five mortality rate has reduced substantially from 1990 in all states, but there was a four-fold difference in this rate between the highest in Assam and Uttar Pradesh and the lowest in Kerala in 2016. The report is a joint venture between Indian Council of Medical Research, Public Health Foundation of India, and Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, along with experts and stakeholders associated with over 100 Indian institutions.
The study, published in the Journal Addictive Behaviors, examined the development of mental health problems and resilience among at-risk youth. The participants of the study completed questionnaires that asked how long it took for them to fall asleep, what times they usually went to bed on a weekday and on the weekend or vacation night, how often they experienced sleep disturbances and whether they ever fell asleep in class or had trouble staying awake after school. They were also asked the frequency of any alcohol use in the previous four months.
Energy drinks may affect mental health NEW YORK: The energy drinks — high on sugar and caffeine levels — can increase the risk of serious issues affecting mental health, a new reveals. The findings published in the journal Frontiers in Public Health showed that energy drinks are associated with health risks ranging from riskseeking behavior, such as substance misuse and aggression, mental health problems in the form of anxiety and stress, to increased blood pressure, obesity, and kidney damage, among others. —IANS
