The National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) has issued health advisories to support the state in meeting with post-flood public health management challenges when the threat of water-borne, vectorborne and viral hepatitis diseases becomes potent. According to a health ministry statement, NCDC teams are ready for deployment to support the state in preventing an outbreak of diseases. Though rains have eased in Kerala over the last two days, the state struggled to find its feet after the devastating deluge that left over 300 dead and forced over 10 lakh people out of their homes. According to the health ministry statement, since the flood situation at Kodagu district in Karnataka is worsening, one medical team from Bengaluru has been dispatched there to provide necessary support.

Set up India cell to combat fake news: IT minister tells WhatsApp CEO Mumbai: In a bid to curb fake news and rising crime due to the circulation of viral messages on social media platforms such as WhatsApp, Union Information and Technology Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Tuesday met Whatsapp CEO Chris Daniels and suggested measures. Prasad said though WhatsApp has been a boon to citizens of India there are some ‘sinister developments’ that provoke crimes like mob lynching and revenge porn. Terming the meeting ‘productive’, the Union minister said that the widely-used platform needs to ‘find solutions to these challenges which are a downright criminal violation of Indian laws’. The ministry put forth three measures that the platform can take to combat fake news. To begin with, WhatsApp must have a grievance officer in India. Second, there should be proper compliance of Indian laws. Prasad said, “We won’t appreciate a scenario where any problem will have to be answered in America.” He added, “WhatsApp has become an important component of India’s digital storage,” and thus a proper corporate entity must be located in India.

The tweet of the Pakistan PM surfaced shortly after

The Supreme Court was hearing a batch of petitions seeking to bar persons facing serious criminal charges from electoral politics.
Court can’t enter arena of Parliament forbidden for judiciary: Centre to SC New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Tuesday asked the Centre whether the Election Commission could be vested with powers to take back the reserved symbol allotted to a recognised political party for fielding persons with criminal antecedents to contest elections. A five-judge Constitution bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra posed this question to Attorney General K K Venugopal while hearing a batch of petitions raising an important question of law, whether a person facing a criminal case in a heinous crime can be disqualified from contesting Assembly or Parliamentary elections at the stage of filing chargesheet or
framing of charges or only after the conviction. The AG replied that the court could not impose any such condition and it is for the Parliament to provide a ground for disqualification. The court cannot enter the arena of Parliament, which is forbidden for the judiciary, he added. It is the right of the political parties to field candidates on its allotted
symbol and this right cannot be denied by the court. He said vesting any such power on the Election Commission either directly or indirectly would amount to preventing candidates who had done good work in the constituency from contesting the polls merely because the party in power files some case against him on the eve of polls.
2 men get death for raping 8-yr-old girl Sidhu justifies Pak visit for Imran’s in Madhya Pradesh’s Mandsaur oath-taking, cites Vajpayee’s visit to Lahore New Delhi: Punjab Cabinet Minister Navjot Singh Sidhu said today that his visit to Pakistan was not “political” but just on a “warm invitation from a friend”, in a bid to clarify his decision to visit the neighbouring country and hug its Army chief. Slammed by opposition and earning displeasure even from his own chief minister, the cricketer-turnedpolitician said he hugged the Pakistan Army chief in an “emotional” moment after General Qamar Javed Bajwa told him that they were making efforts to open the corridor from India’s Dera Baba Nanak to Sikh shrine of Kartarpur Sahib. “My brief visit to Pakistan
has emerged a big talking point. In this regard, I would definitely like to clear certain things. The visit to Pakistan was not political in any way but just a warm invitation from a friend (Imran Khan). That friend, who went through immense hard work and struggle in life. The one, who reached a position, which is respected and holds capability of changing fate of crores of people,” he said in his opening statement during a press conference here. On his meeting with Gen Bajwa, Sidhu said, “I again want to make it clear that this meeting took place in Islamabad at a time when Gen Bajwa reached the venue of swearing-in ceremony.
Critics say Kerala and the centre have ignored environmental concerns as they push coal mines and hotel resorts.
Kerala flood warnings ignored to speed-up commercial projects: Experts New Delhi: Top environment experts who predicted devastating floods would hit Kerala, on Tuesday said their warnings went unheeded by politicians eager to fast-track money-making projects. Kerala has been battered by the worst floods in almost a century that have killed more than 410 people since the monsoon started in June. Kerala is crisscrossed by 44 rivers and famed for its backwaters, a chain of brackish lagoons and lakes that run parallel to the Arabian Sea
-- creating an environmentally sensitive region with many unique species of plants and animals. Muralee Thummarukudy, a United Nations disaster response expert, and ecologist Madhav Gadgil, warned in reports back as far as 2011 that a megamonsoon was inevitable and that the state was ill-prepared. Critics say Kerala and the centre have ignored environmental concerns as they push power plants and coal mines, hotel resorts and new housing.
Ahead of 2019 polls, Ahmed Patel appointed new treasurer of Congress
New Delhi: Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday initiated key changes in the party set up by appointing Ahmed Patel as its new treasurer in place of Motilal Vora, who was made AICC general secretary administration, a newly-created post.

Bhopal: Two men held guilty for raping an eight-year-old girl in Madhya Pradesh’s Mandsaur have been awarded death sentence by a local court. The court, earlier on Tuesday, held the duo -- Irfan and Asif – for raping the minor in June this year. The verdict comes in less than two months after the crime took place. An eightyear-old was abducted by Irfan and Asif on June 26 when she was standing outside her school in Mandsaur town, waiting for her parents. The men took her to an isolated spot, raped her and
tried to kill her by slitting her throat. The barbaric crime shocked the state and sparked an outrage across the country.

Katrina Kaif might have given glimpse of Bharat Thursday, 22 august, 2019 look and we cannot wait Chasing the China market and to see more! enduring censorship
The German drama The Lives Of Others is likely to find its rightful place among the best films ever made. Among other things, the film shows the power of a humble typewriter. The character Georg Dreyman uses a smuggled typewriter to publish an anonymous article in Der Spiegel about the abnormally high suicide rates in East Germany that the authorities are hiding from the world. The article becomes a major embarrassment for the repressive regime. While this was a film script, information technology— right from the printing press to the internet— has been crucial, argues law professor Anupam Chander, to political change. Sticking his neck out, Chander claims that the internet is “a far more powerful medium for dissent than any history has thus far seen”. It is, therefore, not surprising that the Chinese government is so scared of an unfettered Internet. What should also not surprise us is the willingness of a powerful corporate behemoth like Google to compromise on its stated values in order to gain its slice of the huge online market in China. According to internal documents unearthed by The Intercept, Google is planning to launch a censored version of its search engine for people in China. Dubbed as project Dragonfly, the planned app (which will serve as the search engine) will comply with China’s censorship laws and blacklist keywords deemed politically sensitive by the Communist government. In internal meetings, Google’s chief executive officer has defended the project, saying the company’s plans are still “exploratory” in nature. China is, after all, not just any other authoritarian state. It is the secondlargest economy with the largest middle class in the world. Western companies across a range of sectors—from finance to retail—operate in China. The tech sector’s desire for its share of the China cake is understandable. LinkedIn, for instance, operates in China after having agreed to censor some content. Facebook has flirted with its own version of Dragonfly: It was reported in 2016 that Facebook was planning to use the services of a third party—probably a Chinese company—to control what its users in a specific geography see on their timelines. The project did not move ahead owing to protests by Facebook employees. In Google’s case too, about 1,400 employees have registered their protest in a petition to the company’s senior executives. They are demanding greater transparency about the project so that they can make “ethically informed decisions” about their work.

New Delhi: Bollywood star Katrina Kaif has treated her fans with a picture from Malta, where she is shooting for her much-anticipated film ‘Bharat’. In the picture she shared on social media, the 35-yearold looks fresh as a daisy with her hair styled into glamorous beachy waves. She captioned the photo, “Malta”. While ‘Bharat’ went on floors in July, Katrina began her first schedule last week. Salman Khan had begun shooting for his second schedule of the film in the European island country earlier this month. After Priyanka Chopra walked out of the film, the ‘Zero’ star was roped in to play the lead, opposite Salman. The film also stars Tabu and Disha Patani in pivotal roles. ‘Bharat’ is set to have a character-driven story spanning across many periods and will be shot across exotic locations in Malta and Abu Dhabi, besides Punjab and Delhi in India. Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, the flick is slated to hit theatres on June 5, next year.
Batti Gul Meter Chalu Song Dekhte Dekhte : Shahid Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor starrer Batti Gul Meter Chalu’s second song “Dekhte Dekhte” is out. Composed by Rochak Kohli, the song is a romantic number sung by Atif Aslam with lyrics by Manoj Muntashir.
Shahid Kapoor yearns for Shraddha Kapoor
New Delhi : Shahid Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor starrer Batti Gul Meter Chalu’s second song “Dekhte Dekhte” is out. Composed by Rochak Kohli, the song is a romantic number sung by Atif Aslam with lyrics by Manoj Muntashir. The track is a reworked version of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s qawwali of the same name. The video released by the makers features Shahid Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor, where the former is seen pining for Shraddha and reminiscing about their times together. The track is a more modern take on Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s composition, and it pales in comparison with the original, as is the case with most recreated tracks or remixes. However, Atif’s vocals elevate the song to a certain degree. Batti Gul Meter Chalu highlights the issues of electricity theft in rural
India. “I feel proud to be a part of this film. One would think it (electricity) is a small issue but it is not for others. As actors, if we can represent those issues, it would be good as we have the opportunity to say something nice otherwise we will lose the chance. We are not making a documentary film as it will never reach anywhere. So you have to make it entertaining

movie. She wrote, “The period is done beautifully, and despite the predictable sports film tropes– underdogs coming up top, conflicts being resolved, last minute fortune reversals—the younger players keep up the tempo, with debutant Sunny Kaushal doing a stand-out job. It’s not as if Akshay isn’t fully there. He immerses himself in his role, playing the sad sack when things go awry, fooling his wife for some monetary handouts, falling about drunkenly after his alcoholic bouts, always redeeming himself by keeping his love of the sport squarely in the centre.

Pankaj Berry, playing Tathacharya’s role, commented on the upcoming track saying, “I enjoy working with the cast of Tenali Rama since we get along well together. In the upcoming episodes, my character will be seen getting caught in a web spun by his own words.
Mumbai: Q: Did you watch Aladdin as a kid? Avneet: Yes, I remember seeing a movie based on Aladdin as a kid but never saw any series. I enjoyed watching Aladdin’s adventures with Jasmine in the movie. Q: How do you feel playing the character of Yasmine, who is one of the most beautiful characters on the screen? Avneet: I love Yasmine’s character. She is the pretty princess of Baghdad and at the same time she is a strong, confident and independent individual who wants to do good for her people. I believe she is beautiful inside out. Q: Are there any qualities you and Yasmin have in common? Avneet: I enjoy dressing up just like Yasmine. Her bond with her father is beautiful, just like I do with my real-life dad. Q: How different it is to work on a fantasy show like Aladdin than the other shows you have done in the past? Avneet: In the past, I have worked on real locations but on Aladdin due to the high-quality graphics we mostly shoot on chroma to perfect the vfx effects. It seems easy, but it is tough to shoot as we must get our actions bang on. Q: How did you prepare for the show? Avneet: I attended many workshops to get into the skin of the character.

Former Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt opens up on dream of playing football
SPORTS ROUNDUP
Gautam Gambhir to join BJP and contest Delhi general elections in 2019?
BCCI registers new constitution with Tamil Nadu Registrar of Societies
Johannesburg: Former Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt, who recently joined A-League Club Central Coast Mariners to pursue his dream of playing football, has said that instead of being treated as world’s fastest man, he would like to be known as a footballer. The 31-year-old, who had confirmed in February that he is all set to switch from track to field, further asserted that he would prove all his critics wrong by performing well on the football ground. “I don’t want to be treated as the world’s fastest man, I want to be treated as a footballer because that’s what I want to be,” goal. com quoted Bolt, as saying. “People will say a lot of things about me, but
I’ll prove them wrong,” he added. Reflecting on his preparation for the game, Bolt said that he is working hard to improve, adding that as long as he manages to maintain his body fitness nothing is impossible to achieve for him. “I’m not setting myself any targets . I’m just going to put in the work. I don’t know what to expect so I’m just here to push myself, learn as much as possible. For me it’s a blank slate. I’m here to learn and get better, that’s my focus. As long as you get fit in football it’s relatively easy. That’s how I look at it, I don’t know yet,” he said. Earlier, the sprinter had also joined German football club Borussia Dortmund in his build-up to give football a serious try.
New Delhi: The Board of Control for Cricket in India on Tuesday registered its new constitution with the Registrar of Societies of Tamil Nadu in Chennai, paving the way for the Committee of Administrators (CoA) to chalk out a roadmap for conducting elections. The new constitution is in line with the reforms listed by the Supreme Court-appointed Justice Lodha Committee. “Pursuant to the order of the Honorable Supreme Court of India dated 9th August 2018, The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), through its CEO Mr. Rahul Johri, on Tuesday registered its new constitution as approved and directed by the Honorable Supreme Court with the Registrar
of Societies of Tamil Nadu at Chennai,” the BCCI stated in a release. The CoA comprise chairman Vinod Rai and Diana Edulji. “We thank the Honorable Supreme Court for their directions and are pleased to start the process today by the submission of the new constitution of the BCCI with the Tamil Nadu Registrar of Societies at Chennai. We are committed to implement the Supreme Court directive in its entirety,” they said in the release. The CoA further added that the state associations have to conform to the judgment of the Supreme Court and report compliance within 30 days. “Now that constitution has been notified, we will be able to put a roadmap in place for the elections very soon,” Rai told news agancy.
New Delhi: With politics not a new avenue for cricketers to venture into after retirement, Indian batsman Gautam Gambhir could contest in the next Delhi general elections from a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), if reports are anything to go by. With Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) ruling the state, BJP is keen to restore their image and power in the capital city and the veteran cricketer would be the ideal candidate to help them achieve their goals according to a report by Dainik Jagran. Even in the past, many cricketers have switched to politics after hanging up their boots. The likes of Mohammad Azharuddin, Navjot Singh Sidhu, Mohammad Kaif, Praveen Kumar, Vinod Kambli and Mansoor
Ali Khan Pataudi are few popular names who have made the transition. Gambhir last made his appearance for the national team in 2016, when India hosted England in a Test series. His last appearance in limited-overs cricket dates back to 2012 and since then many new faces have taken over his place. However, the southpaw still remains one of the most reputable batsmen having scored 4,154 in 58 Tests and 5,238 runs in 147 ODIs. Gambhir also played a key role in India’s ICC T20 World Cup 2007 and ICC World Cup 2011 triumphs. The two-time Indian Premier League (IPL) winning captain had earlier stepped down as captain of the Delhi Daredevils in the latest edition.
India vs England: Jasprit Bumrah stars as India close to win Trent Bridge Test Nottingham : When India took out Jos Buttler, it seemed India wouldn’t have to wait for one more day to savour a memorable Test triumph. But Adil Rashid proved to be a killjoy. At stumps, still trailing by 209 runs, England were 311/9. Rashid was in no mood to give up. He had scored 30 after sticking around for 55 balls. His partner was England’s No.11 James Anderson, who took body blows and swayed away from bouncers during his 16-ball stay at the crease. And when Rashid defended the final ball of the day from the middle of the bat,
the Test was stretched to the fifth day. However, India won’t mind one more day at Trent Bridge, a place Kohli and his men would fondly remember as the arena where they effected a stunning turnaround. India’s achievement is best reflected by England’s decision at the toss. They put India in to bat, and as one walked around the periphery of the stadium, a group of English fans, clutching their beer cans, were wondering aloud about the possibility of England batting by evening. The result of the Test seemed like a foregone conclusion. On the eve of the
Business
game, the press conferences revolved around Ben Stokes’s return to the team. It was as if the win was taken for granted. This is not to say that England were complacent, but this was the general mood. Their decision at the toss didn’t hint at complacency but a confidence, understandable as they had just routed India in the previous Test. But there was one little thing that was overlooked: their own batting. England have now collapsed, losing all 10 wickets in a session three times recently. Under pressure, they can crack and the Indian camp knew it.
Jasprit Bumrah breaks stubborn Jos Buttler-Ben Stokes resistance; his five-wicket haul puts India within a wicket of halving the deficit in the series.

All 36 planes are to be 100% manufactured in France, and exported from France to India-Anil
Ambani clarifies that not a single component worth a single rupee is to be manufactured byReliance for these 36 Rafale jets.

per cent growth rate in 2006-07 under the then PM Manmohan Singh, the highest since liberalisation of the economy in 1991. This has result in a heated debated between Congress and BJP as the report comes before the Lok Sabha elections next year. The Centre has now removed the report from the webpage on which it was first published, saying that it “should not be quoted anywhere” as it is only a draft report.

AROUND THE WORLD IN 70 DAYS: LAND ROVER GOES ALL THE WAY
Moscow: Land Rover completed its circumnavigation of the world today in Moscow. Led by travel blogger Sergey Dolya, the unforgettable trip lasted 70 days taking in 22 countries on six continents. In total the crews passed through 100 cities, travelling 70 000km across the globe in a convoy led by Land Rover Discovery SUVs. The route met the international standards of a complete circumnavigation: it started and ended in the same place and passed two antipodes – geographic points on exactly opposite sides of the globe. Starting in Moscow, the expedition drove across Russia.

Ankara : Iran urged Europe on Monday to speed up efforts to salvage a 2015 nuclear deal between Tehran and major powers that U.S. President Donald Trump abandoned in May, saying French oil group Total has formally pulled out a major gas project. Efforts by the remaining signatories – EU members Britain, France and Germany plus China and Russia – to avoid the agreement’s collapse are struggling as Washington has said any firms dealing with Teheran will be barred from doing business in the United States. “Europeans and other signatories of the deal have been trying to save the deal … but the process has been slow. It should be accelerated,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qasemi said. “Iran relies mainly on its own capabilities to overcome America’s new sanctions,” he told a news conference broadcast on state TV.

Beijing : Taiwan lost another ally to Beijing on Tuesday when diplomatic ties with El Salvador were severed, the third country to swap allegiances from the self-ruled island to China this year. Taiwan now has formal relations with just 17 countries worldwide, many of them smaller, less developed nations in Central America and the Pacific like Belize and Nauru. “We are not willing to continue with the money competition with China,” Taiwan Foreign Minister Joseph Wu said at a press conference. He said El Salvador had been continuously asking for “massive funding support” since last year for a port development, but Taiwan was unable to assist with the
“unsuitable project” after assessment. “Pressure from China would only make Taiwan more determined to continue our path of democracy and freedom,” he said. “China’s rude and unreasonable behaviour will certainly have negative impact to cross-strait relations. This is also not how a responsible country should behave.” Speaking in Beijing, the Chinese government’s top diplomat State Councillor Wang Yi said El Salvador had made the right decision. “I’m confident that the people of El Salvador will feel the warmth and friendship of the Chinese people and derive tangible benefits from its cooperation with China,” Wang said.

Vatican City : Pope Francis, facing sexual abuse crises in several countries, wrote an unprecedented letter to all Catholics on Monday, asking each one of them to help root out “this culture of death” and vowing there would be no more cover-ups. In a highly personal letter addressed to “the people of God,” Church language for all members, the pope appeared to be launching an appeal for all Catholics to face the crisis together and not let it tear the Church apart. The Catholic Church in the United States, Chile, Australia, and Ireland – where the pope is making a two-day visit this weekend – are reeling from crises involving sexual abuse of minors. Numerous surveys have pointed to plummeting confidence in the Church in those countries and elsewhere. In his letter, the pope referred to the suffering endured by minors due to sexual abuse at the hands of a “significant number of clerics and consecrated persons.

Ahmedabad: Defending the contentious issue of doing away with the mandatory social impact assessment and consent clauses of the 2013 Central land acquisition law in its amended state land law, the BJP government in Gujarat on Monday told the High Court that there was no need for conducting the social impact assessment for the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet train project since it is a “linear project” and the amount of land to be acquired for it is very less. In an affidavit filed by Deputy Secretary of state Revenue Department, Keshavlal Dhulabhai Upadhyay, the government informed the court that as per section 10A of
the state’s amended law for acquiring land, “additional benefits” — a lump sum amount equal to 50 per cent of the amount of compensation determined — will be given to the land losers in terms of rehabilitation and resettlement cost “The Amendment Act of 2016 is intra-vires the provisions of the Constitution and very much in sync with the (Central) Act of 2013. A Bill relating to the said Amendment Act of 2016 came to be introduced in the State Legislature with the specific objectives as are set out in the Statement of Objects and Reasons… Section 31A of the Amendment Act of 2016 categorically provides that it shall be competent for the
State Government to pay, whenever the land is to be acquired in case of projects which are linear in nature as referred to in proviso to sub section (iv) of Section 10 of the Act of 2013 , as rehabilitation and resettlement cost, lump sum equal to fifty per cent of the amount of compensation as determined under section 27, to the affected families”. The state government’s response comes on a set of petitions filed by farmers, mostly from south Gujarat, challenging the land acquisition for the Bullet Train project on various ground, including validity of section 10A with section 2(1) of Gujarat Amendment Act, 2016.
Singapore : Terrorism remains a threat in Myanmar’s Rakhine State and could have “grave consequences” for the region, the Southeast Asian country’s leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, said on Tuesday. In a lecture in Singapore, Suu Kyi did not mention by name the Rohingya Muslims, more than 700,000 of whom who have fled the north of Rakhine state since an army crackdown that began a year ago after attacks on security posts by Rohingya insurgents. The Aug. 25 attacks were launched by the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA), which Myanmar says is a terrorist group. “The danger of terrorist activities, which was the initial cause of events leading to the humanitarian crisis in Rakhine remains real and present today,” she said “Unless this security challenge is addressed the risk of inter-communal violence will remain. It is a threat that could have grave consequences, not just for Myanmar but also for other countries in our region and beyond.” The Nobel peace prize laureate, once seen as the face of Myanmar’s struggle for democracy, has been criticised for her failure to speak out against the military crackdown, which the United Nations has called “ethnic cleansing”. Buddhist-majority Myanmar and Bangladesh reached an agreement late last year on the repatriation of Rohingya, most of whom are stateless and subjected to restrictions in Myanmar. Suu Kyi said spaces have been mapped out for the resettlement of people who fled to Bangladesh, where they live in refugee camps. However, she said it was difficult to set a time frame for their return as the two countries had to work together to agree on the process, suggesting the onus was on Dhaka for the process to get started. “The returnees have to be sent back by Bangladesh.
