Egypt court hands Mursi death sentence in blow to Muslim Brotherhood Agency | Cairo
An Egyptian court sentenced deposed President Mohamed Mursi to death on Tuesday over a mass jail break during the country’s 2011 uprising and issued sweeping punishments against the leadership of Egypt’s oldest Islamic group. The general guide of the Muslim Brotherhood, Mohamed Badie, and four other Brotherhood leaders were also handed the death penalty. More than 90 others, including influential cleric Youssef al-Qaradawi, were sentenced to death in absentia. The Brotherhood described the rulings as “null and void” and called for a popular uprising on Friday. The sentences were part of a crackdown launched after an army takeover stripped Mursi of power in 2013 following mass protests against his rule. Since his overthrow, Egyptian

ISRO to test re-usable satellite launch vehicle in September Agency | New Delhi
A plane will be flown into outer space at five times the speed of sound, deliver the payload and return to land like an aircraft. In a major technology demonstration ultimately aimed at cutting down the cost of satellite launches to one-tenth the present rates, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) will flight test an indigenously developed re-usable satellite launch vehicle for the first time this Septem-
ber. Under the project, a plane will be flown into outer space at five times the speed of sound, deliver the payload and then land back like an aircraft. At present, the various stages in a satellite launch vehicle fall off in succession during launch and cannot be reused, making such launches expensive. “The launch vehicle will be landing for the Minister of State for Department of Space Jitendra Singh launching first time in the ocean and the ultimate attempt Andriod-based application ‘Sakaar’ in New Delhi on Monday. is to make it land at an ISRO chairman A.S. a press conference on said wind tunnel modairstrip at Sriharikota,” Kiran Kumar said at Monday. Mr. Kumar elling and other tests

Minister of State for Department of Space Jitendra Singh said 11 satellites were launched in the last one year and by next year the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System would be operationalised. It will be only the third such system in the world. Mr. Singh launched an Android-based application ‘Sakaar’, an “augmented reality applica-
tion” intended to give a real world environment to visualise ISRO projects. It provides in real time, three-dimensional models of Mars Missions, various satellites, launch vehicles and other projects of ISRO. “We will be distributing this in schools and other institutes for free so that students can get a better understanding of our space working,” Mr. Singh said. There are currently no reusable launch vehicles in operation anywhere.

More than an indiscretion Regardless of whether External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj was only acting on ‘humanitarian grounds’ while recommending the grant of a temporary travel document to Lalit Kumar Modi, the former commissioner of the Indian Premier League now living in exile in Britain, her action will be seen as helping a man wilfully evading investigation in India. The government and the ruling BJP are backing Ms. Swaraj, and have accepted her explanation that she had done nothing wrong and there was no big moral issue involved. She claims she had merely said the Government of India had no objection if Britain chose to allow Mr. Modi to travel to Portugal to sign consent papers for his wife’s surgery for cancer. However, there are doubts whether there was a requirement for such consent from her husband at all. Further, there appears to be a conscious change in the government’s policy towards Mr. Modi, who is wanted by the Enforcement Directorate for suspected involvement in violations of the Foreign Exchange Management Act. The previous UPA government revoked his passport in 2011 on the ground that he was avoiding personal appearance before the authorities and that he had contravened FEMA provisions to the tune of hundreds of crores of rupees and parked money outside India. The cancellation of his passport was a means to bring Mr. Modi, who has been living in London since 2010, back to India. Ms. Swaraj’s communication to the British government, therefore, constituted an unwarranted change of policy and an unacceptable concession to one who has shown no inclination to join the investigation on the specious claim that he faces a threat to his personal safety in India. There is another dimension to this issue: the clear presence of a conflict of interest in Ms. Swaraj dealing with Mr. Lalit Modi. Her daughter was counsel for the former IPL chief in a case that led to the Delhi High Court, in August 2014, quashing the order revoking his passport. This verdict has not been challenged by the present government. A British MP interceded on his behalf with the immigration authorities there, citing Ms. Swaraj’s name. All this gives the impression that the Narendra Modi government, and not merely Ms. Swaraj, has been soft on Mr. Lalit Modi. It is not surprising, therefore, that the party and government are solidly behind her. However, Opposition criticism is getting strident, and questions are being raised whether the Prime Minister is condoning what appears to be a case of a senior Minister using her discretionary power in favour of a friend. The government cannot remain silent and wait for the storm to pass, but must act to remedy the situation. It also ought to spell out how it intends to pursue the ongoing investigations against Mr. Modi.

DAY Kriti Sanon watches ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’ at Maratha Mandir
Agency | Mumbai
Last week, young actress Kriti Sanon watched her all time favourite film Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge at Maratha Mandir. Starring Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, this is the only theatre in the country which continues to screen t h e blockbuster. Kriti went incognito to Maratha Mandir to watch the
film. The actress, who comes from Delhi, is a huge fan of the film and has seen it a several number of times. Yet, she was very keen to watch the film on the big screen and wanted to experience it all over again. And this was a different experience for her altogether! The irony is that Kriti will be working with the two actors in her upcoming film Dilwale, directed by Rohit Shetty. The film starring SRK, Kajol, Varun Dhawan and Kriti, has gone on floors. Kriti felt purely nostalgic when she saw the film again on the big screen and all the memories came rushing back to her.
Just a day after Kangana Ranaut accepted that she has refused to sign Salman Khan starrer ‘Sultan’ due to schedule issues, the news reports suggest that Parineeti Chopra has been signed for the role. Seems like Kangana’s loss has turned out be Parineeti’s gain. However, there is no confirmation from the side of the makers or the actress but if the reports are true, the Ish-

FIR filed against Rajinikanth’s wife in forgery case
against its owners.
Agency | Bengaluru The Bengaluru police have filed an FIR against Tamil superstar Rajinikanth’s wife Latha in an alleged case of forgery and using fake documents. According to reports, a private complaint was filed against Latha and three others for double selling the rights of the film Kochadaiiyaan in November 2014. The movie was directed by Rajinikanth’s daughter Soundarya R. The case
was registered on the directions of a magistrate’s court after a complaint was filed by AdBureau Advertising of Chennai. The FIR was registered under provisions of the Indian Penal Code related to cheating, forgery and making false statement as part of evidence. According to AdBureau, the superstar’s wife, who was a guarantor for the film, sold the distribution rights of Kochadaiiyaa to another firm in Tamil Nadu, while the pri-
vate firm was promised a distribution agreement in return for their funding of Rs 10 crore. Latha also allegedly forged a letterhead of the Welfare Association of India and the Press Club to acquire a gag order on the media. Latha denied the charges of declaration of false statements, use of false evidence and cheating and reportedly slapped a legal notice on the firm and its MD Abhirchand Nahar after the news broke.

After working with Shraddha Kapoor and Varun Dhawan in the upcoming dance drama “ABCD2″, actor-director Prabhudheva says he is bowled over by the young actors’ talent and hard work.

I am 29 and have a very simple aim today. I want to be an honourable family man. I have been thinking a lot about settling down.” Deepika
and Ranveer have never admitted to their relationship but their off screen appearances bear enough proof to convey about their love affair. Be it Ranveer going on a shopping trip with Deepika’s family or him flying down to Bengaluru from Malaysia, just to celebrate the birthday of Deepika’s father – the rumoured couple has time and again proved that the ‘rumoured’ tag needs to be shed off. Happy endings! We surely can’t wait for the big day.
ing anonymity Dutt was released from the Yerawada jail in Pune on December 24, 2014 as he wanted to bring in the New Year with his family. He had sought for an extension to his furlough which was later denied by prison authorities. But in cases of parole the circumstances are stricter as compared to furlough and the prisoner has to prove that someone in his family is unwell and depends on the prisoner for his well-being. The report of the hospital and the police is sought by the commissioner before parole is granted, said police sources. Actor has been serving five year sen-
tence in Yerawada central prison in Pune for illegal possession and destruction of an AK-56 rifle in 1993 serial blasts case. Dutt is serving 42 months of his sentence that started in May 2013. However, his sentence so far has been dotted with repeated furlough and parole: In October 2013, Dutt was granted furlough. This was extended by 14 days. Then, in December 2013, he was granted parole for 30 days, which again was extended twice. The actor’s sister had stood as guarantor and deposited Rs15,000 as surety.

‘Mobile subscriptions in India likely to touch 1.4 billion by 2020’
Agency | Mumbai The number of mobile subscriptions in the country is expected to increase to 1.4 billion by 2020, against 970 million in 2014, driven by rise in affordable devices and services, according to a report by telecom equipment maker Ericsson. The India appendix of the Ericsson Mobility Report, released on Tuesday, shows key trends and forecasts on mobile traffic, subscriptions, consumer behaviour and
technology uptake in the country. GSM/EDGE subscriber base is expected to peak in 2015 and likely to decline thereafter as subscribers migrate to 3G services, the report said. LTE subscriptions are likely to top 230 million, forming around 17% of the total subscription base by 2020, it said. The WCDMA/HSPA subscriptions are anticipated to grow from over 120 million in 2014 to around 620 million by 2020, and will account for 45% of the total subscription base by that time, it added. GSM/EDGE technology has the widest reach in India with 95% population coverage while WCDMA/ HSPA is expected to cover approximately 90% by the end of 2020.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 listing sparks rumours of June 16 launch
Agency | New Delhi TThe rumoured Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 smartphone has been leaked again. In a listing on China’s Oppomart, an e-commerce website selling Chinese smartphones, the Redmi Note 2 will run on the Snapdragon 615 SoC and sports a 5.7 inch 1080p display and 13MP rear camera. Interestingly, the image that Oppomart has used for the listing has till now been thought to be of another rumoured Xiaomi device, the upcoming flag-
ship Xiaomi Mi5. Xiaomi has already announced an upcoming event in Beijing on June 16, during which the company is expected to launch its next flagship smartphone. Now, there are one of two possibilities — either the Xiaomi Mi5 will be launched alongside the Redmi Note 2, or the Redmi Note 2 alone will be launched. The other option obviously is that Oppomart’s listing is inaccurate and the image is actually that of the Xiaomi Mi5.
Agency | Fatullah Virat Kohli wiped off the sweat from his forehead, adjusted the peak of his cap and settled down comfortably in his chair to speak. Forget the sixfive combination. Ignore even the much-hyped aggressive intent. The biggest tangible difference between Virat Kohli the captain and MS Dhoni the leader is how they address press conferences. The contrast almost jumped out on you
on Sunday when after a hard day’s work Kohli reflected on the Test match and everything else about it. He spoke at length, and he spoke well. At that moment, Kohli looked like he belong there, the future captain many had envisaged when he gave that quote after chairing Sachin Tendulkar on his shoulder at the Wankhede on April 2, 2011. “He has carried the burden of the nation for 21 years; It was time we carried him,” Kohli had said. In his
place, MS Dhoni —who had, in fact, led India to the World Cup title — would have spewed some inane cliche like: “At the end of the day, the point is…” before losing you completely. Kohli was at his eloquent best at Fatullah on Sunday evening. None more so perhaps than when he began to explain Dhoni’s haunting absence from the dressing room. Somewhere in his response you could feel for him, like you had lost someone close to you too.

Post World Cup debacle, ‘scary’ England impress Kiwi coach Hesson Agency | London
New Zealand coach Mike Hesson believes his side are now facing a far more ‘scary’ England team compared to the one the Blackcaps thrashed at the World Cup. In February, New Zealand hammered England by eight wickets in Wellington en route to a World Cup final which they lost to co-hosts Australia. The Blackcaps skittled out England for just 123 on that occasion, with Tim Southee taking a New Zealand one-day international record seven for 33. New Zealand then chased down their meagre target in a mere 12.2 overs, with skipper Brendon McCullum blasting 77 in 25 balls. But Hesson’s men haven’t had things all their own way during their ongoing five-match oneday international series in England. The first ODI at Edgbaston saw England make 408 for nine in a 210-run win -- both national records. New

Zealand levelled the series with a 13-run Duckworth/Lewis success at The Oval but only after England, initially chasing 399 for victory, had been 345 for seven and needing 54 more runs from 37 balls when rain stopped play. The Blackcaps, however, went 2-1 up at the Rose Bowl in Southampton on Sunday after restricting England to 302 all out. But they still needed a New Zealand record third-wicket stand of 206 between Kane Williamson (118) and Ross Taylor (110) to take them close to completing a three-wicket win which
was only sealed with an over to spare. England’s team at the Rose Bowl contained just four survivors from their Wellington humiliation in skipper Eoin Morgan, batsman Joe Root, wicket-keeper Jos Buttler, and fast bowler Steven Finn. Improving England’s standing in 50over cricket is a key aim for new director of cricket Andrew Strauss and now the likes of opener Alex Hales, all-rounder Ben Stokes, leg-spinner Adil Rashid, and left-arm paceman David Willey are being given a chance to show what they can do at international level.
Bolivia scored three first half goals and then withstood heavy second half pressure to overcome Ecuador 3-2 on Monday in the highest scoring match of the Copa America so far. Ecuador had not lost to Bolivia in the tournament since 1949 but they were soon trailing as Bolivia launched an opening blitz in the Group A match. Bolivian captain Ronald Raldes got the first in five minutes when he stooped to head home a corner kick from Martin Smedberg-Dalence, who doubled the lead 13 minutes later when he side-footed home from 25 yards out. Ecuador should have pulled a goal back from the penalty spot after 38 minutes but Enner Valencia had his kick saved at the second attempt after the referee

Admissions to engineering colleges this year could turn out to be a dream neatly machined for students. Merit marks are likely to be lower this year compared to the previous year and that means students with low percentages can still make it to institutes of their choice. The scenario — however encouraging for students — has spurred anxiety in self-financed colleges. The provisional list is being viewed as a merit bomb by the self-financed colleges because the institutes are finding it tough to get enough students to fill seats. The first provisional merit list has revealed that 7,430
fewer students have qualified compared to the previous year. “This year only 55,317 students have qualified for admission in engineering colleges against 62,747 in 2014,” said an official of the Admission Committee for Professional Courses (ACPC). “So even if all students who have qualified take admission, 16,482 seats will remain vacant.” The provisional merit list has been based on the calculation of the board and JEE examinations results. The board has accorded 60% weightage to the percentile obtained in the board exam and 40% weightage to the percentile obtained in JEE.

During the investigation, police found that the passport which the Kadi based woman was carrying in the name of Jenitha was procured on the basis of bogus documents from Thane in Maharashtra. “Arun and that woman had a deal worth Rs 15 lakh with Thane based agent Sujal Shah,” said Patel.

Congress party has threatened to stage a state-wide protest against commercialization of education in Gujarat. President of Gujarat Pradesh Congress Committee, Bharatsinh Solanki, said on Monday, “Report of the National University Of Educational Planning And Administration very specifically states that in the area of primary education Gujarat ranks 16th in the country. So far as secondary education is concerned Gujarat is down to the 23rd position. This speaks volumes about the level of education in
Gujarat and the lack of commitment of the state government towards this issue.” “Recently the chief minister herself admitted that education prevails on pamphlets. This admission proves the pessimistic attitude of the Gujarat government towards primary, secondary, higher secondary, higher and technical education. Gujarat is lagging behind on this rather critical frontier in comparison to other states of India,” he said.
