"Kiran Bedi Will Take Delhi to New Heights" Says PM New Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived by chopper at a densely populated east Delhi locality on Saturday evening to lead the BJP's charge against the Aam Aadmi Party for the Delhi elections a week away. He praised Kiran Bedi, his choice for presumptive Delhi chief minister, who had been conspicuously missing from many of the party's campaign posters and speeches in the last few days. "Kiran Bedi has been part of Delhi's history, she knows every by-lane of the city," said the PM, adding that the former IPS officer will "take Delhi to new heights".

Jayanthi's revelations vidicate BJP stand: Naidu
New Delhi On a day that India took a "giant leap" in its deterrence capability with the successful test launch of the canister-mounted Agni missile, the driving force behind the development of the weapon platform, DRDO chief Avinash Chander, marked his last day at the helm of the agency which he said he was leaving a satisfied man. Chander, often referred to as the 'Agni Man' for his work towards the development of the successful missile platform, congratulated the entire DRDO community for the tremendous effort put in by them for making the country self-reliant in the area of long-range missile systems. It was an emotional day for
Thiruvananthapuram Union Minister and senior BJP leader Venkaiah Naidu today termed as 'stunning' the revelations of former Congress Minister Jayanthi Natarajan, holding that they vindicated his party's charge that an extraconstitutional authority functioned under the UPA regime.

"And after four days of the incident, the ordinance was put in the dustbin," the Union Urban Development Minister said.

Bangladesh unrest: Power supply cut to exPM Khaleda Zia’s house, top BNP leader held
Egyptian court bans Hamas' armed wing, lists as terrorist organisation Michael Georgy CAIRO (Reuters) - An Egyptian court on Saturday banned the armed wing of the Palestinian group Hamas and listed it as a terrorist organisation. The ruling came days after the country faced some of the bloodiest attacks on security forces in years. Hamas is an offshoot of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood which the authorities have also declared a terrorist group and have repressed
corruption and promised in- situ development of slums.
Bangladesh Bangladesh authorities on Saturday cut the power supply to opposition leader K h a l e d a Z i a ’s h o m e after she called a 72hour nationwide strike beginning Sunday which coincides with the school exams of over 1.5 million students. “There has been no electricity since 2.37 a.m. local time (2.07
a.m. IST)... they have cut the line,” an aide of the ex-premier said at her house-cum-office where Ms. Zia has been staying constantly since January 4, 2015 to spearhead the campaign against her arch rival Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s government. Ms. Zia’s Bangladesh Nationalist Party alleged that the staterun Dhaka Electric Supply Company disconnected the power lines to her upmarket Gulshan office early Saturday morning in an apparent bid to force h e r t o c a l l o ff t h e scheduled strike. The BNP’s call for a 72-
hour nationwide antigovernment strike coincides with the countrywide Secondary School Certificate exams where over 1.5 million children will appear, forcing parents to stage a protest o u t s i d e M s .

Witnesses and TV footage showed a huge number of grimfaced school children accompanied by their guardians staging a human chain protest carrying placards on the street in front of M s .

Cherished every moment of my service in DRDO: Chander
Chander, whose contract was terminated by the government earlier this month, as he saw the nuclear capable intercontinental ballistic missile, which was about 17-m-long and weighed over 50 tonnes, majestically escape the confines of its canister. "I cherished every moment of my service in DRDO and I thank you all for the relentless support given to me all through. I am
leaving with the great satisfaction of equipping the country with such advanced missiles. I wish the entire DRDO community a great future," he said on Wheeler's Island off the Odisha coast, where the test was conducted. Official sources said that a farewell was organised for him by DRDO and he appeared "happy, jubilant and emotional, with a sense of achievement".
Meanwhile, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, who had recommended the termination of Chander's contract, too, congratulated DRDO upon the successful launch today. "DRDO has its successes also. No one has questioned DRDO's capabilities and successes. But I think one should not step back from doing more. There should be more success, more activity," Parrikar told reporters here. The government had on January 13 removed Chander with effect from today, 15 months before his contract was to end. Parrikar had later said that he wanted to have a younger person at the helm of DRDO.Defence Secretary R K Mathur was yesterday given additional charge of DRDO.

Nuclear deal no cause for celebration Any understanding between Narendra Modi and Barack Obama on circumventing the Indian nuclear liability law to protect American reactor suppliers should be a matter of concern At their recent meeting, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Barack Obama discussed methods of circumventing the Indian nuclear liability law to protect American reactor suppliers from the consequences of accidents caused by design defects. Although public details are scarce, if they have indeed reached an understanding on the issue, then this is not a cause for celebration; it should be a matter of deep concern. The importance of supplier liability is illustrated by the Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011. When the reactors were hit by the tsunami that year, the weakness of the General Electric (GE) Mark I design was cruelly exposed. The reactors’ inadequate containment was unable to prevent the spread of radioactivity when the cooling systems failed and pressure built up inside the reactors. Although this design defect was first noted about 40 years ago, just as the Fukushima reactors were commissioned, the industry resisted regulatory changes that could have ameliorated the disaster. The Japan Center for Economic Research estimated that the cost of cleanup at Fukushima may reach $200 billion. A 2013 expert study “Accounting for long-term doses in worldwide health effects of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident” published in the journal Energy and Environmental Science estimated that the disaster may lead to about a thousand excess deaths due to cancer. However, it is unlikely that GE will ever be held accountable for its poor design choice. Under Japanese law, the supplier is indemnified from liability for an accident. This is the framework of impunity under which nuclear suppliers like to operate. The most baffling feature of the current agreement is that it holds no tangible benefits for India. The United States has offered to sell two reactor designs — both of which are expensive and untested. The Westinghouse AP1000, which has been chosen for Mithi Virdi (Gujarat) is not in commercial operation anywhere and has encountered difficulties wherever it is being built. At Plant Vogtle, in the U.S. state of Georgia, Westinghouse and its partner Georgia Power have sued each other for a billion dollars over cost increases and delays. Even in China, the AP1000 has been delayed by about two years because of problems with reactor coolant pumps. Even less can be said for GE’s Economic Simplified Boiling Water Reactor (ESBWR), selected for Kovvada (Andhra Pradesh). After years of questions about ESBWR’s steam dryer, the design obtained regulatory approval from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission — the first step before construction can commence — only in September 2014. There are no firm orders for the ESBWR. The Vogtle plants were initially estimated to cost about $7 billion apiece. Even accounting for lower construction costs in India we showed — in a detailed study “Cost of Electricity from the Jaitapur Nuclear Power Plant” published

Bigg Boss Halla Bol: 5 Reasons why 'Fitoor' first film to be shot Gautam Gulati might be the winner
in Kashmir after floods
Film: Hawaizaada
Ahmedabad
'Fitoor' shooting started in the famous Nishat Garden on the banks of the Dal Lake in summer capital Srinagar as Katrina arrived at the sets wearing a burqa in typical Kashmiri style in the morning. The movie is running behind schedule, as it was scheduled to hit the floor last year, sources in the film unit said. "The film unit has been in the Valley for the last three days and we are working overtime to complete the shooting schedule," a source said. 'Fitoor' is not only the first Bollywood movie being shot in Kashmir after last year's floods,
but it is also the first to be shot here this year. The arrival of the 'Fitoor' film unit is believed to be a good omen for this year's tourist season in Kashmir. Bollywood and Kashmir have had an intimate and mutually beneficial relationship for decades since 1960s. This was interrupted due to the separatist violence
in the Valley that started in early 1990s. As the situation improved over the years, Bollywood has again returned to its choice locations in Kashmir. Bollywood blockbusters of bygone years like Shammi Kapoor-Saira Bano st a r r e r 'Junglee', Shammi-KapoorSharmila Ta g o r e romantic bonanza 'Kashmir Ki Kali', Rajesh Khanna, Shammi Kapoor, Hema Malini super hit ' A n d a z ' a n d Ya s h Chopra's 'Silsila' are some of the memorable films those were shot in Kashmir.
Bigg Boss 8 has reached its ultimate end with its spin off series Bigg Boss Halla Bol drawing its closure in a matter of few hours. The house will yet again be empty for another few months before season 9 kicks off. After Dimpy
Mahajan and Ali Quli Mirza were evicted from the house yesterday, it is the top 3- Gautam Gulati, Karishma Tanna and Pritam Singh who are in the race for the coveted top spot. Did you even know who Gautam Gulati
was before he joined Bigg Boss? Well, Gautam instantly got into the limelight after an argument with Karishma in the first week itself. Aggressive and short tempered, in the beginning, people might have hated him but the way the actor was cornered in the house and was repeatedly picked on by every housemate, he slowly gained sympathy and became popular. No wonder, he’s a crowd favourite now with millions across the nation rooting for their Gauti now! Finally, the channel will benefit hugely if Gautam is the winner. Consider this: the 50 lakh that the winner gets is usually a contract from Colors for their association.

Researchers explain rich Australian Open 2015: Novak Djokovic defeats diversity in mammals Stan Wawrinka in five sets at Melbourne Park New Delhi A new research led by European Molecular Biology Laboratory has revealed the reason behind the rich diversity found in mammals. The research, which was published in journal Cell, also explained why dolphin isn’t a cat. Researchers explained the reason behind the divergence of mammals by examining genome sequences in around twenty nine mammals and comparing gene regulation in liver cells from twenty key
species. The team explained that even both the changes can occur at the same time when amino acid sequences evolve very quickly. Head of Vertebrate Genomics, Paul Flicek said, their research focuses on evolution re-purposes things that exist in all species, to make each species unique, and by looking at gene promoters and enhancers in many different mammals. The study demonstrated that species-specific enhancers come from ancient DNA.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni: The cool finisher As the ball soared into the starlit sky, an eerie silence descended over the ecstatic Wankhede Stadium; Mahendra Singh Dhoni simply followed its rising trajectory, almost bereft of emotion, until the entire country erupted in joy. Only when Yuvraj Singh came dashing into his arms, the India captain broke into a sheepish grin; as stoically, he turned towards the stumps and picked up one before being whisked away on shoulders by his delirious t e a m m a t e s . Appropriately, it was the helicopter shot - the shot that defines his character
and his unorthodoxy - that helped India win back the World Cup after 28 long years. For a long time, the same sangfroid was the hallmark of his game and his personality: he was hailed as ice cold during high-pressure moments; no nerves, some proclaimed, as he orchestrated big chases; captain cool, others said, as he led the side in his own unpredictable manner. In many ways, Dhoni has surpassed the skill at his command as a batsman; in many ways, he has also scripted victories that look impossible in hindsight.
But the world No.1 emphasised why he holds that lofty standing with a
stubborn resolve to match those shot skills to grind out the 7-6 (7-1) 3-6 6-4
Grant Elliot’s all-round show guides New Zealand to easy win against Pakistan Grant Elliot’s allround performance eclipsed Shahid Afridi’s 29-ball blitz to secure New Zealand a comfortable sevenwicket victory over Pakistan in the first One Day International in Wellington on Saturday.

He then returned to hit an unbeaten 64, adding 112-runs with Ross Taylor (59 not out) as New Zealand

4-6 6-0 semi-final triumph. The 3 hours 30 minutes duel was mentally as much as physically draining with the massive momentum shifts against an equally gallant Wawrinka. It was the fourth epic grand slam fivesetter between Djokovic and Wawrinka, three of them at Melbourne Park. And Wawrinka’s bold challenge to earn a shot at defending his Australian Open title made a mockery of the Serb’s 16-3 head-to-head advantage in their duels.

Second-placed Wolfsburg have now closed the gap on the leaders to eight points with the win over Bayern, who recorded their first defeat since April. There was a minute's applause before the game for 20-year-old Wolfsburg first-team player Junior Malanda, who died in a car crash earlier this month, and what followed was an equally fine tribute. Pep Guardiola's Bayern had only conceded four goals in the first half of the Bundesliga season, comprising 17 games before the winter break, but 73 minutes into the second part of the campaign that tally had been doubled.

Bailey not surprised at India's ouster
Not surprised at India's inability to qualify for the tri-series final, Australia captain George Bailey said that concentrating on Test cricket before heading into the ODI event might have been the reason for their below-par showing. India failed to win even a single match in the series, finally going down to the England by three wickets on Friday in a virtual semifinal to get knocked out. However, Bailey believes that all not lost for the the defending
champions before the World Cup. "India would have been concentrating on Test cricket for a long time whereas the English team have had a longer one-day build-up," Bailey said. "India know they have another couple of weeks in Australia before the World Cup and they will just be building up their preparations." The hosts will take on England in the summit clash Sunday and Bailey said that the outcome of the match will not have any
bearing on how his team take on their arch-rivals in their World Cup opener on February 14. "The conditions are so different from here to Melbourne that that won't have any real bearing," said Bailey Saturday. "It'd be nice to win though, absolutely. We play every game to win. We spoke as a group before the Hobart game about winning 13 games straight as a goal. So it'll be great to win. "England are a very dangerous side because they don't rely too heavily on any one player. They look pretty much balanced. They look like they have clear game plans, a good pace attack and they bat deep. I guess we've seen that in their previous matches where even after losing early wickets, they were able to post a good total. They have got a really good mix at the moment," he added.

Remember the Phantom? That masked crusader who lived in the woods and fought crime. Well, in the comics anyway. There were times, however, when ‘the ghost who walks’ would doff his superhero costume and walk the streets as an ordinary human. Again, according
to Lee Falk, the man who’s responsible for bringing the Phantom to life. Well it’s something like that whenever MS Dhoni loses his cool on the cricket field. For, most times he can seem almost superhuman, at least in terms of his ability to stay impassive even when the situation
demands that he let some emotion show. So when Dhoni literally refused to collect a throw from Mohammed Shami and subsequently berated him for not having moved into a finer position at fine-leg, it became an event. Like it always does when the inscrutable Indian captain vents it out
uncharacteristically, like an ordinary human. Here, Dhoni didn’t just shoulder arms to the Shami throw, he stood there demanding to know why his fast bowler hadn’t moved over to his designated position to stop Jos Buttler’s paddlesweep, and thus leaked away two extra runs.
