US court blocks two Joe Biden promises group of H-1B regulations pandemic-hit workers more aid I don’t want you to give up hope, says President-elect; Trump plans White House bid in 2024

HiIndia Newsdesk In a huge relief to tens of thousands of Indian professionals and top American IT firms, a US court has blocked two H-1B regulations proposed by the Trump administration to restrict the ability of American companies to hire foreign employees.

H-1B visas is a non-immigrant visa that allows American companies to employ foreign workers in speciality occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise. The US issues up to 85,000 H-1B visas each year. Usually, they're issued for three years and renewable. Most of the nearly 600,000 H-1B visa holders are from India and China.

In his 23-page order on Tuesday, US District Judge Jeffrey White of Northern District of California blocked the Trump administration's recent policy that required employers to pay foreign workers on H-1B visas significantly higher wages.

Georgia poll official lashes out at Trump

HiIndia Newsdesk

Sterling’s outburst came amid a sustained assault on the US State’s election process by Trump as he seeks to reverse his loss to Joe Biden In one of the most striking rebukes to President Trump since he launched his baseless attacks on the American electoral process, a top-ranking Georgia election official lashed out at the President on Tuesday for failing to condemn threats of violence against people overseeing the voting system in his state.

“It has to stop,” Gabriel Sterling, a Republican and Georgia’s voting system implementation manager, said at an afternoon news conference at the state Capitol, his voice shaking with emotion. “Mr President, you have not condemned these actions or this language.”

He added: “This is elections. This is the backbone of democracy, and all of you who have not said a damn word are complicit in this. It’s too much.”

Sterling’s outburst of anger and frustration came amid a sustained assault on Georgia’s election process by Trump as he seeks to reverse his loss to his Democratic rival, former Vice-President Joseph R. Biden Jr. Sterling, who previously said he had received threats himself, said that threats had also been made against the wife of his superior, Brad Raffensperger, the Republican secretary of state.

HiIndia Newsdesk President-elect Joe Biden on Wednesday promised a group of workers hit by the raging Covid-19 pandemic that more aid would be on the way, while President Donald Trump hinted he may be ready to begin planning another run for the White House in 2024. Biden, who has pledged to act quickly to provide more resources to fight the health crisis after he is inaugurated on January 20, told a group of workers and business owners that any emergency aid approved by Congress before he takes office would be only a “down payment”.

Republicans and Democrats are trying to resolve a monthslong standoff in Congress over a stimulus package for businesses affected by coronavirus shutdowns as well as the millions who have lost jobs.

More than 270,000 people in the US have died of Covid-19, which is resurgent across the country. The US leads the world in the number of infections as well as the number of deaths reported every day.

Biden to ask Americans to Biden says he will join former wear masks for 100 days presidents in publicly getting HiIndia Newsdesk US President-elect Joe Biden has said he will ask Americans to wear masks for his first 100 days in office to curtail the spread of coronavirus.

He told CNN he believed there would be a "significant reduction" in Covid-19 cases if every American wore a face covering.

Mr Biden also said he would order masks to be worn in all US government buildings.

The US has recorded 14 million cases and 275,000 deaths from Covid-19. Mr Biden said: "The first day I'm inaugurated to say I'm going to ask the public for 100 days to mask. Just 100 days to mask, not forever. One hundred days.

"And I think we'll see a significant reduction if we occur that, if that occurs with vaccinations and masking to drive down the numbers considerably."

COVID vaccine

HiIndia Newsdesk WA S H I N G T O N – President-elect Joe Biden said he would publicly take a vaccine when it's available to encourage the public to get vaccinated, joining three former presidents who recently pledged to do the same. Biden said he'd "be happy" to join former Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton in getting the vaccine in public to prove it is safe.

"When Dr. Fauci says we have a vaccine that is safe, that's the moment in which I will stand before the public," Biden said.

“People have lost faith in the ability of the vaccine to work,” Biden told, pointing to the high number of cases. "It matters what a president and vice president do. I think my three predecessors have set the model on what should be done."

Facebook sued for 'denying Ivanka Trump questioned opportunities to US workers' over inauguration funds 'misuse'

HiIndia Newsdesk The US Department of Justice has accused Facebook of discriminating against American workers by giving hiring preferences to immigrants.

A lawsuit alleges the social media firm refused to recruit, consider or hire qualified and available Americans for more than 2,600 positions.

Those jobs instead went to foreigners on temporary visas, the lawsuit says.

Facebook disputed the allegations, but said it was co-operating with the department.

The lawsuit concerns Facebook's use of temporary H-1B visas, which are often used by tech companies to bring highly skilled foreign workers to the US. In its lawsuit, filed on Thursday, the department alleged that Facebook "intentionally created a hiring system" that favoured H-1B visa holders and other temporary workers over Americans. The department said it filed the lawsuit after a two-year investigation into Facebook's hiring practices.

The lawsuit seeks "back pay on behalf of US workers denied employment at Facebook" among other remedies.

HiIndia Newsdesk P r e s i d e n t Tr u m p ' s daughter Ivanka has been questioned under oath over claims that notfor-profit funds were misused at Mr Trump's inauguration in 2017.

A lawsuit launched by District of Columbia (DC) Attorney General Karl Racine alleges that Mr Trump's real estate business and other entities misused the funds to enrich the Trumps.

Mr Trump's Washington hotel is alleged to have been "grossly overpaid".

Ivanka Trump has denounced the case as "politically motivated". In a tweet she shared a screengrab purported to be of an email in which she suggested the hotel be paid a "fair market rate". "This 'inquiry' is another politically motivated demonstration of vindictiveness and waste of taxpayer dollars," she said. However, the inaugural committee has said its finances were independently audited and none of the money was spent unlawfully.

Farmers reject tweak, At 1,600 mn, India biggest buyer stick to repeal demand of Covid-19 vaccine doses: Report ‘Cosmetic changes won’t do’; fresh round on Saturday

Food being taken to the farmers’ leaders at Vigyan Bhavan after they refused the lunch provided by the government.

HiIndia Newsdesk Farmers’ leaders refused the lunch offered by the government during their fourth round of talks on Thursday and stuck to their demand for repeal of the three new farm laws, rejecting offers of amendments.

According to the farmers’ organisations, the three ministers at the talks conceded

Indian wage floor lower than Pakistan's

the merit of some of their concerns and offered to tweak the laws, but the leaders of the 40 farmers’ unions and collectives unanimously dismissed the amendment route.

“We told the government that cosmetic changes will not help,” All India Kisan Sabha general secretary Hannan Mollah said.

The farmers’ unions were, however, appreciative of the time the three ministers gave them on Thursday. The talks, which lasted well beyond six hours, ended with a decision to meet again at 2pm on Saturday.

ANI quoted Harjinder Singh Tanda of the Azaad Kisan Sangharsh Committee as saying: “In the half-time, it seemed that today’s meeting will yield no result, in the second half it seemed that there is pressure of farmers’ agitation on government. Talks were held in a conducive atmosphere.”

Informal workers in India suffered a The pandemic and near simultaneous 22.6% fall on the back of the national attempt to change the status quo at lockdown spanning 40 days northern borders has significantly increased

India buys China stand on Brahmaputra dam

HiIndia Newsdesk India and China on Thursday maintained a semblance of accepting each other’s concerns and contentions about Chinese plans to construct a major dam on the Brahmaputra river in Tibet even as the disengagement along the Line of Actual Control in Ladakh remains a vexed issue.

After the Chinese Communist Party-owned Global Times reported on Sunday that China will build a hydropower project on the Yarlung Zangbo (as the Brahmapura is called in China), there was concern that this would affect the lower riparian countries — India and Bangladesh. China sought to allay fears with statements coming out of its embassy in New Delhi on Wednesday and Beijing on Thursday.

India, for now, appears to have accepted the Chinese contention that they are only undertaking run-of-the-river (which involves little or no water storage) hydropower projects.

HiIndia Newsdesk India has emerged as the biggest purchaser of confirmed vaccine doses at 1,600 million as countries are securing shots to combat the coronavirus disease (Covid-19), which has already killed 1.5 million people globally, a study by the US’ Duke University showed.

India has so far registered over 9.57 million cases till now and 139,188 people have died.

Navy chief flags China security concern

HiIndia Newsdesk

The gross minimum wage in India was lower compared with Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Nepal last year, a report by UN’s labour arm says.

It adds that with hardly any wages paid during the first two phases of the national lockdown, spanning 40 days, informal workers in India suffered a 22.6 per cent fall in wage earnings for the year. Formal-sector workers were better protected, undergoing wage losses of 3.6 per cent.

The study, ‘Launch and Scale Speedometer’, analysed data on vaccine procurement and manufacturing to track the flow of procurement and better understand global equity challenges.

complexities

HiIndia Newsdesk Navy chief Admiral Karambir Singh on Thursday said attempts to change the status quo on India’s northern borders had increased complexities in the country’s security situation and posed a challenge along with the Covid-19 pandemic. “The Covid-19 pandemic disrupted every aspect of life. The near simultaneous attempt to change the status quo at our

northern borders has significantly increased the complexities in our security situation.

The dual challenge scenario continues as we speak and the country collectively continues to battle the pandemic and tackle the security challenges,” he said.

Indian and Chinese troops have been locked in a border standoff in eastern Ladakh since early May. The Chinese People’s Liberation Army has altered the unmarked Line of Actual Control at several friction points and, according to estimates, have taken over close to 1,000sqkm of India-claimed territory.

Addressing a news meet on the eve of Navy Day, Admiral Singh said his force was alive to various threats in the maritime domain, including from China, and was fully ready to deal with them. He said the Indian Navy will formally write to the Centre on the pressing need to have a third aircraft carrier to enhance its maritime capabilities and air operations that are critical in the seas and are important for an “aspirational nation”.

Rahul Gandhi seeks clarity on Centre's Covid vaccine policy Health researchers are also puzzled by Centre’s efforts to backtrack from an earlier commitment to universal immunisation

HiIndia Newsdesk C ongress leader R ahul Gandhi on Thursday sought clarity on the Narendra Modi government’s coronavirus disease vaccination policy amid concerns among

health researchers that the Centre is deviating from universal immunisation and could leave millions unvaccinated. Rahul used Twitter to flag what some health experts view as contradictory signals from the Centre — an assurance from Modi in June that the country’s Covid-19 vaccination campaign would be universal and “no person should be left behind”, but suggestions by health officials that the government would not vaccinate everybody. “PM — everyone will get vaccine. BJP in Bihar elections — Everyone in Bihar will get free vaccine. Now, GOI (Government of India) — never said everyone will get vaccine,” Rahul tweeted.

“Exactly what does the PM stand by?”

The European Union is in the second position with nearly 1,600 million doses.

While, the United States, which continues to be the worst affected nation, has managed to purchase 1,000 million vaccine doses.

The North Carolina-based university conducted research to identify Covid-19 vaccine candidates and status, ongoing n e got i at i ons of pro c u re m e nt an d manufacturing, virus burden in a country along with allocation and distribution plans. “Countries with manufacturing capacity, such as India and Brazil, have been successful in negotiating large advance market commitments with leading vaccine candidates as part of the manufacturing agreements,” the study showed.

TN BJP intellectual cell chief is Rajinikanth’s party coordinator

HiIndia Newsdesk

Speculation that the proposed outfit might be 'pro-BJP' continues despite the actor's attempt to distance itself from the central party’s brand of politics Movie superstar Rajinikanth on Thursday said he would launch a political party in January ahead of the May 2021 Tamil Nadu elections, ending 24 years of suspense over whether he would enter politics.

“A political party will be launched in January. The announcement will be made on December 31,” Rajinikanth, who turns 70 on December 12, tweeted.

“In the coming Assembly elections, with the people’s support, we will usher in a transparent, corruption-free, secular government, beyond caste, religion. It will be the birth of spiritual politics.”

The actor later confirmed the decision at a media interaction. He said he would take the “full plunge” into politics only after completing the shooting of his latest film, Annathai, by March.

Speculation that the proposed outfit might be “pro-BJP” continued despite the phrasing of the tweet appearing to distance Rajinikanth from the BJP’s brand of politics. The actor declared that Arjun Murthy, head of the state BJP’s intellectual cell, would be “chief coordinator” of the new party.

PM To Chair All-Party Meet On Friday To Discuss COVID-19 Situation Amid a global race to find a Covid vaccine, the Prime Minister on Saturday visited the county’s top vaccine hubs

Amit Shah Meets Agriculture Minister As Farmers Threaten To Block Delhi Amid massive protests against the three contentious agricultural laws, Amit Shah on Saturday said the government was ready to deliberate on “every problem and demand” if the farmers were ready to shift to another protest site.

HiIndia Newsdesk New Delhi: Home Minister Amit Shah met Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar this morning. It was the second meeting within 24 hours after farmers protesting against the farm laws rejected the Centre’s proposal of early talks after shifting their protest venue. Last night, Mr Shah met Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Mr Tomar at BJP chief JP Nadda’s Delhi house to discuss the situation, sources said. The protesters have threatened to block five entry points to Delhi. One of the protesters died last night after suffering a heart attack. This was

Another storm coming Tamil Nadu’s way after Cyclone Nivar HiIndia Newsdesk

Less than a week after Cyclone Nivar battered Tamil Nadu, another storm is expected to affect the southern state, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Monday.

The cyclone will cross the Sri Lanka coast on December 2 and will bring heavy rain over Tamil Nadu and Kerala, it said.

Last week, a very severe cyclonic storm Nivar had hit Tamil Nadu.

While there were no reports of loss of life, about 2.5 lakh people were housed in cyclone shelters in the state as part of safety measures.

The IMD has issued a red-colour coded warning for the southern areas of Tamil Nadu, Kerala in view of the brewing storm and said that these areas are expected to receive heavy to very heavy rainfall.

the second death after their march to Delhi started last week. Farmer Gajjan Singh from a Khattra, a village in Ludhiana district of Punjab, died on Sunday night at Tikri border, where a large number of protesters were camping.

His health had deteriorated due to the extreme cold and he reportedly suffered a heart attack. This has been the coldest November in 71 years. All khaps of Haryana have unanimously decided to support the farmers’ protest.

Khaps will gather tomorrow and proceed towards Delhi.

“We request the Centre to re-consider farm Laws.

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will hold an allparty meeting on Friday morning to discuss the coronavirus situation in the country, sources said. This is the second all-party meeting called by the government on coronavirus, which has affected over 94 lakh people across India, since the beginning of the pandemic.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Home Minister Amit Shah, Health Minister Harsh Vardhan, and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi are likely to attend the meeting, sources said, adding that the Parliamentary Affairs Ministry has reached out to floor leaders of all the parties.

While India has logged the second-highest number of cases in the world after the United States, it is one of the countries with the lowest deaths per million population globally, the Health Ministry said this morning.

More than 88 lakh Covid patients have recovered and nearly 1.3 lakh deaths linked to Covid have been registered since the first case was reported from Kerala on January 30.

Amid a global race to find a Covid vaccine, the Prime Minister on Saturday visited the county’s top vaccine hubs to personally review the development of coronavirus vaccine and the manufacturing process.

PM Defends Agri Laws, Says Fear Being Spread By Those Who are Anti-farmer HiIndia Newsdesk Bharatiya Kisan Manch president Buta Singh that the farmers’ leaders spoke to Union home minister Amit Shah over phone, who agreed to hold talks without conditions. “All farmer unions will hold a meeting on Tuesday afternoon. A delegation will meet government officials tomorrow,” he said. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a special package of Rs one lakh crore for farmers. Earlier in the day, Delhi’s Tikri and Singhu borders for traffic movement in the wake of the protests, while Ghazipur border was partially sealed.

New laws bigger threat than coronavirus, say protesting farmers

HiIndia Newsdesk Amid fears that the ‘Delhi Chalo’ protests by farmers will lead to coronavirus spreading faster, their leaders said the black laws enacted at the Centre are a bigger threat than the contagion. There had been few signs of social distancing as thousands of farmers from Punjab and Haryana began their protest last week against the three new agro-marketing laws, setting off on a march to the national capital.

On the way, they skirmished with police at barricades and since Friday are massed at Delhi’s entry points, many of them sheltering inside tractor-trolleys.

Masks appear to be a rarity and there is little attempt at keeping distance from each other, safeguards meant to prevent the infection from spreading.

Covid-19 impacts European Christmas markets HiIndia Newsdesk

The European plazas where people would usually gather at crowded stalls to partake in hot mulled wine, gingerbread, sausages and other delicacies are just empty squares.

Christmas markets, a cherished tradition in Germany and neighbouring countries, have joined the long list of annual traditions that were cancelled or diminished this year because of the coronavirus pandemic.

November saw many European countries impose partial or tougher lockdowns as new virus cases soared.

The restrictions are either being retained or only partially loosened as Advent begins on Sunday. Nuremberg’s sprawling, bustling Christkindlesmarkt, one of Germany’s best known holiday markets and traditionally a big tourist draw, was called off a month ago.

Markets across the country — including in Frankfurt, Dortmund and many in Berlin — have suffered the same fate, with authorities cancelling the events or organisers concluding that it didn’t make sense to push ahead with their plans.

Top teacher wins $1m and gives half away

HiIndia Newsdesk A teacher from a village school in India, praised for improving the education of girls, has won this year's Global Teacher Prize.

But Ranjitsinh Disale has already given away half of the $1m (£750,000) - sharing it with runners-up in the competition.

A special Covid Hero prize was won by Jamie Frost, a UK teacher who ran a free maths tuition website. The winners were announced by Stephen Fry in an online ceremony. Mr Disale, who teaches in the Zilla Parishad Primary School, in the drought-prone village of Paritewadi, in the western Indian state of Maharashtra, was named the world's most exceptional teacher, ahead of 12,000 other nominations.

Mr Disale was praised by the competition's judges for his work to ensure disadvantaged girls went to school and achieved high results - rather than missing out on school and facing early marriage. He also provides online science lessons for pupils in 83 countries and runs an international project building connections between young people in conflict zones.

UK government ministers and health experts have said that all required procedures were followed to approve Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine.

HiIndia Newsdesk British health regulators on Wednesday authorised the use of Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for public inoculation against the coronavirus disease (Covid-19), drawing criticism from US’ top infectious disease expert Dr Anthony Fauci. The United Kingdom became the first country to approve Pfizer’s vaccine, BNT162b2, which has shown an efficacy rate of 95 per cent, while the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is yet to provide emergency use authorisation to the biotech firms. Dr Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases,

opined that the UK regulators did not scrutinise the data as carefully as the FDA is carrying out in its review. Speaking to Fox News, Dr Fauci said that the FDA is doing “the correct way”, asserting that the US agency scrutinises the data “very carefully” to guarantee a safe and efficacious vaccine.

The top health expert further said that rushing to approval would add to the “existing hesitancy” as many people are concerned about the safety of the vaccine.

He boasted that the United States has the “gold standard” of a regulatory approach and the UK did not do it as carefully which helped them get ahead by a couple of days.

“I don’t think that makes much difference.

We’ll be there. We’ll be there very soon,” Dr Fauci added.

“That doesn’t surprise me at all because we’re a much better country than every single one of them,” Williamson told LBC.

How it took a pandemic to stop century machine Virat Kohli

773.526.8353 MIDWEST / EASTCOAST

Virat Kohli Breaks Sachin Tendulkar's Record, Is The Fastest To 12,000 ODI Runs

India vs Australia: Because the three-digit score remained elusive, 2020 and 2008 now bracket a most incredible spell of consecutive years in which Kohli often seemed to be notching ODI hundreds for fun.

HiIndia Newsdesk The faintest tickle of the outside edge of the bat (so faint that it wasn’t even captured on the infrared imaging system) ended not just Virat Kohli’s blossoming innings on Wednesday but also a blossoming career-streak. As he returned to the Canberra pavilion, grim-faced at being dismissed for 63 runs, Kohli was in fact walking away from his first calendar year without scoring an ODI century since his debut season.

It, then, took a combination of a pandemic-shortened

Lionel Messi leads Barcelona to home victory

cricket season and sustained excellence from Australia’s Josh Hazlewood to narrowly stop Kohli from doing what he does best and not extend his streak to a twelfth year. Twice this year Kohli got to a score of 89, in Bengaluru in January and Sydney last week, and on both occasions, it was Hazlewood who stalled him from getting any further. Hazlewood has now dismissed Kohli in every match this series and across four consecutive India-Australia matches over all.

Kohli and India played just nine ODIs in 2020 – six of them against Australia and three in and against New Zealand.

He still smacked five half-centuries in that period and averaged 47.9 this year, extraordinary numbers by even the loftiest standard. But because the three-digit score remained elusive, 2020 and 2008 now bracket a most incredible spell of consecutive years in which Kohli often seemed to be notching ODI hundreds for fun.

India shift gears for T20Is

Virat Kohli on Wednesday became the fastest to reach 12,000 runs in One-day International cricket. Kohli breached the mark in the third ODI against Australia in Canberra. The 32-year-old India skipper had 11,977 runs before this game and got to the landmark soon after arriving at the crease after winning the toss and batting first. Kohli got to the milestone in his 242nd inning thus bettering the previous record set by Sachin Tendulkar, who got his 12000th run in his 300th inning.

Kohli is the second-highest scorer for India in ODIs behind Tendulkar's 18,426 from 463 ODIs. The India captain also holds the record for the fastest batsman (in terms of innings) to 10,000 and 11,000 runs in ODIs. Kohli reached 11,000 runs in 222 innings and became the fastest to breach the 10000-run mark by doing so in his 205th inning.

In father’s footsteps, a Schumacher in F1 HiIndia Newsdesk HiIndia Newsdesk Lionel Messi responded to being benched by scoring twice as a substitute and leading Barcelona to a 5-2 home victory over Real Betis on Saturday, snapping a four-game winless streak in La Liga for the Catalans.

Antoine Griezmann, Pedri and Ousmane Dembele also scored for Barca while Antonio Sanabria and Loren Moron replied for Betis, who had Aissa Mandi sent off on the hour-mark.

Barca’s first league victory since beating Celta Vigo on October took them into eighth in the table with 11 points from seven games. Real Sociedad lead the standings with 17.

Team India finally registered their first win on the tour of Australia as they edged out the hosts by 13 runs in Canberra in a hard fought match. The victory ended India’s run of five ODI losses on the trot and also helped captain Virat Kohli avoid a second straight whitewash in a series of three or more matches. Australia pocketed the series 2-1.

Kohli’s decision to bat first after winning the toss seemed like a good choice as the skipper along with the young opener Shubman Gill stabilised the innings after the early loss of Shikhar Dhawan. The duo played some handsome strokes to string together a 50-run stand. But Gill was soon dismissed for 33 as he was trapped in front by left arm spinner Ashton Agar.

"Wasn't Sure" About Playing Tennis Again: Sania Mirza On Her Journey After Pregnancy

The Schumacher name, which has become synonymous with speed, will return to Formula One next season with Mick, son of Ferrari great and seven-time world champion Michael, announced on Wednesday as a race driver for the US-owned Haas team.

then returning to the court, competing at the highest level. Mirza also urged her fans to watch the 'Being Serena' documentary, highlighting that Serena Williams' journey was similar to her. In her note, Sania Mirza said that after becoming a mother, she was not sure whether she will ever get back to playing Tennis. "Having put-on around 23kgs during my pregnancy, I wasn't sure if I was ever going to get back to being fit and playing tennis again," Sania says in her letter.

Sania added that by following a strict diet and putting in the hard yards during workout sessions, she managed to lose around 26 kilos and came back to the sport she loves.

"I lost around 26 kilos with a lot of workout regimes and very strict diets and came back to tennis because that's what I know, love and do," Sania added.

Sania Mirza, returning to the tennis court after a gap of almost two years, made a dream comeback by winning the Hobart International title with her doubles partner Nadiia Kichenok.

Argentine investigators raided the home of Diego Maradona’s psychiatrist on Tuesday, the latest twist in a probe into the soccer legend’s death last week, which has already seen files seized from his personal doctor.

Prosecutors, with a judicial order, carried out searches in the house and the private office of Agustina Cosachov in Buenos Aires, as they had done on Sunday with the properties of Maradona’s personal doctor Leopoldo Luque. “These are routine measures when investigating the causes of death of a patient,” Cosachov’s lawyer, Vadim Mischanchuk, told the local television. “What is being sought is a medical history on telephones and computers.” Maradona, who fought long battles with addiction, died of a heart attack at the age of 60 last week after undergoing brain surgery earlier in November for a blood clot.

FORMER US SECURITY A BOLTON WO PAKISTAN’S CAPABILITIE TERRORIST

By Mayank Chhaya, Special to Hi India

T

he controversial former US National Security Advisor John Bolton is worried about Pakistan’s nuclear capabilities falling into terrorist hands as well as the country being vulnerable to a terrorist takeover.

With the outgoing President Donald Trump having ordered a nearly full US troop withdrawal from Afghanistan after almost two decades in the war-torn country, in Bolton’s assessment there are clear dangers of a serious instability that could threaten not only the South Asian region but the rest of the world.

In an interview with this author on behalf of the Indian American radio station Bharat FM, Bolton, who served as Trump’s top national security expert for 17 months before being acrimoniously fired in September 2019, said, “I am worried about Pakistan as well. I am worried at the terrorist level. I am worried at the level of nuclear capabilities falling into terrorist hands. I am really worried at the macro level that Pakistan remains vulnerable to a terrorist takeover of the government.”

Bolton said, “There are already significant terrorist elements in parts of the Pakistani military and if you envision the absolute worst case the Pakistani Taliban or others took control of the government to see those nuclear capabilities spread by design into terrorist hands and obviously the overall risk of nuclear confrontation with India. These are dangerous times, and an unstable Afghanistan contributes to that in measurable ways.”

With a reputation of hawkishness and roots in America’s conservative Republican ideology, Bolton has since his departure from the Trump administration become a much sought-after figure in the aftermath of his huge best-seller memoir ‘The Room Where it Happened: A White House Memoir” about his tenure as Trump’s National Security Advisor. The president routinely derides him on his Twitter handle and Bolton returns fire but not in the kind of language that Trump uses.

For instance, in a recent tweet the president called him a “real dope” and “one of the dumbest people in government.” He called Bolton, “A sullen, dull and quiet guy, he added nothing to National Security except, “Gee, let’s go to war.” Also, illegally released much classified Information. A real dope!” Asked how he would respond to that characterization, Bolton said it was “juvenile” of the president to use such terms but added he drew some solace from the fact that he was not the only one being so attacked.

Bolton, once a US Ambassador to the United Nations despite his disdain for the international organization, said it was it was a “mistake to negotiate directly with the Taliban, at least for as long as we did without bringing the Afghan government in.” He called the Trump administration’s negotiations with the Taliban “poorly advised”.

“The deal that was done with the Trump administration is coming apart right in front of us. I am worried that if the troop drawdown continues and (President-elect Joe) Biden simply acquiesces in it, that immeasurably strengthens the Taliban in Afghanistan with implications right across the border,” Bolton said.

He called for maintaining the US presence to “watch what is going on inside Iran and Pakistan, two nuclear powers or aspiring nuclear powers pose great threat to the region, to the United States and to the whole world and we are severely undermining that capability if we come down as low as Trump has proposed.”

In President Trump’s proposal, the US will leave only 2500 troops in Afghanistan which Bolton said “makes no military sense.”

His is by no means a very widely prevalent view in America other than inside the conservative thinking since the US has been in Afghanistan since 2001 from the immediate aftermath of the September 11 attacks. Despite being there for almost two decades Afghanistan remains a cauldron boiling with terrorist and Taliban bloodletting with Pakistan constantly making its presence felt there. There is a considered view among many experts that Islamabad views the control of Afghanistan as part of its strategy of achieving geostrategic depth in light of its tensions with India.

In a sense Trump’s decision to withdraw all troops from Afghanistan and Iraq resonates even outside his core base, especially at a time America has been ravaged by the COVID pandemic which has not only left 272,820 Americans dead and over 13.8 million sick at the time of writing this, it has created rampant joblessness and enormous business losses. There are growing voices that hundreds of billions, if not trillions of dollars spent on the endless Afghan war could be redirected to rebuilding America.

One of India’s most serious misgivings about the incoming administration of President Joe Biden has been how it might approach

S NATIONAL ADVISOR JOHN ORRIED ABOUT S NUCLEAR ES INTO T HANDS

cularly in the context of the Indoon was asked about the current tensions, the importance of the al security arrangement between , Australia and America known as well as Biden’s China policy. e India-China tensions, Bolton worried about the Biden on’s approach on China generally. d about how they deal with iwan, how they deal with China’s ect to make South China Sea f China’s, how they deal with elopments like the repression of d the violation of the joint Sino-UK on the handover of Hong Kong ating the one country-two systems

pointed Beijing’s long history elations with countries such as South East Asia. ndia-China tensions he said, “We n now along the Line of Actual belligerent incidents provoked by ces.” He also referred to the media t China building a village inside med by Bhutan “much in the ave been trying create facts on the outh China Sea.” He said none of accident. hink the Trump administration tive strategy for dealing with ow in the past year obviously it had ne approach but that because it p politically,” he said. emained skeptical about the den administration’s China policy fault policy remained the way rack Obama approached it. He

called that approach “very very disturbing and entirely benign.”

He, however, pointed out that Biden does understand that the American public opinion has changed dramatically on China because of the coronavirus and that might have an impact on it. He said the best he could say it is that Biden’s China policy is a work in progress.

On the question of how the withdrawal of US troops might alter balance among India and China vis-à-vis Pakistan and Afghanistan, he said, “I don’t know what Biden’s view is. I don’t know that he understands this enough. I don’t know that he has fit this picture together with how you deal with China. I can certainly see from India’s perspective it looks like one large conflict if you look at China’s efforts for decades to influence Pakistan. This is very troubling.”

“From the US perspective in the IndoPacific region you can’t separate, say you got the Afghanistan problem here and China problem over there when to the players of the region they are very much related,” he said.

Bolton described the Quad as an “important strategic framework” which in a sense filled the longstanding gap of the US not having a “complex web of alliance structure” like the kind it has in Europe through NATO. He also said the Trump administration had “sadly” missed the Quad opportunity largely despite a strong push by India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Japan’s former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Bolton said he thinks “Biden will pay more attention to developing this framework (Quad) but obviously to be successful it has to be based on a realistic assessment of the risks and dangers China’s policies pose for us.”

NEW TRUMP ADMINISTRATION CITIZENSHIP TEST IS MORE DIFFICULT FOR IMMIGRANTS TO PASS

T

he test for legal immigrants to become naturalized U.S. citizens is about to get harder.

Every person who applies for citizenship after Tuesday, Dec. 1, will have to study 128 questions about American history and government instead of the previous 100 questions.

They also will have to answer 12 out of 20 questions correctly to pass instead of the previous six out of 10. Passing the test is the final requirement for legal permanent residents to become full-fledged naturalized citizens, which includes voting among other rights.

Legal permanent residents eligible to naturalize already typically spend months studying for the citizenship test.

The revised citizenship test was announced Nov. 13 by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and, officials said, is part of a decennial update intended to ensure the test comprehensively assesses applicants’ knowledge of American history, government and civic values.

But critics say the previous exam was adequate and the revised version is part of the Trump administration’s long list of efforts to curb immigration, including legal immigration.

“I think it’s unfortunate that they are making it more difficult to become a citizen of the United States,” said Ray Ybarra Maldonado, a Phoenix immigration lawyer. “The test was already difficult. It required people to learn a lot that even the average person who was born a citizen didn’t know, so to me it’s disappointing to see them put another barrier between people who are legal permanent residents and U.S. citizens.”

Analysts say the longer, more difficult test will discourage legal permanent residents from applying for citizenship, and note that it comes on the heels of the Trump administration’s attempt

to significantly increase the fee for applying for naturalization.

The cost for applying for citizenship was set to jump at least 80% on Oct. 2 to $1,170, or $1,160 if filed online, until a federal judge in September temporarily put the scheduled fee increases on immigration benefits on hold.

The revised test also comes on top of the Trump administration’s increased vetting of all immigrant benefit applicants.

“It will probably mean that a higher number will have difficulty passing it the first time around,” said Randy Capps, director of research for U.S. programs at the nonpartisan Migration Policy Institute. Applicants get a second chance to take the test if they don’t pass the first time.

In addition to making it more difficult for legal permanent residents to become citizens, the longer test will make more work for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services at a time when the agency is already under budget constraints, Capps said.

The longer test means that the citizenship interview will take longer, Capps said. And because more people probably won’t pass the first time, they will have to take the test a second time, which will mean even more work for USCIS officials, Capps said.

“It’s not just going to be a burden on the applicant. It’s going to be a burden on USCIS because it’s going to take more processing time,” he said.

It’s possible the new Biden administration may scrap the new citizenship test and go back to the previous test, Capps said.

Wajid Khan's wife Kamalrukh opens up on pressure from in-laws to convert her to Islam

Wajid Khan (of composer duo Sajid-Wajid) passed away in June due to a kidney ailment. Almost six months after his death, his wife Kamalrukh, who is a clinical psychotherapist, opened up in an Instagram post about her ordeal.

"I am Parsi and he was Muslim. We were what you would call "college sweethearts". Eventually, when we did get married, we married for love under the Special Marriages Act (an act that upholds the right to practice one's own religion post marriage). And this is why this current debate surrounding the anti conversion bill is so interesting for me. I want to share my ordeal and my experience in an inter caste marriage - that in this day and age, a woman can face such prejudice, suffering and discrimination in the name of religion is a complete shame... and an eye opener." "I truly wish this anti-conversion law is nationalised, reducing the struggle for women like me who are fighting the toxicity of religion in inter caste marriages. We are bad mouthed, and labelled as being manipulative and greedy for standing our ground. The real enemy in this conversion cycle commences right at the start - the hate campaign against "other religions". To declare in public space that one's own religion is "the only true religion" and that one's own god/prophet is "the only true god/prophet" is obnoxious. Religion should be a cause for celebration of differences not separation of families."

Late music composer Wajid Khan's wife Kamalrukh Khan alleged that her in-laws tried to force her to convert to Islam.

bhishek Bachchan shares this 'personal touch' that involved in the name 'Jaipur Pink Panthers', he says, "AB shares, "Jaipur Pink Panthers has a very personal touch with me. Whatever work I do in life, I feel it should have a personal connect. When I was little, my father used to call me out saying 'Tiger' then after a few years I thought even I should call him something as an answer. One day when he came back home from shooting, he asked me 'How are you tiger? I replied,' I am fine Panther. How are you?' and I was 4-5 years old then. Since then it became like a fun thing, he used to call me Tiger, I used to call him Panther. If there was an animal that we wanted to choose, I was sure that it was Panther because that is how I used to call me father.

He added, "Pink is my daughter, Aaradhya's favorite colour. So I thought that Pink and Panther would be nice.

My wife Aishwarya has worked in the film Pink Panther 2 with Steve Martin, so that's a connect to Aishwarya. Jaipur was the city, Aishwarya and I came together in, so that's why Jaipur. If you see, our Pink Panther has blue-green eyes which are the same as my wife's. So there is a personal connect to everything about Jaipur Pink Panthers."

The series is going to be a Rollercoaster ride of emotions for the audience. Bringing the sport into light and the stars of the mat to fame, the audiences will be compelled by a locker room view with no holds barred, honest aggressions and celebrations of the team. For the players, this game and team is their life and their individual journey's are highlighted in the series, the will to not succumb to circumstances and walk towards with grit, courage and passion makes them the Sons of The Soil.

these guys who’ve all, over a period of 35 years, helped me in one way or another.

I’ve slept on their couches when I was broke. They loaned me money when I was broke.

They helped me when I needed help over the years. And I’ve helped them over the years.” He continued, “I thought, you know, without them I don’t have any of this. And we’re all really close, and I just thought basically if I get hit by a bus, they’re all in the will.

Rahul Roy’s right side affected after brain stroke

Actor Rahul Roy’s health is showing signs of improvement after he suffered a brain stroke while shooting in the extreme weather of Kargil. The Aashiqui actor is said to be suffering from a condition called Aphasia- a condition where you cannot frame sentences correctly, as per reports.

Rahul was shooting from LAC - Live The Battle, which is directed by Nitin Kumar Gupta and produced by Chitra Vakil Sharma and Nivedita Basu. He had to be airlifted to Mumbai after the brain stroke.

“Rahul has been a close friend of the director and he was the first one on the project,” producer Nivedita Basu told Mumbai Mirror, “Kargil had extreme weather conditions and they had gone up to -12°C and -13°C, so it was just a matter of time when someone would have succumbed to the cold, and I think that’s exactly what happened with Rahul. His one day of the shoot was still left but when we got to know about him, we told Nitin that we need to get him out.” his brother-in-law Romeer Sen declined to go into details of his health, but added, “We stay with Rahul bhaiyya and the medicines prescribed by the doctors are working for him. He should be out of this soon. But, do pray for him.”

He appeared in other 1990s films, including Junoon, Phir Teri Kahani Yaad Aayee and more. Later he also won the first season of TV reality show Big Boss in 2006.

5 fool proof steps to get the PERFECT nails at home

B

A good manicure and pedicure make us feel cared for. When our nails are neat, tidy, smooth and glossy, it seems like all is right in the world again.

Step 1: Remove old nail polish Start with a clean base, remove all the layers of old nail polish with a mild remover, so your nails are ready to take on fresh, new coats.

Step 2: Soak Soak your hands in water for around three minutes and scrub them with some sugar, so that the dead skin cells are removed.

Step 3: Cuticle shaper Now that your cuticles are soft, using a round neck tool, push them back to get a good, curved shape so there is enough space for the nail polish to make your nails look long and sleek.

Step 4: Apply the base coat This step is most often ignored, but is one of the most important steps.

It preps your nails for the top coat and smoothens out and uneven ridges creating a smooth surface for the actual coat of nail colour.

Step 5: Polish!

Apply a thin coat of the nail colour you desire, over the transparent base coat. Once this dries, coat this with yet another layer of the same nail polish. This ensures longevity.

The most sensitive zodiac sign of all, Cancer people get easily hurt and cry at any moment.

These people can easily be vulnerable and don’t let others know about it as well. They cry secretly for a long time and take a lot of time to heal.

The fellow zodiac sign of Cancer, Pisceans are also very emotional and soft-hearted. They cannot take anything casually and easily get hurt by it. When they are in a situation of crying, they channel their inner-poet to mourn.

These people are angrily touchy. When they get hurt, they surely cry but will be very angry as well. These are compassionate, loyal and intense people who expect the same kind of behaviour from their partner.

But failing to get so, they get hurt and start crying.

They not only cry for getting hurt, but they can easily get teary in any emotional moment. Be it a romantic movie or their best friend’s wedding, they will be the first to get emotional and cry.

Food that boost your immunity It is not that immune-healthy people do not fall sick. They do but they recover quickly What is immunity?

In simple words, immunity is our body’s natural defence system, which protects us from invasions by foreign substances. There are special mechanisms in place, which can destroy foreign substances, like bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasite; before they multiply and cause illness.

The immune system is made up of special organs, cells and chemicals. The main parts of the immune system are white blood cells, antibodies, the complement system, the lymphatic system, the spleen, the thymus, the bone marrow and even the gut wall.

@hiindia

773.526.8353 MIDWEST / EASTCOAST

/hiindiaNews

Betacarotene: It is converted into vitamin A in the body. It helps protect the immune system from the action of damaging free radical molecules.

Vitamin A strengthens the skin inside and out, and therefore acts as a first line of defence and keep viruses and bacteria out of the body.

Sources: It is found in high concentration in yellow and orange fruits such as mango, papaya, watermelon, melon, apricot, sweet potato, carrot, red and yellow peppers.

Vitamin C: It stimulates our immunity by its ability to increase antibody production and speed the rate at which immune cells mature. Viruses cannot survive in a vitamin C-rich environment, making it an incredible antiviral agent.

However, mega doses of vitamin C can cause diarrhoea and gastrointestinal disturbances. The US Food and Nutrition Board recommended a tolerable upper intake level (UL) for vitamin C of two grams daily.

Sources: Fruits like orange, sweet lime, grapefruit, kiwi, strawberry and Indian gooseberry (amla). Guava has more vitamin C than the orange, making them excellent source of the vitamin.

Vegetables such as bell pepper, cabbage, broccoli, tomato, cauliflower also contain it.

Vitamin D: It enhances the function

of immune cells including macrophages and T-cells that protect your body against pathogens. Deficiency of vitamin D can increase risk of respiratory infections.

Sources: Fatty fish like salmon, sardine, egg yolk, mushroom, fortified products such as cow’s milk, soy milk, cereals and orange juice.

Vitamin E: It is a powerful antioxidant and can protect immune cells from oxidative damage. In vitamin E deficiency, most of the immune parameters show a downward trend, which increases the risk of infectious disease. It is an important nutrient for maintaining the immune system, especially in the elderly.

Sources: Sunflower seeds, almond, spinach, avocado, squash, olive oil, broccoli.

Selenium: It keeps your immune system healthy. Deficiency of selenium has been shown to harm immune cell function and may lead to slower immune response.

Sources: Oyster, tuna, egg, sunflower seeds, chicken and shiitake mushroom.

Zinc: It is a crucial nutrient for the production and function of immune cells. Low levels of zinc have been shown to weaken the immune system.

Sources: Oyster, beef, lamb, shrimp, green peas, egg yolk, whole grain, peanuts, almond, cashew, pumpkin and flaxseeds, ginger root.

Manufacturing error in AstraZeneca-Oxford Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine may not Covid-19 vaccine: What went wrong? be needed, says Harsh Vardhan

India already has at least five vaccine candidates against Covid-19 under human trial, of which three vaccine candidates are undergoing advanced phase 2/3 clinical trials

What went wrong?

On Monday, AZD1222 Covid-19 vaccine jointly developed by AstraZeneca and the Oxford University was declared to be 70 per cent effective based on combined data analysis after two dosage regimens. The vaccine was 62 per cent effective when administered as two complete dosages and 90 per cent effective when given as a half dose followed by a full dose, both with a month’s gap.

The clinical trial results were based on 23,000 volunteers from the UK and Brazil and the results invited significant positive response globally, considering that the world is in the race for finding a cure to the pandemic.

However, on Wednesday, a statement from Oxford University confirmed that the problem of some volunteers receiving only half a dose was due to the fact that the right concentration of the vaccine was not there in some vials, as reported by the Associated Press.

This manufacturing error didn’t find any mention in the earlier report by AstraZeneca, in which the efficacy of

the vaccine was declared. Researchers at Oxford University have been uncertain about the reason behind these results.

What happens next?

AstraZeneca’s chief executive officer Pascal Soriot comments that the company might perform more research on their Covid-19 vaccine is a possibility, given that the earlier efficacy was declared by pooling the results obtained from two countries - the UK and Brazil.

UK’s independent regulator Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) will now assess the vaccine for its efficiency and data accuracy, before granting any approval for usage in the UK. “No vaccine would be authorized for supply in the U.K. unless the expected standards of safety, quality and efficacy are met,” June Raine, chief executive of MHRA, was quoted as saying by AP. However, AstraZeneca’s partner for the vaccine program in India, Serum Institute of India, has allayed all fears regarding the efficacy and said that trials in India have taken place with “strict adherence to all the necessary processes and protocols.”

Union health minister Harsh Vardhan has reiterated that India may not require Pfizer’s vaccine against coronavirus disease (Covid-19), with other vaccine candidates being tested in the country showing promising results in safety trials so far.

According to media reports, the health minister said that it did not make sense to consider the Pfizer-BioNTech’s vaccine as even the US regulatory authority had not yet granted approval to the vaccine. And even if the approvals are granted, the manufacturer would first attempt to cater to its local population before supplying the vaccine to other countries, he said.

India has at least five vaccine candidates against Covid-19 under human trial, of which three vaccine candidates are undergoing advanced phase 2/3 clinical trials to establish safety and efficacy. The Serum Institute of India is conducting the phase 3 trial with the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR)

for the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine candidate.

The Bharat Biotech-ICMR vaccine candidate, Covaxin, has also progressed, and phase 3 trial has started. The results of its phase 2 trials are expected anytime now.

Cadila Health’s vaccine candidate, ZyCovD, has also completed the phase 2 trial, and is awaiting results, even as the follow up period is nearing its end.

Apart from these three, phase 2/3 trials for the Sputnik V Russian vaccine, for which India’s Dr Reddy’s labs has tied up with the Russian vaccine developers, is going to start anytime this week.

Hyderabad-based Biological E’s vaccine candidate also has early phase 1/2 trials in the pipeline. The government is in talks with developers and manufacturers of all potential Covid-19 vaccine candidates for procurement of their product. According to the health minister, the government will start the immunisation process in a phased manner.

Tech makes the camera Super Nintendo World opens on February The mysterious Utah monolith has shrink 4th with AR Mario Kart rollercoaster disappeared

The smallest full-frame camera in existence — Sony’s Alpha 7C

Who took it and where it went are still unknown

The Alpha 7C is fashioned to be compact, lightweight and portable without compromising genuine full-frame camera performance. This goal was accomplished by developing new mechanical components, such as a space-saving shutter and optical stabilisation unit, along with layout and structural enhancements.

Alpha 7C has Sony’s smart AI-based Real-time Tracking and Real-time Eye AF. Reliable subject tracking translates into more successful portraits. As with previous models, you were able to aim at the subject and half-press the preconfigured shutter button to start Real-time Eye AF. The Alpha 7C also has a new feature that lets you press the AF-ON button to activate Real-time Tracking even when not in AF-C mode, allowing you to use Real-time Tracking immediately.

Focus is maintained even when the face is partially obstructed or when the subject is wearing glasses.

Alpha 7C is perfectly suited for all types of content creators. The camera is specially designed for movie making, with the MOVIE button being moved to the top panel to improve access when shooting from different angles. The side opening LCD, external mic and headphone jack helps you customise your movie shooting process. The camera being so compact while incorporating high-resolution 4K movies and a wealth of expression-expanding movie functions, we believe it is going to be a first choice for all types of vloggers, especially travel.

The Utah monolith has now disappeared almost as abruptly as it was discovered.

The Utah Bureau of Land Management released a statement that the “illegally installed structure” had been removed from its public lands by an unknown party, likely on November 27th, after receiving national and international attention.

“The BLM did not remove the structure which is considered private property,” according to the statement posted to the agency’s Facebook page. “We do not investigate crimes involving private property which are handled by the local sheriff ’s office.”

The 10- to 12-foot steel object was first discovered by the Utah Department of Public Safety during a sheep-counting expedition in the Utah desert on November 18th. There was “no obvious indication” where it came from or who put it there.

The agency posted photos of the monolith to Instagram and its website. But it avoided mentioning the structure’s exact location, warning that it was very remote, and “if individuals were to attempt to visit the area, there is a significant possibility they may become stranded and require rescue.”

Facebook News will pay UK outlets for content in 2021

Facebook will begin paying UK news publishers for some articles with the launch of Facebook News in January.

The feature adds a dedicated news tab to the Facebook app, and has already launched in the United States.

Facebook said it will "pay publishers for content that is not already on the platform" and prioritise original reporting. It comes after years of tension between Facebook and news publishers, who have often accused it of "stealing" content. But hundreds of UK news outlets are already signed up to deals for the new feature, Facebook said.

They include publishers such as Hearst (Cosmopolitan, Elle, Esquire); the Guardian Media group; regional newspaper giant JPI Media; and the Midland News Association. Facebook said it expects more publishers to join after the launch. Facebook said its launch in the US has shown it that 95% of the traffic to Facebook News publishers through that tab, are new readers who "have not interacted with those news outlets in the past".

Universal Studios Japan has announced an opening date for its long-awaited Nintendo-themed area. The Super Nintendo Land zone will open at the Osaka theme park on February 4th, 2021.

That’s actually a little earlier than expected — last month Nintendo said that the project would open in spring. A themed cafe and merchandise store have already opened in the larger Universal Studios Japan park.

USJ and Nintendo have also provided details on what is sure to be one of the park’s flagship attractions: a Mario Kartthemed rollercoaster. It’s housed inside a reconstructed Bowser’s castle and makes use of AR and projection mapping technology, with riders donning AR headsets shaped like Mario’s ca. The cars do have steering wheels, and multiple vehicles can race alongside each other, but it sounds like the ride itself is on rails. It’s not guaranteed that you win the race — there’s an element of throwing power-ups

from item boxes, and the experience will be different each time you ride, according to USJ. The park says it’s working with health administration officials to ensure a safe environment for visitors and staff, and is currently operating at 50-percent capacity. COVID-19 cases have been rising in Osaka recently, with a record count of 490 positive tests reached on one day last week. Japan has largely avoided strict lockdown measures to date, however, relying on contact tracing and near-universal mask-wearing to mitigate the pandemic’s impact.

Mi Human Body Sensor 2

With Ability to Trigger Other Smart Home Devices Launched

T

he Mi Human Body Sensor 2 essentially tracks movements that trigger certain actions that can be set by the user.

to other smart home devices to carry out a function through the app. It can be used in conjunction with a smart bulb or smart light through the app which can turn the lights on when the Mi Human Body Sensor 2 detects motion. It can also be used to trigger a smart camera to start recording and push the footage to the Mijia app. Xiaomi claims the Mi Human Body Sensor 2 can last about a year with its battery. It will notify the user in case the battery is low. The company also states that even if the sensor is facing direct sunlight or kept in the dark, it will have no issues with tracking movements.

MacBook Pro 16-Inch With 12-Core Apple M1X Processor Tipped

MacBook Pro 16-inch with Apple M1X processor has been tipped to be even faster than the current M1 processor. While Apple has not shared any information on a new 16-inch MacBook Pro or an M1X processor, a tipster claimed that the latter will debut with the larger MacBook Pro through a tweet from last weekend. The tipster also shared some details about the alleged M1X processor but also said that the name is not final as of yet. Apple launched the M1-powered MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Mac mini devices earlier this month and the new processor has been leaving its Intel counterparts in the dust.

Earlier this month, it was reported that a 14-inch MacBook Pro laptop powered by the M1 processor could also launch next year.

CBP INTRODUCES SIMPLIFIED ARRIVAL IN LAS VEGAS HI INDIA NEWS DESK LAS VEGAS, NV—U.S.

C

ustoms and Border Protection (CBP) recently introduced Simplified Arrival at the McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas.

Simplified Arrival is an enhanced international arrival process that uses facial biometrics to automate the manual document checks that are already required for admission into the United States. This process provides travelers with a touchless experience that further secures and streamlines international arrivals while fulfilling a longstanding Congressional mandate to biometrically record the entry and exit of non-U.S. citizens.

“Over the years, we have aligned our vision to successfully deploy critical resources and technological innovations with the shared goal of enhancing the traveler experience, while still maintaining the highest levels of national security,” said Carlos C. Martel, Director of Field Operations, Los Angeles.

Simplified Arrival only uses the

biometric facial comparison process at a time and place where travelers are already required by law to verify their identity by presenting a travel document. When travelers arrive at LAS on an international flight, they will pause for a photo at the primary inspection point.

“McCarran looks forward to more international travelers returning to Las Vegas and when they do, Simplified Arrival will help ensure a seamless experience,” said Rosemary Vassiliadis, Clark County Director of Aviation. “As a destination known for world-

such as passport and visa photos.

In addition, foreign travelers who have traveled to the U.S. previously will no longer need to provide fingerprints, as their identity will be confirmed through the touchless facial comparison process.

“With the help and assistance of McCarran International Airport, CBP implemented facial biometric boarding to all international outbound gates ,and Simplified Arrival is fully operational now to provide travelers the same secure, touchless experience at entry process, said Warren Eales, Port Director Las

A CBP officers captures facial biometrics of a traveler at McCarran International Airport.

class experiences, we are proud to coordinate with U.S. Customs and Border Protection on the implementation of this modernized process that will provide a more efficient welcome for those traveling here from around the world.” CBP’s biometric facial comparison process will compare the new photo of the traveler to a small gallery of highquality images that the traveler has already provided to the government,

Vegas. “The upgraded system has taken most of the administrative work away from the officers, allowing them to provide each traveler with a more personal experience.”

Simplified Arrival pairs one of the industry’s highest ranked facial comparison algorithms (as assessed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology) with trained CBP officers who are skilled at verifying the authenticity of travel documents.

If a traveler cannot be matched to a photo on record using the Simplified Arrival process, the traveler will proceed through the traditional inspection process consistent with existing requirements for entry into the United States.U.S. citizens and select foreign nationals who are not required to provide biometrics may opt out of the new biometric process simply by notifying a CBP officer as they approach the primary inspection point. These travelers will be required to present a valid travel document for inspection by a CBP officer and they will be processed consistent with existing requirements for admission into the United States.

CBP is committed to its privacy obligations and has taken steps to safeguard the privacy of all travelers.

CBP has employed strong technical security safeguards and has limited the amount of personally identifiable information used in the facial biometric process. New photos of U.S. citizens will be deleted within 12 hours. Photos of most foreign nationals will be stored in a secure Department of Homeland Security system.

omcast Corporation (NASDAQ: CMCSA) today announced the first round of Comcast RISE award recipients —over 700 businesses will receive consulting, media and creative production services from Effectv, the advertising sales division of Comcast Cable, or technology upgrades from Comcast Business, based on the specific needs.

Recipients in 285 cities in 29 states include a diverse roster of small business from restaurants and salons, to professional services and retail shops. In addition, 3,300 small businesses have already signed up to receive the Comcast RISE monthly newsletter, which will offer free marketing insights and resources.

Today, the next phase of Comcast RISE, the multi-year, multi-faceted initiative launched in October to help strengthen small businesses hard hit by COVID-19, opens up eligibility to include Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC)owned, small businesses. They can apply at www.

ComcastRISE.com.

“2020 has been a challenge. We literally could not

create anything new, because we couldn’t get our suppliers to make it. This has drastically slowed down the opening of our store, COOL Creative, which was slated to open in the spring,” said Johanne Pradel Wilson of Hollywood, Florida.

“We’re thankful that we now have the opportunity to promote the store through TV advertising from Effectv, so we can let people know that COOL Creative is here and open for business.”

“I decided to open my ice cream shop, MyKings Ice Cream, on March 1, which was about 15 days before the world pandemic hit. It has been hard to staff, and I just want the shop to fully function. In order to do that, we need help with our website, payroll system and other tools to help make the business succeed. I know ice cream, not technology,” said Le’Day Grant of Denver, Colorado. “I am looking forward to partnering with Comcast Business and to receiving our technology makeover, as it will set MyKings Ice Cream up to succeed and grow.”

The first phase of Comcast RISE, which stands for “Representation, Investment, Strength and Empowerment,” focused on U.S. Blackowned, small businesses, those hit hardest by the pandemic according to a recent study from the National Bureau of Economic Research. Comcast RISE brings together two of the company’s brands —Comcast Business and Effectv, both with expertise in the small business space — to empower business owners with the expertise and resources needed to navigate the economic effects of the pandemic.

“We created Comcast RISE to partner with small businesses and give them access to tools to help them survive the pandemic and thrive. As we’ve

gone through the selection process, it’s been so powerful to hear these business owners’ stories and see the tangible ways that we can help grow their businesses and impact their communities,” said Teresa Ward-Maupin, SVP for Digital and Customer Experience at Comcast Business. “I could not be more pleased to open this program to the entire BIPOC community and continue this positive momentum.”

“Fueling the success of small businesses is what our business is all about. We partner with them to better understand their needs and what we can do to help them grow. Our success is their success,” said James Lavallee, Vice President, Sales Marketing, Effectv. “That’s why, at a time when so many in our small business communities are struggling, it’s incredibly humbling to be able to give back and share our knowledge and resources with those hardest by the pandemic. We want to help our partners and communities rise.”

Comcast RISE consists of the following main components: A media and technology resources program: This pillar combines Effectv’s renowned media platform and marketing expertise, its awardwinning creative agency, Mnemonic, and state-ofthe-art technical support from Comcast Business to help small businesses foster and elevate growth.

Recipients will receive help with their marketing, media campaigns and creation of 30-second commercials, as well as equipment and technology upgrades, including: Consulting: Advertising and marketing consultations with local Effectv marketing, research and creative teams to gain insights on how to grow your business.

Indian Origin Call Center Owner Patel Sentenced 20 Year Prison for Fraud HI INDIA NEWS DESK HOUSTON, TX -

T

he U.S. Department of Justice Nov. 30 announced that Indian national Hitesh Patel was sentenced to 20 years in prison followed by three years of supervised release in the Southern District of Texas for his role in operating and funding India-based call centers that defrauded U.S. victims out of millions of dollars between 2013 and 2016.

Patel, aka Hitesh Hinglaj, 44, of Ahmedabad, India, was sentenced

by U.S. District Judge David Hittner for the charges of wire fraud conspiracy and general conspiracy to commit identification fraud, access device fraud, money laundering, and impersonation of a federal officer or employee, the release said.

Patel was also ordered to pay

Call Center in India

restitution of $8,970,396 to identified victims of his crimes, it adds.

According to admissions in his plea agreement, Patel and his coconspirators perpetrated a complex scheme in which employees from

call centers in Ahmedabad, India, impersonated officials from the IRS and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, and engaged in other telephone call scams designed to defraud victims throughout the United States.

States had noted.

Taking to Twitter, State Department deputy spokesperson Cale Brown said: “November 26 marks the 12th anniversary of the terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India. Through the Rewards for Justice program, we seek to ensure that all those responsible for this heinous attack face justice.”

In these gruesome attacks, nine terrorists were killed and the lone survivor, Ajmal Amir Kasab, was caught and sentenced to death. On Nov. 11, 2012, Kasab was hanged at Yerwada Central Jail in Pune.

“Sajid Mir was LeT’s operations

on April 22, 2011. In 2019, Mir was added to the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorists List,” it added.

It went on to say that on Aug. 30, 2012, the Department of the Treasury designated Mir for holding leadership positions within the LeT. “According to the U.S. Department of Treasury, as of 2005, Mir directed training for operatives preparing for overseas recruiting, money laundering, and operational planning. The LeT was designated a foreign terrorist organization by the U.S. Department of State in December 2001,” the department added.

However, Pakistani authorities continue to deny culpability and are yet to take action on the multiple dossiers shared by India. A trial underway in a Pakistani antiterrorism court against seven suspects has made little headway in more than a decade, as Pakistani officials serially question the sufficiency and legitimacy of evidence against them.

Pakistan has been placed on the FATF’s grey list of the country with inadequate controls over terror financing in 2018, saying Pakistan “still needs to demonstrate that law enforcement agencies are identifying and investigating the widest range of terrorism financing activity.”

Pakistan has long been criticized for cultivating terror proxy groups and the country currently faces renewed pressure to act against terrorists.

U.S. Announced Reward Up to $5 Million for Information about 26/11 Mastermind HI INDIA NEWS DESK WASHINGTON, D.C. –

T

welve years after the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, the United States has announced a reward of up to $5 million for information leading to the arrest or conviction of Lashkar-e-Tayyiba member Sajid Mir for his “role” in the attacks in Mumbai in 2008.

According to an official statement issued by the U.S. Rewards for Justice program, “Sajid Mir, a senior member of the Pakistanbased foreign terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Tayyiba, is wanted for his involvement in the November 2008 terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India.

The Rewards for Justice program is offering a reward of up to $5 million for information leading to the arrest or conviction in any country of Sajid Mir for his role in these attacks.”

On Nov. 26, 2008, 10 terrorists, trained by the Pakistan-based terrorist organization LeT, carried out a series of coordinated attacks against multiple targets in Mumbai – the Taj Mahal Hotel, the Oberoi Hotel, the Leopold Cafe, the Nariman (Chabad) House, and the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus – killing 166 people.

“Key members of this heinous plot remain at large, and this investigation remains active and ongoing.

This reward offer extends to any individual who bears responsibility for this act of terror,” the United

Lashkar-e-Tayyiba member Sajid Mir

manager for the Mumbai attack, playing a leading role in its planning, preparation, and execution. Mir was indicted in the United States District Court, Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division (Chicago, Illinois) on April 21, 2011, and was charged with conspiracy to injure the property of a foreign government; providing material support to terrorists; aiding and abetting the killing of a citizen outside of the U.S.; and the bombing of places of public use,” the department said.

“According to the indictment, during the attacks, Mir advised the attackers to kill hostages, set fires, and throw grenades and also sought the release of a hostage in exchange for the release of a captured attacker.

A warrant for Mir’s arrest was issued

U.S. victims were threatened with arrest, imprisonment, fines or deportation if they did not pay alleged monies owed to the government. Those who fell victim were instructed how to provide payment, including by purchasing general purpose reloadable cards or wiring money, the release notes.

Upon payment, the call centers would immediately turn to a network of “runners” based in the United States to liquidate and launder the fraudulently obtained funds.

In his plea, Patel admitted to operating and funding several Indiabased call centers from which the fraud schemes were perpetrated, including the call center HGLOBAL, it said.

Patel corresponded by email and WhatsApp messaging frequently with his co-defendants to exchange credit card numbers, telephone scam scripts, and call center operations instructions. The scripts included IRS impersonation, USCIS impersonation, Canada Revenue Agency impersonation, Australian Tax Office impersonation, payday loan fraud, U.S. Government grant fraud, and debt collection fraud, according to the DoJ. A co-defendant described Patel as “the top person in India and the boss for whom most of the other defendants worked,” and the owner of multiple call centers.

Another co-defendant stated that Patel was arrested in India in 2016, but then paid a bribe and was released.

Additionally, Patel admitted that a reasonably foreseeable loss of more than $25 million but less than $65 million was attributable to him, based on the government’s evidence against him, the release adds.

Patel was prosecuted in the United States after being extradited from Singapore in April 2019 to face charges in this large-scale telefraud and money laundering scheme.

The indictment in this case, which was unsealed in October 2016, charged Patel and 60 other individuals and entities with general conspiracy, wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering conspiracy.

A total of 24 domestic defendants associated with this transnational criminal scheme were previously convicted and sentenced to terms of imprisonment of up to 20 years in the Southern District of Texas, District of Arizona and Northern District of Georgia, the release said.

The defendants were also ordered to pay millions of dollars in victim restitution and money judgments and to forfeit seized assets.

Massive Sinkhole Swallows SUV In New York City

A massive sinkhole opened up in New York City this Thanksgiving Day, swallowing an SUV. The vehicle, an unoccupied orange Toyota RAV4, was found nose-down in the sinkhole in Queens early on Thursday morning, reports the New York Post.

Luckily, the vehicle's owner was not inside it when the sinkhole swallowed it. According to NBC News, the SUV belongs to a livery driver who is counting his blessings for escaping what could have been a dangerous accident.

"I feel lucky today," said Thupten Topjy, whose shift usually begins around the time his SUV was swallowed up by the sinkhole.

Shocking photos from the scene were posted on Twitter by City Councilman Robert Holden, who said that the sinkhole led to the closure of certain streets in the neighbourhood. The New York City Fire Department and the city's police department both arrived at the spot but determined that there were no injuries.

The sight, however, was a shocking one for Thupten Topjy's brother, Wanzdi Sherpa.

n her letter, Sania Mirza credited American tennis player Serena Williams for inspiring her on her journey.

"It is often said that a woman has to choose between becoming a mother and chasing her dreams," she wrote. "Today, I write this letter sharing my journey and also a little bit about the inspiration I got from Serena Williams and her journey."

Speaking about the challenges of having a fulfilling career while being a mother, especially as a sportsperson, she wrote: "When it is sports, it is not something that comes naturally to families to say that we have a daughter and we want her to become a professional sportsperson.

"Things get even more precarious when one conceives and the first thing that clouds the judgement is whether I will be able to make a comeback or not?"

Her open letter had a special tribute for Serena Williams, mother to three-year-old Olympia.

"Having seen Serena, playing in the same era and being around her and watching her gripping documentary Being Serena was like watching her in reality. It shows so much about her personality, her fighting spirit, her

Mysterious Monolith Found In US Desert Draws Theories About Aliens, UFOs

12,000 Feet Above Sea Level, Milind Soman Is Working Out With A View Of Mount Everest

"The view from Phalut has to be seen to be believed The Kangchenjunga range on one side and Mt Everest on the other!" wrote Milind Soman Milind Soman needs no introduction and nor does his reputation of working out anywhere and everywhere. The 55-year-old actor-model recently trekked to Sandakphu, which is the highest peak in West Bengal at an elevation of 11,929 feet, and then when he reached his destination, celebrated with what appears to be clap pushups. Yup, that's Milind Soman for you.

Sharing a glimpse of him "flying", Milind Soman wrote about his experience on Instagram: "Sunrise closer to heaven!

The view from Phalut has to be seen to be believed The Kangchenjunga range on one side and Mt Everest on the other!"

Milind Soman's wok-out routine was preceded by a difficult 21 km-long trek: "After a hilly and seemingly unending 21 km trek from Sandakphu, the highest point in West Bengal at almost 12000 ft, you will be greeted with a landscape, a sunrise and sunset too spectacular to ever forget. You might even feel like you are flying."

"Tennis Is What I Love": Sania Mirza On Balancing Motherhood With A Career

An Outpouring Of Love For Meghan After She Opens Up About Miscarriage

Sania Mirza's "Ode to All Mothers" is an open letter to women across the world who balance family and personal goals every day.

Meghan and Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, had their first child, Archie, in May 2019.

passion and her will to succeed even after achieving so much," said Sania Mirza.

The Padma Bhushan recipient also spoke about her pregnancy, terming it an experience that every woman should go through for it "teaches you the selfless kind of love that at least I never knew existed for me." "I think pregnancy and having a baby made me a better person," wrote Sania Mirza.

She touched upon the topic of getting back in shape post-pregnancy to winning at Hobart earlier this year.

"Having put-on around 23kgs during my pregnancy, I wasn't sure if I was ever going to get back to being fit and playing tennis again.

"However, I lost around 26 kilos with a lot of workout regimes and very strict diets and came back to tennis because that's what I know, love and do."

Her win at Hobart she said was "pretty amazing", adding that she was proud of herself for competing on court again. She concluded her open letter by writing "It sometimes becomes hard to find hope in difficult situations but our love for our profession and family equally, helps as gain that balance" and ended with a shout-out to Serena Williams.

M

eghan, Britain's Duchess of Sussex, has revealed that she had a miscarriage in July this year. "I knew, as I clutched my firstborn child, that I was losing my second," she wrote in a powerful piece titled "The Losses We Share" for the New York Times.

Meghan and Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, had their first child, Archie, in May 2019.

In her essay - highly extraordinary coming from a high-profile British royal - Meghan spoke about the experience in detail. Writing of the "unbearable grief " of miscarrying a child, she recalled "Sitting in a hospital bed, watching my husband's heart break as he tried to hold the shattered pieces of mine."

"In the pain of our loss, my husband and I discovered that in a room of 100 women, 10 to 20 of them will have suffered from miscarriage," wrote Meghan, adding that the topic still remained taboo and riddled with unwarranted pain.

Her revelation has led to an outpouring

A mysterious metal "obelisk" found buried in the remote western United States desert has inflamed the imaginations of UFO spotters, conspiracy theorists and Stanley Kubrick fans around the world. The shiny, triangular pillar -- which protrudes approximately 12 feet from the red rocks of southern Utah -- was spotted last Wednesday by baffled local officials counting bighorn sheep from the air.

Landing to investigate, Utah Department of Public Safety crew members found "a metal monolith installed in the ground" but "no obvious indication of who might have put the monolith there." "It is illegal to install structures or art without authorization on federally managed public lands, no matter what planet you're from," warned the agency in a tongue-in-cheek press release Monday.

of love and support on social media.

Twitter has been flooded with messages of solidarity since the piece was published earlier today.

Several women came forward to thank her for speaking about the painful experience. Any trolling or hateful messages were swiftly and soundly criticised by her supporters, who urged others to show compassion.

Meghan's personal piece comes as she and her husband wage an increasingly public war with some media outlets over their right to privacy.

Harry and Meghan shocked the British establishment when they announced they were retiring from royal life.

Their withdrawal in March came after reports she was deeply unhappy with life inside the royal family and fed up with media intrusion.

Meghan has also spoken about the trolling she faced as a member of the British royal family and the "damaging" effect it had on her mental and emotional health.
