‘Dirty politics’ on to destabilise Maharashtra govt: Raut

Amid the second wave of the coronavirus infection spreading in the country, Prime Minister Modi had called for a virtual meeting with state CMs today to take stock of the situation.

HiIndia Newsdesk West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will skip the virtual meeting called

by Prime Minister Narendra Modi today to discuss the Covid-19 situation with state Chief Ministers.

Chief Secretary Alapan B andyopadhyay is likely to attend the meeting in place of the chief minister.

Amid the second wave of the coronavirus infection spreading in the country, Modi had called for a virtual meeting with state CMs to take stock of the situation.

The development also came amid a high-octane election campaign for Assembly election in West Bengal.

“Independent Probe Called For”: Supreme Court On Maharashtra vs Cop Case

Earlier this week, the prime minister also chaired a high-level meeting to review the C ovid vaccination program in the country.

Modi highlighted the need to enforce Covid appropriate behaviour in the coming days and ensure the availability of beds and testing facilities across the country.

India registered a record single-day spike of 1,26,789 new COVID-19 cases, pushing its infection tally to 1,29,28,574, while the number of active cases too went upwards to breach the nine lakh mark again, Union Health Ministry data showed.

HiIndia Newsdesk Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Thursday claimed “dirty politics” was being played out to destabilise the MVA government in Maharashtra and asserted that such attempts will not succeed.

Raut’s remarks came a day after suspended cop Sachin Waze in a letter claimed former state Home Minister Anil Deshmukh had demanded Rs 2 crore from him to continue his service in the Mumbai police and another minister Anil Parab asked him to collect money from contractors. Waze was arrested last month by the NIAin the case of an explosives-laden SUV found near industrialist Mukesh Ambani’s residence in south Mumbai and the death of businessman Mansukh Hiran.

BJP Claims “2 More Maharashtra Ministers Will Quit,” Calls It “Fit Case For President’s Rule”

HiIndia Newsdesk New Delhi: An independent probe is necessary in the matter of former Mumbai police commissioner Param Bir Singh’s allegations of corruption against former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh since both occupied such high positions in the government, the Supreme Court today said. The court observed that the two were even working closely together until they fall apart.

The Supreme Court’s comments came on an appeal by the Maharashtra government to stay a Bombay High Court order for a CBI probe into the allegations.

HiIndia Newsdesk Mumbai: Maharashtra BJP chief Chandrakant Patil today claimed two more state ministers will have to resign in 15 days and that the state was a “fit case for President’s rule”.

His remarks came a day after suspended cop Sachin Waze in a letter claimed former state Home Minister Anil Deshmukh had demanded ₹ 2 crore from him to continue his service in the Mumbai police and another minister Anil Parab asked him to collect money from contractors.

Anil Deshmukh, a senior NCP leader, resigned as state Home Minister on Monday after the Bombay High Court ordered a CBI probe into corruption allegations levelled against him by former Mumbai police commissioner Param Bir Singh.

Rohingya Refugees In Jammu Not To Mukhtar Ansari brought back to UP, Atiq Be Deported Without Due Process: SC Ahmad next: UP minister Anand Swarup HiIndia Newsdesk

New Delhi: The Supreme Court today said that Rohingya refugees detained in Jammu shall not be deported to Myanmar without following the prescribed process.

A bench headed by Chief Justice SA

Bobde passed the order on a plea seeking immediate release of detained Rohingya refugees in Jammu and a direction to restrain the Centre from deporting them to Myanmar.

The Centre had earlier opposed the plea saying that the country cannot be the capital for illegal immigrants.

During the arguments, advocate Prashant Bhushan, appearing for the petitioner, had said that Rohingya children were subjected to killing, maiming and sexual exploitation by the Myanmar military which has failed to respect international humanitarian law.

Violent attacks allegedly by Myanmar army have led to an exodus of Rohingya tribals from the western Rakhine state in that country to India and Bangladesh.

HiIndia Newsdesk A day after gangster-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari was brought back to the state from a prison in Punjab, Uttar Pradesh minister Anand Swarup Shukla on Thursday said jailed former parliamentarian and strongman Atiq Ahmad is next.

Five-time legislator and one-time MP

Ahmad, now over 60, has more than 90 criminal cases, including murder, abduction, illegal mining, extortion, intimidation and fraud, against him. He is lodged in a prison in Gujarat.

He was shifted there from Uttar Pradesh on the direction of the Supreme Court in 2019.

“The Uttar Pradesh government succeeded in bringing back Ansari despite several tricks by the Punjab government. Now we will try to bring Atiq Ahmad back from Gujarat,” Shukla told reporters here.

It is the duty of the state government to bring back such criminals to UP as they have to be punished for their crimes, he said. “Already a number of Ahmad’s lavish bungalows in Allahabad have been bulldozed,” the Uttar Pradesh Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs said.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah held a colourful road show here on Wednesday, once a hot spot of the anti-land acquisition movement, and promised rapid industrialisation of the area if BJP is voted to power.

The symbolism of the home minister holding a road show in Singur, three days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a rally there and alleged the “obstructionist mindset” of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee deprived West Bengal

of industries and jobs, was clear--the BJP wants to corner her over the state’s dwindling industrial base and alleged job loss.

Lustily cheered by crowds, Shah stood atop a decorated vehicle with BJP candidate for the Singur seat Rabindranath Bhattacharya, who recently joined the saffron party after leaving the Trinamool Congress, and smilingly waved at people standing by the roadside and on terraces and balconies.

HiIndia Newsdesk

Mumbai: Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh resigned today, “on moral grounds”, hours after the Bombay High Court ordered the CBI to carry out a preliminary probe within 15 days into former Mumbai police chief Param Bir Singh’s allegations against him.

Mr Deshmukh had rejected calls for his resignation for weeks, saying he had done nothing wrong.

“Since CBI is now going to investigate him, it is not correct for him to now stay on the position,” said a leader of Mr Deshmukh’s Nationalist Congress Party (NCP).

Param Bir Singh, who was recently replaced as Mumbai Police chief, has alleged in a petition that he was targeted because he had complained to Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray about Anil Deshmukh, listing several

allegations including extortion and illegal transfers.

“I have no comments to make,” Mr Singh had told reporters on the court order.

In the previous hearing, the High Court had asked Mr Singh repeatedly why no FIR was filed on his allegations against the Maharashtra Home Minister.

You are a police commissioner, why should the law be set aside for you? Are police officers, ministers and politicians all above the law? Are you saying that you are above the law?” Bombay High Court Chief Justice CJ Dutta had said.

“We cannot throw aside laws because the home minister and Chief Minister are involved. If a PM is involved who will investigate? You want a super power from outside?” Mr Singh had said what he had alleged in his petition were “hard facts coming from the person who occupied the highest post in the police force in the city and from someone who has served for more than 30 years.”

IMF chief worried about middle-income countries, urges expanded definition of ‘vulnerable’ The IMF’s Poverty Reduction and Growth Trust can currently only lend to the poorest countries, which limits the ability of developing countries with higher income levels to get low- or zero-interest loans from the IMF. HiIndia Newsdesk

HiIndia Newsdesk Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday signed legislation that could theoretically mean he stays in power till 2036, according to a copy of the bill posted on the government’s legal information portal. Under the previous constitution, Putin, 68, who has already been in power for more than two decades, would have been required to have stepped down after his second consecutive term ends in 2024.

But amendments approved by Russians in a nationwide vote last year allow him to run for two more six-year presidential terms.

The amendments were passed by the State Duma in late March.

The head of the International Monetary Fund on Wednesday said she would discuss with IMF members whether they back offering low- and nointerestMfinancing to middleincome countries hit hard by the pandemic, not just the poorest countries.

Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said she was concerned about tourism-dependent and other middle-income countries that had weaker fundamentals and high-debt levels, even before the pandemic, and generally backed

adoption of a broader definition of what makes a country “vulnerable”.

The IMF’s Poverty Reduction and Growth Trust can currently only lend to the poorest countries, which limits the ability of developing countries with higher income levels to get lowor zero-interest loans from the IMF. She said it was “realistic” that members could access the expanded reserves by mid-August, but declined to estimate how many SDRs would likely be shared by richer countries.

Recently, a photograph showing the construction near the masjid’s parapet triggered ire of activists. “Though it might be outside the masjid it is still going to spoil the view of the heritage site. It should be stopped so that other shop owners around the masjid also stop construction,” said Anuradha Reddy of Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage.

HiIndia Newsdesk A new ongoing construction outside the southern wall of the 400-year-old Mecca Masjid has again brought focus to the state of heritage preservation in Hyderabad. “It is illegal. We are planning to file a criminal complaint against the builders. Though it belongs to the Mecca Masjid, the Archaeological Survey of India and Telangana Heritage should take action. The work has however stopped,” said Mohammed Saleem, Chairman of Telangana State Wakf Board.

While Wakf officials say the work has been stopped, residents of the area say the work is going on in the night. Incidentally, it is the intersection of jurisdiction that is hobbling

Woman, lover arrested for killing husband

HiIndia Newsdesk Hyderabad: A woman and her lover were arrested by the Jubilee Hills police on Tuesday for allegedly murdering the former’s husband. The cops claimed to have solved the murder case of the deceased, whose body was found stuffed in a refrigerator in his apartment at Karmikanagar in Jubilee Hills.

The cops arrested the wife of the deceased, Rubeena and her lover in the case. Police officials said that both of them have planned and killed Mohammed Siddique Ahmed, who was murdered due to issues arising after he found out about the affair between Rubeena and Syed Mohammed Ali. On April 1, the deceased Mohammed Siddique Ahmed was found murdered at his residence and his dead body was stuffed in the fridge. According to Rajsekhar Reddy, Jubilee Hills police station inspector, family members of the deceased doubted his wife Rubeena, given her affair with Ali, who is a mechanic by profession. Police officials launched a hunt for Ali on Tuesday and took him into custody near the Yousufain Dargah.

During the course of interrogation, he confessed that he was having an affair with Rubeena for two years.

About one and half year back, both were caught red-handed at Ahmed’s flat, due to which the deceased first physically assaulted Ali and warned him with dire consequences. Ahmed also reportedly began torturing his wife Rubeena also.

Hyderabad researcher’s ‘breakthrough’ drone can adjust to the payload

HiIndia Newsdesk An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with adjustable arms, making it able to lift packages of different sizes and shapes, is the latest innovation from the researchers of the Robotics Research Center (RRC) at the International Institute of Information Technology (IIIT-H) in Hyderabad. ‘Elasticopter’, a patent-pending design developed by 24-year-old Suraj Bonagiri, is considered a big breakthrough in drone technology.

The journey from a novel design to a working prototype of a reconfigurable quadcopter emerged from the limitations of existing delivery drones which focus only on the weight of packages to be lifted while ignoring the size. As drones are designed for unique purposes and to carry specific payloads, any forcible fitting, and lifting of inappropriate payloads will lead to instability, inefficiency, and even compromise safety, Suraj says.

Deepika Padukone-starrer The Intern has added one of its key members to the cast, the actor announced on Monday. The Hindi adaptation of the Hollywood flick will see Deepika Padukone and Amitabh Bachchan sharing screen space once again after Piku. The film was originally announced with Deepika and late actor Rishi Kapoor in the lead.

Sharing a poster which featured the silhouettes of Padukone and Big B, Deepika wrote that she is honoured to be collaborating once again with her most ‘special costar’ Amitabh Bachchan. The text read, “What an absolute honour to be collaborating with one of my most special co-star again! Welcoming @amitabhbachchan to the Indian adaptation of #TheIntern.”

Actor and activist Dia Mirza took to social media to respond to a person who questioned the timing of her pregnancy announcement, saying that as women ‘we must always exercise our choice’.

Dia faced quite a lot of trolling as she announced her pregnancy last week after getting married in February. When a person questioned why the actor couldn’t announce her pregnancy before the wedding and break stereotypes as she did with a woman priest officiating at her wedding, the actor in response wrote, “Interesting question.

Firstly, we didn’t marry because we were having a baby together. We were already marrying as we wanted to spend our lives together. We discovered we were going to have a baby while we were planning our wedding. So this marriage is not the result of pregnancy. We didn’t announce the pregnancy until we knew its safe (medical reasons). This is the happiest news of my life. I’ve waited for many many years for this to happen. No way I would hide it for any reason other than medical.”

Akshay Kumar’s Sooryavanshi postponed yet again

Do you see the OTT platform as a viable alternative for the movietheatre experience?

At this moment I see no other viable option. The Government had announced a 100 percent capacity of audience attention. Then seeing the second wave of Corona they again reduced it to fifty percent. For a very long time in the coming months and years, the OTT is going to be the only viable medium of entertainment.

Is the OTT the only ahead for our cinema industry?

If you want to call it the way ahead, I would say it is the way ahead.

The OTT is a sea of entertainment to choose from. People have been consuming content in the OTT platform day-in and day-out.

To just be working at a time like this is a blessing for me. It’s great to be a part of such varied stories and to be working with talented directors who want to work with me. I am glad to remain relevant after so many years.

erstand it, the OTT platforms are expected to form their self-monitoring committees. would request these platforms to be sensitive to the creative material and not base of the content on assumptions. They should be very careful in their regulation. The of the OTT lies in its creative freedom. We must always value and preserve that freedom.

The makers of Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif-led Sooryavanshi on Monday announced they have postponed the film’s release date indefinitely owing to the surge in the coronavirus cases in Maharashtra. The decision came a day after Maharashtra government announced night curfew and a weekend lockdown to curb the rising COVID-19 cases in the state, under which theatres will remain shut till April 30, which is Sooryavanshi’s release date.

The film’s team, in its official statement, termed the decision taken by director Rohit Shetty “brave and difficult”. Shetty informed Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray his decision in a virtual meeting held on Sunday, according to the statement.

“The Honorable Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Mr Uddhav Thackeray had a discussion with director Rohit Shetty yesterday. In the meeting, Mr Uddhav Thackeray appreciated Rohit Shetty as he took the brave and difficult decision of postponing Sooryavanshi owing to the current COVID situation in the state,” read the makers’ statement.

Planning your outfit for your next intimate brunch? The actor’s denim dress featuring a square neckline and relaxed A-line silhouette will give a playful spin to your otherwise staple denim wardrobe. Take it out for a picnic in the sun or a cute brunch with your friends in a café.

Priyanka Chopra’s closet to inspire your summer buys Priyanka Chopra has a penchant for bright colours, especially yellow, which turns out to be the one of Pantone’s colours of 2021. This garden-party ready look by the star featured a red and green floral pattern, thigh-high slit and wispy bell sleeves.

Striking the perfect balance between practical and au courrant, Priyanka Chopra’s dress collection is one you need to check out

Lost 60 kg in four years

No dress collection is complete without a comfy yet sexy slip dress. For a day out in New York City, Priyanka Chopra opted for an effortless midi. The sea-inspired print and luxe texture made it perfect for a date night. The star kept the styling minimal with a top-handle mini bag and nude opentoe sandals.

Sharing my weight loss experience I am 42 years old.

And You would not believe, I did not require anything fancy to do so.

The things I completely avoided while achieving my 60kg weight loss in a span of 4 years were:-

Avoided Too much caffeine

(instead had lots of water) Unhealthy snacking and eating when I not hungry or starving myself when I am very hungry( always did listen to what my body told me)

Before buying, make sure your hand cream has these nourishing ingredients While looking for a moisturising hand cream, you can save a lot of effort by opting for ingredients that are calming in nature. This is important because constant washing can end up compromising the skin barrier. “Try looking for plant-based herbal products that have certain key ingredients which are nourishing, healing, and hydrating to the skin,” says Paritala. * Shea butter to nourish your skin * Jojoba oil and cocoa butter for maintaining the skin barrier * Witch hazel extract and aloe vera extract to calm down inflammation * Vitamin E for quick cell turnover “These are all nature-derived products that are extremely healthy and nourishing for your skin. The ingredients lock in the moisture for a prolonged effect and also have healing properties,” the co-founder added.

Avoided Fancy fad diets

I chose the form of workout which I enjoyed like light strength training and brisk walks or jogging

Avoided Sugar completely

(now I do have it once in a while as a cheat meal, but not everyday) Use of too much table salt (so many organic salts are available try them they are equally yummy )and stopped adding extra salt to my food.

Avoided being impatient and gave my body enough time

Weight loss journey without any ‘fancy diets’

Ria Ankola, wife of actor Salil Ankola, shared her weight loss experience in an Instagram post giving major fitness goals

(there were times I only lost 2 kgs a month but I was ok with it) I did not isolate myself from social gatherings and family dinners( but chose what to eat from the table) Well the above were a few points from my own experience, will tell you about some more things soon, stay tuned Losing weight is not as difficult as it looks just that you need to stay focused and determined. I would like to thank my husband @salilankola who always inspired me to stay fit and my children for being such a big support all Through my journey!!

Everything You Never Wanted to Know About

Your diet soda might just be worse than a regular one.

There are a lot of myths about artificial sweeteners. The main one is that they’re actually better for you than regular sugar. Low-calorie sweeteners have been around for decades now, and we’re finally at a point where we’ve studied them enough to understand roughly how

W

e hate to be that guy, but “well, actually …” a lot of the evidence suggests you’d be better off just trying to cut back on the regular soda. It does seem like having fewer calories should help you lose weight, but studies indicate that weight loss isn’t as simple as calories in versus out. You can trick your tastebuds (sort of) into thinking that aspartame or saccharin is the sugar you crave, but your brain isn’t so simple.

More and more evidence is piling up that suggests the diet drink trend is misguided. Or as one 2008 study on obesity and artificial sweeteners asked in its conclusion: “are [artificial sweeteners] fueling—rather than fighting—the very epidemic they were designed to block?”

A few recent studies suggest that consuming fake sugar actually trains your insulin response to store more fat, not less. Basically when you consume real sugar, your tastebuds send an alert to your pancreas that says, “Hey, calories are on the way! Prepare to produce insulin!”

The insulin then helps break down the sugars, which either provide immediate energy or go into fat cells for storage. If your body interprets something as sweet when there’s not really sugar on the table, though, it may end up producing that same insulin response.

So that diet soda is still prompting your pancreas to store fat, even though you’re not getting to enjoy real sugar—your brain can tell the difference. Artificial sweeteners don’t trigger our reward circuits the same way, so you don’t get the satisfaction of ingesting sugar.

And on top of that, constantly pumping up your

they work and what effect they have on our bodies. A study presented at the 2018 Experimental Biology meeting has re-raised all these issues and also re-confirmed what researchers have been thinking for years: artificial sweeteners might actually cause obesity, not prevent it.

Erm … is that whole cancer thing true?

Let’s get this one out of the way. While it is true that some rodent studies found increased rates of certain kinds of cancer, like leukemia, after eating artificial sweeteners, subsequent testing has shown that you don’t need to worry about getting cancer from your diet soda. You’d have to regularly consume astronomical doses of the stuff. On the other hand, we do know that obesity is a major risk factor for many kinds of cancer, so maybe focus on that instead of sucralose. insulin response eventually leads it to malfunction.

This is essentially what happens in type 2 diabetes, but can occur to a lesser—but still harmful—extent in otherwise healthy people. Eventually your pancreas starts producing too much insulin in response to all food, making you pack on the pounds.

This whole theory is still being tested, but it’s in

line with what we observe in people who drink diet beverages: they tend to gain weight. In observational studies you can’t tell whether that’s causative or if it’s just that overweight people tend to drink more diet soda than people at a healthy weight. One clue is that scientists observe what’s known as a dose response. The more artificial sweeteners people consume, the more weight they seem to put on. That suggests it might be the fake sugars themselves that prompt the gain in poundage, not just an association.

Since artificial sweeteners don’t satisfy your brain the way real sugar does, though, you don’t sate the craving. You’ll keep hankering after sweet foods and will probably end up eating more calories overall. That adds up to more pounds than you would’ve gained just by eating that cupcake in the first place.

And if you need a more compelling reason, let us all remember the infamous story of the cocaine-addicted rats who preferred sweets over drugs. A 2007 study got a bunch of rats hooked on cocaine and saccharin, then given a choice—cocaine or fake sugar?—most chose the sugar substitute. They were so addicted to saccharin that the researchers wrote they couldn’t give the rats enough cocaine to overcome their desire for a hit of sweetness. The same was true for real sugar.

That’s a powerful addiction, and it shouldn’t be underestimated. You can absolutely quit sugar, real or fake, just like people can absolutely quit cocaine. You just need to take it seriously as an addiction. Don’t think it’ll be easy.

What if I’m just using it to bridge the gap while I quit sugar altogether?

L

ots of people switch to diet soda as they’re trying to lose weight, in the hope that the fake stuff will be a satisfactory substitute for real sugar. As we’ve already mentioned, it’s not actually satisfying, and what’s more you’ll probably end up handicapping yourself by trying to trick your brain.

Like people who start exercising, people who drink diet beverages start thinking about how they’re now down on their calorie-count, and whether consciously or subconsciously they often compensate by eating more overall.

More calories on average can end up causing more harm to your weight loss goals than the occasional candy bar would have.

You’ll also probably start losing your ability to appreciate more subtle flavors. David Ludwig, a weight-loss specialist at Boston Children’s Hospital, told Harvard Health this about how our tastes can change: “Non-nutritive sweeteners are far more potent than table sugar and high-fructose corn syrup. A miniscule amount produces a sweet taste comparable to that of sugar, without comparable calories. Overstimulation of sugar receptors from

frequent use of these hyper-intense sweeteners may limit tolerance for more complex tastes.” That means naturally sweet foods like peaches won’t taste nearly as good, and anything without that hint of sweetness might end up seemingly completely gross.

Ludwig notes too that natural sources of sugar, like fruit, often don’t have the same effect on our insulin responses that candy and cake do. Fiber and other nutrients in fruit help keep your blood sugar levels lower, rather than spiking suddenly, and thus prevents your body from storing all those calories as fat.

So what the heck am I supposed to do when I’m craving sweets!?

Here’s the good news: you can eat real sugar! You should eat real sugar. Just eat it in moderation. Satisfy the craving with a mini candy bar (or heck, even a whole piece of cake). Just try to make your overall eating habits as healthy as possible. Occasional sugar won’t make you pack on the pounds. It’s the constant insulin spikes and misleading artificial sweeteners that get you. Have your cake and eat it too—just don’t eat it every day.

Rishabh Pant aims to do something different in first match as captain against ‘Mahi Bhai’

HiIndia Newsdesk Rishabh Pant cannot wait to start his captaincy stint with Delhi Capitals against mentor Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings, hoping to use “learnings” from the iconic former skipper to upstage him in the IPL clash on Saturday.

Delhi will take on Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings here on Saturday. The 23-year-old highly rated wicketkeeperbatsman cannot wait to start his stint as a leader in that match.

“My first match as captain will be against Mahi (MS Dhoni) bhai. It will be a good experience for me as I have learned a lot from him. I have my own experience as a player as well.

“I’ll apply my own experience and the learnings from MS Dhoni, and try to do something different against CSK,” Pant was quoted as saying in a press release

Delhi will take on Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings here on Saturday. The 23-year-old highly rated wicketkeeper-batsman cannot wait to start his stint as a leader in that match.

issued by Delhi Capitals.

The effervescent youngster has endured a roller-coaster ride in international cricket, gaining in prominence and respect in the past few months with his gutsy batting and drastically improved keeping.

He often draws comparisons with Dhoni but has maintained that he is aiming for a space of his own even though he does turn to the senior player for advice and mentorship.

Pant, who has scored 2,079 runs in 68 IPL matches, said he would be working hard to give DC its maiden IPL title. “…I am looking forward to making most of this opportunity. We haven’t won a title yet and I will try my level best to get a title this year. We’ve been playing nicely as a team from last two-three years and our preparations are going on well,” he said.

North Korea pulls out of ‘French Open postponement a possibility’ Tokyo Olympics HiIndia Newsdesk French Sports Minister Roxana Maracineanu said it was possible t he Fre nch O p e n c ou l d b e postoned for the second year amid the COVID-19 crisis.

France entered a third nationwide lockdown on Saturday to contain the coronavirus spread, although professional sports have largely been spared. An exception is cycling’s Paris-Roubaix one-day race, which has been postponed from its original April 11 slot.

The French Open, which last year was postponed by four months and took place in front of limited crowds, is due to start this year on May 23.

“We are in discussion with them (the French Tennis Federation, which organises the event) to see if we should change the date to coincide with a possible resumption of all sports and major events,” Maracineanu told France Info radio late on Saturday.

“Today, although high-level sport has been preserved, we try to limit the risks of clusters, of spreading the virus within professional sports.”

President Emmanuel Macron said on Wednesday that he was expecting to re-open the country in mid-May.

HiIndia Newsdesk North Korea said on Tuesday it would not take part in the Tokyo Olympics due to coronavirus concerns, dashing South Korean hopes that the Games could be a catalyst to revive peace talks. It will be the first time North Korea has missed a summer Olympics since it boycotted the Seoul games in 1988, during the Cold War. South Korean president Moon Jae-in had hoped the two countries, still technically at war after their 1950-53 conflict ended in a truce, not a peace treaty, could field a combined team in Tokyo and rebuild momentum for an improvement in relations. The North’s withdrawal is also a setback for Moon and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s plan, agreed in 2018, to pursue a joint Korean bid to host the 2032 Games.

MS Dhoni announces Brazilian model Carol Tozaki ends ‘intense’ animated spy series romance with footballer Danny Drinkwater ‘Captain 7’ HiIndia Newsdesk Former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni is set to produce an animated series, titled “Captain 7”.

The first season of the spy series, which is currently in pre-production, will be based on Dhoni, the makers said in a statement.

The seven in the title refers to Dhoni’s jersey number which he donned in many one-day international matches.

The project is a joint venture between Mahendra Singh Dhoni and wife Sakshi Singh Dhoni’s production house Dhoni Entertainment Pvt Ltd and Black White Orange Brands Pvt Ltd. (BWO).

Billed as the country’s first “animated spy universe”, the show will launch with its first season in 2022.

HiIndia Newsdesk Brazilian stunner Carol Tozaki has claimed that she ended her whirlwind 18-month romance with Chelsea football star Danny Drinkwater to focus on her modelling career.

According to a report in UK’s news agency, Jam Press, Tozaki labelled the romance as intense.

Talking about her relationship with

the England footballer, Tozaki told the agency: “It was such an intense relationship of one-and-a-half years.

I was together in many important moments of his career. I would always have a huge affection for him. It was a great time in my life, but it was not what I liked to do, so I decided to go out and pursue my modelling profession.”

Bio-bubble is tough but Indians more tolerant: Sourav Ganguly

HiIndia Newsdesk Indians are “more tolerant” to deal with mental health issues than cricketers from countries like England and Australia, BCCI president Sourav Ganguly said on Tuesday as he acknowledged the challenge the strict bio-secure environments pose for the players.

Ever since the international cricket resumed, the players have been forced to stay in bio-bubbles, where their life is restricted to hotels and stadiums.

MS Dhoni becomes shareholder in F&B startup

HiIndia Newsdesk Budding cricketers are not the only ones getting inspired by Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s iconic helicopter shot as it has now become the inspiration for artisanal chocolates launched on Tuesday by food and beverage startup 7InkBrews, where the former India captain is also a shareholder.

The company based out of Mumbai is founded by Mohit Bhagchandani and co-founded by Adil Mistry and Kunal Patel. The new range of chocolates and beverages (nonalcoholic and alcoholic) have been launched under the brand Copter7 — inspired by the iconic Dhoni shot and his shirt number.

Shikha Pandey returns to top 10 in ICC Women’s ODI Player Rankings

HiIndia Newsdesk India opener Smriti Mandhana, fast bowler Jhulan Goswami and allrounder Deepti Sharma remained static but pacer Shikha Pandey regained her place in the top 10 in the latest ICC women’s ODI rankings issued on Tuesday. Mandhana occupies the seventh spot with 710 points, followed by skipper Mithali Raj (709) at eighth in the batting rankings.

Sale of French Rafale jet fighters to India:

How a state scandal was buried?

Ne w D e l h i : A F r e n c h a nt i corruption agency allegedly raised red flags over a suspicious payment made by Dassault Aviation to an Indian defence company in 2017-18, according to a new report published

by Paris-based investigative news website Mediapart, in a development that places a fresh spotlight over the controversial 2016 Rafale deal.

The report claims that the Rafale jet maker was unable to adequately provide documentation for this 2017 contract for aircraft models, leading the anti-corruption agency’s inspectors to suspect that it was a “bogus purchase” or one that was designed to conceal a middleman payment.

What is likely to raise further eyebrows is that the Indian defence company’s owners are closely connected to alleged defence agent Sushen Gupta, who is under investigation by the CBI in the AgustaWestland case.

HiIndia has not been able to independently verify these claims, but the media report notes that the anticorruption body ultimately decided not to refer the matter to French prosecution authorities for further investigation and legal action.

findings.

The AFA inspectors who found this purported transaction then asked Dassault for explanations: Why had the Rafale jet maker asked an Indian company to make models of its own aircraft, each the size of a small car, at 20,000 euros a pop? And why was this expenditure recorded as a ‘gift to client’?

According to the Mediapart report, the Dassault Group was not able to provide the AFA with a “single document showing that these models existed and were delivered”.

No recommendation for prosecution

The Indian company at the heart of this aircraft model contract – Defsys Solutions – is apparently one of Dassault’s sub-contractors in India on the Rafale contract.

“Defsys belongs to the Gupta family, whose members have acted as middlemen in the aeronautical and defence industries for three generations. In January 2019 of €20,357,” the report added, quoting the AFA audit the Indian media – first Cobrapost and then the The report claims that the Rafale jet maker was Economic Times – revealed that one family member, Sushen Gupta, operated as an agent for Dassault, had unable to adequately provide documentation worked on the Rafale contract and had allegedly obtained confidential documents from India’s for this 2017 contract for aircraft models, Ministry of Defence,” the Mediapart report noted. leading the anti-corruption agency’s inspectors “By coincidence, it was this middleman who sent the Aircraft models to suspect that it was a “bogus purchase” or one one-million-euro invoice for the jet fighter models to The suspicious transaction was unearthed by the Agence Française Anticorruption (AFA) – a body that was designed to conceal a middleman payment.
