टीम इंडिया की एशिया कप से पहले एक बड़ी टेंशन दूर होती दिख रही. चोट के कारण WTC Final नहीं खेलने वाले धाकड़ खिलाड़ी ने नेट्स पर अभ्यास शुरू कर दिया है. भारत को इस खिलाड़ी की कमी महसूस हुई थी. एशिया कप में ये खिलाड़ी वापसी कर सकता है. ऐसा होता है तो विश्व कप में भी खेलने की उम्मीद बढ़ जाएगी.

Amid Heavy Rain Weather Office Issues Yellow Alert For Delhi

The India Meteorological Department on Monday issued a 'yellow alert' for the national capital while the Yamuna River in Delhi, which was flowing above warning level for hours, crossed the danger mark of 205.33 metres at 5 pm on Monday, the latest data from the flood control department said.

Moreover, Delhi Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj stated that the government is on alert mode and that is fully prepared to control the situation after the administration issued a flood alert following the release of a significant amount of water, totaling over one lakh cusecs, into the Yamuna River from the Hathnikund barrage by Haryana. Additionally, at 1 pm on Monday, 1,90,837 cusecs of water was released from the same barrage.

Roads in several parts of the capital were submerged in knee-deep water as it was inundated with 153 millimetres of rain, the highest precipitation in a single day in July in 40 years.

"Delhi government is on full alert. As the water will go above 206 metres, we will start shifting people, living on the banks. The process of taking them safely to the relief camp will be started. Earlier we were feeling that the water level would cross 205 meters on June 11, but it has crossed 205 meters today itself because more water is being released from Haryana," he told ANI.

According to the flood bulletin, the water level at the Old Railway Bridge increased 205.4 metres at 5 pm on Monday.

The water level in Yamuna is rising continuously as Haryana released more water into the river from the Hathnikund barrage amid rains across northwest India including the national capital.

IMD further stated that Delhi witnessed 16 cm of rainfall over the national capital after 41 years.

Speaking with ANI, IMD Senior Scientist Dr Soma Sen Roy said, "The interaction zone is being persisting for the last 3-4 days and the monsoon trough was earlier dipping into eastern and Bay of Bengal. The monsoon eastern has moved away from the Bay of Bengal, moisture from Bay of Bengal has seized, but from the Arabian Sea moisture has started to flow because a low-pressure system has formed. As this interaction is not a very common phenomenon, but when a westerly system and an easterly system interact and this interaction is relatively less common, but because of that after 41 years we have got around 16cm rainfall and on Sunday, we got more than 10cm rainfall over Delhi. Particularly for today also, we have given up to 12cm rainfall. It might be more. We are monitoring and we will keep you informed."

There is a yellow alert for Delhi today and if necessary we will upgrade the alert level as well as the rainfall warning based on the main region of interaction, Mr Roy added.

On warning, Mr Roy said, "For Delhi, we are issuing alerts at subdivision level or state level. From our meteorological centres, district-level warnings are being issued for the districts which are likely to be affected by flash floods, landslides, heavy rain and thunderstorm'.

Speaking about if it's common to witness such heavy rainfall that Delhi has been experiencing during monsoon, Mr Roy said, "Such rainfall may not have happened in Delhi, but it has happened in the past. It is not a very uncommon feature of monsoon whether easterly system or westerly system interact. Only this time it has happened after 41 years over Delhi. So, we are seeing this kind of intense spell over Delhi. If you remember, in 2013, the Uttarakhand episode, there was a low pressure system which moved from the Bay of Bengal and there was much deeper moisture coming in and that also interacted with westerly trough."

The Delhi Traffic Police issued a situation alert of water logging at several places, uprooting of trees, underpasses were inundated such as under the Minto bridge, the Pragati Maidan tunnel and the Kalindi Kunj underpass were flooded.

He also issued a warning for diseases and asked people to remain cautious and not to be adventurous and stay protected, follow the forecast.

Earlier today, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that there is no flood threat in Delhi due to the rise in water level of Yamuna, following two days of heavy rain in the national capital and adjoining areas.

Waterlogging issues were also observed in diplomatic enclaves such as Chanakyapuri, Kaka Nagar, Bharti Nagar, and other prominent roads and colonies under the jurisdiction of the NDMC.

Delhi Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj said that the government is in alert mode and that is fully prepared to control the situation. 

"Delhi government is on full alert. As the water will go above 206 metres, we will start shifting people, living on the banks. The process of taking them safely to the relief camp will be started. Earlier we were feeling that the water level would cross 205 meters on June 11, but it has crossed 205 meters today itself because more water is being released from Haryana," he told ANI.

Earlier in the day, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that there is no flood threat in Delhi due to the rise in the water level of Yamuna, following two days of heavy rain in the national capital and adjoining areas.

He also urged all political parties to refrain from blame games stating that it was not the time to "point fingers" at each other."A flood-like situation unlikely to arise in Delhi. Government is prepared to deal with any situation," he said addressing a press conference here after a meeting to review the city's handling of the heavy rainfall

.Kejriwal said, "It is not the time to point fingers and single out anybody." He added that evacuation of people from low-lying areas around Yamuna will commence once the river breaches the 206-metre mark.The IMD has issued an orange alert for today in the national capital.

Ahead of the review meeting today Delhi's Public Works Department (PWD) minister Atishi inspected the Yamuna River's water level.

The national capital recorded 153 mm of rainfall in 24 hours ending at 8:30 am on Sunday, the highest in a single day in July since 1982, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said.

Several parts of northwest India witnessed a heavy spell of rain with Delhi shattering a 41-year record on Sunday, IMD said.

'Survivor Syndrome': Ukraine Refugees Cope With Guilt Of Fleeing War

Ukrainian refugee Lana Lisetska has forgiven herself for "being saved" and is rebuilding her life thanks to a programme that tackles the often overlooked mental health struggles of people fleeing the war.

"For the first few months I was suffering from what they call 'Survivor Syndrome'," said Ms Lisetska, who fled to neighbouring Moldova with her seven-year-son just after the outbreak of the war more than a year ago.

"You know you are safe but inside you have this feeling of guilt, that you have betrayed your country and your parents."

Ms Lisetska, 32, left her husband and her friends behind to get her son to safety and is now living at a Moldovan refugee centre at Nisporeni close to the border with Romania. But she never took off her little heart pendant in the blue and yellow colours of her homeland.

She would burst into tears in the strangest of times and places, even when she was at the hairdresser. "There were people in Mariupol and in Bucha who had nothing to eat then" and here she was getting her hair cut, she remembered thinking.

But the "most terrible thing is when you learn to live with that" as if it were normal, she told AFP.

But thanks to help from psychologists from Doctors of the World, Ms Lisetska has got a job with a company handling hotel reservations.

You Suppress A Lot

Moldavia, which like neighbouring Ukraine was once part of the Soviet Union, is hosting more than 100,000 Ukrainian refugees -- a major challenge for a poor country of only 2.6 million people.

It has got support from some 40 major humanitarian organisations including Doctors of the World, which has made refugees' mental health problems a priority.

"It's a critical area where we can provide support," Liz Devine, its American-born general coordinator there told AFP.

"The thing about mental health as it doesn't always come out at first... It's kind of panic and fear in the early days," she added.

"You can suppress a lot and these issues can manifest themselves in different ways over the course of time."

Ms Devine said 86 percent of Ukrainian refugees in Moldova are women and children.

"That's an incredibly high ratio compared to what you'd find in other refugee" situations.

"The husbands, the brothers and the sons remain in Ukraine either to fight or to provide other support" for the war effort.

So feelings of being isolated and all alone are common. Even surrounded by pictures of her family back in Ukraine, Elena Bavyko felt that acutely. The photos are also a reminder of her ultimate goal -- to return home.

If she is doing better now, it is down to the psychological support she has received, she believed.

Art Therapy

"I discovered an absolutely new method in group sessions, where we could cry and talk about our problems together," the 23-year-old said.

"When you hear someone else's story, you understand that you are not alone in this, and it becomes easier," she added.

Ms Bavyko has since begun helping other Ukrainians who have fled with the NGO Acted.

Like Larissa Demcenco, a lawyer from Odesa who is now living in the Moldovan capital Chisinau with her 20-year-old daughter, she also found art therapy very useful.

"You paint and try to visualise your dreams," said Ms Demcenco, who has now got a job working with children.

"Our mission is now to go back to Ukraine and use these techniques with those who had stayed on and suffered there."

Most of the 686,000 Ukrainians who poured over the border into Moldova thought their stay there would be brief. Many moved on to other countries, or went home. But for those with no choice but to stay, the war dragging on has thrown up new problems.

Doctors of the World said many are "exhausted by not being able to predict what the future might bring", which for the most vulnerable can lead to "an endemic state of stress".

It is also trying to support overstretched frontline workers dealing with refugees using a programme called "Help the helpers" it developed in Lebanon.

"It is hard to watch what Ukrainian refugees are going through," said Moldovan Nadia Pascaru Botnaru, 41, the local head of the People In Need organisation.

"We ourselves are also living under the threat" of a Russian invasion. "You say to yourself, 'Maybe it will be us next.'"

"Can't Assume Woman Is Subservient To Her Husband": Delhi High Court

A wife is not a mere appendage of her husband and retains her individual entity and natural right to pursue her dreams and aspirations to be financially independent or do meaningful social work, the Delhi High Court has said.

Justice Najmi Waziri, while dealing with a petition by a landlord challenging the dismissal of his plea by a lower court for eviction of his tenant, also said it cannot be assumed that the wife is subservient to her husband and is obliged to disclose to or share with her husband details of all her finances.

"A wife is neither an appendage of nor an adjunct to her husband. Her identity does not merge with or get subsumed in her husband's identity. In law, she retains her individual entity. She retains her natural right to pursue her dreams, aspirations and the desire and need to be financially independent or otherwise do some meaningful social work," observed the court in a judgment on July 7.

"There cannot be an assumption that the wife is subservient to her husband and is obliged to disclose to or share with her husband details of all her financials," Justice Waziri said.

The petitioner landlord had sought eviction of the tenant from his shop in Sadar Bazar on the ground that his two married daughters were unemployed and wished to utilise the property for their commercial aspirations.

The eviction petition was dismissed by the lower court on several grounds including that the landlord's wife ran a hotel and he did not disclose aspects of this business, and that the daughters were well settled in their matrimonial life and had never worked before.

Directing the tenant to vacate the property, the court observed, "Idle luxuriation may not be the life-goal of many a woman or to be simply known as a rich man's wife" and under the law, a tenant can be evicted on the need of landlord's dependants which includes married daughters.

"There is a certain self-worth which a person acquires by running her or his own business/commercial enterprise, vocation and professional activity. This aspiration cannot be questioned in proceedings for eviction of a tenant on the ground of bonafide requirement of the tenanted premises," the court said.

"Ordinarily, for a daughter, irrespective of her matrimonial status, her paternal/maternal home is always a psychological, physical and emotional sanctuary, a place to which she can relate and return to freely, irrespective of how far she is geographically located from her parents. The law provides for eviction of a tenant on the need of dependants. Married daughters are included among dependents of their parents, for commercial/residential space," it added.

The court further observed that the status of financial well-being of a landlord or his wife and dependent children is not the test of bonafide requirement, and what was to be seen was whether there was a suitable alternative accommodation available with the landlord for him to use or for providing the same to his daughters.

The court opined in the present case, the landlord had established a case for eviction of the tenant as it noted, "The married daughters are dependent upon their father for space to start their business in Delhi. The dependency was not pleaded on the husbands. The petition is maintainable. The daughters' need continues, so does the need of the petitioner."

Cops Attach Gangster's Assets Worth Over Rs 17 Crore In Noida

Gautam Buddh Nagar police on Monday attached "ill-gotten properties" including houses and shops estimated to be worth over Rs 17 crore belonging to a gangster, officials said.

Gangster Amit Kasana, an active member of the Randeep Bhati gang, is involved in over three dozens cases of loot, extortion, abduction and murder, they said.

"The Gautam Buddh Nagar police commissioner (Laxmi Singh) had issued orders for attaching immovable properties belonging to Amit Kasana under provisions of Section 14 (1) of the Uttar Pradesh Gangsters and Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act," Additional DCP (Greater Noida) Ashok Kumar said.

"Today, in pursuance of the orders, a two-storey house located at Ristal village in Ghaziabad worth over Rs 3 crore and a house along with some shops in Asalatpur village in Ghaziabad worth over Rs 14 crore have been attached as per legal procedures," Kumar said.

The total value of the attached immovable properties is Rs 17.23 crore, according to the police.

Section 14 (1) of the Uttar Pradesh Gangsters and Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act allows for attachment of illegal properties in order to effectively curb gangsters, mafias and criminals and their associates.

Police warned of similar strict action against criminals in future for the purpose of curbing organised crime.

Paytm CEO Raises Concern After OpenAI's Blog On 'Human Extinction'. Read His Post

Paytm CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma has raised concerns after a blog post by ChatGPT creator OpenAI. The blog post expressed the inability to have a solution for controlling a superintelligent AI and preventing it from going rogue. It also said that superintelligent AI can lead to disempowerment and even possibly human extinction.

Vijay Shekhar Sharma tweeted, " Here is the OpenAI blog post done this week: In less than 7 years we have a system that may lead to the disempowerment of humanity and even human extinction. I am genuinely concerned with the power some set of people and select countries have accumulated - already."

The OpenAI blog post said: "Superintelligence will be the most impactful technology humanity has ever invented and could help us solve many of the world's most important problems. But the vast power of superintelligence could also be very dangerous and could lead to the disempowerment of humanity or even human extinction. While superintelligence seems far off now, we believe it could arrive this decade."

Superintelligent AI - systems more intelligent than humans - could arrive this decade, the blog post's authors predicted. Humans will need better techniques than currently available to be able to control the superintelligent AI, hence the need for breakthroughs in so-called "alignment research," which focuses on ensuring AI remains beneficial to humans, according to the authors.

OpenAI, backed by Microsoft, is dedicating 20 per cent of the computing power it has secured over the next four years to solve this problem, they wrote. In addition, the company is forming a new team that will organise around this effort, called the Superalignment team.

The team's goal is to create a "human-level" AI alignment researcher, and then scale it through vast amounts of compute power. OpenAI says that means they will train AI systems using human feedback, train AI systems to assist human evaluation, and then finally train AI systems to actually do the alignment research.

AI safety advocates Connor Leahy said the plan was fundamentally flawed because the initial human-level AI could run amok and wreak havoc before it could be compelled to solve AI safety problems.

"You have to solve alignment before you build human-level intelligence, otherwise by default, you won't control it," he said in an interview. "I personally do not think this is a particularly good or safe plan."

The potential dangers of AI have been top of mind for both AI researchers and the general public. In April, a group of AI industry leaders and experts signed an open letter calling for a six-month pause in developing systems more powerful than OpenAI's GPT-4, citing potential risks to society. A May Reuters/Ipsos poll found that more than two-thirds of Americans are concerned about the possible negative effects of AI and 61 percent believe it could threaten civilisation.

Video: Road At Delhi Minister Atishi's House Flooded BJP Takes A Swipe

The road in front of the official residence of Delhi minister Atishi was flooded after two days of heavy rain. Visuals show the water entered the property's front area behind the gate.

Atishi, the Public Works Department (PWD) Minister, had been going on rounds of the city to meet engineers and inspect flooded areas.

"Rain has broken the record of decades. Due to such a torrential rain, Ring Road near ITO is flooded despite having a pumping station," Atishi tweeted in Hindi.

बारिश ने दशकों का रिकॉर्ड तोड़ दिया है। इतनी मूसलाधार बारिश के कारण पंपिंग स्टेशन होने के बावजूद रिंग-रोड पर ITO के पास पानी भर गया है।

She said she has asked engineers to increase the number of pumps to drain out a larger volume water faster from the area.

Heavy rain bettered Delhi for two days. The weather office said it was the highest 24-hour rainfall in the national capital in 40 years.

Delhi BJP chief Virendraa Sachdeva tweeted many areas in the city were flooded due to poor infrastructure development under the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government led by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

"Corruption in the Kejriwal government is so rampant that the bungalow of PWD Minister Atishi on the recently renovated Mathura Road has been submerged," Mr Sachdeva tweeted along with a video that shows the front area of Atishi's home.

3 Killed After Car Hit By Landslide Falls Into Ganga In Uttarakhand

Three people were killed and three others were missing after a vehicle hit by a landslide fell into the Ganga River in Tehri Garhwal district on Sunday, officials said.

The vehicle was carrying 11 people, including the driver, police said, adding five of them were rescued and admitted to a government hospital in Rishikesh. They were on their way to Rishikesh from Kedarnath.

Personnel of the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) and local police have reached the spot and a rescue and relief operation is underway, Inspector Ritesh Shah, in-charge of Muni Ki Reti Police Station said.

Inspector Kavendra Sajwan of the SDRF said three bodies have been fished out from the river while a team of divers is conducting an operation to find the other passengers.

The victims were residents of Delhi, Bihar, and Hyderabad, he said.

According to police, the accident took place in the Muni Ki Reti area on the Rishikesh-Badrinath National Highway.

The driver lost control of the car after it was hit by a landslide. It then skidded off the road and fell into the Ganga River, Shah said Meanwhile, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has urged people to be vigilant because of landslides due to heavy rains and overflowing rivers.

Due to bad weather and excessive rainfall, incidents of landslides, road closures and overflowing rivers and streams were reported. Instructions were given to all district magistrates and the Disaster Management Department to remain alert, he said.

The chief minister also urged pilgrims visiting the state to plan their travel only after getting the latest weather information to avoid any inconvenience.

Biden Begins 3-Nation Tour With Focus On NATO Summit 1st Stop London

US President Joe Biden departed on Sunday on a three-nation trip that will be dominated by a NATO summit in Lithuania aimed at showing solidarity with Ukraine in its fight against Russia while not yet accepting Kyiv as a member of the alliance.

Biden's first stop will be in London, where he will meet British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at 10 Downing Street on Monday and then travel to Windsor Castle for a visit with King Charles.

The talks with the king, expected to include climate initiatives, will give Biden a greater sense of the man who succeeded his mother, Queen Elizabeth, who died last September.

Biden had tea with the queen at Windsor in June 2021 and they discussed many of the same issues that remain a top priority today, like Russia and China.

Biden will travel on to Vilnius, Lithuania, on Monday night and hold talks with NATO leaders there on Tuesday and Wednesday. Biden and the allies aim to show support for Ukraine and give Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy a sense of what he will have to do to gain NATO membership at some point in the future.

In a CNN interview previewing his trip, Biden urged caution for now on Ukraine's drive to join NATO, saying the alliance could get drawn into the war with Russia due to NATO's mutual defense pact.

"I don't think there is unanimity in NATO about whether or not to bring Ukraine into the NATO family now, at this moment, in the middle of a war," Biden said.

A centerpiece of Biden's visit to Lithuania will be a speech that he will deliver at Vilnius University on Wednesday night.

White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters the speech will cover Biden's vision of "a strong, confident America flanked by strong, confident allies and partners taking on the significant challenges of our time, from Russia's aggression in Ukraine to the climate crisis."

One of Biden's objectives on the trip is to show Americans back home the importance of continuing support for Ukraine as he faces re-election. Some of his Republican rivals in the race for the November 2024 presidential elections have voiced doubts about his strategy.

Solid majorities of Americans support providing weaponry to Ukraine to defend itself against Russia and believe that such aid demonstrates to China and other US rivals a will to protect US interests and allies, according to a Reuters/Ipsos survey late last month.

Biden's last stop will be in Helsinki for talks with the leaders of the newest NATO member, Finland, and to attend a summit of US and Nordic leaders.

State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) Inspector Kavindra Sajwan said that with the help of divers, five people wee rescued and the bodies of three pilgrims were recovered. A search operation is on for the other three missing people.

The passengers were residents of Delhi, Bihar and Hyderabad.

The accident occurred between Malkunti bridge and Hotel Anand Kashi near Gular on Rishikesh-Badrinath National Highway, Inspector in-charge of Muni Ki Reti police station Ritesh Sah said.

Sah said that five rescued passengers have been admitted to the government hospital in Rishikesh.

A large number of trees were uprooted in the Kashipur area of ​​Udham Singh Nagar district. Due to heavy rains, two houses in Missarwala village of Kashipur area of ​the district collapsed, killing a couple and injuring their granddaughter.

According to the Uttarakhand State Emergency Operation Centre, the deceased have been identified as Naseer Ahmed (65) and his wife Mohammadi (60). The couple's granddaughter Mantasa (18) was injured in the incident and has been admitted to the hospital.

Disaster Management Secretary Ranjit Kumar Sinha has instructed the district magistrates to be vigilant and take adequate precautions in view of the rising water level of the rivers.

They have asked to continuously monitor the water level of the rivers, not to switch off their mobile phones and not to allow any movement of tourists in higher Himalayan regions during heavy rain warnings.

The Uttarakhand Police has also tweeted and asked the Kanwariyas to be vigilant in view of the rise in the water level of the Ganga in Haridwar.

Bullied Indian-Origin Employee Gets 2.3 Million Pounds From Royal Mail

In what is believed to be one of the largest compensation settlements for the UK's Royal Mail, an Indian-origin employee has been awarded more than 2.3 million pounds after her bullying claim was upheld.

Kam Jhuti had claimed before an employment tribunal dating back nearly eight years that she had been intimidated and harassed by her boss after she raised concerns that a colleague had secured their bonus illegitimately.

The tribunal went on to find that there had been a “catastrophic” impact on her over her boss' treatment of her, ‘The Daily Telegraph' reports.

“The tribunal makes a total award of GBP 2,365,614.13, payable by the respondent to the claimant,” reads an official remedy decision added to the long-running case this week.

“Subject to the paragraph below, payment of the award is stayed pending the outcome of the respondent's (Royal Mail) appeal against the tribunal's original judgment on remedies which was sent to the parties on October 3, 2022. Both parties have the liberty to apply to lift this stay,” it reads.

“Of that total award, the respondent (Royal Mail) will, however, make payment of the sum of 250,000 pounds gross to the claimant; the stay does not, therefore, apply in relation to this sum. The parties agreed that the respondent will pay this sum to the claimant within 14 days of the date of this hearing,” it adds.

Earlier, the tribunal had concluded that the postal service had been “high-handed, malicious, insulting and oppressive” in how it had conducted the case.

A 2019 Supreme Court hearing was told that Jhuti started work as a 50,000 pounds per year media specialist at the Royal Mail's MarketReach unit based in London in September 2013.

However, the following month, while shadowing a colleague, she began to suspect they were not following watchdog Ofcom's guidance and also breaching the company's policy in relation to bonuses known as Tailor-Made Incentives (TMIs), which she said helped the colleague to hit performance targets and directly securing a bonus for herself and “in effect defrauding the company”, the newspaper reports.

Later that month, a TMI expert in the business confirmed Jhuti's previous allegations had been correct by acknowledging that media specialists were offering TMIs “inappropriately”.

As the process unfolded, Jhuti began suffering from stress and went on to express concern over her boss's conduct.

She was granted a new line manager but was told she was not making the expected progress and in March 2014 was signed off with work-related stress, anxiety and depression, and never returned to work.

After taking Royal Mail to an initial employment tribunal in 2015, Jhuti's claims of unfair dismissal proceeded after the Supreme Court ruled in her favour.

As an appeal is pending in the case, the Royal Mail is expected to only make a payment of 250,000 pounds from the total compensation amount at this stage.
