Dates Salad, Carrot Tandoori And More In Vegetarian Menu For PM Modi In UAE

Prime Minister Narendra Modi was served a full vegetarian meal at the banquet lunch hosted by UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan in Abu Dhabi on Saturday. PM Modi arrived in the UAE today for a day-long visit.  

According to a picture of the menu, PM Modi was first served harees (wheat) and dates salad along with local organic vegetables. This was followed by a starter which included grilled vegetables with masala sauce.

In the main course, PM Modi was served black lentils and local harees with cauliflower and carrot tandoori. The dessert included a “selection of seasonal local fruits”.

The menu stated that “all meals are vegetarian and prepared with vegetable oils, and contain no dairy or egg products”.

PM Modi reached UAE on July 15 after concluding his two-day visit to France. He attended a banquet dinner hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron at the Louvre Museum in Paris where he was served a specially-curated vegetarian menu.

He was welcomed by Crown Prince Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan on his arrival at the airport in Abu Dhabi on Saturday.

PM Modi also held talks with the President and discussed India-UAE ties.

“It is always gladdening to meet HH Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. His energy and vision for development are admirable. We discussed the full range of India-UAE ties including ways to boost cultural and economic ties,” PM Modi tweeted, sharing a few pictures of him with the President.

I Was Fired For Telling The Truth About Ukraine War, Says Russian Army General

A Russian army general has said he was removed from his job for telling the truth about the war in Ukraine and the conditions of his soldiers on the front lines.

According to audio released by a Russian lawmaker, this revelation came from Major General Ivan Popov, who commanded Russia's troops in the southern Zaporizhzhia region of Ukraine, leading the 58th Combined Armed Army.

This news has come to light at a time when it has been more than two weeks since the Russian army's uprising was put down, the future of the mercenaries remains uncertain, and the course of the Ukraine war remains uncertain.

According to NBC News, in an audio message apparently intended for his soldiers but posted to Telegram on Wednesday by Andrey Gurulev, a politician and a former deputy commander of Russia's Southern Military Command, Popov appears to say he was removed from his post for speaking the truth.

"I called things by their proper names and focused on the most important thing-the tragedy of the modern war. This is the absence of counter-battery combat, reconnaissance, and the massive injuries of our brothers from enemy artillery," Popov said, according to the audio clip.

Gurulev, a member of United Russia, the largest party in Russia, did not say how he obtained the recording.

According to the news agency Reuters, Major General Ivan Popov said Russian soldiers had been stabbed in the back by the failings of the top military brass.

He said in a voice message that "The Ukrainian army could not break through our ranks at the front but our senior chief hit us from the rear, viciously beheading the army at the most difficult and intense moment,".

Popov, whose military call sign was "Spartacus" and who commanded Russian units in southern Ukraine, explicitly raised the deaths of Russian soldiers from Ukrainian artillery and said the army lacked proper counter artillery systems and reconnaissance of enemy artillery.

There was no immediate comment from the defence ministry and Reuters was unable to independently verify the authenticity of the voice message. Lawmaker Gurulyov is a hardline former army commander who regularly appears on state television.

Over 20 Killed In South Korea Due To Landslides, Floods; 14 Still Missing

22 people have died, 14 were missing and thousands evacuated in South Korea as of Saturday, according to ministry data, as a third day of torrential rains caused landslides and the overflow of a dam.

As of 6 p.m. (0900 GMT), 4,763 people had been evacuated nationwide, according to the Ministry of Interior and Safety, as water overtopped the dam in North Chungcheong province on Saturday morning.

Local governments' evacuation orders covered more than 7,000 people at various times, according to provincial authorities.

The tally is expected to rise as more heavy rain is expected on the Korean peninsula on Sunday, the Korea Meteorological Administration forecasted.

Korea Railroad Corp said it was halting all slow trains and some bullet trains, while other bullet trains might be delayed due to slower operation, as landslides, track flooding and falling rocks threatened safety.

A slow train derailed late on Friday when a landslide threw earth and sand over tracks in North Chungcheong province, the transport ministry said. The engineer was injured, but no passengers were on board.

In a meeting with government agencies on Saturday, Prime Minister Han Duck-soo called for the military to actively join in rescue activities, working with government officials to mobilise equipment and manpower.

"He Didn't Get Politics And...": Devendra Fadnavis' Dig At Uddhav Thackeray

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis today took a veiled dig at Uddhav Thackeray, saying the former chief minister used to say that he didn't understand politics, budget etc, whereas the current government understands them.

Speaking at the 'Shasan Aplya Dari' (government at your doorstep) programme here, Fadnavis said the Shiv Sena-BJP-NCP (Ajit Pawar camp) government will change the life of the common man.

"Our previous chief minister used to say that he didn't understand politics, budget, cooperative sector and many other things. Therefore (Sharad) Pawar saheb wrote in his book (autobiography) that he (Uddhav) didn't know politics either. But we know everything - budget, politics and economics," Mr Fadnavis said.

He said the current government is working under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi who has implemented various welfare schemes and is credited for the removal of poverty.

Mr Fadnavis also listed various measures being implemented by the state government in the last year after coming to power.

"We increased the honorarium of anganwadi workers and kotwals. We took decisions such as granting a 50 per cent concession to women in MSRTC bus travel and free travel to senior citizens (above 75). I hope this government will fulfil all your expectations," he added.

Mr Fadnavis invoked Lord Ram while speaking about the government programme as Nashik houses the famous temple of the deity.

"The government has not come to your doorstep only but also in the court of Lord Ram. Nashik is a land of Kumbh Mela. This programme is a Kumbh Mela itself. It allows us to serve you as part of our effort to take the government to the last person," he said. 

"Despite this, some people have problems. To find a remedy to their problems, we brought Eknath Shinde, and now we have brought Ajit dada (Pawar). Our government completed one year recently. In this period, we brought Maharashtra to the number one spot in investment and industries. This government has the faith of the country and the industrial sector," Mr Fadnavis added.

He said aid worth Rs 10,000 crore has been given to farmers.

"With the 'Namo Shetkari Yojana', we gave Rs 12,000 (Rs 6,000 by the state govt and Rs 6,000 by the Centre) to farmers. With the 'Mukhyamantri Saur Krishi Vahini Yojana', we will fulfil the demand for electricity supply during the day," Fadnavis added.

He said every farmer in Nashik will get a 12-hour electricity supply during the day in the next three years.

"Under the Smart scheme, agro-business societies will be formed in 10,000 villages and agreements have been signed with 43 corporates including Reliance Industries. Farmers can sell their produce directly and can also avail of cold storage, godown and other facilities. Farmers should not worry as largescale funds will be made available for them," Mr Fadnavis added.

He said a decision about the Neo Metro project and Nashik-Pune railway project will be taken soon.

Mr Fadnavis said farmers should not worry despite less rainfall this year as the government is standing behind them with various schemes at its disposal to make farmers drought-free permanently.

Speaking to reporters at the Nagpur airport earlier, Mr Fadnavis said the alliance (with Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena, BJP and Ajit Pawar-led NCP) will run smoothly.

"Everything between us will go on smoothly just as the Cabinet allocation was done smoothly. Because all three parties have decided that we will work together in the interest of Maharashtra," he said.

Cabinet expansion too will take place without any hitch, he said.

On the appointment of guardian ministers of districts, Mr Fadnavis said it will be done soon after discussions among the allies, and would not present any problem.

Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar was on Friday allocated the key Finance and Planning portfolio, which was earlier held by Mr Fadnavis, while some of the eight other NCP leaders who joined the state cabinet with him a fortnight ago were also given important portfolios like cooperation and agriculture.

Pak PM Shehbaz Sharif Launches $3.5 Billion China-Designed Nuclear Power Plant

Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Friday launched the 1200-megawatt nuclear power plant being built with China's assistance in Punjab province which is seen as a sign of growing strategic cooperation between the two all-weather allies.

Earlier, Prime Minister Sharif had inked an agreement with China worth a whopping USD 3.5 billion under which Beijing would build the Chashma-V nuclear plant at Chashma in the Mianwali district of Punjab.

He had termed the nuclear power plant agreement signing as a token of increasing economic cooperation between Pakistan and China and vowed to complete the project without any delay.

"The Chashma-5 nuclear energy project, which is by itself a huge milestone, a huge success story and a wonderful symbol of cooperation between two great friends," Sharif said.

"This mutual cooperation to promote clean, efficient and comparatively cheaper energy is a gift of friendship between the two countries and a model for other countries to emulate," he said.

He said that the new power plant would be completed in the next seven to eight years, noting it would be a great favour to the people of Pakistan as the industrial and agriculture sectors consistently stress the need for cheaper and more efficient energy.

The premier also expressed his gratitude to China for its longstanding support saying, "Unless we mention the role of our great and most trusted friend China, the story will remain incomplete." Chashma power plants are considered a key in the production of cheap nuclear power. The installed capacity of the existing four power plants is 1,330 megawatts, according to the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission.

Two other nuclear power plants are also operational in Pakistan. Karachi Nuclear Power Plants (KANUPP 2 & 3) have a capacity of 2,290.

The prime minister on the occasion also spoke about the deal with the International Monetary Fund which averted the threat of default and highlighted the role of China in helping Pakistan in tackling the economic difficulties.

"The risk of potential default has been completely averted through team efforts - untiring efforts - from all the components of the government of Pakistan and all our institutions," he said.

Sharif recalled that China rolled over more than USD 5 billion back to Pakistan in the past four months. "This is not a small contribution by a great friend at a time which was one of the most difficult times Pakistan was facing," he said.

Pakistan received USD 1.2 billion from the IMF on Thursday following approval by the global lender's executive board to provide USD 3 billion to the debt-trapped nation over a period of nine months.

Pakistan's economy has been in a free fall mode for the last many years, bringing unbridled pressure on the poor masses in the form of unchecked inflation and making it almost impossible for a vast number of people to make ends meet.

Yamuna Water Inundated Pathways Of Gandhi Memorial At Rajghat: Official

Water from the Yamuna entered Mahatma Gandhi's memorial at Rajghat in Delhi, inundating its lawns and pathways, Gandhi Smriti and Darshan Samiti Vice-Chairman Vijay Goel said today.

Goel said the flood water rose up to the memorial complex's entrance and later inundated the pathways leading to the marble platform where Gandhi was cremated.

"However, the water just touched the lower portion of the marble platform and the flame atop it was unaffected," he told PTI.

Visuals of Rajghat showed water surging on the Ring Road and entering the memorial.

Goel said a part of the wall of the Gandhi Smriti and Darshan Samiti collapsed under the pressure of the water.

Earlier, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal told reporters that the flooding at Rajghat was due to the backflow from a drain in the area.

A PTI video showed the memorial's pathways and lawns inundated by waist-deep water.

Rajghat, built in Mahatma Gandhi's memory on the western bank of the Yamuna in Delhi, measures 44.35 acres. The memorial is a square stone platform in black marble.

The memorial was built on the site where Mahatma Gandhi was cremated after his assassination on January 30, 1948, at Delhi's Birla House.

"Chandrayaan-3 Carries Hopes Of 1.4 Billion Indians": S Jaishankar

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Friday said that the Chandrayaan-3 carries the hopes of 1.4 billion Indians.

"Chandrayaan-3 is today embarking on a journey that carries the hopes of 1.4 billion Indians. The whole nation prays for its success," S Jaishankar tweeted.

Earlier today, Chandrayaan-3 was launched on GSLV Mark 3 (LVM 3) heavy-lift launch vehicle successfully from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Andhra Pradesh's Sriharikota as per scheduled launch time.

The journey from Earth to the moon for the spacecraft is estimated to take about a month and the landing is expected on August 23. Upon landing, it will operate for one lunar day, which is approximately 14 Earth days. One day on the Moon is equal to 14 days on Earth.

Chandrayaan-3, India's third lunar exploration mission, will make India the fourth country after US, China, and Russia, to land its spacecraft on the surface of the moon and demonstrate the country's abilities for safe and soft landing on lunar surface.

Chandrayaan-3 is the ISRO's follow-up attempt after the Chandrayaan-2 mission faced challenges during its soft landing on the lunar surface in 2019 and was eventually deemed to have failed its core mission objectives.

Chandrayaan-3 will be inserted into the Lunar Transfer Trajectory after the orbit raising maneuvers. Covering a distance of over 300,000 km, it will reach the Moon in the coming weeks. Scientific instruments onboard will study the Moon's surface and enhance our knowledge.

Chandrayaan-3 is equipped with a lander, a rover and a propulsion module. It weighs around 3,900 kilograms.

The moon serves as a repository of the Earth's past and a successful lunar mission by India will help enhance life on Earth while also enabling it to explore the solar system.

Singer Lisa Marie Presley's Death Linked To Weight Loss Surgery

The death of Lisa Marie Presley, the singer-songwriter and only child of rock and roll legend Elvis, was caused by a bowel obstruction related to a prior weight loss surgery, medical examiners said.

Presley, who led a tumultuous life in the sprawling shadow of her world-famous father, died in January at age 54 after being discovered unresponsive in her home and rushed to the hospital.

Her cause of death was determined to be "a small bowel obstruction caused by scar tissue that developed after a previous bariatric surgery years ago. The manner of death is natural," the County of Los Angeles Department of Medical Examiner said in a statement Thursday.

Bariatric surgery is a stomach-shrinking bypass procedure carried out on those wanting to lose excessive weight.

Presley was found by her ex-husband on January 12, and pronounced dead later that afternoon, the medical examiner said.

The ex-husband, Danny Keough, lived at her property in the celebrity-studded Los Angeles suburb of Calabasas. He performed CPR until paramedics arrived and transported her to hospital, where she was put in an induced coma on life support before dying, TMZ reported at the time.

In addition to Keough, whom she divorced in 1994, Presley had also been married to Nicolas Cage, Michael Jackson and actor-composer Michael Lockwood.

Lisa Marie was Elvis's only child. She previously controlled Elvis Presley Enterprises, although she sold the bulk of shares in the company to a private equity firm in 2005.

She retained control of Graceland, the estate her father owned and where he was found unconscious in August 1977.

Elvis' widow Priscilla Presley reached a settlement in May, following a dispute over an amendment removing her from her daughter's will.

In addition to her mother, Lisa Marie Presley was survived by her daughter Riley Keough, who appeared in "Mad Max: Fury Road," as well as teenage twin daughters Harper and Finley. Her son Benjamin Keough died by suicide in 2020.

"Serious Threat": MK Stalin Writes To Law Panel, Opposes Civil Code

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin on Thursday expressed his government's "strong" opposition to the proposed Uniform Civil Code (UCC), arguing against a "one-size-fits-all approach", and flagged his concerns in a detailed letter to the Chairperson of the Law Commission of India.

In the letter, he said, "I am writing to express Government of Tamil Nadu's strong opposition to the idea of implementation of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in India that is known for its multicultural social fabric. While I understand the need for certain reforms, I believe that the UCC poses a serious threat and challenges the diverse social structure of our society." 

The letter said the country prides itself on being a secular nation that respects and protects the rights of minorities through Article 29 of the Constitution. The Sixth Schedule of the Constitution also ensures that the tribal areas of States preserve their customs and practices through District and Regional Councils.

"The UCC, by its very nature, has the potential to disproportionately affect such tribal communities and undermine their right to practice and preserve their traditional practices, customs and identities," Mr Stalin said.

Implementing a uniform code without considering the socio economic disparities that exist in our society can have adverse consequences, he added.

"Different communities have varying levels of development, education, and awareness, and a one-size-fits-all approach may exacerbate existing inequalities," the chief minister said. 

UCC also has the potential to create deep divisions and social unrest among religious communities, he added. 

"Any attempt to impose a uniform code may be perceived as an overreach by the State into religious matters, setting a worrisome precedent for future encroachments on personal liberties," Mr Stalin argued.
