क्या वर्ल्ड कप या आईपीएल के मैच फिक्स होते हैं, जब BCCI उपाध्यक्ष से पूछा सवाल

इस बात में कोई शक नहीं कि भारत में क्रिकेट के करोड़ों दीवाने हैं. लेकिन यह बात भी सच है कि देश में ऐसे भी लोग शायद करोड़ों में ही हों, जो इस खेल को शक की निगाह से देखते हैं.

From Coal Miner's Son To Taiwan's President-Elect: All About Lai Ching-te

Pugnacious, stubborn, and a "pragmatic worker for Taiwan's independence", veteran politician Lai Ching-te will step into the international spotlight as the democratic island's next president to navigate an increasingly turbulent relationship with China. 

The 64-year-old Harvard graduate rode to victory in Saturday's election on the promise that he would defend Taiwan's democracy and resist Beijing's claims on the island.

His win delivers an unprecedented third consecutive term for the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and in his victory speech Lai hailed it as a "victory for the community of democracies".

"We are telling the international community that between democracy and authoritarianism, we will stand on the side of democracy," he said.

He has vowed to continue outgoing President Tsai Ing-wen's policies of building up Taiwan's military capabilities as a defence deterrence against a potential invasion from China. 

But his outspokenness -- which he has moderated in recent months on his path to the presidency -- has drawn the ire of Beijing. 

China regards him as a "stubborn worker" for Taiwan's independence and a "saboteur of peace", warning that the soft-spoken politician would be the cause of "war and decline" for the island.

"There are strong doubts on China's side about his deep-seated convictions", said Mathieu Duchatel, head of the Asia programme at Montaigne Institute in Paris, adding that at this stage, "(Lai) wants above all to reassure".

Son of a coal miner 

Unlike most of Taiwan's political elite, Lai rose from humble origins. 

Born in 1959, Lai was raised by his mother alongside five other siblings in a rural hamlet in New Taipei City, after his coal miner father died when he was a toddler.

After he graduated from Harvard University, he returned to work in a hospital in southern Taiwan before turning his attention to politics in 1996 during the Third Taiwan Strait Crisis. 

"My defining moment came as China's military adventurism... threatened our shores with live fire exercises and missiles," he wrote in an op-ed for The Wall Street Journal last July. 

"I decided I had a duty to participate in Taiwan's democracy and help protect this fledgling experiment from those who wished it harm."

He served as a lawmaker, a mayor of the southern city of Tainan and a premier before he was tapped to be vice president to President Tsai Ing-wen, whom he will now succeed.

Under Tsai's two-term tenure relations with China plummeted -- with all high-level communications cut off -- as she defended the island's sovereignty and refused to acknowledge Beijing's claim over it. 

During his campaign for office, Lai stuck to her stance that Taiwan is "already independent", and does not need to formally declare itself separate from China. 

He has also said he is willing to have exchanges with China "on the preconditions of parity and dignity", explaining that closer ties for economic prosperity should not be traded for Taiwan's sovereignty. 

"Accepting China's 'one-China' principle is not true peace," he said, referring to a Beijing doctrine that Taiwan is a part of China. 

"Peace without sovereignty is just like Hong Kong. It is a false peace."

'Much fiercer'

During his time as premier, he was more vocal than Tsai about the issue of independence, which some say has top allies like the United States -- Taiwan's main weapons provider -- concerned about how he will handle relations with China. 

"The question will be to what extent Lai can stick to the cautious and moderate pathway carved out by Tsai," said Amanda Hsiao of the International Crisis Group. 

Sarah Liu of the University of Edinburgh said a Lai administration would continue on a path of "less economic reliance on China". 

"Through strengthening its international standing, Taiwan will gain more allies to further consolidate its democracy," she said. 

Tsai made a reference to his pugnacity in a campaign ad released this year ahead of the poll. 

"You are much fiercer than I am... you step up and fight with others," she said in a slickly edited commercial that showed the two driving along a picturesque highway. 

"But I did it for the safety of my country... because protecting Taiwan's democracy is the most important," Lai responded before Tsai handed him the steering wheel.

Assets Worth Rs 3.46 Crore Of Sub-Postmaster Attached In Money Laundering Probe

A land parcel and bank balances worth Rs 3.46 crore of a sub-postmaster in West Bengal have been attached as part of a money-laundering probe against him for allegedly claiming investors' deposits by forging their signatures, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) said on Friday.

A provisional order has been issued under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) for attaching the properties of Lakshman Hembram.

Hembram is a sub-postmaster in the postal department of West Bengal. The ED's case stems from an FIR registered at the Moyna police station in Purba Medinipur district.

The ED said Hembram used to effect premature or final closure of term-deposit accounts apparently by "forging" signatures of the account holders and transfer the amount or maturity proceeds of those accounts to the saving accounts of the same account holders without their knowledge.

"Thereafter, he used to siphon off the said amount from their savings accounts by way of fraudulent withdrawals again apparently by forging signatures of the account holders.

"The instances of withdrawals of amounts exclusively from savings bank accounts of the depositors and term deposit were observed without knowledge of the account holders as none of these withdrawals found mention in the relevant passbooks of the depositors," the federal agency said in a statement.

These withdrawn amounts, to the tune of Rs 4.12 crore, were used by the accused to purchase movable and immovable assets and for personal use and are proceeds of crime according to the PMLA, it said.

Karnataka R-Day Tableau Rejected, Siddaramaiah Writes To Rajnath Singh

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has written to Defence Minister Rajnath Singh requesting him to allow the state to showcase its tableau themed 'Brand Bengaluru' in the Republic Day parade at 'Kartavya Path' this year.

Expressing his displeasure over the Centre's denial to present its tableau, he said the decision had hurt the sentiments of Kannadigas.

In a letter addressed to Mr Singh, which he shared on 'X', Siddaramaiah said Karnataka has been taking part in the Republic Day parade at Kartavya Path, New Delhi, with its tableau for the last 14 years consecutively.

He underlined that Karnataka has won numerous prizes for its tableaux in the Republic Day parades with various themes, such as Maha Mastakabhishek of Bhagwan Baahubali (2005), Architecture of Hoysala (2008), Bidari Art of Bidar (2011), Bhootaradhane (2012), Channapattana Toys (2015) and Traditional Art Forms of Karnataka (2022).

Each tableau in Karnataka shows the rich culture, folklore and traditions of the state.

The theme 'Brand Bengaluru' was selected from among the five themes proposed by Karnataka for the 2024 Republic Day parade.

"The state had presented the key-model and the music before the selection committee and it had asked us to attend the next meeting with certain modifications. However, after the last round of meeting, Karnataka has not been included in the 2024 Republic Day parade to be conducted at Kartavya Path. Instead, the tableau has been accommodated in the 'Bharat Parv' section at the Red Fort," Siddaramaiah said.

According to him, the tableau themed 'Brand Bengaluru' depicts how the iconic city of Bengaluru has leapfrogged in development and yet is firmly rooted in its culture and tradition.

The state's contribution to 'Vikasit Bharat' is immense - be it technology, entrepreneurship or tax contribution. The grand Terminal-2 of the Kempe Gowda International Airport is the newest feather in its cap. It has been declared as one of the most beautiful airports in the world by UNESCO, the chief minister pointed out.

"The decision not to allow Karnataka tableau at this year's Republic Day parade has hurt the sentiments of Kannadigas. The exclusion has met with strong disappointment from the people of Karnataka," Siddaramaiah said.

"To avoid hurting the sentiments of seven crore Kannadigas, it is requested to allow Karnataka to showcase its tableau themed 'Brand Bengaluru' in the Republic Day Parade 2024 at Kartavya Path, instead of limiting it to 'Bharat Parv' exhibition at the Red Fort," he added.

3 Rooms, An XBOX: How This Mass Murderer Serves His Sentence

Three private rooms, as many budgies and an Xbox: the lawsuit brought by Anders Behring Breivik against the Norwegian state's prison regime details conditions that would make many prisoners envious.

Since 2022, Breivik has been serving his sentence in the high-security wing of Ringerike prison, on the shores of the lake that surrounds the island of Utoya where he killed 69 people, most of them teenagers, on July 22, 2011.

Mere hours earlier, he had detonated a bomb in Oslo, killing eight others.

The 44-year-old right-wing extremist now has three personal rooms to himself: a living room, a study room and a small gym.

On the floor below -- which he shares with another prisoner, though never at the same time -- he has access to a kitchen, a TV lounge with a games console, a dining room and a room for visits.

"Breivik has much more space than any other inmate in Ringerike prison," the facility's director Eirik Bergstedt told Norwegian news agency NTB in December.

Although the decor is relatively plain, the gym includes several exercise machines and the lounge has a large flat screen TV and several armchairs so he can play Xbox with the guards.

Despite these conditions, Breivik, who in 2012 was sentenced to 21 years in prison -- which can be extended indefinitely -- has taken the Norwegian state to court this week to protest against his prison regime.

In a tearful address to the court on Tuesday he said authorities are trying to "push me to suicide".

It is not the first time Breivik has used strong words to protest his conditions: in a letter to AFP in 2014, he threatened to go on hunger strike in prison if he did not get, among other things, a Playstation 3 instead of the older Playstation 2.

However, it is not the material conditions of his detention that he is protesting.

Held apart from other inmates in high-security facilities for almost 12 years, Breivik claims his extended isolation is a violation of Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which prohibits "inhuman" and "degrading" treatment.

A 'dungeon' 

"They built a dungeon around me" to "wall me in", Breivik complained on Tuesday.

"I'm not a hamster, I need real human relationships," he said.

He is not totally isolated, and in addition to his contacts with the guards -- with whom he can play cards, cook or share a meal -- Breivik is allowed to see a pastor, a physiotherapist, a psychiatrist and a Red Cross visitor with a dog that he can pet.

He himself ended contact with a visitor appointed by the authorities, but for one hour a week he is allowed to meet another prisoner, also carefully hand-picked, with whom he can socialise with, for instance with activities such as making waffles.

Mostly, these meetings take place around a table, which he calls "Putin's table", with several guards sitting between the two prisoners for security reasons.

Or a 'palace' 

In addition to activities such as basketball, walks or visiting the prison library, authorities have given him three budgies to comply with his request for a pet.

"I had asked for a dog, a goat or a miniature pig with which you can make empathetic contacts, which can be a good substitute for people in isolation", commented Breivik, adding that "budgies are better than nothing."

Larger mammals "are not very practical in a high-security area", state lawyer Kristoffer Nerland retorted.

"Moreover, veterinary authorities might have something to say about it."

On social media, some users have commented on the conditions of detention, comparing them to "a hotel" or "a palace".

"The Norwegian system is the way it is, but as a mother whose daughter he killed, it's hard to see him complaining with his nice flat," Lisbeth Kristine Royneland, head of a support group for families of the victims, told AFP.

Royneland who lost her 18-year-old daughter on Utoya.

"But at least he's behind bars and he'll never get out again," she added.

Meghalaya's Byrnihat India's Most Polluted City In 2023: Report

Byrnihat in Meghalaya topped the list of the most polluted cities in India in 2023, closely followed by Begusarai in Bihar and Greater Noida in Uttar Pradesh, according to a report released on Wednesday.

Delhi, known for its persistently high air pollution levels during winter, ranked as the eighth most polluted city, the report by independent think tank Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) said.

Sunil Dahia, South Asia's analyst at CREA, said 227 cities with air quality data available for over 75 per cent of the days in 2023 were studied.

Among these cities, 85 were included under the National Clean Air Programme (NCAP). The data showed that 78 out of the 85 NCAP cities had PM10 levels exceeding the NAAQS (60 microgrammes per cubic metre).

The NCAP, initiated in 2019, aims for a 20-30 per cent reduction in PM2.5 and PM10 concentration by 2024 in 131 cities that hadn't met prescribed air quality standards from 2011 to 2015.

The government has now set a new target of achieving a 40 percent reduction in particulate matter concentration in these cities by 2026.

"After five years of the NCAP implementation, only 44 cities out of the 131 non-attainment cities have concluded the source apportionment studies," Dahia said.

"Due to the absence of these studies, 64 per cent of the funds allocated under NCAP have been utilised solely for dust mitigation and ineffective solutions like smog guns, resulting in inefficient use of public funds," he added.

The CREA report revealed that only 37 NCAP-covered cities achieved PM10 levels below the annual targets set by the programme. Interestingly, in 2023, 118 cities not yet part of NCAP breached the national air ambient quality standards for PM10.

"This indicates that cities not included in NCAP aren't necessarily cleaner," Dahia emphasised.

Only seven of the 20 most polluted cities in India are currently under NCAP.

Byrnihat, covered under NCAP, registered the highest annual average PM10 concentration at 301 microgrammes per cubic metre, while Silchar in Assam reported the lowest PM10 level at 29 microgrammes per cubic metre in 2023.

Begusarai in Bihar (average annual PM10 level of 265 microgrammes per cubic metre) and Greater Noida in Uttar Pradesh (228 microgrammes per cubic metre) secured the second and third positions among the most polluted cities.

Among the top 50 polluted cities, 18 are in Bihar, eight in Haryana, and eight in Rajasthan.

The report highlighted that PM10 concentration in the top 10 polluted cities was notably 3-5 times higher than Indian NAAQS and exceeded WHO limits by 13-20 times.
