NITI Aayog Vice Chairman Recommends Revamping India's Higher Education System

India needs to revamp and improve its higher education system to take advantage of the declining working age population in developed countries like the US and European nations, former NITI Aayog vice chairman Arvind Panagariya said today.

"The global picture... what is happening really is that the populations in most of the countries are ageing, and as a part of this working age population -- 15 to 64 -- is declining in most of the major countries. It's going to decline in China, the United States and European nations," he said.

India is really going to be the only large country aside from Africa, which would be contributing positively to the working age group of the world, he said at the release event of the report titled 'The Rise of India's Middle Class'.

Citing the United Nations Population Division numbers, he said, India would be adding something close to 150 million individuals in the working age population category 15 to 64 by 2040.

Given the shortages that could occur in the rest of the world, he said, clearly Indian population will be the global workforce.

"This is where I think transition that is happening to the middle class that is going to be really very critical, because that is the population from which a lot of would migrate. Therefore, it is extremely important for India to revamp its higher education system, because there would be global demand of more educated workforce," he said.

It makes it even more urgent to reform the higher education system, improve the quality of education, because ultimately India is going to be defining the global workforce.

"It also seems to me that the acceptance of the Indian Expatriates in the country of destination, generally, is much higher than perhaps the most of the countries because we culturally have tremendous power to assimilate in whichever local population into which we go," he said.

Despite anti-immigration policies etc., he said, "I don't believe that it's going to be able to stop the flow of the workforce. Demand is going to be so much stronger".

Decisions At Regional Meet SCO Will Enhance Partnership With India: Putin

Addressing the Council of Heads of States summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) virtually, Russian President Vladimir Putin today thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for organising this Summit and lauded the work India has done under its presidency.

He said, "I would like to thank PM Modi for organising this Summit. The implementation of a lot of documents and the decisions that were prepared for this Summit is going to enhance the strategic partnership with India," adding that Russia supports the New Delhi declaration which gives a consolidated approach to international issues.

"Russia supports the New Delhi declaration which gives a consolidated approach to international issues. We will continue to strengthen ties with SCO member states," Putin said.

Speaking further, Putin also mentioned Ukraine and noted that, for quite a while, external forces had been carrying out a project aimed at transforming Ukraine into "a hostile state; the anti-Russia."

"In fact, there is a hybrid war being waged against us, which involves illegal sanctions on Russia that are unprecedented in scale. I would like to point out that Russia has been and will continue to confidently counter external pressure, sanctions and provocative incitements," the Russian head of state emphasized.

He added that, for quite a while, external forces had been carrying out a project aimed at transforming Ukraine into "a hostile state; the anti-Russia," President Vladimir Putin said at the summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), according to the Russian news agency, TASS.

"For eight years, they pumped it [Ukraine] full of weapons, condoned aggression against the peaceful population of Donbas, and turned a blind eye to the enforced propagation of neo-Nazi ideas. And all of this was being done to put the security of Russia under threat and put a check on the development of our country," Putin pointed out during the Summit.

He also added by saying, "Another focus of the SCO is the current situation in Afghanistan. The situation that regrettably is not becoming better. The SCO's priority must be counter-terrorism, counter radicalism, extremism and to counter drug trafficking."

The SCO summit, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, concluded with the virtual participation of the heads of state from all SCO nations.

India assumed the rotating chairmanship of the SCO at the Samarkand Summit of SCO on September 16 last year. The theme of India's Chairmanship of SCO in 2023 is 'SECURE-SCO'. Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and China's President Xi Jinping were among others who participated in the summit.

They are the BEST dogs in the world. We had one when my boys were very young, and he was a great friend. I never knew a dog could jump so high, straight up in the air, to catch a frisbee, his favourite game. I once caught a line drive at Hub's softball game," wrote another user.

"The Border Collie is Widely considered to be the most intelligent dog breed; they are descendants of landrace sheepdogs. They are now mostly used as working dogs to herd livestock, specifically sheep," commented a third user.

Delhi Metro's Magenta Line Services Reduced For Hours Due To Waterlogging

Services on a section of Delhi Metro's Magenta Line were curtailed for several hours on Tuesday due to waterlogging on a portion of the tracks between Dabri Mor and Janakpuri West segment of the corridor, according to officials.

The Magenta Line connects Janakpuri West in Delhi to Botanical Garden in Noida.

"Train services on Magenta Line (Line-8 from Janakpuri West to Botanical Garden) were regulated today owing to waterlogging between Dabri Mor and Janakpuri West section on the upline track (trains going towards Janakpuri West)," the DMRC said in a statement.

Train services were provided through single-line operation between Janakpuri West and Terminal-1 IGI Airport stations via the downline track from 10 am to 3:35 pm. As a result, trains were available at a lesser frequency in the section during this period, it said.

Services on the remaining section of the Magenta Line, from Terminal-1 IGI Airport to Botanical Garden, were running normally during this period through, both the up and down line tracks, it said.

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation also shared the information on Twitter to alert commuters.

"Magenta Line Update Delay in services from Janakpuri West to Terminal 1-IGI Airport. Normal service on all other lines," the DMRC said in a tweet at 10:40 am.

Commuters travelling from Janakpuri West to Botanical Garden or vice versa can also travel by the Blue Line, it wrote in another tweet.

Botanical Garden station is an interchange station between the Blue Line and Magenta Line.

"Normal services have resumed," the DMRC tweeted at 3:44 pm.

During this period, centralised announcements were made on station premises and inside trains to inform passengers. Further, commuters travelling towards Botanical Garden were also advised to use the Blue Line to avoid delays on this route, officials said.

"The issue of waterlogging, which apparently occurred due to leakage from a fire pipeline in the section was resolved at 3:35 pm and thereafter, normal train services were resumed on the entire Magenta Line, through up line and down line tracks," the DMRC said.

Twitter Faces Lawsuit Over Unpaid Bills In Four Countries

Elon Musk's Twitter is facing another lawsuit after the company was unable to pay for services for offices in London, Dublin, Sydney and Singapore, according to a Guardian report.

The Australian firm's lawsuit is the latest alleging non-payment of bills and rent against Twitter. Facilitate said from 2022 through early 2023, it installed sensors in Twitter's offices in London and Dublin, completed an office fit-out in Singapore, and cleared an office in Sydney, Reuters reported.

Facilitate is seeking a collective payment of over A$1m ($666,000) across the three businesses.

The company has now decommissioned Twitter's Sydney office and temporarily stored its contents, according to case documents obtained by the Guardian.

The company claims Twitter owed about 203,000 pounds, S$546,600 and A$61,300, respectively.

The case is filed in the US district court of Northern California at the end of June.

Facilitate said it was seeking compensatory damages in an amount to be determined at trial, legal costs and interest at the maximum legal rate.

However, Twitter has not yet filed a defence.

In the court filings, the company said that it is not the sole company suing Twitter since Musk took over. The firm said that Musk's moderation decisions and the unbanning of far-right and neo-Nazi accounts had alienated advertisers and caused a financial crisis for the company.

"Twitter responded with a campaign of extreme belt-tightening that amounted to requiring nearly everyone to whom it owes money to sue," the firm said.

"Twitter stopped paying rent on some of its offices and stopped paying several vendors whose services it was still using. Twitter also cancelled many contracts and stopped paying people to whom it owes money."

In May, a former public relations firm filed a suit in a New York court saying Twitter had not paid its bills, while early this year U.S.-based advisory firm Innisfree M&A Inc sued it, seeking about $1.9 million for what it said were unpaid bills after it advised Twitter on its acquisition by Musk.

Britain's Crown Estate, an independent commercial business that manages the property portfolio belonging to the monarchy, in January, began court proceedings over alleged unpaid rent on Twitter's London headquarters.

Donations To French Cop Top Aid Received By Family Of Teen He Shot Dead

A collection for a French policeman who sparked nationwide riots last week by shooting a teenager dead reached more than 986,000 euros ($1.07 million) on Monday, dwarfing donations to the victim's family.

More than 40,000 people have pledged money to the online fund for the officer, set up on the website Gofundme.com by a far-right media commentator.

The collection easily outstripped the 189,000 euros gathered for the family of the dead 17-year-old, Nahel, who is of north African origin and lived with his mother on a housing estate in a west Paris suburb.

Nahel's grandmother said she was "heartbroken" by the support shown for the policeman.

"He took the life of my grandson. This man must pay, the same as everyone," she told the BFM channel on Sunday.

"I have confidence in the justice system. I believe in justice."

The shooting, during a traffic stop, has exposed deep political divisions in France.

Many right-wing figures are seeking to defend the security forces, while those on the left see the death as a consequence of systemic racism in the police.

'Doing his work'

Widespread rioting and looting since Tuesday appear to have deepened the polarisation.

Politicians from the centrist ruling party and on the left have condemned the collection for the policeman, which was launched by far-right commentator Jean Messiha -- himself close to anti-Islam politician Eric Zemmour.

"Jean Messiha is playing with fire," ruling party MP Eric Bothorel wrote on Twitter, calling it "indecent and scandalous".

The head of the Socialist party, Olivier Faure, addressed a message to Gofundme, saying they were facilitating a "shameful" collection.

Senior hard-left MP Mathilde Panot highlighted how a collection for a former boxer who had punched several police officers during "Yellow Vest" anti-government demonstrations in 2019 had been quickly closed by authorities.

"Killing a young North African, in France in 2023, can earn you a lot of money," she wrote.

Jean Messiha, a commentator on the right-wing CNews channel and former advisor to far-right leader Marine Le Pen, celebrated on Twitter when his fund overtook the one for the family of Nahel at the weekend.

When launching the collection, he said it was for an officer who was "doing his work and is paying a heavy price".

'Not in line with rules'

The head of the right-wing Republicans party, Eric Ciotti, defended the initiative on Monday and said he might contribute.

The officer's family was "facing difficulties", he said.

The 38-year-old policeman, named in French media as Florian M., has been detained and charged with voluntary manslaughter.

In a video of the shooting, he can be seen with a colleague stopping a yellow Mercedes which Nahel was driving without a licence in the western Paris suburb of Nanterre on Tuesday morning.

The officer has his weapon drawn and shoots Nahel at point-blank range as the car drives off.

Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne said the operation was "was obviously not in line with the rules of engagement for police".

Florien M. also faces charges of making false statements, having initially claimed that he opened fire when Nahel drove towards him.

Another teenager in the car told media after the incident that the officers had hit Nahel with the butts of their guns before opening fire.

A voice can be heard on the video saying: "You are going to get a bullet in the head."

Lt Governor Ends Services Of 400 Specialists Working With Delhi Government

Lt Governor V K Saxena terminated the services of around 400 'specialists' appointed by the AAP government in different departments, officials said on Monday, a decision that could trigger a fresh round of confrontation between the ruling party and the LG.

They were engaged in a "non-transparent manner" and without the mandatory approvals of the competent authority, the LG office said in a statement.

The appointments also did not follow the mandatory reservation policy for SC, ST and OBC candidates prescribed by the Department of Personnel and Training, it added. No immediate reaction was available from the Kejriwal government.

"Delhi LG, VK Saxena has agreed to the proposal of the Services department to immediately terminate the services of about 400 private persons engaged as Fellows/Associate Fellows/Advisors / Dy Advisors/Specialists/Senior Research Officers/Consultants, etc by Delhi government in its various departments and agencies," the LG office statement said.
