President Joe Biden announced in August that he would move forward with “forgiving” billions of dollars in federal student loan debt. As Spencer noted, this cost more than $300 billion dollars to American taxpayers, regardless if they attended college, had loans or had paid back their loans.
The legal basis Biden used for this decision came from HEROES Act of 2003 as part of America’s response to the 9/11 terror attacks. A poll that came out this week asked Americans if they supported Biden’s decision to forgive some student loans.
A new poll from Marquette University Law School found that 59 percent of Americans favor the Biden administration’s decision to forgive some student loans. Forty percent of respondents said they opposed this decision.
Broken down by political party, 25 percent of Republicans said they “strongly” or “somewhat” favor this move. Seventy-five percent said they “somewhat” or “strongly” oppose it.
On the other hand, 89 percent of Democrats said they “strongly” or “somewhat” support the decision. Only 10 percent said they “somewhat” or “strongly” oppose it.
The survey showed that support for student loan forgiveness is higher among young people ages 18-29 and declines with age.
In September, the poll showed Biden’s approval rating increased to 45 percent with 55 percent disapproving. In July, Biden’s approval rating was 36 percent while 64 percent disapproved.
With the midterm elections around the corner, 75 percent of Democrats and 73 percent of Republicans say they are “absolutely certain” to vote.
“Among registered voters, 47% say they would vote for the Democratic candidate for Congress and 41% would vote for the Republican candidate. Party loyalty is very high for both parties, with a slight Democratic advantage. Independents are about evenly split, with 30% saying they prefer neither party for Congress,” the write-up said.
The poll was conducted Sept. 7-14 among 1,448 American adults with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.4 percentage points. For the 1,282 registered voters, the margin of error is plus or minus 3.6 percentage points.

Former Manchester United fan favourite Patrice Evra has called on manager Erik ten Hag to have an "honest discussion" with Cristiano Ronaldo after the manager dropped the Portugal international from his starting line-up.
Ronaldo finished last season as United's top scorer after returning to the club from Juventus. He has been used sparingly this term, though, starting just one league game and only scoring once all season, in the Europa League win away to Sheriff.
Evra played with Ronaldo during the forward's first spell at Old Trafford, with the pair part of the side which won the Champions League in 2008. And the Frenchman understands both sides of the situation but believes communication is key.
Ronaldo isn't the only first-teamer to be sidelined by Ten Hag this term. Club captain Harry Maguire has also lost his starting spot, with the manager preferring a partnership of Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez, and the England defender has played just 10 minutes in the league since having a torrid time away to Brentford in August.
"With those big decisions Ten Hag sent massive shockwaves," Evra told Betfair. Ronaldo has made several appearances from the bench since losing his starting spot, but United have gone unbeaten in the league without the veteran in the starting XI.
"Let's be clear, to put Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench is a massive statement, because Cristiano Ronaldo will think it's not fair, last year he scored like 18 goals, so in his head he will be like 'why am I on the bench?' He's right, but you have a manager and you have to respect his decision."
Has Ten Hag made the right call on Ronaldo? Have your say in the comments section
Ronaldo had looked to leave United over the summer, after the team failed to qualify for this season's Champions League. However, with no suitable destination for the former Real Madrid frontman, he stayed in Manchester.
"I understand the frustration of Cristiano Ronaldo, but also Ten Hag was like 'I'm going to start a new era, Ronaldo is still in my plan,' and I'm sure Cristiano Ronaldo is in his plan," Evra continued. "Maybe, United need to suffer right now and they will need other players, but you will always need Cristiano Ronaldo, trust me, there will be a moment when we say thanks Cristiano, please stay, I'm convinced about that.
"I think Ten Hag and Ronaldo need to, if they haven't already, have an honest discussion. Everything that is happening right now is logic."
Ronaldo is currently away with the Portugal squad for their UEFA Nations League games against the Czech Republic and Spain. Upon returning to England, he will be pushing for a start as United prepare to take on neighbours Manchester City in the league.

Ben Affleck shows off his scruffy beard as he models a white t-shirt and beige cardigan before smiling when looking at his cell phone
Ben Affleck picked up an iced coffee as he ran errands in Los Angeles on Thursday morning.
The Oscar winner, 50, kept it casual in a white t-shirt, and navy blue pants, paired with a beige hoodie and white sneakers. He wore his wedding band and a thin bracelet around the other, as he carried his coffee in his hand.
The Boston-bred filmmaker sported a scruffy salt and pepper beard along with his lightly tousled dark hair.
Caffeine fix: Ben Affleck fueled his body in the morning with an iced coffee as he ran errands in Los Angeles on Thursday
A perfect moment: 'This is heaven. Right Here. We're in it now.' That is one of my favorite lines that Ben wrote from a movie he directed called Live By Night. He also said it the night of our wedding reception in his speech, and I thought ... how perfect,' Jennifer Lopez wrote
Absent from the trip to the coffee shop was the actor's wife, Jennifer Lopez, whom he married in August.
The Batman star's pal Kevin Smith shared details about Affleck's lengthy vows. 'He wrote a big speech that he read to [Jennifer Lopez] at the wedding, which was breathtaking,' he shared.
'He's one of my favorite writers on the planet. He wrote his vows — they [both] wrote their vows, but he wrote a big speech that he read to her at the wedding, which was breathtaking,' said Smith.
'And it was long. That's one of my favorite things about Ben; he's his own biggest fan, so he wrote like a 12-page speech. I was like, "Keep talking, keep talking,"' Smith added.

The Blonde actress, 34, was romantically linked with her Deep Water costar back in March 2020.
'I have never been someone that wants any attention that's not about my work. So when the attention is not about my work, it is upsetting, and it feels disrespectful, and it feels inappropriate, and it feels dangerous and unsafe,' she said.
'But, especially in this country, I don't know how you can find protection. I don't know how you can stop that from happening, other than leaving.'

Olivia Wilde sings along to Harry Styles' song and dances jubilantly as she supports boyfriend at his final Madison Square Concert show
Olivia Wilde proved she was Harry Styles' number one fan as she danced jubilantly at his concert and sang along to all his lyrics.
In video posted to TikTok, the star could be seen grooving and singing the lyrics to Harry's song Music For A Sushi Restaurant as she attended his final Madison Square Garden show on Wednesday night.
The actress turned director, 38, wore a white feather boa as she jumped up and down as her boyfriend performed on stage.
His biggest fan! Olivia Wilde proved she was Harry Styles' number one fan as she danced jubilantly at his concert and sang along to all the lyrics
Looking every inch the supportive girlfriend, she seemed to know all the lyrics as she danced beside the stage with her friends.
She appeared to be wearing a VIP badge over her flowing white maxi dress with cut-outs.
Olivia was also seen sitting with a male pal in the audience but at the end of the show was seen receiving a warm hug from TV star Gayle King - while elsewhere Drew Barrymore was spotted in the audience.
To celebrate, the iconic venue raised a banner to the rafters commemorating his record-setting run of 15 sold-out shows, a month after Harry began his Love on Tour residency on August 20.

I like to move it! Wilde threw her hands up in the air as she grooved to the beat
The former One Direction singer - who rocked a colourful striped jumpsuit - is only the third musical artist to have a banner raised in the New York City venue.
It was a night to celebrate as the venue made sure each seat had its own feather boa, officially marking the arena as Harry's House.
Gayle King presented Styles with his banner in a surprise ceremony during the encore, right after he sang Sign of the Times.
King told him: 'Harry, we don't want to say goodnight to you.' Harry then stood watching as the banner was hoisted up to the delight of the crowd.
Very important person! She appeared to be wearing a VIP badge over her flowing white maxi dress with cut-outs
Jump! Wilde jumped jubilantly up and down as the pace of the track picked up
An emotional Harry then told the crowd: 'Any time that you come to Madison Square Garden and you see that, remember it's because of you. That is ours.'
He added: 'I'm gonna come back when everyone is gone, and just sit and look at that for a while.'
Harry and Olivia met on the set of Don't Worry Darling and have been dating ever since.
The movie however has been dogged by several dramas, including claims Olivia has an ongoing feud with lead role Florence Pugh, while the Venice Film Festival premiere raised eyebrows after it was claimed Harry spat on Chris Pine in the auditorium, which both Styles and Pine's reps denied happening.

Royal Mail set to tear up nine-year trade union deal as battle over the future of the business intensifies
Royal Mail has announced plans to rip up a nine-year deal with trade unions as a battle over the future of the business intensified.
The FTSE 250 post carrier said that the agreement that it signed when it was privatised in 2013 was being used by the Communication Workers Union (CWU) to ‘frustrate’ efforts to overhaul the company.
The 506-year-old business is haemorrhaging £1million a day and has been attempting to change working practices and improve technology to compete with rival delivery services such as Amazon.
Pay row: Royal Mail said the agreement that it signed when it was privatised in 2013 was being used by the Communication Workers Union to 'frustrate' efforts to overhaul the company
But it said the CWU has ‘blocked any meaningful discussion’ around the changes while also not putting forward ‘any viable alternatives’.
The 2013 deal restricts Royal Mail from employing new workers on different terms to existing staff, making compulsory redundancies or using temporary workers.
But management views the agreement as a barrier to making vital changes that they believe are needed for the business to remain competitive.
The deal contains a clause that allows the company to break the agreement if it can demonstrate ‘material adverse effects’ on the business, including strikes.
As a result, Royal Mail said it was planning to throw out or ‘review’ the deal as well as others signed with union bosses over the years to ‘move to a more modern industrial relations framework’.
It is thought such a move could trigger a legal challenge, but the company said it needed to ‘break the impasse and ensure it can move ahead with its transformation’.
The CWU said the company’s action was ‘sickening’ and amounted to ‘an all-out attack’ on the union.
Shares in the group, which listed on the stock market at 330p when it was privatised back in 2013, plunged 4.8 per cent, or 10.3p, to 204.6p yesterday after the announcement.
The decision comes amid a long-running pay dispute between Royal Mail and the CWU, which represents around 115,000 postal workers.
The union went on strike in late August and early September. More walkouts are planned next week as relations continue to deteriorate.
CWU leaders have been pushing for Royal Mail staff to receive a pay rise at least in line with inflation, which is currently running at 9.9 per cent, having previously rejected the firm’s offer of a 2 per cent standard pay rise with the potential for 5.5 per cent if certain changes were agreed.
The union has also opposed alterations to working patterns such as delivering packages later in the day as part of the company’s modernisation plans.
The union is also pushing for the working hours of its members to be reduced and for those aged over 55 to be given lighter duties.
Aside from tearing up previous deals with the unions, Royal Mail has also written to the CWU to propose that negotiations be taken to Acas, the dispute resolution service.
The group said that it was considering breaking up the firm, separating its UK arm, Royal Mail, from its more profitable international business GLS if it failed to implement its turnaround plans.
Earlier this month, Royal Mail was also forced to deny claims from the CWU’s general secretary Dave Ward that it was in ‘secret talks’ over a possible sale of the business to a private equity firm.
Aside from Royal Mail, industrial action has affected Britain’s railways over the summer while airline staff and even barristers have also staged walkouts in arguments over pay and conditions.

Was there a long line at the restaurant, Phil? Schofield looks downcast as he heads out for dinner with daughter as queue-jump row rages
Under-fire Phillip Schofield cuts a downcast figure on an evening out with his daughter amid the fallout from the royal queue storm.
The presenter looked tired and dejected in his first off-screen public appearance since he and This Morning co-star Holly Willoughby were accused of bypassing the 13-hour line waiting to see the Queen lying in state.
Dressed smartly in a grey jumper, jeans and a black jumper, Schofield appeared to be deep in conversation with his daughter Molly and her boyfriend Will Grieveson as they visited a restaurant near his west London home.
They dined at the restaurant until 11pm on Wednesday, with waiters seemingly staying behind to serve them. ‘The staff were seen cleaning tables and packing things away while Schofield, 60, and his daughter carried on eating and drinking,’ said a witness. ‘Five minutes after they left, staff were also seen heading home. Maybe they didn’t wanted to rush Phil.’
The topic of the dinner conversation could well have been ‘queue-gate’ as Molly is a talent manager at showbusiness agency YMU, who have represented Schofield for more than two decades. She also manages stars such as Davina McCall and Rochelle Humes.
The following morning, Schofield was once again back on screen with Miss Willoughby, 41, his co-star on the ITV daytime show for 13 years.
The presenters used press accreditation to visit Westminster Hall last week while other stars, including David Beckham and Susanna Reid, waited for hours with the public.
ITV insist that neither Schofield nor Miss Willoughby jumped the queue and that they were there in a professional capacity as part of the world’s media to report on the event.

A petition to axe the presenters from This Morning has reached more than 62,000 signatures and the row has said to have left Miss Willoughby (pictured with Schofield) in tears
The pair addressed the allegations in a pre-recorded an 11-minute segment which was shown on This Morning on Tuesday, with Miss Willoughby saying: ‘We would never have jumped the queue.’
A petition to axe the presenters from This Morning has reached more than 62,000 signatures and the row has said to have left Miss Willoughby in tears.
She recently launched a lifestyle brand and has a £1million deal with Marks & Spencer. Her representatives are understood to be deeply concerned about how her ‘girl next door’ reputation is being tarnished.
A source said: ‘Brand Holly was a triumph, everyone loved her, her fanbase was extraordinary but the tide has turned.
Former This Morning host Eamonn Holmes yesterday labelled Miss Willoughby and Schofield ‘arrogant’. Pictured: A segment from the This Morning piece that Holly and Phil were working on in a professional capacity, according to ITV
‘If you look at some of the comments out there, her popularity is falling through the floor. Holly will be furious. She has worked hard for this but there are many close to her who think that this has been an absolute PR disaster.’
Former This Morning host Eamonn Holmes yesterday labelled Miss Willoughby and Schofield ‘arrogant’.
The presenter, who had a long-running feud with Schofield while they were both at ITV, added: ‘Let’s just tell the truth about the whole thing. They messed up, and instead of being arrogant and saying, ‘We were there working as journalists,’ why don’t they just say, ‘Yeah, we thought it would be a good idea.’”

Ellen DeGeneres ripped as 'manipulative,' 'self-centered' and 'blatantly opportunistic' by one-time associate Greyson Chance
- Chance, 25, spoke Thursday about his relationship with the talk show host, 64
- He first crossed paths with Ellen after a viral video in 2010
- Chance said Ellen vowed to 'protect' him and his career but 'became domineering and way too controlling'
- He said that when his career sagged, she 'abandoned' him and would not return his calls
- A DeGeneres source denied the allegations made by Chance
- The source said DeGeneres went out of her way to try to help launch his career
Ellen DeGeneres was ripped by her one-time associate, entertainer Greyson Chance, as 'manipulative,' 'self-centered' and 'blatantly opportunistic.'
Chance, 25, spoke Thursday with Rolling Stone about his relationship with the talk show host, 64, who he first crossed paths with after he was featured in a viral video singing the Lady Gaga hit Paparazzi, making an appearance on her show at the age of 12 in May of 2010.
The Oklahoma-born performer said he was overwhelmed when DeGeneres sought to feature him on her program.
The latest: Ellen DeGeneres, 64, was ripped by her one-time associate, entertainer Greyson Chance, 25, as 'manipulative,' 'self-centered' and 'blatantly opportunistic,' as Chance spoke with Rolling Stone Thursday
'We just couldn’t believe what was happening,' Chance said. 'We were so unsure of what we were getting into, and the person that helped cure all of that skepticism and chaotic energy was Ellen.'
Chance said that DeGeneres vowed she was 'going to protect' him and be there for him, saying, 'We’re going to do this together.'
DeGeneres then created a label called eleveneleven in conjunction with Interscope Geffen A&M Records, inking Chance and setting him up with managers, bookers and a publicist.
Chance said that when he put out a mini EP in October of 2010, DeGeneres 'became domineering and way too controlling' over him, impacting his mental well-being.
Chance said DeGeneres - who left the air about two years after a toxic workplace scandal - exhibited nasty behavior toward him and other staffers, noting, 'She was just degrading to people.' He was pictured last year in Nashville

'My whole week, my whole month, my whole year could change [with] one text message from her,' he said. 'That was horrible.'
One rift that developed was over the 2011 Justin Bieber documentary Never Say Never, Chance said, as DeGeneres acquired an advance copy and instructed him to watch it immediately and pattern his work after Bieber's.
Chance said that when he didn't watch the doc right away, DeGeneres chastised his mother Lisa, asking her, 'What type of mother are you?'
Chance said DeGeneres told him, 'Disappointed isn’t even remotely what I’m feeling right now,' in regards to the documentary issue. He said he realized he was a 'pawn' to the talk show host.

Chance said DeGeneres 'completely removed' herself and 'abandoned' him when his career sagged in 2012, and would not return his calls. He was pictured in June in LA
He added: 'She would come in and look at a rack, yell at stylists, berate people in front of me and say, "This is what you’re wearing on the show."'
Chance said DeGeneres 'completely removed' herself and 'abandoned' him when his career sagged in 2012, and would not return his calls.
Chance said that he continued to make sporadic appearances on the Ellen show - which he called 'a place of active trauma' - and DeGeneres behaved cold toward him when the cameras weren't rolling.
'Whenever I would come on the show, it was such a fake smile,' Chance said. 'She wouldn’t even ask, "How are you doing? How are you holding up?" It was just like, "Here’s what we’re going to talk about. We’ll see you on there."'
Chance opened up about an appearance he made on the show in 2019, as DeGeneres 'hugged' him prior to filming.
'She said, "How have you been?"' Chance said. 'And that just killed me inside because I was like, "What do you mean how have I f***ing been? Where have you been?"'

A DeGeneres source denied the allegations made by Chance, saying that she went out of her way to try to help launch his career
In the exchange, Chance said a moment that felt 'cheap' was when DeGeneres said she was proud of him after he publicly came out as gay in 2017.
He noted, 'She had nothing to do with that' and said he 'hadn’t spoken to her in years' at the time he went public about his sexual orientation.
'That’s so messed up, that you’re now showing the world as if we’re so tight, we’re so good,' he said. 'And behind the scenes, you are this insanely manipulative person.'
Chance said he declined multiple invites to return to the series, including one that would have happened during the show's last two weeks.
'The first part of my career, I owe a lot of thanks to her and to that team,' he said. 'But the reason why I’m here today talking about an album, I owe f***ing nothing to her because I was the one that had to pull myself up. She was nowhere to be found.'
A DeGeneres source denied the allegations made by Chance, saying that she went out of her way to try to help launch his career; and that Chance did not express any of his feelings to DeGeneres in the timeframe around his 2019 appearance.

Icy swims could cut fat and reduce the risk of diabetes, review suggests
Swimming in icy water could increase insulin sensitivity and decrease insulin concentrations, according to researchers from Norway.
Friday 23 September 2022 00:19, UK
An icy swim could have significant health benefits, including reducing body fat and the risk of diseases such as diabetes, according to a review.
Some 104 studies were examined by researchers, who found that many reported major health benefits from cold water swimming, including on good fat which helps burn calories.
This could help prevent obesity and cardiovascular disease, but the researchers said overall health benefits were unclear.
The review indicated what appears to be a positive link between cold water swimming and brown adipose tissue (BAT).
BAT is a good body fat that is activated by the cold, burning calories to maintain the body's temperature.
It is different to "bad" white fat which stores energy.
Repeated icy swims could significantly increase insulin sensitivity and decrease insulin concentrations, the study found.
Researchers from UiT The Arctic University of Norway and from the University Hospital of North Norway completed the study, which is published in the International Journal of Circumpolar Health.
A lot of the available research involved small numbers of people, often of one gender, and with different water temperature and levels of salt, the researchers said.
And it is unclear whether or not winter swimmers are naturally healthier, they added.

Lewis Pugh to attempt 'coldest swim on Earth' - and says it will be most challenging of his career
Lead author James Mercer, from UiT, said: "From this review, it is clear that there is increasing scientific support that voluntary exposure to cold water may have some beneficial health effects.
"Many of the studies demonstrated significant effects of cold-water immersion on various physiological and biochemical parameters.
"But the question as to whether these are beneficial or not for health is difficult to assess.
"Based on the results from this review, many of the health benefits claimed from regular cold exposure may not be causal.
"Instead, they may be explained by other factors including an active lifestyle, trained stress handling, social interactions, as well as a positive mindset.
"Without further conclusive studies, the topic will continue to be a subject of debate."
The researchers warned that swimming in icy water also carries risks, such as hypothermia, and heart and lung issues related to the shock of the temperature.

SAO PAULO, Sept 22 (Reuters) - Brazil's presidential frontrunner Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva leads incumbent President Jair Bolsonaro by 14 points in a poll published on Thursday by pollster Datafolha, less than two weeks before the Oct. 2 first-round vote.

Teen dies after allegedly gang-raped, set on fire
A 16-year-old Dalit girl, who was allegedly gang-raped and set on fire by two men in Uttar Pradesh's Pilibhit district on Sept 7, died during treatment at King George's Medical University (KGMU) in Lucknow on Monday. Police arrested the two accused - Rajveer, 19, and Tarachand alias Tarun Kumar, 25.
The girl's death came less than a week after two Dalit sisters, aged 15 and 17, were found hanging from a tree in Tamoli Purva village just over 200km from Lucknow. They were believed to have been sexually assaulted and murdered by six men.
After 75 years, cheetahs return to India in grand experiment
Eight Namibian cheetahs arrived in India last Saturday, seven decades after their local extinction, in an ambitious project to reintroduce the big cats that has divided experts on its prospects.
Officials say the project is the world's first intercontinental relocation of the planet's fastest land animal. The five females and three males were moved from a game park in Namibia aboard a chartered Boeing 747 dubbed "Cat plane" for an 11-hour flight.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi presided over the release at Kuno National Park, a wildlife sanctuary 320km south of New Delhi.
"Today the cheetah has returned to the soil of India," he said in a video address after their arrival, which coincided with his 72nd birthday.
"The nature-loving consciousness of India has awakened with full force. We must not allow our efforts to fail."
Maharashtra to produce record sugar levels in new season
India's top sugar-producing state Maharashtra is set to churn out record levels for the second year in a row as farmers expanded the growing area for the cane crop, the state government said on Monday.
Higher production will weigh on local prices and prompt New Delhi to allow sugar exports in the 2022-23 marketing year to start from Oct 1. Indian exports might also weigh on global sugar prices.
Maharashtra can produce 13.8 million tonnes of sugar in the season, slightly higher than 13.7 million tonnes this year. Monsoon starts retreating India's monsoon season entered its withdrawal phase on Wednesday, the state-run weather office said, after a vigorous spell of rains towards the tail-end of the four-month season.
The monsoon, vital for India because almost half of its farmland lacks irrigation, usually starts retreating from the desert state of Rajasthan in the west by mid-September. Summer rains first lash the southern Kerala coast in June.

WinZO sues Google to stop new gaming policy
Indian online gaming platform WinZO has sued Google to stop the tech giant from allowing real-money games for fantasy sports and rummy on its platform, saying that Google's doing so is discriminatory.
WinZO's app offers real-money games in those categories but also in many others that Google still will not accept, such as carom, puzzles and car racing, and will therefore not be eligible to benefit from the newly adopted Google policy.
For years, Google allowed no games involving real money in India, but this month said such games for fantasy sports and rummy could join its Play Store marketplace in the country as part of a year-long pilot programme.

Horror as British man, 50, is killed during paragliding accident in Spanish Pyrenees
- Two people performed CPR on the unnamed Brit when they reached the scene
- But he died due to the severity of his injuries and post mortem will be carried
- The accident happened on the 8,572ft mountain peak called Pico Gallinero
A 50-year-old British man has died in a paragliding accident in the Spanish Pyrenees.
Two people were performing CPR on the unnamed Brit, it's believed, when the police and rescuers reached the scene, but he died due to the severity of his injuries.
His body taken away by a police helicopter after the horrific incident on the south side of a 8,572ft mountain peak called Pico Gallinero in the Aragonese Pyrenees.
Civil Guard were alerted around 1.30pm yesterday and officers from the Greim mountain rescue team responded while a police chopper was mobilised.
A post-mortem is expected to take place within the next 48 hours at the Huesca’s Provincial Hospital.

A 50-year-old British man has died in a paragliding accident in the Spanish Pyrenees
Ordesa Valley which forms part of the Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park in the Spanish Pyrenees
The causes of the accident are now under investigation on the mountain peak which is not far from the spot where British hiker Esther Dingley was found dead last year following her November 2020 disappearance.
The same mountain rescue team based in the Pyrenees town of Benasque that took part in the search for the Oxford graduate, participated in yesterday's operation.
The south side of the Gallinero Peak, which is in the municipality of Castejon de Sos, is believed to be a take-off site for paragliders wanting to enjoy spectacular views of the Pyrenees including Spain's third-highest mountain Aneto.
A local firm which organises flights says online: 'It's a unique setting for a magical experience.'
In June a 52-year-old man from Barcelona lost his life in an earlier paragliding tragedy in virtually the same spot. Reports at the time linked the tragedy to a possible human error.

'Let's do it!! As long as I can bring Pogba as a +1': Jack Grealish AGREES to a night out with Sportsmail's Graeme Souness... but cheekily suggests Man United flop comes along too, with both players having felt the Scot's wrath
- Manchester City's Jack Grealish has agreed to a drink with Graeme Souness
- The England star wants former Man United player Paul Pogba as his plus one
- Both Grealish and Pogba have been criticised by the pundit in recent times
- Souness, 69, said that the best players had to learn to accept the negativity
Jack Grealish has responded positively to Graeme Souness's request for a night out together, as long he can bring an unusual guest - Paul Pogba.
The Sportsmail columnist had made critical comments of Grealish in recent days - and believes the striker should learn to live with the negative comments.
Souness, speaking to talkSPORT, said: 'I'd love a night out with Jack!', and added 'I'm not sure I could stay with him, but I'd enjoy a night out with him'.
The Man City star responded to the broadcaster's tweet with two crying laughing emojis, and the words: 'let’s do it!! As long as I can bring Pogba as a +1'.
Graeme Souness has been jokingly taken up on his drink offer to Man City star Jack Grealish
It follows an ongoing dispute between the pair, with the 69-year-old claiming that Grealish had not improved since his £100million switch from Aston Villa last summer.
Grealish scored his first goal of the season last weekend against Wolves, after only netting three league goals in his first season for the Citizens.
Souness had said the 27-year-old was 'not a quick learner', which led the England international to respond: 'I don't know what his problem is with me. He always says stuff about me.
'I try not to read a lot of it. It is difficult when he's on Sky Sports and it's everywhere around the training ground at times. He was obviously a great player and won a lot but I don't know what it is with what he says about me or what problem he's got.'
Grealish and Paul Pogba were opponents - and now the Englishman wants him as a plus one
Souness, who has spent five decades invested in the sport, said he had no 'vendetta' against Grealish, or Pogba, who he previously criticised while he was at Manchester United.
Souness told MailSport: 'I also have to say that if I met him I'm sure I would like him and would like to have a night out with him, though I'm not so sure I could keep up!'
However, Grealish has jokingly suggested they should put their former team rivalries aside to get together with Pogba and thrash out the issues around criticism once and for all.
The pundit said: 'When I was having a go at Paul Pogba, it was because it was Man United and I think I was the first one to call Pogba out as being an average player in our league. I think I was proved 100 per cent right at the end of the day.'
France star Pogba, 29, currently plays for Serie A side Juventus, after his contract at Old Trafford came to an end in the summer.
Grealish is currently on England duty, before facing the Manchester derby upon his return to club action on October 2.
Grealish's next game for City is the Manchester derby - the first since Pogba joined Juventus

Louis van Gaal brutally tells Tim Krul his World Cup chances are OVER after the veteran Norwich goalkeeper refused to take part in special penalty training… even though he wasn't even in the Holland squad!
- Van Gaal asked Krul to participate in the specialist training session on penalties
- But the Norwich goalkeeper refused, sparking an angry response from Van Gaal
- Krul had not been selected in the squad for Holland's Nations League games
- His refusal has led to Van Gaal telling him he won't be on the plane to Qatar
Holland boss Louis van Gaal has brutally told Tim Krul he will not be picked in his squad for the World Cup in a row over the goalkeeper's refusal to take part in a specialist training session.
Krul was left out of the Dutch side for their Nations League games against Poland and Belgium but Van Gaal wanted to use the Norwich 'keeper, a specialist at saving penalties, as part of a session dedicated to spot-kicks.
But Krul, 34 refused to participate, prompting Van Gaal to inform him he would not be on the plane to Qatar.
'Krul called me to tell me that he will pass,' Van Gaal said. 'I thought it was a shame, because I know that he stops the most penalties in terms of statistics.
Norwich City goalkeeper Tim Krul has been axed from the Holland international squad
Krul was subbed on for Holland's penalty shootout against Costa Rica at the World Cup
'There is no future for him at the Orange, because he did not want to come. That is the consequence of his decision.
'I've always thought that you can train a penalty kick. Not the moment and the pressure, but you can automate your process and that gives confidence.
'I have convinced the boys that they can do something with it, that players at the club will train for penalties.
'You cannot change the training policy at their club, but you can request them to practice their own penalty kicks.'
Krul made two penalty saves during the shootout to help Holland get to the semi-finals

Krul is known as a specialist at penalties and was brought on by Van Gaal for a shootout in the 2014 World Cup, in which he saved two spot-kicks to help Holland beat Costa Rica and reach the semi-finals.
Ajax goalkeeper Remko Pasveer has taken up the responsibility of the number one shirt for Holland after impressing at club level.
Krul is a regular for Norwich in the Championship under manager Dean Smith, having played ten times this season and helping the Canaries to be second in the table.
Holland beat Poland 2-0 in Warsaw on Thursday thanks to goals from Cody Gakpo and Steven Bergwijn. Van Gaal's side take on Belgium in Amsterdam in their next Nations League clash on Sunday.

NEW YORK — An Ohio man who testified at a congressional hearing about why he stormed the U.S. Capitol avoided a term of imprisonment when a federal judge sentenced him on Thursday to two years of probation for his role in the mob's attack.
After his televised testimony at a U.S. House committee's hearing in July, Stephen Ayres approached and apologized to a group of police officers who had struggled to repel the crowd of rioters on Jan. 6, 2021.
Ayres apologized again on Thursday — this time to the court and the “American people” — before U.S. District Judge John Bates sentenced him to probation and ordered him to perform 100 hours of community service.
Bates said he believes Ayres has shown genuine remorse and regret for his conduct, including with testimony for the House committee investigating the insurrection.
“It was a travesty in American history, a shocking attack on our democratic values and institutions,” the judge said. “All who participated in that insurrection, I think it can be called, must be held responsible.”
Ayres said he has lost friends, family and a job after he joined the Jan. 6 attack.
“I pray every day for the officers that are struggling with this, the families that lost their loved ones,” Ayres said. “I just hope one day I can wake up and not have to live with it every day.”
Prosecutors recommended sentencing Ayres to 60 days of incarceration, one year of supervised release and 60 hours of community service. Ayres' lawyer, Eugene Ohm, sought a sentence of probation without any jail time.
Ayres, 41, pleaded guilty in June to one count of disorderly or disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds, a misdemeanor punishable by a maximum of one year in prison. He wasn't accused of engaging in any violence or property damage.
Ayres was charged with Matthew Perna, a friend from Pennsylvania who joined him in Washington, D.C. They attended the Jan. 6 “Stop the Steal” rally, where then-President Donald Trump addressed a crowd of supporters. Then they joined the mob's assault on the Capitol, entering the building through the Senate Wing doors.
Perna died in February. He had pleaded guilty to riot-relayed charges in December and was scheduled to be sentenced in March. A filing notifying the court of Perna’s death doesn’t specify a cause, but Ayres' attorney said Perna “took his own life largely because of the pressures of this case."
“Mr. Ayres thinks of Mr. Perna, who conveyed to him that he felt responsible that Mr. Ayres had been charged, every day. Mr. Ayres wonders whether and to what extent Mr. Ayres’ circumstances contributed to Mr. Perna’s depression,” Ohm wrote.
Two attorneys who represented Perna didn't immediately respond to an email seeking comment.
Ayres was employed as a supervisor for a cabinet manufacturer when he was arrested at his home in Warren, Ohio, less than three weeks after the Capitol attack. His employer fired him.
In a Facebook post before the riot, Ayres wrote, “Mainstream media, social media, Democrat party, FISA courts, Chief Justice John Roberts, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, etc....all have committed TREASON against a sitting U.S. president! !! All are now put on notice by ‘We The People!’”
During a July 12 hearing before the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection, Ayres testified that he felt as if Trump had called him to Washington that day. He said he believed that Trump would join them at the Capitol and held out hope that the 2020 presidential election results could be overturned in favor of the Republican incumbent.
“I felt like I had like horse blinders on. I was locked in the whole time,” Ayres said.
Ayres told committee members that he and others decided to leave the Capitol right after Trump tweeted at 4:17 p.m. for his supporters to go home.
In a court filing accompanying his guilty plea, Ayres agreed he stayed in the Capitol for roughly 10 minutes. But his testimony about Trump’s tweet indicates he actually remained in the building for approximately 90 minutes, according to prosecutors.
After his testimony, Ayres apologized to former Capitol Police Officer Aquilino Gonell, Metropolitan Police Officer Daniel Hodges and former MPD officer Michael Fanone, who were in the audience. Fanone told The Associated Press that the apology was not necessary because “it doesn’t do s--- for me.”

September 21st, 2022.
Philip Marshall, a veteran airline captain and former government “special activities” contract pilot, had authored three books on Top Secret America, a group presently conducting business as the United States Intelligence Community. Marshall is the leading aviation expert on the September 11th attack, as well as a masterful storyteller. In his final book “The Big Bamboozle: 9/11 and the War on Terror,” a 2012 publication Marshall theorized it wasn’t al-Qaida but rather U.S. and Saudi government officials who orchestrated 9/11. In February 2013, he was found dead along with his two children in their home in California. Reports indicate all 3 died of gunshot wounds. Police regarded the case as a double murder- suicide case. But many pieces do not add up. Simply, a loving father and devoted husband would kill his children before turning the gun on himself. Besides, prior to his death, he had confided to his closest that he was terrified of his family being targeted by secret agents.
This movie looks into this whistleblower’s investigations and tries to find out what he could have possibly found that cost his life and that of his loved ones.

ADRIAN THRILLS: Take That star Mark Owen comes out of the shed and into the spotlight
MARK OWEN: Land Of Dreams (BMG)
Verdict: Arena-ready anthems
Rating: ***
5 SECONDS OF SUMMER: 5SOS5 (BMG)
Verdict: Likeable but formulaic
Rating: ***
BETH ORTON: Weather Alive (Partisan)
Verdict: Hazy and atmospheric
Rating: ****
With Take That on hiatus, members are busy with solo projects. Gary Barlow is touring his excellent one-man show, which ends its West End run on Sunday.
Robbie Williams, whose second stint with the group ended in 2011, starts a greatest hits tour next month, and Howard Donald was spotted strutting his stuff on ITV's The Masked Dancer.
As there's no more collective activity until next year — when a new album is due — Mark Owen is also resurrecting a solo career that seemed to fizzle out after 2013's low-key The Art Of Doing Nothing, a sheepishly titled album made in his garden shed studio. The good news is that his latest release, Land Of Dreams, is a lot more enterprising.
Owen, 50, is handling the transition from boy band pin-up to middle-aged singer-songwriter well. He played this summer's Isle Of Wight and Latitude festivals, and today's arrival of Land Of Dreams, plus a forthcoming tour, suggests a serious return rather than a vanity project.
Mark Owen (pictured) performing at Latitude Festival 2022 at Henham Park on July 24 2022
Having moved to LA, the Oldham-born singer has added an American sheen to his music by employing U.S. producers and session players. The upshot is a sun-kissed pop record that modernises his sound while allowing him room to express himself.
He acknowledges his man-band roots. 'You only want me for my good looks, bad taste . . . supersonic hip shaking,' he jokes on You Only Want Me, mocking his stage persona.
Boy is a big, harmony-driven singalong that wouldn't have sounded out of place on a Take That album. Mark supplied lead vocals on the Take That hits Babe and Shine, and his new songs reiterate the clarity and verve of his singing. This isn't the most original record we'll hear this autumn, but Owen deserves full marks for range and versatility.
He channels Bee Gee Barry Gibb in adopting an unexpectedly funky falsetto on Are You Looking For Billy? and Superpower looks to George Michael's Faith — a reminder that Michael is still the ultimate role model for teen idols who want to appear grown-up once the screaming stops.
There are detours into electronic dance and pop, while Gone, Gone, Gone opens as an acoustic folk piece and develops into a jangling guitar number.
There's a clumsy attempt to address the household budgeting crisis on Rio, on which he sings of 'trying to survive when the cost of living keeps on getting higher and higher'. I'm not sure that his solution — an impromptu trip to Brazil — is an option for most of us.
But Land Of Dreams, with its arena-ready choruses, justifies his decision to go it alone again.
Robbie and Gary might just be glancing nervously over their shoulders.
Australian quartet 5 Seconds Of Summer are another boy band experiencing growing pains. After forming at school and posting Justin Bieber covers on YouTube, they broke through when they toured with One Direction in 2013. Edgy enough to attract rebellious teenage girls, they were wholesome enough not to frighten their parents.
As a cheery pop-punk act, they topped the U.S. charts with their first three albums. But you can only get so far with songs that sound like The Inbetweeners set to music, and a more thoughtful approach surfaces on their fifth album, 5SOS5, a sprawling, 19-song affair produced largely by their guitarist, Michael Clifford.
Having once looked to groups like Blink-182 and Green Day, they tone down the high-octane riffs in favour of twinkling keyboards and strummed acoustics — an oddly-timed move, given the popularity of punky newcomers such as Olivia Rodrigo.
Power ballad Complete Mess employs subtle electronics and Older — a piano duet between singer Luke Hemmings and his fiancee Sierra Deaton — is wistful and tender.
There's a nod to their hometown on Easy For You To Say ('the sunrise in Sydney that's burning for days'), and some likeable, if formulaic, songs of love and regret. But amid the introspection, they've lost a little of their old dynamism.
Beth Orton was dubbed the queen of 'folktronica' when her collaborations with The Chemical Brothers, Andy Weatherall and William Orbit struck a balance between electronic beats and acoustic guitars. Her first two solo albums, Trailer Park and Central Reservation, were worldwide hits, and she was crowned best female at the 2000 Brits.
Despite reaching the Top 10 with 2002's Daybreaker, her career has since stalled. Unable to work in lockdown, she needed a bank loan to keep making music and has faced health problems dating back to a teenage diagnosis of the digestive condition Crohn's disease.
Beth Orton was dubbed the queen of 'folktronica' when her collaborations with The Chemical Brothers, Andy Weatherall and William Orbit struck a balance between electronic beats and acoustic guitars
But she wears her heart on her sleeve on her bittersweet seventh album Weather Alive, a series of long, languid pieces written on a 'beaten up old piano' she bought in London's Camden Market. 'It almost makes me wanna cry, the weather's so beautiful outside,' she sings, her voice breaking, on the title track, setting a dream-like tone that is maintained throughout.
With drummer Tom Skinner and saxophonist Alabaster DePlume adding light and shade, her hazy arrangements veer towards the jazzier side of Joni Mitchell. Those seeking bangers should look elsewhere, but Weather Alive is beautifully sung and played.
- All albums out today. Mark Owen starts a UK tour on October 16 at O2 Academy, Bristol (ticketmaster.co.uk). Beth Orton starts her tour on October 7 at the Academy 2, Birmingham (seetickets.com).

WASHINGTON -- US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Thursday stressed the importance of trilateral cooperation between South Korea, Japan and the US, urging the countries to work together on regional and global issues.
Blinken made the remarks at the top of a three-way meeting with South Korean Foreign Minister Park Jin and Japanese Foreign Minister Hayashi Yoshimasa in New York.
"The United States, Japan, Korea -- we have the most vital bilateral relationships, but we also have this trilateral partnership," Blinken said at the top of the meeting, held on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
"And I think what we have seen over the years, including in recent months, is that when we are working together, we are even more effective. And we're more effective not only in dealing with any regional security issues that are before us, but with a whole series of global issues that are front and center here at the United Nations this week," he added, according to the state department.
The top US diplomat reiterated the trilateral relationship "matters" to the US
"It makes a difference. And I think we can see that in the work that we're doing together," he said.
After the meeting, the South Korean foreign minister said the three also underscored the importance of trilateral cooperation in dealing with North Korea's nuclear ambition.
"We discussed the need to be prepared to closely work together and sternly react with regard to North Korea's threat to use nuclear weapons," Park told reporters.
North Korea said earlier this month that its parliament legislated a new law that allows Pyongyang to launch an "automatic nuclear strike" when the country is attacked.
The top diplomats of South Korea, Japan and the US expressed concerns over North Korea's destabilizing messaging related to the use of nuclear weapons, according to a joint statement released later.
"The secretary and foreign ministers urged the DPRK to abide by its obligations under relevant UN Security Council resolutions and called for full implementation of these by the international community," it said, referring to North Korea by its official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
"They reaffirmed that a DPRK nuclear test would be met with a strong and resolute response from the international community," it added.
The three ministers also called on North Korea to engage in dialogue.
"They stressed the importance of serious and sustained dialogue and urged the DPRK to return to negotiations," said the joint statement.
"To this end, Secretary Blinken and Minister Hayashi expressed support for the goal of the ROK's "Audacious Initiative," it said, referring to South Korea by its official name, the Republic of Korea.
The Audacious Initiative refers to a recent proposal by Seoul to launch economic aid programs for the impoverished North as long as Pyongyang shows its commitment to denuclearize.
North Korea has initially rejected the offer as it also remains unresponsive to other US and South Korean overtures for dialogue. (Yonhap)

Indian comedian Raju Srivastav Photograph:( Others )
Raju Srivastava collaborated with PETA last year and delivered a powerful message asking people to report the use of spiked bits to the police and to have a horse-free wedding.
The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India has written to the union minister for fisheries, animal husbandry and dairy, Parshottam Rupala, requesting him to honour the late comedian Raju Srivastava for his contribution to prohibiting the sale, manufacture, trade, and possession of illegal spiked bits which are used to control horses.
In a PETA India video, Raju Srivastava once delivered a powerful message asking people to report the use of spiked bits to the police and to have a horse-free wedding.
The video was produced on the heels of an enforcement drive conducted by Lucknow police in which 70 spiked bits were seized.

Furious vegetarian demands Alan Joyce be SACKED after Qantas removed meat-free meals from domestic flights - as the airline makes a humiliating backflip after customer backlash
- Qantas reverses decision limiting food offerings on most domestic flights
- It decided no vegetarian meals or special diet options on flights under 3.5 hours
- But the under-fire airline announced it will now offer a zucchini and corn fritter
Qantas has buckled to a storm of complaints from vegetarian and vegan passengers and reversed a decision to stop offering meat-free meals on domestic flights.
The under-fire Australian airline recently said it had 'simplified' meals on flights of less than 3.5 hours to make life easier for its crew by giving them just one meal to serve - a chicken and leak pie.
More than three million Australians are either vegetarian or vegan.
Despite the airline backing down on its menu, the high-profile executive and vegetarian who led the protests believe that Qantas boss Alan Joyce should be sacked anyway.
Qantas has buckled to a storm of complaints from vegetarian and vegan passengers and reversed a decision to stop offering meat-free meals on domestic flights - but one critic says its Alan Joyce who needs to come 'off the menu'
A vegetarian businessman, Jon Dee, took to social media to vent that he had been offered 'chicken pie or nothing' on a Qantas flight from Adelaide to Sydney. Will it be the gaffe that brings down Alan Joyce?
Environmental entrepreneur Jon Dee says Qantas has been 'rubbish' since Covid and that Mr Joyce should be 'off the menu'.
Of all the errors and letdowns Qantas passengers have endured, including lost baggage, cancelled and delayed flights, the decision to cut its domestic menu to a chicken pie could be what brings the Qantas boss undone, Mr Dee said.
'If you add together all the vegetarians, vegans, people who eat a certain way for their health, like gluten-free, and everyone who eats kosher or halal that's a lot of disappointed passengers, he said.
Of all the errors and letdowns Qantas passengers have endured, its decision to drop vegetarian meals was one of the worst, said Mr Dee (Pictured John Dee with lifelong friend Olivia Newton John)
The airline backed down on its decision to offer no vegetarian meal options on flights of less than 3.5 hours, and will now offer a zucchini and corn fitter (Pictured, a stock photo of corn and zucchini fritters)
On Friday the airline's product and service executive manager, Phil Capps, announced that a zucchini and corn fritter would be rushed back onto the menu as an evening meal on all domestic flights.
'We’ve heard the message loud and clear about having vegetarian offerings on all of our flights and so we’re making that change as a priority,' Mr Capps said.
He added that the airline would roll out 'a broader menu, which includes new vegetarian options'.
Mr Capps said the airline would also reintroduce fresh fruit to all flights, which he said was withdrawn because of Covid policies.
Qantas has been under fire over luggage delays and flight delays, but its decision to cut its menu back to a chicken pie could be what brings down its CEO, a high profile environmental executive believes
Mr Dee said any CEO would be tested by the Covid pandemic, but he claimed Alan Joyce (pictured left) had failed that test and should be removed by the Qantas board
People with special diets, or who preferred a meal prepared in line with their religious beliefs, were also impacted by Qantas restricting their meal options recently.
The decision produced a storm of criticism from passengers, including Mr Dee.
'What kind of airline stops offering vegetarian food to its passengers? It was chicken pie or nothing tonight,' Mr Dee tweeted after a flight from Adelaide to Sydney.
He also questioned whether Qantas boss Alan Joyce was 'deliberately trying to run Qantas into the ground?'
Mr Dee was pleased Qantas reversed the decision but said the vegetarian meal gaffe was 'one mistake too far'.
'It's good to see Qantas listen, but there's still the question of whether Alan Joyce should stay on the menu. I think it's time for him to be taken off the menu by the Qantas board - he's no longer fit for purpose as Qantas CEO.'
Mr Dee said while Covid 'would test any good CEO', but Mr Joyce had failed.
'You just have to look at how far Qantas has fallen since Covid, which was a test test for any good CEO, but there's been one error after another, especially in the last few months, with missed flights, lost luggage.
Hundreds of passengers were left stranded at airports as the east coast is hammered with rain (pictured, lines at the airport)
'There's even been the story of someone who only got their bags back after three months. There are just too many mistakes being made.
'The Qantas we have no is rubbish compared to classic Qantas, which was a premium brand,' Mr Dee said.
'Australians want to go back to the classic Qantas that everyone loved.'
Mr Dee said he prefers being 'a quiet vegetarian' but felt the need to speak up.
'I don't like to ram my views down other people's throats but I needed to speak up on this.'

World opinion shifts against Russia as Ukraine worries grow
NEW YORK (AP) - The tide of international opinion appears to be decisively shifting against Russia, as a number of non-aligned countries are joining the United States and its allies in condemning Moscow´s war in Ukraine and its threats to the principles of the international rules-based order.
Western officials have repeatedly said that Russia has become isolated since invading Ukraine in February. Until recently, though, that was largely wishful thinking. But on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, much of the international community spoke out against the conflict in a rare display of unity at the often fractured United Nations.
The tide had already appeared to be turning against Putin even before Thursday´s U.N. speeches. Chinese and Indian leaders had been critical of the war at a high-level summit last week in Uzbekistan. And then the U.N. General Assembly disregarded Russia´s objections and voted overwhelmingly to allow Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to be the only leader to address the body remotely, instead of requiring him to appear in person.
That shift against Russia accelerated after President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday announced the mobilization of some additional 300,000 troops to Ukraine, signaling the unlikelihood of a quick end to the war. Putin also suggested that nuclear weapons may be an option. That followed an announcement of Russia´s intention to hold independence referenda in several occupied Ukrainian regions with an eye toward possible annexation.
Those announcements came at the very moment that the General Assembly, considered the premier event in the global diplomatic calendar, was taking place in New York.
Numerous world leaders used their speeches on Tuesday and Wednesday to denounce Russia´s war. That trend continued Thursday both in the assembly hall and at the usually deeply divided U.N. Security Council, where, one-by-one, virtually all of the 15 council members served up harsh criticism of Russia - a council member -- for aggravating several already severe global crises and imperiling the foundations of the world body.
Belarus' Foreign Minister Vladimir Makei speaks during a high level Security Council meeting on the situation in Ukraine, Thursday, Sept. 22, 2022, at United Nations headquarters. The tide of international opinion appears to have decisively shifted against Russia, as a number of non-aligned countries joined the United States and its allies in condemning Russia's war in Ukraine and its threats to the principles of the international rules-based order. Only one country, Belarus, a non-council member and Russia ally that was invited to participate, spoke in support of Russia, but also called for a quick end to the fighting, which it called a "tragedy."

The apparent shift in opinion offers some hope to Ukraine and its Western allies that increasing isolation will add pressure on Putin to negotiate a peace. But few are unduly optimistic. Putin has staked his legacy on the Ukraine war and few expect him to back down. And, Russia is hardly isolated. Many of its allies depend on it for energy, food and military assistance and are likely to stand by Putin regardless of what happens in Ukraine.
Still, it was striking to hear Russia´s nominal friends like China and India, following up on last week´s remarks, speak of grave concerns they have about the conflict and its impact on global food and energy shortages as well as threats to the concepts of sovereignty and territorial integrity that are enshrined in the U.N. Charter.
Brazil registered similar concerns. Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa make up the so-called BRICS bloc of countries, which has often shunned or outright opposed Western initiatives and views on international relations.
Only one country, Belarus, a non-council member and Russia ally that was invited to participate, spoke in support of Russia, but also called for a quick end to the fighting, which it called a "tragedy."
"We hear a lot about the divisions among countries at the United Nations," Secretary of State Antony Blinken said. "But recently, what´s striking is the remarkable unity among member states when it comes to Russia´s war on Ukraine. Leaders from countries developing and developed, big and small, North and South have spoken in the General Assembly about the consequences of the war and the need to end it."
"Even a number of nations that maintain close ties with Moscow have said publicly that they have serious questions and concerns about President Putin´s ongoing invasion," Blinken said.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi was careful not to condemn the war but said that China´s firm stance is that "the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries should be respected. The purposes of the principles of the U.N. Charter should be observed."
Indian Foreign Secretary S. Jayashankar said "the trajectory of the Ukraine conflict is a matter of a profound concern for the international community." He called for accountability for atrocities and abuses committed in Ukraine. "If egregious attacks committed in broad daylight are left unpunished, this council must reflect on the signals we are sending on impunity. There must be consistency if we are to ensure credibility," he said.
And Brazilian Foreign Minister Carlos Alberto Franca said immediate efforts to end the war are critical. "The continuation of the hostilities endangers the lives of innocent civilians and jeopardizes the food and energy security of millions of families in other regions, especially in developing countries," he said. "The risks of escalation arising for the current dynamics of the conflict are simply too great, and its consequences for the world order unpredictable."
Foreign ministers and top officials from Albania, Britain, France, Ireland, Gabon, Germany, Ghana, Kenya, Mexico and Norway delivered similar rebukes.
"Russia´s actions are blatant violation of the Charter of the United Nations," said Albanian Foreign Minister Olta Xhacka. "We all tried to prevent this conflict. We could not, but we must not fail to hold Russia accountable."
Mexican Foreign Secretary Marcelo Ebrard called the invasion a "flagrant breach of international law" and Irish foreign minister Simon Coveney said: "If we fail to hold Russia accountable we send a message to large countries that they can prey on their neighbors with impunity."
Unsurprisingly, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov was unapologetic and defensive at the same time and specifically targeted Zelenskyy. Citing a phrase often attributed to President Franklin Roosevelt, Lavrov called Zelenskyy "a bastard," but said Western leaders regarded him as "our bastard."
He repeated a long list of Russia´s complaints about Ukraine and accused Western countries of using Ukraine for anti-Russia activities and policies.
"Everything I´ve said today simply confirms that the decision to conduct the special military operation was inevitable," Lavrov said, following Russian practice of not calling the invasion a war.
Russia has denied being isolated and the foreign ministry used social media to publicize a number of apparently cordial meetings that Lavrov has held with foreign minister colleagues at the UN in recent days.
Still, Blinken and his colleagues from other NATO nations seized on what they believe to be growing opposition to and impatience with Putin.
And, several speakers, including Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba and British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly, pointed out that Lavrov skipped the meeting except for his speaking slot.
"I notice that Russian diplomats flee almost as quickly as Russian soldiers," Kuleba said, referring to Lavrov´s hasty exit along with recent Russian troop retreats in Ukraine.

Coronation Street has released a chilling first look at Friday's deadly gun showdown amid Kelly Neelan's dramatic exit on the hit ITV soap.
In the new snaps, it sees the moment Kelly's revenge plot goes horribly wrong and sees her suddenly not only fighting to save Gary Windass' life, who she wanted dead for killing her dad Rick Neelan, but also fighting to save her own.
Earlier this week, Kelly asked and offered £10K to gangster Kieron to kill Gary after finding out he was behind her father's murder, resulting in him being kidnapped.
However, after a crisis of conscience, Kelly did a dramatic U-turn and ordered Kieron to call off the hit, warning that she would call the police if he didn't.
Finding himself holding all the cards, Kieron decided to kidnap her at the end of Wednesday's episode while Gary managed to escape from the woods as he headed to save Kelly with Aadi Alahan - but it was too late, she had been taken.
In upcoming scenes, Kieron forces Gary and Kelly onto a rooftop and reveals his plan to kill Kelly and frame her for Gary's murder, making it look like murder-suicide.
As a gunshot rings out, who has taken the bullet?
It comes as soap fans think that Aadi could be killed in a shocking twist, especially after a clue earlier this week where he shared a sweet moment with sister Asha and dad Dev.
As the trio hugged, Aadi declared: "Remember this, whatever happens" and viewers now think he will be killed off.
Taking to Twitter, one person said: "Aadi gonna die saving Kelly #corrie #coronationstreet."
A different account put: "Anyone got a feeling aadi might die as a shock factor? #Corrie."
Another follower said: "My guess is that Aadi ends up dying trying to save Kelly and Kelly leaves afterwards #Corrie #Coronationstreet."
While a different viewer added: "What makes Kelly being kidnapped worse is that sweet innocent Aadi will no doubt end up in the firing line but I suppose Kelly threatening Kieron with the police didn't help her case #Corrie."

Olivia Wilde cuts a chic figure in a power blazer as she steps out in New York City... ahead of scandal-ridden Don't Worry Darling release
Olivia Wilde stepped out in New York City on Thursday, sporting a sharp black blazer with padded shoulders.
The 38-year-old director and actress looked casual and chic as she joined the look with a pair of blue jeans.
It comes one day before her headline-making film Don't Worry Darling premieres in theaters.
Big Apple: Olivia Wilde stepped out in New York City on Thursday, sporting a sharp black blazer with padded shoulders
The New York native tucked a scoop-neck white tank top into her denim trousers, which had a stylish hole at one knee.
She rounded out the look with a pair of yellow sneakers with white laces and a gummy sole.
The mother-of-two added a touch of glamour to her getup, sporting a pair of classic black Ray Bans shades.
Her outfit was accented with gold jewelry as she sported multiple necklaces, a tiny hoop in one ear, and a bracelet.

And coordinating the look, she draped a black handbag over her shoulder, which was complete with a gold chain strap.
Olivia appeared to go makeup-free and she pulled her highlighted hair into a loose, informal bun.
The Booksmart director sported a deep, glossy red manicure on her short nails as she carried her iPhone in one hand.
Just days ago she attended the New York City premiere of her buzzed-about feature film.

Details: The Booksmart director sported a deep, glossy red manicure on her short nails as she carried her iPhone in one hand
Earlier this week she hit back at reports of a feud with the leading actress, Florence Pugh.
Olivia addressed the pair's widely-rumored falling out on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Wednesday, insisting she has 'nothing but respect' for Florence, 26, despite being plagued by claims to the contrary.
She gushed about Florence's performance in the controversial movie, and suggested being questioned about the feud is sexist because it's not something her 'male director colleagues are answering.'
The actress also doubled down on claims she fired former leading actor Shia LaBeouf, 36, insisting he issued her an 'ultimatum' of choosing between him and Florence, and clarifying: 'I chose Florence.'

Shutting down: Olivia Wilde has hit back at reports of a feud with her 'sensational' Don't Worry Darling leading actress Florence Pugh
When asked by Stephen if she was 'feuding' with Florence, Olivia shut down rumors of tension between the pair as she gushed over the star's 'sensational' performance in the film.
Wilde, who is dating lead star Harry Styles, has been at the center of speculation about a reported on-set rift with Florence, with original co-star Shia also adding to the drama.
But she has now described Florence as a 'super hero' and insisted she has 'nothing against her for any reason' as she doubled down on her denial of any spat.
'She is sensational in this film. And it is about her being brave enough to listen to the brave people who've come before her who everyone else has ignored and trust her instincts,' Olivia said.
Praise: Olivia gushed about Florence's performance in the controversial movie, and suggested being questioned about the feud is sexist because it's not something her 'male director colleagues are answering'
'And she is the one brave enough to dismantle the system. She is a super hero. And Florence Pugh is as good at dramatic work as she is at action. There are real action sequences in the film. She has a run which I refer to as her 'Tom Cruise run.' It's the most impressive run I've ever seen,' she added.
Seeming to address claims that Florence had scheduling conflicts for a press conference at Venice Film Festival, Olivia said there is 'nothing cooler than a busy actress.'
'I have nothing but respect for Florence's talent. She's fantastic. She's on the set of her movie Dune right now. There's nothing cooler than a busy actress. I have nothing against her for any reason,' Olivia said.
Florence skipped a press conference for the film because her flight allegedly would land too late for her to get there, though she was seen nearby enjoying an Aperol Spritz while it was taking place.
Rumors: The director, 38, addressed the pair's widely-rumoured falling out on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Wednesday, insisting she has 'nothing but respect' for Florence, 26
Feud? The actress also doubled down on claims she fired former leading actor Shia LaBeouf, 36, insisting he issued her an 'ultimatum'
Commenting on a video of Florence enjoying her cocktail at the time, Stephen said: 'People pointed out that she was having an Aperol Spritz during the press conference and didn't show up for it.'
To which Olivia cryptically replied: 'They did point that out.'
She added, 'I think what's funny is like, I don't feel like my male director colleagues are answering questions about their cast,' and was met with applause from the studio audience at the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York City.
Rumored conflict: Director Olivia, who is dating lead star Harry, has been at the centre of speculation about a reported on-set rift with Florence (both pictured in the movie)
'These are not questions to give a director. They should be talking about the movie itself,' Stephen added, while admitting that he was giving into the appetite by asking her about the rumors.
Olivia reportedly came into conflict with Florence during filming, as the Black Widow star was said to be unhappy over allegations that Olivia 'hooked up' with Harry while engaged to Jason Sudeikis.
Olivia and Jason, 46, got engaged in 2012 and share children Otis, eight, and Daisy, five. They were thought to have split in November 2020 and Olivia made headlines with Harry in January 2021.
While it's never been confirmed that Olivia and Harry's romance began while she was still engaged to Jason, Page Six reported that Florence fell out with Olivia over the coupling.
Then in the lead-up to the film's release, Florence did little-to-no promotion for the movie and was seen enjoying a cocktail nearby in Venice as she skipped a press conference for Don't Worry Darling.
The rumors intensified when Olivia suggested Florence should have a 'wake-up call' in a leaked video, shared by Shia as he refuted Wilde's claim that he had been fired.
Shia was originally set to star in Don't Worry Darling before Olivia replaced him with Harry, with Olivia claiming Shia's process was 'not conducive to the ethos that I demand in my productions.'
But in response, Shia - who claims he quit 'due to lack of rehearsal time' - shared an an email he sent to the director and a video that she allegedly sent to him, proving he walked away from the film rather than being fired.
Olivia said: 'It's a question of semantics. It wasn't going to move forward in a way he wanted it to, so he had to leave.'
Claims: Shia was set to star in Don't Worry Darling before Olivia replaced him with Harry, claiming Shia's process was 'not conducive to the ethos that I demand in my productions'

On this day in 2008: Sheff Utd win West Ham compensation claim over Carlos Tevez
A Football Association arbitration hearing ruled in favour of Sheffield United in their claim for compensation from West Ham over the Carlos Tevez third-party ownership affair, on this day in 2008.
The Blades were relegated from the Premier League at the end of the 2006/07 season when West Ham beat Manchester United 1-0 to secure top-flight safety, with Tevez scoring the only goal of the game.
However, the Hammers were fined a record £5.5million by the Premier League for fielding Tevez and Javier Mascherano as they were ineligible to play under league rules regarding third-party ownership.

Sheffield United wanted to have their place in the Premier League reinstated, insisting a monetary fine was insufficient, but after failing in this regard they aimed to achieve financial settlement.
Regarding the ruling, then-Blades chairman Kevin McCabe said: “I can confirm that both clubs have been notified of the ruling. The arbitration panel has awarded in our favour.
“The matter is still legally in process so I do not wish to comment any further until we have completed that process.”
A statement released by West Ham said: “The club need to digest the full findings of the arbitration panel and will consult lawyers before considering the next steps that we might take on this matter. It would not be appropriate to comment further at this stage.”
Both clubs eventually reached an out-of-court settlement over the Tevez affair in March 2009, with the agreement being described as “satisfactory settlement for compensation”.

19 retailers committed to zero-carbon shipping fuels by 2040
‘Support for maritime decarbonization has grown swiftly in just a short time,’ director of COZEV says
Cargo Owners for Zero Emission Vessels (COZEV) announced Thursday it gained 10 new retailers, bringing the total number of companies committed to switching all of their ocean freight to vessels that use zero-carbon fuels by 2040 to 19.
Zero-carbon fuels are expensive, if available at all right now. Building or retrofitting ocean vessels to run on those fuels also takes time and resources.
The industry will need many demand signals such as large retailers joining COZEV to scale production, improve technology and lower costs of zero-carbon fuels.
New additions to COZEV include:
- Target
- DuPont
- REI Co-op
- Philips
- Beiersdorf
- Electrolux
- ETTLI Kaffee
- Moose Toys
- Ohana Beverage Company
- Sisley
These 10 companies are joining Amazon, Brooks Running, Frog Bikes, Ikea, Inditex, Michelin, Patagonia, Tchibo and Unilever, which were the first nine retailers to launch COZEV in October 2021.
Since then, several large carriers and fuel suppliers have announced plans to advance green shipping fuels and build dual-fuel container ships with the capability to run on zero-emission fuels.
There is debate in the industry about which fuels should be considered carbon-neutral or zero-emissions. COZEV specified that liquefied natural gas does not meet its criteria, and the zero-carbon shipping fuels of the future will likely be hydrogen-based, such as e-ammonia or e-methanol.
“Support for maritime decarbonization has grown swiftly in just a short time due to the bold, climate-leading companies that are making their climate ambitions as freight customers clear to maritime carriers, fuel producers, ports and other value chain actors,” Ingrid Irigoyen, director of COZEV and the Aspen Shipping Decarbonization Initiative, said in a news release.
COZEV is facilitated by the Aspen Institute’s Shipping Decarbonization Initiative, whose partners include the Ocean Conservancy, Clean Air Task Force, Environmental Defense Fund and UMAS.
Shipping industry’s progress since COZEV launch
Since COZEV launched in 2021, huge industry players and governments have collaborated to make commitments and set goals to reduce emissions in shipping.
“In less than a year, COZEV has changed the narrative surrounding decarbonization in maritime shipping,” said Dan Porterfield, president and CEO of the Aspen Institute. “Cargo owners are kick-starting a clean energy transition in this critical industry.”
The First Movers Coalition was launched during the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) in November 2021. The coalition’s goal is to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors such as shipping through sending necessary demand signals to advance zero-emissions fuels and technologies.
Also during COP26, 22 nations signed the Clydebank Declaration. The goal of the declaration is to establish six green shipping corridors, which are zero-emission maritime routes between two or more ports, by 2025.
The declaration also aims to have at least 200 zero-emissions vessels using green corridors by 2030, Danish Transport Minister Benny Engelbrecht said at COP26.
Following the signing of the Clydebank Declaration, the ports of Shanghai and Los Angeles partnered to begin the transition to zero-carbon-fueled ships by 2030 and reduce greenhouse gas emissions along one of the world’s busiest cargo routes and at ports.
This Pacific shipping lane could be one of the first green shipping routes.
In July, legislators introduced the Clean Shipping Act of 2022. The act, if passed, would establish standards that limit the carbon intensity of fuel used by certain ocean vessels. The goal of the bill is to protect the health of port communities and address environmental injustice.
“The global economy’s maritime decarbonization journey is still in its early stages, but such progress in less than a year confirms for us that cargo owners can drive impact quickly when they come together,” Irigoyen said. “We are so pleased to welcome these new signatories, all important global brands, and look forward to helping support their leadership in the maritime decarbonization space.”

Growth will pay for UK government spending plans, minister says
LONDON, Sept 23 (Reuters) -
Economic growth will help to pay for Britain's plans to maintain government spending while it cuts taxes, a cabinet minister said on Friday ahead of a major fiscal announcement.
Asked by Sky News if his view last year that some tax increases would be needed to repair government finances still applied, Clarke said: "No, because what you're doing now is that you're going for growth..."
"The critical thing is we need to get the economy growing so that, frankly, the economic growth trajectory outstrips that of our debt." (Reporting by Andy Bruce; Editing by Kate Holton)

These are your rugby headlines on Friday, September 23.
Ken Owens returns
Wales and Scarlets hooker Ken Owens is set to play his first game of rugby in 11 months when he turns out for Carmarthen Quins in the Welsh Premiership on Saturday.
Owens, 35, has been out of action with a back injury for 11 months but has been named to start against Swansea this weekend.

His last fixture was in October 2021 for Scarlets against Leinster in the United Rugby Championship. This Welsh Premiership appearance will act as a stepping stone as he returns to match fitness ready for the URC.
It would be Owens' fourth World Cup should he make it to France 2023 with Wales. After initially being selected for Wales' autumn opener against the All Blacks last October, he withdrew and has not played since.
Thomas lands new job
Former Wales back-row Jonathan Thomas has landed a new job.
Thomas left stricken side Worcester Warriors at the start of the year and he has now been revealed as the new forwards consultant at Championship side Ealing Trailfinders.
"I’m really pleased to be here at Ealing and everyone at the club has been so welcoming, that I feel like I’ve been here for ages," said Thomas. "From speaking to Wardy [Ben Ward] it just felt like a really natural fit. I’ve played in this league before, I’ve coached in this league before and so I know how tough the Championship is and hopefully I can make a positive difference."
Director of rugby Ben Ward said: "I’m really pleased to have been able to recruit someone of JT’s quality and know-how to help aid our coaching team. He is an incredibly exciting coach with Premiership experience and also the knowledge of how to get a team promoted from the Championship after being part of the Bristol staff that did so. He’s already slotted in well to our set-up and I know the boys are learning a lot from him."
O'Gara hit with six-week ban for abuse
La Rochelle coach and former Ireland star Ronan O'Gara has been handed a six-week ban for abusing a match official during his side's 23-21 Top 14 win over Lyon earlier this month.
O'Gara had been suspended last season for a similar offence therefore this ban was increased by a fortnight, but his subsequent admission of guilt saw the extension removed. He now won't be seen on the touchline until October 31.
The official LNR statement read: “Mr Ronan O’Gara has been found responsible of ‘action against a match official’ and more particularly of ‘disrespecting the authority of a match official. It is on the higher degree of the scale of gravity, meaning a suspension of six weeks.
“After taking into account the aggravating circumstance (his disciplinary record), the penalty was increased by two weeks. After taking into account the mitigating circumstances (acknowledgement of guilt, conduct before and during the hearing), the sanction was reduced by two weeks. Mr. Ronan O’Gara is suspended for six weeks. Consequently, Mr. Ronan O’Gara’s suspension will end on October 31, 2022.”
Wales fly to New Zealand for World Cup amid inequality admission
Ioan Cunningham's Wales squad are en route to New Zealand for the Women's Rugby World Cup, with their opener against Scotland kicking off their campaign on October 9.
Cunningham named his 32-player touring party earlier this week, and now the group have travelled to New Zealand just over two weeks before their first group match, hoping to fit in some sort of friendly or training session against USA in the meantime.
But as for how Wales Women are travelling — in economy — Welsh Rugby Union performance director Nigel Walker admits there is some way to go in removing inequalities between the women's and men's Wales teams.
"The women are not going business class," he explained. "In Rugby World Cups you get a contribution from the governing body. We have used that contribution and booked flights accordingly.
"If you wanted to look for inequality between the men’s and women’s game, you wouldn’t have to look too far.
"We are trying to close that gap and we recognise that we have got a way to go, but the Welsh Rugby Union is committed to this women’s programme. But you highlight one of the equalities which currently exist."
Nevertheless, Wales Women have headed to New Zealand just over two weeks before their opener and have some time to acclimatise. "Yes but you are right to raise it," Walker added. "I could list the inequalities - I’m not going to do that - we have got a way to go but we have made a reasonable start.”
Flanagan's rallying cry
Dragons head coach Dai Flanagan says his side must do better after their eye-opening start to the season.
The Rodney Parade side were thumped by Edinburgh in the first round of fixtures in the URC and Flanagan knows only hard work will placate their proud supporters.
“We were all disappointed with our inaccuracy and we’ve been working hard to put that right,” he said. “It’s a hard-working group here and they have reacted positively. They know they can be better and it's important we show that on the weekend. We must move forward, and we must move forward quickly.
“We need to put up a much better showing, but also we need to make people around this region proud of what we're representing. There are good people in the region, in every club in the region, and our club needs to represent that.”
It's Munster in Newport next up for the Dragons on Sunday (3pm) in what will likely be another tough afternoon for Flanagan's boys. But last season's poor record at home is fuelling them this time around, he said.
“First and foremost, it's about putting some wrongs right, and Rodney Parade is a factor, and we need to build on that,” he said.
“I don't think anyone in the region is happy with how it was last season. We have got our first opportunity this weekend to change that. I've been on the opposition and it's a tough, tough crowd to play in front of. When you make a mistake, they are on top of you. If the home team get anything, they celebrate. We need that this weekend more than ever.”
Former England coach in talks with Racing
Former England coach Stuart Lancaster is in talks with French club Racing 92. Current Racing director of rugby Laurent Travers is set to take a role higher up in the team and appeared to confirm talks with Lancaster when quizzed about it on Thursday.
"I'm going to be clear, a lot things are written, a lot aren't true," he said. "There have been talks and there are talks, we're not going to hide it."
Should Lancaster leave Leinster it would be a huge blow for Irish rugby. The 52-year-old has done stellar work with the province since his appointment and his departure would open up a huge void.
Leinster's head coach Leo Cullen said of the link : "So we are in a period of speculation, shall we say, and we can't comment on other people's speculation, but there has always been things going on in the background.
"We are very lucky that we have a very strong group, some great people in our building and that’s credit to a lot of the work that goes on over the last number of years, so we are very lucky in that regard.
"But the reality is there is lots of other clubs who look at the talent, whether that is players or coaches, we have, and that is something we have to deal with all of the time and people make different decisions at different stages.
"And we are trying to talk about one person specifically who has been and amazing since he came into Leinster. So that's just part and parcel of the business we are in."

Edinburgh roadworks: Roseburn Terrace traders could receive compensation over construction of new cycle route
Traders in Roseburn are “delighted” after councillors agreed to look at paying them compensation for some of the business they have lost due to construction work on a new cycle route outside their shops.
Let us know what you think and join the conversation at the bottom of this article.
George Rendall, who runs art gallery and picture framers Art Et Facts on Roseburn Terrace, said he was pleased at the decision, which came after the traders told councillors how their income had fallen dramatically, some shops had closed and others believed they might follow.
He said: “We don’t know what we’re going to get yet, but we’re happy they have listened to us and agreed to try to help.”
Most Popular
A previous motion to the council calling for a compensation scheme was rejected in March, but Lib Dem Euan Davidson, elected in May in Corstorphine/Murrayfield, proposed the move again at the full council and support from all sides.
The traders told the meeting by videolink the disruption from the roadworks for the City Centre West to East Link (CCWEL) cycle route was having a huge effect on Roseburn Terrace.
One trader, Niall Menzies, said: “When people don’t shop we struggle and we’ve been struggling since spring. One month in and work stopped – possible asbestos. It took four weeks to get someone in to say the amount was so small work shouldn’t have stopped in the first place.
"We needed customers to get used to coming back to us post-lockdown and that was beginning to happen. Instead they’re now getting used to going somewhere else. Waiting for a year would have helped us. This work is ill-timed, non-essential, putting unnecessary strain on us at a difficult time.
"I had to borrow money to keep us going. Work stopped for July and August and we started to see an increase. The day the barriers went up again two Mondays ago we took in £26. We need help now.”
Cllr Davidson said many of the shops were highly dependent on passing traffic. “We are facing the loss of successful businesses that survived the pandemic,” he said, “They are the lifeblood of Roseburn.
"All we’re asking for is support to carry our community through this tricky transition while the project is completed. The council has already done this in places like Leith Walk and Haymarket previously.”
He acknowledged concern about setting a precedent. But he said: “We’re not talking about regular roadworks.
"There’s clearly a different impact when we’re talking about these large-scale infrastructure projects that last for months and even years. These businesses will have had this impact for almost an entire years if the completion is on time.”
Also agreed was the SNP’s call for principles to be established governing potential future schemes to compensate businesses for disruption from infrastructure projects.
Corstorphine/Murrayfield SNP councillor Frank Ross said there ought to be consistency in how the council approached the issue. He said: "It’s not acceptable that items such as compensation are budgeted for in some projects and not in others.”
And he acknowledged businesses could benefit from improvements in walking and cycling infrastructure. But he said: “The benefits an only be reaped if businesses survive during the construction to the point that the benefits arise. And we’ve seen businesses fail in Roseburn during this construction period."
Cllr Ross said there would be a cost for the compensation scheme. But he said: “The traders have previously attempted to engage with the council, demonstrating how they could assist in designing and delivering a scheme.
"During my 10 years-plus in the council I have seen papers brought forward about unexpected costs and where these projects are favoured the paper always contains the words ‘can be met from existing budgets’. I would suggest this should be a favoured project.”

Traveller drag queen George Ward who featured in Ru Paul's Drag Race as Cherry Valentine dies aged 28
- Drag queen George Ward, known as Cherry Valentine, has died aged 28
- Ward appeared on the second season of Ru Paul's Drag Race UK in 2021
- In a heartbreaking statement, their family said: 'Our lives will never be the same'
Drag performer and mental health nurse George Ward, known by their stage name Cherry Valentine, has died at the age of 28, their family have announced.
George, who died on Sunday and went by Georgie, appeared on the second series of RuPaul's Drag Race UK, before launching a TV career and fronting the BBC documentary Gypsy Queen And Proud.
A statement from their family said: 'It is with the most heart-wrenching and deepest sadness to inform you that our George - Cherry Valentine - has tragically passed away.
'This will come as a profound shock to most people and we understand there is no easy way for this to be announced.
'As his family, we are still processing his death and our lives will never be the same.
Drag performer George Ward, known by their stage name Cherry Valentine, has died at the age of 28, their family have announced
'We understand how much he is loved and how many lives he has inspired and touched. All we ask is for your patience and your prayers in this time. We love you Georgie.'
Georgie, who identified as gender-fluid, was raised in Darlington, County Durham as part of the Traveller community and qualified as a mental health nurse in 2015, before starting their career in drag.
Good Morning Britain presenter Charlotte Hawkins was among those paying tribute to drag performer George Ward, known as Cherry Valentine, following his death.
She tweeted: 'Very sad to hear that Cherry Valentine has died, aged just 28. We met back in June at Epsom - so full of life then, it's hard to believe. Sending love to George's family & friends, just heartbreaking.'
Drag queen and author Glamrou, real name Amrou Al-Kadhi, said of George: 'Winded by the devastating news about Cherry Valentine. I can't believe it. A true queen. Rest in peace my dear.'
In December 2020, Georgie was announced as one of 12 contestants competing in the second series of the UK version of RuPaul's Drag Race.
In their introductory video for the show, they described their Cherry Valentine alter-ego as 'glamour', 'dark' and 'gothic'.

They said their work as a nurse had 'put me in that right position to be able to understand people a bit more.
'If you are a drag queen you are working with people. And to understand people I think you go the extra mile.'
When filming of the show had to pause mid-season due to the pandemic, George started working shifts in a vaccination centre in Manchester.
Georgie had said: 'Covid was such a massive shock to everyone and I felt, 'Well, I'm a qualified nurse I need to be doing something.'
'Drag is my passion and my dream but I do love being a nurse - it's something I'll always do.'

They also performed publicly and appeared in music videos by artists such as Charli XCX.
After appearing on the show, Georgie joined with the BBC to produce a documentary exploring their Traveller heritage.
In the 2022 special, called Gypsy Queen And Proud, they revisited the community he left aged 18.
Georgie opened up about the difficulties of growing up as a queer person in the Gypsy community in the eye-opening documentary.
They grew up as part of Romany Traveller community in Darlington, but left at the age of 18 after receiving a negative reaction from their family when they came out as gay.

The drag artist revealed they struggled to view their sexuality in a positive light after being spat on, physically assaulted and harassed with homophobic slurs at school.
Appearing on BBC Three documentary Gypsy Queen and Proud, Georgie revealed that they no longer have a relationship with the Traveller community or members of their extended family.
'My experience growing up as a queer person in that community really affected my entire life,' said George.
'I constantly have this pressure on me of trying to be perfect all the time. I've built this image of who I should be and it's not who I am deep down. The feeling of being someone I don't want to be, Cherry doesn't feel that as much as I do'.
After their stint on Drag Race UK, Georgie revealed they had received messages on social media with racist, anti-Traveller slurs.
In January 2021, Georgie said: 'At the minute I'm very fluid in my gender… and growing up wasn't easy.
'There were times where I left home for a bit and just had a bit of a meltdown.
'In the Traveller community, there's a lot of pressure on young people to marry, to settle down, to have a family and to get a job to support the family.
In January 2021, Georgie said: 'At the minute I'm very fluid in my gender… and growing up wasn't easy'
Georgie was raised in Darlington, County Durham as part of the Traveller community and qualified as a mental health nurse in 2015, before starting their career in drag
'I think that's why I used to lie so much and say I had girlfriends.'
In Gypsy Queen and Proud school Georgie said they 'felt different', and faced harassment from bullies who would verbally and physically abuse them.
As Georgie got older, they felt pressure to conform to gender roles within the community and decided to write their parents a letter revealing they were homosexual.
'There was a lot expected of me when I was 16 or 17 and I didn't know how I needed to act. I was sick of pretending', they said.
'I felt like I was weak because I couldn't pretend, I couldn't just fit in. Why was I different? I hated myself for it.
In Gypsy Queen and Proud school Georgie said they 'felt different', and faced harassment from bullies who would verbally and physically abuse them
As Georgie got older, they felt pressure to conform to gender roles within the community and decided to write their parents a letter revealing they were homosexual
Georgie had briefly left home after writing the letter, and says they were left suicidal after opening up about their sexuality.
After moving away at 18, Georgie met more like minded people and developed their drag alter-ego Cherry, calling their stint on Drag Race a 'massive eyeopener'.
'I was around so many people who accepted themselves a lot more than I felt I did, said Georgie. 'Being around people who accepted themselves a bit more made me realise I have a bit more opportunity than I felt I did.'
In the 2021 documentary Georgie said they now had a good relationship with their mum and dad, and had begun speaking with their brother - insisting the best way to make progress was 'educating people on things they don't understand'.

Pound slumps to fresh 37-YEAR low against the US dollar - under $1.12 - and UK government's borrowing costs surge as markets brace for Kwasi Kwarteng's 'Emergency Budget'
Sterling fell to a fresh 37-year low against the dollar today as the markets braced for Kwasi Kwarteng's 'Emergency Budget'.
The Pound fell around 0.6 per cent to hit $1.117, chalking up another unwanted record stretching back to 1985.
The currency was holding ground against the euro, with much of the slide down to the greenback's strength - but there is mounting nervousness about the government's strategy of borrowing for an energy bill freeze and sweeping tax cuts.
Markets have pushed up the government's interest rates on debt to an 11-year high.
Derek Halpenny, head of research at MUFG, warned the pound could fall further over policies that 'lack credibility and raise concerns over external financing pressures given the budget and current account deficit combined looks to be heading to around 15 per cent of GDP'.
Of the international banks and research consultancies polled by Reuters last week, 55 per cent said there was a high risk confidence in British assets would deteriorate sharply in the coming three months.
Sterling fell to a fresh 37-year low against the dollar today as the markets braced for Kwasi Kwarteng's 'Emergency Budget'
Meanwhile, Bank of England policymaker Jonathan Haskel said yesterday that the central bank was in a difficult position as the government's expansionary fiscal policy appeared to place it at odds with the BoE's efforts to cool inflation
Economists have voiced alarm at the massive borrowing that will be required to cover the hole in the government's books.
The two year freeze on energy bills for households and businesses announced earlier this month could cost more than £150billion by itself, while the tax cuts could add a further £50billion to the tab.
The respected IFS think-tank suggested it would be the biggest tax move since Nigel Lawson's 1988 Budget, when Ms Truss's heroine Margaret Thatcher was PM.
The dangers of ramping up the UK's £2.4trillion debt mountain while the Ukraine crisis sends inflation soaring have been underlined by the continuing slide in the Pound against the US dollar, reaching a fresh 37-year low of barely 1.11 this morning.
In August and September so far the 10-year yield on government gilts has seen the biggest increase since October and November 1979, emphasising the nervousness of markets about the situation.
However, Ms Truss and Mr Kwarteng argue that ramping up economic activity can make up the difference, pointing to decades of lacklustre productivity improvements.
Mr Kwarteng will unveil a huge package of tax cuts in the House of Commons this morning

Irish rugby star Chris Farrell has stepped back from his involvement with Munster Rugby after cases were referred to a French criminal court over allegations that a young female student was raped.
Mr Farrell is not accused of rape, but has been accused of "not stopping a crime".
Three former FC Grenoble rugby players who were accused of rape in Merignac in 2017 have been referred to the Assises Court of Gironde, the Bordeaux Court of Appeal confirmed on Thursday.
They are: Irishman Denis Coulson (28), New Zealand native Rory Grice (32), and Frenchman Loick Jammes (27).
Two other former Grenoble players, Mr Farrell (29), and New Zealander Dylan Hayes (28), have also been referred to the Assises Court, alleged of “not stopping a crime”.
Munster Rugby said in a statement: "Munster Rugby and Chris Farrell have agreed that, with immediate effect, he will be stepping back from his involvement with the Munster squad whilst legal proceedings in France, concerning his alleged involvement as a witness to an alleged crime in 2017, are on-going.
"As this is an active legal matter before the French courts, we have no further comment."
The five players can still appeal the decision to the Court of Cassation.
The Assises Court is the only French court consisting of a jury trial and tries serious criminal cases, while the Court of Cassation is the highest court in the French judiciary. It ensures "a uniform interpretation of law" rather than the facts of a case.
Reports in France say that the players claim any contact with the accuser was consensual.
Farrell started for Munster in their opening United Rugby Championship game last weekend, but was replaced in the 59th minute as the Reds lost 20-13 in Cardiff.

Goa Hotel Owner John D'Souza Arrested By Hyderabad Cops In Drugs Case
GOA/HYDERABAD: A team of Hyderabad police and Hyderabad Narcotics Enforcement Wing (H-NEW) arrested the owner of a restaurant at Anjuna in Goa, in an alleged drugs case that is connected to the drugs bust in Osmania University Police Station limits. As per sources John Steven D'Souza, who owns the Hill Top restaurant at Anjuna and is said to be a kingpin and mastermind behind drugs being supplied to various states from Goa, was arrested along with one Tukaram Salgaonkar on Wednesday.

Steve’s name had come during the interrogation of Goa-based alleged drug Peddler Pritesh Narayan Borkar by the H- NEW who was picked up from Hyderabad with Ecstasy Pills, LSD Blots and MDMA at Habsiguda under Osmania University PS limits recently.
John is also said to be one of the accused in connection with the murder case of the Haryana BJP leader Sonali Phoghat who was allegedly administered drinks laced with drugs which was procured from Pritesh Narayan Borka by the accused.
The Hyderabad Narcotics police have produced him before a Goa court and have brought him to Hyderabad on a Transit warrant in the morning.
This was after Osmania University Police officials and the H-NEW team had received credible information from a gang they caught in Goa during a joint operation that he was the main drug supplier. They had conducted a secretive operation for the past four days and took John D’Souza into custody.
A press meet will be held on Friday at 4 pm by DCP East Zone M Ramesh & DCP HNEW at Basheerbagh where further details about the case will be revealed.

SRINAGAR: Standing on a fortified Kashmir street, an Indian tourist poses triumphantly for her husband's camera, clutching the national flag in each hand and flanked by two soldiers carrying rifles.
India's hottest new travel destination is also the site of its deadliest insurgency, where regular skirmishes break out between separatist militants and Indian troops, half a million of whom are stationed in Kashmir.
A big-budget tourism campaign, inaugurated early last year, is luring Indians to Kashmir with the promise of stunning Himalayan scenery, snow-covered hill stations and the remote Hindu shrines dotting the Muslim-majority region.
More than 1.6 million Indian travellers visited the disputed territory in the first six months of this year -- a new record, according to local officials, and four times the number that visited over the same period in 2019.
Many fraternise and take selfies with soldiers, and are dismissive of the regular firefights between troops and rebels taking place out of sight from popular destinations.
“Now everything is fine in Kashmir,“ Dilip Bhai, a visitor from India’s Gujarat state, told AFP while waiting in queue outside a restaurant guarded by paramilitary forces.
“The news of violence we hear in media is more rumour than reality,“ he said, adding that whatever armed clashes were happening “on the side” did not worry him.
Security forces have tightened a chokehold on Kashmir -- also claimed and partly controlled by Pakistan -- since 2019, when India's government revoked the limited autonomy constitutionally guaranteed to the region.
That year, thousands of people were taken into preventative detention to forestall expected protests against the sudden decision, while authorities severed communications links in what became the world's longest-ever internet shutdown.
Public protests have since been made virtually impossible, local journalists are regularly harassed by police and the region is shut off to foreign reporters.
But clashes still break out in the territory almost every week, with officials counting 130 suspected rebels and 19 members of the security forces killed over the first six months of the year.
The constitutional change opened up land purchases and local jobs to Indians from outside Kashmir, and for residents, this year's influx of travellers is the final insult.
“Promotion of tourism is good, but it is done with a kind of nationalist triumphalism,“ a leading Kashmiri trader told AFP, asking not to be named for fear of government reprisal.
“It’s like war by other means,“ they added. “The way tourism is being promoted by the government is telling Indians: go spend time there and make Kashmir yours.”
'We changed past perceptions'
A 1989 rebellion against Indian rule in Kashmir started a long-running insurgency that killed thousands of people and sparked a panicked migration of Hindu residents from the Muslim-majority valley.
Periodic attempts to revive the tourism market faltered, with three popular uprisings between 2008 and 2016 leaving more than 300 civilians dead and scaring off potential visitors.
But after Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government revoked Kashmir's limited autonomy three years ago, authorities again began promoting the region to Indians as one of the country's premier getaway destinations.
A promotional blitz followed, with festivals, travel marts, roadshows and summits featuring Indian travel operators, sponsored by the local government and 21 major cities across India.
The government announced the opening of a ski resort among 75 new “untapped destinations” for tourists, including some close to the heavily militarised de facto border that divides Kashmir between India and Pakistan.
Authorities are also courting investors to build 20,000 hotel rooms in addition to the 50,000 already in the territory, and they eased a homestay policy to encourage residents to host visitors.
Sarmad Hafeez, the local government’s tourism secretary, told AFP that the official budget to promote tourism had “quadrupled” in the past two years.
“We changed past perceptions about Kashmir,“ he said. “Events sent out a clear message that Kashmir is safe to travel to.”
'Last nail in the coffin'
India's drive to open Kashmir's remarkable landscape to tourism comes as the rest of its established economy languishes after the change in the territory's status.
Drastic curbs on civic life and an intensified counterinsurgency campaign have stifled local business.
The government has also removed tax barriers that had helped protect local production from outside competition.
“This was the last nail in the coffin of our manufacturing industry,“ Shahid Kamili, president of the Federation Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Kashmir (FCIK), told AFP.
Industrial production accounts for 15 percent of the local economy, according to FCIK data -- three times the most optimistic figures for the tourism sector.
But 350,000 industrial workers lost their jobs since the region's autonomy was rescinded, Kamili said.
The region's potential for growth as a travel destination remains hampered by its violent history and prevailing unhappiness with Indian rule, leaving some visitors unnerved by the heavy security presence.
“If Kashmir is a part of India,“ a tourist from West Bengal told AFP, “then we should ask why there are so many security forces everywhere.” - AFP

Marijuana stays on doping banned list; opiate tramadol added
GENEVA (AP) - Marijuana use will remain banned at sports events after the World Anti-Doping Agency on Friday resisted calls to change its status on the list of prohibited substances.
The agency was asked to review the status of THC - the psychoactive ingredient in cannabis - after the case of United States sprinter Sha´Carri Richardson, who did not go to the Tokyo Olympics last year. She served a one-month ban after testing positive at the national trials meet where she won the 100 meters. The sprinter said she had smoked marijuana as a way of coping with her mother´s death.
In a separate decision, the opiate tramadol will now be banned when athletes are competing from January 2024, the WADA executive committee decided at a meeting in Sydney, Australia.
Athletes who use cannabis were consulted by WADA-appointed experts whose conclusions included that it was "against the spirit of sport," the agency said.
Positive tests for THC at races and events, though not in training, can therefore continue to trigger bans as short as one month.
The debate "is not straightforward," WADA director general Olivier Niggli acknowledged Friday.

"WADA is also mindful that the few requests for THC´s removal from the Prohibited List are not supported by the experts´ thorough review," he said. "We are also conscious that the laws of many countries - as well as broad international regulatory laws and policies - support maintaining cannabis on the List at this time."
WADA also noted the high threshold level to register a positive test for THC which is "consistent with a significantly impaired athlete or a frequent user."
Tramadol has been an issue in cycling which outlawed its use at races starting in 2019.
After the Tour de France in July, Nairo Quintana was disqualified from sixth place when two samples showed traces of the synthetic painkiller. He was not banned and is challenging his disqualification at the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
"Tramadol abuse, with its dose-dependent risks of physical dependence, opiate addiction and overdoses in the general population, is of concern and has led to it being a controlled drug in many countries," WADA said.
The in-competition ban will be enforced in January 2024 giving time to educate athletes and team doctors and "address the safe use of tramadol for clinical purposes," WADA said.
The International Cycling Union's medical rules state "commonly reported adverse side effects of tramadol are dizziness, drowsiness and loss of attention, which are incompatible with competitive cycling and endanger other competitors."

Britain's Kwarteng scraps top rate of income tax
LONDON, Sept 23 (Reuters) - Britain's new finance minister Kwasi Kwarteng said on Friday he would scrap the country's higher rate of income tax and cut the basic rate from April next year, as he set out a mini-budget designed to spur economic growth.
Kwarteng said from April 2023 Britain would have a single higher rate of income tax of 40 per cent. He also said he would cut the basic rate of income tax to 19 pence in April 2023, one year earlier than expected. "That means a tax cut for over 31 million people in just a few months' time," he told parliament. (Reporting by Kate Holton and David Milliken; editing by William James)

Britain to scrap cap on banker bonuses to keep City competitive
By Huw Jones
LONDON, Sept 23 (Reuters) - Britain will accelerate moves to bolster the City of London's competitiveness as a global financial centre by scrapping the cap on banker bonuses ahead of an "ambitious deregulatory" package later in the year, finance minister Kwasi Kwarteng said on Friday.
The cap limits bonuses to twice a banker's basic salary, with shareholder approval, and was introduced in the European Union to curb excessive risk taking after taxpayers had to bail out lenders in the global financial crisis.
The move was already flagged, triggering anger as Britain faces a cost of living crisis, forcing the government to spend billions to help households pay their energy bills.
Britain and the Bank of England have always opposed the cap, introduced in 2014, saying it simply bumps up basic pay.
"We need global banks to create jobs here, invest here and pay taxes here in London, not in Paris, not in Frankfurt and not in New York," Kwarteng told parliament.
"All the bonus cap did was to push up the basic salary to bankers or drive activity outside Europe, it never capped total remunerations... As a consequence of this ... we are going to get rid of it."
Banks and finance recruiters have said scrapping the bonus cap would likely take time to have an effect - as many bankers' had their fixed pay lifted in recent years to make up for constrained bonuses. The banking industry had been prioritising other demands to boost competitiveness, including scrapping government levies on bank profits.
Britain has already set out a draft law before parliament to make its capital market and system of financial rulemaking more efficient as the City faces added competition from Amsterdam, Paris and Frankfurt now that Britain has left the EU.
Britain's new Prime Minister Liz Truss has signalled she wants to go further to "unshackle" the City from remaining rules inherited from the EU.
Kwarteng said the financial services sector will be at the heart of the government's programme to drive growth in the economy.
"To reaffirm the UK's status as the world's financial services centre, I will set out an ambitious package of regulatory reforms later in the autumn," Kwarteng said.
The finance ministry said in documents accompanying Kwarteng's speech that the "deregulatory" package will unleash the potential of the sector.
"This will include the government plan for repealing EU law for financial services and replacing it with rules tailor made for the UK, and scrapping EU rules from Solvency II to free up billions of pounds for investment," the ministry said.
The BoE has already proposed easing Solvency II, a set of capital requirements for insurers inherited from the EU, but insurers want more capital released. (Reporting by Huw Jones; editing by William James and Kim Coghill)

VIDEO: Ranbir Kapoor rushes to help fans who fall down while trying to catch a glimpse of the actor
Ayan Mukerji and Ranbir Kapoor paid a surprise visit to a theatre in Thane screening Brahmastra.
Brahmastra stars Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt have been promoting their film in full swing. The actors, along with director Ayan Mukerji had been traveling non-stop for the promotional events of Brahmastra, which released two weeks ago. Today, on the occasion of National Cinema Day, Ayan and Ranbir left their fans surprised after they visited a theatre screening Brahmastra. Needless to say, fans were elated to meet Ranbir, and the actor was seen greeting his fans in the theatre.
While some fans tried to click pictures with him, others interacted with Ranbir. The crowd was a little out of control, and a video shared by the paparazzi on social media shows a group of enthusiastic fans falling down on the barricades as they tried to get a glimpse of the actor. Ranbir was shocked at first, but he quickly rushed to the fans and helped them get up. Reacting to the video, one social media user wrote, “Public needs to be careful at such events,” while another one praised Ranbir and commented, “love ranbir sir.” Check out the video below.
Ranbir Kapoor looked dapper in an all-black outfit, while Ayan Mukerji opted for a white T-shirt and added a checkered shirt over it, pairing them with cargo pants.
Brahmastra Part One: Shiva is bankrolled by Star Studios, Dharma Productions, Prime Focus, and Starlight Pictures. Apart from Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, Brahmastra also stars Nagarjuna Akkineni, Amitabh Bachchan, Mouni Roy, and had a cameo appearance by Shah Rukh Khan. The film marks Alia and Ranbir’s first on-screen collaboration.
Meanwhile, Ranbir Kapoor will next be seen in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal co-starring Rashmika Mandanna. He also has Luv Ranjan’s untitled film with Shraddha Kapoor.

Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt-starrer 'Brahmastra' has managed to win hearts on the big screen. The movie is doing impressive business at the box office as it has already garnered Rs 360 crores worldwide. While the fans are enjoying the film on big screens, Ayaan Mukerji has released the fees charged by Alia and Ranbir for the film, and it will make your jaw drop.
Earlier, several reports were doing rounds on the internet stating the couple did not charge a single penny for the film. Confirming the news, director Ayan Mukerji said that Ranbir did not take any money for doing the film. Further, he also revealed that a small amount was charged by Alia, however, even she also let go of her fees for Brahmastra.
In a recent interview, the director told trade expert Komal Nahta that Ranbir did not charge the fees he usually takes for movies.
" I think without this, we wouldn’t have been able to make this film. It is a very very big thing because it wouldn’t have been possible to make this film without that kind of support, and I don’t know how many other people can do this," Ayan said.
Talking about Alia's remuneration, Ayan revealed that she said yes to the film eight years back when she only had two or three films in her pipeline. He also said that the actress fees for this film was not a huge amount.
"But that small amount also, by the time we completed the filming, Alia said that her fee has gone into the making of the film, so whatever budget we got, we put it into the film," Ayan added.
The director also said that the majority of the money was spent on VFX and bringing quality content.
Apart from Alia and Ranbir, the movie also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna, and Mouni Roy in pivotal roles. The movie was released on big screens on September 9.

I have spoken to many candidates for office over the years, from all walks of life. I don’t believe I had spoken to one who is called “Coach” before, but that ends today with Cameron “Coach Cam” Campbell, the Democratic nominee for HD132. Campbell is a University of Houston graduate and public speaker/entrepreneur. He has been a basketball coach and athletic director at KIPP Houston High School and now serves as a Play Safe Coach for the Houston Texans. He won a close primary this March and now faces a tougher challenge in a district that went from swing to more Republican after redistricting. Here’s what we talked about:

More than 1,100 migrants in 21 boats arrived on Britain's shores yesterday - the third highest daily figure this year as 2020 total soars past 31,000
- So far this year, 31,665 people have crossed the channel - more than all of 2021
- The MOD said 21 boats were caught on Thursday carrying around 1,150 migrants
- Lifeboats picked up the migrants in the middle of the English channel yesterday
More than 1,000 people crossed the English Channel in small boats the day after the total for the year exceeded 30,000, according to Government figures.
The Ministry of Defence has confirmed that 21 boats were intercepted on Thursday carrying 1,150 people.
This is the third highest daily figure in 2022 and brings the total to have made the crossing so far this year to 31,665.
The number of arrivals this week has led officials to erect special tents at Dover, Kent, to keep migrants covered as they appear to be overflowing from existing facilities while being processed.
Scores of people were brought ashore throughout the day on Thursday with volunteer crews on RNLI lifeboats from Dover, Dungeness and Eastbourne all involved in rescuing people from dinghies mid-channel.
Some were brought to safety at Dungeness near Lydd yesterday with men, women and young children were helped down the ladder from the lifeboat. Two bewildered youngsters aged four or five wrapped in winter coats and lifejackets could be seen.
The numbers who have arrived so far this year have already far exceeded last year's total of 28,526.
The Ministry of Defence has confirmed that 21 boats were intercepted on Thursday carrying 1,150 people
Men, women and children were brought down on ladders from the lifeboat onto the pebble shoreline
In 2020 just 8,410 made the crossing of the 21-mile Dover Straits.
It means the number of asylum seekers brought ashore in September so far now stands at 6,625.
Windy conditions had prevented migrants from risking the treacherous journey crossing the two busiest shipping lanes in the World since September 15 when 617 asylum seekers were intercepted.
More than 400 commercial vessels including tankers and container ships use the channel shipping lanes each day.
But calmer conditions in the last few days has enabled crossings to resume.
On Wednesday more than 60 people were brought ashore by the Dungeness Lifeboat onto the beach near Lydd in Kent where they were met by immigration officials and taken on board buses to a processing centre.
Men, women and children were brought down on ladders from lifeboats onto the pebble shoreline while others were brought into the harbour at Dover.
A further 45 had to be rescued by French authorities after getting into difficulties off the Calais coast overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday.
Dover MP Natalie Elphicke said: 'With these shocking record numbers of illegal crossings, getting the small boats crisis under control should be a key priority.
Calmer conditions in the last few days has enabled crossings to the high levels seen throughout the year
'With the approach of Winter, the seas will get rougher and the weather colder- inevitably the risk of further loss of life will increase. That's why urgent action is needed to stop these dangerous crossings.'
Border Force vessels are now using a newly constructed docking station in an area of the port which was a former jetfoil terminal away from public areas. A large fence has also been put up to screen the area off from the public.
It is more than five months since then-home secretary Priti Patel announced plans to send migrants to Rwanda to try to deter people from crossing the Channel.
Since then, 26,397 people have arrived in the UK after making the journey.
On April 14, Ms Patel signed what she described as a 'world-first' agreement with Rwanda, under which the East African country would receive migrants deemed by the UK to have arrived 'illegally' and therefore inadmissible under new immigration rules.
However, the first deportation flight, due to take off on June 14, was grounded amid legal challenges.
Several asylum seekers, the Public and Commercial Services Union and charities Care4Calais, Detention Action and Asylum Aid, are embroiled in court cases with the Home Office as they challenge the legality of the policy.

Derry Chamber CEO Anna Doherty says Kwarteng mini-budget fails to address business pressures
The Interim Chief Executive of the Chamber of Commerce Anna Doherty has said British Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng's mini-budget fails to address the pressures facing Derry businesses in a 'targeted way'.
Ms. Doherty said local businesses need greater clarity about how energy relief schemes designed for Great Britain will work in the north.
She has called again for local political leadership and the formation of an Executive in Belfast.
“Today’s Mini Budget largely represents a swathe of tax measures but fails to address the scale of pressures facing businesses and non-domestic users in a targeted way. It is disappointing that this week’s announcements of energy relief schemes for both businesses and households have not been built upon.
"Businesses are seeking clarity as to how these schemes will apply on a local basis, where our energy markets are different than in Great Britain," said the Chamber Interim CEO.
Most Popular
VAT reductions are one measure that would help, she said.
“The Chamber has been pressing the need for practical solutions to the rising costs facing businesses, including a reduction in VAT to 17% and for the reduced tourism and hospitality VAT rate to be reinstated for businesses that rely on household disposable income. The North West’s business community has shown huge resilience to this point, but requires a level of concerted assistance to get back on its feet.
“Of course, a functioning Executive is needed to tailor supports for business according to our local needs. It’s crucial that we see political leadership coming to the fore to assist local business at this time of crisis ahead of what looks to be a challenging winter ahead.”

Northern Ireland withdraws player over alleged slur
BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) - Northern Ireland took Kyle Lafferty out of its squad Friday for Nations League games after a video on social media appeared to show the veteran striker use a sectarian slur against Celtic.
The Northern Irish soccer federation said it was "aware of a social media video" circulating which it noted Lafferty´s Scottish club Kilmarnock was investigating.
Kilmarnock previously said it "finds all forms of discriminatory behavior completely unacceptable."
The video showed the 35-year-old Lafferty appearing to pose for a photo with a fan who then expressed support for Celtic, which traditionally is supported by fans of Catholic faith.
Lafferty, who played for Celtic´s city rival Rangers in two spells, was then heard using an expletive and derogatory term for Catholics and Irish nationalists.
Northern Ireland hosts Kosovo on Saturday and plays at Greece on Tuesday.

Here’s a glimpse of an unseen corner of Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan’s beautiful abode in Mumbai!
Bollywood’s power couple Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan moved to a new residence in Mumbai last year, and it is a gorgeous space that spells luxury and elegance.

Now, Kareena, who recently celebrated her birthday, has shared another sneak-peek into an unseen corner of her home, and it’s quite impressive.
Kareena Kapoor Khan took to her Instagram story to give a shoutout to a décor company for the balloons used to decorate the house on her birthday. Bebo shared a picture of her birthday décor, which also gave a glimpse of the beautiful al fresco dining space which seems to be a part of the rooftop. The picture showed the area covered from the sides with trellis, and some climber plants supported on them. The seating area was decked with wooden sofas and a wooden center table, and they added a rustic charm. Metallic-hued balloons hung from the roof as part of the birthday décor, and the entire area looked stunning despite being minimal.
Check out the picture below.
Meanwhile, Kareena’s birthday bash was attended by Malaika Arora, Manish Malhotra, Karisma Kapoor, filmmaker Karan Johar, Maheep Kapoor, Amrita Arora, Sanjay Kapoor. Parents-to-be Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Kapoor were also seen arriving at Kareena’s bash.

Hilary Mantel, the Booker Prize-winning author who turned Tudor power politics into page-turning fiction in the acclaimed “Wolf Hall” trilogy of historical novels, has died, her publisher said Friday. She was 70.
Mantel died “suddenly yet peacefully” on Thursday while surrounded by close family and friends, publisher HarperCollins said.
Mantel is credited with reenergizing historical fiction with “Wolf Hall” and two sequels about the 16th-century English powerbroker Thomas Cromwell, right-hand man to King Henry VIII.
The publisher said Mantel was “one of the greatest English novelists of this century."
“Her beloved works are considered modern classics. She will be greatly missed," it said in a statement.
Mantel won the prestigious Booker Prize twice, for “Wolf Hall” in 2009 and its sequel “Bring Up the Bodies” in 2012. Both were adapted for the stage and television.
The trilogy's final instalment, “The Mirror and the Light,” was published in 2020.
Nicholas Pearson, Mantel’s longtime editor, said her death was “devastating.”
“Only last month I sat with her on a sunny afternoon in Devon, while she talked excitedly about the new novel she had embarked on,” he said. “That we won’t have the pleasure of any more of her words is unbearable. What we do have is a body of work that will be read for generations.”
Before “Wolf Hall,” Mantel was the critically acclaimed but modestly selling author of novels on subjects ranging from the French Revolution (“A Place of Greater Safety”) to the life of a psychic medium (“Beyond Black”).
She also wrote a memoir, “Giving Up the Ghost,” that chronicled years of ill-health, including undiagnosed endometriosis that left her infertile.
She once said the years of illness wrecked her dream of becoming a lawyer but made her a writer.
Mantel's literary agent, Bill Hamilton, said the author had dealt “stoically” with chronic health problems.
"We will miss her immeasurably, but as a shining light for writers and readers she leaves an extraordinary legacy," he said.
Born in Derbyshire in central England in 1952, Mantel attended a convent school, then studied at the London School of Economics and Sheffield University. She worked as a social worker at a geriatric hospital, an experience she drew on for her first two novels, “Every Day Is Mother’s Day,” published in 1985, and “Vacant Possession,” which followed the next year.
In the 1970s and 1980s she lived in Botswana and Saudi Arabia with her husband, Gerald McEwen, a geologist.
Mantel had been a published novelist for almost 25 years when her first book about Cromwell turned her into a literary superstar. She turned the shadowy Tudor political fixer into a compelling, complex literary hero, by turns thoughtful and thuggish.
A self-made man who rose from poverty to power, Cromwell was an architect of the Reformation who helped King Henry VIII realize his desire to divorce Catherine of Aragon and marry Anne Boleyn — and later, to be rid of Boleyn so he could marry Jane Seymour, the third of what would be Henry's six wives.
The Vatican’s refusal to annul Henry’s first marriage led the monarch to reject the authority of the pope and install himself as head of the Church of England.
The dramatic period saw England transformed from a Roman Catholic to a Protestant nation, from medieval kingdom to emerging modern state, and it has inspired countless books, films and television series, from “A Man for All Seasons” to “The Tudors.”
But Mantel managed to make the well-known story exciting and suspenseful.
“I’m very keen on the idea that a historical novel should be written pointing forward,” she told The Associated Press in 2009. “Remember that the people you are following didn’t know the end of their own story. So they were going forward day by day, pushed and jostled by circumstances, doing the best they could, but walking in the dark, essentially."
Mantel also turned a sharp eye to Britain's modern-day royalty. A 2013 lecture in which she described the former Kate Middleton, wife of Prince William, as a “shop-window mannequin, with no personality of her own” drew the ire of the British tabloid press.
Mantel said she wasn't talking about the duchess herself but rather describing a view of Kate constructed by the press and public opinion. The author nonetheless received criticism from then-Prime Minister David Cameron, among others.
Right-wing commentators also took issue with a short story entitled “The Assassination of Margaret Thatcher,” which imagined an attack on the Conservative leader. It was published in 2014, the same year Queen Elizabeth II made Mantel a dame, the female equivalent of a knight.
Mantel remained politically outspoken. An opponent of Brexit, she said in 2021 that she hoped to gain Irish citizenship and become “a European again.”
Mantel is survived by her husband.

As the conflict on the Gyanvapi mosque-Shringar Gauri complex continues, the Varanasi court issued a notice to the Muslim side on the petition by the Hindu side in which it has sought carbon dating of the ‘Shivling’ reportedly found in the Gyanvapi Mosque complex.
The ‘shivling’ was found in the Gyanvapi masjid complex when the videography survey of the religious complex took place earlier this year. While the Hindu side has argued that the Shivling is proof that there is a temple before the mosque, the Muslim side has said it is not a shivling but a fountain in the complex.
On September 12, the court said it will continue to hear a petition seeking daily worship of Hindu deities whose idols are located on an outer wall of the Gyanvapi Masjid, dismissing the mosque committee's argument that the case is not maintainable.
It had rejected the Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee's petition questioning the maintainability of the case, which has reignited the Kashi Vishwanath temple-Gyanvapi Masjid dispute. The mosque committee's dismissed plea had cited the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act, 1991 to make its case.
Now, the court has allowed the carbon dating of the ‘shivling’ inside the complex, which will be able to determine its age. Here is how the entire carbon dating process works.
How will carbon dating of Gyanvapi ‘shivling’ determine its age?
Before understanding how the procedure can determine the age of the shivling, it is important to know what carbon dating actually means. Radiocarbon dating or carbon dating is a method used in the archeology sector.
The carbon dating procedure is a method which helps in determining the age of an object containing organic material by using the properties of radiocarbon, a radioactive isotope of carbon. The procedure dates back to the 1940s and is a widely used method across the globe.
All living things absorb carbon during their life span and when it dies, the carbon absorption stops. Thus, the experts carbon dating the shivling will take a sample from the surface of the stone and see how much C-14 it has accumulated, determining its age.
Further, it is expected that the carbon dating procedure inside Gyanvapi will begin soon, paving way for further proceedings in the dispute. It is also expected that the Supreme Court will be hearing the Gyanvapi masjid case soon.

West scrambles to bridge North-South divide aggravated by Ukraine war
By Michelle Nichols and John Irish
UNITED NATIONS, Sept 23 (Reuters) - The Western argument to internationally isolate Russia over its Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine has been simple: it breaches the founding charter of the United Nations by violating Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Western leaders are making that case at the annual high-level gathering this week for the U.N. General Assembly.
"Let us speak plainly. A permanent member of the United Nations Security Council invaded its neighbor, attempted to erase a sovereign state from the map," U.S. President Joe Biden told the assembly.
But as the West vies with Russia for diplomatic influence it is also recognizing that some states - particularly in the global South - are concerned about paying the price for being squeezed in the middle of an intense geopolitical rivalry.
Africa is worried about what it means for food security, aid, investment, trade and health. Latin America commodity exporters fret about market access.
"I have come to say that Africa has suffered enough of the burden of history, that it does not want to be the place of a new Cold War but rather a pole of stability and opportunity open to all of its partners," Senegalese President Macky Sall told the gathering.
Ultimately the world wants the war in Ukraine to end. Within a week of Russia's invasion, two-thirds of the 193-member U.N. General Assembly reprimanded Russia and demanded it withdraw its troops. But as the conflict has dragged on some countries have been reluctant to be seen taking sides.
French President Emmanuel Macron said in an impassioned speech that Western states would work to convince those who sit on the fence to do more to pressure Russia to end the war.
"It is neither revenge against the West, nor opposition of the West against the rest. It is urgent to build a new contract between the North and the South, an effective and respectful contract for food, the climate, biodiversity and education," he said.
To kickstart those efforts, Macron hosted a dinner in New York with eight countries from Africa, Asia and Latin America.
'WORDS OF TRUTH'
Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari told the General Assembly that the war in Ukraine would hinder "our capacity to work together to resolve conflicts elsewhere, especially in Africa, the Middle-East and Asia."
He said the war was "making it more difficult to tackle the perennial" U.N. issues, such as nuclear disarmament, the Rohingya refugees from Myanmar, Palestinians statehood aspirations and a "reduction of inequalities within and amongst nations."
Some countries have also called out double standards exposed by how the West has responded to Russia's war in Ukraine.
South Africa's International Relations and Cooperation Minister Naledi Pandor said founding U.N. principles had not always been applied consistently and fairly, describing the problem as: "We believe international law matters when this one is affected, but doesn't matter when this other one is affected."
She said global solidarity was needed to meet other challenges such as energy and food insecurity, climate change, other conflicts and the existential threat of nuclear weapons.
"Instead of working collectively to address these challenges, we have grown further apart as geopolitical tensions and mistrust permeate our relations," Pandor said.
Polish President Andrzej Duda used his U.N. address to tell "a few words of truth to us - the leaders of the rich North, or - as others might like to put it - of the West."
He questioned whether the West was "equally resolute during the tragedies of Syria, Libya, Yemen" and whether equal weight was given to condemning the invasion in Ukraine and issues such as "fighting mercenaries who seek to destabilize the Sahel and threaten many other states in Africa?"
"This is how I see the lesson learnt from this war: if the United Nations is truly to be united, every response to violations of international law should be identical - decisive and principled," Duda said. (Reporting by Michelle Nichols and John Irish; Editing by Mary Milliken and Grant McCool)

France and international partners announce plans to aid food production hit by Ukraine war
Meeting of fertilizer CEOs in Paris ahead of Bali G20
*
To launch emergency fertilizer purchase mechanism for Africa
*
Call on gas producers to limit price increases
(Adds detail and background)
PARIS, Sept 23 (Reuters) - France this week convened a meeting with partners including African nations, United Nations bodies and the European Union to urgently address the international food crisis resulting from the war in Ukraine, said the French Elysee presidential palace.
The meeting, held at the margins of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, comes as President Emmanuel Macron this week urged neutral countries - many of which are in the global South - to side with Ukraine and the West.
"Tensions on the food market are more exacerbated than ever in the context of the war in Ukraine," the French presidency said in a statement, reiterating its warning of a global food crisis caused by the war.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which started in late February, impacted the market for fertilizers and crops, many of which are produced in Ukraine, and this in turn has led to a sharp rise in food prices.
Ukraine was unable to export most of its crops this year due to the war while energy-intensive fertiliser production was severely hit by soaring power prices across the globe.
"The EU recalled the existing exemptions on all agrifood products and the provision of additional guidelines to clarify the applicability of its sanction regime towards Russia," the Elysee said, adding it also planned to launch an emergency fertilizer purchase mechanism for Africa.
A meeting with chief executives of fertiliser-producing companies will be convened in Paris ahead of the next G20 Summit in mid-November to scale-up production as fast as possible, the Elysee also said.
"Finally, we call on gas producers throughout the world to take responsibility for limiting price increases and ensuring market transparency, which are essential to maintain fertilizer production capacity in all regions of the world," added the Elysee.

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has called his famous 2006 volley at Villa Park the best goal he has ever scored.
With the ball cleared out for a corner, it loops and falls onto Scholes' left foot, the midfielder striking an inch-perfect volley from 25 yards into the top corner via the crossbar. The goal left a stranded Gabor Kiraly helpless between the sticks and it is one Scholes fondly remembers to this day.
Villa lost that game 3-0, Scholes' effort coming in between two Cristiano Ronaldo strikes for United just before Christmas on December 23, 2006. It is one that is still fondly remembered today by Man United fans and neutrals as one of the cleanest strikes in the history of the Premier League.

"Best goal you've ever scored? Villa away?" Neville asked. Scholes replied: "Yeah."
Neville followed up: "It has to be. It's the one goal I remember when you scored it, I was like 'oh my god, what the **** is that?! That's unbelievable'."

Martin Lewis calls Government mini-budget “a staggering statement” as Kwasi Kwarteng announces tax cuts & more
Money-saving expert Martin Lewis has branded the mini-budget, announced earlier by Chancellor of the Exchequer Kwasi Kwarteng, “a staggering statement”.
Martin Lewis has expressed scepticism after the Government laid out plans to boost the economy in a mini-budget statement this morning.
Voicing his opinion through a series of Tweets, the finance guru branded the changes "a staggering statement from a Conservative Party government".
Under the new leadership of Liz Truss, Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng outlined a series of tax cuts and other economic measures, including cutting the basic rate of income tax to 19p and abolishing the 45% top rate of tax for higher earners.
A scheduled increase in National Insurance has also been reversed.
Most Popular
How Martin Lewis responded to budget statement
Mr Lewis, founder of the Money Saving Expert website, commented on a number of the announcements made today.
On the abolishment of the top rate of income tax, he said: “From next April the 45% top rate of tax (applies to those earning £150,000) will be scrapped. So the top rate will be the 40% higher rate threshold.
“This means mega earners pay the same rate as those on £50,000.”
On moves to simplify the tax system across the board, he welcomed the idea, but questioned whether it could be achieved.
"The Office of Tax simplification will be wound down, and ‘all officials will be charged with simplifying taxes’," he said.
"Tax simplification is absolutely desired. Unfortunately I question whether any party can deliver on it. Rules tend to morph and move rather than get simple."
And on the overall statement, Mr Lewis said he was ‘confused’ at the Government’s seeming wish to distance itself from Boris Johnson’s changes, while at the same time being proud of its achievements.
"Isn’t this a new era, being distanced from the "highest tax rates since 1940s" administration?," he asked.
"Or is it claim ‘good’ bits, disown ‘bad’?"
Other changes in today’s announcement include the stamp duty threshold in England and Northern Ireland raised to £250,000 or £425,000 for first-time buyers.
In addition to this, the cap on bankers’ bonuses has been lifted, and a planned rise in corporation tax has also been scrapped.

Compute North Bitcoin Mining Firm Files for Bankruptcy
Umair Younas - Blockchain Reporter
2022-09-23 11:31
A Bitcoin mining platform Compute North has submitted a bankruptcy filing recently. During the current bear market, it has been difficult for firms to survive. The frequent liquidity crisis had resulted from the respective situation. Previously in July this year, for example, a couple of famous brands named Celsius Network and Voyager Digital Assets have already filed their applications for bankruptcy.
Compute North Submits a Bankruptcy Filing
In this respect, Compute North Holdings Inc. has come to the front as another instance. The platform has applied for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The venue, which provides hosting for Bitcoin mining, possesses assets worth ranging between $100M-$500M, as per the bankruptcy filing. A noteworthy thing here is that the firm owes almost $500M to a minimum of two hundred creditors. Kristyan Mjolsnes – the head of sustainability and marketing at Compute North – stated that the venue applied for bankruptcy just to get its business stabilized under the protection provided by the court.
In line with the details given on the official web portal of Compute North, the company was established back in 2017 to initiate mining activities. After that, it steadily spread its span to offer co-location facilities along with the cost-effective energy to serve the data centres. Formerly in 2022, the mining infrastructure company had collected an amount of approximately $385M in the form of debt and equity funding for financing the latest BTC mining-related data centres thereof.
The firm declared in April this year that the establishment of the project was going on in Granbury for a co-location facility of nearly 300 megawatts. At that time, Compute North’s co-founder and CEO – Dave Perrill – remarked that they were constructing the data centres’ new generation to cope with the unprecedented requirements of the technology of the coming generation with considerable preparation being done beforehand.
The Bankruptcy Filing Not to Influence Company’s Business
A notable thing is that Marathon Digital Holdings is considered among the consumers of Compute North. Recently, a Twitter post was shared by the venue in which it revealed that the BTC mining company’s filing for bankruptcy will not influence the present activities related to mining. It moved on to say that they are at the moment conversing with the provider of the hosting services as well as monitoring the advancement thereof.
Compute North asserts to offer hosting facilities for BTC mining at a huge scale along with the provision of hardware equipment related to these operations along with a pool for Bitcoin mining. Compute North’s position within the United States is that of a part of the biggest providers of data centres within the whole country. Marathon Digital and Compass Mining are known as the partners of the company across the entire industry of Bitcoin mining.
As reported by Bloomberg Business, David Pan took to Twitter to comment that there is a chance for Compute North to have gone through the implications in the case of the cost-based procrastination to the mining facility in Texas as it has not been potentially monetized for a considerable time.

HC directs Delhi govt to ensure advanced cardiac life support service installed in premises
"The Government of NCT of Delhi is directed to ensure that the ACLS service is installed in the Delhi High Court premises before the next date of hearing. As far as the district courts are concerned, the Government of NCT of Delhi is directed to explore the possibility of either stationing ACLS ambulances at each and every district court or to allow erection of porta cabins for provision of ACLS services in the district courts," the bench, in its September 21 order, said.
New Delhi: The Delhi High Court has directed the city government to ensure the advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) service is installed on the court premises before December 6. It also asked the Delhi government to explore the possibility of either stationing ACLS ambulances at district courts or erecting porta cabins for this service there.
A bench of Justices Manmohan and Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora asked the Delhi High Court Medical Committee to identify or earmark within two weeks space for setting up the ACLS services on the high court premises.
The high court further directed the Delhi Metro to explore the possibility of setting up of the ACLS services at all major interchange stations within six weeks and file an affidavit in this regard before the next date of hearing, that is, December 6.
"The Government of NCT of Delhi is directed to ensure that the ACLS service is installed in the Delhi High Court premises before the next date of hearing. As far as the district courts are concerned, the Government of NCT of Delhi is directed to explore the possibility of either stationing ACLS ambulances at each and every district court or to allow erection of porta cabins for provision of ACLS services in the district courts," the bench, in its September 21 order, said.
The high court directed that the committee and the Delhi government's Health Department in consultation with the respective district judges shall ensure that the entire staff in the trial courts are regularly sensitised about cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) guidelines of compression-only life support (COLS) for management of the victim with cardiopulmonary arrest and also about the use of Automated External Defibrillator (AED).
The bench was informed by one of the committee members who is the Chief Medical Officer attached to the high court that there is space available in the high court for setting up the ACLS service.
The high court, in 2018, had initiated a PIL on its own relating to the requirement of basic life support system at various public places.
It had asked various authorities, including the Centre through standing counsel Ajay Digpaul, Delhi government, Railways, DMRC and courts to inform it what steps they have taken to establish the centres giving basic cardiac life support (BCLS) as well as ACLS.
It had also asked regarding the infrastructure already provided and what they are going to provide in the new centres and also the number of personnel deployed at such centres and the future roadmap.
The court had also said that the affidavit shall also highlight about the training given to the persons who are going to be deployed at the centres and inform about the availability of ambulances.
On September 21, in pursuance to the high court's query whether BCLS as well as ACLS facilities are available at the Delhi High Court and the district courts here, the counsel for the high court handed over a status report on behalf of the registrar general as per which ACLS facility is not available at Patiala House, Karkardooma, Dwarka and Rouse Avenue Courts.
The report said Patiala House and Rohini courts do not have a physical infrastructure for setting up an ACLS centre and Tis Hazari Court has one ACLS ambulance which is stationed daily to transport patients to nearby Delhi Government empanelled private hospitals.
It further said that Rohini court has one Centralised Accident and Trauma (CAT) ambulance with essential equipments, a driver and one emergency medical technician to provide 24 hours services.

What does it all mean? Life, death, memory, family, love, loss and time all unfold gently around each other in Kogonada’s beautifully wrought sci-fi – a movie that also opens with a 5-minute shot of Colin Farrell playing the Just Dance video game with his adopted robot son.
Contradictions abound in After Yang, which is full of questions without answers and sadness without release. As delicate as a whisper, it’s often more metaphysical tone poem than straight-up sci-fi, yet the whole thing hangs heavily on a thread of future-tech cyborg storytelling.
Farrell, then, is Jake – a tea shop owner in a soft-focus future where everything looks like the inside of a Muji store. Jodie Turner-Smith is Jake’s wife, Kyra, and Mika (Malea Emma Tjandrawidjaja) and Yang (Justin H. Min) are their two adopted children. Also, Yang is the aforementioned robot.
Bought by Jake and Kyra as an instant older brother for Mika, Yang serves as a cultural bridge for the Chinese-born toddler – helping her to understand her roots. The problem comes when Yang starts questioning his own sense of self, raising questions about the morality of artificial intelligence alongside stickier issues of consciousness, purpose and what it means for any of us to be alive.
And that’s just the start. When Yang breaks down, Jake goes to get him fixed and finds a hidden chip inside his head that lets him replay short snippets of memories that gradually open the story even wider. Hints of past lives and loves send Jack on a detective mission to learn more about Yang’s origins, and most of the film plays in flashback (and memory bank TikTok montage) as we uncover deeper layers of truth and meaning.
Flowing smoothly to Aska Matsumiya’s ambient synth score (and occasionally to Mitski’s ‘Glide’, which becomes the film’s main theme), After Yang feels effortless. Directed with gentle grace by critic and essayist Kogonada (who also made the architecturally perfect Columbus in 2017), it’s not a film to rush watching or easily forget – even as it niggles with how uncomfortable everything becomes.
Self-driving cars and the occasional glimpse of a futuristic cityscape remind you that you’re watching science-fiction, but After Yang is about as far from every other robot story as it can get. Steven Spielberg’s A.I. Artificial Intelligence is an obvious touchstone, but Kogonada is clearly drawing his own inspirations from something more spiritual and fragile.
This is bleak, dystopian stuff (full of warm interiors that are all oddly cold), but the point here isn’t to make Jake and Kyra’s family appear distant. This is all of our stories – and Farrell and Turner-Smith do a brilliant job of anchoring everything in deep emotion.
Genuinely moving from the very beginning, expect to leave After Yang in a flood of tears. Expect, also, to spend the rest of the night questioning all the things that no one really likes thinking about. And, of course, to want to keep rewatching that dance scene on repeat.
Details
- Director: Kogonada
- Starring: Colin Farrell, Jodie Turner-Smith, Justin H. Min
- Release date: September 22 (in cinemas and on Sky Cinema)

Legendary investor Warren Buffett advises to be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful. One way we can try to measure the level of fear in a given stock is through a technical analysis indicator called the Relative Strength Index, or RSI, which measures momentum on a scale of zero to 100. A stock is considered to be oversold if the RSI reading falls below 30.
In trading on Thursday, shares of Urban Edge Properties (Symbol: UE) entered into oversold territory, hitting an RSI reading of 29.2, after changing hands as low as $14.12 per share. By comparison, the current RSI reading of the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) is 32.9. A bullish investor could look at UE's 29.2 RSI reading today as a sign that the recent heavy selling is in the process of exhausting itself, and begin to look for entry point opportunities on the buy side. The chart below shows the one year performance of UE shares:
Looking at the chart above, UE's low point in its 52 week range is $14.09 per share, with $19.96 as the 52 week high point — that compares with a last trade of $14.18.

Many Congress leaders in Karnataka, including chief DK Shivakumar, BK Hariprasad, and LoP Siddaramaiah were detained in Bengaluru on Friday over 'PayCM' posters across the city.
The Congress' 'PayCM' campaign is targeted against Chief Minister Basavaraja Bommai, who Congress claims had "extracted 40% commission from builders, contractors." The grand old party charged the ruling BJP with corruption in awarding public contracts and government recruitment.
Bommai's face figures in the middle of the QR code with the message "40 % accepted here".
The contractors' body had recently levelled bribery charges that contractors had to pay a 40 per cent commission to get public works contracts, a charge strongly denied by the government.
Soon after the matter came to the notice of the authorities, these posters in public places were removed. The BJP alleged that this was the handiwork of Congress.
Videos of police removing the posters have gone viral on social media platforms.

Less than on week after the editorial board of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette challenged candidates for the Keystone State's U.S. Senate seat to release their medical records, Mehmet Oz obliged.
As the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette said in its September 21 editorial:
Further delays in scheduling a debate between U.S. Senate candidates John Fetterman and Mehmet Oz have raised more questions about Mr. Fetterman’s health, including his ability to communicate and process information. He has increased his public appearances, but his speech remains halting, and he repeats key phrases like mantras.
To reassure the public, Mr. Fetterman ought to release the full results of his cognitive tests and other medical records, and make his doctors available to the media. Mr. Oz should release his medical records, too.
On Friday morning, Oz's campaign answered the PG's call and published a collection of doctors' letters, health records, and information on his previous diagnoses. "In the interest of full transparency over my own health, I saw my doctor again to get the most current appraisal of my health status," Oz explained. "I agree that voters should have full transparency when it comes to the health status of candidates running for office."
The years-worth of medical information leading up to this week released by Oz also includes a series of letters, starting with one in July 2014 from Dr. Rebecca Kurth following a regular checkup that found Oz in a normal, healthy condition. A DXA whole body composition scan led his doctor to conclude Oz was "super fit with ideal body composition!" In summary, Kurth said Oz was "in overall EXCELLENT health."
Another letter from Dr. Kurth following a regular checkup in January 2018 reaffirmed that Oz was in "overall EXCELLENT health" and his bloodwork and test results showed normal/healthy levels on the key metrics.
The most recent information comes, again, from Dr. Kurth based on a checkup on September 22, 2022. Once again, Kurth reiterated that Oz is in "overall EXCELLENT health" after an exam that showed he "is healthy and the blood tests are all favorable." Kurth's notes state that Oz is "well developed, well nourished, alert, in no apparent distress" and "oriented to person, place, and time."
Along with the letter from Kurth on his latest checkup, Oz also released his latest EKG (dated 9/22/2022) that showed normal/healthy heart activity and a pathology report for a pre-cancerous polyp that was discovered during a colonoscopy conducted the same year as part of The Doctor Oz Show.
The medical records and information released by Mehmet Oz provides significantly more information on his condition than what Fetterman's team has managed to put forward. As the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's editorial calling for both candidates to release their medical records noted:
So far, Mr. Fetterman’s campaign has reported a specific (and normal) score from his July Saint Louis University Mental Status Examination (SLUMS), but has said only that his more recent Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) test was “in the normal range.” The RBANS test results in distinct scores in five areas: immediate memory, visuospatial/constructional, language, attention and delayed memory. The campaign should tell voters how Mr. Fetterman performed in each category.
It would also be beneficial for voters in Pennsylvania to see the results of Fetterman's recent examinations and how medical professionals evaluate his condition now as well as his prognosis for the days and years ahead as Fetterman seeks a six-year term in the world's greatest deliberative body.
As has been the case since Fetterman won the Democrat primary for U.S. Senate earlier this year while undergoing treatment for a significant stroke and surgery to insert a pacemaker, Fetterman's campaign has been anything but transparent — even withholding the full picture of their candidate's health from Pennsylvania voters. That strategy of trying to keep Fetterman's condition cloaked in secrecy has earned the Democrat and his campaign ire from all sides, including the editorial board of the Washington Post.
Earlier in September, WaPo torched Fetterman's "unsettling" condition and resistance to debate Oz before early voting started in Pennsylvania, and also called on him to release medical records so the public can know the extent of his challenges so far and what he'll have to overcome to be an effective representative in the Senate:
Mr. Fetterman is asking voters for a six-year contract without giving them enough information to make sound judgments about whether he’s up for such a demanding job. We have called for full disclosure of health records from candidates for federal office in both parties, including Donald Trump and Joe Biden, and we believe Mr. Fetterman should release his medical records for independent review.

A Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader's son has been arrested for allegedly killing a 19-year-old woman working as a receptionist at a resort he owns in Pauri district’s Yamkeshwar block. Two employees at his resort were also arrested in connection with the murder of the woman who had had been missing for the last few days, police said.
The accused was identified as Pulkit Arya, son of Vinod Arya, a BJP leader from Haridwar, news agency PTI reported. Vinod Arya is also a former chairman of Uttarakhand Mati Kala Board. He has been granted a state minister's rank but currently does not hold any post in the Uttarakhand government.
Apart from resort owner Pulkit Arya, two others - manager Saurabh Bhaskar and assistant manager Ankit Gupta - have been arrested after confessing to have killed the missing girl and thrown her body into the Cheela Canal, PTI reported citing Pauri Additional Superintendent of Police Shekhar Chandra Suyal.
The accused had initially tried to mislead the police but made the confession after stern interrogation, the ASP was reported to have said. Search is underway for the victim’s body. The police said the case was cracked within 24 hours after it was transferred to regular police from the revenue police.
The three persons arrested have been sent to 14-day judicial custody by a Kotdwar court, police further informed. The woman’s parents had filed a missing report at the revenue police outpost on Monday morning after being unable to find her in her room.

Boston Celtics coach Ime Udoka was handed one-year ban after 'multiple violations of conduct rules' and he has also been handed 'significant' financial penalty after affair with female staffer: Owners face media for the first time
Boston Celtics majority owner Wyc Grousbeck says head coach Ime Udoka will receive a 'significant financial penalty' in addition to his one-year suspension following 'multiple violations of Celtics' conduct rules.'
Grousbeck and President of basketball operations, Brad Stevens, faced the media in the aftermath of suspending their head coach for the entirety of the 2022-23 season.
Udoka has been suspended for the entirety of the 2022-23 season for violating team policies.
The second-year coach, who led the C's to the NBA Finals in his debut season, is alleged to have had an affair with a female staff member within the Celtics organization.
Stevens elucidated the Celtics have a duty to look after women in their organization following the saga, amidst a wave of 'rampant bulls***.'
'We have a lot of talented women in our organization and I thought yesterday was really hard on them,' Stevens said of the rumor and innuendo surrounding Udoka and potentially involved parties.
'Nobody can control Twitter speculation and rampant bullshit, but I do think we have a responsibility to make sure we are there to support them.'
With numerous names thrown into the situation on social media, Grousbeck was explicit that only Udoka was 'facing penalty or reprimand.'
According to Stevens, Joe Mazzulla -- who has been an assistant with Boston since 2019 -- will be the team's interim head coach.
Stevens, who previously was the head coach of the Celtics, praised Mazzulla and illuminated what he will bring to an unquestionably talented roster.
'He's an exceptionally sharp and talented person,' he said. 'I believe strongly in him and his ability to lead people, to galvanize a room and get behind him.
'And his ability to organize and understand all that comes with running a team through the season.'
Stevens faced the press alongside Celtics majority owner Wyc Grousbeck on Friday morning

The pathway to regulatory approval for OSE’s neoepitope cancer vaccine, Tedopi, continues to be a key point of focus for the company. Following the presentation of positive data from the Phase III ATALANTE-1 trial over H122, OSE is discussing potential pathways to approval of Tedopi in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with the regulators. We expect an update on this in H222, with the possibility of inclusion in the FDA early access programme still on the table. Concomitantly, the company is preparing for further Phase III trials with Tedopi. In its H122 report, the company reported results that are largely in line with our estimates (excluding a €10m milestone payment from Boehringer Ingelheim). At end-June 2022, OSE reported a cash position of €31.2m, which, at our estimated FY22 burn rate of €20.4m, we forecast will fund the company to Q323.

Reusable contact lens users are nearly four times more likely to develop potentially sight-threatening eye infection, study says
- British scientists looked at more than 200 people who came to ER with either an eye infection or another illness
- They found Acanthamoeba keratitis was much more common among people who had reusable contact lenses
- Scientists suggested this was the case because the lenses were more likely to become contaminated
People who wear reusable contact lenses are nearly four times more likely to develop a rare eye infection that could rob them of their sight, a study has found.
The British scientists behind the research also warned that wearing lenses in the shower, swimming pools and while sleeping raised the risk too.
In the study, they looked at more than 200 daily or reusable contact lens users who came to clinics with either an eye infection or another illness.
They found Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) — which inflames the surface of the eye and can lead to blindness — was far more common among those who popped the same lenses into and out of their eyes.
The infection is triggered when the micro-organisms get onto contact lenses via a contaminated solution or dirty hands, and then enter the eye through tiny tears.
Patients suffer eye pain, redness, blurred vision, a cloudy look to the eye and, in severe cases, may end up losing their sight. Treatment includes antiseptics that must be placed directly onto the surface of the eye, possibly for six months to a year.
Pictured above is the cloudy looking eye that can be triggered by an Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) infection. About 85 percent of cases are among contact lens users (stock image)
Professor John Dart, an ophthalmologist at the Moorfields Eye Hospital in London, UK, and who led the study, said: 'In recent years we have seen an increase in Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK).
'[But] while the infection is still rare, it is preventable and warrants a public health response.'
He added: 'Previous studies have linked AK to wearing contact lenses in hot tubs, swimming pools or lakes, and here we have added showers to that list, underlining that exposure to any water when wearing lenses should be avoided.
'Contact lens packaging should include information on lens safety and risk avoidance, even as simple as "no water" stickers on each case, particularly given that many people buy their lenses online without speaking to a health professional.'
In the study — pulished in the journal Ophthalmology —, scientists combed through hospital records for an ER department in south-east England for patients with daily or reusable contact lenses.
They found 83 cases of AK that were seen at the unit between January 2011 and August 2014.
They then checked the records for the following year for contact lens users that came in for another illness, unrelated to the infection, and found 122 cases.
Each had also completed a questionnaire on their contact lens type and daily activities.
Results showed that among the 83 AK cases only 20 (24 percent) were daily disposable lens users.
But the other 63 (76 percent) were people that used either soft or rigid reusable lenses.
Statistics showed the risk of developing AK was 284 percent higher among those who used reusable lenses compared to daily lenses.
The scientists also examined whether certain activities made the infection more likely.
Of the 20 AK cases who answered the question on whether they wore lenses in the shower, 12 (60 percent) admitted to this.
For comparison, in the other group it was 25 out of 66 (37 percent)
In the paper, scientists said reusable contact lens users were at greater risk because they were more likely to contaminate their lenses.
On how to reduce the risk, they said lenses should not be worn overnight and contamination of the solution they are stored in should be avoided.
Less than 100 Americans suffer an AK infection every year.
But scientists warn that rates are rising, with more than 85 percent of cases detected exclusively among contact lens users.
Symptoms of the infection take several days to weeks to appear, but include blurred vision, eye pain and eye redness.
The eye may also start to appear cloudy to others, or even feel like there is something inside it.
Patients are normally offered antiseptics that must be applied to the surface of the eye to treat it.
But they can also be prescribed antibiotics or even offered surgery to help handle the infection.
An estimated 45million people in the United States alone wear contact lenses.

Pierre Gasly is still unsure whose colours he will be wearing next season as speculation over his Formula 1 future rumbles on.
The Frenchman will definitely be on the grid in 2023, given it was 'confirmed' earlier this summer he would be honouring the final year of his contract with AlphaTauri. But one of silly season's more significant twists means he might yet switch allegiance.
With the door closed to a second chance with Red Bull any time soon, Gasly has made no secret of his desire to consider other options. And after losing Fernando Alonso to Aston Martin and letting Oscar Piastri slip through their fingers, Alpine are the ones who are keen to offer him a fresh start.
Gasly is understood to be their top target to race alongside Esteban Ocon next year. But, in order for AlphaTauri to agree to let him leave a year earlier than planned, they must first find a replacement they are happy with.
It was originally supposed to be Colton Herta, but that move broke down as it became clear the FIA would not bend superlicence rules to let the American switch from IndyCar. But instead of immediately blocking Gasly's exit, they have instead turned to the in-demand Nyck de Vries after he was spotted meeting adviser Helmut Marko.
Gasly must now wait to see what de Vries' choice is for a 2023 seat, before knowing if he can leave for Alpine. And he admitted as much when he told Sky Sports: "At the moment this is out of my control.
"[AlphaTauri] have given me my first win in F1 and my first chance in Formula 1. It doesn't mean I'm going to stay there all my life because my ambitions in Formula 1 are to fight at the front, and that's what I want.
"It's been five years at AlphaTauri. We'll see if I do another year there, but at the moment that's what's planned. If this is what happened I'll give my 110% to this team. There are a couple of things that need to be sorted first before we talk more about this situation. In my situation there are only positives. We'll see what happens in the next few weeks."
If de Vries chooses AlphaTauri then Gasly will be free to complete his move, but if he were to choose Alpine – they also have interest in the Dutchman – then he will be forced to stay for another year. The same is likely to be true if de Vries were to opt for Williams, unless AlphaTauri have another name in mind as a possible replacement.

Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez refusing to take risks with his fitness as he admits he 'avoids cola and bread' out of fear of missing out on the World Cup for Argentina through injury
- Aston Villa star Emiliano Martinez wants to be fit for the World Cup in Qatar
- The 30-year-old is expected to be part of Lionel Scaloni's Argentina squad
- Martinez is not taking any risks and has stopped having bread and fizzy drinks
- Argentina start their World Cup campaign with the match against Saudi Arabia

Aston Villa and Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez is not taking any risks with his fitness ahead of going to the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
The shot-stopper is expected to start for Argentina in their tournament opener against Saudi Arabia on November 22 and is currently with the national team for their friendly match against Honduras.
Once back from international duty, Martinez will hope to play all nine games for Steven Gerrard's side but he is focused on not picking up any injuries.
Goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez is not taking any risks over his fitness ahead of the World Cup
The 30-year-old told Argentine newspaper Clarin: 'When we return from this tour, the month of October is left and nothing else.
'I was just talking about it with my brother, that in October we have nine or ten games with Aston Villa between now and the World Cup, which are going to go by very quickly. That is why we are enjoying this tour with the boys because it is the last one.
'I said that this year I was going to prepare like I never prepared in my life, but when you play so many games it's more about recovery and the fear of not getting injured. There is no time for anything now.
Martinez has cut out eating bread and drinking coke in order to boost his fitness
'Now someone gets injured for four to six weeks and is already half a foot out of the World Cup.
'It is normal for the player to be afraid. I am taking care of myself more than ever. I try not to touch bread. I win a game and I want to have a cola and I don't. These are things that I am changing to have the lowest possible risk of injury.'
Like many Premier League sides, Aston Villa have had their schedule change due to the death of Queen Elizabeth II, but Martinez is just focused on getting through the fixtures unscathed.
Villa have not started the season in an ideal fashion, as they have only won two of their seven games, leaving them 15th in the table.

ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. — Drivers in St. Louis County should expect a slowdown on Interstate 44 overnight from Sept. 30 into Oct. 1 as crews put the finishing touches on the new Big Bend bridge.
MoDOT said crews will start closing eastbound lanes at 8 p.m. on Sept. 30 and all eastbound lanes will be closed an hour later. At about midnight, crews will start closing westbound lanes and all lanes will be closed at around 1 a.m.
While the highway is closed, drivers will will still be able to get through the area by using the entrance and exit ramps, but drivers should expect significant slowdowns. MoDOT strongly encouraged drivers on Big Bend to find alternate routes.
The highway should reopen by 6 a.m. Saturday.
The closure will allow crews to remove the overhang that allowed them to build the bridge over I-44 in the Kirkwood and Crestwood areas.

Man wants to defend himself in fatal Wisconsin parade attack
A man accused of killing six people and injuring dozens of others by driving an SUV through a Christmas parade in Wisconsin last year wants to represent himself in a trial that is scheduled to begin in a little more than a week.
Darrell Brooks Jr.'s public defender, Jeremy Perri, filed a motion in Waukesha County Circuit Court Thursday requesting that he and assistant public defender Anna Kees be taken off the case because Brooks wants to represent himself.
A hearing on the motion has not yet been scheduled. But, if granted by Judge Jennifer Dorow, it could affect the Oct. 3 start date for Brooks' trial on six homicide counts and about 70 other charges. Four weeks has been set aside for the trial, according to the court calendar.
The motion is the latest development in a case that has seen some twists and turns. Brooks changed his not guilty plea last June to not guilty by reason of mental disease and defect, but two weeks ago withdrew the insanity defense.
Brooks offered little explanation for his decision when questioned by Dorow, saying, "I have my own reasons why." He confirmed he had discussed the change with his attorneys.
According to a criminal complaint, Brooks drove his SUV into the parade in Waukesha on Nov. 21. Witnesses said he was swerving and appeared to be intentionally trying to hit people. He was arrested minutes later as he stood on the porch of a nearby house asking the homeowner to help him call a ride.
Police said he had fled the scene of a domestic disturbance when he turned into the parade, although officers were not pursuing him at the time.
Last month, Dorow refused a defense motion to have the case against Brooks dismissed because of a July search of the defendant´s jail cell. Investigators and prosecutors were looking for information related to Brooks´ recent decision to change his plea.
His attorneys say the warrant for the search was deficient and that the action violated Brooks´ attorney-client privilege.
In denying the motion, Dorow said the paperwork seized, photocopied and returned to the jail cell was not privileged material.
Dorow also rejected a motion to suppress some statements Brooks made to investigators after defense attorneys argued that he continued to be questioned after stating he wished to invoke his right to remain silent.
At one point during the motions hearing, Waukesha County District Attorney Susan Opper asked the judge to note that Brooks appeared to have been sleeping during the proceeding. Dorow ordered a break and when the parties returned to the courtroom, Brooks lashed out and yelled at the judge before he was surrounded by three deputies and taken from the courtroom.

- Gunners have set the pace this season
- Picked up six wins from seven
- Wenger believes they can win the title
WHAT HAPPENED? Arsenal have made a brilliant start to the season, with 18 points from a possible 21 so far. That has put them top of the Premier League table and legendary ex-boss Wenger believes Mikel Arteta's side have a good chance of winning the league due to the lack of genuine opposition.
WHAT HE SAID: Speaking to Sky Sports, Wenger said: “I would say they have a good chance [of winning the league] this season because I don’t see any super dominating team. I believe that it is a good opportunity to do it this season.
"Of course, it’s a little bit of a special season as well because you have the World Cup in the middle and you don’t know how much that will affect the performances of the individual players and of the teams. Overall, I believe there is a good opportunity there this season.”
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Wenger was the last manager to win the Premier League at Arsenal, going unbeaten in the 2003/04 season. However, the subsequent years haven't been kind to the Gunners and they aren't even qualifying for the Champions League anymore with their last top-four finish coming in 2016.
IN THREE PHOTOS:
WHAT NEXT FOR ARSENAL? Perhaps the Gunners' biggest test of the season so far is their next match as they face arch-rivals Tottenham in the north London Derby straight after the international break. Due to Manchester City playing later that weekend, Arsenal could move five points clear at the top.

J&K govt to stop salaries of Kashmiri pandits on strike in valley
J&K govt to stop salaries of Kashmiri pandits on strike in valley
Srinagar (J&K): Cracking down on agitating Kashmiri pandits, who have been demanding their relocation to safer places outside the valley, the Jammu and Kashmir administration has issued orders to stop their salaries prompting an angry reaction from the employees who threatened to intensify their agitation.
The employees have been staging a dharna since May this year when one of them, Rahul Bhat, was shot dead by terrorists in broad daylight inside his office in Budgam in Central Kashmir.
After several backchannel talks with the agitating employees, the labour department of Kashmir and additional deputy commissioner, Anantnag, on Wednesday issued orders to stop the salaries of Kashmiri migrant employees on strike in the valley.
In his order, Deputy Labour Commissioner (DLC) Kashmir Ahmad Hussain Bhat directed the assistant labour commissioners across districts in the Kashmir valley to stop the salaries of these employees for September.
Bhat sought the leave accounts of all the employees of the department and said: “Further, salary for the month of September 2022 should not be drawn in respect of those PM package employees, who have remained absent during the month of September.” A similar order has been issued by the ADC Anantnag.
Also read: Relocate us to Jammu, demand Migrant Kashmiri Pandit employees
As many as 3,000 Kashmiri pandit youths had been accommodated under the Prime Minister’s Special Package in 2012. Irate over the orders, striking employees intensified their agitation, which entered its 133rd day on Thursday, calling the order a harassment and arm-twisting move to break their agitation.
Amid slogans of ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’, ‘We Want Justice’, and ‘We Want Relocation’, hundreds of employees held protests under the banner of All Migrant (Displaced) Employees Association Kashmir (AMEAK) – one of the organisations spearheading the agitation. “It is a step towards harassment of the community. It is a conspiracy against us.
“We honestly performed our duty for the last ten years in Kashmir until the selective killings of our employees, like Rahul Bhat, threatened the life and dignity of our community employees in the valley,” a protester told reporters here. “What is our crime? We have taught children of the majority community with utmost sincerity for ten years. Why are we being targeted and killed,” another employee said.
The employees said that on the one hand they are getting letters with death threats from terror outfits, and on the other, they are being forced to come to work and risk becoming sitting ducks for the militants to target.
“Please provide us security which is your prime duty. Why are you threatening us with these orders? We are not afraid of stopping of our salaries or anything else. If our lives are threatened, we will leave jobs,” said one of the leaders of the agitation. “We want to tell the government you cannot torture us and our families,” he said.
The Kashmiri Pandit employees recruited under the Prime Minister’s special rehabilitation package and posted in different parts of the Kashmir valley said they were soft targets for the terrorists and the government has failed to protect them.
They have been on an indefinite strike with a demand for their relocation outside the valley since the killing of their colleague Rahul Bhat on May 12.
Hundreds of the employees have already returned to Jammu and are holding regular protests at the office of the relief commissioner, while their colleagues in the valley are on protest at their camps. (Agency inputs)

Tennis-Laver Cup match briefly halted after protester sets arm on fire on court
LONDON, Sept 23 (Reuters) -
Play was briefly halted when a man ran on court and set his arm on fire during a Laver Cup match at London's O2 Arena on Friday.
The man, protesting about the use of private jets in Britain, sat down and lit a substance on his arm during the match between Stefanos Tsitsipas and Diego Schwartzman.
Security personnel acted quickly to drag the man off the court before play resumed following a quick check to make sure the court surface had not been damaged.
"A man accessed the court this afternoon and was promptly removed by security," a Laver Cup official said.
"Play was stopped briefly, he has been arrested and the situation is being handled by the police."
The man, who made his protest during the second set of the match, wore a T-shirt with the slogan "End UK Private Jets".
British media reported that he was a member of the End UK Private Jets group, which claims "carbon emissions in 2022 are genocide."
Tsitsipas went on to win the match 6-2 6-1 to give Team Europe a 2-0 lead over the Rest Of The World in the competition after Casper Ruud had earlier beaten Jack Sock 6-4 5-7 10-7.
Swiss great Roger Federer is due to take to the court later on Friday for the final match of his career, with the 41-year-old partnering his great rival Rafa Nadal against the American duo of Sock and Frances Tiafoe.

Don't we all love catching a glimpse of stunning rainbows covering the sky? A video has surfaced on the internet which shows what a rainbow looks like from the sky. Shared by a Reddit user named u/david-braintree, the 10-second video shows the spectacular view of a rainbow from the air.
Undeniably, rainbows are the most stunning displays. The video shows a woman skydiving while she perfectly captures the rainbow from her camera. The video was posted 12 hours ago and it has received 99,000 upvotes with 114 comments so far.
Watch the video here:
The Internet was amazed at the beauty of a full rainbow. A user wrote, “Damn, that IS interesting,” another user wrote, “Are rainbows just giant lens flares?”
Another video of a rare rainbow pileus (or 'scarf') cloud captured in China's Haikou City also went viral on social media. The video shows a mesmerising view of rainbow coloured scarf cloud over the city. According to World Meteorological Organisation (WMO), pileus cloud is an accessory cloud of small horizontal extent, in the form of a cap or hood above the top or attached to the upper part of a cumuliform cloud that often penetrates it.
Several pileus may fairly often be observed in superposition, it added.
Though mesmerising, these clouds do not have a very long life, with the main cloud underneath eventually rising up via the process of convection to absorb the rainbow cloud above.

Britney Spears’ ex-husband Jason Alexander has revealed he tried to gatecrash the singer’s wedding to “make sure she was ok” about marrying Sam Asghari.
The 40-year-old added in an interview with DailyMail.com on Friday (23.09.22) he wasn’t at her big day to “cause harm” and claimed he has had several conversations with Britney in the last two years.
He said: “I couldn’t let her get married with the conversations we’ve had over the last two years.
“I wasn’t there to cause harm. I was just there to speak to Britney and make sure she was ok and this is what she wanted.
“I spoke to her the Monday leading up to the wedding and she didn’t mention anything about getting married.
“We talked about the people she hangs out with that calls her her friends. Business associates that profit off of her.
“Most people aren’t aware of what's been happening in the background.”
Jason spoke to the Mail while out hiking less than two miles from 40-year-old Britney’s 12,464-square-foot Italian-style villa in California where she married 38-year-old personal trainer Sam.
He is currently wanted by police after failing to appear in court for allegedly stealing his landlady’s $2,000 diamond tennis bracelet in 2015.
Jason added about Britney’s marriage: “It’s all for show. A Hollywood script.
“I don’t think she looks happy. That whole thing is not real.”
Jason scaled a fence to gain entry to Britney's home on her wedding day and was tackled by the singer’s security guards.
He was last month convicted of trespassing and battery after he filmed himself crashing the ‘Toxic’ singer’s wedding armed with a knife and dressed in a white prison jumpsuit.
Jason said about the scene on June 9: “It could look a little scary if you don’t know the history.”
Childhood friends Britney and Jason married in Las Vegas in 2004, but the marriage lasted only 55 hours before it was annulled.
Jason was initially charged with felony stalking, refusing to leave private property, vandalism and battery for entering Britney’s home on her wedding day.
He was seen in his self-filmed footage screaming as he ran towards Britney’s home: “I’m Jason Alexander. The first husband. I’m here to crash the wedding.”
A judge has ordered he is not allowed to “contact, annoy (and/or) harass” Britney and her new husband and not to come within 100 yards of them for the next three years.

MATCHDAY: Spain hosts Switzerland, Portugal visits Czechs
A look at what´s happening in European soccer on Saturday:
NATIONS LEAGUE:
LEAGUE A
Spain hosts Switzerland in Zaragoza seeking a win to remain in first place of its group before a possible winner-take-all clash with Portugal for a spot in next June´s Nations League final four. Spain can clinch the Group A2 if it beats Switzerland and Portugal loses against the Czech Republic in Prague. If not, Spain and Portugal will decide which team advances as group winner when they meet in Braga on Tuesday. Cristiano Ronaldo and six other Portugal teammates are one booking away from missing the next match against Spain. The Czechs are only one point above the Swiss, with both trying to avoid relegation as the last-place finishers.
LEAGUE B
Erling Haaland's Norway, Scotland and Israel are well placed to earn promotion to the Nations League top tier heading into the latest round of games in League B. Propelled by Haaland's five goals, Norway leads Group B4 by three points from Serbia. Norway visits Slovenia while Serbia hosts Sweden. Israel is top of Group B2 by five points and will be promoted with victory against Albania. Scotland, which visits Ireland, leads Group B1 by two points from Ukraine, which is away to Armenia. There's an added bonus for the teams that win their groups - they should be second seeds in the draw for the group stage of the 2024 European Championship.
