The Nagaland Congress has accused the state government of working against finding a permanent solution to the vexed Naga political issue.
Nagaland Congress president K Therie said: “The truth is that they (government) are against the implementation of solution.”
“When we pressed for the implementation of solution to the Government of India… it replied, ‘Yes, but we also have to respect people’s government’,” Therie said.
He added: “But this people’s government has lied… Nagaland people have accepted and honoured the Agreed Position but the people’s government does not want to implement.”
The Nagaland Congress chief further accused the state government of betraying the people’s trust in regards to Naga political talks.
“…if the state government wants solution, they should agree with the Agreed Points… and urge the Government of India to implement (it),” Therie said.


Its civil rights division was regarded as the U.S. Justice Department's "crown jewel" under President Obama's two attorneys general, both of them African American. Advocates worry that the division faces a dramatically different focus under the Trump administration . . .

Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Sunday directed the Coochbehar and Jalpaiguri district authorities to ensure supply of food and water to train and bus passengers stranded due to blockades put up by people protesting citizenship law, officials said.

There was a spike in mental breakdown across the country because of the COVID-19 lockdown, the executive director of Butabika Hospital, Dr. Juliet Nakku has said. According to Dr Nakku, their admissions at the 550 capacity bed hospital shot up to over 1,000 people during the lockdown.
Dr Nakku was interfacing with the Public Accounts Committee of Parliament chaired by Budadiri West Member of Parliament Nathan Nandala Mafabi on Tuesday. She had led a team of officials from Butabika Hospital to respond to queries in the auditor general’s report for the financial year 2018/2019.
Dr Nakku noted that they were quite a number of people who were reeling under the weight of the stress resulting from the lockdown. She however said the hospital was aware of the majority of the cases. She said the patients had relapsed since they did not have access to their medication.
In addition to increased admissions, Dr Nakku says the patients could not travel back as a result of the suspension of public transport leading to congestion.
She told MPs that the congestion and strain on resources and staff at the hospital was exacerbated by the shutdown of mental health units in regional hospitals. This according to Dr Nakku put a lot of strain on staff who had to work extra shifts especially to ensure that the congestion didn’t increase the risk of Covid-19 infection.
Nandala Mafabi questioned why mental health units in regional hospitals were shut down to make space for COVID-19 isolation units. Dr Nakku noted that some of the patients in the regions were transferred to Butabika while others were placed in smaller spaces within the regional hospitals.
Nandala Mafabi was curious to understand whether mental health is a priority in the country.
Dr Nakku insisted that mental health is important but the step was just an emergency measure since it was hoped that the COVID-19 situation would be temporary.
She revealed that there were many mental health patients in the countryside with reports of increased suicide by patients who should have been given assistance.

Ghana’s economic situation is expected to see marginal improvements in the coming days as the country continues to discuss financial assistance with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
An economist, Dr. Patrick Asuming, has stated that before the end of the year, there are two things that can make a difference in the trajectory of macroeconomic indicators.
The Economist indicated that being able to secure funding from the IMF before the year ends could make a difference in Ghana’s situation because this will improve investor confidence in the economy.
Also, he added that the commitment that will be proven by the government in the 2023 budget will also go a long way to show that it is making efforts to ensure that the economy rebounds.
“There are two news items that we are expecting before the end of the year which could make a difference. One is if the IMF deal goes through and the other is what the finance minister will say during the reading of the 2023 budget. If there is the indication from the budget that the government is showing commitment by way of fiscal policy measures, we might see some improvement.
“If also there is the indication that the IMF deal has been agreed and we will make progress quickly, that might change investor sentiments and thereby improve what will happen after that,” he is quoted by citibusinessnews.com.
As of August 2022, the country’s inflation has stood at 33.9%.
The Ghana cedi has also depreciated by almost 40% against other major trading currencies, ranking as the second worst-performing currency in the world.

JAG students at Senior High hosted a human trafficking awareness walk on Monday, April 11.
Sherah Piercy, JAG (Jobs for America’s Graduates) instructor, said that students wanted to hold an event to spread awareness about human trafficking.
“We had someone from the crisis center come in and talk about what human trafficking is and how many people are affected by it,” she said.
Following the presentation, Piercy said students decided they wanted to do something to raise awareness and that’s when they decided they wanted to do the awareness walk.
She said that many people don’t have a good understanding of what human trafficking is about.
“We want to raise awareness that this is happening in your neighborhoods, in your school, in businesses, and other places in town,” Piercy said.
People need to have more accurate information about human trafficking, she said, adding that the majority of people believe that human trafficking is just kidnapping.
All events that the JAG class hosts are chosen by students, Piercy said and that students work together to prepare for the event.
She said that students have made posters, put together playlists, researched facts, and put together a slideshow all for the Awareness Walk.
Students didn’t receive a grade for their work on this project because she students “believed in the event” and wanted to help to raise awareness.
Something Piercy said she hopes people will learn from the event is that there are ways to recognize the signs of human trafficking and knowing those will help to keep people safe.
There were QR codes around the area during the event that provides more information about human trafficking, Piercy said and that if someone believes that human trafficking may be happening, they shouldn’t be afraid to speak up.
Along with the human trafficking awareness walk, Piercy said that some JAG students also went to Lincoln to seen the Nebraska Legislature in action.

A day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced cancellation of CBSE Plus two exams, the Tamil Nadu Government will take a call on holding its Plus-2 State board exams in the next two days.
Talking to reporters after holding a review meeting with Chief Minister M K Stalin at the State Secretariat here, Shool Education Minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi said the CM will take a decision on holding the exams after eliciting the views of various stakeholders in two days.
The Minister, who had earlier said that the State’s decision will depend on the Centre’s decision on holding CBSE exams, said the government has sought the views from health experts, parents, teachers, students and academicians to decide on the next course of action.
“The Chief Minister has said that all sides should be heard and that a decision will be taken within two days based on this”, he said, adding that they will also consider what other States decide with regard to conducting their state board exams
The Minister appealed to parents, teachers and other stakeholders to write or send e-mails to the department sharing their views.
“Our Chief Minister and the government have always maintained the same position that while we acknowledge that exams are important for a student’s future, their health also should be taken into consideration,” he said.

Federalism is a system of government integrated in the US where the constitution divides powers between the state and the federal government (Elkins, 47). It is important to examine the historical features of federalism as a system to govern the state by using the US as the case study. The constitution is important because it ensures law and order in the country through dividing and sharing powers between the state and the national government. This paper will look at how federalism has evolved over the years in the US through looking at power shifts between the state and the federal government.
Over the years, there has been a struggle and controversies between the federal and state government in terms of which type of government should have more power and control. It is important to note that prior to civil war in the 19th century, states had more power (Elkins 52). This is because the national government that unified all states across the country had not been formed. This means that the state government controlled their irrespective states in that they were deemed as sovereign. Given that state governments were sovereign and had been established before national governments, they could not let the national government control them (Elkins 53). Power conflict between the national government and state government contributed in fueling the American civil war. The national government, which was led by Abraham Lincoln who was a republican, felt that all states across the nation should be emancipated regardless of a state declaring themselves as a slave state. Thus, the state government especially in the Southern US felt that the national government was undermining their sovereignty by declaring the states to secede. The Southern state government wanted to retain the power to decide whether they could keep slaves (Fabbrini 78). Thus, the national government and the most Northern state declared war on slavery by engaging in war with the Southern states. This illustrates that the state government had more power compared to the national government in that the federal government had to declare war to Southern states in order for them to secede.
The great depression changed things around in that the national government retained more power compared to the state governments (Fabbrini 81). The great depression deprived most states financially and economically thereby, the national government had to intervene in order to pull the country out of recession. The national government had to create financial incentives to improve the overall US economy despite the state. For example, the national government ensured that interest rate were low across the nation to ensure that the banks could lend money to the people, which would improve the economy through increasing availability of jobs (Elkins 102). The federal government also initiated a social security program that protected the elderly in the nation. This means that the national government had more power compared to the state government.
Given that the US constitution outlines the federal system where different governments in the country are expected to meet their assigned roles, the federal government has created initiatives such as grant-in-aid (Fabbrini 85). For example, the government gives categorical grants to the state government to improve infrastructure, to fund public school, and public hospitals among other things. Though the state government believes that the grants given are too little to cater for the local community’s needs, they also collect the state taxes. Thus, grant-in-aid is an example of financial incentive that the national government helps the state government to ensure an improvement in the overall economy.
Federalism is advantageous to me because the national government gives grants to the state government, which can be injected in improving the education and healthcare facilities (Robertson 45). Given that federalism requires the national government to offer grants to different states, which improves the state’s economy. Federalism is also crucial because the state governments are essential in a country can serve the public better than the national government, which in most cases is concerned with forming ties with the global community (Robertson 47). Thus, federalism ensures that people’s needs are well taken care off.
Under federalism, the government’s role is too big but is divided between the national, state, and local government. This shows that the government is fairly represented to all people including the grass-root (Robertson 114). Given that we live in a democratic society where the government should cater to its people, I think the federalism is advantageous to the country as a whole. In addition, the constitution ensures stability through outlining different responsibilities to different states of the government.

Ankara, June 5 (IANS) Turkey will address its security concerns in northern Syria with a new cross-border operation, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said.
Erdogan made the announcement in an address to his party members in the capital Ankara, noting the new operation will make up for the 'shortcomings' of the security line on its southern borders, Xinhua news agency reported.
The Turkish military 'destroyed the terror corridor' that Syria's Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) has aimed to build, he said, referring to Turkey's four previous operations in northern Syria along the Turkish border.
The Turkish army launched Operation Euphrates Shield in 2016, Operation Olive Branch in 2018, Operation Peace Spring in 2019, and Operation Spring Shield in 2020 in northern Syria. Turkish authorities say the operations aim to eliminate terror threats and provide a safe zone that will facilitate the return of Syrian refugees to their homes.
On Wednesday, Erdogan said Turkey's planned new military operation in Syria will target the YPG in Tell Rifaat and Manbij areas near the northern city of Aleppo before gradually extending to other parts of the neighboring country.
The PKK, listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, has been rebelling against the Turkish government for more than three decades. Ankara sees the YPG as the Syrian branch of the PKK.

The majority of UK landlords remain oblivious to new laws which will require them to conduct compulsory immigration checks on prospective tenants, according to a new survey.
Research by the website Easyroommate.co.uk revealed that 80 per cent of private landlords knew nothing about the new legislation – which will be rolled out to the West Midlands within a matter of weeks.
And even those who are aware of the “right to rent” checks were unsure of the timetable for the new requirements – which are set to be phased in around the rest of the UK next year.
The sheer number of people who don’t know about the new legislation is likely to concern the Home Office, who hope that introducing the checks will make it easier to identify illegal immigrants.
Perhaps more worrying is that even once they were informed of the changes, nearly a third of landlords surveyed said that they intended to ignore the new rules –risking fines of up to £3000.
Easyroommate.co.uk spokesperson Maya Harruna said: “It’s unfortunate to see that not many landlords are aware of the Right to Rent legislation, especially since it is due to launch shortly.
“Considering the harsh financial penalties, it is essential that homeowners are made fully aware of all aspects and can confirm if the new rules apply to them or not.”
Ministers have already announced that there will be a helpline to advise individuals about the new requirements, while a code-of-practice has also been issued to explain how the checks will operate.


The government has dropped the ball when it comes to funding mental health services, Labour says.
It comes as Youthline struggles to cope with the number of young people seeking help for depression, suicidal thoughts and other mental health issues.
Youthline says it is operating at capacity and cannot take any more calls, meaning about 150 young people a week are missing out on help.
Labour's acting health spokesperson David Clark said young New Zealanders deserved better.
He said the mental health system was creaking at the seams, and the government needed to put more money into it.
Lifeline has also reported an increase in calls from people seeking help.
In a statement, Health Minister Jonathan Coleman said the government had increased funding for mental health and addiction services from $1.1 billion in 2008/09 to $1.4 billion in 2015/16.

Heydar Aliyev is the author of Azerbaijan’s independent energy

According to him, one of the main contributions of Heydar Aliyev

Gas Corridor became possible. Today, each of these projects is an
important source of energy security, the economic success of our

“About 569 million tons of oil have been produced in Azerbaijan,
40.6 million tons of condensate, about 390 billion cubic meters of
gas worth more than $170 billion,” he stressed.
“The Baku-Supsa pipeline transported 99.4 million tons of oil.

Azerbaijan, and 55.4 million tons to other countries,’ he also

Shias across Middle East decry Saudi cleric's execution
(MENAFN- Gulf Times) audi Arabia's execution of a leading cleric from the Shia community has threatened to further intensify a wave of sectarian conflict in the region.
Lebanon's Supreme Islamic Shia Council called the execution of cleric Nimr al-Nimr a "grave mistake", and the Hezbollah group termed it an assassination.
Saudi Arabia executed 47 people including Nimr, whom the government accused of inciting violence against the police. His supporters say he is a peaceful dissident who called for greater rights for the kingdom's Shia minority.
Scores of Shias in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province marched through Nimr's home district of Qatif, and dozens more gathered in nearby Bahrain.
In Iran, state media channels carried non-stop coverage of clerics and secular officials eulogising Nimr.
Shia leaders in Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, and Yemen also warned of reprisals.
Three other Shias were executed alongside Nimr, but most of the convicts were jihadists linked to al Qaeda.
The Saudi government says Nimr ordered his followers to attack the police, and was to blame for a series of shooting and petrol bomb attacks that killed several policemen during anti-government protests in Qatif in 2011-13.
The wave of condemnation could harm Saudi Arabia's efforts to form an Islamic alliance against the jihadist militants of Islamic State. Riyadh announced the coalition last month, but did not include the Shia powers.
Lawmakers in Iraq called on the government to sever ties with neighbouring Saudi Arabia, just one day after the kingdom reopened its embassy in Baghdad for the first time since 1990.
Iran's foreign ministry had said on Monday it was willing to talk to Saudi Arabia after months of escalating tensions, but any chance of a rapprochement appeared to be derailed on Saturday.

Fiji police are soon likely to question the military commander, Commodore Bainimarama, on the abrogation of the 1997 Constitution during the coup.
Assistant Commissioner Kemueli Bulamainaivalu has confirmed to RADIO LEGEND that police have again opened their investigation file on the issue and will seek legal advice from the director of public prosecutions.
He says the file was reactivated after various coup related cases were taken to court.
Mr Bulamainaivalu says police really want to know whether Commodore Bainimarama's action was a crime, which will be determined by the DPP.
The courts were earlier told that the military commander had acted under the doctrine of necessity.
This was when the High Court ruled that the abrogation was illegal and restored the 1997 Constitution.
When the then Qarase interim regime appealed against the restoration, the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court also upheld the 1997 Constitution.

Students and teachers in the rural Indian state of Uttar Pradesh lost their jobs due on Friday as the government implemented the demonetised currency, the Supreme Court has said.
The court had asked the Centre to provide “more information” on how many jobs were lost due to the change.
“The loss of jobs is likely to be a major economic blow to the people of the state of UP,” said senior advocate Ravi Sood.
State education minister M Venkaiah Naidu told a news conference on Friday that he had ordered the closure of schools, colleges, nursing homes, private colleges and public schools in the state.
Naidu said the move had “no impact on employment prospects” of those who had lost their employment.
Demonetisation has forced the closure, suspension and reopening of about 1,600 schools, as well as shuttering of hundreds of private colleges across the state and cancelling of about 10,000 public and government jobs.
More than 200,000 people have been made homeless as a result of the demonethic and cash-for-votes operation, with more than a million people forced to seek shelter from the freezing temperatures at camps in neighbouring states.
India is facing its worst year in years after the death of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has been blamed for the chaos and political upheaval in the country.


Six alleged instigators behind last week’s violent unrest which lasted for almost a week have been arrested, Acting Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni said at a media briefing in Pretoria on Monday.
“This is the latest update which we just got in now, three already appeared in court but were remanded in custody for bail hearings,” she said.
Ntshavheni said other alleged perpetrators of the violence would likely appear in court during this week.
“Charges against them include incitement to commit public violence and the arrests that we are referring to are not related to the arrests in regards to the looting,” She said, adding that the police were working with community members to ensure those responsible for looting were nabbed.
Last week, Police Minister Bheki Cele said they were following 12 people who instigated the violence.
Ntshavheni said that the situation in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng has stabilised, with no new incidents of looting reported lately.
She said last week’s violence was planned, orchestrated and instigated. The fact blood sachets at the blood banks were stolen showed the “severity” and the “inhumane nature” of the instigators of the riots which was to undermine the authority of the state.
Ntshavheni said warning reports about the riots which were received were acted upon on time.
“Lessons that have to be learnt have been learnt and the gaps have been picked up and corrective measures have been taken to avoid a lapse in the situation,” she added.

(MENAFN- IANS) Jaipur, Sep 30 (IANS) A new report has revealed that there were 444 incidents of cow slaughter in Rajasthan between October 2020 and August 2023.
Reference sources of all the incidents along with pictures and news cuttings were also attached in the report released on Friday, the second day of the Shekhawati Sahitya Sangam in Jaipur.
It was made under the direction of Deep Kumar, head of archives of Vishwa Samvad Kendra (VSK).
Deep Kumar said that VSK has tried to bring out the fact that today the cattle smugglers are targeting destitute cows as well as those being reared in domestic and cow sheds.
Therefore, the government should make policies and strategies and take strict steps to stop such incidents, he said
"Cow smuggling is completely illegal and unconstitutional. Such incidents not only harm the faith and employment of the common people but also give options to organised criminal groups to create a chaotic situation by questioning the law and security system.
"The money obtained from cow smuggling is spent only on anti-social activities. Therefore, everyone should get organized to stop cow smuggling," Deep Kumar said.

The state of California has been preparing to roll out its new kindergarten standards for the first time in more than a decade, and a new survey shows that some parents are worried about what they’ll find.
The survey by the California Department of Education (CED) found that more than 70% of parents in the state say they’re concerned about the new kindergarten standard.
Parents also said that the new standard is a step backward for their child, which is a big concern to many parents.
“I’m not going to sit here and say it’s perfect,” said a parent of a kindergartener.
“But it’s better than what we had before.
And I think parents need to know it’s a good thing.”
The survey also found that a majority of parents are concerned about their child’s grades in kindergarten.
“My daughter is struggling academically in kindergarten,” said another parent.
“I can’t even imagine what it would be like if her grade wasn’t good enough.
It’s something that should concern parents, but parents don’t want to know about it.”
A majority of the parents surveyed said that they were concerned about how they would prepare their children for kindergarten.
Of the parents who said they would be preparing their children to pass their state’s new kindergarten, 71% said that “they would need to prepare their child for kindergarten on a lower level than they do now, as well as prepare them for kindergarten in the special education environment.”
The CED survey was conducted between January and April this year, and it found that 73% of respondents said that children in kindergarten need to be taught better, and 43% said they need to work harder.
Of those who said that their children would need more help with math, the survey found that almost a quarter of respondents (23%) said that math would be harder in kindergarten, compared to 18% of those who answered that they would need less help with it.
Another report, published by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), found that parents were also worried about how their children are learning in kindergarten at the moment.
It found that 60% of the respondents were worried about their children’s grades.
Another survey by AP found that the most common concerns parents had about their kindergartners were:Difficulty in communicating with their child in the classroom”Too many distractions”They said that teachers need to make sure that children don’t have a lot of distractions during class, and that they need better strategies to deal with them.
The AAP has called for a kindergarten standards overhaul, and they said that parents should know that their child will be getting a good education in the new curriculum.
“Parents should be very concerned about what their children will be learning in this new curriculum,” said AAP President and CEO Ann McKee.
“Kindergarten teachers need the tools and the guidance to ensure that children are getting a quality education, and not just a standardized one.
Parents also need to realize that these standards are not going into kindergarten classrooms.
They are going into classrooms and classrooms that are currently being used by students who are learning to learn,” McKee added.

People living with disabilities are often underestimated and barriers in their surroundings or the attitudes and actions of others can reduce the opportunities they have to fully participate in the community.
To support people to reduce those barriers so they can live the life they want to, we work under the social model of disability.
Under the social model of disability, people are disabled by barriers in their environment or the attitudes of people around them and in the community.
We support people to reduce those barriers and encourage people with a disability, their family and the wider community to challenge their belief systems about disability and to set higher expectations of what they can achieve.
Some of the ways we do this include:
- Putting the person at the centre of their therapy, focusing on what they can do, building on their strengths and interests
- Getting to know them and understanding what is important to them so we can bring their plan to life with achievable steps
- Delivering therapy where they spend their time, in their everyday life, and using their daily routine to practice their new skills
- Providing support to other significant people in their life they can support them to achieve their goals
- Working as a team with other therapists so that the person receives the right support at the right time to fully participate in the community
We believe that every person has the right to make choices about their life and to do the things they want to do fully take part in their community.
The social model of disability empowers people to live meaningful and fulfilling lives. We have seen great outcomes for people when they realise their own potential and work towards specific, measurable goals.

He said, “While India is steadily combating the global epidemic, on the other hand, we are also focusing on the health of the economy, worrying about the health of the people.”

Modi also appealed to the global community to invest in India, elaborating on the steps taken by the government to revive the economy during the Corona transition period.

Very few countries provide the opportunities that India is providing today. “The Prime Minister said that India is ready to do whatever it can for the good and prosperity of India and the world.” He said that “self-sufficient India” does not mean that the doors to the world were closed.

Sources told WION that a number of Pakistani MPs feel the civilian government needs to push the military to share more information on Jadhav.? Photograph:( Others )
The Pakistani civilian government seems to have little information on Kulbhushan Jadhav ||It is the Pakistani Army which is in the know, and it is not sharing ||The lack of info, sources said, led to Pakistan's legal team at the ICJ being ill-prepared
The Pakistani civilian government seems to have little information on Kulbhushan Jadhav -- it is the Pakistani military which is in the know -- because of which its legal team at the International Court of Justice was ill-prepared, sources have told WION.
Sources in the Pakistani administration told WION that a number of Pakistani MPs were left unsatisfied after a meeting of the parliamentary committee on national security on Tuesday, and that they left the meeting with a number of unanswered questions.
The gist of what the sources said was -- the Pakistani civilian government has little information on Jadhav.
That its legal team at the ICJ was therefore ill-prepared, leading to the court ordering Pakistan to not execute Jadhav until it has decided whether it will hear the case.
The sources told WION that the MPs feel the civilian government needs to push the military to share more information on Jadhav.
And that they feel Pakistan needs to expand its legal team -- while retaining Khawar Qureshi, who has so far led the team -- fighting the case at the ICJ.
The sources said the names of potential new lawyers were discussed at the meeting.
The sources also said the committee will meet again on May 30.
And that it is meeting so soon again because of the unanswered questions left over from Tuesday's meeting.
Pakistan accuses Jadhav, a former Indian Navy officer, of spying in Balochistan. A Pakistani military court sentenced him to death in April.
India has taken Pakistan to the ICJ, accusing Pakistan of not allowing India consular access to Jadhav. That, India says, violates a treaty guaranteeing diplomatic assistance to foreigners accused of crimes.

New Delhi: BJP minister in the Meghalaya government Sanbor Shullai on Frinday asked people to eat more beef than chicken, mutton and fish. He said everybody was free to eat whatever they want in a democratic country.
“I encourage the people to eat more beef than chicken, mutton or fish. By encouraging people to eat more beef, the perception that BJP will impose a ban on cow slaughter will be dispelled,” he told reporters on Friday.
Mr Shullai, who is the Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Minister, added that he would speak to Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma to ensure that cattle transportation to Meghalaya was not affected by the new cow legislation in the neighbouring state.
Asked about the dispute and Mr Vanlalvena’s comment, he said that Meghalaya should use its police force to protect the inter-state borders against “enemies”.
“This spirit should be with us – the public and the police. If the people of Assam keep on harassing our people in the border area, the time has come not only to talk and take tea… we have to react, we have to act at the spot only,” Mr Shullai said.
