(MENAFN) Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni sent the internet into a frenzy when Meloni shared a selfie with Modi, accompanied by the hashtag '#Melodi.' The social media buzz follows weeks of online speculation about the duo's supposed chemistry, with internet users playfully pairing them as a romantic couple. The meeting occurred on the sidelines of the COP28 Summit in Dubai, where the leaders engaged in discussions about joint efforts between India and Italy for a prosperous and sustainable future.
Modi took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his trust in the collaborative endeavors of India and Italy, sharing an image of the leaders deeply engrossed in conversation. Shortly after, Meloni posted the selfie with the caption "Good friends at COP28" and the hashtag '#Melodi,' a playful blend of their names. Modi responded, stating, "Meeting friends is always a delight."
The selfie post quickly gained immense popularity, amassing over 250,000 likes on X and an even more substantial response on Instagram, with over 650,000 likes as of Saturday afternoon. This social media sensation echoes a previous instance in September when Modi and Meloni's apparent rapport generated a flood of memes during the G20 Summit in New Delhi.
The leaders discussed various sectors, including trade, commerce, defense, and emerging technologies during their meetings, with Modi pledging continued collaboration between India and Italy for global prosperity. The recent '#Melodi' selfie has added fuel to the internet speculation, with users speculating about whether the duo is aware of the playful online gossip surrounding their friendship.
This article delves into the evolving camaraderie between Modi and Meloni, exploring the social media reactions, memes, and the broader implications of their friendship on diplomatic relations between India and Italy. As the 'Melodi' trend continues to captivate online audiences, it highlights the unique intersection of diplomacy and internet culture, where political leaders become unexpected social media sensations.

(MENAFN- UkrinForm) In cooperation with Sumy agricultural machinery manufacturers, Ukraine's Efarm has created another mine clearance vehicle, which is on a par with the Western-made analogs.
The relevant statement was made by the Ukrainian Economy Ministry , an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
According to Ukrainian Economy Deputy Minister Ihor Bezkaravainyi, the specifications of the new mine clearance vehicle are not inferior to the best Western-made analogs. The Ukrainian-manufactured vehicle has the T-156 tractor chassis and can clear 5,000 square meters of land per hour. It is practically the same volume as can be cleared with the Croatian-made DOK-ING MV-10 mine clearance system.
Bezkaravainyi mentioned that the Ukrainian development had also demonstrated a very high density of land treatment. The distance between the strips processed by the vehicle is just 2 centimeters.
“The certification of the vehicle and the start of mass production are waiting ahead. The vehicle was designed by Efarm in cooperation with the manufacturers. Thus, there is no need to additionally look for production and, if necessary, maintenance facilities. Considering the operators' need for mine clearance systems, the vehicle will be in demand,” Bezkaravainyi added.
A reminder that, in 2023, the explosives expert units of the Ukrainian State Emergency Service, the State Transport Special Service, and non-governmental operators inspected 275,000 hectares of agricultural lands. Farm operations resumed within more than 200,000 hectares.

Former Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale has made no secret of his passion for golf and his game has received a ringing endorsement from one of the world's best ahead of his debut at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in California next month.
The 33-year-old Bale ended his glittering soccer career this month leading to speculation that the Welshman might try to become a professional golfer.
Spaniard Jon Rahm got a close up view of Bale's golf game when partnering him at the Pro-Am ahead of this week's Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines and was clearly impressed.
'I told Gareth you can't be so good at professional football and golf at the same time, that doesn't seem fair,' Rahm, the 2021 US Open champion said. 'You can't be dedicated to one thing and have this much talent for golf.'
Bale's love of golf often led to criticism while he was in Madrid, especially after once posing in front of a banner which read: 'Wales. Golf. Madrid. In that order'.
World number three Rahm said there was not much advice he could offer Bale on his golf swing.
'He didn't ask for anything, nor should he be asking, he's already good enough,' the 28-year-old said. 'He has no business being that good when he's a professional football player.'

(MENAFN- IANS) New Delhi, March 2 (IANS) In February, FPIs turned buyers in equity for Rs 1539 crores. This is despite the U.S. bond yields ruling high with the 10-year yield at around 4.25 per cent, says V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services.
FPIs may again turn sellers in some of the coming days but are unlikely to sell aggressively because their selling is not having any impact on the market which is setting new record highs.
FPIs will have to buy the same shares, which they are selling now at higher prices when the situation turns favourable for FPI buying.
Therefore, even if they sell in the coming days, that will be subdued, he said.
DIIs, HNIs and retail investors are calling the shots now, not FPIs. FPIs were big sellers in financials and FMCG in February, he said.
FPIs are steadily increasing their buying in debt. They have bought debt to the tune of Rs 22419 crores in February on top of the Rs 19836 crores they bought in January. This trend of steady debt investment is likely to continue, he said.

San Francisco, Feb 1 (IANS) OpenAI has launched a new tool that will distinguish between human-written and artificial intelligence (AI)-generated text.
'AI Text Classifier' is a 'fine-tuned GPT model that predicts how likely it is that a piece of text was generated by AI from a variety of sources, such as ChatGPT,' the company said on the new tool's page.
'The model is trained on human-written text from a variety of sources, which may not be representative of all kinds of human-written text.'
Each document will be labelled as -- very unlikely, unlikely, unclear if it is, possibly or likely AI-generated.
However, there are a few limitations to the new tool.
It requires a minimum of 1,000 characters, which is approximately 150 - 250 words and its result is not always accurate.
The classifier might get things wrong on text written by children and on text not in English, as it was mainly trained on English content written by adults.
Currently, the classifier is available via open access to a web interface.
'We use text generated from 34 models from five different organisations that deploy language models, including OpenAI,' the company said.

(MENAFN- Asia Times) In April 2023, Asia Times released a study of US trade dependencies under the title,“The Great Re-Shoring Charade.” We found that the United States imported less from China only because it imported more from countries dependent on Chinese semi-finished goods, components and capital goods.
In effect, America's“friend-shoring” partners assembled finished goods out of imported Chinese components and shipped them on to the United States.

Despite the Trump tariffs and the Biden Administration's commitment to“re-shoring,” China's dominance of global supply chains in manufacturing has grown, not shrunk, during the past several years.
That's because capital investment in US manufacturing continues to shrink.

(MENAFN) The Palestinian Ambassador to the UK, Husam Zomlot, stated that the oppression by Israel in his country has been ongoing for 106 years, challenging the notion that it started only on October 7.
Addressing a Turkish news agency during the seventh TRT World Forum in Istanbul on Saturday, Zomlot remarked: "It all started when Britain promised our lands to others without consulting us and turned us, the Palestinian nation, into non-Jewish minorities."
"The quest for freedom and justice by the Palestinian people should now be acknowledged. We need to address issues of human rights, national rights, as well as international consensus and law," Zomlot highlighted.
"What Israel understands is military solutions, violence, intimidating civilians, and exerting pressure on civilian communities," as stated by Zomlot.
He highlighted that Israel's capacity to inflict such cruelty is made possible by dehumanizing Palestinians.
"You must have heard. Israeli ministers called us 'human-like animals.' Since you cannot kill ordinary people in this way, you have to dehumanize them," he stated.
Zomlot, known for his outspoken statements and frequent appearances on various Western television channels, strongly criticized Israel's attempts to portray itself as a victim.
In response to a cross-border attack by Hamas in October, Israel initiated relentless air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip.
According to health authorities in the Palestinian enclave, these attacks have resulted in the death of at least 17,700 Palestinians and the injury of more than 48,780 others.

(MENAFN- The Peninsula) Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan described efforts to promote birth control as "treason", saying contraception risked causing a whole generation to "dry up", reports said yesterday.
Erdogan made the comments, directly addressing the bride and groom at the Istanbul wedding ceremony of the son of businessman Mustafa Kefeli, who is one of his close allies.
He told the newly-weds that using birth control was a betrayal of Turkey's ambition to make itself a flourishing nation with an expanding young population.
"One or two children is not enough. To make our nation stronger, we need a more dynamic and younger population. We need this to take Turkey above the level of modern civilisations," Erdogan said. "In this country, they (opponents) have been engaged in the treason of birth control for years and sought to dry up our generation," Erdogan said. "Lineage is very important both economically and spiritually. I have faith in you," he said in comments reported by the Dogan news agency, which also posted a video of his speech.
"Marriage is a long journey. There are good days and bad days. Good days become more frequent as we share them and bad days finally bring happiness if we are patient," said Erdogan. He added: "One (child) means loneliness, two means rivalry, three means balance and four means abundance. And God takes care of the rest," he added.

Hawaiian Authorities Investigate 33 Swimmers for Harassing Pod of Dolphins in Hnaunau Bay
(MENAFN) Hawaii's Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement has reported that 33 individuals are suspected of pursuing, corralling, and harassing a group of dolphins in Hnaunau Bay. These swimmers have been accused of violating harassment proceedings, although their identities have not been released.
The Hawaiian authorities were able to capture footage of the harassment using a drone and have photographic evidence to support their case. Upon the swimmers' emergence from the ocean, the authorities were waiting for them on land.
The investigation into this incident is ongoing and is being conducted by the NOAA Office of Law Enforcement and Hawaii's Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement. This type of harassment is illegal and has serious consequences for both the animals and the perpetrators.
Unfortunately, this is not an isolated incident. Earlier this month, officials revealed that they were investigating a man who goes by the name "Dolphin Dave" for disturbing a humpback whale and a group of dolphins while snorkeling. This type of behavior has the potential to disrupt entire ecosystems and cause irreparable harm to marine life. It is crucial that individuals respect the natural habitats of these creatures and take steps to protect them.

(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) TOKYO, Nov 21 (KUNA) -- North Korea launched what it claims to be a military spy satellite southward Tuesday, Yonhap News Agency reported, citing Seoul's military.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said it detected the launch from the Tongchang-ri area on the North's northwest coast at around 10:43 pm (1343 GMT) and the satellite flew over waters west of the border island of Baengyeong.
The JCS gave no further details, including whether the three-stage rocket carrying the satellite separated successfully and whether the satellite was put into orbit.
According to Japan's public broadcaster NHK, it likely flew toward the Pacific Ocean, and the Japanese government issued an evacuation alert for residents in Okinawa Prefecture, southern Japan, of which was later lifted.
Tuesday's launch came hours before the beginning of a 10-day launch window that the North had given Japan earlier as a safety warning, saying it would fire a satellite-carrying space rocket sometime between Wednesday and Nov. 30.
The Japan Coast Guard said that North Korea has designated three maritime areas in the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea and the east of Luzon Island in the Philippines as danger zones in which projectile may fall. All the three areas are outside Japan's exclusive economic zone.
The latest launch came after the North's second attempt to put a satellite into orbit failed due to an engine problem in August. The first attempt failed in May due to a failure in the second stage rocket.
Seoul has expressed concerns over Pyongyang's preparations for a spy satellite launch with technological assistance from Russia following a rare summit between North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and Russian President Vladimir Putin in September.
A military spy satellite is among the high-tech weapons that the North has vowed to develop to enhance its surveillance capability, which also include solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missiles and a nuclear-powered submarine. (end)

Baku, Azerbaijan, Feb.15
By Leman Zeynalova – Trend:
Romania has expressed interest in participation in the Southern Gas Corridor project, European Commission Vice-President for Energy Union Maros Sefcovic said.
Sefcovic made the remarks at a press conference in Baku Feb. 15 following the Fourth Ministerial Meeting of the Southern Gas Corridor Advisory Council.
He said 2018 will be a special period in implementation of the Southern Gas Corridor project.
Sefcovic added that Azerbaijani gas will reach Europe in 2020.
SGC is a strategic project that will strengthen Europe's energy security, and therefore the EU is supporting the project from the very beginning, Sefcovic said.
He added that the key components of the Southern Gas Corridor were outlined as the projects of the common interest for Europe. Since the very beginning of implementation of the energy strategy, the EU has closely worked with the countries of Southeast Europe and supported the creation of interconnectors to connect those countries to the Southern Gas Corridor.
Sefcovic said from this point of view, the expression of interest by such countries as Bulgaria and Romania to join the project is of great importance.
He said Europe will be stronger than ever thanks to implementation of the project.
The Southern Gas Corridor is one of the priority projects for the EU and provides for the transportation of 10 billion cubic meters of Azerbaijani gas from the Caspian region through Georgia and Turkey to Europe.
At an initial stage, the gas to be produced as part of the Stage 2 of development of Azerbaijan's Shah Deniz field is considered as the main source for the Southern Gas Corridor projects. Other sources can also connect to this project at a later stage.
As part of the Shah Deniz Stage 2, the gas will be exported to Turkey and European markets by expanding the South Caucasus Pipeline and the construction of Trans Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline (TANAP) and Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP).

Over four million palm trees have been detected in the UAE's Al Ain region using artificial intelligence.
Aerial images of these trees have been captured by the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC) after engineers used AI technology with an accuracy rate of 96 per cent.
In a tweet posted on Thursday, the space centre said the project is part of a strategic collaboration with Al Ain Municipality, which provided the aerial images.
Last year, in line with the UAE's efforts to increase agricultural productivity, MBRSC developed AI technology that helped detect 45,000 palm trees in various regions of Al Ain.
Remote sensing technology using AI helps to provide potential solutions in mapping large coverage areas, spatial and spectral information.
MBRSC had then developed the AI technology to analyse the 10 centimetre-per-pixel resolution images provided by Al Ain Municipality by utilising in-house technology and experts from the Centre's Application Development & Analysis Section. The technology also helped analyse the health of palm trees in various regions of Al Ain.
Earlier, during the 2021 Dubai Airshow, startups were encouraged, in partnership with MBRSC and Amazon Web Services (AWS), to participate in a space-tech pitch challenge to develop a product, solution or application that supported the UAE's environmental initiatives.

- UAE: Sadhguru to partner with Ministry of Climate Change and Environment to 'Save Soil'
Palm trees are considered a symbolic agricultural heritage in the UAE, as the country is one of the top 10 producers of dates.

(MENAFN- UkrinForm) The National Bank expects the economy to grow by 0.3% this year, by 4.1% in 2024, and by 6.4% in 2025.
That's according to NBU Governor Andriy Pishnyi, who spoke at a briefing on Thursday, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
'The National Bank expects a slight increase in real GDP in 2023 by 0.3%,' Pyshnyi said.
He explained that the worsening of the outlook, compared to the October estimates, is due primarily to the consequences of the energy terror, as well as a revision of the main assumption regarding the duration of the security risks. Read also: inflation to slow down to 18.7% in 2023 - nbu outlook
According to the NBU governor, the reduction of security risks together with the resumption of full operation of ports, larger harvests, gradual restoration of production capacities, adjustment of logistics, and revival of domestic demand, including thanks to the return of forced migrants, will contribute to the economy growth in 2024-2025.
'Thanks to all these factors, the real GDP of Ukraine will grow by 4.1% in 2024 and further accelerate to 6.4% in 2025,' the head of the NBU said.
He recalled that as a result of the energy terror by Russia, the decline of Ukraine's GDP deepened in the 4th quarter of 2022 (up to 35% in annual terms).
As Ukrinform reported, the National Bank earlier predicted that in 2023-2024 the economy would recover gradually – at a rate of 4-5%.

Chennai, July 4 (IANS) The Madras High Court on Monday refused to stall the AIADMK General Council meeting slated for July 11.
A bench of Justices M. Duraisamy and Sunder Mohan made it clear that the order passed by them at 4.40 a.m. on June 2 was only with respect to the meeting held on that day, and directed the advocate of AIADMK State Council member, M. Shanmugham, to approach the single bench of the court, if necessary.
It also provided time till Thursday for senior counsel Vijay Narayanan, representing party leader and former Chief Minister K. Palaniswami, to file counter-affidavits to new applications. The counters are to be filed to a series of three applications taken out by Shanmugham in his original appeal pending before the court.
One of the three applications was to stall the July 11 General Council meeting of the party, the second was to stay the appointment of A. Tamilmagan Hussain as the Presidium Chairman, and the third was to punish the top leadership of the party for having allegedly defied the June 23 order of the division bench.
Senior counsel P.H. Aravind Pandian, representing senior party leader and former Chief Minister, O. Panneerselvam, told the court that the appointment of Hussain as Presidium Chairman amounted to contempt. He also argued that the announcement of the next General Council meeting by the Presidium Chairman was in defiance of the court order.
Pandian also contended that the division bench had, on June 23, made it clear that no decision should be taken on any issue but for the 23 draft resolutions approved by Panneerselvam.
However, the party leaders went ahead to appoint Hussain, whose name was proposed by Palaniswami, as the Presidium Chairman.
The bench adjourned the hearing to Thursday as the Supreme Court was also slated to hear an appeal filed by the Palaniswami faction against the division bench's June 23 order.

The United States continues its way towards withdrawing from major international agreements and initiatives.
Since President Donald Trump took his office, the country has withdrawn fromthe Paris Climate Agreement,the Trans-Pacific Partnership and UNESCO.
Its next target becamean international declaration aimed at improving global migration and refugee issues.
U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson sent an official statement to the UN which statedthat Washington will no longer participate in the Global Compact on Migration asit doesn't correspond to the immigration policy pursued by the country.
'Although we will continue to work in a number of directions in the UN, in this case, we simply cannot faithfully support a process that could undermine the U.S. sovereign right to apply our immigration laws and ensure the security of our borders, the statement said.
According to Tillerson, the U.S. supports international cooperation on migration issues, but sovereign states bear the main responsibility for ensuring that migration is safe and legal.
U.S. Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley said the declaration's 'approach is simply not compatible with U.S. sovereignty.
'No country has done more than the United States, and our generosity will continue. But our decisions on immigration policies must always be made by Americans and Americans alone. We will decide how best to control our borders and who will be allowed to enter our country, Haley said in a statement.
The UN General Assembly expressed disappointment over the U.S. latest decision.
The U.S. has been a part of theNew York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants since it was unanimously adopted by approved by 193 members of the UN General Assembly in 2016.
The declaration reached last year called for protecting the rights of refugees and migrants and helping them resettle and providing access to education and work.
The decision to withdraw from the declaration is consistent with the efforts of U.S. President Donald Trump's administration to limit immigration and refugee settlement.
In January, Trump signed an executive order that temporarily banned citizens from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen from entering the U.S. European leaders, the United Nations and international groups have condemnedTrump's order. TheUN refugee agencyand theInternational Organization for Migrationcalled on the Trump administration to continue offering asylum to people fleeing war and persecution, saying its resettlement programme was vital.
In October, the ban ended, althouh the White House announced that the U.S. would temporarily delay processing for refugees from eleven ‘high-risk' countries.

(MENAFN- Morocco World News) By Sanae Elouazi
Rabat – Obtaining a in Morocco will no longer be an easy task, announced the Secretary of State for Equipment and Transport, Najib Boulif, following the the Governing Council meeting on December 28.
Boulif presented a series of new measures to tighten the conditions for obtaining driving licenses, as part of a strategy to reduce the balance sheet of road accidents, to fight against illegal licenses and corruption.
From now on, it will be necessary to have 34 points out of 40 to pass the theoretical test for the license B whereas previously, it was enough to have 30 points out of 40.
The examination for the category C and D passes to 40 points out of 46 instead of 36 points out of 46.
Moreover, the candidates can no longer expect to obtain their driving licence in a fortnight. The duration will be set on at least 45 days from the beginning of the training to the first test applied.
The Ministry has also decided to fix the number of candidates for the tests applied to 10 people per car and per instructor for each month for category B, to prevent the instructors from submitting a large number of candidates to the examination centers.
Boulif also announced that the 600 exam questions of the theoretical test would be reviewed and changed, given that the questions are initially well known by the candidates.
Changes will also affect the training fees. Thus the prices for category B will be fixed at MAD 37 per hour for the theoretical test and MAD 75.5 for the applied training.
The Secretary of State for Transport also lambasted the 'fraudulent practices' of some driving schools and denounced the 'unhealthy climate' in which the driving tests took place.
It is no secret that the conditions for examining the license are tainted by serious irregularities, particularly corruption and clientelism that allow hundreds of candidates to obtain the document without passing the driver's license exam.

Also, last month, a bridge in Malyn was opened, for the reconstruction of which Estonian partners allocated EUR 1 million," Kubrakov said. Read also:

In addition, Deputy Minister Serhiy Derkach expressed hope that Estonia would also help Ukraine with the modernization and digitalization of the border crossing system, as the country has successful experience in implementing a similar system in its own country.

(MENAFN) Telangana, the South Indian state, is witnessing a pivotal three-way electoral battle as voters cast their ballots in the run-up to the federal elections in 2024. The competition features the regional Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), led by incumbent Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and the main opposition party Congress. With 32.6 million eligible voters and 2,290 candidates vying for seats in the 119-member legislative assembly, the outcome holds significant implications for the political landscape of the state and the broader national scenario.
Political heavyweights, including K Chandrashekar Rao, KT Rama Rao, A Revanth Reddy, Bandi Sanjay Kumar, D Arvind, and Soyam Bapurao, are among the candidates in this high-stakes election. The BRS, in power since the formation of Telangana in 2014, has promised welfare measures such as a monthly payout for impoverished women, gas cylinders for families below the poverty line, and enhanced health insurance plans.
On the other hand, the BJP, in its manifesto, pledges a complete ban on cow slaughter in Telangana, mirroring stringent regulations in several northern states. The saffron party also vows to revoke the existing quota reserving 4% of education and government jobs for Muslims, instead advocating for an increase in quotas for marginalized communities, including the Backward Class, Scheduled Castes (SC), and Scheduled Tribes (ST). These promises reflect the evolving political dynamics in Telangana and set the stage for a contest that goes beyond regional interests, shaping the narrative for the impending 2024 general elections in India.
