Punjab CM appoints Prashant Kishor as principal advisor
Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Monday said poll strategist Prashant Kishor has joined him as his principal advisor. “Happy to share that @PrashantKishor has joined me as my Principal Advisor.

Investigative report depicts frustration, discrimination in U.S. vaccination campaign
Video Player Close WASHINGTON, March 2 (Xinhua) -- One day before U.S. President Joe Biden's announcement on Tuesday that enough coronavirus vaccines will be delivered for all adults by the end of May, an investigative report has brought to the fore the immense barriers some Americans face in securing a shot. Nonprofit newsroom ProPublica released a report on Monday highlighting the inequity of America's vaccination program, featuring stories of ordinary Americans of different backgrounds confronting numerous obstacles simply for trying to secure a jab. "ProPublica has found that, whether intentionally or not, some vaccine programs have been designed with inherent barriers that disadvantage many people who are most at risk of dying from the disease, exacerbating inequities in access to health care," the report said. Disabilities is the first mentioned barrier. The report depicts the story of Kristine Mathason, who spent over a month trying to get her disabled 69-year-old ... » Learn More about Investigative report depicts frustration, discrimination in U.S. vaccination campaign
EU divided over vaccine alliance
Bloc's joint jab procurement program now under criticism for being too slow Concern over the European Union's slow-moving COVID-19 vaccination strategy has sparked division on how to tackle the pandemic. It has emerged that a planned "vaccine alliance" between Austria, Denmark and Israel threatens to undermine the European Commission's coordinated purchasing effort, with plans said to already be at an "advanced stage" between the three nations. A report in the Financial Times said Austria's Chancellor Sebastian Kurz and Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen will this week travel to Israel, which is not in the EU, to meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for discussions on a new "joint approach". Netanyahu said in public remarks on Monday that the leaders will also talk about the idea of "an international corporation for manufacturing vaccines", Reuters reported. Kurz told German newspaper Bild that the European Medicines Agency, known as the EMA, is "too slow" to ... » Learn More about EU divided over vaccine alliance
Reviving the Iran deal: On Biden attempt to revive JCPOA
U.S. President Joe Biden’s attempts to revive the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), better known as the Iran nuclear deal , have not seen any breakthrough with both sides waiting for the other to blink. The Biden administration says it would return to the deal if Iran starts complying with its terms. Tehran, on the other side, asks the U.S., which unilaterally quit the deal under the Donald Trump administration in May 2018, to return to the agreement first and lift sanctions on Iran. The EU’s efforts to organise direct U.S.-Iran talks were also unsuccessful as Tehran reportedly rejected the offer. Iran has also accelerated its nuclear programme. This game of chicken continues as the clock is ticking. Iran will elect a new President in June. Hassan Rouhani, who bet his presidency on the deal — only to be repudiated by Mr. Trump — cannot stand in a third consecutive election. There is no guarantee that a moderate like Mr. Rouhani would be elected this time. And it is not a ... » Learn More about Reviving the Iran deal: On Biden attempt to revive JCPOA
Allow us to resume mining in Aravalli Hills: Haryana
The Haryana government has appealed to the Supreme Court to permit it to resume mining in the Aravalli Hills on the grounds that the pandemic had grounded the State’s economy to a halt. The Supreme Court is slated to hear the petition on Thursday. Mining in the region has been banned since 2002 under the Supreme Court orders, unless expressly permitted by the Union Environment Ministry. However, mining continued illegally. A 2018 report by a Supreme Court-appointed Central Empowered Committee (CEC) said 25% of the Aravalli range has been lost due to illegal mining in Rajasthan since 1967-68. Vikrant Tongad, environmentalist and with the Social Action for Forest Environment, told The Hindu that the Haryana government had proposed to allow mining activities in 600 hectares. Following the move, Mr. Tongad filed his own petition on Monday requesting the court to allow him to “intervene” in the ongoing writ petition. The Aravalli hills spanning Gujarat, Rajasthan, Haryana and ... » Learn More about Allow us to resume mining in Aravalli Hills: Haryana

Zhou Bajun says special administrative region's top officials must design city's development strategy with that of the country as a whole Xia Baolong, vice-chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and head of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council, made a keynote speech at a high-level symposium on Hong Kong affairs on February 22.
