    Duterte Detained: Facing ICC Charges for Drug War Actions

    Former President Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines was taken into custody when he landed at Manila airport. This happened because the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued a warrant for his arrest. Duterte is being accused of crimes against humanity because of his “war on drugs” policy during his time as president. This policy, which started in 2016, is linked to many cases where unarmed people suspected of using drugs were killed by both police and vigilantes. The ICC began looking into these accusations in 2019.

    Duterte spoke at a rally in Hong Kong, expressing that he would cooperate if the ICC wanted to arrest him. He defended his actions, saying he did them for the good of the people. He asked, “If I did them for my own sake or my family, why would I do it? I did it for you, your children, and our country.” He insisted, “What’s my crime? I worked hard for peace and a better life for all Filipinos.”

    Elon Musk Blames Ukraine for X Outage Amid Darkstorm Hacking Claims

    On Monday, Elon Musk, who owns the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), said that Ukrainian forces might be behind a major cyberattack that caused the site to go down. A hacking group called Darkstorm claimed they were responsible for taking X offline. In a chat with Fox News, Musk explained, “We don’t know exactly what happened, but there was a huge cyberattack on X coming from IP addresses in Ukraine.”

    In a post on X, Musk said, “There is a big cyberattack against X. We get attacked every day, but this one took a lot of resources. It looks like a large team or a nation is involved.”

    Many people reported problems using X, including around 2,000 users in India, 18,000 in the US, and 10,000 in the UK. Darkstorm, which supports Palestine and often targets countries that back Israel, said they were behind the attack.

    As tensions grew between the US and Ukraine, Musk shared worries about Ukrainian groups that might be working with USAID, and even mentioned that some officials from the Trump administration were being targeted. However, Musk assured that his Starlink communications service would keep running in Ukraine no matter what. “To be clear, even if I disagree with Ukraine’s policies, Starlink will never shut down,” Musk stated.

  • Syngene Acquires U.S. Facility, Boosting Biologics Capacity

    Syngene Acquires U.S. Facility, Boosting Biologics Capacity

    Syngene International is making headlines as it has just bought a new biologics facility in the United States from Emergent Manufacturing for $36.5 million. This is an important step for Syngene because this new site will help them expand their bioreactor capacity to 50,000 liters. This means they can do more work on developing and manufacturing large molecules, which are important for medicine.

    The acquisition will also help Syngene keep delivering supplies smoothly from their four facilities in India and North America. They offer many services like cell line development and process optimization.

    Emergent, which had to close this facility last year to save costs, still has rights to use the facility alongside Syngene. Although the facility had some quality issues during the pandemic, it has been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is now fully compliant with rules.

    This deal is expected to be finalized by March 2025, and it will double Syngene’s bioreactor capacity from 20,000 liters, boosting their capabilities in large molecule work. However, Syngene’s CFO, Deepak Jain, mentioned that it might slightly lower profit margins in the short term because of the expenses linked to the new facility.

    Share prices for Syngene fell by 1.96% and lagged behind their rivals over the past year. However, they have seen a positive return of 20.02% over the last three years. According to Trendlyne data, Syngene’s performance over the past year has not impressed compared to their sector, industry, Sensex, and Nifty50.

  • Duterte Faces Possible Arrest Over ‘War on Drugs’ as ICC Issues Warning

    Duterte Faces Possible Arrest Over ‘War on Drugs’ as ICC Issues Warning

    The Philippines is anxious as news spreads that the International Criminal Court (ICC) might issue a warrant to arrest former President Rodrigo Duterte over his controversial “war on drugs.” This policy led to the deaths of many Filipinos during his presidency.

    Duterte, who is currently in Hong Kong, has stated he will accept arrest if the ICC goes through with the warrant. However, the current Philippine government, led by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., has not received any official news about an arrest warrant from Interpol.

    Recently, a video showed the head of the Philippine National Police and an Interpol representative at the airport in Manila, which added to the speculation. Duterte’s “war on drugs” started when he became president in 2016. He promised to eliminate drug dealers, which led to serious accusations. Human rights groups claim that police and some vigilantes killed many unarmed people suspected of using drugs, while the authorities have denied these claims.

    The ICC is investigating possible crimes against humanity linked to Duterte’s drug policy. Although Duterte pulled the Philippines out of the ICC, President Marcos’s government has indicated they could arrest him if necessary. A government spokesperson, Claire Castro, said the police are prepared to act if they receive an official request from Interpol.

    Odell Beckham Jr. Speaks Out on Diddy Lawsuit Allegations

    Odell Beckham Jr. is in the news after being named in a serious lawsuit with Sean “Diddy” Combs. A woman has accused Odell and others, including comedian Druski and singer Jaguar Wright, of sexual assault, drugging, and kidnapping. The lawsuit was first filed last October, but it was recently updated to include Odell’s name. The woman is asking for $50 million as compensation for her claims.

    On social media, Odell, who is 32 years old, expressed his shock at these accusations. The woman claims the attack made her feel powerless and unable to move. Both Odell and Druski deny the allegations. Odell responded to Druski’s post on X (formerly Twitter), expressing his disbelief and faith in God, saying, “This world makes no sense. I know who I am and who you are. Stay strong. The truth will come out.”

    Druski, 30, added that he was not a well-known person back in 2018 when the alleged incident happened. He said he was poor and lived with his mom, which makes the accusation seem ridiculous. Druski said, “My heart goes out to real victims of abuse, but I’m sure the proof will show that this is false and that people are trying to take advantage of the legal system.”

  • Controversy Erupts Over Gulmarg Fashion Show During Ramadan in Kashmir

    Controversy Erupts Over Gulmarg Fashion Show During Ramadan in Kashmir

    Jammu and Kashmir’s Grand Mufti, Nasir-ur-Islam, has strongly criticized a fashion show held in Gulmarg during the holy month of Ramadan. He called it a “cultural invasion” because it featured models in skiwear walking in a way that many found inappropriate. The mufti said, “This is not acceptable. It goes against our traditions and religious values. The government must take legal action against those responsible.”

    The fashion show upset many people, including religious leaders and politicians. Jammu and Kashmir’s Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah, has ordered an investigation into the event. After the backlash, the designers, Shivan & Narresh, apologized for any hurt caused by their show, saying their intention was to celebrate creativity and skiing culture. They said in a statement, “We respect all cultures and traditions and we are sorry for any discomfort we unintentionally caused.”

    Kashmir’s chief priest, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, also called the show “outrageous” on social media. Abdullah agreed, saying the fashion show showed no respect for local feelings, especially during the holy month. He assured that his office is looking into it, and appropriate actions will follow.

    Abdullah pointed out that it was a private event that did not have government approval. He emphasized that the organizers did not consider the local feelings or the timing of the event. He said that if laws were broken, the police would investigate further.

His funeral took place on Sunday in his hometown in Odisha’s Kandhamal district.

    What Happened in Hampi?
    On the night of March 6, two women, one of whom was from Israel, were attacked by three men near a historical site in Hampi. A brave 29-year-old woman, who ran a homestay, was one of the victims who managed to survive the horrible experience. She said the men approached them while they were enjoying a night of music and stargazing, asking for petrol. When the victims refused to give them more money, the situation turned violent.

    The woman described how the men took her bag, which had two mobile phones and ₹9,500 in cash. “While we were yelling for help, they rode away on their motorcycle,” she reported.

    Police later arrested the third suspect in Chennai and took him to Karnataka. Koppal’s Superintendent of Police, Ram Arasiddi, stated that all legal processes would be followed, and the man might be taken into custody for questioning.

    Government Response
    Karnataka’s Minister HK Patil called the incident very unfortunate and promised to improve safety for tourists in the area. He said, “It’s very sad that such a crime happened in Hampi. The government is taking serious actions to hold those responsible accountable and to support the victims.”
