  • ICC Under Fire: U.S. and Russia Challenge Court’s Authority

    ICC Under Fire: U.S. and Russia Challenge Court’s Authority

    The head of the International Criminal Court (ICC), Judge Tomoko Akane, is upset with the United States and Russia for interfering with the court’s work. She called their actions terrible and compared them to terrorizing the ICC.

    U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, whose party will control Congress soon, called the ICC a “dangerous joke” and said anyone who tries to help the ICC will face sanctions. He got angry after the ICC decided to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defense minister for serious crimes during the ongoing conflict in Gaza. This is the first time the ICC has gone after a leader from a major Western ally.

    The ICC is struggling because it doesn’t have its own police and relies on countries to carry out its arrest orders. Some countries, like France, say they will think about the legal protections Netanyahu might have before acting. Austria said it would follow the warrant reluctantly, while Hungary expressed support for Israel instead of the ICC.

    Global legal expert Janina Dill warned that these threats could hurt international justice efforts. Meanwhile, Karim Khan, the ICC’s chief prosecutor, is facing serious personal allegations. He is accused of trying to pressure a coworker into a relationship. An investigation is starting, but it’s uncertain if this will be discussed at the ICC meeting.

    The ICC was created in 2002 to bring people who commit terrible crimes to justice, but it has faced criticism for not being effective and not being able to capture wanted leaders.

Some students received more than one offer, and 199 students decided to accept their PPOs right away.

  • Nasa’s Exciting Experiments with Artificial Clouds Revealed!

    Nasa’s Exciting Experiments with Artificial Clouds Revealed!

    NASA is conducting exciting experiments to make artificial clouds high in the sky! These clouds are made by releasing special chemicals like trimethyl aluminum (TMA) from rockets. They help scientists learn more about Earth’s atmosphere, which is the area surrounding our planet.

    When these chemicals are released between 80 to 400 kilometers up in the air, they create glowing trails. These bright trails allow scientists to see how air moves and changes in the atmosphere. NASA says that these substances are safe for the environment and are only released in small amounts, much higher than where airplanes fly.

    The main purpose of these experiments is to understand important things like how energy moves in the air, what happens between different gases, and how these things can affect space weather. This is key information for knowing how solar activity can impact satellites and technology on Earth.

    NASA is also doing related research, like studying gamma rays during thunderstorms, to improve our understanding of Earth’s atmosphere. They carry out these experiments all over the world, launching special rockets from different locations suited for each study. Recently, they did some cloud experiments over Norway, but they have no plans to do any over France soon.

    NASA is careful about being transparent and ensures that their experiments do not harm the environment. If they changed the natural conditions too much, it would mess up their research. While some people are worried and think these clouds might be harmful or that NASA is changing the weather, the agency is focused on understanding the mysteries above us.

  • Congress Criticizes Government for Slowing GDP and Manufacturing Growth

    Congress Criticizes Government for Slowing GDP and Manufacturing Growth

    On Monday, Congress MP Jairam Ramesh criticized the Indian government for not helping private investment in manufacturing. He made this statement after a report showed that the Indian economy grew by only 5.4% from July to September 2024. This is a big drop compared to last year when it grew by 8.1%.

    Ramesh pointed out that the government’s promises, like tax cuts and incentives for production, do not match reality. He said, “Make in India has turned into Make-Believe in India.” He also mentioned that manufacturing growth has slowed down to just 2.2%.

    Exports are also troubling, growing by only 2.8%. This shows that the Prime Minister’s goal of making India a global manufacturing hub has not been achieved. According to Ramesh, the “Make in India” program started ten years ago, but manufacturing and exports are still struggling.

    He highlighted that the share of manufacturing in India’s economy has dropped from 18.1% in 2011-12 to 14.3% in 2022-23. Ramesh raised concerns about unemployment too, pointing out that jobs in manufacturing have decreased from 51.3 million in 2017 to 35.65 million in 2022-23.

    In specific sectors like garments, exports fell from $15 billion in 2013 to $14.5 billion in 2023. Meanwhile, countries like Bangladesh and Vietnam have passed India in garment exports.

    Ramesh also linked the problem to cheap imports from China, stating that many small businesses in India have closed because they cannot compete. He said that over a third of small businesses making stainless steel in Gujarat have shut down due to these imports.

    Lastly, Ramesh compared the current situation to when Manmohan Singh was Prime Minister, noting that India’s share of global exports grew much faster during that time. The latest reports show that India’s GDP in the second quarter of the current financial year is estimated at ₹44.10 lakh crore, a moderate growth compared to last year’s figures, but much less than the Reserve Bank of India’s prediction of 7%.

  • Partha Chatterjee’s Bail Hearing Delayed Amid Serious Money Laundering Claims

    Partha Chatterjee’s Bail Hearing Delayed Amid Serious Money Laundering Claims

    On Monday, the Supreme Court paused the hearing about TMC leader Partha Chatterjee’s bail request. Chatterjee is involved in a money laundering case related to a job scam in West Bengal. Justices Surya Kant and Ujjal Bhuyan wanted to look at more documents before making a decision.

    During the hearing, Chatterjee’s lawyer shared information about how long he has been in custody for other cases. The Court asked for details about how long Chatterjee has been in police custody and judicial custody. This case is about problems with hiring primary school teachers, and many witnesses are expected to speak, but the trial hasn’t started yet.

    Chatterjee, who is 73 years old, has been in jail for almost 2.5 years. His lawyer, Mukul Rohatgi, told the Court that there are 183 witnesses in this case, but things are moving slowly. On the other hand, Additional Solicitor General SV Raju, representing the Enforcement Directorate (ED), warned that the charges against Chatterjee are serious. The ED found over Rs 21 crore in cash connected to Chatterjee.

    The Supreme Court recognized the seriousness of the case and mentioned that the investigation is ongoing and the conviction rates in money laundering cases are low. It was shared that a chargesheet has been filed, but the investigation is still continuing. It was also noted that Chatterjee is in judicial custody for another case with the CBI.

    Chatterjee was arrested by the ED in July 2022 for his part in the West Bengal School Service Commission (SSC) recruitment scam, which involves problems in hiring teachers and non-teaching staff for government schools. His associate, Arpita Mukherjee, was also arrested. The ED discovered over Rs 49 crore in cash, gold bars, and important documents linked to Chatterjee and Mukherjee.

    After Chatterjee’s arrest, he was removed from his ministerial duties, and the Trinamool Congress (TMC) kicked him out of all party roles, including secretary general. Meanwhile, the Calcutta High Court has ordered the CBI to investigate illegal hiring for several staff positions and teachers in the state.
