Reliance Disney Merger Deal Update (Cricket Broadcast Rights) | Reliance-Disney ready to sell 10 channels for merger: But companies will not sell cricket rights; said – invested 80 thousand crores

New Delhi18 hours ago copy link Disney-Reliance have announced some concessions in an attempt to get approval from the Competition Commission of India (CCI) for their Rs 71,250 crore media merger deal. However, these companies are not ready to sell cricket broadcasting rights, which are considered to be the most important part of this deal. CCI had expressed concern this week that the new company formed after the merger of the two companies could control most of the cricket rights for TV and streaming in India, which could harm advertisers. In response, the companies proposed not to increase advertising rates unreasonably. However, the companies have not promised to keep advertising rates stable for any specific period. Companies believe that they have spent about 80 thousand crores rupees on cricket rights, so they do not want to leave them. CCI will now review these new proposals and see whether these concessions are enough to reduce the concerns related to competition or whether more in-depth investigation is needed. The CCI has already asked Reliance and Disney about 100 questions related to the merger. The companies have already told the CCI that they are willing to sell about 10 TV channels to mitigate concerns related to market power and get quick approval. 120 channels after merger, 40% share in advertising marketIn the last few years, both companies have attracted users by showing cricket matches for free on some of their streaming platforms. Reliance-Disney’s goal is to become India’s largest entertainment player, which will compete with companies like Sony, Netflix and Amazon. The new entity formed by their merger will include 120 TV channels and two streaming services. Brokerage firm Jefferies says that the joint venture of Disney and Reliance will have a 40% share in the advertising market of the TV and streaming segment. Reliance is India’s largest private sector companyReliance is India’s largest private sector company with a market cap of Rs 20,29710.68 crore. Reliance currently operates in hydrocarbon exploration and production, petroleum refining and marketing, petrochemicals, advanced materials and composites, renewable energy (solar and hydrogen), digital services and retail sectors.

Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky Update; PM Narendra Modi Vladimir Putin | Russia War | Zelensky said- If India wants, the Russia-Ukraine war can be stopped: said- If India does not buy oil from Russia, Putin will be forced to ceasefire

Kyiv14 hours ago copy link After reaching Ukraine on Friday, PM Modi also paid tribute to the children killed in the Russia-Ukraine war. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that if India and its people change their attitude towards Russia, then this war can end and Putin himself will take this decision. India has a big contribution in Russia’s economy. After a bilateral meeting with PM Modi on Friday, Zelensky said, “We discussed the issue of India buying oil from Russia. Due to the war, many trade related restrictions have been imposed on Russia in the world. But in the meantime, India’s doors are open. If India stops importing oil from Russia, it will be a big challenge for Putin.” There was a bilateral meeting between PM Modi and President Zelensky for about 3 hours. ‘Putin is getting billions of rupees of help from India and China’Zelensky said, “Billions of rupees coming from India and China have helped Putin in the midst of the war. We have to stop giving money to Russia to make weapons.” The Ukrainian President said that Putin does not respect India’s PM Modi. That is why he attacked the Ukrainian hospital during Modi’s visit to Russia. Regarding India’s stand on the UN resolution related to the Russia-Ukraine war, Zelensky said, “I am not happy that we did not get India’s support. We will now try to talk to them before the next proposal is presented. We want India to be on our side. India can play an important role in stopping the war.” After the bilateral meeting between Modi and Zelensky, Foreign Minister Jaishankar held a press conference in Kiev. He said, “Today it is important for the global community that oil prices remain stable. India is a big consumer and importer of oil.” Jaishankar said- the decision to buy oil depends on the marketThe foreign minister said that there is a market strategy behind buying oil. It completely depends on the market conditions. Major oil suppliers like Iran and Venezuela, who earlier sold oil to India, are not able to operate with as much freedom today. All these reasons impact India’s oil buying policy. On the other hand, during the meeting with Zelensky, PM Modi said that India has never been neutral regarding war. We have been in favor of peace from day one. We come from the land of Buddha, where there is no place for war. We come from the land of Mahatma Gandhi, who has given the message of peace to the whole world. PM Modi said that India has never been neutral in war. We have been in favour of peace from the very beginning. ‘Territorial integrity is most important for India’Modi said, “Respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity is most important for India. I met Russian President Putin a few days ago. Then I looked into his eyes and told him that this is not the time for war.” PM Modi said that India is ready to play an active role in every effort for peace. If I can personally contribute in any way, then as a friend, I would definitely like to do so. Read full news… Finally, foreign affairs expert Know from Rajan Kumar whether India can really stop the war by not buying oil from Russia?Rajan Kumar said that if India is buying oil from Russia, then it is not doing Russia a favour by doing so, rather it is both a compulsion and a benefit for India. If India stops buying oil from Russia, then the price of oil will increase in the market, which will create a crisis for the economy. India also has some limitations. India’s economy, foreign investments, diplomatic resources are not big enough to stop such a big war. It can appeal to stop the war, can provide a platform to bring two parties on one side but we are not yet capable enough to stop the war happening in Ukraine. There is more news… Source link

Column by Virag Gupta- National interest ignored due to lack of coordination between the center and states | Column by Virag Gupta: National interest ignored due to lack of coordination between the center and states

hindi news Opinion Column By Virag Gupta National Interest Ignored Due To Lack Of Coordination Between The Center And States 23 hours ago copy link Virag Gupta, Supreme Court lawyer In our childhood, our uncle used to tell us the story of two foolish disciples who, in the name of service, divided the feet of their Guru. But when the disciples started chopping off the feet of the Guru with an axe after a quarrel over a small matter, Guru Maharaj had to run away to save his life. A similar situation exists in our country, where due to the growing animosity between the Centre and the opposition states, the constitutional system is being torn apart and important issues related to national interest are being ignored. In the backdrop of growing unrest in India and anger erupting on the streets, it is important to examine 6 major aspects. 1. Crisis in neighbouring countries: The three major aspects of public discontent in the coups in Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh are also visible in India. Growing inequality in the new economic system. Spread of ultra-nationalism and fanaticism among unemployed youth through social media. Anger of the crowd on the streets against the governments that have failed to meet quick expectations in the era of mobile and Whatsapp. 2. The Constitution is crumbling: The sharp comments of the judges in the Kolkata and Maharashtra cases clearly show that the police, administration and hospital structure in the states have collapsed. Instead of removing injustice and improving governance, politicians are doing politics even on serious matters like rape. Instead of punishing the culprits, the Constitution is crumbling due to CBI investigations in high profile cases and hearings in the Supreme Court and institutional decline of district courts. 3. Devastation of economy due to e-commerce: Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal’s statement about the illegal activities of Amazon and foreign e-commerce companies clearly shows that instead of leading the new revolution of AI, our country has become a follower and is stuck in the blind tunnel of colonialism. Despite evidence of illegal lobbying, tax evasion and violation of law, the government’s lethargy against e-commerce companies is leading to bankruptcy of crores of people. 4. Google’s monopoly: In America, strict laws were made in 1890 and then in 1914 to stop the monopoly of companies. Google, which is given the status of Mahaguru in India, has been exposed for its illegal activities and criminality in America. Google has paid trillions of dollars to companies like Apple and Samsung to increase the dominance of its search engine, web-browser, Google Ads and Android operating system. It is worth mentioning that since there is no record of such payments in India, these companies are evading trillions of rupees of GST and corporate tax in India. 5. Crisis of indigenous industries and startups in India: The mother of Kamala Harris, the next presidential candidate in America, is of Indian origin. Most of the tech companies are also run by Indians. Judge Mehta, who gave the verdict against Google, is also of Indian origin. After this verdict, Google may have to pay a heavy fine along with giving full information to the US Justice Department and FTC. Apart from this, Google can be divided into many parts to end the monopoly. The interesting thing is that apart from Google, companies like Meta, Amazon, Microsoft and Apple are also adopting many unfair measures in countries like India. Due to the failure of the government to stop their monopoly, the development of indigenous industries and startups is being blocked and the government treasury is suffering a huge loss due to tax evasion. 6. Race to take over governments: These companies registered in America coordinate with the American governments. In the last elections, Meta and other companies supported Biden against Trump. This time Elon Musk of Twitter i.e. X is openly supporting Trump. In countries like India, tech companies promote divisive forces through social media to escape the purview of law. They are also hijacking the electoral process in India along with tax evasion, cyber crime, data theft. It is sad and unfortunate that these important issues are not being debated in Parliament and the Supreme Court. If strict control over foreign tech companies is not put in place through concrete laws and effective regulators, both the economy and the banking system can collapse.

PM Narendra Modi Ukraine Visit Explained; US China | Russia Zelenskyy Putin | What did India gain from Modi’s Ukraine visit: managed to convince America, gave a message of peace to the world; claims and reality of the Ukraine visit

6 hours ago copy link This is the third time Modi has met Zelensky amid the Russia-Ukraine war. Earlier, the two leaders had met in Japan in May 2023 and in Italy in June 2024. “It is heartbreaking that the leader of the world’s largest democracy (Modi) is hugging the world’s bloodiest criminal (Putin).” When Modi visited Russia on 9 July, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said this. Exactly 44 days after this, Modi visited Ukraine. He hugged Zelensky and put his hand on his shoulder. Modi told Zelensky that he had looked Putin straight in the eye and said that this is not the time for war. When Modi was saying this, India’s Defense Minister Rajnath Singh was signing two defense deals in America. In such a situation, many claims related to Modi’s Ukraine visit have become a topic of discussion on social media. Like, did Modi go to Ukraine due to US pressure… Will the Ukraine visit worsen India-Russia relations… Know the truth of such claims from experts in the story… No Indian Prime Minister had visited Ukraine since its establishment in 1991. First of all, know why Modi went on a visit to Ukraine? Russia affairs expert Rajan Kumar told that there were 3 reasons behind PM Modi’s visit to Ukraine… Act of Balancing- PM Modi was being criticized after he visited Russia in the midst of the war. Western countries expressed displeasure over his visit to Russia and accused India of taking a one-sided stand. Western countries have a great influence in India in matters ranging from development to security agreements. This is the reason why PM Modi went to Ukraine in an attempt to create a balance between the two factions during this visit. Bridge Role Play: Neither America wants to stop the Russia-Ukraine war nor is Russia interested in ending it. When Modi went to Russia, he talked about peace there. Modi said the same thing when he went to Ukraine. India not only represents itself but also leads the countries of the Global South. In such a situation, Modi went to Ukraine and presented the side of the Global South countries. India tried to prove that it can act as a bridge between the world divided into two groups. Bilateral Talks: There has been an increase in trade relations between India and Ukraine in the last 25 years. However, India has a trade deficit with Ukraine. That is, in May 2024, we imported goods worth Rs 1081 crore from Ukraine while our export value was only Rs 88.84 crore. Apart from this, India’s trade with Ukraine went into negative in the last one year. Our export value decreased by 5.64 crores. The purpose of PM Modi’s visit was also to discuss trade relations between the two countries. PM Modi received a ceremonial welcome at the Mariinsky Palace in Ukraine. After this, Modi and Zelensky held a bilateral meeting. Claim 1: Modi went to Ukraine to please America and because of Chinareality: Rajan Kumar says that after the Ukraine war, India’s trade with Russia has increased a lot. Because of this also India was being accused of being close to Russia. America and some western countries were pressuring India that being a democratic country, India’s relations with democratic countries should be better. India’s trade is the highest with the US and it is increasing. It is also India’s compulsion to stay with the US because it can help more than Russia in any dispute with China. Ukraine, which was never a priority in our foreign policy, has suddenly become important for us, and America is also the reason for this. However, it is not that PM Modi has visited Ukraine only under pressure from America. Even before PM Modi was going to Russia, there was pressure from America not to do so, but then their words were not heeded. Actually, through this visit, India wanted to prove that its policy is impartial. India wanted to show that if it does not come under pressure from Western countries, then it will not come under pressure from Russia either. Through this visit, India has tried to address the concerns of Western countries. Along with this, India wants to prove its impartiality. PM Modi was given a red carpet welcome at Zelensky’s residence Claim 2: If India stops buying oil from Russia, Russia will be forced to stop the warreality: Rajan Kumar said that even if India stops buying oil from Russia, it will not affect it much. If India is buying oil from Russia, then it is not doing Russia a favour by doing so, rather it is both a compulsion and a benefit for India. In fact, India overtook China in July to become the largest country to buy oil from Russia. India has bought 44% of its total crude oil imports from Russia. According to a Reuters report, India’s consumption of Russian oil is 2.07 million barrels per day. In such a situation, if India stops buying oil from Russia, the price of oil will increase in the market and many essential commodities will become expensive. This will put the economy in crisis. India also has some limitations. India’s economy, foreign investments, diplomatic resources are not big enough to stop such a big war. Modi can appeal to stop the war, can provide a platform to bring two parties together, but we are not yet capable enough to stop the war in Ukraine. Claim 3: PM Modi’s Ukraine visit will worsen India-Russia relations Reality: Rajan Kumar said that Modi’s Ukraine visit will not have any effect on India-Russia relations. Russia is unlikely to make a statement. However, the Russian government will definitely be disappointed by this. Russia is stuck in such a situation that it will not react to this immediately, but in return Russia can be seen trying to improve relations with India’s enemies China and Pakistan. At the same time, Kanwal Sibal, former Indian ambassador to the US, believes that this visit

Sunita Narain’s column – Recent disasters are not only natural but also man-made | Sunita Narain’s column: Recent disasters are not only natural but also man-made

hindi news Opinion Sunita Narain’s Column Recent Disasters Are Not Only Natural But Also Man made 23 hours ago copy link Sunita Narayan Environmentalist Recently, more than 300 people died due to the tragic landslide in Wayanad, Kerala. It may or may not have been related to climate change. Before that, the incidents of landslides and floods in Kedarnath or Himachal Pradesh were also related to climate change, or may not have been. We know that climate change will lead to more extreme weather events in the future. We have seen record-breaking temperatures in many areas across the country. Then came the rainy season. There is also a clear science of extreme rainfall and its connection to climate change. As ocean temperatures rise, the world will see more rain, and that will be in the form of heavy rainfall. So, even the days with fewer rains will see more rain. India is estimated to receive rainfall for a few hundred hours out of the approximately 8700 hours in a year. But in July 2024, the number of events classified as ‘very heavy rainfall’ according to the Indian Metrology Department (IMD) has more than doubled in the last five years. Such incidents in July were 90 in 2020, which has increased to 193 in 2024. Take the data of Bareilly in UP. On July 8, this district received 460 mm of rain in 24 hours. Bareilly receives an average rainfall of 1100 to 1200 mm every year. So half of this rainfall occurred in just 24 hours. The situation was the same in Champawat district of Uttarakhand. On July 8 itself, 430 mm of rain fell in 24 hours. If you take Pune district on July 25, then 560 mm of rain fell in 24 hours. This is more than half of the rainfall this district receives in a year. Take the Himalayas. It is the youngest mountain range in the world. It is prone to landslides and cloudbursts and is also a highly seismic zone. It is fragile. Yet we build in the Himalayas as if we were building parking lots in a congested area of Delhi. We have no master plan for the towns in the Himalayan valleys. We are building on flood plains. In fact, we have started building even on rivers. We are destroying mountains. And we are cutting trees as if we will not get a chance tomorrow. It is true that we should develop the Himalayan region, but there is no justification for development projects without thinking. The hydroelectric projects being run in the Himalayas are an example of this. We should not be against these projects. After all, hydropower is an important energy source. It is also a renewable and clean energy source. The question is how should we work on these projects keeping in mind the sensitivity of the Himalayas? In 2013, I was a member of a high-level committee set up to examine these projects. The engineers said they proposed to build 70 hydroelectric projects on the Ganga to generate 9,000 megawatts of power. According to this plan, 80 per cent of the mighty Ganga river would be ‘modified’ and the river would have less than 10 per cent of its water during lean periods. Then it would be nothing more than a drain. How can this be called development, I asked? I suggested the alternative that we should redesign the projects according to the flow of the river, so that when there is more water in the river, more power is generated and when there is less water, less power is generated. This meant that the projects should be designed in such a way that the river maintains 30 to 50 per cent flow at all times. Then you would be modifying the projects, not the river. The Western Ghats of Kerala – where the landslide occurred – is part of the ecologically sensitive area recommended by the K. Kasturirangan Committee in 2013. The committee had recommended that activities like mining and excavation should be banned in these areas. But the Kerala government did not accept it and as a result, some hills collapsed due to excessive rain and there was massive loss of life and property. So remember, all the natural disasters we are seeing across the country today are not only natural but also man-made. We are building on flood plains. We have started building on rivers as well. We are destroying mountains. We are cutting trees as if we will not get another chance to do so tomorrow. Whereas the Himalayas and Western Ghats are extremely sensitive areas.

NASA Sunita Williams and Bush will return from space in February 2025 spacex dragon crew-9 spacecraft | Sunita Williams and Bush will return from space in February 2025: NASA said – will return from SpaceX’s Dragon; have been in space for 80 days

hindi news International NASA Sunita Williams And Bush Will Return From Space In February 2025 Spacex Dragon Crew 9 Spacecraft New Delhi1 hour ago copy link Sunita and Bush have been stranded in space for the last 80 days. Indian-American astronaut Sunita Williams and her partner Bush Wilmore will return to Earth from the International Space Station (ISS) in February 2025. US space agency NASA said in a statement on Saturday (August 24). NASA finally admitted that it would be dangerous to bring the two astronauts stranded on the ISS in Boeing’s new capsule. In such a situation, Sunita and Butch Wilmore will return in February in the Dragon spacecraft of Elon Musk’s company SpaceX. At the same time, the Starliner capsule will try to separate from the ISS in a week or two and return to autopilot mode. At the same time, this time only two astronauts will be sent instead of four in the SpaceX mission going in September. NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said, ‘NASA has decided that Bush and Sunita will return next February in SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft. Boeing’s Starliner will return to Earth without a crew.’ Sunita and Wilmore reached the ISS on June 5 on NASA’s Boeing Starliner spacecraft. Both were supposed to return on June 13, but their return was postponed due to a technical fault in the spacecraft. Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams with the crew after arriving at the space station on June 6. Space flights are risky: Bill NelsonSpeaking about the dangers of space travel, Nelson said, “Space flight is risky, even at its safest and most routine. A test flight is by nature neither safe nor routine, so the decision to keep Butch and Sunita on the International Space Station and bring the Boeing Starliner back without a crew is a result of commitment to safety.” He said that Boeing worked very hard with NASA to obtain the data, after which this decision was taken. We want to understand the design improvements of Starliner and the root causes of the malfunction. This will help Boeing Starliner become an important part of our crew to go to the International Space Station (ISS). Why were Sunita and Wilmore sent to the space stationSunita and Bush Wilmore went on Boeing and NASA’s joint ‘Crew Flight Test Mission’. Sunita was the spacecraft pilot in this. Bush Wilmore, who went with her, was the commander of this mission. Both of them had to return to Earth after staying for 8 days in the International Space Station (ISS). At the time of launch, Boeing Defense, Space and Security President and CEO Ted Colbert called it a great beginning of a new era of space research. The main objective of this mission was to prove the spacecraft’s ability to carry astronauts to the space station and bring them back. The astronauts had to do research and several experiments in 8 days on the space station. Sunita and Wilmore are the first astronauts who were sent on space travel through the Atlas-V rocket. During this mission, they also had to fly the spacecraft manually. Many objectives related to the flight test also had to be completed. Sunita Williams and Bush Wilmore at the International Space Station. The picture is from July 9, 2024. How did Sunita and Willmore get stuck in space for so long?There were many problems with the Starliner spacecraft since its launch. Due to these, the launch had failed several times even before June 5. There were reports of problems in the spacecraft even after the launch. NASA said that there is a small helium leak in the thruster of the spacecraft’s service module. A spacecraft has many thrusters. With their help, the spacecraft changes its path and speed. At the same time, due to the presence of helium gas, pressure is created on the rocket. Its structure remains strong, which helps the rocket in its flight. Within 25 days after launch, there were 5 helium leaks in the spacecraft capsule. 5 thrusters had stopped working. Apart from this, a propellant valve could not be closed completely. The crew present in space and the mission manager sitting in Houston, America, together are not able to fix it.

New Delhi. The people of Pakistan, who are drowning in poverty, are finding it difficult to get flour and rice. The economy is in shambles. To improve the country’s economic condition, the State Bank of Pakistan has now come up with a new scheme. The central bank of Pakistan will now print plastic notes instead of paper in the country. These notes will be made from polymer plastic. Currently, about 40 countries are using polymer plastic bank notes. These are difficult to counterfeit and have more advanced security features like holograms and transparent windows. Pakistan’s central bank will introduce a new polymer plastic currency banknote later this year. The central bank will also redesign all existing banknotes for better security and hologram features. State Bank of Pakistan Governor Jamil Ahmed told the Senate Committee on Banking and Finance in Islamabad that all existing paper currency notes are being redesigned with new security features by December this year.

A source said, “The old notes will remain in circulation for five years and the central bank will remove them from the market.” The State Bank governor told the Senate committee that the new polymer plastic banknote will be issued to the public in one denomination and if it is well received, plastic currency will be issued in other denominations as well. Currently, about 40 countries use polymer plastic banknotes, which are difficult to counterfeit and have more advanced security features such as holograms and transparent windows. Australia introduced polymer bank notes Australia was the first country to introduce polymer bank notes in 1998. Ahmed also confirmed that the central bank has no plans to discontinue the Rs 5,000 note.
