US Deploys Aircraft Carrier In Middle Eastern Waters Amid Tensions With Iran

https://ift.tt/GH5Suh1 A US naval strike group led by an aircraft carrier has deployed to Middle Eastern waters, the United States said Monday, as Tehran warned it was ready to hit back at any American attack launched in response to a crackdown on anti-government protests. A US-based rights group said on Monday that it had confirmed the deaths of nearly 6,000 people in the wave of protests suppressed by Iran's security forces, but emphasised the actual toll could be several times higher. The protests started in late December, driven by economic grievances, but turned into a mass movement against the Islamic republic, with huge street demonstrations for several days from January 8. But rights groups have accused authorities of quelling the movement with unprecedented violence, shooting into crowds of protesters under the cover of an internet shutdown that has now lasted 18 days -- the longest Iran has ever imposed. The clerical leadership who took power after the 1979 Islamic re...

Trinamool, BJP Supporters Clash Near Kolkata, Makeshift Stage Set On Fire

https://ift.tt/yvh1eYz Violent clashes broke out between Trinamool Congress and BJP supporters over putting up flags for a political programme in Sakher Bazar in Behala, roughly 11 km from Kolkata, on Sunday. The workers and supporters of the BJP vandalised the local Trinamool councillor's office. A makeshift stage, where former Tripura chief minister and BJP election co-incharge Biplab Kumar Deb addressed a public meeting in the afternoon, was also allegedly set on fire during the clash.

Rescue Team Left My Son To His Fate: Father Of Noida Techie Who Drowned

Image
https://ift.tt/g3dhVmE At 27, Yuvraj Mehta had a whole life ahead of him. This realisation is what added to the pain that his father, Rajkumar Mehta, has to live with, along with the knowledge that he will never see his son again. Even the last glimpse of his bright son, a software engineer, gave him nothing less than true horror - a father saw his son trying to get out of a water-filled pit at a construction site in Uttar Pradesh's 'smart city' Noida, only to die with no help despite a long rescue window of two hours. No parent should go through anything like this, the devastated father told NDTV. Closure is uncertain for Rajkumar Mehta. He said his family will never get justice because his son is not coming back. But if there is anything that he wants done in memory of his son, it is this: "We want the responsible people to face the harshest possible action and ensure that no other Yuvraj suffers such a tragedy in future." Rajkumar Mehta said the negligent ...

Empty Supermarket Shelves, Flights Cancelled: US Gears Up For Heavy Snow Storm

https://ift.tt/7yfGUpo Americans stripped supermarket shelves Friday ahead of potentially "catastrophic" winter weather that threatened at least 160 million people across the country with transportation chaos, blackouts and life-threatening cold. The massive storm system was set to drop a mix of freezing rain and heavy snow starting Friday evening on its days-long march across the continental US. The storm could bring "catastrophic ice accumulation," the National Weather Service said, potentially causing "long-duration power outages, extensive tree damage, and extremely dangerous or impassable travel conditions," including in many states less accustomed to intense winter weather. After battering the country's southwest and central areas, the storm system was expected to hit the heavily populated mid-Atlantic and northeastern states -- stretching from New Mexico to the Eastern seaboard -- before a frigid air mass settles in. More than 2,700 weekend ...

India Break Pakistan's Record In Big Win Over New Zealand In 2nd T20I

https://ift.tt/Wg0OTy6 Ishan Kishan justified his national recall with a sensational 32-ball-76 while captain Suryakumar Yadav scored his first fifty after 23 innings as India decimated New Zealand by seven wickets for a 2-0 lead in the five-match T20 series in Raipur on Friday. Ahead of the all important T20 World Cup, it all seems to be falling in place for India with Suryakumar (82 not out off 37) overcoming a prolonged lean patch and Kishan emerging as a destructive top-order enforcer. India were expected to chase 209 on a belter of a pitch but not with such ease after losing Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson by the second over of the chase. Suryakumar and Shivam Dube (36 not out off 18) closed out the game in a canter as India gunned down the target in 15.2 overs. Full-member teams chasing down 200-plus targets with most balls to spare - 28 balls - India vs New Zealand in Raipur (Target: 209) 24 balls - Pakistan vs New Zealand in Auckland in 2025 (Target: 205) 23 balls - Austr...
