Capp Longest running Indian American TV show expands nationwide The co-pilot of a missing spoke the last words heard from the cockpit, the airline s chief executive said on Monday, as investigators consider suicide by the captain or first officer as one possible explanation for the disappearance.No trace of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 has been found since it vanished on March 8 with 239 people aboard. Investigators are increasingly convinced it was diverted perhaps thousands of miles off course by someone with deep knowledge of the Boeing 777-200ER and com mercial navigation.A search unprecedented in its scale is now under way for the plane, covering an area stretching from the shores of the Caspian Sea in the north to deep in the southern Indian Ocean.Read:Airline chief executive Ahmad Jauhari Yahya also told a news conference that it was unclear exactly when one of the plane s automatic tracking systems had been disabled, appearing to contradict the weekend comments of government ministers.Read: Suspicions of hijacking or sabotage had hardened further when officials said on Sunday that the last radio message from the plane - an informal all right, good night - was spoken after the system, known as ACARS , was shut down. Initial investigations indicate it was the co-pilot who basically spoke the last time it was recorded on tape, Ahmad Jauhari said on Monday, when asked who it was believed had spoken those words.That was a sign-off to air traffic controllers at 1.19am, as the Beijing-bound plane left Malaysian airspace.The last tra Bpqy Taliban call for joint panel with UN, Nato South Korea will brief UN Security Council members next week on the sinking of one of its warships, the foreign ministry said Friday as Seoul pushes world powers to censure North Korea. HT Image The briefing by a team of investigators will be carried out at the UN in New York on Monday at the request of council president Mexico, a ministry spokeswoman said. The team will present evidence at the closed-door briefing, including a video clip showing North Korean torpedo parts being salvaged from the sea and forensic evidence linking the North to the sinking, the ministry said. After a weeks-long investigation, a multinational team said last month there was overwhelming evidenc e that a North Korean submarine had fired a heavy torpedo to break the warship in two in Ma rch. South Korea, the United States and other countries accuse the North of sinking the ship with the loss of 46 lives. They are pushing for the Security Council to admonish the communist state. Seoul formally asked the Security Council last week to respond to one of the deadliest attacks since the 1950-53 Korean War. But Russia and China, both veto-wielding members of the council, have refused to cast judgement on the investigation until they can assess the findings themselves. North Korea warned the UN Wednesday of serious consequences for peace if it debates the alleged torpedo attack without letting Pyongyang s own investigator s examine the evidence.

Cmsr Pak determined to pursue drive against Taliban to finish Thousands of Malaysians gathered in Kuala Lumpur on Saturday for a two-day rally demanding the ouster of Prime Minister Najib Razak over corruption allegations and demand broader reforms, spurning warnings by police who have declared the rally illegal. The Malaysian leader has weathered weeks of attacks since it was reported that investigators probing the management of debt-laden state fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad 1MDB had discovered the unexplained transf er of more than $600 million. Protesters hope to spark a people s power movement forcing Najib out, but political analysts doubt he will be toppled. Security was tight as the rally got under way and access to a square where the protesters plan to converge was blocked. The Malaysiakini news portal said 10,000 people had gathered by early afternoon but police estimated the crowd at half that number. Some members of the crowd had started to walk towards the square, Reuters witnesses said. Protesters carrying Out, Najib, Out placards sang the national anthem, honked plastic horns and shouted bersih! , a Malay word for clean . Bers ih is also the name of the pro-democracy organisation behind the rally in Kuala Lumpur and the two main cities on Malaysia s side of Borneo. We the Malaysians want to clean up this country, we reject dirty politics, said Tinagar Veranogan, a demonstrator in a crowd of predominantly young people as a helicopter buzzed overhead.

HT Image The 6.7-magnitude quake struck at around 9:06 am 0006 GMT 115 kilometers 70 miles southwest of Ishigaki-jima island in Japan s far south at a depth of 10 kilometres six miles , the US Geological Survey reported. Japan s meteorological agency, which measured the tremor at magnitude 6.8, issued a warning for tsunami waves of up to 50 centimetres 20 inches for a group of islands in the East China Sea, but later lifted the alert. There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage in Japan or Taiwan from the quake, which rattled buildings in Taipei and on Ishigaki-jima. We have no reports of damage for now, said a fire official on Ishigaki-jima. But we sent patrol vehicles to inform local residents and to survey the island. We felt strong shaking, but not enough to throw things off shelves, he said. I see no changes in the ocean level. Around 20 per cent of the world s most powerful earthquakes strike Japan, which is located at the intersection of several tectonic plates. An earthquake of magnitude 6.4 struck centra l Japan last Tuesday, killing one woman and injuring more than 120 people. Read breaking news, latest...

Atdv Pregnant Briton Samantha Orobator to face drug smuggling trial in Laos on Monday Hundreds more cases of p otentially avoidable baby deaths, stillbirths and brain damage have emerged at an NHS trust, raising concerns about a possible cover-up of the true extent of one the biggest scandals in the health services history.The additional 496 cases raise further serious concerns about maternity care at Sh rewsbury and Telford hospital NHS trust since 2000.The cases involving stillbirths, neonatal deaths or baby brain damage, as well as a small number of maternal deaths, have been passed to an independent maternity review, led by the midwifery expert Donna Ockenden. They bring the total number of cases being examined to 1,862.They will also be passed to West Mercia police, which last month launched a criminal investigation into the trusts maternity services. Detectives are trying to establish whether there is enough evidence to bring charges of corporate manslaughter against the trust or individual manslaughter charges against staff involved.The extra 496 cases had not emerged until now because an open book initiative led by the NHS in 2018 asked only for digital recor ds of cases identified as a cause for serious concerns. The vast majority of the 496 further cases were recorded only in paper documents.The Ockenden review was ordered in 2017 by the then health secretary, Jeremy Hunt, after the families of two babies who died under the trusts care raised concerns about their case and 21 others.They include Rhiannon Davies, whose daughter Kate Stanton-Davies died Nozg Ben Jennings on Rishi Sunak s plans to crack down on rough sleeping 鈥?cartoon Is there a case for bringing Tony Blair before the international criminal court in The Hague, charged with the crime of aggression There s no real chance of it happening, of course, but the question is nonetheless intriguing and not necessarily far-fetched. It is currently being asked at London s Tricycle Theatre, in a play, Called to Account, based on an unofficial hearing organised by the Tricycle s director, Nicolas Kent, in which real barristers, representing the prosecution and defence, questioned real witnesses about the circumstances leading up to the invasion of Iraq in 2003. The transcript of the proceedings was then edited by the Guardian s Richard Norton-Taylor into suitable length; the barristers and witnesses were played by excellent actors.The main drawback of such an exercise was apparent - the main participants in the pre-invasion events couldn t or wouldn t gi ve evidence to the Tricycle inquiry, not least the potential defendant, Blair and the crucial insider Lord Goldsmith, the attorney general. Nevertheless, for all its evidential incompleteness, it was a riveting play from which enough material emerged - some of it hitherto unknown or obscure - to justify treating seriously the original question posed.Under international law, the crime of aggression is the use of armed force by a state against the sovereignty, territorial integrity or political independence of another state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the charter of the Uni

Xyem Apophis asteroid may strike Earth in 2068 Even as China s vaunted export manufacturing juggernaut loses force and the Shanghai stock market remains in a slump, the Communist Party appears so distracted by its politically tangled once-a-decade leadership transition that it is unwilling or unable to pursue the more ambitious agenda that many economists say is necessary to head off a far more serious crisis in the future. HT Image Although the departing government has tried in recent months to address decelerating growth by easing bank loan restrictions, increasing pensions and offering tax breaks to small businesses, a lack of consensus among the top stewards of the economy has stymied a more muscular response, insiders say. Similarly, many analysts question whether the incoming leadership has the political will to overcome the resistance of the so-called princelings and other well-connected families that have prospered under the current system. China s standard economic formula, they say, is losing its potency: Overzealous government investment and lagging consumer spending are creating serious imbalances that are expected to lead to a much mor e painful reckoning, perhaps not long after the raft of younger leaders assumes power in early 2013. There are tough choices to make, but the central government appears to be so paralysed they a re just sitting on their hands, said Ho-Fung Hung, a political economist at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. The situation is looking increasingly dire. The ec Jgzs 10 big US banks may need more funds: report A delegation of senior Pakistani military officials visiting the US was deboarded from a plane, det ained, interrogated and rudely treated by security officials after one of them made a comment to a flight attendant, prompting the team to head home in protest. HT Image The nine-member delegation of high-ranking Pakistani officers boarded United Airlines Flight 727 from the Dulles International Airport in Washington to Tampa on Tuesday, but were pulled off the plane, Mike Trevino, spokesman for the Airlines, was quoted as saying by The Washington Post. He said they were deboarded from the plane after one of them made a comment to a flight attendant. The delegation was to travel to Tampa, a Gulf Coast Bay city in the state of Florida, to attend the annual conference of the US-Pakistan Military Consultative Committee. Though the spokesman refused to provide details, Pakistani officials said the remark came from a General in the delegation. The General, weary of a long day of travel that began in Islamabad, said I hope this is my last flight, or words to that effect. That sparked a call to Dulles law enforcement officials, who detained the delegation for two-and-a-half hours and refused to allow the officials to contact their embassy or the US military officials who had invited them to visit , the Post quoted an unnamed Pakistani military official as saying. The Pakistanis were finally released after police at Dulles determined they did not pose a threat. But in

Osln Richer families in England almost six times as likely to benefit from childcare expansion Re Peyvand Khorsandis article I was fined 拢150 for feeding a pigeon a chip. Is this really how councils raise funds now , 22 February , I was issued with a fine in north Wa les after I fed the last of my lunch an oatcake to a seagull on Abergele Pensarn beach. When I expressed surprise, I was informed that it was tantamount to littering even though the seagull gobbled it immediately , and that seagulls were a menace to children so feeding them was actively discouraged.I appealed in writing against the fine, but the council informed me that there were notices in the local press and signs posted all around the beach area advising the public not to feed the seagulls and that fines would be imposed for contravention.I explained that I was a day visitor from Cheshire and didnt read the local press, and that there were no notices anywhere near the beach I had actively looked for them myself . I said that if the council could provide me with the location of one or more of these signs I would gladly pay. Its reply was to say the fine had been withdrawn.Im not against the introduction of bylaws that are in the public interest, but I am most definitely in favour of information and communication to help us contribute to safe and pleasant spaces.Kathleen BradyCrewe, Cheshire Oboz We doctors must protect all victims of torture and malpractice Hundreds of other foreign national prisoners convicted of more minor offences are being detained indefinitely when they can t be deported. One of these is Mohamoud. Here is his story guardian.co.ukThe Home Office fals ely imprisoned a convicted sex offender in an immigration detention centre for nearly two years because of a failure to carry out regular reviews, a court has ruled.The supreme court verdict on Wednesday is the end of a three-year legal battle for Shepherd Kambadzi, a failed asylum seeker from Zimbabwe who was detained while the Home Office tried to remove him from the UK.Pierre Makhlouf, head of law at Bail for Immigration Detainees, which was involved in the case, said: This is very good news for other cases we are fighting and will oblige the UK Borde r Agency to take the issue of deprivation of liberty more seriously. Detention is regularly for long periods of time and there is therefore a pressing need for full protective measures. Kambadzi arrived in the UK in 2002 on a visitor s visa, which expired in 2004. In December 2005 he was convicted of assault and sexual assault and sentenced to 12 months in prison.The day before he was due to be released, he was detained under Immigration Act powers.Two years later, in April 2008, with Kambadzi still in detention, his lawyers took the case to the high court, arguing that his detention was unlawful because it was not reviewed on the required monthly basis.

Amrik Singh Bal was attacked on Saturday morning in Californias Fresno area, a report in the Fresno Bee said. The incident happened as Bal was waiting alone for a ride to work when two white men stopped their car in front of him and started yelling obscenities at him, Fresno police Sergeant Greg Noll said. Fearing for his safety, Bal tried crossing the street but the suspects backed up their car and hit Bal with their back bumper.The two men then got out of the car and attacked Bal, hitting him in the face and upper body. Bal fell to the ground and hit his head. During the assault, one of the suspects yelled Why are you here , the report said. The suspects fled only after the y heard another vehicle approaching. Bal, who was taken to a local hospital, suffered abrasions to his nose and right handand a broken collar bone.
