Mahavir Outraged: Vinesh Phogat Unfairly Disqualified

Share

Indian wrestling sensation Vinesh Phogat suffered a heartbreaking disqualification from the Paris Olympics final after being deemed 100 grams overweight during the pre-match weigh-in. The decision has sparked outrage and disbelief among fans, athletes, and experts alike.

Vinesh’s father, Mahaveer Phogat, expressed his disappointment and frustration over the decision. He emphasized that a slight weight difference is common among athletes and should not be grounds for disqualification. He vowed to prepare Vinesh rigorously for the next Olympics, aiming for a well-deserved medal.

Olympic medalist Vijender Singh echoed Mahaveer’s sentiments, highlighting the unfairness of the disqualification. He pointed out that boxers are given more time to adjust their weight before matches and questioned the stringent rules imposed on wrestlers.

The controversy surrounding Vinesh’s disqualification has brought attention to the weight regulations in wrestling and raised concerns about their potential impact on athletes’ performance. As the debate continues, many are calling for a review of the rules and a chance for Vinesh to compete and redeem herself.

Share

Lady superstar Nayanthara released her 75th film ‘Annapoorani’ with the tagline ‘The Goddess Of Food’ was released in December. Top actors like Satyaraj, KS Ravikumar, Jai and others played key roles in this movie. It was released on Netflix within a few weeks and a lot of Hindu organizations found the film’s content problematic. Due to the severe backlash, it was taken out of Netflix.

After a brief gap, the movie is back on Netflix again. Interestingly, it will not be available in India but people in other countries can watch it on Netflix from 9th August. Nayan played the role of a Brahmin girl who hails from an orthodox family. She wants to become India’s best chef while her father is against it. How she overcomes all the hurdles and gets what she wants forms the crux of the story.

Responding to the backlash, Zee Studios has officially released a letter apologizing to VHP and announcing its removal from Netflix until the required parts are edited back in January. Nayan is shown as a Brahmin woman who cooks non-vegetarian food in order to win the competition. A few Hindu organizations have complained that it hurt the sentiments of Brahmins. Also, a Muslim guy loving a Brahmin girl too did not go down well with some people as it indirectly supports Love Jihad. Let us see how the new decision to stream ‘Annapoorani’ in other countries works out.

Janhvi Kapoor: Struggling to Find Footing in Bollywood

Share

Daughter of the iconic Sridevi, Janhvi Kapoor entered the Bollywood landscape with considerable fanfare. Her debut film, ‘Dhadak’, while commercially successful, did little to showcase her acting prowess. Since then, despite a series of films, Kapoor has struggled to establish herself as a leading lady.

Projects like ‘Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl’, ‘Good Luck Jerry’, and ‘Mili’ garnered some critical acclaim, but commercial success has eluded her. The recent release, ‘Ulajh’, met with a dismal box office performance, adding to the growing list of disappointments in her career.

While Kapoor maintains a strong social media presence and is often in the limelight, her on-screen performances have yet to translate into sustained box office success. In an attempt to broaden her horizons, the actress is venturing into the Telugu film industry with the highly anticipated pan-Indian film ‘Devara’. Sharing screen space with the immensely popular Jr. NTR, this project presents a significant opportunity for Kapoor to reach a wider audience and potentially revive her career.

Her inclusion in Ram Charan’s next film further solidifies her presence in the South Indian film industry. The success of these ventures will be crucial in determining the trajectory of Janhvi Kapoor’s career.

As she navigates this challenging phase, the industry and fans alike await her next move with bated breath.

Experts urge IOC to sever ties with Coca-Cola for sake of athletes, planet

Share

New Delhi, Aug 7 (IANS) Amid the ongoing Olympic games, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) must cut its ties with Coca-Cola to protect the health of athletes, spectators, and the planet, urged public health experts on Wednesday.

The experts from the public health organisation Vital Strategies, put forth their views in an editorial that will be published in the journal BMJ Global Health.

They argue that the company’s sponsorship forces athletes to implicitly endorse unhealthy sugary drinks and provides Coca-Cola with undue influence over political and corporate leaders.

Coca-Cola has sponsored the Olympic Games for nearly a century, with the high-profile sporting event sponsorship being a highly effective marketing strategy.

In 2023, Coca-Cola had the most sports sponsorships of any brand, including its largest active deal with the IOC.

The experts emphasise the power of sport in influencing public perception, citing footballer Cristiano Ronaldo’s gesture of setting aside Coca-Cola bottles at a press conference in favour of water during the 2021 European football championships, which reportedly wiped $4 billion off Coca-Cola’s market value.

Despite the known health risks of sugary drinks, including obesity and heart disease, Coca-Cola remains a top-tier sponsor of the Olympics, with a contract extending through at least 2032.

The authors note that more than 3 billion people watched the 2020 Tokyo Games, making it a prime advertising opportunity for Coca-Cola.

The experts add that the sponsorship also grants Coca-Cola executives access to elite athletes and leaders, allowing for “sportswashing” of unhealthy products.

They also point out the environmental impact of the drink’s packaging and distribution processes, which contribute to plastic pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and water insecurity.

The experts continue to insist that the IOC’s association with Coca-Cola contradicts the values of the Olympic movement and contributes to global nutritional and environmental crises.

They call on the IOC to sever ties with the company, sending a powerful message about integrity, health, and sustainability.

Libya, EU discuss strengthening border protection in EUBAM’s 7th mandate

Share

Tripoli, Aug 7 (IANS) The Libyan Foreign Ministry and the EU Border Assistance Mission in Libya (EUBAM) discussed the second half of the mission’s 7th mandate on bolstering Libya’s capabilities in protecting its borders.

At the meeting on Tuesday, both sides “engaged in a constructive dialogue” based on a comprehensive review of the mission’s undertakings and agreed on commonly defined priorities, the EUBAM said in a statement, Xinhua news agency reported.

The two sides lauded “the positive results of the interagency cooperation and interaction within the framework of the sub-working groups” on land and maritime borders as well as organised crimes, it said.

In May 2013, the EU Council gave the green light for the EUBAM to support the Libyan authorities in bolstering the security of Libya’s borders.

The EUBAM’s core mandate is to contribute to enhancing the capacity of the Libyan authorities and agencies to manage Libya’s borders, fight cross-border crime including human trafficking and migrant smuggling, and combat terrorism. On June 26, 2023, the EU Council extended the mandate until June 30, 2025.

60 pc S Koreans say AI could bring more good than harm

Share

Seoul, Aug 7 (IANS) About 60 per cent of South Koreans believe that artificial intelligence could bring more potential benefits than potential dangers, a government survey showed on Wednesday.

The survey of 765 people, conducted by the Ministry of Science and ICT in June and July, showed that 57 per cent of the respondents say the potential benefits of AI could outweigh the potential dangers.

According to the survey, 23.7 per cent said there could be an even chance of potential benefits and dangers posed by AI.

The remaining 19.1 per cent said AI could pose more potential dangers than benefits.

Asked what the potential benefits posed by AI would be, 30.6 per cent of the respondents said an AI system would “improve the convenience of ordinary life.”

Another 19.6 per cent said an AI system would “enhance efficiency of work.”

Asked what the potential dangers posed by AI would be, 18.5 per cent said an AI model could cause damage due to a “malfunction.”

Another 18.3 per cent said damage could be caused if someone uses AI with “malicious intention.”

The survey also showed that 55 per cent of the respondents said innovation is more important than regulation to foster the “safe” growth of AI.

On the contrary, research from the American-based Pew Research Center revealed that a majority of teachers are uncertain about the use of AI tools in education.

A quarter of public teachers believe AI tools do more harm than good, while 32 per cent believe there is an equal mix of benefit and harm. High school teachers are more likely to hold negative views about AI tools, with 35 per cent saying they do more harm than good.

A separate survey asked U.S. teens about their experiences with ChatGPT, a generative AI tool, and their views on its use in schoolwork.

Among teens, 69 per cent consider it acceptable to use ChatGPT for research, 39 per cent for solving math problems, and 20 per cent for writing essays.

Overall, the verdict remains uncertain.

UN supplies ready for famine-stricken camp in Sudan await approval

Share

United Nations, Aug 7 (IANS) A UN humanitarian official said that life-saving supplies are ready in Sudan’s principal port for dispatch to the Zamzam camp in North Darfur, where officials earlier declared famine conditions exist.

However, Edem Wosornu, director of operations and advocacy of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), said on Tuesday that, the shipment, including essential medicines, nutritional supplies, water purification tablets, and soap, awaits the approvals and security assurances needed before it can be transported, Xinhua news agency reported.

During a Security Council briefing on the humanitarian situation in Sudan, she told members that it is crucial that permission is quickly granted for the movement of the supplies from Port Sudan to the camp near the capital of North Darfur State, El Fasher.

The council meeting came only days after the Famine Review Committee concluded that famine conditions are present in the Zamzam camp.

Assistant Executive Director Stephen Omollo of the World Food Programme (WFP) told members that the agency is significantly scaling up operations across the country and that the WFP will prioritise reaching people facing emergency and catastrophic levels of hunger along with those who have been internally displaced.

Both officials said the conflict must stop, and a ceasefire remains the only sustainable solution to prevent the further spread of famine in Sudan.

Prabhas’ ‘Spirit’: A Storm of Speculation

Share

Following the resounding success of ‘Kalki 2898 AD’, Prabhas is set to embark on a diverse range of projects, including the horror-romantic comedy ‘The Raja Saab’ and a potential collaboration with director Hanu Raghavapudi. While these ventures promise to entertain audiences, the most anticipated project in the actor’s lineup remains ‘Spirit’, helmed by the intense filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga.

Vanga, renowned for his gritty dramas like ‘Arjun Reddy’ and ‘Animal’, has revealed that ‘Spirit’ will showcase Prabhas in a starkly different avatar as an honest police officer. Initial reports suggested that Korean actor Don Lee was being considered for the antagonist’s role, generating significant excitement among fans. However, rumors soon surfaced about the possibility of casting Gopichand, Prabhas’ close friend and co-star from the iconic film ‘Varsham’, as the villain. While the prospect of this reunion thrilled many, industry insiders have dismissed these speculations, reaffirming Don Lee as the primary choice for the antagonist.

Another point of contention has been the female lead. The names of several leading actresses have been floated, but the name that has resonated most strongly with fans is that of Trisha Krishnan. The on-screen chemistry between Prabhas and Trisha, showcased in films like ‘Varsham’, ‘Pournami’, and ‘Bujjigadu’, is legendary. Their potential reunion in ‘Spirit’ has ignited a wave of excitement and anticipation. However, a section of the audience has expressed concerns about opting for a senior actress, arguing that it might not align with the film’s overall appeal.

Despite these differing opinions, there is no denying the fact that Trisha remains a highly sought-after actress with a proven track record of delivering stellar performances. Her ability to effortlessly share the screen with leading actors across generations is a testament to her talent and versatility. Ultimately, the final decision rests with the filmmakers, and fans eagerly await official announcements regarding the cast and crew of ‘Spirit’.

As the project progresses, it is evident that ‘Spirit’ is already generating immense buzz and expectations. With Prabhas in the lead and Sandeep Reddy Vanga at the helm, the film promises to be a cinematic experience unlike any other.
