Cop recruitment shining example of Yogi govt's resolve in ensuring fair, transparent hiring system
Lucknow: The distribution of appointment letters to 60,244 police constables on Sunday is a testament to the Yogi Adityanath govt's resolve of offering jobs to eligible candidates in record time through a fair and transparent system as well as a landmark step toward enhancing law and order in the state.

The initiative has received national recognition for its technological innovation and transparency. The Direct Recruitment 2023 selected 48,196 male and 12,048 female candidates through the Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment and Promotion Board," said officials.
The examination saw 48.17 lakh applications, including 15.49 lakh from women. Conducting an exam of this scale was a significant challenge for both the administration and the recruitment board.

Russia's bone-chilling World War III threat to this western country after secret 'anti-Putin campaign'
Russia has given a stern ultimatum to the United Kingdom and has demanded a halt to all military training for Ukrainian forces as a prerequisite for ending the ongoing conflict. Russian President Vladimir Putin's foreign ministry special envoy, Rodion Miroshnik, also insisted that arms supplies must cease. The demand of Russia comes at a time amid indications that US President Donald Trump is prepared to levy heavy sanctions on the Kremlin due to its refusal to cease hostilities. Russia bombards Ukraine Over the weekend, Ukraine experienced the most intense aerial bombardment of the conflict with 537 strikes by Putin's forces, including the shooting down of an F-16 warplane, resulting in the death of pilot Lt-Col Maksym Ustymenko. NATO jets were also deployed in response to a massive Russian missile and drone attack on Ukraine. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Just Listed: 2-Bedroom Senior Apartment in St Pauls (The Price Might Surprise You) 2-Bedroom Senior Apartments Read More Undo ALSO READ: 'If he gets in...': Trump vs Zohran Mamdani escalates as US President threatens to pull the plug in fiery clash The fallen pilot was posthumously awarded the Hero of Ukraine honor by Volodymyr Zelensky for "defending our people from yet another massive Russian attack."

Live Events Today, Moscow explicitly stated its intention to terminate Britain's Operation Interflex training for Ukraine, which has prepared tens of thousands of fighters for combat. Speaking with the pro-Putin news outlet Izvestia, it was reported that: "Currently, two main Western training initiatives are active - the UK's Operation Interflex and the EU's EUMAM mission." The number of individuals trained was estimated to be around 130,000. Miroshnik emphasized that "The participation or complicity of other countries is a key issue that must be stopped in all forms - including weapons deliveries and the training of Ukrainian militants." He added: "All of this amounts to direct complicity in the conflict." He concluded by stating: "Halting these programs would be a signal of willingness to seek a resolution."

The US president's remarks came after a 50-minute meeting with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy last week on the sidelines of a Nato summit in The Hague. Both leaders described it as a positive step in a conflict that Trump described as 'more difficult than other wars'. Trump told a press conference the Patriots were 'very hard to get' but that 'we are going to see if we can make some of them available'. Asked if Washington would contribute more funding to Ukraine's defence this year, Trump said: 'As far as money going, we'll see what happens.'

Nations are meeting to drum up trillions to combat poverty - but the US isn't going
Nations are meeting to drum up trillions to combat poverty - but the US isn't going(AP Photos) Many of the world's nations are gathering starting Monday in Spain for a high-level conference to tackle the growing gap between rich and poor nations and try to drum up trillions of dollars needed to close it. The United States, previously a major contributor, pulled its participation, so finding funding will be tough. The four-day Financing for Development meeting in the southern city of Seville is taking place as many countries face escalating debt burdens, declining investments, decreasing international aid and increasing trade barriers. "Financing is the engine of development. And right now, this engine is sputtering," United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in his opening comments at the conference. "We are here in Sevilla to change course, to repair and rev up the engine of development to accelerate investment at the scale and speed required." The U.N. and Spain, the conference co-hosts, believe the meeting is an opportunity to reverse the downward spiral, close the staggering $4 trillion annual financing gap to promote development, bring millions of people out of poverty and help achieve the U.N.'s wide-ranging and badly lagging Sustainable Development Goals for 2030. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like VTP Altamira: Smart Living at New Kharadi's Tallest Tower Vtp Altair Enquire Now Undo Even though the gathering comes amid global economic uncertainty and high geopolitical tensions, there is hope among the hosts that the world can address one of the most important global challenges - ensuring all people have access to food, health care, education and water. "The government of Spain believes that this summit is an opportunity for us to change course, for us to raise our voice in the face of those who seek to convince us that rivalry and competition will set the tone for humanity and for its future," Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez told the delegates as he inaugurated the conference. The ambitious package seeks to reverse decline in development High-level delegations, including more than 70 world leaders, are attending in Seville, the U.N. said, along with several thousand others from international financial institutions, development banks, philanthropic organizations, the private sector and civil society. At its last preparatory meeting on June 17, the United States rejected the 38-page outcome document that had been negotiated for months by the U.N.'s 193 member nations and announced its withdrawal from the process and from the Seville conference. The rest of the countries then approved the document by consensus and sent it to Seville, where it is expected to be adopted by conference participants without changes. It will be known as the Seville Commitment - or Compromiso de Sevilla in Spanish. The document says the leaders and high-level representatives have decided to launch "an ambitious package of reforms and actions to close the financing gap with urgency," saying it is now estimated at $4 trillion a year. Among the proposals and actions, it calls for minimum tax revenue of 15% of a country's gross domestic product to increase government resources, a tripling of lending by multilateral development banks, and scaling up private financing by providing incentives for investing in critical areas like infrastructure. It also calls for a number of reforms to help countries deal with rising debt. U.N. trade chief Rebeca Grynspan said recently that "development is going backward" and the global debt crisis has worsened. Last year, 3.3 billion people were living in countries that pay more interest on their debts than they spend on health or education - and the number will increase to 3.4 billion people this year, according to Grynspan. And developing countries will pay $947 billion to service debts this year, up from $847 billion last year. She spoke at a press conference where an expert group on debt appointed by Guterres presented 11 recommendations that they say can resolve the debt crisis, empower borrowing countries and create a fairer system. US objections to the document While the U.S. objected to many actions in the outcome document, American diplomat Jonathan Shrier told the June 17 meeting: "Our commitment to international cooperation and long-term economic development remains steadfast." He said, however, that the text "crosses many of our red lines," including interfering with the governance of international financial institutions, tripling the annual lending capacity of multilateral development banks and proposals envisioning a role for the U.N. in the global debt architecture. Shrier also objected to proposals on trade, tax and innovation that are not in line with U.S. policy, as well as language on a U.N. framework convention on international tax cooperation. The United States was the world's largest single founder of foreign aid. The Trump administration has dismantled its main aid agency, the U.S. Agency for International Development, while drastically slashing foreign assistance funding, calling it wasteful and contrary to the Republican president's agenda. Other Western donors also have cut back international aid. U.N. Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed said last week that the U.S. withdrawal from the conference was "unfortunate," stressing that "many of the recommendations you see cannot be pursued without a continuous engagement with the U.S." After Seville, "we will engage again with the U.S. and hope that we can make the case that they be part of the success of pulling millions of people out of poverty."

Chhattisgarh HC commutes father's life term to 20 years for raping minor daughter; cites victim's consistent testimony
RAIPUR: The Chhattisgarh HC has commuted the life imprisonment of a man convicted of raping his minor daughter to 20 years of rigorous imprisonment. The court, while upholding the conviction, found the original sentence too harsh considering the facts and circumstances of the case. 'While dealing with the said case, where the victim all throughout maintained her allegation against her father to be the person who committed forcible sexual intercourse with her and thus robbed her chastity. Version of the minor victim, in the facts and circumstances of the case, merits acceptance, inasmuch as, the evidence of rape victim is more reliable than even that of an injured witness. The minor contradictions and discrepancies in her testimony are insignificant and immaterial and are liable to be ignored,' the court observed. A division bench of Justice Rajani Dubey and Justice Sachin Singh Rajput pronounced the order, in an appeal filed by the 38-year-old father. He had challenged the judgment dated September 19, 2019, passed by the Special Judge (POCSO Act), Baikunthpur. The lower court had convicted the father under Section 376(3) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and sentenced him to life imprisonment along with a fine of Rs 1 lakh. The incident dates back to December 5, 2018, when the then 13-year-old victim reported to the police that her father had sexually assaulted her while she was asleep. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like ¿Padece una enfermedad renal crónica (ERC)? Trialbee Más información Undo The victim disclosed the incident to a relative five days later, leading to the lodging of an FIR on December 20, 2018. During the trial, the prosecution examined eight witnesses. The victim testified that she had pain and bleeding following the rape by her father. She also stated that her father had threatened her not to disclose the incident. Dr. Ayushree Rai, who medically examined the victim, found signs of recent hymen rupture, supporting the prosecution's case. The defence argued that there was an unexplained delay of 15 days in lodging the FIR and that medical evidence did not support the prosecution's claims as no external injuries were found. The High Court, after reviewing the evidence, noted that while there was a delay in reporting the incident, such delays are common in cases involving sexual assault on minors due to social stigma. The court emphasized that the victim's testimony remained consistent and trustworthy across all stages, from the FIR to the cross-examination. The court cited a Supreme Court ruling which states that conviction can be based solely on the testimony of the prosecutrix if it inspires confidence and is reliable. The bench concluded that the prosecution successfully established its case beyond all reasonable doubt and found no fault in the trial court's decision to hold the accused guilty. However, on the matter of sentencing, the High Court referred to a similar case, Khemchand Rohra v. State of CG, and deemed the life imprisonment sentence to be excessively harsh. The court, therefore, reduced the sentence to 20 years of rigorous imprisonment, while maintaining the fine of Rs 1 lakh. (The victim's identity has not been revealed to protect her privacy as per Supreme court directives on cases related to sexual assault)
