Speaker 1: This is the gatch upon three things by the inn
Speaker 1: Express and i'm Ithasharban. Today is the seventeenth of August,
Speaker 1: and here at today's headlines. Now one hundred days is
Speaker 1: an odd unit for measuring a government, long enough for
Speaker 1: advertisements and achievement lists, but too short to know whether
Speaker 1: the habits of the state have actually changed.
Speaker 2: For chief ministers see Joseph j.
Speaker 1: Though the milestone matters because Tamilnadu has rarely conducted an
Speaker 1: experiment quite like this, an old and formidable administrative machine
Speaker 1: suddenly occupied by a political class with almost no experience
Speaker 1: operating it.
Speaker 2: At the government's.
Speaker 1: Fiftieth day mark, a senior officer described DVK as almost
Speaker 1: like a new government after independence, full of energy with
Speaker 1: almost total ignorance. Ministers and MLAs who had never attended
Speaker 1: government review meetings, studied policy docum or navigated the secretariat
Speaker 1: had in effect walked into Fort Saint George one morning
Speaker 1: and discovered the state. Their ignorance has been both a
Speaker 1: handicap and an advantage. The most striking example is corruption.
Speaker 1: Senior officials across departments say visible corruption has declined, although
Speaker 1: nobody confidently predicts how long that will last.
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, in other major news, weeks after the.
Speaker 1: Section of students at Hyderabad's Nulsar University of Law had
Speaker 1: opposed having Chief Justice of India Sura Kant as the
Speaker 1: chief guest at their convocation.
Speaker 2: The mode of the campus seems to be shifting, not least.
Speaker 1: Because of how the controversy unfolded over the days that followed.
Speaker 1: Even as the university was awaiting a response from the
Speaker 1: CGI to the invite, on thirteenth of August, BCI chairperson
Speaker 1: Manan Kumar Mishra issued two letters within a gap of
Speaker 1: few hours. While the first one stated the state Bar
Speaker 1: Councils should not enroll the students of the twenty twenty
Speaker 1: six batch of NULSA, the subsequent letter attracted disorder but
Speaker 1: asked for an inquiry into the protests against the CGI
Speaker 1: on campus. Later this directive was dropped as well. On
Speaker 1: fourteenth of August, BCI received a rebuke from the CGI himself,
Speaker 1: who asked, quote who are they referring to BCI to
Speaker 1: unnecessarily raise an issue?
Speaker 2: End quote.
Speaker 1: A day later, it was Mistra's turn to issue an
Speaker 1: apology letter to the law students. Another news making national headlines,
Speaker 1: the Ministry of Defense today inked a nineteen hundred and
Speaker 1: forty three crow rupees contract with American Defense Major General
Speaker 1: Atomics Aeronautical to lease two MQ nine BC Guardian High
Speaker 1: Altitude Long Endurance remotely piloted aircraft systems for the Indian
Speaker 1: Navy for thirty months. In a statement, the Defense Ministry
Speaker 1: said that the contract was signed in the presence of A.
Speaker 1: And Barau, Additional Secretary and Director General Acquisition and Department
Speaker 1: of Defense. It set the MQ nine BC Guardian hail rpas,
Speaker 1: equipped with advanced systems, state of the art censors and
Speaker 1: sophisticated payloads, will significantly enhance the Indian Navy's maritime domain
Speaker 1: awareness capabilities. Another major US, the Supreme Court today said
Speaker 1: it might pass orders listening ways to transparently maintained donations
Speaker 1: at the Ramandhar in Nayodha in the wake of the
Speaker 1: alleged embezzlement of funds at the temple. Chief Justice of
Speaker 1: India Surikanth remarked orally while hearing petitions seeking probe into
Speaker 1: the alleged embezzlement, quote, there are certain other directions which
Speaker 1: are required for the purpose of reforms that we will
Speaker 1: issue we are also considering this fact and how the
Speaker 1: donation amount should be maintained. What kind of transparency is needed?
Speaker 1: Quote The CGI made the remark as a council urged
Speaker 1: the three judge bench, also comprising Justices Joimala Bakchi and V. Mohana,
Speaker 1: to direct the trust managing the shrine to publish the
Speaker 1: details of the donations received so far and in the
Speaker 1: end in news making global headlines. The US in Iran
Speaker 1: aren't fighting only with missiles alongside strikes in the standoff
Speaker 1: over the Strait of Homos. A quite a battle is
Speaker 1: playing out online, where unverified claims are being amplified across
Speaker 1: borders and in some cases entering the political discourse around
Speaker 1: fragile Cy's fire talks.
Speaker 2: The New York.
Speaker 1: Times traced one example in detail. A claim about Iran's
Speaker 1: nuclear program began on an obscure corner of the Internet
Speaker 1: and within ours spread to prominent media outlets in Israel
Speaker 1: and the US. It was later cited in a speech
Speaker 1: by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nathan Yahu and shared online
Speaker 1: by Mike Waltz, the Trump administration's ambassador to the United Nations,
Speaker 1: and with that this was all for today. This was
Speaker 1: the catch up on three things by the Inni Express
