<p>India's Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (I&amp;B) has warned social media influencers against endorsing offshore online betting and gambling platforms. Issuing a statement on Thursday (Mar 21), the I&amp;B ministry said that online gambling has significant financial and socio-economic implications. "The Ministry has said that these advertisements have significant financial and socio-economic implications of online betting and gambling on consumers, particularly the youth," the statement said.</p>

<p>"The ministry has further advised the online advertisement intermediaries not to target such promotional content towards Indian audience. Social media intermediaries have also been advised to conduct sensitization efforts among their users to refrain from publishing such content," it added.</p>

<p>The ministry said that a failure to comply with the advisory might lead to proceedings under the provisions of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, including removal or disabling of social media posts or accounts and penal action under the applicable statutes.</p>

<p>The advisory stressed that while Section 79 of the Information Technology (IT) Act, 2000 provides for exemption from liability of intermediaries for third-party information, data, or communication link made available or hosted by them, "subsection (3)(b) of section 79 provides that the exemption from liability shall not apply if upon receiving actual knowledge, or on being notified by the appropriate Government or its agency that any information, data or communication link residing in or connected to a computer resource controlled by the intermediary is being used to commit the unlawful act, the intermediary fails to expeditiously remove or disable access to that material on that resource without vitiating the evidence in any manner."</p>

<p>The I&amp;B ministry further reiterated the advisory by the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) which expressed concerns over celebrities and influencers endorsing betting and gambling platforms.

<p>The Indian Supreme Court on Friday (Mar 22) refused to entertain the bail plea of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader K Kavitha who was arrested in the money laundering case linked to the Delhi excise policy irregularities matter, the news agency ANI reported. Kavitha, through her lawyer P Mohith Rao, had moved the Supreme Court on March 18 challenging her arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the case.</p>

<p>On Friday, the apex court remarked that it has to follow a uniform policy for all and can't allow people to approach the top court directly for bail as they are a political person, the news agency ANI reported. The court added that Kavitha, 46, can move a trial court or invoke any other remedy for the grant of bail and bail application, if any is filed, be decided expeditiously.</p>

<p>Nearly 70 former&nbsp;officials of the United States&nbsp;on Wednesday (Mar 20) urged President Joe Biden to warn Israel of serious consequences if it denied civil rights and basic necessities to Palestinians and expanded settlement activity in the West Bank. In a letter to President Biden as seen by the news agency Reuters, the group said that Washington must be willing to take concrete action to oppose such practices by Israel.</p>

<p>The signatories included over a dozen former ambassadors, retired State Department officials, and former Pentagon, intelligence and White House officials. They underscored rising dismay in the US over Israel's offensive in the Gaza Strip.&nbsp;</p>

Nearly 70 former officials of the United States on Wednesday (Mar 20) urged President Joe Biden to warn Israel of serious consequences if it denied civil rights and basic necessities to Palestinians and expanded settlement activity in the West Bank. In a letter to President Biden as seen by the news agency Reuters, the group said that Washington must be willing to take concrete action to oppose such practices by Israel. The signatories included over a dozen former ambassadors, retired State Department officials, and former Pentagon, intelligence and White House officials. They underscored rising dismay in the US over Israel's offensive in the Gaza Strip.

<p>The Congress, which is the main opposition party in India, slammed the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over the freezing of its bank accounts weeks ahead of the Lok Sabha elections in the country. Addressing a party press conference in New Delhi, Congress Lok Sabha MP Rahul Gandhi said, "This is a criminal action on the Congress party, a criminal action done by the Prime Minister and the Home Minister...So, the idea that India is a democracy is a lie. There is no democracy in India today."</p>

<p>"Twenty per cent of India votes for us and we are not able to pay Rs 2 for anything. It has been orchestrated to cripple us in the elections. Even if our bank accounts are unfrozen today, a huge amount of debt damage has been done to Indian democracy," Gandhi, the former party president, said.</p>

<p>Patanjali Ayurved Managing Director Acharya Balkrishna has tendered an unqualified apology in the Supreme Court over alleged misleading advertisements.<br />
In an affidavit, Patanjali Ayurved Managing Director Acharya Balkrishna said that he submits an unqualified apology before the top court for the breach of the statement recorded in the order copy of the top court dated November 21, 2023.</p>

<p>Acharya Balkrishna said that he will ensure that such advertisements are not issued in the future and submits that its intention is only to exhort the citizens of this country to lead a healthier life by consuming products of the Ayurvedic company, including products for lifestyle ailments, through the use of age old literature and materials supplemented and backed by Ayurvedic research.</p>

<p>"The deponent regrets that the advertisement in question, which was meant to contain only general statements, inadvertently included the offending sentences. The same was bona-fide and added to the routine course by the media department of the Respondent No. 5 Company. The personnel of the media department of the Respondent No. 5 Company were not cognizant of the order dated November 21, 2023," read the affidavit.</p>

<p>Acharya Balkrishna further submitted that Schedule J of the Drugs and Magic Remedies (Objectionable Advertisements) Act, 1954, read with the Drugs and Magic Remedies (Objectionable Advertisements) Act, 1955, is in an archaic state and the last changes were introduced in 1996. The Drug &amp; Cosmetic Act, 1940, was passed when scientific evidence in Ayurveda research was lacking.</p>

<p>The Ayurvedic Company now possesses evidence-based scientific data with clinical research conducted in Ayurveda, which would demonstrate the advances made through scientific research in the context of diseases mentioned in the said schedule.</p>

<p>In light of the same, it is humbly submitted that the deponent's only quest is for a better and healthier life for each and every citizen and to reduce the burden on the country's healthcare infrastructure by providing holistic, evidence based solutions for lifestyle-related medical complications through the use of the age-old traditional approaches of Ayurveda and Yoga, the affidavit said.</p>

<p>In fact, the idea was to promote the Ayurvedic products, which are based on age old literature/material backed by scientific research, the affidavit said.</p>

<p>The affidavit came as a response to the SC's earlier order, whereby the court sought from Patanjali Ayurveda Managing Director Acharya Balkrishna a response to the show cause notice in contempt proceedings against him over alleged misleading advertisements of Patanjali Ayurved.</p>

<p>In the earlier hearing, the top court issued notice to Ayurvedic Company, asking it to show cause why contempt of action should not be initiated against the company and its managing director for giving misleading advertisements.</p>

<p>The top court had observed that the ayurvedic company has prima facie violated the top court's order dated November 20, 2023, where it cautioned against misleading advertisements about its medicines.</p>

<p>The court had also restrained the Ayurvedic Company (Patanjali Ayurved) from advertising or branding their products specified as treating disease under the drug norms and also cautioned it from making any statements against any system of medicine in the media.</p>

<p>The court's observation came when it noted that the company has given alleged misleading advertisements.</p>

<p>The court was dealing with an Indian Medical Association plea seeking to frame guidelines for prohibiting false and misleading advertisements in relation to allopathy and modern medicine.</p>

<p>IMA, a registered society, has more than 3,30,000 medical doctors as its members all over the country. The petition also raised the issue of the campaign of misguidance, misinformation and disparagement against the modern system of medicine.</p>

<p>A 59-year-old man from the US state of Georgia, who was convicted of killing his ex-girlfriend in 1993, was put to death on Wednesday (Mar 20) in the state's first execution in more than four years. The last execution happened in January 2020.</p>

<p>Willie James Pye received an injection of the sedative pentobarbital and was pronounced dead on Wednesday night at the state prison in Jackson, a report by the news agency Associated Press said.</p>

<p>Pye was asked by the warden whether he wanted to say any final words, and he indicated no. On being asked if he wanted a prayer said for him, Pye indicated that he did. A member of the clergy then said a brief prayer, asking God to help the 59-year-old experience some grace and mercy, the report said.</p>

<h2><strong>The case</strong></h2>

<p>Pye had been in an on-and-off relationship with Alicia Lynn Yarbrough. He had been sentenced to die for his conviction in the November 1993 abduction, rape, and shooting death of Yarbrough.</p>

<p>At the time of her death, Yarbrough was living with another man. According to prosecutors, Pye, Chester Adams, and a 15-year-old planned to rob the woman's partner and bought a weapon before heading to a party nearby.</p>

<p>The trio left the party around midnight and went to the house where Yarbrough lived with her baby. They forced their way into the house and forced the woman to go with them, leaving the baby alone, the prosecutors said.</p>

<p>The trio drove Yarbrough to a motel where they raped her and then left the motel with her in the car. Citing court filings, the report said that Pye ordered his ex-girlfriend out of the car and shot her.</p>

<p>The woman's body was found on November 17, 1993, a few hours after she was killed. Pye and Adams denied knowing about her death but the teenager confessed and implicated the other two. The teenager became the main witness in Pye's trial.</p>

<p>In 1996, a jury found Pye guilty of murder, kidnapping, armed robbery, rape, and burglary and sentenced him to death.</p>

<h2><strong>The arguments of Pye's lawyers</strong></h2>

<p>As the trial began, Pye's lawyers argued that prosecutors relied heavily on the teenager’s testimony but that he later gave inconsistent statements. In court filings, the lawyers said that such statements as well as Pye's testimony indicated that Yarbrough left the home willingly and went to the motel to trade sex for drugs.</p>

<p>The lawyers also said that their client was raised in extreme poverty, and suffered from frontal lobe brain damage, potentially caused by fetal alcohol syndrome, which harmed his planning ability and impulse control.</p>

<p>The report said that his lawyers filed late appeals urging the US Supreme Court to step in, but the justices unanimously rejected to stop the execution. They argued that Georgia had not met the necessary conditions for resuming executions after the COVID-19 pandemic and reiterated arguments that Pye was ineligible for execution due to an intellectual disability.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, state responses argued the claims had been previously settled by the courts and were without merit.&nbsp;</p>

A 59-year-old man from the US state of Georgia, who was convicted of killing his ex-girlfriend in 1993, was put to death on Wednesday (Mar 20) in the state's first execution in more than four years. The last execution happened in January 2020. Willie James Pye received an injection of the sedative pentobarbital and was pronounced dead on Wednesday night at the state prison in Jackson, a report by the news agency Associated Press said. Pye was asked by the warden whether he wanted to say any final words, and he indicated no. On being asked if he wanted a prayer said for him, Pye indicated that he did. A member of the clergy then said a brief prayer, asking God to help the 59-year-old experience some grace and mercy, the report said. The case Pye had been in an on-and-off relationship with Alicia Lynn Yarbrough. He had been sentenced to die for his conviction in the November 1993 abduction, rape, and shooting death of Yarbrough. At the time of her death, Yarbrough was living with another man. According to prosecutors, Pye, Chester Adams, and a 15-year-old planned to rob the woman's partner and bought a weapon before heading to a party nearby. The trio left the party around midnight and went to the house where Yarbrough lived with her baby. They forced their way into the house and forced the woman to go with them, leaving the baby alone, the prosecutors said. The trio drove Yarbrough to a motel where they raped her and then left the motel with her in the car. Citing court filings, the report said that Pye ordered his ex-girlfriend out of the car and shot her. The woman's body was found on November 17, 1993, a few hours after she was killed. Pye and Adams denied knowing about her death but the teenager confessed and implicated the other two. The teenager became the main witness in Pye's trial. In 1996, a jury found Pye guilty of murder, kidnapping, armed robbery, rape, and burglary and sentenced him to death. The arguments of Pye's lawyers As the trial began, Pye's lawyers argued that prosecutors relied heavily on the teenager’s testimony but that he later gave inconsistent statements. In court filings, the lawyers said that such statements as well as Pye's testimony indicated that Yarbrough left the home willingly and went to the motel to trade sex for drugs. The lawyers also said that their client was raised in extreme poverty, and suffered from frontal lobe brain damage, potentially caused by fetal alcohol syndrome, which harmed his planning ability and impulse control. The report said that his lawyers filed late appeals urging the US Supreme Court to step in, but the justices unanimously rejected to stop the execution. They argued that Georgia had not met the necessary conditions for resuming executions after the COVID-19 pandemic and reiterated arguments that Pye was ineligible for execution due to an intellectual disability. However, state responses argued the claims had been previously settled by the courts and were without merit. (With inputs from agencies)

<p>The main airport in Haiti's capital city Port-au-Prince remains closed since gang attacks started in the country in&nbsp;February.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>'It's just terrible...'</strong></h2>

<p>Speaking to the American daily Miami Herald, evacuee Avlot Quessa said, "It’s just terrible ... The suffering, you can only imagine." Quessa, who lives in Boston, was in Haiti's Hinche last month for what was supposed to be a weeklong trip to visit his mother. However, he ended up staying for over 20 days.</p>

<p>“Haiti is my homeland and it’s very stressful to see the homeland going through this act of violence, destruction ... and they are our neighbours,” Quessa added.</p>
