<p>A former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) software engineer, Joshua Schulte, who gave secrets to WikiLeaks, was sentenced to 40 years in prison on Thursday (Feb 1) for "espionage, computer hacking, contempt of court, making false statements to the FBI, and child pornography."</p>

<p>Notably, the Vault 7 leak, where a series of classified documents were leaked by WikiLeaks in March 2017, exposed details about the hacking tools and techniques used by the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) for cyber espionage. The leak is considered one of the largest and most significant in the history of CIA disclosures.</p>

<p>The latest sentencing comes after 2022 conviction of Schulte on multiple charges, including four counts each of espionage and computer hacking, and one count of lying to FBI agents, media reports said.&nbsp;Prosecutors labeled Schulte's actions as "the largest data breach in the history of the CIA."

Interim Budget 2024: Meet Nirmala Sitharaman's Team

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on February 1 presented the interim Budget  2024 in the Indian Parliament. She is a Rajya Sabha MP from Karnataka and has previously served as the 28th Defence Minister from 2017 to 2019. Here's her team that put together the fiscal roadmap for India:


Finance Secretary TV Somanathan, a 1987 batch IAS officer, looks after the expenditure department. He played a vital role in implementing key government initiatives, including Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India).

Ajay Seth, a 1987 batch IAS officer and Secretary of the Department of Economic Affairs, led initiatives like India’s first sovereign green bond issuance.

Revenue Secretary Sanjay Malhotra, a 1990 batch officer, holds a pivotal role in the budget exercise by overseeing tax revenue growth.

Chief Economic Advisor to the Indian government, V Anantha Nageswaran is a key advisor to Sitharaman on economic issues. He recently represented India during the G20 Presidency's finance track discussions.

Vivek Joshi, as financial services secretary and a board member of the RBI, focuses on the government’s reform agenda for state-run financial institutions.

Tuhin Kanta Pandey is tasked with determining the government's investment strategies. His previous success in selling Air India highlighted his role in financial planning and management.

<p>A Varanasi court has granted permission for Hindu devotees to worship inside the sealed 'Vyas ji Ka Tehkhana' area in the basement of the disputed Gyanvapi mosque. Advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain, who is representing the Hindu side, reportedly said, "Hindu side is&nbsp; allowed to offer prayers at 'Vyas Ka Tehkhana'. The District Administration will have to make arrangements within 7 days. Everyone will now have the right to perform puja."</p>

<p>Sudhir Tripathi, an advocate from the Hindu side, also said that the commencement of the puja is permitted within the next seven days.<br />
<br />
Advocate Jain said, "We intend to file a caveat in the Allahabad HC&nbsp;since the Muslim side has said it will appeal in higher court."<br />
<br />
Following the court's approval for puja at 'Vyas Ka Tehkhana' in the Gyanvapi mosque, petitioners and advocates on the Hindu side displayed a victory sign.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the basement of the mosque, there are four 'tehkhanas' (cellars). Currently, one is under the ownership of the Vyas family, the former residents of the premises. Vyas has filed a petition requesting permission to access the cellar and resume the pooja claiming that it was stopped arbitrarily by an order of the then state government.</p>

<h2><strong>Next court hearing on Feb 8</strong></h2>

<p>The court has fixed February 8 as the date of hearing on an application by the Gyanvapi mosque committee saying that the plea should be dismissed. "The cellar is a part of the Gyanvapi mosque. So worship could not be performed. Therefore, pooja should not be allowed," the mosque committee lawyer Akhlaque&nbsp;Ahmad was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.</p>

<h2><strong>ASI report findings&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) earlier presented a conclusive finding that a large Hindu temple once stood at the location of the Gyanvapi mosque complex in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. Following this, four Hindu women approached the Supreme Court requesting a scientific survey of a sealed portion of the mosque.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“It is submitted that for a proper and effective investigation, it is necessary that the ASI may be directed to undertake necessary excavation and use other scientific methods around the 'Shivlingam' (being claimed by Muslims as a fountain) for determining the nature of 'Shivlingam' and associated features without causing any damage to the object after removing artificial/modern walls/floors surrounding the 'Shivlingam',” according to the petition.</p>

<p>The ASI&nbsp;survey revealed that modifications were made to the mosque using pillars and plaster from the pre-existing Hindu temple and that efforts were made to erase carvings on the pillars.</p>

A Varanasi court has granted permission for Hindu devotees to worship inside the sealed 'Vyas ji Ka Tehkhana' area in the basement of the disputed Gyanvapi mosque.

A Varanasi court has granted permission for Hindu devotees to worship inside the sealed 'Vyas ji Ka Tehkhana' area in the basement of the disputed Gyanvapi mosque. Advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain, who is representing the Hindu side, reportedly said, "Hindu side is allowed to offer prayers at 'Vyas Ka Tehkhana'. The District Administration will have to make arrangements within 7 days. Everyone will now have the right to perform puja." Sudhir Tripathi, an advocate from the Hindu side, also said that the commencement of the puja is permitted within the next seven days. Advocate Jain said, "We intend to file a caveat in the Allahabad HC since the Muslim side has said it will appeal in higher court." Following the court's approval for puja at 'Vyas Ka Tehkhana' in the Gyanvapi mosque, petitioners and advocates on the Hindu side displayed a victory sign. In the basement of the mosque, there are four 'tehkhanas' (cellars). Currently, one is under the ownership of the Vyas family, the former residents of the premises. Vyas has filed a petition requesting permission to access the cellar and resume the pooja claiming that it was stopped arbitrarily by an order of the then state government. Next court hearing on Feb 8 The court has fixed February 8 as the date of hearing on an application by the Gyanvapi mosque committee saying that the plea should be dismissed. "The cellar is a part of the Gyanvapi mosque. So worship could not be performed. Therefore, pooja should not be allowed," the mosque committee lawyer Akhlaque Ahmad was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times. ASI report findings The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) earlier presented a conclusive finding that a large Hindu temple once stood at the location of the Gyanvapi mosque complex in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. Following this, four Hindu women approached the Supreme Court requesting a scientific survey of a sealed portion of the mosque. “It is submitted that for a proper and effective investigation, it is necessary that the ASI may be directed to undertake necessary excavation and use other scientific methods around the 'Shivlingam' (being claimed by Muslims as a fountain) for determining the nature of 'Shivlingam' and associated features without causing any damage to the object after removing artificial/modern walls/floors surrounding the 'Shivlingam',” according to the petition.

<p>A ship carrying around 14,000 sheep and 2,000 cattle docked in Australia on Thursday after abandoning a journey through the Red Sea, but the livestock remained stuck on board as the government decides whether to let them disembark or send them back to sea.</p>

<p>The animals have been on the vessel since January&nbsp;5 in sweltering summer heat. Government and industry officials say they are in good health but animal welfare advocates have branded their plight as torture.</p>

<p>The situation underlines the widening impact of strikes by Yemen's Houthi militia on shipping in the Red Sea that have disrupted global trade.</p>

<p>The ship, MV Bahijah, diverted from its route from Australia to Israel due to the threat of attack and was ordered home by the Australian government.</p>

<p>The Australian agriculture ministry said on Thursday the ship had docked but that it was still considering an application by the exporter, Israeli firm Bassem Dabbah Ltd, to unload some animals and ship the rest around Africa to Israel, a journey that would take around 33 days.</p>

<p>China has accused the United States of&nbsp;targeting Chinese students trying to legally enter the country by harassing and deporting them and also using them for espionage activities that threaten Chinese national interests. In a press conference on January 31, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Wang Wenbin expressed concerns about the treatment of Chinese students at the hands of US law enforcement, specifically citing incidents at the Washington Dulles International Airport.</p>

<p>According to Wang, at least eight Chinese students with lawful and valid travel permits were subjected to interrogation, harassment, and subsequent deportation by US authorities "for groundless reasons" since the end of November 2023. He alleged that some personnel had "induced and infiltrated" the victims or persuaded these students to engage in activities that may be against China's interests.</p>

<p>Wang stated, "For some time now, the US has frequently harassed, interrogated, and deported Chinese students arriving in the US out of political purposes."</p>

<p>He said that such actions violated the legitimate and lawful rights of the students, disrupted cultural exchanges between China and the US, and contradicted the understanding reached by the two presidents on enhancing people-to-people exchanges.</p>

<p>Accusing the US of hypocrisy, Wang pointed out the inconsistency between the country's self-portrayal as an advocate for academic freedom and its alleged politicisation and weaponisation of academic research.</p>

<p>He claimed that the US was overstretching the concept of national security to suppress and mistreat Chinese students, ultimately undermining the basic human rights and lawful rights and interests of these individuals.</p>

‘Harassed, interrogated and deported’: China alleges US targeting Chinese students, using them as spies

<p>Plastic straws have long plagued marine ecosystems, posing threats to wildlife sea creatures. Using biodegradable or compostable materials is a positive step toward reducing sea pollution. These materials break down more easily compared to traditional plastics, reducing their persistence in the environment.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A recent study published in ACS Sustainable Chemistry &amp; Engineering threw light on the actual lifespan of these eco-friendly options, suggesting that some commercial bioplastic or paper straws might disintegrate within eight to 20 months in coastal ocean systems.</p>

<p>Certain US regions have implemented restrictions on traditional polymers like polypropylene (PP) in drinking straws. This has spurred a rise in the use of single-use items made from paper or bioplastics.</p>

<p>The challenge lies in finding materials that maintain functionality during use but break down efficiently when disposed of in soil, freshwater, or salt water.</p>

<p>Researchers, including Bryan James and Collin Ward, conducted experiments using real seawater to investigate the environmental lifetimes of different straws and to accelerate the breakdown of next-generation bioplastics.</p>

<p>In one test, inch-long pieces of straws made from various materials were suspended in large tanks with seawater flowing through them.</p>

<p>Results showed that after 16 weeks, paper, cellulose diacetate (CDA), and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) straws lost 25-50 per cent&nbsp;of their initial weights, projecting full disintegration within 10, 15, and 20 months, respectively.</p>
