Sister of Iran's supreme leader denounces her brother's 'despotic' regime

<p>Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party on Thursday posted a historic victory in Gujarat and stormed back to power with a thumping majority, winning 156 seats in the 182-member state assembly and a seventh term, equalling the Left Front's record in West Bengal. The Congress party finished second, winning 17 seats, while the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) made its debut with five seats.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Independents won three seats and the Samajwadi Party also registered a solitary win.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The BJP improved its vote share to 52.5 per cent from 49 per cent last time, while the Congress party's vote share fell sharply from 42 per cent to 27.3 per cent, as a big chunk of its voters seems to have switched to AAP, which secured 13 per cent of the votes.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The BJP not only improved its best showing till date — 127 seats in 2002, but also surpassed the record set by the Congress party in 1985, when it won 149 seats under the leadership of late Madhavsinh Solanki, riding on the sympathy wave following the assassination of former prime minister Indira Gandhi.&nbsp;<br />

<p>Addressing party workers, PM Modi said: “Gujarat's love for BJP despite it being in power for 25 years is unprecedented, they have broken all records, written history.”</p>

<p>Crediting Modi with the party’s stupendous performance, Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel said the people of Gujarat had reposed their faith in him. “If the masses of Gujarat have elected the BJP, then we will have to live up to their expectations,” said Patel, who is likely to continue as CM, secured a second straight win from Ghatlodia in Ahmedabad by more than 1.9 lakh votes.&nbsp;<br />

The BJP has not lost an election in Gujarat since 1995. Thursday’s sweep will be a huge morale boost for the party and will galvanise the party’s rank and file and boost their morale for the 2024 general elections.<br />

Elon Musk briefly loses world's richest title amid Twitter takeover chaos

<p>A draft guidance by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said that patients considering Lasik&nbsp;to correct their vision should be warned that they may be left with double vision, dry eyes, difficulty driving at night, and in rare cases, persistent eye pain. The document warns that patients may still need eyeglasses after Lasik or laser eye surgery.</p>

<p>More than 600 individuals and professional groups have added their comments since the draft of the guidance was made public in July. The agency is now reviewing the input while preparing the final documents for wider implementation.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The correction of poor vision via Lasik or laser eye surgery is widely perceived as safe and commonplace. According to data compiled by London-headquartered Focus Clinics, 30 million people in the world are successfully treated with laser eye surgery.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Even after healing, the draft says, the cornea will never be as strong as it was before the surgery.</p>

<p>The study’s authors wrote that “patients undergoing Lasik surgery should be adequately counseled about the possibility of developing new visual symptoms after surgery before undergoing this elective procedure.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, more than 90 per cent of patients said they were satisfied with the outcome.</p>

<p>The agency in its own analysis found that six months after surgery, 27 per cent of patients experienced dry eyes and 2 per cent had difficulties that prevented them from engaging in their usual daily activities.</p>

The study’s authors wrote that “patients undergoing Lasik surgery should be adequately counseled about the possibility of developing new visual symptoms after surgery before undergoing this elective procedure.” However, more than 90 per cent of patients said they were satisfied with the outcome. The agency in its own analysis found that six months after surgery, 27 per cent of patients experienced dry eyes and 2 per cent had difficulties that prevented them from engaging in their usual daily activities. Five years after surgery, according to the FDA, 17 per cent of patients still relied on eye drops, 2 per cent continued to experience visual disturbances and 8 per cent still had difficulty driving at night.

<p>Indonesia's plan to auction the development rights to an archipelago of more than 100 tropical islands, scheduled to be held on Thursday, is reportedly facing criticism from the country's own fisheries officials.&nbsp;The auction of the uninhabited pristine Widi Reserve islands, described as "one of the most intact coral atoll ecosystems left on Earth", requires the prospective buyers to provide a $100,000 deposit.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Victor Gustaaf Manoppo, director general of marine spatial planning at the fisheries ministry, raised doubts about whether the appropriate approvals had been granted to operate in the marine-protected zone in the “Coral Triangle” area of eastern Indonesia.</p>

The firm has licensed the rights to build a climate change-sensitive resort and luxury residential properties on the reserve.</p>

<p>Manoppo said PT LII lacks full approval from the central government to manage the reserve. "Based on our information, PT LII does not currently have (marine activity approval) for the utilisation of the Widi islands’ waters,"&nbsp;he told a group of reporters last week.</p>

BNP has alleged that Sheikh Hasina is using state machinery to halt their ways to reach people in the run-up to elections. However, Hasina's party published visuals of the findings of explosives from BNP headquarters. #Police and #journalists were compelled to leave the #BNP HQ mid-raid after coming across large numbers of #explosives, at #Nayapaltan, #Dhaka. It is thus clear that BNP had no intention of peaceful assembly on 10 December, but rather planned on violence. @BDMOFA @sajeebwazed pic.twitter.com/az3hnknx5o — Awami League (@albd1971) December 7, 2022 × Meanwhile, the US warned its citizens in Bangladesh of the BNP’s planned Dec 10 rally in Dhaka, saying it is concerned about reports of intimidation and political violence ahead of the next general election. "You should avoid demonstrations and exercise caution in the vicinity of any large gatherings. Review personal security plans; remain aware of your surroundings, including local events; and monitor local news stations for updates," the US embassy in Dhaka said. Watching processes to free, fair polls: US envoy to Bangladesh US envoy to Bangladesh, Peter Haas, said in an interview that Washington calls upon all political parties to respect the rule of law in the run-up to general elections. "News reports of intimidation and political violence in Bangladesh are disturbing. Free and fair elections cannot take place in such an environment. We call on all parties to respect the rule of law and to refrain from violence, coercion, intimidation, or retribution. Moreover, for journalists to be able to cover the elections freely and fully, they must be protected from harassment and violence," Peter Haas, US ambassador to Bangladesh was quoted as saying by The Daily Star newspaper. Jatiya Sangsad, the parliament of Bangladesh, consists of 350 seats including 50 seats reserved exclusively for women, a first in a Muslim-majority nation. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's Awami League-led Grand Alliance currently has 302 seats in parliament, followed by Hussain Ershad's Jatiya Party (26) and Khaleda Zia-led Bangladesh Nationalist Party (7).

<p>Amid efforts by the South Korean government to ensure that more truckers return to work as their nationwide strike entered its 15th day on Thursday, massive supply-chain disruptions were reported in South-East Asia.&nbsp;</p>

India's central bank hikes policy rate, GDP projected at 6.8 per cent in FY23

<p>China's exports and imports declined&nbsp;at their steepest pace in the last 18 months till November, as slow global and domestic demand, production disruptions due to Covid-related restrictions and real estate slump piled pressure on the world's second-biggest economy.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Exports contracted 8.7 per cent&nbsp;in November from a year earlier, a sharper fall from a 0.3 per cent&nbsp;loss in October and marked the worst performance since February 2020, official data showed on Wednesday. They were well below analysts' expectations of&nbsp;a 3.5 per cent&nbsp;decline.</p>
