Nepal Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has tried many things to cover his incompetence from provoking territorial nationalism to fixing&nbsp;his country's map and even overplaying the anti-India card to garner sympathies.

Oli also banked on Beijing to survive a rebellion and he accused his party colleagues of conspiring with a foreign power but none of it has worked as he still stands to lose his chair.

However, the 68-year-old Nepal prime minister is now fighting back. He has come up with another bright idea - imposing emergency.

PM Oli wants to declare a health emergency in Nepal and wants troops to be deployed to deal with the Wuhan virus. Reports say comrade Oli has been discussing the implementation of a health emergency with Nepal President Bidya Devi Bhandari in a bid to get some respite from growing criticism.

But nobody is in favour of the plan. The president of Nepal is not on board and neither is the Nepalese army as they don't want an emergency at the time of a political crisis. The Nepalese army is not in favour of deploying troops. The president wants comrade Oli to settle the party disputes first, although he has been trying to do it but hasn't got much success.

On Thursday, reports said that Oli was going to meet his party's co-chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal. It would be the second meeting in 24 hours to resolve differences but there is no word on whether the meeting took place. The prime minister is running out of time even as the standing committee of the Nepal Communist Party meets on Friday.

The meeting is set to pass a resolution to oust Ol from the prime minister's office and the party leadership. Reports say Oli will be made to compromise on at least one of these positions. At least 30 out of 44 standing committee members are against him, if they manage to pass such a resolution, it will go the party's central committee where Oli's chances are again very limited.

Oli's supporters are in minority in the central committee. In 2017, KP Sharma Oli had emerged victorious from one of Nepal's most divisive elections amid&nbsp;clashes, killings and civil unrest. Comrade Oli was seen as the unifying force from Maoists and Royalists.

Nepal's elite to&nbsp;lawmakers with Indian ancestry everybody trusted Oli to lead a "rainbow coalition"&nbsp;of parties. It's been four years and Nepal is back to square one. In fact, it has never been this divided. Oli's poor pandemic response has angered Nepal's youth and his anti-India rhetoric has split the Nepalese civil society.

Oli's surrender to China and its embassy have disappointed his own party. Oli may manage to keep his chair but he'll be sitting like the Damocles with a sword hanging over his head.&nbsp;

The Trump administration had announced that it would not allow foreign students to remain in the country if all&nbsp;classes were moved online. US Immigration and Customs Enforcement(ICE) had stated that nonimmigrant F-1 and M-1 students "may not take a full online course load and remain in the United States".

"We have conveyed our concern to the US side, it was raised by foreign secretary&nbsp;with his counterpart during foreign office consultations," MEA spokesperson Anurag Srivastava said.

According to the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP), 1,94,556 Indian students had enrolled in various academic institutions in the US in January.

"We have urged the US that we need to keep in mind the role that educational exchanges and people-to-people relations have played in the development of our relations," the MEA said while adding that the US has noted India's concern.

The US customs had said the State Department "will not issue visas to students enrolled in schools and/or programs that are fully online".

Harvard University has already announced that &nbsp;40 per cent of its undergraduates would be allowed to return to campus but their instruction would be online. However, other universities haven't announced their plans as yet for the fall semester.

Amid the rising uncertainty, Harvard and MIT asked a US court&nbsp; on Wednesday to block President Trump's order threatening to deport foreign students.

"We will pursue this case vigorously so that our international students, and international students at institutions across the country, can continue their studies without the threat of deportation," Harvard President Lawrence Bacow said in a statement.

China comprises the largest number of students studying in the United States followed by India, South Korea, Saudi Arabia and Canada.

Urged US to keep in mind role of educational exchanges: MEA on new visa rules for Indian students

Tesla CEO Elon Musk speaking through a video link at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in China said today that his company is "very close" to achieving autonomous driving technology while asserting that it could be achieved this year.

"I'm extremely confident that level 5 or essentially complete autonomy will happen and I think will happen very quickly," Musk said during the conference through video conferencing. "I remain confident that we will have the basic functionality for level 5 autonomy complete this year."

Level 5 means a car's computer will do the driving with no intervention of the driver as passengers enjoy their ride. The US transport department currently has a "light-touch regulatory approach" towards self-driving cars but the sale of level 4 and 5 would need updated guidelines, experts say.

During the conference, Musk spoke about work at Shanghai's Gigafactory which is Tesla's first production facility outside the US for the company's Model 3 and Model Y cars while reiterating that he would like to visit the plant.

“I think there are no fundamental challenges remaining for Level 5 autonomy. There are many small problems. And then there’s the challenge of solving all those small problems and then putting the whole system together and just keep addressing the long tail of problems. So you’ll find that you’re able to handle the vast majority of situations," the Tesla chief said.

The Tesla chief's comments come as several companies have invested heavily into the self-driving technology including &nbsp;Lyft, Alphabet’s Waymo, General Motor’s and Uber Technologies. Most companies are still in testing mode with customers still not ready to trust the technology after reports of crashes which have taken around the world including Tesla's &nbsp;Model S fatal crash in May 2016.

"But then there will be something very odd. You have to have a system figure out a train to deal with these odd situations. This is why you need real-world situations. Nothing is more complex and weird than the real world,” the Tesla chief stated.

"We are deeply enmeshed in dealing with the tiny details of level five simulation," Musk added.&nbsp;

Wang Yi and NSA Doval stressed on "phased and stepwise de-escalation in the India-China border areas".

Patna to be in lockdown amid rising COVID-19 cases

Kulbhushan Jadhav has come to symbolise Pakistan's sheer disregard for truth and justice.&nbsp;

Jadhav has been part of a diplomatic tug of war between India and Pakistan for the past four years with a high decibel campaign been waged over his arrest but none of it has been able to spell freedom for him.

Kulbhushan Jadhav who is a former Indian naval officer was kidnapped in Iran in 2016 where he had business interests after retirement. He was arrested on suspicion of espionage and sabotage activities against Pakistan. Islamabad claimed that he was a spy and he was their biggest catch. Jadhav was sentenced to death but India fought for his freedom relentlessly. It dragged Pakistan to the International Court of Justice(ICJ) several times.

ICJ's ruling has almost always been in India's favour. In 2019, his execution was stayed by the ICJ but Pakistan is known to not abide by the laws. It still refuses to let go of Kulbhushan Jadhav and he remains in captivity.

Jadhav's whereabouts are unknown with his well being a matter of debate. Now, Pakistan has taken its foul-play one step further. Islamabad is saying that Jadhav has refused to file a review petition of his death sentence and that he wants to go ahead with his pending mercy plea. The statement was peddled at a presser by Pakistan's additional attorney general Zahid Hafiz Chaudhry.

In simple terms what Pakistan is saying is that Kulbhushan Jadhav has admitted to being a spy. However, nothing in Pakistan's track-record will convince the world that it's speaking the truth, if anything it has only strengthened India's resolve for justice.

The ministry of external affairs has responded in sharp words. 
&nbsp; 
"The media statement by Pakistan seeks to mask its continuing reticence to implement the ICJ judgment in letter and spirit, Pakistan's claim is a continuation of the farce that has been in play for the last four years," it said adding, "he has clearly been coerced to refuse to file a review in his case."

"The government will do its utmost to protect Jadhav and ensure his safe return to India," the MEA said.

The message from India is loud and clear - it won't allow Pakistan to get away by masking facts as the fight for justice for Kulbhushan Jadhav continues.

Pakistan continues foul play in Kulbhushan Jadhav case

The list of crimes committed by the Communist Party is long and the world only has one man to blame - Xi Jinping - the general secretary of the Communist Party and the president of China&nbsp;as the leader of China the buck stops with him.&nbsp;

China tried to hide the pandemic, suppressed information and punished whistleblowers but when things got out of hand, they tried to spin the coronavirus crisis but Xi Jinping’s enormous ambition knows no bounds.&nbsp;

The power-hungry Chinese president has amassed unrivalled power at home. Now, he wants a grip on the world but in his quest for world dominance Xi Jinping has put China on the highway to doom.&nbsp;

Firstly, China’s economic woes are growing. The coronavirus outbreak is a home-made disaster for China which shook the society, unleashed unprecedented state brutality and brought the world to a standstill but, the deepest impact has been on the Chinese economy.

China hasn’t set a target for economic growth this year and the road to recovery will be hard. The Communist Party has always set a target to tell the world how well China is doing but this time even Beijing is unsure.&nbsp;

A big worry is the large pile of debt. In total the Chinese state and its subsidiaries have lent $1.5 trillion to more than 150 countries in the world. A large chunk of it has gone into Xi Jinping’s dream project - the Belt and Road Initiative(BRI).

Several countries are struggling to keep up with the loans. China’s growth story began in the Deng Xiaoping era in 1979, however, more than 40 years later China’s economic juggernaut has come to a grinding halt under Xi Jinping.&nbsp;

The Chinese president is not just stumbling on the economic front, he is bungling on foreign policy too. The list of China’s blunders after the coronavirus pandemic is long.

First, China sent faulty COVID-19 supplies to the world, then it tried to create a new narrative on the origins of the coronavirus blaming everyone, but themselves.&nbsp;

When it didn’t work, China kicked off military standoffs in six regions. Chinese ships have bulled Vietnam, Malaysia, Japan and Taiwan. The Chinese army also tried to invade Indian territory and as these crises played out, Beijing went on the offensive.&nbsp;

Chinese diplomats haven’t shied away from threatening, even abusing from the dias of the ministry of foreign affairs. The result - China now finds itself surrounded with hostile neighbours.&nbsp;

Xi Jinping keeps adding to his problems. The Chinese president could have avoided the military face-offs but, they have only added to the global backlash against China even as calls to boycott everything Chinese keeps growing.&nbsp;

Chinese investments are under lens around the world. The United States is banning Chinese companies. The European Union and India have bought&nbsp;laws to increase checks on investments from China, Chinese tech companies are also staring at bans.&nbsp;

Huawei has become the prime target for leaders who want to make China pay for the pandemic. A new breed of Chinese diplomats known as the "wolf warriors" have come under fire for their insults.&nbsp;

Xi Jinping has responded by trying to throw his weight around. He wanted to turn a crisis into an opportunity and amass power and influence in the world but the Chinese president's thirst for power is only creating more troubles for China.

Xi Jinping's hunger for power grows as China struggles with pandemic

China has&nbsp;launched a new plan called "Operation Fox Hunt" with&nbsp;agents pursuing hundreds of Chinese nationals living in the United States and their mission is to force them to return to China.&nbsp;

China has been plagued by a floundering economy, botched up foreign policy and growing global isolation but&nbsp;the Communist Party is on a different mission. China's spies are hunting dissenters&nbsp;around the world making sure that the dirty secrets of the Chinese state don’t see the light of the day.&nbsp;

In fact, China’s Big Brother knows everything - what people say, what they write, and what they do every day, those who follow the rules are rewarded and those who don't are punished. Sometimes, dissenters manage to escape but China now wants to track them down, so it has launched "Operation Fox Hunt".

On Tuesday, FBI director Christopher Wray revealed how Chinese agents are targeting dissidents.&nbsp;

"Fox Hunt is a sweeping bid by general-secretary Xi to target Chinese nationals whom he sees as threats and who live outside of China, across the world. We're talking about political rivals, dissidents and critics seeking to expose China's extensive human rights violations. hundreds of these Fox Hunt victims that they target live here in the United States and many are American citizens or Green Card holders. The Chinese government wants to force them to return to China and China's tactics to accomplish that are shocking," FBI director Christopher Wray said.

Fox hunt was launched six months ago by Xi Jinping. On the face of it, it was a hunt for corrupt officials and business executives, who had fled China but America’s FBI now believes that it's a plan to suppress dissent among the diaspora.&nbsp;

China does not hide Operation Fox Hunt. In fact, it proudly showcases it. The Chinese state media have often run reports about Fox Hunt celebrating it as a success. Five years ago, the Chinese state media claimed that more than 300 fugitives had been arrested under Fox Hunt.&nbsp;

In 2017, that number shot up to well beyond 3000. One of the most high-profile targets of Operation Fox Hunt was Meng Hongwei, the former president of the Interpol. A man who was brought back from France to China,&nbsp;put behind bars and charged with corruption. Now he's in jail serving&nbsp;a 13-year sentence. Meng Hongwei was China’s pride. He was the first Chinese national to lead the Interpol. An appointment that certainly had Xi Jinping’s approval but then they fell apart.

A report from 2018 highlights what could have gone wrong between Xi Jinping and Meng Hongwei. China wanted the Interpol to pursue Dolkun Isa who is a Uighur activist. It’s believed that Meng’s failure to pursue the Chinese warrant made Xi Jinping angry. The case of Meng Hongwei shows the extent to which the Communist Party can go to impose its will on Chinese citizens.&nbsp;

The Orwellian surveillance state wants to silence dissent both at home and abroad.&nbsp;

Lockdown will be imposed in containment zones in West Bengal for seven days from 5 pm on Thursday to check the surge in novel coronavirus cases, chief minister Mamata Banerjee said on Wednesday.

<a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/mumbai-records-lowest-single-day-spike-toll-crosses-5000-311581">Also Read:&nbsp;Mumbai records lowest single-day spike, toll crosses 5,000</a>

The situation will be reviewed after the seven days and the next course of action will be decided, she said at the state secretariat.

"This lockdown in containment zones in West Bengal will continue for seven days from 5 pm Thursday. Will review the situation after seven days and then decide next course of action on lockdown," the chief minister said.

If it is seen that the number of cases are coming down during this period, then some relaxations will be announced, Banerjee added. The West Bengal chief minister urged people to maintain physical distance and wear face masks.

Banerjee directed the police to be strict with those violating norms and send back people home, if they are found without masks. The West Bengal government had on Tuesday decided to expand the areas under lockdown and impose tougher restrictions from July 9 to stem the relentless spike in COVID-19 cases.

Meanwhile, &nbsp;the Delhi High Court Wednesday asked the Delhi government to set a committee of its officers to look into the problems faced by critical patients, who are unable to receive treatment at Fortis Institute of Renal Science and Transplantation at Vasant Kunj since the institute has been converted into a COVID-19 facility.

Justice Navin Chawla, who conducted the hearing through video conferencing, said the Delhi government's panel will inspect the private hospital and also consult with its officials and submit its report before the court within 10 days.

The high court listed for July 21, hearing on a plea seeking quashing of a June 9 notice of the Delhi government's health department to the extent that it declared and allocated 100 per cent of the facilities and the beds at the hospital for COVID-19 treatment.

The petition filed by Rameshwar Dutt Kaushik and three other patients submitted that they are suffering from chronic renal failure and are in need for regular dialysis support at least thrice in a week, for four hours each, and also various tests on a regular basis which are critical to their lives. 
' 
Advocates Arjun Kakkar and Karan Kakkar, representing the patients, claimed that critically ill patients who were availing treatment at Fortis Hospital and who require life-saving support and health services on a regular/day-to-day basis, such as cancer patients for radiotherapy, dialysis, renal failure and Thalassemia have been deeply aggrieved by the government order as this hospital was a specialist treatment facility.
