<p>The December 2022—14th edition of the&nbsp;report noted that over the next five years, the annual rate of GDP growth is expected to average 6.4%. After that, the growth is expected to average 6.5% in the subsequent nine years.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Like the world, India also faced the wrath of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic as the nation has the third-highest death toll globally. In the beginning, the pandemic caused a significant decline in economic activity, with output contracting by 6.6% in the fiscal year 2020/21.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But in the post-pandemic times, countries are now looking to revive their economy, and so is India. The report mentioned that a sharp rebound in economic activity in the post-pandemic era was led by a rise in domestic demand. It has resulted in GDP growing by 8.7% in the fiscal year 2021/22, making India the fastest-growing major economy in the world.&nbsp;</p>

COVID-19: Xi Jinping finally speaks as China faces 'new situation', urges steps to 'protect' lives

<p>The Indian defence ministry has cleared the procurement of around 120 Pralay ballistic missiles for the Indian armed forces, reports said on Sunday (December 25).&nbsp;</p>

<p>The ballistic missiles will be deployed by the Indian armed forces along the borders with China and Pakistan. These are surface-to-surface short-range ballistic missiles (SRBM) developed for battlefield use.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Currently, the Pralay ballistic missiles can take out targets from 150 to 500 kms. It is extremely difficult for the enemy to intercept through interceptor missiles.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Senior defence sources told ANI, "A high-level meeting of the Defence Ministry cleared the acquisition of around 120 missiles for the armed forces and their deployment along the borders."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Reports have mentioned that the Pralay ballistic missiles can change their path after covering a certain range in midair. The missiles are powered by a solid propellant rocket motor and other new technologies.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The missile guidance system includes state-of-the-art navigation and integrated avionics.&nbsp;</p>

<p>India now permits the use of ballistic missiles in tactical roles, therefore the acquisition of these ballistic missiles is considered a significant development for the nation.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>The media wing of the Pakistan Army said on Sunday (December 25) that the terrorist group Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) killed six security personnel by carrying out several attacks in the last two days in the Balochistan province. A few other security officials were injured.&nbsp;</p>

<p>An official statement released by Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) read that during an operation in the Sambaza area of Zhob district, a terrorist and a soldier were killed during an exchange of fire between militants and the security forces.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The operation was launched after "credible information" was received and continued for the last 96 hours.&nbsp;</p>

Pakistani Taliban kill six security personnel in multiple attacks in Balochistan

<p>Myanmar's ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi will receive the final verdicts on five remaining charges in the 18-month trial on Friday, the news agency AFP reported quoting a legal source said, adding that Suu Kyi appeared in good health.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The source close to the matter said on Monday, "Both sides gave final arguments today at court. There will be a verdict on coming Friday (30th) December." As per the news agency, the source requested anonymity as they were not authorised to speak to the media.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The last five corruption charges that Suu Kyi faces relate to the rental of a helicopter for a government minister, a case in which she had allegedly not followed regulations and caused "a loss to the state". Reports have mentioned that each carries a maximum jail term of 15 years.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Recently, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) urged the military junta to release Suu Kyi. The UN body called for the "immediate release of all arbitrarily detained prisoners," including Suu Kyi and ex-president Win Myint.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It was the UN's first-ever resolution on the ongoing turmoil in the Southeast Asian nation. But in the resolution, permanent members and close junta allies China and Russia abstained.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Nobel laureate has been in prison for almost two years. On February 1, 2021, Myanmar's military began a coup d'état and detained democratically elected members of the country's ruling party, the National League for Democracy (NLD).&nbsp;</p>

<p>The 77-year-old was found guilty on 14 charges ranging from corruption to illegally importing walkie-talkies and breaching the official secrets act. She has been jailed for 26 years.&nbsp;</p>

Myanmar: Aung San Suu Kyi to get final verdicts in junta trial on Friday

<p>A young woman was killed and at least three others were injured in A Christmas Eve shooting at a pub in northwest England, the local police said on Sunday (December 25).&nbsp;</p>

<p>The incident occurred on Saturday at around 11:50pm (local time) at the Lighthouse pub in the town of Wallasey.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Merseyside Police force said that they were probing the shooting as a murder case. So far, there's no confirmation of whether or not the police have detained any suspects.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As quoted by local media outlets, detective superintendent David McCaughrean said, "This investigation is in the very early stages, and we understand that this is a truly shocking and devastating incident that has happened just before Christmas Day in a busy venue full of young people."&nbsp;</p>

<p>As per the statement by the police, the woman died at a hospital "with an injury consistent with a gunshot wound".&nbsp;</p>

<p>McCaughrean also informed that the officers have sought witnesses. They are also scanning cellphone video and closed-circuit television footage to get the details.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He said, "We believe that the gunman left the pub car park in a dark-coloured vehicle, possibly a dark-coloured Mercedes shortly after the shooting, and we are keen to hear from anyone who saw this to contact us immediately."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Chief Constable Serena Kennedy and area's MP Dame Angela Eagle said the incident was "despicable".&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Lighthouse pub said in a statement:&nbsp;"We were completely shocked and the tragedy is beyond words."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Turkish Defence Minister Hulusi Akar said on Saturday&nbsp;that Turkey is in talks with Russia to use the airspace above northern Syria. The talks are for a potential cross-border operation against the Syrian Kurdish YPG militia.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This comes after Turkish President Recep Erdogan said last month that the Turkish military could launch ground operations in northern Syria and Iraq besides the air campaigns. Erdogan also mentioned that nobody should be "disturbed" by the country's military operations in Syria.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Turkey has already carried out three raids there and after a bomb attack in Istanbul, that killed six people and left 81 wounded, Istanbul intensified its attacks last month. Ankara blamed the attacks on the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).</p>

<p>But PKK militant group and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have denied involvement in the bombing of the busy pedestrian avenue.&nbsp;</p>

<p>During his interaction with reporters on Saturday (December 24), Akar said Ankara was in talks with Moscow, which supports Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's forces, about the operation.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He said: "We are in talks and discussing with Russia about all issues including opening the airspace."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Last month, Erdogan said that Syria's military operations aim to expand its circle of security and peace. He had said Turkey's determination to form a 30-kilometre-long security corridor along the southern border with Syria.&nbsp;</p>

<p>China is currently facing a deadly coronavirus (COVID-19) wave, that led to a sharp rise in infections which is believed to have been fuelled after Beijing rapidly eased its zero-Covid strategy last month.&nbsp;The surge in cases in China, where the first known Covid case was reported in late 2019, has resulted in a shortage of medicines. There are also reports of overflowing hospital wards.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Amid chaotic conditions, Chinese authorities are facing a backlash for distributing traditional medicines, such as Lianhua Qingwen (LHQW).&nbsp;</p>

<p>The South China Morning Post reported on Sunday that the Chinese government is stepping up the production and distribution of Lianhua Qingwen in order to curb the spread.&nbsp;</p>

<p>LHQW has been widely used in China, and it reportedly has some advantages in the Covid treatment. But there's no proof.&nbsp;</p>

<p>LHQW is best known for its use in the treatment of influenza. In the practice of TCM, it is said that it has the effects of clearing excessive heat, removing toxins, improving lung ventilation, and discharging heat.&nbsp;</p>

<p>SCMP report mentioned that some Chinese provinces are distributing tens of thousands of boxes to residents. The distribution of half a million boxes of the medicine was approved by a special task force last week in the southwestern province of Yunnan. A million rapid antigen test kits were also distributed.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Chinese government had officially recommended traditional medicine as a treatment when the pandemic had just begun. But people have raised concerns over it as some of the residents asked for modern medicines such as paracetamol.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As quoted by SCMP, one Weibo user said, "Why give us expensive Lianhua Qingwen? What we need is drugs that can lower the temperature, such as ibuprofen and paracetamol."&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Why can Lianhua Qingwen be transported and distributed freely, while the usual fever drugs are not available or distributed," asked another.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Medicines like paracetamol and ibuprofen are currently in short supply in China, the Yunnan government said on Thursday. The authorities also&nbsp;mentioned that they are working to&nbsp;produce medicines.&nbsp;</p>
