<p>A group of climate activists in Italy Saturday staged a protest against fossil fuel consumption by pouring vegetable-based charcoal-black liquid into Rome's famous Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi.

<h2><strong>Significance of the Fiumi Fountain</strong></h2>

<p>The Fiumi Fountain, also known as the Fountain of Four Rivers, was built in 1651 by Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini in Rome's famous Piazza Navona plaza. The fountain features statues depicting the four main rivers of the Earth, one for each continent known at the time: the Danube, the Ganges, the Nile, and the Rio de la Plata. The activists chose this fountain to symbolize the importance of water for human life and how the current climate crisis threatens this equilibrium.</p>

<h2><strong>The Italian govt condemns the protest</strong></h2>

<p>The Italian government condemned the protest, and members of the group were arrested and are now facing accusations of defacing a public monument. Italy’s minister of culture, Gennaro Sangiuliano, slammed the activists' protest, saying those guilty must "pay out of their own pockets."&nbsp;</p>

<p>He said, “As I have explained many times, these are acts against the environment which they claim to want to defend because the notion of landscape includes what beautiful things over centuries of history human genius has produced.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>“Experts talk about the anthropization of the environment. Now again, a lot of water will have to be used to clean up and costs incurred to restore the state of the monument – and (paying for it) will be Italian citizens,” the minister added.</p>

<h2><strong>Second fountain to be defaced in Italy</strong></h2>

<p>The same group had previously staged protests at other Italian historical sites, including the Barcaccia fountain in Rome's centre, which they also poured dark liquid into last month. The group said that it was done to highlight dangers to the water resources due to global warming. "Those in power are wreaking far worse havoc before our eyes. How can we accept that we continue to give money to those responsible for pollution and destructive weather?" the group said in a Tweet.</p>

Top 10 world news: Wagner group to stay in Bakhmut, Arab League embraces Syria again; and more

<p><strong>Turkey elections 2023:</strong> More than five million first-time voters are set to participate in the upcoming elections on May 14th in Turkey, with their turnout expected to have a significant impact on the outcome of the tight race between incumbent President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Kemal Kilicdaroglu, the leader of the Republican People's Party, or CHP.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ozer Sencar, the director of the Turkish polling organisation MetroPoll, reports that 78 per cent of voters in the 18-24 age group have expressed an intention to vote, with half of young voters preferring Kilicdaroglu. Erdogan, on the other hand, is expected to receive about 30 per cent of the vote in this age group. According to experts, young people in Turkey are expressing a growing sense that meritocracy is no longer sufficient to rise up the ranks in public institutions.</p>

<h2><strong>Top rivals try to woo young voters</strong></h2>

<p>Erdogan and Kilicdaroglu have both attempted to appeal to the youth vote in recent years. Teknofest, the country's largest technology event, has been organised by the government and Selcuk Bayraktar, the man behind Turkey's drone programme and Erdogan's son-in-law, with the aim of drawing in young talent from across the country. The event has become an opportunity for the government to demonstrate that it can still generate ideas and events meant to inspire young people in the fields of cutting-edge technology.</p>

<a class="close-mark close-div" href="#" id="jqclosemark">×</a></div>

<p>According to Sencar, Erdogan is trying to appeal to the nationalistic feelings of the new generation with his campaign focused on the defence industry. Technological developments such as the defence industry, Sencar says, are also intended to increase young voters' positive expectations for the future with Erdogan. Meanwhile, Kilicdaroglu has sought to appeal to young people's sense of freedom.</p>

<p>On the campaign trail, the opposition presidential candidate makes heart emojis with his hands and tells young people they can criticise him as much as they want without fear.</p>

<h2><strong>Why Turkey's elections are important for the world?</strong></h2>

<p>Home to 85 million people, Turkey wields significant power on the world stage. It is a NATO member having strong defence ties with Russia, and for which it has been at loggerheads with the American administrations. Turkey is also sitting over Sweden’s application to join NATO over the latter’s alleged support to the Kurdish organisations that Ankara views as terrorists.</p>

<p>Turkey, under Erdogan, has turned hostile towards India and has backed Pakistan’s claims on Kashmir unacceptable to New Delhi.</p>

<p>So, the world, including policymakers in Delhi, would like to see a pragmatic administration take over the reins in Ankara. However, it remains to be seen what card the majority of the Turkish voters have up their sleeves.<br />

Ozer Sencar, the director of the Turkish polling organisation MetroPoll, reports that 78 per cent of voters in the 18-24 age group have expressed an intention to vote, with half of young voters preferring Kilicdaroglu. Erdogan, on the other hand, is expected to receive about 30 per cent of the vote in this age group. According to experts, young people in Turkey are expressing a growing sense that meritocracy is no longer sufficient to rise up the ranks in public institutions. Top rivals try to woo young voters Erdogan and Kilicdaroglu have both attempted to appeal to the youth vote in recent years. Teknofest, the country's largest technology event, has been organised by the government and Selcuk Bayraktar, the man behind Turkey's drone programme and Erdogan's son-in-law, with the aim of drawing in young talent from across the country. The event has become an opportunity for the government to demonstrate that it can still generate ideas and events meant to inspire young people in the fields of cutting-edge technology. Watch: Turkey Elections 2023: How Turkish diaspora will become kingmaker × According to Sencar, Erdogan is trying to appeal to the nationalistic feelings of the new generation with his campaign focused on the defence industry. Technological developments such as the defence industry, Sencar says, are also intended to increase young voters' positive expectations for the future with Erdogan. Meanwhile, Kilicdaroglu has sought to appeal to young people's sense of freedom. On the campaign trail, the opposition presidential candidate makes heart emojis with his hands and tells young people they can criticise him as much as they want without fear. Why Turkey's elections are important for the world? Home to 85 million people, Turkey wields significant power on the world stage. It is a NATO member having strong defence ties with Russia, and for which it has been at loggerheads with the American administrations. Turkey is also sitting over Sweden’s application to join NATO over the latter’s alleged support to the Kurdish organisations that Ankara views as terrorists. Turkey, under Erdogan, has turned hostile towards India and has backed Pakistan’s claims on Kashmir unacceptable to New Delhi.

Turkey elections 2023: More than five million new voters to decide Erdogan's fate next week

<p>Slovakia's Prime Minister Eduard Heger tendered the resignation of his caretaker government on Sunday to President Zuzana Čaputová. "I have asked the president to revoke my mandate," the prime minister was quoted as saying by local media. &nbsp;"I will leave it to the president to try to bring Slovakia to free and democratic elections with an interim government," he added. Heger had been leading the caretaker administration since last December after his four-party coalition government collapsed in a vote of no confidence.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to Bloomberg, Heger’s coalition government lost support in December over the government’s handling of the pandemic, the cost of living crisis and governmental support to families.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Interim government rocked by resignations</strong></h2>

<p>Just like Heger’s coalition government, his interim cabinet also collapsed following a series of resignations by his key ministers. On Friday, the Foreign Minister of Slovakia, Rastislav Káčer, submitted his resignation, following a similar decision by Agriculture Minister Samuel Vlčan the day before.&nbsp;</p>

Slovakia’s caretaker government resigns after PM takes blame for 'chaos' in country

<p>Think about China and images of flashy skyscrapers, wide roads and super-fast trains would crop up in your mind. No disrespect to the phenomenal growth trajectory that the communist nation has achieved over the past two decades, but the truth is that China has always exported a distorted and censored version of its society to the world. This again became evident with recent media reports showing how Chinese authorities are clamping down on videos showing poverty in China on the Chinese internet.</p>

<h2><strong>China bans videos showing ‘sadness’</strong></h2>

<p>According to a report by New York Times, the Cyberspace Administration of China in March announced that it will punish anyone who publishes videos or posts “deliberately manipulate sadness, incite polarization, create harmful information that damages the image of the Party and the government, and disrupts economic and social development.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>In simple terms, showing people facing difficulties, grief and old and disabled children on the Chinese internet effectively became a criminal offence.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Several videos removed from Internet</strong></h2>

<p>Recently, a content creator named Mr Hu interviewed a 78-year-old Chinese widow in the southwestern city of Chengdu. The video showed the woman struggling to buy rice with tears rolling down her cheeks. Guess what happened next?&nbsp;Not only the video was removed from the Internet, but Mr Hu’s account was also permanently banned from the two biggest video platforms in China.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Similarly, a thread on Zhihu, or ‘Chinese Quora’, was censored where people were discussing poverty in China. One Chinese user wrote while discussing the poverty censorship in China, “Because theoretically there are no poor people in China.” Another user wrote, “Because this society only allows you to celebrate prosperity. You have to shoulder all the sufferings yourself and not share them online.”</p>

<h2><strong>Why is China censoring its poor?</strong></h2>

<p>China is censoring its poor simply because it dents the Communist Party of China’s reputation. The CCP prides itself on poverty elimination and cites it to legitimise its rule over the nation. In 2021, CCP’s secretary and China’s President Xi Jinping launched the “Common Prosperity” Programme, which celebrated China’s “comprehensive victory in the battle against poverty.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>So, any such video emerging on the Internet showing poor people in China struggling to make ends meet runs contrary to the hefty claims made by the CCP. That explains why China is punishing those who dare talk to about poverty in China.&nbsp;</p>

<p>King Charles III has been officially crowned the King of the United Kingdom at Westminster Abbey in a ceremony that has been compared to his mother's coronation 70 years ago.

<p>The ceremony at Westminster Abbey was made up of five key stages: the Recognition; the Oath; the Anointing; the Investiture and Crowning; and the Enthronement and Homage.

<p>The Imperial State Crown is also used on ceremonial occasions, such as the State Opening of Parliament.

<p>The two-hour-long ceremony at the Abbey concluded with the chiming of the Abbey bells, and the newly crowned King and Queen made their way to another waiting horse-drawn historic Gold State Coach.

They then appeared on the iconic balcony of Buckingham Palace to wave at gathered crowds and witness a Royal Air Force (RAF) flypast.</p>

King Charles III's reign begins officially following UK's first coronation since 1953

<p><strong>Karnataka elections 2023: </strong>Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath, on Saturday accused the Congress Party of mocking the Hindu faith after it allegedly proposed a ban on Bajrang Dal, a Hindu nationalist organisation. He delivered the speech during a public rally in Chikkamagaluru. “Banning Bajrang Dal means Congress is trying to make a mockery of the Hindu faith. Hindu community will not tolerate and accept it,” the firebrand leader of the ruling Bhartiya Janata Party said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Yogi Adityanath is one of the 40 star campaigners that the BJP has deployed ahead of the assembly elections in Karnataka slated to be held on Wednesday, April 10. The leader also said in his speech that he has come from the land of Ram (Uttar Pradesh) to the land of Hanuman (Karnataka). “The bonding between the two states underlines the fact that they are integrally one and ”materialise” the concept of ‘Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat’ (One India, Prosperous India),” he said.</p>

<h2><strong>Congress retracts on Bajrang Dal ban proposal</strong></h2>

<p>Earlier, the Congress party in its manifesto said that it was committed to taking "firm and decisive action" against individuals and organizations spreading "enmity or hatred, whether among majority or minority communities."&nbsp;</p>

<p>It also mentioned Popular Front of India (PFI), a Muslim group banned by some states for alleged links to terrorism and Bajrang Dal among organisations that it may seek to ban. This prompted a fierce reaction from the BJP, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi who accused the Congress of insulting Hanuman.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, later a senior Congress leader clarified that there was no such proposal under consideration. Veerappa Moily, a former chief minister of Karnataka and a member of parliament, clarified that banning an outfit was not possible for a state government.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He said, “We have mentioned both the PFI and the Bajrang Dal in our manifesto. This includes all (radical) outfits. Banning an outfit is not possible by a state government. The Bajrang Dal cannot be banned by the Karnataka government.”</p>

<h2><strong>Bajrang Dal members vandalise Congress office</strong></h2>

<p>Amidst the controversy over banning Bajrang Dal in Karnataka, some Bajrang Dal members reportedly stormed into a Congress office in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh and vandalised the property. A video of the incident is also making rounds on the internet.&nbsp;</p>
