<p><strong>Fiddler on the Roof actor</strong> Chaim Topol died Thursday as per a statement released by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He died at the age of 87. It wasn't just "Fiddler on the Roof" that stood out for Topol. He was recognised with a Golden Globe in 1965 for his performance in the Israeli comedy "Sallah Shabati" as Best Newcomer – Male.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>What was the cause of Chaim Topol’s death?</strong></h2>

<p>The statements released by Israel’s Prime Minister and President didn’t throw light on the cause of the death of Chaim Topol. However, several media reports showed he was suffering from Alzheimer’s. The actor was diagnosed with the disease several years ago, according to his son Omer, who earlier this week spoke to the Israeli news outlet Ynet.</p>

<h2><strong>Chaim Topol’s career and major achievements</strong></h2>

<p>Topol, who was born on September 9, 1935, in Tel Aviv, was known professionally by his last name. He received numerous accolades for his performances, including two Golden Globes for best actor in a motion picture comedy or musical for "Fiddler on the Roof" in 1972 and most promising newcomer in 1965 for his work as "Sallah Shabati," the titular part.</p>

<p>He was also nominated for an Oscar in 1971 for his portrayal of Tevye the milkman. In "Flash Gordon" (1980) and "For Your Eyes Only," (1981), he also starred opposite Roger Moore's James Bond as Dr Hans Zarkov and Milos Columbo, respectively.</p>

<p>Netanyahu gave Topol the Israel Prize, which is regarded as the nation's most prestigious and greatest cultural prize, eight years ago.</p>

<h2><strong>Chaim Topol's family details</strong></h2>

<p>Chaim Topol is survived by his wife Galia Topol. The couple also had three children after they married in 1956. Jacob Topol, a former plasterer, and Rel Topol, a seamstress, are the parents of Topol. There is no other information on his parents, and it is unknown if he has any siblings.</p>

<h2><strong>Chaim Topol's net worth</strong></h2>

<p>Topol has a reported net worth of $60 million, which he has accumulated through a successful career as an author, illustrator, voice actor, comedian, singer, and actor for stage, screen, and television.</p>

<h2><strong>Israeli PM and President release statements</strong></h2>

<p>Israeli PM Netanyahu said in a statement, “Sadly, the fiddler on the roof is no longer with us. The strings of the fiddle have fallen silent. The story of Haim Topol’s life has been sealed but I am certain that his contribution to Israeli culture will live on for generations.” “He greatly loved the land of Israel, and the people of Israel loved him in return,” he added.</p>

<p>Israeli President Isaac Herzog also paid tributes to the deceased Israeli artist through a statement. Isaac Herzog said, “A gifted actor who conquered many stages in Israel and overseas, filled the cinema screens with his presence and above all entered deep into our hearts.” “Topol was one of the giants of Israeli culture and he will be greatly missed. Condolences to his dear family and all his loved ones,” he stated.</p>

Who was Chaim Topol—the Fiddler on the Roof actor? Here’s the cause of his death, family details and net worth

<p>A new study suggests that the mental health impact of Covid-19 on the general population may not have been as significant as previously thought. Researchers at McGill University in Canada reviewed 137 studies from around the world and found minimal changes in mental health symptoms among most people during the pandemic. However, experts have disputed this, pointing out that the impact on specific groups such as children, women, and people with low incomes or pre-existing mental health problems cannot be overlooked.</p>

<p>The senior author of the study, Brett Thombs, said that some of the public narrative around the mental health impacts of Covid-19 was based on poor-quality studies and anecdotes that became self-fulfilling prophecies. He added that there was a need for more rigorous science in this area. The researchers at McGill found their findings consistent with the largest study on suicide during the pandemic, which found no increase, and applied to most groups, including different ages, sexes, genders, and those with pre-existing conditions.</p>

<p>However, the researchers acknowledged that women had experienced worsening anxiety, depression, or general mental health symptoms during the pandemic, possibly due to juggling more family responsibilities, working in health or social care, or domestic abuse. The team also noted that depression symptoms had worsened by “minimal to small amounts” for older adults, university students, people who self-identified as belonging to a sexual or gender minority group, and parents.</p>

<p>The study's authors concluded that governments and health agencies need to produce better quality and more timely mental health data to better target resources and that governments should continue to properly fund services, especially for the groups worst affected by the pandemic. However, other research has suggested that the mental health impact of the pandemic has been much more severe.</p>

<p>Commenting on the study, Gemma Knowles from the Centre for Society and Mental Health at King’s College London said that the findings echoed other research showing that some people’s mental health improved and others’ deteriorated during the pandemic, which could mean no overall increase. She added that the study risks obscuring important effects among the most affected and disadvantaged groups and, from that, obscuring possible widening of inequalities in mental distress that occurred because of the pandemic.</p>

COVID-19 pandemic had minimal impact on mental health: Study

<p>Retired Lt-Gen Faiz Hamid, who once used to call the shots in Pakistan’s top intelligence agency Inter-Services Intelligence, is now facing an investigation for alleged corruption. Pakistan’s Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah revealed Wednesday the ex-ISI boss was accused of accumulating assets beyond means. Going a step further, top Pakistan Muslim League (N) leader Maryam Nawaz Sharif also called for the court martial of the ex-ISI chief.</p>

<h2><strong>Maryam Nawaz Sharif takes on the ex-ISI boss</strong></h2>

<p>Maryam Nawaz Sharif earlier in an interview demanded action against Faiz Hamid for his alleged role in getting Maryam Nawaz and her father Nawaz Sharif framed for corruption back in 2017. She told a media outlet, “I had spoken against Gen Hamid in court when he was the sitting ISI chief for his alleged involvement in getting me and Nawaz Sharif punished. I had evidence against him.”</p>

<h2><strong>What did Faiz Hamid say in his defence?</strong></h2>

<p>Faiz Hamid reportedly approached journalist Kamran Khan and tendered a formal response to the allegations being levelled by PML(N) leaders, especially Maryam, against him. Kamran Khan quoted the ex-ISI chief as saying that it was the then-army chief Qamar Javed Bajwa who used to call the shots in the army.</p>

<p>Retd. Gen. Hamid stated that he was just a major general in the army in 2017–18 and questioned whether, in accordance with military law, a single officer could overthrow the government.</p>

<h2><strong>Pakistan government’s response to Maryam Nawaz’s demands</strong></h2>

<p>Even though Maryam Nawaz’s party PMLN is in power today in Pakistan, the government is seemingly reluctant to give in to her demands. Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah clarified that while politicians were free to express their viewpoint and make demands, it was not for the government to seal the fate of Faiz Hamid. He explained that the court martial of a former military official didn’t fall under the jurisdiction of the civilian government, and it was a matter for GHQ to decide.</p>

<h2><strong>Who is Faiz Hamid? A look at his career in the Pak military</strong></h2>

<p>Faiz began his career in the military as a commissioned officer in the Baloch Regiment. He then served in various important positions throughout his career, including Adjutant General at the GHQ in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. Faiz was also appointed as the head of the ISI's Counter Intelligence Wing, a position he held for over two years from January 2017 to April 2019.</p>

<p>In addition to these roles, Faiz also served as the General Officer Commanding of 16 infantry divisions at Pano Akil Cantonment for almost two years, from June 2015 to January 2017. Later, he was appointed as the Director-General of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) from June 2019 until 6th October 2021. Faiz also served as the Corp Commander in Peshawar and Bahawalpur until his retirement.</p>

Gen. Hamid stated that he was just a major general in the army in 2017–18 and questioned whether, in accordance with military law, a single officer could overthrow the government. Pakistan government’s response to Maryam Nawaz’s demands Even though Maryam Nawaz’s party PMLN is in power today in Pakistan, the government is seemingly reluctant to give in to her demands. Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah clarified that while politicians were free to express their viewpoint and make demands, it was not for the government to seal the fate of Faiz Hamid. He explained that the court martial of a former military official didn’t fall under the jurisdiction of the civilian government, and it was a matter for GHQ to decide. Who is Faiz Hamid? A look at his career in the Pak military Faiz began his career in the military as a commissioned officer in the Baloch Regiment. He then served in various important positions throughout his career, including Adjutant General at the GHQ in Rawalpindi, Pakistan.

<p>If you are living off Florida’s coasts, you must avoid chilling out at the beaches in the coming days. Red tide is the reason why people in Florida should remain extra cautious to keep themselves from falling sick. But what’s red tide? Well, it is caused by a deadly and toxic algae species called Karenia brevis. When these organisms multiply in large numbers, they can form blooms, causing the water to turn reddish-brown. The algae produce brevetoxins in abundance, which is deadly for aquatic life and can also make humans sick.</p>

<h2><strong>How can humans keep clear of deadly algae?</strong></h2>

<p>As stated above, brevetoxins are deadly for marine animals. Red tide was responsible for killing 2000 tonnes of marine life between 2017 and 2018. It must be noted that brevetoxins have also become airborne, making it easier to reach humans even if they avoid physical contact with the red tide.&nbsp;</p>

<p>People should avoid eating seafood, especially shellfish in the coming days. Neurotoxic Shellfish Poisoning, which can cause gastrointestinal issues, tingling in the mouth, the reversal of hot and cold sensations, and other symptoms, can also be contracted by consuming shellfish contaminated with brevetoxins.</p>

<p>According to Florida's Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, swimming in or near red tide waters can cause skin irritation, rashes, burning, and irritated eyes. Beaches containing harmful algae should be avoided by those who have asthma or lung conditions.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Dead fishes appear on Florida’s shores</strong></h2>

<p>Red tide is deadly for marine life. Every year, it causes thousands of fish and marine animals to die. &nbsp;Many counties in Southwest Florida have recently been found to have higher-than-normal concentrations of the deadly bacterium that turns the waters red, according to state officials. The algae were first discovered in February this year.</p>

<p>Since it came back, graphic images of dead fish washing up on Florida beaches have been widely available, and federal authorities are alerting the public to the danger of respiratory discomfort from polluted air.</p>

<h2><strong>How to know if you are affected by red tide?</strong></h2>

<p>A toxin called brevetoxin that is produced by red tides can make people sick if they breathe it in through sea spray or get drenched with contaminated water.<br />
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the condition can cause a variety of symptoms, including:</p>

<ol>
	<li>Sneeze and coughing</li>
	<li>Breathing difficulty</li>
	<li>Throat, skin, and eye irritation</li>
	<li>Asthma flare-ups</li>
</ol>

<h2><strong>How long will red tide last in Florida?</strong></h2>

<p>Red tides occur frequently in nature. Since the 1800s, they have been spotted in the Gulf of Mexico. As Florida experiences cold fronts in the fall and winter, they can accumulate close to the coast and grow well offshore in the Gulf. Although red tide typically disappears by spring, the infection has persisted for some years.</p>

<p><strong>Canada Supreme Court Justice Russell Brown</strong> is on leave from the top court after a complaint was lodged against him. As per the latest media reports, the Judicial Council is now reviewing the complaint about the alleged conduct of the Supreme Court Justice. The complaint was filed on January 29 and was immediately transferred to the Chief Justice of British Columbia (BC) Supreme Court and chairperson of the Judicial Conduct Committee Christopher Hinkson. On January 31, Chief Justice of Canada Richard Wagner was also informed about the complaint against Russell Brown.</p>

<h2><strong>What is the complaint against Russell Brown?</strong></h2>

<p>As per media sources, Russell Brown was immediately put on leave by Richard Wagner after the two people discussed the case on February 1st. It gives the impression that the gravity of the situation is serious. The court maintained silence over the matter until the absence of Russell Brown from the judicial panel was noticed by the legal media outlet Law360 Canada.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Late last month, a spokesperson for the Supreme Court, Stéphanie Bachand, first broke the silence over the matter. Bachand said that the court was treating the matter as a confidential case. She said, “Unfortunately, at this time we cannot disclose why Justice Brown is currently on leave, to respect confidentiality." She added, "There has been no statement by the court for this same reason."<br />
Another statement by Judicial Council added that it will not comment on the ongoing investigation into the complaint filed against Russell Brown.</p>

<h2><strong>Questions raised over functions of the Supreme Court</strong></h2>

<p>Meanwhile, questions are being raised about whether the Supreme Court can function without the presence of Russell Brown. According to Bachand's remarks from last week, the Supreme Court Statute allows for a bench size of five to nine justices. She said, "The chief justice has made all necessary arrangements for the court to continue its work in Justice Brown's absence, including hearing all appeals, rendering judgment on the appeals currently under reserve, and deciding applications for leave to appeal."</p>

<h2><strong>What are the functions of the Canadian Judicial Council?</strong></h2>

<p>Under the leadership of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, the Canadian Judicial Council was established in 1971 with the goals of conducting investigations into unlawful behaviour and upholding the norms of the profession.</p>

<h2><strong>When can we expect the Supreme Court to release more information?</strong></h2>

<p>The Supreme Court stated that Hinkson, in the capacity as chairperson, is responsible for deciding when and what details on conduct issues must be revealed. He must consider and strike a balance between a number of values, including transparency, the public interest, judicial independence, and the right to privacy, as per the statement.</p>

<p>In its statement, the Supreme Court stated that steps had been taken to ensure the court could "continue its work seamlessly," including seeing to it that appeals are heard, reserved judgements are issued, and petitions for leave to appeal are decided.</p>
