A proposed broadcast bill in India could cover accounts and users on social media platforms that put news and current affairs content online on YouTube, WhatsApp or Telegram channels.

A proposed broadcast bill in India could cover accounts and users on social media platforms that put news and current affairs content online on YouTube, WhatsApp or Telegram channels. The Broadcasting Services (Regulation) Bill 2023 also seeks to regulate streaming platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+Hotstar, and other broadcasting services or OTT platforms. The bill will treat anybody broadcasting news and current affairs as OTT broadcasters who will be liable to attract the same obligations, Hindustan Times reported. Streaming platforms and online news organisations, which fell under the category of publishers, will now come under the category of broadcasters. Clause 20 of the new bill says, "Any person who broadcasts news and current affairs programmes through an online paper, news portal, website, social media intermediary, or other similar medium but excluding publishers of newspapers and replica e-papers of such newspapers, as part of a systematic business, professional, or commercial activity shall adhere to the Programme Code and Advertisement code referred to in Section 19." ALSO READ | India weather: Delhi air quality falls to 'severe' category after slightly improving; rains may bring relief Although the meaning of an OTT broadcasting service excludes social media intermediaries and their users, experts cited in the report said clause 20 includes them if they broadcast news and current affairs programmes using these platforms. It implies that independent journalists with YouTube channels and Instagram accounts, where they post news for professional reasons, will have the same obligations as an OTT broadcaster, said the report. Furthermore, citizen journalists will also attract the same obligations if they post news content as "a systematic business, professional or commercial activity," the report said. However, the bill does not cover a person occasionally posting public interest content or streaming a riot live. But there's less clarity about whether the Twitter account of a journalist featuring tweets about the news could attract the obligations of an OTT broadcaster. "You could get included, but that will be determined by how they notify the threshold for OTT platforms and if they will have a lower one for journalists," the report quoted Gowree Gokhale, partner at Nishith Desai Associates, as saying. While financial influencers could attract the obligations of an OTT broadcaster, newspapers and their e-replicas would be exempted. Although YouTube will not comply with the act as it is a social media intermediary, the paid version of YouTube, YouTube Premium, will qualify as an OTT broadcasting service. Under this bill, even the prime minister's WhatsApp channel could attract the same obligations as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, claimed an expert quoted in the report. (With inputs from agencies)

Reporters on the ground have frequently encountered difficulties in completing their everyday jobs and reporting. On one such occasion, a Canadian reporter named Jessica Robb passed out while being broadcast live. Soon after, a flood of comments on social media claimed that the reporter's medical issue was caused by the COVID inoculations she had received. Learn everything there is to know about the vaccination controversy and what CTV has stated since the story started to take an absurd turn with conspiracy ideas.

<h2>What happened to Jessica Robb?&nbsp;</h2>

While doing her routine reporting duties, Canadian reporter Jessica Robb abruptly started to slur and repeat words on the live show while speaking with anchor Nahreman Issa. In the video that quickly became viral online, Jessica Robb can be seen having trouble speaking and running out of words. She may also be seen at one point appearing bewildered and wobbling. The young reporter was almost seen fainting as she lost control. Later, the cameraman switched the broadcast from Robb to Issa reporting from the news studio. While apologizing to the anchor Issa, Jessica said that she was not feeling very well. "I am about to just...," she continued. Issa interrupted and said that they will come back to her and make sure that she is doing okay.

<h2>Social media conspiracy theories&nbsp;</h2>

Following this, a number of Twitter users expressed worry about Jessica Robb's physical condition and made connections to her medical emergency situation with vaccines. Robb's tweets were immediately shielded when she passed out on live air, according to several people online. Recently, the young reporter posted on Twitter that she had received three doses of the Covid vaccination. Some people on social media criticised the channel for attempting to keep the public from learning about her health.

Ever since the Qatar World Cup kicked off on Sunday (November 20), football fans across the globe have been eagerly waiting to see Cristiano Ronaldo on the field. On Thursday evening (November 24), Ronaldo will be in action as Portugal will open their campaign in the 32-nation tournament in the Middle East. Portugal will play Ghana in a Group H encounter. Anything less than a win won't be impressive for the Portuguese line-up as they are placed in a tricky group which also comprises Uruguay and South Korea.&nbsp;

Portugal are coming into the mega event on the back of a disappointing run in Euro 2020, where they bowed out in the Round of 16 with a defeat at the hands of Belgium, and ended their campaign in the UEFA Nations League after a 1-0 loss versus Spain. In the Nations League, they managed three wins, a draw and two defeats. Against their opposition in their Qatar 2022 opener, Portugal have faced them only once before and lost 1-2. The incident took place in the 2014 FIFA WC, hence, Ronaldo &amp; Co. won't be taking Ghana lightly by any means. In addition, the Portugal captain will join arch-rival Lionel Messi in an elite list when he steps on to the field; becoming one of the very few players to have appeared in five separate World Cups.&nbsp;Thus, Portugal will like to start off with a bang in Ronaldo's special encounter. Two heavyweights such as Argentina and Germany have already lost their opening ties, hence, the former Euro champions will be on their toes for a fitting start.

FIFA World Cup 2022 Broadcast TV and OTT-Live Streaming: When and where to watch Portugal vs Ghana?

Ukraine's southern Kherson region, where Moscow has already introduced the ruble and began distributing Russian passports, is now broadcasting Russian television, as said by the Russian army on Tuesday. It said that the Russian armed forces have “reconfigured the last of the seven television towers in the Kherson region to broadcast Russian television channels” for free.

Bordering the Crimea peninsula, which Russia annexed in 2014, the Kherson region was occupied by Russian forces in the days following the Kremlin's offensive in late February. Tuesday, one of the pro-Moscow officials in the region, Kirill Stremousov, said that the territory could join Russia "before the end of the year."

The city in southern Ukraine, which had 300,000 inhabitants before the war, has been virtually cut off from the outside world since it fell into Russian hands. Residents are subjected to "constant checks at numerous checkpoints" with Russians checking "documents, phones and bags".

On a Moscow-organised visit to Kherson earlier this month, there were only a few soldiers in the centre, but many checkpoints on the outskirts, as reported by AFP. &nbsp;But he said, unlike in other towns and cities in the south, such as the port of Berdyansk, few Russian flags were flying.&nbsp;

Tetyana said some residents had painted Ukrainian flags in the streets or hung blue and yellow ribbons on tree branches in protest. &nbsp;Russian forces were also struggling to enforce the use of the Russian ruble in Kherson, with people insisting on "paying in (Ukrainian) hryvnia".&nbsp;

Since the takeover, residents of Kherson and other occupied areas say food prices have skyrocketed. After severe shortages of medicine in the region, some critical drugs were once again available but hard to get hold of, she said.

Not everyone in Kherson has given up hope that the Ukrainian army will eventually liberate the town.&nbsp;

Russian television starts broadcast in Ukraine’s Kherson

Private FM channels will be allowed to broadcast All India Radio news in English and Hindi after the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting Tuesday launched the facility.

The FM channels will have to carry the AIR news in an unaltered format and the service will be available free of cost on a trial basis till May 31 this year.

As per the terms and conditions, during the trial period, private FM broadcasters may avoid broadcasting in disturbed or border and Naxalism-affected areas.

Information and Broadcasting minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore said the move empowers citizens.

“This empowers me as a citizen. What else does a democracy need? We should be able to make our citizens aware and empowered. This was approved much before and I would like to congratulate the Information and Broadcasting Ministry officials for the nudge,” he said.

He said the All India Radio and the Prasar Bharati were in discussion on costs.

“Our priority is awareness among citizens and secondary is revenue generation. We have made it available free of cost so that there are no further delays,” he added.

He said now that people will be listening to announcers from the All India Radio on different FM channels, it is also an occasion for the Prasar Bharati and the All India Radio to step up.

Through a televised message, Prasar Bharati chairman A Surya Prakash termed the initiative significant in this era of collaboration and convergence.

Anuradha Prasad, president, Association of Radio Operators of India, thanked the government for accepting the long-standing demand of private radio broadcasters to present news on their platform.

Private FM radio broadcasters would be permitted to broadcast AIR news bulletins in English and Hindi as per the list of bulletins given in news schedule, subject to certain terms and conditions.

Any private FM broadcaster which intends to broadcast the news bulletins will first have to register with the News Services Division: All India Radio on its website.

The commercials which are broadcast during news bulletins shall also have to be carried along with the news in toto.

Private FM channels to be permitted to broadcast AIR news

Democrats demanding action on gun control turned to Twitter&#39;s Periscope and Facebook&#39;s live video platform to broadcast their &quot;sit-in&quot; on the floor of the US House of Representatives on Wednesday after the chamber&#39;s cameras shut down. 
 
Representative Scott Peters of California told Reuters he downloaded the online video platform Periscope from the House floor after it became clear that chamber cameras were not operating. 
 
The protest was the latest move by Democrats to persuade the Republican majority in Congress to take up votes on gun control measures in response to last week&#39;s mass shooting in Orlando, Florida, the deadliest in modern US history. 
 
In video streamed on Facebook Live by Congressman Beto O&#39;Rourke, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi can be seen speaking into a microphone that was turned off. She could be heard asking the House Speaker to turn the microphones back on. 
 
At about noon EDT (1600 GMT), presiding House officer and Republican Representative Ted Poe declared the House not in order, as Democratic protesters sat at the front of the chamber. 
 
Cable news channel C-SPAN, which typically uses the House cameras to broadcast live footage of Congress, broadcast Peters&#39; Periscope feed instead. 
 
The hashtag #NoBillNoBreak became a rallying cry for gun control supporters on Twitter and quickly became the top-trending hashtag in the United States on the social media platform. 
 
Politicians and average social media users alike used the hashtag as a sign of solidarity with the sit-in.&nbsp;
