The United States has expressed concern about increased military operations in parts of Myanmar, including Chin state, where it said more than 100 homes and churches had been destroyed in the offensive.

Myanmar has been in turmoil since a Februrary&nbsp;1 coup and the United Nations and local media have recently reported a buildup of heavy weapons and troops, suggesting an imminent attack by the ruling military.

"We are also deeply concerned over the Burmese security forces’ intensification of military operations in various parts of the country," the US&nbsp;State Department said on Sunday.

It accused security forces of gross human rights violations which it said laid bare the regime's disregard for peoples'&nbsp;lives and welfare.

Witnesses, aid groups and local media have reported burning down of houses and an exodus of people from Thantlang town in Chin state.

Salai, a member of a local anti-junta militia, said the army fired artillery into the town on October&nbsp;29, starting off a fire in some houses.

Soldiers then set fire to houses, Salai said, adding he could see from a hill overlooking the town.

"We saw the smoke and we knew that some of our homes were on fire. There was nothing that we could do about it, just to watch the burning," he told Reuters.

Drone footage the next day showed 164 houses and two churches were destroyed, he said. Reuters has not viewed the footage.

A spokesperson for the junta did not respond to a phone call for comment. The army has called the militias "terrorists" intent on destroying the country.

Since the coup, thousands of people have fled Chin state into neighbouring India.

A local elder in Thantlang, who manages camps of displaced people, said only one family was left in the town.

"The home is where our heart is. People here worry that the rest of the homes will be burned down by them. This is our biggest worry."

News portal DVB quoted Thantlang politician Salai Dokhar as saying blazes were ongoing and 270 homes had been torched.

Barcelona Manager <a href="https://www.wionews.com/.../vidals-lawsuit-against-barca-wont-affect-status- in-team-says-valverde-272090">Ernesto Valverde</a> raised his concerns over the newly revised form of Spanish Super Cup.&nbsp;

"It's been changed and let's see, it will be judged once it has happened. It's interesting, with four good teams, but from a sporting point of view, I'm not sure," said Ernesto Valverde during the news conference held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.&nbsp;

Previously the Super Cup was held between the La Liga winners and the Copa del Ray winners, but last year the Spanish football federation&nbsp;agreed to double the number of teams (top two teams of La Liga and Copa del Ray) and take the competition outside Spain permanently as well as moving the playing months from August to January.

In 2018, the Super Cup was held as a one-off game in Tangier, Morocco. Barcelona had one this fixture and won the Super Cup

Ernesto Valverde went on to say "I know there has been a lot said about this competition but the bottom line is football has become a business and as a business, it looks for income."&nbsp;

“The reason why we are here and why we were in Morocco is because the authorities are looking for more sources of income,” added Valverde.&nbsp;

This move faced heavy criticism from the traditional fan bases for scheduling the matches out of Spain. Relocating the matches in Saudi also is criticised as Saudi Arabia has been poor in terms of Human Rights.&nbsp;

A controversial three-year contract worth 120 million euros was struck between the Spanish Football Federation&nbsp;and Saudi Arabia, the deal was only signed after Saudi Arabia agreed that women would be able to attend the games.

The clubs will also benefit financially. For participating alone, Real Madrid and Barcelona will earn around 6 million euros while Atletico and Valencia will make around 3 million euros.

A retired inspector general of the CRPF was denied entry into Canada with airport authorities saying he served in an organisation that allegedly engaged in &quot;terrorism&quot; and &quot;gross human rights violations&quot;, prompting a strong reaction from India.

T S Dhillon landed in Canada with his wife on May 18 and was put on the return flight to India on May 20.

His wife was, however, allowed to proceed to her destination in Canada.

&quot;I landed with my wife in Canada on May 18 as I had a family event to attend. But the Canadian border agency at the airport did not allow me to enter the country.

&quot;I told them that I am a retired senior officer of the Indian police, the CRPF. But, they did not heed to my statements and instead talked to me very rudely and in an unpleasant manner. They told me that my force had indulged in human rights violations,&quot; Dhillon told PTI.

External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Gopal Baglay termed the characterisation of a reputed force like the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) as &quot;completely unacceptable&quot;.

&quot;We have seen the news report regarding denial of entry by Canadian authorities to a senior retired Indian Police Officer. Such a characterisation of a reputed force like the CRPF is completely unacceptable. We have taken up the matter with the Government of Canada,&quot; Baglay said.

He was a &quot;prescribed senior official in the service of a government that, in the opinion of the Minister, engages or has engaged in terrorism, systematic or gross human rights violations, or genocide, a war crime or a crime against humanity&quot;, a document given to Dhillon at the airport read.

In a statement, High Commissioner of Canada Nadir Patel said the language in the document &quot;does not reflect the government of Canada&#39;s policy toward India or any particular organisation, including the Central Reserve Police Force of India. The Central Reserve Police Force plays an important role in upholding law and order in India&quot;.

Regretting any &quot;inconvenience that may have been experienced by this individual and their family&quot;, he said, from time to time, with such a large number of applications, oversights on visa applications can happen.

&quot;In situations where established procedures may not have been followed, a review takes place to avoid any reoccurrence,&quot; he said. 
According to Patel, Canada continues to welcome record numbers of Indian nationals for study, tourism, business, and visiting friends and family.

&quot;Over the past year, over 300,000 Indian nationals have applied to visit Canada,&quot; he said.

He also said Canada values its relationship with India, based on shared values of democracy, pluralism, human rights and rule of law. 
Patel said Canada&#39;s privacy laws prevent him from commenting further.

Dhillon retired from the Central Reserve Police Force as an Inspector General (IG) in 2010.

He was a national level shooter and instrumental in setting up infrastructure for the shooting discipline during the 2010 Commonwealth Games held in the national capital.

Dhillon said he had a valid visa for Canada till 2024 but despite that he was not allowed to enter the country.

&quot;I was finally put on a plane back to India on May 20. I feel bad that the Canadian authorities, at the lower levels, are trying to antagonise a uniformed force of India and the men and women who have given their blood and sweat for the security of the country. 
&quot;The authorities should apologise,&quot; he said.

The officer said while his wife was allowed to enter Canada, he had to leave with a heavy heart, from a country he has visited many times in the last 30 years.

Ties between India and Canada are witnessing a strain in the recent past.

Earlier this month, India had indicated that it had raised with Canada the presence of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at a recent event in Toronto where two legislators, who had authored a motion in the Ontario Assembly calling the 1984 anti-Sikh riots as &quot;genocide&quot;, were felicitated.

Canada denies entry to retired cop, says CRPF indulged in rights violations

There is nothing positive in war. War is a bad story. It is a violent disruptive element which invades and destroys hundreds of thousands of lives. It can, unfortunately, become a necessary action, like the current war agains the Islamic State. This does not make it more positive though.

Then why do we cover war? Why cover something which seems to be singularly bad? The answer is one we already have;&nbsp;as a journalist,&nbsp;it is my responsibility, to report to the world the death, suffering, vendettas, fallen heroes, criminals, human rights violations, tears and blood.&nbsp;

As a community of journalists deployed on the front lines of the world, we must ask ourselves tough questions about the purpose of our job and strive to provide answers. Personally, one thing is clear to me, war reporting should not be a matter of adventure and personal narrative, even though, unfortunately, some colleagues follow this road. I will, tirelessly, repeat that we are not the story. We are not the story.&nbsp;

There is nothing cool about being on the front line, witnessing people die. At least, not if you are mentally healthy.&nbsp;

Documenting war should help a community of readers to understand what led to it, what happens during a war and what happens after. It should also help all of us to stay human, to not forget what is the true meaning of war: a human-made event which creates victims, even when they are not dead.

After two consecutive months spent between Iraq and Kurdistan, following different steps of the offensive to reconquer Mosul, the last stronghold of the Islamic State in Iraq, I take the liberty to express my view on why every newsroom should have &mdash; and take care of &mdash; a conflict reporter.

Refugees are the first reason that we, the war reporters, should never put our pen down.&nbsp;

According to the United Nations High Commission on Refugees (UNHCR) there are 65.3 million forcibly displaced people in the world. It means conflict and persecution are forcing 34,000 people a day to flee their homes.

My chest trembles when I think about the condition of refugees in the camps we visit - where under the pressure of deadlines we often spend, at most, a day.&nbsp;

I try to imagine - what if it happened to me? What if I had to run away from everything I have because I know that,&nbsp; if I don&rsquo;t, I die.&nbsp;

I try to imagine what I would have&nbsp;done before fleeing: I see myself looking around. My house is part of my personal story, my books, my pictures, the presents my friends gave me for my birthdays.&nbsp;

What would I take with me? How would I select which memories are worth accompanying me into a future I know, for a fact, to be uncertain and dangerous? Maybe I wouldn&rsquo;t take anything or, maybe, I would take as much as possible. I don&rsquo;t know. What I know is that, at least for me, nothing would be significant enough to keep me attached to the life I am forced to abandon.

Maybe I would not leave, I would not be strong enough. Sitting in that very living room, I would think about the future: hunger, thirst, refugee camps, checkpoints, long waiting lines, refusals.&nbsp;

But then, I will not always be alone, solidarity is strength. Many people will help me, will try to ensure the minimum level of dignity for me, but still, my life would be stuck in a limbo between what I will perceive as an ideal past, a difficult present and an uncertain future.

To save my life, I run away but what if I die running? Or get&nbsp;torn apart by a bomb while hiding at the bottom of a truck as I try to cross borders. I may drown too in those rickety boats that are braving the dangerous seas.

Even the deadly situation does not stop the questions from coming.&nbsp;If I leave, when will I come back? Will I ever come back? Will I find my house where I left it? Will someone else be living in my house-someone who was displaced, like me?&nbsp;

The more I think, the less I know.&nbsp;

My mind shifts to those intolerant movements in the rich and peaceful western countries who are taking to the streets against refugees reaching their &mdash; in fact ours &mdash; borders asking for dignity. I think about the small town of Gorino, in Italy, my own country, where people blocked with barricades a group of women, coming from Nigeria, New Guinea and Ivory Coast who were meant to be hosted in the city&rsquo;s hostel. Among them there was a pregnant woman.&nbsp;

In this barbarian behaviour, I find the other answer (along with refugees) as to why we need to cover wars. We must cover war to show and explain what happened to the people camping and suffering on European borders. To explain why these humans reach our boundaries and why we have no other option than using all our energies to find a political and stable solution to guarantee them safety and dignity, the same we are all enjoying and, often, take for granted.

I will sign off here with the story of the barber whose shop I frequented to get a shave before appearing in front of the cameras. The barber of Qaraqosh is what I called him as he owned two barber shops in Qaraqosh, a Christian town east to Mosul. He was a common man running a common shop and living a common life with little interest in politics. In one night, war just fell on his head, abruptly ripping apart whatever he had. And now, he is one of the 3.1 millions internally displaced people in Iraq. Fortunately, he found a job and earns a living, but this means nothing if he was forced into it, against his will. &nbsp;In becoming a refugee, he has saved his life but lost his universe.&nbsp;

Every single refugee shares similar stories, often even worse. Tens of millions of voices which, without journalist reporting from conflict areas, risk &nbsp;remain unheard.&nbsp;
