NEW DELHI - Indiarsquos agri-culture minister said on Thurs-day the government was ready to consider further changes to divi-sive reforms that have triggered the biggest protests by farmers in years
Narendra Singh Tomar urged farmersrsquo leaders to come in for another round of talks to end the impasse over new agricultural legislation the government says was meant to overhaul antiquat-ed procurement procedures and open up the market
Huge crowds have been out on the streets around Delhi since November demanding the gov-ernment repeal the laws that they say will eventually dismantle In-diarsquos regulated markets and leave them at the mercy of private buyers
Protest leaders have threatened to intensify their demonstrations from Saturday by blocking na-tional highways and by boycot-ting public events held by lead-ers of Prime Minister Narendra Modirsquos ruling party
ldquoThe government is ready to consider any additional objec-tions of the farmers if they have anyrdquo the minister told reporters
The ultimate aim of the legis-
lation he said was to increase farmersrsquo income ldquoThrough these laws the government has eased restrictions on private investment in the agricultural sectorrdquo Tomar said
The current system of procure-ment where the state set prices would continue he added
Farmers on Wednesday reject-ed earlier compromises from the
government including a promise that private market places could be taxed by the state governments at the same rate as state markets
Modirsquos reforms voted through in parliament in September with little debate have particularly an-gered politically infl uential farm-ers groups in the crop-growing states of Punjab and Haryana
Small farmers fear that once
big corporate players enter the market they will lose govern-ment guarantees on prices
ldquoThere is no mention of pro-viding legal assurance for the minimum support price for the procurement of cropsrdquo Yogen-dra Yadav an opposition leader who is taking part in the protests told Mirror Now TV channel on Thursday

PUNE - India the worldrsquos biggest vaccine maker is get-ting set for the massive global blitz to contain the coronavirus pandemic with its pharmaceuti-cal industry and partners free-ing up capacity and accelerating investments even without fi rm purchase orders
India manufactures more than 60 of all vaccines sold
across the globe and while its $40 billion pharmaceutical sec-tor is not yet involved in the production of the expensive Pfi zer Inc and Moderna shots the nation will play a pivotal role in immunizing much of the world
Indian companies are set to produce eight more aff ordable vaccines designed to fi ght CO-VID-19 including AstraZene-carsquos Covishield called the ldquovac-cine for the world hererdquo by its
developersldquoThere are many vaccines
being produced in countries around the world but therersquos only one nation that has the manufacturing capacity to pro-duce suffi cient quantities to sat-isfy the demands of citizens in every country and thatrsquos Indiardquo said Australiarsquos ambassador to India Barry OrsquoFarrell after touring vaccine manufacturing sites in India with many other diplomats
Serum Institute of India (SII) the worldrsquos biggest vaccine maker has already stockpiled more than 50 million doses of the AstraZeneca shot even as it awaits emergency-use approv-als from both British and Indian authorities
SII plans to make a total of 400 million doses of Cov-ishield by July and is setting up new production lines to roll out roughly one billion shots a year

LONDON - An Indian school-teacher has been awarded the 2020 Global Teacher Prize -- and has vowed to give half of the $1 million prize money to the runners-up
The award which is run by the Varkey Foundation in partner-ship with UNESCO celebrates ldquoexceptionalrdquo teachers who have made an outstanding contribution to their profession
Ranjitsinh Disale a teacher at Zilla Parishad Primary School in the village of Paritewadi in
the western Indian state of Ma-harashtra was chosen as winner from more than 12000 nomina-tions and applications from over 140 countries around the world
The award recognized his ef-forts to promote girlsrsquo education at the school whose pupils are mostly from tribal communities
The Global Teacher Prize said he learned the local language of the village in order to translate class textbooks into his pupilsrsquo mother tongue
He also created unique QR
codes on the textbooks to give students access to audio poems video lectures stories and assign-ments greatly improving school attendance His QR technology is now being rolled out more widely across India
The British actor and TV host Stephen Fry announced Disale as the winner at a virtual ceremony broadcast from the Natural His-
tory Museum in London last Thursday
Rather than keeping all his winnings Disale told Fry in an interview that he would share the prize with the other nine finalists giving them $55000 each -- the first time anyone has done so in the awardrsquos six-year history
The pandemic reimagined sub-Saharan education but access to
digital is urgently neededHe told Fry ldquoI believe that if I
share this prize money with nine teachers it means I can scale up their work Their incredible work is still worthy If I share the prize money with the rest of the teachers they will get a chance to continue their work and we can reach out and lighten the lives of as many students as we canrdquo

Victims of Bhopal gas tragedy say pandemic has worsened their plight
BHOPAL - Protesters in the cen-tral Indian city of Bhopal formed a human chain last Thursday to de-mand justice for people suffering cancer blindness respiratory im-mune and neurological problems from the worldrsquos worst industrial disaster 36 years ago
In the early hours of December 3 1984 methyl isocyanate gas leaked from a pesticide factory owned by American Union Car-bide Corporation More than half a million people were poisoned that night and the official death toll exceeded 5000
Thousands of survivors have said they their children and grandchildren are struggling with chronic health problems as a
result of the leak and toxic waste left behind and face hefty medical bills at a time when the pandemic is making their health even more fragile
Dow Chemical which now owns Union Carbide has denied liability saying it bought the com-pany a decade after Union Carbide settled its liabilities to the Indian government in 1989 by paying $470 million
Protesters say the government still underestimates the number of victims and compensation did not go to many who needed it
ldquoStop giving us false prom-ises have some shamerdquo pro-testers shouted as they demanded
financial helpLocal rights group say vic-
tims of the Bhopal gas trag-edy are more vulnerable to the coronavirus than other people
ldquoToday we have official docu-ments to show that the death rate of gas victims due to COVID-19 is 65 times higher than those who were not exposedrdquo said Rachna Dhingra an activist who has worked with survivors of the tragedy
Local media quoted a govern-ment official as saying that out of the 518 coronavirus deaths in the Bhopal district since the beginning of the outbreak 102 were survivors of the gas leak

CHICAGO (AP) - A federal judge struck down two Trump administra-tion rules designed to drastically curtail the number of visas issued each year to skilled foreign workers
The changes applying to the H-1B visa program announced in October include imposing salary requirements on compa-nies employing skilled overseas workers and limits on specialty occupations De-partment of Homeland Security officials deemed it a priority because of corona-virus-related job losses and estimated as many as one-third of those who have ap-plied for H-1Brsquos in recent years would be denied under the new rules
US District Judge Jeffrey White in
California said the government didnrsquot fol-low transparency procedures and its con-tention that the changes were an emergen-cy response to pandemic job losses didnrsquot hold water because the Trump adminis-tration has floated the idea for some time but only published the rules in October
ldquoThe COVID-19 pandemic is an event beyond defendantsrsquo control yet it was within defendantsrsquo control to take action earlier than they didrdquo White wrote
The US issues up to 85000 H-1B vi-sas each year in sectors including tech-nology engineering and medicine Usu-ally theyrsquore issued for three years and renewable Most of the nearly 600000 H-1B visa holders in the US are from India and China
The H-1B rules announced weeks
before the election were part of President Donald Trumprsquos wider agenda to curb nearly all forms of immigration In June he issued an order temporarily suspend-ing the H-1B program until the end of the year
The US Chamber of Commerce and universities including the California In-stitute of Technology sued in California arguing there wasnrsquot adequate notice or time for the public to comment on the changes They also said the rules par-ticularly related to requiring a prevail-ing wage for visa-holders would have a drastic impact on new hires and ldquosever the employment relationship of hundreds of thousands of existing employees in the United Statesrdquo
The University of Utah cited an ex-ample where an H-1B employee seeking renewal was paid an $80000 salary but would have to be paid $208000 under the new rule
The judge agreed that the federal gov-ernment didnrsquot make a case for imple-menting the rules under the Admin-istrative Procedure Act which makes agencies accountable to the public by requiring a detailed process for enacting regulations
ldquoDefendants failed to show there was good cause to dispense with the ratio-

San Jose man sentenced to two years imprisonment for damaging Ciscorsquos networkSAN JOSE - Sudhish Kasaba Ramesh
was sentenced on Wednesday to 24 months in prison and ordered to pay a $15000 fine for intentionally accessing a protected computer without authorization and reck-lessly causing damage announced United States Attorney David L Anderson and Federal Bureau of Investigation Special Agent in Charge Craig D Fair
Ramesh 31 of San Jose pleaded guilty on August 26 2020 to one count of in-tentionally accessing a protected computer without authorization and recklessly caus-ing damage to Cisco Ramesh worked for Cisco but resigned in approximately April 2018 According to the plea agreement Ramesh admitted to intentionally access-ing the Cisco Systems cloud infrastructure that was hosted by Amazon Web Services without Ciscorsquos permission on September 24 2018
Ramesh further admitted that during his unauthorized access he deployed a code from his Google Cloud Project account
that resulted in the deletion of 456 vir-tual machines for Ciscorsquos WebEx Teams application which provides video meet-ings video messaging file sharing and other collaboration tools He admitted that he acted recklessly in deploying the code and consciously disregarded the sub-stantial risk that his conduct would harm Cisco
As a result of Rameshrsquos conduct over 16000 WebEx Teams accounts were shut down for up to two weeks and caused Cis-co to spend approximately $1400000 in employee time to restore the damage to the application and refund over $1000000 to affected customers No customer data was compromised as a result of the defendantrsquos conduct
Ramesh was sentenced to serve a one-year period of supervised release follow-ing the 24 months in prison and to pay a $15000 fine The defendant is out of cus-tody and will begin serving the sentence on February 10 2021
nal and thoughtful discourse that is pro-vided by the APArsquos notice and comment requirementsrdquo White wrote
The rule on wages proposed by the De-partment of Labor took effect in October while the Homeland Security rule on oc-cupations and other issues was supposed to take effect last Monday It also would have placed limits on ldquooffsiterdquo firms that employ and contract out H-1B visa hold-ers to other companies their visas would have been limited to one year at a time
ldquoThis is incredibly important deci-sion to preserve the H-1B programrdquo said attorney Paul Hughes who repre-sented the plaintiffs ldquoThis ruling en-ables those individuals to maintain their jobs and their families in the United Statesrdquo
The Chamber of Commerce said in a statement that the ruling ldquohas many com-panies across various industries breath-ing a huge sigh of reliefrdquo with the visa changes having ldquothe potential to be in-credibly disruptive to the operations of many businessesrdquo
Messages left for spokespeople with the Labor and Homeland Security depart-ments werenrsquot immediately returned
The wage rule has prompted at least two other federal lawsuits in New Jersey and Washington DC

Owner and operator of India-based call centers sentenced to prison for scamming US victims out of millions of dollars
lions of dollars by spearheading a conspiracy whose members boldly impersonated federal government of-ficials and preyed on victimsrsquo fears of adverse government actionrdquo said Act-ing Attorney General Brian C Rabbitt of the Justice Departmentrsquos Criminal Division
ldquoSince 2013 American taxpayers have been subjected to unprecedented attempts to fraudulently obtain money by individ-uals utilizing Indian call centers to imper-sonate IRS employees and scam Ameri-can taxpayersrdquo said J Russell George the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA)
According to admissions in his plea agreement Patel and his co-conspirators perpetrated a complex scheme in which employees from call centers in Ahmed-abad India impersonated officials from the IRS and US Citizenship and Immi-gration Services (USCIS) and engaged in other telephone call scams designed to defraud victims throughout the United States US victims were threatened with arrest imprisonment fines or deportation if they did not pay alleged monies owed to the government Those who fell victim were instructed how to provide payment including by purchasing general purpose reloadable (GPR) cards or wiring money Upon payment the call centers would im-
mediately turn to a network of ldquorunnersrdquo based in the United States to liquidate and launder the fraudulently obtained funds
A co-defendant described Patel as ldquothe top person in India and the boss for whom most of the other defendants workedrdquo and the owner of multiple call centers Another co-defendant stated that Patel was arrested in India in 2016 but then paid a bribe and was released Addi-tionally Patel admitted that a reasonably foreseeable loss of more than $25 million
but less than $65 million was attribut-able to him based on the governmentrsquos evidence against him
Patel was prosecuted in the United States after being extradited from Singa-pore in April 2019 to face charges in this large-scale telefraud and money launder-ing scheme Singapore authorities appre-hended Patel at the request of the United States pursuant to a provisional arrest warrant in September 2018 after Patel flew there from India

WASHINGTON DC - Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Ajit Pai who oversaw the repeal of landmark US net neutrality rules and a series of key spectrum auctions to address growing wireless needs said he plans to leave the commission on Jan 20
Pairsquos departure will come the same day President-elect Joe Biden is sworn into office Under
Pai the FCC voted 3-2 in 2017 to repeal the Obama administra-tionrsquos 2015 net neutrality rules barring internet service providers (ISPs) from blocking or slowing internet content or offering paid ldquofast lanesrdquo
The FCC voted in October to maintain the repeal ldquoIt is pa-tently obvious to all but the most devoted members of the net neu-trality cult that the case against the (net neutrality repeal) was a shamrdquo Pai said in October
FCC chairman Ajit Pai plans to step down Democrats are likely to attempt
to reinstate the 2015 rules when they take control of the FCC and argue they are crucial to main-taining an open internet
Pai who was tapped by Presi-dent Donald Trump to lead the agency in January 2017 had said the FCC needed to take a ldquoweed whackerrdquo to unneeded rules He oversaw the repeal of numerous prior regulations
Trump has pressed the FCC to adopt new rules to limit the legal
protections of social media com-panies like Twitter
Pai said in October his agency would move forward to set new rules to clarify the meaning of a key legal protection for social media companies but took no for-mal action
The Senate Commerce Com-mittee is set to vote on the nomi-nation of Nathan Simington a senior administration official to a seat on the FCC after Trump withdrew the nomination of FCC Commissioner Mike OrsquoRielly for another term after he made statements questioning the FCCrsquos
authority to move ahead with new social media regulations
In October 2017 Pai rejected Trumprsquos tweet the FCC could challenge the license of Comcast Corprsquos NBC over stories Trump asserted were not true
Pai convinced hundreds of internet providers to agree for months not to cancel service for customers impacted by the coronavirus pandemic
Pai also backed the $26 bil-lion tie-up of Sprint Corp and T-Mobile US after the companies agreed to deploy a next genera-tion 5G network

Indian doctors find lead nickel in blood samples after hundreds suffer mystery illness
By Jatindra Dashand Sudarshan Varadhan
BHUBANESWAR - Indian authorities said on Tuesday they found traces of lead and nickel particles in blood samples after hundreds of people were hospi-talised due to an unknown illness in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh
Teams of doctors including those from New Delhirsquos premier All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) are investigat-ing the death of one person and hospitalisation of more than 400 in the past few days
Andhra Pradeshrsquos state govern-ment said on Tuesday the AIIMS
team had found traces of lead and nickel in their samples while a second hospital is also running similar tests
The illness has infected more than 300 children with most of them suffering from dizzi-ness fainting spells headaches and vomiting They have tested negative for COVID-19
High levels of lead in the bloodstream can impair develop-ment of brains nervous systems and vital organs such as heart and lungs
Earlier on Tuesday federal law-maker GVL Narasimha Rao who is from the state said on Twitter that he had spoken with govern-ment medical experts and that the
ldquomost likely cause is poisonous organochlorine substancesrdquo
ldquoIt is one of the possibilitiesrdquo said Geeta Prasadini a public health director in Andhra Pradesh state adding they were awaiting test reports to ascertain the cause
She said no new serious cases have come to light in the past 24 hours A 45-year-old man died over the weekend
Organochlorines here are banned or restricted in many countries after research linked them to cancer and other poten-tial health risks However some of the pollutants remain in the environment for years and build up in animal and human body fat

NEW DELHI - Thousands of Indian farmers angered by farm laws that they say threaten their livelihoods have intensified their protests by blocking highways and camping out on the outskirts of the capital Delhi
The government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and leaders of protesting farmersrsquo unions have held several rounds of talks but have not made any progress in breaking the dead-
lock over the set of laws passed by parliament in September
Although various farmer unions have supported the pro-test the agitation is largely led by the growers of relatively well-off states of Punjab and Haryana in Indiarsquos north
Every year the Indian govern-ment spends billions of dollars on buying millions of tonnes of rice and wheat from Punjab and Haryana and the worldrsquos most expensive food procure-ment program has now become
the centrepiece of Indiarsquos biggest farmersrsquo protest in years
After calculating the cost of cultivation the state-run Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP) an-nounces Minimum Support Prices (MSPs) for more than 22 commodities yearly to set a benchmark
Although every year the CACP announces MSPs for most crops the Food Corporation of India (FCI) the main state-run
grain procurement agency buys only rice and wheat at those pric-es due to a lack of storage and funds
After buying rice and wheat from farmers at MSPs the FCI sells the staples at highly sub-sidised prices to the poor The government compensates the FCI for its losses
Guaranteed prices offered by the FCI encourage farmers to pro-duce large quantities of rice and wheat Higher production puts
pressure on the FCI to buy extra supplies from farmers resulting in overflowing state warehouses and a ballooning subsidy bill that often pushes up the budget deficit
Despite sitting on massive mounds of rice and wheat the FCI finds it challenging to export as the annual rise in MSPs and its own storage costs make FCIrsquos rice and wheat more expen-sive than world prices making overseas sales uneconomic
Indiarsquos multi-billion dollar food program is at the heart of farmersrsquo protests

Farmers protest against the newly passed farm bills at Singhu border near Delhi India on December 4 2020
India formally protests to Canada over Trudeau remarks on farm protests
By Sanjeev Miglani
NEW DELHI - India sum-moned Canadarsquos ambassador last Friday and said comments made by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over protests by farm-ers near Delhi were an interfer-ence in its domestic affairs and would seriously hurt bilateral ties
Trudeau speaking to the In-dian community in Canada said this week that he was concerned about the farmers most of them from the Sikh-dominated state of Punjab camped out on the
outskirts of Delhi in a protest against farm reforms
The Indian foreign ministry said in a statement that com-ments on ldquoissues relating to In-dian farmers constitute an un-acceptable interference in our internal affairsrdquo
India and Canada have warm ties but in recent years there has been concern in India that some Sikh leaders in Canada have ties to separatist groups hostile to India
Canada is home to an influen-tial Sikh community and Indian leaders say there are some fringe
groups there that are still sympa-thetic to the cause of an indepen-dent Sikh state called Khalistan carved out of India
The Indian foreign ministry said comments made by Trudeau and other leaders had embold-ened radical groups and they were a risk to its diplomatic staff based in Canada
ldquoWe expect the Canadian Government to ensure the full-est security of Indian diplomatic personnel and its political lead-ers to refrain from pronounce-ments that legitimize extremist activismrdquo it said

MOVIE REVIEW
Itrsquos been eight months since
the last big Hindi film Angrezi Medium hit screens Once the lockdown kicked in films be-gan to go online even the ones starring A-listers But produc-ers of some small films decided to wait for cinemas to reopen Last month cinemas finally got the go-ahead in most parts of the country while on November 5 the prime state of Maharashtra too gave its nod This prompted Zee Studios to release Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari on Diwali on the big screen The trailer of the film has been impressive and carries a good vibe So does Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari manage to en-tertain and give viewers a good time Or does it falter Letrsquos analyse
Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari is the story of a feud between a wedding detective and a dairy owner The year is 1995 Suraj Singh Dhillon (Diljit Dosanjh) is a single guy from Mumbai and the heir of Jai Mata Rani Doodh Bhandar He lives with his fa-ther Gurnaam Dhillon (Manoj Pahwa) mother Yeshodha Dhil-lon (Seema Pahwa) and sister Guddi (Vanshika Sharma) His parents are looking for a right match but their efforts are futile
Surajs sidekick Sukhi (Manuj Sharma) tells him to be cool and a bad boy and that it would help attract girls Suraj likes the idea and as part of his stint as a cool bad boy he breaks the traf-fic signal and consumes alcohol in front of a girlrsquos college Mean-while his parents find a match for him An excited Suraj goes to the girlrsquos house with his par-ents But the girlrsquos parents refuse their proposal because they had the pictures of Suraj while he was in his bad boy avatar Suraj is dejected and is dying to know who clicked his pictures after all After cajoling the Pandit Dubey ji (Neeraj Sood) he gets to know that itrsquos none other than Madhu Mangal Rane (Manoj Bajpayee) a wedding detective He believes itrsquos his job to find flaws in the to-be grooms and thus save the lives of gullible girls and their families Suraj wants revenge but doesnrsquot know how He then realizes that Mangal has a sis-ter Tulshi Rane (Fatima Sana Shaikh) He decides to fake a relationship with her in order to get back at Mangal However he falls for her in real He expresses his love to Tulshi She however is hiding a shocking secret about her life and passion This secret gives Suraj the much needed op-portunity to damage Mangals reputation At the same time it can also dent his marriage pros-pects with Tulshi What happens next forms the rest of the film
Shokhi Banerjees story is very interesting and entertaining One might feel that the makers revealed almost the whole plot in the trailer But thatrsquos not the case as the film has a lot more to of-fer Rohan Shankars screenplay is entertaining for most parts The various twists and dramatic points are well fleshed out How-ever a few rough edges remain Also the humour quotient is lim-ited Rohan Shankars dialogues are hilarious and a few of them are sure to induce claps
Abhishek Sharmas direction is neat He deserves brownie
points for keeping the mood of the film light from start to finish The film never gets too heavy even in no-nonsense situations Also the film is replete with some very quirky characters and he makes good use of them to add to the fun Moreover the film cel-ebrates the Marathi culture and the middle-class lifestyle of the city It fondly also reminds one of the simple slice-of-life films made by Hrishikesh Mukherjee and Basu Chatterjee On the flip-side some of the portions of the first half arenrsquot upto the mark es-pecially the lsquoBad Boyrsquo sequence A few developments are hard to digest especially the track of the professor deciding not to take any action against his wife despite the latter cheating on him Also the manner in which Madhu plans the breaking off the engagement ceremony of his sister is a bit too much Mangalrsquos change of heart
in the climax also comes across as very unconvincing Thank-fully the Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge [1995] inspired climax makes up for it
Anshuman Mahaleys cin-ematography is first-rate Rajat Poddars production design is authentic and reminds one of the 90s Vijay Gangulys choreogra-phy is appealing in Basanti Jia Bhagia and Mallika Chauhans costumes are realistic for all the characters Fatemarsquos clothes however donrsquot seem to be of 1995 but nevertheless looks glamorous Rameshwar Bhagats editing is fair
On the whole Suraj Pe Man-gal Bhari is a decent entertain-er and a clean family film that works because of its plot the depiction of the mid-90s era and the performances

WASHINGTON - IBM and US offi cials are sounding the alarm over hackers targeting companies critical to the distribu-tion of COVID-19 vaccines
IBM said last Thursday that the campaign was a sign that digital spies are turning their attention to the complex logistical work in-volved in inoculating the worldrsquos population against the novel coronavirus although some out-side experts questioned whether that was the hackersrsquo focus
In a blog post here published last Thursday IBM said it had uncovered ldquoa global phishing campaignrdquo focused on organi-zations associated with the CO-VID-19 vaccine ldquocold chainrdquo - the process needed to keep vaccine doses at extremely cold temperatures as they travel from manufacturers to peoplersquos arms
The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency reposted the report warning here members of Operation Warp Speed - the US governmentrsquos
national vaccine mission - to be on the lookout
Other cybsecurity experts expressed some skepticism however of IBMrsquos fi ndings
Joe Slowik a researcher at on-line threat intelligence fi rm Do-mainTools said he believed IBM had stumbled upon ldquoa subset of activityrdquo that was part of a much wider campaign ldquowhich may not be focused on vaccines or similar activityrdquo
While ldquodefi nitely maliciousrdquo Slowik said he was not convinced it was specifi cally focused on vaccine distribution
Who is behind the espionage is not clear Messages sent to the email addresses used by the hackers were not returned
Understanding how to build a secure cold chain is fundamental to distributing vaccines devel-oped by the likes of Pfi zer Inc and BioNTech because the shots need to be stored at minus 70 de-grees Celsius (-94 F) or below to avoid spoiling
Hackers target groups in COVID-19 vaccine distribution says IBM
IBMrsquos cybersecurity unit said it had detected an advanced group of hackers working to gather in-formation about diff erent aspects of the cold chain using meticu-lously crafted booby-trapped emails sent in the name of an ex-ecutive with Haier Biomedical a Chinese cold chain provider that specializes in vaccine transport
and biological sample storageHaier Medical did not return
messages seeking commentTargets included companies
involved in the manufacture of solar panels which are used to power vaccine refrigerators in warm countries and petrochemi-cal products that could be used to derive dry ice
Amazon eyes potential $100 million investment in Indiarsquos Apollo Pharmacy
BENGALURU - Amazoncom Inc is considering a nearly $100 million investment in In-diarsquos pharmacy chain Apollo Pharmacy facing up to Reliance Industries Ltd and Tata Group in the countryrsquos fast-growing drug market the Economic Times re-ported on Wednesday citing two people aware of the plans
Amazon already delivers med-icines in India and the potential investment would come amid rising competition from Muke-sh Ambanirsquos Reliance which bought a majority stake in online pharmacy Netmeds
Tata Group here meanwhile
was reportedly in talks to pick up a majority stake in e-pharma-cy fi rm 1mg
Both Amazon and Apollo Hospitals which owns Apollo Pharmacy declined to comment
The growth of e-pharmacies however has left many Indian trader groups feeling threatened who say online drugstores can contribute to medicine sales without proper verifi cation and the entry of large players can cause unemployment in the sector
Amazonrsquos plan to further ex-pand in India also comes close on the heels of its launch of an online pharmacy to deliver pre-scription drugs in the United States increasing competi-tion with drug retailers such as Walgreens CVS Health and Walmart

NEW YORK - Indiarsquos econ-omy will return to growth in 202122 after a sharp con-traction in the latest year and higher public spending will lay the foundation for stronger growth in the next four to five years Finance Minister Nirma-la Sitharaman told Reuters last Thursday
With the worldrsquos second high-est number of coronavirus cases despite a severe lockdown of its 13 billion people early in the pandemic Indiarsquos economy is expected to contract nearly 10 in the 202021 financial year
But a recovery is taking hold now Sitharaman told the Reuters Global Investment Outlook Summit 2021
ldquoI would think 2021-22 will be very big good traction year
Indiarsquos economy on the rebound govt focuses on spending Sitharamanfor achieving a really good rate of growth that itself is going to be a launching pad for 4-5 years of growing at a good speed pro-vided we do enough on the bud-get and spend on infrastructurerdquo she said She gave no numbers about how big a government spending increase she planned to propose
Because the Indian govern-ment was concerned about its budget deficit its stimulus to
fight the economic slump during the pandemic was more mod-est than those of other countries such as the United States Japan and the United Kingdom
Sitharaman suggested the government should spend more in the months ahead to boost the growth rate
ldquoI have to be conscious that if I donrsquot spend now then the stim-ulus is meaningless if I donrsquot spend now the revival is going to get deferred and we canrsquot afford thatrdquo
The pace of the recovery would however depend on de-
velopment and adequate sup-ply of coronavirus vaccines economists say
India does not yet have a vac-cine purchase contract with any company but has said it will rely mainly on five being tested in the country including the Oxford-AstraZeneca one and Russiarsquos Sputnik V
Sitharaman said the govern-ment was bulking up the logis-tics including sufficient cold storage facilities to ensure de-livery of the vaccine down to the village councils across the country
RBI holds rates says will ensure ample liquidityMUMBAI - The Reserve Bank
of India (RBI) kept its key interest rates steady as widely expected last Friday amid persistently high inflation but said it will ensure ample liquidity is provided to stressed sectors to keep a nascent economic recovery on track
Its monetary policy committee decided to retain an accommoda-tive policy stance at least for the current financial year and into the next to revive growth on a du-rable basis while ensuring that inflation remains within target Governor Shaktikanta Das said in an online briefing
Das said the economy was re-bounding faster than expected
from a coronavirus-induced slump earlier in the year but warned signs of recovery were far from being broad based CO-VID-19 infections are also con-tinuing to climb with the tally now 957 million people
Das said MPC members voted unanimously to hold rates and re-tain the stance The key lending rate of the RBI or the repo rate was left unchanged at 4 while the reverse repo rate or the key borrowing rate stayed at 335
ldquoThe MPC is of the view that inflation is likely to remain el-evated barring transient relief in the winter months from prices of perishablesrdquo Das said
ldquoThis constrains monetary pol-icy at the current juncture from using the space available to act in support of growthrdquo
Indian stocks extended earlier gains to hit record highs after the decision while the Indian rupee strengthened slightly to 7376 against the dollar The bench-mark 10-year bond yield fell 3 basis points to 590
Das announced measures to help improve access to funding for stressed sectors and said the RBI will take further steps when necessary to ensure ample rupee liquidity to sustain visible growth impulses without impacting inflation

Telemarketing fraudster pleads guiltyPROVIDENCE RI - An Indian
national last week admitted to a federal judge in Providence that he participated in a wide-ranging conspiracy based in India to de-fraud United States citizens pri-marily seniors by telling victims that malware had been detected on their computers and based on that falsehood induced the vic-tims to direct money to him and his co-conspirators as payment for purported computer protection services that were not needed or ever provided
The conspirators in fact did not detect malware on victimsrsquo computers and accepted payment without providing any protection services
Himanshu Asri 33 of Delhi In-dia admitted that he had 325 call-ers routed to call centers in India where call center operators falsely reasserted to victims that malware had been detected on their com-puters and offered the victims purported computer protection services in exchange for payment The purpose of the false assertions was to induce people into routing money to the fraudsters
According to information pre-sented to the court from as far back as January 2015 through January 2020 Asri and others working together collected in
total approximately $940995 from victims through their fraud and attempted to collect between $1500000 and $3000000 The actual loss was less than the in-tended loss because some of those who were targeted by Asri and his coconspirators did not send any funds to the fraudsters
According to information pre-sented to the court the govern-ment and the defendant agree that many of Asrirsquos victims were vulnerable to fraud schemes due to age or infirmity and the parties agree that the scheme pursued by Asri and his coconspirators were structured to exploit such persons specifically persons over the age of 65
Appearing last week before
US District Court Chief Judge John J McConnell Jr Asri pleaded guilty to wire fraud con-spiracy announced United States Attorney Aaron L Weisman and Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Boston Division Joseph R Bonavolonta
Asri the 4th India-based tele-marketing fraudster to be convict-ed in federal court in Rhode Island in the past three months is sched-uled to be sentenced on February 18 2021 Wire fraud conspiracy is punishable by statutory penalties of up to 20 years in prison three years of supervised release and a fine of $250000
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant US Attorney Milind M Shah

ducting surveillance for Patel who was suspected of being in-volved in at least four residen-tial garage door fires that had happened since December 1st
Fremont officers located pri-vate residential camera footage that provided a general descrip-tion of the suspect vehicle De-tectives then matched that foot-age to the Community Camera network which then provided a license plate for the suspect ve-hicle
Detectives were surveilling Patel early Tuesday morning when he led them to the same house he had targeted on Hoyt
Street at approximately 245 am Detectives saw Patel get out of his vehicle and pour a liquid on a parked vehicle
Police detectives tried to con-tact Patel before he could ignite the vehicle but he was able to set the vehicle on fire Authorities were able to arrest the suspect as he ran back to his vehicle and extinguished the car fire with a nearby garden hose

Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine data wins backing of FDA authorization nears
By Manas Mishra Michael Erman and Rebecca Spalding
Pfi zer Inc cleared the next hurdle in the race to get its COVID-19 vaccine ap-proved for emergency use on Tuesday after the US Food and Drug Administra-tion (FDA) released documents that raised no new issues about its safety or effi cacy
Pfi zer and German partner BioNTech SE said last month their coronavirus vac-cinersquos two-dose regimen was 95 eff ec-tive against COVID-19 and had no ma-jor safety issues and asked the FDA for emergency use authorization
The vaccinersquos effi cacy and safety data met its expectations for emergency use authorization FDA staff said in docu-ments released ahead of a Thursday meet-ing of outside experts to the FDA who will discuss whether to recommend the Pfi zer
shot for people aged 16 and olderJeff eries analyst Michael Yee said in
research note the documents were ldquovery simple and straightforward which we think will lead to approval imminentlyrdquo
The agency typically follows the rec-ommendations of its advisory panels but is not required to do so It is not clear how many days or weeks the FDA will take to make a decision but states are prepping for vaccine deliveries in mid-December
The documents were released on the day Britons began getting the Pfi zerBi-oNTech vaccine the worldrsquos fi rst recipi-ents outside of clinical trials
ldquoThere are no surprises here The ef-fi cacy and the safety is consistent with what we heard and what we hoped for It does look like the vaccine is safe at least in the short termrdquo said Dr Daniel Culver chair of Pulmonary Medicine at Cleveland Clinic in an interview He said the data showing it was as eff ective in older people as in younger people was reassuring
Pfi zer shares rose nearly 2 and BioN-Techrsquos US shares were up 25 in early trading
Pfi zer Chief Executive Albert Bourla said on Tuesday he expects a ldquovery in-tenserdquo meeting with a US vaccine advi-sory panel this week but is counting on the panel of outside experts to sign off on his companyrsquos COVID-19 vaccine candi-date
ldquoI think they will vote lsquoyesrsquo given the strength of the datardquo Bourla said at a
conference hosted by a pharmaceutical industry group
PROTECTION AFTER ONE SHOTData from the trial showed that the vac-
cine began conferring some protection to recipients even before they received the sec-ond shot the FDA said The eff ect became most pronounced about 14 days after people received the fi rst shot
The agencyrsquos staff noted that more data would be needed to assess the potential of a single-dose shot It said that the effi cacy after dose 1 and before dose 2 was around 52 percent
A two-dose vaccination was highly eff ec-tive in preventing confi rmed cases of COV-ID-19 at least seven days after the last dose FDA staff said
The FDA staff also said that available data while limited suggested the people who had been previously infected with the new coronavirus could benefi t from vac-
cination Very few cases of confi rmed CO-VID-19 occurred among participants with evidence of infection prior to vaccination though more of those that did were in the placebo group than the vaccine group the staff said
FDA staff also said that the trial which was designed to look at eff ectiveness against COVID-19 did not produce data to answer the question of if it also stopped infection
In terms of safety the FDA staff said there was currently insuffi cient data to make conclusions about the safety of the vaccine in people below 16 years of age pregnant women and those with compromised immune systems
There were a total of six deaths in the 44000 person trial with two deaths among those who got the vaccine and the rest in those who received a placebo the docu-ments showed All deaths represent events that occur in the general population at a similar rate FDA staff said

NEW YORK - Companies and industry groups lobbying to get their US workers to the front of the line for COVID vaccination are running into a patchwork of state plans and confusion over who is essential and who is not
Inoculation against the disease caused by the novel coronavirus is key to safely reopening large parts of the economy and reduc-ing the risks of illness at crowd-ed meatpacking plants factories and warehouses
But before one needle has en-tered the arm of an American
worker confusion has broken out over who exactly is consid-ered essential during a pandemic
With initial vaccine doses limited and strong federal guid-ance lacking it has fallen to US states to determine who will be first in line to receive a vaccine and who will have to wait well into next year
State vaccine distribution plans reviewed by Reuters showed broad discrepancies over who would be considered essential with some states clearly outlin-ing specific worker groups and
others not providing any clarityGenerally states have broad
discretion when it comes to vac-cine distribution and policy and are able to issue vaccination mandates for their residents
Many states have so far fol-lowed federal guidance to give meat and food processing indus-try workers space in the line but some are slowly moving away said Mark Lauritsen a former hog slaughter worker who now advocates on behalf of about
250000 meatpacking and food processing workers under the United Food and Commercial Workers union
ldquoFor example Colorado has not moved meatpacking and meat-processing as high as some other states So wersquoll be directing a lot of our effort towards places like Colorado where we may be moved down the food chainrdquo
ldquoWersquore a union that has mem-bers in every state so we will be talking to every state to make
our case as to where our place in line should beEverybody is go-ing to be jockeying for a place in linerdquo
More than 20 large industries have urged officials to prioritize their workers including individ-ual companies such as ride-hail-ing company Uber Technologies Inc and food delivery provider DoorDash Inc and industry groups representing truck driv-ers teachers retail workers and other business sectors
As US companies push to get workers vaccinated states disagree on whorsquos essential

California becomes biggest US stateto launch virus contact-tracing app
OAKLAND - California on Monday announced an app to help people track their exposure to the coronavirus becoming the big-gest US state to take advantage of new technology from smart-phone software makers Apple Inc and Alphabet Incrsquos Google
Beginning on Thursday people in California can activate the ex-posure notifications tool from the settings menu on iPhones or by downloading the CA Notify App in the Google Play store on Android devices
The apps enable Bluetooth sig-nals between devices to determine
when they are in close proximity and the apps then anonymously alert users when a recent contact later tests positive At least 6 mil-lion people in the United States have tried the system in recent months across the 21 states and two territories that made apps available before California Colo-rado and New York are among other states with apps
Public health experts say adop-tion has lagged because of tech-nical shortcomings in the earliest apps privacy concerns and dis-missive attitudes toward taking precautions to avoid the virus
But California officials hope the app will be adopted quickly in a state that is home to many tech workers
The statersquos two most densely inhabited regions and its agri-cultural breadbasket went under stay-at-home orders in the last couple of days as the pandem-ic strains hospitals in the most populous US state
CA Notify had been tested on state university campuses since September The University of California San Diego will contin-ue to oversee the system and staff a user support phone hotline

India can bank on match-winner Pandya for next five years Kohli
SYDNEY - India captain Vi-rat Kohli has identified Har-dik Pandya as their ldquobankablerdquo match-winner for the next four to five years after the all-rounder dazzled in their series-clinching Twenty20 Interna-tional victory over Australia on Sunday
India needed 25 runs off the last two overs and Pandya deliv-ered in style smashing two sixes in the final over to secure a six-wicket victory with two balls to spare
ldquoHe has natural raw talent and now hersquos quite experienced having played quite a bit of T20 cricket in the IPL (Indian Pre-mier League) and playing for In-dia toordquo Kohli said after Indiarsquos second successive win in the three-match series
ldquoNow he realises that this is his time the next four-five years to become that bankable middle-order player that can win you games from anywhere
ldquoYou need that finisher and hersquos becoming that for us Hersquos
hungry hersquos got to keep getting betterrdquo
Pandya whose 42 not out off 22 balls earned him the Man of the Match award showed no signs of nerves even as the ask-ing run rate spiralled
ldquoI always believe as a cricket-er you have to improve with time
and I have taken some time but I think things are coming pretty well nowrdquo said the 27-year- old
ldquoNow my biggest goal (is) that I want to finish games where it matters the mostrdquo
Pandya said he was happy to bat wherever the team need him
ldquoIf time comes when I have to bat number four I donrsquot mindrdquo he added ldquoIf time comes where I have to finish the game I have to do that job as well whatever the team requiresrdquo
Tuesdayrsquos final Twenty20 match will also be played at the Sydney Cricket Ground

Rahane gets century boost ahead of key test role in Australia
SYDNEY - Indiarsquos Ajinkya Ra-hane crafted an unbeaten century in a warm-up match on Sunday to give himself a timely boost ahead of his major responsibility in the four-test series against Australia beginning later this month
With regular skipper Virat Kohli set to return home after the opening test in Adelaide to attend the birth of his first child Rahane will be in charge in the final three matches in Australia
The right-handed batsman made 108 not out to help the tour-ists overcome a top order wobble and reach 237-8 on day one of the three-day match against Australia A at Drummoyne Oval
Rahane hit 16 boundaries and a six an upper cut against James
Pattinson to reach the half-centu-ry mark
Number three Cheteshwar Pu-jara who was awarded man-of-
the-series when India won their maiden test series in Australia two seasons ago also spent qual-ity time in the middle and scored 54
While Rahane played in the recent Indian Premier League (IPL) in the United Arab Emir-ates this was Pujararsquos first com-petitive outing since a domestic Ranji Trophy match in early March
Pujara lasted 140 balls before falling to Pattinson who claimed 3-58 to signal his own prepared-ness for the test series
It was a mixed outing for the tourists as three of their top six batsmen including openers Prithvi Shaw and Shubman Gill fell for ducks

LONDON - An Indian school-teacher has been awarded the 2020 Global Teacher Prize -- and has vowed to give half of the $1 million prize money to the runners-up
The award which is run by the Varkey Foundation in partner-ship with UNESCO celebrates ldquoexceptionalrdquo teachers who have made an outstanding contribution to their profession
Ranjitsinh Disale a teacher at Zilla Parishad Primary School in the village of Paritewadi in
the western Indian state of Ma-harashtra was chosen as winner from more than 12000 nomina-tions and applications from over 140 countries around the world
The award recognized his ef-forts to promote girlsrsquo education at the school whose pupils are mostly from tribal communities
The Global Teacher Prize said he learned the local language of the village in order to translate class textbooks into his pupilsrsquo mother tongue
He also created unique QR
codes on the textbooks to give students access to audio poems video lectures stories and assign-ments greatly improving school attendance His QR technology is now being rolled out more widely across India
The British actor and TV host Stephen Fry announced Disale as the winner at a virtual ceremony broadcast from the Natural His-
tory Museum in London last Thursday
Rather than keeping all his winnings Disale told Fry in an interview that he would share the prize with the other nine finalists giving them $55000 each -- the first time anyone has done so in the awardrsquos six-year history
The pandemic reimagined sub-Saharan education but access to
digital is urgently neededHe told Fry ldquoI believe that if I
share this prize money with nine teachers it means I can scale up their work Their incredible work is still worthy If I share the prize money with the rest of the teachers they will get a chance to continue their work and we can reach out and lighten the lives of as many students as we canrdquo

Victims of Bhopal gas tragedy say pandemic has worsened their plight
BHOPAL - Protesters in the cen-tral Indian city of Bhopal formed a human chain last Thursday to de-mand justice for people suffering cancer blindness respiratory im-mune and neurological problems from the worldrsquos worst industrial disaster 36 years ago
In the early hours of December 3 1984 methyl isocyanate gas leaked from a pesticide factory owned by American Union Car-bide Corporation More than half a million people were poisoned that night and the official death toll exceeded 5000
Thousands of survivors have said they their children and grandchildren are struggling with chronic health problems as a
result of the leak and toxic waste left behind and face hefty medical bills at a time when the pandemic is making their health even more fragile
Dow Chemical which now owns Union Carbide has denied liability saying it bought the com-pany a decade after Union Carbide settled its liabilities to the Indian government in 1989 by paying $470 million
Protesters say the government still underestimates the number of victims and compensation did not go to many who needed it
ldquoStop giving us false prom-ises have some shamerdquo pro-testers shouted as they demanded
financial helpLocal rights group say vic-
tims of the Bhopal gas trag-edy are more vulnerable to the coronavirus than other people
ldquoToday we have official docu-ments to show that the death rate of gas victims due to COVID-19 is 65 times higher than those who were not exposedrdquo said Rachna Dhingra an activist who has worked with survivors of the tragedy
Local media quoted a govern-ment official as saying that out of the 518 coronavirus deaths in the Bhopal district since the beginning of the outbreak 102 were survivors of the gas leak

CHICAGO (AP) - A federal judge struck down two Trump administra-tion rules designed to drastically curtail the number of visas issued each year to skilled foreign workers
The changes applying to the H-1B visa program announced in October include imposing salary requirements on compa-nies employing skilled overseas workers and limits on specialty occupations De-partment of Homeland Security officials deemed it a priority because of corona-virus-related job losses and estimated as many as one-third of those who have ap-plied for H-1Brsquos in recent years would be denied under the new rules
US District Judge Jeffrey White in
California said the government didnrsquot fol-low transparency procedures and its con-tention that the changes were an emergen-cy response to pandemic job losses didnrsquot hold water because the Trump adminis-tration has floated the idea for some time but only published the rules in October
ldquoThe COVID-19 pandemic is an event beyond defendantsrsquo control yet it was within defendantsrsquo control to take action earlier than they didrdquo White wrote
The US issues up to 85000 H-1B vi-sas each year in sectors including tech-nology engineering and medicine Usu-ally theyrsquore issued for three years and renewable Most of the nearly 600000 H-1B visa holders in the US are from India and China
The H-1B rules announced weeks
before the election were part of President Donald Trumprsquos wider agenda to curb nearly all forms of immigration In June he issued an order temporarily suspend-ing the H-1B program until the end of the year
The US Chamber of Commerce and universities including the California In-stitute of Technology sued in California arguing there wasnrsquot adequate notice or time for the public to comment on the changes They also said the rules par-ticularly related to requiring a prevail-ing wage for visa-holders would have a drastic impact on new hires and ldquosever the employment relationship of hundreds of thousands of existing employees in the United Statesrdquo
The University of Utah cited an ex-ample where an H-1B employee seeking renewal was paid an $80000 salary but would have to be paid $208000 under the new rule
The judge agreed that the federal gov-ernment didnrsquot make a case for imple-menting the rules under the Admin-istrative Procedure Act which makes agencies accountable to the public by requiring a detailed process for enacting regulations
ldquoDefendants failed to show there was good cause to dispense with the ratio-

San Jose man sentenced to two years imprisonment for damaging Ciscorsquos networkSAN JOSE - Sudhish Kasaba Ramesh
was sentenced on Wednesday to 24 months in prison and ordered to pay a $15000 fine for intentionally accessing a protected computer without authorization and reck-lessly causing damage announced United States Attorney David L Anderson and Federal Bureau of Investigation Special Agent in Charge Craig D Fair
Ramesh 31 of San Jose pleaded guilty on August 26 2020 to one count of in-tentionally accessing a protected computer without authorization and recklessly caus-ing damage to Cisco Ramesh worked for Cisco but resigned in approximately April 2018 According to the plea agreement Ramesh admitted to intentionally access-ing the Cisco Systems cloud infrastructure that was hosted by Amazon Web Services without Ciscorsquos permission on September 24 2018
Ramesh further admitted that during his unauthorized access he deployed a code from his Google Cloud Project account
that resulted in the deletion of 456 vir-tual machines for Ciscorsquos WebEx Teams application which provides video meet-ings video messaging file sharing and other collaboration tools He admitted that he acted recklessly in deploying the code and consciously disregarded the sub-stantial risk that his conduct would harm Cisco
As a result of Rameshrsquos conduct over 16000 WebEx Teams accounts were shut down for up to two weeks and caused Cis-co to spend approximately $1400000 in employee time to restore the damage to the application and refund over $1000000 to affected customers No customer data was compromised as a result of the defendantrsquos conduct
Ramesh was sentenced to serve a one-year period of supervised release follow-ing the 24 months in prison and to pay a $15000 fine The defendant is out of cus-tody and will begin serving the sentence on February 10 2021
nal and thoughtful discourse that is pro-vided by the APArsquos notice and comment requirementsrdquo White wrote
The rule on wages proposed by the De-partment of Labor took effect in October while the Homeland Security rule on oc-cupations and other issues was supposed to take effect last Monday It also would have placed limits on ldquooffsiterdquo firms that employ and contract out H-1B visa hold-ers to other companies their visas would have been limited to one year at a time
ldquoThis is incredibly important deci-sion to preserve the H-1B programrdquo said attorney Paul Hughes who repre-sented the plaintiffs ldquoThis ruling en-ables those individuals to maintain their jobs and their families in the United Statesrdquo
The Chamber of Commerce said in a statement that the ruling ldquohas many com-panies across various industries breath-ing a huge sigh of reliefrdquo with the visa changes having ldquothe potential to be in-credibly disruptive to the operations of many businessesrdquo
Messages left for spokespeople with the Labor and Homeland Security depart-ments werenrsquot immediately returned
The wage rule has prompted at least two other federal lawsuits in New Jersey and Washington DC

Owner and operator of India-based call centers sentenced to prison for scamming US victims out of millions of dollars
lions of dollars by spearheading a conspiracy whose members boldly impersonated federal government of-ficials and preyed on victimsrsquo fears of adverse government actionrdquo said Act-ing Attorney General Brian C Rabbitt of the Justice Departmentrsquos Criminal Division
ldquoSince 2013 American taxpayers have been subjected to unprecedented attempts to fraudulently obtain money by individ-uals utilizing Indian call centers to imper-sonate IRS employees and scam Ameri-can taxpayersrdquo said J Russell George the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA)
According to admissions in his plea agreement Patel and his co-conspirators perpetrated a complex scheme in which employees from call centers in Ahmed-abad India impersonated officials from the IRS and US Citizenship and Immi-gration Services (USCIS) and engaged in other telephone call scams designed to defraud victims throughout the United States US victims were threatened with arrest imprisonment fines or deportation if they did not pay alleged monies owed to the government Those who fell victim were instructed how to provide payment including by purchasing general purpose reloadable (GPR) cards or wiring money Upon payment the call centers would im-
mediately turn to a network of ldquorunnersrdquo based in the United States to liquidate and launder the fraudulently obtained funds
A co-defendant described Patel as ldquothe top person in India and the boss for whom most of the other defendants workedrdquo and the owner of multiple call centers Another co-defendant stated that Patel was arrested in India in 2016 but then paid a bribe and was released Addi-tionally Patel admitted that a reasonably foreseeable loss of more than $25 million
but less than $65 million was attribut-able to him based on the governmentrsquos evidence against him
Patel was prosecuted in the United States after being extradited from Singa-pore in April 2019 to face charges in this large-scale telefraud and money launder-ing scheme Singapore authorities appre-hended Patel at the request of the United States pursuant to a provisional arrest warrant in September 2018 after Patel flew there from India

WASHINGTON DC - Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Ajit Pai who oversaw the repeal of landmark US net neutrality rules and a series of key spectrum auctions to address growing wireless needs said he plans to leave the commission on Jan 20
Pairsquos departure will come the same day President-elect Joe Biden is sworn into office Under
Pai the FCC voted 3-2 in 2017 to repeal the Obama administra-tionrsquos 2015 net neutrality rules barring internet service providers (ISPs) from blocking or slowing internet content or offering paid ldquofast lanesrdquo
The FCC voted in October to maintain the repeal ldquoIt is pa-tently obvious to all but the most devoted members of the net neu-trality cult that the case against the (net neutrality repeal) was a shamrdquo Pai said in October
FCC chairman Ajit Pai plans to step down Democrats are likely to attempt
to reinstate the 2015 rules when they take control of the FCC and argue they are crucial to main-taining an open internet
Pai who was tapped by Presi-dent Donald Trump to lead the agency in January 2017 had said the FCC needed to take a ldquoweed whackerrdquo to unneeded rules He oversaw the repeal of numerous prior regulations
Trump has pressed the FCC to adopt new rules to limit the legal
protections of social media com-panies like Twitter
Pai said in October his agency would move forward to set new rules to clarify the meaning of a key legal protection for social media companies but took no for-mal action
The Senate Commerce Com-mittee is set to vote on the nomi-nation of Nathan Simington a senior administration official to a seat on the FCC after Trump withdrew the nomination of FCC Commissioner Mike OrsquoRielly for another term after he made statements questioning the FCCrsquos
authority to move ahead with new social media regulations
In October 2017 Pai rejected Trumprsquos tweet the FCC could challenge the license of Comcast Corprsquos NBC over stories Trump asserted were not true
Pai convinced hundreds of internet providers to agree for months not to cancel service for customers impacted by the coronavirus pandemic
Pai also backed the $26 bil-lion tie-up of Sprint Corp and T-Mobile US after the companies agreed to deploy a next genera-tion 5G network

Indian doctors find lead nickel in blood samples after hundreds suffer mystery illness
By Jatindra Dashand Sudarshan Varadhan
BHUBANESWAR - Indian authorities said on Tuesday they found traces of lead and nickel particles in blood samples after hundreds of people were hospi-talised due to an unknown illness in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh
Teams of doctors including those from New Delhirsquos premier All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) are investigat-ing the death of one person and hospitalisation of more than 400 in the past few days
Andhra Pradeshrsquos state govern-ment said on Tuesday the AIIMS
team had found traces of lead and nickel in their samples while a second hospital is also running similar tests
The illness has infected more than 300 children with most of them suffering from dizzi-ness fainting spells headaches and vomiting They have tested negative for COVID-19
High levels of lead in the bloodstream can impair develop-ment of brains nervous systems and vital organs such as heart and lungs
Earlier on Tuesday federal law-maker GVL Narasimha Rao who is from the state said on Twitter that he had spoken with govern-ment medical experts and that the
ldquomost likely cause is poisonous organochlorine substancesrdquo
ldquoIt is one of the possibilitiesrdquo said Geeta Prasadini a public health director in Andhra Pradesh state adding they were awaiting test reports to ascertain the cause
She said no new serious cases have come to light in the past 24 hours A 45-year-old man died over the weekend
Organochlorines here are banned or restricted in many countries after research linked them to cancer and other poten-tial health risks However some of the pollutants remain in the environment for years and build up in animal and human body fat

NEW DELHI - Thousands of Indian farmers angered by farm laws that they say threaten their livelihoods have intensified their protests by blocking highways and camping out on the outskirts of the capital Delhi
The government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and leaders of protesting farmersrsquo unions have held several rounds of talks but have not made any progress in breaking the dead-
lock over the set of laws passed by parliament in September
Although various farmer unions have supported the pro-test the agitation is largely led by the growers of relatively well-off states of Punjab and Haryana in Indiarsquos north
Every year the Indian govern-ment spends billions of dollars on buying millions of tonnes of rice and wheat from Punjab and Haryana and the worldrsquos most expensive food procure-ment program has now become
the centrepiece of Indiarsquos biggest farmersrsquo protest in years
After calculating the cost of cultivation the state-run Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP) an-nounces Minimum Support Prices (MSPs) for more than 22 commodities yearly to set a benchmark
Although every year the CACP announces MSPs for most crops the Food Corporation of India (FCI) the main state-run
grain procurement agency buys only rice and wheat at those pric-es due to a lack of storage and funds
After buying rice and wheat from farmers at MSPs the FCI sells the staples at highly sub-sidised prices to the poor The government compensates the FCI for its losses
Guaranteed prices offered by the FCI encourage farmers to pro-duce large quantities of rice and wheat Higher production puts
pressure on the FCI to buy extra supplies from farmers resulting in overflowing state warehouses and a ballooning subsidy bill that often pushes up the budget deficit
Despite sitting on massive mounds of rice and wheat the FCI finds it challenging to export as the annual rise in MSPs and its own storage costs make FCIrsquos rice and wheat more expen-sive than world prices making overseas sales uneconomic
Indiarsquos multi-billion dollar food program is at the heart of farmersrsquo protests

Farmers protest against the newly passed farm bills at Singhu border near Delhi India on December 4 2020
India formally protests to Canada over Trudeau remarks on farm protests
By Sanjeev Miglani
NEW DELHI - India sum-moned Canadarsquos ambassador last Friday and said comments made by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over protests by farm-ers near Delhi were an interfer-ence in its domestic affairs and would seriously hurt bilateral ties
Trudeau speaking to the In-dian community in Canada said this week that he was concerned about the farmers most of them from the Sikh-dominated state of Punjab camped out on the
outskirts of Delhi in a protest against farm reforms
The Indian foreign ministry said in a statement that com-ments on ldquoissues relating to In-dian farmers constitute an un-acceptable interference in our internal affairsrdquo
India and Canada have warm ties but in recent years there has been concern in India that some Sikh leaders in Canada have ties to separatist groups hostile to India
Canada is home to an influen-tial Sikh community and Indian leaders say there are some fringe
groups there that are still sympa-thetic to the cause of an indepen-dent Sikh state called Khalistan carved out of India

MOVIE REVIEW
Itrsquos been eight months since
the last big Hindi film Angrezi Medium hit screens Once the lockdown kicked in films be-gan to go online even the ones starring A-listers But produc-ers of some small films decided to wait for cinemas to reopen Last month cinemas finally got the go-ahead in most parts of the country while on November 5 the prime state of Maharashtra too gave its nod This prompted Zee Studios to release Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari on Diwali on the big screen The trailer of the film has been impressive and carries a good vibe So does Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari manage to en-tertain and give viewers a good time Or does it falter Letrsquos analyse
Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari is the story of a feud between a wedding detective and a dairy owner The year is 1995 Suraj Singh Dhillon (Diljit Dosanjh) is a single guy from Mumbai and the heir of Jai Mata Rani Doodh Bhandar He lives with his fa-ther Gurnaam Dhillon (Manoj Pahwa) mother Yeshodha Dhil-lon (Seema Pahwa) and sister Guddi (Vanshika Sharma) His parents are looking for a right match but their efforts are futile
Surajs sidekick Sukhi (Manuj Sharma) tells him to be cool and a bad boy and that it would help attract girls Suraj likes the idea and as part of his stint as a cool bad boy he breaks the traf-fic signal and consumes alcohol in front of a girlrsquos college Mean-while his parents find a match for him An excited Suraj goes to the girlrsquos house with his par-ents But the girlrsquos parents refuse their proposal because they had the pictures of Suraj while he was in his bad boy avatar Suraj is dejected and is dying to know who clicked his pictures after all After cajoling the Pandit Dubey ji (Neeraj Sood) he gets to know that itrsquos none other than Madhu Mangal Rane (Manoj Bajpayee) a wedding detective He believes itrsquos his job to find flaws in the to-be grooms and thus save the lives of gullible girls and their families Suraj wants revenge but doesnrsquot know how He then realizes that Mangal has a sis-ter Tulshi Rane (Fatima Sana Shaikh) He decides to fake a relationship with her in order to get back at Mangal However he falls for her in real He expresses his love to Tulshi She however is hiding a shocking secret about her life and passion This secret gives Suraj the much needed op-portunity to damage Mangals reputation At the same time it can also dent his marriage pros-pects with Tulshi What happens next forms the rest of the film
Shokhi Banerjees story is very interesting and entertaining One might feel that the makers revealed almost the whole plot in the trailer But thatrsquos not the case as the film has a lot more to of-fer Rohan Shankars screenplay is entertaining for most parts The various twists and dramatic points are well fleshed out How-ever a few rough edges remain Also the humour quotient is lim-ited Rohan Shankars dialogues are hilarious and a few of them are sure to induce claps
Abhishek Sharmas direction is neat He deserves brownie
points for keeping the mood of the film light from start to finish The film never gets too heavy even in no-nonsense situations Also the film is replete with some very quirky characters and he makes good use of them to add to the fun Moreover the film cel-ebrates the Marathi culture and the middle-class lifestyle of the city It fondly also reminds one of the simple slice-of-life films made by Hrishikesh Mukherjee and Basu Chatterjee On the flip-side some of the portions of the first half arenrsquot upto the mark es-pecially the lsquoBad Boyrsquo sequence A few developments are hard to digest especially the track of the professor deciding not to take any action against his wife despite the latter cheating on him Also the manner in which Madhu plans the breaking off the engagement ceremony of his sister is a bit too much Mangalrsquos change of heart
in the climax also comes across as very unconvincing Thank-fully the Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge [1995] inspired climax makes up for it
Anshuman Mahaleys cin-ematography is first-rate Rajat Poddars production design is authentic and reminds one of the 90s Vijay Gangulys choreogra-phy is appealing in Basanti Jia Bhagia and Mallika Chauhans costumes are realistic for all the characters Fatemarsquos clothes however donrsquot seem to be of 1995 but nevertheless looks glamorous Rameshwar Bhagats editing is fair
On the whole Suraj Pe Man-gal Bhari is a decent entertain-er and a clean family film that works because of its plot the depiction of the mid-90s era and the performances

WASHINGTON - IBM and US offi cials are sounding the alarm over hackers targeting companies critical to the distribu-tion of COVID-19 vaccines
IBM said last Thursday that the campaign was a sign that digital spies are turning their attention to the complex logistical work in-volved in inoculating the worldrsquos population against the novel coronavirus although some out-side experts questioned whether that was the hackersrsquo focus
In a blog post here published last Thursday IBM said it had uncovered ldquoa global phishing campaignrdquo focused on organi-zations associated with the CO-VID-19 vaccine ldquocold chainrdquo - the process needed to keep vaccine doses at extremely cold temperatures as they travel from manufacturers to peoplersquos arms
The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency reposted the report warning here members of Operation Warp Speed - the US governmentrsquos
national vaccine mission - to be on the lookout
Other cybsecurity experts expressed some skepticism however of IBMrsquos fi ndings
Joe Slowik a researcher at on-line threat intelligence fi rm Do-mainTools said he believed IBM had stumbled upon ldquoa subset of activityrdquo that was part of a much wider campaign ldquowhich may not be focused on vaccines or similar activityrdquo
While ldquodefi nitely maliciousrdquo Slowik said he was not convinced it was specifi cally focused on vaccine distribution
Who is behind the espionage is not clear Messages sent to the email addresses used by the hackers were not returned
Understanding how to build a secure cold chain is fundamental to distributing vaccines devel-oped by the likes of Pfi zer Inc and BioNTech because the shots need to be stored at minus 70 de-grees Celsius (-94 F) or below to avoid spoiling
Hackers target groups in COVID-19 vaccine distribution says IBM
IBMrsquos cybersecurity unit said it had detected an advanced group of hackers working to gather in-formation about diff erent aspects of the cold chain using meticu-lously crafted booby-trapped emails sent in the name of an ex-ecutive with Haier Biomedical a Chinese cold chain provider that specializes in vaccine transport
and biological sample storageHaier Medical did not return
messages seeking commentTargets included companies
involved in the manufacture of solar panels which are used to power vaccine refrigerators in warm countries and petrochemi-cal products that could be used to derive dry ice
Amazon eyes potential $100 million investment in Indiarsquos Apollo Pharmacy
BENGALURU - Amazoncom Inc is considering a nearly $100 million investment in In-diarsquos pharmacy chain Apollo Pharmacy facing up to Reliance Industries Ltd and Tata Group in the countryrsquos fast-growing drug market the Economic Times re-ported on Wednesday citing two people aware of the plans
Amazon already delivers med-icines in India and the potential investment would come amid rising competition from Muke-sh Ambanirsquos Reliance which bought a majority stake in online pharmacy Netmeds
Tata Group here meanwhile
was reportedly in talks to pick up a majority stake in e-pharma-cy fi rm 1mg
Both Amazon and Apollo Hospitals which owns Apollo Pharmacy declined to comment
The growth of e-pharmacies however has left many Indian trader groups feeling threatened who say online drugstores can contribute to medicine sales without proper verifi cation and the entry of large players can cause unemployment in the sector
Amazonrsquos plan to further ex-pand in India also comes close on the heels of its launch of an online pharmacy to deliver pre-scription drugs in the United States increasing competi-tion with drug retailers such as Walgreens CVS Health and Walmart

NEW YORK - Indiarsquos econ-omy will return to growth in 202122 after a sharp con-traction in the latest year and higher public spending will lay the foundation for stronger growth in the next four to five years Finance Minister Nirma-la Sitharaman told Reuters last Thursday
With the worldrsquos second high-est number of coronavirus cases despite a severe lockdown of its 13 billion people early in the pandemic Indiarsquos economy is expected to contract nearly 10 in the 202021 financial year
But a recovery is taking hold now Sitharaman told the Reuters Global Investment Outlook Summit 2021
ldquoI would think 2021-22 will be very big good traction year
Indiarsquos economy on the rebound govt focuses on spending Sitharamanfor achieving a really good rate of growth that itself is going to be a launching pad for 4-5 years of growing at a good speed pro-vided we do enough on the bud-get and spend on infrastructurerdquo she said She gave no numbers about how big a government spending increase she planned to propose
Because the Indian govern-ment was concerned about its budget deficit its stimulus to
fight the economic slump during the pandemic was more mod-est than those of other countries such as the United States Japan and the United Kingdom
Sitharaman suggested the government should spend more in the months ahead to boost the growth rate
ldquoI have to be conscious that if I donrsquot spend now then the stim-ulus is meaningless if I donrsquot spend now the revival is going to get deferred and we canrsquot afford thatrdquo
The pace of the recovery would however depend on de-
velopment and adequate sup-ply of coronavirus vaccines economists say
India does not yet have a vac-cine purchase contract with any company but has said it will rely mainly on five being tested in the country including the Oxford-AstraZeneca one and Russiarsquos Sputnik V
Sitharaman said the govern-ment was bulking up the logis-tics including sufficient cold storage facilities to ensure de-livery of the vaccine down to the village councils across the country
RBI holds rates says will ensure ample liquidityMUMBAI - The Reserve Bank
of India (RBI) kept its key interest rates steady as widely expected last Friday amid persistently high inflation but said it will ensure ample liquidity is provided to stressed sectors to keep a nascent economic recovery on track
Its monetary policy committee decided to retain an accommoda-tive policy stance at least for the current financial year and into the next to revive growth on a du-rable basis while ensuring that inflation remains within target Governor Shaktikanta Das said in an online briefing
Das said the economy was re-bounding faster than expected
from a coronavirus-induced slump earlier in the year but warned signs of recovery were far from being broad based CO-VID-19 infections are also con-tinuing to climb with the tally now 957 million people
Das said MPC members voted unanimously to hold rates and re-tain the stance The key lending rate of the RBI or the repo rate was left unchanged at 4 while the reverse repo rate or the key borrowing rate stayed at 335
ldquoThe MPC is of the view that inflation is likely to remain el-evated barring transient relief in the winter months from prices of perishablesrdquo Das said
ldquoThis constrains monetary pol-icy at the current juncture from using the space available to act in support of growthrdquo
Indian stocks extended earlier gains to hit record highs after the decision while the Indian rupee strengthened slightly to 7376 against the dollar The bench-mark 10-year bond yield fell 3 basis points to 590
Das announced measures to help improve access to funding for stressed sectors and said the RBI will take further steps when necessary to ensure ample rupee liquidity to sustain visible growth impulses without impacting inflation

Telemarketing fraudster pleads guiltyPROVIDENCE RI - An Indian
national last week admitted to a federal judge in Providence that he participated in a wide-ranging conspiracy based in India to de-fraud United States citizens pri-marily seniors by telling victims that malware had been detected on their computers and based on that falsehood induced the vic-tims to direct money to him and his co-conspirators as payment for purported computer protection services that were not needed or ever provided
The conspirators in fact did not detect malware on victimsrsquo computers and accepted payment without providing any protection services
Himanshu Asri 33 of Delhi In-dia admitted that he had 325 call-ers routed to call centers in India where call center operators falsely reasserted to victims that malware had been detected on their com-puters and offered the victims purported computer protection services in exchange for payment The purpose of the false assertions was to induce people into routing money to the fraudsters
According to information pre-sented to the court from as far back as January 2015 through January 2020 Asri and others working together collected in
total approximately $940995 from victims through their fraud and attempted to collect between $1500000 and $3000000 The actual loss was less than the in-tended loss because some of those who were targeted by Asri and his coconspirators did not send any funds to the fraudsters
According to information pre-sented to the court the govern-ment and the defendant agree that many of Asrirsquos victims were vulnerable to fraud schemes due to age or infirmity and the parties agree that the scheme pursued by Asri and his coconspirators were structured to exploit such persons specifically persons over the age of 65
Appearing last week before
US District Court Chief Judge John J McConnell Jr Asri pleaded guilty to wire fraud con-spiracy announced United States Attorney Aaron L Weisman and Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Boston Division Joseph R Bonavolonta
Asri the 4th India-based tele-marketing fraudster to be convict-ed in federal court in Rhode Island in the past three months is sched-uled to be sentenced on February 18 2021 Wire fraud conspiracy is punishable by statutory penalties of up to 20 years in prison three years of supervised release and a fine of $250000
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant US Attorney Milind M Shah

California serial arson suspect arrested after garage doors car set on fire
FREMONT CA - Police in Fremont on Tuesday morning ar-rested a serial arson suspect who allegedly tried to light the ga-rage doors of multiple residenc-es on fire after he ignited a car according to authorities

According to a news release undercover detectives were con-
ducting surveillance for Patel who was suspected of being in-volved in at least four residen-tial garage door fires that had happened since December 1st
Fremont officers located pri-vate residential camera footage that provided a general descrip-tion of the suspect vehicle De-tectives then matched that foot-age to the Community Camera network which then provided a license plate for the suspect ve-hicle
Detectives were surveilling Patel early Tuesday morning when he led them to the same house he had targeted on Hoyt
Street at approximately 245 am Detectives saw Patel get out of his vehicle and pour a liquid on a parked vehicle
Police detectives tried to con-tact Patel before he could ignite the vehicle but he was able to set the vehicle on fire Authorities were able to arrest the suspect as he ran back to his vehicle and extinguished the car fire with a nearby garden hose
Patel was arrested on arson charges and booked at the Fre-mont City Jail Detectives de-termined that Patel knew at least one of the residents that he had targeted in his arson attacks

Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine data wins backing of FDA authorization nears
By Manas Mishra Michael Erman and Rebecca Spalding
Pfi zer Inc cleared the next hurdle in the race to get its COVID-19 vaccine ap-proved for emergency use on Tuesday after the US Food and Drug Administra-tion (FDA) released documents that raised no new issues about its safety or effi cacy
Pfi zer and German partner BioNTech SE said last month their coronavirus vac-cinersquos two-dose regimen was 95 eff ec-tive against COVID-19 and had no ma-jor safety issues and asked the FDA for emergency use authorization
The vaccinersquos effi cacy and safety data met its expectations for emergency use authorization FDA staff said in docu-ments released ahead of a Thursday meet-ing of outside experts to the FDA who will discuss whether to recommend the Pfi zer
shot for people aged 16 and olderJeff eries analyst Michael Yee said in
research note the documents were ldquovery simple and straightforward which we think will lead to approval imminentlyrdquo
The agency typically follows the rec-ommendations of its advisory panels but is not required to do so It is not clear how many days or weeks the FDA will take to make a decision but states are prepping for vaccine deliveries in mid-December
The documents were released on the day Britons began getting the Pfi zerBi-oNTech vaccine the worldrsquos fi rst recipi-ents outside of clinical trials
ldquoThere are no surprises here The ef-fi cacy and the safety is consistent with what we heard and what we hoped for It does look like the vaccine is safe at least in the short termrdquo said Dr Daniel Culver chair of Pulmonary Medicine at Cleveland Clinic in an interview He said the data showing it was as eff ective in older people as in younger people was reassuring
Pfi zer shares rose nearly 2 and BioN-Techrsquos US shares were up 25 in early trading
Pfi zer Chief Executive Albert Bourla said on Tuesday he expects a ldquovery in-tenserdquo meeting with a US vaccine advi-sory panel this week but is counting on the panel of outside experts to sign off on his companyrsquos COVID-19 vaccine candi-date
ldquoI think they will vote lsquoyesrsquo given the strength of the datardquo Bourla said at a
conference hosted by a pharmaceutical industry group
PROTECTION AFTER ONE SHOTData from the trial showed that the vac-
cine began conferring some protection to recipients even before they received the sec-ond shot the FDA said The eff ect became most pronounced about 14 days after people received the fi rst shot
The agencyrsquos staff noted that more data would be needed to assess the potential of a single-dose shot It said that the effi cacy after dose 1 and before dose 2 was around 52 percent
A two-dose vaccination was highly eff ec-tive in preventing confi rmed cases of COV-ID-19 at least seven days after the last dose FDA staff said
The FDA staff also said that available data while limited suggested the people who had been previously infected with the new coronavirus could benefi t from vac-
cination Very few cases of confi rmed CO-VID-19 occurred among participants with evidence of infection prior to vaccination though more of those that did were in the placebo group than the vaccine group the staff said
FDA staff also said that the trial which was designed to look at eff ectiveness against COVID-19 did not produce data to answer the question of if it also stopped infection
In terms of safety the FDA staff said there was currently insuffi cient data to make conclusions about the safety of the vaccine in people below 16 years of age pregnant women and those with compromised immune systems
There were a total of six deaths in the 44000 person trial with two deaths among those who got the vaccine and the rest in those who received a placebo the docu-ments showed All deaths represent events that occur in the general population at a similar rate FDA staff said

NEW YORK - Companies and industry groups lobbying to get their US workers to the front of the line for COVID vaccination are running into a patchwork of state plans and confusion over who is essential and who is not
Inoculation against the disease caused by the novel coronavirus is key to safely reopening large parts of the economy and reduc-ing the risks of illness at crowd-ed meatpacking plants factories and warehouses
But before one needle has en-tered the arm of an American
worker confusion has broken out over who exactly is consid-ered essential during a pandemic
With initial vaccine doses limited and strong federal guid-ance lacking it has fallen to US states to determine who will be first in line to receive a vaccine and who will have to wait well into next year
State vaccine distribution plans reviewed by Reuters showed broad discrepancies over who would be considered essential with some states clearly outlin-ing specific worker groups and
others not providing any clarityGenerally states have broad
discretion when it comes to vac-cine distribution and policy and are able to issue vaccination mandates for their residents
Many states have so far fol-lowed federal guidance to give meat and food processing indus-try workers space in the line but some are slowly moving away said Mark Lauritsen a former hog slaughter worker who now advocates on behalf of about
250000 meatpacking and food processing workers under the United Food and Commercial Workers union
ldquoFor example Colorado has not moved meatpacking and meat-processing as high as some other states So wersquoll be directing a lot of our effort towards places like Colorado where we may be moved down the food chainrdquo
ldquoWersquore a union that has mem-bers in every state so we will be talking to every state to make
our case as to where our place in line should beEverybody is go-ing to be jockeying for a place in linerdquo
More than 20 large industries have urged officials to prioritize their workers including individ-ual companies such as ride-hail-ing company Uber Technologies Inc and food delivery provider DoorDash Inc and industry groups representing truck driv-ers teachers retail workers and other business sectors
As US companies push to get workers vaccinated states disagree on whorsquos essential

California becomes biggest US stateto launch virus contact-tracing app
OAKLAND - California on Monday announced an app to help people track their exposure to the coronavirus becoming the big-gest US state to take advantage of new technology from smart-phone software makers Apple Inc and Alphabet Incrsquos Google
Beginning on Thursday people in California can activate the ex-posure notifications tool from the settings menu on iPhones or by downloading the CA Notify App in the Google Play store on Android devices
The apps enable Bluetooth sig-nals between devices to determine
when they are in close proximity and the apps then anonymously alert users when a recent contact later tests positive At least 6 mil-lion people in the United States have tried the system in recent months across the 21 states and two territories that made apps available before California Colo-rado and New York are among other states with apps
Public health experts say adop-tion has lagged because of tech-nical shortcomings in the earliest apps privacy concerns and dis-missive attitudes toward taking precautions to avoid the virus
But California officials hope the app will be adopted quickly in a state that is home to many tech workers
The statersquos two most densely inhabited regions and its agri-cultural breadbasket went under stay-at-home orders in the last couple of days as the pandem-ic strains hospitals in the most populous US state
CA Notify had been tested on state university campuses since September The University of California San Diego will contin-ue to oversee the system and staff a user support phone hotline

India can bank on match-winner Pandya for next five years Kohli
SYDNEY - India captain Vi-rat Kohli has identified Har-dik Pandya as their ldquobankablerdquo match-winner for the next four to five years after the all-rounder dazzled in their series-clinching Twenty20 Interna-tional victory over Australia on Sunday
India needed 25 runs off the last two overs and Pandya deliv-ered in style smashing two sixes in the final over to secure a six-wicket victory with two balls to spare
ldquoHe has natural raw talent and now hersquos quite experienced having played quite a bit of T20 cricket in the IPL (Indian Pre-mier League) and playing for In-dia toordquo Kohli said after Indiarsquos second successive win in the three-match series
ldquoNow he realises that this is his time the next four-five years to become that bankable middle-order player that can win you games from anywhere
ldquoYou need that finisher and hersquos becoming that for us Hersquos
hungry hersquos got to keep getting betterrdquo
Pandya whose 42 not out off 22 balls earned him the Man of the Match award showed no signs of nerves even as the ask-ing run rate spiralled
ldquoI always believe as a cricket-er you have to improve with time
and I have taken some time but I think things are coming pretty well nowrdquo said the 27-year- old
ldquoNow my biggest goal (is) that I want to finish games where it matters the mostrdquo
Pandya said he was happy to bat wherever the team need him
ldquoIf time comes when I have to bat number four I donrsquot mindrdquo he added ldquoIf time comes where I have to finish the game I have to do that job as well whatever the team requiresrdquo
Tuesdayrsquos final Twenty20 match will also be played at the Sydney Cricket Ground

Rahane gets century boost ahead of key test role in Australia
SYDNEY - Indiarsquos Ajinkya Ra-hane crafted an unbeaten century in a warm-up match on Sunday to give himself a timely boost ahead of his major responsibility in the four-test series against Australia beginning later this month
With regular skipper Virat Kohli set to return home after the opening test in Adelaide to attend the birth of his first child Rahane will be in charge in the final three matches in Australia
The right-handed batsman made 108 not out to help the tour-ists overcome a top order wobble and reach 237-8 on day one of the three-day match against Australia A at Drummoyne Oval
Rahane hit 16 boundaries and a six an upper cut against James
Pattinson to reach the half-centu-ry mark
Number three Cheteshwar Pu-jara who was awarded man-of-
the-series when India won their maiden test series in Australia two seasons ago also spent qual-ity time in the middle and scored 54
While Rahane played in the recent Indian Premier League (IPL) in the United Arab Emir-ates this was Pujararsquos first com-petitive outing since a domestic Ranji Trophy match in early March
Pujara lasted 140 balls before falling to Pattinson who claimed 3-58 to signal his own prepared-ness for the test series
It was a mixed outing for the tourists as three of their top six batsmen including openers Prithvi Shaw and Shubman Gill fell for ducks

CHICAGO (AP) - A federal judge struck down two Trump administra-tion rules designed to drastically curtail the number of visas issued each year to skilled foreign workers
The changes applying to the H-1B visa program announced in October include imposing salary requirements on compa-nies employing skilled overseas workers and limits on specialty occupations De-partment of Homeland Security officials deemed it a priority because of corona-virus-related job losses and estimated as many as one-third of those who have ap-plied for H-1Brsquos in recent years would be denied under the new rules
US District Judge Jeffrey White in
California said the government didnrsquot fol-low transparency procedures and its con-tention that the changes were an emergen-cy response to pandemic job losses didnrsquot hold water because the Trump adminis-tration has floated the idea for some time but only published the rules in October
ldquoThe COVID-19 pandemic is an event beyond defendantsrsquo control yet it was within defendantsrsquo control to take action earlier than they didrdquo White wrote
The US issues up to 85000 H-1B vi-sas each year in sectors including tech-nology engineering and medicine Usu-ally theyrsquore issued for three years and renewable Most of the nearly 600000 H-1B visa holders in the US are from India and China
The H-1B rules announced weeks
before the election were part of President Donald Trumprsquos wider agenda to curb nearly all forms of immigration In June he issued an order temporarily suspend-ing the H-1B program until the end of the year
The US Chamber of Commerce and universities including the California In-stitute of Technology sued in California arguing there wasnrsquot adequate notice or time for the public to comment on the changes They also said the rules par-ticularly related to requiring a prevail-ing wage for visa-holders would have a drastic impact on new hires and ldquosever the employment relationship of hundreds of thousands of existing employees in the United Statesrdquo
The University of Utah cited an ex-ample where an H-1B employee seeking renewal was paid an $80000 salary but would have to be paid $208000 under the new rule
The judge agreed that the federal gov-ernment didnrsquot make a case for imple-menting the rules under the Admin-istrative Procedure Act which makes agencies accountable to the public by requiring a detailed process for enacting regulations
ldquoDefendants failed to show there was good cause to dispense with the ratio-

San Jose man sentenced to two years imprisonment for damaging Ciscorsquos networkSAN JOSE - Sudhish Kasaba Ramesh
was sentenced on Wednesday to 24 months in prison and ordered to pay a $15000 fine for intentionally accessing a protected computer without authorization and reck-lessly causing damage announced United States Attorney David L Anderson and Federal Bureau of Investigation Special Agent in Charge Craig D Fair
Ramesh 31 of San Jose pleaded guilty on August 26 2020 to one count of in-tentionally accessing a protected computer without authorization and recklessly caus-ing damage to Cisco Ramesh worked for Cisco but resigned in approximately April 2018 According to the plea agreement Ramesh admitted to intentionally access-ing the Cisco Systems cloud infrastructure that was hosted by Amazon Web Services without Ciscorsquos permission on September 24 2018
Ramesh further admitted that during his unauthorized access he deployed a code from his Google Cloud Project account
that resulted in the deletion of 456 vir-tual machines for Ciscorsquos WebEx Teams application which provides video meet-ings video messaging file sharing and other collaboration tools He admitted that he acted recklessly in deploying the code and consciously disregarded the sub-stantial risk that his conduct would harm Cisco
As a result of Rameshrsquos conduct over 16000 WebEx Teams accounts were shut down for up to two weeks and caused Cis-co to spend approximately $1400000 in employee time to restore the damage to the application and refund over $1000000 to affected customers No customer data was compromised as a result of the defendantrsquos conduct
Ramesh was sentenced to serve a one-year period of supervised release follow-ing the 24 months in prison and to pay a $15000 fine The defendant is out of cus-tody and will begin serving the sentence on February 10 2021
nal and thoughtful discourse that is pro-vided by the APArsquos notice and comment requirementsrdquo White wrote
The rule on wages proposed by the De-partment of Labor took effect in October while the Homeland Security rule on oc-cupations and other issues was supposed to take effect last Monday It also would have placed limits on ldquooffsiterdquo firms that employ and contract out H-1B visa hold-ers to other companies their visas would have been limited to one year at a time
ldquoThis is incredibly important deci-sion to preserve the H-1B programrdquo said attorney Paul Hughes who repre-sented the plaintiffs ldquoThis ruling en-ables those individuals to maintain their jobs and their families in the United Statesrdquo
The Chamber of Commerce said in a statement that the ruling ldquohas many com-panies across various industries breath-ing a huge sigh of reliefrdquo with the visa changes having ldquothe potential to be in-credibly disruptive to the operations of many businessesrdquo
Messages left for spokespeople with the Labor and Homeland Security depart-ments werenrsquot immediately returned
The wage rule has prompted at least two other federal lawsuits in New Jersey and Washington DC

Owner and operator of India-based call centers sentenced to prison for scamming US victims out of millions of dollars
lions of dollars by spearheading a conspiracy whose members boldly impersonated federal government of-ficials and preyed on victimsrsquo fears of adverse government actionrdquo said Act-ing Attorney General Brian C Rabbitt of the Justice Departmentrsquos Criminal Division
ldquoSince 2013 American taxpayers have been subjected to unprecedented attempts to fraudulently obtain money by individ-uals utilizing Indian call centers to imper-sonate IRS employees and scam Ameri-can taxpayersrdquo said J Russell George the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA)
According to admissions in his plea agreement Patel and his co-conspirators perpetrated a complex scheme in which employees from call centers in Ahmed-abad India impersonated officials from the IRS and US Citizenship and Immi-gration Services (USCIS) and engaged in other telephone call scams designed to defraud victims throughout the United States US victims were threatened with arrest imprisonment fines or deportation if they did not pay alleged monies owed to the government Those who fell victim were instructed how to provide payment including by purchasing general purpose reloadable (GPR) cards or wiring money Upon payment the call centers would im-
mediately turn to a network of ldquorunnersrdquo based in the United States to liquidate and launder the fraudulently obtained funds
A co-defendant described Patel as ldquothe top person in India and the boss for whom most of the other defendants workedrdquo and the owner of multiple call centers Another co-defendant stated that Patel was arrested in India in 2016 but then paid a bribe and was released Addi-tionally Patel admitted that a reasonably foreseeable loss of more than $25 million
but less than $65 million was attribut-able to him based on the governmentrsquos evidence against him
Patel was prosecuted in the United States after being extradited from Singa-pore in April 2019 to face charges in this large-scale telefraud and money launder-ing scheme Singapore authorities appre-hended Patel at the request of the United States pursuant to a provisional arrest warrant in September 2018 after Patel flew there from India

WASHINGTON DC - Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Ajit Pai who oversaw the repeal of landmark US net neutrality rules and a series of key spectrum auctions to address growing wireless needs said he plans to leave the commission on Jan 20
Pairsquos departure will come the same day President-elect Joe Biden is sworn into office Under
Pai the FCC voted 3-2 in 2017 to repeal the Obama administra-tionrsquos 2015 net neutrality rules barring internet service providers (ISPs) from blocking or slowing internet content or offering paid ldquofast lanesrdquo
The FCC voted in October to maintain the repeal ldquoIt is pa-tently obvious to all but the most devoted members of the net neu-trality cult that the case against the (net neutrality repeal) was a shamrdquo Pai said in October
FCC chairman Ajit Pai plans to step down Democrats are likely to attempt
to reinstate the 2015 rules when they take control of the FCC and argue they are crucial to main-taining an open internet
Pai who was tapped by Presi-dent Donald Trump to lead the agency in January 2017 had said the FCC needed to take a ldquoweed whackerrdquo to unneeded rules He oversaw the repeal of numerous prior regulations
Trump has pressed the FCC to adopt new rules to limit the legal
protections of social media com-panies like Twitter
Pai said in October his agency would move forward to set new rules to clarify the meaning of a key legal protection for social media companies but took no for-mal action
The Senate Commerce Com-mittee is set to vote on the nomi-nation of Nathan Simington a senior administration official to a seat on the FCC after Trump withdrew the nomination of FCC Commissioner Mike OrsquoRielly for another term after he made statements questioning the FCCrsquos
authority to move ahead with new social media regulations
In October 2017 Pai rejected Trumprsquos tweet the FCC could challenge the license of Comcast Corprsquos NBC over stories Trump asserted were not true
Pai convinced hundreds of internet providers to agree for months not to cancel service for customers impacted by the coronavirus pandemic
Pai also backed the $26 bil-lion tie-up of Sprint Corp and T-Mobile US after the companies agreed to deploy a next genera-tion 5G network

Indian doctors find lead nickel in blood samples after hundreds suffer mystery illness
By Jatindra Dashand Sudarshan Varadhan
BHUBANESWAR - Indian authorities said on Tuesday they found traces of lead and nickel particles in blood samples after hundreds of people were hospi-talised due to an unknown illness in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh
Teams of doctors including those from New Delhirsquos premier All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) are investigat-ing the death of one person and hospitalisation of more than 400 in the past few days
Andhra Pradeshrsquos state govern-ment said on Tuesday the AIIMS
team had found traces of lead and nickel in their samples while a second hospital is also running similar tests
The illness has infected more than 300 children with most of them suffering from dizzi-ness fainting spells headaches and vomiting They have tested negative for COVID-19
High levels of lead in the bloodstream can impair develop-ment of brains nervous systems and vital organs such as heart and lungs
Earlier on Tuesday federal law-maker GVL Narasimha Rao who is from the state said on Twitter that he had spoken with govern-ment medical experts and that the
ldquomost likely cause is poisonous organochlorine substancesrdquo
ldquoIt is one of the possibilitiesrdquo said Geeta Prasadini a public health director in Andhra Pradesh state adding they were awaiting test reports to ascertain the cause
She said no new serious cases have come to light in the past 24 hours A 45-year-old man died over the weekend
Organochlorines here are banned or restricted in many countries after research linked them to cancer and other poten-tial health risks However some of the pollutants remain in the environment for years and build up in animal and human body fat

NEW DELHI - Thousands of Indian farmers angered by farm laws that they say threaten their livelihoods have intensified their protests by blocking highways and camping out on the outskirts of the capital Delhi
The government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and leaders of protesting farmersrsquo unions have held several rounds of talks but have not made any progress in breaking the dead-
lock over the set of laws passed by parliament in September
Although various farmer unions have supported the pro-test the agitation is largely led by the growers of relatively well-off states of Punjab and Haryana in Indiarsquos north
Every year the Indian govern-ment spends billions of dollars on buying millions of tonnes of rice and wheat from Punjab and Haryana and the worldrsquos most expensive food procure-ment program has now become
the centrepiece of Indiarsquos biggest farmersrsquo protest in years
After calculating the cost of cultivation the state-run Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP) an-nounces Minimum Support Prices (MSPs) for more than 22 commodities yearly to set a benchmark
Although every year the CACP announces MSPs for most crops the Food Corporation of India (FCI) the main state-run
grain procurement agency buys only rice and wheat at those pric-es due to a lack of storage and funds
After buying rice and wheat from farmers at MSPs the FCI sells the staples at highly sub-sidised prices to the poor The government compensates the FCI for its losses
Guaranteed prices offered by the FCI encourage farmers to pro-duce large quantities of rice and wheat Higher production puts
pressure on the FCI to buy extra supplies from farmers resulting in overflowing state warehouses and a ballooning subsidy bill that often pushes up the budget deficit
Despite sitting on massive mounds of rice and wheat the FCI finds it challenging to export as the annual rise in MSPs and its own storage costs make FCIrsquos rice and wheat more expen-sive than world prices making overseas sales uneconomic
Indiarsquos multi-billion dollar food program is at the heart of farmersrsquo protests

Farmers protest against the newly passed farm bills at Singhu border near Delhi India on December 4 2020
India formally protests to Canada over Trudeau remarks on farm protests
By Sanjeev Miglani
NEW DELHI - India sum-moned Canadarsquos ambassador last Friday and said comments made by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over protests by farm-ers near Delhi were an interfer-ence in its domestic affairs and would seriously hurt bilateral ties
Trudeau speaking to the In-dian community in Canada said this week that he was concerned about the farmers most of them from the Sikh-dominated state of Punjab camped out on the
outskirts of Delhi in a protest against farm reforms
The Indian foreign ministry said in a statement that com-ments on ldquoissues relating to In-dian farmers constitute an un-acceptable interference in our internal affairsrdquo
India and Canada have warm ties but in recent years there has been concern in India that some Sikh leaders in Canada have ties to separatist groups hostile to India
Canada is home to an influen-tial Sikh community and Indian leaders say there are some fringe
groups there that are still sympa-thetic to the cause of an indepen-dent Sikh state called Khalistan carved out of India
The Indian foreign ministry said comments made by Trudeau and other leaders had embold-ened radical groups and they were a risk to its diplomatic staff based in Canada
ldquoWe expect the Canadian Government to ensure the full-est security of Indian diplomatic personnel and its political lead-ers to refrain from pronounce-ments that legitimize extremist activismrdquo it said

MOVIE REVIEW
Itrsquos been eight months since
the last big Hindi film Angrezi Medium hit screens Once the lockdown kicked in films be-gan to go online even the ones starring A-listers But produc-ers of some small films decided to wait for cinemas to reopen Last month cinemas finally got the go-ahead in most parts of the country while on November 5 the prime state of Maharashtra too gave its nod This prompted Zee Studios to release Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari on Diwali on the big screen The trailer of the film has been impressive and carries a good vibe So does Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari manage to en-tertain and give viewers a good time Or does it falter Letrsquos analyse
Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari is the story of a feud between a wedding detective and a dairy owner The year is 1995 Suraj Singh Dhillon (Diljit Dosanjh) is a single guy from Mumbai and the heir of Jai Mata Rani Doodh Bhandar He lives with his fa-ther Gurnaam Dhillon (Manoj Pahwa) mother Yeshodha Dhil-lon (Seema Pahwa) and sister Guddi (Vanshika Sharma) His parents are looking for a right match but their efforts are futile
Surajs sidekick Sukhi (Manuj Sharma) tells him to be cool and a bad boy and that it would help attract girls Suraj likes the idea and as part of his stint as a cool bad boy he breaks the traf-fic signal and consumes alcohol in front of a girlrsquos college Mean-while his parents find a match for him An excited Suraj goes to the girlrsquos house with his par-ents But the girlrsquos parents refuse their proposal because they had the pictures of Suraj while he was in his bad boy avatar Suraj is dejected and is dying to know who clicked his pictures after all After cajoling the Pandit Dubey ji (Neeraj Sood) he gets to know that itrsquos none other than Madhu Mangal Rane (Manoj Bajpayee) a wedding detective He believes itrsquos his job to find flaws in the to-be grooms and thus save the lives of gullible girls and their families Suraj wants revenge but doesnrsquot know how He then realizes that Mangal has a sis-ter Tulshi Rane (Fatima Sana Shaikh) He decides to fake a relationship with her in order to get back at Mangal However he falls for her in real He expresses his love to Tulshi She however is hiding a shocking secret about her life and passion This secret gives Suraj the much needed op-portunity to damage Mangals reputation At the same time it can also dent his marriage pros-pects with Tulshi What happens next forms the rest of the film
Shokhi Banerjees story is very interesting and entertaining One might feel that the makers revealed almost the whole plot in the trailer But thatrsquos not the case as the film has a lot more to of-fer Rohan Shankars screenplay is entertaining for most parts The various twists and dramatic points are well fleshed out How-ever a few rough edges remain Also the humour quotient is lim-ited Rohan Shankars dialogues are hilarious and a few of them are sure to induce claps
Abhishek Sharmas direction is neat He deserves brownie
points for keeping the mood of the film light from start to finish The film never gets too heavy even in no-nonsense situations Also the film is replete with some very quirky characters and he makes good use of them to add to the fun Moreover the film cel-ebrates the Marathi culture and the middle-class lifestyle of the city It fondly also reminds one of the simple slice-of-life films made by Hrishikesh Mukherjee and Basu Chatterjee On the flip-side some of the portions of the first half arenrsquot upto the mark es-pecially the lsquoBad Boyrsquo sequence A few developments are hard to digest especially the track of the professor deciding not to take any action against his wife despite the latter cheating on him Also the manner in which Madhu plans the breaking off the engagement ceremony of his sister is a bit too much Mangalrsquos change of heart
in the climax also comes across as very unconvincing Thank-fully the Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge [1995] inspired climax makes up for it
Anshuman Mahaleys cin-ematography is first-rate Rajat Poddars production design is authentic and reminds one of the 90s Vijay Gangulys choreogra-phy is appealing in Basanti Jia Bhagia and Mallika Chauhans costumes are realistic for all the characters Fatemarsquos clothes however donrsquot seem to be of 1995 but nevertheless looks glamorous Rameshwar Bhagats editing is fair
On the whole Suraj Pe Man-gal Bhari is a decent entertain-er and a clean family film that works because of its plot the depiction of the mid-90s era and the performances

WASHINGTON - IBM and US offi cials are sounding the alarm over hackers targeting companies critical to the distribu-tion of COVID-19 vaccines
IBM said last Thursday that the campaign was a sign that digital spies are turning their attention to the complex logistical work in-volved in inoculating the worldrsquos population against the novel coronavirus although some out-side experts questioned whether that was the hackersrsquo focus
In a blog post here published last Thursday IBM said it had uncovered ldquoa global phishing campaignrdquo focused on organi-zations associated with the CO-VID-19 vaccine ldquocold chainrdquo - the process needed to keep vaccine doses at extremely cold temperatures as they travel from manufacturers to peoplersquos arms
The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency reposted the report warning here members of Operation Warp Speed - the US governmentrsquos
national vaccine mission - to be on the lookout
Other cybsecurity experts expressed some skepticism however of IBMrsquos fi ndings
Joe Slowik a researcher at on-line threat intelligence fi rm Do-mainTools said he believed IBM had stumbled upon ldquoa subset of activityrdquo that was part of a much wider campaign ldquowhich may not be focused on vaccines or similar activityrdquo
While ldquodefi nitely maliciousrdquo Slowik said he was not convinced it was specifi cally focused on vaccine distribution
Who is behind the espionage is not clear Messages sent to the email addresses used by the hackers were not returned
Understanding how to build a secure cold chain is fundamental to distributing vaccines devel-oped by the likes of Pfi zer Inc and BioNTech because the shots need to be stored at minus 70 de-grees Celsius (-94 F) or below to avoid spoiling
Hackers target groups in COVID-19 vaccine distribution says IBM
IBMrsquos cybersecurity unit said it had detected an advanced group of hackers working to gather in-formation about diff erent aspects of the cold chain using meticu-lously crafted booby-trapped emails sent in the name of an ex-ecutive with Haier Biomedical a Chinese cold chain provider that specializes in vaccine transport
and biological sample storageHaier Medical did not return
messages seeking commentTargets included companies
involved in the manufacture of solar panels which are used to power vaccine refrigerators in warm countries and petrochemi-cal products that could be used to derive dry ice
Amazon eyes potential $100 million investment in Indiarsquos Apollo Pharmacy
BENGALURU - Amazoncom Inc is considering a nearly $100 million investment in In-diarsquos pharmacy chain Apollo Pharmacy facing up to Reliance Industries Ltd and Tata Group in the countryrsquos fast-growing drug market the Economic Times re-ported on Wednesday citing two people aware of the plans
Amazon already delivers med-icines in India and the potential investment would come amid rising competition from Muke-sh Ambanirsquos Reliance which bought a majority stake in online pharmacy Netmeds
Tata Group here meanwhile
was reportedly in talks to pick up a majority stake in e-pharma-cy fi rm 1mg
Both Amazon and Apollo Hospitals which owns Apollo Pharmacy declined to comment
The growth of e-pharmacies however has left many Indian trader groups feeling threatened who say online drugstores can contribute to medicine sales without proper verifi cation and the entry of large players can cause unemployment in the sector
Amazonrsquos plan to further ex-pand in India also comes close on the heels of its launch of an online pharmacy to deliver pre-scription drugs in the United States increasing competi-tion with drug retailers such as Walgreens CVS Health and Walmart

NEW YORK - Indiarsquos econ-omy will return to growth in 202122 after a sharp con-traction in the latest year and higher public spending will lay the foundation for stronger growth in the next four to five years Finance Minister Nirma-la Sitharaman told Reuters last Thursday
With the worldrsquos second high-est number of coronavirus cases despite a severe lockdown of its 13 billion people early in the pandemic Indiarsquos economy is expected to contract nearly 10 in the 202021 financial year
But a recovery is taking hold now Sitharaman told the Reuters Global Investment Outlook Summit 2021
ldquoI would think 2021-22 will be very big good traction year
Indiarsquos economy on the rebound govt focuses on spending Sitharamanfor achieving a really good rate of growth that itself is going to be a launching pad for 4-5 years of growing at a good speed pro-vided we do enough on the bud-get and spend on infrastructurerdquo she said She gave no numbers about how big a government spending increase she planned to propose
Because the Indian govern-ment was concerned about its budget deficit its stimulus to
fight the economic slump during the pandemic was more mod-est than those of other countries such as the United States Japan and the United Kingdom
Sitharaman suggested the government should spend more in the months ahead to boost the growth rate
ldquoI have to be conscious that if I donrsquot spend now then the stim-ulus is meaningless if I donrsquot spend now the revival is going to get deferred and we canrsquot afford thatrdquo
The pace of the recovery would however depend on de-
velopment and adequate sup-ply of coronavirus vaccines economists say
India does not yet have a vac-cine purchase contract with any company but has said it will rely mainly on five being tested in the country including the Oxford-AstraZeneca one and Russiarsquos Sputnik V
Sitharaman said the govern-ment was bulking up the logis-tics including sufficient cold storage facilities to ensure de-livery of the vaccine down to the village councils across the country
RBI holds rates says will ensure ample liquidityMUMBAI - The Reserve Bank
of India (RBI) kept its key interest rates steady as widely expected last Friday amid persistently high inflation but said it will ensure ample liquidity is provided to stressed sectors to keep a nascent economic recovery on track
Its monetary policy committee decided to retain an accommoda-tive policy stance at least for the current financial year and into the next to revive growth on a du-rable basis while ensuring that inflation remains within target Governor Shaktikanta Das said in an online briefing
Das said the economy was re-bounding faster than expected
from a coronavirus-induced slump earlier in the year but warned signs of recovery were far from being broad based CO-VID-19 infections are also con-tinuing to climb with the tally now 957 million people
Das said MPC members voted unanimously to hold rates and re-tain the stance The key lending rate of the RBI or the repo rate was left unchanged at 4 while the reverse repo rate or the key borrowing rate stayed at 335
ldquoThe MPC is of the view that inflation is likely to remain el-evated barring transient relief in the winter months from prices of perishablesrdquo Das said
ldquoThis constrains monetary pol-icy at the current juncture from using the space available to act in support of growthrdquo
Indian stocks extended earlier gains to hit record highs after the decision while the Indian rupee strengthened slightly to 7376 against the dollar The bench-mark 10-year bond yield fell 3 basis points to 590
Das announced measures to help improve access to funding for stressed sectors and said the RBI will take further steps when necessary to ensure ample rupee liquidity to sustain visible growth impulses without impacting inflation

Telemarketing fraudster pleads guiltyPROVIDENCE RI - An Indian
national last week admitted to a federal judge in Providence that he participated in a wide-ranging conspiracy based in India to de-fraud United States citizens pri-marily seniors by telling victims that malware had been detected on their computers and based on that falsehood induced the vic-tims to direct money to him and his co-conspirators as payment for purported computer protection services that were not needed or ever provided
The conspirators in fact did not detect malware on victimsrsquo computers and accepted payment without providing any protection services
Himanshu Asri 33 of Delhi In-dia admitted that he had 325 call-ers routed to call centers in India where call center operators falsely reasserted to victims that malware had been detected on their com-puters and offered the victims purported computer protection services in exchange for payment The purpose of the false assertions was to induce people into routing money to the fraudsters
According to information pre-sented to the court from as far back as January 2015 through January 2020 Asri and others working together collected in
total approximately $940995 from victims through their fraud and attempted to collect between $1500000 and $3000000 The actual loss was less than the in-tended loss because some of those who were targeted by Asri and his coconspirators did not send any funds to the fraudsters
According to information pre-sented to the court the govern-ment and the defendant agree that many of Asrirsquos victims were vulnerable to fraud schemes due to age or infirmity and the parties agree that the scheme pursued by Asri and his coconspirators were structured to exploit such persons specifically persons over the age of 65
Appearing last week before
US District Court Chief Judge John J McConnell Jr Asri pleaded guilty to wire fraud con-spiracy announced United States Attorney Aaron L Weisman and Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Boston Division Joseph R Bonavolonta
Asri the 4th India-based tele-marketing fraudster to be convict-ed in federal court in Rhode Island in the past three months is sched-uled to be sentenced on February 18 2021 Wire fraud conspiracy is punishable by statutory penalties of up to 20 years in prison three years of supervised release and a fine of $250000
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant US Attorney Milind M Shah

Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine data wins backing of FDA authorization nears
By Manas Mishra Michael Erman and Rebecca Spalding
Pfi zer Inc cleared the next hurdle in the race to get its COVID-19 vaccine ap-proved for emergency use on Tuesday after the US Food and Drug Administra-tion (FDA) released documents that raised no new issues about its safety or effi cacy
Pfi zer and German partner BioNTech SE said last month their coronavirus vac-cinersquos two-dose regimen was 95 eff ec-tive against COVID-19 and had no ma-jor safety issues and asked the FDA for emergency use authorization
The vaccinersquos effi cacy and safety data met its expectations for emergency use authorization FDA staff said in docu-ments released ahead of a Thursday meet-ing of outside experts to the FDA who will discuss whether to recommend the Pfi zer
shot for people aged 16 and olderJeff eries analyst Michael Yee said in
research note the documents were ldquovery simple and straightforward which we think will lead to approval imminentlyrdquo
The agency typically follows the rec-ommendations of its advisory panels but is not required to do so It is not clear how many days or weeks the FDA will take to make a decision but states are prepping for vaccine deliveries in mid-December
The documents were released on the day Britons began getting the Pfi zerBi-oNTech vaccine the worldrsquos fi rst recipi-ents outside of clinical trials
ldquoThere are no surprises here The ef-fi cacy and the safety is consistent with what we heard and what we hoped for It does look like the vaccine is safe at least in the short termrdquo said Dr Daniel Culver chair of Pulmonary Medicine at Cleveland Clinic in an interview He said the data showing it was as eff ective in older people as in younger people was reassuring
Pfi zer shares rose nearly 2 and BioN-Techrsquos US shares were up 25 in early trading
Pfi zer Chief Executive Albert Bourla said on Tuesday he expects a ldquovery in-tenserdquo meeting with a US vaccine advi-sory panel this week but is counting on the panel of outside experts to sign off on his companyrsquos COVID-19 vaccine candi-date
ldquoI think they will vote lsquoyesrsquo given the strength of the datardquo Bourla said at a
conference hosted by a pharmaceutical industry group
PROTECTION AFTER ONE SHOTData from the trial showed that the vac-
cine began conferring some protection to recipients even before they received the sec-ond shot the FDA said The eff ect became most pronounced about 14 days after people received the fi rst shot
The agencyrsquos staff noted that more data would be needed to assess the potential of a single-dose shot It said that the effi cacy after dose 1 and before dose 2 was around 52 percent
A two-dose vaccination was highly eff ec-tive in preventing confi rmed cases of COV-ID-19 at least seven days after the last dose FDA staff said
The FDA staff also said that available data while limited suggested the people who had been previously infected with the new coronavirus could benefi t from vac-
cination Very few cases of confi rmed CO-VID-19 occurred among participants with evidence of infection prior to vaccination though more of those that did were in the placebo group than the vaccine group the staff said
FDA staff also said that the trial which was designed to look at eff ectiveness against COVID-19 did not produce data to answer the question of if it also stopped infection
In terms of safety the FDA staff said there was currently insuffi cient data to make conclusions about the safety of the vaccine in people below 16 years of age pregnant women and those with compromised immune systems
There were a total of six deaths in the 44000 person trial with two deaths among those who got the vaccine and the rest in those who received a placebo the docu-ments showed All deaths represent events that occur in the general population at a similar rate FDA staff said

NEW YORK - Companies and industry groups lobbying to get their US workers to the front of the line for COVID vaccination are running into a patchwork of state plans and confusion over who is essential and who is not
Inoculation against the disease caused by the novel coronavirus is key to safely reopening large parts of the economy and reduc-ing the risks of illness at crowd-ed meatpacking plants factories and warehouses
But before one needle has en-tered the arm of an American
worker confusion has broken out over who exactly is consid-ered essential during a pandemic
With initial vaccine doses limited and strong federal guid-ance lacking it has fallen to US states to determine who will be first in line to receive a vaccine and who will have to wait well into next year
State vaccine distribution plans reviewed by Reuters showed broad discrepancies over who would be considered essential with some states clearly outlin-ing specific worker groups and
others not providing any clarityGenerally states have broad
discretion when it comes to vac-cine distribution and policy and are able to issue vaccination mandates for their residents
Many states have so far fol-lowed federal guidance to give meat and food processing indus-try workers space in the line but some are slowly moving away said Mark Lauritsen a former hog slaughter worker who now advocates on behalf of about
250000 meatpacking and food processing workers under the United Food and Commercial Workers union
ldquoFor example Colorado has not moved meatpacking and meat-processing as high as some other states So wersquoll be directing a lot of our effort towards places like Colorado where we may be moved down the food chainrdquo
ldquoWersquore a union that has mem-bers in every state so we will be talking to every state to make
our case as to where our place in line should beEverybody is go-ing to be jockeying for a place in linerdquo
More than 20 large industries have urged officials to prioritize their workers including individ-ual companies such as ride-hail-ing company Uber Technologies Inc and food delivery provider DoorDash Inc and industry groups representing truck driv-ers teachers retail workers and other business sectors
As US companies push to get workers vaccinated states disagree on whorsquos essential
Companies and industry groups lobbying to get their US workers to the front of the line for COVID vaccination are running into a patchwork of state plans and confusion over who is essential and who is not

California becomes biggest US stateto launch virus contact-tracing app
OAKLAND - California on Monday announced an app to help people track their exposure to the coronavirus becoming the big-gest US state to take advantage of new technology from smart-phone software makers Apple Inc and Alphabet Incrsquos Google
Beginning on Thursday people in California can activate the ex-posure notifications tool from the settings menu on iPhones or by downloading the CA Notify App in the Google Play store on Android devices
The apps enable Bluetooth sig-nals between devices to determine
when they are in close proximity and the apps then anonymously alert users when a recent contact later tests positive At least 6 mil-lion people in the United States have tried the system in recent months across the 21 states and two territories that made apps available before California Colo-rado and New York are among other states with apps
Public health experts say adop-tion has lagged because of tech-nical shortcomings in the earliest apps privacy concerns and dis-missive attitudes toward taking precautions to avoid the virus
But California officials hope the app will be adopted quickly in a state that is home to many tech workers
The statersquos two most densely inhabited regions and its agri-cultural breadbasket went under stay-at-home orders in the last couple of days as the pandem-ic strains hospitals in the most populous US state
CA Notify had been tested on state university campuses since September The University of California San Diego will contin-ue to oversee the system and staff a user support phone hotline

India can bank on match-winner Pandya for next five years Kohli
SYDNEY - India captain Vi-rat Kohli has identified Har-dik Pandya as their ldquobankablerdquo match-winner for the next four to five years after the all-rounder dazzled in their series-clinching Twenty20 Interna-tional victory over Australia on Sunday
India needed 25 runs off the last two overs and Pandya deliv-ered in style smashing two sixes in the final over to secure a six-wicket victory with two balls to spare
ldquoHe has natural raw talent and now hersquos quite experienced having played quite a bit of T20 cricket in the IPL (Indian Pre-mier League) and playing for In-dia toordquo Kohli said after Indiarsquos second successive win in the three-match series
ldquoNow he realises that this is his time the next four-five years to become that bankable middle-order player that can win you games from anywhere
ldquoYou need that finisher and hersquos becoming that for us Hersquos
hungry hersquos got to keep getting betterrdquo
Pandya whose 42 not out off 22 balls earned him the Man of the Match award showed no signs of nerves even as the ask-ing run rate spiralled
ldquoI always believe as a cricket-er you have to improve with time
and I have taken some time but I think things are coming pretty well nowrdquo said the 27-year- old
ldquoNow my biggest goal (is) that I want to finish games where it matters the mostrdquo
Pandya said he was happy to bat wherever the team need him
ldquoIf time comes when I have to bat number four I donrsquot mindrdquo he added ldquoIf time comes where I have to finish the game I have to do that job as well whatever the team requiresrdquo
Tuesdayrsquos final Twenty20 match will also be played at the Sydney Cricket Ground

Rahane gets century boost ahead of key test role in Australia
SYDNEY - Indiarsquos Ajinkya Ra-hane crafted an unbeaten century in a warm-up match on Sunday to give himself a timely boost ahead of his major responsibility in the four-test series against Australia beginning later this month
With regular skipper Virat Kohli set to return home after the opening test in Adelaide to attend the birth of his first child Rahane will be in charge in the final three matches in Australia
The right-handed batsman made 108 not out to help the tour-ists overcome a top order wobble and reach 237-8 on day one of the three-day match against Australia A at Drummoyne Oval
Rahane hit 16 boundaries and a six an upper cut against James
Pattinson to reach the half-centu-ry mark
Number three Cheteshwar Pu-jara who was awarded man-of-
the-series when India won their maiden test series in Australia two seasons ago also spent qual-ity time in the middle and scored 54
While Rahane played in the recent Indian Premier League (IPL) in the United Arab Emir-ates this was Pujararsquos first com-petitive outing since a domestic Ranji Trophy match in early March
Pujara lasted 140 balls before falling to Pattinson who claimed 3-58 to signal his own prepared-ness for the test series
It was a mixed outing for the tourists as three of their top six batsmen including openers Prithvi Shaw and Shubman Gill fell for ducks

India Bulletin Saturday December 12 2020
By Sophia Tareen
CHICAGO (AP) - A federal judge struck down two Trump administra-tion rules designed to drastically curtail the number of visas issued each year to skilled foreign workers
The changes applying to the H-1B visa program announced in October include imposing salary requirements on compa-nies employing skilled overseas workers and limits on specialty occupations De-partment of Homeland Security officials deemed it a priority because of corona-virus-related job losses and estimated as many as one-third of those who have ap-plied for H-1Brsquos in recent years would be denied under the new rules
US District Judge Jeffrey White in
California said the government didnrsquot fol-low transparency procedures and its con-tention that the changes were an emergen-cy response to pandemic job losses didnrsquot hold water because the Trump adminis-tration has floated the idea for some time but only published the rules in October
ldquoThe COVID-19 pandemic is an event beyond defendantsrsquo control yet it was within defendantsrsquo control to take action earlier than they didrdquo White wrote
The US issues up to 85000 H-1B vi-sas each year in sectors including tech-nology engineering and medicine Usu-ally theyrsquore issued for three years and renewable Most of the nearly 600000 H-1B visa holders in the US are from India and China
The H-1B rules announced weeks
before the election were part of President Donald Trumprsquos wider agenda to curb nearly all forms of immigration In June he issued an order temporarily suspend-ing the H-1B program until the end of the year
The US Chamber of Commerce and universities including the California In-stitute of Technology sued in California arguing there wasnrsquot adequate notice or time for the public to comment on the changes They also said the rules par-ticularly related to requiring a prevail-ing wage for visa-holders would have a drastic impact on new hires and ldquosever the employment relationship of hundreds of thousands of existing employees in the United Statesrdquo
The University of Utah cited an ex-ample where an H-1B employee seeking renewal was paid an $80000 salary but would have to be paid $208000 under the new rule
The judge agreed that the federal gov-ernment didnrsquot make a case for imple-menting the rules under the Admin-istrative Procedure Act which makes agencies accountable to the public by requiring a detailed process for enacting regulations
ldquoDefendants failed to show there was good cause to dispense with the ratio-

San Jose man sentenced to two years imprisonment for damaging Ciscorsquos networkSAN JOSE - Sudhish Kasaba Ramesh
was sentenced on Wednesday to 24 months in prison and ordered to pay a $15000 fine for intentionally accessing a protected computer without authorization and reck-lessly causing damage announced United States Attorney David L Anderson and Federal Bureau of Investigation Special Agent in Charge Craig D Fair
Ramesh 31 of San Jose pleaded guilty on August 26 2020 to one count of in-tentionally accessing a protected computer without authorization and recklessly caus-ing damage to Cisco Ramesh worked for Cisco but resigned in approximately April 2018 According to the plea agreement Ramesh admitted to intentionally access-ing the Cisco Systems cloud infrastructure that was hosted by Amazon Web Services without Ciscorsquos permission on September 24 2018
Ramesh further admitted that during his unauthorized access he deployed a code from his Google Cloud Project account
that resulted in the deletion of 456 vir-tual machines for Ciscorsquos WebEx Teams application which provides video meet-ings video messaging file sharing and other collaboration tools He admitted that he acted recklessly in deploying the code and consciously disregarded the sub-stantial risk that his conduct would harm Cisco
As a result of Rameshrsquos conduct over 16000 WebEx Teams accounts were shut down for up to two weeks and caused Cis-co to spend approximately $1400000 in employee time to restore the damage to the application and refund over $1000000 to affected customers No customer data was compromised as a result of the defendantrsquos conduct
Ramesh was sentenced to serve a one-year period of supervised release follow-ing the 24 months in prison and to pay a $15000 fine The defendant is out of cus-tody and will begin serving the sentence on February 10 2021
nal and thoughtful discourse that is pro-vided by the APArsquos notice and comment requirementsrdquo White wrote
The rule on wages proposed by the De-partment of Labor took effect in October while the Homeland Security rule on oc-cupations and other issues was supposed to take effect last Monday It also would have placed limits on ldquooffsiterdquo firms that employ and contract out H-1B visa hold-ers to other companies their visas would have been limited to one year at a time
ldquoThis is incredibly important deci-sion to preserve the H-1B programrdquo said attorney Paul Hughes who repre-sented the plaintiffs ldquoThis ruling en-ables those individuals to maintain their jobs and their families in the United Statesrdquo
The Chamber of Commerce said in a statement that the ruling ldquohas many com-panies across various industries breath-ing a huge sigh of reliefrdquo with the visa changes having ldquothe potential to be in-credibly disruptive to the operations of many businessesrdquo
Messages left for spokespeople with the Labor and Homeland Security depart-ments werenrsquot immediately returned
The wage rule has prompted at least two other federal lawsuits in New Jersey and Washington DC

Owner and operator of India-based call centers sentenced to prison for scamming US victims out of millions of dollars
lions of dollars by spearheading a conspiracy whose members boldly impersonated federal government of-ficials and preyed on victimsrsquo fears of adverse government actionrdquo said Act-ing Attorney General Brian C Rabbitt of the Justice Departmentrsquos Criminal Division
ldquoSince 2013 American taxpayers have been subjected to unprecedented attempts to fraudulently obtain money by individ-uals utilizing Indian call centers to imper-sonate IRS employees and scam Ameri-can taxpayersrdquo said J Russell George the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA)
According to admissions in his plea agreement Patel and his co-conspirators perpetrated a complex scheme in which employees from call centers in Ahmed-abad India impersonated officials from the IRS and US Citizenship and Immi-gration Services (USCIS) and engaged in other telephone call scams designed to defraud victims throughout the United States US victims were threatened with arrest imprisonment fines or deportation if they did not pay alleged monies owed to the government Those who fell victim were instructed how to provide payment including by purchasing general purpose reloadable (GPR) cards or wiring money Upon payment the call centers would im-
mediately turn to a network of ldquorunnersrdquo based in the United States to liquidate and launder the fraudulently obtained funds
A co-defendant described Patel as ldquothe top person in India and the boss for whom most of the other defendants workedrdquo and the owner of multiple call centers Another co-defendant stated that Patel was arrested in India in 2016 but then paid a bribe and was released Addi-tionally Patel admitted that a reasonably foreseeable loss of more than $25 million
but less than $65 million was attribut-able to him based on the governmentrsquos evidence against him
Patel was prosecuted in the United States after being extradited from Singa-pore in April 2019 to face charges in this large-scale telefraud and money launder-ing scheme Singapore authorities appre-hended Patel at the request of the United States pursuant to a provisional arrest warrant in September 2018 after Patel flew there from India

WASHINGTON DC - Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Ajit Pai who oversaw the repeal of landmark US net neutrality rules and a series of key spectrum auctions to address growing wireless needs said he plans to leave the commission on Jan 20
Pairsquos departure will come the same day President-elect Joe Biden is sworn into office Under
Pai the FCC voted 3-2 in 2017 to repeal the Obama administra-tionrsquos 2015 net neutrality rules barring internet service providers (ISPs) from blocking or slowing internet content or offering paid ldquofast lanesrdquo
The FCC voted in October to maintain the repeal ldquoIt is pa-tently obvious to all but the most devoted members of the net neu-trality cult that the case against the (net neutrality repeal) was a shamrdquo Pai said in October
FCC chairman Ajit Pai plans to step down Democrats are likely to attempt
to reinstate the 2015 rules when they take control of the FCC and argue they are crucial to main-taining an open internet
Pai who was tapped by Presi-dent Donald Trump to lead the agency in January 2017 had said the FCC needed to take a ldquoweed whackerrdquo to unneeded rules He oversaw the repeal of numerous prior regulations
Trump has pressed the FCC to adopt new rules to limit the legal
protections of social media com-panies like Twitter
Pai said in October his agency would move forward to set new rules to clarify the meaning of a key legal protection for social media companies but took no for-mal action
The Senate Commerce Com-mittee is set to vote on the nomi-nation of Nathan Simington a senior administration official to a seat on the FCC after Trump withdrew the nomination of FCC Commissioner Mike OrsquoRielly for another term after he made statements questioning the FCCrsquos
authority to move ahead with new social media regulations
In October 2017 Pai rejected Trumprsquos tweet the FCC could challenge the license of Comcast Corprsquos NBC over stories Trump asserted were not true
Pai convinced hundreds of internet providers to agree for months not to cancel service for customers impacted by the coronavirus pandemic
Pai also backed the $26 bil-lion tie-up of Sprint Corp and T-Mobile US after the companies agreed to deploy a next genera-tion 5G network

Indian doctors find lead nickel in blood samples after hundreds suffer mystery illness
By Jatindra Dashand Sudarshan Varadhan
BHUBANESWAR - Indian authorities said on Tuesday they found traces of lead and nickel particles in blood samples after hundreds of people were hospi-talised due to an unknown illness in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh
Teams of doctors including those from New Delhirsquos premier All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) are investigat-ing the death of one person and hospitalisation of more than 400 in the past few days
Andhra Pradeshrsquos state govern-ment said on Tuesday the AIIMS
team had found traces of lead and nickel in their samples while a second hospital is also running similar tests
The illness has infected more than 300 children with most of them suffering from dizzi-ness fainting spells headaches and vomiting They have tested negative for COVID-19
High levels of lead in the bloodstream can impair develop-ment of brains nervous systems and vital organs such as heart and lungs
Earlier on Tuesday federal law-maker GVL Narasimha Rao who is from the state said on Twitter that he had spoken with govern-ment medical experts and that the
ldquomost likely cause is poisonous organochlorine substancesrdquo
ldquoIt is one of the possibilitiesrdquo said Geeta Prasadini a public health director in Andhra Pradesh state adding they were awaiting test reports to ascertain the cause
She said no new serious cases have come to light in the past 24 hours A 45-year-old man died over the weekend
Organochlorines here are banned or restricted in many countries after research linked them to cancer and other poten-tial health risks However some of the pollutants remain in the environment for years and build up in animal and human body fat

NEW DELHI - Thousands of Indian farmers angered by farm laws that they say threaten their livelihoods have intensified their protests by blocking highways and camping out on the outskirts of the capital Delhi
The government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and leaders of protesting farmersrsquo unions have held several rounds of talks but have not made any progress in breaking the dead-
lock over the set of laws passed by parliament in September
Although various farmer unions have supported the pro-test the agitation is largely led by the growers of relatively well-off states of Punjab and Haryana in Indiarsquos north
Every year the Indian govern-ment spends billions of dollars on buying millions of tonnes of rice and wheat from Punjab and Haryana and the worldrsquos most expensive food procure-ment program has now become
the centrepiece of Indiarsquos biggest farmersrsquo protest in years
After calculating the cost of cultivation the state-run Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP) an-nounces Minimum Support Prices (MSPs) for more than 22 commodities yearly to set a benchmark
Although every year the CACP announces MSPs for most crops the Food Corporation of India (FCI) the main state-run
grain procurement agency buys only rice and wheat at those pric-es due to a lack of storage and funds
After buying rice and wheat from farmers at MSPs the FCI sells the staples at highly sub-sidised prices to the poor The government compensates the FCI for its losses
Guaranteed prices offered by the FCI encourage farmers to pro-duce large quantities of rice and wheat Higher production puts
pressure on the FCI to buy extra supplies from farmers resulting in overflowing state warehouses and a ballooning subsidy bill that often pushes up the budget deficit
Despite sitting on massive mounds of rice and wheat the FCI finds it challenging to export as the annual rise in MSPs and its own storage costs make FCIrsquos rice and wheat more expen-sive than world prices making overseas sales uneconomic
Indiarsquos multi-billion dollar food program is at the heart of farmersrsquo protests

Farmers protest against the newly passed farm bills at Singhu border near Delhi India on December 4 2020
India formally protests to Canada over Trudeau remarks on farm protests
By Sanjeev Miglani
NEW DELHI - India sum-moned Canadarsquos ambassador last Friday and said comments made by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over protests by farm-ers near Delhi were an interfer-ence in its domestic affairs and would seriously hurt bilateral ties
Trudeau speaking to the In-dian community in Canada said this week that he was concerned about the farmers most of them from the Sikh-dominated state of Punjab camped out on the
outskirts of Delhi in a protest against farm reforms
The Indian foreign ministry said in a statement that com-ments on ldquoissues relating to In-dian farmers constitute an un-acceptable interference in our internal affairsrdquo
India and Canada have warm ties but in recent years there has been concern in India that some Sikh leaders in Canada have ties to separatist groups hostile to India
Canada is home to an influen-tial Sikh community and Indian leaders say there are some fringe
groups there that are still sympa-thetic to the cause of an indepen-dent Sikh state called Khalistan carved out of India
The Indian foreign ministry said comments made by Trudeau and other leaders had embold-ened radical groups and they were a risk to its diplomatic staff based in Canada
ldquoWe expect the Canadian Government to ensure the full-est security of Indian diplomatic personnel and its political lead-ers to refrain from pronounce-ments that legitimize extremist activismrdquo it said

MOVIE REVIEW
Itrsquos been eight months since
the last big Hindi film Angrezi Medium hit screens Once the lockdown kicked in films be-gan to go online even the ones starring A-listers But produc-ers of some small films decided to wait for cinemas to reopen Last month cinemas finally got the go-ahead in most parts of the country while on November 5 the prime state of Maharashtra too gave its nod This prompted Zee Studios to release Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari on Diwali on the big screen The trailer of the film has been impressive and carries a good vibe So does Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari manage to en-tertain and give viewers a good time Or does it falter Letrsquos analyse
Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari is the story of a feud between a wedding detective and a dairy owner The year is 1995 Suraj Singh Dhillon (Diljit Dosanjh) is a single guy from Mumbai and the heir of Jai Mata Rani Doodh Bhandar He lives with his fa-ther Gurnaam Dhillon (Manoj Pahwa) mother Yeshodha Dhil-lon (Seema Pahwa) and sister Guddi (Vanshika Sharma) His parents are looking for a right match but their efforts are futile
Surajs sidekick Sukhi (Manuj Sharma) tells him to be cool and a bad boy and that it would help attract girls Suraj likes the idea and as part of his stint as a cool bad boy he breaks the traf-fic signal and consumes alcohol in front of a girlrsquos college Mean-while his parents find a match for him An excited Suraj goes to the girlrsquos house with his par-ents But the girlrsquos parents refuse their proposal because they had the pictures of Suraj while he was in his bad boy avatar Suraj is dejected and is dying to know who clicked his pictures after all After cajoling the Pandit Dubey ji (Neeraj Sood) he gets to know that itrsquos none other than Madhu Mangal Rane (Manoj Bajpayee) a wedding detective He believes itrsquos his job to find flaws in the to-be grooms and thus save the lives of gullible girls and their families Suraj wants revenge but doesnrsquot know how He then realizes that Mangal has a sis-ter Tulshi Rane (Fatima Sana Shaikh) He decides to fake a relationship with her in order to get back at Mangal However he falls for her in real He expresses his love to Tulshi She however is hiding a shocking secret about her life and passion This secret gives Suraj the much needed op-portunity to damage Mangals reputation At the same time it can also dent his marriage pros-pects with Tulshi What happens next forms the rest of the film
Shokhi Banerjees story is very interesting and entertaining One might feel that the makers revealed almost the whole plot in the trailer But thatrsquos not the case as the film has a lot more to of-fer Rohan Shankars screenplay is entertaining for most parts The various twists and dramatic points are well fleshed out How-ever a few rough edges remain Also the humour quotient is lim-ited Rohan Shankars dialogues are hilarious and a few of them are sure to induce claps
Abhishek Sharmas direction is neat He deserves brownie
points for keeping the mood of the film light from start to finish The film never gets too heavy even in no-nonsense situations Also the film is replete with some very quirky characters and he makes good use of them to add to the fun Moreover the film cel-ebrates the Marathi culture and the middle-class lifestyle of the city It fondly also reminds one of the simple slice-of-life films made by Hrishikesh Mukherjee and Basu Chatterjee On the flip-side some of the portions of the first half arenrsquot upto the mark es-pecially the lsquoBad Boyrsquo sequence A few developments are hard to digest especially the track of the professor deciding not to take any action against his wife despite the latter cheating on him Also the manner in which Madhu plans the breaking off the engagement ceremony of his sister is a bit too much Mangalrsquos change of heart
in the climax also comes across as very unconvincing Thank-fully the Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge [1995] inspired climax makes up for it
Anshuman Mahaleys cin-ematography is first-rate Rajat Poddars production design is authentic and reminds one of the 90s Vijay Gangulys choreogra-phy is appealing in Basanti Jia Bhagia and Mallika Chauhans costumes are realistic for all the characters Fatemarsquos clothes however donrsquot seem to be of 1995 but nevertheless looks glamorous Rameshwar Bhagats editing is fair
On the whole Suraj Pe Man-gal Bhari is a decent entertain-er and a clean family film that works because of its plot the depiction of the mid-90s era and the performances

IndiGo to reach normal domestic
capacity soonIndiarsquos biggest airline IndiGo
expects to reach 80 of usual do-mestic capacity by the end of the month but international capacity is running at just a fi fth of normal levels because of the pandemic its chief executive said

WASHINGTON - IBM and US offi cials are sounding the alarm over hackers targeting companies critical to the distribu-tion of COVID-19 vaccines
IBM said last Thursday that the campaign was a sign that digital spies are turning their attention to the complex logistical work in-volved in inoculating the worldrsquos population against the novel coronavirus although some out-side experts questioned whether that was the hackersrsquo focus
In a blog post here published last Thursday IBM said it had uncovered ldquoa global phishing campaignrdquo focused on organi-zations associated with the CO-VID-19 vaccine ldquocold chainrdquo - the process needed to keep vaccine doses at extremely cold temperatures as they travel from manufacturers to peoplersquos arms
The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency reposted the report warning here members of Operation Warp Speed - the US governmentrsquos
national vaccine mission - to be on the lookout
Other cybsecurity experts expressed some skepticism however of IBMrsquos fi ndings
Joe Slowik a researcher at on-line threat intelligence fi rm Do-mainTools said he believed IBM had stumbled upon ldquoa subset of activityrdquo that was part of a much wider campaign ldquowhich may not be focused on vaccines or similar activityrdquo
While ldquodefi nitely maliciousrdquo Slowik said he was not convinced it was specifi cally focused on vaccine distribution
Who is behind the espionage is not clear Messages sent to the email addresses used by the hackers were not returned
Understanding how to build a secure cold chain is fundamental to distributing vaccines devel-oped by the likes of Pfi zer Inc and BioNTech because the shots need to be stored at minus 70 de-grees Celsius (-94 F) or below to avoid spoiling
Hackers target groups in COVID-19 vaccine distribution says IBM
IBMrsquos cybersecurity unit said it had detected an advanced group of hackers working to gather in-formation about diff erent aspects of the cold chain using meticu-lously crafted booby-trapped emails sent in the name of an ex-ecutive with Haier Biomedical a Chinese cold chain provider that specializes in vaccine transport
and biological sample storageHaier Medical did not return
messages seeking commentTargets included companies
involved in the manufacture of solar panels which are used to power vaccine refrigerators in warm countries and petrochemi-cal products that could be used to derive dry ice
Amazon eyes potential $100 million investment in Indiarsquos Apollo Pharmacy
BENGALURU - Amazoncom Inc is considering a nearly $100 million investment in In-diarsquos pharmacy chain Apollo Pharmacy facing up to Reliance Industries Ltd and Tata Group in the countryrsquos fast-growing drug market the Economic Times re-ported on Wednesday citing two people aware of the plans
Amazon already delivers med-icines in India and the potential investment would come amid rising competition from Muke-sh Ambanirsquos Reliance which bought a majority stake in online pharmacy Netmeds
Tata Group here meanwhile
was reportedly in talks to pick up a majority stake in e-pharma-cy fi rm 1mg
Both Amazon and Apollo Hospitals which owns Apollo Pharmacy declined to comment
The growth of e-pharmacies however has left many Indian trader groups feeling threatened who say online drugstores can contribute to medicine sales without proper verifi cation and the entry of large players can cause unemployment in the sector
Amazonrsquos plan to further ex-pand in India also comes close on the heels of its launch of an online pharmacy to deliver pre-scription drugs in the United States increasing competi-tion with drug retailers such as Walgreens CVS Health and Walmart

NEW YORK - Indiarsquos econ-omy will return to growth in 202122 after a sharp con-traction in the latest year and higher public spending will lay the foundation for stronger growth in the next four to five years Finance Minister Nirma-la Sitharaman told Reuters last Thursday
With the worldrsquos second high-est number of coronavirus cases despite a severe lockdown of its 13 billion people early in the pandemic Indiarsquos economy is expected to contract nearly 10 in the 202021 financial year
But a recovery is taking hold now Sitharaman told the Reuters Global Investment Outlook Summit 2021
ldquoI would think 2021-22 will be very big good traction year
Indiarsquos economy on the rebound govt focuses on spending Sitharamanfor achieving a really good rate of growth that itself is going to be a launching pad for 4-5 years of growing at a good speed pro-vided we do enough on the bud-get and spend on infrastructurerdquo she said She gave no numbers about how big a government spending increase she planned to propose
Because the Indian govern-ment was concerned about its budget deficit its stimulus to
fight the economic slump during the pandemic was more mod-est than those of other countries such as the United States Japan and the United Kingdom
Sitharaman suggested the government should spend more in the months ahead to boost the growth rate
ldquoI have to be conscious that if I donrsquot spend now then the stim-ulus is meaningless if I donrsquot spend now the revival is going to get deferred and we canrsquot afford thatrdquo
The pace of the recovery would however depend on de-
velopment and adequate sup-ply of coronavirus vaccines economists say
India does not yet have a vac-cine purchase contract with any company but has said it will rely mainly on five being tested in the country including the Oxford-AstraZeneca one and Russiarsquos Sputnik V
Sitharaman said the govern-ment was bulking up the logis-tics including sufficient cold storage facilities to ensure de-livery of the vaccine down to the village councils across the country
RBI holds rates says will ensure ample liquidityMUMBAI - The Reserve Bank
of India (RBI) kept its key interest rates steady as widely expected last Friday amid persistently high inflation but said it will ensure ample liquidity is provided to stressed sectors to keep a nascent economic recovery on track
Its monetary policy committee decided to retain an accommoda-tive policy stance at least for the current financial year and into the next to revive growth on a du-rable basis while ensuring that inflation remains within target Governor Shaktikanta Das said in an online briefing
Das said the economy was re-bounding faster than expected
from a coronavirus-induced slump earlier in the year but warned signs of recovery were far from being broad based CO-VID-19 infections are also con-tinuing to climb with the tally now 957 million people
Das said MPC members voted unanimously to hold rates and re-tain the stance The key lending rate of the RBI or the repo rate was left unchanged at 4 while the reverse repo rate or the key borrowing rate stayed at 335
ldquoThe MPC is of the view that inflation is likely to remain el-evated barring transient relief in the winter months from prices of perishablesrdquo Das said
ldquoThis constrains monetary pol-icy at the current juncture from using the space available to act in support of growthrdquo
Indian stocks extended earlier gains to hit record highs after the decision while the Indian rupee strengthened slightly to 7376 against the dollar The bench-mark 10-year bond yield fell 3 basis points to 590
Das announced measures to help improve access to funding for stressed sectors and said the RBI will take further steps when necessary to ensure ample rupee liquidity to sustain visible growth impulses without impacting inflation

Telemarketing fraudster pleads guiltyPROVIDENCE RI - An Indian
national last week admitted to a federal judge in Providence that he participated in a wide-ranging conspiracy based in India to de-fraud United States citizens pri-marily seniors by telling victims that malware had been detected on their computers and based on that falsehood induced the vic-tims to direct money to him and his co-conspirators as payment for purported computer protection services that were not needed or ever provided
The conspirators in fact did not detect malware on victimsrsquo computers and accepted payment without providing any protection services
Himanshu Asri 33 of Delhi In-dia admitted that he had 325 call-ers routed to call centers in India where call center operators falsely reasserted to victims that malware had been detected on their com-puters and offered the victims purported computer protection services in exchange for payment The purpose of the false assertions was to induce people into routing money to the fraudsters
According to information pre-sented to the court from as far back as January 2015 through January 2020 Asri and others working together collected in
total approximately $940995 from victims through their fraud and attempted to collect between $1500000 and $3000000 The actual loss was less than the in-tended loss because some of those who were targeted by Asri and his coconspirators did not send any funds to the fraudsters
According to information pre-sented to the court the govern-ment and the defendant agree that many of Asrirsquos victims were vulnerable to fraud schemes due to age or infirmity and the parties agree that the scheme pursued by Asri and his coconspirators were structured to exploit such persons specifically persons over the age of 65
Appearing last week before
US District Court Chief Judge John J McConnell Jr Asri pleaded guilty to wire fraud con-spiracy announced United States Attorney Aaron L Weisman and Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Boston Division Joseph R Bonavolonta
Asri the 4th India-based tele-marketing fraudster to be convict-ed in federal court in Rhode Island in the past three months is sched-uled to be sentenced on February 18 2021 Wire fraud conspiracy is punishable by statutory penalties of up to 20 years in prison three years of supervised release and a fine of $250000
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant US Attorney Milind M Shah

Street at approximately 245 am Detectives saw Patel get out of his vehicle and pour a liquid on a parked vehicle

Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine data wins backing of FDA authorization nears
By Manas Mishra Michael Erman and Rebecca Spalding
Pfi zer Inc cleared the next hurdle in the race to get its COVID-19 vaccine ap-proved for emergency use on Tuesday after the US Food and Drug Administra-tion (FDA) released documents that raised no new issues about its safety or effi cacy
Pfi zer and German partner BioNTech SE said last month their coronavirus vac-cinersquos two-dose regimen was 95 eff ec-tive against COVID-19 and had no ma-jor safety issues and asked the FDA for emergency use authorization
The vaccinersquos effi cacy and safety data met its expectations for emergency use authorization FDA staff said in docu-ments released ahead of a Thursday meet-ing of outside experts to the FDA who will discuss whether to recommend the Pfi zer
shot for people aged 16 and olderJeff eries analyst Michael Yee said in
research note the documents were ldquovery simple and straightforward which we think will lead to approval imminentlyrdquo
The agency typically follows the rec-ommendations of its advisory panels but is not required to do so It is not clear how many days or weeks the FDA will take to make a decision but states are prepping for vaccine deliveries in mid-December
The documents were released on the day Britons began getting the Pfi zerBi-oNTech vaccine the worldrsquos fi rst recipi-ents outside of clinical trials
ldquoThere are no surprises here The ef-fi cacy and the safety is consistent with what we heard and what we hoped for It does look like the vaccine is safe at least in the short termrdquo said Dr Daniel Culver chair of Pulmonary Medicine at Cleveland Clinic in an interview He said the data showing it was as eff ective in older people as in younger people was reassuring
Pfi zer shares rose nearly 2 and BioN-Techrsquos US shares were up 25 in early trading
Pfi zer Chief Executive Albert Bourla said on Tuesday he expects a ldquovery in-tenserdquo meeting with a US vaccine advi-sory panel this week but is counting on the panel of outside experts to sign off on his companyrsquos COVID-19 vaccine candi-date
ldquoI think they will vote lsquoyesrsquo given the strength of the datardquo Bourla said at a
conference hosted by a pharmaceutical industry group
PROTECTION AFTER ONE SHOTData from the trial showed that the vac-
cine began conferring some protection to recipients even before they received the sec-ond shot the FDA said The eff ect became most pronounced about 14 days after people received the fi rst shot
The agencyrsquos staff noted that more data would be needed to assess the potential of a single-dose shot It said that the effi cacy after dose 1 and before dose 2 was around 52 percent
A two-dose vaccination was highly eff ec-tive in preventing confi rmed cases of COV-ID-19 at least seven days after the last dose FDA staff said
The FDA staff also said that available data while limited suggested the people who had been previously infected with the new coronavirus could benefi t from vac-
cination Very few cases of confi rmed CO-VID-19 occurred among participants with evidence of infection prior to vaccination though more of those that did were in the placebo group than the vaccine group the staff said
FDA staff also said that the trial which was designed to look at eff ectiveness against COVID-19 did not produce data to answer the question of if it also stopped infection
In terms of safety the FDA staff said there was currently insuffi cient data to make conclusions about the safety of the vaccine in people below 16 years of age pregnant women and those with compromised immune systems
There were a total of six deaths in the 44000 person trial with two deaths among those who got the vaccine and the rest in those who received a placebo the docu-ments showed All deaths represent events that occur in the general population at a similar rate FDA staff said

NEW YORK - Companies and industry groups lobbying to get their US workers to the front of the line for COVID vaccination are running into a patchwork of state plans and confusion over who is essential and who is not
Inoculation against the disease caused by the novel coronavirus is key to safely reopening large parts of the economy and reduc-ing the risks of illness at crowd-ed meatpacking plants factories and warehouses
But before one needle has en-tered the arm of an American
worker confusion has broken out over who exactly is consid-ered essential during a pandemic
With initial vaccine doses limited and strong federal guid-ance lacking it has fallen to US states to determine who will be first in line to receive a vaccine and who will have to wait well into next year
State vaccine distribution plans reviewed by Reuters showed broad discrepancies over who would be considered essential with some states clearly outlin-ing specific worker groups and
others not providing any clarityGenerally states have broad
discretion when it comes to vac-cine distribution and policy and are able to issue vaccination mandates for their residents
Many states have so far fol-lowed federal guidance to give meat and food processing indus-try workers space in the line but some are slowly moving away said Mark Lauritsen a former hog slaughter worker who now advocates on behalf of about
250000 meatpacking and food processing workers under the United Food and Commercial Workers union
ldquoFor example Colorado has not moved meatpacking and meat-processing as high as some other states So wersquoll be directing a lot of our effort towards places like Colorado where we may be moved down the food chainrdquo
ldquoWersquore a union that has mem-bers in every state so we will be talking to every state to make
our case as to where our place in line should beEverybody is go-ing to be jockeying for a place in linerdquo
More than 20 large industries have urged officials to prioritize their workers including individ-ual companies such as ride-hail-ing company Uber Technologies Inc and food delivery provider DoorDash Inc and industry groups representing truck driv-ers teachers retail workers and other business sectors
As US companies push to get workers vaccinated states disagree on whorsquos essential

California becomes biggest US stateto launch virus contact-tracing app
OAKLAND - California on Monday announced an app to help people track their exposure to the coronavirus becoming the big-gest US state to take advantage of new technology from smart-phone software makers Apple Inc and Alphabet Incrsquos Google
Beginning on Thursday people in California can activate the ex-posure notifications tool from the settings menu on iPhones or by downloading the CA Notify App in the Google Play store on Android devices
The apps enable Bluetooth sig-nals between devices to determine
when they are in close proximity and the apps then anonymously alert users when a recent contact later tests positive At least 6 mil-lion people in the United States have tried the system in recent months across the 21 states and two territories that made apps available before California Colo-rado and New York are among other states with apps
Public health experts say adop-tion has lagged because of tech-nical shortcomings in the earliest apps privacy concerns and dis-missive attitudes toward taking precautions to avoid the virus
But California officials hope the app will be adopted quickly in a state that is home to many tech workers
The statersquos two most densely inhabited regions and its agri-cultural breadbasket went under stay-at-home orders in the last couple of days as the pandem-ic strains hospitals in the most populous US state
CA Notify had been tested on state university campuses since September The University of California San Diego will contin-ue to oversee the system and staff a user support phone hotline

India can bank on match-winner Pandya for next five years Kohli
SYDNEY - India captain Vi-rat Kohli has identified Har-dik Pandya as their ldquobankablerdquo match-winner for the next four to five years after the all-rounder dazzled in their series-clinching Twenty20 Interna-tional victory over Australia on Sunday
India needed 25 runs off the last two overs and Pandya deliv-ered in style smashing two sixes in the final over to secure a six-wicket victory with two balls to spare
ldquoHe has natural raw talent and now hersquos quite experienced having played quite a bit of T20 cricket in the IPL (Indian Pre-mier League) and playing for In-dia toordquo Kohli said after Indiarsquos second successive win in the three-match series
ldquoNow he realises that this is his time the next four-five years to become that bankable middle-order player that can win you games from anywhere
ldquoYou need that finisher and hersquos becoming that for us Hersquos
hungry hersquos got to keep getting betterrdquo
Pandya whose 42 not out off 22 balls earned him the Man of the Match award showed no signs of nerves even as the ask-ing run rate spiralled
ldquoI always believe as a cricket-er you have to improve with time
and I have taken some time but I think things are coming pretty well nowrdquo said the 27-year- old
ldquoNow my biggest goal (is) that I want to finish games where it matters the mostrdquo
Pandya said he was happy to bat wherever the team need him
ldquoIf time comes when I have to bat number four I donrsquot mindrdquo he added ldquoIf time comes where I have to finish the game I have to do that job as well whatever the team requiresrdquo
Tuesdayrsquos final Twenty20 match will also be played at the Sydney Cricket Ground

Rahane gets century boost ahead of key test role in Australia
SYDNEY - Indiarsquos Ajinkya Ra-hane crafted an unbeaten century in a warm-up match on Sunday to give himself a timely boost ahead of his major responsibility in the four-test series against Australia beginning later this month
With regular skipper Virat Kohli set to return home after the opening test in Adelaide to attend the birth of his first child Rahane will be in charge in the final three matches in Australia
The right-handed batsman made 108 not out to help the tour-ists overcome a top order wobble and reach 237-8 on day one of the three-day match against Australia A at Drummoyne Oval
Rahane hit 16 boundaries and a six an upper cut against James
Pattinson to reach the half-centu-ry mark
Number three Cheteshwar Pu-jara who was awarded man-of-
the-series when India won their maiden test series in Australia two seasons ago also spent qual-ity time in the middle and scored 54
While Rahane played in the recent Indian Premier League (IPL) in the United Arab Emir-ates this was Pujararsquos first com-petitive outing since a domestic Ranji Trophy match in early March
Pujara lasted 140 balls before falling to Pattinson who claimed 3-58 to signal his own prepared-ness for the test series
It was a mixed outing for the tourists as three of their top six batsmen including openers Prithvi Shaw and Shubman Gill fell for ducks

Owner and operator of India-based call centers sentenced to prison for scamming US victims out of millions of dollars
lions of dollars by spearheading a conspiracy whose members boldly impersonated federal government of-ficials and preyed on victimsrsquo fears of adverse government actionrdquo said Act-ing Attorney General Brian C Rabbitt of the Justice Departmentrsquos Criminal Division
ldquoSince 2013 American taxpayers have been subjected to unprecedented attempts to fraudulently obtain money by individ-uals utilizing Indian call centers to imper-sonate IRS employees and scam Ameri-can taxpayersrdquo said J Russell George the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA)
According to admissions in his plea agreement Patel and his co-conspirators perpetrated a complex scheme in which employees from call centers in Ahmed-abad India impersonated officials from the IRS and US Citizenship and Immi-gration Services (USCIS) and engaged in other telephone call scams designed to defraud victims throughout the United States US victims were threatened with arrest imprisonment fines or deportation if they did not pay alleged monies owed to the government Those who fell victim were instructed how to provide payment including by purchasing general purpose reloadable (GPR) cards or wiring money Upon payment the call centers would im-
mediately turn to a network of ldquorunnersrdquo based in the United States to liquidate and launder the fraudulently obtained funds
A co-defendant described Patel as ldquothe top person in India and the boss for whom most of the other defendants workedrdquo and the owner of multiple call centers Another co-defendant stated that Patel was arrested in India in 2016 but then paid a bribe and was released Addi-tionally Patel admitted that a reasonably foreseeable loss of more than $25 million
but less than $65 million was attribut-able to him based on the governmentrsquos evidence against him
Patel was prosecuted in the United States after being extradited from Singa-pore in April 2019 to face charges in this large-scale telefraud and money launder-ing scheme Singapore authorities appre-hended Patel at the request of the United States pursuant to a provisional arrest warrant in September 2018 after Patel flew there from India

WASHINGTON DC - Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Ajit Pai who oversaw the repeal of landmark US net neutrality rules and a series of key spectrum auctions to address growing wireless needs said he plans to leave the commission on Jan 20
Pairsquos departure will come the same day President-elect Joe Biden is sworn into office Under
Pai the FCC voted 3-2 in 2017 to repeal the Obama administra-tionrsquos 2015 net neutrality rules barring internet service providers (ISPs) from blocking or slowing internet content or offering paid ldquofast lanesrdquo
The FCC voted in October to maintain the repeal ldquoIt is pa-tently obvious to all but the most devoted members of the net neu-trality cult that the case against the (net neutrality repeal) was a shamrdquo Pai said in October
FCC chairman Ajit Pai plans to step down Democrats are likely to attempt
to reinstate the 2015 rules when they take control of the FCC and argue they are crucial to main-taining an open internet
Pai who was tapped by Presi-dent Donald Trump to lead the agency in January 2017 had said the FCC needed to take a ldquoweed whackerrdquo to unneeded rules He oversaw the repeal of numerous prior regulations
Trump has pressed the FCC to adopt new rules to limit the legal
protections of social media com-panies like Twitter
Pai said in October his agency would move forward to set new rules to clarify the meaning of a key legal protection for social media companies but took no for-mal action
The Senate Commerce Com-mittee is set to vote on the nomi-nation of Nathan Simington a senior administration official to a seat on the FCC after Trump withdrew the nomination of FCC Commissioner Mike OrsquoRielly for another term after he made statements questioning the FCCrsquos
authority to move ahead with new social media regulations
In October 2017 Pai rejected Trumprsquos tweet the FCC could challenge the license of Comcast Corprsquos NBC over stories Trump asserted were not true
Pai convinced hundreds of internet providers to agree for months not to cancel service for customers impacted by the coronavirus pandemic
Pai also backed the $26 bil-lion tie-up of Sprint Corp and T-Mobile US after the companies agreed to deploy a next genera-tion 5G network

Indian doctors find lead nickel in blood samples after hundreds suffer mystery illness
By Jatindra Dashand Sudarshan Varadhan
BHUBANESWAR - Indian authorities said on Tuesday they found traces of lead and nickel particles in blood samples after hundreds of people were hospi-talised due to an unknown illness in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh
Teams of doctors including those from New Delhirsquos premier All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) are investigat-ing the death of one person and hospitalisation of more than 400 in the past few days
Andhra Pradeshrsquos state govern-ment said on Tuesday the AIIMS
team had found traces of lead and nickel in their samples while a second hospital is also running similar tests
The illness has infected more than 300 children with most of them suffering from dizzi-ness fainting spells headaches and vomiting They have tested negative for COVID-19
High levels of lead in the bloodstream can impair develop-ment of brains nervous systems and vital organs such as heart and lungs
Earlier on Tuesday federal law-maker GVL Narasimha Rao who is from the state said on Twitter that he had spoken with govern-ment medical experts and that the
ldquomost likely cause is poisonous organochlorine substancesrdquo
ldquoIt is one of the possibilitiesrdquo said Geeta Prasadini a public health director in Andhra Pradesh state adding they were awaiting test reports to ascertain the cause
She said no new serious cases have come to light in the past 24 hours A 45-year-old man died over the weekend
Organochlorines here are banned or restricted in many countries after research linked them to cancer and other poten-tial health risks However some of the pollutants remain in the environment for years and build up in animal and human body fat
India may approve some coronavirus vaccines over the next few weeks and an estimated 300 million people would be innoculated in the first tranche the countryrsquos top health official said on Tuesday

NEW DELHI - Thousands of Indian farmers angered by farm laws that they say threaten their livelihoods have intensified their protests by blocking highways and camping out on the outskirts of the capital Delhi
The government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and leaders of protesting farmersrsquo unions have held several rounds of talks but have not made any progress in breaking the dead-
lock over the set of laws passed by parliament in September
Although various farmer unions have supported the pro-test the agitation is largely led by the growers of relatively well-off states of Punjab and Haryana in Indiarsquos north
Every year the Indian govern-ment spends billions of dollars on buying millions of tonnes of rice and wheat from Punjab and Haryana and the worldrsquos most expensive food procure-ment program has now become
the centrepiece of Indiarsquos biggest farmersrsquo protest in years
After calculating the cost of cultivation the state-run Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP) an-nounces Minimum Support Prices (MSPs) for more than 22 commodities yearly to set a benchmark
Although every year the CACP announces MSPs for most crops the Food Corporation of India (FCI) the main state-run
grain procurement agency buys only rice and wheat at those pric-es due to a lack of storage and funds
After buying rice and wheat from farmers at MSPs the FCI sells the staples at highly sub-sidised prices to the poor The government compensates the FCI for its losses
Guaranteed prices offered by the FCI encourage farmers to pro-duce large quantities of rice and wheat Higher production puts
pressure on the FCI to buy extra supplies from farmers resulting in overflowing state warehouses and a ballooning subsidy bill that often pushes up the budget deficit
Despite sitting on massive mounds of rice and wheat the FCI finds it challenging to export as the annual rise in MSPs and its own storage costs make FCIrsquos rice and wheat more expen-sive than world prices making overseas sales uneconomic
Indiarsquos multi-billion dollar food program is at the heart of farmersrsquo protests

Farmers protest against the newly passed farm bills at Singhu border near Delhi India on December 4 2020
India formally protests to Canada over Trudeau remarks on farm protests
By Sanjeev Miglani
NEW DELHI - India sum-moned Canadarsquos ambassador last Friday and said comments made by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over protests by farm-ers near Delhi were an interfer-ence in its domestic affairs and would seriously hurt bilateral ties
Trudeau speaking to the In-dian community in Canada said this week that he was concerned about the farmers most of them from the Sikh-dominated state of Punjab camped out on the
outskirts of Delhi in a protest against farm reforms
The Indian foreign ministry said in a statement that com-ments on ldquoissues relating to In-dian farmers constitute an un-acceptable interference in our internal affairsrdquo
India and Canada have warm ties but in recent years there has been concern in India that some Sikh leaders in Canada have ties to separatist groups hostile to India
Canada is home to an influen-tial Sikh community and Indian leaders say there are some fringe
groups there that are still sympa-thetic to the cause of an indepen-dent Sikh state called Khalistan carved out of India
The Indian foreign ministry said comments made by Trudeau and other leaders had embold-ened radical groups and they were a risk to its diplomatic staff based in Canada
ldquoWe expect the Canadian Government to ensure the full-est security of Indian diplomatic personnel and its political lead-ers to refrain from pronounce-ments that legitimize extremist activismrdquo it said

MOVIE REVIEW
Itrsquos been eight months since
the last big Hindi film Angrezi Medium hit screens Once the lockdown kicked in films be-gan to go online even the ones starring A-listers But produc-ers of some small films decided to wait for cinemas to reopen Last month cinemas finally got the go-ahead in most parts of the country while on November 5 the prime state of Maharashtra too gave its nod This prompted Zee Studios to release Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari on Diwali on the big screen The trailer of the film has been impressive and carries a good vibe So does Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari manage to en-tertain and give viewers a good time Or does it falter Letrsquos analyse
Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari is the story of a feud between a wedding detective and a dairy owner The year is 1995 Suraj Singh Dhillon (Diljit Dosanjh) is a single guy from Mumbai and the heir of Jai Mata Rani Doodh Bhandar He lives with his fa-ther Gurnaam Dhillon (Manoj Pahwa) mother Yeshodha Dhil-lon (Seema Pahwa) and sister Guddi (Vanshika Sharma) His parents are looking for a right match but their efforts are futile
Surajs sidekick Sukhi (Manuj Sharma) tells him to be cool and a bad boy and that it would help attract girls Suraj likes the idea and as part of his stint as a cool bad boy he breaks the traf-fic signal and consumes alcohol in front of a girlrsquos college Mean-while his parents find a match for him An excited Suraj goes to the girlrsquos house with his par-ents But the girlrsquos parents refuse their proposal because they had the pictures of Suraj while he was in his bad boy avatar Suraj is dejected and is dying to know who clicked his pictures after all After cajoling the Pandit Dubey ji (Neeraj Sood) he gets to know that itrsquos none other than Madhu Mangal Rane (Manoj Bajpayee) a wedding detective He believes itrsquos his job to find flaws in the to-be grooms and thus save the lives of gullible girls and their families Suraj wants revenge but doesnrsquot know how He then realizes that Mangal has a sis-ter Tulshi Rane (Fatima Sana Shaikh) He decides to fake a relationship with her in order to get back at Mangal However he falls for her in real He expresses his love to Tulshi She however is hiding a shocking secret about her life and passion This secret gives Suraj the much needed op-portunity to damage Mangals reputation At the same time it can also dent his marriage pros-pects with Tulshi What happens next forms the rest of the film
Shokhi Banerjees story is very interesting and entertaining One might feel that the makers revealed almost the whole plot in the trailer But thatrsquos not the case as the film has a lot more to of-fer Rohan Shankars screenplay is entertaining for most parts The various twists and dramatic points are well fleshed out How-ever a few rough edges remain Also the humour quotient is lim-ited Rohan Shankars dialogues are hilarious and a few of them are sure to induce claps
Abhishek Sharmas direction is neat He deserves brownie
points for keeping the mood of the film light from start to finish The film never gets too heavy even in no-nonsense situations Also the film is replete with some very quirky characters and he makes good use of them to add to the fun Moreover the film cel-ebrates the Marathi culture and the middle-class lifestyle of the city It fondly also reminds one of the simple slice-of-life films made by Hrishikesh Mukherjee and Basu Chatterjee On the flip-side some of the portions of the first half arenrsquot upto the mark es-pecially the lsquoBad Boyrsquo sequence A few developments are hard to digest especially the track of the professor deciding not to take any action against his wife despite the latter cheating on him Also the manner in which Madhu plans the breaking off the engagement ceremony of his sister is a bit too much Mangalrsquos change of heart
in the climax also comes across as very unconvincing Thank-fully the Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge [1995] inspired climax makes up for it
Anshuman Mahaleys cin-ematography is first-rate Rajat Poddars production design is authentic and reminds one of the 90s Vijay Gangulys choreogra-phy is appealing in Basanti Jia Bhagia and Mallika Chauhans costumes are realistic for all the characters Fatemarsquos clothes however donrsquot seem to be of 1995 but nevertheless looks glamorous Rameshwar Bhagats editing is fair
On the whole Suraj Pe Man-gal Bhari is a decent entertain-er and a clean family film that works because of its plot the depiction of the mid-90s era and the performances

WASHINGTON - IBM and US offi cials are sounding the alarm over hackers targeting companies critical to the distribu-tion of COVID-19 vaccines
IBM said last Thursday that the campaign was a sign that digital spies are turning their attention to the complex logistical work in-volved in inoculating the worldrsquos population against the novel coronavirus although some out-side experts questioned whether that was the hackersrsquo focus
In a blog post here published last Thursday IBM said it had uncovered ldquoa global phishing campaignrdquo focused on organi-zations associated with the CO-VID-19 vaccine ldquocold chainrdquo - the process needed to keep vaccine doses at extremely cold temperatures as they travel from manufacturers to peoplersquos arms
The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency reposted the report warning here members of Operation Warp Speed - the US governmentrsquos
national vaccine mission - to be on the lookout
Other cybsecurity experts expressed some skepticism however of IBMrsquos fi ndings
Joe Slowik a researcher at on-line threat intelligence fi rm Do-mainTools said he believed IBM had stumbled upon ldquoa subset of activityrdquo that was part of a much wider campaign ldquowhich may not be focused on vaccines or similar activityrdquo
While ldquodefi nitely maliciousrdquo Slowik said he was not convinced it was specifi cally focused on vaccine distribution
Who is behind the espionage is not clear Messages sent to the email addresses used by the hackers were not returned
Understanding how to build a secure cold chain is fundamental to distributing vaccines devel-oped by the likes of Pfi zer Inc and BioNTech because the shots need to be stored at minus 70 de-grees Celsius (-94 F) or below to avoid spoiling
Hackers target groups in COVID-19 vaccine distribution says IBM
IBMrsquos cybersecurity unit said it had detected an advanced group of hackers working to gather in-formation about diff erent aspects of the cold chain using meticu-lously crafted booby-trapped emails sent in the name of an ex-ecutive with Haier Biomedical a Chinese cold chain provider that specializes in vaccine transport
and biological sample storageHaier Medical did not return
messages seeking commentTargets included companies
involved in the manufacture of solar panels which are used to power vaccine refrigerators in warm countries and petrochemi-cal products that could be used to derive dry ice
Amazon eyes potential $100 million investment in Indiarsquos Apollo Pharmacy
BENGALURU - Amazoncom Inc is considering a nearly $100 million investment in In-diarsquos pharmacy chain Apollo Pharmacy facing up to Reliance Industries Ltd and Tata Group in the countryrsquos fast-growing drug market the Economic Times re-ported on Wednesday citing two people aware of the plans
Amazon already delivers med-icines in India and the potential investment would come amid rising competition from Muke-sh Ambanirsquos Reliance which bought a majority stake in online pharmacy Netmeds
Tata Group here meanwhile
was reportedly in talks to pick up a majority stake in e-pharma-cy fi rm 1mg
Both Amazon and Apollo Hospitals which owns Apollo Pharmacy declined to comment
The growth of e-pharmacies however has left many Indian trader groups feeling threatened who say online drugstores can contribute to medicine sales without proper verifi cation and the entry of large players can cause unemployment in the sector
Amazonrsquos plan to further ex-pand in India also comes close on the heels of its launch of an online pharmacy to deliver pre-scription drugs in the United States increasing competi-tion with drug retailers such as Walgreens CVS Health and Walmart

NEW YORK - Indiarsquos econ-omy will return to growth in 202122 after a sharp con-traction in the latest year and higher public spending will lay the foundation for stronger growth in the next four to five years Finance Minister Nirma-la Sitharaman told Reuters last Thursday
With the worldrsquos second high-est number of coronavirus cases despite a severe lockdown of its 13 billion people early in the pandemic Indiarsquos economy is expected to contract nearly 10 in the 202021 financial year
But a recovery is taking hold now Sitharaman told the Reuters Global Investment Outlook Summit 2021
ldquoI would think 2021-22 will be very big good traction year
Indiarsquos economy on the rebound govt focuses on spending Sitharamanfor achieving a really good rate of growth that itself is going to be a launching pad for 4-5 years of growing at a good speed pro-vided we do enough on the bud-get and spend on infrastructurerdquo she said She gave no numbers about how big a government spending increase she planned to propose
Because the Indian govern-ment was concerned about its budget deficit its stimulus to
fight the economic slump during the pandemic was more mod-est than those of other countries such as the United States Japan and the United Kingdom
Sitharaman suggested the government should spend more in the months ahead to boost the growth rate
ldquoI have to be conscious that if I donrsquot spend now then the stim-ulus is meaningless if I donrsquot spend now the revival is going to get deferred and we canrsquot afford thatrdquo
The pace of the recovery would however depend on de-
velopment and adequate sup-ply of coronavirus vaccines economists say
India does not yet have a vac-cine purchase contract with any company but has said it will rely mainly on five being tested in the country including the Oxford-AstraZeneca one and Russiarsquos Sputnik V
Sitharaman said the govern-ment was bulking up the logis-tics including sufficient cold storage facilities to ensure de-livery of the vaccine down to the village councils across the country
RBI holds rates says will ensure ample liquidityMUMBAI - The Reserve Bank
of India (RBI) kept its key interest rates steady as widely expected last Friday amid persistently high inflation but said it will ensure ample liquidity is provided to stressed sectors to keep a nascent economic recovery on track
Its monetary policy committee decided to retain an accommoda-tive policy stance at least for the current financial year and into the next to revive growth on a du-rable basis while ensuring that inflation remains within target Governor Shaktikanta Das said in an online briefing
Das said the economy was re-bounding faster than expected
from a coronavirus-induced slump earlier in the year but warned signs of recovery were far from being broad based CO-VID-19 infections are also con-tinuing to climb with the tally now 957 million people
Das said MPC members voted unanimously to hold rates and re-tain the stance The key lending rate of the RBI or the repo rate was left unchanged at 4 while the reverse repo rate or the key borrowing rate stayed at 335
ldquoThe MPC is of the view that inflation is likely to remain el-evated barring transient relief in the winter months from prices of perishablesrdquo Das said
ldquoThis constrains monetary pol-icy at the current juncture from using the space available to act in support of growthrdquo
Indian stocks extended earlier gains to hit record highs after the decision while the Indian rupee strengthened slightly to 7376 against the dollar The bench-mark 10-year bond yield fell 3 basis points to 590
Das announced measures to help improve access to funding for stressed sectors and said the RBI will take further steps when necessary to ensure ample rupee liquidity to sustain visible growth impulses without impacting inflation

Telemarketing fraudster pleads guiltyPROVIDENCE RI - An Indian
national last week admitted to a federal judge in Providence that he participated in a wide-ranging conspiracy based in India to de-fraud United States citizens pri-marily seniors by telling victims that malware had been detected on their computers and based on that falsehood induced the vic-tims to direct money to him and his co-conspirators as payment for purported computer protection services that were not needed or ever provided
The conspirators in fact did not detect malware on victimsrsquo computers and accepted payment without providing any protection services
Himanshu Asri 33 of Delhi In-dia admitted that he had 325 call-ers routed to call centers in India where call center operators falsely reasserted to victims that malware had been detected on their com-puters and offered the victims purported computer protection services in exchange for payment The purpose of the false assertions was to induce people into routing money to the fraudsters
According to information pre-sented to the court from as far back as January 2015 through January 2020 Asri and others working together collected in
total approximately $940995 from victims through their fraud and attempted to collect between $1500000 and $3000000 The actual loss was less than the in-tended loss because some of those who were targeted by Asri and his coconspirators did not send any funds to the fraudsters
According to information pre-sented to the court the govern-ment and the defendant agree that many of Asrirsquos victims were vulnerable to fraud schemes due to age or infirmity and the parties agree that the scheme pursued by Asri and his coconspirators were structured to exploit such persons specifically persons over the age of 65
Appearing last week before
US District Court Chief Judge John J McConnell Jr Asri pleaded guilty to wire fraud con-spiracy announced United States Attorney Aaron L Weisman and Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Boston Division Joseph R Bonavolonta
Asri the 4th India-based tele-marketing fraudster to be convict-ed in federal court in Rhode Island in the past three months is sched-uled to be sentenced on February 18 2021 Wire fraud conspiracy is punishable by statutory penalties of up to 20 years in prison three years of supervised release and a fine of $250000
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant US Attorney Milind M Shah

California serial arson suspect arrested after garage doors car set on fire
FREMONT CA - Police in Fremont on Tuesday morning ar-rested a serial arson suspect who allegedly tried to light the ga-rage doors of multiple residenc-es on fire after he ignited a car according to authorities
Detectives arrested 44-year-old Fremont resident Roshan Patel after a series of four garage door fires over the past week De-tectives conducted surveillance on Patel and observed him set a vehicle on fire early this morn-ing He was arrested as he ran back to his vehicle
According to a news release undercover detectives were con-
ducting surveillance for Patel who was suspected of being in-volved in at least four residen-tial garage door fires that had happened since December 1st
Fremont officers located pri-vate residential camera footage that provided a general descrip-tion of the suspect vehicle De-tectives then matched that foot-age to the Community Camera network which then provided a license plate for the suspect ve-hicle
Detectives were surveilling Patel early Tuesday morning when he led them to the same house he had targeted on Hoyt
Street at approximately 245 am Detectives saw Patel get out of his vehicle and pour a liquid on a parked vehicle
Police detectives tried to con-tact Patel before he could ignite the vehicle but he was able to set the vehicle on fire Authorities were able to arrest the suspect as he ran back to his vehicle and extinguished the car fire with a nearby garden hose
Patel was arrested on arson charges and booked at the Fre-mont City Jail Detectives de-termined that Patel knew at least one of the residents that he had targeted in his arson attacks

Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine data wins backing of FDA authorization nears
By Manas Mishra Michael Erman and Rebecca Spalding
Pfi zer Inc cleared the next hurdle in the race to get its COVID-19 vaccine ap-proved for emergency use on Tuesday after the US Food and Drug Administra-tion (FDA) released documents that raised no new issues about its safety or effi cacy
Pfi zer and German partner BioNTech SE said last month their coronavirus vac-cinersquos two-dose regimen was 95 eff ec-tive against COVID-19 and had no ma-jor safety issues and asked the FDA for emergency use authorization
The vaccinersquos effi cacy and safety data met its expectations for emergency use authorization FDA staff said in docu-ments released ahead of a Thursday meet-ing of outside experts to the FDA who will discuss whether to recommend the Pfi zer
shot for people aged 16 and olderJeff eries analyst Michael Yee said in
research note the documents were ldquovery simple and straightforward which we think will lead to approval imminentlyrdquo
The agency typically follows the rec-ommendations of its advisory panels but is not required to do so It is not clear how many days or weeks the FDA will take to make a decision but states are prepping for vaccine deliveries in mid-December
The documents were released on the day Britons began getting the Pfi zerBi-oNTech vaccine the worldrsquos fi rst recipi-ents outside of clinical trials
ldquoThere are no surprises here The ef-fi cacy and the safety is consistent with what we heard and what we hoped for It does look like the vaccine is safe at least in the short termrdquo said Dr Daniel Culver chair of Pulmonary Medicine at Cleveland Clinic in an interview He said the data showing it was as eff ective in older people as in younger people was reassuring
Pfi zer shares rose nearly 2 and BioN-Techrsquos US shares were up 25 in early trading
Pfi zer Chief Executive Albert Bourla said on Tuesday he expects a ldquovery in-tenserdquo meeting with a US vaccine advi-sory panel this week but is counting on the panel of outside experts to sign off on his companyrsquos COVID-19 vaccine candi-date
ldquoI think they will vote lsquoyesrsquo given the strength of the datardquo Bourla said at a
conference hosted by a pharmaceutical industry group
PROTECTION AFTER ONE SHOTData from the trial showed that the vac-
cine began conferring some protection to recipients even before they received the sec-ond shot the FDA said The eff ect became most pronounced about 14 days after people received the fi rst shot
The agencyrsquos staff noted that more data would be needed to assess the potential of a single-dose shot It said that the effi cacy after dose 1 and before dose 2 was around 52 percent
A two-dose vaccination was highly eff ec-tive in preventing confi rmed cases of COV-ID-19 at least seven days after the last dose FDA staff said
The FDA staff also said that available data while limited suggested the people who had been previously infected with the new coronavirus could benefi t from vac-
cination Very few cases of confi rmed CO-VID-19 occurred among participants with evidence of infection prior to vaccination though more of those that did were in the placebo group than the vaccine group the staff said
FDA staff also said that the trial which was designed to look at eff ectiveness against COVID-19 did not produce data to answer the question of if it also stopped infection
In terms of safety the FDA staff said there was currently insuffi cient data to make conclusions about the safety of the vaccine in people below 16 years of age pregnant women and those with compromised immune systems
There were a total of six deaths in the 44000 person trial with two deaths among those who got the vaccine and the rest in those who received a placebo the docu-ments showed All deaths represent events that occur in the general population at a similar rate FDA staff said

NEW YORK - Companies and industry groups lobbying to get their US workers to the front of the line for COVID vaccination are running into a patchwork of state plans and confusion over who is essential and who is not
Inoculation against the disease caused by the novel coronavirus is key to safely reopening large parts of the economy and reduc-ing the risks of illness at crowd-ed meatpacking plants factories and warehouses
But before one needle has en-tered the arm of an American
worker confusion has broken out over who exactly is consid-ered essential during a pandemic
With initial vaccine doses limited and strong federal guid-ance lacking it has fallen to US states to determine who will be first in line to receive a vaccine and who will have to wait well into next year
State vaccine distribution plans reviewed by Reuters showed broad discrepancies over who would be considered essential with some states clearly outlin-ing specific worker groups and
others not providing any clarityGenerally states have broad
discretion when it comes to vac-cine distribution and policy and are able to issue vaccination mandates for their residents
Many states have so far fol-lowed federal guidance to give meat and food processing indus-try workers space in the line but some are slowly moving away said Mark Lauritsen a former hog slaughter worker who now advocates on behalf of about
250000 meatpacking and food processing workers under the United Food and Commercial Workers union
ldquoFor example Colorado has not moved meatpacking and meat-processing as high as some other states So wersquoll be directing a lot of our effort towards places like Colorado where we may be moved down the food chainrdquo
ldquoWersquore a union that has mem-bers in every state so we will be talking to every state to make
our case as to where our place in line should beEverybody is go-ing to be jockeying for a place in linerdquo
More than 20 large industries have urged officials to prioritize their workers including individ-ual companies such as ride-hail-ing company Uber Technologies Inc and food delivery provider DoorDash Inc and industry groups representing truck driv-ers teachers retail workers and other business sectors
As US companies push to get workers vaccinated states disagree on whorsquos essential
Companies and industry groups lobbying to get their US workers to the front of the line for COVID vaccination are running into a patchwork of state plans and confusion over who is essential and who is not

California becomes biggest US stateto launch virus contact-tracing app
OAKLAND - California on Monday announced an app to help people track their exposure to the coronavirus becoming the big-gest US state to take advantage of new technology from smart-phone software makers Apple Inc and Alphabet Incrsquos Google
Beginning on Thursday people in California can activate the ex-posure notifications tool from the settings menu on iPhones or by downloading the CA Notify App in the Google Play store on Android devices
The apps enable Bluetooth sig-nals between devices to determine
when they are in close proximity and the apps then anonymously alert users when a recent contact later tests positive At least 6 mil-lion people in the United States have tried the system in recent months across the 21 states and two territories that made apps available before California Colo-rado and New York are among other states with apps
Public health experts say adop-tion has lagged because of tech-nical shortcomings in the earliest apps privacy concerns and dis-missive attitudes toward taking precautions to avoid the virus
But California officials hope the app will be adopted quickly in a state that is home to many tech workers
The statersquos two most densely inhabited regions and its agri-cultural breadbasket went under stay-at-home orders in the last couple of days as the pandem-ic strains hospitals in the most populous US state
CA Notify had been tested on state university campuses since September The University of California San Diego will contin-ue to oversee the system and staff a user support phone hotline

India can bank on match-winner Pandya for next five years Kohli
SYDNEY - India captain Vi-rat Kohli has identified Har-dik Pandya as their ldquobankablerdquo match-winner for the next four to five years after the all-rounder dazzled in their series-clinching Twenty20 Interna-tional victory over Australia on Sunday
India needed 25 runs off the last two overs and Pandya deliv-ered in style smashing two sixes in the final over to secure a six-wicket victory with two balls to spare
ldquoHe has natural raw talent and now hersquos quite experienced having played quite a bit of T20 cricket in the IPL (Indian Pre-mier League) and playing for In-dia toordquo Kohli said after Indiarsquos second successive win in the three-match series
ldquoNow he realises that this is his time the next four-five years to become that bankable middle-order player that can win you games from anywhere
ldquoYou need that finisher and hersquos becoming that for us Hersquos
hungry hersquos got to keep getting betterrdquo
Pandya whose 42 not out off 22 balls earned him the Man of the Match award showed no signs of nerves even as the ask-ing run rate spiralled
ldquoI always believe as a cricket-er you have to improve with time
and I have taken some time but I think things are coming pretty well nowrdquo said the 27-year- old
ldquoNow my biggest goal (is) that I want to finish games where it matters the mostrdquo
Pandya said he was happy to bat wherever the team need him
ldquoIf time comes when I have to bat number four I donrsquot mindrdquo he added ldquoIf time comes where I have to finish the game I have to do that job as well whatever the team requiresrdquo
Tuesdayrsquos final Twenty20 match will also be played at the Sydney Cricket Ground

Rahane gets century boost ahead of key test role in Australia
SYDNEY - Indiarsquos Ajinkya Ra-hane crafted an unbeaten century in a warm-up match on Sunday to give himself a timely boost ahead of his major responsibility in the four-test series against Australia beginning later this month
With regular skipper Virat Kohli set to return home after the opening test in Adelaide to attend the birth of his first child Rahane will be in charge in the final three matches in Australia
The right-handed batsman made 108 not out to help the tour-ists overcome a top order wobble and reach 237-8 on day one of the three-day match against Australia A at Drummoyne Oval
Rahane hit 16 boundaries and a six an upper cut against James
Pattinson to reach the half-centu-ry mark
Number three Cheteshwar Pu-jara who was awarded man-of-
the-series when India won their maiden test series in Australia two seasons ago also spent qual-ity time in the middle and scored 54
While Rahane played in the recent Indian Premier League (IPL) in the United Arab Emir-ates this was Pujararsquos first com-petitive outing since a domestic Ranji Trophy match in early March
Pujara lasted 140 balls before falling to Pattinson who claimed 3-58 to signal his own prepared-ness for the test series
It was a mixed outing for the tourists as three of their top six batsmen including openers Prithvi Shaw and Shubman Gill fell for ducks

WASHINGTON DC - Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Ajit Pai who oversaw the repeal of landmark US net neutrality rules and a series of key spectrum auctions to address growing wireless needs said he plans to leave the commission on Jan 20
Pairsquos departure will come the same day President-elect Joe Biden is sworn into office Under
Pai the FCC voted 3-2 in 2017 to repeal the Obama administra-tionrsquos 2015 net neutrality rules barring internet service providers (ISPs) from blocking or slowing internet content or offering paid ldquofast lanesrdquo
The FCC voted in October to maintain the repeal ldquoIt is pa-tently obvious to all but the most devoted members of the net neu-trality cult that the case against the (net neutrality repeal) was a shamrdquo Pai said in October
FCC chairman Ajit Pai plans to step down Democrats are likely to attempt
to reinstate the 2015 rules when they take control of the FCC and argue they are crucial to main-taining an open internet
Pai who was tapped by Presi-dent Donald Trump to lead the agency in January 2017 had said the FCC needed to take a ldquoweed whackerrdquo to unneeded rules He oversaw the repeal of numerous prior regulations
Trump has pressed the FCC to adopt new rules to limit the legal
protections of social media com-panies like Twitter
Pai said in October his agency would move forward to set new rules to clarify the meaning of a key legal protection for social media companies but took no for-mal action
The Senate Commerce Com-mittee is set to vote on the nomi-nation of Nathan Simington a senior administration official to a seat on the FCC after Trump withdrew the nomination of FCC Commissioner Mike OrsquoRielly for another term after he made statements questioning the FCCrsquos
authority to move ahead with new social media regulations
In October 2017 Pai rejected Trumprsquos tweet the FCC could challenge the license of Comcast Corprsquos NBC over stories Trump asserted were not true
Pai convinced hundreds of internet providers to agree for months not to cancel service for customers impacted by the coronavirus pandemic
Pai also backed the $26 bil-lion tie-up of Sprint Corp and T-Mobile US after the companies agreed to deploy a next genera-tion 5G network

MUMBAI - India may ap-prove some coronavirus vac-cines over the next few weeks and an estimated 300 million people would be innoculated in the first tranche the coun-tryrsquos top health official said on Tuesday
ldquoThere are multiple vaccine candidates in different stages of
development and some of them may get licensed in the next few weeksrdquo federal health secretary Rajesh Bhushan told a press briefing in New Delhi
Over the weekend Pfizer Inc sought emergency-use authori-sation in India followed by As-tra Zenecarsquos Covishield vaccine which is being manufactured in
India could authorise vaccines in weeks 300 million on priority listIndia by the Serum Institute of India
Bhushan said Indiarsquos Bharat Biotech has also sought emer-gency-use authorization from the Indian drug regulator for its COVID-19 vaccine called Co-vaxin which it is developing in collaboration with the gov-ernment-run Indian Council of
Medical ResearchIndian Prime Minister Nar-
endra Modirsquos government has identified 300 million people including healthcare workers policemen and citizens above the age of 50 who would be administered a vaccine on a priority basis Bhushan said

More than 154000 health-
care workers had been identified to help conduct the vaccina-tion drive and the country had enough cold chain capacity to innoculate the first 30 million people Bhushan said

Indian doctors find lead nickel in blood samples after hundreds suffer mystery illness
By Jatindra Dashand Sudarshan Varadhan
BHUBANESWAR - Indian authorities said on Tuesday they found traces of lead and nickel particles in blood samples after hundreds of people were hospi-talised due to an unknown illness in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh
Teams of doctors including those from New Delhirsquos premier All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) are investigat-ing the death of one person and hospitalisation of more than 400 in the past few days
Andhra Pradeshrsquos state govern-ment said on Tuesday the AIIMS
team had found traces of lead and nickel in their samples while a second hospital is also running similar tests
The illness has infected more than 300 children with most of them suffering from dizzi-ness fainting spells headaches and vomiting They have tested negative for COVID-19
High levels of lead in the bloodstream can impair develop-ment of brains nervous systems and vital organs such as heart and lungs
Earlier on Tuesday federal law-maker GVL Narasimha Rao who is from the state said on Twitter that he had spoken with govern-ment medical experts and that the
ldquomost likely cause is poisonous organochlorine substancesrdquo
ldquoIt is one of the possibilitiesrdquo said Geeta Prasadini a public health director in Andhra Pradesh state adding they were awaiting test reports to ascertain the cause
She said no new serious cases have come to light in the past 24 hours A 45-year-old man died over the weekend
Organochlorines here are banned or restricted in many countries after research linked them to cancer and other poten-tial health risks However some of the pollutants remain in the environment for years and build up in animal and human body fat

NEW DELHI - Thousands of Indian farmers angered by farm laws that they say threaten their livelihoods have intensified their protests by blocking highways and camping out on the outskirts of the capital Delhi
The government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and leaders of protesting farmersrsquo unions have held several rounds of talks but have not made any progress in breaking the dead-
lock over the set of laws passed by parliament in September
Although various farmer unions have supported the pro-test the agitation is largely led by the growers of relatively well-off states of Punjab and Haryana in Indiarsquos north
Every year the Indian govern-ment spends billions of dollars on buying millions of tonnes of rice and wheat from Punjab and Haryana and the worldrsquos most expensive food procure-ment program has now become
the centrepiece of Indiarsquos biggest farmersrsquo protest in years
After calculating the cost of cultivation the state-run Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP) an-nounces Minimum Support Prices (MSPs) for more than 22 commodities yearly to set a benchmark
Although every year the CACP announces MSPs for most crops the Food Corporation of India (FCI) the main state-run
grain procurement agency buys only rice and wheat at those pric-es due to a lack of storage and funds
After buying rice and wheat from farmers at MSPs the FCI sells the staples at highly sub-sidised prices to the poor The government compensates the FCI for its losses
Guaranteed prices offered by the FCI encourage farmers to pro-duce large quantities of rice and wheat Higher production puts
pressure on the FCI to buy extra supplies from farmers resulting in overflowing state warehouses and a ballooning subsidy bill that often pushes up the budget deficit
Despite sitting on massive mounds of rice and wheat the FCI finds it challenging to export as the annual rise in MSPs and its own storage costs make FCIrsquos rice and wheat more expen-sive than world prices making overseas sales uneconomic
Indiarsquos multi-billion dollar food program is at the heart of farmersrsquo protests

Farmers protest against the newly passed farm bills at Singhu border near Delhi India on December 4 2020
India formally protests to Canada over Trudeau remarks on farm protests
By Sanjeev Miglani
NEW DELHI - India sum-moned Canadarsquos ambassador last Friday and said comments made by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over protests by farm-ers near Delhi were an interfer-ence in its domestic affairs and would seriously hurt bilateral ties
Trudeau speaking to the In-dian community in Canada said this week that he was concerned about the farmers most of them from the Sikh-dominated state of Punjab camped out on the
outskirts of Delhi in a protest against farm reforms
The Indian foreign ministry said in a statement that com-ments on ldquoissues relating to In-dian farmers constitute an un-acceptable interference in our internal affairsrdquo
India and Canada have warm ties but in recent years there has been concern in India that some Sikh leaders in Canada have ties to separatist groups hostile to India
Canada is home to an influen-tial Sikh community and Indian leaders say there are some fringe
groups there that are still sympa-thetic to the cause of an indepen-dent Sikh state called Khalistan carved out of India
The Indian foreign ministry said comments made by Trudeau and other leaders had embold-ened radical groups and they were a risk to its diplomatic staff based in Canada
ldquoWe expect the Canadian Government to ensure the full-est security of Indian diplomatic personnel and its political lead-ers to refrain from pronounce-ments that legitimize extremist activismrdquo it said

MOVIE REVIEW
Itrsquos been eight months since
the last big Hindi film Angrezi Medium hit screens Once the lockdown kicked in films be-gan to go online even the ones starring A-listers But produc-ers of some small films decided to wait for cinemas to reopen Last month cinemas finally got the go-ahead in most parts of the country while on November 5 the prime state of Maharashtra too gave its nod This prompted Zee Studios to release Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari on Diwali on the big screen The trailer of the film has been impressive and carries a good vibe So does Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari manage to en-tertain and give viewers a good time Or does it falter Letrsquos analyse
Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari is the story of a feud between a wedding detective and a dairy owner The year is 1995 Suraj Singh Dhillon (Diljit Dosanjh) is a single guy from Mumbai and the heir of Jai Mata Rani Doodh Bhandar He lives with his fa-ther Gurnaam Dhillon (Manoj Pahwa) mother Yeshodha Dhil-lon (Seema Pahwa) and sister Guddi (Vanshika Sharma) His parents are looking for a right match but their efforts are futile
Surajs sidekick Sukhi (Manuj Sharma) tells him to be cool and a bad boy and that it would help attract girls Suraj likes the idea and as part of his stint as a cool bad boy he breaks the traf-fic signal and consumes alcohol in front of a girlrsquos college Mean-while his parents find a match for him An excited Suraj goes to the girlrsquos house with his par-ents But the girlrsquos parents refuse their proposal because they had the pictures of Suraj while he was in his bad boy avatar Suraj is dejected and is dying to know who clicked his pictures after all After cajoling the Pandit Dubey ji (Neeraj Sood) he gets to know that itrsquos none other than Madhu Mangal Rane (Manoj Bajpayee) a wedding detective He believes itrsquos his job to find flaws in the to-be grooms and thus save the lives of gullible girls and their families Suraj wants revenge but doesnrsquot know how He then realizes that Mangal has a sis-ter Tulshi Rane (Fatima Sana Shaikh) He decides to fake a relationship with her in order to get back at Mangal However he falls for her in real He expresses his love to Tulshi She however is hiding a shocking secret about her life and passion This secret gives Suraj the much needed op-portunity to damage Mangals reputation At the same time it can also dent his marriage pros-pects with Tulshi What happens next forms the rest of the film
Shokhi Banerjees story is very interesting and entertaining One might feel that the makers revealed almost the whole plot in the trailer But thatrsquos not the case as the film has a lot more to of-fer Rohan Shankars screenplay is entertaining for most parts The various twists and dramatic points are well fleshed out How-ever a few rough edges remain Also the humour quotient is lim-ited Rohan Shankars dialogues are hilarious and a few of them are sure to induce claps
Abhishek Sharmas direction is neat He deserves brownie
points for keeping the mood of the film light from start to finish The film never gets too heavy even in no-nonsense situations Also the film is replete with some very quirky characters and he makes good use of them to add to the fun Moreover the film cel-ebrates the Marathi culture and the middle-class lifestyle of the city It fondly also reminds one of the simple slice-of-life films made by Hrishikesh Mukherjee and Basu Chatterjee On the flip-side some of the portions of the first half arenrsquot upto the mark es-pecially the lsquoBad Boyrsquo sequence A few developments are hard to digest especially the track of the professor deciding not to take any action against his wife despite the latter cheating on him Also the manner in which Madhu plans the breaking off the engagement ceremony of his sister is a bit too much Mangalrsquos change of heart
in the climax also comes across as very unconvincing Thank-fully the Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge [1995] inspired climax makes up for it
Anshuman Mahaleys cin-ematography is first-rate Rajat Poddars production design is authentic and reminds one of the 90s Vijay Gangulys choreogra-phy is appealing in Basanti Jia Bhagia and Mallika Chauhans costumes are realistic for all the characters Fatemarsquos clothes however donrsquot seem to be of 1995 but nevertheless looks glamorous Rameshwar Bhagats editing is fair
On the whole Suraj Pe Man-gal Bhari is a decent entertain-er and a clean family film that works because of its plot the depiction of the mid-90s era and the performances

IndiGo to reach normal domestic
capacity soonIndiarsquos biggest airline IndiGo
expects to reach 80 of usual do-mestic capacity by the end of the month but international capacity is running at just a fi fth of normal levels because of the pandemic its chief executive said
The airline hopes to reach 100 of normal domestic capacity by early next year and 100 of its usual international capacity by the end of 2021 Chief Executive Ronojoy Dutta said
The low-cost airline owned by Interglobe Aviation Ltd re-ported last month a loss of 1195 billion rupees ($16245 million) in the second quarter ended Sept 30 as pandemic curbs dented its operations

WASHINGTON - IBM and US offi cials are sounding the alarm over hackers targeting companies critical to the distribu-tion of COVID-19 vaccines
IBM said last Thursday that the campaign was a sign that digital spies are turning their attention to the complex logistical work in-volved in inoculating the worldrsquos population against the novel coronavirus although some out-side experts questioned whether that was the hackersrsquo focus
In a blog post here published last Thursday IBM said it had uncovered ldquoa global phishing campaignrdquo focused on organi-zations associated with the CO-VID-19 vaccine ldquocold chainrdquo - the process needed to keep vaccine doses at extremely cold temperatures as they travel from manufacturers to peoplersquos arms
The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency reposted the report warning here members of Operation Warp Speed - the US governmentrsquos
national vaccine mission - to be on the lookout
Other cybsecurity experts expressed some skepticism however of IBMrsquos fi ndings
Joe Slowik a researcher at on-line threat intelligence fi rm Do-mainTools said he believed IBM had stumbled upon ldquoa subset of activityrdquo that was part of a much wider campaign ldquowhich may not be focused on vaccines or similar activityrdquo
While ldquodefi nitely maliciousrdquo Slowik said he was not convinced it was specifi cally focused on vaccine distribution
Who is behind the espionage is not clear Messages sent to the email addresses used by the hackers were not returned
Understanding how to build a secure cold chain is fundamental to distributing vaccines devel-oped by the likes of Pfi zer Inc and BioNTech because the shots need to be stored at minus 70 de-grees Celsius (-94 F) or below to avoid spoiling
Hackers target groups in COVID-19 vaccine distribution says IBM
IBMrsquos cybersecurity unit said it had detected an advanced group of hackers working to gather in-formation about diff erent aspects of the cold chain using meticu-lously crafted booby-trapped emails sent in the name of an ex-ecutive with Haier Biomedical a Chinese cold chain provider that specializes in vaccine transport
and biological sample storageHaier Medical did not return
messages seeking commentTargets included companies
involved in the manufacture of solar panels which are used to power vaccine refrigerators in warm countries and petrochemi-cal products that could be used to derive dry ice
Amazon eyes potential $100 million investment in Indiarsquos Apollo Pharmacy
BENGALURU - Amazoncom Inc is considering a nearly $100 million investment in In-diarsquos pharmacy chain Apollo Pharmacy facing up to Reliance Industries Ltd and Tata Group in the countryrsquos fast-growing drug market the Economic Times re-ported on Wednesday citing two people aware of the plans
Amazon already delivers med-icines in India and the potential investment would come amid rising competition from Muke-sh Ambanirsquos Reliance which bought a majority stake in online pharmacy Netmeds
Tata Group here meanwhile
was reportedly in talks to pick up a majority stake in e-pharma-cy fi rm 1mg
Both Amazon and Apollo Hospitals which owns Apollo Pharmacy declined to comment
The growth of e-pharmacies however has left many Indian trader groups feeling threatened who say online drugstores can contribute to medicine sales without proper verifi cation and the entry of large players can cause unemployment in the sector
Amazonrsquos plan to further ex-pand in India also comes close on the heels of its launch of an online pharmacy to deliver pre-scription drugs in the United States increasing competi-tion with drug retailers such as Walgreens CVS Health and Walmart

NEW YORK - Indiarsquos econ-omy will return to growth in 202122 after a sharp con-traction in the latest year and higher public spending will lay the foundation for stronger growth in the next four to five years Finance Minister Nirma-la Sitharaman told Reuters last Thursday
With the worldrsquos second high-est number of coronavirus cases despite a severe lockdown of its 13 billion people early in the pandemic Indiarsquos economy is expected to contract nearly 10 in the 202021 financial year
But a recovery is taking hold now Sitharaman told the Reuters Global Investment Outlook Summit 2021
ldquoI would think 2021-22 will be very big good traction year
Indiarsquos economy on the rebound govt focuses on spending Sitharamanfor achieving a really good rate of growth that itself is going to be a launching pad for 4-5 years of growing at a good speed pro-vided we do enough on the bud-get and spend on infrastructurerdquo she said She gave no numbers about how big a government spending increase she planned to propose
Because the Indian govern-ment was concerned about its budget deficit its stimulus to
fight the economic slump during the pandemic was more mod-est than those of other countries such as the United States Japan and the United Kingdom
Sitharaman suggested the government should spend more in the months ahead to boost the growth rate
ldquoI have to be conscious that if I donrsquot spend now then the stim-ulus is meaningless if I donrsquot spend now the revival is going to get deferred and we canrsquot afford thatrdquo
The pace of the recovery would however depend on de-
velopment and adequate sup-ply of coronavirus vaccines economists say
India does not yet have a vac-cine purchase contract with any company but has said it will rely mainly on five being tested in the country including the Oxford-AstraZeneca one and Russiarsquos Sputnik V
Sitharaman said the govern-ment was bulking up the logis-tics including sufficient cold storage facilities to ensure de-livery of the vaccine down to the village councils across the country
RBI holds rates says will ensure ample liquidityMUMBAI - The Reserve Bank
of India (RBI) kept its key interest rates steady as widely expected last Friday amid persistently high inflation but said it will ensure ample liquidity is provided to stressed sectors to keep a nascent economic recovery on track
Its monetary policy committee decided to retain an accommoda-tive policy stance at least for the current financial year and into the next to revive growth on a du-rable basis while ensuring that inflation remains within target Governor Shaktikanta Das said in an online briefing
Das said the economy was re-bounding faster than expected
from a coronavirus-induced slump earlier in the year but warned signs of recovery were far from being broad based CO-VID-19 infections are also con-tinuing to climb with the tally now 957 million people
Das said MPC members voted unanimously to hold rates and re-tain the stance The key lending rate of the RBI or the repo rate was left unchanged at 4 while the reverse repo rate or the key borrowing rate stayed at 335
ldquoThe MPC is of the view that inflation is likely to remain el-evated barring transient relief in the winter months from prices of perishablesrdquo Das said
ldquoThis constrains monetary pol-icy at the current juncture from using the space available to act in support of growthrdquo
Indian stocks extended earlier gains to hit record highs after the decision while the Indian rupee strengthened slightly to 7376 against the dollar The bench-mark 10-year bond yield fell 3 basis points to 590
Das announced measures to help improve access to funding for stressed sectors and said the RBI will take further steps when necessary to ensure ample rupee liquidity to sustain visible growth impulses without impacting inflation

Telemarketing fraudster pleads guiltyPROVIDENCE RI - An Indian
national last week admitted to a federal judge in Providence that he participated in a wide-ranging conspiracy based in India to de-fraud United States citizens pri-marily seniors by telling victims that malware had been detected on their computers and based on that falsehood induced the vic-tims to direct money to him and his co-conspirators as payment for purported computer protection services that were not needed or ever provided
The conspirators in fact did not detect malware on victimsrsquo computers and accepted payment without providing any protection services
Himanshu Asri 33 of Delhi In-dia admitted that he had 325 call-ers routed to call centers in India where call center operators falsely reasserted to victims that malware had been detected on their com-puters and offered the victims purported computer protection services in exchange for payment The purpose of the false assertions was to induce people into routing money to the fraudsters
According to information pre-sented to the court from as far back as January 2015 through January 2020 Asri and others working together collected in
total approximately $940995 from victims through their fraud and attempted to collect between $1500000 and $3000000 The actual loss was less than the in-tended loss because some of those who were targeted by Asri and his coconspirators did not send any funds to the fraudsters
According to information pre-sented to the court the govern-ment and the defendant agree that many of Asrirsquos victims were vulnerable to fraud schemes due to age or infirmity and the parties agree that the scheme pursued by Asri and his coconspirators were structured to exploit such persons specifically persons over the age of 65
Appearing last week before
US District Court Chief Judge John J McConnell Jr Asri pleaded guilty to wire fraud con-spiracy announced United States Attorney Aaron L Weisman and Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Boston Division Joseph R Bonavolonta
Asri the 4th India-based tele-marketing fraudster to be convict-ed in federal court in Rhode Island in the past three months is sched-uled to be sentenced on February 18 2021 Wire fraud conspiracy is punishable by statutory penalties of up to 20 years in prison three years of supervised release and a fine of $250000
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant US Attorney Milind M Shah

Street at approximately 245 am Detectives saw Patel get out of his vehicle and pour a liquid on a parked vehicle

Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine data wins backing of FDA authorization nears
By Manas Mishra Michael Erman and Rebecca Spalding
Pfi zer Inc cleared the next hurdle in the race to get its COVID-19 vaccine ap-proved for emergency use on Tuesday after the US Food and Drug Administra-tion (FDA) released documents that raised no new issues about its safety or effi cacy
Pfi zer and German partner BioNTech SE said last month their coronavirus vac-cinersquos two-dose regimen was 95 eff ec-tive against COVID-19 and had no ma-jor safety issues and asked the FDA for emergency use authorization
The vaccinersquos effi cacy and safety data met its expectations for emergency use authorization FDA staff said in docu-ments released ahead of a Thursday meet-ing of outside experts to the FDA who will discuss whether to recommend the Pfi zer
shot for people aged 16 and olderJeff eries analyst Michael Yee said in
research note the documents were ldquovery simple and straightforward which we think will lead to approval imminentlyrdquo
The agency typically follows the rec-ommendations of its advisory panels but is not required to do so It is not clear how many days or weeks the FDA will take to make a decision but states are prepping for vaccine deliveries in mid-December
The documents were released on the day Britons began getting the Pfi zerBi-oNTech vaccine the worldrsquos fi rst recipi-ents outside of clinical trials
ldquoThere are no surprises here The ef-fi cacy and the safety is consistent with what we heard and what we hoped for It does look like the vaccine is safe at least in the short termrdquo said Dr Daniel Culver chair of Pulmonary Medicine at Cleveland Clinic in an interview He said the data showing it was as eff ective in older people as in younger people was reassuring
Pfi zer shares rose nearly 2 and BioN-Techrsquos US shares were up 25 in early trading
Pfi zer Chief Executive Albert Bourla said on Tuesday he expects a ldquovery in-tenserdquo meeting with a US vaccine advi-sory panel this week but is counting on the panel of outside experts to sign off on his companyrsquos COVID-19 vaccine candi-date
ldquoI think they will vote lsquoyesrsquo given the strength of the datardquo Bourla said at a
conference hosted by a pharmaceutical industry group
PROTECTION AFTER ONE SHOTData from the trial showed that the vac-
cine began conferring some protection to recipients even before they received the sec-ond shot the FDA said The eff ect became most pronounced about 14 days after people received the fi rst shot
The agencyrsquos staff noted that more data would be needed to assess the potential of a single-dose shot It said that the effi cacy after dose 1 and before dose 2 was around 52 percent
A two-dose vaccination was highly eff ec-tive in preventing confi rmed cases of COV-ID-19 at least seven days after the last dose FDA staff said
The FDA staff also said that available data while limited suggested the people who had been previously infected with the new coronavirus could benefi t from vac-
cination Very few cases of confi rmed CO-VID-19 occurred among participants with evidence of infection prior to vaccination though more of those that did were in the placebo group than the vaccine group the staff said
FDA staff also said that the trial which was designed to look at eff ectiveness against COVID-19 did not produce data to answer the question of if it also stopped infection
In terms of safety the FDA staff said there was currently insuffi cient data to make conclusions about the safety of the vaccine in people below 16 years of age pregnant women and those with compromised immune systems
There were a total of six deaths in the 44000 person trial with two deaths among those who got the vaccine and the rest in those who received a placebo the docu-ments showed All deaths represent events that occur in the general population at a similar rate FDA staff said

NEW YORK - Companies and industry groups lobbying to get their US workers to the front of the line for COVID vaccination are running into a patchwork of state plans and confusion over who is essential and who is not
Inoculation against the disease caused by the novel coronavirus is key to safely reopening large parts of the economy and reduc-ing the risks of illness at crowd-ed meatpacking plants factories and warehouses
But before one needle has en-tered the arm of an American
worker confusion has broken out over who exactly is consid-ered essential during a pandemic
With initial vaccine doses limited and strong federal guid-ance lacking it has fallen to US states to determine who will be first in line to receive a vaccine and who will have to wait well into next year
State vaccine distribution plans reviewed by Reuters showed broad discrepancies over who would be considered essential with some states clearly outlin-ing specific worker groups and
others not providing any clarityGenerally states have broad
discretion when it comes to vac-cine distribution and policy and are able to issue vaccination mandates for their residents
Many states have so far fol-lowed federal guidance to give meat and food processing indus-try workers space in the line but some are slowly moving away said Mark Lauritsen a former hog slaughter worker who now advocates on behalf of about
250000 meatpacking and food processing workers under the United Food and Commercial Workers union
ldquoFor example Colorado has not moved meatpacking and meat-processing as high as some other states So wersquoll be directing a lot of our effort towards places like Colorado where we may be moved down the food chainrdquo
ldquoWersquore a union that has mem-bers in every state so we will be talking to every state to make
our case as to where our place in line should beEverybody is go-ing to be jockeying for a place in linerdquo
More than 20 large industries have urged officials to prioritize their workers including individ-ual companies such as ride-hail-ing company Uber Technologies Inc and food delivery provider DoorDash Inc and industry groups representing truck driv-ers teachers retail workers and other business sectors
As US companies push to get workers vaccinated states disagree on whorsquos essential

California becomes biggest US stateto launch virus contact-tracing app
OAKLAND - California on Monday announced an app to help people track their exposure to the coronavirus becoming the big-gest US state to take advantage of new technology from smart-phone software makers Apple Inc and Alphabet Incrsquos Google
Beginning on Thursday people in California can activate the ex-posure notifications tool from the settings menu on iPhones or by downloading the CA Notify App in the Google Play store on Android devices
The apps enable Bluetooth sig-nals between devices to determine
when they are in close proximity and the apps then anonymously alert users when a recent contact later tests positive At least 6 mil-lion people in the United States have tried the system in recent months across the 21 states and two territories that made apps available before California Colo-rado and New York are among other states with apps
Public health experts say adop-tion has lagged because of tech-nical shortcomings in the earliest apps privacy concerns and dis-missive attitudes toward taking precautions to avoid the virus
But California officials hope the app will be adopted quickly in a state that is home to many tech workers
The statersquos two most densely inhabited regions and its agri-cultural breadbasket went under stay-at-home orders in the last couple of days as the pandem-ic strains hospitals in the most populous US state
CA Notify had been tested on state university campuses since September The University of California San Diego will contin-ue to oversee the system and staff a user support phone hotline

India can bank on match-winner Pandya for next five years Kohli
SYDNEY - India captain Vi-rat Kohli has identified Har-dik Pandya as their ldquobankablerdquo match-winner for the next four to five years after the all-rounder dazzled in their series-clinching Twenty20 Interna-tional victory over Australia on Sunday
India needed 25 runs off the last two overs and Pandya deliv-ered in style smashing two sixes in the final over to secure a six-wicket victory with two balls to spare
ldquoHe has natural raw talent and now hersquos quite experienced having played quite a bit of T20 cricket in the IPL (Indian Pre-mier League) and playing for In-dia toordquo Kohli said after Indiarsquos second successive win in the three-match series
ldquoNow he realises that this is his time the next four-five years to become that bankable middle-order player that can win you games from anywhere
ldquoYou need that finisher and hersquos becoming that for us Hersquos
hungry hersquos got to keep getting betterrdquo
Pandya whose 42 not out off 22 balls earned him the Man of the Match award showed no signs of nerves even as the ask-ing run rate spiralled
ldquoI always believe as a cricket-er you have to improve with time
and I have taken some time but I think things are coming pretty well nowrdquo said the 27-year- old
ldquoNow my biggest goal (is) that I want to finish games where it matters the mostrdquo
Pandya said he was happy to bat wherever the team need him
ldquoIf time comes when I have to bat number four I donrsquot mindrdquo he added ldquoIf time comes where I have to finish the game I have to do that job as well whatever the team requiresrdquo
Tuesdayrsquos final Twenty20 match will also be played at the Sydney Cricket Ground

Rahane gets century boost ahead of key test role in Australia
SYDNEY - Indiarsquos Ajinkya Ra-hane crafted an unbeaten century in a warm-up match on Sunday to give himself a timely boost ahead of his major responsibility in the four-test series against Australia beginning later this month
With regular skipper Virat Kohli set to return home after the opening test in Adelaide to attend the birth of his first child Rahane will be in charge in the final three matches in Australia
The right-handed batsman made 108 not out to help the tour-ists overcome a top order wobble and reach 237-8 on day one of the three-day match against Australia A at Drummoyne Oval
Rahane hit 16 boundaries and a six an upper cut against James
Pattinson to reach the half-centu-ry mark
Number three Cheteshwar Pu-jara who was awarded man-of-
the-series when India won their maiden test series in Australia two seasons ago also spent qual-ity time in the middle and scored 54
While Rahane played in the recent Indian Premier League (IPL) in the United Arab Emir-ates this was Pujararsquos first com-petitive outing since a domestic Ranji Trophy match in early March
Pujara lasted 140 balls before falling to Pattinson who claimed 3-58 to signal his own prepared-ness for the test series
It was a mixed outing for the tourists as three of their top six batsmen including openers Prithvi Shaw and Shubman Gill fell for ducks

WASHINGTON DC - Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Ajit Pai who oversaw the repeal of landmark US net neutrality rules and a series of key spectrum auctions to address growing wireless needs said he plans to leave the commission on Jan 20
Pairsquos departure will come the same day President-elect Joe Biden is sworn into office Under
Pai the FCC voted 3-2 in 2017 to repeal the Obama administra-tionrsquos 2015 net neutrality rules barring internet service providers (ISPs) from blocking or slowing internet content or offering paid ldquofast lanesrdquo
The FCC voted in October to maintain the repeal ldquoIt is pa-tently obvious to all but the most devoted members of the net neu-trality cult that the case against the (net neutrality repeal) was a shamrdquo Pai said in October
FCC chairman Ajit Pai plans to step down Democrats are likely to attempt
to reinstate the 2015 rules when they take control of the FCC and argue they are crucial to main-taining an open internet
Pai who was tapped by Presi-dent Donald Trump to lead the agency in January 2017 had said the FCC needed to take a ldquoweed whackerrdquo to unneeded rules He oversaw the repeal of numerous prior regulations
Trump has pressed the FCC to adopt new rules to limit the legal
protections of social media com-panies like Twitter
Pai said in October his agency would move forward to set new rules to clarify the meaning of a key legal protection for social media companies but took no for-mal action
The Senate Commerce Com-mittee is set to vote on the nomi-nation of Nathan Simington a senior administration official to a seat on the FCC after Trump withdrew the nomination of FCC Commissioner Mike OrsquoRielly for another term after he made statements questioning the FCCrsquos
authority to move ahead with new social media regulations
In October 2017 Pai rejected Trumprsquos tweet the FCC could challenge the license of Comcast Corprsquos NBC over stories Trump asserted were not true
Pai convinced hundreds of internet providers to agree for months not to cancel service for customers impacted by the coronavirus pandemic
Pai also backed the $26 bil-lion tie-up of Sprint Corp and T-Mobile US after the companies agreed to deploy a next genera-tion 5G network

MUMBAI - India may ap-prove some coronavirus vac-cines over the next few weeks and an estimated 300 million people would be innoculated in the first tranche the coun-tryrsquos top health official said on Tuesday
ldquoThere are multiple vaccine candidates in different stages of
development and some of them may get licensed in the next few weeksrdquo federal health secretary Rajesh Bhushan told a press briefing in New Delhi
Over the weekend Pfizer Inc sought emergency-use authori-sation in India followed by As-tra Zenecarsquos Covishield vaccine which is being manufactured in
India could authorise vaccines in weeks 300 million on priority listIndia by the Serum Institute of India
Bhushan said Indiarsquos Bharat Biotech has also sought emer-gency-use authorization from the Indian drug regulator for its COVID-19 vaccine called Co-vaxin which it is developing in collaboration with the gov-ernment-run Indian Council of
Medical ResearchIndian Prime Minister Nar-
endra Modirsquos government has identified 300 million people including healthcare workers policemen and citizens above the age of 50 who would be administered a vaccine on a priority basis Bhushan said
ldquoEvery single Indian who needs to be vaccinated will be vaccinatedrdquo Bhushan said adding that the government ex-pected the vaccination process to take over a year to complete
More than 154000 health-
care workers had been identified to help conduct the vaccina-tion drive and the country had enough cold chain capacity to innoculate the first 30 million people Bhushan said
India has recorded 97 million cases of the novel coronavirus - the second highest in the world - and more than 140000 people have died of COVID-19
On Tuesday the country re-ported 26567 new infections the lowest daily increase since July 10 according to a Reuters tally
Indian doctors find lead nickel in blood samples after hundreds suffer mystery illness
By Jatindra Dashand Sudarshan Varadhan
BHUBANESWAR - Indian authorities said on Tuesday they found traces of lead and nickel particles in blood samples after hundreds of people were hospi-talised due to an unknown illness in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh
Teams of doctors including those from New Delhirsquos premier All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) are investigat-ing the death of one person and hospitalisation of more than 400 in the past few days
Andhra Pradeshrsquos state govern-ment said on Tuesday the AIIMS
team had found traces of lead and nickel in their samples while a second hospital is also running similar tests
The illness has infected more than 300 children with most of them suffering from dizzi-ness fainting spells headaches and vomiting They have tested negative for COVID-19
High levels of lead in the bloodstream can impair develop-ment of brains nervous systems and vital organs such as heart and lungs
Earlier on Tuesday federal law-maker GVL Narasimha Rao who is from the state said on Twitter that he had spoken with govern-ment medical experts and that the
ldquomost likely cause is poisonous organochlorine substancesrdquo
ldquoIt is one of the possibilitiesrdquo said Geeta Prasadini a public health director in Andhra Pradesh state adding they were awaiting test reports to ascertain the cause
She said no new serious cases have come to light in the past 24 hours A 45-year-old man died over the weekend
Organochlorines here are banned or restricted in many countries after research linked them to cancer and other poten-tial health risks However some of the pollutants remain in the environment for years and build up in animal and human body fat

NEW DELHI - Thousands of Indian farmers angered by farm laws that they say threaten their livelihoods have intensified their protests by blocking highways and camping out on the outskirts of the capital Delhi
The government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and leaders of protesting farmersrsquo unions have held several rounds of talks but have not made any progress in breaking the dead-
lock over the set of laws passed by parliament in September
Although various farmer unions have supported the pro-test the agitation is largely led by the growers of relatively well-off states of Punjab and Haryana in Indiarsquos north
Every year the Indian govern-ment spends billions of dollars on buying millions of tonnes of rice and wheat from Punjab and Haryana and the worldrsquos most expensive food procure-ment program has now become
the centrepiece of Indiarsquos biggest farmersrsquo protest in years
After calculating the cost of cultivation the state-run Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP) an-nounces Minimum Support Prices (MSPs) for more than 22 commodities yearly to set a benchmark
Although every year the CACP announces MSPs for most crops the Food Corporation of India (FCI) the main state-run
grain procurement agency buys only rice and wheat at those pric-es due to a lack of storage and funds
After buying rice and wheat from farmers at MSPs the FCI sells the staples at highly sub-sidised prices to the poor The government compensates the FCI for its losses
Guaranteed prices offered by the FCI encourage farmers to pro-duce large quantities of rice and wheat Higher production puts
pressure on the FCI to buy extra supplies from farmers resulting in overflowing state warehouses and a ballooning subsidy bill that often pushes up the budget deficit
Despite sitting on massive mounds of rice and wheat the FCI finds it challenging to export as the annual rise in MSPs and its own storage costs make FCIrsquos rice and wheat more expen-sive than world prices making overseas sales uneconomic
Indiarsquos multi-billion dollar food program is at the heart of farmersrsquo protests

NEW DELHI - India sum-moned Canadarsquos ambassador last Friday and said comments made by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over protests by farm-ers near Delhi were an interfer-ence in its domestic affairs and would seriously hurt bilateral ties
Trudeau speaking to the In-dian community in Canada said this week that he was concerned about the farmers most of them from the Sikh-dominated state of Punjab camped out on the
outskirts of Delhi in a protest against farm reforms
The Indian foreign ministry said in a statement that com-ments on ldquoissues relating to In-dian farmers constitute an un-acceptable interference in our internal affairsrdquo
India and Canada have warm ties but in recent years there has been concern in India that some Sikh leaders in Canada have ties to separatist groups hostile to India
Canada is home to an influen-tial Sikh community and Indian leaders say there are some fringe
groups there that are still sympa-thetic to the cause of an indepen-dent Sikh state called Khalistan carved out of India
The Indian foreign ministry said comments made by Trudeau and other leaders had embold-ened radical groups and they were a risk to its diplomatic staff based in Canada
ldquoWe expect the Canadian Government to ensure the full-est security of Indian diplomatic personnel and its political lead-ers to refrain from pronounce-ments that legitimize extremist activismrdquo it said

MOVIE REVIEW
Itrsquos been eight months since
the last big Hindi film Angrezi Medium hit screens Once the lockdown kicked in films be-gan to go online even the ones starring A-listers But produc-ers of some small films decided to wait for cinemas to reopen Last month cinemas finally got the go-ahead in most parts of the country while on November 5 the prime state of Maharashtra too gave its nod This prompted Zee Studios to release Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari on Diwali on the big screen The trailer of the film has been impressive and carries a good vibe So does Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari manage to en-tertain and give viewers a good time Or does it falter Letrsquos analyse
Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari is the story of a feud between a wedding detective and a dairy owner The year is 1995 Suraj Singh Dhillon (Diljit Dosanjh) is a single guy from Mumbai and the heir of Jai Mata Rani Doodh Bhandar He lives with his fa-ther Gurnaam Dhillon (Manoj Pahwa) mother Yeshodha Dhil-lon (Seema Pahwa) and sister Guddi (Vanshika Sharma) His parents are looking for a right match but their efforts are futile
Surajs sidekick Sukhi (Manuj Sharma) tells him to be cool and a bad boy and that it would help attract girls Suraj likes the idea and as part of his stint as a cool bad boy he breaks the traf-fic signal and consumes alcohol in front of a girlrsquos college Mean-while his parents find a match for him An excited Suraj goes to the girlrsquos house with his par-ents But the girlrsquos parents refuse their proposal because they had the pictures of Suraj while he was in his bad boy avatar Suraj is dejected and is dying to know who clicked his pictures after all After cajoling the Pandit Dubey ji (Neeraj Sood) he gets to know that itrsquos none other than Madhu Mangal Rane (Manoj Bajpayee) a wedding detective He believes itrsquos his job to find flaws in the to-be grooms and thus save the lives of gullible girls and their families Suraj wants revenge but doesnrsquot know how He then realizes that Mangal has a sis-ter Tulshi Rane (Fatima Sana Shaikh) He decides to fake a relationship with her in order to get back at Mangal However he falls for her in real He expresses his love to Tulshi She however is hiding a shocking secret about her life and passion This secret gives Suraj the much needed op-portunity to damage Mangals reputation At the same time it can also dent his marriage pros-pects with Tulshi What happens next forms the rest of the film
Shokhi Banerjees story is very interesting and entertaining One might feel that the makers revealed almost the whole plot in the trailer But thatrsquos not the case as the film has a lot more to of-fer Rohan Shankars screenplay is entertaining for most parts The various twists and dramatic points are well fleshed out How-ever a few rough edges remain Also the humour quotient is lim-ited Rohan Shankars dialogues are hilarious and a few of them are sure to induce claps
Abhishek Sharmas direction is neat He deserves brownie
points for keeping the mood of the film light from start to finish The film never gets too heavy even in no-nonsense situations Also the film is replete with some very quirky characters and he makes good use of them to add to the fun Moreover the film cel-ebrates the Marathi culture and the middle-class lifestyle of the city It fondly also reminds one of the simple slice-of-life films made by Hrishikesh Mukherjee and Basu Chatterjee On the flip-side some of the portions of the first half arenrsquot upto the mark es-pecially the lsquoBad Boyrsquo sequence A few developments are hard to digest especially the track of the professor deciding not to take any action against his wife despite the latter cheating on him Also the manner in which Madhu plans the breaking off the engagement ceremony of his sister is a bit too much Mangalrsquos change of heart
in the climax also comes across as very unconvincing Thank-fully the Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge [1995] inspired climax makes up for it
Anshuman Mahaleys cin-ematography is first-rate Rajat Poddars production design is authentic and reminds one of the 90s Vijay Gangulys choreogra-phy is appealing in Basanti Jia Bhagia and Mallika Chauhans costumes are realistic for all the characters Fatemarsquos clothes however donrsquot seem to be of 1995 but nevertheless looks glamorous Rameshwar Bhagats editing is fair
On the whole Suraj Pe Man-gal Bhari is a decent entertain-er and a clean family film that works because of its plot the depiction of the mid-90s era and the performances

WASHINGTON - IBM and US offi cials are sounding the alarm over hackers targeting companies critical to the distribu-tion of COVID-19 vaccines
IBM said last Thursday that the campaign was a sign that digital spies are turning their attention to the complex logistical work in-volved in inoculating the worldrsquos population against the novel coronavirus although some out-side experts questioned whether that was the hackersrsquo focus
In a blog post here published last Thursday IBM said it had uncovered ldquoa global phishing campaignrdquo focused on organi-zations associated with the CO-VID-19 vaccine ldquocold chainrdquo - the process needed to keep vaccine doses at extremely cold temperatures as they travel from manufacturers to peoplersquos arms
The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency reposted the report warning here members of Operation Warp Speed - the US governmentrsquos
national vaccine mission - to be on the lookout
Other cybsecurity experts expressed some skepticism however of IBMrsquos fi ndings
Joe Slowik a researcher at on-line threat intelligence fi rm Do-mainTools said he believed IBM had stumbled upon ldquoa subset of activityrdquo that was part of a much wider campaign ldquowhich may not be focused on vaccines or similar activityrdquo
While ldquodefi nitely maliciousrdquo Slowik said he was not convinced it was specifi cally focused on vaccine distribution
Who is behind the espionage is not clear Messages sent to the email addresses used by the hackers were not returned
Understanding how to build a secure cold chain is fundamental to distributing vaccines devel-oped by the likes of Pfi zer Inc and BioNTech because the shots need to be stored at minus 70 de-grees Celsius (-94 F) or below to avoid spoiling
Hackers target groups in COVID-19 vaccine distribution says IBM
IBMrsquos cybersecurity unit said it had detected an advanced group of hackers working to gather in-formation about diff erent aspects of the cold chain using meticu-lously crafted booby-trapped emails sent in the name of an ex-ecutive with Haier Biomedical a Chinese cold chain provider that specializes in vaccine transport
and biological sample storageHaier Medical did not return
messages seeking commentTargets included companies
involved in the manufacture of solar panels which are used to power vaccine refrigerators in warm countries and petrochemi-cal products that could be used to derive dry ice
Amazon eyes potential $100 million investment in Indiarsquos Apollo Pharmacy
BENGALURU - Amazoncom Inc is considering a nearly $100 million investment in In-diarsquos pharmacy chain Apollo Pharmacy facing up to Reliance Industries Ltd and Tata Group in the countryrsquos fast-growing drug market the Economic Times re-ported on Wednesday citing two people aware of the plans
Amazon already delivers med-icines in India and the potential investment would come amid rising competition from Muke-sh Ambanirsquos Reliance which bought a majority stake in online pharmacy Netmeds
Tata Group here meanwhile
was reportedly in talks to pick up a majority stake in e-pharma-cy fi rm 1mg
Both Amazon and Apollo Hospitals which owns Apollo Pharmacy declined to comment
The growth of e-pharmacies however has left many Indian trader groups feeling threatened who say online drugstores can contribute to medicine sales without proper verifi cation and the entry of large players can cause unemployment in the sector
Amazonrsquos plan to further ex-pand in India also comes close on the heels of its launch of an online pharmacy to deliver pre-scription drugs in the United States increasing competi-tion with drug retailers such as Walgreens CVS Health and Walmart

NEW YORK - Indiarsquos econ-omy will return to growth in 202122 after a sharp con-traction in the latest year and higher public spending will lay the foundation for stronger growth in the next four to five years Finance Minister Nirma-la Sitharaman told Reuters last Thursday
With the worldrsquos second high-est number of coronavirus cases despite a severe lockdown of its 13 billion people early in the pandemic Indiarsquos economy is expected to contract nearly 10 in the 202021 financial year
But a recovery is taking hold now Sitharaman told the Reuters Global Investment Outlook Summit 2021
ldquoI would think 2021-22 will be very big good traction year
Indiarsquos economy on the rebound govt focuses on spending Sitharamanfor achieving a really good rate of growth that itself is going to be a launching pad for 4-5 years of growing at a good speed pro-vided we do enough on the bud-get and spend on infrastructurerdquo she said She gave no numbers about how big a government spending increase she planned to propose
Because the Indian govern-ment was concerned about its budget deficit its stimulus to
fight the economic slump during the pandemic was more mod-est than those of other countries such as the United States Japan and the United Kingdom
Sitharaman suggested the government should spend more in the months ahead to boost the growth rate
ldquoI have to be conscious that if I donrsquot spend now then the stim-ulus is meaningless if I donrsquot spend now the revival is going to get deferred and we canrsquot afford thatrdquo
The pace of the recovery would however depend on de-
velopment and adequate sup-ply of coronavirus vaccines economists say
India does not yet have a vac-cine purchase contract with any company but has said it will rely mainly on five being tested in the country including the Oxford-AstraZeneca one and Russiarsquos Sputnik V
Sitharaman said the govern-ment was bulking up the logis-tics including sufficient cold storage facilities to ensure de-livery of the vaccine down to the village councils across the country
RBI holds rates says will ensure ample liquidityMUMBAI - The Reserve Bank
of India (RBI) kept its key interest rates steady as widely expected last Friday amid persistently high inflation but said it will ensure ample liquidity is provided to stressed sectors to keep a nascent economic recovery on track
Its monetary policy committee decided to retain an accommoda-tive policy stance at least for the current financial year and into the next to revive growth on a du-rable basis while ensuring that inflation remains within target Governor Shaktikanta Das said in an online briefing
Das said the economy was re-bounding faster than expected
from a coronavirus-induced slump earlier in the year but warned signs of recovery were far from being broad based CO-VID-19 infections are also con-tinuing to climb with the tally now 957 million people
Das said MPC members voted unanimously to hold rates and re-tain the stance The key lending rate of the RBI or the repo rate was left unchanged at 4 while the reverse repo rate or the key borrowing rate stayed at 335
ldquoThe MPC is of the view that inflation is likely to remain el-evated barring transient relief in the winter months from prices of perishablesrdquo Das said
ldquoThis constrains monetary pol-icy at the current juncture from using the space available to act in support of growthrdquo
Indian stocks extended earlier gains to hit record highs after the decision while the Indian rupee strengthened slightly to 7376 against the dollar The bench-mark 10-year bond yield fell 3 basis points to 590
Das announced measures to help improve access to funding for stressed sectors and said the RBI will take further steps when necessary to ensure ample rupee liquidity to sustain visible growth impulses without impacting inflation

Telemarketing fraudster pleads guiltyPROVIDENCE RI - An Indian
national last week admitted to a federal judge in Providence that he participated in a wide-ranging conspiracy based in India to de-fraud United States citizens pri-marily seniors by telling victims that malware had been detected on their computers and based on that falsehood induced the vic-tims to direct money to him and his co-conspirators as payment for purported computer protection services that were not needed or ever provided
The conspirators in fact did not detect malware on victimsrsquo computers and accepted payment without providing any protection services
Himanshu Asri 33 of Delhi In-dia admitted that he had 325 call-ers routed to call centers in India where call center operators falsely reasserted to victims that malware had been detected on their com-puters and offered the victims purported computer protection services in exchange for payment The purpose of the false assertions was to induce people into routing money to the fraudsters
According to information pre-sented to the court from as far back as January 2015 through January 2020 Asri and others working together collected in
total approximately $940995 from victims through their fraud and attempted to collect between $1500000 and $3000000 The actual loss was less than the in-tended loss because some of those who were targeted by Asri and his coconspirators did not send any funds to the fraudsters
According to information pre-sented to the court the govern-ment and the defendant agree that many of Asrirsquos victims were vulnerable to fraud schemes due to age or infirmity and the parties agree that the scheme pursued by Asri and his coconspirators were structured to exploit such persons specifically persons over the age of 65
Appearing last week before
US District Court Chief Judge John J McConnell Jr Asri pleaded guilty to wire fraud con-spiracy announced United States Attorney Aaron L Weisman and Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Boston Division Joseph R Bonavolonta
Asri the 4th India-based tele-marketing fraudster to be convict-ed in federal court in Rhode Island in the past three months is sched-uled to be sentenced on February 18 2021 Wire fraud conspiracy is punishable by statutory penalties of up to 20 years in prison three years of supervised release and a fine of $250000
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant US Attorney Milind M Shah

California serial arson suspect arrested after garage doors car set on fire
FREMONT CA - Police in Fremont on Tuesday morning ar-rested a serial arson suspect who allegedly tried to light the ga-rage doors of multiple residenc-es on fire after he ignited a car according to authorities
Detectives arrested 44-year-old Fremont resident Roshan Patel after a series of four garage door fires over the past week De-tectives conducted surveillance on Patel and observed him set a vehicle on fire early this morn-ing He was arrested as he ran back to his vehicle
According to a news release undercover detectives were con-
ducting surveillance for Patel who was suspected of being in-volved in at least four residen-tial garage door fires that had happened since December 1st
Fremont officers located pri-vate residential camera footage that provided a general descrip-tion of the suspect vehicle De-tectives then matched that foot-age to the Community Camera network which then provided a license plate for the suspect ve-hicle
Detectives were surveilling Patel early Tuesday morning when he led them to the same house he had targeted on Hoyt
Street at approximately 245 am Detectives saw Patel get out of his vehicle and pour a liquid on a parked vehicle
Police detectives tried to con-tact Patel before he could ignite the vehicle but he was able to set the vehicle on fire Authorities were able to arrest the suspect as he ran back to his vehicle and extinguished the car fire with a nearby garden hose
Patel was arrested on arson charges and booked at the Fre-mont City Jail Detectives de-termined that Patel knew at least one of the residents that he had targeted in his arson attacks

Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine data wins backing of FDA authorization nears
By Manas Mishra Michael Erman and Rebecca Spalding
Pfi zer Inc cleared the next hurdle in the race to get its COVID-19 vaccine ap-proved for emergency use on Tuesday after the US Food and Drug Administra-tion (FDA) released documents that raised no new issues about its safety or effi cacy
Pfi zer and German partner BioNTech SE said last month their coronavirus vac-cinersquos two-dose regimen was 95 eff ec-tive against COVID-19 and had no ma-jor safety issues and asked the FDA for emergency use authorization
The vaccinersquos effi cacy and safety data met its expectations for emergency use authorization FDA staff said in docu-ments released ahead of a Thursday meet-ing of outside experts to the FDA who will discuss whether to recommend the Pfi zer
shot for people aged 16 and olderJeff eries analyst Michael Yee said in
research note the documents were ldquovery simple and straightforward which we think will lead to approval imminentlyrdquo
The agency typically follows the rec-ommendations of its advisory panels but is not required to do so It is not clear how many days or weeks the FDA will take to make a decision but states are prepping for vaccine deliveries in mid-December
The documents were released on the day Britons began getting the Pfi zerBi-oNTech vaccine the worldrsquos fi rst recipi-ents outside of clinical trials
ldquoThere are no surprises here The ef-fi cacy and the safety is consistent with what we heard and what we hoped for It does look like the vaccine is safe at least in the short termrdquo said Dr Daniel Culver chair of Pulmonary Medicine at Cleveland Clinic in an interview He said the data showing it was as eff ective in older people as in younger people was reassuring
Pfi zer shares rose nearly 2 and BioN-Techrsquos US shares were up 25 in early trading
Pfi zer Chief Executive Albert Bourla said on Tuesday he expects a ldquovery in-tenserdquo meeting with a US vaccine advi-sory panel this week but is counting on the panel of outside experts to sign off on his companyrsquos COVID-19 vaccine candi-date
ldquoI think they will vote lsquoyesrsquo given the strength of the datardquo Bourla said at a
conference hosted by a pharmaceutical industry group
PROTECTION AFTER ONE SHOTData from the trial showed that the vac-
cine began conferring some protection to recipients even before they received the sec-ond shot the FDA said The eff ect became most pronounced about 14 days after people received the fi rst shot
The agencyrsquos staff noted that more data would be needed to assess the potential of a single-dose shot It said that the effi cacy after dose 1 and before dose 2 was around 52 percent
A two-dose vaccination was highly eff ec-tive in preventing confi rmed cases of COV-ID-19 at least seven days after the last dose FDA staff said
The FDA staff also said that available data while limited suggested the people who had been previously infected with the new coronavirus could benefi t from vac-
cination Very few cases of confi rmed CO-VID-19 occurred among participants with evidence of infection prior to vaccination though more of those that did were in the placebo group than the vaccine group the staff said
FDA staff also said that the trial which was designed to look at eff ectiveness against COVID-19 did not produce data to answer the question of if it also stopped infection
In terms of safety the FDA staff said there was currently insuffi cient data to make conclusions about the safety of the vaccine in people below 16 years of age pregnant women and those with compromised immune systems
There were a total of six deaths in the 44000 person trial with two deaths among those who got the vaccine and the rest in those who received a placebo the docu-ments showed All deaths represent events that occur in the general population at a similar rate FDA staff said

NEW YORK - Companies and industry groups lobbying to get their US workers to the front of the line for COVID vaccination are running into a patchwork of state plans and confusion over who is essential and who is not
Inoculation against the disease caused by the novel coronavirus is key to safely reopening large parts of the economy and reduc-ing the risks of illness at crowd-ed meatpacking plants factories and warehouses
But before one needle has en-tered the arm of an American
worker confusion has broken out over who exactly is consid-ered essential during a pandemic
With initial vaccine doses limited and strong federal guid-ance lacking it has fallen to US states to determine who will be first in line to receive a vaccine and who will have to wait well into next year
State vaccine distribution plans reviewed by Reuters showed broad discrepancies over who would be considered essential with some states clearly outlin-ing specific worker groups and
others not providing any clarityGenerally states have broad
discretion when it comes to vac-cine distribution and policy and are able to issue vaccination mandates for their residents
Many states have so far fol-lowed federal guidance to give meat and food processing indus-try workers space in the line but some are slowly moving away said Mark Lauritsen a former hog slaughter worker who now advocates on behalf of about
250000 meatpacking and food processing workers under the United Food and Commercial Workers union
ldquoFor example Colorado has not moved meatpacking and meat-processing as high as some other states So wersquoll be directing a lot of our effort towards places like Colorado where we may be moved down the food chainrdquo
ldquoWersquore a union that has mem-bers in every state so we will be talking to every state to make
our case as to where our place in line should beEverybody is go-ing to be jockeying for a place in linerdquo
More than 20 large industries have urged officials to prioritize their workers including individ-ual companies such as ride-hail-ing company Uber Technologies Inc and food delivery provider DoorDash Inc and industry groups representing truck driv-ers teachers retail workers and other business sectors
As US companies push to get workers vaccinated states disagree on whorsquos essential

California becomes biggest US stateto launch virus contact-tracing app
OAKLAND - California on Monday announced an app to help people track their exposure to the coronavirus becoming the big-gest US state to take advantage of new technology from smart-phone software makers Apple Inc and Alphabet Incrsquos Google
Beginning on Thursday people in California can activate the ex-posure notifications tool from the settings menu on iPhones or by downloading the CA Notify App in the Google Play store on Android devices
The apps enable Bluetooth sig-nals between devices to determine
when they are in close proximity and the apps then anonymously alert users when a recent contact later tests positive At least 6 mil-lion people in the United States have tried the system in recent months across the 21 states and two territories that made apps available before California Colo-rado and New York are among other states with apps
Public health experts say adop-tion has lagged because of tech-nical shortcomings in the earliest apps privacy concerns and dis-missive attitudes toward taking precautions to avoid the virus
But California officials hope the app will be adopted quickly in a state that is home to many tech workers
The statersquos two most densely inhabited regions and its agri-cultural breadbasket went under stay-at-home orders in the last couple of days as the pandem-ic strains hospitals in the most populous US state
CA Notify had been tested on state university campuses since September The University of California San Diego will contin-ue to oversee the system and staff a user support phone hotline

India can bank on match-winner Pandya for next five years Kohli
SYDNEY - India captain Vi-rat Kohli has identified Har-dik Pandya as their ldquobankablerdquo match-winner for the next four to five years after the all-rounder dazzled in their series-clinching Twenty20 Interna-tional victory over Australia on Sunday
India needed 25 runs off the last two overs and Pandya deliv-ered in style smashing two sixes in the final over to secure a six-wicket victory with two balls to spare
ldquoHe has natural raw talent and now hersquos quite experienced having played quite a bit of T20 cricket in the IPL (Indian Pre-mier League) and playing for In-dia toordquo Kohli said after Indiarsquos second successive win in the three-match series
ldquoNow he realises that this is his time the next four-five years to become that bankable middle-order player that can win you games from anywhere
ldquoYou need that finisher and hersquos becoming that for us Hersquos
hungry hersquos got to keep getting betterrdquo
Pandya whose 42 not out off 22 balls earned him the Man of the Match award showed no signs of nerves even as the ask-ing run rate spiralled
ldquoI always believe as a cricket-er you have to improve with time
and I have taken some time but I think things are coming pretty well nowrdquo said the 27-year- old
ldquoNow my biggest goal (is) that I want to finish games where it matters the mostrdquo
Pandya said he was happy to bat wherever the team need him
ldquoIf time comes when I have to bat number four I donrsquot mindrdquo he added ldquoIf time comes where I have to finish the game I have to do that job as well whatever the team requiresrdquo
Tuesdayrsquos final Twenty20 match will also be played at the Sydney Cricket Ground

Rahane gets century boost ahead of key test role in Australia
SYDNEY - Indiarsquos Ajinkya Ra-hane crafted an unbeaten century in a warm-up match on Sunday to give himself a timely boost ahead of his major responsibility in the four-test series against Australia beginning later this month
With regular skipper Virat Kohli set to return home after the opening test in Adelaide to attend the birth of his first child Rahane will be in charge in the final three matches in Australia
The right-handed batsman made 108 not out to help the tour-ists overcome a top order wobble and reach 237-8 on day one of the three-day match against Australia A at Drummoyne Oval
Rahane hit 16 boundaries and a six an upper cut against James
Pattinson to reach the half-centu-ry mark
Number three Cheteshwar Pu-jara who was awarded man-of-
the-series when India won their maiden test series in Australia two seasons ago also spent qual-ity time in the middle and scored 54
While Rahane played in the recent Indian Premier League (IPL) in the United Arab Emir-ates this was Pujararsquos first com-petitive outing since a domestic Ranji Trophy match in early March
Pujara lasted 140 balls before falling to Pattinson who claimed 3-58 to signal his own prepared-ness for the test series
It was a mixed outing for the tourists as three of their top six batsmen including openers Prithvi Shaw and Shubman Gill fell for ducks

ldquoThere are multiple vaccine candidates in different stages of
development and some of them may get licensed in the next few weeksrdquo federal health secretary Rajesh Bhushan told a press briefing in New Delhi
Over the weekend Pfizer Inc sought emergency-use authori-sation in India followed by As-tra Zenecarsquos Covishield vaccine which is being manufactured in
India could authorise vaccines in weeks 300 million on priority listIndia by the Serum Institute of India

Indian doctors find lead nickel in blood samples after hundreds suffer mystery illness
By Jatindra Dashand Sudarshan Varadhan
BHUBANESWAR - Indian authorities said on Tuesday they found traces of lead and nickel particles in blood samples after hundreds of people were hospi-talised due to an unknown illness in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh
Teams of doctors including those from New Delhirsquos premier All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) are investigat-ing the death of one person and hospitalisation of more than 400 in the past few days
Andhra Pradeshrsquos state govern-ment said on Tuesday the AIIMS
team had found traces of lead and nickel in their samples while a second hospital is also running similar tests
The illness has infected more than 300 children with most of them suffering from dizzi-ness fainting spells headaches and vomiting They have tested negative for COVID-19
High levels of lead in the bloodstream can impair develop-ment of brains nervous systems and vital organs such as heart and lungs
Earlier on Tuesday federal law-maker GVL Narasimha Rao who is from the state said on Twitter that he had spoken with govern-ment medical experts and that the
ldquomost likely cause is poisonous organochlorine substancesrdquo
ldquoIt is one of the possibilitiesrdquo said Geeta Prasadini a public health director in Andhra Pradesh state adding they were awaiting test reports to ascertain the cause
She said no new serious cases have come to light in the past 24 hours A 45-year-old man died over the weekend
Organochlorines here are banned or restricted in many countries after research linked them to cancer and other poten-tial health risks However some of the pollutants remain in the environment for years and build up in animal and human body fat

NEW DELHI - Thousands of Indian farmers angered by farm laws that they say threaten their livelihoods have intensified their protests by blocking highways and camping out on the outskirts of the capital Delhi
The government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and leaders of protesting farmersrsquo unions have held several rounds of talks but have not made any progress in breaking the dead-
lock over the set of laws passed by parliament in September
Although various farmer unions have supported the pro-test the agitation is largely led by the growers of relatively well-off states of Punjab and Haryana in Indiarsquos north
Every year the Indian govern-ment spends billions of dollars on buying millions of tonnes of rice and wheat from Punjab and Haryana and the worldrsquos most expensive food procure-ment program has now become
the centrepiece of Indiarsquos biggest farmersrsquo protest in years
After calculating the cost of cultivation the state-run Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP) an-nounces Minimum Support Prices (MSPs) for more than 22 commodities yearly to set a benchmark
Although every year the CACP announces MSPs for most crops the Food Corporation of India (FCI) the main state-run
grain procurement agency buys only rice and wheat at those pric-es due to a lack of storage and funds
After buying rice and wheat from farmers at MSPs the FCI sells the staples at highly sub-sidised prices to the poor The government compensates the FCI for its losses
Guaranteed prices offered by the FCI encourage farmers to pro-duce large quantities of rice and wheat Higher production puts
pressure on the FCI to buy extra supplies from farmers resulting in overflowing state warehouses and a ballooning subsidy bill that often pushes up the budget deficit
Despite sitting on massive mounds of rice and wheat the FCI finds it challenging to export as the annual rise in MSPs and its own storage costs make FCIrsquos rice and wheat more expen-sive than world prices making overseas sales uneconomic
Indiarsquos multi-billion dollar food program is at the heart of farmersrsquo protests

Farmers protest against the newly passed farm bills at Singhu border near Delhi India on December 4 2020
India formally protests to Canada over Trudeau remarks on farm protests
By Sanjeev Miglani
NEW DELHI - India sum-moned Canadarsquos ambassador last Friday and said comments made by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over protests by farm-ers near Delhi were an interfer-ence in its domestic affairs and would seriously hurt bilateral ties
Trudeau speaking to the In-dian community in Canada said this week that he was concerned about the farmers most of them from the Sikh-dominated state of Punjab camped out on the
outskirts of Delhi in a protest against farm reforms
The Indian foreign ministry said in a statement that com-ments on ldquoissues relating to In-dian farmers constitute an un-acceptable interference in our internal affairsrdquo
India and Canada have warm ties but in recent years there has been concern in India that some Sikh leaders in Canada have ties to separatist groups hostile to India
Canada is home to an influen-tial Sikh community and Indian leaders say there are some fringe
groups there that are still sympa-thetic to the cause of an indepen-dent Sikh state called Khalistan carved out of India
The Indian foreign ministry said comments made by Trudeau and other leaders had embold-ened radical groups and they were a risk to its diplomatic staff based in Canada
ldquoWe expect the Canadian Government to ensure the full-est security of Indian diplomatic personnel and its political lead-ers to refrain from pronounce-ments that legitimize extremist activismrdquo it said

MOVIE REVIEW
Itrsquos been eight months since
the last big Hindi film Angrezi Medium hit screens Once the lockdown kicked in films be-gan to go online even the ones starring A-listers But produc-ers of some small films decided to wait for cinemas to reopen Last month cinemas finally got the go-ahead in most parts of the country while on November 5 the prime state of Maharashtra too gave its nod This prompted Zee Studios to release Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari on Diwali on the big screen The trailer of the film has been impressive and carries a good vibe So does Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari manage to en-tertain and give viewers a good time Or does it falter Letrsquos analyse
Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari is the story of a feud between a wedding detective and a dairy owner The year is 1995 Suraj Singh Dhillon (Diljit Dosanjh) is a single guy from Mumbai and the heir of Jai Mata Rani Doodh Bhandar He lives with his fa-ther Gurnaam Dhillon (Manoj Pahwa) mother Yeshodha Dhil-lon (Seema Pahwa) and sister Guddi (Vanshika Sharma) His parents are looking for a right match but their efforts are futile
Surajs sidekick Sukhi (Manuj Sharma) tells him to be cool and a bad boy and that it would help attract girls Suraj likes the idea and as part of his stint as a cool bad boy he breaks the traf-fic signal and consumes alcohol in front of a girlrsquos college Mean-while his parents find a match for him An excited Suraj goes to the girlrsquos house with his par-ents But the girlrsquos parents refuse their proposal because they had the pictures of Suraj while he was in his bad boy avatar Suraj is dejected and is dying to know who clicked his pictures after all After cajoling the Pandit Dubey ji (Neeraj Sood) he gets to know that itrsquos none other than Madhu Mangal Rane (Manoj Bajpayee) a wedding detective He believes itrsquos his job to find flaws in the to-be grooms and thus save the lives of gullible girls and their families Suraj wants revenge but doesnrsquot know how He then realizes that Mangal has a sis-ter Tulshi Rane (Fatima Sana Shaikh) He decides to fake a relationship with her in order to get back at Mangal However he falls for her in real He expresses his love to Tulshi She however is hiding a shocking secret about her life and passion This secret gives Suraj the much needed op-portunity to damage Mangals reputation At the same time it can also dent his marriage pros-pects with Tulshi What happens next forms the rest of the film
Shokhi Banerjees story is very interesting and entertaining One might feel that the makers revealed almost the whole plot in the trailer But thatrsquos not the case as the film has a lot more to of-fer Rohan Shankars screenplay is entertaining for most parts The various twists and dramatic points are well fleshed out How-ever a few rough edges remain Also the humour quotient is lim-ited Rohan Shankars dialogues are hilarious and a few of them are sure to induce claps
Abhishek Sharmas direction is neat He deserves brownie
points for keeping the mood of the film light from start to finish The film never gets too heavy even in no-nonsense situations Also the film is replete with some very quirky characters and he makes good use of them to add to the fun Moreover the film cel-ebrates the Marathi culture and the middle-class lifestyle of the city It fondly also reminds one of the simple slice-of-life films made by Hrishikesh Mukherjee and Basu Chatterjee On the flip-side some of the portions of the first half arenrsquot upto the mark es-pecially the lsquoBad Boyrsquo sequence A few developments are hard to digest especially the track of the professor deciding not to take any action against his wife despite the latter cheating on him Also the manner in which Madhu plans the breaking off the engagement ceremony of his sister is a bit too much Mangalrsquos change of heart
in the climax also comes across as very unconvincing Thank-fully the Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge [1995] inspired climax makes up for it
Anshuman Mahaleys cin-ematography is first-rate Rajat Poddars production design is authentic and reminds one of the 90s Vijay Gangulys choreogra-phy is appealing in Basanti Jia Bhagia and Mallika Chauhans costumes are realistic for all the characters Fatemarsquos clothes however donrsquot seem to be of 1995 but nevertheless looks glamorous Rameshwar Bhagats editing is fair
On the whole Suraj Pe Man-gal Bhari is a decent entertain-er and a clean family film that works because of its plot the depiction of the mid-90s era and the performances

WASHINGTON - IBM and US offi cials are sounding the alarm over hackers targeting companies critical to the distribu-tion of COVID-19 vaccines
IBM said last Thursday that the campaign was a sign that digital spies are turning their attention to the complex logistical work in-volved in inoculating the worldrsquos population against the novel coronavirus although some out-side experts questioned whether that was the hackersrsquo focus
In a blog post here published last Thursday IBM said it had uncovered ldquoa global phishing campaignrdquo focused on organi-zations associated with the CO-VID-19 vaccine ldquocold chainrdquo - the process needed to keep vaccine doses at extremely cold temperatures as they travel from manufacturers to peoplersquos arms
The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency reposted the report warning here members of Operation Warp Speed - the US governmentrsquos
national vaccine mission - to be on the lookout
Other cybsecurity experts expressed some skepticism however of IBMrsquos fi ndings
Joe Slowik a researcher at on-line threat intelligence fi rm Do-mainTools said he believed IBM had stumbled upon ldquoa subset of activityrdquo that was part of a much wider campaign ldquowhich may not be focused on vaccines or similar activityrdquo
While ldquodefi nitely maliciousrdquo Slowik said he was not convinced it was specifi cally focused on vaccine distribution
Who is behind the espionage is not clear Messages sent to the email addresses used by the hackers were not returned
Understanding how to build a secure cold chain is fundamental to distributing vaccines devel-oped by the likes of Pfi zer Inc and BioNTech because the shots need to be stored at minus 70 de-grees Celsius (-94 F) or below to avoid spoiling
Hackers target groups in COVID-19 vaccine distribution says IBM
IBMrsquos cybersecurity unit said it had detected an advanced group of hackers working to gather in-formation about diff erent aspects of the cold chain using meticu-lously crafted booby-trapped emails sent in the name of an ex-ecutive with Haier Biomedical a Chinese cold chain provider that specializes in vaccine transport
and biological sample storageHaier Medical did not return
messages seeking commentTargets included companies
involved in the manufacture of solar panels which are used to power vaccine refrigerators in warm countries and petrochemi-cal products that could be used to derive dry ice
Amazon eyes potential $100 million investment in Indiarsquos Apollo Pharmacy
BENGALURU - Amazoncom Inc is considering a nearly $100 million investment in In-diarsquos pharmacy chain Apollo Pharmacy facing up to Reliance Industries Ltd and Tata Group in the countryrsquos fast-growing drug market the Economic Times re-ported on Wednesday citing two people aware of the plans
Amazon already delivers med-icines in India and the potential investment would come amid rising competition from Muke-sh Ambanirsquos Reliance which bought a majority stake in online pharmacy Netmeds
Tata Group here meanwhile
was reportedly in talks to pick up a majority stake in e-pharma-cy fi rm 1mg
Both Amazon and Apollo Hospitals which owns Apollo Pharmacy declined to comment
The growth of e-pharmacies however has left many Indian trader groups feeling threatened who say online drugstores can contribute to medicine sales without proper verifi cation and the entry of large players can cause unemployment in the sector
Amazonrsquos plan to further ex-pand in India also comes close on the heels of its launch of an online pharmacy to deliver pre-scription drugs in the United States increasing competi-tion with drug retailers such as Walgreens CVS Health and Walmart

NEW YORK - Indiarsquos econ-omy will return to growth in 202122 after a sharp con-traction in the latest year and higher public spending will lay the foundation for stronger growth in the next four to five years Finance Minister Nirma-la Sitharaman told Reuters last Thursday
With the worldrsquos second high-est number of coronavirus cases despite a severe lockdown of its 13 billion people early in the pandemic Indiarsquos economy is expected to contract nearly 10 in the 202021 financial year
But a recovery is taking hold now Sitharaman told the Reuters Global Investment Outlook Summit 2021
ldquoI would think 2021-22 will be very big good traction year
Indiarsquos economy on the rebound govt focuses on spending Sitharamanfor achieving a really good rate of growth that itself is going to be a launching pad for 4-5 years of growing at a good speed pro-vided we do enough on the bud-get and spend on infrastructurerdquo she said She gave no numbers about how big a government spending increase she planned to propose
Because the Indian govern-ment was concerned about its budget deficit its stimulus to
fight the economic slump during the pandemic was more mod-est than those of other countries such as the United States Japan and the United Kingdom
Sitharaman suggested the government should spend more in the months ahead to boost the growth rate
ldquoI have to be conscious that if I donrsquot spend now then the stim-ulus is meaningless if I donrsquot spend now the revival is going to get deferred and we canrsquot afford thatrdquo
The pace of the recovery would however depend on de-
velopment and adequate sup-ply of coronavirus vaccines economists say
India does not yet have a vac-cine purchase contract with any company but has said it will rely mainly on five being tested in the country including the Oxford-AstraZeneca one and Russiarsquos Sputnik V
Sitharaman said the govern-ment was bulking up the logis-tics including sufficient cold storage facilities to ensure de-livery of the vaccine down to the village councils across the country
RBI holds rates says will ensure ample liquidityMUMBAI - The Reserve Bank
of India (RBI) kept its key interest rates steady as widely expected last Friday amid persistently high inflation but said it will ensure ample liquidity is provided to stressed sectors to keep a nascent economic recovery on track
Its monetary policy committee decided to retain an accommoda-tive policy stance at least for the current financial year and into the next to revive growth on a du-rable basis while ensuring that inflation remains within target Governor Shaktikanta Das said in an online briefing
Das said the economy was re-bounding faster than expected
from a coronavirus-induced slump earlier in the year but warned signs of recovery were far from being broad based CO-VID-19 infections are also con-tinuing to climb with the tally now 957 million people
Das said MPC members voted unanimously to hold rates and re-tain the stance The key lending rate of the RBI or the repo rate was left unchanged at 4 while the reverse repo rate or the key borrowing rate stayed at 335
ldquoThe MPC is of the view that inflation is likely to remain el-evated barring transient relief in the winter months from prices of perishablesrdquo Das said
ldquoThis constrains monetary pol-icy at the current juncture from using the space available to act in support of growthrdquo
Indian stocks extended earlier gains to hit record highs after the decision while the Indian rupee strengthened slightly to 7376 against the dollar The bench-mark 10-year bond yield fell 3 basis points to 590
Das announced measures to help improve access to funding for stressed sectors and said the RBI will take further steps when necessary to ensure ample rupee liquidity to sustain visible growth impulses without impacting inflation

Telemarketing fraudster pleads guiltyPROVIDENCE RI - An Indian
national last week admitted to a federal judge in Providence that he participated in a wide-ranging conspiracy based in India to de-fraud United States citizens pri-marily seniors by telling victims that malware had been detected on their computers and based on that falsehood induced the vic-tims to direct money to him and his co-conspirators as payment for purported computer protection services that were not needed or ever provided
The conspirators in fact did not detect malware on victimsrsquo computers and accepted payment without providing any protection services
Himanshu Asri 33 of Delhi In-dia admitted that he had 325 call-ers routed to call centers in India where call center operators falsely reasserted to victims that malware had been detected on their com-puters and offered the victims purported computer protection services in exchange for payment The purpose of the false assertions was to induce people into routing money to the fraudsters
According to information pre-sented to the court from as far back as January 2015 through January 2020 Asri and others working together collected in
total approximately $940995 from victims through their fraud and attempted to collect between $1500000 and $3000000 The actual loss was less than the in-tended loss because some of those who were targeted by Asri and his coconspirators did not send any funds to the fraudsters
According to information pre-sented to the court the govern-ment and the defendant agree that many of Asrirsquos victims were vulnerable to fraud schemes due to age or infirmity and the parties agree that the scheme pursued by Asri and his coconspirators were structured to exploit such persons specifically persons over the age of 65
Appearing last week before
US District Court Chief Judge John J McConnell Jr Asri pleaded guilty to wire fraud con-spiracy announced United States Attorney Aaron L Weisman and Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Boston Division Joseph R Bonavolonta
Asri the 4th India-based tele-marketing fraudster to be convict-ed in federal court in Rhode Island in the past three months is sched-uled to be sentenced on February 18 2021 Wire fraud conspiracy is punishable by statutory penalties of up to 20 years in prison three years of supervised release and a fine of $250000
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant US Attorney Milind M Shah

Street at approximately 245 am Detectives saw Patel get out of his vehicle and pour a liquid on a parked vehicle

Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine data wins backing of FDA authorization nears
By Manas Mishra Michael Erman and Rebecca Spalding
Pfi zer Inc cleared the next hurdle in the race to get its COVID-19 vaccine ap-proved for emergency use on Tuesday after the US Food and Drug Administra-tion (FDA) released documents that raised no new issues about its safety or effi cacy
Pfi zer and German partner BioNTech SE said last month their coronavirus vac-cinersquos two-dose regimen was 95 eff ec-tive against COVID-19 and had no ma-jor safety issues and asked the FDA for emergency use authorization
The vaccinersquos effi cacy and safety data met its expectations for emergency use authorization FDA staff said in docu-ments released ahead of a Thursday meet-ing of outside experts to the FDA who will discuss whether to recommend the Pfi zer
shot for people aged 16 and olderJeff eries analyst Michael Yee said in
research note the documents were ldquovery simple and straightforward which we think will lead to approval imminentlyrdquo
The agency typically follows the rec-ommendations of its advisory panels but is not required to do so It is not clear how many days or weeks the FDA will take to make a decision but states are prepping for vaccine deliveries in mid-December
The documents were released on the day Britons began getting the Pfi zerBi-oNTech vaccine the worldrsquos fi rst recipi-ents outside of clinical trials
ldquoThere are no surprises here The ef-fi cacy and the safety is consistent with what we heard and what we hoped for It does look like the vaccine is safe at least in the short termrdquo said Dr Daniel Culver chair of Pulmonary Medicine at Cleveland Clinic in an interview He said the data showing it was as eff ective in older people as in younger people was reassuring
Pfi zer shares rose nearly 2 and BioN-Techrsquos US shares were up 25 in early trading
Pfi zer Chief Executive Albert Bourla said on Tuesday he expects a ldquovery in-tenserdquo meeting with a US vaccine advi-sory panel this week but is counting on the panel of outside experts to sign off on his companyrsquos COVID-19 vaccine candi-date
ldquoI think they will vote lsquoyesrsquo given the strength of the datardquo Bourla said at a
conference hosted by a pharmaceutical industry group
PROTECTION AFTER ONE SHOTData from the trial showed that the vac-
cine began conferring some protection to recipients even before they received the sec-ond shot the FDA said The eff ect became most pronounced about 14 days after people received the fi rst shot
The agencyrsquos staff noted that more data would be needed to assess the potential of a single-dose shot It said that the effi cacy after dose 1 and before dose 2 was around 52 percent
A two-dose vaccination was highly eff ec-tive in preventing confi rmed cases of COV-ID-19 at least seven days after the last dose FDA staff said
The FDA staff also said that available data while limited suggested the people who had been previously infected with the new coronavirus could benefi t from vac-
cination Very few cases of confi rmed CO-VID-19 occurred among participants with evidence of infection prior to vaccination though more of those that did were in the placebo group than the vaccine group the staff said
FDA staff also said that the trial which was designed to look at eff ectiveness against COVID-19 did not produce data to answer the question of if it also stopped infection
In terms of safety the FDA staff said there was currently insuffi cient data to make conclusions about the safety of the vaccine in people below 16 years of age pregnant women and those with compromised immune systems
There were a total of six deaths in the 44000 person trial with two deaths among those who got the vaccine and the rest in those who received a placebo the docu-ments showed All deaths represent events that occur in the general population at a similar rate FDA staff said

NEW YORK - Companies and industry groups lobbying to get their US workers to the front of the line for COVID vaccination are running into a patchwork of state plans and confusion over who is essential and who is not
Inoculation against the disease caused by the novel coronavirus is key to safely reopening large parts of the economy and reduc-ing the risks of illness at crowd-ed meatpacking plants factories and warehouses
But before one needle has en-tered the arm of an American
worker confusion has broken out over who exactly is consid-ered essential during a pandemic
With initial vaccine doses limited and strong federal guid-ance lacking it has fallen to US states to determine who will be first in line to receive a vaccine and who will have to wait well into next year
State vaccine distribution plans reviewed by Reuters showed broad discrepancies over who would be considered essential with some states clearly outlin-ing specific worker groups and
others not providing any clarityGenerally states have broad
discretion when it comes to vac-cine distribution and policy and are able to issue vaccination mandates for their residents
Many states have so far fol-lowed federal guidance to give meat and food processing indus-try workers space in the line but some are slowly moving away said Mark Lauritsen a former hog slaughter worker who now advocates on behalf of about
250000 meatpacking and food processing workers under the United Food and Commercial Workers union
ldquoFor example Colorado has not moved meatpacking and meat-processing as high as some other states So wersquoll be directing a lot of our effort towards places like Colorado where we may be moved down the food chainrdquo
ldquoWersquore a union that has mem-bers in every state so we will be talking to every state to make
our case as to where our place in line should beEverybody is go-ing to be jockeying for a place in linerdquo
More than 20 large industries have urged officials to prioritize their workers including individ-ual companies such as ride-hail-ing company Uber Technologies Inc and food delivery provider DoorDash Inc and industry groups representing truck driv-ers teachers retail workers and other business sectors
As US companies push to get workers vaccinated states disagree on whorsquos essential

California becomes biggest US stateto launch virus contact-tracing app
OAKLAND - California on Monday announced an app to help people track their exposure to the coronavirus becoming the big-gest US state to take advantage of new technology from smart-phone software makers Apple Inc and Alphabet Incrsquos Google
Beginning on Thursday people in California can activate the ex-posure notifications tool from the settings menu on iPhones or by downloading the CA Notify App in the Google Play store on Android devices
The apps enable Bluetooth sig-nals between devices to determine
when they are in close proximity and the apps then anonymously alert users when a recent contact later tests positive At least 6 mil-lion people in the United States have tried the system in recent months across the 21 states and two territories that made apps available before California Colo-rado and New York are among other states with apps
Public health experts say adop-tion has lagged because of tech-nical shortcomings in the earliest apps privacy concerns and dis-missive attitudes toward taking precautions to avoid the virus
But California officials hope the app will be adopted quickly in a state that is home to many tech workers
The statersquos two most densely inhabited regions and its agri-cultural breadbasket went under stay-at-home orders in the last couple of days as the pandem-ic strains hospitals in the most populous US state
CA Notify had been tested on state university campuses since September The University of California San Diego will contin-ue to oversee the system and staff a user support phone hotline

India can bank on match-winner Pandya for next five years Kohli
SYDNEY - India captain Vi-rat Kohli has identified Har-dik Pandya as their ldquobankablerdquo match-winner for the next four to five years after the all-rounder dazzled in their series-clinching Twenty20 Interna-tional victory over Australia on Sunday
India needed 25 runs off the last two overs and Pandya deliv-ered in style smashing two sixes in the final over to secure a six-wicket victory with two balls to spare
ldquoHe has natural raw talent and now hersquos quite experienced having played quite a bit of T20 cricket in the IPL (Indian Pre-mier League) and playing for In-dia toordquo Kohli said after Indiarsquos second successive win in the three-match series
ldquoNow he realises that this is his time the next four-five years to become that bankable middle-order player that can win you games from anywhere
ldquoYou need that finisher and hersquos becoming that for us Hersquos
hungry hersquos got to keep getting betterrdquo
Pandya whose 42 not out off 22 balls earned him the Man of the Match award showed no signs of nerves even as the ask-ing run rate spiralled
ldquoI always believe as a cricket-er you have to improve with time
and I have taken some time but I think things are coming pretty well nowrdquo said the 27-year- old
ldquoNow my biggest goal (is) that I want to finish games where it matters the mostrdquo
Pandya said he was happy to bat wherever the team need him
ldquoIf time comes when I have to bat number four I donrsquot mindrdquo he added ldquoIf time comes where I have to finish the game I have to do that job as well whatever the team requiresrdquo
Tuesdayrsquos final Twenty20 match will also be played at the Sydney Cricket Ground

Rahane gets century boost ahead of key test role in Australia
SYDNEY - Indiarsquos Ajinkya Ra-hane crafted an unbeaten century in a warm-up match on Sunday to give himself a timely boost ahead of his major responsibility in the four-test series against Australia beginning later this month
With regular skipper Virat Kohli set to return home after the opening test in Adelaide to attend the birth of his first child Rahane will be in charge in the final three matches in Australia
The right-handed batsman made 108 not out to help the tour-ists overcome a top order wobble and reach 237-8 on day one of the three-day match against Australia A at Drummoyne Oval
Rahane hit 16 boundaries and a six an upper cut against James
Pattinson to reach the half-centu-ry mark
Number three Cheteshwar Pu-jara who was awarded man-of-
the-series when India won their maiden test series in Australia two seasons ago also spent qual-ity time in the middle and scored 54
While Rahane played in the recent Indian Premier League (IPL) in the United Arab Emir-ates this was Pujararsquos first com-petitive outing since a domestic Ranji Trophy match in early March
Pujara lasted 140 balls before falling to Pattinson who claimed 3-58 to signal his own prepared-ness for the test series

MUMBAI - India may ap-prove some coronavirus vac-cines over the next few weeks and an estimated 300 million people would be innoculated in the first tranche the coun-tryrsquos top health official said on Tuesday
ldquoThere are multiple vaccine candidates in different stages of
development and some of them may get licensed in the next few weeksrdquo federal health secretary Rajesh Bhushan told a press briefing in New Delhi
Over the weekend Pfizer Inc sought emergency-use authori-sation in India followed by As-tra Zenecarsquos Covishield vaccine which is being manufactured in
India could authorise vaccines in weeks 300 million on priority listIndia by the Serum Institute of India
Bhushan said Indiarsquos Bharat Biotech has also sought emer-gency-use authorization from the Indian drug regulator for its COVID-19 vaccine called Co-vaxin which it is developing in collaboration with the gov-ernment-run Indian Council of
Medical ResearchIndian Prime Minister Nar-
endra Modirsquos government has identified 300 million people including healthcare workers policemen and citizens above the age of 50 who would be administered a vaccine on a priority basis Bhushan said
ldquoEvery single Indian who needs to be vaccinated will be vaccinatedrdquo Bhushan said adding that the government ex-pected the vaccination process to take over a year to complete
More than 154000 health-
care workers had been identified to help conduct the vaccina-tion drive and the country had enough cold chain capacity to innoculate the first 30 million people Bhushan said
India has recorded 97 million cases of the novel coronavirus - the second highest in the world - and more than 140000 people have died of COVID-19
On Tuesday the country re-ported 26567 new infections the lowest daily increase since July 10 according to a Reuters tally
Indian doctors find lead nickel in blood samples after hundreds suffer mystery illness
By Jatindra Dashand Sudarshan Varadhan
BHUBANESWAR - Indian authorities said on Tuesday they found traces of lead and nickel particles in blood samples after hundreds of people were hospi-talised due to an unknown illness in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh
Teams of doctors including those from New Delhirsquos premier All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) are investigat-ing the death of one person and hospitalisation of more than 400 in the past few days
Andhra Pradeshrsquos state govern-ment said on Tuesday the AIIMS
team had found traces of lead and nickel in their samples while a second hospital is also running similar tests
The illness has infected more than 300 children with most of them suffering from dizzi-ness fainting spells headaches and vomiting They have tested negative for COVID-19
High levels of lead in the bloodstream can impair develop-ment of brains nervous systems and vital organs such as heart and lungs
Earlier on Tuesday federal law-maker GVL Narasimha Rao who is from the state said on Twitter that he had spoken with govern-ment medical experts and that the
ldquomost likely cause is poisonous organochlorine substancesrdquo
ldquoIt is one of the possibilitiesrdquo said Geeta Prasadini a public health director in Andhra Pradesh state adding they were awaiting test reports to ascertain the cause
She said no new serious cases have come to light in the past 24 hours A 45-year-old man died over the weekend
Organochlorines here are banned or restricted in many countries after research linked them to cancer and other poten-tial health risks However some of the pollutants remain in the environment for years and build up in animal and human body fat
India may approve some coronavirus vaccines over the next few weeks and an estimated 300 million people would be innoculated in the first tranche the countryrsquos top health official said on Tuesday

NEW DELHI - Thousands of Indian farmers angered by farm laws that they say threaten their livelihoods have intensified their protests by blocking highways and camping out on the outskirts of the capital Delhi
The government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and leaders of protesting farmersrsquo unions have held several rounds of talks but have not made any progress in breaking the dead-
lock over the set of laws passed by parliament in September
Although various farmer unions have supported the pro-test the agitation is largely led by the growers of relatively well-off states of Punjab and Haryana in Indiarsquos north
Every year the Indian govern-ment spends billions of dollars on buying millions of tonnes of rice and wheat from Punjab and Haryana and the worldrsquos most expensive food procure-ment program has now become
the centrepiece of Indiarsquos biggest farmersrsquo protest in years
After calculating the cost of cultivation the state-run Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP) an-nounces Minimum Support Prices (MSPs) for more than 22 commodities yearly to set a benchmark
Although every year the CACP announces MSPs for most crops the Food Corporation of India (FCI) the main state-run
grain procurement agency buys only rice and wheat at those pric-es due to a lack of storage and funds
After buying rice and wheat from farmers at MSPs the FCI sells the staples at highly sub-sidised prices to the poor The government compensates the FCI for its losses
Guaranteed prices offered by the FCI encourage farmers to pro-duce large quantities of rice and wheat Higher production puts
pressure on the FCI to buy extra supplies from farmers resulting in overflowing state warehouses and a ballooning subsidy bill that often pushes up the budget deficit
Despite sitting on massive mounds of rice and wheat the FCI finds it challenging to export as the annual rise in MSPs and its own storage costs make FCIrsquos rice and wheat more expen-sive than world prices making overseas sales uneconomic
Indiarsquos multi-billion dollar food program is at the heart of farmersrsquo protests

Farmers protest against the newly passed farm bills at Singhu border near Delhi India on December 4 2020
India formally protests to Canada over Trudeau remarks on farm protests
By Sanjeev Miglani
NEW DELHI - India sum-moned Canadarsquos ambassador last Friday and said comments made by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over protests by farm-ers near Delhi were an interfer-ence in its domestic affairs and would seriously hurt bilateral ties
Trudeau speaking to the In-dian community in Canada said this week that he was concerned about the farmers most of them from the Sikh-dominated state of Punjab camped out on the
outskirts of Delhi in a protest against farm reforms
The Indian foreign ministry said in a statement that com-ments on ldquoissues relating to In-dian farmers constitute an un-acceptable interference in our internal affairsrdquo
India and Canada have warm ties but in recent years there has been concern in India that some Sikh leaders in Canada have ties to separatist groups hostile to India
Canada is home to an influen-tial Sikh community and Indian leaders say there are some fringe
groups there that are still sympa-thetic to the cause of an indepen-dent Sikh state called Khalistan carved out of India
The Indian foreign ministry said comments made by Trudeau and other leaders had embold-ened radical groups and they were a risk to its diplomatic staff based in Canada
ldquoWe expect the Canadian Government to ensure the full-est security of Indian diplomatic personnel and its political lead-ers to refrain from pronounce-ments that legitimize extremist activismrdquo it said

MOVIE REVIEW
Itrsquos been eight months since
the last big Hindi film Angrezi Medium hit screens Once the lockdown kicked in films be-gan to go online even the ones starring A-listers But produc-ers of some small films decided to wait for cinemas to reopen Last month cinemas finally got the go-ahead in most parts of the country while on November 5 the prime state of Maharashtra too gave its nod This prompted Zee Studios to release Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari on Diwali on the big screen The trailer of the film has been impressive and carries a good vibe So does Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari manage to en-tertain and give viewers a good time Or does it falter Letrsquos analyse
Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari is the story of a feud between a wedding detective and a dairy owner The year is 1995 Suraj Singh Dhillon (Diljit Dosanjh) is a single guy from Mumbai and the heir of Jai Mata Rani Doodh Bhandar He lives with his fa-ther Gurnaam Dhillon (Manoj Pahwa) mother Yeshodha Dhil-lon (Seema Pahwa) and sister Guddi (Vanshika Sharma) His parents are looking for a right match but their efforts are futile
Surajs sidekick Sukhi (Manuj Sharma) tells him to be cool and a bad boy and that it would help attract girls Suraj likes the idea and as part of his stint as a cool bad boy he breaks the traf-fic signal and consumes alcohol in front of a girlrsquos college Mean-while his parents find a match for him An excited Suraj goes to the girlrsquos house with his par-ents But the girlrsquos parents refuse their proposal because they had the pictures of Suraj while he was in his bad boy avatar Suraj is dejected and is dying to know who clicked his pictures after all After cajoling the Pandit Dubey ji (Neeraj Sood) he gets to know that itrsquos none other than Madhu Mangal Rane (Manoj Bajpayee) a wedding detective He believes itrsquos his job to find flaws in the to-be grooms and thus save the lives of gullible girls and their families Suraj wants revenge but doesnrsquot know how He then realizes that Mangal has a sis-ter Tulshi Rane (Fatima Sana Shaikh) He decides to fake a relationship with her in order to get back at Mangal However he falls for her in real He expresses his love to Tulshi She however is hiding a shocking secret about her life and passion This secret gives Suraj the much needed op-portunity to damage Mangals reputation At the same time it can also dent his marriage pros-pects with Tulshi What happens next forms the rest of the film
Shokhi Banerjees story is very interesting and entertaining One might feel that the makers revealed almost the whole plot in the trailer But thatrsquos not the case as the film has a lot more to of-fer Rohan Shankars screenplay is entertaining for most parts The various twists and dramatic points are well fleshed out How-ever a few rough edges remain Also the humour quotient is lim-ited Rohan Shankars dialogues are hilarious and a few of them are sure to induce claps
Abhishek Sharmas direction is neat He deserves brownie
points for keeping the mood of the film light from start to finish The film never gets too heavy even in no-nonsense situations Also the film is replete with some very quirky characters and he makes good use of them to add to the fun Moreover the film cel-ebrates the Marathi culture and the middle-class lifestyle of the city It fondly also reminds one of the simple slice-of-life films made by Hrishikesh Mukherjee and Basu Chatterjee On the flip-side some of the portions of the first half arenrsquot upto the mark es-pecially the lsquoBad Boyrsquo sequence A few developments are hard to digest especially the track of the professor deciding not to take any action against his wife despite the latter cheating on him Also the manner in which Madhu plans the breaking off the engagement ceremony of his sister is a bit too much Mangalrsquos change of heart
in the climax also comes across as very unconvincing Thank-fully the Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge [1995] inspired climax makes up for it
Anshuman Mahaleys cin-ematography is first-rate Rajat Poddars production design is authentic and reminds one of the 90s Vijay Gangulys choreogra-phy is appealing in Basanti Jia Bhagia and Mallika Chauhans costumes are realistic for all the characters Fatemarsquos clothes however donrsquot seem to be of 1995 but nevertheless looks glamorous Rameshwar Bhagats editing is fair
On the whole Suraj Pe Man-gal Bhari is a decent entertain-er and a clean family film that works because of its plot the depiction of the mid-90s era and the performances

IndiGo said at the time it ex-pected third-quarter capacity to be around 60 of period a year earlier But the Indian government soon after lifted its domestic ca-pacity cap to 70 and again last week to 80

WASHINGTON - IBM and US offi cials are sounding the alarm over hackers targeting companies critical to the distribu-tion of COVID-19 vaccines
IBM said last Thursday that the campaign was a sign that digital spies are turning their attention to the complex logistical work in-volved in inoculating the worldrsquos population against the novel coronavirus although some out-side experts questioned whether that was the hackersrsquo focus
In a blog post here published last Thursday IBM said it had uncovered ldquoa global phishing campaignrdquo focused on organi-zations associated with the CO-VID-19 vaccine ldquocold chainrdquo - the process needed to keep vaccine doses at extremely cold temperatures as they travel from manufacturers to peoplersquos arms
The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency reposted the report warning here members of Operation Warp Speed - the US governmentrsquos
national vaccine mission - to be on the lookout
Other cybsecurity experts expressed some skepticism however of IBMrsquos fi ndings
Joe Slowik a researcher at on-line threat intelligence fi rm Do-mainTools said he believed IBM had stumbled upon ldquoa subset of activityrdquo that was part of a much wider campaign ldquowhich may not be focused on vaccines or similar activityrdquo
While ldquodefi nitely maliciousrdquo Slowik said he was not convinced it was specifi cally focused on vaccine distribution
Who is behind the espionage is not clear Messages sent to the email addresses used by the hackers were not returned
Understanding how to build a secure cold chain is fundamental to distributing vaccines devel-oped by the likes of Pfi zer Inc and BioNTech because the shots need to be stored at minus 70 de-grees Celsius (-94 F) or below to avoid spoiling
Hackers target groups in COVID-19 vaccine distribution says IBM
IBMrsquos cybersecurity unit said it had detected an advanced group of hackers working to gather in-formation about diff erent aspects of the cold chain using meticu-lously crafted booby-trapped emails sent in the name of an ex-ecutive with Haier Biomedical a Chinese cold chain provider that specializes in vaccine transport
and biological sample storageHaier Medical did not return
messages seeking commentTargets included companies
involved in the manufacture of solar panels which are used to power vaccine refrigerators in warm countries and petrochemi-cal products that could be used to derive dry ice
Amazon eyes potential $100 million investment in Indiarsquos Apollo Pharmacy
BENGALURU - Amazoncom Inc is considering a nearly $100 million investment in In-diarsquos pharmacy chain Apollo Pharmacy facing up to Reliance Industries Ltd and Tata Group in the countryrsquos fast-growing drug market the Economic Times re-ported on Wednesday citing two people aware of the plans
Amazon already delivers med-icines in India and the potential investment would come amid rising competition from Muke-sh Ambanirsquos Reliance which bought a majority stake in online pharmacy Netmeds
Tata Group here meanwhile
was reportedly in talks to pick up a majority stake in e-pharma-cy fi rm 1mg
Both Amazon and Apollo Hospitals which owns Apollo Pharmacy declined to comment
The growth of e-pharmacies however has left many Indian trader groups feeling threatened who say online drugstores can contribute to medicine sales without proper verifi cation and the entry of large players can cause unemployment in the sector
Amazonrsquos plan to further ex-pand in India also comes close on the heels of its launch of an online pharmacy to deliver pre-scription drugs in the United States increasing competi-tion with drug retailers such as Walgreens CVS Health and Walmart

NEW YORK - Indiarsquos econ-omy will return to growth in 202122 after a sharp con-traction in the latest year and higher public spending will lay the foundation for stronger growth in the next four to five years Finance Minister Nirma-la Sitharaman told Reuters last Thursday
With the worldrsquos second high-est number of coronavirus cases despite a severe lockdown of its 13 billion people early in the pandemic Indiarsquos economy is expected to contract nearly 10 in the 202021 financial year
But a recovery is taking hold now Sitharaman told the Reuters Global Investment Outlook Summit 2021
ldquoI would think 2021-22 will be very big good traction year
Indiarsquos economy on the rebound govt focuses on spending Sitharamanfor achieving a really good rate of growth that itself is going to be a launching pad for 4-5 years of growing at a good speed pro-vided we do enough on the bud-get and spend on infrastructurerdquo she said She gave no numbers about how big a government spending increase she planned to propose
Because the Indian govern-ment was concerned about its budget deficit its stimulus to
fight the economic slump during the pandemic was more mod-est than those of other countries such as the United States Japan and the United Kingdom
Sitharaman suggested the government should spend more in the months ahead to boost the growth rate
ldquoI have to be conscious that if I donrsquot spend now then the stim-ulus is meaningless if I donrsquot spend now the revival is going to get deferred and we canrsquot afford thatrdquo
The pace of the recovery would however depend on de-
velopment and adequate sup-ply of coronavirus vaccines economists say
India does not yet have a vac-cine purchase contract with any company but has said it will rely mainly on five being tested in the country including the Oxford-AstraZeneca one and Russiarsquos Sputnik V
Sitharaman said the govern-ment was bulking up the logis-tics including sufficient cold storage facilities to ensure de-livery of the vaccine down to the village councils across the country
RBI holds rates says will ensure ample liquidityMUMBAI - The Reserve Bank
of India (RBI) kept its key interest rates steady as widely expected last Friday amid persistently high inflation but said it will ensure ample liquidity is provided to stressed sectors to keep a nascent economic recovery on track
Its monetary policy committee decided to retain an accommoda-tive policy stance at least for the current financial year and into the next to revive growth on a du-rable basis while ensuring that inflation remains within target Governor Shaktikanta Das said in an online briefing
Das said the economy was re-bounding faster than expected
from a coronavirus-induced slump earlier in the year but warned signs of recovery were far from being broad based CO-VID-19 infections are also con-tinuing to climb with the tally now 957 million people
Das said MPC members voted unanimously to hold rates and re-tain the stance The key lending rate of the RBI or the repo rate was left unchanged at 4 while the reverse repo rate or the key borrowing rate stayed at 335
ldquoThe MPC is of the view that inflation is likely to remain el-evated barring transient relief in the winter months from prices of perishablesrdquo Das said
ldquoThis constrains monetary pol-icy at the current juncture from using the space available to act in support of growthrdquo
Indian stocks extended earlier gains to hit record highs after the decision while the Indian rupee strengthened slightly to 7376 against the dollar The bench-mark 10-year bond yield fell 3 basis points to 590
Das announced measures to help improve access to funding for stressed sectors and said the RBI will take further steps when necessary to ensure ample rupee liquidity to sustain visible growth impulses without impacting inflation

Telemarketing fraudster pleads guiltyPROVIDENCE RI - An Indian
national last week admitted to a federal judge in Providence that he participated in a wide-ranging conspiracy based in India to de-fraud United States citizens pri-marily seniors by telling victims that malware had been detected on their computers and based on that falsehood induced the vic-tims to direct money to him and his co-conspirators as payment for purported computer protection services that were not needed or ever provided
The conspirators in fact did not detect malware on victimsrsquo computers and accepted payment without providing any protection services
Himanshu Asri 33 of Delhi In-dia admitted that he had 325 call-ers routed to call centers in India where call center operators falsely reasserted to victims that malware had been detected on their com-puters and offered the victims purported computer protection services in exchange for payment The purpose of the false assertions was to induce people into routing money to the fraudsters
According to information pre-sented to the court from as far back as January 2015 through January 2020 Asri and others working together collected in
total approximately $940995 from victims through their fraud and attempted to collect between $1500000 and $3000000 The actual loss was less than the in-tended loss because some of those who were targeted by Asri and his coconspirators did not send any funds to the fraudsters
According to information pre-sented to the court the govern-ment and the defendant agree that many of Asrirsquos victims were vulnerable to fraud schemes due to age or infirmity and the parties agree that the scheme pursued by Asri and his coconspirators were structured to exploit such persons specifically persons over the age of 65
Appearing last week before
US District Court Chief Judge John J McConnell Jr Asri pleaded guilty to wire fraud con-spiracy announced United States Attorney Aaron L Weisman and Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Boston Division Joseph R Bonavolonta
Asri the 4th India-based tele-marketing fraudster to be convict-ed in federal court in Rhode Island in the past three months is sched-uled to be sentenced on February 18 2021 Wire fraud conspiracy is punishable by statutory penalties of up to 20 years in prison three years of supervised release and a fine of $250000
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant US Attorney Milind M Shah

Street at approximately 245 am Detectives saw Patel get out of his vehicle and pour a liquid on a parked vehicle

Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine data wins backing of FDA authorization nears
By Manas Mishra Michael Erman and Rebecca Spalding
Pfi zer Inc cleared the next hurdle in the race to get its COVID-19 vaccine ap-proved for emergency use on Tuesday after the US Food and Drug Administra-tion (FDA) released documents that raised no new issues about its safety or effi cacy
Pfi zer and German partner BioNTech SE said last month their coronavirus vac-cinersquos two-dose regimen was 95 eff ec-tive against COVID-19 and had no ma-jor safety issues and asked the FDA for emergency use authorization
The vaccinersquos effi cacy and safety data met its expectations for emergency use authorization FDA staff said in docu-ments released ahead of a Thursday meet-ing of outside experts to the FDA who will discuss whether to recommend the Pfi zer
shot for people aged 16 and olderJeff eries analyst Michael Yee said in
research note the documents were ldquovery simple and straightforward which we think will lead to approval imminentlyrdquo
The agency typically follows the rec-ommendations of its advisory panels but is not required to do so It is not clear how many days or weeks the FDA will take to make a decision but states are prepping for vaccine deliveries in mid-December
The documents were released on the day Britons began getting the Pfi zerBi-oNTech vaccine the worldrsquos fi rst recipi-ents outside of clinical trials
ldquoThere are no surprises here The ef-fi cacy and the safety is consistent with what we heard and what we hoped for It does look like the vaccine is safe at least in the short termrdquo said Dr Daniel Culver chair of Pulmonary Medicine at Cleveland Clinic in an interview He said the data showing it was as eff ective in older people as in younger people was reassuring
Pfi zer shares rose nearly 2 and BioN-Techrsquos US shares were up 25 in early trading
Pfi zer Chief Executive Albert Bourla said on Tuesday he expects a ldquovery in-tenserdquo meeting with a US vaccine advi-sory panel this week but is counting on the panel of outside experts to sign off on his companyrsquos COVID-19 vaccine candi-date
ldquoI think they will vote lsquoyesrsquo given the strength of the datardquo Bourla said at a
conference hosted by a pharmaceutical industry group
PROTECTION AFTER ONE SHOTData from the trial showed that the vac-
cine began conferring some protection to recipients even before they received the sec-ond shot the FDA said The eff ect became most pronounced about 14 days after people received the fi rst shot
The agencyrsquos staff noted that more data would be needed to assess the potential of a single-dose shot It said that the effi cacy after dose 1 and before dose 2 was around 52 percent
A two-dose vaccination was highly eff ec-tive in preventing confi rmed cases of COV-ID-19 at least seven days after the last dose FDA staff said
The FDA staff also said that available data while limited suggested the people who had been previously infected with the new coronavirus could benefi t from vac-
cination Very few cases of confi rmed CO-VID-19 occurred among participants with evidence of infection prior to vaccination though more of those that did were in the placebo group than the vaccine group the staff said
FDA staff also said that the trial which was designed to look at eff ectiveness against COVID-19 did not produce data to answer the question of if it also stopped infection
In terms of safety the FDA staff said there was currently insuffi cient data to make conclusions about the safety of the vaccine in people below 16 years of age pregnant women and those with compromised immune systems
There were a total of six deaths in the 44000 person trial with two deaths among those who got the vaccine and the rest in those who received a placebo the docu-ments showed All deaths represent events that occur in the general population at a similar rate FDA staff said

NEW YORK - Companies and industry groups lobbying to get their US workers to the front of the line for COVID vaccination are running into a patchwork of state plans and confusion over who is essential and who is not
Inoculation against the disease caused by the novel coronavirus is key to safely reopening large parts of the economy and reduc-ing the risks of illness at crowd-ed meatpacking plants factories and warehouses
But before one needle has en-tered the arm of an American
worker confusion has broken out over who exactly is consid-ered essential during a pandemic
With initial vaccine doses limited and strong federal guid-ance lacking it has fallen to US states to determine who will be first in line to receive a vaccine and who will have to wait well into next year
State vaccine distribution plans reviewed by Reuters showed broad discrepancies over who would be considered essential with some states clearly outlin-ing specific worker groups and
others not providing any clarityGenerally states have broad
discretion when it comes to vac-cine distribution and policy and are able to issue vaccination mandates for their residents
Many states have so far fol-lowed federal guidance to give meat and food processing indus-try workers space in the line but some are slowly moving away said Mark Lauritsen a former hog slaughter worker who now advocates on behalf of about
250000 meatpacking and food processing workers under the United Food and Commercial Workers union
ldquoFor example Colorado has not moved meatpacking and meat-processing as high as some other states So wersquoll be directing a lot of our effort towards places like Colorado where we may be moved down the food chainrdquo
ldquoWersquore a union that has mem-bers in every state so we will be talking to every state to make
our case as to where our place in line should beEverybody is go-ing to be jockeying for a place in linerdquo
More than 20 large industries have urged officials to prioritize their workers including individ-ual companies such as ride-hail-ing company Uber Technologies Inc and food delivery provider DoorDash Inc and industry groups representing truck driv-ers teachers retail workers and other business sectors
As US companies push to get workers vaccinated states disagree on whorsquos essential

California becomes biggest US stateto launch virus contact-tracing app
OAKLAND - California on Monday announced an app to help people track their exposure to the coronavirus becoming the big-gest US state to take advantage of new technology from smart-phone software makers Apple Inc and Alphabet Incrsquos Google
Beginning on Thursday people in California can activate the ex-posure notifications tool from the settings menu on iPhones or by downloading the CA Notify App in the Google Play store on Android devices
The apps enable Bluetooth sig-nals between devices to determine
when they are in close proximity and the apps then anonymously alert users when a recent contact later tests positive At least 6 mil-lion people in the United States have tried the system in recent months across the 21 states and two territories that made apps available before California Colo-rado and New York are among other states with apps
Public health experts say adop-tion has lagged because of tech-nical shortcomings in the earliest apps privacy concerns and dis-missive attitudes toward taking precautions to avoid the virus
But California officials hope the app will be adopted quickly in a state that is home to many tech workers
The statersquos two most densely inhabited regions and its agri-cultural breadbasket went under stay-at-home orders in the last couple of days as the pandem-ic strains hospitals in the most populous US state
CA Notify had been tested on state university campuses since September The University of California San Diego will contin-ue to oversee the system and staff a user support phone hotline

India can bank on match-winner Pandya for next five years Kohli
SYDNEY - India captain Vi-rat Kohli has identified Har-dik Pandya as their ldquobankablerdquo match-winner for the next four to five years after the all-rounder dazzled in their series-clinching Twenty20 Interna-tional victory over Australia on Sunday
India needed 25 runs off the last two overs and Pandya deliv-ered in style smashing two sixes in the final over to secure a six-wicket victory with two balls to spare
ldquoHe has natural raw talent and now hersquos quite experienced having played quite a bit of T20 cricket in the IPL (Indian Pre-mier League) and playing for In-dia toordquo Kohli said after Indiarsquos second successive win in the three-match series
ldquoNow he realises that this is his time the next four-five years to become that bankable middle-order player that can win you games from anywhere
ldquoYou need that finisher and hersquos becoming that for us Hersquos
hungry hersquos got to keep getting betterrdquo
Pandya whose 42 not out off 22 balls earned him the Man of the Match award showed no signs of nerves even as the ask-ing run rate spiralled
ldquoI always believe as a cricket-er you have to improve with time
and I have taken some time but I think things are coming pretty well nowrdquo said the 27-year- old
ldquoNow my biggest goal (is) that I want to finish games where it matters the mostrdquo
Pandya said he was happy to bat wherever the team need him
ldquoIf time comes when I have to bat number four I donrsquot mindrdquo he added ldquoIf time comes where I have to finish the game I have to do that job as well whatever the team requiresrdquo
Tuesdayrsquos final Twenty20 match will also be played at the Sydney Cricket Ground

Rahane gets century boost ahead of key test role in Australia
SYDNEY - Indiarsquos Ajinkya Ra-hane crafted an unbeaten century in a warm-up match on Sunday to give himself a timely boost ahead of his major responsibility in the four-test series against Australia beginning later this month
With regular skipper Virat Kohli set to return home after the opening test in Adelaide to attend the birth of his first child Rahane will be in charge in the final three matches in Australia
The right-handed batsman made 108 not out to help the tour-ists overcome a top order wobble and reach 237-8 on day one of the three-day match against Australia A at Drummoyne Oval
Rahane hit 16 boundaries and a six an upper cut against James
Pattinson to reach the half-centu-ry mark
Number three Cheteshwar Pu-jara who was awarded man-of-
the-series when India won their maiden test series in Australia two seasons ago also spent qual-ity time in the middle and scored 54
While Rahane played in the recent Indian Premier League (IPL) in the United Arab Emir-ates this was Pujararsquos first com-petitive outing since a domestic Ranji Trophy match in early March
Pujara lasted 140 balls before falling to Pattinson who claimed 3-58 to signal his own prepared-ness for the test series
It was a mixed outing for the tourists as three of their top six batsmen including openers Prithvi Shaw and Shubman Gill fell for ducks

NEW DELHI - Thousands of Indian farmers angered by farm laws that they say threaten their livelihoods have intensified their protests by blocking highways and camping out on the outskirts of the capital Delhi
The government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and leaders of protesting farmersrsquo unions have held several rounds of talks but have not made any progress in breaking the dead-
lock over the set of laws passed by parliament in September
Although various farmer unions have supported the pro-test the agitation is largely led by the growers of relatively well-off states of Punjab and Haryana in Indiarsquos north
Every year the Indian govern-ment spends billions of dollars on buying millions of tonnes of rice and wheat from Punjab and Haryana and the worldrsquos most expensive food procure-ment program has now become
the centrepiece of Indiarsquos biggest farmersrsquo protest in years
After calculating the cost of cultivation the state-run Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP) an-nounces Minimum Support Prices (MSPs) for more than 22 commodities yearly to set a benchmark
Although every year the CACP announces MSPs for most crops the Food Corporation of India (FCI) the main state-run
grain procurement agency buys only rice and wheat at those pric-es due to a lack of storage and funds
After buying rice and wheat from farmers at MSPs the FCI sells the staples at highly sub-sidised prices to the poor The government compensates the FCI for its losses
Guaranteed prices offered by the FCI encourage farmers to pro-duce large quantities of rice and wheat Higher production puts
pressure on the FCI to buy extra supplies from farmers resulting in overflowing state warehouses and a ballooning subsidy bill that often pushes up the budget deficit
Despite sitting on massive mounds of rice and wheat the FCI finds it challenging to export as the annual rise in MSPs and its own storage costs make FCIrsquos rice and wheat more expen-sive than world prices making overseas sales uneconomic
Indiarsquos multi-billion dollar food program is at the heart of farmersrsquo protests

Farmers protest against the newly passed farm bills at Singhu border near Delhi India on December 4 2020
India formally protests to Canada over Trudeau remarks on farm protests
By Sanjeev Miglani
NEW DELHI - India sum-moned Canadarsquos ambassador last Friday and said comments made by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over protests by farm-ers near Delhi were an interfer-ence in its domestic affairs and would seriously hurt bilateral ties
Trudeau speaking to the In-dian community in Canada said this week that he was concerned about the farmers most of them from the Sikh-dominated state of Punjab camped out on the
outskirts of Delhi in a protest against farm reforms
The Indian foreign ministry said in a statement that com-ments on ldquoissues relating to In-dian farmers constitute an un-acceptable interference in our internal affairsrdquo
India and Canada have warm ties but in recent years there has been concern in India that some Sikh leaders in Canada have ties to separatist groups hostile to India
Canada is home to an influen-tial Sikh community and Indian leaders say there are some fringe
groups there that are still sympa-thetic to the cause of an indepen-dent Sikh state called Khalistan carved out of India
The Indian foreign ministry said comments made by Trudeau and other leaders had embold-ened radical groups and they were a risk to its diplomatic staff based in Canada
ldquoWe expect the Canadian Government to ensure the full-est security of Indian diplomatic personnel and its political lead-ers to refrain from pronounce-ments that legitimize extremist activismrdquo it said

the last big Hindi film Angrezi Medium hit screens Once the lockdown kicked in films be-gan to go online even the ones starring A-listers But produc-ers of some small films decided to wait for cinemas to reopen Last month cinemas finally got the go-ahead in most parts of the country while on November 5 the prime state of Maharashtra too gave its nod This prompted Zee Studios to release Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari on Diwali on the big screen The trailer of the film has been impressive and carries a good vibe So does Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari manage to en-tertain and give viewers a good time Or does it falter Letrsquos analyse
Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari is the story of a feud between a wedding detective and a dairy owner The year is 1995 Suraj Singh Dhillon (Diljit Dosanjh) is a single guy from Mumbai and the heir of Jai Mata Rani Doodh Bhandar He lives with his fa-ther Gurnaam Dhillon (Manoj Pahwa) mother Yeshodha Dhil-lon (Seema Pahwa) and sister Guddi (Vanshika Sharma) His parents are looking for a right match but their efforts are futile
Surajs sidekick Sukhi (Manuj Sharma) tells him to be cool and a bad boy and that it would help attract girls Suraj likes the idea and as part of his stint as a cool bad boy he breaks the traf-fic signal and consumes alcohol in front of a girlrsquos college Mean-while his parents find a match for him An excited Suraj goes to the girlrsquos house with his par-ents But the girlrsquos parents refuse their proposal because they had the pictures of Suraj while he was in his bad boy avatar Suraj is dejected and is dying to know who clicked his pictures after all After cajoling the Pandit Dubey ji (Neeraj Sood) he gets to know that itrsquos none other than Madhu Mangal Rane (Manoj Bajpayee) a wedding detective He believes itrsquos his job to find flaws in the to-be grooms and thus save the lives of gullible girls and their families Suraj wants revenge but doesnrsquot know how He then realizes that Mangal has a sis-ter Tulshi Rane (Fatima Sana Shaikh) He decides to fake a relationship with her in order to get back at Mangal However he falls for her in real He expresses his love to Tulshi She however is hiding a shocking secret about her life and passion This secret gives Suraj the much needed op-portunity to damage Mangals reputation At the same time it can also dent his marriage pros-pects with Tulshi What happens next forms the rest of the film
Shokhi Banerjees story is very interesting and entertaining One might feel that the makers revealed almost the whole plot in the trailer But thatrsquos not the case as the film has a lot more to of-fer Rohan Shankars screenplay is entertaining for most parts The various twists and dramatic points are well fleshed out How-ever a few rough edges remain Also the humour quotient is lim-ited Rohan Shankars dialogues are hilarious and a few of them are sure to induce claps
Abhishek Sharmas direction is neat He deserves brownie
points for keeping the mood of the film light from start to finish The film never gets too heavy even in no-nonsense situations Also the film is replete with some very quirky characters and he makes good use of them to add to the fun Moreover the film cel-ebrates the Marathi culture and the middle-class lifestyle of the city It fondly also reminds one of the simple slice-of-life films made by Hrishikesh Mukherjee and Basu Chatterjee On the flip-side some of the portions of the first half arenrsquot upto the mark es-pecially the lsquoBad Boyrsquo sequence A few developments are hard to digest especially the track of the professor deciding not to take any action against his wife despite the latter cheating on him Also the manner in which Madhu plans the breaking off the engagement ceremony of his sister is a bit too much Mangalrsquos change of heart
in the climax also comes across as very unconvincing Thank-fully the Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge [1995] inspired climax makes up for it
Anshuman Mahaleys cin-ematography is first-rate Rajat Poddars production design is authentic and reminds one of the 90s Vijay Gangulys choreogra-phy is appealing in Basanti Jia Bhagia and Mallika Chauhans costumes are realistic for all the characters Fatemarsquos clothes however donrsquot seem to be of 1995 but nevertheless looks glamorous Rameshwar Bhagats editing is fair
On the whole Suraj Pe Man-gal Bhari is a decent entertain-er and a clean family film that works because of its plot the depiction of the mid-90s era and the performances

WASHINGTON - IBM and US offi cials are sounding the alarm over hackers targeting companies critical to the distribu-tion of COVID-19 vaccines
IBM said last Thursday that the campaign was a sign that digital spies are turning their attention to the complex logistical work in-volved in inoculating the worldrsquos population against the novel coronavirus although some out-side experts questioned whether that was the hackersrsquo focus
In a blog post here published last Thursday IBM said it had uncovered ldquoa global phishing campaignrdquo focused on organi-zations associated with the CO-VID-19 vaccine ldquocold chainrdquo - the process needed to keep vaccine doses at extremely cold temperatures as they travel from manufacturers to peoplersquos arms
The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency reposted the report warning here members of Operation Warp Speed - the US governmentrsquos
national vaccine mission - to be on the lookout
Other cybsecurity experts expressed some skepticism however of IBMrsquos fi ndings
Joe Slowik a researcher at on-line threat intelligence fi rm Do-mainTools said he believed IBM had stumbled upon ldquoa subset of activityrdquo that was part of a much wider campaign ldquowhich may not be focused on vaccines or similar activityrdquo
While ldquodefi nitely maliciousrdquo Slowik said he was not convinced it was specifi cally focused on vaccine distribution
Who is behind the espionage is not clear Messages sent to the email addresses used by the hackers were not returned
Understanding how to build a secure cold chain is fundamental to distributing vaccines devel-oped by the likes of Pfi zer Inc and BioNTech because the shots need to be stored at minus 70 de-grees Celsius (-94 F) or below to avoid spoiling
Hackers target groups in COVID-19 vaccine distribution says IBM
IBMrsquos cybersecurity unit said it had detected an advanced group of hackers working to gather in-formation about diff erent aspects of the cold chain using meticu-lously crafted booby-trapped emails sent in the name of an ex-ecutive with Haier Biomedical a Chinese cold chain provider that specializes in vaccine transport
and biological sample storageHaier Medical did not return
messages seeking commentTargets included companies
involved in the manufacture of solar panels which are used to power vaccine refrigerators in warm countries and petrochemi-cal products that could be used to derive dry ice
Amazon eyes potential $100 million investment in Indiarsquos Apollo Pharmacy
BENGALURU - Amazoncom Inc is considering a nearly $100 million investment in In-diarsquos pharmacy chain Apollo Pharmacy facing up to Reliance Industries Ltd and Tata Group in the countryrsquos fast-growing drug market the Economic Times re-ported on Wednesday citing two people aware of the plans
Amazon already delivers med-icines in India and the potential investment would come amid rising competition from Muke-sh Ambanirsquos Reliance which bought a majority stake in online pharmacy Netmeds
Tata Group here meanwhile
was reportedly in talks to pick up a majority stake in e-pharma-cy fi rm 1mg
Both Amazon and Apollo Hospitals which owns Apollo Pharmacy declined to comment
The growth of e-pharmacies however has left many Indian trader groups feeling threatened who say online drugstores can contribute to medicine sales without proper verifi cation and the entry of large players can cause unemployment in the sector
Amazonrsquos plan to further ex-pand in India also comes close on the heels of its launch of an online pharmacy to deliver pre-scription drugs in the United States increasing competi-tion with drug retailers such as Walgreens CVS Health and Walmart

NEW YORK - Indiarsquos econ-omy will return to growth in 202122 after a sharp con-traction in the latest year and higher public spending will lay the foundation for stronger growth in the next four to five years Finance Minister Nirma-la Sitharaman told Reuters last Thursday
With the worldrsquos second high-est number of coronavirus cases despite a severe lockdown of its 13 billion people early in the pandemic Indiarsquos economy is expected to contract nearly 10 in the 202021 financial year
But a recovery is taking hold now Sitharaman told the Reuters Global Investment Outlook Summit 2021
ldquoI would think 2021-22 will be very big good traction year
Indiarsquos economy on the rebound govt focuses on spending Sitharamanfor achieving a really good rate of growth that itself is going to be a launching pad for 4-5 years of growing at a good speed pro-vided we do enough on the bud-get and spend on infrastructurerdquo she said She gave no numbers about how big a government spending increase she planned to propose
Because the Indian govern-ment was concerned about its budget deficit its stimulus to
fight the economic slump during the pandemic was more mod-est than those of other countries such as the United States Japan and the United Kingdom
Sitharaman suggested the government should spend more in the months ahead to boost the growth rate
ldquoI have to be conscious that if I donrsquot spend now then the stim-ulus is meaningless if I donrsquot spend now the revival is going to get deferred and we canrsquot afford thatrdquo
The pace of the recovery would however depend on de-
velopment and adequate sup-ply of coronavirus vaccines economists say
India does not yet have a vac-cine purchase contract with any company but has said it will rely mainly on five being tested in the country including the Oxford-AstraZeneca one and Russiarsquos Sputnik V
Sitharaman said the govern-ment was bulking up the logis-tics including sufficient cold storage facilities to ensure de-livery of the vaccine down to the village councils across the country
RBI holds rates says will ensure ample liquidityMUMBAI - The Reserve Bank
of India (RBI) kept its key interest rates steady as widely expected last Friday amid persistently high inflation but said it will ensure ample liquidity is provided to stressed sectors to keep a nascent economic recovery on track
Its monetary policy committee decided to retain an accommoda-tive policy stance at least for the current financial year and into the next to revive growth on a du-rable basis while ensuring that inflation remains within target Governor Shaktikanta Das said in an online briefing
Das said the economy was re-bounding faster than expected
from a coronavirus-induced slump earlier in the year but warned signs of recovery were far from being broad based CO-VID-19 infections are also con-tinuing to climb with the tally now 957 million people
Das said MPC members voted unanimously to hold rates and re-tain the stance The key lending rate of the RBI or the repo rate was left unchanged at 4 while the reverse repo rate or the key borrowing rate stayed at 335
ldquoThe MPC is of the view that inflation is likely to remain el-evated barring transient relief in the winter months from prices of perishablesrdquo Das said
ldquoThis constrains monetary pol-icy at the current juncture from using the space available to act in support of growthrdquo
Indian stocks extended earlier gains to hit record highs after the decision while the Indian rupee strengthened slightly to 7376 against the dollar The bench-mark 10-year bond yield fell 3 basis points to 590
Das announced measures to help improve access to funding for stressed sectors and said the RBI will take further steps when necessary to ensure ample rupee liquidity to sustain visible growth impulses without impacting inflation

Telemarketing fraudster pleads guiltyPROVIDENCE RI - An Indian
national last week admitted to a federal judge in Providence that he participated in a wide-ranging conspiracy based in India to de-fraud United States citizens pri-marily seniors by telling victims that malware had been detected on their computers and based on that falsehood induced the vic-tims to direct money to him and his co-conspirators as payment for purported computer protection services that were not needed or ever provided
The conspirators in fact did not detect malware on victimsrsquo computers and accepted payment without providing any protection services
Himanshu Asri 33 of Delhi In-dia admitted that he had 325 call-ers routed to call centers in India where call center operators falsely reasserted to victims that malware had been detected on their com-puters and offered the victims purported computer protection services in exchange for payment The purpose of the false assertions was to induce people into routing money to the fraudsters
According to information pre-sented to the court from as far back as January 2015 through January 2020 Asri and others working together collected in
total approximately $940995 from victims through their fraud and attempted to collect between $1500000 and $3000000 The actual loss was less than the in-tended loss because some of those who were targeted by Asri and his coconspirators did not send any funds to the fraudsters
According to information pre-sented to the court the govern-ment and the defendant agree that many of Asrirsquos victims were vulnerable to fraud schemes due to age or infirmity and the parties agree that the scheme pursued by Asri and his coconspirators were structured to exploit such persons specifically persons over the age of 65
Appearing last week before
US District Court Chief Judge John J McConnell Jr Asri pleaded guilty to wire fraud con-spiracy announced United States Attorney Aaron L Weisman and Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Boston Division Joseph R Bonavolonta
Asri the 4th India-based tele-marketing fraudster to be convict-ed in federal court in Rhode Island in the past three months is sched-uled to be sentenced on February 18 2021 Wire fraud conspiracy is punishable by statutory penalties of up to 20 years in prison three years of supervised release and a fine of $250000
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant US Attorney Milind M Shah

Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine data wins backing of FDA authorization nears
By Manas Mishra Michael Erman and Rebecca Spalding
Pfi zer Inc cleared the next hurdle in the race to get its COVID-19 vaccine ap-proved for emergency use on Tuesday after the US Food and Drug Administra-tion (FDA) released documents that raised no new issues about its safety or effi cacy
Pfi zer and German partner BioNTech SE said last month their coronavirus vac-cinersquos two-dose regimen was 95 eff ec-tive against COVID-19 and had no ma-jor safety issues and asked the FDA for emergency use authorization
The vaccinersquos effi cacy and safety data met its expectations for emergency use authorization FDA staff said in docu-ments released ahead of a Thursday meet-ing of outside experts to the FDA who will discuss whether to recommend the Pfi zer
shot for people aged 16 and olderJeff eries analyst Michael Yee said in
research note the documents were ldquovery simple and straightforward which we think will lead to approval imminentlyrdquo
The agency typically follows the rec-ommendations of its advisory panels but is not required to do so It is not clear how many days or weeks the FDA will take to make a decision but states are prepping for vaccine deliveries in mid-December
The documents were released on the day Britons began getting the Pfi zerBi-oNTech vaccine the worldrsquos fi rst recipi-ents outside of clinical trials
ldquoThere are no surprises here The ef-fi cacy and the safety is consistent with what we heard and what we hoped for It does look like the vaccine is safe at least in the short termrdquo said Dr Daniel Culver chair of Pulmonary Medicine at Cleveland Clinic in an interview He said the data showing it was as eff ective in older people as in younger people was reassuring
Pfi zer shares rose nearly 2 and BioN-Techrsquos US shares were up 25 in early trading
Pfi zer Chief Executive Albert Bourla said on Tuesday he expects a ldquovery in-tenserdquo meeting with a US vaccine advi-sory panel this week but is counting on the panel of outside experts to sign off on his companyrsquos COVID-19 vaccine candi-date
ldquoI think they will vote lsquoyesrsquo given the strength of the datardquo Bourla said at a
conference hosted by a pharmaceutical industry group
PROTECTION AFTER ONE SHOTData from the trial showed that the vac-
cine began conferring some protection to recipients even before they received the sec-ond shot the FDA said The eff ect became most pronounced about 14 days after people received the fi rst shot
The agencyrsquos staff noted that more data would be needed to assess the potential of a single-dose shot It said that the effi cacy after dose 1 and before dose 2 was around 52 percent
A two-dose vaccination was highly eff ec-tive in preventing confi rmed cases of COV-ID-19 at least seven days after the last dose FDA staff said
The FDA staff also said that available data while limited suggested the people who had been previously infected with the new coronavirus could benefi t from vac-
cination Very few cases of confi rmed CO-VID-19 occurred among participants with evidence of infection prior to vaccination though more of those that did were in the placebo group than the vaccine group the staff said
FDA staff also said that the trial which was designed to look at eff ectiveness against COVID-19 did not produce data to answer the question of if it also stopped infection
In terms of safety the FDA staff said there was currently insuffi cient data to make conclusions about the safety of the vaccine in people below 16 years of age pregnant women and those with compromised immune systems
There were a total of six deaths in the 44000 person trial with two deaths among those who got the vaccine and the rest in those who received a placebo the docu-ments showed All deaths represent events that occur in the general population at a similar rate FDA staff said

NEW YORK - Companies and industry groups lobbying to get their US workers to the front of the line for COVID vaccination are running into a patchwork of state plans and confusion over who is essential and who is not
Inoculation against the disease caused by the novel coronavirus is key to safely reopening large parts of the economy and reduc-ing the risks of illness at crowd-ed meatpacking plants factories and warehouses
But before one needle has en-tered the arm of an American
worker confusion has broken out over who exactly is consid-ered essential during a pandemic
With initial vaccine doses limited and strong federal guid-ance lacking it has fallen to US states to determine who will be first in line to receive a vaccine and who will have to wait well into next year
State vaccine distribution plans reviewed by Reuters showed broad discrepancies over who would be considered essential with some states clearly outlin-ing specific worker groups and
others not providing any clarityGenerally states have broad
discretion when it comes to vac-cine distribution and policy and are able to issue vaccination mandates for their residents
Many states have so far fol-lowed federal guidance to give meat and food processing indus-try workers space in the line but some are slowly moving away said Mark Lauritsen a former hog slaughter worker who now advocates on behalf of about
250000 meatpacking and food processing workers under the United Food and Commercial Workers union
ldquoFor example Colorado has not moved meatpacking and meat-processing as high as some other states So wersquoll be directing a lot of our effort towards places like Colorado where we may be moved down the food chainrdquo
ldquoWersquore a union that has mem-bers in every state so we will be talking to every state to make
our case as to where our place in line should beEverybody is go-ing to be jockeying for a place in linerdquo
More than 20 large industries have urged officials to prioritize their workers including individ-ual companies such as ride-hail-ing company Uber Technologies Inc and food delivery provider DoorDash Inc and industry groups representing truck driv-ers teachers retail workers and other business sectors
As US companies push to get workers vaccinated states disagree on whorsquos essential

California becomes biggest US stateto launch virus contact-tracing app
OAKLAND - California on Monday announced an app to help people track their exposure to the coronavirus becoming the big-gest US state to take advantage of new technology from smart-phone software makers Apple Inc and Alphabet Incrsquos Google
Beginning on Thursday people in California can activate the ex-posure notifications tool from the settings menu on iPhones or by downloading the CA Notify App in the Google Play store on Android devices
The apps enable Bluetooth sig-nals between devices to determine
when they are in close proximity and the apps then anonymously alert users when a recent contact later tests positive At least 6 mil-lion people in the United States have tried the system in recent months across the 21 states and two territories that made apps available before California Colo-rado and New York are among other states with apps
Public health experts say adop-tion has lagged because of tech-nical shortcomings in the earliest apps privacy concerns and dis-missive attitudes toward taking precautions to avoid the virus
But California officials hope the app will be adopted quickly in a state that is home to many tech workers
The statersquos two most densely inhabited regions and its agri-cultural breadbasket went under stay-at-home orders in the last couple of days as the pandem-ic strains hospitals in the most populous US state
CA Notify had been tested on state university campuses since September The University of California San Diego will contin-ue to oversee the system and staff a user support phone hotline

India can bank on match-winner Pandya for next five years Kohli
SYDNEY - India captain Vi-rat Kohli has identified Har-dik Pandya as their ldquobankablerdquo match-winner for the next four to five years after the all-rounder dazzled in their series-clinching Twenty20 Interna-tional victory over Australia on Sunday
India needed 25 runs off the last two overs and Pandya deliv-ered in style smashing two sixes in the final over to secure a six-wicket victory with two balls to spare
ldquoHe has natural raw talent and now hersquos quite experienced having played quite a bit of T20 cricket in the IPL (Indian Pre-mier League) and playing for In-dia toordquo Kohli said after Indiarsquos second successive win in the three-match series
ldquoNow he realises that this is his time the next four-five years to become that bankable middle-order player that can win you games from anywhere
ldquoYou need that finisher and hersquos becoming that for us Hersquos
hungry hersquos got to keep getting betterrdquo
Pandya whose 42 not out off 22 balls earned him the Man of the Match award showed no signs of nerves even as the ask-ing run rate spiralled
ldquoI always believe as a cricket-er you have to improve with time
and I have taken some time but I think things are coming pretty well nowrdquo said the 27-year- old
ldquoNow my biggest goal (is) that I want to finish games where it matters the mostrdquo
Pandya said he was happy to bat wherever the team need him
ldquoIf time comes when I have to bat number four I donrsquot mindrdquo he added ldquoIf time comes where I have to finish the game I have to do that job as well whatever the team requiresrdquo
Tuesdayrsquos final Twenty20 match will also be played at the Sydney Cricket Ground

Rahane gets century boost ahead of key test role in Australia
SYDNEY - Indiarsquos Ajinkya Ra-hane crafted an unbeaten century in a warm-up match on Sunday to give himself a timely boost ahead of his major responsibility in the four-test series against Australia beginning later this month
With regular skipper Virat Kohli set to return home after the opening test in Adelaide to attend the birth of his first child Rahane will be in charge in the final three matches in Australia
The right-handed batsman made 108 not out to help the tour-ists overcome a top order wobble and reach 237-8 on day one of the three-day match against Australia A at Drummoyne Oval
Rahane hit 16 boundaries and a six an upper cut against James
Pattinson to reach the half-centu-ry mark
Number three Cheteshwar Pu-jara who was awarded man-of-
the-series when India won their maiden test series in Australia two seasons ago also spent qual-ity time in the middle and scored 54
While Rahane played in the recent Indian Premier League (IPL) in the United Arab Emir-ates this was Pujararsquos first com-petitive outing since a domestic Ranji Trophy match in early March
Pujara lasted 140 balls before falling to Pattinson who claimed 3-58 to signal his own prepared-ness for the test series
It was a mixed outing for the tourists as three of their top six batsmen including openers Prithvi Shaw and Shubman Gill fell for ducks

MOVIE REVIEW
Itrsquos been eight months since
the last big Hindi film Angrezi Medium hit screens Once the lockdown kicked in films be-gan to go online even the ones starring A-listers But produc-ers of some small films decided to wait for cinemas to reopen Last month cinemas finally got the go-ahead in most parts of the country while on November 5 the prime state of Maharashtra too gave its nod This prompted Zee Studios to release Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari on Diwali on the big screen The trailer of the film has been impressive and carries a good vibe So does Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari manage to en-tertain and give viewers a good time Or does it falter Letrsquos analyse
Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari is the story of a feud between a wedding detective and a dairy owner The year is 1995 Suraj Singh Dhillon (Diljit Dosanjh) is a single guy from Mumbai and the heir of Jai Mata Rani Doodh Bhandar He lives with his fa-ther Gurnaam Dhillon (Manoj Pahwa) mother Yeshodha Dhil-lon (Seema Pahwa) and sister Guddi (Vanshika Sharma) His parents are looking for a right match but their efforts are futile
Surajs sidekick Sukhi (Manuj Sharma) tells him to be cool and a bad boy and that it would help attract girls Suraj likes the idea and as part of his stint as a cool bad boy he breaks the traf-fic signal and consumes alcohol in front of a girlrsquos college Mean-while his parents find a match for him An excited Suraj goes to the girlrsquos house with his par-ents But the girlrsquos parents refuse their proposal because they had the pictures of Suraj while he was in his bad boy avatar Suraj is dejected and is dying to know who clicked his pictures after all After cajoling the Pandit Dubey ji (Neeraj Sood) he gets to know that itrsquos none other than Madhu Mangal Rane (Manoj Bajpayee) a wedding detective He believes itrsquos his job to find flaws in the to-be grooms and thus save the lives of gullible girls and their families Suraj wants revenge but doesnrsquot know how He then realizes that Mangal has a sis-ter Tulshi Rane (Fatima Sana Shaikh) He decides to fake a relationship with her in order to get back at Mangal However he falls for her in real He expresses his love to Tulshi She however is hiding a shocking secret about her life and passion This secret gives Suraj the much needed op-portunity to damage Mangals reputation At the same time it can also dent his marriage pros-pects with Tulshi What happens next forms the rest of the film
Shokhi Banerjees story is very interesting and entertaining One might feel that the makers revealed almost the whole plot in the trailer But thatrsquos not the case as the film has a lot more to of-fer Rohan Shankars screenplay is entertaining for most parts The various twists and dramatic points are well fleshed out How-ever a few rough edges remain Also the humour quotient is lim-ited Rohan Shankars dialogues are hilarious and a few of them are sure to induce claps
Abhishek Sharmas direction is neat He deserves brownie
points for keeping the mood of the film light from start to finish The film never gets too heavy even in no-nonsense situations Also the film is replete with some very quirky characters and he makes good use of them to add to the fun Moreover the film cel-ebrates the Marathi culture and the middle-class lifestyle of the city It fondly also reminds one of the simple slice-of-life films made by Hrishikesh Mukherjee and Basu Chatterjee On the flip-side some of the portions of the first half arenrsquot upto the mark es-pecially the lsquoBad Boyrsquo sequence A few developments are hard to digest especially the track of the professor deciding not to take any action against his wife despite the latter cheating on him Also the manner in which Madhu plans the breaking off the engagement ceremony of his sister is a bit too much Mangalrsquos change of heart
in the climax also comes across as very unconvincing Thank-fully the Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge [1995] inspired climax makes up for it
Anshuman Mahaleys cin-ematography is first-rate Rajat Poddars production design is authentic and reminds one of the 90s Vijay Gangulys choreogra-phy is appealing in Basanti Jia Bhagia and Mallika Chauhans costumes are realistic for all the characters Fatemarsquos clothes however donrsquot seem to be of 1995 but nevertheless looks glamorous Rameshwar Bhagats editing is fair
On the whole Suraj Pe Man-gal Bhari is a decent entertain-er and a clean family film that works because of its plot the depiction of the mid-90s era and the performances

WASHINGTON - IBM and US offi cials are sounding the alarm over hackers targeting companies critical to the distribu-tion of COVID-19 vaccines
IBM said last Thursday that the campaign was a sign that digital spies are turning their attention to the complex logistical work in-volved in inoculating the worldrsquos population against the novel coronavirus although some out-side experts questioned whether that was the hackersrsquo focus
In a blog post here published last Thursday IBM said it had uncovered ldquoa global phishing campaignrdquo focused on organi-zations associated with the CO-VID-19 vaccine ldquocold chainrdquo - the process needed to keep vaccine doses at extremely cold temperatures as they travel from manufacturers to peoplersquos arms
The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency reposted the report warning here members of Operation Warp Speed - the US governmentrsquos
national vaccine mission - to be on the lookout
Other cybsecurity experts expressed some skepticism however of IBMrsquos fi ndings
Joe Slowik a researcher at on-line threat intelligence fi rm Do-mainTools said he believed IBM had stumbled upon ldquoa subset of activityrdquo that was part of a much wider campaign ldquowhich may not be focused on vaccines or similar activityrdquo
While ldquodefi nitely maliciousrdquo Slowik said he was not convinced it was specifi cally focused on vaccine distribution
Who is behind the espionage is not clear Messages sent to the email addresses used by the hackers were not returned
Understanding how to build a secure cold chain is fundamental to distributing vaccines devel-oped by the likes of Pfi zer Inc and BioNTech because the shots need to be stored at minus 70 de-grees Celsius (-94 F) or below to avoid spoiling
Hackers target groups in COVID-19 vaccine distribution says IBM
IBMrsquos cybersecurity unit said it had detected an advanced group of hackers working to gather in-formation about diff erent aspects of the cold chain using meticu-lously crafted booby-trapped emails sent in the name of an ex-ecutive with Haier Biomedical a Chinese cold chain provider that specializes in vaccine transport
and biological sample storageHaier Medical did not return
messages seeking commentTargets included companies
involved in the manufacture of solar panels which are used to power vaccine refrigerators in warm countries and petrochemi-cal products that could be used to derive dry ice
Amazon eyes potential $100 million investment in Indiarsquos Apollo Pharmacy
BENGALURU - Amazoncom Inc is considering a nearly $100 million investment in In-diarsquos pharmacy chain Apollo Pharmacy facing up to Reliance Industries Ltd and Tata Group in the countryrsquos fast-growing drug market the Economic Times re-ported on Wednesday citing two people aware of the plans
Amazon already delivers med-icines in India and the potential investment would come amid rising competition from Muke-sh Ambanirsquos Reliance which bought a majority stake in online pharmacy Netmeds
Tata Group here meanwhile
was reportedly in talks to pick up a majority stake in e-pharma-cy fi rm 1mg
Both Amazon and Apollo Hospitals which owns Apollo Pharmacy declined to comment
The growth of e-pharmacies however has left many Indian trader groups feeling threatened who say online drugstores can contribute to medicine sales without proper verifi cation and the entry of large players can cause unemployment in the sector
Amazonrsquos plan to further ex-pand in India also comes close on the heels of its launch of an online pharmacy to deliver pre-scription drugs in the United States increasing competi-tion with drug retailers such as Walgreens CVS Health and Walmart

NEW YORK - Indiarsquos econ-omy will return to growth in 202122 after a sharp con-traction in the latest year and higher public spending will lay the foundation for stronger growth in the next four to five years Finance Minister Nirma-la Sitharaman told Reuters last Thursday
With the worldrsquos second high-est number of coronavirus cases despite a severe lockdown of its 13 billion people early in the pandemic Indiarsquos economy is expected to contract nearly 10 in the 202021 financial year
But a recovery is taking hold now Sitharaman told the Reuters Global Investment Outlook Summit 2021
ldquoI would think 2021-22 will be very big good traction year
Indiarsquos economy on the rebound govt focuses on spending Sitharamanfor achieving a really good rate of growth that itself is going to be a launching pad for 4-5 years of growing at a good speed pro-vided we do enough on the bud-get and spend on infrastructurerdquo she said She gave no numbers about how big a government spending increase she planned to propose
Because the Indian govern-ment was concerned about its budget deficit its stimulus to
fight the economic slump during the pandemic was more mod-est than those of other countries such as the United States Japan and the United Kingdom
Sitharaman suggested the government should spend more in the months ahead to boost the growth rate
ldquoI have to be conscious that if I donrsquot spend now then the stim-ulus is meaningless if I donrsquot spend now the revival is going to get deferred and we canrsquot afford thatrdquo
The pace of the recovery would however depend on de-
velopment and adequate sup-ply of coronavirus vaccines economists say
India does not yet have a vac-cine purchase contract with any company but has said it will rely mainly on five being tested in the country including the Oxford-AstraZeneca one and Russiarsquos Sputnik V
Sitharaman said the govern-ment was bulking up the logis-tics including sufficient cold storage facilities to ensure de-livery of the vaccine down to the village councils across the country
RBI holds rates says will ensure ample liquidityMUMBAI - The Reserve Bank
of India (RBI) kept its key interest rates steady as widely expected last Friday amid persistently high inflation but said it will ensure ample liquidity is provided to stressed sectors to keep a nascent economic recovery on track
Its monetary policy committee decided to retain an accommoda-tive policy stance at least for the current financial year and into the next to revive growth on a du-rable basis while ensuring that inflation remains within target Governor Shaktikanta Das said in an online briefing
Das said the economy was re-bounding faster than expected
from a coronavirus-induced slump earlier in the year but warned signs of recovery were far from being broad based CO-VID-19 infections are also con-tinuing to climb with the tally now 957 million people
Das said MPC members voted unanimously to hold rates and re-tain the stance The key lending rate of the RBI or the repo rate was left unchanged at 4 while the reverse repo rate or the key borrowing rate stayed at 335
ldquoThe MPC is of the view that inflation is likely to remain el-evated barring transient relief in the winter months from prices of perishablesrdquo Das said
ldquoThis constrains monetary pol-icy at the current juncture from using the space available to act in support of growthrdquo
Indian stocks extended earlier gains to hit record highs after the decision while the Indian rupee strengthened slightly to 7376 against the dollar The bench-mark 10-year bond yield fell 3 basis points to 590
Das announced measures to help improve access to funding for stressed sectors and said the RBI will take further steps when necessary to ensure ample rupee liquidity to sustain visible growth impulses without impacting inflation

Telemarketing fraudster pleads guiltyPROVIDENCE RI - An Indian
national last week admitted to a federal judge in Providence that he participated in a wide-ranging conspiracy based in India to de-fraud United States citizens pri-marily seniors by telling victims that malware had been detected on their computers and based on that falsehood induced the vic-tims to direct money to him and his co-conspirators as payment for purported computer protection services that were not needed or ever provided
The conspirators in fact did not detect malware on victimsrsquo computers and accepted payment without providing any protection services
Himanshu Asri 33 of Delhi In-dia admitted that he had 325 call-ers routed to call centers in India where call center operators falsely reasserted to victims that malware had been detected on their com-puters and offered the victims purported computer protection services in exchange for payment The purpose of the false assertions was to induce people into routing money to the fraudsters
According to information pre-sented to the court from as far back as January 2015 through January 2020 Asri and others working together collected in
total approximately $940995 from victims through their fraud and attempted to collect between $1500000 and $3000000 The actual loss was less than the in-tended loss because some of those who were targeted by Asri and his coconspirators did not send any funds to the fraudsters
According to information pre-sented to the court the govern-ment and the defendant agree that many of Asrirsquos victims were vulnerable to fraud schemes due to age or infirmity and the parties agree that the scheme pursued by Asri and his coconspirators were structured to exploit such persons specifically persons over the age of 65
Appearing last week before
US District Court Chief Judge John J McConnell Jr Asri pleaded guilty to wire fraud con-spiracy announced United States Attorney Aaron L Weisman and Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Boston Division Joseph R Bonavolonta
Asri the 4th India-based tele-marketing fraudster to be convict-ed in federal court in Rhode Island in the past three months is sched-uled to be sentenced on February 18 2021 Wire fraud conspiracy is punishable by statutory penalties of up to 20 years in prison three years of supervised release and a fine of $250000
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant US Attorney Milind M Shah

Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine data wins backing of FDA authorization nears
By Manas Mishra Michael Erman and Rebecca Spalding
Pfi zer Inc cleared the next hurdle in the race to get its COVID-19 vaccine ap-proved for emergency use on Tuesday after the US Food and Drug Administra-tion (FDA) released documents that raised no new issues about its safety or effi cacy
Pfi zer and German partner BioNTech SE said last month their coronavirus vac-cinersquos two-dose regimen was 95 eff ec-tive against COVID-19 and had no ma-jor safety issues and asked the FDA for emergency use authorization
The vaccinersquos effi cacy and safety data met its expectations for emergency use authorization FDA staff said in docu-ments released ahead of a Thursday meet-ing of outside experts to the FDA who will discuss whether to recommend the Pfi zer
shot for people aged 16 and olderJeff eries analyst Michael Yee said in
research note the documents were ldquovery simple and straightforward which we think will lead to approval imminentlyrdquo
The agency typically follows the rec-ommendations of its advisory panels but is not required to do so It is not clear how many days or weeks the FDA will take to make a decision but states are prepping for vaccine deliveries in mid-December
The documents were released on the day Britons began getting the Pfi zerBi-oNTech vaccine the worldrsquos fi rst recipi-ents outside of clinical trials
ldquoThere are no surprises here The ef-fi cacy and the safety is consistent with what we heard and what we hoped for It does look like the vaccine is safe at least in the short termrdquo said Dr Daniel Culver chair of Pulmonary Medicine at Cleveland Clinic in an interview He said the data showing it was as eff ective in older people as in younger people was reassuring
Pfi zer shares rose nearly 2 and BioN-Techrsquos US shares were up 25 in early trading
Pfi zer Chief Executive Albert Bourla said on Tuesday he expects a ldquovery in-tenserdquo meeting with a US vaccine advi-sory panel this week but is counting on the panel of outside experts to sign off on his companyrsquos COVID-19 vaccine candi-date
ldquoI think they will vote lsquoyesrsquo given the strength of the datardquo Bourla said at a
conference hosted by a pharmaceutical industry group
PROTECTION AFTER ONE SHOTData from the trial showed that the vac-
cine began conferring some protection to recipients even before they received the sec-ond shot the FDA said The eff ect became most pronounced about 14 days after people received the fi rst shot
The agencyrsquos staff noted that more data would be needed to assess the potential of a single-dose shot It said that the effi cacy after dose 1 and before dose 2 was around 52 percent
A two-dose vaccination was highly eff ec-tive in preventing confi rmed cases of COV-ID-19 at least seven days after the last dose FDA staff said
The FDA staff also said that available data while limited suggested the people who had been previously infected with the new coronavirus could benefi t from vac-
cination Very few cases of confi rmed CO-VID-19 occurred among participants with evidence of infection prior to vaccination though more of those that did were in the placebo group than the vaccine group the staff said
FDA staff also said that the trial which was designed to look at eff ectiveness against COVID-19 did not produce data to answer the question of if it also stopped infection
In terms of safety the FDA staff said there was currently insuffi cient data to make conclusions about the safety of the vaccine in people below 16 years of age pregnant women and those with compromised immune systems
There were a total of six deaths in the 44000 person trial with two deaths among those who got the vaccine and the rest in those who received a placebo the docu-ments showed All deaths represent events that occur in the general population at a similar rate FDA staff said

NEW YORK - Companies and industry groups lobbying to get their US workers to the front of the line for COVID vaccination are running into a patchwork of state plans and confusion over who is essential and who is not
Inoculation against the disease caused by the novel coronavirus is key to safely reopening large parts of the economy and reduc-ing the risks of illness at crowd-ed meatpacking plants factories and warehouses
But before one needle has en-tered the arm of an American
worker confusion has broken out over who exactly is consid-ered essential during a pandemic
With initial vaccine doses limited and strong federal guid-ance lacking it has fallen to US states to determine who will be first in line to receive a vaccine and who will have to wait well into next year
State vaccine distribution plans reviewed by Reuters showed broad discrepancies over who would be considered essential with some states clearly outlin-ing specific worker groups and
others not providing any clarityGenerally states have broad
discretion when it comes to vac-cine distribution and policy and are able to issue vaccination mandates for their residents
Many states have so far fol-lowed federal guidance to give meat and food processing indus-try workers space in the line but some are slowly moving away said Mark Lauritsen a former hog slaughter worker who now advocates on behalf of about
250000 meatpacking and food processing workers under the United Food and Commercial Workers union
ldquoFor example Colorado has not moved meatpacking and meat-processing as high as some other states So wersquoll be directing a lot of our effort towards places like Colorado where we may be moved down the food chainrdquo
ldquoWersquore a union that has mem-bers in every state so we will be talking to every state to make
our case as to where our place in line should beEverybody is go-ing to be jockeying for a place in linerdquo
More than 20 large industries have urged officials to prioritize their workers including individ-ual companies such as ride-hail-ing company Uber Technologies Inc and food delivery provider DoorDash Inc and industry groups representing truck driv-ers teachers retail workers and other business sectors
As US companies push to get workers vaccinated states disagree on whorsquos essential

California becomes biggest US stateto launch virus contact-tracing app
OAKLAND - California on Monday announced an app to help people track their exposure to the coronavirus becoming the big-gest US state to take advantage of new technology from smart-phone software makers Apple Inc and Alphabet Incrsquos Google
Beginning on Thursday people in California can activate the ex-posure notifications tool from the settings menu on iPhones or by downloading the CA Notify App in the Google Play store on Android devices
The apps enable Bluetooth sig-nals between devices to determine
when they are in close proximity and the apps then anonymously alert users when a recent contact later tests positive At least 6 mil-lion people in the United States have tried the system in recent months across the 21 states and two territories that made apps available before California Colo-rado and New York are among other states with apps
Public health experts say adop-tion has lagged because of tech-nical shortcomings in the earliest apps privacy concerns and dis-missive attitudes toward taking precautions to avoid the virus
But California officials hope the app will be adopted quickly in a state that is home to many tech workers
The statersquos two most densely inhabited regions and its agri-cultural breadbasket went under stay-at-home orders in the last couple of days as the pandem-ic strains hospitals in the most populous US state
CA Notify had been tested on state university campuses since September The University of California San Diego will contin-ue to oversee the system and staff a user support phone hotline

India can bank on match-winner Pandya for next five years Kohli
SYDNEY - India captain Vi-rat Kohli has identified Har-dik Pandya as their ldquobankablerdquo match-winner for the next four to five years after the all-rounder dazzled in their series-clinching Twenty20 Interna-tional victory over Australia on Sunday
India needed 25 runs off the last two overs and Pandya deliv-ered in style smashing two sixes in the final over to secure a six-wicket victory with two balls to spare
ldquoHe has natural raw talent and now hersquos quite experienced having played quite a bit of T20 cricket in the IPL (Indian Pre-mier League) and playing for In-dia toordquo Kohli said after Indiarsquos second successive win in the three-match series
ldquoNow he realises that this is his time the next four-five years to become that bankable middle-order player that can win you games from anywhere
ldquoYou need that finisher and hersquos becoming that for us Hersquos
hungry hersquos got to keep getting betterrdquo
Pandya whose 42 not out off 22 balls earned him the Man of the Match award showed no signs of nerves even as the ask-ing run rate spiralled
ldquoI always believe as a cricket-er you have to improve with time
and I have taken some time but I think things are coming pretty well nowrdquo said the 27-year- old
ldquoNow my biggest goal (is) that I want to finish games where it matters the mostrdquo
Pandya said he was happy to bat wherever the team need him
ldquoIf time comes when I have to bat number four I donrsquot mindrdquo he added ldquoIf time comes where I have to finish the game I have to do that job as well whatever the team requiresrdquo
Tuesdayrsquos final Twenty20 match will also be played at the Sydney Cricket Ground

Rahane gets century boost ahead of key test role in Australia
SYDNEY - Indiarsquos Ajinkya Ra-hane crafted an unbeaten century in a warm-up match on Sunday to give himself a timely boost ahead of his major responsibility in the four-test series against Australia beginning later this month
With regular skipper Virat Kohli set to return home after the opening test in Adelaide to attend the birth of his first child Rahane will be in charge in the final three matches in Australia
The right-handed batsman made 108 not out to help the tour-ists overcome a top order wobble and reach 237-8 on day one of the three-day match against Australia A at Drummoyne Oval
Rahane hit 16 boundaries and a six an upper cut against James
Pattinson to reach the half-centu-ry mark
Number three Cheteshwar Pu-jara who was awarded man-of-
the-series when India won their maiden test series in Australia two seasons ago also spent qual-ity time in the middle and scored 54
While Rahane played in the recent Indian Premier League (IPL) in the United Arab Emir-ates this was Pujararsquos first com-petitive outing since a domestic Ranji Trophy match in early March
Pujara lasted 140 balls before falling to Pattinson who claimed 3-58 to signal his own prepared-ness for the test series
It was a mixed outing for the tourists as three of their top six batsmen including openers Prithvi Shaw and Shubman Gill fell for ducks

In a big win for actress Rakul Preet Singh the News Broad-casting Standards Authority (NBSA) has directed Zee News Zee 24 Tas and Zee Hindustan to air an apology on December 17 for their ldquovilifying reports link-ing her to drugs and SSR caserdquo In September when Singh was summoned by the Narcot-ics Control Bureau (NCB) she moved Delhi HC seeking direc-tion to stop media reports link-ing her with the drugs case call-ing them defamatory
The NBSA also provided the three ZEE news channels with a statement that had to be aired on December 17 ldquoWe apolo-gise for the manner in which the HashtagsTaglines and Im-ages were telecast while report-ing the ongoing investigation of Rhea Chakrabortyrsquos narcotic drugs case The telecasts vio-lated the Code of Ethics and Broadcasting Standards requir-ing broadcasters to maintain neutrality impartiality accuracy and fairness the Specifi c Guide-lines Covering Reportage and Specifi c Guidelines for Report-ing Court Proceedings We clari-fy that there was no intention on our part to sensationalise the is-sue or to prejudice the investiga-tion in any manner We reiterate our commitment to uphold every individuals right to fair trial and reputation while reporting about matters under investigationrdquo
The channels were also given a warning by NBSA and told them to be careful while tele-casting such misleading tag-lines and images in future

MOVIE REVIEW
Itrsquos been eight months since
the last big Hindi film Angrezi Medium hit screens Once the lockdown kicked in films be-gan to go online even the ones starring A-listers But produc-ers of some small films decided to wait for cinemas to reopen Last month cinemas finally got the go-ahead in most parts of the country while on November 5 the prime state of Maharashtra too gave its nod This prompted Zee Studios to release Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari on Diwali on the big screen The trailer of the film has been impressive and carries a good vibe So does Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari manage to en-tertain and give viewers a good time Or does it falter Letrsquos analyse
Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari is the story of a feud between a wedding detective and a dairy owner The year is 1995 Suraj Singh Dhillon (Diljit Dosanjh) is a single guy from Mumbai and the heir of Jai Mata Rani Doodh Bhandar He lives with his fa-ther Gurnaam Dhillon (Manoj Pahwa) mother Yeshodha Dhil-lon (Seema Pahwa) and sister Guddi (Vanshika Sharma) His parents are looking for a right match but their efforts are futile
Surajs sidekick Sukhi (Manuj Sharma) tells him to be cool and a bad boy and that it would help attract girls Suraj likes the idea and as part of his stint as a cool bad boy he breaks the traf-fic signal and consumes alcohol in front of a girlrsquos college Mean-while his parents find a match for him An excited Suraj goes to the girlrsquos house with his par-ents But the girlrsquos parents refuse their proposal because they had the pictures of Suraj while he was in his bad boy avatar Suraj is dejected and is dying to know who clicked his pictures after all After cajoling the Pandit Dubey ji (Neeraj Sood) he gets to know that itrsquos none other than Madhu Mangal Rane (Manoj Bajpayee) a wedding detective He believes itrsquos his job to find flaws in the to-be grooms and thus save the lives of gullible girls and their families Suraj wants revenge but doesnrsquot know how He then realizes that Mangal has a sis-ter Tulshi Rane (Fatima Sana Shaikh) He decides to fake a relationship with her in order to get back at Mangal However he falls for her in real He expresses his love to Tulshi She however is hiding a shocking secret about her life and passion This secret gives Suraj the much needed op-portunity to damage Mangals reputation At the same time it can also dent his marriage pros-pects with Tulshi What happens next forms the rest of the film
Shokhi Banerjees story is very interesting and entertaining One might feel that the makers revealed almost the whole plot in the trailer But thatrsquos not the case as the film has a lot more to of-fer Rohan Shankars screenplay is entertaining for most parts The various twists and dramatic points are well fleshed out How-ever a few rough edges remain Also the humour quotient is lim-ited Rohan Shankars dialogues are hilarious and a few of them are sure to induce claps
Abhishek Sharmas direction is neat He deserves brownie
points for keeping the mood of the film light from start to finish The film never gets too heavy even in no-nonsense situations Also the film is replete with some very quirky characters and he makes good use of them to add to the fun Moreover the film cel-ebrates the Marathi culture and the middle-class lifestyle of the city It fondly also reminds one of the simple slice-of-life films made by Hrishikesh Mukherjee and Basu Chatterjee On the flip-side some of the portions of the first half arenrsquot upto the mark es-pecially the lsquoBad Boyrsquo sequence A few developments are hard to digest especially the track of the professor deciding not to take any action against his wife despite the latter cheating on him Also the manner in which Madhu plans the breaking off the engagement ceremony of his sister is a bit too much Mangalrsquos change of heart
in the climax also comes across as very unconvincing Thank-fully the Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge [1995] inspired climax makes up for it
Anshuman Mahaleys cin-ematography is first-rate Rajat Poddars production design is authentic and reminds one of the 90s Vijay Gangulys choreogra-phy is appealing in Basanti Jia Bhagia and Mallika Chauhans costumes are realistic for all the characters Fatemarsquos clothes however donrsquot seem to be of 1995 but nevertheless looks glamorous Rameshwar Bhagats editing is fair
On the whole Suraj Pe Man-gal Bhari is a decent entertain-er and a clean family film that works because of its plot the depiction of the mid-90s era and the performances

WASHINGTON - IBM and US offi cials are sounding the alarm over hackers targeting companies critical to the distribu-tion of COVID-19 vaccines
IBM said last Thursday that the campaign was a sign that digital spies are turning their attention to the complex logistical work in-volved in inoculating the worldrsquos population against the novel coronavirus although some out-side experts questioned whether that was the hackersrsquo focus
In a blog post here published last Thursday IBM said it had uncovered ldquoa global phishing campaignrdquo focused on organi-zations associated with the CO-VID-19 vaccine ldquocold chainrdquo - the process needed to keep vaccine doses at extremely cold temperatures as they travel from manufacturers to peoplersquos arms
The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency reposted the report warning here members of Operation Warp Speed - the US governmentrsquos
national vaccine mission - to be on the lookout
Other cybsecurity experts expressed some skepticism however of IBMrsquos fi ndings
Joe Slowik a researcher at on-line threat intelligence fi rm Do-mainTools said he believed IBM had stumbled upon ldquoa subset of activityrdquo that was part of a much wider campaign ldquowhich may not be focused on vaccines or similar activityrdquo
While ldquodefi nitely maliciousrdquo Slowik said he was not convinced it was specifi cally focused on vaccine distribution
Who is behind the espionage is not clear Messages sent to the email addresses used by the hackers were not returned
Understanding how to build a secure cold chain is fundamental to distributing vaccines devel-oped by the likes of Pfi zer Inc and BioNTech because the shots need to be stored at minus 70 de-grees Celsius (-94 F) or below to avoid spoiling
Hackers target groups in COVID-19 vaccine distribution says IBM
IBMrsquos cybersecurity unit said it had detected an advanced group of hackers working to gather in-formation about diff erent aspects of the cold chain using meticu-lously crafted booby-trapped emails sent in the name of an ex-ecutive with Haier Biomedical a Chinese cold chain provider that specializes in vaccine transport
and biological sample storageHaier Medical did not return
messages seeking commentTargets included companies
involved in the manufacture of solar panels which are used to power vaccine refrigerators in warm countries and petrochemi-cal products that could be used to derive dry ice
Amazon eyes potential $100 million investment in Indiarsquos Apollo Pharmacy
BENGALURU - Amazoncom Inc is considering a nearly $100 million investment in In-diarsquos pharmacy chain Apollo Pharmacy facing up to Reliance Industries Ltd and Tata Group in the countryrsquos fast-growing drug market the Economic Times re-ported on Wednesday citing two people aware of the plans
Amazon already delivers med-icines in India and the potential investment would come amid rising competition from Muke-sh Ambanirsquos Reliance which bought a majority stake in online pharmacy Netmeds
Tata Group here meanwhile
was reportedly in talks to pick up a majority stake in e-pharma-cy fi rm 1mg
Both Amazon and Apollo Hospitals which owns Apollo Pharmacy declined to comment
The growth of e-pharmacies however has left many Indian trader groups feeling threatened who say online drugstores can contribute to medicine sales without proper verifi cation and the entry of large players can cause unemployment in the sector
Amazonrsquos plan to further ex-pand in India also comes close on the heels of its launch of an online pharmacy to deliver pre-scription drugs in the United States increasing competi-tion with drug retailers such as Walgreens CVS Health and Walmart

NEW YORK - Indiarsquos econ-omy will return to growth in 202122 after a sharp con-traction in the latest year and higher public spending will lay the foundation for stronger growth in the next four to five years Finance Minister Nirma-la Sitharaman told Reuters last Thursday
With the worldrsquos second high-est number of coronavirus cases despite a severe lockdown of its 13 billion people early in the pandemic Indiarsquos economy is expected to contract nearly 10 in the 202021 financial year
But a recovery is taking hold now Sitharaman told the Reuters Global Investment Outlook Summit 2021
ldquoI would think 2021-22 will be very big good traction year
Indiarsquos economy on the rebound govt focuses on spending Sitharamanfor achieving a really good rate of growth that itself is going to be a launching pad for 4-5 years of growing at a good speed pro-vided we do enough on the bud-get and spend on infrastructurerdquo she said She gave no numbers about how big a government spending increase she planned to propose
Because the Indian govern-ment was concerned about its budget deficit its stimulus to
fight the economic slump during the pandemic was more mod-est than those of other countries such as the United States Japan and the United Kingdom
Sitharaman suggested the government should spend more in the months ahead to boost the growth rate
ldquoI have to be conscious that if I donrsquot spend now then the stim-ulus is meaningless if I donrsquot spend now the revival is going to get deferred and we canrsquot afford thatrdquo
The pace of the recovery would however depend on de-
velopment and adequate sup-ply of coronavirus vaccines economists say
India does not yet have a vac-cine purchase contract with any company but has said it will rely mainly on five being tested in the country including the Oxford-AstraZeneca one and Russiarsquos Sputnik V
Sitharaman said the govern-ment was bulking up the logis-tics including sufficient cold storage facilities to ensure de-livery of the vaccine down to the village councils across the country
RBI holds rates says will ensure ample liquidityMUMBAI - The Reserve Bank
of India (RBI) kept its key interest rates steady as widely expected last Friday amid persistently high inflation but said it will ensure ample liquidity is provided to stressed sectors to keep a nascent economic recovery on track
Its monetary policy committee decided to retain an accommoda-tive policy stance at least for the current financial year and into the next to revive growth on a du-rable basis while ensuring that inflation remains within target Governor Shaktikanta Das said in an online briefing
Das said the economy was re-bounding faster than expected
from a coronavirus-induced slump earlier in the year but warned signs of recovery were far from being broad based CO-VID-19 infections are also con-tinuing to climb with the tally now 957 million people
Das said MPC members voted unanimously to hold rates and re-tain the stance The key lending rate of the RBI or the repo rate was left unchanged at 4 while the reverse repo rate or the key borrowing rate stayed at 335
ldquoThe MPC is of the view that inflation is likely to remain el-evated barring transient relief in the winter months from prices of perishablesrdquo Das said
ldquoThis constrains monetary pol-icy at the current juncture from using the space available to act in support of growthrdquo
Indian stocks extended earlier gains to hit record highs after the decision while the Indian rupee strengthened slightly to 7376 against the dollar The bench-mark 10-year bond yield fell 3 basis points to 590
Das announced measures to help improve access to funding for stressed sectors and said the RBI will take further steps when necessary to ensure ample rupee liquidity to sustain visible growth impulses without impacting inflation

Telemarketing fraudster pleads guiltyPROVIDENCE RI - An Indian
national last week admitted to a federal judge in Providence that he participated in a wide-ranging conspiracy based in India to de-fraud United States citizens pri-marily seniors by telling victims that malware had been detected on their computers and based on that falsehood induced the vic-tims to direct money to him and his co-conspirators as payment for purported computer protection services that were not needed or ever provided
The conspirators in fact did not detect malware on victimsrsquo computers and accepted payment without providing any protection services
Himanshu Asri 33 of Delhi In-dia admitted that he had 325 call-ers routed to call centers in India where call center operators falsely reasserted to victims that malware had been detected on their com-puters and offered the victims purported computer protection services in exchange for payment The purpose of the false assertions was to induce people into routing money to the fraudsters
According to information pre-sented to the court from as far back as January 2015 through January 2020 Asri and others working together collected in
total approximately $940995 from victims through their fraud and attempted to collect between $1500000 and $3000000 The actual loss was less than the in-tended loss because some of those who were targeted by Asri and his coconspirators did not send any funds to the fraudsters
According to information pre-sented to the court the govern-ment and the defendant agree that many of Asrirsquos victims were vulnerable to fraud schemes due to age or infirmity and the parties agree that the scheme pursued by Asri and his coconspirators were structured to exploit such persons specifically persons over the age of 65
Appearing last week before
US District Court Chief Judge John J McConnell Jr Asri pleaded guilty to wire fraud con-spiracy announced United States Attorney Aaron L Weisman and Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Boston Division Joseph R Bonavolonta
Asri the 4th India-based tele-marketing fraudster to be convict-ed in federal court in Rhode Island in the past three months is sched-uled to be sentenced on February 18 2021 Wire fraud conspiracy is punishable by statutory penalties of up to 20 years in prison three years of supervised release and a fine of $250000
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant US Attorney Milind M Shah

Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine data wins backing of FDA authorization nears
By Manas Mishra Michael Erman and Rebecca Spalding
Pfi zer Inc cleared the next hurdle in the race to get its COVID-19 vaccine ap-proved for emergency use on Tuesday after the US Food and Drug Administra-tion (FDA) released documents that raised no new issues about its safety or effi cacy
Pfi zer and German partner BioNTech SE said last month their coronavirus vac-cinersquos two-dose regimen was 95 eff ec-tive against COVID-19 and had no ma-jor safety issues and asked the FDA for emergency use authorization
The vaccinersquos effi cacy and safety data met its expectations for emergency use authorization FDA staff said in docu-ments released ahead of a Thursday meet-ing of outside experts to the FDA who will discuss whether to recommend the Pfi zer
shot for people aged 16 and olderJeff eries analyst Michael Yee said in
research note the documents were ldquovery simple and straightforward which we think will lead to approval imminentlyrdquo
The agency typically follows the rec-ommendations of its advisory panels but is not required to do so It is not clear how many days or weeks the FDA will take to make a decision but states are prepping for vaccine deliveries in mid-December
The documents were released on the day Britons began getting the Pfi zerBi-oNTech vaccine the worldrsquos fi rst recipi-ents outside of clinical trials
ldquoThere are no surprises here The ef-fi cacy and the safety is consistent with what we heard and what we hoped for It does look like the vaccine is safe at least in the short termrdquo said Dr Daniel Culver chair of Pulmonary Medicine at Cleveland Clinic in an interview He said the data showing it was as eff ective in older people as in younger people was reassuring
Pfi zer shares rose nearly 2 and BioN-Techrsquos US shares were up 25 in early trading
Pfi zer Chief Executive Albert Bourla said on Tuesday he expects a ldquovery in-tenserdquo meeting with a US vaccine advi-sory panel this week but is counting on the panel of outside experts to sign off on his companyrsquos COVID-19 vaccine candi-date
ldquoI think they will vote lsquoyesrsquo given the strength of the datardquo Bourla said at a
conference hosted by a pharmaceutical industry group
PROTECTION AFTER ONE SHOTData from the trial showed that the vac-
cine began conferring some protection to recipients even before they received the sec-ond shot the FDA said The eff ect became most pronounced about 14 days after people received the fi rst shot
The agencyrsquos staff noted that more data would be needed to assess the potential of a single-dose shot It said that the effi cacy after dose 1 and before dose 2 was around 52 percent
A two-dose vaccination was highly eff ec-tive in preventing confi rmed cases of COV-ID-19 at least seven days after the last dose FDA staff said
The FDA staff also said that available data while limited suggested the people who had been previously infected with the new coronavirus could benefi t from vac-
cination Very few cases of confi rmed CO-VID-19 occurred among participants with evidence of infection prior to vaccination though more of those that did were in the placebo group than the vaccine group the staff said
FDA staff also said that the trial which was designed to look at eff ectiveness against COVID-19 did not produce data to answer the question of if it also stopped infection
In terms of safety the FDA staff said there was currently insuffi cient data to make conclusions about the safety of the vaccine in people below 16 years of age pregnant women and those with compromised immune systems
There were a total of six deaths in the 44000 person trial with two deaths among those who got the vaccine and the rest in those who received a placebo the docu-ments showed All deaths represent events that occur in the general population at a similar rate FDA staff said

NEW YORK - Companies and industry groups lobbying to get their US workers to the front of the line for COVID vaccination are running into a patchwork of state plans and confusion over who is essential and who is not
Inoculation against the disease caused by the novel coronavirus is key to safely reopening large parts of the economy and reduc-ing the risks of illness at crowd-ed meatpacking plants factories and warehouses
But before one needle has en-tered the arm of an American
worker confusion has broken out over who exactly is consid-ered essential during a pandemic
With initial vaccine doses limited and strong federal guid-ance lacking it has fallen to US states to determine who will be first in line to receive a vaccine and who will have to wait well into next year
State vaccine distribution plans reviewed by Reuters showed broad discrepancies over who would be considered essential with some states clearly outlin-ing specific worker groups and
others not providing any clarityGenerally states have broad
discretion when it comes to vac-cine distribution and policy and are able to issue vaccination mandates for their residents
Many states have so far fol-lowed federal guidance to give meat and food processing indus-try workers space in the line but some are slowly moving away said Mark Lauritsen a former hog slaughter worker who now advocates on behalf of about
250000 meatpacking and food processing workers under the United Food and Commercial Workers union
ldquoFor example Colorado has not moved meatpacking and meat-processing as high as some other states So wersquoll be directing a lot of our effort towards places like Colorado where we may be moved down the food chainrdquo
ldquoWersquore a union that has mem-bers in every state so we will be talking to every state to make
our case as to where our place in line should beEverybody is go-ing to be jockeying for a place in linerdquo
More than 20 large industries have urged officials to prioritize their workers including individ-ual companies such as ride-hail-ing company Uber Technologies Inc and food delivery provider DoorDash Inc and industry groups representing truck driv-ers teachers retail workers and other business sectors
As US companies push to get workers vaccinated states disagree on whorsquos essential

California becomes biggest US stateto launch virus contact-tracing app
OAKLAND - California on Monday announced an app to help people track their exposure to the coronavirus becoming the big-gest US state to take advantage of new technology from smart-phone software makers Apple Inc and Alphabet Incrsquos Google
Beginning on Thursday people in California can activate the ex-posure notifications tool from the settings menu on iPhones or by downloading the CA Notify App in the Google Play store on Android devices
The apps enable Bluetooth sig-nals between devices to determine
when they are in close proximity and the apps then anonymously alert users when a recent contact later tests positive At least 6 mil-lion people in the United States have tried the system in recent months across the 21 states and two territories that made apps available before California Colo-rado and New York are among other states with apps
Public health experts say adop-tion has lagged because of tech-nical shortcomings in the earliest apps privacy concerns and dis-missive attitudes toward taking precautions to avoid the virus
But California officials hope the app will be adopted quickly in a state that is home to many tech workers
The statersquos two most densely inhabited regions and its agri-cultural breadbasket went under stay-at-home orders in the last couple of days as the pandem-ic strains hospitals in the most populous US state
CA Notify had been tested on state university campuses since September The University of California San Diego will contin-ue to oversee the system and staff a user support phone hotline

India can bank on match-winner Pandya for next five years Kohli
SYDNEY - India captain Vi-rat Kohli has identified Har-dik Pandya as their ldquobankablerdquo match-winner for the next four to five years after the all-rounder dazzled in their series-clinching Twenty20 Interna-tional victory over Australia on Sunday
India needed 25 runs off the last two overs and Pandya deliv-ered in style smashing two sixes in the final over to secure a six-wicket victory with two balls to spare
ldquoHe has natural raw talent and now hersquos quite experienced having played quite a bit of T20 cricket in the IPL (Indian Pre-mier League) and playing for In-dia toordquo Kohli said after Indiarsquos second successive win in the three-match series
ldquoNow he realises that this is his time the next four-five years to become that bankable middle-order player that can win you games from anywhere
ldquoYou need that finisher and hersquos becoming that for us Hersquos
hungry hersquos got to keep getting betterrdquo
Pandya whose 42 not out off 22 balls earned him the Man of the Match award showed no signs of nerves even as the ask-ing run rate spiralled
ldquoI always believe as a cricket-er you have to improve with time
and I have taken some time but I think things are coming pretty well nowrdquo said the 27-year- old
ldquoNow my biggest goal (is) that I want to finish games where it matters the mostrdquo
Pandya said he was happy to bat wherever the team need him
ldquoIf time comes when I have to bat number four I donrsquot mindrdquo he added ldquoIf time comes where I have to finish the game I have to do that job as well whatever the team requiresrdquo
Tuesdayrsquos final Twenty20 match will also be played at the Sydney Cricket Ground

Rahane gets century boost ahead of key test role in Australia
SYDNEY - Indiarsquos Ajinkya Ra-hane crafted an unbeaten century in a warm-up match on Sunday to give himself a timely boost ahead of his major responsibility in the four-test series against Australia beginning later this month
With regular skipper Virat Kohli set to return home after the opening test in Adelaide to attend the birth of his first child Rahane will be in charge in the final three matches in Australia
The right-handed batsman made 108 not out to help the tour-ists overcome a top order wobble and reach 237-8 on day one of the three-day match against Australia A at Drummoyne Oval
Rahane hit 16 boundaries and a six an upper cut against James
Pattinson to reach the half-centu-ry mark
Number three Cheteshwar Pu-jara who was awarded man-of-
the-series when India won their maiden test series in Australia two seasons ago also spent qual-ity time in the middle and scored 54
While Rahane played in the recent Indian Premier League (IPL) in the United Arab Emir-ates this was Pujararsquos first com-petitive outing since a domestic Ranji Trophy match in early March
Pujara lasted 140 balls before falling to Pattinson who claimed 3-58 to signal his own prepared-ness for the test series
It was a mixed outing for the tourists as three of their top six batsmen including openers Prithvi Shaw and Shubman Gill fell for ducks

MOVIE REVIEW
Itrsquos been eight months since
the last big Hindi film Angrezi Medium hit screens Once the lockdown kicked in films be-gan to go online even the ones starring A-listers But produc-ers of some small films decided to wait for cinemas to reopen Last month cinemas finally got the go-ahead in most parts of the country while on November 5 the prime state of Maharashtra too gave its nod This prompted Zee Studios to release Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari on Diwali on the big screen The trailer of the film has been impressive and carries a good vibe So does Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari manage to en-tertain and give viewers a good time Or does it falter Letrsquos analyse
Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari is the story of a feud between a wedding detective and a dairy owner The year is 1995 Suraj Singh Dhillon (Diljit Dosanjh) is a single guy from Mumbai and the heir of Jai Mata Rani Doodh Bhandar He lives with his fa-ther Gurnaam Dhillon (Manoj Pahwa) mother Yeshodha Dhil-lon (Seema Pahwa) and sister Guddi (Vanshika Sharma) His parents are looking for a right match but their efforts are futile
Surajs sidekick Sukhi (Manuj Sharma) tells him to be cool and a bad boy and that it would help attract girls Suraj likes the idea and as part of his stint as a cool bad boy he breaks the traf-fic signal and consumes alcohol in front of a girlrsquos college Mean-while his parents find a match for him An excited Suraj goes to the girlrsquos house with his par-ents But the girlrsquos parents refuse their proposal because they had the pictures of Suraj while he was in his bad boy avatar Suraj is dejected and is dying to know who clicked his pictures after all After cajoling the Pandit Dubey ji (Neeraj Sood) he gets to know that itrsquos none other than Madhu Mangal Rane (Manoj Bajpayee) a wedding detective He believes itrsquos his job to find flaws in the to-be grooms and thus save the lives of gullible girls and their families Suraj wants revenge but doesnrsquot know how He then realizes that Mangal has a sis-ter Tulshi Rane (Fatima Sana Shaikh) He decides to fake a relationship with her in order to get back at Mangal However he falls for her in real He expresses his love to Tulshi She however is hiding a shocking secret about her life and passion This secret gives Suraj the much needed op-portunity to damage Mangals reputation At the same time it can also dent his marriage pros-pects with Tulshi What happens next forms the rest of the film
Shokhi Banerjees story is very interesting and entertaining One might feel that the makers revealed almost the whole plot in the trailer But thatrsquos not the case as the film has a lot more to of-fer Rohan Shankars screenplay is entertaining for most parts The various twists and dramatic points are well fleshed out How-ever a few rough edges remain Also the humour quotient is lim-ited Rohan Shankars dialogues are hilarious and a few of them are sure to induce claps
Abhishek Sharmas direction is neat He deserves brownie
points for keeping the mood of the film light from start to finish The film never gets too heavy even in no-nonsense situations Also the film is replete with some very quirky characters and he makes good use of them to add to the fun Moreover the film cel-ebrates the Marathi culture and the middle-class lifestyle of the city It fondly also reminds one of the simple slice-of-life films made by Hrishikesh Mukherjee and Basu Chatterjee On the flip-side some of the portions of the first half arenrsquot upto the mark es-pecially the lsquoBad Boyrsquo sequence A few developments are hard to digest especially the track of the professor deciding not to take any action against his wife despite the latter cheating on him Also the manner in which Madhu plans the breaking off the engagement ceremony of his sister is a bit too much Mangalrsquos change of heart
in the climax also comes across as very unconvincing Thank-fully the Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge [1995] inspired climax makes up for it
Anshuman Mahaleys cin-ematography is first-rate Rajat Poddars production design is authentic and reminds one of the 90s Vijay Gangulys choreogra-phy is appealing in Basanti Jia Bhagia and Mallika Chauhans costumes are realistic for all the characters Fatemarsquos clothes however donrsquot seem to be of 1995 but nevertheless looks glamorous Rameshwar Bhagats editing is fair
On the whole Suraj Pe Man-gal Bhari is a decent entertain-er and a clean family film that works because of its plot the depiction of the mid-90s era and the performances

IndiGo to reach normal domestic
capacity soonIndiarsquos biggest airline IndiGo
expects to reach 80 of usual do-mestic capacity by the end of the month but international capacity is running at just a fi fth of normal levels because of the pandemic its chief executive said
The airline hopes to reach 100 of normal domestic capacity by early next year and 100 of its usual international capacity by the end of 2021 Chief Executive Ronojoy Dutta said
The low-cost airline owned by Interglobe Aviation Ltd re-ported last month a loss of 1195 billion rupees ($16245 million) in the second quarter ended Sept 30 as pandemic curbs dented its operations
IndiGo said at the time it ex-pected third-quarter capacity to be around 60 of period a year earlier But the Indian government soon after lifted its domestic ca-pacity cap to 70 and again last week to 80

WASHINGTON - IBM and US offi cials are sounding the alarm over hackers targeting companies critical to the distribu-tion of COVID-19 vaccines
IBM said last Thursday that the campaign was a sign that digital spies are turning their attention to the complex logistical work in-volved in inoculating the worldrsquos population against the novel coronavirus although some out-side experts questioned whether that was the hackersrsquo focus
In a blog post here published last Thursday IBM said it had uncovered ldquoa global phishing campaignrdquo focused on organi-zations associated with the CO-VID-19 vaccine ldquocold chainrdquo - the process needed to keep vaccine doses at extremely cold temperatures as they travel from manufacturers to peoplersquos arms
The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency reposted the report warning here members of Operation Warp Speed - the US governmentrsquos
national vaccine mission - to be on the lookout
Other cybsecurity experts expressed some skepticism however of IBMrsquos fi ndings
Joe Slowik a researcher at on-line threat intelligence fi rm Do-mainTools said he believed IBM had stumbled upon ldquoa subset of activityrdquo that was part of a much wider campaign ldquowhich may not be focused on vaccines or similar activityrdquo
While ldquodefi nitely maliciousrdquo Slowik said he was not convinced it was specifi cally focused on vaccine distribution
Who is behind the espionage is not clear Messages sent to the email addresses used by the hackers were not returned
Understanding how to build a secure cold chain is fundamental to distributing vaccines devel-oped by the likes of Pfi zer Inc and BioNTech because the shots need to be stored at minus 70 de-grees Celsius (-94 F) or below to avoid spoiling
Hackers target groups in COVID-19 vaccine distribution says IBM
IBMrsquos cybersecurity unit said it had detected an advanced group of hackers working to gather in-formation about diff erent aspects of the cold chain using meticu-lously crafted booby-trapped emails sent in the name of an ex-ecutive with Haier Biomedical a Chinese cold chain provider that specializes in vaccine transport
and biological sample storageHaier Medical did not return
messages seeking commentTargets included companies
involved in the manufacture of solar panels which are used to power vaccine refrigerators in warm countries and petrochemi-cal products that could be used to derive dry ice
Amazon eyes potential $100 million investment in Indiarsquos Apollo Pharmacy
BENGALURU - Amazoncom Inc is considering a nearly $100 million investment in In-diarsquos pharmacy chain Apollo Pharmacy facing up to Reliance Industries Ltd and Tata Group in the countryrsquos fast-growing drug market the Economic Times re-ported on Wednesday citing two people aware of the plans
Amazon already delivers med-icines in India and the potential investment would come amid rising competition from Muke-sh Ambanirsquos Reliance which bought a majority stake in online pharmacy Netmeds
Tata Group here meanwhile
was reportedly in talks to pick up a majority stake in e-pharma-cy fi rm 1mg
Both Amazon and Apollo Hospitals which owns Apollo Pharmacy declined to comment
The growth of e-pharmacies however has left many Indian trader groups feeling threatened who say online drugstores can contribute to medicine sales without proper verifi cation and the entry of large players can cause unemployment in the sector
Amazonrsquos plan to further ex-pand in India also comes close on the heels of its launch of an online pharmacy to deliver pre-scription drugs in the United States increasing competi-tion with drug retailers such as Walgreens CVS Health and Walmart

NEW YORK - Indiarsquos econ-omy will return to growth in 202122 after a sharp con-traction in the latest year and higher public spending will lay the foundation for stronger growth in the next four to five years Finance Minister Nirma-la Sitharaman told Reuters last Thursday
With the worldrsquos second high-est number of coronavirus cases despite a severe lockdown of its 13 billion people early in the pandemic Indiarsquos economy is expected to contract nearly 10 in the 202021 financial year
But a recovery is taking hold now Sitharaman told the Reuters Global Investment Outlook Summit 2021
ldquoI would think 2021-22 will be very big good traction year
Indiarsquos economy on the rebound govt focuses on spending Sitharamanfor achieving a really good rate of growth that itself is going to be a launching pad for 4-5 years of growing at a good speed pro-vided we do enough on the bud-get and spend on infrastructurerdquo she said She gave no numbers about how big a government spending increase she planned to propose
Because the Indian govern-ment was concerned about its budget deficit its stimulus to
fight the economic slump during the pandemic was more mod-est than those of other countries such as the United States Japan and the United Kingdom
Sitharaman suggested the government should spend more in the months ahead to boost the growth rate
ldquoI have to be conscious that if I donrsquot spend now then the stim-ulus is meaningless if I donrsquot spend now the revival is going to get deferred and we canrsquot afford thatrdquo
The pace of the recovery would however depend on de-
velopment and adequate sup-ply of coronavirus vaccines economists say
India does not yet have a vac-cine purchase contract with any company but has said it will rely mainly on five being tested in the country including the Oxford-AstraZeneca one and Russiarsquos Sputnik V
Sitharaman said the govern-ment was bulking up the logis-tics including sufficient cold storage facilities to ensure de-livery of the vaccine down to the village councils across the country
RBI holds rates says will ensure ample liquidityMUMBAI - The Reserve Bank
of India (RBI) kept its key interest rates steady as widely expected last Friday amid persistently high inflation but said it will ensure ample liquidity is provided to stressed sectors to keep a nascent economic recovery on track
Its monetary policy committee decided to retain an accommoda-tive policy stance at least for the current financial year and into the next to revive growth on a du-rable basis while ensuring that inflation remains within target Governor Shaktikanta Das said in an online briefing
Das said the economy was re-bounding faster than expected
from a coronavirus-induced slump earlier in the year but warned signs of recovery were far from being broad based CO-VID-19 infections are also con-tinuing to climb with the tally now 957 million people
Das said MPC members voted unanimously to hold rates and re-tain the stance The key lending rate of the RBI or the repo rate was left unchanged at 4 while the reverse repo rate or the key borrowing rate stayed at 335
ldquoThe MPC is of the view that inflation is likely to remain el-evated barring transient relief in the winter months from prices of perishablesrdquo Das said
ldquoThis constrains monetary pol-icy at the current juncture from using the space available to act in support of growthrdquo
Indian stocks extended earlier gains to hit record highs after the decision while the Indian rupee strengthened slightly to 7376 against the dollar The bench-mark 10-year bond yield fell 3 basis points to 590
Das announced measures to help improve access to funding for stressed sectors and said the RBI will take further steps when necessary to ensure ample rupee liquidity to sustain visible growth impulses without impacting inflation

Telemarketing fraudster pleads guiltyPROVIDENCE RI - An Indian
national last week admitted to a federal judge in Providence that he participated in a wide-ranging conspiracy based in India to de-fraud United States citizens pri-marily seniors by telling victims that malware had been detected on their computers and based on that falsehood induced the vic-tims to direct money to him and his co-conspirators as payment for purported computer protection services that were not needed or ever provided
The conspirators in fact did not detect malware on victimsrsquo computers and accepted payment without providing any protection services
Himanshu Asri 33 of Delhi In-dia admitted that he had 325 call-ers routed to call centers in India where call center operators falsely reasserted to victims that malware had been detected on their com-puters and offered the victims purported computer protection services in exchange for payment The purpose of the false assertions was to induce people into routing money to the fraudsters
According to information pre-sented to the court from as far back as January 2015 through January 2020 Asri and others working together collected in
total approximately $940995 from victims through their fraud and attempted to collect between $1500000 and $3000000 The actual loss was less than the in-tended loss because some of those who were targeted by Asri and his coconspirators did not send any funds to the fraudsters
According to information pre-sented to the court the govern-ment and the defendant agree that many of Asrirsquos victims were vulnerable to fraud schemes due to age or infirmity and the parties agree that the scheme pursued by Asri and his coconspirators were structured to exploit such persons specifically persons over the age of 65
Appearing last week before
US District Court Chief Judge John J McConnell Jr Asri pleaded guilty to wire fraud con-spiracy announced United States Attorney Aaron L Weisman and Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Boston Division Joseph R Bonavolonta
Asri the 4th India-based tele-marketing fraudster to be convict-ed in federal court in Rhode Island in the past three months is sched-uled to be sentenced on February 18 2021 Wire fraud conspiracy is punishable by statutory penalties of up to 20 years in prison three years of supervised release and a fine of $250000
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant US Attorney Milind M Shah

Street at approximately 245 am Detectives saw Patel get out of his vehicle and pour a liquid on a parked vehicle

Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine data wins backing of FDA authorization nears
By Manas Mishra Michael Erman and Rebecca Spalding
Pfi zer Inc cleared the next hurdle in the race to get its COVID-19 vaccine ap-proved for emergency use on Tuesday after the US Food and Drug Administra-tion (FDA) released documents that raised no new issues about its safety or effi cacy
Pfi zer and German partner BioNTech SE said last month their coronavirus vac-cinersquos two-dose regimen was 95 eff ec-tive against COVID-19 and had no ma-jor safety issues and asked the FDA for emergency use authorization
The vaccinersquos effi cacy and safety data met its expectations for emergency use authorization FDA staff said in docu-ments released ahead of a Thursday meet-ing of outside experts to the FDA who will discuss whether to recommend the Pfi zer
shot for people aged 16 and olderJeff eries analyst Michael Yee said in
research note the documents were ldquovery simple and straightforward which we think will lead to approval imminentlyrdquo
The agency typically follows the rec-ommendations of its advisory panels but is not required to do so It is not clear how many days or weeks the FDA will take to make a decision but states are prepping for vaccine deliveries in mid-December
The documents were released on the day Britons began getting the Pfi zerBi-oNTech vaccine the worldrsquos fi rst recipi-ents outside of clinical trials
ldquoThere are no surprises here The ef-fi cacy and the safety is consistent with what we heard and what we hoped for It does look like the vaccine is safe at least in the short termrdquo said Dr Daniel Culver chair of Pulmonary Medicine at Cleveland Clinic in an interview He said the data showing it was as eff ective in older people as in younger people was reassuring
Pfi zer shares rose nearly 2 and BioN-Techrsquos US shares were up 25 in early trading
Pfi zer Chief Executive Albert Bourla said on Tuesday he expects a ldquovery in-tenserdquo meeting with a US vaccine advi-sory panel this week but is counting on the panel of outside experts to sign off on his companyrsquos COVID-19 vaccine candi-date
ldquoI think they will vote lsquoyesrsquo given the strength of the datardquo Bourla said at a
conference hosted by a pharmaceutical industry group
PROTECTION AFTER ONE SHOTData from the trial showed that the vac-
cine began conferring some protection to recipients even before they received the sec-ond shot the FDA said The eff ect became most pronounced about 14 days after people received the fi rst shot
The agencyrsquos staff noted that more data would be needed to assess the potential of a single-dose shot It said that the effi cacy after dose 1 and before dose 2 was around 52 percent
A two-dose vaccination was highly eff ec-tive in preventing confi rmed cases of COV-ID-19 at least seven days after the last dose FDA staff said
The FDA staff also said that available data while limited suggested the people who had been previously infected with the new coronavirus could benefi t from vac-
cination Very few cases of confi rmed CO-VID-19 occurred among participants with evidence of infection prior to vaccination though more of those that did were in the placebo group than the vaccine group the staff said
FDA staff also said that the trial which was designed to look at eff ectiveness against COVID-19 did not produce data to answer the question of if it also stopped infection
In terms of safety the FDA staff said there was currently insuffi cient data to make conclusions about the safety of the vaccine in people below 16 years of age pregnant women and those with compromised immune systems
There were a total of six deaths in the 44000 person trial with two deaths among those who got the vaccine and the rest in those who received a placebo the docu-ments showed All deaths represent events that occur in the general population at a similar rate FDA staff said

NEW YORK - Companies and industry groups lobbying to get their US workers to the front of the line for COVID vaccination are running into a patchwork of state plans and confusion over who is essential and who is not
Inoculation against the disease caused by the novel coronavirus is key to safely reopening large parts of the economy and reduc-ing the risks of illness at crowd-ed meatpacking plants factories and warehouses
But before one needle has en-tered the arm of an American
worker confusion has broken out over who exactly is consid-ered essential during a pandemic
With initial vaccine doses limited and strong federal guid-ance lacking it has fallen to US states to determine who will be first in line to receive a vaccine and who will have to wait well into next year
State vaccine distribution plans reviewed by Reuters showed broad discrepancies over who would be considered essential with some states clearly outlin-ing specific worker groups and
others not providing any clarityGenerally states have broad
discretion when it comes to vac-cine distribution and policy and are able to issue vaccination mandates for their residents
Many states have so far fol-lowed federal guidance to give meat and food processing indus-try workers space in the line but some are slowly moving away said Mark Lauritsen a former hog slaughter worker who now advocates on behalf of about
250000 meatpacking and food processing workers under the United Food and Commercial Workers union
ldquoFor example Colorado has not moved meatpacking and meat-processing as high as some other states So wersquoll be directing a lot of our effort towards places like Colorado where we may be moved down the food chainrdquo
ldquoWersquore a union that has mem-bers in every state so we will be talking to every state to make
our case as to where our place in line should beEverybody is go-ing to be jockeying for a place in linerdquo
More than 20 large industries have urged officials to prioritize their workers including individ-ual companies such as ride-hail-ing company Uber Technologies Inc and food delivery provider DoorDash Inc and industry groups representing truck driv-ers teachers retail workers and other business sectors
As US companies push to get workers vaccinated states disagree on whorsquos essential

California becomes biggest US stateto launch virus contact-tracing app
OAKLAND - California on Monday announced an app to help people track their exposure to the coronavirus becoming the big-gest US state to take advantage of new technology from smart-phone software makers Apple Inc and Alphabet Incrsquos Google
Beginning on Thursday people in California can activate the ex-posure notifications tool from the settings menu on iPhones or by downloading the CA Notify App in the Google Play store on Android devices
The apps enable Bluetooth sig-nals between devices to determine
when they are in close proximity and the apps then anonymously alert users when a recent contact later tests positive At least 6 mil-lion people in the United States have tried the system in recent months across the 21 states and two territories that made apps available before California Colo-rado and New York are among other states with apps
Public health experts say adop-tion has lagged because of tech-nical shortcomings in the earliest apps privacy concerns and dis-missive attitudes toward taking precautions to avoid the virus
But California officials hope the app will be adopted quickly in a state that is home to many tech workers
The statersquos two most densely inhabited regions and its agri-cultural breadbasket went under stay-at-home orders in the last couple of days as the pandem-ic strains hospitals in the most populous US state
CA Notify had been tested on state university campuses since September The University of California San Diego will contin-ue to oversee the system and staff a user support phone hotline

India can bank on match-winner Pandya for next five years Kohli
SYDNEY - India captain Vi-rat Kohli has identified Har-dik Pandya as their ldquobankablerdquo match-winner for the next four to five years after the all-rounder dazzled in their series-clinching Twenty20 Interna-tional victory over Australia on Sunday
India needed 25 runs off the last two overs and Pandya deliv-ered in style smashing two sixes in the final over to secure a six-wicket victory with two balls to spare
ldquoHe has natural raw talent and now hersquos quite experienced having played quite a bit of T20 cricket in the IPL (Indian Pre-mier League) and playing for In-dia toordquo Kohli said after Indiarsquos second successive win in the three-match series
ldquoNow he realises that this is his time the next four-five years to become that bankable middle-order player that can win you games from anywhere
ldquoYou need that finisher and hersquos becoming that for us Hersquos
hungry hersquos got to keep getting betterrdquo
Pandya whose 42 not out off 22 balls earned him the Man of the Match award showed no signs of nerves even as the ask-ing run rate spiralled
ldquoI always believe as a cricket-er you have to improve with time
and I have taken some time but I think things are coming pretty well nowrdquo said the 27-year- old
ldquoNow my biggest goal (is) that I want to finish games where it matters the mostrdquo
Pandya said he was happy to bat wherever the team need him
ldquoIf time comes when I have to bat number four I donrsquot mindrdquo he added ldquoIf time comes where I have to finish the game I have to do that job as well whatever the team requiresrdquo
Tuesdayrsquos final Twenty20 match will also be played at the Sydney Cricket Ground

Rahane gets century boost ahead of key test role in Australia
SYDNEY - Indiarsquos Ajinkya Ra-hane crafted an unbeaten century in a warm-up match on Sunday to give himself a timely boost ahead of his major responsibility in the four-test series against Australia beginning later this month
With regular skipper Virat Kohli set to return home after the opening test in Adelaide to attend the birth of his first child Rahane will be in charge in the final three matches in Australia
The right-handed batsman made 108 not out to help the tour-ists overcome a top order wobble and reach 237-8 on day one of the three-day match against Australia A at Drummoyne Oval
Rahane hit 16 boundaries and a six an upper cut against James
Pattinson to reach the half-centu-ry mark
Number three Cheteshwar Pu-jara who was awarded man-of-
the-series when India won their maiden test series in Australia two seasons ago also spent qual-ity time in the middle and scored 54
While Rahane played in the recent Indian Premier League (IPL) in the United Arab Emir-ates this was Pujararsquos first com-petitive outing since a domestic Ranji Trophy match in early March
Pujara lasted 140 balls before falling to Pattinson who claimed 3-58 to signal his own prepared-ness for the test series
It was a mixed outing for the tourists as three of their top six batsmen including openers Prithvi Shaw and Shubman Gill fell for ducks

IndiGo to reach normal domestic

expects to reach 80 of usual do-mestic capacity by the end of the month but international capacity is running at just a fi fth of normal levels because of the pandemic its chief executive said
The airline hopes to reach 100 of normal domestic capacity by early next year and 100 of its usual international capacity by the end of 2021 Chief Executive Ronojoy Dutta said
The low-cost airline owned by Interglobe Aviation Ltd re-ported last month a loss of 1195 billion rupees ($16245 million) in the second quarter ended Sept 30 as pandemic curbs dented its operations
IndiGo said at the time it ex-pected third-quarter capacity to be around 60 of period a year earlier But the Indian government soon after lifted its domestic ca-pacity cap to 70 and again last week to 80

WASHINGTON - IBM and US offi cials are sounding the alarm over hackers targeting companies critical to the distribu-tion of COVID-19 vaccines
IBM said last Thursday that the campaign was a sign that digital spies are turning their attention to the complex logistical work in-volved in inoculating the worldrsquos population against the novel coronavirus although some out-side experts questioned whether that was the hackersrsquo focus
In a blog post here published last Thursday IBM said it had uncovered ldquoa global phishing campaignrdquo focused on organi-zations associated with the CO-VID-19 vaccine ldquocold chainrdquo - the process needed to keep vaccine doses at extremely cold temperatures as they travel from manufacturers to peoplersquos arms
The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency reposted the report warning here members of Operation Warp Speed - the US governmentrsquos
national vaccine mission - to be on the lookout
Other cybsecurity experts expressed some skepticism however of IBMrsquos fi ndings
Joe Slowik a researcher at on-line threat intelligence fi rm Do-mainTools said he believed IBM had stumbled upon ldquoa subset of activityrdquo that was part of a much wider campaign ldquowhich may not be focused on vaccines or similar activityrdquo
While ldquodefi nitely maliciousrdquo Slowik said he was not convinced it was specifi cally focused on vaccine distribution
Who is behind the espionage is not clear Messages sent to the email addresses used by the hackers were not returned
Understanding how to build a secure cold chain is fundamental to distributing vaccines devel-oped by the likes of Pfi zer Inc and BioNTech because the shots need to be stored at minus 70 de-grees Celsius (-94 F) or below to avoid spoiling
Hackers target groups in COVID-19 vaccine distribution says IBM
IBMrsquos cybersecurity unit said it had detected an advanced group of hackers working to gather in-formation about diff erent aspects of the cold chain using meticu-lously crafted booby-trapped emails sent in the name of an ex-ecutive with Haier Biomedical a Chinese cold chain provider that specializes in vaccine transport
and biological sample storageHaier Medical did not return
messages seeking commentTargets included companies
involved in the manufacture of solar panels which are used to power vaccine refrigerators in warm countries and petrochemi-cal products that could be used to derive dry ice
Amazon eyes potential $100 million investment in Indiarsquos Apollo Pharmacy
BENGALURU - Amazoncom Inc is considering a nearly $100 million investment in In-diarsquos pharmacy chain Apollo Pharmacy facing up to Reliance Industries Ltd and Tata Group in the countryrsquos fast-growing drug market the Economic Times re-ported on Wednesday citing two people aware of the plans
Amazon already delivers med-icines in India and the potential investment would come amid rising competition from Muke-sh Ambanirsquos Reliance which bought a majority stake in online pharmacy Netmeds
Tata Group here meanwhile
was reportedly in talks to pick up a majority stake in e-pharma-cy fi rm 1mg
Both Amazon and Apollo Hospitals which owns Apollo Pharmacy declined to comment
The growth of e-pharmacies however has left many Indian trader groups feeling threatened who say online drugstores can contribute to medicine sales without proper verifi cation and the entry of large players can cause unemployment in the sector
Amazonrsquos plan to further ex-pand in India also comes close on the heels of its launch of an online pharmacy to deliver pre-scription drugs in the United States increasing competi-tion with drug retailers such as Walgreens CVS Health and Walmart
Amazong seeks investment in India in Pharmaceutical sector

NEW YORK - Indiarsquos econ-omy will return to growth in 202122 after a sharp con-traction in the latest year and higher public spending will lay the foundation for stronger growth in the next four to five years Finance Minister Nirma-la Sitharaman told Reuters last Thursday
With the worldrsquos second high-est number of coronavirus cases despite a severe lockdown of its 13 billion people early in the pandemic Indiarsquos economy is expected to contract nearly 10 in the 202021 financial year
But a recovery is taking hold now Sitharaman told the Reuters Global Investment Outlook Summit 2021
ldquoI would think 2021-22 will be very big good traction year
Indiarsquos economy on the rebound govt focuses on spending Sitharamanfor achieving a really good rate of growth that itself is going to be a launching pad for 4-5 years of growing at a good speed pro-vided we do enough on the bud-get and spend on infrastructurerdquo she said She gave no numbers about how big a government spending increase she planned to propose
Because the Indian govern-ment was concerned about its budget deficit its stimulus to
fight the economic slump during the pandemic was more mod-est than those of other countries such as the United States Japan and the United Kingdom
Sitharaman suggested the government should spend more in the months ahead to boost the growth rate
ldquoI have to be conscious that if I donrsquot spend now then the stim-ulus is meaningless if I donrsquot spend now the revival is going to get deferred and we canrsquot afford thatrdquo
The pace of the recovery would however depend on de-
velopment and adequate sup-ply of coronavirus vaccines economists say
India does not yet have a vac-cine purchase contract with any company but has said it will rely mainly on five being tested in the country including the Oxford-AstraZeneca one and Russiarsquos Sputnik V
Sitharaman said the govern-ment was bulking up the logis-tics including sufficient cold storage facilities to ensure de-livery of the vaccine down to the village councils across the country
RBI holds rates says will ensure ample liquidityMUMBAI - The Reserve Bank
of India (RBI) kept its key interest rates steady as widely expected last Friday amid persistently high inflation but said it will ensure ample liquidity is provided to stressed sectors to keep a nascent economic recovery on track
Its monetary policy committee decided to retain an accommoda-tive policy stance at least for the current financial year and into the next to revive growth on a du-rable basis while ensuring that inflation remains within target Governor Shaktikanta Das said in an online briefing
Das said the economy was re-bounding faster than expected
from a coronavirus-induced slump earlier in the year but warned signs of recovery were far from being broad based CO-VID-19 infections are also con-tinuing to climb with the tally now 957 million people
Das said MPC members voted unanimously to hold rates and re-tain the stance The key lending rate of the RBI or the repo rate was left unchanged at 4 while the reverse repo rate or the key borrowing rate stayed at 335
ldquoThe MPC is of the view that inflation is likely to remain el-evated barring transient relief in the winter months from prices of perishablesrdquo Das said
ldquoThis constrains monetary pol-icy at the current juncture from using the space available to act in support of growthrdquo
Indian stocks extended earlier gains to hit record highs after the decision while the Indian rupee strengthened slightly to 7376 against the dollar The bench-mark 10-year bond yield fell 3 basis points to 590
Das announced measures to help improve access to funding for stressed sectors and said the RBI will take further steps when necessary to ensure ample rupee liquidity to sustain visible growth impulses without impacting inflation

Telemarketing fraudster pleads guiltyPROVIDENCE RI - An Indian
national last week admitted to a federal judge in Providence that he participated in a wide-ranging conspiracy based in India to de-fraud United States citizens pri-marily seniors by telling victims that malware had been detected on their computers and based on that falsehood induced the vic-tims to direct money to him and his co-conspirators as payment for purported computer protection services that were not needed or ever provided
The conspirators in fact did not detect malware on victimsrsquo computers and accepted payment without providing any protection services
Himanshu Asri 33 of Delhi In-dia admitted that he had 325 call-ers routed to call centers in India where call center operators falsely reasserted to victims that malware had been detected on their com-puters and offered the victims purported computer protection services in exchange for payment The purpose of the false assertions was to induce people into routing money to the fraudsters
According to information pre-sented to the court from as far back as January 2015 through January 2020 Asri and others working together collected in
total approximately $940995 from victims through their fraud and attempted to collect between $1500000 and $3000000 The actual loss was less than the in-tended loss because some of those who were targeted by Asri and his coconspirators did not send any funds to the fraudsters
According to information pre-sented to the court the govern-ment and the defendant agree that many of Asrirsquos victims were vulnerable to fraud schemes due to age or infirmity and the parties agree that the scheme pursued by Asri and his coconspirators were structured to exploit such persons specifically persons over the age of 65
Appearing last week before
US District Court Chief Judge John J McConnell Jr Asri pleaded guilty to wire fraud con-spiracy announced United States Attorney Aaron L Weisman and Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Boston Division Joseph R Bonavolonta
Asri the 4th India-based tele-marketing fraudster to be convict-ed in federal court in Rhode Island in the past three months is sched-uled to be sentenced on February 18 2021 Wire fraud conspiracy is punishable by statutory penalties of up to 20 years in prison three years of supervised release and a fine of $250000
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant US Attorney Milind M Shah

California serial arson suspect arrested after garage doors car set on fire
FREMONT CA - Police in Fremont on Tuesday morning ar-rested a serial arson suspect who allegedly tried to light the ga-rage doors of multiple residenc-es on fire after he ignited a car according to authorities
Detectives arrested 44-year-old Fremont resident Roshan Patel after a series of four garage door fires over the past week De-tectives conducted surveillance on Patel and observed him set a vehicle on fire early this morn-ing He was arrested as he ran back to his vehicle
According to a news release undercover detectives were con-
ducting surveillance for Patel who was suspected of being in-volved in at least four residen-tial garage door fires that had happened since December 1st
Fremont officers located pri-vate residential camera footage that provided a general descrip-tion of the suspect vehicle De-tectives then matched that foot-age to the Community Camera network which then provided a license plate for the suspect ve-hicle
Detectives were surveilling Patel early Tuesday morning when he led them to the same house he had targeted on Hoyt
Street at approximately 245 am Detectives saw Patel get out of his vehicle and pour a liquid on a parked vehicle
Police detectives tried to con-tact Patel before he could ignite the vehicle but he was able to set the vehicle on fire Authorities were able to arrest the suspect as he ran back to his vehicle and extinguished the car fire with a nearby garden hose
Patel was arrested on arson charges and booked at the Fre-mont City Jail Detectives de-termined that Patel knew at least one of the residents that he had targeted in his arson attacks

Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine data wins backing of FDA authorization nears
By Manas Mishra Michael Erman and Rebecca Spalding
Pfi zer Inc cleared the next hurdle in the race to get its COVID-19 vaccine ap-proved for emergency use on Tuesday after the US Food and Drug Administra-tion (FDA) released documents that raised no new issues about its safety or effi cacy
Pfi zer and German partner BioNTech SE said last month their coronavirus vac-cinersquos two-dose regimen was 95 eff ec-tive against COVID-19 and had no ma-jor safety issues and asked the FDA for emergency use authorization
The vaccinersquos effi cacy and safety data met its expectations for emergency use authorization FDA staff said in docu-ments released ahead of a Thursday meet-ing of outside experts to the FDA who will discuss whether to recommend the Pfi zer
shot for people aged 16 and olderJeff eries analyst Michael Yee said in
research note the documents were ldquovery simple and straightforward which we think will lead to approval imminentlyrdquo
The agency typically follows the rec-ommendations of its advisory panels but is not required to do so It is not clear how many days or weeks the FDA will take to make a decision but states are prepping for vaccine deliveries in mid-December
The documents were released on the day Britons began getting the Pfi zerBi-oNTech vaccine the worldrsquos fi rst recipi-ents outside of clinical trials
ldquoThere are no surprises here The ef-fi cacy and the safety is consistent with what we heard and what we hoped for It does look like the vaccine is safe at least in the short termrdquo said Dr Daniel Culver chair of Pulmonary Medicine at Cleveland Clinic in an interview He said the data showing it was as eff ective in older people as in younger people was reassuring
Pfi zer shares rose nearly 2 and BioN-Techrsquos US shares were up 25 in early trading
Pfi zer Chief Executive Albert Bourla said on Tuesday he expects a ldquovery in-tenserdquo meeting with a US vaccine advi-sory panel this week but is counting on the panel of outside experts to sign off on his companyrsquos COVID-19 vaccine candi-date
ldquoI think they will vote lsquoyesrsquo given the strength of the datardquo Bourla said at a
conference hosted by a pharmaceutical industry group
PROTECTION AFTER ONE SHOTData from the trial showed that the vac-
cine began conferring some protection to recipients even before they received the sec-ond shot the FDA said The eff ect became most pronounced about 14 days after people received the fi rst shot
The agencyrsquos staff noted that more data would be needed to assess the potential of a single-dose shot It said that the effi cacy after dose 1 and before dose 2 was around 52 percent
A two-dose vaccination was highly eff ec-tive in preventing confi rmed cases of COV-ID-19 at least seven days after the last dose FDA staff said
The FDA staff also said that available data while limited suggested the people who had been previously infected with the new coronavirus could benefi t from vac-
cination Very few cases of confi rmed CO-VID-19 occurred among participants with evidence of infection prior to vaccination though more of those that did were in the placebo group than the vaccine group the staff said
FDA staff also said that the trial which was designed to look at eff ectiveness against COVID-19 did not produce data to answer the question of if it also stopped infection
In terms of safety the FDA staff said there was currently insuffi cient data to make conclusions about the safety of the vaccine in people below 16 years of age pregnant women and those with compromised immune systems
There were a total of six deaths in the 44000 person trial with two deaths among those who got the vaccine and the rest in those who received a placebo the docu-ments showed All deaths represent events that occur in the general population at a similar rate FDA staff said

NEW YORK - Companies and industry groups lobbying to get their US workers to the front of the line for COVID vaccination are running into a patchwork of state plans and confusion over who is essential and who is not
Inoculation against the disease caused by the novel coronavirus is key to safely reopening large parts of the economy and reduc-ing the risks of illness at crowd-ed meatpacking plants factories and warehouses
But before one needle has en-tered the arm of an American
worker confusion has broken out over who exactly is consid-ered essential during a pandemic
With initial vaccine doses limited and strong federal guid-ance lacking it has fallen to US states to determine who will be first in line to receive a vaccine and who will have to wait well into next year
State vaccine distribution plans reviewed by Reuters showed broad discrepancies over who would be considered essential with some states clearly outlin-ing specific worker groups and
others not providing any clarityGenerally states have broad
discretion when it comes to vac-cine distribution and policy and are able to issue vaccination mandates for their residents
Many states have so far fol-lowed federal guidance to give meat and food processing indus-try workers space in the line but some are slowly moving away said Mark Lauritsen a former hog slaughter worker who now advocates on behalf of about
250000 meatpacking and food processing workers under the United Food and Commercial Workers union
ldquoFor example Colorado has not moved meatpacking and meat-processing as high as some other states So wersquoll be directing a lot of our effort towards places like Colorado where we may be moved down the food chainrdquo
ldquoWersquore a union that has mem-bers in every state so we will be talking to every state to make
our case as to where our place in line should beEverybody is go-ing to be jockeying for a place in linerdquo
More than 20 large industries have urged officials to prioritize their workers including individ-ual companies such as ride-hail-ing company Uber Technologies Inc and food delivery provider DoorDash Inc and industry groups representing truck driv-ers teachers retail workers and other business sectors
As US companies push to get workers vaccinated states disagree on whorsquos essential

California becomes biggest US stateto launch virus contact-tracing app
OAKLAND - California on Monday announced an app to help people track their exposure to the coronavirus becoming the big-gest US state to take advantage of new technology from smart-phone software makers Apple Inc and Alphabet Incrsquos Google
Beginning on Thursday people in California can activate the ex-posure notifications tool from the settings menu on iPhones or by downloading the CA Notify App in the Google Play store on Android devices
The apps enable Bluetooth sig-nals between devices to determine
when they are in close proximity and the apps then anonymously alert users when a recent contact later tests positive At least 6 mil-lion people in the United States have tried the system in recent months across the 21 states and two territories that made apps available before California Colo-rado and New York are among other states with apps
Public health experts say adop-tion has lagged because of tech-nical shortcomings in the earliest apps privacy concerns and dis-missive attitudes toward taking precautions to avoid the virus
But California officials hope the app will be adopted quickly in a state that is home to many tech workers
The statersquos two most densely inhabited regions and its agri-cultural breadbasket went under stay-at-home orders in the last couple of days as the pandem-ic strains hospitals in the most populous US state
CA Notify had been tested on state university campuses since September The University of California San Diego will contin-ue to oversee the system and staff a user support phone hotline

India can bank on match-winner Pandya for next five years Kohli
SYDNEY - India captain Vi-rat Kohli has identified Har-dik Pandya as their ldquobankablerdquo match-winner for the next four to five years after the all-rounder dazzled in their series-clinching Twenty20 Interna-tional victory over Australia on Sunday
India needed 25 runs off the last two overs and Pandya deliv-ered in style smashing two sixes in the final over to secure a six-wicket victory with two balls to spare
ldquoHe has natural raw talent and now hersquos quite experienced having played quite a bit of T20 cricket in the IPL (Indian Pre-mier League) and playing for In-dia toordquo Kohli said after Indiarsquos second successive win in the three-match series
ldquoNow he realises that this is his time the next four-five years to become that bankable middle-order player that can win you games from anywhere
ldquoYou need that finisher and hersquos becoming that for us Hersquos
hungry hersquos got to keep getting betterrdquo
Pandya whose 42 not out off 22 balls earned him the Man of the Match award showed no signs of nerves even as the ask-ing run rate spiralled
ldquoI always believe as a cricket-er you have to improve with time
and I have taken some time but I think things are coming pretty well nowrdquo said the 27-year- old
ldquoNow my biggest goal (is) that I want to finish games where it matters the mostrdquo
Pandya said he was happy to bat wherever the team need him
ldquoIf time comes when I have to bat number four I donrsquot mindrdquo he added ldquoIf time comes where I have to finish the game I have to do that job as well whatever the team requiresrdquo
Tuesdayrsquos final Twenty20 match will also be played at the Sydney Cricket Ground

Rahane gets century boost ahead of key test role in Australia
SYDNEY - Indiarsquos Ajinkya Ra-hane crafted an unbeaten century in a warm-up match on Sunday to give himself a timely boost ahead of his major responsibility in the four-test series against Australia beginning later this month
With regular skipper Virat Kohli set to return home after the opening test in Adelaide to attend the birth of his first child Rahane will be in charge in the final three matches in Australia
The right-handed batsman made 108 not out to help the tour-ists overcome a top order wobble and reach 237-8 on day one of the three-day match against Australia A at Drummoyne Oval
Rahane hit 16 boundaries and a six an upper cut against James
Pattinson to reach the half-centu-ry mark
Number three Cheteshwar Pu-jara who was awarded man-of-
the-series when India won their maiden test series in Australia two seasons ago also spent qual-ity time in the middle and scored 54
While Rahane played in the recent Indian Premier League (IPL) in the United Arab Emir-ates this was Pujararsquos first com-petitive outing since a domestic Ranji Trophy match in early March
Pujara lasted 140 balls before falling to Pattinson who claimed 3-58 to signal his own prepared-ness for the test series
It was a mixed outing for the tourists as three of their top six batsmen including openers Prithvi Shaw and Shubman Gill fell for ducks

NEW YORK - Indiarsquos econ-omy will return to growth in 202122 after a sharp con-traction in the latest year and higher public spending will lay the foundation for stronger growth in the next four to five years Finance Minister Nirma-la Sitharaman told Reuters last Thursday
With the worldrsquos second high-est number of coronavirus cases despite a severe lockdown of its 13 billion people early in the pandemic Indiarsquos economy is expected to contract nearly 10 in the 202021 financial year
But a recovery is taking hold now Sitharaman told the Reuters Global Investment Outlook Summit 2021
ldquoI would think 2021-22 will be very big good traction year
Indiarsquos economy on the rebound govt focuses on spending Sitharamanfor achieving a really good rate of growth that itself is going to be a launching pad for 4-5 years of growing at a good speed pro-vided we do enough on the bud-get and spend on infrastructurerdquo she said She gave no numbers about how big a government spending increase she planned to propose
Because the Indian govern-ment was concerned about its budget deficit its stimulus to
fight the economic slump during the pandemic was more mod-est than those of other countries such as the United States Japan and the United Kingdom
Sitharaman suggested the government should spend more in the months ahead to boost the growth rate
ldquoI have to be conscious that if I donrsquot spend now then the stim-ulus is meaningless if I donrsquot spend now the revival is going to get deferred and we canrsquot afford thatrdquo
The pace of the recovery would however depend on de-
velopment and adequate sup-ply of coronavirus vaccines economists say
India does not yet have a vac-cine purchase contract with any company but has said it will rely mainly on five being tested in the country including the Oxford-AstraZeneca one and Russiarsquos Sputnik V
Sitharaman said the govern-ment was bulking up the logis-tics including sufficient cold storage facilities to ensure de-livery of the vaccine down to the village councils across the country
RBI holds rates says will ensure ample liquidityMUMBAI - The Reserve Bank
of India (RBI) kept its key interest rates steady as widely expected last Friday amid persistently high inflation but said it will ensure ample liquidity is provided to stressed sectors to keep a nascent economic recovery on track
Its monetary policy committee decided to retain an accommoda-tive policy stance at least for the current financial year and into the next to revive growth on a du-rable basis while ensuring that inflation remains within target Governor Shaktikanta Das said in an online briefing
Das said the economy was re-bounding faster than expected
from a coronavirus-induced slump earlier in the year but warned signs of recovery were far from being broad based CO-VID-19 infections are also con-tinuing to climb with the tally now 957 million people
Das said MPC members voted unanimously to hold rates and re-tain the stance The key lending rate of the RBI or the repo rate was left unchanged at 4 while the reverse repo rate or the key borrowing rate stayed at 335
ldquoThe MPC is of the view that inflation is likely to remain el-evated barring transient relief in the winter months from prices of perishablesrdquo Das said
ldquoThis constrains monetary pol-icy at the current juncture from using the space available to act in support of growthrdquo
Indian stocks extended earlier gains to hit record highs after the decision while the Indian rupee strengthened slightly to 7376 against the dollar The bench-mark 10-year bond yield fell 3 basis points to 590
Das announced measures to help improve access to funding for stressed sectors and said the RBI will take further steps when necessary to ensure ample rupee liquidity to sustain visible growth impulses without impacting inflation

Telemarketing fraudster pleads guiltyPROVIDENCE RI - An Indian
national last week admitted to a federal judge in Providence that he participated in a wide-ranging conspiracy based in India to de-fraud United States citizens pri-marily seniors by telling victims that malware had been detected on their computers and based on that falsehood induced the vic-tims to direct money to him and his co-conspirators as payment for purported computer protection services that were not needed or ever provided
The conspirators in fact did not detect malware on victimsrsquo computers and accepted payment without providing any protection services
Himanshu Asri 33 of Delhi In-dia admitted that he had 325 call-ers routed to call centers in India where call center operators falsely reasserted to victims that malware had been detected on their com-puters and offered the victims purported computer protection services in exchange for payment The purpose of the false assertions was to induce people into routing money to the fraudsters
According to information pre-sented to the court from as far back as January 2015 through January 2020 Asri and others working together collected in
total approximately $940995 from victims through their fraud and attempted to collect between $1500000 and $3000000 The actual loss was less than the in-tended loss because some of those who were targeted by Asri and his coconspirators did not send any funds to the fraudsters
According to information pre-sented to the court the govern-ment and the defendant agree that many of Asrirsquos victims were vulnerable to fraud schemes due to age or infirmity and the parties agree that the scheme pursued by Asri and his coconspirators were structured to exploit such persons specifically persons over the age of 65
Appearing last week before
US District Court Chief Judge John J McConnell Jr Asri pleaded guilty to wire fraud con-spiracy announced United States Attorney Aaron L Weisman and Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Boston Division Joseph R Bonavolonta
Asri the 4th India-based tele-marketing fraudster to be convict-ed in federal court in Rhode Island in the past three months is sched-uled to be sentenced on February 18 2021 Wire fraud conspiracy is punishable by statutory penalties of up to 20 years in prison three years of supervised release and a fine of $250000
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant US Attorney Milind M Shah

Detectives were surveilling Patel early Tuesday morning when he led them to the same house he had targeted on Hoyt
Street at approximately 245 am Detectives saw Patel get out of his vehicle and pour a liquid on a parked vehicle
Police detectives tried to con-tact Patel before he could ignite the vehicle but he was able to set the vehicle on fire Authorities were able to arrest the suspect as he ran back to his vehicle and extinguished the car fire with a nearby garden hose

Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine data wins backing of FDA authorization nears
By Manas Mishra Michael Erman and Rebecca Spalding
Pfi zer Inc cleared the next hurdle in the race to get its COVID-19 vaccine ap-proved for emergency use on Tuesday after the US Food and Drug Administra-tion (FDA) released documents that raised no new issues about its safety or effi cacy
Pfi zer and German partner BioNTech SE said last month their coronavirus vac-cinersquos two-dose regimen was 95 eff ec-tive against COVID-19 and had no ma-jor safety issues and asked the FDA for emergency use authorization
The vaccinersquos effi cacy and safety data met its expectations for emergency use authorization FDA staff said in docu-ments released ahead of a Thursday meet-ing of outside experts to the FDA who will discuss whether to recommend the Pfi zer
shot for people aged 16 and olderJeff eries analyst Michael Yee said in
research note the documents were ldquovery simple and straightforward which we think will lead to approval imminentlyrdquo
The agency typically follows the rec-ommendations of its advisory panels but is not required to do so It is not clear how many days or weeks the FDA will take to make a decision but states are prepping for vaccine deliveries in mid-December
The documents were released on the day Britons began getting the Pfi zerBi-oNTech vaccine the worldrsquos fi rst recipi-ents outside of clinical trials
ldquoThere are no surprises here The ef-fi cacy and the safety is consistent with what we heard and what we hoped for It does look like the vaccine is safe at least in the short termrdquo said Dr Daniel Culver chair of Pulmonary Medicine at Cleveland Clinic in an interview He said the data showing it was as eff ective in older people as in younger people was reassuring
Pfi zer shares rose nearly 2 and BioN-Techrsquos US shares were up 25 in early trading
Pfi zer Chief Executive Albert Bourla said on Tuesday he expects a ldquovery in-tenserdquo meeting with a US vaccine advi-sory panel this week but is counting on the panel of outside experts to sign off on his companyrsquos COVID-19 vaccine candi-date
ldquoI think they will vote lsquoyesrsquo given the strength of the datardquo Bourla said at a
conference hosted by a pharmaceutical industry group
PROTECTION AFTER ONE SHOTData from the trial showed that the vac-
cine began conferring some protection to recipients even before they received the sec-ond shot the FDA said The eff ect became most pronounced about 14 days after people received the fi rst shot
The agencyrsquos staff noted that more data would be needed to assess the potential of a single-dose shot It said that the effi cacy after dose 1 and before dose 2 was around 52 percent
A two-dose vaccination was highly eff ec-tive in preventing confi rmed cases of COV-ID-19 at least seven days after the last dose FDA staff said
The FDA staff also said that available data while limited suggested the people who had been previously infected with the new coronavirus could benefi t from vac-
cination Very few cases of confi rmed CO-VID-19 occurred among participants with evidence of infection prior to vaccination though more of those that did were in the placebo group than the vaccine group the staff said
FDA staff also said that the trial which was designed to look at eff ectiveness against COVID-19 did not produce data to answer the question of if it also stopped infection
In terms of safety the FDA staff said there was currently insuffi cient data to make conclusions about the safety of the vaccine in people below 16 years of age pregnant women and those with compromised immune systems
There were a total of six deaths in the 44000 person trial with two deaths among those who got the vaccine and the rest in those who received a placebo the docu-ments showed All deaths represent events that occur in the general population at a similar rate FDA staff said

NEW YORK - Companies and industry groups lobbying to get their US workers to the front of the line for COVID vaccination are running into a patchwork of state plans and confusion over who is essential and who is not
Inoculation against the disease caused by the novel coronavirus is key to safely reopening large parts of the economy and reduc-ing the risks of illness at crowd-ed meatpacking plants factories and warehouses
But before one needle has en-tered the arm of an American
worker confusion has broken out over who exactly is consid-ered essential during a pandemic
With initial vaccine doses limited and strong federal guid-ance lacking it has fallen to US states to determine who will be first in line to receive a vaccine and who will have to wait well into next year
State vaccine distribution plans reviewed by Reuters showed broad discrepancies over who would be considered essential with some states clearly outlin-ing specific worker groups and
others not providing any clarityGenerally states have broad
discretion when it comes to vac-cine distribution and policy and are able to issue vaccination mandates for their residents
Many states have so far fol-lowed federal guidance to give meat and food processing indus-try workers space in the line but some are slowly moving away said Mark Lauritsen a former hog slaughter worker who now advocates on behalf of about
250000 meatpacking and food processing workers under the United Food and Commercial Workers union
ldquoFor example Colorado has not moved meatpacking and meat-processing as high as some other states So wersquoll be directing a lot of our effort towards places like Colorado where we may be moved down the food chainrdquo
ldquoWersquore a union that has mem-bers in every state so we will be talking to every state to make
our case as to where our place in line should beEverybody is go-ing to be jockeying for a place in linerdquo
More than 20 large industries have urged officials to prioritize their workers including individ-ual companies such as ride-hail-ing company Uber Technologies Inc and food delivery provider DoorDash Inc and industry groups representing truck driv-ers teachers retail workers and other business sectors
As US companies push to get workers vaccinated states disagree on whorsquos essential

California becomes biggest US stateto launch virus contact-tracing app
OAKLAND - California on Monday announced an app to help people track their exposure to the coronavirus becoming the big-gest US state to take advantage of new technology from smart-phone software makers Apple Inc and Alphabet Incrsquos Google
Beginning on Thursday people in California can activate the ex-posure notifications tool from the settings menu on iPhones or by downloading the CA Notify App in the Google Play store on Android devices
The apps enable Bluetooth sig-nals between devices to determine
when they are in close proximity and the apps then anonymously alert users when a recent contact later tests positive At least 6 mil-lion people in the United States have tried the system in recent months across the 21 states and two territories that made apps available before California Colo-rado and New York are among other states with apps
Public health experts say adop-tion has lagged because of tech-nical shortcomings in the earliest apps privacy concerns and dis-missive attitudes toward taking precautions to avoid the virus
But California officials hope the app will be adopted quickly in a state that is home to many tech workers
The statersquos two most densely inhabited regions and its agri-cultural breadbasket went under stay-at-home orders in the last couple of days as the pandem-ic strains hospitals in the most populous US state
CA Notify had been tested on state university campuses since September The University of California San Diego will contin-ue to oversee the system and staff a user support phone hotline

India can bank on match-winner Pandya for next five years Kohli
SYDNEY - India captain Vi-rat Kohli has identified Har-dik Pandya as their ldquobankablerdquo match-winner for the next four to five years after the all-rounder dazzled in their series-clinching Twenty20 Interna-tional victory over Australia on Sunday
India needed 25 runs off the last two overs and Pandya deliv-ered in style smashing two sixes in the final over to secure a six-wicket victory with two balls to spare
ldquoHe has natural raw talent and now hersquos quite experienced having played quite a bit of T20 cricket in the IPL (Indian Pre-mier League) and playing for In-dia toordquo Kohli said after Indiarsquos second successive win in the three-match series
ldquoNow he realises that this is his time the next four-five years to become that bankable middle-order player that can win you games from anywhere
ldquoYou need that finisher and hersquos becoming that for us Hersquos
hungry hersquos got to keep getting betterrdquo
Pandya whose 42 not out off 22 balls earned him the Man of the Match award showed no signs of nerves even as the ask-ing run rate spiralled
ldquoI always believe as a cricket-er you have to improve with time
and I have taken some time but I think things are coming pretty well nowrdquo said the 27-year- old
ldquoNow my biggest goal (is) that I want to finish games where it matters the mostrdquo
Pandya said he was happy to bat wherever the team need him
ldquoIf time comes when I have to bat number four I donrsquot mindrdquo he added ldquoIf time comes where I have to finish the game I have to do that job as well whatever the team requiresrdquo
Tuesdayrsquos final Twenty20 match will also be played at the Sydney Cricket Ground

Rahane gets century boost ahead of key test role in Australia
SYDNEY - Indiarsquos Ajinkya Ra-hane crafted an unbeaten century in a warm-up match on Sunday to give himself a timely boost ahead of his major responsibility in the four-test series against Australia beginning later this month
With regular skipper Virat Kohli set to return home after the opening test in Adelaide to attend the birth of his first child Rahane will be in charge in the final three matches in Australia
The right-handed batsman made 108 not out to help the tour-ists overcome a top order wobble and reach 237-8 on day one of the three-day match against Australia A at Drummoyne Oval
Rahane hit 16 boundaries and a six an upper cut against James
Pattinson to reach the half-centu-ry mark
Number three Cheteshwar Pu-jara who was awarded man-of-
the-series when India won their maiden test series in Australia two seasons ago also spent qual-ity time in the middle and scored 54
While Rahane played in the recent Indian Premier League (IPL) in the United Arab Emir-ates this was Pujararsquos first com-petitive outing since a domestic Ranji Trophy match in early March
Pujara lasted 140 balls before falling to Pattinson who claimed 3-58 to signal his own prepared-ness for the test series
It was a mixed outing for the tourists as three of their top six batsmen including openers Prithvi Shaw and Shubman Gill fell for ducks

Telemarketing fraudster pleads guiltyPROVIDENCE RI - An Indian
national last week admitted to a federal judge in Providence that he participated in a wide-ranging conspiracy based in India to de-fraud United States citizens pri-marily seniors by telling victims that malware had been detected on their computers and based on that falsehood induced the vic-tims to direct money to him and his co-conspirators as payment for purported computer protection services that were not needed or ever provided
The conspirators in fact did not detect malware on victimsrsquo computers and accepted payment without providing any protection services
Himanshu Asri 33 of Delhi In-dia admitted that he had 325 call-ers routed to call centers in India where call center operators falsely reasserted to victims that malware had been detected on their com-puters and offered the victims purported computer protection services in exchange for payment The purpose of the false assertions was to induce people into routing money to the fraudsters
According to information pre-sented to the court from as far back as January 2015 through January 2020 Asri and others working together collected in
total approximately $940995 from victims through their fraud and attempted to collect between $1500000 and $3000000 The actual loss was less than the in-tended loss because some of those who were targeted by Asri and his coconspirators did not send any funds to the fraudsters
According to information pre-sented to the court the govern-ment and the defendant agree that many of Asrirsquos victims were vulnerable to fraud schemes due to age or infirmity and the parties agree that the scheme pursued by Asri and his coconspirators were structured to exploit such persons specifically persons over the age of 65
Appearing last week before
US District Court Chief Judge John J McConnell Jr Asri pleaded guilty to wire fraud con-spiracy announced United States Attorney Aaron L Weisman and Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Boston Division Joseph R Bonavolonta
Asri the 4th India-based tele-marketing fraudster to be convict-ed in federal court in Rhode Island in the past three months is sched-uled to be sentenced on February 18 2021 Wire fraud conspiracy is punishable by statutory penalties of up to 20 years in prison three years of supervised release and a fine of $250000
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant US Attorney Milind M Shah

California serial arson suspect arrested after garage doors car set on fire
FREMONT CA - Police in Fremont on Tuesday morning ar-rested a serial arson suspect who allegedly tried to light the ga-rage doors of multiple residenc-es on fire after he ignited a car according to authorities
Detectives arrested 44-year-old Fremont resident Roshan Patel after a series of four garage door fires over the past week De-tectives conducted surveillance on Patel and observed him set a vehicle on fire early this morn-ing He was arrested as he ran back to his vehicle
According to a news release undercover detectives were con-
ducting surveillance for Patel who was suspected of being in-volved in at least four residen-tial garage door fires that had happened since December 1st
Fremont officers located pri-vate residential camera footage that provided a general descrip-tion of the suspect vehicle De-tectives then matched that foot-age to the Community Camera network which then provided a license plate for the suspect ve-hicle
Detectives were surveilling Patel early Tuesday morning when he led them to the same house he had targeted on Hoyt
Street at approximately 245 am Detectives saw Patel get out of his vehicle and pour a liquid on a parked vehicle
Police detectives tried to con-tact Patel before he could ignite the vehicle but he was able to set the vehicle on fire Authorities were able to arrest the suspect as he ran back to his vehicle and extinguished the car fire with a nearby garden hose
Patel was arrested on arson charges and booked at the Fre-mont City Jail Detectives de-termined that Patel knew at least one of the residents that he had targeted in his arson attacks

Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine data wins backing of FDA authorization nears
By Manas Mishra Michael Erman and Rebecca Spalding
Pfi zer Inc cleared the next hurdle in the race to get its COVID-19 vaccine ap-proved for emergency use on Tuesday after the US Food and Drug Administra-tion (FDA) released documents that raised no new issues about its safety or effi cacy
Pfi zer and German partner BioNTech SE said last month their coronavirus vac-cinersquos two-dose regimen was 95 eff ec-tive against COVID-19 and had no ma-jor safety issues and asked the FDA for emergency use authorization
The vaccinersquos effi cacy and safety data met its expectations for emergency use authorization FDA staff said in docu-ments released ahead of a Thursday meet-ing of outside experts to the FDA who will discuss whether to recommend the Pfi zer
shot for people aged 16 and olderJeff eries analyst Michael Yee said in
research note the documents were ldquovery simple and straightforward which we think will lead to approval imminentlyrdquo
The agency typically follows the rec-ommendations of its advisory panels but is not required to do so It is not clear how many days or weeks the FDA will take to make a decision but states are prepping for vaccine deliveries in mid-December
The documents were released on the day Britons began getting the Pfi zerBi-oNTech vaccine the worldrsquos fi rst recipi-ents outside of clinical trials
ldquoThere are no surprises here The ef-fi cacy and the safety is consistent with what we heard and what we hoped for It does look like the vaccine is safe at least in the short termrdquo said Dr Daniel Culver chair of Pulmonary Medicine at Cleveland Clinic in an interview He said the data showing it was as eff ective in older people as in younger people was reassuring
Pfi zer shares rose nearly 2 and BioN-Techrsquos US shares were up 25 in early trading
Pfi zer Chief Executive Albert Bourla said on Tuesday he expects a ldquovery in-tenserdquo meeting with a US vaccine advi-sory panel this week but is counting on the panel of outside experts to sign off on his companyrsquos COVID-19 vaccine candi-date
ldquoI think they will vote lsquoyesrsquo given the strength of the datardquo Bourla said at a
conference hosted by a pharmaceutical industry group
PROTECTION AFTER ONE SHOTData from the trial showed that the vac-
cine began conferring some protection to recipients even before they received the sec-ond shot the FDA said The eff ect became most pronounced about 14 days after people received the fi rst shot
The agencyrsquos staff noted that more data would be needed to assess the potential of a single-dose shot It said that the effi cacy after dose 1 and before dose 2 was around 52 percent
A two-dose vaccination was highly eff ec-tive in preventing confi rmed cases of COV-ID-19 at least seven days after the last dose FDA staff said
The FDA staff also said that available data while limited suggested the people who had been previously infected with the new coronavirus could benefi t from vac-
cination Very few cases of confi rmed CO-VID-19 occurred among participants with evidence of infection prior to vaccination though more of those that did were in the placebo group than the vaccine group the staff said
FDA staff also said that the trial which was designed to look at eff ectiveness against COVID-19 did not produce data to answer the question of if it also stopped infection
In terms of safety the FDA staff said there was currently insuffi cient data to make conclusions about the safety of the vaccine in people below 16 years of age pregnant women and those with compromised immune systems
There were a total of six deaths in the 44000 person trial with two deaths among those who got the vaccine and the rest in those who received a placebo the docu-ments showed All deaths represent events that occur in the general population at a similar rate FDA staff said

NEW YORK - Companies and industry groups lobbying to get their US workers to the front of the line for COVID vaccination are running into a patchwork of state plans and confusion over who is essential and who is not
Inoculation against the disease caused by the novel coronavirus is key to safely reopening large parts of the economy and reduc-ing the risks of illness at crowd-ed meatpacking plants factories and warehouses
But before one needle has en-tered the arm of an American
worker confusion has broken out over who exactly is consid-ered essential during a pandemic
With initial vaccine doses limited and strong federal guid-ance lacking it has fallen to US states to determine who will be first in line to receive a vaccine and who will have to wait well into next year
State vaccine distribution plans reviewed by Reuters showed broad discrepancies over who would be considered essential with some states clearly outlin-ing specific worker groups and
others not providing any clarityGenerally states have broad
discretion when it comes to vac-cine distribution and policy and are able to issue vaccination mandates for their residents
Many states have so far fol-lowed federal guidance to give meat and food processing indus-try workers space in the line but some are slowly moving away said Mark Lauritsen a former hog slaughter worker who now advocates on behalf of about
250000 meatpacking and food processing workers under the United Food and Commercial Workers union
ldquoFor example Colorado has not moved meatpacking and meat-processing as high as some other states So wersquoll be directing a lot of our effort towards places like Colorado where we may be moved down the food chainrdquo
ldquoWersquore a union that has mem-bers in every state so we will be talking to every state to make
our case as to where our place in line should beEverybody is go-ing to be jockeying for a place in linerdquo
More than 20 large industries have urged officials to prioritize their workers including individ-ual companies such as ride-hail-ing company Uber Technologies Inc and food delivery provider DoorDash Inc and industry groups representing truck driv-ers teachers retail workers and other business sectors
As US companies push to get workers vaccinated states disagree on whorsquos essential

California becomes biggest US stateto launch virus contact-tracing app
OAKLAND - California on Monday announced an app to help people track their exposure to the coronavirus becoming the big-gest US state to take advantage of new technology from smart-phone software makers Apple Inc and Alphabet Incrsquos Google
Beginning on Thursday people in California can activate the ex-posure notifications tool from the settings menu on iPhones or by downloading the CA Notify App in the Google Play store on Android devices
The apps enable Bluetooth sig-nals between devices to determine
when they are in close proximity and the apps then anonymously alert users when a recent contact later tests positive At least 6 mil-lion people in the United States have tried the system in recent months across the 21 states and two territories that made apps available before California Colo-rado and New York are among other states with apps
Public health experts say adop-tion has lagged because of tech-nical shortcomings in the earliest apps privacy concerns and dis-missive attitudes toward taking precautions to avoid the virus
But California officials hope the app will be adopted quickly in a state that is home to many tech workers
The statersquos two most densely inhabited regions and its agri-cultural breadbasket went under stay-at-home orders in the last couple of days as the pandem-ic strains hospitals in the most populous US state
CA Notify had been tested on state university campuses since September The University of California San Diego will contin-ue to oversee the system and staff a user support phone hotline

India can bank on match-winner Pandya for next five years Kohli
SYDNEY - India captain Vi-rat Kohli has identified Har-dik Pandya as their ldquobankablerdquo match-winner for the next four to five years after the all-rounder dazzled in their series-clinching Twenty20 Interna-tional victory over Australia on Sunday
India needed 25 runs off the last two overs and Pandya deliv-ered in style smashing two sixes in the final over to secure a six-wicket victory with two balls to spare
ldquoHe has natural raw talent and now hersquos quite experienced having played quite a bit of T20 cricket in the IPL (Indian Pre-mier League) and playing for In-dia toordquo Kohli said after Indiarsquos second successive win in the three-match series
ldquoNow he realises that this is his time the next four-five years to become that bankable middle-order player that can win you games from anywhere
ldquoYou need that finisher and hersquos becoming that for us Hersquos
hungry hersquos got to keep getting betterrdquo
Pandya whose 42 not out off 22 balls earned him the Man of the Match award showed no signs of nerves even as the ask-ing run rate spiralled
ldquoI always believe as a cricket-er you have to improve with time
and I have taken some time but I think things are coming pretty well nowrdquo said the 27-year- old
ldquoNow my biggest goal (is) that I want to finish games where it matters the mostrdquo
Pandya said he was happy to bat wherever the team need him
ldquoIf time comes when I have to bat number four I donrsquot mindrdquo he added ldquoIf time comes where I have to finish the game I have to do that job as well whatever the team requiresrdquo
Tuesdayrsquos final Twenty20 match will also be played at the Sydney Cricket Ground

Rahane gets century boost ahead of key test role in Australia
SYDNEY - Indiarsquos Ajinkya Ra-hane crafted an unbeaten century in a warm-up match on Sunday to give himself a timely boost ahead of his major responsibility in the four-test series against Australia beginning later this month
With regular skipper Virat Kohli set to return home after the opening test in Adelaide to attend the birth of his first child Rahane will be in charge in the final three matches in Australia
The right-handed batsman made 108 not out to help the tour-ists overcome a top order wobble and reach 237-8 on day one of the three-day match against Australia A at Drummoyne Oval
Rahane hit 16 boundaries and a six an upper cut against James
Pattinson to reach the half-centu-ry mark
Number three Cheteshwar Pu-jara who was awarded man-of-
the-series when India won their maiden test series in Australia two seasons ago also spent qual-ity time in the middle and scored 54
While Rahane played in the recent Indian Premier League (IPL) in the United Arab Emir-ates this was Pujararsquos first com-petitive outing since a domestic Ranji Trophy match in early March
Pujara lasted 140 balls before falling to Pattinson who claimed 3-58 to signal his own prepared-ness for the test series
It was a mixed outing for the tourists as three of their top six batsmen including openers Prithvi Shaw and Shubman Gill fell for ducks

Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine data wins backing of FDA authorization nears
By Manas Mishra Michael Erman and Rebecca Spalding
Pfi zer Inc cleared the next hurdle in the race to get its COVID-19 vaccine ap-proved for emergency use on Tuesday after the US Food and Drug Administra-tion (FDA) released documents that raised no new issues about its safety or effi cacy
Pfi zer and German partner BioNTech SE said last month their coronavirus vac-cinersquos two-dose regimen was 95 eff ec-tive against COVID-19 and had no ma-jor safety issues and asked the FDA for emergency use authorization
The vaccinersquos effi cacy and safety data met its expectations for emergency use authorization FDA staff said in docu-ments released ahead of a Thursday meet-ing of outside experts to the FDA who will discuss whether to recommend the Pfi zer
shot for people aged 16 and olderJeff eries analyst Michael Yee said in
research note the documents were ldquovery simple and straightforward which we think will lead to approval imminentlyrdquo
The agency typically follows the rec-ommendations of its advisory panels but is not required to do so It is not clear how many days or weeks the FDA will take to make a decision but states are prepping for vaccine deliveries in mid-December
The documents were released on the day Britons began getting the Pfi zerBi-oNTech vaccine the worldrsquos fi rst recipi-ents outside of clinical trials
ldquoThere are no surprises here The ef-fi cacy and the safety is consistent with what we heard and what we hoped for It does look like the vaccine is safe at least in the short termrdquo said Dr Daniel Culver chair of Pulmonary Medicine at Cleveland Clinic in an interview He said the data showing it was as eff ective in older people as in younger people was reassuring
Pfi zer shares rose nearly 2 and BioN-Techrsquos US shares were up 25 in early trading
Pfi zer Chief Executive Albert Bourla said on Tuesday he expects a ldquovery in-tenserdquo meeting with a US vaccine advi-sory panel this week but is counting on the panel of outside experts to sign off on his companyrsquos COVID-19 vaccine candi-date
ldquoI think they will vote lsquoyesrsquo given the strength of the datardquo Bourla said at a
conference hosted by a pharmaceutical industry group
PROTECTION AFTER ONE SHOTData from the trial showed that the vac-
cine began conferring some protection to recipients even before they received the sec-ond shot the FDA said The eff ect became most pronounced about 14 days after people received the fi rst shot
The agencyrsquos staff noted that more data would be needed to assess the potential of a single-dose shot It said that the effi cacy after dose 1 and before dose 2 was around 52 percent
A two-dose vaccination was highly eff ec-tive in preventing confi rmed cases of COV-ID-19 at least seven days after the last dose FDA staff said
The FDA staff also said that available data while limited suggested the people who had been previously infected with the new coronavirus could benefi t from vac-
cination Very few cases of confi rmed CO-VID-19 occurred among participants with evidence of infection prior to vaccination though more of those that did were in the placebo group than the vaccine group the staff said
FDA staff also said that the trial which was designed to look at eff ectiveness against COVID-19 did not produce data to answer the question of if it also stopped infection
In terms of safety the FDA staff said there was currently insuffi cient data to make conclusions about the safety of the vaccine in people below 16 years of age pregnant women and those with compromised immune systems
There were a total of six deaths in the 44000 person trial with two deaths among those who got the vaccine and the rest in those who received a placebo the docu-ments showed All deaths represent events that occur in the general population at a similar rate FDA staff said

NEW YORK - Companies and industry groups lobbying to get their US workers to the front of the line for COVID vaccination are running into a patchwork of state plans and confusion over who is essential and who is not
Inoculation against the disease caused by the novel coronavirus is key to safely reopening large parts of the economy and reduc-ing the risks of illness at crowd-ed meatpacking plants factories and warehouses
But before one needle has en-tered the arm of an American
worker confusion has broken out over who exactly is consid-ered essential during a pandemic
With initial vaccine doses limited and strong federal guid-ance lacking it has fallen to US states to determine who will be first in line to receive a vaccine and who will have to wait well into next year
State vaccine distribution plans reviewed by Reuters showed broad discrepancies over who would be considered essential with some states clearly outlin-ing specific worker groups and
others not providing any clarityGenerally states have broad
discretion when it comes to vac-cine distribution and policy and are able to issue vaccination mandates for their residents
Many states have so far fol-lowed federal guidance to give meat and food processing indus-try workers space in the line but some are slowly moving away said Mark Lauritsen a former hog slaughter worker who now advocates on behalf of about
250000 meatpacking and food processing workers under the United Food and Commercial Workers union
ldquoFor example Colorado has not moved meatpacking and meat-processing as high as some other states So wersquoll be directing a lot of our effort towards places like Colorado where we may be moved down the food chainrdquo
ldquoWersquore a union that has mem-bers in every state so we will be talking to every state to make
our case as to where our place in line should beEverybody is go-ing to be jockeying for a place in linerdquo
More than 20 large industries have urged officials to prioritize their workers including individ-ual companies such as ride-hail-ing company Uber Technologies Inc and food delivery provider DoorDash Inc and industry groups representing truck driv-ers teachers retail workers and other business sectors
As US companies push to get workers vaccinated states disagree on whorsquos essential

California becomes biggest US stateto launch virus contact-tracing app
OAKLAND - California on Monday announced an app to help people track their exposure to the coronavirus becoming the big-gest US state to take advantage of new technology from smart-phone software makers Apple Inc and Alphabet Incrsquos Google
Beginning on Thursday people in California can activate the ex-posure notifications tool from the settings menu on iPhones or by downloading the CA Notify App in the Google Play store on Android devices
The apps enable Bluetooth sig-nals between devices to determine
when they are in close proximity and the apps then anonymously alert users when a recent contact later tests positive At least 6 mil-lion people in the United States have tried the system in recent months across the 21 states and two territories that made apps available before California Colo-rado and New York are among other states with apps
Public health experts say adop-tion has lagged because of tech-nical shortcomings in the earliest apps privacy concerns and dis-missive attitudes toward taking precautions to avoid the virus
But California officials hope the app will be adopted quickly in a state that is home to many tech workers
The statersquos two most densely inhabited regions and its agri-cultural breadbasket went under stay-at-home orders in the last couple of days as the pandem-ic strains hospitals in the most populous US state
CA Notify had been tested on state university campuses since September The University of California San Diego will contin-ue to oversee the system and staff a user support phone hotline

India can bank on match-winner Pandya for next five years Kohli
SYDNEY - India captain Vi-rat Kohli has identified Har-dik Pandya as their ldquobankablerdquo match-winner for the next four to five years after the all-rounder dazzled in their series-clinching Twenty20 Interna-tional victory over Australia on Sunday
India needed 25 runs off the last two overs and Pandya deliv-ered in style smashing two sixes in the final over to secure a six-wicket victory with two balls to spare
ldquoHe has natural raw talent and now hersquos quite experienced having played quite a bit of T20 cricket in the IPL (Indian Pre-mier League) and playing for In-dia toordquo Kohli said after Indiarsquos second successive win in the three-match series
ldquoNow he realises that this is his time the next four-five years to become that bankable middle-order player that can win you games from anywhere
ldquoYou need that finisher and hersquos becoming that for us Hersquos
hungry hersquos got to keep getting betterrdquo
Pandya whose 42 not out off 22 balls earned him the Man of the Match award showed no signs of nerves even as the ask-ing run rate spiralled
ldquoI always believe as a cricket-er you have to improve with time
and I have taken some time but I think things are coming pretty well nowrdquo said the 27-year- old
ldquoNow my biggest goal (is) that I want to finish games where it matters the mostrdquo
Pandya said he was happy to bat wherever the team need him
ldquoIf time comes when I have to bat number four I donrsquot mindrdquo he added ldquoIf time comes where I have to finish the game I have to do that job as well whatever the team requiresrdquo
Tuesdayrsquos final Twenty20 match will also be played at the Sydney Cricket Ground

Rahane gets century boost ahead of key test role in Australia
SYDNEY - Indiarsquos Ajinkya Ra-hane crafted an unbeaten century in a warm-up match on Sunday to give himself a timely boost ahead of his major responsibility in the four-test series against Australia beginning later this month
With regular skipper Virat Kohli set to return home after the opening test in Adelaide to attend the birth of his first child Rahane will be in charge in the final three matches in Australia
The right-handed batsman made 108 not out to help the tour-ists overcome a top order wobble and reach 237-8 on day one of the three-day match against Australia A at Drummoyne Oval
Rahane hit 16 boundaries and a six an upper cut against James
Pattinson to reach the half-centu-ry mark
Number three Cheteshwar Pu-jara who was awarded man-of-
the-series when India won their maiden test series in Australia two seasons ago also spent qual-ity time in the middle and scored 54
While Rahane played in the recent Indian Premier League (IPL) in the United Arab Emir-ates this was Pujararsquos first com-petitive outing since a domestic Ranji Trophy match in early March
Pujara lasted 140 balls before falling to Pattinson who claimed 3-58 to signal his own prepared-ness for the test series
It was a mixed outing for the tourists as three of their top six batsmen including openers Prithvi Shaw and Shubman Gill fell for ducks

California becomes biggest US stateto launch virus contact-tracing app
OAKLAND - California on Monday announced an app to help people track their exposure to the coronavirus becoming the big-gest US state to take advantage of new technology from smart-phone software makers Apple Inc and Alphabet Incrsquos Google
Beginning on Thursday people in California can activate the ex-posure notifications tool from the settings menu on iPhones or by downloading the CA Notify App in the Google Play store on Android devices
The apps enable Bluetooth sig-nals between devices to determine
when they are in close proximity and the apps then anonymously alert users when a recent contact later tests positive At least 6 mil-lion people in the United States have tried the system in recent months across the 21 states and two territories that made apps available before California Colo-rado and New York are among other states with apps
Public health experts say adop-tion has lagged because of tech-nical shortcomings in the earliest apps privacy concerns and dis-missive attitudes toward taking precautions to avoid the virus
But California officials hope the app will be adopted quickly in a state that is home to many tech workers
The statersquos two most densely inhabited regions and its agri-cultural breadbasket went under stay-at-home orders in the last couple of days as the pandem-ic strains hospitals in the most populous US state
CA Notify had been tested on state university campuses since September The University of California San Diego will contin-ue to oversee the system and staff a user support phone hotline

India can bank on match-winner Pandya for next five years Kohli
SYDNEY - India captain Vi-rat Kohli has identified Har-dik Pandya as their ldquobankablerdquo match-winner for the next four to five years after the all-rounder dazzled in their series-clinching Twenty20 Interna-tional victory over Australia on Sunday
India needed 25 runs off the last two overs and Pandya deliv-ered in style smashing two sixes in the final over to secure a six-wicket victory with two balls to spare
ldquoHe has natural raw talent and now hersquos quite experienced having played quite a bit of T20 cricket in the IPL (Indian Pre-mier League) and playing for In-dia toordquo Kohli said after Indiarsquos second successive win in the three-match series
ldquoNow he realises that this is his time the next four-five years to become that bankable middle-order player that can win you games from anywhere
ldquoYou need that finisher and hersquos becoming that for us Hersquos
hungry hersquos got to keep getting betterrdquo
Pandya whose 42 not out off 22 balls earned him the Man of the Match award showed no signs of nerves even as the ask-ing run rate spiralled
ldquoI always believe as a cricket-er you have to improve with time
and I have taken some time but I think things are coming pretty well nowrdquo said the 27-year- old
ldquoNow my biggest goal (is) that I want to finish games where it matters the mostrdquo
Pandya said he was happy to bat wherever the team need him
ldquoIf time comes when I have to bat number four I donrsquot mindrdquo he added ldquoIf time comes where I have to finish the game I have to do that job as well whatever the team requiresrdquo
Tuesdayrsquos final Twenty20 match will also be played at the Sydney Cricket Ground

Rahane gets century boost ahead of key test role in Australia
SYDNEY - Indiarsquos Ajinkya Ra-hane crafted an unbeaten century in a warm-up match on Sunday to give himself a timely boost ahead of his major responsibility in the four-test series against Australia beginning later this month
With regular skipper Virat Kohli set to return home after the opening test in Adelaide to attend the birth of his first child Rahane will be in charge in the final three matches in Australia
The right-handed batsman made 108 not out to help the tour-ists overcome a top order wobble and reach 237-8 on day one of the three-day match against Australia A at Drummoyne Oval
Rahane hit 16 boundaries and a six an upper cut against James
Pattinson to reach the half-centu-ry mark
Number three Cheteshwar Pu-jara who was awarded man-of-
the-series when India won their maiden test series in Australia two seasons ago also spent qual-ity time in the middle and scored 54
While Rahane played in the recent Indian Premier League (IPL) in the United Arab Emir-ates this was Pujararsquos first com-petitive outing since a domestic Ranji Trophy match in early March
Pujara lasted 140 balls before falling to Pattinson who claimed 3-58 to signal his own prepared-ness for the test series
It was a mixed outing for the tourists as three of their top six batsmen including openers Prithvi Shaw and Shubman Gill fell for ducks

India can bank on match-winner Pandya for next five years Kohli
SYDNEY - India captain Vi-rat Kohli has identified Har-dik Pandya as their ldquobankablerdquo match-winner for the next four to five years after the all-rounder dazzled in their series-clinching Twenty20 Interna-tional victory over Australia on Sunday
India needed 25 runs off the last two overs and Pandya deliv-ered in style smashing two sixes in the final over to secure a six-wicket victory with two balls to spare
ldquoHe has natural raw talent and now hersquos quite experienced having played quite a bit of T20 cricket in the IPL (Indian Pre-mier League) and playing for In-dia toordquo Kohli said after Indiarsquos second successive win in the three-match series
ldquoNow he realises that this is his time the next four-five years to become that bankable middle-order player that can win you games from anywhere
ldquoYou need that finisher and hersquos becoming that for us Hersquos
hungry hersquos got to keep getting betterrdquo
Pandya whose 42 not out off 22 balls earned him the Man of the Match award showed no signs of nerves even as the ask-ing run rate spiralled
ldquoI always believe as a cricket-er you have to improve with time
and I have taken some time but I think things are coming pretty well nowrdquo said the 27-year- old
ldquoNow my biggest goal (is) that I want to finish games where it matters the mostrdquo
Pandya said he was happy to bat wherever the team need him
ldquoIf time comes when I have to bat number four I donrsquot mindrdquo he added ldquoIf time comes where I have to finish the game I have to do that job as well whatever the team requiresrdquo
Tuesdayrsquos final Twenty20 match will also be played at the Sydney Cricket Ground

Rahane gets century boost ahead of key test role in Australia
SYDNEY - Indiarsquos Ajinkya Ra-hane crafted an unbeaten century in a warm-up match on Sunday to give himself a timely boost ahead of his major responsibility in the four-test series against Australia beginning later this month
With regular skipper Virat Kohli set to return home after the opening test in Adelaide to attend the birth of his first child Rahane will be in charge in the final three matches in Australia
The right-handed batsman made 108 not out to help the tour-ists overcome a top order wobble and reach 237-8 on day one of the three-day match against Australia A at Drummoyne Oval
Rahane hit 16 boundaries and a six an upper cut against James
Pattinson to reach the half-centu-ry mark
Number three Cheteshwar Pu-jara who was awarded man-of-
the-series when India won their maiden test series in Australia two seasons ago also spent qual-ity time in the middle and scored 54
While Rahane played in the recent Indian Premier League (IPL) in the United Arab Emir-ates this was Pujararsquos first com-petitive outing since a domestic Ranji Trophy match in early March
Pujara lasted 140 balls before falling to Pattinson who claimed 3-58 to signal his own prepared-ness for the test series
It was a mixed outing for the tourists as three of their top six batsmen including openers Prithvi Shaw and Shubman Gill fell for ducks
