Disgusted by Public Actions of Luis Rubiales: Alex Morgan, Iker Casillas, Barcelona Condemn Spanish FA Chief

In a scorching reprimand of Luis Rubiales, the Leader of the Spanish Football League (RFEF), unmistakable figures from the universe of football have communicated their aggregate disappointment and judgment of Rubiales’ new open activities. Among those scrutinizing the Spanish FA boss are worldwide soccer sensation Alex Morgan, incredible goalkeeper Iker Casillas, and the renowned football club Barcelona.
Rubiales, who has stood firm on the foothold of RFEF President beginning around 2018, has as of late experienced harsh criticism for his questionable comments and activities, which have raised worries among the worldwide football local area. In a joint proclamation, the triplet of conspicuous figures voiced areas of strength for them.
Alex Morgan, the profoundly enlivened American footballer and double cross FIFA Ladies’ Reality Cup champion, minced no words in her judgment of Rubiales. “I’m completely disturbed by the new activities and proclamations made by Luis Rubiales,” said Morgan. “As a backer for the upsides of inclusivity, variety, and regard inside the universe of football, I find his way of behaving unsatisfactory. It conflicts with the actual quintessence of what our game ought to address.”
Iker Casillas, the famous previous Spanish public group skipper and goalkeeper, repeated Morgan’s feelings. “The way of behaving showed by Mr. Rubiales isn’t befitting of a forerunner in our footballing local area,” Casillas commented. “We ought to all endeavor to advance the best parts of our game, like fair play, regard, and solidarity. His new activities have been an obvious takeoff from these standards.”
Indeed, even Barcelona, one of Spain’s most eminent football clubs, said something regarding the matter. The club made an announcement communicating their anxiety about the condition of football administration in Spain. “Barcelona FC is profoundly pained by the new direct of the Leader of the RFEF,” the assertion read. “We accept that the footballing administration ought to motivate trust and solidarity. It is our expectation that the RFEF can determine these issues quickly and recapture the certainty of the footballing local area.”
While the particular activities of Rubiales that provoked areas of strength for this poor person been nitty gritty in the proclamation, obviously the triplet of football figures is joined in their conviction that his lead is negative to the game and its qualities.
The analysis from Alex Morgan, Iker Casillas, and Barcelona reflects developing worries inside the footballing scene about the initiative and administration of Spanish football. As these voices consolidate to censure Rubiales’ activities, it is not yet clear how the RFEF and its Leader will answer this resonating objection from unmistakable individuals from the worldwide football local area.
The assertion from these persuasive figures brings up significant issues about the course of Spanish football and the qualities that ought to direct its authority. As the circumstance unfurls, almost certainly, more voices from the inside and beyond Spain will keep on saying something regarding this combative issue.

Govts to Big Tech: Create responsible AI first and then make it public

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The generative AI era came fast. However, the government scrutiny into Big Tech on AI came much faster to promote responsible innovation and risk mitigation as AI chatbots begin to worry lawmakers and regulators worldwide.
The governments feel that companies have a fundamental responsibility to make sure their AI products are safe and secure before they are deployed or made public.
In the US, Vice President Harris and senior Administration officials met with CEOs of four American companies at the forefront of AI innovation this week to share concerns about the risks associated with AI.

President Biden dropped by the meeting to underscore that companies have a fundamental responsibility to make sure their products are safe and secure before they are deployed or made public.
Harris told top Big Tech CEOs, including Microsoft Chairman and CEO Satya Nadella, Alphabet and Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI (ChatGPT fame), that the private sector has an ethical, moral, and legal responsibility to ensure the safety and security of their products.
She stressed that in order to realise the benefits that might come from advances in AI, “it is imperative to mitigate both the current and potential risks AI poses to individuals, society, and national security”.
“Every company must comply with existing laws to protect the American people. I look forward to the follow through and follow up in the weeks to come,” Harris said.
She told the CEOs that advances in technology have always presented opportunities and risks, and generative AI is no different.

“AI is one of today’s most powerful technologies, with the potential to improve people’s lives and tackle some of society’s biggest challenges. At the same time, AI has the potential to dramatically increase threats to safety and security, infringe civil rights and privacy, and erode public trust and faith in democracy,” she stressed.
Meanwhile, the UK’s competition watchdog this week launched an initial review of “AI foundational models” like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Microsoft’s Bing and Google’s Bard, saying the move will help create an early understanding of the market for AI models and what opportunities and risks these could bring.
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said the initial piece of work will help create competition and consumer protection principles to best guide the development of AI-driven markets going forward.
“AI has burst into the public consciousness over the past few months but has been on our radar for some time. It’s a technology developing at speed and has the potential to transform the way businesses compete as well as drive substantial economic growth,” said Sarah Cardell, Chief Executive of the CMA.
“Our goal is to help this new, rapidly scaling technology develop in ways that ensure open, competitive markets and effective consumer protection,” she added.
In a white paper, the UK government in March asked regulators, including the CMA, to think about how the innovative development and deployment of AI can be supported in line with the 5 overarching principles of: safety, security and robustness; appropriate transparency and explainability; fairness; accountability and governance; and contestability and redress.
In line with the government’s AI white paper and the CMA’s role to support open, competitive markets, the review seeks to understand how foundation models are developing and produce an assessment of the conditions and principles that will best guide the development of foundation models and their use in the future.
The development of AI touches upon a number of important issues, including safety, security, copyright, privacy, and human rights, as well as the ways markets work.
The Indian government also wants Big Tech to create a responsible and ethical AI.
“AI is a kinetic enabler of the digital economy and innovation ecosystem. Government is harnessing the potential of AI to provide personalized and interactive citizen-centric services through digital public platforms,” according to the Ministry of Electronics and IT.
Union Minister of State for Electronics and IT, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, has broadly outlined the IndiaAI programme and how it will help the country build world-class platforms, solutions and tools to not only solve local issues but also help the world.
“We aim to build commercially deployable AI platforms and solutions, developed by a vibrant startup ecosystem in the country which is our primary goal,” according to the minister.
India aims to become a global powerhouse of AI which does not just stop at integrating foreign chatbots but building next-generation AI-based innovations to empower billions of citizens.

Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka told reporters on Sunday that Congress Bharosa Sabha is aimed at giving an assurance to the youth.
He said the party would announce what it plans to do for the unemployed after coming to power in the state.
He said justice should be done to youth in Telangana which was achieved with their struggle and sacrifice.
Bhatti Vikramarka said if voted to power in Telangana, the Congress party would provide jobs to the unemployed and also provide houses for the poor.

Karnataka polls: After 4 yrs, Sonia to address public meeting today

[ad_1]
Bengaluru: With just three days left for the campaigning in Karnataka, former Congress president Sonia Gandhi will be addressing a public meeting in the southern state on Saturday along with her son and party leader Rahul Gandhi.
According to Congress, Sonia Gandhi will be addressing a joint rally with her son in Hubli in the evening.
The area around Hubli has remained a laboratory for Hindutva politics and the Congress has chosen this region for Sonia Gandhi’s public meeting.

Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi will be addressing two more public meetings — in Yamakanmardi and Chikodi in Karnataka’s Belagavi — before joining his mother in the third public meeting.
This will be the first election public meeting of Sonia Gandhi, who is currently the Chairperson of Congress Parliamentary Party after May 2019.
Sonia Gandhi addressed the last electoral public meeting in Uttar Pradesh’s Rae Bareli on May 2, 2019.
Her last speech at a public meeting was on December 14, 2019 in Delhi’s Ramlila Maidan where she spoke in Bharat Bachao Rally.
However, due to health reasons she had participated in several programmes of the party, but has stayed away from the election campaigning and public meetings.

However, Rahul Gandhi and his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra have been campaigning aggressively in karnataka and both of them have jointly held over 40 public meetings and roadshows in the state.
Rahul Gandhi, meanwhile, has not raked up the Adani issue in the Karnataka Assembly polls and has kept his campaigning focused on local issues of corruption, unemployment, etc.
Besides the Gandhi family, even Congress leadership has been holding aggressive campaigning in the state.
The ruling BJP is facing stiff competition from the Congress in the southern state. The Congress has been campaigning aggressively in Karnataka and has cornered the BJP on issues of corruption and several others.
The Congress announced several promises for the people of the state in its manifesto. The party also promised to repeal, within one year of coming to power, “all unjust laws and other anti-people laws” passed by the BJP government in the state.
To woo the voters in the state, Congress announced Gruha Jyothi (200 units of free electricity), Gruha Lakshmi- Rs 2,000 monthly to every woman head of the family, Anna Bhagya – 10 kg of food grains of their choice (among rice, ragi, jowar, millet) to every person in a BPL family.
It also promised that the party is committed to take a firm and decisive action against individuals and organisations spreading hatred amongst communities on grounds of caste or religion. It also said that it will ban any organisation like Bajrang Dal and PFI, if they try to spread hatred.
BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi have cornered Congress on its decision to ban Bajrang Dal in Karnataka.
Elections for the 224-member Assembly is scheduled on May 10 and counting of votes will take place on May 13.

Karnataka Golf Association is a ‘public authority’ under RTI Act, declares HC

[ad_1]
Bengaluru: Dismissing a petition by the Karnataka Golf Association (KGA), the High Court has upheld the decision of the Karnataka Information Commission (KIC) that it is a ‘public authority’ under the Right to Information (RTI) Act.
The KIC had declared the KGA a public authority under Section 2(h) of the RTI Act in an order on October 14, 2014. KGA had challenged this order before the HC.
Justice N S Sanjay Gowda heard the final arguments and delivered his judgment on the petition recently.

In a batch of petitions earlier, the High Court had held that societies registered under the Karnataka Societies Registration Act such as Bangalore Turf Club, Mysore Race Club, Ladies Club and the Institution of Engineers (India) which were granted lands on the basis of lease by the government were public authorities since the grant of lands under lease amounted to these clubs being substantially financed by the government.
The HC in its judgment on the KGA said, “The government order which is produced along with this petition indicates that 124 acres of land has been leased to the petitioner’s Association for a period of 30 years from May 17, 2010, subject to the petitioner paying two per cent of annual gross income as lease rent for the fresh lease period.”
Thus, KGA was a public authority, the HC said.
“In my view, the fact that 124 acres of land has been leased on two per cent of the annual gross income would indicate that the Association has been substantially financed by the State. It is to be noticed here that the Golf Association can run the Golf Course only if the land is available to them and if the land is given to them on a heavily subsidised rent, this would amount to a substantial financing as contemplated under RTI Act,” the judgement said.
Citing the earlier judgments in the cases of the other clubs, the HC said, “In my view, it would be appropriate to follow the decision rendered in the aforementioned Writ Petitions and uphold the order of the Karnataka Information Commission which has held that the petitioner is a public authority as contemplated under the RTI Act.”

Umpathi S had filed a RTI application seeking information about the Club in 2012. Since his application was refused, he had approached the KIC.

BJP does not enjoy public support, it wins elections by rigging EVMs: Sanjay Raut

[ad_1]
Belagavi: Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut on Wednesday alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) does not enjoy the support of people and it wins elections by rigging the Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs).
Addressing a poll rally here to campaign for Murlidhar Patil, a Maharashtra Ekikaran Samiti (MES) candidate from Khanapur, Raut also accused the BJP of being a “Maharashtra hater” and said whenever the Marathi manoos gets stronger, it hatches a conspiracy – be it against Maharashtra or Marathi-speaking border areas of Karnataka.
He also asked people not to entertain the BJP, the Congress and the Shiv Sena led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde when the leaders from these parties from Maharashtra come for campaigning.

While the Congress is the principal opposition party seeking to dislodge the BJP government in Karnataka, the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) has fielded candidates for the Assembly polls in the state.
“Guard the EVMs. BJP wins with the help of EVMs. You vote for the stool (MES candidate’s symbol) in the morning and in the evening it gets changed to something else. This has to be taken care of. They (the BJP) don’t have people’s support and win by indulging in scams. This is the picture everywhere in the country,” he said.
He said be it Uddhav Thackeray or NCP president Sharad Pawar, they always had affection towards the Ekikaran Samiti and the Marathi manoos in Marathi-speaking areas of Karnataka.
The MES is a body fighting for the rights of the Marathi-speaking areas in Belagavi-Karwar areas of Karnataka, where Assembly elections will be held on May 10.

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra will visit Hyderabad on May 8 to address a public meeting on the problems of unemployed in Telangana.
The party sources said she would arrive here from Karnataka where she is campaigning for the May 10 Assembly elections.
The public meeting will be held at Saroornagar grounds. Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) has started making arrangements for the meeting.

With Assembly elections in Telangana scheduled later this year, the Congress party is gearing up for the battle. The meeting by Priyanka Gandhi is seen as part of the party’s efforts to get into the poll mode.
The meeting is expected to strengthen the Congress party’s ongoing statewide movement over the problems of unemployed in the wake of Telangana State Public Service Commission (TSPSC) exam paper leak.
As part of the activities undertaken by the state Congress on unemployment and the TSPSC paper leak issues, protests were held in Nalgonda, Khammam, Adilabad and other places.

Delhi HC reserves order on PIL against sealing of school on public land

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Monday reserved its order on a petition seeking protection of the interests of kids enrolled in schools on public property that have been mortgaged and could be sold at auctions by banks due to debt default.
Filed in a form of Public Interest Litigation (PIL), it was listed before the division of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Subramonium Prasad.
The bench, after hearing the arguments on behalf of the petitioners and the respondents, reserved its order on the petition.

“We will pass appropriate orders. Arguments heard and order reserved,” the bench said.
In the PIL, NGO Justice for All has requested that the court to protect the fundamental right to education guaranteed to over 900 students attending Laxmi Public School in Karkardooma as well as other students attending similar schools whose land has been mortgaged and could one day be sold at auction or sealed due to loan default.
Additionally, it asks the court to issue directives for an investigation into the mortgaged status of Laxmi Public School’s leasehold property.
The land parcel belonged to the government and was given to Laxmi Educational Society under the Government Grants Act for the purpose of operating a school, according to standing counsel Santosh Kumar Tripathi and advocate Arun Panwar, who were representing the Delhi government.
The society was not permitted to deal with the land further under the Transfer of Property Act.

The Delhi government’s goal was to safeguard kids and advance education, and this land was never made accessible to the bank as any other land to be purchased from any institution, Tripathi submitted.
According to the petition, numerous institutions originally bought land for cheap before borrowing money from banks to build five-star facilities.
It claimed that this led to the commercialisation of education and increased competition for expensive education and that these institutions put children’s education at danger by mortgaging the property.
The petition was disputed by the legal counsel for the society and the school, who argued that it was a publicity stunt and that the petitioner had submitted the plea without any support or evidence, and that it should be dismissed with costs.
Things have advanced to the point where the school will be auctioned off to pay back a loan and business regulations are being implemented on school property, which is otherwise public land set aside for public institutions, the petition argues.
