  • Trump case spotlights New York rule barring cameras in court

    Trump case spotlights New York rule barring cameras in court

    [ad_1]

    “As the media capital of the world — and the venue for the arraignment of Donald Trump — we must change this outdated law to allow the public to witness trials,” said Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal, a Manhattan Democrat who sponsors a bill to change the law.

    Alina Habba, an attorney who has represented Trump in the past, said on CNN Monday morning that she’s not strictly opposed to having cameras in the courtroom.

    “I think it depends. I think this whole rigmarole, for lack of better words has been through leaks, which I don’t appreciate as an attorney,” Habba said.

    “I think that transparency is very important. I’m going to leave that decision to the criminal team. But as somebody who has represented the president in court, I like transparency. I think that in certain situations, it’s a good thing,” she said.

    While New York has banned cameras in the courts for a century, New York experimented with a change from 1987 and 1997. But while the limited allowance of electronic media coverage was applauded, it was not turned into a permanent law by the state Legislature.

    The law is not unlike federal courts that prohibit video coverage of trials, and even the U.S. Supreme Court limits its oral arguments to an audio livestream.

    Still, New York judges have some discretion to allow cameras in the courtroom. The law does not prohibit coverage of trial court proceedings when witness testimony is not being taken — so a judge could rule to allow for videos and photos for parts of Trump’s case.

    Attempts to allow for broader trial coverage in New York have been rebuked. In 2005, Court TV took a case to the state’s highest court, the Court of Appeals, to broadcast trials, but section 52 of the state’s civil rights law was upheld, and the case was kicked back to the Legislature for a law change — which hasn’t happened, the Fund for Modern Court’s review noted.

    “Public access is the bedrock of our justice system — but its promise is hollow if constrained by geographic proximity, workday availability and space constraints. Without cameras, the vast majority of the public is effectively denied access,” Dan Novack, chair of New York State Bar Association’s committee on media law, said in a statement.

    Hoylman-Sigal said he is hopeful his bill, which doesn’t have a sponsor yet in the state Assembly, could be adopted as part of the state budget that is being negotiated for the fiscal year that started Saturday. The bill would give judges discretion over what could be filmed, limiting the number of video cameras and still photographers.

    Rep. Jerry Nadler, a Manhattan Democrat, said he has been trying to push for legislation in Washington to allow cameras in federal courts. Doing so in New York would be a step forward, he said.

    “Transparency is essential to our democracy. Without televised access, the courts are effectively out of reach to most of the public. That is why I have long sponsored legislation to require cameras in the federal courts,” Nadler said in a statement. “I hope that New York will follow the lead of other states and ensure that the public is able to witness important judicial proceedings in real time.”

  • Biden-backed California rule pushes clean trucks

    Biden-backed California rule pushes clean trucks

    [ad_1]

    California officials celebrated the approval, but were also working to smooth out a last-minute spat with truck manufacturers that is holding up the approval of another tailpipe regulation.

    EPA was set to approve a third waiver covering California’s “omnibus” rule, but held back amid the last-minute spat with the industry. The rule would reduce nitrogen oxide limits for new heavy-duty trucks by 90 percent compared to current standards by 2031.

    The delay underscores the tenuousness of California’s attempts to limit emissions and transform heavily-polluting vehicles.

    Under the Clean Air Act, California can seek waivers from EPA to enforce more stringent tailpipe regulations. Other states can choose to adopt California’s version of the rules, expanding its reach.

    A coalition of Republican-controlled states has challenged the five-decade-old waiver provisions in the Clean Air Act as unconstitutional. That case is scheduled for oral argument before a Washington, D.C., court in September.

    The two waivers approved by EPA on Friday cover a suite of rules set by state regulators.

    In addition to the Advanced Clean Trucks rule, the first waiver allows California to enforce a regulation requiring shuttle operators serving California’s 13 biggest airports to transition to entirely zero-emission vehicles by the end of 2035. It also lets states set certification requirements for zero-emission powertrains.

    The second waiver extends the emission warranty period for heavy-duty trucks from 100,000 miles to 350,000 miles, lengthening the period manufacturers must repair or replace certain parts in vehicles’ pollution control systems. California regulators said longer warranty periods were appropriate because well-maintained engines can last much longer now.

    EPA in December finalized a federal truck NOx rule that is slightly less stringent than California’s requirements, reducing NOx emissions about 80 percent.

    The California Air Resources Board will vote in April on a rule requiring all sales of new trucks to be zero-emission by 2040.

    Cheque Bounce Rule: If you also pay through cheque, then it is very important to take care of many things. Otherwise, if the Cheque  bounces, you may have to go to jail along with the fine. Cheque bounce is considered a legal offense in the language of the court. In this, a provision has been made for punishment under the Negotiable Instruments Act of 1881.

    When does a Cheque bounce?

    When a bank rejects a Cheque for some reason and the payment is not made, it is called Cheque bounce. The reason for this happening is mostly due to lack of balance in the account. Apart from this, even if there is a difference in the person’s signature, the bank rejects the cheque.

    Reasons for Cheque bounce

    – Payee’s bank account does not have sufficient funds
    – Signature does not match
    – Account number does not match
    – Cheque issued with date
    – Amount does not match in words and figures
    – Mutilated Cheque
    – overdraft limit

    What happens after a Cheque bounces?

    When the Cheque bounces, the person giving the Cheque has to inform about it. After which he has to pay you within 1 month. In case of not doing so, a legal notice is sent to the person. Even after that, if no reply is given for 15 days, then a case is registered against him under Section 138 of Negotiable Instrument Act 1881. Under the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, the person can be prosecuted and the Cheque drawer can be punished for up to two years.

    How long is the Cheque period?

    Cheques, bank drafts are currently valid for 3 months from their issue.

    Why are they valid only for 3 months?

    It is common banking practice to dishonor a Cheque older than 3 months. This practice is for the protection of the person who has written the cheque, as there is a possibility that the payment may have been made through some other means or the Cheque may have been lost or stolen.

    Keep these things in mind before issuing a cheque-

    Whenever you give a Cheque to someone, make sure that you have money in your account.
    Apart from this, the person taking the v should get it cashed within three months.
    Whenever you pay someone with a cheque, avoid giving more space between words and figures regarding the name and amount.
    Whenever you sign a bank cheque, remember that you have to sign in the same way as it is already recorded in the records of the concerned bank branch.

    Whenever you pay someone through a bank cheque, make sure to note down the details of the Cheque like Cheque number, account name, amount and date.
    Always issue account payee cheques.
    The signature on the Cheque should be registered with the bank.
    – Fill in the information on the check carefully and correctly.

  • Kejriwal says even British had never booked those who put up posters against their rule

    Kejriwal says even British had never booked those who put up posters against their rule

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: Lashing out at the Centre over the action against display of “Modi Hatao, Desh Bachao” posters, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday said even the British had never booked those who put up posters against them during the colonial rule.

    “Even before independence when freedom fighters used to put up posters, there were no FIRs or action against them by the British,” Kejriwal said.

    “Bhagat Singh had pasted a lot of posters during the British rule, not a single FIR was lodged against him,” he said.

    Addressing a public meet at Jantar Mantar, the AAP supremo said he has “no objections” about the posters that were put up against him and that those behind the same “should not be arrested”.

    “Why is the prime minister so scared? I saw that posters were put up against me and I do not have any problem with that. There won’t be any FIR or arrest. Some people are taking the country towards dictatorship. Together, we have to save the country’s constitution and democracy, we have to save the country,” Kejriwal asserted.

    He urged the Centre to release those who were arrested in connection with the “Modi hatao, desh bachao” (Remove Modi, Save the Nation) posters.

    The chief minister further said governance gets “complicated” when a leader is “uneducated”.

    “How can a leader who is uneducated make decisions for the country? When a leader is uneducated, governance is bound to get complicated. I want to ask the citizens, do they think an educated prime minister is required to run our country in this 21st century?” he asked.

    Kejriwal also alleged that corruption cases have been “closed” against those leaders who switched to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

    The meeting organised by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) was attended by Kejriwal, his Punjab counterpart Bhagwant Mann, Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai, Education Minister Atishi and AAP MP Sanjay Singh.

    Targeting the central dispensation, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann said the saffron party can be thrown out of power even if it had won two Lok Sabha elections.

    “The Union government has sold the country. They might have won the Lok Sabha elections twice, but they can also be removed from power. One should not be too arrogant. Arvind Kejriwal has always said that no matter which chair you hold, you should always be humble,” Mann said.

    Senior AAP leader Sanjay Singh alleged that the financial situation in the country is in the doldrums due to “rising inflation and unemployment”.

    “We will crush the arrogance of the central government. Inflation is touching new heights, unemployment is rising. Agniveer scheme was another loss for our youths. Farmers are forced to commit suicide. We are working for the betterment of people, but the Centre is working only for (industrialist Gautam) Adani,” he said.

  • British rule ruined India’s education system: RSS chief Bhagwat

    British rule ruined India’s education system: RSS chief Bhagwat

    [ad_1]

    Karnal: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat has accused the British rulers of ruining India’s education system and said “70 percent” of the population was literate before they dominated the country.

    Bhagwat addressed a gathering here on Sunday after inaugurating a multi-specialty hospital at the Aatam Manohar Jain Aradhana Mandir complex.

    “…Before British rulers dominated this country, 70 percent of our population was literate, educated. And on the basis of that education, everyone used to find ways to earn their livelihood and unemployment was almost negligible,” he said.

    “At that time, as per the education system prevalent in England, their literacy rate then was around 17 percent. After the British came, they dumped our education model here but implemented it in their own country…,” the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leader said.

    He said the education system which existed in India when the British started to rule the country not only made people self-reliant and employable, but was also a medium of knowledge. But the British rulers ruined that system, Bhagwat said.

    The RSS chief also stressed on the importance of health and education for all in society, underlining that these should reach everyone and be affordable.

    He claimed that earlier, people used to take to these two sectors as a sense of duty but in the present time, these have become businesses.

    Bhagwat also lauded the work done by Aatam Manohar Muni Ashram.

  • Warren, Whitehouse lead Democrats in pressing Gensler for strong climate rule

    Warren, Whitehouse lead Democrats in pressing Gensler for strong climate rule

    [ad_1]

    The lawmakers say investors are demanding the information — and that Wall Street’s top regulator needs to “issue a strong climate risk disclosure rule as quickly as possible.” They called the idea of preemptively curtailing the rule’s Scope 3 and financial reporting components to head off legal risks “deeply misguided.”

    “The proposed rules are necessary and overdue,” they wrote to Gensler on Sunday, adding that if the SEC waters down the plans the agency “would be failing its duty to protect investors.”

    Among the others who signed the letter are Sens. Martin Heinrich of New Mexico, Jeff Merkley of Oregon, Tina Smith of Minnesota and Cory Booker of New Jersey. Democratic Reps. Jerry Nadler of New York, Katie Porter of California and Chuy García of Illinois also signed on, as did Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, an independent.

    Asked for comment, an SEC spokesperson said in an email that Gensler “responds to Members of Congress directly rather than through the media.”

    Now nearly a year old, the SEC’s proposal has ignited a firestorm in corporate America and among GOP lawmakers. But the Democratic concerns from Capitol Hill about the rule’s future are an early sign of the pushback that the SEC will have to face from the left if the agency elects to ease up.

    The final rule will need to be approved by three of the SEC’s five commissioners, including Gensler.

    Driving the proposal is the SEC’s hope of providing investors with a glimpse — through standardized data and disclosures — into how companies are tackling climate change.

    The threat of litigation has hung over the SEC for months, as industry groups like the National Association of Manufacturers and several state attorneys general have warned that they may look to challenge the rule in court and on the grounds that the SEC overstepped its authority with the rule — especially in looking to include Scope 3 emissions.

    Democrats see Scope 3 as pivotal to the final rule’s success.

    “Not requiring Scope 3 emissions disclosures would enable [fossil fuel companies] and other companies with similar types of emissions patterns to hide the vast majority of their exposure to climate risk from regulators and investors,” the lawmakers wrote. “For many companies and sectors, a greenhouse gas inventory that omits Scope 3 would be materially misleading to investors.”

  • Telangana: Sharmila urges oppn leaders to join her in demand for President’s rule

    Telangana: Sharmila urges oppn leaders to join her in demand for President’s rule

    [ad_1]

    Hyderabad: YSR Telangana Party president Y. S. Sharmila has written to the state presidents of all opposition parties, inviting them to join her in the demand for President’s rule in Telangana.

    Sharmila, in the letter, appealed to the leaders to join her in meeting President Droupadi Murmu in New Delhi and apprising the latter of the worsening law and order situation in the state, where opposition party cadres and leaders were repeatedly being “targeted” by the BRS party “hooligans”, who are given a free hand in “unleashing murderous attacks on those who raised voices against Chief Minister KCR”.

    The letters were personally addressed to state Congress president Revanth Reddy, BJP’s Bandi Sanjay, TDP’s Kasani Gnaneshwar, AIMIM’s Asaduddin Owaisi, TJS leader Kodandaram, BSP leader Praveen Kumar, CPI-M’s Tammineni Veerabhadram, CPI’s Kunamneni Sambasiva Rao, Shankar Goud, and MRPS leader Manda Krishna Madiga.

    Sharmila, who is sister of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, explained the urgent need for opposition parties in Telangana to join hands and set the situation right by ensuring President’s rule is enforced, since the abuse of power and unabated atrocities of BRS government is taking its toll on entire state.

    “Wherever KCR’s corruption and his colleagues’ misdeeds were questioned, there were attacks and use of police power. The state of Telangana that was built on the foundation of sacrifices lies at the crossroads where democracy, right to speech and constitutional privileges were being crushed,” she wrote.

    “We need to rise, join hands and wage this battle for the sake of future generations. This is a historic necessity and so I’m extending this invitation to join me in calling on the President,” she added.

    Sharmila was last month arrested in Mahabubabad and her padyatra was stopped by the police following allegations that she made derogatory comments against the local MLA of BRS.

    The YSRTP leader was earlier arrested in Warangal and her campaign vehicle was damaged in the attack by BRS men.
