Delhi to bid for 2048 Olympics, says CM Kejriwal

Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal&nbsp;on Tuesday launched &ldquo;Delhi@2047&rdquo; initiative&nbsp;that aims to turn the Capital into a global city by 2047. The initiative will&nbsp;support government's partnerships with corporates and citizen groups to work towards policies and strategies for the development of the capital.
Addressing a video conference involving policymakers, Kejriwal said that the&nbsp;long term goals include increasing Delhi&rsquo;s per-capita income to match that of Singapore and bidding for hosting the Olympic Games in 2048.
Kejriwal&nbsp;said that several sectors in Delhi, such as education, health, power and public services, have witnessed good growth and improvement over the years. However, several sectors need more work in the days to come.&nbsp;
Kejriwal&nbsp;further said that the goal of a 24x7 supply of water across the city needs to be accomplished immediately.

The death of 21 people in a span of 78 hours at Delhi's Jaipur&nbsp;Golden hospital during the second wave of Covid-19 pandemic is still fresh in the memory.&nbsp; But in a status report filed before a Delhi court on Tuesday, the Delhi police have stated that the&nbsp;death of 21 Covid patients at Jaipur Golden Hospital&nbsp;in April was not caused due to shortage of oxygen. The Indian Express reported that the Delhi Police made the shocking&nbsp;claim even as the&nbsp;hospital told the court that during the relevant time period, oxygen supply was not refilled for 39 hours, which &ldquo;resulted in a crisis situation&rdquo;.
The hospital management also stated that the average mortality per day before and after the incident was only two and three respectively, which increased to 21 within a span of 7-8 hours. Family members of the deceased had approached the court&nbsp;claiming that the hospital management should be punished, and alleged that police, with mala fide intention, have neither arrested nor set up an inquiry against them.

Amid the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the&nbsp;Centre on Tuesday said India&rsquo;s R value or reproductive number, which is an indicator of how fast the cornavirus pandemic&nbsp;is spreading, is more than 1 in eight states. The ministry of health said the R value was higher in states including&nbsp;Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Tamil Nadu and Kerala.
An R-value above 1 means more than one person is being infected, on an average, by an already-infected person, and that leads to a surge in cases.
The Centre pointed out that in the last week, 49.85 per cent of the total Covid-19 cases reported in the country were reported from Kerala. In India, the R-value was declining until the last week of June but in the subsequent period, between June 20 and July 7, it moved up significantly.&nbsp;

Hours after&nbsp;India and China issued a joint statement saying they would continue Commander-level military talks to deescalate tensions in eastern Ladakh,&nbsp;Chinese online users have released footage of the clashes which took place between Indian and Chinese soldiers in the Galwan Valley in Ladakh in June last year. The footage shows Chinese soldiers throwing stones at Indian soldiers from heights above the bend of the Galwan river. The clip also shows a few Chinese soldiers adrift in the shallow, fast-flowing river and soldiers of both sides amassed. 20 Indian officers and men were killed in the clashes, the worst since the 1962 war. China says it lost four soldiers, a claim that army sources strongly dispute.

The Editors of Guild of India has moved the Supreme Court with a public interest litigation seeking a court monitored probe by a Special Investigation Team into the Pegasus snooping row.&nbsp;
Challenging the Constitutional powers of the government for authorising such interception, the PIL has sought SC directives to the Centre to show the orders produced authorising monitoring &amp; hacking of electronic devices of Indian citizens under the relevant law.
The PIL seeks a list of all those monitored in such a way and the reason behind the said surveillance, along with details of those who selected the citizens to be monitored and those who authorised the monitoring.&nbsp;
"The citizens of India have a right to know if the Executive government is infringing the limits of their authority under the Constitution," the Guild submitted in its plea.&nbsp;
The PIL has also sought details of all agreements the Centre has entered with foreign companies for the purchase of surveillance tools for use on Indian citizens with straightforward answers on the purchase of spyware from the NSO Group.&nbsp;
The journalistic body told the top court that the government has avoided public debate on the issue with obfuscated answers and all attempts to seek accountability trough Parliamentary processes have been stonewalled.&nbsp;
This is the 4th PIL in the top court in relation to the Pegasus snooping. Rajya Sabha MP John Brittas, journalists N Ram and Sashi Kumar and advocate ML Sharma had also approached the court. A bench led by Chief Justice of India will consider a judicial probe into the matter on August 5th.&nbsp;

Former Foreign Secretary Vijay&nbsp;Gokhale&nbsp;has launched scathing allegations against the left parties in his recently launched book. According to Gokhale,&nbsp;China's involvement in Indian domestic politics stems from its 'close connection' with the left parties in India.&nbsp;He mentioned this specifically regarding opposition&nbsp;to the Indo-US nuclear deal between 2007 and 2008.
Vijay Gokhale&rsquo;s new book, The Long Game: How the Chinese Negotiate with India, talks about dealing with China in the Ministry of External Affairs in 2007-09, when the deal was being negotiated.&nbsp;
Vijay&nbsp;Gokhale has served as India&rsquo;s ambassador to China and in January 2018, he replaced S Jaishankar as foreign secretary and retired last year.

An 11-year-old Indian-American girl has been judged as one of the brightest students in the world. A top US university has ranked Natasha Peri for her exceptional performance in the SAT and ACT standardised tests.
Peri, a student at Thelma L Sandmeier Elementary School in New Jersey, has been honoured for her exceptional performance on the SAT, ACT, or similar assessment taken as part of the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth Talent Search, a statement said on Monday.
She was one of nearly 19,000 students from 84 countries who joined CTY in the 2020-21 Talent Search year. CTY uses above-grade-level testing to identify advanced students from around the world and provide a clear picture of their true academic abilities.
Peri took the Johns Hopkins Talent Search test in Spring 2021, when she was in Grade 5. Her results in the verbal and quantitative sections levelled with the 90th percentile of advanced Grade 8 performance.
Both the Scholastic Assessment Test and American College Testing are standardised tests that many colleges use to determine whether to accept a student for admission.
All colleges require students to take either the SAT or the ACT and submit their scores to their prospective universities.
