A 4-minute-long film begins with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's speech where he announced a nationwide lockdown on the night of March 24. From Delhi's Red Fort to Himachal's Spiti valley, and from Mumbai's Marine Drive to Kerala's Kovalam beach, all the major attractions of the country remained deserted this year and the film captures the very stillness of these places with the use of over 100 drones. The filmmaker had devoted a team of 117 people to shoot the film across 14 states, covering thousands of kilometres, to document this watershed moment of India's history.

Hitting out at Nitish&nbsp;Kumar, the&nbsp;Leader of Opposition in the Bihar Assembly asserted that the issue of migrants&nbsp;would be a major issue in the assembly polls slated for later this year.&nbsp;Tejashwi&nbsp;said he is hopeful that all like-minded parties who are driven by the ideology of pro-constitutional supremacy and pro-poor would come under one umbrella and fight the &lsquo;divisive and a failed government of 15 years&rsquo; in the state.&nbsp;

Six officials of the Enforcement Directorate have tested positive for coronavirus and the headquarters of the probe agency has been sealed for two days, reports said.

As discussions are being held for safely holding the US Open in New York which is a Covid-19 epicentre, the organisers have listed some strict measures&nbsp;that&nbsp;will have to be followed if the Grand Slam event goes ahead in August. World No 1 Novak&nbsp;Djokovic&nbsp;on Friday expressed his concerns about the feasibility of the event.&nbsp;While the 33-year-old understands the financial reasons&nbsp;of the organisers he said that the suggestions were extremely rigorous and went on to say that we should not resume until it is safe.

As Spanish football returns from the forced Covid-19 break, Barcelona has got some headache after their star Lionel Messi picked up a thigh muscle injury and missed training on Friday. The rest of the squad trained but Messi&nbsp;was missing from action. According to reports, the Argentine trained separately but this will give the Barcelona management plenty to worry about. Messi&nbsp;missed 2 months of pre-season training last year due to a calf injury and this time he is taking precautions to not aggravate his thigh muscle issues.&nbsp;

The Delhi govt has dismissed media reports on shortage of hospital beds in the Capital claiming that close to 5,000 beds are lying vacant. Health minister Satyendra Jain said: "In the last three days, more than 1,000 patients have been admitted to various hospitals in Delhi. If beds were not available, this would have not been possible. Even now we have close to 5,000 vacant beds." HE added that the issue was that some hospitals are not updating the data on the app that tracks hospital beds.

The Covid-19 transmission rate, or the number of people getting infected by an already infected person, has been going down steadily in India. The Indian Express has reported that it is now the lowest since it began to be calculated early in the outbreak. India's transmission rate stood 1.83 at the beginning of the lockdown in March, which means that every 100 infected people were transmitting the disease to another 183 individuals. Due to the lockdown, this number declined to 1.49 and has now further declined to 1.22, the report said.
