US may have 2 Covid vaccines by November end

Two American companies -- Pfizer and Moderna&nbsp;-- expect to apply for emergency approval for their Covid-19 vaccines by late November

Two American companies expect to apply for emergency approval for their Covid-19 vaccines by late November, news agency AFP has reported. The news comes amid a third surge of coronavirus cases in the US where the infections have touched 8 million.

Strangest, weirdest and oddest looking animals on Earth

1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Glass Frog
Jaise ke hum ek glass ke through dekh sakte hai, waise he hum glass frog ke through bhi dekh sakte hai. Ye animal k internal body parts apko bahar se visible honge. Iss specie ke kaafi frogs ki skin, lime-green colour ki hoti hai, but kuch frogs me unki underside me yeh colour nai paya jaata. Iss frog ko dekhne ka best chance hai Costa Rica ya Panama me. Costa Rica ke Tortuguero National Park particularly famous hai being home to the Glass Frogs.
2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Satanic Leaf Tailed Gecko
Yeh creature excel karta hai in camouflaging skills yaani ki bhase badalne me, and we can see why. Iski body and tail ek dried-out, brownish leaf ki tarah dikhti hai. Moreover, hunters ko deceive karne ke liye, iski skin ki veins replicate karti hai like the veins on a leaf. Iski wajah se, iss creature ko wild me spot karna is impossible. But jab yeh creature hunt karta hai to uss time pe uski ye skill use nai hoti, they look like a leaf only when they rest. Iss creature ko abhi tak sirf Madagascar me spot kia gaya hai.
3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Australian Peacock spider
Australian peacock spider jumping spider family ki specie hai and iske naam me peacock isliye ata hai kyuki peacock ki tarah iski body bhi bhaut colourful hai. Peacocks k saath inki ek aur similarity hai which is ki male peacocks ki tarah , male Australian peacock spider bhi dono sexes me se zyada colourful hai. Interestingly, male Australian peacock spider apne extensions use karta hai to attract females to mate, lekin kayi baari female Australian peacock spider , wo hi male Australian peacock spider ko marke kha bhi jaati hai.
4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Blob fish
2013 me, blobfish ko vote kia gaya tha as the Most Hideous specie on Earth in an online poll jisko British-based Ugly Animal Preservation Society ne conduct karwaya tha. Ye fish paani me ek normal fish ki tarah dikhti hai but jab ye marr jati hai to ye apna texture badal leti hai jaise ki aap image me dekh sakte hai. Iss fish me hardly koi bones ya muscles hai, instead iski body primarily gelatin matter se bani hui hai jiski wajah se jelly type dikhti hai, aur yeh fish float karti hai just above the sea floor without using any energy on swimming. Yeh fish spot kari jaati hai in deep waters off the coast of Australia and New Zealand.
5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Markhor
Yeh exotic wild goat ko &lsquo;screw horn goat&rsquo; bhi kaha jaata hai and its easy to see why. Iski sir pe long, cork-screw shaped horns ki wajah se. Unlike many creatures in this list, iss animal ko bachake rakhne ki effort ek success story hai and thanks to tremendous efforts of different stakeholders, iss creature ke numbers 20% badh chuke hai and it is no longer an endangered specie. Markhor aapko Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Himalayas me milenge.
6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Axolotl
Axolotl critically endangered species hai jooke sirf Mexico City ki kuch lakes me paye jaate hai. Inki legs to hoti hai but ye kabhi bhi land pe nai aate, instead yeh paani me hi rehte hai. Iss extraordinary creature ke colours range karte hai from creamy white to olive. Unfortunately, human activities ki wajah se inka habitat lose ho jata hai jiski wajah se inki population decline ho rahi hai and also due to the fact ke ye ek famous sea food bhi hai.
7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Venezuelan Poodle Moth
General consensus yeh hai ke yeh cutest looking moth hai, and we totally agree on that. Yeh moth discover kara gaya tha in Venezuela in 2009 and iski entire body hair se cover hui hui hai which makes it resemble with a dog breed known as poodle. Till date, Venezuela ka Canaima National Park he ek example hai jaha pe ye moth rehta hai. Appearance k ilawa, this is just like any other moth jo humme day to day dikhte hai.
8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Mata mata
Mata Mata Amazon rainforest me paye jaate hai, but you must travel deep into the jungle inko spot karne ke liye. Luckily though, yeh ek freshwater turtle hai jo shallow, freshwater stream me rehte hai. Mata Mata baaki turtles ke comparatively bht lazy and slow maane jaate hai, jahaan pe yeh zyada time idle bethe rehte hai and rarely apne environment se hilte hai. It is really only moving jab eggs lay karne ka time ho. Other than this, yeh creature apna food sirf inhale karti hai instead of biting because of its wide head and weak jaw, jiski wajah se chew karna iske liye impossible hai.
9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Leafy sea dragon
Another animal from the down under, leafy sea dragon paaye jaate hai along the southern and western coasts of Australia. 8-9 inches ki length ki wajah se, yeh animal ek floating seaweed ki tarah lagta hai which provide them an excellent camouflage in the deep sea. Born hote saar he, yeh creature independent ho jate hai and kisi ke saath fir ikhathe tab hote hai jab breed karne ke liye ye ready ho. A fun fact, male seahorses ki tarah, it is the male leafy seadragons jo eggs ki care karte hai.
10.Pangolin
Pangolin ek aisa unique animal hai jo predators se bachne ke liye apne aap ko ek protective ball me roll up kar leta hai, and iski outer scale ek defensive shield ki tarah act karti hai. Yeh ek nocturnal animal hai-yaani ki yeh raat ko he active hota hai and raat ko he yeh ants and termites pe feed karta hai. Unfortunately, yeh animal currently threatened specie hai yaani ki inki ginti year by year kamm ho rai hai due to poaching both for its meat and scales as iski scales traditional chinese medicines me use hoti hai. Iski existence deforestations ki wajah se bhi threatened hai. Pangolin zyada tar Asia and parts of Africa me dikhte hai.

Part of a mission: Rajnath hits out at China amid Ladakh row

After Pakistan, China is also creating a dispute at the border with India as if it was part of a "mission", Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Monday, as Indian and Chinese troops remain locked in a standoff in eastern Ladakh for over five months

Rajnath&nbsp;slams China on Ladakh border dispute Part of China's mission to create dispute: Rajnath 'Major development along the frontiers with China' 44 bridges to improve troop movement: Rajnath

PTI,&nbsp;New Delhi: After Pakistan, China is also creating a dispute at the border with India as if it was part of a "mission", Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Monday, as Indian and Chinese troops remain locked in a standoff in eastern Ladakh for over five months.
The defence minister, speaking at an online event after inaugurating 44 bridges, said India is not only facing the situations along the frontiers resolutely, but it is also bringing in major development including in border areas.
"You are well aware of the conditions created along our northern and eastern borders. First it was Pakistan, and now also by China, as if a border dispute is being created under a mission. We have a border of about 7,000 km with these countries where the tension continues," Singh said.
The defence minister was speaking after inaugurating the bridges built in strategically key areas of Ladakh, Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir.
A majority of these bridges are expected to significantly improve movement of troops in areas along the border with China in Ladakh, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh sectors, officials said.
Both India and China held a series of diplomatic and military talks to resolve the border standoff. However, no breakthrough has been achieved to defuse the situation.
Singh said in the challenging times of COVID-19 and despite the border tensions and disputes caused by Pakistan and China, the country was not only resolutely facing them but also bringing about historical changes in all sectors of development.
The defence minister also laid the foundation stone for Nechiphu Tunnel in Arunachal Pradesh. This 450 metre-long tunnel would ensure all-weather connectivity across Nechiphu pass.
The bridges inaugurated by Singh included 10 in Jammu and Kashmir, eight in Ladakh, two in Himachal Pradesh, four each in Punjab and Sikkim and eight each in Uttarakhand and Arunachal Pradesh.
In his address, Singh complimented the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) for their achievements in improving infrastructure in border areas and said that dedication of 44 bridges in one go in itself was a record.
He said the annual budget of BRO that varied from Rs 3,300 crore to Rs 4,600 crore in years between 2008 and 2016, saw a substantial rise and is pegged at over Rs 11,000 crore in 2020-21.
"There was no reduction of this budget despite COVID-19," he said Singh said construction of the bridges will benefit both the civilian population as well as the military in the areas.
"Our armed forces personnel are deployed in large numbers in areas where transport is not available throughout the year," he said, noting improvement in border infrastructure will significantly help armed forces.
"These roads are not only for strategic needs, but they also reflect equal participation of all stakeholders in the development of the nation," Singh said.
The defence minister praised the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) for working tirelessly even during the coronavirus-triggered lockdown period.
The defence ministry said despite unprecedented snowfall breaking a 60-year record, all strategic passes and roads were cleared for traffic about one month before their average yearly opening dates.
"I am happy to know that over 2,200 kilometers of roads have been cut by the BRO during the last two years, using the latest technologies, and state-of-the-art equipment. Also, surfacing was carried out on about 4200 kms of roads," he added.
Amid the border standoff with China, India is expediting work on several key projects including on a strategic road linking Darcha in Himachal Pradesh with Ladakh that will criss-cross a number of high-altitude snow-bound passes.
The nearly 290-km-long road will be crucial for the movement of troops and heavy weaponry into the frontier bases of the Ladakh region and will provide a crucial link to the Kargil region.&nbsp;

Doctors question AYUSH ministry's Covid-19 cures | BOOM

The Health Ministry has released an official protocol for using ayurveda and yoga for prevention of Covid-19 as well as treatment for mild or no symptoms like sipping hot milk, hot water, yoga, using herbs like Giloy and Guducchi etc. The Indian Medical Association has asked the Health Ministry if there is any evidence to endorse these Covid-19 treatment protocols and if the govt themselves are using ayurveda to prevent or treat the novel coronavirus.
Dr. R V Asokan, Secretary General, Indian Medical Association says that this is concerning on behalf of patients. Any science that is suggested has to be backed by evidence- the standards for inspection and scrutiny for ayurveda and allopathy are not different in India. Currently, there isn't enough transparency in data that can confirm whether ayurveda can work against coronavirus or not. The disease progresses in different ways for many people, it is not sensible to wait for serious symptoms to set in and then act to save someone's life.
He goes on to say that Dr Harsh Vardhan himself has said that available data is empirical. It cannot be accepted for a national protocol. National protocols have 2 important scientific standards - one, the same protocol should be replicable by an unbiased team across the world. Two, it should pass through a double blind controlled study, only post which the treatment or prevention line can be accepted as a national protocol without bias.

'Dawn of new Middle East': Israel, UAE, Bahrain sign deal

Israel, UAE and Bahrain sign Abraham Accord. Trump says 'dawn of a new Middle East'

US President Donald Trump on Tuesday hosted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and foreign ministers of the UAE and Bahrain for the signing of the historic Abraham Accord. It is the first Arab-Israeli peace deal in 26 years. Calling it the dawn of a new Middle East, Trump said that courage of the three leaders will bring a future in which people of all faiths and backgrounds live together in peace and prosperity. The Arab Accord, which is a set of bilateral agreements with Israel, does not mention the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Washington, PTI: US President Donald Trump on Tuesday hosted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and foreign ministers of the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain for the signing of the historic Abraham Accord, which is the first Arab-Israeli peace deal in 26 years.
"We are here this afternoon to change the course of history. After decades of division and conflict we mark the dawn of a new Middle East," Trump said, moments before the accord was signed at the South Lawns of the White House.
The UAE was represented by Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed and Bahrain by Foreign Minister Abdullatif Al Zayani. The Arab Accord -- essentially bilateral agreements with Israel -- does not mention the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
"Thanks to the great courage of the leaders of these three countries we take a major stride towards a future in which people of all faiths and backgrounds live together in peace and prosperity," Trump said.
The president pointed out that these were the only two peace deals between Israel and the Arab States in more than a quarter of a century. Egypt was the first Arab State to sign a peace deal with Israel in 1979. Jordon signed a peace pact in 1994.
"Now we have achieved two in a single month and there are more to follow," Trump said.
As per the agreements, the UAE and Bahrain will establish embassies, exchange ambassadors, cooperate and work together with Israel across a range of sectors, including tourism, trade, healthcare and security. "They are friends. The Abraham Accords also open the door for Muslims around the world to visit the historic sites in Israel and to peacefully pray at Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, the third holiest site in Islam," Trump said, amidst applause and cheer from more than 200 invited guests.
Together these agreements will serve as the foundation for comprehensive peace across the entire region, Trump said.
Netanyahu described the accord as a "pivot of history", heralding a new dawn. "For thousands of years the Jewish people have prayed for peace. For decades, the Jewish state has prayed for peace and this is why today we are filled with such profound gratitude," he said.
"You have heard from the president that he has already lined up more and more countries. This was unimaginable a few years ago. But with resolve, determination, a fresh look at the way peace is done, this is being achieved," Netanyahu said.
Netanyahu said Israel is eager to invest in a future of prosperity, and peace.
"We've already begun to cooperate on combating coronavirus and I am sure that together we can find solutions to many of the problems that afflict our region and beyond," he said.
Foreign Minister Zayed said the UAE is witnessing a change in the Middle-East, one that gives hope around the world.

"President Trump was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of his work in brokering an Israel-United Arab Emirates peace deal. It was a historic deal and the first such deal in over two decades. This is a hard-earned and well-deserved honour for this President," White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said on Wednesday.
President Trump has made peace a cornerstone of his recent foreign policy efforts, she said.
Any lawmaker serving in a national legislature can nominate a person for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Tybring-Gjedde was one of two Norwegian lawmakers who nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2018 for his efforts to bring reconciliation between North Korea and South Korea. The 2018 prize was won by Denis Mukwege from Congo and Nadia Murad from Iraq for their efforts to end the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war and armed conflict.
In his nomination letter on Wednesday, Tybring-Gjedde, a member of the Norwegian Parliament for the far-right Progress Party, also cited Trump's &ldquo;key role in facilitating contact between conflicting parties and &hellip; creating new dynamics in other protracted conflicts, such as the Kashmir border dispute between India and Pakistan, and the conflict between North and South Korea, as well as dealing with the nuclear capabilities of North Korea,&rdquo; the Fox News reported.
Trump has repeatedly in the past offered to mediate between India and Pakistan on the Kashmir issue. However, India has maintained that the Kashmir issue is a bilateral one and no third party has any role.
McEnany said that the president's foreign policy will always be one of peace through strength, and that is what the American people are seeing abroad.
"Career politicians merely talk about the kind of results this president has achieved on the world stage," she said.
"These wins are possible because of the President's leadership and outsider perspective. President Trump addresses old challenges with new solutions and delivers results for the American people," she said.
Highlighting Trump's initiatives, McEnany said that the US has announced a drawdown of troops in Iraq from 5,200 to 3,000.
"We've secured better trade deals for the American worker. President Trump negotiated the USMCA (United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement), the U.S.-South Korea deal; ended the Trans-Pacific Partnership; brought back manufacturing jobs," she said. "President Trump has stood up to China: the phase one China deal; also tariffs to hold China accountable; and actions to block Huawei," she said.
President Trump has also defeated terrorists. The ISIS caliphate is destroyed. Al-Baghdadi is no longer on the battlefield, along with Iranian General Soleimani, she said.
He has also brokered economic normalisation between Serbia and Kosovo, a major breakthrough in this decades-old conflict, McEnany added.&nbsp;

Govt's strategy is 'self-defeating': Raghuram Rajan

Former RBI&nbsp;Governor Raghuram Rajan&nbsp;on Monday said that the 23.9% drop in the&nbsp;GDP&nbsp;should alarm us all. He pointed out that the contraction in India is even&nbsp;worse than a drop of 12.4% in Italy and 9.5% in the US, two of the most Covid-affected countries.
Rajan said the government&rsquo;s strategy to conserve resources today for a possible future stimulus is 'self-defeating'. The government&nbsp;needs to be frightened out of their complacency and take meaningful action.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The eminent&nbsp;economist&nbsp;stressed that the recent pick-up in sectors like auto is not an evidence of the much-awaited&nbsp;V-shaped recovery. "It reflects pent-up demand, which will fade as we go down to the true level of demand in the damaged, partially-functioning, economy," he noted.
He also suggested that reforms can be a form of stimulus, and even if not carried out immediately, a timeline to undertake them can boost current investor sentiment. "The world will recover earlier than India, so exports can be a way for India to grow,"&nbsp;he said.
