Shillong night curfew lifted after 80 days
The East Khasi Hills district administration on Monday lifted night curfew from Meghalaya capital Shillong in view of improvement in the law and order situation.The curfew was imposed 80 days ago on June 1, a day after a quarrel over the parking of a bus in Punjabi Lane or Harijan Colony snowballed into a communal stand-off between the Dalit Sikhs of the area and local tribal people.“The night curfew has been completely lifted. We wanted to continue the night curfew till August 15, but waited for clearance from the police before issuing an official notification today (Monday),” East Khasi Hills deputy commissioner P.S. Dkhar told The Hindu.Harijan Colony and 13 surrounding localities had been under total curfew since June 1. The daytime curfew in these localities was gradually reduced before being lifted a month later. Senior police officers in Shillong, however, said security personnel will continue to guard vulnerable areas. This follows intelligence inputs that miscreants might target Harijan Colony, a prime area in the heart of the city, again.Developers and local politicians have allegedly been eyeing the colony to set up a shopping complex. There have been attempts to evict the Dalit Sikhs who the British had brought from Punjab as sanitation workers in the 1850s.
Liquor tycoon Vijay Mallya, who had been out on bail since his arrest in April, was arrested for the second time and released on bail once again in London on Oct. 3. Mallya’s arrest took place in connection with the second money laundering case filed by India’s Enforcement Directorate, according to a statement by UK’s Crown Prosecution Service.Mallya will appear before the Westminster Magistrate’s Court in London on Oct. 3. The Crown Prosecution Service will argue on behalf of the Indian government. India had made an extradition request in February to the UK to make Mallya face trial in the country. The request was followed with a 2,000 page dossier as evidence against him. Mallya was arrested for the first time on April 18 by the Scotland Yard, but got bail within three hours.Mallya submitted an elaborate response to India’s request last month. The extradition case will now be taken up on Dec. 4. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED), which handles financial crimes, are clubbing their cases against him to strengthen the case for extradition. Mallya has at least half a dozen warrants against him in India.The 61-year-old businessman, who has been living in the United Kingdom for more than a year now, is accused of foreign exchange violation, debt recovery and embezzlement in India. His now defunct Kingfisher Airlines allegedly owes over Rs 9,000 crore to a consortium of 17 Indian banks.Mallya was earlier this year fired from the board of United Breweries, the firm which was at the core of his business empire.The businessman has dismissed the charges leveled against him, saying in interviews to media that cancelling his passport “won’t help them bring their money back” and that he was getting familiar with “witch hunts coming from all directions with no legal basis”. He has made numerous public appearances at sporting events, especially for the Formula One races as he owns a team.

“He improves and develops his game,” Thiem said. “I mean, if he wouldn’t do that, for sure he wouldn’t have that success every year in this tournament.”As down as Nadal might have felt, he was not going to give up.“He had an unbelievable attitude in those bad moments, and that’s what took him here today,” said Nadal’s coach, Carlos Moya, the 1998 French Open champion. “Hats off to what he’s done this month and a half, because it’s easy to play well when all the things are working well. But what he’s been through these last couple of months is showing what a competitor he is and mentally that he’s a genius.”Nadal’s next tournament will be Wimbledon, where play begins in three weeks. He won’t enter a grass-court tuneup event, figuring that time off to rest is what he needs more than anything else.Inevitably, a reporter brought up the topic of chasing Federer, now that he’s so close behind.And just as inevitably, Nadal played down such talk.Did it charmingly, too.“I never tried to think about, ‘Well, I’m going to catch Roger’ or not. Being honest, I am not very worried about this stuff, no?” Nadal said. “You can’t be frustrated all the time because the neighbor has a bigger house than you or a bigger TV or better garden. That’s not the way that I see the life, you know.”A moment later, he went on: “If, at the end of my career, I am able to win a couple of more Grand Slams and be closer to Roger, (it) will be unbelievable. If not, for me, still unbelievable, no?”Nadal said Federer’s record was the last thing on his mind before he was asked about it. This time, it was Nadal who was filled with real worry. He entered May without a title, the first season since 2004 that happened to him. He missed the end of last season with a bad right knee, needed offseason ankle surgery, then pulled out of a match in March because the knee flared up again. The health concerns, which long had cropped up, were now piling up.“Too many issues the last 18 months. So that’s makes these last few weeks very, very special,” Nadal was able to say Sunday night.FEATURED STORIESSPORTSPrivate companies step in to help SEA Games hostingSPORTSPalace wants Cayetano’s PHISGOC Foundation probed over corruption chargesSPORTSSingapore latest to raise issue on SEA Games food, logistics“Mentally, I was down. Physically and mentally,” he said, rapping his right fingers on his temple. “But for me, I always put more attention on the mental side.”All of that angst he spoke about seemed so irrelevant to anyone watching Nadal as he took a tight final against Dominic Thiem and tore it open, quickly as can be, taking 11 straight points to open the third set and 12 of the last 14 games for a 6-3, 5-7, 6-1, 6-1victory. That gave Nadal a 12th trophy at Roland Garros and 18 major championships in all, just two behind Roger Federer’s record for men.But here might be the biggest lesson for Nadal himself, and for those who follow, and talk about, tennis: Stop thinking Nadal can’t keep coming back and can’t keep adding to his resume.Because he will do whatever it takes to not only stay where he is, but also to get better.Just one example: Nadal has long been thought of as the ultimate baseliner, someone who will get to every ball back there and wallop it back over the net. Yet there he was in Court Philippe Chatrier, showing off a less-appreciated aspect of his game, by volleying impeccably and winning 23 of 27 points when he moved forward.He’s constantly putting the work to adjust a stroke or element of strategy.ADVERTISEMENT Spain’s Rafael Nadal celebrates his record 12th French Open tennis tournament title after winning his men’s final match against Austria’s Dominic Thiem in four sets, 6-3, 5-7, 6-1, 6-1, at the Roland Garros stadium in Paris, Sunday, June 9, 2019. (AP Photo/Jean-Francois Badias)PARIS — This time, about a month out, even Rafael Nadal had his doubts about what his chances were going to be for yet another French Open title.He wasn’t alone. But that part was nothing new: Folks have been questioning him for years, wondering when his body would break down for good, when his impossible-to-believe run of success at Roland Garros would stop, when someone new would come along with the skill, strength and stamina to knock the crown off the King of Clay’s head.ADVERTISEMENT Two-day strike in Bicol fails to cripple transport DA eyes importing ‘galunggong’ anew Cayetano asks Robredo, opposition to stop ‘politicizing’ drug war PLAY LIST 01:42Cayetano asks Robredo, opposition to stop ‘politicizing’ drug war02:24Sotto urges Robredo to accept antidrug post03:41PDEA chief: Albayalde asked me not to implement dismissal order vs Pampanga cops02:42PH underwater hockey team aims to make waves in SEA Games01:44Philippines marks anniversary of massacre with calls for justice01:19Fire erupts in Barangay Tatalon in Quezon City01:07Trump talks impeachment while meeting NCAA athletes02:49World-class track facilities installed at NCC for SEA Games02:11Trump awards medals to Jon Voight, Alison Krauss LATEST STORIES Don’t miss out on the latest news and information. ‘Rebel attack’ no cause for concern-PNP, AFP Private companies step in to help SEA Games hosting View comments Duterte wants probe of SEA Games mess Catholic schools seek legislated pay hike, too What was he thinking about, then?“Here I am, at the age of 33, enjoying, playing good tennis,” Nadal said, “and let’s see for how long I am able to manage and to continue this.”Sports Related Videospowered by AdSparcRead Next Cayetano: Senate, Drilon to be blamed for SEA Games mess MOST READ Ethel Booba twits Mocha over 2 toilets in one cubicle at SEA Games venue Sign of the times: Vettel furious as Hamilton wins in Canada
Promising batsman Lokesh Rahul’s 110 not out went in vain as West Indies managed to defeat India by one run in the nail-biting first T20 International at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground here on Saturday. (Match Scorecard)With India needing 2 runs from the final ball, West Indian all-rounder Dwayne Bravo kept his nerves to dismiss Mahendra Singh Dhoni (43) with a slower one to take the Caribbean side home. (KL Rahul joins Suresh Raina, Rohit Sharma in elite company)Chasing a mammoth 246, Rahul struck the second fastest century in T20 Internationals to guide India to an almost improbable win before the last ball twist changed the fortunes of the men in blue. (Heartbreak for Lokesh Rahul as record ton goes in vain)With the century, the Karnataka batsman has now become the third Indian to score a century in all three formats of the game. (Dhoni heartbroken after one-run defeat in 489-run thriller)The 24-year-old Rahul, who was preferred over regular opener Shikhar Dhawan for the match, made the most of the opportunity, bringing up 89 runs for the third wicket with Rohit Sharma (62) before almost guiding the team to victory with a 107-run stand with Dhoni. (MS Dhoni surpasses Ricky Ponting’s captaincy record)EARLY WICKETS DENT INDIAEarlier, India were off to a disappointing start losing the key wickets of opener Ajinkya Rahane (7) and Test skipper Virat Kohli (16) cheaply, until Sharma was joined by Rahul and their 89-run stand for the third wicket provided momentum for the chase.The Mumbai batsman’s innings was laced with four boundaries and as many sixes, including the three consecutive maximums off tweaker Sunil Narine, before being caught by Johnson Charles at deep midwicket off Keiron Pollard in the 12th over.advertisementSkipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni then joined Rahul, who by now got to his half century off 26 balls and the duo took the attack to the opposition.West Indies also paid the price for giving Rahul another chance on 38 when skipper Carlos Brathwaite dropped him at long off off Andre Russell.Both the right-handers were at their lethal best with Dhoni bringing the asking rate down with two sixes off Russel in the 17th over while Rahul got one more to take India to 213/3.With India needing 33 from the last three, Rahul got to his century with a brilliant six and then struck a four off the very next ball.DHONI FAILS TO FINISHBut all the drama was stored for the last over, in which India managed to score six out of the required eight runs, before Dhoni, who survived a catch on the first ball, was caught at short third-man on the final ball.Earlier, riding on opener Evin Lewis’ century, West Indies posted 245/6 after being sent in to bat, in what is the US’s only International Cricket Council (ICC) recognised cricket stadium.The carnage started from the word go as the opening duo of Johnson Charles (79) and Lewis clobbered pacer Mohammed Shami for a six and two fours in the opening over.The Indian bowlers had no answer to the onslaught launched by the West Indians with Charles being the more aggressive of the two.Shami, who was recalled for his second spell, finally managed to bring the onslaught to a halt by removing Charles with a full length delivery that rocked his off-stump.LEWIS, CHARLES ONSLAUGHTCharles’ 33-ball knock was laced with six boundaries and seven massive sixes and his partnership with Lewis produced 126 runs.The dismissal of Charles brought in all-rounder Andre Russell, who was promoted to keep the run-rate soaring.Playing his second ever T20I, Lewis, who till now was playing second fiddle, began his attack, getting to his 50 off 25 balls with four boundaries and three sixes.The southpaw mauled seamer Stuart Binny for five consecutive sixes in the 11th over to propel the Caribbean side to the 150-run mark, while reaching the three-figure mark himself of 47 balls with a single from Jadeja before being dismissed in the same over. His 49-ball knock included five fours and nine huge sixes while his partnership for the second wicket with Russell yielded 78 runs.Jadeja brought the smiles back on the faces of Indian fans by trapping Russell plumb in front in the same over but not before the West Indies crossed the 200-run mark.Skipper Carlos Brathwaite (14) and veteran Keiron Pollard (22) then continued the fireworks in the middle with a 31-run stand before Brathwaite fell prey to Jasprit Bumrah’s brilliant presence of mind to be run out on the first ball of the final over.advertisementMarlon Samuels (1) and Dwayne Bravo (1) then survived the last ball with a single, but it was enough for the West Indies to get to the third highest T20I total and third highest overall score.Both the teams will face off in the second and final match of the series at the same venue on Sunday.Brief Scores: West Indies 245/6 (Evin Lewis 100, Johnson Charles 79, Andre Russell 22, Jadeja 2/39, Bumrah 2/47) vs India 244/4 (Lokesh Rahul 110 not out, Rohi Sharma 62, Mahendra Singh Dhoni 43, Dwayne Bravo 2/37)
Englishman Jos Buttler, whose 37-ball 77 helped Mumbai Indians gun down the steep 199-run target set by Kings XI Punjab, said the wicket was perfect for his kind of stroke play.Mumbai Indians rode on Buttler and young Nitish Rana to thrash KXIP by eight wickets in their Indian Premier League 2017 encounter in Indore on Thursday.Buttler’s innings, which was laced with seven fours and five huge sixes and Rana’s unbeaten 34-ball 62, comprising seven mammoth punches over the rope, outshone South African star Hashim Amla’s maiden T20 century for KXIP, as the visitors overhauled the massive target of 199, with more than four overs to spare.”Found really good touch in the tournament, been desperate to kick on, nice to put in a contribution. Striking the ball well, it’s a small ground and a fantastic wicket,” said Buttler, who was adjudged the man-of-the-match.”Luckily we won the toss, you’d think 200 was a really good score. I think today, chasing that kind of total was great for me because I could go from ball one without thinking.Buttler said it was a satisfying knock for him as he was desperate to get back among the runs.”I have put a lot of pressure on myself, trying too hard to score the runs. Today, when you’re chasing a big score, you can relax and play your shots. Keep a still base and do the rest,” he added.
NEW YORK — A Federal judge put the NFL on the defensive over its four-game suspension of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady on Aug. 12, demanding to know what evidence directly links Brady to deflating footballs and belittling the drama of the controversy.“What is the direct evidence that implicates Mr. Brady?” Judge Richard M. Berman repeatedly asked NFL lawyer Daniel L. Nash at the first hearing in the civil case in Manhattan Federal Court as Brady and Commissioner Roger Goodell looked on.Nash responded there was “considerable evidence Mr. Brady clearly knew about this,” including records of text messages and phone calls between the quarterback and one of two Patriots employees implicated in the scandal known as “Deflategate.”But he also said there was no “smoking gun” showing Brady had direct knowledge that the balls were underinflated for the first half of the Patriots’ 45-7 win over the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC championship game Jan. 18.Brady and Goodell didn’t speak during the hearing, except to introduce themselves to Berman. Brady, his head lowered, looked dour throughout a hearing that lasted about 1 hour, 20 minutes.Immediately afterward, Brady smiled slightly as he signed sketches for two court artists. Berman then met individually with each side for more settlement discussions in private. The talks continued for several hours into the afternoon.Two weeks ago, the NFL asked Berman to declare that its punishment of Brady was properly carried out.The players’ union countersued, asking him to nullify the suspension. The judge has signaled from the start that he wants the parties to reach a swift settlement.Berman called it “ironic or not” that Brady’s statistics were better in the second half of the AFC championship game, after the balls were re-inflated. “You might say (Brady) got no better advantage from the under-inflation,” the judge said.At one point, the judge also seemed to try to defuse the controversy, saying: “This Deflategate. I’m not sure where the ‘gate’ comes from.”When the union got its chance to argue, the judge asked attorney Jeffrey L. Kessler why one of the Patriots employees would deflate balls without Brady’s knowledge.Kessler said the union does not believe the balls were deflated but, if they were, the employee did it on his own because he “thought it would be good for his quarterback.”The judge also questioned why Brady destroyed his cellphone in the midst of the inquiry — a move that the league argues was further proof of his deception.Kessler claimed that the quarterback got rid of the phone on the advice of his agent to protect his privacy but had otherwise cooperated with the inquiry.However, in hindsight, “You’re right, it could have been done a different way,” the lawyer said of the phone.Both sides are scheduled to return to court next week.As Goodell arrived at the courthouse, he was greeted by a smattering of boos as he walked inside. Four minutes later, Brady arrived flanked by four security guards. Both men went through a security sweep like everyone else going to court.Dozens of fans and journalists waited for two of the NFL’s most famous faces at the front entrance of the courthouse, including some fans wearing deflated football hats they were hoping to sell.Goodell suspended Brady after concluding he “knew about, approved of, consented to, and provided inducements and rewards” to support a scheme in which a Patriots employee deflated balls on game day. Brady insists he knew nothing about it.In a July 28 decision upholding the suspension, Goodell heavily criticized Brady for having an aide destroy a cellphone containing nearly 10,000 text messages from a four-month stretch including the AFC championship game.He accused him of obstructing the NFL probe about a controversy that represented “conduct detrimental to the integrity of, and public confidence in, the game of professional football.”In court documents, the union’s lawyers said the suspension was unfair and violated the labor contract and complained that it would cause irreparable harm to Brady by forcing him to miss games.They called a June appeal hearing before Goodell “a Kangaroo ourt proceeding, bereft of fundamentally fair procedures.”___By Tom Hays and Larry Neumeister.

West Indies cricket team Share via Email Cricket Read more Mitchell Starc mauls West Indies in gutsy World Cup win for Australia Share on Facebook Since you’re here… Australia sport Australia cricket team Support The Guardian Topics Share on Messenger No one thinks of Nathan Coulter-Nile first. When Australian cricket supporters woke up on the morning of their World Cup match against the West Indies, no one was drawn from sleep by curiosity about what Coulter-Nile would do that day.When the West Indies did their planning, they wouldn’t have had Coulter-Nile as the first subject on the whiteboard. Or the fifth. He might have scraped into the top 11. Australian selectors tend to think of him 14th, maybe 15th. He has been in more squads than he has played internationals. Sometimes he nudges his way up to 12th man. Every potential run in the team has been derailed by injury. Another hamstring, a calf, more soft-tissue problems than the Sorbent puppy. A shoulder rebuild, a back problem, one of the parade of ailments that shadow the contortions of fast bowlers.Every comeback was followed by a maybe, a possibly. Another squad, another mention as one of the next in line. Somewhere along that line. A conveyor belt that never delivered. Walking up the down escalator.For a long time he was a back-up for raw pace. When injury eroded that quality he became a back-up for white-ball smarts. He was athletic in the field and could give the ball a biff.He was able to sneak in the occasional game. His T20 debut for Australia was at the start of 2013, playing with Adam Voges, George Bailey, Ben Rohrer and Clint McKay. His ODI debut at the end of that year was captained by Michael Clarke, his bowling tended by a young new wicketkeeper named Matthew Wade.In the seven years between then and the current World Cup he managed 26 one-day games. Never a Test, despite often popping up in conversation. Conversation was where he did his best work; he came into them the same way he came in as a batsman, towards the tail end and without huge effect.Throughout those years there was always a premier trio of fast bowlers. Johnson, Harris and Siddle. Johnson, Starc and Pattinson. Hazlewood, Starc and Cummins. And somewhere behind them, somewhere in a squad or in the reckoning or in a fitness test or in the gym – gee, that Nathan Coulter-Nile looks a prospect at some stage, doesn’t he?Across white-ball formats through 2018 and 2019 he started stringing games together. Starc was often injured, Cummins often rested. Coulter-Nile became the more consistent name on the team sheet. But still one that felt like a back-up, one holding a place.Meanwhile, the team around him kept crumbling. The batting in a T20 series in the United Arab Emirates was disassembled by Pakistan. The same in both formats against South Africa and India at home. Then the start of the 2019 tour to India.But something else was happening. All those bowling injuries can leave a person time to work on their batting. So a steady selection was also becoming a steady presence with the blade.In Abu Dhabi last October, Australia was 6 for 22 when Coulter-Nile came in. He made 34 and top scored. In Dubai days later it was 6 for 73, and he made the second-best score with 27. A November game in Melbourne was 6 for 74 when he clouted 18 to be third-best on the night.In the 50-over form, while South Africa were bowling out Australia for 152 in Perth (and how long ago does that seem?), Coulter-Nile came in at 7 for 89 to top score with 34. Against India in Hyderabad in March it was 6 for 173 when he made 28 to drag Australia towards respectability.Respectability was what he kept offering. Rather than holding a place he was holding a team together.He did his job with the ball – 10 wickets in five ODIs in Asia this year, seven wickets in four in 2018. But it was bat that mattered when the World Cup came around and the West Indies reduced Australia to 6 for 147. There were 19 overs to go when Coulter-Nile arrived. He had to make the most of them. And did, swatting his highest score in any professional match to end on 92.He changed the mood as soon he came in. Oshane Thomas had been bowling short and sharp and fierce deliveries all day, but did the sensible thing and pitched up to the lower order. Coulter-Nile squeezed out a yorker to third man for four, then whipped off his pads for the same. Steve Smith at the other end was reassured, so played a supporting hand as the shots kept coming.At the crease, Coulter-Nile has the most casual stance. He could be an American who’s been roped in for a park match. He stands completely upright, the backlift just left there like a discarded shirt on the floor. At the last moment he dips his knees into a bit more of a batsman’s configuration, then swings through.

Even the off-spinner Ashley Nurse tried to bounce him, and Coulter-Nile pulled hard and flat to deep midwicket to be dropped by Shimron Hetmyer. It was his only life, and the Australian already had 61 on the board.When the West Indies bounced back with a scarcely believable boundary catch by Sheldon Cottrell to dismiss Smith, ending a hundred partnership from 88 balls, Coulter-Nile just kept going on his own, drop-kicking sixes. A century wasn’t to be, held on the straight boundary in the second-last over as the rush continued. But two points on the World Cup table were much more valuable. He had given Australia enough of a total to keep the West Indies 14 runs short.For once, coming into this World Cup, Coulter-Nile was firmly in the top three, designated to do the pace job with Starc and Cummins. And while there wasn’t reward with the ball, the bit-part player for so long was still the most important on the day. After years of waiting, Coulter-Nile became the man Australia needed.

AUSTIN, TX – OCTOBER 13: Zach Shackelford #56 of the Texas Longhorns and Elijah Rodriguez #72 huddle before the game against the Baylor Bears at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium on October 13, 2018 in Austin, Texas. (Photo by Tim Warner/Getty Images)Texas football has plenty of talent entering the 2019 season, and a bona fide star quarterback in Sam Ehlinger. The running back position is a major issue due to injuries, though. Things have gotten so dire, that freshman quarterback Roschon Johnson is now playing emergency running back.Earlier in the week, Tom Heman said that the “level of concern is high” with the position. Keaontay Ingram and Jordan Whittington are a talented duo that are ready to go against Louisiana Tech on Saturday, but they are the only two scholarship backs healthy.Kirk Johnson is out with a clavicle injury, while Daniel Young has an ankle injury. Neither is on the Week 1 depth chart.Enter Roschon Johnson, a four-star member of Texas’ 2019 class and the No. 6 dual-threat quarterback in the class.It doesn’t sound like there are any plans to make that position change a permanent thing, but right now he is the “break glass in case of emergency” option in the backfield. To his credit, it sounds like he has embraced the situation and is doing whatever he needs to help the team.His teammates certainly appreciate it. From 247Sports:“Pretty much just poured his heart out to us was like, ‘You know what, I’ll play any position,’” (OL Zach) Shackelford said. “Just a ton of respect for Roschon for doing that because it’s not easy to do — coming out of high school playing one position and switching to the other — but he’s going to do great things.”[…]“I think he’s done a tremendous job,” Ehlinger said. “I mean, what a selfless dude. To be moved to the running back position just for emergency cases and his work ethic hasn’t dropped at all. Obviously, he’s a freak athlete, he knows the offense really well and he always has a positive attitude about it. So I’ve been very proud of him.”Texas certainly hopes that Johnson can stay on the sideline over the next few weeks, but he deserves a ton of credit for stepping up and making himself available at a completely different position if necessary.[247Sports]
zoom Taiwanese container line Evergreen has resumed direct calls at Marseille Fos port in France for the first time in eleven years with the aim to double its traffic. With its return, Evergreen is replacing a slot arrangement within the CKYHE alliance by adding its own ships to those of Cosco, K Line, Yang Ming and Hanjin calling at Fos on the Asia/Mediterranean/northern Europe rotation.The company’s first Fos call under the service was made by the 8,508 TEU Ever Living. The service is operated from the Seayard terminal at the French port’s Fos 2XL facility.Evergreen France chairman James Tang announced during a special ceremony that from next year the company plans to replace ships as Ever Living with 14,000 TEU vessels in a move aimed at doubling Evergreen’s Fos throughput.“Evergreen never completely left Marseille. We retained our office and, following the 2011 French port reforms, we reached the slot agreement with CKYH, allowing us to maintain market share at Fos. Now, by positioning our own ships within the alliance, we have given ourselves the target of doubling our traffic,” Tang said.“Taking account of the congestion that we observe in north European ports, we join the strategic vision of Marseille Fos in positioning itself as a southern alternative to serve French and European markets,” he added. The announcement comes at a time when container shipping companies are reshuffling memberships in alliances.

APTN National News OTTAWA—Assembly of First Nations National Chief Perry Bellegarde wrote an email to MP’s urging them to support Cree NDP MP Romeo Saganash’s private members bill to have UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People apply to new federal laws.Bellegarde sent the email to MPs across party lines Tuesday urging them to support Bill C-641 during Wednesday’s House of Commons second reading vote.If the bill fails to get enough votes it won’t go to committee for hearings and study.“Statements that the declaration is incompatible with Canada’s constitution are untrue and undermine Canada’s standing and reputation in the international community,” wrote Bellegarde, in the email, which was obtained by APTN National News. “The declaration offers a road map to correct the entrenched patters of system discrimination and the many barriers to First Nations enjoying all fundamental human rights and freedoms.”The Harper government is opposing Saganash’s bill arguing it is not compatible with the constitution and that it would give First Nations a veto over federal legislation.“Adoption of Bill C-641 provides a crucial opportunity for the federal government to engage in genuine partnership with Indigenous peoples,” wrote Bellegarde. “I urge you to vote for Bill C-641 at (second) reading…and to provide your unequivocal support to its passage and fulfillment.”news@aptn.ca@APTNNews

Hart Guile Comments are closed. So glad they didn’t pull the championship from Becky. If it was a short term set back, like it apparently is, just wouldn’t have made sense. ’80-90’s used to have months on end injuries and never relinquished a championship. Though, it was a much smaller talent pool then too.
